[bubbles-for-all-of-us]

BUBBLES!!!!! Hello my sweet little friend <3 I'm back with a nice little headcanon but before, I just wanted to say that it makes me very very happy you enjoy receiving these headcanons because it's an absolute pleasure to send them also you're really really cool and you're a killer writer so it's really an honor

anywayyyys today we're gonna talk hair because I mentioned it once but I have a weird thing with hair (and by weird thing I mean I'm obsessed with people touching my hair/touching other people's hair)

Ellie

There is something so inherently loving and nurturing whenever Ellie lets you do her hair. It's not anything fancy, just a simple braid or whenever she wants to cut it and you brush it for her. You take the time to brush her hair, gently, never hurting her in any way. It's often a peaceful moment where she tells you about her day or simply enjoys your presence. It might not be a universal thing, maybe it was just me but some of the things I miss the most from when I was a child were the mornings my mom or my grandma would do my hair. And I feel like Ellie, growing up alone and all that, would discover those small, simple moments and cherish them because yes, to any other kids it's normal but to her, all kinds of affectionate gestures are very new, she's really discovering what it means to be loved by someone else so...genuinely. She also loves the feeling of your fingers brushing through her hair, whether it's in the morning when you wake her up or at night when you're all cuddling on the couch. She always ends up with her head on your lap or against your shoulder and your hand naturally finds its way to her soft locks. Most of the time, it's enough to put her to sleep which makes you chuckles.

Joel

He's very similar in that aspect. Joel absolutely loves whenever you play with his hair. It started randomly, one night you're on the couch and for some reason Joel lets his head rest on your lap. He's had a long day, he's tired and about to fall asleep when you just start playing with his hair. There's no reason for you to do that, he's just lying so close to you and the salt and pepper curls look so silky you can't help yourself. The feeling of your fingers threading through his hair is quite indescribable, it's just nice and it makes the deep frown on his forehead ease. He almost can't believe he lived so long without knowing that gentle tingle of your nails scratching his scalp. It's such a nice feeling he probably hums in contentment (which, by the way, kind of sounds like a cat purring) and you discover how much your man enjoys you playing with his hair. After a while, he ends up falling asleep and you stop your movements just for him to groan and put your hand back where it was. Since that night, Joel always joins Ellie and you on the couch. You sit in the middle and they fight for who gets to cuddle with you...But of course, there is enough space for both of them so you shush them and they both get their beloved head scratches.

Now, as much as he loves it when you play with his hair, he doesn't hesitate to return the favor and you quickly discover that Joel has some skills. It all began one fateful winter. You went ice-skating and of course, you fell and injured yourself. It's nothing dramatic but you will have to wear a cast for the next few weeks. Obviously, Joel is insanely worried and you're forbidden from doing any kind of effort including basic stuff like getting dressed...or styling your hair. You really want to, you start getting ready for bed at night but Joel arrives in the room and he's outraged. How dare you move the slightest muscle when you should be resting ?!!??!!? You try to explain to him that you have to get ready for bed, etc...but he's having none of it. Instead he drops whatever he was doing at the moment and helps you take off your clothes, shower and put on a warm pair of pyjamas (your favorite shirt of his <3). But there is one part of your night routine that he seems to have forgotten. You always brush your hair before bed and then put it in a braid so it doesn't get knots in the morning. You insist on not missing that because yeah, your hair will be in an awful state if you don't brush it. So Joel sits you down on the bed, grabs your brush and gently starts untangling your hair. He's so gentle you can't believe some people are actually scared of him. But it's not over. No. He gives you back the brush and quietly, separates your hair in three parts and starts braiding it. You didn't even ask, you didn't have to show him or explain. He did it so naturally and that's when it hit you: it was probably not the first time he had to do that. Because Joel had a little girl once whose hair needed to be braided or styled in some way and being a single dad, all he could do was learn. It was a nighttime ritual with his Sarah: she'd brush her teeth, put on a pair of pajamas and her dad would braid her hair then read her a story. When she was old enough, she'd practice her reading with him and read to him while he was busy with her hair. And even as a teenager, sometimes after a particularly rough day, she'd ask Joel if he could brush her hair before bed. It then becomes a thing while you have your cast. It always ends the same way: he kisses your shoulder when he's done and you thank him before heading to bed. But even after you can use both your hands, he still does it for you. Some nights after coming home from the pub and you're too tired, when you're just lazy or just because he enjoys that quiet moment.

He does it with Ellie, as well. You're away on patrol one morning and Ellie's getting ready for school but her hair is a mess. She wouldn't mind usually but she thought you'd be here to fix it, instead, there's only Joel. So he does it for her. She's impressed—so impressed she almost doesn't mess with him— and she goes to school with a big smile on her face and a strange feeling in her chest. That same warmth she feels when she's half asleep and Joel still goes to her and kisses her forehead because he didn't see her that night or when she comes home from school with a good grade and he tells her he's proud of her. And Joel always holds these little moments close to his chest. He had that once and no matter how much he cherished it, he lost it so he tries to cherish it even more now. Revel in every single instant. Because he is loved and has a chance to love again, he won't lose it this time <3

Okayyyyyyy kinda long (but you're used to it) and kinda went off the rails (but you're used to that too lol) BUT I hope you enjoyed, I hope I could brighten your day a little and maybe make you smile. And btw how was your day? Are you still feeling sick?

I love you very very much little bubble <3

-🪷

Okay okay okay... I've written this hair concept for him as well but this.

Playing on the whole Joel braiding hair thing. I do agree that he had taken it upon himself to learn how to braid and tend to the hair when Sarah was born. Even before his wife left him. Jole was set on learning how to braid. He knew that some might view this as unmanly but he needed to find that extra bonding aspect with his baby girl. If all they would have would be early mornings when he would be getting her ready for kindergarten or school.

And when he's left there all by himself it becomes one of his favorite things. I feel like after a long day he would be hoping that Sarah wouldn't have gone through her whole bedtime routine. Because he finds it so therapeutic. After all the busy chaos of the day, it's just him and his girl by the little vanity. A light conversation flowing. Or maybe a complete silence.

So I feel like after Sarah's death it would be hard for Joel to tend to someone's hair. I just think it would bring back so many memories. Them listening to music together, Sarah laughing at Joel while he stood there with a bow between his teeth. It would be so precious and so painful. So for a while, he would not get close to anyone's hair.

Then you would come around and then slowly Joel would get used to you touching his hair. Then slowly he would find himself reaching for your hair. Running his fingers through it. Trying to separate his past from the present.

But I think the most important interaction would be with Ellie. She is not as girly as Sarah. Most days she doesn't care how she looks. Never does she ask for any of you to do her hair. She's not used to it. It never seems necessary for her. But then one day she is supposed to go out with Dina. And she's rushing around her room and Joel hears her mumbling to herself in frustration.

So he knocks gently waiting for Ellie to give him a green light to walk in. And when he does the room is a mess. Clothes and things everywhere. Ellie is standing before the mirror. Brush stuck in her hair. Eyes glossy. Joel gives her a sympathetic look. "It's code red you need to get Y/N", she mutters pulling at the brush. Joel carefully nudges Ellie's hand away, moving to detangle her hair.

"You know I used to do Sarah's hair", he admits after he's almost done brushing out the knots. "What were you trying to do?", Joel places his hands on Ellie's shoulders, meeting her gaze in the mirror. Ellie just look at him for a moment, before moving to reach for a magazine, pointing to a hairstyle she was trying to recreate. Joel only hums in response. Quickly reaching for the brush and an elastic.

It only takes him a couple of minutes to put Ellie's hair in half up half down look. "We're not doing bows are we?", he asks glancing at one of the blue bows but Ellie only shakes her head. She looks at herself for some time before turning to Joel and just wrapping her arms around his torso. Joel smiles down at her, placing a loving kiss on her head, "See, the old man can still be useful".

OSRR: 3322

i managed to avoid an anxiety attack today by being sassy. our supervisor sent a teams message to the three of us on shift saying that the link he was sending us was a new requirement but that if anyone scored higher than he did they'd be fired.

it was an IQ test.

editing to add that this was all in jest; our supervisor is a funny guy and i'm confident he was laughing as he sent it. there was no real requirement, he's just silly.

i was like "can i not" and "nah" and when asked why instead of saying "it's a major trigger so please don't push about it" i said "then i'd get fired" without even knowing the score he got lmao

"damn here i was thinking you'd be embarrassed for scoring low but you were just trash talking"

"me score low on an IQ test? never"

and then i hit em with:

"we're gonna ignore that i have a score from an actual doctor which i'm decidedly not going to share BUT i just wanted to let you know i'm like this intentionally"

badda bing, badda boom

and just like that, the conversation was over.

i succeeded. but it put me on edge all day. tons of anxious energy kept me making noises and moving all day and it was so annoying. this is why we don't do this, buddy. no.

anyway, today was pretty quiet.

i ended up not having a real lunch for some reason but i DID end up texting both lisa and joel if they were going to be home tonight, and the answer for both of them was no.

so instead of planning for dinner with them, i asked john when i got back if he had eaten dinner. he hadn't, but he was planning on eating a pizza that had been in the oven for a long time, so he went to check on it. and.

it's black. charred. i couldn't recognize the toppings on it.

i said "well it's good i was planning on ordering indian food," so that's what we did.

i watched some episodes of my hero academia while i was waiting and then when i was eating. usually when i go to this place they don't add enough spice because they figure since i'm white i can't handle spicy. but this time they just made it to order and it was PERFECT. it was ACTUAL spice in it and i was so happy to get the flavor and the heat, instead of just the flavor. i'll have to order indian food over doordash more often, even though it's full price. at least the spice level is right.

anyway, it's bedtime and i'm ready to sleep forever. my phone told me to go back to bed today. i use an app called autosleep and it tracks data from my watch to track my sleeping habits, including preparedness for the day, and today's was just "rest." literally just "go back to bed, you're not ready for this." which is so funny to me. but i'm finally going to bed. i wish i had cuddles but i'll see him tomorrow. or sunday. not sure. it's okay. i have the bed to myself.

survey #115

(taken february 17th; uploading surveys taken while gone)

Do you think you have an addictive personality? I'm very well aware that I do, just like my dad, and it's why I stay away from a lot of things known to trigger addiction.

Honestly, do you enjoy arguing? No, it sends my anxiety through the fucking stratosphere immediately.

Is there anyone that you truly could not live without? I refuse to ever even consider this idea EVER again.

When was the last time someone saw you naked? Totally naked, idk. I try very hard to avoid anyone seeing me like that, but I'm pretty positive it would be my mom coming into her room after I've gotten out of the shower or something.

What is the greatest loss you’ve endured? My first real boyfriend, the person I basically entirely lost my self-autonomy to. Not by his will, in his defense.

What song (or a few songs, whatever) means a lot to you and why? I absolutely cannot listen to "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin because of a basically movie scene-worthy prom memory with Jason. I haven't heard it in years and don't plan on ever listening to it again, I just can't. It breaks me. "The Mortician's Daughter" by Black Veil Brides is also a song I generally avoid because of another memory with Jason, but I can *sometimes* listen to it. "The Ghost of You" by My Chemical Romance is yet another I'm very sensitive to because I binged the fuck outta it and cried my eyes out repeatedly to it after I learned about Jason's mom dying. That was the most painful death I have ever dealt with so far in life, and it fucking haunts me that the last thing she ever heard from me was begging to talk to her son as she talked to me well over an hour in the absolute middle of the night encouraging me to not kill myself. Then I ODed two days later. Uhhhh there's a lot of other songs but I really shouldn't have explained this one so deeply because I'm crying so we're just gonna move on.

What was the reason behind your last visit to the hospital? I was suicidal again and knew I needed to be in an environment where I couldn't be a risk to myself.

What is something you’ve done that you truly regret? Mostly things I've said. And the Joel situation when I was 12.

Do you view animals as being just as important as people? Why or why not? I sure do. I don't believe there's anything truly special or divine about humans; we're just the most advanced animals, but that doesn't make us even REMOTELY "better" than them.

What is the worst thing you’ve done to yourself? What is the worst thing someone else has done to you? Tried to kill myself. Entirely gave up on, turned on, and grew to hate myself. As for the worst thing someone else has done to me, probably how Jason left our relationship. It was SUCH a jump ship type of reaction, like he wanted to be on the other side of the world from me basically immediately, leaving me so confused and lost and hurt and just wanting to die. It's interesting to note that I didn't start healing until he actually agreed to meet with and talk to me about all this more than a year later, although I guess me also starting a strong mood stabilizer that I absolutely responded well to at the same time probably played a part, too.

What is the most personal thing you’re willing to reveal? On here, probably that I literally had surgery on my ass lmfao a pilonidal cyst is a cyst in your asscheek :^)

What made you stop talking to the last person you cut out of your life? She was/is (I 220% do not even remotely believe her claim that she's not anymore for MANY reasons) a Nazi and was also a fucking terrible "friend" to me, when it REALLY boiled down to it. She was capable of being good sometimes, yes, but our "friendship" had very serious problems in its base structure, and I was not taking her making me feel like a shitty, burdensome, annoying, and weak person anymore.

What are some kinks or turn-ons you have, if any? Sharing that kinda stuff is crossing a personal boundary for me, so skipping.

Are you one of those people that LOVE to hug others? YES. If you don't like hugs, you have to be upfront with me about that because at some point I WILL try to hug you otherwise.

Which person would you choose to travel the world with? Girt.

What is a book you can recommend to others? I will recommend Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo to literally everybody. It's an anti-war novel that leaves you feeling just plain fucking haunted and appalled by human nature.

Do you have (a) stuffed animal(s) sitting in your room? Which one(s)? I have a bunch of meerkat plushies on one shelf, as well as my favorite plush from childhood (a moose named Brownie), a fennec fox as a zoo souvenir, a Cheshire cat... maybe one or two others, idr. I now also have a giant stuffed bear sitting on a chair in this spare room because Girt got me it for Valentine's Day, haha. :') I can always see it from where I'm sitting, and I want this room to be full of stuff that motivates and makes me happy.

What do you order on a pizza? Most often I just get pepperoni, but I will also sometimes get a meat lovers-esque kind, and rarely I'll still want a jalapeno pizza.

How old was the first person you kissed? He was 18 at that time.

Last dream you had: It actually REALLY messed with me when I woke up; I remember I'd just found out I was pregnant and we were actually keeping the baby and Girt was super excited and yeah it FUCKED with me

what is the first letter of the last name of the last person you kissed? M.

Why aren’t you texting the last person you kissed? We like, never text. We almost always use Discord instead.

Have you been to a baby shower? Yeah, my sister's, and my ex's brother's wife's. Maybe one other person?

Something good going to happen tomorrow? Yeah, it's my youngest niece's birthday party and I'm really happy Girt is able to come with us. I'll get to see my dad, too.

Do you believe exes can be friends? In some cases, sure. But not always. I would probably even say not in *most* cases, but I don't know that with certainty.

Who were you with the last time you went to the movie theater? Girt.

Has anyone ever sung to you? Girt has, and I guess kinda-sorta-but-not-exactly Jason.

Do you plan on moving out within the next year? It'd... be nice, especially if I fucking finally DO find a job at some goddamn point. I'm job-hunting online literally every day. It would be nice to get a place with Girt.

List the initials of every person you have kissed, from oldest to most recent kiss. (Put “?”s in the place of initials you don’t know.) JAR, T? (more accurately, I don't remember his last name), SJM, DM.

Honestly, have you ever eaten raw cookie dough? Haha of course.

Would you stay with your bf/gf if they did drugs? I wouldn't go *into* a relationship with someone doing drugs, but if by some incredibly low, insane chance Girt started drugs for whatever reason, I'd try to stay with him as long as I could and try very hard to convince him to stop.

Where was your mom born? Somewhere I won't disclose in New York.

What about your dad? Uh, I want to say Ohio, but it's possible it's actually Michigan.

Is your tongue pierced? It used to be; I had snake eyes, and it was probably my favorite piercing, maybe tied with my lip ring. I only took it out because it was damaging my teeth.

What did you last do in your bed? I took a nap today. I've been sleeping a lot and super heavily lately...

Have you ever named any of your pets after a cartoon character? Yeah, I remember we had a black cat growing up named Taz. Odds are pretty high we probably had another pet (probably another cat) with a cartoon name, too. OH! Already thought of one lol, we also had a BEAUTIFUL Maine coon-esque boy named Eeyore. He got hit by a car and it devastated me.

What was the last thing that someone else recommended, or suggested you try? Hmmmm... can't say I remember.

What was the last podcast you listened to? Do you listen to it regularly? I don't think I've listened to a podcast since I last listened to Rhett & Link's MANY years ago.

Have you ever held a gun? Did you fire it? I did unwillingly, but I sure as hell didn't fire it. Colleen's husband needed someone to hold it while he was doing something and I was the only one there.

What did you last take painkillers for? A fucking toothache. I'm starting to get them in a specific spot again, once more where I DIDN'T get dental work done...

What did you have for lunch today and who made it? I didn't eat lunch.

What was the last candy you ate? It was a LifeSaver. I keep them on hand because of my clinically dry mouth (I'm told to keep little candies or something like that in my purse to force salivation when I'm really suffering), but I just felt like having one.

Have you ever been hit in the face? What’s the story? Maybe accidentally, but not that I remember.

Do you know anyone who is deaf? I don't believe so.

If you wear makeup, what colors do you usually wear? IF I wear makeup, it's black.

If you have more than one pet, do they ever get jealous of each other? Roman, not so much, but Cookie definitely can get jealous.

Is there a room in your house that you don’t like going in? No.

Have you ever trespassed? I think I have. I don't think I really knew we were trespassing, though.

Are you afraid of heights? Yes.

Do you walk around barefoot when you’re at home? Or do you wear socks? I'm pretty much always barefoot unless I need slippers. I hate socks.

Would you ever be a tornado chaser? Hell. Fucking. NO. I very much hate even watching VIDEOS of small tornadoes because I get extremely, extremely anxious.

What is your favorite thing to eat with bbq sauce, if you even like that stuff? I absolutely hate bbq sauce.

Have you ever had to do a class in summer school? No.

Have you ever created a website? Multiple, but none from total scratch.

Have you ever had a dream where you killed someone? I've had absolutely countless where I've TRIED to. That's pretty much the common theme of my nightmares, and I wake myself up trying to attack someone who's in some way threatened me. I'm always stuck in this state where I'm unable to defend myself, like my body is a stone that I can't make move, until I finally do manage to lash out and wake up.

Which is worse: Sick to your stomach or sore throat? SICK TO MY STOMACH. There is NO pain that I handle worse than stomach-oriented ones, and I'm also absolutely petrified of vomiting. This is gross but I am literally the person who historically has puked multiple times not in a toilet or trash can, but on the fucking floor because I just totally, completely freeze when I feel it coming, like I don't know how to handle the sensation and I am fighting vomit coming up to the VERY last fucking second. I HONESTLY think I would rather have a sore throat for my entire life than vomit once.

Do you think your last relationship was a disaster? The one before Girt? Not a "disaster," no. Our FRIENDSHIP may have been, though.

Who do you think is the easiest to talk to? Probably Girt.

Do you have a favourite metal band or do you not like metal? Ozzy Osbourne, and Rammstein if you count them as metal. Not all their songs are, but they've definitely got some that are genuinely metal.

Thick or thin blanket? It totally depends on the time of year/temperature.

How do you mark through your word search puzzles? It depends on what writing utensil I have available to me, font size, lots.

Have you ever sewn something? No, have no idea how to. I probably should take Mom up on asking to teach me though, it might come in handy one day.

What did you eat for dinner last night? It was pasta, really good pasta.

Have you seen all of the Jaws movies? I watched just one with Tyler. Can't remember which one it was, just that it was old, and it wasn't bad.

Have you ever drunk Cherry Coke? Yeah, I like it, but not more than the OG.

Have you ever had a black eye? No.

Did you ever take a cooking class in school? No.

Have you ever been called a skank/slut because of the way you dress? Uh, not that I know of, and it's incredibly unlikely anyone ever has because I've never dressed very revealingly. There are certain types of ignorant people who could argue yes because I have large breasts and wear tank tops very regularly, but the opinions of those kinds of people don't mean shit to me, at all.

Is your ex sexually attractive to you still? I haven't seen a picture of Jason in a super long time, but probably. How I remember him, he was, but I do know he's since grown full facial hair that I've only seen one candid picture of.

Describe the most romantic moment you’ve ever had. No.

When was the last time you were scared? "Scared" isn't the right word, but I was definitely nervous earlier when the sky got pretty damn dark and it became windy. I don't like being home alone in stormy weather.

What’s your favorite song by Rihanna? I have ALWAYS adored "Disturbia."

Can you speak binary? No.

Have you ever had a pet that you disliked? To be entirely honest I absolutely hated Nicole's old dog Bentley. It was one of my biggest sighs of relief ever when we FINALLY found him a new home. Nicole didn't even live with us most of the time we had him, and he was a total pain in the ass to both Mom AND me, and also Teddy. He and Teddy fucking hated each other, and I will never forget them fighting while Cali was in heat and getting fucking blood on my wall and side of my bed.

Have you ever given a nickname to your pet(s)? Oh for sure, they pretty much all have, haha.

Do you like boys with long hair? HELL FUCKING YES

[strifesolution]

so sorry if this exists and i just cant find it, but might you have a post or something similar where you list the specific songs you associate with each of the songs in your 3rd life playlist? i am listening to it right now and quite adore analyzing it, but i am curious about a fair few of the songs and what lens you viewed them with. you listed a couple on the playlist post reblogs, but i am not sure about the others.

ayy sorry this is a late reply, i kinda forgot to get around to it :P i know i talked about them somewhere but i’ll do a quick analysis. with some lazier than others. this got long lmao.

do it all the time - idkhow

where the playlist name comes from! now we're so young / but we're probably gonna die. it’s the vibes of getting stuck in a game you don’t want to play but embracing it anyway, and the selling lies/trust fund lines tie into the scamming themes

great vacation - dirt poor robins

this song is along the lines of a telling of the rapture. i associate with the idea of the 3L cast being taken from their home servers into a new world.

the other side - the greatest showmen 

desert duo. need i elaborate 

six feet - patent pending

a very 3L/LL song. ain't nobody coming when you make the call, cause every man's gunning for the first to fall // so it's left, right, left, down, the trail of the dead, and only six feet between me and catching my breath, only six feet between me and getting some rest. basically a hardcore minecraft song.

people i don’t like - upsahl

kinda associate this one with scott or etho specifically? but it’s the idea of disliking the players around you, ‘i’m surrounded by idiots who don’t know how to survive.’

it’s tough to be a god - the road to el dorado 

early session renchanting. ‘nuf said

i can’t decide - the scissor sisters

early renchanting, again

crazy=genius - patd

desert duo

revolution - queenpb

ren song ren song ren song. start a revolution and watch your body decay from head to toe / start a revolution, and laugh as you think that you have control. the arc of the red king’s fall into blood lust.

anti-hero - sekai no owari

an etho song, imo

cops and robbers - the hooisers

blame simon, 'cause he said, you've got two lives down and one life left / blame simon, 'cause he said, you could think better with a hole in your head

wolf in sheep’s clothing - set it off

joel song!

the ballad of sara berry - 35MM

scar as sara and ren as julie, or swapped, depending on who you wanna view as the villain in the series (these two are morally gray parallels, which is the point of them swapping places depending on perspective)

brutus - the buttress

power hungry red lives.

the wolf - siames

red life vibes, specifically ren or joel for obvious reasons

misery fell - tally hall

the denial of early game, where it was supposed to be cooperative, and their was still hope they’d survive...

business man - mother mother

scar, again. he’s the most common character across POVs, what do you want from me? :P

come along - cosmo sheldrake

mysterious new world with a magical energy that comes with it of the lives system and blood lust vibes

off with his head - jack conte

ren, ofc

curtain fall - area 11

A11 PROPAGANDA!!! there are some ways to win, the primal games we’re in // cling to me and my scars that prove it all, don’t let the curtain fall

those who carried on - ghost

a 3L into LL song. the players are unique entities that will continue to be reawakened to play the game again.

i’m gonna win - rob cantor

send them off! - bastille

ren and martyn because i love crying

terrible things - april smith

about the unreliable narrator phenomenon in the series.

from the ground up - laura shigihara

if you watch the music video for this song, it’s about a couple playing in a hardcore minecraft world, living for literal centuries in it, and choosing to play again once they die. still gives me chills.

viva la vida - coldplay

solider poet king - the oh hellos

a classic. you know the deal

two birds - regina spektor

red/green duos

skulls - bastille

no children - the mountain goats

again, another one i don’t feel i need to explain.
