inspired by a real-life event i was recently reminded of

Life can be so goddamn weird.

That’s Eddie’s opinion anyway.

Like, in 1986 he was a nonconformist metalhead wanted for murder. In 2013, nearly thirty years later, he’s actually kind of excited about a Disney princess movie release.

Again, weird.

The movie is Frozen – people have lost their effing minds over it, or so it seems – and the reason Eddie’s actually kind of excited about it is because he and Steve have three daughters and the last time Disney put out a princess movie, they’d all had a total blast going to see it in the movie theater.

Eddie has high hopes for this one (at a minimum he’s hoping it puts a stop to the endless loop of Tangled’s “I See the Light”, which isn’t a bad song at all, but even the best of songs become hard to hear after the ninety-ninth play).

About a week after the movie came out, he’s watching TV with his youngest daughter, Hazel, when the trailer for Frozen plays during a commercial break.

“You gearing up to go see Frozen, Hazy-Jay?” he asks her.

To which Hazel scrunches up her nose and responds, “No, that’s for babies.”

And Eddie could have died right there in the middle of the living room, because last time he checked Hazel was a baby still. She’s seven! In what world is seven too old to see a Disney movie?

“This is entirely your fault,” Eddie later tells Steve, “You’re the one who said they’re allowed to grow up or whatever.”

“They are,” Steve points out, “You know – she doesn’t actually think Frozen is for babies. It’s just because Moe’s on that whole Disney’s not cool anymore thing, and Hazel thinks she’s the coolest person on the planet, so…”

It’s true that Moe, who’s twelve now, has been on a kick of disavowing all of her little-kid interests ever since she started middle-school. Some of it Eddie hasn’t even minded (in his opinion the less Disney Channel he has to listen to, the better). What he won’t stand for is when it leeches onto her little sisters years before they’re supposed to start outgrowing that stuff.

“So it’s Moe’s fault,” Eddie finishes.

“You know that’s not what I said.”

#eddie drags everyone to the theater and moe puts on a whole show acting miserable about it #and then in 2019 moe sees frozen 2 and sobs the entire time #life is weird #steddie #liv’s steddie dads verse #steddie dads #steve harrington #eddie munson

We're back with another soulmate AU cause I'm a sucker for them.

Steve had never known a time when the names of his soulmates weren't on his wrists. One platonic, one romantic. Some people were born with two romantic although rare, some born with two platonic, some with just one and some with none.

Steve couldn't wait to meet his soulmates, as a kid he told his mother that his soulmate was going to be the prettiest girl in the world and that his best friend would be the coolest guy ever.

He knew his parents weren't soulmates, his mother's soulmate had died when she was young and his father didn't have anything in his wrists. It didn't matter to Steve though, they weren't around much now that he was older.

He waited all through high school to meet his soulmates, Tommy and Carol had met each other in middle school and he wanted what they had. As the years went on, his parents grew distant, his world became more about popularity, he slowly forgot about his names. He went through girls with the hopes of filling the void inside of him.

It wasn't until one Nancy Wheeler didn't fall for his charms preferring to wait to meet her soulmate did it feel like a knock to the head. He found a friend in Nancy a friendship he didn't even regret once he was pulled in by proxy to a whole other world under their town. He held Nancy as she cried losing her platonic soulmate Barb and met her romantic soulmate Jonathan.

He felt more like himself now that he was hanging around friends that cared about each other rather than their images. He adopted a gaggle of children who also needed protecting from the monsters on their doorstep and started thinking about soulmates again.

Nancy helped him graduate, barely. He didn't want to leave Hawkins without the kids or Nancy and Jonathan and so he started working at Scoops Ahoy. Where he met his soulmate, finally. Robin Buckley was funny and loud and smart and beautiful. Steve didn't want to rush into anything in case he was wrong and by the time he had gotten up the courage to show her his tattoo there were Russians and blood, so much blood.

High on Russian drugs he confessed to her, told her about how she was everything he'd dreamt of in a soulmate when he was little. How she was funny and amazing and that he loved her. He hadn't expected Robin to start crying, words tumbling out how she's not what Steve wants, not what Steve deserves in a soulmate, that she can never love him the way he wants. That day Steve discovers who his platonic soulmate is. From that day they're inseperable.

Steve doesn't know how he went through life without Robin once she was in it. She got on great with all his friends, called him out on his bullshit, comforted him through nightmares and was always there for him. She taught him that it was ok to like boys and girls and that his romantic soulmate will love him despite his King Steve days because she loves him too.

After already having one soulmate in danger from the Upside Down he never dreamt that the first time he'd hear someone say his other soulmates name it would be attached with "murder". Slammed up against the walls of the boathouse, Steve didn't think he'd ever seen anyone as beautiful as Eddie.

"Soulmates huh?"

"Yeah, sorry."

"Well, I know Dustin's one is definitely platonic, since he's a kid. Wonder what ours is?"

Steve wanted to tell him that he wanted everything with Eddie, but he knew his past, and knew that Eddie knew too. So he let himself hope, let himself laugh with Eddie, let himself be close. Nothing had been harder than leaving Eddie and Dustin there as distractions but he had a job to do.

As he'd held bloody bandages desperately to Eddie's wounds and begged him to stay awake, he wished he'd told Eddie everything he'd been thinking, how he was everything Steve had wanted and more.

"Please, Eddie! Stay awake, just hold on a little longer!"

"I think I figured us out, sweetheart."

And those were the last words Steve heard from his soulmate before Eddie had gone limp in his arms.

Steve held on hope for weeks beside Eddie's hospital bed. He had traced Eddie's name on his wrist over and over, memorising it. The tattoo had stayed dark and clear, Eddie was still there, he was still alive next to Steve.

Steve could've kissed Eddie as soon as he saw his eyes blink open but didn't want to injure him further.

"I figured us out too, Eds."

Little Steve had been right, his best friend was the coolest person he knew, and his soulmate was the most beautiful person he'd ever known.

Yoo hoo !! I’d like to request Butters, Craig, Wendy, and/or Tweek with a reader who is their older sibling. The reader is in their late teens & has the sarcastic older sibling thing going on, like the same vibes as Rodrick Heffley, Kat Stratford, or Daria. Thank you ^^

butters, craig, wendy, and tweek with a stereotypical older sibling reader

A/N: i'm the youngest out of 4 and my brother was very rodrick coded so this is based off that also i love this gif

butters stotch

honestly being raised by the same parents it's a miracle you didn't turn out exactly like him LMFAO

he is constantly getting noogies from you and whenever you high-five or pat his back you do it way too hard and he goes "owie" and then giggles. or cries idk

if you drive him around or pick him up from school he's always asking if you can stop at mcdonald's and gets all sheepish when you deadpan at him

looooves piggy back rides. put him on your shoulders or back and like pretend you're an airplane and he loves it. and then like throw him onto the bed and he gets all giddy and tells you to do it again

he's always knocking on your door and asking you to play or draw with him. he gets sad if you ignore him or tell him to go away

always dragging you into his games!!!!! like you don't want to but he does puppy eyes to get u to roleplay as professor chaos' enemy (or sidekick!) and if he makes you play with the rest of the kids too they all cry super hard when you destroy them😭😭(esp cartman)

he would forever think ur awesome if you got payback on cartman for him. like idk beat eric up or threaten him and butters thinks you're the coolest person in the world

craig tucker

lots of middle fingers. lots of them

when he flips you off you tug his middle finger up and slam it under his nose (like the 'you have something on your shirt' thing but with his middle finger LOL) and he gets all pissy after

you had to put a 'fuck off' sign on your door to get him to stop annoying you whenever he's bored. you two are always competing for your parents to take your side

you love to tease him about tweek. like you twirl your hair and giggle and kick your feet on his bed talking about how he's finally getting bitches while he's trying to do homework

you keep hiding his hats but somehow he always has another. he's like charlie brown but with blue chullo hats

lots of punching. you punch his arm all the time or swat his head and at first he retaliates but then you hit him even harder and he stops (albeit angrily)

trolls you all the time by messing up your room and fucking idk. he seems like the type of dude to set up a treasure hunt to find like your phone he hid or something LOL he sets up riddles and everything

you beat him up for it

calls you emo when you go through a phase and bullies you for it. you call him a homo and he shuts up

wendy testaburger

you're always ruffling her hair and flicking her forehead. like just in normal conversation it's a habit to flick her head or nose to emphasize a point

she definitely comes to you a lot about her problems, like socially and stuff. always ranting to you about stan in your bed and you're just praying that she shuts the fuck up

you have helped her with a lot of her issues though!!!!! like it's reluctant but you give her a lot of good advice about boys and friendships. even if you gag whenever she brings up her boyfriend

i imagine you listening to like. hard rock or metal when you're going through an edgy phase and wendy either makes fun of you for it or comes into your room and starts headbanging with you. probably both

always wants you to play games and do stuff with her. like she gets barbie and the twelve dancing princesses and is scratching and begging at your door for you to try it with her

and she LOVES just dance. you're like flopped on the couch out of breath because you're old as shit and she's like happily dancing away without breaking a sweat

if you're a girl, she's always making you sleep in her room and do skincare and girl stuff. she calls it 'girls night'. if you aren't a girl she still does it but she doesn't call it that LOL. makes fun of you if you don't want to do it because it's 'for girls'

tweek tweak

if you hit him he hits you back. hit him harder he hits you harder. he gets his ass beat but he is determined not to go down without a fight!!!!

when you work the same shift at tweek bros you're constantly slacking off and blackmailing him into doing all the work and not telling ur parents LMFAO. it annoys him so much

you spook him with like scary stories and stuff because you know he freaks out over it. and you regret it when he comes into your room at 2 am with a blanket asking to sleep in your bed tonight

he tells all his friends how you 'torture and bully him' and how much he hates your guts. but he really can't deny that he appreciates you when you're helping him with a panic attack

asks you how to be cool. you tell him you were just born that way and that he'd never be as cool and awesome as you are. he got sad

he isn't the type of sibling to tattle to your parents, but he will if he's trying to blackmail you or get you to do something for him. and he gets all smug about it too

tease him about craig and he gets super defensive. you pick him up by his collar like a kitten and he flails around all angry. it's hilarious but he forever holds u to a grudge for it

I love that Bianca is Nevermo're's principal now; it seems to suit her, honestly, lol. What's her relationship with Vega like, on a personal and "professional" level? As the kid of two parents who taught at her combined elementary/middle school AND high school, it can be a weird thing to toe that line when you have to interact with them in teacher mode, ha.

1. It's perfect ain't it?? I dont see a lot of people make material out of the fact that Bianca was also set to be Wednesday's academic rival, and therefore a smartie. She felt like a deliberate parallel to Weems anyway.

One of the biggest things about Bianca is the fact that she thought of Nevermore as her home. It was the place she was able to turn to after running away from her messed up mom. She'd have more than enough love for the school to want to come back and run it.

2. Bianca isn't really that close to Wednesday and Enid. Enid sees her from time to time because of Yoko and Divina, and although Wednesday and Bianca got closer after the whole thing with Crackstone, they aren't exactly friends, so they never bothered to actually reconnect after graduating. With that being said, Vega never really got to meet Bianca before attending Nevermore. Bianca probably met Vega once as a baby but that's it, so it isn't exactly awkward in a way that they're trying to balance between two dynamics, because Vega becoming a Nevermore student was the beginning of them getting to know each other.

I have this headcanon that after the thing with Crackstone Wednesday, Enid, Eugene, and Bianca get hailed as heroes and legends for future generations of Nevermore students. Wednesday and Enid are Vega's moms, so although she admires them for that, it's a muted kinda thing bcuz she's also just their moms. Eugene was around when Vega grew up because he and Wednesday remained close, so Eugene is ultimately still Uncle Eugene for her.

Since she never met Bianca, however, her view of her is idealized. Bianca is smart, saved her mother AND was better than her at fencing. Bianca thinks Vega is out to make her time as principal hell like Wednesday did with Weems because of all the shenanigans Vega gets up to, but Vega actually thinks Principal Barclay is one of the coolest people in the world. So whenever she gets caught getting in trouble and gets sent to the principal's office, she feels a lot more sheepish when being reprimanded by Bianca than if it were Wednesday and Enid scolding her.

omg please tell me ur thoughts abt big sister lottie 🥹 can’t stop thinking abt her

this was so cute to do :( kind of all over the place but!!!!!!!!!

she's like 5 years older than you and was the most excited child ever to hear that she was gonna get a new sibling ^_^

talking to your mom's belly and saying how she cant wait to meet you :(((( cried for hours after your mom said you couldn't come home right away and demanded she sleep in the nurseries with you 😭

slight angst but thinking of her watching you in the bassinet while ur moms 'busy' downstairs and she's shaking the rattle at you to get u to stop crying :(

OHH!!!!!! lottie being elementary school friends with the rest of the yjs and whenever they'd sleepover she'd LOVE showing her baby sibling off ☹️☹️☹️ nat messing with you and trying to get you to say "poop" or the worst bad word ever... "frick."

timeskip because i cant think of anything else rn

the older you get, the less you see of your parents

by the time ur like 10, lottie's practically your mom now. she doesnt want you to be sad so she always tells you that "mom and dad are just busy building you the coolest house ever!!!! with robot maids and a slide and all you can eat pizza!!!"

making you breakfast for school :3 literally whatever you ask for, she'll make. she learned how to cook just for you. and how to drive. usually the butlers would take you, but you said you hate it and miss when mom would do it, so she learned like a year early so she could drive you :(

big sister lottie picking you up from elementary and ur so intimated by her cool friends that you barely remember. (jackie is the aunt that's ALWAYSSS like "remember me, kid? i made you eat sand that one time." (u were like 4))

oh she'd for sure play roblox, club penguin, msp with you whenever you want...buys you all the robux in the world too like ur avatar is PIMPED out

bullies kids with you and rps in brookhaven

going to ur soccer games when you were younger :((((((((((((((((( u were always sad mom and dad werent there but lottie's there cheering you on and taking you out for ice cream after

idkkkk she'd just be the best sister everrrr :( always there for you to listen or talk to and when ur parents try to get back in ur life for some reason, she's there to protect you and yell at them for never being there for you. they weren't even at ur middle school graduation and she had to skip class to take you

ashlyn banner head canons 🎧🩰🥕

I feel like she was made fun of in middle school because she always wore her headphones and never really talked to anyone, and some kids called her emo. But on parent-teacher conference day or when her parents came to pick her up from school her classmates stopped making fun of her because her parents were looking super fine scary.

As a kid, during summer, she would attend flag football summer camps or dance camps. The flag football camps were mostly boys with only like two or three girls (who probably just went there to get the guys' attention). Ash most likely got all their flags and got so many interceptions. Her parents were probably the most interactive when she was playing, with her mom screaming and jumping up and down and yelling obscenities at the other parents on the other team, and her dad would just run up to her when the game was over and mess up her hair and give all the other boys/kids Gatorade as a 'good job' or something. he'd also probably parade Ash on his shoulders as they celebrated.

During dance recitals Ash would've been clumsier as a kid. She was called 'lanky' instead of 'skinny' or 'graceful' but soon accepted her body and built muscles as she got older. If she fell down during practice she'd hold back the tears and wouldn't cry, but by the age of twelve or thirteen she'd just turn off her feelings.

Her first day of middle school was normal, but the teachers spoke to her in slow tones as if she was deaf, not sensitive to hearing. She'd hate it, but never said anything. But then this one teacher would always speak normally to her and would always include her in the class even though she didn't want to participate much.

She probably didn't read books at all unless she absolutely had to, but her favorite book was either the Hunger Games or The Fault in Our Stars. Those were probably the only books she ever read.

She had a Paramore phase in sixth-seventh grade. By eighth grade she was 'ok this is fine' and wasn't as obsessed anymore, but still listented to them.

Her hair grows SUPER FAST but the first time she cut it she was BAWLING. She loved that hair. When the hairdresser cut it it was up to the middle of her neck. Since it was wavy it's get super messy/frizzy since she didn't have layered hair (yet). She never obsessed too much over her hair but she would try so much to fix it but hated it, especially since it stuck up in weird places, mainly the back. When it grew down to her back, the girls in school would call her Merida because of the hair texture/color, but the boys thought it made her look like a viking, mostly when she wore two braids. Her parents vowed they won't ever cut her hair again. When she was older, for a dance or something she tried curling her hair but ended up taking to long so just put it up into a braid but it looked FABULOUS.

She didn't have tons of possessions when she was younger, but she had a German Shepherd and Rottweiler dog stuffed animals that she'd set in the middle of her pillows before she went to school, making they were safe. As a baby she'd carry them around everywhere and anywhere she went.

Her room has a bunch of Joker/Paramore/Queen/Maneskin posters, but she took most of them down before high school. She hung up a Joker one in her closet, though.

She had a secrer passion for card/betting games though. Her dad taught her how to play poker, and when she taught some of the kids at her school one day, they thought she was the coolest person ever because poker was 'an adult game.' She'd play Blackjack with her parents but only bet with assorted Jelly Beans (her favorite were the orange ones) while they bet with actual money, so when she won two hundred and seventy six dollars one day she was so proud.

FL was not the only one swooning here.

I do love how she knows, even before he begins to take the glasses guy apart, both on technical merits and by finding and broadcasting the rigging video, that he went somewhere and is here now for her. And the thing is, he does all of this without knowing or caring why she hates the glasses guy. it's sufficient to him she hates the man. AAAA! She trusts him boundlessly but the thing is, he keeps earning that trust.

This was literally the coolest fucking thing ever!

Gao's sick face as Li Xun shows how cool and smart he is, getting the head organizer go come work for me kid and ZY heart pitter patter and the students cheer him on is feeding me better than the most nutricious meal. Gao will not take risks or go outside the rules by making his own and honestly, that's totally fine, but what's not fine is his unwillingness to do so but his jealousy that Li Xun will. If you won't even bother trying, what right do you have to be envious of those that do and succeed.

Awww, he really did all of that, making an enemy and putting in crazy efforts (as he reasonably points out, he's been working himself to the bone, he can't crack the glasses' guy stuff in a minute like he seemed to, he had to prep) to make her smile. They are so gloriously young.

I caaaan't! OMG! And that reference to innocent and fragile heart just killed me because that is so what he set out to protect, and he did this one time but as @silviakundera pointed out, we've seen the prologue and we know he won't be able to keep doing that and is instead going to break it badly. But also, it strikes me that from the bits about his time in middle/high school, he wanted to protect and care for his fam, it did not work out and in some ways, this is a second chance for him to protect and take care of a loved one.

Had some thoughts today...about their relationship...

Mostly how Chai's envy towards Vanilla gradually culminates into their falling out.

Like, they both have a lot of similarities and differences that contribute to Chai deciding to ghost Vani, both being dudes struggling with inferiority complexes in different ways. Chai handles his by gassing himself up to be the coolest dude ever because no one can call you a loser if you don't act like one, right? And his slacker attitude going hand in hand with his fear of rejection. If you don't try and put your best into stuff or do anything, it won't sting as much if someone tells you you sucked or rejects you, right?

For Vanilla, he copes with these feelings of inferiority by working his ass off to prove himself, masking his autistic behaviors and being as by-the-book as much as possible. Sure, he isn't always 100% compliant, I mean, he's lying to his parents about his major so that he can do what he actually wants to do, but for the most part, he's the type of guy who thinks doing things like they're instructed to be done will reward him. This results in all of his anxiety and stress in school. He basically overexerts himself where Chai does not.

I've boiled down three things that Chai's envious of and it's Vanilla's friend group in college, school stuff, and finally, the band that came to talk to their class.

1: The Friends...

At the start of the game, Chai tells Peppermint he's better off by himself and in general you get this air that Chai is a loner. (Using Lonely Boy as the opening song of the game is also uh...y'know, a huge indicator.) A lot of the fan base (me included) headcanon that Chai had a really hard time making friends growing up. He was the weird kid, and some (if not most) of the teasing also came from a place of ableism. I know a lot of us also headcanon Chai to have ADHD and that paired with him not being able to fully use his right arm gave bullies a lot of material. I remember someone (edit: FOUND THEIR POST, psychangels said this and it's a really good post btw) mentioning Chai dealing with pity/fake friends too and I can definitely see that and how it contributes to him being cautious of new "friends." Vanilla was pretty lucky to even get as close to Chai as he did. The shared love of music and having classes together were probably the main reasons their friendship worked for as long as it did (not very long, but not very short). Well, Chai wasn't Vanilla's only friend, even if it seemed like it at times with how often Vanilla wanted to be around him. He has a group of gothic pals who care about him a lot, most of them being people he met in middle school that he was happy to be able to go to high school and now uni with. Chai tends to just observe them from a distance because Vanilla's friends don't really like him very much over some of his crappy behavior towards Vani, and he sees how close and happy they are. Makes him wish he had that, but he tries his best to ignore it since years of bullying have made it really uncomfortable for him to accept genuine connection or kindness. It's already tough when Vanilla is so nice to him, a friend group full of that? Makes him nervous to even think about it. Though Vani and his friends aren't the type to fake anything, he's still weary.

2: School...

So, yeah, Chai isn't getting the best grades whereas Vanilla is getting straight A's. Again, Vanilla works his little ass off to get the grades his parents want him to have and Chai doesn't put that much effort into his work. To him, half-assing it also diminishes the sting of rejection if his professors don't like any of his genuine work, so getting Cs and Ds are good enough. Even with music focused classes Chai tends to take it easy. I can see him being the kind of guy to ask why they need to study the other stuff that has nothing to do with how to make music? Still, his slacker persona tends to aggravate a lot of his professors and they tend to exhibit some pretty nasty behavior towards Chai for it. Since Vanilla is hardworking and contributes to class discussions a lot, they're a lot more generous to him and have definitely cracked jokes about Vanilla's work vs Chai's. Vanilla would just nervously laugh while Chai rolled his eyes. God, actually, I don't doubt professors would make mean jokes often about those two. Probably begging Vanilla not to let Chai influence him. Vanilla didn't exactly do much about those jokes except wave/nervously laugh them off. He should have stood up to them and told them to stop making fun of Chai but, well, that kind of thing doesn't come easy to him (looks at him lying to his parents instead of putting his foot down with them about himself and his life and also how they would aaalways compare him and his older brother, which, yeah it bothered Vanilla to have their professors do the EXACT same thing with him and Chai, but...again, not REALLY great about confrontation during this time). Yeah, the way professors treat Vanilla compared to how they treat Chai also made Chai envious of Vani. Especially when it was something Vanilla could have helped to some degree if he told these people to shut up, but it's not like Chai expected him to stand up for him, either. Why would he? Why would anyone?

3: Last, the visit from the band...

Okay so, I've gone to community and uni, and it's not unheard of for a professor to have people agree to come in and talk to their students about stuff regarding the subjects they're studying. I've had professors who know some pretty neat people invite them to talk to us, so I imagine one of Chai and Vanilla's professors have done the same. I've written this scenario out before, but to TL:DR it, a band that actually went to their university and met in their classes agreed to come on down and talk to them all about the industry and how they do their thing. They went the full mile and brought their instruments and shared a short excerpt of a song with them, too. The band ended up being a band both Chai and Vanilla liked as well, so it was a pretty sick class that day! Vanilla gushes to Chai about how rad and inspiring it was and Chai offhandedly tells him he should share that new song he wrote with them and see what they think, not thinking Vanilla would actually go and do that, despite how he always considers Chai's suggestions. The band ends up really liking it and asking Vanilla if they could play a bit of it to hear it out loud, which makes him nearly faint (it's a good thing most of the class had left by then and it was just him, Chai, their professor, and the band, who was just about to put their stuff away to go). Chai's happy for Vanilla, but then he thinks back to the time he met his favorite band and how they received him...blowing him off completely (took some inspo from kennyswurvegurl's post here for the visual 'cause, damn, it hit hard). It led Chai into a bit of a spiral afterwards, wondering if maybe he really didn't have a future in all of this because of the cruelty he's faced from so many people. Seeing Vanilla flourish was every bit as painful as it was great. Sure, he tried to fall back into his cocky behavior to not think about it so much, but it was getting tougher with each snarky remark from a professor, each glare from Vani's friend group, and Vani himself being so hyped around him, the fake him.

It all just gets worse when Vanilla runs by the idea of starting a band together after Uni. In Vanilla's mind, it was a great way for them to fulfill their respective dreams of being rock stars and filling in for each other on the roles they couldn't do (Vanilla wants to sing but can't because of his monotone voice and Chai can't play guitar because of his arm.Sso in Vani's head, them doing each thing would be fine, right?). Chai just gets upset at the idea, feeling like he's being pitied all over again and that he's only going to achieve his dream by bumming off of Mr. straight A's? Nah. He rejects the offer, and after a week he drops out of college. It...super sucks for Vanilla because he thought the world of Chai. Sure, his friends get him to take off the damn rose tinted glasses after they tell him Chai wasn't really that great of a friend, but he still feels awful about Chai ghosting him and his own faults in their friendship.

One thing that keeps getting me about the moment with Hunter comforting Gus in Labyrinth Runners is like. The show has made it clear that Gus has a history of being taken advantage of and lied to by older kids specifically, by virtue of having skipped enough grades that even his school peers and close friends are a couple years older than him. And with Hunter on the older end of the show’s teen characters at 16 and Gus being one of the youngest, at 12, there’s a pretty significant gap between them. 4 years is a huge difference at that point in life. Gus is middle school-aged while Hunter is like a high school junior.

Which. Listen. I know when I was 12, someone Hunter’s age showing me any kind of positive attention was basically the coolest thing in the world, and Gus has clearly been looking for that exact kind of attention and mostly getting burned for it. And obviously it’s happened with people somewhat closer to his age too, but the flashback at the beginning that specifically focused on him falling for fake gestures of friendship from a much older teenager really makes the scene with him and Hunter towards the end of the episode hit extra hard. The echoed promise that he wouldn’t mess with him, the real, genuine heart to heart about having been deceived by Belos that makes it clear gullibility isn’t some flaw unique to Gus -- it’s putting them both on the same level in a way that Gus hasn’t always (or even usually) gotten from kids older than him, and even though I don’t think Hunter fully understood how important that would be to Gus, it absolutely addressed and soothed some of the huge insecurities he has about being surrounded by classmates way older than him.

Anyways I have many feelings about their developing friendship and the pretty significant gap in age between them is a big part of it; the idea that Gus finally gets to have that real, mutual friendship with someone Hunter’s age that he’s clearly been craving for a while and that Hunter, who is still working through so much, is still able to offer real, important validation to someone who needs it is just so good. They have a lot to bond over and a lot in common and I loved every minute of their screentime together this episode so much

JFK [Clone High] headcanons

Definitely got really excited about the tooth fairy, like it was the coolest shit ever to him

Uses the term 'baby' in a genuinely affectionate manner, not the typical jock way, y'know?? Like, I feel like a lot of people forget it's literally what his Dad calls him

HISTORY BUFF [Like the real JFK, you guys]

His shirt is actually made of the softest, most comfortable material known to man, I just know it is

Probably gives the CRAZIEST hugs, man, like, he's NOT messing about, they're GOOD hugs

Totally sits down and watches the news with his dads during dinner, THAT'S the type of family they are

Wally packed his school lunch in elementary and still tried to in middle and high school but JFK asked him to stop because it was embarrassing [he IMMEDIATELY felt bad]

NUMBER ONE believer of ladies first and not hitting girls, say what you will, I just know he upholds those type of values

Wally DEFINITELY coddled him when he was younger and still tries to sometimes

Has definitely done stereotypically girly things with his flings before after, like, aftercare. Can totally see him gossiping and painting a girls nails

JFK was a dinosaur kids. His favourite was and STILL is the T-rex. I mean, just LOOK at him

Most outspoken mother fucker ever, like, he won't let things boil over. HE WILL FEEL HIS FEELINGS

Carl used to play catch with him and taught him how to properly throw and catch

BRO'S A BULBER CRIER, I JUST KNOW HE MAKES SOME WEIRD NOISES WHEN HE CRYS

bartolomeo in any of your aus

(I want to see him simp for the straw hats)

Bartolomeo in All my aus - and quickly before I regret it

Edit: More

Edit: Even More

Son of the Fog AU - everything's the same except Barto heard rumors abt a haunted skeleton pirate and tried to find him to join his crew. He didn't, but he starts frothing at the mouth when he finds out that Premium Luffy Lore and Brook is his second favorite strawhat

Teach him a Lesson AU - In Loguetown Barto still gets his reverence for Luffy because Luffy acted the same when put in the same situation, but he also noticed how amused Luffy's captain looked, and so becomes a Luffy And No One Else stan

Yoinked AU - Barto never really meets Luffy, since Luffy doesn't have the freedom to be a pirate

Marine Dads AU (just dog dad tho) - Barto hears abt Luffy a lot later, post-marineford, but is very inspired by his story and once he finally meets him he starts crying and Luffy has no idea what to do because Barto hasn't even introduced himself yet

One Piece/Soul Eater crossover - Barto is one of Franky's peers and was a super tough bad boi but then Luffy and Usopp (accidentally) saved him from a witch that had magnetism powers that Barto was weak against in pitchfork-form and human-full-of-piercings form. Barto founded the Luffy cult and co-founded the Usopp cult, and joined in marineford-adjacent because he would follow Luffy and Usopp to the ends of the earth

Selkie Usopp AU - Bartolomeo is very passionate abt selkie and fishman rights, and somehow knows more abt selkies than Usopp and Buggy put together (he needed to know abt Luffy-senpai's beloved's culture lest he offend one of The Strawhats)

Myths & Gods AU - Barto was rejecting gods for his whole life when he got stabbed, his arms broken, kidnapped and thrown into a field to die after a gang fight. He couldn't exactly figure out where the hell he was, only that the place was full of flowers (that were god flowers but he didn't know that). He ended up chewing on a sunflower because the seeds are edible maybe and Luffy appeared like 'Hah! First time In a while I've seen someone do that' and then brought everyone over to see the hobo sleeping in their flowers, and tell Sanji to feed him. Barto will now tell everyone that asks that the gods are awesome and they saved him and he's still a pirate but hes borderline door-to-door Mormon because he just won't stop talking abt how the gods helped him in his lowest hour

One Piece/Fruit's Basket Crossover Au - Barto was a delinquent kid (and still kinda is) that, in middle school, ended up in a gang fight with high schoolers. He and his little gang was losing miserably but then they saw a crying "girl"(Barto wasn't sure at the time) with a broken nose that pointed at the towering highschoolers and Luffy, Zoro and Sanji all came out, Zoro with a baby strapped to his back, and they all proceeded to beat the shit out of those highschoolers. That cemented them as the coolest people Barto knows, but then Luffy went up to him and said he had really cool hair and he looked like Brook. Barto had no idea what that meant but it started his massive fanboy crush as well as his entire gang's matching massive fanboy crushes

Wing AU - pretty much same as canon except Barto's got some wings with a lot of dye in them, so much it's hard to tell what kind of wings they are. He can't control his wings flapping when he's excited and he's always tripping around Luffy because he keeps accidentally flying a centimeter and then falling

Roger's Ghost AU - Bartolomeo occasionally thinks abt killing himself so he can be part of Luffy's ghost posse but he never does, he also does a lot more research into the origins of the strawhat because he doesn't want Luffy to be cursed (he knows about the curse even if none of the crew does, it was by accident)

Sun's Personality AU - Bartolomeo is in denial that Luffy isn't entirely Him, tries his best not to wonder if it was Luffy that inspired him or Nika. He had a bit of a strained relationship with his devilfruit at first but learning that Strawhats liked cohabitation with their devilfruit meant Barto put some effort into actually knowing his devil, and they ended up having more in common even if his devil is very straight-laced and traditional while Barto is Barto

Halloween au - Bartolomeo is a cockatrice that is absolutely obsessed with Luffy and draws fanart that borders on furry art of him All The Time and if anyone says anything derogatory about any of the crew he turns them into stone. He has dog ears that he wears in private

#one piece #crossover #soul eater #usolu #selkie usopp au #marine dads au #lusopp #yoinked au #Son of the Fog au #Teach him a Lesson AU #Myths & Gods AU #Using this as a masterpost now #fruit's basket #wing au #Roger's Ghost au #sun's personality au #halloween au

LGBT Class 1A Headcanons because season 6 is making me sad

Izuku is bisexual. He's known this about himself for a long time, and he probably came out when he was still in middle school. He definitely had all sorts of hero crushes when he was younger, and he's VERY easily flustered by pretty people. He almost definitely had a crush on Hawks.

Ochako is also bisexual, but it's something she didn't figure out until recently because she doesn't have a lot of experience with dating or even crushes. Like Izuku, she for sure had her hero crushes, but it wasn't something she put a whole lot of thought into.

Iida is straight, but almost aggressively supportive of his friends. Iida is also flustered very easily, and he is very attracted to women who are confident, flirty, and capable in their field of expertise.

Bakugou is gay. End of list. He's never had any doubt about it, nor any interest in girls. Like at all.

Todoroki is gay and demiromantic as well as demisexual. Todoroki has no experience with crushes, dating, and almost no experience with physical attraction. Dating was never something he cared about until he came to UA and was allowed to discover himself and explore the uncertainties in his identity. He had a lot of help from his friends and definitely went down a dozen internet rabbit holes of research on the topic.

Tsuyu is a lesbian. Full stop. She's very comfortable with herself and her identity, and it's something she's always known about herself. Tsu and Habuko are technically ex-girlfriends. They dated for a little while in middle school, but the relationship kind of came to a natural conclusion when they found out they'd be going to different high schools. But they're on such good terms with each other regardless of the breakup, and they're still very good friends that love each other very much. Tsuyu's siblings love Habuko and think she's the coolest person ever.

Kirishima is gay, but his identity has always been a source of self-consciousness for him, as the few friends he did have in middle school weren't as supportive as they should have been. They weren't bigoted or anything, but they definitely made a few jokes and comments that made Kirishima feel self-conscious enough that he just never told anyone. Not even his mothers. It wasn't until UA that he finally told someone, and it was Mina, since he's known her the longest, and is probably the most comfortable with her, aside from Bakugou.

Jirou is the most flirtatious bisexual to ever bisexual, with an extensive list of ex-partners that she is increasingly proud of. Some people at her old middle school called her a slut for it, but haters gonna hate, and she never hesitated to deck those kids in the mouth because she has no fucks left to give.

Mina is asexual and aromantic. Because she doesn't experience romantic attraction, she's kind of obsessed with the concept of romance and shipping, and gets unnecessarily invested in her friends' love lives; almost like she's living vicariously through their romantic experiences. She also flirts with literally everyone purely for fun, and she refers to everyone with pet names like "babe", "sweetie", "hun", etc.

Satou is a straight trans boy with a lot of love to give and will punch transphobes in the face. His parents are loving and supportive and he was able to take advantage of gender affirming care since he was young, and has had a near seamless transition.

Momo is a lesbian, and thinks men are gross and women are goddesses. While Momo is... aware of her preferences, she doesn't have any experience with dating, as schoolwork and hero studies have taken up almost all of her time and attention, and left little room for dating in the spare time she actually had.

Sero is pansexual and proud and shameless. He and Jirou currently have a running bet about who's dated more people and who can collect the most phone numbers. They're either each other's hype man or nuisance depending on the person they're trying to ask out.

Shouji is also pansexual and is definitely some brand of gender non-conforming. Shouji most likely uses he/they pronouns, but he's never actually told anyone, because unless they deliberately ask for his pronouns, he just doesn't see the point in bringing it up. He kind of has a "don't ask, don't tell" mindset, in that they will not willingly offer information about themself unless it's prompted out of him by other people. Quite literally, if they don't ask, he won't tell.

Tokoyami is gay, and has only ever dated one boy. He revels in the mystery he thinks he has by intentionally keeping things vague and playing hard to get because he's a dramatic goth like that. He's secretly a massive dweeb, though, and Dark Shadow frequently cramped his style, so he learned to have better control over when Dark Shadow was allowed to be out and about.

Ojirou is straight, but also a massive ally. He's only ever dated a couple girls before UA, but he's a sincere, earnest gentleman who's always very honest about his feelings and very down to earth.

Hagakure is also straight and maybe a tad boy crazy. She's more than a bit of a hopeless romantic with all the restraint and dating habits of Mabel Pines.

Aoyama is also aro/ace like Mina and is riding that self-love train all the way, baby.

Kaminari honestly doesn't quite know what he is yet. He definitely likes girls, but he doesn't know if he likes... More than girls. He's currently doing a lot of soul searching (and even more internet searching). It's a good thing his friends are so patient.

Kouda is asexual and panromantic. The idea of sex more than kind of grosses him out, but the prospect of being in love and truly comfortable with someone is as appealing as anything. Dating is hard, especially for someone who struggles to speak on the best of days, but he's trying. And at the very least, he can take comfort in the fact that he knows his friends and family love him.

A poison pen letter; Jack chambers:

Bradley Nickles sleepover party. The boy was only a couple years older than Roger, but yet his parties were some of the most memorably, edgy ones of the same categorizes that high schoolers and college students throw. The special recipe to that?

No supervision whatsoever.

His parents were too busy to simply notice- or care- what Bradley was up to, and despite ending up in the hospital for a deranged dare from one of his friends, his parents just flew down only to say indifferently to "Not play so rough."

Of course, Jack and Alice have never heard such a youngster like that from their children, mostly because they'd flip their lid if even the thought of one their children would be around such an amoral sway of guidance. But, Roger nonetheless didn't seem to care that much about examining the recalcitrant side of Bradley Nickles. All he wanted in that moment from the minute he heard about from school was to go to that party.

"Roger, you've gotta come! Bradley's parties have everything and you hear all the school gossip without all the fluff thrown in it. It's always the real deal when you hear something from Bradley."

"Gee Alex, that sounds awesome.....but I know my parents would never let me. They have this kick about adults playing this important role in parties and such....it really brings everything down. And besides, once they find out what Bradley's about, they'll nark him as a bad influence."

Alex hung his head, pinching his lips. "Sneak out?" Roger's eyes widened. I mean sure he's thought of the idea, but never fully had the courage to go through with it. "I don't know.....maybe," The wheels were turning more aggressively as Roger questioned his strategies for the things he wanted.

"Think about it. After all, Bradley did mention you and....he says your pretty cool." That made Roger's pride do a cartwheel. Bradley Nickles thinks I'm cool? Roger couldn't have been more galvanized at this electrifying news.

So much so, that it had struck 5 in the evening while Roger was still walking home. The little doo-wop tune in his head played like a radio as he danced quietly with a pep in his step. "Roger Chester Chambers! Where have you been? It's been 2 hours since you were supposed to be home from school."

His father's 'greeting' ricocheted Roger from his internal radio station. "Oh, sorry about that Dad, I was talking with a friend about a party this boy at school is having." Jack's furrowed eyebrows turned to one of concern.

"A party? What type?" "Sleepover." Jack nodded slowly. Susan's head perked from the kitchen bar where she had been studying for an upcoming test. "You mean Bradley Nickles? He's this popular kid in the middle school across the way and he has these blowout sleepover parties that his parents completely abandon for their date nights or something like that."

Roger shot Susan a glare that was mixed of astonishment for 'keeping up with the Jones's' type awareness at school and exasperation for spilling the beans on what Roger could only hope to be an attempt to get into one of the coolest parties he's ever been to. "Oh really?" Jack questioned, eyes glancing back and forth between Roger and Susan.

"Yep, last year the police was called because of some crazy dare he did from jumping off the roof of his house blindfolded."

"Why don't you finish you're books in a less annoying spot Susan?" Roger hissed in a irksome tone. Jack shot his glance back to Roger. "S'not nice," He turned back to Susan, "Thank you honey."

"Now as for you young man, if that's the party you're talking about, it's off limits period."

"But dad, this would be my big chance to be considered accreditation for being one of the best pranksters in elementary. No one takes me seriously because to them, I'm just some eight year old kid who doesn't belong with the 'mature' members of pranking society," Jack lifted his left brow in confusion, "I know it's a lot to understand, but trust me....this is huge for me."

"Roger, even if there nothing wrong with this boy, I still don't know him or his parents and neither does your mother." The thought of the very attendance of Roger being at a party like that sent a shudder down Jack's spine. Looking into those big green eyes were of the same babyish ones Roger once blinked lust into the eyes of his father.

Even Jack understood that through his own looking glass, he still saw the little two year old, sucking his thumb; diaper sticking out from his little pants and the plushy teddy bear in the crook of his arm asking for permission to attend this minacious sleepover. Those pangs of his heart is what moved him to no, because he had to.

"I'm sorry Roger but you're not going. That's final." But it wasn't. At least that's what the scowl that slithered onto Roger's face said. "It's not fair! Okay so maybe he is a little on the wild side, but it doesn't make him a bad person! You always treat me like a baby and never Susan!"

Jack sighed. "Roger, I do not treat you like a baby. But this party just isn't a good one for many reasons: there's no supervision of any kind, Bradley does harmful things and the boys who go there don't use good judgement.....god forbid something should happen to them and the police shows up."

Susan sensed trouble, like a gazelle sensing the sneering grasps of a preying lion and makes a mad dash to her bedroom before things get ugly. Roger and Jack, both having similar personalities with their rocket extroverted identities, and also a lion's growl perfervid blazing temper when provoked. Now father and son were both going at it; fangs now fully uprooted from their mouths. A piercing growl and roar can be heard heard miles apart from them.

The only difference being: Jack's was a protective one, fighting to protect his young cub from any marred perception's of what Roger was thinking to be cool. And Roger's being one of defiance, fighting for his right to party, despite to callous carelessness of virulent outing.

"Roger, I am your father! I'm only trying to protect you!" Jack's roar was booming, "I get that dad, but this party is not super harmful! You're just being overprotective!"

It went back and forth like this until the pot finally boiled over. "Roger, you go upstairs to your room right now!" Roger stormed upstairs before slamming the door. Plopping down on his bed, stomach first. "He's so unfair.....nothing's going to happen to me." The brunette boy sulked sullenly on his bed, legs crossed Indian style and fist poaching his cheeks upward, smooshing his face.

The first arbitrary thought that ran through his mind was to write a poison pen letter to Jack and then crumble it all up once he was finished voicing his bitter woes about his father. So, Roger took a seat at his dark maple desk and snagged the first piece of paper from his notebook and started jotting down all the; 'I hate about you's' that concerned Jack.

Once finished, even Roger had to admit the intense austerity and acerbity that laced the taboo letter. It gave a true meaning to poison in a poison pen letter. Roger then sealed it and threw in his garbage can. The crushing weight that was upon him now dangled like a thread off a toy.

For most of the night, he had forgotten about Bradley and took more pleasure in playing samurai with himself instead. In terms of throwing his "own" sleepover.

But it was the gentle knock on his bedroom door that took his attention away from his own shenanigans. Roger opened it to a Jack who had a bowl of ice cream with mountains of chocolate syrup drizzled on top of it. He couldn't hide his perplexed look.

"Rog.....I just wanted to apologize for losing my temper. That was an uncalled for reaction and I'm so sorry," Roger blinked and then cleared his throat, "I-I'm sorry too dad. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that either.....I guess I kinda lost control myself too huh?"

Jack re-framed from nodding. Instead he handed Roger his ice cream and allowed him to set it down before hugging him. "Let's promise each other to stay calm whenever there's a disagreement," Jack rubbed the hair on the back of Roger's hair gently.

"Okay, considered it promised." Jack sent a giggle to Roger. "Night champ." He kissed Roger's head before walking over to Susan's bedroom. The guilt had now seeded itself inside of Roger. The rashness of his actions were now to catch up if Jack were to ever find that atrocious letter.

To add insult to injury, the next morning upon waking up, it was broadcasted that Bradley and the boys from his party were all taken down to the police station that night when they shot fireworks into someone's lawn. The boys were awaiting legal punishment without the consent of their parents. Jack being among the first to hear this, made a beeline to Roger's bedroom.

He sat respectfully down on the boy's bed, looking keenly into his twins matching grassy globes. "I knew Bradley was a very bad influence. I'm guessing you heard what happened?" Roger nodded, looking down. "One of them was Alex.....he's one of my closest friends," Jack rubbed Roger's back, "I know. So I'm sure Alex knows he needs to be careful with who his friends are now. Things like this happen, and now who does he have?"

Roger bit his lip, uncomfortable with the answer. He gaze never left his blue covers. "Well, I hope he's alright....but as for you, I love you very much Roger, and I only want what's best for you. And that's never changed." Jack placed a hand on Roger's cheek.

Roger sniffled. "You're right, I guess I dodged a bullet this time," Jack smiled before turning serious again, "Bradley....." Jack sighed, "Bradley doesn't really care about you or really any of the other boys. He's just lonely, and he wants to take as many boys as he can down with him because his parents or anyone for that matter don't truly care about him,"

Roger gulped back his deferential words. He wanted to prove submissive to the lesson Jack wanted to teach him. "But I think you're cool, and so does you mom and Susan." Jack continued with a ardent voice. The guilt was striking Roger in face like a player striking his baseball across the field. The final strike was: "You're my special little guy. Forever and ever." With a sentimental kiss on his cheek as well.

The sweet smell of chocolate chip pancakes overwhelmed the entire downstairs. The homey aroma floated through the upstairs and injected itself into Roger's nostrils. "Kids, breakfast is ready!" Alice called from the bottom of the stairs. Roger and Susan both galloped out of their rooms to the lead of their growling tummies.

Jack was already at the table; newspaper in his face, coffee by his reach. "Smells good hon," Jack would never be one to pass up a compliment to his wife and her cooking. "Thank you Jack."

The toothsome taste of the pancakes, completely erased Roger's mind of the poison pen letter he had written; it was still sitting neatly on the tippy top of his trash can. School went by briskly and Roger's mind was already in a more playful state as he and Susan were playing 'cat and dog' in their backyard after school.

Until the tautness finally took its toll around the evening.

Jack whistled happily to a little melody he painted on the spot. As a good deed, he gathered the trash around the house. "Oops," He said, bending down to pick up a piece of paper from Roger's bin that had fallen out. But his eyes scanned over his name: Dad. At least his paternal title.

Against the nagging gibe of unsatisfactorily peering him over to the edge, he still opened the note. Jack's mouth became dry at all the rancorous, brutish sentences written with such clarity and multiplex. Feelings of severe anguish overcame him: Heartbreak, furiousness, insecurity and dubiety took its rings around him. Jack's hand shook and shivered like he had been stabbed in the gut without mercy.

Instead, he bit his lip, saved the letter and carried on with the chores. Roger noticed a slight change in his father's naturally fizzy personality. The man now had this gloomy shadow of betrayal lingering around him like a shadow on a sunny day. His answers were short and faded and his genial expression was now one of tetchy one.

After dinner, Jack sat in the bedroom feeling sorry for himself just staring at the floor mindlessly. "Jack, what's wrong?" Alice asked. Jack looked with dejected puppy dog eyes at his wife. "Look," He said, showing her the abhorrent letter his own son had written about him. "I found it while emptying the trash."

Alice's eyebrows furrowed the more she read it. Her mouth opened a agape a little in anger. "I'll go talk to him, this is unacceptable."

Jack sniffled. "He hates me.....this is because I wouldn't let him go the Bradley Nickles sleepover. I guess he was more angry then he let on." Alice sat next to Jack. "You did the right thing." Alice kissed Jack's cheek before getting up to confront Roger.

"Roger Chester Chambers! You come upstairs right now!" Roger trollied up the stairs with a perplexed look. Alice had the letter in her hand and instantly Roger's face sunk. "How did you-"

"Never you mind where he got it.....it wasn't nice Roger." Alice's voice softened. Roget bit the side of his lip in shame. "He got it? You mean you?" Alice shook her head. "When he was taking out the trash....Roger....you owe your father an apology. He loves you very, very much......he takes care of you and Susan and he does so much for you. Even when you get angry with him, you still can't write things like this.....that's unacceptable."

Roger looked down. "After all, when he gets angry, you never hear him say anything mean about you right?" Roger nodded. "He's your father.....and for that you owe him your respect."

That really sunk in. "Where is he?" Alice motioned to their bedroom. Roger walked in, quiet as a mouse. He carefully sat down next to Jack. "I'm sorry daddy......I should never have wrote those things about you.....I was just angry but that's no excuse. I'm really, really sorry and I appreciate everything you do."

Roger hugged Jack tightly, anticipating if Jack would accept the hug. "It's okay Roger.....but just....why? Why write something like that?" Roger shrugged, still in Jack's arms. "I don't know.....it was the heat of the moment and I remember thinking about how I was so angry, that I would just do the first thing that came to mind and that's when I wrote that poison pen letter.......I'm sorry."

Jack hugged Roger tighter. "It's okay Roger.....I love you very much......never forget that."

Roger smiled, "I won't....for as long as I live."

Roger was happy Jack was no longer bleeding love and Jack was happy Roger finally saw the error of his ways. The reconcile only proved that love would always win at the end of the day.
