I miss CEO Sevika :(

What about Reader and Sevika going to...idk a dinner party/charity event with multiple companies in attendance. Sevika is one of the speakers for the night and while she's nervous, she knocks it out of the park. Meanwhile Reader is like "wow my wife is such a fucking boss and so hot for doing that on stage, I can't NOT suck her off and get fucked in a random, out of the way bathroom right afterwards."

i was thinking about this ask the entire time she was up there by vander's statue giving her speech. my sweet baby.

men and minors dni

sometimes, you forget just how important sevika's work is. most days you're stuck in your office together, making phone calls and signing documents.

but it's nights like this, when sevika's company has its annual ball, that you're hit with how much sevika does for the community.

the company built on the idea of giving low income communities low interest loans to build businesses and homes. there're several neighborhoods and families that you know personally that have had their lives transformed by sevika's work. but it's not just that.

it's parks built on the company's dime, community centers and pools and basketball courts sponsored by sevika herself. it's the team of social workers and accountants sevika's carefully hired over the years, who make sure that your clients are trained in financial literacy so they don't fall through the cracks. it's underfunded public schools-- the schools you went to as a kid-- being sent busload after busload of books and computers and supplies from your wife. it's medical bills being paid off by a mysterious, 'anonymous' source--the chickenscratch on the checks all matching your wife's.

and nights like this, with each lead team member of all the departments giving presentations of the differences they've made in the community this year, where it really hits you how incredible your wife is.

your poor wife. sevika's currently on the brink of passing out from her nerves, a glass of whiskey shakily clutched in her palms as she waits behind the stage. "baby." you coo, reaching up to cup her face.

sevika winces and pouts in your hold. "i hate public speaking." she whines. you chuckle.

"i know, love." you sigh. you'd give this speech for her if you could-- but it's kinda a requirement that the ceo speak at these big events. "it's just five minutes, talk about the good you've done this year, get some claps, get some laughs, then we can bail." you promise her.

sevika pouts even more, slouching down against you. "you remember the first time we put one of these shitshows on?" she asks.

you giggle and nod.

your second year working for sevika, a few months into dating, and the company had the first of it's now notorious annual balls. of course, back then it wasn't quite as sophisticated as today's is, but it was pretty memorable. after her speech (which she nailed, because despite how much she hates it sevika is good at talking) sevika ran off the stage, high on the applause she'd received, and practically leapt into your arms where you stood backstage. "fuck i can't believe i did that." she whispered against your scalp. "and they liked it!" she laughs.

you giggled and kissed her cheek. "course they liked it, you're very easy to like."

and then sevika said the words you'd been dying to hear her say, the words you were trying desprately to keep inside your throat until she was ready. "i couldn't've done it without you, y'know." she whispered. your smile got softer, and sevika leaned impossibly closer to you. "you kinda scare the shit outta me and... i think i'm in love with you."

you had just grinned and kissed her, mumbling a teasing "you think or you know?" against her lips.

and here you are, nearly ten years later, on the same little patch of floor backstage of your favorite venue, smiling up at your wife.

"course i remember, baby. one of the best moments in my life. right up there with meeting you 'n marrying you. think it'll be in the little montage that flashes before my eyes once i die." you say, giggling.

sevika smiles sweetly and kisses you. "yeah, me too." she whispers.

you hold her for a moment, hoping the touch will help her relax a bit, both of you swaying gently in your dark little corner as you wait for seamus to finish his speech and introduce sevika. "you're gonna do amazing, y'know. you do every year."

"ugh. i know." sevika huffs against you. you giggle.

"so then why are you so worried?" you ask. sevika shrugs against you.

"just. 's a lotta people. and i like when you baby me." she says.

you burst into laughter just as the audience on the other side of the stage bursts into applause. sevika groans, and you give her one last good squeeze and a smooch to her cheek before pushing her toward the stage. "go ahead baby. you got this." you encourage her. sevika smiles shyly at you, and you curse. "shit, sev, wait! i left a kiss mark on your cheek!" you squeak, scrambling to grab her wrist and wipe off the lipstick that must've transferred from her lips to your own, then onto her cheek.

sevika ducks out of her hold, though, her smile only growing. "good. let 'em see it." she says, winking at you before ducking under a curtain and out onto the stage.

the crowd bursts into applause at her appearance, and your heart melts as her words sink in.

she's such a fucking sap. you love her so much you think you might explode.

she nails it, because of course she does. by the time she walks back off stage, there are literally people chanting her name, like she's a rockstar or something.

you intend to tease her about it, but then you see her and her sweet shy smile, your very obvious kiss mark on her cheek, and her hands nervously clutching her note cards, and something ravenous courses through your bloodstream.

you nearly tackle her to the floor as you launch forward to kiss her. sevika gasps, and her notecards go flying as her hands reach up to hold you tight. fuck you love her. she's the most incredible woman you've ever met.

"sev." you whisper between kisses you can't stop pressing to her skin. "sevika."

"y-yeah?" she asks, her voice squeaky and excited.

"can i blow you in the bathroom, please?" you ask. "want you so fuckin' bad."

sevika shivers full bodied and lets out a shudder before she grabs your wrist and starts sprinting toward the bathroom. you cackle the entire way.

your favorite thing about this venue is that they have plenty of single stall bathrooms. you and sevika have used this feature to your convenience many times over the years.

sevika's already rock hard in her trousers by the time you lock the door and pin her to the wall. she's clawing at you, whimpering as she tries to catch your lips in a kiss. you giggle, cupping her jaw and kissing her soundly, shoving your tongue in her mouth to calm her down a bit.

sevika sighs heavily, and you pull away, gasping a breath before dropping to your knees.

"fuck. i'm not gonna last, baby, fuck." sevika whines as you paw at her pants. you giggle.

"you better. want you to cum inside my cunt, love." you say.

sevika makes a pained noise, and her dick jumps in her boxers. you laugh. "you better touch yourself while you're suckin' me then." she says. "want you to cum with me."

it's your turn to shiver. you claw at her boxers, a little growl escaping you when her cock's finally revealed to you. "fuck." you grunt, before leaning forward and just pressing your face against her cock.

sevika sighs dreamily, reaching down to cup your face as you nuzzle her dick. "so pretty on your knees." she whispers. you smile up at her. "lemme see you touch yourself." sevika requests. you shove a hand down your waistband, rubbing your wet clit with your fingers as you rub your face against her length. "that's it, baby. fuck. now put your mouth on me, love."

you're needy for her, so needy that you take a little too much of her at once, gagging loudly on her cock.

sevika moans at the feeling then laughs at the embarrassment on your face when you pull back and catch your breath before trying again.

"don' laugh at me." you pout, spitting on her dick and jerking her while you blink back your tears.

"'s just cute baby. so fuckin' needy for me you choke yourself on it." she sighs.

you shiver a little. you can't really deny that. "you did amazing, by the way." you whisper. "you always do."

sevika's shoulders scrunch up to her ears, and her eyes dart away from yours. you giggle. "shush. you aren't supposed to be talking right now."

you laugh and kiss her wrist, then try again, taking her back in your mouth and slowly working down her cock.

sevika melts against the wall behind her, and her eyes fly back to yours. you hum around her and she groans. "shit, i'm not gonna last, baby, fuck." sevika whines as she starts thrusting into her mouth.

drool is trailing down your chin and into a puddle on the floor, and when sevika's thigh starts shaking you sink two fingers into your cunt, getting ready to take her.

"fuck, i love you." sevika whines. "i love you so much, baby, love your fuckin' mouth, love fuckin' your mouth--" she cuts herself off with a little giggle, and then she groans. "off-- off-- pull off baby, i'm gonnahh!" sevika shudders as you pull away right before her orgasm. she glares down at you, and you giggle, kissing her clothed thigh. "get up here." she growls, tugging you to your feet and roughly shoving you back against the sink.

you grin, shimmying out of your pants with sevika's help, kissing her anywhere you can reach as she hauls you up.

"you ready for me?" she asks, rubbing her cock against your soaked folds. you whine and nod.

"been ready for you since you put that suit on." you tease.

sevika just chuckles and pushes in, both of you groaning at the feeling.

"oh fuck, please tell me you're close." sevika whines, ducking down to bite at your neck as she starts hammering into you.

your hand flies to your clit, rubbing quick little circles against it in time with her thrusts. "s-so close." you whimper.

sevika shivers at your answer, then lifts up to kiss you on the lips. "i love you so much." she whispers.

"p-please cum inside me, sev, wanna make you feel good."

"y-you always do baby, fuck!" she shouts as she fills you up, cumming and shivering against you.

you grin, satisfaction and pleasure filling you equally until you're falling apart around her, laughing and moaning as you pull sevika to your chest.

"you really did do amazing, you know." you sigh after you catch your breath.

sevika smiles against you. "i know. practiced really hard last night, my wife finds it sexy when i give speeches."

"your wife finds it sexy when you do anything, love." you correct her. she grins.

"can we go home now?" she asks.

you giggle and nod. "kinda have to babe. my shirts covered in drool, and i'm sure we got cum somewhere on your pants or something." you say.

sevika cackles.

i wanna see dealer chris get into like a real bad situation, not like life threatening, but maybe a deal gone wrong and reader is like "oh 😃" bc it's easy to forget sometimes that that life is not all sunshine and rainbows y'know

"five minutes, promise," chris had said, leaning over to nudge your nose with his. "just chill. you can pick the music while you wait."

you nod eagerly, cheeks warm and your hands tucked into the sleeves of your oversized cardigan as you adjust the aux and pick something soft and dreamy. you like the fact that it doesn't match the sketchy street you're currently parked on or the way chris disappears into the alley with his hood up.

it doesn't even cross your mind to worry. you're thinking about what kind of treat you should bake for your boyfriend later, if he might prefer cookies over brownies, and what kind. you think he'd like chocolate chip, but you do remember the time you'd made snickerdoodles and he'd pretended not to like them but stole a couple off the plate later on.

ten minutes pass. then fifteen.

and then—

you flinch when the door yanks open. chris slides in, breathing hard, but not panicked. not quite. his hoodie is pulled low, your gaze sliding down to his hand, which is... bleeding.

"oh," you breathe softly, eyes a little wider than before. "chris... your hand."

he doesn't look at you right away. instead, he starts the car, twisting the key into the ignition. "s'nothin'."

you blink, your gaze dropping further to his lap where the torn roll of bills sits like it had been shoved there in a hurry. his sleeve is ripped at the seam, and there's a scratch on his cheek. the radio is still playing softly, the instruments humming low in your ears, only now it's not quite as comforting as before.

"...did someone hurt you?" you ask after a pause, genuinely confused.

chris scoffs under his breath, shifting gears. "nah, i'm fine. just a dumb kid tryin' to act tough."

your head tilts. "did you... get in a fight?"

a beat.

then, quietly, "yeah. kinda."

you blink again. your mouth opens, then closes. you look at him like you're trying to do a math problem but keep getting the answer wrong.

"oh..."

slowly, you sit back against the seat, staring at the windshield. you don't cry, and you're not angry. you're just... processing.

because in your head, being a dealer means chris is cool and mysterious and good with his hands. it means he buys you silly things and stays out late and kisses your neck when he makes his quiet returns. you don't think about fists or torn sleeves or blood on the steering wheel.

after a moment, you glance at his hands again. "did it hurt?" you ask, voice small and curious.

chris glances at you, and then down at his knuckles before shrugging. "not really. 'm used to it."

"oh," you say again.

the car is quiet again, your fingers twisting into the hem of your sweater. "i thought your job was like, just talking to people and... you know. like business stuff. not..." you struggle to find the right words, and chris raises an eyebrow.

"not getting punched in the face?"

you blink. "well, yeah."

your boyfriend huffs a dry laugh, but it isn't mean. one hand leaves the steering wheel in favor of reaching over to rest his hand on your thigh gently.

"y'forget sometimes, huh?"

you nod, eyes still a little wide though you find comfort in his touch. "i guess so," you admit a bit sheepishly.

to you, the reality of his job wasn't real—not until right now anyway. and even now, you're not sure you know how to be scared. you just know there's a little crack in the version of chris that you see. the one who's invincible and handles everything that goes wrong with ease.

you're not crying, but you almost wonder if you should be.

[nonranghaes]

heads up: reader is kinda implied to be a 00z liner or very close to felix's age. reader implied to be dealing with depression.

felix's hands knead at your shoulders, slowly working down your spine as you let yourself sink into the mattress for once. for the most part, you're quiet, aside from the occasional pained gasp or grunt. it's always followed by a "no, it's fine--i'm just tense there" as he works out the tension in your shoulders. he hisses a little when he feels a knot, and coaxes you through the pain as he works it out with his fingers.

you shift underneath him, just enough to turn your face. "i feel like i'm getting old."

he laughs a little at it. "oh, really? then i guess i'm getting old, too." he dips forward just enough to press a quick peck against your spine. "i've noticed you've got some gray hairs, yeah."

you just snort a little. "does it ever bother you?" you shut your eyes, resting your head against your pillow. "getting older, i mean."

"sometimes? yeah. not in a bad way." he finds another knot and hisses. "oh. honey, you should have said something sooner."

you just pout in response. "i didn't realize i was this bad." but you go back to the original topic easily enough, "it's not like... i don't want to get older. just feels weird. i never thought i'd get this far in life. sometimes... sometimes i don't get how i did."

"you're stronger than you think." he pulls his hands away when you jolt underneath him. "sorry," he says, "you wanna stop for a moment? that one's bad, i think."

with a nod, you prop yourself up on your elbows. "i guess... i guess i just don't know what to do anymore. life used to be so easy, y'know? go to school, come home, do it all over again... now there's work and bills and--and bullshit to deal with..." you just let out a long, heavy sigh. "i guess i'm just saying that... it feels like i didn't see myself ever dealing with it, so it's weird that i am."

felix kisses your shoulder once more, lips lingering against your skin before he pulls away. "i'm glad that you are." he's always so gentle when the two of you discuss things like this. the way you always try to be for him when he opens up. "aren't you?"

you turn, just enough that you can see his face, and nod. "yeah." you nod firmly, smiling just a little. "i am."

Bill Living His Best Life

I requested a Cameo from Steve Palmer, and it was everything I had hoped! Here it is, for all my fellow Bill Williamson appreciators!

(Transcript below the cut.)

Thank you so much, Steve, I absolutely love it, and I laughed out loud at the end! (Bill needs a hug.)

"Hey, so Zana Zira requested a Cameo herself, from me, Steve J. Palmer. I play Bill Williamson in the Red Dead Redemption game series from Rockstar Studios, and Zana had this question:

Zana says, 'Hi Steve, I love your work, and I was curious what you think Bill would have aspired to or enjoyed if he had the opportunity to live his best life,' as opposed to the tragedy that befell him in the series. 'He's really such a tragic character, and I'd love to know what happiness could have looked like for him.'

Well, that is a great question Zana. Um, you know the story, I think the story in itself, I wouldn't change a thing about it because Bill is meant to be a tragic character and that's why, even though it can be heartbreaking, some people think he got what he deserved but that's... that's great storytelling and to be able to be objective and - and look at it through sometimes even a painful lens... Ah, but because... In the hypothetical sense of, y'know, eh woulda-coulda-shoulda if Bill hadn't made a left instead of a right, or what have you, um... I think Bill... Y'know, ah, that's a really good question.

Bill could've... I think Bill could've, uh, y'know, might've been happy bein' a security guard at a... y'know, at an oil pla - at an oil refinery, or he could've, uh, done manual labor at a... Well, no. No, I don't think Bill would've been happy with any of that. You know Bill, Bill kinda rejects authority.

But I think Bill could've... In the modern world he could've found a nice person to relate to, person he could live the rest of his life to, find that one special person. Who that person is, that's been debatable since the series came out. So, that's the big question, like is Bill a bear at heart, could he have found some guy? I - I could see him running a tavern, or basically his significant other being like running the tavern and maybe Bill would just kinda, y'know, bring supplies in and run security.

I think Bill really just needed to be loved, and uh, I think if Bill had found - See, there's your answer. If Bill had found that special person, and - and - and that would've been his outcome as opposed to the tragedy that would later befall him, I think he would've done anything. I think he would've done anything. I think that finding true love would have usurped his - his defiance of authority, and he would have been happy with any task.

That's in my head, but uh... anyway, hope that answers your question. Um... We'll never know. We will never know, but it's interesting to think about. Anyway, Zana Zira, have a wonderful, wonderful day, and outlaws for life.

[In Bill's voice] And, uh, yeah, y'know, you're not gonna - nothin's gonna happen unless you start a dating profile, so that's on me. Guess I should - don't be so scared to get myself out there."

[thistlerock]

You ever think about how the last time Fabian talks to his father before the whole. Y'know. Saying goodbye and killing him thing is them fist fighting in a jail cell? I forgot about it. It's been a while since I watched freshman year. But that's what happens, right? They fight in that jail cell and then Bill doesn't come back? Ow. Big ow.

But well, on the topic of William Seacaster. I think a lot about how much he and Fabian love each other, I think a lot about his misguided parenting fuck up. Everyone probably does. I also think it's probably weird that he is dead and gone and yet so technically available to talk to. He's "just" in hell. He's still "there". Fabian can see him sometimes, and even if he can't then his influence on the world is still very noticeable. And yet he's usually just beyond Fabian's grasp. I think that stings more than if he were just unreachable. If death doesn't mean the end then why is his father no longer with him? If his father is no longer with him then why can his memory not rest? Why does Fabian have to miss him knowing that they could be together, they just aren't?

Idk, I just think it'd be kinda fucked if I had to process the death of someone I really loved and I don't even get to grief properly because less than a year later me and my friends are on their awesome hell ship. And my friend can just go to hell whenever she wants so going back is absolutely an option. So my loved one is constantly right there in my hypothetical reach but they're, like, not. They're not. How are you supposed to move on?? Fabian sure doesn't. At least someone like Riz had a few years to sit on the death of his father and process it before seeing him again. What Fabian has is nice he's so happy to hang out with his father occasionally but it also probably messes with him.

Actually I think that's a lot of Fabian's life. Like, kind of awesome but also really bad. Like, this feels nice (or at least fine) right now but eventually you're going to look back and think this is where it started this is why I'm miserable right now. Man I just think about Fabian a lot. I think about punching your father in the face in your first argument of your life and the next time you see him (which is after a comparatively really long time) he's on death's door and you stab him through the heart. I think about seeing him as a proud devil, so much greater than you even in death. I think about accepting that you're not him but sometimes lying awake at night and wondering why you couldn't just become him. I think about quietly wondering if that's why he's so far away and not with you right now, or even worse why you're not with him. Were you supposed to catch up? And then violently trying to exorcise that thought because you know it's not true. But it's. There. It likes to bother you at night.

[disgruntleddemon]

i feel like a part of Better World Fiddleford will always miss the society of the blind eye and the memory gun. don't get me wrong, he's very happy with how his life turned out, but every now and then, he has his moments.

i think realistically, what he misses most, sense of control it gave him, and the lack of responsibilities. it acted as a kind of escapism y'know?

i also think he kept his old robes as a reminder (heavy handed ironic symbolism intended on his part), but never told Ford or Stan he did that. he just pulls out out sometimes when he's alone. it also means i can have it be something Dipper and Mabel discover down the line if i end up wanting to do anything w that.

anyways, Fiddleford feels a lot of guilt and embarrassment whenever he misses that time in his life, but he doesn't rly know how to talk about it. which is a little ironic, cause Ford especially would understand given the whole thing with Bill.

dw tho, this isn't a super common occurrence or anything. just once in a blue moon. he really is doing good, all things considered. i also think it's kinda funny how dramatic this is, given how goofy my next bw idea is hjkjhj

sometimes u gotta just snuggle the robes from when you lead a cult. normal stuff

[gf-brainrot-central]

Background details/me blabbing about my askblog yaaay!! Mostly because it's difficult for me to get motivated as it is! Plus maybe after being inactive for 2 years (rip ���) this will help pique interest? Idk I just wanna talk about my sillies tbh. And the Axolotl needs a break you know? My guy's watching over an entire multiverse.

First off. The post about my LGBTQIA+ headcanons here: https://www.tumblr.com/craycray-wolf/737090570384703488/while-in-wait-for-the-book-of-bill-already-hard?source=share

It's still accurate to how I feel about the characters...mostly. In the time since I made this post, I have since been converted to "Grunkle Stan is bi" and I'm now preaching the Good Word 🤟

Anyway with that now amended, here's some stuff!

I originally made the majority of the posts about where everyone is now back in 2022, when I intended to have the blog launched as part of the 10th anniversary of Gravity Falls airing.

Well clearly that didn't pan (🩷💛💙🍳) out but maybe it was so it could instead coincide with all the revelations from TBoB! Life is kinda a beautiful thing sometimes.

Anyway point being, I'll have to tweak the timeline a bit. Which is fine because I wanted Dippin Dots and Mabes to hold some jobs before college anyway so really my lack of updating is just an excuse for this. That's the major point I could think of but if I didn't properly consider others please sound off 📣 (yes I'm a cringe emoji user AND I'M PROUD)

Soos and Melody are still attempting to conceive because they want at least one bio child if they can but they're working on adoption.

Many assume Gus Burnside to be missing or worse dead. But maybe... he's still out there somewhere...with his physical body fulfilling a deal. But y'know! No one can say for certain!

To be completely honest I'm still figuring out my interpretation of Bill's backstory. Sorry about that.

Though the reason the Axolotl has contacted our dimension to begin with has to do with his concern...about a certain someone. And who better to give a helping hand than the fandom and the Zodiac?

Since Stan taught Wendy how to hot wire vehicles and whatnot, they one day found a fairly intact Harley motorcycle in the dump. They fix it up together and Stan declares it hers. This is where her Harley previously mentioned in other posts comes from.

When did this happen? I've always assumed the Stans come back to land from time to time, including some summers. So likely during summer but a holiday could work too!

Mabel loves being a passenger. Dipper not so much unless he clings tight. Wendy installs a seat back at some point and this helps ease his anxiety. A little. He likes seeing the scenery though so he'll bare through it if asked to ride. Not to mention he cares for Wendy and thus doesn't want to deny her sharing her joy.

Robbie probably figured out he wanted to be an anime artist while doodling in college classes he wasn't paying attention to. Either he was in generals or some other degree at this point. He only drew in private during high school.

THIS NEXT SECTION WILL BE SHIPS 🚨 YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Pacifica during her high school/diner years thought she like liked Dipper. And well, she was Dipper's rebound crush so at around 15 or so they dated for a while. Pacifica however eventually realizes she's actually a lesbian and was misinterpreting her care for Dippin Dots, as well as thinking she only had so many options initially. Dipper realizes it was to cope with Wendy.

Therefore they cut off romantic ties on good terms and continue to be good friends.

(I have nothing against Dipcifica, it's cute. I'm just personally a Mabcifica person and enjoy my lesbian Pacifica hc)

In their early college years Mabel and Pacifica become girlfriends, LET'S GOOOOOO

Candy and Dipper have began to catch each other's eyes... they've healed from the events of Roadside Attraction in the years since and now they can have a healthier relationship in several ways. I WILL DIE FOR THIS SHIP OKAY

Fiddleford and Ford are sweet old man boyfriends. Though romance baffles Ford it makes enough sense with Fiddleford.

Stan is Stan. Though maybe all of his family coming out awakes something in him... something new to explore about himself...

Past Billford will likely be discussed at some point, though they haven't been a thing for decades and it was toxic to begin with.

Grenda and Marius are of course married ❤️ Candy, Mabel, and Pacifica were her bridesmaids. Mabel and Candy were piling over each other trying to get the bouquet, though Wendy catches it. Uninterested in marriage she throws it back out and reflexively Dipper catches it. After confused for a solid moment he tosses it and finally Pacifica then catches it.

_________

SHIP SECTION FINISHED ⚠️

The Pines Twins revisit Gravity Falls every summer until their high school graduation. Well *maybe* they go one more after graduation but then they have job schedules to contend with.

One of those summers (probably when the Mystery Twins are 15) their parents surprise them with a visit! But then they start to question everything because y'know. Weird town.

Eventually the truth comes out about everything, and they better understand their kids.

It wasn't the easiest summer but an important one.

They let their children return because they know how dearly they love their time there, albeit with ground rules established.

As for their jobs, Mabel was a barista and Dipper restocked shelves at a grocery store.

Dipper now has come to care for his birth name and birthmark. He still likes going by Dipper but he insists that only those close with him use the name. The only reason he still wears bangs is that his hairstyle is just comfortable and familiar. This also keeps his birthmark special as only some get to see it (in full).

Mabel still loves knitting and sweaters, but she's experimented a lot with fashion throughout the years. She now has more variety in her wardrobe than sweaters and skirts.

The twins live in dorms with a couple roommates and return back to their childhood home during holidays and summer. They intend to live in Gravity Falls once they get all their education/credentials.

Waddles is an old man but still kickin'. The parents were initially upset with his presence but were convinced by Stan to begrudgingly keep him. They grew to care for the piggy as well.

The family cat (Sniffles) has since passed :(

They have a dog (Honey) now though! She was a puppy from a dog Dipper once dogsat. The owners didn't realize said dog was preggo. It was a whole thing. Anyway Mabel loves putting her in cute outfits that match Waddles, something she used to do with Sniffles.

Mabel is a k-pop multistan (originating from Candy and Grenda introducing it to her) and absolutely loves drinking boba/jelly milk tea. Dipper likes the sound of k-pop music but isn't a fan the same way his sister is. He likes milk tea but the boba pearls themselves freak him the heck out.

There's a lot more but I'm blanking 🤪

What are Rocky Horror characters opinions on IT? Do they prefer the 90s miniseries with Tim Curry, or the 2017-19 films with Bill Skarsgard?

OMG YES LPPQRFRQJQDRIRFIFTWIW5F

(Full disclosure I've not seen any of the IT movies so this is all from watching a few scenes, fully reading the plot summaries on Wikipedia, and my cultural seasoning! It's so well known that I feel as if I know a whole lot!!! I LOVE this idea!!! :D)

Frank: In ANY OTHER UNIVERSE Frank would be drawn to the Bill Skarsgard films because gay, but turns out, Tim Curry ACTUALLY HAD HIS FACE COVERED IN MAKEUP FOR THIS ROLE!!! He's got nothing to hide AND he can brag about that being his face!!! He even tried to get people to believe that that WAS him in those movies... it didn't work on ANYBODY! Ok it worked on Rocky but somebody ratted him out IMMEDIATELY after Frank left the room. To this day, everyone has been quiet about who it was and Frank STILL hasn't figured out who it was!!!.... (It was Eddie, who CANNOT take another hit-) Frank LOVES the Tim Curry miniseries but he also OPENLY WEPT in fear at it!!! The whimsy of this brand of horror definitely helped him through a few points!!! He chronically shouts "YOU'LL FLOAT TOO!!!" at the top of his absolute lungs and for a second Riff Raff got really excited because he hadn't seen the show yet and he thought that that meant getting high on free drugs! Drugs are on the house tonight!!!!.... unfortunately he was wrong!!! But still, Frank LOVES that show and claims the movies with Bill Skarsgard to be inferior solely because they do not feature his face!!!! He loves them a lot even if they do terrify the LIVING HELL out of him!!!

Brad: Brad definitely thinks that they're cool!!! He's partial to the new movies because they felt very affirming to him in his bisexuality and identity!!!! He'd never seen representation in such a powerful way! To take something so classic? To take Stephen King's classic novel and make it have some representation? That's a PHENOMENAL thing that he didn't think would ever happen!!! He feels so happy to watch it happen! That said, he does get a sense of "wait, what?" Anytime Pennywise does something new!!! Like, yes he understands that Pennywise takes the form of everybody's worst fear.... but it still confuses him sometimes!!! That said, he actively avoids the question, "What form would Pennywise take for you?" because all of these things ACTIVELY make him scared of what Pennywise would be for him!!! Because in truth? He has absolutely NO idea! Sure, he's scared of things, but he honestly can't quite tell what he's scared of!!! And that fact makes him think a whole lot!!! He's not sure that he wants to think those thoughts!!! That said, he does, LOVE It!!!

Janet: It's a bit much for her and she DEFINITELY gets scared at a lot of different parts, but she also secretly does enjoy it a whole lot!!! She prefers the Tim Curry version just a bit because there's a reason that it managed to get away with a PG-13 rating instead of an R rating! The effects are a bit less realistic and she finds comfort in that!!! It's still scary of course, but it's definitely easier to digest!!! She lets out her little squeaky yelps all the time and Brad thinks that it's adorable!!! It's gotten to the point where she objectively does it more than she has to just to make him happy!!! The rest of the gang can't get irritated at it because she's just so damn cute!!! They both are!!! Janet does enjoy it when the clown horror gets as playful as it does!!! She's in the minority of people who never once found clowns creepy until someone else had the idea to use them for horror, so she's kinda comforted by the fact that he's a clown!!! She LOVES all the clown-like things that he does and she ADORES the thing with the red balloons!!! And y'know what? Good for her!!!

Riff Raff: Riff Raff 100% prefers the Bill Skarsgard movies for a VERY important reason... Well, for a few reasons!!! Number 1! Gay! Number 2! Pennywise having Frank's face.... Yeah that might ACTUALLY be the form that Pennywise would take to scare him. Frankenfurter in that clown makeup... words cannot express how much that technique would OBJECTIVELY work!!! He just watched all of the violence and torture and was like, "Yup! Seems about right!" In the Bill Skarsgard movies however, he's got NOTHING holding him back from enjoying that dancing clown!!! He REALLY enjoys the dancing scene and the way that the group of friends vowed to all come back!!!! However he did NOT like the way that the found family un-found itself at the end!!! He's always envied a full familial love like that (he's got Magenta ofc!) And he REALLY felt a lot of pain for Bill and the stubborn hope that Bill had to believe that Georgie was alive!!! And his heart is oddly warmed by the group being called the Losers!!! Anyways, he was glad that at least two of em married each other!!! But he loves the movies!!! He loves the way that the horror is kind of whimsical!!! It makes things so much more fun!!! It feels a little bit like the aesthetic of an I Spy book to him!!! And he really does love that!!!

Magenta: Oh Magenta LOVES It!!! Magenta is a HUGE horror fan and It is a MASSIVE horror staple that she loves so much!!! She thought that she couldn't love anything more than the Tim Curry miniseries, but then the Bill Skarsgard movies came out (both of which she saw opening night at midnight!!!) And she was TOTALLY proven wrong!!! Until then, she never fully realized how she'd feel seeing Pennywise have a face that wasn't Frankenfurter's!!!! Bill Skarsgard CHANGED THE GAME!!! She was totally in awe of him and the movies!!! The one thing that had her RIDICULOUSLY angry was the fact that the movie cut the iconic dialogue between Pennywise and Georgie!!! She turned over to Riff Raff and she was making the "what the FUCK? WHAT THE FUCK HAVE THEY DONE?!?!?" hand motions and Riff Raff had to cover her mouth as to stop her from yelling and getting them kicked out of the theater!!! But Magenta ABSOLUTELY ADORED the rest of it!!! She was able to forgive it all things considered!!! Also, she'll admit it! A big thing that she loved in the newer movies was the increase of quality in the special effects!!!! She LOVED that SO MUCH!!! She also did her classic move of laughing at the horror a few times, but she absolutely ADORES It!!!!!

Columbia: Columbia thinks that the movies are so much fun!!! She doesn't really have a preference as to which version, she just loves the story as a whole!!! She loves the balloons and she goes around asking everybody what they'd see if Pennywise hunted them!!! For her, she thinks that he'd appear as a massive shark!!! She's scared of being eaten by a shark!!! She hates to admit it, but she did laugh when Riff Raff told her that his answer was literally just "That" whilst pointing at the Tim Curry version of Pennywise!!! But it was objectively funny in the moment and she's been more than forgiven!!! He liked that it amused her!!! She likes to attempt to do Pennywise's dances herself, just for fun!!! And she can TOTALLY do the ones that are doable by humans!!! She loves the clown music in a HUGE way!!! She thinks that all the versions are so much fun!!!! She loves to point out the little differences and the little similarities!!! She's just incredibly grateful to have both versions!!! She LOVES them both so much!!!

Rocky: Rocky is unfortunately too young to watch It at this age!!!.... but they showed it to him anyways!!! This is also objectively not the most age-innapropriate thing that he has seen!!! He doesn't really have a favorite version because he (thankfully) doesn't understand much of what's going on at this age and he's in that beautiful age of, "I love clowns!!!" So he just was thinking to himself, "Man, I do so love the clown but this is boring! Somebody put on Beauty and the Beast!!!" That being said, he did clap like an adorable little kid everytime Pennywise danced or did a "really amazing cool trick!!!" In Rocky's words!!! Nobody had the heart to explain to him that- throughout the versions- No, Pennywise did not spill red Gatorade everywhere! No, Pennywise did not make Georgie's arm dissappear like a magician!!! No, Pennywise did not make Georgie disappear like a magician!!! No- nobody tell him what "You'll float, too" means!!! Nobody tell him that!!! If he suspects that something adult is going on that he doesn't understand, the alibi is drugs!!! The ALIBI IS DRUGS! All in all, Rocky likes Pennywise!!! It's hard for him to get attached to human leads in a modern setting at this age!!! He likes some things in It... but he also should not be watching It for many years!!!

Eddie: Eddie thinks that it's so much fun!!! It is definitely the closest that he will ever get to having a sense of whimsy and fun!!!.... And that is saying SO much!!! He really does enjoy it a lot, though!!! And he DID cry at the ending!!! And by cry I do mean that he absolutely wept like a baby!!! Two of the Losers are DEAD??? DEAD??? And in some versions they're FORGETTING EACH OTHER??? FOREVER??? He doesn't like that at all!!! The hardcore horror vibe of It lured him in and now he's fully attached and there's nothing that he can do to stop it!!! Doctor Scott cries for him in this instance!!! He's objectively OVERJOYED that his nephew is crying with love over something!!! Eddie really loves all the creepy scenes and he gets really excited!!! He LOVES seeing all the insane things that Pennywise can do!!! He's always excited to see what's going to happen next!!! He gets a MASSIVE thrill from It and he did NOT expect to get attached!!! But he did!!! And everybody LOVES that he did!!! And he did!!!

Doctor Scott: Doctor Scott DEFINITELY appreciates It!!! That right there is a classic!!! He's partial to the miniseries with Tim Curry because it's older and well, it was his first version of the show!!! He's always going to appreciate the version that started it all out for him!!! He's been watching Tim Curry play Pennywise for FAR longer than he's known Frankenfurter!!! So if anything, Frankenfurter has Pennywise's face to him!!! He'll never tell Frank, because Frank would NOT take well to that!!! Pennywise is support to lift up HIS honor!!! Not the other way around!!! Not that that kind of comparison makes any sense whatsoever, but it's definitely the way that Frank would look at things!!! Doctor Scott thinks that the concept is SO creative and he grew up at a time when most toys were OBJECTIVELY pretty creepy looking back, so this feels about right!!! He loves to see all of the delightfully terrifying things that Stephen King can come up with!!! He LOVES the way that the story unfolds and he will ALWAYS root for children to make it out alive!!! He did sob when he first watched Georgie die, though!!! But he got through it and he LOVES the show!!!

The Criminologist: The Criminologist wishes he could turn this into a case and describe it SO BAD!!!! Realistically, there is that little part of his brain that's reminding him that that means that he's wishing that all of this was real and that Pennywise is objectively the last thing that this town needs!!! They've survived aliens that DON'T wake up every thirty years to kill people!!! They do NOT need to go through one that DOES!!! But alas, there is a little tiny part of him that thinks that DentonDerry has a nice ring to it.... and that tiny little part is 100% the WINNING part!!! He doesn't really have a preference in terms of the two versions, but his favorite part is ALWAYS discovering what Pennywise actually is and the discoveries that lead up to that, too!!! He thinks that it's SO fascinating and he's SO THRILLED to see what happens next every single time!!! He DEFINITELY loves It and he's TOTALLY excited that it's aliens!!! He wishes that Pennywise were real!!! No he doesn't!!! But he mostly does!!! And y'know what? He's a fan, so good for him!!!! Pennywise isn't going to come to life either way, so this fantasy is perfectly fine!!!

[raccoon-in-a-dumpster]

let me hear some about my boy evan!

oh boy!!!

so. his name at birth was "baby boy" actually. the aftons named him Evan because well "god is gracious" or whatever.

he was a really quiet baby. except for when he cried. when he cried, he fucking SHRIEKED.

his first word was "bear". his second word was "micah"

the fredbear plush always had a camera and a speaker. both Maribeth and William knew this. it was originally so Will could keep an eye on him when he was at work, and calm him down when he cried. sometimes he'd do silly voices into the speaker so he could hear him giggle

he was the only Afton child to NOT get any braces!

he liked putting things in his mouth. anything from his toys, to william's robes, to michael's homework. (he would use this to his advantage, going to school saying "my baby brother ate my homework :(")

michael made Foxy have a parrot cause he was like: omg baby brother!!! :0

he was VERY EASY to entertain as a baby. turn on a cartoon or play peek-a-boo with him. he'll be entertained for hours.

he could fall asleep ANYWHERE. at the diner, on the carpet, on Bill, on Henry, on Mike, in a dryer, in the sink, anywhere.

he used to like playing with Michael, even "wrestling" was ok cause mikey would always go easy on him. used to.

he is kinda scared of everything. michael totally feeds into it ("y'know, a kid i know almost choked on [food], had to go to the hospital, almost died!" "you see these? (sea lamprey) they're blood eating parasites. be careful or they might GET'CHA" "careful evan, or something might crawl out of that duct and EAT YOU!", etc)

when michael worked the nightshift at Freddy's, he dropped a foxy plush head on the desk with a note. scared the man SOOO bad.

he likes petting the rats in the saferoom.

he's like a little brother to Cassidy and Charlie.

he made up fnaf world. he can get REALLY existential sometimes. freaks the other kids out. he made Susie start crying once andhe felt so bad :(

he would torment mike in his dreams. so that michael would be so scared of sleeping, just like he was (he would cry when william told him to go to bed)

his relationships with the Nightmares kinda represents his feelings about michael and his friends... the last one to mellow out was Foxy. when him and michael talked. something along the lines of "i love you... you don't have to say it back." "...okay."

he kinda just stares a lot.

he used to think mikey and his friends were so cool! he would follow them around and they'd treat him all big!

Bebe rank 10

Maya rank 4

Mamoru rank 2

The first interaction is completely different. Text only since it's quite long.

Mamoru: Man this is good stuff… If I had the money, I'd get some for Mom. …Hey, {F1 0B}. Can you keep today a secret? That I had ramen, I mean.

{"A secret from who?"}

Mamoru: Y'know, my trainer, the coach… They all decide what I can or can't eat. It's not fair! Normal people get to eat whatever they want. But, if that's what I have to do to win, then…

> Mamoru seems confused.

{"Yeah, no problem."}

Mamoru: Thanks.

> Mamoru is pleased.

Mamoru: Y'know, my trainer, the coach… They all decide what I can or can't eat. It's not fair! Normal people get to eat whatever they want. But, if that's what I have to do to win, then…

Mamoru: Man this is good stuff… If I had the money, I'd get some for Mom. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that, huh? I get to eat for free here. Not just here, but any restaurant in the whole strip mall. They're all supporting me. I'm the only one who can eat as much as I want, wherever I want. Cool, huh? But I feel kinda bad about taking advantage of their sponsorship, so sometimes I pay the bill anyway… Someday, I'll pay them back for everything I owe. But for now, I gotta keep letting those restaurant owners spoil me. Someday I'll be famous, and then I'll be the one sponsoring them!

{I'm jealous.}

Mamoru: Haha, yeah, right. I've got a lot of people to support… That's why I won't rest until I'm a big star.

> Mamoru seems a bit tired…

{No pressure, huh?}

Mamoru: Well, I'd be lying if I said there wasn't ANY. But you gotta have some pressure to keep you motivated, right? What matters is how you deal with it.

> Mamoru seems to keep telling himself that…

The Star ultimate Persona is different

All the test questions and clasroom lectures are different. That's so many, so I'll maybe do it in another post.

On 8/14, Edogawa doesn't mention his supplimentary lessons.

Starting Christmas date

Yuko: This is the best Christmas ever. I'm having an amazing time.

Yuko: This isn't my usual Christmas. To be honest, I'm normally not that interested in Christmas. It's nice, sure, but it's just another day. But when I was a kid, and we had chicken and cake as a family, after the presents in the morning… I'd wake up and find the presents right by my pillow. I really believed Santa had come during the night! Back then, it was so much fun… And now, this year, it's fun again in a different way. This is my kind of Christmas!

This one is after choosing 'So, what's next?', so I couldn't find footage of FES'.

Chihiro: What…? Umm, what exactly do you mean by that…? ……
I-If… If I'm with [F1 0B]-san…

Chihiro: I'm so glad we could spend today together… Um, thanks! I've been really nervous… ever since this morning.

Chihiro: This is, um, the first special occasion I've shared with someone… But, um… …if you don't mind, [F1 0B]-san… …… I'd like to spend more time with you like this…

Chihiro: Umm… I-I've been so nervous since this morning… Because, well… You know… Today is Christmas Eve, when you see lots of couples. This is… my first Christmas together with a boy… I don't really know what to do…

Chihiro: Ahaha… This is kind of awkward. It's not as if I'm with a stranger… I'm with you, [F1 0B]-san. I know I shouldn't be so nervous. After all, I've already embarassed myself in front of you so many times… …… Christmas… What a beautiful season.

Ending Christmas date

These are really long so just the text

Yukari: Oh, look how late it is… We better get going. Thanks for today.

> You decide to go back to the dorm.

Yukari: Wow, look at the time… …… We can stay a little longer, right…? I'm sure everyone else is going to be late getting back too, since it's Christmas… …Well, maybe not Junpei. I'm sure he's hanging out with the guys… But uh, that's a little off subject… What I wanted to say was… I want to be with you a little longer tonight… …… H-Hey, are you cold? It's cold, right? …… Can I… come closer? …… H-How about if you… wrap your arms around me…

> You spent time with Yukari until night fell.

Fuuka: It's getting late… Thanks so much for today.

> You decide to go back to the dorm.

Fuuka: We should get going soon… …Oh! Mitsuru-senpai said that since she doesn't think everyone will get back in time, we won't go to Tartarus.
I really look up to Mitsuru-senpai. She's so kind and reliable… …What about you, [F1 0B]-kun? …Oh, s-sorry! I think that came out the wrong way… I thought you might like Mitsuru-senpai… you know… as a woman. I guess I'm just afraid that… you'll go away... B-But I'm happy to be here with you today… It means a lot to me. …… …Thank you for staying with me. I'll always be happy to support you… and to be with you. Not just in battle, or during a mission, but… from now on, I… Love-- …*gasp* U-Um! Sorry about that! …… What should we do after this…? After all… we have more time…

> You spent time with Fuuka until night fell.

Mitsuru: It's getting late… Thank you for accompanying me today.

> You decide to go back to the dorm.

Mitsuru:
It's getting late… …Sometimes, when I'm with you, I wish the wristwatch had never been invented. What would you call this feeling…? …… Is it safe to say it's…? …… S-Sorry. I was talking to myself. …… It was only an idle thought. Don't look at me like that… You'll see my face getting red… …… This place is too bright… …Let's change places.

> You spent time with Mitsuru until night fell.

Yuko: Wow, look at the time… We'd better get going. Thanks for coming today!

> You decide to go back to the dorm.

Yuko: Shoot, how'd it get so late…? I don't wanna go home. …… I want to stay here… …... Just kidding! ……
I mean, we have school tomorrow. We can't stay here all night dressed in our uniforms! So we've gotta go home�� right? ……
…Well… Let's stay a little bit longer…

> You spent time with Yuko until night came.

Chihiro: Wow, it's getting late… Thanks for today.

> You decide to go back to the dorm.

Chihiro: Did you… notice the time…? It flew by so fast. I hope we don't get in trouble with the police… their station is right there, too. …… …But I might not mind if that happens… I just want to stay by your side for a little longer… When I'm with you, I'm nervous, but I'm comfortable, too… I don't know what to think… But those are the times I love… the times I spend with you. …… A-And not just the times… Your face, your fingers, your smell… Everything… ……
D-Don't make me say it… …… Ohhh…!

> You spent time with Chihiro until night came.

I mean this in the most genuine way possible, why are you getting so hung up on the walrus vs fairy thing? You’ve gotten really rude for no reason over a dumb funny tumblr poll

[tone indicator for the whole post: sleepy, chill, a lot of shrugs and vague handwaves]

idk man. to your second thing, I'm not trying to be more rude than usual so I apologise if that's how it's coming across. also, I'm at least half doing a bit, and sometimes me Doing A Bit can come across weird in text

to your first thing, again, idk man, but I think part of it is that I tend to get kinda skittish around things where people, like... hmm. idk how to phrase it, but whenever people get really dismissive about the distinction between funny fantasy magic stuff and real-world stuff, it makes me kinda nervous, I guess?

like, I get really irritated about astrology and stuff. I feel like it's really important to be able to, like, keep a solid grip on what's actually really real -- like, with Goncharov stuff, everyone was being like "yeah goncharov is the greatest film ever", but when push comes to shove, people will admit that "yeah, this is a bit, we're doing a bit, Goncharov isn't a real movie", y'know? (some people refused to put down the bit, though, even when asked to (sometimes by people with mental health problems that were being triggered) and those people are assholes)

but for some reason with this walrus-fairy thing it seems to almost be going in the opposite direction? like as it becomes a bigger and bigger Bit, more and more people are coming out of the woodwork talking, basically, about how they just straight-up do not believe that science is real. and THAT makes me reeeeal antsy.

like, I know people mostly aren't thinking about it like this, and I'm overthinking it, but, like, think about it like this:

a fairy (in the way the question was originally intended by the OP, and the way that I am interpreting it, and to some degree I believe the way that most others are interpreting it) is an inherently magical creature; that is, a creature whose literal existence would mean that the basics of how we understand the physical world are wrong from from the foundation, and thus, all of science -- which is all built on that foundation -- is also wrong. this is not a case of "a new scientific discovery that builds on or recontextualises previous scientific history", this is a case of "the fundaments of science are incorrect in their base assumptions".

a walrus is literally just a regular animal. it's not a common animal in most parts of the world, but on a sliding scale of magical to nonmagical, a walrus is exactly as "mundane" as a squirrel, a dog, a cat, a bee, or, like, a car or a t-shirt (or a pine tree or a dollar bill or a sand dune or a cloud or the planet Venus...). walruses exist in our world and we know that they do -- not for absolute certain, because obviously nothing is absolutely certain, but as close to absolutely certain as it's possible to get about almost anything, so we can say that, in practical terms, it's an absolute certainty. I am more certain that walruses exist than I am certain that you, the person asking this question, exists.

if you live in a world where it's physically possible that a fairy can arrive on your doorstep, that means that literally every single element of our understanding of the physical nature of the world is fundamentally incorrect, and all of science needs to be thrown out immediately, because we can no longer rely on it safely -- which also means that every anti-science person from six-day-creationists to antivaxxers are, at a foundational level (if not in specifics), correct that Science Is Wrong.

if you live in a world where it's physically possible that a walrus can arrive on your doorstep... well, you live in that world, right now. is it likely? no. but would it mean that all of science is wrong? no. it would just be a strange situation.

like, this is obviously a dramatic overthink about a poll where most people are, let's be honest, not actually answering the posed question. the question that the vast vast majority of people are actually answering, based on what I've seen many many people say, is not "would you be more surprised if a fairy or a walrus came to your house", it's "would an imaginary sitcom character based on you be more surprised if a fairy or a walrus came to their imaginary sitcom house".

like, tons of people in the comments are talking about how the fairy is less surprising because of [insert Thing That Only Makes Sense As A Rationale Within A Narrative here], which means that they're not answering the question. which is also irritating, but in a kind of more minor way?

sorry, this is kinda rambly and got away from me a bit. basically the tldr here is that when you have hundreds of people saying "I would find it more normal for there to be magic than for there to be a strange animal" it makes me nervous because it reminds me, however unintentionally, of soft science denialism like astrology and crystal-healing people. basically this whole sitch is either like a very small microcosm of, like, science denialism or just uncomfortably close to that. for me.

oh, and for anyone who reads this and thinks that the huge wall of text means that I'm getting really pissed off: I'm naturally extremely talkative, this is me in my kinda default slightly-sleepy rambly mode, when I'm actively angry I tend to be pretty brief. that's why I wrote that tone indicator at the top after writing the rest of the post, I realised if I didn't clarify that I was chilling and shrugging people would think I was yelling and thrashing

[wrenrogue]

kuroken au where kuroo gets mail, but it has his neighbor's address, who's this reclusive guy he's only really heard occasionally from the thin walls that separates their apartments. He thinks nothing of this since sometimes the mailman delivers the mail to the wrong mailbox. He learn's the guy's name is Kozume Kenma based on the mail and he goes to deliver them personally. When he delivers them he introduces himself and learns a tiny amount of details about his neighbor.

From then on sometimes Kuroo would get Kenma's mail and he would deliver it to him. And each time Kenma would let him know more about himself, Kuroo always standing outside his door and Kenma never asking him to come inside despite looking eager to talk to Kuroo every time he delivered his mail to him.

It wasn't long before Kenma's mail became more frequent in Kuroo's mailbox and Kuroo was getting a bit suspicious, but he genuinely enjoyed Kenma's company as weird as it was standing outside his apartment as they talked.

What he didn't know was that kenma was the one secretly adding a bit of his mail into kuroo's mailbox every once in a while. You see, Kenma had seen Kuroo around and he seemed interesting, but Kenma was terrible at making friends, much less when he thought they were attractive. So he had devised this plan to get his neighbor to come to him instead. He hoped that his neighbor was considerate enough to deliver it to him, or his billing statements would be lost forever. It was a gamble, but his neighbor might be interesting enough to be worth it.

When his neighbor delivered his mail the first time, Kenma learned three things:

1) His neighbor's name was Kuroo Tetsurou

2) Kuroo was more attractive up close

2.5) Also he was very tall... which added to his attractiveness

3) Kuroo was very easy to talk to — he was interesting

As easy as Kuroo was to talk to though, Kenma was still too awkward to let Kuroo into his home (also his apartment was not tidy enough for his "having visitors over" standards but that's beside the point), but Kuroo seemed okay with this, so they continued this routine.

Kuroo wanted to get to know Kenma more though, he wanted to hang out with him in other places not outside Kenma's door, but he wasn't sure if Kenma would like that, considering he didn't budge from his door entrance when he delivered his mail, but it wouldn't hurt asking. Because when you want something, you just have to ask for it, right?

"Would you like to visit my place sometime?"

"I don't know, why should I?"

"I have coffee"

"So do I, you're not special"

"But do you have an espresso machine?"

"..."

"Didnt think so. We can have a movie night maybe?"

And that's how reclusive Kenma finds himself in Kuroo's apartment, petting his cat, drinking espresso as they watch some cult favorite, where they exchange glances at each other when they think the other isn't looking.

"You can come to my place any time y'know?" Kuroo offers as they part ways for the night after spending most of the evening together.

"I wouldn't mind that" Kenma says from outside Kuroo's door for once.

So he doesn't mind it, and visits Kuroo when he can.

He claims he's visiting because of the espresso machine, but as time passes and as he allows Kuro to know him better and vice versa, it becomes less about getting good espresso and more about seeing the many types of smiles Kuro gives him and how he wants to kiss at least one of them

Kuro doesn't mind opening his home to Kenma, he wants him there as much as possible whether it was them cooking dinner or just a quiet evening of Kuro watching Kenma play on one of his consoles he would sometimes bring.

He wants to tease him and get him a little riled up because it was kinda hot in a cute way. Kenma's playing on his switch one on Kuro's couch one day as Kuro plays with his hair and watches him. Kenma's having difficulties concentrating though, because Kuro's fingers feel incredibly nice going though his hair. He didn't know he liked being petted so much, he wonders if Kuro would like his hair being played with too. He wonders if he could try one day. If Kuro would let him.

"Kenma, I think your character just died"

Kenma's thought bubble bursts as he sees the game over screen and curses through his teeth because he hadn't reached a save point in a while.

Kuro laughs at him for getting distracted, teases him for it, tells him he must really like Kuro petting him, which wasn't a lie, but Kuro didn't need to know that.

so Kenma just pouts at him, before turning away to restart his game a bit aggressively, but if he hadn't looked away, he would've seen the exact moment Kuroo Tetsurou fell in love with him.

"Your mail doesn't end up in mine anymore" Kuro comments one night as they lounge on Kuro's couch.

Kenma hums as he continues his game, having forgotten about the mail.

"I guess the mailman finally figured out which mailbox was yours"

Silence.

"Kuro, I have to tell you something"

"Yeah?"

Kenma thinks about it and wonders if it's wise what he's about to say "Would you be mad if I told you I put my mail in your mailbox?"

"I had a hunch but I didn't want to assume" Kuro says as if he's discussing a weather forecast and not how desperate Kenma was for connection. "Why though?"

Kenma shrugs, putting down his game, "I thought you looked interesting and I wanted to get to know you without asking directly."

Kuro just snorts, before glancing at Kenma from under his ridiculous fringe that Kenma would like to run his fingers though. "So" he begins, and Kenma knows where this is going "Am I interesting enough for you?"

Kenma scoots closer and Kuro thinks he'd like him closer still, "I wouldn't be here if you weren't."

Kuro feels his face turning red as Kenma gets nearer still, just like he wanted.

"I like you, did you know?"

"Since when did you get so direct?" Kuro finds himself smiling despite feeling sweaty as Kenma gets closer to his face.

"I like you too, did you know?"

"I had a hunch, but I didn't want to assume" Kenma says as his eyes glance down at Kuro's lips. "I want to ask you something directly this time"

"And what would that be?" Kuro whispers as Kenma climbs onto his lap

"Can I kiss you?"

"I would like it if you did" Kuro smiles tenderly at Kenma as he puts his hands on his hips.

Kenma learns that night what that specific smile feels like against his lips, he learns that Kuro does like to be petted, that Kuro's hair is nice to run his fingers through and if you pull it just right he might get some surprise unlocked achievements.

Kuro walks Kenma to his apartment; he insisted it was for safety reasons despite being next door. Kenma had agreed, because it was definitely for safety reasons and not because he didn’t want to let go of Kuro’s hand.

“So, I guess I’ll see you tomorrow?” Kuro says as he stands outside Kenma’s apartment just like he did when he was delivering mail.

“Would you like to come in?” Kenma replies instead.

“But it’s late.” Kuro finds himself saying, dumbfounded, because he’d yet to visit the inside of Kenma’s place.

“I have coffee”

“So do I, you’re not special” Kuro says as he steps forward through the door anyway.

Kenma only yanks him inside eager to learn what Kuro’s other smiles feel like against his own.

i want a second opinion on a user I think might be asking for donations for fraudulent reasons. katakurisboobymilk posts pretty constant donation posts asking for help with rent, medical bills, and vet bills, and childcare. I think they may have asked for help with insulin on occasion but I can't get blog search to work. I'm sympathetic that when someone has no funds things tend to go wrong more often, but their blog has also completely devolved into talks of rumors and emergency vet visits and it's hard for me to tell. What do you think?

Note: I am not calling this person a scammer. I am tagging it with what I am due to the content mentioned throughout the post. And as always do not harass anybody mentioned here. If you do then that's kinda shitty of you. Don't do that, seriously.

-----

Hi anon! Thanks for the ask. :)

I would be extremely cautious with cases like these.

I had to go back and look because I was pretty sure I had encountered a similar situation like this from 3 months ago. I did find it! But, again, sadly I couldn't call it a scam without proper evidence.

Just note I can't (nor will) call this person a scammer either, but this type if situation is one that definitely deserves caution.

If a person posts normally then suddenly starts begging for money or items because x happened or y happened, or 'I've got cancer' or 'my cat is dying', ect ect ect until the cows come home every single day with a different but more concerning story...?

It's definitely not right.

Here are some notable examples from the other case I was looking into below the read more. It's gonna be a lot of images, be warned lol.

-----

This is the account someone told me about previously. If you look at the search linked under the first one, you may find similarities between what this user is saying, and what this other user has said in the past.

It was under a different username then and has since changed.

And with that in mind let's keep the paypal.me in mind for this next bit. (it's what I searched on tumblr too btw. if you need to see just how much this person asks for every. single. day. I feel bad calling it begging/grifting but.. y'know...)

What caught my eye with this all.. is that this paypal was being used... By other accounts. That were older, sure, but they were also using this for similar 'I need help with x y z' type spam scenario. These posts get dozens if not hundreds of notes, so I'm not sure if they use alts or if they're real people or what.

But let's move on to the next bit.

That paypal.me address was also being used by this tumblr account:

and this one:

and this one which deactivated:

and yet another deactivated tumblr account:

and they'reon twitter now too:

There's also another account that's been doing similar e-begging in ask/DM and is suspected to be a hybrid person/bot account called laumi-narry. I won't link to the account, but here's the link to one of the searches for evidence of similar begging. They have an alt account too they're doing this on as well. Link here.

Not to this degree, but very similar.

-----

All I can say anon, is that if a person on tumblr doesn't seem genuine, let alone human other than them asking for things all the time... Trust your gut. If it doesn't sit well with you, don't donate. I know doing research can be tedious sometimes but in the end, just trust your gut. If the signs of what they do don't sit right, then I'd block and ignore.

If they were acting normal and then suddenly they started asking for money and all that constantly? It's possible they a) got hacked, or b) they were pretending to be normal and it was all a ruse just to then straight up try and scam people.

Just like those accounts that get super popular and then turn into dropshipping advertisements to peddle their scam/knock off websites by editing their posts. Yeah.. they do that.

Again, I can't outright call this person you mentioned a scammer.

But I do find that type of behavior extremely concerning, if not scummy. Because it prays on peoples hearts and minds and some people on tumblr aren't bright enough to realize they're being taken for a ride.

Plus I noticed they tag the same people for 'reach' in every comment section of their post.. which feels.. odd... if not weird.

And- oh look they reblogged from the account I mentioned too. So maybe they're connected? Again not sure, just a thought.

Plus if someone's really that down and out and needs x y z, I'm sure there's food banks and other such things in their area they could go to. You could try seeing where they live and then send them links to sources for food banks and such.

But that might piss them off and get you blocked lol.

(Which.. again.. resources are something a genuine person in need would usually be thankful for that...just saying...)

Also: Never send someone money via friends and family via PayPal.

If you're being asked or told to do that by someone who's doing this kind of thing, they are 100% trying to scam you.

You can't get refunds with gifts to friends/family if you discover later it was in fact a scam. And no matter how much they try to say it, there is no 'holds' or 'wait time' on money sent normally (that I know of). Those who say that are lying and are just trying to convince you otherwise.

Hope that helps :)

hi! I hope you’re doing good and I was wondering if you can cast your mutuals as The Pacific men, women characters too? based off of their personalities? hope this isn’t too much to ask! anyways, have a good day!

hello! it's not too much to ask, i can definitely try to do that!

burgie → @im-chinese-believe-it-or-not this was the first one that popped into my head immediately!! you have burgie's soft caring side where you wanna look after all your friends/mutuals and make sure everyone is okay and feels Seen and heard and validated!! and i feel like you have that warmth and stabilising effect that burgie has on the boys too... when you're not around my dash feels slightly off! but you also know when to be firm and shut things down when people interact with you or others in bad faith! you're not a pushover at all and will stand up for the right thing even if it means you have to put on your "shut up bill" voice. i feel like you spread happiness and safe vibes in the same way that burgie does!

eddie → @hellofanidea because i feel like you have a lot of depth and i just feel like we'd have interesting conversations all the time and you're the kind of person whose brain i want to pick about random topics. you seemed like a Cool Online Person when we first became mutuals but it turned out you're actually super approachable and easy to talk to and eddie definitely feels similar in that way!

sledge → @theflyingfin because you're smart and always interesting to talk to! like eugene, you're open with how you feel about things and you just give me sledge vibes sometimes but not naive!sledge vibes but sledge who has seen some things y'know?

snafu → @aegondluvrs bc 99% of our first conversation revolved around svt and enha's teeth (rightly so) and you definitely have snafu's brand of chaos! also: if snafu was a carat in 2023 he too would have a folder dedicated to lee jihoon's teeth, we're not alone!

sid → my good friend @footprintsinthesxnd! i feel like i'm copying the quiz we did but it honestly felt really accurate to me because you're a literal sweetheart and one of the kindest people around but you're also way more than just that.. you're a great friend and always so supportive when anything has happened, and you're funny and witty in the same understated way that sid is. people probably think you're shy and quiet at first but that absolutely changes when you become friends with them. we have the best conversations and i'm genuinely so glad to have you in my life!!

leckie x lena hybrid → @lewis-winters look, i know i talk all the time about how annoying leckie is, so let me first of all say that i'm not including any of the annoying parts of his personality here... but you do have a similar charismatic intelligence thing going on.. y'know, the type of person you know you would always enjoy having a conversation with no matter what the topic is and whose opinion you would always be interested in hearing on just about anything. lena comes in with that aspect too, but you also have her enigmatic vibes, the kind that makes people wanna be friends with you!

runner → @ep6bastogne bc your posts make me laugh a ton and you're chill but also not at the same time? which is how i feel runner is too.. like he jokes around and winds leckie up and is silly af but he also gives off chill drama free vibes idk like i just feel like you're both the type of friend i would want in my life y'know?

chuckler → @lamialamia because our conversations are either about something ridiculous like sledge's ass flash and leckie's sex scenes or they're about the devastation of war and losing ack ack and eddie or something equally as terrible lmao you feel very balanced to me in that way and i think chuckler is like that too.. hilarious and jokes around but also serious when you need to be! kinda the perfect mix you would want in a friend or mutual!

vera → @hxad-ovxr-hxart because you're very funny but also very sweet! and you have vera vibes (warm and kind but witty vibes!!) and i feel like you're very approachable in the same way vera is too!

sorry if this didn't live up to your expectations anon!! this was a lot of fun to think about though!

[s41nt-b3rn4rd]

Tumblr won't let me put a read more on the orginal ask but, HELLO? HI?? I THOUGHT I HAD ANON OFF????? Yes hi I have ocs. My current favorites are like- 5 out of... so many. They'll be under the "read more" because there's alot about them. I'm normal I prommy.

Also potato if you see this, hi. {remember to read the tags for sillies}

In order of who im (SADLY) Hyperfixated on, it goes;

* Sasha {Bulleteer Aaron} , in canon she's an ex-boxer that now works at a tattoo parlor and shares an apartment with a demon she summoned while on a wine binge. She's mixed with Russian+Irish+Icelandic+Mexican heritage but grew up mainly with her Irish and Mexican heritage. She's a disaster panace who can't be picky at this point- Sasha just wants someone who she can come home to at the end of the day, and talk to like a normal person. Does she count as a villain? I hope so. She killed a small family in nebraska once. In a story/rp, she used to be the ambassador for a kingdom but settled down as a butcher. She got burn scars from it for being a #girlboss and they stayed canon. * Sydney {Witherstone Appleton} , in canon their a demon that got summoned BY Sasha. She works at a diner, but mainly lives to annoy Sasha by giving her "water curses" and "sleepy spells" which is just him staring at Sasha until she takes care of herself. Notice how Sydney has multiple pronouns! Because in my lil' oc universe- demons don't have genders. Hell is seperate by everyones own depiction and in mine- it's just.. bland. normal. Sometimes the current ruler throws parties, that's fun. You can get a gender if you want, healthcare and stuff is free. ANYWAYS- Sydney is so normal it HURTS me. It just wants to fucking get groceries, pay bills and leave. BTW they commited tax fraud but shhhh we don't have to talk about that. BTW 2 THEY ALSO KEEP IN CONTACT WITH THEIR FAMILY- HER FAMILY * Matthew {NO MIDDLENAME NOR LASTNAME}. You know that funny meme of what happens if a centaur and a mermaid have a kid?? Yeah he's that. He's basically like, a generic guy- minus his bull ears and the horn's he's growing and his ability to speak underwater and breathe underwater. In canon he used to be like- a leutanint general but now he works at a light-house. He's a weed smoking girlfriend despite being a gnc acearo man with chronic leg pain. also lung pain. In the rp he was made for, he was surprisingly the least problematic. All he did was stress knit- I'm pretty sure he got the job BECAUSE he was just! some guy! He does have horrors though. And by "horrors" I mean he grew up (and out of) the orphanage so he has little to no knowledge about his parents, chooses to stay silent/nonverbal throughout his life so his sentence forming SUCKS- he lives is life in a cycle, can barely cook nor fold laundry. To cope though, he knits and likes to sneak into gardens and revive dead/dieing plants via necromancy. BTW he grew up in the same orphanage as Sasha and they have a blood pact. If one gets hurt, so does the other. * The Asker {that's it's name}. Me and my bestie for life have an ask game with eachother, where our ocs ask eachother questions, and that's my silly little guy for it!! Funnily enough, it was based on anon asks, but eventually evolved into it's own thing. It used to live in an empty black void- with bright computer lights illuminating it's small area of safety, and a single keyboard with oh so many letters and such. But RECENTLY, that fuck ESCAPED!!! JAIL BREAK!!!!! And is currently living in the basement of a motel because "oh my god is this the outside why is it bright why is it loud oh my god oh my god [THEIR] going to [DECOMMISSION ME]." #slay, y'know? Don't worry though, it'll get a job at like- walgreens or walmart and live in a normal ass neighborhood soon. * Sammy {Picture}. Once again, another oc made for an RP that I absolutely FELL IN LOVE WITH!! He's an object-head with one of those rotary phones for a head, but more pathetic looking and kinda like a bug, but it's okay. He's a preschool teacher and admires his job. He has a situationship thing with the person who he shares an apartment with- a soap rabbit humanoid named Bob, that is also a substitute history teacher. Anyways remember the bug thing? Yeah. Sammy used to be a catipillar centaur but someone fucking robbed its grave when he died. BTW Sammy was a catipillar in this sense

and therefor he's very colorful. he's a pathetic meow meow but he's also said the most ominous insults ever. He's my favorite bc I like to imagine him doing the most boring tasks like drinking water. He does his taxes btw. Their my only oc who willingly does its taxes.
