Sometimes being the resident pred just means you have to put up with your buddies using you as a tent every winter
Davey likes to complain about it, but truth be told he doesn’t mind all that much. At least it means he’s full right?

DUMB EXCUSES [NIKO HEADCANNONS]
Summary: All of Niko's dumb excuses to be near you or do things with you
Warnings: none
A/N: Starting of short for Niko, then full fics I promise! Gotta write for my boy Niko, can't believe I've neglected him 😔😔
*** ***
Tumblr media
*** ***
DUMB EXCUSES FOR HOLDING YOUR HAND
Honestly you don't know when he decided to start holding your hand all the time, you haven't even started dating when you did.
"Your hand looks heavy let me hold it for you." was a classic excuse he would use with you. It was cheesy, yes, but it got you to hold hands with him regardless. Making him smile like a cutie.
When walking on the side walks he would hold your hand, just to "make sure no one tries to kidnap you on the side of the road"
He would also walk on the outer edge of the sidewalks as well while doing so.
When you did finally start dating, holding hands was one of his key agreements in the relationship.
Sitting beside each other? Holding hands. In the car driving? Holding hands. Well, one hand on the wheel the other with you ;)
STAYING CLOSE TO YOU IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE
When you're at a party with the beta squad or filming a video, especially mafia. Niko always seems to be by your side.
Magically, always teleports to your side, and when you laugh, you automatically clutch someone's arm next to you. And Niko wanted to be that person, so you best believe he's sitting next to you or standing beside you.
And if you're at a party, he would definitely stay by your side. If any guys try to hit you up, he's scaring them away with 1. His height and 2. The fact that he can look intimidating when he wants to.
And it will kill the other guys ego off instantly and make him avoid you for the rest of the night.
Speaking of parties, if you didn't like them much and wanted to step outside for a bit of air. He would come with you, and he would make sure you had a good time, whether that would be going to eat somewhere or just staying under the moonlight in each others arms.
He would want you to be comfortable at all times.
BRUSHING HANDS UNDER THE TABLE
This is when you were dating because if you weren't, best believe Niko ain't getting much courage to do this.
He's a brave guy, but when it comes to you, you honestly take that courage away when you weren't dating, of course. But now that you are, he's gonna be impressing you left and right and "trying to be the bigger man." (Last part was in chunkz words)
Sometimes, if you both were at a gathering, when he was bored, he would take your hand and just draw on it with his finger to pass the time.
Or just squeeze your hand, signalling to you that he wanted to leave, but wanted to be discreet about it. So you would make up something awfully more important than this, to excuse both you and Niko and off you go, you've escaped the boredom!
I'll leave it to you to can guess where you end up ;)
DUMB EXCUSES FOR STEALING GLANCES
When you first met, he would've looked at you a lot. Most likely stunned by your beauty, and you would often catch him looking at you and then looking away faster when you caught him, almost always earning a small giggle from yourself.
If you're right next to him and caught him looking at you, he would come up with an excuse since he knew he wouldn't get away with saying nothing.
His excuses would either consist of violations:
"Oh, sorry, I just thought I saw a rat infestation right in front of me."
"Can I have the name of your hair salon? I need to know where not to go."
"You do a great job combing your hair. It’s impressive how you’re able to hide the receding hairline." "Yeah, I learnt it from you."
Or would consist of him stupidly denying it:
"Yeah, you're imagining things because I was just scratching my eye, and you happened to be in front of my view."
"I was looking behind you. Not at you." "Niko, you're behind me..."

LU HEADCANNONS FOR EACH OF THE BOIS
ALPHABETICAL ORDER
Four
Looks at his feet ALL THE TIME while walking, he doesn’t wanna step on a minish. Speaking of which, aside from Legend, is the only one fluent in more than one language because he knows the picori language
His hair looks brushed? Nah, it’s not. He tried brushing it and it always gets tangled, but the knots are just so fine it doesn’t even look like it’s tangled, so he only brushes the top layer of his hair.
Hyrule
Keeps the peace. One of the only reasons that the chain isn’t at each others throats. Part of the reason is that he doesn’t know what half of these debates is about, but is very good at making each side seem like he agrees with them, even though he’s confused.
Memorizes facts about everybody’s Hyrule to be prepared. Is VERY keen on being prepared. Even though he may come off as chaotic, he always has a plan for whatever will go wrong. Very much belives in murphey’s law.
Legend
ANGSTY GUY. Seems talkative but NEVER talks about what he truly thinks just talks because he feels the need to show people that he exists and is strong.
Claims that he hates children. Yet he will hug any baby he sees. Absolutely adores children if we are being honest. He even got Sky to teach him embroidery so he can embroid little blankets for babies 🥹
Sky
Hopeless romantic. He will wax poetry about Sun for 25 hours seven days a week if you let him. He shares literally everything he’s interested in with her.
He sometimes (this is so OOC but idc) sends post cards of him and Fi to LD-301S Scrapper to make him jealous. He absolutely hates that tiny robot.
Time
Cryptic. Will spill traumatizing memories of his past but will make them so cryptic that nobody will understand WHAT he’s saying.
(I think we can all agree) a father at heart. He knows eventually he will have to bid his goodbyes to the other 8 members of the chain but REALLLLY doesn’t wanna.
Twilight
Will eat table scraps
Is either REALLY good at getting women or REALLY bad, depends on where and when. Even though he is he regrets everyone because he’s still sad about Midna.
Family therapist. He knows everybodies problems and never shares them to anybody else, he’s always there for everyone.
Warriors
Even if he flirts with women, he never wants to date anyone. He’s still kinda… traumatized about Cia. He is more of a “take you out on a nice date but remains just friends” guy. He knows it may come off as toxic but he has best intentions.
He actually got his scarf enchanted by a great fairy. It as a defense boost and attack up. There is a reason he wears it, gotta be fashionable and practical.
Wild
LOADED, like 999,999 rupees. Because of this, for each era he goes to, he buys a yard of fabric for his home era. He will find use for it… some day.
As much as he and Flora are… alright together. He is still salty about her. He knows that she was struggling with finding her own destiny, but he still doesn’t like how he was treated.
Wind
Do NOT challenge him to any card game. At all. He will win he will take all your rupees and there is nothing you can do to stop him. And by the rare case that you DO beat him, he will pull the “young innocent baby boy” card which makes you want him to win and end up revoking your winner status.
A mischievous boy. Will poke people with his wind waker and finds it hilarious ever. Single. Time. The amount of times Wars literally had to hide it from him as he kept using the “control” power (idk what to call it) is uncountable. People would think that he taught Aryll all of this, but nope. Aryll was the one that taught him all those tricks. It runs in the family.
Ooohhhh these headcannons are so fun!!!
Fours little fairy knots in his hair is oddly adorable
Hyrule being the peacemaker instead of sky is really refreshing and I feel like more on oar for his character tbh!
Legend embroidering baby blankets has my heart MELLTIIINGGG😭❤️
Sky being a gremlin to Scrapper is also VERY true to his character. Sky is the best little piece of crap 🤣🤣
Time being SO cryptic hahaha and why shouldn't he be? It's so much more fun that way LOL.
Me feeding Twi all my scraps
Poor wars, Cia really is disgusting😠
Wild being rich🤣YES HAHA and they would be so shocked too lolol
Wind will BANKRUPT wild in a game of cards haha that would be a night to remember lol

I loveee your writing!!! I want reader to be with Eros right now!!! Would you right more soft content about them???
Of course! I’m happy people like my writing! I’ll write whatever you guys request! It’s really fun to hear your guys’ ideas .
Description: Eros the yandere Cupid, soft content, lots of feelings, I’m glad you guys love him so much! He’s prolly one of my favs too!
Tumblr media
You were comfortable in the sheets of your own bed, of course with your beloved Cupid hugging you tightly as if you were a stuffed animal. You could feel his face so close to yours. You’ve gotten accustomed to waking up and seeing how close the both of you were.
You found your phone under one of your pillows and moved as much as Eros would let you before grumbling and pulling you back closer. You checked the time and saw it was 9:41 am. Pretty early to wake up when you had nothing to do today.
You thought it would be fun to go out to a park, maybe some grocery shopping before so you could make sandwiches and stuff. You decided that was the plan for the day! You’d just have to wake up Eros which was probably the most challenging thing to do when he was especially comfortable.
You shook Eros and he whined not wanting to wake up. He mumbled incoherent words and covered his face with the blankets.
“Mmph, what do you want” He mumbled, now being able to speak coherently.
“Cmon, we gotta get ready” You were persistent on getting this lazy Cupid out of bed, despite the fact you were still in bed too.
“For what? You don’t have work or anything..” He yawned, somewhat curious on why you intended to leave the comfort of your own bed. He was also interested in what you wanted him for.
“I wanna go grocery shopping and maybe a picnic! Do you wanna come or no? If not I’ll just go by myself” You knew that Eros would never even think about leaving you alone outside of the house. It was always really funny to see his dumbfounded face that you even suggested to go alone.
“I’m up! Just.. let me fully wake up” He drowsily untangled himself from the sheets and held your hand so you could lead him to the bathroom while he rubbed his eye.
“So I’m thinking we get some food from the grocery store nearby, and then we go to that one park that’s like two streets down. What do you think?” You were alert and ready for anything despite it being the morning, which was never the greatest time for the either of you. You were excited for the day though! So your need to go out kept you up.
“M’kay, do you think we could get some snacks though? I think we’re running out” He got his toothbrush out of the ceramic holder that kept the both of yours. You honestly felt like you had a roommate rather than Eros being your personal cupid.
You didn’t mind though, you liked living with him. It was fun and probably wasn’t the best thing for the buried feelings that resided in your heart about him though.
“Of course we can, you just gotta stop raiding the pantry when you’re bored. You’re supposed to eat when you’re hungry.” You sighed.
“It’s the same thing!”
After you and Eros were done getting ready you made sure you had everything you needed. You’d get the things from the store, come back to the house, prepare the food, and then have the picnic! Maybe after the picnic then the two of you could watch a new movie.
“Keys, phone, money, do you have everything?!”You called out to Eros who was rushing around doing something. Luckily, he had remembered to hide his wings away so they weren’t there anymore nor was his halo. You could only imagine all the dumbfounded stares if he walked into the store with giant wings.
“Yeah! I’m just looking for uhm…” He forgot what the word was but he knew it was a type of clothing! He just couldn’t find it nor remember the word.
“I have your jacket! Let’s go!” You rushed Eros out and he quickly went into the car, waiting for you. In record time you followed close behind him and made sure to lock the door.
The grocery list wasn’t awfully long, just things needed for a good picnic. You didn’t have bread so you needed that, and also some fruits! While you were contemplating what was more important, Eros was watching you patiently.
He was wondering why you were so eager today to go out but he didn’t mind! He loved hanging out with you, but cuddling in bed on a cold morning was something that not even good food could beat.
He thought your focused face was adorable, the way your eyebrows furrowed and your eyes scanned everything. He was secretly hoping you’d notice him staring and smile at him. It was always refreshing to see your face lighten up.
“Do you think we need grapes? They’re a good snack with other foods. They have green and purple ones.” You softly elbowed Eros so he’d pay attention to the grapes in front. He looked away from you for the first time in a bit and looked at the fruits.
“They look interesting, let’s get them!” He had no idea what grapes tasted like but they looked like little candies so that was a good sign!
“Okay! We just need the bread, I already have mayo and ham at the house” You also grabbed some packaged watermelon that was already sliced.
“What about drinks?” Eros held your hand following you to the bread aisle. You pushed the cart with one hand and had good control on it so you didn’t mind using only one.
“Yeah, we should get some juice or soda” You couldn’t believe you almost forgot drinks, it might be a little hotter than usual.
You found the aisle right after getting the bread, the store was familiar but it’s inevitable to forget something about the store. Eros was staring down another person down the aisle who was suspiciously observing you and him.
You were too focused on which pack of juices you should bring, 2, 6, 8, 12? It was a lot of options for an indecisive individual like you.
Eros flipped off the guy down the aisle and it finally made him fuck off and look away. He honestly didn’t really know what it truly meant, he just knew people used it at each other when they were angry or annoyed. He saw it on the TV a couple of times but never asked you what the entire meaning was.
“Alright, let’s just do this box of 6. Might be a lot for two but it’s gonna get hot out so it’s better to be safer than sorry” You made sure to check back at your list again.
You added a few more snacks to the cart but that was all you needed so you started to head towards the self-check out section. You thought for a moment that Eros was lost but he was just staring at some shirts that looked weird to him.
“I’ll scan, just bag the things I give you” You told him to make sure he wasn’t going to do something dumb.
“Got it!” He was rather quick with bagging. He liked to be helpful to you if it was going to make you happy. He liked doing a lot of things for you, he would do anything for you, he was just scared his love would be a little overwhelming for you.
The recent trip to the store was concluded and the two of you quickly assembled the sandwiches and snacks into good serving sizes. You organized all of it into a bag and back on the road to the nearby park.
The weather was nice, there was good shade under the trees and Eros managed to find a perfect spot! You set up most of the things up like the blanket while Eros unpacked the food. He saw there was other couples doing picnics as well somewhat far away.
“Do you think it would be weird for a Cupid to date their human?” He wasn’t even sure why he was asking. He honestly prayed to any god that you hadn’t heard his question.
“I don’t think so, If it’s a true love between a Cupid and human then why stop their love? Cupids are all about love so why would they shame love between two people just because they’re different” You looked out into the bright sky, the wind felt nice on your face. Was he asking for someone else? Or did he.. like you?
“Yeah.. I don’t think love can be stopped at all if it’s genuine and strong.” He fiddled with his fingers, worrying wether he should speak up or not. What would he do if you rejected him? Kick him out? Ignore him for the rest of your life? He was so scared of what could happen if it went wrong.
“I love you.. a lot” He sighed after his short but impactful words. If you reject him then he’ll have to deal with it somehow, either keeping you to himself no matter what, or respecting your decision and guiding your love life as a normal Cupid as best as he can.
You couldn’t process his words at first. He was confessing to you? He wanted to be with you! The guy you’ve been fawning over ever since you saw him!
“I understand if you don’t love me back it’s oka—“
You cupped Eros’s face kissing him directly on his lips. He made a surprised hum but kissed you back. He closed his eyes, greedily enjoying the kiss as long as you let him.
You panted letting go of this kiss and even you were surprised yourself. You had never been reckless like that before but he always had you feeling unsure and confused. So it was time you were confident!
“I love you too!” You felt intense warmth on your cheeks, stronger than ever before and you could see intense red on his face as well.
Both of you stared at each other for awhile in surprise before he knocked you down with a hug. You felt the air in your lungs knocked out but you didn’t care. All you did was laugh against his weight as he rambled about his nervousness about confessing.
“I didn’t even know whether you saw me like that!” He helped you sit up, and stared at you lovingly.
“I’m so happy I think my wings might appear!” He knew when his emotions were a little too strong like happiness then his wings would pop up if they were hidden before.
“How about we cut the picnic short, go home, watch a movie and cuddle? You can let your wings flutter in happiness when we’re home” You laughed at his excited face after hearing your words.
“Yeah!! Let’s go” He helped you hastily pack up everything, not caring about the picnic anymore. Cuddling with you in bed was much better!
And that’s what happened, you were in bed with Eros. He was more than just your cupid now! He clung onto you more than usual and peppered kisses all over you since you now allowed him.
You fell asleep in his arms first, despite the movie playing, you found his warmth to be more interesting than watching it. He grabbed the remote and turned off the movie, snuggling as close as he could and softly wrapping his wings around you.

Ad-Live 2022 [Night Session] - Chiba
Premise:  Producer named Jin (Shimazaki) is tasked with ensuring the success of live advertisements, but doesn't have the data to do so.  Blade (Enoki) is a man with a cursed “disease”, whereby his genitals have morphed into a sword. He’s looking for way to cure himself, to get back to his wife ‘Saya’.   Aramaton (Aramaki) is a man dressed in a sheep plush hoodie, who keeps asking if people “remember him”. His intentions are unclear.  Suzumura is the higher-up who checks on them.  Jin must enlist in the help of these two to achieve at least 30% viewership in the advertisement broadcasts, in order to keep the studio in money for making Jin’s favourite anime show about “Magical Galaxy Girl Desuko”, and to prevent the "higher-ups" from killing them.
Official preview video [here]   / Day Session [here]
Some Funny parts & Ending below cut! 
[ KEYS:  E = Enoki Junya / N = Shimazaki Nobunaga / M = Aramaki Yoshihiko (or Mackey) / S = Suzumura Kenichi ]
---- ---- ---- 
M: your name is Omata Blade? (stares intently) 
N: Oi why are you making fun of people's names? 
E: What about you, dressed like that?
M: I was doing nothing outside the studio when I was brought in as an extra. 
E: That's not a costume anyone loiters in... ---- ---- ---- 
(every time E sheathes/unsheathes his “sword”)
N: That's such a good sound! 
---- ---- ----

(hug and accidentally poke each other with “swords”) 
---- ---- ---- 
S: (tries to style them)
E: Oh lemme try this on. (puts coat over sword) 
(everyone piles on coats excessively to hide E's sword) 
E: No stop! My identity is being erased! 
---- ---- ---- 
(advertising products, E and M have sword fight with their respective *ahem* props)
E: These amazing products can even make music! 
S: (frantic whispering from sidelines, RIP head producer) STOP STOP STOP!
---- ---- ---- 
N: We have to attain 30% viewership to save Desuko's show! 
M, E: Who's Desuko? 
S: (rushes to them) No no no no no! 
N: (simp mode activated) DESUKO IS THE BEST MAGICAL SPACE GALAXY GIRL IN THE UNIVERSE, HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW?! 
---- ---- ---- 
Just E jabbing at everything with his sword -- including N's face on a poster 
---- ---- ---- 
(Advertisement viewership = 5%)
M: Well, this is kinda mine and E's fault...
E: Yes, we're very sorry for the trouble we've caused.
M: In fact, N did an excellent job portraying the magical girl character!
S: (bursts in) WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING? 5% ONLY?!!! 
M,E: (points to blame N immediately) It's this guy's fault!
---- ---- ---- 
M: (threatening) I’m looking for the person who ate my dear friend Aramaton. 
E: Aren't you "Aramaton"? 
M: No, that's the name of my pet sheep.
E:??????
---- ---- ---- 
N: (enthusing about job) What exactly is  “entertainment”?

M: OI. YOU BASTARD. 
---- ---- ---- 
M: (takes out gun for revenge and starts shooting at feet) 
S: (jumping so much for his age) WHY ARE THERE UNLIMITED BULLETS? 
---- ---- ---- 
M: Revenge on N for eating Aramaton is mine! 
E: No, revenge on N for causing this disease is mine! 
M: You think you can dodge my *tama (= bullets) ? 
E: (dramatically unsheathes) I may not have any *tama (= balls) left, but I'll definitely slice yours! 
(Fight like children as the audience laughs wildly)
S: Okay this is actually impressive… Quick! (smacks N) We’ve gotta film this! (starts recording on phone) 
---- ---- ---- 
(audience laughing very loudly, echoing sounds)
M: Goodness, what was that? 
N: It's probably the voice of the universe!
---- ---- ---- 
N: What happened to Aramaton? 
M: (ad-lib cue) Aramaton didn’t pay his rent! Now all my money is gone! N: You’re not avenging Aramaton for love, but for money?! 
---- ---- ---- 
E: I’m going to the toilet. 
M: Eh? How’d you go with (points) that?
E: (accidentally bangs sword against door, monotonous) Ah. N: Isn’t that supposed to be painful???
---- ---- ---- 
N: (during after talk, praises staff for drawing a wonderful poster for the imaginary “Desuko” anime he mentioned) 
M: (praises staff for preparing the props, esp the list of people he killed for revenge and the pot) 
S: The staff are amazing at their preparation, thank you everyone. But what’s most shocking is that (E’s sword)! He even brought it from home! 
---- ---- ---- 
Ending: (The last 10 minutes were honestly so chaotic; they nearly missed the threads of their stories, but made it back in time.) The "higher-ups" are an actual superior alien race, monitoring the humans via TV broadcasting. If the broadcast fails, it proves humanity isn't worth it, and everyone will be killed. Jin is actually an alien who loves anime, and doesn't want to see humanity be destroyed. That's why he's so intent on making TV studios a success. Aramaton is actually the name of Mackey's character's pet sheep. To avenge the death of Aramaton, Mackey kills a list of people who presumable ate Aramaton at a restaurant. But, Jin confesses he recognised Aramaton because the sheep wasn't eaten–it was Jin who abducted Aramaton for an alien experiment. Aramaton is still alive. Blade is not blade. "Saya" is not his wife. Blade IS Saya. Mackey unknowingly killed Saya before this event, and Saya was so revengeful that her soul was absorbed into a male alien vessel. The sword as a disease was also fake. Her main aim is to kill Mackey. Jin is forced to finish the final broadcast, in which he pleads for everyone to forget their grievances and forgive each other, so everyone can move forward. All the characters are moved. Final push comes from a phone call for Blade/Saya: Let all aliens and humans live in peace together.

Congrats on the followers milestone!! Here's an idea:
16h30
Reading Room
Lardo
for you, a little expansion of Shitty's Dibs. Thank you and enjoy!
catch up on the rest of Ficlet Fest 3 here
🏒🏒🏒🏒
reading room, 4:30pm
Lardo flings open the door and makes a beeline for Shitty’s bed so she can crawl out onto the Reading Room. She doesn’t even make it all the way onto the roof before she’s continuing her rant from their text chain.
“And like, I’m sort of shocked they waited till now to ask me, like, it’s almost finals? Did they think I just didn’t have my shit figured out already?” she asks, dumping her bag to one side and settling into her customary spot.
“Well—”
“Leaving aside the fact that I don’t have a living situation figured out yet, it just feels like a desperate move. Doesn’t bode well, you feel me?”
“For sure. Bear?” he asks, holding out the biggest bag of gummy bears she’s seen in a while toward her.
She raises a single eyebrow. “Did you accidentally buy a bag with the pink ones again?”
“...Maybe.”
“Bear me.” He passes over the bag and they take a moment to just watch the street, soaking up the breeze rustling through the leaves and the sounds of Beyoncé from the kitchen below them. The first taste of grapefruit makes her wrinkle her nose – she’s not the biggest fan of the flavor – but she’s not about to let Shitty absently snack on something that he’s mildly allergic to, so she keeps eating.
“So did you give them an answer already?” Shitty asks eventually, a weird expression on his face. Lardo squints at him, but lets it go in favor of answering.
“I told them I had to think about it,” she says, picking out the last few pink bears. “It’d be like, fine, but – ‘kay, I ate all the gross pink ones for you—”
“Brah,” he says, fake tearing up in gratitude. She punches him in the side of the arm and Shitty falls to the side with a dramatic groan. Lardo just rolls her eyes and continues her thought.
“—But, it's on the other side of campus. Plus, Claire's gonna sexile Lara weekly, and I don't wanna Judge Judy all senior year.” She leans back on her hands, more glad than ever she doesn’t have to use her brain any more today. “Man. Why the printmaking kids gotta be so damn horn a bajillion percent of the time?”
There’s a beat of silence where Shitty would normally make fun of her (admittedly strange) art friends, and then—
“So, Lards, ‘bout housing…I’m thinking you should have my dibs.” Lardo freezes at the words. Surely she didn’t hear correctly. He can’t have offered her his room in The Haus. He can’t have.
“I mean it makes a whole lotta sense, right? I mean, first, you practically fuckin’ love here anyway,” he says, ticking the items off on his fingers. “Second, it should be your right as manager. And third—” he meets her gaze squarely, more sincere and earnest about this than he ever was for hockey or any of his classes. This is important to him, maybe the most important. Suddenly, she’s fighting down a lump in her throat.
“You’re one of the best teammates I’ve ever had. So like. You know what to do to seal the deal…if you want ‘em, that is.” 
Apparently he can have been offering his room – offering her a chance to live with some of her favorite people in the whole damn world – as though it was a given, a right, a done deal. He holds out his hand for the customary Dibs Shake, but to her horror, Lardo sniffs, and there’s a tear dripping down her cheek that she has to hide in her elbow.
“Shitty…”
The wobble in her voice sets him off, and now they’re both halfway to ugly crying on the roof of the Haus like dumbasses. “Oh no-no-no, dude,” he says, furiously blinking to ward off tears. “If you waterworks, I’ll w-waterworks…”
She launches herself at him with a strangled AGGGHH!! – throwing her arms around him and squeezing as tightly as she can, hoping that her message gets across without actual words.
Shitty squeezes her back, and his words sound a little relieved (did he think she’d say no???) and a lot wet when he manages to speak. “Hugs count too.”
Fuck right they do.
When they finally break apart, Shitty’s beaming at her and she can feel her own smile widening in response.
“I guess I better tell Claire and Lara I’m already set for next year then,” she teases, striving for her normal dry tone.
“Brah, you’re gonna eat a million pies next year.”
“‘Swawesome.”

In honor of the DLC coming out tomorrow I’ve replayed Error 143 to enjoy the adorable dork that is Micah Yujin. So let me gush about him will ya.
Micah Yujin is the main character and only love interest of the indie dating sim called Error 143 made by Jenny Vi Pham and her crew. The main premise is that you, the player, lost in a coding/hacking competition to your rival (Micah) and you as the sane level headed person as you are decided to troll him by hacking his computer and leaving a note “Ha, whose the better hacker now”. In response Micah hacks you back and puts you in his not discord server that he made and from then on comedy ensues.
The gameplay is pretty straightforward, it’s like every other dating sim. There’s the occasional hacking minigame that is just hangman which is neat, but the whole design of the whole game is so cool. I love pixel art and not discord looks fantastic with it. I also find it elegant that the parts without voice acting look like chat conversations, and the conversations with voice acting to be video calls is fucking great!
Also his voice actor goes hard!!! Corey Wilder is a talented va and I wish nothing but the best for them!^^
Micah himself is a funny playful cheeky guy with a shit eating grin on his face. His banter with the player is honestly hilarious and wholesome at times. He doesn’t hide the fact that he thinks you’re hot and he starts being flirty around day one or two. Him and the player have some good chemistry and they really match each other’s vibe. (Oh yeah forgot to mention but the player character actually have a personality in this game. They’re not a fully fleshed out character but it’s more than what the player character gets in these games. The only other time I can think something similar happened was in The Arcana [also a great dating sim I do recommend that])
The story spans out 5 days (well, 4 actually cuz day 4 is pretty short). In those 5 days the player and Micah get to know each other pretty quickly and it’s pretty obvious you both really like each other. And Micah puts his money where his mouth is because on day 5 he makes your dream first date come true. I find that so wholesome and sweet like on my first playthrough my first thought ‘I wanna hug him’ and ‘AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!’ (And that’s just one of the sweetest things he does in game, there’s like two other one which I both adore a ton.)
But I couldn’t because the game ended! 🥲🥲🥲🥲 (Thankfully the dlc is coming and will probably give me that option and I honestly cannot wait!^^) It is a short game but it’s definitely one of the best ones out there!
I also remember when this game first came out it got really popular in just a few short days. And I also cannot forget how in just one night a bunch of twitter ghouls jumped on the creator and accused her of fetishizing black men, hiring a va who voiced in a pe** game and how her writing is actually very racist because….. she shared some old concept ideas for Micah’s parents that are not even canon. Back then I was pretty scared about those accusations because I myself am not white and thought “oh fuck what if actual black people found something actually problematic that I’ve missed”. In reality what actually happened was a bunch of racists didn’t like that there was a dating sim out there with the main love interest being a half Korean half African American. And they hurled shit on both Jenny and Corey. I even saw people whom I used to follow take those accusations seriously and write it of as “ah even when we get a dating sim with a black love interest there’s always a catch”. (I was honestly baffled by them cuz, ‘wha- you can’t be serious! There’s gotta be something more to this’.) Thankfully Jenny managed to resolve that drama in the end by explaining everything in a tweet longer? (idk the exact name of it but you know what that is) and addressing every main accusation while also addressing how the harassment has affected her. I’m honestly proud how she managed to still write on Twitter where most would’ve gone silent to take a break from that bullshit. But she and Corey shouldn’t have been subjected to that kind of harassment in the first fucking place.
Still, I’m so happy that things are better now. I don’t have Twitter anymore (and I’ve been much happier since) so I don’t know if anything similar happened since then (hopefully not).
Amidst all that bullshit tho there were some people who gave genuine constructive criticism, one I can remember is about Micah’s inconsistent hair texture. Since there are a lot of artists in the team they all drew his hair a little differently every time. Jenny responded to that critique apologizing and doing some research before deciding what Micah’s hair type is gonna be. Ever since then his hair has been consistent in official arts. The assets in game hadn’t been switched out but by the sneak peeks she posted on Instagram, it looks like they’re gonna be finally.
(Ok I originally wanted to write down his hair type but I’m actually not sure what she said cuz I forgor but comparing his hair to pictures on google, seems to his hair is either 4B, 4C or a mix between those two. I’m sorry I don’t remember 🥲)
My apologies for the detour there. My final thoughts about the game though is that it’s amazing, fun and I adore Micah a lot! If you like dating sims, fun and wholesome cheesy romance then I can recommend it to you wholeheartedly!^^

You're On Your Own, Kid (Adam Sackler x You)
Summary: Having Adam Sackler as a neighbor and best friend has it's perk. Especially when you need a shoulder to cry on.
Words: 2,122
Warnings: No sexual warnings! Nothing but best friends being there for one another who have some hidden feelings for one another. Author's Note: This is my first ever Adam Sackler one-shot! The idea for this was heavily inspired by Taylor Swifts new song "You're On Your Own, Kid". After hearing the song ONCE I couldn't get this idea out of my head so were we go. Hope everyone enjoys!
Tumblr media
You knock on the door of his apartment with tears streaming down your face. You hadn’t bothered to call or text. Adam hates technology. If he was free to talk he’d answer his front door and invite you in and if he wasn’t you’d wander the streets floundering in your sadness. Adam Sackler has been your next store neighbor for a year now. He was the first person in the building to be nice to you. You could clearly remember your move in date. All those heavy boxes. No one had offered to help. No one except Adam.
His help had been invaluable and as a reward you had ordered pizza that you both ate on your living room floor and got to know one another. You were fast friends after that. In the grand scheme of things, a year isn’t a long time to truly know someone, but when it comes to your friendship with Adam it feels like a lifetime. You both rely on one another more than most neighbors. Each of you have developed a habit of just showing up at one another’s apartment when in crisis or facing things like boredom. It’s hard not to when you live down the hall from one another. The two of you turn to each other for just about anything. Adam needing to run lines for an audition? You were there. Your job stressing you out? He was there. Adam dealing with his unresolved feelings for Hanna? You were there. You getting into an argument with a friend? He was there. Adam spiraling about feeling like a failure and ultimately his sobriety? You were there. You crying over a breakup? He was there Adam wanting to go out and eat Chinese food at 2AM? You were definitely there. 
Truthfully, you’re thankful for his presence in your life.  Adam might be a big goofball and a horndog but deep down he has a kind heart that he tries to hide from most people. It’s a fact you relish in because it makes you feel closer to him than any other.
You were one another’s confidants and told each other things that you didn’t dare tell another living soul.
That’s why you find yourself at his door, because right now all you need is your friend.
A moment later the door opens to reveal the hulking form of your neighbor. He’s dressed down in a simple olive green t-shirt and jeans. All while holding a freakishly large sandwich.
“Holy fuck I was just thinking about you! I just made the most banging sandwich. You gotta take a bite.”
Your eyes flick up to meet his gaze and that’s when he sees your tear stained cheeks.
“Shit.” Adam curses under his breath, turning away for half a second to place his sandwich down somewhere before turning back and ushering you into his place with a hand on your upper back. “Everything is going to be alright, kid. You just go make yourself comfortable on the couch.”
You do as you're told, knowing the drill well enough by now. Any second now he was going to offer you food. To Adam, food cured any ailment. You’d smile at how adorable that is if you didn’t feel so exhausted from crying.
You sit down on the couch with a sigh and pray the thing just swallows you whole.
“Can I get you anything? Food, water, a pillow?”
You shake your head while more tears escape. Your eyes meet his deep brown ones and let your words tumble out.
“I-I just need my friend.”  His features soften. He looks as if he’d give you the world if you asked for it. Without another word he comes to sit down beside you on the couch. His arm comes around you, letting you lean against him while he strokes your arm. For a few minutes, neither one of you speaks. You simply soak up the comfort being offered to you. It’s only once some of your tension dissipates that Adam speaks again. “What happened, kid? Why are you crying?” “It’s stupid.” You huff at yourself in annoyance and feverishly swipe at your tears. Just because Adam had seen you cry before didn’t make being this vulnerable any easier. You feel the tip of his nose pressing into your scalp, as if he’s trying to stop himself from smelling your hair. “Tell me anyway?” His voice is a low whisper. You do your best to suppress the shiver it triggers. Adam might be your friend but that doesn’t make him any less attractive. Determined to not be railroaded by his strong body and pretty face you sit up slightly. It gives you enough personal space to think clearly. “It’s just a build up of things. You know? Disappointments.” He chuckles in agreement, “I can say I’ve absolutely had my share of those. What’s been disappointing you?” “More like who.” You angrily mutter. “Alright then. Who’s disappointing you?” You can hear the grin in his tone without even looking at him. He’s always found your anger adorable. As infuriating as that is, it isn’t what’s important now. You came here to vent. You came here to unload so for even a few minutes this burden wasn’t yours to carry. 
Your shoulders slump in defeat. You’re suddenly too exhausted to be your normally fiery self. “A lot of people….But I guess mostly myself.” “I’m not sure I understand?” You try your best to piece your thought process together into words. It isn’t an easy task but somehow you manage. “I’m disappointed in myself because I give people too much power over me. I love too hard….care too deeply. People keep taking advantage of that and I….let them.” You choke, the words getting caught in your throat. Adam shushes you and softly prompts you to take your time. You nod, giving yourself a moment to take a few deep breaths. When you feel capable you try again to continue. “I once read somewhere that what you give power to has power over you. I think that’s my problem. I let people into my life, I love them, encourage them, give them my time and they revel in it until they move onto better things. It’s draining! I’m tired of my self worth being determined by how other people treat me!” The volume of your voice picks up a notch. Your sadness turns into bitterness that tastes like lemon rinds on your tongue. “Rationally I know that when people treat you shitty it’s not a reflection on you but it’s so hard to not blame myself. My brain automatically tells me if I was a better friend, a prettier girlfriend, a more motivated worker none of this would happen!” You swipe your arm across your face, determined to not drip snot on top of crying. You didn’t need to be gross and pathetic. Adam takes this moment to interject with a question. “Are we talking about a specific person?” You shake your head. “No, just noticing a pattern of behavior. People keep waltzing in and out of my life like it’s no big deal. As if I had no meaning to them in the first place and I’m sick. of. it.” 
Each of your words is punctuated with anger. So much so that a quiet hush falls. The only sounds come from the busy Manhattan streets below. Somewhere in the distance a car horn is blown, a group of friends loudly laughs, a dog barks at a jogger.
These noises don’t phase either of you. The sounds of the city are so much a part of your everyday life that they have no chance in snatching your attention.
But Adam’s next choice of words can.
“You’re on your own, kid. You always have been.”
You roll your eyes so hard it’s a wonder that they don’t get trapped inside your skull. “Yeah thanks Adam. That’s exactly what I need to hear right now.”
Your sarcasm drips like maple syrup down the side of a pancake stack.
Adam lightly nudges your ribs with his elbow.
“I don’t mean it like that. I mean that you’re the only one that you can truly count on. Yeah you’ve got friends and family who care about you, but in the end it’s your strength that has to carry you through.”
Goddamn him and his random insightful advice.
“But what if I’m not strong enough? What if I can’t keep this up anymore?”
The emotions begin to take over and make your eyes glassy with fresh tears.
Something tugs at your chin and turns it towards Adam. You quickly realize it’s his hand gently cupping your chin so you’re looking him in the eye.
“Of course you’re strong enough. You’ve gotten through all your past bad days, haven’t you? You did that. Not anyone else.”
You gape at him, having no clue how to respond because he’s right. Even when loved ones give you support it’s you that chooses to take that support and keep pushing forward. You lean into his touch, wanting the warmth of it to sear into your flesh.  “I-it’s really hard.” Your voice cracks. It’s too difficult to keep it all in check right now. His brows pull together, the empathy evident on his face. “I know it is, kid. But if anyone believes in you, it sure as hell is me.” “Adam…..” You breathe out his name as tremendous emotion grips your heart. Your eyes flick from his lips to his eyes. When did the two of you move closer in? Now there were only inches separating your mouths. You forget why you came here and what you were upset about. It all dissipates because the man besides you makes it all seem meaningless. Why couldn’t more people in your life be like him? Especially the men. If any of the guys you dated cared even just a fraction of the way Adam did then your love life would look a lot different. Some part of you murmurs out a question. What would it be like to kiss him? “Maybe you should focus on the people and relationships that don’t make you doubt what you mean to them?” You nod your head and simultaneously straighten your spine. He’s being sensible and it snaps you back to reality. The one where you and Adam are only friends. Given half the chance you know you would want more but the thought of ruining the safety you had found just down the hall from you is terrifying. You couldn’t risk it. You couldn’t lose your best friend. “And it’s also important that you stand on your own two feet.”
Oh shit, was he still talking?
You give him your full attention, nodding along as he continues. He also resituates his position, sitting forward so his forearms rest atop his knees.
“You’ve got a good head on your shoulders and you clearly take care of yourself, your home, your responsibilities but I think you’re right about not letting these douchebags affect you so much.” He turns his head to look at you, wanting to make sure his words were sinking in.
“If they don’t value you then fuck ‘em. They don’t deserve a place in your life anyway. The right people are already here for you.”
You guessed he was right but…..
“So….what? I’m supposed to just not let anyone new into my life?”
He chuckles, causing the corners of his eyes to crinkle in amusement.
“No you goof. I’m telling you to live your life. Make new friends, go out and have fun, kiss lots of guys or girls, travel, do things out of your comfort zone. Take each moment and really enjoy it but don’t be afraid when disappointment comes or when people walk away.”
He leans back, finds your hand resting on your knee and places his hand over it. He laces your fingers together and reassuringly squeezes.
“You’ve got no reason to be afraid. No matter what you gain or lose, is still a step forward.”
You squeeze his hand in return and offer him a smile. And as much as some part of you still longs to know what being loved by him would feel like—you realize that here and now is you.
For healing.
For self improvement.
For happiness.
For selfishly taking care of you and you only.
Maybe one day time would be on your side. Maybe one day you’d both be ready for something more.
But for now, it was enough to be holding your best friend’s hand in his cluttered mancave of an apartment.
“Thank you, Adam.”
He grins, his uneven teeth poking through. “Anytime, kid.”

Househusband AU: Headcanon 3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
masterlist
a/n: I swear I have drafts written that are unrelated to househusbands AU, but I can’t get this AU out of my head 😭. Hopefully, I can get back to writing prompts soon, but here’s some more HCs (got carried away with writing, so it’s longer than I intended…oh well!)
Tumblr media
Who’s the most romantic?
💍 Bret, most definitely. He usually goes the extra mile to show Shawn how much he cares about him. He’s really good at planning date nights and remembering the little things, often gifting Shawn sentimental and thoughtful gifts relating to something Shawn may have mentioned to him prior
💍 Bret sometimes surprises Shawn with secret outings, nothing too extravagant. It’s typically something as simple as driving to the countryside, walking hand in hand along a trail as they talk about whatever’s on their mind, simply enjoying each other’s presence
💍 Shawn swears the number of times his heart melts has to be at least three times a day
💍 Shawn’s favorite moment has to be when Bret took care of him when he was ill one week
“Shawn, wake up. Babe, you’ve gotta eat”
“Come on, let’s get up and brush your teeth”
“Let’s put on some clothes so I can take you to the doctor, ok?”
💍 It was sweet more than romantic, but it warmed Shawn’s heart every time Bret doted on him
💍 Bret thinks Shawn’s pretty romantic as well, though Shawn would beg to differ. It’s not in the traditional sense of candle-lit dinners or chocolate and roses for Valentines Day. But it was in Shawn’s way – learning how to cook Bret’s favorite childhood meal, making a bracelet for Bret from scratch, and attempting to draw a portrait of Bret for Valentines Day (and failing miserably)
💍Bret appreciates anything Shawn does for him
 Who’s more emotional?
💍 Shawn, and he knows it. He has no shame about it. He’s pretty sure it stems from him being the baby of the family (and he may or may not have been spoiled by his mom as a child)
💍 Bret’s childhood was pretty rough compared to Shawn’s. Being raised in a house with 11 siblings oftentimes felt like a warzone. It also didn’t help that his dad had a bad temper and was really tough on the boys
💍 Bret had learned at a young age that it was best to keep his thoughts and emotions to himself, especially when a few of his siblings would make fun of him for crying. Or the time one of his siblings told his dad something Bret had told them in confidence, with the goal of getting him in trouble
💍 So he was kind of taught to hide his emotions
💍 Shawn’s seen Bret cry only a handful of times, but Bret’s gotten better at expressing his emotions to Shawn. Shawn always makes it a point to ask Bret how he feels about things, whether it’s a tough decision or something as simple as Bret’s thoughts on a movie they’d watched. He wants Bret to know his feelings, opinions, and emotions are valid and that he would always be there to listen
 What facial features do they like the most?
💍 Easily for Bret, it’s Shawn’s blue eyes. They were just too pretty not to gawk at
💍 For Shawn, it’s Bret’s eyes as well. People always talk about Shawn’s eyes, but Shawn often finds himself getting lost in Bret’s hazel eyes
💍 Shawn also loves Bret’s smile. He loves that he’s one of few people Bret genuinely smiles for, and it showcases those adorable dimples. Bret has to reiterate to Shawn that he in fact does not have dimples, just deep smile lines. But Shawn’s convinced that it’s dimples and nothing’s changing his mind
 What are their friendship dynamics?
💍 Shawn’s the closest with Hunter, of course. He considers him as his brother more than a friend. Hunter’s family accepted long ago that Shawn was part of their family. And the same goes for Shawn’s family to Hunter. Shawn has no idea where he’d be without Hunter in his life
💍 Aside from Hunter, Shawn’s closest friend is Kevin, much to Bret’s dismay. Neither man could explain it, but they just got along so well. There was never a dull or awkward moment between the two despite the fact that they had a brief fling when they first met
💍 Kevin does still find Shawn attractive, though. Who wouldn’t? And if Shawn were to come onto him one day, he’s not confident he’d exactly tell him to stop. Not that he wants that to happen though, contrary to Bret’s belief. Despite Bret’s tension with Shawn’s friends, everyone in the kliq hopes things work out between Shawn and Bret because they know Shawn would be devastated otherwise, and they’d be left to clean up the mess
💍 After getting to know Goldust, Shawn considers him a close friend of his. He loves whenever Goldust makes the trip to Calgary to keep him company. The two also hang out backstage whenever they’re on the road at the same time with their significant others. It feels nice to talk to someone else who could relate to being a husband, married to a wrestler, and living such a crazy lifestyle. Plus, Goldust always has great gossip to share
💍 Bret’s relationship with Shawn’s friend group is complicated. He doesn’t have a problem with Sean. He actually finds his company quite enjoyable. Hunter? He was forced to tolerate. And Kevin and Scott? He’d rather not be anywhere near them. He’s met a few of Shawn’s hometown friends, and they were more a lot more pleasant to be around
💍 Out of all of Bret’s friends, Shawn gets along with Steve Austin the most. They met backstage one night at a house show. Shawn was bored with no one to talk to – Hunter wasn’t on the program that night and Bret was busy most of the night. Shawn had been getting antsy, ready to go back to the hotel with Bret. He was pacing the hallway backstage when he bumped into Steve, desperately asking “hey, do you know where I can find a beer around here? Budweiser?” to which Steve responded with a grin “no, but I know where you can get a Steveweiser” and the rest was history. While waiting for Bret, Shawn hung out in Steve’s locker room. The two quickly clicked, both relating to being beer-loving southern Texans with attitude
💍 Bret found the pair odd at first, caught off guard one day when Shawn entered his locker room saying “Hey, I’m going to go hang out with Steve tonight. Wanna come?” Shawn usually did leave Bret at night to hang out with the kliq, but not Bret’s own friends. He didn’t join Shawn that night, but when one night turned to two nights, which turned to the Texans hanging out that whole week, Bret had to see what the hype was about
💍 He joined them one night, and it wasn’t much. The night consisted of the blond in Steve’s room, drinking beer, playing cards, talking about whatever, but Bret could barely keep up with the conversation. It seemed like Shawn’s southern drawl deepened around Steve, and their Texas lingo left Bret feeling like they were speaking a different language
💍 As odd as he found it, he was relieved that Shawn found someone to hang with that wasn’t the kliq. Although Bret was weary of the drinking, Steve was a whole lot better of company and more responsible than Shawn’s friends. He trusted that the man would look after Shawn
 How well do they get along with each other?
💍 Their relationship is pretty healthy. Bret considers Shawn as his best friend and Shawn the same (aside from Hunter, of course). There are no secrets between them. They tell each other everything, even if it hurts the other person. They both agreed early on in their relationship that its best to be honest and upfront with each other
💍 They don’t fight often. It’s more of light bickering or small disagreements between them, but it’s not usually anything that’ll cause alarm. There were a few times Shawn picked fights with Bret in the early stages of their marriage when Bret was away on the road, especially when Bret didn’t call him. Shawn was still getting adjusted to being a househusband and not having Bret around, so his decisions weren’t the wisest around that time. But he’s grown from that, especially as their trust in each other built over the years
💍 They have really great communication with each other. Unless Shawn’s really pissed, in which case Bret knows he must have really fucked up because Shawn gets really quiet when he’s upset. Bret would rather have the man yelling at him than ignoring him, not knowing what Shawn’s thinking
💍 Both have their flaws but they both equally put in the effort to make their marriage work
 How well do they get along with each other’s family?
💍 It took some time for Shawn’s family to come around to Bret. Shawn’s mom and sister loved him instantly. It was hard not to with how charming, polite, and sweet Bret was.
💍 Shawn’s brothers were a little skeptical at first (who’s this guy wooing our little brother?) but they were still welcoming. Shawn’s dad, on the other hand, was the wild card. He was very weary of Bret, wondering how someone who’s on the road all year could have a successful and faithful relationship with his son. To him, actions spoke louder than words, so he kept a watchful eye on the two. It took a few years and a few awkward family dinners, but Shawn’s dad did eventually accept Bret into the family
💍 Bret’s family was a bit more welcoming of Shawn. Shawn didn’t know what to expect when meeting the Harts, but Bret’s parents were so kind to him. Shawn’s very close to Bret’s parents. With his own parents being so far away in Texas, Helen and Stu were his home away from home. He calls Helen ‘mama Hart’ and Stu ‘papa Hart.’ It was originally ‘daddy Hart, but Bret expressed to Shawn how uncomfortable it was for him to hear Shawn call his dad ‘daddy’. Shawn’s undoubtedly their favorite son-in-law 
💍 Shawn was loved by most of Bret’s siblings, which is already an accomplishment within itself. And of course Shawn’s favorite Hart sibling is Owen who loved Shawn almost as much as Bret. However, with there being so many siblings, there was bound to be a few Shawn wasn’t too fond of. Bruce and Elizabeth were the main ones that came to mind
💍 Shawn had a verbal spat with Elizabeth once, the blond man taking up for Bret when Elizabeth started throwing low blows Bret’s way in an argument, such as discrediting his wrestling ability or commenting on how she didn’t see what Shawn saw in Bret. Bret had to hide the proud smile on his face at how Shawn didn’t back down and wasn’t afraid to go toe-to-toe with her
💍 However, that was nothing compared to Shawn’s issue with Bruce who’d called Shawn a gold digger at a family dinner. It became a whole thing: Shawn freezing at the word, truly shocked that he would be accused of that, Bret taking up for Shawn, Bret and Bruce almost getting into a fist fight, Shawn having to hold Bret back and guide him outside towards their car, Bret threatening to never come around again if that’s how they’re going to treat Shawn. Bret’s parents begged them to stay, but the night was already ruined, and Bret just wanted to get Shawn away from the situation
💍 Family gatherings are still a little awkward, but there’s not nearly as much tension now that years have gone by since the incident
💍 Shawn’s saving grace has been his close relationship with the other in-laws: Jim, Davey, and Martha. He felt like they had their own support group, there for each other when the Hart family got wild
 Thoughts on kids?
💍 Shawn’s really great with kids, but they’ve both agreed that they don’t desire to have children of their own. They have plenty enough nieces and nephews to keep them busy
💍 After getting married, they felt the pressure from Bret’s family. They were constantly getting asked about their thoughts on adoption or if they considered getting a surrogate. It even got to the point of Bret’s mom saying she knew a girl who’d carry their baby….weird
💍 Everyone eventually backed off once it was evident that the couple wasn’t going to budge. They were perfectly happy just having each other
💍 Besides, tending to their flower garden and watching their flowers grow was like raising kids in Shawn’s opinion
 Any tattoos/piercings?
💍 Shawn has two lobe piercings in his left ear and one on his right. And he also has a belly button piercing (both his and Bret’s favorite)
💍 Shawn has multiple tattoos including: the state of Texas on his calf, a Canadian leaf on his thigh, a heart with a dagger on his arm, a wedding band with the letter B in the middle on his ring finger, and Bret’s favorite, a heart on his ass cheek 
💍 His most recent tattoo was the one he got on their first-year wedding anniversary. It was a tattoo on his rib of Bret’s name in cursive with the hitman logo to the right of it. Hunter argued up and down with Shawn to not get someone’s name tatted on him. It’s the cardinal rule! But Shawn didn’t care. He loved this man and had no doubts they’d be together forever
💍 A little-known fact is that Bret’s afraid of needles, which is one of the reasons why he went the longest time without having any tattoos or piercings. He did eventually get a matching tattoo with Shawn, getting the same wedding band tattoo on his ring finger, but with an S in the middle instead
💍 Shawn held Bret’s other hand the whole time, allowing Bret to squeeze his hand whenever the pain became too much. Bret’s love for Shawn grew tenfold that day
 Any pet peeves?
💍 Shawn hates when Bret doesn’t tell him ahead of time that they have guests coming over. Shawn usually walks around the house with as little clothes as possible, whether it’s him walking around shirtless or wearing a silk robe with nothing underneath. Bret was lectured by Shawn to give him ample warning after a particularly embarrassing moment when Owen and Martha showed up unannounced, rounding the corner into the living room to see Shawn only wearing his favorite booty shorts, which were so tight they left nothing to the imagination
💍 Shawn calls Bret ‘Bretford’ or ‘Sergeant’ when being a smart ass. Bretford’s not even his real name, but Bret finds it entertaining when Shawn says it. However, he does not find being called Sergeant entertaining. Shawn usually says it when he’s pissed or feels like Bret’s bossing him around, insinuating that Bret’s treating him like a drill sergeant. Whenever he tells Shawn to stop, Shawn just innocently says “What? It’s your name, right?” and that always grinds his gears
💍 Bret also hates when Shawn walks away from arguments. It’s not like Shawn’s one to run from an argument. Lord knows he’s argued with Hunter more than enough. But he knows how he gets when he’s heated. When it comes to Bret, he doesn’t want to say something he’ll regret
 Insecurities?
💍 For both of them, age is an insecurity, but for different reasons. For Shawn, he wonders if he’s mature enough to be with Bret. Although he’s definitely grown as a person since being married, he still has issues with his attitude. His patience isn’t as great as Bret’s, sometimes leading to him snapping at the man. His biggest fear is Bret getting fed up with him one day and leaving
💍 For Bret, sometimes his mind drifts to if Shawn finds him boring, if he’d be happier with someone his own age. Shawn’s friends are pretty wild and Bret’s nothing like them. But Shawn promptly reminds him that there’s nothing out there better for him. “I’ve dated men my own age, Bret. And look where it led me…to you”
💍 Bret’s sexuality has also caused self-doubt in Shawn. While Shawn’s strictly dickly, Bret identifies as bisexual. Shawn sometimes wonders if Bret would ever chase after the traditional life and leave him for a woman. It was silly, really. But when he’s left all alone in an empty mansion for months at a time, it’s easy for his thoughts to run wild. Bret eases Shawn when he tells him that if the traditional life doesn’t include him, then he doesn’t want it
💍 Money has also been a topic of discussion. Shawn isn’t a materialistic person, but Bret introduced him to the finer things of life (expensive watches, necklaces, earrings, rings, etc.). He appreciates it, but he wants to be able to do the same for Bret. The couple shares a bank account, but it’s mostly Bret’s money. Bret tells Shawn he can buy whatever he wants with it. “What’s mine is yours.” But Shawn still wrestles with the fact that he’s not contributing financially to the marriage
💍 In the beginning stages of dating, Shawn was insecure about his body hair. He’d never been self-conscious about it before until he started dating Bret, noting how well-groomed the older man was. He wondered if he should make more of an effort to be hairless, but it was more work than he was willing to put in
💍 He’d gotten a full body wax once…sort of. He was too embarrassed to go to a professional. So, unfortunately for Hunter, Shawn enlisted the help of his best friend who wished he could wipe his memory of the experience.
“I’m not going anywhere near your dick!”
“Oh don’t act like you haven’t seen it before. Now help me wax my legs!”
💍 Hunter was still traumatized
💍 Fortunately for Shawn, and inadvertently Hunter, that was the first and last time he had to go through that experience. When Bret seemed indifferent to Shawn waxing, noting that he didn’t have a preference on the blond’s body hair, Shawn felt instant relief, “Oh, thank god. I feel like a naked mole rat!”
 Extras
💍 Shawn’s very protective of Bret. Everyone sees Bret as this big tough guy with no emotions, but Shawn knows Bret’s really a softie. He’s a very sweet, sentimental guy and tends to take things to heart more than the average person. Shawn coddles him, Hunter sometimes having to remind Shawn, “he’s a grown ass man, not a baby” whenever Shawn freaks out over Bret getting the slightest scrape from wrestling. Bret must be protected at all costs
💍 It still baffles Bret how much of his life he spent without Shawn being in it. Saying he depends on Shawn for survival wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Shawn reminds Bret to eat, remembers appointments, makes sure bills are paid on time. You name it. Plus, he’s a great cuddler. Bret’s dubbed Shawn as his support human
💍 Bret’s really talented at drawing, and he often uses Shawn as his muse. Shawn loves laying on the couch, sprawled out like Rose from Titanic as Bret draws whatever his heart desires. Bret repeatedly has to tell Shawn to sit still, the younger man incapable of staying in one position for more than a minute
💍 Shawn has a binder full of Bret’s art, most of it consisting of portraits of himself. Hunter called him conceited for it, but it’s not Shawn’s fault that he’s the inspiration for most of Bret’s drawings
💍 Although Shawn’s a country boy, he’s a total disco queen. More often than not, Bret would return home to Shawn blasting classic 70’s and 80’s disco throughout the house, unashamedly gyrating his hips to the beat. Abba, The Bee Gees, and Earth Wind & Fire were stuck on repeat 
💍 There was a point in the beginning stages of their relationship where they almost broke up due to Shawn’s drug use. The last time he used heavily was in college. However, he picked it up again and it slowly became a normal part of his routine whenever he hung out with the kliq, taking an unknown amount of somas or whatever was being offered at the time. Bret quickly became concerned when Shawn would come stumbling into his hotel room, clinging onto Hunter as he guided him to the bed, so incoherent that it was impossible for Bret to have a conversation with him. When it became a frequent occurrence, Bret adamantly told Shawn he needed to stop, to which the blond agreed. But it didn’t last long. It never did
💍 However, the final straw came when Shawn got so fucked up to the point of needing to be rushed to the hospital. Bret gave Shawn an ultimatum: either cut it out or they were done. He wasn’t going to sit by and watch Shawn ruin his life, especially when the blond was not making any efforts to better himself. It wasn’t a tough decision for Shawn. Just the thought of Bret leaving him shattered his heart. He wasn’t about to ruin what he was building with Bret. He’s never touched drugs ever since. Alcohol was another story, but Bret would rather deal with that than Shawn’s reckless drug use
💍 Shawn’s invite to the Slammy’s as Bret’s plus one was a huge deal.  Only their close friends and family knew of their relationship. Shawn was worried, asking Bret if them showing up together would be too obvious. “Well, maybe it’s time to make it obvious” was Bret’s reply
💍 Owen’s their unofficial marriage counselor, both men often venting to him about their light annoyances. For Bret, it was usually him complaining about how annoying Shawn’s friends were. He couldn’t exactly complain to Shawn about that as the younger man always took up for them. For Shawn, it was whenever he was frustrated with Bret and needed to be reminded that not all Harts were insufferable. Owen tries hard to act as a neutral party, but there are times where he picks sides, and more often than not he sides with Shawn, oop 🫢
💍 Bret likes playing in Shawn’s hair. Whether it’s running his hands through the soft blond hair or attempting (and failing) to put it in a ponytail. Shawn let’s him do whatever style he wants, just loving the attention Bret gives him

THERE ARE TOO MANY ARTWORKS OF REINER IN THAT DAMN CHAIR WITH A FREAKIN' GUN TO HIS MOUTH.
I'm going to fucking cry. They are all such good artworks tho and I love them, but my feelings. When I first saw that scene... DJFLSJF So help me, I wanted to slap him SO bad.
Anyway, I'd like to thank Falco. If he wasn't there, Reiner's brains might have splattered all over the wall. I say MIGHT because a part of me wants to believe that despite his, at that time, 99.9% need to just kill himself... I think that the .1% miiiiiiight kick in. Again, might. He was already constantly at a really low point (he's good at hiding it, I feel), and remembering his time in Paradis after talking about it with his family just triggered things. Regrets. Feelings... about what a piece of shit he felt he was; not a hero... just a murderer when he realized there were no devils. Just people like him.
I mean, Reiner's a good person through and through. And just because you're good, doesn't mean you're immune from making bad decisions. You can be the smartest dude and still make shitty calls (hi Zeke, ilu bestie). And Reiner's a pretty smart guy specially when it comes to being one step ahead, making plans... based on what he learned in Marley, but mostly because of what he learned through experience... in what he felt would be the best course of action that will keep him alive long enough to get the job done. Because more than success for Marley, again... his need to be a hero, to be respected, came from the fact that he wants to bring his family together again (which failed when his father blatantly said he wanted nothing to do with them), and then to simply just make his mother proud and give her a good life.
We gotta understand that when he made the decision to stay in Paradis, he was a scared, brainwashed kid that didn't know any better apart from the fact that if you fail, you die. And he couldn't die just yet... not without doing anything to make a difference, not when he's hardly at the starting point to his goal. I mean, they got by eight years in Paradis without getting caught. Correspondences sent by him when Annie was in the MP were all done through secret code. Eight years of living with people he believed were demons, eight years of relearning how to live in a society that's less advanced than what they're used to. A lifetime of shouldering the guilt of Marcel's death. Eight years of having to be the leader to their trio because he was the one who made the call to stay. Eight years of carrying the burden of the truth that will continuously eat at him for the rest of his life. Eight years of hate from Annie. Four years and counting when it comes to blaming himself for Annie's capture and Bertolt's death. A lifetime being haunted by the fact that he was never really good enough, that he was just the option so that Porco wouldn't have to die... but he died either way when Eren attacked. A lifetime of blaming himself for the failure at Paradis, and because of what he did, he understands he was part of what caused Eren to turn this way...
And you know what? Despite the fact that he almost committed suicide, almost gave up after saving Falco... he still forced himself to do the right thing. Taking accountability for what he had done, rather than running away via whatever means available. And he could have done it too. He could have just stopped listening, or went back to trying to shoot himself, but he didn't. He could have told Connie and the scouts "no" when they went to him to put an effort to "save" the world. He could have stayed behind like Annie; I'm 100% sure he's just as exhausted from all the fighting. He had 4 years of being Marley's damn shield in the Mid-East Alliance War. He did his best to prove himself and is still continuously doing so. Besides. I think he did his utmost to cling to the armor because he understands the responsibility and the curse of becoming a titan shifter. That's why he was so adamant about Falco taking over him so that Gabi wouldn't. Admittedly, that's a dick move on his part... threatening Falco like that, but he was doing it so that he could save his cousin. That doesn't make it right, of course. But he's just the type of guy to do what he can to stop losing people that he cares about. He's already suffered so much loss. And understands that he can never be forgiven for what he did. He doesn't expect it, doesn't even want the forgiveness... he just wants to atone for what he's done... he doesn't even make excuses for himself, and simply takes it, accepts his faults and works out ways to make things better not for himself but for others.
That's so attractive of him.
Of course, deep down. Even if he doesn't admit to it... I think that he just wants to be accepted and forgiven... but knows he's done too much to ever be granted that. That's why what Jean said, I could see, meant so much to him. The acceptance. That he was still regarded as one of them, as part of the 104th; or what his mother told him at the end when everything was over.
He's so endearing. I love him so much.
Anyway... I ended up gushing again. Sorry. Don't mind me.

How does Sokka know Azula/Areshi is a lesbian? Did she tell him?
"So I gotta ask: what are two Fire Nationals doing all the way out here in the middle of the Earth Kingdom and not, you know, trying to take everything over?" Sokka asks Areshi when he finds her chopping wood outside. It's not that he doesn't trust her or her mom, but...no, he pretty much doesn't trust them yet.
Wolf-gold eyes glance at him before focusing again on the logs in front of her. Areshi shrugs. "Living, mostly."
"Hah hah," he deadpans. "No really." He sighs and rubs the back of his neck. "You didn't have to help us back in town. And...judging how a lot of people there seem to, uh..."
"Hate my face on principle?"
Sokka grimaces. "I wasn't going to say it like that. But, yeah, basically. You gotta admit, it'd be a lot easier on you if you were actually in the Fire Nation."
Areshi is quiet for a bit, the only sounds the thunk of the axe biting into the wood. "You sure about that?" she finally asks, voice soft.
Something about how she says it makes him stop short. There's a hint of something in her voice, a something that he doesn't expect, never even thought to expect, to come from a Fire National, much less an actual ashmaker. Or...he thinks, considering Areshi, maybe just a firebender.
Is that it? Is there a difference between the two? They've been one and the same for so long in Sokka's head that untangling the two words is strange. But putting Areshi and Eri in the same category as the rest just...doesn't seem right. Not just because they helped him and the rest out of a tight spot. Nah, he knows people can do them nice favors while still being awful.
This isn't the same. It's that hint of something in Areshi's voice, a weight of hurt and fear and dread that's all too familiar.
And damn it, Sokka's always been too curious for his own good. "What do you mean?"
She doesn't answer for long enough that he wonders if she didn't hear him. "Here, they might hate me, but they're honest about it. They don't actively want me dead and hide it behind claims of being family."
"What?"
Areshi looks uncomfortable. He's about to tell her nevermind, to forget he ever asked, when she shakes her head and sighs. "I...Eri told you guys how I was...separated from her until recently, right? My father...heard a rumor that I was a, uh, sleeve-cutter. He wasn't pleased." She looks away, the tips of her ears red. "The fact that it's true didn't help."
("Areshi loves women, not men," Eri later explains bluntly when he asks her quietly for clarification. "Her father is willing to have my little girl die for the sin of loving who he thinks is the wrong person. She can't be exactly the little toy soldier he wants her to be, so she's useless to him and there's no place for useless things in a Fire Nation ruled by a son of Azulon.")
He blinks, unsure. She shrugs and swings the axe with quite a bit of force, splitting the wood in front of her. "With him knowing that, it wasn't exactly safe for me to stick around. And it wasn't like I had anyone else to help me. My uncle hates my guts on the basis that I exist in the first place, I think, so that wasn't even worth the effort."
"And...you didn't...running into enemy territory was seriously your best option?" Sokka doesn't know if he even wants to know the answer to this question.
She shrugs again, a little too forced to be completely nonchalant. "My older brother and I never got along, at least half of that's my fault, so I can't be surprised he blew me off before I could even admit I needed help." There's a sharp twist to her smile. "I guess I even had it coming. Even if it did still sting."
Sokka thinks if he frowns any harder, it's going to be permanently etched into his face. He doesn't know what to say to that, doesn't even know what to think. (Even when Katara drives him absolutely bonkers, he'd never in a million years do that to her. If she ever needed help that bad and he'd blown her off, and he found out? He'd rather eat glass and wash it down with boiling whale oil.)
Maybe there isn't anything he can say.
"Here, give me the axe," he says gruffly, holding out a hand. "You're making me feel lazy, doing all that chopping while I'm just standing here and not helping."
Areshi stops and gives him a long look. Sokka doesn't waver under the gaze of those wolf-gold eyes, just stands there with his hand out, palm up. Waiting.
She hands over the axe.

Hello I've seen this been made by another account but i havent been able to find it and i just wanted to see it in your writing so i wanted to request a "mcyts with a reader who can mimick voices" gender neutral and headcannon's.
sapnap, wilbur and schlatt with an s/o who can mimic voices
Tumblr media
⋆。˚ summary: your talent for copying voices was a great help in your boyfriend's content creation journey
⋆。˚ including: cc!sapnap, cc!wilbur and cc!schlatt
⋆。˚ warnings: reader uses they/them pronouns
⋆。˚ note: I really hope this was alright, I didn't really have a lot of ideas for this but I hope people still enjoy it <3
Tumblr media
Sapnap
you’d long been an important part of Sapnap’s streaming setup
the favorite voice of your boyfriend’s was in fact his best friend and roommate, Dream
sometimes it was just phrases you’d picked up from the faceless streamer or even just copying his wheeze when you deemed it appropriate
“Do you want lamb?” what sounded like Dream’s voice but was actually yours resounded out from next to the mic as you showed off the dinner you and Sapnap were currently eating
“It’s not even lamb, babe. You’re going to confuse chat.” Sapnap shook his head goodnaturedly as he picked around his meal
his viewers were particularly fond of the “Dream bit” which you found yourself doing at random intervals
leaving the room with barely contained giggles and coming back in, opening the door and standing just off screen so no one could see you
“Hey Nick, you need anything? I’m going to the store… Oh are you streaming?”
he can’t help but smile at your antics and the few people who just joined and genuinely believed Dream had almost revealed his identity
your impression was painfully accurate to the point where many people in chat would send in donos just to get you to say stupid stuff in Dream’s voice
Wilbur
nearly everyone who’s ever met Tommy would say he’s got a very recognizable voice
while you may not be the best at accents or mimicking voices, you had Tommy’s mannerisms down to a T
which meant you got to have a little fun when Wilbur joined one of his many discord calls of the day
Tommy was his most common caller, but every once in a while you were lucky enough to have him call anyone other than the rowdy blonde kid your boyfriend spent so much time with
today’s victim was Phil, who had been on a chill call with Wilbur for the better half of an hour
neither of the men had their cameras on making your prank even easier
standing past Wilbur’s slightly open door, just close enough that your voice could be picked up by his phone
“POG!” you called from your hiding place behind the door “Toby! Did you see what I just sent you!”
you can barely hear Phil’s confused “Is that Tommy? Didn’t know he was visiting.”
your stifled laughs cover the sound of Wilbur telling Phil he’d be back in a minute and then padding across his office
the door swings open and you’re unceremoniously chased down the hall by an exasperated Wilbur as Phil shouts confusedly from the computer
Schlatt
as much as you loved being a part of Schlatt’s videos and streams, there were times when you felt like a glorified soundboard
he was well aware of your talent at copying voices and constantly used it to his advantage
think of his text to speech Kanye dono voice, but infinitely more accurate and, even worse, customizable
whether he wanted you to be any number of his friends or some popular celebrity, you were more than happy to deliver on his part
“Sweetcheeks read the questions. I gotta keep my eyes on the road.” Schlatt’s direction was something you were more than used to on his q&a sessions while he played truck simulator
“Alright, alright. What are we doing tonight?” you question what voice he’s looking for
he pulls his lips up close to his nose, doing his classic mustache sniff as he decides “How about Obama.”
there was even a bit you two had decided to do where you stood behind his Pope cut out and recited random lines in terrible Italian
like always with Schlatt, the bit ended with him confessing his love to the Pope, to which you jumped out from behind the cut out and accused him of cheating on you
but for all your hard work, you were rewarded with lots of love from both chat and your boyfriend

All righty I’ve finished science brofist’s route and that means more rambling! (Seriously though everyone sees his name as that right?? How the hell else am I supposed to pronounce Scien Brofiise??? It sure as hell ain’t how they say it in Japanese! 😂) spoilers under the cut as usual
Hmm… overall while I liked it, I think I’ve been so thoroughly emotionally and mentally broken by Mathis and Lucas that Scien’s route seemed pretty… tame in comparison LOLOL 💀 or maybe I’m still on residual WTFs from Lucas and should’ve waited another day to let it settle oops
The pain meter from these first three to me is Lucas > Mathis > Scien
The ending was definitely still a big oof and a little yikes though 😬. But with how dubious the “science” is in this game, part of me was wondering why Scien couldn’t just make a clone from Ceres’s body and then stick the memories he had into her after? Like people save memory backups of themselves prior to dying so why couldn’t he have saved her memories on whatever constitutes a USB stick in this world lmao
The science in this game in general honestly I just… can’t think about too deeply or it all falls apart LOL, being in like the medieval ages where you still gotta hand wash clothes but then suddenly having shit like electric cars, headset phones, touch-holograms, and perfect cloning with memories but not emotions is such whiplash 😂
The final CG was super pretty though, oof the expression on his face, my poor babygirl 😩 but… why are all the kiss CGs… not super great LOL, is the artist bad at drawing kisses? Because so far they’ve all looked a little uhhhh in each route? 😬😂
I very much appreciate the fact though that Scien’s best CGs are hands down the ones where he’s posing like a lil slut lmaooo, the jigsaw puzzle one?? Bitch he’s practically twirling his hair!! 😂
And his interactions with Ceres were very cute, especially the whole sandwich thing! But when she was like yay I’m so happy I’ve been promoted from maid to a sandwich dispenser! I was like girl… are you okay…?? Well clearly not but still 😂 like dang, never been happier getting told by a man to make me a sandwich lmaooo
Anyways! Back to the route in general - the whole thing of him being an oh no evil science man was so… meh to me? Maybe because I work in the sciences so I have a different view but like, I was perfectly fine with him experimenting on criminals? That’s pretty much what clinical trials are in the real world?? Of course you need to test shit on a few people before giving stuff out to the the general populace??? Why are people upset at this????
It was nice learning a bit more about Salome (though tbh I thought her backstory and relationship to scien would be… more significant LOL). And kinda weird that they left her mumbling when they were in hiding as “…” instead of maybe just quickly forcing the text to go through, because my limited amount of Japanese from anime let me understand the gist of what she was saying and oh. Gives a bit of a different vibe knowing what she said vs it having to be explained
Also, my face when they just decapitated Adolphe but then Ceres TOOK HIS HEAD WITH HER? HONEY NO, GIRL PUT IT BACK HE’S DRIPPING
FUCK THE ROYAL FAMILY, ALL MY HOMIES HATE THE ROYAL FAMILY 🔫🔫 The reservoirs or repertoires or whatever the hell they’re called can eat my ass and die 😂
The way I hollered when Lucas went in and shanked their asses, MY MAN!! … every other time he showed up though was a big aw shit Lucas we’re not in your route anymore go away please!! You’re causing the despair end nooo!!! 😂 very conflicting emotions when I see him now lmao
Same with when I see Jean… like you’re still so pretty and I love you but uhhh, hey Mathis maybe come over this way instead 😬
Side note, kinda sad we didn’t get to see Ankou in the second half of the route…
And finally - I love you Dahut, I was so worried you’d be evil but oh, thank god we have someone that’s just like a good friendly person (I think), you are so pure I love you please show up in every route to ease my fears (Hugo doesn’t count because I’ve still got my eye on him LOL)
Aight I think that’s it! In summary, Scien is this meme:
Tumblr media
Literally just look at him
Tumblr media
I wish I looked this sexy doing a jigsaw puzzle 😂

♡ rules: choose an artist and list 13 lyrics that describe you. my artist is lana del rey
I can't help but feel somewhat like my body marred my soul
and if this is the end, I want a boyfriend / someone to eat ice cream with, and watch television or walk home from the mall with / ‘cause what I really meant is when I'm being honest I'm tired of this shit
it's beautiful how this deep normality settles down over me / I'm not bored or unhappy, I'm still so strange and wild
they mistook my kindness for weakness / I fucked up, I know that, but, Jesus / can't a girl just do the best she can? / catch a wave and take in the sweetness / think about it, the darkness, the deepness / all the things that make me who I am
there's things I wanna say to you, but I'll just let you live / like if you hold me without hurting me you'll be the first who ever did
don't ask if I'm happy, you know that I'm not / but at best, I can say I'm not sad / ‘cause hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
I get ready, I get all dressed up to go nowhere in particular / it doesn't matter if I'm not enough for the future or the things to come / ‘cause I'm young and in love
and I'd be lying if I kept hiding the fact that I can't deal / and that I've been dying for something real
but we're just beautiful people with beautiful problems, yeah / beautiful problems, God knows we've got them / but we gotta try / every day and night
sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind / I wanna get off, but I keep riding the ride
my life, it comprises of losses and wins and fails and falls
I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
feet don't fail me now / take me to your finish line / oh my heart it breaks every step that I take

“No, I’m telling you, the teakettlers around here eat people.” She blinked and turned slowly to stare the man down, setting aside the little ‘fifteen dollars a hide’ sign.
“How,” she said slowly, “the absolute fuck, did you lot manage to get teakettlers eating people? You hardly ever even see ‘em!”
“Nobody’s really sure,” he admitted with a shrug. “Problem’s been building for a while, but since they’re so hard to find… Well it’s all gotten a bit out of hand. Best anyone can guess is some foreign critter got let loose in the woods and bred in.” Shaking her head, she asked
“How do you even know it’s teakettlers?”
“Well, it was the tracks at first, and the fact folks looked to have been attacked from the bottom up, but we couldn’t be sure they weren’t scavenging. So some folks from the University came down to take a look and confirmed it. Only cases of a teakettler attack since Dayton Thacker back in 1907.” He leaned over and spat something behind the counter. “We got it all worked out with a couple sanctuaries, zoos and such, they’re gonna reintroduce the critters to the area, good healthy population, ya know? But first we gotta wipe out these murderous ones. So until that’s all said and done, I gotta suggest you don’t go out into those woods alone. If’n ya do, at least make sure to carry a good whopping stick with you, for protection.” Still thrown, she slowly nodded.
“I’ll make sure to keep that in mind, thanks.”

Characters in my “Lives of AU” Part 2
Kipper Krupp: Ex-bully who still is rough around the edges and tries to make up for his wrongs. Also he forms a band with his friends and likes to..... experiment with new substances until he finds himself having to deal with his uncle’s strict side, which, for him, is the first time.
(I don’t have detailed descriptions for his friends, but know there’s a secret cinnamon roll in the group ;) )
Jasper Krupp: Krupp’s hyperactive older brother who is golden in everyone’s eyes, especially his mother’s. It’s good for him but not when it leaves his little brother as the scape goat.
Mr. Fyde: Retired teacher who copes with his insanity, triggered by things he’s seen in the school, by writing some poems that catch the attention of his wife whom he finds a way to send them to, and later the authorities.
Ms. Ribble: A stale mean girl who wants to drag everyone down to her level, just to step over them and rise to the top.
Ms. Anthrope: The school secretary who’s boredom eats her alive until she meets up with an old partner and her past shocks everyone.
Ms. Young (original character): The preppy new counselor hired to replace the old one after he crossed the line and manages to make all the teachers jealous with her youth, naturally, given she’s only 24 and fresh outta college. The kids love her but some of her knowledge on certain subjects starts to concern Mr. Krupp, but they’ll discuss it later. Oh, and she’s Edith’s new best friend!
Lisa: A young legal immigrant who can’t seem to break the language barrier. Fortunately, Harold and George understand her well enough thanks to their favorite show LOS ANIMALES (en espanol) and Senor Citizen is willing to let a child teach him Spanish in return for him teaching her english. Also, she and George seem to get along really, really well. Just sayin ;)
Billy: A shy boy who is forced to learn piano by his overbearing yet well meaning parents, and comes to love it. He’s becomes so good at it, he convinces Krupp to restart the music program. Harold really likes him alot ;)
Gooch: A little boy who struggles with self esteem due to brain damage caused by a “careless” nurse and can’t seem to find his place in the world. But at least everyone loves him, even if the teachers don’t really understand his issues, or the fact he should be in Special Education.
Bo: A shy orphan boy who makes it by hiding in the clay room after school and lashes out at the rumors surrounding him
Melvin Sneedly:  A brilliant child who is so socially inept he can’t even believe someone would want to be his friend, but that doesn’t keep him from trying to find an acquaintance in George and Harold. He actually feels he can relate to them on a deeper level, but he doesn’t know why.
Jessica: A mean girl who can’t keep it up forever.
“Sophie 1″ (Later Cindy): Hey, what’s a girl gotta do to fit in? And why does she want to fit in again?
“Sophie 2″: A non-verbal girl who was dragged into Jessica’s clique just to be a door mat, but don’t worry, she’ll find her voice in a much different way than just talking!
Erika: A brilliant girl with sharp wit and sharp eyes on the prize. Do I even need to tell you, yes she’s gonna be president, but first she has to be school president. And it’s certainly is an adventure in itself, read about it in the school newspaper. Also, having a crush on her assistant is unprofessional, girl’s got to step it up!
Stanely Peet: A southern boy who needs better hygene, because adjusting to the north is hard enough, but people just love to make assumptions on what you believe just because of where in America you’re from, and that ain’t right!
Dressy Killman: She hates her last name, because life is all about love, just get on the same vibe man.... her non-traditional family exists for a reason.
Tommy: A young boy who finally conquers his depression, all on his own.
