Stray Kids Reaction to you being insecure about your stomach/stretch marks

A/n: I don't know how I feel about this, tbh. The gifs are ass, though, that I do know. If this is bad, don't tell me, I'll cry. Ialsocan'trememberifIproofreadthisornotI'msosorry

- Requested -

Chan: He was home early to surprise you when he heard you mumbling to yourself. He’d heard the words on more than one occasion, and it always got to him. He just couldn’t understand how you saw yourself any less than how he saw you. Especially when he saw how upset you looked as you glared at your reflection.

“Whatcha mumbling about, baby girl?” His voice pulled you from your whisper rant.

“I just.” You paused, letting the shirt fall as you turned to look at him walking in. “I don’t like myself right now.”

“Everyone has things they don’t like.” He smiled reassuringly as he wrapped his arms around you. “It might pass soon, it might not.” His tone becoming more serious. “But it doesn’t matter.” He paused to kiss your nose. “Because until then, I’ll love you enough for the both of us.”

Minho: Goes to check up on you when he feels you’re taking too long to get ready only to find you struggling with your brand-new corset. Knows why you’re doing it but can’t help but feel upset when you tell him you’re only doing it ‘so the dress will look better’.

“So, one more piece of clothing to take off?” He sighed jokingly as his hands ran over the rough fabric instead of your soft skin, quickly taking it back as you slapped his arm. “I just don’t get how that’s comfortable.”

“It’s not.” You spoke truthfully. “But I’d rather this than feel weird all night.”

“How about we just don’t go?” He offered. “We can just stay home and lay in bed.” He gave you his best smirk with a wink. “Plus, we can be completely comfortable wearing those matching pajamas we got?”

Changbin: He hated how you constantly made self-depreciating jokes and was trying to help you stop, but of course, it would take time. It was the ones about your weight that got to him the most, feeling more upset that you saw yourself that way enough to joke about it.

“Me? In a tank top?” You cringed. “I can’t subject them to that.” You paused. “Maybe once I lose some wei-”

“Y/n,” He gave you a warning look. “You know I don’t like it when you do that.”

“I can’t help it.” You pouted. “It just slips out sometimes.”

Hyunjin: He couldn’t help but notice how you’d been managing to slip out of his hold the past couple days, especially right before bed, or when he was waking you up. When he finally brings it up, you just wiggle out his grip again.

“Why do you hate me?” He jokingly pouted.

“That’s not what I said.” You sighed. “I just.” You paused. “I feel weird right now.”

“Big hoodies?” He offered, smiling when you nodded. "I'll go get them."

Jisung: He’d been on tour and missed you asking for his opinion on your outfits. So, when he calls asking what you were wearing out that day, he doesn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Is determined to see how good you look and never shut up about it.

“I wanna see the outfit, love.” He looked over his camera as if it were going to do something. “If I wanted a description, I wouldn’t have video called.”

“But it looks weird~” You whined.

“Liar." He pouted. "Then at least show me so I can reassure you that it doesn’t~” He whined back.

Felix: When he first saw your new collection of baggy hoodies, he thought you were trying to be ‘cute’ and ‘soft’, but as it went on, he could tell there was another reason. He never liked to call you out, but when he overheard you talking about how weird you looked, he couldn’t keep it to himself anymore.

“So, you’re telling me you weren’t trying to look cute for me?” He pouted playfully.

“How did you manage to make this about you?” You tilted your head at your boyfriend, mildly annoyed.

“You know that’s not what I meant.” He sighed as he opened his arms for you to sit with him. “I just didn’t think you were having these issues.” He looked up at you as you sat in his lap. “We can talk about it now. Or later. I'm ready when you are."

Seungmin: Offered to let you use his when you started asking about skin care products, but was disheartened to find out you weren’t looking for facial care products. He didn’t ask for specifics, not wanting to push, but he also didn’t want to leave it unaddressed.

"Babe," He sighed, his hands wrapping around you lovingly. “You don't really think that, do you?" He paused to look at you, his heart pinging when you just shrug.

"They don't go away with exercise." You mumbled. "I just think I'd look bet-"

"Nope." He cut you off, not wanting to hear the rest of what you had to say, his arms opening for you. “You look perfect no matter what.” He reassured as he gave you grabby hands. "Now c'mere."

Jeongin: Notices that you started opting to wear longer shirts instead of your usual crop tops and can’t get over the nagging in the back of his head that it’s something he shouldn’t take too lightly.

“What about that cute shirt I bought you when I took you shopping?” He said as he walked towards you.

“I just hate that it shows.” You mumbled, playing with the hem of your shirt. “Y’know..”

“Shows what?” He asked genuinely. “How cute you are?”

[messydiabolical]

Just saw a poll about what in fanfics you dislike the most and it reminded me about a specific plot line I see in Thane fics a fair bit and, well I have a lot to say. I've thought about writing this before but I chickened out tbh, I hate getting into discourse generally. I feel the need to preface that this is personal opinion and feelings, no fic authors owe readers a damn thing, and you can write what you damn well want to! Just to make that abundantly clear. This is also not written with any one fic/author in mind, this aint some vague posting attack on any person in particular. It is a trope I have seen occur on multiple occasions with Thane in particular, and one that gives me a lot of feelings. I bloody LOVE a Thane lives AU. That's my jam, no doubt. It's a cathartic, soothing balm for me. And how you choose to get there can vary massively and I love that too. I would say that I prefer when his motivation to persue treatment is based in wanting to live for Kolyat and especially for himself, and not just because his love of Shepard. And while they break my heart, I also think stories that follow canon, or divert from canon but still have him die, are also super important and I applaud the writers who go there, because ouch. Disability and terminal illness are difficult, real subjects and having that representation is so important. I completely understand why there are people who dislike Thane lives. So to the thing I really dislike: nothing makes my stomach drop faster than the disregarding or removal of Thane's bodily autonomy/consent on his own health. They tend to go like this: Thane has decided not to persue any potential treatments, collapses/is rendered otherwise unable to have his say on the matter past his already stated wants, and while unconscious Shepard overrides his DNR wishes and has him given life saving or extending treatments. He wakes up and is upset at Shepard, but ultimately forgives or even thanks them for making that decision for him (basically saying that he was 'wrong' and Shepard was 'right'.) I do think this can be written in an interesting, character study way. There's also those grey area tangents: For example, what if the treatment suddenly becomes available after he's already unable to give consent, one that he was not aware of. Or what if the source of the treatment changes; before he was against a transplant because it would mean taking from another drell, but suddenly cloning or something else becomes available? etc. Perhaps such plot lines have been explored and I've missed them, because unfortunately after reading a handful of the type where he is just wholesale disregarded by Shepard if I get even a whiff of this kind of plotline I abandon the reading. As for why this does not sit well with me at all? It creates a situation where you have to basically make out that Thane was somehow in the wrong for ever feeling that way, that his acceptance of his terminal illness is bad, his motivations wrong. Again, something that can be explored- but not by just wholesale disregarding and overriding him then later teaching him why he was 'wrong'. We are getting into the very murky area of "if a person is depressed/mentally compromised by trauma/their past enough, they are no longer able to make decisions on their own health, this is for their own good'. And- yikes. Red alert. Because that is a story that needs to be handled with so much care, and it absolutely should not be used as a temporary source of angst to further a fucking romance plot. I think this hits hard for me especially as a disabled person who has had to deal with my fair share of medical fuckery. I'm also neurodivergent and have mental health issues. Advocating for myself is something I have had to battle many a time. Anyway hoo I had that one pent up hey? Again, I hope no one feels personally attacked by this. It's my own ick, one that might resonate with some, one that others might completely disagree with.

[softcallofdutyimagines]

Hi. Um, am not sure if you’ve ever heard about this or if you’d even be comfortable with writing about something like this. But how would Frank Woods / Naga react to their fem!s/o with Vaginismus?

Hey! I gotcha my dude

Woods

To be completely honest? If you preface the conversation with the fact that it's a serious deal you want to talk about, he can manage to keep a lid on his asshole, class clown personality and be present for the topic at hand.

He's got a lot of questions, not all of which you have to answer of course, but medical shit isn't really his area of expertise so he's hoping you can forgive him if he overwhelms you or anything. Luckily for you both, ole Frank's got a steel trap up there- once he gets it, he gets it and you won't have to explain anything again.

Mostly his questions will probably be limited to wanting to know if there's anything else outside of sex that'll cause you pain- once he knows how to carry on going forward with this information, it's all good. At the end of the day, past that prickly outer layer of his- he never ever wants you to feel like you can't tell him things. Especially important stuff like this.

You're the best thing to ever come into his life, you know? And he loves you way too much to blow what you two have over something as stupid as abstinence. Or even just very very limited intercourse, for that matter, assuming such an option were even on the table.

And besides, he's getting older now anyway- you may or may not be surprised to know that his appetite for that kind of stuff isn't exactly what it used to be, so trust him when he tells you it's really not that big a deal. In fact, a few months in, and I guarantee it's not even a thought in his mind anymore

Naga

Between you and me, I think of the two, Naga is far more likely to take it in stride tbh. Between running his territory, organizing his operation/underlings, dealings and missions for Perseus, ect ect- you have a hard time seeing much of him at all to begin with. And when he is back? He's so wiped out, getting it on is usually the last thing in his mind.

He does his absolute best to make time for you on the occasions that he is able to lay low for a while, so it won't be hard to find a time to talk about it once he's actually around- hell, he's practically glued to your side when he is. Naga is known to be a little more, dare I say, silly then most- but to his credit, he doesn't have to be told when it's time to switch gears into business mode.

When you break out the topic, of course he's sorry to hear that for you, but he doesn't exactly catch on to why you seem to be all but waiting for him to explode over it. He has his moments with his subordinates and rival Warlords of course, but not even in his worst nightmare could he ever get upset at you.

Maybe during a time when he's more rested and been able to digest what you've told him, he'll revisit the topic and ask some questions about it- but at the end of the day if "very little to no sex" isn't a big deal to you, then you can rest assured he feels the same way.

Besides, in his time Naga has found that there are very, VERY few problems that money can't solve- particularly when you have the kind of... Resources, that he does. So really, if there's some sort of procedure or medication that would help you, all you have to do is say the word if you want it.

If not though, don't worry your pretty head over it- he's not bothered :)

[trickscourse]

whats the deal with your kid

I'm not going to disclose the full situation because someone did start harassing them!

I've known this kid since pre-pandemic, I'm not saying where for both of our safety but we've been friends for a bit! Their friends have reached out with trans questions (like the Amazon binder thing) and the most I've done is go to a school play a town over.

Despite what Sunny thinks, it is fine for a teenager to be friends with someone a few years older than them as a sibling or mentor figure. Me being an idiot teenager 4-5 years ago who didn't understand things are wrong doesn't mean I haven't learned from things since.

This kid, someone I see as a sibling is someone I kept bumping into at my job several times over the past few years and they started following me around like a duckling, it was cute. At one point they found my instagram and I told them to ask their parents if they could follow me.

After a bit, they and their boyfriend/friend group kept calling me their dad/gay dad friend which I wasn't okay with. I don't want to be a parent, so I asked to be called an older brother or an uncle, and I asked them what they wanted to be called, and they just said "the kid" or "my kid".

Which is fine, not everyone likes certain gendered terms and it was their decision and it helps me avoid calling them by their name. A few times I've asked them if they wanted to be called something different, and they said being called my kid is fine.

I gave them my email to give to their parents, which led to exchanging phone numbers. Their parents have asked me on occasion to check in with the kid when I'm at my job and make sure they eat, where they are and how they're doing since they're allergic to using their phone, what time they need to be picked up.

My kid doesn't have my actual phone number. I have my personal one and my professional one, and we usually talk over Instagram. As much as Sunny likes to think I'm a creep, I really don't like hanging out with kids or much of a desire to go out of my way to speak to them.

I speak to their parents often, but their parents aren't great! The adopting thing happened when last winter they called me 3-4 times over then span of a few months crying really hard that their parents locked them out and took their other siblings out of state for a few days to a week, and they wanted to stay over so they wouldn't be locked outside in the New England winter.

The adopting thing was taken out of context, because I felt awful seeing this child get locked out of the house for days at a time, usually on school break, in very bad weather. I wanted to have them stay with me for a few hours to MAYBE a night so they'd be warm, but didn't want to drag them here in case their parents got upset and legal shit would be involved or I would get accused of kidnapping.

I REALLY don't want a kid staying in my apartment, there isn't much room (I know Sunny probably downloaded the fucking floor plan by now) and it would be a hassle but it's the best option between this child possibly sleeping outside or staying in a homeless shelter filled with strangers and CPS might get involved.

We don't talk much at the moment because I'm scared of people stalking them, but I don't want to be a parent, I'm terrified of continuing the cycle of abuse my parents put on me in any way and I can't afford to.

Tbh that's all I can think of from here about them? They're a good kid who bothers me sometimes to play Fortnite with them and talks to me about Omori and I talk to them about old fandom shit.

I never said Sunny contacted them, I don't think she's that much of a creep yet even though she knows my old address.

Someone asked them about one of my headmates, and I don't talk to them about my mental health stuff often so I changed the topic.

[elis-exists]

So, I just watched the S3 finale of The Owl House and I have a lot to say. Spoilers ofc. Also please tell me if The Collector's pronouns are He/Him or They/Them. I use He/Him in one paragraph and They/Them in another, so please tell me thanks!

The ending for The Owl House and Amphibia felt similar (IN A GOOD WAY) with the protagonist "dying", coming back to life with grand power to end the massive threat, and then living again with the proper chance to say goodbye. I have to say, this got me crying/tearing up on a few occasions, especially with how childish and pure The Collector is. (I just realized I have to change my pfp I'll do that later) He just wants to make friends, but he's unaware of how to do so because everyone he's met has used him for their own advantage.

The Collector is one of my favorite characters because he's like me; We don't know how to make friends properly and just hope it works. They just want to help and I can't blame them, especially when Luz takes the hit for them. The fact that it took them a bit to realize that Luz was actually gone broke me. The Collector is so pure. I love them and want them to be my friend. Also, when Luz, Eda, and King were showing The Collector how they became friends, they started looking upset and during the games they played. They felt left out and I can understand that, making me relate to them more.

Raine is my most favorite character for various reasons but that's for another post. The fact that they were possessed by Belos as a puppet was like "Bitch what the fuck?!". Also, the fact that the moon sticker came off to reveal Raine's original outfit was like a punch in the stomach and I can't explain why. I wanna give props to them for fighting off the little shit that is Belos and the fact that Raine broke their violin to protect the Titan's heart just shattered me, especially since it didn't work.

Closer to the middle/end where the trio (Luz, Eda, and King) come to save Raine, they were whistling Eda's Requiem and I had to get up from my bed and just stop like "damn stop trying to break my heart" so yeah. At least they and Eda got their happy ending tbh good for them.

There are also a few things I want to point out that aren't long enough to have paragraph explanations, but I don't want to gloss over them:

Camila as a puppet was crying when Luz's light particles(?) entered The Archives, giving her that motherly instinct that her daughter is gone without her even realizing it.

The Collector was going to sacrifice themself to save everyone else in The Archives probably because Luz sacrificed herself for them.

Everyone (I think) understood that The Collector wanted to help and let him.

WILLOW'S DADS GOT TO KISS ON SCREEN AYOO???? I WAS SO FUCKING HAPPY YOU WOULD'VE THOUGHT I WAS ON A SUGAR RUSH!!!

Alador and Darius got a gay scene (okay maybe not gay but it gave off the vibes, especially since I ship them.) (The scene is during the credits when Owlbert is getting the others in The Demon Realm)

The fact that the birds just don't care that the trees on the Titan's arm are sideways and just perch there anyways is amazing.

Everyone got a glow-up and I'm here for it

I love how overly animated some of the scenes are. It makes it more immersive and energetic and I am here for it as well.

The Titan in The Inbetween wearing a Bad Girl Coven shirt and Glyph pajama pants with a little Hooty replacing his right eye is something I thought I'd never see, but I love it. He's such a dad.

The "I loaf you" message The Titan wanted Luz to give to King is such a dad thing to do and I fucking love it. Gave me something to laugh about after the angst I just witnessed.

FLAPJACK'S GRAVE

Hunter working with Eda's dad (I'M SO SORRY I FORGOT HIS NAME I KNEW IT BEFORE) in Palisman carving is just AHHHHHHHH MY HEART

Everyone growing up and doing what they love is so amazing I wish Disney didn't cancel TOH so that we could've had more exploration, especially the lore.

Raine's face is stained from Belos' goop and it looks like they've been crying forever and idk what to say.

GUS' DAD HUGGING THE ILLUSIONS BEFORE HUGGING GUS LIKE IK HE DIDN'T KNOW WHICH ONE WAS GUS BUT THE IDEA THAT HE'S WILLING TO HUG ALL THE ILLUSIONS TO GET TO HIS SON IS JUST AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

That's not all I have, but for rn it is. Tell me what you thought about the finale. If you made it this far, tell me which version of Raine I should cosplay (the original, the puppet, or the glow-up/finale version)

[keichanz]

hey i'm still alive

👀

uh so. how's it going. thought i'd give a little life update in case anyone was curious or interested >> tho probs not ;lajdfk;l

yeah i know i've been mia for like. a long time now, and tbh there's no particular reason why. i know i've lost some followers because i've been so inactive and haven't written anything in a long ass time. i do apologize for that. a lot has happened in the last few months and i guess i just wanted to give my friends and follows a brief little overview of what's been going on in my life and to prove that i am indeed still alive lol.

so most of you all know by now that i finally landed a good paying remote job yeah? and at first it was amazing. now? not so much. the schedule sucks ass, the management is balls, and the actual work sucks even more. i'm not happy there anymore so i'm currently looking for a new job. and im so desperate to get out of there i'm looking outside of remote jobs as well.

right now i'm waiting to hear back from an office technician job right here in my town that pays $27 an hour. TWENTY. SEVEN. guys that's $8 more than what i'm making right now ($19 an hour.) oh my GOD if i made that money i'd be able to finally move out of this god awful house with a flea problem that i CANNOT get rid of (my poor babies :( i've legit tried everything, even fucking professionally treated this house with orkin to get rid of them, had both of them get flea baths by a groomer and STILL i cannot get rid of the damn fleas. it's so fucking stressful y'all you cant even begin to imagine), finally get new tires for my truck, and live comfortably with extra spending money without having to worry about paying rent or buying groceries for the month. i'm PRAYING i get this job. even if it's not remote that pay would make it SO worth it.

anyway. moving on.

i've also gotten into a relationship with someone i was desperately in love with, then got my heart broken because he ended things. it hurt a lot. i got over it though, with the help of some pretty amazing friends, and one of my best friends. and right now, i'm currently dating that best friend lmao. so i'm in another relationship, and i'm very happy with him. our relationship began at the end of june, i believe. (i'll never forget the day he asked me to be his. y'all my hearT MELTED 😍😍)

it's a long distance relationship as tom lives in canada, but he did recently come to see me as evidenced by the photo above. i love this man y'all. he's amazing. there is one thing i'm kinda worried about with our relationship, but i won't get into that because thinking about it upsets me. but anyway he makes my very happy. ❤️

so that's pretty much what's been happening. i just haven't really been inspired/motivated to write at all lately, and i do apologize for that. it's just been a very overwhelming few months, with dealing with this damn house, ending a relationship and starting a new one, stress from a job that i'm really beginning to hate, trying to find a new one, and just a few other small things that aren't worth mentioning.

i do hope you all know that this doesn't mean i've abandoned writing or abandoned any of my stories. it's just been difficult to write anything lately but that doesn't mean i don't want to. i still love inuyasha. it's still my favorite anime. i still read fanfic (on occasion, when i have the time as i'm pretty much in a 24/7 discord call with tom except right now because he's at a dentist appt which is why im taking the time to write this -3-) and i still do think about my stories. hell, sometimes i even get an idea for a good oneshot and think to myself "shit i need to write that down" but then i forget about it and hate myself for the next 24 hours -_-

so yeah. that's what's been going on. i'm still around. i still get on here and reblog a few posts, mostly the ones i'm tagged in or some nice fanart. i do miss y'all and i hope my absence hasn't upset anyone or made them think i'm done with the inuyasha fandom. i'm most definitely not. it's just...sort of taking a backseat for now until i sort some things out in my life. definitely not preferable, but it is what it is, y'know.

my dear readers, followers, and friends, i love you all so much and i'm glad you've stuck around this long even though i haven't been around. you're the reason why i'm still here, why i want to someday get back to writing and giving you more content to enjoy and gush over. thank you for your patience with me and still giving love to my stories after all this time. i still get the occasional review for one of my stories, and trust me, i read every single one of them and they make my entire day. it's so nice knowing people are still reading my work and enjoying it. maybe it's selfish, but i hope you never stop, because reading those reviews gives me a huge boost when i'm feeling down on a particular day and it makes me feel like i haven't been forgotten, though by every right i should have been.

okay i've rambled long enough. in short, i just want to say thank you. you're all rockstars. i love you all. ❤️

until next time, my lovelies.

[muraenide]

okay so talking to allie earlier this afternoon made me realize that while Jade & Floyd's relationship is inconsistent via Floyd's cards, Jade's card had been the opposite: it is always consistent. In not a single card of Jade's that Jade ever spoke negatively of Floyd. Jade's always showed fondness towards Floyd, even Jade's usual sarcasm is never there. Fair to say enough, if Jade ever really disliked anyone, he would have been working his way to eliminate them from his life, and this goes for pretty much everyone tbh, not just Floyd.

This actually made me feel relieved because I always headcanon Jade as someone who possesses a disability to communicate. No, he doesn't refuse communication. He's not emotionally stunted. He simply keeps to himself a lot, and is overall someone who is very private about his thoughts. Ironically, he's rather willing to communicate when prodded to. It's the fact that Jade is obviously a very reticent person. He can't be trusted to speak his true mind on his own accord. Most of Jade's thoughts are processed in his head and they rarely make it out in speech unless that person is very, very lucky or know Jade well enough to know that he needs to be handled this way. Jade just thinks and does a lot, but speaks very little. Even when he does, it's not always true to his real thoughts.

Deep down, while not going too far to call it love, Jade's very capable of fondness and letting the little things in his life anchor his happiness. He's shown to be reluctant to do anything that would stop Floyd from having fun, and he's down to be defensive when Floyd's happiness is being threatened. The tweel's "Dislikes" are very compatible with each other, with Jade hating "organized harmony" and Floyd hating "being restrained". It shows that they are likely to get along more than not getting along. Since if one were to invert their dislikes, that means Jade likes chaos, and Floyd likes being unrestained, their likes are what keeps each other entertained and happy even on non special occasion.

And ultimately, to Jade, what Floyd thinks of him doesn't matter. To Jade, he's his own person and so is Floyd. I feel that he does know that sometimes Floyd might misunderstood or doubt his intentions, but Jade's not the type of person who would let such things bother him for long. Floyd is allowed to have his own thoughts, change them as things passed, or not, if Floyd decides that they don't resonate after all. But Jade will always regard Floyd as someone irreplacable in his life. He'll love Floyd even if Floyd hates him. He'll still love Floyd even if Floyd decides to up and leave.

Jade doesn't hand-hold or walk him for the rest of his life, and he actually spends less time with Floyd versus what the vast majority might think/assume. He almost never talks to Floyd either about what's on his mind or what he wants to do. But you bet he's watching Floyd's body language most of the time and studying/evaluating him. And if he comes back home seeing Floyd unusually upset and someone's responsible for it, there's hell to pay.

[safyresky]

Hello, it me.

I'm bothering you yet again so that I can hear you talk about your amazing characters >:)

This time specifically The Season Sisters! Spring is in FULL SWING where I'm at and I just wanna know more about them tbh. I'm craving fun facts about each of them, anything you can tell me I will gladly consume like the finest meal. Please and thank you.

Well THIS is gonna be fun!

As much as I WANT to start with Summer, I'll start with Spring since you're right! Spring IS in full swing! Everything is BLOOMING and my nose is so runny every morning on the way to work I hate it :)

And of course, obligatory read more bc this. got out of hand. OF COURSE.

Spring

Tries way too hard. WAY too hard. While her other sisters came to being outside of Mother Nature's Garden, Spring formed there!

Because of that, she had a front seat to all of Gaia and Tara's business leading up to the Call, and even though NEITHER of them EVER said anything like "EVERYTHING IS UP TO YOU" or "YOU MUST BE THE BEST AT EVERYTHING YOU DO" or "YOU'LL TAKE OVER FOR US ONE DAY SO MAKE SURE YOU'RE WORTHY OF IT", she fully believes sentiments like this and will go above and beyond to please Mother Nature and the other seasons

Despite all of them telling her to chill out for 5 seconds and Mother Nature never putting more weight on her shoulders than any of the other seasons.

She doesn't think she's good enough ): And doesn't think she should be the season to take over if Mother Nature ever retires ):

What she doesn't know is that all three sisters were ADAMANT that Tara pick her over them bc they felt she was best suited! Her sisters love her very much! Even Winter!

Spring gets a lot of shit from humans about allergies during her season, so she totally sympathizes with Winter's plight of runny nose complaints (unless it's March/April or August/September. then they're beefing. No room for compassion when ur FIGHTING TO THE DEATH FOR UR DAMN SEASON TO TAKE OVER FOR IT'S DESIGNATED TIME SLOT)

Is very intense, especially when it's someone she really loves (see: the invasion of PLANTS in Frost Manor)

She just cares a LOT and of course, goes way over the top to show it, disgruntling Winter and Summer a lot!

She and Summer bond over florals! Summer can also do a bit of floral work (some things bloom in summer, not spring, after all) and she and Spring have fun times hanging out making flowers and petals and such!

She is the smallest season at about 5"0-5"3 (152-161cm)

Hair is constantly shedding flower petals :\

She's very good at embroidery!

Her love language is DEFFS gifts (see: Winter's plant filled house, yet again)

We know she BEEFS with Winter when they switch seasons, but what about the season after her? Well, she and Summer do NOT beef as much, but Spring is always perplexed at how sudden Summer weather tends to creep in

"It's May, and it's 27 degrees," Spring says, low key annoyed.

"I know about as much as you do, sis," Summer says with a shrug, just as perplexed but not terribly upset about the heat

Summer

LOVES the heat lol, the hotter the better

Is very upset about climate change for all the obvious reasons AND bc it's giving heat a bad name and, as previously stated, she likes the heat

Is the tallest Season Sister, at about 6"0 ish, 6"1 ish

Is BUFF! Is NOT a gym buff tho, lol, she just does a LOT of sports. every sport. Loves sports. Plays all the sports. She is a VERY ACTIVE SEASON, always somewhere doing something, helping out somewhere, even on vacations she's pretty active!

Vacations every year with Winter! Usually in May! On occasion in October :)

Wishes she could have all of September but is fine with sharing it with Autumn, really, she swears (does not care as much for February. Thinks September is a Neat Month)

She swears, as an aside. Likes the F-Word a normal amount

Is everyone's favourite Aunt! She's just really laid back and chill and the most extroverted out of all 4 siblings!

Was the first of the seasons Mother Nature and Spring found post-Call! Spring did not need to be found bc Gaia and Tara knew she was floating around for the longest time lol

Summer found Winter post-call :)

MN really wanted to go check on the Princes bc she had NO IDEA if The Call took the King and Queen as well, but she needed to find the Seasons first, so Summer went let's divide and conquer, I'll go North, you go not North and North ended up being on the money

Summer is very good at compromise but rather leave it to Autumn who is very good at being level-headed. Not that Summer isn't level headed; she's just a little sassy and very blunt and is not afraid to speak her mind. And sometimes. Does not think before she speaks.

Or thinks and goes "fuck it, imma say this thing! if this person can't deal with it then that's their problem!"

Is TECHNICALLY, in body, the oldest season. When MN "adopted" (found) them, Summer was teen-sized. Spring and Autumn were kid-size. Winter was toddler-size.

Summer absolutely ADORES all her niblets, yes, even the (formerly) evil one, and is always happy to teach the what she knows! Blaise has got it, but Summer LOVES teaching and he knows and appreciates the help (both he and Winter do tbh)

Would always happily take the kids from Winter to give her and Blaise a break. She has the BEST sleepovers

More often than not, Spring and Autumn partake in these sleepovers too. Summer's FUN and has a great way of making you feel at ease and okay and carefree and not worried!

When Fiera goes to her upon turning 2000 to ask her to give her the full summer sprite curriculum she almost cries she's so happy

Taught Blaise the full Summer sprite curriculum since his parents didn't actually go that far and she thought it was a DAMN SHAME the only other summer sprite she knew of didn't know ALL the things!

(Blaise doesn't do the sunlight thing though as he doesn't want to cross into her domain :)

She can also make it rain! And THUNDER. She's great at thunder and lightning, makes Mother Nature proud lol

Has a green thumb for fruit trees and fruiting plants! Makes GREAT wine (has a personal preference for reds)

Is my favourite of the Season Sisters (don't tell Winter I said that)

Autumn!

She is very level headed, laid back but in the opposite way from Summer (Summer is extrovert laid back; Autumn is introvert laid back)

Except for one time of year: HALLOWEEN

October comes and she is on some next level of energy, my god. Scares the shit out of Summer by creeping up on her a LOT, usually with decor or costumes or weird shit in general

Summer takes it with a grain of salt lmao

Outside of Halloween, Autumn does have a bad habit of sneaking up on most people. Not on purpose, of course! It just happens!

She always kinda creeps into Summer like this meme:

Apples are her favourite fruit (all of them)

Makes a great cider!

She's got the veggie green thumb, but her pumpkins are AMAZING.

Is the most introverted out of all four siblings

She is also very wise; very inquisitive. She's like a quiet learner, and often will shock people with what she knows

And shocks people as well, sometimes she gets a little static-y

Can ALSO make it rain! Her rainstorms are weirdly calming sometimes?

Can ALSO do a bit of Frost! Winter had fun teaching her that :P

Would have silent competitions with Jack with frosty designs on grass, windows, etc. (he won more often than not, after all, it's his SPECIALTY and he does most of the Frost, Autumn only does a little bit :)

Her range of powers also includes the ability to make things decay. It was a hard one to get the hang of when she first formed, but she got the hang of it easy enough!

I'm not saying that she could touch someone and kill them dead, but I'm not...not saying that 😶

She's very good at puzzles!

Has too many books to read ):

Lives in cozy sweater dresses

Has offered to help Spring not shed petals everywhere (since she had the same problem with Autumn leaves), but Spring declined bc she actually likes raining petals and low key does it on purpose (the aesthetic!)

She's plump and is about average height (5"6-5"9, I'd say)

Loves farming! Her crops are BOUNTIFUL which checks out as one of the sprites responsible for her creation was known as Harvest :)

She, Spring, and Summer worked together closely to get farmlands/crops/food production to boom after the monarchy was disbanded, post Civil War

Like Spring, she is a planner! Instead of vacationing with her opposite season, the two of them get together weekly in the off season for hot chocolate and tea and such, and planning sessions for their next bout of season-ing!

Autumn works closely with the animals, anthropomorphic magibeans, and forest dwelling magibeans on the daily

May have a fling of sorts with a Faun 🤔

Likes astronomy a normal amount

Winter

Ha. Bet y'all thought I wouldn't go off about Winter Fucking Frost, eh?

Since she has the MOST content so far out of all her sisters?

gUESS THE FUCK AGAIN

Winter is the baby of the family so you can see why all three seasons were so. Hover-y after the Day of Darkness

She's also always been the most motherly out of all of them, weirdly enough! You'd think, you know, given being the embodiment of the coldest, most barren, HARDEST season, she'd be very cold herself, right? WRONG. Winter's always been very motherly.

Winter falling in love and getting married kind of shocked all of the Seasons AND Mother Nature? None of them had thought about any of the seasons "settling down" so this was a very brief moment of "oh, wait, that's a thing?" followed by "oh of COURSE that's a thing!"

After Winter got married and moved out, the other Seasons found/made their own places!

MN was sad to have the Garden empty but also, kinda enjoyed having the place to herself again, and found she quite liked when the kids or her son in law or her grandkids would pop in suddenly for visits!

Winter is the most chaotic out of her siblings. She mellowed with age, but it is still there. Brewing. She will do chaotic things if the need arises, and Blaise deffs does NOT discourage her unless it is not a workday

Summer joins in on the chaos. Spring activates it unintentionally and gets mad about it. Autumn diffuses the chaos.

Winter was lanky as a kid but filled out when she was older; is weirdly lanky and curvy at the same time. It is perplexing. Second shortest season clocking in at about 5"4.

Weirdly enough, she seems to have a penchant for growing evergreen trees. This confuses her quite a bit given that winter isn't really known for being a tree growing season, and yet!

She loves the sunrooms in her house because plants can bloom in it! One of the traits you pick up when your Mother is Mother Nature: appreciation for flowers and plants!!!

Her vibe check is always accurate. If someone is iffy, she knows

Knits!

And some fun facts about all the seasons:

Spring lives in a little cottage in a lovely meadow exploding with wildflowers on the edge of Quartz Forest, in the Western Province

Summer has a cliff side, beach side villa way up the hills in the Southern Province

Autumn has a nice chalet in the Eastern Province, surrounded by apple orchards and pumpkin patches and sunflowers and cornstalks and just on the edge of the Scar, aka, the Forsaken Forest, which got it's name bc Mother Gaia scorched the earth, cursing the land to never grow.

Autumn low key guards it

Spring, Summer, and Autumn's power domains overlap quite a bit; Autumn and Winter's overlap a tad as well.

They all kind of overlap given that seasons do overlap on occasion and they could all, in theory, become Mother Nature

When Blaise asked Winter to marry him, the other seasons worked together to make a beautiful ceremony THAT NIGHT since Blinter was so excited they committed crime just to get married right then and there

Spring planned a big wedding bash for them later in the year. Blinter was very relieved when they had to leave it ASAP bc baby #1 was upset about not being at the party and decided he was gonna come then and there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Spring immediately attempted to plan a baby shower, despite Winter saying NO, and had to be tackled down and talked down by Summer and Autumn (in that order)

ANYWAY I hope these were some fun fun facts! If ever you want any deets or me to elaborate please don't hesitate to ask! (This goes for EVERYONE :D). I think the Season Sisters are some of my most underdeveloped characters, and asks like this really help me think about them and what they like, what they do, how they interact, etc :)

And of COURSE, as ALWAYS, ty for the ask Andie!!! I love and appreciate every one and will wallpaper a room with them if given a chance to do so 😍

everyone deals with traumatic events differently, maybe Colby chose to keep working for the purpose of keeping busy and to take his mind off this terrible thing that he was going through. It's a very human coping mechanism.

I say this because this is my escape mechanism for some medical things that I have gone through similar to Colbys, the doctors even encouraged me to keep busy and to try and continue doing things like work and tbh if I hadn't I think I would have given up or lost myself to the darkness.

So taking a break is all well and good but it might not have been what he needed at the time for his mental sanity (we already know in one moment of quiet where he was not keeping busy he messed around with the bald filter on his phone which is a hint that quiet doing nothing time allowed the thoughts to seep in, because they do seep in anytime your not finding some way to keep busy when going through that), so please don't be mad at him for not taking one when he was going through it all.

By the sounds of it from the podcast now the stressful thing has passed and he has the all clear they are planning some kind of holiday in November, hopefully it will be a long one because I do agree Colby especially needs a break. I also agree that he needs to talk to a professional now as well and maybe he does but we don't know about it, I mean it took ages for Sam to confess to seeing someone as it's a very private thing and not everyone feels comfortable saying they see a therapist especially if they are under the publics eye.

i'm not mad that he didn't take a break. if it's coming across like that, that's not my intention. if anything it's heartbreak for him, maybe frustration at the most. i agree with you that he probably had to work thru the diagnosis and chemo bc otherwise it would have gotten bad for him mentally. that's for sure. and i get why he did it, bc at the end of the day he's a work horse. both him and sam don't know how to take an actual break, with absolutely no working whatsoever. i mean even posting for us or anything. they don't know how to do that.

my issue is that it seemed like, to me, that he needed a break way before even finding out he had cancer. last year wasn't exactly a great time for him. he seemed really upset for a while, even talked about not really liking himself/his appearance. it seemed like, to me, his summer was kinda spent feeling this way. along with everything else that went on last year, i just think the last half of the year he seemed off.

then on xplrclub, they did a final podcast at the tail end of december and he talked about his vacation by himself for three days in hawaii - one of them being christmas itself - and that was the most enthused i've seen him in a while. he seemed so happy to take a break. he even joked about looking at real estate in hawaii. and sam…. talked about wanting to jump back into working, but knew nothing would happen until after new years since ppl don't start working until then. and colby, to me, did not seem happy to get back into things. he didn't seem upset, but you could just tell he probably wanted more time to chill out. they talked about how much work they had last year and how they weren't sure how to top that (as if any of us really needed them to do that, but that's besides the point). and colby has mentioned on more than one occasion about getting overwhelmed and stressed out over the workload they set for themselves.

all of this is to say, that while i get why he worked during the entire cancer process, chemo included, it clearly didn't help him in the long run. bc he never got to work thru what having cancer even truly meant. he literally lost a body part and went thru something traumatic and did not process any of it. i get preoccupying yourself, but that doesn't mean you force yourself to not realize what you're going thru. that's no better. i mean, he said it himself that he doesn't even think he's come to terms with the fact he had cancer and that he lost a part of himself. and that he's gonna have to deal with that for the rest of his life. he himself said that almost verbatim on xplrclub. again, i get not wanting to lose yourself to the darkness, but you can't ignore it either. it's still gonna be there whether you turn your back to it or not.

that's why i feel like after he knew he was cancer free, instead of headfirst diving into work again like nothing happened (after a week of binge drinking in japan), he should have took time to really heal or actually take a break. bc it seems like once he had an ounce of time to think about all he's been thru, it was too much for him. and forcing yourself to work instead of facing your problems is not the best strategy, i'm sorry. not only that, he pointed out (based on what he said in an extended version of the 'i have cancer' video he put on xplrclub) that one of the reasons he went back into work during chemo was bc he felt like so many ppl relied on him to get better and jump back into things like nothing changed. obviously he worked bc he wanted to, but i think he also thought he couldn't take a break or shouldn't, at the very least. and that's just not healthy. it was funny back in the day for snc to joke about not having a work/life balance, but that's not the case anymore. the fact they don't have personal lives as much as they should have is concerning, not cute.

and again none of this is meant to be me saying colby's dumb or stupid for his decisions. i'm not saying that at all and i don't feel that way either. i get why he chose what he did. i just wish he understood that taking a break is also a valid, and really necessary, choice that he should make. sam included. they both went thru hell and i don't think they've realized it bc they force a smile and keep pushing on. you can only say 'it is what it is' so many times.

and as for the therapy, i truly hope he is seeking something out. whether it's with a professional or even in a group setting. just something. and i get him not wanting to tell us if that is the case. totally understandable, i don't fault him if he is seeking treatment but isn't saying anything to us. i don't personally think he is just bc he hasn't even alluded to it and he has always talked so positively about mental health and seeking treatment when you need it, that i find it a bit strange for him to not mention it if he was. but again, it's his choice and if he wants to tell us, cool. and if not, also cool.

I was thinking about facial expressions on my way home from work because of my coworkers telling me how expressive (facial expressions specifically in this case) i am, and decided to share my thoughts here… but about the trio instead

-

Sterling -

Has R.B.F… if they're not masking. Though masking or not they just look tired no matter what

They mask around… almost everyone tbh. Hell, 60% of the time they're masking around Finn; absolutely scared tf outta her the first time Finn saw Ster NOT masking. Double hell, they're masking in front of the camera absentmindedly every time as well. Only person in the WVBA anyways they won't mask around is Atlas... then again they live and grew up together so that may say something- When not actually masking they just look like they're gonna murder someone (they're not but still has a look that can probably kill a man) Atlas is just used to it tho so doesn't question the look

Either way if in a face to face conversation they're… incredibly expressive actually (and yes, this surprises a lot people as well because of their outward look and "not social/antisocial" vibe)… as in you can literally tell their thoughts and emotions so easily with their facial expressions alone. Which does makes them a terrible liar btw, though they can beat around the bush well to avoid lying straight up. They're BRUTALLY honest with everything and everyone no matter the subject

Either way most people will probably only see them as being very expressive, but on rare occasions mainly when overstimulated or just not knowing anyone is around they'll have R.B.F. on while working on the cameras in the ring when no one's around

Atlas -

Just you can tell only his emotion on his face... most of the time

Shockingly not as expensive as Ster

Actually the Happy/Content expression is both his resting face and his way of masking

It's incredibly rare to see him sad/angry at anything. The only person that knows any signs that he's internally like that is Ster

Honestly it's hard to get him that upset/angry in general so it's a pretty rare sight for even Ster on that

Finn -

Expressive as shit. Though usually has a smile mischievous or not on her face

Mf generates chaos every and it shows with her facial expressions

Unlike the two doesn't really mask, at least not as much as Ster/Atlas

Typically means she's about to start chaos... And Sterling usually has to stop her-

Only time she does is to "tone herself down" for usually kids but sometimes others as well

She can absolutely do the ">:3" face. And in general just the ":3" mouth thing.

hey bestie <3 can i get a sirius black x fem!gryffindor!reader angst to fluff with prompt 17, where they used to date but they break up because his ‘fan girls’ were making her really insecure but they are both still hopelessly in with eachother. ok so anyway, they come back after summer (breakup happend like the day before they left to go home) and they have the same friend group so sorta have to interact and the reader then gets all upset again because she still loves him and doesn’t think he loves her and also feels like he deserves better then her. and like remus or lily come in and convince her to try and get back with him :) tysmmm <3

i still love you y'know ✰ SB x reader

yesyesyes i really love this idea!! thank you 🙏

requested: yes/no (i'm still taking requests - although i have got quite a lot at the moment, tysm, so bare with me. i'm loving the requests but it may take me some time)

summary: after some time apart, it still bothers y/n that sirius's fangirls never take a break

warnings: jealousy? swearing, self pity tbh, tis a bit angsty. fluff. lemme know if i missed any

a/n: i have to be honest i don't. love this, it's kinda messy. but i hope this is ok and thank you for your request!

it had been over a month since he'd seen her, and fuck did he miss her. this summer was both his best and worst, being disowned sucked... but that being said him and james grew impossibly closer, becoming more than just best friends but brothers - family. he needed her to get through it, but then he had to remind himself that she ended it. she didn't want him anymore. she didn't love him anymore.

of course that wasn't true, but it's what he came to the conclusion of. y/n felt bad for the way she ended things, she felt bad for the explanation she gave - or lack there of. she felt stupid for being so jealous of the people fawning over her boyfriend, she couldn't blame them, but something in her snapped when it happened. it made her feel like she wasn't good enough. he had all these available options - there was no way she was the best.

it was a long summer break for both of them, neither quite managing to get their heads right. it's hard to when you've had no communication with the person you love most. but neither could bring themselves to do it, to write to the other. what would they even say?

when they caught each other's eye at the train station, they instantly turned away. the eye contact was enough to scare y/n into not even sitting in the same carriage as him, which unknown to her cause him to believe she hated him. lily was the one to knock sense into him "do you not realise why she broke up with you? she was obviously worried about the attention your 'fan girls' were giving you and felt insecure and like she wasn't enough for you. it's evident she doesn't hate you, i mean that's impossible. it's y/n we're talking about here"

but that analysis of her behaviour didn't help him, he couldn't help but feel like he did something wrong.

the two ended up sucking it up and hanging out together - they shared a friendship group and didn't want to divide them. but sirius still noticed weird patterns in her behaviour, every time a girl would come up to him trying to make an advancement at him - she'd scurry off. every time, without fail. was she still upset? 'she's probably just stressed with NEWTS' he'd tell himself over and over again.

after a month it was like they never dated, back to how they were when they were friends - laughing, hugging, smiling. they were happy. but what came with pre dating sirius was also him flirting, and he did. never to the same extent as before, he was still hopelessly in love with y/n, but he was trying to forget about her. which is extremely hard to do when she would be, well, her. she was always his sweet spot. but it was nice to be near her, it helped him through his family drama, even if she didn't realise it.

one specific occasion a girl called lillian foster came up to the group, she was very pretty, some might even say flawless. it made y/n anxious, he has every right to talk to her. i don't blame him if he liked her anyway. she'd tell herself. but it was still hard. as they were flirting she started tearing up, god she felt so stupid. as she got up, it wasn't unnoticed by remus. he followed her until she stopped at an abandoned hallway. as he embraced her she started spewing every thought locked up in her mind. "i want to tell him that it was a mistake but he probably likes someone else anyway. and-" remus cut her off "don't be silly. it's so obvious he's fawning over you again, even if he's an idiot and doesn't show it in the best way" she looked up at him, he gave her a sympathetic smile. "i know it's hard. but just give it a shot. if it goes to shit, blame me and i'll give you all the chocolate and ice cream you want and i won't blame you for moping" she laughed "ok. i guess i will. but if shit hits the fan then i will be blaming you"

as y/n walked through the hallways she got to the common room, knowing he'd be there.

"hey, can we talk?" she asked sheepishly, startling him slightly from his trance. "you look like you've been crying... are you ok? what happened?" he asked protectively, for a moment forgetting everything that happened between them over the past couple of months, finally feeling like they were ok again. even if just for a minute. "it's fine siri, seriously. just um, i'm sorry." he looked confused "what could you possibly be sorry for y/n/n?" in all honesty she never stopped feeling bad for the way she ended things. "when we-" she coughed awkwardly "when i" she corrected herself "broke up with you, i never gave you an explanation. and that wasn't fair. i know it's been quite a while and you probably don't care anymo-" he cut her off "i have to say this isn't where i thought this conversation was going, but that being said i do care. fuck y/n, of course i care. i've never stopped wondering why- was it me? did i do something wrong?" she felt her heart break at the way his face showed obvious upset. "no. of course not sirius. you never did anything wrong. i- ever since it happened i've regretted it. especially the way i did it, i- i just couldn't handle it anymore." he was confused to say the least, but he obviously relaxed after she told him it wasn't his fault "look- i know i sound stupid. lillian foster. she's a great example. it's just- she's beautiful, everything i'm not. she's flawless and spends every waking moment trying to fuck you!" it came out a tad harsher than she meant, but all this built up emotion was flooding out like a broken dam and she couldn't stop it.

"put yourself in my shoes, someone as incredibly perfect as lillian foster trying to gain your attention, it- it made me nervous ok! i was worried you'd realise how you deserve someone more like her, someone as beautiful as her. someone like- well her" sirius couldn't begin to express how bad he felt, y/n was perfect in his eyes and yet she was worried about someone as mundane as lillian? "y/n. you are perfect ok, don't ever doubt that for a second. i don't give two shits about her - god she's so boring! but you. you're everything to me y/n" it took her a bit by surprise but she just jumped into his arms - which shocked him aswell. but soon they were embracing like it was their last time, because truthfully there was a possibility it was.

"i still love you y'know. there i times i feel like i shouldn't, but i just can't help it" he whispered whilst they were still hugging. he didn't even realised he said it until she did, his mild panic faded away when he felt her smile against his collar bone "i love you too. i'm really truly sorry about what happened. i just get so overwhelmed, and i want you to be as happy as you can be. you deserve it. you deserve the world." as she looked up sirius captured her in a kiss. it was blissful, speaking all the worlds they hadn't yet spoke. it was perfect.

arguments.

A/n: happy Tuesday everyone! I hope your day is going alright. my week so far has surprisingly been great! let’s hope it stays that way :) anyways, enjoy everyone and stay safe!

Summary: arguments with their s/o.

Parings: Xiao/Reader, Zhongli/Reader, Albedo/Reader (all gn)

Warnings: arguments, fluff, angst

Word count: 1.3k

Requested by @fernackerman​

​

Xiao

if you and Xiao get into an argument, you best believe it’s over something serious 

they aren’t full-fledged screaming matches tho, he doesn’t wanna waste his energy on that

argument examples: boundaries, personal space, etc. 

he finds his personal space very important

he simply doesn’t engage petty arguments

why? because they’re a waste of time and energy

he can be difficult to deal with, let's be real

he’s blunt, though respectful, but he speaks his mind a lot, most of the time it just happens that way

so if you happen to argue, which surprisingly happens quite a bit because of his bluntness, you’re in for it

he’s not cruel, he’s not mean either, he’s just very, very blunt and DOES NOT CARE

he’s bold let's just say that

I feel like he doesn’t like overly clingy people, so if you happen to be clinging to him like a lost puppy, sorry, he’s going to be irritated and an argument will happen

he enjoys personal space and if you’re hanging all over him, he hates it so much

and trust me, he has a sassy retort for everything

“Quit clinging to me, it’s annoying.” Xiao snapped, pushing you away from him. 

“I’m barely clinging, you’re just bitter.” You huffed in annoyance. 

“Yeah, because you’re hanging off of me like a lost dog. Get off.”

don’t ask him stupid questions either, especially if you already know the answer to them and are trying to be funny, tease or get a rise out of him

he may seem like a fun sponge shh

do you have questions concerning his past? don’t ask... most likely if he hasn’t told you yet, there’s a good reason for it (he might one day)

so pls pls don’t do this, he’ll get all defensive and show you his wrath

“Stop asking so many questions, why do you need to know everything?”

“You’re annoying, I don’t know why I even put up with you...”

of course he doesn’t mean it, he's just upset and feels his privacy is being invaded

rule number one, don’t ask about his past if he hasn’t shown interest in speaking about it

don’t worry though, after arguments, despite his pride, he ALWAYS apologizes

he doesn’t want to lose you

you’re the one great thing in his life, he can’t lose you

he’ll apologize and give you a kith on your cheek muah

fight me I know despite being touch starved, his preferred love language is physical

Zhongli

y’all don’t argue, simple as that

so arguments usually don’t happen tbh

thank goodness

Zhongli is incredibly forgiving and the least argumentative of the three boys

the arguments are never serious (okay not never, but you get what I mean)

they’re usually playful, peaceful, zero malice behind words

“Zhongli, did you drink all the milk and not replace it?”

“So what if I did, dear.”

“I was going to use that to make a cake you brat!”

“Me a brat? You’re acting very bratty right now, dear.”

it’s arguments like these that are entirely playful and don’t leave you both angry at one another or bothered 

he doesn’t like arguing, with anybody!

he likes to keep the peace with his s/o

on the rare, rare, RARE occasion that there’s an argument it usually about your wellbeing

“I told you I’m fine! Archons, leave me alone, Zhongli.”

“You’re bleeding! I am trying to help you. Stop being childish.”

“Me childish? You worry about silly things.”

“This is not silly! I don’t want to see you hurt!”

he really, really cares and wants to protect you, so that’s going to be the root of the arguments

you putting yourself in danger really angers him, humans aren’t expendable in his eyes, you’re not expendable 

LISTEN TO HIM

please stop putting yourself in danger Y/n, or else you’re going to face an angry Archon

but even during arguments, he’s not mean at all

the point of the arguments aren’t to belittle you or make you hate him, no

they’re to make you realize that he’s worried about you

a wake-up call, I should say

his intentions are cruel or malicious, you just need to realize that he’s worried about you and that’ll fix everything

it doesn’t take Zhongli a long time to apologize, especially if you’re visibly upset

he’s apologizing immediately

right after the argument, he’s practically bowing at your feet, asking for forgiveness

he really does not want to hurt your feelings, he loves you so much

just listen to him when he has concerns and everything will be good 

Albedo

okay, you two don’t argue a lot, simply because Albedo is not a hostile or angry guy

he’s so gentle pls (how many times do I have to say we gotta protecc him?!?) 

he has no reason to argue with you, none at all

but arguing is normal, a healthy part of relationships he says, despite the obvious

the arguments happen when he’s usually stressed, other than that they don’t happen

so, you only argue if you touch something of his that he doesn’t want you to OR question his thinking and try to persuade him into believing a theory of your own

one, his lab is a complete mess, so yeah the thought is nice when you attempt to clean it yourself and the first few times he accepts it

a clean space is better than working in a messy and shrewd one

but if you constantly keep misplacing things and cleaning the area to the point where he can’t find or reach something, he’s going to be mad

“I’m not mad, but it really bothers me when you misplace my stuff.”

“You sound mad...And I’m sorry, I was just helping.”

“Well don’t.”

ummmm... just say you’re mad sir lmao

his anger is a different type of anger... he can be very passive-aggressive during arguments

he doesn’t want to make a big deal, but he’s going to show and let you know somehow that he’s bothered

two, don’t try to persuade his thinking or tell him his findings are incorrect/not valid

he despises this so much

nothing in the world is set in stone, science doesn’t have rules, unless it relates to equations

he’s not a puppet so don’t try to make him believe in what you do 

he may agree, but if he doesn’t don’t force it, he won’t like the idea of feeling like you’re trying to box him into a single thought

pls don’t do this, even if you mean well, don’t

and trust me when I say this, he prefers a s/o who questions his findings 

he WANTS you to be engaged with what he does, or else this will never work

so he enjoys that you question his findings and bring a better understanding to the table, possible other equations and even broaden his thinking

but he hates when you try to tell belittle his thinking/research and state you know something better than he does

that may be the case, but don’t lmao

of course you’d never do it on purpose, Archons no

“I really don’t think this is correct.” You said.

“There are no limitations to my research.”

“Yes but-”

“You sound like a know-it-all, did you forget I’ve studied this for years?”

yeah, end of the day, don’t touch his stuff, don’t try to be a puppet master or control him

but even then, you two don’t argue unless he’s very, very stressed

he works the hardest to apologize

he hates the idea of going to bed beside one another, and there being “bad blood”

he’s going to do whatever it takes to show his sincerity when he apologizes

because although this is not an excuse, his snappiness is majority of the time due to stress and that will be the only time he lets anger control his thinking

anon was talking about the rumors that harry wanted to leave the band and it reminded me of that one interview people theorize was when they first talked about it and ended up arguing (claiming that both zayn and harry wanted to leave)… maybe you could do a little body language analysis to kind of try and figure out the dynamics or what might possibly have happened?? just out of curiosity really!

https://youtu.be/exQszLf_AU0

Kind of a rough video to watch, tbh. I wish it was a full body shot because I'm curious what their feet placement is. That can be pretty telling.

Liam and Louis are easily the most dynamic in this interview. They move around the most and have fairly animated facial expressions indicative of being comfortable and seemingly enjoying what they're doing. They also bounce off each other the most and tend to hold eye contact longer with each other than the others. Could be indicative of trust and comfort.

Interestingly enough I'd say Zayn is the next in line, in terms of who looks the least miserable. He jumps in to speak, sings a little song in the middle, smiles on the occasion, nods like he's listening. He crosses his arms a lot which can be indicative of anxiety, defensiveness, distress etc. but because of what that's coupled with, I wouldn't automatically assume that him crossing his arms is a negative.

Niall, on the other hand, also crosses his arms. And his I would take negatively. I don't know under which branch but I would guess stress to some degree, or just simply not wanting to be there. He holds his hands in front of his chest when his arms aren't crossed (and fiddles with his fingers), barely cracks a smile, doesn't speak often, and is faced away from the group. How he's facing is VERY telling. And he turns away at one point to look in the complete opposite direction when Harry is answering a question.

Harry looks absolutely miserable in this interview and it was hard to watch. I don't think he smiles once. He barely speaks (only does when he's spoken to) and when he answers, he directs his attention to the people behind the camera - doesn't even really acknowledge who asked him the question, which would be Liam. His body is also angled away, although it's somewhat harder to tell because of how his arm is placed on the wall behind Zayn. His lips are sucked in, which can mean multiple things including: thinking, being uncertain about something, restricting yourself from speaking, stress, nervousness, tension, etc. - overall it's fairly negative, especially in this setting.

I don't know what happened but it's obvious something did. It's not typical stress of being on the road and doing interviews. It's stress within the band.

I can't say for sure what I think happened but I'll give my rough idea on who's on whose side.

Liam and Louis would be paired up because they have the best chemistry here and seem fairly comfortable with each other. Niall and Liam kind of seem okay since they can at least hold eye contact. Louis and Zayn are somewhat similar in that they at least acknowledge each others presence. Zayn's body also angles towards him at one point and they're able to hold conversation.

I would say there's tension between Harry and Niall. Besides the lack of interaction, Harry was in the middle of answering something, Niall jumped in, Harry kind of ignored him, then Niall turned away fully. To me, that said "embarrassment". Could also be frustration or general feelings of being upset.

Harry and Zayn seem to be kind of locked in to some kind of comfort. They look to each other several times in the interview and share seldom facial expressions as a form of silent communication.

Louis and Harry seem okay at best. Harry's body is angled away from him but he seems to gravitate towards him also so I don't sense really anything wrong there. Again, having the feet placement would be beneficial. The only issue I'd say is eye contact. There were a couple times where they both ignored each other's presence.

I could go on lol there's a lot of ways to look at it. But my short consensus is that it was some kind of argument between Harry and Niall. I would argue Zayn kind of sides with Harry (although he seems okay with the others), Louis possibly sides with Niall (again though he seems okay with the others), and Liam's more of a middle man trying to keep it all together.

Hi! I loooove your writings.

Could you write a one for me where the war ends and Harry goes to Ginny to apologize after sometime, but being the stubborn woman she is, she picks up a fight with him and says she doesn't want to see him again. He needed the most comfort during that time and that is when our reader (who was also his best friend) enters 🎉, she stays with him during his nightmares and all his PTSD episodes and comforts him, and being oblivious to both of them, they fall in love. And when Ginny sees them together, she realises she shouldn't have let him go and she goes to talk with him, he calls her off but forgives her anyway.

P.S- Ginny sees the reader and James after she finishes talking with Harry and it breaks her?

I know it will take a lot of time, but I hope you can write it for me, please 🥺🥺.

pairing: harry potter x muggle!reader 

warning(s): pg, hurt/comfort, angst

word count: 2.9k 

a/n: i decided to make it a muggle, childhood best friend reader because it just started to flow like that. i hope you don’t mind and i hope this is everything you wanted it to be. i really loved the idea of writing something like this because it’s so different than my usual on her and it was really fun for me tbh.

“Hi,” Harry said from the doorway, a boyish grin on his face as he looked at his girlfriend sitting on her bed. Well, ex-girlfriend. Maybe girlfriend? He wasn’t sure. But that’s what he was here to try and figure out. 

“Hi,” Ginny replied back, a bit cold in her tone. 

“Can I - Can I come in?” He asked reluctantly. He had expected a much warmer welcome. When she simply nodded, he slipped in the room and shut the door lightly behind it. He leant against the door, wanting to keep as much distance between them until he was sure she wanted him closer. “I- I wanted to apologize for what this past year has been. I know I couldn’t help it, but I just wanted you to know all I wanted to do was keep you safe. You’re one of the only people I thought of when I was out there, wondering how you were doing, if you were alright. A- And I know this probably isn’t a good time but-,” he started, but Ginny cut him off quickly. 

“Then it isn’t a good time. You left me to go wonder about the woods for months. You didn’t have to do that. It didn’t change a damn thing. You never asked me how I felt about any of it. I just had to go along with it because you’re you,” she said angrily, a flush coming to her cheeks. 

“I know that now. That’s why I wanted to apologize,” Harry said back honestly, hoping she could hear it in his voice, see it in his eyes, just how sorry he was. 

Ginny let herself take a deep breath before looking up at him again. “You’re forgiven, but I won’t forget this, Harry. Ever. You hurt me and you can’t take that back easily.” 

“I know,” he said with a resigned sigh. 

He was just hoping… 

All he wanted was… 

He thought he could come to her… 

“I think you should leave, Harry. I love you, I do. But we all need some time right now. I need to be with my family,” Ginny told him gently, but that stubborn fire inside of her was never burnt out. 

“Y-yeah. Okay,” Harry agreed, immediately moving to open the door again. He had so much more he wanted to say to her, but he couldn’t stand the awkward tension for much longer. 

As he departed from the Burrow, he didn’t really have a clue as to where he was going. He didn’t have a family. Didn’t have a home. But he had Y/N. 

~~~

Later that night, Y/N heard a soft pop from outside her doorstep followed by a knock. When she opened it, she found her best friend Harry on her porch, staring down at his feet. 

“Are you alright?” She asked, concern lacing her voice, no need for hello’s between the two of them any longer. 

All Harry had to do was look up at her with tears swimming in his eyes to tell her no, no he was not alright. She immediately ushered him inside of her house and down the hallway to her bedroom, trying to bring him as much comfort as she could. 

Silently, she passed him old clothes that he had left there on previous occasions and guided him to lay down on the bed as he fought his tears before finally laying beside him as they had done as children. 

“What happened?” Y/N finally asked. 

“She doesn’t want me anymore. I know it’s stupid, after everything, but I just though… I dunno,” he trailed off, unable to look Y/N in the eye. 

She knew her childhood friend well as well as everything he had been through in his life, and she could see right through him. 

“Tell me,” she said gently, trying to coax the words out of him. 

“I just thought I could rely on her right now. I need her. She’s one of the only people who has ever brought me a shred of comfort and I need that right now,” he said quietly, for once in his life eloquently explaining his emotions. 

Y/N looked at the messy haired boy, unsure just what to do with him. It had to mean something that he came to her at that moment. When he felt he had no one, he somehow knew he still had her by his side. And Y/N could only hope that she brought the same comfort that Ginny had to him. 

“Well, you’re more than welcome to stay here. As long as you need. I’ve missed you,” she told him gently, keeping a well balanced smile on her face in case he finally looked up at her. 

And thankfully he finally did, and he looked a bit less upset than when he turned up, so that had to count for something. 

“I - I’ve missed you too, but I can’t just stay here,” he tried to argue. 

“And why’s that?” She asked, her brows furrowing together. 

“I don’t want to bother you,” he told her, a small blush coming to his cheeks. 

“Harry, we’ve been friends since forever and you’ve never bothered me once. You need someone, and quite frankly, somewhere to be. Just stay here,” she replied easily, not understanding why he was even arguing this. 

“I know that,” he said, frustration building in his voice. There was something he was hiding from her. After a well timed staring match, he finally broke. “I have nightmares.” 

“Well, I wouldn’t expect you to be completely unaffected by everything. That’s really not a problem, Harry. We’ll figure it out.” 

After much more much needed reassurance and enough hugs to satiate him, the pair finally fell asleep side by side, Harry finally feeling at ease in his own skin. 

~~~ 

One night turned into a week, and a week turned into months of Harry staying with Y/N. 

Almost every night, a nightmare would rouse them both from their sleep, but Y/N never faltered. Every time it happened, Y/N was quick to wake him from his screams and wrap him up in her arms, holding him until the tears stopped. Cups of tea would be shared and many late night binges of their favorite childhood shows brought the smiles back to both of their faces. 

And it wasn’t just difficult nights, the days grew hard sometimes as well. In his healing, Harry was paranoid, angry, depressed. Some days Y/N felt as if she was walking on eggshells around her best friend, but never once did she complain or feel put out by his behavior. She tried her best to understand what he had been through and the healing that came after that. 

And Harry was infinitely grateful for her. Without her, he wasn’t sure where he would be. Sure, he had Ron and Hermione, but they were preoccupied with themselves and each other at the meantime. He knew he could go to the Weasleys’, but he felt as if they had already done more than enough for him. And he hadn’t even heard from Ginny since that evening in her bedroom, a hurt that grew easier over time. 

As the months passed, the pair of friends only grew closer and closer. They practically knew each other inside out. And although there was another bedroom in Y/N’s flat, Harry always spent the night in her bed. Their bed. Both of them just argued that it was easier if a nightmare happened to leave it that way. 

And something that was clear in both of their heads, but oblivious to the other one, was that they were both madly in love with each other. Harry loved Y/N. Loved the comfort she brought, the ease she put him at, the way she was the only one to make him smile after a hard day. And Y/N loved Harry. Loved his messy hair in the mornings, the blushes he could make cross her cheeks, his never ending sass that could always make her laugh. But neither of them wanted to tell the other, unwilling to break the one good thing they both had going for them at the moment. 

~~~ 

It wasn’t until one day, on one of Harry’s particularly angry days, that one of them broke. 

He had come in slamming the door so hard it made the flat shake, making Y/N’s head snap up from her book. She eyes him warily as he made his way into the kitchen, where she could hear cabinets slamming and teacups clanging against each other from behind the wall.  

Slowly, she rose from her spot on the couch and rounded the corner into the kitchen, watching him carefully. 

“What?” Harry bit out harshly, knowing she was there without even turning around. 

“Do you want to talk about it?” Y/N asked, the same as she always asked him when he was like this. 

“No. I don’t want to talk about it. I don’t know why you always insist on making me talk about things anyways,” he said, rounding on Y/N to face her. 

She could see the anger in his eyes and knew she had to tread lightly. There had been a few cases of accidental magic within the past few months that she wouldn’t like to relive again and had no intention of pushing him that far today. 

“We don’t have to talk about it. The only reason I ask is because I know it helps you sometimes,” she spoke carefully, keeping her voice decidedly blank despite her desire to scream in his face some days. 

When she moved to leave him be in the kitchen, she heard him speak softly. 

“I dunno why you even still want me here.” 

It made Y/N stop short and her heart shattered all in one breath. In all the time had been there, neither of them had even questioned aloud why he was still here. Y/N had no desire to change their arrangement and she assumed he didn’t either. He had never said anything about it until today. 

“Harry, look at me,” Y/N said when she reentered the kitchen, a determinism about her that he couldn’t question when he did as she said. “I told you months ago that you could stay here for as long as you wanted to, however long that is. And I sincerely hope I have never done or said anything to make you feel as if I think otherwise. But I will not sit here and let you question my words. I want you here because you’re my best friend and you shouldn’t have to go through this by yourself as much as you try and convince yourself you should.” 

“I just don’t get it. It can’t be fun having me here when I’m like this. Your boss almost fired you because you keep being late because I keep you up because of my issues. You don’t get enough sleep because of me. You walk on eggshells half the time, don’t think I haven’t noticed. Why haven’t you just kicked me out already?” He asked, growing more and more frustrated as he spoke. 

“No, it’s not always fun. But I didn’t expect it to be when I offered either. And I will never kick you out on your arse because - oh, it doesn’t matter why. You need to get it through your skull that people won’t just give up on you. I won’t,” Y/N told him, her voice beginning to rise to match his, the first signs of anger she had directed towards him since they were children. 

“Tell me why,” he shouted, his hands planted firmly on the kitchen table as he looked up at her, a mix of anger and curiosity in his eyes. 

In that moment, Y/N weighed her options carefully. She could tell him the real reason why she wanted him here, needed him here just as much as he needed to be here, but that risked him bolting right out the door. She could lie to him, give him some other reason, but he’d see right through that. Or she could keep this argument going until it was over and see where that left them. She took a deep breath and shut her eyes before opening her mouth to speak. 

“Because I’m in love with you, Harry. I don’t know when it happened, or why, but I love you. That’s why I want to stay here.” 

Silence filled the room as they both took in what she said, only the sound of their breathing echoing off the walls. 

“Are you serious?” He finally asked, studying her face carefully. All she could give him back was a nod, too scared of the repercussions of speaking right now.

He must have seen something in her face, because suddenly he was rounding the table that had been separating them and approaching her quickly. She watched him move closer and closer until suddenly, his lips were on hers. 

Y/N felt every nerve ending explode when his lips devoured hers, never thinking she would ever share a moment like this with him. Carefully, her arms came up so her hands could wrap themselves in his shirt while his held her cheeks between them gently. Neither of them were sure how long they stayed like that, standing in the kitchen devouring each other, but when they pulled away they were both panting. 

Harry rested his forehead against hers, gently kissing her lips one last time before saying, “I love you, too.”

2006 

---

Eight years. From that moment on, the pair of them had been together for eight years. Eight years filled with the good and the bad, the happy and the sad, but most of all, filled with an undeniable, unbreakable love that they shared for each other. 

In those years, there had been weddings and children, some of those milestones being theirs. They had gotten married just two years after their confession, not wanting to waste anymore time than they already had. And a year after that came their first child, a son named James Sirius Potter that was the light of their lives. 

And in those years, Harry had grown into the man that she always knew he would be. He was stable, had a job, and was still healing, albeit doing much better now than when he had shown up at her doorstep disheveled and in tears. He was the most loving husband and was completely smitten with his child, becoming the parent that he had always wanted. 

The three of them were out at Diagonalley, a place that Harry was happy to have introduced Y/N to years ago and was elated to go there as a family now. They were eating ice cream at Florean Fortescue's when Harry saw an unmistakable flash of red pass by, stop, and come back around. 

“Hi,” he heard awkwardly from behind him, causing his head to turn around to look at the source of it.  

And there was Ginny Weasley in all her glory. A chaser for the Hollyhead Harpies now, and looked the roll too. 

Harry immediately jumped into a quick reintroduction, knowing Y/N hadn’t had the time to have a proper one at there own wedding which, curiously, Ginny had ducked out early from. After a brief, and rather awkward, catch-up between the couple and his former girlfriend, Ginny made her move. 

“Harry, take a walk with me?” She asked, addressing only him now. 

After a quick nod from Y/N, who was occupied with James regardless, Harry took his leave to begin walking through the streets with his ex lover. As they began walking, the routine pleasantries were exchanged before Harry turned to her with an expectant glance, one that asked her ‘What are we doing here?’ without having to say the words. 

“Look,” she began with a resigned sigh, “I’m sorry if I’m interrupting your day but I just wanted to apologize for the way things ended between us back then. It was unfair of me to push you out like that and it’s been eating at me for a while now, and I just hope we can at least be friends now.” 

“I appreciate that, and you’re forgiven. But I’ve clearly moved on and I’m happy now. I can only hope the same for you,” he told her honestly. 

She gave him a forced smile and a nod before excusing him to get back on with his day, nothing more to say to him than what she already did. 

She watched as he walked away from the window of the shop they had been in. Watched him walk back to his family and back into her arms. Something that could have been hers if she hadn’t been stubborn and angry at the end of the war. 

She watched as Harry pulled his son into his arms, hoisting him up and laughing with his wife before placing a loving kiss to her lips. That could have been all hers. Should have been, she thought to herself bitterly. 

It took everything inside of her to stop watching him with his happy little family and finally turned away from the window, leaving Diagonalley and hopefully any thoughts of rekindling things with him behind. She knew it was impossible now, but she had always held out some hope in her heart for him. 

But as she apparated away, she could feel her heart break for what could have been. What could have been if she hadn’t been so cold to him eight years ago.

[drspencerweed]

how do you think spencer would react to you critiquing yourself in the mirror/bodychecking?

i know we talk about him needing all the praise but what if it’s needed the other way around? 🥺

I don’t know how long this has been sitting in my inbox im so sorry but here’s a little blurb about it 

also I wrote this with a plus size reader in mind, but I don’t think I was too specific! (all of my fics are plus size reader tbh) 

----

You stared at yourself in the mirror. The shower was running and probably hot by now, but you couldn’t tear your eyes away from your naked body. Your eyes caught on every perceived flaw, hands running over your stomach and thighs and breasts. Looking at yourself like this, in the harsh fluorescents of the hotel bathroom, you couldn’t understand why Spencer was with you. 

He loved you, you knew that, but sometimes the overwhelming disgust you felt for yourself took over the things you knew. You couldn’t fathom anyone looking at you and wanting you. And you knew that someone wanting you didn’t define your self worth, you knew that your body was made to keep you alive and it did a good job of that, but you couldn’t help wanting to feel desirable. Spencer might have loved your personality and your brain, but there was no way he could love your body. And how do you stay with someone who you don’t love all of? 

The tears formed in your eyes and you scrubbed them away, stepping away from the mirror and into the shower. You showered quickly, trying not to look at yourself too much. Maybe next time you should just turn off the lights. You stepped out of the shower and wrapped yourself in your towel, regretting not bringing clothes into the bathroom with you. It wasn’t like Spencer had never seen you naked, but right now you didn’t like the idea of anyone looking at your body. 

When you stepped out of the bathroom, Spencer was sitting up in bed reading. He looked up to you excitedly, but you barely even glanced at him as you hurried over to your suitcase and started to put on your pajamas. You never dropped your towel, pulling your shorts on underneath it and managing to pull your shirt on over it. He knew something was wrong because you never did that, not even before the two of you were dating. You had explained that years of summer camp and changing in cabins made you comfortable to change in front of people. (It had cause many awkward boners on Spencer’s end.) 

“[Y/N]?” he said quietly. You whipped around to look at him, clutching the towel in your hands tightly, trying to school your expression to something neutral. “Is everything okay?” 

“Yea, of course, why wouldn’t it be?” You brushed off his comment. You knew he could see right through you, though. And he did. He didn’t even say anything else, just furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and disbelief. Your lip trembled and you started to cry, trying to hide it but unable to stop the small hiccups from leaving your lips. 

Spencer was off the bed and had his arms around you in an instant. His caring nature only made you cry harder. Someday he would see what you see, and this would all go away. “Hey, what’s wrong?” he asked, hands rubbing up and down your back as you cried into his chest, still gripping the towel. 

“I just-I can’t-I don’t know how you can love me when I’m so disgusting.” You admitted quietly. 

“What?” He asked, pulling back so he could look at your face. You didn’t want to repeat what you said, so you avoided his gaze and twisted your fingers together. You sniffled and tried to stop crying but you couldn’t. “What do you mean disgusting?” 

“My body is horrible. I hate it.” You started. His eyes began to well up, seeing you so upset. You kept rambling, not able to stop once you started. “And I know, I know that my self worth isn’t tied to my body. I know that. And I know you don’t love me for that either. But sometimes I look in the mirror and I just wish I was anybody else.” You choked around your words, sobbing. “It’s so stupid, but sometimes I just wish I was beautiful.” 

Spencer pulled you into his arms again and your sobs overtook you, body shaking. He didn’t know where to start. To him, you were the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. But he didn’t know how he could convince you of that. His hands stroked up and down your back as he gathered his thoughts. 

Finally he pulled away and tilted your chin up so he could look in your eyes. “You are beautiful. I love you, all of you. Every inch of your skin is perfect. And you’re right, that doesn’t indicate anything about your worth as a person, but you aren’t stupid for wanting to feel beautiful. Can I try and show you how beautiful you are to me?” 

You swallowed thickly but nodded. He smiled slightly and pulled you in for a kiss, which was wet with your tears. When he pulled away he started whispering. “I love your lips. The way they fit against mine is like they were made for me.” He pressed another kiss to your lips before moving down to your neck. 

He pressed a kiss there. “And your neck, it never fails to make you sigh when I touch it. That sound is so perfect to me.” When he kissed a bit harsher, sucking on your skin a little, you couldn’t help the sigh that escaped you. “See? Like that.” 

A kiss to your shoulder, a trail of them down your arm. A soft kiss on each of your fingertips. “Your arms, and your hands. Perfect for weilding your gun, or bringing down unsubs, or holding me when I need it. So strong.” He squeezed your bicep muscle lightly and you chuckled, the first hint of a smile on your cheeks all night. 

His fingers found the edges of your shirt, asking a silent question to which you nodded slowly. He pulled the shirt off of you gently, revealing your bare chest and stomach. Immediately you went to cover your stomach with your arms, but he grabbed your wrists before you could, pressing a kiss to the pulse point on both of your wrists. 

His attention dropped to your breasts, hands coming up to grope them, but it didn’t feel sexual. It felt loving. He pressed kisses all over them. “It’s no secret how much I love these. They always feel perfect in my hands. Not to mention, someday they’ll provide nutrients and life to our baby. How amazing is that?” He spoke with something like awe in his voice, and you felt yourself begin to get happier at the mention of kids with him. 

Lips trailing down between your breasts, he let his knees fall to the ground so he had a better angle to kiss your stomach. You took deep breaths, trying not to be so anxious about him being near one of your main insecurities. He saw your spirits falling again, and blew air into your bellybutton to get you to giggle. His hands ran all over your stomach and hips. “This is one of my favorite parts of you. So soft, so lovely. It’s perfect for my resting my head on. Sometimes I wish I could spend forever cuddled into you like that.” He pressed a kiss right above the hemline of your shorts. “And someday our baby will grow in there. Your body can create life. I’m constantly in awe of that. Of you.” 

He continued down your body, kissing your hips over your shorts and finally reaching your thighs. His hands gripped the back of them, running over the soft skin there. He sucked a bruise into your thigh and you tried not to reveal how affected you were. “Your thighs are so incredible. I love the way they look in slacks, or those rare occasions you wear skirts. I really really love the way they squeeze around my head when you get overwhelmed. I think if I had to choose a way to go, I’d want to be crushed between them.” You giggled at that, and he looked up at you with a bright grin. 

Tears were still streaming down your face, but this time it was from happiness. You knew this wasn’t going to eliminate your insecurities, but if Spencer could see you like this, you thought you could try to as well. He stood up off of his knees, holding your cheeks in his palms as he wiped your tears away. “I love you. So much. I can keep going, if you’d like. I have a lot to say about your ass.” You giggled again, lips pursing together as you tried not to sob again. 

“I love you, too. Thank you so much.” Your hands came up and pulled him in by his neck, kissing him passionately. His hands drifted down your body, reaching your ass and squeezing, pulling your closer to him. You pulled back a little to give him a look. 

“What? I just said I have a lot to say about it.” He defended his groping. You rolled your eyes playfully and pulled him in again. He stopped just short of your lips, eyes tracing over your face and biting down on his bottom lip. “You’re the most beautiful person in the world.” He whispered. You smiled at him and let a hand cup his cheek.

“On who’s authority?” You asked, shaking your head with a small smile. 

“Mine. And I happen to be a genius.” He chuckled, before pressing your lips together again.
