flirting ; jujutsu kaisen
yuta okkotsu, megumi fushiguro, toge inumaki, satoru gojo / gn reader
Tumblr media
; yuta okkotsu -
‣ yuta's so shy when it comes to flirting, especially as a first-year
‣ once he realizes he likes you, it's over for him- he can't speak to you like a normal human being, or else he actually might explode
‣ he just thinks you're so perfect, he can't flirt with you- he's already trying hard enough not to pass out holding a regular conversation
‣ but sometimes, if he's feeling brave, he'll casually pass you a flower he 'found'
‣ (he didn't just find it. he spent, like, forever trying to pick a perfect one from a pretty field.)
‣ sometimes, though, he slips up and lets a real genuine compliment slip; he'll talk about some aspect of your personality he adores so truthfully- he doesn't even realize he's rambling about you, to you until he's said it
‣ after he comes back from africa, these flirtations are a lot more purposeful but he typically still ends up more flustered than you
yuta's face burned red as dawn as you grinned mischievously, holding in a laugh. "say that again, please?"
he had to turn his gaze from you as you borderline pleaded at yuta to repeat what he'd just said. your hand laced with his own and he already knew he'd lost.
"i said," yuta near-whispered, daring a glance back at you, "i really like your voice. i mean, it's so nice to listen to, and it's so you, i could listen to it all day-"
he cuts himself off when he noticed you beaming at him and he chokes on his words. "i didn't mean to sound creepy," he rushed to add, "it's just-"
"it's okay, yuta." your voice was bright with barely contained affection. "i like your voice, too."
Tumblr media
; megumi fushiguro -
‣ see, megumi THINKS he's flirting
‣ when in reality, he's just being... normal
‣ well, society's normal standard of kindness- for him, it's a huge step, but for anyone else, it's basic human decency
‣ nobara once asked if he was dropping hints to his crush, and he responded yes! when asked for examples he told her abt:
‣ that one time he let you use a pencil in class bc you forgot yours
‣ and the other time he half-smiled at your pitiful joke because no one else reacted
‣ another time he told gojo to shut up because he was pestering you (this one was more for him than you, though)
‣ but in all realness, megumi really doesn't know how to flirt with you either
‣ he doesn't get too nervous per se, he just doesn't know how to outwardly express his interest- these little acts of kindness are the best he can manage
‣ he wishes he could do more but he can't- little does he know, it's more than enough
you pulled your thin jacket tighter for the 4th time in the past few minutes. megumi would know, he's been keeping track.
his mind was whirring with questions of what to do; were you cold? (yes, obviously, if you were shivering this much.) should he offer to go grab your coat? (no, he wouldn't even know where it was.) how else could he help?
megumi sighed to himself before shrugging off his sweater. this was the best idea he had. he couldn't have you freezing to death before you caught on to his feelings.
"you're cold," megumi stated plainly. you looked over at him, slightly amused as you responded.
"really? i didn't notice." he rolls his eyes, turning his head to hide his (flushed) cheeks. he didn't succeed. a navy crewneck was tossed towards you, and you caught it stiffly with your numbed hands.
"just shut up and use that." you didn't miss the softness of his voice. beaming, you shrug the crewneck on, smelling the rush of herbal tea and cinnamon- before brushing closer to megumi and taking his arm.
"thank you, i appreciate you, y'know." he felt himself almost falter with your words, before regaining his composure.
"i appreciate you, too."
Tumblr media
; toge inumaki -
‣ inumaki is a tease when he flirts with you, and he's confident and everything too!
‣ he likes you, he doesn't hide it
‣ he writes you little notes which he leaves in places he knows for sure you'll find them eventually
‣ the notes usually say things like stupid complimentary jokes or really dumb pickup lines
‣ somehow, toge never runs out of them!
‣ he's more physically affectionate with you than others
‣ oftentimes, he'll approach you by trying to spook you, jumping into your side with a hand over your shoulder
‣ his touches linger, though, probably more than the touch of a friend's would..
maki snorted and panda laughed at the fearful noise you let out, watching you recoil as inumaki's eyes crinkled with laughter. his hand remained rested on your shoulder as you placed another hand over your chest, sighing.
"god, toge, why do you always do that?" he tipped his head at you and raised a brow. you met his eyes, and perhaps the contact lasted a little too long because maki cleared her throat pointedly.
"toge," she greeted, "panda was just telling us about the mission you both were just on." inumaki's face furrowed in faux-annoyance, displaying his feelings about the mission. you almost didn't notice how his hand slipped down your arm and into your hand.
his own palm was warm and soft in your own. a rush of heat took over your face and everything in you was fighting against the urge to squirm away. you glanced over to inumaki, tuning out maki and panda's chatter.
he was looking at you, once again with his eyes creased, glimmering with amusement. you were sure your face betrayed your nerves, and you were about to say something when maki called your attention.
she raised a knowing eyebrow. "everything alright?"
you dry swallowed air and nodded stiffly. "yeah," you turn your gaze to her. your hand, still holding toge's, tightens and you feel him squeeze yours back. "yeah, everything's fine."
Tumblr media
; satoru gojo -
‣ this man is the WORST and i mean it with my whole heart
‣ he has no shame when it comes to flirting with you, and you are fully aware because he makes SURE of it
‣ the thing is, though, it's such a frequent occurrence that you're unsure of whether he really means it or is just messing with you
‣ so you mostly laugh his flirtations off- much to his frustration
‣ so.. he has points where he'll stop with the joking flirting and just be all serious and like weirdly genuine about how he feels, it throws you off fr
‣ he'll be making sex jokes and talking about how he's gonna propose and then whips out the most real compliment about your eyes and you're like 'oh...'
‣ you don't really know how to react, and while you're recovering, gojo resumes his stupid demeanor, giving you major whiplash
‣ he also does this at the worst times. like, in a meeting with the higher-ups he'll just look at you and be like 'you're the love of my life' and you are just like 😀
‣ he also buys you lavish gifts. like DESIGNERRR designer things
‣ he will blow his whole bank account on you if you ask
‣ (he does this even if you don't ask!)
you sat next to gojo on a bench, observing as the second-years fight tooth and nail. this was a regular thing, them deviating from the actual practice to beat each other up.
"why are they fighting this time?" gojo's lips curled into a smile at your question. the both of you kept your eyes trained on the students as he responded.
"panda lost maki's favorite polearm. the rest just got roped in." out on the field, angry shouting could be heard. you shook your head. "they're insane. we weren't like that as students, were we?"
"i was, at least." gojo turns his blindfolded gaze to you, and you look back. his hair looks soft and his skin dewy under the afternoon sun. "crazy about you! still am!"
you purse your lips and roll your eyes, turning away from him with a heavy, indicative sigh. you hope he can't hear the way your heart picks up its pace as it thunders loud in your ears. "sure you were, satoru."
you do not see his gaze soften, just a little, before he speaks again.
"i really was, y'know. from the start." you expect him to stop here. he does not.
"i think it was your kindness that made me fall for you at first," he mused, "when you insisted to help that kid home on our first mission, even though we could've had someone else take care of it.
you've always been like that. a good person. that's why i fell for you." gojo finished his statement and you blinked twice before burying your face in your hands.
"but anyways!" gojo clapped his hands together, jumping up from where he was sitting. you snapped your head back up to see him striding. "i should probably break this fight up before someone dies."
you stared as he walked off to the students. in the distance, you could see panda pointing over to you and tipping his head worriedly after he'd recovered from his beating, courtesy of maki. you must've looked like a mess because gojo just laughed.
he's going to be the death of me, you mused, he's going to be the death of me and i don't mind one bit.

Let's talk about Eddy and empathy
Okay, so. Hand-me-down Ed.
Tumblr media
Lotta people talk about this episode. Lotta them have the take that the boomerang unleashed Eddy's repressed nurturing side. This is a very valid interpretation when you consider the abuse Eddy has endured and all the reasons he has to repress any nurture-type feelings. But here is the thing that I think. Or don't think. I don't think Eddy represses a secret nurturing side. I think it got repressed by outside forces when he was young and squishy and moldable, and now there's not really a whole lot of nurturing in there left for him to repress himself. I truly believe the intent of the episode was to show the Eds being the opposite of who they truly are. And Eddy, truly, in my opinion, is an incredibly traumatized kid with some really unfortunate learned behaviors and underdeveloped empathy muscles that just aren't gonna fully recover.
There are two episodes I wanna talk about to back up my claim.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ah, Dueling Eds. Who doesn't like Dueling Eds? I certainly consider it one of my favorite episodes. It's a surprisingly serious episode with a genuine look at how Eddy navigates the consequences of hurting someone. That long silence in the van with Double D? His continuing insistence that he didn't do anything? Continually asking throughout the whole episode what the hell is even going on? Mwah. Chef's kiss. I've seen a few different theories for what's going on with Eddy in this episode, but I've always felt that he genuinely has no idea what he did, why everyone's acting the way they are, and is incredibly fucking frustrated by how little sense the whole situation is makes. He knows it has to do with the fishball; he even brings it up himself when he's talking about the incident with Double D later. But he doesn't understand why that was wrong. He doesn't get how something so inconsequential in his own mind could be so hurtful to Rolf, and he is either incapable of, or refuses to acknowledge, that just because it wasn't a big deal to him, doesn't mean it can't be a big deal to someone else. (We call this ~theory of mind~ btw and it's a big component of empathy.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another favorite of mine, Little Ed Blue. I've talked about this scene before because I love it for a lot of reasons, and one of those reasons is the insight we get into how Eddy's emotions have probably been addressed by those around him in the past. I mean, jeez, this is Ed! He's one of Eddy's most important people! A true and dear friend he's had since he was a toddler and one of the few people in the world who outwardly likes him and gets along with him. And what does he do when Ed's having a bad day? Calls him a wuss, laughs at him, invalidates his feelings, and tells him to get over himself. This is some grade fucking A asshole behavior, even for Eddy. And yet he does it easily without a shred of guilt, convinced this is the correct way to address a friend who's in the throes of misery. I mean, just look at this face.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Has Ed ever made a face like that? His feelings got fucking hurt man. (also, as a sibling, I can say that this is categorically the most Sibling moment between Eddy and Ed in the entire show.)
IMO, someone with a repressed nurturing side wouldn't be that baffled by how Rolf is reacting or be that cruel to their own best friend. This looks more like someone who genuinely has a low amount of empathy. So what's actually going on? Do I think Eddy is just some cold, uncaring asshole? Of course not! He's a traumatized 12 year old kid who's endured intense physical abuse. Cruelty was normalized for Eddy at a very young age. Why should Rolf be so upset about a fishball? It's not like Eddy beat him or something. And what's Ed got to be so miserable about? Men shouldn't act like wusses. Men are supposed to just get over it. And how could Eddy be wrong for thinking these things? It's what he was taught, after all. He learned these behaviors from his hero, after all. This is all he knows. This is what makes sense to him. It's Rolf and Ed who are being ridiculous.
That kind of stunted growth to someone's empathy isn't something so easily fixed. This is why I don't headcanon or write a more grown up Eddy as someone who learns he doesn't have to repress his nurturing side anymore; I see him as someone who's learned that nurturing and empathy are part of the whole "having friends" deal. He's learned that nurturing and empathy are what's considered normal, learned that it's what's expected of any decent human being, man or not. He's also learned, a la BPS, that you have to be a good friend to have good friends. It doesn't come naturally to him. It's gonna take a lot of hard work and growth on his part. But even if Eddy doesn't always understand why he needs to be gentler, needs to just listen, needs to offer a shoulder to cry on, that doesn't mean he won't do it for the sake of his friends. Because even if empathy ain't his strong suit, even if being empathetic is hard fucking work, he still genuinely and wholeheartedly cares about his friends and cares about doing right by them.

Obey Me cast relationship with MC songs (2023 edition)
Found this post when scrolling through my old posts from 2020 and decided it would be fun to give it another crack now that 1) we have a LOT more canon material to go off and B) my taste in music has expanded past just grandma songs (not that I don't still enjoy grandma songs ofc) Also adding Diavolo, Barbatos, and Solomon since I have a better grasp on their personalities now. (Well, only barely with Barbatos, but we'll get to that lol)
Warnings: mild spoilers for lesson 16 of the original game in Belphie's, some of these songs use gendered language when talking about the significant other (implied female: Mammon; implied male: Levi, Asmo) *this doesn't mean MC must be that gender in those scenarios*
Lucifer: Honey Moon by Birds in the Airport. Okay, starting off on a somewhat angsty note lol. But look me in the eye and tell me I'm wrong. "...tear open every exit from the maze inside my mind" like come ON that's literally what MC does with Lucifer. Whether he'd verbalize any of this is another question entirely, but also isn't the point here.
Mammon: Fair by The Amazing Devil. I hemmed and hawed over this for a while, tbh. Wasn't sure if it was a lil too soft for his outwardly prickly ass, but I eventually settled on "this is him but he sure as hell isn't admitting it any time soon". The trouble with tsundere characters ig. But anyway he's a dork and the trying to make his partner laugh when they're mad at him felt very on-brand.
Leviathan: A Shitty Gay Song About You by Ezra Williams. I've associated Levi with this song for quite a while now. It has it all. Goldfish, self-deprication, pining, it's great. Oh, for Levi to lend me his sweatshirt tbh.
Satan: Cat Serenade by Beetlebug. Absolutely adorable song. It has cat metaphors, it has pining, it has the whole "I used to never open up to anyone but here we are", it's just super Satan in a lot of ways.
Asmodeus: Freckles by Kevin Atwater. I mean it's just adorable, first of all. But second of all, the theme of actually falling in love with someone for real when you're used to more casual relationships is pretty fundamental to Asmo's relationship with MC.
Beelzebub: Strawberry Mentos by Leanna Firestone. Idk maybe this is a bit too straightforward but even outside of any food references, it's such a sappy, sacchirine love song that it really does feel Right for Beel, big babey that he is.
Belphegor: Grace, Anatomy by Homemade Haircuts. Okay, while this isn't really addressed in-game, if he ends up in a relationship with MC, the shit that happened in the attic is gonna be weighing pretty heavy on his mind for a long time. Between that and his general abandonment issues, this song is an excellent reflection of his feelings about MC (at least early on in the relationship), even if most of it is stuff he would never actually say out loud.
Simeon: Chai Tea by audrey. Yeah, yeah, I know the title sounds more Barbatos, but the song itself is just so cozy and easygoing. (Of all the possible words to describe Barbatos, I think "easygoing" is about the last thing that would come to mind). All the other love interests are a bit more... uh... intense. Whereas this song is literally just being incredibly sappy and drawing a quiet comfort from the other person's presence even without talking about anything in particular.
Diavolo: Touch Starved by BB Bean. This doesn't require much elaboration, I don't think. The title says it all. Like honestly. "I'm just tired of the bubble, I just wanna hand to hold" is deadass how he acts in every surprise guest (at least in the og game, less so in nightbringer lol). Just wants to feel normal smh
Barbatos: A Wistful Waltz by Teddy Hyde. Okay, I need to apologize to Barbatos stans bc I struggle so much to figure this guy out (which I suspect is the point, but it makes it damn hard to come up with headcanons for him). But based on my tenuous grasp on his personality and... odd dynamic with MC, I think this should fit the bill. It's subdued but with that underlying intensity that I always seem to pick up on with him.
Solomon: Painting Roses by Dresses. I actually don't have much explanation for this, but Solomon in Nightbringer especially is just. He's such a fuckin disaster, man. (I actually was torn between giving this song to Solomon or Satan, but I ended up going with Sol in the end)

I know I don't mention it a lot but I do heavily think of Ignis like my dad?? With my FFXV insert when he first met her as a ghost-writer, he pulled some strings at the castle to become Noct's secondary tutor since he saw my S/I had a good head and heart but was taking on an adult role while still a child. It reminded him of himself...
Meanwhile, with my royal AU, he just was like "I already look after one royal, two shouldn't be that much harder when they hang out." Though Noctis did get a little jealous when Ignis would begin praising me for eating veggies so well. Noct gets us back by very begrudgingly eating some broccoli (The one veggie I will die before eating ><)
But as we grew closer I'd go to him for things I needed help with but was too embarrassed to ask Gladio for. CP's acting up and can't tie my shoe too well? Iggy's got it and some new non-tying laces! Your girl wants to make lunch but was never allowed to? Iggy was going to make some for the guys and would enjoy an enthusiastic helper, plus he has some tips on how to make things easier for me. Basically in a way, I become the Prince of Lucis's Assistant of his Advisor.
But then one night, while traveling with the guys, long after we call it a night, I awaken from a nightmare. But since I have years of practice, my sobs are silent and I can easily sneak out of the tent. Ignis wakes up soon after since he can just sense something's amiss. When he sees the prince sleeping, the shield snoring, and the quicksilver peacefully tossing that means that the newest addition is nowhere seen.
He's more alarmed than anything until he sees a faint light just outside. He joins me, and I try to hide the fact I was bawling my eyes out. There's no use though and when he says that I can just let it out and he'll stay right here to keep me safe until I go back to the tent, I bawl harder.
In all my life (No matter the universe) I never had an older figure who had given me that. My own father left when I was little and when he came back he saw me as his soldier rather than his 4-year-old daughter... And let's just say that relationship only grew more strained and frayed until I finally cut it at 18. And despite what everyone from my mom to my friends to my aunt who lives with my dad now says, I still have moments where I wonder if I just wasn't a good daughter and that's why he'd let me down amongst the other horrible abuse he scarred into me. (Not going into it here, but you can see glimpses of it in my writing)
Ignis not only stays, but he listens. At the end of it all, he understands where I come from but can't understand what father would do such things to such a sweet young girl. He doesn't say that though, the words catch in his throat. I simply laugh at my own silliness for crying over old scars that I say have healed and rub my eyes. I tell Ignis as I shakily stand up that I'll make sure to knock it into Noct to count the lucky stars that he has Ignis. Without him, who'd know where the prince would be. Who knows where I would be... Ignis simply thanks me, rubbing my back as he guides me back to the tent and I snuggle up with my big teddy of a boyfriend.
Nothing much changes after that, outwardly anyway. But Ignis does start checking in more. Did you eat? Meds?? How's uni going?? How are your friends??? Everyone thinks it's normal since I was always checking in on him since I could see he was just as self-sacrificing as I was. But then, I mistakenly call him 'Dad' in front of the guys and my friends.
IT'S OVER, I CRAVE DEATH! I WANT TO HOP IN A HOLE! Noct is just confused, Prompto thinks it's so sweet, and Gladio can't stifle a chuckle... I look shyly at Ignis as I go to apologize but he looks flattered?? (This takes place mid-FFXV so he's 22 and I'm 19) I stutter out an apology citing it as a genuine slip of the tongue. He just ruffles my hair and tells me I should take after Noctis and get a bit more sleep then rather than staying up with my podcasts.
I don't see Iggy as the type to be like "SIGN THE ADOPTION PAPERS IT'S PART OF THE RECIPE!" But he would step into the role more because I think he would wanna settle down but due to his position gave up the whole children bit since the royal family IS his family in a sense. But there's nothing wrong with guiding one of the prince's friends. (especially when I'm a royal so you know political benefits to Lucis and all~!)
So like I never openly start calling him 'Dad' or anything. But a lot of people have caught on. For if I'm going out with my other friends and don't have physical cash but offer to send him some, he'll just give me a 50 and tell me to treat next time the 5 of us go out to eat (He won't let me pay for more than my own if that!) And he'll always be open to talking while he does his work or while he has an ebony break! He'll share in my excitement as I talk about school, what I'm into, or my own personal adventures, and he does get protective of me as he does Noctis. Though he shows that differently, such as comforting me from my nightmares and whenever I do have to meet my dad.
I also may have asked if one day, if I ever get married, if I could have him walk me down the aisle and give me away to whatever lucky person. He quietly but happily said 'of course'!
Also, he has no problem being in 'dad-mode' to my older f/os (Miguel, Thancred, Jack, Raiden, Yagami, Kaito) a lot of them don't even catch on that he's younger than them until later! Gladio's the only exception since they go way back!
Also when I'm like "IGGY MEET MY NEW SIBLINGS/KIDS" He doesn't bat an eye but does sit us down to ask if we've eaten. All in all, best dad figure!
Now I just need a tag for Iggy!
Taglist: @disneymarina @floweringforgetfulness @goldenworldsabound @singingdeepinme @nyandereneko @hadesgoddess @canongf @wanderers-wife @maskedanarchy-ships

Emet post sundering has learned to mask his neurodivergence so hard that I don't think he could ever learn to unmask again. Several aspects of his personality are built on his experiences and his coping mechanisms and he's worn so many disguises he no longer knows how to be himself. He no longer even knows what is himself- it's like the world slowly scooped away all his filler points of personality and refilled him with something else and it happened too slowly to ever figure out what's his and what's the world's. He's a weirdo, and he knows a weirdo, but the difference is that before he was weird even though he desperately wanted to he normal, and now he knows he can never be normal so the least he can do is control the way in which he is weird.
Several aspects of him that would seem like inherent parts are in truth not, and we know this just looking at pre sundering vs post sundering emet. His sense of humor, for instance- he seems to be all laughs now, and yet before, he never laughed at all.
He annoys, confuses, scares, and lusts outwardly because by acting in certain ways he can drive interactions into certain routes that he knows how to navigate. He may be emotionally intelligent, but he is also autistic, and even now social cues get lost on him if he doesn't have the experience needed to spot and read them, so by forcing the interaction into a specific intense and predictable tone he now knows what exactly he's meant to do in an interaction- he knows the social rules of anger, confusion, fear, and lust, and thus when he breaks those rules and does something weird, it's knowingly and on purpose. He doesn't have to get caught off guard with the realization that he fucked it up on accident.
The downside is that his tendency to irritate people in order to get control also causes those people to not trust, like, or want to work with him when he needs them to- much like how he antagonizes the player in shadowbringers while also constantly seeming annoyed that we don't trust or want to work with him.
And the other downside is that he's spent so long getting good at annoying, confusing, scaring or seducing people that he's lost track of his old self behind those behaviors. He doesn't know what to do outside of those interactions and can often end up being really fucking weird and even morbid or unsettling when placed in a situation where he can't or doesn't want to use that crutch. He likes being what he is, it's fun, so it doesn't worry him too badly, but it is surreal to anyone who knew him before, and inconvenient for anyone who would like him to Stop Doing That.

2, 12, 15 for Dottore for the ask game —canon-can-fight-me
hey hey thank u!! :]
Tumblr media
2: ""The Take Over, the Breaks Over"" - How would your f/o describe you to a friend? What are some things they always include? Some things they seem to leave out? And vice versa if you want— how would you describe them to someone you know?
HUM WELL OK UH. at first i think he doesn't really....talk about silvio much at all, and whenever he does he probably just refers to him as "the human" or anything similar. later this might develop into "my human" at first, but it's more him being kind of possessive rather than being affectionate, and the only time he really talks about him is when he tells the other automata not to mess with him in any way.
his initial reason for spending time with silvi is thinking that maybe he can better understand how to make Lady Francine laugh by observing human behavior as well as a general sort of...curiosity in human emotions & desires, plus he sometimes has silvi tell him their fortune, so whenever he speaks to the other pionniers about him he mainly just tells them about everything that he believes could be helpful or otherwise of interest to them. columbine is probably the firs one to kinda start teasing dottore about this a little and starts questioning whether this is TRULY the only reason he's spending so much time with him?? ;) but he always shuts her down pretty fast because OBVIOUSLY he doesn't care about him like that, that would be preposterous.
anyway um yeah later on when he's not trying to hide his affection for him anymore he definitely pretty much exclusively refers to him as "my silvi" or any variant of his pet names for him.... :') he'd also probably lightly boast about various things silvi does (whether or not it's actually anything impressive/praiseworthy) and generally present him in a very flattering light lmao
Tumblr media
12: "Fame < Infamy" - Are there any unusual headcanons you have about your f/os?
i haven't really come across many headcanons about him so i wouldn't really know what counts as unusual haha....i'd say making him capable of falling in love with silvio might be unusual, but i've seen fanart depicting him in romantic relationships with other characters or just generally showing a "softer" side of him so it's probably also not that weird.....
as far as headcanons in general go, i kinda like to take some inspiration from his namesake (the commedia dell'arte character) and imagine that um...while he's genuinely very intelligent, he also has a somewhat overinflated ego (<- which is real and true even in canon i believe) and also likes to pretend he knows more than he actually does and sometimes likes to monologue about things he doesn't actually fully understand (which probably mostly concerns Human Things in his case?). silvio actually doesn't mind tho and enjoys listening to him because it's entertaining either way (plus he also doesn't really know shit) <3 also, even though i do wanna explore aforementioned soft side, i kinda don't wanna make him TOO nice lmao. i like when he's just being a pompous asshole and kills people :)
Tumblr media
15: "G.I.N.A.S.F.S." ("Gay Is Not a Synonym for Shitty") - Once you both fell for each other, did either of you start acting differently around the other? Or did either of you manage to act normal™ around the other?
AUGH i typed up something but accidentally deleted it somehow but it's ok it's fine (smiling thru the pain). anyway yeah to be honest i think not that much would change, at least outwardly. i think they also both don't really have this huge "oh wait i'm IN LOVE with him" moment, rather it's them being placed in a situation in which the possibility of them losing each other is suddenly very real (or rather silvio has already "lost" dottore once before), and it makes them realize how much they're actually scared of that possibility and how helpless it makes them feel. so if anything, i think they'd probably just try harder to protect each other and stick around each other more closely....i also think that dottore would generally be more shocked by the realization that he's capable of such feelings at all rather than falling in love with silvi in particular, so this is definitely something he needs to unpack first once they're in a safer place

Corva watched the household around her with curiosity and more than a little bewilderment. She set each new name carefully in her memory. Briar and Nevaeh were the two she had met the prior night, with Briar being the prickly redhead and Nevaeh the timid blonde.
Vincent was an elf. That was... discomfiting. She firmly reminded herself that she wasn't on Arcadia, and things here were different. This elf wasn't going to report her and get her hauled back to the lab.
Corva accepted a mug of tea from Vincent, making sure not to outwardly show her wariness. Inwardly, she dipped into her meager reserve of magic built from the night's rest to check the tea for poisons. When the check came back negative, she sipped it cautiously.
There were so many questions she wanted answers to, so many things she wanted to know about this strange place she'd found herself in.
"So..." she started, keeping her tone casual. "Melanie, you keep calling me 'child', but you hardly look older than me. How old are you, if I might ask? How long have your familiars been with you?"
That was normal conversation, right? Not too much like an interrogation?
It was probably fine.
Crossovers - Masterlist
May I offer you some lore? Also for context, Ducan brought the bread and come back already, just then Vicent would serve the tea.
=-=
Malanie laughed at the question, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, for a second going back long long ago, "Oh child, I'm wandering on this earth for... a really long time now, that old prick over there knows just how long."
Hannu gave Corva a small nod.
"Now, about how long I have my familiars..." She sipped her tea, "It's great as always dear, thank you."
"I'm glad you liked it," Vicent said with a smile.
"As I was saying, Hannu is with me since, well, since I was old enough to form a contract, he is an odd familiar."
"Odd?" Corva asked, trying to be causal and failing at it.
"How can I explain..."
"Do you know why people become familiars, Corva?" Cody asked, using the first opening to start a class. When Corva shook her head he started, "We, non-witches, have magical potential, and we can't reach this potential by ourselves, you see, we don't need to reach the peak of our potential, people can —and most do— live without trying to reach it. Most people have enough control over their power, and even if their power is not strong, they don't need a strong power. Not anymore, anyways, we needed it centuries back, but this is for another time, thing is, if we want to truly use our powers —or if someone has low control over them— we need witches-"
He was cut by Briar loudly placing his cup on the table, making Nevaeh flinch, "I want to go back," he said angrily, glaring at Melanie with just a hint of fear in his eyes.
"You two, as always, can go back to your room if you want," Melanie said with a soft smile, and the both of them left, Neveah shot back an apologetic look before vanishing from the kitchen.
"They are new," Melanie explained when she noticed Corva's eyes darting at the —now empty— seats, "They will get used to everyone with time."
"As I was saying," Cody continued, "We need witches, they use our energy, and we reach the power we want. Most familiars leave after this, after all, they already got what they wanted so there is no need to be linked to a witch anymore."
"That's right," Malanie said, "When I say Hannu is odd it's because he never left, nor does he intend to," Hannu didn't glance up from his seat, in truth, he acted as if no one was talking about him, "There are some that don't leave, Cody here for example, but he stays because my job and his interests aligning."
"I had many many familiars in my life, Hannu is the oldest, and from the ones that are currently with me, Vicent came first, this lovely child also doesn't seem to want to leave."
"You say this as if it was a bad thing," Vicent said playfully.
"Then came Cody, then Ducan," she gestured to the bored demon, leaning his head on his hands, "He has yet to reach the power he wants, as he isn't with me for so many years yet."
She sipped on her tea again, taking a deep breath, "Briar and Nevaeh are... special cases, and I can't say much about them apart from the fact that they aren't with me for long. I can't even tell if they reached their potential magic since they are mixed."
"Did this answer your questions?" Melanie asked, fully aware that she didn't tell her age, nor the exact amount of time each familiar is with her.

Backlog: Talking About Movies - Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (2022)
Originally I posted this somewhere else Dec 2022, but I'm trying to consolidate right now.
Sonic The Hedgehog 2. I actually did hear some spoilers for this one. Plus, it's taking a plot point from the game Sonic 3 & Knuckles. So I knew that going in. Still I can't lie. While the kid movie aspect is still there, I think the movie is good in spite of that.
Simply I think what held Sonic 1 back was its 90 minute run time and lack of...idk character variety? I guess? It was really just Sonic bouncing off of like, 2 actors. One being a normal ass guy. Didn't hate him though.
While here, well we have Tails and Knuckles.
I said the first movie didn't want to get bogged down in explanations and that hurt it. In this one, they don't explain EVERYTHING, but do a decent amount. The Owl thing was probably planned since the first movie to be explained in 2. Doesn't exactly color the first movie in a new light. But the elaboration in this movie is an improvement.
The jokes are also improved. Did I outwardly laugh? No. Still thought they were funnier.
But I just skipped Sonic and Tails dancing. The bar is probably the one part of the movie I just didn't care about because
1) There was already a similar scene in Sonic 1.
2) Cringe. Sorry.
3) SONIC HAS SUPERSPEED.
But I think that's the key here. For the most part, I did care. They set up a goal for Sonic to achieve. It's not just a fuckin car drive to a building in a city for some rings that means nothing to the villains. It is for the Master Emerald and requires multiple steps.
There are multiple callbacks. Not only to official Sonic lore or just game references. But to the previous movie. And I know that sounds simple for a sequel, I'm just saying its a point over Sonic 1 as the elements come together better.
G.U.N. is a thing now.
I think a criticism for this movie was either that the Sonic characters were the focus, or that the human characters were there at all. Its been hard to tell. But I can say right now, I had little issue with either party here. It's better than chainsaw dude from Sonic 1.
Just speaking in 2024 for a sec, there was a push in the 2010s in the Sonic fandom to suggest any human character besides Eggman is terrible to have in the franchise. I could care less about it. Keep the humans, discard them, whatever. The character could be a Koala or a Doorknob, all that matters is that they're well written or have a strong reason to be in the story. Far as I'm concerned with at least G.U.N., it's a plus that they're there. Especially with what the Sonic 3 movie is working on.
Still, the kiddy element is still there. Humans act like it's a kids movie and that means their screentime could've been a little less. And Sonic is a kid. How old is up for debate. The movie seems to think he's anywhere from 7 to 15. That vague window.
That means Tails is younger, of course, aaaand Knuckles.
Knuckles is weird to me. Because like, Idris Elba is cool, but I think the implication is that Knuckles is around the age as Sonic with that deep a voice. Possible I guess, but It's still odd to me. But I like his voice better than main Knuckles in Sonic Prime. For all that's worth given that show's reputation upon ending.
People may argue the movie is still too simple. But at the end of the day, there's barely Sonic media really diving into how Sonic, Tails and Knuckles would really initially team up character-wise. Outside of comics. (I was only a couple episodes into Sonic Prime when writing this and once again, reputation.) In most games, they're already friends. Before that, the story of how they met was told through sprites and manuals. So I appreciate this interpretation. Still, I think Tails could've use a little more time. Going from someone who didn't see himself as a hero, to fighting Eggman could've been focused on more.
Eggman works. Probably not in the most optimal way, but he works. Although it's Jim Carrey being himself like always. Got more of an Eggman feel from the last movie at some points. Swear by the credits of Sonic 1, he was attempting some kind of Pollock impression and just didn't follow up on it in 2. Still, I understood Knuckles & Eggman teaming up.
That Emerald absorption was kinda interesting. It plays a part to foreshadow Super Sonic and for a moment when you first see Eggman at the coffee place I genuinely went "Damn. What the fuck is Eggman about to do here?" Idk, it helped Eggman look more like a villain despite the comedy. It works.
...What didn't work were the visuals when he first grabbed the Master Emerald. That was off.
Should probably say something more about G.U.N. here. I did not expect them to be everyone at the wedding. This feels like one of those things that people will call obvious. I guess with that one scene with the groom's boys working out and the groom being played by Criminal Minds. But whatever. I can't predict everything. If that was obvious, flew over my head. The main human character is a damn cop and didn't see that shit coming. Fuck you want from me? I was just focusing on the damn Master Emerald the whole time.
But that does make me wonder. For the record, the G.U.N. shit is smart and it probably improves Sonic 1 as the government isn't just siting idly by. But you'd have to assume they probably didn't expect Sonic to show up where they were. So what was their actual plan there?
I guess the options are
A) They DID expect Sonic to show up eventually because he's that dumb.
B) That was all just a ploy to arrest Tom and Maddie away from Sonic. Or in the long term, infiltrate their family and ease Sonic into a false sense of security down the line to ensure his peaceful surrender. Maybe even taking the ring tech.
I guess it would have to be the long term idea if only Tom got taken in when things went south.
Now that I think about it, ring production just goes unexplained in this movie franchise. Pretty sure Sonic just drops a bunch at least twice in this sequel. When the initial bag of rings was so important, it was THE PLOT of Sonic 1. Like, is he picking them back up? Making new ones? Ultimately, it doesn't matter since Knuckles clearly has his own and Tails could probably build a teleporter or something.
Technically, this movie has the same ending as the first. As in "Sonic fake dies, but the power of love makes him stronger than ever." Same time, this one works better only because like I said, Super Sonic. It ties into the lore, and it was foreshadowed by Eggman absorbing the Emerald. Kinda wish it led to a more interesting fight at the end, but the movie had a good amount of fighting otherwise I'd say.
And, of course, the teaser. THAT I knew about. I've even seen the concept art pointing towards a much darker Sonic 3. Don't think it's gonna reach that level, but this movie convinced me it will do more than just have Sonic characters flossing. Idk how it works tho.
At the time I wrote speculation for what they could do with the movie in terms of making the lore fit that movie universe and what would happen in the 70s. Since then, things have leaked. I don't really remember much of it tbh so it'll still be fresh when I eventually see Sonic 3. So I'll just leave it at what I said without the speculation.
I said Idk how the third movie would work. Not even the fact that the man said G.U.N. was established after Sonic 1 (Then again, it could've been a revived project after 50 years). No, it's just that I don't think the movies established well enough that Sonic showing up on Earth was shocking, but they literally made Shadow.
There's room for this to make sense. It's an abandoned project from the 70s in the movie universe. And hell, it'd add an extra layer to how Robotnik worked with the government. But 50 years of Shadow probably means they wouldn't NEED Robotnik to stop Sonic.
The game lore is a whole different thing. Since Sonic is 100% established as a good guy in that world full of fast animals already. He's fighting Eggman, who the government doesn't side with. But even THEY have deterrents because of Shadow. Come on, Sonic gets jailed twice.
Let's sum this up. Is this what people wanted out of a Sonic movie? It's not perfect, but this is definitely in the right direction.
Would I watch it again? I talked about it this much, so obviously. Could I see a better overall movie out of this? Yeah. But it's good for what it is.

❛ you are deserving of masterful poetry, not mere words. ❜
CHEESY PICK-UP LINES // accepting --
it's very rare to catch Musashi in a state of speechlessness. more often than not, she knows how to keep the conversation going effortlessly, words coming as easy as breathing. perhaps she talks too much but she's never been fond of long stretches of silence and what is the use of spending time with someone if you don't fill it with talk? how else do you get to know someone better? of course, she never minds those comfortable silences. they differ from the cold ones and she knows that it is only human to want to sit with someone without feeling the need to talk. and if she is with someone she cares for, Musashi doesn't mind lowering her rather eccentric energy to accomadate those silences. it can be nice, feeling such a peace and calmness.
but even if that is what this was, there was no way she could ever be prepared for hearing that.
Tumblr media
Diluc doesn't say things idly. whenever he speaks, he's honest. it is meant. he's not the type to dance around something. that's just the sort of person he is. quite the opposite of Musashi. she has no problems lying or acting a certain way for another's benefit despite what she feels. hardly anything can get her to drop that bubbly optimism and very few saw what resided beneath it. but despite the nigh contradictory differences in the two, they were friends. (maybe she's just good at befriending the hardasses. a useful trait, she supposes.) and this...is a completely normal thing for one friend to say to another. completely normal. that is what she tells herself in those few seconds of silence. but, even so, it still causes her heart to, for some reason, stutter for just a split second.
outwardly, that almost permanent smile widens and a soft laugh falls from the Saber. in Musashi-style teasing, she bumps her shoulder against Diluc's arm (careful to keep her strength diminished. even limited, she still could easily send him flying. and that would be a bad idea.) " Come on now, it's rude to lie to a lady you know! " he meant it, she knows he did, but she treats it otherwise. " Poetry is wasted on someone like me. That's for those folks who don't spend their time getting into trouble and never sticking in one place. Besides, what would anyone even say about me in that sort of way? Can't say I've ever heard anyone wax poetically about me kicking their ass in a fight. "
she doesn't mean the words in a self-depricating manner, far from it. it is but an observation, one she felt confident in making. Musashi isn't a woman fit for masterful poetry. mere words fit her best. she is-- no, was-- but a travelling swordswoman just living it day by day until she eventually reached her ending. that is what she thinks she deserves. nothing more, nothing less. and perhaps it is rude of her to brush off what her companion says, but she has to. she has to because if she lets it sit in her mind, then she'll want his reasonings for it. she'll get curious, but it is a curiosity that she'll never satiate. sometimes....people just say what they think with no rhyme or reason. there's no cause for her to look at it any deeper than that.
but one cannot deny the way her smile softens for a moment. the way her gaze drops to the ground for a fleeting second, as if needing a pause from looking at him. and, if one looked close enough, they would find the faintest of pink dusting her cheeks. but it is all brief, for when her head raises again, it is gone. she laughs once more, a gentle twinkle in her eyes, her voice softening for a split second. " I think you're more deserving of masterful poetry. " and then, it is back to that lighthearted tone. "You dress the part, anyways. I bet you have some secret admirer out there writing a stanza as we speak! "

Hey, I was wondering how Tim would act around his crush?
Tim doesn't really outwardly change much when it comes to how he's acting around his crush. In fact, if you didn't know Tim all that well, you'd probably think he hadn't changed at all. Most of the changes do, however, only occur when the two of you are alone, after all, he can't have anyone knowing that he's becoming a softy, now, can he?
Which, he most definitely is. Tim is normally a firm, rigid, responsible person, but when he's with you that all goes slipping away. He's softer, he's a bit quieter, less firm. He's gentle with you, he smiles more around you. He touches you a bit more, placing a hand on your waist or your shoulder, leaning in when talking to you. It's subtle, but if you know him well enough, you'll definitely notice the change. He also grows more mischievous, joking around with you more, laughing with you more, perhaps even egging you on for a prank or two. It's different, and it's nice. He reveals his true self to you.
But, being the responsible adult that he is, Tim doesn't like to stay in the crush phase too long. Once he's 100% sure of his feelings, he's probably going to confess to you within the first month or so. He doesn't like to pine and think on "What ifs?", he'd rather just find out if you're interested in him too or not. He'd take you to a secluded place, and just straight up say it- "I really like you, and I'm interested. You don't have to say yes, but if you're interested in me too, I'd love to take you on a date sometime." It's quick, easy, and painless, and if you feel the same he's absolutely elated, and if not, he takes the rejection like a mature, grown adult. That's that.

Companions react to a random sexy times scene in a movie
Okay so in my head sole manages to get a TV to work and puts on a movie for them and their platonic/crushing companion, and about half way in there's a totally unexpected scene....
Maccready
*Chokes on drink* "Oh come on! I didn't need to see that..." que a very blushy and embarrassed merc.
Is very uncomfy. If he wanted to see adult content he'd go search for adult content some time when sole wasn't around.... he doesn't get why it's in the movie.... it's adding nothing to the damn plot
Idk about yall guys, but when I was younger and an "adult" scene would unexpectedly come on my parents would scrable for the remote inevitably drawing more attention and I could totally see Mac doing that.
Hancock
"Oh guess he's not a fan of foreplay.... Oh come on thats not how it's done. That poor lady can do so much better. Jeez sex ed apparently is a foreign concept to this sorry excuse for a lover...."
Judging the whole scene.... He wishes he could jump through the damn screen and give some pointers. By the time the scene is over sole is dying of laughter, and Hancock is disappointed in the underachieving boyfriend.
Cait
"What type of film are we watchin again? either way I'm not complaining..."
She'd be dramatically waggling her eyebrows. She doesn't really give a shit if it's in there. if anything it just causes her to focus on the movie more intently....
Danse
O.O "I- oh... um..."
The Paladin forgot how to form words temporarily and his face is redder than a tato. He's uncomfy and embarrassed to say the least.... Much like maccready he doesn't understand what this is adding to the plot...
Curie
"Oh what is going on-... Oh! Is this erm... normal to be on the television?"
Would cover her eyes. When asked why she'd say calmly "to give them some privacy". Sole of course finds that hilarious and starts laughing, which in turn makes Curie think the scene is over and something else is happening and when she uncovers her eyes and is greeted with the same image and she makes a sound in-between a screech and a squak making sole laugh even harder at her.
Deacon
"So this is the real reason why everyone watched TV before the bombs.... im not surprised, but I am disappointed in you sole... Ever heard of keeping it pg13? Seriously though if I was gonna lose my eye virginity to anyone I'm glad it's you" *Overly sarcastic shoulder pat*
He makes a whole dramatic scene himself acting as if what he just saw was the dictionary definition of vile, and then he starts smirking like a goddamn idiot. In reality he just feels awkward
Piper
"what the- OH COME ON BLUE WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU MAKING ME WATCH!?"
Once you convince her that no, it is indeed not what she thinks it is and that is safe to look she's pretty much fine and will happily watch the rest of the movie. Still though no matter what you say to try and convince her other wise she wholeheartedly believes it was your intention to about give her a heart attack mid movie. Even after you explanation you weren't expecting it either she still blames you and probably won't let you pick the movie for a very long time.
Nick
"Forgot how many scenes there were in old films. Heh, at least this one's tasteful unlike some of the things I've had the misfortune of seeing in my time...."
Hes an old man, he's seen it all. I'm sure he's had to watch some less than tasteful videos/holotapes he found well working a case that turned out to be anything but evidence. at the end of the day as long as there's not to much skin or excessive ridiculous moaning he's good.
Preston
"....."
He knows what's going on, but he's hoping if you don't know that he knows what's going on it'll somehow make this whole situation less awkward. That and he can't actual bring himself to say anything. This is not what he planned for movie night.... good thing he didn't bring a whole bunch of settlers like he had originally planned.
X6-88
"Ma'am/Sir might I ask why you're choosing to watch this with me?"
He's outwardly his usual stoic stone like self, but with a slight blush in his ears. He had meant for what he said to come out monotone like his words usually are, but it came out with far more nervousness then he intended. He's probably gonna wanna shoot some stuff after this. Probably best to let him go deal with his emotions the only way he knows how. violence.

Hey!! if your request is open, could i ask for a headcanon on sanji ace and zoro where they first see their jealous girlfriend then they are usually not? Sorry my English is bad..
Your English is fine dear, dw about it! Thank you for requesting ♡
Tumblr media
Sanji
Immediately notices and will hop, skip, and jump over to your side as soon as it happens.
He's naturally perceptive of women and with you he's even MORE attentive - after all, you're his most precious and loveliest woman in the whole universe!!!
Apologizes profusely even if he wasn't the one who's at fault (and let's face it, it probably wasn't, because while bachelor Sanji swoons over every woman, he becomes very devoted once a relationship has been established).
Hugs? Anything for you, his queen. Cuddles? All night long. Kisses? None of your skin shall be left untouched.
Will cook your favorite food and snacks as an additional form of his apology.
Basically gives you extra attention than normal, which is... A lot.
Oh well. At least you now know your jealousy was unfounded.
"My love, I wish I could kick myself to oblivion for making you feel this way.... I'm sorry. What can I do to make you feel better? Whatever you wish for, I shall provide, because my whole being exists solely for you!"
Tumblr media
Ace
Is shocked, because you don't usually show such expressions.
Assumes he probably fucked up really bad and proceeds to cling to you like a koala bear, asking you for forgiveness every once in a few minutes until you forgive him.
"Are you still mad?" "...." *barely 5 minutes later* "..... Are you still mad?"
When he sees that his behavior isn't helping the situation, he tries to earn your forgiveness by making you laugh. He'll make a fool out of himself if he has to - it's a cheap price if he can see your beautiful smile.
If this still doesn't work, this is where he starts to panic and second-doubt himself. Maybe he's not good enough for you after all. Maybe he doesn't deserve your love. Maybe you're going to break up with him over this and find someone better.
Depending on the state of your relationship, it could go two ways: he goes to his 'brothers' (aka the Whitebeard pirates crew members) for advice, or he goes to you and basically has a breakdown.
Mmm yes angst
In the first route, he would have gone to either Marco or Thatch, and they would see how panicked and insecure he was, which should prompt them to talk to you, advise you to settle it properly with Ace because man's a wreck.
In the second route, you'll be confronted with a very insecure, uncharacteristically sad Ace who's in the edge of having a panic attack, rambling about how he's sorry and he should've acted differently to not make you uncomfortable and he's sorry for being such an idiot and a mess and for being born - Just... Stop him and forgive this man, please?
Prepare to be smothered by a super clingy and anxious Ace for a few weeks afterwards. It'll take many cuddle sessions to get this boy up and running again.
Tumblr media
Zoro
Does not understand what's happening at first.
It takes him a while to understand why you were acting so differently than usual. Will require you to outwardly explain what you were feeling and why. Otherwise, the more sensible crewmate who was present at the scene and knows the full picture will have to explain it to him.
His first thought is that you're being childish (ouch). But when he sees that it's serious, he'll probably try to reach out and talk it out with you.
Zoro is one of the more mature and levelheaded members. Even if he doesn't express himself that much when it comes to love and isn't that well-versed in that area. But, he knows that communication is important in all kinds of relationships, so he'll make sure that you understand that you have no reason to be jealous.
He'll pull you into a private area to minimize interruptions, and sit you down so you two can talk it out. Which is saying something because Zoro doesn't talk about feelings, ever.
"Alright, listen up. Just like how Luffy is my one and only Captain, you're my one and only girlfriend, alright? I don't have eyes for anyone else, so just trust in me like how I trust you - and for the record, I'd trust you with my whole life, so take that as you will."

just curious— do you think jeremy blaire is the type to get jealous when the female reader talks / laughs with other guys ? or will he be insecure ? same question goes for miles.
it’s fine if you don’t want to write this heh
(happy valentines day here's jeremy blaire being the manipulative bastard he is lol. the day of love and all that.)
×
JEREMY BLAIRE
Jeremy is one manipulative bastard.
Honestly, I do think Jeremy is the kind of guy to get jealous when he sees you laughing and joking around with other men. Even if he tried to convey this image of being cool, calm and collected at all times, he internally panics when you're just enjoying time with another person who happens to be male. Toxic masculinity things and all that.
Even if you're not dating, he's obsessed with the thought of owning you. You caught his attention and now - now you have to suffer the consequences.
Outwardly, Jeremy will seem fine. But he will definitely try to insert himself into the conversation, making a point to brush up against you or pat you on the shoulder. Just to try and let you know you belong to him. He'll smile and nod at the other gentleman, maybe offer up some sharp observations about their manners and such. Squish them down a little bit. They're not good enough for you.
He thinks you belong to him.
You think it's awkward. Especially when you're not dating.
But if you're dating - oh boy.
He'll be openly touchy with you if he sees you striking up a conversation with another guy, settle his hand on the small of your back, pulling you closer to him as he acts like everything is fine, taking over your conversation with the guy, not letting you get a word in as he tries to push his "competitor" away with the sheer awkwardness.
Smirks triumphantly when the guy walks away. You just glare at him. This happens all too often.
And when you get home, he's sure to remind you what he thinks about your social habits.
He'll be very upset for no good reason.
But the way he shows his frustration at it all is not to take it out on you - not directly. He'll make you feel bad for him, with him giving you the silent treatment and being upset. It stems from his insecurity. And you have to be there to comfort him when he's the one who should be apologizing. But he'll justify it by saying he loves you too much.
Make up sex. With lots of hickeys to make sure everyone knows you belong to him.
He is a very jealous person simply because he thinks the world is his oyster and you're his personal plaything and should have eyes for him and only him.
×
MILES UPSHUR
Miles, on the other hand, respects and trusts you enough to not be too pressed about it.
Before you were dating, sure, he had that kind a jealousy we all have when we're crushing on someone. Irrational frustration at something that's normal.
He's always very joking about it, if it's a mutual friend or an acquaintance, he'll come up to you and adopt his best mafia accent and be all: "Is this fella bothering you, toots?"
Wholesome cringe.
Might go home and scream into his pillow though, because he wants that to be him. He wants to be the one you're so close to. Sure, you do talk a lot with him, text him a lot, slap his arm when he tells a crude joke, sometimes you bite your lip when you look up into his eyes as he's telling you about his new project, all passionate... Wait. Was he overthinking it? Maybe you did like him better than anyone else? Maybe?
Miles is kind of a confused mess.
But if you start dating, he calms down, because he doesn't need to take it seriously.
He doesn't own you.
He trusts you when you say that he's your one and only. Because he treats you as an equal.

Hello about your post about human version of happiny could we see how everyone would react to that since we had a scenario of happiny talking so why not in human version ignore if you want or are to busy
there was an ask that has Happiny as a human, but I don't mind writing more about it!
We all know how Deuce reacts to Happiny becoming human: tears from seeing his baby. It really makes him feel like a dad when Happiny clings to him with excitement.
He does his best to put Happiny's bow on, but he introduces little barrettes in the form of card suits to make things a little easier when her hair doesn't want to stay up in a ponytail. Happiny trails after her Daddy and sees Uncle Ace.
Happiny: "Uncle Ace!" *hugs his leg*
Ace takes one look at her: "Again? What happened?"
Deuce: "We'll talk about it after school. C'mon, Happiny, let's get you breakfast."
When Riddle sees the little child beside Deuce, holding onto his pants leg like a familiar little bun that wasn't around, he just tells Deuce to go and find Soni to figure out what to do.
Happiny waves: "Hi, Mr. Riddle! How are you?"
Riddle: "I'm fine, Happiny."
Cater takes pictures of Happiny acting silly in the dorm and saves them to the Happiny folder. Trey just handles Happiny very well, ensuring that she was well-fed and clean as she played in the rose garden. As expected of an older brother.
When Deuce finally showed up at Ramshackle with Human Happiny, Soni just took one look at him and just took Happiny into her arms. "Okay, you're going to stay with Mama until you return to normal."
Happiny: "Huh? Why?"
Soni: "You remember the last time you became a human? You couldn't fit in Daddy's bed and you had to stay with me?"
Happiny grabs her Mama's jacket: "Can't Daddy stay here then?"
Soni: "Ask your Daddy and Riddle for permission."
Safe to say, Happiny was giving Soni puppy dog eyes the whole way to class. Because Happiny is a human child, she needs protective gear for the stuff that they're using for potions. She does clap whenever something goes off in the classroom, usually an explosion.
Mob Student adding something to the pot: KABOOM!
Happiny: "Oooh! It's pink!"
One of the things that I don't know if I talk about enough with Happiny as a human is her abilities as a Happiny. I don't know if she's retaining her original strength, but if she is, then she's the strongest child in PE.
Vargas just laughs jovially as Happiny lifts him up like he's nothing and they actually do some exercises together. Whenever they go flying on brooms, Happiny has to put on a helmet. Because Ace was banned from flying Happiny by himself, he makes an argument that because it was PE Class with a whole bunch of other people, he should be able to fly with Happiny.
Deuce flies right behind Ace, just in case and Grim just zooms through the sky.
Grim blasting through the sky: "Nyahahaha!"
Happiny stares at the cat monster: "Why's Grimmy got the zoomies?"
Ace snickering: "I think you need to play with him more."
Happiny sees nothing wrong with this. "Okay!"
Grim doesn't really care much about Happiny's change into a human. This only means three things: his little henchman has opposable thumbs and can open doors more easily for him, she can open tuna cans for him, and the little henchman can carry him whenever he got tired.
Although if someone picks on Happiny and tries to take her lunch, someone's gonna get vibechecked immediately. Deuce is always nearby and Soni readying the ammunition to smack some sense into these high schoolers.
Sebek is the most surprising out of the first year group because he instantly puts Happiny to sleep with his storybooks & his reading. I feel like Sebek would treat Happiny like a little sibling when she's a human. Never as outwardly as the others, but he does care in his own way.
Just imagine some Diasomnia students wanting to pick on Happiny because of the oddity of a Pokemon having powers that are stronger than magicians.
Sebek is behind them: "Is this how Diasomnia students are supposed to act towards others?!"
Mob: "Wha-?! What's the croc doing here?"
Sebek crosses his arms: "ARE YOU WILLING TO MAKE A MOCKERY OF THE CHILD WHO'S RECEIVED THE INVITATION OF WAKA-SAMA?!"
When they run off, Happiny is scooped up into Sebek's arms and she just cries a little bit because of how scary they were acting.
Jack is the same, although in Savanaclaw, the students there know not to mess with Happiny because of the repeated instances of Magishift practice and what happens in Episode 2.
Crewel and Vil do team up to make Happiny clothes, which leads to a fashion show of sorts. Vil's not going to put makeup on Happiny because children's skin is very sensitive, but he does try to put her hair into different styles.
If there's one thing Happiny shares with Soni in human form, it's the expressions and she's unamused as her ribbon is removed from her hair.
When Happiny has to stay over at Ramshackle, the little bun goes up to Riddle and goes, "Can I sleep over at Mama's with Daddy?"
Riddle honestly can't deny Happiny's requests and allows it.
"Yay!" Happiny hugs him. "Thanks, Mr. Riddle!"
When Silver sees Happiny roaming around the Stables during the club times, she calls out to him as "Big Brother Silver" and Riddle just has the immediate urge to be called "Big Brother Riddle" in that instant before he thinks of it as a foolish thought to have.
Later when Happiny goes over to Riddle, she goes: "Let's go back to Daddy and Uncle Ace!"
Riddle: "Happiny, why do you call people by nicknames?"
Happiny does not know what Riddle means by that: "Because I wanna?"
Riddle wants to say something, thinking about earlier, and sighs. "Let's go."
Happiny takes his hand as they walk back to Ramshackle for the evening. Little mini events.

hi there. just wanted to come in here and scream at the top of my lungs that souvenir is one of my favourite works in recent memory. holy FUCK bro. daniel being So Outwardly Horny for max the entire time and max literally Being Blind was hysterical yet infuriating. also max thinking dan wants to kick him out of his flat when he has his dick halfway down his throat was just. Chef's Kiss
can you pretty please confirm that there will in fact be a next time i'm dying to know
ahhh! thank you so much!! i'm very glad you enjoyed my little fic. I really just wanted to do my best to capture that emotional and physical rush of getting a new tattoo and the feeling of looking at someone else's tattoo and just. wanting to touch. i think with max too - it's part curiosity as well as want, because he doesn't know how it feels. as ALWAYS thank you sooo much for this and THANK U for enabling me. i greatly enjoyed expanding on this in my head and now in this ask (i am incapable of being brief)
anyway the short answer to this question is YES there is a next time. i know everything i write has an ambiguous ending because like...nothing ever ends...no decision is an ending point...etc...but i SWEAR it works out. i BELIEVE in happy endings for my own sanity.
so i guess the next time is probably a couple months later (long enough to max to wrap it in shame and put it away and never think of it except when he's jerking off and even then he denies that it's daniel who flashes across the back of his eyelids) and daniel just immediately goes back to acting exactly normal and max is kind of mad about it because he can't DO that and he kind of resents how daniel can just. ignore what happens. but he also can’t really bring himself to turn away and ignore daniel because it’s daniel! because he’s max’s best friend on the grid anyway and he LIKES getting drunk with daniel and laughing at bad jokes.
its a house party at daniel’s (sorry 2 his fictional neighbors) and max is there for some reason idk and they get drunk and they’re out on daniel’s balcony and daniel puts his hand on max's arm but doesn’t say anything. and max just turns to look at him and before he can think about it, he kisses daniel. at first daniel doesn't kiss back and it’s miserable etc but then! and daniel opens his mouth, and its wet and messy and kind of terrible and they go back inside without talking about it, max’s heart beating loudly in his ears, and daniel goes to mingle, to kick everyone out, and max decides - oh, he should leave too. but then he’s the only one left in daniel’s apartment and the lights are on and there’s empty liquor bottles on the coffee table and daniel smells like fucking tequila that someone spilled down his front, and daniel is saying. you don’t have to go!
so max doesn’t because he’s drunk and he feels bad and he doesn’t want to leave anyway because he never wants to leave. And THEN they end up in daniel's bed and they're too drunk to do anything really except pass out and max's phone dies and when he wakes up its six thirty in the morning and his head hurts and they’re both all tangled together and he figures if he pretends he’s asleep daniel can’t make him leave. and then he DOES fall back asleep
when he wakes up daniel is like, looking at him, tired and gorgeous and looking his age, and daniel is like. you know i got that tattoo for you. because he’s been up for half an hour and thinking about it, thinking about how things are weird with max and how he’s the one who screwed this all up with coming on too strong, thinking he knew what max wanted, etc. and max is like, super bleary eyed and grumpy in the morning and is like. What. and daniel is like. on my knee. from last year. Max’s brain is like. still booting up but he’s like. No. what. I didn’t know. Does that - change something. And daniel is like. You idiot. You idiot. And kisses him even though they both have HORRIBLE morning breath and like u know how it is when your mouth is SO gross from a night out.
insert pwp here (handjobs i guess blah blah) max tries to be nice and make eggs but he oversalts them and daniel doesn’t say anything and then they have many more miscommunications until they get married and daniel gets a wedding tattoo that max picks out <3 and they have lots of married people sex
