"Izzy?" Stede softly calls, bringing his hands together as he approaches the other. "I, um, I was wondering if you would, um... o-or if I could, um..." Oh he's nervous. The way he's fidgeting with his hands, tripping over his words, looking down every so often. Why was he so nervous? He doesn't expect the answer to be something negative, considering how much time they've already been spending together during just the first week they've met. "Well, I... I know we've had breakfast and lunch together and we've been spending time in each other's apartments, but I'd really like to..." Oh, just ask it Bonnet! "I... I'd really like to take you to dinner." His heart is racing. "O-on a, um... on a date." And there it is. Finally. He takes in a deep breath and holds it. "Will you go out with me?" (For Modern Izzy because I had feels <3 )
It might have been surprising as it was even to Izzy, but he hadn’t slept with Stede. That was difficult. Honestly, the baker didn’t know how he had done it except his own desire for commitment and fear that it still, even with all the emotion, could be one and done. Izzy kept himself extremely guarded with emotions, especially after his last attempt at a serious relationship. Since then, and even in detriment to his own soul, he’d simply engaged in heartless fucking. If he saw a pretty young thing on the street that said he’d slept with him? He most likely didn’t know. Their faces blurred together and he was never really looking at them anyway. Tawdry sex was tawdry sex.
It was what made Bonnet so special. He’d refused to sleep with him and not without the blonde’s lack of trying. Good god was the awkward writer drooling for him. It took a lot of strength to deny that, but he had. Izzy just wanted to see if Stede really would be jnto it for the long haul. So far, it seemed he was.
Another long day at the bakery was upon him and he certainly didn’t expect to see him show up. They didn’t have anything planned. But then there he was, squirming like he had ants in his pants. “ .. yes? “ He was already smiling. He always smiled when he was around. Hell, he glowed. Was he — oh wow. Izzy simply went from slightly amused at his nervousness to complete awe. This beautiful and ridiculous man just formally asked him on a date. It wasn’t even time for either of them to be off work, but here Stede was, utterly adorable.
So it took a few moments for the utter shock to wear off. Roach and Frenchie were listening in and watching from the back, even as Izzy started to turn a spectacular shade of red. He hadn’t felt.. flushed, in a long time. He was taken aback by it all, but then he realized he was simply in a sort of daze, only after Frenchie loudly cleared his throat to snap him out of it. Was this what it was like to be utterly obsessed with someone? To have your heart flutter at the mere sight and idea? Because his was going a mile a minute.
Finally he managed that warm smile. Chin tucked to his chest, eyes looked up bashfully through lashes. It was a fucking miracle when the baker actually felt bashful, but with Stede this was brand new and exciting territory. “ I’d love to go out dinner with you.. “ Maybe he said it a bit too eagerly, fawning over him in that moment. “ Really. “ He reassured, reaching out from behind the counter to put a hand on his and squeeze with a soft laugh. “ There’s nothing else I want in this world than to go out on a date with you.. “ Maybe he showed his cards a bit too much then, but gods was it true. He wanted to be romanced and Stede did such a magnificent job of doing just that.

being a jujutsu sorcerer and a parent rarely ends well. sorcerers who have to fight for their lives everyday barely have any time and energy even for themselves. adding babies to the picture is hard to imagine.
but gojo was determined to balance his work and personal life when you entered his life, which is why he has a baby girl strapped to his chest as he holds up his hand and crosses his fingers, already to send a special grade curse into his domain.
"daddy~" his baby babbles, cheek squished against his purple uniform.
"yes, baby?" gojo smiles down at his baby and gently sweeps her hair out of her eyes. he pays little to no attention to the curse, who had already spread out their domain and is currently sending wave after wave of attacks, all of which gojo repels with a touch. "this is domain expansion," he gently explains to her, smirking at the curse who is obviously offended that he wasn't taking them seriously. "in a second, you're gonna see daddy's domain."
his baby blinks and shuffles around in the strap, whining a bit as she tries to get comfortable. for all she knows, it's too dark and hot and she misses mommy's smell.
before she knows it, the space around her begins to look like the night sky, and she can't see the curse anymore.
"this is my domain," her daddy says, but she misses seeing the sun. why is it nighttime all of the sudden?
"nooo" she whines as she kicks around. where's the ice cream he promised her earlier? and where is mommy? she doesn't want to go to sleep yet!
"not easily impressed, hm?" he laughs, protectively holding his baby's head against his chest as he closes up his domain after finishing off the curse.
"let's go get ice cream, yeah?" he ruffles her hair and holds up her hands, dancing them up in the air with a huge grin. the sunlight hits her face again and a smile quickly reappears. "you did so good today. did you learn a lot about jujutsu fights today? did'ja enjoy our little adventure together?"
"ice cweam" she smiles, doing a few happy kicks. and that's how the tradition of getting ice cream after missions started for the daddy-daughter pair.

happy new year Ego!!! Just wanted to let you know that I absolutely adore your twst fanart and the tags are just an absolute pleasure to read! You are my greatest inspiration for my personal twst art and I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful masterpieces <333 if possible, may I ask what are some of your headcanons for the diasomnia family? If not for diasomnia then any other characters are fine as well!
thank you, and happy new year! 💚💜💚 that is amazing to hear; it's always a little bewildering but super flattering that other people like my silly little doodles so much!
I don't think I really have any really solid headcanons and also canon keeps validating me left and right (FLUFFY DOMESTIC DIAFAM IS REAL). mostly just kind of...impressions and general thoughts, if that makes sense! lately though I've been kind of obsessed with thinking about Lilia's hair, and specifically when/why he ended up cutting it. (l-look, we're bouncing around the timeline and I gotta make decisions about these things when I draw, it's relevant) (I mean I would probably be weirdly fixated on this anyway, but.)
I think I've settled on the idea that he kept it long until he went to NRC, partly because 1) I like drawing The Ponytail, and 2) I think he thought of NRC as a chance to reinvent himself a bit! he gets to go and be a wacky carefree teenager for a few years and have fun! (officially he's there to keep an eye on Son #1, but how much trouble could he get into, really.) so he gave himself a Cool Teen Haircut to go with his fresh new Cool Teen Persona!
also maybe he had some reflection on his hair's troubled past with three kids...
...and had to weigh his vanity versus the fact that he was going off to be around hundreds of kids on a daily basis, and. the choice suddenly seemed obvious.
