#how are u gonna shout from the rooftops about how terrible everything was when THIS happened

[yetdevout]

hehe 💥👪🎂🌙🙈🙊🙉⚾👑🔧🔥 all of those for sweetheart pleaseeee

this is gonna be long. 😅 but here comes sweetheart! my sweetheart is AMAB and uses he/him pronouns, so if that's something any of u don't prescribe to, you're free to scroll. 🌙

💥 COLLISON - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?

oooo boy

so, he quietly deals with A LOT of imposter syndrome. it's something he's struggled a lot with growing up – he's always been in some kind of position of power or excelling at something (because he won't let himself be inferior). lots of doubting his abilities in comparison to his colleagues. because of this, "fake it til you make it" has been a lifelong motto of his. he puts on bravado, confidence, and has a flare for the dramatics in an attempt to trick his brain into believing the shit ppl say about his talents. and it works! most of the time.

horrible at asking ppl for help. we can see that with milo and the shade situation, he's always trying to worm the support out of people without him asking for it (milo saw right through that. sweetheart isn't very used to that. he found it kinda hot). asking for help goes hand-in-hand with his imposter syndrome – he feels like he could be doing better, like why does he need to ask anyone for help? people are expecting a lot from him all the time, especially being this young, hotshot detective. but, good news; he's improving on this! i like to headcanon that cam was the one who provided sweetheart with that copy of jett's report.

oh but he didn't ask cam for that, oh no. he implied that he needed help and cam read him to filth. it's progress.

👪 FAMILY - what is their family like? what is your ocs relationship to them? does your oc have any siblings?

walk with me for this

he has two dads, his bio one is divorced and remarried to his now stepdad. that happened when sweetheart was like 10.

bio dad is an air elemental, stepdad is a magneto energetic. bio mom is unempowered.

he has a stepsister who's like 10 years younger than him.

sweetheart has a good relationship with his dads, loves them to pieces. him and his mom's relationship is a bit... rocky, but it's not terrible. him and his stepsister don't really talk much?? only at holiday parties or whatever. it's fine tho, they're chill, she's a vibe.

🎂 BIRTHDAY CAKE - when is their birthday? do they like celebrating it?

may 9th. he doesn't have strong feelings about his birthday, but he'll still celebrate it with like... those cute little vanilla cakes with the glazed fruit on top.

🌙 MOON - what is your oc's greatest wish? how far are they willing to go for it?

justice? righting wrongs? sweetheart's willing to go hella far if it means bringing justice where it's deserved. we can see that with him bending the rules at DUMP to figure out what the hell happened at the inversion. you can see that with him breaking into milo's house to get information about the shade. now — should he have broken into milo's apartment to begin with? no, like, there were much easier ways for him to go about that.

but here we go again with his flare for the dramatics, his blazing determination, and his unyielding sense of justice, and you have the concoction for a questionably justifiable breaking-and-entering.

🙈 SEE-NO-EVIL - whats a side of your oc that they don't want to show other people?

everything in regards to his feelings of inferiority and the fact his façade is... well, a façade.

🙊 SPEAK-NO-EVIL - what is something your oc will refuse to stay quiet about?

people getting fucked over, for lack of a better response 😭 he hates watching a situation get taken advantage of, he loathes the feeling of sitting back and doing nothing to help. sweetheart feels so strongly about the inversion because that's exactly what's happening. he really wishes he could shout from the rooftops "hey, this is fucked! we should do something about this!", but for the sake of his job, he has to work in secrecy. is burning extremely bright abt it though.

🙉 HEAR-NO-EVIL - what is the worse thing your oc could hear from someone?

"who cares?" "not my problem." and stuff along that nature.

who cares? he cares. sweetheart cares so much and it's both his strength and his weakness. if there's a problem, he's gonna solve it. if there's anything he can do to get people out of a shitty situation, he'll devise a plan to do it. hearing others give up so easily makes no sense to him – he doesn't get along well with nonchalant, unfeeling people.

⚾ BASEBALL - can they play sports? what is their best position if they play a team sport? what's their strong suit (speed, power etc.)?

his family LOVES sports (specifically basketball) so that's kinda been an ongoing theme for him all-throughout childhood.

sweetheart always liked basketball, knew sooo many things about the game — never wanted to play it though. so when he was in middle school, he was their basketball team's manager. pretty solid at it!

in high school, he played volleyball and ended up on his school's jv team. he was their libero 💪🏽 his reaction time is pretty short, so the speed and consistency in which he played was a huge strength.

👑 CROWN - what does your oc want to be remembered as? why?

sweetheart has always lived his life in service of others. he doesn't see that as a bad thing at all; he went into this job as a detective to help the society he lives in. because of all this, i think he'd wanna be remembered as a being someone who saved/helped people.

🔧 WRENCH - are they good at fixing relationships? or do they tend to avoid doing so?

yeah, id say he's pretty good at that. that's the whole thing he's got going on with his mom, their relationship has its faults but he makes sure it doesn't completely fail. if there's good people in his life and he cares about them, sweetheart's the type to initiate conversations and talk about what they can fix. very confrontational.

🔥 FIRE - do they have any self destructive tendencies? what habits do they have that hinder them from becoming their best self?

painful insomniac, he picked up the habit of working out to relieve stress in high school and it's... still here. gets ugly sometimes. him and damien are unfortunately shaking hands in my head.

30 Days of Jyrus, Day 17

Title: A Modest Promposal 

Summary: It’s hard when your boyfriend is still mostly closeted at school, especially when it’s prom season. (background wandi and muffy)

“So, you’ll make sure that Andi doesn’t get to The Spoon until I text you that everything is set up?” Walker asked, eyes wide. “This is important.”

Cyrus rolled his eyes. “Don’t worry. I got this. Your promposal is going to go off without a hitch.”

Walker grinned. “Great, thanks. You’re the best.”

Cyrus reciprocated Walker’s smile, “I know.” Walker continued to ramble about his promposal plans as they walked towards the cafeteria for lunch, but Cyrus tuned him out. He’d heard the whole thing several times already, but Walker was (needlessly) nervous. He wanted to do something big for Andi, as if she wouldn’t say yes no matter how he asked. She’d been talking about senior prom since the eight grade. She’d definitely appreciate the big ask from her perfect, thoughtful boyfriend, though, and Cyrus was probably going to be hearing about it until college.  

Not that Cyrus wasn’t happy for Andi, but it was a bittersweet situation. Cyrus desperately wished he could have a promposal like that. Sure, he and Jonah were probably going to go together, but Cyrus would bet all his leftover Hanukkah money from Grandma Goodman, that Jonah would tell people outside their friend group that it was “just as friends” and that he’d spend half the night dancing with random girls instead of Cyrus. He tried not to resent Jonah for it, he knew that it was hard for Jonah, that he hated the idea of people seeing him differently. He was out to his close friends and to his parents, but most of the school was completely unaware that Jonah Beck was bisexual, let alone that he had been dating Cyrus Goodman for the better part of a year.

Cyrus wanted to shout from the rooftops that Jonah was his boyfriend. He wanted the whole world to know that he was in love. But he understood Jonah’s fear, of course he did, so he never pressured to Jonah to come out more than he was comfortable with. But things like this hurt. Both out of his own slightly narcissistic desire for attention, and because he wished that Jonah was comfortable and secure enough to be himself.

Cyrus and Walker entered the cafeteria and found Buffy, Marty, and Andi at their usual table. Cyrus slid in between Buffy and Andi, and Walker sat on the other side of Andi.  

“Where’s Jonah?” Marty asked.

“I was gonna ask you the same thing,” Cyrus’s quirked an eyebrow. “Don’t you have class together before lunch?”

Marty cocked his head to the side. “He said he was going to meet you.”

Cyrus shrugged. “I must’ve missed him.” Sometimes Jonah’s anxiety got the better of him, and he needed to be alone for a bit during lunch, and often times he used Cyrus as an excuse to get away from people. He didn’t think much of it, until lunch was nearly over, and there was still no Jonah.

He didn’t want to worry anyone else, though, because he knew Jonah wouldn’t want that, but he couldn’t stop himself from sending a quick text: where r u?

The response nearly instantaneous. doing hw. don’t worry.

Cyrus sighed in relief, slid his phone back into his pocket, and tried to focus on Buffy talking about her last basketball game until lunch ended and students flooded the halls again. Cyrus made his way to his locker, to grab the books he needed for his last classes of the day. He was slightly rushed, because his history teacher was going to give him detention if he was late one more time.

As soon as he opened his locker, he completely forgot about his history teacher and the looming threat of detention. A cluster of Mylar balloons shaped like rainbows exploded out of his locker, along with glitter and sequins that sailed delicately to the floor. Cyrus was glued to his spot. His first thought was that it was some kind of terrible prank, as he felt the eyes of every student passing through the halls suddenly fall on him. But then he heard Jonah’s voice.

“Cyrus!” He called, and Cyrus turned to see Jonah holding a sign with rainbow block letters. PROM?

“I…” Cyrus choked out quietly.

“I don’t want to hide anymore, Cy.” Jonah shrugged. “And I know you always wanted a big ask…So, uh. Will you go to prom with me?”

“Yes! Of course!” Cyrus’s mind finally connected to his body, and he threw his arms around Jonah, who dropped the sign to hold his boyfriend. Cyrus pulled back and picked up the sign. “Oh no, we’re keeping this forever.”

Jonah rolled his eyes. “You’re ridiculous.”

“Says the guy who stuffed my locker with rainbow balloons,” Cyrus laughed.

Jonah crossed his arms. “It is my God-given bisexual right to be dramatic.”
