not to sound anti-science or anything but i feel like a big reason for general human suffering right now is because we know too many of the secrets of this world

What would you choose? :0c
(note: original image is from HERE (link) - but I edited it to add a wider variety of options.. also added $3 extra to the total, even though I know that makes it more uneven lol, I thought if you're adding 10 whole extra items, the money to spend should at least be increased slightly, if that makes sense..)
#I would get orange juice. black coffee. AND iced coffee ($3) because I love the variety of having multiple drinks#then sausage and scrambled eggs ($8). Then sauteed mushrooms ($3)....AND... hrm.. then spending the remaining $4 would be hard#I wish I could get waffles (as they are my favorite and are superior in every way compared to pancakes. donuts. etc.) but I'm not willing#to give up the other savory things just to get them. so... then maybe I could get a biscuit or english muffin? and just put jam or#honey butter or something on it so it can be my replacement 'sweet and bready' thing instead of something from the $5 row??#OR I could also just assume that having the orange juice plus iced coffee would provide enough of a 'sweet element' to the meal#(since I largely prefer savory foods. I only like a tiny bit of sweet added for variety) and thus forego any sort of#'bready' thing entirely and just get the bowl of beans/onion/tomato (I'd leave the avocado since I don't like the#texture of them really lol). THEN I'd have $1 left to get the milk or the black tea... increasing my total of random drinks..#which is always the goal of course.. as a chronic ''person who is sipping at 5 different drinks at their desk simultaneously always'' perso#OR... I could just do.. waffle. scrambled eggs. sausage. mushrooms. and black coffee and orange juice.. which is... okay variety#augh... so difficult.. As my Ideal Breakfast is like a buffet type thing or something where you have like 25 different things to choose fro#and can get a little tiny bit of everything. My eating style is very much like.. I'd rather pick at a small amount of a ton of#different things than just have a very large amount of only one or two things. Thats why I LOVE sample platter type stuff.#So it's like... augh... the ideal option would be a tiny portion of EVERYTHING actually lol...#Difficult to choose...#ANYWAY.. Also no idea why I added croissant instead of bagel. I only thought about that afterwards. I do actually like bagels.#I've only ever even had a croissant like 2 times in my entire life. Yet I've had many bagels. For some reason it stuck out in my mind more#when I was considering 'essential breakfast foods' somehow... how could I forget them... bagels my beloved...#Blame it on the hot weather... 'What in the blazes? The sun hath obliterated the concept of bagels from my miind!'#(< meant to be said in a silly overdramatic elderly wizard accent or something)#Also I don't think ''bowl of beans. onion. avocado. and tomatos.'' is necessarily a breakfast classic or something gbhjjh#but I was just trying to think of a versatile vegetable-ish side that could be full of common breakfast additions#so people could do stuff like ''oh I get the toast option and then the bowl of stuff and I put the avocado on the toast'' etc.#Like a mix and match. You could mix ingredients from different parts. You could put scrambled eggs and bacon and onion#on the bread or soemthing. etc. I just feel like something is always missing if a Full Breakfast Spread#doesnt have some sort of onions or beans or mushrooms or asparagus or spinach like... some sort of thing that isn't just eggs and meat and#bread.. you know? lol..#But then again.. I am the Sampling Plate Style Variety Lover and Tiny Portion Of Food Picker so maybe thats just a me thing.

why the fuck ISNT there a bridge to shelter island actually. its like two feet away from mainland long island. i think mostly rich people live on shelter island so you’d think maybe it’d he like nimby shit. but surely it is not uncommon for shelter island residents to have jobs on mainland long island and i feel like having to take a fucking ferry as part of your daily commute to work would surely be annoying as all hell regardless of how much you want to gatekeep your rich nimby neighborhood

Uuuuuuh, an idea has just arrive on my mind🤭 you know that boys usually tease girls they like right? I’m really curious how Tachihara and tecchou would do it… (I’m really curious for tecchou😭)
Teasing their crush
Tumblr media Tumblr media
♡ pairing: Tecchou Suehiro, Tachihara Michizou, Dazai Osamu, Fyodor Dostoyevsky x fem!Reader
♡ synopsis: How do these boys tease the girl that they like (that's you!)?
♡ cw: Swearing, Jouno suffers a lot, Fyodor is toxic as always, mention of suicide, I somehow manage to bring Astarion up here?? (sorry)
note: i know i know. it's been a while, and i apologise. i just have been so so busy. right now i'm in an exhausted trance writing this and i'm certain i'll wake up tomorrow with no recollection of writing it at all. also threw in dazai and fyodor for the sillies i hope you don't miiind~ as always apologies for errors and i hope you enjoy x
Tumblr media
Tecchou:
I cannot see him teasing you.
I'm sorry anon but I just can't see him teasing a girl he likes. He would either be generally nice to her, super awkward but still okay, or just come off as cold and aloof. He wouldn't go out of his way to tease a girl or exchange playful banter with her
If he ever tried to tease he would probably just straight up be mean and insult you or something. And then he wouldn't understand why it didn't work
(Jouno is smacking his head against the wall)
Don't worry. If he's gonna cope with his feelings for you he's gonna do it in a way that benefits you i.e. he's just going to be super obvious about it and not even try to hide it
(update: Jouno is still smacking his head against the wall. someone help him)
Like he'll just openly buy you food and presents and tell you he likes you and like hold your hand and shit?? Tecchou is no-nonsense. He wants to date you, he'll let you know.
And it's not like Tecchou's trying any 'techniques' or anything like that. There is not a THOUGHT behind those beautiful eyes; he's just following his heart <3
Tecchou might be a bit dense when it comes to such socially complicated things as courting, but he's a genuine person and wants to make you feel appreciated, and let you know he loves you. He just does it in the only ways he knows how <3
Tachihara:
The opposite of Tecchou
He's such a teaser. He likes to make jokes with and poke fun at his love interests, but sometimes might go a bit too far with it (If he does he genuinely feels super bad and apologises dw T-T)
Like he's one of those kinds of guys who you would get so caught up in the flirty banter with that you just talk for hours
If you're texting you guys are both kicking your legs and squealing in between texts lowkey, like you're secretly such lovesick dorks but you play it so cool
Some kaguya sama love is war type shit you guys have going on
And god forbid you do this in front of other people. They're probably SO uncomfortable. Like oh my god get a room already (this dot point was ghostwritten by Jouno)
As you two get more and more into it, he becomes less tease-flirty and more sweet-flirty. He genuinely compliments you instead of exchanging little jabs and backhanded teases, and it's so CUTE
He also, for some reason, gets more shy instead of less shy. He blushes, he messes with his hair- AUGH he's so cute
In all honesty no matter what way, shape or form Tachihara flirts with you, even if he's awkward and fumbles each time, he's still such a charmer that you can't help but love him anyway. some messy hair and a sweet boyish grin goes a LONG way!
Dazai:
This is what I like to call Egotistical Flirting
He will tease you by telling you how much you love him, how much other women love him, how wonderful of a guy he is and how great of a deal he's constantly offering you. Yes, the 'deal' in question is dinner and a movie double suicide
And of course you roll your eyes and chuckle, and while he pretends that he's all offended that you aren't openly falling for it, he LOVES that. He loves your affectionate sarcasm and he could milk it out of you for days if he had the time
And he doesn't even wait to even learn your name before he immediately goes full on womaniser. He would just approach you like 'Heyyy~' and it's all downhill from there.
Dazai is a man on a MISSION is what I'm saying
He will also tease you by embarrassing you. He just says the most oUT OF POCKET stuff out of nowhere in public?? He absolutely delights in seeing you get all embarrassed and having you swat at him and scold him
(He's a bit of a masochist don't question it)
Naturally, this is generally a facade to hide the fact that he is hopelessly infatuated with you, and kinda scared of commitment. He hopes you'll accept him as he is but just in case... it's easier to put up a nonchalant front.
Don't worry Dazai. you've got nothing to worry about. :)
Fyodor:
Mind games. Mind games. MIND GAMES
And not the good kind!
He will tease you with this neat little trick he uses called psychological warfare. In his experience it's 100% effective
Fyodor is a toxic little shit. He doesn't often really 'tease' so much as 'neg'. He doesn't quite care too much about your esteem as long as he's able to make you like him back.
You guys know this thing called Ascended Astarion? yeah this is basically just that but ✨ Russian ✨
All this being said he actually does feel affection and love towards you, and he DOES care. He just doesn't want you to reject him, so he'll use any trick necessary to prevent that (regardless of general ethics for the most part)
Fyodor is an all rounder. He'll tease, show genuine affection, neg, flirt, stalk, lovebomb...the whole shebang (I'm sure he asked Nikolai for tips, and I'm even more sure Nikolai had MANY)
Fyodor is just so emotionally out of touch when it comes to other people that he genuinely has no idea how to just...flirt, or even really be casual, like a normal person. It would be sad if he wasn't such a motherfucker
Honestly all of you 'I could fix him' girlies would fall hook line and sinker for this (and I'm allowed to say that because I am one of you)
In the end...man, just date Tachihara
Tumblr media
taglist~ ♡ @gettinshiggywithit, @fyodorhatr, @flower-of-darkness, @bejeweledgirl, @kokoenjiandco, @pinkiipeachiikeen, @call-me-albie

Wolverine Tickle-Cannons!
Tumblr media
My Deadpool headcannons can be found >>here!!<<
A/N: yeah uhhhhhh no one look at these /j 😭😭 I am aware that I have requests to get to but I do not have enough motivation to complete a fic rn and Deadpool and Wolverine is all I can think about right now sooooo here’s a lil bit of food for y’all 🤲🏻
Another thing: These headcannons are for Deadpool 3 Wolverine only, as I haven’t seen any other movies with him in 😞 so these may not even be accurate and incredibly ooc butttttt oh well :3
⚠️ Another thing!! These do contain minor spoilers soooo feel free to come back to this later 👋🏻 Hope y’all like these!! :]] ⚠️
@neppy-34 I apologise I stole some of your ideas we shared feel free to sue me 😞🙏🏻 /lh
Lee:
Tumblr media
Yk what??? Fuck you /pos *slams down a bunch of possibly ooc headcannons*
HES TOO GRUMPY I NEED HIM TO SMILEEEEE
Definitely deadpans you like in the gif above if you ask him the dreaded “are you twordish?” question
But he is :]
Like we’ve all seen that X-Men scene that reveals his stomach is ticklish right??
ALSO. HIS FUCKIN LAUGH HERE (scene from the movie used)
THE WHEEZE AND THE SNORT JUST AUGH (imma get him)
His weak spots are definitely his belly and ribs but I feel like Wade would also scratch behind his ears or under his chin to be an asshole
“Whosh a snorty wittle honey badger, huuuuh? You are! Yes, you are-!”
“SHUT THE FUHUCK UP!”
To add onto this he also cusses like a sailor when getting wrecked
Acts incredibly pissy before, during and after getting wrecked, but lets out these like…. content little growls JSJSGAHSHD IDEK ANYMORE DUDE
Will definitely need to restrain him if you don’t wanna accidentally get sliced by his claws or kicked across the room
Like he definitely cut Wade’s hands off once and he was like
“…Bud I kinda need those to do this-“
“Why the hell do you think I just did that?”
ALSO ALSO the scene in the bar where he was drunk?? Bro literally giggled omg
So he’s definitely an easier target if he’s drunk like his claws barely come out and he smiles so much more 😭❤️
But once he sobers up he acts way more grumpy than he usually does, claiming he doesn’t remember any of that shit even though he does VIVIDLY-
Okay one final thing Wade definitely carries him like a bride to milk the joke that he’s short asf in the comics
Ler:
Tumblr media
Y’KNOW WHAT?? FUCK YOU AGAIN /pos (slams down even MORE possibly ooc headcannons)
Okay lemme just start with the gif above??
Like that’s literally him if you’re being annoying and he’s trying so hard to just deal with it but then you drop one joke that really riles him up
“…Okay, that’s it, you little shit-“
Okay I feel like this is something that you’d really have to get his playful side out for him to do, but the scene where he dashes towards Wade on all fours??
Yeah he’d do that in a chase
Like specifically to scare Wade
“Oh, we’re gonna do this? Fine, let’s fuckin go.” *gets down and SCARPERS*
“*SCREAM-!* HOLY SHIHIT SPIDER SOCIETY COME GEHET YOUR FUCKING BOSS-“
(yes I did drop a Miguel Ohara reference because that was the first thing I thought of watching that scene for the first time 😭)
Oh and he’ll definitely wreck Wade to tears if he’s being too irritating
Like?? There’s a way to shut him up that doesn’t involve him uselessly stabbing him because he’ll only regenerate anyway?? Fuck yeah‼️
I doubt he’d be one to tease per se, but he’s definitely a massive asshole about wrecking you
“Jesus Christ, you’re loud. You mind? I’m trynna focus here.”
“This isn’t fair? Life ain’t fair. You’re the one who decided to mouth me off, so who’s really at fault here?”
HED ALSO DO THIS THING WHERE while he’s wrecking you he’ll suddenly stop and be like
“So? You ready to stop being a jackass?”
But you’re still too giggly and busy trying to get your breath back to respond so he’ll go
“No? Alright, suit yourself.”
Buuuuuut sometimes you may catch him smirking or chuckling at how much you’re laughing your ass off :]
Raspberries and tickle bites?
………………….yes
Like bro look at those fuckin MUTTONCHOPS
They would tickle so bad omfg
Like imagine him growling into your neck or belly or AUGHSHSHAHA
okay I’m done
And as a lil bonus here’s some more silly ideas involving ‘The Greatest Showman’ references because we both thought that shit was hilarious 😭😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
AAAAAA hope you guys liked these I am very insane about Deadpool and Wolverine if you couldn’t tell :33

Hi! May i request for a heartsteel! (All of em) x artist! Reader, reader has a sketch book of them and they saw it when they were roaming around the reader's room. How would they react? Tysm!
Heartsteel x Artist!Reader
Context: You're staying/moving to their place
Aphelios
Tumblr media
APHELIOS OML 🧚‍♀️
Anyways, you're staying at his place for a while due to an argument with your roommate.
Aphelios was laying on his bed as you shower, on his phone ordering some fast food for all three of you (alune, you and himself)
He turns around, laying on his belly when he notices that he's laying on something.
He pouts before sitting up on his knees s and taking the book that was under him in his hand.
His phone lays on his pillow as he silently, but curiously, skims through the pages
He stops at a page where he notices a familiar face.
It's him
With out a mask
He turns to the next page.
And his sister is on it, then him, then hom again, sett, ezreal, him again, yone, and more.
His eyes sparkle as his face, under the mask he wears everywhere everyday, slowly becomes pink.
All the comments beside the drawings of him, the stars and hearts around it, the small characters commenting on it.
He's so entranced that he doesn't notice that the water stopped running.
It is only when he hears you call out to him for a towel that he stops staring at the masterpieces you made.
He's so great full and happy and glad and AAAA
His brain is going overdrive with thoughts as he grabs a clean, fluffy towel and crack open the door to the bathroom.
Shoving his hand inside, he feels you grab the towel before he comically rushes to close the sketchbook and put it where he found it.
He orders the food and just smiles and kicks his legs in the air in happiness.
When you exit the bathroom, you just see him silently giggling and kicking his legs.
He's so cute hhh
Ezreal
Tumblr media
You're moving to his place
Señor bunny teeth decides to help out with the boxes of clothes and things
He's just
So so so excited to add more personality to his place!
He's so excited to see you everyday in the morning, after work, before sleeping, seeing you naked, seeing you waking up, having sex with out interruptions.
What a dream come true!
While he's thinking of such, the last box in his hands, with a mark saying that it goes in the bedroom.
When he opens the door, after passing by you and getting a good ol kiss on the cheek, a large smile on his face, he squats down to place the box down when,
It pops open
All the books come tumbling out of the box before he can react.
Sweat dropping, he pales as he folds the box and started to freak out.
One of the books that fell opened to a page with a drawing of himself
He felt as if time stopped as he stared at the drawing
His cheeks turned pink as a cheeky smile stretched out on his face.
He grabs that sketchbook and sits down like a child playing with blocks.
He scans through the rest of the book, most of the drawings being of himself in different clothing and positions ( 😏)
He giggles and kicks his feet, tossing and turning on the floor before clipping through and teleporting towards the couch where you're laying.
He smiles, and shoves his faces into your tummy, your sketchbook in his arms as he giggles.
"I love you so muccchhh!!! Augh your art is so good!" He lifts his head off of you, chin digging into your tummy.
He continues to ramble on, saying that he'll show K'sante and Sett these for their next hit! And more
You cover your face, knowing that he will not stop talking about this.
Yone
Tumblr media
You're staying at his place, summer vacation has arrived for you and you wanted nothing but to see the man of your dreams.
I love him sm
Yone, as the gentleman he is, accepted you with open arms and tons of kisses before accommodating to your needs.
He was really planning in sleeping on the floor, nuh uh he's not tho.
While you're sitting on the dining table for two, a pencil in hand and your trusty sketchbook in front of you
He came behind you, two plates of food that he had just finished making.
He was taken of guard before a slight smile takes over his fine face.
The drawing was of him cooking
He leans down and blows on your ear, making you jump back.
He chuckles before placing the food down near you, perfectly plated for a celebrity.
He walks back to his seat as you place your sketchbook away and wait for him to sit down before eating
He makes a mental note to ask for you to show him your sketchbook.
Sett
Tumblr media
He's so cute!
You're staying with him for a while due to your parents kicking you out for a while.
Your boyfriend never liked your parents, they were quite mean to you.
It reminded him of his father.
He knew how to comfort you, and his mom totally loved you, probably even more than him!
So when you suddenly appear at his moms place with a grim look on your face, wet from the rainstorm.
He, of course, let you in and took your bag off of you so you could go wash up.
Sett goes to tell his mom about you being there before going to his room and placing your bag in his room and getting one of his hoodies for you to put on and a towel.
By then, you've taken off your clothes and entered the warm shower
Sett gives his hoodie and the clean towel to his mom to place in the bathroom as he starts getting his bedroom situated
He scavenges through his plush collection for your favorite plush, cleaned up the slight mess he had in the corners of his room
But when he picked up your wet bag to place it in a more convenient place did it get messy.
The bottom of your bag, such a worn out bag, broke and all the things you had in there, fell out onto his floor.
But the main thing he took notice off is a book that fell and opened.
The page had his face on it
The face he made in the MV of their song.
He froze for a second before continuing to collect the things on the floor and placing them somewhere more clean.
But he couldn't stop the soft smile that he sported on his face.
Kayn
Tumblr media
SIR
Augh he's so hot its unbearable
He's coming over to your place.
He just can't be away from you for so long, a week, without complaining.
So when he comes back home to an empty living room, the shower not running, and he's now noticing that your car isn't in the garage?
He's sitting down on the couch and pouting like a little baby
Rhaast the decides to complain because you're not here, and that his shirt is suffocating him.
But kayn is sad, sob
He does the off his shirt though
and rummages through your fridge
And goes to your room and just takes in your smell.
The main thing about you he really loves, other than how you tolerate him and other people around you, is how you smell and dress
He jumps onto your bed and lays down before noticing a shiny little thing on your desk
Kayn, sadly, gets up from your bed and walks towards your desk, sitting down on your chair
He notices that it's unlocked, a key beside it.
He smirks, you have a diary???
He turns to a page and
It's not a "dear diary.." started but his face
It looks like a character sheet of himself.
Kayn has never looked so fine in his eyes oml
His brain basically said "AWOOGA"
He basically fell in love with you all over again no joke.
Kayn takes out his phone and starts taking pictures, he's for sure going to look at these and take every piece of detail he can.
K'sante
Tumblr media
This goofy goober
He's so kewl
You had moved from your place to his recently
And he noticed that your side of the office has become quite messy while you were out getting some groceries.
And he decides to take initiative and organize your part of the office to a comfortable liking
Putting papers on one side, pencils where they're supposed to be, sketchbook beside the keybo-
The damn sketchbook fell and the pencil inside of it rolled away.
Great
He stares at the sketchbook in disspointment only for his expression to change as he pics up the much smaller book
It's him! Awe he looks so nice in your style!!
He skims through the rest of the sketchbook book, keeping a finger in the page that it opened on.
'You're so cute,' he thinks, placing down the sketchbook to were he was going to before it fell.
You bet he's gonna draw you and tape it on your monitor for you to see.
Alune
(There's literally no gifs of her, and that makes me sad)
Tumblr media
ALUNE
Ms pretty lady
she found that you left your sketchbook at her place.
She, of course, found it because you left it on her bed and curiosity picked at her and wanted to know what was inside!
So she took a peek
And was very pleased at what she found.
So, unannounced, she appeared at your front door with a large smile on her face, telling you she's gonna sleep over for today while handing you your sketchbook.
You both sat around on the couch as she told you that she took a peek in it and saw your talent
And then she just rambled on and on about the future, animals, and the band!
She's so sweet and cute
---------------------------------------------------
Note!
Uhhh so, you didn't specify if you wanted female or male so I did gender neutral 🧚‍♀️ I also wanted to do alune (even though I don't know ow much about her woops) because I wanna show appreciation for her!! Other than that, I also changed the request a bit, and I wanted to keep it a bit interesting so most of them didn't look around your room woops sorry.
Either way! I hope you enjoy it! 💙💙 thank you so much for being my first request!! 💙💙💙🧚‍♀️

Food For Thought!
T141 x Southern!reader
+ Simon "Ghost" Riley x Southern!reader
Tags: fem!reader! plantonic with the rest of the crew but you and Simon have a little something something yk?, canon typcial crusing, fluff, the boys just being silly, american and british bickering
a/n: so remember that little brain fart I had? so this is what happens when your bored with nothing to do <<33 I know that this won't do many southerns justice, we're all different from different cities to towns but I just wanted to share this with yall :)) also please tell me where yall from! I really want to know! Enjoy!
"What the hell is this (reader).." Price mumbled under his breath. He cranked his neck back as he looked at you with disgust. You rolled your eyes as you set the plate of fried chicken, string beans, and a nice, thick, creamy and chewy mac-n-cheese. "Okay, I'll go get the sweet tea. Do not and I mean do not touch anything!" You warned, leaving the dineing room to the kitchen. Soap came in as Ghost followed. "Aye. The hell is that?" Soap asked, sniffing the air to the unfamillar smell.
Price hunched his shoulder, and turned to the kitchen as you digged into the fridge trying to find the homemade sweet tea you made this morning. "I don't know, she made this mess. It looks greasy." He huffed. "I heard that! You haven't taste it yet!" You came back with a huge jug of sweet tea, the men looking at you with bewilderment. Gaz, running late had came into the dining room, his cheeky smile fading once the scent of southern food hit his nose.
"What's that?" He looked over to the abunces of food. He smiled as he turned to you and helped you with the jug of tea. "Thank you Gaz, anyways. I know you brits-"
"I'm not British." Soap shouted with offense. You all looked at him and then turning the attention back to you. "Anyways! This here? This here is the shit. Your taste buds will never feel the same after you eat these homemade classics of the south!" You squeaked. The men looked over at thefoood, the grease and butter glowing in the light. The men sruvnhed their noses as they groaned in disgusted.
Your feelings where slightly hurt, but as a proud (southern state) native, you must bring them the food from the home of the free. Eitehr way, any food you cook could explode their brains. "Think we should try it L.T?" Soap asked looking up at him. Simon had a bit of a soft spot for you. He loved your american accent, the way you had some much pride and respectful for yourself. He thought it was attractive. Might I say sexy? He was head over heels fpr you and wanted you to like him as much as possible. And if that means to eat your seemingly gross and fatty american food, then so be it.
"Wouldn't hurt to try." He simply said. "Really? Don't wanna be fat like them americans!" Soap joked. You reached over and punched his shoulder as he laughed. "Oh please! Half the people in this country needs a nice oral cleansing..”
Soap rolled his eyes and ignored your jab at him and moved on. “I think we should try it. Don’t seem so bad.” Ghost mumbled as he sat down next to you, his arm resting on your chair. “Really?” Gaz sighed.
“Yeah. Don’t seem so bad. Just Mac-n-Cheese.” He huffed at Gaz with a slight scorn to his tone. “Whateva you say I guess..” Soap sighed as he sat himself down at the food. “I want to try the tea first.” Simon said as he pointed to the tea jug. “Sure!” You stood up and pour each and everyone of you a cup of homemade natural born tea.
“Alright! Drink up!” You cheered. Price, oddity sniffed it and pushed the drink away. “No.” Ghost lifted his mask up, and took a sip before hacking and lammend the glass on the table. “AUGH! AUHN! WHAT THE FUCK?!” He screamed as you laughed at his intolerance to the sweetness of the tea.
Gaz just smacked his lips and pushed the cup away from him as well. “Too sweet, urgh!” He groaned as he smacked his lips and slapped his tongue to the roof of his mouth. Meanwhile Soap was still taking sip after sip of his drink, almost gone at this point. “Seems like you liked it Soap!” You giggled.
“I just like sweet stuff alright?” He chuffed as he sucked the life out of the cup. “I win!” Soap scoffed as he snatched Price’s cup of tea from him. Price didn’t seem to mind anyways. “You’re not gonna try Cap’?” He shook his head no, “I need to watch my blood sugar nowadays.” You chuckled at his words. Such an old man thing to say. Or someone who has diabetes. Either way it’s kinda funny. Not really.
“Okay try the Mac-n-Cheese now!!”
(Should I add onto this?)

EEEEE I LOVE THIS SM
I JS WANTED TO SAY HI AND REQUEST OF A LITTLR HEADCANON OF A MUTE M!READER WITH GRAVES OR GHOST PLS
🥺🙏
ALSO THAT GRAVES POST GOT ME KNEELING
AUGH THANK YOU SM 🫶🫶 some of these are just general head cannons but I thought I'd add them anyways :)
Ghost:
Knows a little bit of BSL and a bit of ASL from Roach, so when you show up and greet him, he immediately knows and tries his best with the basics
Likes the quiet, so it makes it a lot easier to worm your way into his heart
When he confesses, he does it in fluent sign language so that you know he's trying for you
Pretty good at reading facial expressions, so most of the time he already knows how you feel
Sometimes when you're around strangers that he doesn't want to be around he just grumbles and says "my boyfriend said no." While you try to hold back a chuckle
Staring contest enthusiast
Graves:
I'll be honest, unless you bring a notebook the first time you meet him, this guy has absolutely no clue what the fuck is going on
He's asking you things and doesn't know a lick of sign language, so he's just staring at blankly you as you try and communicate
Once he actually starts getting feelings for you, though, he'll start to learn at least the basics of sign language so he can try and impress you
Takes you out all of the time and the waiters always gives him dirty looks because he orders his food and then the waiter turns to you and he's just like "He'll have the __"
Buys you a notebook to write in, a real fancy one because he thinks that fancy things will absolutely impress you
Just overall tries to impress you all of the time, cheers and lifts you up if he gives you something and you give him your little thumbs up
Will introduce you to literally anyone possible and if they don't know sign language he'll be like "haha I understand him and you don't"
Cocky bastard

Tumblr media
it was an ordinary day as you made your way back from the grocery store. you’re well-aware that he’d stop by later in the night for a quick meet up; maybe it was in your subconscious but when you pass by the flower shop, you couldn’t help yourself as you picked out some flowers to form a bouquet with him in mind.
hours later, dinner prepared, the smell of food wafting in the air, a couple of lighted candles and tired smiles but the glow of love is present. all he wants to do is bask in your presence, in this moment with you but when you giddily tell him to close your eyes! i got something for you! he obliges and closes his eyes, even though he doesn’t necessarily want to and...
[🐰] soobin soobin gets a little fidgety, crossing his arms in front of his chest as he leans back in the chair. he hears the sound of plastic rustling and your excited giggle for him to open your eyes, soobin-ah. he tests the waters with peeking one eye open, then the other and he gasps when he sees the colourful forms of flowers in front of him.
he hesitantly accepts them when you put them in his hands, kneeling on the floor as you look up to his expression. you can tell he’s about to ask what’s the occasion, so you start to explain before he has a chance to ask; doesn’t look like he can, anyway. he looks like he swallowed his tongue, all words he’s ever known or read in his life to be gone in an instant.
“don’t ask what’s the occasion, i just wanted to get you flowers because i thought of you.” moving to stand, you ruffle his hair before you walk over back to your seat, sitting across from him with a grin. he looks at the flowers, then at you, then back to the flowers (and sees no difference in the beauty). he admires the flowers for a quiet moment, then looking at you with genuine gratitude, “thank you.”
“augh, you’re welcome, handsome. now, let’s eat!”
he nods just as enthusiastically, but his mind is still on the flowers even as he sets it aside on the vacant chair next to him. as he talks to you over the course of the dinner, he can’t help but glance at the flowers occasionally and try to imprint this memory in his mind.
tl;dr: soobin will be absolutely whipped and loves it. gets shy in front of you but then later shows you much appreciation for getting him flowers. returns home that night all smiles and staring at the flowers as he falls asleep. will probably take a billion photos and sets one of them as his wallpaper. (which you come to find out the next time he asks you to check something on his phone and grows shy when he knows you’ve noticed his new wallpaper)
[🦊] yeonjun with his eyes closed, he impatiently wiggles his body so that you two–”c’mon, i wanna see you! i didn’t come here just to close my eyes when you’re right here with me!”
"you big baby,” he can already imagine the grin on your face, “here, open your eyes!”
yeonjun does as he’s told, boldly opening his eyes without any hesitance and lightly jumps at the sight. it’s... they’re... flowers. in a beautiful shade of baby pink and hues of baby blue; the fusion is gorgeous and the arrangement looks something straight out of a pinterest moodboard. he gapes at it and glances to you, back to the flowers, then back at you and points at it, then himself, “f-for me?”
you nod with a grin, trying to pass him the flowers (or get him to hold onto them). the longer you wait, though, you play a trick from his book and–”ah... my hands are getting tired...”
“oh,” he quickly takes them, not wanting you to strain your hands any longer but he only realises that he’s been played when you chuckle and start to move back to your seat opposite him. he deadpans at you momentarily, but doesn’t last long when you’re giggling at him like that.
especially... not when you’ve just bought him flowers. he looks like a fish out of water, mouth opening and closing as he tries to find the right words to say, to ask, to wonder out loud–”w-why?”
you shrug as you pick up your burger, a cheeky smile he’s able to see past the food you have up in your hands, “i just saw them, wanted to get them for you, and so i did.” you lower your burger before you can take a bite, squinting at him, “why? i can’t buy my boyfriend flowers?”
“no!” he retorts almost too quickly, then he notices how loud his voice was that he lowers it, “n-no... but i just–”he leans in to give them a smell, and you hide the fact your face is about to hurt from smiling too hard by taking a bite of your food, masking your happiness through chewing quietly”–no one has gotten me flowers before and i...” he peeks up to you shyly, a soft tint of pink painting his cheeks, very fitting with the flowers in his arms, “...love it. i love these.”
“you’ll soon love the burgers more than the flowers. eat!”
he threatens to smack you with the flowers and it makes you laugh. you’re well-aware that it means all he wants to do is show you how much he appreciates the fact you got him flowers but you told him you’ll appreciate that after he appreciates how good the food is. listens to you right away as he sets the flowers on the table between the pair of you, leaning towards the side of the table. as he takes a bite of his food and loves it instantly, nothing can beat the sight he’s granted with of you smiling widely, enjoying the quiet as you two eat and the feature of the flowers you’ve bought for him accompanying. 
tl;dr: yeonjun is absolutely appreciative of the effort and the thought that goes into you buying the flowers. it may seem simple but he appreciates it so much. considering he gives it his all and i mean all and no less in anything he does, his relationship with you is no different. whenever he sees something and he’s reminded of you, he doesn’t fail to let you know (or purchase the item to give it to you when he’ll see you next). so the fact that you’ve done the same for him, well, let’s just say yeonjun’s grown another level of love for you (which he didn’t know was possible).
[🐯] beomgyu beomgyu tries to whine his way out of it, saying that all he wants to do is look at your pretty face and eat good food with you, not close his eyes. but he obliges when you tell him it’ll be worth it. or you think it would be worth it and he should shut up and just trust you.
“you’re so mean to me,” he moans, “always telling me to shut up and shit...”
“here,” you scoff a laugh, half-shoving the flowers into his hands that it forces him to hold on and open his eyes at the same time. a garbled sound gets stuck in his throat but he manages to calm his expression to show he’s not that surprised.
“flowers?” he chuckles, more in disbelief than humour as he’s able to get a glimpse of your eyes looking up to him as you’re kneeling before him. “no, sticks and leaves–yes, beomie, flowers.”
“dork, shut up,” the sound of beomgyu’s laugh is beautiful as the sight and you try not to poke fun at the way he brings the flowers close to his face to smell them. “huh, well what do you know? they smell like nothing.”
“well your head has nothing,” you stand to your feet, intending to walk back to your seat across from him but he’s quick to hold the flowers in one hand, the other snaking around your waist so he can hug you loosely. he has his chin pressed to your abdomen, a smile lining his lips, “my head is filled with thoughts of you, loser.”
you can’t stop yourself from smiling back at him as you run your fingers through his hair, then stepping closer when he sets the flowers aside so he can wraps his arms around you, tightening his hold.
“thank you for the flowers,” he murmurs against your tummy, his cheshire-like grin coming into view as he presses a kiss there, “they’re pretty but you’re prettier.”
tl;dr: this guy loves gift-giving at random times so the fact that you got him something just because you felt like it, already has his heart swooning. would probably dry the flowers out and put them into a jar. would make a small one for you so he can give it to you :”) (beomgyu puts the ‘a’ in romantic, guys, we’ve been known–) he’ll probably try to one-up you on this soon, though. expect flowers very, very soon.
[🐿] taehyun taehyun doesn’t think much of it, shrugging as he flutters his eyes shut and he waits. this man trusts you wholeheartedly and if you told him to jump, quite frankly, he would. the logical side of his mind clicks off sometimes, and it’s dangerous as it was heartwarming at the lengths he’ll go with you.
his waiting is short-lived and he flinches when he feels... what... what is this?
he peels his eyes open carefully and slowly, not wanting to be surprised or shocked by the sight he might come across. what he does see is something that makes him relax as he circles his other hand on the bottom of the–”f-flowers?” 
his eyes grow wide, his signature confused yet adorable face comes to view past the blossoms of pink, purple and white that frames his features beautifully. yet the confusion on his face is something that makes you laugh as you sit back down across from him.
"yeah, flowers.” you nod, no follow-up that it makes him huff.
“why? did i forget something?”
“...you forget that i’m your partner and i can buy you things any time i want?”
he deadpans at you. “you know that’s not what i meant.”
“okay, okay,” you hold your hands up before you begin eating, “i just saw it and i thought of you and i wanted to get you flowers. simple as that.”
at your answer, it seems like you’ve solved the riddle in his mind and short-circuited him at the same time. the sight is uncanny but it does make you chuckle a little.
“any more questions, handsome? or can we eat?”
“thank you,” he says, softly, almost so soft you can barely hear it but you can, even when he lowers his head to admire the flowers he’s holding. you don’t reply with words but instead motion with your eyes for him to begin eating with you. he gently sets the flowers to the side and you ignore the way he tries to be subtle with taking a photo of the whole setup with the flowers at the corner. he’s back in the moment with you after a couple of photos and he joins you to eat but even you and him know that when he’s alone, he’ll probably think about this a whole lot more.
and your shared smiles to each other promises that.
tl;dr: the silent appreciator. he adores it quietly and even in the moments you’re not with him, he thinks about it often. would probably take a bajillion photos so he can admire it during the moments he misses you and may or may not set it as his wallpaper for his chat thread with you (if possible). he might look like he doesn’t appreciate it or loves it but boy oh boy, he does. he’s just subdued with his reaction due to the surprise but when he processes it later on, he’ll probably tell you how grateful he was and how loved he feels. (cue soft taehyun)
[🐧] kai kai gets a little suspicious at first (because boy plays pranks too many times on people that he’s fearful karma would bite him in the ass) but he decides eh, whatever and closes his eyes. he may seem nonchalant on the outside but he’s a little fidgety with why you’ve asked him to close his eyes. before his anxiety can run its course, he hears your voice asking him to–”okay, open your eyes.”
he gapes at the sight of flourishes of light green hues with pastel pink and sprinkles of white in between. he barely has his hands out but he tries when you’re already handing to him–”flowers?”
“good to know your eyes work, huening,” you snort, ruffling his hair playfully. before you can make your way back to your seat, the grip around your wrist is what gets you to stop. chuckling, you glance to the side and soon enough, kai’s dragging his seat back so he can drag you to sit on his lap. he ditches the flowers (respectfully, onto the table next to the food) so he can put both arms around your waist as he hooks his chin onto your shoulder with this look of admiration you can’t quite decipher.
your hands smoothen over his arms, your back moulding to his chest as you keep your eyes on him... as he keeps his eyes on you.
“i love the flowers,” he murmurs, “thank you,” he presses a kiss to your shoulder, earning himself a sight that is far more beautiful than the flowers–more than any natural phenomenon, mother nature herself be damned.
the way you smile shyly as you lower your gaze to his arms wrapped around you, then the way you tip your chin up to meet his eyes as they soften the longer he stares at you.
“you’re most certainly welcome.”
tl;dr: prepare yourself for the softest man ever because he will and most certainly show you how grateful he is. though it might seem mellow at first, trust that he absolutely adores it. he tries not to get shy (even though his heart is racing) but it clearly shows when he’s stunned the moment you give him the flowers. then, when he’s able to allow his heart to regulate, he’ll latch onto you and try to cuddle you as much as possible to show how grateful he is. probably tries to d.i.y the flowers into dried flowers in cute bottles so he can give you one, too. (and if he fails, he’ll go to beomgyu for help, lol)

beware cuz tw disordered eating, tw smoking addiction posting ahead but like.....
the thing about smoking vs eating is that. smoking is SO MUCH EASIER TO DO.
eating has so many steps. make food (AUGH), put food on plate, sit down and focus to eat food, food enters mouth, must chew, must swallow, must ignore constant low-level nausea to keep food down, repeat until food on the plate is gone. currently im so low-energy and fatigued that this whole process of eating is exhausting to me, and at the end of it i get a tummy ache anyway and risk vomiting all of it out, so theres always a risk of all that hard work (it is...objectively not hard work, i know, but right now in my Mental State it feels like climbing a mountain every time i have a meal) being all for naught.
meanwhile the steps for smoking are Marginally Much Less. it's: get cigarette, light cigarette, inhale, exhale, repeat until cigarette is done. and usually once im done, i wont feel hungry for another half hour because nicotine does that to me.
but it's short-term benefits vs long-term benefits because obviously after enough cigarettes-instead-of-eating, the effects of Not Having Eaten And Smoking Instead stack up to hit me with one hell of a whammy of acidity and Even More Nausea and like
i am Well Aware im trapping myself in a cycle of self-destruction every time i reach for a cig instead of sitting down and eating but smoking is just. easier. and it relaxes me instead of stressing me out, and eating sometimes does stress me out because of the amount of work and focus it involves
this is all horrible by the way, im not endorsing this behavior im just airing out my thoughts. in fact, i am a case study in all the things you should Not be doing to your body
but addiction is just a really crazy thing lmao. like what the fuck do you mean i prefer killing myself slowly rather than having a filling meal. thats crazy. no sane person would have those priorities in that order
and yet

cw: oral (giving), g!p sakura
YEAH overwatch ranked is so mad 😭 had 2 people screaming at eachother for what? at least they use comms in diamond though… but at what cost bc everyones shouting at EVERYONE 💀💀
anyways yes onto g!p kkura thoughts 🤭 domestic girlfriend sakura <33 watching day off s3 had me thinking about thoughts- the part where she woke up before all the members and made them breakfast AUGH should wife her up fr.
she wakes up early just to make breakfast for the two of you. you wake up a few minutes after her, walking into the kitchen bc something smells so good. uhhfhfghdh hugging her from behind and wrapping your hands around her waist, kissing her on the back of her neck saying “good morning” in a raspy voice her weakness fr. you’re still tired as hell so you don’t notice the way she shivers from the contact of your lips on her skin.
youre just basically wrapped around her for the entirety of her cooking. she just felt so nice and smelt so good that your hand unconsciously palmed at her crotch “mmmmm,, soft” and she giggles at you telling you that she’s busy cooking and to wait for the food… she also has a hard on LOL but again, too sleepy to notice.
and ofc you realised she has one bc as soon as she sets down the plates and everything else on the table you’re springing out from your chair “kkuraaa- i’m hungry”
“i know i know, the foods almost done baby. why are you getting down on your knees?” taking her sleep shorts off, you’re still half asleep but yk what you’re doing. a very excited and confused kkura staring down at you.
“yeah no i can’t wait i’m just gonna-“ without any prep you deepthroat her with ease. in the middle of your kitchen as well likee 😭😭😭 fyi the food is burning but kkura is too concentrated on how your tongue is swirling around her length, like she fr forgot about the eggs on the pan bc the back of your throat feels heavenly.

More Black! F! Yuu scenarios and headcanons
Tumblr media
After the Mrs. Jackson incident, Malleus had a meeting with Silver, Lilia, Sebek, the Heartslabyul friends, The Octavinelle Trio, The Pomefiore trio, and Ruggie on how to season up their food.
👑: I can't believe you called us here for this.
🐉: Please, I need help.
🐙: Don't involve us in your unseasoned mess.
The Octavinelle trio leaves the room, leaving Malleus pleading for their help.
🐉: Wait, please, you're the only three white people I know how to actually use seasonings. Ruggie, help me out, you live in Savannaclaw.
🐆: And I'm just lightskinned.
Ruggie leaves after that making Malleus confused.
🐉: He's Black? Nevermind, just please help me!
🐆: Well, I guess you could do her hair or something…look, just do something that’s not weird.
With that idea, Malleus goes into town and buys every black hair product he sees on the shelves that you might like.
Then, he bursts into your dorm asking if he can wash your hair.
🦐: Yeah…sure…I guess. It’s wash day for me anyway.
🐉: THANK YOU CHILD OF MAN!
Malleus drags you into the bathroom and runs the shower head over your scalp.
His long fingernails practically massage your scalp as he washes it. It also picks up and takes out all the dandruff.
When he’s conditioning your hair, he decides to start small talk.
🐉: So, Yuu, how’s Grim?
🦐: He’s doing well. By the way, what made you want to do my hair today?
🐉: o///o well…I just wanted to be closer to you that’s all.
🦐: Aww, that’s sweet of you.
He washes the conditioner out of your hair, then puts the leave in on your scalp.
This is when the real fun begins. He’s perfect as finger coiling your hair, and with fae abilities, he can do all your hair within 30 minutes.
Then he grabs you, making sure you hold on tight to him, and he spins around creating a fire tornado to creatively dry your hair.
🦐: Wooo! Hahaha!
🐉: And done!
🦐: My hair looks amazing! Thank you!
When you hug Malleus, his brain stops operating.
Then when Malleus leaves, you can actually tell the truth to yourself.
You look like a Victorian child with ringlet curls.
Somehow, Malleus managed to do the method right, but the outcome was horrendous.
You call Jack, Ruggie, Leona, and Sam to help you.
🦐: *Sigh* Go ahead.
🦞: HAHAHA! GIRL! WHY DID YOU LET HIM PLAY IN YOUR HAIR?!
🦁: I knew that pasty lizard would do something stupid again.
🐺: I smell burnt hair.
🐆: Your hair is crunchy, and I don't even know if it's because your hair is burnt or if it's the gel cast.
🦐: I get it, I shouldn't have let that white boy do my hair.
🦞: Come on, let's help you out.
Each boy takes on a section, and they redo your finger coils.
After much time, they get your hair right(the results are the photo at the top).
When you leave for dinner, Malleus is beaming at you.
🐉: I knew my hairstyle would turn out well!
🦐: Well...you know what, it did.
🦁: *Growling from pure rage*
🦞: Let him take the credit, Leona. If you point out he messed up with Yuu again, he'll just do something even stupider next time.
🦁: Fine.
🐆: Did I ever tell you how Malleus thought I was white earlier this morning?
The four boys bust out laughing in the hallway.
🦞: How did you go from yellowbone to passé blanc?!
🐆: I don't know because everyone knows I'm lightskinned, but I guess nobody told him that! HAHA!
🦁: HAHAAHA!
🦐: *Choking on her laughter as it spills out* Don't worry Malleus-augh-it's-ha-it's- you didn't know-hahahaha!
🐉: *Whimpers into Yuu's chest*

Thanks for answering my ask! You just made me realize how interesting Halsey. I mean I always knew she was a complex character but I haven’t really read the founding halo books since middle school(?). Anyway you have now have me utterly fascinated with her and know I must consume all content relating to her (that’s written by nyland). Sooo thanks for that! Also the scene spartan ops where she learns John’s alive is the scene that has stuck with me the longest from that mode, that followed by the prison break or the warthog run mission.
You're welcome! God, she breaks my heart now. (This ask answer just turned into a fresh outpouring of Halsey thoughts/feelings and I hope they are interesting.)
Halsey is one of the characters that I sat down and was like I need to understand what their deal is when I started really getting back into Halo. It's really easy to just hate her because, you know, she's the architect of horrible things happening to children. But especially once I started understanding the food chain of exploitation that goes on within ONI it was like oh my god. Then going back through the diary and being like wait, how old was she when the Carver findings were being discussed? How old was she when ONI started to court her?
You realize that Halsey was also so young, and they groomed her and manipulated her and preyed on her and built her in the image they found most useful. And by the time she wanted out, she was too far in and they basically held those kids hostage by threatening to hand the reins over to someone who wouldn't have cared about whether they suffered more than "necessary."
Halsey was their useful monster and had to figure out how to keep living with herself, justifying the monstrosity, and just throwing herself headlong into her work. I'm still struck by how the diary shows her feelings about Keyes, it's not in-your-face but augh. Catherine Halsey, terrifying science witch of ONI, cold and ambitious and condescending, and Jacob Keyes was a gentleman to her and trustworthy with secrets.
On a related note: Something I've thought about a lot with Halsey is that, on its face, her having Miranda does not make sense. ...But then if you turn it in your mind, suddenly it does. Halsey is a doctor in the deep space future, if she did not want to have a child she would not have a child. What did she want by that? It was obviously not to tie Keyes to her, they never married and only occasionally saw one another (even though it's obvious how much they mattered to one another.)
Rampant speculation: I don't have a canon answer to that question, but the timing (during Spartan-II) maybe speaks to Halsey wanting to prove something to herself about her own humanity vs monstrousness. Maybe, if she could raise a child well, it would prove that what she did to those other children was not the whole of her.
And in the end, her work for ONI devoured her and she did fail Miranda. She tried for six years, and in the end she sent Miranda to live with her father because she knew she was not a good mother to that child. Halsey missed Miranda and even though her daughter took after Keyes so much more than her, even though Miranda wanted nothing to do with her, we know that Halsey used what influence she had in the UNSC to try to protect Miranda from a dangerous frontline posting that could kill her.
Even though the whole My-Spartans-are-the-next-step-of-humanity thing is bullshit to me, there are some things about her late-canon characterization that do make sense to me.
Imagine how bitter it must feel, how alone she is. Halsey believed, truly believed, she was sacrificing herself to protect other people. Halsey believed that great ability came with the responsibility to spend herself for what she thought was a good cause. So she did, and now here she is: alone and hated, with nothing to show for it but regret and isolation and death while she has outlived almost everyone she ever cared for.
