a ghosts graves
In the aftermath of a battle, Phantom, Batman, and Superman could be see talking between each other. 
During a lull in the conversation a tiny girl comes running from underneath caution tape taped around the vicinity, holding a bouquet of marigolds between her small hands. She’s out of breath and seems to be embarrassed when she stands before the heroes, Batman reacts the quickest to the sudden encounter. Asking her about why shes here and what the problem is, he’s about to ask about her parents when she interrupts with “i have something for mister Phantom”. 
Danny who had been only half listening was caught off guard, he looks at her and tries for a reassuring smile but his confusion must show through because she suddenly looks down shyly at her flowers. 
“I heard from mommy that you put flowers on graves for people you like, ” she starts, “i don't know where yours is though, so i got you flowers to put it wherever it is”. She’s obviously embarrassed about interrupting, but she says the words with a form of determination. Suddenly what seems to be her mother comes running from out of the crowd. 
“I am so, so, sorry for Miya, i didn't mean to loose sight of her, she slipped away, we’ll get out of your hair now. ” the woman says in a rush, gently tugging the child back from the slack jawed heroes. Danny can just make out her gently reprimanding the child for her behaviour when he suddenly steps forward. “Wait, wait, wait” he says quickly, crouching down to the child now hiding a bit behind the mother, “you got me flowers. . . so i can put them on my grave?” the tiny nod he gets from that has him smiling, “you wanted to put flowers on my grave?” is asked with excitement, gaining n even bigger nod in return. 
He takes a small step forward, still crouched, and asks “are you alright with me hugging you?”, the nod lets him quickly move forward a spin the child around in a tight hug, laughing. He smiles brightly at the girl, holding her in his arms with enough space to make sure the flowers were safe, who is smiling back just as brightly. Danny laughs, “no ones ever given me flowers before! And you want them on my grave!” the actions have gained the attention of both civilians and other heroes, Danny could honestly care less though, someone wants to put flowers on his grave! Someone went through the effort of giving him flowers! He is so excited!
Both the mother, Superman, and Batman all look uncomfortable, “have you. . . never gotten. . ahem. . Flowers before?” Superman asks, “i mean, you look young so. . . have your parents never. . . ?”, the ending never gets finished but its definitely implied what he wants to really ask. Danny doesn't care, its not exactly important, right?
He looks at the heroes and says cheerily “i don't think my parents even know im dead!” before looking back at the child in his arms, not seeing all the shocked, pale faced staring( minus Batman, he never emotes, like, at all). 
Eventually the kid has to leave due to dangerousness of the area, but not before a final hug and happy goodbye from Phantom after she hands the flowers to the undead hero. Danny says his goodbyes to the surrounding heroes, not understanding why they all look at him funny as he carries around the marigold bouquet before he flies off. He holds the flowers close to makes sure they dont get destroyed by the wind, but he cant help a few happy loops and twirls in his flight home. 
The first ever flowers for his grave, how exciting!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ever since then the heroes and a few civilians make sure to give Phantom flowers each time they see him for his grave. Phantom is so excited people want to give him flowers each time a new set is given to him.

stray kids x ninth member!reader (platonic)
genre: fluff
content warnings: none
word count: 0.8k
summary: y/n is surprised when the boys turn up at her album debut shoot, and they reassure her on her worries about her new daring look
Hope you have a wonderful day too my lovely! Enjoy! <3
MAIN MASTERLIST
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Hi Stays! We're taking photos for my album shoot, 'Flora', where I've already released my single 'Salvia'," Y/N beamed at the camera, hair and makeup ready yet she hadn't gotten changed into the gorgeous yellow gown she was due to wear.
"I feel a bit nervous to wear this dress because it's kind of... sexy? But not hard sexy... like soft sexy?" Y/N scratched her head, thinking back on Hyunjin's words and changing it up as she said the phrase in English.
"But stylists unnies said it's pretty so I'm going to try it on now!"
Tumblr media
"Annyeong Stay!" Felix waved at the camera, the rest of the group walking behind him as they entered the studio where Y/N was having her photoshoot.
"Today we're surprising Y/N at her photoshoot!" Seungmin cheered.
"And we bought her flowers to support her!" Han said, peering his head round into the camera, which then panned to them all carrying a bouquet each of flowers, ranging from roses to marigolds and even some sunflowers which Changbin was holding onto in the crook of his arm.
How do you think Y/N will react?
"I think she'll be happy," Chan smiled as the cameraman asked the question and moved further back in his steps to ask some of the other boys some questions.
"She'll probably cry," Lee Know laughed.
Tumblr media
Great job, Y/N, take a break!
"Ah Stay, I feel so revealed right now," Y/N laughed as she spoke to the camera, opening her dressing room door, ready to grab a blanket, before 8 men were shouting and cheering for her.
"Y/N!!!" they cheered, some gasping as they took in her gorgeous, elegant appearance.
"Ooh, you look hot," Hyunjin winked at her.
"Whoa," Seungmin stood there, for once losing his normally well kept composure.
"This is the most revealing outfit I've ever seen you wear," Jisung gasped, but he couldn't look away.
"I know, I know, it feels so strange!" Y/N nodded along, eyes quickly scanning the room before fixating onto a blanket and wrapping it around her to cover her chest area.
"You really do look beautiful, Y/Nnie," Changbin warmly said.
"How did you get the confidence to pull this off? We've never seen you dressed like this before, wow!" Chan shook his head, giggling lightly.
"Tell me about it! Stylist unnies insisted so I thought I'd try, and, yeah, I don't know," Y/N shrugged and sat down next to Jeongin, leaning her head on his shoulder as she crossed her legs over.
Y/N, we need you back now for some more photos.
"Oh, we bought you some flowers to have in your shoot! I think the staff have just arranged them all!" Felix clapped his hands together excitedly, as Lee Know helped you up to your feet, folding up the blanket to the side.
"Stoppp! You guys are the sweetest, I have the best members," Y/N gushed, looking around at all of them and grinning.
"It's what you deserve, we're so proud of you for working so hard," Changbin beamed at her. He went to pat her head before changing his mind at her styled her and patting her shoulders instead.
Tumblr media
"I can't believe you were shy to do this at first. You look like a model!" Han praised her as the shoot finished up.
"I actually really like it now, haha," Y/N did a cute little spin in her dress, though she did nearly trip up on all of the fabric.
"Careful!" Chan's eyes widened.
"Not quite used to these heels yet haha," Y/N blushed as she then took them off, deciding she didn't need to risk her or anyone elses lives.
"I bet you'll be on magazine covers too, these photos are... just wow!" Hyunjin ushered her to run over, his eyes fixated on the smaller screen where a crew member was flicking through the photos.
"This solo debut, wahhh it's going to be so hot!" Jeongin fanned his face.
"Oh wow, I love it!!!" Y/N did a little jump, hand covering her chest as she knelt down next to the two.
"Here, take this," Seungmin handed her his hoodie, which she instantly planted over her head.
"Thanks Minnie," Y/N said, her head tilted backwards, a cute smile on her face, and a slightly crazy look in her eyes which made Seungmin giggle and walk away.
Tumblr media
"Bye Stay! We're all heading home now. I've had such a good day with the members surprising me! I hope you enjoy the album once it comes out! Love you Stays!" Y/N blew a kiss to the camera in the back of the car, before Han was snatching it and mockingly doing the same thing.
"Yah!"

Marigold | ateez x reader
Tumblr media
Pairing: college!ateez x college!reader
Genre: college, slice of life, romance, poly
Word Count: 1251 words
Summary: After your friend ditches you to become roommates with a rich group of kids in order to live in the Magnolia Apartments, you find yourself alone for your master's program. Never fear though, a long-lost friend has a room available and eight new faces might just make it much more memorable. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You weren't mad, just disappointed.
Your friend sat across from you, looking around everywhere but at you while you stared at her with an unamused expression as you took a long sip of your drink.
To be frank, you were a very understanding person. If she didn't want to be roommates then all she had to do was say so. Instead, she tiptoed around with another group of individuals who for some reason, did not like the best bone in your body. In your mind, you could only imagine the conversations she may have taken part in about you. 
The group was none other than an obnoxious bunch of former acquaintances who belonged to a particular tax bracket which afforded them the luxury of being able to live in the Magnolia apartment complex — the most prestigious residence near your university.
The property was a newly constructed, high-rise towering skyscraper with a shiny contemporary design. It was modelled out of excessive but opulent marble and ostentatious gold-plated fixtures, and was sprawled across a large-scale acreage with towering columns and numerous balconies overlooking the city. The entrance was beautifully decorated with a manicured garden and had an imposing entryway that was the epitome of an exclusive lifestyle that only some could afford. 
And you had a little secret…you were part of the some that could afford to live there. But you preferred not to and so, you never told your friend and hoped you would never have to.
But now here you are. You were going to end your friendship with her because you knew there was no way they would let her in if she only said nice things about you. And your friend wasn’t the most loyal person when it came to friendships.
"You should've just told me," you remarked, "It's not a big deal if you don't want to share a space."
"Well…” she answered, “I didn't know how you would react. After all, you lied about being able to afford staying there anyway." 
You grimaced and shook your head. There it was. 
"I admit I did lie, but what's the big deal staying there anyway? Does it matter where we stay? The master’s program is just two-years long."
"Yes! We had an opportunity to stay in the Magnolia apartments! Why wouldn't you want that??" 
"It's just an apartment building - luxurious and beautiful, sure, but it's not the end of the world if we don't."
"It is to me. I always wanted to stay there ever since they finished it and you knew that. And yet, you never decided to tell me that we could stay there."
"For good reason. I'm sorry for not telling you but it's not something I wanted to talk about."
"Am I not your friend?? Literally, how could you be so selfish?"
You scrutinised her with a blank expression. Selfish, a very interesting word choice coming from her. It was quite ironic that the embodiment of selfishness was calling you selfish. You planned on walking away from this calmly but that was no longer possible.
"Here's the thing," you vocalised, sipping your drink, "You could afford to stay there, can't you? But your parents refused because you selfishly and greedily usurped your trust fund to ridiculously splurge and waste it on unnecessary things. And then, you took, no, stole your brother's rainy day savings, to pay back the credit card debt you owed because your parents refused to pay for it. So now, you expect someone to pick up the pieces and help you out in maintaining your rich image, and you expect it to be me because I'm your friend?"
Your friend stayed quiet as you hit her with the harsh truth.
"That's all you ever expected from me. And the only reason why I agreed for us to be roommates was because your parents begged my mom since they can't trust you to not do stupid things."
"What are you trying—"
"What I'm trying to say is,” you interrupted, “You messed up your own opportunity at staying in the Magnolia on your own. You’re lucky your parents even considered paying your tuition. I have no interest in staying there and I won't be, and since you decided to become buddy-buddy with the most annoying group in this whole university, go along and join them, just remember don't come to me when they toss you to the side of the curb."
You got up from your seat and paid only for your drinks. 
"Have a nice life." You announced dryly before walking away.
-
It had been a few days since the confrontation and you spent most of the time touring apartments. Your mom mentioned that your friend had already moved into the Magnolia with the group the day after you two had it out.
You weren't surprised to say the least.
But you were surprised by the lack of apartment complexes near university. Some were...concerning to say the least, and any promising ones were about a 15-20 minute walk to campus. You weighed your options and considered the good cardio you could get out of it. But the idea of walking during the blistering sunny days and the colder months made it unappealing very quickly.
However, just when you thought all hope was lost, your saving grace in the form of an old school friend walked through the café door one Friday afternoon.
While mindlessly circling possible apartments at the back of the café, you didn't notice a tall figure approaching you.
"Y/N?"
You jumped in surprise at the voice.
"Song?"
Lucas Song was a longtime friend from high school who shared the same computer period as you and was your partner in every assignment. He is trustworthy and dependable, and moved cities to pursue a course in Computer Studies which the university didn’t offer.
“It’s been a long time! How are you?”
As you engaged in small-talk, you happened to mention your current situation on a whim, not thinking much of it as you conversed. Immediately, Lucas happily jumped at the idea of showing you a room in his parents' apartment complex the Marigold.
The Marigold didn't compete with the Magnolia, it was an older complex that had been around for the last 15 years and was once known as the cosy, homely safe haven near campus. You completely forgot about its existence because its structure was compact and slightly-worn down, with the paint peeling slightly and the bleak garden of wilting roses and hydrangeas making it easy to pass straight. Not to mention, it always looked like it was under construction with huge piles of sand and gravel, and numerous bags of cement scattered nearby the entrance.
But you trusted Lucas and agreed to a viewing. And it was probably the best decision you made because you were mesmerised by the beautiful interior. The rooms were cosy, quaint and efficient with a communal living room area. Lucas conveyed that you would have to share the kitchen and living room with a few others. You weren’t opposed to it so promptly, you signed the lease. 
But maybe you should have asked about your other roommates and how many of them there were. 
Because on moving day, as you strolled in with your luggage into the living room, you were abruptly greeted by eight persons - all boys, some of them with their hair dishevelled and only in their underwear...while the others were covered in flour gaping at you with a shocked expression.

𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 ,
𝒆𝒙𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝒈𝒐𝒍𝒅 ー 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒚 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒏 .
ーー
Tldr I hc that midas is the reincarnation of king midas from greek mythology, except he came back with more control over his power and hadn't died from starvation as it makes no sense, though he does turn his daughter to gold and starts despising deities ( mainly dionysus ) as he had tricked him.
I also hc that as he came back and got married, his wife eventually wished for him to abandon his life of crime to take care of their daughter who was just born, but midas disagrees and says it's just too difficult, they keep fighting about it until the wife sends an ultimatum, he gets mad abt it, she chooses to leave and take Jules, he panics and reaches for her, except as a trauma response his body reacts just as it did when he lost Marigold the first time, and he turns his wife to gold. He ends up telling jules, once she grows up, that her mom left without a word, and he eventually just learns to control his powers a lot better. But imo, he doesn't know that there was another catch to his curse, which is, that it is directly linked to light and his sight. The less light there is ( as well as consciousness ), the less he is able to turn things to gold. As in, if he were to be put in a dark room and he can't see anything, then nothing will turn to gold and he can't turn himself to gold either
I also think that another thing to his curse is, even if he were to lose his hand, as long as he can "touch" something, then he can still use his power, as in, even if he were wearing a gauntlet or prosthetic, he could still use his powers

xdinary heroes reaction to receiving flowers
genre: fluff
pairing: reader (mostly gn) x all members
about/tags: xdh reacts to you buying or giving them flowers
established relationship, bullet point reactions, lowercase is intentional, this is my first work for xdinary heroes, afab for gunil's, i had to google what each flower represented, sorry for inaccuracies, dedicated to requester @snowflakemoon3
Tumblr media
⠀⠀ gunil ⠀⠀
gunil is a whiner
so one day when he complains that "don't you think it's kinda misandrist that only women get flowers most of the time"
you think that's a direct jab at you because he does in fact, get you flowers all the time
on your next date you order sunflowers for him
it arrives via delivery and when he opens the door, he kinda smirks
"finally, i'm being appreciated around here" (jokingly)
he places the flowers in the vase you usually use
later on you find out he saved the petals of the sunflower in a ziploc bag
you teach him how to press and dry flowers for preservation
when he sees your collection of dried flowers from all those times he gifted you, he's so touched
looks at you like you're his whole world as you continue to demonstrate how to do it
⠀⠀ jungsu ⠀⠀
jungsu talks about getting plants for his room all the time but never actually does
so you bought him a pretty orchid to place on his windowsill
he loves it and takes care of it really well
he once read that plants have feelings
so he spoke to the orchid every night, pretending like the both of you were its parents
one day you caught him singing to it
"since when did you start giving private concerts to the plant, jungsu?"
"shut up. water your child, it's dying"
and you're just like??? but you do it anyways
taking care of orchids together become your shared hobby
years down the line, jungsu makes sure the flowers at your wedding are orchids
⠀⠀ gaon ⠀⠀
you were on a picnic date at a meadow
gaon made all this effort to set the date up, even making (which you start to suspect that he actually just bought) all the food you were currently eating
you felt kinda bad, as you didn't prepare anything (well to be fair this date was a surprise)
so while he was setting up the picnic basket earlier, you took the liberty to venture
you found a small wildflower bed full of marigolds and daises
you gathered the brightest and prettiest ones, the ones that best resemble gaon
so when you tell him "close your eyes I have a surprise for you"
and he opens them he's genuinely surprised that it's flowers
his heart goes like awwwww
but ngl he thought you were gonna plant a kiss on his lips
"I can do that as well, jiseok"
he got the kisses and the flowers, it's a happy day for him
⠀⠀ o.de ⠀⠀
"are those flowers?"
he stares at the meal your prepared him, edible flowers prettily arranged on top
you spent the whole day cooking for your date and bought edible flowers to decorate the salads
he's in awe because he's never tried it before
neither have you, so you're hoping it tastes okay
when you both sit down and take your first bites
seungmin says "babe is it me or it just tastes like plants"
"i sure hope so, because it is indeed, a plant"
"right".
you both just sorta stare at each other then laugh
he reaches for your hand across the table to bring it to his lips
"thank you for the meal babe, i love it"
he kisses your hand with such sincerity you want to cry
⠀⠀ junhan ⠀⠀
there was an old lady selling the last of her roses for the day by your university
they weren't anything particularly special, but they were individually wrapped so prettily you couldn't resist
she told you they'd wilt soon, so she's giving them at half the price to students
you decided to buy a red rose to give to junhan
as you stopped by his dorms, you found him strumming on his guitar
you jokingly threw the flower at him and said "bravo, encore encore!"
he picks up the flower and puts it in between his lips and bows, going along with the bit
you both laugh at each others' antics
junhan is goofier since you came along
⠀⠀ jooyeon ⠀⠀
jooyeon has received flowers from someone he personally knew in his life exactly 3 times
when he graduated high school, his debut showcase, and his first concert (all came from his parents btw)
so when you visit him in the inkigayo green room with a bouquet of brightly colored carnations he doesn't even think that those are for him
"huh, who gave those to you?"
"it's for you, jooyeon...."
and he's all confused like "what, why?"
and you're also confused as to why he's confused like? "congrats on your comeback and new mini-album?"
jooyeon takes the bouquet and smiles at the message you wrote
"to my favorite rockstar, jooyeon"
every time he made a comeback or released a new single, you would send him different flowers
in return, he places a kiss on your forehead
Tumblr media
A/N: when i got this request i knew i just had to use the gaon flower pictures!!
btw to those that don't know, i take requests for other groups including nct, svt, xdh and of course zb1

Hello!
I was wondering if you can do a headcanon on any lackadaisy cat and how they would react to a hairless cat reader.
Thank you!
I did a handful of characters (romance, sorry if you wanted platonic) for this, so I suppose a bit more quantity over quality this time. Ideally, it's still relatively ok. If there's one that I miss and people want them, I'd be happy to do a part 2. Hope y'all enjoy!
Various(Lackadaisy) x HairlessCat!Reader
(Note:this has one of my personal headcanons that, similar to Stardew Valley players, Ivy just collects people, learns everything about them and moves on.)
Mordecai Heller
• Mordecai is a very analytical tomcat, and you being without fur is certainly... analyzed.
• You're just a regular at the Marigold who stands out to him for your appearance, and definitely no other reason.
• It's not because of the way the lighting makes your bared skin look heavenly, nor is it because of how easily he can see the way you blush around him.
• Yeah, he's in denial about it, that's for sure, but a gentle nudge in the right way and boom, he melts like butter on a hot pan for you.
• In private, of course. He has a reputation to maintain.
• Though, he definitely doesn't mind silently adoring you from across the Marigold.
• And if anyone so much as maliciously looks at you because you're different, well, Mordecai is very good at hiding both his feelings and the nondescript adult sized bags he "takes care of."
Rocky Rickaby
• Imagine if you will, being a god/goddess. People throw themselves at your feet, and want nothing more than to sing your praises until the end of days.
• That's how Rocky sees you.
• To Rocky, seeing you is like Romeo seeing Juliet. There isn't a better phrase to describe it than utter adoration.
• Unlike Mordecai though, Rocky's love for you is no secret.
• In fact, if you let him, he will go on for hours about how beautiful you are, building shrines to you with rhymes and prose, as well as painting you as heaven-sent bliss with the saccharine notes of his sweet symphonies.
• Yeah, there's no better way to put it, he's smitten.
• He also really likes the way it feels when you hug.
Ivy Pepper
• Ivy has a tendency to "collect" people.
• It's something she isn't super aware of, but it definitely affects your first couple of interactions.
• Ivy is totally entranced by you, and while at the beginning it's mostly just because of your lack of fur, it begins to become more and more about you as a person.
• She gets ahead of herself. A lot. And you definitely need to ground her sometimes.
• Yet despite it all Ivy genuinely adores, in a way that's not her finding interesting people, getting to know them, and then just moving on.
• It's not luck, by the way. Ivy genuinely loves you that much, because you are just that amazing.
Calvin "Freckle" McMurray
• On a more comedic note, Freckle is the one to make sure that all your needs are accounted for, even if it means being a bit overprepared.
• It's not that he's wilfully ignorant or dumb, he just needs a gentle reminder every once in awhile.
• The sunscreen and extra layers when it's cold out is very sweet of him though.
• Freckle's similar to Rocky in that he absolutely adores you, treating you like an angel sent from above, even if that is a bit sacrilegious.
• Unlike Rocky, he's not overtly affectionate, aside from packing things you may need because, well, no fur.
• Instead Freckle hangs off your every word, silently appreciating you. Just being in your company is just... amazing to him.
• Also, since he's usually worried about you being cold, you get the perfect excuse for cuddles too ;3.

In the spirit of Valentines Day, I come bearing headcanons. Specifically, the mercs favorite flowers, plus how they'd react to getting said flower as a gift! Also, bonus Miss Pauling because I like her too.
————————————————————
Demo- Buttercups
Tumblr media
I'd like to think that when Demo was younger, he lived in a house near a field that had wildflowers. Like he could look out his window and just see flowers, and out of all of them, he found himself being drawn to buttercups. I think yellow is his favorite color, so he was naturally drawn to them based off color but something else draws him to them that he can't describe.
He will cry if he gets a bunch of these. He knows that buttercups aren't a traditional flower to get in a bouquet which means, the person giving him them had to, not only remember whatever one off drunken comment Demo made about his favorite flower, but also had to go out and spend time picking flowers for him.
————————————————————
Engie- Hyacinths
Tumblr media
I think he’d be a big fan of hyacinths because they were his mom’s favorite flower and now, seeing them reminds him of her. He may have not had a great home life growing up, but something about seeing small things to remind him of his old home does make him very happy. He likes blue hyacinth more than any other, which do represent loyalty and patience, so that’s fun!
If he receives flowers he’s immediately a little pink, the whole, “Aw, you shouldn’t have.” schtick, he is very happy to have received any gift at all. Not happy about how out of the way this must have been, but knows better than to argue when presented with a gift. He likes how they, at least a little bit, brighten up his work space. 
————————————————————
Heavy- Marigolds
Tumblr media
I genuinely think he just really likes how they look. No deeper meaning. He just thinks that they are one of the prettiest flowers he’s ever seen, and he adores them. I think he really just likes flowers in general, and it’s hard for him to pick a favorite. This man just appreciates the beauty of the world! I think he is a little drawn to the color and shape, he thinks it's such an interesting flower. Something about it is unique in a mundane way. I also just think he’s read a lot of books on flowers and plants and has always been drawn to them.
If he got flowers as a gift he would be very appreciative. I think at first he wouldn’t really realize someone put the effort into buying him his favorite flowers. I like to think that his sisters would pick wildflowers for him when he was younger and he would always be appreciative of the “Thank you for thinking of me, this is the eight time this week you brought these, where are you finding these.” type of way, so he’s conditioned to feel that way at the sight of flowers as a gift, but is genuinely very happy when he realizes that someone remembered his favorite flower and bought them for him, small things mean a lot to him.
————————————————————
Medic- Chrysanthemums
Tumblr media
Similar to Heavy, he is also a big fan of plants and flowers! I think he definitely minored in botany at one point after developing an interest. I think he actually grew to love chrysanthemums specifically because when he was going to college, he found that there was a small patch outside his dorm window, and he would occasionally watch the flowers moving, the life around them just living. He used watching the flowers as a break, a distraction, so his mind just associated them with good times.
He is posed with a… situation. He appreciates the gesture immensely! But… he does have birds, and as smart as the birds may be, they are still a little stupid, and he would prefer his plants NOT to be eaten. Also, he can’t risk coating his gift in blood, despite how much he loves the stuff, he knows that a blood bath probably isn’t the best for flowers. Fret not, however! He most likely keeps them in his room, or in a common area. He is very meticulous in caring for them, if he puts them out, the gift giver may see him watering and caring for the flower as often as he can between his other work. Maybe a bit more stress than originally worth it, but he definitely appreciates the effort!
————————————————————
Scout- Roses
Tumblr media
Scout is a fan of roses, like his mother actually. He isn't aware of the symbolism of the color of roses though, he just always knew orange was his favorite color for roses, for some reason. It's just interesting that orange roses can represent energy and pride.
If he finds himself on the reviving end of these roses, he will get very defensive. He totally doesn't like them, why would you get him these, he doesn't want them, no, no no wait don't take them back- He keeps those flowers around until they rot, and even then he doesn't want to give them up, he loves the gesture.
————————————————————
Sniper- Tiger Lilies
Tumblr media
Sniper likes flowers well enough. He’s more of an animal fan than anything, but he can appreciate the beauty of nature in all forms. I wouldn’t say tiger lilies are 100% without a doubt his favorite, I think he just likes seeing them a bit more than others. They represent prosperity and positivity, and he’s fine with having a little bit more of that in his life at any given time. Might give a half smile at the sight of one,
Hey, no, no no no, HE is the gift giver! Very uncomfortable receiving gifts. He’s appreciative, yes, but it;s just very hard for him to express that! People remembering things about him is very…new. He’s already very quiet and reserved, so the fact that someone managed to remember something so insignificant (in his mind) is confusing, but not entirely unwelcomed. He’s not very good with plants, so hopefully the gift giver won’t take offense to the fact that they might already be wilting by the next day.
————————————————————
Spy- Lily of the valley
Tumblr media
A mix of a few things makes this Spy's favorite flower. I think Spy became attached to them after receiving them a couple of times. He attaches to them because any time he's given a gift, it changes a little part of his brain. Also!! Lily of the vally are symbolic of rebirth, and maybe Spy has always been ready for change.
If you managed to find out his favorite flower, you are instantly a threat (/hj) Spy does NOT like people knowing about things he likes, nor does he like them being “used against him” (<- having to feel an emotion one time), He’ll take them with the promise of not keeping them, so your money was a waste and you’re stupid for even doing this- he keeps them in his room along with the other plants he keeps. He loves the gift, like Scout, would rather die than admit that.
————————————————————
Soldier- Forget Me Nots
Tumblr media
Calling these his favorite flower is almost a stretch, I don't think he particularly cares for flowers. I just don't think he really pays attention. But if he finds himself sitting on the ground, most likely with Demo, his eyes will be more focused on these than anything else.
If given as a gift, he doesn't really understand what the sentimental value is supposed to be, but he is grateful for the present. He most likely keeps them on his nightstand or somewhere where he can see them regularly. He enjoys looking at them and reminds him he's being thought of.
————————————————————
Pyro- Daisy
Tumblr media
If given as a gift, immediately joy! They will definitely reciprocate with flower crowns made from the daisies. Just enough for it and the gift giver to have matching ones. They definitely like being given flowers to make crowns with, but much like Soldier, probably doesn't exactly understand the sentimental value of someone remembering/gifting it's favorite flower
It adores daisies! Something so simple but so beautiful makes them really happy. It really enjoys them and definitely always has some laying around either in a vace or just lying around. Gives them in all forms as gifts regularly, either by leaving them in the places each other merc is at the most, or by giving them it directly.
————————————————————
Miss Pauling- Lilac
Tumblr media
Probably not the most original, but whatever! I think her favorite time of the year is a mix between spring and summer already, and when it's just getting hot enough to have warm, breezes and flowers blooming, she KNOWS lilacs are going to come out and she is so excited!! She loves the smell more than anything, the sights are also beautiful and make her very happy.
She never really gets flowers as a gift, who would have guessed, but she is overjoyed if someone gets her a bouquet of lilacs. Something about people remembering her favorite flower makes her feel... cared for and just a little less stressed out. She will smile at those flowers each time she sees them.
————————————————————
Went heavily on the symbolism, hm?Anyways, I am SO glad I finally wrote something and that I feel motivated again. Hope you guys liked them! Now, I'm going to bed.

The plant asks are a soul feeding lifesaver thank you 🙏. Can I get a ~Marigold~ for all the lovebrush boys?
Plant Ask Prompt List
🌻marigold: how jealous do they get? how do they react when they get jealous?
Alkaid
Whenever Alkaid feels jealous he's never angry towards you or the other person, thinking it's an internal problem that he needs to sort out. Is he feeling this way because he has a hunch that he's lacking? Should he take notes of what the other person is doing and emulate it to make you happy? In a way he puts you in a pedestal since he places a great deal of trust on you and nothing is ever your fault, pointing the blame to himself if something goes wrong. He will still step in if he notices you're beginning to get uncomfortable, but it takes a while before his mind completely clears up. Later on he will bring it up and then apologize, vowing to do better next time so he doesn't feel that way again, not quite realizing that being jealous on occasion is normal and he shouldn't take it as a bad thing as long as he never goes too far.
Ayn
Ayn tries not to let the jealousy get to him most of the time but it can't be helped that there are days where the little things can set him off: it happens when the other person stands too close to you, talking to you too familiarly, even worse if they're touchy as if they have no concept of boundaries. At the very least he makes an attempt to keep the jealousy under control by deflecting, letting you know beforehand that you're responsible for your actions and there's no way in hell he is going to leave you room for forgiveness if you choose to make advances, regardless if you meant it as a joke or not. Admittedly it's not the best method to keep his thoughts at bay, but it does the job. Afterwards you'll notice that he is pouty which is not something a few reassurances can't fix.
Cael
Cael has never really felt it before due to his upbringing so when the jealousy surfaces for the first time, he isn't sure how to categorize the emotion. All he knows is it makes him see red and the sudden urge to deal with the other person through any means possible is overwhelming his senses. Considering how much it would take for him to get to the point of jealousy, it also takes a while for him to calm down, and his thoughts of how to keep you away from all harm (both figuratively and literally) are getting sorted into the part of his brain that consists of actions he should never act upon no matter what. Ultimately, his jealousy is rare and unfamiliar, so strong that can make him act purely on impulse, which undoubtedly will thwart all his future plans and break your trust if he doesn't keep himself in check.
Clarence
Clarence isn't a jealous person by nature. He doesn't mind seeing you grow closer to others because he wants you to have as much agency as possible with your own actions. If someone is bothering you, he knows you can handle yourself so he doesn't interfere but should you use your voice to ask for help, you can count on him to be there within a moment's notice. Typically just his presence is enough to send them running although he isn't above threatening the other person if they refuse to back off after the first time. His choice of words are deliberate and seemingly dangerous but he would never think of inflicting harm to them unless he has no other choice. It takes someone truly formidable for his threats to be serious, thankfully the person bothering you is far from that.
Lars
When someone gets too close to you Lars pretends to be jealous for the laughs. Aside from that you've never seen him actually get jealous over the course of your relationship but that's far from the case when you weren't together yet. It's not as if he ever doubted that he stood a chance with you, if anything he knows he has a shot if he makes the most of his time with you. Problem is his chances are few and far in between; he has to work harder if it means freeing up a fraction of his schedule to see you, and even then there's a possibility that he will see you basking in somebody else's company as soon as he enters the room. There are moments when he wonders what it's like to have less responsibilities, to have more freedom to do what he wants, but he quickly pushes the feeling down before marching to your side.

marigold promises
— 21. equilibrium [☕︎ = 1.2k words]
Tumblr media
You walk through the corridors of Lawrence Hall, your campus' science building, trying your best not to look too out of place while you make your way to the offices.
Ganyu had texted you a bit after lunch and told you that Professor Minci needed to meet with you at 5 pm. On the way to her office, as luck would have it, you manage to bump into Albedo, who tells you he’d been called to Prof Minci’s office as well. Somehow the topic of your conversation shifted to the recent quiz you had in physics.
“The answer to number fifteen was clearly ‘a’,” you retort.
“No, the answer is ‘c’,” Albedo hands you a piece of paper before stuffing his hands in the pockets of his cardigan. Upon closer inspection, you see that the paper has his calculations for each problem in the quiz.
You scan your eyes across his neat handwriting before finding his solution to number 15, “How the heck is your scratch paper this organized?”
He ignores your question and begins to explain how he got his answer, guiding you step by step until you get to the answer, “And there’s your answer, one hundred newtons.” – a smug smile appears on his stupid face – “So you, my dear Cupcake, got that question wrong.”
After looking at his solution for a second time, you realize that you had, unfortunately, made a mistake at some point during your computations, “No need to rub it in my face, Sunshine, but whatever. I concede.”
“You know, if you ever need a tutor-” you elbow him in the side before he finishes his sentence.
Before you knew it, the two of you finally reached the door to Prof Minci’s office. You knock on the door and open it slightly, peeking into your chemistry professor’s office.
“Good afternoon. You called for us?”
“Come in, you two,” she beckons you inside, setting aside a stack of papers. You head inside first with Albedo in tow, the two of you taking your seats in the two chairs placed in front of her desk.
Professor Minci laughs, “You cuties aren’t in trouble, don’t worry,” – you felt yourself relax at her words – “In fact, I’d say it’s the opposite; I’m honestly impressed with how you two performed.”
She shuffles through some papers before handing you and Albedo the tests you took for the qualifiers. Scanning through your answers, you internally curse yourself for the handful of mistakes you made. Ten mistakes in math, eight in science. Good, but not good enough.
“Your performance in the regionals qualifiers was exceptional, but that leaves us with a bit of a problem. While the two of you are our reps for science, you both got the same score for math,” Prof leans forward and gestures to the tests you’re holding. “We have some ways we can go about this, but we’re going to have to be quick since the organizers need names by tomorrow.”
She begins listing your options: (1) take a short test and they choose whoever scores the highest, (2) you decide amongst yourselves (you cross that one off the list – as if you and Albedo could ever agree on anything), or (3) they choose the third-highest scorer.
But Albedo starts before you can even open your mouth, “If it’s alright, I’d like for them to be the representative.”
What? 
“Hm, that was quick," Prof Minci looks at you. "Are you okay with that?”
“O-of course Prof. I’d be honored to represent our school,” you turn to look at Albedo when he fixes you with an icy look before looking back to Prof Minci.
When she finally dismisses you two, Albedo books it for the exit and you have to quicken your pace to catch up to him. The cold look in his eyes comes to the forefront of your mind and sends a chill down your spine. 
Rather than jump to conclusions, a cautious curiosity overtakes you. What in the world happened to cause him to react like that?
You grab his sleeve before he gets the chance to run off, "Not so fast, Sunshine," he turns around, his cold blue eyes boring into you. You glare at him in turn, waiting for a reaction. There were so many things you wanted to say to him but you have one objective: Get answers — that's all you want from him.
Nothing more, nothing less.
The distance between you two has never felt more palpable. 
“Why did you do it?”
Albedo looks unimpressed, "You're gonna have to specify what you mean by that, Cupcake." 
"You know damn well what I mean. Why did you step down?" 
“Don't push me for an answer,” he takes a step back as he averts his gaze, tugging his sleeve from your grasp. “It has always been you, after all. You’ve always been so much better than me anyway. If anything, you should be thanking me for not putting up a fight.” the sarcasm in his voice makes his statement all the more spiteful.
What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Does he think so lowly of you that he thinks you are incapable of outperforming him? Despite all of your arguments, you believed that the two of you had reached a common ground, but perhaps you were mistaken.
You know what he’s trying to do: he’s throwing away this opportunity just to spite you
“Do not think me lesser than you just because you placed higher than me last semester, Sunshine,” you say, each word seething with venom. “What use is your rank if you insist on not bothering to use your fucking head?"
Albedo takes one, two, three steps toward you until he’s right in front of you. A tense silence falls between the two of you, your only company found in the distant chatter of the science building. There is a word for moments like these, where you wait with bated breath as the seconds pass by.
The silence is broken when he finally leans in closer, “Please. At least I know my limits, unlike you. Are you so desperate to prove yourself that you constantly feel the need to compare yourself to me? It’s pathetic, Cupcake.”
You take a step back at what he said. You won’t lie, that shit stings, but you mask your hurt with the most intense glare you can muster. Those five long years we’ve spent apart really have changed us – for better and for worse.
If he regrets his words, he doesn’t show it. His bitterness lingers in the air as you stand there and watch him walk away.
You tuck away all the hurt you felt when he looked you in the eye and tipped the fragile equilibrium the two of you tried so desperately to maintain. What use were these shallow niceties when you can never seem to reach any semblance of an agreement with him?
All you have left is the rage that boils within you, red and raw. Anger means you’re still fighting. Anger means you haven’t given up.
And you’ve always been a fighter, even when you were kids.

summary: it was evident that you and albedo have changed in the five years you’ve spent apart, but you know better than to view him through the lens of nostalgia. with one goal on your mind – graduate valedictorian – who better to stand in your way than the studious, intelligent, ice-cold albedo? one thing’s for sure: he’s going down.

marigold and gardenia with leo please? :3
Tumblr media
Leo Tsukinaga
🌼 marigold: how jealous do they get? how do they react when they get jealous?
– Oh, het gets jealous, alright. He's kind of annoying about it too, but at the same time, it's charming. You know he's playing around when he suddenly engulfs you in a big hug when you're talking to another guy.
– However, it isn't always like this. Sometimes his jealousy could be lighthearted, yet other times, it truly does hurt him. He isn’t really good at communicating these feelings to you, so he’ll watch you laugh with a guy that isn’t him as his heart sinks.
– If that happens, he’ll give you the silent treatment, causing you to worry. He won’t tell you what’s wrong, so you’ll have to figure it out yourself.
– He won't hate you. Of course, he won't. He won't even get mad. When you finally figure it out that he's just jealous, you'll have to console him and reassure him that you'll only ever love him.
🌼 gardenia: would they be good at keeping a relationship secret, if needed?
– Surprisingly, yes. In spite of his loud character, he's pretty good at keeping your relationship a secret. He doesn't blurt out secrets like that especially if it's about you.
– Sure, he's upset that he can't flaunt his relationship with you, but if this is one of the ways he can protect you, he'll do it easily.
– Sometimes, he may give it away, but it's super vague that people won't really understand what he had just said.
Tsukasa was snacking on something that happened to be one of your favourites.
"Waaa, (Y/N) loves these!" exclaims Leo excitedly. "Maybe I should buy her some before I meet up with her today~"
"...What was that Leo-san?"
"Hahaha, nothing, Suo~"

Wyrm: here! Can you translate my book for me??? I’ve been trying my whole life and I only just got one page to become readable but I needed to use these gloves- *holds up wraith guard a little too close to her*
Evalien: *eyes flashing from blue to red as a loud ringing suddenly fills her ears turning into an echo of pained screaming as she picks up the hive minds frequency again* S̵̥̈T̵͓̕R̶̖̆U̵͙̒H̷̙͒ ̶͎̋ṭ̶͝i̸̺͌ ̶̺̓ṣ̶̚ẗ̶͇́ṟ̶̃ṷ̵̍ḧ̷̩́ ̶̢̉t̶͚̐i̵̲͒ ̷̱́s̴̡̛t̸̙̅ṟ̸͘ǘ̷͕h̴̻͋ ̴̦̓t̸̍ͅi̷͇͂ ̴̱̀g̴̖̅n̶̲͝ï̴͈m̶̠̋a̵̢̐é̶͓r̴̥͂c̸̼̒S̷̛͍ ̴̜͌e̸̤̾r̶̡͠’̷̙̚ý̸̝e̴̺͐h̶̽͜t̴̪͝
*staggers back gripping her head and clawing at the headset behind her mask, flicking the noise cancelling function sending white noise over the signal* ughh-
Wyrm: wh-what happened? I- I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to- *steps forward*
Kaidan: *steps between them* not another step you little creep-
Marigold: *slaps his arm* Kaidan, that was uncalled for it was an accident- whatever- it was…
Evalien: *voice switching between frequency and volumes as if someone’s playing with a soundboard in her throat before returning to normal as the connection severs and she focuses back on the song of the land around her* It’s, alright, Kaidan. It… *shakes her head as her eyes flick to green, then blue again* it wasn’t his fault… Wyrm, put those down, immediately. They’re dangerous.
Wyrm: *tears already pricking at his eye from potentially hurting her, then Kaidans jab at him* th- they are? *looks at the gauntlets remembering the visions they gave him, quietly sets them on his desk and backs away from them*
Evalien: *grips onto Taliesin and pulls herself up with his help* Do you know what they are? What they were made for?
Wyrm: I… had a vision when I put them on, I saw them, and a hammer and knife… and three other figures. *pales remembering blood and a peeled face, but strangely no sound, only his pulse thrumming in his ears*
Evalien: the foul murder. The tribunal used those gloves and two other tools that day. But it wasn’t nerevar they struck with them. It was the heart of lorkhan. For your sake… I suggest you keep them locked away.
Wyrm: n-nerevar? Foul murder? The heart of lorkhan? What- how do you know this from just my vision??
Evalien: there’s a great deal I know. A great deal I know about you too… let me see your book.
Kaidan: I don’t think that’s a good idea you started speaking backwards just from those gauntlets-
Evalien: I’ll live. *takes the book from Wyrm and opens it. Seeing mostly what everyone else does when they look at it, encryptions from a living god guarding his secrets* for being the most straight forward and honest of the tribunes he was the most secretive, Vehk fancied himself the replacement of Mephala, but he was an open book compared to seht- *traces her hands over the pages and blinks as text reacts to her touch, swirling over her fingers in patterns and shapes, like they’re responding to her presence with familiarity* but every secret can be found out, and every code can be cracked- *feeds her magic into it and drops the book in shock at what she sees* …
Taliesin: Eva?
Kaidan: love?…
Wyrm: A-Alma?…
Evalien: *breath shakey as she looks from the book, then to Wyrm as tears cloud her vision* And I thought… his decision to kill nerevar was the extent of his cruelty… you can never go to the clockwork city.
Wyrm: I?… why?…
Evalien: *shakes her head* a heart transplant is something I really don’t want to explain…

THE WORLD'S MOST DATING POLL
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As Kabbu's birthday rolls around, the internet turns pink, and people talk about "love" and "romance" and other things like that. Very ironic, considering the man is aroace, but in accordance with the season, we have assembled some very viable bachelors to... date, probably. Dating profiles below the cut, but you can choose from cliff notes if you want, we guess, this is just so the post isn't ABSURDLY long.
Bau (short for Bauplan) - They/any - Dune Cricket - 18-21 (varies based on fic, generally tied to Vi's age) - Bi/pan
When it comes to a date, you can't do better than Bau! Though dune crickets are normally more than a bit antisocial (and cannibalistic), Bau is an exception! Terminally friendly, great at parties, and unendingly loyal - they'll do anything for a friend, and if you can get friendly with them, they'll be more than happy to date if you ever pop the question! You'll have to compete with other friends, of course - not to mention other partners, and their criminal entanglements as a Bandit that often operates as an intimidation detail but really, is it that much of a downside?
Jask - He/they - Ashy gray lady beetle - Late 20s - Gray-ace
If you want level-headed, Jask is your bug! A bandit medic with years of expence under his belt, Jask is well experienced with taking care even the most dangerous of bugs - his boss, for example. Sure, he's a bit busy with patients - but there's a tender heart hiding under that tough exterior. You just have to stick around for... what, five months? Ten?
...more?
...you'll figure it out, we're sure.
Zoza - Whatever the bandits come up with that isn't immediately veto'd (usually she/her) - Damselfly - 70+ - None of your business
The Bandits' second-in-command, a feisty old damselfly with more than a few tricks up her sleeve. She's a bit old to be dating around like you young'uns, but this old woman can still be a loving partner - prove you can contribute to the Bandits, prove that you're strong enough to not die horribly on your first outing, and manage to build enough of a rapport with her despite her many, many vital duties, and you might have a chance... if you're into grandmothers, of course.
(...is GILF a thing? GMILF? Hold on, we need to do some research...)
Marigold - She/her - Death's Head Hawk Moth - 30s - Married to her job
The most eligable bachelor on this list by far, judging by how people have reacted to her! Marigold is a charmsmith with a good, stable job, a good, stable personality, and only a little bit of active torture going on in her basement! We, uhh... aren't entirely sure how you're planning on getting her out of her lab and into the dating scene, seeing as she hasn't really been anywhere near the zone of "dating" since she was... what, sixteen? But we're sure you can figure it out.
Agapanthus - Variable (genderfluid) - Orchid mantis - Older than you'd think - Pan
A waiter(and sometimes waitress) at Club Maenad, this mantis knows exactly how to show you a good time. Charming and attractive, even if they've been banned from bartending for the forseeable future, and flexible for nearly anything you might need in a partner, if you slip in the right compliments between rounds, you might very well have a shot! Just... keep in mind the waiver you signed at the door, and please remember that this is a bar for parasitoids and bugs of species prone to eating their mates.
ZM-32 - It/they - Io moth/cordyceps - 100+ - Fungus
Bugaria's most eligable bachelor! Everyone wants a piece of this, and for good reason! It'll be fierce competition, but maybe, just maybe, if you can evade the deadly lasers and circumvent the persistent hatred for the living that tormented it and its colony for years on end... you could win its heart.
Chips - He/they - Two-striped grasshopper - ??? - Has Better Things To Worry About
Green is in this year - and so are grasshoppers. This one is dateable! Probably. Just be sure to cosy up with him before his gambling debts do, or he might get eaten by a large praying mantis before you get the chance.
ZB-162 - It/its - Cordyceps symbiote - 100+ - Switchboard Operator
...are you into responsible bugs? Are you into fungi? Do you enjoy dating people who are preoccupied with regulating and operating the communication network used by an entire cordyceps colony? Well, ZB-162 might be the bug for you? Though, uhh, often occupied with its job, ZB-162 is a fine specimen of the cordyceps species, and certainly very attractive if you... if you...
...okay, we won't lie to you, this one's a bit of a fixer-upper. Not sure how you're going to drag them away from the communication channels long enough for
The Wraith - ??? - ???????????? - Reported active since Elizant 1's reign - ???????????
Mysterious figure from the Ant Kingdom's criminal underbelly. Married, but you can still shoot your shot, we guess...???
Marble - she/they - Wasp - late 20s - It's In There
…didn't this one get blown up? We're pretty sure this one got blown up. If you pick this one, you have to take mandatory bomb safety courses, we think.
Unit of Radioactive Decay - They/it - Iterator - First activated in late Gen 1 era - Aroace
This is... a building, but you can still give it a try, we guess? Honestly, we have no clue how you found this one. We're pretty sure it's not even a bug.
L2tM & Enot - Any u can call us anything u want bb &lt;3 - Former iterator & karmic wyrm slugcats - Gen 1 & ageless wouldnt u like to know - yes
Why are you two here?! Get out of our fucking poll!!!

Hello! Just wanted to request if you can do another Mordecai and Reader. Maybe like a part 3 lmao cause I'm kinda curious on how his relationship with reader will progress after Atlas's death and he joins the Marigold gang. Will he leave and watch over them from afar (basically murder anyone who does anything to them) cause he now feel even less deserving of their relationship? Or will they be like a double agent couple who pretends to join the marigold gang just to learn the truth of Atlas's death. Really just wanna see this murder cat double down on the protective instinct especially when the Savoys are involved. Like, I can see Mordecai practically growling at then lmao. Thank you!
Yes YES part 3.... I still keep thinking about this.... Continuation of Part 1 and Part 2, PLUS all the stuff surrounding Atlas' death and afterward.... GN reader, angst ahoy!
So, uh. cute things first, yes?
After years of this slow build-up and burn, and you two are finally Something Of an Item (tm), you might slip up and be a little physically close and affectionate in front of others. Mordecai will never talk about it, so anyone with suspicions would have to go to you with questions (and really, that's only Mitzi because she's been invested in this for a while). Because your partner is so private, it's probably best not to get into details. If he could blush he'd be burning red when Mitzi pats his shoulder and says she's so happy he found such a good person.
If you have a fur pattern that's aysmmetrical, or have odd-eyes, birth marks/beauty marks or just. Any really distinct appearance like that, sometimes Mordecai just stares. At first, years back, it was a stare of annoyance. Now that you're closer it's still intense, just, uh ... a different kind of intense. Unfortunately while most people have a cute doe-eyed look when looking at their partner, Mordecai's is consistently a little creepy. Oh well. He gets easily flustered when you look right back and stare him down, though.
He's never really celebrated his birthday, especially once he fled New York city. Once you figure it out, you won't make a big deal of it, but you do get him a nice meal and something practical he'd enjoy. A new pair of gloves, a nice plant, good quality shoes, something like that. It's a little present that he isn't sure how to react to at first. After doing it year after year, he finally accepts them with quiet appreciation and will do something similar for your birthday. His gifts are much the same, practical, well-made and simple. He prefers to leave them at your apartment rather than give them face to face.
When he gets into his wound up and irritated moods (probably something Viktor said), all you need to do is sit next to him and rub your face lightly against his, or just put your head on his shoulder to settle him down. Mordecai outright deflates, and struggles to hold onto that anger. You can only get away with this once you both are romantically attached and, seriously, you are the only one apart from maybe his sisters (who you probably don't even know about). This is a culmination of years of trust slowly building up; now he can finally start to show shreds of vulnerability.
(Tho if you purr on him he's going to get SO embarrassed he just shoots up and walks away and you flop back on the couch).
As much as you make him lose his composure, he's just as good as giving it back, though totally unaware of it. There's the rather intense staring as mention before, but Mordecai may also just grab your shoulders to keep you still as he adjusts some of your clothes. He's ... surprisingly strong when he wants to be. When you're both on a job with guns drawn, he has a habit of standing in front of you or jumping in front once trouble starts. When you're wounded he sits you right in front of him so he can bandage it up and do what he can and, yes, he will drag you to Elsa even though he's an absurdly difficult patient with her. She tells him as much.
(And he waits right by your side as you slowly wake up from the morphine).
Also ... if you're a lighter-haired cat, esp a long-haired one, he starts finding your hair all over his damn clothes and there is. Not enough lint brushes in the world. Love the mental image of him and Atlas having a discussion, when Atlas just reaches over and pulls off a long, lighter-colored hair off Mordecai's normally impeccable black coat.
Intimacy will still be tough; you almost have to walk him through it. He isn't ignorant of the mechanics, he just dislikes the whole ... business of it. Mordecai will do a little for your sake, and again, it's a lot of building up and easing him to be more comfortable with prolonged touching and intimacy. It's tough to say if this is easier depending on your gender, but regardless, he has to be the one whose more in control and setting the pace (even if you're encouraging him along). And of course, plenty of reassuring that you two can stop at any time.
(This has been stated many times before, but you are the exception. The thought of him being this close and vulnerable and intimate with anyone else makes him nauseous.)
Afterward he almost seems small and skittish in his tall body. Mordecai always has to shower and clean immediately, though it's no insult to you (and he doesn't mind if you join, though he gets very quite and embarrassed). He's just repulsed by filth and sweat in general; you know this, once he's washed up he's a lot more relaxed and even willing to cuddle for a while.
The first few times he had to remember the last time he'd been so close to someone, or even hugged them this long. The best he can remember is when he had to share a bed (more of a mattress) with his sisters when they first came to New York. Rose was still a baby and always cold, while Esther was scared of the noise of cars in the street and rats in the wall. The three kittens would pile up together and tremble until they fell asleep; sometimes their mother would join them, exhausted from work and cold herself. Even when they moved into a slightly less dilapidated apartment, his sisters would sleep in his bed during the frigid winters.
So it while it may surprise you that Mordecai is so close and clingy in his sleep, to him being that close is a very comforting warmth and sense of nostalgia. It's a toss-up with whose the big spoon. This is also one of the only times you'll hear him purr; it's quiet and only lasts a few minutes before he drifts off. Because he wakes up at the crack of dawn, you rarely get to see him sleeping unless you stay up after he falls asleep.
So ... moving onto the whole. Atlas business.
When it all goes down, well. He considered Viktor a good friend, and that friend ended up kneecapped so Mordecai wouldn't have to cross guns with him. An incentive to leave the life that was ruining them. Make no mistake, Mordecai would - while still bloody - warn you about leaving, too. He'd raise his gun at you, hoping the scare would be enough, knowing each second he does is actively tearing down the closest thing to a "other half" he had. His green eyes are cold and frighteing but mentally he is the one begging you to just listen to him and run. Don't make call his bluff, because he can't do it. The very closest he'd get is if you actually tried to stop him, or tried to talk him down, or took the gun - and the nerves would snap, and he'd give a warning shot. A piece of your ear is torn off, and there's a ringing in your head. It could've been your head; he's an excellent shot. He only missed because he wanted to.
It was a warning, but even that makes his hands shake. He's in disbelief that he did it. It was a sort of out of body experience when he shot Viktor, but for this he is vividly, painfully awake. Mordecai retreats from there, unable to make himself do anything else, hoping that's enough to destroy any shred of love you had.
If you stick around with Lackadaisy ...
Well. You and Viktor have a sort of ... awkward, unhealthy bond of being betrayed, with one of you having paid far more dearly than the other... though one could argue while he paid physically, you're paying in feeling like a piece of your heart was ripped out. You wouldn't be blamed for thinking he holds some resentment toward you, but that isn't the case at all. He feels sorry for you, and anger toward Moredcai for what he did to the two of you. There's still the resignation and guilt, but it's tinged with far more anger. Mitzi thanks god one of her best triggermen is still in good form, although - well, you're a little ... different than before. Your hearing still hasn't recovered from that shot, she knows, and the stitch-job wasn't ... the best.
The real problem is when - not if - you and Mordecai ever cross guns again. Mitzi is terrified of that inevitability, and to be fair, Mordecai does his utmost to avoid it. He wants no confrontation, not ever. If you two ever meet again, it's painfully obvious he wants to escape. For many nights, he thought you may hunt him down and shoot him - he'd deserve that much. As much as he's obsessed with the truth behind Atlus' death, if you chose to stop him dead in his tracks, wouldn't he deserve it?
If you left Lackadaisy, all the better. Mordecai may never hear from you again, and he tells himself that's for the best, even if there's a hole where his heart used to be. His mother, his sisters, you, Viktor, Mitzi, Atlas - he's failed many, many people. This is a new feeling, an emptiness, and that is what goads his frantic investigation on what truly happened to Atlas. It may be the only thing he has left.
Regardless if you stay or leave, Mordecai is more irritable and cold to those who knew him before ... though, considering he cut ties, that isn't many. He's a little thinner, and doesn't sleep as well. Asa Sweet couldn't tell the difference, and while the Savoy siblings can tell something isn't quite right, they don't know the history. They've heard stories and rumors, sure. Perhaps Serafine even hears a morsel of some former Lackadaisy gunman he was chummy with... it's all so intriguing. The first time she brought it up, he gave her such a venomous look that it only encouraged her curiosity.
Asa brought you up one time when talking with Mordecai, and holy shit he's never joking about that again. He broke into a sweat.
(Hell, even Mitzi tried to bring you up when she and Mordecai had that private conversation in her car. He shut her down so coldly, it frightened her.)
And yes, that means if you're still doing Lackadaisy operations with Rocky and Freckle, he has to hear about it. He's in the room when Asa gives the order to the Savoy siblings going after you, or worse, if Mordecai is brought onto the job. He makes it clear that he'll take care of you, and they can deal with the rest. Although it always seems like you're able to get away before it comes to that ...
If you two ever had to meet again for an extended period of time, yeah, the ... year of isolation and guilt and hurt (it feels like its been five years) is just palpable. Serafine and Niko quickly piece together that there was some serious history, more than they initially thought ...
Remember those silly photos Mitzi took, and she shared? Maybe you threw your's away, or lost them, but ... Mordecai keeps one in his wallet. If he anticipates trouble (as it always is with the goddamn Savoys), he moves it to his bedside for safekeeping. He's careful about preserving it. The corners are already starting to wear. There's fleeting thoughts of putting it in a picture frame, but - no, that'll just draw attention to it, and what right does he have to keep a photo of someone who hates him? When he thinks of you, he feels that picture burning a hole in his breastpocket. Any photos that have the two of you - even the blurry, distant ones Mitzi took while trying to get used to her camera- he blotted ink on himself, leaving only you there. Back when you had a smile.
Long story short, he's a mess. He's mentally frayed and physically he's not doing great; you're probably just the same. Mitzi worries about your health often, Rocky knows that some days he just shouldn't talk to you. Ivy remembers when she used to chatter away with Viktor, Mordecai and you, but she knows she can't bring those days up anymore. There may even be an odd wall between you two, whereas before you often spoiled and doted on the little Ivy.
There are probably moments in the past year where Mordecai just ... something gets ahold of him, and he goes out to where you live - if you left the city entirely, this would be difficult, but if you were still in St. Louis or stayed with the Little Daisy - he'd just stand out in the street where your home is, feeling incredibly creepy and exposed. Debating if he should write a letter, or leave something or - no, he shoots all those ideas down. He doesn't know if he stays a few minutes or an hour, but eventually the nerves get the better of him and he hurries away, feeling like a rat.
Well, you two were like peas in a pod for years ... it was a bond that neither of you had before, so it makes sense that just a year isn't enough to heal or repair much of it ...

How would Goldie react if we give him something we made? A glittery brooch of marigold flower, perhaps?
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
He would honestly love it. Goldie really likes shiny things such as a brooch, but any other gifts you give him he will keep.
"And I shall forever remember who gave them to me. Such as you, dear."

im writeing a fic for plot swap
so the plot swap post has turned into an entire fic, with a plot chart and everything, this is going to be the basic outline for the difference in au vs cannon considering canon color crew plus purple minus orange are going to be in the au. call this the character chart. if you want to go into the au blind when i post it ignore this
Alan Becker, aka the creator, dad
actually a good stick dad, and cared for them as best he could, currently mia after the hollow heads watched him collapse and be taken away by people. the hollows are doing everything they can to find him.
Victim Becker, aka the firstborn, Vic, was an accidental creation
created rocket corp in an attempt to find the creator, runs it not to dissimilar to a mafia, ruthless with anyone perceived as being in the way, over protective of his brothers has mercs watching them near constantly so nothing can happen to them. considers his siblings an ace up his sleeve if the cards are down considering there powers are much stronger then his.
the chosen one Becker, aka the second born, cho, tco, one, created to give vic someone to spend time with
after a brief stent of destruction after alans disappearance and the pc shutting down now spends most of his time either training second or keeping the home feeling like home, the only sibling actually copeing instead of just trying to fix the problem, he and alan worked on his temper but after alans disappearance its almost as bad as when he was born.
the dark lord Becker, aka the third born, dark tdl, created to give cho someone to spar with
the most laid back after Alan's vanishing, but handling it worse then cho, has not processed what's happening at all, takes his bursts of rage out on any website that bugs him even slightly, vic encourages this, spends most days tearing the web apart trying to locate any sign of alan or sneaking second away from the mercs to go mess around in the city.
the second coming becker, aka the youngest child, sec, tsc, orange, also a complete accident
having only been around for two weeks before his dads vanishing act he blames himself for it, hasnt met any of his friends yet and is lonely, clinging to his brothers for interaction, has really bad social anxiety yet always running away from his babysitters to try and make friends, most of his brothers fear as a result of there dad vanishing has focused onto him, resulting in them being over protective. powers activated when the pc shut down, has a very basic grasp on them but they tend to react to his emotions without his imput.
the color crew(red green blue and yellow)
where never broken out of their game and are still there stuck, sick of being stuck in the fighting loop.
mango tango, aka mt, dad
suspicious of rocket corp but keeping his head down for his family, never went on his rampage because gold never died. retired professional fighter teaching gold how to fight and teaching purple he doesn't have to fight, current stay at home dad.
lilac, aka mom
also suspicious of rocket corp and is also better at keeping her head down then her husband, divorced navy when purple was six and her then husband broke their kids arm, marryed MT when purple was eight, works as a software engineer, her company is offten hired by rocket corp. her illness was treatable because of vic digging into hospital record and other such databases in an attempt to find alan, leading to her actually getting a diagnosis and eventual recovery. she can no longer work in the field and works from home most days, refuses to let MT get a job so she can quit, she likes her work too much and she knows he adores spending so much time with the kids.
marigold, aka gold, big sister
unaware of her parents worry's, is two years older then purple and wants to be a professional fighter like her dad, didn't die because the hollows had gone to the fair before them, and sec had gone in when the error was made but instead of dyeing his powers teleported him to freedom. dosent have any freinds because her energy scares most people away, she dosnt mind. she asks too many questions in too public places for her parents liking, shes going to get into something she cant get out of one of these days.
purple, aka little brother
very aware of his parents concerns, also doesn't have any friends so spends most of the time with his sister, interested in the use of icons outside of their apps, aka one of the things rocket corp specializes in, try's to keep his head down but he's got a strong sense of justice that doesn't like keeping quite
