idk what’s gotten into me lately. but robb stark & theon greyjoys relationship is genuinely just everything to me. it builds me up and breaks me down in every way shape and form.
the very depiction of brotherhood. growing up side by side, & the show really does their relationship justice.
“It’s your duty to represent your house when your father can’t.”
i always see them in the small scenes. like when robb made the joke about jon never liking a girl better than his own hair, it was theon he turned to first to share laughter. when lord glover (or wtv his name is) started to pull out his sword it was theon who jumped up first, knife out.
& when they find out about his betrayal. when catelyn says “i told you never to trust a greyjoy!”, & robb is just utterly defeated. it’s like you can hear what he doesn’t say out loud.
“i wasn’t trusting a greyjoy, i was trusting theon.”
robb, lord of winterfell, the head of a war he doesn’t want to be in, not having anyone he can trust. catelyn, freeing his biggest advantage in the war behind his back. theon, capturing the home they both grew up in, in the name of a man who sat on his ass at the iron islands while ned stark raised him as his own.
& i know jon tells theon he’s angry because he betrayed ned’s memory. he did, & i’m glad he said it, but nobody ever told him how much he betrayed robb’s memory. he allowed robb to die thinking he burnt winterfell with bran & rickon inside of it.
and because theon took winterfell, robb is called the king who lost the north. it caused robb’s men to lose faith in him, & it set the red wedding up perfectly.
& honestly, it just hurts my heart. so so so bad. i have an ache in my chest whenever i think about it. & i can’t even watch the episode where theon took winterfell. bran & theon in that scene killed me.
“theon. did you hate us the whole time?”
and just like that my face is on the news.

Midnight Snack
You catch Shuji's eye in the library at uni and he absolutely must take you out.
Just some shuji fluff for the dash. He's a little weird here sorry lmao. Reader is grumpy and tired. Unproofread.
Shuji can't get enough of you. He has a nasty (though endearing) habit of staring.
It's actually how you met.
In the library at uni, trying to get away from noisy roommates and distractions, you sat yourself in a gloomy corner, eyes hazy and unfocused on the article you were "reading."
Until movement caught your eye.
You don't see him at first, the playful fuck. He ducks behind a DiffyQ textbook that, looking back, definitely isn't his. You pay no mind. Whatever. Let the motherfucker stare, you've got shit due tonight. It's not like you're unaccustomed to annoying attention from men and their "you'd look so much better if you smiled" bullshit.
Fuck. You got yourself in a mood now.
Like clockwork, a tuft of grown-out bleached hair and a pair of golden eyes peeks out hoping to catch yours without detection. You snap in his directions and he ducks again. You swear to God you hear a giggle and the rustling thud of a heel knocking into a limb.
When you look, no, glare back, the decoy textbook is down and he's smiling, wide and goofy (and rubbing his shin). You raise a brow and go back to your work, fruitlessly, because he takes the acknowledgement as an invitation. Before you know it hes dragging a heavy wooden chair loudly and sitting across from you.
He's tall. He's huge, really. He's objectively rather gorgeous with a nice jawline and lively eyes that study you, like you're the only thing, even in a building full of decades and decades of knowledge, worth studying.
"Can I fucking help you?"
"i think you can."
"I've got a deadline in 2 hours, make it quick."
"Let me take you for a late night meal. A reward for finishing your....school thing." You almost want to laugh. School thing? Does he even go here? He must sense the shift in mood and it further boosts his confidence. "Come on," he lets the word wobble like a kid pushing their luck, "you're the coolest girl in this place, let me show you a good time."
You can't place it exactly, maybe it's in the wiggle of his eyebrows or the groan of secondhand embarrassment from his friend not far away, but you get a relatively innocent vibe. You turn him away with a terse, maybe and watch as he wanders back to his friend, bounce in his step and high on premature victory.
His gaze isn't as heavy for the duration of your time there. He busies himself with doodles in the margins of Kisaki's work that he thought was math, but maybe is actually Greek; Shuji doesn't care. He's got an absolute beauty on his mind.
He's enraptured by her. Her focused scowl and the way her eyes narrow at the screen. The way her lips purse around the straw of what once was probably iced coffee. The art in her skin that he can see until the aircon kicks on and she puts another layer back on. Shuji is reminded in that moment that he hates the cold so, so much, and even more now that it's stolen away a part of the art he'd been admiring.
He huffs and loses himself if scribbling whatever comes to mind to kill time. He misses you packing your things quietly, work completed just before the deadline and he jumps to cover his scribbles when you clear your throat.
"I'm hungry."
"Hi hungry, I'm Hanma."
You groan, "Actually I'm leaving."
"Come on it was funny!"
"Are you twelve?"
You bicker with the cute giant the whole way out of the library with a smile tugging at your lips. You'd seen the scribbles, he wasn't slick.
Variations of, "God she's kind of insanely pretty. No seriously she's so pretty" up and down the margins. This guy was kind of embarrassing, silly, a wildcard, and well, those are the best people to eat fast food with at 11:59 pm.
It's the first of many midnight snacks.
Yeah that's right bitch this one's for you @sin-and-punishment shuji is down bad for you and I will not be told otherwise.

Shizaya Week 2023
Day 8 Free Day Part 3/8
Izaya: "I would like to direct you to our medical supplies. Due to Shizuo constantly fighting we have to have a lot. Plus I have many enemies and I can't stop my parkuor!"
Izaya: "Wait, Celty why are you in my bathtub?"
Celty: "It's the quietest place I can find. WAS, I mean. Also aren't you the one sending gangs after Shizuo and that's why he keeps fighting?"
Izaya: "What do you know?"
Celty: "I know this bathtub was actually a soap holder..."
Izaya: "ANYWAY! These are our tools we use to fix things. We need to do a lot of repairs due to someone's anger issues."
Shizuo: "Shut up!"
Shizuo: "This is where I do my hair and brush my teeth."
Izaya: "You actually TRY to make it look like a rats nest?"
Shizuo: "AND THIS IS WHERE OUR DIRTY LAUNDRY GOES!"
Izaya: "Hey you monster! Get me out of here!"
Celty: "Still better than listening to Shinra."
That bathtub really was part of a soap set I found at a flea market. It's the perfect size for them and just looked great with the room.
I am madly in love with my wall lobster. I love lobsters ;>
That medical supply cart is from Calico Critters. They had a whole set. While most of their stuff is too small for my house, the food items and accessories usually work great.
The tiny tooth brushes melt my heart.
Next is bedroom! Kay byyyyyyye!!
