So I’ve been dealing with some anxiety lately that’s been causing stomach aches and I was wondering if you could write some about Bubba, Nubbins, and Brahms comforting their s/o who’s dealing with a lot of anxiety? Thank you as always <3

I can relate with those anxious bellyaches!💞 sorry if this isn’t all that comforting, as yknow… they’re psycho killers. But hope u kinda enjoy anyway🥹💖

Slashers ‘comfort’ Reader that has anxiety

Includes: Nubbins, Bubba and Brahms

Nubbins Sawyer💖

Nubbins had no idea how to comfort someone. Expect no help on his end. In fact, he found your anxiety amusing. He was one sick puppy

Nubbins found you on his bed, hyperventilating from an anxiety attack. He didn’t know what to do. He shuffled over and sat next to you as you cried into your hands. You looked up at him with big teary eyes, expecting some comfort

Nubbins instead imitated your cries, and tried his best to make his eyes look as cute as yours. He thought you were so adorable when you were like this. So helpless! His favourite look

“Nubbins! That’s not helping!” You scolded, whacking him while trying to contain your tears

Nubbins giggled, then continued to mimic your anxious mannerisms. This was as ‘comforting’ he was going to get. His attempts to soothe you seemed a lot more like teasing than anything

At the end of the day, don’t count on Nubbins comforting you. Especially for anxiety. He had never felt such thing before in his entire life

Bubba Sawyer💖

Oh, god. Seeing you all anxious and panicky made Bubba feel all anxious and panicky! He was trying his best, okay?

Bubba tried to comfort you through gentle touches. He shakily stroked your shoulders, his big hands travelling down your arms. He babbled on some concerned gibberish, desperately trying to stop you from crying

Bubba’s helpless attempts of comfort usually worked though, much to his surprise. His incoherent mumbling stopped, as you cuddled up to him and rested your head on his chest. Seeing you calm down, made him calm down as well

After your crying and his panicking simmered, his bedroom grew silent. Bubba found himself absentmindedly stroking your back, resting his chin on the top of your head. Cuddling with him like this, really helped ease your anxiety

“Thank you, Bubba.” You murmured against his chest

Brahms Heelshire💖

At first, Brahms just thought you were shy like him. But when you began to hyperventilate and cry, he had no idea what to think. Brahms watched through the wall as you had an anxiety attack on your bed. You were breathing way too quick, clutching your heart while tears flowed uncontrollably

Brahms did not want to go out there. He did not have enough social skills or maturity to deal with this. Instead of being nice and comforting you, he continued to stare at you as you had an anxious breakdown

Brahms soon felt guilty though, but still didn’t come out and comfort you. Don’t loose hope yet though...

Brahms traveled through the walls to the kitchen, where he opened the fridge and prepared you a meal he knew you liked. He set the food neatly on a plate, and took it upstairs to your room

After your anxiety attack, your eyes were still watery and your stomach sick. You felt sad that Brahms never came to check up on you, as you knew you were crying quite loud

But as you opened your bedroom door, your eyes softened as you spotted the plate of homemade food at your feet

bono!reader thots (feat. corrina schumi) [also mother’s day edition]

just thinking about bon’s first mother’s day being mick’s gf and how over the months her and corrina have gotten closer and closer with each time they see each other

and she already has susie as a maternal figure and her life and corrina has also become that for bon

and as she’s getting her mother’s day present(s) together for susie, she gets some things for corrina too

and while she’s getting her ducks in a row she’s just this anxious ball of nerves because “what if i'm overstepping and she’s just tolerating me because of mick” when in the back of her head she knows just her own issues rearing its ugly head

and when mick and her finally see corrina on mother’s day she waits until she can pull her to the side and have a private moment together and pulls out her own separate gift bag from mick and as she presents it to her she goes:

“i know we’ve only been close in these past few months, but i just wanted to let you know that you’re one of the best moms i’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. you’re so good to mick and i don’t know if it’s international or not but you’ve also been so good to me and took me into your life with open arms. and i really appreciate that because yeah i have susie but there’s just something so warm and comforting about you. and has been there for me when i needed an extra support to stay upright. i hope i’m half as good a mother as you one day.”

and then goes very panicky and exclaims “DON’T WORRY IM NOT PREGNANT YET. THIS IS NOT HOW I WOULD TELL YOU IF I WAS”

and corrina goes “oh thank you so much kiddo and i love that you feel safe enough with me to tell me this”

then bon subconsciously goes “thanks mum” and before she can correct herself corrina speaks up and says “of course <3, but don’t make me wait too long for grandbabies im not getting much younger now am i?”

and they sit there for a while laughing and sharing stories before mick and gina find them and join almost instantly regretting it because their mom is telling embarrassing childhood stories of them to their newest family member

from that day forward bon calls corrina mom/mum and before long it’s normal to hear bon happily yell “mum!” after looking up from her paperwork and getting up to greet her. it’s only a surprise when bon greats her with a “hi grandma!” instead of the usual greeting and then the whole paddock is in chaos (well, more than it usually is)

(i was going to do a bono-schumi kids mother’s day post but i couldnt quite make anything of that so i pivoted)

☕️

Omg this is so precious!!!!! ❤️❤️

Mick would absolutely melt with their interactions and gina, contrary to what a few ppl would believe, totally LOVED having bon as her sister, so much so she didnt mind sharing corinna with bb.

[gunilslaugh]

Hiii! I have been feeling super anxious lately, and xdh has been a huge comfort. Which makes me wonder if you'd be willing/able to write about how the boys would comfort you when you're feeling overwhelmed/panicky?

Thank you for all your works! You got amazing writing skills!

I'm so sorry to hear that :( I hope that you'll start to feel less anxious 💕

Summary: How Xdinary Heroes react to you being anxious/overwhelmed.

WC:916

photo not mine credits to owner.

Gunil

Your anxiousness has been overbearing lately. Despite your best efforts to manage it on your own, Gunil could tell that you were struggling. That’s why he proposed a relaxing movie night. He bought your favorite snacks and drinks. One of your comfort movies/shows was playing on the t.v. Gunil wrapped the two of you up in a fuzzy blanket. One of his arms stayed around your waist, rubbing it soothingly. The other one was resting on his lap as he reassuringly held your hand. He whispered loving words to you in efforts to help you relax and ease your mind. Gunil also made it clear that you could call him wherever you need, it didn’t matter what he was doing he would come running to you. He would support you and help you best that he could.

Jungsu

Currently you were standing in line at a cafe with Jungsu for a date. The line was a bit crowded and it caused you to feel a bit overwhelmed. Stepping closer to Jungsu in an attempt to calm your nerves a bit. Noticing your movement, Jungsu glanced at you and caught sight of you fidgeting with your hands that were faintly shaking. A frown fell upon his face he moved to stand behind you swaddling you with his arms and rested his chin on your head. He felt a bit better when you relaxed in his embrace.

“Are you ok?” He asked you with concern.

“Yeah the crowd is just a bit overwhelming,” you answered him. Once you got your order and walked over to the table, Jungsu pulled his chair next to yours instead of sitting across from you.

“We can go home if you want,” he suggested.

“No, I'm ok now. I’ve just been a bit more anxious than usual,” you explained.

“Can I do anything?” Jungsu asked sincerely.

“You’re already doing great,” you smiled at him.

Gaon/Jiseok

It was your third stay-in date in a row with Jiseok. Not that he minded, he was just happy to spend time with you, wherever it was. However he couldn’t shake the feeling that you were avoiding going outside, so he decided to ask you about it.

“Y/n, is there any reason why you want to stay in lately?” Jiseok carefully asked you. Putting your phone down, you turned to face Jiseok. 

“My anxiety has been acting up, so it’s easier to be inside,” you revealed. He swears he felt his heart crack a tiny bit. The first thing he thinks of is to just squish you in a loving hug. He reassures you that you guys can have as many stay-in dates that you need, but whenever you feel ready to have an out-the-house date, he’ll be by your side the entire time.

O.de/Seungmin

He pays a lot of attention to you, so he’s quick to notice that you’ve been acting a bit different lately. When you guys are out you stand one step closer than normal to him. You’re always fidgeting with something, your fingers, rings, bracelet, sleeve, hem of your shirt even. The pair of you were currently at your apartment just hanging out. Seungmin went to the kitchen to get you some drinks. He re-entered your room with two mugs in his hand.

“I read that chamomile tea is good for anxiety,” he said as he handed you a mug.

“How did you know?” you questioned him slightly shocked, but the way your heart melted at his kind gesture overrode it.

“What kind of boyfriend would I be if I couldn’t notice how anxious you’ve been lately,” he voiced. He would spend the rest of the day doing whatever he could to help you feel more at ease.

Junhan/Hyeongjun

Hyeongjun could tell that you were acting a bit more on edge lately. He wanted to help you, but wasn’t quite sure how to go about it. At the moment the both of you were on the bus. Heading towards your place after your day out. Hyeonjun noticed that you were imperceptibly shaking. He took out his headphones and put one of them in your ear, playing a playlist of your favorite songs that he created. He also took one of your hands in his and stroked his thumb back and forth. You moved to rest your head on his shoulder, nerves slowly fading away. Even though he never said anything you could tell that he cared and was worried. Because Hyeongjun found a way to make silence say the loudest words. His thoughtful actions expressed his concern along with his comfort.

Jooyeon

Albeit that Jooyeon can actually be quite shy himself when he knows you're feeling anxious he’ll step up. If you’re out at a restaurant he’ll order for you. He’d also cling to you like a koala when you're walking through crowded places to help you feel more secure. If he senses your anxiety getting worse he would immediately take you home. If you tried to convince him that you were fine he would just insist that he was the one who wanted to go home. After arriving back at your home he would drag you to cuddle. Then you would watch videos together on his phone or play a game.You still kinda felt bad for making you guys come back early, but he reassured you that your health was much more important. You were more important than whatever place you traveled to together.

Pentagon - s/o has a panic attack

SFW; gender-neutral reader

anon requested: Could you do a ptg ot9 where they walk in to you having an anxiety/panic attack? I’ve been having them a lot lately and I know they’d be so comforting 🥹

a/n: tysm for your request ❤️ I'm very sorry to hear about your panic attacks. I hope these can give you a little comfort!

I went for a scenario where it's the first time they are with you while having a panic/anxiety attack, since I'd assume that with time they would adjust their reaction to match your individual needs as best as possible. I hope you'll like it!

Always feel free to stop by in my ask box to talk or to request something else❤️

Masterlist

Jinho

Jinho tries to find out as quickly as possible what you need and how to get it. If you're responsive he'll straight up ask how to help you in the situation. If you aren't able to talk to him, he tries to figure it out in different ways, but he'll still talk to you. Might try to get you back by telling you basic information, like the date and time, the place you're at and most importantly the fact that he's there with you.

Hui/Hoetaek

He's probably dying to comfort you with physical touch, like giving you a tight hug, holding your hand or rubbing your back. If he knows you're okay with it in situations like this he does just that, maybe softly talk to you too. He might just tear up a little because it pains him so much to see you like this.

Hongseok

Hongseok would be really good at dealing with this kind of situation. He stays calm and talks you through breathing exercises or other coping mechanism he knows can help with panic attacks. He will give you a big bear hug after you calmed down a little (and if you're okay with that).

Shinwon

I know Shinwon is a scaredy cat and all that but I'm convinced he would handle this pretty well. He doesn't get anxious or panics about this. Instead he crouches down in front of you and starts shifting your attention towards something else. Shinwon probably tells you something incredibly trivial, like details about his last trip to your local grocery store. But because it's so trivial, it's also easy for you to follow his words and calm down.

Yeo One/Changgu

Changgu tries to make you focus on soothing sounds. If there are any sounds or noises he knows you like or find calming, he makes/plays them for you while quietly narrating what he's doing. He looks at you with the sweetest smile once you calmed down a little because and he's so proud of you for making it through that.

Yanan

I think he's a little panicky himself. Yanan wants to help so much but he's also scared to do something wrong. Is he supposed to talk to you? Call someone? Can he touch you? He doesn't know so he's a little hesitant. Eventually he settles on sitting next to you and timidly talking to you, maybe rubbing your back or upper arm if you seem okay with that. A little later, maybe a day after, he'll ask you to tell him what you need from him in situations like these so he can do a better job next time.

Yuto

He's the quiet type, not really saying much, but making sure you know he's there for you. If you allow it he hugs you or holds your hand. If you have the need to talk or cry, he listens calmly, making small hums and noises from time to time to show that he's paying attention and to reassure you that he's there for you.

Kino/Hyunggu

Hyunggu is very sweet and gentle, asking you to focus on his voice and praising you for doing so well when you nod or reply. He paints a picture with his words for you, making you imagine a meadow or the ocean or a place he knows you love. He praises you even more once you've calmed down a little.

Wooseok

Another one who feels a little flustered and helpless about it. Wooseok wants to hug you and talk to you but it probably ends up being a little clumsy. He might just give it a quick google search because he so desperately wants to do the right thing to help you out. Later on when you've calmed down again, he'll communicate how helpless he felt. He doesn't want you to feel guilty about it and makes sure you know that. But he does ask you for pointers on what to do should it happen again.

[aristocratic-otter]

I haven't done one of these in a while! Thank you for the tags, @best--dress, @alexalexinii, @artsyunderstudy, @nausikaaa, @nightimedreamersghost, @iamamythologicalcreature, I'm so glad to see you're all able to get some words/art out at this incredibly busy time!

With no further ado, here's some snippets!

From Chapter 3/4 of The Heart In The Well:

I hear various grumbling and fidgeting sounds, and then I hear Snow slurping up more water from the sides of the well. I ignore it. My thirst for water is currently secondary to my thirst for blood, and it’s taking everything in me to rein in my need to pierce Snow’s flesh with my fangs. I don’t want to open my mouth for any reason right now. 

Until Simon says the stupidest thing of all. 

“You can have my blood if you need it.”

From Saving Simon Snow:

Before he can say or do anything else, there’s a thunder of footsteps on the stairs, and, a moment later, Simon skids around the corner, looking hunted. I snicker at how much more explosively Simon enters a room than Baz does, even now, when he’s got no magic. 

He looks wild. He’s wide-eyed and panting, and his curls are flying every which way. Thank Merlin Baz managed to wake him up from his swoon, or whatever it was. He seems unharmed, just scattered and anxious.

He fails to hide a flinch when he sees [redacted], and then he slinks over to the chair on the farthest side of the table from [redacted], not coincidentally partially behind Baz. The better to duck and cover, I think, amused. 

From Snow Fox

“Are you truly well, love?” he asks, looking into my eyes, his brow lowered in concern. “You’ve not caught the fevers rife in your camp?”

“I haven’t,” I sigh. “I’m just tired. Too many late nights, too many worries.”

“I wish I were there with you. I wish I could be more help,” he frets. 

“You’re where I need you,” I remind him.

From Stars, Flowers, and Children,

Someone’s shaking my shoulder roughly. Oh fuck, it’s Davy, he’s caught me! I sit up abruptly, shrieking with everything in me. It takes a moment for the voice to pierce through my panic. 

“Baz! Baz! It’s ok, it’s me! It’s just me, Simon!” My eyes manage to peel themselves open and I’m looking into bright blue eyes; Simon’s eyes.

For all that he’s trying to calm me down, his voice sounds nearly as panicky as I’m feeling. 

I do stop screaming, though it takes me a while to catch my breath. Finally, my chest still heaving, I gasp out, “Why’d you wake me?”

Simon looks nearly as unnerved as I feel. “Davy’s not back,” he says

From what I'm tentatively calling TikTok Dancer

“Come to San Diego with us!” I blurt. I can see his face close off immediately, so I bumble on hurriedly, hoping to avert the ‘no’ I sense coming. “You can share the bus with me. The girls live in the dorms during the school year. And we can film together. I can take you to visit [redacted] all the time. What do you say, Simon?” 

It’s the first time I’m using the stage name he gave himself and he notices. He looks up at me sharply. I’ve always been careful to address him by the name he gave me, Snow, because it’s only respectful to use a person’s real name. The girls call him Simon, but they don’t know any better. 

I’m calling him Simon now, because I’m making a point. Everything he’s built this summer, everything we’ve built together, is tied to his new name, his new identity. If he comes with me, he’s committing to a [redacted] life, where the [redacted] is a day trip, not his home. He’s committing to a completely new lifestyle. A new life. 

He’s committing himself to the dance.

[dumb-doll-lips]

So I’m have the other set of keys for the doors now and i just was trying them both on the door I have to get through to do laundry. And the couldn’t open the door. I had someone else try the key I had had w me and he couldn’t open the door. The next logical step is writing into maintenance or something. But it has me feeling like so anxious. Like just started feeling like pretty panicky and stuff when I realized that’s the only next step i have if I want to be able to do my laundry here.

Part of it is that it’s been an issue for so long now that if like something changed at some point it’s like a give away that I’ve been failing for so long. Or like what if it is just me a problem too. Like even tho I had someone try the door too, other people clearly are going through it bc I’ve seen lights change on and off and packages show up inside.

Like dumb feeling hot has super made it easier for me than it was before to ask for help. But this isn’t like asking for help from someone I know, who won’t make me feel bad. This is like a big unknown. And it’s hard for me to not feel like this is me a problem, if it’s not it’s like a me problem in the way that I’ve done nothing that’s actually helped w fixing it for so long. I think I’m like being scared of feeling worse about it. It seems like it’s actually gonna be a request to the leasing office probably too which is def scarier bc that’s so far appeared to just all be women. And I never feel like as safe or comfortable seeming stupid around women. So it’s like feeling really intimidating.

[pluggedpencil]

please may I just chill for a few minutes I genuinely feel like I could go into heart failure with how anxious and panicky I’ve been

[leclerced]

Okay maybe if I’ll talk about it it’ll be better. So I take driving lessons right. And I know that I need time to adjust, to learn and all that bs. But I feel like I’m so shit at driving. And because I feel like that the lessons are a bit anxiety inducing? I’m an anxious and a bit panicky person in general so it’s not like these feeling are new. But at the same time it’s not fun because I stress when I drive and I make stupid mistakes. It’s frustrating because it seems like a broken cycle. I make mistakes, I stress, I’m anxious about the lessons, I stress, I make mistakes. On repeat. It’s not even the driving (frankly I think I quite like it) that’s the worst part. Just the learning you know what I mean? That somehow I’m not this super human that just knows how to do things. I’m an idiot that makes tons of mistakes and expects to pass my practical exam at some point

driving stresses me out too! it sucks having to learn, i’m generally someone who picks things up quickly and there is a bit of a disconnect with driving. i’ve been in car crashes and knew people who died in them, so i have a lot of anxiety in cars in general. i hope driving will make me feel more in control and less anxious but considering i don’t have a license yet, not working. everyone i know says it becomes second nature, it’s all instinctive once you learn. i think your problem may be that you’re psyching yourself out, assuming you will make a mistake so you do make a mistake. try to stay positive, think about how when this is over you will have freedom to drive wherever you want !! just keep your mind off of stressful thoughts ab making a mistake next time you have a lesson, think positively about how you’re gonna ace the lesson next time instead of overthinking every mistake you could make!

[x0401x]

I still haven't caught up with Tsurune ss2 yet but from what I've heard so far there are no meaningful Masaki/Minato interaction? :((

We got, like, two moments so far but I think calling them “meaningful” is kind of a stretch because these scenes lasted for only a few minutes and there wasn’t anything particularly remarkable in either of them.

I did express my concern about that when the season had just started, but at this point, it’s safe to say the anime is very much ignoring their relationship. It’s receiving even less attention than in the first season, if that’s even possible.

Actually, it’s not even just their relationship. It’s also them as characters. They’re barely there.

Minato shows up for little time in most episodes and never leaves an impression in any of them. Heck, we don’t even have half of an episode centered on him. He’s just never given the spotlight for long. And I did commend KyoAni for allowing him to have a wide range of facial expressions in this season, but I feel like he still doesn’t have a wide range of emotions. The novel gives us many sides of Minato, both for positive and negative feelings. Angry, panicky, frustrated, annoyed and envious are all things that go into the book. But in the anime, we just don’t get any of this. The most we have is him being exasperated and anxious. That’s all.

Masaki is a whole different can of worms. He’s mostly there to look good. KyoAni is still trying really hard to disassociate him from the kids as much as possible so that they’ll be able to sell him as eye candy for female audiences. He’s just there for the Adult Man Appeal TM for a good chunk of his screen time.

I feel like I’ve have barely seen these two this season. The impression I get is that the director just isn’t invested in them, especially Minato. I’ve said this before when talking about episode 10, but I feel the need to say it again: this story is simply not interested in its own protagonist. It’s been trying to seek depth in literally any other character from the very beginning of S1.

But on the other hand, perhaps KyoAni does this because of how deeply interconnected Minato and Masaki are. Most of their inner conflicts and personality traits come to light through each other in the novel. When you try to separate them, these conflicts and traits have no way to manifest. The result is, they lose their essence as characters.

[mr-craig]

Me: Becomes fixated on specific writers / performers / filmmakers to the point that I explore their work deeply, often methodically and probably keeping track of my progress in list form. (Hey, wanna see my Discworld lists?) Makes an entire album where all the songs are inspired by my special interests. Has been keeping a spreadsheet of every film I watch since 2012, and every book I read since 2019. Eats the same thing for breakfast and lunch every day for years at a time before suddenly getting sick of those things and switching to something else to have every day for years at a time. Can’t bear when my clothes are even slightly uncomfortable, and will fidget with them if they’re not right. Can’t bear unwanted noise and will use music on headphones to drown it out when it starts to make me feel panicky. Gets anxious about a change in my circumstances even if that change is for the better. Feels uncomfortable making eye contact. Feels uncomfortable letting others see me doing anything I can’t explain or “justify” because what if they perceive me as weird? Has many neurodiverse who I relate to better than neurotypical people.

Also me: Only just realising I’m probably autistic.

(To be fair, another common autistic trait is being slow to process things because we need to examine ALL the data and not jump to unfounded conclusions, so I like to think I’ve just been really autistic about my autism.)

[frankie-the-bad-guy-lupelli]

youre like a calmer version of cool

Oh, this one’s funny. Anon I am such a panicky guy you don’t even know. I mean I guess I haven’t been as anxious lately, but honestly I think I’ve just exposure therapied myself with constant involvement with weird crap.

[youreonyourown-kid]

Okay so lots of people at work have been let go, and I don’t really have a back up plan atm and the job market is so shit right now that I freaked out. I had a quick meeting with my supervisor, and of course she has to be loyal to the company, but she really did make me feel better and said they weren’t letting me go and someone else had recently quit so she double checked to make sure I WANTED to stay.

This is all great. The not great part is me going on my lunch walk before hand and having my first ever real panic attack! It was scary but honestly kind of fascinating? Like I’ve always been anxious but don’t have full on panic attacks, I call it a low grade panic attack (not a doctor so idk if this is an actual thing) where I get incredibly panicky and my breathing gets shallow, but I can still breath pretty easy if I just take a few breaths. TODAY I feel like was an actual panic attack, cause my throat felt like it was actually closing and it was scary. Like when I’ve heard others talk about actual panic attacks they’ll say they had no idea what was going on and literally thought were going to die. I kinda knew I was spiraling and what was happening, so like I knew I wasn’t going to die, but it felt like I might. It was so bad, I still feel kinda shakey 5 hours later. It also feels like I should probably eat something but I just feel like I can’t rn.
