game changer season 6 episode 7, beat the buzzer

[mrsmiagreer]

The slight discourse about race hc’s in the community has made me wanna put all my hc races of my favorite boys and their listeners

Warning!! I am black myself and these are just descriptions of what I see in my head based off of how the voices sound and what other people’s hc have made me see

David is white. He’s born tan though, Him and his dad are both on the darker side of white.

Angel is half white half black. So they’re fairly lightskinned.

Asher might be white and hispanic. I could see him whining “¿Por Que Mamiii?” whe his mom tells him to do something.

Baabe is black. Like big Afro and dark skin black.

Milo is black and Italian (And Irish). Colm is Italian so his skin is fairly light and his hair is really just fluffy and straight. Marie is a cute 5’0 darkskinned mama with 4a hair. So Milo is a good shade darker than caramel macchiato and his hair isn’t super thick, but instead super curly (when it gets wet it turns really straight and slick)

Sweetheart is black and mexican. They’re darker than angel but lighter than Milo. Their hair can get really thick when it’s dry but their curls loosen a lot when their hair is wet.

Sam is around the same shade as david, maybe a little lighter. I think that Sam’s parents were also on the darker side of caucasian and I’m a strong believer that Sam LOOOOVED the sun while he was a human. Being a vampire just turned him pale because of the whole sun thing.

Darlin’ is darkskinned. A good percent of their family from both mom and dad’s side is from Georgia. Big Hair, much like Baaabe’s but down their back.

Gavin is….I cant decide if i want him to be a hot pink-ish guy or if i want him to be a darkskin guy with dreads. (Demons do come in all sorts of colors shapes forms and sizes so it could work either way)

FL is my shade. Just african american. Super curly hair and always keeps their hair in a back puff so it’s out of their face. Around this color

Damien is white and japanese. I just know his skin is flawless. Hair grows ridiculously fast.

Huxley is either Samoan & white or black. Now there’s a few possibilities for Hux…

He has a buzz cut so that when he lays on the ground he can be “Closer to Earth”

If not a buzzer, it’s the most luscious curly/wavy and bouncy hair LITERALLY EVER.

If he’s black, he used to cut his hair off a lot because his hair got annoying to tame but decided to loc it up because he thinks locs are “sick”

Lasko is just white in my head. Brown fluffy hair and freckles white.

Guy is kinda tan white. Not as near as dark as David but a little darker than Lasko. I actually think Guy’s hair is kinda curly (it’s a pain to put that hair net on)

Honey is just white. I would say spicy white but they’re more like “black washed white” like “Grew up in the hood” white.

Blake is super white. Greenish blue eyes, black straight fluffy hair.

Bestie is black. A little heat damage because high school’s beauty standard is destructive, but very curly hair down to their shoulders.

Avior…I wanna say he’s grey. This pretty shade of grey that makes him look a little off white, but his hair and features fit his skin so well. He’s just a glittery guy.

Starlight is African american too. Really just like Bestie but with longer hair.

Vincent is sooooo white. I mean obviously bc of the vampire thing. But no fr he’s basically the color white. Black hair though.

Lovely is ALSO pretty white. Dark brown long straight hair and literally turns THEE color red when you embarrass them.

SYNOPSIS; my headcanons for what it would be like to date george. fred is alive and this would be AFTER the war when everyone is grown. feel free to use these in your stories! if it’s precise, like my quotes, just be sure to credit me.

RESTRICTIONS; preferably 18+. if you’re under 18, i only ask that you do not read the nsfw headcanons section. it is greatly appreciated.

WORD COUNT; 0.9k

WARNINGS; mention of death, sex, dress up kink

whenever you’re giving him the silent treatment after an argument, he puts your favorite snack on the highest shelf where you live and hides the stool. it’s how he gets you to talk to him. fucker.

he constantly asks if you still have a crush on him even after you eventually get married.

you tell him ‘sweet dreams’ every night before bed and he responds with ‘see you there’.

then he falls asleep in ten seconds while you stay up wondering if he remember to turn off the stove until you inevitably get up to check.

you guys build hella forts.

modern george would be the kind of person to angle his phone up so you can only see his forehead and one eyebrow during facetime calls, not realizing he’s on camera as well.

he likes to bath with you. he always sits directly behind you in the tub and tries to shape your hair into a mohawk with shampoo.

george loves hand holding. hand holding supremacy.

because you’re holding hands literally all the time, he likes to say ‘steady’ and twirl you around while you two are walking in public and then he places a gentle kiss on your knuckles.

he knows you’re very ticklish on your neck and likes to whisper the most obscure hilarious shit against your neck at random times.

you guys people watch A LOT. the two of you could literally commentate on others for hours, bouncing back and forth off of each other in good humor.

forehead kisses instantly revive his mood. it’s his life force.

he has to be sitting for you to give him forehead kisses bc he’s too tall otherwise.

he has accidentally used your toothbrush way too many times. they’re not even close to the same color.

fred used to pretend he was george to get you to tell him shocking information about george to blackmail him later. you eventually caught on and can clearly tell them apart now.

F: “Hey, love. Do you remember where I put my journal?” You: “Weren’t you just writing in it last night? It’s beneath the mattress. Like always.” F: “No bloody way. He still uses it?” You: “What?” F: “What?”

every opportunity to make a tasteless pun about his missing ear, he absolutely takes it.

george wakes up first and likes to spend his first hour just admiring you. caressing you with his fingers and brushing your hair out of your face. if you do anything embarrassing during this hour, you will be hearing about it.

he was terrified of cats when you first started dating. but he got you a kitten for your birthday after your last one passed and you were inconsolable. it looks just like your last cat.

george is now ultimate cat dad and probably cuddles the cat more than you do.

You: “Why did you take the cat to go poop with you?”

G: “He gets scared when I’m gone, y/n. I can’t leave him.”

you were best friends for a very long time before you started dating and you still very much act like best friends. because you are.

because he’s your bestie as well as your lover, he lets you do conventionally girly things with him if it means spending more time with you.

he would definitely by the type of boyfriend to let you do makeup on him for a youtube video.

G: “Am I pretty now?” You: “The prettiest.” G: Buzzer noise* “That was a trick question. You were supposed to say ‘yes but not as much as me’.”

he is always the little spoon and will fight for his life on this.

cracks out baby book every christmas at the burrow of him and fred. likes to point out that his butt was cuter and that’s how molly could tell them apart. fred and george usually end up arguing over this, fred claiming that george has them mixed up.

fred will naturally throw hands for you because george loves you so much. you are untouchable between those two.

george is so in love with you, it’s ridiculous.

even when he’s mad at you, he ends up taking the blame although you still apologize for upsetting him.

he just can’t rationalize you being anything other than perfect, even when you leave your hair clumps in the shower.

which he calls your ‘mini-me’.

NSFW headcanons.

he cracks jokes during sex. there is no escape.

those forts from earlier? of course you have sex in them. but only after popcorn and movies.

his hidden kink is dressing you up in sexy costumes and fucking you while you wear them. 

modern george would lose his shit over you cosplaying and probably help you make your cosplays.

but his favorites would be typical ones. like maid, school girl, nurse, probably princess leia at some point.

his favorite position is you on top while he just hammers into you.

george is a thigh guy. he grabs your thighs more than he drinks water. it’s his sustenance.

he loves morning sex. he’s so sensual and gentle in the mornings. something about the glow of sunrise really gets that man going.

mostly, he gets off by making you feel good and worries far more about your orgasm than his own.

makes bedroom jokes at the most inappropriate times.

*Sitting at the Weasley dinner table* G: *Cracks open fortune cookie and takes out fortune.* G: “Y/n, it says here ‘serious trouble will bypass you - in bed.’” You: “GEORGE WEASLEY it does not say that.”

Sanha- Elemental Powers AU

Word Count: 1,600

I’ve had a habit for corny lines at the end of the past few story lines >.< oops

Prologue/ Jin Jin/ MJ/ Eunwoo/ Rocky/ Moonbin/ Sanha/ Epilogue

y/n- snow Sanha- fire

Can two opposites really attract?  Fun at the Fair... SANHA YOUR FIRE! BE CAREFUL!

“Mmmmm the person I choose is….” -Ding Dong- “Oh. That must be the food we ordered. I’ll get the tip. Can you open the door y/n?” You nodded as she went to her room. You went up to the door, phone still in hand with Yoon Fire’s profile opened up. As soon as you saw the tall boy in front of you- you did a double take between him and the phone. He still didn't notice as he looked at the receipt and checked the order.

“y/n what are you doing? Get the- huh?” She gasp and the two of you just looked at him. Finally, he looked up as he placed the bags on the ground and looked confused. why would someone put the food on the ground idk but i didn't want him to drop it lol He then saw the phone in your hand, and gasped as he covered his mouth. “Your snowflake!” He pointed at you and started jumping. “This must be fate!” He beamed and took a hold of your hand.

“I'm Yoon Sanha! But you can call me Sanha!... Just you...” He looked at your friend as he whispered pretty loud whisper the last line to you. Still in shock you gave an apprehensive smile “I’m y/l/n y/n. You can call me y/n then...” He smiled at you sweetly. He looked so young and like a child- all you wanted to do was protect him. Sensing she was unwanted by Sanha of course your friend gave him the tip, picked up the food and went into the kitchen.

“Are you free tomorrow?” He smiled innocently. You nodded. “Will you go with me tomorrow? There’s a fair in town and I’ve been wanting to go but my hyungs don’t want to go with me anymore. Jin Jin hyung says I’m too old to be this excited about fairs now. Plus... I’d think I’d rather go with you.” You blushed and nodded. He giggled, “You’re so cute! Not as cute as me though... Mmmm no! You are cuter than me!” He said as he got closer to you making you blush more. 

Your faces were so close you thought he was about to kiss you. but nope cuz he's still an innocent child He jumped back up and gave you a bright smile. “I’ll pick you up at ten!” He began to run away while waving back at you. “So~ I guess you chose him then?” Your friend gave you a nudge with a playful look on her face. You made a snow cloud above her. “Y/N! I was kidding! I’ll help you pick an outfit for tomorrow! Just stop it!” You sighed as you walked away to your room and began to pick your outfit for tomorrow- not knowing what to expect from the bright and cute boy.

Meanwhile: “YOON SANHA! Why does our stove fire keep getting stronger!” “User error~” He joked as he stuck out his tongue. Suddenly he felt a shock from his hyung and he ran away to his room. To be honest, his heart was on fire after seeing you. He drifted off to sleep as he thought about ways to make tomorrow special. “Ah! HYUNG! A BUG!” “It’s just a dust bunny Sanha...” “Oh..”

You were all ready and nervous. It was almost ten am and you were sitting on the couch waited. “y/n, I know your nervous but you’re gonna turn into ice at this rate.” “Ah. Sorry... His power is fire...” “And?” “Mine. Is snow...” “So?” “Aren't they total opposites????” You accidentally yelled at her. “Just cuz his powers are the opposite of your’s doesn’t mean the two of you would be entirely opposite people. I mean he seemed really sweet and totally your type last night... Plus~ He can melt your snow for you so we don’t constantly have a bathroom filled with snow~” She dodged the snowball you threw at her and the doorbell rang. “Saved by the bell” You glared at her.

“Hi y/n!” Sanha stood at the door waving excitedly at you. “Hi Sanha! Bye bestie~... Oh and by the way~ You have a gift in your room! Run Sanha!” You grabbed his hand and ran from the door barely hearing your best friend yelling at you to stop the snow storm in her room.

Panting and laughing, the two of you slowed your pace. “What was that?” Sanha asked curiously. “Oh... She was messing with me before you got there so... I started a blizzard in her room...” You blushed realizing how embarrassing and childish it was but Sanha laughed. “Wow! I wish I could do that!... In stead I only burn things down...” Suddenly you remembered what his profile said “almost set my house on fire as a kid.” “I think there’s beauty in fire. Plus, I can only create. I can never melt my own snow or make it disappear.” His face suddenly lit up, “Really?? I can melt it for you then!” You smiled and noticed steam rising. You looked down, Sanha following your gaze, and noticed it the steam coming from your hands that were still intertwined.

Simultaneously you both spoke, “Ah sorry. my body gets [colder/hotter] when I’m nervous.” You made eye contact and both blushed. “Maybe it is ok to be opposites.” you thought. The two of you continued to walk hand in hand to the fair.

Finally at the fair, the two of you played various games at the booth. Every time Sanha lost he would instantly yell in disappointment, pout and suggest he could beat you at the next game. As you passed by a game booth with a prize, you noticed a cute stuffed toy these are of good quality not those really cheap ones and Sanha noticed. “y/n, do you want that? I’ll win it for you!” He immediately payed the worker and picked up the toy gun. His stance was funny but he looked so serious that it made him cute.

He had five tries to knock down the duck cut-out. First one: missed to the left. Second: way too high. Third: this time too low. Four: he sneezed and accidentally shot straight up. He immediately looked around to see if anyone noticed and turned red when he saw you laughing. You shot up your pointer finger to remind him he only had one shot left. He took his stance again and shot. -Ping Ping Ping- The buzzer went off and the worker congratulated him. He knocked it down perfectly earning him the stuffed toy you wanted. “See! I told you I could win it for you!”

You blushed “Thank you.” He smiled his innocent smile. You gave him a kiss on the cheek and his face turned to shock. You laughed as you grabbed his hand and ran off to go on the rides.

It was already late and the sky had turned dark. The two of you walked home but he led you to an open space at the edge of town next to the river. if you read Moonbin and Rocky’s story lines its the same place “What are we doing here Sanha?” He motioned for you to sit on the grass. “I was thinking about and I decided I wanted to show you how pretty my fire can be...” He stood in the center of a giant circle where no grass was growing.

He bowed and lit up flames in the palm of his hands. He began to juggle them slowly adding more and more. Every time he added a new one it was a slightly different color and slowly it became a gradient of yellow, orange, red, blue, and white. Back and forth between his hands was a beautiful rainbow of fire. Suddenly they flew up and created a circle above him. He began to add flames to the center of the circle. Once he was done, the circle of flames turned and moved down to face you. It wasn’t a circle anymore but a red and orange heart with blue flames making a snowflake in the middle.

He split the flames in half making them disperse just barely within the circle’s limits. He began to walk towards you. With every step he took, the circle of fire went down. Scared the fire would hit the grass- you got up and shouted, “Sanha! Your fire! Be careful!” But it was too late. He stood in front of you and grabbed both of your hands and said “I love you” with his innocent smile. The fire hit the ground just as he said it.

Instead of the grass going up in flames, the fire followed a straight line and suddenly. -BOOM BOOM BOOM- Fireworks began to go off above the river in front of you leaving your mouth agape. “It’s so pretty!” You looked back at him. “But not as pretty as you.” He grinned. You continued to watch the fireworks with him as you both lay down on the grass.

The next day (through text): “y/n! My hyungs keep getting mad at me that I don’t want to introduce you to them :(” “lol what did you tell them?” “I told them they have to get taller than be before they can meet you and then they started beating me up :((” “lol of course they can't get taller than you Yoon Sanha! Tell them let’s all go out tomorrow :)” “ugh~ fine~ but you owe me fries” “haha! yes yes” To be continued in epilogue…

Chapter 12

“And that’s another touchdown for your Briarwood Cougars!” The announcer says as I stand, along with Nina and the rest of the crowd and cheer. I was hesitant about coming to the scrimmage game today, mainly because I didn’t really feel like socializing, but I’m so happy she talked me into coming. I’ve been spending my “days for grieving” up in my room trying to think about all the good times my mother and I had. Sadly, I don’t have many happy memories from when she was alive and that just made me even sadder. All I’ve been doing is staying in bed and crying. I’m thankful that I have a few friends that have been trying to help me get through this. Without them I would probably be losing my mind right now. Russell has really been comforting me the most. Everyday after he gets out of practice he comes by to see me. Sometimes we talk about whatever I want to talk about and sometimes he just holds me. I figured the least I could do is come support and cheer him on tonight.

“Are you having fun?” Nina asks and I nod my head.

“Yea. Thank you for getting me out of the house. I really needed this.” I say as my eyes land on Russell as he jogs across the field.

“Are you understanding the game better?” She asks and I nod my head as I watch Russell take off his helmet. He scans the stands before his eyes land on me. He smiles big and gives me a small wave before joining the rest of the team on the sidelines.

“He really likes you.” Nina says and I sigh as I nod my head slightly.

“Yea, he does.” I say softly as the wind picks up making me adjust my jean jacket.

“And you really like him too don’t you?” She asks and I give her my full attention before nodding my head. This is my first time even admitting this to myself.

“Awww, my bestie is about to have her first boyfriend.” Nina gushes as she hugs me tightly, making me laugh.

“You seriously do the most.” I say as I wiggle out of her hug.

“I’m just really happy for you. You just light up whenever he’s around and he does the same. It’s so cute.” She says and I give her a small smile before looking back onto the field, instantly spotting Russell.

“I can’t describe the feeling I get when I’m around him. It’s like nothing else matters and I’m instantly at peace. Is that weird?” I ask her and she shakes her head.

“No, it’s not weird at all. Sounds like you’re falling in love to me.” She says with a small smile on her face and her words replay in my head. Could I really be falling in love with Russell?

“Oh my God Ci, Look!” Nina says excitedly, breaking me out of my thoughts. I look to where she’s pointing and I can’t help but to chuckle as I watch Ashton being escorted out by 2 security guards.

“I can’t believe y’all are seriously making me leave! Wait until my parents hear about this!” Ashton yells and I laugh while shaking my head. She’s such a brat.

“Why are they making her leave?” I ask Nina as she records the scene Ashton is causing.

“Because she’s suspended and she’s not supposed to be at any school functions.” Nina says while laughing. Ashton looks over at us and if looks could kill, we’d both be dead.

“That girl really doesn’t like me.” I say as I shake my head slightly.

“Well if my crush liked you instead of me and you beat my ass in front of the entire school, I probably wouldn’t like you either.” Nina says and I side eye her, making her laugh.

“I didn’t make him like me.” I say as I shrug my shoulders slightly.

“That makes her even madder. She’s been trying so hard since freshman year to get him to like her and nothing ever worked. You did absolutely nothing but be yourself and he fell for you. She’s jealous as hell.” She says as the buzzer sounds, letting us know that the scrimmage is over. We leave the stands and we walk over to Nina’s car.

“What are you and Earl doing after this?” I ask as she sits on the hood of her car.

“We’re probably just going out to eat. I can’t do much since I’m currently grounded.” She says with a small pout on her face making me laugh. Nina’s mom caught Earl at the house after curfew and she was so pissed. Now we’re both on strict curfews.

“I still can’t believe you got caught.” I say and she sighs deeply.

“I’m just happy we weren’t doing anything when she caught him. She would have really gone off then.” Nina says while chuckling a little. 30 minutes later the team starts pouring out of the school. I instantly spot Russell as he’s laughing with Jermaine, Earl and Doug.

“Seriously Russ. You keep playing like you did tonight we are going to dominate this season.” Doug says and Russell nods his head.

“It’s not just me. You and Jermaine are catching everything I throw. Keep it up and we’ll be champions again this season!” Russell says excitedly as they make their way over to us. Earl quickly makes his way to Nina and hugs her tightly. I really admire their relationship. Their love is so pure. Russell looks at me and smiles softly before wrapping his arms around me tightly.

“Hey beautiful. I’m so happy you decided to come.” He says in my ear before letting me go and I can’t help but to blush at his compliment.

“Well Nina pretty much dragged me out of the house.” I say as I look at her. She rolls her eyes playfully making me laugh.

“I’m glad she did. We miss you around here.” Jermaine says as he gives me a friendly hug.

“I never thought I would ever miss being at school but I really do.” I say as he lets me go.

“How have you been?” Doug asks as he gives me a side hug.

“I’ve been taking everything one day at a time.” I reply and he gives me a small smile.

“What are y’all about to get into?” Earl asks and I shrug my shoulders.

“I actually have a date with this girl I met at the mall last week. Let me go before I’m late.” He says with a smirk on his face as he turns and walks to his car.

“Doug wait! Does she have a cute friend?” Jermaine calls out as he follows behind him.

“Did you drive?” Russell asks and I shake my head.

“Nope. I road with Nina.” I say softly as I adjust my jacket again.

“You feel like hanging out with me tonight?” Russell asks and I give him a small smile before nodding my head.

“Oh, I have to be home by 10:30 though. I have a curfew now.” I say as I glance over at Nina and Earl and she sucks her teeth making me laugh. We say goodbye to them before walking over to Russell’s car. He opens the door for me and makes sure I’m completely in the car before walking over to the drivers side. He puts his bags in the backseat before getting into the car.

“How did you get a curfew?” Russell asks and I laugh before telling him about how Nina and Earl pretty much got me in trouble as well.

“Well my curfew is 11:00 so I’ll definitely have you home in time.” He says as he pulls out of the parking lot.

“ I’ve never had a curfew before so it’s different having someone who actually cares about what time I come home.” I say softly and he nods his head.

“Are you hungry?” He asks and I shake my head.

“Not really.” I say making him glance over at me.

“Have you eaten today?” He ask and I nod my head. Since my mom’s death, I’ve barely had an appetite. When Nina told Russell about this, he has made it his mission to make sure that I’ve had at least 2 meals a day. He had even brought me food to the house.

“Yea. I ate before I came to the game.” I reply and he nods his head.

“Would you like Ice Cream?” He asks and I nod my head. A few minutes later we pull up to Cold Stone Creamery. He gets out of the car and opens the door for me. He grabs my hand and we walk into the shop. We both order our ice cream and he insists on paying, like always. Instead of eating inside, we decide to walk about outside since it’s such a nice evening.

“Why didn’t your parents come to the game?” I ask as I eat a spoonful of ice cream.

“They usually don’t come to the Scrimmage games. They’ll be at every home game though. Hopefully you’ll be there with them.” He says as he looks at me and I nod my head.

“That’s the plan. I really enjoyed myself. I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on all of that.” I say and he nods his head.

“I can’t believe it either but I’m really happy you decided to come tonight. I loved seeing you in the stands cheering for me.” He says with a smirk on his face.

“Technically I wasn’t cheering for you, I was cheering for number 32 out there. He was really cute.” I say jokingly making his smirk drop and I laugh.

“Seriously?” He says while laughing and I shake my head.

“I’m just playing. You know that I was cheering for you.” I say and he nods his head.

“Yea well for the first game of the season I’m going to need for you to wear my number or my letterman jacket or something. We have to let these dudes know who you’re with.” He says as he drapes his are across my shoulders.

“So I’m with you now?” I ask with my eyebrow raised and shrugs his shoulders slightly.

“Only if you want to be. You know how I feel about you and I honestly can’t wait until I’m able to call you mine but I know that with everything that has been going on, you haven’t really thought about us and that’s fine. I’ll wait for as long as it takes. Just know that once you decide to be mine, I’m never letting you go.” He says as he kisses my forehead gently making me smile.

“You’re amazing.” I say softly as I look up at him.

“ I really want to thank you for being there for me during all of this. You’ve been so supportive and I honestly don’t think I would be able to get through this without you. Whenever I called, you answered. When I needed a shoulder to cry on you were there. I just can’t thank you enough.” I say sincerely and he shakes his head.

“You don’t have to thank me. I can’t even imagine how you’re feeling right now but I know that this isn’t something that you should have to go through alone. Seeing you so broken and hurt was so hard for me because all I wanted to do was make you feel better and put that beautiful smile back on your face. I really care about you Ciara and I will always be there for you. Remember that.” He says as he stares into my eyes and I believe every word that he’s saying. I didn’t realize that I was crying until he takes his arms form around my shoulders and wipes away my tears. Before I can stop myself I lean in and peck his lips softly. Russell grips the back of my neck gently as he deepens the kiss. I sigh against his lips and he uses that moment to slide his tongue into my mouth. I moan softly as his tongue explores my mouth and I can taste the ice cream that he was eating. He takes his hand off the back of my neck and moves it down my body. He grips my waist and pulls me so close that our bodies are touching as we continue to kiss passionately. Needing to catch my breath, I peck his lips before pulling away. He rests his forehead against mine as we both just take in this moment. For the first time since my mother’s death I’m not sad, or worried or experiencing any kind of anxiety. I’m completely at peace and I know that it’s because of him.
