How to make better types of friendships?
We all want to have deeper and better relationships, not those that stay on the surface and last a few messages, but we're not always too open for them. We also expect others to start giving to us, asking us, through our half-open doors. But we rarely initiate an interaction. Now tell me, if everyone keeps waiting to initiate, how can we actually have a conversation or even start a friendship? It's good to take a step back, open our door a little more and be the first one showing interest in another person. It's safe to do that, despite our minds sometimes tell us the opposite to cause... we fear rejection. And historically (when we used to live in tribes), being rejected by others meant basically be in a huge life threat. But things have changed nowadays. If by any chance the other person will close their door on us, it's fine: it means we're not for them. But we can survive anyway, and it will still be worth to try. It'll help us as well in making experience for when our people will come in. Rejection is okay, it doesn't mean we're not worthy of any type of releationships on a world-wide scale. We're not in danger. It only refers to one person. And do you know how many people live on this Earth, right? So just try. Contact 5 people you'd like to talk with and see how things go. But remember to show interest in them, so keep the convo going (unless the other tells you differently ofc).
We have self worth issues: we don't feel enough, we have social anxiety (to an extent), we feel like losers, not interesting, boring, too sad, too whiny... and whatever other negative adjective you want to add. If we start this way, we may even just get that: we may really look like losers or too sad or closed off. All this is never of help in letting people in and be curious about us. Start seeing yourself differently: list 10 positive traits, or things you have achieved. Every little thing counts (even getting out of bad on a very tough day, or drinking a glass of water when you needed: you took care of you, and did amazingly). Be more proud about your small achievements: we tend to focus too much on negative parts of ourselves and life, and that's cause of some twisted up self preservation habit (think about wild animals and how they need to survive to their predators: if they kept thinking about being eaten, they would never have the chance to enjoy anything, to even live. That's what we do though: we keep thinking about being eaten by some strange enormous being -that is only inside of us. So we may even fight it and show it we can actually do anything anyway and nothing bad will happen). Starting from seeing ourselves as not good enough for relationships, we assume nobody will like us. This is where we should make a 180° turn. Let's try assuming someone will like us. Let's be propositive and happy. This way, we become unconsciously more open, warmer, welcoming.. all traits that attract people in and make them like us. Ofc there will still be some people that won't, no matter what, but that's okay: we're not made for everyone anyway.
We tend to overthink about what other think, mean by saying a specific word or sentence, or with a specific act (e.g. they cancelled our meeting so they must hate me; they aren't answering immediately to my text so I have hurt them or they hate me). This is where we lose it all. Doing so, overthinking through our self perception and our own life experience (and possible traumas/triggers), we may even end up misinterpreting the other's true intentions. And forget others do have a life of their own as well, so they may even be busy studying, working even playing videogames... just living, but it doesn't mean they hate us or don't care about us. They need time to do things for themselves exactly as we do. Making assumptions about others is rarely of help in understanding them and their true intentions. So try to be objective, get away from your own point of view on a fact, and try to be neutral. Try to see the world from the other's eyes, but even better, ask. Talk. Communicate about your insecurities, fears, worries... Keeping them inside won't be of help in understanding the other, it will just rot inside of you, hurt you, possibly cause pain and mine the relationship. To be open and vulnerable, also mean be ready to have some tough convos on emotions, feelings, experiences, problems. And to be ready to say you have been wrong or have judged the others to ofast based on your own past experiences and fears. Life it's not all about flowers and candies... there's also the other side of it. But having a deep relationship based on trust and security, will help you find common ground and be clear with the other through communication. No fears. No masks. And being understanding of each others' need for space. Focus on what you can control = YOU. How you express yourself, your thoughts, your perception of who you are and what you are saying and doing. Set your values and stick to them. And also remember to set your boundaries and be in control of your ground: you can be kind and still say no to things you don't want to do. Do not people please: this won't bring you your dream friendship or relationship, but only someone toxic taking the best of you. Relationships needs to be balanced, we need to leanr to be open and giving to receive as much. It's also about respect for the other but ourself as well. Show up as the type of person you'd like to interact or have a relationship with. Show yourself what you really deserve. And be ready to only have that back. It's not being picky, is being self respectful. And ofc it will take time and effort, lot of practice, but you'll get there. Trust yourself and your own worth. Know what you need in another person, and be ready to ask for that. You aren't needy, people has needs.

I've had that strange dream over two years ago, that there was a large egg and people believed a white dragon would hatch from it, including me. But turned out that instead some strange creature hatched, it was a kind of a bear but bigger and monstrous, and with armors and spikes basically built into it. Could pass for a pоkemon tbh.
And everyone was scared of it a lot, saying that unfortunately confusing eggs of this type of monster for the noble dragon ones was a reoccurring mistake. I remember there was a lot of hatred, whispering and advising to stay away from it, or killing it before it could kill anyone else. I remember being scared too, but I wanted to give it a chance for.. I didn't know what, exactly. I just decided to stick around despite risk of being killed and eaten by it, as this type was known for "biting the hand that feeds it" as they called it. I recall struggling with it sometimes, and how much other people feared and hated me seeing me walk with it by my side so casually, how everyone kept running away and if they tried to kill us, it would defend us. But above all what struck was when at some point, the way I was guiding ended at the staircase to the rooftop that seemed to be abnormally large, because when the beast got up there it turned into a regular bear. Like, just normal bear. Animal. Without any features of the alien monster or anything. And all aggression was gone from it! It just ran off to live with various other (also normal) animals, and I just let it go and woke up right after.
I always wondered what that dream meant, and especially recently. Most of other animals at the "rooftop" were herbivores and yet I knew predators, including this bear, would not need to eat other animals, or be otherwise burdened by vital needs in this place. Sounds like Heaven. But I also wondered if that dream was representing him.. He associated his image with a white dragon earlier in life, before society grinded him and threw away what was left to die; something I did not know at the time I saw that dream. Heck, when I saw that dream I did not even know as much as that almost year later they'd come to lynch us for the """awful sin""" of association, let alone this! And the last time I saw him, he was very normal. Just... so peaceful, so healthy, all of a sudden. Just chatting about his interest with the new friends/audience that suddenly appeared. No more hostility, no more hatred or pain.. something I also selfishly didn't want to see, because in turn he boasted about how easily he forgot me, like it all was just a bad dream. It seems unrealistic that I of all people somehow played role in "guiding" him to happiness. According to him, I was only holding him back and stressing him out.. but if I've learned anything, is that sometimes the real meaning of events is not instantly obvious, or nobody might even learn the truth in their whole life.
After all I was only guiding the way, nothing in the dream implied shared happiness. The way it was weirdly prophetic sure makes me paranoid. Especially how I did not go to "Heaven" too. What did happen was the sense of completing the 'task' and being free now. I don't know what my job in this life is, exactly, but it is 100% not 'being happy'. When I feel safe and alive, I know that very soon something I can not control or prevent will destroy this light. Though if this is true and my purpose is to just "show the way", even if not knowingly, instead of having my own, I'd be happy. All better than being useless.

I feel like absolute shit today so here are some Centricide arima headcanons before I die.
Commie
He'd definitely be a polaris (snow arima), since they were bred for manual labor and make up a large amount of the work force in Sahira. Also they are built for cold climates and if you wanna go off the Russian stereotype then. Yeah.
Since Polaris arimas are not exactly bounded by hierarchy through eye colors, he'd likely have silver eyes like most of his species. Unless for some reason he's an albino in which case they're pink.
He would have a large amount of experience in both cart pulling in animal form and building railroads in human form, so in short he would be fucking ripped.
Since he is an authoritarian, he would naturally be a high class. So that basically means he would have a very large wingspan and a threatening aura to him. Personality wise, this makes him very serious and easily angered. (He would try to seem more like a mid class though since he probably thinks that the arima pack hierarchy system is some bullshit, which it is but not according to genetics.)
Ancom
This is probably going to be the easiest one. Okay. So Ancom would be a mid class porizanian (common land dweller). This, appearance-wise, makes quem have green eyes. Green eyed porizanians are all afab though so qui is trans but we already knew that.
Qui lives in Kinshwa among a bustling human population so qui does not transform too often, this would make quem likely not be as used to transforming as Commie and it would feel odd to quem to be a literal dragon for longer than two hours.
Qui is nineteen years old in my headcanon, which for this arima version, qui would likely be very energetic and interested in starting shit since most porizanians around this age tend to be rowdy and rebellious, which is also why I picked this type for quem.
Lastly, qui is twinkish and probably not very muscular since qui refuses to eat humans. Which from a moral standpoint is a good thing, but well since qui's a middle class arima, it would definetly stunt quis growth and strength.
Qui got arrested one time for throwing a Molotov at a nobleman's house but got away unscathed because Ancap paid for it. Quis also a runhead and it's a miracle qui hasn't overdosed yet.
Ancap
I had to think about this one. Since Ancap is canonically a multi billionaire, I needed to find some way to show that he's prideful. If this were just simply a Chernov headcanons page I would definitely make him a Tulitnan Borrizeniya (like Vasily) since they are known to be very wealthy and are often stuck up. However, I think simply a genetically middle class yellow glowing meridianae (water/fish arima) would work for him.
Now because of this, Ancap wouldn't touch Commie with a 10 foot pole from the fear of being eaten. High class arimas are historically known to eat or attack middle class ones who aren't part of their packs. But Commie just fucking hates Ancap anyway so yeah they have a bit of an unstable relationship.
Ancap lives in a mansion and is very paranoid about high classes so he doesn't often leave. He has human servants and such probably and also lives in Kinshwa, so he hangs out with Ancom a lot when he DOES go outside. (Libunity bois)
Ancap is fluid in transformation and is typically more in the form of a snake than his human or arima forms. Ancom calls him snake man because of this and it's funny.
Blueman
Blueman is a high class purple eyed porizanian, no doubt. Since he is canonically mean and controlling, and also authoritarian.
Blueman sees humans as an inferior species and wants to wipe them out. He is also a Zhen and so he thinks this about Lillycans too. Because come on he's racist, not just speciesist. He looks in the mirror every morning and does the Zhen salute. He also probably has a horse.
He is equally if not more violent than Commie in attacking nature. He is swift and light on his feet since he practices attacking shit more than anything else. Blueman is mostly in arima form because he feels weak and inferior in human form. So he doesn't transform often.
He uses the word "nokoniy" all the time like it's as common as yes and no. He has no problem using offensive slurs and making people feel small as said in canon. He is from Sanria so he feels as though he is entitled to use these words because he is "built different".
Yeah I'll probably draw these later.

Into the snake pit hc g/t
Trigger warning for Vore and mentions of hard gorey imagery (nothing of that scale happens) if theres a <em> </em> ignore it, they will make more sense on my Ao3 Cleo had messaged Grian about half an hour ago to meet here. For what? Well he wasn’t 100% sure yet. When he had asked Cleo what it was about all Grian got back was, <em>ZombieCleo: It’s a little hard to explain over messaging, meet me at the cords and I will show you. It’s much easier to explain that way.</em> Grian re-read the message a few times. It was possible she was running late, after all Hermits do tend to even if they don’t mean to. The builder decided to directly message Cleo just in case. <em>Grian: I’m at the spot, I was just wondering if you were running late? If so that's fine I just wanted to make sure you knew.</em> After typing it out he sighed and sat his back against a tree. He couldn’t shake off the feeling someone was watching him. “Hello?” Grian called out, turning around squinting into the dark forest. It’s possible there's an animal or monster around that’s just passing through but Grian wasn't so sure. His feathers puffed up as he slowly stood up looking around the dark short trees surrounding him. It’s not like the avain could just take off. The trees were short and dense, the one downside to the forest they decided to meet in. He had no room to flee, and man did it make him paranoid. His movements were halted as something squeezed his waist. He quickly turned, a clawed arm raised, ready to slash but he halted when he saw Cleo who just blinked a few times at the nearly heart attack given birdman. “Woah okay calm down G.” She said, her voice’s tone had some shock to it but not much. Grian’s eyes looked at the snake tail that wrapped itself around his waist. The builder's eyes followed it and watched as it slowly mixed with the giant woman that was behind him. “Oh wait- oh.” Grian says as it loosened falling to the ground. He held his face in his hands slightly embarrassed. Cleo laughed behind him as she made a couple circles around the two of them with her tail. “Well I did try and scare you but man, that was-” She laughed, cutting herself off. “You should have seen your face.” The naga laughed, clutching her stomach as she tried to breathe. Grian growled a little hating that he did absolutely fall for it. “Well you called me here for something? Also how long have you been a naga?” He asked as Cleo’s snickering silenced. “Well, this is something I wanted to show you.” She points to her snake body. “And for how long, well since I was born.” “So you just hid it?” Grian asked, hoping he wasn't pushing his limit with the giant snake lady. “Yea, well you hid your wings for a while too didn’t you?” She responded pointing at the scarlet macaw wings that were tucked to his back. Grian turned around to look at them moving them uncomfortably. “All I did was shift them into legs, X helped me with that.” She said, shaking the end of her tail a little. Her eyes looked at it with a soft lovingness. “That’s neat.” Grian said before asking, “So what exactly did you want me to do?” “Hmm, well mostly just sit still.” Cleo said, confusing Grian, but before he could ask what she meant the naga continued. “I’ve never eaten anything larger than a pig, so I wanted to try something bigger.” Grian’s eyes widened and he started backing up towards the direction he came from with his hands out in front of him as if that would somehow stop the giant snake from coming closer. He froze when he backed into the tail that surrounded the two. “Well have you tried it with Bdubs yet?” Grian asked, trying to shake off what he knew would probably be a death. Sure he knew nagas also have storage stomachs, but this wasn’t Mumbo, this was Cleo and Grian knew she was unpredictable to say the least. “Why would I do that?” She asked, most definitely hooked onto his fear. “He hasn’t done anything to bother me, on the other hand-” Her tail shot up, pushing Grian towards her as Cleo’s hand slid beneath his chin. “you have.” The avian’s stomach dropped, his heart thudded against his ribs so hard Grian thought it might just burst. Cleo’s smile grew, she could feel his pulse speed up as the naga’s fingers traced her prey’s neck. Grian had to fight back a purr that wanted to escape his throat. He felt numb, He stood there for a few minutes unable to move his eyes from the snakes’. His arm shot up pushing the clawed fingers away from his throat scratching his chin some, but the adrenaline kept him from entirely realizing it. Cleo let out a pissed hiss as Grian’s talons scratched at her, not aiming to hit, just to scare. When he had enough space to use his wings he turned around and with a small push used them to jump over the taller snake's tail. “Hey!!!” Cleo yelled after the running avain. Grian’s talons sliced through the dirt as he pushed hard against the ground. One large and helpful difference between the two was their bodies. Grian was light and with his wings giving a good push he could keep himself far ahead of the naga. In fact she was nowhere in sight but that doesn't mean Grian was going to slow down. So he pushed onwards until it became hard to breathe. When he started to slow down he then started to realize she had set him up back there. He still wasn’t in the clear, but it made sense. The thick foliage was still stuck over his head. He was quiet with his movements, they were still fast, but Grian avoided any sticks or leaf litter that could give him away. If given the chance he would pick up a stick and toss it far into another direction hoping that if the naga did manage to catch up it would head towards the noise and not him. He kept looking around, never really feeling completely free, or away. When he hit about mid way through the forest he turned towards the trees planting fake tracks before doing “tree hopping.” Most avians don’t do this after they get their wings, but as a kid you learned to do this so predators couldn’t find you. Grian now knows it was a bs way to try and give him and some of the other kids false hope, but they didn’t know that at the time. His heart stung a little as he remembered trying to teach his non-avian friends about it, but their feet just weren't good at gripping, and were much too heavy for some of the branches. Eventually the trees started to lower again and made it hard to hop at his size. Grian gently fell to the ground and started walking again. He continued like that for a while. His paranoia was leaving him, but so was his adrenaline he could feel the small scratch on his chin but it barely bothered him. 
Squinting his eyes off into the distance he sees the forest floor covered in sunlight. “Thank god.” He whispered aloud, his walking sped up as he approached the light. He felt something wrap around his arms but before he could tell what he was lifted off the ground. Looking up he saw a familiar tail and past that was a pair of reflective snake eyes. Grian struggled as he watched the snake body slither out of the tree. “You really thought I was going to let you get away.” She laughed. The avian didn’t look at Cleo as she shimmied onto the ground. “You're a funny little bird.” “You know running like that really worked up my appetite.” Grian looked over to the nagas face, he wanted to cry, but tried to keep it in as long as he could. Instead he bared his sharp fangs at Cleo as if it would do anything. “Ah so feisty aren't we.” Her slightly forked tongue slid out the nagas mouth teasingly before she took a breath in through her nose. “Mmm, such a pleasant smell.” Cleo adored the way Grian tried to hold back his fear. The avain wasn’t prepared as Cleo pushed her head right into the builders neck taking a deep inhale. She didn’t lie when she said he smelled amazing. Maybe she's just been around Joe so long that the sweet smell of someone else would be this great. Cleo couldn't help it though, Grian was also very easy to scare, she loved it. The snake backed away as something smacked her side. Looking over she saw the avain’s wings fall back behind him. She didn’t drop him though. Grian was beyond scared by now, tears formed at the edges of his eyes, his feathers stuck up and out like crazy and his chest was puffed in an attempt to make himself look bigger. “Hmmm.” She hummed, her smile growing and she let out a little chuckle. “Little G thinks he can scare a snake huh?” Her voice called teasingly while clawed fingers pressed at his side, unintentionally tickling him. Grian didn’t laugh though, but he did start to deflate some. His heart still beat a hundred miles an hour but his breath turned to panting. The avian blinked the tears from his eyes and watched as the snake went around him in circles trying to get a good visual on him. His wings were definitely well kept, and his smell was so addicting. Cleo had no idea how Mumbo and Impulse kept their cool around him. As she finished her circle Grian attempted to get out again. Using his wings he pushed and his talons lunged at the snake who dodged it and moved backwards to avoid being hit. “You just NEVER STOP, do you?” She snarled at him, Gian just stared back blankly. Cleo wasn’t going to get anything else out of him. He had either accepted it, or was just plain pissed. Either way she was feeling pretty empty, she had eaten before as she never planned on actually eating Grian. Though It still would be fun. Grian had stopped swinging his feet after she backed up so now she started to shift again. Life returned to Grian’s eyes in shock as the top half of Cleo’s body changed becoming scales and ended in a snake head. A forked tongue moved in and out of her mouth as the builder took it all in. Cleo tilted her head, then smiled, her mouth opened a sliver holding that same smile as she showed off her fangs. “Now these are what you call teeth my dear.” Her voice seemed slightly echoey. The avian again had no reaction and instead his head faced the ground, causing the snake to let out a disappointed hum. “Guess I’ll just get it over then if you’re so impatient.” Cleo hissed, saying the last word strongly. Grain's eyes left the ground as her jaws split open and charged at him. The avian was quick though, he used his wings to thrust his body forwards and then grabbed the jaws of the snake with his talons and stopped them open. Cleo was a little shocked but it died quickly, a look into his eyes showed no spark of confidence, just a serious and angry look derived from the fear he had expressed before. Cleo smiled, “This is interesting.” Grian had been known to be one of the few players to have a Dream body count, she could see why now. She pulled her head back with a crazed smile on her face. She laughed a little while the avain’s gaze grew more intense. His eyes quickly moved back to fear as he looked over his shoulder and saw more of the snake's tail coil around his body stopping all attempts to get out. His eyes flickered back to the snake, all the cold anger seemed to drain about as fast as it came. Grian still bared his teeth though, but he knew deep down, it was over for him. Cleo’s mouth sprang wide again and Grian was lifted, his feet dangling over the saliva coated jaws. He moved his legs as much as he could but it was no use. The snake took her sweet time placing him in salivating at the burst of flavor that hit her mouth. Drool slid down Cleo’s mouth and she wasn't afraid to show it. Slowly she uncoiled her tail from Grian’s legs and lifted it from her mouth. Soon after more of the birdman was lowered in. Cleo let out a long pleased hum, honestly she was upset with herself that she hadn't tried this before. As for Grian he gave up struggling, tears slid down his face as he cried silently. A thought hit him, sure it’s secluded but you never know when a hermit was flying over, maybe Grian could get some help. His pride would take a massive hit from it, but he’d rather that than being swallowed again. “HELP!!” Grian screamed from the top of his lungs, which were rather large. The scream seemed to startle the snake a little, as Cleo’s eyes widened. She took a quick glance around, or at least as much as she could with half of the avain’s legs in her mouth. After seeing no one around, the snake pushed down onto Grian’s legs a little, making him grunt. Because her mouth was full she glared at him in warning. Grian of course gave no response, he just painted and tried to move his legs a little to push the snake's jaws open again. Cleo seemed to sense this and her tail unwrapped around more of Grian’s legs as her mouth shot forwards, sucking the whole of legs and some of his lower belly into her mouth. The avain could feel the throat sucking at his talons and feet. It was definitely bigger than Mumbo’s, but it didn’t make him feel any better. More tail untwined and not much later he felt the first swallow. The coiled tail pulled at him as Cleo swallowed, making him let out an airy pained gasp. The snake saw it and her grip loosened slightly. Grian to say the least looked defeated, he was tired, and injured. He was now just hoping Cleo would make it quick, but guessing by all the sucking and drool it wasn’t going to speed up any time soon. Cleo’s tail became even looser, The builder didn’t even try and struggle as the snake took a strong gulp pushing half of his chest into her mouth. Grian could feel her breath go up his shirt making him shiver a little. The snake sucked for a little longer letting the saliva coat more of his body making the descent easier for the both of them. Then another strong swallow brought the builder’s head to the snake's lips. The tail untwined from his body leaving only his arms left in the tail. Cleo was smart and by now guessed if she freed his arm’s Grian might make another attempt at escape. With the avain’s wings covered in spit though, it made escape near impossible. Cleo hummed giving the builder a small heads up as the snake opened her jaws, she kept them open giving Grian a good view of his body as she swallowed. Grian got sucked in as it pulled him quickly down past the fangs, the top half of his chest was sticking out of the throat and Grian watched as the setting sun’s light mostly disappeared as his arms were freed. The avain tried his best to rub his sore wrists but when Cleo sensed movements she gave a light bite making the builder curl up a little, groaning in pain while his head touched the damp hard palate. The snake must have realized this and her jaws parted and her tongue came out gently rubbing his wrists, thankfully it didn’t seem for playful or bad intent, just to make Grian feel a little better. “Thanks Cleo.” He said, now it felt nowhere near as intense as before. The snake let out her best ‘you’re welcome’ trying not to bite down on the arms that stuck out of her mouth. They both sat catching their breath for a little, Grian’s heart slowed down. Don’t get him wrong he was still scared, but Cleo wasn’t trying to hurt him, meaning she was most likely not to actually eat him. So this really was just a swallow size test like the snake mentioned earlier.  “Ready?” she asked, Grian wanted to feel angry, but she had been gentle when swallowing and was most likely giving him a honest chance to back out. “Honestly no, but are you really giving me a choice?” Grian asked, making them both chuckle a little. “No.~” She said in a sassy yet playful tone. “Alright you oversized snake get it over with before I change my mind and my talons go through your neck.” Grian said in his most threatening, yet tired voice. “Tired?” Cleo asked, her tongue tickling the builder's chin and making him bite back another grunt as she hit his scratches. “Yea, oh wait crap.” He lifted his head up to quickly accidentally hitting the roof of Cleo’s mouth making them both grunt. “Sorry, I just remembered, I was in such a hurry to get here I promised Mumbo I’d help him out in a couple hours.” Grian gently rubbed where he hit his head on the snake’s mouth. “Do you think you can let me out then?” “Mhm.” Cleo responded, Grian felt her throat move to start a swallow and he held his breath then felt as it tugged him down. The tip of his head remained out of the snake's throat, but Cleo was quicker now that he was in it. She quickly swallowed again, shoving him down so now only Gian’s fingers gently felt at the edge of the mouth and opening of the throat. Cleo stopped to make a comment. “I can see why they call you Grain.” She chuckled, causing the avain’s face to get squished repeatedly until he pulled his arms down to keep his head from hitting her throat. “Seriously though dude, you are mouthwatering.” Cleo told him, Grains panic began to rise again and his heart raced. This caused Grian to kick out a little instinctually. He felt something pushed against his back, probably her tail and he hoped he didn’t scratch her. He still pushed against the throat as it tried to squash his face. Cleo swallowed again forcing the avian’s arms against his face, but he preferred that over the slimy walls. He couldn’t tell if the snake’s swallows were getting more gentle, or maybe the Avain was just that big to her. All he really could tell is it would be a while before he got anywhere out of Cleo’s gullet. She swallowed again, and nearly as soon as he stopped she did it again. When Cleo stopped to take a breath, Grian managed to ask, “How much more do I have to go?” The snake let out a hum in thought. “Maybe 5 or 6 more, why?” She was smiling no doubt about that. “Because this is getting very old-” He stopped as he shifted to get more comfortable, “very quickly.” He finished. Cleo laughed at that nudging at his back once more, in return he pushed against the wall with his shoulders. He was stopped though as he was compressed once again and there was another swallow. “This is going to be just as horrible the other way isn’t it?” The snake laughed again, stopping mid swallow. “Yea it probably is.” She said, still snickering a little. Grian let out an annoyed ugg witch the giant snake seemed to hear as she laughed a little more before continuing to swallow. Cleo now started to drop the more gentle swallows for some more force hoping to send the avain down faster. It seemed to have worked though as the builder seemed to slide the farthest he had yet. Cleo also sped up again, one after the other, then the final one. Grian was pushed into a more open area. He laid there, it wasn’t as open or nearly as big as Mumo’s storage, but at least he had some more space. The snake’s body began to move, possibly back up into the trees as Grian could feel himself being lifted off the ground. The avain did his best to stay still during the whole thing and when Cleo finally stopped moving he could feel his body being hung between two branches. “Are you alright in there?” She asked softly, while gently nudging at the slight bulge with her nose. Grian let an annoyed huff exit his nose before answering. “Physically? Yes I think so, emotionally? No, not at all.” He answered honestly, this caused Cleo to gently wrap her tail around him, giving him a sort of hug. “It was fun to scare you though.” She said in a sorry not sorry like tone. This made the avain kick at the fleshy walls a little bit, and in response Cleo squished Grian a little startling him. The builder flipped around onto his side, he hated the mix of the dark and the wet squishy walls that surrounded him. He thought about HIM, how did it feel when- “Grian? G?” Cleo’s frantic worried voice sounded like an alarm. “Hmm?” The avian asked confused, he could tell the snake was actually concerned. “You- you’re crying Grian.” The snake said, only then did Grian start to feel the salty tears that flowed down his face. “O-oh I am, aren't I?” He asked sniffling a little, “S-sorry.” “I- Grian It’s alright. I should be the one apologizing, I didn’t think I scared you that bad.” Grian shook his head, he could feel his hair trace the roof of the stomach. “It’s not you, at least not completely. It’s uh s-something else.” Grian said cryptically, curiosity did kill the cat though and even if Cleo was a snake, what was really stopping her from asking. “Want to talk about it?” She asked the smaller hermit she was currently hugging. “Not really no.” He said and although she really wanted to ask she stopped herself. Grian yawned, making the snake chuckle. “Awww am I that comfortable?” Cleo teased, her hug stopping as she gently rubbed her tail against the slight bulge. “Mmm shush.” Grian responded, giving a gentle push against the fleshy wall. He then remembered how it felt when Mumbo rubbed his crop, it was surely going to get a reaction out of Cleo. So Grian did that, rubbing the safe stomach’s walls he can tell Cleo was trying her best not to let out a pleasured hiss. “Come on, you know you want to.” Grian teased, he was damn right too, honestly it shocked the snake a little how even when the man was captured he found a way to mess with people. “Sc-crew off Grian.” The giant hissed at him holding her breath and puffing out her cheeks. “Huh? Sorry what? I couldn't hear you all too well.” Grian sassed, smiling and laughing a little. The avain knew he won when a happy hiss escaped the snake's lips, Cleo squished him again but it didn’t stop him from continuing. It went on until Grian yawned again. “You want to sleep?” Cleo asked with a motherly softness in her voice. “I- yea, could you remember to wake me up in an hour?” Grian asked, his voice was much softer, but the snake could still hear it. “I can try.” Cleo responds softly like Grian, who could feel as she laid her head over the small bulge he made. This made the avian push at her very weakly before yawning again. He snuggled his face in his arms and curled his legs closer to him, passing out very swiftly. Grian could hear voices yelling and something pushed against him. It was wet and warm, but suddenly there was cold and wind. He curled up tighter, shivering, then he fell for a split second onto something much warmer. His eyes never opened. He was too tired but he felt something warm and dry that slightly curled around him and so he reached for it. He pulled it towards him, it was a little hard but he managed to pull it over him and he snuggled closer feeling his shivering lessen some. Grian must have passed out and he woke up at his house, he was on his bed with a blanket half on him. Mumbo was passed out on his desk and when he moved his leg a little he felt warm fur. Pushing himself up there was Jelly curled around Scar. Grian quietly and slowly sat up trying not to wake either of them as he put his feet over the edge of the bed. As soon as he did, his communicator went off. <em>ZombieCleo: I’m sorry about yesterday, X told me about the farm I didn’t realize.” Grian: how much did he tell you about it? He messaged back and panicked. ZombieCleo: Only that you were raised in one called Evo. Grian: Did you tell anyone else? ZombieCleo: Joe, why? Grian: Has he told anyone else? ZombieCleo: I’ll ask.</em> A few minutes passed and she answered, Grian had been changing his clothes while he heard the dig sound.
Picking it back up he saw Cleo’s answer/ <em>Cleo: No he hadn’t why?</em> Grian sighed before answering, <em>Grian: Sorry, sorry I just, I don’t want people to know, especially Mumbo. Cleo: Okay, I won't say anything and I’ll tell Joe too. Grian:Thanks Cleo. Cleo: Did they tell you? Grian: Tell me what? Cleo: Oh, I thought Mumbo or Scar would have. Grian: They aren't awake, why did something happen? Cleo: Yeah kinda, Mumbo and Scar came looking for you because I fell asleep by accident. Grian: Oh Cleo: Mumbo assumed the worst apparently Grian: What do you mean by that? Cleo: He thought I actually ate you, and ended up threatening to cut me open. Grian: I- he did WHAT!? Cleo: Yeah, He even grew just so he could pin me down.</em>
Grian froze for a little, his breathing sped up, of course Grian was scared of that whole situation, but Cleo made it obvious she wasn't going to hurt him. The thing that scared him more was Mumbo’s size growth, he still wasn’t over that. <em>Grian: You’re okay right? Cleo: Yeah, I spit you up and we went our separate ways. Also I don’t blame him, please don’t yell at him, he was worried, I would feel bad if that happened. Grian: Alright, thanks Cleo, sorry about Mumbo. Cleo: Ehhh its okay, stay safe G Grian: Yea you too. </em> Grian lifted his head to look at the passed out shifter on his desk, he could feel the feathers on his back rise for the first time in a few weeks. @noireovertures you did this to me *shakes* <3

Old art #18: Self portrait
Tumblr media
Lol I found this one I had made for my DeviantArt profile in I'm guessing 2011, so I was probably 17. I was not that cute. Arina Tanemura was in my head. (Can you tell how much I had been reading Shinshi Doumei Cross, just by looking at that hair and face? Wasn't that some manga, huh. Would certainly spark... conversations these days. But even looking back, there were a few things that were quite captivating and great about it.)
Meet my whole cat gang. If you've been here a while, you already know Bell, she's the grey one. A little princess with two braincells and a bottomless stomach. Eats literally like a snake, without chewing. She's the pinnacle of self-centredness which she gets away with because she's just so dumb. Also very loud and fond of crocodile tears. Really, the complete lack of self-awareness is impressive. The way she walks through life sticking her butt and puke exactly where she pleases at any time she pleases reminds me of the people I was always kinda jealous of. The ones who can be as unapologetically annoying, shallow, selfish and boasty as they want and most people still love them. Probably because they are very pretty and perceived to be too stupid to be held accountable for their lack of consideration of others. Bell is also so pretty everyone compliments her face, her bones, her colour and the pattern of her fur. My drawing really doesn't do her much justice. Her beauty is very superficial and decreases significantly as soon as she moves or opens her mouth, because she just looks that dumb doing anything. But alas, I love her.
Then we have Aatu, the black one, who is Bell's kitten actually. Still small in this picture but he grew up looking a lot like his dad who was a neighbourhood cat and the biggest one I had ever seen. Very hairy, clearly some Norwegian forest cat in him. Aatu ran away when he was two, but I think in truth he just got hit by a car or eaten by a fox because he had zero self-preservation instinct and half a braincell. He went towards all animals and cars in oblivious curiosity as they approached him. He was attracted to the vacuum cleaner when it was on. He was literally not scared of anything. He thought he was a dog, an owl, a cow, and also human. He loved when you made him slide across the floor. He loved to be dragged around and ruffled in all ways. He didn't know how to hiss, growl or make any type of angry or dissatisfied sound. He was very, very happy. Apparently too happy and unbothered by anything to survive.
Then there's Nöpö, the big one. He died a few years ago at 17. He was our first cat. Braincell count would compare to a human. Very sensitive, very angry, dominating but also gentle, intelligent, pessimistic and depressed. The look of his build resembled that of a lot bigger wild cats, especially when he hunted. He wanted his own space, didn't enjoy people initiating touch, he would come to you instead when he wanted it. He was always like that but it got worse when Bell came into the house and was her charming self. Nöpö's nervous system clearly couldn't handle sharing his territory and had I been able to anticipate it, I wouldn't have taken Bell. Nöpö did everything with so much more care and attention. He needed time and space, he wouldn't even be able to eat with Bell, because she gulped everything down while Nöpö chewed each bite with care, and nothing would be left for him because Bell has no concept of moderation. So Nöpö would always need to be fed in a closed room. He would attack people and other cats frequently because he just had a very strong hunting instinct ever since he was born and didn't like anyone too close unless he asked for it. But he was also very cuddly when he wanted to be, and he didn't want his people to go too far away. He would come crying after me every time I went to get mail. Classic example of "Leave me alone, no wait, where are you going??" I miss that grumpy old guy.
This wasn't supposed to be about cats but there you go.

If Kato isn't enough to stop Hyuga, Sakyo and Ukyo are actually burly enough to carry him around if they needed - unless Hyuga's very feral enough to bite their ears off. Hopefully he knows they are friends, not food. Someone should start telling Hyuga that. He needs to heard it.

When it comes to apocalyptic situations, that would depend on what type of apocalyptic situation it is. But, for the most part, I could never survive. I don't know. With my size.. Kidnapped, raped, murdered and eaten by cannibals. If I was in purgatory apocalypses like Borderlands then.. I can say that diamonds and possibly hearts might be may best games (depending on the heart game), club is 50/50 depending who I'm working with as teammates - even though I do most things better when I'm alone, spades is definitely my worst game. So there's that. But if there talking about different types of apocalyptic situations, I'm sure it completely depends on which type of apocalypse it is then. If I am trying to survive the apocalypse. But I probably wouldn't survive.
~
The power of friendship through violence. Boys will be boys since lots of them are stupid that way. But that might how I seem them though.
Out of the SWORD leaders.. Rocky is definitely the closest to Cobra (based on the End Of Sky movie). But he respects the other leaders.
Murayama's close to everyone in his own way. Like the entire concept "friendship through violence", this also includes the other schools too.
Being the main protagonist, Cobra's close to just about everyone with SWORD. But it also depends on the timelines for everyone involved.
The fact that Hyuga choose SWORD gangs over Kuryu and Doubt by the end. Granted he did want revenge against Sannoh and Kuryu, his feelings of hatred towards Kuryu was stronger than his hatred for any SWORD gangs. Which is how they became frienemies with everyone.
What about Rude Boys?
~
That's why. I never watched The Worst crossover show, mostly since I can never find the show on any site. And I'm not watching few minute clips like that because that would annoy me too much for me to enjoy the show. But that's how I am though.
And, for Smoky, I think they planned to kill him since the beginning.. I can say that I'm not surprised about that. I'm curious to know to what could have happened in he survived, if he was able to survive anyway.

Like I know everyone has their preferences in the type of person they are attracted to. Based on appearance and personality. But seriously? They're too picky about men. This is why these stupid girls are single.
For Rocky. Just because he owns his businesses, his clubs, that does not mean the man is a party animal. The man wanted a safe space for women to enjoy themselves without creepy men harassing them. But for his hygiene.. Just because he wears his grilles every day, does not mean he doesn't clean the accessory. Actually! In the movie when the White Rascals was attacked by Mighty Warriors in Club Heaven, there was even guys complaining when their clothes got dirty from fighting and Rocky said that they should keep their appearance keep because that what the women would want. They stay presentable for women.
If those girls actually spent more time hanging around Sannoh, then I could have seen him being friendlier with the girls. But no. They're just so busy complaining about these guys without knowing any of them.
Murayama attended Oya school not because he was unintelligent but because he had behavior problems. Maybe because of a disorder. But that's also another possibility too.. He just wasn't ready to to grow up.
And Hyuga was said and done worse than sitting on a car. And there's Murayama who rode on top of giant trucks instead of cars like Hyuga.
These girls should having a pros and cons list before complaining.
Exactly. Takeru has the best luck with women, Masaki has the worst luck with women, and Hiroto never seems to realize when they're just flirting with them because of his natural charm he doesn't know he is known for. He's this pretty himbo man who flirts without realizing it.
~
I wasn't sure what I thought your sign would be, but now I know what your sign. I'm a Leo.

If I already have face claims in mind.. Most of the times, I may already have personalities in mind for most characters. Or when I'm overthinking about details my stories, characters, music, and everything else I can think of.
Anything from their personality, habits, mannerisms, likes, dislikes or favorites. Maybe disabilities if they have any. Anything or everything.
Details that no else really cares about.
~
That's what was funny to me.
Because when I asked you about what type of person they would be attracted to.. I was genuinely curious about your own about their type of person they would like. And it was funny to me because a lot of the types you described where the types of my characters, especially the orange character. She's the sun, he's the moon. The opposites attract between them concept. She's this bubbly person but also can be very protective person when she has to protect who and what matters the most to her. She might be able to help Cobra back to being his old self too, at least less broading but a lot more happier. Maybe. Did I also mention that, out of the three color coded characters, she is the shortest of them? Because why not have another short character.
And blue character. Like I said.. She comes from a big family. I've just imagined her as one of five children, this middle child, so she actually knows how to care for her older and younger siblings. So she's a really sisterly type of friend. Which is why I wasn't so sure if she would be in romantic ships with anyone for that reason - I'm not saying yes, or no. She's modest. Humble. Was probably so happy when Cobra humbled Murayama enough for him to come to his senses. That's where I have gotten her competitiveness from. Despite her quiet nature, she is still the tomboy of my own characters. She might be a bit indulgent when food and drinks are involved. Possibly artistic. Close to her family and friends. And since, to my knowledge, Oya is an all boys school.. I have never visibly seen girls at the school - besides Oshiage and also Shiba coming to harass her brother Shibaman. But no girls in the school. So I don't know if there's a "sister school" within that area. Which is why I said Blue and Orange went to the same school, and the same classes.
Now that I think about it. Blue and Orange can be very indulgent with food and drinks. So Itokan is probably one of the restaurants they will go to frequently, along with Odake's Bar and Club Heaven for drinks. Club Heaven is also for dancing. Orange definitely loves dancing as a hobby for her. Maybe that's how my characters are close to Rocky (and the other Rascals)? Despite them being apart of other gangs in some way, Rocky's always protective towards them in a friendly way.
I'll work on my red character when I have an idea for her.

As someone who has issues with my family, I understand how that is.
So the relationship with her and Hyuga are childhood friends, almost like siblings, for as long as they've known each other? That was kinda one idea I had for Red, but I wasn't completely sure about it though.
Yeah. An opposites attract. That's another concept I liked.. When only one of them grew up too fast, for whatever reason, then there's a very childish one who knows to live life. The childish one helps them being more youthful, while the mature helps the other mature. Kinda, sorta.
Déjà vu. My boy Gun-woo gets his face his face carved with a knife, but I can say his battle scars are actually attractive to me though.

I tend to isolate myself whenever I'm in a mood so I know that feeling.
Kinda like my Blue character. Kinda. But not really. They're both types who are tomboys, except your character has a strong energy to her?

Weapons are open to interpretation? Like for the most part, I know so many of them prefer using their hands for purity reasons (not that the way they fight is pure). But Rocky has his cane - the Rascals even use asps to hit people like Dan, Hyuga might use weapons when he is in a extra violent mood. Sannoh won't. Oya won't. But Rude Boys may use homemade weapons though in certain situations. Warriors might use weapons, same with Kuryu. Doubt will because they're killing anyone. And for the other schools like Oya, I don't think they would ever use a weapon either. So some characters might really use weapons though.
~
Well.. When it comes to my Rocky headcanons, I'd already mentioned a lot of my romantic and sexual headcanons about him to you before.
But there are some headcanons that I haven't mentioned to you yet.
These might be more projecting? But I could see Rocky doing a lot of these things too. Though that might be how I could see his character.
Rocky seems like a sensual man when he wants to be. Whether these actions lead to sex or not (since this does not have to be sexual), I can see him being the type to bathe with his partner. I imagine him as the man to buy his partner perfumes, lotions, body washes just so he can use the body washes on her while they're bathing and rubbing lotions in her skin after they bathe. Whenever they do bathe together. But it's only if she is fine with bathing with him. I could imagine him as a man who dresses and undresses his woman (in a non sexual way) but only if she's comfortable with that. So you can't tell me he doesn't care for his health and hygiene since those bitches are stupid. Which is a part of my other headcanon. If his woman has mental disabilities like even depression for example.. When she's so depressed that she also stops caring about her health and hygiene, I could imagine him helping her. He bathes her, dresses her, feeds her and brushes her teeth. Literally. If she can't do basic care over herself, I can see him helping her when she needs it the most. But that headcanon is my projection onto him.
Based on the facts I told you about White Rascals. I know Rocky watches, or used to watch anime when he was a child. During his time off from working, his time is spend watching television with his partner. I can even see some of the shows and movies they'd watch together is anime. I might be projecting this.
Another sexual headcanon I have is that because of how patient he is with women.. I know this could be said about any woman. But if she's inexperience (maybe even a virgin), I imagine him being extra patient with her. Not that he isn't always patient with women. But if she has a little to no experience with physical intimacies like kissing and sex, he will help her at their own pace when it comes to physical affections.
There's also another sexual headcanon for Rocky. For two reasons.. The first reason is because of Keiji's comment in an old interview, and the second reason is because of Rocky's sweet tooth for lollipops any time he eats candy. But he's skilled with his mouth. So he knows how to use his tongue, so he's skilled with kissing and oral. I blame this on Keiji.
Any headcanons that we could think of should be said whenever we think of one, because who knows if we might actually have the same or even different ideas with these characters. Or any characters. Maybe. That depends. But still.
~
Yes! So do I. If they decide to continue these shows, especially Bloodhounds. And also Extracurricular.
Like.. Okay. I know sometimes they change details from a book, comic, webtoon, whatever because so many people believe that those changes will be one big unexpected twist to the plot. But not always. So many live adaptions from other media is not always a good thing to me, most of the time it's not even a good thing at all. And don't forget shock values too.
Definitely. That was definitely a twisted movie, so I don't know how dark you are willing to go whenever horror movies are involved. But because of how the graphic violence is in the whole movie, they banned the movie in most countries. So that's your decision if you ever want to watch a gory movie like that.
hyuga is a fighty lil bitch who unfortunately (fortunately) surrounded himself with taller, strong dudes that can just pick him up and drag him away when he gets too feral.
oh i am dying immediately in any apocalyptic situation. not even a chance of survival. i’m bad at running, i’ve got a half-dozen medications i’m on that i have to take daily, if i’m landing in the borderlands i’m taking the immediate L because i don’t think i’m smart enough or physically gifted enough to win any of it. i have all the survival skills of an over-pampered small dog.
~
the whole ‘sword alliance’ is so a power of friendship thing. like too bad, kuryu, yall can’t beat them, they got the power of being besties and kicking ass on their side.
the leaders definitely have this loop of respect between them, even if the majority initially voted against the alliance. though even despite that, they all showed up at the end when rocky and the rascals needed help (even if hyuga had to get his ass beat first but i view that as being more about the formation of the alliance and that he would’ve shown up to help even if he’s won the fight).
murayama really just wanted to be friends with everyone. and also fight them. because it’s fun to him and i think he assumes the others feel the same way. (i mean. cobra and hyuga probably do, at least).
hyuga really said ‘fine, i’ll stick with these guys’ after cobra yelled at him in his face and then turned around to burst into tears over his bestie noboru. like it’s so funny.
i think the rude boys tend to stick to themselves. i don’t think they get too close to anyone who isn’t from nameless. they have respect for the other groups, but they are keeping them at arms’ length (i mean, they didn’t even tell anyone smokey was sick). i can see them maybe being closest with sannoh, if only because their locations are so close to each other.
~
i’ve watched one full episode of the ‘6’ and i had to do it in the firefox app because i could not stand the thought of having to watch an ad between every 2 minute clip.
oh they definitely planned for him to die. i knew that from the second he was coughing up blood, that’s always a ‘this character’s gonna die’ sign. still sad though.
they have a full range of men to choose from but all they’re doing is complaining. girls, stay single then if you wanna (incorrectly) pick apart every dude around. naomi go get ur man tho, he’s over there being a tall and handsome idiot.
masaki is in hell watching women throw themselves at hiroto, who just doesn’t realise it. every time they leaves a situation like that, masaki goes ‘you know she was flirting with you, right?’ and hiroto just ‘huh???’. the himbo energy is coming off in waves from these two.
~
cobra definitely needs to get that fun dude brought back out. i think noboru being back and kuryu being taken down will certainly help take a weight of him too.
my two girls are both on the shorter side. ryuko’s about 5’1 and hinami’s 5’2. i couldn’t find ryuko’s fc’s height, but yuri tsunematsu is actually 5’2. it’s a short girl party.
im just thinking of your blue character seeing cobra kick murayama’s ass and just go ‘oh thank god, it’s about time’ to herself because murayama was way too cocky for his own good and in need of being taken down a peg. when you say she’s artistic, do you mean in the drawing way or the writing way? because both are interesting choices.
they grew up together while the hyuga brothers were still in kuryu. being the youngest, they were kinda stuck together to keep them out of the ‘adults’ business’. with hyuga actually being able to leave and be a regular kid, ryuko used to barrage him with questions because she didn’t get to experience actual life. he kind of views her like a little sister he didn’t want, but still cares about - he’s also a bit protective because he often saw the aftermath of her father abusing her. also he’s literally the only person she knows outside of kuryu at the beginning, which is why when she runs away, she goes to him. i actually wrote about it in the fic i posted today, uncaged. shameless fic plug aaa
ryuko and murayama really help balance each other out. ryuko gets to have the fun she never had as a kid, murayama gets help with the more mature stuff that can sometimes confuse him. they meet at a good middle. also murayama is there to witness her fighting this ryu faction guy and is just like ‘she’s so cool 😍’.
hinami is this quiet tomboy type who you’d think was chill - and usually she is - until you see her in a race, especially against p or yu. she can get very intense about it because she’s so determined to win but hasn’t managed to yet.
i know the rascals and some of the daruma guy use weapons (idk about hyuga, i think he likes to be more hands-on), and the rude boys sometimes use stuff in their surroundings; but the sannoh and oya guys are very ‘fists only’.
ryuko uses weapons on account of being raised in the assassin group of kuryu and learning a little bit by watching them train. she’s a natural talent with bladed weaponry. (and she’s also just. fuelled by rage over her childhood situation. congrats minamoto, your daughter is a dragon, but she’s also your enemy).
hinami is self taught with her aim just because there’s not a whole lot to do growing up in nameless, also because it’s easier for her to not be in the middle of a fight so she’s the long range helper. imagine, you’re in a fight and you’re winning against some rude boy punk, and then you just get clocked in the temple by a disk of glass. going down like goliath.

i can absolutely see rocky as the guy this experienced kind of guy that really looks after his girl, and not even in just the sexual way. the thought of him being stern but caring with a depressed gf is so sweet, like he knows it’s hard for her and he’s going to help however he can.
here’s some murayama and takeshi headcanons, maybe partly biased. trading headcanons like they’re pokemon cards ajskjfl
i imagine murayama as a very handsy lover, not only in a sexual way, but in a casual way too. he holds his gf’s hand, pulls her in against his side and holds her waist, sits her on his lap. it’s all very casual to him, he just likes having them close.
i also think murayama shows off way more in fights if he knows his girl is watching. he pulls out all the stunts, but he’s also a lil distracted, sometimes glancing over at her to see her reactions. he wants to impress her! when he wins - because of course he does - he goes to get a very pda victory kiss.
i just know murayama likes to have his hair played with. if his gf is sitting down on a couch, he’s lying down to dump his head in her lap, hoping she’ll run her fingers through his hair. he finds it calming. napping boyfriend x quietly reading girlfriend aesthetic.
biased opinion but takeshi is the jealous type. he’s not toxic about it, but he’s a lil possessive. just glowering over his gf’s shoulder at some dude hitting on her. he touches her waist or holds her hand so other guy’s know she’s taken.
i know i’ve mentioned the other guys doing bike-riding dates and tak has a bike too, but i imagine takeshi has a few places around nameless that he likes to take girls; places where you can see the pretty parts of nameless city that people don’t expect to find there or just the best places to watch the sunset.
takeshi is just soft for his gf. always staring with heart eyes at her, genuinely complimenting her - not just on her appearance but on her skills and personality, kissing her on the cheek. he is just so into her. p and yu tease him about it and he’s only slightly embarrassed because his gf is ‘beautiful and smart and the best, shut up’.

Watermelon For Dogs - Is It ideal? Watermelon is a low-calorie summertime treat for many people. Dog owners, on the other hand, are frequently unsure whether this unusual fruit is also suited as a dog treat. can dogs eat watermelon: Watermelon is safe for dogs to consume. For a long time, I assumed this until a friend informed me her dog had diarrhea after eating a few pieces of watermelon. That's why we're looking into whether or not our canine companions are permitted to consume melon. Melons are light and pleasant, with only a few calories. That is why, especially in the summer, they are a favourite snack. Many dog owners ask if melons are safe for their pets. What types of melons can dogs eat? The finest melon varieties for dogs: During the peak summer melon season, you can get various types of melon in the supermarket than watermelon: Melon with honeydew Melon de Charentais Sugar melon  These melons, like watermelon, can be eaten in little chunks, but they often contain more sweetness. As a result, a watermelon with fewer seeds is a better dog treat. Melons are members of the cucurbit family botanically. The word "melon" is Greek in origin. It literally means "large apple." The melon, on the other hand, is more closely linked to a cucumber than an apple. While watermelon is in season throughout the summer, sweet melon and honeydew melon are accessible throughout the year. Watermelon When you tap the surface of a ripe watermelon, you will hear a dull, hollow sound. The most well-known variety is watermelon. They can be up to 15 kilos in weight and contain up to 95% water. The fruit's high water content makes it a great thirst quencher. Sugar Melon, Honeydew Melon Sugar melons range in shape from oval to spherical and can weigh up to four kilos. Depending on the species, the flesh is green, yellow, white, pink, or orange. The honeydew melon, cantaloupe melon, netted melon, and Galia melon are all sugar melons. When sugar melons are mature, they have a nice sweet aroma and yield slightly when pressed. Melons help with digestion When it comes to ingredients, melons are sometimes overlooked. They are high in vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, and calcium. Sugar melons have a higher vitamin and mineral content than their watery cousins. Melons, in general, dehydrate the body and encourage digestion. Can a dog eat a lot of melon? It is exactly because of this that not all dogs tolerate melons well. Melons elicit unfavorable reactions in some animals, despite the fact that they are completely non-toxic. This is usually diarrhea or strong flatulence. As a result, you should only give your dog minimal amounts of food at first. Then see how the dog's digestion responds. Is it safe for dogs to eat melon seeds? Prussic acid, which is poisonous, is commonly found in fruit seeds. Prussic acid is not present in melon seeds. As a result, the seeds would not hurt dogs. However, consuming too many melon seeds can cause digestive problems. In addition, there is a risk of intestinal obstruction in small dog breeds. As a result, it's advisable to get rid of all the seeds. You also don't have to remove every seed from the watermelon if your dog weighs more than 20 kilograms. Can a watermelon eat by dogs? A piece of cooled watermelon is a fantastic summer snack if your dog tolerates melon. Never, ever, ever give a hefty chunk of rind. While most dogs like playing with the hard rind, it does pose a danger. If the dog chews off pieces and swallows them, he will quickly choke. Watermelons' skins are also frequently treated with insecticides to help the fruit last longer during transportation. It is preferable to chop little pieces of melon to avoid unpleasant results. Give the fruit directly from your hand as a treat. This may be done with both watermelons and sweet melons. Sugar melons, on the other hand, contain far more sugar than their name suggests. Sugar melon should only be fed in moderation to overweight animals.
Melon Ice Cream for Dogs (DIY) You may easily prepare a unique treat for your pet at home. Watermelon flesh should be pureed and frozen in tiny molds. On hot summer days, you can enjoy melon ice cream in this manner. Allow your pet to lick it. My dogs adore the ice cream because it is so tasty and refreshing. Is melon beneficial to dogs? Melons are generally disliked by some dogs. Others, on the other hand, relish the opportunity to consume them. You can quickly see whether your dog is allergic to melon since it causes him to have diarrhea. Watermelon can be fed to your dog in between meals in all other instances. Then there's nothing stopping your dog from enjoying a tasty treat while visiting the quarry pond. You should nevertheless provide adequate water, especially on hot days, because a few pieces of melon will not suffice. Watermelons affect each dog differently In general, it is impossible to say if a dog will tolerate watermelon as a fruit or not. Although watermelon is not dangerous to dogs in little amounts, some dogs may have an adverse reaction to this odd feast.  As with any fruit, you should always start with little pieces and check if your dog reacts negatively. In the worst-case scenario, your dog will either refuse to eat the watermelon or will get diarrhea as a result of the sugar and water content. Hand-feeding chilled watermelons Dogs are also affected by the heat during the summer, and they may be more interested in watermelon that has been kept chilled in the cellar or refrigerator.  Even if you think giving your dog large pieces of melon with the rind will encourage him to play and keep him occupied, it is best not to.  Feeding chunks of red pulp directly from the hand eliminates the chance of the dog choking on a piece of the often tough skin.

Last Legacy: Main 4 with Kids
Hello! This is my first time writing headcanons or anything on my own account, so please be gentle with me. Feel free to send requests for other characters or concepts!
Anisa
Certified Good With Kids! She probably actually babysat when she was younger.
Kids LOVE Anisa.
She’s definitely the “we have food at home” kind of babysitter (unless MC is the one asking for McDonald’s). But when the kids ask for snacks, she goes all out. She cuts the carrot slices into little flowers and makes it fun.
Anisa manages to do everything in a way that the parents would approve of while still making it fun and positive for the kids.
She tells REALLY good bedtime stories. She takes her own experiences with the Starsworn and embellishes them with details from fairytales.
If Anisa is your babysitter, you will have eaten all your veggies, brushed your teeth, and gone to bed on time and you won’t even have noticed because you had so much fun.
She loves babies. If she sees a baby on the street she will stop and compliment it and the mother, coo at them, baby talk, etc.
Knows exactly how to hold babies. She can’t identify every kind of cry, but she is better than the general population at figuring out why a kid is crying and what they want.
I think that whether Anisa would have kids would be dependent on her partner. Also if her partner wanted to or was willing to carry, she would go for that, but if her partner wanted kids but didn’t want to carry a baby she would be willing to take that for them.
Felix
Certified Bad With Kids.
(And not just because Felix and I are really similar and I am bad with kids… aha.)
Kids ask him to play with him and he struggles so hard to not argue with them. He wants to tell them that their storyline is unrealistic, that the characters they’re playing with aren’t named that.
“Actually, that’s Apple Jack, not Sarah, and she is not Flutteryshy’s sister” type beat.
He tries to get the kids to eat healthy stuff. They whine. At first he openly argues with them but then they get upset and he does NOT want to go back and have the kids tell their parents that he made them cry, so ultimately he relents and lets them do whatever they want.
*kid touches him* “........... why is it sticky”
*accidentally refers to kids as “it” all the time*
Bordering on having an anxiety attack when kids spill juice and or crumbs everywhere or have the goopy little mouths.
Felix thinks he would be a bad dad. Not that he for sure doesn’t want kids, especially if he has a loving partner that wants kids and is willing to work with him. But he just feels like it would take an astronomical amount of therapy for him to be ready to be a father.
Tries to relate to kids by sharing his interests! It goes very poorly every time! :) kids do not enjoy animal bones and skin, generally.
Except if there’s one of those chill “creepy” kids that don’t talk and just listen (I’m really just describing like an autistic kid) I think they would vibe (I was the chill creepy autistic kid btw). If the kid started infodumping he would be like “oh, chill.” He starts talking about one of the books he really liked as a kid and this kid is listening and so they just chill.
Overall, his babysitting career is very short.
Sage
FUN UNCLE.
EVERYTHING IS ALLOWED
“MCDONALDS! MCDONALDS! MCDONALDS!”
Your kid comes back home with a double scoop ice cream cone in each hand and bandages all over, they are NOT going to sleep tonight.
Sage is overbearing for shy kids at first, but he feels really bad if he scares anyone. Very gentle if he finds out that the kid needs him to be quieter and slower.
Ends up carrying any kids that don’t really get along with the others, or if they need more comfort.
That photo of Chris Hemsworth holding his kid by the ankle.
Vegetables and bedtimes are for Losers, says Sage.
Parents do not like him. Sage is an absolute last resort babysitter. Parents would rather just cancel their date night, mostly.
Does not know how to hold a baby properly.
Gets WAY too into pretend games. I feel like he never really had a childhood, growing up an orphan and everything. So he really likes to just let his inner child go crazy.
You can dress him in a princess dress and he will be “the prettiest fucking princess you’ve ever seen!”
“Language, Sage!” - Anisa
Had to take care of Tulsi, so he’s good with older kids too.
For angsty teens and tweens, Sage is the best caretaker. He’s a bit bulletproof. Good older brother figure. Both Anisa and Felix would take it too personally.
Probably also thinks he would be a bad dad and doesn’t deserve it. If his SO really super wants kids, he will relent. But they would have to be super loving and willing to go through anything with him. I think after his latest chapters, MC has proven that they love and trust him enough.
Rime
Pre death Rime? Very similar to Anisa. A little impersonal. A rules stickler, less fun.
Post-death?
Don’t
Please do not hire Our Rime as a babysitter.
Your kids WILL be alive and in one piece, probably.
But he’s trying to be the fun uncle, but straight up never says no.
Sage will say no to the kids if something is dangerous.
Rime’s mindset is pretty much “well, they have to learn somehow.”
*lets kids cut their own vegetables* *kid cuts themselves* “well, what did you expect?”
He still wraps up the wound and stuff, of course. He’s not THAT cruel. That said, he hands them the knife and tells them to try again.
I don’t think post-death Rime wants kids. He wants to focus on himself and his SO. I think that’s a pretty solid boundary for him, even after a redemption arc.
Overall, I think he would try to avoid kids as much as possible.

I've been thinking about these 3 alot...
Tumblr media
... and how much they seem to really respect Shino. I know it's a filler, but, like... Why does it seem like Shino has a knack for finding children who have wondered off away from school? Like, he's just taking a walk, making his way around the village or surrounding forest, and then there they are. Kids playing hooky or some shit. And Shino just takes it upon himself to approach them and steer them back to where they should be, while getting them attached to him somehow in the process??
But honestly. If this was just one of many times this had happened, I'd say Shino does this not out of his knack for teaching or having a way with kids. Rather, he developed a way with kids and easily applies that to his teaching because he has a strong desire to simply protect children. And it's not even from some paternal instinct as much as survival, because I think it stems from the developing trauma of losing Torune to Danzo. And I don't think it's all subconscious either.
Like I know the novel and anime frames his desicion to teach as a sort of a new goal in life as the war has ended for a couple years already and a noticable Peace has been achieved by the Blank Period and well... He's an Aburame.
Like, the Aburame are literal living, breathing, walking bioweapons. With no fight to utilize that, what else is there? Well, much like the Nara have the Nara forest and Pharmacology specifically, The Aburame most likely have a historical stake in the area of Konoha, perhaps it was simply in their Ancestral Home. Idk, but they're here to stay, they ain't budging. They're Clan Culture is very Martial and I'd argue Spartan in nature, but otherwise, they do other things too. I think they'd do well as major players in the conservation and research of native species of animals and plants, but definitely insects too. I bet they play a huge part in the general area's ecosystem, especially due to the fact that the Kamizuru clan attacked with a whole clan's worth of non-native Hymenoptera that could very well have become and still are an irritatingly and consistent problem as invasive species tend to be. And as a far as goods go, why not put some of them to use and handle an apiary? Honey is a great good to sell. All of this is great as a clan that no longer needs to fight. But, what about individual members in general, and so Shino?
Well Shino is the Heir of this clan. This Noble Clan. This "ready to throw hands at any moment" clan. It's future is in his hands, so to speak. So I doubt Shino would completely sever his connection to Shinobi life all together. And so, teaching at the Academy would be a great way to keep that connection. Teachers have to know their stuff, after all.
But what if in order to ensure teaching was his calling, Shino did his absolute best to make Jounin ASAP so he could take on a Genin Team. And. And by chance, it ended up being these three?? And they are absolutely STOKED!!! And they also pass Shino's genin test, which... would probably be a feat in it's own right. But they already know Shino, and Shino has bestowed upon them some wisdom they actually took to heart! Yeah, well, in reality they might be just a tad too old to be Shino's first official genin squad, but they were still his squad one point in a sense, right?
Tumblr media
Kon Nohara, Tano Ikemoto, and Aoki Kobayashi
I even gave them names help Imagine these three are already chuunin at least and decide they want to pay Shino a visit and even volunteer to help Shino during class time on a collective day off because they admire him so much (T~T)
But even then if not these three kiddos, maybe these three li'l shits lol
Tumblr media
Even in times of Peace, Shino's special set of skills seem too useful to waste, and being a Jounin teacher would definitely have been a way he could still go on missions, but also definitely commit to becoming a Sensei at the academy once he was 100% sure and got older. Kurenai became a Jounin/Genin Squad Leader in her late twenties, but in comparison I see Shino doing that more mid-20s. (He needs some time to travel and find his big bug friend and generally live a little?)
Tumblr media
Kurenai was a Genjutsu Specialist who manned a Tracker/Sensing based team. This sounds like it was a highly beneficial combination, even if she ended up being somewhat sadistic lol. Asuma was bound to Team 10 by Tradition as InoShikaCho and Sarutobi have that Pact together. Kakashi's team was literally Cherry Picked for him specifically by the 3rd Hokage. And Gai, a Taijutsu Specialist, had a team that Specialized in Taijutsu and Physical Offense.
Of all four teams, Kurenai and Gai were very suited to their teams, Gai in a complimentary way and Kurenai in a Challenging way. In that same vein, I think Shino would imitate Gai. Shino as a Shinobi himself has a general set of skills, but the way he goes about them are very niche. But, he was always very stealthy, and could sneak up on nearly anyone. Gags aside, he could go unnoticed as long as he wanted too, and by the time he was noticed or was ready to attack, he has you quite literally surrounded. Honestly I can see why Search and Destroy would be an Aburame's forte, but when there's no need, a person with a personal skill of high quality stealth could probably man a team with an emphasis on Reconnaissance and/or Surveillance, even Bodyguarding. I feel like Shino would probably put an emphasis on Stealth and Tracking too, utilizing his insects as sort of assistants that keep tabs on his students (Stealth Test) as well as to encourage just enough fear during too much down time in his students to inspire quality training opportunities, so maybe Kurenai rubbed off on Shino more than they all realized haha
(Plus I'm sure his students would be be smart and thoughtful enough to eventually understand what Shino and his bugs are: a complete unit. They realize just how strong and dedicated Sensei really is to be the way he is, and they all learn more in depth about Kikaichu and it's like WOW SENSEI YOU REALLY ARE RISKING BEING EATEN ALIVE EVERY SINGLE DAY, AREN'T YOU? But he's still here, because THAT'S how strong he's become over the years and the confidence to manipulate the Kikaichu while having to think of current chakra level, the most efficient use at any given time, how many he actually needs, how long usage will last, ect. They are high maintenance, man!)
Shino would no doubt produce highly skilled Bodyguards and Masters of Stealth. Maybe the type that would end up being in high demand for the eventual Celebrities that start to pop up as times change, but still very much needed when it comes to Criminal Activity, like in Sora-Ku?
But as time passes and he decided to teach at the Academy, he'd feel very at ease to do so. He'd be happy to be put in charge of all these children, because he would be able to help teach them things they need to know to defend themselves and others in a world where adults like Danzo had and will continue to exist. Maybe while he's at it, he'd use his stance as a Noble Clan Heir and accomplished Shinobi to push for changes in government with Sai's help and with Naruto and Shikamaru's cooperation? Like, the truth does come out, everyone on the Council were actually horrible and had too much power. So HERE are some ideas and REASONS why these ideas should be implemented because Shino's not going to let his brother's life and death be in vain!? HELL no, we WILL make some changes around here. Shino sees his students and just wants a future where no kid ever has to live in fear of being completely taken advantage of by the very system that was supposed to keep them safe and they pledged allegiance to.
Tumblr media
I cannot help but think of the quiet but absolute fear little Shino was harboring for the years to come after Torune was taken by that strange man and Father Shibi didn't even attempt to stop him. His own father didn't dare beat the shit out of this strange man who came looking for him, and the only solution for Shino to stay was for Torune to make himself look more desirable as an asset and be taken instead. I bet there was a lot of misplaced resentment there for a while, and talks that just didn't happen. Maybe a classmate doesn't show up to class one day and Shino is IMMEDIATELY stressed out and just... takes it upon himself to look for them after class. And he's relieved when he see they're simply at home with a fever. Shit like that just fucks with Shino, because theres people taking kids and no one is doing anything about it?? And then as Shino grew older he realized exactly what happened and how slimy the machine of Konoha really is and it was never completely Shibi's fault that Torune had to leave. He grows mentally at a faster rate than most of his classmates, and knows more than a kid really needs to know.
Shino doesn't want that for any other child. Shino is the kind of person who hears kids screaming outside of his house and he can't tell if they're playing or being murdered and it's stressful to the point he'll check through his window and he sees them for himself. He get stressed out seeing a kid in public unattended and WANTS to approach them to help if need be but also maybe he's overthinking it and the parents are there somewhere and he'd just end up looking suspicious. Like, that's what I kind of figure for Shino. He's so hyperaware of the power dynamic between kids and adults and seeing a kid so ready to fall victim to that makes Shino feel ill the more he thinks of what could happen. And he wonders if watching the kid in the market until they finally reunite with their parent so he could move on with the rest of his day causes him even a fraction of the the utterly disgusting flurry of nerves and fear that Shibi must have felt all those years ago. It goes along with his desire to spare every single little insect's life he can. It goes a long with the fact he only gets violent unless absolutely necessary. Like he wants to be strong but he doesn't want to go mad with power either, less he becomes the very thing that hurt him and his family in the first place.
Tumblr media
Originally Shino wanted to become strong to be able to defend himself because at a very young age adults failed him and Torune. But then that changes to defend not only himself, but others as he grows on a team, and realizes trust is important. And then he figured if there must be adults out there that would hurt a child, it's only logical that he should become one that would only nurture and teach one to be strong as well.
Anyway, yeah. Had some feelings. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Title: a firm foothold Pairing: Pitch/Bank Excerpt:      Pitch looks at the way Bank bites his lip, his fingers holding tightly to the hem of his shirt, and asks, “Bank, are you… okay?”      “Yeah,” Bank says, but sighs when Pitch raises his eyebrows. “Not really.” Ao3 link
Read story under cut.
     “As if we’d leave!”
     Sky shakes his head. His frustrated, overwrought expression has stiffened his features and Pitch doesn’t want to imagine the kind of fear he’s enduring right now. “We won’t know anything until tonight, if that,” Sky says plainly. “And anyway, they’ve already said he can’t have visitors until they’re sure he’s more stable, so there’s no use in all of us hanging around.”
     “So you’ll be going home too then?” Bank deadpans.
     “He needs me,” Sky says. At Bank’s mouth opening once more, he goes on, “Bank, one of my dad’s men is already on the way back with fresh clothes for me. Just go home, eat something. I’ll let you know if anything changes.”
     Bank’s mouth is set, his eyebrows drawn, and Pitch can tell he wants to fight Sky on this. It’s not hard to understand, really; they rescued their friend from a mob kidnapping only to watch another get shot unconscious. They’re standing here alive by the skin of their teeth and to leave Sky like this is the opposite of who Bank is.
     “Bank,” Pitch says, setting his hand hesitantly to the younger’s back. After a second, Bank looks at him, still frowning. “We’re covered in dust and haven’t eaten since morning. Let’s just head back for now.” He gives the slightest inclination of his chin toward Sky, a pointed look in his eyes that says they need to give their friend space, and Bank’s shoulders deflate as he sighs.
     “You’ll really tell us if something changes?” he asks Sky. “Promise?”
     Sky grins a tired smile. “Yes, Bank. I promise.”
     Bank nods once, satisfied, and pats Sky’s arm kindly before turning on his heel with a little wave. “Bye bye,” he says. “Don’t forget!”
     Sky rolls his eyes a little but nods, shooing them away. Pitch glances backward as he follows after Bank and catches the way Sky’s body has sagged forward, eyes already fallen to the floor. He needs time to process on his own, Pitch knew that, but it still hurts to see a friend going through something no one can fix.
     “I’m starving,” Bank announces, sliding into the passenger’s seat.
     “Let’s stop for a bite.”
     Bank nods immediately, then appears to realise something in looking at Pitch. At Bank’s nose wrinkling, Pitch looks down at his filthy uniform. “P’, we’re a mess,” Bank voices.
     “Showers it is.”
     Bank nods again and switches the music on as Pitch turns out of the hospital parking. It’s quiet aside from the Scrubb CD Bank had at one point snuck into the radio of Pitch’s car. He isn’t too into the band but their sound always brings a happy sort of look onto Bank’s face, so Pitch isn’t going to fight him on it.
     Pitch rolls to a stop outside Bank’s gate and looks at him, expecting him to say something like a goodbye, but Bank’s eyes are glued to the house itself.
     “Uh, Bank?” Pitch says. “Bank.”
     “Huh?” Bank blinks. “Sorry. I was going to say you can come in to eat.”
     “You wanted to clean up, I thought.”
     Another blink. “Oh. Yeah, I do.” Bank wordlessly gets out of the car, to Pitch’s confusion, and is halfway to the gate when he turns back around and says, “You can still come in though.”
     Pitch rolls down his window, sure that he’d misheard. “What?”
     “Come inside. We can shower and eat.” Bank shifts on his feet. “You’re already here, as hungry as I am.”
     Pitch waits for Bank to rescind the invitation, but he just stands there waiting. So Pitch parks the car and does as he’s told.
     Bank’s house is massive, though both of his parents being successful doctors lessens Pitch’s surprise on what they might afford. Pitch lives comfortably but this is sort of overwhelming, even for him. Bank being who he is, he likely puts on every light and the television to avoid being spooked when he has the place to himself. The thought has Pitch glancing at Bank, wanting to take his hand as they move for the staircase, but he refrains.
     Bank’s bedroom is much neater than Pitch would have imagined. Maybe it was because Bank held no qualms about jumping drunk onto a bed that wasn’t his own, but Pitch had almost assumed that Bank’s space would be something of a disaster.
     “The floor’s usually a disaster so it’s lucky I cleaned up yesterday,” Bank reads his mind, digging around the dresser.
     The room is decorated sparingly, the majority of it confined to the wall behind the bed, floor to ceiling covered in posters ranging from popular anime to bands Pitch couldn’t begin to guess the names of. Scrubb has made a home in here too; there’s one poster that has its members for some reason holding vegetables? Pitch shakes his head, resigned to just not ask.
     “Here, P’.” Pitch turns to find Bank offering pajamas his way. “It’s just a long sleeve and shorts. We can run the laundry and clean up your stuff.”
     “Thanks,” Pitch says.
     “Mm. You can use my bathroom; I’ll shower in my parents’.” Bank disappears into the hall, leaving Pitch on his own. With time to himself he takes in the room some more. It even smells clean, and like Bank. There’s a small grey sofa and more than one bookshelf besides, each littered with action figures, comics, and textbooks. Pitch can just picture Bank reading on the sofa, or complaining about something or other to Sky at the desk.
     Pitch probably shouldn’t be as oddly giddy as he is to just be standing here, but he can’t help it. Even the bathroom makes Pitch smile; it smells of Bank’s soap, and there’s his infamous hair gel.
     Pitch spots his own reflection grinning stupidly in the mirror and Pitch coughs, looking away. If he doesn’t move a little faster, Bank is going to walk in to find him still standing here like a weirdo. He’d probably laugh and mortify Pitch, and that notion is enough to get him in the shower pronto.
     When he comes out, Bank is on the sofa, head bent as he types away on his phone. The shirt he’d been planning to wear is abandoned on the cushion, like he’d gotten distracted halfway through dressing. Pitch grins and tiptoes up to the sofa.
     “The return of Ticklish Godzilla — ” he begins with a grumble in his voice, but he has time only to finish the sentence before Bank is yanking Pitch onto the sofa by his neck like a rag doll. He flips over with a, “Oi!” to land neatly in Bank’s lap, the air knocked from his lungs at the sneak attack. He must be smiling like an idiot regardless.
     “Vanquished,” Bank says, digging his fingers into Pitch’s sides in retaliation.
     “Don’t — ” Pitch squirms out of Bank’s grasp and jumps to his feet. “Don’t even try it.”
     Bank shakes his head, grinning, and with distance between them Pitch takes in Bank’s damp, loose hair. His lack of a shirt is also sinking in, which has Pitch’s skin itching even though this isn’t the first time he’s seen Bank damp and shirtless this month. He clears his throat again.
     “Are you good to eat?” he asks, wincing immediately at himself, but Bank just nods happily.
     “I ordered pizza,” he says, then frowns. “Unless you want something else. I can — ”
     “Pizza’s fine.”
     “Okay.” He tugs his shirt on as they go down the hallway, much of Pitch’s efforts pointed at not looking at the muscle of Bank’s back or arms.
     “I just messaged the girls about Sun. They’ll go tomorrow to visit too.”
     “Sure,” Pitch says. “I think I’ll head home after we eat, by the way. We could use some sleep.”
     Bank hesitates for just a second at the top of the stairs, then says, “I have every Lord of the Rings movie; have you seen them?”
     “I mean — I’ve seen some of the first.”
     Bank looks at him with wide eyes. “Seriously?” he demands, and Pitch is sort of worried he’s about to be cursed out. “That’s awesome! We can watch them tonight!”
     “Uh, aren’t they, like, pretty long?”
     Bank shrugs noncommittally but otherwise gives no answer as he bounds down the stairs like a hyperactive puppy.
     Two pizzas and a lot of soda later, Pitch is about ready to pass out. Bank seems to have more energy than ever though, so much so that Pitch doesn’t think even Ticklish Godzilla can save him now.
     “Hey, Bank,” he starts.
     “Sh!” Bank hisses. He takes these things incredibly seriously, Pitch has found. He hates when people talk during shows or movies, these times being some of the few that Bank wants total silence.
     “Bank,” Pitch tries again anyway.
     “P’!” Bank whines.
     Pitch pauses the movie on another speech given by a character he doesn’t know the name of and gives Bank a look.
     “It’s past 11,” he says. “I need to get home; I’m bone tired.”
     “But we haven’t finished it yet.”
     “I know, but — ”
     “And we still have two left.”
     “How long are these, exactly?” Pitch asks for another time.
     “Well, they’re the extended versions so they’re…” He trails off into a mumble.
     “What was that?”
     “About four hours,” Bank says louder, cheeks reddening.
     “In total?”
     “Each.”
     Pitch’s jaw slackens. “Each movie is four hours? We can’t watch them all tonight! If we have any hope of getting to the hospital before noon I can’t be awake right until we have to walk out the door, Bank.” Bank doesn’t look at him, his mouth a hard line. “We can watch them another time; I can come back — ”
     “It’s okay. You don’t have to; Sky thinks they’re boring too. I don’t actually care.”
     Pitch blinks slowly at the abrupt change. “Okay.”
     “It’s not about the movies, P’Pitch,” Bank admits after a moment.
     “What is it then?” He looks at the way Bank bites his lip, his fingers holding tightly to the hem of his shirt, and asks, “Bank, are you… okay?”
     “Yeah,” Bank says, but sighs when Pitch raises his eyebrows. “Not really.”
     “Bank, Sun’s going to be fine. And Sky can handle — ”
     “It’s not that,” Bank cuts in. “It’s not just that. I’m… I don’t…” Pitch has no idea what could be the cause of Bank’s sudden despondence, he really doesn’t. Everything had been perfectly normal from the drive home to now, hadn’t it?
     “My parents aren’t in town,” Bank says. “And my brother’s with his friends.” He doesn’t explain anything more, but Pitch can connect the dots from there. If Pitch is honest, he remembers the look on Bank’s face when they’d pulled up earlier. If Bank’s family isn’t here, Bank will have to spend the night alone, something he dislikes having to do on a good day. Compounded by their near-death at the mob’s hands, forget not wanting to sleep alone — Bank must be frightened to death that he’s in danger.
     “I know those guys got arrested but what if there’s more of them, P’?” he asks quietly. “We’re the reason they got caught.”
     “Bank, they aren’t going to come after you.”
     Bank’s eyebrows come together like he’s confused. “P’Pitch, I’m alone for one night, but you live by yourself every night. What if they show up to torture you like they did with Sky, or…” Pitch almost can’t believe what he’s hearing. Bank is scared for Pitch’s life, not his own. This stupid, selfless kid.
     “Bank,” Pitch starts again, too aware of the fondness in his voice, “that won’t happen. They wouldn’t get past me and my bat anyway.”
     “I’m not kidding around.”
     At Bank’s deadly glare, Pitch clears his throat and wipes any trace of jest from his face. “I know,” he says. “But I really don’t think we have to worry.”
     “You’re right — ” Bank agrees.
     “Good, I — ”
     “ — because you’re staying here with me.” Pitch stares at Bank, but he doesn’t look to be joking yet. “I don’t want to be on my own and I don’t want you to be either,” Bank says, matter-of-fact. “So stay.”
     Pitch knows better than to argue with Bank, so he doesn’t.
     “Alright,” he says. “I’ll… stay.”
     The tension melts from Bank’s face, a grin emerging like the sun from clouds, and Pitch can’t help smiling too. Bank goes to grab the remote, and Pitch’s smile drops. He can’t do eight more hours of these movies tonight, not even for the guy he likes.
     Pitch grabs Bank’s wrist, to his confusion. “I think we can call it for now, don’t you?” the former says.
     Bank gives an embarrassed grimace, switching off the television. “Right, P’. Let’s sleep.” Once on the second floor, Bank retrieves a heavy woven blanket from the hall closet along with an extra pillow. Pitch settles them onto the sofa without a word, and Bank doesn’t comment. He leaves the room, returning shortly with a face towel and toothbrush. Pitch thanks him with a small smile that Bank returns.
     Pitch has never brushed his teeth with another person, and it’s super weird, but he doesn’t hate it. If anything, it’s an excuse to sneak glances at Bank in the mirror and then make a dumb face to make Bank laugh when he’s caught.
     Bank shoves his bangs off his face as he undoes the bed, blowing up a little when strands remain stubborn on his forehead. His hair is dry now but as he’s home for the night he never bothered to gel it to the usual. It hangs in his face and may even need a trim, though Pitch is well aware that Bank would be afraid to alter his signature look. Maybe Pitch will get him some sort of glittery, purposely ridiculous clip to keep his hair up at night, so it doesn’t get in his way. Bank would love it.
     “Lights off?” he asks. At Bank’s nod from under his sheets, Pitch switches off the ceiling lights and heads for the sofa.
     They lay in the dark for a minute, then Bank says, “Thanks for staying.” Another few moments pass. “I shouldn’t have used the movies as an excuse to keep you here. Sorry.”
     “Why’re you apologising?” Pitch asks, reminiscent of their botched camping endeavour. He pauses to think of how to proceed. “What I mean is, you didn’t have to pretend, or anything. You don’t need an ‘excuse’ to want me here.”
     Bank is silent, and Pitch worries that he’d accidentally said way too much. He was just trying to be honest the way Bank always likes to be. Bank is so honest that it often takes Pitch aback; not just often, but always. He isn’t sure he’ll ever get used to the way Bank just says what he means, how he feels. He cares so much about every one of them, and having never experienced such a thing before makes it easy for Pitch to believe it can’t be true. So he didn’t tell Bank how he felt at the lake, or in the tent; even now Pitch feels like he’s on far too thin ice.
     But Bank walks into fights with mobsters because he doesn’t want Pitch to face them alone, so Pitch can afford to be a little braver.
     “Just tell me and I’ll… I’ll stay however long you need, whyever you need,” he promises, eyes on the ceiling, heart rabbiting in his chest.
     Pitch is about to hope Bank fell asleep and heard none of that when Bank says, “Can… can you sleep here?” Pitch’s eyebrows furrow, but Bank clarifies, “Up here, with me.”
     Pitch doesn’t dare take a breath, giving Bank a chance to change his mind. But just as the other times today, he simply waits for Pitch to answer.
     Pitch gets up from the sofa instead of speaking. Bank scoots over to make room and Pitch settles the pillow at the headboard before laying down himself. He’s holding his breath still, even while he drapes the woven blanket over himself and Bank too.
     Bank turns onto his side to look at Pitch, so he does the same. His heart has yet to slow down but he does it. The last time they’d slept close like this had been the volunteer trip, and it had ended with their backs to each other, Bank’s outline frigid and small. He’s curled up again, but his face is relaxed, arms held to his chest. He looks soft in the dark, without edges, and for an overwhelming second Pitch is furious with himself over how he’d handled that night in the tent.
     Bank had slept with the belief that he’d done something wrong, that Pitch was somehow unhappy with him. Pitch knows now how he feels, and tried to explain as much to Bank those couple nights ago, but… All he can say is that he never wants Bank to question how he feels for him ever again. For God’s sake, Pitch finds the smell of Bank’s soap endearing.
     If he’d gone home, he would have never slept tonight, the entire time likely spent thinking about Bank and if he’s okay on his own. How is it Bank seems to always know what Pitch needs before he knows it himself? Or maybe they just need the same thing.
     Pitch puts a hand on Bank’s waist, a ghost of a touch, and Bank opens his eyes just a little. He must be exhausted, even worse after having acted energetic the past however many hours, so he doesn’t say anything. He just shuffles closer to Pitch until he can hide bundled up in his arms. Pitch exhales.
     “I need you too,” he admits against Bank’s hair, and because he can’t help being cheeky, “Are you satisfied with that answer?”
     Sleepy, Bank tilts his head up with a quirked eyebrow and smirk. “Mm.” He gives a soft kiss to Pitch’s jaw, just because Bank knows it will devastate him. “This spot is better.” With that, he returns to his snug place against Pitch’s chest.
     If Pitch weren’t already half asleep, Godzilla would be having serious revenge right now.
     “G’night, P’Pitch,” Bank murmurs through a baby yawn.
     Pitch settles for holding Bank as close as he can, which is a damn good deal.

Do you have any headcanons abt a tiny begging Loki to go outside and explore and Loki keeps saying “no you’re too small something could happen.” So they never go outside anymore and stay with Loki until one day the tiny is really down and depressed and Loki finally allows them to go outside with him and the whole time he’s so worried something will happen to them (like he can’t even see them in the grass when he lets them walk on their own so he’s esp nervous then) but the tiny is just so happy to be outside and feel the sun on their face!
I know it’s kinda specific but I really enjoy reading this type of stuff
The amount of fluff that this concept has-...🥺🥺
Also, instead of head canons, I wrote a long story!😆Enjoy!😁❤️
______________________________________________
~Outside These Walls~
Tumblr media
“Loki please! I don’t understand what the big deal is!”, you exclaimed as you sat cupped in the hands of the God of Mischief himself, Loki.
“My little dove, you know why I can’t let you leave the safety of my room”, said Loki. He saw that you were about to argue back with him, so he gently placed his fingertip over your mouth and quickly said, “The outside world is cruel. I am merely protecting you from it.” You pushed his finger off of your face, earning a chuckle out of Loki. He set you down on his shoulder, opening a book and reading aloud to you. He hoped it would distract your mind away from wanting to leave the safety that the indoors had to offer.
You sighed. ‘I’m never going to get through to him’, you thought as you tucked your knees close to your chest.
Ever since you were caught by Loki about 1 month ago, he has slowly been shying away from the idea of you going outside. He even didn’t like you climbing down the bookshelves that covered the walls in his room or his nightstand anymore!
Unbeknownst to Loki, however, you used to live outside a while before you made your way into the Avengers Tower! Climbing trees, sheltering underneath the petals of flowers so that you wouldn’t get hit by a raindrop as water poured from the sky, using sticks as a defense mechanism to protect yourself—-if only he knew the predicaments you’ve gotten yourself into in Central Park. You felt as if your independence was being eaten up slowly and you had no idea what to do about it. You felt powerless.
———— 4 days later ————
Loki had made his point clear by ending any conversation that you tried starting with him where you mentioned going outside. He was not about to make the biggest mistake of his life. How could he let someone as small as you wander out into the wilderness? That’s a death wish at best, not an enjoyable, well spent afternoon.
At the moment, Loki was sitting at his desk going through a few mission files the Avengers had planned for him. He would rather be doing anything else than sitting at this run down desk looking at what was going to ruin his schedule in the next couple of weeks.
Loki had tried to get you to help him, but, you kindly declined and took a seat up against the floor-to-ceiling window in the room. This hurt Loki’s feelings immensely. You had never been one to not want to hang out with Loki. In fact, he would consider you the most clingiest person he had ever met, especially after the first time he had caught you roaming around his room. You always wanted him around.
As Loki tried to focus on the files in front of him, he couldn’t help but get distracted and glance over at your spot on the floor. Ever since you had asked Loki to take you outside a few days ago and he had refused to take you outdoors, you seemed...off.
He had offered his hand for you to climb on last night so that he could read to you, but instead of the happy, little mortal he’s grown attached to, he saw this new personality that overtook your joy——a more depressed attitude that Loki had never seen come out of you before.
You normally would bounce up and down with joy whenever he wanted to pick you up, but lately you’ve been acting like a completely new person. Your usual mood that would always brighten up Loki’s miserable one was fading slightly, and Loki did not like it at all. He knew why you were acting this way, but he denied the thought and just came to terms with himself that you weren’t feeling well.
You were looking out the window, staring intently at what stood on the other side of the glass—Central Park. Oh how you wish you could just be outside again.
“Small one? Can you please step away from the window? I can’t bear to see you so close to the outdoors. You’re only separated from it by a 2 inch thick piece of glass”, stated Loki.
You couldn’t believe what you just heard.
“I can’t even look out of a window now?”, you asked. You expected him to answer your question right away, but he stayed silent. You couldn’t take this no longer. You stood up and marched your way over to his bed. After having some trouble getting to the top, you finally made it. You walked over towards the other side of the mattress, eyes locked on the desk beside it where Loki sat hunched over.
“Loki, are you seriously not gonna let me even look outside? You know I can’t stay inside for the rest of my life, right?”, you questioned.
“Well of course you can. You can stay inside where you’re safe with me”, he said like it was a fact. Were you really going to be stuck inside forever?
“W-Why won’t you let me go outside?”, you asked.
You were on the verge of breaking down into tears. You absolutely love Loki to death, You admire his mischievous ways, as well as the softer side you somehow manage to bring out of him, but with his recent possessiveness that he’s been showing towards you, you realized how worrisome it’s been getting.
Loki stayed silent, focusing on the files in front of him and biting his lip in order to prevent himself from responding. Y/n couldn’t hold back anymore.
“I need to go outside at some point in my life! Where do you think I used to live before I met you?”, she exclaimed.
“Child, you are to stay here, in my room, with me where you are safe. You will not utter a single word about the outdoors, understand?!”, yelled Loki.
Loki visibly saw you flinch and instantly felt guilty. Instead of fearing him, though, you decided to fight back.
“You were never this overprotective before. D-Do you not see my as your friend? I am just another mortal that you want to have full control over? Why do you keep me here locked up in your room like I’m some sort of pet?!”, she yelled.
“Because I can’t lose you!”, exclaimed Loki. He put his hands on top of his head and got up from his seat. He began to pace around the room. Irritation and frustration filling his mind with each step he took. He couldn’t believe that you thought of yourself as some caged up animal. You were his equal, his friend, family even! He never meant for you to feel that way.
“Forgive me, I-...I-I don’t know why-..I just-...”, Loki had trouble thinking about what he should say to you after his outburst. He had never yelled at you like that before, and right now, he felt awful.
You sensed the guilt that he was feeling because he couldn’t even bring himself to look at you.
“Loki—-please, calm down. Let’s just talk things through like we always do. Okay?”, asked Y/n calmly.
You had never witnessed Loki in a panicking state. You wished that you were his size so you could wrap your arms around him in a hug.
Loki’s pacing had slowed down. He came to a halt in the middle of the room.
“Loki?”
He turned his head towards you, causing you to gasp. His face was wet with tears. You gasped.
“P-Please don’t cry! Come here, Loki, please..”, you said. Seeing Loki cry started to get you emotional.
Loki walked over towards you and bent down in front of where you stood on his bed. He held his head up with his left hand, while the other rested on the mattress.
He looked down at you as you moved your way closer to him. The tears had come to stop, but you could see them forming in his eyes, ready to overflow and fall down his pale cheeks again.
Without thinking, you went over to his hand and hugged his finger tightly. Loki softly chuckled. He adores how you both have such a tight-knit friendship. He didn’t want anything to come in between that. Humans that are his size stay far away from him, yet, here you were, a small mortal that barely just reached the height of his thumb, comforting him.
He decided to share something with you—-something that he had never opened up about in front of another being before.
“The last time I was extremely close with someone, something horrible happened to them. That person was my mother-..”, Loki stopped dead in his sentence.
You looked up at Loki with astonishment written all over your face. Loki had talked about his mother a few times, but he never showed much emotion whenever he spoke about her.
“I um—-she and I were inseparable. Nothing ever stood between us and the love we had for each other. But-..”, Loki took a moment and exhaled deeply before continuing. “But I was the reason for her death. I had caused it. And ever since you and I had our first encounter, I—-I guess my protective side came out more stronger than I had anticipated it to.”
You had no idea what to say. Loki had never opened up so much to you and this honestly caught you off guard. Normally, you would be the one to cry on Loki’s shoulder, but now the tables have turned. You could see the tears rolling down his face, some even hitting the desk in front of you.
Loki needed someone to comfort him, to tell him that everything was going to be okay. Whenever you were in this sort of state, Loki would just hold you close, whispering sweet nothings to you, and it always helped. Suddenly, an idea popped into your head. You knew exactly what to do now.
You walked around Loki’s hand and headed straight for his arm. You managed to get a grip on his leather armor that he wore and clambered your way to top of his arm. You glanced up at Loki.
He was staring at you now with tears glistening his eyes. They were red and looked swollen now, breaking your heart in two.
“L-Loki it’s okay! I-..”
Out of nowhere, you were gently scooped up by Loki’s hand and raised up. You closed your eyes, nervous if you had done something wrong. Suddenly, you were pressed against something firm and warm, but at the same time...soft. You cracked open your eyes and saw that Loki was pressing you against his cheek, his teary eyes closed.
This was new for you. You had never been this up close to Loki’s face. It was massive! You didn’t waste another second and quickly extended your arms out, trying your best to hug Loki back. Since you were pressed close to his cheek, you felt the muscles in Loki’s face move upwards. He was smiling from ear to ear.
As Loki began to break the makeshift hug, he began to speak.
“I cannot be the cause of you getting hurt—or worse. It will never happen under my watch. I shall make sure of it.”
He held you up to his eye level and gently ruffled your hair. He thought about if the next sentence he was about to say was a good idea or not. He sighed.
“I will take you outside, my dear”, said Loki, nervousness evident in his voice.
Your eyes widened. “R-Really?!”, you exclaimed. Loki simply nodded his head, a laugh escaping from him.
“Yes, but I will be keeping a close eye on you little one, alright?”, asked Loki.
You excitedly nodded your head yes and grabbed a hold of his finger to give him another hug. “Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”, you exclaimed.
To you, Loki looked happy, but deep down, he was panicking—-a lot.
————— A few minutes later —————
Loki was a nervous wreck as he walked through Central Park. He had safely tucked you away in his pocket as he strode along the pathway, trying to find a spot that was vacant and far away from the humans that were already there.
“Loki, when can I come out?”, you said as you poked your head out of his pocket. Your eyes widened at the sight of the outdoors——happiness and excitement filled you up.
“Very soon, my little dove. But for now-...”, Loki used his finger to gently push you back down into the safety of his pocket, and couldn’t help but smirk at how adorable your face looked when he did so. “...you must stay hidden. I do not want a single soul, besides myself, to see you.”
After what seemed like forever, Loki finally stumbled upon the perfect spot—-a tree with a bed of flowers planted in the grass beside it.
Loki walked up to the tree and sat down, resting his back up against the rough bark of the trunk. He sighed, knowing that you would be exposed to things ten times your size. Suddenly, the sound of your voice floated up towards Loki’s ears.
“Loki? I-Is the coast clear?”, you nervously asked. Loki was the only giant you had ever interacted with before. You hated that Loki knew how nervous you would get when other giants were around. To this day, Loki still feels bad about the time he attempted to introduce you to Thor. Tears fell down your cheeks, you clung to his shirt, and, as embarrassing as it sounds, you sobbed when Loki suggested that Thor should hold you.
After that incident with Thor, Loki made it his goal to keep you out of sight from the others that lived in the Avengers Tower. If the Avengers had ever found you and caused you to cry, he knows for a fact that he would go ballistic. No one makes his little friend cry.
“Don’t worry, Y/n. There is not one soul around us. I have made sure of it”, said Loki as he tenderly pinched your waist and hoisted you up and out of his pocket. He held you in his palm and allowed you to take in your surroundings for a moment.
“Loki..just look at it out here! It’s amazing!”, you said excitedly. The memories of the days you spent fending for yourself out here in the park all came flooding back to you.
“Can you put me down now Loki?, you said as you turned around to look at him. You jumped up and down in his hand as he held you. You could barely contain the excitement that you were feeling.
Loki gave you an uneasy look. Was this really a good idea? Had he thought this through?
When he saw the smile plastered on your face, however, he couldn’t burst your bubble and say no. You had been cooped up in the Tower now for how long. It was about time you got to experience nature again.
“Just be careful”, said Loki.
You nodded your head. “I will!”
A choppy sigh escaped his lips. “Promise?”, he asked as he brushed his finger tip over your tiny arm. He was scared to let you go.
You looked at him and smiled. “I promise, Loki. I’ll be okay.”
He paused for a moment. “Alright...I’ll take your word for it.” Loki lowered you down to the ground below.
You practically jumped off of his palm when it got close enough to the ground. You started to run around in the grass, laughing away. It was just about your height!
As Loki sat there against the tree, he took notice of how tense he became once you weren’t in his grip anymore. He thought he might’ve become paralyzed at just seeing how the grass reached your waist.
‘Calm down, she’s fine. She’s having fun and that is all that matters’, Loki thought to himself.
He watched you as you exhausted yourself. There were leaves and sticks all around, but what really caught your eye were the flowers that were next to the tree. Some of the flowers had fallen off of their stems. You, of course, made an appoint to go up to all of the flowers on the ground just to admire each one.
This is when you got an idea. You ran up to one of the fallen flowers—-a puffy-like golden one. A tiny part of the stem was sticking out from underneath it. ‘Perfect! I’ll be able to drag it over to Loki!’, you thought.
Even though you were having the time of your life, you did still feel bad about how this made Loki feel. He looked like he was about to start crying again when he put you down in the grass! You had decided to bring a flower over to him.
You grabbed a hold of the flower’s small stem and started pulling it over to where Loki was sitting. ‘This’ll cheer him up’, you thought.
Loki’s eyes never left you. He was highly confused as to why you were dragging a flower around, however, he didn’t question it and let you have your fun. But he noticed that you were bringing it over to him. ‘What is this tiny mortal up to?’ he questioned to himself.
“Hey Loki! Can you lay your hand down next to me so I could climb on it? I have a surprise for you!”, you said happily.
This caused Loki to smirk. “A surprise you say? I wonder what it could be”, he said as he chuckled. Loki did as you asked and offered you his palm.
You clambered onto his hand and pulled the flower up into the center of his palm.
Loki raised you up in front of his face and stared at you with curiosity.
“Surprise!”, you exclaimed with joy, throwing your arms in the air. Loki laughed as he looked at how out of breath you looked.
“You got this for me, Y/n?”, Loki asked. You nodded excitedly. “Thank you my little dove. I will cherish this with all my heart.”
You giggled at how formal Loki was being.
“I-I know we just got here not too long ago, but..can we head back to the tower now? I really want to listen to you read that book we started”, you said shyly. You hoped that he wouldn’t be upset with you since it was you who wanted to come to the park in the first place.
“Of course we can, small one”, Loki said. He gently brought you closer towards his chest and gently tilted his hand, causing you to slide into the empty pocket.
“Lets go home, Loki”, you said, snuggling deeper into the fabric all around you. As much as you loved being outside, you missed the quietness of Loki’s room.
Loki stood up to his towering height and began the journey back to the Tower. He could simply just teleport back to his room, but he wanted to admire the flower you had given him a little while longer. How would he have anytime to do that if he teleported? Walking would give him more time to appreciate the flower you gave him without the Avengers questioning where he had gotten it from.
He slowly stretched out the opening of his pocket and peaked down at you. He heard how your breathing had become steady and his ears picked up on the light snores coming from your sleeping form. You had fallen asleep in a matter of seconds.
He smiled as he closed the opening of the pocket to let you rest. Loki held the flower close to his chest as he walked home with you safely tucked away.
“Maybe this wasn’t such a bad idea after all”, Loki said quietly.

✨✨La Squadra Boyfriend Headcanons✨✨
[Alexa, play Boyfriend by Big Time Rush]
Guys, I spend an ungodly amount of time thinking about La Squadra, so here are some bf headcanons for the sexiest group of assassins in Naples. No one asked but I am bringing it straight to your dash anyway! (under the cut for length lmao)
Tumblr media
I’m going to start with Prosciutto, who has recently fallen on my radar pretty heavy! 
He’s a good and decent boyfriend, if not a busy one. Not that he doesn’t care about the relationship, but most of his energy was going to Passione things before you waltzed in and so he’ll struggle a bit between his work responsibilities and maintaining his relationship with you, but only in the beginning. 
If you are also a part of Passione, it’s a hell of a lot easier to manage. 
I see Prosciutto as the gift-giving type: lingerie, sweets, perfume, designers, etc. His salary isn’t the best, but he manages it as well as he can just to accommodate you! 
I just can’t get the idea out of my head that Pro was raised by a strict mama, that’s why he can be a bit of a stickler sometimes. He’ll catch you still lounging in bed at nine am, and be like “Why are you still in bed? Get dressed, we’re going out.” Dude!
I’m sorry to say, but Prosciutto is absolutely the ‘lecturing’ type. (He lectured someone in nearly every scene in the anime, Formaggio once and Pesci numerously and Bucci too) 
He will lecture you when you make mistakes, especially because as his s/o, he has high expectations for you and believes you’re capable of so much more. It’s never, ever out of hate. He loves you, and that’s why he chides you a bit lol. 
This does not negate the fact that he doesn't mind when you lean on him for support. He likes when you count on him, because he always comes through especially for you!
Depending on whether you’re in the mafia or not, I totally see him sparring with you, or working out with you in an effort to make you tough. Prosciutto wants you to be able to defend yourself, just in case. If you complain, he’ll tell you, “Better safe than sorry, tesoro”.
Prosciutto will respect you, period.
A good listener, goddamn! He’s up there with Risotto when it comes to who listens to their s/o more! If you have an issue, he’ll hear you out and offer advice if you want it. If you give him advice, he’ll take it into serious consideration. He’s honestly a good partner, can’t stress that enough.
Finally, sex with Pro is an entire event. Romantic dinner, candles lit, wine, the whole nine yards before he gives you nine inches of something else :) (I’m kidding!! Lmao, kinda). 
But as I said, Prosciutto is quite deliberate, and a bit of a perfectionist. He knows what to do and how to do it, you can trust him.
Ghiaccio is next only because he’s my favorite. 
The ice gremlin is probably the most interesting (and hilarious) boyfriend out of the bunch (I say this with only a tidbit of bias). He isn’t funny himself, but funny shit just happens to him. 
Because of this, he will use you as a soundboard when everyone else refuses to listen to him. He’s got a lot to say, so be prepared for his TEDtalks. LMAO!
It will take some perception on your part to notice when he actually expects a response from you, and other times he’s just ranting to get his point out. 
He will correct your grammar when you text, but barely notices when he makes a similar mistake (his brain moves in mph). Please use the proper names like Venezia, Italia, Roma and Napoli when talking to this man; save yourself from the headache.
When it comes to dates, please have mercy on him, he’s a textbook over-thinker! You’ll just have to plan something simple at home for you both to enjoy. 
He isn’t incapable of planning dates, but he’ll want everything to be so absolutely perfect for his s/o and will throw a fit when it ultimately isn’t. 
Contrary to popular belief, I think that Ghiaccio is a pretty attentive partner. He’s super intelligent and I think a part of it stems from his innate ability to read people (I’m referencing the part in the anime where he deduced what Giorno and Mista had come to look for, while going off very little information). 
The more time he spends with you, the better he gets at it. 
His form of affection will be shown through the amount of time you both spend together. When it comes to sex or anything related to that, be gentle and slow as Ghiaccio will likely be a flustered mess. 
As he becomes more comfortable and confident, he will be bolder and just ask out right if you’ll suck him off tonight or not. The man appreciates directness, so don’t bother being coy. “You want me to give you head? Cool, lay down a towel or something.” is what he’ll probably say.
Very practical 👌🏾👌🏾
Melone, good lord, he’s kind of perfect. 
A bit of a doting boyfriend here and there—very much concerned about your health. Expect him to ask if you’ve eaten, or taken your multivitamin. How are your bowel movements?  LMAO
It can become a bit much, but he really genuinely cares. He’s not asking to be intrusive or nasty! If he was, you’d know. 🤣
But I seriously consider Melone to be the one (at least among La Squadra) who is way, way invested in his relationships. He will know every little detail about you; will ask you lots of questions and expects you to ask him just as many. 
This may be annoying to some, but this dude will definitely bring up your horoscope in an argument. He’ll be like “I honestly can’t fathom why you’re being this way, though it’s to be expected from a libra.” 
Peg this bitch so he can shut up.  
Melone is also touchy as hell, but not in a clingy way. He loves touching, and just to tag onto the headcanon about his partial blindness, I want to say that he’s so touchy because that’s how he ‘sees’ you best.
Just know that half the time, he isn’t touching you to be lecherous, even if he genuinely does like the feel of your skin under his fingertips. Melone will even encourage you to touch him back. 
Rub his thigh or back and he’ll be simping.
He is obsessed with your legs, and will paint your toes if you let him. 
LOVES PDA! Melone will also tongue-kiss you in public if you let him!
Notice how I keep saying ‘if you let him’. Give him an inch and he’ll press you for a mile, so if there are boundaries you would like to establish, please do, cuz he sure as hell won’t, just saying!
When it comes to sex, Melone is a dick and coochie sensei. Oral is his favorite thing to do, probably enjoys giving more than receiving to be honest. I’d say he’s pretty much mastered sex for what it is. 
That being said, if he’s ever talking out of his neck, just invite him to put his mouth to better use. He’ll even thank you for your gracious request.
Formaggio is next 💀 
According to my JoJo compatriots from discord, he’s like the Optimus Prime of fuckboi’s so let’s ride that wave for a bit! LMAO
I hope it doesn’t come as a surprise that Formaggio is pretty shameless. He will send you a dick pic on Sunday morning before church and have the audacity to say “Just wanted to bless you real quick”. 
@autumn-kouhai mentioned him giving his s/o sickly sweet pet names and I just have to agree. 
Expect to be hit upside the head with: baby-boo, sugar plum, honey bunches, sweetums. I can imagine them becoming really ridiculous too like “the last piece of red velvet cake” or “cheddar bae biscuits from Red Lobster”
His catch phrase is “Got nudes?”
Send them, and he won’t be afraid to reply with something equally sexy. 
Be warned though, he will stockpile whatever you send him and then be careless with his phone. If you don’t mind Illuso’s snoopy ass seeing your nudes then by all means, have at it. Otherwise, send them through snapchat, so they disappear later. 
As far as La Squadra boyfriends go, he’s the most fun! Y’all don’t even go anywhere because man’s is broke. BUT, Formaggio knows how to have a good time without any need to spend money (my kind of dude tbh) you guys just crank up the tunes, dance, and get lit until the neighbors complain. 
Formi is also the CEO of jokes/memes, and will have you in absolute tears almost always! I literally tell my friends that funny guys are so dangerous, don’t sleep on them! They will make you laugh until your panties drop, it’s magic, I swear. Formaggio has that same energy. 
No matter how bad of a day his s/o is having, rest assured, he will draw the biggest laugh out of you.
Besides his fuckboi tendencies, his most redeeming quality is the fact that he’s super cool and fun to hang with. You’ll literally have a good time, always, because his energy is right! Very good vibes around this man, I swear! It’ll be exactly like dating your best friend, because essentially, he will be your bestie.
Formi has many moments of tenderness that aren’t sexually charged too—moments where the jokes stop and he’ll just rub your back or feet, this is usually when you aren’t feeling well and need some quiet. 
However, Formaggio won’t let you mope all day, he’ll pull out the big guns and call you his “sweetie baby” and when you try to resist he’ll say “What, I’m just tryna show you some love.”
He’s a good dude lmao I’d date a guy like him irl 😭
Pesci stans wya??! Let’s get into this baby boy. 
Pesci is boyfriend material, idgaf what anyone says. 
He is pretty much the least problematic to be with among all of La Squadra, even more so than Risotto (don’t argue with me). 
Pesci is hyper aware of your likes and dislikes and will literally go out of his way to make sure that you’re well and okay. 
Arguments are basically nonexistent and if they occur it ain’t coming from his side. 
I also think that Pesci has a lot of empathy, so when you’re going through something, he’s right there in the thick of it with you. If you’ve seen that meme that goes ‘when my gf is on her period it’s UterUS’ lmao that’s Pesci’s energy 100%. 
Sometimes, he’s more of a lover and not a fight, that is perfectly okay!
However, if someone tries up his s/o, say farewell to Mr. Niceguy. He will defend your honor to his dying breath. And with you in his corner, trust me, he’s not going down. 
A romantic at heart, Pesci will plan little date trips like picnics in the park or boat trips to Capri, actually, I’d like to point out that he excels in the art of date planning. If you’re the adventurous type, he’ll plan outings where you both will be more active, like biking through the city or renting a mop-ed and going sight-seeing. 
Because Pesci has a sensitive stomach, he’s very much considerate of what you both put in your bodies. If you have dietary restrictions or allergies, this guy knows all about it and will cater to you perfectly. 
A true gentleman through and through, he will never force himself on you, ever. In fact, he really doesn’t like engaging in anything sexual when you’re drunk or high, sorry if you’re into that! 
Pesci is the kind of guy who keeps up with your favorite shows.
If ya’ll have similar taste in media or literature, he will immerse himself in it so that he can relate to you all the more.
If there’s anyone who will entertain anime-related discourse, no matter how nonsensical, it’s Pesci. And he isn’t just putting up with it, he’s actively engaging in the conversation so you are always heard and validated. 
He’s an A+ boyfriend, that’s all I gotta say! Haters can stay mad :)
Goddamn Illuso... idk man.
I really feel like you have to have thick/tough skin to handle this guy, for various reasons. 
The first being that Illuso can be a bit mean at first. He’ll push your buttons on purpose just to see what’ll make you tick. Will tease the living heck out of you, always, kind of a bully lmao but not to the extreme, it’s just his brand of humor—and the thing is, he won’t be mad when you dish it right back, so it’s cool. 
Secondly, Illuso has big dick energy!! 
I mean rightfully so, because he is indeed packing! But my word, he ain’t humble about it at all! 
He is not above making jokes about ‘splitting you in half’. In fact all of his jokes have hidden, dirty undertones! 
His affection is shown through speech mostly. Illuso will drop subtle innuendos and provocations, half to see you flustered and half because he wants you to know how much he wants you. 
Illuso isn’t incredibly vocal about his feelings outside of ‘I’m tryna hit that thang’ but you won’t doubt that he loves you because Illuso doesn’t waste his own time. 
If he’s spending his time with you, you can rest assured that it’s because he wants to. 
Illuso is a voyeur and you’ll just have to understand/accept that and move on. 
He loves watching you and will even creep over to your place through the mirror world just to hang or watch you do chores. Loves to surprise you and give you jump scares lmao it’ll make you a tad paranoid but it’s also fun. 
Illuso is prone to random bouts of sweetness; it’s very sporadic, very touch-and-go. 
One day, you’ll wake up to chocolates on your dresser or new shoes, lingerie, or makeup if you wear it. I imagine that if you’re low on funds, he will even help you buy your groceries that week. 
It’ll surprise the hell out of you, but that’s just how Illuso is. He enjoys keeping you on your toes! 
He’s prideful and smug as hell, so he will definitely expect a thank you, because even if he does it out of the kindness in his heart, he also wants to hear that you appreciate him
Same goes for the bedroom scene. Illuso loves making you vocal, it’s his favorite thing in the world, so he’ll make a game out of doing the things that get the biggest reaction out of you. Like I said, it's that big dick energy at work here, smh.
Sorbet and Gelato in a polyamorous relationship with you? Let’s get it! 
We don’t get anything substantial about these two except that Sorbet follows the money, so these are all personal headcanons for how I see and write them. 
Here’s the juice: when it comes to you as their s/o, these two are possessive as hell. You are theirs and that’s that on that! 😭 Don’t ask questions, just go with it.
Sorbet is the chill one of the duo. He can be a bit smug at times, but he’s mostly a laid back dude who doesn’t get bothered by much.
When it comes to you, Sorbet likes to spend quality time with you more than anything, and will ask you to cook for him at your place so he ain’t gotta spend money. Oh? Did I not mention that I kinda think of him as a cheapskate? Lmao cuz I do.
Sorbet will come by your place just to steal your coupons from the mail then head out; you’re not using ‘em so why should he let them go to waste?
Gelato is the complete opposite; personality wise, I headcanon him as a mix between Melone and Formaggio lmao
But it’s not as crazy as it sounds, he’s cute and outspoken like Melone, while maintaining a free-spirit like Formaggio. One quality that I like is that he’s quite devoted to you and Sorbet. If anyone crosses either of you, goodluck to them!
I like to think Gelato’s also just really boujee and high maintenance. He loves to pamper and be pampered. You and him tag-team Sorbet’s wallet and go on spa dates together at his expense (not that he ever really stood a chance)
While Sorbet is cool with just being in the same room as you, Gelato loves hugging/cuddling with you and Sorbet—will definitely fight for the middle spot between the two of you on the couch during movie nights.
He baby, so let him have it lol
In the bedroom, I would salute anyone with the guts to take the two of them on. They both lay down that work, period. 
Sorbet gets his kicks from teasing and edging you (his sadistic side comes out a bit), while Gelato loves when you give him extra TLC. To put it short, they know how to take care of you, so there are no issues there. 
Last but not least, Mr. Risotto Nero himself.
Man, idc on the lowest of keys, he seems a little bit like a grandpa to me
The type to sit at home and do crosswords, has a bird feeder in his yard and plays old Italian hits while washing the dishes. It’s very domestic 💀 (I find it cute, whatever!)
As a boyfriend, I can’t imagine him suddenly being spontaneous or outgoing unless you drag him out of his home/comfort zone.
Be patient with Mr. Nero, and he can come to surprise you
After a while, it won’t be just you dragging him out and about; one day he’ll ask you to come over and you’ll be greeted with a nice, traditional, homemade meal
Pay attention and you will notice him watching your face to see if you like his cooking 🥺
After seeing his fight with Doppio, I must admit that Risotto is very, very observant, almost scarily so.
I can totally picture him pointing out random things about his s/o that even they don’t know
One night, Risotto may come up to you and say “I talked to your neighbor about the dog, they’ll keep it inside now.” And you’re just staring like 😳 how did he know the barking was keeping you up at night????
He’s sweet, and will take good care of you as a boyfriend should.
Very good listener, won’t talk as much but will hang on to your every word, I promise. He could even recite it to you verbatim.
He’s a big dude, that ain’t news, so expect to be swallowed up in hugs and sometimes even picked up (as a tall girl myself, I simp!!!)
Gives A1 piggyback rides, lol
ALSO RISOTTO IS HUMBLE ASF!
Big dick energy, but on low volume 👏🏾 after all, he doesn’t need to do much talking, because a night with him is more than enough!
Listen babe, you better stretch, do some squats, and prep in whatever way you can before Mr. Nero gives you that work. 🤐
Lowkey a freak, but it’s well hidden behind his ‘quiet giant’ exterior
So, who are y'all dating? Personally, I’m going for Formaggio and Pesci hehe

Muriel has a gravelly grumble that he is convinced is useless for singing and if you hand him the microphone he’ll drop it and go stand in the corner.

what cryptid is every character Asra = Chupacabra Julian = Mothman Nadia = Nessie Portia = Loveland Frog Muriel = Bigfoot Lucio = Jersey Devil
how would the game's characters celebrate the MC's birthday with them?? Asra would take them on a long journey without telling them where they were going (but would keep them entertained with riddles) to a scenic oasis, where he would pretend to drown so MC has to dive into the water and at the bottom is a magic flute that can summon a swarm of bees (their favorite!) Nadia would throw a tastefully brief festival in their honor. MC would be lavished with pampering (by professional pamperers) from dawn to dusk and when the clock struck midnight, they would be presented with seven bejeweled eagles (one for every day of the week) Julian would meet them for dinner in a shady tavern, bring them heaping plates of food and offer unsolicited advice for the coming year. About halfway through the meal he would have to scramble out the back door because law enforcement arrived on the scene but he’d put it an order in the kitchen to bring them something for dessert Lucio would declare the day a holiday and call it Day of the Beloved One of Lucio. They would have to sit uncomfortably still while a master artiste painted their portrait and a mile-long line of peasants laid gifts at their feet. Muriel doesn’t celebrate birthdays because time is a human construct Portia would throw a big loud party with a barbecue :D
Since it is soon, what would the characters do for Valentines day with us (the MC)? Nadia would take you on an elegant river cruise stocked with 130 varieties of tiny cake and a private crooner hired to serenade you but she would end up throwing them overboard for not hitting the high notes Asra would take you to the mall and splurge on all the stuff you both can’t afford but wait way too long to get lunch so you get into a fight and he proposes in the food court Julian would show up on the 15th after with all the candy he scored at 75% off, pretend it was on purpose that he got the day wrong, and wake you up at 3 am to come clean because the guilt was eating him alive Muriel would light some scented candles, cook up a sensual meal and throw a bearskin rug in front of the fireplace for you to enjoy alone while he escapes into the woods Portia would pack a picnic of chicken and tortilla chips, take you to the beach where you could splash around until the sun goes down and lull you to sleep on the sandy blanket with her acoustic guitar Lucio would have servants fill your room with floor to ceiling flowers while you sleep and wait impatiently for you to wake up like
