Toshiro/Shuro is overhated
(mirror of my thread on twitter)
ever wanted to talk abt something so bad but u have so many thoughts so u cant even begin to organize a sentence. thats me abt shuro and its why i cant give my thoughts on him. i NEED to get this out of my system bc its takign up so much memory in my brain i need that space for thinking.
so i was really surprised to find so much hate for him even tho he seems pretty normal and rational out of the whole cast. ive deducted that its mostly abt his laios fight and that the ppl who hate him probably had bad experiences w social cues and relationships w neurotypicals bc of that. theres no way to avoid it bc its pretty much Right In Your Face that laios is ND. but thats not the only factor in why their relationship is rocky. its also the culture barrier. u have to understand toshiro was raised as JAPANESE NOBILITY ofc he would be a little conservative
also culture shock. idk if u know this but jp culture is very Mind Your Own Business like a lot of other asian cultures . ofc hes gonna be weirded out by a stranger invading his space. also his names not even Shuro. its just yt ppl not pronouncing his name right and settling for whats easiest.
Tumblr media
img src: fan translation by savaralyn2 , i think its from the adventurers bible Complete Edition bc i dont remember it in the old one
ok you get the gist of the culture aspect of it. lets go into the ND/NT clash aspect of it. yes i understand its pretty hurtful to never be told when youre acting inappropriately. i am autistic too lmao. but you have to understand that shiro is one guy and he even does realize that repressing things is one of his fatal flaws. again. asian culture. non confrontational. that sorta thing. but these are genuine frustrations. if i were him id be annoyed too but id speak out about it. set boundaries. bc im blunt. shiros not. he was taught crazy strict manners (hierarchies, respect, politeness, etc).
his problem isnt ableism its a culmination of culture barriers, how he was raised to behave, and terrible lack of communication as thing caused by "all of the above" plus he just generally keeps to himself a lot which means repressing frustrations that will explode leading to a pathetic fistfight while hes starved, exhausted, and dehydrated. also. if he was ableist he would hate laios. he doesnt hate laios. at the end of the day, they are friends. NT and ND ppl can be friends u know. there will be rifts (like their fight) but you just have to communicate misunderstandings. theyre gonna be fine lol
anyways that was my whole spiel abt it. i think i got everything out that i wanted to? my head still feels a little full so i may add more later when i remember something
also i think its a little unfair to rule out the possibility of laios and him just being 2 very different kinds of ND bc its very common for misunderstandings to occur even then. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT BUT WE NEED TO COMMUNICATE TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER! but for the sake of interpreting the Fight as a commentary on NT social rules and ND frustration, ill say toshiros NT. will we ever know? hes so far in the sidelines... youd really have to dig in the extra content to see the intricacies of his character.... please give him a chance

🍵Akayona Tea Time🍵
Today, I'm reviewing: JAE-HA
Tumblr media
Ingredients:
Hojicha
Green Chai (cinnamon, ginger, cloves, orange, cardamom)
Vanilla Green
Tumblr media
Brewing Instructions:
1 tsp (5.96 g)
8 oz (236 ml)
180 °F (82 °C)
2 Minutes
Tumblr media
Results:
Light-green brew
Spiced aroma
Light earthy flavor with a spicey/sweet aftertaste
Tumblr media
Final Thoughts:
A really good, warming cup of tea. I like that the hojicha gives the cup an earthy feel, but the spice might have been a tad too overpowering. The vanilla didn't really shine through that much either. But if you want a spiced green tea, this is a good one. Think chai, but with green tea instead of black tea.
Changes I Would Make:
I get where the creator was going with hojicha (earthy feel like the ship), but I think a more green tea would have worked better. My thought would be to use either sencha or gyokuro, both very aromatic deep green teas from Japan. They taste more of the sea as well (less ship). The spice is cool, but I would change the blend ratio AND kick out the vanilla and add a jasmine. Jasmine and Jae-Ha just seem to fit together in my mind.
My Blend:
Sencha or Gyokuro (50%)
Jasmine Phoenix/Dragon Pearls (30%)
Spiced Green (20%)

"you idiot."
Tumblr media
pairing: megumi fushiguro x reader genre: fluff warnings: mentions of blood/wounds synopsis: megumi injures himself on a mission with you after stupidly trying to take on multiple first-grade curses at once. now you have to patch him up.
notice: there is no established relationship here. also reader is a bit of a tsundere hehe~ also i dont know anything about medical stuff!! this could be very wrong so im sorry!!
a/n: my first published fic woohoo!!
909 words
Reader POV:
“You idiot.” I grumble as I hold one of Megumi’s arms over my shoulders, helping him limp into the training room where the simple first aid was kept. I led him to the table in the middle. “Sit up here. Can you manage?” I asked him, to which he nodded and propped his arms up on the table, hoisting himself up onto the cold metal surface, wincing as his wounded leg throbbed angrily.
I started rummaging through the cupboards for the first aid kit, cursing under my breath as most were bare of the tools I needed. Despite being one of the top sorcerers in Jujutsu High, I was studying basic medical techniques from Shoko Ieiri, so I could help my wounded comrades in battle- like the one hoisted up on the table behind me.
I finally found the first aid kit, as well as an old towel. Running the towel under the sink water, I wring it out before turning back to Megumi, who was sitting up on the metal table and tentatively peeling ripped uniform fabric off the bloody wound on his leg.
Grabbing his hand and moving it out of the way, I grab the towel. “This will probably hurt.” I say nonchalantly before draping the wet rag over his wound, making him hiss in pain. Without minding his discomfort, I mopped up the extra blood around his cut so I could wrap it up. I look up at him, his eyes squeezed shut and his jaw tight. I go back to work.
Pulling the gauze roll and medical tape out of the first aid kit, I begin wrapping the deep scratches on his thigh that he got from the curses he tried to take on by himself. There was a large hole in his uniform pants from this, so using the space it created I maneuvered the bandages around his leg in and back out of his shredded pants. Once thoroughly dressed, I tape the end of the bandage to the rest of the dressing, and mopping up any excess blood with the towel.
Scanning his body for any more major wounds and seeing none, I start to work on the scratches and bruises on his face. Tossing the bloody rag into the sink, I walk back over to him, standing in between his legs and using one hand to push his messy raven-coloured hair out of his face, keeping it in place above his head with my hand. He makes somewhat of a scowling expression at this, that dissipates however once I press a wet cotton ball to the scrapes on his forehead.
Once the blood is cleaned I grab a gauze pad, sticking it on his wound and smoothing it down with my fingers. Then, grabbing bandaids from the kit, I brought a hand up to his jaw, tilting his head to the left so I could access the cut easier. Sticking a bandaid to the cut, I work my way around his face quickly in sealing each of his cuts and scrapes.
Finally, tilting his head so he faces me to patch up the last scrape, his eyes meet mine- and for a moment, I can't move. My eyes widen slightly, a subtle heat rises in my cheeks and my breath hitches. This is when I finally realize the situation we’re in. how close i was to him. Holding his face turned toward me and standing inches away from him.
It's now when I snap out of my thoughts and avert my eyes away, trying to collect my thoughts again so I can finish the task at hand, when this time, his hand finds my jaw and tilts it upward, making it so my eyes meet him again. Before I can react his lips are on mine, and I stand frozen in place, the heat in my face rising more and my breath hitching in my throat as my heart beats faster.
After a few moments he draws back, holding my face softly in his hand, his thumb brushing over my cheekbone as he looks into my eyes again, the same stoic expression on his face but a softer look to it now, a small smile threatening to break out on his face at the sight of my pink tinted complexion.
My usual aloof facial expression faltered, my mouth parted slightly in stunned shock as my eyes stayed locked with his. His eyes flicker from my lips to my eyes and back again, before slowly bringing me back in and closing the space, kissing me slowly and passionately.
As much as I try to keep distant from him, I can't help but melt into his touch as his hand caresses the side of my face so softly, tenderly. His thumb ghosting over my cheekbone as his fingers curl into my hair. His tongue brushes against my bottom lip, his touches so gentle, until he pulls away, leaving me breathless and stunned.
His hand lingers on my face, keeping my head tilted to face him as I stand just inches away from him. A soft pink hue tints his cheeks as his eyes stay locked with mine. I feel myself blush even more, the heat reaching the tips of my ears as I bring the back of my hand up to my face to cover the dumb expression.
“You idiot…” I grumble out once more as a subtle smirk tugs at his lips.
requests r open :3

“My love~” The sound of Finn's voice echoing from their dimly lit shared bathroom causes Nick to abruptly lift his head from the pillow he’s laying on. 
“Yes?” Nick replies as he pushes himself up into a sitting position. The soft sound of footsteps pattering against the floorboards sounds through the male's ears as he swings his legs over the side of the bed. 
“I should've done my skincare last night.” Nick didn’t need to lift his head to know that Finn was frowning. His tone sounded nothing but upset and Nick's claim seems to be correct when he lifts his head to be met with his boyfriend slightly pouting. 
“What makes you say that? Did you break out or something?” Nick instinctively grasps Finn's hips to pull him in between his legs. He watches as his boyfriend slowly nods and removes his hand from the left side of his face to reveal a small, baby blue star patch.
“I got a pimple.” Finn raises a finger to point at the covered pimple, his frown not faltering. Before Nick gets the chance to add to the conversation, Finn sighs deeply and takes a seat on his boyfriend’s leg. “I envy you and your clear skin.” 
“Do you now?” Finn rapidly nods his head as he rests his chin on Nick's semi-clothed shoulder. 
“Yeah. You rarely break out. And when you do, it doesn’t take you very long to get rid of the pimples of whatever pops up on your skin.”
Nick simply hums softly and begins to drag his fingertips against Finn’s clothes back. “Baby, I have a question for you.” 
“What is it?” 
“I was talking with Matt and Chris last night about us coming clean about our relationship to the fans. They both made some pretty good points and I wanted to know if you were okay with coming to join us for a podcast so we can, you know, properly come out and I can introduce you to everyone as my boyfriend. It was either that or doing it in a car video but I feel like fans would want to know more about you, especially if they don’t follow you on social media, so they can get to know how wonderful you are from you from the podcast. What do you say? we’ll be filming the episode later today so you practically have all day to think about it.” 
The faint sound of Finn humming runs through Nick's ears for a moment, followed by the soft vibrations of his chest against his arm. “I'm down.” 
Nick's eyes light up as he leans back slightly to peer down at Finn. “really?” 
The taller hums again with a small smile as he gets up from his spot on Nick's leg. “As long as I get to sit next to you in the studio and if Chris and Matt aren’t gonna tease us the entire time.” 
“Well, I can't promise you that, but I'll talk to them later. Anyways, where are you going? Come back.” 
“I need to change!” A small laugh escapes Finn’s lips as he excuses himself to go to the closet. Upon opening the door and letting himself inside the small space, Nick quickly gets up from his spot on the bed and rushes over to the male. The moment he steps foot inside his closet, his eyes narrow as he watches his boyfriend shift through his rack of sweatshirts. 
“What are you doing?” Nick asks, his arms crossing over his chest. 
Finn momentarily shifts his gaze from the hangers in front of him to look over at his boyfriend who’s leaning against the doorframe. He sends the male a soft smile and returns to shifting through the hangers before he replies, “Finding a sweatshirt to wear.” 
“In my closet?” 
“Yeah.” Nick rolls his eyes as Finn finally settles on a clothing item. The redhead can practically see the happiness and excitement radiating off his boyfriend as he slips a black sweatshirt with large gray stars off a hanger. He watches as Finn quickly flips the item around to allow Nick to see it, a cheesy smile clear as day on his lips. 
“This is what you bought on our first date.” Finn says, his arms quickly getting to work on getting the sweatshirt over his head. 
“First date?” Nick asks, a single eyebrow raising as he watches his boyfriend’s head pop out of the top of the sweater. 
Finn lets out a small sigh as the familiar smell of vanilla runs through his senses. “Yeah, first date. Well, I considered it to be a little date, a blind one in a sense if you get what I mean.” 
“You know, we haven’t gone out on a proper date in a while.” At Nick's statement, Finn can't help but smile widely. As he approaches the redhead, he slowly wraps his arms around the shorter’s waist and peers down at him. 
“Is that a way of telling me that you want to go on a proper date?” Finn asks, his smile not faltering as he watches Nick’s facial expressions carefully. 
“Obviously, yes. I’ve actually been planning a little date for a few days now.” Nick smiles as he watches Finn’s eyes mimic those of a child being surprised on Christmas day. “Before you say anything, that’s all I'm telling you.” 
Finn’s excited expression drops and is quickly replaced with a small frown. “Oh come on~” The male whines as he begins to sway himself and Nick back and forth. “Just another hint, please?” 
“Nope. You're just gonna have to wait.” As Nick slips out of Finn’s hold and exits the closet, the latter gasps dramatically and quickly follows him. 
“Come on, please?” 
“Nope.” Finn lets out a small whine as he follows Nick downstairs. He quickly turns the corner when the male enters the kitchen and he immediately leans against the counter closest to Nick with his arms crossed over his chest. 
“Well, good morning you two.” Matt greets as he passes the kitchen upon exiting his bedroom, his mop of messy and fluffy chocolate brown hair being a sign of his good night’s rest. 
Finn quickly turns his head around to face the younger male. “Oh hey.” Matt shares a quick smile with Finn as he walks towards the fridge. 
“So…” The brunette starts as he grabs a bottle of root beer off the top shelf. “Are we having a guest join us for the podcast today?” 
At Matt’s straightforward question, Nick quickly shifts his gaze from the small ceramic bowl in his hands to Finn who’s next to him. The redhead shares a quick look with his boyfriend before the taller smiles softly and looks over at Matt who’s taking small sips of the beverage in his hand. 
“I believe so, yes.” Finn replies with a small head nod. Matt lets out an excited shout before he makes his way over to the couple on the opposite side of the kitchen. 
“Did it take a lot of convincing?” Matt diverts his question to Nick who’s busy stirring a serving of dry cereal in the milk in his bowl. He waits for the older to take a quick bite and swallow the contents before he replies, “Not really no. I just gave him a quick rundown of what happened last night and he agreed to join us today.” 
After seeing Matt look over at him, Finn gently nods his head with a small smile. “Well, I’m glad you’re joining us today, Finn.” Matt says as he takes another quick sip of his root beer. “Should I start prepping questions with Chris then?”
“Yeah, I think that’s a good idea. When you guys are done, send me the list.” Nick replies with a small head nod. 
“Alright, I'll go do that then. See you guys later.” Matt sends a quick wave goodbye to Nick and Finn as he excuses himself to go back to his bedroom. After ensuring that the male shuts the door behind him, Finn immediately wraps his arms around Nick’s waist and pulls him flush against his chest.
At the sudden movement, the redhead lets out a small noise of surprise and removes the spool full of cereal from his mouth before it spills. After setting the utensil down in the nearly empty bowl, Nick turns his head to be met with a smiley Finn who’s resting his head on his shoulder. 
“Can we go back to bed please?” Finn asks, his speech slightly muffled due to his mouth being inches away from the exposed skin on Nick’s shoulder. 
“Baby, it’s 2 o’clock in the afternoon.” Nick starts, his eyes momentarily shifting over to the microwave nearby to double-check the time. “I don't think it’s a good idea to go to bed right now. Besides, if you want to cuddle, we can do it in the living room.”
“Fine.” Finn huffs slightly, his grip on Nick’s waist tightening ever so slightly. “Hurry up. You're taking too long.” 
“Calm down Mr. Eager. I'm almost done.” Finn impatiently watches as Nick picks up his spoon and scoops up a few pieces of cereal and some milk. At the sight of the male slowly risking the utensil to his slightly opened mouth, Finn groans and drops his head to his boyfriend’s shoulder. 
“You hate me.” Nick can’t help but chuckle at the taller’s statement and quickly stuffs the food in his mouth before going for another portion. 
“Glad you're aware of the fact so I don’t have to verbally say it.” Nick bites back a laugh when he hears Finn gasp dramatically. He watches from the corner of his eye as the male stands upright, his mouth wide open in shock drawing a small chuckle from him. 
“That's so disrespectful.” Finn waits for Nick to eat the contents from his spoon before he lands a poke on his side. The redhead flinches at the small touch and quickly whips around to narrow his eyes at the taller. 
“No, it’s not.” Nick defends as he points the tip of his spoon at the male. 
“Yes, it is.” Finn frowns, “Hurry up and finish your cereal.” 
“You’re the one that interrupted me.” 
“Yeah, yeah. Just hurry up please I’m getting cold.” 
“Baby, you have a whole-ass sweater on. The only person here that should be cold is me.” Nick gestures to the white tank top hugging his torso before he turns around to face his bowl again. 
“Hey, you’re the one that decided to change out of your shirt to put this on.” Finn starts, his pointer finger hooking underneath the strap on Nick’s tank top. “You could’ve left it on.” 
“Okay true,” Nick mumbles, his speech slightly muffled due to the food in his mouth. Finn simply hums as he watches the redhead walk over to the skin to wash his dish.
After turning off the tap and wiping his hands dry, Nick makes his way over to Finn and wordlessly grabs his hand to guide the two of them to the living room. The shorter momentarily releases his hand from Finn’s to sit down as as he reaches over to grab a pillow, the taller’s eyes stay glued to Nick’s arms which slightly flex as he reaches over. 
“I can feel you starting. Well, see you staring as well.” Nick states, his eyes momentarily shifting up to see his boyfriend before he fixes it back onto the pillow in his hand. 
“Are you sure you haven’t been working out?” Finn asks, a single hand resting on his hip as the other points at Nick. The latter quickly raises his head at his boyfriend’s question and chuckles softly before reaching forward to grab his waist. 
“Finn, we've been around each other almost every single day. I think you would know if I was working out.” Nick guides Finn to sit in his lap before he continues, “Besides, you know damn well I'm not about that physical activity shit.” 
Finn can’t help but giggle at Nick's last statement. “Oh trust me, I know. But I'm just saying that you got a little muscle building up.” 
Nick raises an eyebrow at the taller tucking his head in the crook of his neck. “I heavily beg to differ but whatever you say.” 
“Look, I'm not lying!” Finn quickly removes himself from his spot in Nick’s neck to grab into his arm. His hand quickly shifts up to the male’s bicep and the moment he squeezes the area, he feels the shorter tense underneath his fingers. “You definitely have some muscles here. Look, just flex a little.”
“Finn, I am not flexing.” 
“Come on, why not.” 
“Because.”
“Because why?” 
Nick lets out a small sigh and looks over at Finn, the sight of his puppy eyes causing his heart to ache. “Alright, enough of that.” He gently sets his hand on the taller’s face to push him away.  “If I flex my arm will you paint your nails with me?” 
“Abso-fucking-lutely. Now flex, cmon!” Nick sighs yet again and waits for Finn to remove his hand from his bicep before he quickly flexes his arm. At the excited shout escaping his boyfriend’s mouth, Nick instinctively hides his face behind his hand. “You do have muscles you fucking liar!” 
Nick doesn’t say anything and instead shakes his head in response. Finn playfully rolls his eyes at the male before he grabs the hand covering his face and slowly pries it away. “Why are you so flustered?” Finn teases, a large smile appearing on his lips at the sight of his boyfriend’s flushed face. 
“Shut it,” Nick mumbles as he leans forward to hide in Finn’s chest. The latter giggles at his boyfriend and cards a hand through his dark red locks before landing a small peck on the crown of his head. 
_____
“Baby, you know you don’t have to do a full face of makeup right? It’s not like we’re going out in public.” Nick says as he steps into his bathroom, his fingers getting to work on zipping up a purple sweater that’s loosely hung on his shoulders.
“It’s just guy-liner I swear.” Finn defends, his tall frame leaning back from the mirror to look over at the male standing next to him. He gives his boyfriend a small smile before lifting the eyeliner underneath his eye again. Nick sighs softly and shakes his head as he lifts himself on the counter. He wastes no time in grabbing Finn’s free hand and fiddling with the few rings hugging his fingers. The latter, noticing the male’s change in behavior, momentarily stops what he’s doing to look over at him. “My love?” 
Nick quickly lifts his head to meet Finn’s worried gaze. “Yeah?” 
“You’re nervous. What’s wrong?” 
“Nervous? Pshh. I’m not nervous.” Finn exhales deeply through his nose before turning his body so he’s fully facing Nick. He sends the male a knowing look before saying, “You don’t think I noticed that you play with my rings when you're nervous?” 
Nick forces his lips into a straight line and allows his gaze to fall back down to Finn’s hand which is still in his gasp. “Okay, maybe I am a little nervous.” 
A small frown makes its way onto Finn’s lips before he takes a step close to Nick and sets his free hand on his clothed thigh. “Why?”
“Don’t know.” 
“Nick…” As Finn cups the latter’s face with a single hand, Nick sighs softly and looks up at him. “Is it because this is gonna be the first video that’s gonna be posted of us being together?” Nick slowly nods his head. “Oh baby, you don’t need to be nervous about this. Just think about it like this; When this podcast gets uploaded, we can finally be open to doing whatever we want. You want us to be free with this, right?” Nick nods again. “Okay, then let’s get this done and we can do that.” 
Finn lands a quick peck on the younger’s forehead before returning to his space in front of the mirror. As he touches up his slightly smudged eyeliner, the faint sound of the door opening alerts Nick and causes his head to quickly lift and turn towards the sound. 
“You guys getting ready to go on the catwalk or what? The hell's taking so long?” The annoyed voice of Chris echoes in the bedroom as the male steps inside and makes a beeline for the open bathroom. The male sighs softly and crosses his arms over his chest when his eyes land on Nick and Finn who have both stopped what they’re doing. Finn slowly turns his head around to meet eyes with Chris, the hand that’s holding his eyeliner still inches away from his eye. 
“Just give us five more minutes,” Finn says with a soft huff. 
“Can you knock, please? You have no manners.” Nick mumbles as he lightly shoves Chris’s shoulder to push him out of the bathroom. 
“Whatever. Just hurry up please.” Chris rolls his eyes with a small sigh before he exits the room and gently shuts the door behind him. 
“You done?” Nick asks, turning his head to look over at his boyfriend who’s ruffling his hair. 
“Yeah, I'm done,” Finn replies as he shakes his head, his slightly curly bangs flopping down neatly over his forehead. “Wait, do you wanna wear something of mine before we head to the studio?” 
“Wear something of yours?” Nick repeats, a single eyebrow-raising. 
“Yeah.” Finn hums and guides the shorter out of the bathroom. “Since I'm wearing your sweater, you could wear the one I wore here. The fans would see that we’re wearing each other's clothes and they would freak out about it.” 
Nick softly hums as he watches Finn walk over to the stack of neatly folded clothes sitting on his desk. “I’m down.” As the redhead unzips his sweater and shrugs it off his body, Finn slips a hoodie with dark green and black stripes out from his pile of clothes. He walks over to Nick, the item in his right hand, and gives his boyfriend a small smile before handing it to him. “Will it fit me?” 
Finn’s smile immediately drops and he narrows his eyes at his boyfriend who gently slips the hoodie out of his hand. “Nick, are you serious?” 
“Dead serious. I’m clearly larger than you and have never worn your clothes before so.” 
“Nick… You act like you're two sizes larger than I am. You’ll be fine, baby. Just put it on.” Nick glances up at Finn and sends him an anxious expression before hesitantly slipping the hoodie over his head.
He swiftly pulls his arms through the sleeves and pulls down the end of the clothing item once it’s fully on him. Nick takes a moment to stare down at his torso and examine the hoodie loosely hugging his torso before he looks up and gives a small smile to Finn. 
“See? It fits you!” Finn beams with a wide smile. He walks closer to Nick and begins to fix his hair which was messed up while he was putting his hoodie on. As he begins to card his slim fingers through his boyfriend’s hair, the redhead hums softly and subconsciously leans into the touch. 
“Yeah, I guess it does.” Nick hums softly. “I think we should go to the studio before Chris beats our ass.” 
“I think so too. Let’s go, c'mon.” Finn takes Nick’s hand in his and intertwines their fingers before he pulls him to the door. The moment they both step out of the room, they enter the brightly lit podcast studio. 
At the sound of a door softly shutting, Matt perks his head up and looks over at Nick and Finn who are walking towards the pink and white booth he’s sitting in. 
“Finally.” Matt sighs as he shuts his phone off and tucks it under his leg. “Was starting to think that you two would never show up.” 
“Okay, calm down. We’re here, are we not?” Nick says, shooting a glare toward the younger. The male steps aside when he reaches the booth to allow Finn to take a seat first. After his boyfriend settles in front of a mic at the edge of the table, Nick slips into his usual spot in the booth as well. 
“Everyone good with their spots?” Chris asks, mainly asking his question to Finn. As he gently sets his hands on both sides of his mic, Finn abruptly lifts his head to meet Chris’ gaze. After locking eyes with the boy, he gently nods his head and shoots the male a small smile. 
“The cameras are on right?” Nick asks, his eyes drifting from the various cameras tucked in the corners of the room. 
“Yeah, they’re on. We’re all good to go, kid. Start when you’re ready.” Matt confirms with a small head nod. 
Nick lets out a small exhale through his nose before looking over at Finn who’s sitting fairly close to him, however not close to the point they’d be in the same camera frame. The taller looks over at the younger and swiftly takes his hand that’s under the table.
As he begins to trace comforting circles on the back of the redhead’s hand, Nick cracks a smile and averts his attention back to his mic. He looks down at it for a moment and glances over Chris, who gives him an encouraging head nod. Nick nods faintly, more as a reassurance thing for himself, before he looks towards his camera. 
“Good morning Campers and welcome back to the Cut The Camera Podcast!” Nick greets, a warm smile immediately taking over his features. “I am Nick Sturniolo and I will be your favorite host for today's episode.” 
“Yeah, yeah favorite host my ass.” Matt mumbles, rolling his eyes for a brief moment before he looks at his respective camera. “I’m Matt by the way.” 
“And I'm Chris!” The youngest triplets exclaims, a large smile clear as day on his face. The male plays his imaginary air guitar for a moment and mimics the sound of the said instrument before he stops and rests his hands on the table in front of him. 
“I’m going to go ahead and do the small introduction for this episode because someone over here is getting nervous.” Matt begins, his eyes shifting over to lock with Nick’s who sends him a warning glare. “Today is a very special episode because we have someone joining us today. You guys might know this person, some of you may not, but I'll allow Nick to introduce this person to you guys. Nick?” 
“Thanks Matt,” Nick mumbles, his voice trailing off as he subconsciously begins to fidget with Finn’s fingers under the table. 
“Is that sarcasm?” 
“That’s up to your interpretation.” Matt shakes his head with a soft sigh as Nick looks over at his boyfriend. The redhead can’t help but smile when the male sends him a small wink and quickly looks away from him to look at his camera. “Today joining us in the studio is my boyfriend, Finn. Would you like to introduce yourself to the viewers and or listeners?” 
“I’d love to.” Finn replies with a small smile. He brings his mic closer to his mouth with his free hand before he continues, “Hey guys, I’m Finn as you may know. I am 21 years old and have been dating Nick for almost three months now. I am a full-time Instagram influencer but am close to being a full-time model as well.” 
“Wait, you're close to being a full-time model? I thought that was a side job you had.” Chris asks, his head tilting to the side as he looks over at the blue-haired male. 
“Yeah, it was a side job but since my manager, shoutout to Kim.” Finn starts, making a small finger heart with his free hand before he continues, “Has been booking me a lot more, I’ve been getting more modeling opportunities. It’s like every other day that I need to go to a shoot so I'd say that I'm very close to modeling full-time.” 
“This isn’t a question we have prepped but since we’re on the topic, would you drop Instagram if you did decide to go full-time with modeling? I know that job is a lot, from what I hear from you, and I'm just wondering if it’d be a little difficult to juggle two jobs at once.” 
“That’s a very good question hmm..” Finn ponders for a moment, his lips momentarily shifting into a straight line as he thinks. “I don’t think so, no. Instagram means a lot to me considering how much of a following I have on there and everything. Not to mention how I started my entire career there so I think that suddenly dumping Instagram would be a lot. I’ve been healthy balancing that and modeling with no problem right now so keeping up my account shouldn’t be a problem if and when I decide to go full-time with modeling.” 
“I see, I see.” Matt hums, “Was it hard making a face for yourself on social media through Instagram? I feel like it’s a lot harder for people to reach popularity through Instagram since there’s so much on there. Also, guys, don’t worry we will get into relationship questions here in a minute.” 
Finn chuckles softly at Matt’s last statement, his head dropping for a second before he looks back up and replies, “It was a little difficult, yes but I just kept being constant with posts and stuff. I feel like the key to growing on any base is being consistent so that’s exactly what I did. I did experience some setbacks a few years into gaining popularity but I got over them eventually.” 
“When did you start social media? Like age-wise.” Chris asks. 
“I wanna say like 16,” Finn replies with a small head nod. “I wanted to start way younger but my parents didn’t let me so.” 
“I feel like 16 is a decent age to start this stuff at. I mean we started our YouTube career at 17 and just continued to work towards getting popularity. I was about to say fame but I find that a little corny. Besides, I think fame is too big of a word to describe what we have right now.” 
“I completely agree with the fame thing. I would never use that term to describe myself, no matter how big I get. I just feel like that’s more of a celebrity term. You know, singers and actors usually have that term tied to their names.” 
“Yes! I completely agree!” Matt exclaims, his voice raising a few octaves as he points a single finger at Finn. 
“Great minds think alike,” Finn says with a large smile. The two share a quick handshake before Chris breaks the small silence. 
“Nick, I haven't heard from you in a good minute. You doing okay over there?” Chris asks, a teasing smile creeping onto his lips as he glances over at the older who’s staring at his boyfriend. 
“Huh?” Nick hums, quickly snapping out of his gaze when Chris’ voice runs through his ears. “Oh, yeah I'm fine.” 
“He’s been staring at Finn this whole time. Is the sun shining out of his ass or something?” Matt asks, adding to the teasing as he nudges Nick with his foot. 
“Alright, enough of that. I didn’t sign up to sit through an hour of teasing from the two of you.” Nick mumbles, shifting his gaze from Finn to his two brothers. As he seemingly stares daggers at the two, Finn speaks up. 
“I can smell the edits now,” Finn says with a small laugh. “Oh my God, the way he looks at him.” 
“Not you too,” Nick says, his jaw dropping slightly as he looks over at his boyfriend who’s already gazing down at him. 
“I gotta agree with Finn here. I’m gonna see a shit ton of edits of the two of you on my for you page after this episode is out.” Chris chimes in, his speech slightly muffled due to his hands covering and rubbing his face. 
“Speaking of which!” Finn exclaims with a small smile, “If you guys make any edits of Nick, tag me in them, please. I need to see every single Nick edit in existence for me to live a happy life, thank you.” 
“Baby, I'm literally right here. Why do you need to see edits of me when I'm right next to you?” Nick asks, his eyebrows furring together as a bewildered expression takes over his features. Before he allows Finn to reply, he points at his camera and says, “Do the same with me please but for Finn edits, thanks.” 
“Okay, fucking hypocrite. I was just about to defend myself but it seems like we both have the same idea.” 
“Okay but in my defense, I rarely see edits of you. I need more in my life, seriously.” 
“What the hell is this conversation?” Chris laughs, gaining a small shrug from Matt who’s simply staring at the couple in front of him in disbelief. 
“Can we go back to questioning the kid, please? Or you two to be specific?” Matt asks, chucking when Nick and Finn both stop their conversation to look over at him. 
“My bad. Go ahead with the questions.” Finn apologizes with a small giggle. 
“Alright, first question about you and Nick.” Chris begins, scrolling through his notes for a moment before continuing, “When did you two first meet? Matt and I know what went down but the fans don’t so please enlighten us.” 
“Enlighten us is crazy,” Nick mumbles, his statement earning a small chuckle from his boyfriend. 
“Do you wanna say it or should I?” Finn asks, adjusting his position on the booth slightly so he can face the male next to him. 
“You can,” Nick replies with a small smile.
Finn gently nods his head and clears his throat before he starts explaining, “So the triplets and I were invited to this large influencer party in downtown LA. When I first met Nick, I found him staring at the bottles of liquor like he was seeing colors for the first time. I asked if he needed help and he agreed and let me help him. And before you guys say anything, I made him the least alcoholic beverages possible. Anyways Nick doesn’t know this but I could see him staring at me out of the corner of my eye the whole time I was getting his drinks.” 
“YOU COULD?” Nick exclaims, his face flushing in embarrassment as he looks wide-eyed at the male next to him. 
“Yeah, I could.” Finn giggles. 
“Stop, that's so embarrassing, oh my God.” As Nick hides his face in his hands, collective laughter sounds from the three boys in the studio. 
“Hey, I was staring at you too so it’s fine.” 
“You were?” 
“Absolutely, yes. The second you left the drinking area, I purposely dragged my friends closer to the area you guys were at so I could get a better look at you.” 
“I didn’t see you when I was looking for you, though. You must’ve found a good spot.” 
“You were looking for me?” Finn smiles widely at Nick as the male’s face heats up and takes on a soft red hue. 
Nick sputters for a moment before he voices his reply, “Yeah when we were leaving.” 
“Seeing how easily Finn makes Nick all flustered like this is fucking insane to me.” Matt states as he rubs a hand over his chin. 
“You guys will definitely see more of this when we get Finn in vlogs and whatnot but this kid literally has Nick wrapped around his pinkie finger. It’s fucking hilarious.” Chris adds with a small laugh. 
“Okay, can you two shut up please? Thanks.” Nick says, subtly flipping off the two males before he turns to face Finn again. 
“They do have a point, my love. You do get flustered quite easily.” Finn says, his statement earning a hurtful expression to spread across Nick’s face. Before the male gets to retaliate, the taller grabs his face with a single hand and brings him closer to him. Nick’s face darkens a shade or two as his nose brushes against his boyfriend’s and he slowly shrinks in his seat under the male’s strong gaze. 
“CLIP THAT! CLIP THAT!” Chris exclaims as he gets out of his seat and points at the two boys a few steps away from him. 
“The editors are gonna get a kick out of this episode.” Matt says, his eyes staying fixed onto Nick who’s staring up at Finn with slightly wide eyes. 
“Nick editors to be exact.” 
“Can yall shut it please.” Nick mutters, his efforts of sounding threading failing when Finn sends him a heart melting smile. 
“Finn, you’re gonna kill him.” 
“I’m stopping, I'm stopping.” 
_______
It’s currently Monday and Nick and Finn are huddled up in the redhead’s bedroom. A random movie they both agreed to watch is playing on the television however neither of the boys are paying any attention to it. Rather, the two are too occupied in being wrapped in each other's arms under a large blanket they stole from Chris. Comfortable silence drifts between the two, the only real sound filling the room being the movie and their synced breaths. 
“The podcast episode is being released in ten minutes,” Nick mumbles, his soft voice breaking the small silence in the room. 
Finn lifts his head from his spot on Nick’s chest. “Really?” 
Nick hums in response. “That means you’re gonna have to let me get up so I can upload it.” 
Finn chuckles softly and reluctantly removes himself from Nick’s hold to sit up and lean against the headboard. He takes a moment to stretch his sore limbs before he looks over at his boyfriend who hasn’t moved from his position. “Do you want me to get your laptop or are you gonna get up?” 
Nick shifts his eyes from the television in front of him to look over at Finn. “Can you get it for me, please? I’m too comfortable.” 
“Of course, give me a second.” Nick silently watches as Finn gets out from underneath the covers and slips off the mattress. The male walks a few steps to arrive at Nick's desk and disconnects any wires connected to his laptop before picking it up and returning to bed. “Here you go, my love.” 
“Thank you, baby.” Nick sends Finn a warm smile as he hands him his laptop. It was only then that the redhead decided to sit up and lean against the headboard. As he sets his laptop on his lap and turns it on, Finn shuffles closer to the male and leans against his shoulder. “I can’t believe this is happening.” 
“What? Us coming out as a couple to the public?” 
“Yeah. Don’t get me wrong, I'm glad we’re doing this but I'm still a little nervous.” 
“I am too, but don't worry too much. We got this.” Finn sits up a little to nestle his face in the crook of Nick’s neck. The latter can’t help but tense up at the feeling of the taller peppering the side of his neck with soft and tender kisses. Nick opens his mouth to comment on his boyfriend’s behavior but cuts himself off when the male bites down on the skin under his ear.
“Finn,” Nick whines, his eyes shut tightly as he subconsciously tits his neck to the side to give the male more access to his skin. 
“Hmm?” Finn hums, his focus staying fixed on the younger’s skin in between his teeth.
“I need to upload this, you’re distracting me.” 
“Am I now?” 
“Yes you-“ Nick cuts himself off yet again when Finn begins to suck on the same area he was biting moments prior. A low groan slips out of Nick's mouth as he moves his laptop off his lap and grabs his boyfriend’s bicep. “Finn, please.” 
The latter bites down on Nick’s tender skin once more before finally stopping and pulling away. Finn eyes the area he marked for a moment and can’t help the proud smile forming on his lips as the sight of a purpling spot under the redhead’s ear. “Might need to cover that up before we go downstairs.” Finn says as he rubs over the area with his index finger. 
“You’re helping me.” Nick grumbles as he grabs his laptop and pulls it back on his lap. “I’m getting your aas back for this by the way.” 
“I’d like to see you try.” Nick looks over at Finn and takes in his cocky grin. The male can’t help but scoff softly at the sight and returns to uploading the podcast episode. It only takes about five minutes for Nick to upload the video and when he’s done, he softly shuts his laptop and sets it on the nearby nightstand. 
“I’d like to try now.” 
_____
“Guys the fans are going fucking insane. I swear i’ve never seen so many fan pages edit a video of ours so quick-“ Matt starts as he opens the door to Nick’s room. He quickly shuts his mouth and stares wide-eyed at the two shirtless males on the bed, the only thing covering their lower halves being the blanket they were using earlier. Nick quickly slips off Finn and looks over at Matt who’s standing in the doorway, his face flush in embarrassment. 
“Matt! Fucking knock!” Nick exclaims as he pulls the blanket up to his chest. 
“My bad. I'm gonna go bleach my eyes now.” Matt sputters, his words mumbling together as he quickly exits the room and loudly shuts the door behind him. 
“God, that kid.” As Nick lets out a heavy exhale, he looks over at Finn who’s still lying on his back.
He takes a moment to stare at the male while his eyes are still shut and allows his eyes to wander down to his slightly parted lips which are taking in heavy inhales of air, his chest rapidly rising in the process. Nick’s eyes eventually wander to the taller’s hair, which is a lot messier considering what they were doing before they got interrupted. Before he allows his gaze to wander down to his exposed chest, Nick quickly rips his gaze away when Finn opens his eyes. 
“We should do this more often.” Finn breathes out as he blinks up at the male hovering over him. 
“Are you sure about that? I don't think you could go for much longer considering how fucked you look right now.”
“Oh, I looked fucked right now?” As Nick hums softly in response, Finn sits up slightly and leans against his arms, the crown of his head inches away from the headboard of the bed. As the taller gazes up at his boyfriend, he can’t help but let his eyes wander down to his chest. “Wait, I just realized you don’t have a shirt on.” 
“Oh,” Nick quickly looks down at his torso and peeks into the gap made from the blanket covering the majority of his upper half. “Yeah, I don't.” 
As Nick looks back over at Finn, a confused expression overtakes his features at the sight of the taller’s wide smile. “Why are you smiling so hard?” 
“Well it’s just that you’ve always been so huge on keeping a shirt on and not allowing anyone to see you shirtless and the fact that you are currently topless is just making me a little happy. You know,  because you were comfortable enough to take your tank top off and be bare during what we just did.” 
“Oh,” Nick mumbles again, a single arm raising to rub his nape. “Yeah, I do feel quite comfortable with you now. Besides, I feel like if we’re going to have 
sex or make out then I can't have my shirt on.” 
Finn’s eyebrows furrow at Nick’s last statement and he quickly sits upright. “Love, you know you don’t have to feel obligated to not have a top on when we do this shit right?” Silence falls over the two boys for a moment.
At the sight of Nick forcing his lips together and looking off to the side, Finn heavily sighs and leans his head against the male’s shoulder. “Sweetheart, if we’re going to have sex or shit like that, it is completely okay with me if you want to keep your clothes on. It’s not like I'm going to get upset or anything. I want you to be comfortable, okay?” 
“Okay.” When Nick turns his head to look over at Finn, the latter immediately captures his lips with his for a quick kiss. When the taller pulls away, he removes himself from his boyfriend’s shoulder and begins patting the area around him. “What are you doing?” Nick asks, his eyebrows knitting together as he watches the male slip his hand under the blanket. 
“I wanna see the feedback from the podcast episode. Matt said the fans are flipping their shit and I wanna see it for myself.” Finn replies, momentarily shifting his gaze to look at Nick before he pulls his phone out from under the blanket. As Nick gently nods his head with a small hum, Finn situates himself back against his shoulder and unlocks his phone. “I’m gonna check Tiktok first.” 
Finn spins his thumb around a few times as his eyes scan his lock screen for the said app and when he finally finds it, he clicks it open. It didn’t take a single scroll from the male for a video of himself and Nick to pop up on his feed. Immediately, the room fills with the sound of both boys talking with Daylight by Taylor Swift playing softly in the back. 
“I’m just really grateful that I met Nick at that party. At the time, I was struggling mentally, obviously, it wasn’t shown on social media and I tried my best to now show it either, but when I met him I just felt all my worries and shit wash away. He brings me such peace and happiness and seeing him nearly every single day just makes me so fucking happy. Honest to God, I don’t know what I would be doing if I never went to that bar that night.” Finn says, his eyes not breaking away from Nick’s as he looks at the male with a loving and heart-stuck gaze. 
“God don’t even get me started with how amazing a boyfriend he is. I swear he knows me better than I know myself. He knows me like the back of his hand and immediately knows if something is up just by looking at me. He’s so caring and sweet and I need to figure out how to repay him because he’s just so fucking amazing.” 
“Oh, cut the bullshit.” Nick states, his eyes rolling rather playfully before he shifts his eyes up back to Finn’s, “I haven’t really been in a proper relationship before so all this shit is new to me, and still kinda is in a sense, but I appreciate how Finn takes things so slow with me. Like when we first started dating yes we kissed and whatnot but it was slow like how we both agreed on. He didn’t overstep any of my boundaries and constantly asked me if what he was doing was okay with me physical touch wise and always asked if I was comfortable. I couldn’t be more thankful for how patient he was with me. I could go on a whole fucking tangent about how much I care and appreciate this kid but I think I’d need a whole other podcast episode for that.” 
“Might as well give you guys another episode to gush about each other,” Chris says with a chuckle. 
“Well, the next podcast episode will be a Nick and Finn exclusive guys! Be on the lookout for it.” Matt exclaims as he points at the camera in front of him. 
“Okay, don’t put that out there. Doing this shit was anxiety-inducing enough. We’ll feed the people when we feed like feeding them.” Nick says, his statement earning a small head nod from Finn. 
“Nick and Finn content soon guys!” Finn exclaims with a wide smile.
The TikTok continues for a little while longer with various clips of the couple being shown as Daylight plays more loudly. Nick and Finn take a moment to scroll through the latter’s for you page, the sight of the support from hundreds of fan pages bringing large smiles to their faces. 
“I think this was a success, don’t you think?” Finn asks as he shuts his phone off and reaches over to set it on the nightstand.
“I completely agree,” Nick replies with a small head nod. As Finn returns to his previous spot against the headboard, Nick wordlessly moves the blanket further down his legs to lay down on his lap. “Should we do a photo dump later?” 
“If you want, it’s your call.” Nick nods his head and abruptly stops when Finn begins to card his fingers through his hair. The redhead can’t help but the large smile creeping onto his lips as he subconsciously leans into his boyfriend’s hand, his actions drawing a smile from the taller who’s gazing down at him. 
“Thank you for being with me.” 
“Oh, Nick.” Finn bends down to land a soft kiss on Nick’s temple. “I should be thanking you, to be honest.” 
“Yeah, yeah,” Nick mumbles. The male takes a moment to flip onto his stomach and bury his face in Finn’s bare thigh. “Let me be sappy please.” 
Finn softly laughs at the male, “Alright, alright.” 
As Nick begins to land light kisses on Finn’s thigh, the latter begins to drag his fingertips up and down the younger’s bare back. The moment Nick feels the male’s fingers lightly brush against his skin, he tenses up with a choked giggle. 
“Finn…” Nick warns, “Don’t fucking start I swear to God.” 
“I’m not doing anything?” Finn asks, his eyebrows furrowing in pure confusion as he dips his head down to glance at the male in his lap. 
“Finn, you know damn well what you’re doing.” 
“Do you want me to stop? I will if you want me to.” 
“No, no!” Nick quickly reaches an arm back to grab Finn’s hand when he pulls away. “I didn’t mean to sound harsh or anything, I promise. It just feels really weird.” 
“Oh,” Finn mumbles with a small chuckle. “So can I continue?” When Nick nods his head and returns to his spot in Finn’s thigh, the latter continues his previous actions. 
The two sat there for the remainder of the day, their energy levels boosted up to the max simply by being in each other’s presence. Both boys finally had a weight they’d had on their shoulders for a month lifted off their backs and they couldn’t be happier. They finally felt free to do whatever they wanted couple-wise and knew that the fans would eat up all the content they gave them. They were forever grateful for the fans and made sure they were plenty aware of the fact through a few ‘thank you’ posts made on their public stories. 
In all, both Finn and Nick continued to stay happy with one another. They relied on each other constantly and were always there for one another. Nothing was getting in between the couple, their bond was simply unbreakable. Yes, they still had a long way to go in terms of their relationship but they were very content with where they are right now. Considering how the full story of how these two boys met and stole each other's hearts has finally ended on a happy note, most would believe that this would be the end. 
But that is not the case for Nick and Finn. 
Who says that there will stop being more content just because their series has ended? Their story has just started!

I know this is a very vague request and im really sorry in advance 😭… do you think you could write some headcanons/reactions for wayv? I noticed that most nct content is for dream, sometimes 127, and rarely my wayv boys and i LOVE them 😮‍💨, i dont really have a concept in mind i would prefer if it was made with a female reader in mind but gender neutral works just as well, and idk maybe a little bit suggestive if youre in the mood for it?? Idk anyways thanks for listening and im sorry im not giving you much to work with :)
+ OMG OK I JUST SENT IN A VAGUE REQUEST FOR WAYV BUT I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING NOW, idk if you’ll see this but do you think you could do wayvs reaction to a female reader whos more dominant, not necessarily in the bedroom sense (although that too) but just someone who looks more feminine but automatically takes on more masculine gender roles in a relationship like being big spoon, or bringing home the bag, or being the one to take care of things and fix things? Again i don’t necessarily mean in a sexual way just more in a general relationship because i know you said you werent confident/comfortable writing nsfw stuff, but if you wanted to take a more suggestive route too i wouldnt be mad, youre the writer here, im just here to support 💗, thank you again!
A/N - Not me having a whole-ass brain fart on gender roles as I wrote this🤪but ohhhohoo I love this idea!!! I'm sorry it took forever :( also some of these are longer than others, I apologize. But I still hope you enjoy 💛 Thank you for the request, Love!
WORDCOUNT - 1,165
WARNINGS - F!reader, suggestive if you squint from the other side of the galaxy??
Tumblr media
Kun
you had told him that you were quite independent from the beginning of your relationship
perhaps you hadn't been persuasive enough, or it didn't register in Kun's head...
because when he comes home from tour, he doesn't expect to find you in the kitchen, cursing under your breath with your head ducked beneath the sink
it appears you're too busy groveling at the plumbing to notice his presence, the clanking of metal on metal hitting his ears
"What... are you doing?" is followed by a thud! and another hushed curse as you emerge from the cabinet, rubbing at the crown of your head with a grimace
you're met with warm hands and a concerned gaze as you straighten up, adjustable wrench in your grip
"The shut-off valve for the cold water failed," you wipe the sweat from your brow, eyeing the small space you have to work with under the sink, "so I went and picked up replacements for both."
and Kun's just standing there like 'woah, babe, go off'
but also a little worried
cue the "shouldn't we call a plumber", and the "are you sure's"
it's not that he believes you're incapable, far from it!
he's just got no clue about the tricks of that trade lmao
asks if you need help
will literally sit by and watch like a curious Retriever whether you need extra hands or not (without being in the way, of course)
he has no idea where your confidence comes from when it comes to these types of things, but it's kinda... 😏
you finish the job in two hours, checking for any leaks after you turn the water back on and let the water flow through the pipes to clear the air in the lines
after this, he quickly adapts to you taking lead around the house with similar things
he's so used to being the leader/taking lead on so many things that it's so refreshing for him.
you're just the type to say "Hey, I've got it!" with no expectations
he's gonna find his ways of thanking you for the things you do btw
cooking you dinner, cleaning the entire house, buying you something you've been eyeing for forever.
also lives and breaths you cuddling him
back hugs, waking up to you pulling him back into your arms before you're both falling asleep again
this man is so content being little spoon if it means you're right there
Tumblr media
Ten
totally into it!
I'd bet that this man goes full doting boyfriend
probably the most curious out of all the guys
would be super invested if you were an HVAC technician or something just because of how physically demanding the job is
asks you if he could tag along to work one day like an excited child
to which you tell him that it's not as exciting for him to watch considering most of the job is you crawling into tight spaces
like you'd literally be in some dusty attic, sweltering as you work
it happens anyways, because you find that your HVAC unit is outdated, so naturally, you choose to update it yourself
cue a sneaky head peeking around the corner every chance he gets because, contrary to what you had said, Ten is very entertained
the man has the biggest heart eyes for you through the entire process - which is roughly 6 hours
"your attention to detail is beyond admirable!"
"I'd say it's necessary when I'm working with electrical, Babe."
wants to learn how to do whatever it is you're working on
doesn't matter what it is you're doing
soaks up whatever you teach him
mans is a whole sponge istg
at the same time he's absolutely gonna tell you to keep being the boss-ass bitch that you are
Tumblr media
WinWin
supportive but a lil insecure :(
like he loves you loads, supports you 100% in all that you do
but sometimes it'll make him feel like he's not doing enough in terms of your relationship
I don't see the insecurity coming from your confidence of taking on a more masculine role, but more out of worrying that his time is so limited with you and around the house so when he is home, he feels like it's not enough
feels like he shouldn't tell you at first
like it sounds a little like an excuse to be an ass
but eventually thinks it's the best thing for your relationship
y'all take communication so seriously so why start holding back over something like this
you're quick to reassure him that he does more than enough
like sir, sit down and kick your feet up, you literally do so much for me, I will write you a whole list rn
it works to a certain extent, so you offer him some options "to make up for it" cough I'll leave this up to interpretation💀
fair to say that all is better with a little communication
Tumblr media
Xiaojun
I say this solely for his safety and benefit
do not, under any circumstances, let this man know you can do some of the things that you're capable of!!
boy is too petty and competitive to have this knowledge
I feel like he'd be the type to see you so confidently take care of yard work and the next week turns into a competition of who can complete said tasks better
he wouldn't do it to make you feel less than, or to put you in your place (as if you wouldn't set his ass straight)
he's just a little dramatic
a lil competitive
he loses almost every time 😔
either makes excuses for it ("I didn't know there were levels to the lawn mower", "the handle on my rake was broken") or stays quiet
will be whiny for a few days afterwards
you have no issue giving him something to whine about-
Tumblr media
Hendery
full cheerleader mode!!
he literally grew up with three sisters, ain't no way he's gonna be against a strong and independent woman doing her thing
is the best assistant when you need an extra set of hands
literally the kid that holds dad's flashlight while dad fixes the car except you don't have to remind him to hold it steady
he's on top of it, baby 😎
mans takes this as seriously as performing open-heart surgery
I'm talking brows set in concentration and hands as steady as my granny threading a needle (that woman was so talented)
tools are in your hand before you've even finished telling him what you need
bro is just that good
loves helping you to the point that when you don't need his help, he's just a pouty boy in the corner
like Kun and Ten, he'll just watch and cheer you on in those instances
he is the ultimate ally
Tumblr media
YangYang
I could see him drawn toward a woman who takes initiative in a relationship
probably finds it attractive as hell
at the same time, I could see him not caring much about traditional gender roles
sees it as a social construct that is meant to be broken
he digs how dynamic you can be in any situation, definitely!
that said, he is the reason you fix so many things 🧍🏻‍♀️
listen, him being your boyfriend does not guarantee your safety from The Menace™
feels bad about it sometimes
but like... you never complain
YangYang swears he's a magnet for finding patient people that can tolerate his antics
which is exactly why he's wrapped around your finger

i’ve been hitting my cart to fall asleep so i can get through these days as fast as possible. getting high is the only thing i can cling onto anymore, it gives my life the interest and color i’ve been needing currently. i was on the right track to quitting but i guess ive crashed back into it.
i wonder. if we were still friends would i be over at your house right now? would you be at mine? would i be miserable? or would we be cuddling? i’m not the type of person to confront my thoughts. i let them decide for me, i let them take over because i tend to believe they’re in my best interest. if you ask me for the reason i dropped you, id tell you it’s because i didn’t want you to leave me, but honestly i did it out of instinct. it was one day in february, a switch flipped in my mind and i put no effort into turning it back on.
i guess i realized it wasn’t just the two of us anymore, everytime id come over there’d be 5 extra people invading our space. i only loved you when i was alone with you so i always wanted you to myself. i have no idea why that is. it’s not like i was in love with you or something. :/ but all these people i’ve done wrong, i never did it out of spite or hate. i did it because i don’t know how to fully let someone in.
dont be mistaken, i’m still very evil. ;3
an example of my evilness: one day i’ll confess my undying love for you, and the next i’ll completely forget about it. interest can spark inside of me which will usually burn out fast. the only rare exception is when it doesn’t. my fps. the ones i’ve loved so heavily i could easily set the world on fire for them. obsession taken way too far. but i’ll always have a soft spot for my favorite people. they know my chaos.
in the paragraph you sent me before you blocked me, you told me my only motivation is male validation. honestly, yeah. i agree. i wouldn’t call it validation, but something similar. anyway it’s not like it’s something i can control.
when i was younger i had devoted my soul to my dad out of fear and possibly a little trust. every time i did something wrong in his eyes, my body would shut down and i was unable to feel or think anything. soulless. a certain type of numbness where i could practically feel a reaper touching me. one upsetting response from him and my purpose was ripped out of my chest. even if his demeanor was off, if he was driving a little faster and a little more aggressive, i could immediately feel his mood switch—which would end up causing mine. i felt this feeling again yesterday, over something so small. i was telling my aunt how i applied for a job and he immediately said no in a stern ass voice and shook his head. that shut me the fuck up because i could already feel it flushing into me. a weird feeling of confusion has always come along with this numbness, because i can never truly understand what makes him so upset. he was asking me if i wanted to apply at starbucks the night before? maybe it’s because i applied for the job my mom wanted me to do. actually yeah that’s probably it. my dad’s always been so jealous of her because ‘i treat her better than him.’ it’s totally true, i do, but that’s because she was always there to hold me when i cried and she took the time to understand my soft spots. she tells me she loves me everyday, while i don’t have a memory of my dad saying i love you.
so that’s it. that’s all i want from men. i know now, i don’t crave their validation, i crave their care. their sincerest love. i really yearn for someone to put their hand on my head and pull me into a hug every time they noticed i looked a little empty. someone who doesn’t become demented or begin ignoring me when i mess up. someone who will stay by my side even if i reject them just because they know me better than anyone, someone who doesn’t let me push them away. someone who’d never get tired of dealing with my guilty tears. someone who would rather hold my hand than stick it in. ugh. unconditional love.
and basically, i guess id do anything for this kind of care. i’ve fucked plenty of people over just to experience it, even if all of it was bound to end up temporary. but, of course, all that it did was remove more people from my life. make me more lonely. i’m begging please don’t blame me forever. i hope you understand this uncontrollable urge is not something im close to mastering. when im attached, i would rather rip all of my hair out before i allow you to slip through my fingertips, even if i just met you a day ago. when i start seriously thinking about someone, there’s absolutely no going back. until i break and my brain becomes weak from allowing the thoughts to consume it. just thinking about a guy’s potential in caring for me so gently gets me messed tf up. that’s why i try to see guys as weird creatures so i don’t get attached to any. my lips feel like poison, causing damage is all i’ve ever known.
but, i know im young. the so called “men” im talking about are actually boys. when i grow wiser and develop into somebody i can actually be proud of, i can only pray that god will bless me with this type of undying love.
god please please please give me your strength

ALSO wendy and bebe playing just dance as seriously as stan and kyle play guitar hero. AND kyle having a heavy jersey accent when he’s mad and not noticing, and tweek having super dialated pupils but really baggy eyes. and. and and and adopted craig, chubby stan, and their town looking exactly like Crested Butte, Colorado. (edit waaaa: i forgot peruvian craig isnt canon but that is also a really good one)
au//tropes;.. zombie apocalypse aus (angst yummm), 2000s scene/emo aus, bakery aus, summer vacation aus, any au involving the foreign kids (pip, gregory, estella etc etc), adventure tropes, platonic sleepover tropes, post covid, and theatre // musical tropes and aus.

thank god we're talking about Mick in Mercedes because that's all i live for
are you a mind reader? because i was JUST thinking about sending you an ask with the same idea. literally. the same idea
i was thinking that maybe in this AU Lewis is a switch so he doesn't need you as much, and sweet George has finally reach a healthy balance being under your care. but now there's Mick!!!
he doesn't wanna be a bother, even if you reassure him time after time that you're here to take care of him and look after him. just like you said, he comes out of his shell after a couple of months and I think a big part of that is because the team is truly a family that makes him feel loved and welcomed
i belive Toto is a great boss, and in this AU after you tell him the problem he makes sure that Mick is well treated. Toto trusts you 150% for this job, and despite being your boss, follow your orders suggestions so that Mick has more confidence in himself and in his position in the team
I have many more ideas but I have to go so I'll write more in a couple of hours!!!
-🌻
Oh my god yes!! I'm so happy we all seem to love this concept because I cant stop thinking about it and am in need of much, much, more content about it!!! Please everyone send me your thoughts on this it's my current obsession.
I definitely agree that Lewis would be a switch, and maybe actually a dom leaning switch? And poor Georgie absolutely would take a long time to get used to you, but by this point he's had a whole season with you so he's so much better now. And he also does quite a few seasons with Lewis now, so you just sit them down after your first scene with Mick and tell them that you need them to scene together and have less time with you because you need to focus on Mick.
For a moment you worry that they might be upset, but actually they're both just so worried about Mick? Especially George, because he's been through that before but at least he had SOME support and it seems like Mick had absolutely none. So they both just want you to put all your energy into Mick and making sure that he's okay.
Which is exactly what you do.
The entire team focuses on Mick actually. They all tend to follow your lead about how to treat their drivers, because they know that you know what they need best. So when they see you giving Mick extra attention, always checking in on him and hugging him and praising him... they just immediately start to do the same.
And Mick is just SO overwhelmed with all the love and support he's receiving? Because he's gone from being on his own to being surrounded by love and care and the poor thing doesnt even know what to do with himself.
Of course you have to sit Toto down and tell him all about your concerns about Mick and what you think needs to happen in the future. Toto, bless him, just nods and agrees with everything you say because he's learnt that the best way to look after his drivers is just to agree with whatever you want.
(To be entirely honest, Toto is mildly terrified of the power you have because you literally have control over all of his drivers, so he just agrees with you always)
Mick cant believe how much you love and support him? The entire team helps him, always checking in and genuinely listening to him and making sure he gets enough time with you.
And Mick just... absolutely thrives? Suddenly he's smiling and laughing and joking again. He submits so beautifully to you, always, but seeing the joy begin to return to his eyes as you scene with him is incredible.
All he really needs is some love and care.
With George, it was all about isolating him and making him feel safe with you, providing him with a space where no one can reach him.
But it's the opposite with Mick. With Mick, you cant take him away from everyone, because he desperately needs the sense of community and support that he gets from being around the entire team. You need to make sure that you dont make him feel isolated from everyone.
Which is why I think that eventually, he would start wanting to scene with Lewis and George? He wants connections and community and to feel safe and loved, like he belongs.
(Please send me more thoughts)

Ok first off i wanna say i love aws! SO to say I was very nervous when you started uploading the sequel was an understatement bc. The premise scared me!!! I did enjoy awr but at some parts it felt rushed :/ aws felt more robust with the things that happened. In some chapters it felt like things were rushing for the plot to start unraveling and once it did it felt as if we weren’t delving into the actions of reader/billy. And honestly i didn’t like the ending (ik i’m the worst!) i just expected. More??? I don’t see where billy really understands/feels remorse for whats happened to reader. I didn’t feel like he took any accountability towards how she had to be because of him. It felt like reader grew a LOT and billy just. Didn’t. I would have also liked to see more about billy in regards to how he felt. Like his scars never come up in depth, the idea of reader not being who billy wants visually is touched upon but i would have liked to see the tables turned. It never felt like reader was in charge, even when she was traveling in the last chapter, it felt like billy was repeatedly coming to her rescue which i HATED cause reader is so headstrong! Maybe this is so extra but i also thought that maybe reader would have known fisk bc i vaguely remember her life in chicago was one of survival so i was hoping she would be the one to get them out the mud (seeing that it was billy who ultimately saves her from krista..) even down to the phone call where he finally answers and it’s krista. I wanted billy and reader to really sift thru the dirt of their relationship but i just didn’t feel that :( and some parts just made me think that you really wanted to just finish the story. I would have even loved Billy having a heart to heart w frank or curtis… maybe even davina bc it just felt like every interaction with reader he was hostile to addressing how much damage he truly did to reader. The gala chapter & chapter 11 were my favorite though. Please dont hate Me haq :( i know a lot of people tapped out of the sequel early. But i love reader and billy so much. Now for my second message where i tell u everything i loved
I don't hate you. it's okay to be disappointed, your feelings are valid!
The only thing I can really say is that AWR was never about Billy's growth, it was always about the Reader. Billy's growth was captured in AWS but in terms of an emotional growth he reached his limits in that story. He fell in love with someone who saw teh real him and his whole trajectory changed. In AWR, he shifted sideways when he returned to his immature self and it was about getting him back to being the person he was in the end of AWS. Even him giving Reader space at the end of AWR wasn't him. That kind of love is not organic to him, and it took everything he had to be able to do that. I think that's the most we could expect out of him. He's not a good guy. He never will be. His life begins and ends with Reader and all he wants from this life is for their path to be inextricably linked.
I know my readers wanted him to grovel, to show remorse for who he was after the accident – but here’s the thing, he legitimately did not see that guy as himself. In his mind they were two different people. He can’t and won’t admit to being who that guy was. Because the guy after the accident was someone who never fell in love with Reader, and Billy is who he is now *because* of Reader. There is no him without her.
Reader, OTOH, had always thought her life would end if she ever lost the happiness she shared with Billy. I wanted to convey that even though life would be difficult again, and she’d go through a lot of grief (which wouldn’t always be linear), she would come to realize she *could* be happy again. His loss would be a devastating one but she could survive, and she could even thrive. In the end when she had time and space away from him, she realized she’d started to believe he was AWS Billy again and she chose to be with him on her own terms.
I think maybe why AWR didn’t live up to your expectations was because you, and maybe others, wanted me to show their love for each other was unconditional. But I genuinely don’t believe Billy and Reader’s love is unconditional.
They love each other only and as long as they’re on the same wavelength. They love each other on their own terms, and anything that threatens it (i.e Billy changing into someone else) means that love ends.
In AWS, they fell in love despite themselves. At the end of AWR, she chose that love. I’m probably doing a horrible job of explaining this – lol
I hope AWR didn’t sour you on AWS. If it helps, and I’m not sure it will, this is how I look at it - Billy can’t have a life without Reader. But Reader can, she just chooses to be with him because he truly makes her happy. If he was a different man, she wouldn’t love him.
Thank you so much!

hi!!!! sending you a message to say hello!!!! hope youre doin ok!! i dont know if asks are a good way of talkin to people but if you want to just talk about something i am curious to know what the heck beavis and butthead even is hahahaaa
hello!!! thank you so much 🩷💖🩷 I'm doing fine trying to derail my one track mind! (lyrics)
okay sure! So Beavis and Butthead originally started as a single short from Mike judge called "frog baseball" that was played on MTV's "liquid television", which was an animation showcase at the time
(another cartoon that I love that started out there was aeon flux! the live action movie is awful, the later seasons aren't quite like the original shorts, but the og shorts are MAGICALLLLL)
because of that shorts popularity, MTV ended up ordering a series out of it and Mike judge didn't really know what he was doing at the time. he had just graduated with a degree in physics but he found the field very boring and once he saw some animation cells he decided to get a camera and get into it himself.
so this opportunity was one of his very first steps into big time animation. he had made an animated short right before called office space which ended up becoming the big movie office space too!
Beavis and Butthead at its core is really just about like I think the most low brow basic but still funny jokes that like we all make as people? like. that's what she said, but without that's what she said. giggling at funny words and laughing at toilet humor and seeing the stupidity and things but not vilifying them? there's stuff that we all do and stuff that we all laugh at and Beavis and butthead is a really fun way at showing it. they were like the blueprint for a lot of formats and a lot of things we find funny and a lot of successful low brow jokes
something special to this season alone is the development of the characters and additional information about how they would feel about things happening? in the original it was very you get what you see and you see what you get and the boys would just behave certain ways and you could speculate a lot on their behavior. but now we're being given a lot of fun little tidbits from other characters and other sources, like if Beavis died, then Butthead would be so sad that he would die of grief a few days later. whereas before they've been quick to say that they're not really friends and that they don't really care about each other, even though you know it's not true and you know deep down that they do care about each other and that they need each other, It's kind of interesting that we're getting confirmations of extra information. Even though you didn't really need it for that interpretation to be valid to begin with.
It's fun to have something so stupid, but also have an extra layer of meaning on it because like even if they're stupid or degenerate or whatever (The truth is they are that way because they were abandoned but that's not the focus of the show) they're still people and they still go through life and they still have to live it and it's fun to get to watch them see how they would do it because they end up having these really awful shitty lives that they somehow managed to find a lot of joy and peace and contentment with and I guess that aspect of it is what really hits home for me even if I think that's an unintended but pleasant side effect

Melia and Ren for that character thing?
YES. i got a shiny wooper seven encounters in which is great but fucking.. i want title + humongo boosts. so im going for another one. my sandwich ran out for the 1/500 odds, ugh
first up is melia
First impression
its been a looong time since ive FIRST played rejuv so inaccuracies either stem from old versions or bad memory.
i was able to tell that melia was a character that would quickly be killed off, but i didnt correctly guess the reason why. i thought it was a cheap shot to gather sympathy. i dont remember whether i was able to predict her coming back, though. hmm
Impression now
well now i really will be upset if something happens to her! genesis syndrome is no joke, considering its labeled with body failure in multiple areas. i do wonder if its her shiny powers that caused this, her stronger abilities, or something else (my theory of her being half of a person comes back to mind...)
Favorite moment
i want her to chew out the space hags more. holy shit, please. also, the rehauled doomed future was so cool for her character... that brief segment in zeight where she met little baby venam was just.. ugh. sweet. and the talk with emma and the first (?) appearance of variya was very cool. a huge favorite
Idea for a story
unsure of what to do with this beyond stating what i would enjoy seeing in canon. and thats! i really want more stormchaser stuff especially with Her. im not sure if she has had the chance to properly confront anyone after learning about project: rapture.
Unpopular opinion
beating a dead horse but i am wholly convinced that anyone who says she is a mary sue did not play the game, holy shit. reading comprehension for a lot of people who play this game is zero.
i suppose on another note.. i really liked the fairy tale field melia fight. yes, it was hard, but i definitely think that was the point. i also enjoy how it may allude to the pangoro and zorua story from the beginning, with it being a fairy tale.
Favorite relationship
she and venam, of course. i hope venam manages to recover and shake off the innate need to try and be overtly mature, because its definitely hurting their relationship a little bit. that being said, that little conversation with the trio in the third layer on the matter was so sweet.
Favorite headcanon
uh im not too familiar with many headcanons, but do you want to know a fact and a theory? in very old versions of rejuv, melia managed to throw a xen grunt who tried to grab her.. very far! i want to believe this is a manifestation of her archetype powers showing up very early. more specifically, i think she was using seismic toss!
Tumblr media
these two moves are level 0 for arceus. i might be reading too much into it, but with what i know now, i thought it was foreshadowing.
next up is ren! jesus i type a lot
First impression
i honestly dont remember. i think i thought he was dumb because he had a froakie. i really like greninja now so that proves how long ago i first played lol
Impression now
hes still dumb but i say this in an affectionate way! also i love robots! im really gonna be sad if he ditches that body in the future lol. understandable but sobs
Favorite moment
he has a lot of good lines. but my favorite will always be the cupcake conversation
NASTASIA: Sigh… It would be easier to just redirect your captures to [PN]'s storage line, rather than linking it. But what do I get out of this? REN: How about my undying appreciation and gratitude? REN: Alright fine, you can have my salted caramel cupcake with extra sprinkles. REN: It's on the top row of the fridge, behind the eggs. NASTASIA: This is acceptable. I'll get right on it. REN: Thanks 'Stasiaaaaa.
Idea for a story
begging on my hands and knees for more of him and nastasia . even if its just a littol bit. they are so nice together...
Unpopular opinion
he is a lot more dorky than he is edgy (especially during/after v11), and i feel like a lot of the fanbase forgets that. i love the edgy art, but i want to see more dorky art too.
Favorite relationship
you already know it, its him and nastasia. most fucked up bring your kid to work day dynamic ever. but he and reina are also extremely funny together. i have comic ideas for them but zzz
Favorite headcanon
i dunno many headcanons, honestly.. uh.. how about that he dons the cape just because it looks cool? as far as i know he doesnt have the need to hide his wings, afaik they just shift into his body/dematerialize/whatever..

its midnight for me but i must scoob and shag. OK SO I WANNA ADD SOMETHING I JUDT NOTICED. i was gonna go on about the beings but im looking at the scene with Deedee and. She touches a glass wall. Its very VERY obvioudly pointed out to us- Deedee spends FOUR panels examining it, pointing it out to the viewer.
The only other time we see this, in relations to the color beings, is in Screen, chapter #102, where we get confirmation that Mickey has the red being's blessing. We see Minnie on the other side of that glass, so i really do think Mickey just sacrificed her or something for the red being's blessing.
ALSO the sound effect that plays when Deedee gets the blessing is the exact same as scoob's (BA-BUMP)! So yeah, Scoob has Cyan. Ok now going off of that, Bugs has Magenta on her side, and reading her dialogue when it's "revealed" (chapter 100), it does seem she at least wants to help unite the toones and martians to kick mick's ass. Im guessing she made some sort of speech to the martians that moved Magenta the same way Deedee did? I also find it kinda interesting how the being speaks in another language and has to be translated through closed caption. Did all the beings talk like this? How did the deals get made without anyone understanding eachother?
ALSO I THINK CYAN'S THING IS MEMORIES. We know Scoob also had his memories wiped right? But i dont think the scene where Shag is dying is where the deal is made actually! In chapter 82, theres ONE panel that has color! A small, cyan star, while everyone is falling through space. After that? Cyan sunflowers. And its the scene that we flash back to when Scoob, as im gonna guess, reconnects to Cyan's blessing and gets his memories back. Maybe not 'memories' exactly, but new beginnings? im not sure, Scoob absolutely has the connection to Cyan when the sunflowers show up. Im not exactly sure of what it means exactly, but Scoob absolutely did SOMETHING in that moment to save everyone and cause the sunflowers to pop up. Maybe its a side effect of him not using his ballyhoo bc of the mind wipe? Honestly if we get another shot of all those sunflowers wilted and dead as Scoob uses his ballyhoo id consider it to 100% be the case. IM GONNA LOOK THRU THE WHOLE COMIC AND SEE IF THERES ANY OTHER COLORS POPING UP BC IM CURIOUS NOW,,,
HI IT'S MIDNIGHT FOR ME AS WELL BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW I AM GOING FERAL HOLY SHIT. I am a very sleeby sleeby mans but also? Scoob and Shag fuels me. I don't think I have much to add now b/c it's reaching the time of night where my brain gets extra mushy, but YOOOOOOO-
First, YEAH that glass wall is something I'm still really intrigued by. I went back and looked at that update once you pointed it out, and I'm thinking this ties back to what you were talking about before, in general with the meta narrative going on here. I think that glass wall is perhaps some kind of TV screen. Do I have evidence for this? Not really, but I think that'd be an interesting way to tie everything together. Also don't have much in the way of thoughts on the implications for that, but anyway.
Next, I 100% agree that Minnie being sacrificed in some way for Mickey to get Red's blessing is what happened, or at least it was something along those lines. Why he did this, though, I think could MAYBE be tied to some of his dialogue in the flashback with Gerald--I find it really interesting when he was talking about bringing back the dead and wanting to be as powerful as a god. While most of that was definitely tailored to getting Gerald to do his bidding, taking advantage of Gerald's grief for Arnold, I think it's an interesting angle to take.
We know Mickey is very manipulative, but it's just interesting and stands out to me that that's the specific angle he uses. If nothing else, I think it's possible that he could've used Minnie's presumed death as a way to get Gerald to trust him--I'm gonna go ahead and assume that Minnie's cause of death isn't known to most people, and Mickey could have framed her death as another tragedy that he is looking to reverse, rather than something he very likely was responsible for. (Also random side-note but the symbolism of the trapped fly in that particular chapter is interesting to me too. Just wanted to mention that.)
Anyway yeah okay the sound effect is also an interesting point--it's clear there's some kind of connection intended there, and the connection being that they've both made some sort of deal with these beings makes the most sense. I am also intrigued by the point you mentioned--Deedee specifically was able to understand Magenta because of her Ballyhoo, and before she uses it, there's no way for her (or us, the viewer) to understand what they're saying. However, I think it's possible that the other characters were still able to make deals, and that's because using the term "deal" is a bit inaccurate here. If we assume that Deedee's interaction with Magenta is standard, then she didn't really offer anything in return or even have to speak. She was granted Magenta's powers because Magenta was moved by her situation. So, we could make the jump that that's what happened with Bugs and Scoob as well.
Though, if Mickey intentionally sought out Red's powers and may have sacrificed Minnie to obtain them, that does complicate things, but on that note I'm just gonna say we don't know enough to make definitive conclusions, and since Mickey is shown to use others' Ballyhoos to accomplish his ends, he might've found a way to interpret the being somehow. (I'm not saying he used Deedee here, to be clear--I'm just saying I wouldn't put it past him to have figured something out.)
ANYWAY okay I said I wasn't going to add much and then I went off the shits huh. But yeah anyway I think you're onto something as well with Cyan being related to memories--I've mentioned the fucking cyan flowers thing so many times because I wasn't sure how it connected, but you're right that that's NOT the first instance of cyan as a color appearing. It appears at the end of the chapter before, a small light in the darkness. Man, I even remember losing my shit over this at the time it came out, wondering what it all means. (Also yeah lmao I've been following this comic since before the Coward King arc, I just never posted about it 'cause I didn't know if there was a fandom at all. I think I specifically started reading soooometime after Bugs first showed up? But before Mickey, so. Hm)
ANYWAY YEAH I THINK THE DEAL BEING MADE DURING THE COWARD KING ARC MAKES THE MOST SENSE.... oops caps. But yeah, thematically and taking the memory wipes into account, it makes more sense that the deal was made long before Scoob was first able to use those powers. Which, actually, would make Scoob the first to have made a deal that we're aware of. Mickey didn't have red eyes in the Coward King arc, and color is only introduced at the very end. Considering Mickey was in containment for 15 years, the deal had to have been made during that time. Whiiich does complicate the idea of Minnie being sacrificed in exchange--I don't see how he would've been able to do that while he's holed up in that chamber. Unless there's something I'm missing or that hasn't been revealed yet on that front, I think this points to Minnie's death happening earlier in the timeline. Perhaps as part of the experiments Mickey was conducting with Antihoo?
Also, on the note of the fly again, the comic specifically makes a point to show the fly surviving the microwave--could this point to Minnie being alive, since it draws a comparison between her and the fly?
ANYWAY okay wow sorry I'm the wordiest bitch alive but really talking about this with you has really got my brain going fucking WHIRRRRRR. I'm so fucking intrigued by the implications that Scoob, based on the timeline we have now, seems to have been the first to make a deal with any of the entities. Which would mean Cyan was the first to choose to interfere in some way--Red's involvement likely came later, possibly in retaliation to Cyan? Idk, I'm spitballing, and I don't think we know enough about the entities to draw definitive conclusions, but it's REALLY fucking fun to think about what we know so far and theorize about what might be coming up.

🟠 - Daren
🟠 Orange- What is a trait your OC hides about themself from others? Do they refuse to acknowledge it or begrudgingly accept it?
see this is what i need to play with with daren more i think, because daren is kind of one dimensional compared to the others. out of the main cast, daren, elise, and heather are definitely the weakest because i kinda tend to hyperfocus on sinie, agitha, csilla, and everett sometimes (oops) so this is something i wanna discuss!
so something about daren that is canon is that his family is definitely the largest in the cast, 6 people live under one roof, daren, his mother and father, little brother dimitri, older sister, and grandmother. i dont see them living in a particularly small house necessarily, i think they can all fit but i imagine and draw darens room small and cramped which tells me one thing about daren and its that he's willing to sacrifice for others.
i have the idea that maybe he grew up rly poor, living in a two bedroom house with his mother, father, and two siblings, sharing a room with said siblings. he's super close with his siblings, though closer to their older sister Anaya. so they all grew up having so little and being so cramped, but one year daren's grandmother had a stroke and her health declined significantly, causing daren's father to take a risk and apply for a better job in a higher position of work and qualified for the position and got the job. (i picture daren's father as this macho genius, very competent in everything he does and very smart. can figure anything out if he put his mind to it. but also kinda arrogant because he grew up basically a genius. it ties into his relationship with daren)
so, when daren's father (he still needs a name ngl) got this better job, he moved his family into a better, bigger home but it was still within their means and they still live within their means, theyre by no means rich, just no longer poor as dirt. maybe the house has 5 bedrooms, but one is more like a storage room or extra office space rather than meant to be a bedroom. his parents would take the master, his grandmother would have the second biggest room, needing it to get around in her wheelchair, and anaya and dimirtri would have the other two because daren would volunteer to take the closet room. why not? its finally his own room, he has the least out of all his siblings, and anaya and dimitri deserve their own space for company with all their friends, they all go to sinie's house to hang out anyway. but the thing is...thats the middle child in him. anaya is the eldest and the only daughter, she's a diva, however kind hearted. dimitri is the baby, and hes an arrogant fuck because hes just like his dad, too smart for his own good and spoiled by everyone in the family including daren. thats their lil baby brother!
so, this whole tangent was to go on about how i basically think daren would hide his own needs and wants from others because he never wants to take from anyone else. hes content with little, but doesnt recognize when they deserve more. maybe its hard for them to celebrate their birthday because theyre always thinking of others. i always say elise should be the mom friend because she is basically helping raise her little brothers, but daren is suchhh the mom friend its unreal. he is the decision maker of their group, the caretaker and the homemaker. he's selfless and responsible, smart and competent, mature and rational, but also a powerhouse in attitude and in the combat scene. daren would definitely think its too selfish to ask for something, even if he needs it because if he can do it for himself he will. dont try and take care of him because he wont allow it.
as far as if they refuse to accept it or not, i think its a matter of how the story is told because at the beginning they definitely dont notice. how coud they, he's only 18 hahaha

Well... if it’ll make you extra happy, then I’d love to share the treats with you, baby <3 I do like the cookies though so you dont have to worry about me forcing myself to eat them or anything like that!!
As long as you want to tell me about them, I would love to listen to you! All ears! I could just listen to you talk about anything for hours yknow? So please, be my guest. I’d love to know what great things happened that made my girl feel good :]
Hmmm welllll since youre so cute, of course you can~ You can help me decorate since I feel like I would suck at that 🤕 But be warned, I cant promise you that there wont be any flour bomb attacks hehe
My darling girl, you dont have to thank me for that 🤎 Silly biter~ Im always going to be here for you. I love you, it’s what I do. Im not ever letting my girl suffer on her own (unless you specifically tell me you want me to give you some space, then of course I’d respect that)
There's nothing I'd love more than to have you share this all and for you to call me baby all the time. I might be your biter but it's hard to swallow all in one go hehe!
I'll tell you in full detail under your request but this should keep your ears ringing for now hehe~ I made up with my one daughter's boyfriend. Both of their boyfriends (hoon and jake respectively) aren't my biggest fans. Lately though, Jake seems to have eased up on tolerating me and Hoon, after um having a very hard talk that resulted in him cutting me off completely in the beginning of the year, finally came forward to apologize (granted with Wonyo and Hee's nudging)... He was very sincere too! I got to apologize for what I felt was necessary too...
Yujinie, told me that she's engaged and getting married to Jake, and they also got their own mini on the way. So I'm officially adopting the gilf title at some point... Not sure if I should be sad or not since my age might start showing!
๐·.°(৹˃̵﹏˂̵৹)°·๐
I think I'm going to walk her down the aisle. Hee will just have to sit on the sidelines for this one 🤚. I want you to help me pick a dress and suit... Only if you want, of course. Yujin was hesitant on a wedding in general, so it'll be a small intimate one, but despite that it seems she still wants to invite you!
And I hope it doesn't make you uncomfy but since Hee is their dad, I'm in contact with him, and we're on good terms. He was very kind to me while Hoon was apologizing to me since he knew that the conversation we had was one that stuck with me for a long time... I'll tell you anything you ask me if you're ever curious, and you can let me know if you're ever uncomfy with me interacting with their dad, okay? You come first. That chapter in my life has been read, you're the pages I'm reading now. That's what matters to me most.
I just thought this was kinda cute... I wanted to show you. It's small but it was somewhat touching? And I know wonyo likes you... They both do! On several occasions they've expressed that they'd take you in as a step-dad (if you ever I mean wanted to, there's no pressure. None. And like that's a long way down since I have to still um learn to call you my boyfriend I mean ya know... Ahem um...), I'm just happy they like you...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Of course, I also had an amazing time with my current-soon-to-be-boyfriend which also... Made everything feel better too.
Ah! Don't feel pressured though! I know it all may feel overwhelming but don't think too hard! I just... Wanted to share these tidbits... It doesn't have to mean anything though. We've been taking things slow so don't feel like there's some responsibility you suddenly have to take on... But if you do feel that, then let me know... I'll do my best to ease your mind up!
I'm amazing at cooking and baking decorations, trust me. Pro in this house, actually- hehe... A flour war... Let's not get too movie scene-like and kiss with a face full of flour. It tastes weird when it's plain! Maybe icing or something instead-... Oh right there's a war first! Oh... Wait we have to bake first-
I know I don't have to thank you... I'm just grateful... Having someone at my side, that I love, and loves me back... Someone with only my best interests at heart in the present... I value that a lot... It'll be a while before I stop giving thanks... I just... I really hope I can provide you with that same comfort... And give you just as much as you give me.
I love you, wooyoung ♡
