tmz_tv Elvis star Austin Butler and his fiancé’s stint as Hollywood’s own 90 day fiancé episode is nearing it’s close! Y/N was spotted at Brisbane Airport with an assistant and the couple’s five year old, along with enough bags to supply a small army, an onlooker told TMZ.

abfan35 okay but as a strictly ‘sweatshirt and leggings girlie’ at the airport i commend her for actually looking cute

abfan2 they might have an overnight layover or flight that she brought different clothes for, traveling from australia is a beast

rando76 Is he sure that’s his kid? Both him and mama are pretty tall and lanky. She looks tiny for a 5 year old.

rando4 that happens sometimes, genes are weird.

abfan2 freak

abfan86 austin must be so excited i’m so happy for all of them 😭

make a story/outline based on these emojis. (The messier/more nonsense the better)

"Fuck you, Alex," taunted Monty, eyes wild like a hungry dog. There was something attractive about Standall, even though he was so fucking annoying.

Alex raised his eyebrows, blue eyes hard and cold like ice.

"Okay, Montgomery," he said flatly, putting on the dark sunglasses he'd been wearing on top of his head. Not that it made a difference, given how unreadable his eyes were.

"Okay?" Monty choked on the word, wondering if Alex was fucking with him. He had to be fucking with him. A twist of suppressed desire tightened in his chest. Would he fuck Alex if he asked? Monty swallowed the question without answering.

Alex leaned in, voice low and even, breath hot on Monty's neck, and whispered, "Unless you aren't man—"

Loud rhythmic beeping sounded in Monty's ears. He slapped the snooze button with his palm and rolled over. Hugging the blankets tight against his body, he hoped to squeeze in a few more minutes of sleep.

Part 1 covers the first three emojis, Part 2 covers the next two emojis, Part 3 covers the next emoji and the epilogue covers the last one.

That red haired guy from you mcr comic (or any of them tbh)

1 - 12 - 13

party poison:

1: "why do you like or dislike this character" I LOVEEE characters who are so young or inexperienced and thrown into huge roles. i love characters who so desperately want to make a change or prove something that they're willing to die for it.

12: "what is a headcanon you have for this character" i think party was the one who found the girl first. she had run away and mostly fended for herself a bit home alone style, she was living inside of a big dumpster bin and her only weapon was a slingshot. she was mischievous and clever and part y and her became inseparable.

13: "What's an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?" easily the yellow guy with the sunglasses 😎<- this guy. "got attacked by dracs but im fucking it up out here 😎" <- he is Not fucking it up they are running for their life. also those explosion hazard signs

New Chenji's this and that!!!!!!!! Travel ver >3

We're still technically in season 2 of Chenji's this and that?

So after over a year they're finally wrapping up season 2 lol. I guess they didn't just make this video season 3 episode 1 because they need at least one trip for every season.

I love that some of the members have emoji faces that really look like them. There's Chenle's laughing face here, Jeno's smiling face with crescent eyes, and Jisung's various baby chick expressions.

Chenle: Let's try making short form content Jisung: No Chenle: Alright then...

They're taking the train there! There's something so fun about train travel.

Chenle is so chatty even after just waking up

Jisung feels nervous in crowds ;_; Chenle talks about how he tries to overcome the anxiety that comes with crowds. Part of it is that as celebrities, crowds probably make them nervous because often all of that attention is on them. But also Jisung is also just a more timid person too.

Chenle, every time Jisung feels nervous in public: Power through! We've been doing this for 8 years.

Chenle pointing out Busan Chinatown :3

Chenji squabbling over what to eat because Jisung wants Busan Chinese hotpot and Chenle wants to try local specialties

Chenle talking about soup on rice forever and Jisung just listening

And then Chenle rambling on and on about street markets lmfao. I keep being reminded of the Dream in Paris vlogs where Chenle kept talking on and on and filling every silence with more talking and Mark was just listening

Chenle looking at toys for his nephew

I have also heard about the tanghulu craze in South Korea right now.

Finally the soup in rice that Chenle kept bringing up

"Had a huge party last night and are curing a hangover the next morning" roleplay

Jisung kept eating the hot peppers

Chenle legitimately hopped into a sunglasses store to get sunglasses. And Jisung did the dad thing where he was like "I'll wait for you outside."

Jisung lived in Busan for a few years :o

They photoshopped sunglasses onto the dolphin emoji lmao

Jisung: Among the cities I've been to, Paris is the most beautiful Chenle: So what about all the other cities? Chenle giving Jisung shit and not letting him live, what else is new

Kangaroo car karaoke~

So they filmed this after NCT Nation, before going to Paris

They made it to the beach~

Stylist and photographer Jisung, model Chenle

Dogie

They just stood and admired the waves for a while :3

More photographer Jisung and model Chenle

Jisung and Chenle had their photo taken as the train came, and then Jisung rushed to snap another photo of Chenle as the train was coming :3

I'd seen a gif of Jisung on a tram and at the time I'd thought that maybe he'd taken the same tram that Jinyoung had on his episode of Off the Grid. I think it's the same.

So Jisung...how does it make you feel that you're taking it with Chenle?

XD when you wanted to go on a romantic date but you're just with your bro?

Chenle always singing. Jisung knows what's up.

Jisung just went "look!" and had Chenle model for him again XD

On the other hand, when Chenle takes photos, it's a two-person job lol. Chenle was looking at the phone over his sunglasses, probably because the sunglasses would distort the colour on the phone. But he also looks like when people look up at you over their reading glasses lmfao.

Chenle: I wish I was here with someone else Jisung: You were, you took this trip with Czennie Good save

Jisung kept telling Chenle to look in different directions while they got their photos taken :P It seems like Jisung takes photos seriously!!!! hehe

Casually going on a yacht ride

Jisung extremely rattled by the netting on the yacht lol

Jisung: Make sure your phone is safe! Naggy Jisung returns

New information unlocked for Chenle

Chenle @ Jisung: Then you should wear the life jacket?!?!?!?!

More photography time

LMAO squatting while taking his photo

Just holding on for his life

Before, Chenle was saying that if someone fell in the water, Jisung would save them (which was how Chenle found out Jisung couldn't swim). Now Jisung was saying if the netting snapped, he'd fall through, and Chenle was like "don't worry, I'll save you >3"

Fireworks???

Jisung wanted to do their closing lying down but Chenle was like "it makes my forehead look big."

Chenle: Why haven't we filmed Chenji's this and that for a year? Jisung: Uh- Chenle: Actually, we fought for a year and only made up now

Also Chenle: Even if we fight, we still have to work Very professional. But also, something something Chenji divorce.

Oh wow I hadn't even realized Chenji's this and that had started 5-6 years ago. They were REALLY young when they first started though, with the slime episode lol.

This happened earlier too, but Chenle let Jisung start the show's slogan :P

Ahhh it was fun seeing them back after a long while. Chenle said that season 3 is coming soon though! :3

You make the miles worth it - Chapter 21

Summary - The Chicago Marathon had always been a dream for Hailey. And when she meets a stranger in pink running shoes whilst training, she realises maybe she had been dreaming for more.

Chapters - 22/24

Chapter Summary - Race day is fast approaching and with Jay still in NYC, Hailey makes a trip to visit Michael.

Notes - I can’t believe we are so near the end! See you next week for race day! Thanks for all the support, I really hope you enjoy this chapter! AO3 Link

1 week to go

The marathon was in just 7 days. Jay was still relatively positive that he would be back in time, they were still discussing running together, getting excited about completing the miles and getting to that finish line. He had to be back on Saturday with enough time to go to the expo and pick up his race number. The rules were strongly enforced and everyone had to collect their own. So if he wasn’t back in time for that, then he wouldn’t be able to run.

They were still keeping contact with each other everyday, texts as often as they could and a couple of phone calls dispersed through the days. But as each day was ticked off the calendar, Hailey’s hopes were dimming. She knew Jay was a good cop, a great cop even. But even a great cop couldn’t predict how long it would take to close a case. And this case was clearly stretching even the FBI’s extensive resources.

3 weeks to go - Expo Day

Walking into the McCormick Place Convention Center surrounded by hundreds, thousands of other runners was like nothing Hailey had ever experienced. The air was alive with excitement. People from all walks of life, from all over the world were all together in this hall for the same reason. This weekend they were all taking to the start line to be part of one of the largest marathons on earth. And if everything went to plan, they would all be crossing the finish line too.

She let the excitement infect her, the smile fixed firmly to her face as she waited in line to collect her race number. When she got to the front and showed her pass, the volunteer behind the desk retrieved the envelope from one of the boxes behind him. Pulling out the number to show it to her, Hailey felt all of her emotions bubble up to the service. H-55055. That was the number she would wear on her chest through the 26.2 miles the next day.

‘Best of luck’, the volunteer said with a smile as he handed the pack over.

‘Thank you,’ Hailey said quietly, still staring at the number in front of her. It was finally real, finally happening.

Next stop was the back of the next hall to collect her finisher shirt. Walking past the large number of stands in the hall, selling any type of Chicago Marathon merchandise that you could dream of. People buying hats, shirts, hoodies, shorts, shoes, socks. It was all plastered with the city flag, the race logo or just Chicago emblazoned across the front.

Collecting her shirt and the other freebies for being a participant, Hailey wandered around the rest of the expo, perusing the merchandise. Her mind drifted to Jay, wondering what he was up to right now, wishing he was by her side. They’d be laughing at some of the bold printed socks, collecting all the free samples and enjoying each other’s company. She pushed that thought to the side of her brain for now, not wanting to take away from being present in the moment.

About an hour later, her bag slightly heavier than it had been when she had entered thanks to the addition of some new limited edition running sunglasses and a Christmas tree decoration in the shape of the medal, she made her way to the exit. Stopping at one of the photo opportunities, she got a stranger to take a photo of her with her bib in front of it. She sent it to both Jay and Vanessa with a couple of nervous face emojis. She might be physically here alone but she still had people supporting her no matter where they were right now.

1 day to go

The marathon was tomorrow. And Jay wasn’t here, he had called her yesterday evening to give her the bad news; the case was still not closed and he wouldn’t be back until the next week. She had kept it together on the phone, put on a brave face and told him she would give him a play by play when he got back. But once she was off the phone, the waterworks couldn’t be stopped.

She had known this would be a possibility, ever since that night at Molly’s when he had got that dreaded phone call. But in her heart she had always hoped it wouldn’t be true, that he would call her and say he was going to the airport. That he was coming back to Chicago. Coming back to her.

Vanessa had crawled into bed with her that evening, holding her best friend tightly and letting her cry. Hailey knew she could do it without Jay, that she had trained hard enough for her body to be able to complete the distance and cross the finish line whether he was by her side or not. But that did nothing to alleviate the feeling in the pit of her stomach that it might not be quite as special if she didn’t have him next to her.

When her alarm had gone off that morning she had groaned and angrily jabbed her finger at the snooze button. She had the day off but had promised herself she would visit Michael today. She was running tomorrow for both of them and she wanted to tell him how close she was to finally reaching the goal they had set out.

The weather was sunny but still cool when she walked towards the cemetery, a classic October Chicago day. If the weather stayed the same for the next 24 hours, it was going to be perfect race day weather as Jay would have said. Hailey smiled to herself as Jay’s voice echoed through her head.

‘So we want it to be sunny, a little chill in the air but minimal wind. That’ll be perfect race day weather Hails’, Jay said cheerfully as they ticked off another mile of their Sunday morning run.

‘It’s Chicago in October Jay, the weather could be doing anything,’ Hailey said with a chuckle. In the past few years, race day had brought wind, rain, snow, sun and heat. Any weather you could think of, there would have been a Chicago Marathon that was completed under those conditions.

‘I’m manifesting it Hailey, it’ll happen,’ Jay said firmly. ‘I know it.’ He flashed her a grin and she smiled in return.

She approached Michael’s headstone slowly.

‘Hey Mikey,’ she said quietly as she stood before it. ‘Sorry it’s been so long.’

She reached down to check the level of moisture in the ground. Finding it dry enough, she sat down, crossing her legs in front of the carved marble. Picking at the grass surrounding the area, giving her something to do with her hand, she started to talk.

‘It’s the marathon tomorrow. I know we always said we’d do it together but I’m carrying you with me tomorrow. Training has been good, and I made a new friend’, Hailey smiled. ‘I guess he’s a bit more than a friend really,’ she chuckled. ‘You’d like him Mikey, he’s a good guy. His name’s Jay and we agreed to run together. He’s doing it for his Mom who passed, and I’m doing it for you, so I guess us doing it together made sense’.

‘He’s a cop, a really good one from what I’ve heard. But he’s in New York right now, working with the FBI. Big deal I know,’ she chuckled again. ‘So he’s not going to make it back in time. I’ll be running it by myself.’

‘Well not really by myself because I know you’ll be with me but it’s still not quite how I had it planned. Make plans and God laughs, isn’t that what you always used to say? But in reality Mikey, I think he’s it. Since you left, I haven’t really let anyone in, couldn’t risk getting my heart broken again, but Jay somehow snuck his way in.’ She quickly wiped a tear from where it had escaped. ‘He knows everything, everything about you, about me, about what we went through when we were kids. And he never ran away. And I pushed him away, I really did but not because I didn’t care. The opposite really, I cared too much and I was scared.’

‘But you always said it was okay to be scared, as long as you didn’t let it stop you doing things you really wanted to do,’ she smiled at the memory. ‘Guess I still need to learn to listen to my big brother’.

‘I wish you were here to meet him though, I know he’d get your seal of approval. I’ll bring him to visit you when he gets back, maybe I won’t be so scared by then. By then I’ll be a marathoner. Imagine that Mikey, an actual marathon finisher.’

Hailey fell silent and continued to pick at the grass in front of her, letting her mind wander as the blades ran through her fingers.

‘I can’t stay too long Mikey, gotta start carb loading for tomorrow,’ she chuckled softly. ‘But I wanted to tell you that I’ve decided I’m going to go to college. I know it’s late and I’m older now but it’s been in the back of my head for years. I always thought it was just a pipe dream, not something I could actually do. But then Jay came into my life and showed me that I could. I’m not one hundred percent sure of my major yet but I know I want to help people. People like us.’

‘It’s a change, a big change, but I’m excited about it. I’ve done my time at the restaurant and I’m ready for a new chapter. I know you’re saying it’s about time I did something for myself.’ She smiled softly. ‘When I walk across that stage at graduation, I know you’ll be so proud of me.’

‘I miss you,’ Hailey whispered. ‘It’s not fair that you’re not here. But tomorrow, I’ll be thinking of you a little more than I normally do. Those miles are for you, for us.’

She got up and dusted any stray ruminants of grass off her jeans.

‘Love you Mikey,’ she rested her palm against the cold stone. ‘Cheer me on tomorrow, I’ll be listening.’

The sheeb listens to JRWI Riptide 3-word summary twitter thread, now with 100% less twitter!!!!

Before twitter totally went to shit, i had a thread that i was adding to every time i listened to an episode of jrwi! I had to write a summary or comment on the episode with 3 words or fewer, although exaggerated spellings and punctuation for emphasis were totally allowed so it wasn't a strict rule. It was just a silly haha way for me to try and motivate myself to keep listening cause i'm v bad at picking up new habits (like listening to podcasts), so i was hoping that posting about it would build the habit and get me to pay better attention so i could remember details to comment on. Heads up, this was already a very, very long twitter thread and i'm still updating it, so it's gonna be a long post. Also spoilers for JRWI Riptide, up to ~roughly episode 60 atm. will update though! :) also i'm copypasting from where i archived the thread on discord so all the emoji's are broken, pretend they're all normal, ok? JRWI SPOILERS AHEAD!!! FINAL WARNING!!!!

So apparently Ninety One’s new single, from the long-delayed second album, is coming out tomorrow. Today, their time. (Today, my time, too, now. It took a little while to write this.) Which means if I’m going to contribute any observations about the pre-release build-up -- and, really, if I’m not going to, then why does this Tumblr even exist? -- might as well do it now.

To be honest I’m feeling a little curmudgeonly about this set of teasers. They are very much dependent on Ninety One’s own history, as opposed to being dependent on Kazakhstani history: self-referential Easter eggs. It feels a bit like loremaking for the sake of loremaking, digging further down in the rabbit hole for the sake of keeping Eaglez in. Which is unfair on my part, admittedly: generally when the guys try to say that they’ve got something on their minds, there’s no real downside to taking them at their word. So let’s see what they’ve got on their minds, shall we?

Although I should add: by “they” I mean not just Ninety One themselves but also Askhat Bayanov, who directed all four of the teasers (and the music video for “Why’m,” and most if not all of the ARTJAQ videos, if I recall correctly), and his chief henchpeople, Nurila Shakirova (and her cute cat) and our beloved Nurs Bazarbay. I’m betting whatever video comes out tomorrow, this trio will have directed it as well.

So: each teaser was preceded with pictures of a card for each member, with text. (Ace, Alem, Bala, ZaQ.)  The text in each case isn’t clearly related to each member: it’s all somewhat abstractly on the theme of growing up and finding yourself and keeping in touch with the inner child (yes, really) and continuing on the journey of self-discovery. And text and video both come with an accompanying date.

First up: accompanying date is 1 Sept 2015, debut. At one point Ace wipes dirt of a copy of that terrible early photo of all of them wearing sunglasses that accompanied the infamous Radio Liberty piece that is the reason I’m here, pat yourself on the back, Radio Liberty, I guess. Then there’s a quick cut to a shot of burning wood that’s from the “Why’m” video -- hence my pointing out Askhat Bayanov’s involvement up top: he’s reflecting too, in a way. And then Ace picks up a key, and just when I think my favorite group is going to pay tribute to my other favorite group by reenacting the video for “The Chaser,” he catches a glimpse of his aged self in a shard of glass and skitters away in horror.

My personal, backed-by-no-evidence theory is that each teaser is inspired by that member’s personal source of angst. For Ace, who’s simultaneously the most practical member (the one charged with figuring out production schedules and procuring offices) and the most likely to embrace esoteric theories, the fear is of growing old without growing wise: time has passed, but all it’s done is cover what knowledge he might have in dust and grime, he’s no closer to figuring anything out, the key doesn’t lead him anywhere. But the feather accompanies him back from the dream world to the waking world, and allows the possibility of keeping the wisdom he’s gained.

And the bird has fled the cage! When I initially saw this I figured Juz Entertainment was the cage, but given the date (and given that we’re about to refer to Ninety One leaving Juz in the next teaser), I’m now wondering if debut itself was the act of leaving the cage: the time when Ninety One had to collectively break out of the strictures of traditional Kazakhstani manhood and define their work for themselves, even in the face of opposition.

(Obviously one possibility is that the feather represents Eaglez, but that feels like too much of a sop to fans, I’m hoping not.)

Date: 11 March 22. Now the four birds have fled the cage we all thought they were fleeing. Meanwhile, Alem starts in a bathtub listening to a phone ring, as he did in “Why’m.”

He then wakes in a moonlit room and, accompanied by “eMoji,” finds three flowers in vases labeled B, Z, and A. He picks up the Z flower and brings it to the sink, and through his mirror he somehow sees ZaQ agonizing in front of a wall covered with papers. More phone ringing! Only now Alem’s in his “Kaytadan” jacket. When he picks up he gets a dial tone. And the phone booth is from Pacific Bell, somehow? I wish I could submit this teaser to the back of 2600 Magazine.

Okay, so: in “Why’m” Alem went into the pool of water and ZaQ tried to save him; at the very end of the video we saw Alem come out of the bathtub -- the only even mildly hopeful ending of that video’s five mini-stories. Now ZaQ’s the one in trouble, and calling, and Alem can’t connect with him. It would make sense if Alem, who’s consistently presented as the most caring and softhearted of the four, feels angst over not being able to help when his bandmate might be suffering. The “Kaytadan” reference might be there just because they could, or it could be, combined with the date, a suggestion that Juz-era Alem was less equipped to be helpful to the others.

The date is 21 December 2020, which the Q-pop Discord says is the day the “Oinamaqo” video was released. And I wish I had a translation of them talking about “Oinamaqo” so I can give you a better idea of why that video among all the others might be meaningful.

We start with a closeup of a nineteenth-century painting I can’t identify. Bala’s leafing through a book when he hears the other three talking -- but they disappear when he tries to take their picture. Scary whispery music plays, and then “Synbaim.” The lights go out. Bala lights a candle, and then looks through a boarded-up window (another “Why’m” reference) to see himself in his “Aiyptama” outfit, watching Peter Pan. Let’s go with the obvious interpretation: Bala is afraid of getting trapped in his youthfulness, of not being able to connect with the three older members the way they connect with each other.

Date: 5 August 2020, the day AZ left. When I saw that that was the date on ZaQ’s teaser, of all of them, I said, “That is perhaps some salt.”

One bit of background I haven’t talked about much because, again, I haven’t been able to comprehend enough: apparently AZ has been making publicly reconciliatory noises towards Ninety One, saying he’d work with them again given the chance. This has apparently inspired Eaglez to flood both his and Ninety One’s Instagrams with comments amounting to GET BACK TOGETHER PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE OH PLEASE. Regardless of any personal animosity that may or may not have developed (AZ was apparently also public about being miffed at not having been invited to ZaQ’s wedding), getting him back into the fold would be logistically difficult: if they’re four co-CEOs of a company, would that make him their employee? I don’t think it’s happening, in short. I think naming his departure as an important date in their development is a big honking neon sign saying it’s not happening.

Anyway. Papers on the wall, papers on the desk. Mel of @qpoptranslations says that the words painted on the wall papers translate to “to come back” (clearly, another Infinite shoutout) and “open it.” “Drift” plays in the background as ZaQ taps, frustrated, with his pen on the desk. Yep, not being able to write sounds like it would rank pretty high on his list of fears. We see the fit Alem witnessed earlier. Then he’s alone in a white room with cameras. “Name?” asks a disembodied voice. “ZaQ.” “Name?” it asks again. He answers, “Dulat,” this time, and that doesn’t satisfy it, as it keeps asking “Name? Name? Name?” over and over again. We see a phone hanging off the hook, a figure in suspenders walking away from the camera (if that’s supposed to be AZ, again, salt), and a candle blowing out. ZaQ starts chanting his “Bata” rap to himself. The chanting gets louder; papers circle around him as did the horses in the “Bata” MV. Then he opens his eyes and he’s with the other three, and everyone is wearing colorful sweaters. We see the cage from Ace’s teaser and the moon from Alem’s, and Alem is holding the feather. (So he was able to reach ZaQ after all? Through the power of music! Er, lyrics!) Then everyone looks at the camera, assuming the poses they hold on their respective card fronts, while what is presumably a snippet of “Gap” plays. (I don’t love it, but you know me, I’m going to say I don’t love it and then play it 300 times.) So it seems that ZaQ’s fear would be losing his creativity and sense of self, although I’m not sure if the cameras are meant to represent general scrutiny of celebrity or be more of a political statement.

There’s a final video, but it’s just them standing around a literal blank canvas and adding the Ninety One logo and the word “Gap.” But since I’m overthinking this anyway, I’ll add that in that final video, Ace provides the stand and Alem the actual canvas, and then they largely stand back as ZaQ and Bala color in the logo, as if to hammer home the idea that each of them has something to contribute.

So what does it all add up to? Again, there’s a cranky temptation on my part to call it indulging Eaglez like me in our desire to read the tea leaves, so we’ll all feel accomplished for having done so, and meanwhile be on tenterhooks until “Gap” drops. I guess the question is: what are they saying for themselves, as opposed to for us? Anything? I wonder if there was something cathartic in filming these, in putting a portion of their actual angst (if I’m right) on camera. As if they had to get all that symbolic mess down before they could be in a position to present something new.

It’s been a while! Over six years between full albums, and over a year since they left Juz, and six months since they started teasing the damn thing. They’d be only human if they felt the pressure. Whatever the album actually is -- and y’all know I’ll be here to record my reactions to it, however belatedly -- at least we’ll all be done with the waiting.

[angelt0rres]

ok i KNOW the ask game said specify a character but i think all ur pronoun/sexuality takes on all the mash guys would be very cool :3

M*x im fucking love you thank you for the precious gift youve given me…

ALRIGHT M*A*S*H BOYS NIGHT PRIDE EDITION

Hawkeye- is malewife a gender nah but weirdly enough i think Hawk is a he/him but in a “Harry Styles wearing a skirt and nail polish in 2018 while everyone on the internet collectively lost their shit” way. He is, as if I even had to say it, a disaster bisexual.

Trapper- all around red blooded american man, he/him, not exactly disaster bisexual but bisexual with a sunglasses emoji infusion 😎. he WOULD find it funny/endearing if you used she/her pronouns like yes I am that bitch hello how may I help you.

B.J. HUNNICUT IS THE WHOLE FRUIT SALAD. Idk this is just my hc but I feel like he is definitely in a lavender marriage with Peg like they definitely are best friends and they do love eachother but holy fuck Bea Jay Hunnicut is a funny little mlm he/they I want to see him in pain

Frank Burns- he fucking sucks i dislike talking about him but I really wish they fleshed out the “secret repressed homosexual that hates himself” idea so yeah he/him passably straight on the outside little fruit tart on the inside

Charles Emerson Winchester III- Secret Repressed Homosexual that Hates Himself Prime. I am a gay Charles purist and I can and absolutely will die on this hill. who the fuck is Donna He/Him and sometimes the royal “we” just cause hes my special little guy and he can.

Henry Blake- his pronouns are they/them! actually though? I feel like Henry could pretty solidly slot into the non-binary identity. Is this based on fact? No! Its based entirely on vibes (which is arguably more accurate) unrelated but they would also wear the “Women want me fish fear me” hat without a trace of irony

Sherman Potter- now THERE is a trans man who wouldve fuckin thrown down at stonewall. he/him StraightGuy tm who just loves his wife and his horses Very Much. arent there a lot of stories of AFAB ppl dressing as men to join the army? also i hc all of his buds in Old Soldiers to be trans guys too.

Radar- whats that post that goes like “I think Radar is autistic with massive amounts of t boy swag” its really funny but I would like to tweak the narrative n this one. I think Radars mom has the type of rural homegrown wisdom where she thinks the severity of her morning sickness would determine the babies gender so she assumed Radar would be a girl so everyone got her little dresses and painted the Radars room pink but after Radar was born she just. raised her as a girl anyway? you cant exactly scrap a 1-10 year female wardrobe and buy new in Ottumwa so out of convenience he was raised as a girl but recognized as a boy. so i feel by the time he gets drafted in korea and has spent plenty of time performing as both genders he really doesnt care anymore and only prefers mens clothing because he personally finds it more comfortable. i think he would accept he/she/they pronouns and be demisexual.

Klinger- said you were a lesbian girl me too I really dont know how to explain is but Klinger is both a straight man and a lesbian at the same time. definitely he/they/she and demisexual like Radar… i feel like Klinger is your dads older sibling and Radar is your moms younger sibling. same vibes for sure but different auras.

Father Mulchahy- ive been waiting for this one (and another thank you to M*x for letting me on my soapbox) FATHER! MULCHAHY! IS! NOT! ASEXUAL! HE! TOOK! A VOW! OF! CHASTITY! TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS! Please dont feel like im coming for your neck specifically if this is your hc its totally valid to want ace representation and it would only feel natural to assign it to the character who doesnt have any relationships as a part of their backstory or characterization but I feel like only assigning Mulchahy with this role is not only some pretty upsetting ace tokenism but harmful to the sanctity of his faith and vows he took on as a priest. That being said! I think Mulchahy is bisexual (and would probably think Jesus was too) and I think you could address him with he/they pronouns but has a slight preference towards he.

Sidney Freedman- It seems like almost everyone in my post has come down with a case of the bisexual he/theys 🤒 but yeah besides Hawkeye I think Sidney would be the vocal about his identity? He could run circles around homophobes and transphobes who try to claim gay/transness to be a disease and I think his wife probably knows and supports his identity although they remain monogamous (Sidney is NOT a cheater >:( )

Thanks so much for the ask!! I hope I answered thouroughly enough and if I forgot anyone please let me know so I can hit myself really hard with a cast iron pan

( nick is still a work in progress, so this is just a start! :3 )

what is zootopia and who are zootopians???

Translating Zootopia into the ‘real world’ was a really interesting thought process. For now I’ve assumed that Zootopians are kind of like this other humanoid species that are born with animal abilities, and these generations of families then took on the traits and aesthetic of the abilities they’re born with. 

So like the Wildes are the classic red fox (vulpes vulpes), and they have traits akin to red foxes. But I’ve headcanoned that Mrs Wilde comes from an arctic fox family, so she is probably better suited to colder weather (she’s gone to live in Tundratown with her sister while Nick’s in Elias), and Nick has inherited (??) that trait, so he’s gonna have a nifty resistance to cold. Just a little bit.

younger nick wilde:

Nick was the cutest kid on the block, that is a fact.

His father was the eldest of three children, and Nick is an only child. But he grew up amongst his cousins (four in total). The Wildes don’t have a typical hierarchy — currently, the ‘head’ of the Wilde is his aunt. Nick’s father was tapped to be the head after his grandfather passed, but Nick’s father (once the smartest and slickest) stepped down when Nick was five years old.

When Nick was five, his aunts and uncles used him to con people at the carnival, having him as a distraction while they pickpocketed people who were taking care of ‘lost little Nick’. They praised him as a natural in the conning game. Mr Danny Wilde saw that his son was being praised for something that Nick had no idea about, and he saw his entire son’s life flash before his eyes: being roped into something he had no say in, and after that incident, he stepped away from cons.

Nick’s mother thoroughly supported this, but felt constantly criticized by her in-laws. She was not a con artist; in fact, she was a regular artist, whose skill lay in pottery.

After Mr Wilde stepped back, he spent time with his son and wife, taking them on trips around the world, and showering them with gifts. But the best gift he gave to his son was determination, to never forget who he was, and that only he could decide who he was.

Mr Wilde always had a dream of being a stage actor. He collected vinyls and loved old musicals, and also tried to keep track of newer musicals as they came out. He even auditioned for a few things in his retirement, and Nick remembers practicing lines with him. He even got a part in a local stage play, but the night of the first show, Nick’s father died in a car crash. Nick was twelve years old.

Rumours went around that the crash was intentional, a revenge from a person Mr Wilde had wronged in the past.

When Mr Wilde died, the rest of the Wildes thought that this would be a good time to bring Nick into the world of conning. But the year Mr Wilde died was also the year Nick had been studying to join boy scouts. The last thing his father had given him was the scout scarf, while his mother collected the uniform. He was not about to give up on the boy scouts, and — despite not knowing exactly why his heart felt this way — he was not about to disappoint his father.

He got his scout scarf from his dad and it has become his most TREASURED ITEM :(((

But then, the scouts rejected him. And the rejection hurt even more than the bruises and gashes he received from their attack. Somehow, even the kids knew that Wildes were bad news. To this day, Nick still didn’t know how they knew to just attack him. Did everyone really hate foxes like him? Had his family hurt everyone?

After the failure with the scouts, Nick became resigned, closed off. Then after a few months of being little more than a ghost in his house, he finally agreed to join his cousins in a confidence scheme they had picked up. The con almost went south before Nick saved the day, coming up with a quick story and getaway before his cousins could even blink.

Everyone praised him, especially his aunts and uncles, and everyone asked how he did it. Had he secretly been like this all along? Pretending that he wasn’t interested just because of his father? That hurt. But by now Nick had learned that the best way to avoid even more hurt was just to go along with it. Be what people want. Nothing could hurt more than losing his father and an opportunity with scouts within a year.

coming to elias:

So Nick’s twenty-two years old when Judy Hopps comes along. That’s a solid ten years of being one of the best con artists in Zootopia, and he gets bested by a carrot pen, a heart full of gold, and someone a foot shorter than him? Jesus Christ on a popsicle stick.

All right, maybe it isn't’ too bad. Maybe he kind of likes that he now has to find a new Nick Wilde, the one that Judy sees. Maybe, in the process, he’s chipping away at all these layers and suits he’s put on throughout the years and finding the real Nick Wilde.

She told him he had a good brain and to put it to good use, and maybe he liked that.

Though, let’s be clear, he is also actively trying to not be imprisoned for felony tax evasion.

Maybe, he also wanted the opportunity to atone for the mistakes of his family. Maybe, he wanted to help the Hopps name rise, if it meant Judy got her bad guy, or cracked her case, or whatever hare-brained adventure she was currently on. From finding missing persons to figuring out what drug was making Zootopians crazy, if it meant Judy wasn’t going to officially arrest him, then he’d do it. If it got Chief Bogo’s nose out of his hair, he’d do it. If it meant getting to finally be someone else … he’d do it.

When he told his family he was moving to Elias, the Wildes were less than pleased. Still, he smooth-talked his way out of questions and offers to have Judy suddenly ‘disappear’. He explained that it was the best way to get his record cleaned, to have the police officially off his tail. He was the new ‘face’ of the Wildes, now did they really want to screw that up for him?

In addition, he convinced his mother to leave their old apartment for a while. Nick knew that without him there, they would only make life worse for her with their passive-aggresive ways, so she now lives in Tundratown with her sister. (I’m going to say that his mother has arctic fox heritage !!!!)

at elias:

But it’s not that easy. Nick thought he could be a new person just like that but being new wasn’t like peeling an onion layer off. People had questions. People tested him. And while he somehow thought he’d be spending his days with Judy, she was dealing with her own problems and dreams.

Honestly, he doesn’t really know what he’s doing in Elias — he’s studying now? In some fancy-schmancy university? Paid by the Zootopia Police Department? He’d be an idiot to complain. But it all seemed like too fast.

So what does he do? Every now and then, he dabbles in a confidence scheme. Just to keep training that muscle, in case Elias doesn’t work out, and in case the new person he’s trying to be … just doesn’t work out for him.

He doesn’t really have much hope. But he knew his father would want him to try. So until he knows for certain that life is hopeless and he’s nothing more than a sly fox  … he’ll keep trying.

quick nick facts:

He has just arrived at Elias woohoo (from the time of first rping, he would have been there for at least a week already)

He studies a Bachelor of Commerce/Arts because he thought well why not, it’s paid for and he might learn something useful

He lives at the university dorms

He is a coffeeholic

His education is paid for by the ZPD (or the government? Mayor Lionheart?)

He’s watching Snake Eyes casino very carefully, not entirely sure if he should dip his toes into that business or not. Snakes needed to be watched more than foxes, in his opinion.

He has no opinion on the ‘good or bad’ of villains like Maleficent, in fact he thinks it’s all really interesting and entertaining. Kind of like a very elaborate soap opera.

He thinks that the majority of people in Elias will likely be of the same mind as Judy Hopps (crime is bad boohoo) so he really tries to keep the cons low profile and never the same one twice.

He’s not stupid, he knows when he’s out of his depth so he tries to lay low in general.

He keeps a notebook of all the people he meets, with little notes on what he thinks of them. At least in Zootopia it was easy to assume things about people, but Elias was a whole new ballgame.

He can be incredibly patient and cool as a cucumber lmao but quickly gets uncool when he feels he’s in danger. He doesn’t really ‘um’ or ‘ah’ or get nervous except around people that really get under his skin. Like Judy Hopps.

Nicknames. All the time. He’s annoying.

There are opportunities in Elias, but he won’t go for any of them because he doesn’t know if he even wants to stay here forever. Zootopia is still his home. To him (for now) Elias is just a really expensive, immersive vacation.

taken connections

judy hopps. friendly annoyance.

wanted connections 

people involved in crime that he could make friends with or just talk to? he’s not looking to join anything, but it’d be nice to have similar-background connections. (......maybe he could join?? who knows !!)

people who go to uni

nick is a bit of a floater, so i could see him just being comfortable going anywhere at anytime. i’ll see how he goes, and i am always open to friends/frenemies/enemies/hookups etc. etc. !!

💗 - send w a group and i’ll tell you my favorite things about one of the members

man i could talk about so much but i’ll just stick to a few

a while ago i’m not sure when but at least a year and a half ago ateez did a campaign for painted men i think is what it’s called where the campaigners paint one nail on each hand to signify how 1 out of 5 children are abused and still to this day he always has one odd nail. it actually inspired me to start doing my nails like that

i love how lee know wears a ton of stuff that supports charity like his snow leopard earrings that support endangered snow leopards and he often has the cheese cat keychain from poundcat on his bag/wears their jewelry and part of their proceeds go towards stray cats

everything about bang chan he’s just the sweetest person and he’s always so respectful of everyone he interacts with i could and have gone on full rants about him

i’ll stop here bc it would go on forever but yeah i love them a lot

👯‍♀️ - send w a group and i’ll rant about a favorite friendship

i mean who else but chanlix

i will make myself cry if i talk about them for too long but everything about how they’ve supported each other (especially chan supporting felix) since felix went to korea and how chan helped him with the language barrier and just having a piece of home with him. everything they said about each other at the 2019 sydney shows during their ments they just own my heart

🌟 - send w a group and i’ll talk about my favorite era, concept, and/or album

ok much less emotional for this one 😭😭 one word: stereotype

that era was just everything it’s my favorite album from them and i LOVED when seeun had her hair styled wavy it looked so good with the middle bleach and it was my first stayc era so it was so much fun and the styling was everything it was so cute and i love how for that one stage they had sunglasses in their pockets and put them on for the final chorus. it was also one of the first choreos i half-learned so that was really fun for me picking up bits while watching stages

send an emoji and i’ll..

A complete, very long list of all GBoard-combinable emojis because I can't find one anywhere.

Ok so for those who haven't seen my stuff (or have only seen my Bionicle posts), I sometimes emoji mashup redraws, with the recent fourth one using GBoard-based fusions. Frustratingly, there's no actual list of fusion-compatible emojis, so I'll attempt to compile them, in a list below the "Read More" thing:

Green/▢ = compatible with fusion Blue/△ = only works with certain emojis Red/◯ = not compatible with fusion

Also, since other people's terms for specific emojis might not match up with mine, I recommend using CTRL+F and then doing this to find the specific emoji you're looking for. This list is in the order presented in GBoard's Emoji menu. Some of them will be generic unicode symbols, I don't know how to change that, sorry for the inconvenience. Also, I won't aknowledge multi-category Emoji.

Not Dying is Not Where the Bar Is (Everything’s Fine Universe)

Fandom: Sanders Sides

Relationships: Remus & Virgil & Remy, background platonic DLAMPR

Characters: 

Main: Remus, Virgil, Remy

Appear: Janus, Roman, Logan, Patton (in text)

Summary:

Virgil hurried into the bathroom and grabbed two bags of cough drops as well as the thermometer, some children’s Tylenol, Benadryl, Afrin nose spray, two boxes of Kleenexes: one with lotion and one with lotion and Vicks, and some cough syrup. Then, he grabbed three extra pillows from the hall closet.

Remy looked at him and his armful of things when he came back into the bedroom and twirled his finger around in a circle (his typical substitute for rolling his eyes).

“What?” Virgil said. “He’s sick. He could be really sick. He could have pneumonia!”

One of Virgil’s kids get sick.

Notes: Soulmate AU, Superhero AU, illness, implied/referenced child abuse, implied/referenced child neglect

This is part of the Everything’s Fine Universe, but it set far in the future. So it’s kinda spoilers, but not really because obviously all of them are going to end up a family eventually...

To read the first book in this series, click below

AO3 Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8

The prompt was “I really don’t like the sound of that” With Virgil, Remy, and kid!Remus from the Hurt / Comfort Sickfic Drabble Prompts list.

“Yes, yes,” Virgil groused. “I will get you your damned food if you stop attempting to trip me.” Diesel Fuel did not seem to care about his argument, continuing to meow loudly and bump up against his legs. Virgil finally gave up and teleported away from her to grab the cat food and back to the bowl to pour it in. “There, you menace. Breakfast.”

No thanks came from the cat. She just dashed over to start gorging herself. Virgil shook his head and wandered into the living room. His eyes landed instantly on Janus who was leaning back in the armchair with his electric heating pad. He stirred when Virgil walked in.

“I hope you didn’t sleep there,” Virgil said.

“Do you think Patton would have let me sleep here?” he mumbled back.

“Still, it’s early,” Virgil said, letting a hand gently touch his forehead to push back his hair. He’d need a haircut or some other solution to keep his bangs out of his face soon. “Want to go back to bed?”

“Remus’s been snoring. So loud.”

“Hmm,” Virgil said. “That sucks. Want something to eat or drink or want me to leave you alone?”

“Leave me be?”

“Gotcha.”

Janus was the only one of the kids up (unless you counted the cat), so Virgil grabbed his chemistry textbook and started working through a few of the problems his professor had assigned him for next week at the kitchen table. About half an hour later, his phone buzzed. Remy had texted him.

‘I’m invading your house for the TV. You can’t complain, because I’m bringing your kids breakfast.’ Virgil rolled his eyes and sent back a thumbs up emoji. He got a sunglasses emoji back.

Virgil finished up the problem he was on and set his work aside to walk into the living room. “Remy’s going to be here soon with food,” he warned Janus, so he wouldn’t wonder why the doorbell would be ringing in a couple minutes and panic. The boy hummed his acknowledgment.

Virgil walked up the front staircase and knocked on one of the bedroom door. “Roman, Logan, Remy’s coming with breakfast. If you want it warm, come downstairs.”

“Kay,” Roman’s tired voice said. “Be down in a minute.”

Virgil turned to the other door and knocked, saying the same thing.

There was a pause. “Not hungry,” Remus said quietly.

“Alright,” Virgil said. “I’ll put yours in the fridge for later.”

There was no response, but Virgil didn’t think anything of it. Sometimes Remus would say no to breakfast when he’d just woke up but would come down a few minutes later anyway when his body woke up a bit more.

He was heading back down the stairs when the doorbell rang. He passed Janus, who was still on the couch but now had Diesel Fuel kneading his thighs.

“You better have brought coffee too,” Virgil said when he opened the door.

“Who do you think I am?” Remy asked, pushing past him.

“Kids!” Virgil called. “Food!”

Two sets of footsteps tromped down the stairs as Roman and Logan came down.

“Do I have to get up, or do we get to eat in the living room?” Janus asked.

“We can eat in here,” Virgil said.

“Yes!” Roman said. He ran to pull two of the giant pillows over to the coffee table for him and Logan to sit on and Remy set the bags of breakfast food he’d brough onto the table.

Breakfast was about what Virgil had come to expect from the meal. Logan had snuck a book under the table and was trying to read it without anyone seeing, Roman had managed to get ketchup from the hash browns all down his front, and Janus was arguing with the cat about whose food Janus had on his plate (and losing). The only thing missing was Remus’s chaotic energy.

Remus didn’t come down the whole time they ate or even after they’d cleaned up and Virgil was washing the dishes in the sink. That was odd. Virgil glanced at the clock. It was definitely past the timeframe Remus usually got up.

“What’s up Wonder Dad?” Remy asked, probably seeing him frown. Janus and Logan were talking on the couch and Roman was humming as he drew, having gotten out the crayons.

“Remus hasn’t come down yet.”

“Kids like to sleep sometimes,” Remy said, unconcerned.

“Yeah…”

“But we’re going to go up to make sure, aren’t we?”

“…Yeah.”

“Alright, let’s go.”

They went up the back set of stairs to the second floor and walked up to Janus and Remus’s door. Before Virgil could knock, however, the sound of pretty intense coughing came from behind the door.

“I really don’t like the sound of that,” Remy said.

Virgil barely resisted the urge to kick down the door. Or, better yet, just teleport in there. Instead, he knocked on the door. “Remus, can we come in?” he asked.

The coughing stopped so Remus could say, “Yeah,” quietly.

Virgil pushed open the door. The lights were off in the room, but he could still make out a lump in the bed. “Are you alright?” Virgil asked, crossing over to him and sitting on the bed. Remy flicked on the lights behind him.

“‘M fine,” Remus said. He did not sound fine. He sounded miserable. Virgil carefully peeled the blankets away from his red face and set a hand on his forehead.

“You have a fever,” Virgil said.

“Yeah,” Remus agreed. “I’m sick.”

“Then why did you say you’re fine?”

“I am fine,” Remus claimed.

“No, you’re not,” Virgil said.

Remus shook of Virgil’s hand and pulled the blankets back over his head. “I’m not going to die,” Remus mumbled.

“That is not where the bar is!” Virgil exclaimed, peeling back the blankets again from his lax fingers. He groaned in displeasure. “Remy, come take a look at him. When did you start feeling bad? When’s the last time you ate? Does your stomach hurt? Are you congested?”

“I’m fine,” Remus said again, but then coughed hard, undermining his words.

“Oh, buddy,” Remy said sympathetically. “That’s quite the cough. Let’s get you sitting up.” He helped Remus into a sitting position. “Virgil could you maybe get him another pillow from somewhere?”

“Yeah, there should be some in the hall.”

“Maybe get some cough drops too while you’re at it.”

“Okay.” Virgil hurried into the bathroom and grabbed two bags of cough drops as well as the thermometer, some children’s Tylenol, Benadryl, Afrin nose spray, two boxes of Kleenexes: one with lotion and one with lotion and Vicks, and some cough syrup. Then, he grabbed three extra pillows from the hall closet.

Remy looked at him and his armful of things when he came back into the bedroom and twirled his finger around in a circle (his typical substitute for rolling his eyes).

“What?” Virgil said. “He’s sick. He could be really sick. He could have pneumonia!” 

“I don’t have pneumonia,” Remus said.

“He doesn’t have pneumonia,” Remy said at the same time.

“How do you know?” Virgil stressed. Remy looked at Remus and Remus giggled at his expression. Virgil folded his arms in front of him. “What’s so funny?”

Remy shook his head. “Remus, how do doctors diagnose people with pneumonia?”

“They take X-rays of their chest.”

“That’s right!” Remy replied. He slipped his sunglasses down and glanced at Remus’s chest. “Look, no pneumonia!”

“You’re a jerk,” Virgil said.

“Yes, yes, make yourself useful and go make the kid some tea with honey.”

“Don’t need it,” Remus claimed.

“Don’t care,” Virgil responded. “Anything else? I should make you soup. Would you eat soup? Or baby crackers. My mom always gave me baby crackers when I was sick. Toast?”

“He doesn’t have a stomachache,” Remy said. “Why don’t you just heat him up the sausage biscuit I got him for breakfast and maybe bring an orange?”

“Sure, sure, and also orange juice,” Virgil said.

“You’re already making tea,” Remy reminded.

“I’ll bring both, and water. People are supposed to drink water when they’re sick.”

“Orange juice and tea are plenty for hydration for now,” Remy said.

Virgil ignored him and teleported downstairs. He grabbed the phone that he’d left next to the sink and shot a text to Patton. ‘Remus is sick,’ he wrote. ‘Bring back carrots, celery, chicken broth, and whatever else goes in soup. I’m making soup.’

He then quickly went to the tea kettle to start making tea before moving to get the rest of the promised food and drinks. Also, he grabbed ice chips. Sometimes people let ice chips melt in their mouths when they were sick, right?

Virgil’s phone beeped as the sandwich warmed up in the microwave.

‘Remy already texted me that he’s fine,’ Patton had written back. ‘You can’t cook.’

‘He needs soup,’ Virgil texted back immediately.

‘There is some canned in the pantry.’

Virgil frowned at the phone. ‘Homemade soup.’

‘Honey, he just has a cold. Calm down.’

‘He could have pneumonia.’

‘Remy says he doesn’t have pneumonia.’

‘It could turn into it.’

‘Not with you around, I’m sure.’

Virgil sighed and stuck his phone into his pocket so he could load up the tray of food and drinks.

“What are you doing?” Janus asked when Virgil stepped into the room.

“Remus is sick. Janus, you can sleep in my bed tonight. I don’t want you to get it.”

“Um…” Janus said.

“He’s going to get overprotective when any of us is sick,” Roman proclaimed cheerfully kicking his feet. “It’s fun!”

“Everyone eat an orange,” Virgil ordered as he walked to the staircase and went up.

“Virgil, I said he didn’t need baby crackers or toast,” Remy said with a sigh when Virgil walked in. Remus was now propped up with one extra pillow and the other two were set aside.

“What’s his temperature?” Virgil asked, setting down the tray of food onto Janus’s desk.

“100.7” Remy said. He held up a hand before Virgil could speak. “I already gave him some Tylenol.”

“Good,” Virgil said. “That’s good. We should get him a cold rag for his forehead.”

“He’s probably fine,” Remy said, “but I don’t think I’ll talk you out of it. Let the poor thing eat first, though. I’m going to go grab something.”

Virgil nodded. He took most of the food and drink off the tray and set it on the desk but left the tea and sandwich on it. He brought the tray over and put it in his lap before taking a seat on Janus’s side of their conjoined twin beds.

“Thanks,” Remus said. “You don’t have to.”

Virgil frowned and leaned forward to kiss his forehead. He was still warm, which was to be expected, but it didn’t calm Virgil at all. “Of course, I have to,” Virgil said. “Drink your tea. It’ll help your throat.” Remus rolled his eyes. “Hey, I saw that!” But the little bit of cheek did make him feel better. Remus did take a sip of tea despite his resistance.

“Oh,” he said. “That does make it a bit better.”

“Good,” Virgil said. “I can get you more any time you like. Or if you’re not thirsty, the cough drops should help. I personally prefer the blue ones, but I got the red ones too.”

Remus shifted a bit and looked at his lap. “You really don’t need to hover.”

“You have zero choice in this,” Virgil said. He kissed the boy’s forehead again.

Remus sighed, but shifted to snuggle into him a bit. Virgil took his tea and held it for him so he could pick up his sandwich.

“Alright,” Remy said, stepping back inside. “I brought you something that will make being sick a lot more tolerable.” He set a tablet next to Remus’s legs. “I’ve got Netflix and Disney+ on this bad boy. So, have at it.”

Remus’s eyes lit up. “I wanna watch Scream!”

“Absolutely not,” Virgil said.

“I put the child lock on it,” Remy said.

“Lame,” Remus pouted.

Virgil chuckled and kissed his head before grabbing the tablet. “We’re watching The Lion King.”

“We?” Remus asked. “You’re staying?”

“Of course,” Virgil said, “and if you need anything, just tell me. I mean it.”

Remus didn’t seem to know what to say, setting his sandwich down to hug him. The poor thing must really not be feeling well because Virgil could feel tears soak his shirt. Virgil set down the tablet to wrap the arm not holding the tea around him and hug him softly.

Remus’s crying was interrupted by coughing and Virgil drew back to pat him gently on the back. Remy offered Virgil a box of tissues and Virgil took one so he could gently clean the tears and snot off his face.

“Here,” Virgil said once he managed to stop coughing. He handed him back the mug. “Drink some more tea, there you go.”

“We’ll have you right as rain soon,” Remy promised. “Even if Super Dad makes me X-ray your chest 50 times an hour.”

Remus laughed and handed back the mug. “Can I get radiation poisoning that way?”

“Nah, not with me doing it.”

“Lame,” Remus mumbled. “I wanted to glow in the dark.”

“We’ll get you glow in the dark body paint when you’re well,” Remy said.

“I don’t know about that…” Virgil said.

Remus pouted at him.

“Fine… but you can only use it outside.”

“Okay,” Remus said with a smile.

…Virgil was going to be cleaning glow in the dark paint out of the carpet, wasn’t he?

d&d questions 1, 2, and 31

answered 1 & 2 here, but i'll do em again! because there's too many dang customization options!

1. What do you think your d&d race would be? mmmmmm maybe a shifter? mostly human but also not

2. What class? rogue, sneak sneak sneak

31. Tell me about your current party!

CRACKS KNUCKLES

i got two main parties so I'm talking about both!

PARTY 1: ORDER OF THE CHEESEWHEEL

Irezumi: Drow Rogue, my character. Chaotic good, not always great at perceiving things but she found a cat once. Kept the cat, his name is Cheese Wheel. Loves being on the surface, loves greenery. Still reminisces about the Underdark.

Velria: Human Barbarian. The youngest of our party at 17, she ran away from her noble family for adventuring. Likes girls, and likes carrying around a whole armory of weapons on her back.

Reina: Halfling Sorcerer. Came from a cult, had an adventuring party before ours but whatever happened to them isn't clear. Often mistaken for a child due to her size.

Solar: Dragonborn Monk. Raised by his father, but they were attacked by worshippers of Tiamat. In the second session of the campaign he bought as many cheese wheels as he can carry, hence why our party likes cheese so much.

Haddock: Kobold Rogue/Fighter(? Teck if you're reading this correct me if I'm wrong). Was part of a criminal organization once, now adventuring. They're missing an eye, and once had a kenku alchemist fashion sunglasses for themself. Unfortunately the kenku put explosive runes on everyone's sunglasses.

Sylyras: Winged Elf Ranger. Haven't seen much of her as of late bc scheduling conflicts but she and Irezumi are homies.

Volurk: Half-Orc(?) Druid. Like Sylyras, haven't seen much of him, but he turned into a wolf once. That's cool!

Zoltai: Aasimar Warlock. They're a researcher into everything and I respect that so much. Loves books. Once flirted with a vampire to keep her distracted despite being thoroughly uninterested (by aspect of being aroace).

AAAND some out of context OotCW art:

Left: Irezumi reference. Right: Irezumi art, she has a hood up, snake tail and flowers tattoos on the top of each arm, is holding a damascene dagger of frost, and has Cheese Wheel, a black cat, on her shoulder.

Haddock destroying the last two members of a group of enemy mercenaries we fought. Haddock iconically stated, "I'm not done with you yet."

Solar catching and returning lightning from a magic javelin in the same encounter as above. He's also krumping.

Solar emoji. He is looking(tm).

PARTY 2: THE OVERGROWTH CAMPAIGN

Sybil of Hvallatr: Merfolk Bard, my character. Has a cool crown that he can talk to that definitely isn't evil. Started off pretty chill, if up for anything. Now he murdered a man in cold blood and has become a lich (the lich part isn't that big a deal, everyone in the party is trying to transcend humanity so we can go back in time).

Theran: Elf Rogue. His stealth rolls regularly roll above 30. Often sneaks past time itself. Sybil got to turn him into a Therannosaurus once. Got turned into an angel, but the god who angelified him isn't exactly a friend...

S'vatu: I don't know her actual race, but catgirl Bloodsight Cleric. Answers to the luck god Kane. Not really sure if it's worshipping though because Kane just hangs out with us. Anyway she died once but came back to life, and this was before she was in our party. Recently became a lich, got tired of being undead, and has become a fully robot catgirl.

Kal: Human Hexblade Warlock. Was sent on a suicide mission during his time in the army, where everyone but him died. Still keeps his morals, also took out a dragon summon that was at 3/4ths health in one hit. Has magical armor on his very being that protects him from divine magic, *except* for his eye. This armor should also let him time travel as long as he covers the eye with lead.

Henry Moon: Idk dude they were here once because the player switched their Owlfolk Cleric to play this guy but I haven't seen him in session since. I do know he is the Horseman of Death though, and he's helping us because the current world ending threat isn't supposed to be the apocalypse.

All my other sketches of these guys are buried in various Krita files, but I do have Sybil art:

I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE MAGICAL GIRL CAMPAIGN THAT IM IN WITH GIL AND JAY THOUGH i get to play a harengon which will be so fun!!

There's also another campaign that was ehhh. but I did play a tiefling wizard (who im repurposing for a cyberpunk oneshot) and the only other party member i remember was the ace half elf bard who liked coffee!
