a/n: surprise 🦅 @justalildumpling approved btw

TEASER BELOW THE CUT (APPROX. 500 WORDS)

Younghoon had never been tardy to your tutoring sessions last year, so you weren't surprised when you saw him seated at your usual table in the corner. He glanced up from his phone as you walked in, waving. There was a blue colored beanie over his head and a brown corduroy jacket draped over his shoulders.

He noted the container in your hands and his eyes widened like saucers. “You did not.”

“I told you I would save you a piece,” you said sheepishly as you set the container down in front of him and took a seat.

“You—” His bottom lip jutted out. “I can't accept this.”

“You have to. It has your name on it,” you insisted, pointing out the little “Younghoon” scrawled on the side in Sharpie with a smiley face. It was customary in your household to write names on containers if they weren't already color coded or marked with a label. Label makers cost more than Sharpies did, and most of the time, your family didn't mind scrubbing the ink off if needed.

Younghoon's smile was sweet like the pastry sitting in the Tupperware. “I literally made French toast as soon as we stopped texting.”

You laughed. “No way.”

“Yes way! I dragged Hyunjae's ass out of bed,” he told you with great energy, eyes alight as he recalled his late morning antics to you. “I really didn't expect that you would bring me a slice, Yn, you sweetheart.”

“We had lots of leftovers and I just knew the most enthusiastic bread fanatic I knew had to try some of my big brother's toast,” you told him, pleased with his reaction.

He seemed at a loss for words; he just kept looking at you like you hung the stars in the sky, and you wondered how you could replicate this reaction over and over again. “Thank you,” was what he settled on. “I—” He gestured to the container, to you, to the container, “It means a lot.”

“You're welcome,” you said simply.

Younghoon heaved a great sigh and stood up. “Now I have to buy you some snacks—no. Yn, sit your ass down.”

Your eyes widened a comical amount and you plopped yourself back onto the chair.

His lips wiggled as he held back a smile. “Don't move.”

“You don't have to do this, Hoon,” you shook your head as he began making his way over to the aisles.

“What's that rule in chemistry? Energy can neither be created nor destroyed?” He queried from within the drinks aisle.

“The first law of thermodynamics,” you supplied. “It's not just chemistry though. It's prevalent in all the sciences.” You weren't sure where he was going with this.

“Yeah, well—” He paused. You couldn't see him from where you were, but even the rustling noises stopped. “Shit, that's not the right rule.”

You bit back a laugh. Oh, he was too adorable.

“What's the one where equal and opposite and…?”

Your brain tripped. “Uh, the—the 'for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction’ one?”

More crinkling. “Aha! That's the one. Yeah, so for your actions, I must do as the physicists do, and react accordingly.”

Some of my lithuania headcanons

1. A good part of his issues with Feliks stem from hanlon's razor where he attributes some of the stuff Feliks does that makes him crazy as Feliks is being an ass rather than Feliks is dumb sometimes.

2. He can be a bit of a control freak regarding how things get done which really developed while living with Ivan and everyone where he wanted to have as much control of his situation in an environment

3. He blames his outdated knowledge of pop culture on the Soviet era but no one really buys it because it's been 30 years and literally no one else has that problem.

4. Mainly swears in Lithuanian, not sure if he thinks that way people won't understand and if that's the case we'll Raivis and Feliks in particular understand everything he's saying

5. He can hold a grudge for a surprisingly hard time

6. He claims to dislike cats but this is not true in the slightest

7. The day he gets a label maker is the day he becomes the happiest man on earth

This! You get him!

When I was sleeping Some glee-high, prank-fancier Snuck into my house On powdered sugar tiptoes And replaced the clocks.

The numbers are gone Instead their impassive faces are Ringed by eleven ‘NO’s And a single ‘yes?’

The question mark’s eyebrows waver.

This joker must be practised Their chocolate-dipped chicaneries Have unmoored me.

What is the time? What is it time for? It is time for NO It is NOT O’CLOCK. I had appointments. Once.

I try to arrange To meet friends at ‘yes?’

The clock’s hand tickles past The last NO I brew coffee to bolster myself

Coffee is full of possibility.

By the time it’s drunk I look up and it’s NO again.

I slink apologetically into dms To cancel

The practical joker Has fiddled with my autocomplete

“Help me. I hate myself. Help me. Bums.” The text reads.

Another morning sneaks In and out of my window. In the afternoon, I notice Every item in my house Is labelled:

“5 minutes.” “An hour.” “2 days” (the washing machine).

All the labels lie In neat courier.

Every task I need to do Takes twice the stated time. I never remember this.

I go online to buy supplements That ads tell me, With their salted caramel flavour smiles, Will make time solid again.

In my purchase history: A novelty clock. A label maker. At least two orders for the supplement From last year.

Some suited boggart In my brain Laughs at me. This is most impractical.

Umm not sure if your taking requests but could I get a Jason the toy maker x adhd reader. I just found out I have adhd and I kinda want a comfort headcannon for it. Sorry if your not taking requests have a good day. DRINK WATER.

You don't have any idea how happy I am for having a Jason request, he is literally my fave pasta and probably the reason I'm still so active with creepypasta lol.

On another note, I know how you are feeling. A diagnose, be it a new one or the first one, is always a bit scary, but I assure you your life will only get better from now, OP!

Now onto out favorite Toymaker, shall we?

Jason the Toymaker x ADHD Reader

Jason, with most people, is a meanie. But when it comes to you? Oh dear he is the sweetest, most sappy and even suffocating at times lover you could have.

He is also very overprotective of you. So when you got your diagnose, his head started thinking in a 101 things that ADHD could mean. He genuinely had no clue, he is not used with psychiatry as he is with psychology (for his reasons) so he was a bit confused.

Though after knowing that 1) you are not going to die from it and 2) what it actually is, he is quick to do anything at his reach and maybe even over it for you.

Oh you have a hiperfixation on a specific topic? He is buying and making you plushies and dolls of it.

You are on a very hyper day and is having trouble with forming a coherent line of thought on a conversation? Oh he can talk for you, no problem.

It will, at first, seem like he is babying you and pampering you too much, and if you don't mind that, he will continue with it.

But if it does bother you, he will notice. He notices every little change, sometimes even ones you yourself don't, and he will instantly go on a spiral of what is making you be bothered.

He is not afraid of changing his entire way of being just for you, he did it for people worth way less than you, so of course he would only do his best to Hsi favorite doll!

Jason has a tendency of misunderstanding and going on spirals in his head with what he thinks you like and want or not, mostly if you are changing a hiperfixation or if you are in a very hyperactive day, so make sure to be specific with him. If you don't he may end up spending a bit too much on the wrong things for you and making a scene as if it was someone else's fault (you know better by now)

When it comes to forgetfulness and your attention span, he has a very good way of always making sure you are on track. Everything that is not obvious what it is is labelled, just like how he has alarms for every important thing you may need a reminder of.

It is common to see a blue door appear in your room, just for Jason to get out with a full meal in arms, just for you. He will always cook it himself, as to make sure it is perfect. He can't have it not being perfect for you and your taste.

Even on the most frustrating of days, he is there with you. He will embrace you firmly, and whisper sweet comforting words in your ear.

"Darling, you are doing great, no need to feel bad, okay?"

"I'm sure we can work what is wrong later, why don't I make you a new plush?"

"Maybe today isn't the day, but you know what it is? A perfect day for a shopping trip."

It may not be much, but his words are so full of love and of care for you, that most times it does help a tad bit.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, don't let him get too excited when doing stuff for you, he might end up making his toy shops bankrupt and he also might end up in debt. He gets carried away on making you feel appreciated, but he still needs the for you two haha!

I hope this is good enough! Rough days for me, but writing for Jason always makes my days better.

i don’t buy that you genuinely understand how fucked up mage oppression is. f*nris fully supports genocide and doesn’t acknowledge that anyone but him has suffered.

I originally wasn't really planning on responding to this because, 1) it's been a really long week and i'm sleep-deprived; 2) I have no idea what brought this on and I low key suspect this is just trying to bait me, but you know what, I will answer it seriously and in good faith, because there are a few things I want to say.

I wrote a bit about mage oppression, I've reblogged other people's posts discussing and advocating mage rights, I'm staunchly pro-mage, anti-Circle, and I'm aware of how fucked up the Chantry and the Circles are as institutions that perpetuate abuse and ongoing genocide of mages. However, I need to emphasize that while the plight of mages can be used as a metaphor of systematic violence and discrimination that occurs in real life, it is in and of itself a completely fictional struggle. The information that can be gathered about it exist only within and is limited to the fictional context of the Dragon Age franchise. Saying that I don't genuinely understand a fictional struggle is kind of redundant because I'm obviously not a Circle mage in real life.

But I honestly don't know why you associated Fenris with the Chantry's abuse of mages when he's just as much of a victim of systematic oppression as Anders and the mages of Southern Thedas are. I suppose you are referring to Fenris joining the Templars in 'The Last Straw' if you don't have enough friendship/rivalry points with him, but that's a totally conditional outcome based on game mechanics. It's not unavoidable, and there are plenty of players who have World States where Fenris fights alongside Hawke to defend the mages.

Fenris also carries so much guilt over the Fog Warriors, and it's a source of trauma for him. He only confides the story in Hawke in Act 2 after you unlock 50% friendship/rivalry, and it's clear when he confides the story in Hawke he sees the killing of the Fog Warriors as a mistake that he deeply regrets. He does not want to kill. But all his memories of his previous life were erased when he got the lyrium markings, and for a long time the only sense of identity he had was being Danarius' weapon and executioner. It takes him a long time and a lot of strength and hard work to build a sense of identity past what Danarius tried to make him to be, and his character arc where he heals and grows past all that, and he raises his sword to help and defend the mages of the Gallows, is all the more significant and powerful, compared to the story outcome where all his healing and growth is undone and he reverts to just becoming an executioner again.

Fenris and Anders have that in common: Anders, too, was labelled as a "monster" by the Chantry just by being born a mage, and he had to work so hard to unlearn all that hateful rhetoric, and accept that his magic was a gift and not a curse from the Maker. Both Fenris and Anders are spending so much energy in rebuilding their identity past what their abusers tried to make them to be, and they both understandably lash out from the stress of it, but that doesn't mean either of them don't care about others or are blind to others' suffering.

I think the whole "Fenris vs mages" thing is short-sighted; he's suffered just as much and has very similar experiences and struggles as the mages of Southern Thedas have. Personally, I think Fenris and Anders should have teamed up to demolish the power systems that abuse and exploit their people together, but BioWare are cowards. 🙂

#friendly reminder that this is a pro-mage and pro-fenris blog #if the fenders banner wasn't enough of an indication #warning for fenris hate from anon #but not from me #i'm here to defend and cherish my boy #fenris my beloved #asks #anon

[ID: ArtisXan's logo, a brown circle with a digital drawing of a sunflower inside of it. Written on top in white script font reads "ArtisXan". /id]

Welcome To ArtisXan!

About:

ArtisXan is a small business owned and operated by queer, disabled, neurodivergent, trans individuals. We sell a wide range of items, including discreet and fun chewlrey made of body-safe silicone intended for use by teens and adults.

Xan has been crafting since they were in middle school. They shifted focus from knitting to digital art. The chewelry business started when Xan found that having a body-safe silicone necklace was a great way to help them stop biting their nails, but could only find bulky designs that stood out. They used their own style to start assembling necklaces that were subtle and matched their aesthetic while still providing the physical stimulus of the larger designs. Since then, they have expanded from necklaces and bracelets to keychains, zipper pulls, and pens.

FAQ

Who is this good for?

These are especially useful for people who need items to fidget with, pick at, chew, squish, pull, or stretch! All the chewelry is made using materials that can be cleaned and are body-safe. Any item can still be a choking hazard, so these are not intended for young children or individuals who may be at risk for swallowing objects.

Are these chewable?

Yes! All of the beads we use on the fidget chewelry are made from food-grade silicone and can safely be chewed!

Where can I buy these?

You can find all of them on Xan's Etsy store! It is under the same name as their TikTok and Instagram (ArtisXan)! Their work is also in physical stores in Wisconsin.

Can I use these even if I'm not diagnosed, or am not neurodivergent?

Absolutely! Chewelry is not limited to any specific need or diagnosis. You can wear it just because you like the way it looks, or feels!

Do you make the beads yourself?

With two exceptions, our beads come from other suppliers. We don't have the facilities to make our own beads. We buy them from a combination of distributors and also directly from manufacturers. However, we did run a kickstarter to make two custom beads in collaboration with an artist who works with body-safe silicone! These are the morel mushrooms and the moon phase beads.

Are the other designs yours?

Yes! The stickers, art prints, pins, and other items are designed by Xan!

Can you make custom pieces?

We can customize some of our items, yes! We are happy to work with people to make pieces they'll be happy with, such as personalized pronoun chewelry! We are restricted to the beads we have and the prices may vary but we will always do our best to find what works best for you!

Will you ever make [insert bead shape here]?

We work hard to find pieces that suit Xan's brand and what people request! But we can only make things that manufacturers have created so we have a somewhat limited scope of options. However we are always looking for new beads and frequently find ones that hadn't been out before!

Why is [insert piece] more expensive?

Some of the beads we use are more expensive than others and so to offset the price we have to adjust the price a bit! We do our best to make sure that all the pieces are still within an affordable range for as many people as possible! And we do weekly giveaways to give more people a chance to get pieces even if they can’t afford them.

Can you make it without the small bead at the bottom or string it differently than shown?

Absolutely! Feel free to leave a note when you purchase to let us know you'd prefer a knot at the end, or for the main bead to be strung sideways without a knot or bead below it!

Why are are some of the pride necklaces different than the flags?

Some flags use so many colors, or so many shades of the same color, that we can't get enough of the beads to make the flag exactly, or to make the flag at all! For the Sunset Lesbian Pride and Aromantic pride, we have not been able to find body-safe beads that match the rest and come in different shades of orange, pink, and green, so some colors get combined for those designs. We keep an eye out for bead colors though!

Why don't you have a pride flag/pronoun necklace for [blank]?

Either we haven't had anyone request them, no one bought them when we did sell them, or they are ones we can't feasibly make. For example, we love the Progress Pride Flag but if we tried to make it we would run out of space for all the colors and it would be way too expensive for people to buy! (We do have a Progress Pride focus bead though!)

You can always contact us if there is a pronoun you want to use, or to ask if we could make a flag. We are willing to try!

What kind of bead should I get?

It depends what you want to use it for! The higher durability beads are best for biting and can take more heavy-duty fidgeting. Squishy beads are better for twisting and pinching. Textured beads are good for picking and rubbing.

How often do you make new designs?

We release new items and themes on a regular basis. Patreon and Discord users can get previews of what is coming out soon, and even suggest ideas. The chewelry depends on what we can source, but we continue to look for new beads. Xan designs stickers and other art frequently, and now that we have had a successful kickstarter we are open to the idea of making more unique beads.

Just a few of our items for sale:

Pride Fidget Jewelry Necklace (Currently 27 options!)

[ID: Photo of 9 necklaces in pride flag designs. The beads on each necklace are in order of the stripe they represent. From left to right, top to bottom is lesbian, gay rainbow, polyamourus, bisexual, pansexual, polysexual, Sapphic, aromantic, and asexual. The polyam flag necklace has a golden star bead at the base. The bi-, pan-, and polysexual necklaces have a black star at their bases, and the Sapphic necklace has a white flower base bead. The sunset lesbian and aromantic pride necklaces have multiple shades represented by one bead. /id]

[ID: Five pronoun necklaces lined up. From top to bottom the necklaces are "THEY/THEM, SHE/HER, HE/HIM SHE/THEY, HE/THEY" A circular black bead takes the space of the slash. The letter beads are white cubes with black letters. /id]

[ID: Four styles of morel mushroom items on a marbled background. From left to right are a pen, a key chain, a zipper pull, and a necklace. The morel bead is a pale base with a warmer tan to create the textured mushroom cap. The brown pen has a morel and a sunflower bead above the grip. The keychain has a sunflower, a light green leaf, and a morel on a black cord. The zipper pull has a morel by itself, and the necklace has a morel and a round black bead base. /id]

[ID: Eleven moon phase design items. Clockwise from the upper left are keychains in silver, gild, and blue, necklaces ins silver gold, and blue, a pen in silver, three zipper pulls in blue, gold, and silver, and a holographic silver sticker in the same design as the focus bead. The focus moon bead is circular, with a stylized sun at the center, surrounded by the moon in eight phases. The keychains have a black crescent moon and silver star on either side of the focus bead. The necklaces have a round silver base bead. The pen is black, with a silver star, a black crescent moon, and a silver focus bead above the grip. /id]

[ID: Photo of a hand holding a sticker of a leaf-patterned yellow water bottle with a black top. Black text over the bottle reads "Emotional Support Water Bottle" /id]

Safe Sex Toy Materials

Why Silicone…

There are a lot of things that go into making a quality product.

But first and foremost it starts with quality ingredients/materials. That is why we at Faux Phallus will only ever use bodysafe Platinum Cured Silicone and we'll explain why...

Unfortunately the industry to date is still unregulated. This is never more apparent than in the case of adult toys. Not worried yet? You should be, as long as sex toys are labeled as 'novelty items' big corporate companies can get around using questionable materials.

There are a long list of materials in sex toys that are a cause for medical and safety concern, even if your favorite toys are made of materials known to be safe. Some of these products can contain chemicals or oils that soften the material to make them more pliable.

There are still sex toys being produced that contain phthalates even though these have been known for years to cause issues, but phthalates aren’t the only harmful chemical being used.

There are sex toy materials that have never been proven toxic yet are still softened with oil (grades and types unknown), these materials can still break down and become unstable, and can still be porous enough to harbor bacteria, mold and transmittable viruses.

Even if the material is non-toxic when you first buy it, that may change over time as the material breaks down. Chemical changes can occur, oils can be released along with new odors, and more.

If your toy is not made of the materials listed below, then it can be potentially unsafe or downright toxic. Although some people may not notice any issue with using them, the larger majority can notice burning, stinging or other medical issues.

The list of the safest materials for adult toys would be...

Silicone Toys These come in two categories that refer to the curing agents used. they are either...

Platinum Cured Silicone “compatible for skin contact”

Tin Cured Silicone “is not compliant with food or skin”

If a company tries to call their silicone a “Blend or Mix”, be very cautious and ask yourself what its blended with?

Some of the other benefits of silicone are that it's allergy-friendly, nonporous, hydrophobic, phthalate free, durable, easy to clean and sterilize. It's odorless and doesn't suffer from shrinkage.

I myself have bought toys in the past that have shrunk in size (I'm talking inches in length and girth have been lost) when you buy a 9" toy and a couple of years down the track it is 7½" you know its deteriorating.

Wooden Toys can be very safe, if the finish is medical grade.

Stainless Steel Toys as long as they are medical grade stainless they're very safe.

Austenitic 304 and 316 stainless steels are considered surgical or medical-grade stainless steels

Glass Toys as a material is safe, but be aware of cheap brands that don't anneal, annealing is a long process that makes the glass extremely tough. Un-annealed glass won’t be overly fragile, but it needs to be handled with care. Cheaper brands may also paint glass which needs to be avoided unless you can verify the paint is safe.

Ceramic Toys are safe, so long as they are glazed and kiln-fired. The glaze keeps the toy non-porous. Although it is worth noting if the surface has a crack it can be porous and harbor bacteria so care needs to be taken with use and storage.

Out of all these materials silicone is the only one that is flexible, making inserting into the body the most comfortable experience, but by all means the other materials have their place in the industry. It'll all come down to your personal preference.

Casting…

It is defiantly worth noting... Silicone is a 2-part mix that needs to be well combined, after mixing a lot of air bubbles are trapped within the viscous material. To this end a reputable toy maker will use a vacuum chamber to draw all the air out of the silicone before it is poured into their respective molds.

In days past some makers would cure their silicone in a pressure pot, under 60psi of pressure to make these bubbles shrink down in size. Some have and still do unfortunately, let their toys cure without either of these precautions. But without these basic procedures, these air bubble pockets are somewhere bacteria and mold can be trapped and grow.

It��s worth doing your research to make sure your toy has been degassed.

Japan 2020 - Day 4

◀ Previous | Next ▶

Sightseeing shrines and temples in Northern Tokyo, then shopping in Akihabara.

Thursday 27th February 2020

Tokyo

Asakusa

The next day it was time for more history only this time it was outside and it was looking at old buildings. We went to Asakusa (浅草) and started off admiring the Kaminarimon Gate (浅草寺風雷神門) leading up to the Sensō-ji (浅草寺) Temple and the Pagoda. To get from the gate and the temple you walk through the Nakamise-dori Shopping Street (仲見世商店街) we wondered part way down but decided to get some food first.

Apparently we went to a Unagi restaurant Funachu although I don’t recall having eel. Then it was back to the shopping street leading up to the Hōzōmon Gate (宝蔵門) which is just before the Temple. Here people posed in front of the gate all dressed up, I now know that you can rent kimono to wear so I would love to do this next time.

To the left of the gate is the Five-Storied Pagoda (浅草寺五重塔) and after passing through the gate we finally reached Sensō-ji Temple

The old and the new, Tokyo Skytree towers over the skyline in the distance.

Akihabara

It may sound silly but I was excited to check out Japanese shops, one that had been recommended to me was called Bic Camera.

It’s a big department store that sells everything including but not limited to, fancy toilet seats, fancy ceiling lights, video games, label makers, rice cookers and big televisions. I didn’t actually buy anything but it gave me some good ideas of what I would like to get in the future now that I know it’s available.

As we were in Akihabara that can mean only one thing, retro video games! First up was Super Potato, as it has become the most famous retro store it’s also become the most expensive but still worth checking out, they didn’t seem to have any of the items that I was most interested in and flipping through games trying to work out what they are by the picture was very time consuming, another lesson learnt I need to know the exact title in Japanese so I can read it off of the spine for cd/dvd games and maybe even a picture of the front cover/label.

I found another store down the road which did have some of the bits that I needed including the disk system game that I had been after Doki Doki Panic (released as Super Mario Bros 2 in the west) there was another store I wanted to visit but I had lost track of time and it was now 8 pm and the store had closed so I would need to return another day.

I arranged to meet back up with Oli but not before another exciting stop for me in the form of BookOff, from my research this was an second hand shop equivalent to CEX in the UK, here I found another few to tick off like a Wii U, a drum controller and 2 Taiko no Tatsujin games. I was worried I had spent too long in there but Oli was running late too so it worked out fine, I took a train and met him back at the station near Hiroshi’s place and we stayed in for food.

Hiii

questions 2 and 3 of any Free! pairing olus makorin 🤭

oohohohooo yes!!! thank you thank you!

2. Who’s the messiest? The cleanest?

makorin:

I think that, for the most part, both makoto and rin are relatively neat and tidy. rin being tidy is something we’ve had canonically confirmed, and he has that sort of vibe about him, especially for stuff like clothes, the kitchen, and the bathroom. makoto also seems like a relatively tidy person, but only because he used to be more of a mess as a kid. and not even like stuff everywhere, food left out, dirty laundry everywhere, etc. it’s more like things getting put in the wrong place, leaving something out to be noticed later but growing around its presence instead, and a big one for him would be buying food and then forgetting it’s in the fridge because he can’t see it and then his poor batch of apples have gone rotten.

when he’s especially stressed, it leads to piles of stuff stacking up, which, of course, makes him even more stressed and suddenly it’s “oh no I need to find this important paperwork but I have 7 different stacks it could be in!” and now there’s paper everywhere as he tries to search for it and he’s near tears about it.

in the end, I could see rin buying him sticky tabs and label makers and folders and shelves to keep everything organized. sometimes things still get misplaced, but rin would take it upon himself to just casually pick up something out of place and go “yo, makoto, where does this live?” and makoto always finds the right spot for it. his favorite thing is the little blank magnets rin bought for them to doodle their produce on to indicate when something’s in the fridge so they use it before it goes bad.

and for my second pairing let’s dooooo hmmm momotori!!

now, hear me out, I know people would want to say that chaotic momo would be the one who’s the mess, and while he’s not necessarily neat and tidy, ai is the one who’s a total mess. similar to when we had it confirmed that rin is very neat, it was confirmed that ai is not a neat person. he tries to be! but as the week goes on, more and more stuff stacks up. the weekends are his time to clean up, but it gets awful before then. he also definitely tries to justify it with “it’s an organized chaos!” which is more or less true, but also… not. like if he’s searching for something on his own, he can find it pretty easily and without stress. if someone else asks for something specific from his tower of shit? the room will be a mess before he finds what they’re asking for, and he’ll be an apologetic nervous wreck about it the whole time. he definitely needs someone to kick him into gear in order to get things cleaned up, and for him to stay on top of it. and he definitely needs someone to say to him “no I promise you can throw this instruction pamphlet out, we don’t even have this device anymore.”

sadly I do not think momo is entirely that person, but! momo makes cleaning fun! he might gripe about it if he’s asked to do it, but when he’s the one suggesting it, he ends up going on a tear and makes the whole place spotless. he’s probably messier by way of like. food. not to any gross levels, but he’s left out a few too many dirty plates before and got way too excited about the cockroaches that ai was trying to scold him for. he’s also definitely neat about his interests, like stag beetles and other insects!! any jars and terrariums he has are super well kept and don’t have any buildup of grime, and all their food and supplies are super organized so he can treat them with the best care possible! that especially makes ai happy, because while he doesn’t dislike pyunski, he definitely does not want loose critters climbing all over the place.

3. Who fixes the vehicle after a breakdown?

makorin:

this is kind of a tricky one! because I can totally see makoto taking initiative and working it out, but also, god bless him, he’s kind of a moron. like, he could fix it, but it would take him 10x longer than rin bc he’s looking at the manual 17 times and can’t tell what’s what and keeps second guessing himself and getting scared because “what if I make it worse! what if I make the car explode” and rin sighs and says “you’re not gonna make it explode, makoto.” I think rin being basically on his own in australia at a young age made it easy for him to take charge and fend for himself, so he knows how to wing it and figure things out as he goes along.

honestly, I’m very tickled by the idea of makoto being unable to do the easy stuff like change a tire or refilling the wiper fluid etc. like it’s meant to be easy so he psychs himself out about it! however, if it’s something trickier than that, as soon as he gets over the immediate panic of the car breaking down, he can sit there and work out some fairly complex stuff, at least enough to get it going until they get to a mechanic. rin, on the other hand, I think handles the simple stuff like a pro. changes tires super fast, changes the oil frequently, is always ready to jumpstart a battery, but if it’s even slightly more complicated than your average mishap, he gets that deep furrow between his eyebrows and starts grumbling as he reads the manual and curses and gets all pissed off and frustrated. that’s when makoto’s “I need to take care of you” instincts kick in and his nerves completely dissipate as he helps rin through it step by step, leaving rin gaping at him like “he can’t even change a tire how did he figure this out.”

and let’s just do momotori again bc they’re cute!!!

I honestly think that, on their own, the both of them would be hopeless. ai is too much of a worrywart and momo would get distracted and be like “wait what’s this!?” and ai has to slap his hands away like “no don’t touch it we’ll never figure out how to put the pieces back together!!” like, maybe momo would try to brute force things, and think he totally fixed it, but in a way that’s like “you got the right answer but the process was completely wrong” so they still have to take it in to the mechanic to do it properly or else it’s going to be even worse later. ai would probably be fine for simple things, but he even struggles with changing a tire, so he usually just calls for a tow lol.

in the end, if they do like a cross-country road trip (by momo’s insistence) and if they broke down, I could see momo being stubborn and insistent on figuring it out on his own, like a fun crazy puzzle, and ai humors him while the tow company is on speed dial on his phone, and they end up stuck on the side of the road for hours but at this point ai is in too deep and he has to let momo see this through to the end, because he thinks he might actually do it! and he does! and momo scoops ai up and swings him around and they yell and cheer and get funny looks from the few other drivers that whizz by but ai is proud of momo and neither of them care about the looks!!

#THANK YOUUU SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG #I thought I’d have time to spit out some short answers at work but #things ended up getting Insane in the last 30 minutes #and now I am home. post minor meltdown #and this made me feel a lot better :-)#makorin #momotori #or wait do I tag it as #momoai #I can’t remember! anyway!#free!#ask

[wattpad link] [last chapter]

warnings: graphic description of murder

Norma’s POV:

Knowing none of them would be able to go back to sleep, the three of them carried on down the hallway. Even just thinking about Mateo’s corpse made Norma feel sick. It had only been about a week since she & everyone else had been trapped in this experiment, but it had felt like an eternity. She could barely even remember the other people who had died.

On the topic of death, Norma had wondered: were they actually dead? The answer to that, she was unsure, but Ollie had mentioned before Bennie’s execution that this whole “game” was just an experiment. With that circling around in her mind, Norma had hope that everyone who had passed would still be alive, somewhere.

Thinking about everyone else made Norma feel a little determined to get out of here. However, that determination quickly faded away when the group came across 2 doors.

On the left was a door labeled “Security.” The door on the right was labeled “Main Office.”

“Guess this is the end of the hallway.” Luca sighed. “What do we do from here?”

As Norma racked her brain thinking about what the group could do, Ollie spoke up. “I.. think I have an idea,” they said, fidgeting with something in their pocket. “but it might be risky.”

“Can’t be as risky as anything we’ve done in the past 2 hours.” Luca shrugged. “What have you got for us?”

Ollie pointed toward the Main Office door. “He’s in there.” they mumbled. “That’s where he usually is. Go in there & try to distract him.” “Distract him?” Norma questioned. “Yes.” they nodded. “Buy me a little bit of time.” “& what will you be doing?” Luca asked.

Ollie said nothing, approaching the Security door & opening it up. Why that door was unlocked, Norma had no idea. Ollie walked inside without another word.

Norma & Luca looked at each other.

“You ready, Norma?” Luca asked. “Ready as I’ll ever be.” Norma responded.

Luca’s POV:

Busting down the door, Luca & Norma entered the Main Office only to be greeted by a man already standing in front of them. He had light brown hair that went just a little bit past his shoulders, along with a little tophat that was half-&-half, black & white. His suit was the same. It was like he had no skin at all; he was made entirely out of almost raw-looking meat. He appeared to be wearing a green, fuzzy mask that covered the upper half of his face.

“Ah, Luca Warner & Norma Hart,” he said, in the exact same voice they had heard over the intercom everyday. “What a pleasure to finally meet you in person, despite the dire situation we’re in.” “Cut the small talk.” Norma crossed her arms. “Who are you?” “I am known simply as The Grunch. For the past 20 years, I have been working here in my laboratory, testing out many experiments. For fun.” “For fun?” Luca raised an eyebrow, unconvinced. “Yes, for fun!” The Grunch grinned. “Now, normally, I hate working with actual humans, but my ASM - short for Artificial Subject Maker - was already in permanent sleep mode, so I had to make do.”

Artificial Subject Maker? What did he mean by that? Frankly, Luca was confused.

“The look of confusion on your face tells me you have no idea what that means, huh?” he asked. “I wouldn’t expect you to. In a nutshell, the ASM used to make subjects for me to test on. Simple as that.” “It used to? Why would you shut it down?”

The Grunch rolled his eyes. “You two are a curious sort, aren’t you? Always asking questions.. Luckily, I love to over-explain. One day, roughly 16 years ago, the ASM had made a most marvelous subject: Test Subject 0LL13.”

Luca should hear Norma gasp, albeit very quietly.

“Test Subject 0LL13 - or as you know them, Ollie - was quite skilled when it came to testing. They could pass almost every test I set out for them. So, I shut down the ASM & decided to focus my time on studying Test Subject 0LL13.”

He grabbed a mug off of his table behind him & took a sip. “I gave them my most difficult tests, & they passed every single one. It was fascinating to me, how one being could do this. However, like most creatures on this planet, Test Subject 0LL13 started to grow unmotivated. Tired. Exhausted.” “So, you tested them every single day until they got burnt out?” “Precisely! That was not my intention, however. To make things right, I started rewarding them after every test. One of these rewards was a laptop, with limited internet access. Despite this limited access, Test Subject 0LL13 had found themselves on an online game: Town of Salem.”

Oh no.

“To my surprise, Test Subject 0LL13 had found themselves fascinated with this game, playing it during the very small amount of free-time they had. Inbetween tests, it was all they would talk about. This gave me an idea.”

Oh no. Luca could predict how The Grunch’s spiel was going to end.

“So, for the past 7 years, my goons & I have been preparing a very special experiment: the same one you all participated in! & despite this experiment being on a whim, there is some very interesting data I’ve found out during this!” “&.. what kind of data would that be?” “None of your business. Purely confidential.”

After taking another sip from his mug, The Grunch set it back down on the table. “Now, I’ve rambled on for long enough. How about we get down to business?”

The Grunch looked straight into Luca & Norma’s eyes. Luca felt chills run down their spine.

“You two are.. hm, how should I put this? Unpredictable.” he said. “Out of everything that’s happened throughout this little experiment of mine, your alliance was unexpected. I’m surprised you two are still alive, to be perfectly honest!” “..what do you mean by that?” Luca asked, sticking her hand in her pocket. “You two are the Veteran & the Investigator, yes? Very important town roles. It’s just fascinating to me that nobody tried to kill you two off.” “Nobody in this experiment knows ANYTHING about this game, dude!”

The Grunch sighed. “Yes, I suppose it would have helped if I had chosen people who actually knew anything about the game. That would have been a waste of time, though. It’s a lot easier to just randomly select people, you know- oh, & I’m rambling again! You’ve got me rambling.” “We didn’t do anything.” “Oh, whatever. Let’s actually get to the point now.”

The Grunch spun around & grabbed something off of his desk. He turned back around. It was a gun.

“I would have loved to announce that since you two are the only remaining town members, you’ve won, but you’ve found your way into my lab. Not to mention, you killed my goons.” “Well, maybe your goons shouldn’t have threatened us then.” Luca rolled their eyes. “It was necessary! Anyways, you have to die now!” “I don’t know anything about Town of Salem,” Norma said. “but I don’t think the winners get killed by a Grinch ripoff.”

“A GRINCH RIPOFF?!” The Grunch yelled. “I’m not a Grinch ripoff!” “What’s with the Grinch mask then?” “Well, I’d tell you, but you’re about to die, so really there’s no point.” he shrugged, aiming the gun at Luca & Norma. “Goodbye-” “Wait!” Norma perked up. “What?” “How do we know this isn’t part of the experiment too?”

The Grunch glared at her. “..the experiment is over. It was over the moment you broke into my lab. Oh, & speaking of the experiment,” he said, getting distracted again. “Everyone who died in the experiment is dead for real!” “..what??” “You didn’t know? Do you think I have virtual reality systems set up here? Of course not! This is all natural!” “So you took people from their lives & put them all in an experiment where they had to KILL EACH OTHER to win?” “Yea. That’s pretty much the gist of it.” The Grunch shrugged. “That’s fucked up. This whole thing is fucked up. & you said it was for FUN?” “Yes! & speaking of fun, you know what would be more fun than talking about this?” he grinned, changing his gun’s aim toward Luca. “Do I even need to guess?” they responded. “Probably not. Now, goodbye-”

Before The Grunch could do anything, the ground started shaking beneath them.

“Wh- hey, what’s up with this earthquake? This wasn’t on the news!”

Luca whipped out her gun & aimed it at The Grunch. “Goodbye, asshole!”

She shot the gun at The Grunch.

The bullet flew straight toward his chest, but in an unsatisfying manner, it was deflected.

“Oh, how funny.” The Grunch laughed. “You thought you could kill me with that puny gun?” “Uh.. yeah? I kinda did?” The Grunch chuckled some more. “Oh, you humans are silly. The only way you can kill me is with a very specific gun: the Mayor’s gun, in fact!” “How were we supposed to know that-” “Unfortunately, neither of you have the Mayor’s gun, so-”

A gunshot.

Before they knew it, The Grunch collapsed onto the ground, clutching his chest to prevent himself from bleeding out. Luca & Norma turned around.

There stood Ollie, with the Mayor’s gun. They had just shot it at The Grunch.

“May God have mercy on your soul.” Ollie mumbled.

The Grunch coughed up an unknown liquid, glaring at Ollie. “Y-You.. you TRAITOR!” he yelled, struggling to stay up. “You betrayed me! How- how COULD you? After all I’ve done for you?” “After all you’ve done for me? You’ve done nothing but study me, & put me through all of your stupid tests!” Ollie yelled back. “This entire experiment was for you!” The Grunch spat out some more ‘blood’. “I built this whole town, planned this whole thing for YOU- & this is how you repay me?”

Luca could see Ollie shaking.

“People died because of this experiment.” Ollie said, their voice cracking. “Real people died. & not only that, you-” they faltered, tears falling out of their eyes. “You took my memories away.. & for what? So I would comply with the rules of this sad excuse of a test?”

The Grunch chuckled as the walls of the building started to crack. “I took your memories away because I knew you’d rat me out. & I was right - the day you got your memories back, you told everyone it was all just a test. You-”

The building was crumbling apart around them. “We don’t have time for this!” Norma yelled. “The building’s gonna collapse on us if we stay in here any longer!”

“What do you mean it-” The Grunch paused, thinking for a second. “THE SECURITY ROOM!” he screamed, glaring at Ollie. “DID YOU SHUT DOWN THE SECURITY?”

Before Ollie could answer, The Grunch grasped onto Ollie’s ankle. They tried to shake him off, but he was too strong. “If I’m going down, SO ARE YOU, BRAT!”

A piece of the ceiling above them roughly around the same size of a baseball fell down right next to Luca. Acting without thinking, she grabbed the ceiling piece & threw it right at The Grunch, hitting him right in the face, hoping it would make him lose the grip on Ollie. Unfortunately, his hand was still firmly grasped on their ankle.

The Grunch turned toward Luca, sending shivers down their spine. “How DARE Y-” he started, but was interrupted by another piece of the ceiling roughly the same size as a kickball hitting him right on top of his head, knocking him out. His grasp loosened.

“C’mon, let’s go!”

The group ran out of The Grunch's office, but found themselves lost pretty quickly. The fact that the entire building was falling apart wasn't exactly helping the situation. "This way!" Norma shouted, pointing toward a hallway. They all started running down the hallway, hoping that it was the right way.

Luca could see a door up in the distance. As the group got closer, she could see that it had the word “EXIT” written on it. Filled with determination to get out before getting crushed to death, Luca ran as fast as they possibly could.

Their heart was beating faster than it ever had, pounding in their chest. It was a horrible feeling to Luca. As the walls filled with more & more cracks, the group reached the door. Luca kicked it open with all their might, & they all stumbled out of the building down to the grass & dirt. Exhausted, & out of breath, they all turned around to face the building. They watched as it finally collapsed on itself.

It was no more. The building was no more. The experiment was no more. The Grunch was no more.

As they caught their breath, Luca could hear Ollie quietly sobbing, mumbling something that Luca wasn’t able to hear. Looking back at the now-destroyed building, Luca couldn’t help but think: they had made it out alive. Her, Norma, & Ollie all made it out. But everyone else that was in there? They’re gone for good now.

Luca felt sick. This whole experiment was fucked in the first place. Mateo, Beau, everyone who was forced to participate should have lived. None of them should’ve gone through that. What happened to them happened though, & Luca couldn’t go back in time to prevent any of it.

& what about the future? The 3 of them were out of the experiment, sure, but now they were lost in the middle of nowhere. They were lost, without access to any device they could use to call friends & family, & they had no idea how far away they were from anybody else. Luca had no clue what was in store for the 3 of them now.

Luca recalled something Ollie had said to them before. “We can use his technology to find your way home,” they had mentioned. That tech - whatever it was - was gone now, destroyed underneath the rubble. Luca looked up at Norma. Norma looked back at them.

“So, Luca..” Norma sighed. “How do you think we’re gonna find our way home?”

Luca really, really wished she had an answer for her. She wished she had an answer for anything. She didn’t, though.

“I..” they mumbled. “I don’t know, Norma. But I’m sure we’ll find our way soon. I promise.”

Note

I saw your post on stickering around the neighborhood and I had some suggestions if you’re worried about using your handwriting.

1) You can buy a custom stamp off Etsy or Amazon with your desired message and an ink pad and quickly ink a bunch of name tag type label stickers if you don’t want to use Sharpie.

2) You can buy a label maker off of Amazon (you can get ones for under thirty US dollars). You can even get one that uses laminated tape and/or an app to design the labels, so you don’t have to use your handwriting at all.

Happy stickering!

This is great, thank you!

My Top Posts in 2022:

Taking inspiration from this post I saw on my dash from @boldlyvoid:

I’m gonna tell you what color a handful of my comfort characters remind me of, but will provide no explanation as to why. (I agree with the characters and color associations she mentions, so they won’t be covered here)

1. Evan Buckley from 9-1-1 is a marigold yellow

2. Steve Harrington is like an olive green

3. Wanda Maximoff is like a pastel red. Not a full crimson, but soft like a little bit of pink is mixed into it to make it blushier

4. Matt Murdock is like baby kitten grey

5. Peter Parker in any form is baby blue, be it Toby Peter, Andrew Peter, or Tom Peter

6. Benedict Bridgerton is indigo

7. Remus Lupin is chocolate brown

8. Harry Potter is like Heineken bottle green (if you’ve ever seen a Heineken bottle you know what I mean)

9. Newt Scamander is like a rich lapis lazuli blue

10. And Percy Jackson is seafoam green

No I will not elaborate

My Personal Spencer Reid Headcanons

Part 1/?

The only things he knows how to cook before meeting you are Ramen and Box Mac and Cheese (and even then he still isn't very good at it)

He memorizes all of your clothing sizes so he can just tell people right off the bat for gift-giving purposes (or for him to get you things *wink wonk*) instead of having to ask you first

He genuinely enjoys hearing you talk, so he’ll ask questions that trigger info-dump sessions on purpose just to hear you ramble on about whatever hyper-fixation he asked you about, because you always do the same thing for him

He is ENDLESSLY fascinated by makeup, so if you’re the type of person who wears/knows how to do makeup, he will sit and just watch you do your makeup, occasionally asking what a product is for or what techniques you’re using

The books on his bookshelf are organized via the Dewey Decimal System, and you buy him a label maker for that express purpose so he can label the space on the shelf instead of having to put a bulky lamination on all of his books

Despite never wearing matching socks, all of his socks are organized by color (you helped him get divided drawer inserts for that)

He does not know and cannot for the life of him figure out how to play Snaps, Black Magic, or any of those other weird mind-numbing camp games, which you always laugh at him for whether you know how to play them or not

He can successfully fold a fitted sheet because his arms are so long, and it endlessly pisses off everybody

He still doesn't know how to use chopsticks

He dotes upon you whenever it's your time of the month, because he hates it when you don't feel good and he wants to help you feel better

Even though he tries his best to avoid germs, when he does get sick, he's the biggest man-baby imaginable and you have to drop everything to take care of him (even though you'd do that if he WASN'T a man-baby)

You somehow convince him to read Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Maze Runner, The Hunger Games, and all those other fantasy/dystopian fiction novels for kids and young adults, and even though he tries to act all cool and say they weren't as good as Chaucer or Vonnegut, he actually really enjoyed them

He sucks at remembering to drink water, so you have to get him an obnoxiously neon colored water bottle so he'll remember to use it

The only form of exercise he can do well and for a prolonged period of time is sit-ups, so he has pretty decent abs

He had no idea how to properly care for his wild curls until you came along and helped him research how to do it best

He likes podcasts, specifically ones about books, movies, and tv shows, but he does have a select few true crime podcasts that he likes to listen to, even though he's very familiar with most of the cases they discuss

He only gets an iPhone so he can receive pictures and videos of his godsons from JJ and Derek, and eventually so you can send him pictures and videos of your sons and/or daughters (also for certain word and math puzzle games that you download for him when he first gets it)

He really likes the home organizing shows they have on Netflix, and once you came home to find him Marie Kondo-ing the entire apartment

My Personal Matt Murdock Headcanons

Part 1/?

(And yes. I have discussed a handful of these with my beloved moot @leossmoonn before)

Due to his enhanced senses, he knows the perfect time to flip a pancake, never burns anything, always makes the most perfect toast, and he always kills flies on the first try

As much as he pretends to hate it because it’s kinda blasphemous, one of his favorite songs is Take Me To Church by Hozier. He also really likes Devil’s Advocate by The Neighborhood and (don’t tell anybody) Paper Rings by Taylor Swift

He’s really good with kids. Like, unnaturally good. Like, you’ll walk into a room and see him regaling your nephews with stories of Battlin’ Jack Murdock, or all of your nieces doing their best to put his hair in ponytails or “forcing” him to sing Disney songs with them (and melting when he actually gets really into it)

The most chivalrous little shit on earth. Always opening doors for you, pulling your chair out for you when you go out to eat, helping you out of taxis, kissing the back of your hand, shit like that. Simply because he loves hearing the heat rush to your cheeks

He’s annoyingly good at hide and seek, at least from a seeking standpoint because of his super weirdness. He can’t hide worth a damn, because he’s almost six feet tall and not that flexible, so he ends up trying to hide behind the big plant in your living room and you can just barely see the tiniest bit of his fluffy hair peeking out over the top of it

He’s a complete pansy when it comes to spicy food or strong flavors. The only spicy things he can kind of handle are Hot Cheetos or Takis, and even after those he has to chug like half a gallon of milk

He’s surprisingly good with animals. Like, say you’re at a petting zoo for a younger relative’s birthday party. You’ll end up finding him in some obscure corner of the animal pen with a baby goat fast asleep in his arms. Or if you’re at a family member’s house for a holiday and they happen to have a dog or a cat, you can bet the second he sits down that animal is going to make themselves at home on his lap or around his shoulders. It’s even funnier if the dog that picks him as their dog bed is huge, like you just walk into the living room to find him being borderline smothered by a very self-satisfied fully grown Great Pyrenees

His favorite times of year are the beginning of spring when all the flowers and trees are blooming, and the holidays because of all the yummy baked treats you’re constantly making that make the whole apartment smell like a real deal bakery

He can’t bring himself to go within 50 feet of a Bath and Bodywork’s or a Yankee Candle because of all the competing robust aromas, so he’ll just tell you what candle or bath product he’d like, because he physically can’t go near either of those stores without getting a wicked headache

After a particularly rough night out on patrol, you’ll most likely find him on the couch cocooned inside a weighted blanket with his expensive noise cancelling headphones over his ears, because sometimes the only way he can get calm enough to meditate is if he can’t hear anything and he doesn’t have any outside stimulation

He loves audio books, especially the ones where the narrator uses different voices to distinguish what character is speaking. Knowing this, you buy him the Harry Potter audiobooks, and it’s safe to say they quickly become his favorite because Stephen Fry is the MVP of character voices

Because his senses are so refined, you, Foggy, and Karen come up with a game where you give him five of the same thing but from different places or brands (like four black coffees from four different coffee joints and one homemade or five pints of vanilla ice cream from five different brands) to see if he can tell the difference between them. Annoyingly enough, he can, and it pisses you guys off to no end

He memorizes the heartbeats and walking patterns of the people he cares about (aka you, Foggy, and Karen), so he can pick you guys out of a crowd of thousands and instantly tell when there’s something wrong be it your heart rate is slightly irregular, your walking pace is accelerated, or god forbid you have a slight limp

Much like Anakin Skywalker, he can’t really handle the texture of sand (of course you quote that one scene whenever he mentions it just to mess with him), so he’s not the biggest fan of the beach. Then one year for a vacation you take him to your relative’s condo in Coquina Beach, Florida, and the second he feels how soft the sand is, he changes his mind about beaches, and you two decide to try and find the beach with the softest sand in the world

He loves it when you wear his clothes, especially his old Columbia sweatshirts or tees. Once when he came home, you were wearing one of his white work button ups and no pants, and he just about lost his remaining five marbles

He unironically loves VeggieTales, especially the Silly Songs with Larry. You’ve caught him humming “Oh Where is My Hairbrush?” to himself while he’s getting ready for work too many times for it to be a coincidence

He has a really good singing voice, but he only ever busts it out at a karaoke bar after a few too many whiskeys, and yet he still sounds coherent when you drunkenly usher him onto the stage. Once he sang “Hold Me While You Wait” by Lewis Capaldi, and the entire female population within the bar (and a couple of dudes, tbh) basically melted into the floor, because he has no business having the voice of an angel when he’s drunk off his ass

He likes going to museums with you that specialize in your niche interests just to hear you infodump to him about the stuff you already know and the new stuff you learn while you’re there, because he loves listening to your voice in any context

I Swear

(A Spencer Reid Fic)

Pairing: Spencer Reid x Platonic-ish Fem!Reader

Summary: Reader decides to clean the apartment, but she finds something of Spencer's that she was never supposed to see

Genre: Pretty angsty right in the middle, but it gets sweet and fluffy at the end, I promise

Warnings: Swearing, mentions of Spencer's no-no juice arc, mentions of the circumstances that CAUSED said no-no juice arc, crying, general ouchies.

A/N: This is for @imagining-in-the-margins' Roommate Challenge. I apologize in advance for any pain this may cause. And this is post-finale, but Reader doesn't meet Spencer until around the middle of Season 13, so she isn't fully aware of all the crap our favorite boi went through

Word Count: 1121

———————————————————————

When Y/N set out on her spring cleaning mission, she was not expecting it to end in tears. Well, she usually doesn't expect anything to end in tears, but especially not tidying up her shared apartment with her best friend.

Y/N is the owner of a very small and homey second-hand bookstore that just so happened to be Spencer Reid's very favorite place to go when he needed to de-stress after a rough day at work. One day while he was in about two and a half years ago, she helped him find a book he was looking for, they struck up a conversation, and they've been friends ever since.

About 6 months ago, Y/N's apartment building got condemned for a multitude of health and safety violations, and she didn't have anywhere else to go because all the apartments available for rent were too far away from her shop. She vented all of her frustrations to Spencer when he came into the shop that day, and he very generously offered to let her live with him in his apartment.

Anyways, Spencer was off at Quantico for what he assured her was only going to be a cut-and-dry paperwork day, so she decided to get some cleaning done, because between him being an avid reader, her making a living collecting and selling second-hand books, and both of them working so much, the apartment was starting to resemble a small post-apocalyptic library.

She reorganized the two large bookshelves (one for him and one for her), scrubbed the kitchen counters until they were spotless, emptied the fridge of any spoiled food, and wiped down all the surfaces in the bathroom. And she had to admit to herself that she did a pretty good job at making the apartment look habitable again.

Then Y/N started cleaning up the floors of her and Spencer's bedrooms so she could vacuum, and while she was picking up all of the mismatched socks strewn about in Spencer's room, she knelt down to make sure there wasn't anything under his bed, and she found a small wooden box with a clasp on it. She dumped all the socks into his hamper (while reminding herself to start on laundry later), then grabbed the box from under the bed to investigate.

She sat on the end of his bed, then undid the clasp and opened the box to find three small glass vials filled with clear liquid. Y/N's eyebrows furrowed, then she picked up one of the vials and turned it around to read the label. She almost dropped the box when she read the word "dilaudid" on the little sticker, and tears started coming to her eyes. Y/N knew that Spencer had been through a lot from when she first became friends with him, but she had no idea that he'd had these kind of issues, and that was probably on purpose on Spencer's part.

The front door opened, and she heard Spencer call out, "Y/N/N? I'm home!", so she used all of her resolve to contain more tears and slowly left his room while holding the little box. He hadn't noticed her come out of the room, and he continued hanging up his jacket while saying, "Hey, did you clean the apartment? It looks great! You know you didn't have to do that ri-...?", but he cut himself off when he saw Y/N standing in the living room with tear streaks on her face holding the object he hadn't even thought about in almost 3 years.

Spencer's face immediately fell, and he said, "You were never supposed to see that," which only made Y/N want to cry even more. She tried to fight it, but she broke down sobbing, and had to grab the back of the couch to stop herself from sinking onto the floor, because she knew that if she did, it would break Spencer's heart even more.

Spencer ran forward, gently took the box from her hands, then scooped her into his arms bridal style before carrying her to the couch and sat down with her. Y/N buried her face in his neck and cried harder than when her family had to send the dog they had since she was four across the Rainbow Bridge right before she graduated from high school, and Spencer could feel tears welling up in his eyes as well, because he'd never imagined seeing her this broken up over him.

After she had calmed down a little, she whispered, "Why didn't you tell me?", so he replied, "Because I didn't want you to see me as some fragile broken former addict. I just wanted you to see me as Spencer, the guy who nabs all the good books from your store before anyone else can get them, the guy who makes you watch Doctor Who with him all the time, the guy who teases you for not being able to handle Indian food, just... your Spence," his voice breaking at the very end.

Y/N looked up at him and said, "You'd still be my Spence if you had told me. Your past mistakes don't define the kind of person you are," before wiping her eyes and letting out a tiny sniffle. Spencer nodded and said, "It's a long story, but I know you won't judge me now, so... here goes nothing," with tears in his eyes.

He told her his whole story, about Tobias Hankle and his multiple personalities, about his kidnapping, about his struggle with substances, and about how ten years of sobriety were ripped from him when he was drugged and framed for murder in Mexico, and Y/N listened intently the whole time.

When he was finished, she asked, "And the box I found under your bed?", so he said, "I haven't even thought about it since before we met. I've been sober again for almost 3 years, and I'm not planning on giving that up again anytime soon, I swear," which made her smile before throwing her arms around him in a tight hug. He hugged her back, then kissed the top of her head before saying, "Thank you for being my friend," so she squeezed him even tighter and said, "Thank you for being mine," and they just stayed like that for a while.

Y/N said, "Wanna watch Doctor Who?", and he said, "I swear you can read minds sometimes," before grabbing the remote off the coffee table and going into HBO Max. Y/N snuggled into his side, and they watched the show peacefully for a few hours before falling asleep that way on the couch, more in sync than they ever have been before.

My #1 post of 2022

My Personal Eddie Munson Headcanons

Part 1/?

He always has you do his eyeliner before his shows with Coroded Coffin because he insists he’s terrible at it, but he really just likes how you sit on his lap and hold his face while you do it

This little shit is the biggest gentleman on the planet, and you wanna punch him in his stupid perfect face because of it. Always helps you step over puddles, always gives you his hand to get out of his van, and you haven’t opened a door for yourself when you’re with him since you first started dating

He tries to teach you how to play the electric guitar, but you’re horrendous at it. He has more luck with acoustic though, and when you get good enough to sing and play at the same time, he loses his shit because he taught you that and you’re amazing

This man is such a cuddle monster. Like, his 5’10” ass koalas around you the second you’re in bed or on the couch, and he buries his face in your neck to be as close to you as he possibly can (he’s only the littlest bit touch starved)

He has no idea how to react when you compliment him. He’s so used to being insulted and called awful names by all the douchebags at school, that when you brush hair away from his face and say “You have the prettiest eyes, Eddie”, he frickin melts like a popsicle on the 4th of July

He pretended to be annoyed by it at first, but now he openly loves it when you play with his hair and put braids in it and all that jazz

He loves it when you lay on his chest while he’s reading or sit on his lap while he’s writing out a new campaign for the Hellfire boys. He especially loves it when you ask him to read to you or offer up ideas about what bullshit to put the boys through at the next Hellfire meeting

He takes Will under his wing the second he meets him and makes him his Junior Dungeon Master. They combine forces and make the most elaborate campaign either of them have ever made based on their escapades with the Upside Down stuff. They even manage to get Max, Steve, Nancy, Robin, and Jonathan to design characters for it and play through it

He and the other Hellfire boys give you their old dice sets when they get all beat up and worn out so you can make crafts with them. Every member of Hellfire has a bracelet you made them with their respective dice sets, and they treasure everything you make them with every fiber of their beings

He’s really good at climbing trees. Like, you can blink and the dumbass is halfway to the top of the tree already. He says it’s because he likes to see the town from a different view point, but you know he just likes to show off

Metal may be his main wheelhouse, but he secretly loves Cyndi Lauper. You’ve caught him singing “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” in the shower on numerous occasions, but you never say anything about it

This man can’t keep his hands to himself worth any type of damn. He always has an arm around your waist or around your shoulders, always holding your hand, or he has his arms wrapped around your middle from behind while he presses kisses against your neck. He’s a leg man too, but y’all can jump to your own conclusions there

He taught himself how to knit once when he was stuck at home with chicken pox, and now you and the Hellfire boys have a collection of scarves, hats, and mittens he’s made for you, and they actually do a good job of keeping you warm in the winter months

He has a rock collection that he started way back in third grade, and everytime he finds a cool rock, he takes it home and puts it in a big Tupperware tub he nicked from the kitchen when he was little and first started his collection

He makes guitar pick necklaces from random abandoned picks he finds in the parking lot behind The Hideout, and he gives them to the people he cares about. So you have about 13 different ones, his uncle has a handful of them, and the Hellfire boys all have one or two

He begrudgingly allowed you to paint his nails black once, but then he realized he looked kinda cool, so now he always asks you to do them for him

He gave you one of his rings on a chain as a sort of promise ring situation because your fingers are too small to actually wear it

He secretly loves the movie Dirty Dancing, but nobody else besides you is allowed to know that, because he thinks it’s embarrassing. You think it’s cute though, and you always tell him “I’ll be the Baby to your Johnny any day, Eds”, which makes him blush
