Hetalia Sleep Headcanons

Here, have my headcanons about how the Hetalia characters sleep because I'm still awake at this ungodly hour of the night.

🇮🇹Italy needs to cling to something to sleep well. Whether it be a pillow, a plushie, or another person, the poor guy needs something or someone there to cuddle.

🇩🇪Germany has really bad insomnia and can only get at most four or five hours of sleep a night, and that's if he's lucky. But when he does sleep, he probably sleeps on his back, still as the grave.

🇯🇵Japan also sleeps on his back and is so still and quiet that every now and then, someone comes by to check and see if he really is asleep and not dead.

🇮🇹Romano sleeps on his side with his arms sort of stretched outward, almost as if he's reaching for someone. That, or he's dreaming of beating someone up. You know, one or the other.

⚔️Prussia will lay down on his back and fall asleep that way. However, he's the kind of guy who moves around a lot in his sleep. So when he wakes up, he's sort of on his face and stretched out like a starfish.

🇪🇸Spain sleeps like a freaking baby and gets a full nine hours every night. Lucky son of a gun.

🇬🇧England has a pretty hard time quieting his mind down enough to get to sleep. So he spends his nights slowly sipping on a cup of tea to try and calm himself down enough to get some shut-eye.

🇺🇸America moves around, twists, and rolls over so often in his sleep that when he wakes up, he typically finds himself tangled up in his blankets. Sometimes, he accidentally rolls out of bed.

🇫🇷France can only sleep if the room is completely dark. Like, pitch black. He also sleeps on his side and sometimes hums a little in his sleep.

🇨🇳China has insomnia pretty bad and, as a result, will often find himself staying up at night drinking tea. When he can sleep, however, he sort of curls up into a ball under the covers.

🇷🇺Russia sleeps on his back and stays in that position the entire night. Sometimes giggles and smiles a little in his sleep.

🇨🇦Canada needs several layers of heavy blankets to sleep, as well as something or someone to cuddle.

🇩🇰Denmark sleeps on his side and has sometimes been heard singing in his sleep, though nobody has been able to make out what exactly he's singing. He also occasionally snores.

🇸🇪Sweden usually falls asleep whilst looking through Ikea catalogs. They seem to really help calm his mind.

🇫🇮Finland often smiles while he sleeps, sometimes even giggling a little every now and again. He also sleeps best when listening to some of the most intense, heavy metal you've ever heard.

🇳🇴Norway plays white noise and curls up into a ball under a couple of layers of thick, heavy blankets. He probably hugs a pillow, thinking of the days when Iceland used to call him big brother as a little kid.

🇮🇸Iceland can only get to sleep in total darkness and in total silence. He's also a light sleeper, so anybody walking around the room will immediately wake him up.

🇭🇺Hungary sleeps like an actual normal person. I really don't know how else to describe it. Though she has been heard saying some pretty weird crap in her sleep before.

🇦🇹Austria sleeps best if he has soft classical music playing. Unfortunately for him, Prussia hacked into his playlist and threw in some of Finland's heavy metal songs.

🇱🇮Liechtenstein is a fairly light sleeper. She's also afraid of the dark, so she typically has a nightlight somewhere in her room.

🇨🇭Switzerland is also another character with insomnia. This is because he is low-key paranoid about making sure the entire house is locked up before he goes to bed at night. He wants to make sure he and Liechtenstein are safe.

lovely & vincent headcanons 🧛⚡

“god, your kisses are fucking nuclear...”

for lovely's birthday one year, vincent bought them their dream car. he took them to the dealership and asked, "if you could have any of these cars, which one would it be?". he let them point at the car he knew they've always wanted, dropped the keys in their hand and said, "it's all yours." (lovely was in shock for days)

lovely always finds themselves falling asleep quite often around vincent. it's because they spend a lot of time in fight or flight mode subconsciously and he just makes them feel safe

literally saying "vincent, i'm tired" every time there's five seconds of silence

lovely and vincent are both horror movie/game wimps (grown ass vampires scared of pixelated ghosts)

vincent is always incredibly empathetic with other vampire's turnings (especially lovely's)

vincent was 100% ready to let lovely go if they didn't want to be turned. he would rather grieve them than have them talk to him the way he talked to william

their song is rewrite the stars by james arthur & anne-marie

lovely and vincent are always always around each other. where one is, the other is not far away even if you can't see them both (aside from work and stuff ofc)

they are always looking for one another in a crowd when they're rarely apart for two seconds

always touching too, even if they're arguing or not speaking to each other they're always holding hands or touching some part of the other's body

they wear each other's crowns sometimes

vincent is always slapping lovely's ass. and whenever lovely gets caught off guard, they release electricity from their body (even post turning) so vincent is always getting shocked but he refuses to stop

vincent's favourite hobby is kissing all over lovely's face or being corny to them (especially in public) just to embarrass them (because they get embarrassed very easily)

lovely hates it but they can't help but laugh when they're done hitting him

lovely loves ignoring vincent as a joke. not responding when he's being clingy or talking to them, pushing his face away when he's trying to kiss them, and saying "what's that noise?"

vincent enjoys finding new ways to get their attention, both innocent and nefarious

whenever lovely has nightmares, vincent always wakes up before they do. he can just feel their distress like it's his own, not even just because of the maker/progeny bond they have

vincent puts lovely's shoes and jewellery on for them whenever they're going out for date night, outright refuses to let them do it for themselves because he loves doing it so much

in turn, lovely always does vincent's eyeliner for him on a daily basis (he says they do it better than he ever could) ((bonus if lovely can never do eyeliner on themselves))

lovely and vincent are so obsessed with each other, they literally get jealous so easily. not because they don't trust each other, they just hate the idea of anyone touching/talking to their partner the way that they do

they love playing minecraft and animal crossing together in bed

after the summit, lovely was reliving the trauma that came with watching another vampire get their head ripped off/adam's name being brought up and they had a panic attack in vincent's arms the second the two could get a moment alone

the entire time the queen of the house of baz was talking to vincent, lovely was just staring at the ground while squeezing vincent's hand as they tried to fight off the panic. but when vincent finally got away from people, he pulled them outside to the car to get some fresh air while they cried and shook in his arms

their way of dealing with traumatic events/stress is just holding each other for a long time after it's over

vincent definetly gives lovely princess treatment (gender neutral) ((opening doors for them, putting on their shoes, foot massages, kissing them all over etc.))

vincent carries lovely around the house more than he lets them walk unless they have people over (they’d never walk anywhere again if vincent had his way)

they rarely ever ever fight. during one of their first and fights, lovely started crying because they got overwhelmed and vincent immediately backed up and started apologizing (and that only made them cry harder because they've never really been apologized to before)

vincent felt really bad for making them cry and held them while they did because that was the only thing they wanted (they finished the argument later without any tears) 

now, they argue once in a blue moon whenever they can't probably regulate their feelings about the situation. but they usually make up within ten minutes

vincent tickles lovely's sides whenever they're stretching (lovely is crazy ticklish)

lovely before they got turned was really prone to nosebleeds

lovely calls vincent ‘lovebug’ 

lovely loves painting vincent's nails (even though the smell is overpowering for both of them, it’s something lovely enjoys doing so he likes it too) 

lovely kissed vincent in the car before some fancy clan gathering for a little too long and he got hard immediately so they had to wait in the car for it to go down before they could go inside. lovely was making fun of him the whole time

vincent used to heal pre-turning lovely’s every cut and bruise even before they themselves noticed they had it (he still heals them if they haven't fed recently and can't heal as fast)

vincent really really likes pining lovely to walls (they can barely walk down the hall without him zipping up to them and pressing their hips into the wall before kissing them hard) 

vincent and lovely are both korean (they also both did dance and figure skating)

vampire don’t get sick easily (it’s actually quite hard for them to get sick) but when they do it’s bad. vincent and lovely are both babies with being sick

vincent and lovely cry about everything together (happy? tears. sad? tears. angry? tears. excited? tears. bored? you guessed it, tears.)

lovely's favourite thing ever is how dazed vincent gets whenever he says they smell good (which is basically all the time) he's literally sniff kissing them all over and pulling them closer to him

vincent loves kissing lovely more than anything ever

blowing each other kisses whenever one of them leaves the room

vincent was away for two days on a work trip and everyone who saw them said they had never looked so sad

clingy mfers

both of their love languages are physical touch and gift giving (+ quality time)

they bicker a lot about the most random things

always texting each other random little updates with no context like "porter's pissing me off" "what the actual fuck does _____ mean?" "are you coming home yet? hurry up" "i'm tired" "i need to punch someone" and sometimes it doesn't even lead to an actual conversation

always on the phone if one of them is away, sometimes not even talking or looking at their phone but it's comforting to know that the person they love is with them in some way

vincent took lovely to italy for their birthday because they mentioned wanting to go there all the time

lovely rented a huge mansion in the mountains for vincent's birthday so they could just. relax. and get away from everyone

they're THAT rich couple

Hello!~ I saw your request for asks and I must say I’ve been dying for Frank castle x reader or y/n or just like headcanons what not.. whatever you want! But specifically I saw your interest in ballet similar to mine so I couldn’t help but think of like Frank castle x ballerina. Like maybe he sees her through the windows of a studio, they could be neighbors? He could notice how light she is on her feet so he often doesn’t hear her coming.. stuff like that yknow?

Thank you!

I LOVE THIS IDEA SO MUCH! Ballet for me right now has been so hectic like literally spring DOUBLE show is hell. This is mainly gonna be headcannons/ how they meet! hope this is okay

♡Lets say Frank is your apartment neighbor. It's small, but cozy and god knows its a good price for a NYC apartment. The apartment below yours was vacant, so you could practice your jumps and leaps at a reasonable time. Frank could hear like a damn cat. He could hear the smallest of thuds, he wouldn't mind though since to him it only sounded like walking a bit more heavily once every couple seconds.

♡One day he would hear music coming from your apartment, classical. Frank didn't know the exact song but it sounded familiar. He liked the sound, eventually the music would be comforting for him just like silence. Though it made him more curious about his neighbor.

♡You two would see each other in the hallway of your apartment, usually when you were leaving. Your hair in a bun with your rather big bag slung over your shoulder. Frank and you would exchange "Hi's" and some times "how are you's". It was simple, you liked it, Frank liked it but sometimes he wanted a little more, so did you.

♡A cloudy day, one that would most definitely bring rain later, Frank stood outside some big company building, big window that he was leaning on instead of looking in. The rain started pouring down, Frank had cover though over the buildings bridge that led to the building across from him. Frank didn't want to be a creep, but he accidently peered in. Seeing ballerinas in the center of the floor, leaping, jumping, and one turn. But with that one turn he got a glimpse of your face. It was as if a lightbulb popped over his head, being pulled out of his thoughts as he saw the bus pulling up to it's stop. Frank hated public transport but his whole ride back he would be thinking about the grace you held yourself with.

♡One day Frank would be in his apartment, cleaning off the barrel of his gun or anything to keep him busy before he heard banging coming from your apartment. If it was any of the other tenets in the building he would just be annoyed by it, but this was your apartment and it sounded like a damn massacre. Or maybe you were just nailing a new damn shelf in but he would much rather he do it for you then potentially having you hurt yourself. Quickly getting up and knocking on your door. He heard shuffling then your door opened. "Oh! hi Frank- i'm so sorry I can cut the noise-" you started to apologize but Frank was just happy you were okay. "No, you're fine sweetheart- you need help with anything?" Frank said leaning a bit more into the conversation if to convince you to let him help. The question made you perk up, grabbing your pointe shoes that you had set down before opening the door off the table and holding them for Frank to see, which only made him raise an eyebrow "Oh uh..the shank needs to be broken in same thing with the toe part- that's why I was banging them on- actually do you have a hammer?" Then your explaining would continue for an hour while Frank would ask questions to entertain your knowledge.

♡Frank would be watering the plants the older lady a couple doors down had left on windowsill near the stairs, she'd ask Frank to water them for her while she's visiting her grandkids, and of course Frank said yes. So as he's watering them, he feels a hand tap his shoulder which made him jump and turn around "oh- hi sweetheart, you okay?" Frank would blow it off but scaring Frank Castle- let alone sneaking up on him scared the shit out of him.

♡Frank would soooo call pointe shoes 'toe shoes', like i KNOW he would, everyone in my family calls them that and whenever i say pointe shoes they look at me like i spoke another planets language.

What kind of music do you listen to when writing these hcs? Or do you lock in with pure silence and your own thoughts?

I love the way you explain your hcs for the mercs too, it makes a good appetizer & midnight snack <3

i will… literally listen to anything, lol! some of my posts get the oddest background noise.

recently i’ve been watching a lot of cinnamontoastken, and i caught up on distractible while i wrote a good portion of these.

i watch a lot of tf2 tiktok compilations just in case i look at the screen and get struck with inspiration by the mercs.

and sometimes i do just sit in silence and write, lol! but if i’m writing in silence it’s because i already know exactly where i’m taking a post, so it’s rare that that occurs.

i’d say music wise i probably listen to the stupendium and jt music the most often while i’m writing my headcanons. particularly (and this is only a little silly) meet the crew and the most fashionable faction. because of course i’m listening to tf2 fan songs while i write about the mercs! helps keep me in character!

but normally i’m listening to whatever strikes my fancy, and writing about whatever else strikes my fancy!

and thank you! if it makes you feel better i am now in a habit where i don’t go to bed until after midnight waiting for posts to drop so i can read them back to myself, haha!

miscellaneous jon facts, part three.      (   one,   two.   )

out of habit, flips to the front & back inside covers of every single book he picks up to check for a from the library of jurgen leitner stamp. immediately post a guest for mr spider incident he was much more thorough about this, checking each book (especially ones his grandmother brought back from charity shops on her weekly book-buying trips) at least a dozen times before daring to read a word, but by the time he’s an adult it’s an automatic reflex. he doesn’t notice he’s doing it at all.

i’ve said before that jon can’t cook but i think i’m reversing that statement. he can cook — he always felt (whether justified or not) that he had to earn his keep at his grandmother’s, so to speak, and overcompensated on any chores he was given, and eventually that included cooking meals when she was too tired to do so. he works best when going directly from a recipe and never really learned any family recipes or anything. his grandmother wasn’t the type to pass things down.

he doesn’t cook very much anymore. doesn’t make the time to make full meals & doesn’t see much point in cooking for himself if it’s something he could easily order instead. eats a lot of take-out when he actually remembers to eat in the first place.

which he’s. actually really bad about. jon gets extremely hyperfocused on work very frequently and doesn’t look up from what he’s doing for hours upon hours, and this, unsurprisingly, has some impacts on his eating habits!

#1 coping mechanism for anything is consistently denial. see someone get eaten by a giant spider from a book when you’re a kid? well, you always had an awful imagination anyways, but that memory should probably be repressed to all hell until you’re ready to deal with it, aka approximately never. best friend jumps off a cathedral and presumably dies while you’re in uni? have a week-long breakdown in which you obsessively search for any bit of information you can find and then force yourself to stop thinking about him entirely because hey, it’s finals week, you don’t have time to freak out. get a job dealing with the very supernatural entities that haunted your childhood? pshh, the supernatural isn’t real, there’s rational explanations for all of this. have a crush on your archival assistant? well clearly these complicated feelings are contempt because martin is so bad at his job, not the uncomfortable first stirrings of a crush.

i have a habit of like... i’ll write a muse a certain way. and then figure out something about myself. and realize i was projecting that thing onto my muse accidentally, without even realizing it applied to me as well. this happened w my anxiety and w my adhd and now it’s happened again with the newest addition to my trifecta of things that start with a. all this to say: jon autistic? jon autistic. i’ll expand on this at some point but i’m pretty sure i’ve been writing him that way already so

[ethereal-engene]

random habits

pairing: SEVENTEEN OT13 x self-insert/OC 

genre: fluff // warnings: brief mentions of nosebleed & blood

summary: random habits I do and their reactions

wc: ~930

note: purely self-indulgent and I couldn’t make it an x reader since ahaha these are my habits but I hope you enjoy :) // also this are obviously my opinions hence why they’re headcanons ✨ 

playing my music out loud

they would lower the volume or pause it. being around the other members to them while fun can definitely be loud so whenever they’re with you, they want to enjoy the silence. 

↳ Wonwoo, Minghao, Vernon, Jeonghan, Mingyu, Joshua, maybe Woozi & Hoshi

they would request songs from you. they enjoy listening to music with you whether it be chill or noise music. plus they get to see you dancing along to it & horribly singing along. they also most definitely dance with or along with you.

↳ Seungkwan, DK, S.Coups, Jun, Hoshi, and Dino

-----

laying on the floor

they’d ask if you’re okay and try to convince you to lay on the bed or something. slightly judge you for it. gives you a pillow that way your head doesn’t hurt from the hard surface. wonders why you do it so often but won’t question it.

↳ DK, Joshua, Vernon, Woozi, Jeonghan, Dino, Minghao, Mingyu, and Wonwoo 

they’d lay on the floor with you. maybe even bring you in closer to their chest. asks if you’re comfortable. questions why you do it so often as well but lowkey also enjoys the feeling too (of laying on the floor). drapes a blanket over you if you fall asleep. 

↳ Jun, S.Coups, Hoshi, Seungkwan (?)

-----

silently screaming and freaking out while reading a book

they’d come into the room and ask you what happened in the book. even though they’re used to it, they still find both annoying & cute that you freak about the smallest things that happen. nodding to show their attentiveness, they can’t help but sigh once you’re done; it’s not that they’re tired of it but they do sometimes wish you wouldn’t always scream as it scares them.

↳  Vernon, Woozi, S.Coups, Minghao, Wonwoo and Jun

they’d rush into the room and ask you what happened in your book. they love hearing you gush and talk about what happened. whether it be a small romantic gesture or kiss, they’d squeal about it with you. they might not even know what’s going on but they don’t care b/c seeing you excited about it makes them smile & giddy! 

↳ Mingyu, Joshua, Jeonghan, Seungkwan, DK, Hoshi, and Dino 

-----

using the phone’s flashlight to see in the dark & walk up/down the stairs even though there is perfectly good light switch to use

turns on the light switch for you. tells you to turn off your phone’s flashlight since it’ll drain the battery. chuckles whenever he sees you do this because you’ve been living in this place for years & still need the light to see - to be fair, you usually do this whenever you’re going up or down the stairs in fear you might trip or something. 

↳ Mingyu, Joshua, S.Coups, Woozi, Wonwoo, and Minghao, 

turns on their phone flashlight for you too. laughs at you for doing this (but not in a mean way) & thinks that it’s adorable that you do this. holds your hand or whatever you’re holding in your other hand. lowkey would playfully push you but then you know smoothly catch your hand if you’re about to fall. walks behind you in case you fall or something

↳ Jeonghan, Dino, DK, Hoshi, Seungkwan, Jun, Vernon

-----

putting songs that I like on repeat // this is also how I find out if I like a song or not

if they don’t like you playing music out loud all of the time, they definitely don’t love it when you do this. they might like the song but hearing it on repeat with you makes them slightly vexed. they won’t show that to you of course but they’ll try their best to avoid being the same area as you. or they might ask you to wear headphones. 

↳ Woozi, Wonwoo, Vernon, The8, Jun, Joshua, Jeonghan, 

even if they don’t love this habit of yours, they like vibing with you even though it’s the same song... they’ll make the most of it by creating little freestyle dances to the song. or jamming with you - having the hair brushes pulled out & singing along. they also love finding new songs to love and listen to, so this gives them a chance to find a new favorite song together. 

↳ DK, Seungkwan, Hoshi, S.Coups, Dino, and Mingyu

-----

re-watching performances, videos, and movies

they don’t necessarily understand why you love to do it so much but they’re chill with it. sometimes roll their eyes after finding out that you’re re-watching this movie once again. they don’t turn down an invite to watch something with you but they may not 100% be paying attention to it since they’ve seen it before. although, they might spend some time thinking about how this time could be spent in another way, they like seeing you happy. 

↳ S.Coups, Jeonghan, Hoshi, Seungkwan, DK, and Woozi

they have a better understanding of why you love to re-watch things as it brings you comfort and no matter how many times you’ve already watched it, it fills you with joy. they’re ready to re-watch said movie(s) with you, they even bring along blankets and pillows. after re-watching some of them with you, they understand why you love these so much. plot twist: these videos/movies become their favorite too. 

↳ Jun, The8, Joshua, Mingyu, Wonwoo, Vernon, and Dino

-----

rubbing & scrunching my nose

if you’re rubbing your nose, they’ll try to get you to stop since they know it can cause nosebleeds. when they notice that you’ve been doing it consistently, they’ll go find some paper towels or cloth ready in case blood does start coming out. whereas if you’re scrunching your nose out of random and they just happen to see it happen, they act as if they’ve been shot because it’s so cute. might even try to snap a photo of it too but are too distracted to remember. 

↳ actually all of OT13 but Jun, S.Coups, and Mingyu (the most??)

-----

doing either the point dance or pieces of the choreography that I remember for a song

they find it really funny and attractive. secretly records you and shares it with the group (with your consent). ask you where you learned that & responses vary from the music bank interviews or tiktoks. encourages you to learn the rest of the dance/choreography. may even ask you to teach them that point dance or parts you know

↳ S.Coups, Dino, Jun, The8, Hoshi, Vernon, Woozi, Jeonghan, Seungkwan, and Joshua

tries their best to not fall on the floor laughing because they find it the most precious thing ever. definitely asks you to teach them so that they can do it with you whenever that part(s) of the song comes on. also encourages you to learn the full dance. takes pride in the parts that you do know and hypes you up!

 ↳ Dino, Jun, The8, Hoshi (yes I know I repeated them but hey performance team go wild), DK, and Mingyu

thank you so much for reading this! I hope you enjoyed it even though it may not have not been applicable to you 

I enjoyed writing this and kind of needed a little break from the regular fic writing since I’m studying & have been feeling a loss of motivation to finish my spending with the week with ENHA series but I’ll finish it b/c I HAVEN’T EVEN WRITTEN FOR MY BIAS SUNGHOON YET 😭

please take care and much love to you <3 if you’ve read it to the end

signing off with love

The Woods of Indiana ficlet

I love to think about the “outsider perspective” of what happened in Hawkins. This sort of covers the first 2 Seasons. 

It’s very general and I added a headcanon of a hunter who got attacked by a demodog in Season 2. I love how eery the whole thing must be from the outside. 800 words. xo 

The woods of Indiana were vast. Old trees on old hills, rivers parting them. Lakes embedded, like scattered silver pearls. The wind brushing through the tree lines felt like the forest was breathing. Sometimes it whispered, sometimes it's breath rattled, like the last breaths of a dying deer. One could only wonder, what the trees witnessed over the years. They’re standing tall and dark. During storms the forest seemed to shout, the rain coming down on it soft but relentless, as if to appease the anger it displayed. During the day, especially in the spring months, the forests were a popular spot to hike and enjoy the bird songs and the reverent elegance of the forest. 

But at one point other, strange noises filled  the woods during the nights. Screams echoing. And sounds that didn't quite seem human. There was barking, snarling, screeching. Low rumbles. They sounded like a big predator. But not quite animal either. It sounded like things hunting and things dying.

At some points, the birds would just stop singing, residents of the trailer park noticed. It became silent. Eerily so. Like the calm before a storm, but there was no storm. 

Some residents of Hawkins had an uneasy feeling about the woods. It wasn't strictly because of that young girl who vanished. It also wasn't the kid who died and came back. It was more like some sort of raw instinct, that clawed its way into their bellies and left shivers on their spine.  A feeling, like something wasn’t quite right. 

They had a funeral for the boy who vanished, back then in autumn. His body was found in the quarry one night in 83′. Yet, the boy somehow returned to the living, after people cried at his grave. He was pale and disturbed and just...different. “Mistakes like this can happen.”, said a police statement.

It was another kid's body they found in the quarry, or so they say. Another kid, dead. Nobody ever found out who the other dead kid was. The Byer's kid got lost in the woods and found his way home, all by himself, they said. The kids a queer, they also said. And afterwards he became more weird. His mother and brother always on the edge. Father a deadbeat. 

Some people joked, that he really looks like he came back from the dead. The jokes were usually followed by uncomfortable silence. The mother lost her marbles somewhere in the process of grieving and regaining her youngest. But some say, she never was quite alright anyway. The good people of Hawkins followed that statement with “but who am I to judge.”

The way the news reported, made sense, at first. Everyone likes to learn about a tragedy but then go back to their own uneventful lives. Poor Holland's. Poor Byer's kid, all pale. A tragedy.

Apparently Macy Anderson's husband, who was a dedicated hunter, came back from the woods one night, trembling and stuttering. He had a peculiar bite wound on his right foot. Whatever he was hunting, hunted him right back. And he also knew, it wasn't an animal. He'd recognize any bitemark. When someone asked him about it, he'd shake his head, his voice was trembling. “Nah, that's aint no mountain lion bite or nothing...it was different. And I’ve been in these woods all my life.” He'd stare into the middle distance while talking. 

In the beginning Mr.Anderson said, demon dogs ascended from hell, came home to haunt him, for what he did in the war. But he changed that answer, after people started laughing at him. He started staring into the middle distance more often. Haunted. Eyes empty. 

“I’ve seen awful things. Terrible things, in the war. But this is something else.”, he’d say. 

His wife said, something changed about her loving husband. He had this incredible fear, every noise made him twitch. His eyes looked like he was a deer in the headlights, about to get hit.  When his wife tried to talk to him nothing made sense. Dogs from hell. In the end he was obsessed with the thought, that the hell hounds were the cause of all the pumpkins rotting, drawing in thousands of flies. Healthy, living trees decaying out of nowhere. The stench filled the air. He was hell bent on it. 

“That wasn’t Eugene poisoning Merrill’s farm. No human could do something so sinister.”, he’d tell everyone who would listen. People laughed. 

In the end Mr. Anderson took his own life, with his rifle. That was a tragedy too.

Soon after, a story broke the news. There was a chemical spill from Hawkin's lab. It killed the Holland's daughter. Apparently they tried to cover it up. That also explained the change in the environment. The news made sense. The police statements made sense. Maybe Mr.Anderson, had a dose of that aswell. It was no consolation to the widow.  The Holland’s were crushed. The cold certainty of death drowned every bit of hope they worked so hard to keep up during the last months, looking for their daughter. In the end they even fell for a Quack called Baumann, who pulled money out of their pockets, promising to find Barbara. 

Most residents were shocked, but somehow relieved about the news of the chemical leak. It was something easy to understand.  But the eery feeling about the wood stayed.

After all of that, an urban myth started to make the rounds through young people. About tunnels under Hawkins, that were a direct gateway to hell. Mr.Anderson didn’t kill himself. One of the hellhounds came back and ate him alive. 

Later, people wouldn't laugh about it anymore. Something was happening in that town. In 85′ the stench of death filled out the town once again. This time around it was harder to ignore. And it became harder to ignore after that.

munday meme ** accepting

3. Who are your longest rp friends?

oh mannn. tbh that would be my real life bestie who I’ve known since preschool in the early 90s and started writing Sailor Moon RP with in high school. late night Saturday AIM chats, baybee!! 

Online-wise I have a few people I still talk to from each fandom I’ve written on tumblr (not so much some forum RP in the interim), but the first would be the Akihiko/Yukari/MC crew that came together while writing FeMC in Persona 3 since about... 2015? 

And the oldest in this fandom would be Aura/ @stormflowerhonor / @boundariestcbreak who was the first person to write with me here, and not long after, people like @littleblackqrow , @sunlit-feathers ( @teamxstrq at the time), @starfallandsilver , @courtclover , yourself! , @storyspun , and @caeloservare.  When I’m used to RP blogs only lasting about a year (and myself usually moving on after about two) it’s sometimes crazy to believe we’re still all around! I’ve also made plenty more since, but that was the first bunch. 

18. What is one thing you’d wish to see more in the rp community?

interaction with headcanon posts. I know most of the point is to just get our own thoughts in order. I treat the blog like a sketchbook. Not every post has to be a big thing, but if it’s an involved meta or headcanon post, it’s nice to know that partners have at least seen it, so they know that about my portrayal. it’s even better to get commentary and questions and some back and forth!! 

I feel like some people don’t want to intrude, and I know others are more restrictive about who they actually do want interacting, but I’m more of an open person and really like the interactive and community aspect of both ic and ooc stuff! Let’s hype each other up!

20. Do you need music/noise to write or do you prefer silence?

depends on the day. sometimes there’s a song i’m basing a response on, or if i’m writing up a musing post about it, and i’ll play that one thing on repeat until i finish. sometimes i’ll play my character’s playlist - certain songs for a mood, or just on shuffle, other times i’m really overstimulated already and need silence to be able to focus. often i’ll go back and forth - playing a song for awhile to get into a headspace, and then shut it off to focus on writing. 

[honey-dewey]

Random Dewey Finn headcanons (?) I came up with while eating my breakfast

Before Dewey wanted to be a big rock star, he wanted to be an astronaut. 

His aunt gave him his first guitar for his 10th birthday, thus sparking his love of rock music. 

One of the major reasons he never quit music was because of that aunt. She passed away early, and was constantly the only member of his family that truly believed in him. 

Dewey’s mum was kind of absent, so he was raised primarily by his dad. 

Dewey and Ned met on the first day of high school, and were inseparable for all four years. 

Despite both of them liking both, Dewey likes Star Wars more, while New prefers Star Trek. They have debates of epic proportion over which of these preferences is better. Dewey somehow always wins. 

One of the reasons Ned let Dewey live with him is because Dewey is an amazing cook. He never eats what he makes though. 

His specialty is breakfast foods

While he may be an amazing home cook, he’s an even better baker. 

Dewey is highly sensitive to textures, especially food and fabrics. 

Because of this, he rarely tries new foods, sticking to a decently firm schedule. (He really likes hard boiled eggs) 

It’s also why he likes sweater vests. The actual sweater doesn’t touch his skin, but he can rub his hands up and down the knit when he gets overwhelmed. 

He’s also sensitive to criticism. Along with that, he cries easily. 

After the whole School of Rock incident, Dewey did some quick online classes on teaching. When a music teacher position at Horace Green opened up, he was the first one contacted to fill it. 

During SoR shows, Dewey has a tendency to get very hyped, and this eventually leads to a collapse, usually on the bus ride home. It happened once on stage, where he just went still and quiet all of a sudden and then began to panic. 

All of his kids know exactly what to do during his collapses. 

They made him (yes made him) a stress doll. It weighs about twenty pounds and looks like a panda. They lay it across Dewey’s chest and let him lie down on a blanket. The kids then surround him to make a protective barrier. It’s a very effective method. 

It took almost thirty years for Dewey to get diagnosed with mild autism, anxiety, ADD, and seasonal depression. His mother was a firm believer that mental illness was a hoax. 

He did try and take medication for it, right when he started teaching full-time. It made him nauseous and tired and so unlike himself that he quit after three months, a decision that was fully backed by his students. 

He eventually did go back and get a new prescription for his ADD. It works surprisingly well and doesn’t make him act any less like himself. 

This isn’t even a Headcanon. It’s straight up actual canon from the Broadway.com Stick it to the Man video! Dewey stims! He knocks his wrists together and does the raptor hands! (I don’t think his hands were truly by his side at any point during the entire show) He taps his feet and shakes his hands! His facial expressions are always on 10 and he scronches his face when he’s excited! His head go bop! He’s a stimming Boi!

Also have you ever seen a neurotypical person dress like that? Ever? Nope. Sweater vests and jeans and sneakers (that look like heelys) is not a neurotypical outfit. 

Dewey doesn’t like rainy weather, nor does he like the cold bite of winter. He has a heater and a happy light in his classroom for rainy and/or cold days. 

His favorite season is fall. He really really likes to step on leaves and hear that satisfying crunch. 

Dewey also has a weakened immune system, and is pretty vigilant about his health. He takes vitamins and vitamin D supplements, and yet always ends up with some kind of illness in winter. Despite this, he refuses to get any kind of flu shot. 

Dewey’s list of phobias includes: needles, heights, clowns, and the dark. 

He’s dead terrified of the dentist. Ned has to practically drag him every time. It’s not even that he has poor dental hygiene or has actual odontophobia, he just hates the experience. The combination of strong smells and uncomfortable touches and horrible noises overwhelms him so much. 

For much of the same reasons as his hatred of the dentist, Dewey dreads getting his hair cut. Social interaction mixed with weird feelings on his surprisingly sensitive head and the constant background noise and the hair spray-y smell make it an experience Dewey’s hated since childhood. Now, Ned usually cuts Dewey’s hair because he’s really not picky about how it looks, and Ned knows exactly how to go about the job without causing Dewey to hyperventilate and cry. 

He uses a night light! It’s the fun kind that projects stars on the ceiling. 

Dewey is the king of field trips. He’s always just as eager as the kids to go, and he loves to learn niche facts. His favorite field trip location is the aquarium. 

Dewey quit drinking after his 23rd birthday, when he blacked out and woke up in some random girl’s bed. She promised they didn’t do it, but ever since then, he’s terrified it’ll happen again. 

Speaking of which, Dewey’s a virgin. 

Once, one of Dewey’s female students came to him and said an older man was following her to and from school every day. Dewey was later suspended from work for a week for punching a man and putting him in the hospital. Once they knew why, the school board unanimously decided not to punish him. 

Dewey absolutely insists all of his kids call him Dewey and not Mr. Finn. 

He’s the most supportive teacher in the entire school. He’s got name tags on every desk with each kid’s preferred name and pronouns. When Billy comes out as non-binary, he makes the pronoun switch immediately and puts a beautiful stained glass-esque progress pride flag in one of his windows. 

Someone hatefully vandalized said pride art project and Dewey actually cried. His kids all banded together to make a new one. 

Sometimes, the kids purposefully ask Dewey to sing certain things because his voice gets so damn tender and beautiful, as opposed to the usual bombastic singing they’re used to. (Think like. Some of the 35MM songs) 

Dewey has a routine with his drinks throughout the day. Two cups of coffee in the morning, one at home and one at work. One water bottle before lunch and one after lunch. A Gatorade or some other fitness drink after school, usually during band practice to make up for how sweaty he gets. And one cup of lavender citrus tea with extra honey after dinner. 

He broke his only water bottle about four months into teaching full-time and started to use a plastic one every day. Ned decided that wouldn’t do, and got him a Mandalorian water bottle. Dewey loves it to bits. 

Dewey doesn’t celebrate any one version of a holiday. He’s equal opportunity for any and all holidays, but he grew up Jewish. That doesn’t stop him from helping Ned put up his Christmas tree every year. Nor does it stop him from celebrating Yule with his online friends. 

Despite being Jewish and mainly celebrating their holidays, Dewey loves Christmas music and starts playing it as soon as he can. The kids dare him to hit those ridiculous Mariah Carey high notes in All I Want For Christmas. He does it. 

He also once sang ‘Little Drummer Boy’ to his kids the day before holiday break. He only played his guitar softly and by the time he was done, each and every kid was fast asleep. (He played Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer as well) 

Dewey absolutely collects soft blankets. He has four halloween ones, two Tim Burton ones (a Beetlejuice and a Corpse Bride), eight winter holiday blankets, and three miscellaneous. He brought them all into class once and built a blanket fort to teach his kids about ancient civilization. 

Speaking of which, his teaching methods are unorthodox at best, and at worst downright crazy. But he always teaches and he always makes it memorable. His class has the highest test scores in the school. 

Dewey usually teaches using music or hands on activities. He plays soft background music during every class no matter the circumstances, and said screw the building’s lights and uses primarily lamps and strings of Christmas lights. 

He also kind of forgets that he teaches essentially middle school, and he swears every so often when he’s super passionate. Like when he taught the kids about the US Presidents and called Andrew Jackson a racist bitch and Richard Nixon a lying bastard. 

After getting bullied throughout all of high school, Dewey came to terms with what his body looked like, and now he really doesn’t care. (He did have a lot of fun smashing the scale his mother got him for his birthday once) 

Dewey was supposed to teach his kids about mental illness for a suicide prevention thing the school did, but got about halfway through before he had a breakdown and the kids declared the rest of the day a bust. They watched cute animated movies instead of learning for the rest of the school day. 

Speaking of animated movies, Dewey really loves Studio Ghibli. 

The first time one of his kids called him ‘Dad’ he cried. Then they kept doing it and now he’s had to accept that he’s basically a father to about 30 11-year-olds. 

If you ask any kid in the school who their favorite teacher is, they will not hesitate to answer ‘Mr. Finn.’ Even if they aren’t in his class, he’s their favorite. 

Dewey’s classroom is always open for lunch. It’s quiet and calm, usually with a movie going in the background. 

He also stays after school for about an hour every day, helping kids with homework. He hates math with a passion but that didn’t stop him from trying to figure out Katie’s math homework with her. 

Even at home, Dewey cannot stand the quiet. He either has his headphones on or the radio going. Silence just isn’t an option. 

Dewey once got pneumonia and tried to come in to work anyway. The kids made him go home. He didn’t really put up much of a fight. 

The first instrument Dewey ever learned to play was the piano. He started to learn when he was super young, and that was how he learned how to read music. His kids didn’t even know he knew how to play until they walked in on him practicing one day. 

Dewey says ‘fuck gender roles’ and wears the girl’s skirts to a few SoR concerts. He likes the way it makes his legs look. 

Some jerk parents constantly tried to get Dewey in trouble for months because they didn’t like him and thought he wasn’t ‘high class’ enough for their kid’s education. Dewey was so stunned when they showed up during one of his classes that he couldn’t speak and just started to cry. Said student stood up and called their parents out. Two days later, those parents were off the school board. 

Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, Dewey found out a new kid he’d received was being abused at home because they weren’t getting high enough grades and he yelled at the kid’s parents in front of all the other staff members. 

Essentially, Dewey can’t defend himself at all, but will not hesitate to protect his kids. 

Dewey has said multiple times he would die for his kids. He’s always 100% serious, especially during lockdown drills. 

Once, the school had a lockdown that wasn’t a drill, and Dewey managed to keep his entire class silent and calm while mentally preparing himself to lay his life down for his kids. Thankfully, it didn’t come to that. 

Dewey’s also said he’d seriously consider adopting any of the kids if their at-home situation was that bad. 

When he finally could, Dewey moved out of Ned’s house and into his own cramped loft apartment. He’s in love with the apartment, even though it’s tiny and kinda smells. 

Dewey has almost no concept of volume control. He’s slightly deaf from constantly doing very loud shows and sometimes shouts because he thinks that’s a normal speaking volume. 

As one of, if not the actual, youngest teachers at the school, Dewey is universally adored by the rest of the staff. It took a while for all of them to get on board with him, but now they all really like him. 

Dewey’s favorite fruit is pomegranate. There’s just something super cathartic about cutting into a pomegranate and slowly de-seeding it. Plus, it tastes super good. But he only likes them if he can de-seed them himself. 

One of the ways Dewey grounds himself is by pressing things to his mouth. He usually just puts his hand up on his face or the end of a pen in his mouth, but whenever he has a blanket, one corner is up against his lips. The same goes for stuffed animals. They’re always against his face. Most of the time, he doesn’t even know he’s doing it. 

[twisted-imagines]

Sup! Can you write headcannons about silver and a s/o with insomnia if you’re not busy?

Yay! First requests! Hehe I'm happy~

A small scenario and general headcanons are coming your way, precisely because I have a lot of free time right now~ There's not much information on Silver right now, but I tried my best. Thank you veeery much for requesting, I hope I was able to write this piece to your liking. Please enjoy!❤ (You can also send me anonymous asks now, in case any of you feel more comfortable that way.)

Silver and a s/o with insomnia

There it was again. Your mind was buzzing with thoughts like a beehive again, despite your body being near it's limits after the long day. Even though your eyes were hurting as if they were thrown at least a kilo of sand at, you still couldn't close them and rest. Instead you were looking at the face of your dear boyfriend, quietly sleeping beside you. You spent your free day together, mindlessly walking through the college grounds, eating at cafeteria, watching birds at the square, listening their joyous songs and just enjoying each other's company. It was a perfect date, you couldn't help but smile a little remembering it and how Silver almost fell asleep several times. You used to be offended, it made you question whether you were that boring, but with time you learned that there was nothing malicious behind it and started to admire this trait of his.

Maybe you were even a tad bit jealous of it, as you lay in the bed in his room, where he invited you to absentmindedly at the end of the day. He didn't lie, about how he wouldn't attempt anything, falling asleep as soon as his head hit the pillows, which left only you wide awake and unable to sleep.

Silver was very pretty like that, you had to note: his chest was rising in steady rhythm; soft lips, you kissed them today plenty of times, permitted only the quietest of snores out; his face completely relaxed. If you didn't know better you would think a silverhaired angel was sleeping near you. Your restless mind grew quiet just a bit observing Silver, but that wasn't satisfying at all, not if you wanted to get up to your classes tomorrow. You signed crestfallen, and shifted for ninth time that night to try and find a better pose, that would hopefully allow you to sleep.

Maybe it was the sound of your distress, the movements on the bed or his own intuition, but Silver woke up from his dreams to see you frowning and fidgeting, clearly not sleeping at all.

"Hey, [Name], are you asleep? "

His voice was nothing more than a whisper, but your eyes snapped open instantly, and that's when he knew something was wrong. Still groggy from waking up at the middle of the night, the boy moved closer to you, his hands slowly hugging you to his chest. You felt a warm peck on your forehead.

"Why 'r u 'wake? Nightmare?"

His words were slurred, said in a sigh, but they held comfort and care like none other.

"Can't fall asleep. I have nights like that often."

Your own words sounded harshly to your ears, not like your boyfriend's feather light questions, who grunted in response to let you know that he heard what you said. For a few moments there was a complete silence, and you, somewhat sadly, thought that he had fallen asleep once again, but instead Silver rose up together with you. You could see how he was struggling to chase away the sleep and it definitely didn't sit right with you.

"What are you doing?! If you wake up right now, you may not fall asleep later!"

You whisper scolded him, since it was not in your plans to make one more person suffer from lack of sleep that night.

"Heh, believe me, that's the least likely to happen with me of all people. "

With you in his firm, but gentle grip, Silver sat on the bed and looked curiously at the clock on his nightstand.

"Wow, it's already so late... Early? If you hadn't fallen asleep by now, remaining in the bed won't help. Let's go~"

The boy yawned before getting up and taking his coat from the chair. To your unvoiced question "Where to?" he replied:

"Outside. I remember reading it from somewhere, that a walk and fresh air can help sometimes. Come on, give me your hand."

The warmth of his hand encompassing yours, and his caring worlds nearly made you, so tired and frustrated, cry, but you followed his lead out of the room and to the hallway.

It was considerably colder there; not enough to make you freeze, just to freshen up a little, not to mention the cozy coat that Silver has thrown on your shoulders when you exited his room. The Diasomnia dorm was a different sight at night, still as solemn and majestic, with mysterious atmosphere, but the magic curling at the empty corridors, crawling on the floors, slipping around the corners, evading the green light of magical lanterns was almost palpable. Were you alone, you would scramble back to the room, the oppressing aura of the dorm was too much for you, and that meant something coming from the person, who lived in the infamous Ramshackle dorm. But with Silver at your side, your hand in his, you felt more at peace, not as fearful of descending further into the darkness of Diasomnia hallways.

When the boy stopped walking and moved to open the window, you understood where you had been led to it. It was a spacious balcony in one of the towers. It had a spectacular view, allowing you to take in the image of dorm grounds at night.

You could never imagine it to be so grandiose under the moonlight. The scenery looked straight out of a fairy tale. You neared the window in awe, your tiredness and bad mood were taken away with the heavy blow of wind. You shivered a little, but soon felt warm hands embrace you from behind. Silver's torso was against your back, and his chin was resting on your shoulder. He didn't say a word, most likely slowly falling asleep, just like he always did when he peacefully held you in his arms. You were his haven, a person who brought peace to his heart no matter what, with whom he could always feel himself comfortable and relaxed and he genuinely wanted for you to experience it too.

"Does it happen very often?"

His question was nearly carried away with the wind, before you heard it thought the state of serenity you were currently in. A deep sigh escaped you.

"Almost every night. Even if I fall asleep fast, I wake up at night and just wait for the morning, it's impossible to return to sleep. It's very tiring..."

It pained him to no end to see you so distressed, he couldn't bear to see his loved one hurt. He asked you a few other questions, determined to pry more details.

He made a resolution to learn more about the ways he could help you, maybe about remedies not traditional to you, especially in the field of magic. If he, a wizard from the Diasomnia, couldn't help you, surely an immense mistake was made in the dormitory's description, and it didn't hold the most proficient at magic personalities. Silver hugged you even closer placing a kiss to your temple. His voice was like a lullaby in your ear.

"When you're in pain, or struggling with something, I want to know about it. So, please, from now on, tell me about it, okay? I want to help you in any way I can. I'm your boyfriend after all."

His last replica embarrassed you to no end, even more than the following kiss to your cheek. So cheesy, yet so sweet, you didn't manage to keep yourself from laughing out loud. Compared to how nonchalant he sounded before, you could hear how bashful Silver became right away. You wanted to see his face so bad at the moment, but he prevented you from turning around, tightening his grip even more.

"Suddenly laughing like that...Was it so funny to you? Geez..."

A thud at your shoulder inspired an even funnier picture in your mind of a white cat burying it's head in it's paws. Nobody said anything anymore, relishing in the presence of the other. Calming melody of the wind and Silver's warmth started to lull you bit by bit. Your eyelids became just a bit heavier, mind pleasantly silent for a change.

"Think you can rest now? Not like you have left a lot of time, but it's better than nothing."

You heard Silver's voice and nodded. One way or another, tomorrow will be a hard day for you, but this impromptu walk improved your mood quite a bit.

"Sure. Let's head back. But before that-"

Silver, who was half-asleep at that point could only smile at the feeling of your lips on his.

"Thank you, Silver."

The boy in question only grumbled, before his weight started to slowly slide down on you.

• No need to mention, how exhausted you were, after Silver refused to wake up at any cost and you had to drag him back to his bed. You fell asleep from the complete lack of energy that night, and while it was not what Silver intended, you were able to survive at least to the end of morning classes.

• The boy himself was present at his own classes only on physical level, though nobody was surprised enough by that sight to question what he was doing at night. Gladly, he recovered enough energy to spend it on something he swore to do last night - learn more about your insomnia.

• He browses through books, internet resources and goes as far as asking Malleus and Lilia about the ways he can help you.

• While he does gain a lot of useful(and a few misleading ones from Lilia) advices, he still integrates some classic habits to his routine with you: he prepares beverages like hot cocoa or milk for you, cuddles and massages you when you stay at his room.

• He doesn't mind you shifting in bed or causing some noise when you sleep together, but he's also not best at keeping you company at night time, even if he sincerely wants to sometimes.

•He tries to help you with your studies as much as he can, searching for his old notes or revising the material together with you. Though it sometimes leads to you reading and explaining your exam themes to a completely clocked out Silver... You don't hold it against him.

• While he's your complete opposite in sleeping routine, he's very sympathetic and worries about you. Silver is completely understanding of how you may not have energy for anything at times, your health takes priority to him.

• If he notices your insomnia getting worse he won't shy away from using the spells Malleus shared with him. As long as it's of any benefit to you, he's not going to withhold it. But those are still drastic measures, and he discusses it with you prior.

• Being the one awake most of the time, you help him to stay conscious at crucial moments, and search for him, when you suspect that he has fallen asleep somewhere he shouldn't and he's thankful for that.

THE ONE WHERE WE ARE COMFORTABLE

WTN WEEK 2021 → day seven (episode seven) Hiiii friends so I decided to talk about things that bring me comfort and for me the thing that brings me the biggest comfort is the friends I've made on this board. I spend my time talking to these four basically allllll day long. If you can guess by the graphic above on who is who, but they have become some of my best friends so *drum roll* please and let me tell you about the people i consider to be my f.r.i.e.n.d.s.

MY LOBSTER Apparently, I am someone who when they find someone they mate for life. When I latched onto Elle I latched on and didn't (lol won't) let go. Like when I say she is my person I mean it with every fiber of my being. She is the soulmate. My wife. My lobster. She is like that perfect pair of sweatpants that you know are dependable and can count on and you don't want to let go of. She's like the television show that you need to put on because you've had a bad day. She's the first person I call when disaster happens. When I am having a bad day she is the first person I want to talk to and 10/10 she can say something to make it better.

We laugh until we cry and she likes to yell at me... but 9/10 I do deserve it. So, it is valid. If you see me flirting with her on the server (no you didn't) it's mostly because I can't help myself. So... just divert your eyes. It's very cliche to say that your life has changed after meeting someone, but that's what it has done. I am a better person for her, I'm more mindful, more open, and I don't think there isn't a person on this board who wouldn't say that Elle hasn't changed them for the better. It is who she is. She leaves you with something to think about, she challenges you. She pushes you. She has a heart for those who are misrepresented and misunderstood. I swear if Elle had her own talk show I'd listen to it every day. The girl is *passionate* and that is one thing I can't help but love about her. She is passionate about diversity, about the people on this board, I have watched her struggle with some hard decisions this year and how it has affected her mentally, but she also rises from the ashes because she has to. I have watched her countless times put this site above her own needs. I have watched her struggle. I have watched her doubt (herself and her future) and I have watched her wonder if she is doing the right thing. I have watched her feel remorse and pain and I'm telling you if you do not think Elle cares about WTN and everyone on this board then you've not seen her struggle the way that I've seen her struggle. It's probably why I'm so damn protective of her, but I don't regret a single second of it.

Okay, I've spent this whole time talking about how great Elle is but I've not spoken about the writing. I've run out of room... her writing is amazing, she is the one person I can respond to no matter what day I'm having and no matter what ship it is. I love all of our threads and I'm always so happy and excited to see an elle reply in my alerts waiting to be read and responded to! I find it hard to wrap them because they are just so good! If I have a day where I don't feel like doing replies good chance I'll still pull up an Elle reply because it normally makes my day better 99.99999% of the time. The .1% doesn't exist, but it's including the slight possibility of error and the fact Elle will have something to refute that claim with.

THE GIRL I'D MOVE FURNITURE WITH I don't think there is anyone else I want around my side to do some of the heavy lifting and I don't mean that in the physical sense, but in the writing sense and the mental sense too (tho I don't need to see Kae in real life to know that she's strong). You know that saying about people who struggle in silence. I think that describes Kae because sometimes it's like using a crowbar in getting her to open up and to TALK. It is one of the most frustrating things. It's kind of like a treasure box when you have the box sitting right in front of you and it is impossible to open. Okay, half the battle was finding it. You have the map in front of you and when you finally find it, it is STILL locked. That's Kae. It was quite the struggle in getting her to be open to more plots like I knew where to find and how to find her, but actually getting to Kae felt impossible even though I had all of the directions in front of me. But once you put in the time and effort to get to know her.... like *really* know her, it's like discovering treasure. Not only is she one of the most dependable writers (like I said she will carry the heavyweight in all of her threads), but she is one of the best writers! I love reading her threads even if I'm not in them, they always leave me on the edge of my seat and that characterization *chef's kiss*. MAKES JOKES WITH BC HUMOR IS BAE Oh you know the one who tells the jokes when they are uncomfortable. It is a friends reference and the only one I could think of when I thought of Aria. She makes me laugh. She probably makes me laugh more than anyone especially during WTNWeek because of these videos. When I say read something in an Aria voice I mean it! She isn't really that awkward!! But I'm sure she'll say differently so YOLO. Aria doesn't know a stranger, she pops into your DMs and suddenly it's like you have known her all of your life. We have not known one another as long as I have known Kae and Elle, but she fits in so well. Her writing is beautiful and I love how she is in my DMs daily with inspiration for our ships. I started out with zero Aria ship and Aria made two new characters just to have ships with me and I love her for that. I can gush about how amazing she is because she is one of those people who will provide you comfort. If she knows you are having a bad day, she will send you something to make you smile and she'll remind you that she loves you. And I can't even tell you how having those videos during WTNWeek has made my days a little bit better! If I'm feeling frustrated or sad I just turn one on and it has made my day ten times better. It's funny how she is young, but she is kind of my teacher. She sends me videos to help me when I don't understand something and I am SORRY Aria because you've had to send a lot of videos lately, but I don't think the staff could have made a better decision in asking Aria to hop on board. She is always so helpful and the thing is -- she *wants* to help. She wants to pitch in. She always puts her best foot forward and I love that. And cand we talk about those posting and organization skills #swoooon MY SMELLY CAT In reality I am probably singing this song to Jasmine, but I feel like you'd join in sooo here we go. I wanna preface and say I am not calling Bela a smelly cat! But she speaks in references I don't understand sometimes and sometimes she talks about these weird noises she makes so I think this description is perfect for her. Bela came into WTN and I normally have trust issues BUT I trusted my gut and Prudy is one of my favorite characters on the board. We have been trying to get her cousin on board for as long as I can remember. Prudy deserves all of the good things so I really wanted Bela to stay on board. I threw her practically everything I could think of and I am so glad I did because it has allowed us to get close over the years.

Bela and I have created some fun dynamics over the years between readie being the superior of them all, but we also created dynamics that I never expected to create like Manny, Sieun, and Dylya. They have come to be some of my FAVORITE pairings. It's kinda funny we often joke about how we only have one ship on the board, but it feel like we have a billion. Bela always enjoys sending me music, it's like when she knows I need some writing music, and that's part of the ways she fits into my comfort. Bela is a listener. She listens and she is one of those people who are easy to talk to. I enjoy sharing headcanons and future headcanons and character ideas that we won't create but would like to! I like that she is open and she is honest with me - if she is having a bad day then she'll let me know. But I also think we've talked so much that I can just tell.We are comfortable with one another and I absolutely LOVE it.

I know confetti has been going on for a while, but there are not many people you write with and write WELL with but I have found multiple people I LOVE writing with and I absolutely LOVE talking to. I have found my person (lol more like loml), my partner-in-crime (like if I'm going to go to jail I need her in my corner), my cheerleader (and child), and my ship in the night (lol, we gotta be on at the right time and at the right time to talk).

Musically Inclined

AN: Just writing a headcanon of mine. And also, happy birthday Kuroko!

“What the hell…?”

Kagami stared. And stared. And stared again. And when the scene before him did not change, that was when he knew he wasn’t hallucinating or something. It was definitely Kuroko. No mistake about it. 

Kuroko who was currently sitting on a stool in front of a large crowd of people, strumming an acoustic guitar which was balanced on his leg. For once, Kagami was able to spot his self-proclaimed shadow quite quickly. It was very rare for Kuroko to stand out in a crowd, but lo and behold, there he was, the center of attention… playing music for them!

Kagami quickly jogged towards the crowd, initial reason for going out that morning temporarily forgotten. He was meant do some groceries, but there was no way he could just walk away from what he was witnessing. Upon reaching the back of the crowd was when Taiga realized how the blue haired teen was able to gather quite an audience.

Kuroko was singing as well.

And for a moment, Kagami forgot how to breathe. He had a nice voice, Taiga noted belatedly. No wait… nice was understatement. Kuroko’s voice was beautiful. And his best friend looked so at ease with what he was doing… so natural. 

Kagami stood at the back, concentration usually given only to basketball, now focused at Kuroko and his one man show. He could see the other teen’s lips move, how nimble fingers gracefully glide and how Kuroko’s eyes once in a while quickly sweep over at his audience, then immediately goes back looking at his own fingers moving over the fretboard. He vaguely remembered hearing the song Kuroko was singing on the radio. But his voice… it was so different from his usual deadpan. 

Taiga was sure, this would forever be committed to his memory for the rest of his life.

The crowd erupted in cheer and applause when Kuroko’s voice finally stopped and he had strummed the last note of his song. The teen then stood up and gave a curt bow to his still cheering audience.  

“Thank you everyone.” Kuroko said, voice a bit breathless and had become coarse. Had he been singing there for a while now? Kagami thought. But otherwise, it was back to its normal, unemotional state, Taiga was used to hearing. If didn’t witness Kuroko perform, he wouldn’t have believed his partner was musically talented at all. 

“All proceeds and donations will go to the animal shelter. If you are also interested in adopting, helping out or just interested at looking at the animals, please do not hesitate to call and inquire.” Kuroko then gave them the the shelter’s flyers.

Oh. So that’s why he was busking. Kagami smiled, of course it was for the animals. That was just the kind of person Kuroko was right? A compete softy for animals. 

Kagami watched as the audience dropped paper bills and coins inside the empty case the teen had set up on the front. Some of them even asking Kuroko what the shelter needed and how to sign up to become volunteers which the teen answered with enthusiasm.

When the audience completely dispersed, Kuroko set his guitar on the wall behind him, bent down and started collecting his earnings. He wasn’t able to spot Kagami yet, good. He had decided to move further to the side instead during the middle of Kuroko’s performance to avoid being seen. He then silently approached the busy teen.

“Oi, Kuroko!” Kagami called out. Pleased when he saw the blue haired teen jump, eyes widening in surprise at seeing him before schooling his face back at his usual deadpan. Hey, sometimes, Kuroko needed a taste of his own medicine. But he was getting distracted. “Never would’ve thought you’d be musically inclined.”

Kuroko looked away from Kagami, tip of his ears red, “Ah… you saw all that?”

Taiga scratched the back of his head, did he just made Kuroko embarrassed? Well now. “Not all of it, just the last song. You do this often?”

“Hmm… actually, this is the first time I’ve done something like this.” Kuroko kneeled back in front of his case and continued to collect his money.

“It doesn’t seem like it.” Kagami said, sincerely. Or he hoped he sounded sincere. First time, really? With that much level of confidence and ease? No way.

Kuroko gave him a look then returned back to his task, “I usually just sing and play for the animals at the shelter. Well, for the staff there in extension as well.”

“Animals?” What?

The blue haired teen explained that he read somewhere that playing music for the animals soothed them. That he’s been volunteering as a helper for the animal shelter whenever he had free time and they needed money for an operation for a senior dog. One of the staff suggested he tried busking. 

Kuroko pocketed all his earning, seemingly happy with what he got. He returned his guitar back to its case and looped the strap over his head. 

“You’ve been playing for long?” Taiga asked. 

“A while.” Was Kuroko’s vague answer.

He was okay with music in general. He liked listening to pop songs and sometimes, sang along when the mood strikes (he’d never admit that to anyone though). He was aware his voice wasn’t exactly singer quality though. But learning to play an instrument? He liked the idea and it looked kinda cool, but he figured he’d never have the patience for it. He’d probably get bored and abandon it without even reaching half way. 

Kuroko though… it never occurred to Taiga that his partner could’ve had other talents aside from his basketball. He was just so… unassuming. Then again, he wouldn’t have been Kuroko Tetsuya if he didn’t hide something amazing and surprising under his low presence and deadpan stare.  

Kagami ended up accompanying Kuroko. The blue haired teen gave all the money he earned to the ecstatic manager of the shelter, while Taiga stayed at the corner, jumping at all the noises the dogs made. When Kuroko gave him an amused smile, Kagami grabbed the other teen’s head and messed it up until the blue haired teen gave him a jab on his side. Kuroko helped him buy and carry his groceries in return.

It should’ve been the end of that. Kagami should move on and think about what’ll cook for dinner instead. Many people could play a musical instrument and sing at the same time. Some loved flaunting their talents, some don’t. He personally loved flaunting his own talents with basketball especially if any of the Generation of Miracles were present. Kuroko seemed to be part of the second category. He was never the cocky type. And Kagami felt like, the only reason he was able to know about Kuroko’s music talent was because he caught him in the act, trying to earn money for a sick dog, no less.

But it wasn’t the end of that. Kagami’s brain wouldn’t want to end it. He can’t get it out of his mind. He wanted to hear Kuroko sing again. He wanted to watch him play, watch his fingers elegantly glide and move.

“Hey, Kuroko…” Taiga said, breaking the comfortable silence that had settled between them as they made their way to his apartment, “Uhh… when you go back to that shelter to sing, can I come with you?” Never mind he doesn’t even like dogs! But he just wanted to watch Kuroko again.  

Kuroko tilted his head, eyes glinting in barely concealed amusement and Kagami had to look away from those blue orbs, “Very well Kagami-kun. I will inform you the next time I’ll come back to the shelter.”

Okay. Cool. Kuroko didn’t make it awkward.

But then Taiga heard his companion chuckle, “If Kagami-kun wanted a private concert, he should just say so. I would do it for free food and vanilla milkshakes.”

Kagami sputtered and felt his face burn, “You’re such a little shit!”

Free food and vanilla milkshakes could easily be arranged.

yes jon was a theater kid in uni yes he did musicals yes i have a list of what productions he was in

hamlet (jon plays hamlet. a Classic jon hc to the point that i dont even have to justify it)

sweeney todd (jon plays sweeney, i think itd be such a fun role for him & like… so different than his usual? 5'4 scrawny bookworm doesnt usually get cast as a vengeful murderous type but he KILLS IT)

pippin (not to keep giving jon title roles but jon as pippin would be iconic & the themes of fate and circular narrative and sacrifice to an outside audience-portrayed force beyond your control is very good foreshadowing for the events of the podcast)

rent (auditioned to play mark but ended up cast as roger and Loves It.)

rosencratz & guildenstern are dead (got that hamlet flavor but with a twist; jon plays one of the main 2 but i don't remember enough abt the show to know which one he'd be better at. he'd have a lot of fun with all the quick wordplay bits)

ADHD!Kagami headcanons

(some of these are really specific to ADHD and others are more general headcanons I have about her)

@gabriel-agreste-has-no-rights

-She’s literally incapable of caring about something a normal amount. Everything is either “I could not care less” (which sometimes includes school lectures or her mom talking, and there’s no use fighting it, she’s not going to process anything that’s being said) or “if I don’t think about this every second of the day, I will die” (and that category very much includes Adrien, and it also includes fencing)

-She has never had any impulse control ever in her entire life. If she thinks something, she’s going to say it out loud immediately. If her brain is like “hey, you should touch Marinette’s face,” she’s going to do it, and then she’s going to stubbornly refuse to regret anything

-She impulsively says some things that can be taken as insults or rude and start fights but it’s also things like halfway through arguing with Chloe she’ll be like “oh by the way Chloe, your eyes are super sparkly and gorgeous, wait where was I?” and then she’ll be like “why??? Did I say that???” but externally she maintains a calm façade and will stand by her random outburst even if it kills her

-She forms opinions on everything incredibly fast and she has such strong opinions on every single thing, even though they change a lot. She’ll hear a new pop song on the radio and be like “this song is the bane of my existence, I’ve never hated anything more” and ten minutes later the song is her ringtone, there is no in between

-She hates being stuck sitting down for long periods of time. Even just riding across town in her mom’s car is torture, she’d much prefer walking, but when she has to take longer trips (eg the Startrain, airplanes, etc.) she spends the whole ride just like “let me move!!! Let me be free!!!”

-Every single social interaction she has, she’s running on an adrenaline high, and she likes talking to people but as soon as they leave she has to take like five minutes to just internally scream because emotions are a Lot and Conversationing is difficult.

-Her RSD is so strong. Anything is an insult if you’re looking hard enough and she takes it as a challenge. Someone will be like “hey Kagami you did amazing in fencing today, it’s always fun to be your teammate, you’re so awesome” and Kagami’s gut instinct will be to defend herself because she’s being attacked, and most of the time she knows that they’re trying to compliment her but that doesn’t stop her brain from doing the thing

-Anytime she experiences any amount of emotion she’s just like “oh God, oh no, what is this, how do I make it go away”

-She’s like “Oh no I went on a date with Adrien and I still feel weird around him, what went wrong?” And she has absolutely no idea that she’s literally just feeling affection for him. She has no ability to name any of her emotions ever. In Ikari Gozen she’s like “oh no Marinette said she hates me, why does my stomach feel like this? I must just be getting too over competitive with the game again and I’m upset I’m not winning, guess I just need to calm down,” and it’s just like”Kagami, no, you’re sad about Marinette”

-Similarly, it took her absolutely forever to figure out that she has a crush on Adrien, she was just like “wow it’s so weird that my fencing adrenaline rushed always get more intense when Adrien’s around” and then she’s like “hey I think I might be allergic to Adrien’s perfume or something because I always feel kinda faint around him”

-She can spend about 3 minutes listening to someone else talk before she absolutely needs to interject

-reading is a nightmare because of sitting still. She can and will climb trees while also reading her school textbooks, and noone else understands how she does it but she doesn’t understand how they don’t do it

-*In silence for 15 seconds* “alright better start spastically snapping and clapping before I die of understimulation”

-*in a crowd for 15 seconds* “oh no it’s too loud, time to see if I can yell at every individual person on the street who’s making noise”

-if she goes too long without practicing fencing she will stim in other ways, and that includes flapping and jumping up and down. If you look at her weird or say anything vaguely insult-like her RSD will kick in and she’ll death stare you until you run away fearing for your life

-she can get completely beaten up in fencing and walk it off but anytime Adrien gets slightly injured her anxiety kicks in and she’s like “from this tiny bruise, I have deduced that you’re going to die” and Adrien has to reassure her that he’s totally fine

-“what do you mean I need to switch activities? I don’t understand what you’re saying, what are these other activities you speak of? I don’t know anything except whatever I’m doing at this current second”

-Whenever she’s hit by a sudden idea she just instictively starts tapping the nearest wall/ desk/ object, which often startles people because it’s very sudden

-whenever she’s saying something that isn’t impulsively blurted out, she has to spend a full minute thinking out her words or else she’ll stutter like crazy

-half the time that she’s listening to someone talk, she’ll just accidentally tune out without realizing it, so a lot of her internal monologue during conversations is just “oh no, oh no what were they saying?” And then she just puts on a serious face because that works in almost every context, and she just nods along

-there’s more in my head but I have to stop at some point so I’ll stop here and maybe add more later
