my twitter account got locked so tumblr gets my insanity full force. i’ve been thinking about dirkjake.
it’s mostly been vague spinning of concept ala food in the microwave BUT i’ve wanted to talk about them and colour association for a while now and what better time to do just that than this one?
dirk’s primary colour association is orange, specifically a sort of creamsicle shade. i find this to be one of if not the most interesting colour choices, as dirk’s chosen colour, at a surface level, seems to represent a concept that is near antithetical to himself. according to most search engines, it is associated with warmth, excitement, joy, the sun… all things that aren’t necessarily characteristics of his. there is the association with creativity, which most definitely fits, but other than that…?
it seems an ill fit choice, until you look at orange in how it’s used. it is an incredibly hard colour to match and counter, especially in fashion, and isn’t commonly used for that reason. it doesn’t carry the sweet calmness of yellow but also not the ferocity and unmitigated energy of red. it is commonly thought to produce a feeling of hunger. seems to make more sense, doesn’t it?
then we have his other primary association: pink. not sweet baby pink or millenial pink or bubblegum pink but something that i’d describe as almost magenta. pink is one of the primary colours in the cmyk colour profile (the stuff used in printers), and it’s associated with kindness and compassion, love, sometimes. while those aren’t traits we might assign to dirk at the beginning of his arc, as act 6 goes on we learn he has a uniquely large heart. pink is all the things he believes himself not to be, add the association with femininity and you get a solid metaphor for his coming into himself as a gay man.
then there’s jake. his primary colour is dark green, which also happens to be a primary in the rgb colour profile. this colour fit is an odd case. by popular lore it is heavily associated with nature, life, growth, inner balance, which might fit jake to a point, but generally assumes themes and traits better suited to other characters. funnily enough though, the negative traits associated with green fit him pretty universally, envy not so much, but jealousy is a large part of his arc, and he proves to be quite materialistic in his life as jake harley.
the colour green in practice proves to be interesting again, as it is kind of an everything colour. i can’t think of a scenario where a shade of green wouldn’t be downright inappropriate to use, and that just about sums up how i feel about jake english early in his arc. he tries so hard to stay away from conflict and keep his friends happy he becomes a sort of social chameleon, mirroring whoever it is he’s talking to, even if it doesn’t make him happy. jake doesn’t know who he is, at this point in life. he knows what he *wants* to be and what he’s *expected* to be but reaching inside himself yields no result. by being appropriate in every scenario you lose an amount of character that others with more specialised uses will always hold over you.
the light yellow of the hope aspect is a fun one. yellow is generally associated with happiness and optimism, traits that jake shows in equal measures, though how genuine they are at any given moment is hard to parse, unless you of course are dirk strider. it’s supposed to produce enthusiasm and confidence, things that we see once again in jake harley. on the flip side… yellow is heavily associated with cowardice. and it’s very true. jake is a coward, and it’s something he spends a good chunk of act 6 maybe not… coming to terms with but finding out about himself. not that there’s anything bad about being a coward, in the case of homestuck especially, he would have been stupid if he wasn’t scared. speaking of; another association: naïveté. something jake heavily projects into his image in order to absolve himself of the consequences of his actions. he’s a bit of an asshole in that way, but not maliciously so.
now, let’s look at their colours together. orange and green make brown, which is not a colour very common in these sorts of analysis, but it nontheless proves fitting for their relationship, at least pregame. it is the colour of stability, reliability, but also dullness and timidity. jake and dirk were clearly very comfortable with each other and knew each other well: enough that jake was able to tell hal apart from dirk based on speech patterns alone. but their relationship as it was wasn’t completely fulfilling for both of them, at least dirk seemed to want to take things further for a long time before the game but was unable to due to his own fears and partially jake’s immaturity.
yellow and pink on the other hand? orange, again. this time it seems fitting to look at orange’s negative associations: immaturity, impulsivity, impatience. dominance, in a negative sense. this i think mirrors jake and dirk’s time as boyfriends during the game, before their breakup following trickster mode. their inability to communicate became their downfall when forced to communicate face to face. they stopped balancing each other out and closed themselves off in an effort to keep up the charade of a functional relationship. considering their lack of communication even before the game started, this wasn’t a surprising outcome, but a sad one nontheless.
still, they beat the game. and now they are just orange and green again, albeit joint kings of all consorts (the epilogues don’t exist). people often forget but orange and brown are two shades of the same colour. and i believe given time and methods of communication suited to both of them they can build up to brown again. better, stronger this time.

Can we know a little more of Tamil and Pulo?
Yes of course! I love answering questions, especially ones about some of my original characters. I'm not sure what exactly you want to know but here is some random tid bits about them.
Tamil, Pulo, and Kxolo have been friends since childhood. When they were younger they were known for causing a lot of mischief (unfortunate for Kxolo who had a harsh father that was constantly putting him back into line, reminding him that he is future Olo'eyktan). They've stayed close and developed a friendship with Epok over the years.
Both Tamil and Pulo serve high rankings in the clan, each acting as unofficials second in commands to Kxolo, however they have different strengths. Pulo is known for his ability to motivate and rally troops, captivating an audience with his motivational speeches and screeching war cries. He has done more than his fair share of leading groups of warriors into battles when needed, although their clan has only had the very ocassional disturbance from the Sky People. Tamil's strengths too are related to combat, being known for his stealth and efficency in the heat of battle, but this is a side of himself he prefers not to share unless necessary. He prefers to involve himself instead with the day to day negotiations and preparations required to keep the village running smoothly. He is the first man Kxolo wants by his side when discussing matters with other clans. Although, not a usually talkative male, Tamil has a calming presence and ability to craft sentences carefully that can put others at ease.
Tamil is a gentle and sensitive alpha. He only sheds blood when necessary, a thought that crosses his mind more often now that he has a mate and daughter to worry about. His daughter is only a few months old and her name is Vili. As a first time father he constantly worries that he is not doing things properly. He spent more than his fair share of time listening to the women in his life, in search of every tid bit that would help him. His mate had to reassure him over and over that Eywa would guide him when the time would come but that doesn't stop him from doing everything in his power to prepare for the small angel. Now, he makes sure to balance his responsibilites and social life with his home life. He is not afraid to sneak away from the circle of his friends at the sight of his gorgeous mate holding that energetic bundle of joy. Tamil isn't quiet out of shyness, but rather he knows how to determine which things are worth saying. All of that goes out the window though if his daughter is brought up. He bosts about every milestone that his little Vili has accomplished in the few months, showing off each songchord bead to aid his stories.
Pulo and his mate have been married for almost a year now and their relationship is very much so fire meets fire. She pushes him in a way that no one else can, finally finding ways to get under his skin. They grew up together, training in the same groups. He considers himself someone with thick skin. People can tease and poke at him all day long, but it does nothing to shatter his confidence. However, Resaal was known to flare his temper to new extremes throughout their adolescence. Her ability to achieve every warrior milestone better and sooner than him was a great sore spot while growing up. He can still remember the cocky wink she sent him after surfacing back on her new ikran after he had failed his iknamaya. His temper would simmer to a boil while she would simply send him coy smiles and prance along the village with the grace of an etherial being. It took him getting over his own adolescent pride and stubborn feuds to finally admit his feelings for her. Although, the entire village saw it coming, especially Kxolo who teased him about it constantly. Now they are considered the ultimate power couple, training and strategizing together. Most of their sparring ends in sensual love making, no matter the scene. Now, she is currenly on an expedition to the south, protecting a group of Na'vi that are harvesting special herbs collected yearly for invaluable medicines. He misses her greatly, but his best distraction is interacting with his friends and focusing on work.
Both males are ecstatic to finally see their friend that has suffered through so much, find happiness.
Let me know if you have any specific questions, but hopefully this gives a little more insight.

First of all I want to compliment your amazing work with the readings about Bang Chan, they are impeccable! You are an amazing writer! If it’s no trouble, can I get a comparability reading with Chan? Pretty please? I am a Taurus sun, Aries Rising, Sagittarius Moon, Taurus Venus, Mars in Virgo.
Thanks a lot for your time <3
thank you soooo much for the kind words! you don’t even know how good i feel after hearing that, and how much it makes me want to write more! and yes, i got you honey!!! ❤️ i hope you like :)
Aries Ascendant & Sun in Taurus:
I actually wanted to pair these 2 together because I think they’re a great combo to have! With this combination (without knowing house placements and such), it seems as though you would have a calm, more reserved “real” personality, but definitely know how to amp it up and “perform” around other people. This isn’t at all a bad thing, but it can bring about confidence in your life that you wouldn’t have otherwise. I see you as someone who takes on a lot of work (more than u should tbh), but is always able to push through until it’s completed. One thing I’d note for this too though is that you MAY have a low attention span or you can come across as having flights of ideas which can be hard for others to follow along with sometimes… even if they make complete sense to you. In my eyes, people with this combo are very smart and they know that. If you don’t then you should! You can realllly push through tough situations and would make one hell of a leader.
I think this is a good combo for Chan personally. I see it playing out as: on the exterior or to the press, you would be one hell of a power couple. You both are go-getters and can achieve anything together. But when hanging out with friends, the two of you would be more likely to seem as the reliable, fun couple of the friend group. Real “mom and dad who never really wanna grow up but could also be some badass parents” vibes. More than likely, you’d be the social, stable couple of the friend group.
Moon in Sagittarius:
With this placement, you probably highly value your relationships with others, fun experiences in life, and a sense of self-sufficiency or independence. You NEED all of these things to feel reach fulfillment in the world. Most likely, you have a positive outlook on life.
There are good and bad aspects of this combo with Chan’s Moon in Libra. For the good, you both meet on a fundamental level of wanting to see people for who they really are. This can bring a beauty and overall feeling of positivity to a relationship. Again, I think you would both highly value the friendships that you had as other couples and would attend events together often. Some places where things could get rocky is in your need for freedom, though Channie is someone that needs constant reassurance. He may even become too clingy for you at times. If you like clingy, then that’s cool too, but I do see things coming to a point in the relationship where you feel like you need a “break” for a minute OR that Chan catches onto the fact that you still need to have your own individuality aside from the relationship, and he fixes this by holding in how he really feels.
BUT the way he communicates in conflict due to his Mars in Sag would really resonate with you and I see you two being able to work things out quickly since you’d understand in the deepest parts of you how he’s feeling when he’s being reactionary.
Venus in Taurus:
I see your pairing with Chan going one of two ways in this case. I’ll lay it out:
1. One area you MAY struggle would be balancing the physical world with the spiritual world in love. If you’ve read my Venus in Scorpio post for Chan, then you know that he pours a lottttt of emotion into love and sex. For some Venus Taurus, this can get overwhelming at times, especially if they’re not in the headspace to have such a mental game involved. While there are times that Chan will want to have just meaningless sex, it isn’t as often as the alternative. He underestimates how taxing this can be on someone else. You may come to a point where you have to discuss with him that sometimes the physicality of it has to overcome the emotions tied into it.
2. ORRR, since I think you have compatibility in other areas, its possible that this is something you all could work through and could actually lead to a fun, varied time in the bedroom. You just need to remind Chan to live in the real world sometimes, and other times, feel free to get carried away in your own little world.
Mars in Virgo:
This is an okay combo I believe! Although at first glance Mars in Virgo and in Sag for Chan may not seem compatible, I think considering the rest of your chart, it could actually work out just fine. The way I interpret this is that you tend to like things done in a certain way, but this probably also stems from the fact that you take on too much than you should. You don’t usually blow up about things, but you do like some stability in your life. When things change drastically, like Chan having to change plans last minute or having to be gone for extended periods of time, it can get under your skin at times. He holds things in a lot, but can explode if things come to a boil. You are good at resolving things though. Since you also have a Moon in Sag, I think you all would be able to relate well to each other and you would be understanding of his outbursts to help him work through them. You would also both need to work on explaining your emotions instead of keeping them in.

MC FIRST IMPRESSIONS TAG GAME
I used this picrew to do it, but you totally dont have to if you dont want to. What was your mcs first impression of the brothers? I might do a part two with everyone else.
Ok I'm stealing Ivy's idea- and Inky's and Max's
This is when Viz first came to Devildom
Lucifer
Lucifer and Viz had a rocky relationship. Viz had no fucks left to give so if Luci killed her, she didnt care. She called him out on all his shit, and of course, she also had Diavolo's favour...so Lucifer was always hesitant to retaliate. When he did, she had a comeback right away. They've since become friends and call each other out on their overworking and when perfectionism becomes harmful.
Tumblr media
Mammon
She hated Mammon because of a conflict they had in the human realm years prior, and she wanted nothing to do with him even if he wanted to try and apologize.
Tumblr media
Levi
Levi has long hair-
but these two were so awkward with each other. Painfully so. Asmo shoved them into this picture. It wasn't until Viz learned he had a pet snake did the two start to talk more. She loves to hear him ramble, but cannot keep up for the life of her.
Tumblr media
Satan
Satan picked up on Vizzie's suppressed wrath, and helped her work through it after getting to know her fairly quickly after she came to Devildom. The two have become and stayed (yes, even over the Asmo arc, which if you're 18+ and a sucker for angst you can dm me) very close. He continues to help her, and she helps him with calming him down.
Tumblr media
Asmo
She and Asmo had a difficult, but not a bad start. Upon first impressions, Viz saw right through the facade that Asmo had in regards to his confidence and how he saw himself in regards to "Im the Avatar of Lust" to "I'm a demon just like my brothers, and I'm allowed to not always be perfect especially at home where Im safe", and again with no fucks to give she told him exactly what she thought of him/the truth as she saw it when she got to see him in private. The way Satan helped her, she tried to help Asmo...except she was a bit rougher. Only because she didn't have very good social skills for people she cared for...customers and strangers are different.
Tumblr media
Beel
Beel pretty much adopted Viz as a little sister. And she liked it. The two just kinda enjoy each others company.
Tumblr media
Belphie
So Vizzie didn't go through the whole "being killed" thing to uh...balance out what I had happen to her later on, also she didnt live at HoL for the exchange program
Belphie's just a little shit and likes to bug her as much as he bugs Lucifer
He likes to mess with her placement of stuff and whatnot, and her perfectionism screams every time
And then he would play it off like he did nothing wrong
Tumblr media
No pressure tags: @raccoon-carson @obey-r-us @reclusiveprincessofsharks @inkysninky @asmo-ds @ash-the-nekogirl @moemoemammon @undertaker-02 anyone else who wants to join! My brain died I cant remember any other URLS sorry fjdjdjdj

Top Gun Headcanon - Astrological Signs Edition
Jake “Hangman” Seresin, Natasha “Phoenix” Trace, Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw
Tumblr media
Jake “Hangman” Seresin - Leo
Jake has to be the leader of the pack. He’s ambitious, confident, showy, and brave. People follow him quickly, but he’s not always good at keeping friends. The thing that really makes him a Leo is that beneath the self-centered persona is someone who’s deeply attuned to people. He’s extremely loyal to those he cares about, even when he can be a pain in their ass.
Natasha “Phoenix” Trace - Libra
Like many Libras, Natasha is a quiet leader. Her calm compassion and empathy earn people’s respect and confidence. She might not always be the smartest or most talented one in the room, but she’s the one everyone trusts and that matters. She doesn’t like conflict but her sense of justice will lead her into the fray when necessary. Although she can be indecisive in her personal life, the Navy’s structure and her need to be noticed for validation drive her ambition.
Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw - Scorpio
What’s more Scorpio than holding a 17 year grudge and hiding just how deeply attached you are to the people you care about by not letting them know you’re stateside? Bradley can’t help being an emotional roller coaster. He’s level headed and strategic up until the point someone hits the wrong nerve and then he can become emotional and vindictive. However, Scorpios are deeply loyal, and Bradley is always there when people need him.
As couples and a throuple:
Jake/Natasha - Their social personalities are a match, and Natasha has the sense of humor to laugh off Jake’s more annoying qualities or charm to get him to tone them down. They both command a room when they walk in but in such different ways that Jake admires rather than competes with Natasha’s presence. Both are attuned to other people but can struggle to be in touch with their own emotions. However, they’re able to talk things out with each other in a way that is honest and vulnerable.
Bradley/Natasha - Natasha has the social finesse that Bradley lacks. Bradley isn’t concerned about what others think of him unless he respects their opinion or cares for them. That’s something Natasha admires and sometimes needs. While she struggles to be in tune with her feelings, Bradley feels his deeply, although he isn’t always open to sharing. She gets him to open up and he helps her understand her emotions. They respect and value each other’s independence.
Jake/Bradley - Both passionate and determined to do things their way (which is pretty much always the opposite of the other), these two can butt heads but have a natural, somewhat irresistible attraction. Perhaps that is because they are both deeply loyal to the people they care about and are able to recognize that they each need a little of what the other has to succeed. Jake is honest with Bradley, which Bradley respects, needs, and trusts even when he doesn’t like it. Although he might not always show it in the way Jake would like, Bradley would do anything for Jake and Jake knows and loves that level of adoration. 
Jake/Natasha/Bradley - These three make the perfect triad. Natasha balances the excesses of the other two while Jake is their glue and Bradley is their heart. They are all deeply emotionally attuned to one another, although Bradley is usually the first by a long stretch to sense and understand what’s going on with the other two even if he gives them the space to come to the realization on their own. Natasha and Bradley can become withdrawn when they’re struggling or feeling insecure, but Jake brings them out of their shells and builds them up. Despite his outgoing exterior, Jake can be a little more rigid and binary than Natasha likes but Bradley’s flexibility keeps their peace.

Hey there! I hope you're having a good day/night ^^
I wanted to take a moment to reflect on my relationship with the gods, Hestia and Dionysus in particular, because it's been almost two years since I started this path and lots of things have happened since.
A couple of years ago I was finishing my degree in Biochemistry and moving to a new apartment closer to the lab where I was working. On top of that, pandemic restrictions were still pretty much active. Therefore it was, in general, an eventful time for me. I think that's why I tried to reach out to someone for guidance or a little bit of support, even though I considered myself agnostic. I won't get into details of what she did because I like to keep our relationship kind of to ourselves, but let's just say that there were a couple of moments that made me tip the balance of agnosticism towards the gods. Since then, I've maintained a really simple and calm worship, nothing flashy at all, but it has helped enormously. She has helped me become a more compassionate, centered person, and has pushed me back into enjoying the little things in life.
As for Dionysus, I would never have guessed that I'd be developing a relationship with him, because we couldn't be more different. But he came to me, in a really dramatic way, it suits him, and offered to help. I didn't know what I needed help with, but he was there anyway. He has helped me get out of my comfort zone and face social situations with a confidence I wouldn't have dreamt of having before. And right now he's pushed me into the gender rabbit hole of "hey mate, I think you have ran out of bineys, so non binary it is", which is both scary and really exciting, so thanks for that, Dionysus 😂
Both Hestia and Dionysus have also guided me into a life choice I would have never imagined, changing my career path and starting classical studies. When I was doing the paperwork I swear I was acting on impulse without even thinking or doubting myself (and I am the KING of doubting myself 😂). I felt like I was being guided by someone, I didn't feel any fear and now I'm IN LOVE with my new degree and can finally see myself following this field of study for the rest of my life. And I am forever grateful for that, both to Hestia, to Dionysus and to any other god or goddess that helped without making themselves known 💜💜💜
I don't do magic or flashy rituals, and I try my best not to ask for things except in extreme cases. I also don't expect to receive anything when I make an offering, because I want to build a friendly relationship with them, and friends give each other gifts justs because, and they help each other out just because.
I'm still not sure if the gods exist, and I probably never will, I'm not one to function based on faith. But I like to think that they do. And thinking so has made my life so much brighter and has helped me improve as a person and help others in my circle. For that I say thank you, Hestia, thank you, Dionysus. I love you both a lot 🥰🍇🔥
You're welcome to comment your thoughts, experiences or whatever you want, but please, be kind <3 and have a good day 💜

Character Update for Secret Book Club Hamefura AU!
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, please refer to my previous post about the Secret Book Club Hamefura AU.
I have finally (somewhat) fleshed out the club members! Here are the club members with more depth to them!(Gasp! They have names!)
Marquess Helen Baignard(the first member): Her parents are supportive of her wish to become an author and because of it, she has grown confident and isn’t afraid to speak up for what she believes. Because of her confident attitude, however, she can grow arrogant and pushy at times, though her best friend, Madeline, can usually keep her in check. Helen does care for other people, but because of her natural dislike towards noble society due to its toxic nature, she maintains a brash attitude. However, this changes when she gets invited to the secret romance novel club by Katarina. By default, she originally had a dislike for her, as she was the daughter of a duke, but over time, she becomes fond of her and gradually respects her. Her dream is to abandon her life as a noble, live in the far countryside with her her friend, Madeline, and write romance stories with her. Her magic is water, although it is weak and she can only create steam out of her palms. She secretly ships Katarina with Sophia.    
Countess Madeline Evans(the second member): Madeline was friends with Helen ever since the two were little. Madeline has a calm and patient attitude while Helen has a brash attitude, so the two are able to balance each other out. While Madeline doesn’t publicly speak about her love of romance novels, she doesn’t actively hide it either. Helen tried to recruit her, and was finally bribed(albeit accidentally) into going when Katarina mentioned that they would have snacks during the meetings. Her dream is to be a rich recluse with romance novels, snacks, and treasures galore. Madeline is aware of Helen's desire to drag her along when she runs away, but doesn't mind it as long as she still has her riches and recluse life. She ships Katarina and Nicol, because she ships couples that are opposites of one another. It has nothing to do with the fact that her favorite romance novel series is the Devilish Count. Her magic element is wind, and it’s somewhat powerful too. (the reason why is because she often uses her magic mainly to pull/push Helen towards her if she gets too feral) 
Count Alistair Lewis(the third member): He was born into a noble well-known knights, and because of this, he was pressured into becoming a knight. However, his true passion and talents was in the arts industry, and because of this, his parents didn’t really love him. The only reason why he was supported in becoming an artist in the first place was because many high-ranked nobles began to commission him for his paintings. He also loved romance novels, but because he didn’t want to become even less well-received by his family, he kept it a secret, and read them discreetly and never bought one. Sophia ends up recruiting him when she sees a fan art of a romance novel in his sketchbook and promises him that his passion for them would remain a secret amongst the club, to which he accepts. He sees potential in the Katarina x Nicol and the Katarina x Sophia ships, but is unsure which he likes more. His magic type is fire and it’s somewhat powerful. He mainly uses it as a sort of candle so he can read in the dark.        
Baroness Ophelia Foster(the fourth member): Ophelia had a sheltered childhood, as she was the first child out of 3 of the Foster family to survive after the age of 5, and because of it, she lacked the social skills needed to be able to stand up against bullying when she finally attended the academy. She loved romance novels and didn’t realize how “scandalized,” it was in the noble community until she was harassed because of it. Thankfully though, Katarina protects her from the bullies and invites her to join their romance novel club, to which she accepts. Her magic type is Earth, and can manipulate pebbles. She ships Katarina with both Ascart siblings. 
As for how these characters look, I might draw them individually, though this depends on how much time I have to draw, because I am going to take my finals soon, and once finals are finished, I have other extracurricular stuff I have to attend to. However, I have other AU’s in mind if I can’t add onto the Secret Book Club AU.

Toshio's reference has undergone some changes, which is an excellent opportunity to throw in some information.
i’ll start with a reminder that now i'll be focused on the main setting, which involves both old, familiar characters in a slightly modified form, and new ones, about which i'll tell you next time.
Toshio here, like many other ocs, is a kind of agent performing various tasks, “orders” from the government. he is a highly qualified worker who, however, was demoted due to some specific circumstances.
Tumblr media
i think we can now move on to Toshio himself and his personality. it may turn out a little messy, but there’s no way around it, i’m completely out of the habit of writing this kind of things.
by nature he is a straightforward, confident, balanced man, constantly striving for the ideal and putting his principles above anything else. has poor facial expressions and an inhibited, usually calm emotional reaction (nevertheless, he is able to experience strong emotions). clearly divides people into “us” and “strangers”, while not devoid of empathy which is mainly proceeds from logical conclusions. first he thinks, only then he does/says. social and tactful, when sufficiently interested in the conversation, remembers others words and actions well, insightful. his personality, like that of any person, is multifaceted, so it would be stuffy to describe everything in one post, but here’s what i remembered.
Tumblr media
regarding the physical, if anyone is interested. Toshio looks like a human, but in reality he is not one. he is a representative of a mixed species, characterized by elongated limbs and body, strong regeneration and an high pain tolerance, as well as an increased need for energy restoration (in food, roughly speaking). he himself has a thin build and normal muscle mass, broad shoulders, elongated palms and feet, a number of small scars and fine dark hair on his body.

luke and i talked on the phone the other night and i was so excited to talk to him and i ended up feeling so fucking shitty. i was talking about how i am going to try acupuncture for the first time and that my anxiety and insomnia has been so bad recently. and he basically just made me feel like i'm making a big deal about everything and my problems aren't really problems. he was like You keep trying this and that, but there's a much simpler solution, which is to just realize how good your life really is. Like... what??? First of all, it's insulting to insinuate that I'm ungrateful for my life. Second, that's not what this is about. I don't just decide to be upset about things because i'm unable to realize how good i have it. If i could rationalize my way out of anxiety, don't you think i would have already done it?? anxiety is not rational! it's not logical! it doesn't make sense! i feel like my brain is fucking attacking me sometimes and it feels completely out of my control! i didn't ask to feel this way. i didn't ask to get trapped in thought spirals that make me feel dissociated from reality. i didn't ask to lie awake at night with what feels like 20 different people's thoughts racing around in my head and it's so loud and nothing i do will make it stop and i'm so very tired yet i can't fall asleep for a single second. i didn't ask to feel so physically anxious, for seemingly no reason, that i can't do my homework, i can't complete tasks, i can't really do anything until i calm myself down.
and then i was talking about how it's so frustrating to feel these things and to hear people tell you things like "you should exercise, drink more water, meditate, etc." and none of it works. i've tried all that; i'm in therapy, i'm on meds, i run like five miles a day. i'm doing all the things i've been told to do and i still can't sleep. and he was like "It sounds like you just want to feel upset". I can't fucking believe he said that to me. As if i'm a child having a tantrum about my stupid little emotions. it really hurt my feelings. for him to be skeptical and dismissive of what i am going through. it was so invalidating and it felt like he didn't respect me.
so i barely talked to him yesterday because i felt so hurt. he called me again today and he apologized and listened to me explain why the things he said were so offensive to me. and it's hard to be mad at him because i know he doesn't intend to hurt me and that he really just doesn't understand my struggles with anxiety and depression. like on one hand it's good to be dating someone who's so stable because he is a great balance to me and i'm learning a lot from him. but on the other hand, he can't relate to what i go through. so i have to explain all of this to him, like what it feels like to have uncontrollable anxiety and how much difficulty it adds to my life and how it's not something i can fix or snap out of. i know he is a good person and i trust him to really listen to me, but it is hard to feel misunderstood. it's a really painful process but i think honestly it's a good thing that we're able to listen to each other and work through conflict like this. i can tell that he really wants to understand me better and he just wants me to be happy. we're just so different in a lot of ways and we have a lot to learn about each other. so tomorrow we will finally get to talk in person and i hope it will make me feel more at peace.
he told me he feels i am an intimidating person because i am fun and attractive and seem to exude confidence and that i navigate social situations with ease. and that he feels a weird type of jealousy that i had such an intense relationship with sam and that we lived together in three different countries. and i get why it would feel hard to live up to that. but again, i think we just have to talk about it. so tomorrow i'm going to talk about that whole saga too. because i feel like he has to know about it in order to understand me.
someday soon i won't feel so broken down like i do now. things are going to get better. i am going to be able to sleep.

Imagine being Bumi’s daughter and growing up with Prince Iroh II who has a huge crush on you
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You were born in the fire nation to Bumi, eldest child of Avatar Aang and water bending master Katara, and Aizose a high ranking fire nation admiral. Your parents were actually introduced by Firelord Izumi herself who was friends with both of them and she was thrilled when they hit it off and eventually got married. Your mother and Izumi fell pregnant at the same time and so you and Iroh were born only a month apart. Unsurprisingly the two of you became pretty much inseparable from birth. You were each other’s first playmates and not a week went by when you didn’t see one another. You basically grew up in the palace, staying over whenever your parents were away on voyages and coming with your dad each time he had to attend a meeting so you could play with Iroh. 
You were one of the few children Iroh was exposed to and you quickly developed a strong bond. Iroh by nature was a shy cautious child taking after his mother. You were the complete opposite. Your personality mirrored your father’s so you were confident, loud and not afraid to be different. You balanced each other out well and your parents would watch amused as you’d be fiercely supportive of everything Iroh did while he would accompany you on all of your boisterous quests urging you to be more careful. When you both became old enough for education Iroh was sent to a school with you instead of the traditional private tutors being brought in. Iroh’s parents wanted him to have as normal a childhood as possible and thought you’d be a good stabilising influence for him so they sent you off together. Iroh was anxious being around so many people his own age but your bond helped him through school and you stayed best friends throughout it.
As Iroh got older and you both entered your teenage years he recognised his feelings for you weren’t just of a friendship anymore. You were always there when he needed you and you gave him support and love constantly. Iroh felt normal around you, more than he felt with anyone else in the fire nation. Even with his family he was the prince but with you he wasn’t. With you he didn’t have to feign confidence for his future role as Firelord or be constantly diplomatic. He was just Iroh and for you that was always good enough. Iroh recognised you were the most important person in the world to him but sometimes he worried you didn’t feel the same. While Iroh only felt comfortable with you, you got along with everyone. You enjoyed social events and usually only missed them as a compromise for Iroh’s sake, you’d skip events claiming you didn’t want to go when he could tell you did. Iroh felt utterly protected and loved by you but he also felt slightly inferior. You were so brave and naturally confident, you protected and helped him in ways he wasn’t able to do for you. Why on earth would you like him when he was just so ordinary? He’d tried hard to act like the cold Firelord or smart prince but he didn’t fit the royal standard and he needed his best friend beside him to get through royal balls even at the age of 16. Iroh always felt these emotions most when you were at school together, especially at social events he had to go to, like the end of year graduation ball. The ceremony used to be more formal but now it was just a glorified party.  You and Iroh would always attend together and he’d get through them...but with each year they’d been getting harder and harder for the introverted Iroh to cope with. 
So Iroh became more nervous as the event got closer but when the night came he obediently put on his best clothes and escorted you to the hall. You were excited of course, animatedly telling him about the gossip he’d missed. Iroh listened to you and let your chatter calm him. He told himself to just last 2 hours and then you’d have your annual afterparty sleepover which he loved. He just had to get through this...
You entered the hall together and Iroh stared, he was sure the occasion got bigger every year just to spite him. You pulled him into the room and stored your things in the cloakroom. Iroh watched as your classmates smiled widely at you and you grinned back exchanging pleasantries. Iroh wasn’t even sure what their names were or how you knew them, you just seemed to know everyone somehow. The two of you got some drinks and sat down at an empty table. Most of your classmates were dancing but you stuck by Iroh’s side, aware he got nervous in social situations. Iroh however knew you and he was sure if he wasn’t here you’d be on that floor in an instant and he felt guilty. As if he was holding you back from having a good time. So Iroh convinced you to go dance, promising he’d join you after he finished his drink which he could kick himself for saying. Iroh hated dancing. Mainly because at the ripe “old” age of 16 he still didn’t know how to dance. He’d been taught formal dance of course but not how to dance naturally like the other kids. Each year dancing became a larger and larger part of the occasion and each year Iroh would stand awkwardly by the side hoping everyone would stop soon. By now you were of course right in the middle with all your classmates and Iroh watched you throw yourself into the dance like you did with everything and grew worried. He felt like no matter how much he learnt there were still hundreds of things he was behind in...like dancing and social skills. How was he supposed to lead a country if he was too weak?
Iroh sighed looking down at his nearly empty drink when he heard a voice. He turned to see some boys that were supposedly his friends. They were from other high born houses and although Iroh didn’t like them they would likely always be in his life so he was encouraged to maintain some sort of relationship with them. Iroh had lots of these types of “friends” and he knew the only true friend he had was you. The boys all made a bee-line for the dance floor and Iroh hoped they’d not see him but of course they did. Dasak the ringleader spotted him and smiled “what are you doing out here Prince Iroh?” he asked, saying Iroh’s title in the mocking manner he did every time he said it. “Don’t feel like dancing?” another boy snickered and Iroh sat up tall as his mother had told him. “No” he said trying to act unbothered but he was rattled by the group surrounding him. “Why?” Dasak replied “everyone in our year is, you scared of girls or something?". Iroh paled as the boys began to laugh and he shook his head “no I just hate dancing”. Dasak smirked coming closer “hate dancing? Nobody hates dancing, it’d be like hating parties or fun. Do you hate fun Iroh” Dasak asked and his gang laughed louder.  
Your POV
You spotted a group around Iroh and groaned as you saw they were his so-called “friends”. They were the richest kids in your year and also the worst. They were obnoxious and thought their title meant they were owed special treatment. You hated how Iroh was forced to interact with them and knew he didn’t like them but simply tolerated them. They were all cruel and bullied people mercilessly. They constantly tore everyone down to look better and berated anyone who dared to be different. Iroh clearly looked uncomfortable with them and more so than usual so you made your way over to help. You heard Iroh say he didn’t like dancing and the boys cruel reply. You marched over and rolled your eyes "don’t be so ignorant, not everyone likes dancing idiot" you said loudly. You’d learnt the best way to deal with bullies was to embarrass them in front of their gang and make them lose their confidence. Dasak’s friends smirked as you called him out but he soon recovered. "Well yeah but normal people like dancing. It’s fun, everyone else enjoys it apart from Iroh". “As usual you’re wrong. Iroh isn’t the only one who hates dancing I do too. Everyone’s all sweaty and close to each other...I think you’re the weird one for liking it now if you’ll grace us with your absence we’ll be on our way". You gestured to the door behind him and Dasak smirked “whatever, you can’t protect him forever you know” and he barged past you to go to the crowd of dancing teenagers. You glared after him before turning to Iroh with a smile “well that was as fun as ever, you wanna head home?”. It was Iroh’s turn to hold the sleepover this year and you were excited, the palace always had the best food, but Iroh didn’t seem as excited as you.
Iroh didn’t reply to your question, he just headed for the exit. "Hey wait I need to grab my stuff" you called but Iroh didn’t slow down. You caught him up jogging and pushed him "some friend you are, why are you in such a hurry?". "Maybe I want to be left alone for once" he replied “I’m not helpless you know. You don’t always have to come to my rescue”. You frowned “but I'm your friend, helping each other is what friends do. Why would I not help you? Don’t tell me your masculinity is so fragile that a girl helping you makes you feel inferior”. “No of course not, it’s something else. I..I'll tell you inside" he sighed as you reached the palace gates and the earshot of the guards. The two of you were let inside and Iroh couldn’t believe he’d snapped at you. Of course he wasn’t mad you took on Dasak. You could embarrass him better than Iroh ever could...it was more how Iroh knew he would never be that confident. How he always needed you in those situations to stick up for himself. He didn’t mind depending on you but he just wished the relationship wasn’t so one-sided. That he wasn’t such a burden. Iroh chanced a looked at you hoping he hadn’t done too much damage. You looked furious but you’d still come with him so you couldn’t be that angry hopefully.
"So care to explain how I'm so annoying?" you asked the minute Iroh’s door shut and he sighed. "You're not y/n, you’re my best friend and I love being around you it's just...sometimes I feel so useless! You're the only person who gets me, the only person I feel comfortable with and I feel like I rely on that too much. I only go to events if you're there, I need you right beside me to feel confident enough to approach other people, even on our first day of school I needed you just to come out from the corner! I just can’t help but wonder why you're friends with me. You have so many and they don’t need you to support them so much. It can’t be for the perks either, your families rich and high up, so it’s not like I bring parties you couldn’t get into or a rich lifestyle. What do I even offer you? I'm just a boring nuisance to you. Not a strong prince but a scared kid who wastes his friend’s time" Iroh sighed “I bring nothing to this friendship”. You were silent three seconds before you burst. "Iroh you're not a burden and you bring a thousand things to this friendship! You’re funny and kind and so clever. You always think of me and you’re the most sympathetic person I know. You never let who you are go to your head and you’re the best guy at the whole academy not because you’re the prince but because of your heart” you said forcefully. “And even if you weren’t all those things you’re not friends with people because of what they can do for you but how they make you feel and you make me happy Iroh, I’m happiest around you too” you smiled and Iroh blushed but luckily you were so swept up in your speech you didn’t notice. “I only come to your aid so much because I hate to see you upset! You're my best friend and the best person I know, I'd do anything to stop you from being sad that's why I come to you. I just want you to be happy because you deserve to be more than anyone I know". Iroh stared “so you don’t feel weighed down by me?”. You shook your head "no of course not! I know we’re very different but I love all your quirks and you’re feelings are always valid even if I don’t completely understand them. I’d never look down on you or be your friend if I didn’t want to. I’m here because I love and care about you so much and I always will”. You finally noticed Iroh’s blush and smiled softly “has that reassured you that i’m your friend and I value you?”. “Yes” Iroh nodded “thanks y/n I...I don’t know what I’d do without you”. You smiled and brought him into a crushing hug “you’re perfect the way you are so don’t ever doubt it...but if you do i’ll be sure to remind you” you grinned “now enough of this soppy stuff! Let's go play with the dragon hatchlings!”. Iroh smiled as you grabbed his hand and pulled him from the room.
2 years later
After that day Iroh never questioned your devotion to him and instead he tried to work on his own insecurities so he wouldn’t project them onto you. Iroh had gotten more confident and was happy with the person he was becoming. However with graduation looming he was soon acting like a scared child again for one main reason. Graduating meant you’d soon both be leaving the capital and Iroh wasn’t sure what he’d do without you. Since practically birth the two of you had been together. The longest you'd been apart was that month when you went to the water tribe and Iroh had to go to the earth kingdom. Apart from that you’d always seen each other or at least been in regular contact. After school however Iroh would be joining the military and you’d be leaving the capital to attend medical school. You’d not be near each other or be able to write frequently and Iroh was terrified of losing you. It wasn’t just that he was losing his best friend and the one person who he felt truly comfortable around but he was losing the woman he loved. Iroh did not doubt by now that he was in love with you and he’d tried numerous times to tell you but he’d chickened out every time. He didn’t want to lose you as a friend and ruin the one good friendship he had. He also feared the rejection, he speculated you weren’t attracted to him but to hear you say it...that was his worst nightmare. With the thought of you leaving heavily on his mind Iroh wondered more and more if he should tell you but he was never confident enough to go through with it and it was finally too late.
It was your last few days in the fire nation. You’d both graduated last week and tonight was the last graduation ball you’d both ever attend. Then Iroh would leave for the military and you for the water tribe where the best medical school was. Your airship was due to leave the following evening and as Iroh made his way to the party with you he vowed to make the most of his time left with you.
As you entered the hall, rather than sweeping the room anxiously, Iroh focused on you. He made you laugh and used that energy to brave the room. Thankfully everyone had grown out of their need to dance and so Iroh walked around the room with you nodding to his classmates and engaging in pleasant conversation. This was the last time he’d likely see most of them so who cared if he made a mistake? Iroh found the night, if not pleasant bearable and time soon trickled by. When you’d been there for over 2 hours you leant over to Iroh asking if he wanted to head off. He agreed gratefully and you smiled going to grab your stuff from the cloakroom. 
Iroh stood with the others waiting for you but when that got awkward he decided to just come with you. Iroh turned down the corridor to the cloakroom and immediately heard your raised voice making his pause. From the tone Iroh could tell you were angry and he continued down the corridor anxious to find out why. He heard a boy laugh at whatever you’d said but knew you weren’t joking. Iroh rounded the corner to see Dasak beside you. Others had caught onto what an amazing girl you were including Dasak who’d been chasing you all year. However despite your rejections Dasak never took the hint. Neither of you saw Iroh enter and he surveyed the scene wondering what to do. "Ah come on y/n this is the last time we'll ever see each other, time to finally let our hair down and release all the pent up tension" Dasak grinned at you. "I agree but in my mind that in no way involves you" you replied coldly. "Why not? I know you like me, I see the way you look at me". You glared "I usually look at you exactly how i am right now Dasak. You're an entitled rich snob who will live off his daddy’s wealth and do everything he says exactly when he says it. You'll pass down your daddy issues to your own equally entitled son and end up in an unhappy marriage to a woman by age 21 because your parents told you to. You're not a man you’re a sexist bastard and if you've seen me staring at you so much it's because I can’t comprehend how someone so dim could be a fire bender". The boy did not like that comment but somehow was still undeterred. "Now I know you like me" he smirked and you glared. You went to walk away when he grabbed your arm "hey we’re not done". "Yes we are let go" you said stiffly but Dasak only smirked "make me" leaning down to you. You rapidly broke out of his grip and hit his shoulder hard sending him stumbling back. “When a girl says no she means it! You better learn that because I expect a lot of girls will reject you until your daddy finally throws enough money at one of them”. You turned away muttering "asshole" under your breath and Iroh saw Dasak’s face contort in rage and he made to follow you. Iroh reacted instinctively as he saw the boy reach for you and he rushed into the middle of the corridor. "Don’t even think about it Dasak" he said placing himself in front of you. "Ahh look it's your prince puppy dog" Dasak smirked "what do you want Iroh?". "I want you to leave y/n alone". "Why? Are you going to fight her battles for her? That’s a change considering you usually hide behind her". "I'm not volunteering to fight you in place of her, y/n would kick your ass all the Ba Sing Sei and back better than I could, but I think she’s too good for that so I suggest you leave now". "Or what? What will you do?" Dasak asked swaggering to Iroh. "Huh? What are you gonna do prince boy?" the boy said jabbing a finger at Iroh’s chest “you always were too weak to fight back”. Iroh seized the boy’s wrist and twisted. Not hard enough to break it but hard enough to do some damage. Dasak cried out and Iroh grabbed him by the shirt “If I ever see you near y/n or hear you've been harassing any other women I’ll be paying you a visit and it won’t end so nicely, got it?". "You're insane" Dasak cried “you just attacked me! I won’t let you get away with this”. In response Iroh just rolled his eyes "go cry to the Firelord ow wait...he’s my grandfather" and he let the boy slump to the floor. "Let's go" he said to you softly and you nodded leading the way.
Iroh led you in the direction of the palace and on the journey you kept staring at him in shock. Iroh had never stood up to his bullies and he’d never had the confidence to say no to them either. He usually just took it with a stoic sense of calm but tonight he hadn't and you found it incredibly impressive and even...attractive. Seeing Iroh hold Dasak accountable and flex his own power and titles stirred something in you that you didn’t know existed. You knew Iroh could be charming and confident, you’d seen him play prince before so that wasn’t it. It was seeing him assert himself and stop taking shit that appealed to you. Confidence looked good on the prince of the fire nation.
You made it back to Iroh’s room and were still deep in thought about what had just happened. "So...” Iroh said jolting you out of your daze “did I totally make a fool of myself there?". Iroh stared at you and you blinked "are you kidding?". When Iroh didn’t reply you laughed "Iroh you were amazing! I thought Dasak was going to wet his pants". "He did deserve it...but don’t you hate me for using my title like that? I know we both hate when people do that and just did it like a hypocrite!". Iroh sunk down upset and you shook your head at how considerate he was. You smiled and walked closer to him. "Iroh listen to yourself. This was the first time in 18 years you've ever used your influence and it was to stop one of the biggest bigots in our school from harassing people. I think that's more than warranted". Iroh sighed still unsure when you carried on halting his train of thought. "Plus being assertive looks very good on you" you added with a smile. "It does?" Iroh gasped turning to face you. You nodded "you always just take stuff from them even though you could retaliate and I get it taking the high road is better and two wrong don’t make a right blah blah blah but it is satisfying to see someone like you get one over someone like that. Seeing you so confident and dominant...it suits you very well". Iroh was sure he was blushing vividly so couldn’t look up and respond to you at the same time. "You really think so?" he asked holding his breath. You nodded "definitely". “I....that’s good I guess” Iroh finally replied and you laughed. “What have I done? Now you’re going to be showing off for all the girls at the military like that aren’t you? I’m sure it will be effective but as prince do you even really need an act?”. “I won’t do it again” Iroh assured you. “I was surprised I even managed it tonight but I guess it was because it was you”. “Aw Iroh” you said smiling “don’t tell me you got all protective for me?”. Iroh was blushing vividly but answered honestly "yes and no...I'd have helped anyone but I think seeing him touch you definitely made me more ruthless. It made me angry and so that's why I grabbed him and decided to threaten him. I'm not usually an overprotective person but with you everything’s different...I like you a lot, I’d threaten anyone if it meant keeping you safe and happy". You smiled before pausing at the look on Iroh’s face. He was blushing vividly and couldn’t look at you. It couldn’t be because he'd been so honest about his feelings, you and Iroh often spoke about how much you loved one another so what was different this time?   
“Well I’m a lucky girl I guess” you said softly “I get a handsome prince who protects me and looks sexy while doing it”. 
Iroh’s blush skyrocketed and an idea formed in your head. Was there more to this than friendship? Did Iroh like you?
Deciding to test the water you ventured the subject. “Iroh you blush every time I mention how attractive you looked... do you like that I enjoyed it?". Iroh nodded without hesitation "a lot". Iroh finally looked up at you and you saw he was staring at you in a way you’d always thought was friendship but that was no mistaking how longingly he was looking at you now. “I value your opinion the most and if there was one girl I’d want to impress it’d be you y/n” he said softly “I want you to see me as more than a friend because that’s how I see you”. You smiled blushing softly and looked at Iroh “well I think you’re in luck because I’ve never seen a hotter guy than you today. Not just because of you’re dashing good looks or amazing body” you said resting a hand on his cheek “but because you were confident. You stood up for yourself and what was right. Seeing you assert yourself and demand to be treated correctly...it was the hottest thing I’ve ever seen”. The second you leaned forward Iroh crashed into you needing little encouragement. Iroh kissed you passionately and you smiled wrapping your arms around his neck. Iroh pulled you further into the room and rested you against the wall as he carried on kissing you like his life depended on it. You could tell this was something Iroh had wanted to do for a while and were surprised how easily you took to it. How hadn’t you realised you had feelings for Iroh all this time? The way you reacted to his touch showed you had and for a while too. You’d been too blind to even notice but you were very aware now. As Iroh moved on to kiss your neck you breathed heavily. When you’d finally recovered your breath you asked him how long he’d liked you. "Far too long" he replied in between kisses his voice far deeper than usual. "You should have told me sooner" you breathed "it could have saved us so much time". "You mean you like me too?" Iroh asked halting his attack on your neck. You stroked his cheek gently and smiled "of course I do Iroh" and kissed him again.
Soon things naturally progressed and after checking with you Iroh led you to his bed. You resumed kissing and soon found yourself on top of the prince of the fire nation. Iroh quickly gave away dominance to you and you smiled at how he fell apart whenever you touched him. You chuckled softly at the expression on Iroh’s face and just watched him for a moment. “Do you like when I kiss you? Would you like me to keep going Prince Iroh?”. Iroh froze at the mention of his title and his face changed "don’t call me prince Iroh, especially not now please". You nodded and reassured him immediately "no of course not, you don’t need titles. You're Iroh and that's perfect. Those four letters are all you need. Iroh" you smiled and in response, Iroh made a happy noise. "Iroh" you grinned trailing his neck "my Iroh". Suddenly Iroh tensed and you worried he was uncomfortable with that too but he only pulled you closer. "I like that one" he said deeply and you smiled "my Iroh?". He nodded "I've always been yours so I like hearing you say it, the way it rolls of your lips...". "You've always been my Iroh and I'm yours" you smiled "my Iroh" and Iroh grabbed you tightly.
***
Afterwards all of Iroh’s confidence went away. He began to panic. He knew he loved you but you’d only admitted to having an attraction to him nothing more. Sure you cared for him but as a friend. What if this was all just on a spur of the moment?
"You still awake?" You asked and Iroh jumped "yeah" he murmured. "Then why are you so quiet?" you asked turning to face him "are you nervous about what just happened?". Iroh nodded, unsurprised you could tell what was wrong with just one look at him. "I just...wanted this for so long and now I'm worried what this means for us". "Well what do you want it to mean?" you asked and Iroh sighed "whatever you want it to mean". You rolled your eyes at his useless answer and smiled softly. "Well I like you, a lot. Romantically and as a friend so if you want to stay friends or if you want to peruse this...". "Yes!' Iroh said immediately "i mean...I love your friendship but I feel things for you I know I'm never going to feel for anyone else. You mean everything to me y/n". You blushed and smiled "you mean everything to me too Iroh" and hugged him tightly. Iroh smiled and wrapped his arms around you. "We do have the worst timing though" you commented "I'm heading off to the Southern Water Tribe tomorrow and you'll be joining the army, that's a lot of distance". Iroh nodded but now he knew you wanted him he didn’t care about the barriers, he’d over come them all for you. "We can work around it" Iroh promised "I won't be deployed until I finish training which could take up to 2 years so I can write to you almost constantly and fly to see you every weekend”. You nodded "true...and I can fly back whenever we get time off of school, I'd travel any distance for you". Iroh smiled looking at you against him "me too" and kissed you. “For now we can enjoy the time we have, I don’t have to leave until tomorrow evening so I’m all yours tomorrow if you want me”. Iroh blushed but nodded earnestly “every second” and pulled you to his chest. You smiled against him and closed your eyes. 
The next morning you walked into breakfast together with Iroh’s family, hands together and they didn’t miss a beat before congratulating you. “I’m so pleased” Izumi cried seizing you in a hug “your parents and we always joked about this but we never in our wildest dreams imagined it would actually happen! Let me go find your father y/n he’s here in the palace!”. “Mom...” Iroh groaned but Izumi had already given the order to a servant. “Your sister will be thrilled” she said turning back around “you know how much she adores y/n”. “As we all do” Iroh’s father added and you blushed “thank you all so much...” when the door was thrown open. “What’s the emergency?” Bumi cried “the servant said to come as fast as I could so I left all the councillors and...y/n?” he asked spotting you. “Hi dad” you smiled and Izumi winced “perhaps I was a bit too vague. There’s no emergency more just a very happy occasion” she gestured to you and Iroh and your father just stared. “Our children...”. Izumi sighed “they’re dating Bumi”. Your dad thought for a few seconds before it hit him “they are?” he asked “that’s wonderful news!”. “It is?” you asked as your father squeezed you in a hug before moving onto Iroh. “Of course” Bumi smiled  “your mother and I always approved of Iroh and we suspected he had a small crush on you all this time...so i’m very pleased to hear you finally told her” he said to Iroh who was bright red but managed to nod “me too”. “But you’ve picked the worst timing son” Iroh’s father winced “y/n aren’t you leaving for the water tribe now?”. You nodded “yes but we’re going to write every day and visit each other when we can”. Bumi frowned “I remember me and your mother having a similar routine being at sea so often...it’s difficult and tiresome”. You and Iroh hesitated but your father carried on. “So i’d like to ease it any way I can. Y/n me and your mother were going to wait until you’d started medical school but to hell with it! We’ve got you a boat”. Your eyes widened “what?”. Your father always loved surprises and he was revealing in this one. “A boat!” he cried again “nothing fancy mind you, just something that can run you to the water tribe and back. It has good mileage and is very energy efficient. Hopefully this should help the two of you stay connected”. You and Iroh spluttered “i’ll say! Thank you dad” and you hugged him. Izumi smiled watching the two of you “I agree with Bumi’s sentiment, Iroh if you ever need to use the airship to see y/n or bring her back here it’s your”. You and Iroh gaped again and rushed to hug Izumi too. 
“You know...I thought they’d be happy but I never thought they’d be this excited” you commented to Iroh who nodded. He looked to where your parents all sat together excitedly discussing the two of you. “I knew they’d get together eventually” your father cried and you cringed. “It seems everyone knew we liked each other but us”. Iroh nodded “traitors! If they’d have told us then it would’ve been so much easier”. You laughed “my thoughts exactly”. Iroh smiled back before he went serious “y/n I know even with our parent's gifts the distance will be hard but I want you to know I’m completely dedicated to you. The second I finish training I’ll move to wherever you are and I’ll always put you before work”. You smiled “funny I was going to say the same thing to you. I know we’ve only been together since last night but it just fits so well. I’m going to do everything in my power to make the distance not matter and I know we can get through this”. “Without a doubt” Iroh agreed, pulling you against him in a hug. You smiled and relaxed against your boyfriend, closing your eyes. “We’ve got our whole lives together, we can do this”. Iroh nodded “before the future always made me nervous but now...I just feel excited. I can’t wait to experience our future with you right beside me”. You grinned “what are best friends for?”.
 ____
Disclaimer, i hate dancing and always hated that when you don’t like something popular you’re made to feel like a freak so now Iroh hates dancing too cus solidarity.  
I also really want a boat so I added that in too. 
Writing is great! You just live vicariously through your characters.

Hello!
I really love your headcannons about Strawhats with Teen reader, that's why...
If you don't mind - Can I ask for Platonic Strawhats with Female! Teen reader that tend to be the quietest in the crew because of her shyness?
I also had and the next idea after this one- but I don't want to overwhelm you with it. Take care of yourself!
Have a nice day!
Sorry for the wait, here you go!
Luffy
He was intrigued by you
That’s why he forced you onto his ship. And then he realized that instead of having a convoluted backstory, you were shy
And quite honestly it was refreshing
Even though he likes being around Chopper and Usopp and be loud as heck, he likes spending time with you
You balance him out
And even though you’re not an adult, he’ll go to you for advice. This makes the rest of the crew confused (and low-key mad) because he doesn't want their advice
But most of the time he doesn’t take your advice anyways
I think that you two are close, seeing as he is endlessly extroverted and will break through your walls no matter how hard you try
Most of the time he leaves you to your own devices, but he will drag you to large parties and make you feel as welcome as possible
He does the same on the ship, but that was never a problem anyways because everyone likes you
Feels the need to protect you, not only because you’re a member of the crew, but also because you’re the youngest
10/10 I can see him giving you some of his food (only some)
Zoro
Ultimate big brother vibes
Likes to go to you for a quiet space because the ship can be loud
So he spends a lot of time with you… sleeping
He also half-asks questions to fill up the space and gets to know you pretty well
He also feels a need to protect you since he sees you as kinda weak (but almost everyone is weaker compared to him)
He will also feel the need to shield you from the craziness of the ship
Like sir, it’s nice that you care, but they can take care of themselves too you know?
Doesn't incorporate you into the crew since… he’s mostly sleeping. But he would try, and he would fail because they already like you
Cue him being shocked that he wasn’t your only friend on board, but to be fair he is sleeping most of the time and not watching you
He likes the calmness you bring to the ship, good for his meditation sessions (but I don't think you want to just sit there why he meditates)
I can see you having fun with him and Chopper, maybe play a board game
8/10 calm down sir, they can take care of themselves
Nami
She’s like the cool and fun older sister
She likes to dress you up in her old clothes, and then gush about how cute you look (no, not her super tiny bikinis)
She takes it onto herself to guide you through… whatever I guess
Also feels the need to protect you from dudes
I think that she gives good advice, but when combined with Robin the two of them give life-altering wisdom
You can go to her for anything from how to sew to how to manipulate people
Always gives you juice when the crew starts drinking
If the ship starts to get too rowdy she will shout at everyone to keep it down, and then turn to smile at you as if her actions were for you
She will share her tangerines with you
I think that she wants to protect you, but is frustrated at the fact that she can’t be as strong as the Monster trio (but everything works out in the end)
If you borrow money from her, she will reduce the interest (only by a little)
9/10 only downside is the interest (if you ever borrow money)
Usopp
He was high-key suspicious of you
To be fair he is suspicious of anyone and everything, and seeing as you were quiet he was on the edge
But after you saved his life, he gets all buddy-buddy (really Usopp? You got saved by a teenager)
I think the two of you would get to know each other when he’s working on a new invention, and you guys are having idle chatter
Now he tried to act like a cool older brother. Always ready to swoop in and talk about his “accomplishments”
He will do just about anything to make you laugh
I can see some crazy (but fun) times with him, Chopper, and Luffy
He would give bad advice, but occasionally he does have some piece of wisdom
He would try to protect you, but… yeah
He ends up feeling bad, and incompetent. But tell him that he was amazing or something and he’ll be fine
I think he would get frustrated when you beat him at a game of cards
10/10 he is just so fun to be around
Sanji
Also acts like an older brother
He tries to protect you from guys, saying that they’re all dogs (but then you point out that he’s a guy)
This also means he tries to limit your time around Zoro, saying that he’s a bad influence
Then the two start to fight and right as they pull you into it, Nami hits both of them and carries you off to eat or something
Gives you more food because you’re still growing
He is a surprisingly good listener and when he chimes in his advice are always good
And like all of the crew, he will try to protect you from danger (ma’am you are still a teen, why are you on this ship? Oh wait, Luffy…)
I said he acts like your older brother, but he also acts like a proud dad sometimes
Like sir, why are you crying? All they did was perform twinkle twinkle little star on the piano (Brook taught you)
He also tries to restrain his pervert tendencies around you, but when they inevitably happen he can’t look you in the eyes for several days (he also smokes more. It gets to a point where you have to confront him)
He also teaches you how to cook
8/10 he can get a little extra sometimes
Chopper
If things get too crazy on the ship, he likes to go to you
I feel like he would try to act like a big brother, but you would just pet him (sorry Chopper)
I can see Chopper trying to get you to socialize more with the crew. Just drags you out with his tiny Reindeer paws
I can see you confiding in him a lot because it’s kinda like venting to a stuffed animal (again, sorry Chopper)
He gives (almost) child-like advice, but it’s so simple and it always works
I think you would beat both him and Usopp at games, and then they would proceed to chase you around
He would try to protect you, but he also knows that you need to push yourself to get stronger, so he lets you fight some of your fights
When you end up hurt, he always makes sure to be extra vigilant with your care
I believe that you would also try to protect him, but his pride would end up hurt
I think you two would spend a lot of time in his office for a quiet place to read (and for him to do work)
He makes you help him organize stuff
10/10 a great duo
Robin
She is the kind older sister
She is such a good listener, and her advice would solve all of the world's problems
If things get crazy on the ship, you go to her. She has the presence of calm around her that just soothes you
I think she would also like to participate in dressing you up with Nami. That means you get to wear Nami’s old clothes and Robin’s old clothes
Robin always has an extra book and cup of tea reserved for you. Tea times are when you two like to ramble about anything and everything. This is also the place where you can vent and the both of you talk about your past
She would like to teach you about world history, while you listen and ask questions
She would try to teach you how to read one glyph, but if it’s too hard she stops (and low-key gets sad)
Robin also lets you help her garden. She enjoys having a person keep her company while she does the things that make her happy
She thinks that you are too adorable, and that also makes her go into a momma bear mode when she thinks you are in danger
She will yell at crew members, and she will annihilate the enemies
Robin sees you in a similar way to Chopper, so if you say something dirty or cuss, her image of you will be ruined
10/10 she is perfection
Franky
I see him as a weird uncle figure
He mostly hides in his workshop and creates weird but cool inventions while you watch him and ask what he is doing
I don’t see you two talking about important things, just you two having fun and making jokes
He is fun to watch, but when he tries to get you to participate— it’s even more fun
I can see Robin trying to shield you from him (hey, he says he’s a pervert)
He would share his cola with you (I can see some very fun crew bonding time when everyone gets cola and huddles around Franky’s new invention)
Franky is the opposite of shy, so sometimes it gets to be a bit too much
Like sir, please leave them alone for one second
I think that Franky and Usopp would try to teach you how to make things
And if you like to prank people… they’ve created a monster
Expect all three of you to get yelled at
8/10 pretty good, but he does say some stuff that you don’t get sometimes
Brook
Another weird uncle
When he asked to see your panties, both Robin and Nami slapped him so hard, he had flown off
He never asked again
I can see him joining in on the Robin history over tea, and add things in he knows from living during the period (dang he’s old)
He occasionally makes the tea you three drink
I think he would try to teach you how to use a sword, and then get yelled at so he teaches you to play instruments instead
He’s a surprisingly easy-going teacher, if you don’t practice he’s not mad. He just assumes you don't want to learn. That means he won’t teach you, which leads you to practice
He would let you peek inside of his skull and then jumpscare you. It works every time
Brook would tell you about what he did during the two-year time skip, all while you’re laughing at the fact they called him Satan
I think that being around you and Luffy would make him remember his days as a teen
Starts to get all weary like a dad (and just like Sanji)
7/10 rough start, but good ending
Jinbei
He is the dad (not like, is)
He is always concerned for your health, and whether you should be fighting or not
He told Luffy that it was ridiculous to bring a teen on board, but then he realized Luffy is only 19…
Jinbei is always there to make sure you feel included, and will often leave the crew’s festivities just to hang out with you
Honestly, his old man self likes the quiet you bring
If you ask him, he’ll tell you about Fishman history (also over Robin History Tea Times)
100% tries to protect you. I think that can make you frustrated at times, but he has saved you so you can’t be too mad
So he teaches you Fishman Karate (it gets Robin’s stamp of approval because there are no sharp objects)
Jinbei gives the best advice, again dad and old man
He’s able to see different perspectives and tell you the best course of action (that gets annoying when you just want him to take your side, but you have Nami and Robin for that)
Also is proud of you when you achieve something (part of the tears dad group)
10/10 every group needs a parent figure

you've brought this upon yourself :> may i request cc!bench trio with reader at a skate park? personally i see ranboo being more of a roller skates guy than a skateboard guy. i can also see reader trying to teach tommy how to skateboard and teaching him a few tricks along the way but like the dumbass tommy is he falls and they all have a laugh about it- platonic ofc! tysm :>> -froggy
You really have some top tier stuff going here, your requests make me want to forget having a social life and just spend all day on my laptop writing <3
Tumblr media
Summary: You and the boys go to the skatepark, but Tommy doesn’t know how to skate
Genre: fluff
Pairings: P!Bench Trio X Reader
Pronouns: They/Them
[A/n]: Requests are open :] <3
Tumblr media
You smiled and waved excitedly when you saw the three boys approaching. You had been waiting all week for the chance to skate with them, especially after hearing that Ranboo was in the UK.
You had known the three boys for a while now, having met Tommy in school and being introduced to the other two through him. So when you heard that Ranboo would be in the UK for a while you jumped at the opportunity to hang out together as a quad.
Though to your surprise, Ranboo and Tubbo had brought roller skates instead of boards.
"Gonna roller skate?"
"Yeah, Ranboo prefers roller skates and I didn't want him to feel lonely so I brought mine as well."
"Oh cool!" The duo headed to a nearby bench to put on their roller skates, leaving you and Tommy. From just the way Tommy was holding his board, you could tell he had never ridden before. Though you still took the opportunity to tease him.
"Alright big man, you ready to ride?" A brief look of panic flashes across his face before it was replaced with fake confidence. He had seen Tubbo ride on it plenty of times, it didn't look that hard. Swallowing his fear, he nodded and followed you to an area with smaller ramps.
"You wanna go first or do you want me to."
"Uh, you can go first, that way when you fail I can show you how good I am."
"Tommy, I know you have no idea how to ride. I've just been messing with you." Tommy seemed to physically relax for a moment.
"That's not very nice." Tommy looked at you with a blank face and shook his head, though that serious moment was quickly ended when the two of you burst into laughter.
"You were really just gonna let me eat shit and get hurt?"
"No! That's why I said something because I knew that's exactly what you'd do. I can teach you how to ride if you want, I've taught a couple other people." Tommy nodded and the two of you moved over to a flat area so that Tommy could learn easier. Passing Tubbo and Ranboo on the way, you guys waved and they waved back. At least those two knew what they were doing.
"Ok, so the first step is figuring out which way you want to stand on it. Are you a righty or a lefty?"
"Both."
"Fuck that's right. Well, you've seen Tubbo ride before right?"
"Yeah, what does that have to do with this?"
"So you've seen how he stands on the board, so I want you to stand on the board the same way but try switching between your right and left foot forward and see which one feels more comfortable." Tommy did just that, switching between the two a few times. Eventually, he settled on having his left in the front and his right in the back.
"Alright now there's keeping your balance while moving. Do you have good balance?"
"Uh, I think so."
"Ok well stand on the board and give me your hands." Tommy did just that, although he was confused as to why.
Holding his hands tightly in yours, you began to move sideways, the motion pushing the board forwards. Tommy let out a surprised woah but kept very calm, and his balance was amazing too.
"Alright, we're gonna move a little faster ok?"
"Ok." Even at a faster speed, he was still able to balance well and keep cool. Coming to a stop, Tommy stepped off the board.
"Geez dude, you're a natural. How come you never learned sooner?"
"I don't know, I never really had a reason to learn. If I knew all four of us were gonna one day meet up and go skating together, maybe I would've considered it more but it was just never something I thought about."
"You've got a board though, so you've had to have thought of it at some point."
"Actually, I borrowed this from Tubbo, but I'll probably buy one of my own soon." You nodded and went to say something else but were cut off by a loud scream. Turning around you saw Ranboo laying on the ground and Tubbo stood next time.
You and Tommy booked it over and started asking if he was ok.
"He's fine he's just being overdramatic."
"I think I broke my butt." The four of you burst into laughter, finding humor in Ranboo's words.
"Well I don't know about you three but I'm starving. Wanna go get lunch, my treat?" There was an immediate chorus of yes's from all three boys, their fast response making you chuckle.
"Alright well get up, get your stuff, and let's go." All three boys raced off towards their things, grabbing them as fast as they could.
With everything and everyone all set, the four of you headed off. Hopefully, lunch would be less chaotic than the skate park.

to have and to hold | juri vips
summary: Juri Vips was a bastard of a teammate. Mostly just because you were insanely in love with him and his flirtatious ways. Juri senses a change in your behaviour and when things begin going back to normal, Juri just fucks it up again. (Similar premise to the Mr & Mrs imagine with Liam, but different[?])
word count: 2894
warnings: swearing, still. i don't think i should have to put warnings about swearing anymore, it's basically a given.
Tumblr media
Working with Juri Vips was a fucking trainwreck. There was no light way to put it, it was messy, it was painful, and yet you could never stop fucking staring at him. Being his teammate in F2 for the past year and a half, the two of you had gotten quite close, to the point where his family invited you on vacation with them when they were going, and you had joined them once, but realised about two hours in, that it was a thinly veiled attempt from literally his entire family to get the two of you together.
And while you were all for it, being forced to spend so much time with Juri, while he was shirtless nonetheless, was a literal dream come true, it was also incredibly painful for you to stop from pouncing on him at any given moment. Because as much as his family thought there was something between you, it was purely Juri’s charisma and character to be almost constantly flirting with you.
You remember the first time the two of you, a few other F2 drivers had come along as well, had gone to the beach and he had seen you bust out the bikini you knew made you look like a hot piece, he hadn’t shut up about it, or you, for weeks afterwards.
“Well look at you, little miss supermodel. I would have thought you’d be walking catwalks with legs like that, not pushing pedals like the rest of us. God, you look like you just stepped out of my dreams and onto this beach. If you keep looking like that, I think I might have a problem to deal with later in the shower.” He had hollered, and many of the guys around you either joined in or had nothing to say but gawk. Juri’s comments had cemented themselves in your brain however, calling back upon them whenever you felt less than top dollar, which you had to admit was becoming more often in recent months.
Juri had noticed your slowly waning confidence, of course he had. His gorgeous view of you in crop tops, little skirts, and tight shorts had turned into oversized shorts, hoodies, and ill-fitting jeans. All of which still made you the most beautiful girl in the world, but there was something missing from your aura, a general happiness that had been lacking since the new season started a few months ago. In the entire time Juri had known you, you were never one to listen to other’s opinions of you, whether they be good or bad, the only people you had ever listened to and taken words to heart from were himself, your parents, and your boyfriend.
Somehow in the span of about three minutes, Juri had tracked the four most likely culprits of your diminished ego. He knew he hadn’t said anything harmful or damaging to you since the season began, as many of your conversations had revolved around racing, other drivers in the paddock, or your family. Your parents, he was confident in, he had met them many times before, and they were always genuinely warm and welcoming, he supposed there might have been another side to them, though he believed he would have picked up on it by now. Which leaves only your boyfriend, whom Juri had zero confidence in.
Tye was nice, almost disgustingly so, but he was also much too proud of being nice for it to be genuine. He would open car doors for you, give you flowers every few months, and once bought you a necklace with a pendant of his name. But you would never forget that he did those things for you, because as soon as you would mention something relatively negative, those few acts of kindness were shoved down your throat.
Juri, of course, was not privy to that information. All he knew was that Tye’s possessive behaviour and complete lack of care for your wishes meant that there was something beneath the surface Juri was sure was the reason for your confidence, or lack thereof.
So when you came into work one day, to continue shooting some videos for the YouTube channel, wearing a gorgeously fitted pair of jeans, and a halter-neck singlet, Juri knew something was afoot. Also notable was your lack of gold necklace and your beaming smile toward the Estonian.
“You gonna keep staring like that, or do you want to take a photo?” You asked, your voice holding the teasing lilt Juri had missed in the past weeks. Without breaking his gaze from your body, Juri reached into the pocket of his shorts, his hand retrieving his phone and taking a photo of you standing there, tight clothes and bright smile in all its glory. He smirked when he saw your barely concealed smile.
“You’re in a much better mood than usual. What happened?” Juri couldn’t help but ask, the drastic shift in your mood was more than intriguing to him. Your smile widened, taking the last few steps toward his position in a chair behind the large conference table.
“I lost 80 kilos last night.” You whispered, leaning in closer to Juri, the glint in your eyes, the proximity and the tone were all so familiar to him that he couldn’t help but meet you halfway, barely three inches between your faces as the words processed in his mind.
Juri glanced down at your body confusedly, trying to figure out where exactly the 80kg had disappeared from. Then, the pieces began clicking into place. The lack of gold necklace, the tighter clothes, the glowing smile, none of which would have been staring Juri in the face if Tye had a say.
“You dumped Tye?” Juri questioned, his eyes lighting up, his raise in volume betraying just how excited he was for you, and himself. You nodded, eyes softening as you watched the pure joy cross Juri’s face. Him being happy was something that always warmed your heart, but Juri being happy about you finally being happy? You were sure your knees were about to buckle.
“I’m glad. I can have you all to myself now.” Juri grumbled, reaching for your hands that were braced against the arms of his chair. With a sharp tug, your balance was offset, and your body was tumbling toward Juri’s. You landed with a giggle in Juri’s lap, his own laughter joining yours and the two of you simply enjoyed each other’s presence after having an intangible wall built between you during your relationship with Tye.
Juri couldn’t hold a taken woman like he loved her, not when that taken woman wasn’t his to hold. And you, how could you revel in the feel of man’s touch that was anyone’s but the man you supposedly loved. You couldn’t break out in goosebumps, or have a shiver roll down your spine when you felt the familiar pressure of his calloused fingertips pressing into the skin of your back, desperate to keep you close. You weren’t allowed to sigh in content when you felt the warmth of his body seep into your skin, or whimper when his hot breath rolled over the skin of your neck.
But now you could. Now, without the moral implications of enjoying another man, you could sink into this all-consuming feeling you have when Juri is near.
“Morning you two. We’ve got a video to film in the garage if you want to follow me?” The social media manager, Georgina,  a lovely woman in her 40s whom you always went to for advice and style tips, poked her head into the room you and Juri were tangled in, a cheeky smile on her face when she spotted the somewhat compromising position. A blush fell heavy on your cheeks, and you were quick to try and scramble away from Juri.
He had other ideas though. When Juri began moving, you clutched onto him for dear life, terrified of falling to the ground even though it was only about two feet. Your arms circled around his neck, your legs fully wrapping around his hips from where you were straddling him on the chair. His large hands came to rest on the underside of your thighs, hoisting you up higher on his body. Your legs clenched around his middle, the feel of his fingers pushing into the soft skin of your legs was electrifying, and you were sure if you didn’t have a video to film, you would have been telling the Estonian to find an unoccupied office to take what he needed from you.
But alas, you had a job to do. So, still wrapped around Juri like a vice, he carried you through the Hitech office, nodding to other staff you passed, and occasionally nuzzling his nose into your neck to get a good whiff of your perfume. Juri had said multiple times the scent was intoxicating and could bring any man to his knees. You may have gone out and bought an extra bottle to ensure you never ran out after that.
After a few minutes, you stepped into the garage with Juri, well, he stepped in you just kind of floated in. The scent of grease, rubber and a slight hint of fuel invaded your nostrils, and you sighed in content. Juri chuckled at your actions, he always loved watching you step into a garage, or out onto the pit lane to take in the smells of burnt rubber. You told him every time he laughed at you that it evoked a calm feeling within you, it was nostalgic, filled with happy memories from your childhood and the memories of races you shared with Juri on track.
“Alright lovebirds, can we get you in these chairs and we’ll start explaining while we finish getting set up.” Georgina stated, smiling fondly at the love between her two youngsters. Juri sat you down in one of the chairs sitting before the cameras, not leaving your side for long as he planted himself in his own chair and dragged you as close as possible.
Georgina explained the rules of the game, and the way you would be playing it, choosing you to sit in the background listening to music whilst Juri answered questions about you. First, they gave you a list of questions about yourself, asking to circle the correct answers and they would be compared to Juri’s during the game.
“Ok Juri, the first question. How old was Y/N when she started karting?” Georgina questioned. She watched you in the background closely to ensure you couldn’t hear anything, but you were blissfully unaware of everything around you, headphones in your ears, legs tucked up on the chair, scrolling through your phone with the occasional giggle escaping your lips. Each time Juri heard the angelic sound, he would turn to look at you with a look so soft it made the entire team’s heart swell.
“Uh, I think she was 10, I know she started late because she had to argue with her parents to let her do it with her brothers, and I think 10 is about the right age.” Juri answered, looking as though he was thinking quite hard about it. It had been a long time since the two of you discussed your start in karting, it was one of the first conversations you had together, and since then you hadn’t had to talk about generic teammate topics. Juri was proud that he remembered something seemingly insignificant from a year and a half ago, but supposed when it came to you he could never forget a thing.
“Alright, next question. What is Y/N’s biggest fear? Is it A, the ocean, B, goblins, or C, heights?” Juri’s eyes nearly bulged out of his head when he heard the second answer, trying to figure out why it was even an option in the first place. His eyes focused on one spot on the floor, his brain moving a mile a minute to analyse conversations he had with you.
“Well, we’ve been to the beach together a few times, and thinking back I don’t think she’s ever gotten into the water. So maybe the ocean, but she also said once when we were looking at a castle that she doesn’t like gargoyles, so goblins could be a thing. But she’s definitely not scared of heights. She’s gone skydiving, bungee jumping and climbed bridges and things like that. So I’m going to say the ocean. I feel like I would definitely know if she was scared of something like goblins.” Juri laughed, his eyes still glued to the spot on the floor, his thoughts flowing through his mouth with little consideration of how they could be interpreted.
“What is something Y/N never leaves the house with?” Georgina was hopeful for this question, she was sure it could be the catalyst for the two drivers to finally own up to their feelings after reading your answer. Juri listened to the multiple choice answers, but none of them sounded just right.
“So, the rings sound the closest, but sometimes she will wear lots, and other times only a few, and when she can’t wear them on her hands, she’ll thread it onto a necklace to wear under her race suit, or something so yeah, I’d say the rings.” Juri answered, turning to look at you behind him, wearing the exact ring he was talking about on the ring finger of your right hand.
“And what ring is the one she wears on her necklace?” Georgina probed, knowing the answer and just wanting to see the way Juri heated up when he talked about it.
“Uh, it’s a diamond ring that has a J engraved on the inside.” Juri answered, his cheeks turning an adorable shade of pink. A smile broke out on your face as you watched Juri, his flustered state always made you giggle as he was such a confident and put-together person usually. As a habit, you began spinning the ring on your right hand around, feeling the shape of the diamonds and knowing the initial carved into the inside was a claim over you.
“Do you know where she got it?” Georgina asked. She was getting frustrated, Juri was much more calm about revealing the intimacy of the ring than she had hoped.
“I gave it to her. About a year ago, and then she gave me a necklace with an (your initial) on it. I wear it every day, and it’s the only piece of jewellery I wear while I drive.” Juri answered, his fingers reaching up to toy with the thin gold chain hidden beneath his shirt. He looked over his shoulder at you, spotting the spinning ring immediately and smiling at you.
You looked up at him, a dazed look as you stared at the gorgeous man in front of you. He could see the stars in your eyes, staring at him as though he hung the moon, and if he was honest with himself, if you asked, he would. There was nothing you could ask of him that would be too much, even if you didn’t ask, he would do everything for you. No one had ever held this power over him, he wasn’t even sure it would feel this good if it were anyone else, but you just did something to him. You unlocked a part of him he didn’t know existed.
You were just, everything. To him. You were everything he ever wanted, ever needed, even everything he didn’t know he needed. You opened him up, poured sunshine into his life in the form of your smile, happiness penetrated his bones because of your laugh. He didn’t want to lose that again, didn’t want to lose you to another man. He needed you, and he needed you now.
It was like slow motion, the way Juri surged out of his chair toward you, his hands cupping your jaw roughly as he guided you to your feet. The laptop on the ground pulled the earphones from your ears, your phone clattering to the floor in your surprise. Your hands reached up to fist in his shirts, not wanting to lose this proximity. You had him in your grasp and you’d be damned if you ever let him go again.
Juri pressed his lips to yours, as soft and warm as you’d imagined them so many times before. You kissed him back with ferocity, the eighteen months worth of emotion poured into a kiss to communicate your feelings in a way that didn’t need words. He kissed back just as fiercely, his hands holding your face still to allow him to do exactly what he needed. You were pliable to his every demand, putty in his hands. Juri had always had this effect on you, every fleeting touch or brush of a hand on your waist made your knees weak and your stomach flutter with the force of a thousand butterflies.
Juri pulled away, barely a breath between your lips as he panted slightly. Your eyes were trained on his lips, the fullness of his bottom lip, the redness from your assault on them making them look all the more kissable.
“So, how about we switch that ring to the other hand and really make this a Mr & Mrs video?”

You Live In Sweatpants And Hoodies (GeorgeNotFound)
MASTERLIST
pairing : georgenotfound / george x influencer!reader. 
summary : george and your fans realize that under all the sweaters, you have a body. 
a/n : if you are wondering what dress i was talking about, search up jennie short black dress :)
before social media, you studied law and got a degree in it but ended up not using it due to your social media career sky rocketing. 
but you never thought studying was a waste, that could be your backup, after all. social media doesn’t last forever. and you were ready to accept any difficulties since you knew you had plan b. 
you, till this day, could not describe what you do on social media. it started with tiktok. everything nowadays started with tiktok. but you were one of the first people who was on it. 
and then tiktokers would make their way onto youtube to sustain their “career” and grow. so that’s what you did. you never abandoned that app, though. especially not now, everyone on that app is seriously hilarious. 
your content on youtube was all over the place. once, for a video, you talked to weird men on omegle and tinder. another time, you would try different aesthetics on yourself. 
but here’s the catch, you’ve never really worn revealing clothes. your mum had always told you to never deprive yourself from what she says “fun young girl things” which is dressing up, or down, in her say and go have fun with your friends. 
but since the pandemic hit, you have had no where to go anyways, and you never really liked to show off your body. it’s not that you felt uncomfortable doing it, it’s just that you’ve never had the reason to. 
you also didn’t grow up girly. you hated dresses, especially short and tight dresses. and you weren’t a fan of wearing shorts either. you always opted to go comfy. 
whenever you post a tiktok, you always wore your signature hoodie and sweatpants that were clearly sizes too big for you. but you liked it, it’s comfortable to sleep in. 
and whenever you had to pan down to show your outfits on youtube, you were always caught wearing jeans and a baggy shirt, just styled differently, according to the aesthetic of the video you were filming for. 
you heard your phone ring from the couch. you picked it up, knowing who it was anyways. “morning, cutie.” you stared. 
“morning b.” george greets you, hair everywhere, clearly just woken up. 
you and george met on tiktok, just like all good friends do. he had duetted a tiktok of yours and you found him hilarious. you quickly followed him on every single social media platform he was in. you even set an alarm in case he ever streams and you’re asleep. 
you two are close. some would say you two are dating, but you two haven’t figured it out yet. you two didn’t really want to disclose it anyways, you two knew your not so secret feelings for each other, anyways. 
remember when he called you ‘b’? yeah that stands for ‘bub’. he thought it would be cute for him to have a different nickname than the usual “baby” or “babe”. 
you two actually live very near each other, making it way easier as a couple, but since england was put into a quarantine order, you two didn’t meet often. 
some would probably ask why you’d have to set an alarm when he streams when you two clearly are in the same timezone? well, that boy had no sense of time and a terrible sleeping schedule. it amazed you at how early he got up today. 
that facetime call lasted about half an hour before you told him you needed to stream on twitch today, to which he responded to you that he’s watch it later. 
today, you had a surprise. for the world. you can’t believe you even thought about this but it was about time you showed off to the world what assets you’ve been blessed with. 
speaking of showing off. no, you weren’t a particularly insecure person, you were just comfortable in the clothes you’re in. but celebrating the long time you’ve been on social media, and it being your birthday, you thought it might be fitting. 
george and you agreed to not make anything special about your birthday. you hated parties and large gatherings, and since you were still in the middle of a pandemic, you used that as an excuse to not go out. 
you spent the longest time searching for a good enough outfit for this day. and you found it. you decided to pick a pretty simple dress, a black short dress that went to your mid thigh, that showed off your waist, spaghetti strapped and a little backless. 
you walked out the shower, your robe on as you walked to your bathroom counters to dry your hair. you didn’t really bother to style it, just leaving you straight long hair down. 
you put on the most basic white sneakers you could find to still make it casual, and you thought it went well together, anyways.
you finished you makeup and took a good look at yourself. you had been aware that you only wore baggy clothes, so this was a huge change. you twirled yourself, feeling confident. 
you couldn’t wait for people to have heart attacks. 
you sat on your gaming chair, getting ready to start your stream. 
before you started your stream, you made sure you left your facecam turned off first. 
you went live. chat was confused since this was the first time that you’re not on facecam. all they could see at the moment was the caption “IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!” that you typed on your notes app on your computer.
“hi, chat.” you said, to calm them down a little. 
you heard your phone go off, a text notification. which you knew was george since he had a special notification ping on your phone. 
it said “did you forget to turn on your cam?” 
you laughed at that. “no, chat, i haven’t forgotten to turn on my facecam, just wait for a sec, please.” 
you felt giddy, excited for the reactions. 
instead of wearing your cute cat headphones, you wore your airpods instead to get the whole look going. 
you let out a sigh before moving your mouse cursor to linger on the ‘start recording camera’ button. you clicked on it, before moving your chair back to fully say hi to your chat. 
you brought your hands up to wave to the camera. you tilted your head slightly. “soooo, it’s my birthday.” you said. 
chat was going crazy so you stopped reading them so you wouldn’t get a headache. the donations went crazy too, but you tried your best to read them all. 
you thanked the people who subscribed to you or gifted you subs. 
“360 of this dress? sure, i’ll give you a twirl.” you replied a dono. 
you stood up, and rolled your gaming chair away so that they can see your whole outfit. you spun around once, quickly telling them where you got the dress from. 
you tried to hold your foot on one hand, balancing yourself to show them that you could go casual in this dress too. 
what you noticed was that, your phone hadn’t stopped beeping from a text notification, which belonged to the one and only georgenotfound. 
and since maybe he noticed that you won’t check your phone, he sent a donation instead. 
“WHAT THE FUCK.” the monotoned voice read out the donation, which was from george. 
you facepalmed, knowing exactly what his reaction is like at home. 
“I’M COMING OVER.” the voice said again. you laughed at his antics. 
“see you then.” you replied, laughing, knowing he was joking around anyways.

GEORGE’S POV 
she thinks i’m joking, isn’t she? 
well, she gave me her spare key for a reason, and this would be the best reason. 
i knew i wanted to come around anyways. just after her stream. i promised her no going out, but not no gifts and ordering in. 
sneaky, i know. 
i had a plan brewing in my mind. to walk in her house as quietly as possible, to surprise her. 
after seeing her in that dress, i don’t think i can stand our fans not knowing we aren’t dating. 
i know, i haven’t really asked her out, but we kinda both agreed that there was no use, knowing each other’s feeling was good enough and that we didn’t need to do anything extravagant. 
i don’t know what she’s tell her fans but i’m sure i hadn’t disclose our relationship. the fans shipped us, sure, but i don’t think i’ve ever said it out loud. 
we knew we’d have to say it someday. so i thought, why not today? as i surprised her at her own house. 
her fans watching her stream are tweeting at me like crazy. no one had seen her like that. she practically lives in sweats and hoodies, constantly. 
the most fitting thing i’ve seen her wear is skinny jeans, but she would always wear a baggy top with it. people always say she drowns in her clothes, but i never complained, she looked good either ways. 
but seeing her in that dress, damn. i needed to be there and hug her, kiss her. i couldn’t wait to see her in that dress, right in front of my eyes. 
our observant fans or close friends have asked if she dresses the same at home, and my answer always stayed the same. that she lives in baggy clothes. 
there are some creepy people out there who would ask that question in a sexual way. thinking i’ve seen her in less. but truthfully, i haven’t. we’re not pass that stage, and we prefer it this way. 
what the fans see is what i see on the daily, too. 
and no, me going to her house to see her more clearly in that dress doesn’t mean we’re doing anything. i just want to observe her beauty. see what she’s hid from me.

YOUR POV
chat was going crazy over george’s donation. but you still laughed it off. it’s all a joke anyways, him coming over. 
he was coming over later, after noon, so he wouldn’t just drop everything to see you right now. 
“geez. chill out, chat, george was joking.” you told them. 
you sat on your gaming chair more comfortably as you started playing a couple rounds of among us with your fans. you told them not to cheat and watch your stream as they’re playing ad lucky you, they listened. 
for some reason, your chat still kept blowing up with george comments. maybe they were still caught up on that comment he said earlier. 
but you hadn’t thought that he’d be behind you the entire time, telling the chat to not make it obvious. 
“happy birthday, b” you heard a very familiar voice from behind you. 
you almost had a whiplash from how quick you turned your head to see who was behind you. 
you stood up to hug him, almost falling to the floor, stumbling on your own feet.
with the way you ran to him, he almost fell to the floor. “you’re here, you’re here.” you kept repeating it to him, not believing that he actually came. you knew he’d come later, but not this early. 
george moved you back gently to see your full outfit. you two were aware that the facecam is still on, and pointing to you two, seeing every move. 
“come here.” he whispered to you before grabbing your waist, to kiss you. 
you two took a little while enjoying each other’s company, still in front of everyone on twitch. 
he moved you back a little, turning you to face your gaming monitors. “MY GIRLFRIEND, EVERYBODY. isn’t she so hot, oh my god.” he said to the stream. 
you laughed at his stupid antics, covering your face with your hands as you blushed. 
your chat didn’t stop talking about the interaction, not believing that their ship was finally sailing. 
you played a couple more rounds of among us with them, george taking over sometime or making funny comments to entertain your chat while you played. 
after the stream, george and you took time to enjoy the time alone, ordering in your favourite food and opening gifts that he bought you. 
you forgot to mention that both of your twitter was blowing up too much that you had to mute it for a while. you knew that a lot had screenshot the cute moment. 
you took note to screenshot some of the photos on twitter later.

nct ideal types 2021 :: 127
dream version | the confirmed facts are all from various interviews or fan questions but ‘my thoughts’ may well not be accurate! this is just for fun~ mark and haechan are in the dream version
moon taeil
Tumblr media
confirmed: someone cute with a short bob hairstyle
my thoughts:
taeil is a super chill, laid back guy who gets along with more outgoing members like johnny and haechan. this makes me believe he’d want a funny, outgoing partner to balance with his personality
he mentioned cute so this makes me think small or petite. definitely shorter than him.
he said once that he would love to sing to his future girlfriend all the time (she will be so lucky oh my gosh). not to mention he is very passionate about music and dropped out of a prestigious music school to join nct. so he would definitely need someone who likes and appreciates music
he said if he were a girl, he’d date yuta out of all of the 127 members. so perhaps he just thinks yuta is boyfriend material, but maybe taeil is attracted to the strong-minded, caring type
seo johnny
Tumblr media
confirmed: someone who smiles at him a lot. similar to girl’s generation’s yoona
my thoughts: 
johnny seems to get along with everyone so this is a bit tricky to try to determine. he confirmed he likes yoona so going off of that, she’s obviously gorgeous and has a beautiful smile. her personality is also elegant, but down to earth and funny
he was voted by everyone including himself as the most romantic member. he says that he hopes one day he can build christmas trees with his wife just like he used to do with his mom (I’m so soft). I think he’s looking for someone who likes sappy romance and will flirt back with him
he’s tall. and since he named yoona as his ideal type, I think he’d prefer a taller girl (but not taller than him). then again, I’m not sure if he’d care all too much 
he said he would date doyoung if he were a girl so I think that entails someone easily tease-able, neat, and proper
lee taeyong
Tumblr media
confirmed: someone who can teach him, lead him, and make up for his flaws. a girl with long hair of any race. laid back. his ideal type is the same as ten’s. someone hard-working has a tough style. 
my thoughts:
he’s highkey a weeb (don’t deny this). no matter how charismatic he is on stage, we all know he’s a big softie who likes bugs and frogs and anime. he expressed he had a really hard time coming out of his shell and he’s quite introverted. he needs someone who’s strong-minded and knows what they’re doing
I remember when the rookies just came out in like 2014 and TY was 19 (?) ish and he confirmed that he’d never dated anyone yet. nobody believed him because he was so handsome but I have a feeling he was telling the truth. it’s been several years since then so I’m not sure how things have changed, but I have a feeling he would like someone experienced.
“any race” what a king. looks-wise besides having long hair, I can envision someone with great style. perhaps dyed hair, multiple piercings, tattoos, the works. fashion is something that tae really appreciates
nakamoto yuta
Tumblr media
confirmed: a girl with short hair and is around 15 cm shorter than him (so about 160cm aka 5′3″). an empathetic, cute girl who doesn’t ‘act pretty’. someone bright and comfortable
my thoughts:
he has a lot of confirmed facts about looks which are also really specific. maybe he just knows what he wants. but I also thinks he has experience. it seems like he wants a tomboy who has a strong vibe
he likes being the ‘oppa’ and taking care of others like we see him do with winwin, mark, and jungwoo. he’d be into someone who looks up to him and who he can lead
I don’t have a reason but I think he would like someone who laughs a lot and laughs at his jokes (maybe because mark does and he loves mark)
someone who’s not embarrassed to be herself
during oshiete japan they had to pick out of 4 types of roses to gift to their ‘girlfriend’. him and haechan were the only ones who chose to give 3 roses to their ‘girlfriend’. the psychologist analyzed this and said that they’re ‘flirts who seek attention’. so that being said, I think yuta would like someone who gives him a lot of attention and reactions
kim doyoung
Tumblr media
confirmed: someone polite and who treats their elders well
my thoughts:
I mean this in all seriousness, someone the exact opposite as haechan. while we can see in rare times that he does care for him, doyoung usually cannot stand haechan and all his tricks and taunting. as his confirmed type outlines, doie is really looking for someone who takes things seriously and listens to him well
I think he often feels underappreciated - a lot of times during his mv viewing reactions, the editors show another member during his part or just cut him out and you can tell he’s really disappointed (it hurts my heart). he would really like someone who goes out of their way to make him feel appreciated. 
when nct 127 went on oshiete japan, doyoung was the only one to pick the potted rose and the psychologist there said that it means he isn’t looking to just date around, but rather to settle down and have a stable relationship. I strongly believe that doyoung is looking for someone long-term.
also, his love language is giving gifts (from my observation since he often gifts the members foods during mv shoots and gifted TY the couple ring). my best guess is that he’d want to spoil his partner a lot with gifts to show his feelings. someone who appreciates his gifts and understands that they come from his heart
he thinks ariana grande is hot so that’s the only visual thing I can think of. she’s obviously very gorgeous but she’s petite and has an amazing voice
jung jaehyun
Tumblr media
confirmed: a kind woman with long, straight hair who can communicate well with him. someone dependable, healthy, and into sports. someone usually calm but can be cute. doesn’t care if she’s older or younger. someone similar to him. someone like singer/actress IU. 
my thoughts: 
he has a lot of confirmed facts so I don’t have to make many assumptions here. someone with girl next door energy? 
he says he likes IU, so going with that, someone petite and cute. She’s not afraid to speak her mind and treats everyone with kindness.
I think J was born to be romantic (literally, born on valentines day). he said his previous ambition was to be a teen dad and his lines from make a wish english version “spoil her with loyalty” sum up my next prediction: he wants someone like a best friend who’s in it for the long run
dong sicheng
Tumblr media
confirmed: someone with long, black hair
my thoughts:
he said his favorite actress is shu qi. although I don’t know if he just likes her acting or if she actually fits his ideal type, she is a traditional chinese beauty which I think winwin appreciates
he’s really introverted and is often overwhelmed by affection (i.e. all of the nct members). the exception is jaehyun and winwin seems to be the most comfortable around him. this makes me think he wants someone calm and chic
sicheng prefers staying inside to going out. not to diagnose him at all, but I reckon he can get socially anxious around large amounts of people. he’d like a partner who doesn’t overwhelm him and understands him
he really can’t cook (he couldn’t turn on a stove to make an egg on winformation). in the end, it wouldn’t matter, but i’m thinking that if you can cook you’d certainly earn some bonus points with him. it’s like that saying ‘the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach’.
kim jungwoo
Tumblr media
confirmed: n/a
my thoughts: 
of all the members, I think jungwoo has expressed the least about his ideal type. not to make any unnecessary assumptions (but that’s all this post is really), but someone said he has strong bi energy. I can’t say anything because I’m not bi myself and I’m not him, but I can see this being a thing. take this with a grain of salt because I don’t actually have evidence
during oshiete japan, he was the only one to pick the large bouquet of roses to give to his ‘lover’. the psychologist analyzed this as him liking to pretend that he is in love and wanting to show his good side. he “can’t express his real feelings and doesn’t want to ever show his lame side to his lover”. because of this, I strongly feel that jungwoo would need someone who lifts his confidence and reassures him
the members he gets along with the most are probably yuta and mark. their personalities are quite different but based on their similarities, I think he is attracted to confidence, open-mindedness, and good work ethic.
