can I request ready x tan or sanzu. Whoever you choose tbh from bonten who is cheating on the reader but yn is a bad bitch so she humiliates him in don’t of everyone and he starts crying and begging for her not to leave him. Like they can host a dinner party and everyone thinks they’re the happy couple. Sorry I love these men but I need to see them crumble too.
Ran the man we can’t stand
Ran x reader
Warnings: language, mentions of cheating.
Tumblr media
You swore that if you heard another porcelain plate clank against a metallic knife or fork you were going to end up stabbing the owner of the utensil with it, and it didn’t help you any further that the person making the most noise was none other than Haitani Ran, your boyfriend.
Your boyfriend who had caught in the Roppongi red light district every night for a week when he claimed he was working overtime.
Your boyfriend who had portrayed you as the naive gullible type, the type that would blindly believe his lies.
But you weren’t and if he were a smart cheater he would’ve at least have his younger brother be able to lie for him when you called asking what time he would be home instead of being met with a surprised Rindou who had no idea what you spoke about.
Tumblr media
You watched as his glass clanked on the wooden table as he drank carelessly just as he was, careless, without a care in the world.
“You okay (Y/N)-chan?” Kakucho asked as he softly, breaking you out of you thoughts.
“I’m fine” you replied forcing yourself to soften you gestures to create a semblance of a smile.
You weren’t angry at Kakucho or anyone at this table or at this annual supper they held for the Bonten members.
Your hate sat with one man, a man with lilac hair and stupid smirk that you had half a mind of punching away.
Ran sensed your thoughts as his attention shifted from Sanzu to you.
“What’s wrong pumpkin not enjoying the food?” Ran asked from his seat parallel to yours.
And you held a feral gaze, crazy enough to pull Ran over the table and pull his eyes out but you didn’t want the rest of Bonten to think less of you so instead of getting physical you decided to get verbal.
“Nothing is wrong darling” you replied loud enough that it had caught some members attention, but you left your reply to hang in the air causing activities to go back to what they were prior to you reply that was until you decided to speak again.
“Wait actually Ran there is something wrong” you said now much louder than before getting every member’s attention now.
“What is it my love I’ll fix it right away” Ran replied playing the perfect caring boyfriend.
“I’m wearing a pair of black lace panties, and I wore the other two days ago but I saw another pair in your car on the way here and last I recall I only have two pairs of black lace panties” you said with confusion in your voice.
“I don’t think this is an appropriate conversation at such an event” Ran said with a smile trying to save face from other members.
“Well when should we discuss it cause I’d hate for whatever woman you took that from to lose them” you said with a smile.
“Come on now (Y/N), have some decency”
“How about you get better at cheating you dumb fuck” you spat at as you looked Ran dead in the eyes with a tedious smile. You had Ran right were you wanted him, looking like an idiot.
“Oh shit Rannie” Sanzu laughed out watching the altercation occur.
“Shut-up Sanzu” Ran snapped finally losing his cool.
“Now you know well enough I wouldn’t cheat on you”
“Oh really Ran, you’re as shit as lying as you are at cheating. Next time get your brother in on your cheating schemes so that he can at least lie about what you’re doing” you said as you stood up, your chair making a loud screeching sound.
“Don’t drag Rindou into this, his innocent in all this-”
“Congratulations you admitted to cheating you stupid shit” you said cutting Ran off as you walked out of the massive dining room.
The only sound being heard was that of your black heels as and the only feeling being that on the black fabric that clung to your skin as you walked your way to the exit.
And for a minute that was all you head till you ears picked up another, the footsteps of Ran running after you and then the feeling of his hand grabbing at your wrist.
“Don’t do this shit to me, you need me” Ran said pulling you closer, so close that you could feel his cool breath against your lips close enough to kiss them.
“I don’t need shit from you” you said placing a soft kiss on his lips as you pulled your wrist out of his hand.
“Fine be a bitch you’ll never find someone like me with the power or money that I have” Ran said watching your figure walk away.
And the moment Ran’s words met your ears you turned on your heels just before you reached the door. A massive smile painting your face.
“I’ll see you later tonight Koko” you said blowing the man a kiss.
Your words causing Ran to spin around to see not only Koko standing in the corridor but the rest of Bonten.
“Don’t forget to put on the little outfit I left on the bed” Koko replied back with a wink, as you left the Bonten headquarters.
“You’ve been fucking my girlfriend” Ran said as he stormed over to Koko grabbing the man by his suit collar.
“Ex-girlfriend buddy. You snooze you lose. I mean no one told you to get your rocks off to those girls at host clubs”
“It’s a dog eat dog world. So no hard feelings Rannie” Koko said as he removed Ran’s hands from himself, dusting his collar off as he made his way back to the dining room.
Ran stood there his eyes blown wide from the disrespect he had just experienced. A man like him has never been spoken to like that before to be treated like his words didn’t hold power.
“You were fucking host club girls” Takeomi laughed out, causing Ran to snap his attention back to the group of men. As he realised that the whole of Bonten just witnessed what had occurred.
“This man lost his girl to Koko” Sanzu said laughing hard that he nearly farted.
“Tough one Ran” Mikey said with fake sympathy as he walked back to the dining room.
“If you were gonna cheat on her why didn’t you just let me date her” Rindou complained following after Mikey.
“i’M rAn I cHeAt On bEaUtiFuL WoMeN FoR GiRls WhO pRetEnD To cArE AboUt WhAt I sAy iN hOsT cLuBs” Sanzu said mimicking Ran’s voice as Mochi and Kakucho laughed as they walked back to the dining room with their backs turned to Ran.
“Shut up” Ran shouted looking all distraught.
“ShUt-uP, I’m RaN wHoSE GoNnA UsE HiS hAnD toNigHT”

Taglist: @eddie-is-a-god @siriusmaraudeers
Friday, October 25th, 1985
The cool October night breeze caresses your skin as you step out the doors of Hawkins High, the excited chatter of the club members following behind you. When you hear quick steps approaching behind you, you turn to see Eddie fall in step next to you.
“So remind me again why you’re bailing on me for our only just recently reinstated Friday movie nights?” he questions, feigning offense. You scoff out a small laugh as you dig for your keys in your bag, approaching your truck parked next to his van.
“Because I already told you, I’m taking Max out to the drive-in.”
“Oh yeah, what movie are you gonna see?”
“They’re playing Silver Bullet tonight.”
“Oh man. Yeah, I’ve heard about that one. Looks really good, I’ve been really wanting to see it.” He leans against his van, putting on the dramatics and fake disappointment that you see right through, unable to stop the big smile from creeping onto your face as you watch his little show. 
“Oh is that so?” you tease, popping out your hip as you cross your arms, amusement written across your face.
“Come on. What, you think I’m gonna dampen your girl party?” 
You roll your eyes.
“Under any other circumstances, I’d insist you join along. But Max… she’s already been isolating herself enough as it is, anyone else being there would just close her walls right back up, you know? And I’m trying to bring those walls down so…” 
“Yeah, I get it. I’m only teasing. I hope you guys have a good time. Tell me if the movie's any good, yeah?” He offers you a soft smile, a smile you return that quickly turns into a smirk as you watch the younger boys approaching.
“Uh huh, you too” you respond, gesturing with your eyebrows as you unlock the door to your truck.
Eddie’s eyes follow yours behind him, shoulder’s quickly slumping at the sight and question he already knows is coming.
“Hey uh, you mind giving us a ride home?” you overhear Dustin ask as you start your engine, quickly leaving Eddie to fulfill the drop offs you’ve done countless times since the beginning of the semester.
You turn the knob on your radio through the channels of static till the sound of the opening credits come through your speakers. With a bag of popcorn and slushies set between you, you and Max settle against your clothed truck seats, focusing on the huge screen set out 100 feet away in the big field now filled to the brim with cars full of other teenagers seeking a scary late night flick. 
You let yourselves get pulled into the film, mindlessly funneling popcorn into your mouths between sips of cherry Icees. You find yourself wondering how to spark a deeper conversation with Max. As much as you don’t want to force her to open up, with each week that passes you’ve only grown more worried and concerned for her.
You’ve spent some brief time together since you moved back, giving her a ride here and there given her mom is always working, but this is the first extended time you’ve been able to spend together. As you’re lost in thought, the sound of her throat clearing from the seat next to you grabs your attention.
“Hey, I-uh, just want to say thanks. For bringing me. This is the first time I’ve gone out and done anything in a while, so…” She mutters almost shyly, hesitantly. You offer her a genuine smile that relaxes the tension in her body.
“Anytime, I’m glad you could join me. I’ve missed this, you know, our girl time.” You offer, pulling a smirk and eye roll from her. As your eyes move back to the movie, hers drift to examine your Hellfire shirt.
“Since when are you in Hellfire?” she asks curiously.
“Oh, well since last Friday. Once me and Eddie made up I decided to join.” You answer, shrugging nonchalantly as you look down and admire your new Hellfire shirt Eddie rushed to get made for you.
“Made up?” She prods with an eyebrow cocked.
“It’s a long story.” You answer dismissively as you shake your head, assuming she wouldn’t be interested.
“Oh, so you got to hear all the gossip about my relationship back in the summer but I don’t get to hear about yours?”
Your eyes widen as you look at her with a smirk, caught off-guard by the witty remark you always knew her for but haven’t seen much of in the last few weeks. 
“Eddie and I aren’t in a relationship. We’re just friends, Max.”
“Uh huh.”
“I’m serious!”
“Well, I still wanna know the juicy details of the ‘making up’ you two did.” She insists, crossing her arms across her chest as she settles further into the passenger seat of your truck. 
You scoff out a mix between a laugh and a groan before letting your eyes survey her again.
“There’s no ‘juicy’ details, not that I’d tell you if there was anyway.” You emphasize before continuing, “We just have always been best friends, ever since I first moved to Hawkins. We got close pretty quickly. But then I moved back to Virginia and…”
“And?”
“I um, I stopped talking to him. Stopped returning his calls.” You answer with a sigh, meeting her blue eyes as they begin to reflect a knowing feeling.
“Why?”
“It was just too painful to deal with, to hear his voice, to be reminded of the loss that came with the move. It’s like, being so overcome with that pain that you just avoid everyone, let alone that person that it’s attached to. Sometimes it just feels easier to be alone in your pain.” You end with a shrug despite knowing how true some of that may ring for her too.
She pulls her eyes from you to the sweating cup of slushie in her hands as she nods briefly.
“Yeah, I get that.” Is all she offers in the moment. You let a few seconds pass by before you continue.
“I mean I ended up regretting it but, it was just too easy to get stuck in the pain and then the anxiety, you know. I never spoke to him again till I just moved back. We had some brief hurdles to overcome but, we talked things out and we’ve been able to start our friendship again.”
She nods again, briefly lifting her eyes to meet yours again with a forced smile before turning her gaze to the movie.
“I’m glad you guys worked things out.”
“Yeah, me too.” you mutter softly as you turn your own gaze back to the movie.
Part of you is hoping this is a small step in the right direction. Hoping that Max takes the fact that you can somewhat understand how she’s feeling, what she’s going through as a sign you’re a safe space for her. Someone she can open up to and who will actually understand. 
Opening up about your own experience with Eddie, and your struggle with depression and isolation is your first step, initiating the bigger conversation with Max in a way. So you leave it at that, leaving it to her to decide what she wants to do with it as you attempt to get yourself back into the film you can tell you’ve already lost key information in due to your conversation.
The drive back to Forest Hills is silent besides the sound of the breeze blowing through the cracked windows and your joined hums along to the Kate Bush Hounds of Love cassette playing through the speakers. You pull into your driveway close to 11pm, turning to Max with an almost shy smile as you shift into park. 
“Did you have a good time?” You ask with a hint of nervousness as you search her face and body language. She leans forward in the seat, nodding her head gently.
“Yeah, thanks again.” She reassures you. You remove your keys from the ignition, but stop yourself from opening your door and getting out when you notice her hand hesitating on the door handle.
“Hey, what’s up?” you ask, voice soft. Her body leans back slightly, but her eyes still refuse to lift from the floor of your truck to your eyes.
“What you told me earlier about you and Eddie. I just- I know how you felt.”
“I know, sweetie.” You reply with a sigh, leaning back into your own seat. When her eyes look up to meet yours, you elaborate. “That’s why I told you. So you’d know I understand. I won’t lie and say I completely know everything you’re probably going through, but I do know some of it and... I just hope you know I’m always here, no judgment.”
She takes your words in and lets them settle, staring down at her fidgeting hands as she musters together the courage to let you in, like she had so easily before all summer. But this is different.
“I just… I feel so guilty. I can’t escape that night, that image of Billy, even in my dreams. He-He sacrificed himself for me and I just…watched.” You listen to her intently, giving her the space to say all she wants before you speak up.
“I understand why you feel that way. I still get flashbacks and nightmares of that night sometimes too.”
“You do?” 
“Of course. Living through something like that, it’s gonna stick with us. And that guilt part? That’s normal too, there's even a name for it. Survivor’s guilt. You blame yourself for what happened, maybe you even wish it happened to you instead. But you are not to blame, Max. None of that was your fault.”
“Still, I just stood there and watched, I was frozen. Maybe I could have done something, maybe I could have helped.” She stutters out, pain and frustration sketched across her face. Your heart breaks at the sight, at seeing her carry all the responsibility for what happened on her shoulders, weighing her down for months.
“I hear you. I know it’s frustrating, eating you up. You’re mad at yourself, wishing you could change what happened. Have you ever heard of fight or flight?” When she nods, you keep going. “Well, that’s not all there is to it. Freezing is also a very normal reaction to something traumatic. You didn’t have a choice, your nervous system decided for you.”
She looks at you, wiping a tear as it falls from her eyes.
“Really? You're not just making that up to make me feel better, right?”
You shake your head in reassurance, both taking a deep breath against heavy chests with the weight of the pain.
“I was there with you too, Max. It all happened so fast, even if we hadn’t frozen… there’s nothing we could have done.” 
Flashbacks hit you as you speak, seeing Billy get trapped under falling pillars and rubble from the mall fire, and his instant death from the crushing weight. Rubble that would’ve fallen on Max. 
She reluctantly shakes her head in agreement as you finish, the same memories flashing through her mind, knowing you’re right. Beginning to let herself believe it. Letting you chip away at the weight she’s been carrying, letting herself feel the small relief that comes with it.
“I know you’re right. It’s been hard to try to convince myself of it but… hearing it from you too. It helps. That’s not all of it though… I think about how much I hated him, all the thoughts I had about him. I’d lay in bed at night and wish something bad would happen to him.” She whispers, shame bleeding through her words.
“Max” you breathe out in empathy at her confession, reaching out to grab and squeeze her hand, pulling her attention back to you. “Wanting someone who did nothing but torment you out of your life does not make you a bad person, and it doesn’t make you responsible for what happened to him, either. Billy was not a good person, but everyday I am so grateful he had enough good left in him to save you. Because you are good and you deserve to forgive yourself, hun.”
You pour your heart into every word, staring intently into her blue eyes as tears now freely stream from them and fill your own waterline. You see her breath stuttering in her chest before she throws her arms around you, both quickly closing the space between as you embrace each other.
“You are so loved, Max Mayfield. Don’t you ever forget that.” You mutter out the words you know she needs to hear. You know the dark place the guilt, shame, and trauma have taken her too well. You hold her for a minute until you feel her arms begin to slip from you. As she comes back into your vision, an idea hits you.
“I know something else that might help. Why don’t you write him a letter?” She looks at you in slight confusion, so you push further. “I’m serious! Write him a letter with everything you want to say to him, what you’ve been holding in. Go to his grave and read it out loud like you're actually saying it to him, let it all out. And then, burn it, bury it, I don’t care. As long as you get rid of it in some way. Say what you want to say to him, and then let it go.”
She considers your words for a moment before she nods.
“Yeah, that actually doesn’t sound like a bad idea.”
“I’ll even take you, I’ll stay in the truck the whole time too. You just let me know, okay?” You offer, voice soaked in sincerity.
She’s quiet sitting there, lost in thought as she fidgets with her zipper. After a moment, you hear her voice quietly croak out.
“I wish you were my sister.”
It’s a whisper, a nervous confession you could’ve easily missed had all of your attention not already been on her. You greet her with a smile as she chances a look from her hands to your face, wiping the fallen tears on her cheeks with her jacket sleeves.
“We may not be blood, but I’ll be your older sister for as long as you’ll have me.”
When she returns your small smile, you raise your hand in front of you, pinky finger extended. A short giggle at the lighthearted childishness of it escapes her mouth before she wraps her pinky around yours. 
Soft smiles, dried tear stains, and a promise to always be there for her.
Thursday, October 31st, 1985
Halloween Night
You examine yourself in your vanity mirror, fluffing your hair you spent nearly an hour on to make sure it’s perfect. Purple eyeshadow matching your purple dress, sharp winged eyeliner. You smile at yourself, hands following the way your dress accentuates your wide hips before flowing out around your thick thighs. Looking down at your high heels, you wish you’d picked a different character to dress up as, already foreseeing the pain your feet would be in at the end of the night.
With a sigh, one final look over in the mirror, and the clock nearing the time of the scheduled meet-up with your friends, you turn off your lights and close your bedroom door.
“Don’t you look cute!” your mother exclaims as you enter the living room, hands covering her cheeks as she gushes over you. You bashfully roll your eyes but share a big smile with her.
“You like it? It looks good?” You ask with your arms spread out, giving a little twirl.
“You look beautiful, honey. I wish you’d dress like this more often!” You stop yourself from giving a less than bashful eye roll this time, but can’t deny that you feel and look good in this dress. 
“Don’t stay out too late, it’s still a school night!” She gives you a kiss on the cheek as you part, you give her the reassurance you’ll be back before 11 as you head out the front door. 
The sound of your heels clapping against the cement fills the silence of the neighborhood as you begin crossing the road toward Eddie’s trailer. Your head shoots up when you hear a low whistle, eyes landing on Eddie as he sits on his porch steps with a smug grin on his face.
“My, my, my. Look at you.” he mutters, observing you as you approach. The darkness of the night casting a shadow over him to hide the way his eyes rake over your exposed thighs, dress swishing against them with each step. He hasn’t seen you in a dress since you were kids and your mom had more control over your outfit choices. Seeing you now, he thinks it’s one thing he might take your mom’s side on, you need to add more dresses to your wardrobe.
“Yeah, yeah. Take a picture, it’ll last longer.”
“You know what, I think that’s a fantastic idea. Bring a camera?”
“Shut up.” You giggle, slapping him on the shoulder as you stand beside him.
“What?! You look nice. I can’t tell my best friend she looks nice?���
“Whatever you say, Munson. Besides, you know your pants are supposed to be khaki right? Or atleast brown!” You tease as you pull at a loose string around the knee of his ripped black jeans.
“Hey, at least I got the shirt right.” He retorts as he points at his green shirt, literally the only item of clothing he's sporting to mimic his character. 
Both your heads turn at the sound of feet approaching. You smile at the sight of your red-headed younger friend. Ever since that night at the drive-in, that Sunday when you gave her a ride to Billy’s grave, she’s slowly started coming back around the party again, beginning to let everyone back in and you couldn’t be happier. You wrap your arms around her for a quick hug as she joins you and Eddie.
“I’m so happy you came!” you beam, pulling a laugh from her as you move your bodies side to side in the embrace.
“You look good.” She remarks with a quirked eyebrow as you part.
“Thanks, Red.” 
Eddie stands up from the porch steps during your greeting.
“Nice to officially meet you, Mad Max. Who are you supposed to be anyway?” He asks, both of you examining her outfit.
“Dr. Sarah Bowman from Day of the Dead. Already had everything I needed for it in my closet.” She answers with a shrug, gaining a nod of approval from both of you.
“Well, we ready to get this party started?” He asks, dangling the keys to his van from his fingers. 
With that, the three of you load into Eddie’s van and head to pick up the boys before going to the final meeting place of Steve’s house. Steve ensuring all of you his neighborhood is the best trick or treating spot in town. Full of well-off families who give out full-sized candy bars.
When you pull up to the end of Mike’s driveway to pick up the three boys, your eyes widen and mouth drops open in disbelief at the sight of Dustin. While Mike dressed up as the Hulk, Lucas as Indiana Jones, you can't believe your eyes when you see Dustin clad with dog ears, a tail, and collar.
“No fucking way.” you laugh out in disbelief.
“What? You can’t have the gang without Scooby!”
You and Eddie try to bite back your chuckles, shaking your heads at the sight.
“Oh, I can’t wait till Steve sees this.”
“Just get in the van.” Eddie finally gets out between bits of laughter, cheeks turning red.
“See? We’ve even got the Mystery Machine van too, only thing missing was me.”
When Eddie and you share a glance, it only sends you into another bout of laughter as he shifts into drive, rolling out of the neighborhood toward Steve’s.
When Steve’s door opens to reveal him in full Fred get-up, with Robin next to him as Velma you smile brightly, the costumes suiting them both so well.
“Oh you’ve got to be shitting me” Steve exhales at the sight of Dustin who only greets him with his ‘pearly whites’.
“I had nothing to do with this” you claim defensively, hands up as you approach Steve and Robin, the latter’s face adorned with a shit-eating grin. When Steve sees it, the hands go on the hips.
“Rob- Seriously?”
“What? What are we just gonna have Shaggy, Daphne, Fred, Velma and no Scooby?”
“That’s what I said!” Dustin interjects in agreement.
“I can’t believe this” he mutters.
“I have to admit, you showed some great ingenuity with the costume, though.” Eddie adds amid Steve’s groans. When his eyebrows shoot up in response, looking at Eddie in disbelief, he retorts. “What? The kid’s creative, what can I say?”
“Thank you” Dustin finishes with a smug smile.
“We all look great, okay? Now, we gonna take these rich folks for all they’ve got or what?” You press, pushing everyone to begin the trek down the streets of Steve’s neighborhood, younger kids taking the lead.
Only a few houses in, the streets are littered with kids and teens in costumes. You talk amongst yourselves, commenting on your favorites and the craftiness of a few of the ones you see.
You’re filled with warmth watching the younger teens walking ahead, watching Max let herself come back out of her shell. You don’t miss the shy glances shared between her and Lucas either, smiling at the sight. While Eddie and Robin are deep in conversation about band, Steve falls in step next to you, sharing your gaze ahead.
“That’s cute” he remarks watching the two. “How did you manage that?”
“I don’t know, just told her what she needed to hear I guess.”
He peeks a glance toward Robin and Eddie before leaning closer to you.
“So, when are you and Eddie finally gonna get your head out of your asses and get together?”
You stagger in your step, taken aback as you look at him like he just spawned a second head.
“What?” Is all you can scoff out.
“Oh come on.” he remarks, hands in his pockets as he saunters down the sidewalk before he leans closer once again, “You’re not as subtle as you think you are.”
You roll your eyes at him, but the warmth filling your cheeks and smile tugging at your lips gives you away.
“Is it that obvious?” you whisper worriedly.
You two stop at the end of a walkway to a house as the rest of the group goes to the front door.
“Well to me and Robin, yeah. But obviously not to him.” 
You watch as they begin their walk back towards you, admiring the smile on Eddie’s face while amongst conversation with the kids. 
“He doesn’t see me like that. I’m just his best friend.” You decide with a sigh, slightly shaking your head before looking back up to Steve who’s observing you with a sympathetic smile.
“Are you kidding? He’d be crazy not to, you’re a total catch.” he says, playfully bumping your hip with his. 
“Thanks, Stevie.”
Eddie’s smile falters slightly as they approach, catching sight of you and Steve standing there staring and smiling at each other. Being dressed as Fred and Daphne, a couple, doesn’t help either. He doesn’t believe you’d have any reason to lie to him that you don’t like Steve as more than a friend, but as he eyes the way Steve smiles at you, the ping of jealousy in his chest tells him he’s not too sure Steve’s on the same page. Maybe it’s the way he looks at you, maybe it’s the way Steve’s playful with you like he is, and Eddie knows the deeper feelings that underlie his own teasing nature with you.
When your breath-taking smile turns to him, those thoughts falter slightly and he can’t help but flash his dimples right back at you.
“You know you’re sharing some of that loot with me, right?” You ask him, bumping his shoulder as he falls in step next to you as you continue your walk through the neighborhood.
“Psh, I’ve worked hard for this. Should’ve brought your own pillowcase and ring some doorbells if you wanted some candy.” He smirks at you, dark eyes glimmering in the night.
“Uh huh, you’re all talk, Munson. We both know by the end of the night half that bag is coming home with me.”
“Hmph, well I suggest you start putting in the work if you want some of this sugar.” 
The thoughts that immediately run through your head from his teasing remark make your cheeks flush and send a jolt right to your core. You squeeze your thighs together as you walk, attempting to push the sensation away. Thoughts and feelings like this about Eddie are reserved for late nights in your room. As much as you tell yourself it’s wrong, it’s getting harder and harder to resist. The way he teases you doesn’t help either.
The slowly intensifying, pounding pain and soreness from your feet in the cramped purple high heels is a welcomed distracting sensation. You groan softly to yourself as you look around and realize you’re only halfway through Steve’s neighborhood. A glance toward Robin’s red sneakers solidifies your decision that you should’ve followed her steps, switching out the character’s heels for much comfier shoes. 
You look around your group of friends and decide to say fuck it and suck it up. It’s your favorite holiday and you’re with your favorite people, you’re gonna enjoy it despite the pain in your feet and unwelcomed bodily sensations Eddie’s words and looks are striking into you.
As you continue through Steve’s neighborhood, joining in the trick or treating activities despite the few sideways glances from homeowners you earn as teenagers asking for candy, you’re reminded of all the things that make Halloween your favorite.
The cool autumn air.
The changing colors of the leaves that have begun to adorn the streets and sidewalks.
The costumes; from scary to funny, store bought to homemade.
The decorations; glowing orange pumpkins with an array of designs carved into them, orange and purple lights hung along the porches, scarecrows and ghosts littered amongst the lawns.
The slasher films waiting to be watched at home while eating the mountain of candy earned from knocking on your neighbors doors.
The way Dustin takes every chance he can get to say “Ruh roh Raggy”, and the way you and Eddie can’t stop yourselves from giggling every single time. 
You breathe it all in, grounding yourself in this shared moment with your friends you’ll never forget, a permanent smile settling in on your face for the night.
A smile that not even Jason and his idiot friends can stop from creasing your round cheeks. You’re so consumed living in the moment that you don’t even notice them until you hear a loud
“Hey!” Both you and Eddie’s heads turn and spot them across the street, but refuse to let your strides falter.
“Look guys, it’s the Freaks Inc. gang!” he booms, buddies bending over in laughter as they watch your group.
“Pfft, what a tool.” Steve remarks with a scoff, shaking his head as he fixes his gaze away from them and forward, unbothered. Grateful to no longer be grouped with people like him.
When you feel yourself begin to bump into the younger boys whose steps have staggered and attention drawn to the insult, you gently nudge them forward. Muttering a “Keep going, I’ve got this.”
You should just ignore them, not even give them the slither of attention or acknowledgement they’re so desperate for, but you just can’t help yourself. Not when an opportunity arises to burst their egotistical bubble. 
Ever since you and Eddie’s altercation with Jason a month ago, him and his friends have generally left the club alone, not directly confronting any of you. Traded insults with his friends when any of you would walk by, sure, but to be fair the threat you gave him only pertained to if he ever put his hands on any of you again. Anything else is fair game, and it’s a game you have no problem playing. 
You quickly eye him and his costume. He-Man. It’s a nice costume too, nearly identical to the show. Easy when you have Daddy’s money to pay for it. 
“Nice He-Man costume, Jason. Looks like you’re having a bit of trouble filling it out though, huh? Tsk, what a shame.” you say sarcastically, feigning a pouty face with a shrug before your smile returns, rolling your eyes at them as you draw your attention back to your friends. Continuing your walk down the street unphased.
You see Eddie staring at you from the corner of your eye. When you look at him, he’s looking down at you in a mix of endearment, pride, and amazement.
“What? He deserves to get knocked down a peg. Should keep his mouth shut next time.”
“Agreed.” Steve declares from the other side of Eddie.
Eddie doesn’t say anything, just wraps an arm around you and pulls you in for a tight side hug as you walk down the street. You let him, resisting the urge to bury your face and body into his side, his warmth, when his grip lightens and falls from your arm.
After another half hour of knocking on doors, you’re nearly done sweeping through Steve’s neighborhood, his house and Eddie’s van coming back into sight as you approach the last couple of houses. If it wasn’t for already going to every house in the neighborhood, the boys' complaints about how heavy their bags have gotten with candy is signaling the end of the night.
You stand with Eddie at the end of the walkways to the last few houses as the rest get the last of the candy for the night. He catches your eye when he reaches into his pocket, pulling out a rolled joint and a lighter. Just before he lights it, your laugh grabs his attention.
“Really, Eddie? In the middle of this uppity neighborhood?”
“What? I’m only being in character.” He laughs out, only to have you meet him with raised brows and a smirk. “Shaggy and Scooby are stoners and that’s a fact. Constantly having the munchies? I mean, HELLO!”
“You’re so dumb” you jest playfully as you resume your slow stride on the sidewalk.
“Well, you know what they say. Birds of a feather flock together.” He breathes out, keeping in step next to you.
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me.”
“Oh really? How’s about I push your ass down this hill right here?” you tease, gesturing toward the down sloped hill between the houses as you pass.
“Pfft, I’d like to see you try.” he scoffs, playing unphased despite the wide grin on his face.
“Your skinny ass will go flying, right down into that drop off in the woods. Lost forever. Such a tragedy. Some say he's still tumbling to this day.” you sigh dramatically, earning a short but loud laugh from him.
“Uh huh. Well I’m pretty quick on my feet if I do say so myself, and I don’t think you’ll be getting too far in those heels.” he retorts, pointing down to the heels that have made your feet numb at this point.
“Well you see, there’s this concept called taking them off?” You tease, bumping your body against his. “I could outrun you.”
The rest of your friends at the last house on the route are forgotten behind you as you near Steve’s.
“That so?”
“Mhmm.” you state simply, arms crossed against your chest and head held high.
“Say, you still ticklish around… here”
You squeal at the quick flicker of his fingers at the side of your waist, jumping away from him. You take wary steps backward as you move in front of him, hands slightly held out.
“You can outrun me, huh? Wanna test that?” he pushes, creeping closer to you with a mischievous smirk and sparkle in his eye. You’ve known him long enough to know he’s about to make you eat your words.
A quick flinch towards you sends you scurrying. With no chance to take off your heels, your strides are stifled as you run the short distance to Steve’s driveway as quickly as you can. Eddie follows closely behind, tickling your sensitive sides every chance he can get, giggling maniacally when it falters your steps as you flinch away. 
Everyone else on the street probably thinks you’re crazy, freaks. You aren’t paying them any attention anyway as the smile on your face begins hurting your cheeks, eyes zeroing in on Eddie’s van a few short paces away.
You throw yourself against it, but Eddie’s relentless. Going for both your sides at the same time as you turn around to face him, sending you into a fit of giggles as you feebly attempt to push him away.
You see your opportunity and quickly jab your fingers into his armpits, sending him back with a flinch and a chuckle. He gives up, leaning back against the van next to you as you both laugh between attempts to catch your breath.
You playfully smack his arm, earning a fake “Ouch” and one of the biggest smiles you’ve ever seen adorn his beautiful face.
“You asshole, Eddie-Bo-Beddie” you tease, emphasizing the pronunciation of your favorite personal nickname for him that he’s always claimed to hate. In truth, he loves it.
“Alright, alright. How’s about I share half my loot to make it up to you, what do you say?” he teases back with the plan you both knew was already going to happen anyway.
“Oh my god” you groan and roll your eyes, only making him to laugh more as you push yourself off the van with the rest of your friends quickly approaching.
“Ugh, they make me sick. I wish they’d just kiss already and get it over with.” Robin mumbles to Steve, pulling a laugh from him as he nods in agreement, watching the show you two have put on.
“Tell me about it.”
With both yours and the younger members of the party’s curfews approaching, you say your goodbyes to Robin and Steve. Embracing them both with tight hugs before piling into Eddie’s van.
Riding down the empty streets of Hawkins with the van windows cracked, the cool air a welcomed sensation against your warm cheeks. The smile never fading from your lips as the sounds of Metallica playing low through the van speakers and the chatter from the kids in the back fill your ears. Your head leaning back against the passenger seat headrest rolls to spare a glance to Eddie. His eyes meet yours, mimicking your smile and sending a shock wave right to your heart.
You make me feel like I am young again.
You sigh in content as you face the winding roads again, deciding this year just might be your favorite Halloween yet.

My take on the Pokemon/Batman thing
Listed here are Bruce, Alfred, Dick, Jason, and Tim! Damian, Steph, Cass, and Duke will be listed in a second part
Bruce: He's a RICH mf, so his pokemon, especially those he's has since childhood, are all pedigree
Growlithe/Arcanine | "Ghost" - Bruce was gifted Ghost by his parents for his sixth birthday. He named the growlithe "Ghost" after the Gray Ghost, a show Bruce and Thomas Wayne watched when he was younger
Eevee/Flareon | "Blaze" - Bruce finds an eevee during one of Gotham's coldest winter. The eevee was crouched over his owner, who had died from hypothermia. Bruce, as Batman, contacted the authorities and they took the eevee to a shelter (ig?). Later on, the eevee escapes the shelter, evolves into flareon, and hunts Bruce down-refusing to leave his side. (The eevee elvolved into flareon because he never wants to see another person suffer from the cold.) Blaze joins Batman on patrols, especially during the winter, where he huddles up next to those in need until Batman can reach them and direct them to safety.
Riolu/Lucario | "Valor" - Bruce receives an egg while training with the LOA, which hatches into a Riolu, whom Bruce names Valor. Valor helps locate victims and people in need before guiding Bruce to them.
Absol | "Omen" - Bruce finds Omen, or rather, Omen finds Bruce during a Gala. The absol was rushing around, trying to warn people of danger while the elites were trying to call security to have the absol removed. Bruce saw Omen and remembered their ability to predict disaster, and pulls a fire alarm to force everyone out of the building. Soon after, a bomb goes off and everyone escapes safely. The absol follows Bruce home and refuses to leave, thus forcibly becoming a member of Bruce's party.
Aegislash | "Rex" - A gift given to Bruce by Ra's al Ghul, almost a promise or acknowledgement of sorts. Rex hovers behind Batman on patrol, watching his back and protecting him against attacks
Honorable mentions: Ampharos (a beacon of light admist darkness), whom I wanted to include, but decided not to. Umbreon (because angst), but I decided flareon would be better. Dratini (elegant af and cool-looking), but didn't really fit the story I wove.
Alfred: He worked in the british military, so his pokemon would mostly be centered around that era
Fletchling/Talonflame | "Sprite" - Alfred was given fletchling when he was but a young lad living in Brighton. He called the fletchling "what a spritely lad", and so the fletchling- now a talonflame who's gone through war with him- only responds to Sprite/Spritely
Blissey | "Madame" (Missy by the Batkids) - Alfred found Blissey at the manor's doorsteps soon after Bruce lost his parents. He'd expected the pokemon to leave soon after, but the Blissey stuck around. Alfred called her Madame as a joke, but the name stuck around. She can usually be found following Alfred around the manor while doing chores, or helping in the cave after patrol
Sobble/Inteleon | "Lad" - Alfred found a sobble during war times, and he felt bad for the lad. The sobble stuck around, and Alfred never found it necessary to leave the sobble behind, and so it eventually evolved into Inteleon and helped Alfred in his soldier days. Eventually, they all retired, and so Lad helps his trainer around the manor, and indulges the children whenever they ask Lad to shoot an empty can or something. This is another case of accidentally naming a pokemon, because the name "Lad" just stuck
Slurpuff | "Buttercream/Butter" - A gift given to Alfred by an old fried. Butter helps him bake and cook, and can also help detect lies! Butter is beloved by all within the household
Minccino | "Argentum/Archy" - Alfred found Argentum abandoned while on a grocery trip, and took the little guy in. Archy helps Alfred clean around the manor, and loves to fuss over the kid's rooms and hair (especially Tim's)
Honorable Mentions: Sinistea, because i was REALLY tempted to make a HAHA BRITISH joke, Drampa, because HAHA OLD.
Dick: Our favorite circus boy!
Pidgey/Pidgeot | "Skyler" - Skyler was the chick of his parents' Pidgeots, and she trained alongside him basically since birth, and she was there with him when Dick's parents died
Poplio/Primarina | "Poppy" - He was given poplio during his time in the circus, and he named him poppy as a pun! When Poppy evolved into Primarina, it was right after Dick found out about Jason's death, so it was... an experience
Zorua/Zoroark | "Monsieur Fox/Foxy" - Dick found Zorua while in his tenure as Robin, and the pokemon just stuck around. The name Monsieur Fox started as a joke, but Dick shortened it to Foxy when zorua refused to respond to anything else. Foxy helps alot during undercover/recon missions, and the other batkids would occasionally ask to borrow him for a mission or another
Eevee/Espeon | "Amy" - Dick helped Bruce rescue Amy from a pokemon trafficking thing, and Blaze adopted the eevee before ANY of them had a say. Amy evolved alongside Dick, the pair growing together into Espeon and Nightwing [insert something poetic and symbolic]
Honorable mentions: Chatot, because have you SEEN dick? He's a chatty little fucker as robin, and Chatot would make him that much more insufferable. Swablu/Alteria because I think dick deserves a dragon-dancing, party-sweeping alteria 😔
Jason: Our favorite dead robin :3
Vulpix/Ninetales | "Annabeth" - Jason found vulpix when he was younger, just before Catherine died. She would try and defend him whenever Willis got violent, but the man's Kingler would easily overpower her. Jason named her Annabeth after his personal hero, Annabeth Chase :3
Eevee/Glaceon | "Belle" - Jason found Belle rummaging in a trashcan. He felt bad for her and took her in, naming her after Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Belle evolves into Glaceon in the winter after Jason's death. She sat in the snow, refusing to come inside until she evolved into Glaceon (this highlights the fire/ice duality between Jason and Bruce, and how after his death, Jason grows colder towards Bruce and their ideals and way of controlling crime differs so drastically that it resembles fire and ice)
Honedge/Aegislash | "Alexander" - Jason received a shiny honedge as a "gift" from Talia. In order to be allowed to keep it, Jason had to convince the pokemon of his worth, fighting alongside it until it evolved into Aegislash. He named it Alexander after Alexander the Great.
Zorua/Zoroark | "Marley" - Jason receives a hisuian Zorua a year before he returns to Gotham as red hood. He accepts him partly as a taunt because Dick has a zoroark, but Jason's zoroark was a ghost type (A once-departed soul, returned to life in Hisui. Derives power from resentment, which rises as energy atop its head and takes on the forms of foes. In this way, Zorua vents lingering malice. -Legends Arceus. Departed soul? Dead? Get it, Jason? HAHA). He names his zorua after Jacob Marley, from a Christmas carol (Because not only is Jacob marley a ghost, has a J name, but also comes back to warn Scrooge to change or else little timmy will die (telling bruce he has to change before TIM will die (omg i'm a genius)))
Honorable mentions: Leafeon was my first choice when it came to Jason's eevelution, but it didn't really match. Next was houndour/doom because i wanted Jason to meet it while on the streets, but decided otherwise. And then a shiny magikarp/garydos, but decided against. Same with tyranitar and garchomp. Sure, they might be cool and powerful, but i don't think Jason would actively take in pokemon especially after his death, the only exception being Marley. Plus, those pokemon are typically seen as angry and uncontrolled, and I wanted to depict Jason as more cunning, sharp- a strategist willing to get his hands dirty rather than a brainless brute who ONLY wants his dad's approval
Tim: Another rich mf!
Vulpix/Ninetails | "Aurora" - Tim gets Aurora, a shiny vulpix, as his first pokemon, a gift from his parents after their trip to japan. (You bet your ass Aurora and Annabeth have met before, which is why Annabeth refuses to fight Aurora, even when Jason orders her to. the two vulpixes use to sneak out at night and play together :3)
Eevee/ Umbreon | "Selene" - Tim wanted to be just like his heroes, and begged his parents for an eevee. They decided to give him a well-bred and pedigree shiny eevee (their son deserves the BEST). Nyx evolves into an umbreon while he and Tim were chasing after robin with a camera, and Tim decided to change her name from Silver, to Selene
Munna | "Remmy" - After Brucequest and his time after Ras and Paris, Tim gets horrible nightmares. Dick gives him a munna to try and help Tim sleep better. He was initially distrustful, but after a while, he grows to accept her into his life. He named her Remmy after REM sleep
Archen/Archeops | "Iggy" - Tim finds a plume fossil while working with Ra's. He revives it before evolving it into Archeops. They work together to catch criminals, with Archeops chasing it down on the streets while Tim pursues from the roofs.
Noibat/Noivern | "Mya" - Tim finds an injured noivern as Robin, and nurses it back to health. He tries to release him into the wild, but the noivern came back, and Tim couldn't find it in him to abandon the little guy. He names him Mya, short for Myotis, the genus for bats
Honorable Mentions: Altaria, becuase i ALSO want him to have a sweeper, but sadly no. I debated on giving him Zorua, but I felt like it was getting repetitive, and decided against it. Corvidknight too, but i thought it wouldn't have matched
As mentioned above, next part will include Steph, Damian, Cass, and Duke :3

What if we kissed in the Maize Maze?
Ok so I wanted to start posting my Soulmates AU for Raindrop month, but writing for my Medieval one is going waay better than planned and it's confusing me to have 2 separate backstories in my head at once, so while I still have *checks calendar* 5 DAYS, here's a little stand-alone ficlet!
What if we kissed in the Maize Maze? A Midwest Emo Ghouls AU ficlet
Rating: T Content: fluff, literally that's it just fluff Words: 615
Lots of love to @alwaysjustmina for organizing this month again this year, I love any excuse to write about our soggy boys!! 🌦️🖤
hello @revengeghoulette, here is your summons as promised!! 🫡
Read below, or on AO3!
Haymaking season was coming to an end, and Swiss, Mountain and all the ghouls who pitched in to help were looking forward to a well-deserved break. To celebrate the end of the season, Swiss had built a maze out of hay bales for the children and kits of the town, as well as some of the more enthusiastic adults.
The whole community had come together to put on a party at the ghouls' farm. Mountain and his colleagues from the hardware store had built fairground games, Dew had dragged the church's speakers down on a trailer and was playing records Mist had brought from her shop. Aurora's cafe had a small pop-up, and Cirrus had brought a vat of apple cider, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, for the younger guests. Cumulus was in her element, her little face-painting stall attracting such a sizeable queue that Sunshine had jumped in to help out. Phantom was taking his new role as Youth Pastor – and more recently Sunday School teacher – very seriously, replacing her in supervising a very intense game of tag. While Mountain minded the hay maze, Swiss was giving rides on the haycart he had hitched to the back of his tractor, driving the children and kits up and down the field in the warm afternoon sunshine.
After closing time, once the families had gone home, the ghouls had the place to themselves without getting in the way of the fun of the younger members of the community. Rain and Dew were the last ones left inside the maze. Aurora and Mist had quickly disappeared somewhere together, Sunny, Cirrus and Cumulus were deep into their mission of finishing off the cider now that their responsibilities were over, the three of them covered in rainbow paint and body glitter.
Dewdrop and Rain walked hand in hand through the maze, quietly drinking in each other’s company in the balmy evening air. Making it to the centre of the maze they sat down on a bale, surrounded by golden walls on all sides as the amber glow of sunset spread across the sky. Dew leaned his head on Rain’s shoulder, utterly content in the moment.
“It’s beautiful.” Rain commented, as they watched the play of colours around them. “Just like you.”
Dew turned his face to bury it in Rain’s neck, bashful.
“You are, and I’m so proud of you, taking over from Aeth like you did. You’re doing such a great job, love! Look at how the town and harvest are flourishing. I’m honoured to call you my husband.”
Never one to take compliments well, Dew redirected Rain’s affections by capturing his lips in a searing kiss. The pair lost themselves in each other, the cooling temperatures went unnoticed past the warmth of their bodies, the slight prickliness of the hay nothing compared to the soft slide of their lips.
By the time they came up for air, Dew having squirmed his way into Rain’s lap, the sky was glowing a deep russet colour. From outside the maze, they could hear the sounds of the others packing up to leave.
“Alright lovebirds, time to come out or I’ll send the dogs in!” they heard Swiss call. The pair only giggled, Rain placing feather-light kisses across Dew’s cheekbones while he blushed the colour of the sky.
“You don’t have a dog!” Dew hollered back as he struggled to hold in his giggles.
“Hi Dewy.” deadpanned Mountain.
Eventually, Dew and Rain managed to find their way out of the maze, neither wanting to be found and carried out by the giant earth ghoul.
“Nice straw hat, Rain.” smirked Swiss, “although normally you weave it into itself, not directly into your hair!”

BTS Dating Series #1: How You Meet Each Other
Members x Reader
Genre/Rate: 18+, fluff
Summary: The two of you meet for the first time.
Warnings: None to note. 
Author’s Note: This is the first part of the Dating Series! If you’ve read any of my other series in the past, you should be familiar with some of these storylines but I thought it’d be nice to go back to the beginning! Today is also the four year anniversary of when I started to write BTS fanfic on this blog so thank you to everyone who has supported me thus far! I love you all and hope you enjoy it!
Kim Seokjin
Tumblr media
“I really don’t understand why you’re dragging me here,” Jin huffed as his older brother dragged him to the door of a local flower shop.
“I’m telling you, you have to meet this girl!” Seok-joong insisted as he opened the door for the two of them to step inside. “She’s so sweet and nice and a looker too, if I do say so myself.”
“Ok, even if she is, don’t you think it’s kind of weird for you to bring a random guy in here to meet her?” Jin wondered.
“Once you see her, you’ll understand,” Seok-joong replied. The customer that had been standing at the counter turned around and walked away after receiving a small bouquet and Jin let out an involuntary gasp once he saw you. You had on a shirt that had the name of the flower shop embroidered onto it and you also were wearing an apron, but Jin thought you were the most gorgeous woman that he had ever set eyes on. 
“Told ya,” Seok-joong smirked when he saw how awe-struck his younger brother was. Jin didn’t pay him any attention though, instead moving over to you until he was standing at the counter. 
“Hello, do you have an order?” You asked and Jin shook his head as he leaned against the counter. 
“No but your gorgeous face is making me want to purchase every single flower in here,” he replied, and you felt your cheeks warming up in embarrassment. 
“Well, can I help you with anything?”
“Yeah, allow me the honor of taking you out on a date,” Jin said. 
“I’m sorry but I don’t even know you,” you responded. 
“That’s what a date is for!” Jin exclaimed. “We can get to know each other and if you decide you hate my guts, then no harm done.”
“I doubt that I’d hate your guts,” you laughed. 
“Ok, how about this? If I tell you a joke and you laugh, you have to let me take you out,” he suggested. “Ok?”
“Alright.
“What does the universe do when it wants to have a party?” He asked and you shrugged your shoulders. “They planet.” Despite your efforts to hold back, you couldn’t help the smile that broke out onto your face that was quickly followed by a loud giggle. “So, what do you say?”
“Ok, you can take me out,” you relented. 
“Great, we can exchange numbers?” Jin offered, smiling widely when you nodded in agreement. 
Min Yoongi
Tumblr media
“Hey, don’t look now,” your best friend, making you look up at her. “But Suga from BTS is checking you out.”
“Shut up,” you chuckled. “Where?”
“Over your shoulder, to your right,” she told you and trying to play it cool, you glanced over your right shoulder and sure enough, you saw him sitting at the bar with a glass of dark liquid in his hand. 
“Hm, he’s cuter in person than he is on TV,” you joked as you turned back to look at your best friend. 
“You’re terrible Y/N,” she laughed. “Oh shit, he’s headed this way.”
“Seriously?”
“Yep,” she nodded, sliding off of her stool and standing up straight. “I’m gonna let you have your moment but if he turns out to be a weirdo, don’t be afraid to yell, ok?”
“Alright,” you agreed before watching her walk away. As you went back to sipping your drink, you felt a sudden tap on your shoulder and when you turned your head to look, you saw him standing right in front of you. 
“Hello,” he said. “I’m Min Yoongi.”
“Y/N L/N,” you replied, extending your hand and shaking his that was already outstretched. “So, am I special to you or something?”
“Huh?”
“You introduced yourself as Min Yoongi and not Suga,” you told him. 
“Oh, well I always use my real name with important people,” he said. 
“And you think I’m gonna be important?”
“Let’s just say...I have a hunch,” he smirked. 
“Well, why don’t you buy me a drink so that we can test out that hunch?” You suggested and Yoongi nodded his head as he sat down on the stool next to you. 
Kim Namjoon
Tumblr media
“Hey, you almost ready?” Yoongi asked Namjoon as they stood backstage at a local underground hip hop club. “It’s almost time for us to go up.”
“Yeah, I’m ready,” Namjoon nodded. As a way to have some fun and as a little treat for whatever ARMYs might be in attendance, Namjoon and Yoongi had decided to go back to the underground hip hop club that they frequented pre-debut and do a set there. 
“Alright, how we feeling tonight?” The announcer asked the crowd, being met by large cheers. “As a special event, we have two of the rappers from the idol group BTS performing tonight so please, give them a round of applause!” Namjoon and Yoongi ran up onto the stage then, waving to the crowd that was up on their feet at the sight of the two men who were considered legends in the underground scene. 
“I’m Bangtan Sonyeondan’s Rap Monster,” Namjoon introduced himself. 
“I’m Bangtan Sonyeondan’s Suga,” Yoongi said before waving to the crowd. “We’re gonna do a few songs for you guys, if that’s alright?” The crowd cheered wildly and with that, the music started and the show began. As they performed, Namjoon couldn’t help but to notice a woman standing on the right side of the stage who was dancing along to the music, vibing and singing along to every lyric. Now, he always noticed the fans that had that type of energy but something else was drawing him towards you. 
What felt like all too soon to Namjoon, their set ended and the crowd went wild. As soon as they stepped off stage, Namjoon walked over to where you were standing, making your eyes widen when you noticed him approaching you. 
“Uh, hi,” Namjoon said awkwardly. 
“Hello,” you smiled.
“I couldn’t help but to notice you from the stage,” he murmured. “You’re familiar with our songs?”
“You could call me a fan,” you nodded. “And I saw how you kept looking over in my direction.”
“Well, would you maybe want to go out sometime?” Namjoon asked. “That is, if you want to, and if you’re single, and if-”
“I’d love to,” you cut him off, laughing at how shocked he looked to be cut off. “What day is good for you?”
Jung Hoseok
Tumblr media
"Y/N!" Your friend Seo-hyun exclaimed as she opened the door to her apartment.
"Hi Seo," you giggled as she surged forward and threw her arms around you in a hug. "Happy birthday."
"Thank you!" She smiled, letting you go and waving you into the apartment. You stepped inside, looking around to see that the party was well underway although it had only started an hour prior.
"Go mingle," Seo-hyun encouraged you. "I think Mina and Chaeyoung and the others are in the kitchen."
"Ok cool," you nodded with a smile and with a last one armed hug, you walked into the kitchen where sure enough, Mina and Chaeyoung and some of your other friends were hanging out.
"Hi Y/N!" Mina exclaimed.
"Hi guys," you greeted everyone, even though there were two new faces that you didn't recognize.
"Y/N-ah, this is Park Jimin and Jung Hoseok," Chaeyoung introduced them and you smiled.
"Hi," you said.
"Nice to meet you Y/N-ssi," Jimin replied.
"Yes, very nice to meet you," Hobi smirked, making you roll your eyes.
"Any drinks in here?" You asked Mina. "Work sucked today and I need some alcohol."
"I'll make you something," Mina giggled. As she set about making your drink, everyone else fell into conversation and you somehow ended up next to Hoseok.
"So, are you single?" Hobi wondered.
"You know, you could ask how I'm doing first," you shot back.
"Ok. How are you?" He asked and you raised an eyebrow at him.
"I'm...fine," you replied. "How are you?"
"Great, now that I've met you," he smirked and you couldn't help but to chuckle.
"Do other girls really fall for those lines?"
"Usually, most girls do," he admitted with a nod. "I'm a little surprised that they're not working on you though, not gonna lie."
"Here's your drink Y/N," Mina said as she handed you a cup. You took it from her, turning around to face Hoseok afterward.
"Well, I'm not most girls," you smirked before turning and walking out of the kitchen.
"Don't I know it?" Hobi smiled to himself.
Park Jimin
Tumblr media
“Jimin, let’s go over what we’re going to do in the next competition,” Hobi said but he stopped when he saw that Jimin was standing in place, seemingly frozen. “Jimin-ssi? Hello? Jiminie?”
“Huh?” Jimin said as he snapped out of his thoughts and looked over at Hobi. “Oh, sorry hyung. What were you saying?”
“I was talking about the competition but something else clearly has your attention,” Hobi chuckled. 
“Not something hyung, but someone,” Jimin murmured, motioning with his head over to his right. When Hobi looked over, he saw you talking to a member of Twice but he had never seen you before so he figured that you might be a part of their management or something. One thing he did know though: you were absolutely gorgeous.
“Holy shit,” Hobi muttered. “She’s beautiful.”
“So beautiful,” Jimin nodded and Hobi could recognize that lovesick look from anywhere. 
“Go talk to her,” Hobi encouraged. 
“I can’t! What if she’s working?” Jimin shot back. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, Hobi walked over to where you were now standing alone.
“Hello, I’m j-hope from BTS and my member and dongsaeng over there, Jimin,” Hobi said as he pointed over his shoulder. “He thinks you’re gorgeous and wants to talk to you, but he’s too worried that you’re working.”
“I’m not working,” you giggled. “Tell him to come over here.”
“Great,” Hobi grinned before turning around and walking back to Jimin. “She’s not working and she wants to talk to you too o go for it.”
“Thanks hyung,” Jimin sighed before walking over to you. “Hello, I’m Park Jimin.”
“Y/N L/N,” you replied. 
“So, are you just a fan of Twice then?” He wondered, motioning to the Twice lightstick in your hand. 
“Kind of,” you confirmed. “Jihyo and I have been friends since we were kids so I came to support them.”
“Well, I saw you over here and thought you were gorgeous,” he gushed, making you smile. “Do you think, maybe, you’d want to go out with me sometime?”
“Sure,” you nodded. “I’d like that, Jimin-ssi.”
Kim Taehyung 
Tumblr media
“Come on Y/N!” Your friend, Yoona, whined. 
“I said no,” you chuckled. 
“But this guy is perfect for you!” She exclaimed. “He’s funny and unique and nice and kind of out there, if I’m being honest.”
“Oh wow, sounds exactly like the opposite of what my type is,” you laughed. 
“Well, that can be a good thing,” Yoona shot back. “And besides, after your last boyfriend, it’s probably a good idea for you to go outside of your comfort zone.”
“Yoona.”
“Just give the guy a chance,” she begged. “Please?”
“Fine,” you relented to her excited squeals. “Do I at least get to know who this guy is?”
“Nope because if I tell you, you won’t go,” she replied. “Just trust me, please.”
“Alright,” you replied wearily. That’s how exactly how you found yourself walking into an upscale restaurant in Seoul four days later, dressed impeccably. 
“Hello, reservation for Kim at 7:30?” You said to the maître d and he nodded before leading you through the restaurant and to a table in the back of the room. Sitting there, to your disbelief, was Kim Taehyung, who was better known as V from BTS. 
“Holy shit,” you uttered and Taehyung chuckled as he stood up from the table. “Is this a joke?”
“Are you Y/N?” He asked, waiting until you nodded your head to continue. “Well, then it’s not a joke.”
“You’re Yoona’s friend?” You huffed. 
“That I am,” Taehyung confirmed. “If this is too weird for you, you don’t have to stay.”
“No, no, I’m just surprised,” you chuckled. “But I’ll stay.”
“Good,” Taehyung smirked. “Because I’d love to get to know you.”
Jeon Jungkook 
Tumblr media
So, who's all coming today?" You asked your friend Hyoyeon as you both stood outside of Lotte World, waiting for your other friends to arrive.
"The usual people," she shrugged. "Soo-jung, Jaehyun, Byung-soo, Sung-wan, and Yerim. Oh, and Jungkook."
"Jungkook?" You echoed. "Jeon Jungkook, from BTS? The super shy one?" You knew of Jungkook, seeing as though the two of you went to the same high school. However, due to his commitments to the group, he was never there often.
"Yep, that one," Hyoyeon confirmed.
"He doesn't seem like the hangout type," you murmured. "He was always super shy in school."
"Well, he was also never there," Hyoyeon pointed out. "I'd be nervous in a place that I barely went to as well. But don't worry, Jaehyun said that he's cool once you get to know him."
"Alright," you shrugged. Just then, a large group of people came bounding up to you and you instantly recognized them as your friends. You all exchanged greetings and once you got to Jungkook, you smiled before bowing slightly at him.
"Hello," you greeted happily. "I'm Y/N."
"I remember, from school," Jungkook smiled as he bowed to you. "Jeon Jungkook."
"I remember," you repeated, making him chuckle. As you looked him over, Jungkook definitely seemed different than what you remembered him as. In school, he was always shrugging in on himself, almost as if he were trying to make himself disappear and he hadn't fully grown into his facial features either. Now, he stood tall (and tall he was) and squared his shoulders as he greeted everyone with what was possibly the brightest smile you had ever seen in your life.
For Jungkook, you were just as beautiful as he remembered you to be. He'd see you around school and he always thought that you were gorgeous when you listened animatedly to the things that your friends had to say. He would try to work up the courage to talk to you but he never seemed to be able to and before he knew it, you both graduated and he never saw you again.
Until today.
"So, who's ready to go have fun?!" Soo-jung exclaimed and everyone cheered as you headed towards the entrance. As you all did, Jungkook grabbed onto Jaehyun's shirt sleeve and pulled him back in order to whisper to him.
"What's the deal on Y/N?" He wondered and Jaehyun looked at him quizzically.
"What do you mean?"
"Is she single, or seeing someone?" Jungkook elaborated.
"Oh," Jaehyun laughed in understanding. "No, she's single but I don't know if you wanna go barking that tree up."
"Why not?"
"Y/N can be very....outspoken and opinionated and I don't know if she'd be willing to talk to you in that way," Jaehyun explained.
"Why not?" Jungkook questioned. "I'm not as shy as I used to be!"
"No, I know but still," Jaehyun shrugged. "Look, if you wanna try to talk to her, go for it. All I'm saying is don't be surprised if it doesn't work out." As Jaehyun turned and ran to catch up with the group, Jungkook couldn't help but to smile to himself.
"Oh, I'm gonna go for it alright," Jungkook muttered to himself before jogging after his friends.

The Stranger Things Q&A panel at a convention today (actors of Chrissy, Alexei and Karen)
I was not able to ask any questions, sorry guys! The queue was long and I dislike crowds a lot so I avoided it. However, the panel host pointed at me when talking about the cosplay in the fandom and complimented my cosplay- people clapped! Except she said "oh my goodness chips ahoy!" (I am a Robin cosplayer) and I am in fact not cosplaying chips ahoy.
I've included most answers here, nothing really about S5 though except confirmation that filming begins in June for Cara, what they'd like to happen and no Byler. There was a lot for the Hellcheer shippers as well since Grace got asked about that. There were a few questions they refused to answer, most of which were about their fellow cast members. Except for when the crowd wanted to kill Mike when asked which of the party should die (bit harsh). One person said Will and Grace was outraged.
Cara (Karen)
Her daughter cosplays anime
Audition - started in 2015, in person followed by a series of auditions, only one to meet Duffers before set
Huge Walking Dead fan, loves Star Trek, anime vicariously through child, Genshin Impact
Likes the nostalgic bits - happy it's introducing 80s music to younger generation
Favorite part to act was the scene where she first met Billy as it was fun to shoot and they were laughing between takes
Cara never learnt to swim so had to get lessons to film a shot of backstroke in S3
Sad that Benny died, as well as Eddie and Chrissy because she wonders what could've been
Her daughter was 2 when she started stranger things so she grew up with the cast and it's bittersweet to see kids grow
Thinks pineapples DO belong on pizza
Wants Angela to die in S5 (because she's mean) with a whack to the face from another roller skate
S5 shooting begins in June!
She was surprised at how gruesome Chrissy's death was even though she'd read it in the script but thought it served as a good departure from previous seasons
Carnival scene was best location to film on as they built a carnival and you could go on the rides when it wasn't being filmed
Grace (Chrissy)
Audition - sent in a tape, only had to try once because she was the only one to play her nice
Grace is a big Doctor Who fan, particularly number 10
Would be a demodog if she could play anyone else
Favorite part of shooting was working with Joe Quinn as he's super talented and fun
Most stressful scene to shoot was running from Vecna (crying, screaming, running, etc was exhausting) especially since Jamie Campbell Bowers walks super slowly
Would kill Vecna to save Eddie
She thinks Eddie and Chrissy would've been together but says that "they are [together] now" (💀💀) which got a huge laugh
Says third season is the best
Would be a potato if she could be a food
Not tired of Chrissy Wake Up. Was asked to sing Chrissy Wake Up but she didn't
Was nervous people would be glad she died so she'd be out of the way so was pleased people love Chrissy
Dear Billy (04x04) is the best episode in her opinion
Thinks pineapples don't belong on pizza
Enjoyed dying for the first time but actually found it hard to watch. They wouldn't let her keep snapped Chrissy to hang from her ceiling
Alec (Alexei)
Audition - just generic scenes, wrote the character around him
Big anime fan (Demon Slayer, Hunter X Hunter)
Says the 80s nostagia shows the power of music (and marketing)
Favorite people to work with were David and Winona (mother and father figure of set)
Favorite part to shoot was the scenes with the slushies. It was cherry "because it was in the script" (he was asked why he chose a cherry slushie)
Would be "Cool Dustin" if he could have played anyone else (he is his favorite character, loved Gaten's performance from S1 as he's unique)
First shot outside of Murray's house was very scary to film as he wanted to impress the cast
He says the first season is the best season
It was unexpected that people clung on to his character and the reaction from social media although he did anticipate people would be sad from the death
Doesn't want Eddie to come back, says more main characters should die
So that's that! I got to speak to Cara as well and she was lovely, I'll be seeing them later today as well for photos/autographs (:

INFO DUMP ABOUT X MEN OC SBN OW
AAAAAAAA OKOK
This is gonna be just the most basic rundown of all of them cause there's many and if I went in detail about them we'd be here forever
Alkali Ashford
Alkali was my first x men OC. Her ability is turning into dinosaurs. In her regular form, she has stripes and a tail, so she needs one of the camouflage watch things. She's besties with Kurt, but her arc is sort of opposite to his in the sense that while he wants to fit in and hide who he is, she wants to stand out and let the world know who she is. She's very fun I love her. Also fun fact this is the character that got me in trouble in that one rp server I mentioned a few nights ago, where they yelled at me because they decided shapeshifters aren't allowed only after I submitted her. They hate her because she's too swag for them to handle
Milo
This guy and the next character are basically recycled versions of ooold old OCs of mine. Milo has two water serpent things that he can control. He starts out kinda scared of them because, unlucky for him he has a fear of water due to almost drowning as a child. But overtime he learns to appreciate them
Marigold
Other aforementioned old recycled OC. Her mutation is physical in the sense that she has cat ears and angel wings, so she also needs a camouflage watch. However unlike Kurt and Alkali, she never really faced a lot of discrimination growing up because her mutation is considered beautiful by most (There's lots of angel devil comparisons with Marigold and Kurt it's so fun it's so fun). She's known Milo since they were kids because she is the one who saved him from drowning. They're dating now. Ew romance
Peter Maximoff
"Peg that's not an OC" yeah so I made an Evo version of Peter because I was STUPIDLY obsessed with this man in like 2021 idk what was wrong with me. Anyway he's the twins' half brother and I have yet to figure out what happened between Erik and his mom. He has a really dumb rivalry with Pietro its so funny
Ezekiel
Or Zeke for short. His thing is seeing and talking to ghosts. Lance recruits him to the Brotherhood for all of two seconds before Zeke befriends Kurt and jumps over to the X Men instead. He also dates Kurt later so i can live in my RogueKitty delusions but shhh
Indigo
These next few are part of the new mutant squad. Indigo's power is bringing drawings to life and she has a fun sibling relationship with Peter. They're also a little bit Too wiling to commit murder
Niko
Also a recycled old OC. He has a snake that sticks out of his back. Not much more to him yet, he just has a snake
Ozzy
Cool guy who turns into a fish person when in the water. May or may not have been inspired by Luca. Also for anyone who knows my habit of making Harry Osborn inspired OCs and naming them Ozzi. This guy is not one of the Harry clones, he came way before the raimi fixation attacked me and dragged me to hell
Markus Lang
Member of the X Men and one of the mentors alongside Ororo and Logan. He can turn into a dragon. He might end up dating Logan idk I think they'd be silly together
Gwen Ashford
Alkali's adopted younger sister who has rock powers. She's part of The Brotherhood and she is an absolute menace to society
Wyatt Elsher
This guy is able to turn into like a goop furry thing and I'm being so honest to god I based him off the fucking Transfur Outbreak game on roblox. Embarrassing. Anyway he was childhood friends with Marigold and lived in her old neighborhood, and I imagine initially his mutation was just becoming some sort of werewolf thing. Then he got sent to this lab place that claimed they'd 'cure' him but ended up fucking him up. So now he's goop. He also joins the Brotherhood and has a rivalry with Marigold
Harper
Regular ass human girl who Alkali meets at a party and falls head over heels in love with her. She also sort of adopts Kurt into her friend group after the mutants get exposed, seeing he's alone now and wanting to help him. She does guess he's also a mutant, but she's fine with it
Thats all of em!! It's entirely possible I'll make more soon, but this is who I got right now. I also have like the crumbs of a fic for these guys on wattpad but it has like one chapter that was written in 2021 and also features very shitty old art. If yall want it though I'll link it. I do plan on working on it again eventually

Character Info - Lazulai Cantor
Tumblr media
General Info
Name: Lazulai Cantor
Nicknames:
• Laz
• Princess of Tyrion (title)
• Goddess (by Connor)
Pronouns: She/Her
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual
Species: Tyrion
Place Of Birth: Tyrion
Current Home: Cantor Palace, Tyrion
Appearance
Lazulai has a cool, darker skin tone along with ocean blue eyes and long cyan hair that she likes to style in waves that flow down to her lower back. She often wears dresses and accessories befitting of a princess, usually in blue, black or silver
Personality
Lazulai is a very sweet and empathetic person who is also engrossed with the arts; everything fascinates and intrigues her and her optimistic side often shines through here, with her being the most bubbly and extroverted of her siblings. Her curiosity and creativity drew her to Nordsvark, who nurtured her love of stories and inspired her to come up with her own worlds and stories, albeit purely fictional ones. Out of all the characters, Lazulai is definitely the most ‘Disney princess’ out of all of them
Likes:
• Reading and writing
• Watching Sy’s design process/sketches
• Spending time with friends and family
Dislikes:
• Being stuck inside for too long
• Being alone
• “I don’t need to jot this story idea down, I’ll remember it later”
Known Abilities
• Flight - Like all Tyrions, Lazulai is able to fly using her retractable wings
• Illusions - Like all Tyrions, Lazulai is able to cast mirage illusions, as well as holographic illusions due to her higher skillset
• Lazulai is also learning to use a spear. It’s not going well
Relationships
Family:
• Aegis Cantor (father)
• Anessa Cantor (older sister)
• Sy Cantor (younger sibling)
• Mullo Cantor (younger brother)
• Nordsvark Attolus (mentor, considers him an uncle figure)
Friends/Allies:
• Angelus (party member)
• Enigma (party member)
• Kennedy (party member)
• Connor Warden (party member)
• Ellegaarde (attends Ellegaarde’s classes sometimes)
• Persephone Foster (Sy’s friend with some shared interests)
Enemies: N/A
Backstory
Lazulai is the second-born to Aegis Cantor, and as such is second in line to the throne of Tyrion. While Aegis has still made a point of preparing her as a precautionary heir, he strongly respects her disinterest in ruling Tyrion and has encouraged her fascination with Paracosm and Nordsvark’s creations, combining her training with her interests by involving her in all his business regarding Nordsvark and Paracosm
Lazulai has always been content with her life in the palace, spending her days reading, writing or wandering the gardens. One of her favourite pastimes, however, is to sit with Sy while they both work on their creative projects, especially when one can inspire the other. With Mullo being disinterested in spending time with his siblings and Anessa often being busy with preparing for rule, Sy is often the one she turns to for family time
Fun Facts
• Nordsvark intends to make Lazulai his heir, but hasn’t had the chance to say it to her or Aegis yet
• Lazulai is the only one of the main five who would never swear under any circumstance
• Lazulai knows who Angelus is

Hi, I hope you don’t mind me asking, but how would The Party react when they see or meet Vance because I’m curious? Also I love your headcanons of Billy and Vance
So, in my head Vance is about ten years younger than Billy. I don’t know the exact age when Billy’s mom left him, but that seems to line up with when Vance was conceived. Billy is ~25/26 when he meets Vance for the first time with Vance being ~15/16. The older teens would be in their mid-20s along with Billy by then, and the younger ones would be in their early 20s. Vance is very much The Baby. (Also, yes I know that TBP takes place in an earlier era… but this is my crossover and I make the rules!)
Anyway.
Max is less of a step-sister, and more of a cool aunt vibe wise. She will drive Vance to the arcade, but also whoop his ass at the machines and piss Vance off. Then they’ll go have burgers and milkshakes later with Lucas at a diner. When Lucas heard about Max having another ‘step-brother’ (they debated extensively about how, exactly, they should explain Vance’s relation yet lack of relation to Max), he didn’t know what to expect but he kind of should have known what to expect. In fact, when he meets Vance for the first time, he says, “I don’t know what I was expecting” and Vance stands there with a sourpuss look on his face rocking denim on denim just like Billy. But. Vance is kind of a nerd underneath everything so Lucas is able to bond with him a bit over Star Trek. (Vance will not admit to watching that shit to anyone else, though).
Eleven is Hopper’s daughter, still, of course. It kind of makes her and Vance cousins? Eleven is very happy about having more family. I mean, technically with Hopper and Joyce settling down and Steve and Billy getting together, it’s like Eleven, Will, Jonathan, Billy, and Max are all one big happy family (in her mind) with Vance linking them together so it’s fate or whatever. Vance thinks she’s a bit out-there, and Eleven thinks Vance is a sensitive boy just like Billy. Despite her strange personality, Vance likes spending time with her whenever he needs some time away from Billy and Steve. Will is away finishing up college and Jonathan travels doing photography, but they meet Vance during the holidays. Vance is relegated to the kids table during holiday meals, but that includes the party members still even though they’re young adults so that’s when the majority of them meet him.
Billy and Vance are teased non-stop about their similarities, and much to Billy’s dismay Vance is regaled with tales about Billy’s youth that could easily be used for blackmail later. Vance tries to enjoy himself but gets easily overstimulated at these ‘family gatherings.’ Steve gets that. It took a while for Billy to warm up to these things and even though being surrounded by family is what Steve always wanted, he’s not used to it either. So, they scoot out early and go home and relax. When Vance feels more comfortable with them, he’ll watch movies with Billy and Steve on the weekend. Dustin moved to be closer to his girlfriend, but sometimes comes to visit. When he does, he stays with them too which annoys the crap out of Billy so naturally Vance prepares to be annoyed by him, too, but really he’s just goofy and asks a lot of questions to get to know him. Steve has always made Dustin feel safe and Vance is starting to understand why.
Steve is not as naturally “parental” as people assume. He’s really trying to figure out this whole “raising a teenage (former) foster kid” thing. Trying to balance being someone Vance can trust but also someone who can set and enforce boundaries. Billy’s better at that part and Steve thinks that Billy is trying to compensate for the lack of good parenting he got. Be the parent he needed, and not just the one he wanted. But there’s layers of conflict there. Billy not loving Vance right away. Billy being jealous of him because his mom left him to have Vance. Billy having a better relationship with Max now, but knowing he already struggled dealing with one surprise sibling. Billy trying to figure out if he should be more like a sibling or more like a parent, and how that triggers frustrations over being parentified in the past as an older sibling and how it’s happening all over again. But this time Steve is here, and Steve’s trying his best to manage the chaos.
Those are just some thoughts I have.

What is avantasia relationship like with each family member (plus ches and lif)
yippee my first ask here!!!! thx for the ask <3
Avantasia's Relationships with her family, Uncle Ches, and Lif
Dee
polar opposites of each other, almost like they're clones of their parents.
these two have been headbutting each other since they were in the womb.
not a day would pass w/o these two fighting over the smallest things. snacks, the bathroom, who did what, etc. on rare occasions, the two would throw hands at each other.
"You ate my limited-edition spicy ramen imported from Korea, didn't you?!" *has some sauce on his lips* "Ionknow." "DON'T 'iOnkNOw' ME!! IT WAS EITHER YOU OR HEAVY!!"
Dee is jealous of Ava's musical talents and her ability to make friends easily, while Ava is jealous of Dee's quick thinking and his ability to control his emotions.
But they do care for each other.
Dee has to remind Ava to take breaks from practicing, and Ava has to reassure Dee from their dad's harsh but honest words.
Twin Telepathy™️
*giving an intense scowl.* "Don't you fucking do it." *grinning menecingly.* "Watch me, bitch."
Dee is overprotective of Ava. He still treats her as if she were still little, though he's 9 minutes older.
If there's anyone in a room and they have to discuss something in private, they have their own language to communicate (They made it up when they were kids. It's basically Gibberish.)
Heavy
She loves Heavy to death and will kill anyone who hurts him and herself.
Heavy looks up to her as a role model and is always in awe every time she plays her euphonium or any other instrument.
"So with the euphonium, you can blow your lips onto that and play a note?!" "More like buzzing your lips on the mouth piece, but yeah." "That's so cool!! I wanna try!!"
Ava teaches Heavy how to defend himself with all of the fighting skills passed down from their mom.
Most, if not all, of them end with Heavy crying and Ava trying her best to calm him down.
Homework with Heavy... Good God, Ava tries her best not to screech whenever he gets something wrong. She is helping him, though. It's better letting her help than Dee or Glam.
If she's not doing anything other than practicing music, then they just hangout together. Doing pranks, going on bike rides, watching movies...
"Avaaaa!!! Can we go to Curlton's and TP his neighbor's place?!" "Yeah yeah, give me a minute, Heavs."
He tries his best to defend his older sister from bullies (and fails), leaving Ava to fend off herself (successfully).
Glam
He's both a mentor and a father to Ava.
Glam switches from loving father to stern music teacher quickly every time she enters his office.
Checking on her instrument, fundamental techniques, tone production, scales, reading and playing difficult music, practicing techniques... It's all there.
He's even pressuring her to go to a conservatory and be the best of the best. Just like how his father did.
"Ava, you are breathing through the rests. Do it again" *huffs* "At least give me a few seconds to breathe, Dad..." "Not possible if you are auditioning or on stage."
Ava grits her teeth and tries not to get an outburst in front of him. Her head gets dizzy from buzzing her lips for hours on end.
But still, Glam still views Ava as his little angel.
He absolutely adored dressing her up in cute dresses and putting her hair up in pigtails when she was younger! (Ava hated every second of it.)
He starts to become aware when Ava is at "that age" when boys start to come to her. His piercing stares and eerie smiles start to become more and more intense whenever his daughter is even NEAR a boy.
Ava gets stressed out whenever she's with her dad in public, both because of his expectations and that he's just so lovey-dovey towards her.
"Yes, my dear Ava is the sweetest! I remember when she and Dee used to have tea parties all the time when they were little!" "Dad... please stop."
Victoria
They're besties!!!
Ava has looked up to her mom all of her life. This is how a REAL woman is like!
She's a mini version of her mom, only more controlled with her emotions and smarter.
Growing up, she was spooked that her daughter was gonna grow up to be one of those "girly girls." She's relieved that Ava grew up exactly like she did; playing with bugs and mud and hating dolls and dresses.
Teaching Ava how to ride a motorcycle was... an experience.
"So... this is the ignition??" "Wha- No, Ava. THAT'S the hand clutch. Now don't grip on it too hard-" BRRRRRRRRROOOM!! "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
Needless to say, Ava was scared of motorcycles for a while.
Since she was a toddler, Vicky has been teaching Ava how to fight. Glam was a bit concerned about his wife's teaching methods.
She's proud to say that her daughter is as mighty and strong as her. She's even prouder when she's stronger than her brothers and other boys!
"Guess what mom? I gave those dickheads who were harassing me the other day intense purple nurples." "That's my girl!"
Ches
Ava enjoys Uncle Ches' company, even when he's spewing nonsense about GMILFs.
She and Dee visit his record shop weekly to check out new CDs and vinyls. Also to check up on him and how he's doing.
Ches, on the rare occasions when his mind is right, gives his niece some helpful music and life advice.
"Heyyy Ava, let the music speak for ya... Play the hell outta that lil' tuba." "It's called a euphonium, Uncle Ches."
Whenever Ches recalls his times with WhoAreThoseFreaksOnstage, Ava is emersed in the stories of him and her dad being rising rockstars.
She's even surprised whenever Ches recalls him and Glam's early days at the conservatory.
Lif
Ava sees Lif as her first "real" friend, since she's been relying on her brothers as friends throughout her life.
They get along well! They make playlists for each other, hangout at the graveyard, even Lif drew a bunch of portraits of Ava!
Dee is very fucking jealous of his sister by this point.
"Dude! That looks so fucking rad!!" "Aw, thanks! Maybe you can show me some of your drawing talents?" "Haha... It's been a while since I've last drew something."
Ava teases the hell out of Dee about his crush. She even says that she will steal Lif from him (As a joke...?)
Not only does Dee have to worry about Heavy, but Ava too, being close to Lif... This is War.

HELLO I am tossing you a card to talk about an OC (or multiple OCs) of your choice >:D
oh oops i forgot to reply to this. too busy figuring out what oc to do.
ACTUALLY since i've been thinking about them nonstop, i'm gonna talk about my tmm ocs that have existed for like six wholeass years. back when the reboot was just a dream...anyway i love these kids i'm gonna shove razz in a locker.
also tsu i have NO clue if you've watched/read tokyo mew mew so if you haven't this is gonna make like no sense. whoops. (go watch it it's good) (or at least read that one post where i ranted about how funny the love interest is i love him)
OKAY so. fuck what were my notes. basic premise is that this takes place in an au where the original series' villains were like a scouting party that everyone rEFUSED to listen to back home ("uh hey yeah this is a bad idea they kicked our asses and kinda stockholm-syndromed our boss? also they're kinda cool ngl" "fuck you we're invading anyway") and now there are like. a LOT of aliens. and thus a lot of mew teams. it's an ongoing problem with the expected outcomes (which is to say sometimes people die). this is an abbreviated version it's fine who cares.
SO THE CHILDREN. if you're curious they don't have to be all girls it's just kinda how they spawned. presented in approximate join order also not including the characters who aren't on the team when the story is going. extra reblog either later tonight or tomorrow because this is a bit of an unreliable narrator situation?
Melanie Rasley (Mew Raspberry, or Razz for short; grabbed her codename from her surname hehehe) is the team's de facto leader, in that she's been here the longest and the last leader trusted her to be responsible. (Horrible decision, Cocoa.) Pink! Got DNA from the Danube Crested Newt apparently! Fights with a mace! Kinda what you'd expect from a team leader in a magical girl series; bubbly, maybe a bit clumsy, but determined to do what's right and keep her city safe from both the invading aliens and whoever on their team is working against them! ...or so she presents herself, anyway.
Sarah Brighton (Mew Blueberry, or Blue for short! her hair was dyed blue when she joined) is the team's second-in-command, not because she's dating Razz (though she is) but because she's one of the more responsible team members. Got DNA from the Halmahera Blossom Bat, which means she gets sweet bat wings! I gave her a sword for reasons that even past!Chel doesn't remember! But honestly I trust her with that. Usually found keeping the rest of the team in line.
Evelyn Britt (Eve for short, or you can call her Mew Plum. She just liked that idea.) god her notes are so small. Actually the oldest of the group, though her temper would have you believe otherwise. Got DNA from the Wattled Guan, which past!Chel informs me is a bird of some sort. Fights entirely fisticuffs which is honestly the outcome I was hoping for when I went back to read these notes. As stated, she's pretty hot-headed and very stubborn, which are actually pretty solid qualities for a magical girl in these situations to have.
Cecilia Emerson (Mew Cotton Candy, though you should call her CC!) has my FAVORITE design because I picked her designated food on the idea that i could give her afro puffs. Also she has two theme colors because she deserves it. Got DNA from the Black-Footed Cat, which means she gets kitty ears and a tail, but doesn't explain how she fights with a fluffy fan. (Wind magic?) She's the youngest on the team; actually, she's technically younger than any respectable Mew team would normally allow (she's 13 and they prefer Mews to be 16+), but they made an exception for her. Sometimes Razz complains that she's not taking it seriously, since she's usually the one trying to drag the rest of them into Fun Bonding Time, but CC's plenty mature.
Kaylee Merill (Mew Kale! Wonder where she got her name) is the newest member, recruited to fill the gap left by their former leader (a Career Mew who got sent to help rebuild a team elsewhere). Got DNA from the African Wild Dog, so she got dog ears and a tail! (Chel Fact: tiny!Chel's tmm-sona got this one too <3) Kinda nervous due to being the newbie and also just general anxiety, but definitely eager to help out, especially since she's a bio nerd and generally fascinated by the science going on with the Mews. Unfortunately, this does kinda make her suspicious while everyone tries to figure out who's causing problems behind the scenes...

ugh youre such a dream thank you for such detailed answers! its so appreciated and i feel as fresh as coming into the fandom all hopeful in summer 2022, up for discussing!
re this: '[wills'] sexuality is less explored in regard to the most baseline aspects of being gay. Is it infantilizing because he's our cute sweet little victim? Is it because he has yet to actually pursue his love interest in the narrative? I'm still working on pondering this myself!! Because it isn't at all how I viewed his situation or character.'
would LOVE to hear more thoughts on this, because i too have not figured it out. tbh, the whole party growing up was a hard pill to swallow at first cos its bittersweet, but it never made me deny will's character a coming of age arc or sexuality arc. i was like - welp, its happening, whether im sad or not that theyre no longer babies. infantilisation makes sense though - i even had non-fan friends who watch the show assume that will was a few grades below the other boys, and much younger.
perhaps for many, they can't accept his growing up because it's reflective of change in general, of the show coming to an end, changing? this is narrative the show itself explores, though - beautifully, i might add.
but i would love to know what your original thoughts on will's character and this storyline prior to all this spicy policing were! how did you view his growing up? was a sexuality storyline inevitable for you?
One thing I never fully understood is the general unease or being uncomfortable thinking about members of the party "growing up" and now viewing them in a different light, meaning getting involved in genuine teenage experiences like sex etc etc et al. I guess I just do find that frustrating sometimes when my view is: everyone grows up, we're there. Hit with: "but we saw them as kids! We watched them grow up! It's weird!" But WHY? I want people to explain why. Stupid analogy, but I think of how dumb it would be if my bf saw some home movie of me as a little kid and turned to me to say "well, unfortunately I can't fuck you anymore. Turns out, you were at one point - a child!" 😂 it sounds like that to me though!!!
Yeah we can still see our cute little babies s1 but we can also watch s5 and appreciate the journey, the coming of age. That's what's gonna make stranger things such a cool show, watching the actual journey from childhood to after (didnt Linklater film Boyhood over a decade to capture growing up in real time? Cool idea, never saw it). It's like any child star in the Hollywood industry. Miley was on Disney but then she started her adult career and were people initially odd about it having a pretty sexual angle? Yeah. Then everyone had to get over it. I acknowledge and understand the adjustment period, but it's frustrating in fandom for these boys that at large it's such a hang up. And, they're fictional. I know the irl actors portraying them plays into all this but... still.
(Then we got the M'leave-hers out here wanting Mike and El to get married and start having babies in s5 while we can't even talk about byler having a heated makeout or joke about Mike checking out Will's ass without pitchforks thrown our way. Booo)
As for what I thought for the shows trajectory, I did always hope we'd get an exploration of Will's sexuality as time went on. I really thought that was built into his character from the beginning (and it was and I was right) like it's one of the first things we learn about this little boy, with what Lonnie thought of him ☹️. I always wanted to see what they actually did with that and now it'll be a really, really incredible payoff if he does Get the Boy. I wasn't even really thinking too hard about byler back then but I can't even describe how heartbreaking that little moment when he tells Joyce "I'm not gonna fall in love" is in context, just... it always gets to me. S4 was a game changer and seeing what they were doing with Will and Mike? Hooked me. Decided to actually look into the fandom as something I wanted to engage w beyond just TV and the occasional pretty gifset or funny interview clip I came across on my dash or theories on reddit - shock and awe when eventually I saw how the vocal asshole fans acted. Debates and witch hunts over how far just a kissing scene can go? Sad.
Byler is great, byler is cute and palatable until you acknowledge that gay teenagers feel desire and maybe have sex, woah! People were even weird about aged up fic and art and everything! Still stumped to an extent about it. Our canon gay character (two, actually, just yet to be hmmm canonized lol) gets the sanitized treatment while Steve and Eddie and all their fanon post 7000 E rated fics w little complaint. (Finding out that was actually as popular as it is really shocked me?) I'd celebrate that and care about them more if the differences weren't so annoying. Just because of the age thing. Oh, get over it. Wish I'd taken a stand from the beginning and just did what I wanted without feeling awkward and going with the status quo. Lame. But maybe this is better, so much nicer having complete openness and a relative fresh start.

oh shit I didn’t mean to press ask already 😭😭 but anywayyy could u pls write ennard, toy bonnie, Funtime foxy and springtrap general fluff?? (Separate pls) 🤔🤔 like fluffy things and moments with the reader (fem) thank uuuuuu x
Yea! Just keep in mind these are all purely platonic.
.........
Ennard
In their hunt for Michael after he escaped (fake ending au), they winded up in your house somehow. 
They were afraid to be “put back” again but you reassured them they can be your roommate/friend after Baby explained the situation.
Realizing they didn’t need to look like a human to get along with one, they agree to stay with you.
You’ll help them find circus-themed stuff while shopping, including clothes to keep their endoskeleton protected from the elements.
And you may fix up their mask so it’s not so plain with paint from the party store.
If anyone in your neighborhood asks, Ennard is your engineering project.
With time Baby slowly puts her devious plan out of mind, forgetting about Michael and William and just being glad she’s free.
The rest of the gang couldn’t agree more, relieved that they can stop hurting people.
Toy Bonnie
He’s always happy to see you walk in the pizzeria!
If you brought your kids/younger family members he’ll hope that he’s their favorite, or if you just came to say hello yourself he’ll be flattered.
“Of course they/you love me! I’m the real star of the show, after all~!” He’ll boast proudly.
Although he’s programmed to interact with kids more he’ll be just as sweet to you, chatting with you when he’s not on stage or meeting other kids.
You’ve started calling him “Cottontail” out of habit.
If you have the misfortune of taking the nightshift, he’ll try his hardest to restrain from attacking you and block other animatronics from getting inside the vent.
Even when his corrupted criminal programming makes him aggressive to adults, he still tries to be sweet to you. He knows you’re good even when it tries telling him otherwise.
Funtime Foxy
They’re def soaking up the attention you give him.
Not that they already don’t do that with everyone who watches his shows, but you are especially sweet to them.
And the fox is sweet right back to you! He’s quite the charmer (and even a bit flirtatious when Baby and Ballora aren’t looking).
Once he presented a rose to you from his chest compartment.
It was a paper one and not the real deal, but you still appreciated the gesture regardless.
Whenever you visit them, you’ll always keep it tucked in your hair, behind your ear, or in your shirt pocket.
Springtrap
Despite being a decayed rabbit with a corpse literally falling apart inside of him..you decided to befriend him.
He doesn’t know if you’re that oblivious or just didn’t care about the crimes he committed all those years ago. You just wanted to be his friend.
So he plays along, walking around Fazbear’s Fright with you and sharing stories of his time in the suit (when he was alive) and his own demise in it.
He laughs so much he nearly chokes when you tell him “oh yeah must be cool to wear a suit all the time”.
“Not...really, love...would you want your...pretty face to look like....mine?”
He pulls apart the jaws to reveal his fleshy skull.
Aside from the stench of death and decay, you just say “looks rough buddy” and shrug.

Being Marisha Ray’s Younger Sibling | Critical Role cast x child reader
Summary | I was going to write bing adopted by Travis and Laura did this instead.
Genre | platonic, fluff
You are the younger sibling of Marisha Ray, (y/n) Jude Huber, and your big sister absolutely adores you.
Despite the huge age gap and distance between your lives, your big sister is your best friend.
Chances are she’s bragging about you to the rest of the Critical Role cast a lot. (They already consider you an honorary member before they’ve even formally met you.)
There’s no doubt about it, your Matt’s favorite little Critter.
If Marisha doesn’t introduce you to DnD, Matt will, and if she does, Matt will “properly” introduce you.
You can bet each time Matt and Marisha visit, you're inviting all your little friends for a kid friendly one shot at least once during their stay. (Matt will swear a party of grade schoolers is easier to manage than the Crit team)
You definitely braid Matt’s hair at least once.
You might not be able to watch the live stream because it’s past your bedtime, but Marisha definitely sends you the highlights over the weekend.
You absolutely adore your big sister, nonetheless you also love hoodies. Marisha might be fuck sleeves, but you are fuck tanks.
Your parents and Marisha situate so that during school breaks such as summer or spring break, etc you're able to stay in California with Matt and your sister.
Which leads to your first in person introduction to the rest of the Critical Role staff.
(You’re five the first time you meet them in person and they’re just starting arc five of campaign one.)
You’re a pretty well-behaved child for your age, because of this, and so that you can spend more time with your sister, you’re allowed to accompany her to work.
The whole Crit role staff would be obsessed with you.
Especially Laura Bailey.
This woman would love you as if you were her own. She’s always the first one to volunteer when Marisha needs someone to look after you.
You were her baby before she had her baby.
If someone finds you with sweets, 99.9% of the time you got them from Laura.
Liam and Sam are like your uncles in a lot of ways.
Both having young children of their own, they have an idea of what sort of things you’re into.
Having said that, you’re not their kid, so they don’t have to follow the same rules. Did someone say bad influences, fun uncles?
With Marisha’s blessing, Sam has had you on for some of his ad reads. According to him, your cuteness is marketable.
There are playdates with Sam and Liam’s children.
You’re heartbroken when you hear that Liam’s character, Vax, has died. There are tears.
Which absolutely breaks the cast because they hate to see you sad.
You’re upset with Matt and snuggly with Liam for a while.
While Liam and Sam are the fun uncles, Ashley is the fun aunt.
You two have matching super cool sunglasses.
She always makes it believable that she didn’t let you win Just Dance.
You and Ash will be belting out songs in the car when you’re in her care, she even lets you say the bad words.
Travis calls you lil” K or Little Kentucky. Which you have led you to calling him big Tex’.
You, much like your sister, have a relationship only comparable to that of a brother and sister with Travis.
If you’re in a particularly sour mood, Travis’s Texan accent is usually enough to turn you into a barrel full of laughs.
You enjoy saying, “yeehaw,” or “ride ‘Em cowboy whenever Travis enters the room. (Sam definitely supports this).
He’s made it his mission to turn you into a Cowboys fan, much to your dad’s chagrin.
Taliesin, this guy might just be your favorite outside of Matt and your sister. They’re just so weird.
You start a childish investigation to find out if they're a real life vampire.
When you get too close, Taliesin makes you his minion, tasking you to spread mischief wherever you deem fit.
For the first week after you’d met them in person, only five, you were convinced their name was Talespin.
Which led to a running joke amongst the others, singing bits of the theme song now and then when you’d get the name wrong.
You beg to dye your hair the same way they do so you can be matching. To pacify you, Marisha agrees to the temporary hair chalk.
When you’re a bit older, you do get to dye the ends electronic blue.
Always messing around behind camera with Brian, or Max, who are usually assigned babysitting duty.
Henry is your bestest California friend in the whole wide world.
There’s always a week at the end of the summer where they tone down the inappropriateness so they aren’t sending you, the angel, back to your parents completely fallen from grace.
As for the Critters.
There was a definite period where there were rumors circulating you were one of the cast members' kids. (Popular theory being you belong to Laura and Travis).
Often showing up in the background, passing through sets, or just a small voice off screen, the critters were curious.
The cast, especially your sister, was careful to keep your face out of social media posts. When you were pictured, your face would be covered by an emoji or shrouded from view.
Then you landed your first voice acting role as a recurring character on Disney channel’s Sofia the First. You were to voice the youngest royal sibling, Ethan/Anna (sshhh, just pretend they’re a character.)
Omg Travis voices King Roland. I didn’t even realize til I wrote this.
Your sister just had to brag, which lead to your formal introduction to the Critter community, “Our favorite little Critter just landed their fist role!”
Suffice to say, the Critter community, for better or worse, lost their minds. Many praised your accomplishment and voiced their opinion on how adorable you were. Others complain and criticize, probably out of jealousy for your close relationship with their favs.
The negative comments were largely drowned out by the positive ones and those that managed to draw attention were hidden from you, as your sister was in charge of your new media presence.
If someone ever does step to you while you’re staying with your sister, they’ve just placed an invisible target on themselves that all the Crit role staff would love to aim for.
The Critters beg for you to make a guest appearance just once in their campaign.
They decide to make that one of their stretch goal rewards for their Vox Machina Kickstarter.
A goal the Critter’s quickly surpassed.
This you make your DnD Critical Role debut during the second campaign.
You sat right next to your sister between her and Travis, which allowed them to help with the math.
You’re obsessed with Laura and Travis’s baby.
Almost seven(?} at the time, you played a child changeling/warlock who was on the run because of their unruly magical abilities.
You were so believably awkward, and apologetic, and humor was soon to follow whenever your character's magic would have a mind of its own.
Your character’s relationship with Liam’s Caleb quickly became favored by the Critters.
Your little annoyingly curious warlock and his rough around the edges wizard.
You made it to the end of the episode but not without having to roll some death saving throws after a misfire on Liam's account.
Luckily, Taliesin and Laura refused to let you die. Marisha definitely gave Liam a few good slaps for nearly killing your character.
Nonetheless, your character survived to part ways, but left the possibility open for returning and maybe even studying under Caleb one day.
A cute moment the chat loses their minds over.
There’s plenty of art of your character apprenticing under Caleb.
The Critters immediately begin to campaign your character’s glorious return.
You are an amazingly kind and talented child.
As you get older, you take more of an interest in voice acting resulting in you moving out to California full time (you, of course, still love and visit your parents).
You’re a DnD master in the making.
You’re an endlessly positive and humorous child to be around and work with.
Marisha lucked out in the sibling department.
All the Crit cast loves you
And to you, they’re your other family.
There’s nothing they won’t do to ensure you have a happy and full childhood.
Because as far as they’re concerned, you’re their kid.

Asher + how he supports the younger generations of the pack
okay, ever since I posted abt how David interacts with and supports the younger generation of the pack (read here), I’ve been thinking about how Asher would and-
I feel like in general, since he’s very emotionally intelligent, aware of feelings, and way more open, he’d be the go to for the younger generations if they’re having a problem that isn’t directly pack related (then they’d go to David).
First of all I want to point out that in my head, Asher always made a point of getting to know the younger generation, asking how school’s going and what they’re interested in and letting them know he actually cares about what they have to say. He plays with them, he gives them advice, etc. He did this before he became Beta, but now he really makes a point of it.
With that out of the way, here are some more thoughts on how he’d support them in his own way:
One of the elementary aged pack members is having friend trouble at school and it’s starting to get obvious something is affecting him? He might not tell his parents much about it, but they know how well the kids get along with and trust Asher so they ask him to see if he can get their son to talk about it. By the end of the conversation the kid feels a lot better and he hugs Asher so tightly and thanks him. The parents are in awe of how skilled he is with getting people to open up.
One of the teens in the pack has social anxiety and she gets visibly anxious during pack meetings or solstice parties? If it acts up during a meeting, there’s not much he can do to help her without drawing attention to her and making it worse, but after the meeting he’ll pull her to the side and help her with her breathing and ask if he can get her some water. He’ll make it really discreet, too, which she’s super appreciative of. Next time there’s a meeting, he’ll quickly drop some sort of item in front of her for her to fiddle with to help distract her before David starts talking. If it happens during a solstice party and she’s kind of standing off to the side and watching the other teens in the pack having fun looking like she wants to join in but doesn’t know how, he’ll start a conversation with her to help her get into more of a talkative mood before encouraging her to go have fun when one of the other teens notices her and comes to get her to join.
One of the middle schoolers is nervous about starting high school? Ash is there with advice and a lollipop. One of them is worried about choosing a university major? The decision is theirs, but he’s there to hear them out and weigh in on the options if they want him to. If they need a second opinion on a specific pathway, etc, he’s there.
Even if he can’t offer advice for a specific situation, he’s honest with them about it and lets them know that he is more than happy to lend an ear and cheer them up if they need. They all appreciate him and what he does for the pack. If Davey is like this cool, super-hero big brother type to the young pack members, then Asher is the fun-loving, charismatic older brother that everyone feels comfortable with.
This one is more of a funny after thought, but the teens in the pack are talking about some sort of drama at their school? One of them just got into a relationship? Asher overhears it and wants to know more, so they tell him the details for the hell of it. He expects updates whenever he sees them next, and sometimes Angel will join in- otherwise Ash would just relay the info to them. David and Babe just shake their heads as they see the gossip session go down and try to reprimand their mates for enabling teenagers sticking their nose into other people’s business, but they’d be lying if they said they didn’t also find it slightly entertaining as well.
I feel like this one is sm longer than Davey’s oops
