#I NEEDED HIM TO BE HUMBLED I HATE THIS SHOW (affectionate)

[kankuroplease]

Hello 😊Can you tell us more about our Tenko's daughter😩✨️ (personally, I don't think she looks much like Wakaba 😅) and also if you have a drawing or even a sketch please, otherwise it's not a problem 🫡 thank you!!!

Yuri? She’s her father’s twin for sure 🪞

Like her brothers, she grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth

Unlike her brothers, she moves silently and no one really knows where she runs off to if she doesn’t want to be found (she hides in the most obvious and least likely place they would check, on top of the hokages office hanging out with the guards)

They never really know what she’s thinking either because she learned how to have a solid poker face

Despite her private nature, she’s fairly close with all three of her parents and her siblings

Her mother says that she never saw how much Tenko and Ringo looked alike until she had Yuri. It was like looking at a miniature version of her childhood friend some days

Madara scoffs at that and insists she looks more like their mother than anyone else

She cut off her hair as a young teen on a whim and never lets it grow much longer than it is now

She was skilled in both Ninjutsu and Kenjutsu as a child and became even more skilled with her sharingan

Snores like a bear after coming home from a tough mission

She absolutely does not care about being powerful or showing off (even though she is one of the strongest of her cousins)

She’s rather popular almost her peers because of her humble nature and willingness to let her teammates shine

She absolutely hates cockiness and arrogance, which makes her joke that she was born into the wrong clan

Her ex best friend tried to kill her to awaken his sharingan, so she killed him. She still avoids his family’s gaze

Volunteer veggie eater for Uzume because she’s got a healthy appetite and doesn’t mind vegetables

Hype man for Nene because she’s gorgeous and kind. Yuri will never let her think otherwise

The bane of Riki’s existence because she’s younger, taller, and learns techniques quickly. They still get along most days, Yuri just better not pat her head like she does to calm her down

Covered for her little brother Sumire as he pursued Tobirama’s daughter yeah the twins and Riki were pretty mad, but her loyalty is to her own siblings first

She likes scaring her eldest two brothers because they overreact

Takes Ajisai’s old clothes because she refuses to let their mom spend more money when there’s perfectly good clothing she an use

Honestly, She chose her future hubby because he was kinda pathetic(affectionately) in a cute way, but always tried his best

Like oh, he kept that old handkerchief just because I gave it to him? Hehe

Hm? He’s trying to help carry things that are obviously too heavy for him? Super sweet

Eh? He’s completely flushed about her helping him wrap his arms properly? Cuteness

Ha! He definitely needs backup because those guys are kicking his ass in training? Poor thing

Talks about how cute he is to her female cousins (they do NOT see the vision, but at least 1/3 are nice about it)

She started inviting him to dinner with her family after she found out he was an orphan/his aunt was barely taking care of him

They grew closer because of those dinners, but she noticed he seemed to chicken out on making any moves

So she took a play out of her mother’s playbook and made the first move. Making them an official couple

She later got him on the idea of leaving konoha and moving to the land where her aunt and many other cousins resided (they could live a simpler and safer life)

Also told her aunt that that journal she left caused quite the scandal amongst the girls and when asked by their husbands what journal they were talking about, they simply smiled at each other before going on about their days

sheldon: i didn’t think you existed, but turns out that you do? you actually listen to his rambles. splatoon 2 is your favorite game in the series. you’re able to see the value in things that others tear down and y'know what? i respect that [not saying i approve of your character choice though]

judd: wait, why him? ohh wait, i know! you probably just don’t care about splatoon’s story at all and / or love cats. there, that’s totally it, right?

lil judd: you either DON’T know his lore and just like the cute little kitten, or you DO know his lore and you’re unhinged. i’m scared of you

spyke: you’d bark for him without hesitation and DON’T pretend you wouldn’t. you clown. you absolute freak. i know what you are. /j

[big-box-of-kinda-silly-fop-ideas]

Just wanted to make like a proper way bio thing for peri (irep coming soon probably if i bother)

I would write fanfiction but uh idk if i could so these are more like characters notes

real long post below

Peri is a highly independent adult, he doesn’t like being coddled or touched without any warning and isnt the type to ask for help at all even if he really needs it. He’s an extremely closed off person using the suave act as a way to personally seperate himself to others which he developed due to his celebrity status, the suave personality also acts as a way to keep face as he never knows where could be camera. He pretends this cool collected guy, that can worm his way to getting anything (which is true) that has everything under control but in reality he’s this kinda dorky dude, that always anxious on how people perceive him and his grades. He’s an overachiever, after the initial first baby born hype died down he’s mostly known as the really smart youngest fairy in existence, he’s was an academic weapon throughout spellementary school and hs (im basing his education system off mine which is only two schools no middle 4-12 and 12-18) and came to uni with overconfidence in his educational abilities. Theres one thing thats consistent between his suave act and his actual self which is he’s petty as hell and very snarky, you can try talking him down but he’ll roast you back or give you a vaguely threatening threat. As well as being a bit prideful and vain, like he knows he’s pretty and smart and cares a lot about his appearance.

In this uni au he’ll be a bit of a static character he doesnt grow much, and struggles with demonstrating his affection or his struggles. (Which is why dev and peri dont exactly work much cause peri is overcompensating on how much coddling he got, and show affection in a more subtle way that dev doesn’t need as he need a more direct way (and heres a thought i dont think peri wouldve ever said he cared for dev unless delirious) ) . But he’s more openly affectionate with his parents cause he loves them. What he mainly goes through is humbling, he starts fairly prideful and overconfident but starts to slowly crumble from the pressure and anxiety. As in he doesnt say no to anything, hes somehow always busy or doing something, he also studies not enough and too much (crams shit in) and he also got his celebrity things to do. Another arc will be opening up to Goldie and Irep (but they'll be his only friends) cause he doesnt learn shit about how to socialise without depending on the act. He’s also easily frustrated, if things dont go in the way he wants he gets frustrated at himself, like he really put his self worth on his abilities to do things and less on who he is as a person. Like everyone praised him for his intelligence, charm, talent, magic and appearance, like he hates being coddled but he likes being praised, while irep doesnt get praised and seeks getting praised. But that doesnt change the fact he is a genuinely nice-ish person he just doesn’t like disappointing people, especially those close to him but he’s got a bit of an ego but not in a narcissistic way but in a young adult way where he doesnt exactly think for others first but for himself because he doesnt want to disappoint people. (Which is seen in battle of dimmsonian where hes more worried about being seen by his parents and his career choices then dev). Which is also why he’s a stickler to the rules, like he doesnt want people to think he’s bad person but also jorgen literally drilled it into him that breaking the rules is bad. Like he’s the type to do it right by the books, that comes from him being a bit of a people pleaser, and genuine concern of him messing up his perfect facade.

Speaking of Goldie, i would describe their relationship as fairly close. It takes a while for the either of them to open up to anything personal but they start off as friends of mutual benefits. They use eachother as study buddies, people to hang out with and to talk about their slightly weird interests. And the more they go through uni the more they will confide with each other. Like i imagine a tipping off point for their friendship is when peri finally breaks and gets like a panic attack, Goldie will be there to boost him up. Irep is also their friend but he’s in it more to best Peri or to piss him off. Irep is one of few to see through his act and knows how to break it.

Like genuinely i do think hazel and peri may be counterparts to each other like they both lost their sibling figure, both overthinks scenarios and both want to be appear more mature then they actually are. Like i want anw to be where he grows the most because he’s more challenged to question his behaviours and habits, especially with how these traits affect his and dev’s relationship for the worse.

The Gaffer is an interesting character to me. His few scenes definitely show us that he is a gruff kind of guy who never shies away from making his opinion known among the gossips. Though he’s illiterate, he’s not stupid at all, and is actually very intelligent when it comes to all things gardening. But he also has very polite manners toward the gentry and is more than humble enough to “know his place” and be content with the simple working class life. He doesn’t share Sam’s passion for Elves and for learning in general. He’s perfectly fine with his lot in life and has no aspirations. It’s clear that Sam’s modesty, resourcefulness, and grounded sense are all inherited from the Gaffer.

Yet I’ve seen the Gaffer get a bit of hate amongst the fandom. Some dislike how he apparently calls Sam names like “ninnyhammer,” and some fanfics have taken this and ran with it to the point of depicting the Gaffer as a straight-up abusive father. Which…absolutely does not gel with Tolkien’s portrait of him at all.

It seems to me that the Gaffer is actually similar to Gandalf in his demeanor. When frustrated or exasperated, he calls people names, but in an affectionate way. And Sam obviously adores his dad, constantly worrying about his wellbeing back home. It’s clear they have a close and good relationship. Sam just does not seem or feel like an abused child. Maybe overly humbled, yes - the Quest does give him a much-needed boost in self-esteem - but not abused. Sam doesn’t have an abusive or unkind bone in his body; I really don’t think he would be as benign as he is, if he grew up with as cruel a role model as many seem to assume the Gaffer is.

Especially since Sam’s mom is clearly no longer around, and his older siblings seem to have all moved out, since Sam and his dad are the only ones who live in 3 Bagshot Row. So they seem similar to Bilbo and Frodo in that it’s been the 2 of them for a while, they have their own little lifestyle system that works for them, and they look after each other.

Notice in particular how the Gaffer often calls his son “my Sam,” which to me indicates he has great affection and pride for Sam. He even seems like he has that parental mindset of remembering and always seeing his son as his little boy, even when his son is all grown up.

The Gaffer also gives off the vibe of somebody who is actually much more open-minded than he claims to be. Yes, he’s a traditionalist and doesn’t like the idea of leaving home for anything. But notice how he fervently defends Bilbo and Frodo in front of the gossips. He’s not among those who disapprove of the Bagginses or call them “mad.” He’s very fond of them and will not speak ill of them. He appreciates how kind they are to him, and doesn’t see any harm in their unusual interests. And while he does drill an absolute sense of humbleness into Sam by saying things like “don’t get mixed up with your betters,” he actually doesn’t seem to mind that Bilbo taught Sam to read and write, even though Sam wasn’t “supposed” to be literate given his place in society. I feel like while he is set in his ways, he is also able to notice and acknowledge when something unusual has its benefits.

And let’s never forget that the Gaffer is also brave! He literally lies to a Nazgûl’s face to protect Frodo, claiming Frodo had already left when he hadn’t. Even if he didn’t know Frodo hadn’t left yet, it’s still clear he has no intention of selling Frodo out to this creepy guy. When push comes to shove, the Gaffer has some admirable courage inside him…another quality of his that Sam inherited.

I also feel great sympathy for him when I consider what that year must’ve been like for him. Imagine your son disappearing without a trace for 14 straight months, right after some creepy cloaked guy comes asking for your son’s boss. How terrified must that poor guy have been! It’s not much of a stretch to assume he was worried about Sam every single day, wondering if he was safe, if he’d ever see him again. How much sleep must he have lost because of his fears.

And of course, Sam names his fourth son after him. Another indicator that they had a genuinely good and loving relationship.

I really like the Gaffer and will always defend him. Let’s give him some credit. He’s a good guy. We primarily have him to thank, anyway, for raising Sam to be the amazing person he is.

How does each family react to being shown random forms of appreciation or affection from each other like receiving gifts, compliments or just simply hugs?

For example Like would some of them be better and more accepting of receiving a Random gift from someone or will they react more like “why did you do this I have done nothing”

Long post so I'm putting a divider here.

Vyrm, as I mentioned before, would most likely feel a tad stressed about it. He still hasn't fully accepted the fact that others around him may treat him with unconditional kindness, so an unexpected gift from stranger would immediately put him in the "do I deserve this?" and "how do I repay them?" mindsets, and he has a tendency to obsess over that to the point it becomes unhealthy. When it comes to gifts within the family, that isn't as much of a problem. He still feels the need to give them something in return, but he has been assured many times that he's loved unconditionally, so he doesn't spiral into panic if he can't repay them. With compliments, he remains very humble, and in response to compliments about his appearance coming from Grimm, he often blushes and gets a bit distracted; even by now he's not used to being complimented like this, and Grimm's alluring energy most certainly gets to him. When it comes to hugs, he finds unexpected acts of physical affection a bit startling but not completely unwelcome (he just needs a moment to adjust and relax), generally though he absolutely loves hugs. He's very physically affectionate, so he greatly enjoys giving and receiving them from his loved ones, he just prefers if he can see them before they try yo hug him.

Grimm loves receiving gifts, and while he does share Vyrm's mindset of wanting to give back, it's not as obsessive and doesn't affect his mental well-being, he simply just enjoys the act of gift-giving. In the family, he's usually the one bringing gifts in the first place, he memorized all birthdays and other important dates, and always makes sure to bring them something from his travels. In regards to compliments, he's very much used to them, to the point he doesn't pay them much attention (unless they come from Vyrm, that gets a much more noticeable reaction from him). He simply just thanks the one complimenting him and moves on. Hugs, on the other hand, are a much bigger deal to him. For many years of his life he experienced closeness with strangers, but it was always brief and meaningless. He was starved for genuine physical affection, which is something he shared with Vyrm, so as you'd expect, they're nearly inseparable now. And of course, he loves hugging other family members, he's always there to offer a warm embrace, and he loves receiving them in return.

Hornet is unique in that she went through a significant change in regards to how comfortable she is receiving this kind of affection. Around the time the infection ended, she put effort into keeping a distance and rejected all kinds of gifts. Compliments made her feel very awkward so she wasn't a fan of those, and let's not even mention hugs - she would never accept a hug, let alone give one. Not because she hated them, but all her trauma created a barrier in her mind that prevented her from physical affection, and as a result, she'd freeze or get angry in response (usually the latter). But as years passed and she learned to cope with her emotions better, she became more open to displays of affection. Gifts became one of her primary ways to show that she loves her family, ever since she brought home scraps from the Junk Pit that Vyrm later used for Holly's arm. Now whenever she goes on her patrol or visits the City, she often brings back things that she imagines Vyrm would like to tinker with, art supplies for Holly and Lewk, even some toys for the twins. She's still a bit awkward when it comes to accepting gifts, but she massively improved nonetheless. And with hugs, while she does find it difficult to initiate them, she doesn't get as upset when she receives them. I like to think the first time she hugged anyone was after the Grimmkin incident. That was the point when she realized she needed to be more open about her love for her family - she was scared that her father could die thinking she hated him. So when he survived, she hugged him for the first time since her childhood, and slowly became more and more comfortable with physical affection afterwards. She's still a bit awkward, but she's getting there.

Holly likes receiving gifts and coming up with presents to give in return. Unlike Vyrm, though, this isn't rooted in anxiety and self-esteem issues, they just love seeing the reactions to their gifts. Not to mention, receiving them is a warm reminder that others do care about them, and they need this kind of affirmation in their life. When it comes to physical affection, they similarly love it. They might not be the best at hugging, it does get a bit awkward with the lack of arm and the huge head getting in the way, not to mention that their body surface is quite cold. But they enjoy being hugged and giving hugs, if they had a choice, they would spend most of their day in the embrace of Vyrm or Grimm, their parents. It's comforting, and just like with gifts and compliments, it reminds them that they're loved.

Zote is extremely awkward with gifts. His initial response is usually rather mean, but it all comes down to the fact that he's not used to getting gifts. Sure, he loves attention and admiration, he wouldn't come up with all those accomplishments and virtues otherwise, but a genuine gift given to him as a token of appreciation? It's new to him, he was bullied for a good portion of his life, so his instinct tells him to act defensive in situations where he may show vulnerability. But after that passes and he's left alone with his gift, he treats it as something sacred. I haven't thought of the specific object, but the first present he received from the family is one he's especially attached to. And as for returning the gesture, it took him a while to do it, and he's a bit awkward at it. He won't admit that he thought of someone when giving them a gift and so he usually just comes up with a story that wouldn't paint it as the kind gesture it really is. Though I think everyone else can see through it, but they buy the story since they know it's best to take it slow with him. He's still not used to physical affection, though, and if you try to hug him, he gets very upset and angry. Small steps, I suppose. And compliments? Oh he adores those, even if he struggles to tell the difference between genuine compliments and sarcasm.

Lewk shares his "papa Grimm's" affinity for gift giving, and he's guaranteed to bring home cool rocks that reminded him of someone in the family, with the intention of gifting them. And I really like the idea of Grimm and Vyrm giving him some spare geo that he often spends at the market to buy gifts, clearly following in Grimm's footsteps. They would all be silly things you'd expect from a young child, but they undoubtedly have a lot of charm. On top of that, in regards to physical affection, he's extremely fond of hugs. He grew up experiencing constant physical affection from his parents, so he has a lot of love that he wants to spread. He hugs everyone all the time, including Zote who's very much not fond of it. Lewk knows from experience that hugs are the best remedy for sadness, and even if it appears naive at times, it's nonetheless incredibly heartwarming.

Asta and Milo are young, naturally, so the concept of gifts isn't something they fully grasped just yet. They definitely enjoy getting them, Milo in particular got extremely attached to the Tiktik plushie that was gifted to him, but they don't have the means to give back. Though as they get older, that would naturally change. Gift giving is clearly a love language found in the whole household, so there's no reason for them not to join in. Asta would be on board, though some of it would certainly be prank gifts, and she would love getting those in return so she can have a good laugh. Milo would be a different story. I think he would try to gift others but get very discouraged if he can't find the perfect present, and he would have the tendency to see gifts given to him as sign of others pitying him. It's definitely something he would have to get through, but it's to be expected if he grows up to be bitter about his weakness. With physical affection, they would both be very fond of it. Asta would be as notorious of a hugger as Lewk, with surprise hugs being her specialty. Milo would pretend like hugs bother him, and see compliments as lies told to make him feel better. But as soon as he's left alone and sad, he would cling to his parents to find comfort, so in reality physical affection would clearly mean a lot to him even with his personal struggles.

I will never stop talking about how Wednesday should not be just another teenager who doesn't get along with her parents because that goes against everything the Addams represent.

When they created the original series back in 1964, the differentiator of the Addams family was a family that actually loved each other. A husband and wife who are completely devoted to each other and are madly in love, and who love their children so much that they are sad because they have to go to school. Things that are the minimum to have a healthy familial relation and that no one can see elsewhere with all the jokes about husbands hating their wives and children and acting like marriage and fatherhood is a death sentence.

The Addams are different not only because they are creepy and kooky, mysterious and spooky, but also because they are a healthy family unit.

When I say that Wednesday's behaviour in the series is unacceptable, it's not because I don't understand that she's a teenager now, but because she has no reason to be the way she is with her parents. Whenever someone comes along to defend their mischaracterization, especially Wednesday's, it's to say that teenagers are just like that or that teenagers need to rebel because they have a disrupted family (which is unfortunately true), but they forget that not every teenager has the need to do so.

Certain children grow up in affectionate homes with loving parents who create connections with their children, with a healthy and safe family environment where there is space for the children to express themselves and to communicate their sorrows without feeling afraid, I know, it sounds like a hoax, but some people are lucky to have the minimum which is not to grow up screwed.

The Addams are the epitome of a healthy family dynamic and Wednesday grew up at the centre of it all, she grew up being encouraged to be creative and curious, to find ways to express herself even if it meant torturing her brother or blowing things up, she always had the unconditional support of those surrounding her.

For the umpteenth time, the Addams are a healthy, caring family that loves and respects each other. Gomez and Morticia would destroy anyone for the happiness of their loved ones, Pugsley and Wednesday likewise. They get along through torture, insults and attempted murders, and nothing is more right and healthy in their case. Wednesday, while a teenager, while someone who has trouble expressing herself in any way other than mayhem and havoc, should not treat Gomez and Morticia the way she does. She shouldn't see her parents as enemies.

And that's my problem, one of them at least.

Teenager or not, having trouble expressing themself or not, a person who grows up in a healthy family environment where there is trust and mutual respect just like there is within the Addams family does not see their parents as enemies.

Even though Wednesday may feel overwhelmed with so much affection, she still shouldn't see her family as the source of her pain because they understand her. They understand that she doesn't like to be touched or hugged nor talking about her feelings and all the other things that are there to understand, and they respect that.

They respect her and her boundaries and live by her rules because her happiness is the most important thing to them, that's why Morticia doesn't touch her when showing her love and Gomez waits to see if she's going to kill him before hugging her and Pugsley accepts the insults as a display of affection because that's what they are.

Wednesday may be a teenager, she may not know how to deal with her feelings, and she may even be somewhat indifferent to those around her in the eyes of the public because she does not know how to handle displays of affection, but she cannot and should not see her family, especially Morticia, as the antagonists of her existence.

That's why, in my humble opinion, Wednesday is a bad adaptation of The Addams Family. It's a nice series, with interesting original characters, and deserves all the love it gets, but it's not a good adaptation.

(Platonic) Bigender barberry for Leshy :D I love forest father~ cuddles for Peepaw!

Hello! Thank you for your request! I have some more writing advice for anyone who wants it. If you’re struggling with writer's block, yet have ideas for a writing, write out one or two ideas about it, then maybe elaborate on those ideas. Then with what you have, try and think of more ideas you can make from that, then on and on until you’re satisfied with what you have written. Of course, you can edit things later and by no means does it have to be perfect. You might even have to start over from scratch from time to time. I just think it’s a helpful method of curing writer’s block. Anyways, I hope you enjoy and have a good rest of your day/night!

Bigender Barberry-How would they like to be comforted after a bad or stressful day? 

Leshy(Platonic)

Forest peepaw honestly would simply enjoy some company from his friend. 

Venting about his feelings while playing a few rounds of Inscryption does wonders for him, perhaps much more than he realizes. 

Just the simple yet reassuring fact that he has at least someone he can talk to, helps him a lot. Even if it’s not a lot, just little by little small talk, it makes a difference and it’s one that Leshy knows for a fact that it’s a difference that’s going to help him as opposed to making his anxiety worse.  

Leshy also wouldn't mind if you gave him a hug every so often. He’s certainly very physically affectionate both platonically and romantically. Hugs, maybe even cuddles are certainly his main go to for affection. When it comes to platonic destressing I mean. Perhaps Leshy wouldn’t hate it if you both simply took a nap in a small clearing in the forest, covered in dappled sunlight as you both lay cuddled up next to each other.   

Hiking in the forest to try and get his mind off from his stress is another thing that he’s willing to do. Leshy enjoys showing you all the little secret paths and shortcuts to different trails that people and even other animals hardly ever go on. 

Maybe even going to little secret spots where you two can just talk or silently enjoy each other’s company as Leshy tries to ease his worries. Unambiguously wandering around finding little streams with minnows swimming by or a clearing with a small meadow of wild flowers, along with bees humbly collecting pollen. All the while, Leshy rambles to you about every different area as you continue to roam around in the woods, side by side as friends.  

You rambling to him to try and distract him also helps. Leshy finds it interesting how animated you look when you very eagerly go on about stories revealing experiences that you have gone through in the past. It could be recent, it could be three months ago, it doesn’t matter to him. 

What matters is that you are here, talking to him, taking the time to help him with his distress and strain rather than going on your merry way. 

Leshy’s glad that he has a friend like you, someone that’s more than willing to help him in his time of need. 

[dr-starline]

"How good it is to see you trying to get back into the swing of things... Always with that positive attitude, despite the harsh truth." He murmurs as he watches 'Maurice' process all this new information. With the collision of new memories and preying on old forgotten ones, Doctor Starline will make quick work of this susceptible little hedgehog yet. He continues walking as if he isn't observing every movement in the other, scanning for any signs of him pulling back or distrust... But he seems to be handling all of this information well! And now he's even asking more targeted questions. He reaches out and pats his shoulder in mock comfort and sympathy.

"The robot is affectionately, and rather banality, referred to as 'Metal' or 'Metal Sonic', due to how fast it is capable of going in order to keep up with your speeds. You two are almost like brothers, almost. Fostered for competition, striving to put the other in your wake... He is a little more, uh, ruthless in your training. He aims to harm you, but you've never let that stop you before. He's also not much for conversation, prefers actions over words... It is an on-sight rivalry as well. So be prepared if he ever decides to pop up!"

"As for Robotnik, well... The situation is a bit complicated right now. He is certainly like an adoptive father, but his focus on science and research has sights set on making a new world order. A little drastic, but he is known for his overtly grand schemes... He also takes issue with thinking he's old, so he prefers you not refer to him in such a fatherly manner. He does care for you, though. He just needs the right conditions to show it... So you've always been a bit of a free spirit! Going to him when you need him, not as a 'visit mom and pops on the weekends' type deal of independence."

"What do I call you? Well- A pain in my side, more often than not!" He laughs as he pinches Maurice's cheek affectionately. "You always cause some sort of trouble for me, but its all in good fun. I call you by your first name, as much as you hate it. It keeps you humble in all of that confidence you have. A reminder that I know what's going on in that head of yours even when no one else does..." He taps Maurice's temple softly as he keeps walking. With all that nonstop talking, they are getting close to his base- Or well, Eggman's old base that he repurposed for his own use. It's not as if the Doctor misses any of the old scrap Starline uses... Yet.

His green eyes flickered down to the hand, looking up again. The hedgehog followed suit like a duckling to a duck, or a puggy to a platypus in this case. His ear twitching, listening as he walks. And slowly, the blue hedgehog was listening to his own story unravelling by someone's else perspective. Abandoned? Supernatural abilities? This was all new to him — as much as it was to an amnesiac person/hedgehog. But he took it all in—every single word—into his head so he could at least remember this.

Yet his story turned out for the better. Robotnik? That name sounds familiar. Maybe because the story was true! Robotnik adopted him.

And he had a name! Ogilvie Maurice Hedgehog?

“ Maybe that's why my parents abandoned me. They couldn't exactly return me like some parcel with that name. ” Maurice joked at his own expenses. Yet despite it being self-deprecating it sounded, the blue hedgehog wasn't sadden by it. Ironically, maybe that was the amnesia's doing. But he didn't feel sad about being abandoned.

That smile was a radiance of confidence almost outshining his words. But Maurice didn't see anything wrong with that. ( Even if something deep inside of him is screaming. )

“ I did. I trusted you with all my secrets and such? Huh. I suppose you're right, Doc! Proof is in the pudding, as they say. But it sounds like you know most of my life. Maurice... I'm... Maurice the Hedgehog. ” Maurice looked at his fingerless gloved hand, curling and uncurling his fingers. The white cloth crinkling, wrinkles appearing the moment he moves his fingers.

“ I have a robot counterpart, what... is their name? Is Robotnik like a father to me then? Adoptive father? And what do you normally call me, Doc? ”

Slow and Tender

The following analysis contains heavy spoilers from Trolls Holiday in Harmony. If you have yet to watch the special, please, ignore the following “read more” and scroll past it. 

I don’t mean to be that Broppy shipper, but I’m afraid I’ll have to be for this particular analysis. For you see, I’m still not over this: 

(Sorry for the low quality of the image; it’s a screenshot)

Now, I’m not going to lie, I’ve been absolute trash for these two since even before the first movie premiered. It’s a pretty safe bet I would lose my mind over this after five years of waiting.

You might even wonder if I wouldn’t have preferred a kiss on the lips.

Would I have gone apeshit over these two lip-locking? Hell yes.

Am I disappointed we didn’t get it? Not one bit.

The reason I love this simple but sweet cheek kiss is precisely because simple and sweet is Broppy’s style! This kiss showcases the (at least) current nature of their relationship. 

As frustrating as it was waiting several years for these two to become canon, the pacing of their relationship is just right.

Back in the first movie, even if it was can-see-it-from-a-mile-away obvious that Branch had feelings for Poppy, the two still had a lot to go through before they could actually be together. 

These two are opposites; foils. That’s a fact. As well as the reason why they work so well together. And the fact that DreamWorks actually took their differences into consideration and the time to develop their friendship/relationship so these differences wouldn’t become a problem in the future is another major success. Much kudos to you, DreamWorks. 

The chemistry between these two is palpable, that’s why they are the main characters: because they work well together and they balance each other out. But to find the perfect balance between you and somebody else (especially if you’re like night and day), you need to know the other person first. 

At the end of their first adventure together, Poppy and Branch had just begun seeing past the surface and understanding how the other works and thinks. And from then onwards, they keep dancing around each other as they try to figure the other out and find the perfect compromise. 

These two are adorable and supportive, but each of them is confident in their own way and will mercilessly taunt the other when the opportunity arises; and in my humble opinion, that’s the root of their chemistry: the perfect balance between loving and supportive, and mischievous and fun. 

Now, as their relationship’s been developing these last few years, they’ve come to understand each other quite well and appreciate the other just the way they are. The thing is, that understanding had then to be translated into a romantic relationship. 

And this is when the true beauty of that cheek kiss shines through. 

As we’ve been saying, Poppy and Branch not only know what makes the other tick, but they understand and respect it (unless it gets out of control) and, most importantly, given their opposite personalities and the fact that they share their core values--they just express them differently--they compliment each other. 

But going from “just friends” to “boyfriend and girlfriend” is big change so, as with everything else, they’re taking things slow. 

I think it goes without saying Poppy’s the most physically affectionate of the two, and Branch is mostly receptive but not as quick to display his affections. Well, the kiss shows their compromise: 

Look at that smile, that sweet giggling! That is not the reaction of someone used to unconditional, unabashed affection! That’s the reaction of someone who’s slowly but surely entering their first real relationship and enjoying every single second of it. 

And Poppy’s face? That fond, adoring look? She’s just happy she can make Branch happy. Because she loves him so much and she’d hate to blow things between them. She knows there’s no point in rushing things; they’ll get there when they get there. 

Because Broppy is like the first displays of affection from a blossoming love. Their love is like that kiss; slow and tender, but so beautiful and so, so worth it.

HEADCANON               GARLAN ; FAMILY VS THE REST OF THE WORLD I’ve had various conversations now with @goldenngore​ about the sheer amount of differences and few similarities between Loras and Garlan, including the roles they ultimately play within their family, and the two vastly opposite temperaments these two bring to the plate. Loras undoubtedly is the fire starter of House Tyrell, with an obvious “fuck around and find out” attitude, especially after Renly’s death. he’s also the one Mace deliberately pushed into the limelight at any given opportunity. compared to that, Garlan appears almost shy ; a knight that doesn’t like showing off, largely steers clear of tourneys, and has no interest in making a name for himself. it is partially his ( especially for a Tyrell ) very humble nature, but also, I believe, the role he is supposed to play within the family           because we all know that all four Tyrell kids, at the end of the day, are puppets on Mace’s string and they each have certain expectations attached to them, that need to be met in order to be worthy of affection. Loras is the show pony. Garlan the ultimate enforcer of everything dumb, dangerous, and outright delusional Mace and/or Olenna cook up. 

I’ve told Frankenstein before and I stand by it forever: Garlan knows every plan his father and grandmother concoct. every single one, in every detail. he knew about the Purple Wedding, about the potential plans they had for Sansa, about the fake marriage of Margaery and Renly, about the deliberate closing off of the Roseroad to let King’s Landing starve and later appear as the saviours bringing food back to the kingdom, about the dumbass idea of sticking Garlan into Renly’s old armour to scare the piss out of Stannis .  .  . everything. they can trust him with all of that, because they both know that Garlan will silently follow his orders and remain loyal to his family, no matter what. it’s what’s been drilled into him since childhood, and I firmly believe that whenever Garlan didn’t behave accordingly as a child, both Mace and Olenna “punished” him through love deprivation. a horrible thing for a boy that is as naturally affectionate as Garlan. they thus raised him to become the ultimate people pleaser, always agreeable, always saying yes, always there whenever someone calls, always ready to put his own needs and dreams aside for the wellbeing of his family             and he resents them for it. ( anyone else smelling a Jaime parallel here btw? no, just me. alright. ) the stupid thing about people pleasing is that it’s intrinsically selfish. Garlan doesn’t perform the obedient puppy routine because he believes his father is right or because he loves him so much ; no, he goes all the way because he fears what his family may think of him if he doesn’t. he hates doing what he does, but he is entirely terrified of being criticised or discarded if he doesn’t. he cannot and will not look bad. it’s not part of his MO. now Loras thinks it’s a weakness on Garlan’s part. that “yes and amen” approach he runs, that makes him weak in Loras’ eyes and probably in the eyes of others, too, but the funny thing is that Garlan, objectively speaking, is the second most outspoken and brave member of his family as well. he is more tactful than Loras, but he has absolutely no issue to bump heads with someone else            even occasionally going against the rest of his family, when his own conviction tells him that what his family does is absolutely not warranted. the best example for that is Sansa. Sansa who, after the planned marriage to Willas falls apart, suddenly finds herself shunned by the formerly oh-so-supportive, oh-so-loving Tyrells doting on her at every turn, giving her false hope to escape a horrible situation ; and dropping her like a hot potato the moment she is no longer of use. it is Garlan, as the only member of his family, who is still publicly kind to her. “Lady Sansa.” Ser Garlan Tyrell stood beside the dais. “Would you honor me? If your lord consents?” The Imp’s mismatched eyes narrowed. “My lady can dance with whomever she pleases.” Perhaps she ought to have remained beside her husband, but she wanted to dance so badly... and Ser Garlan was brother to Margaery, to Willas, to her Knight of Flowers. “I see why they name you Garlan the Gallant, ser,” she said, as she took his hand. he even joked at his own expense, only to coax a little bit of laughter out of Sansa, and reassured her that Tyrion, overall, wasn’t a bad match. better than Loras, at least. Garlan is filled with kindness and he is ready to show it to those he believes need it the most. even if it goes against the overall behaviour of his family. “My lady wife is most concerned for you,” he said quietly, one such time. “Lady Leonette is too sweet. Tell her I am well.” “A bride at her wedding should be more than well.” His voice was not unkind. “You seemed close to tears.” “Tears of joy, ser.” “Your eyes give the lie to your tongue.” Ser Garlan turned her, drew her close to his side. “My lady, I have seen how you look at my brother. Loras is valiant and handsome, and we all love him dearly... but your Imp will make a better husband. He is a bigger man than he seems, I think.” he is kind and supportive to Sansa, as well as to Tyrion, whom he repeatedly reassures and tells him he is meant to do great things and that people wrongfully underestimate him. he also seems more than happy to potentially attract the wrath of other people in the room for standing with the “shunned ones”, and yes, that includes Olenna and Mace. not only that, however. Garlan also is one of very, very few people who has openly, publicly, called Joffrey out. not once, twice. without batting an eye. he first called him at breakfast before his wedding, publicly schooling him in how rare the book was he had just destroyed, heavily implying that Joffrey’s behaviour was dumb and unnecessary. at the same time, Garlan showed how smart and educated he is himself, unlike Joffrey, obviously. second time happened shortly before Joffrey’s death, after he had dumped a chalice of wine on Tyrion’s head. “How do you like that, Imp?” Joffrey mocked. Tyrion’s eyes were on fire. He dabbed at his face with the back of a sleeve and tried to blink the world back into clarity. “That was ill done, Your Grace,” he heard Ser Garlan say quietly. did he call Joffrey out because, as I believe, he knew he would die that day? possibly. I will forever believe that Garlan’s attempt at “saving” Joffrey by simply patting him on the back while he was choking was a farce to make his family look innocent, more than an actual attempt to save his life, but he still ran a risk of it all not working out and Joffrey calling for his head to be chopped off, had he survived. he did it anyways, not to bully Joffrey, but to defend Tyrion. would anyone else do that? probably not. Garlan has clear-cut ideas of what is right and what is wrong. he is happy to cross lines for his family, knowing that what he is doing isn’t right and shouldn’t happen, but there are many occasions, when he’ll ignore his own conscience and sell his own integrity because his family demands it of him. but there are still times when he sees a wrong being committed that is so awful, that he will step in and call it out no matter whom it might upset. Garlan never acts out of selfishness, he only ever acts to help others. and the increasingly ruthless and, frankly, stupid behaviour of Mace, coupled with Garlan’s new family ( aka new loyalty ) he is meaning to build with Leonette, may just drive Garlan out of that tight-knit net that is House Tyrell, and he will begin to rebel more and more. subtly and politely ofc, but I cannot see it any other way. like I just today said to Frankenstein, Mace made the mistake of allowing Garlan to find a new family, and he’s gonna regret that. especially because sweet, kind Leonette is the only person who loves him unconditionally. Garlan isn’t weak or timid or obedient. he simply desires kindness, not only towards himself, but others as well. unfortunately, it is ( for now ) thus easy to bully him into submission by feeding him said kindness in little bites and threatening to take it away again, should he misbehave. if you are important to him, he will go out of his way to be “lovable” for you. to be deserving of love and affection. if you’re unimportant to him, he will publicly but politely shame the living hell out of you because you obviously deserve it.

It's Always You

Chapter 12: I See You Now

Kim watched as the smile on Porchay’s face slowly dimmed until it completely faded. On the other hand, Macau was glaring at him from beside Chay. He chose to ignore his younger cousin. However, Porchay’s eyes were shifting between the man he does not dare to possess and the woman beside him. He felt like someone was trying to pull his heart out based on the pain he was feeling on his chest.

The feel of someone’s fingers on his cheek brought his attention back to the present. He looked down at the woman beside him, following the arm that owns the hand lightly brushing his cheek.

You were smiling at him, taking pride in the thought that he is standing beside you, albeit his heart and mind are yearning for the boy across from you. Despite that knowledge, you're determined to keep him with you for however long you can manage. Flashing the brightest affectionate smile you can muster, you brushed off the strands of hair hanging in front of his face, slightly grazing his cheek.

“You did so amazing, love,” you proudly muttered as you tucked the strands behind his ear. He gave you a grateful smile, yet his eyes looked so dead, unlike when he was looking at the younger male across from you.

A clearing of someone’s throat took both of your attention. You looked at the two persons standing across you while Kim looked at the people around, trying to locate his brothers. “I apologize, boys,” you addressed them impishly. Turning to Porchay, you flashed an inquisitive smile, silently hoping that your envy and jealousy was not showing through.  “Were you about to ask me something?” you asked Porchay.

Macau released an obnoxious scoff, seeing through the veil that you so hardly put up. Your well-placed smile slightly faltered, it was barely noticeable. It earned him a slight smack on his tummy from Porchay as a warning. The latter shot him a reproaching look, telling him to behave. You watched as Macau rolled his eyes although they became softer when it landed on the softer-looking boy. After reprimanding his best friend, Porchay turned back to the couple in front of them, although he refused to even glance at the older male.

He flashed you a soft and shy smile, fiddling with his fingers by his chest. There was a visible blush blooming on his cheeks, making him look more like an edgy cherub in his all white outfit. “I just wanted to tell you Macau and I,” the uninterested look on Macau’s face morphed into one of confusion and reproach. Porchay pinched Macau’s side to stop him from protesting. “Macau and I are pleased to meet you and want to become your friend. After all, you are dating his cousin,” he covered his mouth because of bashfulness, letting out a small laugh.

Watching the younger male, you came to understand how Kim was not able to stop loving him. Chay was everything that is pure in this world. He was innocent, kind and humble. you can’t find anything hostile, antagonistic or malicious in the way he addresses. In fact, it is quite the contrary. All you can feel from his energy is warmth, acceptance and comfort. Despite your desire to hate the boy, you just can’t find yourself to feel anything negative. A small, fond smile also bloomed on your lips, in spite of yourself.

“It was my pleasure,” you uttered. Macau can see the conflict in your eyes, yet he chose to not comment on it.

Kim cannot help but feel anxious and apprehensive as he watches you and Porchay interact. He can’t help but feel nervous about his two worlds colliding––a past he cannot let go and a present he needs to free. 

Feeling restless and anxious, he looked around for his big brothers. He found them a few meters away from where he and the two boys were standing. Relieved to find them, he immediately excused himself and approached his brothers. He left a lively Porchay with you, knowing that whatever happens, he will always treat others with warmth and sympathy.

“Kinn,” he called on his second eldest brother. Khun, Porsche and Kinn were talking to a few people that looked to run on their circle. Coming closer, Kim heard them spitting statistics and stock prices with other unfamiliar terms in between. “Kinn,” Kim called his brother again, this time he was successful since the older man turned at the sound of his voice. 

Kinn smiled at the group of men and excused himself. “What’s wrong, Kim?” Kinn asked as soon as he saw the anxious look in his younger brother’s face. “Did something happen?” his Hia was worried.

“Hia, I need to talk to you,” Kim sighed. “But, not here,” he added as he looked at the crowd surrounding them. 

Kinn looked around, seeing the collection of guests scattered all over the events hall. It is very likely that someone will be eavesdropping on their conversation with how packed the hall is.

He nodded at Kim before approaching Khun and Porsche to tell them that they will be stepping away for a while. Kim saw Khun wanting to come with them, but Kinn was able to dissuade him with the help of Porsche. 

A few moments later, Kinn stepped away from the two men and walked towards him. Kinn took his shoulder, laying his arm over it and started dragging him along. Kim voluntarily went with his older brother, feeling relieved that he can talk to him now. Yet, his eyes met yours as they were walking out. You shot him an inquisitive look that he reciprocated with a reassuring one, telling you it’s nothing serious. 

The brothers decided to make full use of the small park inside the mall property. It was filled with plants and large trees, and benches scattered in regular intervals. Kinn pulled his younger brother to the middle of the park where there were less people.

Kinn stared at Kim who was fidgeting beside him. He’s just waiting for the younger male to finally confide in him. Although he already knows about what happened between his brother and Porchay, he does not intrude on his brother’s affairs. Kim already came to him a few times, but all he has ever done is listen to what Kim had to say and advise him on matters objectively.

Kim gulped and rubbed his face with the palm of his hand as he sighed. He took a deep breath before turning towards his brother with confusion in his eyes, like a lost child. “Hia,” Kim called Kinn. He raked his hand through his hair again as he tried to find the right words to phrase his question. “Have you—“ Kinn raised an eyebrow when Kim abruptly stopped. Kim sighed, feeling nervous and apprehensive. He looked away from his brother before uttering his question. “Have you ever thought about not deserving P’Porsche or his love?” Kim rubbed his palm on his thighs to stop himself from fidgeting.

Kinn watched his younger brother as he squirms in his seat and fidget with everything—from his fingers, the helm of his coat to the wood of the bench. He felt a fond smile bloom on his face because of the way Kim was acting beside him. Reminiscing the days when Kim was still young and Kinn was already in high school, he thought his younger brother is the same cranky kid that sulked because he did not get the toy he was asking for. The thought made Kinn release a fond chuckle which caused Kim to look at him with knotted brows. He just shook his head at Kim.

“Why are you laughing?” there was annoyance in Kim’s voice.

“I just remembered something. Don’t mind me,” Kinn answered as he scratched the tip of his nose.

“Just answer my question, Hia,” Kim groaned, feeling anxious and ashamed.

Kinn took a deep breath to calm himself before clearing his throat. “You want to know if I ever thought Porsche was too good for me?” he asked Kim. His younger brother nodded with eagerness and anticipation. He gave him a small smile. “Always,” was his simple answer.

Kinn saw Kim’s curiosity and wonder grow through eyes. He’s sure that his answer both confused and satisfied his brother’s mind. “Why?” Kim asked.

“What do you mean ‘why’?” Kinn asked in confusion.

“Why do you think you don’t deserve P’Porsche?” Kim clarified. He looked intently at his brother, his fingers remained locked and stopped fidgeting.

Kinn looked up at the night sky. There were barely any stars since the city lights are overpowering the glow of most of the celestial bodies. Nevertheless, a small but fond smile remained on his face.

“Everyone knows our story,” Kinn began. His smile dimmed as he remembered the past. “The society we lived in was not as forgiving as it is now,” he gave Kim a side glance. “It was harsher on people like us, people that chose to stray away from what society dictates is right—from what most people deem is normal,” he continued. Kinn sat up straighter and fixed his gaze on the bank of shrubs across from them. “A lot of people were against the kind of relationship we have. People that chose to be open about being gay, loving someone in the same gender and committing to a relationship with that person… were were made outcasts by everyone. It was all taboo,” he scoffed at the thought of every person that called him names and mocked him for everything he is. “I had been afraid of ever admitting that I liked men,” he confessed. 

Kinn noticed his younger brother’s surprised and confused look–eyes bulging, forehead knitted, mouth hanging open. He laughed at his expression. For Kim, his older brother has always been proud about who he is. He never thought Kinn ever felt ashamed or resentful of his identity. 

“Believe me. I had been afraid of telling anyone that I prefer men and don’t find women attractive in that way,” Kinn laughingly said. “It was especially pressuring since our family is such well-respected and revered by most,” he sighed. “But, Porsche… He was a different breed of proud and confident,” Kinn chuckled at the thought of his lover and their first encounter. “He was beating up the asshole that called him a fag when we actually met,” he laughed at the memory.

“What?” Kim was surprised. His brother was only laughing while nodding his head. Kim’s eyebrow knitted in confusion again. “I thought the first time you saw him was at the school fitness gym, when you were coming in to work out,” he recited his brother’s response when they asked how he first met Porsche.

Kinn laughed louder. “That’s just it, Kim,” Kim got even more confused. “I first saw him when we bumped into each other at the fitness gym at school,” Kinn started explaining. “But, I never said that was the first time he saw me nor met me,” he laughed. Kim’s mouth hung loose since his mind is a jumbled mess of confused thoughts. He looked incredulously at his brother. Kinn laughed again because he found his brother’s confusion endearingly funny. “Okay, I’ll explain,” Kinn conceded with a chuckle as he sat straighter and cleared his throat.

“You better. Because my head hurts from trying to understand what you mean,” Kim glared at his brother.

“Like I said, I first saw Porsche when I was entering the school fitness gym some time in junior year at college,” Kinn began with a small smile on his lips.  “He was coming out of the facility with his friends and I was just about to get inside. He was at the head of their group. Hence, he was the one who had to push the glass door open and held it until I was able to get inside. That and his mirthy laugh as he joked with his friends was what caught my attention,” you can see the fondness in Kinn’s expression. 

“He did not really stop to take a good look at me, only I did that with him. I did not formally meet him until 10 months later, when I saw him beating up the asshole that called him names,” Kinn explained. Kim nodded as he slowly understood the situation. He rolled his eyes since his brother can be really sappy, which made the older male laugh hard again. 

“As I was saying, Porsche was a whole different story to me,” Kinn began his story again. “He was never ashamed of who and what he was. Although he does not outrightly say his sexuality or preference, he never hid it either,” a fond and proud smile is permanently etched on his lips at the thought of his lover and his outlook on life. “It was already obvious and there is no need for explanations. That is what he believes," Kinn also adopted that philosophy and found himself happier.

"I was the one who held him back from the fight and dragged him away from the asshole, though that dirtbag deserved the beating he got,” Kinn sneered when he remembered that asshole’s face. “We both were called to the office and got in a little trouble,” he shook his head, a fond smile came back on his lips. “Thankfully, the dean recognized that it was not our faults and only gave us demerits for punishments. Porsche still felt sorry, so he asked me to come and eat with him, his treat, as compensation for also getting me in trouble,” Kinn reminisced. 

The memory will never fade from his mind. He can still remember how Porsche was so impish as he looked embarrassed and shy as he asked Kinn to eat with him. He thinks Porsche was afraid that he would reject, which did not happen. Kinn was happy to take the opportunity and get to know the person that took his breath away a few months prior.

He remembered Porsche not seeming like the son of a powerful family to him. The other man spoke and acted like he came from a normal household, one that does not hold power in the fashion industry. He was kind, humble and compassionate to everyone he met. Porsche dragged him to a food stall where you will eat your food on a table at the side of the street. That was the first time Kinn ever ate at a place like that. Porsche ordered everything his eyes landed on. Surprisingly, Kinn loved the food. They came back many times after that and every moment they spent is a fond memory for the older boy.

“I remembered thinking how interesting of a character he was. Porsche was unashamed, unapologetic and carefree. He was proud of who he is and took no shit from others,” Kinn looked at his brother who was intently listening to him. 

"It is also why I had believed I didn't deserve him," he smiled sadly. "You see, I was ashamed of myself, afraid that everyone will turn their backs on me when they learn about who I am," Kim was about to protest, but his older brother covered his mouth. "I know, you dimwit! I will always have you and Hia Khun, and I'm grateful for that. But, that was then. It's not the case now," he chuckled.

"I believed that he deserves someone who will be proud to say they're his and he is theirs. Porsche deserved someone that can give him the world, unashamed. And, I thought that it was not me," he admitted. 

"I was really conscious of what other people thought about me. Back then, I minded and weighed other people's opinions about me so heavily. I wanted to please everyone that I was unknowingly placing such immense pressure over my shoulders. As I have been saying since earlier, although society has already been accepting of homosexuality, it has not been as welcoming as it is now,” Kinn gulped as he remembered the fear he felt back then. “People had their eyes on our family. We were always watched. I remember hating being born in an influential family as ours,” Kim saw a shameful smirk come about Kinn’s lips. 

“I wished that I was born in a normal family so that people would not care about me and not watch my every move,” Kinn confessed as he crossed his legs. “I was also envious of Porsche and how carefree he is despite the circumstances we face,” Kinn leaned back more comfortably in their seat. 

“As I was saying, after realizing I was slowly falling for Porsche but thinking I’m not good enough, I was okay with being his friend, but nothing beyond that. Not that I did not want to. Oh, you have no idea how much I yearned for that jerk of a lover of mine," Kinn cannot help but chuckle at his foolishness and naivety. 

"That bullshit of a hoax I was trying to pull lasted for almost half a year. And, it was pure torture," Kim can see the pain still lingering inside his older brother's eyes. He can't describe how profound it looked on the older man. "It was a kind of torture that eats you from the inside and destroys everything within you. Each instance that I see him smile, watch him laugh and be himself made me fall for him even more. Each second and moment that I was not able to tell him how I feel and claim him as mine was excruciating,” Kinn’s voice broke, as if he was living that time again. “It pained me so deeply that I cannot proudly tell the world that I love that man with all of my being. I was so deep into my denial and my struggle to restrain myself that I was blinded. It made me blind to his feelings, that I was already hurting him unknowingly," Kinn looked at his brother and gave him a sad smile. "And, honestly, it's what you are doing to Porchay and yourself right now, dear brother," he uttered frankly.

Kim felt ashamed because of the honest evaluation his brother gave him. He dropped his head so his brother would not see tears brim his eyes. Although his brothers do not meddle with his life, he knows that they can still see and notice everything. However he tries to hide, there is no cover that his brothers cannot penetrate. 

Kim felt Kinn wrap him in a warm embrace. It was a hug that meant to tell Kim he does not need to put a front nor pretend to not hurt in front of his brothers. Kinn was telling him that he's always available for Kim to approach and always ready to listen. The hug was full of warmth, comfort and love that the tears Kim was trying so hard to suppress freely fell.

"You're brave and strong, our little brother," Kinn stroked his back to comfort and appease him. "But, Kim, sometimes our strength comes from our weaknesses. We sometimes need to be vulnerable to be strong, little brother," he continued. Kim let out a sob as his last straw of strength flushed out of his body. He held onto his brother's arms that tightened around him more. 

"I know you were afraid to feel and seem vulnerable in front of Chay, Kimhan. And, I understand where you are coming from. I see why you refuse to. But, Kimhan," Kinn pulled one of his hands away to stroke Kim's hair. "Being the older one does not mean you need to be strong all the time, because you don't. It's okay to fall apart, little brother. Let Chay piece you back together. That is all he ever wants from you," was Kinn's advice.

Kinn continued to hold his younger brother as he cried his eyes out. Although it breaks his heart to hear his brother's sobs, he can't do anything but let him release everything he feels. Kim needs to cry his eyes out. It took a whole year before he let it happen, anyway. Kim needed this, and he was grateful that Kinn was there to somehow hold him together as he fell apart.

“We’re not the ones who can say what other people deserve, Kim. Neither one of us had the right to,” Kinn spoke again as he continually tried to comfort his brother. “That was what Porsche taught me. It’s what I wanted you to realize, baby bro,” he told him. 

It took a while for Kim to stop crying. Kinn slowly let go as he felt Kim gradually calm down. Kim rubbed his face with his palm, uncaring of erasing his makeup. He felt his older brother pat his back as he rose out of his despair. Wiping his remaining tears away, Kim looked up at the night sky and watched what glittering stars were showing. 

“I took his choice away by doing this, did I?” he asked his brother. Kinn looked at him, a glimmer of pride shining in his eyes. He hummed in assent to Kim’s question. “That was unfair of me,” Kim sighed with the realization. It’s not a question, but Kinn still hummed in assent. 

The brothers remain silent for some time. Kim was reflecting on everything—from his decisions, insecurities, opinions and what he assumed was the right thing for him and Porchay. Kinn let his brother have his silence, to think and reflect. He was happy to just accompany him, to be there for him, to not let him feel alone. 

“It’s the right thing to do, right?” Kinn heard his younger brother ask after a few moments. He turned to look at Kim. “It’s what I should do, right?” Kim asked again as he turned to his brother. 

Kinn’s eyes looked directly and intently at the younger man’s. He saw fear and apprehension clouding them. Yet, he can also see a resolve that was missing from those sad eyes the past year. This resolve was made from love, one that was pure and unconditional. Although there is not much context to the question, he knows that what his brother is thinking about involves the decision he has to make for his relationship.

Kinn patted his brother’s shoulder before standing up. “Always remember, Kim,” he said as straightens his suit. Kinn looked at his younger brother with an encouraging smile as he pulled on the sleeve of his suit to fix it, “Khun and I will always be behind you, no matter what you decide to do,” he continued as he buttoned his coat. He gave Kim one last shoulder pat before walking away, back to where he knows his lover is anxiously waiting for him.

DATING ATEEZ A⇴Z HEADCANON ⇴ Choi Jongho

A ⇴ AFFECTION

Jongho is the definition of a cuddler, he always loves to have his arms wrapped around you and have you by his side. It’s an instinct for him to close any distance between the two of you when you’re in a close proximity of one another.

B ⇴ BEFORE DATING

You ended up catching Jongho’s eye several times at a coffee store by the studio, and the many glances he sent your way were something several of the boys quickly picked up on. He was far too shy to approach you though, and so with the boys behind him, he was eventually pushed into your direction, forcing him to introduce himself to you.

C ⇴ CONFESSION

When it came to confessing, Jongho was just as shy, and so he ended up confessing to you in a slightly tipsy manner. He’d convinced himself a bottle of soju would be enough to calm him down, but after drinking a little more, he ended up a little worse for wear. That didn’t stop him confessing to you at your door though, although he woke up the following morning with the memory, and a little hangover too.

D ⇴ DATES

Jongho was someone who tended to be quite private, and so your dates would often be in the comfort of your own homes, or where few people would be able to find the two of you. You were incredibly understanding of how private Jongho was of his personal life, more than happy to hang out at the dorm or have him at your place instead. Movie nights and takeout began to trend for the two of you, it didn’t take long before you knew each other’s orders off by heart, and the exact category on Netflix to browse too.

E ⇴ EXPERIENCE

Even speaking to a woman seemed like quite the task for Jongho before he started dating you, he was incredibly introverted and hated speaking to anyone that he wasn’t comfortable around. And so, for him dating was an incredibly big leap of faith, slowly bringing him out of his shell. It took a little while for him to know the dos and don’ts of a relationship, but with a bit of help from the boys, and honesty with you, he soon found himself relaxing and learning plenty about himself along the way as well.

F ⇴ FIGHTING

Although he can be quite the introvert, Jongho has a habit of getting angry quite easily too. If you’ve misplaced your keys and make him late, or don’t tidy up when you say you will, he’ll often find himself having to bite his tongue and keep himself calm. He tries his hardest to hold onto his temper around you, the last thing he wants to do is get angry at you, but if he can’t help it, and his frustrations slip out, you tend to take it. You know how irritable he can be, but you also know that when he’s calmed himself down too, he’ll always be straight over to apologise and make up for the hurt that he caused.

G ⇴ GETTING TO KNOW HIS FAMILY

He was more nervous than you were when it came to meeting his family, Jongho wanted the afternoon to go faultlessly, worrying about even the smallest of details. Although, he was far from surprised when he saw how well you got on with his family, and how quickly they welcomed you as one of their own.

H ⇴ HOME

A lot of Jongho’s time is spent at your apartment, it’s quiet, secretive, and the perfect place for him to relax, especially if he’s had a difficult time. Rooming with two others is a little bit difficult on your relationship, so your place is usually preferred, especially when there’s no one else around who can disturb you both.

I ⇴ “I LOVE YOU”

Jongho was the first to say, ‘I love you,’ much to your surprise. It was late at night, the two of you had spent hours talking about anything that came to mind, which was an experience Jongho adored. So much so, that he ended up finding himself telling you exactly how he felt about you, and how happy he was to be with you.

J ⇴ JEALOUSY

Words were helpless whenever Jongho got jealous, he much preferred to use actions, making his tall presence known, and getting a little more affectionate around you too. He’d often observe a situation closely, and if he felt like he needed to step in, he would. Although he wouldn’t say anything, you’d know instantly by the way his arms would move around you or his shoulders would push past someone that he was feeling jealous, and desperate to make his presence a little more known in the group.

K ⇴ KIDS

Whenever the two of you spoke about the future, Jongho always got incredibly shy. He was used to being the youngest, the child of the group almost, but as he got older, he knew children of his own was something to start thinking about. Whilst he loved to look to the future with you, he’d almost always do it with blushed cheeks and excited tone, thinking about everything that would happen in the future.

L ⇴ LAUGHTER

Around most people, Jongho was a quieter member of the group, but around those closer to him, like you, Jongho really began to show how funny he was. He was always making smart remarks, especially teasing his elders in the group, which would make you smile. He also loved to attack you, he’d often creep up behind you and tickle you or make you laugh, he just couldn’t help it when he loved the sound of your laughter so much. His humour was his way of letting you know how comfortable he was, and so when the jokes began, you were relieved to know Jongho had really opened up to you.

M ⇴ MISSING

The introverted side of Jongho would always be the sign that the other members needed to know that he was missing you. He’d go very quiet, and very private, not wanting to talk about you to anyone. Little things would frustrate him, and his temper would often get the better of him when your name was brought up, only because he missed you so much. Although Jongho might seem strong to most, when he’s missing you, he’ll go into his large shell and very much keep himself to himself, not wanting to worry the others too much, and avoid any conversation that revolved around you.

N ⇴ NICKNAMES

You loved to tease him and would often call him, ‘muscles.’ Secretly it was the boost to Jongho’s humble ego that he needed and would almost always lead to him pulling you into a tight hug to show off how strong he was.

O ⇴ OBSESSION

He was obsessed with your hugs, as much as he wanted to be able to hug you, Jongho also loved the security that came with you wrapping your arms around him too.

P ⇴ PDA

Jongho would often use his frame to keep you safe and guide you whenever you were out in public. His stance was one people tended to step away from, and so with an arm around your waist, he’d be able to use his body to protect you well and make sure that you got enough space to keep yourself calm in busy situations.

Q ⇴ QUESTIONS

Whenever Jongho goes a little too quiet for your liking, you’ll ask him how he’s doing and make sure that nothing is on his mind. He’ll always promise you that it’s nothing and go back to talking to you as if nothing’s happened.

R ⇴ RANDOM FACTS

You’ll often walk around your apartment and hear Jongho singing himself, usually a strong ballad. He always gets incredibly shy singing around you, so you’ll often have to wait until he’s alone to overhear him singing in another room. As soon as he notices that you’ve caught him though, he’ll go quiet, refusing to sing anymore, covering his red cheeks with his hands, trying to run away from your compliments.

S ⇴ SEX

Jongho always uses his strength with you when it comes to intimacy, although he’s not a rough kind of dom, he’ll definitely dominate in terms of being the one to move you around and put you exactly where he wants you. Jongho is also the best at aftercare too, he’ll always gets shy, so he’ll insist on running you a bath or something so you can spend some time alone and he can spend some time calming himself down.

T ⇴ TEXTS

He prides himself on being able to pick up on the little things, and so when you’re not feeling great, he’ll know, and text. He can tell in your replies how you’re truly feeling, and act from there how he sees as best.

U ⇴ UNIVERSE

You have to deal with a lot when it comes to Jongho’s career, he never quite understands how you do it with a smile on your face. But one thing he does understand, is how thankful he is to constantly have you at his side and supporting him.

V ⇴ VACATION

The moment he overhears you mentioning a place that you might like to visit, he’s looking at websites and finding trips that go out there. His eye for close detail means he can pick up on a lot of the things you talk about that you like, and make sure that he ends up arranging the best holiday for you as a result of it.

W ⇴ WHINING

Although Jongho doesn’t tend to whine, instead he’ll use his affection to let you know that he wants you and get a little cuddlier around you too.

X ⇴ XXXXX

Despite being much more of a hugger than a kisser, that doesn’t stop Jongho being incredibly sweet whenever he kisses you. When he spots a bit of exposed skin when he’s hugging you, he won’t be afraid to press his lips against you, with the surprise often leaving your cheeks turning a light shade of red. Jongho loves more than anything to make you shy with his affection, knowing that his kisses are the weakness to do that.

Y ⇴ YOU

You were his best friend, Jongho could never imagine life without you there.

Z ⇴ ZZZ

Of course, as Jongho always did, he was incredibly cuddly at night with you too. He’d hold onto your body as tight as possible most nights, refusing to let you go, making sure that you enjoyed laying in his strong embrace.

ABOUT THE MUN:

Bee. 21+. She/her. I’m a fandom old, and have been in and out of RP'ing for many years. Minors DNI.

--- I abide by the Three Laws of Fandom, and expect my followers to do the same. All ships, potential triggers, etc. are tagged. Please filter/blacklist according to your interests. Users who send and/or promote hate for ships will be immediately blocked without discussion.

THE MUSES:

The Corinthian - created as a nightmare three thousand years ago, the Corinthian was made to serve as the dark mirror to humanity. His primary function is to hunt and terrorize dreamers, before removing their eyes and consuming them with his own.

He is an old nightmare, one of the Dreaming’s major arcana, and his lust for blood and death makes him an ideal weapon. 

Subsequently uncreated during his century-long rampage through the waking world, he was recreated three years later after Lord Morpheus made several small alterations to his psyche.

*The Sandman show!canon is my primary characterization, with adapted comics canon beyond season 1. With mortal OCs, I generally write him appearing to them in their nightmares or during his escape in the waking world. If you’d like me to write him in another canon verse, kindly DM and we can plot.

Dream of the Endless - I write both Morpheus and Daniel, and use show!canon as my primary characterization, with adapted comics canon for storylines that go beyond season 1.

Morpheus - Though many view him as cold, Morpheus holds himself distant from most because he must bear the weight of the collective human sub-conscious. On the rare occasion that he allows someone in, he always holds part of himself back as an act of self-preservation.

Daniel - The polar opposite of Morpheus, the newest aspect of Dream is humble, kind, and affectionate. He gives freely of himself and cares deeply for his subjects, and is unafraid to show it. His main flaw lies in his naivety, and though he has all of Morpheus’ memories, he is somewhat detached from them, and often has to stop and sift through ten billion years worth of memories before deciding on a course of action.

While he was borne from Daniel Hall’s essence, he does not answer to that name and does not consider Lyta Hall his mother.

*I generally only write Dream in the Sandman universe. So much of his characterization is dependent on his function, so please keep this in mind. I am open to AUs/other canons as long as I can still write him as the Sandman/the king of dreams. 

STARTER TAG - open to all. No need to be a mutual to send; if you’re not sure of a plot, this is a great way to break the ice between our muses.

MEME TAG - open to all. No need to be a mutual to send.

GUIDELINES:

1) Semi-selective and Open - Semi-selective due to real life time constraints, but if you’d like to write with me, please feel free to ask! Being Open means you can send in starters and memes without being mutuals. I don’t always follow back, but don’t let that stop you from reaching out via DM’s. I’m always open to ice-breaker plots to try things out. :) You can find my starter tag here.

2) We do not have to be mutuals before you message me. If you’d like to plot, please  send an ask or a direct message, and I’ll be sure to follow back then!

Also, please note that this is a side-blog, and I follow back with my main blog: @exastrisad

3) I prefer plots that are both romantic and plot-heavy (give me angst, action, suspense and I will love you forever). I write nsfw*, but can also fade to black if my partner prefers.

*When it comes to nsfw scenes, I prefer to write my muses as the top/dominant partner, (yes, even Daniel!Dream) but I’m open to discussion.

4) I write adult threads with dark and/or mature themes. I will not write nsfw scenes with anyone below the age of 21. No exceptions.

5) I multi-ship, but in canon I enjoy Dream/The Corinthian and if the chemistry is right, Dream/Hob. I am happy to write with canons from other media, and I am very OC-friendly.

6) I only write para, multi-para, and novella threads. (Short para exchanges are completely fine, though!)

TRIGGER WARNINGS: ALL canon-typical warnings apply. The Corinthian is his own warning, so please tread carefully.

[nonclassyparty]

ur really good at breaking hearts aren’t you ;-;

the series was so good, def a recommend. THE WAY YOU PORTRAYED EACH RELATIONSHIP WAS TOP NOTCH CUS LIKE THE WRITING WAS CHEFS KISS

ranting time :D

even if yunho apologized, i won’t forgive him for literally rebounding w y/n. like, your first LOVE??? a REBOUND??? WTF MAN. that’s fucked up, and i’m not taking any apologies cus that’s just not right. although at first they were like my otp for this series, that little illusion of a fantasy faded away so quickly after the rebound sex.

next up is yeosang. first of all, although he was a fuckboy, my bby didn’t get enough appearances throughout the story ;-;. i really wanted to see how he contributed to y/n throughout her life, but tbh he just seemed like a good fuck to her and she just left him cus y/n just didn’t want to become attached, which is understandable, but still, no mentions of yeo further on in the story??? :(

HONGJOONG. MY BOY. caught up in the classic at the grocery store. ILL GIVE YOU THE LOVE YOU NEED BBY ;-; honestly i felt bad cus of what he went through, and i felt like he genuinely liked y/n, but was a bit of a pussy to actually tell her, since it seemed like a fling if you think abt it. uk, going on a trip w friends, hooking up, developing some sort of an affectionate relationship only to come back and realize it was just a trip where it all happened. if hongjoong made a move, then i feel like they would’ve been a cute couple, since y/n did show some mixed signals at that time tbh.

seonghwa, you may be my ultimate bias, but never have i ever hated you so much in a fanfiction. AND AUTHOR I CANT BELIEVE YOU MADE ME HATE ON THE PARK SEONGHWA. ofc, that rich boy aura is what i mainly hated, but the fact that he went so shallow to degrade her like that?? man wtf. who r u to think that she’s just some basic bitch. maybe if you were genuinely interested and wanted to get to know her better, then you would’ve acc fuckin done things that she likes. she obviously said she doesn’t like the parties, so wHY TF R U FORCING HER TO GO. IN THAT MEANTIME YOU COULD LIKE WATCH HER FAVOURITE MOVIE TOGETHER OR SUCH IDK CUDDLE AND BE A COUPLE. But NOOOOOOOO MY FRIENDS THIS MY FRIENDS THAT 🙃. like man shut the actual fuck up cus i don’t give a flying fuck abt your rich snobby friends. but at least she got humbled so ig thanks for that…🤷‍♀️

WOOYOUNG. my GOD wooyoung. another otp, and i STILL stand by that. wooyoung did not deserve that, and ik you all agree. he gave her all she wanted, and so did she to him. and i get that the past events that happened to her might’ve made her paranoid. but i feel like the more mature thing to have done was like talk it out w him. she could’ve just told him that she feels like she’s boring to him or smth idk. remember y’all, the most important thing in a relationship is COMMUNICATION. if she actually VOICED OUT what she felt, then wooyoung would’ve definitely been a sweetheart and helped her out with her worries, and i feel like he would’ve been the best husband to her. but, life goes on, and i’m happy that he found another girl after y/n broke up with him. still salty abt it though >:(

choi jongho. definition: deeeefinitely a parasite in this series. don’t get me wrong, i love him sm, but like using y/n for grades n shit? (ignoring the fact that i’m lowkey forgetting what happened in the part). seokjin, my man, if i were in this story, i would’ve kissed you so many times. this man killed it, and i love how even the fuckin therapist couldn’t take y/n’s ‘but he’s my friend’ bullshit. so what? he’s your friend? fuck that shit i’d drop him the moment i realized he’s using me for notes. right then and there.

if i were to be honest, my toxic trait is loving someone too much to even have the strength to leave them, and if i were in y/n’s position, i would’ve stayed with mingi. which i know, is such a BIG red flag flying around IN MY FACE. mingi was such a sweetheart, and truly actually loved y/n, but the fact that he still went behind her back for NINE FUCKING MONTHS to FUCK HIS EX??? that’s a bit…ugh. moving on…

i would never rant abt choi san in this series, so i’m gonna praise him. but like imagine, the man who offered your first crush a blunt would be the very man you marry and have kids with. i find that so funny and sweet. i had a feeling from the beginning of the story that san would somehow play a major role in this series, and when he encouraged y/n to confess to yunho, i had a bit of a hunch, since he did seem a bit more playful and like kinda weird from then. when he yelled at jongho for talking shit abt y/n, i knew right then and there, yep he’s the one. he’s the one that y/n will marry.

but anyways in conclusion, i’m convinced that if y/n went lesbian, then this bullshit wouldn’t have happened. /j

woah, this message was a read thank you for the ranting time, i loved reading it but the part with san being the guy who offered her first crush a blunt ending up the guy she marries made me bust out in laughter bc i completely forgot about that 😭 😭

[cabinofimagines]

Lester’s ABCs

A/N: We be loving one awkward, human god -Danny

Warnings: A bit of swearing bc I can’t stop myself

Word count: 1,330

Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

I think that he’s pretty chill, he’s a new person now, and enjoys the little things more than he used to, Lester is happy camping in your living room or eating pizza at the park while feeding pigeons. Only when the occasion is really special he would do something more god-like

Beauty - What do they admire in their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

He likes your smile, and your singing, even if it’s not great he’s jokingly offered to turn you into a muse but he’s not actually joking and that worries you lmao

Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

He sings to you, usually pours a bit of his own powers to make the song ease you and help you sleep, the next morning he usually welcomes you into a whole day of self-care with your favourite meals and facemasks while binge-watching your fave shows/movies

Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

If you don’t want to live forever as his godly partner, he probably will turn you into either a beautiful melody or a constellation. If your time will be limited by mortal boundaries he’ll make sure to give you the most beautiful experiences and gifts anyone could ever ask for.

Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

He’s a wonderful simp. Very passive and would live happy the rest of his life if he could just stare at you for the rest of his existence, you make all the decisions and he really doesn’t mind one bit

Fight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

He whines a lot when he’s tired or hungry, but really apart from that he just??? is never angry??? When you’re angry he gives you space and lets you do what you have to do to feel better but you guys never have big fights

Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

I think that we can all agree that after the hell he went through Lester is one of the most grateful boys out there, he’s just so so happy you chose him to spent your WHOLE life with him. Him. You want to live the only life you got with him? That’s amazing.

Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

He’s open even about the things you really don’t want to know lmao like the partners he used to have to the weird shit he used to do as a godly teenager. If you think normal teens are weird imagine one with mighty power.

Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

He’s afraid to forget what he’s learnt as a human, you make sure to keep him humble, he’s helped you to learn to love yourself, every little flaw is a spark of singularity now, he makes you feel unique.

Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

He’s the kind of guy to crush on the same people you have crushes on lol I wouldn’t say he’s jealous once you guys are together, he’s more the type to be like ‘Oh gods, did you see that? They smiled at you– Love you should ask them out. What? I know we’re together but c’mon you can’t just say no to that??’ He’s aware that you’re cute and that he can’t stop others from noticing. 

Kiss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

The first kiss was all shy and sweet but don’t worry, he definitely got better at it with time

Love Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

Probably blurted it out while you were training and he just couldn’t help himself. He falls in love to easily, the poor idiot

Memory - What’s their favourite memory together?

When you compliment him with that bright smile of yours, whenever you two dance around late at night and you look at him like he’s your entire world he MELTS

Nicknames - What do they call their s/o?

Very classy and old-fashioned names. He can’t help it, he’s been alive for too long and ‘babe’ simply doesn’t cut it for him. Only the best types of nicknames for you. 

On Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

A lovesick fool just like Leo, but he’s more devoted to you that he is to his own duties, will try to spend every waking minute of his life serving you. Others wish they were dating a god if only just to be treated the way Lester treats you.

PDA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

He’s a very touchy boy, hardly ever stops himself before kissing you in front of others, it may be awkward for your friends but honestly who cares, enjoy those smooches honey.

Quirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.

Maybe the fact that he’s a literal god lmao

Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

VERY CLICHE BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN IT ISN’T GREAT. He’s cheesy and melts at your feet and will elope with you no questions asked if that’s what you wish to do.

Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

If you want the moon he’ll make sure you get it. If you want to go to college he’ll support you and pay your tuition if you want, actually what’s harder is to convince him that you don’t him to help you all the time

Thrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice up your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

He likes the easy routines, the mortal lifestyle is comforting. However, if you ever make the mistake to say ‘Man I wish i could see Area 51 from the inside, like, I just need to SEE’ in front of him... yeah, that was an interesting wednesday

Understanding - How well do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

He always knows exactly what you need when you need it. Empathetic is saying too little. 

Value - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

He’s lost so many partners already that treasures every minute he gets with you, you’re worth every little irky bad thing that could ever happen. He protects you like it’s his duty.

Wild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

Lester learned to cook the ‘mortal way’ just so he could give you a nice birthday surprise. It went terribly but at least he took you to your favourite restaurant afterwards.

XOXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

Again, very touchy fella.

Yearning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

When he’s got to attend some Olympus business or when you have to go on a quest, he’s always worry about you, he hates that this is the life you’re destined to have, but the love you have for each other makes up for it.

Zeal - are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

He’s a god, he’s an extra little shit of course he’s willing to sacrifice everything.
