Have some incorrect quotes from Tallest Red and Tallest Purple.
.......
Tallest Purple: Here's some advice
Tallest Red: I didn't ask for any
Tallest Purple: Too bad. I'm stuck with my thoughts and you're the only one who talks to me
.......
Tallest Purple: So that's my plan.
Tallest Red: Are you alright with constructive criticism? I don't want to sound mean.
Tallest Purple: No, go ahead, I want to hear it.
Tallest Red: It f*cking sucks.
Tallest Purple: That's not constructive criticism.
......
Tallest Purple: Oh just so you know, it's very muggy outside
Tallest Red:....
Tallest Red: Purple, I swear, if I step outside and all our mugs are on our front lawn...
Tallest Purple: *sips hot chocolate from bowl*
......
Tallest Red: You're the love of my life and my best friend, I would do anything for you.
Tallest Purple: I want you to eat three meals a day and have a decent sleep schedule.
Tallest Red: Absolutely not.
......
Tallest Red: Ok, maybe playing 'whose family is most dysfunctional' wasn't the best idea we've had. Purple's been crying in the bathroom for an hour. We can't get them out...
......
Tallest Purple: Okay, truth or dare?
Tallest Red: Truth
Tallest Purple: How many hours have you slept this week?
Tallest Red:...
Tallest Red:...Dare
Tallest Purple: Go to bed.
Tallest Red: I don't like this game.
......
Tallest Purple: I'm 10 times funnier and sexier than you
Tallest Red: 10 times 0 is still 0 though
Tallest Purple: Jokes on you, I can't do math
......
(they're on earth btw)
Tallest Red: Look, I may not be a saint, but it's not like I've killed anybody. I'm not an arsonist. I've never found a wallet outside of an IHOP and thought about returning it but saw the owner lived out of state so just took the cash and dropped the wallet back on the ground.
Tallest Purple: Okay, that's really specific, and that makes me think that you definitely did do that.
......
Tallest Purple, pointing: May I sit there?
Tallest Red: That's my lap.
Tallest Purple: That doesn't answer my question, Red.
......
Tallest Purple: Change is inedible.
Tallest Red: Don't you mean inevitable?
Tallest Purple, spitting out coins: No, I did not.
......
Tallest Red: In light of what you did for me, you can hug me for four to five seconds.
Tallest Purple: FORTY FIVE SECONDS?!?
Tallest Red: No! Four to five seconds!
Tallest Purple: Too late!!!
......
Tallest Purple: Stop buying plastic skeletons for Halloween! It's terrible for the environment!
Tallest Red: Yeah! Locally sourced, all natural skeletons are much more environmentally friendly!
......
Tallest Red: How petty can you get?
Tallest Purple: I once edited a Wikipedia article to win an argument I was wrong about.
......
Tallest Red: Purple was banned from the chicken shack, so we had to go out of town to get some.
Tallest Purple: Well they shouldn't say "all you can eat" if they don't mean it.
Tallest Red: Purple, you ate a chair.
......
Tallest Red: Someone will die.
Tallest Purple: Of fun!

would you be interested in writing some more healthy sibling-bonding? something with nyo germany and nyo prussia or maybe nyo netherlands and nyo belgium?? I would really like that :) ((btw i dont know if its the kind of 'rat aesthetic' u meant, but i really enjoy paperdrawsshit's nyo prussia, maybe u do too?))
yes!! here is a drabble about nyo!germany moving into a new apartment. I definitely love benelux and will come back to them, so I’ll tag you when I post that. besides I owe everyone something nice after making the sibling/family dynamics in Both Sides Now so horrendously dysfunctional lol.
(and I love paper’s nyo!Prussia!!! we need accurate Prussia rep)
anyways I really hope you like this one :)
“Ow— shit, shove me a little harder, will you?”
Monika huffs, setting her side of the couch down. “Fine. We’ll stop here, then.”
“Thank god,” Julchen sighs. “I told you it looks better like this anyway.”
The couch in question is skewed horrendously in the middle of the living room, sitting at an awkward angle that somehow doesn’t match up with anything else, and Monika finds herself pressing a hand to her forehead so hard it might just punch through.
Julchen just laughs, raucous and loud. “Look, asymmetry is pretty slick-looking. It’s in. Get with the times, Monika.”
“Just because your friend is an architect—”
“Yeah, okay. Interior design is different and all that. Listen, it looks nice, can we be done now?”
Monika sighs, running her hand through her bangs, over the back of her head. It’s getting kind of long, she thinks. Need to get it cut. I don’t think I’d ever hear the end of it from Julchen if it grew into a mullet, which is a terrifying thought in and of itself.
“Sure,” she says, clearing her throat and straightening up. “I’ll see you off?”
Julchen recoils dramatically. “What are you on? No, we’re celebrating. I know a good place for doner and drinks a couple blocks out. Get your coat.”
Celebrating?
“Having an apartment all to yourself,” Julchen drawls, “in fuckin’ Berlin. Finishing moving in, unpacking, being a girl boss or whatever. That’s what we’re celebrating.”
“Ah,” Monika says, sighing. “Fine. Give me a moment.”
By the time she’s thrown on a light jacket and slipped on her usual scuffed-up boots, Julchen is already holding the door open, grinning wildly with some grandiose flourish of her arms as if to shout this way! Her hair is down and loose around the nape of her neck.
“Alright, alright,” Monika grumbles. “Let’s go.”
The place is indeed only a couple blocks away. It’s a cramped food cart with a couple of wobbly plastic tables and chairs set out in front, a couple of straggling customers waiting around in the front. Julchen barks out an order for Monika to sit down right now, I’m paying, so she takes a seat and watches her sister carry a very animated conversation with the man in the truck.
When’s the next time we’ll be able to be like this? Monika thinks. Are we going to see each other still?
I’ll kind of miss her. I don’t want to stay in our old place, but I’ll miss it. Even all the books and papers and knick-knacks and… 
Well, maybe I won’t miss those...
“Wow, what’s on your mind?” Julchen snorts, sliding into the seat across from her with a couple beers in hand. “You look like you just got dumped.”
Monika rolls her eyes. “Nothing. What’d you get?”
“Pilsners,” Julchen replies, handing her a bottle, “and two doner sandwiches, the works, extra hot sauce. Like always.”
Monika cracks her bottle open against the side of the table and takes a swig. “Alright. Thank you.”
Julchen snorts. “Thank me later, after you’ve tried it.”
“Come on. I should be thanking you for a lot of things,” Monika retorts.
“Oh, really. Like what.”
Monika squints at her sister, shaking her bangs out of her eyes, beer in hand and shoulders feeling stiff. Is she joking? It doesn’t seem like it, not really— Julchen just sips her beer, casually staring off to the side, nonchalant in the way she usually is when she doesn’t feel like clowning around.
“I just mean— you’re the one who helped me find the apartment in the first place,” Monika finally mutters.
Julchen huffs and plunks her bottle down on the table with a ring-studded hand. “And you’re the one who chose it and paid for it. Can’t always blame it on me, give yourself some credit.”
“You helped me with university and job-hunting.”
“You studied your ass off,” Julchen retorts.
Monika finds herself leaning forward, frown intensifying. “You taught me how to study.”
Julchen rolls her eyes. “This is ridiculous. Today is a day for us to be celebrating, Monika, not sucking Julchen’s dick.”
“Well, it’s true,” Monika says, defensiveness creeping into her voice, dismay creeping into her heartbeat. “Julia Maria, you literally raised me. You’re just as responsible for my successes as I am. You of all people should know that.”
Julchen passes through a moment where it looks like she’s about to laugh, a moment that melts off almost immediately, as if she set herself up for a funny joke that never came— and she blinks back at Monika with something open, stunned, raw, silent.
“You know what,” she finally says.
“What?” Monika says.
Julchen snorts, staring down at her lap. “Shit, I’m gonna miss you a lot. You better visit me.”
“Of course,” Monika blurts, swallowing down a sudden lump in her throat, swallowing down every emotion that jumps to the surface. “You’re just ten minutes away on the U-Bahn, why wouldn’t I visit?”
“Julchen!” the man in the truck calls. “Two for Julchen!”
Julchen grins good-naturedly, as if to say thank god, let’s move on, and she’s out and back in no time with two heaping doner sandwiches.
The works, extra hot sauce, as always. Two Pilsners.
“Really though,” Monika says. “Thank you.”
Julchen smiles. Shrugs. “Fine. Prost!”
“Prost.”
They clink their bottles together, and Monika finds herself smiling into her beer, the cool condensation against her fingers making a wonderful contrast to the humid warmth in the air. She has a new apartment to get back to, and a new couch to arrange properly. She has a plate of food to eat.
Mostly, she has a sister to spend time with. That’s really all there is to it.

HELLO HELLO THE NAME’S KAR, i’m 19 ( and never fuckin learned how to read ) and i go by any pronouns?? primarily they’re she/fae but use whatever u like as long as it’s not it/its and we’re good pals!! anyways, i’m here 2 bring u the one n only LUCIUS MALFOY w his pet peacock and two hours spent in front of the mirror styling his hair. i’m really bad at introductions but under the cut is my ( semi ) serious lucius introduction!!
( YOON JEONGHAN, DEMIBOY, HE/HIM ) — LUCIUS MALFOY ? oh, you mean the EIGHTEEN year old PUREBLOOD. they’re a SEVENTH year SLYTHERIN, aren’t they ? i’ve heard they’re really RESOURCEFUL, but i know for a fact that they can be CALLOUS at times. rumor has it that after graduation they'll SIDE WITH THE DEATH EATERS.
born to abraxas and anais malfoy, lucius grew up pampered. a prince in his own right — the prince of the house of malfoy. abraxas, while tough on him, did what he did out of love. lucius knew it too, for his father wouldn’t have given that amount of effort searching for only the best tutors and schooling him on wand works and potions from such an early age if he wasn’t doing it for love. all he wanted was the best for his heir. lucius isn’t blind; he sees it too. he sees why it’s necessary and never once has he voiced out a complaint.
yet those who work in the malfoy manor know that he grew up too fast. by the time he turned ten he could easily hold a conversation with someone four years his senior. a prodigy, the young prince is, they whisper. but at what cost?
abraxas loves him, and lucius couldn’t be any more thankful for the schooling his father put him through, but both father and son are blinded by love that they do not see what’s become of the young malfoy. he could ask for anything he wishes in this world, yet, there’s one thing that lucius abraxas malfoy never could have: a childhood.
but his mother loves him too. oh, does she love him. abraxas might be her heart, but lucius is her entire life. she dotes on him in her own quiet little way. nobody expected anais to be the mother that she is, but she is. and lucius too, loves his mother. where his father is hard on all his edges, anais is where lucius turns to when he’s in need of solace.
anyways this is long already and i’m trying to be poetic but it’s Not Working and i’ve only touched on his childhood but those are my headcanon based stuff so i figured they were necessary. tldr; lucius grew up loved. there are a lot of dysfunctional pureblood families out there, and though yes, abraxas might have “fucked up” lucius’ childhood, so to speak, family is everything to lucius and that wasn’t born out of duty or fear. it is his duty, but above all, love is what drives him. he wants to make his parents proud, and he will stand tall to see what his father and mother wished for him to accomplish.
moving on, lucius is cold yes, but he’s not an unnecessary asshole. he looks down on most of everyone and carries himself as though he is king already, but would he waste time to stop a muggleborn on his way to classes to insult them? nah. he probably wouldn’t even spare a moment to look at them. he’s very guarded too, and probably prefers the term allies over friends bc he’s a Pretentious Bitch. that aside though, he is somewhat cordial towards most purebloods in his circle, if not to be all political and shit. he’s not kind, no, but he knows when diplomacy is required of him.
yeah so anyways what i said about his hair in my opening paragraph? that’s only half a joke. he cares a lot about his appearances, and puts a lot of stock into it. he doesn’t dress to impress, but he does dress to intimidate. appearances make a bold statement, and lucius thinks any politician should know the power they have. i imagine at this age his hair isn’t particularly long yet, — probably shoulder length — but remember that in the movies when he has his long blonde hair he has it tied back with a green ribbon and well, that’s the most lucius malfoy thing i’ve ever seen.
silver snake, iron king, golden heir — you name it. he’s one hell of a pretentious bitch and if u see me referring to the elements and giving him titles like that, that’s because he sees it fit. trust me, he gives me a headache to write too with how pretentious he is but I Love Him.
his birthday is on december 22, making him a winter baby and a capricorn, which also means he just recently turned eighteen during their winter holidays.
oh, one last thing! honestly, he really doesn’t care how people see his gender and he doesn’t exactly advertise that he’s a demiboy, but he knows what he is and is confident in both his gender identity and expression. he’s not a man, and for lucius, what anyone else says doesn’t matter. also quick additional hc i have but i hc abraxas is also demifluid so transphobia is most definitely Not Something that happens in the malfoy household.
i have more useless facts and headcanons about lucius too such as his boggart, wand, etc etc but since this is already Long™, i’ll save that for later.
uhhh here is lucius’ pinterest board btw and that quote in the desc is him af too!
to finish this off, have a lucius malfoy af quote: “ do not mistake me for my mask. you see light dappling on the water and forget the deep, dark cold beneath. ”
anyways! hmu if u wanna plot with me!

We Are Family: Coming Out

The house is crammed with colorful characters all trying to figure out what they want to do with their lives. Avengers AU

Warnings: mentions of homophobia
Word count: 1658
Read previous parts here
The past two weeks had gone by in a blur. As Bucky predicted, the owner of the cafe was desperate for help, and he hired you on the spot the day after you moved into the brownstone. Thankfully, you had worked at a Starbucks for a summer between sophomore and junior year of high school, so you had an upper hand when it came to making drinks. You had been working almost every day (except Sunday of course), sometimes even picking up two shifts in one day. The money was decent, and you always got to take any leftover sandwiches when you closed the cafe.
“Heading out, Y/N?” your boss asked as you pulled off your apron. Jarvis seemed entirely too dapper to own a cafe, but he really seemed to enjoy his work. His British accent always amused you, and you liked to give him a hard time over how he pronounced certain words. He was incredibly kind, which wasn’t surprising since he let you have Sundays off. You knew better than to underestimate him though. Wanda, one of your co-workers, had told you about a time he had single-handedly beat up a couple of drunk guys for making a pass at her and refusing to leave.
You hung your apron on one of the hooks behind the counter. “Yeah, I’m leaving,” you replied. “Unless you need me to stay?”
“You’re fine to go. You’ve been here all day,” Jarvis said.
Secretly, you were relieved. You had worked three doubles in five days days, and it was starting to take a toll on you. Thankfully, tomorrow was Sunday, so you could catch up on some sleep.
Jarvis picked up on your tired expression right away. “I know these hours haven’t been easy,” he said, kindly. “You’re one of my best workers, and I appreciate you coming in so much. Once my college kids come back for the new school year, you can cut back a bit.”
College. That one word stopped you dead in your tracks. You were supposed to be in California in three days getting ready to move in your dorm. Swallowing, you mustered a small smile. Apparently, you hadn’t completely gotten over the fact that you weren’t going to anywhere this fall.
“Thanks Jarvis. Night.” You waved goodbye and made the short trip next door to the bookstore where Bucky worked.
The bell chimed as you opened the door, and you saw Bucky standing behind the counter ringing up a customer. The bookstore reminded you a bit of his room at home, with books covering every conceivable surface. The store was a converted house, and shelves lined the walls from the floor to the ceiling. Plush chairs and couches were placed strategically throughout the store for readers who wanted to stay and enjoy the atmosphere. Even though your schedule didn’t always match Bucky’s, you didn’t mind waiting for him to finish up his shifts. He had become like a big brother to you, and you enjoyed his company.
You sat down on a big green chair and let your legs dangle over the side. Resting your head against the back cushion, you sighed. Working so many hours had not only kept your body busy, but also your mind. You had barely had time to stop and think about your current situation, but Jarvis’ innocent mention of college brought reality crashing back over you. It was really a miracle you had lasted this long before breaking. You blinked back tears as Bucky walked over.
“Hey, how was work?” he asked.
“Fine,” you replied, shrugging your shoulders. He saw right through your attempt to appear nonchalant.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I’m just tired.” Your body betrayed you, and your vision became blurry as your eyes swam with tears. The bell above the door chimed, signalling the entrance of another customer. You quickly wiped at your face, trying to erase any evidence of you crying.
Bucky reached out his hand. “Come on.” You reluctantly grasped his hand, and he pulled you over behind the counter. You sat down on the floor out of sight from customers, and your arms wrapped you in a tight ball. Your shoulders shook as you cried into your knees.
Bucky stared down at you, completely out of his element. With no other ideas, he pulled his phone out and opened the group text.
Bucky: SOS @ bookstore. Something’s wrong with Y/N.
Almost immediately, his phone buzzed with responses.
Steve: What’s wrong?
Nat: Is she hurt?
Sam: What happened?
Tony: What did you do?
Bucky: Idk, but she’s behind my counter crying. What should I do?
Bucky: Geez, Tony, really?
Nat: Omw. Try not to make it worse
Steve: Be there in 10.
Clint: I’m delivering a pizza a couple miles away from you. I’ll stop by.
Bucky: I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING NAT!
Steve: Clint, are you texting and driving? Don’t you know how dangerous that is?
Bruce: Sorry, I’m at the lab.
Clint: Shut it. I’m at a damn red light.
Sam: You’re always at the lab Bruce! Can’t you spare five minutes?
Sam: Heading over now btw. Tony, need a ride?
Bruce: This won’t take five minutes!
Tony: Yeah, boss is letting me leave now.
Clint: Bruce, I’m coming to the lab first. Get your ass outside or I’m dragging you out.
Steve: Clint!
Clint: Steve!
Bruce: Fine, but you need to bring me back after.
Tony: Where’s Thor?
Sam: Gym.
Nat: Gym
Clint: Gym prob
Bucky: I put the closed sign up but the door’s unlocked. Just come in.
Clint: Got it boss.
Steve: CLINT STOP TEXTING AND DRIVING
You weren’t really sure how long you sat behind the counter crying, but it felt good to finally get it all out. Bucky had rung out the last customer and disappeared out in the store for a few minutes. When he came back, he sat down across from you. He remained silent, but his presence was still comforting.
The bell chimed and you expected him to get back up, but he didn’t. Instead, another figure sat down next to you and gently intertwined your fingers with theirs. You looked up and saw Nat. She gave you a comforting smile, and squeezed your hand encouragingly. You couldn’t help but cry even harder.
The bell rang again, and this time, Steve, Tony, and Sam walked in and joined you behind the counter. Steve sat on your other side and wrapped his arm around your shoulders. You welcomed his embrace but continued to keep your head down.
The bell rang a third time. A frantic Clint rushed in, followed by a grumbling Bruce.
“What am I supposed to do?” Bruce hissed as they approached the counter. “I’m not good at this stuff!”
Clint shoved his shoulder and put a finger to his lips. “Just shut up and be there for her you idiot!”
He and Bruce walked over Bucky’s legs to the opposite end of the space. The area behind the cash register was small to begin with, and it was quite cramped with all eight of you behind it. But everyone stayed and waited.
After you had finally cried everything out of your system, you slowly raised your head. Clint handed you a small pile of napkins to blow your nose, and they smelled faintly of pizza. Sam passed you the small trash can by his side, and you tossed the napkins inside.
You cleared your throat. “I’m gay,” you finally said. “My parents kicked me out because I’m gay. That’s why I moved in with you guys.”
With the exception of Bucky of Steve, everyone’s expressions went from shock, to anger, to sadness.
“I’m so sorry,” Sam replied, softly.
Nat squeezed your hand again, and this time, you squeezed back.
“I thought they’d be okay with it, you know?” you continued. “But they gave me a night to pack my stuff and leave.” You let out a shuddering breath. “I was supposed to go to California for college in a few days, but that’s obviously not going to happen. Not until I save money or figure something else out. I just wasn’t expecting to have to grow up so fast, I guess.” Shrugging your shoulders you concluded, “That’s it. That’s my story.”
Clint let out a low whistle. “That sucks, kid.”
“Clint!” Steve admonished. “Seriously?”
“What? It does!”
“Even I know that’s insensitive, man,” Bruce chimed in.
As everyone continued to berate Clint, you took a second to look around. You were all stuffed behind the cashier counter of a bookstore at 7 o’clock at night. You had only known these people for two weeks, and yet here they were. Steve had been right, this was a family, and you were now part of it. It might be a bit dysfunctional, but it was a hell of a better family than the one you left behind in Maryland.
You cleared your throat, causing them to pause. “Thank you,” you said gratefully.
“Anytime,” Tony replied. The others murmured their agreement.
“You’re safe with us,” Nat added. “We won’t judge you.”
“Oh, no, we’ll judge you,” Sam interjected. “For example, I judge you for that ridiculous music you listen to on the radio.” His eyes twinkled as he grinned. “I mean, country music? Seriously?” he asked incredulously. “But I’m not gonna judge you for being gay.”
Steve shook his head at Sam and smiled at you. Returning his smile, you stood up and pulled him with you. Everyone followed suit, enjoying their freedom from the confined space.
“Anyone else hungry?” Clint asked. “Fury won’t miss me for another twenty minutes.”
“Yes!” you all exclaimed in unison.
Just as you were about to figure out where to go for food, the bell chimed again. A shirtless Thor sprinted inside, his chest heaving and covered with a thin sheen of sweat. The group stared at him in disbelief, and he stared back.
“What did I miss?”
