deep down i'll never stop being an astrology girly so here i am reading about the compatibility between marauders era characters and i might be projecting but i think they're pretty close to how i picture the dynamics
lily & severus
Capricorn and Aquarius friendship compatibility is pretty high. Both of them are the kind of people that go picky when selecting their BFFs and believe in investing in them thoroughly. If they closely get along with each other, they will share a shrewd bonding that would be liked by all around. With fun and excitement in their friendship, Capricorn and Aquarius friends share a lot in common. Both love to search for timeless things and believe in scorning fads. Where Aquarius shows its creativity, their Capricorn buddy just perceives it all right and calculatedly and right with them. Therefore, as pals, they could effortlessly get along, but only if none of them becomes critical or demotivating.
james & sirius
Both Scorpio and Aries are ruled by the planet Mars in astrology. The energies of two Mars natives could lead them to either become allies or ruthless enemies. Arguments in friendship are inevitable but the differences won't exist for long. Aries, as they like to be the starters of things, claims the spotlight in the Aries and Scorpio relationship, meanwhile, the Scorpio stays behind the scenes to support the Aries intellectually and emotionally. Aries and Scorpio could have a wonderful friendship and achieve great success while having their share of fun.
sirius & remus
These two Water Signs are terrific friends. Protective Scorpio loves caring for vulnerable Pisces. The whimsical Fish enjoys lifting Scorpio's spirits. They're highly creative people who love collaborating on writing, music, and design projects. When they're not working, they have fun trading books, watching movies and going to concerts together. These two Scorpio Pisces friends are intense souls who often form friendships within a fringe group – think Skater-punks and Metalheads. Scorpio, in particular, likes to look down on mere mortals and frightens people off with their menacing demeanour and sometimes, eyeliner and multiple piercings. Pisces is fashionably depressive enough for fringe dwelling but recognizes much of Scorpio’s schtick is self-preservation – they soothe the scorpion beast with creativity and off-beat spirituality. Scorpio understands Pisces chaotic mind and teaches them how to focus on one idea before moving onto the next.
james & remus
The Aries sign in astrology is ruled by the planet Mars while, on the other hand, Pisces is ruled by the planet Jupiter. The influence of Mars keeps the Aries strong and active. Jupiter’s influence adds intensity to their friendship. Aries could help Pisces realise their dreams, and on the other hand, Pisces could provide a recess where Aries could display the softer side of their character. In a nutshell, both the signs complement each other well in a relationship. And as they do so, the chances of their friendship turning into something special are always high.
lily & james
(romantic compatibility) Here comes your knight in shining armour Aries. Apart from the initial A, there are literally thousands of other things that take the Aries and Aquarius compatibility beyond imagination. The Aries are usually attracted to the Aquarius owing to the latter’s charming personality. The Aries and Aquarius are very idealistic individuals and extremely good at communicating their thoughts and feelings with each other. In love, the Aquarius are a bit reserved but open and excited about learning the hows and wows of the relationship. These two signs usually go well together in general and they support each other through thick and thin.
(communication) The Aries and Aquarius conversations are so fulfilling that many people would literally pay to listen them talk. It doesn't happen often for the Aries to find an idol in someone, but an Aquarius does inspire them. An Aries would listen to the Aquarius with sheer curiosity, all excited about what they might discover. Meanwhile, Aquarius also enjoys their role as a sharer for they have so much to say. However, Aquarius is not up for ridiculous conflicts and usually cuts the other person from their life to safeguard themselves from the same. Thus, it is recommended that the Aries rein their impulsive nature and urge to counter when they converse with Aquarius.
am i crazy or does it actually make sense???? i also wish we knew what is peter's solar sign. i feel inclined towards gemini or cancer, but i'd love to hear if anyone has any thoughts on this

Hi hello I (an aroace) have been thinking about aromantic representation (or lack there of) in media and fanfiction and all the things I wish I could see out of what little we have so here goes.
I want to see the wider spectrum, and the fact that it's a spectrum in the first place. I want to see both the struggles and joys of aromantic. I want to see relationships that aren't bound to the societal norms of platonic and romantic relationships
I want to see characters who struggle to tell the difference between platonic and romantic attraction.
I want to see them be comfortable and happy being aro and having close friends.
Lets have characters who do experience romantic attraction, but have no desire to be in a romantic relationship, and have that be okay.
Lets have the reverse, where characters don't experience romantic attraction but do want to be in a romantic relationship.
Lets have characters who's experience of romantic attraction fluctuates.
I want to see aro/allo and aro/aro and aro/ace stuff
I want to see stories of family and friends struggling to understand non traditional or romantic partnerships, and sometimes they come around and sometimes they don't, but you are never alone because your partner and your friends and your family who care are there for you
There should be stories about the struggle of the societal expectation/normalization of putting romantic partners over friendships, and the people who get left behind because of that
There should be stories of people who are in a romantic relationship, and realize that one or both of them is aro, but love their partner in a platonic sense or Secret Third Way and who work through it together
Let there be cute little domestic slice of life fics about platonic life partners or qprs
Let QPR representation be different in every iteration, it's a queer relationship that isn't defined by anything other than the people in it. Let them resemble platonic relationships or romantic relationships or both or neither
Give me characters who love their person deeply and violently and intrinsically but it's a little to the left of platonic and a little to the right of romantic
Give me characters who are greyromantic and demiromantic and aroflux (ect.) navigating the struggles and highs and lows of being those identites
Give me relationships that are a mix of platonic and romantic but not necessarily either one
Give me platonic life partners who love each other and live their lives together
Give me non-traditional relationships in general TLDR; there are so many options for representation of aromantistim and non traditional relationships and I want to see them all
The way I crave more aromantic tropes will never be satiated, these were just off the top of my head while word-vomiting, there are so many more ways to do this kind of representation, so don't be afraid to add on your own thoughts in the reblogs and comments! I just wanted to share some of the silly little thoughts rattling around in my skull. Hell I might come back with more in a week, who knows lol

it‘s you [x.t.]
xavier thorpe x fem. reader
warnings: fluff, confessing feelings, pda
Tumblr media
you and xavier were best friends for quite a long time now. you knew each other from kindergarten times, kind of lost each other inbetween, and met again at nevermore academy. you both immediately clicked again and quickly worked over the time you were apart. you both were inseparable. everything you did, you did together. and if xavier was going through tough times, you did as well. you were just like ying and yang.
he could bring his paintings to life, you were a shapeshifter. you were the only one at this school, except principal weems. that, and your close relationship to xavier, made you one of the most interesting personas at the academy. everyone had special abilities, but yours is a really heavy one to carry.
but you never used your ability to trick people seriously. only to pull a prank on your friends or to just get a little bit of peace when it‘s hectic around you.
but enough of your ability.
a few weeks after xavier broke up with bianca, he started to act…different. he was rather distant towards you. he did spend his time with you like always, but he was quiet and let you do all the talking. you already spoke up about it but xavier just shrugged it off and said it‘s nothing, he just didn‘t feel good. you suggested a visit at the school nurse but he turned that down as well. after asking about bianca he didn‘t seem really bothered by the topic, so you guessed it was something else.
outreach day came and you were all getting your tasks over an envelope. you were happy to spend the day at the coffee shop weathervane and soon learned that xavier was going to work there as well. jumping happily, xavier just gave you a rather sad smile which made you stop. you decided to bring it up again in a rather quiet minute and when no one else was around.
and that moment was coming right after you both finished your really busy shift at weathervane. it was dark outside and the both of you were pushing your bikes towards the academy when you decided to break the silence.
„xavier, can i ask you something?“ you said and looked at him, waiting for a reaction.
xavier nodded and hummed before looking at you.
„what is with you these last weeks? you got so quiet and look so absent the whole time. and don‘t tell me you just don‘t feel well. if that‘s really the deal you would‘ve been at the nurses office already, i know you.“
xavier looked forward but stopped walking. he held onto his bike and sighed. „you know, after i broke up with bianca i realized i liked someone else the whole time. and i don‘t know how to approach that person and be honest“
to be honest? hearing that kind of hurt. your chest was clenching and your heart rate picked up. to be honest with yourself, you liked xavier. ever since you met again you felt that you were longing for more than just friendship. and now he liked someone else? it was hard for you, but you did all your best to keep your cool.
„is it a she or a he? you know, i can help you with either but it‘s going to be difficult if it‘s a he, i don‘t know what guys really enjoy when getting confessed to.“
xavier looked at you and smiled slightly. „thank you for being understanding but it‘s a she. i know her really well but i still can‘t bring myself to be honest“
you hummed and nodded, trying to think of a good way for xavier to confess his feelings, without feeling hurt yourself. but that couldn‘t be done. you would be hurt eitherway. „maybe try to make a romantic atmosphere around the both of you. with fairy lights or candles. or both. if she‘s into that. and if not, just catch her in a moment when you both are alone, privacy you know. and when the mood is right just blurt it out. she can either say yes, i like you too or no, i don‘t like you that way. eitherway you‘re going to learn out of that situation and take it as a lesson to go on with your life“
xavier listened to you and nodded. „you‘re right. waiting any longer won‘t benefit me. or her.“
you nodded as well and kept walking, but stopped as xavier wasn‘t following you. „are you coming?“ seriously, what was wrong with him being so drowned in his own thoughts like that. you walked back to him and stopped right in front of him.
„xav?“
xavier looked up at you and it seemed like he had trouble breathing.
„i like you. i always liked you. i‘m sorry for not seeing it earlier. i‘m so dumb for not seeing it. but it was always you that i wanted. who i wanted to be so close to. who i always wanted to touch, to show everyone you‘re mine.“
you blinked. why would he practice his speeche now all of the sudden??
„uhm..i mean..maybe cut out the touching part? but besides that it was good“ you nodded „i bet she‘ll like that. and you‘re someone who nobody could say no to“ you said and smiled at him. „come on, let‘s g—"
„no, y/n. it‘s you.“
„what do you mean…?“
„it‘s you who i was talking about the whole time! you‘re making me crazy! i couldn‘t be around you because my head wouldn‘t stop thinking about you! i hate it when the other guys drool over you! i… i just want everyone to know that you‘re mine and that no one else can touch you or look at you the way all of them do! i can‘t hide it anymore but i just like you so much. and i always did. but i was blind. and dumb to put all of my problems regarding my love life on you. it should‘ve been us the whole time.“ xavier caught his breath and looked away, scared of your reaction. was he doing too much? did he go too far? every possible thought was crossing his mind and they were getting louder as you said literally nothing, just standing there, holding onto your bike for your dear life.
„…xavier, i… i don‘t know what to say.“
„it‘s okay. i figured you wouldn‘t feel the same“
„when did i say i don‘t?“
xavier looked back at you. he felt dizzy at the way he didn‘t know what to say, where to look, what to think.
„xavier, i like you too.“
„are….are you for real?“
you had to chuckle and nodded.
„i am. i would love your hands all over me so everybody knows who i belong to. i would love you calling me by whatever endearing name you can think of. and i would love to kiss you right here and right now.“
xavier didn‘t need to hear it twice. he let his bike fall to the ground and cupped your face in his warm hands. he took a glance at your beautiful sparkling eyes. he came closer and your noses were almost touching. but your lips did first. his soft lips on yours felt like two puzzle peaces fitting together. you both closed your eyes and your kisses drowned into the dark but beautiful night.

a/n
little shorter than my other story but i hope you like it🫶🏼

Half-Wrong (College!Matt Murdock x college!fem!Reader)
Author’s Note: Howdy folks, ya girl somehow caught Covid during the worst week possible! I have a 102 fever and I don't really remember writing this cuz I've been taking a lot of naps, so if it doesn't make sense and has errors I'm sorry. I saw that Owen Sleater gifset (iykyk) and rolled with it. Enjoy :)
Summary: You have been attracted to Matt Murdock ever since the pair of you met at the coffee shop on campus on move-in day, but you knew he'd never feel the same way about you - this became especially true once you got insight on his romantic life. So when you find him waiting for you after you come back from a date, you take a chance.
Warnings: Sweet platonic fluff, close friendship vibes, kissing, smut (oral - f!receiving, sexy oral m!condom put on, protected sex, p in v sex), swearing
Other Characters: Foggy Nelson, ofc (Cassie)
Word Count: 2,844
Tumblr media
“C’mon, just a little more,” you huff as you move your run to a jog on the sidewalk. “A little bit more, and then we’ll be back at the dorms.”
“I don’t get why you think this is the best way to exercise,” Matt huffs as he puts his hands up in a T shape.
“You like boxing, I like a good run. Potato, potahto. The thing you should be thinking about is why you repeatedly agree and continue to go on runs with me,” you pant as you untie the tether that you use while you run—with Matt being unable to see and just how hard you imagine running with a cane would be, a tether to your waist to guide him and gently keep him out of the path of obstacles seemed like a good option.
“You know, I don’t think I’ve figured that part out yet, either. I mean, you do agree to box with me which is nice. But I think I just like spending time with you. Although, being tied with you does kind of make me feel like a dog.”
“Ah, but you’re such a kind, pretty dog with soft hair,” you smirk, ruffling his sweaty hair. “Such a good boy.”
“Alright, alright,” he chuckles, his cheeks flushing beyond the rosiness from the run. “Help me get to the cafe in the student union and I’ll buy us some waters.”
You press a kiss to his warm cheek and place his hand on your forearm. 
“Hey, are you still gonna join Foggy and I at Josie’s tonight?” he asks, his breathing sounding like it’s starting to return to normal as you both enter the nearby building.
“I thought that was tomorrow?” you return, navigating the pair of you through a small little self-serve concession area.
“No, tonight. You have plans?”
“Don’t sound too shocked.”
“I don’t mean it like that.”
“Okay. Then how did you mean it?”
“Well, just that you haven’t had plans in almost a year,” he exaggerates as he takes the waters you hand him.
“Excuse me, I have plans,” you say as you take the waters back and scan them, Matt rooting around in his shorts for his student ID.
“No, you have plans with your other friends semi-regularly. You never have date plans,” he clarifies as he swipes his ID to pay.
“I’m sorry all of us can’t be you with a new companion every few weeks.”
“I don’t have a ‘new companion’ every few weeks.”
“Oh, come on, Matt, don’t deny it,” you say as you drink your water. “Right now, it’s that girl from that IP law class, before that it was a dental student, then I think an international relations major? But let’s not forget about contract law girl, estate planning—.”
“Okay, fine, I’ve had a lot of short-term relationships.”
“Well, that’s great for you, but that’s not what I’m looking for,” you tell him. “I mean, I don’t expect anything right now to last forever, but, I don’t want it to be a four-week thing and then be done with it. If I’m gonna make plans with someone, it’s because I think I still might be making plans with them in five months.”
Matt nods and drinks some of his own water as you move back outside and in the direction of our dorms. “So, what’s this guy like? Where’d you meet?”
“Cassie actually set us up,” you say. “She said that he seemed like my type, like a really good guy.”
“Well, then, I’m happy you have plans tonight. I hope it goes well.”
“Thanks, Matt. I do, too. I mean, I have no reason to think they won’t. Just tell Foggy I’m sorry I’m gonna miss him tonight.”
“Of course.”
“Do I see a wild (Y/N) in one of her natural habitats?” you hear Foggy call from across the quad.
“Speak of the Nelson, and he shall appear!” you smile as he comes to wrap you in a hug. 
“I feel like I haven’t seen you in ages!”
“(Y/N) has a date tonight,” Matt says with a devilish grin.
“Matthew!” you say, giving him a swift whack. “This is exactly why I don’t tell you things.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I’m happy for you, really.”
“I am, too!” Foggy chimes in. “I’m bummed that it means you’ll miss drinks at Josie’s, but, it’s about time you get dicked down.”
“I need to hang out with more friends that are girls,” you sigh, taking a look at your watch. “I gotta go now if I want to take an everything shower.” Kissing each of their cheeks, you wave goodbye and run off to your dorm to get ready.
Tumblr media
“I just don’t see it going anywhere,” you sigh as you enter the main lobby of your dorm building.
“Really?” Cassie asks over the phone.
“We work on paper, but there wasn’t any spark.”
“Maybe the spark is gonna take some time.”
“A spark shouldn’t take time, Cass. It should be right there I didn’t feel anything.”
“You can’t pin every guy against Matt, you know.”
“I’m not comparing everyone against Matt,” you scoff incredulously. 
“Yes, you are. Ever since you met. I bet you felt a spark with him.”
“So what if I did? It’s clear he didn’t with me, but . . .” You sigh and shake the thought out of your head. “I’m not an option for him. He’s a good person, but more importantly, he’s my friend. I’m not gonna spend my time fantasizing about something that’s never gonna happen.”
“HA.”
“You are so mean.”
“I’m sorry, it’s just a funny concept—you, not fantasizing.”
“Rude.”
“I’m your oldest friend, it’s my job.”
“I appreciate it. Listen, I just got to my door, I’m gonna call it a night.”
“Okay, (Y/N). Sleep well.”
“You too.”
Hanging up, you sigh as you put your phone back into your bag, hiking the strap up over your shoulder, slipping out your keys and undoing the old locks. You toss your purse on the nearby table, but freeze in your tracks when you see someone sitting on your bed. Not any someone. Matt.
“You shouldn’t be in here this late,” you breathe.
“I shouldn’t be in here at all,” he says softly, folding his glasses and putting them on your nightstand. “But why do something half-wrong?”
You slowly start to close the gap between where he sits and where you stand. “Matt . . .”
“If you want me to go, I will. Just say the word.”
“. . . Why now?”
“I don’t know. I just . . . I realized tonight when I was at Josie’s with Foggy that if you’re going to be kissing anyone, I want it to be me.”
You don’t care what you just told Cassie. Honestly, you don’t care about anything or how this could complicate your friendship or any of the consequences. Instead, you move to your bed, climb into his lap, and kiss him. That spark you first felt with Matt when you met is a full-blown lightning bolt now, every last bit of you tingling with electricity; you know Matt feels it too from the way his hands slide up your back and how his fingers card through your hair. Matt leans back on the mattress, letting you take the lead as you make out. His kisses gradually grow more aggressive—the clashing of teeth, nipping, squeezing, and grinding. Matt rolls your bodies over on the bed, eagerly but carefully pulling off your shirt.
“Please tell me you were anticipating this and have condoms on you,” you pant as he peppers kisses all over your torso.
“Mmm,” he hums into my body. Oh my God, I think I just came. “Four.”
“We’re using all of them.” You feel how his lips curl into a smile against your body, making you writhe before you scream out when he starts to suck on the sweet spot on your neck.
“Ambitious,” he hums, licking and kissing at the stinging spot on my neck.
“Oh, well, you know me,” you grunt, your fingertips scratching his scalp. “I love to go above and beyond.”
“Let’s shoot for two,” he says into your collarbone.
“Don’t think I can handle using them all?”
He lifts his face up to be level with yours. “I’m saying that you won’t be walking straight after one. If we use more than two, I’ll be carrying you around campus for a week.”
“Sound like a challenge.”
“It’s a guarantee.”
You both smile brightly before you kiss, and you bunch up the cotton of his shirt exposing his soft skin and toned muscles something out of a romance novel.
“Like what you see?” he smirks.
“You’re too cocky for your own good,” you sigh as you run a hand down his exposed body. “But as a matter of fact, I really, really do.”
“Well, if you’re thinking of doing what I think you are, angel . . . Tonight is about you, and treating you right. How I should’ve treated you a long time ago.” He leans down and kisses your lips before moving the embraces along your cheek to just below your ear. “Sit back and relax, sweetheart. I’m gonna take good care of you.”
You sigh as he presses kisses down your chest, nipping at your cleavage and soothing the sting of any bite with his lips. You pant in excitement under his touch as his hands wrap around my back, unclasping your bra and sliding it painfully slow off of your body. You let out a sigh and toss your head to the side as his lips wrap around your nipple, one of his hands on your free breast while the other hand holds onto yours. Matt takes his time as if he’s trying to map out your body in his mind with his lips. Gazing down, you catch a glimpse of how happy Matt looks as he drags his lips further down your torso, pressing a long kiss on your belly button before unbuttoning your pants to shimmy them off your legs. Tossing them to the floor, he kisses all the way up your legs before spreading them apart to nestle his face against your covered core. You whine at his careful and deliberate movements, lifting your hips to help him slide the fabric off. Matt’s fingers gently spread you open, exposing yourself completely to him.
“Oh, fuck, you’re gonna be the death of me,” he breathes. “So perfect for me.”
Carefully, he lets out a soft breath on your pussy before leaning forward and wrapping his lips around your clit.
“Oh!” you cry out. “Fuck . . .”
Your toes curl as Matt works his magic, and your eyes flutter shut as you let your mind get caught up in all the things that Matt is making you feel. If you had known he could make you feel like this—if you knew he even felt an inkling of the same way toward your, you would’ve done something to let him know that you care about him more more than a friend.
“Matty,” you breathe, running your fingers through his hair. “Oh, Matt, just like that. So good.”
You watch as Matt tries to lift his gaze upward to meet yours, his beautiful hazel eyes sparkling with delight as he eats you out. You swallow hard, throwing your head back as you feel your orgasm quickly approach. You cry out when you feel him slide two fingers into you, curling them just right to throw you over the edge. Your body arches off of the mattress as you cry out, your thighs clenching around his head. Matt’s tongue cleans up every last drop of your arousal before kissing all the way back up your body.
“You taste so good, angel,” he murmurs into your lips. “You ready for me?”
“Please,” you breathe, kissing him deeply. “I need you.”
He grins, kissing you again before leaning back and undoing his pants, shimmying them down enough to free his cock from the fabric before he reaches in his pocket to grab a condom. He is absolutely huge—delightfully so, and I feel the space between my legs instantly flood at the sight of him. Now what he said about not walking straight makes total sense, and not Matt just being cocky.
“All the way off,” you demand with a smile.
“Your wish is my command, sweetheart.”
You bite your lip in excitement as he gets completely naked while you tear open the little foil package.
“C’mere,” you grin as you drink him in as he kneels on your bed, completely and utterly bare.
Matt licks his lips, doing as you ask, folding his arms behind his head. Fuck, he has to know what he’s doing when he rests like that. Carefully, you crawl over to him, putting the tip of the condom in your mouth before you wrap your hand around his base and bring your head down his length. Your jaw hurts as you go down his thick cock, but you manage to get it all the way down. When you get back up, you see how lust-blown Matt’s expression is, how flushed his cheeks and chest are.
“That was so fucking hot,” he hums. “Get over here, angel.”
With a smile, you move to meet him in a kiss, a new passion in the embrace that hand’t been there before.
“You ready for me?” he breathes.
“Yeah,” you nod eagerly as you dip down for a kiss.
With firm hands on your hips, he guides you down on his cock. You moan in harmony as he gets deeper and deeper in you, and it feels like you’re going to get split in two the further he goes. When you’re all the way down, he pulls you in for a deep kiss.
“Are you okay?” he breathes when your lips part.
“I’m okay,” you assure him. “You’re big."
“And you’re tight,” he smirks. “You good for me to move?”
“Oh, fuck, please.”
“Such good manners.”
With another kiss and a smile, Matt wraps his arms around you so your back is on the mattress and he’s hovering above you. You feel the sweet sting from the drag of his cock as he pulls out before pushing back in, testing and stretching you slowly as he starts to establish a rhythm. Your lips part as you feel more pleasure with each of Matt’s thrusts, one of your hands moving to his bicep and creating little crescent moons in his soft skin as he moves faster and faster.
“Right there,” you breathe. “Shit . . . Matt, yes, right there.”
“Good girl,” he hums. “So good taking my cock like that.”
“K-Kiss me,” you stutter, feeling your second orgasm approaching.
Looking at you tenderly, he leans down and kisses you long and slow, staying lower to keep little space between our bodies.
“You’re perfect,” he breathes, kissing your cheek. “So perfect.”
“Matt, ‘m close,” you whimper.
“Whenever you’re ready.” His hand cradles the side of your face, kissing you once more.
You bite your lip, stifling your moan as you come around Matt, your body clinging to his as he continues to move his hips, his skin flushing as he grunts, approaching his own release, spilling into the condom. He kisses you all over as your breathing steadies, pulling out and tossing the condom into the trash before wrapping you in his arms and kissing your wherever his lips can find skin.
“Matt,” you chuckle softly as he sucks marks into your collarbone.
“Shh,” he hums, kissing the marks to soothe them.
“Matt, it tickles!”
You feel his lips curl into a smile as he presses kisses up your neck. “I’ve always loved your laugh. This is just another way I can hear it.”
“And it’s another way I can see your smile.” You lean in, pressing a soft kiss to his lips. “You know, I bet if you give me enough time in between, we can use up all the condoms.”
“You think?”
“Nothing saying we can’t try.”
“Ambitious girl,” he smiles.
“It’s part of my charm. Why you like me. Why we work well together.”
“One of the reasons, yeah. There’s plenty of others, though.”
“Oh?”
“Mm.” He kisses your forehead. “I’ve got a whole list.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.” 
You giggle at the silence and look at him. “Are you gonna tell me any?”
Matt’s fingers trace aimless patterns on your skin. “I think you already know them, angel. But I’ll tell you one every day. Today, it’s your ambition. Tomorrow . . .” He lets out a breath. “It’ll be whatever feels right for me to point out.”
“Well, I’ve got a list, too. And right at the top is how safe you make me feel. How special you make me feel. How loved." You kiss his chest. "Tomorrow’s something might have to do with your nose.”
Matt’s expression is filled with tenderness, closing the gap between you once more, holding onto you and letting you rest right above his heart.

Can you talk about a situation where gojo and y/n are best friends since childhood and they start to develop something but it’s still not clear so they’re kinda in between that
i just had to include pining!gojo so i hope that's alright with you!! 🤍
Tumblr media
Satoru knew he liked you first, the type to say "It's always been you" when it comes down to it. You were beautiful to him since the first encounter and he treasures the friendship he built with you over the years. So when you began to see him more than just an annoying kid who turned into a handsome young man, you were unsure how to feel about this because you don't know how it'll affect the dynamics.
You and Satoru spent late nights together before but for some reason it feels different this time around. He's always looked at you the same but you're now only noticing how you can get so lost in his eyes. You both held hands running away from the servants as troublemaking kids, but it feels intimate when your fingers accidentally touch his and neither of you move for a moment. It's a small thing to get worked up over so you don't dwell on it.
The next day feels mostly normal but when Satoru walks into the classroom you suddenly have weird thoughts like did he always look that attractive? He notices your gaze on him and he simpers, "Stare any harder and I'll think you've fallen for me~" He's being full of himself again so you say something smart, but you never entirely rejected the statement. Shoko and Geto share a telepathic signal regarding their bets on you two.
When you're helping a cute grandma with her groceries and Satoru tags along because he follows you everywhere. She thanks you both for your utmost kindness, and before she lets you go about your afternoon she asks, "By the way, are you seeing anyone? I have a fine grandson-" Satoru chimes in hugging you tightly and explaining to the sweet old lady that you're with him so sadly you're off the market. You’re already used to him pretending for the couples promotion so you leave it at that.
You have wondered why Satoru hasn't been dating anyone when he attracts the attention of many girls, coming up to him and leaving their numbers with him but they could be meeting in secret. When it's his day off or the weekend, you're always included in his plans along with Geto, Shoko, and the other students. You'd stay peeled for any special girl that Satoru wants to introduce to his close friends yet she never appeared.
This goes on for several months before you come to terms that you DO have romantic feelings for Satoru, and as you muse over everything he has done you think maybe he does too. But with these things it's always a 50/50 chance. You either start dating and have a great relationship, or the friendship withers and you stop being best friends and that scared you. So you confide in Shoko and much to your surprise, you are the last person to know that he has liked you since the beginning.
Tumblr media
― a little bonus:
You find Satoru later that night, bringing up how you two promised to stay best friends forever no matter what when you were kids. He pulls himself upright from his bed after sensing the hint of seriousness in your voice and goes, "Yeah?" His heart nearly stops when you're silent for a moment from gathering your courage, and he most definitely wasn't prepared for the heartfelt confession that follows after.
Satoru's grinning like a complete idiot before trapping you in his arms for a tight embrace, "You had me worried there for a second, you know that? And here I thought you were never going to like me back!" When he retracts back slightly, his hands holding you firmly by the shoulders and azure eyes sparkling like sunlight over ocean waves. "Hey, can you say it again for me?"
Your cheeks flush slightly and you glance away from him. "I already told you I was going to say it only once. You should've listened the first time." He moves into your line of sight with puppy eyes, and you swear you weren't going to cave but Satoru's just too cute when he says please. After you tell him that you like him over and over again, he reciprocates tenfold before leaning down to kiss you softly on the lips 一 the most innocent kiss that made your mind go blank and feeling a little giddy and a lot of happiness.
He gently rests his forehead against yours and his hand moves to settle on your waist, the other taking your much smaller hand in his and rubbing small circles over your palm to keep him grounded. "You realize that if we start going out, it'd probably end with us getting married, right?"
"Yeah." Your smile widens, you knew Satoru was always part of your future but it's sweeter knowing that he'll be your companion for life if everything works out between you two like you hoped. You also knew your feelings didn't develop overnight and it was there all along but realizing and accepting them was startling.
"Is that okay with you?"
You nod slowly. "Yeah. And you?"
Satoru squeezes your hand and presses a kiss to your forehead, your nose, the corners of your mouth, then your pretty lips as you hold back your giggles. "You wanna know something? I can't think of anyone more perfect to spend the rest of my life with than you."

“Come back to bed.”
Tumblr media
Today, I present to you my interpretation of the lovely anonymous ask I received:
“Reader was super touch starved before they started dating and Cal is super touchy, and she loves it but also has trouble getting used it. But her favorite thing is when he rubs her back (comfort or just to be close) and it just becomes a thing for them??"
Again, lots of fluff, so enjoy!
___________
Touch… Such a simple thing. A sign of trust, a proof of friendship and a language of love all at the same time.
You’ve always had a strange relationship with the concept. On one hand, you feared it, on the other, you desired nothing more than to experience its effects. Thinking about it, your paradox connection to touch probably stemmed from your upbringing. Your mother had worked in one of the adult entertainment establishments of Nar Shadaa, with you growing up in this strange world of opposites.
Poor workers, rich clients. Big expectations, and crushed dreams. Honest touch and paid-for love. It all mixed together in this place, and you had watched it all from the kitchens where you were being kept while your mother served drinks to the various males that frequented the “The Pearl” every night.
Hugs were rare, as your mother wasn’t the type for it. She showed her affection in different ways, first and foremost by sending you away when you were old enough, thus saving you from a future in the establishment.
You attended a pilot academy and graduated among the top of your class. By that time, the Republic had fallen and the Empire was recruiting capable pilots left and right. Needless to say, the strict regime didn’t exactly encourage comradery and touch either.
And so you grew more and more hungry for it, while never quite knowing why.
You also hated working for the Empire. Payment was bad, the treatment of people horrendous and everything about it simply felt wrong.
It was by pure accident that you crossed paths with the rebels when one of them tried to pay you good credits to smuggle someone off-planet along with your booked cargo. You had agreed, mostly for the credits, to be honest, but eventually, helping people became a mission. A true purpose. Something fulfilling.
You also came to love one rebel in particular: Cal Kestis. You had run several missions for and with him until he eventually asked you to join his crew permanently. They could always use a good pilot, he argued. A good friend of his, Greeze, used to be the Captain of the impressive ship he used to get around, but the Latero had retired or was at least taking an extensive break.
And so your story with Cal had begun, quickly growing from allies to friends and eventually romantic partners. It had all happened so fast and your head still reeled from how the redhead had managed to worm his way into your heart. Never had you met anyone displaying such kindness, gentleness, patience and respect. It was impossible not to fall in love with him.
He taught you how to fight as well, organizing a metal staff for you after you turned out to be a rather poor shot. You two sparred regularly, with the Jedi putting his combat training into good use to teach you new tricks.
The crew around you changed constantly. Some left, some died, some joined you only for a specific job. But Cal, BD-1 and you were a constant on the Mantis. They were your family and the ship your home.
Often, you would sit awake long into the night, staring out into the galaxy passing you by and thinking about what your life would have been like if your mother hadn’t saved up every credit to send you away.
“Didn’t you say you’d join me in 10 minutes?”
You turned and found Cal leaning against the doorway leading to the cockpit. His hair was tousled and his eyes sleepy, but a small smile was playing on his lips, as he crossed his arms in front of his bare chest.
“That was three hours ago, love.”, he added when you sent him a confused look.
“Oh…”, was all you could say, not having realized how much time had passed. Getting lost in memories did that to you.
Stifling a yawn, Cal moved to drop into the Co-pilot seat, green eyes searching yours.
“Can’t sleep again?” His voice was full of sympathy as he reached out a hand to rest on your knee.
There it was again: touch.
Cal always reached for you. Whether it was for a hug or a kiss, to hold your hand, to just feel you near or to make sweet love with you. Every touch from his was special and you did your best to reciprocate. You still remembered the look of pure joy the first time you initiated a hug or gave him a kiss or reached for his hand on your own. It helped you greatly to open yourself to the kind of love language you had yearned for, yet still needed to grasp fully.
You stared at his hand on your knee and slowly placed yours on top of his.
“I was thinking about my mother… and everything she did to give me a good life.”
Cal nodded in understanding, but didn’t say anything, allowing you to unload your thoughts. He knew your past and had even volunteered to help your mom, but she had disappeared from “The Pearl” after your graduation with no sign of her to be found.
“She saved you. That’s love.”, he eventually spoke and you smiled.
“I wish I could have shown her more that I loved her.”, you sighed. You regretted that you hadn’t hugged her more on your own accord.
“I am sure that she knew.”, Cal assured you, ever the supportive voice for your conscience.
You smiled at him and nodded, before slipping from the pilot’s chair into his lap, arms sneaking around him. “I love you, Cal… And I want to show you every day.”, you muttered into his neck, as his arms came to rest around you.
“You do show me every day, Starlight.”, he whispered back, holding you close. “And I am so very grateful for it, because I love you as well. To the end of the Galaxy and back.”
For a while you just sat in silence, enjoying the proximity, Cal's hand drawing small circles on your lower back. It was your favourite, really, the gesture always helping you relax.
“Now come back to bed, love.”, the Jedi whispered eventually and you nodded, allowing him to carry you back into your room, where you both gave into desire.
Touch… Such a simple thing. A sign of trust, a proof of friendship and a language of love all at the same time.
You’ve always had a strange relationship with the concept. But you were ready to open your heart to it fully, as long as Cal was with you.

THE STORY
Music has always been a part of you.
You could hold a bow (violin/viola/cello) before you could hold a pencil. Unfortunately, life has catapulted you into a downward spiral. Your college band disintegrates. A close friendship goes up in flames. You’re doing nothing with your life. Death and a personal betrayal have left you bereft. You have never felt more worthless. Everything culminates on the night of your sister’s wedding when you drunkenly form a Faustian contract with the entity that haunts your apartment.
For better and for worse, you are now destined for greatness.
The devil has but one thing to ask in return: absolute domination. You are to conquer anything and everything through the power of good ol’ fashioned rock n’ roll. And you’re not alone. Armed with friends (new and old), a new band, and quite literal hellspawn to help, you are going to conquer the world.
Not because it’s what you want, but because failure is not an option.
Not for any of you.
CONTENT WARNINGS
Retroghouls is intended for mature 18+ audiences for dark topics including abuse, violence, explicit language and sexual content, and more.
FEATURES
Customize your MC from their physical appearance, personality, sexuality to their musical background (violin, viola, or cello), familial relationships, and more.
Choose your band’s concept and determine its overarching message. Is your group activist, a sex symbol, or a harbinger of destruction? Will you tell your fans that they’re not alone? Will you challenge them to persevere no matter what? Or will you encourage them to burn it all down?
Manage your newfound inspiration and the cornucopia of side effects that come with it.
Protect the anonymity of you and your bandmates.
Outwit a demon or two – if you play your cards right.
Romance a cast of troubled individuals.
Make objectively terrible decisions! Ruin lives! Or don’t. You will face the consequences of your actions either way.
ROMANTIC INTERESTS
Camille ‘Ilim’ Vaughan [she/her or he/him] is the drummer of your new group. Having been involved in the music industry for over a decade, they are a person who invokes a myriad of opinions. Both beloved and reviled, Ilim themselves operate in extremes. They make no effort to hide their agenda. So the question follows – what part will you play in the reckoning? [MORE]
Tuesday ‘Needle’ Nelson [he/him or she/her] is the bass of your band’s guitar trio. So, whether it is during concerts, midnight comp sessions, or just casual riffing at hq, they are always close by. Music has always been their one true love and so they’re determined to pour their blood, sweat, and tears into this project. Tuesday has very little else otherwise. [MORE]
Micky Monroe [she/her or he/him] You two took orchestra together in high school and haven’t given a passing thought towards one another since your graduation performance. Now, courtesy your prodigious manager, Micky & Archangels are the feature on your upcoming album. Once the album is done, you’ll surely fade from one another’s lives just like before. Both of you agree, it’ll be just like before. [MORE]
Jack/Jackie Graves [he/him or she/her] is the heart of your PR team, coordinating with managers, publicists, and social media specialists to ensure no unnecessary information about the band leaks. Your privacy is their bread and butter. Your security pays their bills. Don’t mistake their friendliness. Don’t mistake their kindness. It’s just common business to look out for one’s best interests.

Dante SFW Alphabet
Tumblr media
Rating: T
CW: None
A/N: Well while working on the fic I realized I needed something to help me nail down how I want Dante to react to certain things. So thanks to my lovely friend @jellys-compendium I decided to do a SFW & NSFW alphabet for the silly pizza man. So here's the first part and I hope you enjoy it!
Tumblr media
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Dante isn’t all that affectionate in platonic relationships. Well, when it comes to Nero he can’t help ruffle his hair or pushing his shoulders when they’re on a mission. He also doesn’t really show his affection when anyone else is around when it comes to the romantic side, he might get handsy but his actual affection is kept for when the two of you are alone. He just doesn’t want to verbalize that he knows Nero is his nephew when it opens up those scars. He shows his affection in small touches, like brushing your hair off your forehead. When it’s cold out, tighten your scarf just a bit closer to your skin before you leave the shop. Brushing his fingers along your knuckles when you sit on the couch and he’s sitting there beside you. The second anyone shows up? All that goes out the window and he’s back to being his walled off silly flirty man. 
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
As a best friend, he’s got your back no matter what and knows what you’re thinking almost at the exact moment it crosses your mind. He’s the kind of best friend that you can sit for hours talking about random things with while it seems like no time has passed at all. Just that kind of friend that is always there when you need it. Given how Dante likes to keep himself in his office most of the time the friendship would have to start with sadly demons being involved somehow. Either you having a problem with them and going to see him for it or being caught up in something you shouldn’t be and Dante saving your skin. 
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
Dante might not seem like it, but once he’s comfortable with you as a person and then in a relationship with him he is a cuddle bug. Like his affections, he cuddles in private but he enjoys the feeling of your smaller form wrapped in his arms tucked up against him, with your head over his heart. Feeling you returning the cuddles with your hands resting on his forearms tapping away a random pattern while his hands roam along your back. He also likes feeling your cooler skin against his since he’s always warm as a side effect of his demonic heritage. 
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Dante doesn’t want to settle down, while it’s a small wish deep inside of his heart he knows he can’t. Yet when even a sliver of it is offered he’s quick to hold on and enjoy those moments. Can he cook and clean? If you define cooking as letting pizza boxes grow mushrooms and their own ecosystems maybe. Dante orders Pizza for a reason and if he had access to it he’d totally eat kraft dinner, and not with milk. That’s too fancy for him. Instant noodles are his backup for pizza when Morrison cuts off his tab. As to cleaning? I direct you to the piles of pizza boxes growing mushrooms. Yet the lack of cleaning is planned to confuse people to make him think he’s a bit of a slob.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
Dante would be quick about it and cold as hell. “I’m done, you were fun for a while Doll but I’m bored.” Something to break your heart while he acted like he didn’t care in the slightest because he’d rather you walk out of his life crying and hating him while whatever part of his heart that you’d taken died with the door closing. It’d be to protect you from the life he leads but it’s for the best, so if having you hate him means you’ll never be in the crosshairs of someone or something after him then he can accept the pain.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Commitment itself? Once the relationship progresses to the point where he knows you aren’t running away from him and the dangers in his life that man is wrapped around your finger. His heart, body, and soul are yours, bad flirting and dramatic ass too. He would do anything for you and wants you in his life. As to getting married? That is not in the cards for him from the standpoint of official traditions. Or doing paperwork. Dante would tell you putting a piece of metal on his finger or signing paper doesn’t mean anything to him. It’s the fact he loves you the way he does and wants to spend the rest of his life with you and treasure you. He sees you as his partner without anything official because he doesn’t need it to know he’s yours and it’s the same for you. 
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Dante has his gentle moments but they are rare, with his general attitude he doesn’t see the need to be gentle on the physical level. When he is it’s a rare treat but he’s not out of his way to ever harm you, if anything it’s more like he doesn’t always know how to be gentle. What he thinks is a soft pat on your shoulder is actually strong enough to make you fall on your face if you aren’t prepared for it. Emotionally? He can be pretty damn closed off early in a friendship or relationship. As it grows deeper and he’s better at reading you he knows when you need him to drop his shields and walls and just reassure you with his words and to just be soft with you. 
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
This big silly pizza man, doesn’t like hugs. No, this silly man LOVES hugs, and not the soft ones where it’s a gentle caress, no he loves great big ass bear hugs that might crush your bones. Because if he’s hugging you, you’re someone he trusts so he doesn’t need to try and hold anything back when he does. The problem is most of those hugs aren’t shown to anyone because of how closed off he is, so be prepared once you get past that wall and there isn’t anyone around. Or if he wants to annoy you because he’ll put you in a bear hug if he knows it will get you riled up and feisty. But those bear hugs of his are also always so warm because he’s just warm and it’s just a nice feeling. 
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
It takes him a while to say it, but when he does it’s not some big romantic moment or anything. Which is par for the course since saying he loves someone means he is in deep and it paints a huge target on whoever it is. Yet his delivery the first time would be over something silly, like bringing him pizza after a hard day when he’s starving after just getting back to the shop to find you on his heels just behind him with a fresh pie in hand. “I love you, Doll.”
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
Dante does get jealous but not in a way that bothers him. As far as he’s concerned if you’re in a relationship with him to that point he doesn’t need to worry about it. That’s not to say he doesn’t find it annoying when anyone comments on how something should have bothered him, like a coworker claiming they need to walk you to the office and seeing Dante waiting for you. Sure Dante feels that churn in his stomach when others flirt with you and you laugh or flirt back a little but he knows nothing will ever come of it. He does get a sick kick out of seeing whoever is trying to woo you when he slides up behind or beside you and watching their face fall as you turn to look at him with a megawatt smile. Almost like he enjoys it when they realize they’ve got nothing on him because you only have eyes for him. 
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Dante’s kisses are as varied as his moods, ranging from sensual and heartwarming to domineering ones that leave you breathless and the kind that leaves your knees buckling from just how overpowering they are. If anything it’s the reflection of how he feels in that moment with you since he isn’t always the best with words. Dante likes to kiss any part of your skin he can find but if he had to pick one place as a favorite, he’d say it was your hands because to him your hands are so different from his. His that are rough from all the sword work he’s done over the years and when he looks at yours knowing they’ve never done anything like his. He finds something just so sensual and heartwarming when you kiss the edge of his jaw, almost like it’s a promise that you’ll be back later.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
Dante… is not good with children… at all. Like to the point that if one of them looks at him and starts crying he feels his whole being freezing. So when he sees them he flinches every time no matter how small of a reaction, and it’s something you come to catch when you see it the longer the two of you are together. However, the first time you meet Pattie and find out how old she was when she first met him, it clicks why he isn’t good with kids. Even more so when Trish and Lady tell you about the little blond that drove Dante nuts.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Sleeping. So much of Dante’s work is later in the day or into the night that the morning is when he sleeps or catches up on missing sleep. So if you want to spend the morning with him, you need to curl up in said bed with him. That’s if he made it to his bed and didn’t just crash on the couch. Another way that is a bit sneakier is if you roll into his kitchen and make breakfast, the smell of a home cooked meal with bacon tends to make the grumbly pizza man appear still half asleep and mumbling before dropping his head between your shoulder blades while you work away at the hot plate in the back room that makes up half of his kitchen. 
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
If Dante doesn’t have a mission on the go most nights he usually stays at his desk while you take up the couch, the two of you talking long through the night. Those nights you get to see him scowl when the office phone rings because while he might not say it he hates the interruptions to your conversations. Every once in a while on a rare occasions Dante will slide onto the couch with you, draping his arm over your shoulders and tugging you in close to him as the two of you swap stories about things you’ve seen and been through. But. If anyone shows up through the doors Dante is quick to dart away before they see him like that. He’d much rather spend the night with the two of you just talking then dealing with demons running amok. 
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Dante is slow to reveal things, even as your relationship moves forward and it’s not just because he’s closed off or has the walls up. He knows there are things about him that if you knew would put you in danger so he’s careful about what he does tell you. Yet he wants you to know all the important things about him and wars with how much to tell you. Some things are a lot easier than others like how much you mean to him and the effect being around has had on him. 
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
It’s interesting to look at Dante and his patience because really there’s two sides to it. The one where he pretends things get under his skin and acts like he’s pissed, like most of his interactions with Lady. It’s easy for him to make a show to give the appearance of having a short temper, another great diversion tactic from what he’s actually like. That being said there are real things that could grate on his nerves like threats to those he cares about and it takes a lot for that side of him to show. If he did have a true short temper like the one he sometimes shows he wouldn’t have made it this far. When it comes to him being in a relationship with you there’s a world of patiences as the two of you figure out your boundaries with one another. Just don’t shoot him in the head or he might start to treat you like Lady.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
As much as Dante pretends like he isn’t paying attention he knows every detail you say and everything about you. He knows every inch of your body, those eyes of his are sharp when it comes to the finer details. If he’s pressed for information he does act like he doesn’t know anything, but when it comes to you he remembers your preferences for food, drinks, colors, flowers, all of it. So when it’s a day that’s important to you he has your favorite ready, it’s take out, but it’s the thought that counts. 
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
Dante’s favorite moment is silly, when the two of you were making that transition from friend to dating. When you showed up at the office with the pizza he had ordered, expecting it to be the delivery guy and seeing you there instead. Laughing at him as you told him he did owe you that date he had promised and if he was too dense to figure out you were genuinely interested in him then you were gonna drive that point home. Even if you had to slap him in the face with said interest. You being so forward sits in his head as that point when he realized you weren’t just hanging out with him because of the bad luck that seemed to follow you. You actually wanted him, and that meant the world to him. 
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
This man is protective to the point it’s almost annoying, he knows you aren’t a fighter and he sees it once your relationship progresses so far as something he needs to do. Sort of like a duty as part of your relationship to keep you safe, which conflicts internally since he knows that you being in the relationship with him has also placed a larger target on your back. Some of his protection is of course his usual style of hack and slash when it comes to demons themselves that think you’re an easy target. Whenever certain humans that are remnants of a cult or similar start sniffing around Dante makes a show of following you at a distance, well a show where they can see him but you can’t see him. Dante doesn’t need you to protect him, but he would like you to not be defenseless if he can’t be there and tries to get you to be able to fight back somewhat. Not the same way as he would, more along the lines of being able to create an opening for you to get away from whatever might be after you.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
His everyday tasks are bare bones minimum effort, this man has one focus day to day and it’s trying to keep himself afloat with enough money to order pizza. So they don’t get much effort. Even as your relationship progresses that doesn’t change, he doesn’t put too much effort into dates either no matter where you’re at in the relationship. Dante isn’t much of a gift guy either, the idea of buying you something just for the sake of buying you something makes his head spin in confusion. He’d much rather show his affection in person with touches after a rough day. Now when it is something important that’s when he puts the effort into it, so when he does give you something, it holds a lot of meaning and he does spend days thinking about what he is going to give you. When it comes to your anniversary he spends the mouth before starting to think about what he wants to do to show you it means something to him. He even goes so far as to ask Kyrie for advice since of all the women he knows she’s the most practical and unlikely to tease him for it. 
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
As good looking as Dante his, he isn’t the most hygienic. After a mission coming back covered in grime and possibly demon blood he doesn’t care about getting cleaned up, sees it as part of the job. He looks good but he isn’t good at cleaning his body or his clothes, the real reason he gets a new leather coat every four years or so. Because it’s so covered in grime even he can’t stand the smell of it. You cringe every time he comes back from a mission and he leans closer and the smell of rot and copper floods your senses, waving your hand in front of your face and trying to shove him into a shower. 
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
Dante might not be vain but he knows he is good looking, it’s part of his charm and his taunting when he’s in a fight. He has the kind of looks however that takes very little effort for him to maintain and his life style seems to add to it. Like when he doesn’t shave for a few days and his stubble gets longer, of his hair a little shaggier, instead of taking away from his looks it seems to increase them. Which when others fawn over his rugged handsomeness you do find it a little annoying as your own jealously flares. At least until he sends you a wink during the fawning. 
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
As the relationship progresses Dante refuses to admit that you’ve become an integral part of his life and the thought of losing you makes him freeze. Because he’s at a point where he needs to figure out if he wants to keep going and accept the realization he needs you to feel whole, that for the first time since he lost his family as a child that you slot into that missing piece of him and it completes him. It’s a thought he doesn’t really enjoy having to dwell on, just how much you are the missing pieces of him that he didn’t know could be filled in. Pieces he thought would forever be lost to the void and tucked behind mental doors to never be seen. Its easier for him to accept that you don’t mean anything and lie to himself instead of admitting how deeply ingrained you are as a part of him now. 
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
Underneath all of his devil may care (I know bad pun) attitude and his taunting when in fights that makes it seem like Dante is a cocky uncaring slob deep down he feels like everything he does is never enough. That if he hadn’t been so scared as a child, maybe his mother wouldn’t have died, maybe he and Vergil wouldn’t have been separated. That if he had of just been more then maybe he wouldn’t feel so lonely when he has his nights alone, refusing to let anyone see that at his core he’s still that scared little boy. So when you come along and peel all those layers away from him he comes to realize he can be that person even for a little while and accept that you care about him even with that sense of self depreciation. 
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
Dante doesn’t like olives. That’s for certain. When it comes to people he doesn’t like them being clingy or needing a lot of attention. Essentially he likes his people to not be like a dog but more like a cat, instead of wanting to spend every second with him or wanting his attention he wants someone there when they feel like being there. He doesn’t want someone that wants his undivided attention 24/7, it’s too exhausting for him. He prefers when a person, be they a partner or not, is just there to spend time with him and either do their own thing while he does his or be off on their own. 
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
Dante is a bed hog and blanket thief. The worst of his blanket thieving is he doesn’t even want them after ten or fifteen minutes with how warm his skin is. So he steals them, wrapping them around his body, and they end up on the floor. Which is great when you want to press close to him as a personal furnace. The man, no matter how big the bed is, needs to sprawl, legs wide apart, arms stretched as far as they can. He’s a starfish flopped on a bed and while it is a pain it is kind of cute to see a small bit of drool when he’s truly passed out.

Hey, if the request are open and that you're okay with angst, can I ask the Diasomnia dorm loving a male or gn!reader that doesn't love them back ? The Reader is aromantic and just can't love.
Ignore it if you don't want to write ! And don't forget to have a good day.
Tumblr media
malleus draconia
he is slightly taken aback when you don't reciprocate his feelings. he tends to understand and interpret things wrongly- i mean, especially coming from humans. he wasn't expecting this, it also is understandably new to him as well. there just may have been a surprise like mentioned, he was a little saddened because when he feels, he feels strongly. but he doesn't actually find himself to really be all that upset about it soon after and understanding you better.
if anything, malleus would be quite content and satisfied if you didn't let his initial feelings get in the way of that. he would find himself just wanting you okay and you to be happy- even if that doesn't mean it's with him in a romantic sense. you've genuinely showed him and treated him with such kindness he thinks you deserve nothing but that as well. he will continue to be with you, even if its platonically.
lilia vanrouge
he never really confessed to you, because he already had some sense of understanding that you'll never reciprocate those feelings. lilia is observant-- so even if you don't mention it to him, he easily picks up on your feelings and generally who you are. never seemed to bring it up though, he only keeps note. now, lilia has lived for several hundred years, he's experienced many kinds of feelings, heartbreaks, and such- so though he does love hard at times he has learned to not take it completely to heart.
lilia would still continue to watch over you and cherish you as a friend and that only. though yes, his feelings may linger in him for a while, he is well aware that the emotions will pass... eventually. it doesn't stop him from hanging out with you, popping up randomly and surprising you at school to talk with you, inviting you to diasomnia for tea. he'll never erase the current relationship the two of you have over his own feelings, you're too dear to him.
silver
he is conflicted, when he first realizes that he is starting to fall for you, it hits him like a brick. he doesn't know how to handle these emotions since he's never had much of the opportunity to experience them. you're his friend, who he can't help but feel enamored by. silver always seem to have this troubled look on his face more and more as time goes on. he notices that you probably wouldn't feel the same way, it wasn't until you offhandedly mention something about it him in conversation. you two are close, so it felt natural to.
it was then he fully understood, so he never confessed to you. he would silently nod and listen as you talked. he keeps it to himself- even if he can't be with you like that, he wants to be by your side still. you're a good soul and he'll seem to never shake off the feelings of protectiveness over someone like you. he's more than willing to stay by you, even as a friend.
sebek zigvolt
when it comes to sebek dealing with his growing feelings for you, you either can tell it from a mile away or think he hates you from his mixed signals. when he confesses to you, its abrupt and loud out of his own nervousness, that eventually turns into uncharacteristically quiet and quieter. when you deny his feelings, he doesn't understand, only because at first, he interpreted it as you genuinely not liking who he is. that is until you begin to carefully explain why not.
sebek just like the rest of diasomnia, will still want some sort of friendship with you. though, it does take him a while to go through the feelings of rejection and handling these things- he doesn't want to let you go. he is a knight; he always has a sense of dedication.

Nikolai Lanstov SFW Alphabet
Tumblr media
*Not my GIF
Anonymous ask: the alphabet one, can you do a romantic SFW alphabet? Like how Nikolai would be in a relationship. If you have enough time (and you want to) can you also do the normal NSFW one as well? Like how Nikolai is as a physical lover?
Sorry for the wait anon, but here’s the SFW version. NSFW hopefully coming (pun fully intended 😉) in a day or two! This was my first time at one of these alphabet posts, I found the templates here on tumblr. It kind of goes without saying that these are just my head canons based on the books/Netflix show, and you are of course free to disagree with them😊
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?) - Nikolai is very affectionate, particularly with close friends and lovers. He didn’t get a lot of affection growing up, so he craves it as an adult. He always keeps things appropriate in front of other people, just hand holding and causal touches, but when you’re alone he can’t keep his hands off you -
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?) - Nikolai is a great friend, he’s warm and kind, and unfailingly loyal. He’s a bit of a joker, so his best friend needs to have a good sense of humour. Nikolai is willing to go to the ends of the earth to help his friends and would lay down his life for them without a second thought -
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?) - Nikolai definitely likes to cuddle, especially in bed, and he’s happy to be the big or the little spoon depending on what his partner prefers -
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?) - Nikolai wants to settle down eventually, he’s a bit of a wanderer but he longs for a family of his own. He’s always been neat and tidy, although growing up in the palace with servants meant he didn’t do much cooking or cleaning as a child, but years in the army/at sea mean he’s picked up at least some of the basics. He can probably make a meal out of very little, but whether it would be edible is up for debate -
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?) - Nikolai hates goodbyes, he’d rather not break up with a partner and for that reason he’d probably put it off as long as possible. He struggles with feelings of not being “enough” and puts a lot of pressure on himself to be a perfect prince, so if he were to end things then I think it would likely come from a place of thinking his partner “deserves better”. Nikolai wouldn’t want to draw things out, but he is a talker, and he would want to say the “right” thing, so for a breakup he’d have a speech planned ahead of time.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?) - Nikolai goes all in when it comes to commitment, and he’s no stranger to a hasty proposal. Once he’s found his one, he would see no reason to wait on getting married -
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?) - Nikolai is more than capable of being gentle both physically and emotionally. He puts on a front to the world - the tough privateer and the charming prince - but underneath all that, he’s just a boy wanting to be loved. Once he lets down his walls, he’s all soft touches and sweet words -
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?) - Nikolai is a big hugger. He’s not afraid to pull a friend in for a hug, either in greeting or as a way to offer comfort. He gives good hugs, the kind that make you feel warm and fuzzy -
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?) - Nikolai wears his heart on his sleeve, as soon as he knows he’s in love with you he’d have no problem saying it out loud -
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?) - Nikolai is a bit of a flirt himself so he’d be a total hypocrite if he got upset over his partner doing the same. That being said, he does get jealous occasionally - particularly if someone touches his partner in a less than casual way. He also won’t stand for anyone making his partner uncomfortable, so anyone pushing their luck will earn themselves a sharp word from him -
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?) - Nikolai is a fantastic kisser. He likes to kiss you as often as possible, just a peck on the lips in public, and a lot more sensual in private. He likes when you press a kiss to his temple especially if it’s combined with your fingers running through his hair, usually when you’re cuddling together -
L = Little ones (How are they around children?) - Nikolai is great with kids. He’s patient and kind, and he has endless energy to chase them around. His fun sense of humour makes him a hit, especially with the little ones. He wants children of his own someday, and he’d be a loving and attentive father, giving his kids all the affection he himself never got as a child -
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?) - He’s a busy man and an early riser, but on the rare morning he can sleep in he loves to cuddle with you and feed you breakfast in bed. Sometimes he wakes even earlier, just so he can admire your sleeping form in the light of the sunrise before he has to start his day -
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?) - Nikolai has trouble sleeping, he has a lot on his mind. His favourite time to talk is late at night, when you’re cuddled up in bed together and the rest of the world is safely shut out -
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?) - In some ways he’s an open book, but he also tends to spend a lot of his time trying to be whoever other people want him to be. He would be slow to really open up to you, but once he felt safe enough to actually drop the act and just be himself, he’d share everything with you -
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?) - Nikolai is generally a patient guy, he’s a smart strategist and knows the value of waiting to get what he really wants. Sometimes he can be impulsive and act rashly, usually when it comes to people he loves being put in harm’s way -
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?) - Nikolai pays attention to the tiny details and remembers them all. This is partly because of his people pleasing tendencies- the easiest way to be who people want you to be is to study them, work out what they like and then be that person - but it’s also because when he loves someone, he wants to know all of them. He wants to know everything about you, every little mundane detail is fascinating to him -
R = Remember (What is their favourite moment in your relationship?) - Nikolai’s favourite moment would be when you finally confessed your feeling for each other. It’s a moment he would hold onto in bad times, knowing that he loves you and you love him in return is such a big thing for him, he would never take that for granted -
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?) - Nikolai is very protective of the people he loves, and he would never want you in danger. He would lay down his life to protect you or any of his friends. Words of affirmation make him feel safe and loved -
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?) - Nikolai puts a lot of effort into dates, anniversaries etc. He’s a romantic at heart and very observant, so he’s a great gift giver too. Day to day, he’s very busy, but he’d still try his best to make you feel loved and appreciated -
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?) - A bad habit of Nikolai’s is getting lost in his projects, whether that’s saving Ravka or his newest invention. Even when his current fixation is completed, he’s straight on to the next one. His mind is always working a mile a minute, and he finds it hard to switch off or rest –
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?) - Nikolai looks good and he knows it too. He takes pride in his appearance and his clothes. It’s important to him that he look polished and put together, and it’s a kind of armour for him, an image he projects to the world -
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?) - Nikolai loves with his entire being, and once he’s found his true love, he wouldn’t feel whole without them. If you absolutely had to be parted for any length of time, he would give you a token to hold on to and if you gave him something in return, he would treasure it until he could be reunited with you -
X = Xtra (A random head canon for them.) - Nikolai is great at card tricks. He saw a magician as a child and was obsessed with figuring out the secrets behind his tricks. Once he learned them, he practiced for hours until he perfected the performance -
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?) - Nikolai has no time or patience for prejudice. He wants a united Ravka, where all its citizens can live happily and peacefully, and that includes Grisha. He values loyalty, and one thing he would not easily forgive from a partner is a betrayal -
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?) - Nikolai is a bit of an insomniac because he lives such a stressful life, but when he does fall asleep, he’s generally dead to the world for a few hours. However, he does talk in his sleep and has been known to sleepwalk from time to time -

Buddie fans are relentless (and it's a good thing)
Geez, I was not prepared for the rollercoaster of woe that comes from shipping a pair that is not canon (yet!).
I am not a new fan to the show, 9-1-1. I've loyally watched every week for years, cherished the members of the 118, cherished Buck and Eddie's special relationship. I just hadn't been involved in the fandom of it all up until recently. I was just a tv viewer. But being newer to interacting with the fandom, I admit that consuming social media about 911 and Buddie has thrown me for a bit of a loop. I keep seeing the same recycled tactics to argue why people who ship buddie are delusional and why buddie will "never happen". These arguments are off-putting and frankly quite poor. (I don't like to focus on the negative so this will be my only post dedicated to this.)
Argument One: "There's already a gay couple on the show." No kidding. The statement is problematic in and of itself; people don't go around limiting the number of straight couples on a show, do they? It's fantastic that we have a strong, integral gay couple in Hen and Karen, two beautiful and fabulous lesbians, that are vital to this show, but why can't there be more? One representation alone doesn't cover the spectrum of LGBTQ+ portrayals of different romantic dynamics.
Argument Two: "Why can't we have two guys be close without putting a romantic label on it? It's refreshing to see male friendship." Bro... Platonic male friendship is important (all friendship is). It's not all that uncommon, though. Male friendship is focused on a lot already in many shows. But two adult male friends discovering new aspects of their identify that shift their relationship with each other toward something romantic? That's the more refreshing take here; it's one that we don't get to see in media right now but should. Flip the script, 9-1-1.
Argument Three: "They weren't introduced as gay or bi-sexual. It would be too out of left field to go there now." Not true. The show has the creative freedom to explore this narrative and can do it plausibly. There is obviously a very large part of the 9-1-1 fandom that has already interpreted Buck and Eddie's story as having the potential to become romantic. The pair has many parallels to the other canon couples on the show. There are plenty of moments and scenes from prior seasons (post-tsunami with Christopher, the shooting, the Will, all of Eddie Diaz's fond gazes aimed at Buck, etc.) that can be referenced in future episodes via well-crafted montage/edit that will help shed light on any developing feelings from either or both Buck and Eddie. Besides, not allowing a relationship to evolve into something different just because it didn't start out that way? What kind of stunted outlook is that? We want a story about how individuals can question and explore their sexuality at any age. Heck, during the graveyard scene near the end of season 6, Buck and Eddie talked about how experiences have changed them. They're clearly still growing and changing as individuals. It is not a stretch for them to discover whatever they've been searching for this whole time is actually found in each other. ---- That's it from me on this. I'm going to try doing a better job of ignoring the negative talk out there. I hope all buddie fans stay positive too, and when they call us relentless, we take that as a good thing. I hope we all recognize and resect the other characters and ships of this wonderful, wonderful show of ours too! Most of all, I hope we respect each other.

V - SFW Alphabet
Tumblr media
Rating: T
Cw: none A/n: Here are some SFW thoughts on our poetic, melancholic, and edgy boy, V. This was a lot of fun and I was happy to show him some love.
V - NSFW Alphabet
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
V is selective with whom he shows his affection, whether it be platonic or romantic. V is not overtly affectionate overall, but he does show care and concern for the people that he deeply treasures. How V shows his affection is also subtle, but at the same time can be a little dorky and poetic. Scribbling you little poems and sticking them in places for you to find later, gently wrapping his fingers around yours whenever the two of you are standing close, staying up late with you into the night just so he can spend more time talking with you. These are the ways V shows his affections.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
V is one of those quiet best friends that you don't really know everything about, but still share that deep sense of trust with. He is that kind of best friend that you could simultaneously share deep conversations with or sit with him in silence for hours without it feeling awkward. The two of you just enjoy being in each other's presence. As for how a friendship with V would start, I think it would spark either due to similar interests, or there is something about you that V just finds alluring.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
V does like to cuddle, although you wouldn't find this out well into the relationship. V adores the feeling of your warm skin against his and the softness of your embrace. When V is comfortable with you, he's not at all shy about cuddling, and he will happily wrap you in his arms and pull you close whenever you ask. V also loves it when you cuddle him back. To him, the soothing feeling of your hands gently stoking up and down his back is sweeter than any prose.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
I imagine that V has secret little fantasies about settling down. While he doesn't often get much time to think about it, whenever he sees you happily engaging in one of your domestic chores or hobbies, he always gets that little pang of longing in his heart. Some nights he dreams about stealing you away to a place where he can have you all to himself. A place where it can just be the two of you peacefully living together. When it comes to household chores, I'm going to be totally honest, V is not really the best at these things. He's often aloof when it comes to chores and the man can't cook to save his life.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
V would be heartbroken, but in the end I think he would be straightforward about it. I don't imagine him abandoning a partner without saying something. Likely, V would pull you aside to tell you that his feelings have changed and that he's ending things. However, if he's doing it to protect you, I can see the breakup being very teary and messy. V would be so torn, but his willpower is formidable and if he's set his mind on protecting you, then that's exactly what he's going to do.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Oh this man is committed. Once V realizes that he loves you, that's it. His body, heart, and soul are yours. Whether or not that means he will share his life with you in the traditional sense, is another thing. Being who he is, there are many obstacles in the way, but that won't stop V from adoring you, even if it's from afar. As for marriage, I think that V isn't particularly one to jump into such a thing right away. He probably would only do it to make you happy. To V, the feelings he harbors for you in his heart are far purer and more powerful a reflection of how much he treasures you. I have to say though, he would write the most beautiful and tear jerking wedding vows.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
V is a gentle soul, both physically and emotionally. His touches feel like the cool summer breeze, his kisses are like velvet, and his voice is like the morning sun trickling in through curtains. Emotionally, V is quite introspective and sensitive towards both you and himself. V always seems to have a sixth sense about how you're feeling and will comfort you however he can when you need it.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
V is not really the biggest fan of hugs (except those coming from you of course). I wouldn't say that he outright hates them, but he feels awkward and doesn't really know how to feel or respond whenever he receives them from others. V's hugs are very soft and gentle. He's not one to wrap you in a lung splitting bear hug. Instead, he elects to gingerly wrap his arms around you and pull you into a comfortable embrace.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Saying those three little words "I love you" out loud takes V a very, very long time. V knows he has fallen in love with you long ago, but funnily enough even though he is lover of words, he can't seem to ever find the right time to say it aloud. Instead, V tells you that he loves you through his poetry. The breathtaking verses he writes in which he so tenderly and carefully illustrates the depths of his love for you, speaks more than those three words ever could.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
Jealousy is not an unknown beast to V. This man does have a tendency to get jealous of those who possess the qualities, relationships, or life he desires. However, being as introspective as V is, he does come to realize this about himself and so will strive to have it affect his actions as minimally as possible. If V were to ever get jealous over someone trying to steal your attention and/or affection from him, I can see V mostly being quiet about it. But that acidic bile will seep into his tone, the sharpness of his gaze, and the harshness of his words. Luckily, it usually only takes a comforting word from you to pull V out of it.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
V's kisses are as ever changing and moving as the clouds in the sky. Sometimes his kisses are soft and tender. Other times they are passionate and desperate. V's kisses are a mirror of the emotions in his heart, and while he can control his words and mannerisms for the most part, V finds he has a difficult time concealing how he really feels whenever he kisses you. That being said, V loves to kiss you. It's his favorite way of physically showing his affection towards you. With reverent lips V adorns your mouth, hands, throat, shoulders--every inch of you he can reach with worshipping kisses. As for where V likes to be kissed, he always melts whenever you kiss his cheek. There is just something so pure and loving about those kisses that makes his heart squeeze pleasantly in his chest.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
I'm going to be honest, I don't think that V is all that great around children. His solitary and more introverted nature makes him come across as standoffish and that doesn't always lend well to his interactions with young people. In addition, V can come across as unempathetic when a child is whining over something. However that being said, there is a rare breed of child that finds V's mysterious aura intriguing, and they will often seek him out just to talk with him or listen to him read. They are intrigued by him, and he in turn is intrigued by them. The way V's voice softens and the tiny little smile that pulls at his lips whenever he is around those particular little ones is one of the sweetest things you've ever seen.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
V is absolutely not a morning person. Rising with the dawn he does not. Typically, if you want to get V up in the early hours of the morning, you will have to roll him out of bed. That or bribe him with multitudes of kisses. If V had his way, he would spend every single day cuddling under the warm blankets with you until noon. The demons can wait.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
V's a night owl. He likes the quiet hours best, and finds the peaceful solitude of that time both inspiring and comforting. V enjoys spending nights relaxing with you. Lounging on the couch with you curled up in his arms as he reads you poetry. The nights he gets to spend with you like that are his favorites.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
V is guarded to a certain extent, but he also has a vulnerable side to him. V will keeps things about himself hidden at the start of any relationship he has, but once that bridge of trust has been built, he is surprisingly quick to open up. He genuinely wants to make meaningful connections with the people he cares about. In your relationship with him specifically, V started to open up to you once he realized that he could trust you with his feelings and fears.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
It takes effort to anger V...with a few exceptions. He maintains a cool calmness most of the time and he is very much of the "live and let live" mindset. However if finds himself facing something that reminds him of the trauma he has endured, or if you are harmed in anyway, V's anger erupts. With the help of his familiars, V will tear the target of his anger to pieces.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
Ohohoho. Listen. V remembers every single little absolute minute detail about you. Is there something that you mentioned in the briefest of passings 7 months ago? He'll remember it like it was yesterday. V adores you, and he is diligent in committing to memory the little details and intricacies that make you, you.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
V doesn't have a specific moment that he considers a favourite over others, because he treasures every single moment with you. V knows that he's not long for this world in his current state, so he savours every glance, every word, every touch, and every second that he gets to spend with you.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Very protective to say the least. V will put himself between you and harms way without a shred of doubt. The unfortunate thing is that V isn't exactly in the most ideal position to protect you from the powerful demonic threats that the two of you face. His body is decaying and he is vulnerable without the help of his familiars. This bothers him exceptionally. When it comes to himself being protected, V won't turn down help when he needs it. But he would be lying if he didn't say it burned him deep inside. In his heart, he feels he should be the one protecting you.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
V likes to put in effort into his gestures of affection. While he is not one for grandiose displays, V does very much enjoy showering you with small little tokens of his love for you each and every day. Slipping a flower between the pages of the book you were reading, going on a date to a place with beautiful scenery for the two of you to admire, leaving little love notes and poems for you to find, dancing with you to the melody of a sonata. V loves you above all things and he wants to make you feel cherished and appreciated.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
Unfortunately, V doesn't take very good care of himself. Lets be honest, his sleeping habits are terrible, he doesn't eat much or drink enough water, and he is continuously pushing himself to the brink of exhaustion. Thank goodness he at least bathes and is good in the hygiene department.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
I think V is vain to a certain extent. He does want to look good and charismatic (at least to your eyes). However, I should say that he's not so vain that V would sacrifice anything important for the sake of his looks.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
Without a doubt. V is a sentimental man. If you were to ever leave, he would feel like a part of himself left with you. A part that V knows he'll never recover so long as he is without you.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
Underneath the mysterious, edgy boy layer, V surprisingly has a dorky sense of humor. He often makes inside corny jokes with you and will reference them on occasion while in the company of others. V loves making you laugh with a private little joke the two of you share, and he is not in the least bit bothered with the confused glances the others send his way.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
I think that V is adverse to people who are extravagantly loud, brutish, and/or abrasive. People who have no moments of quiet, or who have no sense of appreciation for literature, music, and art. While V doesn't necessarily hate these personality types, he finds he doesn't have the energy to be around those kind of people for very long.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
As I indicated before, V has absolutely terrible sleeping habits. He typically doesn't sleep more than a few hours at a time, and when he does his sleep, he is quite restless. Nightmares are common, as is him jolting awake in the middle of the night covered in a cold sweat. Since sharing a bed with you however, V has found that being able to feel the warmth of your body beside his has helped to ease his mind considerably. And even if he has a bad night, V will ask you to help him make up for it by dozing with you through the mornings.

SFW Alphabet. My opinions and head canons based on pure fluffy boyfriend Joey. Honestly, we love to see it. 🥰
Tumblr media
A is for Affection: Affection is number one for Joe. He will show it personally and through materials. As much as he loves to give affection through time and himself, you'll always find you're receiving silly little gifts that maybe he's found in passing because they reminded him of you. One thing he tends to do is keep your flowers replenished at all times, stating that the brightness and beauty of them makes him think of you. B is for Best Friend: As well as your lover, Joe will be your number one bestie. Sharing in your rants and playing the bitchy part with you if you're venting about someone in your day that irritated or pissed you off. He loves to share in every thing that you do, whether it's joining you in your friendship group or you his, or just plainly sitting down, staying silent and listening to you.
C is for Cuddles: Big spoon. His total favourite. Joe loves nothing more than to have his arms wrapped around you, closing the space between your bodies and having one leg wedged between yours so he almost feels at one with you. His face will probably be pressed into your hair as well as you feel little kisses on the back of your head or giggles coming from behind you when you say something silly when you're half asleep, cosy and content. Sometimes if he's feeling needy, he'll use you as a pillow and have you cradle him like a baby.
D is for Domestic: You love it when Joe cooks for you. He's always conjuring up new ideas for meals and will do anything to make you a good hearty meal, getting you both to try new things, different cuisines and fine dine together in your own home. Joe can be quite the messy person to love with so you do tidy up after him often, but he soon makes up for it when he's giving you the puppy dog look and offering you the sweet treats he's baked in order to be forgiven.
E is for Ending: As much as nobody wants a sad ending to a relationship, if it were to be on the cards, it'd be a very adult conversation. There'd be none of the over text rubbish, it'd be a case of either talking it out or letting you down lightly, more for your benefit than his; after all if he's telling you the truth at least you may be able to get over it quicker.
F is for Fiancé: Joe's quite a slow burn in a relationship, a taking every day as it comes kind of person. But when he knows, he knows. In the back of his mind beknown to you, he's got a plan on how he'd propose, it'd be the most romantic thing in his own head but it'd take a while for him to sit, brainstorm and fully plan it without you knowing. He knows he wants to be with you for the rest of his life (he tells you every god damn day). It already shows the commitment.
G is for Gentle: Joe is a gentle soul unlike no other. On a bad day? He'll do everything he can to make you smile and laugh, even if it's him that's in the dog house. His soothing touches, like playing with your hair or tickling your arm or back, giving you massages after a long hard day just to make you feel better. It's the little surprises of you getting in and him running you a candle lit bath, a glass of wine settled on the corner and him running to show you what he'd done.
H is for Hugs: One of your most favourite things about him. No matter how he's doing it, Joe gives the most sensational hugs. His arms wrapped around you so tightly, little tight squeezes of plain reassurance every now and then, swaying from side to side if stood, his hand caressing your back by rubbing his fingers up and down your spine, giving you little forehead kisses and whispering sweet things in the most gentle tone which sends electricity flooding through you.
I is for I Love You: He would most likely be the first to say he loves you and every time he does is always like the first time. The butterflies can get too much not just from the purity of the words, but the meaning in his voice when he says them, always in direct contact, staring right at you, his brown eyes piercing through into your soul. When this man loves, he'll love hard and you'll know about it.
J is for Jealousy: You'll know when he's jealous, arms will folded, chest puffed out in a manly state trying to put an act on that he's not. When you ask him if he is, you'll get the bluntest reply of no. It's pretty much the only time he's quiet with you and you'll receive one word answers until he's over it. He's not too bothered about you having guy friends, but anymore than a simple hug and he's watching them like a hawk and believe you me, if he's up for the challenge (not that there is one) but he will make it known that you're his.
K is for Kisses: From the soft to the down right passionate, you can't get enough of Joe's kisses. He's not one for full public displays of affection but when you're alone, you'll receive kisses left right and centre. His lips feel undeniably fantastic when they're on yours. If you're busy doing something he'll interrupt you by tapping on your shoulder and puckering out his lips just so he can give you one. You'll always receive those cute forehead kisses whilst you cuddle, sometimes little ones on the tip of your nose and always in a morning when he's in a rush, a sloppy one planted right onto your cheek; running back for the occasional smooch before he's really got to go.
L is for Little Ones: There's no denying his whole demeanour changes when he's around children. His paternal instinct is insufferably adorable and he'll do anything to make a child smile, pulling silly faces at babies or seeing him pick them up to give them a hug. You get broody like crazy when you see interaction between him and children because he's just such a good father figure, you're always in talks of the future and having a family together and you know he'll be ultimately besotted by his own little one, spoiling them no end and making you fall in love with him further by the way he shows full devotion towards them.
M is for Morning: At first, he won't want to get up, he'll be snuggling up to you, burying his head into your neck and groaning at the sun light seeping through the curtains. By the time he's up and awake and if there's time, you'll have breakfast on the table by the time you've forced yourself out of bed. He's more of a morning person than you which infuriates you since he's most chaotic at that time of day, yet there's something about waking up to this man each morning and him giving you reason to start your day the right way.
N is for Night: Nights in are the best. He'll always have a make shift bed on the sofa on the go, plenty of pillows and blankets to be getting on with. The good snacks are in and home made cocktails are set upon the coffee table in front of you, he's either forcing you to watch his favourite movie for the hundredth million time or he's letting you handle the remote on the rare occasion. You'll always fall asleep on him and he won't mind, but you'll wake up to him looking down at you in full admiration, little giggles when he's telling you that you're snoring or making weird noises making you slightly embarrassed. When you're too tired, he'll carry you to bed in full princess mode before tucking you in as tight as a burrito as he likes to describe it; as small as it may be, he'll always wish you sweet dreams.
O is for Open: Joe is a private person through and through. He'll tell you little things first and will build up the more his trust and confidence in you builds. Knowing him it won't take long, especially after he's had a few drinks, more of his deep dark secrets are spilled during those moments and most of the time they're not really that dark, just things he wouldn't necessarily tell other people in passing.
P is for Patience: It takes a lot to piss Joe off. He'll take everything in his stride and be as patient as he can for so long. If he blows up on you, well then you know it's bad. But hopefully nothing would ever go that bad for him to kick off in that way. He's not really someone who tends to start an argument, but if he's got a point to make, he'll certainly finish it. You know that if he's in the wrong, he won't be stubborn about it and will apologise but will expect the same from you in return. Q is for Quizzes: It always surprises you that Joe remembers every tiny little detail that you tell him. He'll always say oh that one time you or I remember when you said. His memory as an actor serves him extremely well and it just shows that his listening skills are top tier because you'll never feel like he doesn't know you, in fact he probably will know you better eventually than you know yourself.
R is for Romance: When he wants to be, he can be overly romantic. Flowers and chocolates and wine type of boyfriend. Paying you compliments at every given chance, holding doors for you, taking you out, spending all his free time with you. No matter the occasion, he'll always have a reason to spoil you in that department.
S is for Security: He's extremely protective given the circumstance, always has been, always will be. If you're feeling anxious about something, he'll do everything in his power to make it better for you, even if he can't control the situation. Given that touch is for sure his love language, little squeezes of reassurance when he's holding your hand, soothing your back or just urging you on to do the best you can, you're definitely appreciative of the protection he aims to give you.
T is for Try: Joe's version of trying is always successful and he will go to extreme lengths to always try his best just for you. Efforts are given no matter what like on special occasions: birthdays, christmas, anniversaries etc. He'll give 110% in what he does for you only to make you happy, of course he expects the same in return but his number one priority is to see you happy and if trying does that, he will make it happen.
U is for Ugly: Bad habits? The word ugly? Joe? It doesn't exist to me. You must be kidding.
V is for Vanity: He always wants to look good for you and truth be told the man would like good wearing a bin liner. He cares about what he wears out in public and always likes to look good to make himself feel good. You love his sometimes questionable fashion sense, but when the man cleans up, he does it well and it makes your heart do back flips every single time you see it. Your favourite time is to see him in his lounging around clothes. It's the best version of Joe, his comfortable side not many people see and it makes him look extra soft.
W is for Whole: Would Joe feel incomplete without you? Hell yes. He likes to have you by his side at every attempt he can. He's always been one to rely on the people he loves and trusts and you are no exception to that handful of people. He loves the reassurance, he loves to know you're there for him and he loves to be loved. Giving is everything to Joe but he'll always be a needy little baby and require your time, presence and acceptance in everything he does.
X is for Xtra: I head canon that Joe would be the most fantastic photographer for you, getting you at all angles to get the perfect selfie of you. Sending a few of the shots secretly to himself so that he can just admire them when he's not with you, changing his lock screen weekly is a personal challenge he's set himself so that he's always got a new picture of you to look at. He never swipes off his camera roll because it's full of you and it makes his bad days better.
Y is for Yuck: Joe hates fussy eaters, disloyalty and deceitful people. And will not entertain a girlfriend that doesn't like physical affection. There I said it.
Z is for Zzz: No matter what, you'll always go to sleep cuddling. But when Joe finds turned away or in general moved away in your own sleeping habit, he'll be finding a way to touch you in one way or another. It's like you're his comfort blanket. He'll describe you as his own personal radiator in bed and it helps him sleep because you're always bringing him warmth. You'll know when he's back fast on though from the little humming sounds he makes when he starts to dream, you can't help but smile, hopefully he's dreaming all about you, that's usually the case.

gerri fields headcanons
really good with directions and navigation. when you go out together she’s always the one who has google maps on her phone telling you which train and bus tickets to buy etc
not the best with writing letters, but when writing songs for you, she’s incredibly well-spoken and really, really creative
when watching movies or shows with you, she’s always the most opinionated about infidelity or any other form of betrayal between partners or friends and has gone on several spiels about it while you’re watching with her. she has high standards set on friendships and close relationships and sees them as objective
would definitely help you move a couch into your new apartment (with help) and would also buy the most gorgeous lamp for your living room as a housewarming gift
is really fucking good at super mario kart because she’s had a long history with the game playing with her younger brother and cousins years ago. always chooses either luigi or koopa troopa. she’s good at a lot of board games too, and has beat you in battleship every time you play together
can be very anxious at times and initially feels ashamed and confused by her first panic attack. she considers herself to be a very laidback person who lets things happen as they naturally do, and isn’t completely educated on anxiety. by the time she has a panic attack in front of you due to a stressful situation that’s been eating at her for weeks, she tries her best to level her breathing and tells you that it’ll pass as it’s happened several times prior. you comfort her and have gerri understand that it’s completely normal and not anything to feel ashamed of, and especially that it doesn’t make her weak
has been wanting to get into repairing guitars and finds it really relaxing once she gets into repairing her own. you like to lay on her bed while she sits at her desk repairing some of the guitars from some other guitarists she’s met at local live music performances. i can vividly imagine quiet music playing in the background while you scroll through your phone with gerri sitting across the room at her desk with her hair up while she changes and tunes acoustic guitar strings and occasionally talking with each other or when you want to show her videos on your phone. that goes on for about two hours before gerri gets hungry and you go for a walk to get take out and watch a movie together back home
can be kind of unrealistic at times because she has such a hard time envisioning the future. even with small things like making plans for the following week or a few days away, she feels no urgency to plan and would always rather figure things out as they come, which can sometimes be frustrating as it makes it a little hard to make plans with her. it’s not because she’s lazy or purposefully difficult, but it’s just that gerri is so present-focused that it doesn’t come naturally to her to make any sort of long-term plans
but also, gerri can be a huge dreamer who can at times face difficulty focusing on reality. with some things, she can’t be bothered even trying to imagine a future because she’s just so unconcerned with things that don’t involve the present. but with things she’s passionate about, she can be incredibly idealistic while forgetting the reality of things. it’s admirable though, because gerri can sometimes talk for a very long time about the kind of life she wants to live away from home in an apartment of her own while continuing to play live music, to live in a nice place and can even plan down to the decor in her future living room, but can completely forget things like needing to work in order to be able to reach those things. but you love hearing her dreams and things she’s passionate about so much, and you always indulge in her idealism. she likes that about you too
similarly, gerri is a huge romantic. she loves with everything in her because she knows absolutely no restraint in romance and her dreams

The thing about stobin is that they only work as well as they do because Robin was originally supposed to be Steve’s love interest, rather than in spite of it.
Like, what do we love about them?
They’re each other’s best friend
They’re incredibly co-dependent
They can basically read each other’s minds
They’re together so often that you can essentially treat them as one entity
They have genuine moments of emotion
These are all things that are par for the course when it comes to writing romantic relationships. You see it with Jon and Nancy (though not quite to the same level, they don’t have the Stobin Mind Meld) where they’re also each other’s best and only friend, and they also do almost everything together, and most of their genuine moments of emotion are with each other or with family.
Stobin don’t have any family or friends, because Steve’s family just doesn’t exist for some reason, and Robin was introduced to fill his empty friend slot after the stoncy divorce. Robin doesn’t have any either, because why would they flesh out a backstory for Steve’s New Girlfriend when they need to spend all their screentime establishing a believable romance?
So what we end up with is the bones of a romance that they have to hastily cover with the skin of a friendship, and they’ve already laid all that groundwork so they can’t exactly start backpedaling now.
That’s why stobin are mostly comic relief when they’re allowed to be together in s4 btw, they genuinely don’t know what to do with them now bc they didn’t intend for their relationship to be platonic (surely there’s no interesting room for growth in a close platonic relationship, that would be silly). Steve still doesn’t have a love interest, which is catastrophic for a fan favourite main character (bc amatonormativity dictates that being single is a Bad Ending and they can’t give him a Bad Ending, he can’t be punished by the narrative when he’s supposed to be finished his redemption arc) which is why he was shoehorned back with Nancy (bc they didn’t have the space to add another character just to be his love interest). (Robin gets a hint of Vickie bc denying their only explicitly canon gay character a ‘happy ending’ (read: romantic relationship) is also Very Bad, both narratively and optics-wise)
Basically, if they’d started out with the intention of making Robin Steve’s friend rather than his girlfriend, well, for one she wouldn’t exist. But secondly they’d be a lot less close than they are now. They’d be more like what we see in s4: a comedy duo, except without the same level of emotion and intimacy behind all their interactions. They literally wouldn’t have been allowed to get that close, because the number one spot in Steve’s life would’ve been reserved for his girlfriend, because again: amatonormativity dictates your romantic partner is your first priority and your most important relationship. Robin got that spot through a miracle and some gay trickery, and I for one will always be grateful.
I’m probably not the first person to mention any of this, but I’ve been thinking a lot about platonic relationships in media recently, and a lot about stobin specifically. It’s kind of sad that one of the best examples of a close platonic relationship I can think of is just a romantic relationship in a wig, but I’ll take what I can get (and god I love them anyway).
