I don't understand why so many people equate a single aspect of a character's personality to their sexual preferences. like pointing to Kim's apparent enjoyment of violence and being like obviously he's a violent dom top.
it feels like toxic masculinity and disturbing stereotyping to say a character who has violent tendencies can't possibly be gentle in romantic and sexual relationships, or someone who has a lot of anger can't possibly bottom or submit to the person they love.
because Kim can kill people means he would want to aggressively dom Chay and would never want to give Chay any power in their sexual relationship? it doesn't make sense to me and it honestly feels like an insult to Kim's character. I don't have a problem with Kim domming or topping. i have a problem with people making that his whole personality when it's Not. the biggest move he makes on Chay is a very innocent cheek kiss, when he absolutely could have done more. to say that the violence he commits to protect Chay= violent sexual dominance is weird!
to say that because he is ambitious & hardened & willing to threaten & kill people who endanger his loved ones, he could never willingly submit to someone - what kind of claim is that? doesn't that make it all the more impactful when he Does submit?
claiming so confidently (and rudely) that there's nothing submissive about him, and that it's out of character to write him as anything but an aggressive and violent dom top really does feel so narrow-minded and insulting. his actions in canon are very much open to interpretation.
the club scene, he momentarily loses control of his emotions: he finds out chay skipped his audition, is at a club, and is being offered drugs. he freaks out and drags chay away, but when chay stands up to him he stands down. he leaves. he doesn't continue to force chay. we can interpret this interaction either as a momentarily loss of control, or as proof that he's capable of force, but again, neither option is explicitly confirmed by canon.
the song, it's implied that he started writing it while he and chay were still together, rather than a post-breakup manipulation tactic. we see him alone in his apartment writing a song while thinking about chay's love song and smiling. it was a love song, written in response to chay's love song, but they broke up before kim finished it.
kim is absolutely capable of violence and force. boundaries are a little blurry for him, especially when he's trying to accomplish something. he looks into chay's phone, breaks into his room, bypasses his being blocked by messaging from a different number. chay also walks right over kim's boundaries. he insists that kim stays to listen to his song (repeatedly), get's kim's address from his friend and shows up at his place, etc. they are pretty well matched in that sense – their concept of boundaries and attachment are both unhealthy.
there is really nothing in canon that dictates whatever romantic or sexual dynamics they will have. i'm frustrated when people act like there are. the image someone presents in public has nothing to do with their sexual preferences.
it feels like a projection of misogyny & toxic masculinity & honest to God homophobia to say that because Chay is sunny & soft, he can only ever be a submissive bottom, & bc Kim is cold & raised to be violent, he can only ever be a violent, dominant top.
again, as a disclaimer, i'm not opposed to domtop kim. i think it's an entirely valid portrayal of him! i support those who write those dynamics! but it's not canon, because there is no canon sexual dynamic for kimchay. sub bottom kim isn't canon either! because there is no canon sexual dynamic for kimchay.
we almost never see kim with his defenses down. he's always on guard and putting on a brave face, except for just a few scenes, like when he's alone writing music and finding chay's polaroid.
i think it's important to recognize the fact that sexual dynamics cannot be predicted by looking at how someone looks and acts in public, and that no interpretations are confirmed by canon and all interpretations are therefore equally valid

ive mentioned this before but I think its funny how people use the word "carny" in pro-wrestling to mostly refer to like, huckster mentality promoters and "any publicity is good publicity" mentality bc like yeah that was absolutely part of actual carnival wrestling but what i think is interesting is how carny wrestling was this weird thing where yeah sometimes they would borrow people from the freak show and have a 500 pound man wrestling 4 little people alongside what was basically shoot fights and arguably something that should be mentioned in the history of combat sports
Bc the big way carnies made money through pro-wrestling matches was by enticing onlookers into entering a "beat the champ" challenge where they had to put up money to enter. This was basically a scam similar to pool hustling where the trick is that the mark (in both senses) is misled into thinking they'll be able to win the wager against someone that has been hiding their skill at the contest. Except instead of pool you had the carnie champ just barely beat planted challengers while they or the barker would goad attendees into stepping up and in particular you wanna focus on guy's that had a couple drinks and brought a date with them. At this point the pro-wrestler will then reveal their hidden powers and smash him because a trained fighter will almost always beat an untrained dude that just thinks he's tough and they had tactics that were geared against random civilians like yeah some guy off the street may be really strong but without training theyre gonna run out of breath pretty quickly.
But at the same time you could still get someone who was a legit high school or collegiate champion who happens to attend the carnival. Or sometimes the carnival happens to set up in an area where folk wrestling is an ingrained part of the local culture and a lot of people know how to fight making the contests a lot more real. Which was pretty important bc the way a carny wrestler was paid was they get a cut of the money people paid for the wrestling show but if they lost a fight that money will be used to pay the victorious civilian meaning that if you lost just one fight in a day you didnt get paid for all the work you did. And while the ref was in on it the fact that the scam factor is being heavily upped compared to normal promotion wrestling makes kayfabe much more important bc you dont want all the other losers to start demanding their money back so if a civilian pinned you while the ref is watching they have no choice but to count. But you could do stuff like concealing a nut shot or a bite as long as you legitimately hid it well enough from the crowd. Which meant that pro-wrestlers that cut their teeth on the old carny circuts like Harley Race developed a reputation for being pretty legitimate shooters but not like the way amateur wrestling champs were but in a street fighting type of sense because resorting to 'dirty tactics' like striking the nuts, eyes or throat or biting was an inherit part of how you made a living.
but yeah i just think its funny how carny wrestling was arguably the most "real" type of pro-wrestling but in a very unsportslike way

could you explain to me bakugou and todorokis friendship bc I don't really understand it.
I imagine bakugou would remind shoto of endeavor which would stear him away. Especially bc at the start it wasn't just talk specifically with deku. And I feel like todoroki of all people would recognize bakugou as a bully . Not to mention what bakugou said to todoroki before the sports festival (and while yes I know deku said the same thing, it pissed todoroki off and todoroki only responded positively when deku said something affirming).
And from bakugous side, todoroki made him insecure bc from bakugous perspective he was effortlessly better than him in every way and we saw with bakugous apology to deku that this feeling never went away. Bakugi was always challenging deku and todoroki only while he was "normal" to the rest of the class b deku and todoroki were the only ones that made him feel threatened. And then when bakugou started changing (the same time endevour did) he realised just how simlliar he is to endeavor and that's who he will become if he doesn't change his mindset. And sharing similaraties to todorokis abuser I can imagine would deter him from that friendship even more as it would enhance his quilt.
Now I will admit I don't understand bakugous character as well as other which is why I maybe struggling to understand this friendship.
You are actually explaining quite well their starting points. Out of everyone in the class, they are definitely not friends at first (well, neither of them have friends at the start and neither of them think they want friends - fools). As they both grow and change, their perspective changes too and it's a bit of a slow burn, but I'd say they are already more or less friends by the end of the remedial classes / start of the Endeavor internship (though Bakugou still furiously denies it), and they are definitely good friends by post-PLF War, when Izuku leaves UA.
Tumblr media
As you say, initially Todoroki is someone who shakes Bakugou's confidence and increases his insecurities further by focusing on Izuku rather than him as "rival". While Shouto barely acknowledges Bakugou's existence. Even after Shouto beat Deku, he keeps thinking about him, because he challenged him at the core of his ideals, while Bakugou is unable to reach that part of Shouto yet.
So the SF final happens the way it does - a failure for both of them in a way. Bakugou walks away thinking that Todoroki looks down on him and is angry about it, while Shouto senses that he hurt Bakugou, but he doesn't really know what to do about it.
Things slowly start to change in the Forest arc, with Shouto's clumsy attempts to interact with Bakugou, then them being paired in the fight against Moonfish which gives them more insight into each other. And Shouto being a co-instigator of the Bakugou rescue, their move in the dorm, and quickly they are at the licensing exam which they both fail.
Tumblr media
Then the remedial classes start - and while we only saw a single class, this is something they did every week for months, just the two of them, going to that class, having to go through the humiliation together. It's a forced proximity where they first annoy each other, but they also give each other a safe way to work on themselves and on the difficult relationships they need to fix for their own growth.
Bakugou has quite a few similarities with Endeavor, but there are also big differences: there is no power imbalance between them and Bakugou never abused Shouto. In fact, Bakugou's attitude is completely wasted on Shouto - he's never intimated of him. But observing Bakugou, seeing his strong points - like his great battle tactics, perseverance, quirk mastery, ambition - gives Shouto a chance to observe these characteristics his father also has, and disentangle them from it belonging to Endeavor, to seeing their value and seeing them as tools he could use for himself without becoming his father.
On the other side, Bakugou gets to interact with Todoroki, who has a lot of similarities to Izuku. Underneath his blunt demeanour, Shouto is also ridiculously kind to the people who hurt him and most importantly, he's an abuse victim too. He can be both at the same time - insanely strong, someone Bakugou sees as equal, and also someone who is a victim of abuse. And because Bakugou didn't hurt Shouto, interacting with him, trying out his little steps in empathy is not layered with guilt like his complicated interactions with Deku.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
With distance, it's easier to navigate Shouto's mess, but watching the Todoroki family also provides a perspective on his own - a warning in the shape of Endeavor of what he doesn't want to be.
Tumblr media
I think from Shouto's side, it's clear that he's been considering Bakugou as his friend for a long time by the end of the remedial arc. Bakugou is a tsundere (so his characterization includes being uncomfortable with squishy feelings like friendships, and is always hiding his motives and intentions). But it doesn't fool Shouto much, because he's someone who primarily looks at actions not words.
But in any case, after the war, Bakugou drops a lot of his attitude and becomes more authentic about his feelings, including more openly friends with Shouto.
Tumblr media
I think choosing to support him on their last night before the final war, making him laugh on what may easily be the last night of their lives is a meaningful proof of the long way they have come together .
It's a friendship that the story spent a lot of time with (compared to a lot of the other, easier bonds where characters sort of become friends somewhere in the background and then are just hanging out), working out their relationship from the rocky start, being there as partners and witnesses through some of the biggest lows of each other's lives, getting their licenses together, experiencing milestones and emotional moments together, seeing each other grow and change and stumble through fixing the relationships they struggle with.
I think for us, in the tdbk/bktd part of the fandom, this difficult journey, the ways they fit and the ways they are different is all part of the draw of this dynamic. Also, they are also just truly funny together. There is a hilarious energy of their odd duo and I guess it's something either you are into or not.
Some people prefer sweet / soft friendships, while Todoroki and Bakugou are definitely a cat and dog kind of friendship (even by HK's own illustrations) with its own particular vibe and energy.

people being mad at aemond for calling alicent a fool or at aegon for yelling at her confuse me
just as a reminder: alicent raised her children in fear of rhaenyra, she told them that rhaenyra would kill them at the drop of a hat just to sit on a chair, all this whilst rhaenyra still lived in their home and viserys was getting sicker and sicker.
alicent made her kids live in constant fear for their lives knowing that there was a chance their dad would die in the middle of the night and they would be woken up by someone coming to get them cus rhaenyra took the throne and now they had to die.
this fear is what lead aegon to take a throne he did not want which then started a war, said war lead aemond to stormsend where he killed luke, which then lead to jaehaerys’ death.
there is a leaked video from the set of s2 where during jaehaerys’ funeral someone is telling the crowd that this is the work of rhaenyra the cruel. so they’re either fully going to pin b&c on rhaenyra instead of daemon, or they might just assume it was her.
so im sorry but if after all that alicent is still pleading for aegon to have mercy on rhaenyra, and apparently giving aemond reason to believe she still holds any love for her (the person who called for him to be “sharply questioned” whilst he was missing half his face, and who he was raised to believe would kill him to sit on a bunch of melted swords), then yes, im sorry but he has valid reason to call her a fool.
like just think about the emotional whiplash they’re experiencing.
they went along with the whole usurpation thing bc she made them fear for their lives, only to then have to hear her beg for mercy for the person she raised them to be terrified of.
ryan condal wants rhaenicent to be canon so bad that he is willing to make both alicent and rhaenyra plain stupid.
alicent begging for rhaenyra’s life during the green council even after two whole decades of treating her like shit and genuinely believing her capable of murdering her kids, which according to sara hess was all forgotten about thanks to one decent moment over dinner (ridiculous).
and rhaenyra crying on that fucking bridge bc of a page from 20 years ago (which was a clear manipulation tactic on alicent/otto’s part and you can argue with the fucking wall about that), clinging to a friendship that died 20 YEARS AGO and ignoring everything that alicent did to her and her kids in the meantime all bc of a page?
idc wether you like rhaenicent or not, i personally did not have an issue with it AT THE START, bc i thought it could make their dynamic interesting and it did for a while.
but if they keep sticking to trying desperately to ride this dead horse and refusing to give either of them some growth i’m going to lose faith in this show.
the writers are so stuck on this narrative that bc alicent did not have any control over her own life, that automatically means that she can not even try to learn how to properly wield the power she has, we saw her do it like twice to spite rhaenyra and that’s it.
this is a woman who has every reason to be angry and to want to use this power she has, if she really did believe rhaenyra would kill her kids that would’ve been an opportunity for the show to give us some growth within her character with her truly understanding the power she holds and wielding it to protect her kids, which in my opinion is just about the most noble of causes.
but no.
no growth for alicent, she was a victim with no autonomy at the start and this is the cage they will force her in until the end.
i hope i’m wrong but who knows.
btw im sorry but i’ve seen some posts saying that if either alicent or rhaenyra abandon their family for the other then it will be fine bc “they’re finally doing something for themselves and not the men in their lives”… girl…
they both have reason to believe that the other’s actions caused the death of their kids (or grandkid in alicent’s case), i do not care that they were pals. there is no version of this universe where it would make any actual sense for either of them to just “forget” everything that has happened just to have a fairytale ending to a friendship that has been dead for decades.
but whatever ig
i miss you book alicent and i hope you know that

so i rewatched dad beat dad today and i have a new "theory"
i think it's safe to say that alastor gets pissed off by lucifer (hate might be too much of a strong word) but why is that? I've seen some people theorize that has something to do with (if we assume correctly) lilith being the one who has him on a leash, but i actually thought... maybe he has that reaction because lucifer, or his relationship with charlie (or both) reminds him of his own dad
like we know that alastor notoriously gets along better with women rather then men, and viv said he is a momma's boy. she also said in a recent q&a with the cast that he gets pissed off by lucifer bc he's more powerful than him and that kinda makes sense but..... i wanna read more into it so I'm ignoring her saying
when lucifer gets to the hotel he immediately aggressively hugs charlie and alastor's eye twitches a little bit, i can't help but think that maybe it reminded him of being in charlie's place one day, having a relationship with a stranged father (to say the least). maybe he puts that frustrating feeling together with the fact that not only this is charlie's father, but also LUCIFER, king of hell, most powerful creature in all the realm. he could end alastor's ass with a snap of his fingers if he truly wanted but luckily for him, he is mostly chill just like charlie
so, alastor finds himself in a too familiar position that he doesn't like: having to be "inferior" to a man who is a father and a higher authority in one way or another. when lucifer asks about the bar they get into a bit of banter which ends by alastor literally saying "fuck you" to lucifer and charlie stepping in. which surprised a lot of fans for a good reason, 'cus so far we've only seen alastor as he presents himself mostly: a well-mannered gentleman. but it was so easy for lucifer to get under his skin in so little time, that perhaps he got taken over by anger - not a "I'm gonna slaughter everyone" anger, but a human anger of "I'm in a shit position and I can't do anything about it but I'm really angry about it". so that's why he just outright says fuck you to lucifer, it's not a "I don't care if you're the king of hell I'm not afraid of you fuck you", it's a "i know the type of father you are (because i had one similar) and it's a shit behavior so fuck you"
but lucifer doesn't get shaken by it, he pretty much has no reaction to it and that keeps alastor angry. he realizes that charlie and lucifer have a distant and complicated relationship, so he tries a different tactic: hey btw I'm closer to a father figure to your daughter then you actually are, and THAT gets under lucy's skin. when he gets into song, alastor just takes the opportunities to hijack it and keep pissing him off
there's also something else, that when lucy and charlie sings more then anything, everyone at the hotel is looking at them, including alastor and he looks... satisfied, to say the least. maybe not happy, but he definitely isn't angry or frustrated by the situation of charlie and lucifer making up. dare i say he almost looks proud, as in "yep my job here is done"
maybe he just wanted to piss lucifer off bc it reminded him of his own father, but he accidentally made him and charlie get on better terms and making up, and he's not entirely bothered by it. he accidentally made a good thing, but either he (1) doesn't realize it at the moment or (2) he just doesn't see it that way (maybe he thinks that lucy and charlie won't be in good terms for long or whatever)
and as of later in the episode, even in the series there isn't a lot more of this alastor and lucifer's relationship. in the last episode, when alastor shows up lastly to the group hug, we see two characters annoyed by his presence: husk and lucifer. so i think that alastor pulling the "I'm more of a father figure to charlie then you will ever be" card REALLY affected lucifer, he just isn't showing it off. yet at least.
the bit in the finale before the final fight, alastor says to niffty that "maybe he could get used to other's presence", or he gets entertained by it, something among these lines. i think maybe this is the first time that he verbally, consciously admits that maybe he likes the people in the hotel, but that little moment - at the beginning of more than anything, where he watches lucifer and charlie singing, that was actually the first time that he cared about someone in the hotel, it's just that neither him or anyone else realized it.
tl; dr: alastor "hates" lucifer bc it reminds him of his own dad and while trying to piss lucifer off he accidentally makes him and charlie make up and he's satisfied by that outcome but he doesn't realize it

Thinking about fairy tail and I came across the realisation that Gray’s magics are basically fighting each other?
Sure they’re both ice magic but:
Maker Magic vs Slayer Magic
They’re literally polar (haha) opposites!
And if you really want to make it worse: if you head canon that after taking the memento morí curse Gray was ‘demonised’ a bit, his magic could be hurting him.
It wouldn’t be the same for the dragon slayers because they’re magic gives them the dragon attributes. They aren’t actually part dragon.
—personally, i think all slayer types have a bit of what their magic is designed to destroy in them (keep your enemies closer type shit yk?), but i also like to ignore inconvenient things in my hcs for fun—
The idea of his magic hurting him is a horrifying thought so im thanking you immensely , this ended up being more of a ramble abt Grays magics in general tbh
If i remember correctly, Silver didnt have those ‘demonized’ marks and he used to same magic (also i hc that devil slayer magic is a mix of normal magic also curses, like using the demons own abilities against them, but thats a separate topic). Going off this, it’s because he had, what, 17 years to gradually learn it? He didn’t become demonized bc he didnt have to force himself to use it immediately
I think bc Gray having to learn so fast or having to use it so intensely immediately after getting his devil slayer magic that his body simply couldnt fully handle the onslaught of demonic-esque magic that it partially overrides his humanity in a sense. Which is why we get to see that ‘demonized’ look he has.
i ALSO think the reason he doesn’t become full demonized is because how he was able to learn so fast, bc he used the molding tactics he already knew. So when Gray uses his devil slayer abilities he is also using his makers magic at the same time, which restores some semblance of his humanity. (i really hope this makes as much sense to you as it does me)
On the topic of why Grays slayer magic may harm him and not other slayers,
Its bc of what i stated before, he had to use too much power too fast. Its like when someone who isnt used to exercising tries out a vigorous one without any warm up; it can hurt and overexert body and do more harm than good.
Slayer magic is different than most other type of magic, it more about raw power than a perfect technique (in this au anyways), it takes a little of whatever they’re supposed to destroy and transfers it into them a little more every-time they overuse it
Usually, Dragon slayers are raised by actual dragons, they were taught from the ground up what to do and what to not do, how to handle that much power at once and how to use it
Gray, a devil slayer, had absolutely none of that. He knew no more than what he observed of other slayer types, but every type of, even the different subtypes, work differently. So he was going from nothing and probably thought this was just how it felt all the time.
It felt like his two magics were at a constant war inside him every-time he used them together, both fighting for control of sorts, it hurt less than it felt extremely uncomfortable
alright im done for now

Haiii! I absolutely ate up your one piece tk headcanons! Could we get some more? 👉👈
Hiiiii! Of COURSE you can have more one piece headcanons! I am so in love with this show but Netflix WON’T PUT THE NEXT SEASON ON UGH so unfortunately I am still on pre timeskip. This time around we’ll be doing the more main characters, since I did my faves last time! If you want a specific character let me know!
Tumblr media
Monkey D. Luffy:
Tumblr media
The biggest switch in the entire show
He loves tickling people and being tickled
CANONICALLY ticklish as we’ve seen
Def weak everywhere, but his worst spots are his feet and sides
Good luck catching him though, he can use his devil fruit powers to escape
VERY squirmy, but it’s just reflexes. He’s enjoying it
When tickling you he’s constantly switching the spot he’s tickling so you can never guess
He will laugh along with you
Roanoa Zoro:
Tumblr media
Hard to catch off guard
He's always on guard and can easily catch you even if he's sleeping
He’s ticklish mainly on his torso, like his sides, belly and hips
His neck and shoulders are pretty bad too
He’s pretty lazy but will not give up a chance at seeking revenge
A VICOUS ler, but will only tickle you if you tickled him first
Can tell when you’ve had enough and will just leave or go back to sleep when he’s done
Sanji:
Tumblr media
If you’re a man you’re getting kicked across the room
Don’t bother
But if you're a girl you can just tell him not to move and he will try his best not to
Has very ticklish palms, they’re soft since they’re never used in fights
Legs are easily his worst spot, inner thighs and behind the knees will make him squeal
His hands are very skilled so he will have no trouble skittering his fingers all over you
A SUPER sweet and gentle ler to girls, but vicious to men
If you’re a girl he will blush so hard while tickling you, and will apologize profusely if he feels like he went too far
But if you’re a dude he dgaf
Has wrecked Luffy more than once for stealing food
Nami:
Tumblr media
LMFAOOO GOOD LUCK 💀
Don’t bother, if you even think about it she'll set you straight
Very ticklish on her belly and underarms
But as I’ve said her worst spot is her ears
If you’re SUPER close to her she’ll take it for a little
But she will punch you when she’s had enough
Immediate revenge after she punches you off
Her fingers are quick, but she’ll stay in the same spot mostly
Not very skilled in tickling, and it ends pretty quickly since she’s just tickling you to blow off steam
Ussop:
Tumblr media
Definitely the most ticklish strawhat
Poor dudes ticklish everywhere
Claims he isn't ticklish and tells lies about it
Tried to distract you and change the subject immediately
He’ll lie even when you’re wrecking him
Surprisingly good at tickling
Has everything planned ou and knows how to get you down
While tickling you he tells you a story about how he took down a monster with this “tactic”
Backfires on him 60% of the time bc he’s distracted with the story
Koby:
Tumblr media
A SQUEALER when tickled, he gets so loud
He honestly doesn’t mind them that much, but he can’t handle rough ones
He only lets people close to him tickle him, like Helmeppo or Luffy
His worst spot is his belly, mainly his belly button
His ears are pretty bad too, he’ll scrunch up and squeak
He gets really red and cries easily, but don’t worry he’s not in pain just listen for when he tells you to stop
Like Luffy he likes tickling people, he finds their reactions fascinating
An unintentional teaser, he asks how much it tickles out of pure curiosity
Low key is more embarrassed and flustered than the actual lee

sometimes when you're brainrotting two things, the only way to cope is to smush those things together. therefore: how i think bells hells would do at Blood On The Clocktower! (or social deduction games in general.) some of this is mechanical some of it is textual some of it is Just Vibes
Orym: Not the best at lying, but very good at figuring out when someone else is. Tends to hold of on claiming for a while unless he's like a top 4. Probably follows Fearne and/or Ashton around too much, regardless of their characters/alignments. If he's ever evil with one of them he gets very excited to the point that it's almost a tell. Orym is the guy who knows exactly who everyone has been talking to, he is watching EVERYONE in his peripheral vision.
Imogen: Deception queen, nobody clocks when she's lying, but she's not the best at coming up with strategic bluffs. Initially found playing evil Very Stressful, but i think she'd come around to it. DEFINITELY talks with Laudna first every single game.
Chetney: on the fucking case. this man is a genius at this game; if he's evil, nobody can tell bc he always acts this weird, it's no different, and if he's good, he solves the game when evil least expects it. not good at lying but gets by via the power of Lying Always For Shits And Giggles (And Also Tactics)
Ashton: mister -2 to charisma cannot lie for shit. they love the game anyways, but if he's the imp he's star passing pretty much immediately (orym is going to catch him if he doesn't lmao). enjoys interrogating ppl and trying to figure out their characters. probably downplays their own usefulness to the good team but often provides big pieces of the puzzle.
Laudna: absolutely loving it. the storyteller perchance? (altho i could see orym or ash getting in on it too? I May Be Projecting.) i think laudna gets very excited to be on the evil team (maybe too obviously excited), but overall is just having a good time, solving the mystery or being the demon. yeah the more i think about it the more i think she'd really like storytelling. i mean i wore my laudna dress the first time i hosted a clocktower party the vibes are right
FCG: probably one of those people who feels bad about lying in lying games lmao. i think they'd get really into it eventually though. i don't think he'd be good at bluffing while evil, but i think he'd have a really fun time as good and get really into solving it and figuring out wtf is going on.
Fearne: Pure Chaos. you can never tell if she's evil because she is always unpredictable. will commit to the bit always. will offer you the mez word as a good player. has turned several people evil bc they thought she was joking about the mez word and she was Not. she's def not BAD at the game, she's observant and she's good at bluffing, but she is An Experience, and i say that with the most love. very fun to play with i think.
Dorian: probably a little overwhelmed by the complexity (of clocktower specifically). he is, in the words of fearne, "a very bad liar". enjoys it nonetheless, but he is not the clocktower champ by any means (again, said with so much love). still, he's a good sport about it and he's having a good time, and that's what matters! i could def see him storytelling as well. (BONUS, if he brings dariax: he follows dorian around and asks him questions about how the game works constantly. catches ppl off guard w good bluffs sometimes but only when he lucks into good strats or a teammate tells him what to bluff as.)

oh my god I got a Bowuigi fic idea
Starting off Luigi and Bowser start off enemies after the events of the movie
But this is a soulmate mark au or maybe not idk it can be whatever you want
After a crap ton of beatings and several teaming up against a greater evil also getting to know his kids and such things are in a calm for a bit
Bowser reevaluates his tactics with Peach, slowly losing feelings for her on the dl. As a last ditch effort he tries to make himself human
Princess Daisy decides in the lull of all this peace to throw a masquerade ball! Also bc this is after Luigi beats the mansion and my man is scared and v anxious after the whole ordeal and she wants him to feel better.
Kamek makes Bowser human for a day for the masquerade ball. (This is where the soulmate mark could appear since he's now a human. Luigi notices his mark finally appeared after years of grief over it.)
Looking sharp as ever, but the spell didn't get rid of the green around his eyes. So good thing the mask covers it!
Peach recognizes him immediately but doesn't say anything just because there's been peace for a while and she'd rather not trigger his hot temper
Bowser, dense as hell, starts chatting up Luigi not knowing it's him still after all these years.
They really connect and Bowser talks about his kids and fears. Luigi thinks he's someone else that came from New York especially with his unnatural thick wavy red hair.
Mario is dense too and is just like aww look at my bro being happy I'll kill him if that guy messes up tho
By the end of the night Bowser and Luigi grow closer even going off with one another. They talk well into the night and Bowser asks to see him again and how they'd meet in an abandoned tower the next week.
They meet again and Bowser renews the spells. Kamek doesn't like this bc lying bad. His kids wanna know who their papa is dating and Mario is getting concerned he'll never meet this mystery man.
Luigi long since took off his mask and with some coaxing Bowser does too and they take a bit of a break.
Bowser is heartbroken, but remains in peace with the other kingdoms. Luigi sends a note apologizing and saying to meet in the usual place.
Bowser stays as himself they reconcile and say their feelings for one another and have a long and passionate night together.
They secretly date until it comes up about Mario and everyone pretty much. Bowser gets mad and Luigi gets frustrated and when they return to one another to be like it's okay Mario followed Luigi!
Mario is pisssedddd he thinks Luigi has been brainwashed again and Bowser has been planning this all along to get private information, knowing full well Luigi is asleep for all their meetings.
They fight and destroy everything around them and Luigi leaves with Bowser because he gets tossed to the side. Mario thinks Luigi ran away from both of them
Peach takes this as treason. Sends a search party and orders he be thrown in the dungeon if found, unbeknownst to her Prince Mario.
Bowser and Luigi have a nice time healing together and being with their kids. Luigi is a good papa teaching the kids how to cook and play Fortune Street
Peach finds out about them and orders that as soon as they leave the borders they'll kidnap Luigi I mean bring him home
Mario finds out through Toad and immediately goes to rescue him
Mario is seething, fully thinking that Bowser hid his brother from him for manipulative purposes. Mario uses his fire powers to maim Bowser. He sneakily gets the upper hand and starts the battle. While Bowser has gotten much more powerful so has Mario and is close to death by the end of it.
Bowser is down and close to passing out. Luigi screams for them to stop getting pissed no one is listening this triggers him to turn into Mr. L. He uses his lightning against Mario. Mario is stunned he thought Mr. L was gone for good?
Turns out once Pandora's box is opened it never shuts. Mr. L shoots a lightning bolt by Marios head and warns him next time he won't miss. He tears down Mario asking why would he want to go back when he's loved and appreciated here. He tells him not to return.
Mario leaves and Bowser is scared. Mr. L is kind of cold to Bowser and sometimes down right mean to him and the kids. This sets off Bowser and Mr. L starts to isolate plotting his way out.
Until on Mr. Ls way out he snaps out of it after Kamek does some magic shit at Bowsers request.
Luigi apologizes and he's been out of it for 2 weeks. He leaves to apologize to his brother and Peach takes him in the dungeon and is still pissed and thinks he's Mr. L.
Mario mad and fights Peach on this and the bros reconcile.
Peach and Mario reconcile right when Bowser is PISSED and breaks Luigi out with the kids Bowser and Luigi stay together Mario and Peach eventually explain after mayhem ensues.
They work through his issues that trigger him into Mr.L and they live happily ever after

Y’all remember the time when Kagaya may have pretended to propose to Mitsuri in the literal manga??
Because. I sure did not?? But I was on yet another reread, and sure enough I discovered these panels. I could be completely wrong and this is just a random dude, but I would be shocked if this was not him after hinting at it so much!!
-Panel A explains that when Mitsuri was at her lowest, desperate to find a place where she could embrace herself and her true strength, a strange man appeared and said that he wanted to marry her. His face is notably obscured every time we see him (to obscure facial scarring?) , but his attire resembles that typically worn by the Ubuyashiki head. (Also, he has a fresh cut like Kiriya does later. I’m loving the bangs, Oyakata-sama. Really brings out your eyes.)
Tumblr media
-Panel B cuts to Kagaya and Amane speaking with Mitsuri at HQ, and he praises her incredible strength and talent. Also, he is literally described as “the one who saved her in the past.” Right there at the top of the screen. If that isn’t the most straightforward confirmation they could give us, than I don’t know what is.
Tumblr media
So here’s what I’m getting from this: we know the Ubuyashikis are no stranger to recruiting potential powerful slayers (like Amane did with the Tokitos). I’m guessing Kagaya would have understood Mitsuri’s desire to be wanted, and used this as a tactic to get her to hear him out. Also, it probably would not be a good look to show up out of nowhere like “hey, leave home and come kill demons (which do exist) for me, a totally not suspicious or insane man!” Hence, the proposal. At this point, he would hit her with the “heyyy so sorry I am actually very much married but you’re an incredibly powerful human and I think I know a place where you could live as your true self and be appreciated for your gifts!” And she was like ok bet are there strong and hot swordsmen there?? And he was like lmao now that you mention it—
(Was Obanai a hashira yet?? Was he?? I don’t know, but this would be WAY funnier if he was.)
So anyway, again, this could be a random dude who showed up for absolutely no reason. But it would make SO much more sense for it to be Kagaya using his natural charm to recruit some more Hashira (bc their numbers would have been quite low at the time!)
Perhaps the swordsmith village anime will clear this up?

Small review that just popped as I was talking on a fanfiction comment so, here you go.
Spoilers for SL Ragnarok because of course there is.
A small analysis on Antares as a character:
1) Born to destroy and raised to kill. While I don't know how much of a hold the dark fragment inside of him has, it does show that he can easily advert that whenever he wants to,(I.e being able to mediate things between the monarchs, wait out until the final years every time just to win the war, and even befriend ashborn despite being a former ruler.) He still chooses war, and most importantly winning, over everything. So I do guess he was also raised with that mentality to become the strongest and to become a warrior, even more so than a protector.
2)He is capable of tactical fighting instead of brute force, but his ego, and him wanting the glory of an all out strength is what he likes the most. Like a viking, he sees its better to die in glory than to run away from the fight.
3) He is a perfectionist by all regards, from wanting to be the strongest (dragon emperor and stuff) to wanting to be the best at everything even in trivial things (in the extras he would rather prove himself to be capable of being punctual than killing someone over accusing him of being late. And this chapter idk how to feel about it because one hand it gives the most characterization of him while simultaneously playing into that hoop of "is he like this or is that how jinwoo sees him?" — I take it both way honestly, and practically funny to think that jinwoo sees him in that perfectionist light as well. But anyways it is still clear to his character in SL R so I give it a lot of passes.
4) He surprisingly sees everyone as equals. In the regard that they are all weak after to him and hardly deserve his attention. Maybe for the monarchs and Rulers he give a bit more attention, and we'll for ashborn/jinwoo he is practically head over heel—*shot to death* I mean quite obsessed with them due to how powerful they are, so they pose a bigger threat to him and his perfect status (see this could have all been resolved if they kis—) not to mention how both embody their fragments and purposes really well.— But I digress, in the dream (and in part of SL R) he doesn't care much about humans, could have easily chosen another planet to invade and it would have been the same to him, he even pits the magic beasts on the same level as them because it doesn't matter much to them as the powerful. So in the end what he cares about isn't species or race, it's about how powerful you prove yourself to be. (And yeah, it's why Suho somewhat managed to become his successor. And even then Antares wants him to reach a certain level before he can fully access his power. He was literally going to take his power to the grave bc everyone was weak 😭. Bro was ready to extinct his species.)
5) This is going to be purely SLR topic but... a good parent?? Well— I— he's knowledgeable, quite so, in raising his species. And frankly maybe might be knowledgeable in other things because of that perfectionist ego of his so— but it's uh, it's cute to know that IF it benefits him he does try to care for the young (dragons) and is good at it.*CRYING. SOBBING. SQUEALING. KICKING*. When I tell you he is literally like a nagging mother you will think im in delulu (which kinda but its real please believe meee)—
6)Another spoiler to SLR, no matter how weak some parts of his species is, he does feel distate when they are disrespected by others. He has his pride in being a dragon but also some(tiny) empathy to other dragons being mistreated and hurt by others. (Idk it's just empathy for dragons or if it could extend to having a semblance of empathy for other species who are being exploited from their power, but it's there. And he finds it disgusting more than anything.)
There is more to say about him but I don't have enough time right now so I'll probably reblog this with edits later on and more exposition on the points.

So there’s this like…very common reading of Griffith’s character that’s popular even among people who supposedly like him and see him more than just a villain, and its that he is manipulative…which I cant for the life of me figure out where it came from? It makes me feel like maybe I’m biased and blind to his wrongs just bc I love him. But then again, where? I cant pinpoint one instance or panel (specifically from GA but could apply to post GA) where Miura obv intends for us to read manipulation as a trait. Even the Queen assassination and the Foss thing, he didn’t manipulate the man he threatened him with his daughter, that’s two different things. And when compared to other characters where the author very obv intends for us to read them as such (say, Johan from Monster) Griffith’s case becomes even more ridiculous to me. It’s like people have this fixated idea that a smart, charismatic character (especially if antagonist) has to also be manipulative, which I think is a huge disservice to Griffith’s writing bc he didn’t even need to be that to be an interesting and well written antagonist. What do you think?
You're not alone Anon, I also don't really see it, certainly not as a significant character trait. I think he's capable of manipulation, as we see to an extent in his courtship of Charlotte, or arguably, say, the way he handled the Battle of Doldrey by predicting what Gennon would do based on his obsession with him, but yk, when most of fandom calls Griffith manipulative I definitely get the impression that they think he's somehow Hannibal Lectering Guts and Cacsa into being loyal or w/e lol, which couldn't be more ridiculous.
He's definitely not manipulative in the way people usually use it to describe fictional characters, particuarly villainous ones. Like you said, he's no Johan. Griffith is tactical, and he's capable of reading people and acting appropriately. But yk, again like you said, he didn't really manipulate eg Foss. He read him, recognized that he was an enemy, and took steps to neutralize him as a threat by kidnapping his daughter and killing all his powerful allies.
Most of his success comes from being charismatic and being better at stuff than other people. And while he utilizes manipulation at times, he does so because he has no other choices, it's not his go-to first resort for getting his way or anything like that.
He's also notably quite adament that his followers follow him of their own free will (and even Guts proposed the duel and the stakes himself, remember, Griffith just went along with it) because he doesn't actually like the idea of having control over the lives of other people. Part of the way he keeps his guilt buried is by reminding himself that people follow him, or presumably fight him, of their own free will. Or like, he doesn't manipulate Guts into being his perfect soldier, Guts acts out and Griffith just plans around his idiocy lol. A lot of Griffith's character is about specifically not being controlling and letting people do what they want, moreso than most military leaders.
Anyway yeah, basically ia. Thanks for the ask!

Hi, I found your account because I also like Chrisker and DBD and I really enjoy your fanart! (I learned about them through DBD XD)
I also wanted to ask if you think the rumors about Wesker having a crush on Rebecca are true? I came across that due to both, DBD and RE fanart etc and I really hope it's not true
Hi anon! Thank you! I'm happy to hear you're enjoying my art! <3
Honestly the whole thing makes me uncomfortable but I don't think that's the case and I'll try to explain it. First off, I HATE that photo/Easter Egg with a passion. Secondly, as it's an Easter Egg I don't consider it canon.
Easter Eggs in games are supposed to be silly and funny or creepy, plus EEs generally aren't supposed to be connected to the plot or canon. They're more of a little challenge/puzzle for the player to figure out hidden Easter eggs, the result is usually intended to give the player a 'lmao what??' or 'wtf' reaction, something that's not meant to be taken seriously. Sometimes it's just something to do to get a hidden trophy.
I did read somewhere that Enrico and Wesker shared the same office, and since Rebecca was on Enrico's team it's possible that he was the one who had the photo, not Wesker. (there's only one S.T.A.R.S office so where was Enrico's team supposed to work??) Additionally, the photo wasn't even developed yet it was just on a film roll; the player had to be the one to develop it (at least in RE2R, idk about the OG RE2). In both RE1 games when it was just Wesker, Chris and Rebecca, when Rebecca joined in the conversation between Chris and Wesker, he didn't hesitate to shoot her, as if he was annoyed about being interrupted by her. If he had an interest in her I imagine it was because she was a threat; she was smart and a medic, if she had the resources she would be able figure out cures/vaccines for viruses. OR he may have wanted her to work for him as a scientist when he bails from Umbrella as she's intelligent enough. He can't work alone he'll need his own team of soldiers and scientists.
But overall no I don't think it's a canon thing. The photo was probably amusing in the OG game at the time but these days it's not so amusing and in bad taste tbh. (it's not something that's aged well imo). I try to ignore/avoid the whole thing altogether but if I had to go with a reason for it I either go with the 'it was Enrico not Wesker that had the photo in the desk drawer' or the Chrisker version; Wesker didn't want Chris to develop an interest in Rebecca (Wesker is the jealous/possessive type) so he took the film roll/photo with the intention to dispose of it but forgot about it or before he could get rid of it he and his team had to go to the mansion. Bc of the idea of Chris getting a crush on her or he might have seen Chris and Rebecca (who was new to S.T.A.R.S) talking one day and it got under his skin, he had particular malice towards her in a territorial/jealousy kind of way.
Also wanna say I don't hate Rebecca! ;; I just really don't like the photo Easter egg and the association it has with Wesker. Wesker can be a creepy bastard sure but I think it's more of an intimidation tactic to be the one in control, nothing more. An 'all bark and no bite' situation. Considering how fruity and high off his ass on hubris/power he was I don't think he actually felt anything for Rebecca. If anything I consider Wesker to be on the ace spectrum and doesn't really feel anything for anybody (with the exception of Chris maybe seeing how obsessed he is with him, romantically/sexually or not). This is how I see Wesker:
Tumblr media
I hope that reassures you ;-; (and anybody else who was concerned about it)

Spuder Enid au, idk if you already have an "Uncle Ben" but i was thinking.... what if it was her father? Ik ik, it's angsty, but hear me out;
1) we need more angst, it's been a bit too fluff for it to be called flangst
2) Enid, new to her powers and kinda still a disappointment to her family(really just her mom, but mommy issues hit hard), tries to impress her family(just say mom, Enid, we all know it's just her you want to impress) with her spider powers. She's come up with this brilliant idea, stage a mugging of her mom and save her from it. She doesn't have the money to hire a criminal so she just scopes out areas with high crime rates and gang presence, ya know, lead your mother into a trap and then save her, normal things. So she does that, she asks to go on an outing with her mom, Esther is difficult, saying excuses and stuff. But then Murray jumps in and is like "[persuasion tactic]" and for whatever reason, Esther agrees to go with Enid AND Murray on the outing(maybe the movies? Idk). Enids not too happy with her dad becoming involved, but the show must go on bla bla. So she leads them to where ever the plan would happen, convinces them to stay there while she goes and finds something she dropped, but instead she goes and puts on a quick costume. Let her parents(*mom) feel grateful for being saved, and then reveal it's her so that her mom won't be like "you couldn've gotten here sooner bla bla" and instead would be like "oh my goodness, great hero, thank you for saving me and my husband- *gasp!* you're Enid!? Oh my goodness gracious! I never knew i could be so proud of you!! You are my favorite child and will get all the love and-" *ahem* anyways, she goes and puts her improv suit on and comes back on the roof tops. She sees her parents being mugged! Perfect! Wait, why is her dad trying to fight back? Dad no! HE HAS A GUN! "NO DA-" Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
Her father drops to the ground infront of the mugger.
She drops to the ground between the mugger and her father.
"With great power.... comes great responsibility"
The mugger is long gone, but his scent remains.
So she chases it.
She runs and slings her way after him.
She finally catches up to him at an abandoned building.
She doesn't know what it used to be, but it's big.
But more importantly the walls are thick.
The mugger was cornered.
The mugger shoots, but she dodges effortlessly.
She walks up to him.
She's now right infront of him. She can smell he pissed his pants.
She'll never know it, but her eyes are yellow right now.
She hits him. She hits him. She hits him. She hits. She hits. Hits. Hits. Hits. Hits.
It's raining now.
Perfect to wash away the blood on her hands.
It does the job.
She returns to her things.
And she goes home.
3) it's even easier for her to disown her family now
-coffee anon
Holyshit I don't think Enid would be that craving for affection that she'd stage a criminal hit for it,,
You trying to make enid the new batman bc you're abt too make her one with that back story
My idea isn't as angsty bc essentially: Enid with powers not really knowing what to do with it, a mutant crashes onto the area her and her dad are in and Murray goes to help out even with the ongoing crisis. He's leading out civilians with a panicked Enid joining
Near death moment happens, Enid says that he shouldn't risk his life like that! He nearly died dammit and Murray mentions how time is of the essence and that you shouldnt ignore someone in danger simply bc more proper people hasn't shown up
Less with great power great responsibility and more, if you can do smth to help then do it
It's why Enid is so irate at black cat Wednesday jumping in as some sort of decoy. Like Enid is the superhero- the vigilante, she's supposed to do reckless shit like that so other people like her dad didn't need to go play hero in the first place.

how does Leo "break" Usagi down to the point where he's like we see him? What tactics does he utilize to mess with him?
Manipulation, gaslighting, and all forms of abuse.
He makes Usagi think he's crazy, Leo pretends to see Usagi's trauma hallucinations but also makes Usagi feel like his meltdowns or outbursts are just him overreacting in some way and not acknowledging why Usagi may be so upset. Leo validates and invalidates Usagi at the wrong times in the wrong way. It makes Usagi feel completely confused as to what is and isn't real, and he then depends on Leo as a rock to ground him. Dependent in that way.
He makes Usagi not feel heard. Usagi saying anything doesn't matter 99% of the time. What he wants, needs, etc. Leo decides that for him. There's points where Usagi can't even pick what temperature of water he can shower in (Usagi likes cold showers, Leo doesn't want his bunny chilly.) Leo doesn't listen to Usagi's needs or wants, he decides everything for Sagi. Eventually, Usagi believes that what Leo wants is best. After all, what Usagi wants only makes him and everything around him worse.
Leo doesn't respect Usagi's physical boundaries, making Usagi tend to feel extremely dirty or to disassociate. Usagi can rarely even get the 'luxury' of sleep, bc he has to sleep laying down and with it quiet, both of which are near impossible with Leo around, as Leo will move Usagi around and talk constantly. Usagi doesn't feel like his body is his, more like an object to be moved around and looked at then a person. Mikey doesn't help this, making Usagi feel like it's Usagis fault and Usagis choice that he's experiencing these things, rather then Usagi being unable to get away or get Leo to stop.
Leo is in a HIGH position of power over Usagi. Usagi is a very capable, talented guy, but Leo is infinitely more dangerous. Leo is analytical and could easily figure out a million different ways to hurt anyone around him, and often showcases that power. Even if Usagi has 'power' over Leo in some ways (like bargaining affection to get Leo to do something) that only reinforces that Usagi truly is everything that Mikey calls him, and plus Leo often ignores the 'terms' of the agreement and Usagi can't really stop him.
Leo saying that he's 'not gonna let anything happen' or that 'he'll keep him safe' is horrifying to Sagi. Because Usagi just hears 'you're not getting away from me. You're not dying on my watch, you will never be rid of me.' Ya know?
Leo manipulates all of Usagis insecurities, needs, and wants. Usagi has horrid abandonment issues, and he just aches for someone to say they won't leave him. When Leo says it, there's a quiet part of Usagi that's just so so happy. And it makes him sick, and guilty. But he needs it so badly. And Leo knows that. He feeds into it. It's a nasty cycle of desperately wanting Leo to leave him alone but never leave.
Toxic and abusive relationships are complex like that.

Your Harbinger Christmas fic made me melt like an ice cream, especially when i read Capitano's section 😭💓🛐 the way u write him in the fic had me in tears, i love him so much 😭💞💞
I just love the thought of Capitano being this "A dangerous and powerful man who leads an entire army to a war, a man who is feared but also respected by many people and all of his foes calling him a monster in battlefield". But when he is alone with reader, he suddenly became a man that wants to be loved 😭 its funny but also really cute and sweet 🥺💓.
I can't stop thinking about "before" both Capitano and reader being together, i believe that someone like him never celebrate holiday.. He probably spend it for training himself, strategizing war tactics, etc. So of course he had no idea of how being festive. But now that they are together, seeing him finally can relax and reader teaching him few things about holidays is just makes my heart flutter (he deserves everything good 🙏😭)
About that part where reader gave him that "ugly" Christmas sweater as a joke.. It may look ugly to them, but for him its beautiful bcs its literally A GIFT from HIS S/O and i think he will cherish it forever ❤ (idk why, but i think reader will starts to feel bad and decided to give him a good one 😅).
And also, shopping with him is probably a bit funny to think of bcs its the only time both Capitano and reader argue with each other. Capitano keep insisting of carrying all of the items they bought while reader trying to tell him to give some of it to them. Also imagine him raising his hands up with all of the items effortlessly while reader trying to reach to grab one of the items from him is just funny and cute (other people are watching them too btw).
Anyways, thank you so much for always making my and everyones day better with ur fic smooches 🛐🛐🙏 i hope you have a great holiday with ur families and friends! Remember to take care yourself! And happy new year! 🎉🎊
(Before i go, remember ur fic about fragile!reader but they already dead? I can't stop imagining the angst about the Harbingers spending holidays without their s/o 🙃 okay that's all, see you!)
-🥝
I'm so glad you liked my Christmas ramblings 🥝 anon!💓💓 (When I was writing Capitano's part I was thinking of u ngl, I was like what will🥝 anon think?) AND YEWWWW I love thinking about Capitano the same way🛐 Very tough and deadly but when he's in the comfort of his lover's arms he just wants to let his guard down and succumb to them :3 And yea, he never cared for the holidays, though he always lets his soldiers go spend time with their families if they want (he's a good captain, otherwise he wouldn't be respected!) So soldiers who stay in the headquarters are used to seeing him working, but when one Christmas comes around they don't see him and they're like ??? huh?? Until later they find out he got himself a cute lil partner to finally spend time with😭💞😭💞😭💞
AND YESSS CAPITANO CHERISHES EVERY SINGLE THING READER GIVES HIM. Literally could give this man a rock with a smiley face and he'd take It so seriously. (And yes reader def gives him a nicer sweater bc they cant take him seriously in the older one😭💞) And shopping with him is so funny - he NEVER lets you carry anything, which is very gentlemanly, but you're also like!! Hey let me do something!! But he never lets you, he wants to treat you like royalty and also is slightly scared of its being too heavy🛐 I can just imagine him holding everything up high while having your grocery list in the other hand as he's trying to figure out with aisle has the item, and you're trying to tackle his arm to let the stuff down😭
Thank you 🥝 anon for your delicious brain rot I enjoyed it very much 😌 I hope you had a wonderful holidays and a great new year!! Take care of yourself too nonnie <333
(You just had to make it sad at the end...😢😢 Idek what to say... the holiday spirit would be completely dead. The only wish they had was an impossible one - for you to come back into their arms😭😭 STOPPP IM SAD NOW- unless you come to visit them in their dreams🥺 they would be so happy until they wake up and realize they were just dreaming...)
