Just thinking about how manchild!bucky is a sap . And how he just can’t stop touching you . Tender and sweet or more possessive . But he’s always gotta touch you . A hand in the back of your neck in public or his hand on your thigh in one of Sam’s barbecues . I’m so obsessed with them it’s unhealthy

Oh, Manchild!Bucky is the sap.

While other people's DNA is made up of sugar molecules, phosphate groups, and nitrogen bases, Bucky's DNA is made of all the devotion, neediness, and adoration he has for you. Taking care of you is more than just a biological need, it's hardwired into his very soul.

Despite the journey he's taken to healing and undoing certain aspects of his past, Bucky struggles with words — the majority of his memory is a kaleidoscope of years in which his voice was stolen from him. He's quick with his wit, and he's more than capable of running his mouth while he's watching you come undone because of him. But it's the quiet moments, the careful moments, that he struggles with. The paragraphs he builds upon in his head ramble out as nothing more than two words that leave him red in the face with embarrassment. So, he learns to use touch as an emotional crutch.

As time goes on, the bond between you grows, and you feel yourself become fluent in the silent language threaded into Bucky's touch.

When you're walking along the city streets and the warmth of his palm greets your lower back, you know he's beckoning you to walk in front of him — to avoid the oncoming traffic of someone glued to their phone, or to block any view of your skirt blowing up with the wind, or because sometimes he simply needs the comfort of being able to literally watch over you in crowded spaces.

Despite the fact it takes him a while to be fully comfortable with 'flaunting' your relationship in front of Sam — for no reason other than the impending teasing that's bound to plague him throughout all their future missions together — his instinct is still to seek out some form of touch. Playing footsies under the clothed table, or resting his hand on the back of your chair, or finding any excuse to squeeze past you so, for a second, he can brush his hand along your waist. It doesn't matter how or where, all that matters is the wave of reassurance that washes over his anxious mind when he feels you. And, when he's comfortable enough? He's a madman. Dragging your chair until it's pressed right against his, pressing a kiss atop your head anytime he passes the table where you're laser focused on a very serious game of cards against Sam's nephews, insisting you save space for others to sit while pulling you onto his lap and basically locking his arms around you. He's such a touch-starved maniac, Sam starts what he dubs the 'Clingy Jar' and makes poor Bucky pay each time he touches you — at the rate the jar's going, there will be enough money to put both Sam's nephews through college.

At home, however, is where his obsession truly thrives. If you ever dare sit on the opposite end of the couch, he's grabbing your ankle and hauling you down the length of it until either one of you is laying with your head in the other's lap. Enter the kitchen? Prepare to wear a six foot wall of muscle as a backpack, arms looped around you from behind and his head resting on your shoulder. And if you ever complain — because really, why would you? — it's only because his need to touch you is interfering with your desire for him to hurry up and finish baking whatever sweet treat he was in the middle of mixing when you made the mistake of grabbing a drink. Showering becomes a joint affair — he insists it saves water and you don't have the heart to tell him the truth. While it's not rare for it to lead to something sexual, that's not even the reason he joins you in the cubicle. It's the intimacy of becoming clean together, washing away any of the bad from the day and just being left with your bare, soaked, smiling faces, gazing at each other whilst covered in soapsuds and just thinking, 'yeah, it's good to be home'. The bed, lets be honest, is the most obvious and straight forward thing: come rain or shine, summer or winter, that man expects you to be resting atop his chest and beneath the weight of his right arm. The only exception? Spooning, when he's the little spoon and he gets to revel in feeling your entire frame pressed up against him.

God forbid you ever fight — because you will, it's only natural. That man will impose his own punishment, even when he's in the one in the right, and will quit touching you. Cold turkey, no warning. Complete and utter avoidance of touch. In his skewed logic, he has no right to the comfort touching you provides when you're at odds with each other, and the last thing he ever wants to do is to have you relate having his hands on you to anything negative — even if it is just a silly argument over who ate the last cheese stick. Poor boy lasts about twenty minutes trying to sleep on the couch before he's sliding into bed and pulling you against him, a million apologies upon his lips as he peppers them all over your skin.

Yeah, uh, so basically, please don't reject Manchild!Bucky's clingy affection. Because, while he's a gentleman who will accept your rejection with complete understanding, he'll probably cry himself to sleep or write really crappy poetry about it. Oh my god, someone teach me to stfu!

After Sirius ran away from Grimmauld he sent his parents a glitter bomb card.

Walburga and Orion couldn't remove the glitter and still found it in their hair ten years after the letter.

Regulus never forgave Sirius for it because he was in the room when they opened it and he was in his favourite robes.

Three years after the letter, James was running his hand through Regulus' hair and when he pulled it back his hand was covered in glitter. The same glitter that was in Sirius' card. Regulus sends a card back.

The brothers then start sending each other glitter bombs every time they piss each other off. using other people to send them so there's no avoiding the cards. It gets so bad that they'll convince their former favourite hogwarts teachers to send them.

James and Remus are innocent victims of the glitter war.

guys, i think the hermits are going to accidentally start a prank war again. because just like last time, a game of telephone has begun. first, false made iskall's build into ''false beans,'' her shop from the previous season. however, to give herself plausible deniability, she signs it with "love, Joel. x" due to his username, smallishbeans.

next, iskall sees this, and completely believes it. he thinks it was joel who pranked him, and as he says to pearl while showing off the sign, which he kept even after tearing the prank down, "joel gave me a kiss." in his most recent video, he pranks joel by sending him loads of anonymous messages in order to completely spam and fill his inbox, preventing him from getting any more mail, with notes such as "thinking about you. x"

of course, joel is going to have absolutely no context for this, because he didn't make the initial prank. so who is joel going to assume sent him all those messages while he was away on holiday? well, i have a guess.

etho.

Another question! Okay sorry lol I have another question for the both arms cradle you now fic again! So when you answered my previous ask about our step mother and our step siblings I remember in one of the parts you mentioned that their where more siblings like our dad and step mom had more kids or am I wrong? If I am you don’t have to answer this ask! I was also wondering more about the neglect why did they now realize what they put reader/us through? What triggered their yandere behavior sorry for my so many asks! I just love your blog! Have a good day! And drink water and get lots of sleep!

You are right, I did write that! Thing is at the time I was still unsure of who all I was adding to the story as well as the timeline of events :p so reader now officially has two older stepsiblings and a younger half brother!

Reader was fourteen when they finally gave up on their dad, and moved away with their mom shortly after. They didn't want any contact with anyone from Damien's side of the familly, so the Christmas party is everyone's first time seeing them in years. (Four, since reader is eighteen currently in the series)

The first year reader was gone was a shitshow to say the least

Going no contact with everyone was abrupt, especially since the family as a whole was tight-knit. Paul eventually got a hold of reader's mom (she was ignoring Damien) and got a simple explanation that basically boiled down to 'ask your son and his step kids'

Lizzie is already in boiling water at this point since everyone was freaking out about reader being gone all of a sudden, so when she gets set down for some answers she immediately bursts into tears and confesses (miles is also in trouble, and he quietly confirms and admits his part of things)

After everything is out in the open, Damien is having a crisis. He's also sobbing now because he realizes that not only has he been a shitty dad and lost his kid, but you've been through so much (his baby, oh god, his baby..)

Paul has to leave so he doesn't just yell at them all for hours, but makes sure they know that they aren't allowed in his home for the foreseeable future (you can see that he's still really cold to Damien in 'villian and violent')

You know the saying absence makes the heart grow fonder? Dial that up to the extreme.

Everybody misses reader dearly (besides the step sibs at first), there's always a hope that there will be a phone call, a text, something, but it never comes.

Longing and longing and longing starts to turn into something different, because when reader is back (and they will be) what's stopping you from leaving again? Familly is important, even if you were wronged, how do they show you that you need them?

okay before i forget. i've been trying to put my finger on why people saying phoenix and maya are 'sibling-coded' pisses me off so much and I think a big part of it is how important mia is to both their introduction and also the foundation of their relationship and how calling phoenix and maya 'siblings/sibling-coded' waters down all of their relationships

phoenix wishing that maya was mia is a very big part of maya's arc as well as a big sticking point in phoenix and maya's relationship. phoenix spends the majority of turnabout sisters wishing that 'the chief' was there and when maya fails to channel her he shows outward disappointment. this is something that maya obviously picks up on and internalizes as we see throughout the rest of the games. most notably maya shows remarkably little self-preservation, throwing herself at von Karma's taser and in contempt of court to help edgeworth (and by extent, phoenix). she openly admits to feeling useless when she can't channel mia and phoenix never refutes this out loud until he of course presents the bullet to her showing that she wasn't useless. phoenix is notably bad at expressing his thoughts/ and feelings so its honestly debatable whether this gets through to maya but thats neither here nor there

on the other side of it, maya wishes that phoenix would be the caring adult figure that she was missing for most of her life (and especially after mia dies) and phoenix does not do a great job of being that figure. he likes her sure, and they're good friends, but he's definitely not nurturing or sensitive whenever maya is in distress. at the end of turnabout sisters when mia tells maya to "take care of phoenix" for her, maya starts calling him nick (because that's what mia said phoenix's friend calls him) and their dynamic for the most part is solidified. maya is not able to find mia in phoenix and accepts him as his own person and a part of her life as a friend.

phoenix has a more complicated journey with viewing maya as her own person partially because of the whole spirit-channeling thing, and partially because maya is younger than both the chief and himself. phoenix is constantly looking to a mentor for guidance and feels out of his depth for most of the cases in the trilogy. he frequently wishes that mia could be there, and is shown to value maya's ideas less, or at the least question them more at face-value. nevertheless, by the second game phoenix relies on maya greatly as shown with how he copes (or fails to cope) with her absence in rfta and 2-4, and 3-5. phoenix views her as both an integral part of his life and support structure, but also views her as someone he has to put on a brave face for, much like pearls. maya is phoenix's young friend that he leans on and wishes to protect.

maya's love for her sister is a core theme that spans the entire trilogy and culminates in maya almost dying in 3-5. phoenix's love for mia is a constant driving force that pushes him past what he believed himself capable of, and encourages him to trust those who become those closest to him. phoenix and maya's relationship is colored by their own relationships to mia, and how they view each others relationship with mia. they both represent a part of her that they never knew as well as a part of her they can keep loving in her place after she is gone, but most importantly, neither of them will ever be mia. no one else can be maya's big sister and no one else can be phoenix's mentor. they meet each other as two strangers set adrift by the same lost mooring, and though they'll never be secure in the way they were before meeting each other, they have a friend to help keep themselves afloat.
