#and honestly when it feels like that it feels eaiser to just stay in the hole cuz I’ve been here so long

[ryderdire]

One of These days I will claw my way out of my depression hole, but let me rest on the way up please.

[nifaswriting]

Hey there u cutie :3 I came across your blog and I totally fell for your writing 💞 Can I request something for Smoker? Modern AU Headcanons or the "Love with XX is..." would be awesome! Please choose what you are more comfy with. Have a wonderful day 💕

Hello there, beloved ! Your request made my day, I'm very happy to know you enjoy my writing ! I hope you'll like this as well ♥

I chose the modern au because I got inspired, but you'll probably see the "love with" serie with Smoker at some point 'cause this man has me on chockhold, it's not even healthy...

Anyway, enjoy the little headcanons and have an amazing day as well ! ♥

P.S. : I made this waaaaay longer than expected haha ! Also, slight TW for mention of injuries, nothing bad don't worry, just thought I would put it, just in case ♥

Smoker modern AU headcanons :

To start somewhere, I strongly believe Smoker used to be in the army when he was younger, probably around his early/mid-twenties or something

His long life dream since he was a little kid was to serve his country and bring some kind of justice to this world he thought was way too unfair sometimes

But my thoughts is that he got involved into some traumatic near-death experience (more than likely the day he got that big scar on his face) at the beginning of his thirties

The recovering process was painful, yet his not-so-infamous will made it a little eaiser for him to endure

It also helped that he met you at that time : you quickly became his anchor when he felt like his determination was slipping through his fingers during hardest times

After everything got better for him, Smoker decided to quit the army to be able to start a long life with you by his side ♥

Back to the present we go !

Smoker now works for some kind of big lawyer company, either as a lawyer himself or as one of the big heads

He found in this new job a way to accomplish his dream while also trying to balance work and private life

Emphasize on trying...

This man works A LOT and he works so hard all the time it's giving him grey hair

Haha, get it ? Because his hair's white and stuff...

Most of the time, he comes home later than he first intended to

"I'll be back around eight tonight." is what he texts you, but you know he won't be there until 10pm or even later sometimes

And when he gets home, you're almost always already asleep because, as much as you love him, you too need your daily rest

Honestly, he can't blame you, and deep inside, he feels horrible that he's not spending enough quality time with you at home

Same goes for mornings : he gets up very early and usually you're still sleeping, so he just gets ready in silent, kisses you softly and leaves without a noise

Luckily for you, there are times when he's not so busy and you bet he's going to spend every single free minutes he's got with you, either at home or by taking you out

Nothing is too much when it comes to you, and somehow he loves spoiling you just a little bit when he has the chance

You want to try that new restaurant you saw on your way to work ? He's already booking a table for you both. You need new shoes or new clothes ? He's taking you on a shopping session. You want to stay home and cuddle him all day ? Watch a cheesy movie while eating take-out ? Fine by him, for your sake, he'll accept anything.

It's his way of showing you how much he cares despite not being there a lot

Such a sweet man ♥

Please though, if he's in one of his busy periods and you get the chance, visit him at work, he'll be the happiest man in the world

He doesn't look like it, his face remaining neutral the all time if not for the slightest of smiles curling the corner of his lips, but the moment he sees you walking past his office's door, his frown softens

It immediately lightens his mood and makes his day 100 times better

Bonus if you brings him something he enjoys like his favorite food/snacks or flowers (yes, he loves flowers, who would have thought ?)

On rare occasions, when both your schedules allow it, he offers you to eat lunch together, either at one of your workplaces or at a restaurant

Sometimes, your coworkers or Tashigi join you two intentionally and Smoker gets all grumpy because they're interrupting his precious alone time with you

Please, when it's just you two afterwards, give him a big kiss to get rid of his bad mood before returning to work, it'll help him feel better ♥

He's in fact just a big busy baby man, but you love him and he loves you dearly

Brothers anon, im gonna start combing the two separate submissions again cause its getting too short to have them separate I think?

1: His possession messed with memories Ranbob had before, so memories of school friends or playing with Ran were distant to erased. Though after Dreams possession it was also harder to make and keep memories. But thankfully as Ranbob was recovering from Dream and got futher away making memories came eaiser to him, though he'll never get back the memories he lost. 

3: Oh he would very quickly grow to regret his decision, but it would be funny. And Benjamin would later admit that while it was annoying and stressful, it was also fun and he was very happy to have his two families meet and generally get along. 

8: Everyone is just in shocked silence before Cletus just goes "YEAHHHHHHHHHH!" Oddly happy that Ranboo committed so much arson. Oh definitely, after all the outcasts of society where put there. Of course people would make such negative rumors about Mizu and treat the people as the scum of the earth. Though this also means, people don't know what happened in Mizu, and anyone who knows, view it in a more happy and a "Their finally gone" type of way, then viewing it as the tragedy it was. 

Spoons is a card game technically. A group of people sit in a group and everyone gets 4 cards, and you keep discarding at least 1 card of yours to the person on your left, who then does the same to their person on their left, the last person in the group puts a card into a discard pile. The goal is to get 4 of the same cards, and once someone gets 4 of the same cards, that person goes and grabs a spoon in a pile in front of them (let's say there's 5 players, theres only going to be 4 spoons cause there's always a spoon less than the people playing), once they grab one anyone can grab a spoon. And the person who doesn't get a spoon gets a S added to them, once Spoons is spelled the person gets out of the game, and a spoon gets removed to continue the game. Basically for flowers its played the exact same way but with flowers in the middle expect for spoons.

11: I just imagine Dream sulking in a corner as you yell at him and him going like "well I didn't know…" as he kicks a stone. And he wasnt sure what it was, but quickly jumped on the idea that maybe it was the fact that Ran was still alive somewhere, and that that's causing Ranbob to willingly let himself become weak and defy him. Causing Dream to become angrier at Ran and punish Ranbob harder. 

----

3: During the brothers fight in the storm, and after everyone runs off to find Ranbob, Ran is left alone. And he decides to just wander off into the storm, not protecting himself from the rain so he does get burnt. The whole time he's lost deep in thought and isn't really paying attention. He continues to wander for a whole day unfollowed (because after the Gladiators and Fishermen came back to the cave after finding Ranbob they are in no rush to find Ran and decide to look for him after the storm passes, which takes a full day) and at some point Raq finds him wandering. Which Raq then uses Rans distraction to his advantage and attacks him. At first only really the gladiators where concerned when they found Ran gone. But once they found him blinded and terrified everyone felt awful and a looming sense of guilt. And everyone continued to feel that way, even after they got the antidote and Ran started to see again.

4: They would just leave Ranbob alone and check in on him every now and again. But generally let him deal with it himself. They'd feel guilty leaving him alone, but they also know that they can't really do anything for him as their not prepared or briefed on how to help him in this situation. 

10: Oh definitely, even with Ran blinded they would've been kicked out immediately for fighting, without even a second glance. Dont forget, Ran still cares for his brother. And maybe, losing his sight made him face the side of him that wanted to become family again with Ranbob, maybe it brought enough to light that he just can't ignore it anymore. Mostly only negative potions can be permanent, like posion, blinding, wither, and nausea (I know the last like 3/2 are effects but they've also found a way to make effects into potions.). You already know what a antidote for blindness would be. A antidote for wither would be, a ghast tear (actually a basic ingredient for almost every antidote), blaze powder, and glistening melon to make a overpowered healing potion. Antidote for posion would be ghast tear, swiftness (so it acts fast to get rid of the posion), and the 3rd ingredient depends on what kind of posion it  was (posion that has a side effect of constricting or filling the lungs with water? Pufferfish and Turtle shell for last ingredients. Posion that has weakness? Blaze powder, and glistening melon) And antidote for nausea would be ghast tear, and potion of slowness to allow the person to slowly feel better, so their nausea doesn't hit them all at once before disappearing, which can cause them to throw up or have side effects. 

13: Thats exactly what they did. 

14: Jackie will 100% attempt to fight God and no one can stop him. :) (to be honest im not sure yet, I know I want to do more with Raq and have the idea that maybe he could be the person that finds Dream and gets him out of Mizu, but that's pretty often used in stories and I want to try to think of something more unique. Maybe I'll have it so Raq actually manages to capture the brothers or at least one of them and uses them as blackmail?)

15: When Ranbob was a child and Ran was just a baby Ranbob would often take Ran out of his crib and take him to go watch the fish swim by. When Ran was old enough he'd follow Ranbob everywhere, even a few times he managed to sneak into Ranbobs class room and almost wasn't caught. Ran got extremely clingy one day and managed to gather his haunting all up into his arms and carried them around, even though he was obviously struggling. And Ranbob used to complain about his teachers and idiotic classmates whenever he got home, which is funny when you consider Ran was very impressiable at the time and Ran started mimicking Ranbob, leading to him cursing, much to Ranbobs dismay. 

And im curious, do you have any questions that I havent answered? Or do you have any ideas for anything? I'd love to hear whatever you have to say about anything honestly!

Course! I dont have much lore wise other than they go to Kelalen and when they hear Dream is still around they decide to stay back to help fight him. But the idea I have is that Karl is just kinda hanging with everyone I listed, talking about allies or treaties when his time traveling clock/watch starts to go off, and he panics, but sadly in his haste to stop it he makes it worse and it grabs everyone, where they end up in the future. After hours of confusion and explaining they calm down. When 2 days later they find the Gladiator and Fishermen group, at first Karl is strongly against going to then for help, but everyone basically ignores him and go to ask for help. Hours of explanation and proof giving later the GF (Gladiator and Fishermen, got tired of writing it out) group sadly tells them that they cant really help. Until Ran (who was previously gone searching the surrounding area and making sure it was safe) appears high up on a tree (cause I just can't get the image of Ran on a tree and looking comfortable and confident as hell out of my head), and says that maybe Kelalen can help, if not going to Foolish may be a good alternative. Isaac, and Grievous are extremely against going back (at this time a 2 months have past since they left Kelalen)n saying it could be dangerous but Ran just aboustely shoots them down, along with Watson and Jackie agreeing with Ran, and Karls group agreeing to it. They head off to Kelalen. And Jackie is extremely excited at the potential of going to see Foolish finally. And it'd probably be like a sub au where the brothers au is the main backbone for it but at a certain point it separates from the au and becomes its own.

1: Okay, ouch. Can you imagine if Ran brought one of those memories up, and just had Ranbob look confused, or horrified, depending on how quick he realizes what happened? How would Ran react to that realization, both before and after he forgives Ranbob?

3: If nothing else, everyone got some laughs from it-even Benjamin, once his friends were far, far away from his family and not able to teach them more chaos. 

8: Cletus, why are you so happy? Do you just enjoy knowing chaos existed back then? Are you an arsonist? What’s up with you? 

Also, wow. Not cool, other city people, that’s very mean.

Spoons sounds like it’s interesting, I might try it sometime. Did the group just have those cards on them? What other games did they have?

11: Good, put Dream back in the corner, I’m gonna be yelling more. Because, seriously dude? I know you probably exist solely out of spite, but c’mon. Admittedly, from a certain point of view, it could be considered amusing that your first thought was that Ranbob was making himself weaker out of defiance/spite but like. From a more responsible and mature viewpoint, that’s incredibly stupid, and I-just. Buddy, hate to tell you, but I’m pretty sure that’d just be a you thing. Besides you were in Ranbob’s head, didn’t he think Ran was dead? It doesn’t even make sense. Good lord, I’m half-tempted to get the broom and chase you around like you’re a particularly unruly barn cat. 

------

3: First of all, that sounds really scary for Ran. Second of all, are we getting an overprotective arc?

4: Kind of sad, but understandable, they’re dealing with the situation as best they can.

10: Even if the group was provoked by the townspeople? Potions sound really cool, wish I could make those in real life, tbh.

13: W-what do you mean ‘that’s exactly what they did’? Anon, is your friend, like, a legit gremlin? I’m spooked. 

14: Foolish takes one look at Jackie, wearing a smile that exactly matched Tubbo’s when he was about to cause chaos, and immediately nopes out of that. He knows that face, and he will not be getting tangled into a fight with a goblin child today, no sir. I’m sure Jackie tries regardless though. (Also, that sounds like that goes horribly, do we get an overprotective ender-sibling, for whoever gets captured or used as blackmail, if that’s what you do?)

15: I love all of these so much, oh my gosh. Baby Ran seeing the fishes and following his big brother around. Poor Ranbob’s face when his baby brother cursed one day, Ran trying to carry all of his haunting. I’m in tears, honestly. 

Umm...I can’t think of anything right now, to be honest. If I ever do have a question or idea though, I’ll through it on the Brothers AU tag for you to check out, I guess. 

Oh, this sounds really cool. The part about them just ignoring their local time traveler when they’ve just time traveled particularly amuses me, as does Jackie wanting to see Foolish-I feel like Foolish may be a little more than terrified to see both Tubbo and Jackie back, honestly. Why was Ran willing to help them so much? What did they do to offer proof? How did Ranbob react once they proved who they were? How does all the group get along? Are they Ranboo’s haunting, and if so, if Ranboo gets close with his descendants, does he merge his hauntings with theirs? How does the time group feel about the Brothers fighting, and Ranbob’s possession?

❝ brother, oh brother of mine. ❞

WHO: magnus blackhart & anya cassel. ( @magnus-blackhart​ )

WHERE: magnus’s bedchambers in bearoria.

WHAT: anya confiding in her best friend of the little bean in her stomach that is half lucien.

anya: after hearing the news, she knew that she needed to tell someone-- someone dear to her heart: magnus. but would he accept her despite her betrayal ?? she didn't know. in fact, how was she even supposed to get anywhere near the king ? it was different when he was but a prince but now, now they were in the real games. after using some of her connections, she managed to slip into the castle, keeping her hood up and her head lowered. where would he be, exactly ?? she peeks up from her hood to scan the area around her-- hoping to find him and with such luck, she does. anya jogs over to him, clasping a hand on his shoulder to turn him about. "magnus," she breathes in relief.

magnus: Truthfully Magnus wanted to go back home as soon as possible, not only he had a funeral to do, he had to be properly crowned. But besides that, he just wanted to be back home, but then again, going back home would make everything more real, and was he supposed to stay in his father's room now? He couldn't. He was surprised when someone grabbed his shoulder and almost went to grab his sword but stopped when he saw the face "Anya...so...you're here." He was still hurt that he had left

anya: she can see the hurt in his eyes and all she wants to do is hug him but doing so in such a public place would be risky-- especially now. he's mourning and it hurts her to know that she wasn't there for him during his time of need. her hand squeezes in shoulder in reassurance before letting it trail down to grab the hand that rested on his sword. "i'm here, my king. i gave you my word i would return." she offers him a small smile despite the circumstances and gestures to the corridor before them. "is there some place private we can speak ?"

magnus: Anya had been branded a traitor when she left, and what he was supposed to do would be call his guards so she would be arrested and taken back to Ironhaven for trial and usually those accused of treason were sentenced to death. But Anya had always been like a sister to him and he didn't want her to be hurt even if he did felt betrayed when she run away to Dracborough. "Yes, my room is near...come." He said as he began to walk to his chambers, the guards in place outside didn't even blinked at the sight of him with some girl and he didn't care what they thought anyway. Once they were inside he looked at her. "I'm listening."

anya: she looped her arm through his, keeping him close and keeping her head down as they walked to his room. she did her best to hide her face from the guards, not wanting to cause magnus more trouble than she already has. but in the safety of his chambers, she takes a seat on his bed, letting out a breath of relief as she unveiled herself. "i'm sorry about your father, magnus," is the first thing she says with a heavy heart. she hadn't been too fond of the king but she knew of the deep relationship he had with octavius and respected it. she felt selfish for telling him her news while he was grieving. but perhaps it was now or never. "i-- i may be with child."

magnus: Magnus looked away, he didn't want to talk about his father, with other people it was easier to pretend like he was stronger and that he wasn't as hurt as he was, and though he knew he could show emotions in front of Anya without her thinking less of him, what he felt was beyond just mourning, however he knew he shouldn't tell what he had done. His thoughts about his father and how hurt he was about Anya leaving stop suddenly at her confession and he got closer to her "What?...Who is the father? He is taking responsibility isn't he? If not he is a dead man."

anya: as he spoke no words of his father, she knew that it was far too soon to give her condolences. part of her regret leaving ironhaven-- leaving magnus' side during his time of need. had she had stayed, perhaps she could have given octavius just a bit more time to say goodbye to his family. but for all she knew he did have the chance to say goodbye. she looked up at him at his words, frowning. "i know not if you know of him. his name is lucien, lucien dyer ? he's a knight of ironhaven."

magnus: "Yes I know him...I didn't know you two were together? I'm pretty sure he has been here all this time." Has he let her go to Dracborough on her own when she was pregnant? He was going to have a talk with him "You two are getting married right?"

anya: "we're not, not really.." she mumbled, thinking of their complicated relationship-- along with pyros. "yes, i-- i couldn't .. bear being here, magnus, forgive me. it was all just too much, with the death of king nathaniel. i just-- i know you love your father, but what he did was awful, i had to leave." but at his assumption, she blinks rapidly, unsure if she heard him correctly. "married ?? no, no. i don't think.. lucien will propose."

magnus: "Anya we are not talking about my father and what he did." He said harshly before taking a deep breath. "We'll deal with the fact that you have been branded a taritor later. because right now, the most important thing is make sure he takes responsability, I can't believe he thinks he can be a deadbeat father." he shook his head "I'm going to go and look for him."

anya: she kept her mouth shut as she registered his tone. of course he was still angry with her, she would be too, if she was in his position. perhaps it'd be better if she did leave, move to kradaeca with avery ?? "just-- just be careful. he's sensitive." she was walking on eggshells now, she didn't want to say the wrong thing and make him even more annoyed with him.

magnus: "I just want to make sure you and your baby are taken care off...I could so it but I do think is important they have a father in their lives and is will also make your life eaiser

anya: and despite it all, despite her treachery, he was still willing to stay by her side and look out for her. she truly didn't deserve to be friends with him. in fact, ironhaven finally received the king they deserve. her heart soared with pride at his accomplishments. "thank you, magnus. this-- it means a lot. i love you."

magnus: For the first time since his father died...no, since found Nate, Magnus smiled honestly, ot was a small smile but for a moment he didn't feel so bad "I love you too Anya, and your little baby." He sighed as teh darkness engulfed him again "I'll talk to Lucien later, I have to get ready for tonigt."

anya: "okay," she agrees, nodding her head. "i'm proud of you. i always am," she sighed, giving him a small kiss to his forehead. "i'll see you tonight then." was the last things she said before giving him one last bow and slipping from his room.
