[ LAVENDER ] Ari lays her head in Vale's lap and closes her eyes.

𝐀 𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐒 .

Hills of lavender, a bird's eye view would reveal a sea of purple petals that perfectly caught the drops of moonlight. The moon, waxing brightly in the sky, just having left its half-full phase a few days prior, was Vale and Ariadne's guide towards the west. From town to town, the lone knight escorted the runaway princess. Each stop they rested at, more memories were saved, more memories were made. A small journal rested in Vale's pocket, a memoir of things, a sketchbook of sights.

Their lips slightly parted, Vale hummed a soft tune they had learned a few villages back. The melody was soft, dancing in Vale's falsetto, a voice crack joining in every here and there, but none of them seemed to open Ariande's eyes. Oh, Ariadne, a most trusted friend, the biggest miracle they've ever met their entire journey. The world seemed to move around her, the energy surrounding herself just dazzling and basking in the moonlight.

"You know, wayfarer--" Vale's song paused as they glanced down to her face, their own lips turning upwards in glee, a shiny toothed smile sent Ariadne's way. "I'm happy our paths crossed. I don't think I'd want to share this moonlit night with anyone else. I hope all our nights are like this, filled with adventure, with a safe place to call home."

It's no use. I've tried everything.

"...not to ask a stupidly obvious question..." Steve began with a slight sigh punctuating the brief pause before he resumed his thought, "...but you did actually charge your phone and made sure the charger was fully plugged in before you tried to charge it, right?"

Answering his question before Margot had the opportunity to do so herself, he held up the already unplugged charger cord, though the usb cord through which it charged was still in the adaptor at least, so...she had done it halfway, technically. Steve might not have grown up with smartphones the way she had, but he was decently enough adjusted to them, and he at least knew how to plug in things. Sometimes the simplest answer was the right one after all.

Amnesia World: School World (Ikki's Let's Dance Hangout+CG)

In terms of the gameplay: Whenever you’re given a choice in the game, the translation will lead to the different choices. The name of your MC will be Y/N (your name) in the translation, but in game screenshots it might mention my name.

Orion: Hmm… I'm not sure if he's around at the moment, but he'd probably be the best choice for this.

Ikki: Ah…. There you are. I was looking for you. 

Orion: Ikki… ! I thought he was skipping again, but he's actually joining in… 

Ikki: You haven't teamed up with anyone yet, right? So, why don't you pair up with me?

Orion: And he's so proactive about the event too… ! He might have been affected by the headmaster's last words as well.

Ikki: …Is it surprising that I'm going to participate? You're quite easy to read. It's basically written on your face. 

You see, this time is special. I do value my life after all.

Orion: …He does, huh? Ikki's attitude changed a lot, and it's probably because of what the headmaster said.

He said he'd watch the performance, so we can't do any sloppy dancing… I'm sure you've got this!

Ikki: Ah, right. He said we could ask for anything if we won, right? Does it have to be materialistic, or can it be anything...?

For instance… privileges above those of the student council president.

Orion: …Eh?

Ikki: His period as student council president ends next month, so I'd like to try to make him prostrate himself before then.

If we win, we could compel the student council president to do something he would never normally do. Hehe… I wonder what his face would look like.

Orion: …To do that, we need to win, though. Ikki's a really interesting person, isn't he?

But… He seems more motivated than ever, so I guess you should help him out. 

…Besides, wouldn't it be fun to have more privileges than Kent?

Minigame

BONUS CG

Orion: I'm glad you guys won this dance competition is what I'd like to say. But…

Ikki: Fufu… I'm in a higher position than the student council now…

Orion: …Is it just me, or does it feel like a storm is on the way? Nope, it's not just in my head…

???: Attention all students! The victors seek greater privileges than the president of the student council…

The president of the student council will now present the sash. That is all!

Ikki: Sash… ?

Kent: …This is what he meant.

Orion: Wah, when did he get here… !? What's in his hand… ?

Ikki: Hm? "Today's star" is written on it.

Kent: For today only, you will have more power than the student council president.

This sash notifies the other student about it. If you don't wear this sash, no one will listen to you.

Ikki: …..

Kent: …..

Ikki: If you believe I will give up on it because you said that, you are greatly mistaken. Give it to me.

Ikki: …And? Can't defy me now, can you?

Kent: …..

Ikki: You have been nagging me so much up until now. It is only right that I thank you for it.

Orion: …Looks like my gut feeling was spot on. What's the first thing he's gonna have Kent do?

Ikki: It's unfortunate that I only have one day to utilize this, but that means I have to think carefully of how to use this power.

Y/N, thanks to you, we won and can do this now.

I am sure you have at least ten to twenty things you would like the student council president to do, right? 

Orion: Y-You don't have that many, do you? But… Who knows if you'll ever get the chance to do this again, though…

Ikki: You always speak in a formal tone to everyone; how about changing that for today?

Not a bad idea having the student council president talk like that. In fact, this could be an opportunity to lose the stiff image you've had up until now.

Orion: That's something I'd like to see too. Who would’ve guessed that something this unlikely would turn out to be so fascinating?

Ikki: Now then, let's think about how we want him to talk. This will be fun… Fufu.

love love love your orv doodles!! ❤️❤️❤️could you perhaps doodle fluffy domestic kdj and yjh? Idrc the specifics just fluffy and domestic!!

Aaaa thank youuu 🥹🥹🥹💕 here are the dorks being so in love.

Was thinking that when dokja comes back from work, he goes to yjh and bothers him until he's fed (Joonghyuk loves seeing Dokja's face of delight when he eats his food although he likes to pretend he's doing dokja a favor by giving him a taste)

Also Dokja on his tippy toes.... So adorable....

Can he deal with a spider for you?

_______

(All seven brothers. Reader is afraid of spiders and asks him to get rid of one for them)

_______

Lucifer

He’s not scared of spiders, absolutely he can do it.

He might be exasperated about being dragged away from his work for such a minor thing, but if you’re genuinely terrified he’ll get it done for you with nothing more than a sigh.

I can’t imagine he would bother to spend the extra time on capturing and releasing, so he’d just crush it.

But he WOULD bother to spend the time to help you calm down after it’s dead, if you’re still freaked out. Annoyed he may be, but he still loves you.

He helps. He gives really good hugs.

Plus, it’s pretty hard to stay scared when you have Lucifer on your side. Nothing in all three realms can out-scary Lucifer. There’s nowhere safer than under his protection.

All in all, he’s capable and efficient, makes you feel safe, but loses points for being annoyed about it lol

7/10

Mammon

He’s afraid of many things, but spiders are not one of them, I think. It’s not uncommon to see spider motifs in casinos and such, so I think he can stand to look at them.

He can do it. He’s not even annoyed to be called on, he likes having opportunities to protect you. He is a good guardian!

He would be readily available too, because he’s usually hanging around you. No need to go looking for him.

He might pretend to be annoyed/unwilling, in his usual tsundere fashion. Halfheartedly complaining as he’s in the middle of actively doing as you asked. What a dork.

He’d roll his eyes, but WOULD take the extra time to catch and release instead of killing it if you asked.

He would give you a hug to calm you down after disposing of it, and then be very confused when you freak out worse because he didn’t wash his hands after dealing with the spider.

Then he’d correct that so he can successfully comfort you. You’re soft with him when HE’S scared, so he’ll be soft with you when you’re scared. He’ll deal with his brothers making fun of him for it later.

He’d never admit out loud that he’s a coward, but he knows it’s true. He’s very sympathetic to his human for having an irrational fear as well.

He’s very happy that he can make you feel safe.

9/10

Levi

Is confused at first. You’ve faced down angry demons and mortal peril so many times, and you’re scared of a bug?

He’s not scared, he’s THE Leviathan, the oceans are his to command! He’s seen WAAAY freakier creatures in the ocean, a spider is nothing!

But… it also… doesn’t defer to him, like ocean monstrosities do. It’s just… staring at him!! Menacingly!! M-maybe he’s a little freaked out…

Doesn’t matter, he insists to himself. This is his opportunity to protect his Henry! He will defend you, he is capable, he will defeat this creepy bug for you!

He advances upon this small enemy, cup and paper in hand. This is nothing more than a low level video game enemy! He’s good at this!

And then it starts mOVING, it’s RUNNING AT HIM AAAA—oh, hi Lotan.

… So uhh. Good news, the spider is dead. Bad news, the house is flooding and Lotan is inside. Lucifer’s gonna be pissed…

(Also, if you had happened to see the spider while he was gaming, you’d have to really beg him to come help you. Once he realizes it’s you, he’s on his way. But it’ll take a bit.)

4/10

Satan

If it were any of his brothers asking him to come get a spider for them, he would make fun of them relentlessly. But it’s you, so he will be nice.

Or. He will try to be nice. If you interrupted his reading or his homework (or dragged him away from a cat!), he’ll be annoyed. Now that you and him are close, he’s not really in the habit of lying to your face anymore. So… you’ll be able to tell.

You don’t dare tell him not to kill it.

Hiding behind him, you point out the spider. He regards it scornfully. Rolling his eyes at it where you can’t see.

With a flick of his finger, the spider is magically vaporized.

He softens as you thank him for saving you, especially if you continue to cling to him from your hiding spot behind him.

He’ll reach over his shoulder to pat your head and reassure you. He’ll tell you that it’s okay to call on him for this sort of thing again if you really need to, he’s not actually mad, he loves you, you’re alright.

6/10

Asmo

You might THINK Asmo would hate spiders, because he’s notorious for despising anything unsightly. But no. Scorpions are also arachnids. Asmo is pro-arachnid. That spider is friend-shaped to him!

So when you run to him all freaked out, he can’t help but feel a bit offended on the spider’s behalf.

He’ll let you hide behind him, but that’s not super helpful honestly, because he’ll pick it up and coo over it

He’s like, “look, it’s okay, he’s not gonna hurt you! Look at that beautiful pattern, look at those eyes, he’s gorgeous!” as he actively offers it to you to admire (completely oblivious to the possibility of the spider legit being pretty dangerous to you. Asmo is much more venom resistant than you are!)

… as long as you don’t let him put the damn creature in your hand, this may be helpful for you if you’re just scared of spiders. Desensitization and all. But it’s NOT helpful one bit if you have full-blown arachnophobia! Phobias can’t be reasoned with so easily! Being forced to be so close to a spider before you’re good and ready is actually very detrimental to someone with a phobia!

Concern for you wins out over offense as you tremble and hyperventilate, frantically stumbling away from Asmo and his terrifying new friend.

He tries to come reassure you, but that makes it worse because he sTILL HASN’T PUT THE DAMN SPIDER AWAY

He gets the hint when you flinch away from him. He’ll go put the spider outside. He’ll make sure you see/hear him washing his hands before approaching you again. He’ll even turn out his pockets to reassure you that he has definitely put the spider outside.

He apologizes for making it worse and offers some sorely needed comfort.

Still, later he’s totally gonna be telling you all about various spiders and trying to get you to see the beauty in them. He’s your number one ally for getting over this fear.

He doesn’t really get it if you’ve got a phobia instead of a regular, garden-variety fear, but he won’t be insensitive again.

Points for learning and open-mindedness, minus points for being very unhelpful at simply removing a spider for you.

2/10

Beel

You might THINK that Beel would be your best bet for this… but no!

Big and strong and protective he may be, but Beel is a fly! Spiders eat flies! It is hardwired into him to be terrified of them, even though he is much bigger and can kill them easily. They’re not REALLY a threat to him, but…

He might be more scared than you are.

As soon as he sees it, HE tries to hide behind YOU.

Beel is actually on the verge of tears. He wants to take you and run, but if he takes his eyes off it who KNOWS where it’ll end up?? You’ll both be paranoid for days if it escapes!

He calls for Belphie to come rescue you both. Belphie shows up to find you and Beel both trying to hide in each other’s embrace. Cowering in a corner, trembling as you cling to each other, both staring, glassy eyed and terrified, at a spider chilling on the wall across the room.

Belphie is used to this. It’s the one and only time he gets to protect Beel, instead of the other way around. He does a good job. The spider is efficiently defeated and disposed of.

Points for making you feel better about being scared and for indirectly solving the problem for you. Minus points for not actually being able to remove the spider for you

5/10

Belphie

Now, if you choose to go to Belphie for help… well, that’s a bold choice if you don’t already know about Beel’s arachnophobia.

He’s a brat and a prankster and you KNOW this

He is so tempted to pick it up and taunt you with it… but he won’t.

He’s not trying to give you something ELSE to forgive him for. He will never choose to break your trust again. If you’re actually scared, he’s not going to make it worse.

Shockingly, Belphie is actually the best one to go to about this.

You asking for his help with this specifically actually really endears you to him. Reminds him of Beel. You have unlocked the elusive responsible/protective/reassuring Belphie!

He’s not scared of spiders at all, this is the one fear that he won’t ever use to prank you if it’s as bad as Beel’s is, and he’s very practiced at helping a loved one with arachnophobia. Perfect, surprisingly enough!

He’ll kill it without hesitation, unless you specifically ask him to release it outside.

He absolutely knows to wash his hands and make sure you can see that there’s no trace of the spider on him or in the room before approaching you. Beel would freak out if he didn’t. He knows the drill.

He happily takes the time to comfort you and make sure you’ve calmed down once it’s disposed of. He’ll bring you to a different room and lie on top of you like a weighted blanket to help you relax. A nap wouldn’t hurt…

If you’re embarrassed about being scared, he’ll reassure you himself and then direct you to Beel. Beel is the best one to help you with that.

10/10

[tidaltow]

Demigod 101 was basically, “If someone looks suspicious, they are.” Demigod 102 quickly followed that up with, “If they are suspicious, then 99% chance they probably want to kill you.” And, look, it wasn’t like Percy really had time to be giving this dude a onceover while he was busy with the formidable foe that was his shoelaces, so, yes, it took him until now to really notice something off about him. 

Most normal folks didn’t have red eyes, right? (“Normal” was a loose term in Manhattan, of course, but Percy had been exposed to the two different flavors of weird making up the two sides of his life long enough to know which one he was dealing with . . . most of the time.)

Since this guy went out of his way to check on him, continued to hover over him with the concern of a mother who had just watched her toddler fall down a flight of stairs, and had a whacky pair of eyes, Percy was assuming now what flavor this happened to be. Maybe a bit too late, like a fire alarm blaring after the entire building was already up in flames, but he took it in stride.

I thought you were about to die or something.

“Not currently,” he said as he got to his feet, brushing dirt off his pants. “But there’s still the rest of the day, so.” A shrug lifted his shoulders. “We’ve got time . . . to kill.” Percy tried to resist that last part. He failed. With a light sigh, he faced the stranger as directly as his next question. “So, like . . . did someone send you or are you just here for a little fun yourself?”

@tidaltow | cont. (w/Blaise)

Blaise was walking behind Percy, carrying two reusable bags; one filled with a few groceries Siobhan had asked for him to pick up, and the other was filled with a few flowers. Awkwardly, he carried the flower bag -- he thought Siobhan only wanted one, but no, she asked for ten. Why couldn't she get these herself? Blaise had difficulty on finding these flowers -- not a single florist in this city had them. The only place he managed to find them was at a park; he had to sneakily cut them off the bushes without being caught.

The brunette looked bored, eager to get home -- oh, shit, that guy just fell. Any other person would have just kept on walking, but Blaise was not an asshole. "H-Hey!" He called out, jogging over to him, red eyes scanned him over, generally looked concern. "You, uh, okay?" He would asked, immediately taking notice that his shoelaces were untied. Those bloody things; Blaise removed to wear anything that had shoelaces -- they're the devil's work.

"You sure you're alright, mate? I thought...you -- like, were about to die or something..." Blaise mumbled, his eyes shifted back between Percy's shoes and Percy, frowning.

[darlingdaisyfarm]

would nerdy shy! ford ever use toys on himself? what if we accidentally caught him using our toys on himself? If it so calls you to do so, please enlighten us with your knowledge 💕

okay okay YES. tbh i assume it’s college!ford so im gonna go with that in my head while writing this. im sorry if that’s not what you intended aaaa but it’s just such a good era for him.. like he’s so smart and nerdy and shy and still so inexperienced and also like, secretly freaky as hell, he just doesn’t know how to act on it yet unless the circumstances force him to (or tempt him to) and he’s too much of a polite little mess to seek out those circumstances himself, unless he’s pushed

nsfw

you share a dorm with him, roommates. and it’s kind of weird at first, because he’s so painfully respectful. a yes, of course, ill turn around while you change type of guy. a walks around shirtless but then apologizes for it kind of guy. and you honestly don’t even realize what kind of effect you have on him at first because Ford is good at hiding it. he’s so used to repressing everything, holding it all back, especially when it’s sexual and especially if it’s about someone he respects (which, in this case, is you, his gorgeous, intimidating, so effortlessly sensual roommate who doesn’t even realize you’re killing him)

one night, you’re feeling yourself, it was just one of those nights where you needed it. you probably assumed he was asleep, because he snores. (like a dork. he snores and drools and talks in his sleep sometimes.) and you just. you just fucked yourself stupid last night. while he was in the next bed, snoring like a moron, totally unaware, as you thought. you got off so hard you passed the hell out after. and in the morning you were running around half-dressed, muttering about being late to class and barely even noticed him watching you stumble out with your hair all messy and your legs still trembling, unaware that your vibrator is still laying there, under the blanket.

and Ford poor, poor Ford, who definitely wasn’t asleep last night. who heard everything. who laid there, stiff and sweating and trembling under his own blanket. who didn’t dare touch himself last night out of fear he’d give himself away.

he stares way too long. stands there awkwardly in the doorway shifting from foot to foot. oh dear god! you used it last night, he remembers. and you were having the best orgasm of your life four feet away.

i think, yeah he touches it first just with two fingers. and his hand shakes when he picks it up. like okay wait. it buzzes. it vibrates. holy shit. and this was inside you? this was yours? this was how you made yourself cum? were you ... maybe thinking about him while using it? were you biting your lip to stay quiet while he slept ? and the longer Ford holds it, the more it just snaps in his head and he has to sit on your bed and unbutton his pants. because. yeah. he’s hard. he’s really really hard and he’s too far gone to stop now.

i think he tries to be quiet, tries to jerk off slow, tries not to make any mess or noise because it’s your toy and he still respects you (of course he does!!) but he’s also so so weak. especially when he presses it against himself. just over his boxers to see what it feels like. and his hips jerk as he gasps, definitely not expecting it to be that intense.

and so, he probably bites his sweater to stay quiet but starts getting sloppy, right? hips rocking up, eyes squeezed shut, tongue peeking out between his teeth. he’d use it on himself while laying in your bed. so ashamed, flushed and breathless, his cock leaking just from sliding it along himself. and later, he places it on his nipples or smth. it’s clumsy and he’s awkward and fumbling and whining into your pillow like a goddamn virgin, because he is, and it’s so embarrassing and so hot for him. it turns him on more the more pathetic it feels.

and yeah. he totally jerks off while imagining you walking in on him like this. wants you to catch him, wants to see the look on your face when you realize he stole your toy. Ford swears he doesn’t want to be humiliated but also... he kinda does. he wants you to call him a perv or laugh or tell him to get on his knees. it’s a mess in his brain and he’s so stupidly turned on by the wrongness of it. he wants you to tease him for being this desperate, for being such a needy stupid mess. wants to see you shocked and horrified or worse, interested. wants to be punished, humiliated, used. wants to hand you the toy back and admit he couldn’t help it. he even whispers little fantasies to himself while jerking off, like “please please come back early. please see me. please catch me like this”

he wouldn’t ever admit it out loud unless you confronted him. and even then it’d take three breakdowns and a full body blush. i think he has a whole mental vault of dirty thoughts about you and your vibrator after that. dreams. fantasies. moments when he can’t focus in class because he remembers how it tasted / smelled / how heavy it was in his hand, how he imagined your thighs twitching from it.

after, he'd be sitting there still panting, holding your toy, and so so ashamed but also. glowing and trembling. all from something so dumb and small. but you’re you and he’s been half in love with you since the second week of freshman year.

TONE DEAF :: Rosita and Norman <3

The first in a [hopefully] series of redesign + headcanon posts where I give you my take on a character for my AU

I'm grouping the two together because a] a lot of fluff headcanons I have, they share [because they're literally husband and wife]. And b] if I made an individual post for every single character, I... would go insane. So yeah. A bunch of characters are gonna get clumped together.

[FULL MASTERPOST HERE [yet to be made <3]]

HEADCANONS // BACKSTORY ⬇️

Me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic [also autistic]

Both of them are the same age, mid to late thirties.

In terms of general intelligence: Rosita has gifted IQ, while Norman is at genius level.

I know. I know Norman seems kinda dim in the movies. But guys [LMAO]. "I know it looks like there's nothing happening behind those eyes, but...... he can make entire computers!"

He's so smart yet so stupid. He's that kind of character. Like he can do all of this super impressive shit, and is super talented and can do math like BOOM done, but he's also kinda a "deer-in-the-headlights" when it comes to life [I LOVE HIM 👹]

Both of them worked hard and have their college degrees almost completely paid off at this point because of the scholarships they earned.

Rosita has a degree in engineering, Norman's a computer scientist.

They're both in STEM, it's just that Rosita likes to handle more of the mechanical aspects of things while Norman's better with the technical stuff, which I think is cute af.

Yin and Yang <3

This dynamic is just how they are too. How they act. Like for example, Rosita can be very to-the-point-

She's very much a problem solver and will get right to it once she understands what she's doing. Like yeah, she often takes a very methodical approach to it [see the scene where she's got all the papers laid out to try and learn to dance- very new territory for her], but once she learns, she gos all in. And EATS.

Norman's gotta have a plan before doing anything, meanwhile. He has a morning routine that can't be interrupted or else his whole day and mood will be thrown off. He reads through a recipe twice before even starting. That kind of stuff.

He's a lot more hesitant to even try.

A lot of people find Norman boring. But Rosita is enraptured by every word he says, she LOVES his long spiels about hyper-specific [and often mundane] things.

AAAA--

Norman is also a closeted DORK. He ran a tabletop games club in highschool with a couple other of his geeky ass friends [he's still into D&D to this day and has introduced Rosita to the game too]

[she's fun to play with, but super competitive. This goes for ANY game, actually, not just D&D. She'll kinda accidentally turn everything into a "contest" due to her inability to not do her very best] [it's mostly inspirational, not annoying, if that makes sense?]

I also wanna say Norman was in a weird amount of drama that he didn't want to be in at this time. Like all of his friends had falling-outs, and he was just always caught in the middle of it.

He's afraid of confrontation [UNLESS IT'S FOR HIS WIFE] [HE STANDS UP FOR HER RAHHHH] [this is gonna happen when I get to rewriting Sing 2, he's NOT just gonna take Crystal calling his WIFE "mommy pig"]

They're sooo "excuse me, he asked for no pickles"

Norman and Rosita technically met in high school, in Junior year when Norman first moved to Calatonia.

WHICH, he and his family did this because this was a point in time where laws having to do with the rights of animals were VERY flimsy, and Calatonia was one of the first and only safe places at the time-- for Pigs especially, actually.

The 3 Little Pigs is deadass CANON TO SING. So Pigs were/are actually a marginalized species in this universe.

[[during the warring period that I have yet to really talk about, they were often victims of the anarchy and poaching, so stigmas and insults around them still exist to this day]]

[[[[see Jimmy Crystal]]]]

So anyway, they "met" in high school- Norman totally crushed on Rosita from afar whenever he'd catch her in volleyball matches-

Rosita had a major tomboy phase throughout high school, slowly falling out of it during college [still only saves dresses and skirts for special occasions really]

[[Fun fact, Rosita is also sapiosexual [attracted to intelligence] [Roxanne Ritchi ahh] ]]

[[Norman is bi]]

They actually got introduced to eachother and had a proper arc when they went to the same college [which might've been a college in Redshore actually? But I'm not 100% sure on that headcanon. It would line up since Rosita's "wanted to perform in Redshore since she was a little kid" and Redshore is obviously a massive city with a lot of notoriety. Idk though- and it's not really that important to the story anyways]

Norman and Rosita had plans together- they were gonna make it big and live freely. Things were looking up with the lawmakers, who were finally repealing a bunch of nasty stuff that was put in place during the war times. And the two had hope that their dreams could actually be accomplished.

Rosita, who was originally gonna play it safe and become an engineer, was now thinking about attempting to become a performer [which Norman has supported since the beginning, he LOVES her singing, and often tells her that she's "better than some of the people I've heard on TV!"]

But. Life got in the way...

Present day, Norman works in Redshore at Crystal Enterprises. He's the head of some sort of organizational team- not really working on what he loves at this point.

And this is because of their children, who were a very sudden appearance in their lives [which is why we see so much struggle in the chaos at the beginning of the movie in this AU]

Rosita stopped everything, and Norman grabbed the first high-ish paying job he could, spending all his spare time on clocking in overtime hours.

The kids are all adopted, and there's only 6 now: Oldest Caspar [13], twin boys Mickey and Moe [11], middle child Kelly [9], little bro Freddy[8], and Zoey the sweet baby sister [6].

They became foster parents after the death of Rosita's sister [this hc is kinda subject to change, but this is the story rn. I'll specify on this later ☝️]

So Rosita's kinda put her life on hold for these babies. She's such a great mom to them, and they love her and Norman so much

But some of the older kids [Caspar specifically] are kinda in a rough phase since they feel like she resents them [which she doesn't], or that she isn't their "real mom" [which she IS]

This is like an E plot in the story, but definitely's gonna get at least a little bit of focus.

Rosita and Norman's marriage is falling apart just a little bit due to burnout, but it'll get better <3 [I can't do anything tragic to these two they're too sweet]

Norman snuggles up to Rosita in his sleep. Rosita starfishes LMAO

They wake up entangled. This is normal.

"Pig piles" are also a thing- there have been several nights where all six children "had nightmares" and so the family of 8 all slept in the same bed.

Norman has the best bond with the two girls out of all the children. They immediately latched onto him to be their level-headed dad.

Rosita can carry two kids at once easily, and often "relocates" them like this :>

She's probably the strongest out of everyone in the troupe if you don't count the potential Meena has. She solos.

She's constantly taking notes on everyone and everything around her. At the theater, you'll catch her tidying stuff up she spots out of the corner of her vision while you're having a conversation with her [she's still listening]. She knows everyones favorite foods, and allergies, and their preferences in things, etc. She's the most attentive and considerate out of all of them [the mom]

She may have a touch of OCD.

She gives the best hugs.

Rosita is also a FANTASTIC cook [not even a headcanon, I'm pretty sure the entire fandom agrees on this one] and often bakes stuff for her sweet-toothed children [and husband]

This is actually how she initially connected with Caspar, who refused to eat or speak at first when they were all placed with Rosita.

Cinnamon rolls.

Kelly will only eat the frosting off the top, and has ruined an entire pan before by doing this.

Rosita actually isn't the biggest fan of chocolate, small detail.

Idk why she just strikes me as not being an enjoyer.

Loves vanilla though. People are furious when she answers "vanilla" with zero hesitation to the chocolate vs vanilla question.

Norman is kinda a hopeless romantic, or at least really enjoys the aesthetic of it [in a sweet and not shallow way ofc], and goes all out every Valentine's Day: balloons, flowers, the works. He's learned that Rosita prefers strawberries over a box of chocolates, however. Has a tradition of getting a fruit basket for her <3

They also have a tradition from all the way back in college, where they go out to eat at specifically the in-universe equivalent of Olive Garden [which was the fanciest thing they could afford at the time] and eat a shared giant plate of spaghetti.

Norman loves coffee. Insists he likes it black but actually prefers a good 50:50 ratio of creamer and coffee.

Norman is also ☝️ lactose intolerant LMAO

[[or would be, if traditional milk was widely accessible/a thing. I say "lactose intolerant" but what I really mean is he's allergic to most milk substitutes- like nuts and soy [gives him tummy ache, not anaphylaxis] ]]

God, parenthesis are carrying me so hard rn.

Stopping here because I'm tired, but I could go ON about these two omg-

Normita forever rahhhh <3

[bad-and-drawn-that-way]

Let me just say, I absolutely adore your writing so much!! Your More Than Anything series with Vox is honestly one of, if not my favorite Vox series!!!❤💙 I was wondering if you could do a kind of silly, fluffy imagine with Vox where they're in their early stages of flirting/crushing and the reader avoids the topic of kissing... because they think Vox isn't able to kiss with his screen? Literally before episode 8, the question in my mind was "Can the dorky TV man kiss?" And then we got confirmation he most DEFINITELY could 🤣 I just think it'd be so cute and funny for that to be something the reader was wondering as well but wasn't sure how to ask him about it without being weird lol

Oh my goodness, such high praise aaaa! I actually have a scene in my Ao3 fic based on the same concept! I'd be happy to write some awkward smoochums! This guy is such a fucking dork and I love him.

Assumptions [Vox x Reader Fluff]

You and Vox had been dating for a month and the overlord was on the verge of insanity. He knew that Valentino had much more intense needs when it came to physical affection than most, but he wasn't expecting such a drastic shift in needs when it came to you.

He knew that being in a real relationship was very different from what he'd experienced before with his fellow overlord. But he thought the two of you would have done something by now. Not even necessarily sex. (Although he'd definitely been fantasizing about that more than he cared to admit.)

The two of you had cuddled, slept in the same bed, and even h*ld h*nds, but you hadn't kissed yet and it wasn't for his lack of trying. He'd invited you on romantic dates and set up several perfect opportunities. But whenever he'd try to go for it, you'd always pull away before he had the chance.

He didn't understand. The two of you had been doing so well. You always seemed to be swept up in the little heated moments just as much as he was, so why?!

Vox had been completely distracted during his entire news segment and groaned as slipped into his secluded dressing room. If it wasn't for the fact that he caught sight of you in his mirror, he probably would have flipped out when he felt your arms slip around him from behind.

"What are you doing here?" he chuckled as he lifted a hand to rest on one of your arms.

"I missed you," you smile, squeezing him gently before letting go. "And I saw that..." you cringe. "Performance. You seemed off. Is something on your mind?"

Vox's eyes widened and he cursed himself mentally for putting on a subpar show in front of the camera. If you noticed, then the audience probably did as well. No one really gave half a fuck about the news, but ratings were ratings.

"It's nothing," Vox muttered. "It's just..."

He looks up at you with an unreadable expression and you gasp as he reaches up and gently takes hold of your chin. His brow furrows as he tucks your hair behind your ear and your heart races a million miles per second as he searches your blushing face for something. His eyes flick down to your lips and he slowly starts to lean, only for you to suddenly push him away.

"A-Anyways I just wanted to check in on you and see if we were still on for a movie tonight," you stammered.

Vox froze, not listening to your ramblings as he processed your deflection. He felt a sharp, cold sting of rejection in his chest and wondered if maybe you weren't as interested in the relationship as he hoped. His heart started to break, but then he noticed the way you were blushing.

"Why?" He asked quietly.

"Well, I just thought maybe you wanted to-"

"No," Vox grit his teeth as he grabbed you by the shoulders. "Why the fuck won't you kiss me? Every time I try, you pull away. We're dating, so why?"

You blinked up at him owlishly, your jaw hanging open before you grabbed his arms and breathed, "You can kiss?!"

Vox's brow furrowed as he looked you over, "Wh- The fuck are you on about? Yes, I can fucking kiss! I've been trying to kiss you for the past three goddamn weeks!"

You gasped before burying your face in your hands and groaning. "Oh my god, I thought... There were a couple times that I wondered, but this whole time I didn't think you could and I didn't want to be weird and..."

Vox stood taller as he processed your words. You didn't hate him. You weren't repulsed by him. You were just...

He burst out laughing, clutching his stomach as he absolutely lost it. "O-Oh my god! You're such a fucking idiot!"

Your face was burning with embarrassment. You knew he wasn't being malicious, but you were still mortified at the misunderstanding. "Oh shut up! It's not my fault you're a flat-faced fucker!"

You were about to go bury your shame into the couch, fully expecting him to hold this against you for the rest of the day, but you were barely able to take two steps before Vox intervened.

You let out a startled yelp as you felt his claws wrap around your arm and yank you back. In the split second it took you to blink, he'd trapped you against a wall. You flinched as his hands slammed against either side of your head, trapping you as he grinned down at you.

"You are so fucking stupid," he snickered.

Your face only grew warmer as your heart pounded with mixed anger, embarrassment, and something else entirely due to the position he had you in. His hand traces lightly over your cheek before cupping the side of your face as he looks at you with the softest expression you'd ever seen from him.

You gasp as he leans down and presses his lips against yours. Your entire body feels like tiny fireworks are dancing lightly over your skin. You shiver as your hands instinctively reach up to grasp at his vest when he pulls you close.

You're both breathing much harder than is necessary when he pulls away. For a moment you just look at each other with half-lidded gazes as you process the sparks that just metaphorically and literally flew. You were pretty sure a bulb went out due to the little bits of blue energy that sparked off of your boyfriend during the kiss.

Speaking of your dork, Vox breathlessly grinned as he squeezed your arms. He let out a small laugh before stepping away from you and turning as more little sparks flew.

"Fucking finallyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" Vox yelled as he pumped his arms in the air and kicked his legs like a giddy child.
