Sorry. Thinking about Toga's accidental autism again

She is a classic case of character that acts weird because they weren't socialized properly/had a fucked up childhood but whoops you just made them autistic.

She struggles to understand the difference between platonic and romantic attraction/affection and thinks being fond of/attracted to someone means she has to not only be like them but become them in a literal sense

Learns via mimicry hence the above points and her particular fixation with Ochako and Izuku since they're some of the few people her age she's seen show signs of unconditional kindness with their friends

Wore a 'mask' trying to conform to the behavioral expectations of her peers and parents and was miserable until she couldn't keep going

Goal is to make the world an easier place for her to live and be herself

As a little kid she bit herself to drink her own blood (reads as unsafe stimming to me ngl)

Shes seen more than once shaking her hands when excited (also stimming)

Got called demonic and inhuman as a little kid due to her unusual behavior (honestly reminiscent of how autistic/disabled kids would be accused of being changelings and stuff for their 'unnatural' way of being and unfortunately this is still a sentiment some hold even now)

Immediately written off for her behavior, never had why it wasn't okay fully explained and was never given a chance

Nonexistent emotional regulation due to the above point. Hence why atp she embraces inflicting pain because she was never taught how to use her quirk in a controlled environment or safe way

Quite literally autistic child failed by the system (quirk counseling or whatever)

Toga is a weird girl among weird girls, a little freak I hold dear in my heart..

Colours and ISAT (spoilers ahead!)

I wanted to talk about colours and In Stars and Time today- I wanted to talk about specifically how colours work in isat and how silly goofy things could look if they could suddenly see colours. Because colour disappearing is something that happened a long time ago, there is a chance that the dye techniques have cahnged. While some things wouldn't change- such as being able to identify snow as white, who's to say the way they make fabrics and threads grey has changed slightly- because if a flower that was previously yellow and a flower that was previously blue separately make the same colour grey thread- who's to say that eventually they're used together to weave a fabric that looks like it's one shade of grey that in fact is patches of blue and yellow together? :)

So... I did a little experimenting. lol. Pardon the way everyone is drawn I was rushing so I could get to the fun part (the colouring of the clothes).

The greyscale version of the drawing is actually just the saturation turned down to 0! I took some liberties (I removed pure black and pure white from the drawing so i could play with the colours more)

If you wanna see more about how I did it (and how you could too) please read more below! teehee :)

So what I did was make a little program. teehee

Please don't mind the stylization of it, but basically you put in a number of lightness (0-255) and it creates a bunch of colours that when put at 0 saturation, produces the same grey! basically you just need to know the lightness of the grey you're going for and it should spit out a bunch of colours! You can find this out by changing to RGB and there should be one value in all three lines that are the same: in this case it's 150 and that's what you'd enter into the program!

if you want to see it, it's here! password is: stardust

I had a lot of fun talking about this; it's something that I talked about while i was streaming because I was so excited by the idea. I wonder if anyone else has thought of this!!! teehee :) If you do fiddle with this please let me know it's so fun I'd love to see what you do!

Price, Ghost, Soap, Extra

 Gaz won’t lie about how he feels entitled to you. He’s very vocal about how he was the first person you felt comfortable with. He was given a comfort place within your heart, long before any of his teammates started working on craving themselves a spot as well. Unlike with them, you came to him. He wasn’t an alpha like Price or Ghost. And yet, you still came to him first, bearing your heart for him to claim like a -slightly forcefully- proposal. You didn’t cling onto Soap. You didn’t seek the beta out for stability when you were thrown with little care into this team filled with strangers you had never met before. It was him you clung onto. You were his shadow, following him wherever he went. It was the back of his trainers that got stepped on, followed by a quiet “sorry” when you didn’t stop fast enough after he stopped walking. And it was with this entitlement to you that Gaz came up with his nickname for you; Lovie. 

   When you aren’t able to leave the dead where their bodies lay on the dirty and blood pooled floors. Carrying the feeling of violence and the fight for survival with you home along with the blood that is drying at your skin. Where any other person will go searching for an alpha for comfort, instinctually reaching out to their alphas to protect them. You instead end up standing outside of Gaz’s door. When you go searching for comfort and shelter, it is Gaz’s face that comes to your mind, breaking through the muffling static and stifling fog. It is to the point that you don’t even knock anymore. It has to be telepathy the way that Gaz always knows when you’ll be showing up to his door. (When in reality he just pays close attention to you on the rides back to base after every mission. He has taught himself the language of your eyes. It is your eyes that tell him you’ll be showing up to his room.) You are left waiting outside his door for only a quarter of a minute before he’s opening the door for you. A softer version of his usual smile on his lips. “Hey, Lovie. Wasn’t expecting you to drop by.” You both know he was expecting you. You just don’t know that he was pacing impatiently on the other side of the door waiting for your arrival. He envelopes you into a hug (in the hallway, in the view of anyone looking), before wrapping an arm around your shoulders and guiding you into his room. The door locks behind you. It’s broken, Gaz told you, and locks anytime it closes. “Go ahead and sit at the nest-” “But I’m dirty.” “-make yourself comfortable. I’ll go get some washcloths to clean you up, Lovie.” It is routine by now. It was a stability you’ve fully submitted to. Speaking like you’re reading from a script. It is a play you two have played in a handful of times, and one you will play multiple more times. You barely hesitate now. You watch as Gaz disappears into his personal washroom, the dingy yellow light spilling from the opened door. Waiting until you hear the sink turn on, before you follow the path you took last time, and every time before that, to where Gaz has his nest made up on his bed. Your rehearsed steps worn into the floor. When the sink turns off, is when you sit at the edge of the bed. Gaz holds the washcloth in hand as he walks over to you. The clothes color faded and stained. He kneels at your feet, getting comfortable on the hard cold floor, while you sit on the edge of comfort and warmth of the nest. “Give me-” You are holding your blood stained hands out to him before he can finish his line. You’re early, and before you can retract, he gently grabs hold of your right hand. “Good job. I didn’t even have to ask this time.” He shoots you a grin. 

   The gentle warmth of the washcloth starts to bring you back to him. The blood that haunts your mind being washed away just like the blood on your hands. “Lovie,” Your mouth opens a little, to mouth along with his words, “you really should start wearing gloves. Then we’d just need to toss them in the wash after missions.” He playfully tsks at you. As if he is scolding you for not wearing knee pads while riding a bike, instead of gloves to stop blood from seeping into the callouses of your hands. Calloused hands that you are being so cautious with as Gaz washes them. Only ever allowing yourself the lightest of contact with him, as if anything too heavy will harm him. He notices. He notices every time, and every time he holds onto your hands tighter and refuses to let you slip away. He knows you fear your own body around him. Gaz knows you fear what others have taught you to fear about yourself. And he refuses to allow that fear to keep your love away from him. Not when it so rightfully belongs to him. Not when it so naturally seeks him out at every turn. Gaz refuses to let the fears others have forced upon you to rob him of the comfort and warmth that is his to indulge in freely. You are not allowed to run away and hide from him. Not when you were the one that handed him your love to begin with. You’re not allowed to try and take it away from him now; your love is all his.

The Bats and Conditional Love

The thing about the Batfamily is that love has always been conditional.

It’s not something they talk about—not outright, not ever—but they all know it. They’ve all learned it, one way or another.

Make one wrong move, and the consequences aren’t just a lecture or a slap on the wrist. Make one wrong move, and suddenly, you’re not included in the group chat. You’re left out of family dinners. Game nights happen without you. They’ll keep you in the field—because the mission always comes first—but the silence back at the manor will be deafening.

It’s not a punishment, not really. It’s just the way things are.

Bruce drilled it into them without meaning to, teaching them that Gotham comes first, always. The mission is priority number one. Family comes second. Love is a distant third.

They all learned the rules early: loyalty is earned, respect is conditional, and love—if you’re lucky enough to get it—is fragile. A single misstep is all it takes to break it.

Dick was the first to learn it, the golden child who fell from grace when he walked away. Even now, when he’s come back, there’s a part of him that always feels like he’s making up for lost ground. Like the warmth of the family could vanish again if he’s not careful.

Jason learned it the hard way, clawing his way back into a family that mourned him but couldn’t quite forgive him for coming back wrong. He doesn’t take their love for granted, because he knows exactly what it feels like to be left out in the cold.

Tim learned it in the quiet ways—sideways glances, stiff silences, the way the family will never say outright that he’s not really one of them. He’s the stand-in, the patch, the one they never quite know what to do with. He knows he has to earn his place every single day, and even then, it’s not guaranteed.

Steph learned it when she was cast out, exiled, forced to prove herself time and again just to be allowed in the same room. She doesn’t expect them to love her, not really. She’s just grateful they let her stay.

Damian learned it in reverse, because love was never something he was taught. It was something he had to figure out, slowly, painfully, and every time he missteps, he braces himself for it to be taken away.

Cass learned it differently. Love was an unknown to her for so long—a foreign language she wasn’t sure she’d ever understand. She thinks, sometimes, that she’s learned it, that she’s part of their family, but she also knows how easily things can crumble. She’s seen it happen. She’s felt it, the way the family can splinter and push people out. And if it happens to her, she’s not sure she’ll know how to piece herself back together.

Duke learned it from watching. He’s new, and the others don’t let him forget it. He sees the way they orbit each other, how they gravitate together and pull apart, the way they hold each other at arm’s length sometimes even when they’re standing shoulder to shoulder. Duke doesn’t know where he fits yet, not really. He’s not sure they’ll ever let him in all the way. But he keeps trying, keeps hoping, because it’s better than the alternative.

Even Alfred, steady and unshakable, feels it sometimes—the conditional nature of this family, the way they fracture and rebuild themselves over and over again. He does his best to hold them together, but he knows better than anyone how easily they can fall apart.

They all know.

And it’s not malicious. It’s not cruel. It’s just the way they’ve been shaped—by Gotham, by the mission, by Bruce’s unrelenting drive.

Love is conditional. It’s a privilege, not a right.

And they know, deep down, that one wrong move could take it all away.

me resisting my urge to write for batfam x reader stuff specifically just because there seems to be a major lack of gn/male reader batfam content:

[misterbenzadrine]

hawkmetri headcanons !! (might keep adding on) (also a lot of this is me projecting on them)

demetri

queer/unlabeled

has adhd/add but not diagnosed

yaps and doesn't realize it's not always appropriate

raised by a single mom

his mom forced him to join soccer around six/seven years old but after he got hit in the face with the soccer ball all season and somehow got stuck in the goal net, she didn't push him to rejoin (or any other sport for that matter)

on that note, he seemed to get hit in the head a lot as a kid (softballs, kickballs, basketballs, volleyballs, soccer balls, etc.) so he definitely never picked up a sport before karate

some of his favorite characters include: hal jordan, the ninth doctor, obi-wan, padmé amadala, nyota uhura, and his fav pokemon is zubat

doesn't care for marvel and thinks dc shows are 100000000x better than marvel project BUT he does like reed richards and wanda maximoff (this doesn't mean he really cares to consume any marvel media, he just knows of them and likes their personalities)

became obsessed with watching the guild, dimension 20, and Rejected by don hertzfeldt on a loop fifth to seventh grade

really likes 1984 (the book and the movie)

listens to the beatles, the smiths, weird al, car seat headrest and weezer (not in an "i'm a loser" cool way, but in the most actual loser way possible) (it's just music his mom played when he was little) (he doesn't really care for music but he'll listen to it from time to time and think of her)

interested in physics, engineering, and robotics and MIT-BOUND BABYYYY

likes mel brooks movies (especially History of the World Part 1 and Spaceballs)

outside of hawk, he spends most of his time with sam, moon, and yas and is considered "one of the girls" (not that he particularly enjoys that title or the way the rest of the miyagi do guys make fun of him for it but he gets to spend all day with hot rich girls and they don't so joke's on them)

occasionally, tory and devon will join sam, moon, yas, and demetri for a girls' day. tory's not really enthusiastic but demetri notices that she does feel more included knowing she has friends outside of devon and robby. (she never remembers demetri's name though, he thought it was an ongoing bit but she genuinely doesn't seem to know who he is other than "the gangly kid that follows hawk around")

other than anthony and nate, demetri surprisingly has a great bond with devon. although she's closest with tory, she enjoys spending time with demetri and talking about debate structure and movies

the absolute gremlin that he is DEVOURS sour candy which definitely caused more than a few health problems in middle school but he still revels in whatever he can get his hands on

hawk

bisexual

autistic (got diagnosed right after his s4 buzzcut spiral and his mom thought a psychologist might help)

(i think this is like fanon atp but) his parents are rich and his dad is always away on business trips, leaving him alone with his mom more often than not

has a pretty short social battery and sometimes still slips back into pre-hawk eli who'd let demetri do all the talking

he likes being loud and social but he gets really tired after hangouts and takes long naps afterward (his whole time in cobra kai was exhausting and he's definitely grateful the miyagi do kids don't seem to mind when he goes a little nonverbal)

his parents tried to push him to join the other kids in public but he just wanted to stick by their side

his parents consistently tried to sign him up for things but he either never went bc he didn't want to or he was scared of getting made fun of

nighttime stress and sleep enuresis persisted up until around sophomore year (right about when he "flipped the script") and shut himself down any time his parents tried to talk to him about it (not even just nonverbal, bro straight up would ignore them and walk away)

didn't want to admit it but he really liked bo burnham starting around 13

some of his fav characters: bruce banner, han solo, padmé amadala, war doctor, the tenth doctor (also really likes the eighth doctor), his fav pokemon are serperior and glaceon

doesn't really know dc (he feels like the characters are overpowered and oversaturated) but LOVES jason todd and conner kent (literally watched Batman: The Killing Joke so many times that his dvd started scratching and he had to replace it) (he also loved Young Justice)

(got this from a fanfic but it was perfect) LOVED the dead poets society

(also from a fanfic) fav episode of dr who is "the girl in the fireplace" bc it reminds him of demetri

liked the thirteenth doctor but still prefers moffat's writing

tried drawing throughout middle school, mainly to draw out his blueprints and dnd oc's but it didn't really go anywhere

interested in biochemistry, engineering, and architecture but not entirely sure what he actually wants to do

also likes photography but more as a hobby, not as a career

listens to nirvana, kendrick lamar, and mac miller (tried getting into guns n roses, metallica, and poison when he first joined cobra kai but didn’t really like 80s rock) (definitely credits miguel for getting him into kendrick lamar) (occasionally listens to tyler the creator and frank ocean, esp after coming out)

has meltdowns and when he was younger his parents never knew how to handle them, usually waiting for him to calm down on his own (which usually only made him angrier and more lonely)

other than anthony and bert, he gets along pretty great with kenny, both bonding with robby over their mutual asshole history and understanding each other as bullied kids turned assholes. they help each other work on their anger and hawk gives kenny tips on new moves

hawkmetri !!

watched the star wars prequel trilogy RELIGIOUSLY at almost every sleepover when they were little (though they recognize they maybe aren't the best, they're nostalgic for the films)

watched the new trilogy together (the rise of skywalker coming out around or after the sekai taikai which set a little damper on things) and they lowkey wondered why finnpoe wasn't a thing (though they weren't avid shippers) and they HATED the reylo kiss

they did however both feel a little heart skip when ben defected from the dark side to defend rey (deja vuuuu)

demetri dragged eli along for his journey through "the greatest films in history" which included a viewing of La Jetée and Dead Poets Society (which eli liked way more than demetri did), and 1984 and Chinatown (which demetri liked a lot more than eli)

they also watched Rebel Without a Cause but neither really cared for it and didn't get the hype

when they first met, eli didn't want to leave his parents' side (for normal child separation anxiety) and they worried how he'd get adjusted in school with his anxiety and surgery scar but demetri marched right up to him, only focused on his inaccurate episode five luke skywalker shirt that used a photo from episode four before he had the facial scars from the wampa attack (which then devolved into demetri, unprompted, explaining the behind the scenes reason for the wampa attack)

much to his parents' surprise and delight, eli opened up to demetri and was okay with them leaving for the day (both eli's parents and demetri's mom were relieved they were both able to make a friend their first day of kinder and stick by each other’s side even when school got harder)

eli spent a while coding a website for him and demetri to organize their dnd campaigns (which only ever involved the two of them)

demetri spent a lot of their time apart (both through cobra kai and the mit fight) going through the website to pass the time rereading the plots to their games (and if he silently wondered where this version of his best friend went, he never said it aloud)

sometimes while building their lego models, coding (at coding camp or otherwise), or building robots for the robotics team, they play a mix of midwest emo, indie alt, rap, and rock (not that they particularly listen to it or like it, they just need something that’ll blend in the background)

eli really likes mario kart (which he played a lot with miguel and the original cobra kai team) but demetri prefers super smash bros (where he mains kirby and king deedee)

demetri was THIRLLED when eli became hyperfixated on jason todd and conner kent and hoped this would be his introduction to dc. he later realized eli didn't really hyperfixate on the characters in their entirety as much as just Batman: The Killing Joke and Young Justice specifically (he was a little disappointed but he still got him the Batman: The Killing Joke graphic novel for his bday which was a very treasured gift)

they actually made another embarrassing binary bros video after the first one (just talking about something they coded together for like ten minutes) but hawk deleted it bc it was too embarrassing and he was mad at demetri at the time (he doesn't know demetri kept it on a flash drive)

they both had huge crushes on padmé amadala (a big motivator for watching the prequel trilogy so often)

star wars is so intrinsic to their relationship actually and every time they rewatch, obi-wan and c-3po remind hawk of demetri and luke skywalker and poe remind demetri of hawk

demetri mandated "rehabilitation-community service" for hawk to earn his trust back (they both knew demetri forgave him at the dec 19th fight but hawk went along with it bc he really did want to make it up to demetri and didn't want to waste any second he could spend with his best friend) in which he was "forced" to watch nerd stuff with demetri, including Lord of the Rings, Star Wars episodes 1-6, Doctor Who season 11, Batman: The Killing Joke, and Spaceballs (he makes sure to make an extra scene of the batman movie: "I know you HATE DC, but this one is OKAY. If you don't like it, we can just skip it. Matter of fact, you'll probably hate it. Let me just put on Justice League, WAY BETTER DC project if you ask me. You'll love it.") (eli knows demetri's messing around but he hopes he never forgets what he loves and who he is again so demetri never has to wonder where his best friend went again)

demetri wasn't the PERFECT solution to hawk's meltdowns but he did seem to have a sixth sense for when they were imminent and what hawk was feeling (and never really brought it up after the fact so as to not embarrass his best friend)

kid demetri usually tried talking him through his frustration then would try to make him laugh once he'd calmed down (which hawk GREATLY appreciated as a kid and as an adult bc demetri seemed to actually listen to his feelings and what he wanted)

teen/adult demetri is apparently more emotionally mature and has breathing exercises with hawk and tries to have a full conversation once the worst of the meltdown has passed (hawk thinks it's a little bullshit but he goes along anyways and it works every time) (demetri obviously learned this from sam, yas, and moon)

they both get along really well with anthony, much to everyone's surprise. with kenny, the four of them talk about dungeon lord, play super smash bros, and the two older teens even try to talk the younger ones into joining a dnd campaign with them

there's one day when miyagi do is training/hanging out at the park and somehow demetri and kenny agree to race each other. kenny narrowly wins and demetri argues that if they had raced when he was the same age as kenny, he would've been faster ("I was more aerodynamic then, I was a stringbean, of course I could run faster! This is ageism, it's not fair I'm one foot in the grave, he's still young and spry! No, I will not stop making a scene, Eli, you remember how fast I was at the mall, this is injustice!")

growing up, demetri definitely had a "i won't do that if there's a chance of it ending terribly" mentality (very pessimistic and stubborn) which kept him and hawk from trying a lot of things. this is why hawk was so surprised to catch up with his best friend before their senior year and find out how much he actually changed. ("Dude, what do you MEAN you went hiking with Miguel and the LaRussos? And you didn’t complain about mountain lions or falling rocks the whole time?" "Yeah, it's wasn't as bad as the time Yasmine tried to teach me how to surf." "...You went SURFING?")

hawk definitely feels a little possessive of demetri, as embarrassing as it sounds. he prefers to think of it as gatekeeping, since he knew how great he was before his lanky best friend suddenly got incredibly popular and has "i liked demetri alexopoulos BEFORE he was cool" written all over his face

despite this however, he's also really grateful for their whole group that protected and pulled demetri from his shell while hawk was in cobra kai (yes even robert patrick swayze keene, the smug bastard who definitely filled hawk's spot next to demetri during film nights)

hawk warns everyone to keep any sour candy away from demetri for his own health and their own sanity (think cat from victorious with bibble)

while demetri has dungeon lord comics in his reading rotation, hawk, kenny, and anthony only casually read, more often than not just stealing demetri's comics while they're over and quickly flipping through the pages. (demetri's only slightly annoyed that they dare to treat him like their supplier then act like they're not as big of dungeon lord nerds as him) (he never mentions it, lest the kid kick his ass or get embarrassed and avoid him, but demetri knows about kenny's dr. scribblebottoms cosplay and thinks it's unfair THAT isn't proof enough that he's just as big a nerd as demetri)

"Still Into You", "All I Wanted", and "The Only Exception" is so hawkmetri-coded

[embryoed]

Something about how Gianni said that Demetri doesn’t handle rejection well. Something about how Demetri literally doesn’t gaf when Yasmine rejects him in 1x09 at the canyon party. Something about how Demetri does gaf when he feels like Eli’s gonna leave him behind again.

and if i said i think frances janvier is autistic what then yall

[recursiverabbit]

something i chicken scratched (i.e. spent no more than 30 minutes on) to try and cheer myself up after what's been a bitter week (might delete later, might not, idk) :v anyway, Arty and Sen canonically have a habit of clowning around and finding out -- I know what they did but I promised them I wouldn't tell anyone

((Btw, this was inspired by some Overwatch art I saw several years ago with McHanzo, but I can’t for the life of me recall the artist… so if anyone knows what I’m talking about (or if this gig is a reference to some show? idk I don't watch TV), plis let me know!))

keith toshko x reader: one single thread of gold tied me to you | sanrio shenanigans

plot: the one where a drink bridges you and keith together. (and it’s not the alcoholic kind)

tags: keith toshko coco meet cute? , cinnamoroll, miffy mention, sanrio obsessed ! reader, fluff, grammatical error

masterlist

it actually frightens keith.

in actuality there’s nothing threatening about a white cartoon bunny with floppy ears and bright blue eyes originating from japan, created by the kawaii focused company that is sanrio…but if you’re keith that has been shoved out of the way and cussed off several times by strangers varying from different ages, well you start to ponder what all the fuss is all about with the cartoon bunny.

it’s as if they’d actually murder him and smash his head clean on the wall if he doesn’t move out of their way to the milktea shop.

keith is fourth in line right now, and as every customer leaves the line the closer he gets the clearer the cartoon bunny becomes in his line of sight. a lineage of toys placed by the counter are visibly seen which he must assume must all be what the fuss must be about.

it’s like happy meals for older people, he thought.

he’s never tried any of the drinks in a shop that predominantly sells milktea but apparently you can only buy the toys if you buy the appropriate refresher for it which comes in avocado dream, avocado pudding and honey jelly watermelon. keith wonders if anyone actually enjoys the refreshers they come with the toy, however he’s pretty sure this is another capitalist scam for hoarders, people with hyperfixations for the cartoon bunny and victims of bandwagon.

keith is the last of those.

surely, there must be something interesting with it though? as a child he enjoyed playing with those little trinkets happy meals gave out but as an adult? any person with a job will definitely struggle with finding time to give themselves a heart stamp from a sanrio character.

maybe it’s a gift? for girlfriends or sisters or maybe sanrio collectors?

keith comes to the realization that he doesn’t know why he came inside the milktea place, got in line and waited for at least 20 minutes for something that he doesn’t find important. now that he’s at least two people away from the counter, he comes to an epiphany that although he has an alright job, he behaves like he doesn’t have one.

there are people who would prize the little trinkets from capitalist scam more than he does but then there’s no harm in what he’s doing, so why not?

suddenly, the person in front of him calls someone to her side.

a hooded figure comes up to the girl in front of him and a hushed but brief exchange of whispers are shared before the person gets out of line and lets her friend take her place in front of him.

a glare is sent to him from the girl as she walks away from the line, likely telling him that she will be back for that toy.

keith traces where the girl is headed towards and it seems it’s towards the restroom until…

something squishy but sturdy is shoved into his arm which makes keith take a small step back, slightly shocked from the sudden force applied on him. from keith’s tall stature, he glances down at what hit him.

it’s a purple translucent bag.

with a shit ton of squishy keychains bundles up together.

keith can spot the cartoon bunny alongside other characters, some he doesn’t recognize but one figure stands out to him the most.

hello kitty.

who needs that many keychains? he practically screams to himself.

keith doesn’t get it. does he look like he doesn’t have a life when he comments on other people’s lives (internally) or is it when he takes a deep hyperfixation on something that really doesn’t matter to him entirely?

he needs a quick answer before he starts losing himself into a void that is sanrio because that keychain hybrid bag is looking pretty sick to him. especially the blue penguin with the hat and bowtie.

“oh my god. i’m sorry.” she immediately apologizes.

how do you define loser behavior? he wonders.

“it’s alright.” he smiles, she smiles back. deep hyperfixations make you look like you don’t care about anything else, and more importantly bland when you make one thing your entire personality. so how in god’s green earth does the person in front of him look more spiced up than he is?

keith notices her hoodie and it’s similar to the keychain figures littered through her bag. a white dog with black floppy ears, it kinda reminds him of snoopy and charlie.

cute.

what?

”i like your bag.” he blurts out.

what.

you turn around again and look down at your bag.

”thanks. it took me a while to get it to…look like that.” you grin.

thank god you didn’t find that awkward.

”where’d you get your hoodie? looks pretty sick.” he adds, seeing you are slowly welcoming him into conversation.

”from japan. a friend gave it to me for my birthday last year.” you eagerly reply, keith notices a glint in your eyes from his small comment. clearly, you enjoy it when people comment on your sanrio things.

”kinda reminds me of snoopy to be honest.” he chuckles.

”ohh…yeah i see it. actually, i used to like snoopy before pochacco.” you explain, “there’s a clear similarity.”

”yeah but the white bunny’s cuter though.” he remarks.

you blink at him several times as the silence soaks up the conversation.

“what.” you utter out, lacking a positive tone.

”i’m pretty sure it’s up for debate but each to our own right?” he pretends to say offhandedly.

did he say something wrong? is it wrong to say that your favorite character is kinda bland? plus didn’t sanrio get sued for trying to copy other people’s characters? like the white bunny with the bland face? he read that on the way here.

“cinnamoroll’s a dog.” you point up at the character banner above the counter.

”…oh.” keith realizes.

before he can say more, a ding rings through the room from the counter calling you to come up and order your drink.

keith is left in a daze.

you peel your metal straw from the satin case it was enclosed in and pop it into your avocado dream refresher then pull out your phone to contact your sister that was taking too long for a quick visit to the bathroom.

when it ends in a voicemail, you inform her you got the drinks and the heart stamp trinket she wanted for herself.

a person clears their voice behind you.

ah…it’s mr. bunny guy.

”hi.” he greets you.

”hey.” you reply. you urge him to sit in front of you with a wave of a hand.

”thanks…i won’t take too much of your time so yeah…” he stumbles with his words, “i noticed you didn’t get one for yourself so…here.”

he sets a cinnamoroll surprise toy on the table and this makes you stop sipping your drink. you glance at his other hand and notice he got the watermelon jelly one.

“oh…you don’t have to. i don’t mind the entire thing earlier.” you smile to ease him.

”i’m not really a fan of the entire sanrio thing, not that there’s anything wrong with it. it just never really piqued my interest.” he offers.

”i can see that.” you raise your eyebrow.

”so why go here?” you follow up.

“i honestly don’t know. i’m more of a coffee guy to be honest.” he mumbles shyly.

“i like coffee too, but only if there’s seasalt in it.” you grin at him. your phone begins to ring and a familiar ring tone emerges through the air with your sister’s caller id lighting up.

”oh shit. seems like you got some place to be. um…sorry to take up your time. again i’m sorry for that thing earlier.”

”no! wait.” you call out to him before he gets up from the chair.

you shuffle at your bag for something and it takes a few minutes for you to find what you’re looking for in that puffy keychain hybrid bag. a smile erupts on your face when you see the item you’re looking for, you pull it out and hand it to him.

it’s a blue penguin with a sailor’s hat.

”it’s for you.” you eagerly offer to him, “in exchange for the toy.”

keith stares at the keychain in amusement and doesn’t have the heart to tell you he doesn’t know who the hell this little thing between your hands is.

”his name’s tuxedo sam.” you roll your eyes at his amusement, “ i noticed you eyeing him earlier at the counter.”

keith beams at your offer and slowly takes it from your palm. he gives it a light squeeze before slinging it in his index finger.

”thanks.”

”you better take care of him.” you state in a half serious tone, “ do you wanna hang out?” the mood shifts.

”sure…sure. what about your sister?” he asks.

”i’ll just give this to her then we’re on our own.” you gesture at the cooler bag with the drink and toy inside it.

you both get up from the chair but not before you tuck in the cinnamoroll toy in your bag. keith toys with the keychain you gave him as you both head out of the milktea shop.

”so…what do you do for work?”
