#I am in fact such a soft person but I always wanna appear tough and cool

Sometimes I think “God, I am just like Ed” and then I start putting him on a pedestal and make big paragraphs to say that he never did anything wrong in his life and how he’s actually just a very soft person that is hurting deep inside and needs a forehead kiss and then I look in the mirror and realize that I am in fact Stede Bonnet.

since we’re about to hit episode ten, here’s a few things i love that each cast member is doing
travis
~first off, the balls to do that fakeout
~the fact that he joined them for the intro every time even when he wasn’t going to play? such a tease
~the way he’s created two characters that are clearly joke characters, but imbues them with a lot of empathy 
~bertrand’s last night; he brought so much to it that lends to the tragedy
~using his past experiences as fjord to understand how fucking fun teasing dorian would be 
~honestly, just the fact that he makes an effort and consistently engages with robbie
robbie
~the aesthetic is just *chef’s kiss* right here
~slipping up and saying “the nine of us” because he counted matt
~he doesn’t use a ton of spells, but when he does, it’s very effective
~not afraid to look bad; this can be really tough with roleplay but he doesn’t seem to care if he looks like an idiot 
~setty
~everything going on effects dorian- he’s very active and reactive to what’s going on in the game
marisha
~the entire concept of laudna is a delight
~her choice of voice; the contrast between such a cheery voice and her appearance is perfect
~the conversation about love; it was such a genuine exploration of a nebulous sort of topic
~how marisha commits to the joints cracking and popping; as someone with arthritis, it makes me laugh and wanna take tylenol at the same time
~bringing delilah back- just a delightful choice
~the way marisha seems fine with the fact that most npcs hate/fear her even though that’s obviously inconvenient
sam
~taking the leap into robots
~how he keeps finding new ways to play small characters 
~also he/they! hell yeah!
~the decision to play a therapist friend who’s actually a really bad therapist is really intriguing to me, and i can’t wait to see where he takes it
~the foreshadowing he’s already doing for the inevitable “actually i am a deeply tragic character” moment
~pussy
ashley
~ashley looks so happy and relaxed knowing she’s here full time and it makes my heart so happy
~the gale ad
~fearne really allows her to be funny in a way she hasn’t gotten to before and it’s a delight
~little mister, our favorite seven year old
~most chaotic characters are so loud, having a really soft-spoken one only makes her chaos even more shocking 
~whatever’s going on with her hand and how that may tie into what we saw in exu
laura
~the decision to play a human
~this is a weird thing to latch onto but i love imogen’s color palette 
~laura’s dedication to making sure that her powers are just as much a hindrance as they are helpful, since that’s clearly such an important part of who she is
~honestly, how open imogen is with her boundaries. it can be really hard to set those sometimes even in real life but she does this wonderfully
~how much she clearly cares about launda
~calling fcg letters
liam
~his commitment to reminding us that orym is a halfling, especially with his physical acting
~the way he’s so on top of all of his fighter abilities and makes the most of them
~playing a dex-based fighter; it’s legit just cool
~his signature liam o’brien small acting moments 
~the way he clearly loves keyleth so much still and has no problem showing it
~when matt made a phantom of the opera joke and he inexplicably started singing les miz
taliesin
~he/they!
~honestly i feel like ashton is a refined version of molly in a lot of ways with a clearer moral compass; i feel like i’ve met this person and loved them
~once again, the aesthetic; taliesin always goes off but ashton in particular is cool
~the “pretending not to care about these people but also i bought you all breakfast sandwiches” style of friendship is so fun to me
~mechanically, just so cool. they’re so fun in combat
~the mystery of it all! what’s going on here, bud? 
matt
~so many great npcs: lord eshteross, pretty, cyrus, everybody at the crook house, etc.
~i feel like a lot of the “normal” people are extra fun this time around; all of our random store owners and criminal contacts act very realistically, but in a fun way that reminds us that what our heroes are doing is absolutely insane
~imogen’s dream about bertrand
~the worldbuilding of jrusar is very interesting and odd, and im excited to see how it all goes down
~really interesting, unique monsters from the get go
~he’s clearly making the most of the new set up and i can’t wait to see what else he does with it

Right behind you:(Bodyguard!Santiago “Pope” Garcia x M!Celebrity!reader)
Tumblr media
This is my offering for this week’s #writerwednesday from @autumnleaves1991-blog, which this week is joint with @flightlessangelwings’ Jey’s Pride celebration! 🥳
The verbal prompt was: glitter and/or “I’ll always be by your side.”
The visual prompt is the photo below.
This gave me the idea for a very quickly written one shot with bodyguard!Santi and male celebrity reader! I hope you like it!
Warnings: food mentions; mentions of panic attack / hyperventilating. Mentions of sensory overload. One mention of Santi “sucking off” reader. Language. TYPOS, undoubtedly.
Rating: mature for mentions of oral sex but no explicit / actual smut.
Gender stuff: he/him pronouns / masc! terms of endearment used for reader. Implied that reader is a penis owner - no other physical descriptions besides reader wearing a suit and some make-up.
Genre: angst then mainly fluff and happiness! Hurt / comfort, I guess.
ALSO: BONUS CAMEO FROM ANOTHER OSCAR CHARACTER. Did you spot him?
Tumblr media
You perch on the couch in your suite, taking steadying breaths and trying desperately to ward off hyperventilation as your bodyguard grips your trembling hand firmly in his. The air is quaking in and out of your lungs and you can no longer help the tears which spike in your eyes and spill over on to your cheeks.
He gives your fingers a squeeze as he crouches before you, and you can’t help the surge of guilt that this is so far outside of his job description. He’s meant to protect you, not comfort you. His work centres on your physical well-being, but you can’t count the times he’s bolstered your emotional well-being too. Then again, this is the only time he’s done so quite as blatantly in front of the rest of your staff, perhaps.
“Oh no, don’t you dare cry, sweetie,” your make-up artist - who will not be getting rehired you decide suddenly- flaps around you, attempting to fuss over you with a tissue. Her panic about her work being ruined at the worst possible moment is plain as day, and it only makes your chest constrict further.
“This isn’t helping” is the only thought blaring loudly in your mind, but you cannot for the life of you push the words out right now. You shut your eyes in an attempt to block it all out. To subdue the sensory overload.
You are thankful that your bodyguard intuits that sentiment on your behalf when you can’t, and you hear his voice is coming from a different angle now, his head whipped sharply sideward and up towards the offending MUA.
“For real? Ffff....” you close your eyes and hear Santi bite down on a curse. You’d laugh if you weren’t so preoccupied, trying desperately to focus on his voice amidst the chaotic, intersecting hubbub of the room. “Ma’am, could you please back the shit up?” He bites. Apparently he can’t stifle the cursing entirely.
Your limp hand travels along with his as he waves his arm around emphatically. “In fact. Out. Everyone out. Now. Please.”
His request slices through the nervous air in the room, his words deep and commanding and delivered with an authority that you doubt anyone would dare question. This man must be obeyed, and in the back of your mind you congratulate yourself for your decision to take a chance on hiring this moody ex-soldier with creaky knees. When he needed to he could certainly clear a room. And on top of that, he offers you a whole lot more besides.
Indeed, here he is, going above and beyond, kneeling on said creaky knees for you. Protecting you, and comforting you too.
Your eyes are still closed as the room gradually quietens, until it is so still you could hear a pin drop. Until you can hear the steady rise and fall of Santi’s breath. Until you can hear the delicate wet noise of his lips parting so his tongue can skim his lips. You can hear him swallow.
As you hear the sound of the final remaining person shuffle out, and the door gently click closed behind them, you are finally able to peel open your eyes. You are able finally able to release your bottom lip from the grip of your teeth, an indent having formed where you have bitten down so hard you have threatened to draw blood.
Santi is as still as death as he waits, and as soon as he hears that final click, he is moving. Only then, does he allow his (thin) veneer of professionalism to collapse. He allows the flats of his palms to snake up your thighs, rubbing reassuring shapes into you, and you feel the familiar heat and press of of him through the luxe fabric of your suit trousers.
“Look at me, cariño,” he soothes, in a deep, fond tone, entirely different to those bitten off commands reserved for the rest of your entourage. “It’s just you and me now. Look at me, baby.”
You do. You look into his big brown eyes and you and he could be the only two people in the world, never mind the room. You sniff, and you fumble away a stray tear before settling your palms on top of his.
You slow your breathing and Santi flashes you a small, proud smile. “That’s it, honey. Nice and slow. Just like that.”
Then, he flinches, his head leaning to the side as though he could physically retreat from whatever angry voice is no doubt blaring into his ear. Then, he makes a point of taking the earpiece out altogether, letting it hang over the collar of his white shirt.
He tugs in a huge exhale too, letting go of the tension he held in his body through his concern for you, although his eyes slit flit around your face in residual concern.
“They’ll be mad you did that,” you warn, with a nod to his earpiece.
“Whatever. It’s not my job to get you to the red carpet on time. It’s my job to look after you.”
“Your job? Hmm? That all I am to you?”
He flashes you a lopsided smile as you tease him. “I’m a lucky man. My job happens to be a thing I love doing outside of work too.” You lift your palm to his face, the familiar texture of his stubble beneath your fingers. “Now, honey. No rush. But do you wanna tell me what’s going on?”
You look away from him then as you realise he won’t let you distract him enough to avoid the true issue at hand, but his hands are still languidly smoothing your thighs, and you know he won’t make you do anything you don’t want to before you’re ready. He might dole out some tough love, eventually, but not until he is sure that you can take it. He lets you fumble until you find the words. “It’s... even the thought of it, Santi. This is the biggest thing I’ve ever done. All those cameras. All those eyes on me, I...”
Santi shushes you, as he hears the resurgent panic creep into your voice, even as your fingertips idly trace over his handsome features, a self-soothing unconscious thing, as he continues to kneel before you.
But while you may be panicked, he’s smiling. Looking up at you earnestly. “You deserve all those eyes on you, hermoso.” You don’t mind at all that when his voice comes out now it’s both fond and a just a little dirty as his own, very attentive eyes sweep over you.
“I don’t know...” You nibble on your lip again.
“Baby. You deserve this night. You’ve worked so hard for this. You’re so talented. And holy shit. You look so fucking hot in this suit I can barely function.” You let out a small, tentative laugh, which Santi seems pleased by, his own eyes creasing at the corners in return. “Besides,” he continues, tone more earnest now, his thick brows raised as he hammers his point home. “I’ll be right there. Just a few steps behind you, okay, mi Principe?”
You take one more deep breath, expelling it slowly and steadily through the “o” of your mouth, and Santi can’t resist your pursed lips a moment longer. Yet, for all his comments about how hot you are, his kiss is not as devouring as you might expect. It is a soft, tender thing, barely skimming your lips, and yet even so it appears to inspire a reverent heat in him, his eyelashes fanned on his cheek as his eyes remain closed a moment longer. As he expels a gust of disbelieving air at how you make him feel from this alone.
“Or,” he proposes, his voice breathy. “We could sack this whole thing off? We could order chilli cheese fries to the room and I can suck you off until you can’t think straight?”
You kiss him again, this time giving him just a hint of tongue, even as you laugh musically into his open, increasingly eager mouth.
“Appealing as that sounds, my love, I probably shouldn’t miss this...” you nod your head towards the door “...lil thing.”
“Yeah. Probably.” Santi concedes with a fond, lopsided smile, his eyes flashing with adoration, until he reluctantly schools himself back to something resembling professionalism. He gives you a few moments to gather yourself, and for his... eagerness to subside, before asking “You ready?”.
You nod. “Ready as I’m gonna get.”
“There he is. That’s my man.” Santi gives your thighs one more squeeze before he stands, and you swear you hear his poor knees creak; and then, he is replacing his ear piece, his face becoming all business as he presses two fingers to his ear. “Kolpakov? We’re ready to move out. Everyone in position?”
He awaits the response before turning back to you, practically gasping as he sees you stood there in all your glory for the first time. His eyes sweep up and down the length of you. He shakes his head incredulously, switching his mic off for a moment more. “Fuck me. You look like a fucking dream.”
“Not so bad yourself,” you respond in a loving, flirtatious tone, dancing your fingertips across his chest as you sweep past him towards the doorway and he turns with you as if in your thrall.
As you prepare, taking another deep breath and gripping the handle, Santi reaches for your arm, delaying you for just another moment. “Santi,” you laugh. “We can do the chilli cheese fries later, I promise.”
But that’s not quite what he has in mind. He looks at you intensely, and he cups your face in his broad palm. “Don’t forget. You deserve those eyes on you. But if you get overwhelmed, know that my eyes are on you. Wherever you go, I’ll be right behind you.”
The sentiment and sincerity with which he says this makes your mouth fall open in shock. Makes your chest constrict with happiness rather than nerves - but you aren’t afforded the opportunity to respond. In the next moments, the door is flung open, and your entourage is flooding you, barking directions and whisking you down the staircase and out on to the red carpet.
You are pulled away from Santi, and you don’t get to be near him again, besides a quick, surreptitious whisper into the shell of your ear as he follows you out the door “we need to talk about your ass in these pants because holy shit” - but that is all you can steal.
True to his word though, wherever you go he is right behind you. He is there with a firm arm to form a protective wall should a photographer come too close, or a fan get too handsy over a barrier. He is standing, stern and formidable to your rear as you provide sound bites to the tv stations forming a line up to the venue (and, trying very hard not to ogle your ass in these pants, probably).
He’s right behind you, designed to fade into the background in every sense. For all his charisma, he’s good at it. Not drawing attention. Even his suit is designed to be non-descript.
But... that’s not where he should be, you realise.
And, when you are almost at the end of the carpet, you stop in your tracks. You hesitate, and you turn around, your gaze instantly finding him in the crowd. He looks concerned, alarmed, as though you may have gotten the jitters again and like you might be about to do a runner.
But that’s not it. That’s not it at all.
In fact, you are more calm and sure than you have been all evening, looking at his befuddled, deer in headlights expression as all the attention suddenly falls on him. He has some big talk and a tough exterior, but the centre of him is soft, and you love that about him.
And so, a cautious smile blooms on your face as you settle firmly on your plan of action, and you walk determinedly in the “wrong” direction, going against the stream of attendees and making a beeline for your love, as he, for once -your man of action- stands frozen in confusion.
Then, when you arrive at him you stop, placing both your hands flat on the lapels of his suit, smoothing them down.
“What are you-?” he begins to ask, but you cut him off.
“Santi, my love. This is ridiculous. I don’t want you behind me. I want you by my side. Where you should be. So, fuck it. Will you do me the honour of accompanying me to this premiere?”
He answers with a smile. With sparkling eyes. With his arms flung around your waist. With the press of his curved lips against yours, and a slip of his supple tongue. “Baby. I’ll always be by your side.” His hands slip a little lower. “Or - you know - sometimes right behind you.” He winks at you. God, you adore this idiot.
So, you wrap your arms around him, guffawing fondly into his neck before kissing him again, more deeply, not caring who’s watching. Your face splits with a beaming smile as you break from the embrace and link your arm into his, proceeding to walk up the carpet again: together this time.
“Fuck me though, honey,” Santi leans over to confide in you as he straightens up his tie, as if suddenly noticing the photographers for the first time now that they are noticing him. “You could have warned me you were going to french me on the red carpet, I would have put on a better suit.”
You laugh warmly as he continues to babble, and you reassure him that he looks perfect.
You know he’s doing his best to mask it, but he’s the nervous one now - you can tell. “Don’t worry, handsome,” you reassure. “Just you and me, remember?”
No-one else in the world.
“Jesus. How do you do this?” he asks, balking at all of the camera flashes going off in his face, his voice choked.
Luckily, Kolpakov - his second in command- figures out what’s happening and takes the cue to intervene, shifting the line back just a little to give the two of you some space. A good job too as you see beads of sweat forming on your love’s brow.
“How do I do this?” you ponder. “Well, I always have you to protect me, right?” You squeeze his arm tenderly. “And I’ll protect you now, my darling.”
This- having him by your side? You have no doubt that this feels right. It is where he has been all along, albeit only in the shadows. In private moments. But tonight, as he encouraged you into the spotlight, you realised how little you cared for hiding. You need him with you.
“Jesus,” Santi chuckles, looking around and trying to take everything in. “The boys are gonna have a fucking field day with this one. I didn’t even tell them we were dating.”
“What the hell, Garcia?!” you chide fondly, mouth open in a shocked “o”, before beginning to chatter and banter away with him as you easily fall into step together. Distracting him from his nerves like he always does for you.
With Santi by your side, you no longer care about all of the other eyes on you. All of the camera flashes. The crowds. Those watching at home.
You’re proud of your achievements. You’re proud of your relationship. And besides, the only eyes on you which you pay any heed to are his. Santiago’s gorgeous brown eyes, which, right now, shine with nothing but pride.
Yours shine right back.
You think he is the one who deserves all eyes on him, tonight.

Gem Steven’s gem is flipped upside-down. (Theory/Speculation time!)
SPOILERS FOR @spudinacup’s SU AU “Gone Wrong”!
Also WARNING: long post!
So recently, someone pointed out that Steven has a scar on his torso going across his gem’s location, which I found interesting in and of itself. Makes sense, since he wasn’t able to heal it since he DIED and his gem was shoved out of his body before it got the chance to heal him. That slash mark is there now. Wow, neat! Nice detai-
Tumblr media
Wait.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hold on a sec.
Is his gem... flipped upside-down? Well, it’s been like this for a while, maybe it’s just a creative choi-
Tumblr media
...oh.
This is VERY intentional.
So I did some digging, and found much more symbolism and possible foreshadowing, and now I want to throw out my theory about Gem Steven here, including his potential arc and character development. I’ll try to keep everything brief while still blowing your minds, and I’ll try to get across what my jumbled mind has come up with.
Spud please notice me.
I will not be uploading photos to go with everything I say (go reread the comic after this and verify for yourself what all I’ve said), but I’ll show visuals when they’re necessary. I do not claim ANY of this art as mine (I wish my art was this good ;u; ), all of it belongs to Spudinacup and their SU AU, which has all kinds of hidden symbolism, foreshadowing, and visual cues we haven’t picked up on yet, as I’ve just learned while researching this theory. This ain’t your run-of-the-mill AU, everything in here is intentional. Scott Spud doesn’t do coincidences. So I’ll point out that stuff in screenshots.
Okay let’s go.
SO! To begin with, let’s talk about why his gem may have flipped, and to realize that, we have to know when. We don’t see the gem much, but we do see it constantly through Chapter 1, where it is normal. The pentagon is pointed upward. However, in Chapter 2, this is where we see it flipped upside down. When did that happen? We didn’t see it. I believe it happened in that first scene in the bathroom, right after we left. The butterflies were swarming angrily, and Steven was very lost in thought.
Notice whenever those butterflies appear. They seem to show up every time he thinks about who he is. Is he still Steven, or is he someone else now? Steven is dead. Everyone is mourning him, trying to heal him, but Gem is still here. So if Steven is dead, but Gem is still alive, that must mean he isn’t Steven then, right? But then that undoes everything we learned in “Change Your Mind.” He IS Steven. He’s always been Steven. But that’s when they were together...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...And so the butterflies swarm.
Notice how the first one shows up when he looks at himself in the mirror. When you look in a mirror, you should see yourself, right? But who IS he? In the show, butterflies represent thoughts and ideas, mostly dark ones, disturbing ones, or ones you don’t want to think about. Well, he already spent WAY too long proving who he was, so now to do it again sucks.
But he isn’t Steven anymore. He’s on the couch being mourned. But he’s already proved he IS Steven before, and it’s this uncertainty that is making his mind swirl. I believe this is why he flipped his gem. Just upside-down, so it’s a small thing no one will notice, while he tries to figure it out. In doing so, he’s separated himself from “Steven”, as they’re not one and the same anymore, and the flipped gem shows this. He’s someone else right now. Maybe. He’s not sure.
So what do we call you for right now? Steven. He already proved he was Steven, so until he’s proved otherwise, Steven it is. Now he just has to figure out what exactly that name means and wether or not he still fits that quota.
Flipped gem/Pink Diamond imagery is EVERYWHERE, mostly hidden in drastic shadows or in panels. It’s things you don’t notice at first, until they’re staring you in the face. See if you can spot them from the 3 screenshots below.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There’s probably more hidden throughout the comic, these are just the ones I’ve found that I feel confident enough to show as hard evidence.
So, what does it all mean? We’ll talk about the screenshots in order, left to right.
First, the Diamond is hidden as the panel in the center. In it, Human Steven lies upside down while the gem-panel is technically upside right. This can be interpreted in a few ways, but what that means to me is that something isn’t right here. If you flip Steven back around so he’s upside right, the gem is now upside down. Notice Gem Steven looking towards his human half on the bottom panel there, clutching his shirt over his gem. It’s a motion we’ve seen Steven do a TON throughout the show, anytime he’s thinking about Rose/Pink, who he is, or complicated gem stuff as a whole. Because early on, his identity was always shrouded in shadow. THAT is Steven, on the couch, without his gem. So for Gem Steven to call himself Steven is inaccurate, but also not at the same time. It’s all swarming in his head, and thus, the gem is flipped.
Next, he’s just broken the rejuvenator. This was probably the hardest to spot of the three, but if you look at the panel where Bismuth asks “feel better?” you will see, in the background, a white line cut through the soft pink hues. Look closer. It’s the outline of the gem, but it’s flipped correctly this time. This is because Bismuth seems to be the only person NOT saying Steven is dead, and treating his gem half one and the same. Is she unnerved? Yeah, but who WOULDN’T be? This is still Steven we’re talking about, as emotionally blocked as he is. He’s aware of why everyone is being weird around him, so to see Bismuth trying her best to treat him with familiarity instead of a completely different, new, dangerous stranger is really calming and helps to calm the storm a bit.
Notice the gem is flipped correctly. This is because he feels like Steven right now. Bismuth has been constant confirmation that he is still Steven, no matter the circumstances. Notice how his eyes dialate back to a larger size. They do that a lot in the comic, articulating his emotions without changing the rest of his face. It’s a clever detail to keep track of. His eyes grow more relaxed, dialating bigger when she pats his shoulder, asking if he feels better after destroying the weapon that killed him. It’s a huge relief for him to hear. So, the gem is correct.
Finally, we see Bismuth telling Greg that his son is dead, which is very contradictory to what Bis was saying earlier (in Steven’s eyes). Where is the gem on that frame? Look at Steven’s shadow. There it is, facets and all. To us, the gem is correct, but think about it this way: if Steven were actually replaced with the gem in that frame, what would it look like, Pink’s or White’s? That’s right. The point is coming from his feet, meaning it would look more like White’s, meaning it is back to being flipped upside down. Again, Bismuth just said Steven is dead, meaning he’s back to questioning his whole entire identity. So it’s back to being flipped upside-down.
It seems that the orientation of the symbolic gems hidden throughout panels show quite clearly where his head is at in terms of who he is. If it’s upside down, he’s separating himself from the cold meatball on the couch, whereas when it’s normal/upside right, he is associating himself WITH the cold meatball on the couch.
Tumblr media
Notice he’s been grabbing at his gem a lot recently, too, all things he does while in turmoil over who- or WHAT- he is. He cannot heal right now. He can’t use his powers. Some powers are new and unfamiliar (see the more recent pages where Lapis struck out with water and he blocked with those hexagonal shields/walls). “Steven HEALS people.” He can’t, so who is he?
This is something he’ll need to have an answer to by the time the comic is done, and this is a mission for Gem Steven and Gem Steven alone. If his human half were alive (and content without his gem), he’d probably call himself “Steven” no questions asked, since he GOT his answer already, two years ago. But Gem can’t do that, not when everyone keeps drawing all these lines between the two. He needs to learn what being “Steven” means, and know that he is a part of a greater whole, but on his own, he is STILL Steven. Everyone else needs to realize this, too, and stop separating the two. It’s gonna be rough, since it may feel like replacing what they lost, but is it really? It’s going to be a tough road to trek, and I don’t know what anyone’s answer is gonna be (that’s the big mystery here, after all), but I’m here for it.
Remember, all of this has been speculation on what may happen based on facts and clues Spud has presented us with. I’m not claiming to know how Gem Steven’s arc will end, but I am throwing my hat into the ring on where I THINK it will go. Either way, the foreshadowing, symbolism, and unspoken characterizations here have been excellent, and I’m looking forward to seeing everything play out. Spud, your mind is incredible, and whatever you’ve got planned over there, I’m confident the answer will be satisfactory.
I’ll shut up now. Thank you for reading this huge meta post, and go read Spud’s comic. You can find it at @suaugonewrong or on Spud’s Tumblr, which was linked above. If you think I’m wrong or have a counter argument, bring it. Let’s talk, cause this is genuinely interesting and fun to dissect. I wanna talk about it OwO
Thank you. You may now continue scrolling.

What is your favourite quote for each Team Rocket character?
Good question. This took me a hot minute but was really fun to think about.
Jessie - “Thank badness we’re alive!!!” I actually don’t remember which episode this is from, I tried to google it, but I specifically remember it because I used to quote it all the time. I just thought the idea that villains would actually say “thank badness” was hilarious.
James - Zero is a gross exaggeration, we are at least two to three percent worthwhile! (Talkin’ Bout an Evolution) James has like a million great quotes but I always loved this one. You have to appreciate his candid self-awareness 😂 A lot of my favorite Jessie and James moments are where they happily admit they are failures but remain totally undeterred. Also - literally ANYTHING he says in the Flaming Moltres episode 😂
Meowth - “Maybe if we started lookin at what’s the same instead of what’s different…well, who knows?” This is part of his little monologue in the first movie when he’s talking to the clone Meowth, I always loved this quote. I mean, what a great sentiment, delivered in a touching way that only Meowth could do.
Cassidy - “Oh I’m still shaking like a leaf officer thank goodness you were here to stop them before they hurt the Pokémon ~ oh!” (The Breeding Center Secret) Butch and Cassidy have a lot of great quotes, especially from chronicles where they started getting played for laughs, but I really love this one because it highlights Cassidy’s ability to turn on and off this fake persona she’s created totally effortlessly. The delivery of this line is just 10/10. No other episode has really showcased her ability to do that as well as their first appearance, but I always loved that about her. She deserves an award for that performance lmao 😂😂
Butch - “I am, but I like dry socks.” (Showdown at the Oak Corral) I’m sorry, there are also a lot of better Butch quotes than this but I have to pick this one because it made me laugh like no other. The man likes dry socks, ok? 😂 Also I think I just like it because it’s a little glimpse into Butch as a person, he seems like he can be a little particular about stuff.
Domino - “I’m like a totally off the hook fan of yours! I wanna be just like you when I get old!” (Mewtwo Returns) Domino, like Cassidy, has the ability to adopt a fake persona and do a REALLY good job at pretending she’s somebody she’s not. I love her ditzy voice she uses when she’s undercover, but this quote in particular because even when she’s trying to be cute and sweet, this was a pretty backhanded compliment to throw at that doctor. (I forget her name, but she wasn’t even old 😂) It was pretty funny.
Wendy - “Revenge is sweet, my dear Jessie.” (Dues and Don’ts) I mean, you have to love a good long grudge. The fact that Team Rocket even has an HR department is hilarious on its own, but the fact that it seems to be led by a woman who held onto a personal vendetta against a fellow employee for YEARS, all because of a fruit smoothie, is even better.
Attila - “I used to collect them, they’re very sweet creatures.” (Legend of Thunder) I’m pretty sure this is a dub only fact about Attila, but I absolutely love the way they dubbed Attila and the idea of someone like him with a soft spot for Caterpie is just…I love it 😂 Seriously though Attila has a whole score of cheesy dialogue, and I love almost every single thing he says. Yippie Yi Yay 😂
Hun- “You don’t get to run the world by being fair; you get to run the world by being nasty!” (Legend of Thunder) Hun…who hurt you? 😂😂😂 Do you need a hug? This was tough because there are multiple times in LoT that Hun has to try and keep Attila on task, which I love, but I picked this quote as my fav because I like that little glimpse into Hun’s sinister personal ideals.
Tyson - “You look a little…tied up! BAHAHAHAHAJSJFGSHKJAFLSNWSA” (Talkin Bout an Evolution) I’m sorry, I love bad puns, and that exaggerated laugh he does at the end, I love it so much 😂😂😂 There are lots of bad puns in the Pokémon anime, but this one…it’s the laughing at his own joke for me 🤣 And the fact that none of the grunts with him are laughing at all, dub or original. You can tell this is a frequent occurrence and they’re just over it. 😂😂😂
Pierce - “Then we’ll just have to see how good you are. *laugh*” - this might seem like a weird quote, but I picked it solely because of that little laugh he does at the end. Pierce unfortunately didn’t get that much screen time, so he’s not super quotable :( Which is a shame because he really, REALLY has a nice voice. It might actually be my second or third favorite, behind Sebastian and *maybe* Attila (only because I think it suits him so well)
Professor Namba - (singing) “Rage, rage, bring out your raaaaage!” (One of the Lugia episodes, I forget which one) 11/10 beautiful vocals, clearly should have been a singer and not a scientist. Seriously though the fact that Namba can be in the midst of such a cruel experiment and stand there and sing a song about it really highlights his insanity and I love it.
Dr Zager - “CURSES!!” (I forget the episode title, I’m so sorry) Again, someone who sadly didn’t get that much screen time, BUT we do at least have this quote. He’s overall a pretty serious character and doesn’t have any especially memorable lines…except this one. 😂 I love it. Very old-fashioned villain, Old Man Yells At Cloud energy here 😂😂😂
Professor Sebastian - “If you’ll kindly follow me, I believe you’ll find this…electrifying.” (Legend of Thunder) this is REALLY hard because I love everything he says, but once again my appreciation for bad puns wins out in the end. Also the confirmation that Sebastian does have a sense of humor, however bad, makes me very happy. 😂 Would watch an entire episode of Sebastian and Tyson making terrible puns. No, actually, an entire feature length film.
Giovanni - “I haven’t had any repairs done to those old blimps for decades. They’re completely unfit to fly. About the only thing I have maintained on those blimps are their insurance policies.” (A Scare in the Air) this is not only my favorite Gio quote but one of my favorite moments in the entire anime because it’s so dark. I even posted about it recently. Giovanni actually tries to have three of his employees killed and profit off of their deaths via insurance fraud. AND HE DOES IT IN SUCH A CAVALIER WAY YOU KNOW IT’S NOT HIS FIRST TIME DOING IT. Also you really have to just appreciate the confirmation that insurance - an evil greater than Team Rocket- exists in the Pokémon world.
(I’m sorry if some of these quotes are not exact word for word, I tried to google to confirm I’m remembering it correctly, but it’s not as easy to find some of these as you might think 😂)

“Y/N,” Spencer called, his face contorting out of both confusion, happiness, and surprise as he saw your figure quietly sitting on his couch with your back faced towards him as if you were waiting for someone. For the first time in years after that tragic event that took your life and almost destroyed him he gets to see you again, and as happy he is to see and know you’re here he did wish it was under better circumstances, not when he is on the brink of death. Slowly walking past his body lying on the floor he approached you with a small playing on his lips which only grew wider when you finally turned around.
You had a smile of your own, the smile that had been etched in his brain for years, the smile that kept him going through tough times, your smile. Now standing in front of you, he took in your appearance, though nothing much had changed he still tried to carve everything single inch of your face on his brain. He took note of the way your skin glowed under the sunlight that was cascading down the window, the natural tint of pink that graced your soft cheek, the soft curve of your lips he longed to kiss, you were still the same woman he fell in love with years ago.
Before you even got a chance to open your mouth to greet him, he had already engulfed you in his arms, burying his head deeper into your neck as he clung to you for dear life.
“Well, hello to you too, Spence,” you hugged him back chuckling at his reaction, a smile plastered on your lips. You held him in your arms as tightly as you possibly can as the two of you rock back and forth in each others embrace.
“Y/N, It’s you. It’s really you,” he sniffled onto your shoulder, his voice muffled.
 He finally pulled back from the embrace, letting his hands fall to his side, he was smiling so hard he feels that his cheeks might break “God, I miss you, so much. What are you doing here? How are you here- you’re dead,” he asked, and you can see the confusion in his eyes.
You met his brown eyes, and that’s when you got a good view of his face. His hair was longer, framing his perfectly handsome face perfectly, the shadows under his eyes were more prominent, he even grew a light stubble which you did find utterly sexy, but you have no time for that, he has no time for that.
“I missed you too, Spence, and yes, I am.” you laughed lightly at his remark “So, does that mean that I’m-” a wave of surprise and puzzlement immediately graced his features but you cut him off.
“No, no you’re not dead- well not yet at least,” you answered, as you slowly looked behind him, your eyes landing on his unconscious body on the floor, and you could’ve sworn that you heard him release a sigh of relief, which put a small smile on your lips “You have an intracranial hemorrhage, which is-”
“A bleeding in the intracranial vault, including the brain parenchyma and surrounding meningeal spaces, the overall incidence of spontaneous ICH worldwide is 24.6 per 100,000 person-years with approximately 40,000 to 67,000 cases per year in the United States,” he stated, your brows shot up in surprise and your lips subtlely curled up into a smirk as he cut you off and started to ramble about the statistics behind his hemorrhage “Y/N, my brain is shutting down,” he said, as he looked down to you, his brows slightly furrowed fear enlaced within his voice. But, then it soon faltered once he mentioned brain shutting down.
“Well, yeah, Spence, parts of it are shutting down, it’s struggling to survive. But, you’re still here, aren’t you? This means you’re still fighting,” you smiled lightly, and tried your best to assure him. He gave you a tight-lipped smile and nodded, he shoved his hands in pockets and averted his eyes away from you as he tried to comprehend and understand. Tried to get a hold of the situation that he is in.
“And, it is nice to know that you still haven’t changed since I last saw you. With the rambling and spitting out facts, same ol’ Dr. Spencer Reid.” you chuckled lightly, trying to lighten the tension that had made itself very comfortable surrounding the two of you, and you didn’t fail to notice the surge of pink tint that had spread across his cheeks which is then followed by a sheepish smile on his lips. But you know that he still had questions that he wanted to be answered under that sweet smile that he had plastered on his face.
“Hey, why don’t you take a walk with me? So that we can clarify and talk out some things.” you offered, and stretched your hand towards him, he hesitated for a second and displayed a confused expression, but something in your eyes told him to trust you, so he gladly takes it. You smiled up at him, you led him to the doors of his apartment and the next thing you know is that you two were at the cemetery, standing side by side in front of your grave, with your arm wrapped around his. Looking at the headstone with you right now, made him feel uneasy and torn and it only made the raging fear inside him even worse.
So distracted himself with a question towards you, to temporarily bury that feeling of fear inside.
“So, how are you here? How did you get here? What are you doing here, in my brain?” he asked, turning to you, his brows raised a little to display his curiousness. The words tumbled out of his mouth faster than you can comprehend.
“Okay, hey, Woah, slow down Spence, easy with the questions,” you chuckled “For the ‘how?’, I don’t know- I don’t know how got there. I just opened my eyes and then all of a sudden I was in a random persons apartment, at first I was confused, but as soon as I saw that bookshelf and that desk with all the case files sprawled everywhere, I immediately knew where I was.” you hear a low chuckle rumbled out of his chest, which prompted a smile form you.
“And, as for the ‘what?’ just a small answer, I’m here to help you. ‘Help you make the ‘choice’.‘Cause, this journey will definitely take a toll on tempting you on which way to go.” you said, looking at him sideways.
“The ‘choice’ huh?” he murmurs, and you hummed before uttering out a simple “Yep.”
"Hey, Spence do you wanna know my deepest, darkest secret?”
Looking back at your grave, as the cold winds brush up against your bodies, something came up to Spencer’s mind as it drifted back to that dreadful night once again. There is something he hasn’t resolved yet, with you.
“Let me take her place.” Spencer offered, trying to be careful with his words.
Diane asked her voice rising with a gun pointed towards your temple and a hand looped around your neck.
“You would kill yourself for her?” she pressed the gun further towards your temple.
“Yes,” Spencer answered loud and clear. But Spencer wasn’t careful enough.
“No.” Diane retracted the gun from your temple to hers and pulled the trigger.
“Y/N, I’m so sorry.” he apologized, turning to face you, your brows knitted themselves together as you were a bit taken aback by Spencer’s sudden apology, his voice breaking with tears threatening to fall to his cheek.
“For what, Spence?” you asked in confusion, rubbing small circles on his hand in an attempt to comfort him.
“I let you die. And it’s my fault because I wasn’t smart enough or fast enough to save you.” he averted his eyes towards the grass beneath the two of you, trying to avoid your gaze as he continued to blame himself for your death, which only made your heartbreak even more.
“Hey, Spencer, stop it. It isn't your fault, there was nothing you could've done, and it's okay,” you squeezed his hands in comfort, which made his eyes turn their attention towards you, the side of your lips slightly turned upwards as his teary eyes made contact with your soft ones. An idea came up to your brain, a small smirk eased itself to your lips.
He gave you a curious look and nodded before he responded “Mhm-hmm.”
“I love nineties rom-drams and rom-coms.” you shyly admitted, which prompted and heartily laugh to emerge from the both of you, and hearing his laugh again made your heart soar.
“The cheesier the better,” you laughed "and my favorite was about this angel who gave up his immortality because he fell in love with a human. But they only had one day before she was killed,” you explained softly, Spencer chuckled humorlessly as he saw the connection, he averted his eyes away from you again but kept the smile that’s been with him this whole time.
“I always wondered why that one stuck with me, and then we lived it.” you smiled, you lifted your other hand and brushed it against his cheek and tucked a stray curl behind his ear “But hey, do you wanna know something else?” you asked.
“What is it?” he asked curiously, and you hear a slight eagerness in his voice.
“Transferring to the BAU was probably the best decision I’ve ever made in my entire life,” he only smiled, and his silence signaled you to continue “because it led me to meet the team, meet you. And you, Spencer Reid, Is the best thing to ever happen in my life, with you and your rants that would go on for hours, your ramblings, your facts- gosh even your magic tricks!” you laughed, and he chuckled at that.
“and what honor and privilege it was because I get to spend the rest of my days with, the behavioral analysis unit of the FBI and…with you, Spencer.” you can already feel the burning behind your eyes and the tears that were threatening to be spilled but you tried your best to push them back.
“So don’t you dare be sorry, okay? I have no regrets.” you smiled and he returned it and nodded “Okay.” he brought your hand up to his lips and planted a kiss on your knuckles, the gesture made your heart melt.
“Hey, I know I’ve already said it but, I really do miss you, very much.” he chuckled.
“I miss you too, Spence,” but the bliss soon faded away as someone’s voice- wait no, Diana’s voice called to him.
Spencer.
Both of you were alarmed at the sudden call, which made both of you physically jump slightly, his grip on your hand tightening, his frown made an appearance once again, he looked terrified, and he didn’t even bother to hide it, he wasn’t focused on keeping his micro expression at bay at the moment.
“Well, that’s a very subtle way of telling us that the clock’s ticking,” you commented, you look over to Spencer who was still pretty tense, so you squeezed his hand in attempts to ease him “But, hey, Spence, we still have a decent amount of time together.” you reminded him.
“I need that,” he said, a small smile tugging on his lips.
You carefully looked at Spencer, and then suddenly he became transparent, you saw something in his eyes, something that he’s been holding onto which made your brows furrow slightly.
“Spencer, you’ve been holding onto trauma, a lot of it. But let me remind you something, what sent you on this journey is something different, you’re at a crossroads, and you’ll be tempted along the way on which way to go,”
“Can you help me through it?” he asked a small smile peeking on his lips with hope in his eyes, you nodded smiling lightly.
“But first, I need to tell you something you don’t hear enough of,” you hold on to his hand tightly, hoping that he would understand, you smiled “the world is a good place, Spence, and it’s even better with you in it.” He smiled back, letting your words sink in.
“You ready?” you asked softly.
“Yeah,” he replied.
[[[[[[[[[[[[[ ]]]]]]]]]]]]]
You and Spencer now find yourselves standing hand in hand in front of SSA Gideon’s grave, who you knew was Spencer’s mentor and [sort of] a father figure. Even though you didn’t get the chance to meet him when you transferred, Spencer’s amount of respect towards him says it all, so when his death became apparent, Spencer was the one who was affected the most.
“Why are we here?” he asked you, but he still kept his attention towards Gideon’s headstone “I made peace with Gideon dying.”
“When was the last time you saw him?” you asked softly.
“12 years, 7 months, and 23 days ago,” he recited, his voice firm and steady.
“Oh,” you chuckled “you’re not keeping track of disappointments at all.” you teased, which earned you a smile from him.
“My dad wrote me a note when he left,” he started “Gideon did the same thing. He was the one that convinced me to join the team, and then he left.” he chuckled humorlessly. You on the other hand, absentmindedly squeezed his hand to let him know that you’re there for him, he smiled softly at that.
He sighed heavily, as if he was trying to keep his tears at bay, but based on how his voice started breaking earlier on, he probably was keeping in his tears “All to believe in happy endings, I just- I’m sad he never got one.” he lamented.
“Oh no, he got one,” you laughed as you corrected him, and by the way he looked at you he was left a bit confused “He is obsessed with this octopus named Mildred,” which prompted a genuine laugh from you and Spencer “She was a prankster! And he loves hanging out with an 8 limb mollusk trying to figure out how she became playful and wise.”
When the laughter had finally died, you look back at Spencer again, he had a small smile on his lips, and you know that wasn’t caused by you, and you weren’t hurt by that, you know that Spencer was just trying to understand and make peace with Gideon and his death, and that’s okay.
“She evolved,” he said.
“Yep, Spence. We all have to,” you replied, reciprocating his smile.
[[[[[[[[[[[[[ ]]]]]]]]]]]]]
After your short quiet walk on the cemetery as both of you enjoyed the cold breeze of autumn, you and Spencer found a bench under one of the trees and decided to take a break and just rest. You sat there beside him, with your head on his shoulder and his head leaning on yours, you both enjoyed the peace that the place even though it’s a literal cemetery. While your brain was calm, Spencer’s wasn’t.
Ever since he saw you at his apartment, he was already second-guessing everything. Just being with you right now already tempts him to stay, and he knows that it sounds selfish of him to do because he has friends and family, his mom, waiting for him to wake up, but what if there’s nothing left for him to do there? What if he can just stay here with you? But then at the same time he doesn’t wanna lose what is still there, what he already has, his family and friends, but losing them meant staying with you, and staying with them meant losing you. He was just pretty much torn with everything at this point, and he knows that he doesn’t have much time.
You look at Spencer, and you recognize that look on his face, the distant stare, the deep furrowed brows and you’ve seen it in a lot of people “What are you afraid of?” you asked, and you feel him slightly jump under your touch telling you that he was definitely in deep thought.
“What?” he asked, snapping out of his thoughts as he heard your voice.
“I asked, what are you afraid of? Spence, I’ve seen that look on people’s faces far too many times than I can count,” you chuckled softly “It doesn’t take a profiler- even though I am one to not know what it means.” you smiled lightly, wordlessly encouraging him to voice what is on his head.
“It’s just that, if I die, I’ll let down my mom, the team, and everybody who depends on me,” he answered truthfully, and you hummed slightly before responding.
“Well, family’s resilient, and as for strangers, people were hurt before you joined the BAU, and they’ll get hurt whenever you leave,” you stated.
He chuckled faintly before replying “Guess I’m stuck,”
“More like frozen, from grief,” you see his face fall slightly before he turned away and avoided your gaze “Your father’s physical absence, your mother’s psychological one, me.”
“It’s paralyzing,” his brows furrowed.
“And how do you move through it when you can’t move?” you asked softly.
He narrows his eyes and looks around for a second trying to think “You go back to the beginning,”
“I grew up telling stories about who I was,” he chuckled softly, you sat there smiling softly as you listened “A son, a friend, student, teacher, genius-”
“ A hero.” you finish for him “Spence, you seek and gain approval from anyone. It’s time to stop.” you insisted.  
[[[[[[[[[[[[[ ]]]]]]]]]]]]]
“Y/N, what if my brain’s bleeding out because there’s nothing left for me to do,” he questions, his were furrowed slightly.
“Spence, the world needs you to do what you love, have you done that?” you asked him, he paused, trying to think “I don’t really know…” he responded.
“Sure you do! What do you love?” you asked as you smiled at him.
“I love magic, ghost stories,” he chuckled as he raked through his brain.
“Fiddling with your pen like me? Adding too much sugar in your coffee?” you laughed, which he returned “Go on, what else?” you said, nodding at him to continue.
“Jell-O, Kumquats, teaching, learning, books, hope...making connections, making- making a difference,” he paused to look at you, his eyes filled with sincerity and adoration as you smiled softly while you listened to him intently “you, I love you.”
“Well, that’s a lot to love, Spence. And you can still have years ahead of you, and you can still keep doing the things you love and the things that make you happy. I mean the world is a big place, you can still have places to visit, opportunities to seize, a lot of books to read...people to fall in love with. There is so much you still can do,” you smiled up at him, taking his hand into yours, your fingers interlocking with his own “but that is entirely up to you.”
“Look, there is no wrong answer or wrong choice in all of this, but you have to decide. You can stick around in the blue marble or travel out to the great unknown. It’s time, Spence, what are you gonna do?” he only smiled lightly, his mind finally made up, and stood up bring you with him.
“Dance with me,” he whispered as he brought you closer to him, your hand making its way up to his neck, and his settling down your waist. As you two swayed cheek to cheek, he asked.
“Do you remember our one, and only fight?” he smiled down your way.
“About the world’s greatest poet?” you smirked.
“We were on the phone for like- four hours,” he responded with a smile evident on his face as you laughed at the memory “Spence, you need to find that kind of passion with someone again…”
“But first I need to know if your favorite is still-”
“E.E Cummings,” you answered “‘Whenever you think, or you believe, or you know, you’re a lot of other people: but the moment you feel, you’re nobody-but-yourself” you quoted, a small smile on your lips.
“‘To be nobody-but-yourself- In a world which is doing it’s best, night and day, to make you everybody else- means to fight, the hardest battle that any human being can fight; and never stop fighting” he quoted back, with the tears already falling on his cheeks, he pulled you fully in his arms, your hands came up to lightly scratch the back of his neck, he sniffled as he buried his head deeper on your neck, savoring the last moment he has with you before he goes.
“I love you, Spencer Reid. I’ll always love you,”

final part of valentine’s day fic is here!! this is maximum fluff, i hope u enjoy:’)
--
Mickey sauntered into the Gallagher house, rubbing his hands together to warm them as he quickly slammed the front door shut to block out the bitter cold. He shuffled his coat off his shoulders, trying to go through the same mental checklist he’d been that had been running through his mind all week. Okay. 7 o’clock. He was right on time— now he just needed to shower, and put on a clean fucking shirt before he tried to get Ian to come with him…
Mickey turned the corner into the living room— and was met with Ian standing there, leaning against the back of the couch with his hands behind his back. The lights in the living room were dim, and the house was surprisingly silent for a Saturday evening; if Mickey didn’t know any better, it seemed like someone had coordinated having all the Gallaghers out of the house at the same time this evening.
His eyes flickered to meet Ian’s, who was watching him carefully and steadily from across the room, his gaze soft but piercing.
Mickey’s heart instantly started to thud, and he wasn’t really sure why— maybe it was the intensity of Ian’s gaze, or maybe it was the fact that all of a sudden, all his scheming from the past week had finally caught up with him. What if what he was planning for tonight was too much, what if Ian fucking hated it? Mickey tried to swallow down the anxiety gnawing at his insides, willing his heartbeat to settle back down to an even tempo. Be cool.
“Hey. Where is everybody?” Mickey asked, feigning nonchalance as he pulled off his shoes.
Ian gave a sheepish smile. “Might’ve suggested that they find other places to be tonight.”
Mickey smirked. Fucking sap. “Oh yeah?”
Ian’s gentle, closed-lip smile grew a little wider, and then he pulled a bouquet from behind his back, his gaze still hesitant but piercing, a laser beam burning a hole into Mickey’s chest.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, Mick,” he breathed.
At first, something deep inside Mickey made him want to squirm out of his skin, made him immediately feel the need to open his mouth to make some quick retort how gay and sappy it was to even think about getting Mickey a goddamn bouquet of flowers for Valentine’s Day, like he was some fucking girl— but before that sentence traveled from his brain to his mouth, Mickey noticed what type of flowers they were and the words got caught in his throat. These weren’t just some cheap fucking flowers Ian got him to try to fulfill a convention, or because he thought that that was what he was supposed to do— these were blue stargazer lilies, the flowers that Mickey had picked out for their wedding before everything went to shit, and all of Mickey’s towering expectations for the day had been forced to crash down and crumble to the wayside. These were flowers for Mickey— these were Ian showing that he listened, that he remembered, that he cared how important this shit had been to him. These weren’t flowers for anyone else.
Mickey realized he was standing frozen in the middle of the living room with his mouth gaping open for a millisecond too long. He quickly snapped it shut, and put his hand up to his brow like he always did when he was trying to keep his shit together. Ian just kept staring him down, his eyes gleaming as they caught the low light.
“Got these fuckers special ordered on some sketchy website yesterday,” Ian admitted in a low, throaty voice as he held the lilies out in front of him, rustling the cellophane and paper they were wrapped in. “I was pretty desperate. Cost a shit ton.”
Mickey cleared his throat. “For someone who didn’t care about all the wedding bullshit, you’ve got a good fucking memory.”
Ian smirked. “Yeah, well, listening is what marriage is all about, right?” He suddenly slouched slightly, like a weight had appeared on his shoulders. “Listen, Mick— I know you don’t really care about Valentine’s Day or whatever, but the other day with Franny just got me thinking about how I wanted to do something for you, just to say I’m sorry for how tough shit has been lately. M’sorry if you think it’s too… I don’t know, too fucking gay or whatever.”
Mickey smirked. Fucking Gallagher. He immediately took a long step towards Ian, bridging the gap between them, invading his personal space and tangling their fingers together. Ian’s eyes widened, his lips almost imperceptibly parting in surprise. Their faces were millimeters apart; Mickey could feel the warmth radiating off of Ian’s skin, the space between their lips hanging heavy with tension.
“Thank you for the goddamn flowers,” Mickey murmured, holding Ian’s heavy-lidded gaze.
“Welcome,” Ian exhaled, his breath tingling on Mickey’s lips.
And then Ian’s hands were digging into Mickey’s hipbones, and wrapping around his lower back to pull him in closer, and their lips were meeting with a searing tenderness that almost made Mickey’s chest ache. Their lips crashed together again and again— not like they were building towards anything, or scrambling to get their clothes off and rush into the bedroom like usual— but like everything was wrapped up in this kiss, like everything was pouring out in every press of their lips and every tug of Ian’s teeth at Mickey’s bottom lip. It was a kiss Mickey could lose himself in, with Ian’s hands cradling his neck and pulling on the back of his waist, holding him upright. And he almost would have— if he didn’t suddenly remember all the shit he had planned tonight.
Ian kept his eyes on Mickey as he pulled away, his pupils blown out and his hands still pinning Mickey into place.
“What d’you want to do now?” Ian asked in a low voice.
Mickey tried to hold back the grin threatening to burst across his face. “Well, I’ve got some fucking tricks up my sleeve too, Gallagher, so why don’t you go change into something nice and follow me?”
**
“Mickey, where the fuck are we going? It’s freezing, we should’ve asked Debbie to just drive us instead of taking the L.”
Mickey was briskly walking a couple of paces ahead of Ian like a man on a mission. He turned to Ian and flashed a mysterious smile over his shoulder— without slowing down, much to Ian’s irritation. “Quit your fucking whining. We’re almost there.”
Ian rolled his eyes, but jogged to catch up with Mickey and intertwined their gloved hands. “Better be,” he mumbled in a voice that was supposed to be annoyed but he knew came out overly fond.
Mickey just smirked, squeezing Ian’s hand and leaning into the touch.
Ian didn’t know what the fuck they were doing on this side of town— he and Mickey had never really been over here together, except during that whole shitshow with Byron and the engagement. Mickey definitely had something up his sleeve, but this was… definitely not where Ian had expected Mickey to drag him off to.
And weirder than that, Mickey seemed nervous— like, genuinely sweaty-palms nervous, which was not a state Mickey was in very often. Whatever the fuck Mickey had planned for them, Ian knew it was a big fucking deal for him; hell, Mickey even acknowledging that today was Valentine’s Day for Ian’s sake felt like a big deal in his book.
Finally, they turned the corner and Mickey’s pace slowed. They had reached a block of the city known for having a lot of fancy high-end restaurants, but tonight the street was dim— even though it was Valentine’s Day, indoor dining was still banned and all the restaurants on the block were closed, their dark front windows looming and reflecting the streetlights.
All the restaurants on the block, that was, except one— and it was the place that Mickey was towing Ian towards, to under a classy, warmly-lit sign reading “Sizzler’s Dining.”
Ian felt something rise in his throat, flushed heat flooding his face.
“Holy shit, I just realized something. We’ve never actually been on a real date.”
“Bullshit!”
“I’m serious— like, a date where you sit down, and you go to a nice restaurant, and you put on a nice shirt and you, like, eat with utensils.”
“You wanna do that?”
“Yeah, why not?”
“What, like at Sizzler’s?”
In an instant, that cool autumn night came flowing back to him— his scrawny, bloodied body hanging off of Mickey’s solid presence beside him, the fuzzy sensation of alcohol warming him from the inside out, making him feel normal for the first time in weeks before everything had split open and gotten messy again. Those were the days when things felt the darkest they had ever been, when all he and Mickey had to cling to was each other— until eventually even that got ripped away too, when Ian was shoved into the backseat of an unfamiliar car with tinted windows, and they settled for the fact that they would never get to have this.
They’d never had the chance to go on a real date, a date like Ian talked about that night, between then and now— Ian had been locked up, and then Mickey had been, and they’d barely gotten married or been together for long before COVID had hit and everything shut down. Sure, they’d gone to the mall food court a couple of times between Mickey getting released and all the shit with Paula and the engagement and the wedding—but never like this, never here.
For years the ground had been shifting beneath them, threatening to open up and swallow them whole— but now, they’d finally made it somewhere solid.
The glowing sign cast shadows onto Mickey’s face—Mickey, who was biting his lips and casting his eyes downward in trepidation, like he was waiting for Ian to say something, to pull something out of him.
“Mickey, are you fucking kidding me?”
Ian cupped his hand under Mickey’s chin before Mickey got the chance to respond, shifting his gaze up from the concrete.
“You said I had a good memory, but I was nothing compared to this. Fucking Sizzler’s?”
Mickey finally smirked, meeting Ian’s eyes with relief. “Why don’t we go inside.”
Ian shook his head with disbelief, smiling a crooked smile and playfully shoving his upper arm. “You’re softer than I am, Milkovich.” Mickey just rolled his eyes and reached out to grab Ian’s hand.
Ian fully expected them to go inside the door and grab some sort of take-out, then head back home to eat and spend the rest of the night in bed— but what Ian couldn’t have imagined, what absolutely no amount of knowing Mickey Milkovich could have prepared him for, was what met Ian’s eyes when they entered the restaurant. The entirety of the main room had been cleared— all the tables and chairs were pushed to the side, except for one single table in the middle of the room covered with a red tablecloth. The lighting was dim, jazz music was playing low, and there were candles flickering around the room; just like the hotel room they’d stayed in for their honeymoon, with the heart-shaped bed and the satin sheets, the whole thing was extravagant and kitschy and tacky beyond belief.
It was fucking cheesy and over-the-top and ridiculous, like a set straight out of a rom-com; and in spite of it all, Ian felt something welling in his chest. Mickey wanted to give me a normal Valentine’s Day.
Mickey walked towards the table, gesturing to the table halfheartedly.
“S’what you wanted, right? Romantic dinner and a box of chocolates and some sappy fucking note?”
“Mick…” Ian breathed out. He didn’t have the right words to describe what was welling in his lungs, in his throat, on his tongue. He couldn’t imagine how much coordination this must have taken— Mickey had rented the entire fucking restaurant, had made someone set all of this up— and had done it all when Ian didn’t have a goddamn clue. He hoped that his awestruck silence communicated to Mickey what words couldn’t.
His eyes flickered to the table—there were two place settings laid out, along with two wine glasses and way too many utensils than Ian knew what to do with. On the place setting opposite where Mickey was standing there was a tacky, red heart-shaped chocolate box that almost blended in with the tablecloth—and on top of that, a sealed white envelope.
Mickey noticed Ian’s eyes lingering. “You, uh. You can open it if you want. I fucking tried my best, but it’s not much.”
Ian reached deep into his pocket, pulling out a heavy cream-colored envelope.
“I got you a note too.” He took in a breath, trying to gather his thoughts. “I figured… I don’t know, you were so into the wedding and all that traditional bullshit, and I saw something online that said your first year together you’re supposed to get each other something paper. So, I, uh, I wrote you this.”
He held the envelope out in front of him—Mickey reached and took it from his hands like it was something delicate. They stood there for a moment.
“Wanna read them on three?”
Mickey smirked, breaking heaviness hanging in the air. “What is it with you and countdowns, Gallagher?”
Ian rolled his eyes, then pulled the chair out from the table and sat down, lifting the envelope from where it was nestled.
“One… two… three.”
Ian peeled the seal of the envelope, ripping it open. Inside was a plain white piece of paper, folded in half and clearly worn, like it had been creased and crumpled repeatedly. He unfolded it to a page of chunky handwriting, the ink smudged and blotched in places where Mickey had run his hand over the paper.
ian,
i’m bad with words, and you fucking know that, but you wanted a valentine’s card or some shit so. here it is. not sure what i’m supposed to write, either.
i always thought i was fucked for life, ever since i was a kid. but for some reason, i couldn’t shake your ginger ass off and it turns out that you were the best thing to happen to me. which you already know, but in case i don’t say it enough- you fucking saved me, gallagher. you’re everything i’ve got, and the happiest fucking days of my life have been spent near your crazy ass. so here’s to lots more years of doing crazy shit together, and making the south side our bitch for the rest of our lives.
i love you. for better or worse, in sickness and in health, im yours.
mickey
Ian swallowed down whatever he was feeling, and turned his gaze upwards to where Mickey was seated across from him, reading his note that was scribbled on a simple card he’d found at the dollar store:
Dear Mr. Gallavich,
Happy Valentine’s Day. If you’re reading this, this means that I’ve either forced you to, or you’re half as much of a soft motherfucker as I am. There’s nothing that I can put down in paper here that I haven’t said already- that I’ve been in love with you since the first time I saw you, that I always want to be where you are (and I always have). I guess the best way to put it is that no matter how much shit we’ve both been through, for some reason I still trust the universe, because the universe gave me you- whatever it throws at me, it gave me the thing that I needed the most to get through it. You’re everything, Mick- you’re the center of it all, and I feel so lucky every day that we made it here.  
So happy fucking Valentine’s day. I love you.
Ian
Ian rose from his seat—he knew his eyes were shiny, but he really didn’t care—and crossed to where Mickey was sitting, pressing a kiss to the top of his head. Mickey stood too, wordlessly wrapping his arms to fold around Ian’s middle. They stood there, in the flickering candlelight, that yes, was nauseatingly corny, but also cast a soft glow across the space, letting Ian sink into the feeling of holding Mickey pressed tightly against him.
“Mick, we both gave each other the stuff we wanted, but never got,” Ian whispered into Mickey’s hair.
Ian felt Mickey’s lips curve into a smile against his collarbone. “Yeah, I guess we fucking did.”
part 1 of this fic here, part 2 here!

48. “You make me want things I can’t have.” 💜
Thanks for the inspiration! 💜
Prompt 3
Buffer
Ian Gallagher was starting to become a problem.
And the worst part about it was that he wasn’t even a problem that Mickey wanted to resolve. No. He just kept holding Ian closer and refusing to push him away like he should. He was just letting him ruin Mickey’s mediocre life. Because something about Ian was unshakeable. It wasn’t just that Ian kept coming back no matter what Mickey ever said or did, either. Ian was definitely persistent, but Mickey had formed an attachment too, even though he did everything in his power to hide it. It was still there, buried under layers of caustic remarks, aloof expressions, and occasional lashing out. He wasn’t proud of his behavior, but it was just who he was, and remaining unchanged in his ways was easier than the alternative.
Ian was definitely too good for him. Sure, he was hood trash too, but they were on two different levels. Ian was buffed up with a certain surface shine that Mickey lacked. Although, he would admit he’d come a long way in his style and hygiene game since his early days as an unwashed miscreant. Mickey was a gay man after all, and not immune to gaying certain things up, despite his tendency to flout homo conventions. If he wanted the ability to get a decent dick in his ass, there were standards that he’d learned to push himself to meet. This was the glossiest Mickey was ever gonna get, and it still came with a pinch of grime and hostility.
Maybe he’d developed enough sense to give a fuck, but he still didn’t give two shits either; a concept that walking contradictions the world over could likely comprehend.
The thing about Gallagher was that he was sweet. Not in an annoying, cloying, obvious way that was anathema to everything Mickey was about, but in a low-key, casual, incidental kind of way that somehow managed to be attractive, even to someone with Mickey’s abrasive nature. Ian played tough, and he genuinely was in many ways, but he had a gooey, marshmallow center that evened him out. Mickey didn’t see himself as having that sort of balance.
But there were these unsettling moments like this, usually in the middle of the night or early in the morning, when Mickey would catch himself watching Ian unawares. Unawares because he only ever did it when the redhead was deep in sleep. Suddenly, Mickey would be Mr. Contemplation, burning a hole into the face of the dude he was banging, daring to wonder what could happen between them if he wasn’t an emotionally stunted asshole. And then he’d reflect on what Ian’s life was like whenever he wasn’t around; the things Mickey acted like he didn’t care to know.
These circular thought patterns never led anywhere good, because at the end of the day, Ian wasn’t his. And Mickey could never be Ian’s. He’d long ago resigned himself to a certain destiny that involved long-term solitude until his dying day, which he’d always been fairly certain would come prematurely and most likely in violent fashion. It would be ridiculous to drag someone else into his vortex of apathy for life and the general traditions of living it. Especially someone like Ian, who was good; who helped people because he genuinely cared about, like, the well-being of humanity and shit. Despite the occasional soft look or revelatory comment that Ian would throw his way, he knew better than to think he’d want to be saddled with Mickey’s non-reciprocating ogre-y ass.
Usually when one of these intense, one-sided staring sessions would take place, Mickey would overcompensate for silently slipping by adding an extra dose of rudeness when he kicked Ian out after the fact. Honestly, he wasn’t even sure why Gallagher still bothered with him. It wasn’t like he couldn’t get laid elsewhere. Ian was the type that would never have trouble finding a willing ass. Yet somehow he kept coming back to Mickey and ignoring all the negatives thrown in his path. It didn’t make much sense on either of their parts… allowing each other in on any terms. Probably meant that Ian was just as fucked up as he was, really.
Blowing out the last hit off his smoke, Mickey glanced at the bedside clock and stubbed out the cigarette butt. 3:26 AM and he was wide awake, just gawking at his slumbering ginger fuck buddy, and trying to repress the multitude of emotions swirling within him. It was truly pathetic.
He could just get the hell up and drag his ass to the living room to play video games or watch late-night TV, but no. Apparently he liked suffering and feeling conflicted. What a pussy.
Not ten minutes went by before there was slow movement from the other side of the bed... Ian turning over in his sleep, reaching an arm out, and searching. Searching for the warmth of Mickey’s body, it would seem.
A big hand landed on his thigh, rubbing it softly as tired eyes blinked open, and a groggy voice sounded, “What’re’y’doin’?”
Oh, just fuckin’ lying here starin’ at your pasty ass for some reason. “Can’t sleep.”
“Didn’t wear you out?” Ian asked with a breathy titter, squeezing the sensitive flesh precariously close to Mickey’s groin.
Maybe it made his dick twitch a little.
“When did one round ever wear me out?”
“Pretty sure there were two rounds. Did you forget about the couch?”
“Random handies while watchin’ mediocre porn barely counts as a round, carrot-top.”
“A, it wasn’t that mediocre, and B, do you only consider it sex if penetration is involved?”
“I mean… it helps.”
“What about blowjobs, then? How would you classify them?”
“Sex act, but not sex, sex. Know what I mean?”
Ian laughed. “Not really. What about lesbians?”
“Definitely don’t wanna have my cock anywhere near those.”
“Har har. I mean, what would you call lesbian sex?”
“Gross? Boring? I don’t fuckin’ know. Never had it, don’t plan to.”
Ian laughed harder and it made Mickey feel good. “Pretty sure lesbians don’t want fuck all to do with you either, bottom boy.”
“Hey, likin’ what I like don’t make me a bitch.”
“No, but you seem pretty hostile toward anything but a real live human cock poking you in the asshole. I mean, naysaying getting your dick sucked? That’s a bold bossy bottom stance to take.”
“What can I say? I’m a simple man with simple kinks. Aren’t you glad I don’t need any freaky extra shit to get me off?”
“What kinda freaky extras are we talkin’?”
“Fuck off, Gallagher. Don’t act like you don’t just live for stickin’ that big red dick inside any tight manhole that’ll accommodate it. Does that make you a hungry top just begging for it?”
“I prefer ‘brutal top,’ since it’s so big, as you were so kind to mention.”
Mickey rolled his eyes into tomorrow. “Gotta remember to stop accidentally complimenting it. You get so fuckin’ uppity about it.”
Ian rolled over and boxed him in, nuzzling around his face and neck, while Mickey tried to bat him away.
“Come on,” prodded Ian. “Big hard cock seeks tight little hole for another round of deep penetration.”
Mickey could feel said big hard cock firming right up against his hip. “Ixnay on the cutesy man seeking man dirty talk, fuckhead. I will make you take that hulking boner elsewhere.”
“No you won’t,” Ian replied, humping down against him.
Of course he wouldn’t, but he had to front at least a little bit. That was the nature of his inner beast.
While they were fucking, Mickey could just let himself get lost in all the appropriate heightened sensations that really good sex immersed him in. Immersed him and Ian in. Ian and him. Them. Reveling in the pleasure of carnality was totally kosher… as long as it limited him from basking in that additional Ian stuff. That feelings stuff that he had no idea what to do with. That unfathomable connection that existed between them.
He let Ian kiss him a lot too. Like, a lot, a lot. That wasn’t customary for him with other dudes. In fact, it barely ever happened. It was just another habit Ian had slipped under the wire to form with him when he wasn’t paying enough attention. Mickey was pretty sure he’d kissed more girls in his life than boys, because that was always an easy, less disgusting way to publicly appear straight during the years he’d spent in the closet. With guys, there was nothing to prove and everything to hide, so it just wasn’t something he incorporated into his casual sex routine.
Before Ian, he hadn’t exactly attracted the kind of dudes that warranted sticking around for in any capacity, or who made any kind of effort to stick with him. There were never any near-miss boyfriends, or pine-worthy hookups. Sex was always transactional and he’d been perfectly fine with that arrangement.
The truth was that once he’d fucked up and invited Ian in for repeats over and over again, he started to figure out that the sex just kept getting hotter and hotter. That when two bodies really took the time to get to know each other, things fit better, motions got smoother, and orgasms got a thousand times stronger. Turned out that one-night-stands were not where the fuck it was at. Those were always crapshoots with odds that were at best 25/75 in favor of mediocrity. With Ian, it was guaranteed total fulfillment 100% of the time.
That was the only explanation he could find for this unexpected addiction he was stuck with. An addiction to Ian and his stupidly perfect cock. The rest of his body was alright too. And when he spoke, he wasn’t completely fucking annoying. His personality and his nature were tolerable. Mickey didn’t want to gouge his eyes out every time he got sucked into a conversation.
They didn’t really hang out, though. Outside of the bedroom, that is. It was like the whole game changed when they were in bed. They could fuck, they could goof around and have a laugh, they could wrestle, they could accidentally say something profound once in a while… but if Ian had a bag of food when he dropped by, Mickey wasn’t about to sit on the couch and watch TV with him while he ate it, and he definitely wasn’t going to accept a portion for himself.
Until tonight, that is. Or last night, or however the fuck time was identified when you were a natural night owl.
Tonight, they’d crossed another invisible line in the sand, and Mickey had found himself chowing down on tacos, while heckling some shitty 90s action film; his part-time lover chuckling next to him with a sloppy mouth.
It was fucking terrifying.
So as soon as he’d realized what was actually happening, and how much he didn’t hate it, Mickey had switched over to some hardcore porn. They’d cracked jokes about it at first, but it’d done the trick of quickly leading to the familiar comfort of sexual gratification. With that justification, Mickey could just sweep the whole ‘watching a movie and eating together like they were on a date’ thing under the proverbial rug without further examination.
At least until Ian had fallen asleep around 2 AM. Then it was dwell city.
By 4:30 AM, Ian had fucked him into the mattress once again, and promptly fallen back asleep without a care in the world. Mickey was more than sated, but felt even more awake than he had an hour ago, his brain full of fresh bullshit about the man next to him and what was happening between them.
He opened his bedside drawer and pulled out his stash, knowing the high would fog up his brain enough to go off on thought tangents, and eventually shut down for at least five hours. Within ten minutes, he felt a little better, or at least more distracted. He was still very aware of Ian’s looming presence in the darkness, though. He wanted to be comforted by it, but he just couldn’t relax.
There’d always been a buffer between them, which Mickey had been diligent in maintaining, and he could see it slowly falling away now. If he didn’t step up and push back, pretty soon there’d be no barrier left standing. Who the fuck knew what could happen then.
He hated it. He felt so fucking out of control, when it should be the easiest thing in the world to control. All he had to do was break it off. He knew exactly what to say and do to make that happen. Knew enough to be able to really hit Ian where it hurt, both literally and figuratively.
But goddamn it, he didn’t want to.
He didn’t want to make Ian sad, and he didn’t want to give into his own desire to try for more. He would always fuck it up, because he was a fuck-up by nature. His goddamn knuckles spelled it all out in block letters.
He wanted Ian, but he didn’t want the responsibility. Didn’t trust himself, because no one had ever trusted him before in his entire life. What kind of dumbass wanted that kind of damaged douchebag for a boyfriend? No sane one.
Against his better judgment, Mickey rolled closer to Ian and wrapped an arm around his middle, spooning him the way he secretly liked it when Ian spooned him. He held him close and breathed in his scent.
“You make me want things I can’t have,” he murmured to himself, exhaling heavily against Ian’s neck.
He fell asleep swiftly, and in the morning, he didn’t ask Ian to leave.

I mean my appearance iz more of the serious type one but my personality depends on how the person I'm talking to is. I'm very straightforward and can't beat around the bush. People often get hurt because of this. I am very competitive af. I am an ambivert. I cannot communicate with children at all idk it feels weird to talk when i cannot understand what they are saying. I'm more comfortable with elders. I have leadership qualities and experiences. I am very open minded compared to others around me. Once you get to know me I'm really chill and open with you. I love music and dance. I am very clumsy. That's why sometimes I'm scared going outside at family places. I like hugs and only hugs. I don't like other skin ships. I have a good fashion sense and often get praised for that. I like working out and taking care of myself. I have a wild imagination world. So i write stories and stuff. I like pets and trees. I like black, red and beige aesthetics. I love fragrances and perfumes alotttttt especially soft ones like soap , shampoo, candles. I really like accessories and tattoos. I get happy with very little things ☺. I can debate very well. I like to speak calmly and prefer people not to shout. I'm scared of heights, sea, loud noises, darkness and ghost 👻😳😅 basically everything. I'm very protective and passionate about my friends. I am a very curious soul. My love language is physical touch like cuddling and kisses. I am very understanding of others feelings. I am very flirty Unintentionally but only with my friends. Cleanliness is very important to me!!! I hate manner less people and prefer to maintain basic manners.
I hope it's enough. And thank you very much 😊
Hello love!! Hope you are doing good!!:)
☺️Jungkook☺️
To me you seem that you are tough outside but a soft baby inside:) wanna protect you at all costs! With him, I feel that your relationship would be like bestfriends turned to lovers. I just feel that you guys would blend in soo well together. There are parts of you which he would bring to light and there are parts of him which you would. He’s an analytical and a critical person(not in a negative way) but as per your personality, you wouldn’t mind criticism and learn from it. You would understand his intentions, you would know that all he wants is you to grow. You also very well know how to create your boundary and he would learn that, he would understand your limits and try to cooperate the same way you do. So it’s a mutual give and take. I could see that he would laugh at your adorableness(even if that’s a word) while you are staring at a child crying and you are simply like, what did even happen? Dates with him would be going to couple workouts together, hanging out late at night on streets to have food(even though you both might be health conscious but sometimes it’s okay) him always sticking by your side and wanting only your touch on him so he might constantly be in touch you with you because it helps him feel secure. You both would inspire people to live healthy. Everyday with him would feel like warm home. You trying new experiments and he would be the one to encourage you and at the same time help you be more grounded. He would never restrict you to do something but would be there for you like right by your side when things go wrong. When you would cry, his warm hug would take all your sorrow away, his arms would be the one where you could feel the whole world. Just with him:)
Tumblr media
I hope you like it love!! Please leave your feedback as it helps me grow and improve!! Till then take care!! Sending you lots of love and happiness!!:))

everyone on the carte blanche for the ask meme
everyone? oh boy this is gonna get long ajfhdsf
JUNO
First impression: i, like a lot of people who get into the podcast without knowing a great deal about it, was expecting at most an ambiguously bisexual angst machine with a closely-guarded heart of gold. juno being an explicitly bisexual genderqueer angst machine is perhaps the most pleasant surprise of my life. the angst machine heart of gold characters were kind of my type at the time, so i loved him right away
Impression now: every time i think about juno’s arc from depressed mess held together by bad coping mechanisms, safety pins, and a few good strong puns into someone who can talk about his feelings, feel comfortable about being happy, and recognise when he needs to change, i want to cry about it a little bit. the depth of my love for juno steel has only grown along with him
Favourite moment: juno has a lot of great one-liners and i’m still a big fan of the “on the other hand i wasn’t wearing a watch” bit and who can forget such classics as juno finally deciding to stop moping over nureyev and move on only for him to open the door to his apartment and find nureyev sitting in the dark dramatically, but honestly nothing will ever hit me harder than his sudden, pissed-off declaration of “i can’t die yet, i still have shit to do!” in promised land. god.
Idea for a story: oh i have so many and i want to write most of them so no spoilers, but juno accidentally kidnaps a baby during a carte blanche heist and shenanigans ensue
Unpopular opinion: obviously we all know he’s dummy thicc but i feel like a lot of people forget he’s an actual genius, like the stuff he notices and how he strings it together is sometimes so obscure and he’s almost always right. oh, also juno is not skinny and i will not be taking criticism on that
Favourite relationship: this is so tough because every dynamic is so good, but i think it has to be juno and rita. those two are so good! the best best friends in the world!! i’m really a sucker for any dynamic that’s ridiculously in-sync so i loved these two as soon as juno saw rita’s notes in prince of mars and went “makes perfect sense to me” (which it probably didn’t, because rita, but he trusted that she knew what she was doing which is the important part)
Favourite headcanon: this isn’t really a headcanon but i still think about how juno is (was?) deathly afraid of heights but when he heard rex glass coming he still attempted to climb out of the window. either his aversion to working with dark matters/other people in general was so strong is overrided his fear, or his office was actually on the ground floor. not sure which of these is funnier.
NUREYEV
First impression: we’ve all seen the memes about nureyev knowing juno steel for one (1) day and deciding to Risk It All by leaving him with his name, look at this Hopeless Romantic, this utter DISASTER of a homosexual. the fact the very next time we hear from nureyev (at least directly) he’s patiently waiting in juno’s dark apartment to surprise him with a heist definitely supports this image.
Impression now: even after literally being inside peter’s head, i feel like we didn’t get a real sense of who he is until man in glass, where we find out he aggressively compartmentalises everything that causes him stress. he’s also distinctly someone who’s had his heart broken before, i think, which makes those first appearances of his very strange. but it does remind me of what juno says about diamond, and how he decided to provide the trust first and wait for the trustworthiness to grow in (only to get severely hurt), and i think that’s exactly what nureyev did. i am also... very uneasy with how suspicious he’s behaving this season because obviously i want to believe he’ll sort it all out and not betray the crew but... oof
Favourite moment: the beginning of what lies beyond pt1 where he’s affectionately bullying juno into taking care of himself? cleared my crops watered my skin etc etc etc
Idea for a story: i’d love to hear more about his past as a young thief idolising buddy and vespa (i can’t actually remember if that’s canon or fanon but anyway i wanna read it!)
Unpopular opinion: i think people often cling to an image of him that more resembles his first impressions in season 1 instead of seeing the depth that we’ve been given about his character in season 3
Favourite relationship: him and juno but honestly it’s a close call between them and his budding friendship with rita. even though she learned it by accident, his name is still a point of intimacy and it’s one less secret to keep around her which has to be a weight off his shoulders, at least a little? they seem like they could be really good friends once ultrabots is out of the way. juno steel love (and also bullying) zone activates whenever they’re together
Favourite headcanon: i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again - nureyev has never done a household chore in his goddamn life. he doesn’t know the water needs to be hot when you wash dishes.
RITA
First impression: honestly i’m not sure? i don’t remember having a big awareness of her in murderous mask but i remember loving her “note-taking” in prince of mars, i thought she sounded really fun and cute
Impression now: rita is really fun and cute, she’s also an extremely hardworking and dedicated woman who had the guts to throw in with a detective fired from the force and then invest all of her time and money into helping him help people.
Favourite moment: Rita Gets A Knife. enough said
Idea for a story: i don’t know honestly! i really struggle to write rita because her thought processes are so wild and i don’t think any story i could come up with would match mega ultrabots of cyberjustice.
Unpopular opinion: this shouldn’t be unpopular because juno steel himself shares this opinion but all future-jupeter headcanons are incomplete without rita also being a huge part of their lives
Favourite relationship: rita + franny 4ever obviously.. jk it’s juno & rita have you heard rita minute 3 they’re too adorable for this world. im still Soft over their conversation at the end of soul of the people when he said he couldn’t stay in hyperion anymore but he wouldn’t leave with the carte blanche if rita wasn’t coming because he was done leaving her behind, and she threw out all her hesitations on the spot and said call the big guy. speaking of, rita & jet are a close second. instant best friends i love them.
Favourite headcanon: i think this is basically canon now but rita being literally half the height of jet is so good
JET
First impression: “haha lorge funny man puts juno in the trash”
Impression now: jet sikuliaq is one of the dearest characters to me out of anything ever. he is a huge, menacing, polite, kind, sincere man who i would very much like to give me a hug. he’s the best aro ace in outer space and while being generally very levelheaded and straightforward, also takes every opportunity to fuck with juno because it’s very easy and very hilarious to him personally. he is everything my autistic acearo ass needed and i’m so glad to have him
Favourite moment: all of them every single one. him putting juno in the trash is of course a classic and every moment jet chooses to be funny makes my heart happy, but also every piece of genuine advice he gives. i’m a particular fan though of buddy recounting her years in the lighthouse and him saying he became concerned when she didn’t come downstairs at the usual time. “you took the door off its hinges.” “i was deeply concerned.” king of understatement
Idea for a story: again no spoilers for you but..... tools of rust time loop au
Unpopular opinion: this isn’t “unpopular” as much as it is unknown but jet is buddy’s queerplatonic partner and i will keep saying it until everyone believes it
Favourite relationship: jet and buddy,,, just everything about them. the way he suspects when she’s lying, the way she makes tea for him when she expects him to drop by. the fact he comes to check on her when she is 41 seconds late to the family meeting because it’s unlike her to be late and the last time she was late for something her brain was turning to radiation soup. but most especially the way she snaps at him to stay out of her business and he said he could not because he made her promise eight years ago to never stay out of the business of her health, no matter how many times she asked. they r literally in a qpr
Favourite headcanon: i don’t think this is true but i still think it would be funny if the ruby-7 used to be painted red but when jet got it he had it painted green because he Just Really Likes Green (as evidenced by his hovercycle). it’s very funny to me.
BUDDY
First impression: it’s been a minute since i relistened to time gone by but i’m pretty sure the first thing she ever says in the podcast is sliding up to depressed accidental whiskey thief juno and say “that’ll be ten million creds,” scaring the shit out of him, so needless to say i was in love instantly.
Impression now: my love for buddy aurinko has only grown and if it sounds like i already said that in this post it’s because i did about juno and it’s appropriate because the parallels are astounding. the heart of it all gave us such depth to buddy’s internal monologue and why she always sounds like she knows exactly what to say and what that’s like and honestly will i ever be over the heart of it all as an episode? unlikely. i think i’m gonna have a little piece of it in MY heart forever.
Favourite moment: everything she’s ever said is iconic as hell i especially like “in an impressive fit of hubris i’ve decided not to prepare my words for this vow” which made me laugh out loud but once again i must give it up for her iconic “I WANT TO LIVE” moment. honourable mentions to her taking rita out for ice cream and giving juno shooting lessons while she’s in her actual wedding gown. i love her
Idea for a story: buddy and vespa as sun/moon dieties.... that’s all
Unpopular opinion: stop drawing her with a fancy high-tech eye like the theia!! it canonically looks like garbage and it’s described in detail, please, i’m dying, also don’t minimise her scars you bastards
Favourite relationship: buddy and vespa invented romantic love and the entire carte blanche crew’s relationship to her is great but you know by now i’m a slut for buddy & jet out-of-this-world queerplatonic partners. the way she checks in on him during tools of rust to make sure he’s not relapsing and he comes to find her when she is 41 seconds late in the heart of it all to make sure she’s not having a heart problem!! it’s the trust,, the devotion,, the mortifying ordeal of being known
Favourite headcanon: she can sing. absolutely tears it up at karaoke. i’m right
VESPA
First impression: knife lesbian goes STAB. she will heal your wounds but she will be threatening to give you more the whole time
Impression now: she is extremely strong, heart-rendingly tender, and despite being in the older half of the carte blanche crew somehow has unmistakable little sister energy which makes her downright hilarious. i’m so glad she got to marry buddy and they’re official space wives now they’re so good for each other
Favourite moment: both from shadows in the ship, either “GUN!!” “KNIFE?!” (iconic) or when she clocks the dark matters drone pretending to be juno because it called her crazy and juno wouldn’t call her crazy. i’m always a sucker for “shapeshifter fails to fool mark because they Know Each Other Too Well” and it was just *chefs kiss* so good
Idea for a story: i really want to write something about when she was first staying at the lighthouse with buddy post-reunion, and getting to know jet and stuff. i think it would be cute
Unpopular opinion: i know vespa doesn’t canonically have lots of scarring but people who don’t draw her with scarring? cowards.
Favourite relationship: once again, although buddy and vespa invented romantic love, i just love the dynamic between vespa and juno so much. they’ve come so far with each other and their weird sibling dynamic gives me life. at the end of what lies beyond when juno says “we’re not gonna kill her, vespa” and instead of sounding full of Rage and Suspicion she’s like “whyyy notttt?” and he’s like “because i said so!” and that’s just good enough for her even if she’s a bit grumpy about it. i love it.
this took.. a hot minute to do! jshkfjsdgsa thank you dyl ily <3

Angel Part 1
Spot Conlon fell in love with you because of your beautiful voice. What will happen when he finds out it’s all because of a dare from Jack Kelly?
masterlist / part 2
Tumblr media
The sound of cobblestones clicking under your heels disappears into the bustle of a Manhattan afternoon. It’s sunny today, the first time in a while. You smile at your newsie friends as you pass them, walking briskly past office workers and wealthy ladies to reach your destination: Medda’s theatre. 
You’ve been working for Medda for almost a year now, as a singer, pianist, and basically whatever she needed at the moment. You’ve sung by yourself, as backup to another act, played the piano, and helped her organize the acts performing at her theatre. All in all, you’ve proved yourself a hardworking and trustworthy friend to both Medda and the newsboys of New York, which is why you’re also not surprised to see Jack Kelly leaning against a wall in the theatre’s lobby.
“Jack Kelly, is that you? Who are you hiding from now?” At the sound of your voice, Jack looks up and grins. “Aw, Y/N, you’se just as kind as ever. And for your information, I’m not here to hide- we Manhattan boys have a meeting with some of the Brooklyn newsies over some of our selling rules.” You walk with him backstage, where you’re enveloped by the noise and commotion typical of Medda’s theatre. “Oh, doesn’t that sound wonderful. You tell me tomorrow how many times the Brooklyn boys soaked you during your meeting.” Jack pretends to pout at you. “Don’t be like that, Y/N! We can defend yourselves.” At your raised eyebrows, he adds on: “Especially because only one of them is coming.”
You check the clock on the wall, relaxing when you see you’ve got more than an hour before your performance starts. “I’m sure you’ll have a great time. You going to stick around after the show or should I just go home once I’m done?” Jack turns to you with a contemplative look on your face that makes you more than a little worried. “Actually, I’ll need your help for one small favor.” You turn to him, sighing. “What would that be? I’m not planning on becoming a newsie, and there’s no reason for me to be at your meeting, so don’t even-” 
Jack holds up a hand, stopping your little outburst. “Don’t you worry! I just need you to sing extra nice tonight. You see, when Spot Conlon and I were setting up tonight’s meeting, he made fun of Medda’s theatre. He was saying some kinda nonsense about how Brooklyn boys were tougher than us in ‘Hattan because they don’t spend all their time watching people sing and stuff. I wanna get back at him for saying that.”
He looks at you, letting a small grin slide across his face. “One thing you should know about Spot Conlon is that he’s kinda partial to pretty goils like you. So, I’ve arranged for him to come over a little early, during your act. He’ll see you sing, he’ll fall in love, I’ll make fun of him. Then we’re even. So, what do you say?”
You look at Jack in disbelief. “You think me singing is going to make the King of Brooklyn fall in love with me? Are you out of your mind?” Jack scoffs. “Of course it will! You’re a goil, he’s a tough but lonely guy, case closed.” You raise an eyebrow. “Well, I appreciate your confidence in me, but I don’t think it’s going to be that easy.” When Jack looks at you with pleading eyes, you sigh but relent. “Fine, I’ll do it. Just keep in mind that I think this plan is ridiculous.” Jack grins happily at you. “You’se the best, Y/N.” You wave a hand at him while you start to get ready for your performance. “Yeah, I am.”
Spot Conlon sighs as he makes his way from Brooklyn to Manhattan. He’s tired after a long day in the hot New York sun, and now he has to deal with Jack Kelly and his friends. He passes by shops and street corners, silently enjoying the nervous looks from the Manhattan newsies. He is entertained by their reactions, although he’s more than earned his reputation it’s kind of gotten away from him and spread like wildfire throughout the newsies of New York. First, he hears that he’s beaten up both the Delancey brothers before they could even blink, then he’s stolen money right out of Pulitzer’s pocket whilst selling papes. It doesn’t matter how impossible the story, it just adds to his fame and the fear when newsies see his face.
Before he knows it, he’s slipping into the refreshing coolness of Medda Larkin’s theatre. He doesn’t know why Jack insisted on gathering here, but he supposes it does work well as a meeting room. One of the many acts is just finishing up, so Spot confidently strides up to Jack, who’s waiting backstage. 
“Kelly.” “Conlon.” They spit on their palms and shake hands. “You ready to talk business.” For some reason, Jack’s eyes gleam. “Actually, a friend of mine is about to perform. Surely you don’t mind if I watch? She’s asked me to stick around.” Spot sighs. “You should’ve told me to come later. It’s not good to keep the King of Brooklyn waiting-”
Spot’s grievances are interrupted as the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen walks onstage. She’s dressed in a light pink dress, which brings out the soft E/C of her eyes and glow in her cheeks. She comes to stop in front of a microphone stand, and takes a moment to prepare herself before she starts to sing. 
Spot swears he’s never heard anything like it. Her voice is sweet like honey, and comes tumbling out from her delicate lips to swirl and cascade around the theatre. Spot is mesmerized, and his reverie is broken only when the song finally ends and the girl curtsies to the sound of wild applause. Jack turns to him, grinning. “So what did you think?”
The girl comes off stage to greet Jack, smiling happily at him. “Was it alright?” Jack laughs. “You were spectacular, as always.” The girl turns to Spot inquisitively, and Jack introduces them. “This is Spot Conlon, King of Brooklyn. Spot, this is Y/N L/N, a good friend of mine.” When Y/N looks at him, Spot feels like he could get lost forever in her eyes. Just as he’s opening his mouth to say something, Jack claps his hands together. “Well, we should be on our way. We have a meeting, as I told you.” Y/N nods, then says goodbye and leaves them to their business. Spot can’t help but watch her go, wishing he weren’t just here to talk selling rules with Jack so he could spend more time with her.
When Jack’s meeting with Spot is finally over, he practically runs up to you, beaming with satisfaction. “Man, you should have seen the look on Conlon’s face. He was head over heels.” Somehow, your heart gives a funny little flutter when you hear that. Jack never told you that Spot Conlon was that good-looking, and you can feel a light blush settling onto your cheeks from the mere mention of his name. “Good for you.” You two talk for a moment longer, then you wave goodbye to your friend and head out of the theatre.
“Can I walk you home?” You turn in surprise to see Spot Conlon waiting for you outside of the theatre’s exit. The two of you have a wonderful stroll to your apartment, and you feel more than a little disappointed when you reach your door. “It was really nice to meet you.” You say in a whisper. “I would agree. In fact, I’d like to get to know you better. Would you’se be okay if we met up again?” You break into a grin at that, and readily agree.
And so you and Spot grow into a fast friendship. He is kind, and handsome, and you treasure every moment you spend with him. The little things about him seem to stand out to you, like the way he laughs or the flash in his eyes when he sees you. Even the nickname he’s given you, Angel, makes you feel like you’re on top of the world. You often meet up at the theatre after your work is done, and it’s a day like this that you find yourself seated at the piano when Spot walks in to walk you home.
“You know, Angel, I don’t think I’se ever heard you play.” You look up when you hear Spot’s voice, and let a light smile cross your face. “Probably because I usually only sing when I perform.” You pull a few pieces of sheet music from a stack next to you and place them in front of you. “I do love to play, though, and I try to practice as often as I can. Medda’s nice and lets me play whenever I want, as long as there isn’t a show going on at the time.” You let your fingers dance across the keys, and Spot walks to stand beside you. “You know, I didn’t listen to that much music before I met youse. Guess I was too tough to get a personal musician.” You laugh at that, although you feel guilt wrapping up inside you. The truth is, this is exactly what Jack wanted when he first asked you to sing for Spot. You’ve tried to convince yourself that things are different because that performance was over, but a tiny thread of doubt creeps around your heart.
After you finish playing, Spot walks you home as always. You let yourself love the way his fingers curl just slightly towards yours, as if he wants to hold your hand but feels too afraid of how you feel to close the distance between the two of you. It might be the only time Spot Conlon has been nervous to do what he wants. You enjoy the feeling of him walking beside you, but your happy mood is ruined once you see Oscar Delancey striding towards you.
You start to tense up once you see him. Oscar Delancey has the unfortunate habit of having a crush on you, and it seems like he’s made it his one goal in life to ruin whatever friendship you have with a boy out of pure jealousy. One time, you were talking with Jack on the way to Medda’s theatre, and he tried to call Snyder on him just because he was walking with you. Luckily, the other newsies are well aware of your predicament, and know to take care around him, but that doesn’t stop you from getting nervous at the sight of Oscar’s eyes growing cold when he sees Spot with you. Spot touches your hand comfortingly, and he whispers in your ear: “Don’t worry, Angel, you’re with me. He won’t do anything to hurt you.”
Unfortunately, this appears to not be the case. You’ve just passed Oscar when he scoffs and says loudly, “You know, Spot, if you knew the truth about why Y/N wants to spend time with you, you might not want to be around her anymore.” Spot, cocky as ever, rises to the bait and turns around to face the Delancey brother. “And what exactly is that supposed to mean?” Oscar just chuckles. “Oh, didn’t you know? Jack Kelly dared Y/N to sing extra nicely when you first met her so he could make fun of you for talking dirt about Medda’s theatre. She doesn’t care about you, never has.” Spot’s eyes flash to you. “Is this true, Y/N?” You feel frozen in place. “Well, uh, it wasn’t like that-” 
When he realizes you can’t deny what Oscar said, Spot’s gaze turns angry. “That’s funny, Y/N. Real funny. Do you know why I wanted to walk you home every single day and be with you all the time?” You can feel tears threatening to spill out and you do your best to hold them back. Spot leans closer to you, speaking in a whisper that only the two of you can hear. “I wanted to be with you because I loved you. I can see that was stupid of me. Tell Jack you got me fooled, okay? It was a good prank.” Your eyes widen, and you start to stammer out a reply. “Spot, please! It’s not like that! I-” The King of Brooklyn just walks away from you, leaving you alone with the words dying on your tongue. I loved you too.

Life in Pink
Pairing: Frank Iero x Female Reader Rating: General Requested By: None Word Count: ~1,200 Author’s Note: Spotify randomly brought me the song Life in Pink by The Ready Set today. I’d never actually heard it that I can remember, but I was instantly like “oh that’s a story!” and it was one of those things where my brain wouldn’t let me focus on anything else until I got this done. At first it wasn’t even gonna be Halloween related, but a quick edit made it so I didn’t have to wait to post this it lol
Tumblr media
If Frank had to describe (YN) in one word, it would be pink.
Not because of her appearance, or wardrobe, but because of her whole aura, her presence. A total stranger would have felt the warmth and affection she radiated toward everyone. It was as if she heard the expression "leave a little glitter everywhere you go" and she made it her personal mission to do just that. She could charm her way into any party and the host would only be mad at themselves for not inviting her in the first place.
Now he was standing in the corner of a Halloween party, feeling glad the actual day, his birthday, wasn't for another week as he wouldn't want to spend here. Unless (YN) would be there, he'd hang out in a trash dump if it meant hanging out with her. Luckily he didn't have to sit in trash tonight, as she had just walked into the party, but hadn't spotted him yet. Of course she was dressed as a princess, while he was dressed as a disgusting monster. It was an accurate representation of both of them he thought.
He watched her as she moved through the crowd. (YN) kissed her friends hello and he wondered how soon she would finally make her way to him. He lived for the moments when her lips grazed across his cheek, or she wrapped him in a hug. 
But he also knew the other side of her that she didn’t let anyone else see. The sad days, the lonely days. There weren't many people she trusted with that kind of information, not wanting to be a burden on anyone else, but she had let Frank in and he always wondered why she chose him. Maybe because more often than not he was sad and lonely, closed off from others, the opposite of her.
"Hey Frank!" She greeted him with a big smile, eyes sparkling as she pulled him into a hug. She smelled good. She always smelled good, like fresh laundry. It made him almost happy to do his own because it reminded him of her.
"Hey (YN)," his expression warming now that he was in her orbit. 
"You looked like a lonely zombie over here, so I thought I'd come join you."
"You don't have to worry about me," he replied, looking down at his cup of stale, room temperature beer. "I'm good."
She gave him a knowing look. "Come on, let's at least go someplace quieter, I feel like we haven't talked in forever!"
Frank acquiesced and they made their way out the front door. "Wanna stay here, or walk?" He asked.
(YN) pondered for a moment. "Walk."
Frank dropped his beer on the lawn, and they made their way to the sidewalk.
"So how've you been? Honestly?" She asked.
"Honestly?" He replied. "Ok I guess. Nothing's going on one way or another, just waiting for my next gig."
"Are you gonna invite me to the next My Chem show?" 
"You wanna go?" He asked, surprised.
"Duh! You're amazing! You guys are amazing."
A smile broke across Frank's face at her compliment as they arrived at a small park. They made their way to the swings and sat down. "You just wanna get with the lead singer," he said in a joking tone, but he couldn’t help but wonder if he was right. All the girls loved Gerard. Hell, all the boys did too, himself included, the guy was gorgeous, but nothing compared to (YN).
"Mmm no, I like guitarists better," she replied as she started to swing.
Frank drew his eyebrows together in confusion. "I'll let Toro know that he has a chance then," he replied and (YN) laughed.
"Oh Frank," she sighed.
Frank kicked at the gravel as (YN) kept swinging. The squeaking of the chains and the rustling of her skirt in the breeze were the only noises in the moonlit park.
"I'm gettin cold," Frank said suddenly as a chill shook through him. "Only you could drag me out of a perfectly warm party."
(YN) laughed. "You know you love me, Frankie."
"I do," he replied out loud, surprised at how easily the words slipped out. 
"Ok Frankie," she replied with another laugh.
Frank's mind was spinning. He could leave it alone and let her keep thinking that he meant nothing by it. Friends tell each other they love the other all the time right?
Or.
Or he could be honest. He could tell her that he's been hopelessly, pathetically in love with her since he first saw her.
"No, (YN), I really do love you. I am in love with you!"
(YN) let her feet drag in the gravel as she swung back down. Confusion on her face turning to surprise. "You... Oh!"
"Sorry," he said, getting up and walking away. Why had he bothered telling her how he felt? She could never love a guy like him back. She deserved someone like Ray, with a warm heart, or like Gerard, gorgeous and creative. He was so lost in thought and self pity that he didn't hear the crunching of gravel behind him.
"Frank!" She said grabbing his hand, making him stop in his tracks and face her. "You didn't let me respond."
"It's ok, you don’t have-"
"I love you too Frankie. Not just as a friend, but like, in love. Really really in love. When I first met you, I actually didn't ever think someone as cool and tough as you could stand to be around someone like me for more than five minutes, but you've always been so kind and genuine and that's why I felt like I could be more honest and open with you than anyone else I know. And the fact that you never bailed on me just made me fall even harder. I just really never thought you'd ever feel the same."
He realized his hand was still intertwined with hers, so with his free hand he reached up and caressed her cheek. Her skin was so perfectly soft, but a little cold from the night air. She leaned into the touch and Frank felt like his heart was going to burst. 
"I love you so much (YN)," he said again before leaning in and kissing her with every ounce of pent up love and affection he'd ever felt toward her. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him tight against her as she kissed him back. He never wanted his moment to stop. He could die right then and he'd be satisfied.
When they pulled back, he searched her face for any glimmer of regret, but despite the fog from their breath swirling between them, he saw nothing but love and adoration on her face, he leaned in again, kissing her sweetly. When they parted, they walked hand in hand back to the party. 
"Wait, your birthday is next week! What do you want for your birthday?" She asked looking up at him excitedly.
"I got everything I could ever want right here, right now," he replied with a soft smile before lifting her hand and pressing a kiss to it.

I Am Not Spiderman
Tumblr media
*Pairing: Spiderman Mark lee
*Genre: Fluff
*Plot idea: (This master piece was inspired by my friend @sharklee127​‘s imagine about Spiderman Mark and I wanted to make it into a longer fic!) Mark lived a painfully boring life. Nothing special ever happened to him, he even resorted to joining Yearbook club so he could at least observe more interesting lives. But all of that changed when the new girl shows up and Mark gets lost during his tour of Osborn Laboratories. 
*Word count: 3,600
*Warnings: Cussing, cute baby Mark
━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━
 You first met Mark in the crowded hallways of your high school. You had just moved from your small town home in Upstate New York all the way to Queens because your father had received a once in a lifetime position at Osborn Laboratories. You were hesitant about moving and leaving all of your friends and your old school behind but like the supportive daughter you were you transferred to Midtown High “school in Forest Hill, Queens with a smile on your face. Maybe that had something to do with the fact that you were also given an internship at Osborn Laboratories and that would look excellent on your college applications, whatever it was you soon found yourself in one of the largest schools you have ever seen. Thousands of students must have to attend here which made you slightly nervous, how were you going to make friends when there are so many people to get to know at once? Internship… remember the internship. So you walked into the building with your head held high and your earbuds pushed snugly in your ears as you used your music to drown out the unfamiliar sound of hundreds of kids screaming at each other. 
    You got a few looks from the people who realized they’ve never seen you before but the majority looked right through you, and one boy even tried to walk right through you. “Oh my god, I am so sorry!” The stranger rushed out as you fell to the floor. His books in hand followed in suit, the hardcovers making an obnoxiously loud sound. “It’s okay.” You muttered, letting out a soft sigh before leaning forward to help the clumsy boy pick up the textbooks. “Are you okay?” He asked, extending a hand for you to take, which you did; you had to make friends somehow. You just nod at his question, handing him the books with a small smile. “Oh, Thanks… Are you new here? I’ve never seen you before.” You look up at the lanky boy, his hair was so fluffy you had to restrain yourself from reaching out and seeing if it’s as soft as it looks. He wore thick black-framed glasses that had their fair share of tape holding them together, so he was always this clumsy. “How could you tell? There’s like a million kids here.” You exaggerate, your smile growing. He was kind of cute. 
    “Try a little over three-thousand. And when you walk the same halls for three years you start to pick up on faces, even the people you’ve never talked to. Plus it does help that I work with the yearbook.” He was shy when he spoke, his voice quiet and he avoided any form of eye contact, he had the habit of scratching behind his neck every few seconds but yet you were still intrigued. “A little over three-thousand is a lot compared to the school I used to go to.” you joke with a small smile. “I’m Y/N, I know its a bit sudden but you’re the first person I’ve talked to here, do you think you can show me around? I have my schedule but it makes absolutely zero sense.” You were hopeful, maybe you didn’t have to be the new girl who got lost on her first day. “I’m Mark! And despite the fact that I talk too much sometimes and I fall a lot, I’m a pretty damn good tour guide.” You let out a small laugh and hand him your schedule. “Then lead the way Mark.” 
    “Looks like you and I have Chemistry together first period!” The boy said with an excited smile, “And we’re in the same lunch block! You can sit with me if you’d like, I’m sure Ned won’t mind.” Mark rambled and you just listened, nodding your head along. You found the nerdy boy quite amusing, and really, really cute. “Sure! Sitting with you sounds a lot more appealing than sitting by myself.” You reply, giving the dark-haired boy a smile, which he returned. “And we have arrived! This is the Chemistry lab.” He opened the door to the lab and led you into the room, “We do experiments Tuesday Thursday, and lectures Monday Wednesday, and a free workday on Friday.” Mark brings you to one of the many lab tables and takes a seat, you follow, sitting on the stool next to his. “Oh, cool! I like chemistry.. And just science in general.” You confide, excited to see what experiments you would be doing in this class. “Really!? Me too!” There it is… another one of his perfect smiles. You admire it while it lasts but his attention is diverted from you to the teacher walking in. 
~
    Lunchtime has finally rolled around. You didn’t know exactly where the cafeteria was, but your plan was to just follow everyone else after the bell rang. But it turned out you didn’t have to do that because as soon as you walk out the door of your AP Calculus class you are met with Mark leaning against the lockers. “Figured you didn’t know where the lunchroom is.” He said simply. Just the small action sent the long-dormant butterflies in your stomach into a frenzy. “How’d you guess?” You teased, falling into step with the taller boy as you two walked down the crowded halls together once more. “Just a gut feeling.” he teased back, and you couldn’t help but laugh. 
    “So how are your other classes? Probably not as interesting without me right?” You playfully roll your eyes as you sit down at the lunch table in the far back, the previous mentioned Ned was not there yet so it was just you and Mark. “Oh of course, without Mark Lee my life is just dim hues of grey.” You say dramatically. Mark chuckled and rolled his eyes back. “Maybe you should drop the whole science thing and become a theater major… Drama queen.” You scoff but before you could give your snarky reply someone joined the two. “Oh Hey! Ned this is Y/N, Y/N this is Ned, my best friend.” You smile up at the new addition to the table, giving him a small wave. “Nice to meet you!” you say sweetly before reaching into your bag and pulling out your lunchbox. It was only your first day and you made two new friends… Success. 
~
     “Dad I think you’re more nervous than me.” Today was your first day for your internship at Osborn Laboratories and your dad was driving you to the large building. “What? No! I’m just excited! You and I are working together, it’s like every day is bring your daughter to work day.” You smile at his enthusiasm, humming along to the soft music coming from the radio. 
      You two approached the company and you couldn’t lie, you were just excited as your father, this was the opportunity of a lifetime. The selection process for this internship is tough, hundreds of teens apply but only five make it in, and you just happened to be one of those five and so did… “Mark??” Even from behind you could tell that it was your new friend. After a week of following him around the school, you’ve become accustomed to the messy bedhead and bad posture. The boy turned around in surprise, following the sound of his name. “Y/N?! What are you doing here?” He asked, an automatic smile appearing once he saw you. He jogged over to where you were walking and took his normal spot next to you. “I’m here for the internship! Today is the first day.” You explain, ignoring your father’s questioning eyes for now. “No way! Me too!” you look up at him with shock, what were the odds. Even if you didn’t meet at school you two were destined to cross paths at some point. You only smile widely, bumping into the other’s shoulder playfully, “Guess we’ll be spending even more time together.” You say with a raised eyebrow and Mark only smiled. “Guess so.” He replied.
        You two joined the other three interns once you walked through the large glass doors, the intro tour was starting soon but Mark had left after a few seconds to go to the bathroom before the important information was given. You pitied your friend, the directions he got to the bathroom were even more confusing than the school hallways you were still learning. When the tour started and Mark wasn’t back yet you started to grow nervous, the guide’s voice going in one ear out the other as you look around for the lanky boy. Did he really get lost? You were too scared to pull out your phone, knowing it would look disrespectful, so you just try to forget about Mark for now and focus on the guide, you can just give the boy a recap once you see him again. Which wasn’t until the end of the tour. The skinny boy came rushing towards you from some random doorway and you let out a breath of relief. “Mark Lee where the Hell have you been?” You whispered angrily as he got close enough to be in earshot. “To be honest, I don’t really know, I got lost like majorly lost, I don’t wanna talk about it.” You tilted your head curiously, wondering why your friend was gripping the back of his neck, he stopped doing that as often as you two got closer so it was weird to see. You just shrugged and turned away. “Can you catch me up on everything?” He asked, leaning over so his head rested on your shoulder from behind you. “What are friends for?” 
~
    Its officially been one month since you transferred to this new school and met Mark, and you can safely say there hasn’t been one boring day. After your first day as interns Mark started acting a bit weird. He no longer wore his glasses but he excused that with his new love of contacts. He was stronger and his body was not as lanky as before and overall just gave off a new aura. He didn’t feel like your normal nerdy Mark. You weren’t complaining, of course, That boy needed some confidence you were just curious about its sudden appearance. 
     “Have you guys heard of that Spiderman dude?” You ask nonchalantly at the lunch table, you lift your head from your phone and look over at Mark, his eyes met yours and it was hard to hide the blush that appeared. Shy or confidant Mark, it didn’t matter, as time went on you fell head over heels for the fluffy-haired boy. He shakes his head quickly, “N-No! Spiderman? What stupid name is that?” He rushed out. “God you’re so weird Mark Lee, I was just asking. I saw a video of him on Twitter last night and he looks pretty cool, the suit could use some work though.” You shrug before taking a quick sip of your chocolate milk. “What’s wrong with the suit?!” Mark asked defensively, Ned glared at his friend and punched his arm from under the table, but you didn’t miss the way Mark flinched. He cleared his throat, letting out a nervous laugh, “Uh... I mean.. From what you’re saying, he’s a new hero right? He’s probably still working on the suit and other minor things.” Mark covered up poorly. You look over at the flustered boy before turning your head to Ned. “I guess..?” You replied simply. 
      The rest of the day was uneventful, Mark was still being his weird self but you were getting used to it. He had yearbook club today after school and you stayed with him since you guys carpooled together to Osborn. He knew you found yearbooking extremely boring though so he excused you and you left to wander the halls, it was rare to see them so empty and you took advantage of the quiet. You hummed softly to yourself as you scrolled through your phone, more and more videos of this Spiderman guy popping up on your feed. After a few minutes of silence, you were brought back to reality by the sounds of yelling and lockers rattling. Being the curious person you were you followed the noise. 
      “Mark?!” You were not expecting to see the boy you have a crush on, on top of the high school football star, both were throwing punches left and right. Mark had blood dripping from his lip while the other had a busted nose. You run-up to the nearest bystander, “What the Hell Happened?” You ask. You were too shocked to do anything, you thought you’d never live to see the day where Mark Lee got in a fight and was winning. “I don’t know! Levi was talking his normal shit talk and yearbook boy wasn’t having it, he just lunged at him.” Holy shit, the Mark you knew would never do anything like that. Just as you finally move to step forward and do your best to convince your friend to stop, the booming voice of the principal echoed throughout the halls. “What is going on?!” Just at the sound, everyone started running, including you. You ran towards Mark, grabbing his hand and pulling him up quickly. “Come on dumbass, if you get expelled you’ll lose the internship.” Levi apparently had the same idea as he also got up and bolted. 
    You and Mark ran hand in hand all the to his car and while you were completely out of breath, he was doing just fine, well except for the cut on his lip. As you two rushed into the car you couldn’t hold back anymore. “What the fuck were you thinking??” You almost yell, disappointment seeping through your voice. This bastard had the audacity to laugh. He was laughing! “Should I drive? You don’t seem mentally stable.” You only half-joke. “No no no I’m okay, I’m okay. Honestly, I’ve never been better! Do you know how long I’ve been wanting to do that? Since Freshman year.” You just watch Mark as he speaks. His hair was messy, his lip was bleeding, he had a bruise forming on his cheek, yet this was the happiest you have ever seen him. “I’m used to him making fun of me.. But he said something about you and I don’t know what came over me… all I know is that it felt good, really good.” Mark explained as he drove the familiar path to the lab. “What did he say?” You ask curiously, he did it for you..? “Something about taking you away from me, that you were too good to hang out with Ned and I… in his words you are too ‘hot’ to be associated with us… I hated it, I hated the way he talked about you. He doesn’t know how smart you are, how clever, you’re a genius and all he sees is how pretty you are.” Mark was in one of his many rants but with each word, your face grew redder and redder. Mark soon realizes his mistake and he shuts up too, a blush of his own growing. “You are though… You’re really pretty.”
     Once you two reach the lab you walk over to Mark’s side of the car and as soon as he got out you grabbed his hand. He didn’t argue and allowed you to lead him to the break room for the interns. “Sit down.” You said softly, pointing to one of the many chairs. For the first time, the air was awkward around you two and you hated it, no you despised it. You took what you needed from the first-aid kit before walking back over to your friend. You pulled another chair in front of Mark’s and when you sat down your knees were pressed against his. You both gulped nervously from the closeness but you just continued, leaning in slowly, using the edge of a cotton swab to clean the cut on the boy’s bottom lip. Your eyes were trained on the wound you didn’t even know Mark’s eyes were focused on the same thing. He couldn’t stop himself from training his gaze on your lips. He meant it earlier, he found you absolutely stunning, which was why he attacked Levi the way he did… because a part of Mark believed that the other boy was right. You were too good for him. “Y/N?” The boy whispered. “Hm?” you reply, not really paying attention to his words. “Can I kiss you?” That caught your attention. You looked up at Mark in surprise, your eyes wide. Did he just say what you thought he just said? “What?” You ask although you heard the question but your brain refused to process the words. “Can I kiss you? I’ve been wanting to kiss you since I met you but something happened to me recently that changed how I view the world and I just don’t want to live with regrets an-” Mark’s rant was cut off as you place your hand on the back of his neck, pulling him close so your lips met in a soft kiss. The first thing you noticed was how warm he felt against you, you felt safe and comfortable, kissing Mark was like sitting by a campfire during a freezing night, it was an escape, and you were afraid that with this one taste you would grow addicted. Mark was quick to act, his hands pulling you closer so you were literally on the edge of your seat. He also couldn’t believe this was happening, he’s liked you since he met you and he never thought the day would come where he would be kissing you and it felt so much better than what he imagined. After a few more seconds the both of you pulled away, your foreheads resting against each other as you let out a soft laugh.
~
    It’s been a few weeks since Mark and your’s first kiss, and you two have had plenty more since then. You couldn’t believe that you settled in so quickly to this new school. You had a group of friends and even a really cute boyfriend. But you couldn’t get the thought out of your head that Mark was hiding something from you. He would disappear randomly for hours at a time and give you pisspoor excuses as to why. Sure you were nervous and curious… but every time you asked about it he would just change the topic. You tried to ignore these thoughts though, just wanting to enjoy the date in Central Park with your boyfriend. “I think I figured out why you disappear all the time.” You muse with a teasing smile. “You’re Spiderman! Just think about it, I’ve never seen you and Spiderman in the same room, and every time you’re gone Spiderman is off saving the city.” You were teasing of course. Your hand was laced with his, the light from the buildings and the smog in the air hid most of the stars except for the brightest but the night breeze was very much appreciated. Autumn was coming to an end, the colorful leaves that once hung from the trees covered the ground. The street lights lit their path as the couple enjoyed the hot chocolate they bought a few minutes ago. Everything was perfect.
   “Hahaha very funny. I’m not Spiderman.” Mark said, giving you a playful look. You didn’t notice the way he tensed up when you brought up the idea. “I don’t know, you and the spidey boy have similar bodies.” You continue to joke, meeting Mark’s eyes. “First of all don’t call him spidey boy, and second of all, I. Am. Not. Spiderman.” Mark replied, not liking this conversation one bit. “I think you’re Spiderman.” You say with a simple shrug, you, on the other hand, found this game very fun. Mark stopped you two from walking before moving in front of you. He bent down slightly and cupped your face with his free hand. “Y/N.” He said sternly. He leaned in and placed a quick peck on your lips. “I.” Another peck. “Am.” A longer kiss this time. “Not.” Another peck. “Spiderman. What do I have to do for you to believe me?” You smiled up at Mark, your cheeks pink from the affection. “Hmmm.” You pretended to think before grinning, “Kiss me again… and again… and again..” Mark just laughed and pulled you closer, wrapping his arms around you tightly. “Okay.. I will kiss you as much as you want.” He answered before leaning in once more, his lips immediately meeting yours. You gripped his jacket as he moves to deepen the kiss, swiping his tongue over your bottom lip. But before that could happen Mark ripped away from you and turned around, following the sound of an explosion.
    You watched in shock as one of the tallest buildings in the city erupted into flames. “Oh my god.” You mumble the fire reflecting in your eyes as the screams filled the air. The shock didn’t end there, you saw Mark take his coat off in the corner of your eye, the rest of his clothes following to reveal the familiar red and blue suit. Before he pulled on the mask he looked over to you with a shy smile. “I will explain everything later.” was all he said before placing one last sweet kiss on your lips then raising one of his arms, webs shooting from his wrist to the nearest building. Mark swung out of sight, leaving you on one of the many sidewalks of Central Park, wide-eyed with your heart racing a mile a minute. All you could think of at the moment was one word, and it brought a smile to your face. 
“Liar.”

takeoff
Yoongi x reader
Summary: Once upon a time you were in a relationship with Yoongi. It was a few years since that statement was still true, the two of you breaking up because of his intense schedule.
You said you’ll wait for him. But the time still didn’t come yet when you suddenly met at the airport.
A/N: i just really got a soft moment of missing yoongi and mixing it up with some angsty idea seemed like a good call for me. also i wanna try and writing some works for each member at some point, so feel free to request something! or ask about being put to the taglist! love you all, have a great day<3
Warnings: gender-neutral reader, angst

Tumblr media
You promised each other that you will not cross roads until he’s going to be able to give you at least a fraction of his time. Being a member of BTS, especially during these tough times in the era of Love yourself: Her, their schedules were crazy and he could barely get any sleep per day, not even talking about dedicating his hours to someone else.
Your breakup was emotional and heart-shattering because you both loved each other very much.
You’ve been an army even before you’ve met Yoongi in 2014, so your pact of not seeing each other automatically banned you from ever attending a BTS concert in front rows, out of fear of him noticing you. It would be just too painful. Too much. For both parties.
He said he’ll get in touch. You deleted his phone number just so you don’t ever get an urge to call him and make things worse.
It was still radio silent. It’s been two years.
You’ve had a few hookups and non-committal flirts along the way, but nothing more. Your mind always reeled back to him.
Other members usually texted you, most often about festivities like a birthday or Christmas and you’ve been on quite friendly terms with them. They always messaged something like “Yoongi says hi,” but nothing from him directly and it was eating you alive.
You’ve been doing better lately though. You’ve concluded that one day he will come back to you - hopefully - and you’re essentially not losing anything, you just need to learn to live beyond your love towards Min Yoongi.
You just needed to get away. From your tiring job, annoying people, unsupportive family, house cleaning... all of that tedious stuff that’s been driving you up the wall lately and making you more and more agitated.
You were in dire need of a holiday.
Before travelling you always check whether BTS aren’t supposed to travel somewhere at the same time as you, just so you can avoid all the possibilities of meeting them, or at least a certain One of them.
This time the air was clear. Or so you thought.
.
.
.
You decided to go alone and put a lot of your savings in, just to have a comfortable trip. VIP seats on the plane, four stars hotel in the middle of nowhere, all for the peace of mind.
No monuments, no people.
You were minding your own business while waiting for such a long time for the boarding to finally begin.
Lately, you’ve picked up playing sudoku on your phone, so now you’ve been doing just that.
“Excuse me,” you heard a low voice of one of the security men that was trying to clear the way for the special passengers, normally wealthy assholes or politicians.
It happens sometimes. And you just happened to stand in their way. So when you were shushed away you shuffled a little bit to your right, trying to squish into the queue of people behind you.
You weren’t that interested as of whom those travellers are, that required special treatment, but you looked up from your phone anyways.
The moment your eyes left your screen, you saw a few white men who were carrying themselves as the whole airport belonged to them.
You subconsciously scowled at them unamused, until your gaze fell onto another set of eyes that appeared after them.
His face was almost wholly covered, beginning with the black cap on the head and ending with a white face mask over his nose.
You’d never be able to mix up those Korean cat-like eyes with anyone else.
Conveniently, the person looked up at you almost as if he felt your presence and your eyes met, his brows shooting up under the cap almost immediately, eyes widening in recognition.
Yoongi...
Everything was happening in slow motion.
Yoongi continued walking, only for a second raising his hand slightly in a gesture of a wave directed at you. He couldn’t take his eyes off you until he was no longer in your field of vision, heading behind many pillars towards the exit to the plane.
You didn’t realise it at first, but.. you started crying.
.
.
.
After a few failed attempts of trying to calm yourself down, you finally succeeded, just in time to give your documents to the steward for checking and going into the same hallway that Yoongi went through roughly ten minutes ago.
You just saw the love of your life come by after literal years and couldn’t do anything, losing him once more.
If you only had a chance to talk to him...
Fuck the fact that he can’t give me his time. It’s probably selfish from me that I’d be okay even with just texts from him, but... I just want him back. Dammit.
Your mind was reeling and hands sweating. You definitely blew your chance of talking to Yoongi for the last time.
There was still hope in your heart that he’s in love with you and still wants to be with you, but.. waiting for that long would take its toll on anyone, honestly.
You sighed and made your way into the first-class section of the plane, entering the third row. You weren’t so lucky to get a window seat, but you were satisfied nonetheless.
Some bag and a pair of glasses were sitting on a place next to you already, so you just shrugged at it and put your stuff into the container above your head, plopping yourself down with a phone in your hand and a pair of headphones.
You’ll need to stand up and let the person sit once they get here, since their stuff is already there, but you couldn’t be bothered by talking to anyone. Not after seeing him.
It took mentioned person about fifteen minutes to get back to their things, meanwhile you already had a hoodie on that covered most of your face and the view you had of the surroundings.
Just seeing someone’s shoes was enough to make you stand up and let them sit, while your rap playlist was blasting into your ears. Probably too loud, but you didn’t really care.
Once the steward went around and tugged at you gently to remind you to take off your headphones during takeoff you finally put down your hood and ran a hand through your hair.
Your eyes were chained to the floor, you just couldn’t stop thinking about him no matter how hard you tried.
If you only...
As the plane was taking off the ground, you wanted to get the view from the window, it’s what you always did since you were a kid.
... had one more chance to talk to him again.
You heard the landing gear shock absorber extend to its limit. The airbus left you in a momentum of the sinking sensation that comes after being lifted off into the air with another hundred passengers.
That’s when your eyes met with Yoongi’s, who’s appeared to be sitting right next to you.
.
.
.
“y/n..” he said, quietly, you almost didn’t catch it.
Your heart was beating in your legs, all the way in your brain, you feel like, pumping the blood everywhere in your body furiously.
“Yoongi..” as soon as his name left your lips, you let out a whimper, turning away, facing the hallway.
You can’t do this now, oh god. This is exactly why you two decided to never meet until you can be together again.
“Hey,” he murmured, taking one of your hands in both of his, squeezing it reassuringly.
He was careful, yet familiar and felt like home.
Of course. He always was your home and all this time without him you felt homeless.
Slowly, you turned your gaze back at him. He had a small smile painting his features, looking at you lovingly.
You couldn’t help but return it, even though you still had tears in your eyes, which even made you chuckle, biting your lip.
“You okay?” he asked, still cautiously choosing words.
“Yeah. Now I am,” you said and brought his hands to your face, kissing his knuckles, never leaving his dark orbs that were looking right back at you.
“I planned on texting you in the upcoming weeks.. but I think we can finally make it work, y/n,” Yoongi stated and couldn’t contain his grin as it got wider, showing his gummy smile in its whole glory.
And suddenly you fell in love with him all over again... and way more than ever before. You’re never letting go.

hi!!! can i get a matchup pls??? • im 170cm, very pale, i have a few freckles on my face and i have this mole below my left eye (other ppl look good w it why does mine look like dirt??? 😖), i lean more on the thick side but unfortunately not that thick 😔🤘, my hair is always up on a ponytail!! bc its rlly hot in my country, i only let my hair down at home. oh!! and my hair is shoulder length 🍰
im really quiet at first but when you get close to me i can get rlly loud. not all the time tho, talking too much exhausts me :d i appear as a very boyish person to others so i hide the fact that i like stuff like sanrio, pokemon, star butterfly vs. the forces of evil- ok i gotta stop. i like sending my friends weird memes at 3am. the reaction they give in the morning feeds my soul 👌 🍰
im a multimedia arts student!! i love editing photos and videos so thats what i do a lot on my free time. i write and draw too! but im not confident in it yet. im considered tall in my country so a lot of professors recommend me to be a student athlete, but i h a t e sweating.. i like watching people play tho! (but i almost never cheer even if its my brother or a friend im shy ok iM SORRY) this was hella long :000 i apologize bsbsjsb and thank you in advance!!! ❤ 🍰
Hey! Thank you for your request! I'm sorry it took so long for me to get to. Hope you like it anyways!
I'd ship you with...
Tumblr media
Kuroo Tetsurou!
• I'm gonna assume you are in the class same as Kuroo for this, hope that's okay.
• He was walking with Yaku having another debate about their preferences for girls when he suddenly pointed at you and said "like her!", which caused you to freeze. Kuroo also froze as he realised what he did. He then ran up to you to apologise and explained that he was arguing about preferences and he was saying that you looked attractive. He then awkwardly blushed and jogged off, apologising as he went back to Yaku and the team.
• Honestly you were really shocked about the situation. Like...what just happened? This boy suddenly just came up to you, said you were attractive then left.
• You then saw him and Kenma the next day and he stopped and stared at you for a moment, before going over to you looking slightly flustered. He then said in a slightly nervous voice, "Uhm, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday, but the truth is I have kind of noticed you for a while. You look really pretty and I kind of wanted to talk to you. I noticed as well that you tend to doodle in class and when I glanced over, I thought you drawings were super cute...a-anyways, we don't have volleyball practice after school today, so did you want to go to a café with me later? My treat."
• Kenma quietly judged Kuroo because of how creepy he was being but also because he knew exactly what he was doing.
• You agreed without thinking since the whole situation caught you off guard, and he happily thanked you and walked off, saying he'd come find you after school. Then after he left, you realised what you'd done.
• You waited for him outside the school and he finally caught up with you, but Kenma was also with him. He then took the two of you to a cat café because of course he did and Kenma, who read the mood and realised he was third wheeling, left the two of you alone to talk while he went to play with the cats.
• It was a bit uncomfortable at first, but after Kuroo settled down a little, he became super easy to talk to and was really good at keeping the conversation going, which helped you to relax as well. Before you knew it, the two of you started sharing memes and cackling at them together. You could feel Kenma's judgement from across the room.
• Kuroo asked if he could have your number and you agreed. You sent him a 3am meme hoping he wouldn't get mad, and the next morning he sent you a bunch of messages about how he was wheezing and he couldn't breathe because of how funny the memes were, so you decided to add him to your target list of sending memes. Eventually, Kuroo started to participate as well, sending you memes as well as people on his team. Some found it funny, but others Yaku and Kenma got mad at Kuroo, which only motivated him to do it more. He also started to occasionally send some to your friends as well.
• You were afraid to be more open with Kuroo because you didn't want him to think badly of you because of the less "boyish" things you liked. One day, though, he caught you looking at pictures of Sanrio plushies on your phone, which made you panic. But he just smiled and said, "I like those too," which was really shocking. You assumed he was just trying to be nice, but then he pulled out his keys, which had a Kuromi keychain attached.
• (Apparently, he and Kenma found out about the Sanrio characters when they went to an arcade as kids and they bought each other keychains. Kenma bought Kuromi for Kuroo and Kuroo bought Gudetama for Kenma. Kenma's keychain was attached to the case for his Animal Crossing Switch. He told you to keep this a secret since he knew Kenma would get embarrassed, but it eventually came up in conversation at one point and Kenma showed his keychain.)
• As you and Kuroo got closer, so did you and Kenma. He was really good at noticing when something was off and he'd listen to your concerns. You also realised that you had a lot of common interests and you felt comfortable sharing your hobbies with him and Kuroo. When Kuroo saw the two of you talking comfortably about Pokémon one time, he had a really sincere smile on his face because he was amazed at how well the two of you got along and how you glew when you talked passionately about your hobbies. He fell in love with you a little more.
• You realised one day that you weren't exactly sure what your relationship with Kuroo was. You were friends of course and you'd spend a lot of time together, but you wanted more, you were just afraid to say since you didn't want to ruin what you had. Kenma noticed you seemed to be deep in thought and you told your feelings to him, to which convinced you to confess to Kuroo, saying it would make him happy.
• You nervously said to Kuroo that you'd like to date, and he just kind of froze and then said in a cracked voice "s-sure!" He then apologised for the strange response and then confessed that he'd had feelings for you for a long time, he just didn't know how to tell you. He then kissed your hand and thanked you for confessing, then he ran off to get ready for practice.
• Kuroo seemed to be a little bit more on edge with you now you were dating. When you confronted him about it, he said he wasn't sure how comfortable you were with displays of affection and the reason he was on edge was because he wasn't sure whether he was okay to hold your hand, hug you, kiss you, etc. You let him know what your terms were and he relaxed a little knowing what his boundaries were.
• You were glad Kuroo was taller than you because you loved being able to bury yourself in his chest or shoulder whenever he hugged you. And despite his tough-looking exterior, he really loves cuddling and he's super good at it and showing his affection in soft ways.
• Kuroo really loves watching you draw and edit. He either quietly watches you do it or he sits off to the side and let's you get on with it, maybe looking at you every now and then and smiling at how pretty you look. Either way, he is fine with quietly hanging around when you work and he does his best not to disturb you, but also likes to encourage you to take breaks and cuddles you when you do so you can recharge.
• The first time you let your hair down in front of Kuroo he just...stopped? You got confused because you didn't know why he reacted like that, but he had to turn his head away and cover his face because of how much he was blushing. Even if you don't think highly of yourself, to him you are the most stunning, attractive person ever, both in terms of how you look and your personality.
• Kuroo really appreciate you supporting him during matches, even if you don't go crazy cheering for him. Just knowing you're there is enough for him to feel grateful.
• The club members love you as well. Not only are you Kuroo's weakness which they sometimes like to exploit for entertainment, you also get along with everyone super well. They were so shocked when they saw Kenma talking to you so naturally. They started inviting you out whenever they'd go out as a team since you were practically a part of it now.
• Kuroo is super good at showing how much he loves you, even just through little things. You also make him super happy just by being you. Arguing with Yaku that day was the best thing to ever happen to him.
I was gonna pair you with Yaku but I felt like I was only doing that since I've already done Kuroo as a matchup before, but honestly I think Kuroo is a super good match. Hope you enjoyed this!
Sorry this is so long btw, I am in Kenma and Kuroo loving hours, so this was fun to write! To be honest, I could have written more if I wanted to, but I didn't wanna drag this out too much.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road💜
Ship: Madderton
Word Count: 2693
Summary: Richard always fought with some personal issues and didn’t think about suicide only once. Taron helped him out over and over again until they fell for each other. Together for three years and everything fine for two, Taron doesn’t worry about being away for a week anymore. But when he come home this time he sees Richard fell back in an old habbit.
Additional Tags/Warnings: hurting oneself, angst, mention of suicide, mention of alcohol, mention of blood, pills, razor blades, argument, sad, soft
Tumblr media
There was a time in their lifes when they went through some intense and tough situations together. They were best friends at that time and it seemed obviously to Taron to help his friend when he needed him. Richard fought with some personal issues at that time and didn’t only think about suicide once. Taron was his anchor, his one reason to stay and the only one he listened to at least a bit whenever he was dealing with those dark thoughts in his head. T started to spend more time with him, always trying to cheer him up. The two of them grow so personally attached in the bad times, that they started to fell in love in the good times. Richard was to shy to admit it and he hid it for a long time, even though Taron was honest and told him about his feelings. He feared to destroy the pure soul of T with all his own sorrow and emotional outbursts. But Taron was patient, gave him the time he needed and was really happy when Rich said yes to be in a relationship with him. Richard started to get better, more self-confident and they had to go through suicide situations less and less. They are a couple since three years nowadays and the topic suicide hasn’t been on the table for almost two years now.
“I’m home!” Taron shouts upstairs and slips of his shoes. He just came back from a two days trip in LA where he met with the director of an upcoming project.
Richard appears on top of the stairs wearing Tarons grey jumper. His hair is a natural mess and he looks immensely tired. Rich leans against the balustrade of the stairs and fondles his arms in front of his chest. “Hey babe. How was your flight?”
Taron walks upstairs with his travel bag and laughs. “Oh it was alright. I’m glad I’m back home.” he sighs and stops in front of Richard.
“I’m glad too.” Rich admits and tries to keep a neutral expression on his face. He would be happy that his boyfriend was back and just hide the fact he wasn’t feeling well.
“You’re okay?” Taron asks concerned and tangles their hands for a second. He hears Richard saying yes but his eyes get distracted by something that tells him it’s the other way. There’s a long slightly red scratch on Richards wrist, right beneath the pullover. Taron looks up into the tired blue eyes of his lover and swallows. Did he hurt himself while he was away? Richard pulls him into a tight hug and T can feel him shaking slightly. Rich asks him if he wants to have something to eat and T says yes, excusing himself and getting into the bathroom. Turning the water on he locks the door and opens the bin. He crouches down and sees tissues with dried blood on it and a razor between them. “Okay. Now I know what I’m dealing with.” he says to himself and rubs his face. Taron takes a deep breath and gets up, closing the bin and opening the door. He slowly washes his hands and thinks how he could talk to Rich about it.
Back down in the kitchen he watches Rich carefully, who’s warming up some food for T. They sit down and eat in silence both having their own thoughts. Rich stops eating and stares at the table. “You’re not eating much. Are you sure you are okay?” T asks and gives him another chance to open up.
Richard takes his fork back in the hand and forces a smile. “I’m alright, just not that hungry.” he forces himself to put something in his mouth and tries not to look like he could throw up. The sleeve of the grey jumper slips back down and T swallows hard. There are several cut marks at the wrist of Rich.
Taron stops eating and refills his glass. “I’m your boyfriend, right?” he starts the conversation carefully.
“Did you hit your head and forgot something? Google us two then you see it.” Richard jokes and lies his fork down. Taron raises his eyebrows. “Yes! What kinda question is that, T?” he laughs and shakes his head in amusement but also slight irritation.
Taron picks up his glass and takes a gulp of water. He thinks shortly before going on. “And you know you can tell me everything, am I right?”
Richard leans back in his seat and pulls the sleeve of Tarons pullover as low as possible. A little gesture that can’t be hidden from T’s observant eyes. “Yes.” he simply says and bites his lower lip. There’s a frosty atmosphere in the room and Rich feels himself getting nervous.
“Good.” Taron says and starts eating again watching him closely. Come on Rich, I don’t wanna pull everything out of your nose. “So, is there something you wanna tell me?” T asks calmly shrugging his shoulders and finishes his food.
“Why don’t you just tell me what’s going through your head?” Rich says and stares at the table avoiding the look of his boyfriend. His fingers starts tapping a rhythm on the table.
Taron lies his fork aside and rubs his face. Okay, Rich wouldn’t be easy to talk to today. “Why didn’t you tell me you’re feeling worse?” he asks lowvoiced and sees how Rich flinches a bit.
Richard gulps and collects all his strength. He looks straight into the eyes of his boyfriend. “Because I am feeling absolutely fine.” he lies with a strong voice. How stupid must he look right now?
“Oh my bad, it was an accident in the kitchen.” Taron speaks and watches him closely, his eyebrows slightly raised. If he didn’t open up the normal way he had to tease him a bit.
Richard stands up abruptly and takes his plate. “I really don’t know what you’re talking about.” He walks over to Taron and takes his plate.
T grabs his arm and pulls up the sleeve, revealing the dark cuts on his wrist. “Don’t lie to me, you know I hate that.” he whispers and looks up at him.
Richard slamms his plate back on the table and pulls the sleeve back down. “Those are old ones.” he mumbles and tries to stay calm. Shit, that wasn’t the way he planned this evening.
Taron stands up quickly and puts his plate into the dishwasher. “You do realize that I am your boyfriend and due to the fact I know your body like my own I know those aren’t old ones.” And the razor and tissues, he think to himself. Richard stands still and watches him biting his lip nervously. What should he say now? Of course T would notice. “You never did it on your wrist, you were to scared because of filming.” Taron says lowvoiced and turns towards him again.
“I’m sorry is the place a problem now? I’ll do it on my throat the next time!” Rich bursts out madly and his eyes fill with tears. His lips are trembling heavily.
“What?” Taron asks shocked and stares at him speechless. “I - I didn’t mean that!” he rambles.
Rich shrugs his shoulders and tries to hold back his tears. “I know.” he mumbles and doesn’t dare to look at him.
Taron braces himself on the kitchen table and tries to sort his thoughts. Richard starts sobbing quietly and stands still trying to stop. He covers the cut marks with his hand and stares at the floor. Tarons heart breaks at this sight and his eyes start to water. “What happened while I was away?” he asks and tries to control his shaking voice.
“I got lonely and - and then this thoughts came back. I didn’t want to do it I swear!” his voice cracks and he starts breathing fast. “It felt good, but only shortly. I-I’m sorry, T.” Rich is shaking and sobs uncontrollable. Big tears are dropping onto the jumper and T fights with his own tears. “Then I stood in the bathroom and I just hated my reflection in the mirror. I hate it, T.” Taron looks at him sad. He knows Rich has some insecurities but it hurts him hearing it. In his eyes Richard was amazing on the inside and outside and there was nothing he wanted more than to let him see that. Richard takes a step forward but then stops hesitantly. “Can I-?” he says and interrupts himself again. “I feel like falling apart lately.” Rich admits and bites on his lips trying to stop the sounds coming out. “Can you just hold me a bit?” His questions is barely audible.
Tarons throat tightens and single tears fall down his cheeks. He wipes them away immediately knowing that it would upset Rich even more. “Come here.” he whispers and opens his arms, pulling his boyfriend in a safe embrace. Richard buries his face in his neck and holds him tight. “It’s okay.” he says and rubs his back trying to calm him down.
“Please don’t be mad at me.” Rich whines silently.
“I’m not mad at you. But you should have called me.” T says and starts running his fingers through Richards soft hair. He places soft kisses on Richs head, trying to calm himself down. His boyfriend needed his full strength now so he could lean on him.
“I don’t wanna die, T.” Rich whispers and holds him closer. Taron was his safe place and he knew it wasn’t right to place everything on his shoulders. It wasn’t right to make him suffer too and drag him down with him. “I just had a couple of bad days.”
“Shh, you’re safe here with me.” T takes a deep breath and starts biting his lower lip. “Rich?” Richard hums in response not letting go of Taron. “Why don’t you show me all the possibilities you kept yourself open the last days?” he rubs over Richards back slightly. It was an old ritual they made up whenever Rich was in this emotional state.
Richard holds his hands while he brings him to the bathroom and shows him the rest of the razors. Taron takes them into his free hand without saying a word. They walk over to the bed and Rich opens the little drawer of his bedside table. There are the sleeping pills he takes whenever Taron wasn’t with him and cuddled him into a deep sleep. Next to it is a bottle of alcohol. T lets go of his hand and takes both out.
“Anything else?” Taron asks and looks at him. Richard shakes his head and new tears fill his eyes. “I’ll be back in a minute.” T takes the things with him and throws them into a bag which he hides in his own suitcase. When he comes back upstairs Rich stands still there where he left him and tears are streaming down his face again. “It’s okay. We’re gonna do this together.” T assures and walks over to him. Taking Richards hand into his he softly fondles over the cut marks with his thumb. Rich just falls into his arms and holds him tight. He breathes in the sweet scent of Taron and tries to calm down. They stand there for a while just holding each other. “You wanna get some fresh air?”
They are sitting on the balcony and T comforts Rich in his arms. It’s a cold evening and T shivers slightly because of the cold but he stays. Suddenly Rich stands up and sits on the balustrade.
“Rich?” Taron asks worried and stands up slowly. What was he doing now?
“You know, I could just let myself fall down there.” Richard looks at him kinda curiously. He bounces forth and back and looks down into their little garden in front of the house.
“Stop that, you’re fucking scaring me right now.” Taron says seriously and his eyes wide when Rich stops holding himself with his hands. Jumping forward he grabs Richards arms and pulls him down from the balustrade and inside on safe ground. “Don’t you ever do that again!” Taron shouts upset.
“As if somebody would care.” Rich groans and sits down on their bed. Lying down he stares at the ceiling.
Taron is closing the door to the balcony and stops in his movement. “What did you just say?” he asks lowvoiced and there’s something dangerous in his voice, Rich never heard before. There’s a frosty silence between them for a few seconds before Taron turns around towards him. “Am I, as your boyfriend, not enough to show you you are loved and cared about?”
Richard sits up again and looks at him with an unimpressed face. “Please don’t make a scene now.”
Taron feels himself getting angry and sad. His heart broke into little pieces when Rich said nobody would care. He knows exactly that Richard is in a emotional state where he feels like that and it would pass. But it hit him hard to hear that words coming out of his boyfriends mouth. “I love you so fucking much, Rich. That’s not fair.”
Rich jumps up with a mad look on his face. “I love you more than my own life.”
“That isn’t to difficult for someone who wants to be dead!” Taron bursts out and feels tears burning in his eyes. Richards jaw drops down and shock settles in his face. Taron slowly realizes what he just said and swallows hard. “I’m sorry! That was the biggest bullshit I’ve ever said.” Taron rambles and rubs his face. Calm down, you idiot! You’re only gonna make it worse.
Richard takes a sharp breath and nods slowly. “It’s okay, I deserved that.”
“No you didn’t.” Taron groans and falls down into an arm chair heavily. He burries his face in his hands and tries to sort his thoughts. How could he help Rich the best way? It just became so different with being a couple. Trying to hold back his tears and all the anger he takes deep breaths. Suddenly he feels Richs fingers lifting up his chin. He removes his hands from his face and stares into the deep blue sea, in Richards eyes.
Rich crouches down in front of him and rests his chin on Tarons knee. “I didn’t want to upset you.” he whispers and looks up to him.
Taron shakes his head and starts fondling over Richards soft hair. “It’s my job to support you.” he whispers back. “You and me against the world, just like in old times.” he bites his lip and sees Richards eyes filling with tears. His fingers softly stroke over his cheeks before tangling with Richards. T leans forward and kisses him on the forehead. “What do you need baby?” he asks lowvoiced.
“Just any love you can give.” Rich says barely beyond a whisper and a tear escapes his eye.
Taron presses his lips together, moved by this surprising plea. He stands up and pulls Rich after him walking towards their bed. They lie down and Taron takes him in his arms. Rich cuddles into him and feels his mind calming. Running his fingers through his hair, over his back and cheeks, he places long kisses on his forehead.
“I’m scared of it.” Richard admits after a while and holds him close.
“We’re gonna get through it, okay? We did this before and we gonna do it again. I’m here, baby.” Taron assures and gently rubs his back.
Richard sits up and looks down at him. Their red puffy eyes meet and they both smile a bit. Rich leans in and gives Taron a kiss. “Thank you my love.” he whispers and smiles.
Taron sits up too. “There’s nothing to thank me for.” he says and cups Richards face, his thumbs rubbing soft circles on his cheeks.
“You know that’s a lie.” Rich chuckles and kisses T again, long and sweet. He looks into Tarons beautiful eyes and feels himself getting calm. Everything would be okay, he was at his safe place. His anchor would save him from drowning once more.
