Being in a relationship with Jesse Pinkman would include...

SFW version only + extra headcanons (Smut version can be found here) Pairing: Jesse x gn!reader Genre: Fluff Warning(s): Breaking bad spoilers! Mentions of alcohol, drugs and injury Mentions of trauma Words: 1336 Summary: What would dating Jesse Pinkman be like? English is not my first language so please let me know if I make any mistakes so I can evolve as a writer! :)

He would just LOVE having you around. All the damn time.

For example: When he throws parties in his house, he’ll have you by his side all the time.

“But Jesse… I need to work!” “Work can wait, babe. I’m having a party!” “But…” “Pleaseeee! It’s not a good party if you’re not around…” “...Fine.”

When he falls in love, he falls hard.

Even if you’ve dated him for a short while, he would express his love for you early on.

He would be very insecure at the beginning of a relationship, so he needs lots of reassurance that he’s doing the right things etc.

He’ll brag about you for everyone, ALL THE TIME.

Jesse: “I’m telling ya! My partner is the best. Skinny Pete and Badger: “...Here we go again.” Walter: “I literally don’t care. We have work to do!”

His love language is touch. Every opportunity he gets, he wants to touch you (with consent ofc) This includes:

- Holding your hand when walking

- When sitting down, he’ll either make sure your legs are touching

- …Or have his hand resting on your thigh.

- He loves having you sit in his lap, so he can cuddle you and rest his face against your neck. It relaxes him.

Jesse doesn’t mind PDA. He likes showing his you off. He often feels like you are “too good for him”, and therefore wants to brag, because he has such a wonderful (and hot) partner.

He tends to get awkward when you call him nicknames or show him affection around his friends, since they tease him for being “a simp”.

You like it tho.

Sometimes you’re extra “lovey-dovey” towards Jesse when his friends are around, just to tease him and watch him blush.

Since Jesse earns lots of money in the meth business, he would buy you expensive gifts.

…And make lots of impulsive purchases.

You try making him stop spending so much money on gifts, but even if he promises to stop, he doesn't…

He LOVES seeing you wearing his clothes. And if you don’t, he would probably ask you to wear his shirts, when sleeping etc. He just enjoys the sight of it, and for him, it’s the most adorable thing.

His phone would be full of selfies of you and him, but mostly pictures of you. He’s the guy to make you his lockscreen.

The two of you have a playful banter. There’s lot of teasing going on, and you have inside jokes (most of them are mocking Walter together)

He likes playing video games with you. This would be the one of the few times he’s rude. He is very competitive and tends to take games a bit too seriously.

If he wins the game, he won’t shut up about it. He’ll tease you for it, until you tell him to shut the hell up

…If he loses, tho… He’ll be a baby about it.

“Impossible! You cheated!” “I’m just better than you, Jesse!” “Yeah, right…” “...Are you mad at me?” “...Maybe”

If you don’t like alcohol and drugs, he would try to not use it in front of you. He would try quitting, but it would be a long journey. He hates seeing you worried for him, and that would be a motivation for him to quit, or at least try.

When cuddling and sleeping - He doesn’t care if he’s the big or little spoon. Whichever you prefer.

Comforting each other.

Whenever you’re sad or angry, Jesse does everything to cheer you up. He tends to get awkward when someone cries, so he doesn’t know how to react. But he always does his best to cheer you up.

He would want to introduce you to his friends. He wants everyone to know how amazing you are.

He also likes the idea of being able to hang out with his friends and his partner at the same time.

But this would also include jealousy and Jesse being overprotective.

He doesn’t like being the possessive boyfriend type, but if one of his friends tries hitting on you, he'd stare them or “playfully” threaten them.

If someone flirts with you when he’s around, he either gets really insecure, or will just simply walk up to you and be affectionate (basically his way of saying: “They’re mine, back off bitch”)

This also includes his work. In dangerous situations, he prioritizes your safety before his own.

…Although you’d probably end up being the one protecting him.

He would probably try keeping the relationship with you a secret, since he’s scared you’ll become a target.

At first, Jesse tried to lie about his career, but him being away for such a long time everyday made you suspicious.

The last thing he wanted was for you to think he was cheating. Afraid of losing you, he decided to tell you the truth.

You were shocked, of course.

…But most of all, you were concerned. Knowing how dangerous his work is, and how he risks going to jail or getting killed, you got very worried for him.

It would probably lead to arguments, since you both are so concerned for one another.

Learning he’s too stubborn to quit, you give up the attempts to convince him.

But he would definitely make promises to you, that he will be careful, and not shut you out.

Jesse wants good communication with his partner, and the two of you would always be honest, and never keep secrets from each other.

In his free-time, he spends a lot of time with you.

If you guys don’t share the same interests, that’s ok with him.

He tries being a supportive boyfriend, and you’re the one to decide where to go and what to do.

This includes small, simple things, such as: Food, movies, music and games.

Even if he’s bored, he’ll try to not show it. (...Although he would fall asleep against you when watching your favourite/”boring” movies)

Date nights include going to loud parties and getting wasted, going to a bar or restaurant etc…

But it can also be “calm” dates - watching movies at home and eating snacks or playing video games.

This man gets beaten up ALOT. He tries hiding it from you (but fails in every way). You are the one that patches him up and cleans his wounds.

At first, he thought it was embarrassing that his partner had to take care of his wounds, but he grew to like it.

Having you tending him feels good.

…And he loves watching your focused face when you clean his wounds and patch him up if needed.

Jesse also enjoys hearing you mutter threats against the person that beat him up.

He may be protective over you, but you’re also very protective over him.

His “enemies” are your enemies.

When moving to Alaska, you would come with him.

He refused at first, since he was scared that something would go wrong.

But it was the opposite. You both got a fresh new start, and under new identities, you guys could finally have a normal life.

He wants to take things slow, but he also wants to marry you one day.

And eventually start a family too, if you want to. He wants to have children with the person he loves, and be able to give them the life he never had.

He would be such a good dad omg

After all the stress and trauma he’s been through, he just wants to “settle down” and live a calm life together with you.

He would also want pets lol

I see him as a dog person, so he would definitely, with or without your liking, buy a dog.

(Going out on long walks at winter with the dog <3)

He has lots of trauma, and has moments where he doubts himself and has breakdowns, but having you around helps him alot.

Of course, you are always there to support him and help him through difficult times.

…Basically: Your relationship would be so pure, dramatic but sweet.

My hand slipped, got stuck on the bus today, almost three hours for what should have been a 30 minute journey so this happened. A tiny fic about how Tia Pepa’s plans for Eddie not to be alone can get the boys together. Just the random thoughts of a spot that’s stuck in traffic, just on mobile so no ao3 link but it’s there

Always There General 1.1k

To Eddie’s relief Christopher’s birthday party is going well, he’d been worried this year, the older Chris gets the harder it is to know what will work but you can’t go wrong with computer games (at least that’s what Buck said and Christopher agreed). Buck had found a video arcade with retro gaming consoles that did private functions.

The plan was a done deal once Chris and Buck checked out the website. It suddenly became the only option Chris would consider and now it’s almost over Eddie has to admit it was a good idea. Everyone has had a great time. Even the adults. Buck has been in his element and Eddie even managed to play on a few of the games with him, Buck sulking when he lost and gloating with every triumph. Eddie didn’t care who won, he was just pleased to see Buck so happy.

Buck lost more frequently when he was playing against Pepa who showed no mercy. Eddie had to stop himself from laughing at Buck’s dismay everytime she won. Pepa had been persuaded to stay around after she dropped off Christopher’s gift . Buck had challenged her to some racing game and she was hooked. She’s still here now watching the kids and Buck have fun with a smile on her face.

He’s too busy watching Buck to notice his Tia’s attention is divided. Buck suddenly checks his watch and bounces over.

“Pizza should be here soon. You wanna get them off the games and I’ll go wait for it”

Eddie laughs, “Nice try! You can get them together and I’ll go wait for pizza!

I’m not separating a bunch of 12 year olds from their games, this was your idea!”

Buck yells “Hey no fair!” after him but it’s too late. He's already moving away with a grin that widens as he hears Pepa say “Don’t worry Buck you have me, even if my nephew wants to run away from the hard jobs, we’ve got it covered.”

Eddie’s actually impressed when he returns with pizza to see everyone ready. Buck leaps up as soon as he sees him and takes half the pizza boxes off him. Together they distribute the food and snatch a few pieces for themselves. He has to slap Buck’s hand away from his pizza a few times as he tries to steal his extra mushrooms.

His complaint that if some people wanted mushrooms they should order mushrooms falls on deaf ears and makes both Buck and Pepa laugh.

A quick check of his watch reveals the kids have another 30 minutes of arcade fun left which Buck supervises as Eddie clears up.

Despite the success of it all he’s glad it’s nearly over, he's looking forward to getting home and having a well deserved beer with Buck. Maybe he can persuade him to stay over. Shouldn’t be too hard.

A voice interrupts his thoughts,“Do you and Christopher want to come back to mine, open his presents there?”

He answers Pepa without much thought “Thanks but Buck is coming home with us tonight , Chris wants to open his presents with us there.”

Eyes drifting towards Buck and Chris again he fails to notice the slightly amused twist to Pepa’s lips.

A little later Buck joins them, “Hey, Ty’s mom just texted to say she’s stuck at work and could we drop him off. I said that’s fine, it’s on the way back anyway. Do you wanna keep an eye on them, I’m just gonna start putting the gifts in the jeep.”

Eddie nods “Ok, I’ll tell Chris they’ve got 10 more minutes,” Then with a smile Buck disappears and Eddie watches him leave.

When he turns back he’s confronted by his with a look and as if the face isn’t bad enough she slaps him lightly on the chest.

He frowns back “What? What’s that look for and why you hitting me?

“Because I was worried, you let me think you were all alone.” The scoffing noise she makes is very familiar.

“Why did you let me set you up with that nice girl when you already have someone? Eddie, shame on you, raising her hopes when you’re already taken.”

He briefly considers the possibility that Pepa’s been drinking “I’m taken? What? I’m I’m lost”

She’s not listening, “Why? Do you not trust your Tia?! You think I would disapprove of that lovely, lovely man?! Eddie!! I’m hurt.” She shakes her head again.

His eyes flick towards the door. “Are are we talking about Buck?”

“Are we talking about Buck?!” Hands wave and tap his cheek not exactly gently but not so much it hurts.

“Yes I am talking about your partner, your Buck. Christopher’s Buck too. Eddie, open your eyes. I am no longer worried about you being alone. You have not been alone and you should have told me so! There will be no more blind dates! I expect you to get your own,” there’s an ominous pause. “and soon!”

Then she kisses his cheek and is gone and he’s left in the wake of a mild epiphany.

Buck bounces in a few moments later. “I saw Pepa leave and Jake and Gab’s parents are parking. I’ll go tell the kids.” Buck pauses and frowns “You ok? You look weird”

He shakes himself. Pepa wants him to get out there, find someone that he can be happy with. Now she thinks he’s found that someone.

Buck’s still looking at him, frown getting more intense the longer he waits. Eddie knows exactly what Buck will do next, he’ll close the distance between them, touch his arm, look him in the eye and ask him again if he’s ok with nothing but concern and affection, no, with love in his heart.

Suddenly the idea of letting someone into his life isn’t so scary, and that’s probably because he let someone in years ago and just hadn’t noticed but his Tia had and she’s never wrong. Get himself a date, he actually thinks he might be able to do that.

“Hey Buck, you wanna have dinner with me. Just us.”

The look that falls over Buck’s face can only be called hope.

“Ju Just us?”

Eddie nods “Just us.”

“Like a…?”

He nods again, “If you wanna?

Buck bites his lips together, then a smile breaks free.

“Yeah I do wanna. I I really do.”

Something warm spreads through Eddie’s body and he thinks Oh. Oh this is how you’re supposed to feel when you have a date; excited and happy and so full of hope you could burst.

Then parents are arriving and children are leaving and Buck’s busy dealing with everything with a smile on his face and Eddie knows he’s not going to be alone, hasn’t actually been alone for years.

Turns out dating isn’t a problem as long as you find the right person and without any doubt in his heart Eddie looks at Buck and knows he has.

haechan is sprawled out on the couch after taking a shower, occupying all the space. he’s mindlessly on his phone, tapping away in the group chat with his older members. you’re finishing up your night time skin care routine, applying your cherry flavored chapstick to your dry lips.

curse the cold weather.

you turn the light off and exit the bathroom as you make your way down the hall to the living room. haechan senses you in the corner of his eyes, turning his head to look at you.

“so sexy.” he dreamily says, eyeing you up and down as you slide your feet over towards him. you’re dressed in your usual night attire, sweats and one of his t-shirts.

smirking, you poke your ass at him, immediately regretting it when his hand makes contact with your cheek.

you hiss in pain, pouting as your rub the stinging area, turning around to do the same to him but he manages to reach over and soothingly rub your ass.

“sorry bubs,” he sheepishly smiles.

you nudge his leg with your knee. “scoot over.”

he frowns, “lie on top of me.”

you sigh, even though you know that’s what you’d end up doing anyways.

you grab your tv remote before settling yourself on top of haechan’s chest, the top of your head in the crook of his neck. one of his arms are lazily wrapped around your waist and your legs entangled with his underneath your throw blanket.

“so what’re we watching again?” he questions.

you’re trying to find the app on your home screen, you had recently bought the hbo app for your tv, solely for the purpose of the most anticipated show that came out last night that you’ve been waiting for for years. purposely ignoring your phone for any spoilers because people like you– except they’re not late– have watched it on the release date.

but you and haechan haven’t watched anything that’s new, together, so you had brought up you wanted to watch something with him tonight. since, yesterday he was busy with his friends back home.

“the last of us, it came out last night and i’m so fucking excited. it’s a post-apocalyptic survival show based off of the video game.” you excitedly, explained to him.

you finally find the app, clicking on it as you patiently wait for it to load.

“ohh, really? is it like a horror game? zombies and guns?”

you nod, “yeah, it’s a horror game. zombies and guns, yes. and there’s also clickers which is the scariest of the infected. i really hate the sound they make, you’ll see soon.”

“i thought you don’t like horror games?”

you hum, “i don’t. but i saw this youtuber that came up on my recommendation play it and then an hour later i ended up watching an entire gameplay of both the first and second game an entire night.” you laugh to yourself.

haechan gasps, “wahh, why have you never told me this?” haechan knows you have a dislike towards scary video games, but strongly more playing them than watching them.

you shrug your shoulders, “this was before i had met you. i won’t play the game though, only watch it. i’d watch you play it though if you ever play it.”

he takes a mental note. you seem to be very interested in this television adaption of a video game. so he has to look up how he can play the game later on.

“i’m excited.” haechan admits softly.

“me too.” you press play, dropping the remote on the floor in arms reach and getting cozy on top of your boyfriend as the episode starts playing.

“so? what’d you think?” you eagerly ask, sitting up on his waist in a straddling position while he’s still lying down. wanting to hear about haechan’s review on your show. you had brought this show up to haechan, knowing he’s into these kinds of shows, but anxious that he won’t enjoy since it’s an american show in english.

“even though it was just the first episode, i’m hooked. i enjoyed it baby.” he tells you honestly, smiling.

you squeal, “me too! now we have to wait a whole week.” you let out a fake sob, plopping your upper half onto haechan’s chest.

“if you got infected i would let you bite me so we can both be zombies.”

you frown, raising your head up to rest your chin on his chest. “but then we’d have no memory of each other.”

he pouts too, “oh yeah. then, you go down, i go down.” the emotional scenes from the first episode are hitting you again and haechan seems to notice so he changes the topic.

“sunday we should order pizza while watching it.” he suggests, fiddling with your soft hands.

“sundays?” you hold up your pinky in front of his face.

“sundays.” he promises.

On 5Miinust (+ Puuluup) and the pleasures of sticking idol pop where it (supposedly) doesn't belong.

I haven't been around much lately, y'all. Partly because my dudes have also not been around much, although ZaQ continues to post a series of videos on the ARTJAQ channel, teaching the audience about... something. I continue, in turn, to not understand Kazakh. Throw in increasing disillusionment with K-pop (I guess now we know why GFriend was so abruptly shitcanned, though the knowledge doesn't make me feel any better), a general post-October-7th discomfort with most online pop-music discussion spaces, and work to get done at home, and Tumblr just hasn't been a particularly rewarding place for me lately.

I didn't think Eurovision was going to be a rewarding place for me this year, either. And then Eesti Laul happened.

youtube

It's like some divine imp was watching and saying to themself, "You know what Jessica needs? A pop-rap group from a former Soviet colony whose members love video games and refuse to take themselves seriously and release lots of goofy content that sorely lacks English subtitles. No, another one."

To clarify: the description in the previous paragraph only refers to four of the six people making up Estonia's Eurovision entry this year. The two guys in the clip with talharpas are the respected "zombie-folk" duo Puuluup, who play world music festivals and draw their own album covers and seem like a very fun and intelligent duo. They somehow have fallen into league with 5Miinust, a four-member (previously five) group that has been around since the mid-2010s. To the best of my knowledge 5Miinust have never been accused of being Satanic and/or gay like Ninety One have, but they are either a party group, a hip-hop group, a boy band, a bunch of frat bros (see this album cover), or a very savvy business collective whose members include a former advertising specialist and a trained accountant. Or, most likely, all of the above at once.

The 5Miinust / Puuluup collaboration by itself is charming enough, and if you want to know more about how it came to pass, I direct you to Overthinking It's very good video on Estonia's entry. And "Nendest Something Something," as @sole-cuore-amore-e-droga calls it, is the best kind of fun: chaotic at first listen, carefully constructed subsequently. I don't expect it to do well in Malmö. (I think "Europapa," which is also a seemingly chaotic song that turns out to have a lot more going on than its bouncy surface would first indicate, will win overall.) And I don't really care. I'm not sure 5Miinust and Puuluup care a huge amount about the scoreboard either. They've already recorded a full album together; they seem to be having a good time making silly videos for social media. They'd be my winners even without the added bonus, which is that these guys are absolutely giving idol-pop goodness.

I mean: go watch that Eesti Laul performance again. With the exception of the bridge, each performer gets his own solo time, a classic idol-pop move. There's choreo! And the styling: everyone shirtless under a suit jacket, but each suit jacket tailored slightly differently—that is such an idol-pop live-performance look. I cannot be the only person who clocked that Korea's suit is cut the same way as Nine's for "libidO" live stages, just more conservatively.

And the deeper you get into the 5Miinust rabbit hole, the more idol-pop-esque goofiness you find. Drag performances? Yep. Live radio performances with gimmicks? Here they are stripping to "Vamos." Super-dramatic award-show performances with loads of backup dancers? Here they are at last year's Estonian Music Awards. Do you need to learn the point dance? 5Miinust and Puuluup will combine forces to teach you the point dance.

And yet, talking about either (and both) of these groups as idols is a gloriously stupid idea, because "idol pop" suggests a willingness to subjugate themselves to audience demands that neither 5Miinust or Puuluup, for all their combined marketing skill, have. Idol pop historically depends on hierarchies—performers deferring to management, and, in a different way, to their audience—and that's not how 5Miinust or Puulup work. When I wrote up a guide to who's who for /r/eurovision, I said that Päevakoer is 5Miinust's maknae, and it was a joke because I'm pretty confident no one within 5Miinust has ever cared for one second who's older and who's younger. Just the fact that two different groups with a decade between them found creative inspiration in happily treating each other as equals gives the lie to the idol-pop framing. Nobody's bowing to Marko and Ramo. The whole idea is so far from how these particular performers relate to each other as to be nonsensical.

Which means: idol-pop goodness without stifling hierarchies; idol-pop goodness by people in charge of their own careers, who post goofiness on their own terms; idol-pop goodness combined with musical experimentation born of mutual respect. YES. YES. SIGN ME THE HELL UP.

(If it doesn't go without saying at this point, I would give a lot for my new faves to somehow meet my existing faves. Ninety One might not have enough English comprehension to make the meeting work, though. I think 5Miinust's ex-member Gameboy Tetris might speak Russian; whether he wants to speak Russian would be another story.)

I got lucky, and found people also willing to enjoy the 5Miinust-and-Puuluup-as-idols ironic glee. @sole-cuore-amore-e-droga really kicked things off by making that awesome lyrics video, and from there we got a line distribution video and a logo design for our fandom (Estoners) and photocards and a fanchant and a lightstick design and a "Gangnam Style" mashup and chibi art and then more chibi art. It has been one of the highlights of my past month, being able to giggle unreservedly with strangers. I haven't been able to do that in a long time.

Eurovision happens in two weeks, and then there will inevitably be a dropoff in activity, no matter where "(nendest)..." places. Without the Eurovision framework (and the English-language content that comes with it) I suspect most Estoners will move on. I'm still going to play the album, though, and keep an eye on these guys. Any chance to expand idol pop into more humane spaces, I'm going to take, no matter how silly it seems.

#eurovision 2024 #5miinust #puuluup #esc estonia #(nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi #(yeah i had to copy and paste the song title)#idol pop and its pleasures #longer essay

Anyway I’m bored and Carmen Sandiego renaissance is on the brain. What are these characters like when they aren’t focused on the main plot?? Non VILE/ACME/Caper related dialogue seems so few and far between.. I wish we got to see their lives outside work. So I made some headcanons abt it

CARMEN

Player was her first exposure to the outside world so she probably holds a lot of his nerdy interests close to her heart. She’s not the best at video games but plays them regardless. She especially enjoys sci-fi horror movies from the 80s that go big on practical effects

Finding random trivia about different countries is genuinely one of her favourite hobbies. The little info segments she does are not part of the edutainment show. She is genuinely just like that. This woman is a trove of fun facts please let her unleash them upon you

In the same vein she LOVES quizzes. After missions she will drag Team Red to any bar doing a trivia night in her vicinity and will wipe the floor with everyone there. Fear her

Enjoys people watching. It’s why she’s so good at charming strangers despite her socially stunted upbringing. She’ll sit alone in a busy train station for hours and watch everyone pass her by

PLAYER

Look. We know this kid is a nerd. It’s canon. But which niche of nerdiness does he fall into exactly?

Despite being an avid gamer he isn’t very competitive about it. He prefers single player rpgs, especially ones with active modding scenes. He doesn’t even know what vanilla Skyrim looks like he probably wasn’t even born yet when it released

He will, however, duo queue with Carmen on unranked Overwatch. They are both terrible at it and think it’s the funniest shit

Enjoys sitting back and watching a good speedrun. Will have a video of someone doing a stupid BOTW challenge in the background while he hacks security cameras and such

Runs a DnD campaign for Team Red which they’re all crazy invested in. Shadowsan is the only one who doesn’t care for it but he keeps rolling nat 20’s on the dumbest shit and derailing the campaign and he finds everyone’s reactions too entertaining to stop. They have a rivalry only a DM and a stupidly lucky rogue could have

ZACK

We already know he’s kind of a meathead that enjoys sports and cars and cheesy action movies but I also think he has a lot of softer hobbies that he keeps to himself bc he knows they won’t take him seriously

He’s a secret crocheter. He’ll mend the team’s clothes when they rip but that’s the extent of their knowledge. He’ll sit for hours by himself and knit while listening to music. Sometimes Shadowsan will find a new pair of socks in his bag. When Carmen got sick once she woke up with a handmade blanket draped over her. Ivy has her suspicions but doesn’t wanna intrude

He loves animals. He never really brings it up because no one ever asks. He always checks out local zoos and aquariums if he has the chance. Grew up watching Steve Irwin-esque nature shows and still does to this day

His love of eating is less out of greed and more his own form of cultural appreciation. Idk what happened to his and Ivy’s parents but for reasons he can’t explain their cooking is one of the few things he hasn’t forgotten, so he has a lot of sentimental food-based memories. And experiencing other countries cuisine connects him with that

IVY

PERIOD DRAMAS. They don’t have to be good they just have to be steamy. She enjoys the hot women in pretty dresses. She and Carmen watch Bridgerton together and laugh about how historically inaccurate it is

She LOVES renfaires and similar high fantasy roleplaying communities. Someone please buy this woman a suit of armour

As an engineering prodigy AND fantasy buff she has a massive interest in Blacksmithing and Swords. That’s her designated lesbian hobby. She’s been trying to politely worm her way into a conversation with Shadowsan about the blade he returned to his brother for months now but isn’t sure if it’s too personal of a topic for him so she’s nervous

Her sweet tooth encompasses more than just chocolate. She’s secretly grateful to Zack since he takes most of the flack for being a glutton. She makes note of any bakeries they pass by on capers so she can come back later in secret and go ham on the pastries

SHADOWSAN

I think his interest in Samurai history starts and ends with his love for Hideo. He’ll happily discuss it and he’s studied it passionately, but out of a sense of respect and duty to do right by the brother he betrayed

He will NEVER, EVER admit it to anyone but he genuinely misses the adrenaline rush from committing petty crimes. He was a criminal for over 20 years. Lifestyles are hard to shake and change isn’t linear. He’d never succumb to impulse but he’s just kinda bored

He microdoses on the urge by pranking people. Everyone always blames Zack so he never gets caught. He also enjoys sneaking up on people and making them jump. He’ll always insist it’s unintentional. It isn’t

He’ll read and meditate and train to keep himself centred but he’s still a rowdy young punk at heart. Team Red is the first taste of freedom he’s had after a lifetime of VILE faculty monitoring him. The first thing he bought for himself after settling in at the San Diego HQ was a motorbike. The second was a new tattoo. The third was a potentially lethal amount of whiskey that he drank in one sitting

JULIA

We know she has a passion for history outside her work in Law Enforcement so she definitely goes to all kinds of museums in her free time. She’s the kind of person who enjoys learning just for the sake of learning (she and Carmen have that in common)

Outside of that she’s surprisingly good at karaoke? She gets stage fright but really likes singing and will go all out if you hype her up. Her taste in music is the exact opposite of her appearance and personality. Lots and lots of death metal

An aficionado for different types of tea. She keeps like 10 flavours in her house at all times. She especially likes floral ones that taste light and sweet. She hates iced tea with a passion though

Goes to botanical gardens whenever the weather is warm and the season is right. She likes the history of the old manor houses but she also loves admiring the landscaping and the blooming flowers. She could sit on a bench surrounded by local flora and fauna for hours

DEVINEAUX

Chase is an entirely different person when he’s off the clock. The unhinged high-energy maniac who froths at the mouth about La Femme Rouge goes dormant once he gets home. Especially after he got stranded on VILE island. That really gave him some introspection about work/life balance

The biggest, softest, sappiest hopeless romantic you will ever meet in your life. Passion is just part of his nature and he gets his heart broken A LOT. It’s why he throws himself into his work

He’s a really good chef. Like REALLY good. Before he was a cop he did a few summers as a line cook in his teen years and he retained most of the knowledge. His pantry is STACKED and he tries out recipes he picked up from his ACME travels in his free time. He’s a tad snobby about it because he’s French but you will not complain about the stuff he feeds you

Old movie enjoyer. His favourites are film noirs, cheesy romances, creepy eastern european animation and german expressionism. He has a fervent hatred of Marvel

Also one of those insane people who get up at 5am to do cardio. One morning before a mission he met Agent Zari with barely a glisten of sweat on his forehead and sadly informed her that he only got to run 15k and he wished he had time to do more. That was the first time she ever knew fear

Spring Reset 🌷💌🌿🧸

Hello everyone! The past few months have been difficult since I moved to university. I've been feeling so run down and not myself recently but spring is a time for new beginnings! I'm back home for the easter holidays so I'm looking forward to spending the next few weeks relaxing and taking things slowly. I wanted to share a few ways I plan to spend some time on myself and reset for spring!

Spend time in nature

Spring is such a beautiful time, with daffodils appearing and trees blossoming. With the weather warming up it is the perfect time to take a gentle walk or ride your bike. Even spending time in a park or your garden can make all the difference on your mood.

Reading

I find getting involved in a story is such a lovely way to unwind from daily stresses. Recently I've been reading the Once Upon a Broken Heart series and I've been loving it so far! I also enjoy reading self-help books to get out of a rut and feel motivated again. Atomic Habits has been my current read and it's helping me plan new routines.

Set/check in on goals

Take this time off to reflect on how the year has been going so far, have you been keeping up with your New Year's resolutions? if not don't worry it's the perfect time to set new goals. It's never too late! Taking time out to slow down and reflect can be so helpful to realign yourself with who you want to be. I like journaling prompts and watching goal-setting videos on YouTube to help guide and motivate me!

Create a vision board

Following on from the last suggestion, creating a vision board is a lovely way to check your goals and create a vision of your dream life. I think it's such a fun and creative way to motivate yourself! I like to use Canva and Pinterest for my vision boards and I will look for quotes or pictures that I feel represent how I want my year to go. I find being very intentional about what you include makes them more meaningful. This year I am trying to make one for each season.

Plan quality time with family and friends

Since moving to university I have treasured time with my friends and family even more. This easter I am making time for my loved ones and catching up with old friends. Some of my favourite plans are watching a film/series together, playing board games or going on a walk. Taking time away from screens to properly catch up can be so important to show how much you care. If you are far away from friends or family arranging a call, sending a letter or playing a game online can be just as thoughtful! I would recommend Stardew Valley to anyone looking for a cosy spring game to play with friends.

Re-arrange/ decorate your room

A spring clean can be a lovely way to refresh your environment and feel motivated again. Life can be so busy that we forget to take care of our environment too. Taking out some time to declutter or rearrange your space can be so nice and give a new sense of energy to your room without having to spend lots of money.

Reset my sleep routine

I have some bad sleeping habits I've picked up over the school year so each night I am gradually pushing forward when I go to sleep and when I wake up by half an hour to gently get back to sleeping at a reasonable time.

Take time for yourself

It's important to remember that a holiday is there for a reason! It is so important to have time to relax and do whatever you enjoy, whether having a lay-in, a movie night or playing video games! Not everything you do needs to be productive and having downtime can bring so many benefits like reducing stress and making you more productive when you start working again.

I hope this post could give you some ideas for your own spring reset and I hope you have a lovely easter!

Love, Evelyn x

HIIIIIII idk if this has been asked yet since its very general but. do u and rockstar have any plans for valentines since its basically tomorrow :0

(@snailchans-imaginarium)

Snowy, even if it was asked before and it was general, I wouldn't care one bit because I love getting asks about stuff like this from people!! Especially friends like you, who take time to say hi even when you're super busy 🥺💖 ILYSM BTW 🫂💕 /p

Anywho, about our plans!! Well, Rockie did mention something about a song cover he's been working on that he wants to show me, so I'm pretty excited about that ☺💕 Anything he sings becomes musical perfection imo, so I'm very curious what he's picked out...

He keeps hinting that he wants to go out for coffee too? Which we kinda do a lot, so it's making me wonder if maybe he found a new coffeeshop to check out together? I love soaking up the vibes from cafes, so he keeps an eye out for any new ones that might be opening near us so he can show them to me 🥰💖💖💖💖

I don't even need to mention my love of coffee at this point. We all know this by now. My s/i's name is Java for crying out loud xD

But today's not just about me!! I have some plans of my own for Rockie, too!!! The other day, his favorite set of guitar strings finally got worn down and snapped. Apparently they were the strings that he used to use on his very first guitar before he, uh, smashed it at his first big concert 😅 Those strings were all that he could salvage in the end, so he kept 'em and put them on every guitar he got after that! Those were his 'special strings', and he was really bummed out about losing them, poor guy. I hate seeing him so sad... so I'm gonna take him out to find some new strings!

The best part is that I already managed to find the exact same brand as his old strings!! So I'm gonna lead us around the store, pretending like we're looking for any old replacement, and then when he's not looking I'm gonna casually pretend to pull them off the shelf and ask him if these are any good!! Y'know, all innocent-like!! It's gonna be the best surprise ever!! I can't wait to see how he reacts hehe >:3

Finally, after all that excitement, it'll be nice to just order pizza and watch movies or play video games together, all snuggled up on the couch! He loves to pull me into his lap so he can wrap his arms around me and rest his chin on my shoulder. That way he can whisper in my ear or playfully kiss my neck to distract me from our game... but I don't mind losing if it means I get that kinda treatment 🥰💖💖💖💖

#🎸#📚#🗯#💬#SNOWY!!! HI AND THANKS FOR THE FUN ASK!!! I really enjoyed it a lot ☺💖#Happy Valentine's Day to you!!! I hope you get to spend it happily with all your family and friend f/os - they all love you so much 🥺#tw flashing

Friday, Nov 1, 1985

It had been just about 2 weeks since you had met Eddie and started at Hawkins. Since then, you had met the Hellfire Club and already had played in 2 campaigns, your character becoming a strong asset for the party which earned you a spot amongst the group.

Eddie had learned more about you. He learned that you moved here so you and your parents could take care of your grandma as her health was failing her. And that your parents had grown up here and were high school sweethearts, moving out of Hawkins as soon as they graduated to move to LA. And you learned about him too, he shared the fact that he was repeating his senior year again, but informed you that he was going to make this his year and graduate. You learned he lived with his uncle and a little about his home life.

Eddie had also insisted on taking you around town, showing you his favorite spots. He had taken you to the arcade and saw your pinball skills in action. You definitely kicked his ass. And you had seen his band play at the Hideout. Had burgers at his favorite spot. You two seemed to be together all the time now.

Eddie was smitten. He didn’t know what to do. You were on his mind constantly. Less than 2 weeks ago he didn’t know you, and now he found himself sitting in his van parked out front of your house drumming his hands on his steering wheel in anxiety to the mixtape you gave him 3 days ago. Normally you all would have just gotten out of Hellfire as it was Friday, but Eddie had moved this week’s game to Thursday for a special, spooky Halloween session. Tonight he had gone to the Family Video and rented some horror movies as a late Halloween watch, and had been passing your house on the way to his trailer when he saw you reading in the window from the street, your hair making it obvious it was you.

He was going back and forth on whether he asked you to sneak out to come watch at his place. Not knowing if you wanted his company tonight. He would normally call first to see if you were busy but he didn’t do that tonight. Now he wasn’t sure what to do, he wanted to spend time with you but didn’t want to force himself on you either.

Making up his mind, Eddie jumped out of his van and walked up to your first floor window. He tapped lightly, hoping not to startle you too much as your back was turned. He saw you jump slightly before you turned to find the noise, watching your expression turn from confusion to excitement when you saw him standing there.

“Hey doll,” Eddie smiled after you opened your window to speak with him.

“Hi Eddie, what are you doing out there?” You said, returning a smile of your own.

“I wanted to see if you wanted to sneak out and come to my place? I rented some horror movies if you wanna come watch with me.” He said, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. He watched your smile falter for just a moment and tried not to show his disappointment.

“Oh, I’m sorry, I can’t come out tonight Eddie. My dad works nights usually but he had today off and wanted to hang out with us.” You said softly.

Eddie was about to tell you that it was no problem and run away back to his trailer in embarrassment when you cut him off.

“But, we can watch here if you don’t mind hanging at my place instead?” You asked hopefully.

Eddie nodded his head with a large smile, “Need help opening the window?”

He then tilted his head in confusion as you giggled, “No, you don’t need to sneak in Eddie. Come to the front door.” You stated sweetly, closing the window on him before he could respond.

Eddie played with a ring on his finger as he walked back to his van to get the movies for the night. Saying he was nervous was an understatement. He had been to girls' houses before, girls that were too embarrassed to say they were dating him at school and chose to only see him at night. They would sneak him in through their window and hide him in the closet if there was a noise. So this was uncharted territory for him. Meeting the parents of a girl he liked? Unheard of.

What if they hated him and made you stop hanging out? Would you? Or would you then have to start sneaking around with him too to stay friends? What if your parents wanted more for you than friendship with a 3 time super senior from a trailer park?

He tried to push down his nerves and keep his hand from shaking as he knocked on your door. Bouncing on his toes as he waited. A kind looking blonde woman in an apron and dress opened the door with a smile, “Hello, how may I help you?”

“Oh um-“ He started, eyes wide.

“It’s for me mom!” Eddie heard you call as you bounced up to the door. He took in your appearance as you walked up, more casual than he had ever seen you. You were in an oversized black sweatshirt and short cotton shorts, the tattoos on your legs visible to Eddie for the first time since seeing them in the photos of you from the beach. Oh how he loved seeing you like this, he loved seeing you in anything, but there was something so cute about how the sweater swallowed your hands and almost covered your shorts that Eddie loved.

“Mom, this is Eddie. Eddie, this is my mom, Maggie.” You said, gesturing for Eddie to come inside as he sent your mother a small wave. “Eddie wanted to watch some movies with me, it’s okay if he stays for dinner, right?”

Eddie watched your mother’s expression very carefully, trying to see any disappointment. But he found none as she reached her arms out to him in a welcoming hug. “Not at all sweetie. Oh, Eddie it’s so nice to finally meet you, Y/N talks about you all the time.” She said kindly, a bright smile on her face.

“Mom.” You groaned lightly, trying to keep the color from rising to your face as you closed the door behind your friend.

“What? You do, honey. That’s just a fact.” Eddie heard a man’s voice say with a laugh.

Eddie watched as a man with dark hair came up to you and your mother, dressed like an old rocker, complete with the same style of Led Zeppelin shirt Eddie first saw you in.

“Hey son, name’s Roger. I’m Y/N’s dad. It’s nice to finally meet you, like Maggie said, Y/N talks about you all the time.” He said with a teasing smile directed at you. Eddie watched you roll your eyes and groan again as you fidgeted with your ring.

“It’s nice to meet you both.” Eddie said, still nervous, but suddenly less so with how friendly your parents were being.

“What movies did you bring Eddie?” Your mother asked, leading the group into the small dining room.

“Oh, I brought Evil Dead and Nightmare on Elm Street.” Eddie said, holding up the movies.

“Ah horror movies, you gonna be okay with that pumpkin?” Your father joked, taking his seat next to your mother, giving you another teasing look.

“Yes.” You said quickly, “I’ll be more than fine. I’m gonna go get grandma for dinner.”

Eddie shot you both a confused look as you hurried out of the room and down a hall.

“Y/N usually gets scared during horror movies.” Your mother stated quietly to the metalhead, gesturing to him to take a seat across from her before going to get a new plate for him.

Eddie nodded his head as he took his seat and your mother began dishing out dinner, he didn’t know that about you. Why did you agree to watch horror movies if they make you scared?

He didn’t have long to think about it as you came out pushing your grandmother in a wheelchair to the head of the dinner table with you and your father on either side.

“Eddie, this is my grandma Elizabeth. Grandma, this is Eddie.” You introduced as you took your seat next to Eddie.

“Hello ma’am.” Eddie said politely.

“Hello dear, you must be the boy my darling Y/N keeps talking about.” Your grandmother said kindly with a wrinkled smile.

Eddie tried to fight back his grin as he could see the small blush on your cheeks now as you took a bite of your dinner.

“Thank you for having me, I know I just dropped by.” He said awkwardly.

“Not at all dear, I’m happy to see this old house have some company!” Your grandmother said happily. “Can you tell me a little bit about yourself Eddie? Did you grow up here?”

“Uh, yeah-yes- I did. Been here my whole life, and my parents were here their whole lives too, they’re gone, but I-uh- live with my uncle.” Eddie answered before taking a bite.

“May I ask for your last name? I used to teach at Hawkins Elementary a long long time ago, maybe I had them?” She asked curiously.

“Our last name is Munson.” He told, anxious now with his family’s reputation.

“Oh I remember your father and uncle very well.” Your grandma said with a kind smile. “They used to get in a little trouble but they were sweet boys.”

Eddie let out the small breath he had been holding in relief.

“I remember your dad and uncle too.” Your father agreed. “They were good guys, how is Wayne?”

“Oh, he’s good. He works nights at the plant so we only see eachother a couple times a week.” Eddie said.

“Well tell him I said hi when you see him, not sure if he’ll remember me much.” Your dad laughed.

Dinner went on much the same, your family asking Eddie questions and him responding, mixed with your family telling as many stories from your childhood as they could with embarrassed groans from you. The metalhead was surprised with how nice the dinner was going. He was sure the first time he met a girls parents that they would hate him. But your family seemed to genuinely like Eddie, they asked him follow up questions and seemed to actually care about the answer. Before long, everyone had finished dinner and Eddie was helping you clear the table, shooting you a sweet smile as he did.

“Eddie?” Your father said, catching both of your attentions. Eddie gulped anxiously. “Would you say that you’re good at video games?”

“Oh, oh yeah, I think I’m pretty good at Dragon's Lair at the arcade.” He responded, relieved the question wasn’t worse than that.

“Good, well, I have a surprise for you Y/N, but I am really glad you’re here for this Eddie.” Your father said, excitedly leading you both into the living room.

You and Eddie shared a quizzical look between yourselves as you followed him, sitting on the couch when he gestured.

“Pumpkin, remember that trip I took right when we got here?” You nodded, “Well, while I was in New York I was able to snag something very special during a limited release.” He then pulled out a black box with red lettering and the picture of a game console on it. “I was able to get us a Nintendo Entertainment System, with that Mario Brothers game.” Your father finished proudly.

“Dad, holy shit, are you serious? These haven’t even been officially released!” You exclaimed, reaching out and taking the box.

“Hey I know a guy!” Your father exclaimed, “So I’m really happy you’re here Eddie because I’m no good at these games and Y/N needs a partner for this Mario game. That way the wife and I can watch you two play instead of Y/N yelling at us when we suck.”

“Well, you have to get better somehow, pops.” You sighed dramatically, causing Eddie to laugh next to you.

It took you and Eddie a few minutes of teamwork to set up the system and get the game launched, but eventually you both were sitting in front of the TV, controllers in hand, watching the opening of Super Mario Brothers for the first time.

“Be sure to keep up, Munson.” You said confidently, smirking at the brunette.

“Oh, don’t worry about me, L/N, you’ll be the one needing to keep up with me.” He shot back with a wink and smirk of his own.

“Kids, it’s a cooperative game, you don’t need to make it a competition.” Your dad said with a chuckle from his spot on the couch with your mom.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever old man.” You said playfully as you started the game.

The living room was filled with noise; the noise of the game, yours and Eddie’s competitive banter, and your parents' words of excitement and encouragement as you raced through each stage. Eddie and you worked together and after not too long you both were able to get through the game, not without racing each other through the stages at each chance though. You were fighting the final boss together when Eddie was able to get the final blow before you both saved the princess. You looked at Eddie, who sent you back a teasing smirk. “Guess I win.”

You rolled your eyes dramatically before pushing him to the ground playfully, “We both won you dork.”

“Yeah, but I like super won, you know, doll?” He said as he recovered and helped you put the controller and console away.

“Oh whatever, it’ll be me next time just you watch.” You said standing up, extending a hand to Eddie to help him up as well.

“Well, I think you both did so well!” Your mother exclaimed. “Are you kids going to watch your movies now?”

Eddie looked at the clock on the wall, it was already past 10 and your parents were asking if you were going to start 2 feature length movies now? He could have sworn they were going to ask him to leave since it was getting so late. He then looked at you, seeing you nod your head.

“Yeah, lets head to my room, we can watch there. See you later.” You said before leading Eddie out of the living room and down the hall and to your bedroom. The metalhead sent a small wave to your parents as he followed you further into the house.

You tried to push down your nerves as you opened the door to your room and ushered Eddie in. The guy of your dreams, the one you had quickly developed a crush on over the last two weeks, was about to be in your room. It’s not the first time you and Eddie had been alone, obviously, but that never stops the butterflies from erupting in your stomach whenever you are. Especially when he sends you that heart stopping smile of his, the one seemingly only reserved for you.

You watched Eddie investigate your room as you shut the door. It was obvious that you were still moving in a bit with a few moving boxes you hadn’t unpacked, but Eddie looked around curiously at the items you did take out.

You had a few posters up, your bed in the center of your wall and your tv in facing it, you had your bass guitar on a stand in the corner by your bay window, a cork board full of pictures of your friends back home above your desk, and an easel with a painting still being worked on in another corner.

Eddie made his way to the easel and looked at the painting you were working on. It seemed to be a scene from the Halloween campaign that Hellfire had the night before. It had all of the members' characters engaged in a battle, each one looking like the person who plays them, and Eddie as the boss of the battle, the Vampire King.

You watched that smile you love grow on his face as he saw the painting, “You did this all last night?” He asked not hiding the awe in his voice.

“Mostly, I worked on some of it when I got home today too. It’s not done yet.” You said quickly, you were always so critical of your artwork.

“It’s great so far, doll. I can’t wait to see when it’s done. We’ll have to hang it up for Hellfire, if you're okay with that. The guys will flip, seeing themselves as their characters.” Eddie exclaimed before his eyes fell on the shirt hanging off your desk chair. “Speaking of Hellfire.”

He walked up to the item and held up your new Hellfire shirt. “You finished it?” He stated more than asked.

“Yeah, it just finished drying last night.” You smiled.

“I can’t believe you got me to agree to let you make it a crop top.” He scoffed playfully, putting it back down.

“What can I say, I’m incredibly charming, Eddie.” You stated jokingly as you walked up to get the TV ready. “Which movie should we watch first?”

“You haven’t seen either?” He asked as he brought the tapes over to you. You shook your head. “Let’s start with Evil Dead, it’s much tamer than Nightmare and I heard someone gets scared during horror movies.” He finished with a teasing smirk.

“I just haven’t watched that many, I guess.” You admitted with a slight flush. “My parents tried to show me The Exorcist when I was a kid and I think it scarred me towards horror movies.”

You hadn’t noticed that you had started fidgeting with your ring again as you spoke. Your hands betraying your nerves. Eddie took one of your hands gently in his and gave it a soft squeeze.

“We don’t have to watch them, sweetheart.” He said, not wanting to push your boundaries. He would be happy watching old reruns off the TV if it meant that he could just spend more time here with you.

You felt your heart thump erratically at the new pet name, head swimming with racing thoughts at what that could mean. You shook your head lightly to clear the intrusive thoughts. Eddie was just that kind of guy, the one to throw around names like that without more meaning behind them it seemed. Or at least that’s what you told yourself, not believing that someone like him would like you the same way as you did.

“No, we can watch them. I..I want to try.” You said, trying to sound confident.

“Okay, dolly. But let me know if you get too scared or want to stop, okay?” He said with a soft smile and another squeeze to your hand as you nodded up at him with a small smile of your own. “If it makes you less nervous, I don’t think either of these movies are all that scary. Evil Dead is actually pretty funny when you get past the gore.”

You sent him an even larger smile at his words, thankful that he was trying to ease our mind. “I’m holding you to that Munson.” You laughed lightly, returning the squeeze before taking your hand from Eddie and putting the movie in the VCR.

Eddie turned back to your desk, taking off his vest and jacket in the process to hang on your chair. He looked at the scattered cassette tapes that littered the surface next to your stereo. You must have been working on another mixtape earlier. He looked at the titles, wanting to know what names you had chosen for them. His smile grew as he read “Radio Trash”, “Shitty Love Songs Vol 6”, and “Ready to Cry?”, he paused, finding one labeled “E.M.” with a small doodle of him.

He was confused, you had already given him his tape. Somehow you had picked his favorite songs without him telling you, making a perfect mix for his drives around town. You had even added L.O.V.E. Machine after he told you it was now one of his favorites because of you. You had labeled it “You’re Stuck With Me Now” with a small drawing of you with your tongue out, flipping him off. He remembered laughing when you had given it to him before class the other day. So what was this?

He picked it up, showing it to you, “Hey Y/N? What’s this one?”

You read the title and felt your eyes go wide, “Oh, it was my first attempt, I-uh-messed it up and had to start over.” You weren’t totally lying to Eddie. You had made the entire tape, picking songs that made you think of him, but while listening to it back you had found that you had filled the tape with love songs. So you made a new one and gave him that one instead. You now listened to this one when you painted or wanted to smile.

“What happened?”

Shit. Now you would have to lie. “I accidentally taped over the ending of L.O.V.E. Machine and that was just unacceptable.” You smiled, earning you one in return from the man.

“Yeah that would have been, good call sweetheart.” He beamed, putting the tape back on the desk. Missing the sigh of relief you let out behind his back. He then let his eyes wander over the items on your cork board; there were photos of your friends, Polaroids from your trip across the country to Hawkins, a flier from the biggest gig your band had, a ticket from Black Sabbath’s 1980 Heaven & Hell Tour, and finally a postcard. Eddie looked at the postcard closely, he knew where that was from. His eyes quickly scanned your room before landing on the item he was looking for. Your denim jacket. The sky in the painting on your jacket was the same as the sky in the postcard.

“Starry Night - Vincent Van Gogh - Museum of Modern Art” He read in the bottom corner.

“It’s my mom's favorite.” You said softly next to Eddie. “We went last year so she could see it in person.”

“You painted the sky on your jacket for her?” He asked, turning to look at you. He noticed the sweet look on your face.

“Let’s just say, Echo isn’t only based on Aragorn.” You said with a grin, mentioning your long time D&D character, you chuckled as Eddie furrowed his brows in confusion. Grabbing his hand, you led him to your bed so you could start the movie. You both got situated, sitting up against the headboard, before you started playing with the rings on Eddie’s hand you were still holding. He was thankful you didn’t seem to notice his quick pulse under your soft fingers.

“Remember I told you that my parents were on the road a lot when I was a kid and that’s why I started school late?” You asked. Eddie nodded. “I don’t tell people a lot what he was doing because everyone always says I was lying, but my dad was a roadie for a small local band in L.A. and he and my mom followed them all over the country their first couple years as they toured with larger bands. That’s how I got to meet Jim Morrison when I was 4.” You said with a chuckle.

“Shit. Really?” Eddie said in amazement.

“I swear. You can even ask my dad!” You laughed. “But while dad was working, mom and I were at the hotel every night. Just me and her. She’s the one who taught me how to draw and paint. She’s the one who read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings to me for the first time and encouraged me to be creative. She had a hard life growing up and was always worried she’d be a bad mom. But she’s my hero. I hope I can make her as proud of me as I am to be her child.” You finished quietly.

Eddie felt his heart clench at your words, not believing that you trusted him enough to be vulnerable with him like this. He took the hand you had and twisted it so he could hold your hand, lacing his fingers with yours. You liked the calming pressure that came with those rings pressed against your skin. “I know that all 3 of those people out there are proud of you, dolly. Have you seen the way they talk about you?” He reassured, with a squeeze of his hand. You let out a soft chuckle and nodded your head. “Good, now let’s start this movie, okay, sweetheart?”

“Yeah, let’s do that.” You said grabbing the remote from your end table and pressing play. You squeezed Eddie’s hand again as the movie started. “Thank you, Eddie.” You added quietly.

Squeeze.

It was just about 2 am currently and you had both finished the movies and were watching a rerun of The Twilight Zone. You had made it through both movies with minimal fear. And just like Eddie had said, once you got past the gore in Evil Dead you were laughing right along with the man to all the corny special effects. The only time Eddie really seemed to notice you being scared was during the bathtub scene in Nightmare on Elm Street. He could feel you squeezing his hand and burying your head lightly into his shoulder nervously during the entire sequence of the character almost drowning. And even though he didn’t want you to be scared, he had relished in the physical contact and returned the pressure on your hand in comfort.

You both had slid down the headboard into laying positions on the bed as you sleepily watched the show, hands still joined. Eddie was going back and forth in his mind if he stayed or left, not knowing if he was overstaying his welcome with you.

About halfway through Evil Dead, your parents dropped by the room to say goodnight and had told Eddie that if it got too late he was more than welcome to stay the night. He had been shocked. They just didn’t care if he slept in your room with you? A guy they had just met a few hours ago? You were right that first day, you really do have cool parents.

Eddie stirred, moving to let go of your hand and get ready to leave, worried that you wouldn’t want him to stay anymore, when he felt you grip onto his hand a little stronger. You moved your head to the side to look at him, eyes wide, nervous.

“Will you stay tonight, Eddie?” You rolled to your side to look at him better, tentatively putting your other hand on his forearm above where your hands were joined. “Don’t want Freddie to get me.” You added with a soft smile.

You weren’t actually scared of the movie, or of having a bad dream from it. You just wanted to stay with Eddie as long as you could, even if you were both asleep during it. You didn’t want to have to let go of his hand, not knowing the next time you would get to hold it again. You wanted to stay like this with him forever if you could.

Eddie moved to his side as well, facing you fully. He took his free hand and pushed some hair that had fallen forward behind your ear. Letting his hand then settle on your upper arm. “You need me to stay, dolly?” He said gently, almost teasingly.

“Please?” You ask, searching his big brown eyes.

A large smile broke on the metalheads face, “Of course I will. Gotta protect my favorite girl.” He said before letting go of your hand and pulling you into a soft embrace.

This was not the first time you had hugged Eddie, he had found pretty early that you were an affectionate friend. But this was certainly the most intimate you had thus far. You and Eddie laid there holding each other, both basking in the joy of being in each other’s arms. Eddie breathed in the smell of your shampoo. Strawberries. It was intoxicating. He could feel you gripping onto the back of his shirt, keeping him close. And you felt his hands rubbing up and down your back soothingly. Both of you hoping the other couldn’t tell how fast your hearts were racing.

After a few minutes of this, you reluctantly pulled away from Eddie. “Would you like some pajama pants? I think I have a pair that will fit you.” You asked sweetly.

“That sounds great.” He smiled down at you, dimples on full display.

You crawled out of bed and to your closet, pulling a pair of plaid sleep pants from a drawer you had in there before tossing them at Eddie with a teasing smirk. “I’m going to go brush my teeth while you change.” You said before leaving the room and heading down the hall to the bathroom.

When you got in the room, you quickly tossed some cold water on your face after shutting the door, trying to calm your nerves. You had basically just begged your crush to stay in your bed tonight. What were you thinking? What if he had wanted to go because he was tired with you and now he was forced to stay here because you begged him? Oh this was bad.

These thoughts flooded your mind as you dried your face and brushed your teeth. Unbeknownst to you, Eddie’s head was flooded with thoughts too. Only his were of intense excitement that you had asked him to stay. You, the girl of his dreams. The girl who could kick his ass any day at pinball. The girl who rallied your party to defeat his big boss in your D&D game the night before. The girl who was already defending him at school. The girl who made his heart beat out of his chest when you smiled at him. You asked him to stay the night in your bed. He was on Cloud 9.

Eddie changed quickly out of his black jeans into the sleep pants, they just fit his long legs, he also opted to sleep without his shirt as he always got hot when he slept and didn’t want to wake you up with him all sweaty. He was already under the covers on the far side of the bed when you walked back in the room with a soft knock. You had taken off your sweater and were now in a tank top and your shorts. The tattoos on your arms and chest now visible to him. Curves on display. God you were beautiful.

“You don’t mind if I have the radio on while we sleep do you? I can’t sleep in silence very well.” You asked, gesturing to your stereo on the desk.

“Not at all, I like to do that too.” He smiled back at you. You clicked the power button and a local late night radio station started playing through the speakers. You turned off the TV and light as you got situated under the covers with Eddie. Now facing him on your side in the dark as the radio host introduced the next song.

“You’re sure you’re okay with staying right Eddie?” You couldn’t help asking.

Eddie took your hand in his again, “I promise I want to stay sweetheart.” He said, you could just make out his sweet smile in the moonlight coming from the window.

You beamed, “Good, because I like having you here.”

“Me too dolly, me too.” He sighed sleepily. “Good night, beautiful.” He said with a squeeze of his hand, seeming to have no intention of letting go.

“Good night, Eddie.” You said dreamily back. You both fell into silence as the room filled with the music of All Through the Night by Cyndi Lauper from the radio, pulling you both into a peaceful sleep, hand in hand.

“All through the night

I'll be awake and I'll be with you

All through the night

This precious time when time is new

All through the night today

Knowin' that we feel the same without sayin'

We have no past, we won't reach back

Keep with me forward all through the night

And once we start, the meter clicks

And it goes running all through the night

Until it ends, there is no end”

Can you do a summarized version of the K: A Year Later?

You can read all chapters translated here, if you want to get the full story. But if you just need a summary, it's just what it says on the tin: the story of the cast one year after the end of ROK. Each chapter is set up to flow into the next, so usually one character will run into another at the end of their focus chapter and that character will be the focus of the next chapter. The story starts with Kuroh, going over his life at Ashinaka with Shiro and Neko (he helps out at the kendo club and also works at the coffee shop attached to the school). Even with his busy life he still tries to find time to relax and feel the world around him, as Ichigen taught him, and the chapter ends with him meeting Awashima, which is when we learn that Munakata is currently absent.

The second chapter focuses on Awashima, discussing how Munakata basically left on a journey to find himself or whatever and now Awashima's in charge of S4 in his absence. She notices she's gained some weight and tries to quit anko but ultimately a ghost did it (….I'd say it makes sense in context but only in the 'Is Scepter 4 okay' way) so she's good and can once again have anko. She's not the only one giving up things though, as Kusanagi has decided to give up smoking. We get some updates on the Homra alphabet and Kusanagi does his best to function without cigarettes but in the end he has to burn a mud Strain and decides he can keep his cigarettes.

Neko is the one who makes Kusanagi aware of the Strain in his story so the next chapter is hers, showing off her study routine and doing her best. She's made a new friend too, a girl affected by the release of the Slate at the end of ROK, and Neko gets to have cake and study. Eventually there's a knock at the door and Yukari shows up for his chapter, looking for Kuroh. He gets to spend some bonding time with Neko and Shiro before Kuroh comes home and he has some nostalgic feelings about Ichigen too. The chapter ends with Yukari stopping by a liquor store to get some sake and watch the moon, and naturally the store he stops at is the one owned by Kamamoto's family.

Kamamoto's chapter is about his relationship with his childhood friend Ayumi (from Memory of Red and a cameo in Missing Kings). He isn't sure if they're dating or what, but with some advice from Homra he does eventually decide to make their relationship official and even ends up engaged, all while the Homra alphabet (except Chitose, who actually got a girl too) get to be bitter and drink over Kamamoto getting engaged to a girl before them. Speaking of romantic feelings, Yata asks Fushimi on a date asks Fushimi to come over to his place where they play video games and drink cola that they had as kids and spend the night together and it's all very sweet. Afterward Fushimi goes back to S4 and takes care of a Strain situation with perfect skill, because it's the place he belongs after all.

Fushimi's chapter ends with S4 spotting Sukuna on one of their cameras so his chapter is next. Sukuna's living with Yukari and Kotosaka and continuing his training, and one day he runs across his mother. She sees him with a bruise from his training and treats him still like something that was her 'property' so Sukuna fights off her manservant guy and tells her he won't go home with before running off. He happens to spot Anna in her high school uniform and that's our next story about Anna and her new friend Tsubaki. Some bullies who got Red power when the Slate was released try to use Tsubaki to lure Anna somewhere and teach her a lesson, so of course Anna promptly shows up and scares the crap out of them with her King powers. Later she introduces Tsubaki to the Homra guys and they see a huge procession of people coming by, because the King Munakata has returned.

You know how I had some asks about Munakata becoming unintentionally famous in various ways, basically something like that happened and everywhere around the world Munakata went he picked up followers. He ends up in South Africa where he gets a heartfelt letter from Fushimi-kun and decides he must return, bringing his whole entourage along. S4 are all happy to see him and confirm again that Munakata is still their King, and Munakata decides that he is still Munakata Reisi, even without the Slate. He stops by Mihashira, where Shiro's hanging out for our final chapter. Shiro and Munakata have a nice chat (and Shiro says he won't leave the ground anymore because it's not like he said he wouldn't run away a million times in ROK, we've covered this already guys). Shiro stops by both S4 and Homra and then eventually gets to go home with Kuroh and Neko, happily facing the future.

#k project #Talking K #this is a very quick and dirty summary #please read the translations for a proper story I skipped over some things #but not the Sarumi date that happened that was absolutely a date #also Munakata picking up a horde of followers and Fushimi-kun sending him a lovely note

Rpg Anon: Strap in, mod. Cuz I gotta give my two cents on you being interested in Disgaea now.

First of all, I don't anything about what happens in disgaea 6 or 7. Kinda didn't care anymore after the older characters didn't feel like work was done to make their moves modern anymore.

Ok now, if you're that interested just of the hinazumi bit, you can ignore Disgaea 1 and 3. I didn't play them either but they didn't seem too interesting to me. Just know Laharl, Etna, and Flonne are old characters from the first game.

I recommend playing Disgaea 2, 4, and 5. Mostly cuz I biased like these ones. You can play 2 on a psp emulator like I did. 4 is the first game I saw and how I got into the series tho and 5 was pretty fun to watch and had a great story.

Before I gush over the hinazumi-ish details of Adell and Rozalin, important tips for Disgaea 2 tho. 1. DO NOT kill your friends. Friendly fire is always on and it's always a bad idea to accidentally do this in all the games but 2 actually punishes you HARD if you do it way too much. *shivers in fear remembering the Worse Ending* 2. Adell hits REALLY hard if the opponent is stronger than him. Prepare yourself to see him level up like crazy for being a level 100 fighting level 500's. 3. Adell's cowardly scaredycat little brother is the best unit in the game bar none. His aoe attack where desperately flails all around himself does more damage than anything in this game.

Now for the stupid gushiness. Spoilers tho. Adell and Rozalin start off really not wanting to be around each other. They really don't like having to drag or be dragged everywhere. Character Development happens tho and by the end of the game, well, Adell fucking kisses the insanity out of her. 👍. Funny as the credits show her trying to shoot him for doing that. Here comes the reall Hinazumi levels of tsundere lovey dovey shit. Come Disgaea 4, you can recruit them separately as dlc. The thing is, well, they both seem to have secret motives for why they want the job and need the money when you first try to recruit. Turns out they secretly wanted to buy something valuable for the other. (Adell wanted to buy a fancy necklace for Rozalin and Rozalin wanted to buy a new fancy house for Adell) How sweet. However, whoever you recruited first suddenly arrives after the second is beaten and admits their reasons and they feel moved. Cue the lovey dovey atmosphere of "You did all of this for me?" "You were doing all of this for me, too?" "I... um... uh..." *long silence and then the atmosphere burst into colorful hearts and rainbows as they're both lost in their own world, staring at each other in silence* What happens next can only be described as:

Ibuki coming out of nowhere screaming out "OH. MAH. GAWD. These two. Are. MARRIED!!!"

(Cue the tsundere.)

Hinazumi finally realizing everyone was watching: WE'RE NOT MARRIED!!!

Hajime: yeah um um um she's just a freeloader living together with me under the same house!

Mahiru: Hajime, you idiot! You're only giving them more of the wrong idea! Also who are you calling a freeloader?!

Ibuki: You two are definitely married!

Fuyuhiko: Okay okay! That's enough. You're both fucking hired. Work together as husband and wife to make money for the business, you two.

Hinazumi: We're not married!

(This was fun to go thru again.)

From then on, it gets more and more intimate and hilarious. Honestly, I wish I could gush over it more but I don't have time.

//Ok, so I checked out a video on what you were talking about, and I'll link it here.

youtube

//So there's two possible outcomes, as RPG said, and they both give off this absolutely perfect tsundere romance vibe. This is the most Hinazumi thing I have ever fucking seen, and I adore it.

//Kaguya-sama wishes it could be this good.

//And what's funny is I imagine this being a potential story interaction for the Survivor RPG we brainstormed a while ago. Except maybe instead, it's just Ibuki and the other Remnants teasing Hinazumi that they are stupid in love and married.

So this may be a bit weird, but I would like to get some people's opinions on a personal matter.

I'm going to put it under a read more so people who aren't interested don't have to scroll through it, and because I think this might get a bit lenghty... (Edit after writing: it did)

So in no way are you obligated to read this, obviously, but if you do, feel free to give me your opinion because I could use some different insights.

Thanks!

Okay, so...

Like, 15 years ago, I met a couple of people online because we were all hardcore into a tv show. We had a group chat and I'm pretty sure everyone had individual chats as well.

In this group, there was this guy who I started talking to a lot and over the course of a few years, he pretty much became my best friend. He lived in a neighbouring country, was a year older than me and we really became very close. We talked every single day, all throughout the day, during evenings, constantly.

We could talk about everything, literally everything. We were both nerdy and into similar tv shows that we would watch together on screenshare could theorise for hours. He'd introduce me to video games that we would play with other friends and all.

We would send each other gifts for birthdays. He would read the stupid fanfics I wrote based on tv shows we both loved. I made him an entire, like, "subscription box" with a lot of things from all the fandoms he was into during lockdown because I just wanted to be busy and I really enjoy these kinds of things. I helped him financially when he got screwed over by a friend, he paid it back when he could. When his childhood dog died, I sent him a painted rock with his dog's name on it to put on the grave, something my family does for our pets when they die.

Just, actual best friend. Always there for each other.

Of course we had our ups and downs. We had arguments from time to time. I'm not the best communicator because I always think things are obvious and get annoyed when people don't understand things, which led to miscommuncation. And we're both stubborn so whenever we had an argument, we never wanted to be the one to take the first step to apologize until one of us finally caved.

In general, we always made up.

But... of course, boy-girl friendship, so many people would insinuate things. Friends of his, friends of mine, his mum, friends of my mum,... Which made things confusing because we were really close but were we more than friends? Or did one of us feel more than the other? Did both of us? We sometimes talked about it but were both like, "I don't think so?"

We never met in real life. We also never talked on the phone or in video call or voice chatted while gaming or something similar. We just never did. It just grew that way that we just chatted. We'd sent some photos a few years into the friendship (when we were like 15-16), maybe a few during the years after that, but never really sent pictures. We were both not into that because we're both quite insecure about ourselves. I mean, I know I am, but when I told him that, he said he felt that way as well. So yeah, never an issue tbh.

But the issues did start...

Skip to very late 2022, very early 2023 when he suddenly, after like 13 years, told me that he'd lied about his age. He turned out to be a year younger than me (so 2 years younger than he'd claimed to be). He told me he did it everywhere because way back when we met, he told people he was a bit older to be taken more seriously.

And I got mad.

Not because of the age difference, what do I care. But about the fact that he lied about it for so many years??

He'd told all his online friends, so it wasn't like he had lied just to me, but I felt betrayed because I thought I was a step ahead of his other friends and that he would've told me the truth before them.

Besides that, I also kind of have trust issues. So when someone you consider to be your best friend for over 10 years suddenly tells you they'd been lying to you all this time... Not fun.

And things escalated from there.

I got mad for being lied to all this time (for the act of being lied to. Like I said, the age difference really doesn't matter, but the fact that he lied about it for so long. Like, I'd wish him a happy xth birthday every year, so every year he made the conscious decision to not tell the truth. That's what bothered me).

I got mad about when I told him I told a mutual friend (one from the original group that I still talked to but he didn't), he got mad because he wanted to tell that group himself, which made me feel like I couldn't talk about it with anyone.

I got mad that he sent me reactions from other friends (people I didn't know) of how they reacted to him telling the truth about his age, which made me feel like I wasn't allowed to be annoyed by it because "look, no one else is making a problem out of this".

I told him all of this and eventually we got into a huge argument. And it got really ugly.

I told him that he couldn't see my side of things in the whole thing and that he made me feel like crap because I felt like I was the only one making a problem out of it. And because he was mad I told someone he "knew" (but didn't talk to anymore) about the lie, I told him I felt like I had to bottle up how I felt about it.

He eventually snapped at me that I was a very selfish person. That it always had to be the things I enjoyed, never the things he liked. Something he had never brought up before. Something I didn't understand because I truly felt like we did a lot of things he enjoyed as well, like certain tv shows, games... (not saying I'm not at fault here, because in hindsight he was kind of right about it, I just never realised it because he never brought it up).

He sent all this in a long message, in which he told me he didn't want to be friends anymore. He asked me if there was anything I wanted back (of the gifts I'd sent him over the years) and told me that there was nothing that he'd sent that he wanted back.

I didn't reply to the message anymore.

I blocked and deleted him everywhere. Discord, his phone number, e-mail. Blocked and deleted him on Steam. Really any place or platform I could think of, I blocked him.

I was done.

He didn't want to be friends anymore. He told me I was a selfish person after everything I'd done for him when his other friends wouldn't. I was so pissed. So I didn't want anything to do with him anymore. And for me it's easier to completely block and delete a person; that way I can't contact them myself anymore. Just, cold turkey.

Which of course wasn't easy. You can't just throw away all those years and just move on from it. But having deleted him did make it easier because I had no way of reaching out.

I talked about it with the one friend I told about the age difference and she would often compare him to a narcissistic ex of hers. How she always had a bad feeling about him. Which is helpful when you're mad at someone. It sort of helped me villainise him.

So I tried to move on. Some days it was easier than others. Other days were really annoying because he has a name that you see fcking everywhere. So everytime I saw his name somewhere, I got reminded to all of it and so on and so forth.

But yeah, I didn't reach out. Neither did he (because he literally couldn't reach me). And I slowly accepted the fact that we weren't friends anymore and each went our own way.

Skip to end of August 2023, like 9 months later.

I opened Whatsapp to message a friend and saw that I had a message from an unknown number. I immediately saw that it was a number from the neighbouring country and just knew that it was him.

He asked if we could talk. I took a while to reply because I didn't know what to say. Because part of me was done with it all and had started to be used to not having him in my life, but part of me was also curious what he had to say. So after a few hours I replied telling him, sure, let's talk.

So he sent a long message apologizing for what he'd said and that he should've handled things differently and that he understands if I didn't want to talk to him anymore, but that he just wanted me to know all of it because he didn't want me to believe the things he'd said (kind of too late for that because now every time I talk about my stuff to friends, I have this voice in my head that goes "see, it has to be about you again, just like he said").

I told him this and we sent a couple of long messages explaining our points of views and how we felt about what happened and how we both could've handled things differently (I know that he's not the only one to blame. I have trust issues, am a chronic overthinker and am bad at communicating, hence why we often had miscommunication and arguments).

Either way, we eventually started talking again. Talked about what had happened in the time we didn't talk. I talked about my new job, he told me about a bunch of things he'd been up to (which included starting to go out to clubs, drinking, use several dr*gs to calm his stressed mind, which I kind of understand but am really not a fan of... but sure). After we started talking, he also suffered a brain injury from a fall for which he had to stay in the hospital for a while and which obviously influenced his life in several ways.

We fell back into old habits. Talking, watching shows together, gaming and it was nice. We did have little arguments from time to time, but I feel like we both tried a lot harder to not have it escalate like before.

But then I'd started having a hard time at work and other things and just having a bit of a mental slump, which I wanted to talk/rant about. He wanted to hear me out, but he took a while to reply because of stuff at work. And because of what he said before, about it always being about me, which got stuck in my head, I didn't want to immediately talk about my stuff, but his stuff instead. He did ask multiple times about what had happened, but I didn't want to reply to it before he'd explained what was going on with his work because I was scared of being selfish again.

Eventually, I didn't end up telling him about my stuff, not because I didn't want to, but because of what I said before about being scared that I'd come across as selfish again. Like I said, he did ask about it on multiple occasions, so it's really on me here. But by the time he had explained what had happened at work and all, I wasn't in my slump anymore. And when he asked why I didn't want to talk about it anymore, we got into another argument.

I explained him how what he'd said in the past, about the selfish thing, really messed with me, which made me hold back from talking about my stuff. He told me he asked many times to tell him what had happened, which is completely true, this one is really on me and I can't blame him for anything here. But things escalated again...

I called him out about how, when we first started talking again and were sending long messages, I'd sent him a long message with a bunch of stuff that I honestly not remember anymore. But it was a very open and personal message about insecurities and owning up to mistakes I'd made towards him in the past and such. He had told me, after reading the message, that he'd need to reread it to reply to it properly. That was in October.

To this day, I still haven't received a reply to that message (and I know I never will).

So I called him out on that. I told him that he was the one who reached out initially, that I was doing relatively well without him and that it sucks that he came back only for him to not respond to my heartfelt messages (I'd been bottling the annoyance about the message up for a while). He told me that he had the intention to reply, but kept forgetting, even though I had reminded him a few times. I told him that if you care about someone, if you call them one of the most important people in your life, you don't just forget those kinds of things. Because those things should be important to you, and you don't forget important things.

I also told him that it annoyed me that when I had asked him to tell me more about some things he'd mentioned he'd done while we weren't talking (traveled to the US, met up with a group of online friends,...) he never did. This bothered me because he had accused me of always making it about me, but then when I constantly made an effort to ask about his stuff, and was genuinely interested in it, he didn't reply to it.

To this he replied that those kinds of things (the travel and all) weren't big things to him. That we talked about deeper things (true) so to him, these "normal" things meant less than our deeper conversations.

Which is very nice of him to say, but it also bothered me because you can't tell me I'm not interested in your stuff, but then when I am and am asking questions about it, not reply to it.

(I feel like I'm getting angry again, sorry)

Long story short, we didn't talk again for a few weeks.

After a while, I messaged him again. We again exchanged some long messages. And again, after I sent him a long text explaining how I felt about certain things, he told me he'd reread my message so he could reply properly. He told me a few times that he was working on his reply, to which I joked that it didn't have to be an essay.

This was a few months ago. To this day, again, I haven't received a message to my text.

So I was annoyed with that because it sucks to sent a very open and personal message and not receive a reply to it, multiple times.

I'd also told him, when I first messaged him again after that last argument, that I'd understand if he wanted to call it quits but that in that case I'd have a question for him. In his defence, he did ask about what question it was.

So I asked him what was actually going on between us. For so many years, multiple people had shipped us, we'd both make innuendo jokes and just the fact that we were so close, I told him it was confusing and wanted to hear his thoughts on it.

Instead of replying to it, he asked me how I felt about it, so I told him that it was just confusing because it was as if others saw things that we maybe didn't because we'd been so close for so long. To this he just replied, yeah, I agree, it's confusing, without really adding his take on it. But I didn't pry any further (maybe because I got tired of constantly getting half replies or no replies at all).

We still chatted a bit after that, but our last conversation had a very strange vibe. We were talking about the person who'd accidentally caused his brain injury (a friend of his) and I was kinda pissed at that person and told him I hoped they'd at least offered to help pay for medical bills and such, since they did cause the accident, but he didn't want to hear anything about that because it was an accident and his friend didn't mean to (fair, sure, but it still irks me a bit).

So it was a very loaded conversation, as if we were both trying to not cause an argument.

Eventually, I just told him ok in regards to the situation, to which he sent me a gif.

And that was three months ago.

We haven't talked since. And because of the weird vibe and in some sort of self-preservation, I blocked his number again. We could still message using other ways, but none of us did.

I think the reason I didn't is because of all the replies I didn't get. I don't know why he hasn't messaged me, but I assume he has his reasons.

Now, if you made it all the way here, holy shit?? Thanks for reading all of this and I hope you enjoyed the drama of it lol

But if you made it all the way here, I would really like your opinion on this. His birthday is coming up in a few days and... Do I reach out? Do I reach out before his birthday or on his birthday? Or are you shouting at me right now to not reach out again?

I genuinely don't know.

Part of me feels like it'd be best to just let it all go and move on, but another part of me doesn't want to give up on my best friend of 15 years.

So... Any advice? I'm open for anything...

Thanks again for reading all of this if you made it here! You're the best! <3

Shameless Headcanons!

Ever wonder what your favorite characters would be like, especially when you hang out with them? Here are some ideas my silly brain came up with:

Fiona: Fi, with her life as busy as it is with her siblings, wants to make time for herself. Specifically when it comes to self care, her favorite thing to do is face masks and skin care. When you two hang out, you love experimenting with makeup, after a good smoke session in the backyard. (If you don’t smoke, Fi finds you a snack to munch on in the meantime.)

Frank: Needless to say, hanging out with Frank is chaotic… sat that’s the least of it. Expect yourself to get blasted drunk at a bar (several, actually), and probably run from the cops on foot. Can’t really think of much else. It’s Frank, and exactly what you would expect.

Kev and V: Honestly, the two of them would let you hang out at the bar all day, playing pool with V on occasion. They’re both busy with work, but still love spending time with you. Outside of work, you three spend time with the Gallaghers, hanging around in the living room, watching horror movies or playing video games.

Lip: With Lip, you’re usually the study buddy. At one point or another, he has tried to flirt with you, and makes the occasional jab at why you won’t just ‘bang one out’ already. He helps you with any sort of homework you have. Time spent with him is laid back and quiet, and the two of you could talk for hours about random subjects.

Ian: Time with Ian is productive. Being a more goal-driven man, Ian tends to stay at work or doing his activist work with the LGBTQ+ scene. With some free time, you two go to Boystown and find the best bars around, meeting new people and making new friends. Afterward, you always get some diner food and take the leftovers home.

Carl: We don’t see it a lot in the show, but Carl likes sharing stories about things he’s done. Petty crimes and vandalism, stories from his time locked up, how he became a cop and why. He asks you about yourself, and listens intently, comforting you if it gets bad. Afterward, hell even before, you would smoke when you went out for a walk around the neighborhood.

Debbie: Time with Debbie means time with Franny. She sees how much her daughter has bonded with you, and it makes her heart flutter. You and Debbie take Franny to the park and out on the town, and your favorite is the local pool, spending your time in the water and catching some sun. When it’s just you alone, Debbie likes to cook with you, and plan for friends to come over.

LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE SHEILA:

Bonus character, Sheila: She loves quality time with you. Whether it be baking, crafting, or watching television, Sheila makes sure that your time together is clam and fulfilling. When it’s been cold outside, she’ll show you how she makes an amazing herbal tea, and whip up a cozy meal.

German bros + Russia reacting to a reader begging them to buy an axolotl

⭐️Enjoy ⭐️

🇩🇪Germany🇩🇪

“Ludwig looks there is the sea creature section! Let’s go!” There was an added pep in your step when you saw the blue green multicolored glass that had a mythical glow to it. The beloved animal close to your heart was a mere few feet away from you. You watched ten maybe fifteen axolotls glinde through the water like aqua born angels that had their feathers as their ears. Other axolotls were nestled behind some of the fake seaweed and hollow rocks having an afternoon siesta. They peaked out at you with their beady eyes as some of their faces took on a form of delighted surprise. These faces were that of what you’d imagine that cherubs would have when playing under the water. You were in awe and off into the whimsical aquatic world of your own. You didn't realize that your German best friend had left your side to handle some business.

‘Y/N really likes them so I’ll acquire some and they’ll want to be over at my place more often.’

“Excuse me, clerk. I’d like to buy four axolotls please.”

“Of course sir let me grab some from the case and they’ll be about thirty five Euros each.”

“No problem.” He gets out his wallet as the clerk and her coworker grab some of the small salamanders from one of the tanks. As he saw them gently place the aquatic angels into a portable aquarium. “We can deliver the full home aquarium for them by 9pm tonight. Thank you for your purchase.” A small smile forms on the stony Germans face. He was thinking about all the ways that you and him could bond over simple beings. He went back to where he left you and sure enough you were still there mesmerized by the scene before you.

“Y/N let's go home now so we can make dinner and you can become more acquainted with your new friends.” There was an abnormal hint of glee in his voice so you turned around to see why he was so excited. You eyes met with his blue ones then they wandered down to the rectangular miniature aquarium.

“You bought axolotls WHAT?!?!?!”

“I wanted us to have something we could bond over together.”

“Aw Ludwig.” You wander over and give him a kiss on the cheek. “Well I’m game if you are.”

“Vhat are you doing? It's almost 3am and you're still up? Vile also has a presentation tomorrow that is worth 40% of your grade. Are you crazy? What are you giggling about late into the night?” The albino man that had bags under his eyes from being awoken from his REM sleep cycle due to a rapturous laughter that broke out in your room that was next to his whenever you stayed the night in his home. His eyes were slightly bloodshot and irritated. You didn’t answer him because you had on your noise canceling headphones and your eyes were glued to the screen that was on Youtube. It was playing one of the many videos you had fell into when you began to explore the axolotl rabbithole. The current video you were consuming was that of an axolotl jumping at the person holding the camera when they told a bad pun that it didn’t like a-lotl.

“Sup bro.” Was the only think you could think to say when you saw your sleep deprived Prussian friend. He shakes your chair violently because he can be an asshole at times. He cares about you but has a really strange way of showing it.

“Ahhhh Gilbert no!” You couldn’t help but laugh at his dumb attempt to dominate, scare, or show power over you or whatever.

“Y/N have you seen zhe time? You’re going to look like shit tomorrow if you don’t get any sleep. Not to mention you won’t give a compelling argument if you’re just mumbling your words.” Concerned but he needed to be pushy if he wanted you to listen.

“But they're so cute! I just need to watch one more and-”

“NEIN! IN DEIN BETT JETZT! SCHLAFEN JETZT!” You knew he was angry when he began to only use German. He cares about you as a good friend but thinks you don’t make the best decisions sometimes. He sees the frown manifest itself on your face and feels a pang of guilt in his gut. After a few moments of thinking he came up with a solution that would make you less irritated about having to go to bed and having to be an adult.

“If you get a B+ or higher I’ll get you some and help you raise some axolotls but ONLY if you hit the sheets now.”

Nothing in your life has ever gotten you into bed faster.

🇷🇺 Russia 🇷🇺

While he was scouring your house for more information about you he needed more cannon fodder to do so. He needed some dirt he could throw at you in order to stop you from winning the debates that were coming in the next couple of weeks. He wanted that newly vacated seat in the World Government and he didn’t want to let you have it because you were from a micronation that only had a miniscule amount of power that he held in one finger compared to your entire nation. Which was daunting but didn’t faze you in any capacity. You seemed infallible and he hated that.

He needed to find ways to tarnish your reputation quickly. He knew well enough that you possessed all the abilities that were required to become a head diplomat: agility, quick as a whip, compassionate, and you knew all the rules and regulations of the United Government (UG). Your track record of maintaining peace in trying times that could have led to war as one of the seven lead delegates to the prime minister in your nation made you the most qualified candidate with the most accolades to your name. Not to mention you were second in your class at an Ivy League school. Magna Cum Laude.

You were a thorn in his side. And he needed to get rid of you. You were the more popular delegare for the coveted position and you were luring in the tougher to reach demographics that Ivan had a great deal of trouble relating to. And he hates losing so he really wanted to rid the world of you. He continued to delicately rummage through your study until he opened one of your drawers that held your journal in it.

“Jackpot.” Overly excited he opened it right away without too much regard for being caught at that moment. To his surprise it wasn’t the information he was hoping for. The “journal” he stumbled upon was more like a scrapbook filled with numerous pictures of pale pink salamanders that was decorated with glitter, ribbons, and streamers.

“What the hell?” Confused and wondering what he stumbled upon. Regardless, he took the book with him and had his advisors devise a plan to use the book against you. Let’s just say a few weeks later he showed up at you house with 10 Aloxoltols trying to threaten you by sating that he was going to murder each and everyone of them in your face. When you opened the door to greet him he was surprised to be pummeled by you and all of your affectionate kisses on the cheek and forehead that you did to him. He was in essence a pile of snow that could only give you one word answers while you praised him for giving you your new companions.

“Ivan, I didn't know you could be this thoughtful.” You beamed sunshine at his soul. Making him unable to speak intelligible words. “I’ll become one with you or whatever.” Not really caring what that actually meant but you knew he said it a loud a lot at international meetings.

Needless to say you still became the new United Government delegate with a Russian boyfriend that was really docile when he was around you.
