Ok no one asked but I've been tempted to make Jackie and Olivia stalien designs since I've been working on some new icons for the eternal gales stalien kiddos and it's been making me also think abt how disastrous it would be if they were in the same stalien society that the main cast are from because dear god would they either die instantly or make things so much worse. Even if they did get lucky enough to be able to be remotely near a position to found a stalien version of gravitas, no way in hell they'd be able to get far enough to even begin their own morally corrupt downfall before one of the other big companies forcibly assimilated gravitas into their own corporations and do the same shit but way WAY worse. Even if Jackie Was in a position to eventually climb the ladder enough to get to a more ceo position shed probably end up painting a target on her back way before she could get there, as her and Olivia's whole infinite power research would be very much unwanted by most of the ceo elders. Oh and Olivia would be fucked even beyond that because she's a biologist lol so at best she's going to be forced to drop every last one of her morals and barely scrape by
#rat rambles#oni posting#eternal gales#posts that will immediately isolate every last one of my followers rip the the recent oni followers sorry for the no context#anyways realistically olivia and jackie wouldnt be in positions of power just statistically and as such would be dead in their early 20s#well by their early 20s most dont make it that long#but assuming they ended up in jobs that sort of line up with their canon jobs theyd both likely be working at the convieor facility#aka where mason was supposed to work at and where dancer and helmet where both held as lil kids#and if you know anything abt that whole situation then you know that olivia and jackie are not winning in the job lottery here lol#now assuming that they stick to similar specialties olivia definitely has the more extreme shit to be stuck doing here since well. y'know.#but jackie might theoretically be able to luck out a bit and not be hands on in the surgons branch#she would probably still have to work with them but shed be more so in charge of collecting the data and deciding what to do with it#this means shed be more closely working with the twos boss for better or for worse#most likely for worse but yknow#olivia and jackie Could stand a chance at making it past the first culling checkpoint due to them being useful enough but thats a maybe#it mostly just depends on what direction they try to take their research and if it's smth their boss would take interest in#so less 'bettering society' and more 'making our lives specifically easier'#so no infinite power or at least not with any intent on wide scale application#if olivia could figure out the whole biolengineering thing somehow without ever having seen an animal then that could save her#one big issue that the facility is meant to be solving is the whole corpse crisis#aka stalien corpses dont rly decompose well especially without other wildlife to help#and as you might have been able to gleam there are a lot of corpses on these guys hands#so finding methods of body desposal is a big research point of the surgons branch#now ofc this research does indeed make more corpses but hey at least theyre smaller ones. iykyk.#anyways the main question for me when it comes to hypothetical jackie and olivia stalien designs is what color energy do they have#because usually I just go off eye color but they dont have canon eye colors so I could get more creative#also if I just go with my designs for them then theyd both just have red or yellow energy#which I could certainly work with but idk if I want either to be red and I dont want both to be yellow#plus red and yellow are technically both based in the same color energy anyways so it still feels unapealing#I could make jackie a pale purple or black varient and olivia a particularly dense yellow varient

Hey! I was wondering if you could write about one of the svt memberd being super good friends with the reader, like touchy. And everyone else is begging them to get together? 💛
Tumblr media Tumblr media
content: f2l!chan, afab reader, seungkwan is far too nosy and too involved for his own good, fluff, etc.
wc: 1485
a/n: i wrote about channie since i think the while friends to lovers thing fits him super well hehe i hope u enjoy <3
masterlist
you and chan had been good friends for a good while now. well, no. it had been further than a good while. you'd known each other since you were young children.
despite chan's life taking a very drastic turn very early on upon his decision to become an idol, the two of you remained friends regardless. your friendship was truly one for the books. to chan's parents you were considered part of the family, which allowed the two of you to spend almost every waking moment together.
this pattern followed you into adulthood, a time in which you somehow becoming even more attached to the hip. his packed idol schedule never really got in the way of your friendship since chan would always insist on having you tag along, allowing you to take the role of one of chan's personal staff members in order to keep you as close to him as he could. this resulted in your friendship extending onto the rest of the members, who had known you since chan had first joined the company, practically treating you like yet another member of their family due to your constant presence.
now, your friendship with chan was quite special. the two of you were the closest duo that any of the members had ever seen. if anyone thought that chan was touchy with any member of seventeen, they surely hadnt seen how touchy he was with you. his hands were never off you for too long, nor his eyes. he was in constant watch of you, dragging you away from his members if they ever dared steal you away. if chan had a hotel room booked for tour, you were sleeping in bed right beside him. if he was at dance practice, he was cuddling you on the hardwood floor during his breaks. the boy practically broke out in hives if you were not in his arms, and the same could be said about you.
this was something the members used to find endearing; with the operative words being 'used to.' when you were teenagers, they had all seen it as cute and innocent puppy love between two childhood friends. however, the expectation had been that by the time the two of you turned 20, you wouldve snapped out of it and realized your very clear feelings for each other. but contrary to their assumptions, the two of you were now on your 24th year of age and had yet to move past the label of friendship. the thought of the two of you uselessly repressing your feelings for each other had most of the members going insane (mostly seungkwan) by then, which was something a few members had recently started to make known to their youngest brother.
~
one of the first few times in which seungkwan chan's friends began to show their frustrations at his lack of action in making you his took place on a regular afternoon. seungkwan and chan were walking together into the halls of the hybe building, with seungkwan suddenly inquiring as to why he didn't just close the deal with you and made it official.
"i told you it's not like that! we're just friends, that's it", whined chan for the nth time that week.
"i dont buy it. neither of you has ever been in a long term relationship. you're just playing the long game for no reason. she likes you, just ask her out!", seungkwan began to get exasperated at the stupid obliviousness of his friend.
"we work too much, it's– we have no time for relationships."
"'we'? see! you come as a package deal. just date each other!"
"hyung, just drop it. it doesn't mean anything," he groaned before parting ways as chan went onto some individual schedule and seungkwan joined vernon to head over to do a live together.
"what was that about?", inquired an unsuspecting vernon.
"asked him about y/n again."
"ohhh. don't worry about it. they'll see it for themselves one day. it's too obvious."
"yeah. guess you're right."
~
another instance in which chan was yet again bullied over his lack of self-awareness of his relationship with you was only a few days later. mingyu and seungkwan had just happened to walk in on you and chan playing badminton in the practice room. chan was wrapped around you from behind, hands holding onto yours, guiding your movements as jun played on the other side of the net. you were a mess of giggles as the ridiculous scene played in front of seungkwan's eyes.
"why do you look so disgusted?", spoke up mingyu, noticing the scowl on seungkwan's face.
"he's just so– he's an idiot! that's the love of his life! can't he just ask her out?"
"hmm. you're right. don't worry too much about it. i mean, look at them. it's only a matter of time."
"they're wasting years they could've spent together. god, why is he so dumb?", he wondered out loud, only earning a chuckle from his friend as the two of them joined in on your game
~
the next and final time seungkwan felt the need to express his frustration at your stubbornness had been upon walking into the practice room to find the two of you cuddled up on the floor. cuddled up might've been too light a term, seeing as you were laying completely on top of him with your face buried into the crook of his neck. your arms were nowhere to be found as they were dug into chan's hoodie, likely holding onto his bare back.
seungkwan scoffed at the sight. his friend looked far too content to be cuddling with a platonic friend. you looked too content to be cuddling with a platonic friend. the domesticity of it made seungkwan sick (okay, maybe he was being dramatic, but the two of you were far too frustrating to him!), causing him to walk over to you with judgement in his features.
"really?", was the first word out of his mouth as he stood over the two of you.
"wha ..?", chan tilted his head in confusion.
"this is platonic?"
"hyung, not this again ...", he groaned out, burying his head on your neck for a change.
you began to groggily sit up, now sitting on chan's lap rather than laying on top of him, "what are you guys talking about?"
"you know! there's no way you dont," seungkwan squinted his eyes at you as an annoyed look made its way onto his face.
"what?"
chan unburied his head from your neck, "he keeps insisting i ask you out because he thinks the way we act around each other isn't entirely platonic an-"
seungkwan interrupted before he could finish.
"our friendship is platonic. you ... you're a couple that's just too scared to put the actual label on it. you're driving me insane. either go out or stop being all over each other at all times!"
chan groaned out at his friend yet again, dropping his head to your chest as he hugged you closer to him. he took a breath against your chest before lifting his head back up, shooting his friend a glare before speaking up again.
"fine," he then turned to look at you, "will you be my girlfriend?"
his tone of voice sounded fed up, making anyone think that he did not mean his words. you, however, still sleepy and not fully understanding the context of the situation, lit up immediately at his words.
"yes!", you grinned at him, ignoring the presence of seungkwan and any other member who was now paying attention at the scene seungkwan had formed.
chan had to do a double take, staring at seungkwan and then darting his eyes right back at you, "w– what? you like me back?!"
"'back!'", seungkwan exclaimed with a gasp, "i knew it!"
"kwannie, shut up," it was seungcheol interjecting this time. about five members were now invested in the scene in front of them.
"yeah, of course i do ... were you not being serious?", you seemed put off by all the attention, but still putting all your focus on chan, who was still holding onto you as his wide eyes bore into yours.
"yes! i mean no– yes, i was being serious! be my girlfriend? please? wait, no. i wanna do this in private. c'mon, baby, let's go," he rushed to get the two of you up, grabbing your hand as he led you out of the room in a hurry, huge grins glued to both your faces as you giggled at each other.
seungkwan was left standing there, completely flabbergasted at how quickly it had all unfolded. suddenly he felt a hand pat his shoulder and a voice speak right next to him.
"huh. guess you were right," it was hannie.
yeah. he was right. now he could finally have peace knowing he had been successful in matchmaking his most stubborn friend.
a/n: chan asking reader out was inspired by that one tiktok of the guy who asked his bff to be his gf on video but she didnt know he was recording and she was all like 'yes :D!!!!' n he was all like ':00 okay!!!' idk i just found it so cuteshsjos

cici's meditation guide 4 beginnerz <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
whether it's the void state or just guided meditations ; it seems like meditating is a pretty helpful thing to learn when wanting to shift/meditate. for some, they shift instantly and for others it helps them sleep better but noone ever really explains how to meditate so here's my attempt at a beginner's guide as someone who uses meditation 24/7 !
in my eyes, meditation is not only helpful for manifestation or shifting but is also just a good way to unwind after a really long day - it can be a bit scary if you aren't used to it so don't worry if you're a bit intimidated ~
as a disclaimer, i will say that meditation is all based on what works for you and what you can personally handle ! for some, they meditate for hours and for others they do 5 minute sessions - figure out what works for you and stick with it !
1. clearing your mind
this isn't a needed step but it's something that helped me a lot when i was first starting meditating and that's clearing your mind a bit before you start. you can listen to music or even watch a show, just relax a bit beforehand and don't think about anything that would cause you stress. my way of doing this is i usually write down what i want to achieve during the meditation first (am i shifting? am i just meditating to relax? am i planning on meditating and then sleeping afterwards?) and then listen to music to relax and address any thoughts or things that i feel like would distract me whilst meditating (ie : overdue assignments).
11. choosing ur method
do you like listening to music peacefully, can you focus well with it? — make a playlist of songs that you can meditate to. are you better at following instructions and can focus better on that? — find a guided meditation (personal tip ; go with a shorter one first that is just for the sake of meditation so you can get used to it). you can choose ambience, white noise or even just listen to nothing ! it's all based on what works for you ; if you don't know what works for you, test out different methods.
111. focus !!!
something that seems to be the hardest for most people is focusing, having to sit down or lay down in a position and focus can be a bit hard BUT one way of making it easier is some basic breathing exercises & i'm not talking about the ones where you hold your breathe for 20 seconds - i'm talking about the ones where you simply take deep breaths. spend as long as you wish, allowing yourself to relax until you feel like you're calm enough and then jump into what you're meditating for. for example , lets say you're meditating to manifest a day off school :
if you dont feel calm, take a few deep breaths until you feel a bit emptyheaded & allow yourself to get comfortable in that space (comfort is key !!!)
focus on wanting your day off & live in the end in whatever way you prefer (visualisation, affirmations etc) for as long as you wish !
you can drift away from your thoughts here and there and that's okay ! just don't panic and go back to focusing as you wish
remember that there's not one way of focusing , go with what vibes with you !
1111. don't think of time
now that you're focusing on what you're manifesting for, you may be thinking "how long has it been? am i on track?" — rather than worrying about the time, don't even think that time exists. allow yourself to live in a timeless space, it doesn't matter if it's been 5 minutes or 5 hours — time doesn't exist.
v. enjoy it
for whatever reason you're manifesting for, enjoy it. don't turn it into a stressful task, don't worry if you're doing it the "wrong" way — enjoy yourself & allow yourself to meditate. you cannot meditate wrong, so don't worry about that possibility and unwind.
EXTRA TIPS :
♡ if you're worrying about being disrupted during the meditation, meditate early in the morning/late at night
☆ scared of getting muscle cramps from lying down a certain way? do some stretches beforehand !
♡ struggle to be still for a set amount of time ? choose a repetitive motion and use that to replace being still (i personally rock side to side a lot, it won't make it harder for you to meditate)

bruised knuckles
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
 Jude x gender neutral!reader 
While it’s not that surprising that a last minute party invite leads to a fight, Jude carrying you out was a little bit of an overkill 
Word count - 1.5K+ 
Watch it - physical fight, pretentious male character, bruised knuckles mentioned like once. i am so unserious for writing this yall
—————
“That doesn’t make any sense though. “ You scoff idly playing with the rings adorning your fingers. Most gifts from Jude. 
Speaking of, He sits next to you on a sleek black couch. The both of you got dragged away to some party by his teammates on what could’ve been a lazy weekend at home. He got a call way too early than what was socially acceptable on a weekend, (it was 10 am), and was begged to come along. You were already getting up groaning at the whining coming from his phone. Blame it on being half asleep or unaware but you both mumbled a promise to be there and went back to bed. 
So here you are at a party hosted by god knows who in a now packed hotel, god knows where.
You know Jude doesn't like going to these. He calls them a poor excuse to show off and boost egos. You agree, it's all a ruse to see who can drop the most on champagne or bring the model with the most followers home. All just to have pixelated pictures of yourself blasted on social media 
You couldn’t even call it a party to be honest, there’s a crowd jumbling together in an attempt to dance and music blaring from somewhere. It's more of a bad linkedin meetup. Dim lighting flickering poorly and cups strewn carelessly on the floor. It’s lame and you can’t wait to leave. His teammates that dragged the two of you here have long since abandoned the two of you to do.., actually you have no idea what any of them are here for, nor do you care. 
You just continue to sip on your water and try to keep yourself entertained. It's not going very well. 
The guy you're in conversation with sits on an identical couch across from you rolls his eyes, “Of course you don’t understand. I don’t expect you to understand the complexity of such a topic. “
Judes been pretty silent this whole time, watching the exchange. He understands you prefer to handle things yourself and respects that fully. He won’t take that away just to tell someone off. Though the second you ask he doesn't have a problem getting in anyone's face. 
Now his hand moves to your thigh gently squeezing it, a warning to keep things in check for the night. He knows that you can get into more trouble than you care for sometimes. Spurring into action faster than you can actually process what you're doing. 
You dont want to give him anymore bad press but holy fuck is this guy youre talking to an ass hole. You don't even know how he spotted you in the almost pitch black room. He smiled and asked for a picture with the two of you, and had gotten agitated when you declined. 
“At least give me conversation.” He pleaded.
And so here you are. You regretted the choice about 20 minutes ago. 
Your eyes narrow as you clench your teeth. “Listen I don't care for pretty arguments on topics that are in my jurisdiction ”
The man, who’s name you long forgot, just shakes his head and takes a long drink from his red solo cup. 
“I seriously doubt that. You dress like that and expect anyone to take you seriously like come on. “ He snickers. 
Jude tenses next to you and you try your best to calm the both of you down. Jude isn't one to start fights per say but he's not 6’1 (give or take) for nothing. Reputation be damned. 
You breathe deeply trying to resist the urge to beat his ass right then and there. The cheap laser lights only make your head hurt. Jude rubs circles on your thigh, you settle for a quick response instead. 
“What I wear doesn’t mean shit. I look good. What the fuck you have going for you? “ 
“A diploma ?? I don’t think you have one of those do you.”
Your patience is wearing thin, knee bobbing up and down harshly as you try and focus your attention away from him.
Jude stands, gently nudging your shoulder. It's time to leave. And you agree. No worth entertaining this any longer.
Just as you stand, taking Judes outstretched arm with a smile, setting your cup down on the table.  You get one last retort that truly sends you reeling. 
“Oh yeah walk away,” he begins, using his cup to point at you both. When you dont reply he chooses to get up, following you around the table and back into the dance floor. 
“Let the money maker drag you away,” He yells, grabbing into your arm and yanking it back it almost knocks you off your feet“ So worthless compared to him you don't-”
You don’t let the man finish, rushing from your seat to slam him onto the floor. His drink splashes on your chest as you meet the slippery brown hardwood with a loud thud. Your body jerks with heavy force, ears ringing, but you don’t let up. Trapping his legs under your weight, one arm forcing his hands down while the other lands blows into his face. A crowd has gathered, you know that much, the bass that’s been shaking the floor has stopped as people are clamoring around to get a better look. 
That all fades in the next few moments, passing in a blur as the man under you tries desperately to get up with no avail. You're clawing at whatever you can reach, tufts of his hair in between your fists while he yells so harshly you think his voice is about to give out. 
He manages to land a kick haphazardly to your lower stomach, which makes you groan just enough for your grip to loosen and for him to begin to slip away.
Just as you get a good grip on him again you're lifted on the ground watching him skimper away, heaving deep breaths as he grips a couch arm rest. You thrash trying to slip away from the arms but you're caught all too soon. You're yelling at the man, spitting venom. Though the exact words are less clear at this point. 
When you walk out from the blaring lights, you have half the mind to realize you're in a familiar set of arms. Wrapped around to keep you steady, swinging you over their shoulders. Jude. 
The adrenaline rushes through you, blurring the party and its noise out of focus. You do realize you're heading down stairs and outside, the cool night air like a hotel AC on summer vacation, a little bit of an overkill. But it does good to bring you back to reality. 
“You're going to get quite the reputation if you keep this up. “ He sighs, amusement in his voice. 
You have half the mind to respond with a slap to his back. “Yeah well next time bitches need to know not to try me. A reputation wouldn’t even be that bad for me. Might be bad for you“ 
He pats your back gently and continues down the curb, softly setting you down when you reach your car. You lean against the passenger door, wiping the sweat off your face and checking for any major damage across your body. There are none, just bruising on your knuckles. Dude couldn’t even get one proper hit in. The aftermath of your actions sets in and you groan, rubbing your temples. 
Jude gives you a small smile, gently taking your hand in his. You look at him fondly, if it weren’t for him you really don’t know what you would do at this point.
“I'm sorry. This is going to be all over twitter in an hour fuck.” You apologize. 
“He deserved it. Doesn't matter what they say they weren't there.”
You shake your head, “i need to do better, this is just gonna come back to you. I guarantee you everyone was recording.”
“They can think and do what they want.”
“Jude…”
“No more talk of that. Are you okay? Did he hurt you?” taking your hands and giving then a once over.
“No baby. Im fine.”
“Thank god.”
“I'm really really sorry, love.” you mutter.
He fixes your outfit, gentle tucking and rearranging the fabric back into place. “I told you baby, it's really fine. He was disrespectful and passed the limit.”
“Do you think he'll press charges?”
“I'm not sure. But for now dont worry okay? I got you. He touches you first anyway”
“Okay,” you breath out. 
“Eduardo’s getting your stuff, he’s gonna be here in a sec. “ He tells you softly. 
You nod your head and lean onto his shoulder, “The carrying me out was a little bit of an overkill babe.” you play with the buttons on his shirt. Trying to find at least a little light in the situation. 
He snorts, “if I didn’t you would’ve mauled the guy.” 
You shrug in response. Maybe you should lay off parties for a while if they keep ending like this.

"Have I known you 20 seconds, or 20 years"
Tumblr media
In which the bridesmaid falls in love with the best man at her best friend's wedding.
Member~ Lee Chan x reader
Warnings~ slight cursing,love at first sight,both reader and chan are hopeless romantics, fast paced relationship. Very cliche lol
Word count~ 9.6k
YOU always enjoyed weddings, especially the part with the vows. Watching two people in love celebrate their love and join their lives and families as one was something that brought you joy.
Your bestfriend, her fiance and you had met up on a few occassions to get to know eachother. Sometimes he would bring his friends too, secretly in hopes to set you up together but it ended up with both you being friends. He had 12 close friends so your bestfriend was secretly hoping for you to fall in love with one of them. But sadly you hadn't met the one till now.
You were done getting ready so you decided to spend the remaining time sitting by your bestfriend as she got ready for her big day, in case she needs help.
"You look so pretty today, if seokmin doesn't shed a tear when he sees you, he ain't the man" You joke slightly making her giggle. "He will surely cry, maybe more than I will" Seeing her happy made you smile.
"Well let me know if you need anything"
You were more than glad to be there with her instead of greeting and socializing with the people outside as you barely knew anyone but as she had forced you out the room saying her mom was there to help her and instead you should socialize and meet new people because in her exact words 'maybe you will find your man in the crowd' whatever that meant.
-
You straightened out your dress once more before walking out where the tables were set up. Your bestfriend loved the ocean and wanted a beach wedding so you decided to take a drink and go enjoy the view of the jeju beaches. As you reached closer to the shore, you took off your heels and set them aside as you walked a little bit closer to the water until the cool waves hit your feet.
You sipped quietly on your iced apple juice as it was too early to drink for you. The sound of the ocean waves and the chattering of the people had gotten distant as you were lost in your head.
It wasn't soon when you were startled by the presence of someone walking right beside you, you looked to your side and met eyes with one of the most gorgeous men you've seen. "Hi, I'm chan, it's nice to meet you" he smiled.
His attire was perfectly fitting to his body and it seemed as if he shined brighter than the rose in the front pocket of his well tailored suit jacket.
You introduced yourself, returning his smile hoping he wouldn't notice how flustered you were under his presence. "I am close friends with seokmin, and, the best man!" his eyes seemed to glisten while talking about his friend. At first you were against the idea of dating seokmin's friend but right now, that idea wasn't sounding that bad.
"It's nice to meet you" you extended your hands out for a friendly handshake but cursed at yourself mentally as you were making things awkward. As soon his hands touched yours, sparks flew. As cliche as it sounded, it didn't matter to you right now because you were experiencing one of the most cliche tropes in a romance book, Love at first sight.
"What's a pretty girl like you doing here all alone?" He asked.
"Do you ask that to every girl you see?creep" you joked slightly
"Well, no. It's not everyday that I go to my best friend's wedding and meet a pretty girl like you" he smiled slightly.
"Oh well im flattered you think I'm pretty when I'm sure every single female in here would love to have you for themselves"
"I dont care about the others, not when I have you here" he didn't even leave a second between your words as he answered quickly.
You didn't know him for long but his eyes told you his words were sincere. You were ready to risk everything and anything for him and no matter how stupid it was, you didn't care. You didn't cars as long as he was here with you. But you would never say that out loud.
"Why are you standing here all alone? Why don't you come over at our table, I'll introduce you to the others" his smile made him look more handsome. The way his eyes crinkled, you could stare at him all day. But that has to be put aside for now. He helped you wear your heels.
-
You had already met seungkwan, vernon, seungcheol and jeonghan and were curious to meet the others and not to mention, you wanted to get to know chan better so you decided to take him up on the offer.
He hadn't left your hands after your handshake and carried you to the table, leading you with your hands. He walked you to a huge table where 11 guys were sitting and some of them with girls, you assumed to be their girlfriends.
He pulled out a chair for you and sat at the empty one right beside it. There was a girl sitting beside you who introduced herself as kwon soomin, soonyoung's wife. Everyone except seungkwan, vernon and Jun had wives or girlfriends- soon to be their wives. They all looked like a big happy family.
You introduced yourself to everyone, with a soft smile on your face. You were feeling slightly nervous with so many eyes on you and especially, his. You could feel his stare and how intense it was.
Gosh you were so pretty, he could get lost in your eyes. He wondered if you were as smitten for him as he was for you. He hoped that your heart was also beating as fast as his was.
-
"Dino, I asked you to get me drink but it seems like you got a little distracted" seungcheol joked. "Ahh shit! I forgot. But it's not my fault, it's not like I meet someone like her everyday" you blushed at his words but you couldn't let others see that so you took a sip of the apple juice from earlier. All the ice had melted already and only a little was left in the glass.
Chan noticed. "Let me refill that for you, love" without waiting for a reply, he left taking your glass from your hands and leaving the table. Gosh that nickname had you weak in the knees.
"You've already gotten him all swooned for you, I can already see how your marriage is going to be like" soonyoung joked, causing some to giggle.
"How could you say that, we don't even know if she likes him or not" she slapped her husband in his arm playfully and turned to you, "do you?" She asked raising her eyebrows. "I..." You smiled slightly not knowing what to say but before she could say anything about it, dino had come back. He handed you your drink and sat down. "What are you guys talking about" he asked. "Oh just how You and her's marriage would look like" and once again the sound of giggles took over.
It had been some time, we chatted and got to know each other more as we played an impromptu never have I ever with our drinks as we waited for the bride to enter. As it was time to, we took our places at the altar. You were standing right by the bride and in front of the bestman of the wedding, dino.
The wedding was absolutely gorgeous and during the vows, you might have shed a little tears. Throughout all of it, the constant eye contact and knowing smiles between you and dino wouldn't fail to cause butterflies in both of your stomachs.
After the wedding, the couple had their first dance as we all stood apart. You walked over to the side as dino soon took the space by your side. "You looked so pretty up there, I didnt know you could get any prettier" you smiled at his words. "You surely know your way with flattery, don't you" you nudged him slightly by the shoulders . "I am just complementing my girl" "your girl?" "Aren't you?" "You haven't asked me yet and how are you so sure I'd say yes" "well, will you say no?" "You'll find out when you ask"
As the newly wedded couples finished their dance, it was now open for others to dance. A lot of couples went on the stage and danced hand in hand to the slow music. "Wanna dance?" "I am not that good at dancing-" "Just trust me, you do right?" He put his hands out, for you to take. You took it gladly with a smile, "I do"
He put his hands around your waist and you put yours on his shoulder. "You surprisingly do know how to dance" you nodded your head as a sign of showing how impressed you were. "I am full of surprises, just wait and see for yourself" he smirked. "Oh are you now?" You smiled.
"What?I can't hear you over the music" and with that said he pulled me closer, so close you could smell his cologne, from his neck. So close you could feel his breath on your face. So close you could feel the connection between each other and you know he did too. Your heart was beating fast, so fast you wondered if he could hear it, feel it.
"Do you wanna go somewhere..quiter" he said. "My feet are a bit tired of dancing, so yes" He took you by your hands to a secluded part of the beach away from the crowd and the music.
-
"So.. How long are you gonna stay here after the wedding" he asked as his hands were still in mine as we sat down on some big rocks near the shore. "I am staying for another two days. You?" "Oh me too, the group and I have planned to roam around Jeju Island for the next two days" You wondered slightly how this seemingly abnormal coincidence happened in the first place and then it hit you how maybe all of this was planned.
your stay for another two days was done by your best friend who forced you to stay longer and explore jeju Island, saying how you won't get a chance like this again. As you did need a break, you agreed and it was her who booked everything for the two days, saying it was a treat for helping her with the wedding.
" You should join us, I'm sure the others won't mind" He suggested. "What about you" "what about me?" "Would you mind?"
"I'd be the happiest to have your company with us" he looked at you and smiled. "This may be too early but I want to say this". He paused as he turned completely towards you. You didn't realise how close you were sitting until this moment.
"Will you go out with me? I want to ask you to be mine already but I'd prefer you get to know me first, I don't want this to be too soon for you" you smiled, "Too soon? I've already fallen for you, and what's the point of waiting when I already know what the answer is going to be? It's a yes"
He seemed surprised by your answer. "A yes to being mine or the date?" He asked. You smiled but this time instead of answering, you pulled him closer by his neck and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. You soon broke it off, not sure how he'd reciprocate it. But you got your answer as soon as you broke the contract of your sweet kiss, he pulled you closer, this time deepening the kiss and making it longer.
When you finally broke apart, you both were a smiling mess. You just stared at each other, eyes crinkled with huge smiles on your faces. "The way you make me the happiest person on earth, makes me never wanna let you go, and I promise I never will" He said. "As much as I wanna stay here with you, we should probably go back to the wedding, they might be wondering where we are" You said, getting up from the stone. "Oh yeah!" It was as if he finally realised where he was.
-
You both walked hands in hands back to the table where everyone was sitting but now the bride and groom were sitting at the table too.
"Looks like someone had a little too much fun " maybe your messy hair and deep in love smiles must have given it away.
"Congratulations on your wedding!" you hugged both seokmin and your bestfriend. "Thank you", seokmin smiled, his smile was brighter than the sun could ever be. " but I can't help but wonder" seokmin said, "when's your wedding?" We both glanced at each other and giggled.
Looking at your intertwined hands and his face as he laughed and joked around with his brothers and now your good friends too, you couldn't help but wonder, 'have I known him 20 seconds, or 20 years"
How stupid is love at first sight. How stupid is falling in love with someone without even knowing who that someone is truly. If someone told Chan he would find love at his best friend's wedding, he'd laugh. If someone told you, youd find love at your best friend's wedding, you'd laugh at how dumb that sounded. How stupid were you to even think so, because when with him, even love at first sight felt real.
There he was, your lover.

pov: layla
I didn't want to go to school but I despised being home even more right now. My father and I had gotten in yet another screaming match the night before and I was sure it would continue through the day if I didn't leave the house. I managed to drag myself out of bed, trying to make myself look somewhat presentable today. I usually didn't care what I looked like at school but in order to make myself feel better, I decided it was a good idea to dress a little more presentable.
I entered the school grounds, glad I decided it was a good idea to put it in a high ponytail to avoid my hair being blown in my face by the wind. I hummed along to the music in my headphones, ignoring people's usual stares as I kept my head down to the ground to make sure there was no black ice as I walked quickly.
I felt a pair of hands nip at my hips from behind causing me to yelp, spinning around quickly and taking a headphone out only to see it was Matt with a smirk on his lips.
"Hey pretty girl," he looked down at me and I shoved his chest back, pausing my music and pulling my other headphone out of my ear.
"Hi jackass," I rolled my eyes, pulling my long sleeve white t-shirt down that was under my leather jacket. It was then that I noticed Matt and I had similar outfits on. He with a plain white shirt and a letterman jacket as well as blue jeans and his usual white air forces while I wore my long-sleeved white shirt, leather jacket, black jeans and ratty white Converses.
"Oh come on. Don't be like that," he wrapped his arm around my shoulders as he pulled me towards his car where Allie, Chris, Nate and Nick were standing.
"You guys are here awfully early," I furrowed my eyebrows as we approached them.
"No thanks to Matt," Chris grumbled as he leaned on the hood of his car, laying his head on Allie's shoulder as he looked at me tiredly.
"Do you all go in the same car?" I asked, confusion covering my face and Nate shook his head.
"Usually I drive Allie here but Matt offered to pick us up today," Nate explained and I nodded, chewing on my lip as Allie smiled at me.
"Cute outfit," she beamed and I smiled at her with a shrug, Matt's arm around my shoulders restricting the movement.
"Thanks. I wanted to put in a little effort today," I explained and she nodded, a knowing smile on her lips as he glanced between Matt and I.
"Is Mia coming later?" Nick asked Matt and he sighed, running a hand over his face.
"Yeah she insisted she had to go," Matt said, an unimpressed tone underlying his words and my eyebrows furrowed.
"What's later?" I asked, not wanting to sound too intrusive but I was curious as to what they were talking about.
"Movie night at our house," Nick responded, a smile now on his lips and I nodded, pursing my lips, "You should come."
My eyebrows shot up in surprise when the words fell from his mouth, Nick being the last person I would've expected to invite me but I mumbled, "I don't know if Mia would want me to."
"What would Mia not want?" I heard a voice behind me and everyone turned their heads to look at Mia who looked like she was freezing her ass off in her cheer uniform.
At least Allie had the brains to wear a jacket and tights.
"Layla's coming tonight," Matt deadpanned, voice unwavering and Mia raised her eyebrows. She tried not to let it show on her face that she hated that idea by nodding but I could tell she wasn't impressed.
"Great," she mumbled, moving to stand between Matt and Nate, her eyes glancing at Matt's arm around my shoulders.
"What kinda movies are we talking about here?" I asked, turning my attention back to Nick since he was the one who invited me.
"Horror!" Nate raised his voice and everyone groaned but I shrugged, giving him a downturned smile.
"I could get with that," I smiled at him and he held his hand low for me to give him a low-five which I quickly reciprocated.
"What kind of horror?" Mia asked, eyebrows furrowed in worry and I looked at Nate who shrugged.
"Depends how scared you wanna be," he smiled at me, mischief in his face.
"Have you guys seen Hereditary?" I asked and everyone except Nate shook their heads.
"Perfect! Hereditary it is," he nodded and I pursed my lips to hide my smile as Nate smiled at me. I let out a small chuckle before nodding.
+++
The rest of the day flew by, Matt and Chris once again sitting next to me in English and Allie pairing up with me in gym, earning a glare from Mia. I decided to ditch them at lunch, needing time for myself outside to have a cigarette as I debated whether or not it was a good idea to join them for a movie night.
I decided it wouldn't hurt so once Allie, Mia and I finished gym, we walked straight to Matt's car where the boys stood waiting. From a distance, I could see Chris and Nate were fake fighting each other making me shake my head as we approached them.
"I didn't know you had tattoos," Nick's surprised face met mine as he looked down at my thighs where a few black tattoos were exposed from my gym shorts.
"Yeah I have more on my arms," I shrugged and he smiled, nodding his head with an impressed look.
"Alright, let's go!" Matt announced as he jumped in the driver's seat. Chris jumped in the passenger seat, Nick behind Matt and Nate behind Chris. Mia hopped in next sitting behind Nate and Mia climbed in to sit next to her, the only seat being left was beside Mia and behind Nick.
I was thankful Mia and Allie were both smaller than me and I could fit in the back with them with my long limbs. Matt made sure we were all buckled in before he pulled out of the parking lot, Chris playing his usual trap music on the aux.
"For the record," Allie leaned over to talk to me quietly, "I like when you're on aux more."
I smiled at her with a roll of my eyes, dismissing her statement with a wave of my hand. A few minutes passed as I looked out at the small window of the backseat, noticing we were going into a nicer part of the state.
"Chris, can you put something better on?" Allie groaned and Chris turned around giving her an unimpressed look as he turned the music down.
"And what would you suggest Al?" he asked her, sarcasm in his words and she smiled sweetly at him.
"Harry Styles," she nodded and he groaned, falling back into his seat before I heard the familiar sound of the intro to Fine Line by Harry Styles started to play.
I picked up quickly that Chris had a soft spot for Allie and I can't say I blame him. She looked like she wouldn't hurt a fly even if she won a million dollars for it.
By the time the song came to an end, we pulled up to the two-story house that looked exponentially nicer than my own. Nick and Nate climbed out of the car before I got out, Allie behind me and then Mia. Once we all had our belongings and the doors were closed, Matt locked the car and we made our way inside the house.
I followed behind everyone since they all seemed familiar with the house. I made a mental map in my head of how to get back to the school in case I wanted to leave. We entered the large living area, Nate throwing himself on the three-seater couch and Chris rolled his eyes.
"I'll get the snacks," Chris said before walking out the door to where I could see the kitchen.
"I'll get blankets and pillows," Nick announced before running up the stairs and Nate grabbed the remote beside his head, turning the TV on.
"Nate you're taking up the whole fucking couch," Mia deadpanned and with a groan, Nate sat up. Mia placed herself on one end of the couch as Matt sat down beside her.
"That's where Nick sits so you can sit with me and Chris on the floor," Allie explained, pointing to the armchair that was to Mia's left and I nodded.
She placed herself on the carpet in front of Mia, leaning back onto the couch as Mia crossed her legs. I placed myself beside Allie, Matt sitting behind me. I leaned forward, not sure if he was okay with me leaning on the couch between his legs.
Chris returned with both arms full of snacks, placing them on the floor in front of me before saying, "Drinks?"
"Pepsi!" Allie beamed and he nodded, turning his attention to me,
"Uh, the same is fine," I gave him a half-hearted smile and he once again nodded.
Nate asked for a water, Matt a root beer and Mia also got water. Nick called from the top of the stairs, "Lemonade!"
Chris recounted the drinks in his head before walking back to the kitchen. Suddenly I felt something land on my head and it covered my face, realising it was a blanket.
"Nick!" I heard Matt say in an annoyed tone before the blanket was pulled off of my head. I leaned my head backwards to see Nick standing behind the couch with an apologetic look and Matt shaking his head looking down at me. There were two blankets, one for Nate, Matt and Mia and one for Allie, Chris and I. There was already a small blanket where Nick was going to sit so he didn't bother bringing another down for himself.
"You want the pillow?" Matt asked and I shrugged. He placed the pillow between his feet against the couch before he grabbed my shoulders, pulling me back so my back was resting against the couch between his legs, the pillow resting behind my lower back.
Nick rounded the couch, getting himself situated in his chair as Chris returned with the drinks. He handed them out one by one and I mumbled a small thank you, earning a smile from him. Allie handed some of the snacks to Mia and threw a bag of popcorn to Nick, leaving a bag of popcorn and Skittles for her, Chris and I to share.
"We all good?" Nate asked as Chris sat down next to me, his shoulder barely touching mine as he pulled the blanket towards him a little more. There was a chorus of agreements before Nate clicked play on the movie.
+++
Halfway through the movie and I had both Chris and Allie clinging onto me in fear. I had slid down slightly so my head was tilted back onto the couch and Matt hadn't moved his legs from around me once. I looked over to see Nick hiding behind his blanket and tilted my head back to see Mia clinging to Matt, hiding her face in his shoulder as he looked at the TV in dread.
Nate and I seemed to be the only ones not affected by the movie and I assumed he had also seen it before. I tilted my head back to the screen as Allie flinched against me.
"Why did you suggest this fucking movie?" Chris mumbled as he gripped my forearm with two hands and I giggled to myself.
"Because it's fun to watch everyone's reactions," I whispered back to him and he shook his head before he placed it on my shoulder making me smile to myself.
I felt something pull on my hair and I tilted my head back to see Matt still staring at the screen while his fingers fiddled with the ends of my hair. He glanced down at me before he looked down at his hands, letting go of my hair before giving me an apologetic smile.
"Wait, I need to pee," Mia suddenly announced and Nate paused the movie as Allie leaned forward, letting go of my arm to let Mia out from behind her. Mia quickly got up, jogging down the hallway and zipping into the bathroom. I lifted my arm up that Allie was no longer holding onto, flipping my ponytail back so it was lying on Matt's thigh.
Chris was still leaning against me, his weight fully on me as he let go of my arm with one hand to get his phone that was on the floor beside him. I didn't look at his phone but he pulled it away from his face, extending his arm out making me look at the phone and I realised he had his Snapchat open to take a photo.
I poked my tongue out of the corner of my mouth with my eyebrows raised as Nate held a thumbs up in the air, Allie leaning over and pouting her lips as she placed her head under my chin while Matt smiled toothily. Chris took the photo before saving it and pulled the phone back towards his face.
"Okay!" Mia appeared again as she flopped onto the couch, "We're good."
Nate played the movie again and Allie resumed her position of gripping onto my arm as Chris put his phone down. I once again felt small tugs on the end of my hair and I bit my lip to hide my smile even though I knew no one would notice since it was quite dark in the room, the only light being emitted from the TV.
As the movie continued, I snacked on some Skittles and Matt continued to play with the ends of my hair while Chris and Allie hid their faces in my shoulder at various moments. I heard shrieks of fear emit from Nick and Mia throughout the rest of the movie before the credits played and Allie let out a breath of relief.
"That was the worst movie I've ever watched," Nick stated, his unimpressed tone making me chuckle.
"I take it you guys don't watch horror movies often," I questioned and Chris hummed in agreement, still clinging onto my arm and his head on my shoulder.
"We going for round two?" Mia asked and I sat in silence, waiting for someone to respond as I played with the lint on the blanket cover Allie, Chris and I.
"What time do y'all have to leave?" Matt asked and I tilted my head back to look at him still tangling the ends of my hair in his hands.
"My dad's picking Mia and I up at 6:30," Allie explained and Matt looked at Nate.
"I gotta go in like 30 minutes. My parents want me home for dinner," Nate rolled his eyes and Matt nodded before looking down at me.
"I don't have to be home by a certain time," I shrugged and he smiled.
"Why are you're parents picking us up so early?" Mia whined, throwing her head on Matt's shoulder with a pout. Allie tilted her head back to look at her.
"Because we have to get dinner," Allie explained and Mia groaned, slouching into Matt further. I looked over when Nick chuckled to himself before he pursed his lips, looking back at the TV that had nothing playing.
I looked down at Chris who was doing something on his phone before I asked, "Uh where's the bathroom?"
"I'll show you," Matt quickly leaned forward, Mia falling off of his arm and I nodded. Chris leaned back onto the couch against Nate's legs allowing me to get up before I slid the blanket off of my legs and stood up.
Matt jumped off of the couch as I stood awkardly in the middle of the living room before he started walking down the hallway. He opened a door to the right, turning the light on before motioning me to walk inside.
I sent him a thankful smile before stepping into the bathroom. I spun around to the close the door and locked it behind myself. I quickly sat down on the toilet, feeling my phone vibrate in the pocket of my shorts. I pulled it out seeing a text from my father and a frown covered my features.
Father 5:37pm Dont bither cominh home
I sighed, locking my phone as I placed my head in my hands as I chewed on my lip. I bit down on it anxiously, thinking of where to sleep tonight and how I would get to school in the morning.

Making ends meat
Tumblr media
I had a bunch of small epiphanies today but I forgot most of them. But I remember one I had from Alastor today.
I was thinking what his life might have been if he was alive. Guy lived during an interesting and dangerous time period. He was born with only 45 states, and 3 states were added in his preteen years. Died knowing only 48 states.
Lives through Titanic sinking, WW1 in his late teens. Alcohol was prohibition is whole adult life. Woman got the right to vote, The great depression, KKK was huge and must been terrifying for Alastor is mixed. His mixed race may prompted the "face for radio" as public rather keep his mixed ethnicity out of view.
So I'm trying to picture what his life must been life. I assume his first murder was his abusive father or avenging Mimzy. Mimzy dying first in the 20's while Alastor in the 30's. I assume Mimzy died by abusive lover or a fan she rejected. Mimzy death kickstarting his serial killer "Dexter" style killing of selecting bad men.
But one thing I couldn't quite figure out was how Alastor got into cannibalism. I mean, sure Alastor not a solid frame of mind. But some of his behavior can at least be understood. Like, what point did Alastor was like, "You know what, I'm gonna eat this mother fucker." instead of disposing the evidence because I dont think its for shits and giggles.
Then it dawn to me why.
I assume Alasor hasn't been an active killer for too long in his life. I don't imagine him killing in his teens and right at the start of adulthood. I say about his late 20's, so started murdering in the late 1920s-his death of the early 1930's. Which, makes avenging Mimzy death seem much more likely.
So his first few years of killing was just that. The cannibalism didn't start happening because....
wait for it...
The great depression. Alastor so detached and desensitized by his carnage by now. He killed multiple dozens by now. He was probably disposing the evidence by feeding gators or burying thinking how it was a damn shame to waste such fresh meat. He can't remember the last time he even ate meat that so fresh and enough of it. Then...the light bulb went on inside his head as he looked at the 200 pounds of fresh meat at his feet and his stomach rumbled with hunger.
I believe Alastor worked in radio until he died. He was too good at it be fired. He has the charmia and the voice. So he managed to keep his job. So Alastor wasn't worse off compare to his neighbors...but he wasn't well off either when it came to money. He was of mixed race when prejudice was spreading like wildfire, and considered almost patriotic. Alastor pay was substantially less then his peers at the radio station. As much as as he chided about that, he still have a job, a respected job, a job that was also his passion. He was better off than most.
...But money was still tight. It just not as tight for him compare to neighbors of the similar 'breed'. Money was spent on essential and making them stretch. A slab of desired cut of fresh meat, didn't make the essential list, nor its something that can be stretched well.
Now, Alastor has 200 pounds of fresh meat of every and any cut he wanted right at his feet. He was amused with himself when the thought first came. It was a ridiculous passing thought. Then he became disgusted with himself when...when the passing idea started to be considered seriously. He didn't indulge in these obscure thoughts.
But he kept murdering. Kept having to disposing those bodies. Such a waste! The thoughts keep floating in mind, making him curious... He inner voice is reasoning him why he should pursue into indulging these. The further into the Great depression with no end in sight, the reasons became so much stronger.
He took a cut of meat he generally enjoy off the body to try. His soul already damn with the body count he has. Can't really be damned more. He wasn't a cannibal for long in his life, but it lasted a handful of years before he came to his gruesome end.
...and that's my idea and reason how he became a cannibal.

Imagine Cale falling for someone the opposite of him. They're poor, live alone, and have never told a lie. They have a shack in the woods with a garden and some animals, pretty much self-sustaining and living in peace. But, unlike him, they may look like an average person yet have the strength of ten men. They have a bad reputation, because they kinda fit the whole "evil witch that lives in the woods" vibe. And even though they're honest(blunt), they can't get a long with people. Just imagining their dynamic is hilarious and amazing.
1) i went overboard, 2) cale is ooc in some parts, me thinks, 3) messy asf. im sorry
Tumblr media
Cale's thought upon the first meeting is probably "oh wow they have my dream life"
except for the poor part. we all know Cale doesn't speak broke
s/o not being able to lie is good for him. he wont need to play the guessing game all the time unlike with other people
but at the same time he thinks they wont make it far in life with that
but not that it matters much. he has confidence he'll be able to protect them for they are one of his people
speaking of s/o becoming one of his people. i really think that's the only way for Cale to fall in love
the man is closed off so if you aren't in his circle you wont stand a chance
luckily for s/o Cale saw their strength and deemed that it would be beneficial
and the rest after that is history
now them as a couple!
one word: intimidating
they're that power couple everyone admires but are to scared to approach
how can you when you're dealing with a natural intimidating aura and a leader aura fueled by an ancient power purely for domination?
so when they look at each other and then proceed to whisper everyone doesn't know if they find the scene hot or scary
what they don't know is that s/o is actually super anxious
"Cale i think they're looking at me weirdly... I want to go home"
"if i ask one more golden plaque from hyung-nim you can use it to blind them"
"why are you asking for another one? dont you still have 20 more?"
"but thats for shopping with you and the kids"
yes Cale is the type to spoil their s/o openly, i will take this hc with me even after u get buried 6ft underground
as i said cale doesn't speak broke so ofc his s/o have to get the best of the best
meanwhile s/o likes to live a simple life
cue many arguments that occurs everyday while everyone else in the villa watch with popcorn
dont get me wrong, Cale admires their self-sustaining, simple life and he supports it
but he also thinks you can't be wealthy enough yknow
the more riches the better
thats cale's motto
meanwhile s/o is probably
the simpler the better
THE KIDS LOVE THEM SM
ofc we have the fact that if cale loves them then the whole fam will also love them as long as they dont have bad intentions
but the kids love them for
is it because of their natural affinity with animals? are they really just that good with kids? is it both?
Cale honestly doesn't want to think about it
all this man knows is that while they make look ethereal while interacting with kids and animals, it annoys the hell out of him when they go bother him early in the morning
the villa doesn't even have pets
most of the time its just random animals (specially birds) knocking on his bedroom window wanting to see his s/o early in the morning
but grumble as much as he want he wont rlly do about it when they see how happy they are playing with those annoying little things
moments like that makes Cale think how you dont get along with other people outside your circle much
but then again outside Cale's safe clutches is the filthy world of high society
and he knows how they dont like hearing the truth, something s/o always deliver, but instead prefer empty praises
oh well, Cale could care less about those greedy nobles. he also make sure to remind his s/o that they are trash and its not worth it getting along with them
cue more argument about how this is why Cale would probably die friendless
overall its safe to say they are intimidating in public and act like an old married couple in private
they may have different values and morals from Cale but he wouldn't trade them for anything

You woke up at 8am to the sound of pans banging in the kitchen, immediately you smiled, knowing your mom had gotten up early to start baking.
A look over to your left would remind you taehyung fell asleep in your bedroom last night....you couldn't help but feel bad, he was so crammed up against the wall, and he definitely would be complaining of back pain later on.
You shifted slightly, allowing room to pull the covers back and plant your feet on the ground. You slept, but not for long.
You were still feeling a bit off after having an episode last night, but the startling realization that came soon after only further prevented you from getting the 8 hours of sleep you so desperately needed.
Your feet clashed against the cold tiles of your bathroom as you slowly shut the door and turned the light on. Your phone was still sitting on the counter near the sink, exactly where Taehyung had left in last night.
You brushed your teeth and contemplated whether you should quickly text them back to clear things up. You promised Taehyung no phone, but this situation was becoming much more serious.
Your eyes gazed to your reflection, sighing.
theres no way....right?
you've been late before, it wasn't some odd occurrence to your body. you grew up playing soccer, dancing and doing track, your teenage athletic self always had weird period dates
But then again, that was a while ago.
You felt guilty for many reasons, 1 being the fact that if you are what you think you are, how could you have been so careless with what you did?
You always used some form of contraception, you even planned to get an IUD implanted when you see your doctor in a few weeks, just so you didn't have any scares.
you also felt guilty for if you were pregnant...
You knew you couldn't be a mom, hell, you could barley take care of Yeontan or yourself.
You also knew Taehyung on the other hand, would absolutely love this, which breaks your heart.
"I don't know, I think it would be fun" taehyung said, reaching into the bowl to grab more popcorn
"It doesn't sound or look fun, taehyung, babies are menaces" You scoffed, looking at him
"oh well I dont think so....I know when I get older someday I think I'll have some...only one or two, depends on what my future spouse wants" he shrugged
"you do realize babies need attention and care, its not like a dog where you put the food in a bowl and leave it to fend for themselves..?" you joked, watching your friend contemplate parenthood at the ripe age of 20.
"Its fun to think about" he smiled softly, looking over at tannie who sat with his tail wagging. He sure was easy to care for, what more work is a human baby?
oh was he naive.
You washed your face and brushed your hair, trying to get out a knot from sleeping with a ponytail in, when taehyung awoke and began to knock on the door.
"baby..." he whispered, seeing the light on, "you in there?"
You smiled and walked over, unlocking the door and pulling him in happily.
"happy birthday!" he whisper yelled, immediately attacking you with kisses and pulling your smaller frame into a hug, "I love you!"
You giggled and kissed him back, hands wrapping over his shoulders, "thank you....I love you too, even if you slept in my bed last night" you smirked
"hey, you told me to!" he added, pulling away
"shh!" you put a hand over his mouth, his deep voice echoing through the room, "I was in a state of weakness, and I really hope my mom didn't see you in here"
He shrugged and moved to hug your from behind, both of you facing the mirror and looking at your reflection, it was sweet.
"so was I the first person to say it?"
you raised an eyebrow and and tilted your head as you applied moisturizer
"happy birthday, did I beat your mom to it?" he giggled, making you smile and nod, "yes, tae you did, you won"
"oh really? what do i win" he smirked and pushed you against him, his face finding the crook of your neck too easily.
"ah-" you tensed and pulled back, knowing if he continued you would have gave in right then in there. "nothing until we get back to Busan"
He frowned, trying to get you to change your mind, "baby."
"taehyung! we are not fucking in my mothers house, let alone my childhood bedroom!" you whispered loudly, making him explode in laughter.
"hey, I was just gonna ask for a massage, I didnt say anything about sex, but now that you mention-"
"no"
"damnit"
You smiled at his antics as he returned his head to your shoulder, humming softly, "you look better, you feeling good, too?"
You nodded, "yeah, I guess...still a bit iffy but mentally im better"
"good" he kissed your cheek and looked at your phone, taking it silently and sliding it into his pocket, making you frown.
-
As afraid to admit as you were, things were slightly coming together now....in a light you wish was dimmed.
When you came downstairs your mother surprised you with a huge birthday breakfast, something you expected hence the fact she does it every year- but what you had not expected was you trying to fight the urge to vomit all over the plate at the scent of the scrambled eggs.
You swore up and down to both your mother and tae that you were okay, just still feeling the effects from last nights situation, but the moment you were alone in your room for the first time since youve been here, you began to break.
"What if's" filling your head as you cried silently against the shut door, deep deep down you believed you would possibly laugh about this later on, like "oh remember how I was so dramatic and thought I was pregnant? what a funny time!"
"Y/N?" your mother called, knocking on the door, "we are leaving for lunch in 15, almost ready?"
you sighed, feeling bad for your bad mood against your mom who was just happy to have you in her presence. "yes, almost..."
She had thrown together a small reservation for the 3 of you at a local wine and dine restaurant, you were feeling a bit more hungry now and were grateful for that.
Putting on a black tank top and jeans, you curled your hair and put some makeup on, all while that silly little voice in your head kept nagging at you that something bad was happening.
You tried to calm yourself, even going as far as saying that even if you had gotten pregnant, you would figure out a way to deal when you got back to Busan...you just wanted to enjoy your vacation.
All of you had made it out the house on time, taehyung offering to drive to the place while you and your mother sat in the back seat. You gazed at every passing store, seeking out any type of pharmacy available. You wished you could use your phone map, but you know....
"you will love this place, My friend took me here after one of my doctor appointments last week, the food is to die for!" your mother patted your back on the way into the small yet lavish building, the spring flowers making your nose itch.
"oh thats nice, was it stacey who took you? or Linna?" you responded
She giggled softly as you waited in line to check in for your reservation, "no, actually he is a new worker, his name is Ji-Tae"
Your eyes widened, turning to taehyung behind you, who was making a smug face, mouthing the word "he?"
You pouted, "I see..."
you were skeptical. You always want your mom to be happy, and for sure you understand how lonely she is living alone with such a big house filled with things your dad had built for her before fleeing your family to be in a different one.
-
The food was good, and you ate a lot of it.
Your mother insisted to buy you a drink to go with your pasta, making you hesitant, so the glass sat full in front of you.
"is it not good?" she would ask, making you race to come up with some excuse that wasnt related to the possible fact you could be pregnant.
"Oh I took a sip" you lied, "its good but I dont think I should be drinking right now"
She beamed up, seeming happy "oh? how come?" she smiled knowingly
Taehyung took a sip of his wine and raised his eyebrows, confused.
You panicked quickly, "because I am still not one hundred precent, health wise, so you know-"
"I'll drink it!" he smiled and took a sip, face scrunching at the mixture of his alcohol.
"dont mix, its not good to-" your mom began
"and we dont want you to get drunk" you gently rubbed his back, giving him a knowing glare, he nodded.
You nervously continued to pick at your lunch scraps
"hey we should get coffee or something after this, theres a store plaza down the street" your mom insisted, offering to drive you both
"that sounds fun" he looked at you, smiling
"yes, im down"
It fell silent, not in a weird way, it was peaceful...the wind coming in from the window near you had your hair flowing like you were in a covergirl commercial, and the sun only made your skin look shiny and tan.
Taehyung couldn't keep his eyes off you
Even sitting here eating, doing nothing particularly interesting, you were the only thing that had his attention, you've always been so effortlessly beautiful in his eyes.
"you are glowing, y/n" your mom smiled, taking her eyes off her phone to look at you, "dont you think, taehyung?"
"I agree" he hummed, making you blush.
Your mother began to ramble about something to do with her job while he got lost in thought, something hes done a lot the past 24 hours.
He couldn't help his mind racing back to the first time he felt this feeling, this feeling of admiration and love when he realized he saw you differently...
"You cant, your- you aree a cheater!!" you slurred, tripping over yourself as you walked to the living room again
He giggled, putting his wine down and pulling you to sit next to him, "just because I know how to play the game, doesnt mean I cheated"
It was almost 3am, he had finished working in his office around 11pm and promised to spend time with you as you both had fallen into a habit doing.
you would cook, prepare wine and entertainment, and he would get to destress and spend time away from his laptop.
Obviously, one look at the both of you right now, you can tell who handles their alcohol better...
"Fool" you scoffed and sat down with a thump, leaning against him in the dark room.
"be nice" he teased, his hand poking into your side.
He had to admit, spending so much time with you was nice, he realized you had matured a lot emotionally since hes met you, and you both had grown into semi-adults with real lives and things to talk about, it was an odd but fascinating thing for him.
He also had to admit, that for the first time in his life, seeing you against him with your hair sprawled out and your shirt scrunched up, revealing a bit of your soft stomach, made his heart somersault.
You also had grown into him in a way you never saw coming, he was so easy to just be next to, so easy to talk to, so easy to know and love, and that is why it led to what it did....
He gently cupped your face, titling you up so your eyes met his
"so pretty" he blushed and whispered, making you giggle in even your drunk state
"I know you are but what am I?" you raised an eyebrow, trying not to laugh as he pushed your hair back, brushing it with his long fingers softly.
"Y/n.....?" he spoke after a moment, the room filled with tension- and no longer from the card game you had just fought over.
"yeah?" your face froze, eyes scanning over him,
he gently took your hand and placed it onto his chest
"your heart is beating reallyyy fast" you smiled
"yea, i know"
You watched his eyes draw to your lips before going back up, making you smirk.
"you wanna kiss me?" you teased, watching him blush even more, he was practically a tomato right now.
"I- uh,"
"you can if you want" your hand slid up over his shoulder, relaxing at his nape as you sat closer, nudging his nose with yours.
He swallowed harshly, feeling sick a bit, and was unable to identify if it was the rush of emotions or the drinks.
"dont overthink...its just a kiss" you whispered
and with that he pressed his lips to yours, softly swiping his tongue into your mouth.
It was just a kiss.
yeah, it was a kiss the next day too, after he finished work, you sat waiting for him, sober this time.
You ate then made out for a few hours before falling asleep- he was content, knowing you not only liked it too, but continued to want him.
thats how it was for a few days, things were normal until 11pm, then anyone onlooking would consider you both in love...and he loved that
He was a sensitive person, still is, when he feels something he feels it deeply and quick, He was only growing more in love with you by the day, and was convinced you felt the same.
that was, until it was about a week and a half into this escapade
"I want you" you panted, his lips sucking just under your clavicle as your hands gripped his hair.
You both were sprawled out on the couch, completely sober as you passionately made out, the puzzle that had been started was no longer interesting to either of you.
He sat back a bit, looking at you, "what?"
suddenly you felt embarrassed, "we dont have to do anything" you covered
He sat looking at you, it only made you feel self conscious, so you sat up and wrapped your arms over your bra, hiding your chest.
He wasnt mad, or shocked, he just couldnt believe you were asking to...to take things to this level, to be intimate with him.
You both have only been doing this for a little while, but he felt like its been forever-perhaps its due to the fact you both grew up together, he knows you, you know him, it felt safe...and right.
He didnt want to rush anything, but his heart was beating so damn hard right now, "y-yeah? you want to?"
You blushed, "yeah..." you watched his face light up, a small shy smile on his lips "its just sex..ya know? it doesn't hurt anyone"
He nodded, trying to figure out what to say or do now
"so is it okay?"
"of course, y/n, yeah..." he smiled again, feeling so glad in knowing you trusted him.
You laid back again, pulling him down and kissing him, "no strings?" you asked
oh.
Of course you dont want this to be a serious thing, it wasnt who you were, he should have known that....but yet he was still hurt.
"yeah....n-no strings"
and thats how that came to be.
He snapped out of his head and took a sip of his drink, smiling at you, your eyes met his and you blushed a bit, mouthing "what?"
He shook his head, "nothing"
Things might be different now between you both, but one thing that hasnt left or changed is the admiration he saves for just you.
-
"this is so cute, huh?" your mom turns to you, showing a mannequin with a summer dress on it
"aww it is" you walked over and felt it
"i'll buy it" she smiles, "birthday gift"
"ah! you dont have to eomma-"
"i want to, shush" she giggled and grabbed a medium off the rack, putting it into her shopping basket, you kissed her cheek, thanking her and linking arms while you walked.
"wheres taehyung?" she asked
just as she finished speaking:
"guys look" he ran up to both of you, he had disappeared about 14 minuets ago to go explore the market.
"what is that?" you smiled, looking at the container in his hand.
"there is a little store across the way, there was pets and stuff.....I bought a fishy" he grinned like a child, presenting the item in front of him.
"Taehyung how are we gonna bring a fish home?" you laughed at his cuteness, looking into the small water container to see a tiny fish swimming around happily.
"oh...I didnt think of that" he frowns, looking down, "I also bought a tank for him too"
"that you did" You nodded, looking at all of his bags.
"you guys are fish parents now" your mom laughed and patted his shoulder
You swallowed and nodded, yeahh fish parents
"we can discuss names at a later time, lets go show the lil dude the market" he spoke proudly, holding it up and talking to it as he passed cool stores, as if it could understand. It was kind of adorable.
You smiled happily as you all walked around a bit more, stopping at a cafe to get coffee and tea.
"iced with oatmilk please" you call out to your mom as she nods, getting into line while you and taehyung sit at a table outside.
"hes so cute" he laid his head in his palm, admiring the fish.
"we should name him spongebob"
Taehyung laughed, "but spongebob isnt a fish..."
"but hes yellow!"
"hmm...how about 해 (hae- sun in korean)
You smile and nod..."thats cute, actually"
"Then Hae it is"
You giggled and looked around, your eyes fell on a store a few blocks from where you were sitting- a pharmacy.
It was like a reminder of the possible issue at hand, everywhere you turned, the universe wouldnt let you rest.
The fish baby, the pharmacy, the pregnant woman who complimented you in the restaurant, It was haunting.
"hey, uhm, im gonna go run down the street really quick, i should be back before my mom comes, line is long"
He looked up at you "where you going?"
"just the pharmacy"
"can I come?"
You widened your eyes "no!...uhm i need....tampons." you nodded
"alright, do you have cash?"
You looked in your bag and had about $11
How much was a pregnancy test?
"here, just in case.." he smiled and gave you $10
"thank you honey" you kiss his head and take the money, assuring you will return asap.
You felt bad lying and taking his cash, but you needed to find out what was going on already, and so when you walked into the store with your head down, you made a straight line right to the feminine care isle.
You decided on buying tampons anyway, just so he wouldnt be suspicious.
"okay ...okay" you took a breath and walked over to the pregnancy area, which was beyond weird. You had passed by similar isles at other stores, looking out of pure curiosity, never believing you would be in this position of the buyer.
You scoffed to yourself, looking at all the tests, "which one do I buy? whats the difference?" you whispered to yourself, looking over each box, remembering you had to be quick. You decided to go with HCG test strips since they were the cheapest, you put them in your basket and ran to go pay before tae or your mom decided to come check on you.
The lady checking out gave you a knowing look, "how old are you?" she asked, eyeing the tampons and pregnancy tests.
You felt insulted, not because she assumed you were young-which you were- but because she was just asking and felt it was okay to do so.
"old enough, lets hurry this up"
You paid and grabbed the bag, making a sprint back to the coffee shop where your mom was just sitting down with taehyung- you made it.
"heres your drink" she smiled, "thanks mom"
you sat down next to taehyung, your heart was in your throat.
"I told her you ran to get concealer" he whispered in your ear, an attempt to save you some embarrassment
"oh, thanks" you grinned, brushing your foot against his.
-
A few hours later, the sun had started to set as you all returned home- your mother went to her home office to finish a quick work call as you and taehyung hung in the kitchen.
"im glad you can enjoy it now" he smiled, scooping another bite last nights cake onto a fork and feeding it to you
"yeah me too" you hummed, eating it before he kissed you quickly
"my moms in the other room" You scolded playfully, licking the frosting off the fork.
"so? we arent doing anything" he frowned, hugging you, "we cant do anything anyways-you got your period" he giggled
Oh yeah
"oh right" you laughed, taking another bite
His hands rested on your lower stomach, massaging gently. It was an act of cuteness but when you knew more than he did, it made you nervous.
"are you hurting?" he asked, kissing your shoulder
"no..." you blushed
maybe.....it wouldnt be the worst thing to parent with taehyung. He is so affectionate and caring, you know he would be the best partner and dad.....
You shook your head, trying to get rid of your current thoughts as you put the fork down.
You needed to end this now
"im...gonna shower ok?" you whispered, kissing his jaw
"want me to come?" he asked genuinely
"no no its okay, im gonna use my apple soap that you says burns your nose anyways" you giggle, walking away
"it does!!"
"mmhm"
-
You locked the bathroom door, placing the bag on the sink as you rummaged through.
"how the fuck does this work?" you whisper, looking over the box of the tests, "hm" you frowned and pulled one out, unwrapping it discreetly and going to use the toilet.
After you peed on the stick, your hand grew sweaty- it was becoming more real as the minuets when on.
While you waited, you took an actual shower to pass the time, fighting the urge to cry based on whatever result was on the stick just outside the shower.
You washed your hair and took your time before you wrapped up in a towel, shutting the water off.
it would be negative, right? you couldnt be pregnant, these types of things dont happen to you, these things happen to other but not you, you are probably worried about nothing...right?
Your mind raced as you sat near the sink, water still dripping from the towel.
"lets go y/n, whatever it is.....we are ok" you consoled yourself, rubbing your arm before moving to grab the test, your hands shaking furiously.
Suddenly everything youve ever done was questioned.
every choice youve ever made was doubted
Your confidence fell down the drain, and perhaps the years spent working and educating yourself are pointless.....maybe it wont matter after all....because theres two lines on the test.
You are pregnant.
You broke down sobbing, leaning against the wall as you slid to your knees, there wasnt anything to say, there wasnt anything to do. You were gonna have a baby and there was nothing you could do about it, nothing you say would erase the problem.
Your mother and taehyung sat downstairs, completely unaware of the anxiety attack you were dealing with just one floor above them.
"no no...no..." your hand fell to your stomach, gently caressing it.
You werent mad at the baby, you were mad at yourself. You suddenly felt responsible for the life growing inside you, but felt guilty over knowing you would never succeed at being a mom.
"im sorry.....im sorry im so sorry" you rubbed your stomach once more, whispering and apologizing in advance for the failure you would bring to this childs life. you havent even finished school, you graduate next year and now you are gonna have to drop out because paying for a newborn and tuition wont work, you will have to sell your car and old clothes
you will have to move somewhere cheaper, or grow small and confess to your mother that you cant get your shit together, and need to have a baby in her house for a few years until you are financially stable.
In your own mind, you were still a kid. You were a baby in the eyes of the world, and now everyone will shame you for what youve done, knowing you arent ready, but still expect you to carry on and raise another human being.
and taehyung.....hes gonna be happy....hes gonna love this, and you cant deal with it.
-
About an hour later, you had forced yourself to calm down as you made your way to his room, opening the door to see him laying on his bed.
"hi angel" he smiled, urging you to come over to him.
"hi" you spoke quietly, walking over to the bed and climbing in, hiding your face into his neck as you laid on him.
"everything alright?" he asked, rubbing your back.
tell him, tell him now before you back out, you wont ever do it if you dont tell him.
"we have to talk later" was all you mumbled, falling asleep next to him.
It blew your mind in a way, he had no clue about the fact he was a dad right now, yet here you were, falling apart by the seams. You wish you didnt know. You wish you were him, you wish this never happened in the first place.
Happy birthday to you, huh?

Thoughts on Chilchuck?
favorite thing about them-
everything!!! oh my god hes such a well rounded character ryoko was not slacking in the main character group at all. i think just his whole backstory is just so good, hes divorced, he had a really bad job and decided to make sure it didnt happen to any else, and he raised kids. certified dad
least favorite thing about them-
hrm. lack of wrinkles, or grey hair. hes middle aged for his species and he doesnt have any sign of aging??? i say this and my grandfather is past 70 and still has a head full of dark brown hair lmao
favorite line-
easily this line v
Tumblr media
brOTP-
most of everyone in dungeon meshi hes like either colleagues with or sort of fulfills the "adult supervision needed" check box. because hes so professional i dont think we've really seen what he values in a friend or how hed act? gonna go with senshi. both are very practical and i can see this slowly turning into long time old man work brotp
OTP-
senshi again, i feel like anyone else is kinda just doesnt make sense? i not big on seeking out romance content so im not used to thinking about these kinds of things lol.
nOTP-
marcille since obviously she is gay for falin, and besides would not mesh well with chilchuck being very much a responsible middle aged man whereas marcille still feels like early 20s immature at times
random headcanon-
uh. theres nuts and trail mixes in some of his belt pockets.
unpopular opinion-
not a big fan of half foots having a tail? or at least a visible one, idk i feel like in this instance its intresting to have species look so similar to each other i think giving one of them immediately recognizable traits defeats the purpose. i think ryoko's thing with emphasizing big ears is something i like better
song i associate with them-
ough this is hard. tentatively saying this one? mostly just off vibes and not any connection to the lyrics. idk chilchuck to me just has a little bit of a longing vibe to him underneath everything
favorite picture of them-
Tumblr media
such a classic and probably also the first instance of dungeon meshi was this panel?

Sis wrote the most crack, most spelling-error, most uninformed oneshot of T&B that is somehow in-character and awful and I cried real tears of horror and joy. My heart is full right now. imma draw a Most Serious comic of this.
~~~~
Baranby opens his texting app fully expecting that the old  man was having another crisis only to be pleasantly surprised at the content of the messages. 
---
The rapid fire rate of incoming  texts could only mean one person was the sender. 
Hey Bunny-chan!!!~  (^_-)-☆
Crazy week right??! ( ༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ ) 
Well i dont know bout you but i want to kick back and have soem FUn 
And guess what?
And he supposes at this point Kotestu had wanted him to guess but he didn’t answer in the appropriate time alloted and grew impatient. 
Director got me some coupons to a fancy restaurant
And since we still havnet gotten our drinks yet 
Meet me friday at this location!! ∩(·ω·)∩
An address pops into his maps. 
Dont forget to dress up! (≧∇≦)/
—-
Barnaby should have known that something was up when the old man told him to dress up but he was too distracted by the butterflies in his stomach and the heat in his cheeks to think clearly. And by the time Friday rolled around, he had already arrived 20 minutes early dressed in his nines when reality finally began to sober him up. 
He can’t believe he wasted the suit that (as Fire Embelm put it) “made his ass extra phat” on this place. 
He stands there a little too long slack-jawed that Kotetsu actually finds him outside the restaurant. 
“Hey Bunny-chan!” he says in a way that makes Baranby’s heart flutter but also gives him the urge to wrap his hands around that thick sturdy neck, “glad you could make it!”
And there he is. Dressed in his normal clothes.
“I thought you said to dress fancy?” 
“Uh yeah, see?” He does a little twirl and tips his cap forward. “I got my shirt ironed.”
“Old man-” but before he could finish he is ushered inside and they are seated in ‘the best seat in the house’ because oh god Kotestsu actually made a reservation. 
This establishment  is a place Baranby never thought he would in a million years find himself in. But since meeting Wild Tiger, these event have been happening more and more often. 
Looking around the Texas-style decor, the waiters in cowboy outfits and just so much bovine memorabilia…
“This is Tyson Bison Steakhouse and Winery.”
“Yeah super fancy right?!” 
“It’s a franchise.”
“A fancy franchise!”
“There is a cardboard cut out of Tyson Bison behind you.”
“ It’s like having our friends here but not!”
Obviously nothing could ruin the good mood for Kotetsu T Karuragi. Who has seduced not one, but two people in his life with his buffoonary. 
“Whatever.” 
“That’s the spirit! And don’t worry,” he takes the coupons out of his vest and fans himself with them like a rich old lady, “Dinner’s on me!”
—-
Ok. The food wasn’t horrible. 
And the company wasn’t either. 
Maybe he was even enjoying himself? Maybe Kotetsu-san really did have good ideas sometimes. They needed some time to let loose. What was a better place no one would bother them than the franchise chain one of their friends/coworkers sponsors?
And then the check came. 
Kotetsu, in total confidence, hands the cowboy-waiter his coupons with a smile and a wink. The cowboy-waiter is not impressed. 
“Sir, these coupons are good for a free appetizer. I still need your payment information.” 
Wild Tiger laughs nervously. 
Barnaby starts to feel his blood pressure rise. 
“But you see my buddy, the DIRECTOR OF JUSTICE, gave these to me. For a meal here!”
“Yes and the coupons are good for an appetizer.” 
“I don’t see that written here.”
“Please look at the fine print sir.” 
Oh course the old man’s downfall was him being …well old. 
Barnaby decides to throw him a bone especially since the dinner wasn’t that bad. He pulls out his credit card only to be stopped by Tiger grabbing his wrist. 
“I can’t let you do that Bunny. I’m treatin’ ya today.” 
He scoffs. “You didn’t bring enough money old man, I’ll pay.” 
“No I am.” 
“an d how are you going to do that?” 
Kotetsu points to the cardboard cut out behind him. “That’s how.”
“You can’t be serious” 
“You can’t be serious sir”
“I’m very serious Bunny. The sign says if I can finish a 35 ib steak in 20 mins the meal is free.” Kotetsu turns to the waiter, “So bring me my steak!”
“Sir please.”
“Kotetsu san please, this is ridiculous.”
But Kotetsu already is re seated, tying a bib around his neck, fork and knife ready. 
“Bring me my steak!” 
With much horror, Sternbuild’s number one hero watches as the wait staff bring out a massive steak to his waiting partner and a large comically hourglass. 
The original cowboy-waiter looks like he wants to be anywhere but here. But regardless he does his job, “Begin!” 
And Kotetsu shoves the steak into his mouth.
Which lasts about 20 seconds.
Barnaby watches in horror as his work partner and life buddy makes the universal sign for choking and falls to the restaurant floor. 
Diners begin screaming and the wait staff begin scrambling to call the ambulance. 
Barnaby himself falls to the floor next to Tiger’s side as the love of his life gasps and spits out steak chunks. 
Once the coughing subsides, Barnaby can make out a raspy (but sexy) words, “I’m sorry Bunny-chan… I just wanted… to show you a good time…”
“Old man, you’re so stupid…” He would of had fun regardless of where they were. 
Still coughing but able to sit up, “Next time… you choose the place!” 
Barnaby couldn’t help but chuckle. 
“We will waive your bill if you leave now.” Both of the heroes turn to see the original cowboy-waiter behind them, “and if you two never come back we won’t press charges.”

Coping with and Managing Incontinence
Tumblr media
Dealing with Incontinence can be an emotional, physical and financial struggle. I wanted to share some things I have learned over the years with others to support my community, spread awareness and educate.
1 in 15 Americans deals with a form of incontinence. Alot of negative feelings can come with the realization or diagnosis of incontinence. First, and most importantly you need to know you are not alone and you have done nothing wrong. Incontinence is sometimes treatable and if not, it is definitely manageable!!!
Most people get toilet trained at an early age and never think of potentially having to deal with issues later like dribbling when they cough or sneeze, getting a sudden urge and not making it, wetting the bed or even not getting the signal that you need to go at all. Often, this comes with embaressment due to the stigma and lack of awareness for these types of problems. Accepting that this is a problem and that it is not your fault is the first step, we need to accept this so we can seek help from our providers, make a plan or find management that works!
Talking to your Doctor
Talking to your health care professional about your problem is very important, but in fact surveys show that only 20% of people living with a form of incontinence report it to a doctor, and most reported cases of incontinence are people who have dealt with it for 7 years or more before mentioning it. Doctors see tons of patients and others with this condition and will not judge you or be cruel. When discussing this with your doctor be prepared to answer some potentially uncomfortable questions, bring a notebook with any questions you may have, keep a bladder diary leading up to the appointment.
Privacy and Independence
Loss of privacy and Independence is one of the hardest things to accept. Going to the bathroom is usally a very private thing. Depending on the type of incontinence and the condition of the person dealing with it sometimes help is neccessary which can feel dehumanizing, can cause a loss of dignity and a feeling of dependence. This is okay and is honestly normal. Waking up with a partner in wet sheets, needing help wiping or changing protection, needing reminders to go or assistance getting there or even needing to use a bedside cammode all means compromising privacy, make sure you communicate with your loved ones or caregivers about how this makes you feel and how you can become more comfortable goes a long way. Some boundaries I asserted to maintain my privacy are:
-When using a bedside cammode I have a lap blanket so I am not exposed, it gets cleaned often so as to keep the environment more normal and sanitary feeling and I can sit there by myself until I need help wiping or transferring back to bed.
-When I need assistance changing my protection not making eye contact during it helped, we make random conversation during it so it is not awkward and if I feel I can help or do it on my own I do.
-Checks or questions about the current condition of my protection are to always happen in private, never in front of company and never assume another person knows. Even if you know another person knows do not ask me in front of others.
Equipment/ Protection
There are alot of things available for now for people with incontinence and what works for you depends totally on your type of incontinence as well as your physical limitations.
Bedside Cammodes- This can be great for someone with urge or functional incontinence. Having one right by the bed or your favorite chair means you dont need as much time to get to the bathroom, it is also easier to get to than to get all the way to a bathroom for someone with physical limitations.
Bed Pans/Bed urinals- This can be handy for someone who knows when they need to go but cannot make it to the bathroom due to injury or being bedridden.
Pads, Underwear, Briefs- Absorbent protection comes in all types of absorbency levels ranging from pads for dribbles to underwear for the occasional light or mild accident to super absorbent underwear or briefs for moderate to severe accidents. Plastic backed briefs or plastic pants/covers can help minimize odor from bowel incontinence as well.
Bed pads/waterproof covers- This can help save furniture and matresses from unavoidable leaks, matress covers also help prevent the smell of urine that builds overtime with long term bedwetting.
Catheters- this is something that should be prescribed by a medical professional if needed, there are various types and sizes and collection systems.
I honestly use most of these things pending my situation. I have no bladder control as I do not get ques to go and I have loss of some bowel control. I use underwear at home on good days when I can manage my protection on my own but I use briefs overnight and for long car rides or outtings. I use a bedside cammode when needed to move my bowels as I struggle to get to the toilet on time due to my own physical limitations. I cath before bed or intercourse to minimize leaking and when I have skin breakdown, bed sores or changes are difficult due to my joint subluxations my dr will put in an indwelling foley catheter.
What you use needs to be comfortable and right for you but it can help you gain back some independence and help minimize the exposure of your condition to people you do not want knowing, if you have an accident without protection everyone sees it, if you have one with protection you just gotta clean up. Honestly finding protection that worked for me gave me my life back.
Traveling With Incontinence
This can be difficult for some people and honestly can deter many people from traveling. Here are some tips ive learned in my experience:
1. Carry a go bag. I keep a bag with extra protection, a spare change of clothes and wipes in my vehichle at all times. So if I am ever blindsided I am prepared.
2. On car rides plan on extra time to stop if you need it.
3. In a car, if comfortable, on long drives (cross country trips a couple of times) I have used external catheters or foleys with a perscription when changes would be difficult.
4. When traveling by plane, protective garments can take up quite a bit of space in luggage and add to the weight. I order supplies to or send some to my destination so it will be there when I arrive and I can have all of my suitcase room.
5. Ask a flight attendant for a seat close to the bathroom, if you ask before boarding and explain you have a medical condition most of the time they are more than willing to accamodate.
6. Handicapped bathrooms and family facilities provide more space and privacy and are usually kept cleaner, this usually makes them safer for catheterization and garment changes.
Hospital Admittance with Incontinence
1. While your incontinence may be documented somewhere on your chart, if it is not what you are currently being seen for more often than not the staff and healthcare providers will have no idea. You should share this information with a nurse or Dr. when you get admitted so they do not find out later when you need assistance and they did not know.
2. If you need help managing your incontinence while inpatient it is your responsibility to let them know that and assert your needs.
3. Bring your own protection. While hospitals do carry briefs and pads what they have may not be what works for you.
4. The curtain around your bed is for you for your privacy, do not be afraid to use it or ask someone to draw it for you during changes (wether independent or assisted) or use of bedside cammodes or urinals.
5. If an accident occurs let staff know strait away, staying in soiled sheets or clothes can cause damge to your skin and infections.
6. If your needs are not being met or you feel you cannot bring them up on your own, ask for a patient advocate.
Skincare
Alot of skin problems can come with Incontinence ranging from chaffing, rashes and infections to bedsores.
1. Change as soon as you can after an accident.
2. Using absorbent protection can help pull the moisture away from your skin.
3. Make sure your skin is completely dry before putting on fresh protection. Pat dry instead of rubbing.
4. Be careful of what you put on your skin. Ointments and barrier creams can be helpful but some things advertised for cleaning those areas can actually be harmful and cause further skin breakdown, if you are unsure, as your doctor or urologist.
I hope this post was helpful. I am kind of wanting to do a series of posts with tips and education on things I have experienced to share with others in support and awareness. Please do not be afraid to reblogg this with some of your own added tips!!!!

hi!! are u still active? i see the askbox is opeen sooo.
could i request some relationship of older!GOM like who's the marrying type, what do they like, who sleeps around most, who finds dating bother some etc etc!!! Maybe their ideal types in a s/o as well??? Thank u so muuuuch im so excited if everaaa
Hi! This request is really interesting and here are my dating headcanons for the GOM. You can request another one for their ideal types if you’d like since this ended up quite long 😅
GOM Dating/Marriage Headcanons
a/n: unedited
Tumblr media
KUROKO
Come on, obviously this guy is the most emotionally intelligent out of all of them. 
But does he approach the people he likes? No 
But it’s painfully obvious when he does fancy someone
His ears become red. Warning: fair chance of passing out
He does his best to be more assertive though, meticulously planning how to approach his crush
Very very thoughtful, remembers what you told him 128 days, 13 hours, 6 minutes ago about that video you were showing him
When he’s with someone, you better bet the relationship will last for years
Not that he’s boring like that or anything but Kuroko hates the mind games that come with modern dating
But Kuroko’s immensely loyal to some may argue, a fault, I think
Like s/o wants to swerve careers? Kuroko supports
Wants to start a small business? He’s supportive 
Needs to rob a bank/hide a body? He has all the tools already......
I just imagine domestic fluff kuroko being the troll that he is. he purposefully hides in the corner to surprise you with a heart attack when you come back home 
Tumblr media
KISE
Kise has quite a fanbase, as we all know
Headcanoning is that a word that Kise gets scouted by a Japanese company and becomes an idol for a short while
Kise’s a jack-of-all-trades so I can definitely see him working in different fields and having multiple sources of income
Which means he’s probably met a lot of people along the way
So yes this boy dates casually a lot, mostly just for publicity, and the other party knows it usually. People just come up to him and ask him out.
He has to have MAD respect for the person to even consider seriously or sometimes casually dating them or making the first move, though. Like the person of his interest has to be VERY good at what they do and have banger character
Kise is, contrary to popular opinion, not shallow at all. Personality and a person’s passion/morals comes first. He knows the feeling of being ogled for your looks and how those feelings of infatuation are fleeting
BUT I’D BE LYING IF I DONT SAY THAT KISE 100% LOVES THE CHASE. He’s a fast learner so I bet he also gets bored pretty quickly
If you wanna date Kise, you better not be the jealous type and not be controlling. Someone who can keep him on his toes. 
Fun, goofy, sometimes intimidating lover
Tumblr media
AOMINE
Somehow I see him settling down earlier than the others. 
But before that he sleeps around a lot. 
He likes hot women, that’s canon, but like he doesn’t date seriously during his early 20s, just casually. 
Many fics present Aomine as this suave guy who can pick up any person he likes but I honestly doubt that’s the case 
Definitely gets with Momoi at least once, whether they cross the line between bffs and lovers officially is up to Aomine sadly (see Replace novel)
Thankfully, he’s as graceful on the court as he’s not on the dating scene 
So many people approach him on their own, often as fans who, if they ask appropriately enough, gets to go home with him
Boy just wants to have fun
But he never love bombs, and is in no way a manipulative lover
Respects your boundaries and asks for consent 1000%
When he falls in love tho, he falls hard
He might start off with seemingly cold feet and is indifferent but that’s just him actually thinking how to properly take the relationship to the next level considering all his hang-ups
Aomine’s insanely loyal and a committed relationship with him is something that even becomes sweeter over time. 
Once he’s committed, he’s all in: he thinks of marriage, kids, the works
Aomine may look tough but he’s all soft for his s/o
Tumblr media
MIDORIMA
He’s a late bloomer in the dating department
Midorima just thinks it’s bothersome. He’s busy with basketball and medical school already. He just doesn’t see what the fuss is about 
But can you imagine if he just falls in love with an incompatible sun sign???
Like an Aquarius or a Libra (Murasakibara’s one)… or god forbid an Aries!!
And he just freaks out and questions his beliefs and does research on the rest of his/their birth chart. Lmao
Takao secretly made Midorima a dating app account and his profile gets plenty of traffic
Midorima knows nothing about this and refuses downright every time Takao tries to set him up with someone
Doesn’t do casual. Period.
You have to be very patient with him he’s the densest out of all of them you might as well just spell it out for him for Midorima to get the hint that you’re flirting
Midorima’s romantic relationships can only ever happen organically so you can’t 1. Force it. 2. Expect him to seek out relations for its own sake
Will either have to be set up by a friend on a date OR
Have some Kdrama destiny shit to occur for romance to get through his head (Doctor Midorima with patient reader AU???
Needless to say Midorima’s a faithful partner in all senses of the word. He’s consistent, hard-working, and responsible. He’s the kind of person who’d literally grow old with his lover and wake up next to them each morning. 
Tumblr media
MURASAKIBARA
Another one who doesn’t like initiate dates
No formal conversations of labels or anything like that
He may be a man child at times but no one is more loyal than this giant
You wanna date him? You better know how to cook. Or at the very least love food
He will not ask you out, well not directly anyway
Doesn’t take breakups well
He will sulk for days, someone from the GOM or Himuro or his siblings has to drag him out of the room so he could take a shower
One day you’ll just notice him hanging out with you
Anyway I hc that he gets the most jealous out of everyone in GOM. Like he gets too little attention and you’ll find him pouting like a kid
Mura also really easily distracted, and might even come across quite cold
It’s only because he rarely sweats the small stuff
So sometimes you’d be upset and he wouldn’t notice
WARNING: this could go on for days so unless you tell it to him straight up he won’t know you’re even upset
Buuuuut gets the hang of it after several months
He’s attentive when he needs to be, especially when it comes to his partner’s needs
So fights would rarely occur, unless it’s about his habits
His ideal s/o is a mom. Sorta
There I said it
TL;DR Murasakibara baby in the streets daddy in the sheets
But tbh any established relationship with him would be quite stable, his life would simply revolve around his s/o, food, and basketball
Tumblr media
AKASHI
Akashi’s future is all planned out.
Being the only child in his political and influential family, marriage and family’s simply part of his duty. I read somewhere that his parents were most likely in an arranged marriage and that it’s not far off that he would be too, as Masaomi expects, when the time comes.
He sees the appeal in dating around but eventually decides against it because it’s seen as taboo (his family seems to be traditional), though he thinks about it from time to time when he feels lonely :-(
Lots of women (and men) fawn themselves over Akashi, he’s used to it, while he appreciates the support, emotional connection and bond is an important factor for the redhair
So he’s either seeing someone properly or not talking to anybody at all. Akashi’s forward like that.
He’s very discreet about his dating life. Like one day he just announces to the Miracles that he’s engaged to the love of his life and like??? No one knows he was even seeing someone?? Maybe just midorima and kuroko. Maybe Momoi (and by association Aomine)
Akashi haaaas relationships… they’re just very selective and won’t last long if he can’t see marrying them
Eventually marries for love. I just can’t see him tagging along an arranged marriage (like his father expects) with someone if he doesn’t like them
Yes boy do clear that karmic ancestral baggage
If you want to date Akashi, you should probably not be afraid to take the lead too sometimes. He already juggles plenty of responsibilities outside the home, he appreciates if he can just let go of the reins when he’s with his s/o
Bonus bonus if you can hold an intellectual conversation with him. He also takes a keen interest in your hobbies
Akashi’s a generous, kind, faithful, and attentive lover. You’re provided for for life.

NEVER HAVE I EVER
Tumblr media
☰ CHARACTER ⋮ toji fushiguro from jujitsu kaisen
contents ⋮ alot of kisses, hints of sexual activity the previous night, mention of gun/guns, mentions of jujustu usage.
summary ⋮ bitter sweet mornings with a sleepy toji crashing at your house for the night, more like crashing your bed and a crash landing into your heart
Tumblr media
"toji, toji, toji" by the time you woke up it was 7:47 am and you just couldn't go back to sleep, not when you we're sharing the same bed as... him. by the time it was 8:30 you finally stopped tossing and turning - getting up from the bed, you threw on a pair of basketball shorts that reached your knees and a black tee - making your way downstairs for a hot coffee and fresh air. by the time it reached 9:19 it was about time to wake up the knocked out man in your bedroom, otherwise known as toji fushiguro
it didn't take long for you to stop calling out to him, at this point you couldn't tell if he was ignoring you on purpose or if he was really sleeping like a log, second time comes again. climbing into the bed - you straddled toji's back while he laid on his stomach, his hands tucked in well under the pillow
"toji, toji." pulling yourself down so you could shake at his shoulders, aggressively.
it pretty much didn't take long before the larger man twisted his body so his arm went around your back nd his hand on your head "toji wak-" a second passed before your face was was pushed ... well slammed into the soft large pillows with a soundful grunt coming from the impact "what the hell toji !" the sound of your voice was muffled into the material of the pillow but that didn't block out the most beautiful thing that you could hear all morning
his morning voice
"no..too early for you to be starting your shit" pulling his hand back into the pillow, smug fucking bastard.
"toji it's nearly ten dont you have some business with the zen'ins or something wake up!" slamming your fist on his back for the way he slammed you back into the bed, it felt like a gun slammed into his back "plus you've been sleeping all day since yesterday afternoon, im bored over here !" whining was your best suit when it comes to toji fushiguro, he has a hard time saying no to you.
"i think you're forgetting what happened before I fell asleep"
it's hard to ignore the butterflies that erupted in your stomach right after, not the point stay focused y/n!
"that's not what I meant asshole!" sliding a hand down your face "10 more minutes." was the last thing he said before snugging his face back into the pillow.
it's been 20 minutes since you last spoke.
climbing back into the bed from your own desk, you climbed back on top of toji while he was still on his back - wrapping your arms around his neck, you pressed sweet kisses into the crook of his neck and upwards. it's the last resort you had for him to wake up.
"stop that if you know what's good for you" his voice was yet again pressed into the fabric of the pillow, an hand that held your arm that was wrapped around your neck "you're only saying that so you prevent yourself from kissing me. dont you wanna kiss me toji?"
"no" "liar" you muffled into the pulse on his neck and that's when he thought he was gonna break
and he did.
flipping you around so your back slammed against the mattress, he was on top of you one second, the next he pressed his lips against yours - hard, firm and hungry. pressing himself against you and tilted your head with the hand that grasped your jaw and all at once it felt so fucking ethereal.
a few moments later is when he pulled away from you, both of you trying to grasp any sort of oxygen in the room - his forehead pressed against yours "dont pull that shit first thing when I wake up" his voice was a bit over a whisper but it was fucking hot " so you did wanna kiss me ?" it didn't take long before he sat up and off the bed "you're so annoying"
it pretty much didn't take long before you wrapped your arms around his neck and upwards onto his back while he tucked his arms under your thighs, hosting you up so you didn't fall "I'm good for you though, you love me dont you?"
"can't help myself around you, course"

Amos Kane Headcanons
Tumblr media
->Amos Kane HCS. General/life pre! Tkc/post Tkc.
->I myself im not black, I am latine. If I got anything wrong or if you have anything to add about Amos being black please tell me. Always Open to learn, just be polite!.
->Hcs for other tkc characters are Open,I dont write x reader but I Will happily make general hcs for any character.
->This post is so Long. Eat up yall. I Will make my own amos kane content HE DESERVES IT.
->reblogs are appreciated.
->moodboard made by me.
Tumblr media
Bisexual, fight me/hj.
Got his love for Jazz from his mother (Clementine Kane), she listened to Jazz while she cooked and cleaned,and when Amos was old enough,she took him to his first jazz bar.
He was often times compared to his older brother by his family,not on purpose (sometimes though his father would compare him to julius who was a Straight A+ student) but it did make him harbor a slight resentment to his brother. He got over most of it when he was a little older.(key Word,most of it)
In highschool he was your average student,brilliant but he was fine with just having a C or a B.
Julius got all the dates,he wars the popular kid. (Look at him and tell me im wrong),Big nerd too but there was something about him. Amos was semi popular by proxy,however he kept to himself.
That did not stop the fact that he got his own little fan club (women and men alike) but he always found it a little weird.
Didnt date much in highschool, he was charming and a total Lady/Man Killer once he opened up though.
He decided to learn how to play the saxophone during his sophmore Year,his mom and dad were saving to Get him a tenor saxophone for his birthday.
Amos got to practice music in his highschool's band/music club and once he got a job he could afford classes.
I think their family was pretty middle class,so his parents were saving up for both of their kids college. Hence why Amos had to get a job.
His first job was a record store! And since he knew a lot about jazz and Music in general he got to Open the shop to more of an older demographic. Which brought in more costumeres
Both him and Julius grew up in the house of life as well, I think they lived in the 21st nome up to their early/mid 20s.
Another point of comparison for Julius and amos is that as we know,julius was better than amos in magic. Which just fed at the slight envy Amos had.
Amos still loves his brother very much,always did. But there has been a few times where his scorn has gotten the best of him,especially during fights between him n his brother.
But going back to his life outside the house of life...
Amos got a small appartment with his own money (..and magic) and he was the chillest neighborg you could ever Ask for. He had made sure the walls are insolated so he can play as loud as he can
Always took his trash out, always said hi when someone passed by. Chill ass dude.
He sometimes played on his balcony when he needed to get out his feelings and a lot of the neighborgs and passerbys would just sit and hear him play
The reason why Amos moved out,was becuase he needed to separate himself from his family and find who he was. Cheesy maybe but hes always been in his brothers,his family's, shadow.
Despite that,he did follow some rules of his family.
Always dressed the best he could, making sure he looks perfect (as Julius told Carter, being a black Man in the USA makes it so that you always have to act and look a certain way to not get in trouble/be considered at the same level ) . Was always polite (even if he had to swallow his anger), had to always speak perfectly (barely could use any AAVE, or slang).
It pissed him off, and rightfully so. Having to perform a way and whitewash himself just to be "accepted". However he only ever complained about this to his Friends,
And speaking of Friends,around them the Real Amos came out, hes hilarious and charming, incredibly kind and so very loving and protective.
Hes the designated driver most of the time, he is the one that his AFAB Friends have given him the rights to guard their drink (hes got a MEAN RBF AND WILL INTIMIDATE SOMEOME INTO RUNNING AWAY IF NEEDED)
Most alive on the dancefloor,mans can DANCE.
Has gone to an incredible ammount of gay bars, hes seen Julius in some of them and both have laughed it off. (I hc Julius as pansexual,theres nothing Straight in that whole bloodline)
He orders those fancy ass drinks, he loves them.
Those glasses he uses are actually sun glasses,helps Him with his light sensitivity (theres also nothing neurotypical in that whole bloodline either)
As stated in a previous hc in this list, he studied music. Balancing magician studies and uni PLUS WORK had Amos seriously seeing himself with grey hairs even before julius ever even thought about it.
Hes gotten a few pets in his life, a few cats,birds and dogs.
The first cat he ever got on his own was a little black cat he rescued from the streets on a stormy night when he was walking back from a late uni class.
He heard the cat meowling cuz it was cold and he grabbed the sweet kitten and put it underneath his suit jacket without previous thought.
He named the cat Amunet. (He knows its very egyptian of him,he finds It hilarious)
Amunet was his quality control with ppl,for some reason the cat was incredibly good at sniffing out ppl who werent the best company.
Iskandar took Amunet in when she got older and a lot more fragile, Amos was fine with it since he knew she would be in good hands.
And before I change subjects here lemme add this:
Amos always dresses in suits,that doesnt mean he doesnt have any normal clothes. He does,but he uses them indoors or when hes getting groceries.
One of his neighborgs knocked on his door to ask for something and they found Amos wearing a black shirt with a jazz bar's logo and some blue plaid pants.
That outfit had no bussiness fitting him that well and that neighborgs had to leave from how red they were.
I also hc he does his own hair, he uses bonnets And that hes got a whole routine for his hair.
Seeing amos in a bonnet is a treat
I also hc his "barrel chest" body comes from his father,Amos barely works out, and hes fine with being a little chubby. Adds to his charm.
During And after the events of TKC.
Amos loved ruby, they were really good Friends with eachother. And was devastated when she died.
Was fuming and furious when Iskandar forbid him from seeing his family.
He loves his niece and nephew with a passion,def was the cool uncle. He was so angry that he could see his family.
Partially the reason why he move back into the 21st nome. He felt like he needed to be close to his family somehow (I hc their parents died or retired somewhere before the events of the saga and left the 21st nome)
He sometimes would sneak to london to make sure sadie was okay, it pissed him off to see her being bullied or seeing her grandparents not take care of her hair (I want curly haired sadie)
He was devastated when the whole Julius-osiris thing happened. He blamed himself for not doing something more to stop Julius (even if there was nothing he could do)
Set's possesion fucked him up obviously,Set would taunt him with all the mistakes hes done in his life, his feelings of inediquacy or his own minor inferiority complex.
He obviously dealt with PTSD afterwards, he had vivid nightmares and would wake up crying and screaming. He couldnt even stand the color red or the deserts or any mention of magic for a good while.
He could barely eat and let alone shower or get out of bed. His hair was a GODDAMN MESS and sometimes Carter and sadie would help him out (he didnt like the kids doing that but theyre as stubborn as he is)
He couldnt do magic for a while,so he couldnt help in restoring his house.
He missed his family dearly after he went to heal to the first nome.
During book 2 he slowly rediscovered himself, he met a therapist that was part of the house of life and she gladly took him in as a patient.
He started making contact with Set during book 2, Henc why set looked the way he did in russia.
It started off as small things,practicing "chaos" magic. Set slowly appeared in his dreams, first he was an ass and then he...started to warm up to Amos.
Which means Set low key fell in love with Amos. Because have you seen him? (Dark mlm story do go brr)
Set and Amos fucked,Amos topped. Dont ask me, I just know it.
During book 3 he never in his life imagined himself as the chief lector. But he saw this oportunity as a way to make change.
He followed the path of set, and hes damn good at it. Set could never step out of line with him ever again, and it was the closure Amos needed.
Some of the qualities of set rubbed off on him, he started having a darker/more sarcastic sense of humor, has done some harmless pranks and his flirting game has improved,theres some smooth/dark suaveness about him now.
Hes bootycalled set at some point I think. Set doesnt speak of it and Amos finds it hilarious.
His nightmares arent as horrible as they used to be, he barely has them now. But on the off change he has them, he Will Walk around the first nome to clear his head, play his saxophone and go back to bed.
The kanes have big parties for the holidays, the whole family comes to these cookouts they hold (yes,even julius and ruby! )
During these cookouts the kids get to see their family loosen up, ruby,amos and Julius act like college kids around eachother. They share 1 braincell
Its a sight to behold. Truly.
Once,Julius and Amos got into a playfight (as siblings do) and both ended up In the pool,making Sadie and Carter both flabbergasted and with New blackmail material.
Ruby was laughing so hard, she also told the kids of the brothers misadventures. The never saw their dad and uncle the same way since then (un a good way)
More hcs that idk where to put them
When ppl ask how he got KHUFU he always gives everyone a different story just to fuck with them. But truth is that he doesnt know or remeber how he got them
Philips of Macedonia was actually Amunet's first toy. It was an alligator, so then when iskandar took the cat in,Amos started to toy with the idea of making him a shabti.
He is a flirty drunk, he also laughs a lot more.
As chief lector he doesnt get days off,but oh he does take them sometimes. He spends the time to reconnect with his college buddies, have some fun around brooklyn,that kinda thing
Teaches sadie how to take care of her hair,takes her to black salons in brooklynn.
Very good chef. Very good,better than julius (he holds it over his brothers head a lot)
Sometimes when Julius and Amos bicker,neither know if its bcs of them being siblings or bcs set and osiris are siblings. Or both.
He has gotten a parental attachment to Walt as well, both are happy w it but they dont know if theres not some god fuckery going around.
Hes terrified of spiders,so is Julius. Both Will either jump on things to avoid it or fireball it to oblivion. When asked about it both Will vehemently deny it.
He took a love for horror after he made his peace with set. He thinks its bcs of well, the whole shebang with set.
Was really close to fireball someone after that someone tried to touch his hair after he had freshly taken care of it. He maintains that it wasnt an exageration (And I support his desicion)
Knows spanish,dont ask how. He knows it
(This is me proyecting but im sure hes got a weakness for latine people. I myself im latine so!!!!!! I can say what I want on it!!!!!)
Hes amassed costumes from around the world, little tricks when cooking or dance moves or even little things like leaving his shoes at the door.
Hes the quiet chaotic type, as in he Will be plotting about all the little seeds of chaos he can plant for weeks on end. Theyre harmless, really.
Loooves spicy food. Its cannon that he couldnt help but laugh when Carter couldnt handle the spice.
Avoids the news like the plague, he does read the newspaper sometimes if hes really bored.
He also follows some music magazines and news channel.
Hes gone to some concerts and has taken Sadie and Carter to some (I hc sadie as a big Sleep Token fan)
He took Carter and sadie to the same jazz bar his mom took him
Played happy birthday on his saxophone for his niece/nephew's bday.
Doesnt want to have kids,and hes fine with it.
He had dumb petty fights with Julius when they were kids.
Their rooms were Next to eachother in the 21st nome. So imagine the Shenanigans
They did grow up in the 21st nome, it was their family's house after all. However they couldnt really invite non magicians over. They never brought anyone home
Ruby was the first ever outsider to set foot in there.
Clementine and the brothers father absolutely ADORED Ruby.
Uncle was the kids god-father. Always made sure the kids had everything they needed.
Bent over backwards for his nephew/niece. Always Will.
Big family Man, obviously
Tumblr media
