Shadow and Sonic or Shadow and Tails headcanons? 💞

Hell yeah, I am all over this ask. They are. My favorite guys ever. Here are some Shadow and Tails headcanons for youuuu

Tails and Shadow, my beloveds

No one expects Tails and Shadow to get close, but once they give it a bit of thought it actually makes a lot of sense

I mean they're both these mechanic loving introverts with somewhat mysterious pasts so it checks out

Definitely think Tails was afraid of Shadow in the beginning so it took a long time for them to actually become friends, but once they do they're inseparable

They're the type of friends to split off from the main friend group during group events and show up three hours later with no warning

I think Shadow treats Tails older than how Sonic treats him. I think Shadow would be more willing to leave Tails alone during missions, and it makes Tails feel like he's trusted. It takes so much of the burden of needing to prove himself off his shoulders

Sonic trusts Tails with his life ofc, and Tails knows that, but with Sonic being so.... Over protective it's hard to believe it sometimes. It's different with Shadow, he has an easier time showing trust in a way Tails understands

If Tails needs a second pair of eyes to look at an invention he's probably calling Shadow, one of the only easily accessible people he knows who likes machinery as much as him

You can pry Shadow being a Car Guy(tm) out of my cold dead hands

I think Shadow and Tails are more prone to arguing than Sonic and Tails, mostly because they're arguing about Sonic lol

Whether it's Shadow saying Sonic's annoying and Tails brother instincts kicking in to defend him, because nobody can make fun of his brother except him, or Shadow scolding Tails for his martyr tendencies that he very obviously got from his older brother

I can definitely imagine Shadow and Tails being close and seeing some of the trauma that Tails has been through, Shadow lashes out in this like... Protective anger and calling Sonic anywhere between a mediocre to a bad older brother and Tails just not having it

Otherwise, those two are best friendlies forever and ever. They just have a few differences in who they think is worth hanging around lol

Unfortunately for Tails it is just as hard to get a genuinely emotionally vulnerable conversation out of Shadow as it is with Sonic, fortunately though he's not willing to initiate them either, Shadow still frets when Tails gets hurt tho... Just in a much less hovering way and a more brooding "uncaring" way lol

If this keeps up nobody is ever going to teach that kid any emotional competence =(

Shadow encourages weapons of mass destruction but only if he gets to field test them, and if Tails please stops making all his inventions such garish colors

Everyone takes delight in watching one of the babies of the group try and imitate the brooding mess that is Shadow the Hedgehog. Fully believe if Tails has an emo phase it's entirely Shadows fault

[tobiasdrake]

One down, two to find. Let's see what else we can poke.

...that....

...that feels like an awfully big thing to ask of me. I don't know if I'm ready for that kind of a commitment.

...

I am so intimidated by this pretty flower right now. Um? UMMMM!?

HERE TEAM LEADER YOU ARE AN AWESOME TEAM LEADER PLEASE TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME AND DON'T READ ANYTHING INTO THIS.

I AM NOT QUALIFIED TO TAKE ON SUCH A HEAVY RESPONSIBILITY AS THIS.

GREAT. DO THAT. AND LET US NEVER SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN GOODBYE.

Felt tho.

This sign perfectly encapsulates my feelings for the intense Flower Mission I just had to undergo.

There they are. Hey there, Bon-bon, what's on your mind?

Whoa! Hostile. Guess you're not holding up so well, huh?

Yep, that explains the dourness.

Look, Bonnie, I'm not going to give you some platitudes about embracing Change even when it hurts or whatever. That's Mira's job. I think. I still don't fully understand the particular creeds of our religion.

What I am going to tell you is that you aren't wrong for feeling it. These feelings you're experiencing are entirely valid. I want you to open yourself up and let yourself process them.

Carry them with you. And then, tomorrow, I want you to take those feelings and turn them into violence. I'm not going to tell you that it will be okay. I'm going to tell you that the hurricane of violence we unleash tomorrow is how we make it okay.

This is a child terrified for an imperiled loved one. I don't know why I even asked. They obviously have only one thing on their mind right now.

Yep. Hostile. Okay, so my takeaway from this conversation is that Bonnie is going through a lot and seems nice enough to the people they like, but absolutely hates my guts for some reason.

Okay, one left. That just leaves the Favor Tree.

HEY THERE BIZZA-ZISS... Busy....

Hey Isa, how's your favor coming along?

If you can't think of a favor to ask, you could ask it for some kind of imprint of the tree itself that you can take with you. Then you'll always be able to remember how cool it is.

...

OOH OOH, I should ask the Favor Tree for little statuettes of my face that I can hand out to people. Same reason.

Oh. It doesn't grant wishes or anything? That's disappointing.

Hold on, let me jot this down in my Pocket Notes. "Followers of Change pray to large nearby flora instead of their deity." Got it. I am suddenly much less enthused about the Favor Tree.

Sure, that passes muster. Cool. Cool-cool-cool.

Honestly, I've heard worse superstitions. Even if it doesn't work, offering prayers to a nearby tree is pretty harmless. I'm not going to be mean about it.

Honestly, you should. Your whole aesthetic is working for you. I particularly like the way your earrings hang down low enough to reach the rise of your turtleneck collar to create the impression of a smooth continuation.

The matching nail polish helps, too. I realize we're very limited in our available color palettes but you've got just the right amount of contrast to bring the whole look together. I think you're going to go far.

Oh, we have a habit of doing this? Cool, that makes me feel much more comfortable with it. Don't know why Croc Lady made a fuss if Isa and I are already used to being bunkmates. Maybe she's weirded out by platonic male intimacy.

Hang on a second, let me jot that down on her Pocket Note.

"Possibly Toxic???"

There we go. All set.

I just randomly found ur blog and am now OBSESSED with the whole avian!mumbo concept

…….tell me everything there needs to be known abt it please I want to draw little bird boy (even tho my main way of doodlin mumbo is vampire but I WANT BIRD)

(apologies for the ramble I live laugh love moustache man)

(here's the previous avian!mumbo post for anyone curious)

It has taken me far too long to get the chance to respond to this ask and I have been so impatient because adjsaklfhaskghjd someone actually saw and enjoyed my unedited babbling about avian!mumbo :')

anyways I think I already said most of what I have coherent ideas on, and the rest is just nebulous vibes and happiness and fluff and hurt/comfort potential, but! I can share doodles and also reiterate/expand upon stuff I have already said

(putting it below a cut so I can make it soso long)

WING FLAPPIES!! I feel like this would definitely be something he'd appreciate about having wings, because I feel like it would be a more satisfying expression of emotion than like. stomping or bouncing or whatever. He would also totally struggle to control his avian body language, you can read his wings/ears/tail like a book, he's so unused to paying attention to and stifling his bird gestures. (Grian finds this beyond hilarious especially, because he can read Mumbo even better than everyone else being another avian)

His wings are red and black, though I haven't entirely decided if I'm gonna switch which goes where to make it match Grian's wings better. Since Grian is a Scarlet Macaw, Mumbo really ought to be too, but that would look just. so goofy. with his color scheme

AND SPEAKING OF LOOKING GOOFY- his wings look so silly for the first couple weeks. Until the feathers grow in properly, they're just kind of gradually more fluffy. raw chicken. wings. stuck to his back. because that's what baby parrots look like apparently! And then also pin feathers, before finally being pretty feathery bird wings

He also just accidentally passively collects the other members of Boatem's clothes. Grian does this too, but intentionally. Mumbo just does it without realizing and then gets confused about it because he doesn't understand the whole nesting thing, so someone else has to explain it to him

Oh and Mumbo tries to just go about his life without any changes or accommodations for his wings at first, because he doesn't want to ruin his clothes or generally have to change his routines. Grian and the others do not put up with this and persuade him to take proper care of the wings instead (<- this is a constant uphill battle for months)

On a more overarching note, Mumbo initially Does Not Like the wings, because they're just tiny and kind of ugly things that get in the way of his elytra and make him have to get all his shirts edited and they don't really do anything but cause him problems. Then once the wings start getting feathers and stuff and they have to start making preparations for learning to fly, it kind of becomes a bit of a bonding thing that brings Boatem together, with Mumbo starting to get used to them and accept them, and everyone else being able to help out with their care some (preening, stretches and exercises...).

Ultimately (probably sometime around HC 9), Mumbo ends up quite loving his wings in the long run. Once they're fully grown they're actually pretty impressive (since he's so tall they end up being a fair bit larger than Grian's, much to his annoyance) and Mumbo ends up putting a fair bit of effort into their upkeep and keeping them all nice looking (at least, when he's not too busy with other projects). He does still find a bunch of the other avian traits a little embarrassing (nesting, chirping, dietary restrictions, wings giving away his thoughts...) but he gets used to them.

Camo Persian

"*Ring Ring*" A doorbell rang.

"Ah that must mean it's here!" Exclaimed an excited Harry.

Harry saw a commercial for a set of camo apparel that's said to give you a new exciting life with their "altering fabric technology!" The prospect excited him despite the unbelievable claim.

Harry opened the door to his house to find a box entirely covered by a camo green design. Harry picked up the box and took it to his room. Once arriving to his room, Harry unpacked the box to find a set of camo shirt and pants. With a piece of paper on top.

"Please download the camo life app onto your phone to continue instructions. Camolife Inc. is no responsibility for life-altering changes or memory erasure and..." Various warnings continued on the paper, but Harry ignored them and went straight to downloading the app.

The app booted up with camo colors as the screen read

"Thank you for installing Camolife. The life-changing app for society. Before we begin please now equip the Camolife branded shirt and pants in your package and then press continue!"

"Just gotta put these on and I'm set? Awesome!" Harry quickly changed into the camo clothes that seemed one size bigger and pressed continue.

The screen changed to something else in quick succession and now a question popped up.

"What would you like to camoflauge as?" As a flurry of options that required scrolling. Harry darted his eyes on the screen on the choices until he landed on a particular option.

"Bodybuilder...? Am I gonna get one of those corny ab tshirts haha." Harry clicked that option to see how funny he would look in one of thos shirts. I mean he can probably "reset" the shirt anyway. The screen then prompted to another question.

"Pick your ethnicity? Why do I need to choose this?" The peculiar thing was that there only was ethnicity to choose from.

"Persian? Of all the..." there was no other way to advance, so despite being white as snow he clicked persian and clicked continue.

"Thank you for your time. Beginning process please stand still..." Harry's phone started to glow a radiance of colors as a beam of rainbow went directly towards Harry. With Harry's body beginning to pulsate.

In an instant an entire mountain of muscle popped into Harry's body. The look of a bodybuilder was now clearly what he is now. Large round pecs, massive biceps, sausage size fingers, tree trunk thighs, bubble butt ass, and a big package were some of the highlights of his new body

"Did the app just.. change me?! What kind of technology is- *rip*" Harry got interrupted as he heard rips from his now somewhat tight shirt. The sleeves fell right off and an opening formed in the middle of the shirt to show Harry's new pec cleavage, making a perfect workout tank top.

"Body Change phase complete. Commencing ethnicity change. Please continue to hold still..." Another pulsing feeling hit Harry's body. More changes commenced as a flurry of beard hairs grew onto Harry's clean-shaven face, giving him a manly bodybuilder beard darkening into a black color as his hair slicked back. The once white features of Harry's entire body were replaced with more persian ones. More persian eyes and nose adorned his figure. Harry's white skin being recolored into a brownish tone. Harry's mind felt something as his knowledge of english was replaced with his new native language. Harry could still speak English but not without a thick accent. The pulsating stopped with Harry now looking like a big persian bodybuilder. The text on Harry's phone changed.

"Accommodating for new ethnicity, now changing language,"

"تغییر قومیت کامل شد آیا می خواهید دوربین خود را باز کنید؟"

("Ethnicity change complete. Would you like to open your camera?")

Henry hasn't been able to process the changes ever since they started but with his now implanted knowledge of the persian language looked at his screen and clicked yes. The camera app on Harry's phone soon blared up

"این غیر ممکن است"

("This is... impossible,") Harry looking into camera view saw the new him. The persian wolf.

"من می خواهم چه کار کنم؟ من نمیتونم اینجوری به زندگیم ادامه بدم!"

("What am I gonna do? I can't go on living my life like this!") Harry spoke in his new booming deep voice, but before he could continue being shocked at his new face he looked down onto the ground and saw the shreds of his camo shirt that ripped off during the transformation.

"Aw great now I made a mess!" Harry commented in a heavily thick persian accent to try and keep his self togther. As though to make him happy the shredded pieces of clothing darkened and reformed into a cap with various markings and snuggly fit itself onto Harry's head as he looked back into his phone's camera.

"این همیشه عجیب‌تر و عجیب‌تر می‌شود"

("This just keeps getting weirder and weirder...") Harry sighed. He was gonna have a lot of explaining to do to his family and friends, but the app had one trick up it's sleeves.

"بسته بندی استتار. تزریق خاطرات جدید"

("Wrapping up camoflauge. Injecting with new memories,") Harry looking at the screen in confusion as a beam of memories directly from the phone went directly into his brain. Memories of working out, being in bodybuilding competitions, participating in sponsorships, and most important of all being the legendary Hadi Choopan.

"تزریق حافظه کامل شد. در حال حاضر تغییر مناظر"

("Memory injection complete. Now changing scenery,") With a swirl and a flash the scenery changed from a bedroom to the Clangs and clashes of a gym. A dazed out Hadi snapped out of the trance from the teleportation and realized he was covered in sweat from what seemed like lifting large weights.

مربی من واقعاً مرا به حد مجاز می رساند. اما این همه" ارزشش را دارد... این!"

("My trainer is really pushing me to my limit. But it's all worth it for... this!") Hadi triumphantly gave a good hard flex of his bicep as he walked off to another workout machine. The person he used to be long gone with that pump.

Before Hadi could get to his next workout station he felt his phone vibrate and checked it only for a single message to appear.

"استتار کامل. از شما برای استفاده از Camolife متشکریم!"

("Camoflauge complete. Thank you for using Camolife!") Hadi looked at the message with an eyebrow raised. He didn't remember installing this "Camolife" app on his phone and feared it was some sort of malware so Hadi promptly deleted the app and put his phone back in his pocket.

"تاپ من کمی سفت تر از حد معمول است. یعنی پیشرفت!"

("My top is feeling a bit tighter than usual. That means progress!") Hadi gave his camo top a tug to relieve it of it's stress. The Persian Wolf was now ready to workout and live out their new life in "Camoflauge".

[genericdragon]

Hello! Since my art and designs seem to be getting more attention recently(??????) and stuff like this has come up a few times, I thought I'd lay down some ground rules about my art and characters.

Art Rules:

Generally if you want to use my art anywhere PLEASE ASK ME FIRST!!! I'll most likely say yes I just want to know about it. If you're reposting it on a different platform or sharing it on Discord or whatever I'd also appreciate if you could tell me what other people are saying about it or send me a link to the post. Also free to use as pfps or whatever as long as you ask first. and unless I say otherwise (there are some things I don't want my name attached to yknow) ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO CREDIT ME!!! ("genericdragon on Tumblr" will suffice). If it's art that I made specifically for you you're free to use it anywhere without asking just remember to credit me.

Please don't edit my art in any way, shape, or form, aside from maybe cutting out the background or whatever. (including drawing on top of it, changing colors, etc)

You're allowed to trace/heavily reference my art for practice (don't know why you'd want to tho) but DO NOT POST IT ANYWHERE OR USE IT FOR ANYTHING ELSE PLEASE.

Unless we're very close friends/mutuals do not expect free art from me. You can commission me on artistree or follow me on artfight (<- you are VERY likely to get free art this way.) I might do requests but only if it's something that I'd want to draw even if no one requested it. (no fetish baiting. I know it when I see it.)

Character rules:

If you want to use my exact humanization as your headcanon for that character or use them in your AU then be my guest! Again, just make sure to credit me for the design, and please tag me in anything you do with them :)

That being said, there are a few story related things that I'm not comfortable sharing with other AUs, but it's usually stuff that I don't post on Tumblr so you probably don't know abt it anyway. Just ask me if you're unsure. However I will also ask that you don't create an entirely new backstory for them if you're putting them in your own AU.

I can't stop you from taking inspiration from my designs but please don't just change a few things from my design and call it your own. They're not technically my original characters but I am still very attached to my humanizations and I'm not comfortable with them being modified like that. I'm glad that ppl like my designs but I don't want them to run too far away from me until they're not mine anymore yknow?

You are always always ALWAYS welcome to draw my character designs, especially when interacting with your own or other people's :) Tag me in any art you make of them!! I want to see it!!!

I made another post about it but self-shipping is allowed (as long as it's not a teenager who's way younger than you) just make sure to abide by the rest of these rules.

Also drawing nsfw of my 18+ characters is fine. (Unless I explicitly say they're a teenager or they are known to be a teenager in canon you can assume they're an adult) You can show me or not idc. Just don't send it to me without warning I don't wanna be jumpscared

Other Stuff:

I do not control the hyperfixation. If you followed me for one specific fandom/character that I don't post about often I can't guarantee that you'll see any more of it. Portal is the one thing you can ALWAYS expect me to come back to but the other stuff just comes and goes. Not saying that I'll NEVER come back to it again just don't hold your breath. Feel free to unfollow or block any tags you're not interested in, I don't take any offense to it.

Please do not reblog any art older than like... 3 or 4 years. I'll leave it up for now but if you reblog it I WILL delete it, sorry.

Continuing from that point, this is my blog and I will delete things as I see fit. Please do not download and repost my art if I delete it. If it's gone then I don't want it to be public anymore, please respect my wishes.

I won't throw a hissy fit if you like art but don't reblog it, I totally get that some things just aren't for everyone, but reblogging really does help a lot and I appreciate it :)

Please don't feel intimidated by me! Apparently some people think of me as a Big Scary Popular Artist and I have no idea where that impression came from but I'm not. I'm just a weirdo girl making my silly little drawings. Also PLEASE don't say anything to the effect of "your art is so good it makes me feel bad" or using my art to put yourself down. I have Kind Of Complicated feelings about my art so when people do this it really messes me up. Just don't, it makes both of us feel so much worse.

Asks are always welcome, although I do try to draw art in response to asks but sometimes I just don't get around to it, or it's for a fandom I'm not currently interested in. (Sorry to that one person who sent me an INSIDE related ask that's just been sitting in my inbox for several months)

I do have an nsfw blog, you can dm me for the url, although I may choose to withhold it from you for any reason. (I'm shy 👉👈)

Other than that just uhhhhh be reasonable treat me like a person respect my boundaries etc. I'll update this if needed but this is the most important stuff for now I think

Scaramouche x GN Reader

Fandom: Genshin Impact Pairing: Scaramouche x GN Reader

Warnings: Gore, blood, yandere Scaramouche, loss of a sibling, triggering themes ig?

Words: 789

==========

A/N: I can't stop writing about Scaramouche, I have over 10 fanfics made since last year and never posted em, staph me..someone. Also ty all for the love on my last piece, you guys made me post another one shot quickly :)

======

Psychotic laughter filled the spacious room, and blood was splattered across the floor and onto the walls. There standing in the middle of the bloody room was the sixth fatui harbinger, The Balladeer, or what other people call him, Scaramouche.  

"How tragic...Isn't it [Y/N]?" He asked innocently, you could even pinpoint that sick and twisted smile of his behind those words, acting as if he wasn't holding the traveler's twin in one of his hands, dangling around like it was a headless toy. Purple lightning crackled in his wake. 

He received no response, only silence... just silence. He frowned at the lack of response, expecting a reply or anything. he just wanted to hear their voice, so why wouldn't they talk? 

 "Hey... you know I don't like it when you don't talk to me" He spat angrily, walking forward to the sitting figure in front of him, his footsteps echoed in the eerily quiet room. 

His eyes darkening ever so slightly when they try to back away from him, their back hit the wall as Scaramouche continued to walk forward, cornering them, he stopped in front of the figure, kneeling down to their form to be at eye level, as he tilted their chin with his finger, forcing them to look at him.

 He looked oddly satisfied with the transfigurated face of horror the bound person had on, a sickening and wide smile painted on his cheeks, the color in his purple orbs flashing in a dangerous glint.

 "Oh, don't you even know what you do to me?" He traced his thumb on their cheek, gently touching it as if they were fragile and would break into a million pieces. Scared (e/c) clashed with purple, yet they didn't open their mouth to let out any sound. Scaramouche felt anger course through his veins, he had given them everything. His adoration, his pride, his own body and powers, the combat skills, a thousand sliced men at their own doorstep and yet they're still this stubborn? 

He breathed heavily, his patience on thin ice but he'll control himself, just for them and only them "How childishly stubborn, but don't worry. I won't hurt you, I would never but with your friends tho.." He flashed a sickly sweet smile, enjoying the warmth and smoothness of their skin while his hands cradled them.

 Hearing the last sentence come out of his mouth, their eyes widened, the chair cracking under them while they kept twisting and turning their body around, trying to cut off the lightning binds that bid their limbs down. "W-what are you going to do to them?! Don't you dare touch them! They didn't do anything wrong, please..." they pleaded, tears cascading down their cheeks. 

They felt sick, never did they think they would be desperately begging for a fatui harbinger... but here they were, entirely defenseless and helpless. Scaramouche watched intrigued, as words rolled out of their pretty little mouth, except those weren't the words he wanted to hear. He wanted words of praise, admiration of love. But of course, they decided to be stubborn and talk about their stupid friends even in the face of danger.

He clicked his tongue in an exaggerated manner, and carefully wiped the tears from their cheeks with the back of his hands, not before licking a few of the strap droplets from his twitching digits, a sound between a groan and growl leaving his mouth in content.   

"You know [Y/N], right now they aren't so important, I am the only one important to you! I'll do whatever it takes for you to love me. Even if i need to get rid of your precious friends and comrades, I'm the only one you need. They'll leave you in the dirt as soon as they get what they want from you. but I wouldn't do that, not in a million years. So let's stay here together... forever." He embraced their shaking figure, enjoying the warmth they emitted, fingers burying into their [h/c] locks, tugging on it while the traveler's face was being squished into his chest, this new change of clothes of his came in handy, he could feel them so close to him this way, such a naughty creature he had in his arms now.

It was fun, truly. This game of cat and mouse you played, but it was a game designed for two players, anyone else that wanted to join in had to be disposed of. For now, it was their sibling, the next will be all that they treasured dear and even the archons, making sure to wipe them all out of existence and erase the very lasting memories they had of the traveler. They were only his, and his alone. 

Forever.

It’s 2 am and I’m on a tangent so please please bear with me.

I’ve noticed something about the color choices in young royals, specifically regarding simons clothing and I need to put it somewhere.

As we know he has worn many colors and they have all looked amazing

However I find 2 incredibly intriguing color choices from a literary standpoint. ( I had a middle school teacher who would relentlessly give us symbolism lectures, so me and my friends fell down a rabbit hole of color symbolism badda bing badda boom, anyways ) the colors I’m intrigued with are purple and yellow, pls keep reading 😭😭

1. Purple

Someone on TikTok brought it to my attention that Omar Rudberg ( simon ), who obviously wears a lot of purple on the show, but also makes it a point to wear it to almost every if not all young royals events. This is intriguing to me because ur was not an accident/ coincidence, and only the director and/ or costume director can change my mind. Purple throughout history has been a “royal color” as early adaptations were rare due to it being rarely found in nature blah blah. If this isn’t an obvious reference to ohh idk, HIS LOVW INTREST, or perhaps and hopefully foreshadowing to his future career… idk.

Purple also symbolizes traits of creativity, royalty ( 🫨🫨🫨 ), and ambition. All of these traits are ones we have explicitly seen from Simon throughout both seasons.

Bonus: in the last scene of S2 ( spoilers ) when Sara is in the phone with the cops she is wearing purple and white. Colors that symbolize power (purple) and naïveté (white). I think both track as she has the power to ruin something beautiful, and has that power with such little understanding of the situation. Idk that’s just what I noticed tho

2. Yellow

Yellow is a color I have beef with when it comes to symbols, so ima say 2 things. 1) Yellow represents both happiness and warmth, while also being a symbol for death and warnings of danger. 2) I belive both are present in the show.

1) happiness

Exhibit this beautiful fucking scene

2) danger

In the last episode simon wears a yellow sweatshirt, instead of purple, when confronting august. I think this may be hinting at the fact that if he goes to the cops he’s fucked, but there’s still an impending danger ahead he doesn’t know about yet. We also get hints of yellow throughout scenes such as when Wille makes the statement abt the video, when he meets with Wille in lockers after the video, when he finds the schools invoice.

The difference I notice is the yellows are different shades, the yellows I find to represent danger are darker, and the yellows shown in happy scenes seemingly not only lighter, but more fluid. The sunlight flows around Wilhelms room and covers then entirely, it just fits perfectly. However, the yellow in this scenes sticks out in the world around him. In the blue curtain, in the green jacket, it even contrasts with the gray plaid pant he wears.

I’m 1000% sure I’m overthinking it, but I need someone to at least read it, even if it’s to tell me to stfu and stop obsessing over clothing choices. Anyways gn, have a great day

[legoiscrying]

please i beg you staig or steek or stcreek (your choice) headcanons

I chose steek because I already had some headcanons in my head :D

- Okay listen they dyed their hair together. Tweek wanted to dye his hair but was too scared because he had no idea how to do it by himself & though he'd ruin his hair completely. So he wanted to go find one of these fancy salons and go there, but once he shared his idea with Stan he was like. Dude. There's no way you're doing that. Sooo Stan explained to Tweek that he's experienced and could help, and also how it's much cooler to do it in your boyfriend's house than at the expansive salon. Tweek agreed, but still was very scared. Then Stan decided to suggest they dye their hair together, which somehow made Tweek calmer. I'd imagine them either both dyeing their hair in bright colors OR Tweek in black and Stan in blond...

- One time Tweek's dad was very sick, so it was only Tweek and his mom who were able to work at the cafe. Obviously Tweek was very busy for an entire week, so Stan decided to volunteer to help him. What can go wrong, right? It was the day when Stan found out what Tweek is capable of. Stan couldn't keep up with him, not even close. Tweek managed to talk with customers, deal with things in the pantry, run his mom's errands and sometimes even help her with the coffee. Meanwhile Stan? All he could keep up with is helping Tweek with his "come and give" tasks and sometimes washing the dishes. And Stan was already pretty fucking exhausted! When the workday ended Stan was looking very tired, but Tweek? He was looking the same as he always does. The word "impressive" would not even be enough. Tho, Tweek couldn't stop thanking Stan, saying how much easier he made it for him. Stan couldn't really agree, considering how much work Tweek had done compared to him, but seeing Tweek happy was enough. (Would he do it again? Probably not)

- Ohhh I imagine them finding each other's troubles kinda relatable and because of that managing them perfectly. Tweek would listen to Stan's 2 AM vents, comfort him and talk to him in the morning. With Tweek himself...Like, at first Stan would try to "help" Tweek, but then he realized that there's not much you can do with his anxiety attacks, so instead of this he would also try to be extra cautious and observant when Tweek needs that. I CAN'T REALLY EXPLAIN IT, but Tweek would feel the relate and it'd comfort him a bit :(

( now I don't remember if I actually sent one previously about rm5 and how much I loved it I might have deleted it?? It was a dumpster fire of rambling is all I remember )

-Stan who loves Kyle but is personally traumatised from that ugly ass tfbw design 🧡 I'm actually personally offended for him they did him so wrong I'm sorry if this makes no sense this is built up anger

hi orange heart stan! :) <3

first of all, i am glad you agree! i believe in beautiful style supremacy.

i just think whereas stan is like commercially and cosmetically beautiful, like in terms of like celebrity, supermodel, break your neck looking at him on the street, boy next door pretty. (aka conventionally attractive in a way that is indisputable, i think, like That shockingly stunning...also he hates it more than anything in the world smh )

kyle is definitely a more ethereal renaissance painting, sort of elfish/fae like, looks kind of like a timeless museum statue like high cheek bones, prominent nose, pretty red hair, hes attractive in a feel like a less conventional way but is still spellbindingly beautiful as a muse...also kyle thinks hes ugly i want to die ( spef. human kite kyle )

--sorry i sat on this anon for a while, i was trying to troubleshoot what i wanted my human kite to look like in my universe! which, again, i have not played tfbw -- but i have read extensively on it because you know i try to be thorough...so if some of this is wrong it all belongs in my dystopian, sci-fi commentary on societies prejudices, fear of what they don't understand, superhero au, where canon is mostly there to provide the bones/basics and i chaotically world build around it. ;)

**also i did not know that kite!kyle was gender neutral and asexual, so i will adjust accordingly and use they/them to refer to kyle. i also have never played an asexual character, so i am interested! i am also curious whether that was a conscious choice or something to do with them being an alien ( i think...both maybe? interesting! )

also bc last time i did toolstan and kyshed, this ask is for the kyle/kite lore im working through and a lot of stankite because aw <3

but DO NOT WORRY!!!! i did scrap the original design because it's hideous. okay i'm going to drop some pinterest pictures. xx

( you how i am im sorry guys i love pinterest sm smh )

this is insane...i am apologizin in advance...

*hides* don't make fun of me omg

so obviously kyle is an alien and as such i feel like the pigment of their skin is not a natural...human color. so i was thinking about shades of the sky and i was thinking about the teal jumpsuit so i settled on blue!

so to me, in alien form, kyle has blue skin ( sort of similar to mystique in xmen i feel like...probably an interesting skin texture? ) and i think all of their freckles are actually white? so they look like little stars ;-; their entire body just looks like beautiful night sky or blue sky with tiny clouds/sun spots...theyre like a living painting.

however...they are...insecure abt it but when kite visits stan and stan likes them more and more he says theyre really beautiful <333 :') ( them and their frecks ) and that he tells his super best friend, who is anxious abt their freckles that they look like constellations but that kite really is like The Sky haha

( i think it’s funny when secret identity stan and kyle talk abt eachother in human form to kite and shed haha )

--sidebar, but i think that ky might have some sort of kite alien birthmark to represent the kite imagery, but its hidden ofc ofc

—second sidebar: i think kyles voice as kyle is very uptight and forced but as kite, his relaxed alien mothertongue is a lot more fluid/faster it has a fantastic alien dream like quality they also forget to use human words sometimes bless them stan is confused

( he’s not complaining tho whatever u say beautiful alien person w the cool pretty voice )

i also think just for the purpose of it not being too obvious who kite is in human form and just based on the reverse of kyles warm toned human skin pigment being blue i think that kyles hair in kite form is...white? i feel like they r giving celestial drow elf alien energies.

( also tech bc of the reverse pigment their cool laser eyes should be red but i kinda want them to be really bright green like wooo shiny )

but their HAIR AAAAA ( ok its curlier tho like very curly )

also yes its really pretty!!!! stan did say wowza up close skhdlkha it has soft cloud texture and feels like cotton candy...wowza indeed

as for the costume moment...to me it really reads as more of a cloak? like i'm thinking raven of team titan vibes except...weather?

like this cool cloak thing, maybe a little half leotard/jumpsuit moment for For Their Bits...do aliens have bits? yes...maybe? im crying omghs ( listen i made stan look like a birthday party stripper or like hes on the cover of a sexy men at work playboy calendar [ was it you that thought it was funy when i said shed looked like a magic mike construction worker? ]...ky can be a little scandy as a treat xx )

but!!!! in my brain, the cloak is an heirloom that was passed down thru shelia's side ( in my weird lore, i'm thinking shelia is an alien who married a nonmutated human and had kyle who is like half alien? ike is not an alien...just a human canadian boy...and nuisance. )

...and its like a sheet...of the atmosphere? or something that was like...made/woven out of the sky?? and it helps them with flight and also turns the color of whatever the sky is at the moment ( for camouflage purposes ) and is essentially weather proof, rain, sun, snow,

thunder...lightning...:/

so i think kyles one regret is that they missed stan getting struck by lightning but risked alien form flying him to the hospital, concealing him in the kyle cloak and set him on the steps of hells pass...they could have prevented it and it haunts them everyday bc stan almost didnt survive...kyle does not know it gave him powers however smh

but yes!!! half kite/atmosphere alien icon kyle!!! i hope they thrill you!!!

i think the entire broflovski family is concealing the fact that they are aliens/harboring secret aliens because its dangerous and people are REALLY racist towards aliens ( who i think fled their planets due to persecution...i dont know if this is getting too political given the current climate lmk ) and they get killed by extremist groups who...sigh...tell them to go back to their planets...their galaxies >:(

reg kyle “human cameo form” just for reference btw (if we remember) ft. kyle trying to draw what he thinks shed looks like ;-;

for ref they are like an art history/psychology major at cu

stan and kyle are roomates ouo but no they do not kiss :/....yet ;)

kyle is mad abt hiding it but for the sake of their family, keep it lowkey...that does not stop them from protesting for mutant/alien rights, going to dangerous rallies with stan ( who is shed aka mutated technically...but bc his mutation is considered "helpful" "not ugly" or scary by society...tool shed is a superhero...where as someone like kyle who is an alien and widely hated and demonized. )

i also think that kyle...might not sleep at night bc alien ? i think that they might just watch stan sleep in their dorm ( ok twilight ) or take night flights ( WHICH IS DANGEROUS SHEILA SAID NOT TO DO THAT ) and i also dont think they eat human food? or at least it doesnt nourish kyle/other aliens...and tastes really fucking bad.

i think there is some sort of underground part of the city, some sort of like dark web, undercity, black market part of denver/most major cities, where heavily mutated people, aliens, cyborgs, other species can interminge, you can buy alien life sources/energy fluid idk, chef is down there and i think has 72372329 arms and makes the alien food into fine dining...which is probably still scary but stan will eat anythin

also yes i do think kite takes stan down there once and they sit in the human-alien friendly restaurant and stan is like WowZA !! its scary but accepting down there...they also make u state ur species...and stan says human bc...his cover...but the machine picks up that he has a mutation but stans like ahaha must be broken im so normal! woops!

--sidebar abt stan...also heres pinterest toolstan again for ref :***

greasy king oh my god...hes cute tho in a snapback frat-fuckboy way

people do not know that stan is mutated, when they checked him at the hospital i think the machine...Exploded...when he was being treated for the strike...but uh RANDY IS SUPER RACIST AGAINST ALIENS AND MUTATED PEOPLE HE THINKS THEYRE ABOMINATIONS so its a secret...sharon...might know? and is protecting him from randy and people that might want him dead.

but I THINK that because stan can manip tools it works for things like...gears...engines...metal...parts of technology? so he makes the scanners and mutation check station machines go haywire or malfunction...tbh he is safe for now but he do be fuckin up smh

( but anyways! i do think that humans going down into the undercity alone is not completely safe...or at all because while a majority of aliens/mutated humans/other species are very kind and accept you for your authentic self...

...there are definitely some extremists on the other side of the coin who think ALL humans are evil and should die so...kind of dangerous to go alone...but i think stan goes down there ( either as shed or reg stan ) to pick up more alien food for kite bc he looks...faint...i think he almost dies or gets captured ripppp he is a damsel in distress )

cousin kyle!!!! oh my god so cousin kyle i guess is also a kite mutant alien then...BUT HES REALLY BAD AT BEING AN ALIEN AND HIDING IT HES BAD AT CONTROLLING HIS POWERS AND ALMOST BLOWS THEIR COVER A LOT...and whenever he comes by...kyle is basically babysitting him...bugs them abt liking stan

i do also think sometimes cousin kyle has to tag along w kyle to raccoon and friend meetings so he knows kyle is kite AND ALSO WENT WITH HUMAN KITE 2 AS A NAME? KYLE WAS MAD ASF

off topic i think alien kyle is like seven feet tall *wowza* i also think they have a tail not in a furry way let me live!!! in a badass alien way!

also...riley if ur reading this...alien form kyle is tall...but human form kyle...is short...also im making toolshed stan tall...ur welcome bestie

they also practice both judaism and kite theology ( but venturing to that church or getting caught w/ their alien torah essential is dangerous and could get you suspected as an alien and killed :( )

like u can live in society as an alien or someone with an advanced mutation but its...4x as hard to get a job, do anything, you get hatecrimed everyday...could get killed...its not worth it :////

last thing just for clarity:

i'm still working on this bear with me...its complicated ik

to me the way society divides mutations ( also i think there is a 20% percent chance people are born mutated bc of how chemically contaminated the possibly worldwide water supply is ill go into that later if people want it ) that u are accepted in society as a mutant if you have a small mutation, like a party trick, something that doesn't effect how you look but! also if you look human and have a power that you use to Save people, you're hailed as a superhero aka toolshed/fp

but racoon and friends is for like the shady odds and ends, the social pariah/outcasts who society doesnt like/dont fit in, like racoon!cartman is literally a raccoon person, mosquito i think does have a crazy pointy nose situation/maybe is some sort of bug alien...captain diabetes is medically compromised/weak...kyle is an alien...tolkien used to be racoon and friends bc he was a cyborg but realized evil was not the way...him and timmy switched over...

tldr: public perceptions in my weird tfbw universe ( wip )

humans: "good" ( ew )

humans with mutations that dont effect how you look: also good

human-mutants with strong powers that appear human/conventionally attractive: extremely good, worshipped

humans with mutations that make you look inhuman ( extra limbs, unnatural skin color, scales cysts/growths, wings, fangs, tails, ‘monstorous’/scary deformities): bad, frowned upon

aliens, cyborgs, other species in gen: V BAD, might incite violence

r&f are villians but because they are against a society that hates them and therefore lashing out in a way that started out as vigilante justice, but is now becoming Evil ( cartman i think just likes chaos )

and freedom pals is just trying to keep everyone safe and i think there are varying tolerances for the members of r&f by fp ( not bc of their mutations but bc of the atrocities committed by r&f like suspending school buses over buildings, holding civilians hostage etc. ) so when mysterion presented the idea of a merger a lot of them said hell no!! im not working with those motherfuckers!!! stan included...but after spending time w/ kite is reconsidering his stance on the merger

i also...think the undercity is a wellkept secret/people think its an evil place and dont go down there...its hard to get down there unless u know someone to protect civilians living down there..so most people think its a myth, a bad place etc. fp included but now that stan has been hes like...ITS BLOWING HIS MIND OKAY HES LEARNIN SM

sooooo basically kyle joined the villain cause bc people treat them like a villian anyways also took the name Human Kite when theyre obviously an alien just to b an asshole…luv them omg fight the power

ANYWAYS! I HOPE THAT MADE SENSE THE BOTTOM PART I AM STILL WORKING ON SHLHDSD ALSO IDK I TOOK A LOT OF LIBERTIES LMK HAHA SHSJS

-uncle nina, sweatin over my weird au again

[charmixpower]

Issue Twenty-One: The Shaab Stone

They can't even color Riven's uniform right on the cover, dear lord, call that foreshadowing

On that note I'm just gonna pretend that this Riven is show Riven for all of our sanities, because if I point out how Riven is usually much more chill and cool headed in the comics we're all gonna get annoyed

I have so many questions. Implying that Magix is like a university city, but the entire PLANET

I love how Griffin gives a negative amount of fucks

If you smoke in her office she'll blow up your cigarette or cigar XD

....I thought these were highschools??? He is like a balding adult and he can enroll????? What???

This confirms that in the comics witch philosophy is a very using fire to fight fire

You know after so many evil witches you'd think people would accept this is a terrible idea but nope

Comics Tecna is so lame, me and show Tecna are entranced by a model crane

OH MY GOD AN ACTUAL REASON WHY SO MANY RANDOM PLACES ON MAGIX ARE A NO MAGIC ZONE!!! AMAZING!!!

Tbh the comics never let a plot line hang

Spy Helia, doing spy Helia things

Hey isn't having a bunch of private military in a protected/enclosed area like super illegal???? Can't we tell the authorities that the Winx comics and show decided on a dice if they exist this ep

WAIT THEY ACTUALLY THOUGHT OF TELLING THE FUCKING AUTHORITIES AND DECIDED TO SEND TEENAGERS???? THIS IS ALL YOUR DUMBASSES FAULT

I swear nothing in the Winx show is more annoying than all the authorities shoving their responsibilities on teenagers, I know the Winx need to be doing things, but still

Stella. No magic.

What are you going to be able to do???

Comic artists said purple eyed Riven supremacy

Also "at the fortress of light"???? Like principal is a political role in the Winx world????

"and see how good he is" So this was a lie

That's actually a really smart idea from Helia

We love to see it

"Let's head back!" HELIA HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND??? AND LOSE SIGHT OF IT????? YOU WERE DOING SO WELL!!

You do not need to LEAVE to call backup!!!

God I hope this just a mistranslation, bc that is so fuckin dumb gjsbfjsjs don't let the evil people with the important rock leave where you can't find them

Riven, please stop being annoying and contraction

....Sky, what the fuck. How did you get to murder??

You people have sent on a mission to get the rock.... Like am I interpreting this wrong?? But aren't they technically a branch of the law???

Also bless you Helia for realizing that leaving is a incredibly stupid ass decision

He is planning on surrounding the private army with RF people, and he's also saying to wait for authorities in Magix

I need the writers to explain what the fuck they are trying to communicate

A business man taking over magix would have a much larger affect than how you act, so it really depends on who the has the most power but I understand where ur coming from girlie

"our powers" tho??

Helia once again is doing amazing sweetie, please don't let them out of your sight

Riven no

RIVEN NO!! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IF TIMMY IS GONNA HELP YOU!!!!

Ugh fucking dumbass, I definitely understand where he's coming from. It's right there, we should do something. But the squad is like right there too, at least try to get more than Timmy to come with

Tbh I would of liked it more if Riven got into an argument and him being loud got them found

It would of been really funny as well

See if Riven didn't ask Timmy to join him he would have just jumped out of the plane

No hesitation, no fear

And that would have been hilarious

Omg look at Helia's face 🥺 poor boy

This is part of Helia's and Saladin's 100 IQ plan together, did he know about it this far out???

I have so many questions about when they came up with that plan????

Is Tecna saying that about Riven or Timmy I cannot tell

If it's about Timmy, girl why

[sehnsuchts-trunken]

Hi, may I get a match-up for the hobbit please? I'm genderfluid they/them) and would like to shipped with a masc character please.

I'm an INFP-A, 9w1. My horoscope is gemini sun, leo moon, and libra rising. All of those are extremely accurate lol. I'm very whimsical and distant, but once you get to know me I'm even MORE whimsical and very emotionally intense lol. I'm a bit of a manic pixie dream girl lol. My intensity usually intimidates people, but otherwise I'm very open and friendly once you get to know me. I'm observant and introspective, which ironically makes it difficult for me to make friends and makes me a bit sensitive. I'm extremely compassionate, empathetic, patient, and understanding. It's one of my worst traits as well, since i struggle with forming boundaries and being angry at people who mightve wronged me. I'm also incredibly indecisive. I'm not a pushover though, and have no problem gently letting ppl know when I disagree with them or something.

The animals that my friends/family say remind them of me are bears and elephants. My favorite color is yellow, and my favorite flowers are honeysuckle and jasmine. My favorite season is a tie between summer and winter, even though I HATE the cold.

With my friends I'm very chaotic and they describe me as "a silly gnome/goblin". When with them i initiate most hangouts and have always been a sort of ring leader.

My giving love language is quality time and words of affirmation. Receiving they are physical touch and quality time.

I come from an abusive household and had to look out for my younger siblings (2 younger sisters and 3 cousins who are basically brothers).I've been through a lot and that's given me a unique perspective on the world and what it means to be alive.

For hobbies I really enjoy reading, crafting, writing poetry and am very good at it, and just spending time outside. I love listening to music and listen to absolutely everything and enjoy it lol. I'm very go-with-the-flow and am down for practically anything and everything at least once. I don't like mean-spirited things/people, the cold, and being man-handled lol.

My style is very hippie/70s with goth influence. I have very long dark straight mahogany hair and blue eyes, and a very small/petite frame (hence not liking being manhandled lol). I'm very pretty in a free-spirited way, and I'm quite graceful.

My ideal type is someone who can get me out of my shell a bit while still appreciating my soft/whimsical side. Someone who can have my back and we can be our inner children together, if that makes sense. I'd do well with someone who could understand me, and help me be the best version of myself. I believe love and empathy are the only things worthwhile in life, in all the various forms they take, despite what I've been through. It terrifies me though, so id need someone to convince me to take that leap with them. Its easy to scare me off as well so someone who could understand how to approach me without overwhelming me would be best. In relationships I'm very much drawn to a twin flame sort of dynamic lol.

((I'm sorry if I did this wrong, I couldn't find any rules through navigation on mobile or anything other than your post about opening match-ups, I'm so sorry if I did this wrong! Thank you so much💗))

you did everything right, no worries!! there actually should be a post on rules and stuff tho so um, i'll have to go check what's wrong with that soon. but you're all good!!

im a bit insecure about just how this turned out, cant really tell if you'll like it but we'll see!

I ship you with...

Fili!

You've known Fili your entire life. You were born at around the same time Kili was and you're pretty sure that's the reason why you're so close to them. It makes sense. Your parents had never been the best and you had a lot of family that you were happy to escape from now and then, plus Dis was lovely and more of a mother to you than yours ever was. So you spent the better part of your childhood with Kili - and with Kili meant with Fili as well, because they came in a package deal. Always.

While Kili grew to be your best friend, much like a brother, Fili... you'd always felt a few butterflies around. You could've written it off as some kind of childhood crush, of an infatuation in your teenage years, but honestly, you'd never quite got over it. You were older now, old enough that you should have long since been normal about the whole thing, old enough to have found work for yourself and left your parents behind. But you were still just as close to Kili and Fili and no, you were not over your crush in the slightest. Over the years, you'd just gotten better at pushing it down and suppressing it.

So you're there with them when Thorin calls on them for the quest of reclaiming Erebor. You're there because you're practically family, because Thorin knows and trusts you, and you're just as quick to agree as his nephews. And why wouldn't you go? You love them all dearly, you'd never been on an adventure before and Erebor was your home too, after all, or would have been at least, under different circumstances. So a few weeks later you start out on a life-changing journey with your two favourite dwarves in the whole world and you're honestly only a bit wistful because you'd had to leave your books and paper behind.

The three of you are a force to be reckoned with. Kili matches your chaotic energy exactly and Fili is - though certainly being the most responsible out of the three of you - still not nearly as responsible as his uncle, so your journey to Bilbo's little home all the way in Bag's End is some of the most fun you've had in your entire life. Daily life with them is obviously great as well, but what with your work and all, you haven't seen them this much in a long, long while.

It quiets down a bit when the rest of the company joins (most of them you know, some of them you can't remember), but you're still enough to get on Thorin's nerves quite a lot. You do make friends with Bilbo, though, who's drawn to just how whimsical and open you are. He may have been a bit put off by your joking about with Kili and Fili at the start, but you have him charmed a few days into your journey. You talk about books and plants and really, anything at all, and by day six you think you may have found a new life-long friend in Bilbo.

But even though you're now spending your time getting to know someone new, you're still as observant as ever, and you notice - of course you do - that the closer you get to Bilbo, the less you see of Fili. Kili is always close by and you certainly spend at least half of your time joking about with him, but whenever you ride or walk next to Bilbo, talking and laughing, Fili seems to disappear somewhere into the background, so much so that you actually have to search for him to spot him. It hurts, a bit, because you can't seem to pinpoint just what's wrong for a while. Wasn't everything just fine when you started out on this journey? Had you said something, done something wrong? You knew this kind of thing from your parents, but never from Fili, especially because he knew about... well, about everything, really, so he knew just how sensitive you could be about things like these. You did your best not to let it bother you too much.

Instead, you focused on Bilbo. He was funny and sweet, intelligent and understanding and for as much as you love the dwarves, for as much as you love your kin, you like that he's not as rough and intense. He's different. And maybe you're a bit different than the rest of the dwarves, too - you'd always been a bit slimmer and smaller and more petite than the rest and maybe that had shaped your personality in some way, too, you weren't sure. Maybe that's why the two of you grew so close in such short time.

You express your feelings for him quite the same way you do for everyone: loud and chaotic, just the way you are. You tell him that he's funny and sweet, intelligent and understanding because that's exactly how you show people that you like them, so, well, you do. But every time when, in the spur of the moment, you give Bilbo a friendly compliment, out of the corner of your eyes you see Fili scoff. You frown and try not to interpret too much into it, but it's hard - after all, you've been doing nothing but interpret and think and imagine because you've kept all of your feelings for Fili bottled up inside of you for your entire life, analysing and wondering if maybe, just maybe, there was a tiny little chance that he liked you that way, too. Not that you've ever really found anything. He was always just Fili.

But not this time. No, not this time. This time he's scoffing and turning away and staring gloomily at you when he thinks you don't notice because you're too deep in conversation with Bilbo. You do, though, definitely, because he's not being as secretive as he thinks he is. You watch him argue with Kili one evening, which you're sure hasn't happened this severely in years. Simply put, he's being weird.

He stomps off and Kili plops down next to you right after - you ask, of course, what's wrong with his brother, but you've asked Kili multiple times already and he simply won't tell you. And as much as Fili's behaviour is upsetting you, you won't go up to him either, because you're not that kind of person that pushes others - you're not even really angry, you rarely are, because whatever the reason is why Fili is behaving this way, there surely is a reason and you know him well enough to be aware that it's a good one too.

It all comes to an end in Rivendell. Most of the dwarves are in a bad mood, Bilbo hasn't been as ecstatic the entire journey and Gandalf seems to be much happier here than travelling, so the company is a bit split when it comes to their opinions on this place. You don't mind it much. You like being clean for once. Bathing had become a luxury. So while the dwarves keep complaining and brooding moodily, you're talking happily with Bilbo and Gandalf.

The elves seem a bit put off by you, but you're used to that, and after a night in Rivendell, when the dwarves have started brooding less and - well, no, they're still complaining just as much - some of the elves are conversing more and more with you. Maybe it's because you're spending most of your time with Bilbo and Gandalf (and Elrond in tow) or maybe it's because you're open and friendly, but either way you're meeting new people left and right. And that's when Fili's behaviour changes yet again.

Instead of staying out of your space and scoffing, suddenly he's by your side everywhere you go, every step you take. You're happy at first, excited that he so surprisingly comes back to you (now you're glad that you weren't all that angry in the first place), but it becomes clear after a few minutes already that he's not there to talk to you very much. It seems that he's made it his mission to stand gloomily beside you, glare at everybody who comes close to you and generally answer everything you say to him with an unmotivated "hmpf". It irritates you.

But when you get woken up by an annoyingly loud knock in the middle of the night, that's it for you. You open the door to see Fili and you're not even angry, you're really just... tired. In every sense. He's standing there in his night clothes and he seems to have had an epiphany of some sort, he looks starstruck and you're so done. You're so done you just pull him in, close the door, get back in bed, pat the empty space next to you and tell him that if he wants to talk, he should do it quickly, before you fall asleep again.

He stands in the middle of your room for so long you've actually almost fallen asleep again when he speaks up. Stuttering, which isn't what you're used to at all when it comes to him, and stumbling over his words, admitting that he's been acting stupid, that he's been acting dumb, admitting that the reason, that reason that you were sure was there, is that he's in love with you. Deeply, desperately, for so long he can't remember a time when he wasn't.

You don't really think you've heard him right but you also don't care. It's too late, you're too tired, he's looking too warm and broad and comfortable and before you can think about much anything, you've reached for him and guided him to your bed and cuddled up to him - he smells familiar, he feels safe, and he's reaching his arms around you and placing a kiss on your hair and telling you good night and somewhere in your hazy mind, you recognise the weird feeling in your stomach as butterflies.

The next morning, you wake up warm and cozy and when you open your eyes, you're facing Fili. You're actually, honestly, truly facing Fili. It takes two seconds to register. Then you feel his breath on your lips and his forehead against yours and your eyes fall closed all by themselves as you listen to him ask if he can kiss you now. You let him. Of course you let him.

You actually do talk it out that morning, though. Between a lot of kisses and a lot of cuddling, there's also a lot of talking. You're a bit nervous (even though that feeling settles after about the third or fourth kiss) but Fili has always been good at convincing you that you were brave and strong enough to do anything, and with the rhythmic stroke of his hand on your arm, the way he beams at you when he makes you giggle, how happily he listens to you talk, all of that convinces you in just a few hours how very right you were to pine for him your entire life.

When you don't show up for breakfast, you guess the others were worried some elf had killed you in your sleep, so Kili comes knocking on your door some time before noon. In full Kili fashion, he doesn't really knock at all, he more like just comes barging into your room, so you have barely enough time to look up before he stands at the foot of your bed with a dumb grin on his face that tells you he was very much aware of what was going on with his brother the past few weeks.

You don't mind. You don't really mind anything anymore. Because you spend your days in Fili's arms now, with his hand in yours and courting braids in your hair, and you're happier than you've ever been before. Now the people you'd always considered family more than your real family did become your real family, a few years after you'd recovered Erebor, on the day that you marry Fili. The happiest day of your life, because Fili made you feel exactly the way you'd always wished he would, because he was exactly what you'd always wanted, because you loved him. And because he loved you.

[wrecking]

how is it already january 31st. ok anyways uh fun month musically tbh! been listening to a looooot of yeule and a bunch of random older stuff clicked with me finally, gonna ramble about them under the cut

allie x - girl with no face (pre-release singles)

tbh gwnf made sense to me instantly and owht was incredible on first listen, but black eye took MONTHS to grow on me. at least i'm obsessed with now, prepare to see this on the list all year

ariana grande - yes, and? (single)

i am basic and like house music. i think the dissonance on the chorus lines scratches my brain in a way not a lot else does currently, it's just kinda listenable in a fun way and that's all it needed to be imo. that one line is kinda funny with how underperformed it is tho

dua lipa - houdini - extended edit (single)

this has just been slowly taking over my brain ngl, hooks on hooks and they're all very fun to just sing to yourself while you're doing random things

tinashe - bb/ang3l

talk to me nice SWEEPS okay but also tightrope, needs, treason... honestly the whole fucking ep okay it's all good

paramore - this is why

tbh this gets on here almost exclusively off me watching the live debut performance of running out of time. her vocals are so good and that song in particular has been my jam this month ok, also you first is so good both as their song and as remi wolf's

adrianne lenker - songs

several alters were vibing with this this month and tbh good for them. her next solo album is probably gonna take over my life when it releases so hey

paramore - after laughter

dash really liked this one, i've been really clicking with rose-colored boy finally. i find this is why to be the better listen overall, but god this thing is still really good

confidence man - tilt

weird pick but i've kinda come back around into being obsessed with this again! subdued but quirky dance, it's not as immediately catchy or bold as their debut, but i really like it for what it is

yeule - softscars

this was the centerpiece of the month, well tbh all of yeule's discography could be. their stuff is so good but in particular like poison arrow, a song i'll get to later when i talk abt glitch princess, and cyber meat and 4ui12 have been just ruling this month for me. this album's groaning metallic soundscapes have just been so cathartic as of late. i'm a stan now

looks away somewhat shamefully - 1989 (taylor's version)

i don't even have an excuse for this one ok i just like this album, i have for like fucking 7 years at this point and i like the vault tracks and the less i have to think about the discourse surrounding Her As A Person the better.

charli xcx - crash

this kinda snuck back up on me this month? finally decided to revisit it after a long long time away, and it's held up incredibly well! much like hold the girl by rina sawayama, an artist is not merely worth based on how much they pander to rym nerds. the hooks, delivery, and production on this are so fucking good idgaf

100 gecs - 1000 gecs

this really has held up so well ok. 10k also rly good but this and the unreleased stuff has been scratching a particular itch for me this month. literally every song (except stupid horse i THINK which is fine bc i was obsessed with it before now) has been the subject of a small obsession of mine this month it's so good

olivia rodrigo - guts

this album keeps holding up and keeps being relevant to me personally. girl please put the deluxe tracks on streaming already for me

pinkpantheress - heaven knows

this album is SO fucking good hoooooly shit. i thought her first project was just ok but this is an ALBUM. ophelia, feel complete, mosquito, the aisle, hell that ENTIRE first 4 track run, i feel like i'm forgetting more but like just that alone... god...

rajie - heart to heart

my city pop hidden gem, this thing is so flawless even still. it's me it's you is still peak hooks. there are a couple other japanese titles i don't wanna go copy paste but like they are also just some of the most timeless melodies i've ever heard. this and timely by anri are the 2 city pop releases i keep on full rotation constantly now

yeule - glitch princess

don't be so hard on your own beauty. that's literally it. i don't want to talk about it because it's personal but i've been streaming it like my life depends on it. means the fucking world to me

cafune - love songs for the end

this just refuses to let go of my attention? 5 songs, probably just "generic pop" to most people, yet perspective and unchained memory REFUSE to leave me alone. the amount of times i've just ended up mumbling out that "honestly i think about-" and end up singing the entire thing to myself is unreal. shockingly effective hook

lady gaga - the fame monster (deluxe)

felt like revisiting this and it's still kind of just a big pop bible. my spotify has been playing teeth way too much but other than that, no song really manages to wear itself out. i guess maybe paper gangsta but that one's so silly how could you hate it

florence and the machine - how big, how blue, how beautiful

random pick but i'm standing by it. have come to the conclusion this and hah are her best records, and i maintain that. this one in particular tho is just stunningly good

kacy hill - is it selfish if we talk about me again?

alice really liked this, and i've also been streaming frog rinse a fuckton bc god that vocal effect is so unique yet so good

laura les - haunted (single)

probably the 2nd most defining thing in january besides yeule, this single has been just The thing i listen to all the damn time. her unreleaseds are so good too (walls are closing in?!?!>?!?>!>??!! RELEASE IT)

maude latour - 001

random pick again but this ep is so good, it's her best imo despite not appearing to have "that high highs." something about the aesthetics of each song here and how they're basically all good bops holds them up so well

hiroshi yoshimura - music for nine post cards

this and green are records that mercedes has been streaming like no tomorrow cuz they're so chill, but this one is definitely my lesser favorite? better cover but i care a lot more abt the songs on green except for blink, which is mesmerizing

100 gecs - unreleased

literally all of them but especially ratatouille and the thos moser remix. they need to just put out an unreleased record idgaf they have too many good songs sitting on youtube

hiroshi yoshimura - green

i got a gorgeous vinyl copy of this, and i've just been thinking a lot about this album. also peak reading music, ambient sweep

-----

ok so unrelated ik i said i'd do stats for 2023 in this post back in december but you know what... i don't feel like it. just know it was like big thief dragon, ethel preachers daughter, and maggie rogers surrender top 3 charters of all time so far. let's see how this year treats all of them!

Stupidest thing you've seen/heard someone else do/say? i could not even begin to rank that. yesterday i stopped a job to take my lunch and marked clearly where to pick up, and the girl who picked it up from me couldnt figure out where id left off and ended up working from about 7 pages before i stopped, leaving a bright pink pickup point 5 pages later. absolutely nothing was accomplished.

Hyperfixation song? if you mean what song am i hyperfixating on right now, its the whole album 'still a Sigure virgin?' by ling tosite sigure. but if i had to deem one song a "hyperfixation song", it would be 'Between Two Worlds' by Mili, which is the song i listened to nonstop for 7 days straight, causing the entire plot and world of a dnd campaign to spawn in my brain like a fungus.

Have you ever been banned from a location and if so, why? uhh i dont think so.

What is your cursed food combination? idk how cursed it is but the #1 thing you can put on a hot dog is crushed doritos. not even a fuckin contest. however the most cursed food combination ive ever tried was a chicken nugget with chocolate sauce in it. the flavors refused to combine in any way and it was like i was eating a chicken nugget and also chocolate sauce separately not at the same time. it was a weird experience.

Trans rights? we're on the trans rights website. im different tho i support trans wrongs too

sleepover

the science team x gn! reader, 2nd pov

can be read as either romantic or platonic

...long, i went wild with this one >:)

content warning for bugs. nothing bad happens, there's just a little bug

ohh btw this story takes place in an au where the science team + reader escaped black mesa and are now living normal lives with normal jobs (while succesfully avoiding the authorities! they did wipe out the entire us army after all)

gordon works in a coffee shop, tommy is a veterinarian, benrey is a twitch streamer and lives in tommy's basement, dr. coomer and bubby are married and both work as chemistry teachers at some random high school lol. idk what the reader does, you guys decide :) this information is totally irrelevant to the story i just felt like sharing it :D

☆

poke.

poke poke.

...poke.

alright this was starting to get annoying. you turned to your right, glaring at the person attacking you with pokes. of course he was grinning like the little shit he is. "benrey. stop it." you said in annoyance.

you were currently lying on the cold floor of gordon's apartment, body snug in an old sleeping bag that totally failed at keeping you warm. to your right lies benrey, who's only wearing some random pajamas that he probably stole from gordon, no sleeping bag or blanket or anything.

he's still wearing his security guard helmet though. you learned pretty quickly that benrey enjoys wearing it all the time. you've never seen him take it off actually. you're cool with that tho. it suits him! very benrey-like.

your glare softened at the sight of benrey only lying in oversized pajamas. he.. probably wasn't human, but you still didn't want him to catch a cold. he was your friend! "dude, aren't you cold?" you slipped one hand from your sleeping bag and tucked a strand of benrey's hair away from his eyes. "you should get a blanket or something, i dunno. stop poking me, by the way."

poke.

sigh. how childish.

how did you even end up like this, you ask? well, someone from the science team (cough cough- bubby) decided it would be funny to have a sleepover at gordon's house (without his permission or knowledge, of course). you were totally coming too, but you still felt bad for gordon, so you made him some cookies as compensation. fortunately, those cookies made gordon refrain from throwing everyone from the same window that you guys snuck in through. yay! you don't blame him for freaking out so much though. you would also get pretty scared if a group of 5 people randomly snuck into your apartment through a bathroom window at 10 pm, haha.

however, gordon realized that even if he got your wonderful cookies, he was still going to suffer the night. oh well! at least you apologized for intruding. he searched through his house for some sleeping bags and blankets, and thankfully there was enough for everyone. benrey, coomer and bubby each got a sleeping bag, tommy got a comically large one because he's the tallest, gordon took some old blanket and you got (allegedly) the best sleeping bag that gordon owns. it was your favorite color, and yeah, it was comfy, but it wasn't thick enough to keep you warm for the whole night.

well, at least you had something unlike benrey, but looking at him now, you doubted he felt cold. where even is his sleeping bag..?

after watching some crappy horror movies and eating pizza that benrey somehow obtained (none of you ever recall him ordering it), we called it a night and went to sleep.. and now, here you are! cold. tired. lying on the hard floor and desperately trying to sleep while a midget of a man is constantly poking your cheek. you had no idea what time it was, maybe around 2 am? you were pretty sure everyone else was asleep.

poke.

"aughh, dude, please, stop it–" benrey suddenly grabbed both your cheeks and smushed your face. "HAHA. fish." he said while continuing to play with your face, merely inches from you, while ignoring your pleas for him to stop. just why can't he go bother someone else?

"get off of me!" you pushed his face away from you with your hand, "personal space!" benrey let go of your face, only to bite your hand instead. you hissed in pain "ow ow ow! motherffffu–"

ok. it didnt really hurt, but the audacity!!

"benrey, why do you hurt me like this?" you faked a sad voice. you knew benrey is just being the weirdo he is. it was funny, but also kinda annoying. you still wanted to sleep! why can't he be more like tommy? that guy never bit your hand like this!

"ish funny," he mumbled with your hand still trapped between his teeth. again, it really didnt hurt. "gordon ate my sleeping bag so now i'm bored.

"NO I DIDN-  no i did not!!"

"oh, hi gordon! i didn't know you're awake." you looked over at the brunette on the left. hm, you swear he was way on the other side of the room the last time you checked. when did he get so close?

when did he even get up? did you wake him? you hope you didn't! gordon can be extra grumpy during the night, so you don"t wanna deal with that. the man was currently wearing an old graphic band t-shirt and his hair was down, which is quite a rare sight to see. usually his hair is tied into a long ponytail. right now his hair was messy, but it framed his face just right and looked really fluffy!

man, you really need to ask him about his hair routine. how did he manage to keep his hair so pretty all the time?

your thoughts were occupied by gordon's fluffy hair that you didnt even notice you were staring. oops. gordon's death glare changed into a shy smile when he noticed you staring at him. he looked at you, voice quieter than it was seconds ago. "h-hey y/n! is.. benrey bothering you? should i punch him?" you giggled at the offer. "no, dont punch him, but you might need, i dunno, a wrench to get him off of me or something," you waved nonchalantly with your free hand as if your other hand wasn't currently being chewed on.

ah yes. this is fine.

gordon's glare returned, this time directed at benrey, and it seemed that both him and the midget got into a staring contest. you felt kind of uncomfortable laying between two arch enemies (or two gay homosexuals, depends on interpretation), so you let out a groan of annoyance for what seemed to be the 100th time. man, you just wanted to sleep!

"guys! if you wanna fight so bad, go play another game of monopoly, i'm tired and cold and i just wanna–" without a warning, you were embraced by two pairs of arms into a tight and warm double-hug. both benrey and gordon wrapped their arms around your torso.

well.. this is something.

none of you said a word for a while. their reaction was so sudden and unexpected that you had no idea what to say! you curiously looked left and right, benrey was staring into nothingness with his usual poker face, while gordon was actively avoiding your gaze, his cheeks were slightly dusted red. was embarrassed? what for..? to you this felt pretty silly and you couldn't help but let out a laugh. "woah, would you look at that! i'm not cold anymore! hehe.." you curled your arms around both men as you pet gordon's fluffy hair and rub circles into benrey's back. "thanks guys!"

if anyone right now would see you being sandwiched between two of your homies, you would probably feel embarrassed too, but no one else was awake! so that means there's zero chance of someone taking photos of you three to use as black mail. besides, this was very comfy. your friends were just trying to keep you warm, right? nothing weird about that.

after you 3 settled into the cuddle pile, you all stayed quiet. however, you swear you could hear faint purring coming from benrey. gordon's tense posture seemed to relax slowly aswell. you were glad to know that both of your friends felt comfy just liked you did.

and now you can sleep :)

☆

hah! or so you thought!

4 am. two hours later and you're already awake again.

turns out that gordon and benrey got so comfy that they (albeit accidentally) kicked you out from the group hug and instead decided to cuddle with eachother. you weren't angry at them, but you still felt annoyed that you're awake again.

no more sleepovers at gordon's house! sleep here is constantly interrupted, 0 stars!

you got up as quietly as possible to search for your phone. yeah, you weren't mad at gordon and benrey, but you would be a fool to pass this perfect opportunity to get some blackmail material! photos of those two cuddling without knowing? you just hit a golden vein! maybe with those photos you could finally convince benrey to stop stealing food from you.

now, your phone is hopefully still in your bag. that'y where you put it last time, right? and your bag is in the kitchen.. right?

let's go check out the kitchen then!

you tiptoed through the living room as quiet as a mouse to not wake up the two lovebirds that kicked you out. on the other side of the living room were dr. coomer and bubby, both asleep next to eachother in the typical dad napping position, with their hands crossed over their chest and stuff. it looked pretty funny. once you get your phone they are totally going to be your next victims!

hmm, where was tommy though? you looked over at the couch and saw the faint outline of the comically large sleeping bag. it was really dark and you couldn't see tommy well, but you assume he was asleep like everyone else.

finding your way into gordon's kitchen was harder than you thought. his house isn't that big, but it's dark and you don't want to wake up anyone by switching the lights on. you've been at this place only like two times before, so the only choice you had left was to blindly go into some room and hope that it's the kitchen. also, you had to make sure to not bump into anything, trip, or make too much noise. how fun!

after what felt like an hour but in reality was only like a minute, you stepped into a room that you assumed was the kitchen. the room was quite spacious and the floor was cold. yep, this has to be the kitchen. you were like 80% sure! so, carefully, you took a step forward..

..only to trip over something and land on the floor with an undignifued yelp. you quickly sat up and tried to hush your hissing as you rubbed your left arm, which seemed to take most of the fall damage. well, that hurt a LOT. not only that but you also probably looked like a silly cartoon character slipping on a banana peel!

"ouch- damnit.. what was that?" it was your bag. you literally tripped over the same bag you were looking for. guess it found you first..?

ignoring the pain in your arm and your damaged pride (thank god no one was here to see you!) you picked up the traitorous bag and reached your hand inside it to fish out your phone. you were still determined to take photos of gordon and benrey hugging eachother, it's a long journey, but you're already halfway there! yanking the phone out, you turn it on to check the time. 4:21. aww, you just missed the weed time.

you got up, still looking into your phone to check if you got any new messages or notifications. you were about to leave the kitchen and return to the living room, when you noticed gordon's fridge right next to you.

well, a little midnight snack wouldn't hurt. technically it would be something more like.. an early morning snack, but whatever. either way, you are a bit hungry. gordon won't mind, right? you're his friend! his tired, hungry friend who's totally not going to take photos of him without his permission! (dont be like y/n kids)

you open the fridge with a mischievous smile, but upon looking inside, you notice it's a bit.. empty. no eggs, no milk, only some mustard and vegetables in the corner that seem to be rotting already. you frown. there's really nothing to eat! maybe gordon forgot to go to the grocery store for a restock? yea that sounds like him. you make a mental note to go shopping for gordon as soon as possible.

you reach your hand towards the fridge door to close it, only to see something directly above the fridge door.

and by something, you mean a hecking human face. the light from the fridge shined on it ominously. you jumped away from the fridge immediately. however, before the light completely gone away, you had enough time to do a double check.

"huh.. tommy?!"

you squinted. now that it was dark again, you couldn't tell if it was really him. your eyes seemed to get used to the dark quickly though. you could clearly make out a tall figure. tommy waved at you.

"hi y/n. s-sorry i didn't mean to scare you." he said softly. "i tried- i tried to say hello but i didn't know how, i really didn't wanna scare you." his tone was sad and apologetic.

"o-oh! don't worry, it's ok!" you said with a nervous smile. "but uh.. how long have you been.. here?" you really hope he didn't see you fall. it took tommy about a minute to reply, but you don't mind the long pauses he does sometimes.

"39 minutes! i was watching this bug. here. on this–.. window." he said happily while moving towards the window to point at the insect he meant. you, however, felt your cheeks heat up. he must have totally saw you fall, that's embarrassing!!

you looked at tommy, he seemed very happy to show you the bug for some reason. you pushed the thought of him thinking you're just some clumsy idiot to the back of your mind and followed him. at least you get to see a cool bug.

tommy was already pointing at the little creature. you weren't a big fan of insects, but you were a big fan of seeing your homies happy so you weren't complaining. the bug did look pretty cool ngl. you looked over at tommy, whose attention was completely dedicated to the little guy. how cute!

suddenly, you got an idea. you turned on your phone and connected to gordon's wifi. as far as you knew, you were the only one that gordon gave his password to. what a privilege! taking a quick photo of the bug with flash (fortunately the bright light didn't disturb tommy nor the bug) you opened google lens to search for what type of insect it is. a few images of various bugs popped up and you clicked on one that seemed identical to the one tommy was currently observing.

"hmm, it looks like the violet ground beetle! these guys are pretty shiny. look, tommy!" the tall man moves closer to you to check out the article that you found. his eyes seem to sparkle as he looks at the pictures.

"violet ground beetles are nocturnal, so you can often spot them during the night. they usually live in woodlands and gardens... hm.. oh! they can't fly, but they have an interestinb defense mechanism against predators." you read aloud, both you and tommy interested in the bug lore. "we should probably release him though.. i'm sure the little guy has friends and family he needs to return to! these bugs prefer the outdoor anyway.. i wonder how he got here, in the first place.." you rambled lost in thought.

tommy understood what you meant and carefully moved his hand towards the bug to scoop him up, then cradled it in his palm as it was a little baby. seeing tommy so gentle made you smile, he's such a kind person! benrey should learn a thing or two from him.

you opened the window while tommy brought the bug closer to his face to take a better look at it. you had no idea how tommy could see anything in the dark but you didn't want to disturb him. looking at the open window, you could feel the chilly nightime air. it felt nice.

"there we go! the little one can go now." tommy slowly put his hands through the window, waiting until the bug decided he wants to leave. not only 10 seconds later, the insect scuttled from tommy's palm onto the wall and slowly made it's way to the ground, leaving both you and tommy watching it with sad faces.

wait– what? did you seriously get emotionally attached to a bug?!

tommy looked down at you and smiled "thanks- for the help, y/n. i couldn't do it without you!" you literally only opened the window but alright. he seemed so genuinely grateful that you couldn't say anything but accept his thanks. "of course, glad to help, buddy!" you smiled and pat his shoulder. you were surprised by how much you had to stretch your arm just to reach his shoulder.. damn, he really do be tall.

the air around you two started to go from pleasantly chilly to freezing, so you closed the window. still feeling cold, you hugged yourself and looked back at tommy. "so... are you gonna go back to sleep or.."

"yeah, i- i just-.. no bug anymore so i go to bed. but i'll drink some water first, give me a second." you nod and wait for him to get a glass of water. he, however, got two, shoving the second one towards you.

"oh, for me? thanks, buddy!" how kind of him! you happily accepted the drink and gulped it down. you weren't really thirsty, but the water felt refreshing anyway. you both put the glasses down and then left the kitchen together, with you still clutching your phone in your left hand. the way back to the living room was actually much quicker. you didn't know where you were going, you just followed tommy who seemed much more familiar with the place. must be because tommy often hangs out over at gordon's place to play tekken.

as soon as you stepped into the living room, you tiptoed devilishly towards the sleeping duo that kicked you out of the cuddle pile. rubbing your hands together like an evil hamster, you whipped out your phone. this is the moment you've been waiting for! you quickly take a look at tommy who seemed a bit surprised by your behavior, just standing there in the doorway with a blank expression. he looked at you, then at your phone, then at gordon and tommy, and then back at you. oh no, is he upset? he probably doesn't agree with the thing you're about to do..

so imagine the surprise you felt when tommy raised his arm to give you a thumbs up, still holding that blank stare.

you grinned. did you just get a new partner in crime? woohoo :D

nothing was stopping you now.. looking back at the sleeping duo on the floor, your little grin spread into a wide evil villain smirk. you probably looked like the hecking grinch about the steal the christmas or something.

revenge >:)

☆

15 minutes have passed and you were quite satisfied with the pictures you got. currently you were sitting criss cross apple sauce on the couch and showing tommy, who was sitting right beside you, some memes you had on your phone. he really likes the minion ones you ironically saved from facebook.

both of you were trying your best to keep quiet to not wake up the rest of the science team, but you still had lots fun just chilling with tommy and trying not to laugh at pictures of funny cats. you began to feel tired though, you didnt mean to stay awake for so long after all.

letting out a big yawn, you unknowingly leaned towards tommy and rested your head against his shoulder. he really didn't seem to mind though. "alright bud, that's enough fun for tonight. lets go.. yawn.. back to bed." tommy hummed in agreement. you were about to get up and head towards your sleeping bag when it hit you - you didnt have a place to sleep at anymore!

gordon and benrey were still occupying your spot and you really didn't want to wake them up! maybe you could just sleep at gordon's bed? no, that would be rude. you don't even know where his bedroom is! well, you could try to just sleep on the floor without a blanket or a sleeping bag, but that would be very uncomfy.. oh, what to do now..

suddenly, tommy tapped your shoulder. "y/n- you-... uhh, wanna sleep.. here? in the big bag?" he pat the comically oversized sleeping bag for emphasis. "it's like- we're gonna be like two peas in a pod!" he stated matter of factly.

was tommy really offering you to just sleep next to him? fr? you didn't want to invade his space, but he didn't seem to mind you sleeping next to him. there was no other place to sleep, so this was the next best thing. tommy offered it himself, so it's okay to accept, right?

"hm.. ok!" you say enthusiastically. this should be fun! tommy smiled, very pleased by your answer. he unzipped the sleeping bag and you noticed it was actually one of those double sleeping bags they make for couples. you both climbed inside and got comfy.. this felt very nice! it was much warmer than the sleeping bag you had before.

looking over at tommy, you grinned. it was really nice of him to let you sleep next to him! slowly you reached out  towards his head and pet his hair gently. "thank you so much, tommy. you're a real friend." tommy answered you with a sleepy hum and you smiled at him softly. "goodnight."

and then you guys fall asleep hugging eachother hehe. how nice it is to have homies!!!

☆

morning came soon. you got up with a yawn while rubbing your still sleepy eyes and noticed that tommy wasn't next to you anymore. you slowly stood up and stretched, your back aching. man, the couch sure was better than the damn floor but your back would still prefer a soft comfy bed. what seemed to get your attention though was the smell of the air. it reminded you of the first time you tried to make a cake but burned it instead. except this time, the smell was way worse.

oh. bubby must be cooking!

your assumption turned out to be true. the horrid smell got stronger as you were heading towards the kitchen and upon entering you were met with gordon yelling.

"MY STOVE! NOO!"

gordon was lying on the floor in front of the new stove he got just a few months ago, hitting his fist against the cold tiles while letting out a cry of defeat. next to him stood coomer, who was gently patting gordon's back to comfort him. tommy and benrey were both sitting at the table while watching the whole fiasco. benrey was nibbling a fork for some reason.

right next to the stove stood the culprit, the criminal himself. bubby was wearing an apron that said 'queen of the kitchen' while awkwardly leaning over the stove to check what remained of his "scrambled eggs". he poked into the weird burnt material curiously with a spatula. "gordon. your stove just ruined my eggs."

"I TOLD YOU YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LIGHT THE EGGS ON FIRE!!" gordon cried out, still on the floor. you walked over to him without a word and crouched down to pet his hair. coomer noticed your presence and greeted you with a loud "hello, y/n!" and then walked over to bubby to pat his shoulder with a proud smile on his face. "professor bubby, you've outdone yourself. this is the 6th stove you broke in a week! you've beaten last month's record!"

coomer's praise was genuine, but bubby didn't appreaciate it. he swatted the spatula he was holding at his husband while hissing. "shut up! it's not my fault that gordon's stove can't handle my wonderful cooking." he crossed his arms angrily, and then he got an idea. "hm.. maybe i should try cooking at y/n's house instead.."

well, that got your attention.

"OH! uhh.. how about- how about no more sleepovers for a while? ..please?" you pleaded, desparate. "don't kill my stove!" you love bubby, you really do, but you are never letting that pyromaniac anywhere near your house, much less your precious kitchen. as you sat next to gordon and pet his hair, you suddenly remember something. you checked gordon's fridge last night and you clearly remember the lack of eggs, or any fresh food for that matter.. so where in the world did bubby get the eggs??

you looked up at bubby, who still seemed a bit frustrated. "bubby..? where did you get the eggs?" the man looked down at you and his expression softened when he realized it was you talking. "oh! benrey gave them to me." he replied and honestly you weren't that much surprised by his answer. you turned your head towards benrey and stared at him, silently asking for an explanation. when he noticed your gaze on him, benrey stopped chewing on the fork and spoke. "uhhh, yea i got them from the egg man."

"..the egg man?"

"the egg man."

okay. you have no idea what that implies. best case is that he stole them from one of gordon's neighbours. worst case is that.. uh, actually, you have no idea. maybe it's a good thing that none of you end up eating the suspicious (and burnt) scrambled eggs anyway. you pat gordon's back one last time and stood up. "c'mon, big guy, i'm sure insurance will cover for the damage. let's go shopping!" you offer him your hand with a smile and try your best to cheer him up. gordon wipes away at his eyes and stands up, looking at you while actively avoiding the rest of the guys in the kitchen. you were literally his only hope here!

you grinned back at him and squeezed his hand reassuringly. then you turned towards everyone else as if asking if they want to come with. all of them seemed okay with a quick trip to the grocery store, so you gave them some time to get dressed up and ready. y

you were about to leave the kitchen to get ready too when someone grabbed your wrist. you looked back and were met face to face with gordon. his expression was focused and determined, but then quickly turned shy and nervous when he realized how close your faces were. "y/n, i- uhh, i want to..." he clears his throat. "i just want to say thanks. you know, for everything." you looked at him surprised, why was he thanking you? you didn't help him with anything!

his words seemed so genuine though, you couldn't help but smile and just go with it. "aww, no problem, gordon!" you say as you happily wrap your arms around his neck and pull him into a tight embrace. you close your eyes and just enjoy the moment, which gordon is extremely glad for because you don't get to see how red his face got. after relaxing a bit into the hug, he wraps his arms around you and squeezes you once, which makes you giggle. you pull away after a while and with one smile sent to gordon you leave the kitchen to get dressed as well.

while getting dressed, you finally have the time and privacy to think about all the things that happened last night and this morning. all of your friends are so silly, but you can't deny how much you love all of them. they are so different from eachother and often fight one another, but they always manage to make up, which makes their bond stronger each day. you are so grateful to have this crazy group of dorks as your friends. you smile at the thought of them, it's like they are your second family..

the beautiful moment is unfortunately ruined by none other than gordon yelling. "BENREY!! WHERE DID YOU HIDE MY WALLET?!"

ah yes, your weird and loud second family.

~ getting to know your BL mutuals ~

got tagged by @wanderlust-in-my-soul​ ♥ thank you so much and sorry i’m so late!

rules: answer the questions and @ some people. Include the tag 'g2ky BL mutuals 2022' on your post so we can find everyone's answer.

What have been the BLs that took you by surprise this year?

i’ve watched so many bls this year it feels a bit insane but at least i have stuff to choose from! all those shows have also brought me amongst a large group of amazing ppl here :’) i wish i could talk about all of them bc of that but well.

Bad Buddy - when i got into this one, i did not expect it to fill my mind, heart, and soul the way it did. the title made me expect something very silly, especially knowing how ohm and his roles are. but i am incredibly happy we have something like bb, it means so much to me ♥

Blueming - i remember seeing snippets of this one and semantic error around the same time. the general feeling i got was that ppl preferred semantic error, or that there was more talk about that one. personally, i prefer this bc there’s something in it that made me fee extremely seen ♥

Enchanté - didn’t really expect anything from this show once i finally got into it. i basically went there just to get a bit more of jimmy content (which i did. my boy ♥). but jokes on me, i adored akktheo too. the ending could’ve been different but they had one of the best slow burns i’ve seen in a while ♥

You’re My Sky - i will never get over how good this show was. i was very surprised bc i didn’t think a sports bl could do something like this. but this one just feels like there’s been a lot of thought put into it and it managed to get under my skin in similar ways as blueming did ♥

Triage - expected something as wild and kind of silly as manner of death was as these two happen in the same universe. also exected something very aesthetically pleasing once i learned who the director was. got both but on top of that triage was an interesting look at life, death, and everything in between ♥

Color Rush 2 - i was very into the first season but saw other ppl being kind of let down by this second one. i was also a bit confused about the second main lead getting changed/left out but then decided to just watch this one night. was very happy with everything i got and despite the runtime obviously being a bit too short for what they were attempting here, i got filled with a lot of love and some heartache ♥

Bonus: The Shipper - i don’t want to label this strictly a bl bc this doesn’t feel like it belongs there. but i still want to mention it here bc it totally blew me away. after i go over the cringe at the beginning of this show and settled into its humor, i adored this show to bits. i will always think about this one very fondly, even after all the heartbreak it gave me ♥

What have been the BLs that you felt a bit disappointed with this year?

none of this is intended as hate, just saying

KinnPorsche - don’t get me wrong, kp is one of the most stunning shows i’ve seen in a while. their cinematography was amazing, they had obviously paid attention to detail, and i liked many of the characters. i just thought the plot fell a bit flat and some of the characters didn’t make sense as the story developed. maybe i expected too much or just wanted something different from what i got? vegaspete still makes me insane tho, god bless. 

Not Me - the show is a masterpiece and i am very, very happy we got it. it was a blast to follow it all way through and it has some of my fave scenes, themes, and characters ever. but then the obvious issues they had with the writing and especially the ending of the show kind of took away some of the shine. i know it was not the team’s fault entirely bc they weren’t given much but i still mourn a type of loss, even more so when over half of the show promised so much. also am still somewhat bitter about gramblack. 

The Eclipse - i looked forward to this one a lot once i watched most of the gmmtv2022 trailers at the beginning of the year. this, vv and never let me go were the ones that drove me insane. i had a lot of theories about how the plot for this might go and i was very on board with what they did until like. maybe ep 7? i cannot remember. but at some point the plot just totally flew out the window and i was not satisfied with how things ended :/ i still love that we got both akkayan and kanthua. they are very important to me. 

What has been your favorite BL this year?

The two bls that became my personality for a while aka Bad Buddy and Vice Versa. I know I am very biased. I do not care. I adore both to bits and find such comfort from both of these shows and their characters ♥ I can also thank both from various amazing friendships on this site plus a lot of inspiration I still keep treasuring and using every day. 

(is it even me if i don’t somehow make it about vice versa?)

What's your non-BL favorite this year?

i think it’s a tie between 55:15 Never Too Late and My Dear Loser: Edge of 17. i dunno what it says about me that both of these are nanon led series but this is where i am at the moment :’D 

i haven’t watched that many non bls this year but both of these left an impression. 55:15 was amazing, both with the plot and the characters. i kind of want to watch it again just to see more of the details. both the older and younger actors were acting their asses off, and i enjoyed the whole experience down to every emotion the show tore out of me. my dear loser then again surprised me by being super sweet but also very rough. young nanon as oh is a treasure (i wish i could just pat his head and pinch his cheeks), but i can also see a lot of pain in there under his goofy smile. he and his personal journey made me feel a lot, and the show also brought up some issues that hit close to home. 

thank you so much once more for tagging me into this ^^ i dunno how many ppl have already done this but am still tagging a few! feel free to ignore, or just link me your post if you’ve already done this! also wishing everyone very happy holidays, may it be warm and cozy ♥
