#all that said this was surprisingly super wholesome

[always-a-joyful-note]

Me, reading the AtoZ story: None of these guys understand how romance or women (aka, they are literally just humans beings like yoursel - human beings just like anyone else) work. Somehow, this explains so much....

[lydscare]

Hi! Could you make a preferences/hc of the pro/hoo characters how they cuddle and/or sleep with there s/o?

cuddling hcs with pjo/hoo characters

a/n: these kinda went into general pda hcs, but hopefully it's still good tho

warnings: possible hints of angst + trama, cause who dosen't have it :')

reader tends to be gender-neutral //  my masterlist

annabeth

i feel like when cuddling w/ annabeth that there's not really a big spoon or little spoon posistion

it's mainly just your arms wrapped around each other, just a tangle of arms and limbs

dosen't really hug you too much in public but always needs a goodbye hug from you before you go somewhere

she also likes acting out as your pillow with you head on her chest/lap (she probably reads you a book too :))

bianca

her hugs are really comforting and warm

she always knows when you need one

she can just tell

she's memorized your body language to a t

might whisper some comforting words here and there

could make any surface feel soft when her arms are wrapped around you

calypso

i think she likes to be held more than to hold someone

she can hold you tho, and she's great at comforting you

likes to hum or sing you little songs and melodies

she likes when you play with her braid too

overall good experience

clarisse

i feel like she gives good bear hugs

she has some meatystrong arms so her hugs are kinda firm, like she's reminding you that she's there and no one can hurt you

her hugs are also surprisingly warm so they're extra comforting

connor

connor's hugs are a little more firm then travis's but still all the more comforting

he likes taking his time with hugging and cuddling

he likes spinning you around too when he gets excited

travis

travis hugs are very playful and warm

likes to come up from behind and give you a surprise hug

also moves around a bit when cuddling but it's fine, he just wants to get in a comfy position :))

also loves spinning you around

ethan

i kinda feel like he's a side hugger

so not too big on cuddling

he's not exactly avoidant of pda but he's not looking for it

might put his arm around you every once in a while

when cuddling he likes to be the big spoon, he finally feels like he can be of use and protect you from the cruel world :')

frank

gives the best bear hugs (both literally and metamorphically)

at first he's pretty awkward w/ hugging but grows to love it

he can shapeshift into just about any animal to have a different cuddling arrangement

one day you're being snuggled by a dragon, who's wrapped protectively around you, and the next you're holding a cute lil labrador puppy in your hands

needless to say it's an overall wholesome expierence :)

grover

the first time you hugged him, poor goat bby didn't know what to do

like where is he supposed to put his hands??

but after a while gets used to them

not to big of a hugger but enjoys it

has to get over the awkwardness of it at first tho

but afterwards enjoys it

just never sneak up on him

hazel

i don't know how else to describe her hugs other than sweet

her hugs are super comforting and grounding

just sneak up on her and give her a surprise back hug

she lets out the cutest giggle whenever you do it :')

even though she probably heard you coming

always wants to make sure you're comforting when cuddling, she dosen't want to overstep any boundaries of yours so

jason

not exactly looking for cuddles or pda in general, but he's not going to hate affections either

he'll most likely be wanting cudddles after a long day of praetor duties, helping at chb, or school

he won't want anything else, just to be held by you for a few good long minutes

with that being said however, he is more of a big spoon type of guy

leo

he's like a human furnace

always super hot warm

very comforting and cozy

he loves snuggling

in general he's a very touchy person so a arm's usually always around you

loves holding you

after a long day of working on little trinkets and fixing up things he likes to be held by you (arms around your waist, face on your shoulder)

play w/ his hair pleaseee it's very soothing

luke

sturdy?

he has some pretty strong arms so his hugs are a bit firmer than he'd honestly prefer

likes to put his hands around your waist with your hands placed over his

also he likes when you just play with his fingers or stroke his arms lovingly

((also has a really good grip

nico

he isn't much of a hugger, to other people anyways

but with you, he practically craves your touch

it always has to be in a closed off space tho

he's not the biggest fan of pda, but alone with you,,

he practically clings onto you like a lil koala bear

loves wrapping his arms around your waist and burrying his face in your neck

he just needs someone to touch every once in a while to keep him grounded :')

side note: he is pretty cold, like ALL the time so ye

percy

percy the pillow jkjk

fr tho, he likes just placing his head on your chest as his arms around your waist when cuddling

also is a fan of getting his hair played with

he goes back n forth between lil spoon and big spoon

he also just finds your presence itself very comforting

and your smell

goes to sleep with the biggest grin on his face

piper

another hummer

she likes it when you braid her hair

she also like brushing her nails through your hair and scratching at your scalp

she likes holding you more than being held

can be very comforting

a quick hug from her also brings a great feeling

rachel

appreciates signs of pda in general

enjoys holding you and playing w/ your hair

can just walk up to you, give you a hug and walk away randomly

she is moreover a quality time person sooo

reyna

not really a hugger tbh

she has lots of walls built up sooo

she's also not much of a physical person

but she might be good with a hug or two after a long day

if she were to cuddle she'd be pretty stiff at first and need to ease her way into it

thalia

likes wrapping her arms around your neck and just looking at you with so much adoration in her eyes

she really likes being held from behind when sharing a bed

also likes to play with your fingers

will

his hugs are so warm and comforting (obvs)

i feel like he'd be the type to just be gossiping w/ you while you two are tangled together, he's playing with your fingers and all but still has your undivided attention

probably majority of the time os the big spoon but would like being the little spoon on especially hard and stressful days

zoë

as much as i looove zoë, i don't think she is much of a hugger :'(

she's very stiff at first bc she isn't really used to soft touches or touching in general

but then eventually relaxes and will end up not wanting you to leave her

she likes when you play with her hair

she can give good back rubs

she proably will end up being the little spoon on most days tho

also gets tired and ends up wanting cuddles

it helps give her a space of calmness after a long day out hunting

it's soothing

[diagonal-queen]

how i think the Obey Me! brothers would hug

lucifer: is there such thing as polite hugs? because that's how lucifer would hug you. he definitely would NOT hug you at first, but after you two get closer he will just melt into your arms if you offer a cuddle. he might even fall asleep for just a second (give my mans a BREAK) he gives you forehead kisses on occasion when he's drunk or just...super clingy (extremely rare! cherish it)

mammon: i might be biased, but...🤤🤤 ohhh this man gives the best hugs. he's just sweet and goofy and warm...augh....he hugs you so tight like he'll lose you, and gives you kisses on your neck and shoulder if you're dating...he smells so nice and makes you feel so loved...ujhhgnmnmmnnghhhhhhhh omg omg omg

leviathan: levi would absolutely not initiate hugs at first either, because he's an awkward cringefail loser like me. even after you guys get to know each other, he's still kind of stiff and hesitant with hugs. that's not to say that he doesn't like you hugging him, he's just garbage at it lmfao. the same can't be said for other things though, so just be patient ;)

satan: satan is straight up the only normal one out of these guys so his hugs are also like...normal and nice. they're quiet, comforting and just nice. they don't go for too little or too long a time, he rubs his hands on your back and rests his chin on your head. if he's feeling extra clingy he nuzzles your hair. he likes your scent! you can always calm his wrath with a nice hug.

asmodeus: asmodeus's hugs are surprisingly wholesome. he brings you into his arms, tucks your head beneath his chin, and coos at you softly. he also gives you gentle kisses on the head sometimes, it's all surprisingly gentle and intimate for the literal sex demon. he definitely values intimacy that isn't sexual too, and if he knows you enjoy it then he's much more than happy to oblige <3

beelzebub: he's so gigantic and buff he doesn't realise how strong he is. he squishes you by accident. you WILL suffocate in his man titties. it's like hugging a ginormous, rock-hard teddy bear, because tbh that's just what beel is. in spite of that you'll never feel safer than you do in beel's arms. he's the go-to if you feel really sad (or if, for sensory reasons, you need to be physically crushed)

belphegor: he doesn't even cuddle you, you cuddle HIM. he just falls asleep on you T-T. it's not his fault you're so cosy!! while he's asleep he clings onto you so hard, wraps his arms and legs around you like you're a body pillow. he nuzzles his head on your neck, chest or stomach while he's sleeping. belphie is so soft he's essentially a big cushion himself.

note: lmfao guess my favourite brother challenge (impossible) um anyway. my obey me brainrot is returning so maybe expect a couple of mammon thirst posts from time to time 😓

[kyber-crystal]

Hi! May I request a sequel to "my little love" for how jake responds to max calling him dad/daddy for the first time? or jake being cute with max and your shared kids (bc i KNOW y'all don't stop after the first one lol)

i'm sorry it took me so long to respond to this but HELL YEAH and i'm extra sorry i didn't post this for a while b/c i wasn't sure about how it turned out in general...anyways, i hope you enjoy : ')

my future || jake "hangman" seresin

summary: as written above! this is a sequel to the headcanon my little love, which i LOVED writing w my whole heart.

settling into married life was surprisingly not difficult. you'd already spent so much time around hangman that forever felt so comfortable

now everyone is so happy and in high spirits. but max is significantly happier than them all and it's so wholesome to see

rooster, or "fairy godmother" (max likes to call him the latter....yes...godmother, not godfather. you don't know why but it's so funny, especially when you watch rooster react to this), is always there to take care of your kiddo when you're busy

he let him sit in his F-14 and take a picture with him :)

and you're paranoid and worrying the whole time but rooster's like "relax, i got him" and he's super chill about it

"he's gonna be a pilot. better than you, even," you leaned over and gave your husband a look

"i think so!"

the kid lives and breathes top gun. and now that you've moved in with hangman, you're only a few minutes' walk from base, making it easy to go back and forth.

when you're working at the hard deck, penny sits him by the nearest booth with a milkshake and some old books and toys

if one of the uncles or phoenix wasn't busy, they'd come over to keep him entertained

and you know when hangman's done for the day when you see max break into his signature grin. you've noticed that you only really see it around him

so you're celebrating his fourth birthday today. it's insane, because he already speaks like a six year old (hangman says it's because you're also smart af. but, being the cocky lil shit he is, fanboy likes to take the credit for it. i mean, the guy majored in biochem, so he knows his stuff)

it's an off day for everyone, so they're able to come help decorate the place. you had the idea to surprise your son, so while everyone was getting ready, fanboy was with max by the beach, playing soccer. they'd come back in an hour and boom!

by the end of things, the hard deck doesn't look like the hard deck anymore. it looks like max's paradise—a kiddie version of top gun, you realize. your heart melts because 🥺🥺🥺

everyone hides when they hear fanboy and max coming in

and then you all jump up from your hiding spots and yell "SURPRISE" and he starts grinning again

and then the kid runs straight towards hangman, giggling in pure delight

"daddy!" he yells

you're all like wait wtf

did he just

say

oh

hangman has to stop for a moment before picking him up. you can see him tearing up bc this is the first time max has ever said this

it's definitely really fulfilling to watch. when he was a baby and screamed and cried for hours at a time out of nowhere, you knew it wasn't always just from tiredness. or being hungry. or whatnot

the rest of the night you're all emotional af and max notices

"daddy why are you crying?"

there go the waterworks...more tears slip down jake's face 🥺😭

"because i'm happy!"

"people cry when they are sad! like when uncle fanboy loses to uncle payback!"

"HEY! kid, i thought you were on my side"

"so, i'm your dad now, huh?"

"forever and ever and ever and ever!"

how could you have gotten so lucky...

you're sitting here in the middle of the hard deck with your family. a family when realization hits. you had a loving husband, and a father, and a child that brightened up your world, and you couldn't have asked for anything more. you finally found someone that wanted forever and wasn't one to back away

now for some more cute moments post-birthday celebration

you take max to base every day right

and hangman will carry him on his shoulders all the time

if he's not done with his flight or workout or whatever, maverick takes his place

or his fairy godmother :)

as soon as he lands, max takes off at the speed of light and goes barreling towards him (how tf is the kid so FAST)

as hangman picks him up he looks at you and says "can we please have another kid. please"

"i want a sister! tell her, daddy!"

"see, the little man agrees"

sorry this ending was so awful i genuinely apologize...

[ryuichirou]

You get asked a lot of dark stuff, and we're all here for it, but what's your favourite wholesome ship/headcanon? Just a change of pace!

Funny enough, Anon, we do have one wholesome hc post! But it’s been a while since I wrote it, and there isn’t much there, so I’ll give one more for some of the ships. Not every single one though, so if you wanted something specific, please let me know.

It’s surprisingly difficult for me to come up with something purely wholesome without any kind of cursed undertone, but I’ll do my best...

1. Out of every possible ship option for Azul (well, there isn’t much for him but), I think Idia is the best for him in terms of potential personal growth. It wouldn’t be easy, but Idia is surprisingly emotionally mature, and I genuinely think he could handle Azul’s issues. Even though both of them are very defensive and tend to see the worst in people and argue with them, they are weirdly comfortable around each other, and it seems like Azul trusts Idia enough not to expect any backstabbing from him. I think they could make each other feel genuinely loved.

2. Lilia and Idia sometimes talk through the night. Of course, they love playing together, but sometimes they just start chatting, and then chat away until it’s 6 AM. Both of them try to keep their distance on the internet, but whenever Idia’s cool internet friend complains about his irl stuff (without details, of course) to him, he feels very happy. Like Muscle Crimson could rely on him, and he could rely on him too. It’s very weird and unusual for Idia to have this kind of connection with anyone who isn’t Ortho.

3. Kalim tried to make breakfast for Jamil one time. It didn’t turn out super well, and Jamil complained that all Kalim did was adding more work for him (even though he’s already overslept – how did that even happen?!), but... it wasn’t absolutely horrible either. For a second Jamil even thought that he could taste just how much Kalim did his best to make something good enough for him to eat. But he shooed that thought away immediately.

4. When Silver and Sebek were younger, there was a period of time during which Silver’s hair got too long. Lilia was away for a while, and Silver couldn’t cut it himself, he didn’t have anything to tie them up with either. After a short while it became obvious that Silver’s hair made it difficult for him to have a proper sparring with Sebek, so Sebek yelled at him, sat him down, and braided his hair for him – he saw his sister and his mother do it, and it wasn’t difficult to remember how it works. Sebek got mad at Silver because Silver thanked him and sounded so earnest and nice, he even said that now that he has Sebek to braid his hair, it shouldn’t be an issue. Lilia came back the next day and cut Silver’s hair short again though...

5. In a very weird way Vil is anxious about meeting Rook’s family. He doesn’t worry about Rook meeting his dad – Rook already knows anything there is to know about Eric Venue, and Vil knows that his dad will at least find Rook amusing. Plus, he talks to him about Rook a lot. But Rook’s family? Vil still doesn’t know a lot about them, and Rook is always super secretive: he just laughs and say that they’ll love Vil when they meet one day, which doesn’t sound reassuring, if anything, it sounds ominous. This man drives Vil nuts sometimes.

6. Ortho loves giving Vil flowers. Even if it’s just one flower, or even if it’s not even flowers but just some weed or berries that are useful for potionology, he’ll present it in a way as if he’s giving Vil flowers. It’s honestly Vil’s fault because he always acts charmed by this, but can you blame him? Ortho is such a little gentleman.

7. This is going to sound weird, but Ortho loves apologising to Idia. They don’t really fight that much, but they do get stubborn sometimes, and sometimes start arguing. Since Ortho is the younger brother and a cutie, he is used to Idia kind of giving up and allowing him to do things his way. But every now and then, when Ortho feels like he overdid it, he hugs Idia and says that he is sorry. And Idia is usually so quick to drown in guilt for making Ortho upset or disappointed that hearing “sorry” from him and getting a hug gets him very emotional.

8. Ace does nice things to Deuce sometimes, but he doesn’t want Deuce to see it. He doesn’t let their roommates enter their room when he knows Deuce is about to call his mom, he always runs first to the cafeteria to take a seat at one table that Deuce once said was the best one in there. He tries to make it look like he is just messing with others, or doing it for himself, but he... doesn’t really know why he does that, honestly. Maybe not to feel bad when he teases Deuce for getting another F.

9. One time Lilia got sick, and Malleus was very surprised to see him in his bed suffering from a fever. He teased him at first, saying that he must be getting old if a little cold got him this weak, but then ended up sitting by his side for two days. Lilia kept grumbling something about Malleus not having anything better to do, but having his company actually made him feel much better.

10. Fellow and Gidel always get each other birthday presents, even if they don’t have any money at the moment. Fellow just thinks that Gidel deserves to feel like he’s the king of the world every now and then, and he would love to treat him at least once a year, but unfortunately this isn’t always possible; a stolen dirty magazine would make Gidel just as happy though. Ironically, Fellow is always surprised when Gidel remembers about his birthday: Fellow himself forgets about it, or rather it makes him kind of depressed. But one time Gidel got (stole) a fat wallet filled with money and kept it hidden for weeks before gifting it to Fellow and having a little feast with him on Fellow’s birthday. What a nice day that was~

[uchihaharlot]

FOR THE LIFE OF ME COULD NOT GET THIS TO LET ME EDIT IT??!!!! wtf tumblr!

Ok what the hell, this is so gosh darn wholesome and sweet. I am such an old soul (like seriously sorry these songs are so damn old). I included potential songs they would dance to below. Though I am more partial to Billie Holiday’s ‘I’ll Be Seeing You’ — ‘I don’t want to set the world on fire’ by The Ink Spots is really on par for an Uchiha. I know you said party, but this is now the festival of romance. Lol.

N/SFW(?? Super suggestive); pining; down bad simpy boy Shisui who can’t keep his eyes or hands off you.

• Ok so, my king. Shisui, is such a suave guy. Hears this girl laughing out with some friends at the spring Festival of Romance. He’s not entirely new to the scene, but the night has been overwhelming. Lots of grabby girls trying to capture one of Konoha’s most eligible bachelors. He’d really only came for the food and drinks.

• Target acquired, oops. Red spun pearls dial in when he hears this girl laugh before he actually sees her — it didn’t help that she was drop dead gorgeous either. It wasn’t even her looks that caught his attention first, it was the sweet little melodic wisp of her laugh/hum.

• Super down bad from the go. Basically is sharingan fucking her from a distance, respectfully, secretly. The man just likes what he sees, and he wants a before and after image of their first encounter. Sike, he’s just that shameless.

• Has no issue walking right up to her group of friends to address his desires. Shisui would say something extremely corny while still making it sound good, ‘You know what you'd look beautiful in? My arms.’

• Doesn’t even wait for the silly oneliner to register before he swoops her up to the dance floor, lol. Poor girl is just like system crash.exe.

• Doesn’t even need to try, this girl is besotted and honestly, a little caught off guard by his advances. Shisui normally thinks rationally, so he’ll apologize for stealing her so abruptly from her friends but, like, ‘If you let me borrow a kiss, I promise I'll give it right back.’

• 🫣🫠 She doesn’t even know how to respond to that, he is just so bold. Will turn her cheek shyly which just has Shisui smiling the full width of his mouth. She’s in just as deep as he is.

• But when she looks back up at him, oh man. His lips are a hairsbreadth away, and that’s when she is caught in his vision. Inoperable, he won’t coerce her, consent is king but if she closes her eyes.

• Shisui will feather his lips to hers and reel her a little closer. The music sounds muffled over the sound of her capillaries expanding and rushing blood through her ears. Ah fuck, when did his hand end up at that small of her back. He won’t overtly take advantage of the situation, but part of him really is tempted to.

• Shisui lovingly places his hands in all the right spots, appropriate for public, inappropriate for strangers. Wholly hot and scandalous.

• There are a plethora of people surrounding them, so Shisui will bring her closer than close, basically his mouth to her ear as she guides them across the dance floor. She’s incredibly sweet but quiet when they whisper between one another. They’ll end up spending majority of the night out dancing — probably the last people to leave. With her head on his shoulder, Shisui is blissed out by her presence.

• Shisui is a gentleman, he’ll offer to ‘walk’ her home. Surprise Shunshin before he even considers if she has a sensitive stomach. It will catch her off guard and surprisingly makes her curse, ‘fuck me’ out of exasperation under her breath.

• To which Shisui would quip, ‘don’t mind if I do.’

Okay as promised to feed you headcanons on interactions we had:

Irina and Aiden:

-Given she has a love for warm bread I feel given the HSA harvest event he could have made her a nice treat with it... he is a god in cooking among my ocs so I feel it will hit her like a truck how good it is... and that from a guy who doesn't seem like it at all...

-Her seemingly more stuttery in her language and him being super protective makes me think of a situation where she is just nervous and overwhelmed and he stands before making sure that she is protected and gets a rest. Aiden does have that glare that can scare others away that bother her

-Its winter and they share a scarf, cause it be cute and I can see Aidens ears twitch being slightly red and silent

-Both know about hanging out with the wrong people at times, so I feel it be a time where Aiden invite her to his dorm and from the tree houses looking down they could probably both share trauma and eventually hold anothers hand in assurance as in now they got another really

Victor and Eiji

-The beginning of their meeting be interesting to explore cause... Eiji is a homunculus... neither human neither fae nor beast or mer people... he is just a puppet so probably by default Victor might have not be interested in him untill watching his behaviour and what is off about it likely... Eiji is obviously hiding his true nature... but the accesoires, the rabbit paw in his room and the late night going outs are indicators something

-Victor wouldn't fear his threats and probably dig deeper into what he does and what is his secret but keep his secret... in exchange of being allowed to spend time with him... Eiji is still tired of it but does admit he likes his fascination so he grows softer

-I feel however Victor sadly helps him to get even better at covering up so it might be a danger to others, but them being lovers is just a twisted fascination with morbid things for sure

Veronica and Flynn

-He names people he loves after gems so checking his list he might name her Aquamarine

-I feel in the beginning he slightly egged her on... like they had a sword fight against another and all this man did is dodge instead of attack with so much precision it was hard to keep up with and even if she won she just asked him why he didn't attack and he just answer like "Cause watching you is more beautiful." he is a bastard like that.

-Some of her lines on her profile makes me think she might really start to care when she knows how less he cares about himself cause man sees his own life not of value and she could smack sense into him that dead he is moreso worth nothing than alive, its all him living to use his life for others not for himself that drove him with his trauma that way

-He wouldn't say anything about her brother at all... he himself did some bad things so he aint one to judge, and him being a bird might even get him and Victor to also be on decent terms

-This man will literally bring her huge bouquets and always be there surprisingly to be kept in her mind... I said he is percistent and that is mostly for once he found someone that fully got his interest he works hard to impress them... even if he would be better dropping his mask and being himself but... old habits die hard

-Either way if they get together or close she would find out about silly things on him like... hiding he likes fastfood to seem fancy and being terrible at cooking

The Irina and Aiden stuff, just cute and wholesome as always

Just know it'd take a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT for her to share her own traumas

She's probably the least willing to out of all my OCs. Even more so than Victor surprisingly?

Partly because she just had it reinforced in her mind so many times over and over growing up that if she didn't always make whoever she was around happy everyone would leave, so she had to just bottle everything up But she wouldn't be as assertive about boundaries as Victor would be, so if she felt like there was any kind of pressure for her to open up that'd just make it harder for her. That 'the more you reassure, the less I trust' kinda vibe

Also partially because she just really doesn't want anyone to make a big deal out of it. Like, she's already been through it, so someone making a big deal out of it and being worried about her would just make her feel worse I think

There are legitimately AUs I've imagined her in where she never tells ANYONE about the stuff she went through as a kid

My first thought about Victor and Eiji is— I feel like Victor would think he was interesting from the word 'go'. Liars can usually spot another liar a mile away, after all.

And the moment he gets even the TINIEST hint that Eiji isn't human, he is LOCKED IN. He is going to figure out this man's secret if it kills him. He wouldn't actually mind if it did kill him actually. That'd just make him even MORE obsessed actually. Freak that he is, he even finds it sorta romantic???

Like 'damn this person really just killed me because I got close to figuring out their secret. They're the one' lol

And yeah...every single ship I've ever imagined Victor in before the OC x Canon-TWST ship I have him in has been him and the other person 100% just making each other worse lol

Oooo and with Flynn and Veronica— first of all, she is a MASSIVE tsundere. STUBBORN about trying to seem like she doesn't care and thinks everything and everyone is stupid.

But if he was actively flirty like that from the get-go she'd more turn her nose up and like cross her arms and go 'hmph!' and like look away like she couldn't care less. She wouldn't be actively flustered by that specific kind of flirting, but that she's not actively like 'get tf out of my sight rn' is as much indication as you're gonna get that she's fine with it.

Mostly just because she doesn't believe he's being sincere.

Oh but she would 100% fall for him egging her on to fight every single time, and when he did nothing but dodge she'd just get even more upset, and if he het her with that line then, oh, she's DONE Like-- face is so red, and she's so flustered she keeps trying to like insult him (bc that's the only way she knows to react to feeling attacked lol, and she definitely feels attacked-- just hasn't figured out it's not in a bad way yet) but she can't even speak

So she's just like screeching and stuttering incoherently like:

"What?! Wh-wha— you— what do you— th-that's not— I never said— you— I— bgaaah!"

And then she's just storming off because she has no idea how to deal with that lol

Oh and she'd have a big thing of like: "Where the hell did you get 'Aquamarine' from?" (even funnier if he just refuses to tell her why lol)

Oh, and an interesting thing about Veronica is that, I don't think she really cares too much for gifts? She likes gifts that she can use— like a tool, or equipment of some kind, or clothing, or food But, though she'd understand the sentiment behind it, I think she'd struggle to know what to do with the roses lol

And a thing I love about Veronica is that when she has her 'oh shit' moment of 'I would care if you died/were gone', like-- she is gonna move literal mountains for you.

You wormed your way under her skin and inside her heart (somehow) so now you have to take responsibility for that! And by 'responsibility' she means taking good enough care of yourself that she won't need to worry about losing you. Because it would absolutely DEVASTATE her. She knows this about herself. That's why she's so cautious with letting people close to her in the first place

She is gonna force you to take care of yourself whether you like it or not

And honestly...I can see her just buying him fast food lol

She sees straight through that and does NOT have the patience to play along with his facade, she does not care how hard he tries to fake it because it does not work on her lol

Can you please do headcanons for Garreth Weasley? I love your Sebastian ones but I need Garreth’s too! :D

I was waiting for someone to ask for this sweet boy!

Random Garreth headcanons by me!

Time for this sweet boy! 

Seriously, like this boy is the biggest cutie pie in the entire school. 

SO BUCKLE UP Y’ALL! 

Garreth has a LOT of siblings, I’m talking six to seven or more. The Weasley's are known for having a lot of children. 

I’d say he’s somewhere in the upper middle of the family. And as of the time in the game, he’s the oldest Weasley at Hogwarts. 

Probably has a lot of little sisters. I’d imagine when he gets home, the sisters who aren’t at school yet just bombard him with hugs and then talk his ear off about things that they did while he was gone at school. 

I feel like he’s really close with his mom and dad but he’s around his mom more because she’s home more than his dad is. 

100% a baker. 

THIS BOY CAN BAKE. 

Yeah sure he can cook but he is AMAZING at baking. He learned from his mom when he was really young and hadn’t stopped since. It gave him a sweet tooth (i’d say most of the weasleys have one). When he’s at home, he’s making something at least every day in the kitchen. 

On the topic of food, he loves it. As most of the Weasleys do, Garreth loves to eat. Anytime, anywhere, he just loves it! (and I cannot blame him lol) 

His love for experimenting potions came from experimenting in the kitchen as a kid. 

At school, his best friends without a doubt are Leander and Natty. They’re always talking and hanging out together. 

That being said, if Garreth ever found out that he and Leander were related later down the line in not one but two ways, he would literally pass out. Although it was by marriage, who wouldn’t want to be at least related to their best friend in some way?? 

Loves pulling pranks. On whoever, whenever. He also ropes Leander into them because usually they have the same person in mind when they want to prank someone and usually their pranks work, they’re pretty good at it by now. 

He gets along decently well with Sebastian. They hang out more than people think they do. 

He would hang out more with Ominis if Ominis didn’t scare the crap out of him. He doesn’t know why but he finds Ominis both very intriguing and very intimidating. 

His favorite classes are definitely Potions and Herbology. HATES Astronomy because it’s always cold up in the tower. 

Yeah this boy hates the cold. He HATES IT. 

In the winter times he’s always bundled up and he suddenly becomes super grateful that his mom and grandmas knit him all these sweaters because he’s wearing one everyday along with layers, his house scarf and his robes. He doesn’t like the cold at all. 

He’ll still go play in the snow but that doesn’t mean he won’t complain about how cold it is. 

If Garreth played quidditch, he’d definitely be a beater. 

He actually does pretty well, motivated by the fact that all his older brothers played quidditch and he doesn’t want to be the only one who didn’t and didn’t do well. 

His favorite Professors would be Professor Garlick and surprisingly Professor Sharp. As much as Professor Sharp gets on his case all the time, Garreth knows a lot of what he does about potions because Sharp has been such a good teacher. And like I explained in the Sharp hc’s where Garreth kinda grew on him, it was likewise for Garreth. 

And if you thought it was gonna be his aunt, no, it’s not. His aunt keeps him in line at school and he’s still grumpy about it. 

He’s an amazing storyteller. He grew up making up and telling stories on the fly to his younger siblings and it definitely stayed with him as he grew up. He can come up with the most brilliant ideas and make them into a story that’s entertaining for everyone. 

This boy would be the cutest, wholesome lover ever. 

The kind of one to run up to you suddenly and give you kisses all over your face. Yeah that one. 

He LOVES physical affection. It's definitely his love language. In his family its normal to be very affectionate to one another, not to mention we know every single Mrs. Weasley to ever exist has ALWAYS been motherly and affectionate and it definitely rubbed off on Garreth. He has no problem hugging, cuddling, or giving forehead/cheek kisses to anyone he’s close to. 

Leander was like (??) the first time Garreth gave him a kiss on the forehead in their first year but after that he got used to it and he actually finds it pretty sweet. 

As much as this HC would make it seem like Garreth’s boggart would probably be something to do with his family dying, honestly I think his is more similar to Rons. HE HATES SPIDERS and so when that giant spider comes running out of the boggart chest, he screams. 

He thinks they’re ugly and gross with FAR too many legs to be comfortable with. Not to mention the eyes. Ugh he just hates them. If there’s a spider at home, he’d rather let his little sisters kill it. 

He definitely thinks he’s the funniest person in the world. And although he does have a great sense of humor, sometimes it’s a very specific kind of humor that takes you a minute to get. 

Definitely slaps his knee and doubles over when he’s laughing. 

He’s not very good at remembering he has homework, tests, or other school obligations other than classes and so his Aunt Matilda is always having to remind him. And while he is very thankful for that, he’s of course gotta be salty cuz his aunt is telling him what to do. 

His baby face never really left him. As he got older his cheekbones got a little more defined but nothing super serious. This boy will always have his cute squishy cheeks in one way or another. 

I feel like if the right person was in his life at the time, he’d probably get married pretty quick after school and he DEFINITELY wants kids. And a lot of them at that. It’s like it’s a staple statement of the Weasley family. 

He’d be a great dad, always being involved in his kids' lives, he’d always try to teach them new things and at the request of his partner try to get his kids to not blow things up like he did. 

Overall he really is just the sweetest boy in all of Hogwarts. 

Ugh I just love him! I'll definitely do a part 2 for him soon!

Thawing the ice

Platonic yandere miles x reader

Miles was scared of you.

He felt silly admitting that, but he was scared of you.

But in all fairness, you were scary. You constantly held a fierce glare towards anyone who approached you, and for a someone with no powers you were surprisingly strong when it came to shoving people or fighting people to stay away from you. He learnt that the hard day the first day you met when he was ordered to catch you.

So imagine his shock when he finds you, the person who intimidates him the most only coming second to Miguel, sitting on the kitchen counter in an oversized pink shirt, that he recognised as Gwens, eating a smiley face pancake in the spiderverse kitchen in the communal home.

He just stared at you from the entrance as he watched this scary figure commit such a wholesome act. He even saw a small smile playing on your lips as you finished your pancake, that was until Miles shoes squeaked on the floor and you head shot upwards.

Your lips retook their usual frown as your eyes narrowed into the usual glare that felt more terrifying as it was now aimed directly at him. You hopped down from the kitchen counter and hid your plate behind you but miles had already seen enough.

��Heyy you…. I… um…” miles muttered out as he felt sweat dripping from his forehead “didn’t know you….. came around here?…”

Your glare intensified as miles scratched the back of his head nervously while urging himself to try and walk away

“I promise I tell anyone I saw this” miles rushed out as his hands put themselves up in mock surrender “I’ll leave and pretend this never happened”

Miles backed away slowly like you were a wild animal that could attack at any moment. He wanted to back out of the room but was interrupted as his stomach rumbled embarrassingly loud.

He was quick to cover his stomach with his arms and jump at the sound as if it didn’t come from him. You eyed him curiously before letting out a sigh

“Sit down” you said while motioning to the chair next to the kitchen table.

“Oh I’m fine.. you really don’t have to-” he tried to speak but you cut him off

“I said sit down” you commanded with a glare

“Yes ma’am” miles said nervously as he rushed to pull the chair out and sat down

There’s an awkward silence afterwards as you take the remaining pancake batter and you put it into the pan. It sizzles loudly but the awkward tension seems to be the only thing miles could hear.

“Sooo…” miles started as he watched you make the pancake “how are you enjoying your stay in the spiderverse?”

“How would you like a stay where your trapped and the only way you can see your loved ones is by watching them through a camera?” You scoff out and miles winces, he knows your anger isn’t directed at him but it still felt strangely like a scolding

“Not great?” He replies nervously but it comes out as more of a question

“Yep” you say with a sigh as you flip the pancake “not great”

The silence returns as you work on the pancake. You glance between your moving hands and miles who just stares at the wall to the side of him, inwardly scolding himself for his stupid question.

“I heard you went a mission with Hobie” you say, breaking the awkward silence “how did it go?”

“Oh it went good” miles replied as some relief enters his tone that you were talking to him “hobies super helpful, he even taught me a new swinging technique”

“Glad to know he’s helpful to other people” you say sarcastically as you pull out a plate and delicately transport the pancake onto it.

“Haha yeah” miles laughs nervously as he stretches the back of his head “how did you know about the mission?”

“Hobie told me” you scoff out slightly at the memory “he comes to me after every mission to annoy me with the details”

Miles just nods as he digests the information. Hobie hangs out with you? It would make sense since Hobie is super cool and your terrifying so that makes you slightly cool. You didn’t seem to enjoy his company though…

You placed the plate in front of miles as you sit in the chair opposite him. Miles looks down to find a smiley face made with chocolate chips on his pancakes. He goes to question you but he sees you look away and he can see the tiniest bit of blush on your cheeks, best to leave it for now

Miles tucks in as his stomach growls in hunger. He barely comes up for air as he cuts the pancake up and shoves it into his mouth. You look at his chocolate chip and pancake covered face with slight disgust.

“Damn boy, doesn’t your mama feed you?” You question in bewilderment, miles goes to answer but you snap at him before he can “swallow before you answer, Jesus”

Miles nods in embarrassment as he chokes down his food and wipes his face with a napkin before turning to you again

“She does” he says defensively before going nervous again “it’s just Miguel’s got me on so many missions that I don’t really have time to eat”

“Well that’s fucking stupid” you remark with a scoff

“I know, I try to eat but sometimes-“ miles tries to explain but you cut him off again

“No not you” you dismiss with a wave of your hand “Miguel, he shouldn’t be pushing you to go on so many missions. Your a kid and you need time to eat and have a break”

“Yeah I guess” miles mumbles out before forcing a chuckles “he’s the boss though, right?”

“I’ll talk to him” you state as you take the empty plate from miles and you place it in the sink before handing him a glass of water

“He really doesn’t like people telling him what to do” miles says hurriedly in an attempt to dissuade you

“He already hates me” you state with an eye roll as you begin to clean the plates you used “me yelling some sense into him won’t change anything”

Miles felt warmth blossom in his chest that he recognised as admiration and gratitude. Not even his closest friends would stand up to Miguel for him, well excluding Hobie but that was more to piss Miguel off than to defend miles, but you would.

He looks at you as he realises how much he misjudged you. You weren’t terrifying or mean, you were secretly nice. You were just someone who was angry at their situation.

“Thanks” miles says as he shoots you a grin as he feels that your icy walls have began to thaw, only slightly but it was happening “that would be really nice of you”

“No problem” you sigh out as you dry your hand with a tea towel, you walk to him slightly and you awkwardly pat his shoulder in what was meant to be a reassuring gesture but the grimace on your face was the opposite of reassuring “your a good kid”

Miles was only a few years younger than you and usually he would feel offence at the title, but when you said it a small bit of joy sparked in his chest.

“Thank you for the pancakes” miles says gratefully as he shoots you a grin

“No problem” you say with your back turned to him

Miles said goodbye and went to leave but was stopped by your voice calling to him

“Oh and miles?” You called out and miles stopped an turned to you

“Yes” he says back as he gives you his full attention again

“Tell anyone about this and Miguel will be the least of your problems” you threaten as you turn your head to glare at him from over your shoulder

“Yes ma’am” miles gulped as he practically ran out the room “never happened”

Okay, maybe you were still terrifying. But now miles knows that your cool enough to be terrifying for it to not matter anymore.

Miles walked out of that kitchen with the growing feeling of adoration blooming in his chest. He couldn’t wait to hang out with you again!

Hope you enjoyed

Requests are completely open so feel free to request anything

Love ya ❤️

HEADCANONS FOR ROTTMNT YIPPEE!!

(I'm lazy so no pictures, sorry not sorry)

RAPH

As a Ler, he’s pretty gentle but when he wants to he will absolutely RECK his Lee.

Unfortunately for his Lee, he has great advantage with his size and strength. (Not to mention his spikes)

He’s quite a teasy Ler, honestly.

Teasings like: “Ooh!~ Is your cute wlittle tummy sensitive?~” or “Ah ah ah! There’s no escape from the tickle monster~!”

Yes, he will indeed refer to himself as the tickle monster.

Much to everyone’s protest.

Even though he’s pretty much 75% Ler and like.. what? 59% Lee? That doesn’t mean he’s not ticklish.

He’s the 4th ticklish out of them all, BUT like i said, still pretty ticklish.

I’d say he’s a 7/10 for his ticklishness.

Tickle spots that would really get him laughing would most likely be his spikes or underarms. Though he’s still got a few other spots that make him giggle and such.

His laugh would definitely be high-pitched, unlike his regular voice. (if the Ler gets him REALLY good he will start giggling)

Otherwise his laughter would be a loud chortle or guffaw.

DONNIE

Oh boy is he a RUTHLESS Ler.

Y’know those mechanical arms stored in his battle shell? Yeah. THAT.

He will most certainly use those to hold his Lee down.

Unlike the others, his teases are alright.

“Oh it tickles?~ Gasp, i hadn’t noticed!” “Pfft- did you just snort?” Teases like that.

Look me in the eye and tell me he doesn’t have a tickle gadget stored somewhere.

That feather he used for that one episode to tickle the Shredder? There’s definitely more where that came from.

Canon because I said so.

I’m just gonna say it, he would NEVER under any circumstances, admit that he likes being tickled.

But bro. I am NOT joking when I say that he’s almost fully a Lee, much to his disappointment.

46% Ler, 94% Lee.

I’m telling ya-

He’s the most ticklish out of the four, literally 10/10 hands down.

He’s practically ticklish in most common places (thighs, knees, underarms, feet, etc.) but i think the spots that would get him the most would be his shell (both plastron and carapace)

His laughter is so wholesome oml-

At first it starts off with cackles and titters, but then turns into full-blown laughter.

If the Ler really gets him, it’ll turn into squeaky childish giggles.

(CANON BECAUSE I SAID) he DEFINITELY snorts when being tickled.

LEO

This man is the freakin devil when it comes to being a Ler-

He’s SO teasy on top of that.

“Coochie coochie coo!~” “Awww, does that tickle? Maybe i should call you Gigglebug!~”

His teases will get his Lee blushing with embarrassment.

Though if his Lee decides to get revenge he is SCREWED.

Just like his twin, he’s super ticklish.

I’d say 67% Ler and 92% Lee.

Though, unfortunately for him, he’s ticklish everywhere.

You name it, feet, knees, thighs, sides, underarms, neck, etc.

But the spots that would get him the most I’d say are the legs and plastron. (sides included)

Since I’m very observant, in the episode where he got tickled if you paid close attention you’d notice that he was holding his side area where one of the little foot recruits were getting him. (Including when he held his stomach)

Just a thought.

Anywizzle, his laughter (like his twin) is quite adorable.

It would definitely start off with chuckles then turn into loud high-pitched laughter closely followed by giggles.

If his Lee got him good, he would PROBABLY snort too. I’m not quite sure yet lol.

MIKEY

He could be a Ler, but almost never is.

He’s definitely 99% Lee and 33% Ler, somewhere there.

When he is a Ler, he’s quite gentle and sweet about it.

He can be merciless when he wants to, but it’s rare.

His teases would consist mainly of compliments because he’s just kind like that.

“Aww! Your laugh is soo cute!~” “Hehe! You sound like a pig!~” Would probably be his teases.

Out of the four he earned the title of being the biggest Lee, surprisingly he doesn’t complain about it but still a bit embarrassed.

Like the others he’s ticklish in tons of places, though the spots that probably get him the most are his knees, sides, or neck.

*Ahem* Why does he wear knee-pads? Hm?

Actually Donnie wears knee-pads too.. But Mikey definitely takes the cake for most ticklish knees.

A few squeezes there sends him squealing.

Yes, he squeals.

And it’s so freakin adorable.

His laughter would most likely have squeals in between, and like the other three, it’s high-pitched. (though i wouldn’t be able to tell because he has a pretty high voice overall- LOL)

Mostly consists of giggles and such.

But you’d better cover your ears cause if the Ler gets him real good he’ll be full on screaming with laughter.

Sorry if this was short and bad but it's literally 8am and i haven't slept-

Anywizzle, toodaloo!~ Have a great day/night :))

Oh ho ho~ I've got a funny one

Dice and Mammon in a poly relationship with a fem! reader that's got crazy good luck. Everytime she goes into a casino, they leave with billions of dollars 💵.

Dice x Mammon poly with a fem!s/o that's got crazy good luck

femreader, fluff, just wholesome stuff;;

-Let's the war begin..

-Cause, despite you're literally in a poly, it's hard to hang out all together due to the fact that Dice still live in the human world.

-So when you decide to spend some more time with one of your boyfriends, helping him win more and more dollars and casinos, other get jealous and whine, and vice versa.

-So most of the time you all go on 'beneficial' dates, it always starts with some fights about where exactly you would try your crazy luck - in Devildom or the Human world.

"We, like, already were in your stupid place three times this month! I want some Grimms too!" - Mammon scoffs in before clinging to you from one side. - "You think the same, s/o, right? I'm sure you miss Devildom and want some Grimms too!"

"Well, and I don't want it!" - Dice also quickly get closer, pulling you from another side. - "My casino does not accept your 'Grimms'! They're useless here!!"

"As much as your money in my world!" - actually, they almost look like two goats who's butting heads..

"Oi, you at least can get here and spend them on these stores too!"

-Oh, yes.. You really think now your boyfriends wouldn't have problems with money, if you literally lure such big Jackpots for them? Well, poor, naive you.

-Cause they both never change their habits, so when you sleep or are busy with other things, Mammon's already spends the last Grimm on some luxury clothes after partying in a club, and Dice's already crying on a bench, cause without you all he can do it's just losing money, not winning them..

-So if the first one, then the second your lovers shyly start mumbling about next going to the casino after literally a few days, don't be surprised.

-"I swear, I will never buy so many things again!" - Mammon sobs, and by the way his legs tremble, you can say he wouldn't mind getting on his knees and begging if there wouldn't be Dice, also sniffing and crying.

"And I will never go betting without you..!" - and for him it's neither first nor last time to get in such situations, so he actually quickly falls on his knees. - "Please, s/o, let's go there again…!"

-But still, even if they adore your luck so much, they both don't want you to feel used. As they still love you just because you are you, without any benefits, and willing to show you this through some casual dates all together.

-I'm sure these two can get along well, due to their pretty similar worldviews. Also, Mammon has a good style and I feel like his fashion tips Dice would be willing to listen more than the same words from Ramuda, just because they're much closer. And I feel like a greedy demon would be interested in listening about hypmics and trying to find some profit from this ---

-"Hey, hey, I also was thinking about one thing.." - Dice's lips curved into a small smug smile when he looked at Mammon.

"Oh, how can we increase s/o's super skills even more?" - he quickly got the hint and they both suddenly moved to you, grinning.

"I was just thinking.."

"That um, m-maybe.."

"You know, they said real love can be very powerful.."

"Yeah, yeah, totally..!"

"So maybe we should try this small boost?" - in surprisingly good sync they whisper in your ears, tickling your skin. - "Nothing much, just kiss us before every spin or bet.. We're sure it would be helpful, so let's check it out right now, okay, s/o..?"

The Rookie 5x14 Thoughts

Spoilers for The Rookie 5x14 below. If you've watched the episode or don't care about spoilers, please enjoy!

Tim and Lucy are officially in their domestic dating era and its literally the cutest thing I've seen in a while. I love that the writers keep making a call back to boot and Lucy finding any way she can to tease Tim with boots is both hilarious and adorable. I wonder if she bought another pair of baby boots or if Tim ended up keeping all of the boots from before and she just snagged a pair during a time she visited Tim's house. Also Tim having a key to her apartment and just being able to come in any time is just so great. I hope that we get to see Lucy use her key to Tim's house. I would love to see Kojo again.

I really enjoyed seeing Tamara again this episode. I really like how they incorporated her job into a way to open up one of the cases for this episode. Additionally, seeing just how normal it is for Tim, Lucy, and Tamara interact with each other was just so good. Like they're basically a family unit. I really enjoyed seeing Lucy comforting Tamara at the end and reassuring that she is and always will be family.

I think it could also be interesting to see Tamara end babysitting for Genny's kids. I'm already rooting for an episode where we see Tim, Lucy, Tamara, Genny and her kids all having a big dinner together.

(We're already getting a mention of babies and kids with Chenford. I know that Lucy said its a long time off, but what if next season towards the middle a foster kid is introduced and Lucy or Tim decides to take them in. I mean it probably won't happen, but I think could be an interesting dynamic.)

Tim's first day as Seargeant in Metro felt like a parallel to how it is for patrol rookies with him being the one to load up the bags and getting their super early. I liked seeing the montage of him in the training room just getting blasted with the paint. And the tiny office with a large window. Lucy and Aaron just doing a little wave to Tim. Lucy's affronted face when Tim just pulled down the blinds. Everything in that scene just made me smile and giggle a bit.

Later on when we see Tim finally pass the training and pass the test with the guys and start to get accepted into the group (after being covered in unicorn stickers of course) was surprisingly wholesome.

When we finally get to see Tim lead the metro team with Angela backing him up as the lookout/ sniper I really liked that he immediately comes to her defense when one of the metro guys tries to question why he's chosen over one of the members in metro. Also, Angela being a legend at the range is just peak.

Wesley and Nyla was not a duo I thought I needed to see, but I really liked seeing them interact. Them working together to figure out if the judge was crooked and figuring out what to do about it was really cool to see. Like we know that they're friends outside of work and that they're obviously friends with each other's spouses but I really enjoyed seeing them actively work together in a professional capacity. Its not a duo we usually see and I wouldn't be opposed to seeing more of them.

When they walked into the judge's office and saw that he was dead I was worried that Elijah would have somehow set it up so that it looked like Wesley killed him, but I'm happy and relieved to see that wasn't the case.

We finally got word of Nolan and Bailey's wedding again. For a while there I thought that the writer's sort of forgot about it. I'm a little bit disappointed that Nolan's mom wasn't able to make a reappearance for the show. I wonder why they chose to bring her off only to kill her off in the same episode. I really think there are more creative ways to introduce tension into Nolan's life that didn't include killing the mom off. I will say though that I actually think that Nolan's strained relationship with his mom gave his character a little bit more depth. This is because usually whenever we see Nolan he's practically a human golden retriever who is just persistently optimistic about everything and everyone, but when dealing with his mom its one of the few times we sort of see this crack in his character.

Its sort of what irks me about how Nolan's character is written sometimes. We know he grew up with a mom who he couldn't really rely on and was practically a conwoman even with her own son. With this type of background Nolan I think he shouldn't be someone who blindly trusts people. I wish we saw his character of being so trustworthy and optimistic all the time break just a little bit more often.

I honestly think that a conversation between him and Tim or even him and Wade could be cool way to explore why and how he's so optimistic and trusting.

Focusing on Nolan's portion of the actual plot of the episode the firefighters being targeted was fine but honestly 911 did it better. Probably because I actually feel a connection to the firefighters on that show unlike here on the Rookie. I'll be honest out all the plot points on the episode tonight the firefighters being targeted just didn't feel like it held real stakes. I mean we all now that nothing is really going to happen to Bailey and we don't know any of the other firefighters so there wasn't too much to be invested in with that plot point anyways.

Bonus: Aaron is just so funny. Bro was really looking for an apartment with a pool for a reasonable price in LA of all places. He looked at what it would be like to live in LA without being a millionaire for like five minutes before he said never mind, I'll just continue living off my mom's money. Honestly, I can't even blame him though because I too would take the money. (But bro please learn to do your own laundry and how to cook a few recipes it really does save so much time and money. Even if you are millionaire, these are basic skills everyone should have.)

______________________________________________________________

Hope you enjoyed. If you want come chat with me in the comments about anything The Rookie related. If you made it this far and if you want to let me know if you're more of a take out or cook at home person.

I'm a cook at home person, though I do love some Wendy's chicken nuggets from time to time.

Until next time have a good day or night!

New Years Headcanons!

happy. late. new year! weeeeee!!!!

characters; luffy!! mentions of nami, usopp and chopper too!!

genre; fluffy stuff! wholesome goofy things! people do get hurt tho. no real descriptions of any wound received.

CW/TW; explosions, fireworks, mentions of getting hurt. dont do these things irl😭

details; G/N reader!! no context on relationship either take it as u will.

summary: you spend some time with luffy during new years on a remote island throwing a party, chaos ensues as expected. luffy causes a lot of trouble💀

luffy!!🍖

RUN

throws some kind of party, and it all goes horribly wrong

he's that one exact person that would light fireworks casually on the street (the big ones) and just laugh when the chaos starts

has no idea what fire safety is + no singular thought of his own safety, not to mention other people's.

lights a firework then runs at people with it in his hands 💀

he will do the same thing to you😭 he thinks it's insanely hilarious he's not trying to be mean i promise

lit one of the super big ones once again and tricked usopp to hold it somehow💀💀

it worked💔

chopper had to take leave with usopp early so he could bandage his wounds properly

usopp did not let that slide

Luffy being the embodiment of chaos that he is, randomly overheard plans for a New Years party from some local citizens on the current island you guy's were stationed on, and decided to throw one of his own. He was mostly at it for the meat he knew was bound to be there. It (surprisingly) started off really well. On the side that the Thousand Sunny was docked on, he had chosen the nearest beach to hangout. The villagers planned to have a firework show aiming that direction so the beach was currently a bustling area. Luffy + already ongoing chaos doesn't mix well.

Before the firework show started, a bundle of children gathered around in a makeshift circle to play with some fire crackers and sparklers. It was honestly super cute to see, Luffy noticed your attention was partly focused on the kid's group and went to join the fun.

Sigh.

A kind little kid handed a sparkler to Luffy, it wasn't Luffy's first time with these things but he was still. Odd. At such a degree he held it at an unfortunate angle and set his own shirt on fire. Some other child yelled "stop drop n' roll" and it couldn't have gone more wrong.

He rolled into a compact pile of fireworks (thankfully decently far from the crowd- he rolled a long way💀) and the little flame that was still set ablaze caught contact with one little firework, and then went the rest. There was a lot of big booms and pops, as well as a blinding cloud of smoke. He got banned from touching anything firework related.

After being pursued away from the beach area, he gave up and decided to find the rest of your guy's crew. Chopper was with said rest of the crew, so he asked if you could take care of his injuries. You simply bandaged up some scrapes he got from hidden sharp rocks in the sand and put a little medicine from a first-aid kit on a few other things. Easy enough, he took you by the hand and made way to the streets of the nearby neighborhood.

In this area, things were much more tranquil thankfully. You sat down on the curb of the sidewalk and watched Luffy consult Nami about what had happened earlier. He got hit. Took it like a champ though and went to go play with Usopp and Chopper. He did invite you to come join their fun but, knowing him, something was ought to go wrong, you didn't really want any injuries of your own. Just in case, he left his signature straw hat with you :] Chopper shared some fire crackers with Luffy and taught him how they work. Usopp, as wonderful as he is, had created his very own 'special' firework. Bless his heart. There was no way in any shape or form it was going to go even a little bit well. That thought was right, around 5 minutes later fireworks were going here, there, and everywhere. There was a lot of screaming coming from Chopper, a lot of running from Usopp, and a absurd amount of hysterical laughing from Luffy (who was fortunately spared from any explosion wounds). Usopp.. not so much.

Turned out to be, somehow Luffy got Usopp to hold a firework in the midst of the chaos and he ascended💀 karma might get you 'cuz you did laugh a little. Chopper, once returned from a hiding spot, had to take Usopp to the Sunny to give him actual full-on medical attention. Usopp is now actively plotting Luffy's downfall.

Despite all the mayhem, Luffy made up for lost time by laying down on a hill and looking at stars with you. He doesn't know what is what, but he's totally happy to be with you in some kind of way. Soon after, the rest of the crew came to talk about their next steps on the wide vast journey of the New World, even though it was extremely odd and over-the-top, it was definitely something to remember. Happy New Year from 麦わらの一味/Straw Hat crew ❤︎

when it's 4th of july im gonna do something like this again LOL

This work is written in first person (uses I, me, my).

Part 1

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

“So what are we doing tonight, beautiful?” I grabbed his hand that was held out to me to get up, trying to muster up an answer to his question. I did not want to take some murderer to a party with lots of people to kill. There was no way I could trust him not to kill me or someone else. Why was he acting so nice to me? What were his plans? And there would be “problems” if I tried to run away?

I didn’t realize I was just standing there, imagining him shooting up the bar I was supposed to be at, until he grabbed my shoulder, which made me jump.

“Sorry, I just wanted to get your attention. Look, there’s no reason to be afraid. The gun is empty and in my bag-“

“But you’ll kill me if I try to run away.” My voice sounded surprisingly stronger that time. Why was he apologizing every time he scared me, and why was I letting it make me more comfortable around him?

“When the hell did I say that? I said we would have problems. Like I would be mad and have to chase you down problems. Not I’ll fucking kill you problems. I’m not going to hurt you, okay?”

“But it’s not just the gun. You could easily with just your hands-“

“Well what do you want me to do? Not have hands?!”

“…. ,“ I thought about it for a minute. It would be very convenient if he didn’t have hands. “Actually, yes, that would be nice.” I answered in a small voice.

He rolled his eyes. “Okay, fine.” He lifted his arms so I could see the palms of his hands, then he slowly shoved them deep into his pockets, making sure I was paying careful attention. “There, I won’t take them out until you tell me I can. Good?”

Was he really going to let me control the use of his hands? “Okay, I guess that works, but you have to promise.”

“I don’t make promises.” His voice was firm, but then his expression softened after he saw my face drop, “Yet, I suppose, I’ll make an exception since I literally can not make you feel safe around me any other way. I promise I will not take my hands out of my pockets until you say I can. Okay, beautiful?”

Without realizing, I smiled. He was letting me boss him around. HIM! The scariest man I had ever seen! “Okay, and stop calling me that.”

“Beautiful?”

“Yes.”

“Not a chance.”

“It was worth a shot?”

He laughed, and I continued smiling. He was actually very handsome despite all the blood and dirt that was on his face. His smile was genuine, and his laugh was wholesome and contagious. I was getting used to him dangerously quickly-

“Okay, I know you don’t want to take me to that party of yours,” he started walking out of the alley, and signaled me to follow. Afraid of what would happen if I didn’t comply, I followed. “I think I know a good place we can go though. You like ice cream, angel?”

“Yeah, I guess.” Exiting the alley, I felt a strong wind hit my exposed skin. Being night time in the spring, it was freezing.

Changbin observed as I folded my arms and rubbed my hands on them to keep them warm. “You cold?”

“Uhh, no, it’s fine.”

“Okay, the walk is quick anyway.”

We walked for a couple minutes in silence, traveling through a maze of alleys on wet, dark, cobblestone streets. The sky was so pitched black that you couldn’t see anything if it weren’t for the moon and the streetlights. Changbin walked ahead of me, so I got to get a good look at him the whole time. He was covered in blood, bruises, and dirt. I wondered what he did. Was he a serial killer? Did he work alone, or with other people? Was he in some sort of gang? Wait, why was he okay with going to get ice cream covered in blood?

“Umm, Changbin?”

“Yes, beautiful?”

“What if people see, like, that you have blood all over yourself?”

“I’ll tell them it’s none of their business, give them a good punch in the face, and go about my day?” He looked down at his clothes with a confused face. He mumbled too quietly for me to hear, “it’s not all over me.”

“You can’t punch them with your hands in your pockets.”

He looked back up. “Then a good kick? You know, y/n, you’re very thorough.”

“You’re okay with just going into an ice cream place like that then?”

“Oh, did I not mention that I own the place?”

“You own an ice cream shop and you kill people?”

“No, not the shop. I own the building. And I don’t just kill people.”

“Oh.” So does that mean he’s part of a mafia? Like a gang or something? I had heard that they own various buildings and businesses for drug deals and meetings and stuff. But I thought that was just clubs and bars? Why an ice cream shop?

It was getting colder, and I could feel my teeth chattering. Changbin stopped walking.

“What?” I asked, stopping behind him.

“Okay, open the biggest zipper of my bag. There should be a jacket in there somewhere.”

He trusted me to look in his personal bag? There was probably all kinds of illegal shit in there. I opened my mouth to start speaking, but he interrupted before I could say anything. “No, it’s not all covered in blood.”

“Good,” I laughed. I started to open the zipper when he stopped me.

“Wait! Be careful, I think I have a knife floating around in there. I don’t want you to hurt yourself.”

“You keep knives in your backpack where you also keep clothes?”

“Well, where do you keep your knives?”

I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t have knives other than in the kitchen, so I just stayed quiet and zipped open the pocket.

“Exactly.”

My curiosity got the better of me, and I started to look at the things he stored in his bag. Surprisingly, it was just bandages, water, the empty gun, a knife, a box of probably bullets, a jacket, PILLS?! “Oh my god, do you have drugs in here?”

He giggled again and turned his body around to look at me. “Relax, it’s just Aspirin for headaches. So judgmental!”

I didn’t notice that I was judging him. “Oh, I- I’m sorry, I didn’t realize I was-“

“Oh, no, it’s okay. I-“ he bit his lip and looked away from me. “It’s cute.”

I cleared my throat in attempts to make myself forget what he just said, and the butterflies it gave me. “Okay, well, turn back around. I want the jacket.”

“Okay, but be really careful taking it out. There are some things in there that I can’t lose. Make sure the knife doesn’t fall out of the bag because that would be really bad because people could see it and that would raise suspicion. And be careful! I wouldn’t want you to hurt yourself on the kni-“

“Oh, hell, Changbin!” I put my hands on his shoulders and turned him around to face me. “Just take your hands out of your pockets and get it for me. It’s dark out here and I can’t see anyway.”

“You sure?”

“Yes.”

“You really trust me to take them out?”

I froze again. Did I trust him? I just saw him kill someone, yet, he was so casual with me that he made it seem like we’d been friends for years. I forgot about what happened to easily due to his carefulness. I looked around, and there were a few people in sight: a young couple holding hands and laughing across the street, and a few people walking by themselves. He wouldn’t hurt me with people around. Right? He said himself that he wasn’t going go hurt me, but could I really trust that he was telling the truth? I looked up at him. He looked right back at me patiently with soft, caring eyes. I studied his face as he studied mine. There was no way in hell he could fake such a calming and careful expression. He didn’t have this look on his face when we first saw each other, either. I took a deep breath and answered his question, “….Yes.”

He smiled, as if he was proud of himself, then took his hands out of his pockets, slipped off his bag, and placed it on the ground. He crouched down to look through the contents of his bag, and carefully took the jacket out. It was less of a jacket; much fancier looking. Like a blazer. A sports coat? It was black, not stained with blood, and it actually looked very expensive.

He stood back up and gently placed the fabric over my shoulders. “There you are, beautiful.”

“Thank you,” I said while he zipped back up his bag and started walking again. I followed him. His jacket was very warm and soft, and smelled of sweet, expensive cologne. I hugged it tightly as we continued walking.

Changbin finally stopped when we reached a door in the middle of a random alley. It was sketchy-looking. The building walls were made from brick, and the door was supposed to be white, but it had been stained brown at the bottom from probably mold. There was a single light fixture just above the door, and the bulb flickered every few seconds. This clearly wasn’t the main entrance.

Changbin opened the door all the way, and held his arm out to signal me to go in first. “Ladies first?” The door lead to the space behind a bar, and on the bar were tubs of ice cream. There were some workers and a few customers inside. Changbin looked at me and waited for me to go in.

“No, you go in. Ladies not first.”

He laughed quietly. “Okay, but it’s really not that scary.”

“Mhm.”

He walked inside, and I followed as he continued holding the door opened for me. He stepped up to one of the workers, and whispered something in their ear. They immediately told all the customers that the shop closed and they needed to leave. Unsurprisingly, the worker looked terrified. Changbin thanked them, and the workers and the customers left the building. He walked back over to me, who was awkwardly standing by the door.

“What was that for?”

“You didn’t want people to see us with blood all over ourselves?”

“I guess that’s fair.”

“So,” he walked over to the bar, where a plethora of ice cream flavors was held, “what’s your favorite flavor?”

“Ummm,” I walked over to see what kinds they had. There were the classic chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, but there was also probably every type of fruit, coffee, cinnamon, gingerbread, and the list went on and on. “I like vanilla.”

“What? You’re crazy!”

Everyone always made fun of me for liking vanilla. I guess it was the fear that was built up inside me that night that caused me to overreact and snap at him. “I’m crazy? I'm not the person who dumps a body in a bin like he does it everyday!” I didn’t realize how loud I was being.

“You trying to get me caught, beautiful?” He smirked, not seeming a bit afraid that someone might have heard me.

I ignored his question, still offended, “What's wrong with liking vanilla?”

“I don’t know, it’s kinda… boring?”

I rolled my eyes.

“Okay, vanilla it is. Just for you.” He reached out to grab a large cup, then took the largest scooper, and filled the cup full and then some. “This good?” He looked at me and showed me the over-filled cup.

“Yeah, that’s fine.” He handed it to me, and then took my hand and started walking. “What are you doing?”

“Getting you to follow me to a table.”

The inside of the building was actually quite nice. The brick walls were painted white, and there were colorful light fixtures above every table. The whole shop had a cute romantic theme to it: every table had a small vase with one rose, the walls had heart patterns and paintings on them, and the chairs were pink and white to tie everything together.

Once we reached a random table, Changbin pulled out a chair for me. Not wanting to admit that I found it super sweet, I argued, “I can pull out my own chair.”

“You can also say thank you,” he argued back with a a smile.

I sighed, and sat down. “Thank you.”

“My pleasure, angel.” He pushed in my chair, and sat down across from me. “Oh, shit, wait.” He got up, and walked back behind the bar to get something. He came back with two spoons. “Mind if we share?”

“Sure, I can’t eat all of this by myself. You put way too much in.”

“I thought you could use an excessive amount to drown out some of the traumatic stuff you saw tonight. I’m sorry, by the way. I never intended for anyone to hear that.”

“Well duh.”

He giggled at my answer and dug into our cup of ice cream. As we started to eat, I felt slightly uneasy. The thought that I was with a murderer reoccurred to me. He was so kind, I practically forgot. My legs shook slightly as I replayed the events of the night in my head.

Of course, Changbin saw this. “Hey, look at me.” I met his eyes. They were gentle and kind, as if it was the biggest deal in the world to him. “I will not hurt you,” he reached for my hand under the table and I slightly flinched. “don’t do that, beautiful,” he looked at me, even more worried.

I took a deep breath. “Sorry, I just-“

“No, it’s okay. I know you’re probably rethinking everything right now. But I need you to stay with me. Remember that I have not and I will not hurt you. You’re gonna get to go home tonight, and I’ll make sure you’re safe with not one scratch on you. I promise.” I squeezed his hand, and took some time to reestablish my breathing. We sat there in silence for a while, until I finally started to feel a little bit better.

“I really like these roses on the table. They’re my favorite flower; I always loved how beautifully the petals form a little design.”

Changbin smiled, happy that I was feeling a bit more comfortable. “They’re not as beautiful as you.”

“That’s the cringey-est shit I’ve ever heard.”

“It’s true. Did I tell you that you look so amazing in my jacket?” He bit his lip. “You know, you should just keep it.”

I realized I was still holding his hand, and let go. “This? I can’t keep this. There’s no way it wasn’t like… three thousand dollars.”

He shrugged. “It looks better on you though.”

I could feel my face getting red, and I desperately avoided his gaze. “Can you stop flirting with me right now? I literally saw you kill someone like 30 minutes ago.”

“Sorry, I didn’t realize I was flirting.” I looked back at him to find him smirking. I looked at him with an unamused expression. He winked at me.

“You’re impossible.”

“Okay, if it’s really making you uncomfortable, I’ll stop.”

“Thank you.” Did I really want him to stop though?

“Do you really want me to stop though?”

It was like he could read my mind. I stayed quiet for a few seconds and took a bite of ice cream. “Can we not talk about this, like, right after I saw you kill someone?”

“Oh my God, stop bringing that up like it’s such a big deal.”

“Changbin! It IS a big deal! You literally took someone’s life away. You can’t act like it was nothing when you literally-“

“Look, I have my reasons, okay? You don’t know the whole story.”

“What is the whole story then, hmm? What good reason could you possibly have to kill somebody?”

“Y/n, please don’t make me talk about this right now. I just wanted to take you here to calm you down.”

“So, what you’re saying is, you don’t trust me enough to tell me.”

Frustrated, he leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. “You know damn well that’s not what I’m saying. Just eat your ice cream and shut the hell up.”

We stayed quiet for a really long time. My mind raced while we finished the ice cream together. Why did he kill that man? I probably shouldn’t have gotten so nosy. I raised my voice at him, which was risky. What if he hates me now? What if he wants to kill me? I could feel a few tears build up in my eyes.

“Changbin, I didn’t mean to make you upset, I’m so sor-“

“Stop, it’s my fault,” he didn’t sound very sorry though. Talking a deep breath, he stood up and walked over to my side of the table. He could see that I was about to cry, and placed his hand on my back. “let me walk you home, angel.” His voice was calmer this time.

Both of us stayed quiet as we got up and left the shop. I couldn’t help but think about what was going to happen now. He still said “angel,” but he wasn’t saying anything else, and he didn’t apologize. Maybe if I just didn’t say anything, he wouldn’t get any more mad.

Once we were outside, I realized that I had to tell him where my apartment was. “You lead the way,” he didn’t sound mad at me. Maybe it wasn’t that big of a deal. I was probably just overthinking again. But now I had to tell him where I live? My body started to shake again. I lived in an apartment building, so if I just refused to take him inside, maybe I’d be safe. Considering that maybe he didn’t work alone, though, he could have his connections. I told him earlier that I trusted him, but he got so defensive about killing that man, and… did I actually trust him or was I just scared? He’s been so nice, but he snapped so easi-

“Beautiful?” My thoughts stopped completely, and I met his patient and caring eyes once more. “You okay? You’re doing that thing again where you look away from me and freeze and start shaking, then you start tearing up- it’s actually very concerning, you know.”

“Oh, uhh… yeah, I’m okay.”

“Okay, can you walk me to your house please? It’s late; you should get some sleep. And I’ve got things to do…”

“Yeah, it’s umm- it’s this way,” I slowly started leading him to my apartment building. Only the worst raced through my head with each step I took. I wished I could disappear. I wished I could run for it. Why did he HAVE to walk me home anyway?

“Umm, y/n, you’re walking kind of slow.”

“Oh my god! Shut up! How is your brain not processing that I’m terrified to lead you to my HOUSE?!?! Where I LIVE!?!”

He stopped walking and grabbed my hand. I, too, stopped walking and looked up into his eyes. This time, he actually looked a bit afraid. “You have to understand: I’m afraid of this night ending too. I’m trusting you not to tell the police. I’m trusting you not to tell your friends, your family, hell, your dog even-“

“I don’t have a dog.”

“Okay, well, you get the point. I’m putting a lot of trust in you. Now you have to trust me. Please tell me that at some point tonight you’ve seen that I really do care about you and your safety.”

Trust him? I thought about everything that had happened that night. Even though I witnessed something truly terrifying, all my brain could come up with was how much he took care of me. He gave me water, his jacket, told me I was beautiful numerous times, led everyone out of the shop so we wouldn’t be seen because I brought it up once, pulled out a chair for me, calmed me down time and time again, and he even risked his life by putting the only weapon he had for self defense-his gun-in his backpack unloaded because I was afraid of it. But more than anything, he was so gentle with me. He did get angry, but he didn’t once raise his voice, even though I did.

He was patiently waiting for a response. Still holding his hand, I yanked it to get him closer to me. “Okay, come on then. You’ve got stuff to do, and I should get some sleep.”

Masterlist

[the-curious-butterfly]

I was inspired by a really good Clankie angst idea made by @a-dauntless-daffodil so I wrote one for Spawdeen:

The Ghost Amulet

Everyone was happy when Clawdeen and Spectra first became a couple. Clawdeen spent weeks trying to plan how she would say it and nothing went to plan, of course, but everything turned out perfect in the end.

They’re so cute and wholesome. Clawdeen walks Spectra everywhere.

Spectra will use doors even though she can phase through walls just so she won’t leave Clawdeen behind.

Clawdeen gives her gifts in the form of new charms and stickers for her ICoffin.

Spectra won’t even pick it up whenever she’s alone with Clawdeen.

At first everything is amazing and wonderful

Until one day Spectra notices Clawdeen looking longingly at other couples as they cuddled on benches and held hands as they walked.

At first she tries to ignore the way that makes her feel but she can’t do it for long so one day she breaks and says

“I’m sorry”

“Spectra, what’s wrong?”

“I see the way you look at them, I’m so sorry that I can’t do those things for you.”

And Clawdeen feels really bad cause she didn’t realize when Spectra noticed. She also feels super guilty for having those kinds of thoughts in the first place.

“Spectra please don’t say that, I like you for you. It doesn’t matter to me what we can or can’t do as long as I get to be with you.”

It does help to comfort her a bit but a part of her still wonders how much better things could be for them if she just found a way to be solid.

So she searches for a way in the library where she runs into Twyla who tells her she’s already read the Gs and did read about a ghost amulet

“It isn’t something to be found but made by the ghost who wants to use it. It grants said ghost the ability to take human form”

“That’s great.”

“But the book also says there’s a risk to the amulet. Overuse of it could have the ghost permanently becoming human.”

“Oh….what counts as overuse?”

“I don’t know, it didn’t specify.”

But still this is wonderful, she could tell Clawdeen and they could finally be together like all the other couples.

“No” is the first thing out of Clawdeen’s mouth. “I don’t think it’s a good idea.”

“But…Clawdeen…”

“Please, Spectra, just-“ Clawdeen hesitates for a moment “I told you it didn’t matter, I genuinely do like you the way you are. You don’t have to risk becoming human.”

“….is it really so bad if that happens, then we could-“

“Spectra are you listening to yourself?! What about going to the phantom realm where your family is? Your dream of haunting one of the most terrifying places on earth? You would have to give all that up as a human, being a ghost is who you are….Spectra I love who you are.”

That was the first time Clawdeen ever said “I love you.”

Spectra doesn’t know what to say.

So she just flies away.

And while that should have been the end of it and made her feel happy and satisfied. It does the opposite. She wants more than ever to be able to give Clawdeen what she wants. Or at least what she thinks she wants but just won’t admit.

But teens will be teens so she fails to realize Clawdeen has been nothing but genuinely honest.

She makes the amulet, which is surprisingly easy all things considered when everything needed is something you could find at Monster High.

The next time she stands before Clawdeen it’s as a solid, she’s literally standing there and at first Clawdeen doesn’t know what to say or do.

Does she be upset? Does she be happy?

But then Spectra hugs her and Clawdeen can’t help but wrap her furry arms tightly around her ghoulfriend. She has wanted to hold Spectra like this for so long.

But this isn’t right a part of her mind says. And it takes all her willpower to let go and say it allowed. But she can’t, because she notices something that ghost Spectra doesn’t have. Or at least it doesn’t show.

“You have freckles along your cheeks and nose.”

“Yeah, I was surprised about that too.”

Clawdeen takes a moment to really take Spectra in and my claw. If Spectra lived in the human world she’d be the one all the boys and girls would either want to date or be like. She was so beautiful.

No Clawdeen can’t think like that, ghost Spectra is beautiful too, she’s beautiful no matter what form she takes.

“Clawdeen?”

“I just, I have to go.”

“Clawdeen wait.”

“Spectra please, I can’t, this isn’t-“ you? But it is isn’t it? It’s Spectra no matter what form she takes.

But there’s still the risk

As long as she doesn’t overuse it

We don’t even know what counts as overuse

So then we make an effort not to find out

“Clawdeen?” Spectra sounds like she’s about to tear up so Clawdeen decides she isn’t going to leave.

“I’m sorry this is just a lot.”

“I know, it is for me too.”

“Are you sure this is what you want? That you’re not just doing this because you think it’s what I want?”

“At first it was like that but I’m sure now, it felt really nice to hug you. I want to be able to do more of that.”

It was really nice

“And there’s something else I want to try now.”

“What’s that?”

“Could you close your eyes?”

Clawdeen obliges and Spectra closes the space between them.

The feeling is, warm and soft, like nothing either of them have ever felt. They’re both blushing when they open their eyes.

At first it’s great, they only really use the amulet when they can’t help the desire to feel closer. So about an hour every week.

But then Spectra starts using it more and more often, for as much as two hours at a time which has Clawdeen concerned but nothing serious has happened yet.

Until one day Spectra asks if they could go on a date in the human world. She knows all there is to know about trends in the monster world. Now she could learn about the human ones without worry and, even better, Clawdeen will be there.

Win win

The date is wonderful but just as it’s about to end, around the five hour mark, Spectra feels herself go very weak to the point she can’t even walk anymore. Clawdeen has to carry her and she runs as fast as she can to her house.

She wants to take the amulet off of Spectra but if she does it here she’ll risk exposing her. With Spectra feeling this weak she’ll barely be able to hide herself if someone pays them any attention.

So she runs and runs and runs. She doesn’t stop even when her lungs burn and her arms feel like giving out.

Spectra starts coughing up..blood. Ghosts don’t have blood. What will happen if she becomes human?

Clawdeen doesn’t want to think about it she just keeps going.

Finally she reaches the safety of her home and rushes past her very concerned father. Wasting no time at all she rips the amulet off of Spectra’s neck.

Nothing happens

No it’s not nothing, something does happen but not what was desired. Now is she not only coughing up blood but she’s sweating profusely. And Clawdeen doesn’t know what to do so she turns to her father with tears in her eyes.

“Dad” she says in the tiniest voice he’s ever heard her use and one he never wants to hear again.

“Get her to the couch, I’ll see if I have something in my monster gear that can help her. You can search your mom’s things.”

Clawdeen nods, she really doesn’t want to let go of Spectra or leave her side but she manages to set her down. Having a task to do helps but not before she plants a kiss on her ghoulfriend’s forehead.

“I’m so sorry, Spectra, I should never have allowed you to keep using the amulet. You were perfect just the way you were. I love you so much, please, please don’t leave me.”

Just then the sweating and coughing stops. As Spectra’s breathing slowly returns to normal her fingers and the tips of her shoes just as slowly start becoming translucent.

Clawdeen could not help the choked sob of relief that came out of her throat when it turned out they barely just made it in time. “Dad! Dad come back she’s-“ she can’t even finish her sentence.

Her dad comes rushing back with all kinds of things in his arms but he drops them all as soon as he sees them.

“Dios mio” it sounds like he’s crying too.

“Dad, she’s going to be okay.” It’s similar to the voice from before only this time much easier to listen to. Still, he rushes over to her side and puts an arm around her.

“Yes, pup, she’s going to be okay.”

When Spectra regained consciousness there was Clawdeen with her head down asleep by her side. One of her paws was phasing through her closest hand. Turns out it takes just as long for a ghost to regain their ghostliness.

She dares not wake Clawdeen up after all that but when their eyes finally meet again. Turns out the tears were not done being shed.

“Hey”

“Hey to you too.”

“Are you feeling okay?”

“Yeah, all things considered.”

“That’s good, really really good.”

“Hey Clawdeen”

“Yeah?”

“I love you too.”

Clawdeen doesn’t say anything, instead she closes her eyes and leans in. At first it feels like nothing but then the nothing changes into something. Something cold and tingly and without shape

And it’s perfect

They go back to school and never use the amulet again.

Their relationship is perfect just the way it is.

I recently downloaded a book called “Not All Himbos Wear Capes” by this author named C. Rochelle cause yesterday was like a free Amazon ebook giveaway type thing and I was scrolling through the lists with my friend and this particular one stood out to me cause both the cover page and the title made me crack up - also it was a queer novel so - fdaiofjao that’s not the important part of this post -

I read it and I’m actually flabbergasted by how much these characters remind me of a - way waaay more exaggerated and satirical mind you, and i’m like 99% sure this book is satirical because they live in a city called B i g C i t y, so this feels like a call out to every single superhero movie out there that’s set in a b I G  C I T Y  (ahem new york ahem), and because a lot of the dialogue and names and stuff were absolutely RIDICULOUS in the funniest way possible, I paused several times to just stare at the ceiling and wheeze, it was cringe in a “this sparks joy” type of way, y’know? - version of Steve and Tony.

Like all the plot and the characters + the superhero and villain system and the world building concepts are original so it wasn’t similar per se, but specifically these two characters made me feel nostalgic enough that I sat up and took notice -

Spoiler warning:

The character of Butch - which is the superhero in this superhero x villain duo - first of all, named Captain Masculine (”CAPTAIN” my brain screeched at me) which is The Funniest name I have ever had the privilege of seeing on a superhero, i love it - while way less jaded than Steve is, less traumatized than Steve is - uhhh maybe not less unhinged than Steve is - and way more wholesome innocent, has moments where his demeanor is super reminiscent of what I’ve seen in early 2012 stony fics and some marvel 616 characterizations of him. He’s generally thought of to be a kind person, who has a public reputation that has been controlling all of his decisions and movements for years. And he goes along with it cause he wants to help. Sound familiar?

And Xander - aka the villain - is very much a scientist with multiple PhDs, a marine biologist and a genius inventor, no powers of his own (at the beginning ahem) - called Dr Antihero - is someone who is of course thought of as a villain in the general public even though this man really doesn’t try all that hard to be villainous, doesn’t believe himself to be a good person even though this man genuinely is a pretty good person who’s trying to use his smarts to make a difference in the world. Which is super reminiscent of the characterizations in alternate universe fics where Tony becomes a supervillain (usually for good reason).

There’s a lot there that’s not the same of course, most of the plot is this author’s own - pretty well written surprisingly, admittedly I didn't go into the story with any high expectations, the science was a little iffy but it wasn't the main point of anything so it was fine - and I still view Butch and Xander as their own characters - and i want to make it very clear that they remind me of the fanfic characterizations i’ve seen of steve and tony not the actual canon characterizations because the mcu sucks ass wait what who said that (i hadn’t gotten through all the comics by the time i lost interest in marvel so i don’t 100% know how the comic versions of them are)

If anyone who sees this post is interested in reading the book I also gotta warn that it's 18+ the smut dialogue is hilarious (in a good way - well to me it's a good way cause I had fun reading it even if I did find it cringe at times) but tis still smut

And I was all set to convince myself i was delusional until I SAW THE FANART PRINTS THEY PUT AT THE END OF THE BOOK AND MY MAN XANDER HAS A GOATEE????? AND BUTCH IS BLONDE WITH BLUE EYES????  IN A BLUE UNIFORM??? XANDER’S VILLAIN COSTUME HAS GOLD ACCENTS???

*insert “YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MOTHERFUCKER LOOK LIKE??!!! LOOOOOK” audio*

ALSO THE BOOK HAD MARVEL REFERENCES

Am I just trippin because I don’t know anything about this particular author - maybe i’m just pointing out the obvious - this is the first book I’ve seen of theirs but were they a stony fan in the past??????? Perchance???????

This has been an absolute adventure and a half
