#Alex is my favorite himbo husband

[theasnewgroove]

New Year’s Eve

My year already started good after seeing CA’s post. Like I saw the winter outfits and I squeeled out loud. IT’S SO CUTE

like Sam’s beanie?? And his coat? Adorable as hell. I imagine he’d wear those leather-like ones with those fluffy collars.

And Alex oh my god… the boy’s so underdressed for the winter and it’s so him. I first saw him and instantly thought it was a hoodie.. it might be a jacked but STILL.. that’s what inspired making this comic. My boy, at least put on a scarf.

Also Alex, Sam and Sebastian would make a chaotic and hilarious trio and I’m dying on that hill… and dying for more interaction between them.

(Also I may or may not open for art requests.. 👀)

Favorite LGBT+ headcanons for X-Files characters? Mine is that pretty much every main F.B.I. agent(including Krycek) is either bisexual or asexual(or both)! :)

This has been in my inbox for months and I keep forgetting about it I’m so sorry but TODAY IS THE DAY!!!! Happy TDOV Fox and @himbo-mulder (this is my response to your ask too)

LGBTQ X-Files Headcanons Because Someone Asked

Fox Mulder:

Bi and trans icon

The first person he told was Samantha

She accepted him immediately as her big brother and told him he should name himself Fox (it was her favorite animal at the time)

He was going to make his name William Mulder Jr. up until she disappeared, in which he actually decided to make his first name Fox (he misses her 🥺)

Came out to his parents sometime in high school, both took it badly

Bill was hella transphobic—he was already pretty shitty to Mulder but this added a whole new layer to it

Teena was more passive aggressive about it but still made withering comments about how she “lost two daughters now”

Some high school friends (*chants* PHOEBE AND GIMBLE PHOEBE AND GIMBLE) helped Mulder start T and change his legal name on government documents before he left for Oxford

Mulder wanted to go stealth while he was there but came out to Phoebe

When they broke up, she outed him to everyone

Things got so bad that he almost dropped out

Mulder joined the FBI, excited at the prospect of knowing no one and being able to go exclusively by his last name

He was somewhat happy of his solitude in the basement—no one really looked into him past his spooky nature, so no one could find out he was trans

Since Samantha, Scully was the first person who was truly accepting of who he really was

Got top surgery sometime before Colony

Definitely fell in love with Scully right after reading her profile skrjnwkdjwka

Mulder and Krycek were definitely an item for a hot sec until Krycek went evil

Mulder is 500% faithful to Scully but kinda had a crush on Doggett for a little bit

Mulder just wants to be a better dad than Bill 🥺🥺🥺

Mulder helped Byers realize he was trans!!! More on that later though

Dana Scully:

A bi queen

Definitely experimented in college and had a couple girlfriends there and through med school

Ending up breaking up with a girl she was really close with because Scully’s job was just putting too much strain on their relationship

It was really hard on her and made her swear off serious relationships for a long time

She thought Mulder was adorable from the moment she saw him but was really scared of actually developing feelings for him so she pushed it down

And kept pushing it down until she finally realized Mulder was never going to hurt her and actually let him in

I’m just ranting about MSR now oops

100% faithful to Mulder but thought Reyes was super hot

Scully is just a distinguished bi idk what else to say

Walter Skinner:

You can’t adopt THAT MANY LGBT agents if you’re not LGBT yourself, right?

Definitely bisexual

Grew up in a really conservative family and didn’t even consider it an option until he moved out

Skinner was attracted to a lot of guys in his squad in Vietnam but he thought it was just because there were no women around

(Spoiler alert: it wasn’t)

Skinner fell in love with John “Kitten” James and he fell hard

Absolutely did everything possible to protect that man

He was terrified of his feelings though and pushed them down, eventually starting to resent his best friend for making him feel things he couldn’t understand

When Kitten got infected by that gas, Skinner put his values over the man he loved, not just because he thought it was the right thing to do, but because he was terrified that he might be bi

He has regretted it ever since

Married his wife after the war and had a pretty good relationship until he became too consumed with his work

Their breakup was really hard on him and he delved even more into his work

Sometime after Avatar (maybe by season 5 or 6), Skinner meets a really lovely man and that man becomes his boyfriend

It’s really hard at first, but the guy helps Skinner to open up and allow himself to be okay with who he really is

They make time for each other outside of work and are really happy together!

Skinner’s boyfriend is 100% okay with the fact that Skinner has basically adopted all these agents

Skinner is everyone’s dad!!! No exceptions

John Byers:

Trans man!!!!

Discovered it pretty late in life, like he knew earlier but he Repressed it

First person he ever came out to was Mulder (as in my fic 😌)

Lots of internalized transphobia in this man but Mulder and the Lone Gunmen really helped him break out of that

Langly and Frohike obviously went with him to get his first T shot and chanted “MAN JUICE” while it happened (scaring a lot of the nurses)

Met Susanne before he transitioned so seeing her again in Three of a Kind was a little terrifying for him

She accepts him though and is a bi icon herself

Byers wears suits so much because they make him feel really validated

Ringo Langly:

Non-binary and gay!! Langly uses any pronouns (gonna stick to he/him for this list to keep things simple though)

Grew up pretty unaware about gender as a whole, just living his life

Moving away from home to a city was huge for him, he started going to gay bars and really realized that he was gay

Eventually started to experiment with his gender, using different pronouns etc., and found out he was non-binary!

Came out to Frohike shortly after learning Frohike was bi (more on that later)

Goes by Ringo because it’s somewhat gender neutral

He isn’t dysphoric very often but when he is it’s very hard for him to cope, Byers and Frohike are always there to support him and help however possible though

Langly gets way more dates than Frohike and loves to brag about it

Melvin Frohike:

We stan one funky little bi king

HE WAS AT STONEWALL I’LL DIE ON THIS HILL

Frohike had a mega crush on Mulder when he first met him and it persisted all the way until he met Scully

And then when he met Doggett he crushed on him too

Frohike is just kind of a hopeless romantic okay I love him

Absolutely bonds with Scully and they always debate which celebrity is hotter while they get more and more drunk

John Doggett

GAY MAN

Doggett was really repressed for a lot of his life, not because he thought his family would hate him for being gay but mostly because of his environment

(He was a drama kid though)

The military REALLY repressed him and thoroughly fucked him up

It wasn’t until he met Reyes that he started to accept himself more

At first Reyes being a lesbian totally freaked him out and he was really upset, leading to a huge strain on their friendship, but one night he broke down and told her he was pretty sure he was gay

Reyes really helped him through everything, especially his divorce from his wife and the loss of his son

Doggett eventually came out to his dad, who was super accepting

It took Doggett a long time to be comfortable enough to date but he started and met a really great guy, one who he’s now married to

One day he mentioned his boyfriend in passing and the rest of the Spooky Squad totally flipped out because they had no idea he was gay

Doggett just straight-faced “I didn’t think it was relevant?”

Sings musical theater songs in the office when no one else is there

Monica Reyes:

A lesbian

There isn’t a straight bone in her body have you SEEN her???

Absolutely crushed on Scully for the longest time at first, totally backed off when she realized she was involved with Mulder

Total mlm/wlw solidarity with Doggett

Reyes is super comfortable with her sexuality

I’m convinced that she’s married and she and her wife live in the same neighborhood as Doggett and his husband

Running out of brain power at this point but I just love her so much??? Mwah

Alex Krycek:

Gay rat

Everything he did against Mulder and Scully was fueled by spite at his ex-boyfriend Mulder

Daddy issues

Sometimes he breaks into TLG’s base and vibes with them for a few days

Rat (affectionate)

Deep Throat:

Gay :)

Bonus: Melissa Scully is a trans lesbian and Samantha Mulder is bisexual and they’re dating

Summary: The first time it wasn’t Luke’s fault (No, Alex, it wasn’t). They all agreed to eat those hot dogs, it hadn’t anything to do with Luke. Nothing. So when Bobby found them lying on the floor of the studio, it wasn’t even a question asked before he called an ambulance. Alex cursed him the whole way to the ER, the three of them gasping and hugging their stomachs. That was the first mistake. Everything went down from there. OR 5+1 times Luke ended up in Dr Julie Molina's emergency room.

Ship: Juke

A bouquet of flowers? What did you do? (1.144 words), Language: English, Rating: G

Summary: Luke showed up in the ER. Not visibly hurt. At 11PM on a Wednesday. That alone was weird, but the bouquet of flowers in his hands was weirder.

Ship: Juke

The worst patient ever (2.416 words), Language: English, Rating: G

Summary: “I think I caught a cold.” He answered when the cough subsided, his throat feeling like sandpaper. Shit. Julie was going to kill him. “You should get home, get some rest… Get Julie to be your personal doctor.” Bobby intended it as an innuendo, but Luke was feeling so bad it didn’t feel like that. He just wanted his beautiful girlfriend, his doctor girlfriend, to take care of him. OR: the one where Luke's the worst patient ever and everyone knows it.

Ship: Juke

Dirty doctor (2.030 words), Language: English, Rating: E

A baby in the oven (6.679 words), Language: English, Rating: T

Summary: “We are going to be parents, Luke. I have to call my family. Aunt Victoria is going to be so happy. My father is going to be a grandpa. Oh god.” As she talked, her grin grew bigger, and her happiness was almost palpable. “Wait a minute, how did this happen? Aren’t you on the pill?” He asked when the reality of the situation hit him.

Ship: Juke

Midnight cries and early risers (1.250 words), Language: English, Rating: G

Summary: Peanut was crying again. Nobody prepared them for what would be actually having a baby. Peanut wasn't a crier, but it seemed like she always had her worst moments when they were the most tired. Having a two month old baby at home wasn't as funny as they thought. But then they saw her, just existing, and being the cutest baby in the universe, an everything seemed better, the world was brighter in a way.

Ship: Juke

Baby Rose's first Christmas (2.177 words), Language: English, Rating: G

Summary: As soon as Rose was born, she had a bunch of uncles who would do anything to protect her and make her happy. Thinking back on it, Julie shouldn’t be surprised about how many gifts they bought for Rose’s first Christmas, but for some reason, when the boys showed up at their door at seven in the morning carrying more presents than was humanly possible, Julie didn’t know if she should laugh or scold them. She laughed, because they looked absurd with their Santa hats and carrying a bunch of presents wrapped in the most colorful and hideous gift paper Julie could imagine. “It’s seven in the morning.” She told them, unimpressed, the remains of laughter dying with her words.

Ship: Juke, Boggie, Willex

Why is my husband so hot? (1.423 words), Language: English, Rating: M

Looking for a sign (8.026 words), Language: English, Rating: T

Summary: “Alo?” Luke answered, he was clearly confused. The clock marked 3:07 AM. Shit, she didn’t check before making the call. She must had scared him to death. “Hey honey, I need you to come down to the ER.” Julie smiled to herself, Luke sounded sleepy and confused, his voice raspy and soft. Just the way she loved it the most. “But, are you okay? Something happened?” Luke was awake in an instant, clearly agitated. Maybe calling your husband at three in the morning on a week day wasn’t the best idea, indeed. But it was necessary. “Yeah, yeah… Just need you to be here right now. We need to talk.” And she hung up. Bonus chapter: Chapter 2 is Willie and Alex babysitting Rose.

Are you only wearing that? (3.387 words), Language: English, Rating: E

Summary: Reggie decided to work late so they could spend the weekend in their lake house, so when Luke arrived home he only found a note in the refrigerator telling him "Love you, be home late". And that was all right, it wasn’t the first time Reggie worked late. Not by a long shot. Being the CEO of a big law firm was nothing but stressful, and Reggie was always working. But usually he tried to be home when Luke arrived. When Luke found the little post-it he couldn’t contain his disappointment. He was expecting a quiet night with his boyfriend, watching a movie, cuddling, maybe sucking him off when he got bored… But nope. Not tonight.

Ship: Juke

You ruined my panties! (4.020 words), Language: English, Rating: E

Summary: Luke didn’t want to say anything, but damn. “Isn’t your skirt a little too short, Jules?” That wasn’t supposed to sound as stupid as it did. That skirt was tempting him beyond compare and his brain was malfunctioning. His brain always malfunctioned a bit around her. Fuck. Alex was not amused by that. “Oh, come on dude, what are you? A prude?” Well, that was fair. His comment was shitty and he knew it. OR: Julie teases Luke with her new outfit during rehearsal, and Luke can only punish her for it. In a sexy way.

Ship: Juke

Meetings and distractions (3.469 words), Language: English, Rating: E

The table was against the right wall, so the angle of the laptop showed just a blank wall behind Caleb, and left him looking straight to the sofa, where Reggie was ready to play. He sat down, looking at Caleb, a little smile playing on his lips. Caleb was trying (and failing) to look at the screen where someone was explaining something about sales and improvement of tools. Reggie didn’t care. What he cared about was that Caleb’s mic was silenced, so he could be as loud as he could, and Caleb would just have to listen and watch him, but he couldn’t do anything about it.

He looked conflicted, like if he was fighting with himself over something. “Want… Do you want me to help?” Reggie’s brain stopped working. That couldn’t be happening. Reggie couldn’t be living in a porno. That wasn’t something it happened in real life. But apparently it was. OR: Ray finds Reggie trying to finger himself and helps him.

Ship: Reggie/Ray

Tattoos, miscommunication and a bratty sub (5.134 words), Language: English, Rating: E

Summary: But Luke didn’t have another choice but to obey. He sat down in front of Reggie to eat his cereal and he winced a little when his fresh tattoo made contact against the chair. He got a tattoo on his inner thigh, so high up that it was almost gracing his balls, but it looked hella sexy. He was sure Reggie was going to love it. At least Luke hoped he would. But sitting down made skin around the tattoo feel raw and tense. He was lucky that Reggie arrived late last night. He didn’t have to hide it then. But he would have to hid it for the next three days. He prayed that Reggie didn’t notice his little movement, but he did. He always noticed everything when Luke was related, hyperaware of all of it. His face changed instantly, from the little smile he reserved for Luke to a full concerned glance, ready to fight the chair if that was what it took to make Luke feel better. OR: Luke gets a tattoo for their anniversary and tries to hide it. It goes wrong. And then really well.

Ship: Ruke/Peterpatter

Let me choke (6.107 words), Language: English, Rating: E

Summary: “It’s my first tattoo!” Luke added, cursing himself for sounding so stupid today. For fuck’s sake. He wished he could zip his mouth shut sometimes. “Right on my thigh!” Reggie took the paper and unfold it, looking at it intensely. He smiled a little, but it was followed with the biggest frown. “Man… Are you sure this is the one you want? This is really big to be your first.” Reggie said, not even realizing the double meaning of its sentence. Luke giggled a little, feeling a bit ashamed about it, but blurting out: “That’s what he said…” Reggie laughed really hard at that. Luke felt himself blushing, his cheeks feeling hot for a second. Why did he say that?

Life for Alex didn’t work as easy as fanfics did. The universe decided that soulmates had to touch each other to find out.

Summary: He was working against the clock, and Luke should be home in less than thirty minutes. That’s when Reggie started to work on the lights. He put them all over the tree, and some of them on the walls with some sticky thing Julie recommended. It was looking great, amazing even. Reggie couldn’t be more happy. His main idea was to turn all the lights off and turn them on when Luke entered, but he knew better than to let that to the universe, so he decided to try the lights first. And that obviously turned out awful. OR: The one where Reggie tries to do something nice for Christmas and turns out awful... or does it?

4 & 14 for the JtVS verse 😊

4. What's your favorite line of dialogue?

I remain very fond of this, but I also love... basically all of A True Himbo Scholar’s dialogue. Particularly:

Luke sighs. “Nah, Mohra demons are more... assassins for the forces of darkness. Like, if an agent of good is getting majorly in the way, the Mohra are sent to get rid of you. So it’s a compliment to us, really.”

Alex groans as he touches the fresh bandage on his face. “I was really okay without the compliment.”

Sliding onto the couch next to Alex, Willie snuggles up to his husband. “You love compliments.”

“Call me old fashioned, but I like my compliments to come in the form of words and kisses, not murder.”

Reggie puts an offended hand to his chest and turns to Luke for support. “Do you hear this? Alex thinks he’s too good to be murdered.”

“Insensitive, dude.”

I’m just very fond of my undead disaster children joking about their untimely deaths.

14. Is there anything you wanted readers to learn from reading this fic?

If all people get from it is “Ooh, Buffy sounds like a cool show, maybe I’ll watch that,” then I’m happy.

But one of the things I personally enjoy about the verse is that there’s a lot of angst, but there’s always a happy ending. As someone who feels very pessimistic about a lot of stuff (especially right now), there’s something very important to me about this idea that we don’t know what the future holds, and we know it might hurt, but we can find joy in the present and try to enjoy it regardless.

There’s a line in You'll Understand When You Come My Way: “I won’t waste any more of my life denying myself the moments I could have had with him because I’m scared of the moments I won’t get.” I don’t think that’s a mindset that I’ve internalized as much as I’d like to, but I hope that’s something I can learn from those fics, and hopefully it’s something that resonates with other people as well.

Did Kai have any sort of family after losing her foster family and becoming the Demon King? Or did she only have her husband?

Yes actually!!! A lot of Kai’s own story involves her own found family collection (i say collection just. cuz she tends to outlive them)

I’ve briefly mentioned she has a few kids and you see them in one of my sketchbook tours

but she also has a group of friends who she was close to

and the opening chapter of one of her ‘stories’ involves her dealing with the loss of a close friend she considered family (she even tried to go through legal means to see him but when humans turned around and said fuck you she snuck in. I can actually post this writing if people wanna read it?)

She also has some of her adoptive family still alive tho the bloodline is thinner. The Hellsing family she was raised in still exists to a point in her story (before the great catastrophe at least) Her whole ‘became the demon king’ thing happened when her uncle attacked her but she was able to get her sister in law and unborn nephew to escape while she distracted the rest (i have a whole ass animatic planned for this to the song “monster” from frozen’s musical. someday. someday I’ll be able to sit down on it weep)

This nephew was the one who hired Ren to help find “the king of fear” as she was known at that point. Alex is a good boy. His son was the one who went to find his great aunt after Ren’s death and she fully became a fallen god and offered her a place to stay and just. try to relax. She ended up falling into a deep sleep for a while and his family was the ones to build the ‘tomb’ she normally rests in when ever she has these extreme ‘low energy’ periods which can last between 5 years to her longest one was 5000. Typically she’ll rest for between 20-50 years at a time. and there’s a legit reason she does this too. But that’s not about family---

Point is that family is still very fond of their matriarchal demoness and she helped them found “Prometheus” a group to help humans deal with monsters and monsters live in peace. (cuz boy howdy do people have trigger fingers) there are other groups in their world with either similar goals or ones to ‘suppress’ monsters (example: The Order is a group who sees monsters as tools and lesser beings. sometimes Prometheus is forced to work with them and normally they send strong demons or dragons and such so that The Order can’t do anything to their operative. it was on one of these collaborations that Kai kidnapped Booberry from them. she regrets nothing.)

Kai often just refers to the current descendant as just “her nephew” as she’s too lazy to shove the amount of “great” in front of it because she’s old. there’s only one case of a niece and that’s where the bloodline ended (again that’s another story all together)

When Kai woke up after the Great Catastrophe alone she ended up meeting a young man named Leo (who if you look in Kai’s tag on my blog you can see him!) Who she bonded with and she likes hanging out with (and there’s other things but I’m not gonna talk about it)

There’s also her ‘generals’ and a few of them are gonna show in TLC soon (just a brief cameo) A group of 4 who’ve met Kai in a few incarnations and they always tend to get along. Original names were Matt, Trisha, Faith, and Maki is Maki (she’s an elf so she lives longer) Current names are Byron, Tiffny, Jacob and Maki. These four actually form Ren’s party when he’s trying to find his wife at the actual start of “Nightmare’s Dream” and you learn they each have a connection to Kai through the story.

Matt/Branden/Byron; he’s featured in the writing I mentioned up top, he’s kinda similar to Leo in the way he interacts with Kai as an almost human morality pet for Kai. He used to be Kai’s student when she was teaching, and his father was the warden at the jail her friend Sammy was in (this is the friend she lost) Matt can see through her disguise when she’s showcasing nightmares. Kai can cause hallucinations on targets using her ‘fear’ hence her title “king of fear” and normally they are only visible to her and her target. But Matt can see them.

He ends up getting in trouble a few times; once with a tribe of demons who want to turn children into imps, once with the literal Anti christ, once with a haunted house. And each time Kai was there and ends up saving him.

Matt later is in an accident and ends up reincarnating as a winged human named Branden and has all his past memories. So when he starts working at Prometheus as one of their ‘informants’ (aka he goes to gather information in both human and supernatural affairs. he’s referred to often as the angel of trust because of his silver tongue) and he meets her again he shouts something from one of his classes with her causing her to snap back on reflex until she realizes (running joke is Kai loathes Julius Ceaser and if you say his name she always whips around shouting “WAS A SLUT AND A HARLOT” in a very aggressive tone. It makes people laugh when she does and she always gets embarrassed afterwards)

The two of them end up working together for a while and become good friends (and maybe a bit more but they never state really) but then when with his new work partner Trisha (nicknamed angel of death, she works in the sector that deals with cleanup) he ends up betraying Prometheus and Trisha rips his wings off and kills him (this is the context between the ‘redraw’ meme I do every few years of a man with a bleeding back drowning)

Trisha is also someone who grew close to Kai (hence she killed Branden because his folly led to Kai nearly going berserk) but she was killed by a sleeper agent from the order. And this is how Kai lost two of her close friends.

Now backing up to Sammy the inmate one; he was with her when Kai met her first child, the young moon goddess Artemis. Arty is a constant for the demoness ever since she picked her up in the woods (her arc also has one of my favorite kai lines: (which i can’t find the direct line but)

Sam shuddered as he looked around the woods, “Do you ever feel like there’s 100 eyes watching you?”

“Yes but it didn’t work out so we broke up.” The demon responded flatly as she looked around with a deep set scowl.

While she was out with Sammy when he was hunting they ended up finding a little girl who turned out to be a new goddess and her elder sister was kidnapped by the embodiment of Greed in his attempt to become a god. Kai ends up stopping this but also kinda ends up becoming Arty’s mom. While she doesn’t raised Arty fully she does do a lot of teaching and such for her and does refer to her as “her daughter” and Arty calls her mom. when the great catastrophe occurs, Arty is one of the few gods who remained when the rest went to new ‘realms’ or simply vanished and is considered one of the main gods of their world because of this.

And then there’s her son Ganon, an Orc Lord she adopted when his village was ruined. he currently poses as her ‘demon king’ while she pretends to be the chancellor (this is the ruse she uses. normally heroes will fight the ‘king’ and lose but if they actually are a threat or have poor reasoning she kills them from behind. this is also how the story starts as someone found a spell to try and incapacitate her buttt)

There’s also morte and her daughter demeter (I’ve shown them before, a set of necromancers) who she’s very friendly with. Demeter even calls her aunty Kaya and loves to sit on her lap and such during meetings. (i have one snippet when Kai was recruiting someone to their side but hadn’t told her yet she was the REAL demon king and Demeter was sitting on her lap laughing) Morte is thankful to Kai for saving her circus (Morte runs a circus that helps those stuck in limbo pass on but at one point demons of sin over took it in a way to gather souls)

There’s also her friend Ciera, the daughter of the girm reaper. she’s Kai’s best friend for the most part of her life, and is the one who helps Ren when the gods of life and death try to prevent him from reincarnating again (which is like other things a whole other story) (she also briefly shows in Bone Stealer at one point. While visiting bunny’s sick grandmother, Bunny and Steve run into Ciera as she’s leaving. Steve stops Bunny from attacking her) She’s over all chill.

There’s also Nicki. Kai’s ‘twin’ brother. He’s the ‘bad guy’ through the arc that contains Leo and sets up ‘the great Split’ that Kai will cause (this is lore/plot stuff) He originally was raised to hate her by their maternal Uncle who’s a arch mage like Ren however he’s fallen due to his hatred of Kai’s birth. Nicki is not really her brother (in the first life) but a failed clone of the demoness. When Kai is reborn Nicki gets to actually be her brother and the two get along really well and he’s very protective of his sister now that he understands what her actual deal is and not the bs his uncle fed him. Before the rebirth too Nicki helped kai solve some stuff and worked with her until his death (unlike her, he was not immortal)

And then Kai actually has two bio children with Ren! Akito her son takes after her and he’s the one who takes over her role as the true demon king of Tir-Na-Nocht so she’s able to die and try life again, and a daughter, Rei who takes after Ren in looks but... she’s a himbo. pure moron. she got her grandpa’s himbo gene strong. She’s a cat girl who works with her brother and she is the head of the guard.

Aki actually has his own story where he grew up in a ‘mundane’ world but then his entire class got ‘isekaid’ to another. it gets shown that this isn’t truly the case. the great ‘split’ mentioned above was Kai literally broke the world in two realms. She made one primarily humans and high tech and then the other was magic and mostly monsters. there are a mix of both but it cut down heavily on the murder. She raised Aki in the human side for his and Rei’s safety due to them being the children of a fallen god (mama worries) and Aki inherited his mother’s odd ‘status’ “Hero/Demon King”  so he has to not expose his demon nature and also stay below the radar (it turns out the person who summoned them was attempting to break a centuries old treaty) until his mother and father can figure out what happened to him (thankfully he can go to a church and his older sister Arty can act as a messenger but there’s a bit of a time split in the worlds) That world is actually the one “Fae Rules” takes place in o7o.

She also is friends with a dead prince named “Shade” (yes this is who you think it is) as well as her ‘cousin’ Sena (who she loves to give shit to)

And in her second life she obvs has her brother, cousins, her father (her father’s boyfriend/her manny), aunt’s etc!!!

So yes; she had family other than her husband!!!! And she cherishes them all.

I would love to hear your true passionate feelings on dear ol Alex from Stardew valley.

a single ask meme is not enough to encompass all my thoughts and feelings about alexander joshua mullner but its cute that u think it could

favorite thing about them: everythingleast favorite thing about them: concernedape’s writing can be less than stellar sometimes. also his taste in food is garbage like what did he mention in the 8 heart cutscene??? salted beet sandwiches or whatever the fuck??? bro is ur tongue okfavorite line: ykno in the 8 heart cutscene when u basically say “if ur ever lonely im here for u” and alex gets all flustered like “ur not like other guys…. ur more sensitive,,,,, im glad” that that that hes so cute,,,,, also his 10 heart cutscene in its entirety. hes precious.brOTP: i love haley as having like a sibling dynamic w alex but like honestly? a band trio and alex friendship would probably be really funny and good. imagine seb trying to explain dnd to him and him not really getting it but trying his best. sam trying to engage in any kind of sportball and breaking a window. abby and alex being stupidly competitive w eachother. theyd level the goddamn town itd be greatOTP: me x alex fuck u thats my husband motherfuckernOTP: shane/alex or penny/alex probably. dont like haley/alex either. they all leave bad tastes in my mouth and i genuinely dont think shane penny or haley would be Actually very compatible w alex yknorandom headcanon: when alex first moved in w his grandparents dusty was allowed in the house but after tracking mud everywhere and probably breaking a vase george had a pen and an old crate set up so dusty could stay outside. alex was incredibly upset abt thisunpopular opinion: alex’s story arc is more interesting than shane’s. like not to pit two Kings™ against eachother or w/e but like. shane’s story is pretty bare bones and bland to me even with the admittedly depressing and concerning themes of depression and suicidal ideation, while alex seems like a more realistic and interesting arc from being a rude self absorbed jock to a sympathetic and deep down pretty sweet himbo, even with the aforementioned mild to moderate writing problemssong i associate with them: i refuse to reveal my shit music taste to the worldfavorite picture of them: all of them. every picture of alex is a good picture. his blushing portrait in particular is extremely cute tho

Stardew momence :]

Also, I’m adding some of my favorite bits of the video onto the end of this post because I can. Anyways!

I’ve had the game for almost six days so here’s my stats:

Level five farming

Level four mining

Level five foraging

Level nine fishing

Level two combat

and my hearts with people are:

14 with Alex

10 with Abby

9 with Evelyn

8 with Haley

8 with Sebastian

8 with Robin

7 with Leah

7 with Demetrius

6 with Sam

6 with George

4 with Harvey

3 with Gus

1 with Emily

1 with Penny

and some of my favorite lines from the video I can’t post: (talking about Alex) “he’s a himbo but I love him” (after rambling about living on the farm with aforementioned himbo) “This video is just Tommy malewife moments I guess”

plus I joked at the beginning like y’all were tuning into a talk show and not just watching me infodump

Also, some of the info I can extract from the video: Currently we have two chickens, one cow and one dog! I rambled a lot about fishing so in summary I just think fishing is fun and I go pretty often if not daily

I’m going to put some screenshots from the video here as well, but like half of them are just me smiling because my candid smile is actually kinda nice (wearing pajamas and sitting on my bed because my chronic pain was making it so I couldn’t stand up for more than like a minute)

This one is me making my joke at the beginning (what you’re seeing is the end of the sign for hour)

This one is me mentioning that I had married Alex (that’s part of the sign husband - which on its own means marry/married)

and uh. here’s me realizing that it’s past 1 am and I shouldn’t be recording right now

and this final one isn’t really one I planned to add, but someone in the system says my thinking face is cute so I’m posting it for them (I’m partway through signing “anything” here as I was sorta signing to myself “anything else...?” while I was thinking)
