A good sekai can’t be made alone.
The wonderland sekai was obviously manifested by Tsukasa alone, there’s no arguing against that. However I think a lot of people understate the connection the rest of WxS has on it - whether it’s due to Tsukasa’s strong bonds with emu/nene/rui or them actually influencing the sekai, they do have an impact on it. After all:
Rui: (For Tsukasa-kun, his friends’ happiness is his own happiness.)
(Pandemonium - TL Tsukasa’s #3 fan)
Additionally, the first time Tsukasa experiences anything to do with the sekai (that we know of), Miku appears to already know of emu/nene/rui despite Tsukasa having never met any of them before.
KAITO: Also, if you ever find this SEKAI somewhat nostalgic, please...hold on to those feelings.
Tsukasa: Nostalgic? Why would I find it nostalgic?
Miku: Come with everyone else next time, Tsukasa! Let's all sing and dance in a show together☆
Miku: I'm sure everyone else has the same feelings as you too!
(WxS Main story - Opening)
Rui:
Rui’s impact is probably the easiest to see, given that the wonderlands sekai has to spoonfeed him his own emotions in the form of an easily digestible conflict one of the plushies is experiencing.
There’s the disagreement between the kitty and doggie plushie in Wonder Halloween:
Len: I organized a show for the plushies, but they all started fighting again!
Doggie Plushie: I want to make the show better! Why aren’t you letting me?!
Kitty Plushie: But you’ll get hurt if you do something like that!
(Wonder Halloween)
Kitty Plushie: I want to be friends, but I'm worried that I'll say something weird and end up being an outcast... That would hurt me more than being alone...
Kitty Plushie: That's why I...I just can't bring myself to speak my mind...
KAITO: Ah… you’re afraid of being alone.
KAITO: But you shouldn’t worry, because you already have a friend right here, don’t you?
Kitty Plushie: I do?
Doggie Plushie: …
KAITO: Doggie's always trying to get you to speak up because it wants to know what's on your mind. This means that doggie is concerned about you.
KAITO: That also means that it wants to get to know you better, don't you agree?
(Wonder Halloween)
The fact that Tsukasa had no idea why Rui was holding back in Wonder Halloween but the concerns of the kitty plushie mirror emotions Rui himself wasn’t even aware he was feeling is probably the strongest case for “yes wxs themselves impact the sekai as opposed to it being a result of their impact on Tsukasa and his feelings about it. KAITO even mentions this connection:
KAITO: Yes. At the time, I felt like Rui’s solitude was somewhat connected to the kitty plushie.
KAITO: That’s why I wanted kitty to realize that it had a friend who was concerned about it.
(Kaito’s Wonder Halloween 4*)
The situation with the birdie plushie could have just been a coincidence, given that its struggles aren’t too similar to Rui’s, but I think that with the context of Wonder Halloween you could make the case that it’s another instance of Rui influencing the sekai.
Birdie Plushie: But I can do it!
Birdie Plushie: I don’t care if no one else can! I’ll do it by myself!
[…]
Rui: As much as they want to do a show, no one else is willing to participate…
Rui: That sounds like the old me. I wish I could help out somehow…
(Curtain Call)
On the surface that doesn’t seem to have much to do with Rui + the Arkland offer, however:
Birdie Plushie: *Sob* If only someone would help me...
Miku: Bird…
Birdie Plushie: No! Now's not the time for that!!
Miku: …!
Birdie Plushie: I said I'm gonna do this show! And only I can do it because it's too dangerous for the others!
Birdie Plushie: I have to do it! I have to show everyone just how much fun it is to fly!
Birdie Plushie: It's so sad that only I know what it's like to fly. So, I'm gonna show everyone how great it is!
Birdie Plushie: I wanna show them how great it feels to rip through the air! I wanna tell them about how fun it is when you become so light as you fly really high into the air!
(Miku’s Curtain Call 2*)
I think there’s probably some parallels that can be drawn between the birdie plushie’s mindset and Rui’s mindset as a kid in RMD and the mindset he probably carried with him when he began doing solo shows.
Little Rui: Everyone, what’s the matter?
Classmate A: Rui, doing such dangerous things all of a sudden is really strange, you know…
Little Rui: Eh?
Classmate B: That’s right! We can’t do those kind of things!
Little Rui: B-but…!
[flashback]
Nene’s Mom: H…hold on, what are the two of you doing!? You’re dripping wet!
Rui’s Mom: Just when I was wondering what you wanted to do with a vinyl pool… Hey, Rui! Don’t put Nene in danger!
[end flashback]
Little Rui: (Certainly, it might be dangerous, but…!)
[flashback]
Little Nene: It’s fine! I want to do it!
Little Nene: I’m the little mermaid, so in order to meet the prince, I have to swim!
[end flashback]
Little Rui: (The scene I came up with that time, it really improved because of that… and Nene was super pleased too!)
Little Rui: (Together, with everyone, just like that—)
Classmate A: Rui, why do you want to do something that dangerous?
Little Rui: — I want to create an interesting show!
Little Rui: If we made an interesting show together, I’m sure everyone will—!
Classmate A: I can’t do that just because it looks interesting!
(RMD - TL Arvon Oven)
Regardless of how connected the birdie plushie’s issues and Rui’s issues in Curtain Call are, the birdie plushie’s situation still leads to him having a realization:
Birdie Plushie: And… it was kinda lonely.
Rui: What?
Miku: Yeah, I bet…
Miku: Putting on fun shows is a really wonderful thing…
Miku: But it’s gotta feel so lonely when the people you care about aren’t there with you.
Rui: Oh.
Rui: (That’s it…)
Rui: (Despite already having an answer ready, the reason I’m still dwelling on this is because…)
Rui: (I still want to…)
Rui: (I still want to keep doing shows with them.)
(Curtain Call)
Also, for a lack of anywhere better to put it, Luka is sleepiest when everyone around her is happy:
MEIKO: This is somewhat unrelated, but I think I've figured out when Luka tends to fall asleep...!
KAITO: You have?
MEIKO: I think so. She seems to feel sleepiest when everyone around her is smiling.
MEIKO: When they're having fun or enjoying themselves, she starts falling asleep.
Rui: I see...
MEIKO: The opposite seems to be true as well since she's almost never sleepy when something is bothering someone.
MEIKO: She'll attentively listen to what someone has to say.
(Luka’s doll festival 3*)
And one of the first instances we see that confirms this is when Rui is struggling in the cheer squad event.
Luka: The thing is... I haven't been able to sleep much lately.
Luka: Zzz... See? I just can't seem to fall asleep.
MEIKO: What?! But you've always been able to fall into a deep slumber given ten seconds!
MEIKO: Why didn't you tell me this sooner? Are you okay? Do you not feel well?
Luka: No, I don't think I'm sick or anything.
Luka: However... I've been getting this strange feeling in my chest whenever I try to fall asleep.
MEIKO: A strange feeling...? Hmm... You certainly don't seem sick or unwell…
MEIKO: Is something on your mind by chance?
Luka: On my mind?
Luka: Oh…
[flashback]
Luka: Hmm... Something you want to say, but can't... That's a tricky one...
Luka: But you told us about it, didn't you, Rui...?
Rui: Well…
[End flashback]
MEIKO: I see… You’re worried about Rui.
(Luka’s Cheer Squad 4*)
& then after everything goes well and Rui has a good time:
Luka: <Zzz...♪ Zzz...♪>
MEIKO: <Hey, Luka! Wake up!>
Luka: <Mhm?>
MEIKO: <Don't give me that... We were definitely about to lose you there. What happened to you having trouble falling asleep?>
Luka: <Hehe. But it looks like everyone’s having so much fun.>
[…]
KAITO: <Hehe. You have that look on your face, Rui. I'm looking forward to what you have in store for us during the cheering competition.>
MEIKO: <Hehe. You seem just as happy, Luka.>
Luka: <Yes, that's because...>
Luka: <It looks like Rui found a way to break that spell.>
(Luka’s Cheer Squad 4*)
Off the top of my head, Luka is also the one to speak to Nene when she’s thinking about having to leave WxS behind one day (Mermaid Admiration) and she helps Meiko comfort Rui during his gleaming stars card story - both instances occur at night (prime sleeping hours).
& then of course there’s his chapters in the WxS WLE, which includes a bunch of Zombie Plushies that mirror Rui’s conflicts in Wonder Halloween and RMD.
Zombie Plushies: We can tell you’re just pretending to be friends! Deep down, you’re probably scared and disgusted by us too!
[…]
Zombie Plushies: We’ll never fit in with them anyway…
Rui: …! (Never fit in with them, huh…)
[…]
Rui: When I look at them… I remember how things used to be.
(WxS WLE, Rui’s section - TL Haruka’s penguin)
Rui: I was the same a long time ago... I gave up on fitting in with anyone.
[...]
Rui: If they don't understand me, that just can't be helped, if they disagree with the way I think, that just can't be helped... I would think like that.
Rin: Rui-kun...
Rui: - in reality, I really did want to put on a show with someone else. But people didn't understand the shows I was making. On a subconscious level, I convinced myself it wasn't going to work out and gave up on the idea.
(WxS WLE, Rui’s section - TL Haruka’s penguin)
Nene:
As a disclaimer, emu and nene’s sections will be shorter because they have self awareness wrt their emotions & therefore don’t need the wxs sekai’s help to puzzle things out with plushies. said fondly. there are less examples to pull for them. For no specific reason.
The virtual singers all adore emu/nene/rui and I dislike the implication that they show blatant favoritism to Tsukasa just because he made the sekai (which is a take I’ve seen quite a few times.) Just look at Emu’s relationship with Miku, Nene’s relationship with Rin, or Rui’s relationship with Len.
One of the best examples that proves my point is this conversation between Nene and Miku:
Nene: Okay, well... I've been wondering about this for some time...
Nene: This world was created based on Tsukasa's feelings, right?
Nene: You and KAITO have been inviting us here to see your shows, so that Tsukasa would remember what his true feelings were, I guess...?
Miku: Yup, that’s correct.
Nene: So this is what I don't get...
Nene: Tsukasa's already discovered his true feelings, and I'm just performing in the same troupe as him so...
Nene: Why do you and KAITO care about me at all?
Miku: Hehe, that's simple! It's because we want to see you blossom as an actress!
Nene: Huh… that’s it?
Nene: But you do so much for me and encourage me every time I visit...
Nene: It's not that I'm worried about Tsukasa getting annoyed with me getting so much support from you, but I feel like you're spoiling me with this being his SEKAI and all...
Miku: We’re absolutely not, Nene!
Miku: And besides, you have a connection to SEKAI too!
Miku: Tsukasa's wish of bringing joy to everyone with your shows is also your wish!
Nene: Oh…
Miku: Tsukasa also needs you, Emu and Rui to create the shows he dreams about!
Miku: You can't make great shows alone after all!
Miku: Don't you think so too, Nene? Don't you need your friends to create really special performances?
(Miku’s On This Holy Night I Sing 4*)
Miku specifically points out that the rest of WxS *are* connected to the Wonderlands sekai, not just because of their relationship with Tsukasa, but also because they share the same dreams.
Her chapters in the WxS WLE have a Turtle Plushie that reflects her previous issues with stage fright, so there’s also a case to be made that Nene’s struggles are capable of being reflected in the plushies like Rui’s are:
Turtle plushie B: … That one’s always over there. Even though it’s afraid to get in the water… I guess it can’t seem to give up.
Nene: Can’t seem to give up… What do you mean?
Turtle plushie B: it always used to say “my dream is to carry someone on my back, but —
Turtle plushie B: A while ago, there was a terrible storm, and this river flooded over. After seeing that, it became completely terrified of going in the water.
Luka: Is that right…
Nene: (… It became terrified…)
[…]
Nenerobo: … Is something the matter, Nene?
Nene: Um… I was just thinking about that turtle.
Nene: Somehow, I can understand how it feels…
Nene: When I was too scared to do anything, I also had that feeling of being unable to give up.
(WxS WLE event, Nene’s section - TL haruka’s penguin)
Emu:
Notably, Emu has a lot of similarities to WxS Miku in both personality and speech. There’s also something to be said about the Wonderland’s Sekai being an amusement park - something Emu has always big connection with, but Tsukasa didn’t until he began working at PXL. I think that’s fitting. Emu was present when Tsukasa discovered Untitled on his phone, and she was also the one to actually press play.
In a grander sense, without Emu pulling him for the wonder stage after he flopped in his audition, Tsukasa not only would not have remembered his true feelings but also would not have had the many opportunities to grow closer to achieving his dream he’s had as a part of WxS.
Just like Nene and Rui, some of her issues are reflected in a plushie during the WxS WLE:
Emu: What’s the matter?
Leon: Ah, um… you might laugh at me, but…
Leon: One day… I’d like to fly in the sky with Phoenix.
[…]
Emu: That’s… a suuuuper wonderful dream!
Leon: Eh?
Emu: Flying in the sky with Phoenix… somehow, even listening about it makes me excited too!
Miku: Miku too, Miku too!
Leon: T… thank you very much.
Leon: But… a dream like that, it wouldn’t ever come true, huh
Emu: Eh? Why?
Leon: I mean, Phoenix is rarely seen… and I’m not a soft toy bird, so flying in the sky is impossible.
Leon: And besides — everyone around me tells me I can’t ever accomplish it.
Emu: Ah…
Leon: …Even I myself know that it won’t come true. I’m sorry, please forget everything I just said!
Emu: Leon-kun…
Emu: (…There was a time where I, too, thought “maybe it won’t come true,” huh)
[flashback]
Shousuke: Emu, if you want to look at dreams that much, then look at them yourself. Don’t involve us any further!
[end flashback]
Emu: (My big brothers, too, had said “don’t just keep spouting on about dreams”…)
(WxS WLE, Emu’s section - TL Arvon Oven)
But I think it’s especially interesting that the plushie that parallels her is the same plushie that parallels Tsukasa. Her importance to WxS is inarguable:
Rui: Indeed. If it weren't for you, Emu, none of us would be here today.
(SOAD)
Tsukasa: Emu, listen!
Tsukasa: Your “ability to dream” is an absolutely essential part of Wonderlands×Showtime!
Emu: huh?
Nene: H-He's right...! We've been able to do what we have because you never stop dreaming.
Rui: If anything, we wouldn't be here right now if it weren't for big dreamer, Emu.
Rui: Even when it was all run down, weren't you the one who wanted to bring smiles and laughter back to the Wonder Stage more than anybody else?
Rui: Your dream gave us a place where we could belong.
[…]
Rui: Simply put, Emu, you're the engine that drives us all. You have this remarkable ability to turn reality on its head...
(Popping in My Heart)
So I don’t think it would be a stretch to say she also had a massive impact on the way the Wonderlands Sekai.
Tsukasa*:
*Well. This part is sort of about Tsukasa. More so about his bond with his friends.
I think Tsukasa would be the first to say that Emu, Nene, and Rui are very connected to the Wonderlands sekai. Tsukasa even considers the sekai’s song as WxS’s song, not his own.
Tsukasa: That's why, Kaito, would you let us sing the song [The World Hasn’t Even Started Yet] that was born from our feelings once more?
Rui: Oh? I heard that song and Wonderland SEKAl were born from your feelings, though...
Tsukasa: Well, in truth, it seems to be that way, but...
Tsukasa: Even with the help of Miku, KAITO, and the others, I would not have been able to face SEKAl or remember my true feelings if I had not met all of you.
Tsukasa: That's why I think that song was born from our feelings and not just my own!
(JP sekai anniversary live show)
And it’s true that he wouldn’t have remembered his true feelings without WxS, although KAITO suggests that he was aware of them somewhere deep down.
Nene: This place is made from Tsukasa's feelings, right?
Nene: I would have expected a place like that to have a loud and conspicuous self-proclaimed star who's just like him...
Nene: Everyone here takes part in shows, but nobody tries to claim to be a star the way he does. I wonder why?
Emu: It must be because everyone in this SEKAI is a star♪
Nene: Everyone is a star? How does that work?
Nene: Remember how he was like before? Back then, it felt like he always wanted to be the one to stand out the most.
KAITO: Well... I would say that Emu's thinking is actually quite accurate.
[…]
KAITO: I'm sure that somewhere deep inside, Tsukasa always knew a lone star couldn't shine brightly or do a show by himself.
KAITO: A good show is the product of many people who work hard to fill different roles.
KAITO: Each one of them has to shine in their given positions.
KAITO: A real star can only shine brightly when his companions do the same with a smile. He must have felt that somehow.
(KAITO initial 3*)
Even if he was aware of his true feelings subconsciously, up until he actually remembers the origin of his dream, the only people who are consciously following something aligned with his true feelings are the rest of WxS.
Tsukasa: I only decided to become a star because I wanted to be like the stars there, who made me and Saki so happy.
Tsukasa: But at some point I forgot about all that, and all I cared about was making successful shows and becoming a star...
Tsukasa: How could I have…
[flashbacks]
[Nene through nenerobo]: I hope our audience enjoys the play.
Rui: Well then. Let's work together to put on some unbeatable shows!
Emu: It's my dream to have people come to see a show here at this stage and love it!
[End flashbacks]
Tsukasa: …
Tsukasa: They’re the real stars, not me…
(WxS Main story - the feeling that day)
You know how Tsukasa had to understand Torpe and Rio to recognize parts of himself? The main story is sort of like that, but instead of a character in a play it’s Emu/Nene/Rui, and instead of having a breakthrough that improves his acting it’s Tsukasa recognizing that he was being a huge dick. Anyways.
The sekai’s expansion in the WxS WLE is stated by KAITO to have some relation to Tsukasa’s own feelings:
Tsukasa: For sure. I mean, how is it even possible for such place to even show up here?
KAITO: … Indeed, I can't say for sure myself either.
KAITO: But I think it's somehow connected with Tsukasa-kun's feelings.
[…]
KAITO: That's right. This SEKAI is born from your feelings, right?
KAITO: That's why, if there is a change in those feelings, it's possible for the SEKAl to be influenced and changed as well.
(WxS WLE, Opening - TL Tsukasa’s #3 fan)
And I think it’s pretty clear that this shift in feelings involves the rest of WxS as well, given that
1) Their signature colors are all over the boat
2) Their quest to get to find the Phoenix (to get the map. so they can go to star island.) required WxS to encounter Plushies that were reflections of themselves. He needed the rest of WxS to find the Phoenix, just like he needs the rest of WxS with him to chase his dream.
Rui: I can't help but think there seems be a connection between that island and the show we were a part of.
Luka: That does seem to be the case~ But I wonder what all of that means~...?
KAITO: …This is just my guess, but...
KAITO: It's possible that this ship has made progress on its own journey as well.
KAITO: Just like Tsukasa-kun and everyone, navigating through each island, to steadily make your way towards Star Island.
Tsukasa: This ship...... is just like us?
KAITO: Yes. Perhaps this ship itself is a manifestation of Tsukasa-kun's current feelings and thoughts.
Tsukasa: My feelings…
Tsukasa: (This ship has traveled to numerous islands, forging its path towards the stars..... And surely, its journey will only continue from here on out.)
Tsukasa: (Indeed, it is just like me. I've come this far, and have been non-stop pursuing my dream of becoming a star.)
Tsukasa: (Has my desire to pursue my dream taken the form of a ship....?)
Tsukasa: (No, that's not quite right.... I couldn't have made it this far solely on my own)
Tsukasa: (It was thanks to meeting Emu and everyone, and putting on countless shows together. It's because everyone was by my side that I was able to make it this far)
Tsukasa: (If that’s the case…)
Tsukasa: … That’s it!
Emu: Wassup, Wassup!? Tsukasa-kun, did you figure something out?
Tsukasa: Yeah, this place is probably…
Tsukasa: It is my … "Aim for Stardom, and together with my friends, we will embark on our journey of growth to many places" aspiration.

Wednesday Addams x F!Reader
• Reader is about to leave for work. Wednesday asks her if she's forgotten anything, and Reader gives her a kiss. Wednesday turns red and opens her hand to reveal Reader's keys/wallet/etc., saying
'I meant this, but it's appreciated.' Or smt like that!
forgetting something ?
Pairing: Wednesday Addams X fem!reader
Words: 4k
Warning: fluffy
Author notes: I've received a lot of requests, I'll try to do them all!
Happy reading
"Love, what's the password for your phone?" I ask curiously as my eyes glance at the smartphone in my hand.
I found myself in Ophelia Hall in Wednesday's room with Enid, wanting to spend some time with my girlfriend. Enid was doing Things' manicure while sharing some gossip about some outcasts at school. Meanwhile, Wednesday Addams was making the most of her writing time.
Ignoring me.
The tapping of the keyboard abruptly ceases and Wednesday slowly turns towards me. Her brown eyes turn cold and dark as they meet Enid's, who visibly trembles in the face of that icy, penetrating intensity.
"Things, I'll finish later..." Enid whispers, her nervous smile betraying the fear inspired by Wednesday's gaze.
Without saying another word, Enid jumps up from her bed and hastily exits the room. The door slams behind her, resonating in the silent air as Wednesday watches her pass with an impassive expression, lips pressed in a subtle smile of satisfaction.
"How many times have I told you not to scare her?" I say with a small smile on my lips, and Wednesday looks at me without batting an eyelid.
"I didn't scare her," her voice is calm and controlled, without any hint of remorse or concern.
"You did," I sigh at her comment while absentmindedly playing with her phone.
"As you wish," Wednesday replies calmly, showing no particular emotion.
I smile shyly at her response.
"I told you not to use vulgar nicknames in front of others and you keep doing it," Wednesday justifies herself, looking at me curiously.
I raise an eyebrow in confusion.
"Vulgar?" I ask, feeling puzzled.
Wednesday nods timidly, without a hint of a smile on her lips.
I sigh loudly.
"Anyway... Could you tell me the password?" I ask again, wanting to change the subject to avoid ruining the atmosphere.
Wednesday tilts her head to the side and scrutinizes me with her gaze.
We've been together for a month, but I don't know if I'll ever get used to her quirks.
"My favorite plant" Wednesday replies in a monotone voice.
"Of course" I reply sarcastically as I type in 'Belladonna.' The phone unlocks, and I smile as I see the background: me and Wednesday embracing during the Poe Cup. The brunette had a stoic look while she look at me smile at the camera.
"Nice background," I say teasingly and Wednesday rolls her eyes at my comment.
"I know," she replies monotone.
I could see a small smile threatening to emerge at any moment.
"But don't you have any games?" I ask disappointedly, and Wednesday stares intensely at me.
"I barely use it to write to you," she justifies herself, and I nod understandably.
Wednesday and technology were two completely different things and couldn't fit in the same sentence.
"So you only have WhatsApp?" I ask curiously, looking at Wednesday.
"You're distracting me unnecessarily," Wednesday mutters annoyed by my questions. She turns her back on me and starts writing her story again.
"Thanks, Wed" I say sarcastically, and Wednesday continues to press the keys of the typewriter ignoring me.
"Why am I with her, I don't know," I mutter to myself, turning my gaze to her phone. I scroll through some pages and look at the apps.
I choice YouTube.
"Because you love me," Wednesday replies loudly without looking at me "and anyway, I can hear you, be careful," she adds in a cold voice.
Was that a threat?
"Right" I reply aloud.
I start searching for what interests my girlfriend. Hundreds of horror stories and interviews of real murders, true photos, and thousands of hypotheses about monsters, unsolved murders, and much more.
Creepy but Wednesday's style.
"Y/n?" I raise my head from the phone and turn my attention to Wednesday who had once again interrupted her writing hour.
"Tell me, darling" I ask with a smile on my lips.
"Shouldn't you be going to work at the café?" Wednesday asks with curiosity.
My smile fades and I widen my eyes in realization: I had forgotten.
I quickly get up from the bed in a panic
"shit shit" I put on my shoes and look around the room in concern. "Where's the jacket?" I wonder, and I look around the room with worry. "You threw it on Enid's bed," Wednesday exclaims disapprovingly, and I smile hugely.
I internally thank Wednesday for her incredible memory.
I walk towards the door, but Wednesday's voice makes me stop.
"Forgetting something?" She asks seriously.
I sigh at the unfortunate moment of being romantic. "You're right" I walk towards her and lean down towards her face to unite our lips in a sweet kiss.
As we separate, I notice that Wednesday's cheeks were completely flushed.
"You were forgetting the car keys, idiot," says Wednesday embarrassed, showing me the keys.
I had left them on her desk an hour ago when I arrived.
"Oh, thanks," I say embarrassed, and Wednesday smiles widely making my heart race a mile a minute.
"But I appreciated it" she confesses quickly and I smile back getting lost in her deep brown eyes.
Yes, definitely, now I remember why I'm with her.

I feel like he would just love roasting his kids (affectionately of course)
And always overwhelmingly acts of service so his kids know they are loved
Allowance randomly appearing under their pillow, their favorite foods magically stocked in the fridge, always relenting to one last bedtime story no matter how tired he is
Would let you have final say but he makes it really clear he’s on their side and empathizes with them but its out of his hands
“Next time just don’t get caught, okay?” *winks*
Minghao
Loves loves loves just spending time with his babies
Doesn’t matter what he’s doing he just wants to be in the same room as them or cuddling and holding them
Emphasizes equality in your relationship so his kids can grow up with those values and learn to respect others
TURNS EVERYTHING INTO A LIFE LESSON OH MY GOD
Doesn’t believe in allowances but will cave and literally buy them anything they want if they ask
Would rather die than miss any important event (competition, speech, recital, talent show, graduation, etc.)
Mingyu
Absolute super dad, what can’t he do? Nonstop home improvement projects, cooks anything his kids are craving, offers to drive everyone everywhere
But also the whiniest dad ever lol constantly complains about people “ruining his system”
Absolutely FUCKS at the school bake sales, earns them twice the target fundraiser amounts because he's dilf material and knows how to get the moms to spill their pockets
Likes to have the final say, but you’re both usually on the same page in regards to discipline so his kids aren’t getting away with anything
Just the most supportive dad in the universe, the kids learn to never take him for granted
Seokmin
You already know his kids are gonna be spoiled rotten. He will be the favorite parent by default sorry I don't make the rules!!
His arms are the very definition of a safe space
Leaves all the discipline to you because he cannot keep a straight face when delivering a lecture (one time he made them cry and also ended up crying because he felt so bad)
Does so much embarrassing shit just to cheer his kids up when they have a bad day, acts surprised when they tell him he's cringe
Such a pushover that they are probably gonna make fun of him when they're older, but that's okay because they know there's no universe in which their dad will stop loving them
Seungkwan
As long as he can pick them up still, his kids are never on the ground for too long
Two words: SPORTS. DAD.
He could practically captain the cheerleading teams at their school with how many events he's been to
Knows all of his kids’ friends parents, they all get together and have coffee once a month actually
Nags nonstop and complains about everything he has to do for them, but is always diligent and does it without question
Gets so pouty when they start getting embarrassed to show affection, he WILL get his cheek kisses if it's the last thing he does!!
Vernon
Chillest dad in existence?!?
Literally as long as his kids are safe he doesn't give a single fuuuuckkk
“Sleepover? Yeah, call me when you're done and I'll pick you up.”
He WILL argue with you if he doesn't think there's a good reason to say no to them
So cute and encouraging to all their weird hobbies and phases throughout the years. “Lemme see” and “Really? Show me” are regular phrases in his vocabulary
His kids are definitely gonna inherit his legendary facial expressions afnngjdg
Chan
Super affectionate and doting, but also quite strict with them at times
“I just want the best for you, I want to see you succeed”
HAS A PHOTO OF THEM READY AT ANY TIME, lockscreen is a different shot of his kids every day and is eager to show it off even if no one asked
Not so subtly signs his kid up for dance lessons
Just the most encouraging dad ever, makes sure that they know making mistakes are a part of life and that he will always love them no matter what
