Thinking abt the concept of a twst!au...

Universal love!reader?

Like think about it...

Let's say this could happen after years of trauma in your world... like suddenly, you have no motivation to do anything, no brushing teeth, no showering, no nothing. So then you slept that night. Right? So you're living in your apartment, low minimum-wage of salary in your part-time job, an apartment that (thankfully) had a clean bathroom and other rooms. And a left necklace... huh? So, you've asked the apartment manager abt it, they said they didn't know at all. The previous homeowners did not have that, sparkly magica-madoka looking necklace. So, of course you've kept it with you since it reminds you of Magica Madoka. And you wore it. Now, time to sleep...

Suddenly you wake up, roll over your bed, and get teleported magical-girl transition style. Into the fucking aesthetically pleasing location of the sea. Of course, you had no clothes on (how did that happen??), BUT then, you get suddenly pushed up, and you met with a bathtub in the center of a beautiful-looking gazebo. And when you lay back down to sleep again, you felt a very comfortable and soft pillow-headrest. WTF? The water you were I was somehow connected to a very clean and sparkly river. And the petals around you were your favorite flowers. And two space-like hands, gentle, firm, and soft. The hands of a woman. But from where? The cracked seams of reality BEHIND YOU? Uhm, well shit, where was this spoiling when you were born???

So after that luxurious bathtime, you fell into the waters (again), but the background was new. IT LOOKED LIKE BARBIE'S WALK-IN CLOSET FROM BARBIE'S DREAMHOUSE??? YAAA- Anyways, you were met with a shit-ton of aesthetic college uniforms that definitely matches your taste and make your classmates jealous. So, of course, like the universe itself is reading your mind (bc it is), dressed you up in a comfortable clothing of your uniform. Before it could finish giving you socks/shoes of your choosing.

You were on your bed. With your bag leaning sideways on the bed beside you. So, enough of this bullshit where you were on drugs early morning. You grabbed your bag, checked your mirror to see if you were high or something.

You weren't.

So after a hectic and diabolical day of college, you of course, slept (after the magical-whatever thingy happened again) since you were tired. (The classmate you hated tripped down the stairs as you were praying for it, that one teacher you hate suddenly got sick and had gone absent, gym was dismissed early bc of an incident, and the other subjects like math were a bit easier to understand), so when you slept AGAIN.

Okayyy, so... Maybe it stopped now? Nope. You went to the kitchen to take a quick breakfast since you MIGHT be late to school (secretly you weren't but shh), then you see. On the counter, a freshly made breakfast of your favorite dish. You tasted it ofc. Bc it smelled so nice. And surprisingly it wasn't poisoned! Yay! You went to school, tripped over air, but vines had shot out to catch you? Oh, well things just got even weirder. Until it happens everyday. Everytime you mentioned or even THOUGHT of getting your favorite fashion clothes (look those styles ESPECIALLY MORUTES OR ANGELCORE OR OR EVEN CUTECORE, CELESTIAL CORE-) and whatever, suddenly you have a closet JUST FOR THAT. Huh...did the universe finally take notice of you? Yay! (And maybe other multi-universes justttt incase you suddenly go to their world, haha.)

...You were transported. (And it wasn't the universe or ANY universe doing that...) to... Twisted Wonderland? What. Are you in a kids cartoon show... (no you aren't bby🫶 your in a psyche ward). And after the whole Showdown in that ceremony shit (dark mirror saying you have no magic in the MOST respectful ways possible while still sounding nonchalant and mysterious, the whole showdown with Grim happened and blah blah blah). You get sent to Ramshackle's. Yikes. Oh, but instead it kinda works. Just looks like a doll-house of sorts. Creepy but aesthetically pleasing.

Wdym it wasn't supposed to look like that, Crowley?

So, imagine this, you can ask the dark mirror whatever you like, and it'll answer you (not abt your home though... smh), and whatever you do in school (directing this to the ghosts and whoever works there), actually treats you nicely! (When you and Grim were assigned as janitor you didn't do any of the work. The broom was doing it for you... IS THE TRASH PICKING ITSELF UP?)

How would YOU think the cast will react to that? (Not taking requests rn! Just talk with me please 🙏)

[thisnestisempty]

please look at this beautiful mouse

[thisnestisempty]

When searching for ships you like got you slapped with "Why would you ship them?!" and "This is toxic". That's the point.

I still lied down and thought about it for a while though

[thisnestisempty]

Re-blog this if:

- you’re gay - can read - support gay people - want to hold a match between your fingers as you wander the halls of an ancient castle because it’s your only source of light amidst the ghosts of people long past - are an antelope - or want a chocolate bar.

No one will know which applies.

[thisnestisempty]

SO HERE IS THE WHOLE STORY (SO FAR).

I am on my knees begging you to reblog this post and to stop reblogging the original ones I sent out yesterday. This is the complete account with all the most recent info; the other one is just sending people down senselessly panicked avenues that no longer lead anywhere.

IN SHORT

Cliff Weitzman, CEO of Speechify and (aspiring?) voice actor, used AI to scrape thousands of popular, finished works off AO3 to list them on his own for-profit website and in his attached app. He did this without getting any kind of permission from the authors of said work or informing AO3. Obviously.

When fandom at large was made aware of his theft and started pushing back, Weitzman issued a non-apology on the original social media posts—using 

his dyslexia; 

his intent to implement a tip-system for the plagiarized authors; and 

a sudden willingness to take down the work of every author who saw my original social media posts and emailed him individually with a ‘valid’ claim,

as reasons we should allow him to continue monetizing fanwork for his own financial gain.

When we less-than-kindly refused, he took down his ‘apologies’ as well as his website (allegedly—it’s possible that our complaints to his web host, the deluge of emails he received or the unanticipated traffic brought it down, since there wasn’t any sort of official statement made about it), and when it came back up several hours later, all of the work formerly listed in the fan fiction category was no longer listed. 

THE TAKEAWAYS

1. Cliff Weitzman (aka Ofek Weitzman) is a scumbag with no qualms about taking fanwork without permission, feeding it to AI and monetizing it for his own financial gain; 

2. Fandom can really get things done when it wants to, and 

3. Our fanworks appear to be hidden, but they’re NOT DELETED from Weitzman’s servers, and independently published, original works are still listed without the authors' permission. We need to hold this man responsible for his theft, keep an eye on both his current and future endeavors, and take action immediately when he crosses the line again. 

THE TIMELINE, THE DETAILS, THE SCREENSHOTS (behind the cut)

Sunday night, December 22nd 2024, I noticed an influx in visitors to my fic You & Me & Holiday Wine. When I searched the title online, hoping to find out where they came from, a new listing popped up (third one down, no less):

This listing is still up today, by the way, though now when you follow the link to word-stream, it just brings you to the main site. (Also, to be clear, this was not the cause for the influx of traffic to my fic; word-stream did not link back to the original work anywhere.)

I followed the link to word-stream, where to my horror Y&M&HW was listed in its entirety—though, beyond the first half of the first chapter, behind a paywall—along with a link promising to take me—through an app downloadable on the Apple Store—to an AI-narrated audiobook version. When I searched word-stream itself for my ao3 handle I found both of my multi-chapter fics were listed this way:

Because the tags on my fics (which included genres* and characters, but never the original IPs**) weren’t working, I put ‘Kara Danvers’ into the search bar and discovered that many more supercorp fics (Supergirl TV fandom, Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor pairing) were listed.

I went looking online for any mention of word-stream and AI plagiarism (the covers—as well as the ridiculously inflated number of reviews and ratings—made it immediately obvious that AI fuckery was involved), but found almost nothing: only one single Reddit post had been made, and it received (at that time) only a handful of upvotes and no advice. 

I decided to make a tumblr post to bring the supercorp fandom up to speed about the theft. I draw as well as write for fandom and I’ve only ever had to deal with art theft—which has a clear set of steps to take depending on where said art was reposted—and I was at a loss regarding where to start in this situation.

After my post went up I remembered Project Copy Knight, which is worth commending for the work they’ve done to get fic stolen from AO3 taken down from monetized AI 'audiobook’ YouTube accounts. I reached out to @echoekhi, asking if they’d heard of this site and whether they could advise me on how to get our works taken down.

While waiting for a reply I looked into Copy Knight’s methods and decided to contact OTW’s legal department:

And then I went to bed.

By morning, tumblr friends @makicarn and @fazedlight as well as a very helpful tumblr anon had seen my post and done some very productive sleuthing:

@echoekhi had also gotten back to me, advising me, as expected, to contact the OTW. So I decided to sit tight until I got a response from them.

That response came only an hour or so later: 

Which was 100% understandable, but still disappointing—I doubted a handful of individual takedown requests would accomplish much, and I wasn’t eager to share my given name and personal information with Cliff Weitzman himself, which is unavoidable if you want to file a DMCA.

I decided to take it to Reddit, hoping it would gain traction in the wider fanfic community, considering so many fandoms were affected. My Reddit posts (with the updates at the bottom as they were emerging) can be found here and here.

A helpful Reddit user posted a guide on how users could go about filing a DMCA against word-stream here (to wobbly-at-best results)

A different helpful Reddit user signed up to access insight into word-streams pricing. Comment is here.

Smells unbelievably scammy, right? In addition to those audacious prices—though in all fairness any amount of money would be audacious considering every work listed is accessible elsewhere for free—my dyscalculia is screaming silently at the sight of that completely unnecessary amount of intentionally obscured numbers.

Speaking of which! As soon as the post on r/AO3—and, as a result, my original tumblr post—began taking off properly, sometime around 1 pm, jumpscare! A notification that a tumblr account named @cliffweitzman had commented on my post, and I got a bit mad about the gist of his message :

Fortunately he caught plenty of flack in the comments from other users (truly you should check out the comment section, it is extremely gratifying and people are making tremendously good points), in response to which, of course, he first tried to both reiterate and renegotiate his point in a second, longer comment (which I didn’t screenshot in time so I’m sorry for the crappy notification email formatting):

which he then proceeded to also post to Reddit (this is another Reddit user’s screenshot, I didn’t see it at all, the notifications were moving too fast for me to follow by then)

... where he got a roughly equal amount of righteously furious replies. (Check downthread, they're still there, all the way at the bottom.)

After which Cliff went ahead & deleted his messages altogether. 

It’s not entirely clear whether his account was suspended by Reddit soon after or whether he deleted it himself, but considering his tumblr account is still intact, I assume it’s the former. He made a handful of sock puppet accounts to play around with for a while, both on Reddit and Tumblr, only one of which I have a screenshot of, but since they all say roughly the same thing, you’re not missing much:

And then word-stream started throwing a DNS error.

That lasted for a good number of hours, which was unfortunately right around the time that a lot of authors first heard about the situation and started asking me individually how to find out whether their work was stolen too. I do not have that information and I am unclear on the perimeters Weitzman set for his AI scraper, so this is all conjecture: it LOOKS like the fics that were lifted had three things in common:

They were completed works;

They had over several thousand kudos on AO3; and

They were written by authors who had actively posted or updated work over the past year.

If anyone knows more about these perimeters or has info that counters my observation, please let me know!

I finally thought to check/alert evil Twitter during this time, and found out that the news was doing the rounds there already. I made a quick thread summarizing everything that had happened just in case. You can find it here.

I went to Bluesky too, where fandom was doing all the heavy lifting for me already, so I just reskeeted, as you do, and carried on.

Sometime in the very early evening, word-stream went back up—but the fan fiction category was nowhere to be seen. Tentative joy and celebration!***

That’s when several users—the ones who had signed up for accounts to gain intel and had accessed their own fics that way—reported that their work could still be accessed through their history. Relevant Reddit post here.

Sooo—

We’re obviously not done. The fanwork that was stolen by Weitzman may be inaccessible through his website right now, but they aren’t actually gone. And the fact that Weitzman wasn’t willing to get rid of them altogether means he still has plans for them. 

This was my final edit on my Reddit post before turning off notifications, and it's pretty much where my head will be at for at least the foreseeable future:

Please feel free to add info in the comments, make your own posts, take whatever action you want to take to protect your work. I only beg you—seriously, I’m on my knees here—to not give up like I saw a handful of people express the urge to do. Keep sharing your creative work and remain vigilant and stay active to make sure we can continue to do so freely. Visit your favorite fics, and the ones you’ve kept in your ‘marked for later’ lists but never made time to read, and leave kudos, leave comments, support your fandom creatives, celebrate podficcers and support AO3. We created this place and it’s our responsibility to keep it alive and thriving for as long as we possibly can.

Also FUCK generative AI. It has NO place in fandom spaces.

THE 'SMALL' PRINT (some of it in all caps):

*Weitzman knew what he was doing and can NOT claim ignorance. One, it’s pretty basic kindergarten stuff that you don’t steal some other kid’s art project and present it as your own only to act surprised when they protest and then tell the victim that they should have told you sooner that they didn’t want their project stolen. And two, he was very careful never to list the IPs these fanworks were based on, so it’s clear he was at least familiar enough with the legalities to not get himself in hot water with corporate lawyers. Fucking over fans, though, he figured he could get away with that. 

**A note about the AI that Weitzman used to steal our work: it’s even greasier than it looks at first glance. It’s not just the method he used to lift works off AO3 and then regurgitate onto his own website and app. Looking beyond the untold horrors of his AI-generated cover ‘art’, in many cases these covers attempt to depict something from the fics in question that can’t be gleaned from their summaries alone. In addition, my fics (and I assume the others, as well) were listed with generated genres; tags that did not appear anywhere in or on my fic on AO3 and were sometimes scarily accurate and sometimes way off the mark. I remember You & Me & Holiday Wine had ‘found family’ (100% correct, but not tagged by me as such) and I believe The Shape of Soup was listed as, among others, ‘enemies to friends to lovers’ and ‘love triangle’ (both wildly inaccurate). Even worse, not all the fic listed (as authors on Reddit pointed out) came with their original summaries at all. Often the entire summary was AI-generated. All of these things make it very clear that it was an all-encompassing scrape—not only were our fics stolen, they were also fed word-for-word into the AI Weitzman used and then analyzed to suit Weitzman’s needs. This means our work was literally fed to this AI to basically do with whatever its other users want, including (one assumes) text generation. 

***Fan fiction appears to have been made (largely) inaccessible on word-stream at this time, but I’m hearing from several authors that their original, independently published work, which is listed at places like Kindle Unlimited, DOES still appear in word-stream’s search engine. This obviously hurts writers, especially independent ones, who depend on these works for income and, as a rule, don’t have a huge budget or a legal team with oceans of time to fight these battles for them. If you consider yourself an author in the broader sense, beyond merely existing online as a fandom author, beyond concerns that your own work is immediately at risk, DO NOT STOP MAKING NOISE ABOUT THIS.

Again, please, please PLEASE reblog this post instead of the one I sent originally. All the information is here, and it's driving me nuts to see the old ones are still passed around, sending people on wild goose chases.

Thank you all so much.

what if people we consider collectors today were actually just dragons in disguise, building their hoards?

“I am a dragon. And this is my hoard.”

“You… don’t look like a dragon.”

“Well, hardly anyone does, these days. Times have changed, we have too. The scales and tails thing worked with the dinosaurs, but we learned quite quickly that… that wasn’t going to fly with you people.”

“You were around all the way back to the dinosaurs?”

“Well, not like… me personally. How old do you think I am?”

“… There’s no safe answer to that.”

“No.”

“So… when you say this is your hoard…?”

“All dragons have them. Some stick to the old gold and jewels thing, but that’s so cliche these days. Most of us like our hoards to be a little bit more sophisticated than ‘shiny.’“

“Like what?”

“I have known dragons to collect snowflakes from the first fall of the year over dozens of centuries. I know dragons that collect petals of flowers left on the graves of loved ones. Dragons that keep and care for soft toys and comfort items, left behind as children grow up. Dragons that guard happy memories and shards of sunlight, kept safe for rainy days. And me, I keep a sanctuary of words. A bastion of language, of poetry. Of written music and achingly beautiful prose. I am the Guardian of this monument to linguistic majesty. I collect stories of love and life and death and mourning and joy. There is nothing more beautiful in all the world, no coin or gem or sliver of starlight more fantastic than a well-told tale. A story is this world’s truest treasure, and what better chest for it than a book?”

“Wow. So these things… really mean a lot to you, huh?”

“More than anything in this world.”

“So… I probably can’t borrow your copies of Discworld, can I?”

“You absolutely fucking cannot.”

he probably goes into college for a business degree lmao

he’s very studious and honestly? He’s at the top of his class

has a small group of friends that he keeps in line whenever they go out drinking because he’s basically the Dad Friend™ to all of them

Steven

this poor man is dying

he went back for his doctorate and he’s regretting every single life choice he’s made

he wants to be a psychologist but does he really want that anymore, I mean seriously

he studies for so long that he totally neglects his own health

coffee and energy drinks are his best friend. He hasn’t slept in 3 weeks. Somebody save him.

Leonardo

the college freshman

he goes to college to help improve his photography and other artistic abilities 

as in helping him figure out how to set up pictures to maximum Aesthetic

he meets Mary in one of his photography classes and the two become fast friends

he feels overwhelmed by all the work and he doesn’t know what to do about it other than get more anxious AAAAHHHH

Zapp

he’s in anime club. He’s actually the guy in charge. No one knows why, because he’s never there, but he’s the captain

while we’re at it, why’s he even in college?

he shows up in some of Leo’s classes at random, none of them even remotely related to each other

he never does his work for class and yet??? he still passes them??? I mean, just barely passes them, but he passes them

nobody ever sees him in the boys’ dorms and, well…. we can all guess why Sex. He’s having sex

Zed

he’s a total Prep lmao

butts heads with Zapp all the time as well, just because of how lazy he is – it infuriates Zed to no end

Zed’s there to become a lawyer of sorts

he’s really good at keeping up in his classes and really good at managing his stress (which is honestly so???? Strange??? To everyone else????)

a lot of people come to him for advice in how to survive college because he’s so calm about everything

Chain

she’s a grumpy college junior and she just wants to be done with everything

she goes to so many frat parties and freaking demolishes everyone at drinking games, like seriously

she’s studying to become a detective and honestly. Honestly…

she’s so tired of everything and she’s been traveling around in a haze for the past 2 years

Chain!!!! Hates!!!!! The fact that Zapp is in one of her classes!!!!!! they fight nonstop to the annoyance to the rest of the class

K.K.

she’s studying something related to criminal justice, but she’s getting so tired of her classes that she can’t quite remember… exactly……

she’s a mom and yet she’s still trying to get her doctorate

sometimes her mom instincts kick in around her other classmates

“I don’t think you’re about to drink that. You’re going to kill yourself” she says as she pries a cup full of coffee and an energy drink

then she proceeds to drink it herself because she hasn’t slept in a long, long time

somehow???? she maintains all of her grades perfectly????? while keeping up a social life??? can’t relate 

Black

he doesn’t know what he’s going to major in at all

he’s kinda just in college so he doesn’t have to deal with pressure from his parents to join LHOS right away

he takes art classes without expecting much from himself and he also takes creative writing because that’s something he really wants to do and he’s not going to deal with classes he hates just yet

plus some psychology courses to help him out in LHOS (hopefully)

he honestly just went to the same college Mary did to go along for the ride, since he’s already technically got a job lined up

Despair

his soul left his body fifteen years ago and school has just been a hollow haze for the past years

college is meaningless, so why is he even still trying

(gets lowkey anxiety, that’s why, RIP)

his study sessions are kinda pointless but, whatever, he retains everything that he needs to

he cuts himself off from all 3 of his friends because he doesn’t care/have the energy to communicate with them RIP

[thisnestisempty]

Libra boys + despair reaction to their s/o misteriusly being turned into a child for a day .

:0

Klaus

?????????????? um.

he has to take a couple moments to process the fact that this kid is.. his s/o

he’s nervous that, now that his s/o is a child, they’re going to be scared of his appearance

it’s honestly a relief when, even though they’re a little kid now, they happily spend time with him (which is even better now that he can take care of them until they turn back)

he can’t help but think that his s/o was adorable even back when they were a kid lmao

Steven

he definitely goes into shock for a little bit when he sees his s/o as a child at first

it’s really hard for him to look at child!s/o and connect them to the same s/o he knows and loves

it gives him a little bit of a headache, honestly

he stops trying to connect s/o with this child!s/o because it just makes things a lot less complicated

he just hopes that whatever happened to s/o wears off soon because he misses his s/o

Leonardo

he is!!! so confused!!!

and honestly, a little nervous about everything 

he nervously goes up to his child!s/o and reintroduces himself, trying not to think too much about the situation

he’s basically a babysitter for the rest of the day, with fraying patience

almost hits Zapp when Zapp starts teasing child!s/o because?? Was that really necessary??

Zapp

What the hell. What the hell. What the heckin devil

he’s just . in shock. He’s in shock. Doesn’t know what the heck-

needs to take a moment to accept this fact, because ahh… you know, it’s really strange to think about the kid in front of you as the same person you’re in a relationship with

he’s unsure of what to do for the rest of the day though because, let’s be real, he’s not too great around kids

but he also feels obligated to make sure child!s/o is okay, so.. coloring books it is

Zed

makes a strangled noise in the back of his throat when he sees his s/o

just barely tries to keep himself from having total breakdown

instead takes a moment to calm down before he sits down next to child!s/o and begins talking to them

he’s pleasantly surprised by his child!s/o’s excitement when they lightly touch little claws on his hands

he’s gotta admit that, despite everything, his s/o’s pretty cute as a kid…

Despair

it takes a lot to throw Despair off-kilter, but this definitely does it

outwardly, sure, it looks like he’s pretty chill and taking it in stride, but on the inside he’s silently screaming

he doesn’t know how to deal with children!!! he doesn’t know what to do with the child version of his s/o!!!! um???!?!?!?!

he sooo doesn’t want to deal with all of this confusion right now, AAAAAHHHHH

almost jumps out of his skin when child!s/o slips their little hand into his and starts chattering to him when will they turn back to their normal age- 

[thisnestisempty]

Any hc on libra + despair + the Macbeth twins sleeping habits?

SOBS

Klaus

he doesn’t like… ever move in his sleep. At all.

it’s vaguely creepy tbh

he reaches out to his s/o a lot in his sleep and hugs them to him because he desires cuddles….. 

s/o is like a teddy bear to him sometimes lmao - but BETTER

he doesn’t need a blanket at night tbh because he just generates heat, like some sort of heater (which is nice for s/o on a cold night)

Steven

SLEEP, WHO NEEDS SLEEP

seriously, he goes days with less than 2 hours of sleep before crashing and passing out

sleeps face-first in the pillow and one has to wonder how he hasn’t suffocated sleeping like that…. how

sometimes mutters gibberish in his sleep that sounds like he’s awake and lucid at first before becoming just plain strange

Steven’s sleeping has little to no dreams… it’s all a black, empty slate

Leonardo

he curls up into a fetal position whenever he sleeps 

which is mainly because he’s trying to maintain his body heat… his blanket is so thin….

makes strange humming sounds in his sleep, sounding vaguely like a cat

he automatically moves closer to his s/o’s heat in his sleep

eventually just ends up spooning whatever closest to him in his sleep (his s/o, his pillow, his really really crappy blanket..)

Zapp

he splays out all over the bed

it’s really obnoxious tbfh and his s/o is S U F F E R I N G

he snores too, but like… softly, so it’s not as bad as it could be

sometimes he chokes on his spit while he’s asleep ;-;

he sleeps in a lot and is often late to his work because of it (s/o teases him and calls him lazy a lot)

Zed

he doesn’t sleep as often as he could honestly

he feels a little bit guilty about how little he sleeps sometimes because it’s typically reflected in his performance

lays on his back and stares at the ceiling until he falls asleep with his s/o

like Klaus, he rarely moves in his sleep because he somehow managed to train himself not to (it got a little bothersome)

lightly brushes his fingers over his s/o’s shoulder (b/c he pulls them into a one-armed cuddle before going to sleep) even when he’s asleep

Chain

it truly depends on how tired she is

like if she’s just tired from work, she crashes face-first onto the bed and is out in a millisecond

other times, if she’s feeling a little more melancholic (u know, when you just have one of those days), she takes special care of herself before curling up in her bed

sometimes, if she’s sleeping w/ her s/o, she buries her nose in the crook of their neck

hums lightly whenever her s/o gathers her in their arms because ahhh, that’s nice… and she’s dead asleep again

K.K.

ridiculously gorgeous when she’s asleep, like really

she’s so?? peaceful??? whenever she sleeps???

which may or may not be because she has a pistol under her pillow

but, despite how pretty she is, she s n o r e s 

it’s loud and kinda gross sounding RIP s/o, I’m so sorry

Despair

can he even sleep-

well, even if he can, he probably doesn’t sleep much in general

just sorta enters a kind of trance whenever he starts resting

absentmindedly plays with his s/o’s hair whenever he’s just staring at the ceiling because it helps him relax a little bit more, bringing him closer to sleep :)

he breathes very very quietly and slowly and it’s… strange for s/o to watch because sometimes he doesn’t even look like he’s alive

Mary

sometimes she doesn’t even freaking breathe when she sleeps

it’s really bad and it distresses her s/o so much RIP

but otherwise, she’s really cuddly in her sleep

she latches onto her s/o and holds on all night because it helps her feel better

she is Not a huge morning person tbh… latches on even more to her s/o RIP

Will

nightmares…. so many nightmares…

like yikes, he rarely sleeps… save this boy

if he has nightmares while he’s with his s/o, he just takes to studying their sleeping face until he feels calm enough to fall back asleep

keeps close to his s/o and he actually heats them up because he is another human heater

he is also Not a morning person, but if his s/o leaves the safety of the blanket, he’ll give a hiss and steal the blankets once again

[thisnestisempty]

can i please have some femt, aligura, and despair headcanons with their s/o??

!! love me my villains aaaah

Femt

I know I’ve said this already, but he has very interesting date ideas… so many…. 

he actually lowkey does recon missions on his s/o so he knows exactly what will make them happy ;-;

likes to make sure that s/o is very comfortable and happy - like, never before did he think that he’d care about another person like this, but s/o takes precedence over basically everything else 

sometimes…. some nights…. he slow dances with his s/o under the moonlight…. 

he gives full-body hugs and twirls his s/o around too ^^

Aligura

she gives her s/o literally every kiss that she can and she gets so bubbly inside whenever her s/o randomly gives her a kiss

tries her hardest to make her s/o happy and gets all happy when s/o smiles her way

also makes her s/o treats and bounces on the balls of her feet excitedly when s/o eats the treats. Cue happy squealing when s/o likes it

presses close to her s/o’s side or flits around them happily - there is no in between

she plans a lot of romantic things throughout the day ^^

Despair

even though he doesn’t say anything, he’s thinking about his s/o throughout the entire day

like, seriously, he can’t ever wait to get back to them – there’s just something about their presence

loves to talk to s/o late into the night, loves studying s/o, loves their pretty face ;-;…. he can’t ever admit this though /coughs/

he’s pretty bad at expressing his affections tbh, so he tries to think of how he could possibly do something that isn’t too over the top but is clear, but… he always ends up overthinking things 😂 poor Despair

sometimes, in a rare moment of impulsivity, Despair lightly runs his fingers over his s/o’s face and marvels at how wonderful they are

Y E S

Klaus

Klaus is befuddled when his s/o brings him a cup of tea at first

but he’s also not arguing because it’s nice

he feels so warm and happy inside as his s/o comes around with food after a while and when they refill his tea

then they take his hand and try to pull him to the bed, telling him that he needs to rest

Klaus is…,.. so thankful that his s/o is reminding him of things he needs to do and he’s so in love with the fact that his s/o gives him affection…. he’s so soft fiowhsadoifjasdoifj

Steven

“i don’t need to be taken care of-” “SHAME, YOU SIT DOWN STARPHASE”

s/o makes Steven get some damn rest for once, first of all

Steven’s just confused and slightly dazed as s/o flutters around him, taking care of him and getting him food and water

also they draped a blanket over him?? When??

Steven isn’t arguing though, and he just leans his forehead against his s/o’s shoulder whenever they stop long enough – he’s so thankful tbh

Leonardo

he is,,,, sobbing..,,,

like he absolutely melts as his s/o begins to take care of him 

he??? really??? needed it????

the warm drinks, the hugs, the kisses, the food, the cuddling……….. all Good and it makes him want to cry ;-;

he’s happy and blushing and he feels so good and at ease…. esp after the hell that is HL

Zapp

he’s complaining loudly as his s/o takes care of him at first

his p r i d e

but he shuts up after a little bit because it’s, uh.. nice.. very nice..

he doesn’t want to admit it to anybody, but he was having a bad day before his s/o started taking care of him

traps his s/o in a hug when they come over with a blanket and takes them down with him as he commences the Cuddling

Zed

he really doesn’t like how s/o does everything for him…. please, let him help-

it’s nice!!! yes!!! but he wants to take care of his s/o instead of them taking care of him

s/o forces him to Relax whenever he’s like ‘do you need help? what can i do?’

Zed does, but like.. reluctantly

only calms down when his s/o finally rests as well and pulls them into a hug

Chain

she is.. so into it… so into it..

she’s really so freaking happy and warm and fuzzy inside as her s/o takes care of her

likes to take her s/o’s hand whenever they start to get close and lightly kisses it hhhhh

she??? is melting??? esp whenever her s/o brushes out her hair??? hmmmmmMMMM

curls up in a blanket and passes out with a very contented smile on her face because!! she loves!! her s/o!!!

K.K.

her s/o needs to get her to slow down for long enough to finally take care of her lmao

her mom instincts make her want to help her s/o at first tbh

but then she sinks down into a state of relief at finally being taken care of

she doesn’t want her s/o to do a lot for her, however

she just wants cuddles…. please…..

Despair

what

he does not compute… why is his s/o taking care of him, what

it’s strange for him to have his s/o wrap a blanket around him and hand him a steaming mug

he just lets them do it as he gives literally everything they hand him a weird look

he only drinks the hot chocolate his s/o gives him and that’s purely because they give him a significant look RIP

Mary

faisdufhaisdofuhasdfiouhsadioufhasdfiouashfeiu NICE

she drinks up literally every single bit of care her s/o is giving her

she loves every single second, esp when her s/o starts brushing out her hair

like…. hmmm, s/o playing/touching her hair in any capacity feels nice and she likes it :)

even after her s/o leaves her again, Mary curls up in her bed and grins as she revels in the feeling of her s/o taking care of her

Will

Will is so SOFT

he definitely starts tearing up a little bit when his s/o takes care of him

like, thank GOODNESS, he definitely needed it ;-;

gives happy little noises of gratefulness as he leans his head against his s/o’s arm

HELL, he’s so WEAK for it, but he still feels a little guilty that his s/o took time out of their day to take care of him…. he overthinks it later and is determined to try and make it up to his s/o

[thisnestisempty]

Oh! I have one! headcanons on Klaus, Leo, Steven, Zed, black and Despair with a s/o who can temporarily (either lasts a few hours or a day if they're lucky) copy a person's ability just by touching them? of course, they can only use one ability until time runs out. please and thank you! I always feel happy when I read your writing!

((AAAAHHH, tysm!!!!! I’m glad you like my writing ;-;))

Klaus

it’s a nice talent to have in battle and, rather honestly, he likes to see how his s/o uses their ability

he’s actually helped train his s/o to use his ability as well, in case s/o needs to use it

but he can’t help but worry that one day s/o will use somebody’s power that ends up hurting them

he has to be creative with his fighting style too

because, you know… his s/o’s ‘powers’ change constantly and he has to adapt to them in the best ways

Leo

Leo has always been a little nervous about his s/o copying his ability

like, sure, it’s handy when there’s like two blood breeds in battle – Leo can allow s/o to copy his ability

but ahhhh, he always feels so bad when they are in pain from seeing so much at once

whoa, what if his eyes can see certain powers that he knows will work out the best with s/o’s abilities?? Like, it’ll match up best with their personality?

he is always in awe of how seemingly easy it is for s/o to move from power to power through the days :0

Steven

Steven is remarkably good at fighting with his s/o, regardless of what powers they’ve copied

he’s really flexible with his fighting style, actually, and he’s good at communication with s/o as they fight together

oof, Steven also had a bit of a journey trying to help s/o become accustomed to his own powers (you know, for those ‘in case’ fights where s/o can’t copy others’ powers)

let’s just say that both of them were surrounded by a Lot of ice and there was a lot of slipping and falling you’d think Steven was better at keeping his balance RIP

he panics whenever s/o’s powers that they had copied an hour before is suddenly very unsuited for a new enemy, uh-oh

Zed

his respect for his s/o increases so much when he finds out the discipline they have to maintain so many different powers

like?? That must be confusing to learn how to use someone else’s powers – especially when they’re only going to use it for a couple hours

sometimes he and s/o try and keep tabs on how long certain powers last s/o

Zed’s memory is remarkable – he’ll remember the exact time s/o copied somebody’s powers and he’ll know exactly when the powers fade out

apparently, s/o can maintain his powers for the longest and, for some reason, that makes him lowkey happy

Black

he thinks it’s so freaking cool tbfh…. it’s very interesting to him and he almost wants to study his s/o’s abilities

he gets really excited to see what new powers his s/o had gathered over the day

but he also worries that the powers will hurt s/o in some way – like, does it hurt when they wear off? Do they hurt when s/o uses them? 

he’s always asking questions about their ability lmao

he also winces slightly whenever s/o copies his powers and they suddenly break something because ‘wow, your powers are based more on emotions, huh, Will?’ ‘I am so sorry’

Despair

is it bad that he first thinks of how many ways he’ll be able to use that ability to his advantage-

well, it comes in handy in multiple cases, anyways

he doesn’t like it when s/o accidentally copies his powers though, because there’s a Lot going on and there’s a lot of power… 

he doesn’t want them to suddenly be overwhelmed by his powers, because that can hurt them sometimes ;-;

but he’s also like the ‘devil’ on his s/o’s shoulder, looking at someone and suggesting ‘you should copy their powers, see what they can do’ with a small smirk

This goes to the people who are thinking how much influence they have, don’t worry, you’re not the only one.

Kekkai Sensen or Blood blockade battlefront, Season 1, Episode 9.

I don’t know why, but there are times when I close my eyes and still see their world, perhaps it’s because it’s a lot closer to ours than we think.

[thisnestisempty]

I assume Despair would forget to not lose the glasses though like after losing 5 pairs in a week poor will just buys them in bulk. He now has a pair in his back pocket 2 extra in a backpack etc. Centuries old entity ruins local boy’s day in more ways than one.

what an absolute jerk alsdkfjsldkfj

‘glasses are not cheap!’ will yells helplessly. 

despair, already throwing them off into the street: ‘huh?’

okay, but a moment for you to consider that when will regains control, despair’s somehow broken all of his backup glasses, so will has to try and get home with extremely blurry eyesight.
