@shivcomplex: 'absolute honesty' sounds like 'total crap', to me. — HOW TO BE EATEN STARTERS
' and all the lies an' bollocks sound just as fresh as daisies, is that it? weird fuckin' way to live. '
yeah, he's dancing around the accusation of dishonesty — because, well, he's not actually being fucking honest — but it's not like he doesn't mean it. these posh types with their sycophants, their suck-ups, their power-playing politics that are only called politics because everyone thinks that with enough money, a corporation becomes a world — do they accept anything at face value? is this one a good read, or habitually paranoid?
not like he wouldn't say the exact same thing, if someone swanned up with a similar offer. he shrugs, taking a drag of his silk cut and letting the smoke out in the vague silhouette of a star. ' y'know luv, you sound like you don't trust me. fair enough, but fuck if i deserve it. f'i said i don't give a toss about you or yer family, an' i'm just 'ere out of the goodness of me heart, would that make it better or worse? ' it sounds just about as absolutely honest as she thinks.

Finally got inspired to write something again. Did I finish any of my WIPs? Of course not. Anyway, this is a scene from the Lantern-of-Evil-verse that just doesn't fit anywhere else.
Affirmation
You've never asked before, not of anyone. What if the answer was no? Worse, what if they were annoyed and decided you were too needy, to desperate, too much? If they weren't going to say it, you weren't going to prompt them. Mostly, they didn't say it.
You didn't ask Steve, either. He does say it, though, at least once a day when he's able to - when he's home, or isn't in such deep cover he can't have a phone. It's the last thing he says at night, curled up around your little spoon, your head tucked up against the base of his throat, your back to his chest so you can feel it rumbling through you like a little earthquake. He says it over the phone when he's away on a mission or just at the compound, voice soft, floating down the line like a leaf on a stream.
He says it without words, a hug from behind, a kiss to your temple, a hip check while you're standing in the big communal kitchen listening to Tony and Rhodey bicker (Rhodey’s right. Rhodey's always right and Tony just argues to hear himself.) It's him taking your hand, lips quirked, after he's heard the third version of Shostakovich's Waltz #2 leak from your earbuds (you keep it low, but he can pick up almost anything above a 2) and figures you want to dance. It's the way he still has to count out a waltz, but does it anyway.
It's Steve personally calling a newspaper publisher, getting hung up on because they didn't believe he was, like, him, then getting an AI PR rep to call back through official channels, after their online edition ran a picture of the two of you at a gallery in the city, one so small neither of you expected to be noticed. You hadn't bothered to be cautious, and the pic showed his hand curled around your hip, your heads bent together. Blatant it might have been, but a solid 90% of commenters insisted you and Steve were just friends, obviously (“my god how could anyone infer romance from that pose?”). Or no, you were his assistant, just professionally cuddled up to Captain America (“it's true I saw her in the background of an avengers event pic talking to Pepper Potts, so obviously she works with them”). Or no, you were just a random art lover, and Steve was kindly explaining something about the piece in front of you - which launched a tangent about whether the commenters would tolerate mansplaining from Captain America, and if putting his arm around a stranger was creepy. You were semi-gratified to see a reasonable consensus of no for the first and yes for the second, and more hurt than you'd admit to anyone by the much-larger consensus that Steve would definitely never have a woman who looked like you. But around the fourth time you refreshed the page to torture yourself with new comments, the story disappeared, and Nat told you later that Steve had used his Captain-America-Is-Disappointed voice to tell the publisher that if they ever ran an unauthorized pic, ever published your name or information, ever allowed personal comments, Steve would personally make sure that no publication owned by their group would be allowed into an Avengers event or interview ever again. (Nat then took great pleasure in describing his Captain-America-Will-Rip-Off-Your-Head-And-Shit-Down-Your-Neck voice when the publisher proved to be a little recalcitrant).
That led to the second time he suggested you move in together, into one of the single-family homes for AI personnel that Tony was building on the other side of the lake. The two of you could have it designed just for yourselves, with anything you'd want. “You could have a pantry,” he’d crooned right into your ear as he held you stretched out on top of him. “A big, big pantry. Full Wilder,” and honestly, that was him saying it just as obviously as if he used the words, because how else would he have paid attention to your 30-minute info dump about Laura Ingalls Wilder's custom-made pantry? “A cold cellar too,” he added, and you could have married him right then just for remembering.
So you know he does. You don't have to ask. But because you know, you can.
He's sitting on the couch, watching teams he doesn't actually care about (you asked him how he felt about the Dodgers these days; he made an uncategorizable noise, but he watches every game), and makes a quizzical sound when you clamber into his lap, straddling him and resting your head on his shoulder. “You okay there, pretty girl?” he asks, more amused than concerned, arms already wrapping around you.
You nod and nuzzle in. “D’you lumme?”
He huffs a laugh, and squeezes tight. “Yeah. I lummu.”

🖤 for one Henry Philip McCoy! Any verse.
send 🖤 and my character will answer about yours. (accepting)
@positivelybeastly answering these for basically feline hank, but works for any 'typical tuesday' scenario of their relationship
attractiveness:
repulsive / hideous / ugly / not attractive / unappealing / not unattractive / meh / no preference / ok / mildly attractive / nice looking / cute / adorable / attractive / pleasant on the eyes / good looking / hot / sexy / beautiful / gorgeous / hot damn / would tap that / perfect / godlike / holy fuck there are no words.
Hank is rather firmly situated in the parent category, and elicits no for Core attraction whatsoever. If pressed on the matter of appearance, he would likely detachedly describe his father figure as handsome, or perhaps adorable when Hank is acting at peak goofiness (which happens often with Core)
Tumblr media
personality:
grating / irritating / frustrating / boring / confusing at best / awkward / unreasonable / psychotic / disturbing / interesting / engaging / affectionate / aggressive / ambitious / anxious / artistic / bad tempered / bossy / charismatic / appealing / unappealing / creative / courageous / dependable / unreliable / unpredictable / predictable / devious / dim / extroverted / introverted / egotistical / gregarious / fabulous / impulsive / intelligent / sympathetic / talkative / up beat / peaceful / calming / badass / flexible.
Core thinks the absolute world of Hank. As far as the young mutant is concerned, Hank is the kindest, most compassionate, most daring, most intelligent person there ever was. The biggest downside to Hank is his seeming inability to recognize his own worth and greatness; a fact that vexes Core to no end. That aside, the man's practically perfect-though you'd be hard pressed to ever hear Core admit any of this so emphatically out loud.
Tumblr media
how likely they would have sex with them:
not if they were the last person on earth and the world was ending / fuck no! / never / no way / not likely / not sure / indifferent / I’m asexual / maybe / probably / it depends / fairly likely / likely / yeah sure / yes / would tap that / hell yes / fuck yes! / wishing that could happen right now / as many times as possible / we are already having sex.
Theirs is a strictly platonic, parent-child relationship. We can safely and decidedly mark Core's view of Hank as Dad and in no way Daddy, thank you very much.
Tumblr media
level of friendship:
never in a million years / worst of enemies / enemies / rivals / indifferent / neutral / acquaintance / friendly toward each other / casual friends / friends / good friends / best friends / fuck buddies / bosom buddies / practically the same person / would die for them / true friends / my only friend.
Making connections with people is a tall order for Core even at the best of times, so he has historically not been fortunate enough to have fostered many over the course of his life. Hank, however, managed to get through to him at a young age, and once they were attached Core found a kindred spirit like no other. Hank is his closest confidant, his role model, his lifetime goal. Hank taught Core how to lead with empathy and be brave enough to step up when people need someone. He showed Core the beauty and magic of science and the responsibility of brilliance. Who Core is today is undoubtedly a product of Hank's influence, and Core is all too grateful for it.
Tumblr media
first impression of them:
i hate them so much / i don’t like them / i don’t trust them / they annoy me / they’re weird / I’m indifferent / meh / they seem alright / they’re growing on me / truce / I think I like them / I like them / I’m not sure if I trust them / I trust them / they’re cool / they’re genuine / I think we’re going to get along / I really like them / I think I’m in love / oh fuck they’re hot / I love them.
Their first meeting wasn't a particularly warm one, considering Hank and the other X-Men present had been identified as enemies for Core to either vanquish valiantly or stall in the attempt to do so. Even for a short time after being removed from those circumstances, Core initially mistook the act of kindness as a death sentence.
Tumblr media
current impression of them:
i hate them so much / i don’t like them / i don’t trust them / they annoy me / they’re weird / I’m indifferent / meh / they seem alright / they’re growing on me / truce / I think I like them / I like them / I’m not sure if I trust them / I trust them / they’re cool / they’re genuine / I think we’re going to get along / I really like them / I think I’m in love / oh fuck they’re hot / I love them.
Thankfully, it didn't take over long for Hank to dispel that notion, and at present there's no one whom Core holds in higher regard.

TEDTalk Time again >:)
Funnily enough, I've actually been tryna think of songs but to no avail which was annoying cuz analyzing your Cap alongside music is sO fun but then when I wasn't actively searching, a song came to mind. Wild how the brain works. ANYWAYS...
Punching Bag by Set It Off is today's song. Although I won't lie, this one might be a bit confusing since I just thought of it and didn't organize many thoughts but here we go >:)
This empty feeling sets in my chest and I start to worry Try to push it down, cast it out, but I can't control it, ah!
This song is very LtF Cap and his relationship with Damien. These first two lines don't even really need an explanation tbh. But it's basically Cap after a decent amount of time with Damien after that "honeymoon" period they had when they first got together. And all those thoughts of Cap not being worth real love taking place in his mind.
Hanging on by the strings that you're pulling So you cut me down just to push me around
Like I'm your punching bag
That third line is the start of the chorus while the first two are still part of verse 1 which is why there's the space. But any lyrics about being pushed around and shit just makes me think of how Damien just degraded Cap in bed without even caring if he wanted that. And the "hanging on by strings" line, Cap knowing Damien isn't good for him but not wanting to miss out on Damien's "affection".
Take it out on someone who won't hit you back 'Til we're all as broken as you
And this ofc, would be the party. Cap deserved to get a good hit in when Damien was being...Damien. But god it just makes me think Damien absolutely knew Cap wouldn't do anything despite all the antagonizing he did. The fact he fucking choked the man ??? And Cap still did nothing (all while comforting Kitty too. Charlie you're an amazing writer) And that second line ? Well...once Damien told Cap he was married, it went to shit for him. I mean, he was drunk and looking like shit at the party and unsurprisingly took it out on Cap when he saw him. Trying to take them both down. Because ofc, it's not Damien's fault his wife divorced him when she was told he was cheating. Not his fault Cap finally got away from him. If everyone sees how fucked up Cap is then they'll want to drop him too and leave him with nothing.
So say, goodbye to your Mr. Nice Guy You got your wish, he's rotting in hell
I'd say this is Cap immediately after moving. When he wasn't super approachable and still kept to himself. Damien sort of broke him and he decides if he doesn't let anyone in, he can't be hurt. And then it happens again after the party. Just as he's feeling safe and comfortable, the peace is broken and Cap goes back to hiding away after having yelled at his friends when they were trying to help him. He does make things right with them but in those moments, he lashes out and tries pushing people away.
I'm up all night when you think I'm sleeping People pleasing's never good for your health
First line is, again, Cap and Damien sleeping together. That unease Cap felt after they were finished and having to sneak out when really he wanted someone who'd let him stay and make him feel wanted. And that second line is...yeah that's pretty Cap. When he talks about how he's sorta given up on love and intimacy because he doesn't deserve it so he just lets others see him how they want to see him.
On this episode of "Friend or Foe", you're throwing stones
Friend or Foe is obviously Damien. The way he changes from being all interested in what Cap has to say to just getting straight to using him. And Cap having to figure out which one it'll be. Part of him wants to believe "friend" for the simple fact that Damien told him Cap was lucky he was still around. Manipulative mf >:(
I could give you the world, but you'd poison the seas I could let down my guard, but then all that I'd be is just your [punching bag]
God this fuckin line. The contrast between Damien and Cap. The way Cap is so full of affection that he wants to give someone. Even though he's been told otherwise and began to believe it, all he really wants is to be happy and have someone who'll share that with him (*cough* pat <3 *cough cough*) And someone he can actually be around without having to pretend to be something else or shut down his emotions to keep being with them. Someone he feels safe with (god this poor man). But then there's Damien. The complete opposite of all that. If the man wanted that, he wouldn't be cheating on his wife while mistreating the "side piece". Damien who, most likely, was not out and probably was very repressed and couldn't express that in any healthy manner.
Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk :)
This song goes so hard and has been stuck in my head for days now but I only just made connections to LtF with it. Also there's the "bridge" (second chorus sung differently) that has some nice harmonies. Love your writing as always :)))
hey!! thank you for this! I'm sorry that it took me so long to answer it <3 <3
You're so right that this song has very early LtF vibes, especially with Cap and his relationship with Damien.
I feel like "Hanging on by the strings that you're pulling So you cut me down just to push me around" is also really relevant to when Cap goes to Damien after his mum dies and Damien (in my mind, deliberately) brings up his wife for the first time. He really does just do it to be cruel and also because he realises how much genuine dependence Cap has on him - he wants the dependence but not the baggage that comes with it at all, so he very effectively cuts him off.
"Take it out on someone who won't hit you back 'Til we're all as broken as you" so true, this is definitely about the party! damien never thought there would be consequences for his actions and i imagine his friends and family found out about his cheating and he's no longer in their good books and he really doesn't like how that feels. and then he sees Cap dancing and looking happy with some other guy? despite all the hard work he put in to drag him down? nuh uh not on his watch. but he still knows him well enough, and knows that it's only been like, 4 months and Cap can't unlearn all his shite that quickly.
"So say, goodbye to your Mr. Nice Guy You got your wish, he's rotting in hell"
this is defo Cap immediately after moving and at the party! just the return of the cap who tries to remain detached from his feelings (that kind of dissociating he was doing at the beginning, even before his mother died, leaving damien's at like 4am and going for walks etc, having damien be the puppet master so he didn't have to worry about being in control of his own life).
"I'm up all night when you think I'm sleeping People pleasing's never good for your health"
yes, definitely agree with everything you've said about this!
"On this episode of "Friend or Foe", you're throwing stones"
same with this!
"I could give you the world, but you'd poison the seas I could let down my guard, but then all that I'd be is just your [punching bag]"
this line makes me feel like a punching bag, crikey. i just hate to think of Cap in the early stages of their relationship, trying to be the best version of himself, trying to think of interesting things to say to Damien, trying to be outwardly happy even though he's still fucked up about Havers. and then the slow realisation that he doesn't need to do any of these things at all and that he's misinterpreted this man completely but he's also the closest he'll get to love any time soon.
thank you so much for your TEDtalk!! you know i love them so much!! <3 <3 <3 <3

Rainy days with their s/o
ft. Yuma and Subaru
Warning: 18+ content below; don't read if you're a minor.
Tumblr media
Yuma:
Well, since he can’t garden that day, he’s quite bored and out of ideas as to what to do.
He’d be kinda grumpy about it, especially if he was planning to plant something new that day.
“Man, out of all days it has to rain today.”
“You say that every time it rains. It’s mother nature’s way of doing things. You can’t change it.”
“Tch! What does she know?!”
He’d eventually get over the fact that he can’t garden and would sit down and watch a little TV with you, however, he’s always judging everything that’s on.
For example, if a movie or show is on and he doesn’t really like it, he’ll criticize the characters he finds stupid.
“That guy’s an idiot. That’s not how you get a girl.”
“Oh, and I suppose you know?”
“How do you think I got you, little pig.” He’d grin, making you hit him playfully.
On days like this, he tends to get clingy because he has nothing else to do.
Basically, without his garden he’s lost on what to do and will constantly tease and bother you throughout the day.
For example, since it’s rainy outside, you figured you’d make yourself a nice hot chocolate since it corresponded well with the weather.
However, as you were drinking it in the kitchen, he came in and decided to bother you about what you were doing.
“What are you drinking, little pig?”
“A hot chocolate.” You’d smile.
“Oh good, maybe you’ll gain a little and it’ll go where I want it most.” He’d grin while reaching behind to clutch your ass xDD.
“Yuma! Is that all you care about?!”
“Hey, this little pig’s ass belongs to me, so I get to decide how big I want it.”
If you two are cuddling on the couch, he absolutely refuses to let you go. He literally treats you as if you’re his body pillow.
“Yuma, let me go.”
“Fight your way out of it, little pig.” He’d grin, finding your struggle funny.
Since there isn’t much to do on days like this, he might allow you to style his hair any way you want and might even do yours.
Believe it or not, he's an expert at braiding. His favorite style is a fishtail braid and he thinks it looks beautiful on you.
His talent for braiding is so versed that even his brothers might comment as to how pretty it looks on you.
"It looks so . . . nice, Y/N." Azusa would comment.
"Wow little maso-kitty, it looks great on you. Did Yuma do that?" Kou would add.
"As expected, Yuma's known for such styles. You display it well." Ruki would admit.
“Yeah, only the best for my little pig.” Yuma would smirk, a subtle boast in his tone, causing you to blush at his statement.
He likes giving you piggy back rides throughout the house, but he’ll pretend to drop you just to scare you because he’s an asshole.
With all this boredom, Yuma might even get into asking you a few dirty riddles.
"Hey little pig, what's six inches long, goes in your mouth and is more fun if it vibrates?"
"Yuma!"
"Damn, little pig, I didn't know you could be so dirty-minded. I'm just talking about a toothbrush."
"Well it certainly didn't sound that way."
"My god! How could you think such a thing?” He said, acting oh-so innocent, a smirk soon appearing on his face, showing his true colors. “Oh, I get it, you wanted it to be something else."
“What are you-,”
“C’mere, little pig.” He’d say, tackling and pinning you to a nearby couch, starting to tickle you.
"No! Stop!'' You'd squeal, Yuma still continuing to tickle you as you laughed beneath him.
At one point he might grow fed up with the rain and decide to go outside anyways.
"Y’know what, this is stupid. C'mon, little pig. We're not gonna let a little rain tell us what to do." He’d say, taking you by your wrist and dragging you behind him.
"Yuma, wai-,"
He’d continue running and drag you outside in the pouring rain, making you get soaking wet as he picks you up into his arms and spins you around, his lips melding onto yours as he’d hungrily kiss you. He’d soon pull away and put you down, a scowl on your face due to him getting you drenched in mother nature’s tears.
“Yuma! You got me all wet!”
"Damn, I tried to make this romantic and you're complaining about getting wet?"
You’d sigh, “Getting romantic doesn’t mean getting wet!”
“Oh really?” He’d smirk. “Then how come my little pig gets wet every time I-,”
“Shut up!” You’d say, hitting him playfully, causing him to laugh.
Tumblr media
Subaru:
Doesn’t care if it’s rainy or not since he doesn’t really go out.
However, if it’s raining at night time and he wants to go in the rose garden, he might be a little irritated about it.
And since he doesn’t have any hobbies, this is a little hard on him.
Plus, since he’s a tsundere, he'll act pretty annoyed in general, even going down to being a total ass.
Compared to Yuma, he gets clingy in a different way--that is, he secretly hopes that you’ll spend time with him since he can’t go out to the garden.
If you’re busy doing your own stuff tho, he’ll attempt to get involved but will act like he’s disinterested in doing so.
But it’s not like you mind him getting involved--that is, if he’s being genuine.
For example, you were once sitting down at the table working on your homework late at night, finishing up the last thing for your assignment when he walked in and came up behind you.
He placed his head in the crook of your neck, being curious about what you were doing as his gaze traveled to the assignment you were working on.
“What are you doing?”
“Homework.” You’d answer.
“Tch! What a pain.”
“It’s not so bad, I’m almost done.”
“Why don’t you just take a break?”
“Subaru, there’s really no point since I’m close to finishing.” You’d say going back to your work, but of course, the white-haired vampire had to persist.
He lifted up his face from the crook of your neck and took notice of your exposed bra strap. A smirk grew on his face and being the tease that he is, he’d take his fingers and use them to pull on it and have smack against your skin just to annoy you and throw you off guard.
“What the hell?”
“It’s not my fault it was right there, you should hide it better next time.” He’d smirk.
If the atmosphere is quiet and he sees you’re busy but doesn’t want to bother you, he’ll just watch what you’re doing whilst you’re busy working and shuffling around doing your stuff. With watching the way your body moves and the look of concentration on your face, it builds up a lot of sexual tension as he'd stand by with his arms crossed in hopes that something intimate happens or is initiated.
Oh the things this bby car imagines xDD.
He’ll also try to get involved in other things you’d be doing as well, such as crafts.
After finishing your homework, you decided to do something a bit more productive, so you decided to go work on a painting you had been working on. You’d get pretty focused and concentrated, that is until Subaru came up behind you and decided to intervene.
“What are you up to now?”
“Painting.”
“Tch! Lame.”
He’d just continue to stand there, his figure still looming over yours. An idea soon hit you. You knew he was bored, so you decided to make painting time a little more fun.
Turning to him, you’d ask, “Hey, why don’t you help.”
“Huh?”
“Help me with the painting.”
“Do I look like Picasso to you?” He’d sarcastically remark.
“Subaru, it doesn’t matter what it looks like in the end. What matters is the fun you have when painting.”
“Tch! That’s stupid.” He’d retort.
“Alright, then. Suit yourself.”
Since he didn’t want to, you turned around and began painting again.
Deep down, Subaru secretly found your offer to be sweet since he really didn’t mind helping and wanted to spend time with you, but because he has a hard time expressing his emotions through his tough exterior, it always came off as if he didn’t care.
The white-haired vampire sighed, feeling torn between the feeling of wanting to do something memorable with you versus him getting caught doing something crafty by one of his brothers, but because you were more important, he decided to help.
“Alright, where do you want me to begin?” He’d say picking up a brush and sitting down next to you.
Taken back by his sudden decision, you’d say. “Oh, um, you can start over here.” You’d say, pointing to a blank space on the canvas. “Just paint it blue for now and then I’ll tell you what to do from there.”
He said nothing and began to do what you asked him, both of you working hard on the masterpiece.
While working, you’d occasionally sneak a few glances at him, seeing how his progress was going.
You honestly had to admit how attractive Subaru looked when he was concentrated on something, the way his eyes angled themselves as they narrowed in on the area he was working on, a few stray locks being in his face, his lips being ajar and lurid in the lighting as he continued to work.
To be honest, you definitely had to ask him to paint more often with you.
He definitely looked busy, an idea striking you again but in a more playful aspect. Since he looked so concentrated, you dipped your finger into the paint and smeared some on his cheek.
“Hey! What the hell?!”
You honestly couldn’t help but laugh, leading him to grin, “Oh, you think that’s funny? Then how about this?”
He’d be quick to dip multiple fingers in the paint and smear it all over your face. Accepting his challenge, you were quick to dip your hand in paint and smear it all over his face as payback, but this was far from over.
This ended up becoming an entire paint war, you and Subaru’s laughter echoing as you chased each other about the room and continued to smear and splatter paint on each other, both of you becoming a colored mess as the walls became vandalized in the process.
“I’m gonna get you, Y/N. You’re gonna look like a rainbow by the time this is over.” He’d grin, his hand fully loaded with paint being ready to rub it on you.
“Catch me if you can!” You’d tease sticking your tongue out, whilst running away from him.
It was all fun and games however, until Reiji came in and saw the mess, leading him to scold you two.
“What is the meaning of this?”
You both would be quick to blame it on each other as you’d talk over each other in unison, but Reiji didn’t care to hear excuses.
“Please see to it that this is cleaned up, otherwise I’ll have to discipline the two of you thoroughly.” He’d say, quickly taking his leave as you both laughed about what happened, soon cleaning it up together.
On rainy nights, he might show a bit of a soft side.
However, bear in mind that he will be quick to lean back into his tsundere side if he thinks the moment is getting too soft.
Likes to lay in his coffin with you if you both want to relax. He’ll act annoyed the entire time due to him being a tsundere, but secretly, he loves the fact that you’re next to him.
Likes to have you sit in his lap, while you’re reading, having a blanket draped over the both of you, whilst he’d rest his face in the crook of your neck. He honestly loves being so close to you, but he’d never admit it.
Here, he might take the opportunity to either place a soft kiss on your neck or bite your shoulder if he’s feeling thirsty.
He likes to cuddle and lay on top of you, but won't let you leave to do anything else because he's so clingy.
"Subaru, let me go."
"Not a chance."
When he’s not being soft, you two are bound to bicker about the stupidest things--like heights, for example, leading him to become a total mess.
"You're not taller than me, Y/N. We've been over this."
"Oh no?" You’d sass, stepping onto his coffin, being slightly taller than him now. "How about now?"
He scoffed, a grin appearing on his face as he’d playfully grab you and pin you onto a nearby wall, giving you the greediest and lustful kisses as you both kept laughing in unison.
Might let you style his hair, such as putting it up into a ponytail or style it in some other way.
You once put bows in his hair and he was so annoyed by it at first, but he eventually started to find it funny and began laughing with you, but that was all until Laito came in and took a picture of him with his new style.
“Fufu~, love the new look, Subaru. I’ve gotta say it suits you.”
“Why you!” He’d hiss, quickly running after him to make him delete the photo and beat the living crap out of him for doing that and seeing him in such a state.
On rainy nights, be prepared for a lot of fun and games because apart from paint wars, Subaru can take things to a whole new level.
Since it was raining and you couldn’t go anywhere, you decided to try out a new makeup style.
And of course, he’d have to get into your business and tell you he finds it stupid.
"Tch! Why do girls even wear that shit?!"
"Oh shut up, you boys like it. Don't lie.”
“Whatever.” He’d retort, saying nothing else.
You sighed knowing he was bored, so you asked the unthinkable once again to help him cope with not being able to go out because of the rain.
“Do you want help?”
“Help? With what?”
“With this new makeup style.”
“Tch! Seriously?”
“All you have to do is add the eyeshadow and lipstick. I’m not asking you to do anything crazy.”
Sighing and knowing it was better than doing nothing, he’d say, “Fine.”
He’d turn you to him so he could have better access to your face to apply the makeup.
“Just don't make me look like a clown.” You’d warn closing your eyes, allowing Subaru to put on the eyeshadow.
This is when he was struck with a mischievous idea, an infamous smirk twisting on his lips as he applied the makeup to your face.
And after what seemed like quite some time, he finally finished.
“Okay, it’s done.”
You’d sigh, “Finally, I can’t wait to see it. I’m sure it looks amazing.”
“You bet it does.” He’d mutter under his breath, it not being loud enough for you to hear.
Opening your eyes, you looked at your reflection in the mirror and screamed. The makeup looked so bad, maybe worse than a clown.
"Subaru!"
“Ha! What a face!” He’d scoff.
“Ass!” You’d hiss, chasing him around the room as he’d laugh.
Now because you couldn’t let him get away with what he did, as payback you decided to draw a mustache on him while he was sleeping.
When he woke up and saw his reflection in the mirror he grew shocked, and instantly knew it was you who had done it.
(Ik vampires typically can’t see their reflection in a mirror, but I’m not sure about DL here, but let’s just assume that he can considering it hasn’t been mentioned (maybe I’m wrong here??); and also because Reiji implied that some human-made vulnerabilities don’t apply to them, so this might not).
“Y/N!”
“Payback's a bitch isn't it?” You’d giggle, standing a few feet away from him.
“Now, you're gonna get it!” He’d say, chasing you around to no end, only leaving you to laugh as he kept running after you.

I think I've made like, two sarcastic comments about how I'm glad the Finarfin you've mentioned isn't the Finarfin from my stories (or at least in the splinters like jewel shards verse) but I don't think I've asked, do you have any headcanons on Finarfin? I'm interested if you'd like to share any!
-@outofangband
@outofangband
Yes!!! I remember that comment. I also hope he’s a bit nicer than the Finarfin from Return in Chains, one of my fics (although that Finarfin isn’t evil… just… makes questionable decisions out of desperation, which is basically the Finwean Family Pastime).
I LOVE FINARFIN.
He thinks “Finarfin” (aka Finwe-Ara-Finwe) is a terrible name and can’t believe his brother would have done such a stupid thing. (He also thinks “Fingolfin” is a terrible translation).
After all his relatives took off and left them, he got put in charge of not only the country, but also literally everyone’s CRAP. Meaning, as the only remaining member of the house of Finwë, he had to figure out what to do with all the houses and possessions they left behind. He ended up boarding them up and leaving them, in the hopes that they would come back one day (elven possessions don’t rot or decay, after all).
The only time he used one of his relatives homes after they left was gifting Maglor’s house to Celebrían when she arrived. By that time he had accepted that Maglor would never return, and he figured she had the best claim to it (and it had the largest garden, which he knew she would like, and it was in the artist’s district which she loved). When Elrond actually managed to drag Maglor back with him, Arafinwë was SHOCKED. Thankfully, Maglor was fine with him gifting it to her and just moved in with them.
He just generally seems like he wants the best for everyone. I don’t think he’s a coward, I think he’s just very cautious (and he has a bit of foresight, which means he probably saw that the future would be WORSE if he went as well). I also like the idea that part of his reason for staying was ‘get on the Valar’s good side so I can eventually convince them to help’ not realizing that by the time they helped his entire family would be dead.
He has a great sense of humor and is generally a fun guy to be around. His assorted relatives know they’re always welcome at either of his homes (he has one in Tirion and one in Aqualonde) even if he’s not there himself. Half the time he gets back from vacation to find at least two random nieces/nephews chilling in his house.
He and Maglor both have a similar grasp of emotions and Osanwe. Maglor uses his gifts to fuck with people; Finarfin tries to use his to help people. He spends a lot of time going around fixing all the people Maglor has screwed with.
Arafinwë annoys Maglor precisely because he can see through Maglor’s attempts at manipulation. Maglor tried to trick him into doing something once and Finarfin calmly said ‘if you wanted attention you only had to ask’ (that, of course, was HIGHLY OFFENSIVE as far as Maglor was concerned).
Arafinwë does not want the crown. It is a running joke in Tirion that whenever someone from the line of Finwë is reborn or sails, he tries to give them the crown (it is true, actually, but no one else wants the thing either). He even tries to give it to Maglor once he turns up.
His attempt at inventing democracy backfired when he was elected.
Nerdanel becomes very close to him during the First Age while they bond over missing their children.
He keeps a memorial in the palace garden, with markers - made by Nerdanel - for every fallen member of the house of Finwë. They even add a marker for Gil-Galad after the Last Alliance even though no one has any idea who the fuck he is or if he’s related. The memorials are kept even after the dead are re-embodied, as a reminded of ‘that dumb thing you did that one time’
He makes annual trips to the Halls of Mandos just to ‘chat’ with Namo (and subtly inquire as to when he’s going to be getting his relatives back). Finrod’s release was, in part, to try to appease Arafinwë, but all it did was make him more determined that he COULD get the rest of his family back.
He informs Namo that no, no you will NOT be keeping my brother and his children until the Second Music, thank you very much. (Namo points out that their Fëar are very badly damaged, Arafinwë asks why the fuck Namo thinks that he - as a Vala - is best equipped to heal people who hate his guts)
Fëanor gave him a pet swan when he was five because Fëanor thinks swans are assholes and expected it to terrorize his younger brother. Instead Arafinwë befriended the swan and trained it to bite Fëanor on command.
Arafinwë typically doesn’t eat meat, the only exception is fish.
He can’t figure out why the Valar put Eönwë in charge of the host. I mean, he’s a great guy and a terrifying fighter, but he seems to have a few screws loose.
Elrond and Elros’ return to Gil-Galad was only because of Arafinwë. Maedhros and Maglor didn’t trust the host of the Valar, but Arafinwë sent them a letter promising to personally watch over the twins and arguing that they would be safer with the Host. Because of this, Elrond and Elros resented him for a long time, blaming him for taking them away from their adopted family.
Arafinwë spent a good chunk of the War of the Wrath keeping Eönwë from accidentally causing Diplomatic Incidents or Other Minor Catastrophes. The rest of the War was spent trying to work how the the fuck he’s related to Gil-Galad. He still isn’t sure, he’s pretty sure Fingon might have just picked up a random kid somewhere. Or he might be a Fëanorian, but he kind of hopes NOT. He loves his half-brother, but holy fuck.
It was his idea to turn Morgoth’s crown into a collar, because he was fucking pissed off by that point. It was mostly a joke, but Eönwë, being a himbo, went with it.
He was attempting to negotiate either the return of the Silmarils OR a different way to end the Oath when Maedhros and Maglor stole the Silmarils from Eönwë’s camp. One of the guards they killed was a childhood friend of Arafinwë. Arafinwë already had rooms waiting for Maedhros and Maglor back in Tirion, because as soon as he got them on a boat he was planning to take them straight home, whether that was the Valar’s plan or not.
Arafinwë had managed to arrange a pardon for Galadriel, but she was still angry and proud and announced that she didn’t want it, thus resulting in her getting a personal ban.
He knew Galdalf before he went to Middle Earth and gave him a very long list of things to tell Galadriel, most of which amounted to ‘get over yourself and apologize to the Valar so you can come home you fucking idiot (and please tell Elrond hello, he’s a lovely child, really)’
He adores the Hobbits and can’t believe Elrond managed to bring them. Gandalf who? He gives his grandson-in-law all the credit, thank you very much.

"Can I change my mind?"
pairing: ace!reader x lee know | gender neutral reader word count: 1.4k warnings: suggestiveness | i'm not well-versed in these kinds of things, i know about them but as someone who doesn't identify as such, there's only such a limited way i can perceive how it feels so i apologize in advance if there's any misrepresentation on my part! i'm willing to learn and correct any mistakes and if any of this is slightly at all offensive, i would gladly take it down. synopsis: you thought you were finally ready but you realize that perhaps you never will be.
Tumblr media
if there's anyone in the world that you hate with a passion, that would be lee minho.
he was extremely attractive, athletic, and popular around campus— which would've been fine if not for the fact that he acts like it.
at first you felt indifferent towards him, but then the first time you guys "interacted" just immediately planted the seed of hatred you have towards him— an incident where he accidentally bumped into you by the sidewalk, making you trip but he didn't even spare so much of a glance towards your direction as he continued to parade down the field, waving at the flock of women bombarding his line of sight. hell, you didn't even know whether he felt someone bumping into him or not. what's worse was that the girls who were so eager to approach him also stepped on your schoolwork. perfect, just perfect.
you didn't mind his presence as long as he didn't mess with your daily life but now that he seemed to be appearing more in your general vicinity, you suddenly found yourself trapped within his weird harem bubble, making him notice you and have not stopped bothering you ever since.
"y/n~ you're radiant as ever today, wanna go out with me?" he smirked as he threw you a sly wink, greeting you by the school gate.
"no, minho, leave me alone."
"bad day?"
you stopped, looked at him for a second before throwing him a fake smile, "horrible, thanks to you."
the next few weeks continued as such. he never really followed you or pursued you anywhere but any time that your directions would meet, he'd make sure to annoy you out of your core.
"change your mind yet?"
"no."
and the same back and forth continues. you figured he'd just give up, there's other people in university that would probably be a better candidate than you in all aspects, so you just waited it out.
"just one coffee?"
you sighed, thinking that he's probably never going to drop it because lee minho always gets what he wants. "you know what, fine."
he shot you a victory smile, finally being able to enjoy your company.
"ugh, can i change my mind?"
"nope, see you at the university café after school!"
little did he know, you planned to be as bland as possible with this little meet up.
as you sat across from him in the coffee shop, you refused to utter a single word. if able, you would just ignore his presence entirely. but he hasn't stopped bothering you.
"why are you so grumpy, y/n?"
"y/n~~"
"do you want me to order you a slice of cake? i'm gonna order you a slice of cake. i bet you're a chocolate cake person."
"no, i don't want cake." he turned back at you as you spoke, eyes filled with amusement as he sat back down.
"finally gonna talk to me?"
you rolled your eyes. "why are you so adamant on taking me out?"
he just shrugged, "i don't know, you just don't seem interested— in anything."
"so what is this, just a conquest? another one in lee minho's checklist so you could say that you've got with every person in school?" your voice laced with venom but he just reverts back to a closed off demeanor making you shift uncomfortably in your seat as you worried whether you crossed the line.
he takes a sip out of his cup, eyes still steely trained at you, before setting it down. "so, do you like cats?"
Tumblr media
you would've laughed in their face if somebody told you that you'd find yourself inside the dorm of the hottest guy on campus, lounging on his couch with him and his three cats whilst you both enjoyed a comfortable silence drowned out by the sounds of purring and a background movie.
but that was exactly where you are now. you didn't even know why you said yes, probably because you felt guilty that you might've struck a chord.
you found yourselves shifting back and forth on the couch whenever his cats would move, not wanting to ruin their peaceful positions; so now, you found yourself mildly snuggling against minho, your head resting on his side as cats just settled themselves on your torso.
you felt him move beside you and then he guides your head towards his lap, a pillow placed on top of it so that you could rest your head. "sorry, they're a bit too clingy."
"pfft, it's fine, they're cute."
"you're cute."
you rolled your eyes once again, turning your head back to the tv as you catch him at the side of your eye just leaning down the couch with his usual victorious grin.
Tumblr media
if somebody told you that you'd find yourself laying underneath the hottest guy on campus, you'd probably think they're crazy.
but that's exactly where you are now.
"are you sure about this?" he gazed down at you, eyes soft and yearning as he trailed his eyes down your figure.
meekly, you nod, intertwining your fingers behind his neck as you pulled his lips to meet yours.
you share a kiss with the man that you've always found annoying— but you feel a sort of peace at the sensation. the heat between two soft lips moving languidly against each other in a fluid motion that brings tingles down minho's side.
but as minho trails his hands all over your body, a slight chill runs down your spine, making you shiver away from his touch.
he breaks the kiss, pecking away the trail of saliva that connects your mouths together as he addresses you with his half-lidded eyes, "hey... are you okay? what's wrong?" his confident demeanor suddenly turning insecure.
you scrunch your eyebrows in worry, mouth opening and closing as you try to find the correct descriptions for your current emotion, "it just.. doesn't feel right?" whatever the right words are, it definitely wasn't that.
in one motion, minho sits up, positioning himself beside you in a safe distance, "i-i'm sorry, we don't have to do this if you don't want to or if i'm doing something wrong—"
you immediately cut him off, eyes wide in guilt as he starts blaming himself "no! it's not you, i swear."
he holds your hands, lacing it with his as he drew soft circles on your skin, assuring you to open up.
"i don't think.. how do i say this.." you tilted your head, clearly struggling but minho's presence beside you made sure that you were nothing but safe. "i don't think i want to have sex."
"that's okay."
"—no, like, at all. ever." at first he pauses for a bit but he slowly nods, realization dawning on his senses.
"i-is that... okay? i mean, do you not like me anymore now?" you couldn't look at him, guilt and shame filling your heart. "i mean, i'm sure there's others who would gladly sleep with you—"
"y/n." his voice hard as he guided your face to look back at him. "i don't want anyone else, i want you."
"b-but.."
"i've always did. i mean, sure, at first i thought you were just some prissy teacher's pet but i like how you have a levelled brain on your head. you challenge me— and not just in the way that you didn't like me immediately like others. but you challenge me in school, you make me want to do my best in studying whenever i see you in class."
your breath hitched at the confession, not knowing what to say knowing how he'd felt.
"i don't think i'd say the same thing. i really hated your guts but—"
"do you like me too?"
hesitantly, you nod.
"then that's enough for me."
"but you don't get it, there's something wrong with me— i don't feel like having sex and isn't that important?"
he moves in a more comfortable sitting position, holding you once again with those same caring eyes that you've never realized was always directed towards you.
"no, y/n. there's nothing wrong with you. it's completely normal and i get that. there's so many other ways to show affection and care towards someone, it's not always about sex. and i can't wait to find out how you would show your love for me." he leans down on the sofa, gazing down at you with a lazy smile.
"hey! i didn't say i love you already."
"oh baby, but you will."

Merthur fits with Lemon boy(season 5 spoilers +s6 Kingdom Come)
(In the last verse I mention events that happen in Merlin Season 6 Kingdom Come, a fan made continuation of Merlin. The spoilers aren’t that bad but I just figured I should but that in)
There once was a bittersweet man and they called him Lemon Boy
Arthur meets Merlin. To me, Merlin always seamed pretty sarcastic, mellow drumatic, low-key edgy, etc... so it fits.
He was growing in my garden and I
But like weeds do he only came and grew back again
The first fight they had all the way back in ep1. Arthur was at first annoyed by Merlin. You could say he thought of him as a weed who needed to be pulled out and discarded. Later, Merlin just keep popping back up. They get into a second fight and then Merlin saves Arthur’s life. Much to their dismay, Uther made Merlin Arthur’s servent.
So I figured this time I might as well let him be
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
Arthur accepts defeat, as Merlin will always be by his side. They start to become friends/friendly with each other.
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
I imagine this is Arthur and Merlin going on adventures with each other and maybe even saving each other’s lives.
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
So I got myself a citrus friend
Arthur and Merlin being bros and getting to know each other. Arthur discovers that Merlin isn’t that bad once you get used to him.
But soon his bitter sweet started to rub off on me
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
Arthur starts to become a better person because Merlin is always there to keep things real and treat Arthur like a bro and not a king/prince.
I found out that my friends are more of the savoury type
And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie
Social norms at the time (*cough* Uther *cough*) prevented Merlin and Arthur from truly being friends and God forbid anything more. Remember in the 4th ep when Uther locked Arthut in the stocks just because he wanted to save Merlin’s life? Yeah.
So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together
Arthur being a tsundere and acting like the only reason him and Merlin are friends is because they were forced to. Arthur I swear to god.
I'll help him plant his seeds and we'll mow the lawn in bad weather
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
So I got myself a citrus friend
[Same as before]
But what if I run out of fertiliser
What if the clouds run out of rain
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer
What if beaches dry of sugar cane
Oh well
Arthur worries that Merlin may die one day. There have been many close calls and Arthur is always completely devastated. He obviously does not want Merlin to die and will protect him at all costs.
The whales start to beach themselves
Remember when Lancelot sacrificed himself? Remember when Will blamed the magic on himself and not Merlin? Yeah.
Tortoise shells tear away from their spines
Pretty much when any character dies and leaves a lasting impact on another. Remember how depressed Arthur was when his father died? And how about when Merlin didn’t smile for three days because Freya died as well.
It happens all the time, it happens all the time
Merlin and Arthur having to come to terms with all the deaths throughout the show. Especially when Arthur died. When ever I lissen to this part I imagine Merlin staring at the lake of Albion as the boat catches fire along with Arthur’s remains.
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
Season 6. Kingdom Come. Arthur rises from the lake and reunites with Merlin. After the circle of fate was all take care of, Merlin and Arthur are finally able to be happy and not have to worry about anything. Most importantly though, they can finally actually be (boy)friends...openly this time.
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
Cause we're the bitterest boys in town
Yeah, we're the bitterest guys around
And now I got myself a citrus friend
Arthur is finally able to express his platonic/romantic love for Merlin. They can now be happy together.
