Crush | Angus Tully x reader
pictures not mine, edit is mine
gender neutral reader
edited: no (might edit in future)
warnings: angst(?), swearing, drinking/drunkenness, weirdly-written pov, disappointed "parents", idrk
summary: Angus and reader are both pining but all it takes is a little alcohol to fix that. -> Hunham isn't fired, reader goes to Barton
a/n: I'm so glad the internet loves this man as much as I do. This movie got me to write again so I'm just glad for that. I might post more for him, idk. Let me know if you want some shorter stuff. I tried to capture Angus's dorkiness but IDK how well that turned out, LOL!
⥠⥠âĄ
âGod, that was so nerve-wracking!â
âReally?â He smirked. âYou didnât look nervous when you were up there practically singing your heart out.â
âI mean it! My heartâs going so fast! Here, feel it.â Before he could process what you meant you had already grabbed his hand and stuck it flat against your chest. He could feel the thumping, rhythmically beating faster than usual, but mostly he was fixated on his hand being pressed against your body. His eyes widened a little, staring at your hand that still held his, his mouth parted ever so slightly.Â
His face became flushed as you rambled on about the presentation and how you worried about how it might affect your grade. He envied you in that moment, able to be so normal about something as intimate as this. He wanted to move his hand lower, feel more of your chest, but instead you released his hand and he returned it to his side.Â
You didnât notice how quiet he was, trying to stop his mind from going to places he didnât want you to know about. He nodded along whenever you looked up at him and laughed when you laughed but his eyes flitted between your neck and your lips.Â
He noticed he was walking at some point, didnât even realize he was moving until you stopped in front of the door to your room. You walked inside, turning when he didnât follow. âComing in?â
He shook his head, effectively shaking his wandering mind free of dirty thoughts. âYeah, yeah. What are we doing?â
âI donât know,â You sigh, flopping on the bed. âWhat do you want to do?â He stood awkwardly beside you, his hands in his pockets. Laughing, you pat the spot next to you. âRelax, what are you so on edge for?â Right. This wasnât something unusual. You two often came to each otherâs rooms and lounged around.Â
He didnât smile back but he could feel his cheeks heating up. He only hoped you wouldnât noticeâ âYou okay?â You sat up, leaning against the headboard and staring into his eyes as he sat down across from you.Â
âYeah, sorry, my mind is somewhere else.â
âYeah? Where else?â You tilted your head slightly, like a puppy diligently listening to their owner.
âNowhere.â You didnât press, you never did. Heâd tell you if he really wanted to, no sense in annoying him about it. After that fateful Christmas break that brought you two together, though, you couldnât help but wonder if he was thinking about his dad every time he began to stare off into space.
Youâd met because of circumstance. The only two âholdoversâ left at Barton academy. Angusâs parents couldnât be contacted and you couldnât stand the thought of spending three weeks with the biggest jerk in school. Itâd be much nicer to spend the weeks alone, reading in your roomâ or studying as Mr. Hunham originally governed. Instead you got to, albeit unintentionally, sort out your trauma together. Who knew Librium was such a popular drug?
âYou wanna go see if Maryâs got the Match Game on? I kind of just want to sit on the couch.â He nodded. Â
Mary was in fact in front of the TV and Mr. Hunham, a bit unexpectedly, was too. They shared the couch facing the screen although sat on each of the ends, as far away from each other as possible. Mary and Mr. Hunham both liked their respective routines: Maryâs was to relax each night with game shows and Hunhamâs to be alone⌠somewhere.Â
You and Angus entered the room silently and sat on the adjacent couch, considerably closer than the two adults. Angus grabbed a pillow and handed it to you before grabbing one for himself and hugging it. He leaned back into the cushions, tired eyes lazing towards the television. You had a similar approach, putting the pillow on the arm rest and lying down, legs tucked in.Â
When you woke up, you were just as you were when you first sat down. Only now there was a blanket draped over you. You peeked over the blanket to see where Angus had taken up the same position you had on the opposite armrest. He was rubbing his eyes currently, only just have woken up himself.
He winced as he stood up and stretched out. You smiled, his long legs must hurt from being curled into that awkward position all night.Â
Mary walked in, fully dressed in her uniform. âGood, you two are up. I didnât want to have to wake you. Hurry back to your rooms, itâs already 7:15.â You glanced at the clock to confirm.Â
âShit!â Angus exclaimed but then rescinded under Maryâs disapproving gaze. âBreakfast is in fifteen minutes. Mary, why didnât you wake us up last night?â
She put a hand on her hip. âWhy should that be my job? Anyways, I fell asleep too. Only one who didnât was Hunham who was gone when I woke up.âÂ
âFair point.â Turning to you, Angus got caught in his own tracks. He meant to quip a âletâs goâ and begin to head back but he was instead met by you, still leaning against the pillow with slightly tousled hair and half-open eyes.Â
Mary had left at this point, leaving the two of you to awkwardly stare at one another for a couple moments. You broke it by standing up next to him, slowly and steadily. âGuess we should get ready for breakfast, huh?â
âYeah. Uh, yeah.â
âĄ
After breakfast, you and Angus didnât see each other until your Laws and Government class. He usually sat in the back corner, unseen and unheard, but you preferred the front so you could pay better attention. Instead, a compromise was made, and the two of you now sat in the center of the room.Â
The teacher of the class was a highly pompous and old-fashioned old man. His hair was stark white and his cheeks and nose glowed red. Heâd almost look like Santa Claus if it werenât for his contant scowl. Worst of all, he hated uniqueness. If you didnât kiss up to his highly conservative values then you werenât getting an A. And you needed an A.Â
He was handing back the scores from the oral presentations you had the day prior. The one that made your heart jump out of your chest and into Angusâs unexpecting hands. You both looked at each other, making reassuring eye contact before flipping the papers. He smiled, B+. You, on the other hand, couldnât be more disappointed. C-? What was the point of putting a minus when anything under a C was failing? You shrank back into your chair, never having got a failing grade before.Â
You stuffed the paper in your bag, not caring that it crumpled. Angus reached over and placed his hand on your knee. He didnât say anything but you appreciated the gesture. He knew how much your grades meant to you. You stuck your tongue out at him and his decent grade but he knew you meant well.
âĄ
You didnât usually drink, but tonight was the exception. Was it dramatic to be drinking due to a bad grade? Yes. Did that stop you from taking up Teddy Kountzeâs offer to go to an off-campus party? No. Yeah, maybe it was a bad idea to accept the offer of the guy who was a constant ass to you and your best friend, but when he asked you were already in a bad mood. You didnât even have to interact with him there, just confiscate all the free alcohol and get comfortable on the couch.Â
And so you did. When you walked into the house you said âhiâ to a couple people you knew and then ran to the kitchen. The smell hit you immediately, there was no second guessing what everyone was drinking. God, people really like this stuff? Whatever, itâs just one night.Â
âAngus Tully, call for you.â A teacher Angus didnât recognize had knocked on his door at nearly five to one in the morning. He groaned, trudging down the hall to the nearest phone. Getting a call was already rare for him but one at one at one a.m. was out of the question. It was even more surprising when he heard the voice of the person on the other end.Â
âTully?â
âKountze?â
âThank God, can you get down here?âÂ
âI already told you, I donât want to come to your stupid-ass party. Shouldnât it be ending soon, anyway?â
Teddy groaned. âI donât want you to come and hang out, I want you to come and pick up (Y/n).â
â(Y/n)? Whatâre they doing there?â
âI donât know, man. Just come get them. I donât know how much he drank but heâs been passed out on the couch for hours. Every time I try to wake him up he just kicks me.â Angus laughed. âJust get him out of here, okay?â
âYeah, okay. Give me twenty minutes.â
Angus didnât have a car but he knew someone who did. He knocked on the door to the teacherâs lounge where he knew Mr. Hunham would probably be watching TV with Mary. They seemed to be doing that a lot lately. Mary yelled for him to come in.Â
Mr. Hunham nodded. âMr. Tully.â
âHello, Angus. You didnât come all the way down here just to watch TV with us, did you? Usually youâre not alone.â
âI didnât, actually. I was hoping I could get a ride, (Y/n)âs drunk and needs a ride home.â
Mary frowned. â(Y/n)? I didnât think they were the type.â
Angus just shrugged. âUsually heâs not but heâs been talking to Teddy Kountze more. I think heâs the instigator here.â He stuffed his hands into his front pocket, shrugging.Â
Hunham scoffed. âThat boy is a devil.âÂ
âOh, shush. Heâs just a kid.â Mary scolded. â... even if he is a little asshole.âÂ
They shared a laugh, followed by Mr. Hunham groaning as he stood. âAlright, Iâll drive. But I'm staying in the car. And tell him not to vomit on my seats.âÂ
Angus nodded, following his teacher out. âYes, sir!â
When they arrived Mr. Hunham parked on the street, right out front. Angus got out onto the lawn. âIâll be right back.â Hunham nodded.Â
He saw Teddy first. Teddy just scowled and pointed to a room to the right. You were exactly where Kountze said you would be, passed out on the couch. You had a bottle of something in your arms, snugly held tight against your body. Angus pulled that out first and set it on the table across from you. You grumbled softly, missing the feeling of having something in your arms, and shot your leg out to kick who you thought was Kountze.Â
Luckily Angus was just out of reach and laughed in response. â(Y/n), time to wake up.â You lifted your hand to shoo him away but he persisted. âCome on,â he shook you softly. âLetâs go. Mr. Hunhamâs outside.â That woke you up.
âMr. Hunham?â Your eyes got wide. âWhatâs he doing here?â You sat up and Angus sat next to you, keeping you upright after a bit of sudden dizziness.
âHeâs our ride.â
âIâm a bit embarrassed.â You put your flushed face in your hands, leaning your elbows on your knees.
âIâm sure he wonât judge you⌠Maybe just a little disappointed.â He laughed, standing back up and holding his hand out.
âNo, Iâm embarrassed with myself. I shouldn't have drank.â Your slurring was becoming more apparent now and Angus was sure youâd start crying if you stayed here any longer.Â
âHow much did you have to drink?â
You knit your eyebrows together and frowned, obviously starting to get a bit grumpy. âI donât know. Three? Four?âÂ
âWhat? Bottles?â
âCups.â You nodded towards a red solo on the table.
âCups?â He laughed. âThatâs it?â
You sighed, grabbing his hand and standing up. He couldnât help notice the way you didnât let go. Chests almost pressed together from the tight space. âYeah, Itâs my first time.â He breathed in sharply, eyes floating down.
âReally? Youâve never drank before? Mary was right about you.âÂ
You slapped his arm half-heartedly. âMary knows too? Who else did you tell!?â He broke from the spell and began to lead you towards the door.
He smiled. âOnly the whole school.â You groaned in response.
When you got outside, Mr. Hunham rolled down the window to begin his speech before you even had the chance to get to the car. Angus opened the door to the backseat and helped you in but you grabbed his arm when he began to back up. You tugged ever so slightly and he gave in to the weak show of force, climbing into the backseat with you. You didnât put up a fight but neither did he.Â
â... this isnât the way to go about life. When you get to my age youâŚâ You nodded along to whatever Mr. Hunham was saying, occasionally adding in an âI know,â âYouâre right,â or âIâm sorry.â Angus sat a bit stiffly next to you. You still had his arm in yours, hugging it as you had with the bottle.Â
âĄ
He dropped you onto the edge of your bed before falling down beside you with a groan. He needed a moment before he went back to his room. You, slightly more awake now, slung your legs across Angusâs chest in an awkward L-shape. He let you stay like that for a moment, catching his breath and savoring this while he could.Â
âAngus?â You asked softly, tilting your head to peer down at him.Â
âYeah?â He pushed your legs back off the side of the bed so he could kneel beside you and help you take your shoes off.Â
âYouâre so pretty, do you know that?â He paused, staring across at you, obviously shocked. Your face, though, was completely indifferent. âI mean it, youâre so beautiful. Youâve got perfect hair and perfect skin and perfect eyes. I donât get it. You must know, right? I hope you know.â
âI-â He tried to speak but what would he say? He was still knelt down, desperately watching your faceâ which was still staring back innocently. Without thinking, he crawled onto the bed next to you, leaning up against the headboard. You adjusted, too, so you could continue staring at him, head on the pillow. He felt a bit hot under your gaze but he basked in the attention, he only wished he knew how to respond to make this last. To get you to look at him like this forever. Â
âGod! Youâre just so perfect! I donât tell you that enough but I do think it. A lot. Youâre just so prettyâŚâÂ
âI donât think youâve ever told me.âÂ
He could see the fatigue slowly taking over your eyes as you kept going. âYouâve got this dopey smile,â You saw his face turn. âNot a bad dopey! Cute-dopey. Itâs the kind of smile that makes me want to smile too.â Absent-mindedly you began to reach up to touch his lips, stopping centimeters from contact.
âUm, thank you.â God, thatâs what he came up with?Â
You giggled, though.âYouâre welcome.âÂ
âI think youâre pretty too. Iâve been staring at the back of your head since I got to Barton. And then when Christmas break happened I was pissed I didnât get to go home, sure, but man I was so excited when I found out you were staying too. Iâm glad I get to see more of you than your hair now.â
âYouâre lying.â You accused him but you were smiling.Â
âIâm not, I swear!â He couldnât help but smile too.Â
âYou canât have been looking at me since you moved here because Iâve been looking at you since you moved here. And before Christmas, I donât think we made eye contact once.âÂ
âBelieve what you want,â He laughed. âIâm telling the truth.â
You sighed, brushed him off wistfully, and went back to longing. You spoke as if youâd forgotten the previous few exchanges. Perhaps you had. âI wish I could look at you all the time. I wish I could touch your face and your hair whenever I wanted. I wish I couldââ You abruptly stopped and stared him down. Angus had to remind himself again that you were out of it. You looked as if you were trying to make a decision but the alcohol was making it impossible to choose. Angus leaned forward a bit, almost unwillingly. He hardly even noticed his movements until your fingers finally touched his face.
Your eyes flickered down, his did too. Slowly you brushed against his bottom lip. He parted his mouth slightly, cheeks becoming more red by the second. You moved onto his top lip before brushing his cheek. His eyes hadnât left your mouth. Pulling your hand back slightly you looked up to his messy curls. Reaching up, you grabbed the hair at the back of his neck, running your hands through it. He had to stop himself from making any noise.Â
âAnd youâve got these big brown eyes, theyâre really pretty, you know. I feel all shy when you look at me⌠like in the way you are now.â You sighed deeply, as if the weight of the world were on your shoulders. âGod, Angus. I think I love you.âÂ
It took everything in him to not swoop down and kiss you right then. He was glad you were drunk so you wouldnât remember his bright red face, but he also couldnât help but wish your confession had been a sober one. His mouth was stuck in a small âoâ before he realized you were waiting for an answer. âI donât think this is the right time.â
You cut him off before he could clarify. âWhat do you mean? Are you dating someone elseâŚ? Iâll wait.â Your words made him sputter out a short laugh but your face was nothing but serious.Â
âThatâs not what I meant. IââÂ
You frowned. âThen, what do you mean?â
âI mean,â He brushed some hair from your eyes. âYouâre drunk and probably won't remember any of this in the morning. How about you tell me again when you arenât inebriated?â Â
You grabbed his hand, holding it close to your chest. âWhy? What if I forget? It hurts too much not to tell youâŚâ
âI wonât forget.â He smiled. âDonât worry, Iâll remind you.âÂ
He kissed you on the forehead, needing something to tide him over until he could act the way he truly wanted to. You curled up on your side before looking at him expectantly. He blushed and compiled, lying down next to you but leaving a couple inches between your two bodies.Â
He heard you laugh and move closer. He let out something between a moan and a gasp and you smirked in victory. Still, though, he wasnât close enough. You reached out and grabbed his hand, setting it on your waist.Â
âYou never told me,â You leaned into his chest. âDo you like me back?â You sounded like a middle schooler talking to their playground crush. Angus was almost unable to respond from the grin that trapped his face.Â
âIsnât it obvious? Of course Iâm in love with you too.â

Anywhere | Spike Spiegel x reader
pictures not mine, edit is mine
gender neutral reader
edited: yes
warnings: angst, swearing, canon-level violence/blood, ambiguous ending, low-key/ possible death
summary: Flying is the fastest form of travel but it always feels much slower when you need to be somewhere. Anywhere.
a/n: idk why I've only been posting Spike smh. I have two other fics in the works for him too... I swear I write for other people I just never finish the fics... Also don't judge the song choice -- I started this a while ago and I don't have a good replacement.
⥠⥠âĄ
âShit. Shit. Shit!â Spike was pacing, his hand running through his thick green curls.Â
âIâm fine, Spike. I really am.â He knew you werenât fine. The shock covered a lot of the pain so you werenât technically lying, but the situation was much worse than you actually knew. Spike had to mentally slap himself. If Jet or Faye were there he would have asked them to hit him for real. He deserved much more than that.Â
He stopped and kneeled down in front of you. His eyes were trying to look into your own but you couldnât focus. âCome on,â He brushed your cheek with his thumb. âI know where to go.â He didnât have much time to lose and he had already wasted so much being dumb. He was pacing and worrying when he should have been flying. Taking you somewhere. Anywhere.Â
He came over and lifted you as gently as he could. He was trying to be quick and ended up a little rough in his haste. You winced and he wanted to slap himself again for hurting you. He lowered into the Swordfish the best he could, arms around you as you tried your best to place your feet on the floor. Eventually he got into his seat and sat you across his lap, your head fell on his shoulder.
The ship was starting up, but it wasnât fast enough for Spike. His whitened knuckles gripped the steering wheel with such force even the half dazed (Y/n) had noticed. âCalm down. Donât stress yourself out⌠Itâs alright.â
âCalm down? How can I--â He sighed. There was no use fighting with you. You were always so selfless, even when you were dying. He didnât want to upset you, anyways. He didnât know what you needed now except a doctor. But yelling at you didnât seem like it would help.
âSpike.â He looked down at your tired eyes. Space was fleeting past, it was good they were in deep space or he mightâve gotten a ticket. Deep space, though, did not have any doctors. He originally thought of going to Jet on the Bebop but his level of expertise and available technology was far less than what you needed.Â
âSpike, it hurtsâŚâ Your eyebrows knit together loosely, obviously in pain but too weak to show it.Â
âI know, sweetheart. I know.â He kissed your forehead lightly and you moved in closer to him. Your cold nose brushed against his neck causing him to shiver. You two were already a bit stuffed in the small ship, but you appreciated his comfort. His warmth.Â
The two of you never left the otherâs sides, even when he was catching the most dangerous bounties. You werenât a bounty hunter, just some stray the crew had picked up. They had a knack for doing that. Spike knew you shouldnât come along but he felt so protective of you. He never could find the strength to leave you behind, especially when you gave him those puppy eyes. The two of you were used to being abandoned and you neither wanted it to happen again. This made your friendship a really⌠close one.Â
Spike looked back up at the stars in front of him. He had no clue if he could find help where he was going but he needed to try. He was rushing to the closest planet, whatever one that might be. If he were to ruin another life because of his selfishnessâŚÂ
âCan we listen to music?â Spike was not in the mood for music, but he also wasnât in the mood for making you feel worse than you already did. He clicked on the system, your music already hooked up from the amount of times you ride with him.Â
The song that came on was some old one that (Y/n) had found. It was from nearly 60 years ago now, from some genre Spike never cared about. (Y/n) loved it, though. You liked all the sad and relatable lyrics, the ones that you tried to mouth along to now. The ones that were piercing through Spikeâs heart.Â
âThinking about the past again. Darling, you'll be okay.â Spike couldnât help but really listen to the words. The music he always poked fun at you for listening to was the same music that would be there to mock him as you died in his arms. âItâs both loud and sad, why do you like this again?â âItâs called emo music,â you had told him. âEmo means emotional! Youâre supposed to find it sad and relatable.â
The next song came on and he could no longer hear your soft singing. You knew all the words and never missed a chance to sing along to it when you could. He looked down, seeing your eyes closed peacefully.Â
â(Y/n)?â As much as he was glad to see you rest, he couldnât really tell the difference between your napping and, well. You were always such a soft breather too, always wanting to remain ignored and unseen, even while asleep.Â
âIâm awake⌠But really tired.â You spoke with your eyes closed, unable to find the strength to open them again. You pushed your face into Spike's neck, trying to get more comfortable under the circumstances. âLet me take a nap.â
âI know youâre tired⌠Just, donât go to sleep. Okay?âÂ
Turning your head to look up at him, you finally opened your eyes enough to take in the stress radiating from your best friend. âNothingâs going to happen, Spike. Stop worrying.â You lifted a hand up to his cheek, trying to calm him but doing a bit of the opposite. âOh, oh no. Iâm so sorry I--â You pulled down your sweatshirt sleeve to cover your hand, trying to use it to wipe the blood youâd just left on Spikeâs face.
He didnât care about getting blood on him but he did care that the blood was coming from you. He was trying not to look down at the source of the blood. The wound had long soaked through your shirt and had made a good stain through your sweatshirt.Â
It was a miracle you were doing this well (if you could call it that) after all this time had passed. Spike didnât want to push his luck. The cityâs horizon gleamed ahead, Mars had never seemed so beautiful. He let his mind wander away from you for a moment. He wondered what heâd explain to the doctor. Heâd have to come up with a good story for the police, too. With all the wealth in the city, more of them were jumping for a chance to find crime and then be paid off to ignore it.Â
âWeâre almost there.â Spike spoke at you but never looked down, too busy trying to find someone who could save you. If it could be done. You didnât respond, already passed out again. Spike didnât really have the flexibility to steer and wake you up at the same time. His head began to throb, stress taking over. It hurt like hell, but it was nothing compared to what you must feel.Â
â(Y/n)? (Y/n)!?â You stirred a bit, swatting him weakly.Â
âIâm sleepingâŚâÂ
Spike's voice got softer, content that you were okay. Well, okay enough to respond. âNowâs not the time to go to sleep. Weâre almost there, okay?âÂ
âBut I'm tired now.â You were acting like a child, half cute and half from delirium.Â
âI know, I know. You can sleep on the Bebop later. For now you have to stay awake. I donât know how bad this thing is.â His eyes only flickered to your wound, unable to look longer. You sighed, done with him being melodramatic.Â
Spike didnât think he was being dramatic. You just had to save that kid. You had to risk your life and play the hero. You had to go and get shot near all of your major organs.Â
âIâm fine. With the amount of times⌠Jet has had to wrap up your whole body⌠Iâm surprised this⌠tiny thing⌠worries you.â Your speech had slowed significantly. It took considerably more effort to get even one word out now, much less an entire sentence. Even you, in your dubious state, couldnât argue that there wasnât something wrong.Â
Spike opened his mouth to retort but retracted quickly. Once again, there was no point in arguing now, heâd do it later when you were not dying in his arms. He was a lot stronger than you were and had been in this rough business a lot longer. He was highly trained and had much more restraint. Jet wasnât a real doctor either, everytime Spike was completely bandaged the wrap job was probably a bit exaggerated. And even then he was stuck on couch rest for weeks. He, in all of his years of practice and development, could take it. You were strong mentally, sure. You were the most strong and stable thing in Spikeâs life. But this wasnât exactly a willpower sort of thing.
âI canât wait for you to get better so I can yell at you for how reckless you were.â He tried to lighten the mood rather unsuccessfully. You laughed softly, ending in a rough cough. You raised your sleeved arm to cover your mouth but when you brought it away it was stained red.Â
You tried to ignore this. Hopefully Spike hadnât seen. âYouâre too nice to yell.â
âIâll get Faye to yell at you then.â You smiled, happy for the casual conversation. It wasnât meant to last, though, as another coughing fit began. Spike looked down again to try and calm you, but he quickly noticed how your gray sweatshirt turned dark and how the inside of your lips were tinted red.
âShit, (Y/n). We need to hurry up. Youâre coughing up blood.â You were about to reply with something snarky but youâd used up all your words. You moaned, the pain starting to come back. You couldnât believe the shock had lasted this long.Â
The ship began to land outside of a pristine white building, a red cross above the front door. You were not supposed to park there, but Spike didnât care. There was only one thing he cared about now.Â
You moaned again, softly whimpering into his jacket. He kissed the top of your head before quickly opening the Swordfishâs hatch. âYouâre going to be okay. Weâre here. Youâre okay.â You didnât know if he was convincing you or himself but his rough voice was the last thing you heard before blacking out.Â

HP World | Headcannons
random HCs about the world, not specific characters :)
based on modern hogwarts
⥠⥠âĄ
- modern muggle born kids/ half bloods that grew up at least a little in the muggle world have some sort of forum where they talk about memes and stuff
- thereâs still a little bit of bullying of these kids now but MUCH less, mostly just the prestigious rich kids with daddy issues
- but ANYWAYS, other kids in the school mostly joke about the forum but secretly read it whenever they can because itâs so interesting??
- being the gen z-ers that they are, muggle kids have a lot of inside jokes and tell a lot of vine/tik tok jokes that the rest of the kids wished they could understand (but theyâd never admit it)
- they also play pranks on the pure blood kids and pretend things are trends or memes when they aren't
- tbh SO much less bullying now of days, no matter the subject â despite what Cursed Child says. Ofc kids will be what their parents tell them to be and a lot of people are still sour about the whole voldemort thing and itâll never fully go away but,,,,
- more mingling between houses. Mostly people still stick with their own people but Slytherins are finally accepted for the great people they are and not automatically thought as evil
- actually much safer now, not just because Voldemort is gone but because the school actually took extra precautions when rebuilding, hoping theyâd never need it but nonetheless
- a House Elf activist group gained a lot of traction after a biography about Harry Potter was released and the world fell in love with Dobby. This helped them gain their rights to freedom in the mid 2010s
- Muggle studies/ inventions are a lot more prevelant due to gen z being such a kind generation, not many want to integrate back with the non-mags but there are definitely more people who think itâs okay to marry a muggle at least
- when America found out about the destruction of Hogwarts they sent help to rebuild and offered learning space at Ilvermony to all the displaced Hogwarts students, sparking a friendship between the schools and starting a transfer year program for 7th years

Spike Spiegel - Cowboy Bebop | Headcannons
gif not mine
gender neutral
edited: yes
warnings: none
a/n: this is just how I feel Spike would be :) I love Spike a lot so Iâm probably going to have a lot of content for him.Â
⥠⥠âĄ
General ~
- Heâs not really a music person
- Heâll sometimes listen to the jazzy type of music that is featured in the show but in general he prefers quiet or just the normal ambiance of his surroundings
- Heâs always sleeping too
- He pretends heâs not but this boy is T I R E D, heâs kind of like an animal where he feels like sleeping is a weakness
- It might not seem like it but he drinks his respect women juice
- Heâs just a ~loner~ from years of constant trauma so he tries to blame his not liking people on just not liking certain types of people
- Itâs kind of like a defense mechanism so people will stay away from him
- Doesnât like kids, though
- Thinks theyâre annoying but also doesnât have enough confidence that he can actually take care of them
- Kids are at such a suggestible stage and he doesnât want to âruin themâÂ
- Not really a pet person but doesnât mind cats because theyâll mind their own business and then occasionally let him pet them
- Would get a cat and then try to hide it
- âOmg Spike you have a cat!?â
- âWhat? No way.â
- â... I can see the cat right there..â
- âItâs not mine. Iâm, uh, babysitting?â
Relationship version ~
- Very closed off at first... obviouslyÂ
- Honestly not ready for a relationship at first and still hurt from Julia
- You live on the ship with the crew and slowly became friends with Spike
- You guys are friends for a LONG TIME before he makes the first move
- Honestly I feel like you guys are the cuddly type of friends where you put your head in his lap/ on his shoulder/ give him hugs and he just doesnât stop you
- He really likes it but heâs scared of showing his feelings so he doesnât do much back
- Canât really control himself, though, and does return the affection sometimes
- You liked him for a long time but after (very slowly) finding out about Julia you didnât say anything
- You and Faye became really good friends who are very supportive of each other so you went with her when she wanted to go back to Earth
- You guys didnât tell anyone else and no one knew you had planned on coming back
- When Spike was on the ship, alone with Jet for the first time in forever, he realized how much he actually liked you
- And missed you
- He figured you were gone forever and realized how much he hated it
- Of course he deep down missed Ed, Faye, and Ein too, but the way he missed you was... different
- You arenât a bounty hunter but you always go with him unless itâs especially dangerous
- You donât like being apart from him (or bored and lonely on the ship) so you always push to go along, he canât say no to you soooo
- He hates being away from you but he didnât realize why until you were gone forever
- When you came back onto the ship he played it cool but on the inside he was super pumped
- âDidnât know you were coming back.â
- âHi Spike :)â
- â... Hi (y/n) :)â
- He doesnât actually confess until a couple days later
- You two are laying next to each other in your bed and youâre reading or something
- He just looks at you and decides to take a chance, heâs a bit cocky but also really nervous
- obviously
- He flipped himself over, his hands on either side of your head, then leaned down and kissed you softly
- It all happened so quick it took you a second to reactÂ
- Heâs about to apologize and leave when you immediately lean up to kiss him again
- Spike immediately turns it into a make-out session lol
- âSpike, what are we now?â
- âWhatever you want us to be.â
- So now you guys are dating
- When you guys are alone heâs so clingy
- When around other people he will return PDA if you initiate it but never start it himself
- He is very protective of you
- Heâll usually make you sit in his lap or have his arm around your waist
- He gets jealous REALLY EASILY too
- Will probably try to fight them
- If youâre sleeping he likes to hold you close to him protectively
- Heâs so scared you might leave or get hurt like everyone else in his life
- Itâs silly and cliche but look at his track record...
- Kisses your head when he thinks your asleep
- When you two are cuddling itâs so sweet
- If you guys are cuddling itâs definitely in one of your rooms and he will most likely be sleeping/ go to sleep
- He feels safe and comfortable enough to be asleep with you
- He likes when you guys lay on your sides facing each other and heâs hugging you with his face in your neck
- Heâll occasionally kiss your neck gently and then snuggle back in while you read a book or something
- Altogether you guys are really cute but mostly when youâre alone
- You guys never leave each others sides tho
- He goes somewhere, you do too, no fighting it
