Romantic cliche

Fluffynightkiller week day 1

•

•

A violet skeleton sighed as he sat on the couch wrapped in a thermal blanket. It was a chilly day outside, temperatures had dipped overnight causing frost to cling to the trees overnight. It was beautiful sight, the trees were crystal like when the dim rays of the sun bounced off.

Even if it was a beautiful sight, this skeleton preferred to admire the scenery from the warmth of his home. Being half fire-elemental, he couldn’t casually waltz outside like his partners. He’d have to dress in layers, thermals, and with a thick jacket as an extra precaution to ensure he wouldn’t lose too much body heat. He’d seen first hand how dangerous that could be.

He shifted in place trying to find the most comfortable position. Since he couldn’t go out he opted to watch a movie until his partners returned home. He selected a dvd that killer had left out laying on the coffee table, just a typical romantic movie, with all the predictable outcomes, and the annoyingly excessive tears.

Nightmare wasn’t a fan. He’d always found it a waste of money to shower your loved one with flowers and chocolates, to have the spouse announce their arrivals with “honey I’m home.”

He could never understand why Killer enjoyed this genre of films. Well.. perhaps he just found it ironic that Killer actually enjoyed these so called films.

Killer had a notorious history of being a playboy. A flirty jerk who had countless sexual partners, an expert in bed, who wanted nothing more then sexual satisfaction. No strings attached and no feelings involved. At least that’s what Nightmare had gathered after sleeping with him the first few times.

“……….”

But he supposed he couldn’t necessarily blame Killer. Nightmare wasn’t exactly the best at comprehending his own feelings, nor was he good at expressing said feelings.

Just like the actors in the movie, he and Killer had been oblivious to each other’s feelings. It was truly cringeworthy how foolish they were. Surely everyone else could see it unfold.. how close they’d gotten.. yet they both continuously denied it.

There had been times Nightmare had wished things had unfolded like they do in the movies. With one party going to the others house, finally realizing their feelings, confessing their love. Then the two would get their happy ending.

Yet their relationship was unstable and volatile. So fragile that a gust of wind would tear everything apart. So, even after confessing their feelings…. more or less, their relationship ended in flames. Tearing each other down.. embedding words of hate into each other.. inflicting a pain so deep that you’d never be able to escape it.

But, somewhere along the line destiny seemed to bring them together again. The violet skeleton couldn’t deny there were lingering feelings within his soul.

However.. with the second attempt they pursued a different approach.

Nightmare had wished he could’ve kept Killer to himself.. and it wounded him deeply when he realized that was nearly impossible. But.. if it weren’t for that reason.. they’d never have met their wonderful fluffy barista.

Ccino-

A gentle soul who managed to bring him and Killer closer than ever before. After countless years of banter and witty remarks, it was easy for the violet and eyeless skeleton to work each other up.

Playful banter turned to snarky remarks-

To light insults-

Which lead to full blown arguments.

But the baristas soft nature managed to ground them. Often times being the mediator between Nightmare and Killer. Actually the whole reason they were able to confess to each other.. saying they loved each other was thanks to Ccino. Of course it still wasn’t the best situation… but Nightmare was certain if Ccino hadn’t been in the relationship… things would’ve ended differently.

The movie continued.

This time the actors were kissing under the rain, whispering how much they loved the other and couldn’t live with the other.

He scoffed.

So cliche.

“…… Damn it.”

He came to a realization. Hadn’t his life mostly been a romantic cliche?

Smart serious business man falls for a playboy sleep around who doesn’t want any commitment. But as their relationship progresses they both realize they have feelings. They have a huge fight that seems it won’t be resolved… until years later they meet again. The two clearly love each other but cannot have a stable relationship… until a kind natured boy comes into play.

And they live happily ever after.

He groaned. Oh looking at it like that the plot of their relationship seemed so predictable. He wondered how many people would be interested in something so-

“Moonpie! My hot sexy warm cozy man! You don’t know how much I looked forward to seeing you today!” Killer’s voice interrupted nightmares thoughts, as he made his way over to the violet skeleton.

“What? Hey no!! Killer I am not your personal-

No!! Killer stop it- you’re cold!!! I’m not-“

Nightmare sighed in defeat as Killer had slipped inside the blankets and pushed Nightmare further into the couch to where they were somewhat laying on one another.

Killer smiled as he purred nuzzling his face into Nightmare’s chest.

“So waaaaarm” Killer voice was muffled by the fabric on nightmare’s chest.

It had become a usual occurrence now… Killer would always snuggle up with Nightmare on chilly days. Sometimes Nighty wondered if all that Killer saw was as a personal heater.. but he’d be lying if he said he didn’t enjoy the physical contact.”

A few moments later the door clicked shut.

“I’m h-home! I b-b-brought some baked g-goodies from work!” Ccino chimed as he walked towards the kitchen setting down a few items.

“I’m g-going to brew some c-c-coffee! Anyone w-want any?”

“Mmmm~ I’ll take some marshmallow.” Killer responded.

“I’ll take some as well.” Nightmare added on.

Nightmare couldn’t help but feel as though most of his life had been a romantic cliche… but… I guess he could see why Killer enjoyed such silly films.

Who wouldn’t want to have their personal happily ever after?

Even if it was cliche… or if it wasn’t perfect.. Nightmare would never trade this for anything else in the world.

Maul: *looking at the view* wow, it’s so beautiful!

Obi-Wan: *looking at Maul* yes. yes, it is.

kuboyasu aren is definitely the type of guy to write a love letter confession, but instead of giving it to the person to read later, he gives it to them and wants to watch them open and read it because he thinks thats the appropriate way to confess. bro couldnt just say it out loud ??

[image description: devnotes for Korrilla's line of dialogue: "As things stand, she [Hope]'s his favorite toy. We're all mad here, but Hope in hell! Why, that's the definition of insanity." The devnote says "Complicated feelings. Both jealous of Raphael's attention and sad because she knows her sister doesn't want it."]

[Korrilla saying, in a conversation where you can ask about the diabolist, "I hope things turn out well for you, I really do. Cheers." The note says "sadly - she knows (but we don't) that things won't turn out well at all."]

[Korrilla saying, "This current crisis has him so busy he's barely been home since he met you." The note says "proud of her boss." ]

[Korrilla saying "I'm not for sale. My time's not for sale. My affection's not for sale. I'm here on other business." The note says, "hasn't look up from her mug yet - is muttering darkly, she's clearly said this to a lot of people who've assumed she's a prostitute. (She's standing at the bar of a brothel.)]

[Korrilla saying, in response to Tav saying they'll stop the brain without Raphael's help, "I doubt it, but even if you do, you won't survive the fight." The note says "with a hint of sadness."]

[Korrilla saying "The boss might be a devil, but he'll treat you more honestly than anyone else in the city." The note says "she genuinely believes this."]

[In response to the player character asking whether she likes working for Raphael, Korrilla responds "More than anything. My old dwarven master used to beat me and feed me scraps -- Raphael treats me right and feeds me well. Better to feast in the Hells than go begging in the Heavens."]

Korrilla's devnotes casually murdering me.

The absolute naturalness of their relationship

I'm not the only one who had definite thoughts on Karga's words, am I? Alcohol for a special occasion? Wait for a smaller gathering? What could he mean by that? 👀

I like the idea that everyone already knows what's going on between the two of them, whether it's Din's group, the group of the former mercanaries, or Karga. I like that they are just together without much explanation or romantic hints.

We can agree that Grogu is the one Din cares the most about. And where can we find the child? It's now taken for granted that he is physically close to Bo as he is to Din. Or he is between the two. All the interactions already seem like family, like they grew together naturally.

Where she goes, Din goes and where Din goes Grogu goes, it's just that simple. I think that's the most affection Din Djarin ever showed to anyone and perhaps, in his head, that's what it means to be in a serious relationship with someone.

Remember the Mandalorian vow. It's just simple and pragmatic without big words or sentiments:

We are one when together, we are one when parted.

And they are, currently they're mostly together since Bo-Katan followed Din to Mandalore. But that will now be put to the test now that Din has been captured.

We will share all.

Neither Din nor Bo-Katan are very open personalities, they both have had very traumatic experiences, including losing their families. But they've started to open up to each other and to others just by spending time together. They share their time together and they begin to share parts of themselves that have been long kept closed inside them.

We will raise warriors.

They already showed in the episode The foundling that Din started to train Grogu and of course Bo was at her side. But she didn't just stand by, she actively supported and reassured Grogu. Nothing an aunt or family friend would do. She takes an active part in Grogu's upbringing and is therefore not called mummy by everyone for nothing.

Mandalorian vow.

Thank you for this wonderful GIFs and make sure to show some love to: @cal-kestis @bo-katankryzc and @itberice

The premise: Sun isn’t very good at driving and hit the brakes a little too hard, making Moon and Pilot-Reader both fall over like a couple of idiots! Haha stupid little idiot morons. Moon has a sudden realization (he likes the view has a crush) and Sun walks in on an. Interesting situation

anyway yeah this reader-insert is equally as dumb oblivious as every single other reader-insert I’ve made. “It’s not what it looks like” “uh yeah it is it LOOKS like your stupid lanky metal butt FELL on me and won’t get UP”

[ineffable-piracy]

Thinking about all of the romantic moments we had in S1 like the swapping of clothes, treasure hunting date, the kiss on the beach, the ‘you wear fine things well’ under the moon etc etc

It makes me wonder what we’re going to get in S2? More soft moments between these pirates but it’s different now because they know

And not just Ed and Stede! I want to see more Olu and Jim! More Lucius and Pete! I went into S1 thinking it was another comedy but it’s a romantic comedy and now I’m foaming at the mouth for more romance!!!

[pacifistcowboy]

love the thought of espio n silver finally becoming a couple and espio’s like “YES! i’m getting to live out my very own romance novel” while silver’s like “oh fuck what do couples do how do i boyfriend i have no idea what i’m doing oh fuck oh shit oh f”

[sinnbaddie]

I’m starting to hate STSG so much solely for the fact that I cannot consume any content of my faves without them always being brought up or inserted into the conversation in some type of way

I just wanna hyperfixate on Hikara and Itafushi yet the most toxic and unhealthy ship is brought up more in their tags than them themselves

Imagine if Stacey and Neil actually met in high school except they didn’t go to the same school: they met through Kid Chameleon.

One night, Scott brings Stacey to one of their shows and it just so happens that Stephanie (or Steph) brought Neil with her.

Since they were both the youngest people there (Neil’s 17, Stacey’s 16 till December), they decided to talk to each other and they hit it off.

Stacey also develops a bit of a crush on Neil and would always ask Scott if Steph was going to bring her brother with her again, as she wanted to see him and didn’t know if there was another way.

Then one morning, she discovers that they take the same TTC bus and from then on they talk before and after school and become sorta friends. At this point, Neil also starts developing a crush on her.

Things stayed like that for about two months until Neil and his mom moved places (as I agree with the headcanon that the Nordegraf siblings have divorced parents) so they would no longer take the same bus in the morning or after school. They still have Kid Chameleon shows to meet up and talk at right? Ha ha wrong cause at New Years, the famous break up between Scott and Envy happens which in turn, also breaks up the band.

That whole break up was the nail in the coffin that strained Neil and Stacey’s kinda friendship. They didn’t have the others phone number cause they were both too shy to ask and also cause they both kept forgetting.

There also wasn’t a whole ton of opportunities to ask either of their siblings for their phone numbers so they just gave up and went on with their lives.

But then why didn’t they recognize the other in the like three times there were in the same room together? Easy answer: Stacey was distracted by everything around her to even notice Neil, who in turn, was slowly disappearing into the crowd and fully did by the time it was Lisa’s going away dinner.

So when they see each other again properly at the Chaos Theater, something clicks and they fall back into where they once were two years ago. To them it felt like a decade, but no it was just two years. They catch up on what they missed in the others lives on the walk home.

After that these dorks start dating cause the feelings were still there, just buried deep, left dormant, and forgotten. They came back but slightly different as people change.

i know they'll probably retcon this as soo-cheol actually remembering da-hye and just being too shy to approach her that time he saw her again at his sister's wedding bc that's kind of a romantic trope in kdramas but i'd actually prefer it if he really didn't pay her any mind at first

[dudeyuri]

This scene is a perfect distillation of My School President's spirit. It encapsulates what the show is all about at its heart. If MSP had a thesis statement it would be this scene. Etc and so on

[raineadey]

[catominor]

oh also heres my little guys / story spotify playlist.. its kind of disjointed as in the songs represent different character perspectives / sometimes just general story vibes tbh
