i love eddie diaz so much man he is so good. he is such a good person he is so sweet and gentle and nurturing and he wasn't raised to be, you know? he was raised to be all hard edges and to be masculine and to be unwaveringly strong but he sand papered himself down into someone compassionate and kind. who learns and grows. who is so soft with the people he loves. who goes mwah whenever he kisses people. he's silly he's a goofball he's so horribly traumatized. he's an decorated army vet and firefighter but to him he's a dad before he's anything else. he wants to be the kind of father he didn't have. and he's the best dad. he's forgiving. he's genuine. he's a bitch. he gets angry and he hurts people and he hurts himself more than anything but he apologizes and rights his wrongs and cares. he cares so deeply. he watches trashy telenovelas and doesn't trust technology and kills every single plant he touches. he's a good cook. he didn't use to be. assigned passenger princess by childhood trauma. his love language on the surface is acts or service but his real love language is teasing people and making them roll their eyes with a smile. his heart is so big. he is so hard on himself. guilt-ridden. gorgeous. gay. he's half grief half anger and somehow still all love. he's a horrible boyfriend to his girlfriends and he's in love with his best friend. what a freaking guy!!!!!!!
You look tired. Even on your tiny face I can see it. An expression of somber exhaustion. Come, sit on my hand. I promise it’s warmer. I promise I won’t hurt you.
…
See? Comfortable, right? Now don’t worry, I’m just going to move my hand a little to get comfortable. I’ll do it slowly.
…
Good. You’re very brave, little one. Rest now. I’ll take care of you until you’re ready. Don’t worry. You’re safe.
CW: slightly depressing/unequal world? (I'll add more if asked)
Any giant, for whatever reason, can enter human cities. Be it a business negotiation or visiting family and friends, the city will welcome them all, for a price. With giant societies being the proprietors of nearly all the wealth in the frontier, humans are treated as faux second-class citizens. Not generating enough influence to really matter when a problem is presented, especially one where the sole cause is the giants themselves. For but a small cost, any of them can enter a human city, with free reign over everything we've built. Stomping their way through with little regard for the 'equal' citizens below, humans are forced to make way for them as the giant ooh's and aah's degradingly at the city miniaturized for their liking.
Every Human grows up with the constant, oppressive weight of being considered lesser, No, physically BEING lesser. Smaller, tiny, insignificant, a pest, a human. But to be presented with a person so fabulously wealthy, so physically above you and your peers, and all they do when they see your city is laugh...
The clock keepers' uniform involves capes to protect them from the cold of Kako and Mirai's city of snow. Keeping up the pattern of every school mystery clothes reflecting their past living situation.
Akane loses energy in the heart of his own boundary but has resistance to it.
HC from all the reactions to Vincent's new outfits in EC that in-universe he will do something innocuous like take off a glove and everyone reacts to it like he's doing something provocative
bonus points if he like removes it with his teeth or a finger at a time
naturally, the girls are taking bets whether or not he's noticed how other people react to him and is deliberately playing it up
or if he's completely oblivious and just does things That Way, assuming people stare at him because he's a monster or something and not because they want to climb him like a tree
Anon I love your headcannon so much I had to draw it
Yuffie: He totally knows what he’s doing!
Aeris: Are you sure though? I think he’s oblivious. He didn’t bat an eye at all those people trying to flirt with him in Costa del Sol
The true opposite of depression is neither gaiety nor absence of pain, but vitality—the freedom to experience spontaneous feelings. It is part of the kaleidoscope of life that these feelings are not only happy, beautiful, or good but can reflect the entire range of human experience, including envy, jealousy, rage, disgust, greed, despair, and grief. But this freedom cannot be achieved if its childhood roots are cut off. Our access to the true self is possible only when we no longer have to be afraid of the intense emotional world of early childhood. Once we have experienced and become familiar with this world, it is no longer strange and threatening.
