HERE ARE SOME THINGS I MADE AS A BRIBE

ILL TAKE IT// but yea I didn’t rly put a limit cos ppl are decent enuf to not request like 10 at a time right?? 😅 here ya go swaglorddd

sick s/o headcanons with:

sugawara koushi, hinata shoyo, sawamura daichi, kenma kozume

gn!reader :)

sugawara koushi

if you show up to his practice wrapped in layers of clothing and a red nose, he’ll excuse himself immediately and force you to sit down on the bench while he goes to coach ukai’s store to get some meds for you

when he comes back, both his hands are carrying two plastic bags

one of them has your stuff, warm food that isn’t greasy and cough drops too

the others are cold drinks for his teammates aww karasuno’s mom

you are forBiddEn to have the drinks too except for the warm water he put in your water bottle

rly wished you’d go home first instead of waiting for his practice to end but it doesn’t seem like you want to

he’ll look to the benches every few minutes to see your sleeping form

during break, he’ll gently move your head onto his lap so you don’t have to lay on the hard bench

as soon as they’re dismissed he’s giving you his jacket cos “it gets cold in the night time” and warms up ur hands

if you try to keep ur distance so he doesn’t get sick too, he’ll joke that you prolly already got the whole team sick

making you pout and him pinching ur cheeks 😖

once you reach your place, he’ll linger outside of your door,,,unwilling to let go of your hands SOB

“I’ll come back tomorrow morning ok? I’ll also bring porridge but you still need to eat something else and don’t forget to drink hot wat-”

“yes, yes I know koushi...now go home so you don’t catch a cold too”

but even when you’re standing by your window, you’ll see him looking around your house, tryna figure out which window belongs to your bedroom

and as promised, he comes back the next day with hot porridge and makes sure that your water bottle is full with warm water

and that your backpack has extra cough drops

he’ll still hold your hand and kiss ur forehead

maybe part of him wants to get sick so u can take care of him djhfjdhf

hinata shoyo

he’ll pout a little once he finds out your sick but he’ll still stay by your side!

he’s still overflowing with energy but doesn’t wanna tire you out too much

you’ll hear him stop by your house in the mornings with a volleyball in his hands and maybe kageyama behind him, eating

he’ll bring random snacks from coach ukai’s store and place them at ur door

you’ll sit by ur window and he’ll sit outside of it, telling you about his day, what he did, how practice was

“y/n no one clapped for me T-T”

cos ur usually clapping for him after every successful hit

“kageyama was just yelling at me saying how my spike wasn’t even that great but I know you would’ve said it was good :((“

“aww shoyo, I’m sure it was! Don’t listen to him, ur trying ur best:))”

pet his hair

yes ur the one who’s sick but he misses u

will stop by ur house everyday

I mean he already does that

u usually help him with hw but he doesn’t think he shud ask u when u sleep

all his energy will just go p o o f when he sees u sleeping

he’ll prolly hear windchimes or smthing hahahah

but he’ll be able to sit quietly until you wake up

kageyama’s like HaaH???

SHH

but hinata’s tryna figure out his hw without u helping ok

once ur better, he’ll give you the bIGGGEST hug and sway you side to side AWW I MISS THOSE HUGS

and catch you up on evthing that’s happened

meaning everything that’s happened in the last 5 mins cos he already tells u everything 🙄

sawamura daichi

he’ll make sure you have everything for school

brings you your hw, explains to you the concepts

will call u during lunch or smthing cos it’s boring w/o you

dating him means ur automatically good friends with asahi and sugawara so they’ll check up on you too

and sugawara will tell you how daichi won’t stop talking abt how he can’t wait till u get better dhhdjfjdjs

sometimes you’ll catch him having tea with your mom on your front porch and she’s tryna embarrass you hahhsjdf

Ok but that scenario is just,,, so,,, hubby material yk

like he prolly came by to drop some food and ur moms making him stay and gushing abt how handsome he is

“so you’re the one making my y/n all happy”

rare occasions that daichi blushes #1

he’ll softly knock on ur door and u quickly pretend to be asleep

places sthing on ur desk then just leaves the s o f t e s t kiss on ur forehead and whispers sweet dreams GAHSJFOEJ

when he’s gone you look at what’s on ur desk and it’s a flower crown from ur first date 🥺

keep him ok

will prolly do sthing like throw paper airplanes at ur window

and then when he sees you open ur window he’ll hide behind a tree and watch as u go outside to pick them up

inside he’s written little notes like “get better!” Or “i miss you!” or “WHAT ARE U DOING AWAKE GO BACK TO SLEEP”

like sir u woke me up with all that tapping 🙄🤚🏻

once ur better, you walk into the vb gym first and u can hear him yelling at Tanaka and noya then when he sees u walk in he’s all “oh, y/n” 😌

PLS TANAKa and Noya WORSHIP U NOW SJDJSKKS

in the first couple of days you’re back he’ll still keep an eye on you and have his arm around your shoulder

occasionally putting his hand on your forehead and sneaking a kith 😚

kenma kozume

u didn’t tell him at first that u were sick but he still found out 🙄

“ur sick, aren’t you”

“huh?? No I’m not :((“

will look at u like this -_-

and yk if u stay home from school, he’ll find excuses to hang out in ur room

kuroo will be calling like “is freaking kenma there?!”

yea he’s spooning u

since ur sick, hE’ll be the one to pet ur hair

if it helps u fall asleep

won’t play games in ur room like he usually does cos he doesn’t want the sound and light to distract u

he’ll most likely bring u take out bc he can’t cook and will prolly burn down ur kitchen cos he got distrayced by the tv or smthing ahHa

will check ur temp like every 5 min I swear

“no- ko i rly don’t think my temp is gonna change every 5 min”

“but just in case-“

-_-

he’s smart ok so he’ll tutor you with late hw if u need it

will sit next to you and wiggle his toes by ur feet :3

once ur better, y’all go back to ur usual gaming and eat the hell out of junk food 🤪

a/n: rly hope u liked it 🥺💕 daichi’s was my fav hehe and TY @ilauvcoldpizza FOR HELPING ME W KENMA <3

haikyu!! masterlist

[dancingazaleas]

ymir & historia reiss | addition

i literally never stfu abt them so why not write abt them

THIS IS A POLY ONESHOT!!! i love them but it’s hard to imagine them with someone else (romantically) so why not both! this post is so long and kind of cringy i’m so sorry besties 😞

warnings/notes: cursing, angst to comfort/fluff, modern au!, college au!, reader, historia, and ymir are 19-20.

you groan and slam your head against your desk, ymir just laughs at you, sitting to your right. the two of you were in your geography class and you felt like your brain was melting.

“it really isn’t that hard,” ymir nudges your ribs with her elbow.

“easy for you to say. you’ve been around the world, i’ve barely left trost,” ymir rolls her eyes as you whine into your arms, “you’re also literally majoring in paleontology. you’ve been into it since you were a kid, like a nerd.”

“i might just punch you for that,” she threatens, “historia was pretty good in geography back in highschool. maybe she can tutor you?”

when ymir said historia’s name, it felt as if you were getting whiplash from how you felt giddy and then felt slightly bitter.

historia has been your best friend ever since the two of you were 17 and met at a bed, bath, and beyond store. she goes to community college, her dad forbade her from university and she only agreed if it she could go. when you gushed about the university you’re currently going to, she immediately started listening and asking what classes you were in.

that’s how she found out you have geography with her girlfriend, and your other best friend, ymir. she started squealing and decided to introduce the two of you.

you both tried to intimidate one another when you first met a year ago, but once historia said something about farting from anxiousness you both bursted into laughter.

that’s how you integrated into their lives. you hang out with the both of them almost everyday, you talk to them everyday, you eat lunch together every thursday, and you three even go see new movies together on saturdays.

within the first four months of befriending the both of them, you felt like as if you were ruining the their alone time. multiple times you had come to hang out with ymir and/or historia only to find out that they were having a date night. even if they invited you to join after, you still felt guilty.

you also felt guilty for feeling jealous and sad whenever they both would show affection for each other. you didn’t know what you were/are jealous of and you don’t know what would make you sad about them being happy.

but you realized what exactly was making you feel that way when ymir and historia started pestering you about your love life. specifically, about a girl named hitch that they think you’d like. and ymir asked you if you’d ever even been in love before. after a few minutes of contemplating, you told her yes.

you love them both. you wanted to be with the both of them.

but you never could be. they don’t love you in the same way as each other. they don’t want to kiss you, hold you, and sleep with you.

and you know that.

“hey doofus, class ended. you comin’?,” ymir’s voice shook you out of your trance.

you look at her and nod, shoveling your stuff into the tote bag you use as your backpack. the two of you are going to meet historia for lunch, you both don’t have classes after 12. thank god.

it’s raining when you two step outside and ymir’s rambling about what restaurant the three of you should go to for lunch as you both walk to her car. you tell her you’re okay with anything as the two of you get in the car, which makes her whip her head towards you and pause after you’ve closed the doors.

“alright, what’s wrong with you,” she asks abruptly.

“what? why are you asking?”

“you’ve been so spacey and quiet lately, you’re hooking up with people, and now you’re okay with eating whatever? you’re a little picky about your food. and you usually never shut up. something is up,” she’s started the car and is no driving out of the parking lot.

“it’s just classes and work. i’m fine. i don’t wanna talk about it,” you shrug and look out the window. you don’t want to look at ymir.

“you’re lying,” she scoffs and shakes her head, “liar.”

you just ignore her and keep staring outside the window.

the rest of the car ride is silent excluding the tame impala song ymir’s playing on the radio. you almost jump for joy whenever the restaurant that historia and ymir must’ve decided on is in view. historia’s standing is sitting on a bench outside of the restaurant, holding an umbrella over her head and a smile shows up on her face when she sees the two of you pulling up. she’s stands up and waits for ymir to park and for you both to get out of the car. it makes your heart flutter a bit. she’s gorgeous.

you almost lunge out of the car whenever the door’s are unlocked, catching the attention from them both. you start fast walking towards the doors of the restaurant, but historia is blocking your path with her arms out wide to give you a hug.

you don’t want to hug her. you don’t want to burst into tears from the hug alone. she’s closing in on you, but you manage to swerve to the left and successfully dodge the hug. you scurry into the restaurant before she can get another chance to hug you. historia and ymir give each other a look of confusion and sadness.

after they exchange a peck on the lips, they follow you into the restaurant. when they get inside, they’re met with the view of you chatting excitedly and bashfully with the hostess, who’s name tag says nifa.

when nifa starts leading you to your table, you spare them a look that says to follow you. while nifa’s leading everyone, you’re both still laughing and blushing. historia and ymir give look at one another, feeling somewhat bitter at seeing this. you hadn’t even said anything to historia and you’ve barely talked to ymir all day.

the couple almost cry out a thank you whenever you’re all seated and nifa leaves.

you start looking at your menu aimlessly. you’ve been here before and you know what you want. but anything to avoid eye contact with ymir and historia, and it makes them sad.

“(name), did you know the hostess? seemed like you two were good friends,” you look up from the menu to see historia leaning towards you while smiling.

“no, i don’t know her. she said i looked familiar and we started talking about if we go to the same university. only to find out that i have a class with her,” you look embarrassed as you start to stare out of the window.

ymir hums in response and the waiter makes his appearance before historia can ask something else. you all decide to order your food at the same time of your drinks—it speeds up the process. when the waiter leaves, the table falls into an uncomfortable silence.

a couple minutes later, you’re scrolling through social media and taking a sip of your drink that was brought to you. you’re debating if you should text the groupchat you’re in with eren, mikasa, and armin. but before you can even make the decision, ymir and historia clap quietly, a signal that the food is here.

even when you’re all eating, the silence is unbearable. you feel like banging your head against a window. you opt to stare outside of it instead.

for some reason, this sets ymir off and she drops her silverware against the plate, the noise startling you and historia.

“alright,” she’s still chewing, “what the fuck is up with you? something’s obviously wrong, and you won’t tell us for whatever fucking reason. you’ve been so distant towards historia and i lately, you’re not even talking to us that much in person, you reject historia’s hug, and you seem so spacey lately!! you’ve also been rejecting our invites to hanging out when it isn’t thursday or saturday. you can’t just act like this and then expect us to not fucking notice the obvious changes. so what the fuck is wrong?”

you struggle to reply, “i’ve just been... stressed with school work and stuff. i’ve got a lot of stuff on my mind. how have i been distant?”

ymir slams her hand onto the table, and that’s when you realize that she’s actually pissed off. she’s pointing her finger at you as she starts raising her voice, attracting attention from other customers.

“you told me that you don’t have much work unless finals or what the fuck ever is coming up and finals end two fucking months ago! you fucking avoided hugging historia, and you’ve known her for years. but you’re so happy to chat with the fucking hostess, who met today. you’re acting like you don’t want to be our friend anymore, and if that’s the case then fucking tell us up front. it’ll save us some pain,” she spits and historia’s slapping her bicep and trying to get her to stop.

your throat feels clogged as your eyes start to tear up. you look petrified.

after a few seconds of you staring absentmindedly, you’re crying. fat tears rolling down your face and dripping onto the table as you bite on your bottom lip to avoid sobbing. you’re eyebrows are drawn upwards and you can’t stop sniffling.

you don’t want to lose them, but you don’t want to tell them. ‘this sucks,’ you think.

both historia and ymir are taken aback at your tears and feel the guilt crawling up their shoulders. you’re not easy to push to tears, it’s how you’re able to be around ymir. whatever’s upsetting you, it must be really stressful.

“(name),” historia speaks softly and puts her hand over your’s, “i’m sorry ymir made you cry. we’re just worried about you, but that doesn’t excuse the way ymir reacted. do you want to talk about it?”

you let out a broken sob as your shoulder shake, “take me home. take me home please.”

“wh—ow!!” ymir is slapped hard by historia.

“are you sure that’s what you want? you know you can tell us anything, right?”

you nod and let out a hiccup. historia frowns but chooses not to say anything and starts digging in her purse for her wallet. she pulls out a fifty and puts it onto the table, pushing ymir gently to get her outside of the booth. you’re getting out of the booth, scrubbing your wet eyes and trying to hide from nifa.

“i’m gonna drive you back to your apartment, okay? ymir, can you get their stuff out of your car,” she gently holds onto your arm while ymir begrudgingly obeys.

you get in the passenger seat of her car, covering your face as you start crying harder. historia’s standing at the front of her car, talking about something with ymir. whatever it is, it’s upsetting the both of them and you can’t help but feel like they’re arguing about you.

they seem to come to a conclusion, seeing as historia gives ymir a kiss on her lips. she’s getting in the driver’s seat, handing over your bag full of textbooks and laptop.

when historia starts the car, her car starts playing a tennis song that makes you smile. she switches it to soft lofi music to help you feel just a bit calmer.

the drive is mostly quiet besides your sobbing and crying. historia’s holding one of your hands in silent support.

she feels guilty and confused. had ymir really upset you that bad? what are you so upset about? is it because of us?

historia loves you dearly; both as a cherished friend and as a lover. it was the same for ymir, but historia had told her that you might defriend them if they confessed. they don’t even know your thoughts on polyamory.

they’d rather keep your friendship then possibly ruining it.

before historia can say a goodbye, you’re slamming the car door and jogging up towards your apartment.

‘this sucks,’ you think again and a loud sob rocks through your body. you’re unlocking the door with shaky hands. you go to swing the door open only for it to bounce back right into your face because the fucking deadlock is on.

you fall onto your ass, fumbling to get onto your feet. out of all the times mikasa, your roommate, wants to have her girlfriend, annie, over, why does it have to be now. you sob as you bang your fist against the front door, yelling for mikasa to let you inside. you’re probably going to get a noise complaint, but you don’t really care.

when there’s no sign of either or mikasa or annie coming to the door, you realize that they must be knocked out. both of them are heavy sleepers and mikasa’s room is furthest from the door, there’s no chance they’re going to wake up.

you slam the door shut and the urge to puke is strong. you’re going to have to go over to historia and ymir’s place. you start crying even harder, starting to tug onto some of the strands of your hair. you sit on the ground against the wall, knees pressed to your chest as your hands cover your eyes again.

this whole day has been shit, starting when you hung out with ymir and historia before your geography class. they were so affectionate with on another and all you could do is watch in want.

you hear the clacking of heels getting closer and you assume it’s historia.

“(name),” it’s historia, “c’mon. i’ll take you back to my house.”

you sniffle and silently get back up onto your feet. your jeans are damp from the rain and the feeling of it sticking to your legs has you cringing. scratch that—your whole body was damp from the rain.

you’ll take a hot shower later, when mikasa isn’t dead asleep along with her girlfriend.

you find out you’re wrong about your previous statement and in 15 minutes, you find yourself undressing in ymir and historia’s bathroom. they told you to get in the shower, shoving a big shirt and underwear you’ve left over at their house into your arms. you know that they’re clean, ymir is forced to do laundry every sunday.

you stand under the shower faucet, silently enjoying the piping hot water falling against your skin. you’re done in a matter of ten minutes, toweling your hair and then brushing it. you gather your wet clothes after you unlock the bathroom door and push it open.

steam rolls out of the room when the door opens and some of it trails behind you as you walk to find ymir. she’s sitting on the couch, munching on a KIND bar and watching the show victorious—it’s her guilty pleasure. she perks up when she sees you though, taking the clothes out of your arms and whisking away towards the washing machine.

you sit down on the couch, slouching lazily. ymir and historia flop down next to you on both sides, little huffs of air falling from their mouths. ymir’s got her arm resting on the couch cushion near your shoulders and historia’s throwing an arm around your waist and snuggling her cheek into your shoulder.

historia opens her mouth, here it comes, “what’s wrong?”

you sigh and throw your head back against ymir’s arm, who just hits her knee against your own.

“i...,” you sigh again, “i can’t tell you.”

ymir rolls her eyes as she lets out a huge huff through her nose. she’s irritated.

“why not? why can’t you tell us? we just wanna help,” her eyebrows furrow when she starts to speak and the hand that isn’t on the couch is motioning to herself and historia.

you start crying again, “you can’t help me with this. and i just can’t tell you.”

historia peeks up at you and her eyebrows are bunched up in concern and confusion.

“why can’t you tell us? please just give us an actual reason, and we’ll back off. all we want to do is help you, so just give us a way that we can. we love you so much, we don’t want to see you upset any longer,” historia’s starting to tear up too, bottom lip sticking out as evidence.

“you guys don’t love me in the same way that i love you,” you sob without thinking, and you reach up to cover your face with your hand. ymir traps it with her own, interlocking her fingers with your’s.

“did... could you repeat that,” historia hiccups, taking ahold of your other hand.

“i love you guys. but not in the same way you love me. i want to kiss you, hold you, and do all that sappy stuff couples do with you guys, but you don’t see me like that,” you look down towards your lap while historia and ymir share a look.

ymir’s lanky hands are grabbing ahold of your cheek’s, thumbs running across your cheekbones then your brow bones. she’s staring at you, a bashful blush on her freckled cheeks.

before you ask what she’s doing, she’s giving you one of the softest kisses you’ve ever had in your entire life. you’re closing your eyes and scrunching up your eyebrows, you don’t want this moment to end.

the two of you stop the kiss when you feel historia climb into your lap, sitting on your thighs. you face towards her, slightly dazed from the amazing kiss you’ve just had with ymir. you briefly wonder if this is what it feels like for historia each time.

historia kisses you too. it’s gentle and a little more persistent as if she were trying to show you that she loves you back. her fingers are tangled with your own, using it to her advantage and gently holding them to the couch cushion.

she pulls away after another second, a light pink spreading across her tear stained face. you’re still dazed, is this real? once you go over everything that’s just happened, you jump.

“oh my god, why’d you two just kiss me?!” you’re freaking out, you’ve just overstepped boundaries, right?!

ymir kisses your cheek and says it bluntly, “we love you too. we’ve wanted to make the relationship a poly for a while... we thought you’d hate us though.”

your jaw drops and you whip your head towards ymir, “HUH?”

“we love you,” historia giggles, she’s rubbing her cheek against your chest now.

“oh.. okay. are you sure?” you hum, a huge and dorky smile coming up on your face after they both nod.

“you look stupid,” ymir snorts, “now can we watch victorious and snuggle?”

“before we do that, why did you try hooking me up with hitch,” you ask with a slight scowl.

“we thought it might help us get over you, but it didn’t work for a lot of reasons. you and hitch are good as friends, but not romance; at least that’s what you told us. and if anything, it just made us jealous and sad,” historia explains, tracing patterns with her finger into your stomach.

“that makes sense, i’m ready to watch victorious,” you pause, “wait, when are you taking me home?” ymir and historia stare at you blankly.

“you’re not going home.”

I HAD THE BEST BYLER DREAM LAST NIGHT AND I REALLY WANNA SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL

it's so long (literally 2k words) so im gonna put it under the cut haha <3

so basically this would take place after mike and will start dating or something, idk exactly the time frame (i picture them being like 18 or something and this is the summer before college) and will goes to this summer arts program for like 2/3 months (i dunno how long american summer is but something like that) and its all the way far from home so there is dorms and stuff and he's "not in hawkins anymore" (no pun intended)

mike and will decide after will finishes his school they'd go to college together (cuz they're gonna be comic book artists together bc thats boyfriend shit) so throughout these months he's practically just waiting for will (<333333)

so one specific scene i remember from my dream involved will and mike getting off the bus to the school and then they hug and then mike grabs wills hand and brings him behind the bus and then he gives will a biggg kiss bc he won't be able to kiss him for 3 months. then they say they love each other and will gives him another quick kiss and is like "two kisses". they agree they'd call each other every day.

so will goes inside and mike goes back on the bus and goes home.

and basically the whole day is a whirl, until the end of it, in which mike is sitting in the kitchen near the phone waiting for like 3 hours for will to call, and will doesn't end up calling.

AND THEN IT GETS SPICYYYYY

so meanwhile at the arts program will asks like the front desk or something if he can call mike and they say phone is offlimits and they don't let him call mike

so then will goes to sleep and he's paranoid that he thinks mike is gonna hate him or something like that

mk than the next day in class there is this girl (they didn't reveal her name in the dream, ill call her stella) so stella is basically looking at will the entire class but will doesn't know it

so when they exit the class stella's like "hi" and will says "hi"

then stella says "i like your painting."

will is like rlly weirded out so he goes "thanks?"

"i um- hope this doesn't sound weird but i have no friends, do you want to be mine?"

"sure"

and then end of scene (this does not sound like a normal conversation but it's my dream so it doesn't have to make sense"

so BACK AT HAWKINS mike is still sleeping even tho it's like 3 pm because yk depressed boyfriend shit but then the PHONE RINGS and mike gets out of bed frantically and goes to the phone and he picks it up and is like "will?" and then it answers "it's el, idiot"

i feel like this is important for context but el speaks english very well now and hoppers back and she lives with hopper and not the byers anymore. ANYWAYS

el says "how's will?"

mike says "idk he didn't call"

"he didn't?"

"no, he didn't"

"okay. well maybe he will call later"

"yeah mb"

"wanna come over"

"ok"

so mike hangs up and gets changed and goes to el's house bc they r a couple o' besties and when he gets there it's like a therapy sessions bc mike usally talks to will every single day and he can't for like 3 months (unless will calls, but he's not going to) so he accepts he's gonna be depressed for 3 months and he's just talking to el about how he's gonna miss him so much and no be able to see his face and that shit

so el's like "well do u wanna do something to take ur mind off of him"

and mike's like "no im not gonna replace will" (I SCREAMED IN MY DREAM SRSLY)

but than el says "okay. guess im gonna go to the mall by myself" (ig starcourt is rebuilt by now)

and than mike bolts up and is like "fine"

"we can by something for will"

"okay yay"

so then they go to starcourt yasss!!

anyways back at the art school will is having lunch and stella is with he friends (even tho she said she doesn't have any friends) and one of her friends is like "omg did you see _____ he's so hot"

and another friend says "YESS! but ____ is cuter"

"what abt u stella? who do u have ur eyes on"

she says "byers" BUT NOOOOOOO WILL IS MIKES MAN

and they say "ew that kid who came back to life"

she says "yea. but he's cute, and shy, and once i wrap them around my finger i can get them to do anything"

so then she goes to sit down next to will at lunch

"hi will"

"hi"

"hru"

"im good"

"okay. good." and she gets upset because will goes ask how she is but she keeps her urging rage inside. and than they have this weird conversation and will is uncomfortable the whole time bc shes all like flirting with him and will is seeing someone obvi

but then she puts a hand on will's shoulder and he's shaking and then says something (idk what it is it wasn't explaining in my dream) then will stands up and runs to the bathroom. so he's just sitting in the stalls crying.

okay back at starcourt this part wasn't shown in my dream but im just gonna make up that mike and el go looking around starcourt for something for will (sort of like the mike/lucas/will montage where they were looking for stuff for el) and then i guess they find something for will and i don't have the slightest idea what they could have got for him BUT THEY GOT HIM SOMETHING GOOD

so mike's all happy but they'res still that depression inside of him lol

so fast forward a week, it really isn't explained but ill just make up that will still hasn't called mike, and he's super sad and all sleeping in but decides to look through his good ol binder full of will's drawings and in the arts school will and stella have a few more interactions im sure which are still very uncomfortable

okay so it's lunch again in the cafeteria and somehow will and stella are talking again but somehow it ends in stella kissing will and will like pulls away immediatley and is like "what is wrong with you!?"

and she says "what?"

"i'm seeing someone!"

"oh i uh- i didn't know."

the whole cafeteria is staring at them

so will's freaking out almost on the verge of a panic attack "idk what to do, he's gonna hate me and-"

"he?"

will has the look on his face like shit shit shit oh fuck no

"you're gay?"

"i-"

and will runs off once again. and everyone in the whole cafeteria knows that he's day and ofc with everybody being homophobic will knows it's not good at all bc everyone's gonna bully him

so then the next day he goes to class and the teacher is like "does anyone care to tell me where ___ is?" (it would be like a math question like 'where x is' but in art idkkk) and then the teacher calls on "will? can you tell me where ___ is?" and they'res a pause and then the teacher says "or perhaps you'd want to find your boyfriend instead?" (giving me anne with an e vibes prolly cuz i did a rewatch last weekend but i won't explain more in case some people haven't watched it but) anyways will stands up from his seat, everyone is looking at him, and he's shaking and so concerned but then he goes "fuck. you" badass will yeaaaa thats my boy

so then he runs out of the classroom and out of the school in a really cool montage way but then he realizes he's like 2 hours away from home but he runs and runs and he goes to a random bustop (it's not even garanteed if it takes him to hawkins but whatever) he gets on and tries to go back to hawkins.

and soon enough, he gets there, and immediatley goes to the wheelers because he needs to see mike and apologize for everything. so he's at the wheelers, and rings the doorbell, realizing he's still in his uniform lol but karen answers and mike is upstairs in his room sulking (i picture it would be 8 pm by now) so will asks for mike and karen calls mike. mike groans obviously because he doesn't know it's his boy, but he comes down, karen gets out of the way and as soon as he sees will they have a really big hug and it's super sweet and my heart UFHEIOSKA

mike says his usual "are you okay?" and mike is still confused as shit but will says "i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry" and mike says "you don't have to be sorry for anyrhing" but will says "ill explain"

so then they go to will's room, side-by-side on his bed and will starts explaining everything

(this is mostly improvised by me but it's still pretty similar to the dream)

"i hated it."

"the school?"

"yeah. there was no you, (mike blushes lmao), everything was terrible, i felt so lonely, they didn't let me call you-"

"what?"

"they said the phone was off limits. i wanted to talk to you so bad and i thought you'd hate me"

"i could never hate you, will, even if i tried." will smiles

"and then there was this girl, and she hit on me and i didn't know what to do bc i'd be the face of the school if i told her i was dating you and was gay and today she kissed me"

"WHAT"

"im sorry im sorry i didn't kiss back and i was so scared bc i never was in a relationship before and i was so scared it was considered cheating-"

and mike LAUGHSS

"what? mike? what's wrong?"

"if you don't do anything back, it's not considerd 'cheating'"

"oh. good. are you mad at me?"

"what? no! no never!" so mike opens his arms and says "come here" so will and mike hug or something like that and then mike says "do you need me to beat her up?"

and will says "you can't even beat eggs. besides, your noodle arms wouldn't be able to do harm to even a fly"

so mike laughs and says "i'm glad your home"

so will blurts "i cursed out a teacher"

"you? cursing?"

"yes."

"might have to start calling you a bad boy now"

will just smiles and says "i love you"

and mike says "i love you too"

AND THEN END AND IM SO PROUD OF MYSELF BC I LOVE THIS DREAM LIKE I CAN'T BELIEVE MY BRAIN THOUGHT OF THIS BUT IM OBSESSED

ALSO ONCE I FINISH WYBMFFAE ILL PROBABLY WRITE THIS INTO A FULL BLOWN FIC BUT AHIHFUSAH

edit: i have no idea what mike did with the present him and el bought for will but i guess they ended up giving it to him lol

Misjudgment

Summary: can you do a losers club x reader where the losers save the reader from the bowers gang so they invite her to the losers club, except stan doesn’t trust her bc he’s stan. so then the reader confronts him abt it and then they become friends?

Being the new kid in any new school is difficult a label designed and slapped on your forehead to follow you around and attrack attention because of it. Derry middle school was no exception, and in fact, to you knowledge, was even worse than any other school you had ever been too. Your parents switched jobs a lot, and with that came moving around heaps of times too, so being the new kid wasn’t a state-of-the art experience for you. 

It still sucked, walking into a school, your peers huddled together in group while you, the loner, picked at your fingernails to appear busy and to not get caught staring longingly as two friends giggled and talked about their crushes to one another.

The first time you spotted Bill, leader of the infamous loser club you would soon become a part of, was the same day you first witnessed Henry’s psychotic behavior, plundering Bill’s book bag and lighting it on fire mere inches away from the poor kids face. You had stomped over, snatching the bag out of Henry’s hands, the books were mostly destroyed and missing, and handed it back to the boy who scrambled up.

‘You better stay the fuck away from me you fucking hoer. You must either have a Deathwish or want to date B-b-billy,’ he mocked,’ enough that you don’t care who you piss of, and that mistake, can be deadly here in my town.’

Bill thanked you, asked for your name and invited you to join in on a birdwatching retreat him and his friend were going on, but you declined. The altercation left you rattled and spooked, and you didn’t know Bill or any of his friends, all strangers in a town of even more strangers, and went back home.

That decision had both negative and positive outcomes attached to it. Bowers awaited you along with his goons, emptying a slushie on your head and spitting in your face and hair, humiliating you to the best of their abilities. At one point, they tried to glue a freshly bought pad to your skirt, their tyranny halted as Bill and his followers threatened to call the police on them.

‘That’s what being brave will get you in this town’, Mike said, staring the bowers gang off as they .

‘Yeah, but luckily there’s strength in numbers.’

‘Yup, welcome to the losers club new kid. Ben, you’ve been kicked off the nickname ‘new kid’, I need to find you a new one.’ Richie pondered, tapping his fingers to his chin as he came up with a new nickname for Ben.

Persuading Richie into giving him a different derogatory name was enough for Ben to accept you with open arms in the group, as did almost everyone else, and you gained six new friends, a huge upgrade from the zero friends you had prior to them. The hospitality showed, and you were never forced to eat lunch or walk to class by yourself any longer.

The losers club consisted of seven people, but to your parents you vowed that there we’re only six friends you engaged with, because the seventh member, Stanley, was not your friend. At most, the two of you were acquaintances, people that hung out because of mutual friends.

He never liked you or made an effort to befriend you, his cold demeaner deterring and dynamite to your time dedicated to the losers. Not once did he address you personally, and if someone inquired a question and you would go to respond, Stanley would talk over you, like you were never there in the first place. The whole situation, that you had no inkling on how you ended up in the first place, put a damper on the blossoming friendship, and you often found yourself nail-biting tense, on the lookout for the day the other losers would be tired of the tense underlying issues themselves and kick you to the curb.  

This unease pushed you to confront Stanley about his behavior towards you, as you did not want to end up alone again, and you adored the friends you had made in the losers club too much to let go without a fight.

The opportunity to do this arose one day after school, when only Eddie and Richie, both lounging in the hammock, and Stanley and you are around in the clubhouse. You’re sketching in the a notebook, the one you and Bill share, to compare  various techniques and color schemes, and also because it’s fun and interesting to observe what someone else is crafting.

No one besides Bill and you know of its existence, but it’s not strictly a secret, it’s more of a - none of the others care so why tell them-? You’re seated in the stack of cushions, plumped up by Eddie, in order to protect ones ass against blisters, since that’s thing apparently, and Stanley is fully emerged in a book, as far away from you as the small, incepted space allows.

The drawing is coming along pretty well, the sketch portraying the clubhouse itself and it’s inhabitants, and you’re focusing on measuring the length between the hatchet and the far wall, when Stanley spots the book in your lap.

‘That’s Bill’s,’ he snidest, crossing the room in no time to protectively grab it and cage it in his arms.

‘I know that’, you secure, reaching for the book but too short to actually clasp it. ‘I borrow it from him.’

Stanley stares you down with a level headed look, ‘Oh, really?’ He says so sarcastically you urge to rip out his tongue and render him silent.

‘Yes really. What’s the problem with that Stanley?’

‘Stan the man, chill out’, Richie laughs on edge, squirming in his place as he and Eddie watch the situation unfold.

‘No fuck that. What the fuck did I do to get you to hate me so much?’

‘You know what you did.’

‘Enlighten me, fucking please Stanley.’  The hostility swarming around the two of you is palpable, and it’s containing to build to a crescendo neither are prepared for. His admission could potentially dissolve the undercover threat, a way for you to explain or fix the thing you display that Stanley contempt. But that can only be done if the thing gets pointed out, which so far, it hasn’t.  

‘You are conspiring with Bowers and Patrick, I am onto you.’

‘Excuse me?’

‘Just admit it.’

‘Okay, I fucking admit I’m colluding with the same douchebags that tried to defoule me. You got me there Stanley’, you’re seething, rage vibrating in every pore. Richie and Eddie attempt to deflate the situations, but glares from Stanley and you dispirited their focus.

‘Stan, come on,’ Eddie pacifies, ‘why would she do that?’

‘Is it not it convenient that she just so happened to be at the same time and place as Bill is getting beat up? And that she gets attacked right after but somehow escaped any physical damage? Who knows what secrets she’s been tattling?’

‘Well I’m sorry, let me go to them and ask if they would be so kind to punch me in the face’, your voice got more and more hysterical with every word, and you bend down your knees making eye contact with Stanley as you mock him.

‘Stan Urine, This isn’t ‘The Soldier’, they’re no such thing as spies, although Miss K in a spy suit is the fantasy to have for all my wet dreams.’ Richie vulgar joke goes by unnoticed, you and Stan involved in a staring match. You’re the one that breaks eye contact, huffing as you slide on your heels and move to leave.

‘Fine, whatever, I pick up on when I’m not wanted.’

‘No wait. Y/N, don’t go.’  

‘Stan the man gets prickly around the time his period is due, chalk it up to that.’

‘Shut the fuck up Richie no I don’t.’

You force the handle up, resting it a bit above your head and pause, sighing. ‘I’m not conspiring with Bowers, I just wanted to make friends.’ The latch gravitates to the floor after you’ve climbed out, and with it a chapter of your life, now it’s back to being friendless.

Four steps away from the clubhouse, the latch opens again and out tumbles Stan, meticulously lifting himself up by the piece of hardwood that is unscathed with dirt from the ground, and sprints to catch up with you.

‘I am sorry’, he says, flabbergasting you. ‘I should have been more open and accepting, and not my judgmental, evil self. I am not myself if I haven’t eaten a snicker and I apologize,’ Stan rolls his eyes.

‘Those lines were fed to you by Richie’, you state matter of fact, a smile tugging up your lips in spite of your earlier mood set.

‘No they weren’t’, elevates from below ground, conforming your suspicions.

‘Okay, yeah partly. But I do need to apologize. Being so antagonistic was wrong and unnecessary. Can we start over?’

‘I mean, give me back my notes and we’ll make a deal out of it?’

‘Of course.’

i discuss the classification of igneous petrology as you fall asleep during my lecture (PART 1) (ASMR)

Childe/Zhongli, Alternate Universe (read part 2 here) When Childe's younger sister tells him about the volunteer at the library, he does not make the connection between that and his new favorite ASMR YouTuber, Rex Lapis.

Childe has a very effective method of getting through college. His little sister, who’s caught him making coffee at three in the morning on more than one occasion the past week alone, would beg to differ. 

“You’re the best older brother,” she starts off, and he’s sure she’s trying to convince herself more than him at this point, “but you need to fix your sleeping habits.” Then, because she’s his little sister, she’d flash him a smile and pat his shoulder reassuringly.

(The comment is not lost on him though. He understands his sleeping situation will eventually wear him down if it hadn’t already, but he believes if he’ll drink a coffee every morning and a Monster every night, he’ll get through three days. By the third day, he’ll hardly be coherent but that doesn’t matter because he’ll conk out for the next twelve hours and then repeat.)

“Don’t worry, Tonia,” he says, trying to sound as reassuring as possible as he contemplates whether it’s worth it or not to swallow a pill of 5-hour energy with his morning coffee. “Once break ends, I’ll get back to normal.”

“You said that six seasons ago.”

Childe frowns, trying to remember if his sleeping schedule was this dysfunctional last year. “Huh?”

“The Walking Dead seasons,” Tonia clarifies, as if she’s not twelve years old and the show is for grown adults. He thinks. He hasn’t checked Commonsensemedia ever since La Signora labeled him as a “helicopter parent” and his Netflix tab has been playing How to Get Away with Murder as background noise for the past few weeks.

Isn’t it a show about zombies though? Tonia’s sheepish smile tells it all, because it’s the same exact guilty look he had when he got caught red-handed as a kid.

(Once he remembers later, Childe promises himself, he’ll check out The Walking Dead.)

“Oh. Well. I have a lot of shows to catch up on, you know. Not to mention a ton of my professors gave me reading for over the break.”

A half lie. They did give him a lot of reading because each professor assumed that their classes were his only one, and with seven days left, he still has a textbook worth of reading to go through. But there are no shows that Childe would sacrifice his precious sleep for. As a matter of fact, he would love to sleep. He’s spent the majority of his classes back in high school sleeping and faking attention, saving his grade at the last minute — it was quite the extreme sport really, if he says so himself.

Whenever he tries to sleep recently, his thoughts run at several hundred miles per hour, and he spends several hours staring at the ceiling before succumbing to the computer at his desk and watching trashy movies. At this point, he must have gone through the entire romance comedy list on Netflix. (Not a proud point in his life but if anybody ever wanted him to give a list of best to worst romance comedy movies, he now has one.)

Tonia, on the other hand, isn’t incredibly convinced.

Admittedly, the excuse was lame. Also, he can’t easily lie to his little sister, who’s far shrewder than he takes her for at times.

“You never start your reading in advance. You like to speed read it right before your class or watch a five-minute video on the chapters while your teachers take attendance. But that’s… uh, ‘a bad work ethic.’” Tonia looks immensely proud of herself as she says this, finishing it off with, “Zhongli told me that.”

“Zhongli?” he repeats, trying to remember if that’s one of her classmates or some stranger that’s hoping to kidnap his sister.

“The guy that volunteers at the library sometimes. He recommended me a loot of good books to read, but he talks like an old man.”

“How old?” Childe can tell she’s enjoying this — talking about her new friend at the library that he’ll probably have to run a background check on.

“Like he’s in his sixties or something. But he looks… actually, he looks your age! And he’s a student too. I told him all about you.”

Well, that doesn’t sound very reassuring coming from the mouth of a twelve-year-old. He’s not sure if that translates to his social security number, his current dilemma, or just that he’s her older brother.

“Like all of the stories you told me when I was a kid. And then when Lumine came to pick me up, she stayed to show him pictures of you too.”

“Of course she did,” he mumbles, ruffling her hair. One of these days he’s going to move without telling his classmates and the twins won’t enter his apartment unannounced. (But Tonia adores their company and the stories they tell her far too much for him to actually do it. But that doesn’t mean he’s above making threats when they tell his little sister about the bet he made about white-out and how it could dye hair. The jury is still out on this one.) “She’s just mad because I get away with it and she doesn’t. But don’t do it yourself. It’s a bad habit,” he adds, remembering that he should at least try to be a good influence on his younger sister when he can.

“Okaaay,” she says unconvincingly, before shaking her hair and running off to her room with lunch he prepared for her.

Watching her close the door and no doubt continue her binge of The Walking Dead, he takes out his phone and texts Lumine.

 Childe

 Twin 1

12:50

have fun i need to convince aether to not commit arson bc of his TA

 Childe

12:51

hope he does it

He opens his Youtube app, typing in Rex Lapis and expecting Lumine’s suggestion to be a joke. Despite them being friends for nearly two years now, she’s never made any indication of knowing his type. And he’s sure he’s never been that vocal about it either, only shooting appreciative looks at history majors and paying more attention than necessary to the TA for ‘Tradition of Justice and Law.’ (It’s unfortunate that those short-term crushes never led to anything, but maybe that’s for the better seeing that Childe has never understood the appeal of relationships.)

It is an ASMR channel, judging by the ASMR playlist he finds as he scrolls through the account. The icon shows no face — only a microphone — which leaves him skeptical. Most of the video titles belong in a petrology lecture as well, which makes him even more convinced that it’s a joke. He finds a few readings of ancient literature and decides to pick ‘I discuss the classification of igneous petrology as you fall asleep during my lecture (PART 1) (ASMR)’ because that’s exactly what he needs. (Not the very moment — but ten hours later when he’s in the bed memorizing the pattern of his ceiling wondering why he stole from his fifth grade teacher’s candy jar during lunch.)

When Childe opens the video, he damn near gasps.

The man in the video is exactly his type. His eyes are a soft amber color, framed with long lashes, and it’s almost enough for him to lose his dignity and message Lumine a long thank you text about how she is always right and he’ll pay for her coffee for the following week.  He smiles at the screen, albeit a little sheepishly, dark hair framing his face with a long ponytail that Childe can’t see the end of. On his right ear, there are a pair of earrings with a single feather that brush against his neck when he moves his head.

Even before he speaks, Childe is mesmerized, sure he’ll already memorize his features from the curve of his nose to the way he tilts his head, displaying the expanse of his neck.

Really — he reminds him of actors in historical dramas, the way he sits regally, and how he speaks. His voice is low and slow as he adopts a careful manner of speaking, leaning into the mic.

“I’m Rex Lapis, and I’ll be discussing igneous petrology today, which is part one in a three-part petrology series. I apologize in advance, seeing that my knowledge is limited compared to many petrologists out there but my friend Venti said that many of my viewers are here for my voice, so I’m very excited to start today’s video.”

Holy shit.

For the following week, Childe learns less about petrology, the philosophy of economics, and historical revisionism concerning matters of war and more about Rex Lapis, who is not in love with his voice but often finds himself in the middle of long tangents without explanations. His favorite book series is the Legend of the Lone Sword, which he says he’ll look forward to reading out loud for the channel. (Childe replays that part of the video again and again, captivated by his excitement as he mindlessly taps the mic while he speaks, his tangent cutting off mid-word — as it usually does, much to his dismay.)

His guilty obsession is not lost on Tonia, who realizes that instead of drinking Monster every night he’s been engrossed in his phone completely, often not noticing her or when the water starts bubbling. But because his sleeping schedule has been alleviated, she says nothing until Lumine comes over as she always does, not forgetting their weekly schedule of watching trashy movies while leeching off of Childe’s food.

Because he doesn’t trust the twins with the kitchen — even if they can cook — she instead spends her time sitting next to Tonia and spreading more of her anti-Childe propaganda while they wait. This usually involves Tonia occasionally calling out Childe’s name and asking, “Is that true?” or “Did you really do that?”

This time is different though.

Worried that Lumine finally decided to show Tonia a video of last semester’s presentation, he leans over, looking at the computer screen.

And he’s wrong. Unfortunately. Maybe it should’ve been his presentation because even if he botched it and accidentally projected his work process — screaming notes and all — to the class instead of his actual presentation, it would’ve been better than the two of them watching one of Rex Lapis’ videos together.

The ‘I read Erosion: Essays of Undoing to you as it rains outside’ video, to be specific, which is where Rex Lapis is embarrassed by Venti mid video when asked if this was his idea of a date with a lover. (And then it ends with Rex Lapis asking for video suggestions from the commentors, his face still flushed from the previous comments.)

Oh God — oh fuck.

“So he is your type,” Lumine says, her expression a bit too smug for his liking. Tonia looks half awake, scrolling through articles as the video plays, more interested in ‘Top 10 Glenn Rhee Moments’ than Childe’s crush. Her expression is a bit guilty as she does so — she’s biting her lip and avoiding his gaze, but he assumes that it’s just because they went through his YouTube history.

“I can neither confirm nor deny that statement,” he retorts, but the YouTube history she pulls up once Tonia hands the computer over to her says it all. (It’s quite mortifying, really — even Tonia is giving him a look, but it’s not as bad as Lumine’s shit eating grin.)

“Well… he does have a nice voice,” Childe finally says, thinking that perfectly encompasses his most recent obsession. Because he does have a nice voice — it’s soothing and speaks to him without really speaking to him directly. (The good looks are a bonus, he assures himself. A fantastic bonus, but a bonus nonetheless.)

“He does,” Tonia confirms, smiling toothily up at him, and he resists the urge to ruffle her hair with Lumine staring at him so skeptically. “But I don’t understand much of what he’s saying. He — heh — talks like an old man.”

“Don’t worry, Tonia, your brother likes him because he’s attractive,” Lumine informs her, now fast forwarding on one of Rex Lapis’ videos. “Did you know that he lives nearby?”

“Huh?”

The knife he’s holding clatters to the floor, and the two look down and back up at him with— hold on, why does it feel like they’re in on a secret he doesn’t know about?

“Yeah, he’s working on his grad thesis I think… Aether told me it was about something on history,” she muses. “That’s why I recommended his channel to you. He’s a bit of a celebrity in his department.” Childe’s sure his jaw dropped now, trying to maintain his facial expression as he takes out a new knife to chop up the onions.

“Really,” he tries to say as calmly as possible, wondering how he should accompany Aether to his lectures without trying to seem as obvious as possible. His voice is a bit shaky he realizes but he can’t quite make the connection between Rex Lapis and actual graduate student that goes to his university.

“Yeah, actually…” Lumine is definitely pretending to think now, enjoying this far too much. “He—”

“It’s Zhongli!” his little sister yells excitedly, practically jumping up and down at this point as if she won the lottery. “Zhongli runs an ASMR channel and he talks just like that in real life! Right, Lumine?”

“Yeah.”

Childe sighs, holding a hand up to his face. The realization that he’s been obsessed with the same guy that hears about every stupid thing he did secondhand is way too much — and the fact that he’s been listening to his voice every night before he went to bed the past week is way too much. He’s sure his face is redder than before judging by the amused expressions on Lumine’s and Tonia’s faces — really, they’re mirror images of each other right now.

Not for the first time, Childe swears to himself that he’ll never let her into his apartment without signing a contract ever again.

Star Tear AU - Alt. Timeline: Todoroki ver. [Part 1]

This is an AU I wrote on the todomomo discord server eons ago. Anything posted to this blog will be transcripts of old original work and not really edited, save for formatting. I have no guarantees if I will ever finish these AUs either so these will only be kept as an archive.

Original transcript posted to tdmm discord: Aug 2020

Momo ver. Alternate timeline: Todo ver. Part 1 || Todo ver. Part 2 || Todo ver. Part 3

Star tears in which Todoroki falls for Momo first.

shortly after the exam with Aizawa he doesn’t know what he’s feeling but just admires her strength and quick thinking

and him hanging out with Deku and Iida at lunch means Todo hears all the nice and good things Momo does when she and Iida to discuss class prez stuff

which intensifies this ??admiration?? and respect more

and he just?? Holds onto those feelings unable to figure out what they are until idk maybe holidays where 1A and 1B throw that holiday hotpot party

and Momos really cute lookin’ in that Santa hat she made with the festive turtleneck

and so that feeling inside Todo grows into something more??? bc "oh shit she cute".... and Todo’s blushing while looking at her from afar. Probably.

so Todo talks to Fuyumi abt it and Fuyumi’s like: “I think you like her Shouto”

and he writes to his mom abt it and Rei's like: “she sounds like a lovely girl Shouto”

and he texts Natsuo abt it and Natsu's like: “aw little bro has a crush”

but all the while this is happening, Momo's gotten closer with Iida over class prez stuff and hero stuff and everyone in 1A (read: mina and hagakure) think iimomo might be a thing???

ofc Momo denies it and making excuses politely like "no no ofc not we're being responsible class prez and vice prez" but she’s kinda stuttery while doing so, so no one buys it

and no ones brave enough to ask Iida except Ochako but he gives some straight laced answer like "i admire her work ethic and respect her as a hero and vice prez" but he also has some tint of blush across his cheeks

so idk fast forward to graduation where Todo's been holding onto these feelings for Momo since first year and iimomo is still very very likely

so its all cherry blossom petals flying around and congratulatory celebrations

and when Todo sees Momo amongst the sakura trees smiling like he's never seen before (bc they're finally officially heroes!!) he thinks she’s beautiful

but just as he's about to approach her, Iida approaches her and Todo can see she's blushing and he knows its really not good to eavesdrop on one of his best friends and the girl he likes

But... he's curious.

or so he lies to himself.

Ofc what he hears isnt what he ever wants to,,,,

cuz Iida just confessed to her.

and she feels the same.

and a star tear slips from Todo's eye as he walks away.

he stops mid step as he touches his cheek bc he didnt even realize he was crying

but what are these tears??? What’s happening?? He's never had these before bc even though Todo is an emotional crier, he doesn’t cry that often.. only when he is completely overwhelmed with emotion

so he has this dumbfounded expression staring at his fingers as these star tears are twinkling out of his eyes catching sunlight and sakura petals

until he hears "Youre a fucking idiot" from a few steps away

Bakugou. 

(Baku really likes eavesdropping ok its not the first time lol)

Baku: theyre called star tears.

Todo: You know what these are?

Baku: it happens when you like someone and that person doesnt like you back, idiot.

Todo: ... oh.

Baku: get that shit sorted or you'll go blind

(And for those who are curious, yes maaaayyybe Bakugou has a case of the stars in this timeline too, that’s how he knows. To whom? I'll let you decide bc honestly, I just want todobaku brotp bonding over unrequited love)

so now Todo thinks he might be fucked. One of his best friends confessed to the girl he likes too and she likes him back and now Todo has this disease that might make him go blind and might get in the way of heroing (which they've all secured post graduation positions by now) and what can he do about it?

nothing, says the doctor he sees. The disease is not curable and the only way to stop it is to have your feelings returned else you'll go colour blind and then completely blind, so he's told.

ya he's really fucked.

maybe its a good thing then, that he doesnt cry often. It makes it easier to ice over these feelings, freeze them in time with the memories of U.A.; of his last congratulations to her and her smile at the end of the ceremony an hour after he overheard that confession

maybe its another good thing that right after graduation, everyone went off to their own positions as side kicks with agencies across japan, focusing on heroing

but its 3 months after graduation that Iida tells Deku and Todoroki that he is seeing Momo when they meet up every Friday to catch up

its 6 months after graduation that its publicly announced in Hero Magazine that Ingenium and Creati are dating

its 9 months after graduation that he sees Iida and Momo attending the Hero Association's rising stars gala as a couple and are seated at the same table as them

(Bakugou is scowling at him across the table.)

Todo tries. He really does. To be happy for them.

but he's angry at himself that he can't be happy for them. That it saddens him to see Momo glowing under the ballroom lights but its not himself to make her shine like that, its Iida. That he sees she is the one to make Iida genuinely happy in the way his eyes light up when he smiles at her.

and all three times Todo goes home, lies down alone in his room, an arm slung across his forehead as the star tears leak from his eyes.

he starts to lose seeing colour at 12 months.

after 24 months he needs glasses for colour correction (and ironically gets a sponsorship with the brand. The fashion magazines print headlines for weeks "Hot-Cold Hero Shouto Fall Fashion! See page 7 spread for his newest spotted specks and turtle necks")

at 36 months Iida breaks the news. Iida's gonna propose to Yaoyorozu and wants him, Deku, and his brother to be his groomsmen

she said yes.

and a part of Todo washes away with the star tears flooding him room and twinkling against the tatami.

he tries to stay out of the wedding planning as much as possible. He'll go to the tuxedo fittings as requested and still keep up hearing the updates when seeing Iida and Deku for their weekly get together on Friday nights. 

But for anything involving Momo's presence, there will always be a "sorry i have a mission that week", "sorry im visiting my mom", "sorry Endeavor needs to see me about the agency"

... all excuses Bakugou knows, but the others pay no mind. They are rising heroes near the top of the billboard by now

month 48. Wedding day.

she's stunning. Gorgeous. A near goddess walking down the aisle on her big day.

but she's not walking down for him. No its for iida.

there was the ceremony, the cheers, the congratulations, the reception. Fairy lights around the dance floor and along the walls, champagne glittering after the sound of a cork

Todoroki stands off to against the wall as the night dies down, a glass in hand, watching the newly weds grace the dance floor.

someone slides up beside him, he feels the presence. Bakugou.

"She's beautiful isnt she?"

"Yeah."

. . .

a star tear falls from Todoroki's eyes, twinkle hidden among the fairy lights and champagne glitter.

she's beautiful, but maybe its a good thing I can't see

somebody said: what if she knows everything that had happened and the reason why he couldn't continue his career is bc of her?

me: ok you’re asking for it

Momo, 3 months pregnant with iimomo baby, announces with Iida the news to their friends

the soon to be parents want to choose godparents for the baby so Iida gets to choose the baby’s godmother and Momo gets to choose the godfather

and ofc along with the announcement Momo asks Todoroki to be the kid’s godfather

he can’t say no to her.

the same week later Todo and Momo's agencies are requested to deal with this one villain case while Ingenium's agency deals with another in another town (later turns out the cases were connected)

small talk, civil, very professional between Momo and Todo when they’re in the debriefing

at this point Todo's pretty much completely blind and uses some special contact lenses from Hatsume to help "see"

but the contact lenses can only do so much as to detect light movement and shadows and it reallllllllly doesnt work well when he's using his fire 

so Todo already had tossed around the idea of running away to the mountains like Roy did in the FMA 2003 ending, "mysteriously" retiring bc really his vision cannot keep up

until this last mission with Momo

and really its been nearly a decade now since they last worked together side by side (not since U.A. he thinks).. so just let the blind man be selfish one last time

and so smth smth missiom happens, Todo and Momo fighting side by side

but Momo senses there’s something off with Todo's movements? His reflexes are slower.. it doesnt seem like he's prediciting the opponents moves like he used to.. he's more so reacting and retaliating than attacking..

she chalks it up to that they havent fought side by side in a long time and his style must’ve changed and really, she doesnt know him anymore... not like she used to

smth smth 3 months pregnant Momo gets hurt, knocked unconscious for a bit

Todo saves her

and when she comes to, while Todo's holding her, star tears fall onto her cheek from Todo's eyes. 

She's shocked. Reaches up to gently graze a finger tip at his left cheek.

"Todoroki-san, these are?"

and again its like Todo didnt realize he was crying. He jerks away from her hand and brushes her off with "its nothing”. Changes the subject with "are you ok?"

Momo: yes.. i think so

Todo: and the baby?

Momo, sitting up: we're ok I think

Todo, moving away: good

the mission concludes and they meet up with Ingenium’s group to wrap up the two ends. Todo slips away before Iida and Momo and approach him

theres no activity from Todoroki for the next month

neither Iida, Deku or anyone else in 1A know where he went except the Hero Association's vague comment on "Hot Cold Hero Shouto has taken a sudden indefinite hiatus"

(Only Todo’s family knows and Endeavor asked the Association to say "hiatus" instead of "retirement" bc Enji wants to believe in his son making a comeback. He didnt stop Shouto from taking off)

and ofc Momo upon hearing this is so confused??? Her last mission with him was the last time she saw him and he was crying. Why was he crying? Strange star tears twinkling and landing on her cheeks? What even is that phenomenon?

its too many questions and ofc Momo's gonna investigate. For the sake of her friend.

so she digs up all the texts she can find on star tears. Internet search all the possibilities. Consults the doctors at the hospital. Even asks Tenya if Todoroki has been acting strangely during their weekly catch ups.

but Tenya tells her Todoroki hasnt been the the meet ups since after their wedding

so she asks anyone in their pro hero circle of associates she can think of. Tsukiyomi, Burnin', heros from his agency, anyone she can think of that has worked with Todoroki before and could comment on his behaviour

no body knows. No body noticed anything different either. Sure there were some off days but the Hot Cold Hero Shouto was always on his game being one of the top 3 heroes on the billboard charts

she searches and searches, splitting time interviewing colleagues and researching the possible star tears phenomenon

until eventually her search takes her to...

Bakugou.

Of course.

Momo, pleading: please Bakugou, you know something about him dont you?

Bakugou, who at this point had been very careful trying not to get cornered knowing her investigation: save it pony tail, you’re about to have a baby. Go have people harass you about that brat in your oven instead of harassing other people

Momo, nearly begging: please. You and I both know he's strong and a good hero that would not suddenly retire. Whatever he is doing, he might need help.. please tell me Bakugou.

... theres something about pregnant women that you cant say no to.

Bakugou, relenting: tch. The half ass is somewhere in Yokohama

and thats all she needs nearly running waddling (as fast as a pregnant woman could) out the door

Bakugou, calling out after her, still reluctant: when find that half ass, i suggest you throw him a gift. Literally. Throw it at him. He deserves it.

she finds him along the port, watching the sunset in Yokohama (its really not that hard to find someone with heterochromia and two tone hair in a city, especially if youre a hero that knows what methods heroes will use to go incognito)

and for some inkling of a feeling, Momo takes Bakugou's advice. She has a carton of strawberry milk in hand.

Momo, a few feet away from him: Todoroki-san, it's been a while.

Todo, turning his head in her direction: Yaoyorozu...?

Momo, sadly smiling: the sunset is beautiful here isnt it?

Todo, brows furrowing: .. sure. Yaoyorozu what are you doing here--

Momo, interrupting him: --i brought some snacks. Strawberry milk, you liked this while we were in school right? Catch.

she tosses it at him.

he tries to reach out.

But he'es completely off. And misses

Momo, sad: Todoroki-san. You're blind, arent you?

Todo, guilty: ah.

Momo, tearing up: will you please tell me?

he still can say no to her and confesses his story

and when he's finished telling the tale of star tears, the stars above are twinkling too

she's crying and choking and sobbing through tears and its intensified by baby Iida with pregnancy hormones

But the last thing she manages to croak out at the very least is still wholly her

She apologizes

“Im so sorry Todoroki- san. I cant love you that way.”

“I know.”

END NOTES:

red is the last color Todoroki wanted to lose because it reminds him of Momo

during missions, as long as he could see her, “that’s ok” he thought. she is the only one he sees in color. that is okay with him

to him, Momo is his shining star. And there’s something tragically poetic of him losing his sight to the stars if its for his shining star Momo

He leaves the last stars in a tiny little jar like those paper stars as a gift for her with just the words on a note "goodbye Momo" the day after she finds him in Yokohama

Momo has the jar of stars forever on her bedside and looks at them with this melancholy expression. Baby Iida grows up and asks mom: "what is that jar of stars?" 

Momo responds: "a gift from someone that was blinded by love"

Bakugou in this timeline had a case of star tears too but I'd like to think he got his feelings requited so he never went blind to contrast Todo

So thats why Baku is (begrudgingly) sympathetic to Todo cuz he thinks: “that could’ve been me”

The ending shot of a blind Todoroki in a dark room, all alone, eyes closed, thinking back to Momo's shining smile from UA surrounded by star light with a sad smile on his face and it fades to black

do you have any good lgbt manga recs? i just finished shimanami tasogare and loved it

yes!!!

Authors:

yuhki kamatani - the author of shimanami tasogare! kamatani is x-gender (and ace!) and thoroughly incorporates lgbt characters into their works. the others aren’t like focused on the lgbt experience like how shimanami is, but they’re all wonderful and beautiful and have lgbt characters and i highly, highly rec them.

akiko morishima - a lesbian mangaka who i really like! she’s really good abt tackling the traditional stereotypes in yuri manga as well as writing stuff about older characters and frankly discussing sexuality and shit. she also has works that are not yuri manga-centric but iirc a good chunk if not all of them still have lgbt characters, so they’re worth checking out as well! (she does have a few works with some fuckshit in them tho, fair warning)

takako shimura - i don’t personally know what her sexuality is (tho shes a woman, i know this), but shimura is pretty well-known for her lgbt works. wandering son and aoi hana are probably her most famous, at least over here in the west! she also tends to incorporate lgbt themes into her works that don’t center on lgbt characters as well.

ebine yamaji - another lesbian mangaka! yamaji’s works are very... realistic, usually about lesbian working through things. there’s a lot of trauma and a lot of sadness in her works, as well as sexual content, and i really love her art. i haven’t read ALL of her works, but what i have, i’m enamored with. they’re sad but rarely TRAGIC.

hiyori otsu - i don’t actually know otsu’s sexuality, but she’s a shoujo ai/yuri mangaka who writes a lot of genuinely sweet stuff. her works tend to very much be on the softer side of things, even if they can be bittersweet, and i’ve really enjoyed all i’ve read by her. it’s nice to just, be able to read a simple and nice lesbian manga without any major angst or tragedy or even sexual content sometimes, you know?

Autobiographies:

honey x honey by sachiko takeuchi - a slice of life little manga about the author and her girlfriend! it is abt a decade old, which you can see some of, but it’s a really cute peek into their lives and japanese lgbt culture. there ARE sequel(s?), but i unfortunately haven’t managed to find any english translations for them. if you do, let me know!

my lesbian experience with loneliness by kabi nagata - i own this manga! i keep it squirreled away in the bottom of my desk and pull it out every few weeks or so because it’s deeply, deeply relatable to me. the first time i read this manga i sat down and cried because i felt it deep in my soul. absolutely rec!!! there’s also a sequel, my solo exchange diary.

the bride was a boy by chii - a cute little manga about a trans woman named chii, recounting her early years up to her current life, her transition and how she met her husband (+ abt their relationship). it’s super cute and sweet, and very informative!! an absolute rec!!

i was born the wrong sex! by mayufu konishi - i haven’t quite finished this one yet, but this is a highly informative manga about a trans woman heading to thailand for her surgery! it’s extremely extremely informative about every single step of the process, and the author is an absolute delight, so it’s one i’d absolutely rec.

our journey to lesbian motherhood by emiko sugiyama/koyuki higashi/hiroko masuhara - have you heard of the lesbians that got married in disneyland tokyo? this is them!!! this is their autobiographical story of, well, their journey to lesbian motherhood! it’s very good, i definitely enjoyed it - it IS a sequel to another manga by them, but i sadly couldn’t find an english translation anywhere… it’s completely understandable without having read it, though!!

fictional manga:

my brother’s husband by gengoroh tagame - this is one i haven’t read myself, but is pretty damn high up on my ‘next to read’ list. the author is a prominent gay bara author - this is his first dabbling into more family-friendly series. he’s also recently started another family-friendly one called our colors that may be worth looking into as well!

whispered words by takashi ikeda - it’s been a good long while since i’ve read this, but i really enjoyed this when i was younger! (has it already been almost 8 years since it ended?? i feel old) it’s about two lesbians who are best friends - one of which is secretly in love with the other. unfortunately, she’s very much not her friend’s type. :( i vaguely remember some kind of weird crossdressing shenanigans with one character, tho, so tread lightly with that.

koimonogatari by tohru tagura - if you liked shimanami, this is also probably right up your alley! it’s a very realistic manga about a boy finding out that one of his classmates is closeted and gay - and he promptly decides to tell no one because he’s not an asshole, which leads to him being one of this boy’s main confidants. it realistically deals with the homophobia that gay people face, as well as the main character’s slow realization that he’s not necessarily straight, either (or at least, that’s my hypothesis - it’s still ongoing!!). i really enjoyed it.

lonely wolf, lonely sheep by fuka mizutani - two women with the same name, same birth month, and same injury end up meeting by complete coincidence at the hospital. i genuinely adore this manga and all it is. despite it only being one volume long, it deals with heavier topics such as depression, self harm, homophobia, and iirc even suicide. it’s really, really good though and i wish all the best for them.

kono koi ni mirai wa nai by morihashi bingo - i recommend this one tentatively, as the last two chapters are not yet translated (as of 1/11/19), but i enjoyed what was there. despite the label as BL on many sites, this story is actually about a trans woman (tho there is also a gay man in the manga!). the note left off on the most recent chapter, chapter 10, was a very uplifting note that she is not alone and that how she feels is completely, utterly normal, and i have hope for the last two chapters! the art’s really pretty, too, and the metaphors. but again - who knows what could go down in the last two chaps. fingers crossed!

i hear the sunspot by yuki fumino - PLEASE read this one. this manga is about two college-aged young men who end up meeting when one LITERALLY stumbles across the other. kouhei, one of the boys, is hard of hearing - and the other boy, taichi, starts taking notes for him in class in exchange for lunch, and thus begins a friendship that will blossom into romance! it absolutely gets in depth on the hoh/Deaf community in Japan, and is definitely informative - and the guys are just genuinely so sweet (as well as the other characters!!!) and I wish them all the happiness. it’s STILL ONGOING so like, warning on that, but i’m really enjoying it so far. i think there’s also a movie based off it!

cirque arachne by nika saida - this one has some sexual elements to it, so fair warning on that, but i really enjoyed it! it’s a single volume manga about two acrobats that fall in love. the art was cute and i genuinely liked the characters, quite a lot. would definitely rec.

yuureitou by tarou nogizaka - i have not actually read this manga, but it’s another that’s amazingly high up on my to read list. it’s a supernatural horror manga, and the main couple is a trans man and a cis man! i’ve heard good things about it - from people i know personally, as well as just in general - and it’s one i can’t wait to check out.

ohana holoholo by shino tarino - i FEEL like this one is completed, but if it is, the translation isn’t done. either way, i did love what i read from this! ohana holoholo is about a bi woman raising her son along with her ex-girlfriend and their neighbor, nico. it’s really good, one that i HIGHLY recommend, and one of the woman is implied to be trans, too! (fingers crossed they explicitly state it please please please-) overall, i absolutely rec it, please check this out!

no. 6 by atsuko asano/hinoki kino - who HASN’T heard of no. 6? no. 6 is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the government is, well, the government. it involves two young men working to take it down alongside others and they fall in love. and one of the other characters is non-binary! ...honestly that’s probably the best i can describe no. 6 because WOW is it a wild trip. it’s a wild trip that i highly, highly recommend though! you want gays taking down the government alongside killer bees and a magical bug goddess? this is the manga for you. please read it.

asagao to kase san by hiromi takashima & bloom into you by nio nakatani - two shoujo ai manga centering around high schoolers that i haven’t actually read yet, both of which recently got animated adaptations!!! i have heard genuinely fantastic things about both of them (ESPECIALLY) the latter, and bloom into you is actually next on my reading list. they absolutely sound fantastic and i can’t wait to read them!!

seven days by rihito takarai/venio tachibana - a two-volume manga about two high school boys. every week, a boy named seryou goes out with a different girl - he treats them very well, showers them in attention, and then promptly breaks up with them at the end of the week because he didn’t fall in love with them. out of curiosity, his upperclassman, shino, asks him out one week - and thus begins their seven day romance. i really loved this, i really really did.

tamen de gushi by tan jiu - it’s an on-going webcomic about how two girls, qui tong and sun jing, meet and fall in love. the characters are all absurdly fantastic, from the two girls to all of the supporting characters around them, and it’s an absolute TREAT to read. i would highly rec it, there’s some lovely shenanigans in there.

last but not least, i highly rec manga written by the year 24 group. this group was a non-formal group of female mangaka in the 1970s that really revolutionized and influenced the shoujo manga genre. many of their works are considered classics today, with works such as kaze to ki no uta, claudine...!, the heart of thomas, and shiroi heya no futari among them. a lot of their works really dug in and examined sexuality and gender, and you can find some of the original shounen ai, shoujo ai, and trans manga among them. i’m a sucker for the classics, and i highly recommend them. i honestly could have listed every single of one these mangaka in my recommend authors list, but decided it was just easier to promote the group as a whole. the best for last, you know?

hope this helps, anon!

meeting the parents: karmelle

(this is so long hhhh)

karma met the (step)mom first

he already sorta met her in the summer trip since she was one of the assassins in the hotel

but they properly met when he comes over anielle’s house after school

as anielle unlocks the door karmas ready for her little siblings running up to her and welcoming her home and saying hi to him

but to his surprise its a woman with her arms crossed thats there when they walk in

wowie ! its arime kiriya !

anielle seems unbothered and ignores that her mom looks mad as shes taking off her shoes

“didnt know youd be home today”

“daichi says you skipped training for a week again.”

“daichi says a lot of things especially about me, probably to stray you from the fact hes failing one of his classes”

theres a screech from the kitchen

“?!!???!! SHES LYING DONT LISTEN TO HER”

arime just sighs, shaking her head

meanwhile karmas standing there like …?? um ok

as hes taking his shoes off, arime notices him

“oh, the boyfriend.”

ani: um??? no??? hes not??? my boyfriend???

“this is karma,,,”

“is he staying for dinner??”

karmas kinda panicking and his Respecful Mode is ON

hes not really intimidated, she just seems like a ‘normal’ mom to him but at the same time ..

this .. arime kiriya might be a pro assassin but before that she’s still anielle’s mom

he doesn’t really care about first impressions

so he has no idea why hes worrying now

“i usually do, unless you don’t want me to??”

“oh no no i would have insisted you stay if you said no”

anielle grabs karmas wrist

“call us down when foods ready”

shes dragging him up the stairs

she lets go of his wrist when they got in her room and shes like

“yeah um,, thats my mom,, i didnt know she would be home”

“shes different from what i expected?? from the trip she seemed more intimidating”

“oh shes actually pretty nice ?? we get in playful arguments sometimes but yeah even though shes not always at home she tries her best”

dinner time !

anielle said they werent together but arime could tell that even tho they werent tgt yet there was something there

arime asks karma a few questions as they’re eating and when karma answers, his tone’s polite and tame

anielle notices this

she finds it a little amusing, but honestly cute more than anything

when karma goes home arime says

“he seems like a good kid. you like him?”

ani, blushing: ?!??!!?! n-no

arime: ok sure

after that karma sees arime whenever shes home

he usually comes over anielles house so

but on the times that ani doesnt come home with karma, arime invites him for dinner

he says yes every time

arime always refers to him as the boyfriend though

not your boyfriend, but THE boyfriend

“you gonna invite the boyfriend over?” “how’s the boyfriend?” “ask the boyfriend if he wants to eat dinner with us”

anielles like please stop calling him that (1) he isnt my bf and (2) even if he was it sounds so weird and lame

(when karmelle start officially dating though she refers to him as karma)

karma eventually gets comfortable that he drops the Timid Tone and starts talking like himself

arimes not shocked at the change

HHH she looked thru the poor kid’s records and looked him up after they met because she has to know abt him if hes gonna end up with her daughter so she knew abt his personality and was waiting for it to show

arime’s honestly amused by him but she likes him and still thinks hes a good kid

he gets invited to their training sometimes

and sometimes gets to spar with arime he almost beat her once

as for ani’s (birth) mom, karma goes with anielle to the cemetery whenever she asks for mental support because sometimes it gets a little too much for her

the first time he went was after the incident with shiro

anielle wasnt planning on bringing him, but he insisted

he couldnt leave her alone, not after the emotional torture shiro put her through

when she broke down in his arms, he knew coming with her was the best decision, even if she didnt like the idea at first

the dad .. he met him three months after arime

karma knew that he was in the ministry of defense and is friends with karasuma, but was dealing with things overseas

thats all he really knew, he was expecting someone like karasuma

karma and ani were just playing a game tgt

then they hear the doorknob rattling ?!??!?!

out of instinct, anielle grabs the gun she keeps under the sofa hjgfhjksd

shes walking slowly towards the door gun in hand

the door opens

“i swear to god yuto i told you to stop doing that.. stop trying to scare the kids and open the door anielles gonna accidentally shoot you one of these days” arime scolds him as they walk in

yuto just laughs

anielle drops the gun and runs to hug her dad,, she hasnt seen him in months

“see! she had a damn gun ready!” arime sighs, pulling their luggage in

she sees karma “oh hi karma!! how you been?”

“good,,”

“so you’re karma? are you gonna join us for lunch?”

karmas like this is like meeting arime all over again

man he never thought his Respectful and Polite Mode would make a comeback but here he is

HHH karma: no fear

yuto: hi

karma: one fear

“yes sir”

anielles trying so hard not to laugh,, she cant believe karma just called her dad SIR HRKHHKJJKH

she and arime are silently snickering together while karma sits there as yuto studies him

“i’ll go start making the food,,” arime heads to the kitchen

“elly, go help your mom”

karma and anielle knew it was to get karma alone with him,, ani doesnt argue and goes to the kitchen

“arime and karasuma told me a lot about you.”

“oh”

yuto asks karma questions, but they arent Extra ykno

hes not Overly Protective, but hes more protective of ani because out of the two oldest, he knows anielle was affected by their mothers death most and took longest to get over it

he just wants to get to know karma

after arime karma was expecting the dad to be like her except more strict and intimidating but

for arime, it took two months for him to drop the timid tone

for yuto, it took an hour

hes still answering politely, but now hes including some snarky remarks as a joke and is talking in his usual tone

arime calls them for lunch

they all talk while eating and karma could tell the dad likes him too

hes just happy he got both of anis parents to like him

anielle met karmas parents like two weeks after graduation,, meaning karmelle are tgt now

she decided to tag along when karma went to the airport when they were coming back from a trip

he said they were coming back for a bit to spend time with him and to congratulate him for graduating

anielle didnt really know what to expect

shes looking at her phone when she hears a “karma!!!!”

she looks up and sees a woman waving at karma and a man beside her

as they’re approaching, his mom notices anielle beside him

“oh you came with... your girlfriend?”

“hi, i’m anielle!” ani greets. “i hope i’m not being a bother by being here?”

“not at all! i didn’t know our karma had a girlfriend?? since when??”

“we haven’t been together for long, but we met during our second year,,”

his mom turns to karma, “you dont tell your folks anything nowadays”

karma just shrugs

anielle shares brief greetings and conversations with his dad, the mom talks more

they dropped off their things and anielle stays for an hour and leaves so they can settle in

she gets invited to eat out with them the next day

(bruh all of these involve eatinf i am so original)

she gets to really talk with his parents

karmas mom jokes around like “our problem child managed to get himself a girl!!! he’s a real handful, isn’t he?”

anielle laughs it off, “hes tiring to deal with sometimes, but i manage. you learn to have patience with him”

karma: Bruh

ani came over sometimes, and she got to know the parents better (and vice versa, they just dont know shes a hitman)

they really like her, she keeps karma in check and they think she brings out the best in him,, shes reckless and chaotic just like karma but if she needs to, shes able to stop karma from doing stupid things and he actually listens so

his parents arent the kind that are like “wanna see karmas baby pics” to embarass him hes thankful

after a month they leave again

ani got their numbers, and the mom texts her from time to time to check up on karma (and her !!)

(karma doesnt know this)

hsau soccer team head canons?

FIRSTLY HOLY SHIT THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK I’M SO SORRY WE NEVER ANSWERED IT WHEN YOU SENT IT, WE SAVED IT TO DRAFTS AND I NEVER CHECK MY DRAFTS LMAO

secondly so we went to talk about this and our headcanons went in a very different direction 




that direction being sara making out/hooking up with alex danvers in the national city high school locker room after a soccer tournament 

BUT WE’LL COME BACK TO THAT

like, every hot woman ever from legends is in the schs soccer team

sara is the best captain they’ve ever had

they’ve never made it to state champs thus far in the time sara’s been at schs - freshman year they lost a qualifying match, sophomore year they won regionals but didn’t make it past the playoffs, junior year they lost at regionals. but state champs is sara’s dream for what she wants to achieve with high school soccer before going to brown (will they make it? tune into the rest of the fic to find out 😉)

zari joined the team when she moved to star city and she and sara immediately clicked and got super close through soccer, because they were kind of equally stubborn personalities when they hung out at lunch and stuff and soccer was the one place where they kind of worked just seamlessly and realised that they could get on really well 

rip lowkey saved a spot on the team for sara from the minute he saw her play when she was in 8th grade 

right okay so this tournament in national city 

it’s an away game, and the schs team get there early enough that when they amble onto the pitch no one (read:alex) expects them yet

so when they meet the other team alex is standing there with her back to them leading her team through a warm up with her very gay haircut, and she doesn’t see them coming at first so it’s not until Sara taps her on the shoulder and cockily says “getting ready to get beaten danvers?” that she spins around to face them

and sara has all sorts of comebacks on the tip of her tongue for whatever alex has to say, but the moment she turns around and raises an unimpressed eyebrow sara completely loses her train of thought because the last time she saw alex, they were still in middle school for a soccer camp that summer (and sara was with nyssa then and alex thought she was straight) and holy fuck alex is hotter than she remembered and sara wasn’t prepared for it

and alex responds with a sarcastic quip that’s so much better than her line, and she usually has the perfect response but she doesn’t anymore because alex has managed to catch her completely off guard

and it gets under her skin

and the whole game, every time sara does anything, every move she makes, every time she gets the ball, she turns and alex is there waiting to attack 

and sara doesn’t know if she’s impressed or furious or frustrated or turned on and it’s probably a mixture of both and alex just keeps smirking as though she knows exactly what she’s fucking doing 

so sara just smirks and returns her taunts and plays twice as hard and doesn’t realise she’s doing exactly the same thing to alex that alex is doing to her

schs win on a penalty and honestly it’s all a bit of a blur, because one moment sara is celebrating with her team and shaking hands and letting rip congratulate her and the next alex is dragging her into the locker room by her shirt whilst everyone is distracted and she’s pushing her up against the wall

zari walks in at some point and immediately throws something at them and yells at sara to lock the door next time but tbh both alex and sara just laugh and get back to it

and after, as alex tugs her soccer jersey back on, her phone buzzes from her gear bag and she asks if sara can check who it is and sara picks up the phone and whistles when she sees kara’s contact photo and goes “uh, who the hell is this?” and alex makes a tsch sound and goes “hands off, that’s my sister kara” and sara scoffs and goes “no it’s not. i remember kara, she doesn’t look like that !” and alex rolls her eyes and goes “she does now. and wipe that look off your face lance, kara doesn’t even realise she’s bi yet.”

and sara sighs overexaggeratedly but alex can see she’s kidding as she answers kara’s call and lies saying she was helping someone from the schs team find their way around and sara waggles her eyebrows as she says it, sneaking into alex’s space even as alex swats her away and sealing her lips to alex’s neck distractingly

and eventually alex hangs up on kara and pokes sara in the stomach, voice a little breathier than before and she goes “you play dirty lance” and sara hums against alex’s collarbone, murmuring “i mean, can you blame me, look at yourself”

but she feels alex’s skin flush’s nd hears the disbelieving noise slip from her mouth and she pulls away, her hands dropping from alex’s ribs to her hips and she says a little more genuinely, “you’re stunning alex, you know that right?”

and the look on alex’s face makes it very clear she doesn’t and sara raises an eyebrow and goes “how is someone not losing their mind over you and telling you every single day?”

and alex shrugs, pushes her hair away from her face and leans back against the wall as she quietly goes “i dunno. i haven’t dated really. not really the kind of person to sleep around.” and sara raises an unsure eyebrow and gestures between them and alex goes “yeah but this is different. we’ve been playing tournaments against each other for years - i think i even remember playing against you at a soccer camp in middle school. i know you, i - i trust you. plus, there’s none of the weirdness of seeing you at school every day and knowing what you look like naked.” and sara laughs and kisses alex’s jawline again before pulling back, moving to finish packing up her stuff

while they’re packing up, sara pauses and asks “you really haven’t dated?” and alex can hear the edge to her voice, and she sighs and goes “you know that i have once.”

sara pauses zipping up her bag and turning, her face apologetic as she says “we don’t have to talk about it. i just - i remember seeing pictures of you guys on instagram.”

and there’s a moment of quiet before alex goes “yeah. maggie. she moved across the country. got an athletics scholarship to this elite sports school. she’s actually pretty near you now, i think.” and alex shrugs and adds, sadly, “she didn’t wanna make me wait and she said i deserved better than long distance. deserved someone who could love me every day rather than over tired skype calls and texting abt menial things just to feel connected. she promised that if it was meant to be, maybe we’d cross paths again so i guess part of me is scared to move on a lose that chance.”

and sara crosses her arms across her chest and softly says “there’s no expectation for you to move on, but she’s right alex. you’re smart and talented and really fucking hot and i’m certain that if you opened yourself up to it, someone would be there waiting. i know what it feels like to lose someone to distance, and how much you wanna hold on to the idea that maybe they’ll come back or you’ll go there and be ok again, but i promise it’s not worth wasting all the other things happening every day just bc you’re waiting for the time when you’ll be with them again.”

and alex can tell by the heaviness in her voice that she does know, but she doesn’t have the energy to talk more abt maggie right now

eventually they both head out of the locker room and the schs soccer team are staying at a motel so alex drives sara back on her way home and before getting out of the car, sara leans over the gear shift and pulls alex into the slowest, softest kiss that she feels alex melt into, feels alex’s fingers slide into her hair and her breath hitch and her other hand reach out for sara’s shirt, and when sara breaks away, she gives alex a genuine smile before kissing the side of her mouth and saying “call me if you’re near star city okay? even if it’s not for this - we can get coffee and talk about the beautiful girlfriends who abandoned us.” and alex snorts with laughter, something easing in her chest and she tugs sara forward to kiss her again for a second before murmuring “thanks for tonight. and i promise we’re gonna kick your ass next time we play.” and sara’s eyes sparkle with mirth as she goes “we’ll see” and gets out of the car to head towards her and zari’s room where she’s 100% prepared to be completely interrogated

well it turns out we have a lot more feelings abt that than anticipated

anyway the only other headcanon we really have about the soccer team is that sara hooks up with a few of the girls on it (lindsey, gwen etc) when they’re having a ‘questioning their sexualities’ crisis bc saras their friend and saras calm and reassuring and is always supportive and sweet and when each of them tentatively talk to her about it, she jokingly says she’s always here if they wanna test something out

zari always jokes abt how sara sleeping her way through the team is “strengthening their team bonds”

and sara rolls her eyes and snarks “is that a request Z? you feeling left out?” and zari gags and goes “absolutely not”

i apologise for the tangent this ended up being i hope u enjoyed all the sara/alex feels you absolutely did not ask for anyway thanks for the ask we love u 

[caterpillar-anon]

hi lovely! if it isn't any trouble, could you maybe do some elmer x reader hc's (or a fic! whatever you'd prefer to do when you get a chance!) abt a girlsie who is really soft/gentle and elmer thinking she's so sweet and falling for her? thank you honey! ✨❤️

Hello! It’s no trouble at all!! Here you go!

You’ve been a newsie for almost as long as you can remember

you’re known for being super sweet

and also you’re super cute

something about you is just magnetic

like you’re really good at selling papes because people are just drawn to you

everyone knows you

and everyone loves you!

you love all the other newsies

and they all love you so much

and they’re super protective of you

even though they know you can take care of yourself

they just want you to be safe so you don’t really mind

you especially love the younger ones

you love to tell them stories

anyways

you and Elmer are best friends

y’all do pretty much everything together

you’re not selling partners though

because you feel like you can do better by yourself

so Elmer sells with Romeo

you always make sure to meet up for lunch

usually with a few others

but y’all almost always end up talking separately from the rest of the group

and at the end of the day, you always talk for hours

sometimes until super late (your bunks are next to each other)

until Jack tells you to shut up at least

all the other newsies lowkey ship you two together

I mean y’all basically act like a couple already

but of course neither of you know that

and you would never tell anyone this

but you think you’re starting to develop a crush on Elmer

but it could never happen of course

you and Elmer are best friends

nothing more

and you didn’t want to ruin that

little did you know

Elmer has more than a little crush on you

he has a very big crush on you

every single day poor Romeo has to listen to him go on and on about you

“She’s so pretty. Did you see that dress she was wearing today?”

“She wears that dress every other day, Elmer”

“Oh my goodness, she’s perfect. She told me I was sweet and I’ve never felt better!”

“Whatever you say”

“Have you ever noticed how beautiful her eyes are?”

“No, Elmer, I haven’t”

“She just gave me hug and I don’t even know what to do”

“I’m starting to think that you should be the one called Romeo”

but of course, Romeo was sworn to secrecy

except he definitely told every newsie except for you

so everyone knows how much Elmer likes you

which is a lot

eventually, the newsies got sick of Elmer gushing about you all time

so Race decided to take one for the team

“Hey Elmer, here’s a thought, just ask her out”

Elmer was horrified

how could he ever?

he wasn’t at all good enough for you 

and he wouldn’t even know how to ask you out anyways

but the newsies literally force him to do it

Elmer still doesn’t know how they managed to convince him

it may have been because they threatened to hide all of his shirts

but I guess we’ll never know

so after selling one day, Elmer goes and picks the most beautiful flower he could find

and he heads back to the lodging house

and he finds you sitting in the middle talking to some of the guys

“umm, hi Y/N”

“hey, Elmer! How was selling today?”

and you can tell something’s off so

“are you feeling okay?”

this of course makes him more nervous

and he’s holding the flower behind his back

“yeah, umm, I’m feeling just fine”

“anyways, I saw this flower in the park and I just thought of you and maybe it would look pretty in your hair?”

and he said this super fast so it took you a second to process

and during this second, Elmer feels like he’s about to throw up

but you start giggling because he’s adorable

so you decide to be brave because obviously likes you

“maybe you could put it in my hair for me?”

this is super awkward

but he says okay and he tucks it behind your hair

“thank you so much Elmer”

and you kiss him on the cheek

and this boy blushes so much

he doesn’t know what to do

“so umm maybe you would want to come to dinner with me sometime?”

“of course, Elmer, I would love to”

That’s all I have and it turned out super long but honestly I really love Elmer so it’s fine!!

[thokage-archive]

Honestly...

I just rewatched the entirety of the hero killer arc and I’m so fucking sad abt how slept on todoiideku is, even platonically. I don’t think enough people appreciate their bond or what they went through together. 

Both Todoroki and Midoriya voiced evident concern with Iida’s behavior following the sports festival.They could sense something was wrong with their friend!!! They both wanted to help him but didn’t know how!!! They both feel guilty for not saying something to Iida sooner! They feel terrible for not knowing how to help their friend who was so clearly isolating himself & lying to them about his wellbeing!!! 

You gotta be pretty fucking close to with someone to tell when they’re lying about that sort of thing!! (Especially when they are putting a significant effort into appearing fine, which Iida most definitely was!) They could notice the subtle nuanced differences in his emotions & demeanor!! Noticed it despite the fact Iida is not an overtly emotional person as it is, and Todoroki, someone who also struggles with social & emotional cues due to past trauma & his lack of social exposure as a child, noticed it as well. Hell, he even relates, he says

“You’ve got a lot going on behind the scenes in your family, too, huh?” 

(very clear poke at the pressure Iida must feel at carrying on his hero-family’s name and legacy)

And then continues in one of his only monologues of the series thus far (his first being with Midoriya in the sports festival arc just episodes prior)

“Iida, I’ve been worried about you since your older brother was attacked, because I know well the face of someone who would act on pent-up resentment. I also know just how narrow the field of vision can get for someone like that.”

Todoroki is referring to not only endeavor’s age-old resentment towards all might and how he allowed that to consume his life, even leading to Todoroki’s planned conception, but also to himself!!! 

He’s referring to his own resentment for endeavor! He’s referring to how he limited himself for so long by focusing all his efforts on rejecting endeavor by refusing to use his left side in combat!!! And yet here he is saving his friend’s life by using both his left and right side to fight a villain!! Using his power, his quirk to the best of his ability as a hero. He let go of that anger, that resentment and moved on with his life to better himself! He doesn’t owe endeavor shit & he knows it! But he knows that objectively endeavor is the best hero aside from all might, hence why he is number 2, and decides to take advantage of his personal relationship with endeavor by interning for him so he can become the best hero he can be. 

Again, he says,

“That day, I told her everything about what had happened and about who I am now… She said that for me to move forward without anything holding me back would make her happy and be her salvation (referring to visiting his mom in the hospital) The old me would definitely not have been able to choose my old man’s agency for the internship. It’s not that I’ve forgiven him, and I have no intention of doing so. It was just so I could experience the fact that he is the number two hero with my own eyes and body and accept that… Everything was so simple! But even though it was simple, I didn’t see it… Just a few words, those few words…..”  (referencing Midoriya’s “it’s your power, isn’t it?”) 

By hearing those few words from Midoriya, Todoroki realized the error of his ways. It wasn’t that his left side was his old man’s, his left side was his, it was his own quirk, regardless of where it came from, so long as he used it how he wanted to it would always be his and his alone. The only thing of his old man’s that he seemed to have inherited was his blind-resentment. He resented his father (rightfully so btw) so wholeheartedly that it consumed him and his desires to be a hero. All he focused on for so long was becoming everything endeavor wanted him to be…. but without him, his help, or “his” quirk, just to spite him. 

It wasn’t until those words that he realized he was becoming exactly who he feared most by allowing his resentment to consume his every waking action. That the best thing he could do to reject endeavor was to rise to the top giving it his all, becoming the hero he wanted to be by listening to the encouragement of his classmates & mother. (this is shown through the reiteration of his mother’s line “But you want to be a hero don’t you? It’s okay for you to be one. As long as you have a future you feel strongly about”) 

He knows he can be a hero of his own, he wants to be a hero, despite the fact it’s also what his father wants. It’s okay for him to want the same thing endeavor wants so long as he wants it for the right reasons, unlike endeavor. He can relate to Iida because he feels familial pressure to become a great hero. He also knows what its like to let resentment consume all of your thoughts and actions so much so you lose yourself in it, becoming exactly what you were so focused on not becoming. Becoming what you resent most.

For Iida, this is becoming a fake hero, someone unworthy of his brother’s name or of the title “hero” at all. For Todoroki, it’s becoming his father. 

Iida mentions after the hero killer incident that what Stain said about him was right, that he wasn’t a real hero because a real hero wouldn’t have been focused on revenge, rather saving people. (As Midoriya & Todoroki, people he looks up to and admires as heroes and friends, were focused on saving him and the hero Native). 

Iida sees the error of his ways, and Todoroki’s words

“If you want us to stop, then stand up! The only words I can say to you are: Look properly at what you want to be!” 

are eerily similar to Midoriya’s words towards Todoroki at the sports festival. 

That line to Iida is the same as Midoriya’s is to Todoroki. Just as Midoriya’s words move Todoroki to action, considering we see him use his left side moments later during the sports festival, we see Iida spring into action moments later to defend his friends and save Todoroki from the blade of Stain. (He also takes 2 fucking knives for him, knives that will give him permanent nerve damage in his left-hand mind you). Todoroki knows what it’s like to lose sight of your goals and to have your thoughts spiral out of control. He also knows the effects words can have on someone in a time of crisis, and despite not generally being good with words, Todoroki makes a significant effort to get through to Iida as Midoriya did for him.

And lets not even get started on Midoriya and Iida’s bond. Iida is Midoriya’s FIRST friend at U.A. even before Uraraka. 

(notice this panel of Ochako walking up to Midoriya & Iida and introducing herself to them as they walk home together) 

At the point of the hero killer arc, they have already been through a lot together and view one another as very close friends. They walk home together, eat lunch together, and hang out with Ochako regularly. Midoriya voices his concern for Iida outright, with Ochako by his side, and says to him before everything went down with stain 

“If you ever feel hopeless, make sure you let us know”

He could just sense Iida’s mood. He at first didn’t want to say anything to Iida, for fear of overstepping (probably intermixed with some self-doubt) as he mentions that he didn’t feel he could say anything to Tenya about it because he had not said anything to Midoriya first. But instead of allowing Iida to suffer alone, he puts aside his own worries and self-doubt & puts his friend’s needs and happiness first. He simply lets Iida know with those few words, we are there for you, so if you ever feel like you can’t handle what you’re going through alone, or like it’s all too much to bear, let us know and we will be there. We are friends and friends take care of each other through everything. 

Iida, unfortunately, continues to bottle up his emotions after the gesture, not wanting to worry or bother his friends. But we see the worry evident in Midoriya & Todoroki’s faces after this interaction and at Iida’s tight-lipped response to Midoriya’s show of support. 

todoroki looking after iida as they part ways for the first day of internships (just look at this sweet angel, I CANNOT y’all)

(^ you like tears, no?)

AND THEN, in the middle of a fucking attack on Hosu city Midoriya thinks not of himself, but firstly of his mentor, gran torino, who he just witnessed hop out of a fucking train after a giant villain that bears resemblance to Nomu (the villain that almost bested his other mentor) and of Iida, who is doing his internship there. He should be scared shitless, considering he knows the power of the Nomus and just watch one rip off the side of a train, but instead, he jumps out of the train and runs to save Gran Torino and try to find out if Iida is okay. 

Upon hearing Tenya’s name being yelled by Manual he detours away from finding gran torino, coming face first with even more danger, in his efforts to locate Iida. He notices Iida is not with Manual which causes him even more concern for Iida knowing that it is very out of character for someone as responsible and diligent as Iida to disappear in such a situation. Thinking on his feet, he immediately puts the info together and realizes that the only thing that could have motivated Iida to flee the side of his mentor would be the opportunity to find Stain. And in that moment of realization, we see the fear Midoriya has for his friend in his eyes

(I mean we have honestly only seen Midoriya look this terrified a handful of other times, both in the anime & manga)

He sprints off after this, with no clear direction, only knowing he must do everything in his power to ensure the safety of his friend. He goes looking for Iida, using all his knowledge about the Hero Killer to find him. And he does all this knowing full and well just how dangerous Stain is. He knows how many pro heroes he has killed, he knows that he is no match for Stain, yet all he can focus on is saving Iida, making sure Iida is okay, getting to Iida in time. 

When Midoriya does eventually get to Iida, he’s taken aback by Iida’s pleas for him to not get involved. He’s shocked that Iida could think the situation has nothing to do with him, after all, Iida is his friend, and if it involves Iida and his well-being, it involves him by default. He even says in response 

“If you say that, then heroes can’t do anything! There are a lot of things I’d like to say, but I’ll say them later. It’s like what All Might said: Meddling when you don’t need to is the essence of being a hero”

Which not only reflects on Midoriya being a natural born hero, but also on him being a great friend. He didn’t want to bother Iida, he wanted to give him his space, but now he has seen what allowing Iida to shrug off his offers of help has led to, so in this moment he makes his intentions to involve himself more in Iida’s well-being mentally, emotionally and, at the moment, physically, very clear. He will no longer allow Iida to handle what he is going through alone, a good hero, and more importantly, a good friend, wouldn’t allow that. They would keep pushing and fighting to be let in when they see their friend isolating themselves. 

AND THEN

THERE IS THIS MOMENT

WHEN MIDORIYA THINKS HE IS ABOUT TO WITNESS ONE OF THE CLOSEST AND BEST FRIENDS HE HAS EVER HAD IN HIS LIFE BE MURDERED RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM AND HE IS PLEADING WITH STAIN TO STOP. (HONESTLY JUST FUCKING KILL ME, IM A WRECK AND SO FUCKING EMO OVER THIS, THE TEARS ARE REAL BITCH)

Thankfully, Todoroki, being the only person to take Midoriya’s text as a sign of distress, at least seriously enough to move to action, appears to save the both of them, using his left side first to stop Stain from killing Iida. 

Once everything is said and done we see the three of them in the hospital and one of the first things Todoroki says to Iida is

“You’re amazing to have been able to face him…”

he understands and instead of ridiculing Iida or being angry with him (surely knowing he must feel enough guilt and shame for his actions as it is) he let’s him know how brave it was of him to confront Stain like that, to stare into the eyes of the man who almost killed his brother, and challenge him. hi yes don’t mind me in this fucking puddle of tears

AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT IM NOT DONE LMAO

Because next, we see a kind of amazing response from Todoroki after the three of them are chewed out by the chief of police for technically breaking the law. Now… all of us upon seeing this scene we were like “damn right! you tell em shouto” 

…. but have you ever stopped to consider how odd it is that Shouto of all people was the one to react in such an aggressive and outspoken manner? Shouto who up until this point has shown almost no emotions. Shouto, who is always regarded as the quiet stoic character. Shouto, who thinks rationally & never lets his emotions get the best of him. Shouto…. who was raised in violence and focuses every fiber of his being on not being aggressive like his father. Yeah… he’s the one who gets angry and has something to say. 

Like just take a fucking look at his face. He has never shown this much emotion in the anime or manga ever…. not in front of other people at least and certainly not in such a deliberate way. And yet here he is, losing his cool and about to throw fucking hands with the chief of police to protect his friends from punishment. He doesn’t even wait to hear him out all the way before he starts crossing the room to quite literally fight the man. And then after he is told they will be let off of punishment so long as the incident is not made public he’s still pissed at the outcome, knowing his friends deserve better. 

So, not only is their bond as extremely close friends that depend on one another physically and emotionally solidified during this arc, but Iida gets an insane amount of character development as well. 

He may be the class president and resident perfectionist of 1-a, but even he has flaws and gets angry and doubts himself just as anyone else does. He just loves his brother so fucking much and his world is completely falling apart because his brother, the very person who inspired him to become a hero, who he has admitted to modeling his career at yuuei after, whose footsteps he wishes to follow, was just injured so severely he can no longer continue his career as a pro-hero. And he just… hides it all. Acts as if nothing happened, like the whole foundation of his world isn’t crumbling beneath him. Tells his classmates it’s no big deal and apologizes for worrying them.

And it’s all just so sudden…. one moment he’s worrying his head off about tying for 3rd at the sports festival and the next his brother, his hero, is permanently paralyzed & forced to retire at the age of 30.

Before he knows it, Iida, who never breaks the rules, is running through the halls of a hospital to his brother. He is so fraught with worry and sadness for his brother that he ends up crying at his brother’s hospital bedside while he asks Iida to carry his name, something Iida probably never imagined would happen in all his life. 

That’s so much pressure to bare at such a young age. Iida is strong, but to have the weight of the name of your hero placed on you as a teenager, to feel as though you have to live up to that name and the expectations attached to it when you’re still figuring everything about yourself out, when you’re still trying to figure out your place in this world, as a hero, as a student, as a friend? It’s just so much to deal with and Iida is so fucking brave for putting on a strong front and trying to keep all that from his friends. Yeah it was stupid of him & he ended up acting irrationally as a result of it, but that takes so much fucking strength, and he’s so young and deserves so much. 

AND THEN AFTER ALL THE SHIT THAT GOES DOWN WITH STAIN, he fucking learns from it. Instead of allowing the crippling fear and anger he felt from before back in, he finds strength, inspiration, and resolve in the actions of his friends. He makes a vow to get better with Midoriya… he makes the decision to forgo nerve transplant surgery & live with permanent nerve damage in his left hand to serve as a reminder of that promise & of his mistakes that night. All after an extremely traumatic experience with the very person who put his brother out of commission. With the person he watched his best friends bleed at the hands of. For all he knows they could have been killed in front of his eyes (and, according to him, it would have been his fault. As it is, he blames himself for their current injuries). But instead of isolating himself further he opens up to them, trusts them, apologizes profusely and is determined to right his wrongs and simply do better in the future.

Which, by the way, it’s not easy for an autistic person to open up to anyone about something so intensely personal… about all his self-loathing, brought on by the words of Stain, his fears, and his doubts, no matter how close he is to them or what they all just went through. Social interactions are hard enough for Iida, he is constantly missing social & emotional cues and is made fun of for this. They even show it in this episode that Iida has had trouble with it since he was a small kid. They show Tensei calling him a robot & asking him why he isn’t picking up on the message he’s trying to send him, he asks Iida why he’s taking everything so literally… like bitch… hello. 

He even has the courage to admit that Stain was right, the person who he despises most in the world, for the time being, was right about him. Stain said, 

“Being taken in by the hatred before you and trying to fulfill your own desires… That is the furthest thing from what a hero should be”

Which is true, and we all know it. It’s also what makes Stain such an interesting and infuriating villain. Because his reasoning is solid, but his methods are all wrong. Iida recognizes this and instead takes the words to heart promising not to “forget himself in anger” ever again.

Idk about y’all but idk many 15-year-olds with that kind of resolve, morals, and humility. He just has such a big heart and works so fucking hard to prove himself. I love him too much and I’m so happy he has such great fucking friends like Todoroki and Midoriya to support him. 

I’m sure I could write like 12 more pages about Iida, Todoroki, and Midoriya & the bonds they share, especially if I got into the manga but imma just leave it at this for now because this is really the event that solidifies them as important people in each other’s lives. They are all people that really had no one in life before they met each other. None of them had any notable friends before they found one another, and yet here they are discovering the bonds of friendship together and growing into amazing heroes alongside one another. They all shared an extremely traumatic and life-changing experience yet found their own resolve in one another and pushed each other to do better and be better. 

[shinwnn]

i said i love you (&. yoongi)

(inspo) five word prompts “i said i love you”

you and yoongi have always been close

like you’ve never known a time in your life where he wasn’t more than a 15 minute drive away from you

& he’s always taken care of u in an endearing older sibling sort of way, even though he was only a year older than u

in hs while you guys were applying to colleges, you figured you’d just maximize ur chances by applying to any college in the city

but yoongi wouldn’t let u and instead went through each place on ur list and crossed out anywhere w in the general vicinity of a crime committed within the past 5 years

“yoongi stop it i’ll buy some pepper spray or something”

and while he’s laying on ur bed looking up each school he says, “pepper spray? u think that’s going to keep u safe? it’s just better if ur somewhere closer to me so i can keep an eye on u”

to which u replied with a teasing smile: “oh i see. so u don’t want me to go far bc ur gonna miss me right? bc ur life would be empty without me?”

yoongi looks up from the laptop and sees how content u are with urself (ur eyes lit up, ur cute smug smile) and his heart almost jumps the slightest bit

but without skipping a beat, he shoots back, “i hope u and ur stupid pepper spray get married far away from me”

neither of you have really let yourselves think abt the possibility of a romantic relationship between the two of you bc things seem so perfect with you guys being best friends that neither of you wanted to even think abt the possibility of change

it’s there though - there’s love in the way you guys look each other and think abt each other when the other person isn’t there and eat dinners with each others families

u end up going to school nearby yoongi’s at a college that he found  for u bc he knows the programs ur interested in and atmosphere that u like, and mostly bc he knows ur far too lazy to do any of the research urself

you’ve been going there for about two years now and you don’t see yoongi everyday, but you guys make it a habit to meet up every weekend no matter what

sometimes you go out for adventures on the town, but honestly with yoongi, most of the time it’s just lazy saturday nights on the couch with blankets and good music playing in the background while u guys tell each other abt ur weeks

and it’s just such a cute, wholesome friendship

recently, yoongi’s skipped out on some of these weekend hangouts bc an executive from an entertainment company heard some of the songs he writes in his free time & want him to try composing music for them

so yeah, he’s been busy writing draft after draft of the same demo

and you are so !! happy for him bc you know this has always been his dream

but you’re also worried bc you know how hard he can be on himself and how he always forgets to take care of himself

for the past few weeks you’ve been sending him periodic text messages checking up on him and letting him know what youve been up to, but all you receive in return is a sticker and, once in a while, a :~)”

and you’ve been trying to support him and you give him his space and time so he can write his best but you can’t lie that youre a little disappointed that he’s not making any effort to talk to you

so this weekend you decide to bring him dinner bc he said he’d be in working all night and , quite simply, you just really miss ur best friend

u make him kimchi jiggae bc u know how much he likes ur cooking & u pack some rice & side dishes and head over

but when u show up at his apartment and u realize he isnt home ur a little disappointed and kinda like ??? :/// where is he

you wait around a bit but he’s not answering his phone and after a while its pretty clear that he won’t be back anytime soon so you just hang the bag of food on the door handle with a little note saying “you must miss me a lot right? eat well buddy!!”

and you hang around for 5 more minutes bc ur hopeful but eventually you decide to start home

you remember that there’s a cafe nearby that yoongi would always take you to, so you decide to grab something before you head home

when you walk in the first thing you see is none other than ur best friend sleepily looking at his laptop & ur about to walk over excitedly

but when you look a little longer you notice he’s sitting across from a girl and they’re sharing a dessert & when she says something they both laugh happily

and you can’t explain it, you’re not even sure if it really happened, but you think your heart may have dropped at that moment

you also can’t explain why you turn around and walk out of the cafe when you make eye contact with him

you also can’t explain why you linger outside the cafe just long enough for him to come out and look for you

and when he does come outside you’re a little embarrassed bc you dont know why you did that, but when you look back inside and remember how happy he looked to be ditching your technically unsaid plans, any trace of embarrassment faded into anger

“we haven’t seen each other in weeks and you don’t come over and say hi?” he says playfully with a small smirk

you’re completely taken aback by how he’s acting bc ?? does he not even realize

“oh i am SO sorry!” u say w a violent sarcasm, “i didn’t think you would’ve recognized me seeing how you haven’t bothered to reply to any of my messages”

the soft smile that was on yoongi’s lips fades away quickly as he’s realizing that you’re not joking with him

he looks completely lost and he’s searching ur eyes to try and figure out what’s happening, and he looks like he’s about to say something when you cut him off

“it’s just nice to know that while i’ve been worrying about you, you’ve been out enjoying yourself”

his eyes darken a little with worry “hey,, hey” his voice is soft “i’m sorry i haven’t replied, but you know i’ve been busy. i thought you did at least. where’s all this coming from?”

you break eye contact and look down, you don’t want to say anything bc you don’t know either

you don’t know why you’re suddenly feeling protective over your friend

you dont know why you’re so hurt that he’s hanging out with some other girl,,, he’s allowed to after all

he reaches out to tug on ur jacket bc he wants to get ur attention (but also it’s just a habit of his to tug on ur jacket)

& it’s weird but when u look up to meet his sad eyes and something abt having him there, even when you’re upset at him, is so comforting that, for a moment, u feel every feeling you’ve ignored the past 10 years

u feel how much u completely and absolutely love this boy bc u know that he cares about u SO much & how comfortable and warm he can make u feel even when ur angry and it’s freezing cold outside & u feel that more than anything else, yoongi is home to u

but you can’t say any of that to him so instead u just look down again and say, more softly this time “i’m sorry just,,, go back inside okay? don’t worry about me” and you offer him a weak smile

but to him it’s just completely unconvincing

&when you start to leave he’s completely intending on taking you home and telling you how much he’s sorry bc after all he did kind of ditch u

but he can’t just ditch the girl inside so instead he waits with u by the bus stop

& while youre waiting no one says anything which is funny bc all youve wanted to do these past few weeks is talk to yoongi

"by the way, that girl is in one of my music theory classes. she was helping me polish the song i’ve been working on.”

at this point, you’re feeling a little embarrassed again about the way you’re acting (like a jealous girlfriend)

but you’re stubborn so u just make a sound of acknowledgement

“hey, i’m sorry i haven’t been messaging you. i’ll do better. sorry for making you worry. when i finish my demo track, i’ll take you for dinner ok?”

you nod and see the headlights of the bus coming so you stand up

you feel yoongi link arms with you and you look up to what might possible be the cutest little pout

“please don’t be mad at me” there’s a slight whining in his tone and u cant help but wrinkle ur nose at him, sings of amusement clear on ur face

“good night yoongi” you through him one more weak smile bc you can’t find it in u to offer anything more

he goes back inside after you get on the bus but he can’t focus the rest of the time bc when he was supposed to be thinking about how well certain harmonies complemented each other all he could think about was .... how cute you looked when u were upset?? and how come he though you being angry at him for being w another girl was adorable??

so anyway, the last few adjustments he makes to his track suspiciously has characteristics of a love song

when you get home, u roll around ur bed for a while trying to figure out everything you were feeling before you hear your door ring

when u go to answer it ur surprised to see that it’s yoongi, carrying the bag of food you had left for him ...and another bag from your favorite bakery

when he got home and saw the food you had prepared for him he knew immediately that he shouldn’t have let you leave earlier in the first place, so he figures the next best thing is coming with a bag of apology pastries

“miss me? it’s been a long hour right?” he says before shoving the bag he brought you into your hands “eat with me!”

as he makes his way towards ur small dining table, the weird tension that followed you two earlier dissolves almost completely

and ur enjoying it so much that you don’t even notice that you’re not even eating but instead staring fondly at yoongi

and when he looks up at u curiously, putting down his spoon for a moment and tilting his head bc he can tell there’s something you want to say, you take the opportunity

“sorry for being so weird today, i dont know it was weird i was being weird i shouldn’t have done any of that sorry if i ruined ur night or made you uncomfortable or made that girl u were with uncomfortable i dont know whats wrong with me i had expire yogurt for lunch yesterday maybe that’s it and ur still so nice to me even though i was being so weird and im sorry -”

the words are coming out of ur mouth at a mile a minute bc you’ve been thinking a little 2 much and now that ur finally vocalizing the thoughts, you’re finding it a little hard to stop

thankfully, yoongi also had a little time to think on the way over

and so he doesn’t hesitate to shut you up by leaning forward and placing the softest kiss on your lips before leaning back into his seat, smiling at you like he’s proud of what he did

and you can’t explain why it feels so natural when you kiss & why ur heart feels so warm, but then again you’ve been having trouble explaining a lot of things today

“i love you”

“what?” ur still a little in shock (and the fact that u feel like there are a thousand butterflies in ur stomach isn’t helping)

“i said i love you”

“ok idiot i heard u, but ... what?”

“i love how much u care about me and i love how you get mad at me and i love how happy u can make me and i love how many texts in a row you send me even when i don’t respond and i love-”

this time it was your turn to stop him, in the same way

u can feel him smiling into the kiss and u think to urself that this explains everything youve done today

bc you like him and u always have

“okay, i love you too”

[faunusrights]

a small instance

just a little fic. ive seen/read a lot of instances in fic n stuff where velvet lets coco/friends make little jokes abt her heritage, but sometimes its just a little too much to bear.

Weiss knows better than to make even the most lighthearted Faunus jokes around Velvet.

Scratch that; she knows better than to make any sort of Faunus jokes around any Faunus at all, because it’s really not her place. Even though she’s dating Velvet, she understands that it’ll always be a step too far. Blake will shrug off nicknames like kitty-cat as easily as water off a raincoat, accept the pointed references to catnaps with a roll of their eyes, but Velvet’s… well, Velvet has less of a fuse and more of a pin, never a warning and more a sudden explosion. Which is fair. She’s always said her losing an ear is something she’s over, but Weiss knows better, can see the way she gets distinctly nervous at night. Can see how sometimes people move too fast and she flinches away.

She may be built like a brick wall, every inch of her curved with muscle, but fear is more insidious an attack. No amount of brute force can ever really defend her when the hurt comes from inside your own head.

Still, the point remains that Velvet hates any reference of her being a Faunus as some sort of cheap joke. She’s too prickly for it, and where she might make the odd sly pun towards Blake or another Faunus, every human who has ever attempted has been met with a violent boiling-over.

That’s why Weiss is sat on the sofa in the living room, listening to Velvet who’s locked in a call on her Scroll and giving Coco Adel the biggest dressing-down of her life. If it wasn’t so serious an event Weiss might find it somewhat amusing to hear Velvet’s friend be knocked down a few pegs, but then Velvet snarls in an ugly way and Weiss shrinks into herself.

“No- no, do not apologise to me. You know you’ve fucked up, you know you have-”

There’s a pause, a distant voice stammering out something in reply, and Velvet’s whole body tenses.

“It. Is. Not. Funny! Fuck off, I have to deal with enough fucking dickwads saying the same shit to me when I go outside to put out my fucking trash, Coco!”

The situation is as follows: Velvet was out with Coco and Fox and Yatsu, as ever, because she might be dating a couple of first years but they were the first group of friends Velvet made here at Beacon. Velvet’s lamented the way groups tend to drift apart when shit comes up and things get between people, but ‘CFVY’ (as was named by Coco herself) has stuck together. People always thought they got along like a house on fire, and they do. But sometimes someone fucks up and in this case Coco couldn’t help herself when they all went to nab a quick lunch and when asked what Velvet would like, Coco had made an upbeat joke about that carrot cake is looking real juicy, huh, Velv?, accompanied by a wink and a nudge.

Weiss has gathered from the call that Coco had meant it entirely as a jest between good friends, but Velvet had come home seething. Well, not at first, that is. Initially she’d been stiff with tension and oddly quiet, until she’d cursed out a colourful display of an old, tribal language and grabbed her Scroll. The call that followed is how Weiss gathered pretty much all of the context, and now she’s just watching it play out sentence by gritted sentence, the little room of their student home filled with a tension so taut it may as well have been a knifeblade pushed to the very edge of breaking in two.

“I am mad!” The ways the words crack makes a cool chill run down Weiss’s spine, because that only happens when Velvet’s really riled, every word trembling with emotion. “I am angry! And don’t fucking- don’t tell me I can’t be, because you know I’ve always hated that shit! You know that!”

There’s a long pause, and then Velvet leans over a touch to press against Weiss. She sniffs and it’s snotty, so Weiss reaches over to put an arm across wide shoulders as best she can. Coco’s voice tapers off on the other end, and Velvet sniffs again before the smallest choke of a sob escapes her and she covers her eyes. It hurts to see.

“I- I get this shit all the time and I can’t- I can’t handle my friends doing it too. I’m not an animal; I’m a real goddamn person!”

Distantly a voice says ‘I know that!’ before it fades off, and Velvet waits for almost ten seconds before she snaps again. “Then please just- I don’t care if you apologise. Thank you, but I’d rather you just- don’t do it again.”

Another moment passes. “Alright.” And another. “Okay. Bye.”

The Scroll goes dark against Velvet’s cheek and she pulls it away, staring at the greased screen blankly. Weiss squeezes Velvet’s shoulder in a gesture she hopes is vaguely comforting, and it causes a mumble of acknowledgement. She doesn’t really know what to say in this situation, especially since Velvet is very clearly not okay, but she musters up the confidence to try and offer something.

“I’m… sorry that happened, Velvet.” The words feel too formalised, her upbringing betraying her, and she winces internally.

But Velvet simply sighs, and then nods. “I’m already regretting saying all of that.”

“Don’t. You’re right to be frustrated.”

There’s no response to that, Velvet tossing the Scroll onto the coffee table with a sharp clack of glass on wood, and she drops her head into her hands. Weiss isn’t sure if she’s crying or just trying to collect her thoughts, and then she barks out a short, sharp, “fuck!”

Weiss thinks it sums everything up very neatly, really.

BTS Single Dads

*Gif is not mine

This one……..got away from me a lil’. ^^;

Single Dad!AU - Part One - Part Two - Part Three -

Jin

has a little girl who is most definitely Daddy’s Little Princess™

wears tiaras and tutus at her tea parties and OWNS IT

lets her help him w/ the simple things when he cooks

like washing the vegetables or taste testing

there won’t b a day where jin hasn’t made her the best lunch

is the dad all the moms look like w/ heart eyes

he cries the first day of day care

bc wow…….his baby has grown so much

she is 3 seokjin chill

doesnt know what to do w/o his bundle of joy

b u z z e d  when it’s time to pick up his princess

spots his daughter skipping out but damn near has a heart attack

his baby……his LITTLE GIRL was HOLDING HANDS with a BOY THAT WASN’T HIM

calm yourself seokjin he is a child

“Who’s that pretty girl you’re holding hands with, sweetie?”

your voice chimes from behind him, going over to the two toddlers and affectionately rubbing your son’s head

jin freezes and watches you like…..hey………you’re kinda cute………

snaps out of it when his daughter sees him and squeals

your eyes settle on jin and youre like wow he’s so handsome no wonder his kid’s beautiful??????

you shyly introduce yourself to him and he does the same

then his daughter’s askin him if she can go play with her new friend at the park

now jin’s lookin at two sets of puppy eyes and your pretty smile

next thing he knows these little play dates become regular whenever his schedule is free

n you and him begin to spend time together after dropping your kids off

have lil dates of your own when he doesn’t have shoots n you don’t have work

don’t realize how close you’ve become/how you feel about each other until one day your son calls him ‘dad’ n later on in the day his daughter calls you ‘mommy’

neither of you bother correcting them????

so you just melt into this family unit wordlessly and it all just slips into place, you take care of his daughter whenever his idol life takes up his time

all you know is that if anything were to happen to that man or his daughter, you’d b right there by his side

you know that he feels the same

Suga

his son is literal min yoongi 2.0 

same habits, same eyes, same love for sleep 

even down to his gummy smile

made it easy for yoongi to raise his kid and still pursue his passion for music

whenever he wanted to produce music his son would just take a nap in his arms

yoongi’s lil koala bear, v v clingy even when he’s older

often takes nap w/ his kid lmao

couldn’t b more proud when he says he wants to learn how to play the piano at age 6 after seeing yoongi play it one day

yoongi hires the best private piano teacher for kids i.e. you

first time you see yoongi n his son you’re kinda like  

um???? you sure this kid’s not your clone??????

you begin your lessons easy enough

sometimes, when yoongi had the time, he’d sit n watch

you got real nervous at first but got used it n slowly learnt about them both bit by bit

got v v comfortable with the duo, to the point you’d joke around with them n exchanged personal numbers with yoongi

one day when the lesson was done and yoongi was due to pick his son up from your place, he suddenly called

told you he’d b a while before he could come by, something abt a work emergency and he sounded v distressed

you quickly told him it was fine and that you’d look after his kid no problemo

got off the phone worried, his son looks at you n just says innocently

“my dad thinks you’re cute”

throws you into a loop, a whirlwind of emotions

yoongi’s son just pads away to get a juice box from your fridge

his job is done

yoongi finally comes by n you open up the door with his sleeping son in your arms

before he can say thanks you relay the information his son gave you

look of goddamnit flashes across his face

“i….um……..think you’re cute too…..”

someone help min yoongi he’s fallen and he can’t get up

“…wanna go for dinner?”

J-Hope

is that one dad who carries his new born baby on his front with a one of those cute cuddlebug baby carriers

will fight anything that makes his new born baby daughter cry

which isn’t much bc she takes after her father

generally just a happy baby

always smiling like that baby in the sun on teletubbies

only gets really upset if she’s away from her father for too long

makes it difficult for him to work bc he can’t be on set for long before she starts wailing

tried babysitters before n none of them could calm her down

so happy that everyone’s understanding of him at each shoot tbh

then at one of the shoots he’s introduced to his stylist’s new assistant

you shyly introduce yourself to him quietly, seeing his daughter asleep in her car carrier seat

he started off his shoot pretty well, shooting solidly for half an hour until she woke up and started crying

hoseok quickly apologizes and rushes off to the styling room where he left her, only to hear her wails cease when he was half way there

he gets there n peeks into the room like ????????? where’s my child

you’re sat in one of the empty make up chairs with his daughter on your lap and you’re….singing to her

she’s got her sunshine expression on as she watches you

beside you, you hear jimin call hoseok’s name n you look up all flustered, stuttering and apologizing 

meanwhile……..hoseok’s……..just……..

(๑♡⌓♡๑)

“oh god i’m so sorry i didn’t ask if i could hold her i just don’t like seeing babies cry i wanted to try and calm her down because jimin and taehyung tried to and it didn’t work if you’re angry i totally understand-”

“could you…look after her until the shoot’s done? i promise i’ll make it up to you!”

before you know it you’re job as an assistant is gone and you’re more or less the one who takes care of sunshine 2.0 every shoot

not that you mind bc her cutie sunshine dad’s smile every time he sees you is worth it (plus you love his lil baby)

and he brings you something every shoot as a thanks despite you telling him you were more than happy to take care of his daughter

everyone but you notices how hoseok stares @ you when you’re not looking

other members push him to ask you out, knowing you feel the same way abt him

so at the end of the shoot his daughter’s being clingier than usual and won’t let go of you????? gets fussy when hoseok tries to pry her chubby hands off your top

it’s like she knows about her dad’s feelings n is telling him to hurry tf up bc she likes this one

he just goes pink and asks if you wanna have dinner at his place

you’re just like !!!!!!! yes!

everyone watching cheers, including the rest of bts

hoseok takes your hand n bolts to escape endless teasing

Rap Monster

has the most well mannered and intelligent child

but if left unattended for 0.1 second he’ll manage to break something

like father like son eh?

is also the dad who reads books to his kid, but not actual kid books but books that get the mind thinking, doesn’t care about age bc you can never b to young to b educated

you’re his next door neighbor and also a pediatrician

met him for the first time bc his son fell over outside n started crying

namjoon freaks the f out, thinking the worst thing like his son somehow broke his damn leg

then you come out of your house with oven gloves on like????? strange handsome screaming man………u good?

you invite them into your house and tend to his kid’s deathly wounds of……scraped knees

give ‘em both a cupcake that you finished baking and make namjoon coffee

get to know the both of them and quickly build a friendship w/ joonie

you think his son is the sweetest thing on this earth bc he’s so kind???? and very literate for his age

you swap book and movie recommendations

they actually stay for a couple of hours and help you make dinner

and you’re like ?????? how in the?????

neither of you know exactly how this situation has happened

but neither of you deny that it somehow feels…………right????

at the end of their impromptu stay you supply him with a basic first aid kit(just in case) and a few more cupcakes before they’re on their way

he never uses that first aid kit, always comes straight to you

cant really find yourself to mind, you let em both in every time

everything in your relationship really isn’t planned it just…..happens

he comes over when his kid’s in school to get to know you better

one thing leads to another and suddenly you’re cuddling and watching a movie and kissing???

when it’s not joon, it’s his son that just comes to your house bc he finds your job interesting, you in general tbh

made his dad freak out the first time though, joonie was yelling and knocking on your door

“HAVE YOU SEEN MY SON NEMO, HE’S SMALL AND CLUMSY LIKE ME”

“……buddy…………didn’t you tell your dad you’d be over here………?”

“uhhhh……..whoops……?”

namjoon thanks every holy deity that you moved in beside him

he knows that you’d have no issues taking care of his kid and you’d be the safest pair of hands to leave him w/

Jimin

tiny squishy teddy bear raising a tinier squishy teddy bear

his lil boy shares his round cheeks and his precious killer eye smile

ALSO loves to sing just like papa

jimin’s phone is filled with videos of his toddler singing to himself

likes to watch them when he cant be w/ him bc of work

very social bab and gets along well with others

also plays well by himself, honestly he’d be happy singing to himself in the sandbox

all is well as long as he never parts with the mochi plush he’s had since he was a baby

refuses to do anything if he doesn’t have that plushie w/ him

will literally walk away from jimin if he accidentally dropped his plushie w/o realizing

that’s actually how you met the squish

you were walking your dog when you heard a child singing and you turned like ??????

who is this child why is he alone and not at the playground with all the kids

you go over to the tiny child bc what else were you supposed to do?? leave him um no

you go over and ask if he’s okay and he just tells you he’s lost his friend momo

he describes momo while petting your dog and you figure out he’s talking about a plushie and offer to help him

so now you’re carrying child in one arm and your dog’s leash in your other hand

you end up finding momo the mochi plush in the sandbox

the bab in your arm squeals and gives you his best eye smile when he has momo

now onto a different task - to find the bab’s father

doesn’t take long honestly

just walking around with a singing child in your arm then BAM

a man who looks like he’s about to cry rushes up to you, he would know his baby’s voice from a mile away

at first your just like uhhhh then the bab reaches for jimin, unaware of the breakdown he caused his father to have

que jimin cuddling his son for a while with his son like ^-^?

“ahhh, thank you so much for taking care of him…i don’t know what i’d do if i couldn’t find him……thank god he found someone so nice….”

“it’s okay!! it was no trouble at all honestly”

he offers to take you to lunch w/ them

you blink and suddenly two pairs of eye smiles are directed at you and LORD HAVE MERCY YOU WERE NOT PREPARED

after that day you keep bumping into them, so much that his son remembers your name n you’ve exchanged numbers

jimin knows he has to make a move when his bab has made up a lil song he sings when he sees you

someone send help how’re you supposed to deal with the amount of eye smiles they give you when you see them

V

has twins, 1 boy 1 girl

it’s like someone did ctrl + c then ctrl + v on his boxy smile and put it on his kids

literal pack of puppies with taehyung as the alpha puppy

pack of adorable + v well dressed puppies

two modes of fashion

1) all three ready to step out onto a runway 

or 2) animal onesies all day every day

doesn’t believe in those child leashes so they travel in a holding hands chain

that means if one gets lost they all get lost

but hey at least they’re not separated lmao

they are the family who gets lost in ikea

the puppy pack are in their matching puppy onesies, tae pushing the shopping cart along that contained his pups

in a part of ikea they probably shouldnt b in

you are also lost and confused

also wearing a dog onesie bc you came w/ your friends but ended up getting separated

the twins see you are and immediately turn to tae like SHE’S ONE OF US WE NEED TO ASK HER IF SHE WANTS TO COME WITH US

you hear them and turn around like ?????

three sets of boxy smiles are facing you

inside your mind ‘o no thEYRE CUTE’

you end up sticking w/ them and have tons of fun as you try n find your way out

take turns sitting in the shopping cart w/ the twins n pushing each other 

twins quickly like fall in love w/ you……lmao bless…….

but both you and tae can see yourselves spending more time together???

great minds think alike

you find the check out eventually, all giggly and happy

everyone’s looking at the puppy pack ft you like family goals

an old couple actually come up to you guys

“you’re such a cute family!! we remember when we were your age w/ our kids!! we wish you a happy n bright future!!!”

you and tae are bright red like “uhhhhh”

meanwhile, the twins, “thank you!!!!” (◕ ワ ◕✿)

when youve found your friends and it’s time to say goodbye the twins get v sad and clingy

ngl you got a lil teary seeing their sad lil faces

you end up exchanging numbers w/ tae and promise his twins you’d see ‘em again

you give ‘em lil smooches on the cheek to make them smile

also quickly kiss tae on the cheek then BOLT

meanwhile, your friends ( ͡° ͜ ʖ ͡° )

Jungkook

save him

he’s a baby taking care of a baby

v scared of doing anything wrong

thanks whatever higher being everyday bc his son is so chill

knows he would have suffered(more) if his child was not chill

also thanks higher beings for you falling into his life

bc before you hoo boy…………he  s t r u g g l e d

you found him at the grocery store

he was holding his sleeping baby and looking at the shelves of diapers like he was trying to diffuse a bomb

youre a babysitter so you just went up to him just like……..are u okay…….u dont seem…..okay………..

nochu looks at you like you’re an angel sent from above

you can tell right off the bat that it’s his first kid and that he didn’t have anyone to help him out

you babysat for single parents for most the time so you knew how to spot one

you gave him your best tips on childcare and he hangs onto your every word

by the time youre at the check out, you give him your number and tell him that if he needs any help then just call

you find yourself over at his place after you figure out that he’s more of a hands on learner than a leaner who can have instructions told to him over the phone

tbh you don’t mind at all bc he’s fun to be around and his baby is the chillest baby youve ever met

you end up getting rlly close to the point youve met his friends, he’s met yours

even your parents know about each other and urging you to get together already smh

you dont realize how often youre around at kookie’s place until one day you cant go over for a couple of days bc youre at your parents’ place

on the second day youre away you get a million missed calls from kookie

once you call back he almost cries in relief n tells you his bab won’t stop crying no matter what

however…….the moment he puts you on speaker…..

his bab…..stops….????

so you and kook experiment for a bit on the call n you stay silent for a bit

then the cryin starts again but then you start talking

s i l e n c e

then kookie asks shly if you mind giving him a call every so often

you can tell he’s blushing

“sure kookie i dont mind tbh i miss you guys”

then you just quietly hear

“…….god i could kiss you…….”

………….

“damnit jungkook why do you have to say that now?”

“h-huh? wait- you weren’t supposed to-”

“you better kiss me when i get home or i’m gonna hit you”

“o-oh!”

GOT7: Jackson Wang ver. | Park Jinyoung ver. 

[lelianassong]

i just rly need some advice if that’s okay ? i just have this rly toxic friend but she sits next to me in form & s just everywhere i go and i’m so stuck. so like in june i have a levels, but i train every single morning of the week bcos i’m an aspiring skeleton racer outside of academic pursuits (i get rly anxious telling ppl that bcos they think it’s dumb but !!!! who cares) but my “friend” constantly fucking puts me down & im on the verge of just losing it tbh (1/?)

“i just don’t think it’ll happen for u, it’s a rly obscure goal” “instead of training u should actually socialise, ur gonna lose everyone” and when one of our mutual friends asks me abt something to do with skeleton like at lunch or something she honestly sits there and goes “not this skeleton shit again hahaha” like ? oh my god? she talks about herself all the fucking time, it’s her only conversation starter, but i can’t be passionate about a PERSONAL goal ?? oh & something else. usually i ignore her comments but one time last week someone asked me what uni i wanted to go to and before i could even open my own fucking mouth she goes “oh !! she’s taking a gap year to pursue skeleton before uni. she trains every day you know” in such a snide way and i just blew up and told her to fuck off & stop being a jealous cunt and she walked away from our friends at lunch lmao but ? i train so fucking hard & all i get is abuse and idk what to do bcos she’s ALWAYS THERE ?!!!!!!! (3/3)

Holy shit, your ‘friend’ sounds like a real piece of fucking work. Honestly, I’d have distanced myself from her by now because there is no way that I could handle anyone being so rude and dismissive of my passions. Like I dealt with it a lot myself, I had a friend who would glaze over the moment I would take a breath to start talking and so I just removed myself from the situation in which I talked to her everyday.

It’s hard when someone wont leave well enough alone. It might be worthwhile having a conversation with her about why she treats you like shit. There could be a reason and it might help her reevaluate herself and her behaviour a bit more, If it doesn’t... well clearly she isn’t mature at all and it’s best just to try and remove yourself from that environment.

In truth, you have a REALLY cool passion! Like how she can continue to shit on skeleton, especially with how popular the Winter Olympics is, is baffling to me? The best thing to do really is to just ignore her and her bullshit because it takes a whole lot of dedication and passion to pursue skeleton in the way in which you are doing. Also, that’s a way more interesting thing to be pursing than simply ‘being social’. You have to follow your dreams and ignore the people who like to shit on them because it seems to me like there’s something missing in her life that’s she’s simply taking out on you. Take pride in what you do and if she says any more shit, just try ignoring her with a cool: ‘Anyway, as I was saying...’ Talk about your passion and don’t let anyone’s bullshit get to you. They’re simply not worth your time.
