DC Titans Part 1

Ok so I actually watched Titans a while ago but I’m seeing it a lot more on tik tok and I have been thinking about it quite a bit lately because of it. so before I get into whatever is in my brain

1. I really don't like Titans as a show, I only watched the first season and already I did not like it. like the final “battle” (if you could even call it that) was basically a very boring argument between a girl and her dad.

2. while I wasn't a fan of his character before the show, I am now and I really don't like how Jason Todd is treated in the show.

so now because I have been thinking about this I have been sort of rewriting Titans in my head so I'm here to get those thoughts out. 

ill start with Jason, I cant do much about the first season and frankly I don't know enough about trigon or the story to care, so sadly we are keeping it because i think its a good jumping off point for what i want to do. so when ever Titans stuff is discussed Jason gets really exited and happy him being apert of something gives him joy and yes he can get carried away, he’s a street kid from Gotham probably the only safe place for him was in public spaces and he probably was raised by the prostitutes and homeless people of the area. so I think his motivation is more trying to find a home that doesn't reject him.

so first of all Jason is a HUGE book nerd, his favorite book is Pride & Prejudice for crying out loud, so he didn't know how long he would be staying in San Francisco so he only brought like 7 books. I know that seams like a lot but I headcannon him to be able to read like a long chapter book in like 2 or 3 days. so he doesn't have his normal library with him. now I am going to introduce a OC that I made named Saoirse, she’s a girl he met when he first went to the fancy school in Gotham after getting adopted by Bruce. She was a foreign exchange student from Ireland and ill make a separate post about her after this one.

Jason and Saoirse have been friends for a long time and for his first few months in San Francisco they didn’t talk but after the hole trigon thing he starts to talk to her again. she knows he is Robin and Bruce is kind of ok with it because she is a blue Lantern in training. anyway he talks to her about all the stuff going on in San Francisco and to surprise him she sends a care package with a couple books, snacks, and some bookmarks. Dick sees Jason bring the package into his room and follows him, and because its Titans probably thinking the worst.

Dick sees Jason on a video call with Saoirse and opening the package getting really exited about the new books and she even got him a copy of the book there book club is reading. after the call ends Dick makes his presence known asking who Saoirse is. Jason starts acting defensively trying to get Dick out of his room. it ends with Jason telling him that she’s his friend and even a little bonding moment between the two. in the scene I want to show how smart Jason actually is with questions about books and we start to really get to know Jason.

now I’m still going to go the Deathstrock route because I want drama with Rose and Saoirse. so after Jason almost dies he doesn't talk to Saoirse for a little bit. but after starting his relationship with Rose he calls her and one apologizes for the radio silence he was depressed, she understands and validates his emotions wile still telling him that she is always able to talk to him LIKE A GOOD FREIND WOULD, excitedly he tells her about Rose and how he wishes she where here so he could introduce them. and she informs him that she was planning on flying to San Francisco that night and stay at a friend's place in order to surprise him.

now from my very limited exposure to Titans season 2 I know that the team breaks up at some point and that Rose and Jason are very toxic. so Saoirse arrives before the team breaks up but after the crosses on the mirrors incident. I think when Jason told Rose that Saoirse was coming she made a scene about how he’s never talked about this Saoirse before. I think she does this in front of everyone else and they gang up on him for nothing. he basically stays quiet and says when lunch is and that he need to pick Saoirse up from the airport leaving.

him and Saoirse go to the lunch they had planned and Rose doesn't show up they end up eating anyway and they decide to go back to Titans tower because Jason just assumes Rose wasn't feeling very good. when they get there the team try to confront Jason, its worth noting the Titans don't notice Saoirse there,   saying things like “who is this Saoirse girl”, “why is he keeping secrets”, and I think hank would make some rude remark about Saoirse pretty much based on nothing.

that's when Saoirse makes herself known and introduces herself. now before this we don't see a lot of Saoirse just her voice bit her look has been obscured  so this is sort of a reveal scene. she is a 5 foot tall girl with frizzy bright red hair, cute gold glasses that look strait out of a fantasy book, a brightly colored crochet cardigan over a cottagecore, witchy outfit and red lace up leather boots her grandfather made her.

I think this is when Dick enters the scene and politely invites her in while everyone is getting over the initial shook of the moment. they sit on the couch and talk Saoirse answers questions like how she knows Jason by Gar, I think Dawn would ask her questions that bring up the fact she is a pagan witch, she lives in Ireland buts stays on her grandfathers farm for most of the summer, and her love of crochet and books. Rose shows up Jason introduces her to Saoirse but Rose stays quiet for a little bit before asking about the ring on her finger. Jason is a little alarmed by this and makes a small inoffensive comment about Rose skipping any introduction. Saoirse says its fine revealing her blue lantern ring and showing it to Rose and the group.

Kori probably says something about how she’s heard of a Green and Red Lantern but not a Blue one. this prompts Saoirse into explaining all about the Blue Lanterns, a topic she is very interested in. someone probably asks if she’s a hero and she says something like “No. No. No. No, I could never be a vigilante like any of you guys or Hal or John or... does Guy count, yea he counts. I’d cant use my ring like a green lantern could and even if I could I’d much rather teach than fight bad guys.” now most of the Titans didn’t know Saoirse knew they where vigilantes and the mood sours and she continues “OH! I forgot, yea I know who you guys are, John one of the green Lanterns told me, I hope that's ok.” 

this calms some people down and I think Donna says something like its fine and that Diana trusts John so she will to. after Dinner Saoirse goes back to the place she is staying and there is some talk around Titans about Jason’s friend. Jason probably tries to talk to Rose about what happened but she avoids the topic and it ends in a small fight. Jason and sometimes Gar leave and hangout with Saoirse. Jason invites Rose but she declines overtime, and because i think Jason is actually trying in this relationship he tries to politely confront Rose about this but it always ends in a fight, Rose ignoring the topic, or Rose trying to distract from the topic.

I have more but this is really long so this is part 1

8 Shows to get to know me

Thank you @sunshinereddie for the tag! It was so awesome reading about the shows you’re passionate about and getting to know you a bit better through this challenge 😁

Without further ado, let the challenge commence! In no particular order, because it was hard enough choosing just 8 😂

1) Supernatural

I also discovered this show as a teen and instantly fell in love with the world and of course Destiel. This show got me through some rough times and still can both calm me down while hyping me up at the same time. Spn also helped with my coulrophobia. Supernatural walked so IT could run 😍

2) Torchwood

I mean come on! An adult Dr Who spin-off revolving around Captain Jack Harkness?! Torchwood gave me my first shipping experience (JANTO FOREVER! 😭) I also just LIVE practical effects and so this show (mainly the first two seasons) always feels super nostalgic to me. It has the perfect balance of Monster of the Week mixed with comedy and emotions!! Also still get very emotional when I think about Tosh and Owen ❤️

3)Glee

Ok, yes. Controversial and in hindsight (pretty shit and definitely not PC) but it still is dear to my heart. As a theatre kid who LOVES musicals, this was obviously gonna be a show I watched religiously in HS when it was still on the air. I still get emotional when I think about Cory and Naya. Though the show hasn’t aged well, it still is nostalgic to me and I still prefer some glee covers to the original’s. If ya curious lemme know 😂

4) Queer As Folk (US 2000-2005)

My bestie and I started watching this when we were like 13 and it maybe wasn’t age appropriate but who cares. It hold a special place in my heart and as much as I would love for there to have been a more diverse representation, it still brings me a lot of nostalgia. This show also helped me start to figure some stuff out as well. It kinda gave me the key to the closet (I mean I still couldn’t find the lock but still😂)

5) Brothers and Sisters

Sally Field! That’s all that needs to be said!! This show is just 👌🏻 when I started watching it as a tween it made me feel so mature 😂 so much drama but also a lot of love.

6)Brooklyn Nine-Nine

I mean if you’ve seen even one episode y’all know why this show freaking SLAYS! The character dynamics, the comedic structure and just the representation for Latina and queer peeps is awesome! Also Andy Samberg is just already freaking awesome so there’s that too!

7) Our Flag Means Death

GAY PIRATES! I REPEAT-GAY PIRATES! I love this show so much and am hella excited about season two! Which was filmed in NZ (kiwi pride!) also the fact that this is a mainstream show and the two leads are kiwi and they keep their accents in the show. This show makes me so proud to be a kiwi and it’s also just a freaking HILLARIOUS and chaotic ride ❤️

8) Wellington Paranormal

Now I’m not sure if this What We Do In The Shadows spin off has made it outside of NZ but it centres around Officer O’Leary and Officer Minogue (The two police officers that show up in the movie)

I grew up in Wellington (21 years) and now I live in Hawkes Bay so I always put on this show when I’m feeling a bit homesick. Also it’s just a great example of kiwi humour as well (It’s also hilarious that I know a bunch of people that have appeared in this show from my drama school 😂) like seriously the whole two degrees of separation in NZ is pretty legit 😂

That awkward moment when you forget to tag people to pass the challenge on because you were too focussed at the task at hand….

Alrighty!

Please talk about Garou head cannon…

ok i have a lot. i apologize. :pensive:

i think garou likes all animals, but he has a soft spot for less popular animals. like insects, marine life, reptiles, etc.--even as a child, he seemed interested in insects. he's probably very upset about conventionally cute animals getting conservation preference and therefore takes extra care to not step on insects. when he finds one indoors and people are freaking out, he's the one who intervenes and takes it outside. also he wants to demolish sea world.

i know a lot of people think garou is like...suave and confident and magnetically sexy, but i think he's actually probably pretty introverted and has social anxiety. he's never fit in and it doesn't appear he's ever had a friend aside from tareo. he probably avoids social contact with peers because he assumes it will go poorly. and i suspect he's very wary of anyone who approaches him.

imo garou is an INFJ.

i'm convinced garou would thrive in a polisci class or in any context where he was learning, like, actual praxis. his ideology is in desperate need of refinement, but advocating for the marginalized, disrupting abusive institutions of power, and refusing to accept the status quo are all pretty political ideals. he emails the prof with extra questions and is always prepared for a heated debate. garou in a different verse is just a boy reading about insurgent politics and neoliberal imperialism in his bedroom.

he's also a boy who does air guitar to linkin park in the bathroom.

since garou's strength is apparently the only thing anyone has praised him for, he probably devotes an inordinate amount of time to it. on the low, though, i think he'd also do well with gardening and outdoor work if he gave it a chance. maybe something a little bit creative like woodworking. or maybe have a knack for mechanical stuff (which he mentioned in his fight with genos, but who’s to know how true that is lol). i just think he'd like hands-on work that requires attention to detail, focus, problem solving, etc.

i doubt he finished high school. not because he didn't understand the material, but because he was such an outcast. teachers probably didn't warm up to him, especially as he got older and learned to fight. so he didn't see the point and stopped going.

garou will throw hands if he sees any guy creeping on a girl because he's a #Feminist.

i need garou to watch really trashy soaps and dramas. he's rewatching season 5 of greys anatomy and rolling his eyes at the izzie ghost sex plotline. if anyone asks, he's allegedly watching pulp fiction though.

he uses 3000-in-1 shampoo because he thinks separate bathing products are too much of a hassle. he's wrong and i hope someday he realizes that.

tech illiterate. “what’s a twitter?”

for now i will stop myself LOL

[dreaming-of-assclass]

Can you do hc’s on Group 4, but more specifically hc’s on the quiet ones (Nagisa, Okuda, and Kanzaki) and the loud ones (Karma, Sugino, Kayano). Thanks for work you do :)

Thank YOU for sending an ask about my kids 🤧💜 I love them so much

Haha the funny thing about Group 4 (that I absolutely love about them) is that they’re a pretty mixed circle of wild cards. They all contribute to chaos in some way whenever they’re together because that’s how they vibe. Like Karma technically is one of the most introverted, but he’s included in the chaos line. Likewise, Kanzaki has a much different energy than Nagisa and Okuda do. The only really “loud” one is Sugino, since Kayano’s real personality is a lot different. But since you asked for these separations in particular UwU, I’m happy to make hc’s for them! 💕

🪴🍄🌸 Quiet Side 🌸🍄🪴

Oooooh they have great dynamics tbh

Kanzaki and Okuda are total besties of course. They’re both more reserved and completely respect each other’s space, but they get along great. They can vibe well and bond over a ton of things, including healthcare/pharmacy.

Nagisa and Kanzaki are the “kind kids who rebel against their parents” duo. I like to think Kanzaki’s “crush” on him was out of admiration and surprise since boys don’t treat her well generally. Likewise Nagisa cares for her a lot.

Nagisa and Okuda are the lethal cuties. They are very caring towards each other. Usually Nagisa will be the tsukkomi to some of Okuda’s chemistry antics haha.

Overall this trio give off strong “looks like a cinnamon roll but can kill you” vibes, most with Nagisa and least with Okuda

They don’t get to talk often in class given the seating arrangement, but outside of school, I feel like they’d be a lot more open with each other.

Probably have mini study sessions at the library or a coffee shop maybe. All three of them getting hot chocolate of course

Kanzaki tries to teach them how to play some of her favorite video games, but Okuda quickly gets confused and Nagisa tries his best but...he’s only good with Sonic Ninja stuff lmao

The girls getting sugary snacks while Nagisa is like 😖 what about sushi?

~

💫🌈💥 Loud Side 💥🌈💫

Ok but this trio might just actually be my favorite in all of AssClass

The dynamics are I M M A C U L A T E

Karma and Sugino are the iconic sitcom duo of course. Their interactions are just hilarious, I love their friendship and how it progresses.

Sugino and Kayano....man I have feels about them. Just Sugino being such a positive influence on her life, and providing emotional support for her. And Kayano trusting him and always being there for him...SOBS

Kayano and Karma are one of my fav brotps. I think they could understand each other in ways no one else could. I think their bond is familial in a sense, that they find a home in each other.... SOBS MORE

Imagine the two guys always crashing at Kayano’s apartment to hang out, eat a million pudding cups, watch shitty dramas, and vent about their lives to each other.

Kayano tackling either of them if they dare mention her height

Karma shows up to all of Sugino’s baseball matches, always shouting in the loudest, most obnoxious way. Meanwhile Kayano is facepalming in second-hand embarrassment but still cheering Sugino on.

Sugino and Kayano are always begging Karma to make them a home-cooked meal since his food is always so amazing. He refuses every time

Honestly forget the sitcom duo, these three could be the lead stars of a whole ass show themselves. Like living together as roommates or smth

Sugino and Karma acting like protective big brothers whenever Kayano has to film a romance scene. She makes them promise to back off, but they sneak onto the set and threaten her co-star. What? They gotta put those assassin skills to use somehow, they claim.

[sugiwa]

so I was just hit with a todoroki brainrot moment,,, i saw in the last ask that you're tired so you dont have to answer this immediately!! pls rest queen 🥱 also this is a 2-parter because I felt bad for the giant wall of text

who's Fuyumi's favourite sibling? though I can't put it past her to say she loves them all very much but surely deep down there is a favourite. I was about to ask who is Rei's favourite child but of course everyone's favourite Todoroki is Fuyumi 😭😭

Will we get to see their grandparents (from both sides) in the fic? sometimes I wonder about their role and what they're doing in this entire mess. Rei's parents seem to know what's going on, but they don't seem to care about the kids? and where is Endeavor's parents/family?

how old were Izumi and Shouto when Natsuo left for college? I'm guessing when they were in middle school? and what happened when they missed each other? and and how did Fuyumi and Shouto live without Izumi and Natsuo around the house creating noise lol

did Fuyumi go to college too? she's pretty much the mediator in this family and also took on the mom role so Natsuo would have to step up during this period and take care of the twins. Fuyumi calls every day to check up on them until she's satisfied. Otherwise she could just go to a nearby college and be able to live at home still.

Does the class know that Shouto is the older sibling? what's their reaction to finding out? also, idk but this is usually one of the first questions that twins get asked, so.. maybe the dekusquad knows?

OK THAT WAS LONG BUT would you prefer if I sent long asks like this in separate asks or just all in one? 🤣

Don't worry!! I kinda prefer longs asks, rather than have them separated into one.

I think Shouto's her fave. I imagine she's the most steady presence in his life, even at the start when he wasn't allowed to interact with her, she was still physically there and then when everything else started to happen (Touya dying, his mom leaving, Izumi gone) that they got a bit closer. He's also someone that Fuyumi cares very deeply about wants to ensure he's happy. Plus I think they'd just vibe watching dramas together and doing simple stuff like Shouto's finishing his homework while Fuyumi grades tests or something.

I actually think that their grandparents are dead? I know that Rei's parents were alive when Shouto was young, but they're never mentioned again and I kinda just assumed that they died while Rei was hospitalized, but if we do see them again in the manga, I'll bring them into the story. I think the same thing with Enji's parents (no mention of them anywhere), so idk what's going on there. I don't think I'd add them in just because I don't want to make the story convoluted

Natuso's only 19, so he just started college (the same year that they started U.A.). I imagine he's not far and probably within commuting distance, and they all know where he is, so I think they'd randomly drop in to visit him. Also, yes!! Fuyumi's a teacher, so she had to have gone to college. I really imagine her as being the one to raise bother Natsuo and step in to help Shouto when Rei was gone. Izumi was at school, so they'd see each other occasionally after school, but it was a lot of frantic phone calls when she ended help. I think Fuyumi probably also when to a college nearby to make sure that Shouto wasn't alone.

They do know about Izumi being younger, but it's not really a big deal. Like Izumi alternates between acting like she needs to protect Shouto and then getting annoyed when she doesn't get her way. I bet there was a bit of surprise, but not too much.

More headcanons for the boys +romance

Piers

Piers is secretly a sap for old movies. Black and white ones to be more specific. He not only finds them aesthetically pleasing, but also with their own charm. Theres a small theater in Spikemuth that exclusively airs vintage movies, and visits whenever he has time.

His and Marnies biggest bonding activity is hair night. She'll help him redye the white streaks in his hair(which is no small task). Piers will blow dry and straighten hers. They'll put on a bad movie from netflix, order take out and have a night. 

Piers can play guitar. But it's more for personal use than anything. He finds it relaxing to just sit an play while he writes songs. It's only for very specific songs that he'll play in stage. They're usually the very emotional ones that mean a great deal to him. Every piers fan knows, if he's holding a guitar, the crowds tears will follow.

Ever see that video of a dog relaxing while his owner plays the pokemon theme on an acoustic guitar? That's Piers and his pokemon.

Obstagoon is like a big bratty dog. Always wants treats, always wants attention. And will whine when it does not get them. When it was a zigzagoon, it would give big pouty eyes for treats and table scraps, and it always worked on young piers. He was a chubby little thing back then.

When skuntank was a stunky, it was biter. Nothing was safe. Furniture, clothes, fingers. Piers always had little red mark's from the teething pokemon. A quarter of all his money always went to replacing toys Stunky had destroyed.

Romance

 Piers has always been bashful around  people he genuinely likes. *coughraihancough* he'll do his damndest to play it off. But he's always been terrible at hiding a crush. Especially if he blushes around them. He's so pale any color on his face will be very evident.

Half the time he always assumes the other person has no interest in him. But he isn't dense enough to not be able to tell when he's being flirted with. He feels better talking to someone when he knows/feels like his attention is wanted. It makes him less nervous.

Isn't one for initiating pda, but is not opposed to it. He likes having his arm around his s/o shoulders though. 

Has written breakup songs before. No you can't hear them. They're private and locked away in his desk. He has just enough self respect to not air his relationship drama on stage.

Play with his hair, he'll be putty in your hands. 

Has never understood people who stay in relationships with someone who does not get along with their loved ones. Marnie is all Piers has, and if someone cannot get along with her or makes her uncomfortable, they are out. Plain and simple. Unless Marnie says it's ok to keep seeing them, Piers won't pick a relationship over his sister.

Piers is always busy with gym responsibilities or performances and practice. As fun as it can be to bring his s/o to events, his favorite date night activity is to stay home with them. He'll make them a nice meal, put on a movie and relax on the couch. 

Is actually a big cuddle bug. He loves snuggling on the couch. His head on your lap. Holding them in bed. Piers is touch starved and needs attention, please give it to him.

Start giving him good luck kisses before a performance, it'll be his favorite thing.

Raihan 

Raihan acknowledges he can be very vain at times. But the one being that out vains him at every turn is Duraludun. If it sees Raihan filming or taking a photo, it will butt in and try to take over the whole shot. It has become very good friends with the Rotom in his phone. When they get bored they'll stage a hostile takeover of his instagram andTwitter. It become a monthly thing.

Not so secretly a bookstagramer. Raihan always ends up in the vaults and libraries of Hammerlocke. He saw one of his gym trainers, Camilla, taking pictures of the books she was reading and asked about it. She showed him a lot of aesthetically pleasing pictures of books, and libraries, and artfully cluttered desk and wanted to try. It's not a secret, but he does try to keep it separate from his hyper dragon man gym persona. Sort of business vs. Personal deal.

He dresses very well. Despite that more often than not he is in his favorite hoodie and gym uniform, when Raihan wants to dress up,damn son. He spends a lot of time online and is friends with Nessa and Sonia, he knows what's up in fashion and what looks good on him.

He and Gordie are the Meme Team. Everytime they have a conversation it will descend into quoting and reenacting vines. Only the younger gym leaders know what they're saying, they just refuse to encourage it. Except Alister. Hes a little kid that hears these cooler older dudes being funny and try to join them. Hes they're third member now. Poor Bea, she couldn't save him.

Out of all his pokemon, he's had flygon the longest. Raised it from a trapinch when he was a kid. That's why he wears that orange hat/headband thing, to honor his buddy. 

Takes very good care of his skin. Partially because his face is always on camera, but also because his skin dries out easily and always need moisturizers. Nessa showed him all her favorite brands. He likes chilling out with a face mask, it's very soothing.

Romance 

Raihan is a very confident, attractive, and friendly guy, he pretty much never has trouble getting a date.

That being said, sometimes he gets a bit too confident and ends up coming on too strong for some people. 

This was definitely a problem in his teen years. He would just say the wrong thing with all the bravado he could muster and whoever he liked would scoff and walk away. He grew out of it, but it could be downright painful to watch young Raihan flirt.

Raihan is pretty laid back and generally takes rejection very well. Only when it was someone that he REALLY liked and had for awhile is when he gets truly upset. And when that happens he just hangs out at home for a bit or go out to the wild area, Spends time with his pokemon. Generally just wants be alone with his thoughts till he can bounce back. 

When Raihan is dating someone, he surprisingly doesn't want to post about it for awhile. If they're still together after a few months is when he'll post selfies and cute couple pictures. He's learned the hard way how certain types of fans will react to him dating, and once they go public they wont have as much privacy. He likes to have that grace period of just being a couple without all eyes on them.But once that initial hurtle is over. Its photo city with him.

Is a big fan of "good morning" and "good night" texts. Also loves falling asleep over the phone when you can't spend the night together.

Honestly just text him a lot in general. A lot of gym things take up a large chunk of his time. Text that you miss him, or a picture of one of your pokemon sleeping on the couch, ask if he wants pizza later. Literally anything will brighten his day. He'll definitely return the favor. 

Loves taking s/o out on the town. From league events, to friends parties, or just dinner and shopping. He wants to show them off. If you aren't comfortable with it, tell him sooner rather than later. 

Is a giant tease. Loves to whisper whatever he can in your ear or send something risque over text to make you blush and then act completely innocent.

Leon

Has a room in his house just for Hop. Hop used to love visiting him every summer in Wyndon. Otherwise he would never see his brother. The visits got less frequent over the years. But Hop always has a place to stay with Leon.

After he had been champion for a couple years was when the merch train really got rolling. Tshirts, posters, stationery. You name it, it had Leon's face on it. As a kid he lost his shit over it and but over the years got less enamored. Although he does have a soft for the Leon toys. After all, who doesn't want an action figure or doll made of them?

Leon does his best to keep himself and his pokemon in shape and on a daily routine. That all gets thrown out the window when he visits home or family comes to see him. All his pokemon get treated like spoiled house pets. FromHaHaxrus  being a test taster for his mom to Hop flying around the neighborhood with charzard. Its takes over a week to get everything back on track after.

Charzard is obviously the leader of all the pokemon next to Leon. All the newer pokemon always look up to them for guidance and charzard is always friendly and helpful. They are also very fond of kids, it loves events like visiting schools or children's hospitals. He's like a drampa in charzard skin.

Haxorus is a diva. She loves attention and shiny things. She adores Sonia because when she was just an Axew, Sonia always gave her a little trinkets, like sparkly hair pins or a pretty rock. She also loves to be complimented, Leon always calls her his pretty girl. Theres pile of shiny stuff that no one is allowed to touch at Leon's house unless she allows it. 

Whenever leon visits home, he always tries to go out with his old friends. Usually they have a few drinks at the local pub and have dinner. Oddly enough, Leon can get lost going next door, but can stumble home no problem when he's drunk. Go figure.

Ever heard of a sneaker head? Well Leon is a hat head. Whenever his favorite brands come out with a new hat design, you can bet your ass he'll be line for the release or online waiting for the listing to show up. The wall of caps at his moms house is but a humble sample of his collection.

Played softball as a kid. He throws his pokeball the way he was taught to pitch. As a kid leon liked to think if he couldn't be a trainer, he would like the be a baseball player. 

Romance 

Leon can't flirt for shit,and I mean this in the nicest way possible. His idea of breaking the ice is asking if you want a battle. 

Leon was especially hopeless as a teenager. He spent so much time with the league, an environment of mostly adults, being around anyone his age was a damn miracle. 

Sonia and Raihan would always take him to parties to socialize. But anytime someone tried to make a move on him, Leon would just think they were being friendly. 

Raihan has always been his wingman.

Raihan: My friend over there thinks you're cute. *points at the damn champion waving awkwardly from across the room.*

Even Now, they still do this. And it still has 50/50 shot of working.

Has been in a couple relationships, but both have ended badly. They were ultimately with Leon for his title and not him.

Leon wants to be with someone, he just finds it's harder for him than he realised. When he does find someone, it's going to be a bit of a slow go to know them and be sure they aren't using him. When that wall breaks he going to be the happiest man around.

Leon is affectionate and will always find a way to touch his s/o. From a kiss on the cheek, to random hugs, to lightly touching their back as he passes.

This man has never half Assed anything in his life. Leon's a go big or go home kind of guy, so when he wants to make a romantic gesture, he'll put his all into it. From picnics on the stadium field, to a special camping spot in the wild area, dinner on the top floor of the battle tower. Even just flowers will be from the best florist in in the city. Leon wants to show how much he loves you and nothing but his 110% best effort will do. 

As extra as Leon is, it's always the small quiet moments that get him. He'll wake up early and see his s/o peacefully asleep, and he'll just melt and stay there for awhile.

 You could try to make his favorite meal and burn everything and he'll still be touched. It's very much the thought that counts for Leon, because it shows you care enough to put the effort in.

King of cheesy lines. Will say the lamest pick up lines or something he heard in a movie to try and make you laugh. It usually works because he always says it with a straight face.

For the ultimate ship meme, Lion and Doc? I'm sorry, I'm LionDoc trash-

it’s all good!! whenever someone sends in an ask, i get an excuse to talk/write about one of my interests! really, it makes me so happy to be able to create content that people hopefully enjoy!! 💝💝💝

General:

Rate the Ship -   Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs

How long will they last? - until the end of time, babey

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - it was love at first sight but then they started talking i do think it was some form of ~interest~ in one another at first sight, but then all that drama and lack of communication happened so they didn’t really allow themselves to even dream about the possibility of a relationship. HOWEVER! once lion joined rainbow and they talked their shit out like people who know how to cope, there was a period of a few months that is now referred to as The Four Months of Pining™, during which glaz did a lot of paintings where the subject (who usually bears an uncanny resemblance to doc or lion) is staring at something (or someone) longingly. he calls it his french period. when they finally get together, a LOT of money changes hands. and goes straight into sledge’s pocket (he was the only one who bet that it would take them this long). diana gets a brand new collar (handmade), bed (handmade), dish (handmade), and many new toys (some handmade, some store-bought. sledge’s craftsmanship can only get him so far) 

How was their first kiss? - you know how the french are supposed to be super suave and confident??? and how gay people are trying their hardest but they’re just Not Good at things????? (i know these are stereotypes but stay with me). well, with their 5/8 french blood (i hc one of doc’s parents is fully algerian while the other is half french, half algerian), and their 4/4 gay blood, they have an 81.25% chance of success in matters of the heart. sadly, that 18.75% chance of failure came into play during this situation. picture it. doc and lion. romantic, home-cooked dinner. le festin is playing in the background. they’re holding hands over the table. suddenly, doc’s cat goes into labour. all hell breaks loose. lion is getting flashbacks to his son’s birth, so now he’s hyperventilating. doc carries him to the couch and turns on the fan so he can cool off and catch his breath, before carefully moving his cat, Rayie (arabic for gorgeous, pronounced rye-ah) to the living room in his handmade Birthing Box, then grabs a pile of blankets and a heat lamp and situates himself on the ground nearby so he can help her if she needs it. once the kittens are born (they’re twins!! Sadiqi is the boy, and Amirti is the girl!!!) doc makes sure they’re nice and warm and that Rayie is recovering, and gives her pets while she cleans her babies. once the happy family is all settled in for the night, doc walks over to the couch and just. lays down on top of lion. once he’s gotten over the adrenaline of the birth, he takes lion’s face in his hands and says “promise me you’ll be more calm if we ever decide to have kids” and gives him a BIG smooch while lion’s just short-circuiting like “does he know i have a son???? did i forget to mention my son?????? also what about these kittens??? are they not sufficiently childish to count as children????? DOES HE WANT KIDS????? does he want to marry me??????? wait why is he getting so clo-”

Wedding:

Who proposed? - lion. it was the day of their two year anniversary (yes i AM saying they got together the august after outbreak don’t @ me) and they were on vacation at doc’s family’s Secret Beach House. they were vibing on the balcony, watching the sunset, when lion suddenly clears his throat. doc turns to look at him and finds his boyfriend down on one knee, looking like he might flee to Bermuda. he’s reaching for something in his pocket. doc starts laughing. lion, completely misunderstanding his reaction, flushes and stammers out an apology. doc sees this, and immediately stops, though he’s still smiling gleefully as he catches lion by the biceps, then reaches into his own pocket and pulls the ring he was going to give olivier. they exchange rings, giggling like little kids, and spend the rest of the night making out on whatever surfaces are available. 

Who is the best man/men? - for lion? montagne. (his son is the ring bearer and doc’s niece is the flower girl). for doc? rook. he’s so happy he gets to participate in his dad’s wedding

Who is the bride’s maid(s)? - for lion: finka. for doc: twitch

Who did the most planning? - both of them!! do you know how hard they worked to ensure the ceremony was valid in the eyes of both of their religions

Who stressed the most? - s e e  a b o v e

How fancy was the ceremony? - Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - lion’s parents. they tried to call him during the reception but doc’s grandma grabbed his phone and started cussing them out, talking about dishonor and how they tried to disown him so they’re not his parents anymore, and besides, his new family absolutely adores him, so really, it’s their loss. once she hangs up, she pulls lion into a hug and he calls her his favorite, if only, grand-mère

Sex:

Who is on top? - who’s topping? lion. but sometimes doc gets bitchy so he gets to set the pace if you know what i mean

Who is the one to instigate things? - they are both lowkey horny 24/7 so 👀👀👀

How healthy is their sex life? - Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now (only because they do get to see each other fairly often. if one goes on a long mission without the other, once they get back they will bump it up to a 10 real quick)

How kinky are they? - Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head

How long do they normally last? - idk long enough ig. maybe longer if someone feels they’ve been left ~unsatisfied~ they might go a few more rounds ;))

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - ok it depends on what they’re doing but usually it’s one or two each, but on ~special~ occasions it’s either doc getting edged and denied for hours, OR doc getting forced to come over and over again until he’s begging for something, whether it be more or a goddamn break even he isn’t really sure. either way he’s crying and lion is consistently asking if he needs to safeword and otherwise checking in because they may like it rough but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care

How rough are they in bed? - Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? - No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.

Children:

How many children will they have naturally? - unless someone’s hormones and organs get fucked, zero

How many children will they adopt? - probably none?? idk they’ve already got lion’s son and they’re both busy enough with work so

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - NEITHER!!!!! DISGUSTANG!!!!!!!!!

Who is the stricter parent? - god i wanna say both. like lion and his attachment to rules??? but doc and his Mom Friend energy????? but ig lion BUT HE’S NOT STRICT TO THE POINT HE’S A BUZZKILL OR ANYTHING HE’S JUST RESPONSIBLE (he will NOT allow his husband and son to go vandalize the property of some islamaphobic brits, as much as he agrees with the sentiment) 

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - doc will only allow vandalism if it’s in the name of righteousness. meaning, he’ll allow their son to spray paint the walls of a goddamn walmart with shit like “eat the rich” and a portrait of robespierre and a guillotine, but it is a HARD NO on defacing places like the library or community center (unless he has a good reason to do so). lion spends his time praying and making sure his son knows which acts of civil disobedience are acceptable and which are distorting their goal 

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - doc. he (privately) dreams of retiring (eventually) and living out his lifelong dreams of being a househusband. so

Who is the more loved parent? - SHUT THE FUCK UP RIGHT NOW GET OUT OF MY HOUSE IM GONNA BEAT YOUR ASS. but ig lion??? BUT ONLY BECAUSE THEIR SON HAS KNOWN HIM LONGER. doc is half Dad and half Cool Uncle Who Gives Me Spray Paint And Tells Me To Make Myself Heard (to clarify, i know doc is a pacifist, but im kinda projecting my own sentiment of “we’ve tried to be peaceful but you wouldn’t give us the time of day. now that we’ve “acted out” we’ve gotten your attention, and rest assured, things are going to change.” he won’t hurt anybody, he’s just tired of having to be everyone’s “muslim friend” and educating people on things they could google themselves)

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? - it used to be lion out of necessity, but when people started asking about his “wife” he was really torn between telling them that he and his son’s mother separated, but now he has a partner and his son seems very happy about it. when doc finally attends a meeting with lion, people really struggle to hide their shock. a few clunky but well-meaning “we support you”’s and “we’re sorry for everything that’s been going on”’s later, doc has used his charm to make friends with literally everyone. from then on, he is on pta duty on behalf of lion and his ex

Who cried the most at graduation? - lion! his parents purposefully didn’t show at his, so it’s a big deal for him to show his son just how proud he is. doc tears up a little too, but manages to mostly keep it together so he can support lion, who spends most of the day heave-crying about how proud he is into his husband’s shoulder. gustave just pats him on the back and tells him that they’ll run out of donuts if they don’t get to the concession stand soon

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - doc. civil disobedience, baby!! he has never been caught. lion fears the law after his youth, so he tries to avoid any visits to law enforcement. he also can’t stand to see his son behind bars

Cooking:

Who does the most cooking? - doc. househusband, remember?

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - doc, but only because he can be a bit of a spice supremacist. he has to get his ingredients from these very specific farms and markets or else his great grandmother will begin manifesting in their house to curse them

Who does the grocery shopping? - doc, bc he does NOT trust lion to not just sweep all of the microwave ramen and kraft mac n cheese into the cart then sprint to self-checkout

How often do they bake desserts? - whenever possible. doc and maestro live by the philosophy “don’t do anything halfway” if they’re going to go through the trouble of making a meal, it will have multiple courses. 

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - doc is more of a salad eater but only for ease of consumption with halal laws. he adores filet mignon

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - lion! maestro enlists himself as assistant head chef after walking into the base’s kitchen one day to find lion covered in flour and lying facedown on the floor, crying

Who is more likely to suggest going out? - also lion! though he’s memorized doc’s order at all of their favorite restaurants, so he usually just gets take out and puts on a big show of being a “tired housewife who works in the kitchen all day just for this one meal” and setting up the table so it’s all nice and romantic

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? - lion. he tried crème brûlée once. never again 

Chores:

Who cleans the room? - lion. organization is everything to this man. doc helps with laundry and such, but for the most part he leaves organization to lion and his systems (think leslie knope levels of planning and organization)

Who is really against chores? - neither! they both understand that teamwork makes the dream work, baby!!

Who cleans up after the pets? - doc, since lion’s already asked him which color hanger should represent “clothes i can tear off my husband before we fuck” and he needs a Moment

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - neither. they don’t own a broom

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - lion because of the deep-seated catholic urge to appear perfect in front of others, and doc because people will gossip, olivier!

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - lion. he immediately called doc into the room and asked “is this your stash of drug money?” doc, who had been asleep because it was 3 in the morning on a saturday, just stares at him

Misc:

Who takes the longer showers/baths? - it is so bold to assume they don’t shower together to “cut costs”

Who takes the dog out for a walk? - lion is known in their neighborhood as the man who walks cats. there is a facebook page where people post pictures of him walking his cats. vigil is an admin

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - LITERALLY EVERY HOLIDAY GETS DECORATIONS. lion makes his own for the muslim holidays since there really aren’t many “of good quality” in stores. when they first started dating, doc came home to find his house covered in ramadan decorations, and lion standing precariously on a ladder, trying to string up fairy lights while learning how to pronounce important arabic words. needless to say, doc cries

What are their goals for the relationship? - mutual joy and contentment!!!! 

Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - doc. he’s sleepy

Who plays the most pranks? - lion, but they’re stupid ones like replacing certain pictures with danny devito. doc gets back at him by replacing pictures of jesus with ewan mcgregor, and putting yoda into his nativity scene. lion doesn’t notice

The New Queen

Bea set and stared at the same paper for the last 20 minutes. Confused and concerned, did she even need to be here since Chloe began number one? That was the reason to become TA right? To get the professors on her side?

What was the point now, Poppy was defeated but yet here she is, phone going crazy in her pocket, Poppy trying to recruit her to help, and Ina staring a hole through her wondering why she wasn’t working.

“Those papers won’t grade themselves you know.” Ina called out while Bea was reading over the text.

“Get dirt on Chloe, and we will take her out. That snake bitch will learn her place. Do that, and you will take her place in my circle.”

“How am I gonna get dirt on Chloe? The girl hates me, I think.” Bea asked herself.

“Bea!” Ina started yelling snapping Bea to attention.

“Huh? Oh right, the papers.” Bea said sharply trying to refocus.

“What’s wrong?” Ina finally sighed, pulling her glasses off and rising to fix two drinks.

“Everything just turned upside down.” Bea started accepting the offered drink.

“Meaning?” Ina said sitting down, really focusing.

“For some reason Poppy and I were partners for Professor Roberta’s class, and we actually didn’t kill each other. But...then we called a truce and Bam! Chloe is number one and Poppy is livid.”

“Well it seems you’ve caused a little shakeup.” Ina snickered.

“What do you mean?” Bea replied.

“With your arrival, you’ve made Poppy show her true side and everyone is tired of her because you’re the green grass on the other side. Poppy dipped and Chloe was next in line.” Ina pointed out.

“And now Poppy is livid. Chloe is dead to her and she wants to knock her off. They’re best friends!” Bea shouted.

“It’s funny what a number will do to a person.”

“And now, we’re in some weird truce and Poppy wants me to get dirt on Chloe in exchange for her spot. I mean I like it? Get rid of Chloe, get into the circle and rightfully displace Poppy. But how am I gonna get dirt on Chloe?” Bea said hanging her head trying to refocus on grading papers.

And there it was, an idea. Chloe St. James’ Anthropolgy paper, D-. “What would you do if you could personally help someone, seeing we hold all the power, do I lie and fail her? Or do I try and help her?” Bea asked genuinely.

“Ahhh I see you found Miss James paper. You know before you came here, she was a straight A student.” Ina pointed out. “And now, according to my colleagues, she’s close to flunking out for good.

“What happened?” Bea asked interested.

“I’m not sure. Ever since you became my TA, I noticed her grade slip.”

Bea knew why, but she couldn’t tell. Maybe this was her chance, personally tutor Chloe and in return, she will hopefully get info on the girl for Poppy.

...

“Are you nuts!” Zoe asked as the girls sat on the quad.

“It’s a great idea! Look her she comes now.” Before she could get her attention, Chloe was run over by Poppy and Veronica. The poor girl looked so lost and out of place.

“Get out of the way bitch. What’s wrong? You think just because you slept your way past me, you think you can do whatever you want? News flash, I’m still queen you snake bitch, and you’re going to get what’s coming to you.” Poppy and Veronica stepped over a shell shocked Chloe and all the whispers and laughter was being directed towards Chloe.

“Ouch.” Zoe mumbled.

“Chloe? Are you alright?” Bea said extended a hand to the girl.

“Why do you care! Leave me alone!” Chloe snapped trying to regain some dignity.

“Look I want to help you.” Bea tried.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Chloe said trying to pick her belongings up, trying to fight Bea for a paper. “Give it back!”

“This is what I’m talking about Chloe, D-? This isn’t good.”

“Yeah well, if I hated everyone and I was Kingsleys TA, I would flunk everyone too.”

“Chloe that’s not true. If it were, how do you explain this?” Bea pulled out an official Belvoire letter addressed to Chloe explaining her academic situation.

“Where did you get that!?” Chloe shrieked.

“I have my sources. Now how about it? Let me tutor you?”

“What’s the catch.” Chloe said squinting her eyes in concentration.

“No catch, is it too much to actually care for a fellow student?” Bea teased.

“You’re up to something...”

“Just meet me in the library after school. We will get started.

...

Chloe wouldn’t admit it, but studying with Bea wasn’t so bad. She actually enjoyed it. Bea was super smart and actually cared to ask her about her personal life and how her classes and days were going. It was nice, having someone actually care about you.

With the last month of drama and practical social suicide death threats from Poppy, being number one was weighing her down but she tried to bury it down to better herself, and be able to stay in school.

Bea could tell the strain it was having, Chloe was trying with her studies, but she seemed drained emotionally and physically.

“Ok Chlo, let’s turn in early today, you need to be sharp for your midterms tomorrow. It’s make or break.” Bea said gathering her stuff but Chloe just sat, with the ‘I have something I want to say but I’m not sure’ look on her face.

“What’s up?” Bea asked.

“Ummmm, do you think I can stay with you tonight?” Chloe said looking away from Bea.

“Ummmm yeah sure? Can I ask why though?”

“Well Poppy kind of kicked me out of the Zeta house. And Veronica had a separate suite that we shared and Poppy made her kick me out.”

“What the fuck!? When did this happen?” Bea asked fuming.

“Last week?” Chloe tried to remember, too tired to care exactly.

“That bitch! Where have you been staying?”

“Well for the first bit I was going to a hotel down the street but Daddy thought I was using it for...” Chloe cleared her throat, Bea picking up on what she was referring too. “So the last few nights, I was sleeping in my car. It’s not the best but it’s climate controlled.”

“Get your cute butt up, you’re coming home with me tonight.” Bea said angered, not at Chloe but at Poppy. She knew she was slacking so Poppy started her War on Chloe.

“Hey Zoe?” Bea called out, Zoe stepping out of her room greeting her bestie and stopping after seeing Chloe.

“What’s going on?” Zoe asked.

“Yeah, Chloe is going to be staying with us for a few night, she has some exams coming up and I need her close.” Ok she lied, but Zoe didn’t need to know the real reason.

“Ok cool, welcome to the crib Chloe. Make yourself at home.” Zoe shut her bedroom door and Chloe sat on the couch.

“Oh no, you’re staying with me, in my bed.” Bea said kind of aggressively but she couldn’t help it.

“At least buy me dinner first.” Chloe teased following Bea to her room.

“Here put these on.” Chloe was hit in the face with some of Bea’s pajamas, they smelled heavenly. “Well if you want, you can shower, then put them on.”

Chloe did just that and felt so cute in Bea’s pj’s, she wasn’t getting them back. She crawled into the king size bed and snuggled under the cover, Bea already tucked in playing on her phone.

“Whatcha doin?” Chloe asked.

Bea huffed, “Reading this garbage, look at this.”

Good evening Thoroughbreds!

Hot off the press! Thanks to a wonderful source, your new Queen, Chloe St. James is a failed exam away from flunking out of Belvoire. That’s right folks, your beloved is, (wait for it) stupid! (What a shock)

Miss James has been seen studying with Professor Thottie’s TA, that’s right, Belvoire’s new angel, Bea Hughes. How many will miss James sleep with to stay on top? According to her Academic record, (See Below) she better get to it or else her reign, like her academic career, will be over as quick as it started. Let’s hope her final brain cell doesn’t fail her now.

Kisses, The T

“That has Poppy written all over it!” Chloe hissed.

“I’m sorry she did that.” Bea tried.

“Why would she do this too me? I didn’t do anything! I just woke up and boom, I was number one.” Chloe cried.

“So you didn’t do anything?” Bea asked relieved.

“No! Poppy has been so obsessed with getting rid of you, she stubbed her toe and the almighty that is The T, made me number one. I don’t want to be number one! I just want my best friend back.” And here came the great flood.

“She actually wanted me to sabotage you or get something on you to make you regret being born. That sounds like a true friend to me.” Bea said sarcastically.

“She is. Or was. She was my first friend when I got here, she took me in and made me who I am.” Chloe said wiping her eyes. “She wanted you to find out how I became number one?”

“Yeah right before that day on the quad. That’s the day I decided I wasn’t going to do it. After seeing how cruel she is to her friend over a number, I want her to suffer. And if you being number one does it, so be it.”

“But I don’t want to be number one. I want to be Chloe, I want to stay in school and graduate, I want to be here...with you.” Chloe trailed off.

Bea’s heart fluttered, “You want to stay here with me huh?”

“I like you Bea.” Chloe admitted. “You’ve been here for me when I needed a friend. You helped me boost my confidence, I’m so ready to kick ass in midterms and show these haters I’m not stupid.”

“No matter what happens Chlo, you’ll always been my number one.” Bea spoke trying to get a rise out of Chloe.

“Yeah yeah, don’t get all soft on me now.” Chloe teased.

“Well we should get some rest, you have a big day tomorrow.” Chloe instinctfully cuddled up into Bea and Bea wrapped a loving arm over Chloe and the two slipped off into a de-stressing sleep. The next day would be the first day of the rest of Chloe’s life, that is, unless Poppy ends it prematurely.

Chapter 6 (The Innocent)

Today was the football game that determined whether they were going to playoffs, but Elizabeth couldn’t care less. The day consisted of students wearing Freeridge High colors, teachers wishing the football players good luck, and the players wearing their jerseys. Lunch came around so Elizabeth began walking to the table that the crew usually sits at, but stopped when she saw that no one was talking to each other so she switched direction. She avoided them at all costs and started doing homework that was assigned that day so she didn’t have to worry about them when she got home. By the end of lunch, Elizabeth was done with her homework and texts were coming in from Oscar and the crew, all of them asking if she was going to go to the game. She replied to all of them, telling them she was going.

School had ended and the crew went to their respective homes to drop their bags off then meet at the stadium. Elizabeth decided to hitch a ride with Oscar and the Santos so she dropped her bag in her room and ran out to Oscar’s place to see that they weren’t leaving yet so she sat on the porch steps next to Cesar. “What’s up with the crew, salad?” “I don’t know, honestly,” Cesar sighed, “all I know is that I want to be with Monse,” “Do you, Salad?” Elizabeth gave him a sad smile, “why did you kiss Olivia if you wanted to be with Monse?” The two sat in silence, but Elizabeth knew the feeling so she wrapped an arm around Cesar’s shoulder and leaned her head on his shoulder. She silently hoped that everything worked out for the better and the group was gonna go back to the way it was except Monse and Cesar were gonna be together. Both were in too deep with their thoughts when Oscar and Santos came out of the front door. Oscar saw the position they were in and felt a sense of jealousy and anger. Oscar cleared his throat causing Cesar to stand up in a rush and stuff his hands into his pockets, shuffling his feet because the younger brother felt the older brother’s glare. The Santos were chuckling and made their way to the car. “Oscar, it ain’t like that. I swear,” Cesar cleared his throat. “‘Scar, chill. He’s just bummed because he and Monse aren’t getting together and it’s gonna take awhile for them to even date,” Elizabeth put a hand on his forearm before jumping in the front. The ride there was short and the moment they arrived, Olivia was there waiting so Elizabeth rubbed Cesar’s back in and attempted to comfort and encourage him before going with Oscar to the area that some Santos were occupying. In the span of two months that Elizabeth knew Oscar and started talking to him, she got closer to a few Santos that were like her brothers now, Sad Eyes especially. Nobody could decipher the sibling connection that they had when they met; however, his girl had gotten jealous, but soon saw that it was like a sibling bond. His girl now had gotten to know the girl and felt like Elizabeth was her little sister. Rico, Sad Eyes, and Lorca were there so she felt less lonely. “Sad Eyes!” Elizabeth yelled, running to him and jumping to hug him, “Rico! Lorca!” “We don’t get a hug, puta?” Rico crossed his arms. “Of course you do, drama queens,” Elizabeth rolled her eyes with a smile, moving to Lorca to give him a hug, but he held a hand out. “Spooky, get your girl,” Lorca pointed to Elizabeth, “she’s being a puta,” “I swear y’all like children,” Oscar rolled his eyes as he sat down on the stands. “Aye, hermanita,” Sad Eyes rested an arm on her shoulder, “I’m going to the snack shack, you want anything?” “Nah, I’m good, hermano,” Elizabeth pushed his arm off, “thank you though. Where is guerita?” “ella tenía trabajo hoy,” Sad Eyes said, leaving the gang to go to the shack. “Liz, ain’t that your homie on the field?” Rico pointed to Jamal on the field. “It is,” Elizabeth looked confused, “I’ll be back y’all,” she walked away to find the crew and when she saw them, she ran up the stairs two at a time, “why is Jamal on the field? How?” “Me,” Ruben said, “Ruben made a special appearance in the coach’s office and got him on the team,” “For what reason?” Monse asked. Jamal’s parents made an appearance with a full face of makeup and foam fingers along with other cheering instruments, “isn’t this exciting? Are you excited?” “Yeah! Excited, stunned, surprised,” Monse faked a smile. “It’s been a long time coming after that record breaking run of injuries,” Cesar said. “I know. I thought we would have to put that boy in a bubble,” Dwayne laughed. “Still might,” Elizabeth muttered. Time passed to the fourth quarter and Elizabeth was back with the Santos sitting next to Oscar, feeling the heat. She leaned back onto the seat behind her and groaned at how hot it was. Oscar looked back at her and turned his body to face her. “Wassup, mamita?” Oscar lifted an eyebrow. “It’s so hot,” Elizabeth groaned, “why is it always hot?” “It’s Cali, babe. It’s always gonna be hot,” Oscar chuckled. A fight broke out which broke Oscar’s focus on her and Elizabeth looked at the commotion that caused the whole team to get ejected. The coach was trying to argue with the referee that he couldn’t eject his whole lineup, but he dejectedly went to the bench and started putting in the benchwarmers. All the benchwarmers were on the field now and getting ready to start a play. When the play started Jamal was able to catch the ball and he started running as if his life depended on it because it did. “Let’s go, J!” Elizabeth cheered while laughing, unaware of the stare that belonged to the Los Santos leader. The crew ran to her and cheered along side of her as Jamal had reached the end-zone and did All Fall Down. Once the hype was down and the football players went into the locker room, the crew walked out after Oscar told Cesar and Elizabeth that he had to take care of something. Elizabeth decided to stay back because she knew that Cesar and Monse had to talk so she went to the bathroom and did her business. However, when she left and went to the duo she saw Monse leave and start crying so she ran to her and put an arm around her. “It’s gonna be ok, Mon. You let him go, didn’t you?” Monse nodded, “give me an hour and a half. I’ll be at your place in my pajamas with ice cream, junk food, and Netflix ready for us,” “You don’t have…” Monse started, but Elizabeth interrupted her. “Shut up, bitch. I’m doing it,” Elizabeth smiled at her friend. “Thank you, Eli,” Monse hugged her, “you’re the best girlfriend I could ever ask for,” “Anything for the love of my life,” Elizabeth winked at her. “I love you for this,” Monse chuckled. “Babygirl, I got you. Now go home and cry ‘cause I know you want to. Be there soon and stay safe. Don’t open the door to strangers and all that bs,” Elizabeth kissed Monse’s cheek. The two separated ways as Elizabeth jogged to the red Impala that was waiting to go to the Diaz household. Once all of the Santos that rode with them were dropped off and were finally on their way to the Diaz house, Elizabeth turned to her Santo, “‘Scar, can you take me to the store after I dress in my pajamas? I gotta get some things for a girls’ night with Monse tonight,” Oscar nodded and went to Elizabeth’s house after dropping Cesar off at their house. Elizabeth saw that no one was home so she let Oscar get in the house while she went to change. He looked around the main room and saw pictures of Elizabeth and her parents, noticing that she looked like a perfect mix of her mom and dad. Footsteps were heard coming so he turned to see what was Elizabeth’s pajamas, seeing spandex shorts and one of Oscar’s hoodies that she stole on Halloween. She grabbed her overnight bag that had her extra clothes and necessities, as well as her Polaroid camera, extra films, and face masks. The sophomore had put her bag on the couch to see Oscar looking through all the pictures that her and her parents had put up around the house, “Ready?” Oscar turned to look at her, “yeah, you have the same eyes as your madre,” Elizabeth nodded with a smile as the two exited the house and into the car. She had quickly sent a text to her mother telling her that she was gonna spend the night at Monse’s because she was heartbroken over Cesar. Her mother sent a quick ok and the duo left to go to Walmart and get the best deals as well as get as much stuff as they could get. When they got there, Elizabeth sat in the cart and waited for Oscar to push her to get the stuff that she wanted and the stuff that Monse liked. It took awhile for the two to be done, but it happened after 30 minutes so they went to the self service check-outs. Elizabeth got out of the cart and started scanning the items, watching the numbers go up to two hundred dollars worth of food and filled up three bags. She took out her wallet to pay, but she got beaten by the man that had pushed her around in the cart who paid by bills. “Oscar! I was gonna pay,” Elizabeth glared at the older man. “Don’t be a pendeja,” Oscar smirked at the girl, “we aboutta be together anyways so get used to it, princesa,” “I’m getting the next one,” Elizabeth pouted. “Don’t be a baby,” Oscar smirked at the younger girl. She ignored him and walked to the Impala with him following, but he was occupied with the thoughts of her actions being funny. When Oscar got inside the car, Elizabeth stayed quiet and silence filled the car. “Eli, come on,” Oscar tried to grab her hand, but she pulled away, “don’t be a brat,” “Oscar, I don’t like when you spend that much money on me. I can pay for these things myself,” Elizabeth crossed her arms. “Yo se pero I want to. You don’t have to or need to spend your money because you got other things to worry about,” They finally arrived at Monse’s house so Elizabeth opened the door and grabbed her overnight bag, slinging it over her shoulder, then grabbing the three grocery bags. She got out of the car, but put her stuff down and went over to the driver’s side to kiss Oscar’s cheek through the open window. “Thank you, Oscar,” Elizabeth softly smiled, “you’re a sweetheart when it’s just us. Don’t worry I’ll keep that information to myself,” Elizabeth winked and went back to the sidewalk, grabbing her stuff and making her way into the house. When she made it into the house, she saw Monty and Monse having a moment so she stood outside for a moment before making her presence known, “Welcome back, Monty,” Elizabeth held up the bags, “ready for girl’s night?” “I’ll leave you girls to it,” Monty stood up to leave, “Eli, thank you for being there for Monse,” “Anything for my best friend,” Elizabeth hugged Monty, “now go sleep,” Once Monty closed the door to his room, Elizabeth closed the door to Monse’s room and jumped onto the bed. She pulled her overnight bag onto the bed and unzipped it, revealing her clothes, face masks, and the Polaroid camera. Elizabeth pulled Monse’s hair band from her wrist and pulled back her hair to put it back and apply the peel off mask to her face. Once everything was set and they took a few pictures, Elizabeth sat across from Monse. “Now, tell me what happened,” “I let Cesar go and made him go with Olivia,” Monse’s eyes teared up. “Oh, honey,” Elizabeth hugged Monse, “this calls for a romcom and junk food,” The two spent the night watching movies while eating the snacks and drinking the drinks. It was a night needed for the two girls to catch up and console.

Replay ch. 4

Callum gulped as he sent the text to Rayla.  She was fully in her rights to reject a drawing session in the woods.  Not only that, but he was asking her to bring her own clothes because he didn’t know her exact measurements.  Was he asking too much?  He read the text again.  ‘If it’s not too much trouble, I was really imagining drawing you among the trees, like a faerie or an elf.  If you have any flowy clothes that you are alright with getting dirty, please wear those. I’ll send you the location if you’re comfortable.  If not, we can do the beach or my backyard.  I just can’t imagine drawing you in a confined space like my studio. I don’t think it would fit your spirit.’

Callum internally screamed. Did he really send that?  She was going to rescind her acceptance of his request to draw her, wasn’t she?  ‘Her spirit’? He had met her once!  What was wrong with him?  It was true, though.  That was something about her that, despite the suit and the situation that they met in, made him feel like she would be more at home running barefoot through the forest or relaxing by the sea.

Either way, now all he had to do was wait for her to reply back.  If she rejected the offer, well, he didn’t want to think about that, because that meant he probably was never going to see her again.  Meeting her once was enough to make her haunt his every thought for the past three days.  While he and his friends had finally ironed out how they were going to go full-time with YouTube, she had been right in the back of his mind.  

He had looked up her name and ran across a few things.  She really was the daughter of two bodyguards of the British royal family and her adoptive fathers ran a famous Celtic jewelry shop in Aberdeen, the designs being a mix of traditional shapes and styles and new materials.  She did dance for years as a way to channel her energy. There was even a video online of her at sixteen doing a ballet routine to a Kylie Minogue and Madonna compilation. She had inserted traditional Irish step dance in a way Callum never would have thought worked but it did. Maybe that was because of the sheer joy on her face as she moved.  That made her departure from dance all the stranger and it’s also where information about her basically stopped.  The most recent thing he found was that she worked for Patel and Associates Anti-Fraud Law Office.  

A lawyer…his faerie was a lawyer.  It certainly explained the suit but it was almost absurd.  Here he was imagining her running through the trees and she was surrounded by paperwork in her daily life.  Did she enjoy it?  Did she like spicy food?  What was her type?

Callum hit his head against his desk.  He needed to stop letting his mind drift to her and whether or not she could ever be interested in him.  There was no way someone like him was her type.  She couldn’t hide just how toned her long legs her in her suit.  She probably worked out often while he was a lazy twig that indulged in sleeping in too much.  Also, she was a lawyer.  A lawyer falling for a YouTuber/artist?  Yeah, right.

A stray chip hit his forehead.  Callum looked up to glare at Soren.  “What?”

“You thinking about that hot girl at the cheese shop again?”

“What?  No!”  Callum could feel the blush creepy up on his cheeks and all the way to his ears.

“It’s fine if you were. She was smoking hot.  I never thought I would find white hair hot, but DAMN.”

Claudia hummed in acknowledgement.  “I’m calling it now; she’s Bi or Pan.”

“What makes you say that?” Soren mumbled around a bunch of chips.

Claudia winked.  “Gaydar.”

“Wishful thinking?”

“Maybe some of that, too,” Claudia shrugged.  

“She’s got two dads,” Callum mumbled.

Soren, Claudia, and Ezran all turned to him.  “Does she now?” Claudia asked.

“Yeah.  She told me at the shop.  It was the painting of Aunt Amaya and Aunt Janai that made her accept my offer.  She was raised by her parents’ friends, hence, two dads.  They run Gael Jewelers in Aberdeen.”  

Claudia immediately pulled out her phone, probably to look them up.  Shortly after, she whistled.  “Wow. She comes from a really good-looking family.  Her mom is a totally MILF.”

Soren rolled his eyes. “Claudia, you can’t just-” Claudia shoved the picture in his face. “MILF alert.”

“Mm-hmm.”  Claudia scrolled through.  “Ethari and Runaan and are also incredibly attractive.  Damn.  What is in the water in Scotland?”

Callum rolled his eyes. “Guys.  Let’s focus.  Do we need a production manager?”

Claudia shrugged.  “My vote is you’re in charge of creative for group projects, we run our own channels, and we hire an editing assistant.”

“We also need a social media manager.  Ez can’t do it all on his own while he’s in school.”

Ezran nodded.  “It’s nice that you guys do your own channel stuff, but, sometimes, it would be nice to have some help.”

“Do we need a strong social media presence?  We have YouTube and Twitter.  Isn’t that enough?”

Ezran scratched the back of his neck.  “Maybe? Claudia’s got a large following on Tumblr ever since she came out during one of her make-up tutorials.  Her super casual ‘my ex-girlfriend taught me how to do this and this is the first time I’ve done this eyeliner look since we broke-up’ just made her blow-up and our channel gained thousands of followers over-night.”

Callum nodded.  “We gained a lot of followers after I did that art tutorial with Janai, too.  A lot of people just went gaga over her and I see a lot of requests for her to come back on the channel.”

“Which is where a social media manager could come in handy.  Maybe they could track requests so we don’t have to?”

Soren sighed, taking another handful of his chips.  “We also need someone to help us with events.  Getting us into them, working booths…being famous is hard work.”

“We aren’t famous, Soren.”

“Beg to differ.  I get stopped all the time.”  Soren flexed his arm.  “And it’s not just because of these guns.”  The other three in the room rolled their eyes.  

“Himbo,” Claudia coughed, no-so-subtly.  

“WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?! Stop using words I don’t know!”

“Stop being a himbo.”

“CLAUDS!”  

Ezran and Callum shared a look, snorting at their childhood friends’ teasing.  Soren and Claudia couldn’t go five minutes without teasing each other or making a serious situation humorous.  “Can’t take them anywhere,” Callum whispered.

Ezran nodded.  “Bait is better behaved.”

Callum eyed the frog in the glass bowl Ezran took with him wherever he could.  “He’s glaring at me again.”

“Because you won’t stop thinking about that girl.”

“It’s not my fault she won’t leave my head.  You saw her, Ez.”

“Yeah, she’s beautiful, but she’s not running through my head like she is your’s.  Are you even ready for another relationship?  After Melissa-”

“Melissa was a nightmare. She constantly asked to be introduced in our videos.  I didn’t know at the time, but you were right, she approached me because she wanted to piggyback off our growing fame.”  Callum ran a hand through his hair.  “I was an idiot.”

Ezran put a hand on his shoulder.  “I wasn’t going to say that.  I was going to say that Melissa really hurt you and I want you to be careful.  You didn’t even like her that much, if I remember correctly.”

“She was nice, pretty, liked some of the same things I did.  But she didn’t really inspire me to be better or push my art.  She only encouraged the YouTube thing, not what I actually like.”

“She is why we got almost fifty thousand subscribers in one week, though.  That story broke and you had to give that little video and it really stuck with people.”

Callum remembered that video.  As a way to quiet down any questions, he had made a short video detailing how they had met (in a coffee shop), why they had never gone public (he had wanted to keep his private life and his YouTube life separate), that she had met his family but they kept it hush-hush (impossible not to meet Ezran after knowing Callum for a week), and that the break-up had not been mutual.  Callum had broken-up with her because he had felt that it wasn’t working because they wanted different things.  Melissa pushed the YouTube thing, and there was nothing wrong with that, but, if Callum was going to be known for social media and videos, he wanted to be proud of what he put out into the universe.  He loved his art more, and, if he could, that would be all he did.  Melissa had wanted to do sponsorships and Callum hadn’t.  They just had different values and desires and no one else was owed this knowledge, but Callum had been forced to do damage control because people would not stop asking.  “Yeah. I was really surprised that that happened.”

“People value honesty. I think it comes across in our videos and your art tutorials that you are not in this for the fame.  We’ve done meet and greets and you are just awkward as anything.  Melissa showed her true colors on her own with posts afterwards.”  Callum didn’t even want to think about how Melissa had tried to monetize their break-up.  It had been bizarre to see her sponsored by a make-up wipe company to tell her side of the story, which basically confirmed everything in Callum’s video, but with the caveat that she had wanted him to reach new heights and that YouTube and not his ‘lame art’, as she had put it, was the way to do that.  Their fans had not taken kindly to that and Melissa had lost thousands of followers she had gained overnight in even less time.

“Social media is weird, Ez. No matter what, we have got to stay away from the drama.  We do not want to be involved in any of that.”

“Yep.  That’s why I think a social media manager could help.  A good one.”

“I’m all for it if that’s what keeps our noses clean.”  Callum straightened when his phone alerted him to a text.  

He opened it to see it was from Rayla ‘The woods?  OK.  I’m still bringing my friend.  When’s good for you?  It would have to be on a weekend for me because of work.  Sorry about that.’

“Holy shit,” Callum whispered.

“What?” Ezran looked over his shoulder to read the text.  “That text sounds weird.  Callum-”

“I know, Ez, but she didn’t say ‘no’.  She didn’t reject me.”  Ezran raised a brow.  “You know what I mean.”

“You’ve got it bad.”

“I just need to draw her to get her out of my system.”

“Either that or she is your muse.  Poor Aunt Janai.  She was having so much fun being your muse.  So was Khessa.”  Callum chuckled.  Khessa, Janai’s older sister, did enjoy modeling for Callum.  His exhibit on women of color had been a smash hit in part because of her always accepting when he asked.  She had once modeled with a crown while sitting on a throne and that particular piece now hung in her house in her living room, showed off to everyone who came over.  Callum smiled as he remembered that exhibit.  His crowing achievement, to this day, was the portrait of his mother, eyes softened, and an easy, loving smile on her lips.  People thought of her as this rough former military general and tactician who once taught at military academies.  They didn’t know that she had a sweet tooth or that her relationship with Callum’s father had led her to leaving the military because she saw that the push for peace was more important.  

She was now known for her discussions on US-South Korean and US-Thai relations because both her parents were immigrants and her own history in South Korea.  Sarai and Amaya had both spent half their childhoods in South Korea in Korean schools, helping Sarai learn how the rest of the world saw the States. She and Amaya and joined the military because it helped pay for university, but both found they were really good at it. So good at it, they extended their contracts before finally leaving to focus on family and peaceful negotiations. Callum was proud of his mother’s work and was proud of the picture showing the softer side of her so many people didn’t see.  

He shook his head and sent a quick text to Rayla that next Saturday worked for him if it worked for her.  This Saturday was in a few days and, if things went how Ezran wanted, they were probably going to be doing interviews all weekend for a social media manager.  “Let’s get a social media manager, Ez.”

“YES!”

------------------------------------------

Rayla smiled at the text. The woods was a bit of a strange option, but she was excited.  She hadn’t had a chance to go running through the trees barefoot in years.  She was going to have to ask Corvus if he was willing to head out early so she could do so.  She mentally thought of her wardrobe and realized she didn’t have anything flowing that she was willing to get dirty.  She was going to have to go thrift store shopping.  

Was she really going to go buy a dress so a random artist that she had met one time could draw her surrounded by trees?  Yeah, she was and she was going to look so good she was going to haunt his mind like he haunted her’s.  His voice followed her and she had watched all of his videos in three days.  She barely slept because she wanted to hear him more or see him smile or laugh.  She felt like one of those stalkers who was convinced a famous person was in love with them, but she had met him in real life.  He had approached her, he had asked to draw her.  Either way, she wanted him to be tongue-tied when he saw her and, hopefully, she was going to quell some of the fire that refused to leave her belly since they had shaken hands.

The Scripture

➸ Rules, read before requesting.

This is a multi-fandom blog and there's a possibility that I might even start writing for even MORE fandoms. Each fandom has specific rules that I'm going to specify. If you plan on requesting a fandom from me, check the rules for the fandom.

General rules

No explicit nsfw, its not something I see myself being able to write any time soon. Suggestive stuff I'm chill with.

One character per one-shot request.

3-4 characters per headcanon request is the limit. The Haikyuu fandom is the only fandom that works around this, I'll specify how in the Haikyuu specific rules.

Please when you request do characters from the same fandom, if you don't I'm gonna do separate post for each fandom you requested for separately. It would be easier for me if you just sent in multiple asks with the same prompt just with the character's separated by show.

I wanna elaborate on that a little cause I feel like I explained it sorta badly. If you request "Dating HCs with Izuku, Katsuki, Kageyama and Tsukishima" I would make two separate posts, one for the haikyuu characters and one with the my hero characters. I would prefer if you sent in two different asks. "Dating HCs with Izuku and Katsuki" and then "Dating HCs with Kageyama and Tsukishima" I don't mind the spam.

If the character is below the age of 16 I only write platonic stuff with them (The my hero boys are 16)

I write all genres but I'm still trying to get the hang of angst.

I can do mini text SMAU's. I'm open for you sending in concepts for a SMAU series that I would ofc credit you for. I've been thinking about doing one for a while, but no ideas have hit me.

Please be specific with your requests, I need more than "Fluff with xxx" but like slightly more detail than that is the bare minimum.

I don't care if your request description runs long, I'll work with almost anything, slightly vague or really specific.

I'll take requests where the reader's appearance is the prompt.

I do POC!Readers as well, I enjoying being inclusive.

I'll write for, but won't romanticize mental illness/disorders in readers, like I said I like being inclusive, but keep in mind if I don't have that mental illness it'll take longer for the request to get done because I want to educate myself on it. If I feel like I won't be able to capture it well I may deny the request.

I'll do platonic and familial x readers, but DEFINITELY no incest

The only triggering/sensitive topics I won't do is s**cide and s*lf harm. But some topics I might feel uncomfortable doing, no hard feelings if I deny the request because of it.

I'll never do teacher x student.

I won't do character x character, or character x oc

But I love hearing about your OCs!!!! The only reason I won't write for them is because I don't think I'll have a good understanding of their character. But if theres a scenario you relate to your OC that I can manage to put into reader insert form I'll do it! I don't care how specific the scenario is!

I offer a shit ton of loopholes to combat me not doing character x oc stuff! And I encourage you to find some that I don't specify here in the rules.

I'll do song requests... If I like the song. I'm really not picky with my music, though (My playlist is 20+ hours long and the only way you can achieve that is with not being picky with music)

It's totally okay to ask for a prompt I've already done but with different characters.

I do emergency requests when I feel like I can get a piece done within a week. I can be a fast writer when I want to be.

School can and will hit me like a truck sometimes, if you're request ain't done fast I'm probably underneath a mountain of schoolwork, please have patience. If you rush me I might just delete your request.

Treat me with respect. Its the barest minimum.

I don't do matchups unless its some sort of special occasion.

I write for all genders but fem and GN the best, male isn't completely off the table, though.

I don't do yandere themes.

I don't do poly requests simply because I feel like I wouldn't be good at it.

I am very biased. There's a 90% chance that if you compliment me in your request I'll get it done quicker I'm not gonna lie to you.

I'm a really lenient person and if your request doesn't obviously go against these rules there's a 9/10 chance I'll do it.

My hero academia rules.

I write for almost all the characters except for Mineta and the extra boys in 1A that get like a line per season (Sero is NOT included when I say that, he is a king who I will write for). I don't write for Overhaul, Endeavor or any characters only introduced in the manga, either though.

I write for the girls and women of My Hero.

Quirk specific requests are a-ok (Another loophole around me not doing character x oc)

But when you do request something revolving around the reader's quirk please provide a thorough explanation of it.

I refuse to accept Katsuki's hero name as Dynamight so yeah we still call him ground zero on this blog 😐

I'll age the 1A boys up to the point where they're pro heroes if the prompt calls for it, but not for nasty reasons.

I know the my hero fandom is so much more than just toxic but it does exist, so please don't bring any stuff onto this blog, this isn't even a "request rule" per se. I'm never up to date with fandom drama like that and I'm not very interested in it 99% of the time.

I just want good vibes.

Haikyuu request rules

When I said that haikyuu didn't follow the 3-4 character rule limit, I meant that sometimes I do writing that includes the entire team.

Its usually short little headcanons, though. Nothing too full fledged and they might not even be reader inserts.

I write for almost all teams and characters that have been introduced thoroughly. The only characters that are pretty popular that I don't write for are: Makki, Ennoshita, Terushima, Hoshiumi, and Kinoshita.

All other characters are pretty much on the table.

I believe in pretty setter supremacy.

Although I don't read the manga, I know what all the Haikyuu boys' occupations are post-timeskip so feel free to request something pertaining to that.

I can't think of anything else so that's it for haikyuu specific rules.

Bungou Stray Dogs rules.

I'm trying to catch up on the manga, but as of right now I do not write manga-only characters.

I don't write for Fyodor, either but other than him I don't think I have a problem with any other characters. I don't enjoy writing for The Guild (with an exception being Poe) but they are still on the table

The only time I would feel comfortable writing about the triggering topics I said I wasn't gonna do is when it comes to Dazai, its his main personality trait so its unavoidable lmao.

I'll do requests that have the reader with a specific ability!! (One of the loopholes of me not writing for OCs)

But please provide a good explanation of the ability.

ask dump! Separated loosely by topic 

Questions and Comments

1. is this a homestuck thing. this is a homestuck thing isnt it  2. lol i love doing both!!! i love world building but i also like trying my hand at redesigning the mess that is canon fashion. @theoretical-artist​ 3. thank you!!! oritel and marion are in this post! 4. ayyyyy inginio hit me up (thank you lol) 5. Thank you! 6. maybe? i’ll see if i get around to it, i still have a few characters to get to so the school fairies and the last two selkies might show up with them 7. probably not.... it would be super fun but unless it was a commission i don’t feel like i have time haha 8. I’ve seen their blog around!! i can’t remember if i follow or not but i know who ur talking about and they cool @winxy-writing @winxys-written-world

Character and Worlbuilding

1. My brilliant nerd daughter!!! She sometimes gets so into coding or a video game she forgets to eat or drink so the girls watch out for her. She’s prone to dissociating, especially if the situation is emotional. Her hair is really soft. she actually loves sappy romantic things but has trouble accepting them or vocalizing that she wants them because they’re impractical/illogical. she discovered romcoms when she got to alfea and they are her ultimate guilty pleasure(only flora knows abt this and is always slipping recs to her) 2. They’re weirdly one of my fav couples??? like maybe its because i relate to and have projected onto both of them lmao. but any ways. Daphne and Thoren actually met when they were kids, but didn’t spend much time together because it was at a formal event. Daphne is technically 20 years older than Thoren(only a few years older than Sky), but they’re the same physical age because Daphne spent so long as a spirit. They probably wouldn’t get married as quickly in my version, especially with Daphne’s trauma. Daphne will have nightmares sometimes and Thoren has a whole routine for comforting her and helping her feel safe and grounded. Thoren gets anxious easily, and Daphne will use her magic to subtly change the environment so he feels more comfortable. they like to watch reality tv together and yell at dramatic people. 3. omg yes. this was the most frustrating thing i was watching through winx with my dad like a month ago and every time bloom called her adoptive parents by their first names i yelled at her lol. she would call Vanessa mama and Mike daddy(if you make a kink joke i will eat your liver). She would call Marion and Oritel mom and dad.  4. Yeah kind of! part of her exhaustion in Dowlland was the fact that she had been in fairy mode for so long, hiking underground, and tossed around in a river like??? anybody would need a pick me up after that. She (and all solarians) do have to live where there’s a lot of natural light as they require a high amount of vitamin d(or the equivalent of it for solarians). short trips usually aren’t a problem, Stella is just hella unlucky in the second season lmao. @moonpeachblossom 5. the short answer as to why she’s a blond (scottish??? in one of the dubs???) in an asian inspired culture/planet is because racism (or not so short bcus its a lot to unpack honestly). the answer in my version however is a pretty simple fix. She bleaches her hair. she’s paler than musa but she aint white.  6. I haven’t really yet!! Helia is struggling with his two fairly opposed cultural influences, trying to figure what he wants and whats right for him. He was raised on Lynphea but had frequent trips to Vaonaa. Lynphea is very grounded, they’re slow and steady and stubborn. Vaonaa is much more flexible, they’re flighty and spontaneous and easily adaptable. Helia’s dads love eachother and helia very much but they are VERY different people and both want different things from Helia(they try not to pressure too much but the expectations are still there). Helia’s Vaonaaj dad wants him to pursue magic, specifically wind or air magic. Helia’s Lynphean dad wants him to become a warrior. Helia feels like he’s kind of a misfit in both Vaonaaj and Lynphean culture. It took a while, but he did finally confide his feelings in Flora and she encouraged him to talk with his dads about finding his niche.  7. oooooooh fun fun relationshipsssss Bloom and Sky: so bloom and sky aren’t the most stable couple, and in my version it would take bloom a little longer to be ok with dating a prince. Bloom is fairly insecure in her relationships because of self worth issues, and tend to run away from problems instead of dealing with them. Sky on the other hand is confident but doesn’t really know how to handle people’s feelings and tends to push confrontation. I do believe that with better writing Sky and bloom could be a dope couple but as is in canon they’re VERY problematic.  Stella and Brandon: babies. they love each other so much its the best omg. Stella finds her worth in her appearance but she always seems to take brandon’s complements in a less.... arrogant way? if that makes sense? like she truly appreciates them and wants his support. i wish we knew more about Brandon but he’s legit such a good boyfriend. I think they fight mostly when Stella is being a little selfish, or when Brandon is too busy to meet her emotional needs. Flora and Helia: MORE BABIES. so Helia is more of a drama queen in the comics but we’ll ignore that for right now lol. Flora and Helia are probably the least problematic couple in the entire show. They met. Flirted a little. Confessed. and started dating with out any major problems. if i can remember correctly they don’t even really fight??? unless icy has frozen helia’s heart or something lol. I think both Helia and Flora’s love language is quality time so they’re fairly low key and just like to be in the same space and each other.   Musa and Riven: boy oh boy. Ok so, ignoring the several times Riven was LITERALLY MIND CONTROLLED his character is still difficult to deal with. I think Musa and Riven are both very intense people, and while that can be super fun and develop into a good relationship, it can also lead to LOTS of problems. I think my major problem with how they broke up was that Musa didn’t support Riven’s training? like i understand being upset you can’t see ur person often, or if they’re really busy, but Riven supported Musa’s music several times in the previous seasons it just seemed weird Musa was so unfairly demanding of him? Tecna and Timmy: nerd babies. They’re super cute honestly. I think Timmy was probably the one to instigate the relationship and bonded with Tecna over technology since she wasn’t super emotionally available at first. They have issues when Tecna is unable to voice her emotions and timmy needs to know what she’s feeling mostly, but after the first few times they’ve both learned to give the other space to figure their stuff out. Aisha and Nabu: ugh perfect couple. minus the kind of sketchy beginning lol. Aisha and Nabu generally don’t fight once they get used to each other. Nabu is a focal point that aisha is kind of bungee corded to if that makes sense? like obvi not in a restricting way. its just Aisha is hella active and needs her own space to explore and grow, but Nabu is her solid ground that she relies on.  Aisha and Nex: i actually don’t hate nex as much as the rest of the fandom lol. so like i said Aisha is an active, independent woman, and if Nabu was a separate, stationary, focal point for her, I think Nex is related, moving, counter point. So like Nex can actually keep up with Aisha, and push her and challenge her. Which isn’t a bad thing in relationships so long as a mutual respect is there.   8. well. canon is a little..... messy. My version of the girls definitely retain their individualism. for other differences... they’re just a little more fleshed out? i guess? like Bloom’s moody behavior in the show i think is because of her insecurity issues, so that plays a part in how i draw her and think of her.  9. ok wow this is gonna be tough well here we go Sky: I think sky is an ESTJ he’s not super emotional(inf Fe) but can lean toward controlling(dom Te). he seems to like tradition and think social promises are important(Si). Brandon: ESFJ. Brandon is the mom friend of the boys ok. He goes along with sky’s crazy plans, tries to subtly set Riven up with musa(season 1 i think?), some how managed to land a social butterfly like Stella and seems to just navigate social situations REALLY easily(dom Fe). he also seems to hate being disrespected or taken for granted(Si) stella does this occasionally.  Timmy: ISFJ???? thats the vibe i get hear me out ok so in season 2 Timmy gets tecna the exact computer part she needs because 1. He knows they both like things to be practical(Si) 2. He knows and remembered the part she was talking about and filed it away in his brain(Ti) and 3. He and Tecna bonded over tech (Fe) Riven: honestly he’s a tough one.... Maybe a really stunted and angry ISFJ? (speaking from personal experience i am an ISFJ) i don’t have a real reason why but riven’s behavior is really confusing in the show so it makes typing tough..... possibly INTJ as well....... Helia: ISFP. Lmao I might be basing this entirely off of stereotypes but helia has a strong pacifist belief and can be moody(Fi, and more in the comics lol) is attuned to his surroundings(Se) seems pretty focused??(Ni) and i can’t think of his Te showing up be it is an inferior  Nabu: ISTJ weirdly a good fit with Aisha(ESTP) tho?? even though he’s an Si dom, he doesn’t go along with the arranged marriage because its not what he believes(Fi) and he’s stubborn about it(Te). Roy: ENFJ honestly just a cutie. He’s personable(Fe), focused for the most part(Ni), and is comfortable in his environment(Se).  Nex: ENTP? maybe?? He’s pretty impulsive and has that “work around” mentality I associate with ENTPs.... idk this one doesn’t seem to fit super well...  Thoren: Maybe INFJ?? i mean thoren honestly doesn’t have a lot of screen time but he’s attentive(Ni), and tries to take care of people(Fe). most of the infj’s i know are fun but weird lol, but i think thoren has anxiety so that could play into him being less “out there” in his behavior.  if any of yall have input on this feel free to let me know. 10. ooooooh good question. So I’m basing these on their parent’s name and the names of people from their planet. Bloom: Hestia or Enya, i also think she got sent to earth with an article of clothing or a blanket that had her name on it, which is why her name is the same lmao Stella: Stella is actually named pretty appropriately considering the other names we have are Luna, Radius, Nova, Chimera, and Casandra, all of those are fairly latin/roman based names.  but she could also be called Clara, Aura, Venus etc. Musa: Her mom and dad have very asian sounding names but the princess of melody is named Galatea, so honestly anything is on the table. Aulos, Hee-Young, Jia Li, Kaida, etc. Tecna: lol everybody on Zenith has ridiculous names so im just loosely basing them off of sciencey stuff. Nobelia, Xenon, Titania. Aisha: I actually really like Aisha’s name! Ayize, Sizani, Mehrbano would work tho. Flora: what even is the naming system of Lynphea i don’t understand it. Im gonna make them vaguely naturey and European-ish?? Calla, Terra, Rowan, Willow, I could go on and on there are so many plant names. 11. Hmmm yeah, so basically in my world a person with TOO MUCH magic gets overwhelmed and kinda goes a little crazy(the ancestral witches) the same thing happens with tritannus when he gets the emperor's throne power. He’s loyal to icy and she to him until he looses his ability to think clearly and turns on icy, icy gets freaked out and leaves with her sisters when they swoop in to rescue her. they don’t so much “break up” as they are “broken up” by the circumstances. In general Tritannus does really like Icy, hes attracted to her ambition and powerful personality. Icy started out just manipulating Tritannus but caught feelings oops 12. Yeah so, humans in general can withstand a lot of wild magic as their body “metabolizes” it quickly. Kalshara(the cat lady you don’t know the name of) used extremely concentrated samples, combined with other spells to keep the wild magic in her body permanently. If a human with out a properly developed magic biome (a lot of earthians only have a low functioning one) get exposed to a wild magic source they would probably gain some aspects of fairy animals, probably not like, fur, or anything but eye and hair color changes, maybe some patterns on the skin. but there’s also the chance that they would just.... die..... cus that happens with animals too lmao sry. @weirdghostly

how’d we end up on a road we never took (chapter 3)

read on ao3

Kate doesn’t know quite yet whether she would rather be cheering right now.

It’s been half an hour and Riley has not stopped interrogating Eva.

Annleigh won’t stop reminding Riley about the no significant others during official cheer activities rule, but Riley insists this is an exception because it can be a learning experience.

Cairo is glaring at Eva so hard that Kate thinks she might burn a hole in her head.

That just leaves Chess, Farrah, and Kate in tense silence while Reese tries to make conversation.

“Guys I think we can be really good this year if we have the right attitude,” Reese says with a giant smile. Kate resists her natural urge to roll her eyes and instead just nods. She feels bad for the mascot who has tried out for the team every year to no avail. Kate knows Reese deserves to be on the team more than most people, more than herself even, but is too scared to say it out loud.

Chess and Farrah don’t even respond. The two girls rarely speak around each other after the incident. Farrah hates Chess for dropping her, and Chess feels so bad that she just stays quiet around the younger girl.

The sad part is that Kate knows if things went slightly differently, they could have been there for each other. Chess has always been the resident mom friend, and she had talked with Kate about how she wanted to take Farrah under her wing. How they could go to rehab together and finally get better. But that was before the Tigers went viral.

That’s just the bullshit that’s high school, Kate thinks, one bad thing feels like the whole world is crumbling down.

Reese goes on and on and on as Kate doesn’t listen but pretends like she is until it’s finally halftime. As soon as the clock hits zero Kate jumps up and says, “Eva and I are going to get some concessions.”

“Is that codeword for make out in the bathroom?” Farrah mutters as Eva and Kate awkwardly stare at each other.

“Why do you always have to do that?” Annleigh asks as she looks at her sister. They begin to bicker, and Kate uses that as their cue to leave.

“Eva I am so sorry I should have warned you how much of a mess our team is,” Kate says as they leave the bleachers.

“It’s fine, West High isn’t much better believe it or not. “

“No way, you guys are so good?”

“We have so much drama Kate. And they didn’t take it very well when I came out and stuff,” Eva says with a sadness to her voice.

“Eva that’s horrible I’m sorry. Here Riley just likes to remind us that we are all accepted no matter what color of the rainbow with which we identify as she stares at me and Cairo stares at her,” Kate says with a laugh.

Eva chuckles and says, “Yeah I thought Cairo was actually going to murder me there for a second.”

“She’s so in love with Riley and refuses to see it, it’s ridiculous.”

“They’d be such a cute couple.”

The girls talk about the Tigers squad as they get to the concession stand. Eva gets a bad of M&M’s while Kate gets Airhead Xtremes and Twizzlers as Eva pulls out her wallet. Kate begins to take out some cash, but Eva stops her.

“You got the coffee earlier, I got this,” Eva says as she hands the cashier the money.

“Thanks Eva,” Kate says opening her Airheads.

“I can’t say I’m not judging the fact that you want Twizzlers though.”

“They aren’t for me,” Kate explains, “They’re for Chess. She loves them.” Eva looks at her questioningly as Kate continues, “Don’t look at me it’s not my fault Chess has negative tastebuds.”

The girls make their way back to the cheerleaders as halftime comes to a close. Kate chucks the Twizzlers at an unsuspecting Chess, who laughs at being hit smack dab in the middle of her head.

Surprisingly, the rest of the game goes by uneventfully. Cairo has finally captured Riley’s attention as the girls have a conversation with Annleigh, Farrah, and Reese leaving Chess, Kate, and Eva to themselves.

Kate is shocked at how easy conversation comes with Eva. The only person she’s ever been able to talk to for hours on end and enjoy herself is Chess. But between the three of them, Kate forgets that she’s supposed to be the gloomy one in the group.

As Chess and Eva talk about skateboarding Kate tunes out for a second. She thinks about how much she’s enjoying being around Eva. All she can do is hope they can remain friends after their staged breakup because she can see their trio becoming a solid unit.

The game ends with the Tigers losing 46-0 and Riley brings all the girls in for a departing pep talk.

“So you all already know Cairo and I are conducting auditions for a new freshman tomorrow after school which means the annual sleepover will be Saturday! Think about ways in which we can use our spirit to make the school a better place. See you all there!”

Kate raises her eyebrows in mock excitement as Riley finishes her speech.

Eva grabs Kate’s hand as the rest of girls go their separate ways. Kate knows they agreed holding hands was alright, but it still shocks her and causes her heart to beat ever so quickly.

You’re just nervous, holding hands is new territory, Kate tells herself.

Chess approaches the duo, “Kate is Eva giving you a ride or do you want me to take you home?”

“I can do it-” Eva begins but Kate interrupts, “Eva you live on the other side of town. Chess is a few houses down from me it’ll be easier.” Eva nods and Kate realizes she doesn’t quite know how to say goodbye.

It’s just Chess who’s with them, so they don’t have to sell their relationship in this moment, but Kate still doesn’t know what to do. Do they hug? Do they wave? A kiss on the cheek or something similar seems like something a couple would do, but they agreed kissing was passing a line.

Luckily Eva isn’t as awkward as Kate, so she squeezes the girl’s hand as she walks away towards her own car. Kate smiles as she walks away, and Chess watches her friend’s gaze.

Kate gets into Chess’s car with a cheesy smile on her face, one that’s usually reserved for Chess's antics, but now it belongs to Eva too.

Chess begins to drive before she says anything to smaller girl.

“Kate can you promise me something?”

“Yeah…” Kate replies suspicious but trusting of her friend.

“Just, please take care of your heart.” Kate is a bit confused by the statement and doesn’t respond so Chess continues, “You don’t fall for people often but when you do it’s hard and you get reckless with your own feelings.”

“Chess I’m not actually dating Eva, you know that. This arrangement won’t hurt anyone.”

“I know. I just wanted to make sure,” Chess says earnestly.

And Kate wouldn’t accept anyone else’s advice like this, but this is Chess and everything is different when she’s with her best friend.

“Thanks for always looking after me Chess. I don’t know what I’m gonna do without you.”

“It’s only college Kate and we still have a whole year left together,” Chess says glancing at Kate as they pull into her driveway.

The girls say their goodbyes for the night as Kate makes her way towards her room.

As she’s getting ready for bed, she sees that Eva texted her.

Eva: I had fun tonight, thanks for letting me tag along

Kate: if you had fun tonight you might be a psychopath and in that case this isn’t gonna work out

Eva: Ok Riley was a little intense, but I enjoyed talking to you and Chess.

Kate: ig that’s fair we are the most fun people on the team

Eva: Oh in that case I’m so lucky I ended up with you

Eva: I mean like being friends with you out of everyone else

Kate: well in my case i’m lucky i ended up friends with the pizza girl

Kate: you better get me free pizza

Eva: I don’t think that’s allowed

Kate: i'm breaking up with you

Eva: Lol, goodnight Kate

Kate: night

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day goes by uneventful. Luckily Kate doesn’t have to participate in tryouts so she only had to go to her classes and could go home right after. Unluckily, however, is that both Chess and Eva are working so Kate has no one to hang out with.

So instead she takes some self-care time before she has to deal with the sleepover tomorrow.

Kate is really not looking forward to it. She can name at least ten different ways to die that are bound to be less painful than a night with the squad.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before she has too much time to overthink it, Kate finds herself getting into Chess’s car to make their way to the sleepover Saturday night.

“Please please please can we just go back to your house instead and have our own sleepover,” Kate begs.

“Kate we’ve been over this,” Chess says as she lists the reasons why this is a good thing. Unfortunately Riley only lives about five minutes away so Kate doesn’t have a long enough ride to persuade Chess to bail.

They park on the street outside Riley’s house and Kate tries one final attempt to get Chess to leave with her. Chess once again refuses and they walk towards the Williams’s home together, waiting to see what the night might bring.

High School English Drama Class

This was way back in High School and that was yeaaars ago. I still remember the story because of the emotional scar that came with it. Not too sure if this is petty or pro but I think I had planned it a little for it to fall under petty. This is pretty long so please stay with me! TLDR at the bottom.

I was a nerd but I went to a HS that was made up of 100% nerds too. We all cared about grades. We weren’t into arts but we did have an English drama class that we took with no exceptions. It wasn’t an elective, it was a requirement for some reason.

For our finals, the teacher separated us into 2 groups to present the same play. We didn’t have assignments or anything for the whole year so she wants us to do a big play. Her words were “impress me!” So our final grade will rely on this presentation plus the attendance the whole year.

The teacher assigned a leader and director for both teams. We were going to be in charge of the whole team. My friend and I were assigned as the leader and director of our respective teams. A note that our class had friend groups too. All my friends were in the other team and I just had acquaintances in this group.

All was fine and dant until we’ve cast the leads for our play. We didn’t have a lot of males in class and we had a lot of male parts in the play. Our group unanimously voted for Shitty Lead Actor (SLA) to be the lead actor. He accepted it. Now onto rehearsals.

We scheduled rehearsals after school in one of our classmate’s house. She lives near the school so we set a time, if class lets out at 4:00pm the rehearsal will start at 6:00 pm. They are expected to get food or go home for change of clothes during that 2 hour time slot.

As a group of 15 members, 6:00 pm doesn’t always mean the start of rehearsals. Most people get there on or before 7:00 pm. That was fine, I understand time is tight and all. But one person got in my nerve so bad. Yes, it was SLA. He was never a few minutes late or an hour late, he was just always LATE. He never came in before 8:00 pm. NEVER. Not once.

Now the problem is that he is a lead actor. So he was ALWAYS in the scene. It was super hard to rehearse a scene when he was not there. So what happened is that the first 2 hours was set for just preparing props and my actors memorizing with me. We start actual rehearsal when SLA comes in about 8:00 pm.

He hasn’t even memorized his lines so we spend another hour memorizing lines and practicing blocking. It was super hard to finish everything within the time allowed because we all need to leave at 10:00 pm to go home.

As you can imagine, I was tired and stressed with him. He was just so hard to deal with. I tried talking to him, pleading and even seriously favours if he just took his role properly. He never budged. I had all but cried to him.

SLA is pretty much the “popular guy” in a school full of nerds so almost everyone in my team is friends with him. He started spreading rumours about me and talking behind my back. He said I was a hard ass, that I had a crush on him (gross) and that they should not come in time for the rehearsals because I was just a waste of time. I was devastated when I found out.

The best part was that SLA embarrassed me in class when we had this activity in religion class. The teacher had us write things about our other classmates anonymously and put them in a bowl of either “Good” or “Bad”. I only had “Bad” written about me all pertaining to my being the leader and director of the play.

The theme of the complaint is that I had a problem with SLA being late to rehearsals. Just imagine HS students writing horrible stuff about their classmates, that was it. They wrote that knowing fully well our teacher was going to read it out loud in front of everyone.

I cried in the bathroom with my friends. It was when I formulated the plan to get back at SLA (and a little to everyone else).

Everyone saw how mad I was. What they had forgotten was that as a leader, I was in charge of grading them.

Now onto a little petty revenge!

That day I scheduled a practice for 5:00 pm instead of 6:00 pm. None of them complained.

After class let out, I came to the other group’s rehearsals instead. As they were all my friends, they let me hang out there for the duration of the time I was hiding out from my group mates.

At about 6:00 pm, my teammates were texting me about where I was. I didn’t answer them.

At about 7:00 pm they were calling me, I didn’t answer.

At 8:00 pm, I arrive at the rehearsals. Everyone was present and working on the props. I assumed they would actually go home but they didn’t ditch that day. A surprise.

Most of them apologized for getting out of hand. I said ok but I didn’t tell them I forgave them. SLA never apologized, ofc.

Because I was obviously mad, SLA wasn’t acting up during rehearsals. I have no idea if he knew he pushed too hard or if he was just bidding his time. The rehearsals went well and that was all I cared about. We had so much done with the 2 hours that night than all the other nights combined.

After what happened, I was not friendly with my group mates anymore. I was cordial but cold, they never said anything about what happened again after some of them apologizing.

SLA started to arrive on time for rehearsals, had his lines memorized and never said anything in front of me again. If he said anything behind my back, I have no fucking idea.

So the day of the play came, we finished. My teacher was happy blah blah blah. This didn’t really mean anything to me besides good grades. Our teacher loved me, she would honestly believe anything I said. She gave us a very high grade.

I feel like my group mates forgot what the finals entail because when my teacher announced the next day that although there was a group grade, their leaders would grade them individually. The group grade would amount to 50% and the solo grade amounts to the other 50%. The look of shock and fear on my group mates’ faces was worth all the harsh words they threw at me. Most of all, SLA.

So I raised my hand and asked our teacher, “Is there a guideline for grading or is it all up to the leader?”

My teacher went all, “All up to you, lovenotsweet!”

I graded them mostly fairly, I took points for being an ass but I wasn’t going to take a hit on all of them. I was reserving that for someone. The props were amazing so they all got high 80s, the lighting and sound were decent so they all got low 80s, and the actors. The female lead had a flat 90. She never stood up for me but she never said anything bad either. She was so-so so her grade was just what she deserved for her acting.

SLA got a whopping 40% on my grading. He never helped on the props, he never arrived in time besides those last few rehearsals and in my view, his acting was sub par. I had computed the highest I can give him while making sure his final grade for this class never reached the passing grade of 75%.

SLA’s grades didn’t even reach 70% even with the high grade we got as a team. He tried complaining to me about the grade but I didn’t entertain him. He tried going to the teacher, but our teacher likes me AND heard about what happened in religion class. We had a small school, news travel fast. Teacher told SLA she was only changing the grade if I agreed. I didn’t agree.

It was for finals so SLA failed that class spectacularly. A blemish into an otherwise clean record. He moved on from it for the next few years of HS.

I just smiled and bid my time.

The pro revenge didn’t come until senior year.

During senior year we all applied to this prestigious university for an entrance exam. It was a super important school so all of us nerds built our High School career in hopes of getting into this school.

SLA didn’t get to take the exam with us because of his English Drama class grade. The University doesn’t take anyone with a grade below 80% and I guess he forgot about that when he got that grade from English Drama class years ago? SLA had to write an essay explaining why he deserves a chance to take the exam even though he had one failing grade. He had to pay an extra fee for the processing.

SLA took the next batch of exam. He did pass the exams tho. He just had to start University a semester later than everyone else in our batch.

Do I regret ruining his life plans by a few months? Sometimes but then I remember the words said about me in class just because I don’t like someone being late and slacking off. I then forget regret.

TLDR; Classmate embarrassed me in class because I was a “hardass leader” that cared too much about being on time and actually doing the work. He gets the grade he deserved and feels the result years later.

Episode Recap: 3.05, “That Syncing Feeling”

Bex and Andi wait for Bowie at Red Rooster. They want to go see a movie. Bowie says there are a bunch of trailers before the movie, so chill, but Bex wants to see those trailers. (They’re all already online, Bex.)

Andi demands to be in charge of popcorn-related decisions this time. The big complaint is that Bowie puts too much butter on the popcorn, which is almost certainly not true. It’s not too much butter until the bag is dripping onto the floor. If you’re not creating a slipping hazard, you’re not sufficiently buttering your popcorn.

Bex says we’ll get chocolate and mix it in with the popcorn, but Andi’s a firm “no” on that. They decide they’ll all just get their own popcorn instead.

It’s fine they went this direction here and now, but they’d better figure out a cleaner way to deal with stuff like this once they start living together or they’ll find themselves eating meals from three separate restaurants every night. It’ll take hours to get anything done.

It’s about finding compromise. Being clever and resourceful. Like, for example, how about just lightly buttering the popcorn? Is that nuts? Am I talking crazy here? Maybe. But sometimes someone needs to say something truly crazy to really make improvements in this world, and if that man’s gotta be me, so be it.

The next day or whenever, Buffy and Walker skip rocks on the lake while Andi and Cyrus watch.

Good height. Great speed. That’s a damn fine rock skip.

Jonah shows up and is like, “Buffy and Walker, huh?” Wait, weren’t you at the Color Factory when they were on a date? What did you think that was? Maybe he’s just trying out new conversation starters.

Andi thinks those two really like each other, and that’s unfortunate. Cyrus tries to talk about Walker, but Andi’s like, let’s talk about something else so Cyrus tries to talk about something else (geese and their thoughts on schoolyard games) but Andi’s like, “Freakin’ Walker! Always showing up!”

You know what, I kinda love how outwardly hostile Andi is towards her friend’s relationship in front of her other friends at this point. She’s done with this, all of this, and doesn’t care who knows it.

Buffy shows up and shouts “Canoes!” and so they decide to canoe.

Two to a canoe, so Buffy and Walker go together in one canoe and Cyrus and Jonah get into another canoe. This leaves Andi with no one to canoe with. That’s just math, unfortunately. The cruelest of all school subjects.

Andi wanders off to build herself a crown of flowers. Her ability to do crafts anywhere is truly impressive.

Suddenly, Amber comes out the woods like some kind of forest monster.

Never sneak up on someone from the trees! Nothing good comes out of the trees!

Turns out, Amber’s here with her family. Well, she was with her family, but I guess she left them to go sneak around in the woods. Which is a thing she should absolutely not be doing.

Amber wants to know why Andi isn’t canoeing. Andi doesn’t have a reason other than her friends are all canoeing, and, again, math. Also, isn’t it weird how words start to sound strange after you say them a bunch of times, like canoe?

Anyway, she has an Amber as a plus one now, and one plus one is two, which is just the right amount for a canoe. I learned that in the Eagle Scouts.

So Andi and Amber get in a canoe. Turns out, Amber doesn’t like canoeing. I don’t know what kind of exhilaration she thought she was going to get from it, but, surprisingly, it turns out it’s just a bunch of putting your oar in the water and rowing.

Amber gets excited when she sees another canoe, though. Why? Because she would like to ram it and see what happens.

Dark thoughts Amber is back.

Andi’s like, that isn’t the point of canoeing, but Amber’s like, come on, how often do you get a chance to capsize a boat and potentially drown someone in a lake and get away with it?

Andi seems like she’s kind of giving in to the idea, but then sees it’s Buffy and Walker and doesn’t want to ruin their day. I mean, if it was just strangers in a canoe, sure, knock ‘em over and make them swim to shore. But not your friends, obviously.

Andi rows them aside and allows Buffy’s canoe safe passage.

Buffy’s confused to see Andi and Amber in a canoe. Walker doesn’t understand, so Buffy tries to explain why it’s weird by explaining what everyone’s relationship to Amber is, but it turns out there isn’t really a solid answer to what exactly Amber’s relationship is to everyone.

“Our mean waitress” is basically as close as Buffy can get.

Meanwhile, Jonah and Cyrus row their boat, until Cyrus just straight up drops his oar, which is inadvisable when you’re in the middle of a lake.

At Cloud 10, Bex bunches Bowie’s hair into puffs.

Bowie laments the fact he has another lesson with Shaun, who is bad. Bex rightly points out that the child is nine years old, but Bowie thinks he’s a failure of a teacher. Bex thinks it’s too early to give up, but Bowie thinks it’s too hard. He just wants to teach people who don’t need teaching. Getting paid to not really work? That’s the American Dream.

Back at the lake, after Andi has explained the entirety of the relationship drama from the start of season 2B until now, Amber tells her that Buffy’s at fault because “Girl Code.”

Andi’s like, what exactly are we talking about here, this “Girl Code” you speak of? Amber tells her that the first rule is you don’t date people who dated your best friend. Andi’s starts to say that she and Walker didn’t really blah blah blah... but Amber’s firm in her stance that Buffy is a “Girl Code” violator.

And Andi’s like, hmmm... your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

And at that moment, like a perfectly-timed sign sent from the Universe about the perils of listening too closely to Amber of all people, their canoe starts sinking.

Amber and Andi try to paddle to shore but Andi thinks they should abandon ship. I feel like it’s going to be a problem when they go to return the canoes and they don’t have a canoe. At least it’ll make Cyrus’s lost oar look not as bad by comparison. I’ll tell you this much, though: all these kids’ mugshots are going up on the “DO NOT RENT TO THESE PEOPLE” wall inside the canoe rental company’s office.

Amber stands up in the canoe, breaking the first rule of canoeing as laid out in the Ten Commandments of Canoeing. The second rule is “Don’t go out in a canoe your best friend has already gone out in.” The third rule is “Have fun!”

The two fall into the water and have to paddle to shore.

Amber and Andi realize that, despite sinking, they actually had fun out on that there lake and maybe, just maybe, they’re friends now?

That’s what they say about canoeing: it brings people together like nothing else.

At Red Rooster, Bowie gives Shaun an electric guitar to try and see if he can get through to him. Bowie tells him to say “Rock on!” and Shaun says “Rock on” in the least rockstar way possible. He says it like it’s the middle of the sentence, “Hey, there’s a rock on that table that needs geological analysis.”

Every interaction with Shaun is like another little needle stabbing Bowie in the soul.

Bowie tries to teach Shaun a power chord. Shaun strums off-key and that’s the last straw. Bowie gives up. It took one and a quarter lessons and Bowie is utterly defeated. He tells Shaun he can’t teach him, but Shaun’s ok with this because he doesn’t even want to play guitar. Victor wants Shaun to play guitar. Bowie is thrilled, but Shaun tells him he still needs to keep giving him guitar lessons because if he could tell his dad he didn’t want to play guitar, he wouldn’t be sitting in this room trying to play guitar.

Plus, let’s be honest, it seems like Victor really needs this in his life. He feels like the kind of guy who’s one more life disappointment away from building himself a crying shed in the backyard. Oh, you don’t know about crying sheds? It’s just a nice little place to go have your daily cry. 3:00, 3:30 in the afternoon maybe. “Shaun, I put a snack on the table. Don’t hurt yourself. Daddy needs an hour.” And then you just go out there and let loose. Get it all out. Feels good. Feels refreshing. Gives you enough fuel to juuuuust make it through to the next day. Nine years until Shaun’s out of the house. Counting down the days. Then you can finally buy that motorcycle you’ve always wanted. Travel the country like you’ve always wanted. Let the wind run through your hair. Maybe follow Jimmy Buffett around on tour. Anything to finally feel alive again, you know? Like you’re not just going through the motions but really living, dammit. Someday, Victor. Someday.

Anyway, Bowie tells Shaun they'll break the news to Victor together.

Celia shows up at Bex’s to try and get her to go eat wedding cake. Bex, unsurprisingly, is not interested. Andi is, though. She just needs to put on her cake pants.

I’m not a fan of cake pants. They don’t protect the torso. I’m more of a onesie guy myself. Put one on anytime I’m eating so I can just go to town. Do I get looks from the other people eating at Olive Garden? No. Because they’ve come to expect this behavior from me by now. I’ve broken their will. You can normalize anything with repetition.

Andi and Celia partake in a cake-eating montage. They really overdo it. It’s a cake tasting, but they ate like half or more of some of these cakes.

They find themselves miserable from overconsumption of cake, and worse, at odds over what the best cake option is. This could be the end of a peaceful Andi/Celia relationship.

The two return to Bex’s with their cake options, practically screaming at each other over them. They’re also hopped up on sugar. They’re a mess.

They want Bex to pick the cake but Bex doesn’t want to so she mixes up the boxes and blindly picks one. It’s like cake Russian Roulette in that it’s random, dangerous, and leaves everyone in the room feeling kind of bummed out afterwards.

Later that night, Bex returns to the cakes and tries them and it turns out one is actually very good. She hopes it’s the one she picked for her wedding, and, if not, well, she’s learned a valuable lesson about not eating free cake that’s put in front of you. Always take free cake.

At Red Rooster, Bowie sits Victor and Shaun down for a talk and lets Victor know Shaun doesn’t want to play guitar. Victor says that he does, but then Shaun comes out to Victor as someone who doesn’t want to learn guitar. It’s a touching moment between father and son.

Bowie asks Victor if he plays and Victor says yes, air guitar. And then he does air guitar with a sense of sadness far greater than even I expected.

You see, Victor only does air guitar because he wasn’t ever cool enough to play real guitar. I didn’t know they checked that sort of thing before allowing you to take lessons, but I guess that’s the case. Victor thinks it’s too late now, but Bowie tells him it’s never too late. He shows him a guitar chord and Victor plays it. Bowie feels like he can teach again and gets excited. They start playing together. Just a couple of dads rocking out.

Walker, Buffy, and Cyrus eat grilled cheesesus. (Grilled cheesesi?) Walker goes off to get Buffy extra napkins. Cyrus asks if they should invite Andi.

Buffy’s not sure she’d want to come. They decide to invite her next time but Andi just shows up out of the blue like some kind of Walker.

She’s very upbeat about the whole situation because she’s got a surprise of her own: Amber! Appearing from out of nowhere for the second time this episode. Her sneak skill is maxed out. She’s loaded all her skill points into it. She’s practically a ninja at this point. Andi and Amber basically skip off together to get lobster rolls.

And even though Andi wasn’t invited to their group hang in the first place, Buffy still feels ditched. There’s a lesson here, but I’m not sure what it is.

Don’t stand up in a canoe?
