Little Barbie X CG Gloria
Inspired by @thebabyprince ‘s post “ Barbie cg headcanons!”
* Because Barbie never experienced the pressures and negative aspects of life in the real world before, she got really overwhelmed and had a panic attack for the first time which Gloria helped make go away by suggesting that Barbie enter littlespace. As she didn’t know what that is, Gloria explained what it means to go into littlespace. Intrigued, Barbie wanted to try it out and asked Gloria if she wanted to be her mommy which Gloria accepted happily, much to Barbie’s delight
* Gloria decided to buy the basic baby essentials like sippies, pacis, and onesies for Barbie, all in pink of course. She also bought her very first stuffie, a pink axolotl she named Millie.
* Barbie’s little age is 2 years old, and because she regresses that young, she’s a very hyper baby which Gloria finds super adorable but slightly exhausting in keeping up with the naturally curious tot.
* Gloria adores taking Barbie out to places like the park, museums, and aquariums. And especially on shopping sprees to the mall. Barbie loves trying on clothes with her Mommy, sometimes they would get matching outfits, styled by Barbie with a little help from Gloria.
* Since Barbie feels a bit self conscious about being little in public, she hides in Gloria’s neck but her Mommy gently assures her baby that is it absolutely okay to not be a big girl all the time and that she will keep her safe because that’s what mommies do.
* Every weekend, Barbie and Gloria have a special movie night where they both pick out a movie (age appropriate) and order pizza or any takeout that they’re in the mood for. Gloria even allows Barbie to drink soda in her sippy and eat candy, smarties being her favorite.
* Barbie’s birthday is a very special occasion in which Gloria plans a big birthday bash with ice cream cake with pink sprinkles and a beautiful sparkly pink dress for the birthday girl. All of Barbie’s friends and the Kens are invited.
* While Barbie is a hyperactive toddler, she’s also a clingy sleepy baby on her off days. Whenever she needs a quiet day, she loves to cuddles with her Mommy on the couch while her getting her back rubbed by her Mommy. Sometimes if she’s feeling extra sleepy, Gloria prepares her a warm bottle filled with strawberry milk which Barbie enjoys very much along with her hair being stroked by Gloria as she cuddles deeper into her Mommy’s chest.

Info dump #4 - OC Game: Adjectives
Found this going around, thought it’d be fun to know mine better.
Which OC is the most...
Loyal? 
Alexis, her undying fate in other people’s goodwill despite what their actions may be is unmatched.
Impatient?
Cade, he always had little patience for talks, prefers action.
Clumsy?
Cade again, he is also a pretty big goofball.
Ambitious?
Robin, due to her status of Champion, but Lavender comes a close second.
Caring?
I’d say Alexis, just because she’s the most explicit in showing it.
Feared?
Lavender. Strong Gym Leader, uses two types, and considered pretty scary looking too. Robin comes second as Champion and strongest trainer.
Admired?
Definitely Robin, again, she’s the Champion, she’s as admired as she’s feared. 
Nitpicky?
Trish, absolutely obsessed, especially with looks.
Reliable?
Either Brina or Remus, because they’re the oldest and most responsible, and again Champion Robin too is expected to take active part in her duties.
Clingy?
Trish, she doesn’t like to let go of people.
Logical?
Remus, he’s old and knowledgeable.
Soft?
Alexis or Sakura, they have no problems in showing themselves emotional, very affectionate too.
Chill?
Serbis, he’s the calmest thing.
Blunt?
Trish, she will say everything in your face.
Sarcastic?
Probably Serbis? Usually only in squabbles with Cade.
Quick-tempered?
Trish, she has an easy anger switch, but Lavender is a close second, but you’ve got to know which buttons to push with her.
Fashionable?
Also Trish, dancer and model, enough said.
Attentive?
Robin, very observant, can’t hide things or feelings from her, she’ll feel it with her aura.
Confident?
Sakura, oddly enough, has quite the confidence despite her half blindness and full faith in her team.
Rebellious?
Lavender, she doesn’t love rules.
Superstitious?
No one really, maybe Cade a little, he’s a bit silly at times.
Introverted?
Lavender, loves to stick on her own, Serbis is a close second.
Extroverted?
Sakura or Cade, Cade is a bit of a show off, Sakura just loves people in general.
Witty?
Cade, he’s the funny guy.
Fearful?
No one is truly fearful much, not fearful of small or silly things that is.
Brave?
Robin, due to her growing up with the mindset of a brave warrior she faces her challenges holding her head high.
Anxious?
I’d say Brina, only a bit, but she is still the protective mama at times. 
Social?
Sakura loves people, so does Cade, and Robin needs to be rather social too as Champion.
Fair?
Alexis, expect no hits from the back from her, they won’t happen.
Optimistic?
Also Alexis, she despises thinking badly in general.
Pessimistic?
Lavender, doesn’t see things in a positive light most of the time.
Helpful?
Alexis, will lend her help for anything, her psychic powers are very useful in the regard. And Robin, god forbid if she wasn’t doing all she can so her region can shine.
Talented?
Depends which talents, Serbis is a good musician, Cade is a good forger, and Trish is a good dancer, Sakura a good swimmer, and Robin a good martial arts master. 
Outspoken?
Trish, same reason as she’s blunt.
Generous?
Alexis, she’s just the good helpful woman.
Bold?
Trish, especially in a relationship.
Petty?
Lavender, she can hold grudges for years and years, even when she’s wrong and needs to be proven that she is on the wrong side too for her to possibly change ideas.
Fun?
Cade, again, big goofball.
Badass?
Robin, again, she’s the Champion. But all of them in general.
Spontaneous?
Sakura, follows her instincts a lot.
Popular?
Robin, again, Champion status. Second popular is Trish, because she’s pretty.
Athletic?
Robin, Sakura and Trish, martial arts fighter, swimmer and dancer respectively.
Organised?
Remus, he owns the local museum, Brina too, she's pretty clean.
Capable?
Pretty much them all, but more is expected from Robin usually.
Adventurous?
Sakura, in the positive way, and Lavender, but in the negative way, willing to try destructive things the most.

I just wanted to drop by and say that I really like your writing style and I loved your soulmate AU story so far!
Just wanted to drop a request too since it's open. It might be a weird [kind of contradictory] request but maybe some fluffy yandere hcs/scenarios for the adult trio? If you only want to write for one, would Hisoka or Chrollo be ok?
One big cup of Rose Tea coming right up! WARNING SLIGHT YANDERE TENDENCIES, FLUFF AND NON-CON DRUGGING
Tumblr media
I hope these are to your liking, it's my first time writing hcs so I apologize if the characters are a bit OOC. Enjoy your Rose Tea!
Tumblr media
Hisoka
We all know Hisoka is low-key already yandere...I mean, look at his lustful half-lidded eyes and his tongue licking his lips. 
You're an innocent little peach in his eyes, and he wants to keep it that way. This means all his blood-related business and quirks are hidden from you, but you're bound to find some bloodstains on one of his shirts.
"Oh that, mmhhh just a little accident with some wine, (Y/N)-Chan. Nothing to worry your pretty little head about"
Do not look at his phone's gallery unless you want to see how many times he's slipped into your room and watched you sleep or worse... 
It's alright in this scenario if you don't have a powerful nen ability or if you're not strong to fight off anything, he needs you to be so you don't leave him. That doesn't mean he won't tease you to death and try to rile you up so you at least playfully punch him. 
"Oh, Oh, little peach, don't give me that look, you're going to turn me on˜"
Hisoka is touchy-feely and clingy; he will be on you all the TIME to the point of suffocation, and if he isn't touching you, his bungee gum sure is. 
Surprise hugging from behind is a thing. He will tackle you to the ground or unto the bed, and from there is mandatory cuddles, constricting you as a snake would, and it's wise not to refuse him. You're not getting out either way so just accept it. 
"Hisoka, I have to work! Come on, it's important!"
"But I'm more important, right?˜," he says playfully, but there's a sliver of a threat in his undertone as he drawls the last word. 
Definitely, PDA and heated kisses in public; everyone needs to know who you belong to if the hickeys and bite marks are not enough proof, not to mention you wouldn't be able to get far from him; his bungee gum would be on you at all times. 
He's very whimsical, so it might be difficult to differentiate his normal behavior from his obsession. But IF you do get wind of his fascination and try to avoid him, then it's time to move on to more drastic measures. 
"Oh, Hisoka, you baked cookies for me?! They look so good!" you happily say as you bite the first heart-shaped cookie, his eyes never leaving your lips as you lick the crumbs off. 
"Mhhhm, anything for my little fruit is my pleasure." He offers a close eye smile as you hold your lower region; there's a sudden and painful feeling like a liquid fire consuming you from the inside out. But Hisoka just smiles at you as you writhed on the floor from the need. "Since you've been avoiding me lately, I guess you can deal with this by yourself, can you little peach?"
Tumblr media
Illumi 
Out of all of them, I feel Illumi is most likely the one to lose control, but he's not lovey-dovey like the other two might be at the occasion. His emotions are more reserved and minimal, which makes them special, and that's how he gets you.
At first, he wouldn't understand why there's a need for you, why he can't seem to be away from you for a long while, or why can't he stop thinking if there's someone else with you at the moment.
This feeling is annoying, but the cure is simple, he just needs to spend time with you, so they'll go away. 
Wrong.
You give him so much love and affection is hard not to be addicted to it after being neglected in that area of his life for so long. The more time he spends with you, the more he needs. He wants longer hugs, longer cuddle sessions, more kisses to the point where it turns plain out possessive. 
lllumi will come by every day to make sure you’re okay and don’t need anything. But the undertone of his visits is to see if you’re still there for him and will never leave him, not that he’ll actually let you, but you know semantics. 
He doesn’t smile much, but when he’s with you the corners of his lips quirk up a bit, and it seems he enjoys being with you and knows something you don’t. 
Will rest his chin on your shoulder and your head while you do things, his arms snaking around your waist, keeping you close to him. He needs to be reassured that you're there and won't leave him. 
If your work is taking all of your time, he will grab your wrists and pull you into his lap, his chin resting on your shoulder, leaving a small peck on your temple. 
"Llumi! I need to submit this by midnight; we can cuddle after that."
"No," there's no explanation or reply, just a simple rejection that sends chills up and down your spine as he places one kiss to the pulse on your neck. 
I don't think you would want to say otherwise while he hugs all of you like a child with his teddybear, suffocating you.
There would be no PDA and no signs of affection in public, but make no mistake; just because he doesn't seem to coddle you in front of everyone doesn't mean you can do whatever and stray away from him. You so much as step outside the line he established to grab a shirt from the racks, and immediately your right to go outside is revoked. 
After that display of possessiveness,  you surely know something's not right here, but it's not like you can go up to him and say so, so you'll try to lessen the amount of time you give him and put that time to do other things. 
Big mistake, one night while working late, he will come in with a nice cup of rose tea, steaming hot and warm to your fingers. You thank him as he sits on the corner of your bed, watching you intently as you take your first sip. 
"Thanks, Llumi, this paper is driving me up a wall." 
"You need to rest; you have been overworking yourself... and neglecting our time together." Your heart drops to your stomach when you lose feeling in your throat; trying to gulp down feels like a hard task all of a sudden. Your head is slowly spinning until it's so heavy you can't keep upright, and he catches you, pulling you close to rest on his chest.
"If you can't take care of yourself and finish your tasks in time to be with me, I'll do it for you."
Tumblr media
Chrollo
He wouldn't show signs of the obsession plain out; instead, he will be subtle about it.
"Are you eating healthy? Here have this instead. Don't say up too late working, don't stress, I don't like you wearing that, wear this instead. Read this one instead."
All these are normal, right? But he's slowly trying to mold you into his perfect image of you. 
Still, he's charming and gentlemanly about everything; he likes to hold you close no matter where you are, give you hand kisses like a prince and a princess before their dance. 
He's a romantic, giving you forehead kisses when he feels overwhelmed with gratitude for having you in his life. Will read to you while having you rest on his chest as he pets your hair until you fall asleep. Spontaneous waltz in your living room. 
Definitely, would steal for you. He hands you a catalog of several things in a museum or an auction and will tell you to hypothetically pick the ones you like if you had enough money to buy them. To you, it's a pretend game, something for giggles, but for him is all about getting anything you want. 
After months of the reported robberies in said auction, he will come by one day with a nice gift box and guess what's inside. 
"Oh no, I can't accept this, it's too much how did you manage to buy this, you-"
"It's a replica; they were stolen; remember, love, don't worry about it. I know how much you wanted it" He snaps the clasp around your neck as you thank him profusely, not minding that the thing on you is the real deal. 
You will never catch a glimpse into his dirty business, not unless he actually lets himself slip to gauge your reaction. 
"They will never find it," he casually mentions as the news that the objects stolen have not been found. He doesn’t even look up from his book while drawing small circles on your shoulder. You chuckle, sipping your hot chocolate. 
"Come on, don't be that negative; they might one day, and when they do, I would love to see it in person." 
"Why, love, you see it everyday," he chuckles, side glancing at you. 
"That's a replica!" you turn to look at him with a smile, but he isn't smiling; he's not kidding, and you're feeling a bit lightheaded. "Right? Chrollo?"
Your cup falls from your hands as you stumble a bit forward, and he catches you, closing his book. He hugs you close, your head resting in the crook of his neck. 
"Don't worry, my love, you're the best treasure I've had the pleasure of stealing." 
Tumblr media
I hope this was good!!

yandere!fanboy!ateez reacts: to you working with a male idol
This is: requested |  💌 REQUESTS: open
Hongjoong: 
He was aware that his Y/N has been cited by a few male celebrities as their crush. And Hongjoong agrees to that, who wouldn’t fall in love with a woman like Y/N? But he couldn’t help but get mad at the fact that these men should keep their distances from you. They are nowhere close to you, they don’t know like how he knows you. 
When the news of you joining a blind date cafe released this morning, Hongjoong spat his milk and could feel his blood boil. He clicks all the articles that were posted a few seconds ago only to calm down a bit after. He thought that you were going to a blind date cafe when in fact you would be working as a staff in the cafe. A sigh of relief escaped his lips before he takes another gulp on his milk carton, admiring the photos of you that the press released. 
Tumblr media
Seonghwa: 
While his parents were away, Seonghwa made himself comfortable in the living room. With the remote control in his hand, he flipped through the channels, but none of them had you in it. He stopped at a certain channel as he saw you in a jeans cf. His heart raced at how beautiful yet sexy you looked. He was in awe until he saw Monsta X’s Minhyuk come into the frame with you. He didn’t like how close you two got or how intimate you both looked at each other. In rage, Seonghwa went to the kitchen to take his mother’s meat hammer before swinging it to the screen of the television numerous times. 
He stopped when his hand went inside the now broken television and how shards of glass stabbed on the skin of his wrists. He panted slowly before going back to the kitchen to clean the hammer and his hand before buying another television. 
Tumblr media
Yunho: 
You and Enhypen’s Heeseung partnered for a smartphone advertisement and CF. Apart from the CF, the smartphone company created a two minute song that would turn into an MV and be released as soon as production finishes. And when the MV and CF came out, Yunho did not like what he was seeing. 
It was supposed to be a smartphone CF but why on earth is Heeseung on top of you? He was fuming mad that he left negative comments on the platform and went to sleep. When the sun rose the following day, the news of you and Heeseung going for a fansign rolled in. To enter, customers must own the following smartphone series’, to which Yunho was lucky that he owns not one, but two of them! That meant that Yunho was eligible for two free tickets to enter the said event. 
“Hello, I’m a fan!” Yunho spoke to Heeseung, handing to him the free poster that was meant to be signed. “I saw the MV and CF and you looked really good!” Yunho smiles widely. “Really good to throw my fist on your stupid face.” Yunho chuckles. At that moment, Heeseung is already feeling uneasy. “Do me a favor and get away from Y/N alright? The MV and CF were only a success because of Y/N. You? No one even knows you. Take my advice, leave the brand.” 
The following day, Heeseung terminated his contract with the smartphone brand. 
Tumblr media
Yeosang: 
Little baby is so ecstatic that you landed yourself on your first ever movie. But his happiness was cut short when he learned that you were paired with UP10TION’s Wooseok and that the movie tackles toxic and abusive teenage relationships and sex. That night he worked on creating dozens of accounts to stop the production of the film. Creating hashtags and template emails all night because he didn’t like how his Y/N would show her body for thousand’s to see. 
Despite his drastic efforts to stop the film, the staffs and management carried on until the end. Yeosang didn’t like how they carried on and didn’t like how the movie teasers came out. And so on the night before the movie was to be premiered, Yeosang stabbed about seven staffs from the cinema, broke all equipment and deleted all the finished files of the film before running away. 
Up until this date, no one knows who did it and the film was never redone. 
Tumblr media
San: 
San knew that you love using Skin Sweet and Care* products. You said so during Starlight’s 24 Hour Relay Cam! Would ever doubt San? He makes a list of all the products that you use, purchases them and adds them in his museum of you. As much as you love the said product, the company decided to sign you and Stray Kids’ Hyunjin, Minho and Felix. He scoffed at the idea, ‘My Y/N alone can increase the sales of the brand’ he thought to himself. 
So when the CF came out, San was very furious. It ended up with you trying on three different shades of lipstick and had to kiss each member. The viewers find the CF cute but for San, he wanted to see blood. That night, he made a couple arrangements and went to Gangnam. Killing Hyunjin, Minho and Felix when they were left in their dorms, applying the shade of lipstick on their lips before he leaves their dorms, untraced. 
* - fake and made up brand 
Tumblr media
Mingi: 
Big baby is so happy that you are casted on your very first drama. He knows that this casting call mean so much to you as you have expressed your desire to venture into acting. And now here you are casted. He learned that the drama you were casted into is a webtoon turned drama called “Untouchable” and the leading guy was to be played by none other than Ong Seongwoo. 
Mingi didn’t like how you were going to be casted as the one who has to be clingy and in love with the male character. He went on each of his social media platform to talk negatively about it - how much of a bad choice the crew made (except Y/N of course). 
And when the following morning came, the news of the drama was called to have been cancelled. 
Tumblr media
Wooyoung: 
He knew that you and Victon’s Seungwoo are paired for a duo by VS Media and Cube Ent. He already had an idea that you and Seungwoo are going to be formed just like Troublemaker. And when the MV came out, he was right and mad all along. 
He didn’t like how intimate the two of you got, how you almost wear nothing in the video and the awful amount of how many times you and Seungwoo kissed. Wooyoung was so mad that he tried to hack the systems to delete the song, purchased a few information before heading out to the night. 
The following day, the news of Seungwoo passing away and the song being deleted were in the headlines. 
Tumblr media
Jongho: 
Jongho didn’t like how you and Lai Guanlin were paired as the first couple ever since We Got Married came back on screen. He needed to act quick since the start of filming would happen next week. And so he made nuemerous accounts to cause fanwars between Y/N’s fans and Guanlin’s fans online. 
The following day, the hashtags for #WeGotMarried #YN and #Guanlin are trending first in Naver and Twitter Worldwide. It didn’t take awhile before the producers of the show released a statement that the show would be cancelled.

You’re Scaring Me- Prompt Fill
Tumblr media
Jon is out of town somewhere in the nebulous future of a happy ending, and Martin is having a rough time.
cw isolation, guilt, references to child abuse, negative self talk, mentions of the Lonely, panic attacks
Tumblr media
I am still accepting bingo prompts! Still have a couple outlined but not written/posted, and a few that still need requests (send me a character and let me know if you want a drawing or a fic (drawings happen much faster)). Have a lovely day!!!!!
Alone.  
Martin knows that isn’t true.  Not really.  He could be talking to Jon in a matter of seconds.  He knows.  He does.  That Jon would pick up the phone without hesitation no matter where he is.  Jon is just gone for a few days.  Taking in a few museums and bookshops during a short university break.  Well deserved, because Jon has been working his ass off, trying to keep up with grading and coaxing students to turn things in on time.  
Martin would have gone if he didn’t still have work.  
In any case.  
Technically Martin is alone.  And that should be fine.  It is fine.  
It’s been years since the Lonely.
He shouldn’t be feeling like this.  He shouldn’t need someone with him to feel like a person.  He shouldn’t need Tim to drop in and check on him.  And, yes he does want to see Tim, but... this feels more like he needs a babysitter.  And he doesn’t want to put Tim out.  
Martin presses himself into the couch.  He should get a blanket.  Preferably his heated blanket.  But.  That feels like cheating.  
He closes his eyes as he exhales, afraid of the puff of fog that might escape him.  Better he doesn’t see.  
He doesn’t really want to see anyone right now.  It sounds like a lot more effort than he has energy.  Numb limbs heavy on a faded couch.  
Faded?  Is it really that dull a color?  Or has the brightness gone with Jon?  
Heh.  Jon really is the light of his life, he supposes.  What a stupid sappy stereotype.  
He disgusts himself.  
Why would Jon want to come back to this flat?  It’s too cold, anyways.  
He doesn’t want Tim to come to dinner.  He doesn’t have the energy to shower.  He should shower before he goes out.  He knows he isn’t smelling the freshest.  Is the salt on his skin and his lips from the clammy sweat that clings to him as his anxious thoughts writhe, or is it the salt spray of the Lonely?   Either way.  He is sticky and salty.  And not fit for dinner.  Not alone and certainly not with anyone else.  
He’ll pull the life out of Tim.  The warmth.  He shouldn’t subject Tim to his mood and what his mood can do when he’s like this.  
He shifts on the warn fabric of the couch.  Drawing himself inwards.  
Trying to find warmth in his core but just making himself a small, cold lump.  
Pluto, abandoned, and frozen, and ignored.  
With icy fingers that his phone hardly recognizes, he texts Tim to cancel.  
Tim curses when he gets the text.  He isn’t surprised to get it.  But that doesn’t stop his heart from juddering.  
“Sash, I’m going over.  You coming?”
“Hurry up, Stoker, I’m already out the door.”
She is, and Tim scrambles to catch up.  
He doesn’t want to admit how tightly he holds her hand on the tube.
The apartment door is cool to the touch.  
As it should be, Tim’s fire-fighter brain supplies.  But this is a little too cold.
A little frosty.  The door knob mottled by the cold.  
He knocks.  Loudly.  Shave-and-a-haircut.  “Martin?”
Martin knows it’s Tim.  Intellectually, he knows it has to be.  That’s how Tim always knocks.  But it jolts Martin out of the cold ball he has made himself into, and …nowhere.  
Part of him is shoved against a wall with Jane Prentiss banging on the door.  Part of him is pierced by the guilt that Tim has come all this way just for him and that he is stupid and needy and worthless for needing looking after, just a parade of guilt and isolation because he never learned how to grow up.  Part of him is back in his closet hands over his ears as his parents fought, then barged in to give him an apology that never really apologized, just made him feel like he’d done wrong or that no matter how tidy and quiet he was he would never be worthy or clean.  And part of him is still on a distant beach.  Distant in distance and emotion.  
And he can’t breathe.  
Memories in his lungs.  
Guilt in his throat.  
Coughing and choking on the chilly air, too busy drowning to even call out to the Tim shaped life preserver banging on his door.  His hands going numb and his muscles spasming.  
Useless.  Can’t go a weekend without Jon without a panic attack.  Stupid.  Codependent.  Needy.  Clingy.  Worthless excuse for an adult.  Can’t be a person for a single weekend.  
Tim unlocks the door without getting a response.  Of course he has a key.    
He can’t say he’s surprised to find Martin hyperventilating and crying silently on the couch in a slightly foggy flat.  He would like to have been surprised by this… but he isn’t.  
Martin’s been having a rough go of it recently.  Becoming and EMT means less time at home and with Jon.  Less time to see his therapist.  And Tim knows Martin has talked to Jon about this, and to his therapist, and to Tim and to Sasha, but that doesn’t help the reality of this.  Martin is worn thin, and he knows it too, which is why Tim and Sasha were going to visit with him anyhow.  
“Hey, buddy?”  Tim eases himself closer to Martin.  
Sasha is… not the most comfortable getting cried on.  She prefers doing things to provide comfort not actually physically being there.  She’s done it for Tim a few times, but she prefers showing her love in other ways.  Like with a favorite meal.  Or pirating a favorite movie.  Or buying interesting rocks.  Little ways to show love without… getting damp or snotty.  Tim knows this, and figures she has slipped off to fetch Martin’s electric blanket, and start the kettle on the hob, and send a text to Jon, saying something to the effect of: please call.  
Tim is all for damp hugs.  He is all for clinging to someone like they are the last hope in the world, or as if he can hold that person together as the world tries to shake them to pieces.  He’s done that with Jon in the distant past… and the very recent past.  He’s done that with Sasha a few times, but not as often.  And he has done that with Martin… just as he does this time.  
Asking permission, of course.  
Getting a jerky nod in answer to ‘is touch okay?’  
He gathers Martin into his arms.  He knows how much pressure Martin likes.  He might not be as good a hugger as Martin, but he likes to think he’s a close second (with Sasha coming in third, and Jon in last place.  Those noodle arms of his docking points).  
“Buddy, can you breathe for me?”
Martin shakes his head, gasping some things that certainly don’t quite count as breaths.  
“Martin, you’re scaring me, please take a breath?”  Tim keeps murmuring to him for several minutes before it seems like Martin is getting any oxygen to his brain.  But, Tim supposes, since he hasn’t passed out, he’s probably managing.  “That’s really, really good, bud.  Think you can manage some grounding exercises?  Either that or I tell Sash to find you a lemon.  Not the old school name for sexy time fan fiction, but an actual lemon.  I read somewhere that biting one can help stop a panic attack, but I keep forgetting to try it.  Do you wanna try that?  Or should we stick with the more conventional?”  
Martin signs he wants the grounding exercises.  
Tim huffs a laugh.  Martin isn’t the biggest fan of lemon.  “We can try that one another time.  Can you name five things you can see?”
Martin signs “Couch, you, my hands, the ceiling, the coffee table.”
Tim presses a kiss to the top of his head.  “Good.  Now four things you can feel?  Or is it four you can hear and three you can feel?  Fucked if I know.  You’d think I would know this after doing it every few weeks.  You’d have to ask Sash or Jon.  Just… uh go with the first one.  I guess.  Buddy, you are doing great.”
Martin’s hands are clumsy and shaky and never were the best at BSL, but Tim can understand him well enough.  He names four of each just to be safe.  And it does help calm him down…. but Tim is pretty sure he loses Martin to his mind not long after.  
Martin staring blankly at the ceiling as Tim runs a hand through his hair.  He isn’t as into it as Jon is, but Martin seems to like it.  
He’s warmed up enough to start shivering, which Tim is pretty sure is a good thing.  Right?  When you stop shivering is when you should worry about hypothermia.  Plus, he has the electric blanket that Sasha found, and some tea, so he’s probably doing better.  
And Sash convinced Jon to start back home.  Yeah Martin will probably feel guilty about it, but Jon wouldn’t forgive them if they didn’t keep him posted about Martin’s wellbeing.  
Martin must have fallen asleep.  Or… did he just go all space cadet on Tim and Sasha?  …He shouldn’t have done that.  If he hadn’t canceled their plans, they would have all had a nice evening even if they were babysitting a grown man….
Shut up Martin inner monologue!  
He takes a few deep breaths before he can spiral again.  
He opens his eyes to see Jon curled against his chest.  And Martin half on top of Tim, and Sasha curled up against Jon.  
Martin is exhausted.  Panicking having sucked any life in him away hours ago.  He can’t bring himself to move.  He can’t even bring himself to pay attention to the movie that he is sure is his favorite that is playing quietly on the television.  He breathes deep the smell of Jon’s conditioner.  The smell of Tim’s deodorant.  The softest hint of Sasha’s lip balm.  And he tucks the electric blanket a little tighter around himself, and lets himself rest.

Personality: Playful, laid back, dynamic, practical, passive, introvert. Likes to tease, poke and joke around, can be chaotic and energetic if want to other then that then mostly chill. A curious chicken: likes to do many things out of curiosity but needs some motivation and stimulation and if safety isn’t guaranteed then I’ll back down right away. Is actually quite responsible when need to. Anxiety is guaranteed, if i spot any sign of negativity, hostility i will back pedal hard unless the person gives me the green card of “no worries lol” otherwise avoiding said person like a plague i go, at least until I’m comfortable again. Sometimes impatient and can zone out a lot.
Hobbies: All kinds of game as long as it’s interesting, occasionally draw or write, watching random stuff on youtube. Likes to info dive if something peaks my interest. Bantering with others especially friends. Can get bored easily so constantly crave new and interesting things and often jump from stuff to stuff so diversity in interest bbyyyy
Pet peeves: Baby talk, poking nose into personal businesses, being irrational and or obnoxious, look down on me
Deal breaker: Degrading, too clingy, nit pick things, short temper, boring, vagueness, no mutual respect. Too heavy on wanting kids
Value in life: Experience and Knowledge
There are so many unanswered things, to get to see how each things work and play their part in life is very fascinating. Getting to do research of my own with hands on experiments with things that is of my interest fills me with joy. Life is too short and there are many fun things you need to have a taste of at least once. Diverse skill set is a huge bonus that comes with
This shall gives u a hard time ehehehe
Not hard at all lol
I’m matching you with….
Sans!!! The sexy man himself!!
What draws sans to you is your curiosity. You have a love for learning and experiencing new things. That brings the passion back in his life. With you he never feels bored or lethargic
The fact that you can be chaotic but also limit yourself is a huge plus in your favor in getting with sans. He’s a prankster and loves a good joke, as long as it’s safe and legal of course! Pranks are meant to confuse, not hurt! The prank wars between you two are legendary
Sans default nickname is kid or kiddo. He even calls monsters who are clearly older kid. Drives people mad. The best way to train him out of it is to start calling him Dr. Wingdings (technically his work title). He’ll never call you kid after a day of that lol
Sans favorite types of dates are educational. He loves visiting museums, historical sites, or tours.

is it okay if i request a headcanon for the brothers with an MC that feels perpetually alone even if they’re constantly surrounded by some form of company? definitely projecting a lot here, but it’s how i’ve been feeling for the past month or two and i don’t know what to do with myself. i hope you’re having a nice day though
Hiya, anon! :3 Of course it's okay! 😊I think we're all feeling lonely lately given the current pandemic. I mean, I've been lonely way before that so if you ever need a friend, my askbox is always open! ❤️
I included the undateables in this too. Uhh so yeah, this got a little long! I'm so sorry I can't do a read more break! I'm on mobile and I've tried everything in my power to put one in but tumblr is a prick.
Headcanons for an MC who Feels Alone 💙
Lucifer
💙 Lucifer can understand how you feel. He keeps a lot of things to himself and deals with them alone. Even being with others, that burden weighs him down.
💙 Once he picks up on how you're feeling, he instantly understands.
💙 Lucifer takes his mind off of the loneliness by burying himself with work but he doesn't want that for you. Instead, he'll have you work on something fun with him such as learning a new musical instrument together or building something for your room or his study.
💙 Lucifer will also want to help you get to the bottom of why you're feeling this way. When you're comfortable, the two of you can talk about it. Just having someone to share those feelings with will help both of you. When you're starting to feel lonely again, he encourages you to seek him out and he'll do the same.
💙 If more help is needed, Lucifer will support you if you need to go to therapy. If you ask, he will accompany you to your sessions.
💙 He will check in on you to see how you're feeling.
💙 When you're with him, he'll put his hand over yours or his arm around your waist, giving your hand or waist a small squeeze to snap you out of your thoughts and remind you that he is here, right beside you.
Mammon
💛 Boy is a little dense so he may not pick up on it right away. One of his brothers may have to point it out to him.
💛 Once he realizes, he will be confused. Why would you feel lonely when you have the Great Mammon beside you?
💛 Nevertheless, boy will try his best to make you feel less alone.
💛 Mammon is already pretty clingy, being a tsundere. While it may make him blush, he will start holding your hand more when you're together. He'll give it a squeeze and tell you the Great Mammon is here for you.
💛 Mammon has a playful side and knows what good distractions are. Water gun battle outside? Drop a water balloon on Lucifer's head when he's coming home? He'll risk his older brother's anger if it makes you laugh.
💛 Mammon also loves games of tag. Being a demon, he's very fast so he will slow himself down for it to be fair. Just expect him to wrap you up in his arms for a sweet little kiss when he catches you though. He will also teach you how to gamble if you don't already know how. Want to hit up the casinos? He's your man!
💛 Mammon will also steal buy things he thinks will cheer you up.
💛 There have been a few times where Mammon has felt alone too. Like when his brothers continuously insult him and he has to get away from them. He'll listen to you as you talk to him about your feelings. He likes to lay in bed with you, holding you close while rubbing your back and presses he's lips to your forehead. He also encourages you to get help if you continue feeling this way.
Leviathan
🧡 He's a shut in so he will not notice right away. One of his brothers will have to let him know his Henry is feeling lonely.
🧡 Levi can understand. Those close to him don't share his interest in gaming and anime. This makes him feel alone, even when he's surrounded by others because he has no one to talk to about the latest anime or the new dlc for Mononoke Land.
🧡 He is so to know his Henry feels that way. It reminds him of the anime, "I Died and Went to the Celestial Realm but I have Nothing Incommon with the Angels and Now I Missed my Chance at Reincarnation." Leviathan will use what knowledge he has of that anime to help you by doing things that helped the protagonist feel less alone.
🧡 Video games are a great distraction when you're feeling lonely and it's even better when you have a player too. Levi will find the most immersive simulation for the two of you to play together. It will be its own little world for just the two of you.
🧡 Leviathan also has a swimming pool that only he has access to. He will let you use it if you'd like. Swimming helps distract him from negative thoughts and emotions. He's more than happy to swim with you. If you don't know how to swim, he will teach you.
🧡 He will talk to you about how you're feeling and try to help you feel less lonely. If you're still feeling that way, he will softly encourage you to get more help. He wants you to be happy.
🧡 Although he is pretty shy when it comes to physical touch, he lets you rest your head on his shoulder/chest/lap when you watch anime together. He may even stroke your hair. He'll even let you in his bathtub bed with him. Levi will definitely be a blushing mess at first so you'll need to be patient with this precious bean.
Satan
💚 Being how social he is, you would think that loneliness is not a feeling the avatar of wrath feels too often, however, due to the circumstances surrounding how he came to being, he is one to feel alone. Now this is something he normally buries. Satan has not once met another who was born in the way he was. There are things he wishes he could ask others that were born like him and it does frustrate and sadden him that he has no one to ask.
💚 Satan is one of the most observant of the brothers. Due to his immense knowledge, he can see that something is bothering you. Once he finds out how you feel, he frowns, going over his psychology books to see what he can do to help you.
💚 Satan likes to be mentally stimulated as it distracts from his own feelings. He will take you on dates where you put your thinking skills to use such as escape rooms, mystery murder parties, and interactive museums.
💚 If you have an artistic side, he'll take you to an art class or work on an art project with you. Satan knows that creating things helps to make you feel fulfilled and thus distracting from perpetual loneliness.
💚 He will also read to you and let you pick out the book. Please don't make the poor boy read Twilight though! Do you have a comfort drink? He'll make it for you. He will also take you to his favorite bookstore and buy you any book that you want.
💚 If he can't help you get to the root of your problem, he will support you in getting additional help.
💚 When with you, he'll likely put his arm around you or a hand on your thigh, giving you a soft squeeze or a pat to let you know he's here for you. When he pulls you in for a hug, he always kisses the top of your head. Satan will also let you rest your head on his lap or his shoulder while he reads. His hands always seem to end up in your hair, threading it gently.
Asmodeus
💗 Asmo is another one that despite being a social butterfly, he has moments of loneliness.
💗 "Oh sweetheart, I never knew you felt that way," he'd pull you into a hug, reassuring you that you'll never be alone as long as he's with you. Despite how much he likes to talk, he's also a good listener.
💗 If you like clubbing, he will take you to the best clubs and dance the night away with you.
💗 Asmodeus' way of dealing with unpleasant feelings is self care. He'll gladly paint your nails, do your hair, and try different face masks with you. Do you want a massage? He has plenty of relaxing massage oils that have nice scents like lavender and bergamot.
💗 Asmo will also treat you to something he normally only reserves for himself, his private bathroom. He'll let you pick out your choice of bath bombs, salts, and gels from his personal collection. If you're uncomfortable with him bathing with you, he will wait outside and give you all the time you need. If you don't mind him joining you, he'll respect your boundaries. If you're comfortable with him, he'll pull you onto his lap, washing you off lovingly and just enjoying the hot bath with you. He'll probably throw some flower petals in the bath tub and light some candles for some ambiance.
💗 Do you have a favorite flower? Asmo will put one on your nightstand every morning so you know you're the first thing on his mind when you wake up.
💗 He'll always encourage you to get the help you need should you need professional help to address your feelings. Getting help is a form of self-care.
💗 Asmodeus is not shy when it comes to affection. He's constantly lacing your fingers together or wrapping an arm around you. He likes to run circles on your skin with his thumbs while whispering praises and comforting words in your ear.
Beelzebub
❤️ Beel knows all too well what it's like to feel alone. After Lilith died he was devastated. When Lucifer locked Belphegor in the attic, Beelzebub couldn't take it. He began eating more and looking a lot less happy. He thought his twin was in the human world. He felt so alone without Belphie because Belphie knows Beel best.
❤️ When you came along, he was initially wary and just didn't want to connect with a human but as soon as he started hanging out with you, he noticed he didn't feel as sad and lonely. Being with you made him feel happy.
❤️ When he finds out how you feel, this boy will absolutely do everything in his power to help you. You helped him in so many ways and he will return the favor.
❤️ Beel is a good listener. He will listen to whatever's on your mind and try to find ways to help you based on what you tell him.
❤️ What's your favorite comfort food? Expect Beelzebub to surprise you with your favorites every day. You can expect to wake up to your favorite breakfast snack on your nightstand before you start your day. Your favorite meal? Beel will cook it for you as often as you'd like.
❤️ If you need to get out, Beel will take you to his favorite restaurants and help you to find your own favorite restaurant in the Devildom. Eventually, the staff will notice how often the two of you come in and will reserve a special booth for the two of you every time you stop by.
❤️ Beelzebub also likes to hit the gym. If you like to exercise, he'll bring you with him. He's the perfect exercise buddy. If you're too tired to exercise, he'll still invite you. He may even incorporate you into his weight training if you don't mind. Plus, you get to watch Beel workout! What better way to take your mind off things than looking at this eye-candy!
❤️ Beel knows when to encourage you to seek help. This sweet boy will help you take baby steps at first if that's what you need. He will gladly wait outside at your appointment so he can walk you home and take you out for dinner afterwards.
❤️ Whenever you need a hug, Beelzebub is more than happy to oblige. He gives the best hugs out of all his brothers. He'll pick you up and spin around if it makes you happy. If you're shorter than him, he'll pick you up for all the smooches you ask for. Even if you're taller than him, he still likes carrying you. You can sit on his lap when you're hanging out, he may blush if others are around but he likes how perfectly you fit there. Beel is the type to hold your hand and give you a quick peck on the cheek just to remind you that he's here for you.
Belphegor
💜 Belphegor suffers from survivor's guilt. He never told his brothers about how he felt so he knows what those feelings of perpetual loneliness, even when in a crowded room, feel like. He was also very lonely being locked up in that attic too.
💜 As soon as he realizes you're feeling this way, Belphegor will do everything in his power to help you. He doesn't want anyone else to feel that way, especially you.
💜 Belphie will talk to you about how you're feeling. He'll help you figure out why you're feeling that way. He has some coping mechanisms of his own which he will share with you. He makes sure you know to come to him as soon as you start feeling like that.
💜 Belphegor likes to stargaze. It helps take his mind off of his loneliness. He will bring you with him. If you two are apart, he will call you and ask you to look at the stars while he does the same so that you feel more connected.
💜 The boy has a sense of humor. If he sees you starting to frown he'll tickle you. Belphie uses his playfulness as a distraction and will pull you into pranks that he's plotting. He loves to hear your laugh.
💜 Despite being an introvert, when Belphegor does go out, he always invites you to come with him. He also plans dates for the two of you based on your interests.
💜 Cuddles, lots of cuddles. Belphie will wrap you up in his arm and legs, clinging to you. "I won't let you feel alone, MC." He likes to press his lips to your cheek press soft kisses against your skin. Sometimes he'll whisper compliments and reassuring words between each kiss.
💜 He may also call his twin over to join the cuddle pile if you're not opposed to it. He hopes that with you between him and Beel, that you start to feel less lonely. They both give amazing hugs.
💜 Belphie will check on you every day. He is very attentive to your needs. He likes to hold your hand, lacing your fingers together so you know he's there. He'll give your hand a gentle squeeze and when you look over at him, he'll have the warmest smile on his face. As soon as one of his brothers looks over though, expect him to drop the smile. That smile is just for you.
Bonus!
Diavolo
🔥 Diavolo may have others around him constantly with being a prince, but that doesn't stop him from feeling lonely from time to time. He wishes he could have the bonds that Lucifer and his brothers do with MC and with each other. Loneliness comes in many forms.
🔥 When he finds out how you're feeling, he'll ask you why you feel this way. If you don't know why, he'll try his best to help you figure it out.
🔥 He'll also be one of the first to encourage to get professional help. He has connections all throughout the Devildom so I'm sure he has connections to professionals.
🔥 He may not be able to counsel you himself but boy will take you out wherever you want to go for a distraction. Diavolo knows the best places in the Devildom and he'd be happy to show you around to all of them.
🔥 Speaking of distractions, Diavolo will invite you to take part in all of his shenanigans. He wants to make you laugh.
🔥 He will always make time in his schedule for you, no matter how busy he is. He will set aside time for you every day, even if it's only for a few minutes to just catch up and see how your day is going.
🔥 Diavolo is definitely the type to show affection in public. He will put his arm around you and hold your hand when you're together. His hugs are strong and warm. He will encourage to stay the night as he doesn't want to leave your side. Diavolo likes to be the big spoon when you cuddle.
Barbatos
⏳ Barbatos has most likely been around longer than most of the inhabitants of the Devildom. There were times in his life where he felt alone too.
⏳ Upon learning you're feeling perpetual loneliness he will offer advice he has used himself over the years. He'll teach you different coping mechanisms and figure out what would work best for you.
⏳ Despite being a very busy demon, Barbatos would invite you over to the castle, usually under the excuse of keeping him company while he works. He likes having you with him too and this is a way that he gets to spend more time with you.
⏳ Barbatos will also surprise you throughout the week with your favorite tea/hot beverage. How he manages to sneak into the House of Lamentation to leave it on your nightstand, no one really knows. He'll often place a freshly picked flower beside the tea cup too. This is how he lets you know he's thinking of you.
⏳ Being your s/o, Barb would naturally know everything about you through your conversations. When he loves someone, he learns all the little details. He would take you out to your favorite places in the Devildom and show you some new spots he knows you'll like. Distraction helps.
⏳ No matter how busy Barbatos may be, he will find time for you. You are also a priority in his life and he would bring you the moon if it were to make you happy and feel less lonely.
⏳ Barbatos likes to take you on walks through Diavolo's gardens. The two of you stroll arm and arm as he tells you all about the different types of plants. There are some very romantic spots where he'll have a picnic setup and waiting for you.
⏳ Barbatos will let you hold onto his arm whenever you're walking some place together. He'll compliment you and tuck strands of hair behind your ears or stroke your cheek. When no one else is around, he'll steal a few kisses. His lips are surprisingly soft. He'll whisper, "I am always here for you, YN. You have my heart."
⏳ Like the others, Barbatos knows when it's time to encourage you to get professional help. He'll take you to your appointments if you'd like. He's a super supportive boyfriend.
Solomon
✨ It's pretty safe to assume that Solomon is King Solomon. He's been around for quite some time himself. He mentions in later lessons that at one point he felt lost. He's bound to have felt alone at times in his life.
✨ Solomon is perceptive. He's quick to pick up on you not feeling like yourself. He'll likely take you out for a drink at a more quiet bar and ask you what's going on. Once he learns your feelings, he'll give you advice on what's helped him.
✨ Laughter is one of the best medicines. I fully support the HC that Solomon knows what memes are and is current on millennial/gen z humor. He will send you different memes and tiktoks throughout the day. He knows all your favorites. Expect him to quote a lot of vines. As soon as the brothers start fighting, as per usual, he will break out with, "Can I get a waffle?" You giggling. "Can I please get a waffle?" You burst out in laughter.
✨ Distraction. Would you like to go on a trip to the human world? Solomon will take you to places you've always wanted to see but never had the chance to visit. If you'd like to learn magic, Solomon will teach you what he knows. Sometimes learning new things can take your mind off of the negative emotions.
✨ Solomon will tell you that he'll always be there for you. He goes out of his way to check up on you between classes and in the evening. He'll stop by the House of Lamentation regularly to visit, avoiding Asmo as best he can.
✨ He will sleep over. Just make sure you lock your door as the brothers can get nosy and jelly. If you want to sleep over at Purgatory Hall, he's happy to let you spend the night with him there.
✨ Solomon isn't too shy about affection. He likes to snake an arm around you or hold your hand when you're in public. Sometimes he'll put his hand on your back and let it travel further down. He strikes me as a butt-slapper. Physical attention, is also his way of reminding you he's here. He'll also pull you away into abandon corridors for kisses and other activities.
✨ Solomon will also suggest you seek professional help if you're not feeling better. He's probably had to rely on some himself at one point or another.
Simeon
💫 Simeon has been alive for a long time and has probably felt this way himself at one point or another.
💫 He is quick to pick up on how you're feeling being empathetic. Angel boy will bring you back to his room to talk with you about it. He's patient and will listen to everything you tell him.
💫 Unlike the others, he's going to first tell you that it's okay to feel this way sometimes before teaching you coping mechanisms.
💫 Simeon will take you out on cute dates to help distract you from those negative feelings. He wants to make beautiful memories with you to remember whenever you are starting to feel the loneliness creep up.
💫 He's very reassuring and will make sure you know he is also there for you. Simeon likes to stroke your hair and the back of your neck when your by his side, telling you how angelic you look. He will hold your hand and pull you in for gentle hugs. This boy loves to give forehead kisses. You can also feel his lips smile against your skin after kissing you. He likes to cup your cheek and and look into your eyes when you're cuddling together, reassuring you that he will always be there.
💫 Simeon will also help you find professional help if you need it and will support you every step of the way.
Luke (platonic friendo)
🧁 Smol bean has probably felt like this before. He's pretty young compared to the other angels so probably doesn't relate to them as much as he'd like to.
🧁 Being an angel, Luke can pick up on the feelings of others. He's going to be shy about asking you about it though. Once he does, he'll comfort you as best he can.
🧁 Luke will definitely bake your favorite pastries for you. He'll probably have you come over to Purgatory Hall though, wouldn't want Beel to inhale them all before you get a chance to eat them.
🧁 Smol bean will encourage you to get professional help and come with you for moral support.
🧁 He may not visit much at the House of Lamentation because he doesn't want to be around the brothers, but he'll always check in on you via text and invite you to hang out with him and Simeon.

heyyy could i get a matchup! i’m nonbinary and a huge art and fashion nerd. i try to be nice to people but i have a Really strong tendency to be moody and kind of rude sometimes and also have pretty bad social anxiety and don’t rly like crowds or strangers. i have mood swings a lot but im always very clingy and possessive of my partners….i have trouble a lot being honest with my emotions as well uu so i kind of fall into the tsundere trope... i would ideally liked to be matched with somebody that was also affectionate but also very respectful and understanding if i was having a negative mood swing! i really love drawing music and photography as well as cold weather! also if it helps i’m an ixtj thank you!
i pair u up with...
MORISAWA CHIAKI !
Tumblr media
he'd be ur biggest hypeman!!!!! whenever u try smthg new out (like fashion-wise or ur working on a new art piece) he'd praise u so much !!!! he'd also drag u to shopping centres nd buy u clothes if ur feeling down or even art museums!! the museum visits would be actually more often sometimes they r rlly quiet nd bcs it would make u calm he'd feel that his mission is complete!!! what a great hero !!! (he Does look at u longingly when ur busy thinking abt the art pieces tho;; he thinks u look v attractive when u look at the pieces nd whenever u explain it to them he'd go :0!!!!!!! not only bcs the info is interesting but also so r u)
he also doesn't mind if sometimes accidentally respomd rudely or smthg btw! like seen in several stories, he Loves doting on ppl he treasures, nd ur one of them! nd ur one of them!!!!! so he just laughs it off lol ; he also understands that u don't like crowds and learns abt ur anxiety early on, so he avoids forcing u to go somewhere w him if ur not feeling like it! (the shopping centres that he drags u to r usually quite empty - bcs he drags u there v late in the evening - bcs he knows u don't like ppl) ;; coming back to the doting point (nd also the fact that ur not good at being open w ur feelings), he likes to think he understands u (mostly he does, yes)!!!!! he likes giving u hugs nd kisses ur forehead alot if ur not feeling well these days nd he also likes to give them funny names nd says that they will help u heal lol (do u find them funny? unfortunately yes)
"nd here comes my new ultrapowered super duper strong healing hug from my super duper stronk ultimate s/o!!!!!!!!!!"
"chiaki pls"
HONOURABLE MENTION : HAKAZE KAORU !
Tumblr media
first of all, he finds u absoluteley adorable!!!!!! he definitely takes advantage of the fact that ur a tsundere nd teases u alot lol nd also the fact ur also clingy????? GOD HE LOVES TEASING U SO MUCH like sometimes he'd get u breakfast in bed or smthg when ur feeling down nd u'd get all blushy when he explains how much he appreciates being here w u nd he just grabs the pillow right on time when u chuck it towards him bcs hes too cheesy for ur own good;;;; nd heart;;;;; sigh

^_^ hey ! im a sun sag , aries rising and libra moon for haikyuu match up im so happy you got 100 followers you deserve it !!!! congratulations
thank you and i am sorry for being a lazy hoe and making you wait so long
I match you with Sugawara Koushi 
star sign: Gemini 
Tumblr media
Sagittarius Sun: With the sun situated in Sagittarius it indiactes a person who simply wants to explore the world around them. Suga is the perfect person to do this with, your dates are often full of adventure, these range from going on hike for the day and having a picnic on top of the hill (with the scenic view because duh romance), going out dancing (at the nighclubs if you are over 18 and yes he does get “down and dirty i will leave that to your imagination) and of course 3am convenience store trips. Suga loves that you take life as one big adventure and he always refers to you are his little explorer. Those with this placement are funny and cheerful, Suga abosolutely loves your positive energy and the pair of you are just two beautiful sunshine children, Asahi is slighly terrifed of you too because whenever he is doubting himself you both karate chop him (NEGATIVITY BEGONE). Also your jokes never fail to make Suga and the team laugh, you always see the team before their matches as your light hearted humour always helps the teams nerves. Furthermore, you are the litereal number 1 cheerleader for Karasuno, every game you and Saeko Tanaka are literally screeming your lungs out, and when Suga is put on and you are cheering for him, game over for the other team. Finally Sagittarius sun’s are known to love their freedom and hate any sort of restrictions. Suga is the perfect combinaton of chaos and order, like he would join in any sort of plan you have because he is a supportive boyfriend (for example, a food fight) but also knows when something is quite dangerous and he would hate it when you got hurt. If you ever did get hurt, doctor suga is here, he literally kisses the wounds better and puts on these pink cute plasters on you. The rest of the day Suga is going to be a little bit clingy, this behaviour includes you being on his lap and him just drowning you in cute chaste kisses. 
Libra Moon: The emotional expression of those with Libra moon are peaceful and polite. Suga just adores how sweet you are, like when you offered to help kiyoko and yachi clean up because you felt bad for interupting practice, he literally picked you and spun you about, like why are so precious. Suga wants a person who he believes he can show off to his friends and family and you fit the bill, he is constantly talking about all the sweet things you do and say to him. Daichi and Asahi are fed up but they never tell him that because he just has this starry look on his face whenever he talks about you. Furthermore, libra moons tend to be very creative and have some sort of creative interest that they express their emotions through, Suga is literally your number one supporter, the two of you go to the theatre, art galleries and museums and literally you look like that trendy couple in the movies. It is super romantic because he insists to hold your hands the whole time and buys you a cup of coffee, sometimes you like to just run down to the street as you both race each other to the train station. Your sweet giggles is a sound he will never get tired of and of course he takes pictures on his polaroid camera (to capture the sweetest person alive- his little explorer). Libra moons are in love with love and are simply hopeless romantics, Suga loves to indulge in your little fantasies, for example for your year aniversary he literally cooked you a home cooked meal (3 courses and everything) and decorated his entire house with rose petals and candles, he even insisted that he would clean up. For the remaining of the night he literally held you close as you both swayed to the music in the background. Suga loves that smile on your face when he goes out of his way to do something extra romantic and he knows that all the preparations are worth it just to see your adorable expression. 
Aries Rising: People with aries rising are known to be confident and strong, you will never not notice them. Suga definetely digs that vibe, like he always sneaks an arm around your waist because again he just loves to show you off, like that’s my girl. Before being in a relationship with him, he always loved to tease you about anything because of your strong responses and reactions (he couldn’t think of another way to make you notice him ok). He used to compliment you very loudly and some even a bit suggestive because he wanted to see you being shy however when you replied with something equally suggestive you had him hook line and sinker. Daichi was the only one actually getting embarassed. Those with Aries Rising know how to assert themselves and can easily stand up for what is right. Whenever Suga doubts himself as a volleyball player because of his own self esteem issues or someone suggesting this, you are ready to throw hands. You give one of the greatest pep talks ever and you literally kiss and cuddle him and you just make him feel like he is the luckiest man alive, also to the other people you do just start and argument with them (you always win because Aries Risings just have that intimidating presence) and Suga just watches you roast the living daylights out of them with a smug look on his face. Aries rising are also great leaders, Suga is a very easy going person and does not mind when you take the lead in your relationship because he knows it is something you naturally do. He loves it when you take the reins because he can just relax and enjoy your company, also he loves to be bossed around, like this lazy grin just appears in his face and whenever you get too bossy he always refers to you as “your highness”. Overall, your relationship is full of fun and laughter, with you too the adventure never stops it is only just beginning 
-----------------------
i am so sorry if this is too cringy at all, i was debating for weeks who to match you up with. 
I hope you have a lovely morning/evening wherever you are in the world
Take care 
Carla

'Painful at times': Anna Kendrick on delving into her 'love life' in new series
© Jenny Cooney
Read here, or below.
Anna Kendrick is facing a conundrum. And it’s one that has left the 34-year-old actor uncharacteristically tongue-tied as she sits in her LA home in isolation, talking over Zoom about Love Life, her first television series.
Looking much the same way she describes herself to her 7.3 million Twitter followers – “pale, awkward and very, very small” – she is no stranger to self-deprecating humour, as a recent tweet suggests: “I guess I’ll never be able to lie to myself again about all the shit I would do if I just had the time.”
But the petite, Oscar-nominated star of Up in the Air and the Pitch Perfect franchise is also notoriously protective of her personal life and has never confirmed she’s even dating cinematographer Ben Richardson, whom she reportedly met while making the 2013 indie film Drinking Buddies.
Which brings us to the question that’s just brought the conversation to a halt: how can she talk about her romantic-comedy series without talking about her own love life? “Well, as far as keeping it private, it isn’t easy, as you are proving right now,” she responds. “But that’s just always how it’s been for me.”
With that awkward moment over, Anna returns to her chatty self as we talk about her other Love Life, the Stan anthology series. Anna’s character, Darby, a museum tour guide, is the subject of the first 10-episode season as we follow her relationships from first love to lasting love via everything in between.
“The real arc that we wanted was to show how we learn from each relationship,” she says. “Even though our relationships end, it doesn’t mean they are complete failures. People come into your life and you grow and they change you and what you learn from them might be really positive or it might be negative.”
The series shares DNA with Sex and the City and Girls as we watch a group of friends clumsily navigating the messy reality of pairing up. “It was painful at times and I cringed at the way that I, and so many women that I know, dated guys in our early 20s – the way we were so awkward and needy and clingy,” Anna says.
“Looking back now, it’s like, ‘Oh god, I acted like such a jerk in that relationship.’ Or all the times I didn’t feel strong enough to say, ‘You can’t speak to me that way.’ I’m just so happy that I’m clearer now about what I will accept from people in my life.”
As Anna grows more relaxed, we circle back to the dating themes of the show and how they resonated in her life. “When I was maybe 14 or 15, somebody gave me this specific example, that if you’re ever in a car with a guy, and he’s driving, and as a joke he lets go of the wheel and makes you grab it, that is not a guy you want to be with,” she recalls.
“He might say, ‘Hey, I’m just joking, why are you being so sensitive?’ But really, he’s testing your boundaries and what you’re willing to put up with and trying to make you uncomfortable."
“It sounds silly, but I dated a guy when I was 19 who tickled me all the time and I don’t like being tickled, because it makes me claustrophobic. So I kept saying, ‘This is a problem for me. Please don’t do it.’ "
“But he kept doing it and I thought, ‘He’s the guy with the steering wheel!’ So, I broke up with him and he told everyone it was because he tickled me. I was like, ‘No, dude, I broke up with you because you didn’t respect me!’ ”
Anna Kendrick grew up in the sleepy US East Coast town of Portland, Maine, the daughter of a history teacher and an accountant. At age six she scored the lead role in a community-theatre production of Annie. By 10, she was insisting her parents make the five-hour drive into New York City for stage auditions. And at 12 she scored a Tony nomination in the Broadway musical High Society.
Eventually, the fresh-faced brunette with big blue eyes transitioned into films, including the four Twilight Saga movies (2009-12). She has also put her theatrical roots to good use in musical films, including Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods (2014) and the 2016 animated film Trolls, including eight songs on the soundtrack.
Love Life also implies sex life, although Anna says she really hadn’t thought that through when she first signed on. “When we started filming, it dawned on me that in every single episode I was going to be doing a kissing scene or a sex scene with someone brand new,” she says, rolling her eyes. “It was definitely weird to know that we were going to meet and within a week we were going to be in bed pretending to have sex!”
That doesn’t mean, however, she’ll be going the full Kim Cattrall or Lena Dunham on the show. “My personal feelings on nudity – that I’m not really interested in nudity for me – stayed the same. I’ve never had a problem with simulated sex scenes – that feels like it’s about the character, whereas I only get one body, so nudity is more about me.”
Anna’s on a roll with this new screen persona, recently playing a woman who falls for a talking sex doll in the quirky, bite-sized series Dummy, available on the Quibi streaming platform.
“That gave me a new appreciation for people who are owners of sex dolls because it turns out that a sex doll is really heavy lifting, so there’s a certain level of commitment,” she says in typically deadpan manner.
“I have no judgment and I seriously tip my cap to those people,” she adds, grinning. “But the creator and director of Dummy, Tricia Brock, also directed an episode of Love Life where Darby uses a sex toy and I said, ‘Tricia, do you just like to have me doing something gross every time we work together?’ ”
As video chats become more the norm, stars are often sharing intimate glimpses into their homes. Not Anna, who is sitting in front of a blank white wall looking surprisingly glammed up thanks to a good blow-dry, immaculate make-up and a pretty floral dress.
“I could say I’ve been exercising every day and cooking,” she says, “but there’s definitely been days where I feel helpless because there’s something really terrible happening out there and I’m powerless to change it.”
For now, she’s happy to use Zoom to keep her loved ones close. “Twice a week I do family movie nights – my parents are in Maine and my brother is in New York – and we pick a movie like Robert Redford’s The Natural or The Princess Bride and all press play at the same time. We’re all texting each other during the movie, which normally would be a no-no, but under these circumstances it’s really sweet.”
That also applies to many of her co-stars. “In the last couple of weeks, I was on a Zoom call with some of the girls from Pitch Perfect [including Rebel Wilson and Anna Camp] and we were talking about when you get in fights with friends, how it’s the worst.
“I said, ‘If you just text me first to warn me you’re mad before you call, that would be great.’ And those girls were like, ‘What? We’re not going to get into a fight!’ I met them when we were around 25 and now we’re talking about being friends until we’re 80.”
It’s not surprising then, that Anna embraced the episode of Love Life devoted to a potential breakup with Darby’s best friend, Sara (Zoe Chao), instead of a beau. “Sometimes your girlfriends are the great loves of your life and they affect you so much,” she says. “I’m just grateful to have those kinds of relationships, too.”

Taehyung D3 & Namjoon watching over him:')
"that’s your last one, then i’m cutting you off," namjoon warned taehyung, who had just returned from buying yet another dessert. 
taehyung smiled innocently and bit into the cheesecake, his sweet tooth and love for food winning him over.
namjoon had taken him out on a date to an art museum and promised to treat taehyung to the recently opened bakery nearby. all in all, the date had been great so far and perfect for cheering up taehyung.
he had had a hard week, having barely made any sales at what was supposed to be his biggest art exhibit yet. his parents had been nothing but negative as a result, harping onto the fact that this wasn’t a “real” job and that taehyung should have gotten a degree in something useful, something that would bring him in reliable money.
he was used to it at this point; they had been disapproving all through college and continued to be now. if it wasn’t for namjoon’s constant support and love, taehyung would have given in by now.
namjoon knew taehyung well and knew he needed some cheering up and inspiration; the art museum turned out to be perfect for that. the promise of desserts at the end was even better.
namjoon hadn’t expected taehyung to eat as much as he did, however. some crepes and two cheesecakes later, namjoon was starting to get worried for the poor boy’s tummy.
now he was on his third plate of cheesecake; it was very rich and not easy on the stomach. namjoon had a feeling taehyung’s stomach, while capable of taking on a lot of food, would get upset from how rich the food was.
he didn’t have the heart to stop him, at the same time. taehyung looked too happy, leaning against namjoon with his cheeks puffed out with food.
taehyung finished the cheesecake, a satisfied smile on his face as he put the fork down. he hummed, his stomach full and bloated, making him lean back against the chair and settle a hand on top of it. 
he was admitedly already on the chubbier side, his tummy getting even more puffier and softer with food. 
namjoon thought taehyung looked adorable with soft cheeks and a full tummy, however.
they headed back to their apartment, taehyung clinging onto namjoon happily and namjoon’s cheeks turning pink like they always did whenever his boyfriend got clingy. 
taehyung didn’t regret the amount of desserts he consumed. in fact, his belly seemed fine with it for a while.
it was only after they had put on a movie, cuddled up on their couch with yeontan sleeping nearby, that taehyung’s belly began to put up a fight.
he felt his stomach grumble in a way that had him frowning and shifting a bit in namjoon’s lap. the gurgles only increased and along with it came a dull ache, the kind of ache like when he ate all the sweets at his grandma’s house and ended up puking during the family dinner.
he sighed quietly, snuggling closer to namjoon. physical contact was a must for belly aches.
he couldn’t hold back the small burps that rose in his chest, a side effect of what was turning out to be a bad case of indigestion it seemed. he could feel his stomach churning everything around and gradually becoming more upset.
it was after a particularly loud belch that namjoon spoke up.
“did all the desserts finally catch up to you?” he teased.
taehyung pouted. “hyung, my tummy really hurts.” he knew he was being whiny but his stomach really did feel gross and he wanted attention.
namjoon easily gave in, hands coming up to settle on taehyung’s stomach. it was very full with little give, yet there was still a layer of softness to it. it made namjoon unintentionally coo, hands working little circles into it.
“my poor baby. you can’t have so many treats, it only makes your tummy upset at you.”
taehyung whined. “i had my heart set on those desserts. there’s nothing my tummy could do about it.”
namjoon rolled his eyes fondly, pressing a kiss to taehyung’s neck. “ah, so cute.”
“that’s right, i’m adorable. keep rubbing my tummy.”
namjoon pressed a trail of kisses along taehyung’s neck, giggling in between. even if taehyung got whiny about it, namjoon was always willing to take care of him.
taehyung was namjoon’s baby, after all.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a Bad Experience
This is going to be an opinion piece, obviously. In other disclaimers? This has nothing to do with interest rates, islands per console, or what most other negative reviews are about. It has everything to do with how hollow, tedious, and frustrating an experience it is which has been padded out and riddled with operant conditioning chamber techniques to make it addictive to those who're very susceptible to that.
Let's start off with a few words: New Leaf's megaphone.
One of the things I first noticed in New Horizons is how tiresome it was to talk to my villagers. I hadn't loathed this so much in New Leaf so what was going on? Well, first of all, everyone had a smart phone but no one uses this to call one another? That's patently ridiculous. The reason why is because it's preferable that you have to hunt down your villagers, there's a lot in New Horizons meant to serve as a distraction from just how empty and threadbare the experience is.
What's worse is that the villagers in New Horizons are far more clingy and they have no compunctions whatsoever about guilt tripping you if you go for a couple of days without talking to them. This isn't where I noticed how the operant conditioning chamber elements factored in, but it is where they started getting on my nerves. I don't like being manipulated into doing repetitive tasks. My mind doesn't respond well to that. The specific exclusion of the megaphone—or any feature similar to the megaphone—along with the increased neediness of the villagers is a neatly crafted manipulation. As I said, it's meant to distract you from how empty the overall experience is.
It didn't stop there. The crafting doesn't have a slider bar for crafting multiple items, it doesn't have a craft all button, it doesn't have a craft in bulk option either. Combine this with how tools tend to break often without any indication of what durability they're at, when they're going to break, or which actions affect durability the most and you've got yourself another operant conditioning chamber trick. It works to addict people. As I said, my mind takes it poorly. For whatever reason, autism doesn't respond positively to these manipulations.
Another factor that bothers me is that home islands have lower chances for catching critters, my explorations have shown that these chances are recalculated once a month and they're a little bit higher if you have someone visiting but overall they're much lower than, say, Nook islands. Which you have to grind Nook miles for. If you want to do well with gathering critters to complete your museum then I hope you like grinding Nook miles, I guess?? This, once again, is yet another distasteful operant conditioning chamber element added into the mix.
I've run comparisons with New Leaf and it had none of this. I mean, like I said, it had the megaphone as a quality of life improvement specifically to ensure that you could escape the tedium. New Leaf feels like a very different game developed by a very different group of people. There are so many elements of New Horizons that leave me feeling cold, it's a similar feeling I get from experiences like World of Warcraft. I don't like empty, shallow, hollow experiences which are padded out by these manipulations meant to get people to play longer by hacking their dopamine response.
New Horizons lacks the street, many of the buildings, villagers, play mechanics, furniture items, clothing items, and more versus New Leaf. I get why it's happened. They pushed for fidelity and found they didn't have the team size to hack it. If I were spearheading the project, I would've just kept the models from the 3DS title and touched them up with AI upscaling, I would've had artists have a gander at them to make sure they came out okay but I would've kept the fidelity around that ballpark. This would've allowed the developers to create new assets very, very expediently without worrying about meeting fidelity requirements.
I mean, it's Animal Crossing... Do you care about fidelity in Animal Crossing? I sure don't.
So what we've ended up with is a high fidelity, hollow, empty mess of a thing that has less overall content than most entries in the series and feels closer to the GameCube or N64 versions than any other. What they've done to have people not notice this vast emptiness is include manipulations which prey on dopamine mechanisms—it's an operant conditioning chamber. In case you're not familiar with that term, it's also been referred to as a "Skinner box," but I know that that isn't the preferred name in the psych community so I tend to use its actual name instead. If I do really need to say it that way, though? Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a Skinner box.
That's why it isn't a very good experience. It really isn't.
You'll notice I've abstained from using the word "game," here. I acknowledge that Animal Crossing has always been more of a toy than a game, it's never been very game-y, but at least in past entries it's been an enjoyable toy, a fun experience, and it hasn't needed to rely on operant conditioning chamber trickery to have its staying power.
New Horizons is a bad time. I'm with Jim Sterling on this.

Meet Toni Topaz! Some say she’s got a lot in common with Ross Gellar, but she doesn’t see it. Unfortunately for you, she is taken.
Name: Toni Topaz
Age: 26
Pronouns: She/Her
Sexuality: Bisexual
Occupation:  Part Time Art History Professor/Freelance Photographer
Character Traits
positive: intuitive, nurturing, loyal negative: insecure, moody, clingy
Helpful Hints
the ross wasn’t necessarily a nerd in high school - in fact, the ross just kind of blended into the background and that was the way they liked it. they just wanted to get the hell out of their small town and graduate and move to the city. their home life was a lonely one, being the younger sister of several siblings who always seemed to outshine her. she kept to her books and her photography, finding escape through words and her camera lens. she always loved learning and discovering new things and it didn’t take her long to become a teacher for the nyc public education system. she debated between art and history and ultimately settled on the best of both worlds - art history, teaching at a college.
the ross is a big history buff, especially of folklore and legends of towns. she shares this in common with the phoebe, even though her line of thinking always tends to favor the stories with actual proof and evidence. her favorite thing to do in her downtime is visit museums and study sculptures and paintings and try to figure out what life was like before she was even a blip in the universe. since she always felt overshadowed back home, she tries to know the most in her group of friends so she feels like she has a purpose with them. really though they love her for exactly who she is - no nonsense with a heart of gold and strict morals.
the ross has also just come out as gay to her group of friends. she’s still not entirely sure where she lies on the spectrum of sexuality but she knows she’s not attracted to just one gender. she was terrified to do so but should’ve known they’d be accepting of her. she’s getting back into the dating scene and coming to terms with who she really is, now that she doesn’t feel like she has to conform to society’s “norm”.
the ross is probably the most serious of the group but that also means she’s the most responsible. she’s used to being a caretaker for her family so she’s always trying to make sure everyone is happy and taken care of. she’s very maternal at heart and has a soft spot for the ones who aren’t heard often, leading her to participate in many volunteer causes and charities.
unknown to her friends, the ross has a past she’d rather forget. back home, she got involved with a rougher crowd of people who were sure she’d stay behind with them. she always had bigger dreams for herself though and took off as soon as she could, leaving behind many people in the dust... and not everybody was happy for her. she did questionable things and not so legal things with this crowd and she’s always worried it’s going to come back and bite her in the ass someday.
Headcanons
Toni is a cancer. While she doesn’t believe in them 100%, she thinks it’s fun to read them. Especially with Cheryl’s knowledge of “all that witchy stuff” as Toni describes it.
If you let Toni decide what to watch, chances are you’ll end up watching some documentary ranging anywhere from a famous artist’s life story to some obscure urban legend.
She spends extra time volunteering to tutor kids because she knows how rough it is to get overlooked. Toni ends up trying to do everything at once and puts a lot of her plate because she still feels like she has to go above and beyond just to be noticed.
Toni isn’t proud of her rough past. She loved the people she ran with like a family, but she couldn’t stay like that forever. God forbid anyone found out and confronted her about it, she’d claim it was a typical ‘overlooked child cry for attention’. Merely a phase she grew out of. Part of her worries that if she admits that crowd was once the most important people in her life, all the hard work she’s done to distance herself from them will be forgotten and she’ll lose the credibility and reputation she’s made for herself which could impact her job(s).
She’s also worried the group of friends she has now will think the Toni they know and love was practically fake because of the huge part of her life she hid. Losing both of those would be enough to spiral Toni into her old ways.
Toni loves stupid little fun facts that like never come up. She would absolutely crush quiz nights with all the random facts she knows.
Her love for photography first came from the way she’d always blend into the background. A photograph was proof. Something happened. She was there. The moment won’t always last but a photograph will. Even if for only a moment longer in the grand scheme of things, Toni could remember and be remembered. If all hell breaks loose and she loses her spot in the tight-knit group, she will always have her photos from happier days.
