I think Aventurine has nightmares about his past.
Warning: mildly suggestive content
You're sleeping soundly in your bed until quiet groans and a panicked voice wake you up.
"Don't. Stop. Please, no, no. Don't. Don't."
You look over and see Aventurine clenching his fists and teeth, tears spilling from the corners of his eyes and staining his pillow.
As expected, he was asleep.
This happened every few months. The very first time, you woke him up and tried to comfort him, asking him what happened and if he wanted to talk about it.
He blinked his eyes, trying to get rid of the terror of whatever he was seeing in his dream. You had never seen him look so scared before. The confident, cocky gambler who always won was nowhere to be found. His multi-colored eyes glistened from his tears.
But you only got to see it for an instant before his usual confident expression replaced it, wiping at his eyes.
"I'm sorry, did I wake you?" He asked, voice impossibly smooth.
You were taken aback at how quickly he changed, "yeah but it's okay... Are you okay?" You asked again.
He chuckled, "of course. Don't worry your pretty little face. Just a bad dream."
"What was it about?"
His eyes grew distant for a split second before replying, "nothing. I just lost a bet."
"Did you lose something important in that bet?"
"Nope. And in fact, I think I was about to win it all back." He grinned.
Your brow furrowed. What kind of bet would leave Aventurine in tears but not be important? It didn't make sense. You were about to say as much when he moved closer to you, kissing your jaw and down your neck.
"Aventurine what—"
"Shh, let me put you back to sleep. It's my fault you woke up."
He sucked on the space connecting your neck and shoulder and moved his hand down your body, knowing just what to do to have you melting under him.
Thoughts of his dream were lost amongst the sounds of your sighs and bodies together.
Aventurine did indeed put you back to sleep, but when you woke up the next morning, he was gone. Nothing but a note that said he had urgent business and wouldn't be back for a few days. Even his texts to you were short. It felt like he was avoiding you.
After about a month, things mostly went back to normal, but he didn't stay the night again until almost 6 months after the incident, always finding an excuse to leave, no matter how late it was.
Which is why now, whenever he had these nightmares, you didn't wake him. Instead, you just laid there, listening to his quiet sobs and pleas. Sometimes shedding your own tears for him.
He was a guarded person, and you realized you didn't know much about his past, but you hoped one day he would confide in you. That one day your gambler would take a gamble on you and share his pain. But until then, you would just stay by his side, so when he awoke from whatever horrors he was reliving, he would see you there: an anchor, a light, hope to sleep again and dream of a morrow without pain.

If you date enough people you can in theory pipe their flirts between them like a man-in-the-middle attack to bypass the panic of writing your own flirts. Tho this may be frowned upon despite only being a step removed from neurotypical learning algorithms so it's hard to detect.

(Ask for the new au tails)
hey? You can hear us, right? If you can I have a question. Is sonic the only person you know? You know, the hedgehog?
“Why aren’t you letting me answer this one?”

in a similar vein to the non-verbal ghoulia discourse, there's a tiktok going around of someone swearing that g1 lagoona is canonically indigenous and g3 got rid of that
1. she is not, it's a harmless headcanon but it's not intended
2. lagoona can still be interpreted as indigenous-coded in g3, moreso than g1 imo, see: the episodes about the sea monster talisman (this person admits they haven't looked into g3 much; sounds awfully familiar)
3. this person said g3 lagoona is of spanish descent, which is untrue and ignorant as hell! she's honduran
4. the person saying all of these things is white, do with that what you will
