Thanks again for commissioning me, @ghostdreamer90111! Here’s your second My Hero Academia matchup.

I’ve matched you with... All Might!

MBTI Compatibility

INFJs are known as the Advocate. This personality type is known for their remarkable compassion, as well as for being hardworking and conscientious. They’re sometimes called the Idealist, and this is due to their positivity and determination to see the best in others. As an INFJ, you are considerate, highly perceptive, and you value honesty in your relationships, both romantic and platonic.

Toshinori is an ENFJ — a Giver. ENFJs are very thoughtful and strive to lead purpose-driven lives. They adhere to a strong moral code and do everything in their power to help those around them, as well as make the world a better place. They are natural leaders with lots of passion and charisma, and they never hesitate to speak up for what’s right. 

Both INFJs and ENFJs are passionate and have strong convictions. Although ENFJs are more vocal about theirs, that shared connection can help to build a strong foundation for a relationship. Both types care deeply and derive enjoyment from seeing their friends and loved ones succeed. This kind of mutual support can help these two types develop a strong, healthy romantic relationship.

Astrological Compatibility

Virgos are known for being energetic and ambitious, though they are also practical. They don’t tend to enter into things lightly, and many are prone to perfectionism. Virgos are loyal friends who are sensitive to others’ feelings, and they can always be counted on.

Toshinori is a Gemini. They often get a bad reputation for being “two-faced” when, in reality, they are intellectually curious and often struggle to balance their many interests and pursuits. Their mind is often in many places at one time.

Virgos and Geminis can thrive in a romantic relationship as long as there is mutual understanding and compromise. Since Geminis can often seem of two minds about things, or incapable of remaining focused on solely one thing at a time, Virgos must be accepting of this while helping to exert a grounding influence. Both, however, can be fun and excitement into each other’s life.

While Virgo is more practical and direct, Geminis can sometimes seem as if they’re barreling ahead with no long-term plan. While Toshinori is quick to act and someone who adapts well when faced with changing situations, he’s also a partner who thinks things through – occasionally to the point of overthinking them. He’s a more stable type of Gemini who can be a steady source of support in a romantic partner’s life.

SFW Headcanons

•  One of Toshinori’s love languages is quality time. Even though he leads a busy life and has to balance many commitments, he feels it’s important to be there for the ones you love. Even if it means moving things around or pulling a nonstop day to have an evening off with you, he doesn’t hesitate to do it. Like you, he’s also physically affectionate. It makes him happy to be close to you whenever possible. 

•  He has a strong moral code that many would go so far as to describe as unwavering. He stops at nothing to do what’s right and protect others, and this especially applies to you. If something has happened to upset you or someone has wronged you in any way, he’s unstoppable in his efforts to make things right. You bring him all the peace and joy he’s always craved from a romantic relationship. The least he can do is try to make you just as happy and keep you safe.

•  He’s something of an extroverted introvert, capable of socializing and seeming very outgoing and gregarious, but then needing some alone time to balance it out. Because of this, he’s very understanding of your need for independence and time to do things for yourself by yourself. You’re both tremendously empathetic people, which makes it easier for you to gauge each other’s moods and better understand what you’ve gone through in life.

•  PDA isn’t something that comes naturally to him. But, over time, you can coax him into it more and more. He’s most comfortable with smaller gestures, such as sliding an arm around your waist, kissing your cheek, or placing a hand on your knee when you’re both out at a restaurant or sitting together on the couch at a friend’s party. He prefers to save the more intimate displays of affection for when you two are alone.

•  Although he has no pets of his own, he likes animals very much, especially cats. And cats, in particular, seem almost drawn to him. It’s not unusual to take a walk with him and spot several strays who seem determined to adopt him. Your cat responds similarly to his presence, happy to curl up on his lap and purr contentedly. When the two of you eventually move in together, he would be very open to adopting another cat.

•  He enjoys all kinds of dates, though he prefers ones where he can slow down, talk with you, and really savor the pleasure of your company. It’s not often that he has the chance to take time away from hero duties, so he keeps a list on his phone of places he wants to go with you and ideas for dates, eagerly awaiting the day he can cross one off. Museums are a big favorite of his, since he loves learning. But it’s hard to top a cozy picnic at the park on a warm spring day.

Drabble

It’s been such a long day. Toshinori is exhausted, fumbling with his keys a little as he enters your shared apartment. Hero work really took it out of him today, and that’s damn hard to do. It was just one thing after another and another, and then, on top of all that, he had to catch up on paperwork.

Who knew being a pro hero involved so much pencil-pushing? he thinks, sighing heavily as he shrugs out of his coat. He had gone ahead and changed at the office, wanting to be in more comfortable clothes for the first time since early that morning.

He half-expected you to be home, unless you stopped at the grocery store after work. So it’s not a surprise to see you sitting on the couch, waiting for him. He grins and opens his mouth to greet you. But then he stops dead in his tracks, almost choking on his words.

You’re wearing one of his hoodies. You’re practically swimming in it, as big as it is. Your hands are hidden deep inside the sleeves, and he can only see your bare legs because you’ve pulled the hem up far enough to reveal them.

“You — I — that’s my...”

You’re patient as he struggles with his words, a small smile tugging at your lips. “Cat got your tongue?” you tease, and his cheeks turn pink.

“You look... Wow.”

You can’t help but laugh as he moves closer, still looking deeply flustered. “I was hoping you’d like it.”

His exhaustion quickly forgotten, he spends the rest of the night showing you exactly how much he likes it.

NSFW Headcanons

•  There’s something about domesticity that turns him on, the idea of building a home together, maybe even a family. Considering this, it’s no surprise when you discover he has a bit of a breeding kink. He’s embarrassed at first, but when he realizes how much you like it, he slowly begins to incorporate it into your sex life. Few things are sexier to him than cumming inside you and then looking at what he’s done to you, pushing his seed back in as it slowly leaks out.

•  He’s open to trying all kinds of positions, as long as he can ensure that he isn’t hurting you. He’s a big man, so this is a valid concern. One position that eliminates that worry is cowgirl. Not only does it flip the power dynamic and put you in control, but it gives him the most spectacular view. He settles his large hands on your hips, praising you as you move up and down on his cock, even helping if you want. It’s no trouble at all for him to lift you, and it usually gets him riled up even more.

•  As with all activities both in and out of the bedroom, Toshinori is careful when he spanks you. He learns what level of pressure you like, where you’re most sensitive, and how long you can handle it. While spanking you, he enjoys praising you, telling you how good you look bent over his lap like this. “So good for me. Remind me what number we’re on. If you can’t... well... I suppose we’ll have to keep going, won’t we?”

•  He has incredible stamina thanks to his quirk. If you challenged him to go all night, he could easily do it. That being said, your pleasure is always what guides him. He asks what you’re in the mood for, what you’ve been fantasizing about, what you want to try. He loves the sound of your voice, even more so when you’re sharing your deepest, darkest desires.

•  Not only is Toshinori conscientious during sex, but he’s very careful and caring afterwards. Put simply, his aftercare is second to none. He’ll draw you a bath, bring you water or a mug of hot tea, give you a full-body massage... He encourages you to be vocal about what you want, but even when you can’t, when you’re so tired, the words just won’t come, he knows you well enough to know what you need.

fluff alphabet: eren jaeger

↯ pairing: eren jaeger x (fem) reader

↯ genres and warnings: modern au, more fluff but that’s what you come here for at this point

↯ word count: 3.5k… again… i’m sorry…?

↯ notes: i don’t know why all of these are so long, but here you go again

Activities — What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

Honestly, anything. I’ve said before that I think the love language he gives/expresses the most is quality time. That being said, almost anything you want to do, Eren is down to do with you.

In fact, you don’t even have to do anything. Eren just likes being in your presence. He could spend several days inside your apartment doing nothing but talking to you.

He does get a little antsy sometimes, so he would plan fun dates to get you both out of the house; but again, if you wanted to plan something instead of him, he wouldn’t be opposed.

Takes you to places like amusement parks and fairs, bars/new restaurants, swimming, basically anything he can find. His guilty pleasure is karaoke, and insists that the both of you get drunk and sing your little hearts out to pop songs until 1am. 

Beauty — What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

Eren thinks you’re pretty. All the time, and he makes it a point to tell you at least twice a day; often times, more.

If you have small/specific beauty marks or scars or anything on your skin, Eren is infatuated with them. Whenever you’re cuddling he’ll seek them out/trace them/kiss them.

Everytime he finds a new one he gasps like a child and is like “Babe! Did you know you have a little freckle here, look!”

If you have a passion for something, or are just general a pretty organized student, Eren would admire that about you. He somewhat looks up to you in those respects, too.

Comfort — How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack, etc.?

To him, the best method is to give you something to do—so, in a sense, provide a distraction for you.

He’ll try and teach you about his favorite video games and have you play with him. Even if you’re bad or you say you don’t want to, he’ll insist, and use teaching you as a method to get your mind off of whatever’s bothering you.

He’s not always the most perceptive, but he can tell when you’re sadder than usual, or obviously, when you’re upset.

He also gives good hugs. If all else fails and he feels like he can’t help you in any other tangible way, he’ll just hug you for as long as he can.

Dreams — How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Honestly, how ever you picture things, is how ever Eren is going to picture them, too. Mostly, he just wants to have fun with you, and wants to continue making you happy for as long as he can.

His biggest goal is that one day he wants to feel truly worthy of all the affection you give him; he wants to be good enough to be someone you choose to stay with.

Equal — Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

Eren kind of falls for/into those “traditional” relationship roles; and while part of it is definitely an “I’m the man, so I want to do this” mindset, most of it is kind of “Well, why wouldn’t I?”

A lot of Eren’s affection and actions come from a place that seem simple and almost instinctual to him; and he doesn’t even realize how profound his thoughts and actions can be.

For example, he’ll help you carry things or drive you around or open doors for you. All things that seem chivalrous and might be expected of a “man,” but to Eren they’re just things to do, if that makes sense?

He doesn’t do it because he thinks you’re not capable, nor to be particularly chivalrous. In his head, he’s thinking “I care about them, so obviously, I’m going to help them out.”

Fight — Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

Disagreements may happen because Eren is very vocal about his opinions on things. That doesn’t mean that he’s not open to change, but you might find out you don’t agree to many things because he’ll voice his opinion on them.

Whenever you do argue, he makes the argument a lot worse in his mind than what’s actually going on. He tends to jump the gun a lot and make assumptions that you wouldn’t have gotten to yourself.

He might simmer and wallow in it for a little bit afterwards (especially if he thinks he was right), but after some time he would either see the light himself, have it knocked into him by Armin, or just not want to keep fighting with you. Even if he was right, he doesn’t want to waste time being mad about something that could be easily talked about.

Gratitude — How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

Eren gets very easily flustered when he understands how much thought you put into things about/for him. Especially gifts—because he couldn’t fathom the idea of someone getting something tailored to him.

So, he’s very grateful. He almost thinks he’s undeserving of you and your affections to a certain point. Especially in moments when he’s hyperaware of just how much he means to you.

Honesty — Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

He might have personal secrets and insecurities he doesn’t voice often because they can be hard to reckon with himself; but nothing scandalous that he’s keeping hidden.

He’s kind of an oversharer to be honest lolol. He doesn’t keep the things he’s doing/has done to himself, and is more than willing to tell you about his day, or his plans, or just anything.

If it’s something serious, he might sit on it for a while before coming clean to you, but he would eventually. He would just need the time to figure it out for himself first.

Inspiration — Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

Being in a  long-term relationship has taught Eren so much about how other people see him and his self-worth.

He either didn’t think much of himself as a whole person before; or thought his life and plans were kind of… dispensable to a certain extent. He didn’t necessarily feel like he needed to want anything bigger than himself, or for anyone but himself; but now he knows that that’s a path to fulfillment; and he knows he wants you.

It’s also taught him the importance of expressing himself in words. He was always good at it with actions, and he’s still not the best with his words, but he’s getting there. And it’s now a conscious effort on his part.

Jealousy — Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

He can get jealous easily, but he doesn’t do anything about it a lot of the time. He knows that most of his feelings of jealous are surface level and petty, and he shouldn’t make an argument out of it.

When he gets jealous like that though—of someone maybe coming on to you at a party or a restaurant—the most he does is, like, obnoxiously clear his throat or roll his eyes, or just glare at the offending person. His glare is pretty effective honestly; most of the time it keeps people from approaching in the first place, and they say preventive measures are the best cure.

When you’re both home, he’s extra affectionate, and pouty about how he thinks everyone should just back off because he’s your boyfriend and the best boyfriend for you.

He actually gets a little upset if you don’t get a little bit jealous when people are obviously flirting with him. He would kind of like it if you had a light possessive instinct over him… it might turn him on a bit, too.

Kiss — Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

He is very enthusiastic, and never turns down an opportunity to kiss you. Over time his kisses become more refined; that is more tailored to kissing you and not just kissing someone in general. Practice makes perfect, after all.

He was probably nervous as fuck during the first kiss, but played it off (or at least tried to). Likely very sweet and cautious; a series of small kisses that build up to something a little fuller.

Love Confession — How would they confess to their s/o?

He has a moment of realization. Like, a pretty big one; he either got there himself, or one of his friends said something like “Eren, don’t you… like them?”

When he has that moment, he either sits on it for a very, very, very long time; or just blurts it out at you because he can’t keep it in any more.

If you’re friends before hand, he would consider the possibilities of a relationship with you, but he already knows he likes being around you; and he would probably love being in a relationship with you because of that.

Marriage — Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

It can go either way with him. He could love the idea of marriage—because it’s like hanging out with your very best friend every single day. You get to live together, everybody knows you’re together, and you just get to spend the rest of your lives together. That sounds like a pretty sweet deal to him.

Or he could think it’s kind of a meh idea. He knows he loves you and he knows you love him, he doesn’t see why he would need to host what’s basically an expensive party and ceremony to show all of your close friends that. They should already know. But if you want to get married and have a fancy wedding, who is Eren to deny you that.

He seems like the type to fuck up his proposal a bunch of times and then eventually snap like “Fuck this—I love you, and I want to love you for the rest of my life, please marry me.”

Nicknames — What do they call their s/o?

He calls you “babe” more often than anything else.

When he’s drunk or just wanted to distract/annoy you, he’ll call you something super dramatic and sweet like “my little sugarplum” just to get a reaction out of you.

He has a slight possessive streak, so he also likes to call you his girl.

On Cloud Nine — What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

He expresses his feelings mostly through spending time with you, but also by being your personal hype man. Eren is willing to support you and all of your ambitions, and might cheer a little too loudly for you on the sidelines, but at least you know he cares.

It’s quite obvious that Eren is in love, maybe not necessarily because he has heart eyes; but because he has this focus on improving himself. It would also be obvious in the way he talks about you to his friends and family. He might not even realize how often he slips your name into conversation, or adds tidbits about you when someone says something that reminds him of you.

He talks to his mom about you a lot, and she always has to hold back her little All-Knowing Mom Smirk because her baby is in love and she’s so happy for him. 

PDA — Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss when others are watching?

It’s a complicated dynamic with Eren. He wants everyone to know he has a hot girlfriend, but also doesn’t want people talking about his relationship lmaooo. He’s both reserved and not-shy about it at the same time.

He’s not all that big on PDA, and would never kiss you in front of his friends because he knows he can be easily embarrassed (not embarrassed to be with you, but shy to do those kinds of things in front of his friends and get teased for it). Besides, he wouldn’t want any of his friends making out with their s/o in front of him.

He’ll hold your hand a lot though—but, again, to him, it’s not a conscious act of romance; he’s holding your hand because he wants to and he doesn’t realize that he wants to because he’s craving affection. He’s a little slow on the uptake with his own feelings; but he’s a lot quicker with actions.

He does kind of like it when you kiss him on the cheek, though. And if it’s been a long night of you and his friends hanging out together, he doesn’t mind if you get a little touchy with him when you’re sleepy.

Quirk — Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.

He’s really good at guessing when public transportation is going to come LMAOO. Like, yes, there’s a schedule for it, but he’s scary good at predicting how late/early it’s going to be which minimizes wait times. Eren doesn’t wait for the bus, the bus comes to Eren.

He’s also a pretty good photographer and has an eye for angles, so he’s good at taking pictures for you and of you when you’re out on dates. He’s also good at photographing food, and even though he thinks it’s pointless he’ll still do it for you.

Romance — How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

He’s a balance of cliché and creative—it depends on the occasion.

For things like Valentine’s Day or anniversaries, he’ll probably go the classic, cliché route of getting you flowers and stuffed animals if you’re into that kind of thing.

But when it comes to birthdays, he can get very creative and thinks about your gift for a long time. Again, in his head it’s not romance, it’s just him doing what he thinks is right, but it turns out to be pretty damn romantic.

Support — Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

Of course he believes in you! You helped him believe in himself, so obviously he’s going to want to help you do the same thing and support you while he’s at it.

This is one area where Eren never gets jealous—he always wants you to achieve your goals, and never compares your progress to him. He just wants you to be happy and will do what he can to help.

He gets a little frustrated if he can’t help you at all, but understands that maybe just moral and emotional support might be enough in those situations.

Thrill — Do they need to try out new things to spice up your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

He’s a little (very) unhinged, so he’s always down to try something new. He’s the kind of person who will take you bungee jumping on a date because it’s “fun” and “exciting.” Eren knows no boundaries, so very few things and experiences are off-limits to him.

He would like some kind a routine/established roles, but he’s always down to experiment. If he ends up not liking it, then so be it, but at least he can say he tried.

Understanding — How good to they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

He knows you better than he thinks he does. He thinks about you a lot, especially when it comes to holidays/birthdays/gift giving and can get frustrated when he doesn’t find an answer right away, but he always pulls through in the end.

He kind of expects to know everything about you very quickly, which leads to obvious frustration. But over time, he learns almost everything he wants to know and then some; even if he isn’t the best at showing that he’s retained that information on a daily basis.

He needs someone to be empathetic towards him more than the other way around, but Eren would try hard to put himself in your shoes if you needed him to.

Value — How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

It’s very important to him, dare he say one of his top priorities.

Eren cares about people deeply, and you couldn’t be in a long-term relationship with him without him making you his business. Your relationship is special to him, and he wants to do his best to keep it going.

It might even come at the cost of some of his other obligations/relationships at first because he’s new to balancing life personal life and relationship; but over time he learns to balance things out. You’re still pretty damn high on his priority list, though.

Wild Card — A random fluff head canon.

Takes pictures and videos of you while you’re sleeping or falling asleep, and stitches them all together on your birthday and posts it to his story. Every single year without fail.

Got you both customized matching sneakers and gets stupidly giddy when you both wear them at the same time. He takes a billion pictures when you have them on.

Got you a nameplate anklet with his gamertag on it. Not so fluffy, but he really likes the way it looks on his shoulder 😌

XOXO — Are they ver affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

Absolutely, he’s like an overgrown puppy on two legs, Eren loves to cuddle. He’s all over you, and very weak for any kind of affection when the two of you are alone.

He gets upset if you don’t sit directly next to (or on top of him) when you sit on the couch, and pouts about it before flopping on top of you instead.

His first move when he goes to your place or you come over is to wrap you in a hug, and he doesn’t let go for at least a full minute. And even then, he’ll probably waddle behind you in a back hug for a significant amount of time, or until you’re ready to lay down.

King of giving forehead kisses and bumping his nose against yours before his kisses your lips. He’s a sucker for all of it, no matter how much he plays it off when he’s around his friends.

Yearning — How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

Simple: he will call you as many times as possible so as to make it feel like you never even left.

FaceTime is the most used app in Eren’s phone. If you’re away from him for a period of time, he’ll find any excuse to call you and see you, and he gets extra bold when flirting with you.

He also likes to steal your clothes/jewelry. He might put on one of your necklaces or chains or steal one of your bigger/more oversizes hoodies if you have them. Puts his big ass feet in your house slippers.

He sends you pictures of him in all your stuff too, claiming that if you want them back, then you should come see him to get them.

Zeal — Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind?

He definitely is. In a modern au, again, I’m not sure what kind of great lengths they are to go to, but Eren will fight for you.

Even before you’re together, he’ll show you how dedicated he is to you and wanting to be with you.

Then, I suppose, his loyalty is his greatest display of zeal. Eren lets you know how dedicated he is to you and making your relationship work; and tries to prove it you (and himself a little bit) every day.

nico di angelo relationship and intimacy headcanons

As with all steamy/nsfw works, the characters are aged up to 18+/college era

so

let’s get started ‘,:)

(1.1k words ooooh boy get ready)

Clingy cat boyf

If he’s dating you he already feels really close and comfortable around you

Do not be surprised if he gets really physically affectionate really fast

I’m talking jump your bones after a week of being official

Pun intended

He loves when you kiss his neck

Blushes so easily

Tends to mutter things in italian when he gets overwhelmed 

Which is often

but that doesn’t stop him

Believe me

Okay he’s an old fashioned fella

He still has a lot of internalized dating and courting etiquette rules from the 30’s 

and you’d think it makes him wanna take it slow

But nah son

During the 30’s no one had any goddamn time for taking it slow

Don’t worry about that 

It was also common for soldiers to get gifts like gum, candy, flowers, chocolate, and nylon stockings for girls they liked

Nico subconsciously falls back on this a lot

You end up with a small collection of fuzzy socks

You don’t automatically get the connection, but when you realize how important nylon stockings were in the 30’s because of the shortage, and that he was getting the present day equivalent of that for you

You appreciate your little collection of socks even more

All that being said we can come to two conclusions

His love language (amplified by the whole son of the God of wealth and death thing) is gifts, physical contact, and quality time

Especially with how much mortal danger he and the gang have been in the past few years, he does not want to waste any time, especially if he really likes you

Which he probably does 

Really really likes it when you take off his clothes 

Especially his shirt

That’s up there among his favorite parts

Absolutely an any time any place kinda guy 

Thinks of it exclusively as making love

Finds any new slang or euphemisms hilarious 

You call it banging once and he laughed for like 20 minutes

“So, are we banging or what?”

“Nico?”

“Nico why are you laughing?”

He has a lot of trauma obviously

His problems aren’t magically instantly fixed by you but he’s noticed how drastically your presence helps him feel better 

Can barely sleep if you’re not there

Like he has some of your cologne/perfume on him in case you get separated and can’t sleep next to him

If he does have nightmares 

Which thank gods are getting fewer and further between

A little light making out and netflix can usually solve the problem

Or like

Riding him

That usually works too

The faces he makes are,,,,,,

Very nice,,,,

he’s also very vocal

You one time deleted a happy birthday voice mail from a childhood friend to make room on your phone for an audio recording he sent you

And like be real

If your friend had heard it they would have deleted their message themselves

It takes him a while to get the hang of technology 

As soon as he does

He sends you a voice text

You’re like aww 

So you listen to it 

“Hello, cuore mio…”

Oh shit

Your face got very red

You were really lucky you were alone

Every time you see audio messages from him you know not to listen to them without headphones 

You also try not to listen to them until you’re on your way to somewhere you can be alone with him

There have been a lot of “meet me in the janitor’s closet” texts between the two of you

aLsO play with his hair

You did it once cause some hair fell in his face 

He moaned

“… will you do that again?”

The answer is yes

Yes you will

Write him love letters and his heart will explode

Everything from “thoughts of you get me through the day” to “truly astonished by how much I want you to rail me”

All are super effective 

He absolutely 100% has a locket with a picture of you

He just gazes at it sometimes when he needs a little extra hit of serotonin 

Okay okay we all know a certain Mr. Jackson who is king of surprising you in the shower

Nico is a close second

Honestly you and him probably break the intimacy ice first of any couples in the demisquad

Stamina for dayyyys

Never gets tired???????

Even you find yourself laughing “are you actually hard again?” Way more than you’d expect to

Also expect a lot of…. Private photos and Polaroids

You never would have expected to have a shoebox buried in your closet full of pictures and love letters that are very much not suited for general audiences

Much less three or four

K i n g  of quickies

“Any time, any place” -Nico Di Angelo probably

Likes buying you underwear and lingerie 

A whole lot

He’ll sometimes surprise you with a bunch of shopping bags 

You look through them equally excited every time

You do a little fashion show of all the stuff he got you

You usually don’t make it past three things before they’re on the floor

His kisses are so gentle and tender

They have all the soft fierce passion of Shakespeare plays and jazz vinyls

At one point pretty early on you started to feel bad that he was spending so much money on you 

“Don’t worry, vita Mia, it’s a non issue." 

After you’re done shopping he pulls out a black credit card with gold accents from a bank you don’t recognize

It says "bank of afthonos”, and in a fancy, minimalistic script below, “palladium select”

He sees you looking at the card and a smile plays at the corner of his lips

“Birthday gift from dad,” he answers without you having to ask

Ah

You can tell the cashier wants to roll her eyes, but he always makes a point to tip very generously

He hands her a few big bills and the irritation falls her face 

he holds you close as you leave the store, still a little surprised by everything that had happened in the past five minutes

“Anything else you want?”

You think back to when you two first got together

“I’ve had everything I want for a while now,” you tell him, giving his hand a squeeze

He smiles and presses a kiss to your cheek 

He pulls you into a small family bathroom and locks the door, pulling you close and kissing your neck

“I think we can be a little late to our lunch reservation…”

can i request a fluff alphabet with izuru

sure thing! i don't really know how to write for izuru yet, but this will be good practice!

Izuru Kamukura Fluff Alphabet!

A = Admiration (what do they absolutely adore about you?)

- Izuru thinks you're lovely inside and out, so to put it simple, he loves everything about you. You were able to make him feel love, and he loves you for that.

B = Body (what is their favorite part of your body?)

- Your hair! He likes nuzzling his face in it when he's spooning you.

C = Cuddling (how do they like to cuddle?)

- He'd most likely hold you in his arms and push you to his chest. So spooning, basically. But if you want to hold him, he doesn't object.

D = Dreams - (how do they picture their future with their s/o?)

- Honestly, he probably wouldn't really think of it much, but he'd like to get married. Though he doesn't see the point in them, to be able to call you his wife makes his chest flutter ♡

E = Everything (you are my ____ e.g. my life, my world)

- "You are my sunshine."

F = Family (do they want one? if they do, when?)

- He wouldn't mind having one. He can take care of them easily because he's sort of like the Ultimate Dad and Child Caregiver in a way with his "possess every talent" thing. And plus, a family with you doesn't sound so bad in his head, so he's not opposed to the idea.

G = Gifts (how do they feel about gift giving? what are their habits when it comes to this?)

- He's more of an actions speak louder than words type of guy, so you can bet that most times he'd make the gifts instead of buying them. He wouldn't have any difficulty doing so anyways.

- Though Izuru doesn't think much of the gifts, whenever he sees you smile because of something he gave you makes him want to make more.

H = Holding Hands (when/how do they like to hold hands?)

- He likes holding hands! It's the first form of affection that he's learnt from you and gotten used to. The way your hands fit perfectly into each other's just feels so right.

I = Inspiration - (did you change them somehow, or the other way around?)

- He is able to show more emotion because of you! He's a lot more open and is a bit more empathetic now!

J = Jealousy - (do they get jealous easily? how do they deal with it?)

- It would take a lot for Izuru to get jealous. The few times he DOES get jealous, it's mostly because someone tries pulling some moves on you and you're genuinely oblivious. When those happen, he just pulls you away and tells you bluntly that he was starting to get jealous.

K = Kisses (how do they like to kiss you?)

- He's not used to kisses yet, but he does like giving you hand kisses. He thinks they're sweet and the blush that appears on your face when he does it makes him love doing then even more.

L = Love (how do they show you they love you?)

- He's not the most affectionate, nor is he the best when it comes to words, but he shows you he loves you through simple gestures. May it be cooking for you, giving gifts, or even cleaning.

M = Memory (favorite memory together?)

- His favorite memories consist of him holding you as you try to show him how affectionate gestures work. Those moments are ones where he feels extra fluttery around you ♡

N = Nightmare (what is their worst fear?)

- His worst fear is you leaving him due to him not giving a lot of affection and not telling you he loves you enough.

O = On Cloud Nine (what are they like when they are in love? is it obvious for others? how do they express their feelings?)

- It's not obvious when he likes someone. If people found out you were dating Izuru they'd most likely be like "Wait what Izuru liked you??"

- When he's in love, he shows a lot more concern and worry towards you. He also mentions your name a lot and compliments you instead of calling you boring.

P = Pet Names (what do they like to call you?)

- My Love and Sunshine.

- My love because he loves you! Sunshine is because you're the shining ray of light in his once dark and gloomy life.

Q = Quality Time (how do they like to spend time with you?)

- Reading a book with you by his side. Though he'd get bored of the book after a while, already being able to tell what kind of outcome the book is going to have, having you there with him being invested in the words inked onto the papers makes him feel motivated to continue reading.

R = Romance (how romantic are they? what would they do to make their s/o happy? cliché or rather creative?)

- He's not the most romantic, but that doesn't mean he isn't romantic at all!

- He can be both cliché and creative. It depends on what he thinks you might like.

S = Support - (are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? do they believe in them??

- He's not the most vocal when it comes to voicing his support, but he'd help you achieve your goals! The... Happiness? He's not sure, but the happy feeling in his chest whenever you achieve something that you've been hoping to achieve for a long time is something that he could never get tired of.

- Of course he believes in you! Besides, he'd do anything to help you reach your goals, so he believes you'll accomplish them.

T = Time (how long did it take you to get together?)

- A very long time. Izuru isn't an easy person to read, and he also didn't really think much of confessing as he was not sure what feeling he felt whenever you were around. It took some time for him to realize it was love.

U = Understanding - (how good do they know their partner? are they empathetic?)

- He can read you like an open book. That's how well Izuru knows you.

- He's sort of like, an Ultimate Therapist in a way, so he can show some empathy. He's not the best at showing them, but for you, he'll try.

V = Vaunt (what are they proud of? do they like to show you off?)

- Izuru doesn't see the point in showing you off. I mean, the important thing is that people know you two are dating, right? There's no need to show off.

W = Wild Card - (a random fluff headcanon.)

- Though he acts like he's annoyed by it, Izuru really likes it when you play with his hair.

X = XOXO - (are they very affectionate? do they love to kiss and cuddle?)

- He's not very affectionate, but he is not opposed to giving and receiving affection. Though if he received affection he might not really know what to do at first. It would take a while for him to get used to it.

Y = Yes (how would they propose to you?)

- Has your proposal planned down to a T. He'll bring you to a restaurant and propose there. Then after that, he'd take you for a stroll and just enjoy his time with you.

Z = Zen (what makes them feel calm?)

- Having you there with him calms him. He doesn't know why but your presence is... Soothing. He doesn't want to let you go.

here you go, anon! i hope you enjoyed this. do forgive me if there are any errors in grammar or spelling in this. i'm sort of trying to rush things atm. but not to worry! i'll be editing this later!

stay safe and healthy! don't overwork yourself, eat your meals, and stay hydrated!!

KUROO, AKAASHI AND ATSUMU - TAKE MY HEART WITH YOU.

@luveranime​ wrote : ❝ Heyyy! Could you do one where kuroo and akaashi and atsumu are leaving to another country for volleyball purposes and they have to say goodbye to their s/o?🥺🥺 ❞ A.N :  ❝ Dear reader,  this is my first request and i’m nervous as heck, i’m trying really hard not to scream right now. anywhoopsie! i tried to make these both sad and fluffy because all my posts are kind of angsty and i don’t want to be pinned as a heartbreaker. i had so much fun writing this so thank you so much for requesting, sending lots of love and kisses your way! mwah!  Sincerely yours, Nikki ❞ Genre: Kinda sad, kinda fluffy. Warnings: Bits of crying, mentions of sex but no actual smut (post time-skip for Atsumu).

Kuroo is the type of person who gets emotionally attached slowly, but once he’s attached to you, there’s no going back. His passion is unmatched (yes I may be writing this because he’s a scorpio and so am I), meaning that he will pour every ounce of love he possesses into your relationship.

He loves hard and will always put you before anything else. As a matter of fact, you were the one who had to force him to go abroad to study new volleyball techniques and come back as a better, more experienced player.

It took forever to convince him though. He felt guilty for leaving you behind and as stated before, you come before anything else, including volleyball. (Lucky you, he’s putting his first love after you.)

As much as he is excited to meet new players, learn new ways to be a more efficient middleblocker and discover a new country, his excitation counterbalances with the thought of leaving you. He’s both looking forward and dreading leaving Japan, and you in the process. 

The latter causes him to lack slumber, he has terrible insomnias because his emotions are tearing him apart. Thankfully, you’re here to whisper sweet nothings to him and secure him in your embrace to make him fall back asleep (although, the few nights leading to his departure often result in him squeezing the life out of you when you’re sleeping, send help.)

The atmosphere of the ride to the airport is very close to pure denial. You’re both singing until ripping your vocal cords, his palm has found a permanent place upon your thigh, sometimes he squeezes your flesh to print this sensation into his head because deep down he knows this is the last time he gets to see you and touch you before a long time.

At the airport, you’re the kind of cliché couple to melt into each other’s embrace amidst comforting silence. You both feel like you’re all alone in the airport, like there’s nobody else there.

Your hands grip his Nekoma jacket hard, as if your life was depending on it, but after all, you just needed to keep this feeling with you at all costs- the feeling of your boyfriend’s toned arms around your waist, squeezing you like there’s no tomorrow while you keep your eyes shut.

Kuroo, on the other one hand, runs his digits through your hair in a comforting manner and delivers occasional pecks on the crown of your hair. 

However, you both know it’s time (although you might have been trying to purposefully make Kuroo miss his flight), which results in Kuroo saying “Kitten, I know it’s hard but I have to go now.”, cue your cute self looking at him with pleading eyes. “Don’t give me this look, baby, I hate this as much as you do.”

He envelops your cheeks with both of his gigantic palms and presses one final kiss upon your lips, it’s everything you wanted and represented Kuroo so well- passionate, caring, both soft and rough on the edges. His thumbs wipe away the tears crashing down on your cheeks, once he pulls away due to the lack of oxygen, he doesn’t miss to slap your butt because... Kuroo...

Upon leaving, he puts his Nekoma jacket upon your shoulders while flashing you his toothiest smile : “I’ve always thought you rocked it better than me, kitten.” 

As he makes his way to the main hall, he looks back at you and mouths a very touching “I love you, I’ll be back to you soon.” and blows a kiss your way, you stare at him and squeeze his jacket against your chest, at least you have a new cuddle buddy as a replacement.

Ahh, Akaashi, or as I like to call him: agASHEHHHH.

It’s safe to say that he is the polar opposite of Kuroo regarding display of affection. Love with Akaashi echoes to comfortable silence, but that certainly does not mean he wouldn’t get the moon for you if you asked.

Akaashi becomes unconsciously a bit more distant and a bit more silent the week leading up to his departure. He thinks that gradually separating himself from you will hurt you less once he’s gone, he just wants his absence to cause you as little pain as possible.

You, on the other one hand, get quite frustrated with this semi-silent treatment. He doesn’t come at your place as often, he cuts the conversations short and says he’s too busy with Bokuto-san to hang out with you. 

The truth of the matter is, he’s hurting so much from the inside, and this idea of his is just eating him alive. It eats him alive because you’re away, and he’s the one blocking you off. He absolutely hates the way he’s acting.

Hence why, the day before of his departure, he crashes at your place with takeout, a bouquet of everlasting flowers and all the good stuff to have the perfect movie night.

Needless to say, you’re shocked once you see him and all these things he brought specifically for you. He takes time to carefully explain why he chose to bring you all of this: he ordered this peculiar takeout because it’s your favorite, he got you this bouquet of everlasting flowers so you can have a permanent proof of his love for you and the full ‘movie night’ equipment to light up the mood of this fatidical night.

Although he doesn’t really initiate any kind of affectionate touches, this night is the total opposite- he delivers pecks everywhere on your face, envelops you safely into his embrace, plays with your hair while you’re watching the movie and whispers a few “I love you so much.” in the crook of your neck.

Eventually, you both fall asleep and he carries you bridal style to your bed where you both spend the night together, comforted by each other’s embrace.

Akaashi insisted on going to the airport alone, the will to cause you as little as possible still embedded in his brain. Thus, he leaves you while you’re sleeping and admires you one last time before delivering a sweet peck on your forehead and whispers “I’ll be back before you can say it, dove.”

Once you wake up, you pat the other half of your bed only to realize you’re alone and Akaashi has already left. However, there’s a curious bag next to your bed. As you open it up, you realize it’s filled with Akaashi’s clothing and his signature smell is locked in within the fabric, there are also a bunch of neatly handwritten notes for each day he’s gonna be without you. All of them are reminders of your qualities, how much he loves you and memories of your dates with polaroid pictures.

 Upon seeing all these precious things specially prepared for you, you go back to sleep, hugging his pillow close to your chest with a soft smile on your face, Akaashi’s favorite smile.

Oh well, now this is a wild one.

Dating a professional volleyball has its pros and cons, and needless to say, the biggest disadvantage of dating Atsumu is how often he needs to go abroad to play against a foreign team. 

Now, of course you’re his number one fan and rightfully so and Atsumu asks you to come with him all the time but you can’t just leave your professional life aside, hence why it’s always bittersweet when he has to leave.

However, if it’s bittersweet to you, to Atsumu, it’s the best occasion to tease the hell out of you because you pout every time he brings up the fact he has to travel to another country. Cue the inevitable “Aw, is somebody gonna miss me or what?” and the obvious wink sent your way.

Teasing you is a way to make you crack a smile or laugh, which indirectly makes you forget about his trip for work or at least it makes it less painful because you’ve been laughing so much with your boyfriend. And to Atsumu, it’s the perfect way to capture a few candid pictures of your beautiful grin so he can admire them all once he’s far away from you.

Now, I hate to state the obvious but when I said that Atsumu is a wild one... I meant it. Hence why the night before his departure, he always makes sure to please you in bed and make you scream him name, because God knows when he will be able to do it again and hear such a sinful melody coming out of your mouth.

He does insist on you coming to the airport with him, and there again, he’s a wild one : Atsumu has no shame in making out with you right there, right now in the airport in front of the incredulous looks of the passengers around you.

He won’t hesitate and honestly has no shame regarding public display of affection : open mouthed kisses, trails of kisses left on your neck, a hand adventuring on your derrière, hell, even hickeys if he’s feeling like it.

Atsumu takes pride in leaving a few love bites, it’s a literal physical reminder that even though he’s not here with you, you know who you belong to. And nothing makes him smile more than imagining you staring at your reflection in the mirror once the bruises have healed up.

Nonetheless, the full make out session is broken by none other than the MSBY Black Jackal team’s obvious coughs, you know, a way to say “Hey, lovebirds, we don’t actually want to assist to the creation of a baby live in an airport and we kinda have to go.”

Both you and Atsumu know it’s time to part ways... But not before he plants a series of kisses on your plump lips and whisper a succession of “I love you so much, babygirl” or other “I’m gonna miss you so much, you have no idea”, orrrrr “You drive me crazy, baby.” and eventually the obvious “I can’t wait to make you walk weird for three days straight once I come back, princess.”

Eventually, you wave at Atsumu with a shy grin plastered upon your face, now that everything he said to you has sunk in, in return, he blows an obnoxious kiss your way. 

Once he returns to the team, Kiyoomi keeps his distance, even more so than usual because, I quote, “Do you have any idea of how many bacterias are shared in a kiss, Miya? 80 millions, which gives me 80 millions to stay away from you.” cue Atsumu replying with a smirk “I don’t regret a single one of these bacterias you’re talking about, totally worth it.”

[ohoshi]

I have an ask game for you! Tag your mutuals as members of SVT but not based on their biases. Just based on the vibes you get from them! And tell why 💜💜💜💜💜

HI ANON<33 thank you for sending this it was very fun to do ahdfahgfgh however i think i didn’t do a great job of explaining why these people give off these vibes bc in my mind they just do, and i don’t know all of these people very well so ahgdfahg mayhaps i’m 100% wrong but again they give off those ~vibes

scoups - ro ( @kdongyoung ) you have no idea, she is the sweetest, she is such a leader? she takes care of everyone, makes sure everyone feels included and loved!!!! very smart, does not hesitate to stand up for herself and her friends agdja and i know she’s not exactly a carat on main but she’d make a great kpop leader lol hence she gets cheol<3

jeonghan -  ok but hear me out, chey ( @soonhoonsol ) is funny and nice yk very sweet and considerate, thoughtful, mindful and all the virtues right, she’s a scorpio so she would 500% be attractive to me irl and she is so good with words she’s like this person who is able to bullshit her way to anything :D she’s also very honest so if she’s not interested, you’ll know it

joshua - yza ( @jonghan ) sweet, charming, beautiful, talented, funny, fun to talk to, gentle sexy,,, a whole package deal I AM IN LOVE WITH HER 😍 she’s like this perfect person everyone admires so much

jun - so i took my time with deciding which mutual gives off jun vibes and i know this may come as cliche bc she obvs biases him but - emily ( @iiasha ) her blog radiates off this attractive vibe, she’s SO funny, talks a lot about random things, mayhaps she talks fast too i wouldn’t know, is very cool, has this unique aesthetic ahsdgja pressured™ bc of work? and her art is just  😍 so different and out of this world! 

hoshi - resa ( @yutaslaugh ) ok resa gets hoshi bc she’s the one mutual that gets closes to him and here’s why: she’s this loud and funny hamster on main right, but then when she gets drunk she is very wild and very affectionate and does reckless shit :D also she is breathtakingly beautiful and i am whipped for her visuals (just as i am whipped for hoshi so that’s another similarity)

wonwoo - belle ( @gotseventeens ) i agree with everything yza said idk them very well but again, they radiate off these cool unbothered wonwoo vibes lol, very funny, lowkey savage ahdga idk they came first to mind when i thought of wonwoo

woozi - carrie ( @art-hao ) again agreeing with yza, very smart, talented, knows what she’s doing! yk how woozi is the vocal unit leader, well she is the graphic design leader, things she makes are top tier high quality, also highkey savage lol

dk - BELLE ( @xuseokgyu ) so like i know she may not be as loud and chaotic as dk? but like she is SO WARM AND SWEET oh my god as warm and kind as dk is ahgdajahdhs she’s also very hardworking i’d say and she wants everything to be perfect? yeah big dk energy

mingyu - nele ( @seohoshi ) once again i am unable to explain agshdha but like she’s this attractive v popular blog ahgdhajs yk everyone loves her, she’s so sweet and welcoming AND FUN, also i get big clumsy puppy energy from her idk why<3 ily nele ♥

minghao - anna!!! ( @haniehae ) so like anna is this cool person (also lowkey intimidating), she’s so artsy and her moodboard ideas are just AGDHJdja (esp the tmi series yeah i’ll never shut up about it) also anna is a dancer and while i never saw her dance i don’t even doubt she’s as cool as hao 😏 she’s very nice like hao yk how kind and nice and lovable hao is? yeah anna too

seungkwan - alex ( @stepmom ) again unable to explain this,,,,,,,,, alex came to mind first bc he’s very funny, wild and savage, LOVES ggs and takes shit from no one,,, big seungkwan energy

vernon - oona ( @vernons ) like the cillest person in the fandom lmao

dino - lee ( @uriboogyu ) just the wild maknae :D

[nobody-knose--archive]

finally got around to listening to sketches 3d today and man! man! oh boy! liveblog under the cut!

-piano. exactly what i was expecting

-vibrato huh

-ayyy that's some. funky percussion

-this is like the fullerenes or something. a song about an Interesting Lady

-and there's that one grainy string synth/sample that andrew uses a lot & also appears in hawaii part ii

-more percussion. this is so cool

-i wasn't expecting this to be quite so minor key

-man if that was courtney on the flute there i think that'd be sick

-sing it andrew!

-i'm already having a more cheery time than i did with nat

-zubin???

-i will absolutely have to review that voice

-wait what the fuck is happening to her

-darling you good?

-anyway. classic andrew horowitz funky out-of-tune synths

-rattle rattle

-more out of tune piano. what song is this

-oh shit!!! this is the song my friends like

-tambourine <3

-you & me? sides of a coin? good & evil?

-so weird hearing all these lyrics i've seen in the song channel sung aloud for real

-andrew is doing some good singing here. he's good at carrying the melody on his own even though i've not heard much of that from him in the past save fate of the stars maybe

-he's always been good at that percussion

-all different types of percussion. tinny little gong like it's the whole world & you acoustic

-tambourine <3 <3

-so incredibly weird knowing what the lyrics are going to be without knowing what the song sounds like. i know how these words go in order but don't know how the melody carries them

-interesting thing about sketches so far. it's very strong & powerful but it doesn't block out the world like other new songs will. i'm not being taken somewhere else it's more like the whole rest of the world is being highlighted

-alright what's next?

-7/4 hummingbird????? or is this 6/4???

-no no no it's 5/4 and doing funky things with the onbeat i love this

-asking questions to a little creature is the best kind of pasttime and i mean that

-man andrew mixed this really well he's just. incredible at that

-he's making each song distnict while also giving sketches a clear theme

-a minor turn. i like that

-now what could this be?

-not lemons & pears yet?

-daisy fingers hell yes

-another song about a lady

-spoke mostly harmony oh you clever man

-thank you andrew for doing more with time signatures than tally hall ever did. first 5/4 and now 6/8

-the combination of very out of tune & rough percussions and incredibly beep bloopy synths is so cool

-conversations with a lady. this feels like a story of andrew visiting another world and being like "might as well write some songs about the fellows and stories round here"

-the whole album, i mean

-i am inspired by you, andrew

-this whole album is everything i could've hoped for and more

-the interesting thing about it is how few questions i find myself asking. i'm just looking at this stuff i have and being like wow! &, cool! not what i usually do with new albums

-divine inspiration bay be

-that's like. the opposite of an 80s fadeout

-oh that is absolutely the little sfx from the beginning of perfect at the end

-wait speaking of at the end

-no this is have a nice day interludinal

-is this a polyrhythm? there's a 4/4 type thing in the background and the foreground is. not on the onbeat i can say that much

-man i am going to have a nice day

-he's a good musician, able to make so much music out of a single interval

-lemons & pears!!!!

-toy orchestra my beloved that's the fuckin toy piano bay be wooooo

-but man oh boy does this sound absolutely different with only a one single guy singing

-ukulele in the bg? toy orchestra <3

-interesting being able to actually hear like. all of the lyrics for real

-some of the little riffs are gone and there are quite a many more

-hello?

-oh okay

-yeah i heard about the fucking gunshots that doesn't mean i was prepared for them

-the chorus sounds so nice i love this

-guest vocals?????????? whomst????????????

-who is this lady i'm so curious is she from the old toy orchestra? that'd be amazing

-breakdown time and it sounds so similar to the toy orchestra one. man

-at the end is. not the end of the album

-i think the thing that's getting me and not prompting as many questions is the fact that like. i hear these songs and hear tally hall songs. andrew's singing & i could hear this on a tally hall album with ease. it's strange

-i think the hi-hat and other little bits in this song, for example, reminds me of ross

-andrew's always tried hard at rock, and percussion is a massive part of that-wait he's scat singing i can finish that thought later i love this

-his songs are also very easy to sing along to without meaning to. first time hearing them and here i go

-anyway percussion is a massive part of rock, andy's always had an affinity for percussion, i think that's what's making me think of tally hall so much, or at least be. comfortably experiencing this in the same way i would a tally hall album

-i can't say the same of hawaii part ii

-if there's anywhere that lists the credits somewhere i'd like to see if ross worked on this at all but. i'm pretty sure he didn't

-where am i-oh shit a crowd

-nowhere else this is a song i think i know nothing about

-all that shit i was saying about rock percussion and now there's a whole entire drumkit going here

-alrighty

-that is not only andrew singing! again! who are you

-.....casey shea?????

-you sound like casey shea sir??????

-you are either casey shea or someone else who sounds like a beatle (affectionate, instead of derogatory)

-good guitar shit

-is that a third voice or does andrew just sound like that?

-madi diaz???

-i'm probably just guessing her because of the rendezvous but. there's gotta be someone more

-a whole lot of love going on here and i do appreciate it

-is it 80's fadeout time now? hell yeah

-oh yes the rainbow connection! a cover and the final song of the album (not counting the bonus tracks, which i will be listening to)

-i think i may have heard this before? or at least the minor rendition

-stylophone?

-humming. classic move

-theremin??

-music box is also cool. i swear i won't just be commentating on the instrumence alright

-what on earth is this sample in the background. steadily getting louder

-man andrew is a great singer. the consistent double vocals/heavy vibrato suits him well

-i will assume these are samples from like. the muppets movie

-does sketches (3d or otherwise) have a pdf like hwptii & nat? i sure hope so because i will enjoy looking at it

-vocalizing again let's a go

-more gong wahoo

-bonus track time <3

-tomorrow & today is a song i know pretty damn well i hope he's more legible now

-mostly the same as the 2011 version but it certainly is updated i can tell. more echo on these beginning lines

-piano is stronger. there may or may not be some added flairs. not a whole lot blatantly changed but i can say. i'll remove the 2011 version and replace it with this one for charlie

-there's a riff in my right ear that i don't remember and i like it

-this bit right here is more legible in general thank god it was incomprehensible originally

-the stomping percussion is Goin places

-and to end the whole song- you know yesterday fueled by a listen of nat i came up with an abundance of thoughts on writing styles in tally hall and especially how andrew's songs go places and what the journey's like and while that essay really won't fit into this liveblog i really enjoy how tomorrow & today has no destination in mind and it's a gradual trip but you never look back

-such strong g&e vibes

-misfortune bay be! time to replace the other misfortune charlie has with this

-sheet music???? jenny where did you find this? [referring to the image used in the video she uploaded i listened to] also this is still not the whole song i know the original misfortune wasn't but it feels strange to start this far into the song

-chords my beloved i could fucking play this song i'm so hyped about that

-toy orchestra solid soda real <3

-the one and only studio recording toy orchestra did. this is some of the best evidence for steve gallagher's voice we have

-also the audio is higher quality than the yt upload i think

-oh a casio organ not a real organ. okay i can't complain

-i like the sound of the piano at least. also this is horrendously gorey i like it

-andrew horowitz horror writer extraordinaire

-these sound like the sorts of drum synths my electric organ has

-i actually can't tell if that one's a guest vocal or andrew just being a very very good singer

-this sounds like some sort of recording you'd take of your kid's music school performance

-oh it's over

-fuck that was good

bunch o‘ quizzes

(via @cowboyjinbop​​​ ♡)

1. What are your best qualities?

you're charming, generous and wise.

you always seem to know what to say. people admire the ease with which you seem to navigate your life. maybe a few jealous ones even despise you for it. but your strength is your independency. whether the entire world is falling at your feet or not, you don't let your ability to learn and move forward be affected by them. it's admirable how much wisdom you give away for free, how nice and charming you remain even if others refuse to treat you the same and how you navigate life. i hope you know how much you're looked up to. and i also hope that you have someone to lean onto at times. however strong you might be, you weren't made to carry the weight of it all on your own.

2.  which btscore aesthetic are you? 1.0 (refer to top of this post hehe)

3. which member would you vibe with? (also tagged by @calicooky​​​ ♡)

Jimin is a true lover and maybe a bit of a people pleaser, but he has found a perfect balance for nurturing himself as well as others. He's magnetic and bright, and by getting him as a result perhaps means you are as well--don't forget to give yourself that credit. If you have an affectionate nature like Jimin, you bring a lot of comfort to those around you.

4. which btscore aes are you? 2.0 (refer to top of this post again)

+ What’s your go to, must listen to once a day (or week), song by BTS?

OT7 Track: black swan, autumn leaves, home, 2! 3!, just one day--SO MANY 

Vocal Line: house of cards (either ver.), love is not over, dimple, 00:00

Rap Line: ddaeng, outro: tear, tbh all the cyphers (esp. if i need to wake up driving to work lmao)

Multi Member: friends (vmin), a brand new day (vhope), all night (namgi), who (jikook- I WON’T LET THIS SONG DIE), and fly to my room (yoon/seok/min/tae)

Vocal Solo: serendipity, promise, stigma, my time, awake, epiphany

Rap Solo: just dance, trivia: love, interlude: shadow, 28, seoul

-

rules: post your lock screen, the last song you listened to, and the last photo you took! (via @jiminswn​​ ♡)

-

which bts member is similar to you? (via @taee​​ & @loverjimin​​​ ♡)

you got namjoon! you're a healer. you learn from your past mistakes, and you're not scared to apologize. your aura is an enchanting shade of emerald green, which makes you an enthusiastic, balanced person. you're very passionate about your hobbies, and just like joonie, you're very much amazed by the little miracles that happen in nature. you're a simple, genuine creature, and you're immensely smart. you remind me of the feeling of finally coming home, of knitting a scarf for a friend, of steamy cups of coffee. i envy whoever gets to hang out with you.

THE END

the rest are visual tags that i’ll get to eventually!! (i.e. moodboards, gif challenges, etc.) 

[thirstybtsthoughts]

Bunny!! I need to share a thougth that has been on my mind for quite a lot now. I mean, I’m sorry in advance because it’s a “queer idea” and I noticed your blog is hetero prevalent (I don’t wanna pick a fight I swear!!). I’ve always enjoyed your blog, anons and discussion so I hope I can share this: the ultimate gay ranking 😂 bear with me lol we’re in the “what if” realm.

Joon - Top (who can enjoy some bottom quality time with the right partner, someone very gentle and affectionate, most likely if in a steady relationship)

Seokjin - Versatile (this boy can love and be loved he doesn’t give a f***. Rough? Check? Love making? Check. Playful? Check. He doesn’t skip a beat)

Yoongi - True switch (he gets it and he gives is like a maniac 😏, I mean with that tongue of his??! He can do everything he wants and always get a “thanks” afterwards)

Hobi - Versatile (he fucks you into oblivion with sweet words and gentleness and care but he’s always up for a good ride into the sunset)

Jimin - True powerbottom (I mean come on. he’s Jimin we’re talking about. The definition of sex on legs that takes everything from you, even you soul. So he’s in charge and he takes whaterever he wants)

Tae - Pure top (old good Tae will sex-stomp you while being very vocal about. He grunts and groans, and huffs and moans and I’ve lost my mind imagining it)

JK - Versatile (I’ve always imagined JK being “about the mood” so he doesn’t really care of the “how” but will give everything he has depending of the moment he’s living. From 0 to 100 this boy can do and bear everything.

Any thoughts? 🥺

Hi! Yeah this is something I wouldn’t normally think about and no one’s ever properly talked about it here. I know that there are ofcourse many male fans who would think about it. Alot 😏😏. And I am nothing if not inclusive 😁. 

So, after reading your thoughts, I must say I kinda agree with most of these. I would only have slightly differing opinions on Hobi and Jimin, I see Hobi being more of a Top, I just can’t imagine him wanting to bottom very much. And Jimin, yes mostly powerbottom, but with a hint of versatile because that top in him will want to take over completely in some moments 😁

Happy Birthday~

Happy birthday to my dear and close friend @giogio-gucci-gangstar​ , who, despite the distance, is always here for me.

 I am very proud and love you a lot.

Here is my small gift to you.

Kira celebrating his s/o birthday.

~ He starts preparing to celebrate your birthday way ahead to make sure that everything is perfect. While he does not have much experience, his knows what you prefer and like, so expect his execution to be absolutely perfect. However, with decorations it is a different idea. Somehow, Killer Queen will absolutely suggest and press on to try and order cat-themed decorations. Everything from balloons to fluffy pillows will be somehow related to cats. And while Kira explains that he did not really have a choice, inside he is kind of fascinated by the sheer amount of cat vibe that he and KQ created

~ Being the perfect in almost everything, Yoshikage would absolutely prepare the delicious dinner himself, going as far as to bake a cake or any of your favourite desserts. Prepare for a full course, together with high-quality beverage and romantic atmosphere. Although Kira himself is not the most romantic person and is rather awkward when it comes to feelings, he will research thoroughly on different date ideas, cooking recipes.

~ Killer Queen is his right hand, although a quite disastrous one. Despite being Kira’s stand, KQ seems to have a personality on their own, being more interested and fascinated by everything around. Killer Queen resembles more of a cat when feeling relax than a dangerous stand. All the cute and rather corny ideas are absolutely being suggested by KQ, adding sweetness to the romantic evening.

~ Kira would try to make sure that you won’t be at home before everything is ready. For example, sending you to a spa for a couple of hours, to make sure that you had started your day in the best way while he and KQ are preparing the warm evening. Yoshikage, of course, will finish everything on time if not before, now dressing up to be presented in the best light before you. However, he did also give you some time to prepare yourself so you could dress up if you wish for so. No matter your decision, his eyes are on you, while a small blush is coming his usually pale cheeks

~ He prefers staying home for the night instead of going out, making an excuse to wanting you to himself all alone, as cheesy as it might be. Expect him to surprise you with a slow dance with a song carefully chosen with lyrics that somewhat describe your relationship or his feelings for you. While he is not vocal about his emotions, small gestures let themselves know that he truly cares. That evening he would be more open, not even making any reasons or excuses for bringing you closer, caressing your sides or being so open to affection.

~ Killer Queen, on the other side, is more emotional and vocal, manifesting before you and cuddling closer as now the three of you enjoy the evening. KQ is eager to show you all the decoration they chose, making sure to be closer to you. Upon hearing Killer Queen purr, Kira’s eyes widen a little, feeling slightly embarrassed at such open showcase of emotions. However, he does not forcefully drive KQ away, instead letting you three relax. Killer Queen will leave and their own at some point anyway, giving you two privacy.

~ Kira is all about being affectionate, making sure that you feel happy and truly loved that evening. He is a bit worried as you try his food. However, after you praise his cooking skills, Kira let’s out a sign of relief, even feeling a little bit cocky about it, saying it is not a big deal and he managed perfectly (despite worrying for the majority of the day). He becomes even more at ease after you compliment his dessert. Expect another kind of dessert later as Yoshikage is now feeling very cocky and ready to proceed further and enjoyed the night as well.

[karasuno-writings]

Hey! I've recently stumbled across your blog and I was wondering if you could do head canons for Kageyama, Kuroo and Tsukkishima with a chubby s/o who's insecure about their body and how the boys would help them with it. It's totally fine if you're too busy too :))) Tysm~

hi!!! headcanons for tsukishima, hinata and kageyama (seperate) with a chubby s/o! thanks 🥺

hello, i love your writing on this blog!!!! can i please request headcanons for suga, hinata, kruoo and terushima with a chubby s/o? thank you :D

Hi lovelies!! So!! I had these other requests on my ask box since a while ago! So I decided to do them all together since they are really really similar!! Since only one asked me to tackle insecurity I’ll add them to all but with a slight separation in case anyone wants to skip that! Thank you all so much for requesting and I hope these are fine!!

Thank you for the request!!

These took waaaaay longer than expected oh my, I hope they are enjoyable and fine!! Sorry for the lack of activity and all too, it’s been a harsh few days and I don’t even know why? And the only person who knows how to help me cope is gone so yeah, but don’t worry!! I’ll be answering your stuff!!! Love you all!!

____________________________________

Hinata

He did not think much about it at all, honestly? Not something that crossed his mind until it was pointed out by you.Baby is confused, what does it have to do with anything? You are amazing and he loves you because you are you and of course you are all beauty and take his breath away.

Your hugs and cuddles? The best thing, he loves wrapping his arms around you and just leaning on you, you give the best hugs

He also loves sleeping while leaning on you, he does it mostly on accident because honestly you are so nice to lean on and such a great partner to cuddle

He is really affectionate with you, he is always there to cheer you up, he presses kisses all over your body if you ever let him. 

If anyone dares to say anything about you he will stop for a second and just look at them with that psycho look the baby does when he tries to be intimidating, it always works. He might be small but he is ready to throw hands for you

Insecure?:

It might be a little hard for him to notice straight away when you are feeling insecure, he is very disperse and really not one to make harsh assumptions if there is no real reason to, so it's not your attitude that tells you off, is your words. You don’t need to tell him, but how you speak and what you might say is how he notices.

Once he notices his eyes just go big and your hands are in his right that second, and he has this absolutely adorable look right that second, his eyes are so tender as he looks at you. Then he goes on rambling about how perfect you are.

This baby cannot lie, he genuinely loves you so much and he constantly reminds you all the reasons why he does so. He reminds you of all your qualities and how if he is with you it is because you are the most awesome partner out there. 

He also tells you how beautiful you are to him and if you let him he will plant kisses all over your face, telling how much he loves you after every kiss.

He makes the best to make you feel cute and comfortable with yourself because he wants you to be happy.

Kageyama:

If someone does not give a single damn about appearance it is Kageyama. He really does not care for looks, sure, you take his breath away and honestly he adores you, but it is not why he fell for you. 

It is not that he does not think you are pretty, you take his breath away quite often. But it is rather that he is more attracted by how you carry yourself, by how you go around on your day to day. You are looking at something you like with excitement in your eyes? Adorable and perfect. 

When the two of you started dating he however payed more attention to your appearance, he loved your eyes, your smile and he loved you overall, he could see no wrong in you.

When you two are alone he loves to cuddle you, he traces his fingers up and down your skin, on your arms, your back and almost everywhere. 

He also knows how to perfectly work with his hands, he will massage you if you allow it.

The first time he hears a bad comment about your appearance his first reaction is true pure confusion. Why would anyone think that? However, soon the confusion is done for and his face immediately darkens, he is creeping up behind the person and while he is not good with words he tells them off. Lets just say that people know better than to say bad things about you because he will kill a bitch. 

Insecure?: 

He is thick headed, he is so damn oblivious to everything it is even adorable, sadly this means he probably will not notice when you are insecure. He just can’t think how you cannot love yourself considering who you are, he acknowledges your flaws, but your appearance? It is perfect for him

However the second you mention it he frowns, he looks slightly mad; the second he turns at you his face turns tender, and he has this almost sweet look. He loves you and it saddens him that you can sometimes forget how incredible you truly are. 

He is not very outspoken with how he feels; he would show it rather than say it, but as he knows you are insecure he will try with all his might to not leave his thoughts about you as just thoughts. This is what makes it most genuine; when he sees you and thinks you look pretty he will say it; at first it will be hard for him, but he will try because he cares for you. 

He will hold you so tight and tell you how he sees not wrong in you. The way he touches you, so fragile and with such love conveys how he feels about you. He will softly kiss your hands.

His eyes are really expressive too, so if you know how to read him you will see the looks of adoration he sends you.

Again, he will not hesitate to go and intimidate anyone who makes you feel insecure.

Tsukishima 

If you are dating him it means he trusts you, you won your way into his heart and it was not only because he found you cute, it was because of who you are as a person, because of your sincerity and your personality traits. 

This means that no matter what he is loyal to you, he is staying by your side unless you break his trust or do something stupid, but he knows that you won’t. He opened up for you for a reason and your appearance, while attractive to him, could matter less. 

He is secretly a cuddler, when it's just the two of you he will lazily cling to you, and he finds you so comfortable, it is sweet. It is a good contrast to his lanky self, honestly he finds you really comforting. 

He also presses his lips against your skin, not so much as kissing you, but more of a touching you, it’s just a sweet way of his.

He is high fashion and he knows exactly what suits you the best in color and all, so his gifts always end up perfect for you, he makes sure you like it before really giving you anything. 

He really does love you, he is not very vocal but he shows it through action. He stares at you a lot, he adores how you look, he doesn't care if you catch him staring and will give you a cheeky grin as to tease you. 

Boy, if he hears even a slight bad word towards you it is on, he will not hold his tongue back and we know he has a harsh way with words. There will be no survivors.

Insecure?:

He is very observant so he notices your insecurity because of your actions, if there is a shift on your normal attitude he will notice, he will ask before making any assumptions.Once he knows it is because of you appearance he will understand that you might feel insecure due to stupid societies expectations, and he is a little mad, how could you think low of yourself when you are so wonderful?

“You should not think such things of yourself, that’s dumb” He is terrible at this and at first it may come off as if he was angry at you. However he notices this right away that he was harsh and might have just made things worse. he grabs your arm and looks at you, his eyes softening and a small sight escaping his lips.

“You are beautiful you know?” “Don’t compare yourself to others, you’d only put them to shame.” He compliments you in such a sincere way after that, his own style, but a true heartfelt compliment nevertheless. He just really loves you and wants you to love yourself too. 

He makes a mental note to remind you more often of what he thinks about you, how you take his breath away. It is rather hard if he forces himself; but if he thinks you look beautiful in an outfit you are wearing he will tell you, or whenever the thought crosses his mind and it feels genuine to him. You know he would only say it if he thinks so so you know it is true.

He will start thinking more about what he says, had he been so dumb as to say anything that might have hurt you? He becomes worried that he has, so he becomes mindful of what he says, don’t expect him to stop bantering tho he will mock you as much as before. He actually starts thinking whenever he says anything about anyone's appearance and stops his mockery on that aspect towards his teammates. 

Kisses the top of your head when its just the two of you; “You have no reason to think you are anything other than perfect”

Kuroo

This boy reminds you of how much he loves you in different ways, through his actions, his affection, and honestly? He just falls for you more every time he sees you.

He loves hugging you, he is really big on cuddles, so whether he be having his arms lazily around you or engulfing you in a hug he will absolutely love every second of it. 

Lazy days with him are the best, he loves laying his hair on your lap and having you play with his hair. 

He loves pressing soft kisses to your cheeks and honestly everywhere, specially if it makes you laugh, he loves to hear that. 

He pampers you a lot, lazy days are your favorite because they are filled with your favorite movies, baths together, tender touches, reading afternoons and videogames or other stuff you like.

He also loves showing you off, he is proud of having you as his partner and while he is not over the top with PDA he enjoys holding your hand and pressing kisses to your forehead. He likes taking you places and to hang with his friends. 

Any mean comments towards you? You do not only have him getting all serious with the person, but the whole team of Nekoma too, it is pretty adorable for you. He loves you and will not stand mean people, specially if they mess with you.

Insecure?:

He is also very good at reading people so he knows when you are insecure, the way you act around him is very prominent to him so the second you feel insecure and slightly uncomfortable he grabs your hands and rubs his thumbs to it, so he can ask what is wrong.

He is one to believe communication is the most important thing in a relationship, so he wants you to talk to him about how you feel and why. He listens with all his attention on you and when you finish he kisses you softly.

He reminds you of what makes him love you, of all those things that make you absolutely perfect to him, that he thinks you are amazing and beautiful. He does not hold back on his words, however he will not make anything up, the things he tells you is what he really thinks.

 He has such a way with words and he can be really poetic, telling you sweet things out of the blue, almost in a poem-like manner.

He digs deeper to know what makes you feel better, whether it be cuddles, details or dates, he always remembers what helps the most to make you feel loved. 

Suga

You are his love, the light on his eyes and you make him smile wider than anybody else ever had, he is smitten by you. 

If he loves you it is because of your looks and personality, he fell for you because of who you are and would do so a 1000 times more.

He is the biggest cuddle bug of the bunch, he will cuddle all day every day if you let him  and he loves it so much, he will just talk hours on end with you, his hands tracing figures and letters on your skin softly.

You are now mother of the whole team of Karasuno, I’m sorry you just adopted them all. Suga constantly invites you to practices to watch them and is more than glad to have you around whenever you want.

He is starry eyes with you, whenever you two are going on a date he has flowers and behind them when he sees you it is possible for you to see his face in awe behind them. He just approaches you to kiss your cheek and tell you how much he loves you.

He likes kissing your neck, just in a soft and tender way that leaves the aftertaste of his lips on your skin. 

If anybody is mean to you this baby will have a smile on his face while he becomes the most passive aggressive little shit ever; not only that but the third years will back him up. Everyone knows he will protect you on sight. 

Insecure?:

He knows you are insecure by how you talk to him, but he let’s you know he’d rather have you tell him so he can hold back from any assumptions. 

When he notices this his smile falters and its replaced by a soft one, his face is buried in your neck and he is kissing you lightly, after each kiss he will say things he loves about you.

He will hold you close and just remind you of how amazing you are and how he is proud of you and he loves you.

He will take you out to distract you, it always works to get you in the best mood and make you happy, he will pamper you with gifts and compliments. 

Terushima:

 He honestly thinks you are the cutest, this baby is ecstatic every time he sees you, catch him running towards you the moment he looks at you walking by. He hugs you tight and god hopes he does not tackle you 

He is so creative on dates, he always comes up with things the two of you will enjoy, he loves holding your hand every time the two of you go anywhere outside. 

You calm him down, wrap your arms around him and press soft kisses and he melts, you make him relax so much he just then buries onto you...that is until he shifts position every five minutes

He loves to kiss your cheeks and blow raspberries on them, he loves to make you laugh and very much like Kuroo will try to hear that sound he just loves.

He adores you and will tell you how amazing and great and beautiful you are every single day, he is very vocal with his love. 

He is not great at being intimidating or mean but boy will he try with all his might to stand up for you because he loves you.

Insecure?:

It might take him a while to notice how you are feeling and once he does he is a bit confused because he really sees no reason for you to feel like that. However he respects that you do and asks you to tell him why is it.

He is surprisingly a good listener; granted, he sometimes chooses not to acknowledge or act on what he listened; but with you it is never the case, he now knows why you feel like you do. He then hugs you and showers you with kisses.

He explains to you why you are amazing and why you should feel as incredible as you truly are, his arm movements are wide and he is really passionate on making you happy

If that does not works he will distract you and pretty much like suga take you to do things you like. 

Leaves cute notes for you all around your things, all of them highlighting everything he loves about you.

After me comes the flood

christmas gift for my dear friend @baronetcoins. love you bud, and merry christmas ✨

[set in an AU where their Awoken Hunter, Ayin, came in time to save Cayde during Forsaken, but not his Ghost.]

Ayin paces outside the hangar like a cabal warhound waiting for its beastmaster to cry havoc. The City has been long emptied by the late hour. She’s thankful for it. There is no one here but the Traveler to witness her agitation, the way Light bleeds out of her in fiery sparks trailing down her fingers. She hasn’t had such a weak grasp on her Light for years — not since she was a kinderguardian — but tonight she doesn’t care to control it.

She’s not supposed to be here. In fairness no one’s supposed to be anywhere but in bed at this hour, but she in particular was meant to be out of the City two hours ago, bound for Europa on a mission with her team. 

Something came up.

Something is yet another group of Guardians in the Crucible encasing their opponents in ice coffins. Something is the Kinderguardian she met earlier, who turned to stasis out of curiosity. Something is the complete silence from the Vanguard while the protectors of the City collude with the Darkness.

If they won’t do anything about this, then it’s her duty to convince them… before she does it herself.

Resolution renewed, she strides into the hangar.

It’s empty as expected, mechanics and engineers gone to catch some shut-eye as ship traffic slows for the night. The only source of movement left is the flicker of an old camping light propped up on Holliday’s workbench. Cayde is bent over it, grumbling over some piece of intel or other. Every so often he’ll shift and obscure the feeble light, casting his long shadow over the floor.

She clears her throat lest she catches a knife in the throat. He gets jumpy without Sundance warning him of approaching people.

Cayde whirls around, lifts a hand to his chest as if to still a beating heart he doesn’t, technically, have. “Oh,” he says, relaxing. “It’s you. Hi!”

“Waiting for someone else?”

“Kind of expecting Ikora to come drag me to bed, actually.” He turns to fully  face her and folds his arms with a tired sigh. “Lemme tell you, if you’d told me during her Crucible days that she’d be such a mother hen I’d have called you mad.”

Ayin is hardly prone to mothering anyone, let alone Cayde, but even she can’t deny the spark of concern igniting inside her at the sight of him. His eyes are dim with exhaustion, whatever machinery that keeps him alive running on a third of the power it needs. But more than that he looks weary. Havy. There’s something weighing him down that wasn’t there before.

(Its name is grief, the same one that hounds his footsteps since the Prison of Elders, taking the space Sundance used to fill. He’s better than he used to be — better at hiding it in the daylight at least. But here, with only her as a witness, he lets the full brunt of it show plain on his face.)

“You look terrible,” she says, because it’s easier than I’m worried about you.

“Thanks,” he replies, only half sarcastic, because it’s easier than putting into words the anger-grief-bittersweetness that comes with pity or concern (both interchangeable). Like so many things, Ayin only knows to notice it because she’s done it herself, learned it from him. “So, what can I do for you, Crusader?”

The nickname is affectionate, an in-joke. It’s also a reminder, though he never means it that way.

“I have…” She pauses, unsure how to bring it up. “Concerns.”

“Concerns?”

“About Guardians using stasis.”

“Aah, that’s what I thought.” 

Cayde chuckles, but his whole demeanor changes as he steels himself for a serious conversation. She’s more familiar than most with the seriousness he hides under his jokey behavior, but it’s always a relief to see him take this so seriously. Even if everyone stopped listening to her, she knows Cayde would always let her say her piece.

“Do you know what I saw in the Crucible today?”

“No?”

“Ice bursting through armor. Tornadoes of hail. Stasis, everywhere. And all Shaxx had to say about it was that it’s a tool. ‘A weapon like any other’. He let it happen, like it’s not the very thing we’ve been fighting against all our lives.” Again she starts to pace, almost against her will. Tension runs through her limbs, fingers curling around the hilt of an imaginary knife. She hates this game of politics, of begging the Vanguard to take action when it would only take a word from them to unleash her on this new enemy. “This can’t go on, Cayde. You — the Vanguard — can’t turn a blind eye this time. The Darkness has already taken Io, Titan, Mercury- and now it’s taking Guardians? It’s not going to stop. Not unless we stop it. And this? This ain’t it.”

Out the corner of her eyes she sees him shift, tilt his head in consideration.

“So, what are you suggesting? That we should ban stasis?”

His sceptical tone makes the spark of righteousness flare. He doesn’t get it— be he will, soon. He has to understand she’s right on this. “Yes, exactly!”

Calmly, almost placating, he replies, “People are gonna try their hands at it whether we allow it or not.”

“But if you forbid it, I can hunt them down for it. Bring them to justice.”

Her voice rings in the heavy silence. For a moment, nothing breaks the silence but her breathing and the soft whirring emitting from Cayde. Then,

“Ayin...”

He sounds nearly pleading, but she can’t allow him to interrupt her. Not yet. She can still convince him, she knows it. He has to see her point. He must. 

Breathing deeply, she tries to leash her enthusiasm lest he mistakes it for fanaticism. 

Without his support, she can’t reach the Vanguard, and without the Vanguard, there’s nothing she can do. She learned that from the new Dredgens, and the Renegade who runs after them. It takes more than a single man to take such widespread evil down. Aying doesn’t have that much time. She needs resources, the space and power to lock up her targets, keep them off the streets. She needs the system on her side.

“It’s our job to keep the people of the City safe. Our duty. How can civilians trust us to do that when any Guardian could be another Dredgen Yor in disguise? How can they trust us, when nothing is done to keep them safe from ourselves? We can’t bother with compromise with so much on the line-”

“Ayin.”

She stops her pacing, turns around, ready to beg for a moment more of his attention—

His eyes stop her in her tracks.

Why does he look so sad?

Cayde holds her stare for a second. His shoulders are tense, betraying his seemingly-relaxed position. He looks just like when he has to announce the loss of one of his Hunters, or when he has to send a fireteam on a mission they’re unlikely to come back from unscathed, if at all. Like the words are stuck in his throat, tangled in the wires.

Eventually he gives up on words altogether — she can see it in the working of his jaw, the way the light behind his teeth dims as his vocal processor goes idle again.

Slowly (like he doesn’t want to do it. Like he’s afraid he’ll spook her) he offers her his hand, palm up. Under her watchful gaze, he shifts his fingers minutely—

And frost blooms over the leather of his glove.

Ayin’s breath freezes in her lungs.

Silence settles over them like the second before thunder. Both stare at the ice crystal suspended over his hand. Ayin with mounting horror, and Cayde as an excuse to avoid her eyes. Then, a flick of his wrist shatters it. The shards turn to fine glittering dust on their way down, and then to nothing, never touching the ground. 

For a moment Ayin is overwhelmed by feelings — shock, betrayal, sadness, fear, burning anger. They tangle together, blades interlocked into a sharp ball of hurt, until all she can feel is an odd sort of numbness. Like she’s been cut open and sedated.

“Why?” She whispers.

His sigh turns into fog, briefly leaving his face as nothing but two burning eyes staring at her through the faint cloud.

“You know why I hate being Vanguard so much?”

Ayin snarls at the non sequitur. 

She’s not usually so prone to losing her temper, but the betrayal lit a fire inside her she doesn’t feel like quenching.

“Is this really about hating your job?” 

She hates the way her voice cracks at the end, but Cayde, mercifully, doesn’t react in any way to it. He just shakes his head, faceplate shifting minutely in frustration like he’s trying to explain something and can’t find the words that will make her listen.

“I wouldn’t- It’s about doing the damn job.” He rubs his head like he has a headache, pushes his hood back as his hand trails down to the back of his neck, resting there for a moment. “You said it was your duty- you know what’s a Hunter's duty? It’s being out there, charting unknown places, going where no one’s gone before, all that jazz. Not being stuck in the City. Being a Vanguard, it means sucking at being a Hunter, and- I’m good at being a Hunter, right?”

He’s got the stereotypical recklessness in spades, that’s for sure. 

Not, that’s unfair. Cayde has a core of steel that won’t let him back down in the face of insurmountable odds. That’s what makes him a good Hunter. Reckless as it may seems, it’s a true quality, one she admires and has always tried to emulate. It only makes her angrier at the powder ice still caught in the folds of his clothes. He should have known better.

Unphased by her lack of response, he continues. 

“Turns out that might not even be true, huh? Told them spending that much time in the Tower would make me go soft.” He does that heartbreaking thing, where he tilts his head slightly like he’s expecting Sundance to appear just over his shoulder with something witty to say. “But- it made me think about it. The whole duty thing. I spent all of my time as a Vanguard doing everything I could to go back in the field like I’d do my job better there- and when it went wrong, I had to reflect on like- my mistakes and stuff. And I thought- maybe I approached the issue the wrong way, you know?”

“You’re not answering my question.”

She’s proud to hear her voice stay level despite her frustration. She wants to trust Cayde, trust that he’ll eventually get to the point and explain to her… What? That it all makes sense? That it’s going to be fine? At this point Ayin’s not sure whether she’d rather hear reassurances or apologies. 

Actually she might punch him if he apologies. He’s made a terrible choice: the only thing worse than this would be that he’s unsure about it himself. And as little as she’s willing to be convinced— she wants to be. She wants, for once, to be proven wrong, to see that stasis isn’t as evil as she assumed.

 Anything that will make Cayde’s use of it more bearable.

“I’m gettin’ to it! What I mean is- Hunters are s’posed to scout ahead. First ones in the field, to gather intel and make sure everyone’s got the info they need to do their job and come back safe. We’re the literal vanguard. And with the Darkness moving into the system- we need that kind of assurance. We need someone to jump into the unknown and tell us how far the bottom is.” 

“Somebody always needs to go first,” Ayin says softly, like muscle memory.

Cayde doesn’t bother finishing the saying. She knows it as well as he does. “I can’t do much without a Ghost, but I can do this. I can be there when Guardians need someone to turn to when their new powers go awry. And… yeah, I can be here when one of them needs to be stopped. That’s good enough for me.”

Ayin crushes the hint of pity that rises in her. It wouldn’t go appreciated: Hunters, as a rule, would sooner die than be pitied. And if she lets herself feel pity then she’ll start to think about it. 

She’ll think about the fact that her best friend, her family, is running out of time.

It’s already a miracle he survived the Prison of Elders. Most ghostless don’t make it an hour past their Ghost’s death. But she was there, and she couldn’t save Sundance, but she could save him, and she did. When the night is dark and she finds herself regretting not being fast enough, she always turns to that thought for comfort: she got him out alive. He won’t be there forever, but at least she has a few decades left with him before he ends up like Banshee and starts forgetting her face.

(If she told him about that fear, she knows the first words out of Cayde’s mouth would be “I’d never forget you”. But he doesn’t get to choose. She’s long given up on hoping for the best.)

And now— now he looks her in the eyes, and he tells her he made the one choice that’s sure to shorten these years they have left. She’s seen what happened to Eramis. She can’t bear to imagine it. The dark ice crawling over his limbs, choking what’s left of his light. 

It breaks her heart. 

Not only because she loves him, and she doesn’t want him to be hurt. But because he made the one choice that could drive her away from him.

Taking in the Darkness, supporting the Guardian who made the same terrible decision, accepting help from the very enemy you seek to destroy. This— this isn’t a mystery that needs to be solved. This isn’t terra incognita that needs to be charted. At least not by them. if anyone should do it it’s one of the Awoken Techeuns, or the Warlocks already banished from the City because of their heretical research. Hell, even Eris could do it. Someone who’s already dipped into the dark and is eager to learn more.

Someone who’s already lost. 

Not the one person Ayin can’t bear to lose.

She swallows past the lump in her throat. She closes her shaking hands into fists. Her heart beats unevenly with anger and grief. She pushes all those useless signals aside, tries to find her way to the rational mindset that earned her the nickname of Crusader.

Don’t think about the implications. About the pain and the loss. Set it all aside. Just like in battle.

A great calm settles in her.

“How… could you.” 

Her voice is nearly as cold as the power she came here to plead against.

“I’m sorry, Ayin, but-”

“Don’t. Apologize,” She grits out through clenched teeth. “You’ve seen what happens to those who use stasis! How could you be so- so stupid?”

His eyes narrow, light dimming ever so slightly. “I’m not an idiot, Ayin. I know what I’m doing.”

There’s an edge to Cayde’s voice this time. A note of warning. 

But Ayin is far past listening to the sirens. She is the warning. The receding of the water before a tidal wave; the purple skies before a hurricane.

“Do you? What is this, then, an overly complicated suicide attempt? I didn’t save your ass in the Prison of Elders so you could throw it away-”

“Throwing it away? There’s more to fighting a war than killing the enemy faster than it can kill you. At least I’m helping people.”

The anger simmering in her guts flares, shattering her artificial calm. Her whole body tenses like it’s getting ready to go for the kill.

“Are you saying I’m not?”

He takes a step forward, gestures toward the Hangar — the damage from the Red War that they never got to repairing, the pictures of Guardians swallowed by the encroaching Darkness they pinned to a wall as a memorial. Proofs of past catastrophes.

“Nothing we’ve done so far managed to stop the Darkness. Maybe stasis will help, maybe it won’t, but we have to try.”

“And risk playing right into their hands?”

“If that’s what it takes to survive, yes!”

“We’re supposed to fight the Darkness, not join-”

“World’s changing, kiddo. We do what we have to do to survive-”

“Don’t. Call me. Kid.”

Cayde is reckless, impulsive, and he doesn’t know when to quit. Dogged determination has gotten him out of problems more often than he can count.

But sometimes, it also means he doesn’t think before he talks, and he says things such as,

“Why should I, when you’re just as naive?”

The silence that follows is a living thing. It stretches until it fills every inch of the space and curls around Ayin, swallowing her as well. It’s like she’s trapped inside of her own body, deaf to anything but the hammering of her heart and the roaring of the fire inside her chest. Her mind is stuck in a loop—

(how dare you how dare you how dare you)

(why would you cut me off like that why why why)

(betrayer)

When she comes back to herself there are sparks slowly dying on her fingers, and Cayde’s pinned against the pillar he was leaning against.

They make an odd tableau, the two of them. Her, hand outstretched, still as a marble statue, and Cayde, stopped mid-movement, his own hand reaching for her as if to apologize again, a knife sticking out of the hood of his cape, inches from his neck.

“Ayin, I didn’t mean-”

Then why did you say it?

She doesn’t voice the thought — doesn’t trust herself to stay calm, to miss the next time a knife slips from her fingers. She flexes her fingers, forces herself to relax, slows her breathing.

He lets his hand drop.

When she leaves, she doesn’t look back, and he doesn’t call for her.

Character Traits Meme - Aria & Vano

I was tagged by the lovely @mercurypilgrim​ (thank you! :D)

I can’t remember who I tagged last time so if I’ve tagged you twice and/or you don’t wanna do it again (or the first time), no pressure as always :D but I shall tag @abyssal-space​ @sentinelapologist​ @thatmmolesbian​ @stratosara​

I did the Sith twins last time, so it’s Aria and Vano’s turn this time! :D

[WEALTH ]

$ Financial : wealthy / moderate / poor / in poverty

(Aria lived hand-to-mouth on the streets for a while during the start of her story, but built it back up after she returned to the Empire. She’s not quite “wealthy” but she did inherit a lot of her father’s things after his death so she’s what I would call “comfortable”.)

✚ Medical : fit / moderate / sickly / disabled / disadvantaged

(Mostly fit, but has extensive scarring from her younger years and some long-term memory damage thanks to a bad glitterstim habit in her younger years.)

✪ Class or Caste : upper / middle / working / transient / slave / unsure

(Was a smuggler for about 5 years after joining up with Merak & Ziri, but after returning to the Sith/Jedi, she worked her way back up again ;))

✔ Education : qualified / unqualified / studying / other

(Graduated from the Sith/Jedi Academy, sooo that counts as qualified right? :P)

✖ Criminal Record : yes, for major crimes / yes, for minor crimes / no / classified

(Uhhhh, yeah. Murdering a lot of Jedi Masters for the Sith, need I say more? She was arrested during the battle of Ilum and spent several years in jail until the first proto-alliance had need of her to help them fight the Revanites. As a show of “good faith” after Yavin, Satele expunges her record and allows her to return to the Sith with Vano, since any further damage Aria could cause has already been done - she’s already been feeding the EmpireJedi intel for years by that point!)

[ FAMILY ]

◒ Children : has a child or children / has no biological children / wants children / has adopted children

(Ziri is SORT OF like an adopted daughter to her. Sort of. But uh, she’s bad with children. Do not leave them with her.)

◑ Relationship with Family : close with sibling(s) / not close with sibling(s) / has no siblings / sibling(s) is deceased

(An only child (though in the Zephyrverse AU(s) she does have several half-siblings on her father’s side!)

◔ Affiliation : orphaned / adopted / disowned / raised by birth parent(s) / not applicable  

(Killed her mother as part of her Sith trials (something that still haunts her), was raised by her father Darth Noctis, but later on as an adult orphaned when Baras’ assassins kill Noctis. Then adopted into Vano’s family after they eventually marry. What a mouthful huh?)

[ TRAITS + TENDENCIES ]

♦ extroverted / introverted / in between

(One of the loudest people you will ever meet, Aria has NO filter and almost NEVER keeps her mouth shut. Vano wishes she would, but she does not XD)

♦ dis-organised / organised / in between

(I would call it “organised chaos”, it might seem a mess to someone else, but it’s organised to her. She never sticks to one plan and is always improvising on the fly, but she’s very good at that!)

♦ closed-minded / open-minded / in between

♦ calm / anxious / in between

(This one was difficult for me to decide...she doesn’t really get anxious or panicked so I decided to go with “calm”, though a more accurate description would simply be “doesn’t give a shit”)

♦ disagreeable / agreeable / in between

(Unless she’s close to you, she’s NASTY. Not someone you want to spend quality time with.)

♦ cautious / reckless / in between

(When it comes to life-or-death, she’s always cautious. She’ll never risk her life for you, unless your name is Vano or Qyzen. But if death is not on the cards, she will absolutely take risks without balking about it.)

♦ patient / impatient / in between

♦ outspoken / reserved / in between

♦ leader / follower / in between

(She’ll follow Vano and the Ahaszaai twins - and her father when he was alive - but otherwise, don’t tell her what to do. She’ll flip the bird at you.)

♦ empathetic / unempathetic / in between

♦ optimistic / pessimistic / in between

♦ traditional / modern / in between

♦ hard-working / lazy / in between

♦ cultured / uncultured  / in between

♦ loyal / disloyal / unknown

(loyal to a select group of people (Vano, Saarai, Ni’kasi, Qyzen, her father), everybody else, you may never know if she’ll help you or put a knife in your back.)

♦ faithful / unfaithful / unknown

(See above)

[ SEXUALITY & ROMANTIC INCLINATION ]

❤ Sexuality : heterosexual / homosexual / bisexual / asexual / pansexual

❥ Sex : sex repulsed / sex neutral / sex favourable / naive and clueless

♥ Romance : romance repulsed / romance neutral / romance favourable / naive and/or inexperienced

(Aria is demiromantic so it takes time for her to build that sort of bond with someone, couple that with her father teaching her from a young age that “loving someone was weakness” means she’s not really given it much time of day. Now that he’s not around to keep pushing that viewpoint and she can learn to be more openly affectionate with Vano, though, she’s starting to try.)

❣ Sexually : adventurous / experienced / naive / inexperienced / curious

(I think this speaks for itself LOL)

⚧ Potential Sexual Partners : male / female / agender / other / none / all

(If it’s human(oid) and it has a pulse, she’ll fuck it. She’s a whore, sir.)

⚧ Potential Romantic Partners : male / female / agender / other / none / all

[ ABILITIES ]

☠ Combat Skills : excellent / good / moderate / poor / none

(I would hope so, she’s been fighting stuff for a good few decades now!)

≡ Literacy Skills : excellent / good / moderate / poor / none

(Her dad was a Darth and he intended for her to take his place one day, he made sure she could do everything she needed to be successful.)

✍ Artistic Skills : excellent / good / moderate / poor / none

(She can dance well enough to not make a fool of herself, and maybe draw some simple things, but not much more than that!)

✂ Technical Skills : excellent / good / moderate / poor / none

(She ran with smugglers. She’s not as good as they are, but Merak and Ziri taught her how to slice and she can make do in a pinch, though she wouldn’t be able to handle like...advanced encryptions and so on.)

[ HABITS ]

☕ Drinking Alcohol : never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

(She’s always loved a good drink. If she’s not working, you’ll find her at a bar somewhere, drinking the other patrons under the table XD)

☁ Smoking : trying to quit / never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

(Not nearly as often as she drinks, but yes.)

✿ Other Narcotics : never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

(Oh boy, oh boy, she did a LOT of stims in her younger years while she was smuggling. Hasn’t touched them for a long time as of re-joining the war(s) proper.)  

✌ Medicinal Drugs: never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

(Previously a lot. Medical stims were a good, quick substitute if she ran out of other things. Since she’s gone clean, though, she won’t touch them now for fear of relapsing if she does.)

☻ Indulgent Food : never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

(If Vano wants to go out to eat, she’ll go with her, but it’s not something Aria herself will specifically suggest.)

$ Splurge Spending : never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

♣ Gambling : never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

(On occasion, if she has time.)

[WEALTH ]

$ Financial : wealthy / moderate / poor / in poverty

(Gal works out, she keeps herself in good condition! :D)

✪ Class or Caste : upper / middle / working / transient / slave / unsure

✔ Education : qualified / unqualified / studying / other

(Graduated from the Sith Academy, so I am once again assuming yes :3)

✖ Criminal Record : yes, for major crimes / yes, for minor crimes / no / classified

[ FAMILY ]

◒ Children : has a child or children / has no biological children / wants children / has adopted children

(Unfortunately for Vano, her wife is not a child-oriented person, so they probably never will. It’s okay though, she’ll find a way to substiturte, probably helps teach younglings at the Enclave or something!)

◑ Relationship with Family : close with sibling(s) / not close with sibling(s) / has no siblings / sibling(s) is deceased

(Vano has a younger brother, Merak, who is my smuggler. While they’re separated for some time, they’re still close - in fact, Merak begins his smuggler career because he wanted to travel the galaxy to try and find Vano again, and he needed money to keep searching so smuggling it was!)

◔ Affiliation : orphaned / adopted / disowned / raised by birth parent(s) / not applicable  

(her father was killed when Vitiate’s Inquisitors raided Mirial and he tried to stop them from taking Vano with them to train, but her mother is only very weakly Force sensitive and was left behind. She works in the local Jedi Archives on Mirial, but after the Alliance forms and Vano and Merak reach out to her again, she eventually joins them on Odessen <3)

[ TRAITS + TENDENCIES ]

♦ extroverted / introverted / in between

(Vano is pretty outgoing and friendly, but not very “in your face”. She’s the quiet-but-friendly sort of type.)

♦ dis-organised / organised / in between

♦ closed-minded / open-minded / in between

♦ calm / anxious / in between

(Mostly calm and collected, though post-Valkorion possession, she has moments where she gets anxious. Particularly if she’s alone, or if she can feel he’s about to pop up and start bothering her D:)

♦ disagreeable / agreeable / in between

(The only time she won’t be agreeable is if you’re a dick, basically.)

♦ cautious / reckless / in between

(Not STUPID reckless, but Vano will take calculated risks and/or react first, think about herself later in order to defend someone else.)

♦ patient / impatient / in between

♦ outspoken / reserved / in between

(Mostly pretty reserved and quietly thoughtful, but known to be VERY vocal in terms of defending minorities or other disadvantaged people and so on.)

♦ leader / follower / in between

♦ empathetic / unempathetic / in between

♦ optimistic / pessimistic / in between

♦ traditional / modern / in between

♦ hard-working / lazy / in between

♦ cultured / uncultured  / in between

♦ loyal / disloyal / unknown

(Vano’s loyalty knows no bounds. She has a strong moral compass and she won’t continue to follow a complete tyrant (which is why she always kept Baras at arms’ length) - but if you’re generally a good person (even if you make mistakes sometimes - or a lot of times if your name is Aria XD - she will cross the entire damn galaxy for you and do anything for you, no questions asked.)

♦ faithful / unfaithful / unknown

[ SEXUALITY & ROMANTIC INCLINATION ]

❤ Sexuality : heterosexual / homosexual / bisexual / asexual / pansexual

❥ Sex : sex repulsed / sex neutral / sex favourable / naive and clueless

(She likes it. Buuuut she can also go a long while without any and not get twitchy about it, if the world’s on fire or something of that nature, sex goes on the back burner, she can survive without it if necessary.)

♥ Romance : romance repulsed / romance neutral / romance favourable / naive and/or inexperienced

(Yes please! Flowers, chocolates, sunsets and rolling credits, Vano’s a sucker for some good-ol’-fashioned romance.)

❣ Sexually : adventurous / experienced / naive / inexperienced / curious

(I struggled with this one, because Va’s not really “naive” she’s just very...vanilla? XD Willing to try things, but Aria’s definitely more experienced in terms of variety of things than she is, so Ari’s usually the one um, “in charge”. ;))

⚧ Potential Sexual Partners : male / female / agender / other / none / all

⚧ Potential Romantic Partners : male / female / agender / other / none / all

[ ABILITIES ]

☠ Combat Skills : excellent / good / moderate / poor / none

(She trained with the Sith. She had to be good or she’d be DEAD XD)

≡ Literacy Skills : excellent / good / moderate / poor / none

(Pretty good, she’s not illiterate, but certainly not as silver-tongued as say, Aria.)

✍ Artistic Skills : excellent / good / moderate / poor / none

(Decent enough singer and dancer, very good at calligraphy, which is one of her main hobbies when she’s not saving the galaxy from mass-murdering tyrants :’))

✂ Technical Skills : excellent / good / moderate / poor / none

(Decent enough. She can work the Razor’s computer systems, crack some rudimentary passcodes and do other basic things, but she would leave the more advanced slicing and coding to Aria, Vette or her brother, they’re better at it.)

[ HABITS ]

☕ Drinking Alcohol : never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

(Social drinker, so will have some at a party or occasionally one or two while she’s out with Aria, but nowhere near as much as her wife.)

☁ Smoking : trying to quit / never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

(Va’s a stress-smoker, so the more pressure she’s under and the more worried/frazzled she feels, the more she smokes. If she’s having a pretty “normal” time of things, it’s in moderation.)

✿ Other Narcotics : never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

✌ Medicinal Drugs: never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

☻ Indulgent Food : never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

(Sometimes ya just have a shitty day and you have to eat an ENTIRE bag of toffee all to yourself. When you’ve saved the galaxy like 3 times over you deserve that much XD)

$ Splurge Spending : never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

♣ Gambling : never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

(Not so keen on it, prefers to watch Aria and her brother whilst they do so she can get them out of trouble if they get into it.)

I’d like a pro hero and villain matchup any gender! I’m a bi girl who yearns to experience genuine love. I’m blunt, melancholic, sarcastic, witty, shy unless I know them well & compassionate. I enjoy writing fiction, sleeping, video games & playing a bit of piano. An ideal partner is someone who can be goofy with me, but always be serious when it’s necessary. Someone protective, viewing love like it brings them to their best. A person who makes me want to give them everything I can offer & more.

ah ofc! tysm for requesting!💖💖

i ship you with:

𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐞!

if you want love, this man will give you just that!! he loves you with his whole being, and is very vocally affectionate as he’s always complimenting you and telling you how much you mean to him 😭

jin admires your compassion and relates to your melancholic ways of thinking. sometimes he can overthink and get wrapped up in negative thoughts, but you’re always there to comfort him and remind him that he’s not alone anymore. and he does the same for you!! he literally loves you so much,, ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡

he’s a total goofball!! you guys get along so well and can make the most simple situation super exciting and fun! jin also has the ability to be serious when necessary, always putting your safety first.

speaking of keeping you safe, he knows he’s a villain and that automagically puts your safety at risk. before he thinks about pursuing a dangerous mission with the league, he automatically thinks of you and if it will jeapordize your well-being. he’s so protective of you (but not in a possessive way) and it would kill him to know that you got hurt because of him. >: jin tries to keep your relationship as fun as possible even if he can’t exactly take you on outlandish dates. you spend a lot of time wrapped in each other’s arms watching tv or stargazing T^T 💕💞💕

i also ship you with:

𝐦𝐬. 𝐣𝐨𝐤𝐞!

emi is also a person that would love with everything she has. she’s constantly flirting with you, no matter how long you’ve been together >\\\< she’d make you feel like the most beautiful person in the world!

you share similar humorous qualities, and emi actually admires your sarcasm and wit! she definitely takes notes on your witty remarks and incorporates more sarcasm into her jokes hsjsjsksnska (￣▽￣)

she’s the goofiest person ever! but she also has her serious moments, (ie: setting aside her humorous persona to appreciate the growth of her students) and knows that there’s a time and place for jokes. when you’re feeling down, after the two of you have talked and you’re feeling a bit better from emi’s advice, is when she tells you a silly joke to bring a smile to your face and cause you to giggle (*´꒳`*)

emi lives to see you happy and always tells you that seeing your smile is the best part of her day. ;^; 💜💞💜💞 shes a passionate and supportive s/o, always encouraging you to follow your dreams as well as acknowledging all of the progress you’ve made in your goals! (whether it was as seemingly simple as getting further in a video game or as complex as learning a new song on the piano!!)

Diary of a Junebug

Getting comfortable at the Cat-Nap Hotel

Back in Nekotown for a pit stop with Elara and AJ tagging along. They’re taking a two week long road trip so they’re gonna spend a couple days at the camp as one of their stops. The road trip was kinda spontaneous but it ended up working out as our camp was heading up to Maron Heights to see them perform in After Hours at the Opera.

Since I got tickets for the last night - the show was playing for a week - and AJ and Elara were gonna kick off their road trip the day after closing, we figured that it’ll make sense for us to travel together. So after the show, our camp headed back to Crescent Moon with AJ, Elara, Kat, and the gang instead of taking off on the road. It was going to be a super long drive and I wasn’t looking forward to that so that’s one less thing to worry about.

Also it was nice seeing Kat again as well as catch up with AJ, Elara, Micah, and Hawk. A lot has changed in Crescent Moon - and things are still a bit hectic but thankfully slowing down, allowing Kat and Elara to get a well deserved break every now and then. Hawk’s still as sweet as ever, geeking out about his latest inventions and just being a ball of sunshine. Micah’s definitely at least a couple inches taller than when I last saw him and while he’s gotten a bit more mature because of everything that’s happened, he’s still as mischievous as ever. 

Everyone in the BFF Squad is so wholesome, like they have no right to be like that! This is what happens when you put together a bunch of chaotic cinnamon rolls together - pure wholesomeness with big dumb gay energy. They’re actually five gays in a trench coat - two useless jock lesbians (Elara and AJ), two distinguished disaster bis (Kat and Hawk) and a baby troublemaker gay (Micah).

After Hours at the Opera was very good! I was surprised when Kat told me that AJ was playing the one of the leads alongside her dad. Truth be told, Kat, Micah, Elara, and Hawk chose After Hours at the Opera because AJ and Micah Sr. are the only ones capable of playing the lead roles without having to change the keys. AJ’s got a husky alto with a really wide vocal range while Micah Sr. had some background in musical theatre and is also a light tenor who can go up really high. 

Basically whoever’s playing Celinde needs to be able to easily sing super low and super high notes with ease and whoever’s playing Cordell needs to go up high as well as sing a super hard cadenza. So that’s how AJ and Micah Sr. ended up playing the leads and they were fantastic! It’s amazing how much they both improved since their auditions and rehearsal videos. Like they were good in the rehearsals but they needed a bit of a push as it was clear that they were playing it safe even though they can obviously go all out.

In AJ’s case she had no musical training background so according to Kat and Micah’s aunt, she was all over the place. Not sure exactly what she meant by “all over the place” but listening back to the rehearsal videos, there were some parts where AJ sounded like she wasn’t sure where she wanted to go. She had potential but didn’t know exactly how she wanted to utilize it. So Annie offered to give AJ singing lessons to help boost her confidence, which helped a lot. 

AJ put on a hell of a performance as Celinde. Her acting and singing were on fire! If I didn’t know her, I wouldn’t think that this was her first show. She definitely won’t admit it, but we’re sure that she enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully that won’t the last we see of her on stage.

As for Micah Sr., he had the chops, even after being out of practice for over twenty years. To everyone’s surprise there’s actually a few decent quality audios of shows he’s been in that are floating around. Hawk put together a compilation comparing how he sounded then and now, the most obvious difference being that his voice has darkened but he’s still able to sing in the whistle register - which is impressive. Because his voice is so light, back then he was taught to sing in a heavy vibrato as his lower range wasn’t as strong. Annie also had him undergo training as he doesn’t sound exactly like he did twenty years ago and it paid off too. 

The rest of the cast was fantastic as well! Kat played the Countess, the character who sets the story in motion. Micah, Elara, and Hawk were Teddy, Mara, and Thomas, three dancers who are intrigued by the mystery of the infamous countess after falling victim to her schemes. It was also nice to see Chip as Andre, the new manager who doesn’t know what’s going on half the time, and Elaina as Christina, no-nonsense the head of the theatre.

So the story’s about this dancer named Celinde who befriends Cordell, a stagehand who’s surprisingly chummy with Christina. While preparing for a show, strange things happen, prompting the dancers to blame it on the Countess’s ghost. The mystery of the Countess and her untimely death is a well known story based on something that happened at the opera years ago. Celinde suspects that Cordell may know more than he’s led her to believe so she begins poking around.

Then shenanigans happen as Celinde finds herself wrapped up in the Countess’s schemes in terrorizing the dancers. She learns that Cordell sort of acts as an accomplice but he too doesn’t know much about the ghost who haunts the opera. While keeping the Countess company, Celinde and Cordell investigate the past. Of course, they find some skeletons along the way, some which have to do with Cordell’s past that he tried to avoid. 

If I had to choose, the strongest thing about the show is the friendship between Celinde and Cordell. The actors are the ones who make or break it and AJ and Micah Sr. really knocked it out of the park! AJ’s a spunky and inquisitive Celinde who plays off well with Micah Sr.’s reserved and head-in-the-clouds Cordell. 

There’s also side plots involving Andre not fully realizing what he signed up for when he became manager, Christina worrying about Cordell, and the Countess messing with the dancers.

Kat made the right call when it came to the two leads. Not only they were amazing singers, they also have great chemistry. It’s hard to believe that AJ was intimidated by Micah Sr. at first because of his status but then she (and the others) realize that he’s a lot like Kat. So he’s a powerful badass who has the ability to incinerate you if you mess with his kids but he’s also a goofball who takes care of everyone. Both have gone through a lot of shit - much like everyone else in the gang - so that was something they were able to initially find common ground in.

AJ wasn’t exaggerating when she said it’s like there’s two Kats now. The minute I met her dad it’s like yup, they’re totally related. It’s interesting how much Kat and Micah take after their dad even though he was missing for most of their lives as Kat was so young and Micah wasn’t even born when he disappeared. It’s so sweet seeing the three of them together but also sad because Evangelina’s not there with them. 

After spending a fun night at the castle where things totally didn’t get out of hand and Elara did not manage to get a sword or two stuck in the ceiling. Just a bunch of pure, wholesome late night shenanigans.

Then this morning Kat gave us a tour around the castle grounds and village. There’s still a lot of reconstruction going on but they’re in the early stages of wrapping up. A lot of other places in the district are at the same stage. At the center of town square will be memorial for those who lost their lives in the rebellion so when that’s finished, there’ll be an unveiling ceremony.

We took off around noon and spent several hours on the road before stopping by Nekotown for the night. By luck, we managed to snag a reservation at the Cat-Fe for a late night dinner as it’s less busy around that time so the wait wasn’t as long. The food’s still as amazing as ever and there’s no better way to introduce Elara and AJ to Nekotown than by dining out at their most famous restaurant! Also, it was super cute seeing them get distracted by the cuteness and the kitties.

Spending half the day on the road makes your energy levels off so we spent a couple hours walking the streets of Nekotown shopping, sightseeing, and catching up with some friends. We didn’t expect it to get so late so soon but we had a good time stretching out legs and taking the time to enjoy our surroundings. 

I’ve never seen Elara and AJ so relaxed as well as being so cute and openly affectionate. Even after everything they’ve been through, after their complicated history together, they’re proof that there’s still hope that things can and will get better. With the past finally behind them and their future slowly coming together, I know that they’re gonna be all right. 

The Cat-Nap Hotel is just as comfy and cozy as the reviews said it was. This was exactly what I needed after being in an RV for so long! I’m definitely gonna get a good night’s sleep in this bed. Also the furniture is so cute, like just being in this room makes me feel all cutesy and happy. I wonder if Rover and/or Katie helped with the room designs. I know a bunch of cat villagers who would totally dig this hotel - too bad I can’t invite all of them or else the entire place would be booked for a very long time.

There’s still so much of Nekotown that I hadn’t explored yet and just when I thought I saw everything, there’s more to see. Good thing we’re not taking off the road until tomorrow evening so that means we have more time to enjoy Nekotown. 

Next time we stay at the Cat-Nap Hotel, we’re gonna spend at least a couple days there. As much as I’m looking forward for the next few days, I don’t think one night is enough to spend at such a cute and cozy hotel!
