Words: 1314

Summary: While Soldier Boy entertains ladies in his bedroom, Homelander shields you from their moans and takes you outside to look at the night sky.

btw, happy new year guys! :)

🌸Did you get enough love my little dove 🌸Well you do enough talk my little hawk

When Homelander started hearing the moaning coming from the other side of his bedroom wall, he immediately swings his feet out from under his blankets and bolts out of his bedroom and over to your room. Within the next few minutes Homelander knew that the moaning and other noise will just get louder and louder. He had a short amount of time to get you out.

Over his arm is hung a bulky pair of headphones and a warm blanket.

You stir when you hear your door open, lifting your sleepy head up from the pillow. "What're you doing?"

"Dad has one of his. . . lady friends over. So you know what that means."

All sleep evaporated from you when you register what this entails. "We're gonna go visit the stars!"

He has to stop you in your excitement from running out of your room. "Hold on. Slippers and coat." Homelander forces you back around after he puts the headphones over your small ears.

You follow him out, unaware of the sound of skin smacking against skin that made Homelander's eartips redden from sheer embarrassment. Children shouldn't have to hear that. And damn his enhanced hearing that picked up every sharp note and shrill moan.

Outside was cast in a dark blue tint with just the moon and stars as the only light source. That was one of the good things about living further from most other neighbors. Less light pollution.

The woods in the back of your house was your playground. Countless hours spent out there with Homelander, living in your imagination and being just kids for once instead of weapons of mass destruction. You were free out there. The two of you could be whoever you wanted to. Vogelbaum, Edgar, not even Soldier Boy could follow you out there. Towering trees and scattering bushes was your sanctuary.

In the heart of it stood the little wooden shed you and Homelander had built as a type of playhouse. That was where you stored things that Soldier Boy would otherwise deem as nerd shit or something only pussies would do. Which you never understood what he meant by that and Homelander was never privy to tell you. You didn't need the same mentality that Soldier Boy had. Homelander wanted you to have an open mind. To not become a jaded person like their father.

There were folded blankets stacked off to the side for when you and Homelander have picnics or star gazing nights like this. Hidden between two blankets was the dismantled telescope Homelander had smuggled in as well as a few books on astronomy.

Homelander easily locates the bulky flashlight that they used to read their books late at night. While he's grabbing the books, you gather the blankets and telescope.

Shuffling out with arms full, you ask "Do boyfriend-girlfriends usually have lady friends?"

He frowns, really not wanting to answer. "What are you talking about?"

"Well" you smartly start, as if you knew all about the adult world "Dad is boyfriend-girlfriend with Crimson Countess, right? But then he has over his lady friends. And they make the same noise Crimson Countess ma-"

"Okay, okay. I get it." Hurriedly cutting you off, Homelander decides right there was a good enough spot to settle down in as he drops his books. He doesn't want to look at you as he fidgets around; pulling the telescope from the safety between the blankets. "No. Usually couples only see one another. No one else. It's called cheating when someone isn't loyal to their partner."

A soft breeze rustles the leaves around Homelander's ankles, startling him for a moment. You're seated on the blanket with another wrapped around your body to offer you warmth and watch him. "So dad is cheating on Countess?"

Damn Soldier Boy for making Homelander have to tell you these things that you shouldn't know about. With a meticulous touch, he connects the telescope's sleek metal components, each piece fitting together like a perfect puzzle.

After extending the tripod, Homelander bashfully nods. "Yeah. He cheats on her. . ."

You're quiet, ruminating over what this meant which your brother is grateful for. He hated ruining the tint of your rose colored glasses. If Homelander had it his way, you would always stay sweet and innocent with no bad thoughts in your head.

Adjusting the focus on the eyepiece, Homelander tests it out on the starry spectacle above. "It's all set. Here, look. I think I see the sagittarius constellation. Or. . . maybe its scorpius. . ." He balances the flashlight in the crook of his arm to reference the book he held with his hand.

"Is cheating normal?" Sounding so small in that moment, he turns his attention over to you. Your little brows were scrunched together. Disney princess movies definitely didn't involve this. The prince always got with the princess in the end. They never divulged what happened after the movie was done. Did Prince Charming actually cheat on Cinderella after that beautiful ending?

Firm hands land on your shoulders and looks you square in the eyes, holding it with sincerity. "If a guy ever cheats on you I want you to laser his face off. You want someone who'll be utterly devoted to you."

"Oh, so someone like you?" You instantly come to that conclusion with a bubbly smile. He was the only person to ever display such characteristics in your life. Soldier Boy tend to leave you and Homelander to your own devices many days of the week. In the morning sometimes there'd be signs that he hadn't come home at all. Homelander was all you had.

He wants to agree with you, wants to tell you that you should just stay by his side for the rest of your life. That was his ultimate dream. For the two of you to always be together.

There were always moments in his day when Homelander would be looking at you, the apple of his eye, and remember that once you grow up you may decide that it was time to part from your older brother. Get out from under his protective wing to explore what the world had to offer by yourself.

A day where you would no longer need him.

Out there by yourself there was potential for harm to befall you. Not physical harm, he doubts you'd let anyone lay a hand on you. Emotional harm was what worried Homelander most. If a guy were to break her heart, he'd pulverize them without question.

You were like his bright moon among a never ending void of darkness.

"Yeah. Someone like me." Homelander finally replies, hoping his melancholy didn't surface to his face.

Looking through the telescope, you marvel at the shimmering lights of the stars that hung over you. "Some day I want to try flying all the way up there." Your breath comes out in a small white puff from the cold.

That was something you always said. "I know you will."

Pulling away from the telescope, you have a hopeful smile lighting up your face. "And you'll be there with me, right? I don't want to do it alone."

Before he could reply, a haunting melody emerged—a distant echo that had you forgetting about the telescope and running to Homelander's side.

"What is that?" you whisper into his arm.

Homelander had heard the call before though and simply chuckles at your cute reaction. "That's from a loon."

"A loon?"

"It's a type of bird that sometimes likes to come out at night." Homelander motions for you to be quiet so you could hear the mournful symphony as another loon adds it's voice somewhere in the distance. Each call was a lyrical punctuation.

He lets you marvel in it before the calls died down, returning the forest once more to a still quiet.

I'd go to the moon with you, my little loon.

Thanks for reading!

[captain-mj]

Sorry I drank a bit more than I wanted/should have and this message is going through a translator so if it's incomprehensible ignore me.

But the last few days have been a lot for me, that's why I can only now bother you with my questions, I said it before I want to bother you now and then with my questions but I'm sorry it took so long (the simple farmer here btw)

Do you remember Mage Horangi and the monster König that was very nonverbal.

If you're interested how about cocky horangie who roams around the common living area without any underwear and König who tries his best to keep it together but in the end doesn't.

🙂❤

Hopefully this is the one you meant! Nice to see you again farmer!! And you're never bothering me friend!! Part 1 even though it can be read as a stand alone

(I'm sorry if this isn't it, it's just the only post I could think about that matched your description)

König watched Horangi like a hawk. He watched the way he moved around the area, hips swaying.

The only thing he had on was a short robe. It went to his upper thighs and that was it. He also left it open, chest and thick fucking thighs right there for the taking.

König wanted to be good. He was a guest in this home. A pet or decoration. Right now, he had clothes on. Fancy ones. Horangi was trying to civilize him apparently.

It wouldn't work. Especially when he acted like this. Whatever cruel and unusual punishment this was for, he'd stay strong.

Horangi was a good actor. He bent over the desk and the robe pulled up to show his beautiful ass. Gorgeous and soft. Perfectly shaped to fit in König's hands.

He shouldn't. Horangi would scold him.

His voice droned on and on. Usually, König would be enraptured, hanging on every word, but all he could think about was fucking into him. Not letting up when Horangi whimpered or told him he was too sensitive. Working him over until König felt satisfied with himself.

Horangi smirked up at him. "Pervert."

König didn't like that word. Horangi called him that a lot. His fingers twitched.

"If you ask, maybe I'll say yes."

König bit his tongue.

"Shame."

Horangi pulled away. He went to do other things. Flaunting his body.

König plotted. Something he rarely did anymore. Most of the time he could relax in Horangi's home and enjoy himself. But that didn't make him any less sneaky.

So he kept the oil he'd need on him. Just in case.

Horangi continued. He laid on the couch that König liked sitting on with his robe open. The book in his hand must've distracted him enough for him to not notice König approaching. And that König had once again ditched the fancy clothes he had been shoved in.

His soft underbelly sat on display. Beautiful. Perfect to bite.

So König did. He ignored the panic from Horangi in exchange for put his legs over his shoulders and biting more at his soft belly. Horangi started to hit him and thrash but he kept him steady. His tongue flicked out to lick over the scars and now freshly bruising skin.

"You perv!! Don't to-"

König licked up his cock and Horangi quickly moaned instead. He huffed for a moment longer before motioning for König to just continue.

Happily, he kept licking. Slowly taking maybe an inch into his mouth before pulling back when Horangi tried to buck up further. He bent him in half, ankles by his head, with one of his hands and glared down at him, hood only making him more menacing.

Horangi flushed all the way down as he looked up at him, clearly not expecting that.

König pulled the oil out and poured it over his hole, watching it drip down his stomach and then down his back. Carefully, knowing that Horangi needed to be warmed up, he started to push in one of his fingers, watching him take it. He started to squirm but König gave him a glare that made him settle down.

With all of the oil, the slide was easy. Horangi groaned as König worked him open, getting his finger in further and further.

"Tight."

"Just wanted you to ask for it! To talk!" Horangi hissed before breaking out into a whimper as König slid a second finger into him. He felt so warm and tight. Perfect for the taking. His hole clenched around him as he forced himself in deeper and deeper. He pressed his prostate and watched Horangi writhe.

Once he felt he had done his due diligence, he pulled his fingers out and put his hands on his ankles, keeping him pinned in this position. He rubbed his cock against his body, not quite pushing in, but enjoying the warm slick slide of it.

Horangi tried to angle himself, to do anything to get the upper hand so he could be fucked how he wanted. König simply smacked his thigh and kept rutting, enjoying himself. He purred and then finally pushed into Horangi. The tight walls and heat made him groan as he tried desperately to fit the rest in.

"König." Horangi whimpered just a little and clenched around him.

It was harsh. Fast. König claimed him. Wanted to own him inside and outside. He thrust in harder and harder into him. Finally, finally, he got all the way inside him. Spearing him open.

Horangi wailed as he finally slid home and pressed right against his prostate. He bit his lip, eyes unfocusing.

König licked at his mouth until Horangi let him get entry, moaning as his tongue pushed into him. They moved in tangent now instead of König controlling him. He tried to thrust back into each one, desperate to let him further in. To be claimed.

The robe ended up on the floor where it belong as König lazily kept thrusting, hand tangled deep in his hair to keep him still. He enjoyed the tight and wonderful feeling. Enjoyed the connection between their bodies.

Little kisses pressed against each other's hot skin. Warmth. Pleasure and harsh taking in equal measures.

Horangi held on to König's. His nails digging deep into his skin. He started to pant and whine, clearly getting closer and closer. Lost in the feeling.

König loved the power he held over him. The way he could string him along. He didn't tease, even though Horangi deserved it. He didn't have the patience either. Wanting to come there and then. Now. Now. Now.

König stroked Horangi slowly and he spilled immediately, covering his chest. He came inside him, feeling it drip out around his cock.

"Gorgeous."

Horangi huffed and looked up at him. "You too, big guy."

[pissfizz]

beams you. hello zip my swaggy friend zip i also have to say you def have piqued my interest and am curious to what animorphs is abt !! ive always known abt the books but im very curious :]c

ramble as much as you want i am listening

HAHAHAHAHHA YES YESSSSSSSS

OK SO. Animorphs is simply put, a war story. A sci-fi war story about child soldiers. Pretty much, there’s a bunch of alien races and one of them is called the yeerks. The yeerks are gross little slugs that crawl in your ear and take control of your body. They have successfully taken over many species, such as the taxxons (who are willing hosts) and the hork-bajir (unwilling hosts). They have now moved on to humans, and taking over earth. The andalites, another alien species, are trying to stop them. One andalite crash lands on earth in an abandoned construction site one night before five 13 year old kids, Jake, Rachel, marco, Tobias, and Cassie. He gives them the ability to morph into any animal they can touch, a technology created by andalites, and begs for them to help stop the yeerks. The andalites will not be reaching earth soon enough to stop them. Then the yeerks come down and eat him alive. So these five kids experiment with their powers before realizing like. This is worse than they ever could’ve imagined. It’s important to note that morphing gives you a two hour time limit. If you’re in something else’s shape for longer than that, you’re stuck, forever. Almost immediately, the character Tobias (my favorite btw but that’s irrelevant) gets permanently trapped in the body of a red tailed hawk and loses his morphing powers. He’s like… a cautionary tale for the other kids but his own plot line revolves a lot around like. What is humanity and who am I and who do I want to be? There’s a lot of deep themes such as the exploration of trauma, child soldiers who are forced to fight in a war, morality and the willingness to do bad things, and how there is no true good and bad guys in war, among many other things. But it’s also buck fucking wild like there’s a race of pacifistic android dogs, and they time travel and kill Hitler at one point, Rachel has an allergic reaction to crocodile DNA and has to like vomit it up, the yeerks get high off maple ginger oatmeal, god is a twitch streaming goose, and so much more.

Overall amazing fucking book series, I won’t spoil anything for those of you who want to read it, but it’s so so good. Keep in mind that despite the content it IS intended for elementary schoolers so the writing is fairly easy and simple and the humor can sometimes be a bit immature but honestly it adds to sending home that these are literal CHILDREN and. Yeah. It’s really good. All the books are legally free online by permission of the author herself and if anyone wants the link I will gladly give it ushsjsgsjsh.

Those of you who do read it tell me EVERYTHING

#IM SO HAPPY PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED ITS SO FUCKING GOOD #there’s about sixty books but most of them are 100 pages or less and I’ve gone through them very fast #asks #animorphs

[tobias-fell]

hello can I request a book rec please if you have one? anything with funky worldbuilding that's just a little bit Odd, whatever this means specifically can be up to you c: usually I lean towards low-ish fantasy/sci-fi in a modern-day setting but anything goes tbh! bonus points for neurodivergent or queer characters, but not a necessity :D

Hello hi good australiatime! I can indeed give some Odd book recs.

- I think you've said you read the raven cycle already, but the dreamer trilogy (starting with "call down the hawk") is in the same universe and just as weird!! It really focuses on the dreamer magic, which imo is cool as hell. (and if you Haven't read TRC, you'd like that one as well. it's very weird) (this is queer btw)

- the welcome to night vale books! there's 3, i think. I'm pretty you've listened to the podcast, so you might like those. (queer as well iirc)

- the darkest part of the forest by holly black. it's just got some really cool and weird faeries in it, I like them a lot lol (and it's queer!)

- all the crooked saints by maggie stiefvater! bc i Have to mention her all the time in every list ever. it's pretty low fantasy/magical realism, it's the world but..... Weird. with some nice little miracle powers.

- sal and gabi break the universe by carlos hernandez! admittedly this is a more middle grade book lol (think percy jackson) but it's about multiverses!! and cracks in reality!! so i think that is your kind of thing!! (The main character starts using multiverse powers too much and Weird Things Happen.)

- this savage song by victoria schwab! I haven't actually read this one yet, but it's on my list. it's about music monsters that steal people's souls by playing violin, which certainly seems like unique worldbuilding. (also i believe one of the main characters has anxiety.)

#i hope this list is in some way good!! i just kinda. stared at my bookshelf for 30 seconds and wrote down what i saw #asks #logan #book recs #yes yes its more a kids book but i do think youd like the premise of sal and gabi #its just. very fun. very funky

[matronaa]

[2] (this one is my favorite) kinda shy!reader too bc im an introvert with poor socials skills heheh. the reader works with hawks. it can be quirkless reader btw. she keeps a sketchbook where she draws when she get bored at work. one day she drops/leaves it at the office by accident. hawks picks it up but before returning to her he sees sketchs of him and/or his wings. he teases the hell out of the reader but it ends up rlly cute. fluffy fluffy

a/n: this was kinda fun for me to write bc I'm also shy and introverted and I love to occasionally draw so these requests were 10/10 tysm lmk if you have any other requests :))

You were Hawk’s personal assistant. You really wanted to be a hero and help people, but of course that wasn’t exactly easy to do when you didn’t have a quirk. You settled for helping the 2nd top hero, Hawks. Not that you were complaining, though. You had a tiny crush on Hawks, honestly most would just see it as admiration for his hero work. Yeah, he was really nice with fans, and tbh gave the best fan service, but when you were alone in his office he was even softer and more friendly. Somedays you’d spend the entire day chuckling with each other, getting distracted from the mountain of paperwork you had. Other days you sat across from him and had in-depth conversations about almost anything.

You were kinda shocked at how close you guys were since you were typically introverted and didn't have the best time talking to others. me too sis its okay we can struggle together. You and Hawks just seemed to click. Even when you were shy and awkward the first few days of working with him he made sure to reassure you that there was nothing to worry about. In no time you were talking with each other as if you had been friends forever. 

Of course he is still your boss, so you typically chatted about topics that were work-related. You knew not to pry into his personal life and he respected your privacy. One of the things you never really talked about with him was your love for drawing. You didn’t draw as much as you used to, but in high school that's all you did. It was just so calming for you and was a good outlet since you weren’t the best at voicing your emotions. 

Hawks knew you had a sketchbook. On days you didn’t have much work to do, you’d come into Hawk’s office and sit in a chair in the corner to draw. The office was lively, so often times your coworkers would be a little loud. You appreciated their energy, but sometimes you wanted some peace and quiet yk? 

One day, you’re sitting in your little corner chair when someone knocks on Hawk’s door. He mumbles a ‘yes?’, not looking up from the paper he was reading. Your coworker, Lisa, peeks her head in. 

“Is Y/n in here?” She asks, the door still halfway closed.

“I’m right here, Lisa.” You smiled up at her as she turned in your direction. 

“Hero Ground Zero wants to make an appointment with Mr. Hawks, and I know you’re in charge of his schedule.” She said and you nodded in response. “He’s on hold right now.”

You sighed as you stood up, placing your sketchbook on the chair beneath you. You followed Lisa out of Hawks's office and to the phone with your planner in hand.

After a 3 hour conversation because king explosion murder kept yelling at you to get an earlier appointment, you finally booked him in for a week from now. You ran your fingers through your hair as you looked at the time. You could finally go home. Normally work wasn’t tiring but that call drained all your energy. You packed up your laptop and planners from your office before going next door to Hawks. You knocked three times before quietly opening the door. He was still as his desk, doing paperwork. He looked up at you and gave you a tired smile. You go to offer help but he cuts you off. 

“I’m good, y/n, go home and get some rest.” He yawned. “I’m almost done. 

You nodded and said your farewell as you closed the door, heading home for the day. 

Hawks was lying. It was 6 pm and he knew he wouldn’t get done for another 3 hours. He groaned as he finished signing another paper, his wrist aching from writing so much. He decided to stand up and stretch his legs, proceeding to pace around his office. He lifted his arms in a big stretch, his wings unfurrowing and spreading behind him. As he began to come down from the euphoric high the stretch brought him ya’ll know what im talking abt that GOOD stretch yfm something caught his eye. There was your sketchbook. He really fought the urge to look through it, he really did. But curiosity killed the cat and big bird picked up the sketchbook. He giddily skipped back to his desk before sitting right on his paperwork he had to finish. He opened the book to find a really talented drawing of a guy. With wings. Wait is that him? 

It wasn’t like you were obsessed with him and the whole sketchbook was him, but there was an occasional sketch of his profile or him at his desk. There were even a few colored pictures of him and his beautiful red wings. He found it amazing how well you could draw, and honestly was a little jealous. 

The next day you came in a few minutes earlier than normal. You noticed as soon as you got home the day before that you had left your sketchbook at work, but you were too tired to drive all the way back to get it. You reached Hawk’s office and knocked three times before opening the door. 

“Hey Hawks, have you seen my sk- ahhh,” You paused as you found your sketchbook in his hands, and a stupid grin on his face. “Don’t-”

“Hey, little secret admirer.” He teased, standing up and walking around his desk to hand you the book.

“It’s not like that,” You pouted, snatching the book away from him. He chuckled before patting your head. 

“Sure it isn’t, Birdie.” Your face flushed at the nickname. “But you should show me your art more often, it’s amazing.”

He ruffled his fingers through your head before squeezing past you out the door, leaving you to tend to your racing heart.

[before-the-black-pearl]

I made those modern Jack and Fitzy headcanons over a year and a half ago. I started writing a modern!AU fic since then so I developed the headcanons more and I wanted to share some of them. Keep in mind this may be a little different than what I present in the actual fic. I’m making some shit up on the spot.

So picture this: The young Jack Sparrow books taking place today and all the characters are in high school in Tampa, Florida, and the school is called...

Barnacle High School

Jack the “I was at the door when the bell rang” Sparrow:

He’s one of The Boyz🥶🥵😎 But like the stupid kind who thinks they’re better than everyone else.

He’s a troublemaker and creates a lot of mischief around campus.

Mischief includes but not limited to: pulling the fire alarm multiple times, drilling holes between the boys and girls gym locker rooms, defaced a bunch of textbooks with The Boyz drawing dicks on every single page, one time he snuck into the office and played pr0n on the schoolwide intercom speaker, a time he gave everyone “shits and giggles” (laxative and weed) brownies at a school dance and caused everyone to shit and puke all over the gym floor and it made the news,..... How tf isn’t he expelled?

Unsurprisingly he gets in fights. The fights are half of the time started by other students, but gets in trouble anyway.

Constantly interrupts the teachers to the point where they write him up or kick him out.

Sometimes fucks with the quiet kids like “Hey, mate, do you know what we’re doing?” “Can you like teach it to me?” “You can do it for me, right?” “Why don’t you ever talk, mate?”

He’s actually pretty smart but the teachers don’t like him and home sucks so he gave up.

Probably has ADHD.

Wears layers, like leather, denim, flannels, t-shirts, hoodies, jeans of various “tightness”, studded belts, many pairs of combat boots or knockoff timbs. Half his shit is from Goodwill.

Undercuts for dayyyzzzz. Think Coming Storm cut but the bottom is shaved off.

Still wears his nasty ass bandana even though the teachers always tells him he can’t wear it in class.

His makeup literally always slaps.

He likes to collect random things and sometimes puts them on his clothes or his backpack or in his locker.

Obsessed with dead things (furs, pelts, bones, stuffed animals, etc)

Has a fascination with the sea and likes the nautical aesthetic.

Bonus: Yeah he totally vapes.

Arabella the “Shut up and let me work” Smith:

She’s the “good kid” and sometimes the “quiet kid.” Jack definitely fucks with her in class sometimes until she pops off and they both get written up.

She’s an honors student and exceeds well in her classes.

She’d rather blend in with the crowd and not many students really notice her. She keeps herself contained in a small group of friends.

If she’s not with her friends, she’s probably in the library.

She’s really into Art and History.

Kind of a conspiracy nut and likes reading into urban legends and stuff.

Infodumps about her interests to Jack and he gets hella annoyed.

Jack sometimes follows her around and she gets hella annoyed but she gets sad when he’s not around.

Mediates between Jack and Fitz.

Jack and Fitzy fight over her. Jean has shown a little interest in her too.

She ate the “giggles” from Jack’s brownies. She got so fucked up she had a panic attack and left the dance really early before all the chaos began in the gym.

Kinda looks like she hasn’t really left 2015...like basic white girl with knit sweaters and cardigans, t-shirts and tanks, leggings, boots or sandals, etc. Sometimes also wears hoodies and jeans.

Headbands and beanies and cottagecore-like bandanas.

Yeah her makeup slaps too.

She works for her father after school at the Tortuga Tavern, formerly named Faithful Bride before it was forced to change to something more “PC.”

Fitzwilliam the “My uncle is the principal” Dalton (the third):

Basic snobby rich kid.

President of every “snobby kid club”; the Chess Club, the Key Club, the Student Council, and Yearbook.

Also an athlete and is in the school’s track team and soccer team.

Is in a clique with his equally snobby friends.

Yeah but he’s like hella proper.

He’s well educated and knows several different languages.

Hella ignorant about certain shit tho.

Big fuckin FLEXER with his expensive name-brand clothing and tech.

Lies about being friends with celebrities and online influencers and shit.

Ate one of the “shits” brownies....Just leaving that to the imagination until I make a one-shot.

Drippin’ Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Coach, etc... Literally like full fucking tracksuits, knit sweater over button-up combo, fancy coats, name-brand t-shirts, jeans over hundreds to thousands of $$$, shoes costing almost as much as rent.

The pocketwatch from the books is a fancy golden $30,000 Rolex wristwatch.

Jack keeps taking his watch.

Wears his hair up in a manbun like it’s still 2015 and Jack keeps teasing him about it.

Yeah got like a brand new iPhone and and iPad and a really expensive laptop and an iWatch even though I already got a regular watch on my other wrist.

Jean the “I swear to god she’s like my sister” Magliore:

Y’all know it, he’s in the Anime Club.

Jean and Tumen are best friends, and in my story, foster brothers.

Likes video games and always has his Nintendo Switch with him.

Internet memelord and low key has “band kid” energy.

Always be sending Tumen or the “Barnacle Crew” group chat memes.

Being from New Orleans is a personality trait and is very enthused with his Creole roots and loves creole dishes.

He runs a foodie Instagram account with a large following. Self proclaimed foodfluencer.

Sometimes sells candy and chips at school. Gets in trouble for it.

Yeah he ate multiple brownies at the dance....

Jean has a cat Constance, named after his deceased sister, he brings to school hidden in his backpack.

Constance will literally eat just about everything, mimics human noises, and her expressions are very human-like according to Jean. Her traits are so much like his sister, Jean believes she is his sister born as a cat in a new life.

He made Constance her own Instagram account.

Jack HATES Constance. Constance LOVES Jack.

Hoodies, jeans, headphones, beanies.

His hair is the same but a bit shorter.

“Suspiciously quiet kid” Tumen:

The quiet kid sitting in the back of the class and drawing while listening to music.

He is also in the Anime Club with Jean.

Since Jean is into video games, Tumen is a weeb.

Jean is the only person he really hangs out with at school.

Tumen doesn’t have a phone in my fanfic but for the purpose of this headcanon and the group chat, he does have one.

He’s more of a “lurker” in the GC.

Jean’s #1 meme reactor.

He watches anime crack videos.

Tumen is the most “immature” than the others since he’s the youngest.

The only one who didn’t eat the brownies. Got interviewed on the news.

He takes pride in his Mayan heritage.

Has a random interest in geography and wants a career as a cartographer.

Anime t-shirts and hoodies galore.

Always has his hood up in class.

Teachers always telling him to put his hood down.

Tim “the newbie” Hawk:

He eventually transfers to Barnacle High.

I don’t have a full headcanon written for him yet.

Principal Lawrence Norrington:

Principal of Barnacle High.

Fitzwilliam’s uncle.

HATES Jack Sparrow.... Again how tf is Jack not expelled?

Brings his kid James to work sometimes even though the kid should be at school himself.

Jack sitting in the principal’s office in trouble again and James keeps bugging him. “Do you play Fortnite?” “No. Beat it, kid.”

Tia Dalma:

The school nurse.

Jack is buddies with her and he goes to her and pretends to be sick when he wants to ditch class.

Has crab parts in jars in the cabinets. No one questions it.

Joshamee Gibbs:

The janitor.

He’s in the Navy but he’s on off-duty employment.

Jack is buddies with him too.

He writes Jack fake doctors notes or signs permission slips or covers for Jack when he’s ditching, in exchange for booze Jack has at home.

He had to clean up the gym after the brownies incident ☹️

I don’t know how to write Davy Jones into this.

For the sake of this headcanon, it would be funny if Torrents was like a science teacher or something. Or if Madame Minuet was like an economics or math teacher. Or if Silverback is an English teacher. Or if Left-Foot Louis is a PE teacher and he’s all running in circles because he’s got two left feet lol.

Btw all these teachers HATE Jack 😂

Tagged by @hyena-frog. Thank you, lovely!

Last song: Dancing After Death- Stripped, Matt Maeson. I feel like everytime i do one of these I end up listing a song from the Vesriel Playlist and that just tells you how much time I’m spending on this stupid story

Last movie: Vice. A little late to the party. It reignited my drive to get into the national security sector, promote diplomacy instead of using the military as our main instrument abroad, reigning in war powers, integrating human rights into foreign policy, so that’s good. It also made me go back and listen to lectures on Clausewitz, like a nerd. 

Currently watching: Merlin. Yes, the old BBC one, lol. I was late to the party again. 

Currently reading: Re-reading The Wicked King, but I’m going to move to Axiom’s End next. I also got Call Down the Hawk for the holidays and I need to get to that at some point.

Physical books: Okay, no one knows what this questions refers to, but yes. I have a stack of physical books I need to read. I like physical books, but it’s also really nice to have an e-book. I get it on the day it comes out, it’s more transportable in some instances, it takes up less room, etc. 

Fics: Oh? You want a list of my fics? You want to look at my AO3 profile, VivereLibri? You want to hear about an angsty second son who must break the careful rules he’s created, the rules that say he must push everyone away, in order to simply survive and protect someone who is helpless and needs him? You want to hear about Sabina, a character who exists in only a few lines in Red Rising, a woman who is terrified and seduced by a fate that she cannot escape? Can I tell you about the Heir, the prodigy, who is so afraid of his own potential that he won’t even explore it? Or the youngest child, gifted with absurd amounts of power, who accidentally wanders into people’s minds, who projects her emotions, who had so much more trouble living in a crowded world and expressing any sort of vulnerability? How much do you want to hear about what lies beneath the tip of the iceberg and all the fics I don’t have published yet?

Or...was this question about other’s fics? Can I go on and on about @hushedhands and The Laws of Inheritance and The Thing with Feathers, which turns a meh series into something with better worldbuilding, better characters, real stakes, and Oldest Daughter feelings that routinely make me too emotional? Or @thespianbooks, who’s doing a ACOTAR fic about Rhys and Feyre and their first child and war, a turbulent mix of violence and conflict with the brightest moments people can experience when expecting a child? Or @duskandstarlight who is writing about Nesta and Cassian and revealing the characters to me and, truly, might end up producing something that is slow and meaningful and complete and dare I say it might transcend canon. I could go way back and tell you about the other fics that I can’t stop thinking about, Weave Me a Myrtle Crown for instance, where, well...where @weavemeamyrtlecrown comes from (that’s my main blog, btw).

I’ve ranted a lot.

I like fanfic. 

Currently craving: Sooooo, I was craving something sweet. So I made myself a mug cake. It was a lot of mug cake. That was a mistake. 

Tagging everyone up there ^^^, as well as @hoe-for-ares, @artemisausten, @fandomoverflow, @zeynohayta I would tag Astrea but like you’ve already been tagged my dude, you’ve been taken

[whoslaurapalmer]

finished rereading the raven cycle and you know how last year i said i could be pickier about the raven king but didn’t want to? this year i did want to! 

-i mean, i love the raven cycle. interesting magic, very comfy, would sell my soul for the gangsey.  -but most of this post is gonna be me complaining about the raven king  -the tl;dr of it all is ‘the pacing of the raven king is too fast and too slow at the same time. it’s not that i think it was terrible, but i don’t think it was written as successfully as the previous books. i think, because the pacing of the book is so uneven, that the balance between events, and perhaps the balance between the magic and the characters own inherent internal coming of age power, is off. oh btw i am considering reading call down the hawk but Have Concerns’ 

-noticed the ‘blue is calling gansey from the phone/sewing/cat room and gansey is calling blue from the bathroom-kitchen-laundry’ parallel which i thought was very, very cute. that has my whole heart  -also noticed a lot more of gansey’s whole person just constantly thinking about (or not-thinking about) his death  -BUT THEN THE PROLOGUE TO THE RAVEN KING SMACKED ME IN THE FACE AGAIN HOW COULD I FORGET THAT GANSEY LIKE. LITERALLY KNOWS HE’S GONNA DIE AND THE RAVEN KING IS HIM TRYING MAKE SURE EVERYONE WILL BE OKAY AFTER HE’S DEAD -I CANNOT HANDLE RICHARD CAMPBELL GANSEY THE THIRD MY GOD THIS BOY 

-canNOT overstate how much i really do love gwenllian.  -i love her so much. i love her so much  -same with malory. still love him. 

-okay i guess i appreciated artemus a little more -i think my thing is like. do i have a problem with blue being part tree? no not necessarily. but the pacing in the raven king is so uneven that i think what i dislike is how the reveal happened  -no i don’t know what i’d do differently!!  -every time i disagree with a writing choice in a book i try and think ‘now lulu, as someone with a Literal Degree In Putting Words Together, what would you do differently?’ which is a REALLY good writing exercise but mostly just ends up with me going ‘uhhhh. idk. probably have to backtrack a couple plot points and restart from there. no i will not elaborate.’

-last time i thought the raven king moved too fast and this time i agree but also thought it moved too slow?? -i devoured the first three books every time and then both times i read the raven king i kept putting it down because i thought the pacing was so off, so i was simultaneously interested and not interested in what was going on -too fast re: there were A LOT of characters going on, laumonier and piper and henry and neeve and plot points were just piling up and more like slamming together than converging (piper being laumonier’s daughter and henry’s mother being seondeok especially feel less like pieces falling into place than, oh look! ~a thing!!~), ALSO GOD NOAH NEEDED TO SHOW UP MORE (just like. a smidge more noah. would’ve put a lot together), and the speed of finding glendower/driving back/gansey dying/the epilogue -too slow re: somehow so many things are happening but nothing is happening in some parts, some parts dragged, people are just moving around with no real direct sense of working towards the end, blue and gansey were at lunch while adam and ronan were in cabeswater that one time?????????????  (-not that they can’t get lunch. but they had time to get lunch???????)  -oh i think the four of them maybe felt the most disjointed as a group in this book, which is again not necessarily terrible, but a thing  -and these things are just so disappointing because i thought the pacing of the first three books was so GOOD!! things take their time to happen but HAPPEN and i love that so much!!!!  -i do feel bad criticizing the raven king bc i know maggiestief was going through health problems at the time and it took longer than she wanted to finish. but i am still criticizing it because it’s still a very unsatisfying ending 

-reading this time i felt EVEN MORE FIRMLY that gansey should’ve been glendower, and even went so far as to consider, is the text saying he’s glendower, it’s just not explicitly stated?? because of all the parallels??? of gansey being old and young at the same time, gansey + his own magicians, the parallel between glendower shoving that guy in a tree and gansey wanting to do the same to ronan over the pig, the timelessness of the things gansey loves, the Power of command in his voice, a resurrection in the first place  -and i was going to just say, yeah, it’s there, until i got to noah’s chapter again. -i think noah deserved at least one chapter per book (and maybe more during the raven king) and that would’ve made an already tight plot even tighter, especially in the raven king.  (-i was also thinking that if gansey was glendower then something else would’ve happened when they found him, no i still do not know what) 

-big respect though to maggiestief saying glendower had to either be dead or evil and by that page number there wasn’t enough room for him to be evil -and big respect to the fact that, of course it’s not about teens finding a hero, it’s about teens becoming heroes (these thoughts also pulled from her twitter reread), finding glendower (alive) would never have been narratively good or satisfying  (-especially because it makes sense that glendower was dead all along -- if gwenllian was put to sleep wrong, who’s to say that glendower wasn’t, too?) -BUT, IT ALSO MAKES SENSE IF IT’S GANSEY  -but then you have like. the whole time it wasn’t even glendower. it was noah  -which is why i wanted more noah!!! to better lead to that!!!!!!! cause i feel like that kinda comes out of nowhere!!!!!  -the balance of the magical and the real is just off in the reveal i think  -man i don’t know. this is a lot of words. 

-i also appreciated adam’s character arc better this time, which was really nice. -but i still feel no great attachment to ronan and adam’s relationship  

-you know what. i want more mr. gray and maura -idk if i agree with him leaving henrietta. much like the previous paragraphs and my whole gripe with the raven king, it’s not terrible but i don’t think it’s done well, as well as it could’ve been, as well as the previous books  -also! more adam and persephone would’ve been good 

-i was rereading maggiestief’s tweets where she reread the books and i forget which thread this was in but she picked out one of the ‘character x says something that makes character y reevaluate every single interaction previously’ lines and she was like ‘that’s all these books are’ and i was like ‘YEAH MAGGIE. I FEEL LIKE I SEE THIS LINE EVERY SINGLE SECOND.’ and not necessarily in a good way  -sometimes you can reuse a line and it is a parallel or a connection. sometimes you are just reusing a line over and over. 

-she also mentions writing arguments from a point of, both characters are right, or think they’re right, or as right as they can be or something to that effect  -which i really like, and i absolutely 100% see in her writing  -and so i don’t know if this is just a me thing, because i have this obsessive need to backtrack through even the tiniest disagreements after the fact to calmly figure out where i’m coming from and acknowledge where the other person’s coming from, so while i like that every character comes from a place of ‘i’m right’ i feel like it leads to a lot of arguments left unresolved  -but i think that’s just me feeling like everybody should always talk everything out as much as possible so  -and like resolution doesn’t have to be a big dialogue acknowledgement  -but i still didn’t feel like it left a lot of room for these characters to really work towards change -they do change! but i wanted to see it more 

-oh hey so. did gansey successfully sell of monmouth? did ronan get a diploma anyway? 

-me: ‘thing’ is ultimately a vague, unspecific word and should be used sparingly in a narration, much like ‘interesting’  maggiestief: /flinging out ‘thing’ all the time me: you know what, though???? sure, good for her 

-i like henry. but he’s written terribly, the poor guy comes OUT OF NOWHERE too and should’ve shown up earlier more than his two times in blue lily lily blue, and adam and ronan’s super casual racism towards him is like..................................................................mostly unchallenged and really unnecessary  -if a racist comment is going to remain unchecked and unchallenged by the narrative and the characters, what does it accomplish? -especially because it never ever shows up again or showed up before -and gansey just kind of scoffs it aside and blue doesn’t even really truly call it out which is like, the amount of other things gansey will call out???? the amount of stuff blue will call out??????? AND THEY JUST LET THAT GO?????? -so, again! it’s not necessary!! it does nothing!!! it just adds unchallenged racism that has no place!!!!!!!!!!!!

-also reading this time i felt like maggiestief went out of her way to just not say what race blue was  -that shouldn’t be a thing you just repeatedly dance around and never confirm for your main character 

-so my library still does not have the ebook for call down the hawk but i am vaguely considering buying it to read it but also....................i don’t know -i did read the first eight chapters because they were online and i’m like. Intrigued but also?????? Concerned. idk. idk

-looking at it from a distance i have the same concern with it that i do with king of scars.  -do i think dreamer trilogy is necessary in the way that it explores things that are set up in the raven cycle and have big potential consequences? yes. the hunt for the ‘greywaren’, kavinsky proving that there are other dreamers, trying to make sure a dreamed thing can still exist if something happens to the dreamer, the possibilities and limits of dreamers, ronan trying to dream another cabeswater, ronan’s fear about what’s real and what isn’t/what he dreamed and what he didn’t dream, and maggiestief clearly loving writing ronan and wanting to write more of him -do i think those things are executed well in the dreamer trilogy? from what i’ve read about it, maybe not????  -especially re: ronan and adam’s character arcs????? -which i feel like, stupid and bitchy being picky about. -change and recovery do not happen in straight lines. but i think this kind of cycles back to the way she writes arguments with like, is it too unresolved to the point that no change, either positive or negative, is happening?  -ugggg also makes me worry that i just wasn’t Reading it enough or thinking about it enough  -my additional concern is that maggiestief should’ve maybe had firmer rules for what can and can’t be taken out of a dream  (-yes i suppose that limiting the very nature of a dream goes against the power of ‘the dream’ so it makes sense for it to be limitless BUT i feel like especially the dreaming of people is gonna paint you into a corner if you’re not careful)  -but i am also BIG worried re: the character arcs.  -also where ronan’s character arc is after the raven king, do i think he would do the reveal in mr. impossible?? i...........do not know  -well i didn’t think so AND THEN I READ OPAL which i kind of enjoyed, with reservations, which is mostly back to ‘is no change happening’  (-i love that opal is like, ‘ronan’s inner child’ or whatever it was and i liked her more this time around but last year when i read the raven cycle i was like ‘but what’s the point of taking opal out cause they just kind of shuffle her around?’ now, what was the point of taking opal out if they’re gonna put her back??? and actually almost COMPLETELY IGNORE HER in the short story????? there was so much potential there for her and ronan and it didn’t happen...........) -nightwash kinda just happened too, huh.  (-in general ronan bringing his nightmares back with him is like. God Perfect) -but this all really takes me back to maybe there should’ve been limits on dreaming -also after reading the first eight chapters, i’m like -i 100% respect maggiestief for not wanting to rewrite the raven cycle and not wanting to just write about henrietta, i absolutely do -but it feels so strange to read about ronan and adam and not read about gansey and blue as well?  -which isn’t TERRIBLE, but.  -but when i see like, single lines from or little sections i’m like ‘oh that looks like a good time’ because i do like the way maggiestief writes because a great deal of it is so rhythmically poetic and beautiful, but so is a great deal of the raven king while still being disappointing.  -i feel like i’m just gonna feel about it like how i feel about the raven king honestly -and well king of scars.......

-ANYWAY -might read it. might not. still going back and forth on this a lot. i was leaning towards, i’m gonna do it, but now i’m leaning more towards, i don’t want to, i want to keep the image of these characters where i like them, and right now i am aggressively combing through fanfic because i care a great deal about post-raven king trauma discussion and that’s mostly what i want at the current time

Happy Pride!!!!!

June 4th: Adam Parrish & Ronan Lynch from The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater

God, these two. This entire series is incredible and there are so many things to love about it, but this pairing is *Chef’s Kiss*. I didn’t know much about these books before I started the series, I was a big fan of Maggie’s earlier trilogy The Wolves of Mercy Falls (which is also great btw, but not gay), but didn’t consider reading The Raven Cycle until the last book was already out and the fandom seemed to explode. I actually remember seeing Adam/Ronan fanart on Tumblr, before I even knew who they were, and I didn’t realize it until after I’d read the series. The fanart for this pairing is fantastic btw, just some absolutely gorgeous art all over the internet. I won’t post any of it here, so as not to steal anything or step on any toes, but you should definitely go looking. It’s not hard to find. 

What was so great for me about this pairing is that they snuck up on me. Maggie is so terrific at weaving characters together, friendships/relationships/rivalries can all mix and blend together in beautiful & fun ways. Adam & Ronan are just slow enough of a burn and it’s not out of nowhere, all the clues are there once you see the big picture. And once the two dummies finally admit their shit & give in to each other its’s so so satisfying and beautiful and perfect and ugh. It’s so good. And the goodness continues in the spinoff/sequel series that focuses on the Lynch Brothers, Call Down The Hawk 

“His feelings for Adam were an oil spill; he’d let them overflow and now there wasn’t a damn place in the ocean that wouldn’t catch fire if he dropped a match.” -The Raven King

[autumn-foxfire]

Wow, I’m actually in shock lmao. Just when I thought Hawks couldn’t surprise me anymore. I was trying to see if his “goes too fast.” thing was ever portrayed as a bad thing, and so far I don’t think so? Since that’s what people compare to Icarus, but his flying too high was bad, Hawks being fast is not. In fact, I think being slow is a problem for heroes. He’s about as fast as All Might is unreachable in my opinion. (+)

This got really, really long, so I’m putting the rest under a keep reading XD

(+) Birdman really went and said “I’m going to find the fastest possible solution.” on the same day he gave Endeavor the book and literally two weeks later he found out Shigaraki’s location. That’s so quick omg??? Hawks, dude, bro. I'm gonna start bawling, why are you like this. Let me write it out. (Chapter 253) “Before we knew it, Winter break was over and the new term was upon us.” Winter break ends on January 7th. (+) 

On the 8th, we get the "hospital tip" it was one week after that, and two months before "heroes disappeared from the streets." That Hawks learns where Shigaraki is. The week before the 7th was the internships, making it two weeks in total. Now I'm gonna get into controversial territory. But um??? Hawks manipulating Twice for info is a bad thing, but after he hands Endeavor the book, still January btw. Twice approaches him for help in learning the PLF ideals. (+)

I wanna ask, is it really manipulation? If Hawks is just pretending to be an ally and doing helpful things to appear trustworthy? Oh wait, it does sound like that when I phrase it that way. I'm mostly familiar with the icky kind of manipulation so I don't know. This feels more in-tune with double agent stuff. And that's all he was doing. Being helpful, destro-religious, ("You're working so hard for us already!" - Twice, January.) and charismatic. (+)

But he's not having vile evil thoughts as a contrast either??? So its not super fake since he mostly interacted with citizens (and I feel like he'd genuinely be nice to them. some of them were excited to see him.) and actually reflected on their opinions. Hawks' so called manipulation of Twice lasted two weeks. TWO WEEKS!!! That is nothing, oh my god I thought it was several months. Was he there everyday? Was there really a friendship in that amount of time?

(+) I'm sorry, maybe I'm just being biased and down playing a lot. but Hori showed us in the panel where Hawks was trying to get info, it was @the MLA? And Hawks asking himself "I wonder why I haven't gotten to meet him yet?" Isn't directly prodding at Twice to fish for info, he's not trying to cozy up to him. He's just acting as a natural MLA and kindly citizen would. So yeah, info fishing ended in two weeks for Twice. Maybe they hung out later?

It’s interesting that you brought up Hawks speed because when it’s brought up, Hawks ability to be fast is usually just described as him being “the man that moves too fast”, there’s nothing inherently negative about that. However when Hawks brings up his speed, he describes himself as “the man who moves fast, for his own good” and this is the quote commonly used in the fandom. It was Hawks himself that adds the negative connetation to how own speed and really that doesn’t surprise me considering how self-depricating Hawks is.

What’s also interesting though is that then Hawks blames himself for being too slow when it comes to inflitrating the league because by the time Dabi has given him the in, the league already has man-power and financial aid to back them up.

Hawks actually gathered information as quick as he could to compensate for ‘moving too slow’ the first time around and now I’m worried about how worn thin he pushed himself in order to do so. The poor man, and it’s only going to get worse for him for a while too...

Really all this shares with us is how Hawks is way too hard on himself and it’s probably because of his upbringing (I really hope Horikoshi shares more about the training he underwent).

As for the manipulation point, manipulation itself isn’t necessarily considered an evil act. Google definition (I’m sorry this is my go-to whenever getting exact definitions of words T-T) just describes it as: to control or influence (a person or situation) cleverly or unscrupulously. It still sounds bad admittedly because to try and control a persons will, even if your intentions aren’t evil, is taking their freewill from them so I can understand why people were upset that Hawks manipulated Twice.

However it’s important to remember that Hawks only manipulated Twice to gather information on the terrorist plot to kill people, it’s not something he was doing with malicious intent and it’s certainly not something Twice or any members of the PLF would have given him of their own free will if they knew he didn’t support them. So really all he manipulated was their trust in him towards their cause and teaching Twice the PLF handbook was pretty good way to earn it (it also showcased that Hawks knew the cause they were working for too, which probably earned him more trust among them.)

But you’re right about the friendship being questionable. I’ve never even really though about how much time Hawks actually spent around Twice in those few weeks interacting with him because he was also off gathering information using the PLF members too. At least they just spent the tutoring time together or at most, as you pointed out, they hung out afterwards but even then it would have been a limited time.

Though they might have become friends but it wasn’t like the deep bond Twice shared with league (because it didn’t really have a long time to develop and Hawks was never true about his intentions with Twice either. You can’t build a friendship on lies, even lies that are for the good of everyone). Even if Hawks was ever his true self around Twice, Twice wouldn’t have been able to know because he would have become jaded by the betrayal and just assumed everything Hawks showed him was a lie. He didn’t even question it too, he immediately began to hate Hawks when he showed he was still a hero. It just shows you how deep their relationship really went, at least for Twice.

Oolong tea, rooibos, darjeeling, hop tea, hibiscus tea, flowering tea, puerh tea, turkish tea and kombucha 😚

oolong: which book series could you read again?

- i often reread the shades of magic trilogy and the raven boy books : ) 

rooibos: what is one of your favorite books?

- call down the hawk by maggie stievater 

darjeeling: what languages do you speak?

- English, Russian, a little bit of Finnish and French

hop tea: do you have a favorite tea?

- definitely earl grey. i drink it all the time, with honey and a splash of soy milk. my favorite starbucks drink is even a london fog (delicious iced, btw)

hibiscus: what is a song you can always hear?

- this is kinda weird but there’s this one song i’ve used as a long time for like...a chant to help me fall asleep? it’s called Góða tungl and i used to just repeat it over and over in my head and i’d fall asleep almost immediately lol. i guess a combination of foreign words and a soothing, repetitive, rhythmic sound. so now i use it almost as a type of meditation by just repeating the words over and over in my head and it’s actually very soothing.

also a symptom of my schziophrenia is that if i’ll hear songs playing in ambient noise. like i’ve heard girls just wanna have fun so often at my work that if i turn on the air conditioning in my car or the fan in my bathroom i’ll hear that one part that’s just incoherent screeching over and over again : ))) 

flowering tea: what is a movie you can always watch?

- i already answered this but i don’t really watch movies regularly. for some reason i find it much easier to watch and rewatch series than movies. like i’ve seen american vandal and white collar and undone and several anime shows half a dozen times but i don’t really like to watch or rewatch movies. i would probably say song of the sea is the movie i’ve watched the most. 

pu-erh tea: what is a book you can recommend to others?

- i know it’s pretentious but i really like recommending dostoevsky because his works really changed my life. a lot of people are forced to read crime and punishment in high school and then dismiss him as just another boring dead white author because they’re not really given the time or guidance to appreciate his message. the emotional and philosophical depth of his novels has brought tears to my eyes. i’d suggest starting with notes from the underground, crime and punishment, the idiot, brothers karamazov, and the possessed in that order. 

i would also really recommend nabokov’s novels if you want something a little more cerebral than emotional. he’s a master of wordplay and literary deception. his novels are like big puzzles that mess with your mind and make you question everything you’ve ever believed lol. the gift and despair are especially good.

turkish tea: what is your favorite cake? 

- i like cheese cake and tiramisu 

kombucha: what do you order on a pizza?

- my go-to is spinach, onion, mushroom, and olive with white sauce. if i want meat i add pepperoni.

if naruto characters were your desk neighbours~

i lowkey miss the chaos in school, and not the actual school,, also recently rewatched the final battle between sasuke and naruto- this nostalgia overloaded. ya

Sasuke

popular- yet pretty unapproachable and an introvert,, you can clearly see why

kinda emo hair, kinda emo vibe, kinda emo clothes, just- wears all black

got piercings just last week and you totally find it cool-

 tho he seems content, he has an vibe of restlessness- always fiddling with pen and makin’ shit on his desk fall- that’s how you guys started talkinn’

well, long story shor- you joked- he gave a soul piercing look- attempted to joke for some reason- it was a bad dad joke- he simply decided to act as if nothing happened- you blurted out another joke at that and started laughing historically-

end of the day? you guys stayed late after school hours- as he showed you pics of his cats- nice.

pays attention in class- like a hawk. has pretty messy notes- and draws in his texts

Sakura

saku- no it’s the class rep we’re talkin’ about-

she came off as kinda phony and arrogant at first but she’d super sweet-

and a good cook-

and real scholar- except in sports-

amazing artist

and brings you chocolates everyday, but you ain’t complainin-

is secretly a hAIKYUU!! FAN and you suspect that she has a tumblr blog dedicated to them- i mean lmao-

ya book rec buddy~

hmmmmss~ a LOT

vintage and beanies- le vibe-

Naruto

though he won’t bother you and let go of his rEPUTATION of being loud af this year- but, holy crap you were wrong-

comes in late- legit everyday and acts like nothing happened,, yet emits energy like a fuckin sUN

hella funny and has the coolest fashion sense.

never pays attention in class- and asks you what’s going on and stuff

if given an opportunity- you would have a whole ass picnic in the back of the classroom

but,, you guys are strictly been told to sit on the first desks- cuz odc-

 cheats off your answers- and you’re not a snitch or anything bUT YOU”RE SO CLOSE-

lowkey scared of empty classrooms and hallways, 

Shikamaru

sLEEPS ALOT- thus, making it embarasing for you when sensei spots him and ask you to wake him tf up~

always asking for pen and pencil- has almost lost five erasers since the last three months

since this fucker never has anything with him- you decided to present him supplies for Christmas

doesn’t understand a shit in literature and social science lectures~ but fuckin’ aces at physics and math

many people call ya friendship weird cuz’ he’s more outgoing w you than w anyone else- liitle do they know thaT YOU GUYS BONDED OVER THE MUTUAL HATRED FOR SCHOOL SYSTEM- and mainly,, exchanging homework and test answers

just recently, he shared his playlist- and it’s fuckin’ good.

never takes notes- 

Ino

new hairstyles every fucking day,, i mean are we even surprised??

you wanna know the real vsco girl?? that’s her-

texts you while in class- more like sends you weird and funny shit she comes across on twitter

hence- aLWAYS ACTIVE-

AND TYPES SUPER FAST-

don’t know how but you guys just naturally started talking-

the epitome of foolishness was achieved by you guys in a french lecture when she was tryna say something to you- leaned too much- thus, ended up falling down along with her chair and desk-

and you guys just started crackin’-

which earned you both detention instead of asking her if she’s hurt but. nvm.

she would even throw cranes at you while teacher’s speaking

you guys have opened up about your kinks already- chill-

Hinata 

doesn’t seem like that- but she’s a cosplays

-and makes tik toks

and always listens to lo-fi and also reads lotta manga

she’s shy and speaks the most valid and deep shit ever shit lmao- just randomly throwing realizations at you like a shuttle cock lol

has all tHE SUPPLIES- and expensive ass highlighters and notebooks- 

rich. rich. rich.

pianist as well- you many a times see her hand doing the weird movements as if she’s playing keys- something that she does unconsciously-

being desk partners for a while earned you a selfie with her- she’s kinda camera shy when it comes to close ups-

Kiba

many say he’s loud, but he’s pretty quiet in class

has a three dogs- and has akamaru’s baby pic as his lockscreen- and it’S THE CUTEST THING ever~

Analyzing Hero Costumes: Girls of Class 1-A

My obsession has spiraled out of control. Let me roast analyze these babes. I’m dumb. I’m tired. I’m gay. Let’s do this.

Warning: I’m a cynical, lazy-ass critic with no consistent taste. Don’t expect a fair analysis.

(This is just for fun, please don’t get mad at me for being an undereducated weeb! I went into writing this with only the knowledge I’ve obtained through watching the show and reading the manga. I don’t know everything about the costumes, and I don’t want to either)!

Ashido Mina (Pinky)

Babe, imma be frank here.

I love her, but—

that shit ugly.

Funcionality: Mina’s quirk (Acid) comes from her hands and feet. If I remember correctly, she has passages in her shoes that her...foot..acid.....can pass through, and her hands are fully exposed. So her costume is “practical”, and works with her quirk.

Design: As I said before, that shit ugly. The body suit has the worst pattern and color combination I’ve ever seen. (Like if Sully from Monster’s Inc. was turned into a cow and hated it). Her tiddies should be popping out any second now, which isn’t great. Her weird armpit vest with it’s stupid fluffy collar is quite reminiscent of Hawks’ jacket, which leads me to believe that their costumes were made by the same designer. (Many of the designers in the BNHA universe put calling-cards in their costumes). Her white mask is pointless, but at least it matches the fluff on her collar. Her boots, though they have a purpose, are ugly as sin. The pale yellow doesn’t match any other piece in the ensemble, and the Dabi-scar colored purple makes me sad. Hate that.

Total Score: 2/10

Her costume does almost nothing to enhance her quirk, and it’s hideous. The only reason it got two points was because of the shoe holes, and the possibility that it’s connected to my boy Hawks.

Seriously, this is some Seasame Street lookin-ass bullshit.

No hate on Mina, she’s lovely, but her taste is atrocious. (see: her bedroom).

Asui Tsuyu (Froppy)

Okay, okay bitch I see you.

I’m here for this.

Funcionality: Tsu’s quirk (Frog) requires a decent amount of flexibility from clothing. Spandex works for that I guess. Normally, I would automatically fail this costume for having goddamn toe “socks”, but for Tsuyu they’re nessecary. Having her individual toes chiseled out helps her grip onto shit when she’s kicking ass. It looks like her gloves are attached to her body suit, which is rad, but I’m not sure what the purpose of that waist belt-thing is. If anything, the chunky pieces of her costume would make it harder for her to swim. I also have no fucking clue what that head piece is. I once thought they were like binoculars or something, but she’s never put them on her face so...they wouldn’t fit....on her face..huh.....I’m so stupid bro.

Design: Lets start with a positive, the color scheme slaps. Everything goes together, and the dark green even matches her hair. The bodysuit has a cool structure, and I can definitely appreciate the slight turtleneck and boot-esq feature; however, the chunky wrist pieces, belt, neck/chest-thing, and head piece confuse me. I guess they’re there for fashion, gutter fashion. Shitty crap face fashion. Ugly butthole fashion. FILTH! I need to calm down holy shit—

Total Score: 6/10

The look honestly only lost points for the random ass statement pieces. Water terrains are Tsuyu’s specialty, and a clunky outfit would certainly slow her down underwater.

The toe shit, turtleneck, thigh-high “boots”, and color scheme are pretty dope though.

(Also, she only has three toes but frogs have four).

(My Hero Academia: Cancelled).

Hagakure Toru (Invisible Girl)

So, here’s the real question.

Is she naked?

Short answer: I dunno.

Funcionality: So she’s invisible, right? A good costume would emphasize that. I can only assume she wears the boots and gloves for comfort and so her allies can see where she is. If she wants to go full invisible, she just has to take them off. At one point, it was confirmed that she was topless during the sports festival, but we’ve had no further updates on her costume. A few people have theorized that her costume is made of her hair (assuming she has hair). We know that this is possible, as Mirio’s costume is made of his hair so he can remain clothed while his quirk is activated. The only issue would be making an outfit out of something you can’t see. If I were Toru, I would choose to fight nude because, I-uh...hmm, I-I can do what I want SHUT UP!

Design: There’s not much to critique here. The shade of blue on her gloves is cute, and the pink stripes don’t make much of an impact. The shoes are just about the most boring thing I’ve ever seen, like why are they beige??? What are they supposed to match? I just—ugh, beige??? What the fuck Horikoshi...smh.

Total Score: 5/10

Since we don’t know if the “hair-costume” thing is canon, I can’t rate it any higher. If that is true, it would be an 7/10. The outfit does its job, but I’m bored and beige sucks.

(Btw I don’t trust her...)

(Sketchy chick right here).

(Sketchy chick with some ugly-ass beige shoes).

Jirou Kyouka (Earphone Jack)

Aww.

She’s cute!

Look at her little face, d’awwwweeeeee!

Funcionality: The lovely Kyouka’s quirk (Earphone Jack), makes absolutely no sense to me. Like, I get that she can hear better and can eavesdrop really well, but how does she...make loud noises??? With the speakers??? Plugging earbuds into a speaker doesn’t make............noise, and the speakers aren’t part of her body. Whatever, back to the analysis. The speakers on her hands and calves amplify sound somehow, and her earlobes are exposed. It’s works.

Design: The speaker boots are basic, but acceptable. She’s got some comfy looking black pants, and a trendy salmon-colored top. Her jacket is iconic, and she’s wearing a choker. (+1,000,000 points for that). The white gloves don’t match shit, but they’re fingerless so I’ll let it slide. Her headphones almost match....meh. I don’t care. (+10 for the face paint).

Total Score: 8/10

Listen, I’d give her a 10 but this costume just isn’t....gimmicky, enough for me? She’s a superhero for fucksake! Now’s the time to dress your goddamn best! The look is practical, and seems to be her taste, I just disagree with her choices. Sue me. I’d either wanna fight in the wackiest most dangerous getup you’ve ever seen, or completely naked. Either way, I’m getting arrested. Jirou needs to get on my fucking level.

Uraraka Ochaco (Uravity)

I don’t know boys,

it seems like she might be...

round.

Fuck sharp angles!

Funcionality: Ochaco’s quirk (Zero Gravity) only requires her hands to work. More specifically, her fingertips. Uh, yeah those are some nude fingertips. *Ahem* moving on. Actually wait, since she often uses her quirk on herself it would be helpful for her to eliminate as much extra weight as possible, so I’m hoping that all of the accessories are hollow. They better be, or I’m gonna start throwing hands with Kohei Horikoshi.

Design: When Ochaco first got her hero costume she was surprised by how tight it was, even saying that it wasn’t supposed to be that tight. Bitch, how could it have been loose? I don’t...fuck it. I like the colors, I like the boots a lot actually, but who cares about that, I wanna talk about her fucking chastity belt. Who she keepin out? (Jesus Christ she’s a child, tone it down Mari). Do you think it’s comfortable to walk around with a chunk of plastic on your crotch?! I don’t know, seriously, is it? Maybe she’s trying to hide something...a hip dip perhaps?! Jk hip dips are stupid, that’s how bones work, don’t be ashamed. Her wrist...spheres... have handles on them, no comment, and whereas I usually LOVE chokers—that one is stupid and I hate it. Curvy little shit.

Total Score: 8/10

I like it overall, but some things are just too strange to overlook. (i.e. the chastity belt, wrist cuff handles, and the ugly choker). This costume doesn’t really scream Uraraka to me either. It’s a bit unoriginal to me.

I just don’t love it.

(Why are her fists clenched? Is she trying to fight? I could snap her like the twig she is and steal her girlfriend).

(Assuming she has one).

Yaoyorozu Momo (Creati)

Oohooohohohoho

hooohohoho

hoooooo mAN do I have some WORDS for this one!

Funcionality: Momo’s quirk (Creation) does require quite a bit of skin to be exposed, but I’m not sure why that skin HAS to be her boobs. She’s got thighs, a stomach, a back, an upper chest, and arms. Why do her Russian nesting dolls have to come out of her tiddies??? Okay, actually, she doesn’t make that many things with her tits. So....why’re they out? This costume definitely lets her quirk run wild, maybe too much.

Design: The red is pretty, and I can tolerate the sandy yellow. Her shoes are unimportant, so let’s just gloss over those. Now, WHAT is that thing? A makeshift, tan colored, plastic tube mini...skirt? I know she has a shelf on her ass that she carries books on, but doesn’t she have a cellphone? Google? Can’t she just remember the molecular make-up of a cannon? (Because she only makes cannons now for some reason). Have we ever even seen her reading those books? Can she read? A large portion of her midsection/chest is exposed up to another one of those weird chest pieces and a neck jacket. Maybe she should cut the neck coat off and glue it to her tiddies.

Total Score: 1/10

Listen, Horikoshi clearly understands what Momo’s costume needs, but he has no idea how to make that. This outfit IS inappropriate, no matter how you look at it. She’s a minor, and I don’t like the idea that she’s running around 75% naked. The only part of this that I like is the shade of red. That’s not good.

I really like Momo, she’s a good character, it’s unfortunate that we have to sexualize her so much. Can’t girls just be smart without also being eye candy for creepy 30 year old weebs?

——————

That’s it for this analysis. I plan on posting more stuff like this since I enjoy writing it so much! You should totally follow me so you don’t miss my future ramblings! 💖

Unless you hated it.

I wouldn’t blame you.

“I’m heading out, May,” Peter called out, pulling his headphones chord through his shirt and sliding them into his ears. He grabbed his keys off the table and walked out the door after hearing May call back, “have a good day at school! Be back in time for dinner.”

“Got it,” Peter sighed, beginning his walk towards the train station.

Peter got onto the train and held onto one of the poles while AC/DC hummed through his ear drums. Peter looked down at his phone and opened up his text messages. He sighed deeply as he saw he still hadn’t gotten a text from Happy, notifying him that he was needed by Tony. Peter decided to text Happy just in case.

P: Hey Happy just checking in, I’m out of school at 2:45 PM 👊

P: Ready for my next mission!

P: It’s Peter BTW.

P: Parker

Peter scrolled up after sending his last message to see the rest of his unanswered text messages. The train came to a stop and Peter shook his head at himself as he shoved his phone into his pocket and exited the train

Peter looked around at all the athletes practicing on the football field as he walked onto the school’s campus.

“Sup, Penis Parker!” Flash called out as he nearly ran over Peter as he tried to cross the street from the football field to the school building. Peter rolled his eyes as he watched Flash drive away in what him and Ned like to refer to as the “Dick Mobile”.

“Students don’t forget about your homecoming tickets. Do you have a date to homecoming?” One of the schools news reporters spoke through the announcements. Peter quickly glanced up at one the TV’s while reaching the second floor of the school. He smiled to himself at the thought of homecoming and spending it with the one person he had been crushing on since the fifth grade.

Peter kept thinking about how perfect homecoming would be if he were to ask that one person. He sighed opening his locker, knowing his dream of the perfect homecoming would never come true.

Peter was so deep into thought that he let out a slight gasp as a small lego figurine appeared above his shoulder followed along by the voice of his best friend.

“Join me and together we will build my new Lego Death Star,” Ned whispered, wiggling the lego between his fingers. Peters eyes widened and quickly turned to look back at Ned.

“What?” He gasped, raising his eyebrows in surprise before looking over at the group of cheerleaders beside him who each gave him a disapproving look. Peter swallowed before lowering his voice, “no way, that’s awesome. How many pieces?”

Ned smirked and watched as Peter turned back to his locker, “3,803.”

“That’s insane!” Peter commented, grabbing his Physics book.

“I know right. So, you want to build it tonight?” Ned asked.

“Can’t tonight got the Star-“ “The Stark Internship,” Ned cut Peter off as they began walking to their first period. Peter nodded and adjusted the strap of his book bag on his shoulder.

“How about I build the majority of the Death Star at my place and then I’ll come over afterwards and we can,” Ned started, Peter blocking out the rest of Ned’s proposal about the Death Star as he locked eyes on his crush of five years. Y/n Stark.

“Class please welcome your new classmate, Y/n,” Ms. Tucker, Peter’s fifth grade art teacher announced. Peter pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose, looking up from where him and Ned were coloring in a Avengers coloring book.

A small girl with long, silky (your hair color) hair and big, shining (your eye color) eyes looked nervously around the classroom. All of Peter’s classmates looked up slightly and then went back to their arts and crafts. Peter however, stared at her star struck. A light pink hue coded his cheeks as she made eye contact with him.

“Dude,” Peter looked over at Ned who was coloring outside the lines on a Hulk picture. Ned looked up at Peter and cocked his head, mindlessly coloring without looking.

Peter pointed to the new girl slightly, “that’s Y/n Stark.”

“Who?” Ned narrowed his eyebrows, pausing his coloring. Ned looked over at the small girl who was currently putting her book bag into a cubby.

“Tony Stark’s daughter!” Peter shouted slightly, earning weird looks from his fellow classmates.

“Who?” Ned asked, dumbfounded.

“Ironman,” Peter’s voice lowered slightly causing it to crack.

Ned’s jaw dropped slightly before looking at Y/n again. “How do you know?”

“She’s always at his business conventions Uncle Ben takes me to,” Peter exclaimed before hearing a voice being cleared behind him. Peter looked over his shoulder to find Ms. Tucker staring down at him with Y/n by her side.

“Ned, Peter, since your table isn’t the only one full in the class, do you mind if Y/n sits with you two?” Ms. Tucker smiled sweetly.

“Yes, we do mind—“ “Of course not,” Peter cut Ned off, sending him a “are you dumb?” look. Ned shrugged and rolled his eyes before Y/n took a seat in between them.

“Hi,” Y/n smiled. Peter waved lightly. “Hi I’m Peter and that’s Ned.”

“Hi, I’m Y/n.”

“What are you guys working on?” Y/n glanced slightly at Peters paper to find a halfway, neatly colored picture of Ironman. Y/n slugged back in her seat slightly and sighed.

“We’re coloring The Avengers. Do you want one? We still haven’t colored Black Widow or Hawk Eye,” Peter said passing her the coloring book. Y/n shook her head quickly.

“I’m fine, I’ll just go look for another coloring—“ “Y/n, you forgot this in the car,” Y/n got cut off by a large man handing her a phone. Y/n looked up behind her and her emotion had quickly changed.

“Happy, get out. I don’t need it!” She scowled, pushing the phone away.

“Your dad needs you to keep it on you in case of an emergency. This was the deal you two made if you wanted to be in public school,” the large man now known as Happy sighed, placing the phone on her desk. Y/n shook her head.

“Woah, you have a phone?” Peter asked in surprise. His eyes full of curiosity as he stared at the electronic as if it was from another planet, “that’s so cool!”

Y/n smiled at his compliment. A light pink blush became apparent across her cheeks as she thanked him.

“She’s a Stark of course she has one, Pete,” Ned rolled his eyes once more before glaring at Y/n. She sighed again and shoved phone into her pocket.

“Woah, you’re a Stark? As in Tony Stark? As in Ironman?” Flash appeared at the head on their table. His eyes big as he pointed at Y/n. Y/n frowned and nodded through embarrassment.

“He’s my dad,” Y/n looked down at her lap.

“No way! My family is rich too! You should come sit with me and the cool kids. You don’t have to waste your breath on Penis Parker and his side chick,” Flash smirked.

Y/n looked over her shoulder to see Happy chatting with Ms. Tucker a few feet away before responding.

“First of all, I doubt you even know what a penis is and second off...” Y/n paused before looking at Peter who was frowning down at his drawing, “...I’d rather stay with Peter and his side chick, Ned.”

Peter and Ned both exchanged a look before looking back over at Y/n.

“Seriously?” All three boys asked in unison.

Y/n laughed before grabbing the coloring book next to Peter.

“Yeah, besides, Black Widow is really calling my name,” she shrugged, flipping through the book.

“I guess rich kids aren’t bad after all,” Ned smiled at Y/n before sharing his crayons with her.

Ever since that day, Peter knew she was different. She had been the only girl to reject anyone for him, let alone stand up for him.

“That’d be great,” Peter nodded to Ned as he watched Y/n open her locker with her best friend, Liz Allen at her side.

Liz Allen said something quickly before walking away, leaving Y/n by herself.

Y/n turned her gaze to catch Peter staring. A noticeable blush flushed both of their cheeks. Both of them silently thanking the distance between them or else the other would have noticed the blush.

Y/n sent him a kind grin, waving in his direction catching him slightly of guard. Peter’s jaw dropped before sending a toothy grin and waving his hand through the air which resulted in his hand smacking Ned on the forehead. Y/n widened her eyes slightly before watching Peter panic and turn to Ned.

“Awe man, I am so sorry!” Peter apologized. Ned nodded before looking up to see who Peter was waving to. Y/n smiled slightly and waved to Ned. Ned waved back and smiled as if nothing had just happened.

Y/n sent him a full smiled before shutting her locker and walking to her first period.

Peter watched her walk away in defeat, he sighed as he looked down at the floor.

“Are you still planning on asking her to homecoming?” Ned asked Peter as they continued walking. Peter looked over at Ned as if he was a mad men.

“Are you crazy? Me, Peter Parker, nerdy kid that builds legos with his friend ask out Y/n Stark? The girl who’s dad is the best scientist in the entire city yet again, the world?” Peter asked in disbelief.

“Peter, you already know her dad so you’re already a shoe in,” Ned explained, “plus half the sophomore class has already asked her and she has said no. You have nothing to lose!”

“All the better reasoning not to ask her,” Peter stared at Ned wide-eyed, “let’s just get to first period.”

Peter walked in a minute before the late bell and took his seat near the back. He watched as Y/n laugh to a comment Betty Braynt had made. He smiled at the sound of her small giggle before opening his laptop and searching up videos taken of Spider-man on Youtube hoping to find out ways to better his moves.

An hour into the lesson, Peter continued to watched videos as his teacher spoke.

“Okay, so how do we calculate linear acceleration between points A and B...Flash,” Ms. Marks spoke, pointing to Flash who held his hand above his head staring down at his text book.

“The product of the sine of the angle and gravity divided by mass,” Flash smirked, quickly replying with his answer. Y/n snorted at his answer.

“Nope...Peter,” Ms. Marks called out, snapping Peter from his binge watching of Spider-man’s Greatest Moves, “are you still with us?”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Peter quickly looked in Y/n’s direction to find her eyes already on him along with a few other students. She grinned at him before gesturing to the board with her head. Peter looked to the board, shutting his laptop and answered the question.

“Uh well, gravity cancels out so it’s just mass times sine,” he breathed out.

“Correct,” Ms. Marks commented.

Y/n chuckled before looking back at Flash, “see Flash being the fastest isn’t always the best if you are going to be wrong.”

Everyone in the room lightly chuckled causing Flash to lay his head down. Peter smiled at Y/n’s comment before opening his laptop back up.

“Ms. Stark as much as I agree with your comments, I suggest you keep them to yourself,” Ms. Marks told Y/n, walking up to the board.

“Hey Ned, how’s your face?” Y/n asked walking up to Ned and Peter’s lab station during third period. Peter immediately looked up and blushed, “hi, Y/n.”

Y/n looked over at Peter and smiled. Ned sighed breaking Y/n from her gaze at Peter, “sore. Peter about knocked me out.”

“Really-“ “No I did not!” Peter cut Y/n off, not wanting her to think he was violent. He looked over at Ned before changing to a softer gaze as he met Y/n’s eyes, “I didn’t about knock him out...I just hit him...slightly hard.”

Y/n raised an eyebrow before nodding. She chuckled lightly, ruffling Ned’s hair.

“I’m just happy you didn’t ruin his beautiful hair. That’s my job to mess up,” Y/n commented causing Ned to grin. She winked at the boys before returning to her seat next to MJ.

Peter sighed as he watched her walk away before working on his web fluids.

“Hey, Peter,” Ned greeted Peter as he took a seat down next to him at lunch.

“Hey,” Peter mumbled lost in a trance. His eyes glued to Y/n’s figure as she helped Liz hang up a homecoming poster in the cafeteria.

“Did Y/n get a new top?” He asked Ned, Ned furrowed his brows and looked across the cafeteria to find you at the top of a ladder. He cocked his head then shook it.

“No, we’ve seen that before. Just never with those jeans,” Ned pointed out.

“We should probably stop staring before it gets creepy though,” Peter sighed, resting his head on his palm as he invested himself more into Y/n.

“Too late...you guys are losers,” MJ spoke up from the end of the table. Peter and Ned both looked at her with a questionable gaze.

“Well then why do you sit with us?” Ned queried. MJ shrugged and went back to reading her novel, “cause I don’t have any friends.”

During the decathlon team practice, Peter broke the news to Mr. Harrington that he couldn’t make the competition in Washington, D.C. Everyone began to complain as Peter tried to plead with them.

“Why can’t you come, Peter?” Y/n sighed, sitting down next to him. Peter instantly felt the hair on his arms raise as he felt her presence. He looked at her and sighed, “I have the Stark internship.”

“I’m sure my dad will understand,” Y/n explained, grasping onto his forearm. Peter felt his heartbeat speed up as she begun to rub soft circles with the pad of her thumb in a reassuring way. Peter shook his head before swallowing hard, “I tried to talk to him. I just have to stay here.”

“I can talk to him for you-“ “No! That’s okay,” Peter squealed, cutting Y/n off and standing quickly up from his chair, “just do it without me.”

“That’s impossible,” Sarah called out from the stage. Liz shook her head from the podium, “we need you Peter.”

Y/n turned to meet Peter’s eyes before commenting, “we can’t do it without you, Peter. You’re the smartest one on this team.”

“Hey!” Flash yelled.

“You really think so?” Peter looked at Y/n with hopeful eyes as she nodded immediately. His heart fluttered at her words, appreciating each one with a deeper meaning than they held. He smiled at her response.

He looked down at the floor, trying to hide the blush she had caused him, “I’m sorry.”

“I understand, I guess. Well, then, Flash you’re in for Peter,” Y/n turned away from Peter.

“Uh, I don’t know I got a hot date with Black Widow coming up,” Flash chuckled, mocking Peter.

“To bad she doesn’t go for wannabe Tony Stark’s,” Y/n rolled her eyes.

After Peter’s long night of stopping bicycles thieves, eating churros, and beating up the Avengers who tried to rob a bank, he crawled through his window into his room to find Ned sitting on his bunk bed with a half broken Death Star.

“You’re the Spider-man from Youtube!” Ned shrieked, watching Peter shake his head and strip from his suit. “No, I’m not.”

“You were on the ceiling!” Ned pointed up in fear.

“No, I wasn’t!”

“Yes, you were!”

“What are you doing here, Ned?” Peter asked, pulling his suit off.

“You said we would finish the Death Star!” Ned argued back.

“You can’t just bust into my room-“ “Peter you want Thai for dinner? Ned wanna join us?” May came barging into Peter’s room.

“No, Ned has a thing,” Peter said. May pointed to a shirt, “maybe put on some clothes.”

“She doesn’t know,” Ned asked in disbelief as May left the room and closed the door behind her.

“Nobody know! Well, Mr. Stark does, he’s the one who made my suit,” Peter shrugged.

“Tony Stark made your suit? Wait, how come Y/n doesn’t know? Don’t you see her all the time at Stark Towers?”

“No, she’s always in her dad’s lab working on new tech or hanging out with friends. She has never met me as Spider-man, but has worked on my suit,” Peter shrugs on his sweater, explaining to Ned why Y/n didn’t know his secret, “plus we’re not like best friends. I say hi, she says hi.”

“Why doesn’t Tony tell her? Tony knows we all have been friends for years,” Ned says.

“Actually, no, may I remind you that we all never became close. That day after she sat with us in fifth grade, she became best friends with Liz and got suckered into the popular crowd. We’re merely acquaintances, barely even denting friends,” Peter rambled, “Tony knows we go to the same school, yes, but that’s it.”

“So he doesn’t know how in love you are with his daughter and how badly you want to ask her to homecoming?” Ned chuckled. Peter cried out, “I’m not in love with her! I just really like her.”

“Dude, just ask her out! You’re freaking Spider-man, you are like THE man. You can do anything,” Ned suggested. Peter shook his head.

“Except ask out possibly, the hottest girl in all of New York.”

“I don’t know about all of New York. All of Midtown High? Maybe. But all of New York? Black Widow may take that W,” Ned smirked, bending down to pick up his Death Star.

“Nah, Y/n for sure has Black Widow beat. I should know, I’ve seen Black Widow in person before,” Peter cockily remarked, helping Ned pick up his Death Star.

“Then go for it!”

“I don’t know, Ned.”

“What’s the worst that can happen?”

“I don’t know, my head gets blown off by Tony’s hand blasters!?” Peter stares at Ned with wide-eyes, pausing his movements.

“You think too negatively,” Ned concluded.
