#I do TRY to match the other person's/group's energy in a conversation but then I worry that it's distracting and I have to make myself

[anonprotagging]

maybe it shouldn’t be but I think it’s SO DANG FUNNY that I’m a trans man when I have THE highest soprano-1, valley-girl-constantly-question-mark-sounding voice of all time, AND an enormous excess of energy (nervous or otherwise) that makes me move my hands around like I’m trying to fight off a swarm of wasps

because like, aside from my hips, I look pretty androgynous, but then I try to communicate with someone and it ends up being like

[catscidr]

It’s not like you didn’t want to be here, stuck between two very rowdy students cheering for their friends, because you were in the bleachers for the same reason anyways; to cheer on your own friend! But you’d prefer doing it without the constant shouts coming from the other students. 

Previously, Tartaglia had insisted (read: begged) that you come watch his soccer matches, even if some were just for practice. I play better when I know you’re in the stands, he said earlier before he left you to your own thoughts, walking away to change into his uniform. It had been maybe half an hour since then and yet you couldn’t shake the conversation from your head, not when he kept meeting your gaze from the soccer field, flashing you a bright smile as he ran for the ball.

Your relationship with the redhead was a confusing one. As one of the popular students, Tartaglia naturally always had his own group of (equally popular) friends around him but, recently, he’s been hanging out with you more often. Saying something along the lines of him needing to take after you to mellow out his loud personality in comparison to your introverted one. You’d argue that it wasn’t necessary, that his energy was one of the things that drew you to him ; and as much as he likes to come up with excuses to hang out with you without you bolting in the opposite direction, you know you’ll always fall for his boyish charm, no matter how shitty his excuse is. 

The sudden sound of shouts pulls you from your thoughts, a surprised yelp leaving your lips. Focusing your attention back on the field you watch as your friend gets engulfed by a group hug, the team cheering loudly- seems like in your daydream he managed to score a goal. The two guys next to you were standing up, cheering for them enthusiastically. 

Overwhelmed by the sheer energy radiating from them, you focus your attention back on Tartaglia. He meets your eyes, his smile widening even further if it were possible, and waves at you energetically. You wave back sheepishly, cheeks flushed. 

✧✧✧ 

“I told you I play better when you’re watching!” Tartaglia says with a teasing grin, lightly pushing your shoulder. You make a noise of surprise, covering it up with a cough as you raise your fist up to your mouth to hide your bashful expression. Whether he noticed the way you stiffened at his touch or not, he does a good job not showing it. “Did a whole hat trick thanks to you. Well, the soccer equivalent of it at least...” he continues sheepishly, mindlessly fiddling with the strap of his bag slung over his shoulder. 

“How does that even work, anyways? Usually, people feel more pressure when there’s a crowd watching them...” you argue quietly, matching his long strides as you walked together along campus to go back to the gym changing rooms. Most people that came to watch the match had already left, however you and Tartaglia had been stuck behind due to him getting stopped by friends and acquaintances. Which worked in your favor since you disliked dealing with large crowds. 

“Eh, I don’t care about other people. All I care about is having your pretty eyes on me,” he says with a wink. 

Your legs stop abruptly, a flush decorating your cheeks, gaze never leaving the floor as you try to get your heart to calm down. How can he say something like that so casually? Is he messing with you because he has ulterior motives or is he- 

“Heyheyhey, you doing alright over there? I didn’t break you, did I?” You hear Tartaglia calling your name, waving his hand in front of your face with a lighthearted chuckle. Pulling yourself out of your frozen state, you look up at the playful expression your friend wore, cheeks puffing out as you find yourself lacking a comeback. He notices your sullen frown and places a hand on your head, ruffling your hair playfully. 

“Oh come on, don’t sulk now!” the redhead whines, “that was tame. You and I both know I’m capable of saying much worse than that,” he declares confidently, deep blue eyes looking down at you with a playful grin. A grin that seemed to never leave his face, much to your displeasure- how were you supposed to pull yourself together when he looked like the human incarnation of the sun? 

“Don’t,” you mumble quietly, picking up the pace with your head hanging low, physically unable to face him anymore. Sure, you didn’t have the biggest group of friends and went out less than most people, but you were convinced he was shamelessly flirting with you. Why else would he be so close to you, relentlessly teasing you like this? Oh god, what if he’s like this with everyone? Maybe this is how he jokes around with his friends... Wait, speaking of Tartaglia, where did he- 

You bump into a hard surface. Opening your eyes, you’re met with a damp soccer tee, glistening muscles and freckled skin. Tilting your head up slowly, you’re met with your crush-friend-classmate-guy looking at you with raised brows and quirked up lips. He places one hand on his hip, observing your beet red face with glee. 

“I didn’t even do anything this time, princess. Everything okay?” the redhead asks with an airy chuckle. Oh god, you thought. Wish I walked into a wall instead. 

“Y-Yeah. Uh huh. Everything’s just peachy,” you respond with a thumbs up, the corners of your lips curling up into what you thought was a reassuring smile but seemed more like a nervous grimace to the soccer player. He didn’t buy your excuse. Instead of leaving it as it is, Tartaglia brings a hand up to his chin and looks up, dramatically faking a thought process. 

“Hmm... I wonder what you could have been so distracted by? Was it my arms? My charms? Or was it-” 

“Your body odor. You reek of sweat, go shower,” you squeak out, face burning as you scurry away from the source of your (delicious) torment, your heart running a marathon beneath your ribcage all the while Tartaglia laughs loudly in the hallway, speedwalking to catch up to you.

[blair-the-juggalho]

Hello!! I absolutely love your TWDG writing. And I have been having a bad day bc my tooth broke and I'm stressed -_-

Could you possibly make a "TWDG S4 characters when a bubbly Y/N is upset/sad"? ^_^

Hey yeah ofc! And I’m so sorry I hope your day gets better lovely :(

Also I did this as platonic lmk if ya want me to redo it idm! 😭

Another sorry if there’s any spelling mistakes it’s half three am and I’m tired

Also side note, sorry I’ve been like gone a lot of stuff happened and I lost intrest in the game but it’s kinda coming back I’m just getting use to writing again so if this sucks I’m SO SORRY 😭😭😭💖💖💖

TWDG S4 characters when a bubbly Y/N is sad

Violet

She’d find you a bit strange and would tease you but in honesty she loves how bubbly you are

Whenever life gets her down all she has to do is spend some time around you and she feels better

She notices instantly when you’re upset tho and will give it a few minutes before coming up to you

“Hey. What’s up? Why are you all depressed?”

But fr tho that’s her job 😞 LMAO SORRY

But you’ll open up to her and she silently nods along

Whatever it is she gets it

“Yeah…it sucks sometimes…”

She won’t say much but she offers to go somewhere more private so you two can chill and just complain to each other

She’s not all that good at comfort but she’d really try

When your back to normal she’d have a small smile on her face

“Ya happy again now?”

She’d be a bit upset if you’d want to go right back to being around everyone else but she’d join you anyway cuz she’s just happy to see you smile again

Mitch

He doesn’t really get it I mean how can anyone be happy living like this? I mean sure it’s manageable at times but it still sucks

He’d never on his life say it but he does secretly enjoy how happy you are even if he’d tease you for it

When he sees you upset tho I’m so sorry but this man is useless here

He doesn’t notice at first but after Willy or someone points it out he picks up on it and worries a bit

However he just hopes you cheer up on your own and doesn’t say anything

But he does watch out for you in the corner of his eye

He just assumes if it’s really bad you’ll come to him

Cuz he won’t come to you unless your both alone

When you do tell him what’s up he’s still not very helpful

“Damn…that sucks..”

He does care he’s just rubbish at showing it

He will let you stay with him but be warned you’ll both be sat in silence if you’re not in a talking mood

But when you do cheer up he’s relived

again, not that he’d voice it

“Happy again huh?”

Marlon

Marlon finds you to be a breath of fresh air, he always has a gentle smile on his face when your around

He’s happy that you can bring the others up too cuz a happy group is a good group yk

Plus you keep him calm too

So when he sees his usual happy friend down in the dumps he’s very confused

What happened to you?

He watches you for a bit then walks over to you and asks if you’re ok and if ya wanna talk

Hell take you up to the office and will listen to you explain why your upset

He listens and offers some advice and comfort

He’ll let you stay with him for a bit and if you like dogs yk he’ll get rosy to give you some comfort hugs and all

He just has normal conversations with you and will say that he hopes you cheer up soon cuz what would they all do without your positive ways

When you cheer up he’ll have a big smile and if your ok with it he’ll pull you in for a hug and definitely does that back pat and rub (yk the that you do to a friend or family to either be like heyy! Or ok that’s enough now)

Louis

HELLO YOUR BASICALLY THE ONLY OTHER PERSON THEIR WHO CAN MATCH HIS ENERGY

Like he needs to see you all happy and lively because that makes him more happy and lively too!

And this mf he instantly knows when you’re down and he will come up to you and just say “aww what’s wrong (name)? You gotta turn that frown upside down!” He might even pull an over the top sad face too

Depending on what kinda person you are this either kind of works or makes it so much worse

If he does realise that he’s not helping he panics a bit like

“Oh no- they really are sad…what do I doooooo?? This is badddd…”

He’s not all that good in serious situations and will try healing you with comedy and laughter

He’ll tell jokes, tease the others at Ericsson’s

Anything to cheer you up

Heaven forbid the moment you actually do cuz this mans energy is amplified by 100

“is that a smile I see?? So mx grumpy finally cheered up? Ha well it seems I’m just the best at curing sadness.” He acts all cocky but he’s just joking

He’s very pleased to see ya back to your regular self again

Aasim

Aasim always found it curious how someone so happy could exist in a world like this

But he’d be lying if he said he didn’t like it

He can’t match your energy but he does support your cheerful ways

He won’t voice it but you do cheer him up when he’s having a bad day

he notices when you’re upset very quickly n all it’s very obvious lmao

He’ll give it a few minutes but after a while he’ll cave and awkwardly walk over to you

“So…you ok? You seem upset…”

You tell him what’s up and he listens

He either gives you advice or will empathise with you saying he gets it

He just kinda silently sits next to you cuz he doesn’t really know what to say

You both just kinda sit around for a while

he won’t really offer it out loud but he doesn’t mind giving you a hug if it will cheer you up

He just waits for you to feel better and is thankful when you do

(Sorry but damn this man I just can’t imagine he’d be much help here that sounds horrible Ik ik 😞)

Omar

This man is grateful that you’re the way you are even if he doesn’t voice it a lot

He’s also a silent observer so when he saw you where upset he just quietly watched you

I think he either doubts how good he is at comforting or he’s too preoccupied but he’ll still watch you for you

He’s kinda hoping it’s just a off day and you’ll perk up again in a while

He waits to see if anyone else will check up on you or if you’ll come to him

But if enough time has passed and both of those didn’t happen he’ll slowly make his way over to you

He doesn’t say much but he listens to you

The few times he does speak it’s either reassurance or advice

He will stay with you for as long as he can and if he had to start cooking again he’d let you stand next to him while he does so

When you cheer up again he wont say much but he has a smile on his face

Ruby

Ruby fully appreciates your bubbly ways and she will usually match your energy when she can

She really thinks you totally brighten up Ericssons!

But today you were acting totally different and she could just sense it

Like there was a shift in the air she just picked up on before she even saw you

Since she gives me like mother friend vibes she totally instantly goes over to ya

Are you ok hun? Ya seem down? What’s happened? Do ya need some space?

She’s there and she will listen to ya 100%

She does whatever she can to be supportive and she might tell a few rubbish puns to make you smile again

She’ll get all protective of ya too like if anyone tries to annoy ya (which I doubt anyone would but yk just incase) she will get so mad at them she’s shout at them and scold them so much

She’ll either stay by you till you cheer up or will give you the space if you need it but the moment she sees that smile she loves so much and that cheery personality she adores she’s matching that happy face

Brody

This girl loves how bubbly you are it’s such a nice change of pace from the usually rubbish day to day apocalypse life

You don’t know how much you can cheer her up and make her feel more relaxed

So she was super quick to notice that you where sad

Huh that’s (name), why arn’t they all happy?? Where’s that lovely smile gone??

I don’t think she’d straight away ask if you where ok cuz maybe you needed some space? I mean it’s normal to get upset now a days but this isn’t like you

She’d ask the others like Marlon if they noticed that you’ve done a total 180

She’d still stay put but keeps a close eye on you and after a few minutes of watching you mope around she’d walk up to you and ask if you where ok

After you tell her what’s got ya so bummed out she’d do anything to get that smile back

She’d listen to you, give you advice if you wanted it, she’d give you a hug literally anything!

She’d also try to distract you by planning some made up road trip (a beach trip if I remember correctly??)

She needs to see her friend go back to their bubbly self 😞

Once you do cheer up she just sighs in relief man she’s happy you’re back to normal lmao

[sleepingdeath-light]

Hello, by any chance can I request the hexside squad (luz,hunter, amity, and willow) poly couple headcanons, human reader

Poly Headcanons | Amity, Hunter, Luz & Willow

thank you for requesting, anon!

reader is assumed as being gender neutral

note : hunter and amity are only metamours in this (i think she’s canonically a lesbian, hence this decision), everyone else is dating

i could summarise this polycule very succinctly with the words “good luck having any personal space” — but i’ll be nice and elaborate a bit more

congrats on your 3 badass girlfriends and your anxious overly protective boyfriend — hope you don’t miss sticking up for yourself too much

amity and luz are your biggest cheerleaders in everything you do whilst hunter and willow are always nearby to catch you if you fail and help you be the best you can be

luz is the only one who understands the references you make (being human and all) so there will be times where you’ll have to sit the others down and explain things very thoroughly

willow gets into cooking and food prep because of her passion for plant magic and will bring new dishes for you all to try on date nights

hunter is very protective and insists on training with everyone to make sure you’re all prepared for anything and everything that might get thrown at you

amity is always something of a voice of reason and will help you keep on track with what you need to focus on — be that training or assignments or something else entirely

group sleepovers at eda’s place are a must and happen a minimum of once per week — with sleeping arrangements usually changing from night to night

sometimes it’s : you, hunter, willow, luz amity

other times it’s : hunter, luz, you, amity, willow

but no matter the position you’ll be throughly smothered with cuddles and affection by the end of it

amity and hunter are the best metamours one could hope for and, being the most prepared and rational of you all, are usually the ones scheduling dates and training and such — whilst making sure to train each other just as much (like best mates with a history of violence)

the most to least affectionate duos when together are: (most) luz & amity -> luz & willow -> luz & you -> willow & you -> willow & amity -> willow & hunter -> hunter & you -> hunter & luz -> hunter & amity (least / completely platonic)

hunter is both touch starved and incredibly unused to casual affection, hence him being on the least affectionate side in general

luz is massively pro-pda and will smother everyone she can with all the hugs and kisses she can get away with

amity tends to be quite reluctant with pda and affection because she’s prone to being really flustered but she’s open to being reciprocal if you/willow/luz initiate it

willow is more mild with affection but still gives it freely because she grew up with it being a normal part of relationships

you have all at some point given hunter a spa day complete with manicures, face masks and more because the poor thing is a walking ball of nervous energy

the girls (amity and willow mainly) will paint all of your nails — luz helps with this but she can be very clumsy with the brush and ends up covering your hands with nail polish

you all end up sharing and swapping clothes at some point

matching outfits? matching outfits!

otter, cat, bird, bee and your animal of choice onesies

luz gives everyone silly nicknames (which you only pretend to hate)

willow has kicked several people’s asses for messing with her partners — which was only shocking the first three times

your penstagram chat is complete chaos with like twenty chats going on simultaneously

you, luz and willow have a competition to see who can fluster hunter/make him go red the fastest — mediated by amity, of course — which hunter is unaware of

your penstagram group chat is absolute chaos — like there are twenty different conversations happening at the same time

[silly-sirenz]

I saw my friend do this so I was wondering if I could get matched with a Hazbin Hotel character too 🥺

• My pronouns are she/her

• I am straight

• I’d say I can be sort of shy with groups of people, but once I’m in a one-on-one conversation with someone I am fun and energetic. I always try to make people laugh, and I always have a lot going on in my mind, so I tend to talk a lot. I also get very anxious, so I tend to overthink things a lot and I often ask for reassurance that I’m not being annoying and stuff. I am also protective of the people I care about. Overall I just love to have a fun time and make people happy 👍

• I. LOVE. MUSIC!! As in I am constantly singing all the time. There’s a song stuck in my head? I am belting it out loud when I’m by myself. In public I will just hum it though. I also play the violin 🎻. I am also a HUGE anime nerd, it’s like the only thing I watch. I am a purple belt in judo (a martial art, like Ju Jitsu). I love reading as well, I have so many books it’s basically a collection at this point.

• I am a Virgo

• I love puns hehe

Thank you so much!!!! 🩷🩵

Thank you for asking . I might have got a bit carried away with this one, but i hope you enjoy 🖤

I would match you up with...

🐤LUCIFER🐤

● The Hotel can get quite overwhelming at times. So often, you will spend your evenings playing violin by the balcony.

● It's a way for you to de-stress from the crowds of loud personalities downstairs, and you find it rather relaxing until one night where you catch a snake moving towards you from out of the corner of you eye.

"Not bad, kid."

● You shriek and jump back, causing him to chuckle.

● Lucifer didn't realise that there was another violinist in the hotel, and he asks to listen to you play some more.

●Nervously, you oblige. Not wanting to mess up in front of the King of Hell.

●However, as he listens, you notice a relaxed smile upon his face. He seems to be enjoying it, even though in your opinion you're far from perfect.

●He sees that you're still overthinking and proposes an idea.

"It's been too long since I've had a violin playing companion. Why don't you come over to the Palace every now and then? I'd love to tutor you."

● And so over the next few weeks, you play together and occasionally sing as well in the Palace library. It's huge and quiet and has all the music you could possibly need. He even lets you borrow books and sheet music between visits.

● It's nice spending one on one time with Lucifer. You can really discuss your shared passions with a lot of excitement, and he has no problem matching your enthusiastic energy.

●And sometimes (as long as you don't have any other plans, obviously), he lets you stay around longer to share some tea and freshly made royal pastries.

● The formalities drop between you, and you become close friends, who giggle at inside jokes and stolen glances.

● A few months later, he is helping you learn a very complex Paganini piece. However, the more you practice, the harder it seems to become.

● You groan with frustration.

● He asks you to put down your instrument and then takes a hold of your hands.

"I think I know what the problem is."

"Oh?"

You find yourself subconsciously stepping closer as his thumbs stroke over your knuckles.

"There's too much..." he tries to find the right word, "tension."

With uncharacteristic timidity, you look up, meeting his unwavering gaze.

"Is there anything we can do?" You ask, in a hushed tone, feeling a new sensation of the temperature rising.

Inching closer, he suggests, "Perhaps..."

● He jumps back when he is interrupted by a servant bursting into the room. There's an urgent meeting he has to attend.

● He sighs, almost turning back to say something to you. But he decides against it, storming off and leaving you in stunned silence.

● You lie on your bed back in the Hotel that night, replaying the events of the afternoon in your head, overthinking into oblivion. Perhaps it was guilt? Perhaps excitement? Maybe you had made the whole thing up.

●You jump when there's a knock at your window. Lucifer has turned himself into a bird and he taps once more on the glass with his beak.

●He reverts into his more familiar humanoid form once inside and after a moment of silence he begins to apologise for his behaviour that afternoon. The lack of boundaries, the rudeness of his departure.

●You are glad to accept his apology and forgive everything until he says,

"I don't think you should come back to the Palace anymore. It's nothing against you, I promise. I'm just too... tempted. And I dont know how you feel, but it wouldn't be right to jeopardise our friendship like that. I hope you understand -"

● Something hits you then. You stride over to him and take his uncertain face in you hands. You kiss him passionately, waiting for him to pull you closer before moving back, whispering against his lips.

"Next time you're not sure," you breathe, "just ask."

"Okay." He smiles before dipping you down, causing you to gasp.

"Now my love, let's try this again..."

● He is ever the gentleman in your relationship. Always polite, suave and loving.

●He's your biggest cheerleader, supporting your interests, admiring your physical strength and mental resilience.

●He often creates trinkets for you. Sometimes jewellery, sometimes little ornamental pairs of ducks...

●He's even written a song for you to boost you up on those days when you're not feeling your best and you need reassurance.

● Your senses of humour only grow as the relationship does, and you often leave little notes with puns on for each other to find.

●Eventually, when Charlie finds one of these notes, she is overjoyed. It's been a while since she's seen her dad so happy, and now that she finally knows why, she is eager to welcome you into her family dynamic with open arms.

[noemilivv]

Hi I saw the match up event recently but I gotta ask who would be a perfect match for me?

I’m a female and I’m not sure about my sexuality at the moment since I’m a bit confused what gender I am interested in but I don’t mind who it is, as long I’m given love and affection, then I won’t mind who it is.

About me, I’m an ambiverted female since i tend to be very shy at first and a little awkward, since I can’t keep up an conversation but there are times I will try and be social and talk to others while I’m trying not to be embarrassed or anything, but once I open up I’m very talkative and kind, i usually put my friends/family/loved ones first and then me most of the time, I don’t really get upset as often but I know deep inside I know I’m hurt since I tend to bottle everything up in short terms, I tend to mask it all with a bright and kind personality, I don’t know how to say no to others but I’m slowly learning and healing myself, but overall I’m very kind to others who respects my boundaries but overall I’m a kind hearted person, and I’m a very comforting person too, I’m basically an uncertified counselor too and not to mention I’m somewhat motherly to my friends since I always worry about them if they ate or something is wrong with them but I also get insecure most of the time because I feel like I’m not good enough or anything, I’m my friend group, I’m the mom friend who worries about their well-being or giving them mom advice (I’m not a mom because I’m single) but also I’m a hopeless romantic and I’m very delusional at times (kinda like mitsuri in a way😭😭) but I’m not a mean person in general!!

And another thing about me is I’m not very smart in a way since my ADHD and possible dislexia

but as for my style and appearance I’m a bit skinny and chubby with a curvey figure with a few small or medium belly rolls and skin marks too but I like to wear sweaters with zippers and a tight crop top tang too with spaghetti straps or thick ones and playboy bunny sweatpants because I find them comfortable since I have a big butt😭, and I like to wear my moccasins (slippers in indigenous culture, since I’m Canadian) but overall I don’t mind what clothes I’m wearing as long I’m comfortable

My main interest is listening to music that comforts me, I listen to Frank Sinatra or Songs from adventure time like everything stays or drift away from Steven universe since it kinda relates to me in away too, I love drawing and creating things like knitting or painting sunsets or landscapes!

And lastly for my main love languages, they are physically touch and Quality time, I’m very touch starved and quality starved too, I love being hugged a lot or even being near someone makes me happy, and maybe gift giving since I like giving people gifts but I sometimes like receiving gifts because I feel bad that people spend money on me either it’s expensive or not but I do like receiving small things that were crafted!! I like reassurance the most since I feel comforted when I’m sad or feeling lonely but also I have a hard time for asking for help in any situation

Thank you for listening and take your time!!!

heyy, autumn (i think this is you), in any case, i pair you with…

Sir Pentious !!

Pentious is very soothed by your soft yet cheery energy haha it makes him feel at home and at ease and he really craves that in a partner tbh

Although you tend to bottle things up, it makes him very sad, as he’s very open about his feelings with you, and it makes him feel like he did something wrong :(

He will hug you for hours on end if you’d let him. Please let him hug you. He won’t ask, but he really wants it.

[yannfredericks]

yann and karl’s friendship means so much to me so here’s a few little headcanons for my version of them <3

-karl has had a crush on pretty much all of his friends and yann (absolutely one of these friends) helps him accept his sexuality by always being his 100% authentic self and encouraging karl to do the same

-karl admitting that he’s feeling a bit insecure about quidditch and his stamina and yann inviting him to join him for his morning runs to help (but also to gossip something horrendous)

-karl badgering yann about when he’s finally going to ask polly out (even if he secretly for a little while hopes that yann asks him instead) and being their biggest supporter and the loudest cheerer when they do finally get together

-yann doing his homework down in the kitchens to keep karl company when karl is particularly stressed and baking to cope with it, he’s often the first person to taste test karls various baked goods

-karl being absolutely entranced by the fact that yann grew up doing ballet and going to visit him with cbj and polly during the holidays to see one of his dance concerts

-karl really looks up to yann!!! don’t get me wrong they are obviously in a completely equal friendship dynamic but as he grew up without any real friends, he is at first completely bewildered when he falls into the gang and will often look to yann during those early years to gauge how he should behave etc (usually this is pretty subconscious) and even though they age and he becomes a lot more confident there is a part of him that has always deeply admired yann for his poise, authenticity and likability

- (seriously I could talk for aaaaaaages about how karl views his authentic self as unlikeable and how he feels like he’s always getting social interactions just that little bit wrong and how being friends with yann helps him with this)

-yann is the only one in the gang who also takes care of magical creatures bc he knows how much it means to karl and wants to share in his knowledge and excitement, when karl ends up getting offered an apprenticeship with hagrid he is the one who most convinces him to do it

-yann being the first one to realise that matt wood has a completely debilitating crush on karl and trying to subtly push him towards him, yann always tries to pull matt into their conversations at parties and around the place and tells karl he should invite matt to hogsmede with them all one weekend

-yann would drop everything for any of his friends at a moments notice and it’s generally reciprocated but he always goes that one step further, karl absolutely matches his energy here but sometimes feels like everyone would probably prefer yanns help to his ://

-karl brings a football to hogwarts with him and often times on weekends when they’re hanging out with the gang out on the grounds they’ll kick it around with each other (polly and craig are Not Sports Fans)

-the whole group is still really close post hogwarts and end up in a little sharehouse together I think!

[soupbabe]

I saw that your requests were open, so I have an idea :D! Something that I’ve been informed of recently, is that people are sometimes scared of me because I dress goth, which really confuses me? Like, I’m weak, socially anxious, and try to be nice to people? I hope this is not too similar to another one of your posts!

So, could you do a La Squadra x Shy goth reader who people are intimidated by? You can use any pronouns! :P Have a nice day ✨

La Squadra with a Shy! Goth! Reader

I hope you like this! Grouped them all together because I was being repetitive 😅

- Pesci, Illuso, and Formaggio are probably the most intimidated by your appearance

- They still get jumpscared by Risotto every now n then- having two of him around can be a bit shocking at first

- But once they realize how shy you really are, they relax tremendously

- Formaggio and Illuso finally has the balls to tease you (though they're quick to throw their friend under the bus and run off if you're upset by it)

- Pesci even gets the courage if you two could have matching black nails!!

- Prosciutto and Ghiaccio are rather indifferent

- They don't see you as intimidating or scary; they know that you should be more scared of them than they are of you

- Prosciutto sees you as a mix of Risotto and Pesci, he doesn't care and would give you the luxury of treating you like a normal person

- Whereas Ghiaccio is rather shy too, but he prefers the route of the both of you not bothering each other

- Melone and Risotto are probably the least intimidated and open to your personality!

- They're so interested in you, any kind of dangerous vibes you give is brushed right off with them

- I think Risotto is always open to meeting more people like him, he gives back your same energy and I think you two would have many conversations about your favorite bands

- Melone might actually end up scaring you off /hj

- Your style just intrigues him and he wants to know where you get it from! (Seriously if you don't tell him where your harness is from he might have to rob you)

Breaking up is hard to do

I had a conversation with a friend yesterday about friendship breakups. It’s a topic that’s been front of mind recently so I’m going to write down some thoughts, for me more than anyone else. But if you’re like me and have spent hours scouring reddit and quora forums looking for clarity, guidance, and validation that you’re not crazy for being fed up with a friend’s behavior, then I hope this is helpful.

No one friend break up is the same. My first, and to this day most devastating, friend breakup happened when I was 19. For the next five years it was the defining breakup of my life. No boy could match the deep love and connection I had with my friend. But it was a dramatic breakup, the kind that most often occurs in the first two decades of a life, when experiences are novel and reference points are scarce. This doesn’t diminish how it felt, but limits its utility in parsing my most recent friend breakup. One that feels distinctly 30-something; the confluence of therapy and the wisdom gained from the tumult of my twenties.

It’s been a slow devolution, not a clean break where we no longer speak to each other. This friend (let’s call her Star), remains a presence in my life. I’m still in group chats with her. Most of our mutual friends don’t know anything is amiss. I’m not sure if she understands the severity of my feelings. This break up may be one-sided. And I’m starting to make peace with that.

It’s also made me notice that a lot of my friends are going through a reevaluation of their friends, especially older friendships which skate by without reappraisal for years at a time. The friends and friend dynamics we take for granted. The enduring high school and college friends whose quirks we tolerated for years, but who take on the quality of family insofar as feeling completely knowable and therefore unchangeable. There’s an illusion of permanence that does everyone involved a disservice. I find their stories reassuring; I feel less alone in my confusion and sense of loss.

This particular experience gave me the opportunity to take stock. It’s been a reminder that values are lived in many ways including in our relationships. I’m guilty of overemphasizing romantic relationships. I was in romantic relationships for the entirety of my friendship with Star and it’s not lost on me that my discontents with her became more pronounced once I was single. And it’s that same breakup that gave me a deeper appreciation of friendship. So many of my friends showed up for me, through that breakup and the subsequent transitions. Star wanted to. She talked about being there for me. But in the end she wasn’t. It made me furious and sad. It made me question myself in ways that were both helpful and cruel. I’m still questioning.

This breakup has been on my mind for almost a year now so, I have some distance. But like I said, it’s a living dynamic. She’s still in my life, even if her presence is greatly diminished. Sometimes seeing her sends me back down a spiral of resentment and recriminations. I berate myself for continuing to give her my valuable time and energy. That never actually helps. Instead of wallowing in self-loathing (and pity), I’m turning those feelings outward.

I don’t know what this will look like. Maybe it’ll be nonsensical ramblings with no structure. Maybe I’ll try to write essays with research and citations. Maybe I will abandon this, like so many writing projects before it. I like to think that I’m writing this for other people out there dealing with friendship transition and loss, but if it’s only ever a personal record of this time in my life then it will still be valuable.

Group one

Y'all got it going on when it comes to money. Seems like you guys are in yo bag I heard . Lol.seems like you're distracting or blocking out something. It may be thoughts and or could be conversation. It might be something uncomfortable to bring up. But it seems to really wanna or keep trying to come up though.things may change or did cause of this or would if you brought it up maybe. If that seems bad or you're worried about that for some reason it only seems that way because of your perspective..you all need to actually change your angle on this. That will help in some way or another depending on who you are.

Group two

You guys in bed a lot? I saw someone in bed and someone sending a kid to go get this person and the kid turned a bright as light on on them. So this is symbolic , of some type of abrupt light, change🍀,disturbance. So when I typed that I went to put, and hit the emojis instead and then 🍀... So dang ..I got something about The Hunger Games..you all need to use your voice. I heard someone say speak clearly. Don't be afraid to say how you feel and what you mean as bluntly as it is so. I keep hearing counterfeit . Also you guys might be expressing something but it isn't the right direction if you go with the flow more you might not find the path appealing but you're being guided somewhere beautiful, you didn't know you needed it type of thing, maybe. Seriously about counterfeit so watch the hell out for that especially in regards to other people acting like someone they're not , and of course money that isn't channeled but it's concerning right so just watch out... Something is coming in for you guys , seems completely different for all of you guys. But I can say there is fire energy and air energy here. So actually for some of you I feel like you get two opportunities one of them is wrong one of them is right. The right choice will sit well with you and you'll be able to tell that it or they are what's right for you. Almost like it'll feel natural.

Group three

Super strange reading already. I'm kind of confused I'm not gonna lie. It seems that there's one energy. And another matching one. The first one seemed at first to be possibly blamed for something. Then it seemed that the first energy was being protected, or having peace at least with the energy blaming or looking at them, right. The second energy, that is matching is now seemingly to blame.

If this is infact about kids it seems like they're just being kids and either way kids or not, it's suggested that you should take an unemotional approach. Maybe to the point and kind of like, "I see through you." If that makes sense. Be stronger than the situation ,whatever it is.

Also there might be some energy here definitely for some a kid, and they're going to stir something up it seems, or do something possibly sort of destructive. Best advice I'm being given to give to you, is to get more involved with whatever the kid or any energy it is is involved in if that makes sense. If you're kid likes arts and crafts support them in that fully and get involved.

Group four

You guys might want to think about the past , and how you used to be, from wherever it is that you've come, and contemplate it all. I think there's something some of yall don't seem to be noticing. I think you've grown a lot as people. Someone's been stealing your energy or doing something like that to you okay and so it looks like they're gonna have to give it back in a sort of shameful way. Like I'm seeing them sad walk all upset and depressive and shamefully and give something rightfully yours and or somebody else's back and this energy is abundant and nice. This seems to me like you have to let go of something possibly. And how will you do that if you don't know what to let go of. I am sorry I don't know why but I'm getting something about tw. Jesus and specifically when he was on the crucifix and also oddly and specifically at night. Maybe also a vampire. So weird two things to mix and compare so idk wth.its a possibilty that you have something that feels wrong within you. Sadness, mental illnesses, something and you need to get to the root of it to fix it. That's what I feel. Protect yourselves. Spirits are watching your back at this time especially they are super surveiling everything around you to make sure you're ok so that also shows me though you could possibly be at risk of something negative so please do make sure you're protecting yourselves ok. Another thing they want those of you with 1 sadness 2 anger 3 grief especially to channel those into some type of motivation or power. And if you like toast eat toast or if you need to eat eat some damn toast.

Last Chapter Next Chapter

The remainder of their time spent watching the building was quite aside from when someone important was spotted. But neither of the two tried to strike up a conversation again nor did they try to irritate each other. It was actually not nearly as bad as Sakaki had originally anticipated it to be. But they didn’t mean the hours didn’t drag on. By the time two sidekicks showed up to take their place for the night shift Sakaki was more than happy to stretch her stiff body out as she walked beside boom boom boy heading back to his agency.

They would talk with Kirishima on what they saw and then she could head home. That gave a new pep to her step. Which apparently didn’t go unnoticed by mister grouchy pants beside her.

“You sure got a lot of fucking energy for someone who just finished a twelve hour stake out,” he growled at her.

“I do. I’m not used to sitting for so long. I’m accustomed to being on my feet all day doing shit,” she said it wasn’t a complete lie either. She was accustomed to spending her days patrolling, tackling criminals or training with Miruko. She didn’t wish to add that like a child freed from the confinement of school she wanted nothing more than to head home. She was just chomping at the bit to get home and relax.

Her nest was calling her name when she got home. Curl up with her blankets and maybe watch a movie or something to unwind and just be herself. Get away from the stress of being a hero for a few minutes. She would indulge her omega instincts with the feeling of relaxing in her nest of pillows and blankets.

Walking into the agency Sakaki followed after Bakugou as he led the way up to the shared office the two men had. She still had a hard time believing the two could get along so well, at times she truly wondered if the two were more than friends. It was incredibly rare but she had heard a case or two where alpha’s would bond. The only difference was that neither man had a bond mark. Their necks were bare of any scars. That was probably the only thing that kept the media at bay with the same assumptions. Hell they still tried some days.

Walking into the room Kirishima was sitting at his desk in civilian clothes. Or really it looked like some workout clothes as he wore a grey hoodie and matching sweats. And of course the second he spotted his two friends his face lit up.

“Bakugou, Sakaki, how was your stake out?” He asked, smiling a wide sharp toothed grin at both of them. Sakaki found herself pulling her mask down to rest around her neck so she could return the smile to the red head.

“Boring,” the two answers at the same time in a completely matching bored tone. Kirishima couldn’t even hold back as his head was tossed back and he let out a bellow of a laugh as both Sakaki and Bakugou glared at each other. Sakaki waited for Kirishima to calm down before she continued with the report.

“We saw a few people we have linked to the head of the group. But Taoka Kazuo himself was nowhere to be seen. We will need to keep an eye out on the warehouse for him but may have to keep our eyes out for him elsewhere,” Sakaki said simply informing Kirishima of what they had seen or better yet who they had not seen and her personal thoughts.

“Our source is solid; he will show up there. We just need to wait it out. I say leave some extras keeping an eye on the place and we can make sure we are ready to move in at a moment's notice,” Bakugou argued with Sakaki wanting to just leave the boring work to his poor sidekicks or whoever he would assign the boring ass job to. Even though that’s what she said though she felt they should still look for him elsewhere.

“But we know that’s not the only warehouse he owns. We should continue to look for the others and look for him or someone closer to him. Otherwise who knows how long we could be waiting,” she argued. Sakaki had no desire to be stuck on this mission longer than she had to be. Leaving some sidekicks to watch that warehouse was fine. But she still felt the need to go looking for the man. She couldn’t just sit back and wait weeks if not months. She wanted to get back to working with Miruko as soon as she possibly could.

This had caused Bakugou to growl at Sakaki as she stood beside him. And in turn she pulled her own top lip back with a barely audible growl coming from her. Kirishima was quick to jump to his feet to quickly try and dispel the battle that may be about to break out in his office.

“Baku-bro! I’ve got an idea how about all of us go and grab something to eat? I’m sure you and Sakaki didn’t get a chance to eat anything while on your stake out,” Kirishima was quick to try and diffuse the tension between the two.

“Huh oh wait, Kirishima. I don’t have anything to wear but my hero costume,” Sakaki said quickly pointing out this wasn’t her agency and she didn’t have a locker to keep any normal clothes in.

“That’s okay. You live close by don’t you?” He asked with that warm and friendly heart warming smile that had the woman sigh and nod her head softly. Why did she have a feeling Miruko had sent a file about herself to the red head before she even arrived at their agency.

“It doesn’t even take half an hour for me to get home on foot,” is what she said out loud but a string of curse words ran through her head instead, unhappy with her answer or the fact that she feared she knew where this was going.

“That’s perfect then. Me and Bakugou can walk you home. You can get changed and we can all go out to eat. After all there are a number of good restaurants around the agency here,” Kirishima said, still smiling as always even though Sakaki was struggling not to panic. If it wasn’t for the fact she had her scent blockers on, Kirishima would have picked up on the scent of her distress. Her home had been her safe haven. That was the one place she could openly be an omega. Where she didn't have to wear scent blockers, where she could have her nest and not worry. The second anyone stepped foot into her tiny one bedroom apartment they would be able to tell she was an omega. Then there was the concern of having two alpha’s sitting in her home was also an unwanted thought. Their scents would probably linger for days after the visit and it was already bad enough she had to work with them. Their scents lingering in her home could trigger her heat and she didn’t have the time to deal with that right now.

“It’s okay. You don’t have to do that. I’ll run home real quick and get changed and I’ll just meet you guys wherever you decide to go for supper,” She said quickly flashing the red head a small smile. But of course Kirishima seemed oblivious to the fact she was trying to keep the two out of her home.

“But what kinda men would we be if we left a woman to just walk all over town all alone?” He asked with that wide sharp toothed grin he had. Damn the man could warm anyone's heart. Sakaki couldn’t even bring herself to argue with him as she sighed softly.

“Fine but my place is a mess,” She mumbled as if that was the sole reason why she didn't want them in her home. Even though it was really only her bedroom that was currently a mess. But she needed an attempt to cover her ass and not just sound like some rude bitch.

“Don’t worry. You surely can’t be worse than Bakugou. He leaves his towels all over the living room,” Kirishima said with a light chuckle as Bakugou beside him raged about the fact that he had a bad habit of leaving towels tossed around the house they shared.

“Like your one to talk shitty hair. You’re the one who can’t wash a dish to save your damn life. If I’m gone for a single night the sink is full by the time I get home,” Bakugou was just as quick to throw Kirishima under the bus with him. And to be honest it was somehow such a soothing sight watching Kirishima flash Bakugou an innocent smile not even denying the blonde's accusation.

“So then it’s true? The two of you are still renting together?” Sakaki asked as she started to head out of the shared office.

“Yep! We have been living together pretty much since UA. It just seems so natural. And plus I’d probably starve or get fat on fast food if Bakugou wasn’t around to cook,” Kirishima seemed so shameless talking about Bakugou almost more like a lover. Okay maybe it was more like the blonde was some live in chef or maid? She wasn’t really sure but still, it seemed so odd the two could live and work together.

“Hey you two idiots stop and wait for me in the lobby. I need to go change,” was the growl that came from said blonde man as he turned and left the two as they both answered a simple okay in unison.

“I’m surprised. I do not know how you can both live and work with someone like Bakugou,” she said softly, voicing the thought that was sitting on her mind. She quickly glanced over at the red head only to see him still beaming a smile at her.

“He’s really not that bad. Really,” Kirishima said with a soft sigh before he continued, “He may be a little explosive. But when he cares about you then he does small things for you. Like I said he makes sure there's always left over supper in the fridge for me if I’m doing a later shift. He just doesn't know how to express himself in any other way.”

“You know saying things like that out loud makes it sound like the two of you are lovers or something,” Her face lit up after she voiced the thought that had entered her mind and had not meant to be spoken. But instead of being met with anger Kirishima just broke out in a hearty laugh.

“Nah we're just like brothers that's all,” Kirishima said once his laughing had calmed down enough for him to talk again. Well it still didn't help if the media heard Kirishima talking so openly they would have a field day with it. After all it's not like either man was big into dating. The media was just as happy to suspect the two were lovers since neither were ever seen with a woman wrapped around their arm.

“Now that I’ve noticed,” She mumbled, actually agreeing the two did remind her of what she would think two brothers would act like. One is mature and calm, the other energetic and explosive.

With that Bakugou was quick to return, his uniform discarded; he now wore a dark pair of jeans. And a dark grey t-shirt that like Kirishima honestly looked too tight for Sakaki’s liking as it seemed to hug the man's well built chest. Damn it she was staring. Sakaki was quick to turn on her heel, having to physically turn away as she found herself licking her bottom lip before nibbling on her lip.

“Alright ladies let’s get going I’m hungry,” she called over her shoulder teasingly as Kirishima laughed lightly while she could hear Bakugou growl at her but he didn’t say anything as he followed after her as each man took up a different side of the woman as they walked letting her lead the way.

It was incredibly easy to chat with Kirishima, after all the warm soul he was always seemed to draw people in. Even if his appearance could be intimidating with the large mountain of pure muscle towering over her. The two simply talked about what happened after UA. Sakaki explained how she got a sidekick position with Miruko a bit after graduating. While Kirishima was just as happy to tell her about how he and Katsuki did a little work for different agencies for the first roughly 4 years saving every penny they could before they were able to afford the incredible great office space they had now. It was still amazing to think the two had their own agency by the age of twenty two. The two men were quick to rise in the ranks quickly, the history of their years at UA probably helps as most students held decent ranks quickly outside of graduation. Izuku, Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, Uraraka, Denki, and Shinsou were the first names to pop into her mind of people who quickly gained popularity after graduating along with Kirishima and Bakugou. Though Shinsou had less than good standings, like Gang Orca he was labeled one of the top villain-like hero’s.

The duo was actually gossiping about Denki and Shinsou since the two crossed her mind Sakaki couldn’t help but ask how the two had been. Kirishima was all too happy to tell her about how the duo was dating. That was why Denki left their agency and went to work with Shinsou. This was a bit of a surprise but maybe it shouldn’t have been. She always had a feeling Denki swung both ways. It was more so the fact Shinsou the strong alpha he was had taken a beta partner when she was sure omega’s threw themselves at that purple haired tired man. But she imagined the two men complemented each other well. Shinsou would mellow out Denki and Denki would add a little life to the tired Shinsou.

Bakugou remained silent with his hands stuffed into his pants pocket as he scowled trying to look like he wasn’t paying attention to the two having a conversation beside him. But he was slightly curious when she talked about herself. Though she seemed to keep the details vaguer than he would have liked. When she asked about Denki and Shinsou, Bakugou felt his hands clench in his pockets as he resists the urge to growl and snap at her for asking about two other men. Where did that irritation come from? And towards two men that were friends. Or the closest things Bakugou had to friends.

All too soon the trio came to a stop as Sakaki struggled to swallow as she tried not to take a shaky breath as she stood before her apartment building. Damn it she was still trying to think of a way to ask the two men to stay in the lobby without sounding like a bitch.

“This is me,” she said softly barely above a whisper as she approached the front door pulling out her key to unlock it and walk into the little lobby slash mailroom. Before she made her way towards the small elevator. No front desk, no fancy place. It wasn’t old or run down but the place also didn’t scream luxury or expensive. And that’s how Sakaki had always liked it. Sure she could afford better now but this was the place she moved into when she first graduated and has stayed ever since even if it’s a bit of a commute to get to work.

“What a dump,” of course it would be Bakugou who would say something so rude but she forced a simple smile. It wasn’t till Kirishima hit him over the back of the head with a large palm that she giggled softly.

“Sorry about him,” Kirishima said, apologizing for his friend's rude comment.

“Don’t worry about it. He’s not exactly wrong. Compared to what most hero’s pick for places to live, this place is not overly fancy. But it’s dirt cheap and the place isn’t really that bad,” she said, smiling softly at Kirishima.

“Surely Miruko pays you well enough to live better than this,” seemed the first whack to the back of the head had not taught Bakugou to bite his tongue and instead earned him another that had him rubbing his sore head and cursing at his red headed friend. She led the way to the elevator before cramming all of them in which was a bit tight with the two large men inside with her.

“Of course she does. But I lived here before I started working for Miruko. It grew on me and I’ve had no desire to go through the trouble of moving,” she said simply trying not to look at either man as she found herself holding her breath as she was crammed into the small space with both men. Their scents intoxicating, her mouth watered, and in all honesty she could climb both men like a tree if she was given the opportunity. Or otherwise if they were not friends and coworkers she wouldn't hesitate to flirt with either man. She wished that she could say Kirishima would be her first pick. But in all honesty her eyes had wanted to drift over to Bakugou first.

His scent was the most alluring, it was so comforting even though the man himself was the complete opposite. While on the other hand Kirishima was much warmer, his attitude was so much nicer. He also wasn’t in any sort of way an eye sore. And yet his warm earthy scent wasn’t nearly as alluring as Bakugou’s. But still she couldn’t help but wonder. Why were both men single? Bakugou made sense, sure. Who could put up with his sharp abusive tongue and explosive attitude? But Kirishima was such a warm and outgoing person. So why was he single? Did he do it so Bakugou wouldn’t feel left out or like a third wheel? She could only try and guess at the answers to her questions.

With the elevator coming to a stop and the doors opening she was quick to nearly jump out of the elevator and into the hall. Her lungs screamed for air as she took a deep breath as she strolled down the hall leaving the two men to tail behind her. She held her keys in her hands as she frowned softly as she stopped in front of the door to her apartment. She paused for a second before opening the door to her place and walking in. She slipped off her boots before slipping some white little slippers on.

“I’ll just be a moment. Feel free to make yourself at home,” she said, turning to glance at both men who were watching her. Bakugou had his signature scowl and Kirishima was smiling as always.

“Awesome,” Kirishima said simply with his wide smile while Bakugou remained silent but neither man took their shoes off which she was thankful for as she turned and made her way through the small apartment and headed to her room.

She needed to strip and get changed as fast as possible which is what she did nearly unzipping her suit before the door was even closed behind her. She was struggling to squirm her body out of the sticky suit like a second skin.

Meanwhile the two men stood watching her run off into the apartment. With that the second her door was closed Kirishima took a deep slow inhale through his nose. The strong scent of omega filled his nose along with the fresh scent of strawberries.

“Oh wow so she really is an omega. I had a suspicion but I didn't know it was true,” Kirishima nearly whispered.

“It’s probably why she didn’t want us coming over,” Bakugou replied, seeing how the place was really clean. Sure a plate or two could be seen in the sink. But otherwise he couldn’t see anything else in the house really. And the living room and kitchen were right in front of them as the front doorway led into the kitchen and the kitchen and living room were attached as one room.

“I wonder why she kept it such a secret?” Kirishima seemed to be asking himself more than Bakugou. To be honest the blonde wondered the same thing and so all he could do was shrug his shoulders at his friend before the two watched the bedroom door open and Sakaki came trotting out. Her uniform was gone, it was replaced with dark skinny jeans, and a black tank top. Her hair that had been pulled back was now left loose and down.

“Alright let’s go get some supper. Did either of you have any favourite places around here?” She asked as she slipped on a pair of flats as she watched the two.

“Bakugou loves a Ramen shop not far from here,” Kirishima said not caring about the glare his comment earned him from his friend.

“Sounds great. Lead the way,” she said, ready to follow the two men out of her home still wondering how she got talked into joining the two for supper when just the other day she had refused. Damn Kirishima was hard to turn down.

Next Chapter

[scary-monsters]

truly wish i could even begin to understand my weirdly specific avoidance and anxiety related to social interactions. discord server? fine! great, even! groupchats of any kind? a-ok! dms? overwhelming texts? exhausting. replying to comments? stressful.

i guess it does make sense to some degree because it basically boils down to:

existing within a larger social space is less stressful for me in that i don't have to constantly be adding to the conversation, i can quietly exist, feel like part of the group, and fulfill my social needs without using up too much of my energy

one-on-one conversation is difficult because it takes me ages to painstakingly craft a message that i feel confident in and i tend to overthink how my words will be perceived. i also worry that i won't match the energy of the person i'm talking to and that i will seem aloof or uninterested

and i wish it were simply enough for me to look at these facts about my personality and be okay with them, but then i worry that people will think badly of me for it. it's one of my biggest problems in general: getting too overly concerned with the way people perceive me and letting that fear guide every single thing i do.

i worry people think things like "kat never adds to the conversation, so she doesn't care" which is not true, i take in what's happening around me and i like to observe and be a quiet but supportive part of the group. i pay attention and listen, and i feel that's one of my biggest strengths in general as a friend.

"kat never answers my dms so i think she dislikes me" i can assure you that this is not true, but this is 100% a valid concern and i acknowledge that my avoidance of dm's needs to be worked on/i need to find a nice way to say "i don't have the energy right now, i'll get back to you later" that won't make me feel like i'm shutting someone down or hurting their feelings.

"kat only talks about (insert topic here) and that's it, she's so one-note and boring" i talk about the things that bring me joy and relieve my stress. being social is already a huge stressor for me, even though it is necessary, so of course i'm going to default to things that are easy and exciting for me to talk about.

i think especially recently i've felt very overwhelmed and anxious about the way i interact with people online and i try to have patience with myself because i simply can't be as chatty as other people are, but it's so so hard. my job requires me to put on a mask for 10hrs a day to interact with people in a retail setting, and it's hard to explain just how exhausting that is. when i get home i don't have the energy to be talkative and initiate conversation. it's easier and more relaxing for me to sit and observe, and i truly hope that doesn't make me seem like i'm not trying. i have to accept the fact that i'm likely always going to be that slightly inactive friend who pops up when they can, and i hope that isn't unacceptable to anyone who's important to me.

Eddie Munson Head cannons

Fluffy best friend Eddie head cannons. There might be one spoiler for season 4 part 2. Best friend is gender neutral / doesn't have gender assigned to them and is assumed to be friends with the other members of hellfire.

TW: swearing. Slight mentions of drug use.

You share the nickname double trouble. Seriously, the teachers call you that, parents call you that, and you've even heard Hopper call you both that one time. Once you're in the same grade, all the teachers groan when they see both of you on their class list. You tend to instigate shit, and Eddie tends to back you up. It's not that you're disrespectful per se; you just don't know how to keep your opinions to yourself—Eddie chimes in with those opinions.

You're loud best friends. It's annoying to everyone other than you two. Your conversations turn into yelling on both ends. It's not even angry yelling; you both happen to communicate by yelling. You're both the type of people to be excited around your friends, and the conversations get louder the longer they occur. It's like matching the Eddie energy we know and love with best friend energy. It's just loud. The conversations themselves, though, those are interesting. Neither of you holds back. You roast each other, make fun of each other, and if people didn't know you were friends, they might think you hate one another. It is said out of love, though. Neither of you are offended. In fact, you've never fought. No, I don't know how. I just know you haven't.

You think he'd drive safely because of his illegal activities, right? I think the fuck not. He drives like a bat out of hell, and you've hit your head one too many times to trust him driving. He does not follow the speed limit or where the road is. He will drive over curbs just for the hell of it. If you're someone who tends to get car sick - good luck. You will not drive in his van with him driving. You make him get out and get in the passenger seat. It took 2 months to get to that stage. It's not that he's even a bad driver; in fact if he tried, he'd be a good driver, but he doesn't try.

After the whole Vecna thing and him making it out badly hurt but alive, you made a pact as a group to relax and hang out together without the loom of the upside down. You can't remember who suggested it, but someone suggested camping would be fun. It was - the younger Hawkins group was able to do some bonding with their favourite older kids. The older kids snuck a few bottles of alcohol and tried to play it off like they didn't. Eddie and Steve playfully argued over who Dustin's favourite parent is. It's you. Eddie brought his acoustic guitar to play for everyone - someone (Steve) even got him to play a Tears for Fears song that he swears up and down he doesn't know the chords for. Of course, you'll remember that for later.

We all know he isn't the cleanest person ever. There is a particular smell that lingers on him. 70% is that damn battle jacket you've told him to wash a million times. Thankfully you're more of a morning person than he is. So when you wake up during the camping trip and it's almost like he's got it laid out just waiting for you. So you take it to the lake and wash it for him. Yes, he did throw a fit, and you did have to buy him more patches and buttons, but it was worth it.

Watching movies with Eddie is challenging to say the least. If he likes the movie, he will shush you if you're eating or breathing too loud; if he doesn't, he won't shut up. Also, he doesn't pause the movie for you if you get more snacks or have to go to the washroom. God forbid you don't pause it for him, though. You know the little whining fits he makes throughout the season? It's that x10. Seriously, it's like the world is going to end. He won't stop whining for the whole movie, so do yourself a favour and pause the movie if he gets up. You both love movies, so you have scheduled movie nights or movie weekends. Sometimes part of hellfire shows up, and sometimes, it's just you two. Horror movies are both of your favourite genres, so you make a point to try and watch at least one each movie night. Eddie is the one who gets scared by them. He will physically jump out of a chair or off the couch at jump scares. That is the main reason you set up an air mattress in the living room that you two can sleep on; at least if he gets scared by it, the floor is only a few centimeters fall. He lies and tells your other friends it's you that's afraid of horror movies and that you refuse to watch them with anybody but him. You let him tell this lie because he's your best friend, and as much as you make fun of him, you don't like when other people do.

Regardless of whether you're both single, both dating people, or one is dating and the other isn't, he requires solo best-friend time. His people are his people. I can see him being protective of all his friends in different ways, but best friends have different privileges. He needs time with just you and him, or else he will feel neglected. Side note - this is a massive part of why I believe he's an Aries - I will go into detail on this if you let me. Don't let me. But it's also the attitude and way he reacts to things. I digress! But yea, no, he would enforce best friend time, even if it's just to hang out in the trailer, get high and shit talk. It's like a recharge for both of you.

You don't get a choice of coming to Corroded Coffin shows. You would go even if he didn't force you, but he does. In his words, he kidnaps you for the evening. You've begged him to try different ways to say that simply because of his reputation. The first few times people heard him say he was going to kidnap you, Chief Hopper made a surprise visit to the venue, and you ended up promising him you were happy to be there and that Eddie had a poor choice of wording. You're their number one fan and always will be.

His love language is touch, hence why he's a very touchy person. Of course, this transfers to his friends, especially you as his best friend. He's the type to cuddle his best friend. He also loves to lay his legs across your lap or have you lay yours across his. There are also smaller touches. Like how you'll touch his shoulder if he's pissed off, and that calms him down, or how you bump into each other just the tiniest bit when you walk together. And then one of you shoves the other into someone else or a bush.

In relation to that, I think he likes his hair being played with by the people he trusts. But I also don't believe he washes his hair more than once every two weeks, at the most. Regardless, you do play with his hair, because he likes it and it doesn't really bother you anymore. As the trust builds over the years, he will also let you put braids and other stuff in it.

Weed hook-ups. He is the man for it - obviously. I mean, realistically, he's the hook-up for any drugs, but again, I digress. It's just a part of you two hanging out. You smoke together, talk about life sometimes, do homework sometimes, try to ignore him while he plans for DND, etc. You're a staple in the Munson household. You get along with Mr. Munson, even if he still tries to get you to call him Wayne. He's less of a staple at your house, but he's still there quite frequently. Your parent(s) love him like another child.

This fucker can be so annoying, though. Your best friends who are both only children. You act like siblings - let's be honest - he annoys the fuck out of you like any sibling would. He will steal your clothes even if they don't fit properly (crop top Eddie ftw), he will lick you to gross you out, he will annoy you to get your attention. He will also bite. Eddie is a biter with his friends and partner. You have a tendency to smack him upside the head in a very loving manner. He will fuck with your hair even if you threaten him. You have threatened him before, multiple times. You've even acted on the threat. It didn't do anything. Anything that's yours is his. That isn't your milkshake; it's both of yours. He will help himself to anything of yours. He is also the most loyal person you'll ever meet. He will take your secrets with him to the grave. He'd help you hide a dead body if you needed him to; at the same time, what dead body? He doesn't know anything about a dead body. Where were you last night? At his house, forcing him to do homework so he can finally graduate together. Because that's what best friends are for.

Untitled YA Novel Chapter 18: Secret Spy Plane to Secret Submarine Base

First Chapter || More

06:19 AM local time

Untouched Horizons, House Dinchdrast, Si Yátz

The group was awoken early in the morning. But it was easy to wake the usually reluctant teens. From the second the knock on Hira's door alerted them, the tension was slowly building in the air around them. It was impossible for them to even attempt to continue to sleep.

Mike eased his nervousness with playing music and making playlists to let out the nervous energy by tapping his foot.

Hira spend her energy going over all the equipment that they got from Untouched Horizons. She selected a baton and a stunner. And a couple of devices that were flashbang like stunning grenades.

Justin found the armor lockers and inside there were several hoods. He assumed it was something that could filter out smoke, if they had to use another smoke bomb it would be helpful to have, especially for Hira.

The rest of the time Justin spent reading the active ingredients on the toys he picked up. He kept his stunner and grabbed as many flashbangs and smoke bombs as he could reasonably carry. Mike caught him reading and looking up various ingredients from the list because of course he was. That made Mike smile to himself. Justin was a nerd but that was exactly what he needed sometimes.

"What's the plan?" Mike asked.

"Why don't you have a plan?" Justin teased.

"My plan is to keep you two safe and hit anyone who tries to stop us. But planning is not my strong suit. Besides, I don't want to be mean to Hira, I have no idea what your friend looks like."

"Why would that be mean?" Hira asked back, confused.

"I think it's because he doesn't want to sound like he thinks all zlilfians look alike," Justin clarified.

"Ah, I see," Hira responded. "That would not be offensive to me. We are of different species, our brains are not designed to see the minute differences and details in the other."

Then there was a lengthy pause.

"Would you like a description of Rafe so that you may recognize her?" Hira offered. "She is taller than me by a few inches, which is tall for a shrar. Her coloring is almost ideal, perfectly symmetrical alternating lines of gold and black, except for the slightly crooked line of black across her eyes. Rafe has a strong build to her, she's beat me in almost every hand-to-hand sparring match we've ever had."

Justin smiled at her and was biting down a laugh.

"Sounds like someone has a crush," Mike said.

"This word before in human media has come up but I don't understand it," Hira responded. "What does that mean?"

"He's saying you like Rafe," Justin explained but badly.

"Of course I do. She is my friend. My only true friend," Hira said, not understanding the line of conversation or why she should be embarrassed by this.

"I meant, in like, a romantic sense," Mike clarified.

"Oh. I see," Hira said finally catching on. "Zlilfians have much different connotations to these kinds of relationships than humans do."

"How's that work?" Justin asked.

"Well the romantic aspect you speak of, that much is true. Zlilfians have friends and close friends, and then typically one or two people that you wish to spend all of your time with, which is what I think you mean with your romance. We call this person our tràrks."

"Yes! That one!" Mike said as he sat up a bit straighter and pointed at Hira. "You want to spend all your time with her and kiss her and stuff."

Hira was actively trying to keep the embarrassment from spreading through her wings now that they were all on the same page. "Yes. Why wouldn't I? Rafe is an excellent zlilfian and shrar and better than me, and pretty."

"We'll get your girlfriend, tràrks, back," Mike said with a teasing smile.

The embarrassment was all over Hira and even the boys could tell. "Oh no! I don't want to have children with Rafe. I mean I don't know how it works with humans but we can't. We're in the same House and that's not something they want to happen and there's breeding rights with other houses and -"

"Ok! Ok! We don't need to have this lesson," Mike yelled to interrupt her ramble.

"This an embarrassing topic, but having children isn't something I want for a long time and -" Hira continued, seemingly oblivious to Mike's protests.

"Ah! We get it! I'll stop teasing you!" Mike said as he tried to cover his ears.

Justin saw one of Hira's antennae twitch, in what he assumed was the equivalent of a zlilfian trying to not laugh at her own joke.

"I think he's had enough," Justin said and Hira stopped her counter teasing offensive.

"He is not incorrect though," Hira commented quietly. "Rafe is very important to me. I feel like I owe her a great deal, and her company is something I greatly enjoy."

"Does she know that?"

"I don't know."

"I know that there's always a big song and dance with humans and telling someone you like them like that, but this whole situation is a lot. I think what helped my dad come out of it was talking about how we both were hurt by my mom. You should try talking to Rafe about how you feel, it might help her out."

Hira nodded. "It is something that has been on my mind a lot. What if she doesn't feel the same? What if her reaction is negative to me?"

"You're doing so much for her and if she's half the zlilfian you think she is, I'm sure she'll see you as someone absolutely great."

"Thank you."

Mike uncovered his ears. "You done?"

Justin rolled his eyes but smiled at his best friend. "I do have half a plan," he said. "And it's only half because like Mike said, I don't really know Rafe well enough to track her down. But I've been studying submarine schematics and I've got some devices that I think can help." He held up his smoke bombs and flashbangs.

"Did you also grab some cans of spraypaint?" Mike asked.

"Yeah I did. I think the best way to do this is to get Rafe and try and stop Frost from taking a submarine. He's just one guy. But he's also the big Silence guy so, I assume it's going to be much harder than we think. That's why I've got a plan B."

"I hope you know what you're doing," Mike said.

"You know how good I am at breaking things," Justin replied. "This should be a cake walk. Just so long as you two don't get caught or beaten up or Silenced or something. So you two have to watch out for each other."

"This may be a good time to mention that I do not swim. That is to say that I can," Hira mentioned. "But water and zlilfians do not get along very well. Getting wet makes it very hard to fly and our wings, when they get wet, are basically dead weight and it feels terrible."

"So try to keep Hira out of the water," Mike responded. "Good to know."

i have a kofi

find me on pillowfort

[softxsuki]

Heyyy!! Congratulations on 1k!!I’m here for the matchup event>:)!

Fandom: Tokyo rev and platonic matchup please<3(any gender)

Personality: At first I might seem like a silent and a distant person cuz I’m not good at communicating with new people. I don’t click with a lot of people, that being the reason I have only a little friend group who I don’t feel awkward around. But after you get to know me, I’m actually a completely different person - really talkative, loud and smiley even though I can get angered and annoyed really easily. When I am, I get really passive aggressive & I tend to stay quiet not to lash out at other people or accidentally hurt them. But if spoken to and I decide to speak back, my tone does not sound aggressive and speak with short sentences, trying to avoid having a long conversation. A good trait of mine is that I’m a good listener and supportive. I really like supporting people I care about and love in any way & their achievements make me truly happy<3 I’m a BIG daydreamer and my head is often in the clouds😭 I cope with stressful events/distract myself from negative emotions by daydreaming and convincing myself they didnt happen. I’m also a VERY BIG procrastinator and do everything at the last possible moment, mostly because I’m too lazy to do it at that moment. I literally can’t have a straight face and be serious no matter what is going on(except if it’s really serious, then I get serious too lol.) I’m responsible when I need to be & I HATE when I bring people down and don’t meet their expectation.

Sun: Capricorn Moon: Taurus Rising: Capricorn

Mbti: Isfp-t (I’m so sorry I forgot my enneagram💀)

My hobbies: I play guitar and attend a volleyball school. besides that I really enjoy cloudgazing<33!! It’s my favorite thing to do. I even have a speacial lil spot I cloudgaze at & I take my friends there from time to time:) I also love listening to music but idk if that’s a hobby😭

What I value in friendship: Loyalty and being there for each other when the other needs it:) Also patience, since it’s really hard to understand me sometimes and I usually don’t mean things I say. Someone with the same humorous with the same humor as me. Being supportive and HYPING EACH OTHER UP>>>

Extra stuff:

whenever I’m angry, a hug is the only thing that calms me down. Like I go soft and my anger immediately fades away. I really get all soft and mushy whenever someone shows affection towards me in general.

Whenever I’m nervous I just play with my hands or with the sleeves of my shirt. I used to chew my shirt too but I let go of that trait💀

I laugh a LOT and my laugh is very loud. I get very happy when I succeed at making people around me laugh too:)

The best compliment i could get is “ur funny” IDK WHY BUT IT MAKES ME HAPPY-

My fav season gotta be winter cuz of all the fun stuff & new year and Christmas are my fav holidays<3

IM TIRED AND HAVE NO ENERGY 24/7

Scenario: Something like helping each other confess to our crushes and helping to plan each other’s dates but messing everything up would be really funny jdkwdkjd or just generally hanging out together.

Once again congratulations!! Take your time writing thing and don’t forget to take care:)!!

-🫐

1000 Follower Event Matchup #32

This event is CLOSED. You can find the event masterlist here.

Note: 🫐anon! Hello and thank you for participating. I'm sorry you had to wait this long for your matchup! It's been a tough year :3 I hope you still enjoy it though! Thank you <3

I match you with: TAKEMITCHI (platonic)

Runner-up: Emma

Takemitchi:

(Too lazy to edit a picture for him since I don’t take requests for Takemichi :3)

The main reason why I picked Takemichi is because you said you value loyalty in a friendship, and have you seen the lengths this man has gone for his GF and friends??? He’s SUPER loyal

So loyal, that he pushes himself despite how how weak and cowardly he may feel inside

Probably one of the best friends you’ll find; if you ever need him, he’d be there for you, even if it’s 3am

He’s one of the few people you can be yourself around without judgment, and he comes as a package deal with Hinata and Chifuyu so you have your little friend group with them

On the days when you’re all free, you go cloud gazing, enjoying silence, as your watch the clouds and get lost in your daydreams, happy that you have three friends to hangout with like that

Takemichi brings you your favorite drink and foods, memorizing all your favorite things and little habits as your best friend

Whenever you laugh together, your laughs makes each other laugh even harder

Hugs you and reassures you that he’s there for you whenever you need it

How do you help each other confess to your crushes?

Well with him, you were the one that had to push him to make a move on Hinata–he was a lost cause without you and would still be single to this day had you not encouraged him to confess

As for Takemichi, he fakes it till he makes it, giving you all this advice from his own relationship experience, even though half of it isn’t helpful at all

Hina usually gives him the right words to say and he relays them to you, pushing you to at least try confessing because you never know what the other person may feel as well…you’ll never know till you try

EVENT REQUESTS ARE CLOSED

REGULAR REQUESTS ARE OPEN :D

Personality

Ciella is a very quiet, but friendly young woman, always doing her best to be as polite and approachable as possible upon initial meetings. …After she’s done staring off in silence, that is. She is highly observant with others as well as her surroundings, showing herself to be a generally patient and resourceful individual. She’s also a humble person for the most part, shown in a lot of her behaviors. She brushes off her talent as unnecessary upon inquiry, and down-plays any great acts of assistance or otherwise as being ‘not much’. She enjoys being helpful, as she wants to see others happy and thriving, with her mind-set being one of group harmony. If it seems that outcome is impossible, however, then she knows to back away and let things run their course. Ciella’s drawn to the frightened and meek, wanting them to feel included and cared about. She sees herself in that part of them, causing that attraction. Though, she knows to back off if she needs to.

Alternatively, she has a tendency to drop the polite and quiet schtick at times in favor of a more mischievous side. However, this is only around those she trusts most. Otherwise, she is awkward and slow in conversation. Even with that in mind, however, Ciella is no push-over. She’s not the type to sit quietly when there’s trouble afoot, and she’s more than willing to intervene if someone is causing problems. She can be very out-spoken and bold depending on the situation, molding her actions to each circumstance as best as she can. She prefers avoiding conflict if possible.

Though, that mind-set will go out the window if someone gets on her nerves enough or triggers a meltdown. Stubborn folk who cause unnecessary issues and quarrels irritate her to no end, and if someone ignores her attempts at mitigation long enough, she can become brash, fussy and rather annoying. Or, on the worse side of things, can become explosive and abruptly aggressive in short bursts, matching and even surpassing the chaotic energy in whatever moment it occurs in. At this point she can be childish and petty, doing things such as trying to intimidate the aggressors or even trying to pick physical fights. Though, even in her agitated state, she’s smart enough to pick and choose those fights wisely.

During her Hope's Peak Days, she attended the Academy as a transfer student from America, being scouted specifically as part of an experimental Global Program.
