#love him scruffy and a lil sad

Imagine shy beefy Bucky being the little spoon. He feels like he should be the one cuddling you since he’s so much bigger but he loves when you hold him instead.
However.
There’s this one thing you do that always makes him blush and flustered and he just doesn’t understand it.
You love rubbing his tummy.
You hold him from behind, peeking over his shoulder because you love how peaceful he looks when he sleeps. You know he's not actually asleep because his abs are still tensed, worried over how you'd feel with the beefiness that covers his muscular body.
He’s self conscious when your hand slips under his shirt, rubbing his soft but firm tummy up and down; his skin is so warm and you love how plush he is. He’s still getting used to the fact that he isn’t as trim as before. Not that he’s unfit. Quite the opposite. He’s a thick hunk of muscle mass. You can feel the iron like hardness that runs under his skin whenever you're pressed against him. He's so large and perfect to snuggle up with; your grabby little hands love finding their way to his stomach.
"Doll-" He whispers with pink dusted cheeks, holding your wrist away when you sneak over his waist, stroking your skin, "Doll, I- I'm not-" He struggles to get the words out, embarrassed he's not lean like Steve, "Baby, I-
“Shhh, I love you like this” you coo, kissing his shoulder. He shrugs, still not believing you. You tell him how much you adore him every time but he can't help but think back to the time where he was pure muscle without any pudge.
"Sweetheart, you don't have to pretend, I wish I was-"
You shake your head, pressing your lips to his to stop his spiral.
"But you're my big boy" You pout, shuffling over till your straddling him, forcing him to lay back. You huff, pulling his shirt up exposing him, shimmying your hips down so you can curl up on top of his bare torso like a little kitten. You let out a content sigh, pressing your face into his stomach, peppering kisses all over before peering up at him.
"I love your body so much baby" You say sincerely, kissing just below his belly button again for emphasis. "You're so warm and soft and strong, my perfect bear"
Bucky can't help but melt over the way you melt into him, your smaller form using him as a pillow to your hearts content. If you liked him like this, always kneading away at him or trying to burrow yourself into him, who was he to say no?
Cause imagine how fucking hot he'd be when he finally embraces how good he looks with a lil beef. Imagine he stops trying to cover up with large hoodies and henley's. He works out shirtless more.
You're not the only one who drools over him anymore.
All the other trainees can't help but swoon whenever they see him at the punching back or pumping with weights. You have to claw them off him from trying to climb up his legs, desperate to have Sargent Barnes carry them with one arm with ease.
Even the other Avengers can't help but cat call at him because he looks fine af.
Sometime he lets his hair out or ties it half up along with his scruffy cheeks and Tony's taken to calling him a man slut for walking around like that.
"Tony, I don't think thats what slut mean-
"I know what it means. You're telling me he's flaunting all that around and he doesn't know he's hot while doing it? He doesn't know he's getting all this attention?"
Bucky snickers to himself while you coo over your handsome boyfriend, wrapped around him like a koala while the others watch in amusement, your hands skimming all over his body and scratching his beard.
"See? Told you you're perfect like this, big boy"
Imagine he knows you find comfort in him and he no longer feels conscious over it. Whenever your sad and in need of cuddles, he holds you nice and close, usually sans clothing, all skin to skin contact.
He knows you're a little pervert and he'll give into your puppy like eyes, sometimes letting his towel drop after a shower while you grin, shamelessly watching him.
"You're staring again, you little creep" Bucky snorted while applying lotion, dropping his hands when he felt yours paw at his back to take over.
"Just a creep for you, handsome" You quip before continuing your journey exploring his body, moving your hand to his front, deciding to wrap around his co-
Anyway, I love this beefieee babieeee

SUFFERED SANITY
sam winchester x female!reader
WRITING WARNINGS: heartbreaking angst, pre-established relationship, the reader uhm is found dead due to their own doing, the reader loves princess and the frog and also stars kinda like a hyperfixation since they were young, one mention of having hallucinations, sam is in the mental hospital here!
XOXO, CHESHIRE — i kept listening to vincent by don mclean and i got this random inspiration for an angsty sam fic <3! also this is technically an au in a way because this takes place with sam and dean living in the bunker! p.s. i know this is small but bare with me, i got the idea and ran with for a short lil drabble tbh!
the six foot foot hunter sat upon the scruffy bedsheets staring at the wall in front of him envisioning the night that sent him into this room. the one that haunted him and will til his dying day, one that he wished would come sooner, especially since he had made that deal that once he died there would be no bringing him back at all — no matter how many deals dean would eventually end up making.
the way the night sky had been filled with so many stars and it had excited him to go find y/n as he was aware how much she had loved the stars. it was something that he adored whenever he got to see her excitedly point out the stars and explain each constellation to him and his older brother nearly every night. there was never a star that y/n could not name or tell the story behind.
sam had found his way to their shared bedroom inside of the bunker, y/n’s favorite portraits lining the walls that lead from their hallway to their bedroom. one of them being a painting of ray staring up at his evangeline which sat just to the right of their bedroom door that he had gently smiled at as he put his hand upon the doorknob and twisted to open the door.
the sight before him had sent him to his knees just in the doorway. his hazel eyes staring at the love of his life, the one person who he had truly opened his heart up to after what occurred with jess, laid with her body dangling halfway off the bed with her head upon the floor and her feet upon the middle of the bed. her beloved (e/c) eyes wide open with a sort of sadness that made the youngest winchester’s heart hollow as he felt his heart practically being ripped from his chest before he let out the loudest harrowing scream that sent dean rushing towards his brother.
as soon as dean came to a pause at the doorway and noticed what his little brother was staring at, he had let out a loud gasp upon the sight. the pair of brothers had once agreed that this world did not deserve someone as beautiful as y/n to exist in it — beautiful as in her energetic soul as well as looks. now it appeared that the universe had decided to listen to them for once in their lives, tearing her away from them.
it truly was unfair how beautiful she looked in this state. she loved absolutely like pure starlight yet that starlight was only tampered with unadulterated sadness which sent the pair of brothers mentally spiraling as their tears fell down their faces in the haunting silence that filled the doorway of the bedroom.
that same haunting silence continued to surround sam as he sat upon his bed in the asylum where dean had sent him, knowing how terribly his youngest brother had taken losing the second love of his life with those hallucinations that would come and go daily. his bleary hazel eyes staring at the wall before something bright drew his vision to the small window in his room. the night sky was once again filled with so many beautiful stars just like that very night, except what was that something bright that drew his attention had been a star just to the right of his window, and sam knew in that instance that was his evangeline.

Tlok Lord of the rings au because i'm squishing my hyperfixations together like a crazy lil 5 year old.
Korra- I'd say dwarf... she matches the stereotypical dwarf personality to a T. Notoriously stubborn, loyal and hardy. The most resistant to the corruption of evil as well. Also, controversial opinion... out of the Krew, Korra deserves a beard most. Also. Give her an axe. Or a sledgehammer. Let her wreak havoc. I think her family would come from Khazad-dûm and be directly related to the line of Durin. Though I feel like she'd reside in the Blue Mountains and unlike most of her kin, she'd have an appreciation for water and the sea.
Asami- Elf. Elf. With her glorious hair and agility??? Hell yeah. She'd be descended from the Avari and live in Mirkwood. I think the moral ambiguity and hostility of the Mirkwood elves touches nicely on Asami's original role as a villain. Also coming from such a combative area would have her learning combat as well, if even better, than her canon counterpart.
Also korrasami would be super cute as a dwarf/elf relationship lol. Korra's already canon shortie. And it would replicate their little rivalry in season 1. Just instead of fighting over Mako, they're fighting over centuries of mutual racial animosity.
Bolin and Mako - ok. Im getting real controversial here. Hobbits. Fucking hobbits. Now. Hear me out. More Brandybuck/Took coded hobbits I'd say. Probably grown up in Bree... tiny orphans in a big world. So sad.
Bolin is an easy pick. Although he's pretty big and bulky, his character has a lot in common with typical hobbits. Not a coincidence that my two fave characters are him and Samwise Gamgee... I love my dirt himbos. Bolin has that gentle, cheerful hobbit vibes. And he likes food too lol.
Mako also has hobbit vibes, I'd argue. However he has a lot of that hobbit typical caution ans suspicion towards the outside world. I could see him valuing a home and prosperity...give this man a hobbit hole He's so stressed he deserves it.
Tenzin, Kya and Bumi. - half elves, Rivendel. Tenzin is basically Elrond, ok? Bumi chose humanity good for him. Kai is the scruffy human they adopted à la Aragorn.
Lin and the Beifongs- honestly was stumped at this one... but I kinda think humans, particularly Dúnedain of Arnor. A noble people, now acting as Rangers, protectors of the land... matches Lin, our favourite chief of police, huh?

i think u should post more design hcs... if i may suggest the big three in the bitch brigade :3
IM SO ON IT! just like the last design hc post, i’ll add little rundowns of some of the design traits!
DAZAI
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
my dazai design has gone thru a LOT of phases, as well as just a bit of exploration… a few common and solidified traits about him however:
- dazai’s very tan, and his hair is VERY curly, bordering coily. in my hc he’s ethnically mixed :3 (japanese and bangladeshi!)
- soft but sharp face, big nose, and soft big eyes. thick eyebrows too! i based his colour scheme off the manga one, so, dark brown almost black hair instead of a lighter brown, and dark brown eyes instead of a chestnut brown.
- SNAKEBITE PIERCINGS! in me nd the lovely @fiftyofhearts ‘ hcs (hes the asker here hai ethan :3), he got them done w ranpo and yosano.
- he’s fat. okay. i said so. the silhouette of his big ass clothes (the trenchcoat specifically) makes him look a little smaller, but thats still very much true.
- he’s scruffy. goes through periods of shaving vs not shaving but generally has a little bit of wispy facial hair more often than not. also, he’s transmasc!!! he binds w bandages also its not good. don’t do what he does. i don’t encourage unsafe binding
- 14 to 16-zai was very hyperfem. i don’t think he had that realization that he was trans until a liiiil bit later. maybe around 17? very subtly transitioned. i dont think he outwardly came out to many people other than probably chuuya, oda, and ango. everyone else just caught on eventually. he definitely went solely by his last name to disassociate from his deadname and eventually chose the name “osamu” as his first later on
- prisonzai is FULL of facial hair! his hair has gotten a lil longer too. that’s due to the fact that i’d imagine honestly his hair grows Very fast. and they’re not gonna give him a razor to shave this is literally prison
- he’s a lesbian btw
SIGMA
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
somehow, the sigma design has stayed relatively linear.
- LATINA SIGMA REALNESS!!!!!!!!!! a little ethnically ambiguous canonically because she was made from a book. duh. but tbh i think shes argentinian
- tan skin, very cool undertone. soft and droopy eyes, SUPER thick eyebrows, and white eyelashes. very round face and big and wide arched nose. she has a bit of a pathetic and sopping wet look to her, but she still looks very kind and gentle. most of the time while she’s masking (usually while working), that kinda works in her favour. adds to the warm and inviting feeling she’s got goin on. however, her resting face is very sad and miserable.
- she’s tall and lanky, kinda skinny. very lean and relatively average build. her colour scheme and outfit design is adjacent to the way she’s drawn in the manga. i love her so much but i dont like the anime depiction of her outfit… sorry bbg. she’s perfect in every way however
- i think generally, she’s very androgynous. enjoys dressing very androgynously too. you know how in stormbringer lippmann is described as like, so androgynous to the point where if he dressed femininely men would go crazy ‘nd if he dressed masculinely women would go crazy?? yeah. she’s got something similar goin on. switches between dressing femininely and masculinely and very in-between often. always doing something cute.
- in my eyes she is so transfem. no sort of medical transition, tho… just socially. came out that page serving cunt and she’ll continue to the day she dies
- she wears press on nails me-thinks. usually black almonds or stilettos, sometimes she switches it up to purple however.
- hair cut is kinda weird but like ???? its like if u mixed a hime cut w a wolf cut basically. or smthn like that. lots of layers. yes that’s her natural hair colour btw, she’s just cute like that.
- she’s also a lesbian btw
JŌNO
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i’m only rlly getting into drawing jōno recently.. so lots of things keep changing. however, i HAVE decided on something.
- jōno is very much so blasian. lightskinted…. hair is pretty wavy but rests pretty straight just cuz of the haircut. the red is dyed btw. she didn’t care much abt the colour, someone asked to fuck w her hair, and she begrudgingly told them to go crazy. everyone seems to like it however, so she’s down w it.
- SMILE LINES. SMILE LINES AND EYE WRINKLES. product of keeping her eyes closed literally all the time. and her stupid smug resting face. she’s also filled with freckles and beauty marks. majority of them are on her face, but she’s definitely got some around her body as well.
- jōno is Tall. around 5’11” ethan has decided. she’s got a very graceful build but she’s NOT small, nor thin. lots of muscle and fat collecting around her thighs and legs, her strongest asset when it comes to physical strength methinks. have you SEEN how violently she’s able to kick people??? cmon now.
- very elegant woman in every aspect Except personality. i love her she’s actually SUCH a bitch
- again. TRANSFEM! if i like a male character.. heh… well… let’s just say they’re no longer male. (unless you’re dazai. he’s boybossing it up every day)
- she’s ALSO a lesbian btw
- i don’t have a lot to say for her i just love her so much omg

➭ he’s really angsty about it

yancy
➭ big puppyyyy

- wants pets all the time too but doesn’t want to bother you
➭ constant tail wagging whenever you’re around
➭ likes it when you pet his ears
- it calms him down

➭ constant heart eyes
- he is so happy and grateful that you could love someone like him
- yknow, a werewolf (ex-)criminal

ateez if a curvier girl liked them
disclaimer!! i am 100% sure these boys would like you for you and not for how many curves you have. you are beautiful no matter what !!! as a curvier girl myself, writing this made me happy hehe
seonghwa
Tumblr media
let’s be honest. seonghwa loves curvy girls
i mean he loves all girls, but smth abt a curvy lady gets him going
so imagine his face when a curvy girl likes him !!!!!
you’d tell him “seonghwa... u kinda cute doe” and he’d be like😳😃
he’s had his eye on you for a while
he jus luvs your personality and your humour
and your curves
tbh he’s snuck a glance every now and then
you’d bend down to grab the tv remote and suddenly he’s blushing and thinking of everything he’d do to u omg
or you’d wear a crop top and sit down and your belly might show a lil bit and he melts in his seat
all he wants is to feel ur pretty body
but .. unfortunately u didn’t think that he would like you
you thought that he only had his eye out for the slimmer girls, but that was simply not true queen
so it took u a sec to confess your feelings for him
but once you did you were so surprised at his response
“hey seonghwa, i know that you probably don’t think the same but like i rlly think ur cute and funny and pretty and i rlly like u but i know i’m not rlly ur type and like that’s fine-“
“wait!!! u like me”
“i like u too !!!!!!! who tf told u that ur not my type bc i will beat them up ur gorgeous who told u that >:((((“
and u explain to him that it was just ur brain and he says Never to think that about yourself !!!! bc you are beautiful !!!!
and then ur both just uwu in love with each other and he’s in love w ur curves and ur in love with his chicken legs and it’s amazing and wonderful and you’re so happy you said something bc otherwise you wouldn’t have found the love of ur life :’)
hongjoong
Tumblr media
hongjoong is Obsessed
obsessed w your thighs and your tummy and your booty
when u tell him u like him he’s not only like “holy shit i like you too” he’s imagining alllllll the things he can do w u and ur curves
when u first start going out and dating and such it’s great it’s amazing he makes you laugh and you feel beautiful bc he makes you feel beautiful
but when you start opening up to him about your insecurities you thought things would change
but they didn’t !!!!!!!! he started loving u harder
and every day since that first time you cried in his arms he tells you you’re beautiful
“hi honey u look gorgeous”
“baby !!!!! i love that dress on you”
“hey bb, since i can’t see you today i’m just letting u know that you’re beautiful !! and i love and miss you !!!!”
“there’s my fav tummy!!”
he will not Stop telling you how beautiful u are you’re not complaining

and he’s not shy abt it either ;)
yunho
Tumblr media
ok listen up sweeties
yunho doesn’t rlly pay attention to figure
i mean ofc he LOves your body and he thinks you’re beautiful
but he would not like you if not for your personality
which is absolutely amazing
and so he doesn’t rlly understand when you tell him that you don’t wanna eat that ice cream or the pizza
he thinks you’re beautiful (bc you are) so why don’t u think you’re beautiful too ??????
why won’t u eat w him ????
why wont you take ur shirt off in front of him ???
so one day he brings u mcdonald’s and a shamrock milkshake yummy!!!!
and he sits down w u and watches you try and do everything but eat
so he stops u and looks at u and tells u everything you’ve ever wanted to hear
“babe plz eat in front of me... i think your body is beautiful and i think you’re beautiful and i would not buy u food if i didn’t think so”
and u know this is true bc yunho loves his food and his own shamrock shakes
so u smile at him and lay in his arms and u eat that damn burger!!!!!!
he makes all your insecurities go away
he loves u so much u literally can’t breathe
he’s always hugging you and feeling you up and wrapping his huge arms around u
and he makes u so comfy with yourself
and you love him
and he loves u
yeosang
Tumblr media
ok yeosang loves u
and u know it he lowkey highkey makes it obvious
everytime you walk in he either 1) gets all blushy and stops talking mid sentence
“dude!!! stop destroying my fucking hous- uh uh h-hi y/ n”
i don’t actually know what they do in fortnite but if u do and this is wrong just imagine minecraft instead
or 2) he tries to be all tuff and show off

yeosang just stares at u for a moment before getting up and just staring at u some more
“uh yeosang?? u good”
“h a hah yeah .. i’m good”
“ok. did u hear the part where i said i think you’re cute”

“ok. get over here dummy”
“👁👄👁”
san
Tumblr media
ok we all know san
this weirdo
this secs ee mf that gives zero fucks
haha mmmm
^^^^ that’s what he’s like every time u walk by
idk it’s getting late i’m tired plz don’t judge
when he sees u he’s all like hehehbajsbs ajdosndbdniejn ùwú
but externally he’s like heh he h wassup
and he makes hand gestures at u like outlining ur curvy body
and winking at u
and let’s be honest he may or may not have slapped dat ass a few times
and even though it’s kinda nasty u kinda like it
u know he means well and it’s just one way he shows his love and appreciation for u
and he wouldn’t do it if you told him no !!! consent is key
and u consent bc u like the way he gets slightly flustered everytime he does it
eventually u have to give in one day bc he’s been teasing you long enough
so one day ur walking by him and he smacks ur dump truck and u spin around and grab his arm and pull him up to ur chest
and he’s like HUH
and ur like hi sannie
and he’s like “h-hi”
AND THEN U KISS HIM
AND HE LOVES IT
and he’s feeling u up and he sits you down and pulls him into his lap
and ur scared that ur too much for that
so when u start pulling away he’s like “NO I LIKE U HERE STAY U LOOK SO ORETTY SITTING ON ME”
and u giggle and stay
and then more kissing and cuddling and loving
and he makes u laugh and feel good
and u make him happy and so excited all the time
and it’s sooo good omg he luvs allllll of u so much
mingi
Tumblr media
i may have a soft spot for this man
he’s jus so weird and funky
but he’s so cute like idk
don’t tell seonghwa
ANYWAY
those are your exact thoughts abt him too
your relationship was always like....there was tension there
ofc u always thought abt him
and he always thought abt u
u lived in his head rent free
ur curves and dimples and amazing bodyodyody
accompanied w ur amazing personality!!! what could he not love
so when u became friends he was already obsessed w u
he’s always whiny and needy for ur attention
when the boys are there he’s like “😎😈💪🦵”
BUT WHEN YOURE THERE
he does a full 180
his voice goes from deep and scruffy to all soft
the boys clown him for it
but he doesn’t care
he sends u memes all the time
he texts you every day
at first it was an occasional hey wsp and now it’s like “good morning!! how’d u sleep” “hey bb girl wanna go get boba” “u looked rlly good today”
it makes ur heart flutter
and when he started calling u baby girl in PERSON
U DIED
and tbh he didn’t mean to say it the first time it just slipped out BUT he loved the way it made u blush and look down and cross your legs a lil
so he just couldn’t stop saying it
eventually the reaction u had went down a lil bc u got used to it
and that was when he decided he needed to do more
so eventually he got up the courage on a boba date to stop u and sit u down on a bench
and when u were like yes what is it mango
it took him a sec bc u looked so PRETTY in your dress
your thighs crossed and the way your boobies sat in it
he couldn’t help but stare (respectfully)
and u were like HELLo
and he cleared his throat and was like “ur really pretty”
and u blushed and covered yourself w ur arms
and he was like No >:( ur gorgeous and took your hands in his
and kissed them and kissed your arm all the way up to ur face
and he kissed your cheeks and was like these cheeks are so cute
and kissed ur nose and was like i love your nose
and then ur lips
and he didn’t have to say anything for you to know he loved your lips just as much as he loved your everything else
wooyoung
Tumblr media
okay if i thought hongjoong was obsessed .
wooyoung is a whole other story
as soon as u step into the room ur the only one that matters
he would stop answering the boys
he would only be looking at you
trying his best to make u laugh it works
bc he loves the way your face lights up when u smile
and how your body shakes when u laugh
and he loves talking to u
abt anything and everything
so he becomes your very best friend
and when u get comfortable to share your insecurities with him he gets so sad and mad
he gets so ANGERY
he’s like WHO SAID THAT WHY WOULD U THINK THAT U ARE AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL AND AKSJDJAJFJAKL
and one day ur ranting to him about something SOME DUMB ASS BOY said to u in class
AND HES LIKE I WILL BEAT HIM UP NO ONE TALKS TO MY BABY LIKE THAT
and ur like 😳 “y-your baby?”
and he’s like oh fuck fuck fuck fuck
he starts to apologize and ramble

One of the most ridiculous things on TBL are the sudden appearances and disappearances of Hudson, Liz's dog (and don't even get me started on the fact that they took an entirely different breed in the second season).
Like, I get it that he's just a plot device... but him appearing only when he's needed? Like when he wakes the Keens up in the pilot? Or when Tom says he's going to take him out on a walk? And seemingly not existing other times, like when Liz comes to Ressler (without a dog!) at the end of the 1x20? Now, that's inconsistent!
But, since I love dogs and don't like such inconsistencies, in the (Lizzington, of course) au most of my fantasies are set in Hudson exists all the time.
And let me tell you something – he totally adores Red (maybe, even more than he loves Liz). When Red's upset? Instead of letting him drink copious amounts of whiskey, Hudson puts his head in his lap (or fully climbs into his lap) and nuzzles his hands with his head and nose and licks his hands and face until he's laughing. And when Red's injured/sick? Hudson is extremely protective of him. He doesn't leave his side, follows him around the house everywhere he goes and even sleeps by his side, ready to protect him from any further harm.
Omg 👏 preach 👏 anon!! Honestly, I think - of all the numerous inconsistencies & plotholes in TBL - the most unforgivable one to us die-hard fans will ALWAYS be The Sad Tail (lolz) of Hudson the Shape-Shifting Dog 😂😂😂 It's such a shame they didn't utilize him as the proper character he deserved to be recognized as LOL 😂 But omg??? Thanks to TPTB (and given that we're somehow in season 8, so many seasons after his last appearance) I'm def guilty of forgetting about him (😭) so the fact that he's a major player in your Lizzington AU fantasy??? Iconic 👌And, bc Red is so obviously a dog/pet/animal person, the mental image of him & Hudson being BFFs??? Perfection 😭 Like Liz would be a little salty about Hudson loving Red more than her (she always was bitter whenever he favored T*m's attention over her's) but IT'S RED & he so clearly deserves some puppy love so - as much as she might playfully give him grief for it - she's really cool with it 😏 And when Red's sad or injured, puppy kisses are the perfect remedy, omg, and you bet your ass Liz gets immeasurable joy out of watching Red laugh & pet Hudson & half-heartedly fend off his wet kisses when he's feeling less than 100%!! And lastly, Hudson the scruffy lil pupper acting like a Rottweiler 3x his size when it comes to protecting Red?? Adorable, fantastic, 10/10. What a fabulous message, anon, thank you for brightening my day 🥰 Much love to you, my Hudson-loving friend!! ❤️

Soldier on
Syverson x reader
I received a request and made an attempt at writing a Syverson x reader one-shot for you all to enjoy. It’s sad, angsty, includes violence, smut, the whole lot. Ye be warned. 
Thank you @scorpionchild81, I hope you enjoy it! 
Warnings: smut, angst, attempted rape, all the massive feels
--
Tumblr media
From your perspective:
You fumbled with the keys in your hand as your heels tapped on the hot concrete. Even now, at this late hour, the Texan air was smouldering, bright stars gleaming like small freckles on the skin of the pitch black heavens above. 
Should you just..go back? It wasn’t that bad right? If he could hook up with someone..then so could you. You halted and looked back at the neon lit bar you just left, the sound of a jukebox playing and people talking top-lung.
You could visualise it. The way he now looked hungrily into the eyes of that girl, his full lips turning into a wolfish grin as he towered over her with that big, bulky physique. The promise of a good night to follow, gleaming in his eyes.. No. Don’t think about it.
Taking a shivery breath you grasped the keys in your palm tighter. You were glad you had stayed sober that night so you could at least leave at any moment you pleased. It’s not like he would be going with you anyways. ‘STOP IT!’ You scolded yourself, muttering under your breath as your legs automatically strode to the parking lot around the corner.
There were but a few cars parked on the lot, their dusty hoods mere shadows in the poor light of the solitary streetlight. Your eye peered at some men leaning into what happens to be your car, their cigarettes burning up bright yellow in the darkness. Great, you thought, quickly looking over your shoulder to see if anyone else was around. Under the bright lights of the bar you could spot a couple that were practically eating each other on the sidewalk, their arms entangled and their clothes barely covering their private parts. Immediately you felt your heart flip with jealousy again, your fingers becoming even more sweaty around your car keys.
‘Fine.’ You growled, definitely not opting for going back inside the bar, but instead taking large, purposeful strides towards the car. You could hear the hood of your car let out a sigh as one of the men got up, his face barely visible in the low light. ‘Evenin’ gents.’ You tried, casually moving past their large bodies to reach for the car door. ‘Hello sugar.’ One of them purred in a husky voice. You didn’t twitch as you continued to reach the keys towards the car door. ‘Gotta ask you to find another place to hang out I’m afraid.’ You said, eyeing one of the gents who was still leaning into your car, his face menacing and his breath spiked with heavy liquor. ‘Oh don’t go.’ He playfully begged, his hand grasping your wrist, stalling further efforts to open the car door.
The man was leaning into the backseat door, his face mostly hidden behind a scruffy beard - nothing like Sy’s handsome full beard -, his figure a bit on the obese size, but making him still obviously much stronger than you. Around you his accomplices now closed in. Three men, all smelling of heavy liquor. Moonshine? Who knows. But it sure wasn’t good.
‘Maybe some other night. This sugar has to go now.’ You tried to keep your voice level as you wriggled to free your wrist. The man wouldn’t budge. ‘Hear that Lacy? She doesn’t want to play with us!’ He quickly snagged the keys from your hand before squaring up his shoulders, ready to stop you as you flailed at him. ‘HEY, those are mine! Give them back at once!’ You tried to shove him, reaching for your keys, but he had already thrown them to one of the others, your hands making no impression on him as you couldn’t even push him back a centimetre. ‘Now now. How about you be nice lil’ slut.’ He barked, pushing you with ease into the car door.
Fuck. Fucking shit. Fuck.
Your already sweaty hands immediately reached for your phone in your jeans’ back pocket, your pulse quickening to a gallop as you tried to keep an eye on all the men whom were now looming in closer and closer. As soon as you managed to squeeze your hand into the tight pocket you could feel a hand on your own. ‘Uh uh love. Not gonn’ happen.’ He all but whispered in your ear. Gosh he stank so bad. You felt bile come up, lungs heavy from both the humid Texan air and this whole situation. ‘Stop.’ You whimpered, losing your internal battle and giving in to fear. ‘Or what..hmm..lil’ skank?’ One of the others spoke, his voice much more boyish.
The man forcing you against the car door had now also taken the phone, letting it light up to its lock screen, holding it over their faces, his face turned into a sick grin. The pale green light of your screensaver offered some insight in the looks of the assailants. Two younger men, no older then 20 in worn t-shirts, and then there was the big burly men who was pinning you down and a man with a buzz cut in the far back, his eyes glistening dark in the low light. Buzz cut…army? Maybe..maybe he would help..? If you said the right…
Before you could finish your thought your pants were pulled down, eager hands cupping your buttocks, the calloused digits digging painfully through the cotton of your undies. ‘NO! FUCK OFF! GET OFF ME!’ A sudden burst of opposition coursed through you as you started to flail your nails into his face, making the man bounce back for a moment. Your legs tried to make a run for it, your hands trying to tug up your pants, but another pair of hands stopped you, digging evil nails into your soft skin. ‘Listen up bitch. You gonn’ be nice and quiet, ya?’ He slurred. It was one of the younger men, some of his teeth missing from the looks of it. Drug users. Oh man. This couldn’t get worse.
Panic filled your heavy lungs as you felt more hands traveling down your body, one pair squeezing your neck tight, whilst others tore at your t-shirt. You clenched your jaw, breaths coming in short and hard, tears burning up in the back of your eyes. ’NO!’ You roared, making another feverish attempt to be released, arms and legs kicking wildly around you. ‘You fuckin’ dogs.’ You bit as you managed to get out of the grasp of the pair of hands on your neck. A small victorious moment, that was, before you felt your legs being swiped away, your body quickly coursing to the gritty hard parking lot.
You smacked down hard, your head painfully landing on the black tar as feet started to kick you. You saw them dropping your phone, but you couldn’t move to get it. Low wails escaped your throat as you balled up your body in a futile attempt to protect yourself. ‘St..op..’ You breathed shakily, the punishing kicks removing all air from your lungs, your body searing with both adrenaline and fear. Folding your arms over your neck and face, you noted they did stop. Why?
‘HEY,’ A loud, rough voice barked from further up in the parking lot. You quivered, the pain crashing in hard as watery eyes peered at the figure in the distance, his form creating a strong silhouette against the single light source straight behind him. Oh please let it be him. Sy..sy..
From his perspective:
She had left. Again. It was becoming a strange habit of her to leave in the middle of a fun night out. At least. It sure had been fun up to that point, he thought, his eyes tracing her brown mane all the way out the door. Darkness had nearly swallowed her when he saw her turn around. Was she coming back?
‘Hey sexy. Whatcha thinkin’?’ The kitten in his arms purred. Sure she was a fine thing. A true southern belle, with pretty blond locks and a heartshaped face, her dainty fingers making enticing circles over his red t-shirt. ‘Nothin’.’ He said, forcing his lips to turn into a smile as he looked down at her. He pulled the little vixen closer to his chest, his eyes immediately peering back at the door. She was gone.
Well, might as well make the most of the night.
His hands travelled languidly over the blondes back, before settling on her curvy behind. Her small arms had now also wrapped around him, leaving him alone with his thoughts for a moment. The bar was busy this night, almost crowded. Which wasn’t all that surprising. He and his brothers-and-sisters-in-arms had just gotten back from a round trip, and that was always worth a celebration.
Although it’s not the same without her.
Some racket sounded from outside, a few people hastily walking out the door to see what was going on. Sy’s curiosity peaked, his arms unwrapping from the dainty thing in his arms.
‘No..stay. There’s enough people to sort out whatever’s happenin’ there big bear.’ The woman purred, pulling him back towards her. He groaned, giving in to her request, his eyes keeping a close watch on the people who were standing outside. Something had happened. ’Come..let’s have some..real fun.’ Her sultry voice breathed against his bearded chin. He looked down, seeing her tug at his belt and eyeing at the toilets in the back.
His hazy mind couldn’t think straight as his eyes gave a quick check on the people around them. Everyone else was too preoccupied with the situation outside or continuing their drunk chatter. He couldn’t help but give her offer a think-over. It had been months after all. His hand cupped the back of her head as he leaned in for a kiss. A kiss she eagerly accepted, her teeth biting into his bottom lip playfully.
Before long he found himself in one of the toilets, his head slightly dazed as the pretty blond was pulling at his shirt, kissing his naked flesh beneath it. He let out a pent up breath. Fuck. What was he even doing. His mind was saying no..but his body was definitely saying “yes”. He felt himself harden, his erection straining against his jeans, his head falling back as he felt her lips blazing over his hot skin.
His phone buzzed.
Immediately he reached for his back pocket to answer, his hand stopped by the blond vixen. ‘I’m sure THAT can wait.’ She breathed, daintily pushing the phone back in its pocket. He let out a quivery breath as she pulled up his shirt further, her nose now moving through his curly chest hair. ‘Ooh you’re such a bear…rawr!’ She squealed, eagerly grabbing at his toned chest. He couldn’t think straight, a slight worry creeping over his back as he mulled it over.
She had left the bar mere minutes before that racket outside. Had something happened?
He felt his breath quicken, become more harsh, his curiosity burning as he felt his phone sitting silent in his back pocket.
No. She always managed on her own. She’s fine. It probably was just a drunk idiot who had passed out. Or a bar fight. And she was now driving home. Alone.
Alone.
‘Fuck.’ He groaned, feeling the eager blond tugging at his belt as she lowered herself on her knees. ‘No. Stop darlin’. It’s….argh..Fuck.’ His words evaporated in the humid air as she released his cock from its restrains. ‘Doesn’t look like you want to stop.’ She purred, wrapping her hand around his erection. He let out an involuntary moan. It had been so long since he was last touched like that. Four whole fucking months. He let his head fall back, his breath hitching as she worked her magic hands in slow strokes. ‘Mmm.’ She hummed, her wet lips starting a new trail over his abs. This time going south.
His phone buzzed again.
Before the woman could stop him mid-track, he stepped back, pushing his back against the tiled wall and holding a steady hand on her shoulder to keep her in place. She halted her administrations as she looked up in confusion, seeing Sy’s eyes flicker nervously over the phone in his hand, his other hand reaching for the stall door. Before turning the lock, he quickly pushed his erection in his pants, single handedly zipping it back up, leaving his belt unbuckled.
‘I’m so sorry doll. Looks like an emergency.’ He wrought his eyebrows together, giving her an apologetic look. She looked at him with confusion, still squatted down on the dirty floor, barely registering as he strode back to the bar with great haste.
Sy swung open the door, his thumb sliding over the screen to answer the call. His heart was beating wildly. She was calling him. Maybe..To speak? Invite him over? Was she near? He looked over his shoulder as the line crunched through it’s bad connection. All he saw was a bunch of people sitting on the sidewalk, their cigarettes burning in the thick night air.
‘Good evening. You are speaking with the North Texas State Hospital. Am I speaking with ..uh..Syverson?’ A female voice that was not hers. Suddenly the world fell away from him, his veins growing cold as the sweat on his hot back made him shiver. His jaw clenched as he took a strained breath. ‘Yes. Speaking.’ ‘I’m sorry to inform you…’
His heart thundered as his legs carried him through the long grey hallway, his boots still sticking from the alcohol glazed floor in the bar…or was it just his heavy legs that felt like pure lead right now? He had balled up his fists so tightly the skin had turned white, his eyes nervously scanning over the signages. Room 201.4, room 201.5…room 201.6. He halted, his boots squeaking.
Breath Sy. Breath man.
He opened his hand, reaching for the door to push it open. Room 201.6. He had repeated it in his head a hundred times over as he had made his way here. But now he was standing here he was hesitant. He peered at his fingers on the pale green door. 201.6. This is it. Taking one more deep, forceful breath he pushed open the door, immediately seeing what he came for.
You.
Or whatever they had left of you. He quickly made way to your bed, feeling another shiver run over his back as his breath choked. It really was you. Half your face bandaged up, your skin bruised and scratched, tubes running from your arms. But also that deep auburn hair, those sweet apple shaped cheeks.
‘No..’ He breathed, forgoing all protocol as he leaned into you and pressed his lips against your forehead. ‘No..’ He cried, hot tears burning in his eyes. ‘Fuck.’ 
He pushed himself up ever so slightly to take another look at you. You were still every bit as pretty. Just like in his dreams. But unlike in his dreams he hadn’t protected you. Hadn’t been there for you. Hadn’t confessed what he had felt for so long.
‘Bug…’ He breathed, a sole tear running down his cheek before disappearing in his thick beard. ‘Oh god. I am so sorry. I’m so sorry. If only I had…’
Your hand wrapped around his neck.
He looked up, being greeted by your half opened eyes. ‘Sy..’ You croaked, your voice laced with sleep, your eyes already falling shut again.
‘Oh sweetness. Rest. It’s okay. I’ll be here. I’ll wait. I’ll always wait…’ He breathed, a soft relief coming over him as he noticed the slightest smile on your lips.
‘I …love you.’ He croaked, carefully looking at you as your face relaxed again in deep sleep. Yes. This time he wouldn’t leave your side.

my hand slipped for about 10 days straight or so! have some hollow knight gijinkas! (and there are at least 3 more i want to do, too! i just didnt want to run out of photoset space lol)
UPDATE: i drew a lot more than just 3 lol. gijinkas part 2 (hollow, grimm, the white lady, radi, lace, seer, marmu, unn, bretta, cloth, & myla) can be found here.
i’ll put notes about these under a readmore for curious parties.
please read my faq page! (tl;dr version: dont use my art for icons/graphics/whatever without getting my permission beforehand, please use they/them pronouns for ghost and the other vessels in any tags/commentary, dont tag as kin/me/whatever pls)
GHOST - all vessels are albino and have glossy black pools of void for eyes. i think proximity to the void/the pale beings influences how much the vessels grow so ghost, who ollied out early and never came back to hallownest, has been 4′7″ forever even into adulthood (theyre supposed to be in their early 20s here). yes they are Incredibly salty about this. all vessels probably started out with similar Undertale-Brand Androgynous Chin Length Haircuts(tm) with small differences; ghost's identifiers are no bangs (with that hair tucked behind their ears) & big chunky eyebrows.
HORNET - is where i started making gijinkas because i wanted to see more brown hornet lol. i see a lot of parallels between hollow knight lore & australian history in general, and the deepling-weaver lore reminded me of the makassan muslim traders who were on friendly terms with many indigenous australian groups pre-colonization. so... i got really excited about hijabi hornet and decided to Make My Own Content lol
MONOMON - i love valdotpng’s locs monomon So Much i decided to make my monomon gijinka a different ethnicity just to make sure i wouldnt copy that design lmfao. i went with korean monomon because women’s hanbok have such big poofy skirts and lots of dangly stuff (goreum etc) that could echo her jellyfish features. shes trans by the way
HERRAH - incorporated a bunch of den sculpture motifs in her crown and cloak with spiderweb patterns on the cloak hem and the front of her tunic. her and hornet’s 6-braid hairstyles when veiled are the same because i like to make myself sad, which is why baby hornet is also there on her ref
LURIEN - the four-leaf-clover-shaped bun in his put-together pics is courtesy of monomon & herrah who decided to do something with his hair since he wouldn’t. scruffy lurien on his solo ref has been writing reports for 3 days straight w/o painting breaks, has been sleeping in his binder the whole time, & is about to get screamed at for it by monomon lol. he doesn’t wear gold jewelry as a show of loyalty to tpk
QUIRREL - everyone does little samurai quirrel but he talks like one in the jpn localization so everyone is valid actually. he’s very baby-faced for his age (27~30?) but still a whole foot taller than ghost. obv his trans tape is from monomon as u can tell from the notes but she gave him his earrings, netsuke, and inrou too. the ahoge in his ponytail are supposed to be like lil antennae

A Tribute
Tumblr media
A/N: Sarah here, hello. Ky is in love with Finneas so she mostly wrote this, I just did a lil bit. Based on Finneas’s Bill Withers cover for the April 20, 2020 tribute. Link here ;)
Word count: 1.3k
Warnings: grief, fluff, sadness
Finneas x fem!reader
~~~~
He sat at the piano, unmoving, for what seemed like hours. His hands ghosting over the keys, back straight, staring into the abyss. She stood on the final stair that led to the basement of the house, watching him, wishing so badly to take away his pain. Finneas always took everything to heart, especially when it came to music. When they got the news that Bill Withers passed away, she knew immediately that he would take it to heart. That had been a few days ago, when Finneas insisted that he film a cover to honor the man’s life. He had just found the courage to sit down at the piano bench an hour ago, yet not a single key resinated off of the basement walls.
Y/N walked behind the pale boy, trying to make her footsteps as loud as possible to snap him out of his trance without scaring him. Once she was in arms length, she tried calling out to him.
“Finn,'' she tried, her voice coming out hoarse and hesitant. She reached her hand out, placing it on his shoulder, he had no reaction, just kept his head straight. She took that as her que to move closer. Wrapping her arms around his back, Y/N moved so her lips were right next to his ear. The collar of his denim jacket scratched against her cheek.
“Finneas,” she tried again with his name, hoping to draw him out of his head, he turned his head just enough for her to see him. Tears sat at the edge of his eyes, killing her heart. She backed her face away looking at him fully.
“I can’t do it.” A single tear glided down his face, catching at the end of his nose, a weak smile formed on the edges of the mouth. She untangled herself from his back, moving to sit next to him on the small bench. Her body facing his side, slowly bringing a hand up to cup his face, thumb catching the fallen tears.
“It’s okay, you don’t have to do it today.” She said with a smile, thumb still lazily swiping against his tear stained face.
“It’s okay to take some time to finish mourning, no one would be mad.” He nodded his head against her palm. They sat like that for a while, slience filling the room as Y/N wiped away the sea of tears that fell out of Finneas’s blue dull eyes. She moved to cup his cheek and rested her forehead against his. His eyes were always so bright, electric even. She had never seen them so close to grey before.
He pulled away gently and brought his hand up to cover hers, his hand colder than expected. He removed their hands from his face and brought it to his lips kissing the center of her palm, she felt the scruffy beard against the bottom of her palm, it ticked and contrasted against the softness of his lips. He moved their hands away, finally linking them together.
“I love you.” He whispered, moving his face forward until their foreheads rested against each other again. His face hot against hers, the tears leaving a sticky feeling against her skin. He moved to rest his lips against hers. They shared a short kiss, before disconnecting.
“Will you stay here while I play?” He asked, voice still not going above a whisper.
“Of course Finn.” She moved off the bench, placing a kiss to the top of his head before going upstairs.
Finneas stared at the keys, inhaling a huge breath and holding it until his lungs burned. Before slowly letting it escape his mouth. He suddenly heard the scrape of a chair against the stairs as Y/N's face appeared again. She was carting down one of the wooden chairs from the dining table, dragging it behind her like a rollie bag suitcase. A weak smile plastered on her face as she lugged the chair across the room. Finally placing it behind the camera. She walked back over to him.
“You don’t have to do this.” She said again, placing her head on top of his.
“I know, but I want to.” He kissed the back of her hand one more time. Y/N walked away with a gentle smile and moved to sit behind the camera.
He began to play then. Softly pressing into the keys, looking down in his hands. She knew that he didn’t need to watch them to play the right cords. He knew this song and he knew how to play it, but he just wanted something to ground him and his music. The music that his idol made was the only way to connect them, even after his passing.
She be lying if she said that she wasn’t a little mesmerized watching him. Finneas looked so sad and his voice was so clear. To others it might seem that he was simply enjoying himself and his music. But she knew that he was losing the battle to not cry.
With every verse he hit the keys harder, his voice screaming out, the vibrato punching the air, and he kept hitting the keys harder still. He was suddenly small. He was a small boy hitting the keys with a grin on his face as his favorite singer played on the radio. Trying to learn the melodies his mother showed him. She pulled him onto her lap and covered his little hands with hers. He was a teenager turning up the stereo in his car that he finally got to drive. His new license sitting in his wallet. The feeling of freedom he never knew and as he shouted the words with a loud laugh. Whooping as he sped down that road. He was a young man humming to his lover the sweet music of his youth. She was wrapped in his arms as they laid on the couch in their new home. The housewarming gifts splayed all over. A gentle smile spread across his face as he pressed a kiss to her cheek. He was a sad man playing the piano to tribute to the legend that shaped him. Choking on the realization that the music that made him who he was, was fading out. Nothing more would be created from the soulful man he cherished. His heart ached in his chest painfully and he moved his head sharply as a tear won over his will and hit his hand that was slamming on the piano.
Finneas’s left hand pressed one final chord out from the instrument. Y/N didn’t realise she was crying until the song was finished, the last dark note ringing in the air. Finneas moved his hands off the piano quickly and just stared at the wood in front of him. She moved slowly, not wanting to disturb the quiet that settled. She sat next to him on the bench and rested her head to his shoulder.
“That was beautiful, Finn.” She whispered and he closed his eyes at her voice. Bill Withers was dead, this was something they both knew. But with his legacy and with his music, he wasn’t gone. Finneas sucked in a breath and nodded to her. The memories involving the blues and the passion seeped into his bones and he felt another tear fall down his face.
“My favorite.” He mumbled pressing the heels of his hand to his eyes. He smiled pitifully at her, his voice wavering.
“I bet he’s smiling down on all that he inspired.” Y/N looked up at him then and brushed the hair from his forehead.
Finneas looked up at the ceiling. He had never been a religious man, but the thought that Bill Withers was somewhere else in this life, looking down at the music he inspired and the people’s lives he touched granted Finneas some calm. Finneas smiled at Y/N and moved to press a gentle kiss to her mouth.
For the first time that evening, he felt happy.
Music has always been universal and he was glad he got to share in the experience of millions of others. Finneas was happy he got to love a legend and feel in his body and mind the soulful sounds that were created from a man born in another time. He looked up at the ceiling again and felt another tear fall from his face. It streaked down his cheek and was stopped by the fold of a grateful smile.

Suppose a Kid... 1 | Hortensia Saga 1 | Kumo Desu Ga 1 | 2.43 1 | Cells at Work!! 1 - 2 | Cells at Work: Code Black 1 | Back Arrow 1 - 2 | Praeter 1 | Horimiya 1 | Tomozaki 1 - 2 | Wonder Egg Priority 1 | IChu 1 | Kemono Jihen 1 | YuruCamp 2 1 | Dr Stone: Stone Wars 1 | Sk8 1 | Mushoku Tensei 1 | Design-bu 1 | Wave!! 1 | BSD Wan! 1 | Ex-Arm 1
After much watching...I cut it down to 5 anime and 1 short.
Suppose a Kid… 1
I am not writing out that full title every time! Anyways, here’s the first “real” debut of winter 2021.
For some reason…this series reminds me of Pokemon. Probably how at the start, Ash tries to get along with Pikachu by doing all sorts of things like what Lloyd is doing here. (<- learnt protag’s name through synopses)
The name “Shouma” rang a bell and I was right – Shouma is voiced by Souma…Saito.
The Japanese title has “monogatari” on the end there…so it probably doesn’t fully translate into the English title.
These orange flecks in Lloyd’s eyes are kinda distracting…
Isn’t Kunlun in China, though…?
If this is just going to be Marie yelling…I don’t see why I should stay. (<- turned volume on for everything so far)
*facepalms* Lloyd is so dense…
That fight scene’s not very good…
…oh great. Selen’s fallen in love with Lloyd already…*sigh*
The missing princess is certainly going to be a plot point later.
Wow, that tiger looks impressive! If only they could’ve done that for the fight scene…
…oh great, Selen is a low-key yandere…
Didn’t Lloyd say he sucked at combat…? Anyways, I’m not keeping this. The designs are colourful and the tiger was good, but it’s meant to be a comedy and it’s not funny.
Hortensia Saga 1
Here for Ume! He’s voicing a guy called Defloitte Danois.
I-Is that CGI? So early on into the anime???
*a dude gets bitten into by the werewolf*…welp, at least this series isn’t afraid of its own gore.
I had a sinking feeling our real protag was Alfred…and I was right, according to the OP.
Huh? The song goes silent for a second near the end…what the heck?
The book appears to use English, albeit English so faintly inked in you can’t quite tell what language it is.
Alfred, governing Albert…? Isn’t that a bit redundant?
I swear all the female voices in this anime are squeaky as all get out…
All these high fantasy anime – or heck, any high fantasy series full stop – ever justify why the country is worth fighting for. It’s why I find war stories pointless and senseless.
You can tell from the voice and short stature “Marius” is Mariel…but she uses boku, which is why Alfred can’t really tell the difference. (Also, he wasn’t privy to the fact Mariel cut her hair.)
This almost smacks of a game tutorial. The CGI is still there…it’s not as bad as other examples I’ve seen, but you can tell it’s CGI when you look at it.
Roy’s kind of pretty, in a generic way.
A close-range archer! Ho, you’re kinda impressive yourself, Roy. (The feeling of a game tutorial has disappeared by this point.)
Hortense…of Hortensia…how confusing.
The scruffy guy you keep seeing with the dark hair is Defloitte. Keep an eye out for him for me, would you?
The ED seems to consist mostly of…anguished pop screams. *cringes slightly*
Anyways, this anime isn’t bad. It’s quite average though and its CGI could easily get worse.
Kumo Desu ga 1
…you know I don’t like 1st person cam, yeah?
…this is just Kumoko (as I’ve heard her being called) yelling so far…plus there’s quite a bit of CGI.
I like how the ED has an English overlay and the style they’ve used for it. The music, though…? Nah.
Wait a second? Millepensee? Shin Itagaki? That would explain the CGI!
“…a spider that just happens to have my memories.” – A butterfly dream, huh?
…well, at least this anime is well aware of the genre space it inhabits. Maybe you could say…it’s an isekai light novel, so what? *groans from the audience*
…well, you didn’t really “bring” your “brother’s” (?) corpse in case of an emergency, now, did you?
…welp, to have guts, you must eat guts. I guess that’s how it goes.
What’s a “skanda”?
This anime’s quite monologue-y (as expected of an LN). I can live with it, but I don’t know if it can carry the entire thing through the season.
…humans? Haven’t seen them almost all episode. What are they up to?
These designs sort of look like SAO’s. They’re not a dealbreaker yet, but they could be down the line…
This ED seems to take cues from Cop Craft’s OP (same studio). It also has some…“Aggretsuko rage”, I guess you could call it.
2.43 1
…Another confusing title, I see. I normally don’t do sports anime, but I’m here for Ume.
*sees the colour of the volleyball* - Basically anything volleyball has to collaborate with volleyball maker Mikasa, doesn’t it?
This anime seems to like putting characters’ thoughts on the screen for dramatic impact. The CGI is sort of visible, but not a dealbreaker.
I’d thought I’d heard of this OP artist before, but it turns out I haven’t.
This series has a nice sense of force. You see those moments where the ball squishes, or when Yuni presses against the wall without thinking? Those.
LOL, way to burn Yuni, Chika…
These transitions are a bit hard to detect. I think I like Akudama’s more overt ones more.
LOL, Dr Popper (sic).
The serves are nothing special. Haikyuu does the same thing from the episode I saw of it. (You know I don’t like Haikyuu, yeah? Dropped it after 1 episode because everything I heard the fans talking about caused me to connect the dots.)
The way Yuni blushes…it’s more than someone usually would, even if it is out of embarrassment. It may just be the entertainment I consume, but I could swear that’s going somewhere in more of a BL manner.
I get the feeling Chika has a bit of Virgo or Taurus in him somewhere. The sort of guy who nags at everyone to do stuff his way is probably like that.
Pocari Sweat (unaltered).
I gave myself dimples by puffing up my cheeks and poking them until they became permanent. I guess you can do the same thing with ambidexterity…?
For some reason, I can detect Chika’s jealousy when he discusses blocks and natural talent.
…wow, this anime is pretty serious for a volleyball anime.
The ED scene where the face is replaced with flowers is pretty creepy. Like Jigokuraku or something.
Cells at Work!! 1
What are these blob creatures you see in the OP, anyway…?
I think I remember reading something that the numbers assigned to the cells aren’t arbitrary – they’re hexadecimal colors, e.g. RBCs get shades of red as their numbers.
D’aww, Platelets warm the heart. They really do.
Platelets have a master…? I thought they were all just lil’ kids.
“What the cell’s going on?!” – Oh, I remember seeing a tweet about this. I love that pun! Kudos to whoever was responsible for that.
LOL, no. 4989 dancing in the background.
Hmm…those nets look like CGI.
…uh, I did not need that shot of the Megakaryocyte’s camel toe…that’s distubring.
Wait, Backward Cap is a she?!
Aw, lookit WBC being a dad. That’s cute.
Backward Cap = Ushiromae-chan.
Is that…a construction worker holding a giant pudding?!
Cells at Work Code Black 1
This anime is called “black” due to black companies. It’s Code Black to avoid being racist, I guess. I’m looking forward to it because it’s undoubtedly going to show a dark side to the main series…
…and there it is, the RBC complaining.
I assume OJT = on the job training.
I knew “pespin” (sic) was a typo. It’s pepsin.
Now that I’ve been working at customer service for two years (give or take COVID), I can see where the senpai RBC is smoothing over the relations.
…that also means I know where to suppress my emotions. I’m not a person who opens up to people easily without getting used to them, so people never see me as suitable for customer service anyway, but it’s the only experience I have so *shrugs*.
…oh gosh. I haven’t seen these words since…the time I was still learning biology.
…*sigh* Rookie RBC is worried about boobs.
The fact Senpai lost his iconic hat…is kinda sad, actually.
“Don’t let his resolve be for nothing.”
Hmm…does the male WBC from the main series wear black fingerless gloves?
I thought I’d heard of this artist before…but turns out I just can’t distinguish really autotuned artists from each other…(lel)
…and stuff goes ka-blam. It’s the spiritual successor to HypMic, even if I wasn’t asking for it. (LOL)
Back Arrow 1
…I heard you said “hot guys”? (Yes, I am predictable as all get out.)
What’s with that episode title…?
Stereotypes, eh? I kind of expected as much from the promo, but where’s the title character…?
…was that yuri fanservice? I can’t quite tell because it was the aftermath of an action scene, but I can see the shippers gearing up in my head.
…after a bit of waiting, there he is. Back Arrow himself. He kind looks like Takuto (Star Driver).
“I’m not trying to hide anything!” – Well, that’s…true.
…*sigh* Why do girls always have more feminine-looking mechs? (Plus this one has boobs…*sighhhhhhhhhhhh*)
So it seems mechs in this anime are the form of one’s conviction and they have skills along those lines, eh? An interesting concept.
…you do realise I abandoned an entire anime based on a joke about lucky underwear? However, this anime is so absurd and just keeps running with the joke that I just can’t say no to it. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from volunteering at a charity store, it’s that when it comes to selling stuff, you can’t say no to a lot of stuff…including selling potentially used underwear, so long as it’s not dirty or stinky.
Whoa! Those things break?!
Why does the title card mention the wall...?
Anyways, I…like it, surprisingly enough. Let’s keep going.
Back Arrow 2
…eh? Didn’t expect inflatable clothing, LOL.
I suspect Shu Bi is scheming something.
What’s the long thing…?
“…tomorrow might not come.” – A good reminder to have in these times of COVID.
Peath = Peace. (Heh. What a stupid name…*thinks about the name “Quattro Bajeena” suddenly* Okay, “Peath” pales in comparison to that.)
What is that creature that circles in the sky…?
I know this is meant to be a serious fight, but…that attacking guy’s hat seriously looks like a bamboo stalk and so I keep seeing it and trying not to laugh.
I only just now realised there’s CGI. CGI these days is getting much better than it used to be.
Tomozaki 1
LOL, Yontendo. It’s clearly Smash Bros + Nintendo Switch and the character designer was also around for Iroduku, so that’s why this style looks familiar.
…lemme guess, since this is a romance, it’s likely NONAME is Aoi. Or some other girl.
I would pay for a romance where it’s the girl building the guy up to be presentable, instead of a girl building other girls up to be presentable a la Ageha 100%.
Didn’t the anime show us Tomozaki reflecting to himself, though…?
“…rules working in combination.” - Well, there’s social norms (e.g. knock before entering a room), laws, contracts, societal standards (e.g. in Japanese society, you bow to others as a greeting or apology)…(continues to blabber on for a bit)
I think Aoi said something like “onitadaku”, but I’m not sure what the joke is there. Oni is in there, sure, but what’s the original phrase she’s playing off?
…LOL, it’s a good time to remind people to wear a mask.
LOL, Krout.
Anyways, this seems decent. I like how it’s going the way I want it to.
Tomozaki 2
“…make sure I’m nearby…” – Okay, that’s just being pushy, Aoi.
Minami and Hinami…so confusing…
*Minami chomps on Natsubayashi’s ear* - …okay, that’s not a thing girls do in real life unless they’re lesbians. This is likely trying to take the fanservice route.
They didn’t even show why the “kiss” was broken up…meaning they were doing it to make potential girl-on-girl look hot. Just great.
*Aoi touches Tomozaki’s butt* - Dude, that’s groping…
I didn’t think we’d get the story on Aoi’s “hexactly” so soon.
…well, that episode just made me feel mildly bitter. I’m dropping it here.
Praeter 1
…aw s***. Only a few seconds in and this looks like a terrible game…
It’s like someone barfed paint across Durarara…
The only time the background buildings look any good are when there’s a fight scene…
These Seals (or whatever those designs are called) seem to act like mini shields. Update: They’re called tattoos.
That transition was a bit fast for my liking…
Seems like the series is mildly peppered with Greek terms.
“To Infinity and Beyond” by…some author I can’t really read the name of.
Suddenly, they throw in more characters…?
Where does Eiji keep those bullet cases of his…? In his jacket?
Having a guy die in the 1st episode is cheap. I mean, we don’t quite care for him yet – it’s too early in the anime for that.
Now there’s Norse terms on top of the Greek ones…
Even more characters? You kidding me?
Lemme guess, Eiji gave up his tattoo because Yamato inspired him and now he’s a goner.
Welp, the weight of the world is in your hands, Yamato. Including that dead dude on your back. (<- sarcastic)
Sk8 1
I’ve been hearing good things about this anime! Let’s go! (<- about a week late to the debut)
That politician is probably relevant…probably someone’s dad, if HypMic taught me anything.
LOL, a beef. They call this stuff “beef”? Where’s the chicken? (<- joke from HypMic)
Haemanthus…apparently a flowering plant from S. Africa.
That’s rare, you don’t see Canadians in anime all that much. I was just thinking as I came home from volunteering how you know British people all have fancy names like William and Australians are Johnno, Danno etc., but Canadians? No clue. Update: Apparently you’d call one Arnold or something just as generic…?
Why are all foreigners in anime half-Japanese with the mother being the Japanese side, anyway?...Because people can make their character speak Japanese while looking foreign. Right. Moving right along.
Ahh…I understand your plight all too well, Reki.
…Hmm. It seems Reki’s surname is written kiya, but read “Kyan”. His name literally translates to “history (calendar/age) of bravery (military might)” Update: Turns out his surname is 3 characters (read “kiyan”, although I’ve never seen that final character ever being read as “n”) and his first name is one, so his first name is just “history (calendar/age)”.
Even I suck at balancing on bikes and stuff (…yeah, I still can’t ride a bike even though I’ve done so many other things in my life) and I know you have to support yourself with one foot on the ground before you do things like trick flips. I may not have observed Tony Hawk all that much, but he was on the periphery of my knowledge.
“What’s your hourly wage?” – Ouch, I feel ya, Langa.
Koko ni netete actually means “Lie down here”, but…okay.
These eyecatches are cute.
That’s a cute fox.
Yikes! 60 mph = approx. 97 km/h!!!
Random umeboshi, LOL.
Aghhhhhhhhhhh! Cherry Blossom’s so pretty~! I love him already!
Thank you, based Bones!
Something that can be enjoyed, even without sound: this is why I enjoy both action and comedy anime!
Okinawa? We’re in Okinawa?
Well, that was cool! I didn’t even ask where the location was until the end. Update: Why is this anime sometimes called Sk8 the Infinity anyway…?
Horimiya 1
Horimiya…I’ve been aware of this series for a while. There’s even a Chinese volume of it at a library close to me, although due to contact tracing I haven’t bothered to check it out.
Oh, I bet Hori is the otaku!
Ooh, Marketing Script!
Because I’ve been behind on the premieres, I’ve seen enough to know this boy with the chain is Miyamura.
…argh! Miyamura is cute! Y’all were right!!! (<- likes blushing bois)
I bet there’s going to be an emergency meeting!
“Sorry, it’s egg time!” – Oh, I’m laughing so hard! So that’s the context behind the Wonder Egg Priority meme!
“…see these?!” – Well, it’s not like you have a tattoo or some-*Miyamura shows his tattoos* Never mind…
Oh, I just realised they even animate the minute movements of the eyes Miyamura does…cool.
Notice how Miyamura is blocked from the other guy due to the window.
Miyamura goes “Ishikawa-kun” but “Hori-san”…hmm. No wonder he’s letting Ishikawa get Hori.
The problem I find with romance series is that they’re generally tied to heteronormativity. Hori is coded with red silhouettes and Miyamura with blue…*sigh* Whatever happened to gender ambiguity?
Good heavens, what is up with this ED?! It looks like Pocoyo! (…Does anyone else know that cartoon…?) Aside from that quibble, this anime is great though.
Mushoku Tensei 1
Apparently this is the grandad of all isekai. Why it took so long for an anime of this…who knows?
…and of course this guy’s a loser virgin. Go figure.
*sighhhhhhhhh* He’s just ogling this woman’s boobs…
…oh, sorry. I was so distracted by the man candy, I didn’t care about Rudy.
I-It’s actually quite refreshing to not have an OP protagonist from the get-go for once. (Or maybe I’ve developed such a disdain for isekai since SAO rolled around that everything here suddenly feels fresh.)
You can see the birthplace of isekai without having watched any of the others right here, it looks like.
“…what’s the point of incantations?” – To make it easier for you to cast spells, I gue-spoke too soon.
…wow, they shamelessly showed off Rudy’s privates. I know he’s still young at this stage, but that reminds me of how I dropped Dragon Ball around the time Goku was shown the same way (which is…very early on, by my own admission).
I believe, based on the name of the spinoff I see in the 7 Seas emails, the magic tutor is called Roxy.
You’re thinking about marriage?! At your (reincarnated) age?!
Oh no! The tree again!
LOL, Rudy’s acting like a kid who’s been in COVID lockdown for a while.
I think what most of the isekai that spun off from here missed is that the loser is job age. Losers at life at job age are relatable and high school geniuses are relatable (albeit sometimes insufferable), but losers who become NEETs for no reason whatsoever and then get banged up by Truck-kun are not.
Anyways, this was good, but a risky kind of good, since it seems like this male gaze will continue to be around as Rudy gets older.
Update: Dropped after learning Rudy was a paedophile in his past life.
Update 2: Apparently the anime toned down this paedophilic tendency of Rudy’s, so...now the verdict is that I move on while I let other people tell me if this is true of the anime or not.
Kemono Jihen 1
“Kemono Jihen” means something like “creature incidents”. I wonder why Funimation didn’t change the name…?
Kabane means “summer wing”.
Kanoko Villa, I’d assume, is named after the deer (the name means “deer’s child”).
My experience with Sho Aimoto (creator of this manga) is reading a bit of Hokenshitsu no Shinigami. (That, by the way, reminds me of Nube, but it’s nothing spectacular.) However, Hokenshitsu no Shinigami has a very detailed artstyle…That’s why I’m pretty shocked Kemono Jihen has such a scratchy one…
Ooh, edamame!
Oh, I see…this is like Furuba or a werewolf story, huh? Rather than a Natsume Yuujincho sort of thing.
…I thought Inugami and Dorotabo had seen everything of each other because of bathing together…I guess not, then.
…is Yataro going to die?
It seems the “immortal demons” are oni, so…why subtitle them as “immortal demons” and not just “demons”?
Ohhhhhhhh…this shite’s good. It seems to have a throwback feeling to it, moreso than even Yashahime or a lot of the sequels I’ve seen recently.
Cells at Work!! 2
I was going to move right along to Wonder Egg Priority because I’m really behind on the debuts right now, but I accidentally opened this up while I was cleaning up so I might as well watch another episode or two before setting it aside.
He’s dead, Jim. (<-joking)
…gosh, these walls look like Hover all over again and that’s from 1995…
LOL, these background cells don’t even have any details. They’re basically stick figures with fat bodies…
I think that phrase that appeared, “Take good care of B Cell!”, may be a pun on Give My Regards to Black Jack (written with similar Japanese, “B Cell wo Yoroshiku!” vs. “Black Jack ni Yoroshiku!”).
LOL, “you sure have the guts”…while they’re in the guts.
The certificate says something about it being presented to someone in the face of bravery, I think (<- just looked at it briefly).
“You have a good head on your shoulders,” says the T cell as WBC struggles with the disguise…stuck on his head.
Wonder Egg Priority 1
I’ve been hearing this series is surreal, but no more surreal than Flip Flappers. So…I don’t know if I’ll like it or not.
What’s this K?(?96…?
There’s a sunflower on her raincoat…so that’s why I saw a post called “You’re the sunflower”. Personally, that just reminds me of Post Malone.
Those Seeno Evils…they’re CGI, aren’t they?
As Boueibu once said (but I may be paraphrasing here), “nothing is more scary than free”.
…to be honest with you, I haven’t had a best friend for at least 2 years now. I only really feel close to people who are like me and who I have sustained contact with over many years, so I end up cutting contact with people after we part ways and never trying to fix it.
I always find it slightly absurd when anime girls get a little pudgy and go, “I’m so fat!” (See, for instance, the Dumbbell series.) Or, in this case, Ai’s going, “I’m so ugly!” when there’s nothing wrong with her. She’s only a bit different from everyone else due to her heterochromia - she doesn't have any physical or mental difficulties.
IChu 1
Here for Ume and, of course, dem bois. Bring it!
I seem to remember one of the magazines called an “Ichu” “an idol egg” (i.e. a fledgling idol)…More egg puns for me, then.
I found him! Ume! He’s Akira Mitsurugi! Update: Turns out that’s Toshiyuki Toyonaga…Oops. (Ume is actually Lucas from I*B.)
Huh? For a second, I imagined Akira with a dubbed voice. Of course, I could only be dreaming, because idol anime normally don’t get dubs, but…it was interesting to think about.
LOL, “Onsta”.
This Akio-type character is popular lately. The sort who’s timid but has an outstanding talent they themselves might not see.
…uh, but Kocho means “Principal”…?
An idol bear?!
Torahiko is crazy…(Note the tigers. Tora = tiger.)
Specifically, that’s black coffee with no sugar.
As much as I want to keep watching this, I’ll hit pause on it here. There’s much better offerings this season.
YuruCamp s2 1
…grandpa’s writing is so…neat.
*glares at CGI car…*
This OP just doesn’t compare to Shiny Days, y’know…?
OOPArts.
Talking pine cones! They’re back!
Curry rice! Literally had some of the Japanese-style stuff the other day. It was great.
All this talk about jobs…I personally don’t like jobs because I like to work at my own pace (hence one reason why I’m working on being a translator), but…money…I’m jealous, girls.
I’m trying not to rely on the subs for those texts that appear on the screen so that I can keep my reading skills up…I kept up with them for the most part…but then I got distracted by the croquette sign at one point…
“…buy you some local food?” – That’s omiyage, normally translated “souvenirs”. “Local food” actually does make more sense in that gap, though.
…man, I’m jealous that the girls all got jobs suitable for their personalities and everything. Lil’ ol’ antisocial me sucks at retail, even after 2 years.
Design-bu 1
LOL, that man and his bunny. Update: That’s Unabara-san.
…geez, these utaite are everywhere now. I’ve seen 96neko, USSS, Eve and more being more central to anime song creation…
Thise characters in the OP seal (<-the stamp, not the animal) are saiyou, meaning “recruited”, or in this case, “accepted”.
OEM = original equipment manufacturer.
Hrm…you can tell it’s a giraffe by description, but…that “base everything on the horse” is interesting as you could count several things as horse derivatives. Also, the angels’ names are all standard Japanese names with natural components to them (Ueda = upright rice field, Shimoda = frost rice field etc).
Is this pink-themed guy…a guy? Or a crossdresser? Update: That’s Kanamori-san.
I like how the suits have little wing-like flaps. Also the wings on Shimoda’s back.
…I never thought an anime episode would make me so concerned about giraffes.
That guy in the green I remember from the Wave x Tendebu (Heaven’s Design Team) collab, his name is Kimura.
Oh, so there is a bird like that!
The random wiggling the chibis do in these short segments…it’s a bit disorienting. (<-Just a small quibble of mine.)
Oh! Galapagos effect!
Agonistic: “polemical; combative.” I thought they meant “antagonistic”.
Oh man, that punch line was great! It took me a while to get into the spirit of it, but this anime is great!
Update: Oh, that’s where those nature names come from! They’re actually meant to be gods! (Or…named after gods…?) Also, Ueda vs. Shimoda (the “shimo” could be the kanji for “below”).
Ex-Arm 1
I’ve heard this anime looks bad…even well before its debut. How bad? Let’s find out.
*stifles laughter* From the first pan, I know this anime is doomed on my list. Even Praeter was better than this!
*stifles laughter again* This OP really does look as bad as the stuff I was seeing prior to winter 2021! Like a game I shouldn’t take out of my archives! (It’s not as bad as Hover’s graphics, but still…that’s from 1995. Cut it some slack.)
That’s the 2nd Kimura this season…
Yugg is just…ugly. Never try to render elaborate eyelashes in CGI again, people.
Dimension High School was better than this because at least that had puzzles. This is even jankier than that!
Wait, why is Akira 3D when his dad is 2D? It’s not that obvious, but I notice these things. Update: That’s not his dad…but close enough. (That’s his brother.)
…and here comes Truck-kun! (LOL)
This would be good…if it weren’t rendered in the jankiest CGI known to man…
Alma’s gun strike doesn’t have a lot of force to it.
The fire is rendered so terribly…*stifles laughter*
This part with a disembodied Akira is what I assume I got up at 6 am for…but I can’t hear it, due to background noise. Remind me to confirm this later. (Minami’s mouth is rendered so terribly…augh.)
No force to any of these recent motions, either.
LOL, this censorship.
Wave 1
Ever since this project was announced, I’ve been watching developments unfold on Anime News Network. I knew it would get an anime or something similar I could follow…and now here I am. I mentioned in the Sk8 comments I have basically zero knowledge of surfing, so…this is very unexpected, in one sense.
Was that a drone…?
“Wizard of the Waifu Board”?! Are you kidding me?! (LOL)
There seem to be shots where I can see the CGI here, but…anything’s better than Ex-Arm. Let’s say that.
Actually…yappe is a derivative of yabai, meaning “cool” or “crap” (in an ironic sense). So it would probably be better to translate it as “Surfing’s the greatest!” or “Surfing’s the coolest!” Anyways, what I was thinking before I was going to say this was that the waves are so enticingly animated, it feels like a summer anime. Basically the only other anime I’ve ever said that for is Grand Blue.
If I’m understanding where Isokichi’s name comes from right, “iso” is the character for seashore or a rocky beach (磯).
LOL, the teacher just wrote “Show must go on.”
Hayama, Kanagawa. Kanagawa’s capital is Yokohama, so it’s not quite Tokyo, but somewhat close.
“Murphy”? I have zero clue what that means.
Oh, I see. The title is translated that way due to context. Now that I can accept.
I just burst out into laughter when I realised Nalu hasn’t dropped or put down his ukulele once.
BSD Wan! 1
Here comes my past to haunt me…aside from me being a fan of BSD, I’m here because I influenced this series. How so? Once upon a time in the now-distant year of 2016, I was a scanlator for a brief period. Most of the work I’ve done hasn’t influenced the world at large, but this is the most influential manga I had a hand in working on.
Oh no! They’re starting with the dog AU?! (That comes from pretty far into the manga, IIRC. Further than my work was on it, at least.)
It’s Rashomon, but Rashoken (that last bit means “dog”). Hence Ruffshomon.
Basically, they just insert dog-related words everywhere…don’t make me explain every one!
Ouch, I can only imagine how much pain it was to translate Inu Shikkaku. Literally, it’s “No Longer a Dog”, but how would anyone make it in line with the other puns…?
I wasn’t fully aware of how the dog AU was connected to the main Wan series because I haven’t really looked at it after I quit due to aggregators, but…that was a nice fakeout. Also, I was concerned as to whether this was going to be a full-length ep or a short…seems like it’s a 10 minute short, so I have more chances of taking it.
…oh gosh, that pose! I remember it! I worked on this one! (Now that I know it’s a TV short, I won’t cover future episodes, but I want to at least finish this one because I started it.)
I think they added a bit there. I remember Kunikida’s and Yosano’s were in the manga, but not the other members or Fukuzawa going “the wind is smiling” + Kenji working on the roof at the start.
Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh, I remember Rampo. I think I had to approximate how he would say stuff with Pocky in his mouth, but Slug (current scanlator) went the extra mile and stuck food in his mouth to do the same panel.
It seems to make a short ep., they strung a bunch of the chapters together. Also, I don’t think we ever found out what Yosano’s puddle was and that was…probably for the better.
Oh yeah…I think I remember this one.
Now I remember it! I remember having fun explaining what a youkan was.
Whoa, Higuchi scrapped the SFX! That wasn’t in the original…
The ED seems to be an Atsushi cover of Namae wo Yobu yo.
Oh noooooooooooo! The flower gazing episode! That’s the one I remember most, because I was trying to figure out how to translate 移動 while making it smooth-sounding English…(I remember the final result was something like, “Move! Move~!”
Dr Stone: Stone Wars 1
Final debut! Let’s go~!
The last time this series was on the air was about 1 year ago. I can remember that far back…
I like how that recap is framed as Gen talking to the kids.
Senku overcomes every problem with science.
…not much to comment on here.

erik’s always been closed off, careful to keep his emotions at bay and substitute the suppression with the examination. it was a miracle you stuck around after the first date, he’d say. it was always your job to speak and his job to analyze every word. you’ve only admitted it once or twice, but you found your thighs tightening just watching his piercing gaze. he trusted nobody as much as you, cutting his hair, choosing his outfits or providing advice to improve suri. you saw his scars, his tears, and his laughs, and you loved every inch of his being. while erik rarely verbally expressed his affection, the thought was never neglected. when there’s time, he’ll climb into the bed late at night and wrap his arms around your waist, sighing into your ear. if you asked, he’d talk for hours about this and that from kabul, how you needed to try this food or learn this phrase in dari.
if erik wasn’t tinkering away with suri at your shared apartment, he was at the operative’s base, fighting for what’s right and ensuring the safety of his teammates. it just so happened that his most recent departure was to last half a year, sans electronics or any form of communication to protect against interference.
no calls, texts. you would have forgotten his face if it weren’t for the photos from the years. your mother would always tell you it was about time to marry that man, but you wanted to wait. if thorn was going to call you his, he’d wait on his own time. your mother would heckle him on the limited days he’d spend with his second parents, “discreetly” bringing up your ring size or inquire about the best man, if he had to choose. he’d merely exhale with a polite smile, picking at the food. you silently agreed with his wordless response. neither of you needed a certificate to prove your bond, while it may have been a sweet gesture if provided at any time.
erik kept his eyes on a photo of you whenever he could. it was always tucked into a pocket for quick access. during a close situation, he’d wring his hands, feeling over the tattoo of your initials on his ring finger through his gloves.
if only he could tell you he did such.
as one month turned to two and two turned to three, you began to pace anxiously, wondering how your lover was from a world away. you went through his office, perusing through the operator files and transcripts of his data, just to read his psychological profile and smile at the accuracy. you went through his rewards and souvenirs of his time in kabul, locating a spare outfit of the one he wore to missions. some days you’d wear his coat in public, and others you’d shrivel up into a fetal position under it and weep into the sleeve. your heart ached more than anything to rekindle the scents of him in your living space. you were empty, half of a person.
could he be... you perished the thought. don’t even think about it, he’s the smartest man you know! he wouldn’t put his life on the line like that! even in your nightmares, you’d watch him on the battlefield, a fallen soldier with his eyes open for the last time. you told yourself you’d love him despite any flaws, but the idea of him learning to reuse a lost limb haunted your deepest conscience. you just hoped that, more than anything, he’d be the same erik thorn that you met on that fateful day.
as you’re going through the files for what feels like the thousandth time, you finally notice a note previously missed.
“synergies: iq’s r.e.d. works exceptionally well with maverick, and it’s a blessing that the two of them are so compatible.“
“i’ve never heard of an iq,” you said, scrunching your nose. your eyes trailed down to the bottom of the page.
“additional operator’s notes:
‘he’s unlike anything i’ve seen. it’s no mystery he carries himself well; he deserves the spotlight for his extraordinary performance.’
—monika ‘iq’ weiss”
monika? you’ve never heard of her. your heart plummeted, assuming the worst. if you’ve never heard the name from his lips, and they seem to be so close, there was really only one conclusion: he was hiding her from you. but erik wouldn’t do that, right?
...right?
the next few days left you torn. the only person that seemed to want you was your bed, and you could no longer even look into his area of the room without feeling like you were intruding on this mystery woman’s side.
three months turned to four and four turned to five and a half. the idea of counting the days left on your fingers was thrilling, and you couldn’t wait to be back in his arms. the arms that another girl’s been in, your conscience spat at you. you shake your head, hard enough to remove any bad thoughts. it clawing never ceased, though, and you wanted to just cry from seeing his face. you never wanted to bring it up in fear of ruining what the two of you have been building for several years. if you pretended enough, it wouldn’t become a problem.
the day finally came.
you weren’t necessarily a trophy wife, but you prided in being able to make a full, home-cooked meal. just as you’re garnishing a pasta dish, you heard keys jingle into the lock. your knees nearly gave in but you pushed on, wiping your hands on your jeans and turning towards the entrance with a sincere smile.
his back faced you first, locking the door behind him. your heart jumped at the surreal experience, watching his tired movements complete actions he’d done for years prior. he slowly spun, eyes meeting you own. his glance was empty, more exhausted than you’ve ever seen him. his hair had grown out to his shoulders and his beard was begging for a razor. had you not known that his hair was past due before he left, you’d say he looked just like the time back in kabul, disheveled. you took slow strides, taking in every detail of his face before wrapping your arms around his middle. he placed his around your neck and held you close, breathing heavily to stop any tears. it was quiet, no words needed to be exchanged.
“i missed you,” he said lowly, voice cracking slightly. you smiled, blinking a tear from your lashes.
“i missed you too.”
it took a full minute to separate and you took off his jacket, leading him with a hand to the dining room.
“i can’t remember the last time i ate food that wasn’t packaged,” he observed, grabbing a fork and looking up. “you’re off.”
“off? how do you mean?” you swallowed. erik’s profile literally states how well he is at reading people. no amount of acting could stop his analytical gaze from staring straight into your soul. “i’m alright.”
“i’ve known you for nine years, i know when you’re lying to me.” you sighed, downing your wine.
“monika?” you mumbled to see if he would pick it up.
“what about her?” so he acknowledges it.
“who’s that?”
“coworker,” he elaborated. “why’d you ask?”
“you like her at all?”
his brows furrowed and he leaned back, tilting his head.
“yes, i’d say so. she gets the job done and she knows what she’s doing.”
“and?”
“that’s the end of it,” he took a bite.
“is she pretty?”
“what is this about?” erik placed his hands on the table, not loud enough to be called a slam, but it got the message across. you shrunk in your seat, feeling embarrassed just bringing it up. “did you go through my copy of my profile?” you nodded slowly. he stood up straighter than before.
“y/n. we’re coworkers,” he emphasized, face still. “did you really think that—“
“i dont know what i thought! i’ve never heard you talk about her and it’s been a long time—“
“six months is nothing compared to the years i’ve spent with you,” erik arose. “she happens to have a gadget that works well with my own. we need to communicate to get anything done.” you placed your head in your hands, flushed. just when you thought he was done, he continued to speak.
“i love you too much to even think of it. every minute i spent on mission, i had you in my head. i came real close to the end at one point. do you know what i said? ‘what is y/n going to say?’ i wouldn’t leave you, ever. you’re the reason i’m still standing, so if you think you’re worth any less than you are, then for the first time in ages, you’re wrong. never underestimate yourself,” as he spoke, he moved closer, embracing you once more. his scruffy chin rested on top of your head, jaw bouncing as he murmured every word. “i’d live for you, because i couldn’t stand to part from your side. i swear, those six months felt like hell and seeing you here isn’t real. i really didn’t think i had separation anxiety since that first date. you closed that door behind you and i felt so alone, i never knew how isolated i was from happiness.”
he parted, reaching to his hung jacket and fishing into the pocket. his large hand concealed the item, but you already began to cry at the thought.
“and i want this to remind you,” he got onto one knee, fumbling with the box before opening it. “if i could marry anyone, i’d still choose you.”
he didn’t even have to pop the question, you were already nodding and wiping your cheeks from the spilling emotions. he took the ring from the box, placing it on your finger.
“i planned for a different scenario,” erik admitted. “but any moment is perfect with you.”
“that’s so cheesy,” you said, smiling goofily. “i would’ve said yes any day.” you leaned into a kiss, sharing a moment of happiness for half a minute or so. “i love you.”
“i love you too,” erik replied. “please don’t forget that.”

I don’t know what this is so just take this FAHC stuff
Continuation of this
Gavin isn’t a baby anymore, that’s a fact Ryan is very much aware of.
He’s in his room, sat up in bed and reading a book Geoff recommended. It was fascinating and dictated the history of Hawaiian music and it’s growth into the 21st century. He’s on a particularly riveting part explaining the monarchies involvement in music when Gavin throws his door open.
The younger man launches himself into Ryan’s lap and whines like the child Ryan can’t help but see right now. He sets his book aside and runs his fingers through Gavin’s hair.
“Hey Gav.”
“I’m in love with Lil J.”
Well, that’s not where he thought this conversation was going. He’s not surprised, he’s seen the way those two look and act around each other, had known this was only a matter of time.
“And?”
“And I dunno. I’m sad now.”
“Because you like Jeremy?”
“Dunno. I just feel all gammy and weird.”
He sighs, “Is it nerves?”
Gavin is silent a moment. They had realized, somewhere around Gavin’s teens, that the boy felt very strongly but often times didn’t know how to name or express it. So the three of them had taken to saying the names of certain emotions and Gavin would latch onto the one that seemed to best fit his thought process.
“I think so?”
Another silence, “Is it fear?”
There was no response, but Ryan wasn’t expecting one right away. A few minutes tick by with no words, just Ryan humming to himself as he brushes locks of dyed blonde hair out of Gavin’s face. He needs a haircut soon, the Golden Boy is looking a little scruffy.
“It’s not easy… Being scared.”
“It’s not.” He agreed, because there’s nothing else to say.
“I don’t like being scared.”
“I know.”
As a kid Gavin had been scared before, of loud noises of scary movies and video games, but never of blood or violence. He never feared people before.
“Ryan is scarier than anyone else, and he’ll scare all the scary stuff away!” He’d said with all the conviction and loyalty his four year old body could hold.
So he gathers his kid (he’s not his dad, not in the least, but he’s something to him. Something precious and important and Ryan loves him with everything he has) into his arms and squeezes him tightly. Gavin melts in his arms and blinks back tears.
“I’ve never liked anyone like this before.”
“I know.”
“I’m scared Ryan.”
“I know.” He says again, “But I’m scarier than anything else. I’ll scare all that scary stuff away.”
And Gavin smiles.

Hiya Monica! 43 and 54 for the KDrama asks!
Hi AMIANNA :D I’M SO GLAD YOU ASKED THESE QUESTIONS
43. One K-drama you could rewatch over and over?
Well, I already HAVE rewatched Are You Human Too? three times. And yesterday was listening to the soundtrack and realized it is about time to watch it again lol. It is just so GOOD
Plot: Scientist mom loses her son to his evil grandpa and in the depths of her despair she builds herself a robot son. Robot son is the best, kindest, sweetest creature in the world and all he wants to do is hug people who are sad. But GUESS WHAT. Human son grows up in his evil grandpa’s house and he is not exactly ok with his life, but hey at least he has a loyal secretary who tries to keep him out of trouble. Loyal secretary is the bestest most loyal man whose hashtags are #stressed #depressed #well-dressed. Seriously, his nickname to me is Blue, because he wears the most striking blue suit once. It’s great. Oh yeah, also, the more experiences the robot son has, the more he acts like a human. And some of the actual humans he meets are terrible people. So. What DOES it mean to be human? YOU MUST WATCH TO FIND OUT
54. Recommend 3 fluffy AF dramas
Aha. Aha. I have no straight fluff for you. Even the fluffiest kdrama has some angst. Which is just how I like it. However, there are some that are more fluffy overall than others. 
--Her Private Life is a fun romance, with my favorite actor Kim Jae Wook (in a very different role than he acts in The Guest, which is an extremely not fluffy kdrama but which is one of my all-time favorites and which I highly highly recommend for the sake of the three main characters, like even if you have to skip through the scary stuff it will be worth it for the scruffy psychic taxi driver, the detective who never gives up and who WILL kick a demon in the face, and the sad, somber, secretly soft priest who is my all-time favorite priest in any media ever)(also these three faves are so SO SOFT AND SWEET WITH KIDS I DIED EVERY TIME THERE WAS AN INTERACTION)(SORRY I STARTED RECOMMENDING THIS SHOW I SHOULD HAVE PUT IT AS ONE OF THE OTHER KDRAMAS I COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN) 
oh dear oops I need to actually tell you about HPL. RYAN THE LION GOLD is an ex-artist and the new director of an art museum, and Sung Deok Mi is the best art curator at said museum. Ryan has some sadness in his backstory and Deok Mi has a secret: she is a top fan of a kpop idol, whom she takes pictures of. ThIS ROMANCE IS SO FLUFFY I WANT TO DIE, AND THE BITS OF ANGST ONLY MAKE THE FLUFF ALL THE SWEETER
--Strong Woman Do Bong Soon is pretty fluffy. Do Bong Soon, a tiny young woman with super powered strength, becomes the bodyguard of the extremely rich, extremely extra and hot CEO of a gaming company. Their romance is very cute. I don’t like all the side characters and frankly there is a gangster side plot that could have been cut at no loss, but I would do anything for Ahn Min Hyuk, the CEO (played by Park Hyung Sik, whose only benefit to being in the military right now and having a military haircut is that it is very easy to see his adorably cute lil ear)
--It’s after midnight and I am blanking, but I guess you could say Are You Human Too? has a lot of fluff. It has so much fluff. but also pain. but then more fluff......and then pain. 
Oh ok, this is a cdrama rather than a kdrama, but Accidentally in Love. It is cute, and cheesier than brie, and sometimes I shake my head at the characters or the storyline, because it is slightly unbelievable or needs further development, but even through all this, the show was just light-hearted and made me laugh.  Basically, it’s about an heiress who disguises herself at university to escape marriage, and the famous singer who also goes to school there. The romance is cute if not ground-breaking, and I enjoyed the other characters, especially the singer’s pure-hearted, self-sacrificing best bro, the bad boy who has a beef with the singer, the bad girl who needs to get a grip, and a few others. It made me happy when I was sad, and so I love it

↳ DOMESTIC!STEVE HARRINGTON | MASTERLIST
Fandom: Stranger Things 
Word Count: 3,475
A/N: I needed something fluffy after watching ST3, so uh.... Here ya go. Inspired by this post by @xstrangerwritings !!
Tumblr media
You and Steve had been talking about leaving Hawkins for what felt like forever, planning down to the smallest details and saving every penny
Just wanting to move away from all the terrible shit that happened there, all of the bad memories and associations
So after a year or so of saving up money, the two of you decided to jump the gun and just do it
You’d end up somewhere considerably bigger than your hometown
Either Louisville, which was just south of Hawkins, or a little north into Indianapolis
You’d end up in a little brick house with ugly black shutters (that you’d later get drunk and paint lime green, which the Landlord was surprisingly cool with) and a good sized backyard, all in a quiet suburb
The house wasn’t very big, or very impressive like the ones you used to live in back home, but it was just enough for the two of you
Two bedrooms and one bathroom, a small kitchen and a slightly bigger living room
It was so small, but your options were limited because of your age and how little money you had
Determined to not have to ask either of your parents for money, wanting to prove that the two of you could do this and be truly independent, so you made it work
The two of you did everything by yourselves
Painting the walls, packing and unpacking boxes, moving furniture...
You wanted to strangle Steve with your bare hands a couple times throughout the first couple days, and he was right there with you
Both of you were exhausted and annoyed and sweating like crazy in the sweltering summertime heat, it just wasn’t a good mix at all
By the end of the third day, the two of you had almost finished the living room, and it truly had started to feel like a home
Your home, together
The Harrington’s on Highland Street
And as you stood in the kitchen doorway, looking into the living room, you felt so proud of yourselves
The two of you were tired and sweaty and covered from head to toe in colorful housepaint, but he’d still pull you in for a long kiss
Soon enough, both of you had landed good enough jobs in your new town
But then, you had started to realize that it was a little bit lonely, something was missing...
And then Steve brought home this fat, scruffy little puppy one day and everything fell into place
You didn’t even question where the hell he’d gotten the dog, even though you probably should’ve
It wouldn’t take long for both of you to fall in love with the little monster
It’s literally your new best friend, but it definitely prefers Steve
Really only because he feeds it a little too much and will take it in the (fenced in) back yard and literally run in circles so it can chase him
“This is my workout now! Baby, look!”
After a while, you decide to take up babysitting neighborhood kids for some extra money
Steve grimaces when you mention it because he figured the babysitting days were over since the two of you moved, but ultimately he warms up to it
it doesn’t take long for you to get a gig babysitting a 2yo and a 12wk old twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays
Their mom works night shift those nights and is paying a sizable sum for you to keep them overnight, which you’re happy to do
The first night that she’s supposed to drop them off, you’re a nervous wreck, rethinking the entire thing
But suddenly Steve is really confident
Back in Hawkins, he used to babysit the kids all the time and they made it out in one piece
So this should be a piece of cake, because babies can’t be that different than whole children
... Right???
Neither of you are a hundred percent where to start as you sift through the overnight bag she’d given you
The toddler is sitting on the couch with a tiny little kid book, quiet as can be, while the baby is practically clinging to your chest
So eventually, Steve just goes and sits down beside her and starts making conversation
Well, as much as she can, she’s little
The two start getting along very well and then he’s digging through the bag to find all of her toys and flipping the TV onto a kid’s channel for noise
Meanwhile, you’ve moved into a quieter room, now sitting up in your big cozy bed with the baby feeding her
Once it gets a little late, Steve makes a little bed for her on the couch and tucks her in, and she falls right asleep
He quietly enters the bedroom to see that you’ve dozed off, the now-cold half-empty bottle of formula between your legs with the baby resting across your chest, her head resting atop your breasts
And he just melts, immediately, and his it creeps into his mind that that’s what you’d look like holding his baby
It’s the sweetest thing he’s ever seen, honestly
The next day, you’d be poking fun at how good he was with the older kid and he’d be joking about you being so good with the baby and all of a sudden that’s when he realizes it
He wants to have a baby with you
A tiny little thing that was the perfect combination of you and him
Your bright (Y/E/C) eyes, his untameable brown hair, your intelligence and his wit
He’d never really thought about children before, at least having any of his own
He just always assumed that one day his wife would get pregnant and that was that, that he’d just wait for that or whatever
But now, it was sinking in that he wants to have a kid with you
The same epiphany comes for you, just a couple weeks later than his
You had left him alone with the kids for a few minutes while you went to take a quick shower, and had come back to see the older girl rested across his torso, arm loosely thrown over his stomach, and the baby pulled close into his side, just above her
It really did something to you, because oh fuck, now you’re realizing that you want to have a baby with him
You just swooned at the sight of them, so cozy and happy, and couldn’t help but wonder what your own children would be like
Both of you are silent, both thinking of the best way to broach the subject
But then one night as you’re laying in bed cuddling, nearly fallen to sleep, he just blurts it out
“Y/N? I think we should have a baby.”
After some discussion, you decided to put that on the backburner and start particularly saving up money for a baby, just for when the time was right
The next eight months just breeze right by
And then, it all comes to a screeching halt
You realized that you’d been nauseous for a few days, throwing up first thing in the morning on most days
And your aversion to your favorite food, your weird cravings lately...
And now a late period...
It’s only when Steve makes a halfhearted little “maybe you’re just pregnant” joke that you even thought about it
It sinks in for both of you at literally the exact same time, and without saying anything, he just leaves and beelines for the store to buy a pregnancy test
So after you go through the process of taking it, the two of you just sit on the cold tile floor in the bathroom beside each other staring at the little stick
He’s absolutely terrified, he’s way more anxious than he thought he would be when this happened, but at the same time, he wasn’t sure he would ever actually be in this situation
Sure, the two of you had talked about it, and decided that it could wait, but he really didn’t see it happening for a looong time then but now it’s suddenly his reality
You’re just kind of chilling, torn between joining him in being absolutely fucking terrified or overjoyed, or just kind of numb
Your hand creeps over to his, and he takes it, holding it tightly, running his thumb over the soft back of your hand reassuringly
And then, slowly but surely, two bold pink lines show up
Pregnant
You’re both stunned for a moment before happy tears start flowing, and soon enough you’re in his lap hugging all over him and he’s holding you so tight that you can barely breathe
The very next day, you call a clinic and make an appointment to confirm the pregnancy and see how far along you are
Steve takes the day off, citing a family emergency as the cause, because he refuses to miss this
And he’s so fascinated with everything in the room, all of the shiny silver tools and the computer and the spinning stool
Such a child, truly
You have to quietly scold him every so often when he gets a little too curious and starts opening cabinets
The doctor finally comes in with results...
Positive, again
You’re having Steve’s baby
The thought was absolutely earth-shattering for the both of you, but you were 100% sure that you’d get through it together, it’ll be okay
And it was, it really was
You were about eight weeks along, just far enough to see a big grey blob inside a big black blob on the ultrasound photo (which would later be framed and hung up on the wall in your house)
From the very day you found out that you really were pregnant, Steve was the absolute best partner you could’ve asked for
Always making sure that you’re comfortable and taken care of
Anything you want, he’ll do his best to get it for you
And he’s so supportive, more than usual
Like, he’d comfort you for an hour after you cry because or something sad on TV and have no complaints
He’d want to laugh a little at how sweet it was, but would catch himself and just keep you in his arms until your emotions evened out again
When you start to have a lil bump, he’s obsessed
And so, so incredibly protective of you both
When it gets big enough to kick, he loves playing with it
Tapping little rhythms against your belly, talking to the baby
The two of you would be laying in bed at night and his hand would just creep over and start tapping, causing it to kick into you
He couldn’t stop himself, he just had to feel it before either of you fell asleep
And he’s always on about names, constantly
Some are kinda bad, but most are pretty good
Constantly jokes about naming it after you, or him
He’s very picky though, will immediately shoot down a name if he knew someone who knew someone who had that name and was an assclown
Which might actually be a good thing, although annoying
At night before bed is when he gets into that sort of stuff, and it just becomes a habit
You’ll stay up for ages talking about it all
What the baby will look like, if it’ll inherit his wild hair, your eyes
What kind of music it’ll like when it’s older and what it’s favorite food will be, what it’s favorite toys will be
Ultimately, he’s incredibly anxious, but that sort of helps him get through it
He’s so hung up and worried about whether he’ll be a good dad or not
He and his parents don’t have the best relationship, and the last thing he wants is for his kid to go through that
It’s all he seems to think about when you’re not with him
He doesn’t tell you about any of this until a bit later, though
It finally comes out when you’re about five and a half months along and you see him sitting on the floor in the nursery late at night, tears in his eyes
It all comes pouring out when you sit down with him and start talking
It ends with you taking him into a big hug and letting him cry for a bit, and then going back to bed and for the first time in your relationship, you big spoon him instead
Running your fingers through his hair, whispering sweet little things into his ear and kissing his neck, making sure he knows you’re here for him
He loves the feeling of your bump against him, the two of you don’t fit together quite right but that’s okay
When you actually give birth, it’s total chaos from the start
As soon as your water breaks, he’s running around like a headless chicken in pure panic
Absolute. Panic.
You’ve just decided to sit down for a few minutes while he literally runs around in panic, giving him a second
“Steve, sweetheart, it’s fine. We have at least a few hours. So can you please go get the hospital bag while I get ready to go? It’s not an emergency.”
“Baby!! You’re having the baby!! This is totally an emergency!!”
He literally doesn’t leave your side the entire time you’re in labor
Like, he pulls a chair up to the bedside and just chills
And when it gets serious, like the baby is actually being delivered, he is so nervous
Like, he’s probably squeezing your hand tighter than you are his
Just out of anticipation
And when the baby is finally born and he gets to cut the umbilical cord, he literally just breaks down in tears
So many tears
(Let’s say the baby is a girl, but feel free to change pronouns if you want)
She’s so freaking perfect
So tiny and so sweet, so delicate and fragile
Just the best little thing he’s ever seen in his entire life
He loved her so much when she was in your belly, and now that she’s really here, he loves her so much more and he just doesn’t understand how
And as he holds her for the first time, he can’t believe that he helped make her
Like, she’s just so beautiful and perfect
They take her away for a little while and the two of you take that time to just relax
But he can’t stop thinking about the fact that you’re parents now, that he’s a dad
By the way, the two of you would settle on a name that’s cute, a little weird, not entirely common
Or just straight up named after one of you, just like he joked about during the pregnancy
(Little Stevie Harrington? Stella, maybe? How about the more common Stephanie? He’s down for it if you are)
When the name is officially decided, the first thing he does is call the kids back home
Who had eagerly been awaiting news of baby’s arrival since he told them you were pregnant
They freak out and he freaks out and everyone just freaks out for a few minutes
When you finally get to bring her home, Steve simply refuses to put her down
Like, it might actually be unhealthy
He’s just so in love and obsessed with her
He willingly takes night shift just so he can have more quiet time with her
And every time she cries, his heart skips a beat
He hates it, he hates to hear his girl cry, even though he knows that she just needs something and it’s simple
Sometimes, you’ll wake up with the bed empty and go in the nursery to find him asleep with her on his chest, sitting in the rocker
She is SUCH a daddy’s girl, even from the start
You can’t help but take so many pictures
And he’s the same way, he’s constantly taking pictures of you and her together
When he first starts taking a bunch of pictures, you’re annoyed as hell that he won’t put the camera down, but somehow he manages to convince you they’ll be worth it in 20 years
And he is completely right
(By the way, her friends all 100% have such a crush on young!Steve when they see the pictures, but also probably old!Steve too because... I’m not going to assume that he WOULDN’T be an absolute dilf, that’s just facts)
The kids finally come to visit when she’s a couple months old
You can’t help but lecture all of them for a second or two on how to hold a baby, how to keep her up, etc, but they don’t mind
Dustin is the first to hold her and he’s so excited that he can hardly hold still
When he finally passes her off to Max and El, who are both just amazed
Will literally looks at her with such heart eyes
They’re all just absolutely amazed that freaking STEVE had a baby
Like, they did not expect that one at all but it works
They’re so proud of the two of you and just in love with their little neice
Joyce is so excited to be an “auntie” tbh, like no old told her she was, she just assumed, and she’s right
Mike and Lucas totally make a joke about him being a permanent babysitter now or something
Robin’s smiling and cracking jokes like “hmm... still a dingus. Your baby isn’t though” and he’s like “oh, bite me, you know we’re both perfect”
And Steve definitely cries later that night, when everyone’s gone
He’s just so happy, his heart has never been more full in his entire life
By the way, the little puppy isn’t so little anymore and they definitely love the baby
When she’s a little older, they play together so much
Like, you can put her down on her little play mat in the living room and pup won’t let her crawl around too much where you can’t see her from the kitchen or something
Such a good lil doggie
And as soon as she’s old enough, she realizes that if she acts sad, Steve will do literally anything for her
A n y t h i n g
She also learns that he makes funny faces from the pain when she pulls on his hair and clothes and she just loves that
He is also constantly playing with her and keeping her entertained
Steve is definitely a “cool dad”, more like a friend than an actual parent, but it’s the best
Let me repeat... She is SUCH a daddy’s girl
At about ten months old, she takes her first steps
Steve was busy doing something and she was playing with some toys in the other room
And he just hears a little ‘thump’ so he rushes in there
And she’s standing up, holding onto the couch arm for support
He absolutely loses his shit, completely not ready for this at all
He quietly cheers his baby on, mumbling for her to come to daddy, just a couple little steps, she can do it
Slowly, she raises her foot, and takes a tiny little step, and then another,and another, and then she falls down
His brain literally exploded because of how proud he was of her
He describes it to you later in such vivid detail that you truly ought to have been there
Her first word is also probably daddy, which makes him just melt
You’re not even mad, just so happy and proud and relieved that they have such a bond like that
He was so worried over whether he’d be a good dad or not, and now that she’s here, he’s not only a good dad, but an AMAZING dad, literally the best father ever, probably
She’s always so sweet and soft and happy and she’s literally on both of your minds so much
Steve literally probably carries a picture of her everywhere
One in his car, one in his wallet, one in his pocket
Just so he can show her off whenever he can
He’s such a dork
And he definitely wants to have another, he starts bringing it up just after her first birthday
You laugh him off thinking it’s a joke, but he’s dead serious
“We’ll talk about it when she’s older” isn’t good enough for him, the baby fever is really hitting hard again as he looks at her newborn pictures
And eventually, you tell him to wait until she’s at least two to start trying again
Two is a good number, you thought
Just old enough to be a little independent, a little bit less attention needed, but still a baby & plus, they’ll be close in age, meaning they’ll probably be permanent best friends
From that point on, Steve is practically counting down the days until her second birthday, and absolutely will not forget what you said
