They're totally paying attention! :)

Welp, I'm starting to think I don't know what day Sunday is...

Regardless, here's Chapter 9 - School Visit of Raising Dominoes.

Prologue: 00 Previous chapter: 08 Next chapter: 10

Summary: Rex and Fives visit the local elementary school.

CW: Implied/referenced child abuse, a very minor curse (I wouldn't really consider it a curse, but just to be careful... also, it's said in narration, not dialogue)

Chapter 9 – School Visit

“I want to see Echo.”

“I know, bud,” Rex sighed, trying not to let the exasperation show in his voice.

Fives had been at it since he woke, refusing to move, eat, or say anything that did not express his want for his twin. Now they sat in the elementary school parking lot, two hours late for their appointment with the principal.

“Fives?”

The boy did not stir from his position curled up in his car seat.

“Fives, look at me,” Rex said, exhaustion allowing some of his usual sternness to slip into his tone.

The kid’s shoulders tensed and his eyes reluctantly wandered over to Rex’s.

“We are going to go see Echo as soon as his doctor tells me it’s safe to see him, okay?”

“Want Echo n-now,” Fives whispered.

His words lacked the high-pitched whiney quality Rex had been expecting and he blinked dumbly, taken aback. The last thing Rex wanted to do was keep the brothers apart. He knew the feeling that accompanied the separation from one you admire, trust, need. He knew the feeling well, and he would not wish it on his worst enemy, let alone his child.

Rex slumped back into the seat and began unconsciously picking at the sleeve of his jacket, mind whirring and leg bouncing erratically, “When- when I was your age, me and your Uncle Cody—er, Cody and I—we, uh, didn’t really have a mom or dad to take care of us.”

Rex paused to take a breath, still unsure where exactly he was going with this story. He could feel Fives’s eyes boring into him and he squirmed, unable to meet the boy’s gaze, “We got sent to a lot of different homes where different people would, uh, take care of us, but sometimes… sometimes they would split us up. Sometimes we wouldn’t go together.”

Rex stole a quick glance at Fives. The boy was staring, waiting for him to continue. Rex attempted a smile, but could not help but feel like it more resembled a grimace. He sighed, hands moving to fidget with the zipper of his jacket, “Every time they separated us, I felt so lost and powerless. There was nothing- nothing I could do, and I never knew when I would be able to see Cody again. And- and I hated it. It was the worst feeling.”

Rex turned to meet Fives’s eyes, “So, I get it. I really do. I know you want to see Echo. I want to see him too. If I could do anything I wanted, I’d bring you to him right now.”

“…you would?” Fives asked, voice barely above a whisper.

“I would.”

“I-I don’t want to go without Echo,” Fives mumbled, turning his attention towards the elementary school.

“We have to go take a look at the school because I told them we were coming and they are all super excited to meet you,” Rex said, starting to regret his decision to not include Fives when he and Cody called the school to set up a meeting and tour. “It’s going to be really fun. They’re going to show you around and tell you about all the cool things you’re going to learn.”

Fives made a face, “Echo should be here. Not me.”

Rex felt as if he had just been stabbed in the heart, “No. No, you should be here.”

Fives scoffed and turned his head so his face was obscured from Rex’s view.

“No, Fives, listen to me. You should be here. Echo should be here too, but you should be here. I- you-” Rex sighed, letting his head fall into his hands. He wished Cody were here. He would know what to say.

Cut would know what to say too. He had kids. Little rascals, if Rex remembered correctly. He had to make everything into a game for those kids to do anything. Putting away dishes: who can stack them the neatest? Time to get in the car: who can get there the fastest?

A game.

Of course.

Rex lifted his head out of his hands, “If we go in and take the tour and you remember what they tell you, then when we go see Echo this weekend, you can tell him all about it. Think he would like that?”

Fives turned to face Rex again and hesitated, eyes searching Rex’s for something, before nodding seriously.

Rex smiled, “Sounds like a deal.”

The secretary had them wait on a bench outside the principal’s office until he was ready for them. Given the fact that they had arrived later than expected, Rex had thought the principal would leave them waiting, but almost as soon as they sat, the door opened.

“Good afternoon, young one. I am Mr. Plo Koon,” A tall man that Rex recognized as the principal of the school greeted, smiling down fondly at Fives.

The boy jumped to his feet and stood stiff as a board, almost as if he were standing at attention, “G-good afternoon, Mr. Plo Koon, s-sir.”

The principal’s smile deepened, “My, what lovely manners. You must be Fives?”

Fives nodded, “Yes, sir.”

“Many of the students here call me Mr. Plo, but ‘Mr. Plo Koon’ or ‘sir’ is alright too if that’s what you’re comfortable with.”

“Oh-Okay Mr.- Mr.-” Fives looked up at Rex uncertainly.

Rex nodded and smiled encouragingly.

Fives turned back to the principal, “Okay, Mr. Plo.”

“Very good,” Plo said, beaming down at Fives and clasping his hands together. He then shut the door to his office and began leading them down the hall, “Shall we begin our tour?”

The school was nice. It had clearly been remodeled a few years ago as it had a very modern interior design and was relatively free from wear and tear that would denote that it was the home of tiny grade schoolers for eight hours a day.

They were shown the cafeteria, auditorium, gym, library, and the rooms for the various different extracurricular activities like art and music, all of which Fives marveled at for their large open spaces, walls and walls of books, or amenities.

Mr. Plo was clearly taking pleasure in Fives’s wonder and Rex could not help but enjoy the boy’s delight as well. He was glad that the tour had allowed his mind to wander from Echo, even if just for the good part of an hour.

At the end of the tour, they circled back around and stopped outside of one of the classrooms they had passed on the way to the library. Plo turned to address Rex and Fives, “This one of our second-grade classrooms. If you want, the teacher of this class volunteered to let us sit in on a few minutes so that you could see what it would be like to go here. Would you like that?”

Fives nodded eagerly.

The principal smiled and opened the door. Fives bounded in after him and Rex followed quickly, pulling the door shut behind them.

When Rex looked up he found a class full of 7 year old twisting around in their desks trying to get a good look at him and Fives. The class was eerily quiet and Rex was thankful when the teacher standing at the front broke the silence, “Good afternoon, Principal Plo.”

Mr. Plo nodded, “Good afternoon, 99. Good afternoon, second grade.”

The teacher—99—led the class in a chorus of “Good afternoon, Principal Plo” as Plo ushered them to an empty table in the corner of the class.

Once they were seated, 99 resumed his lesson and Rex scanned the classroom. It was as well put together as the rest of the school. It was bright and colorful, and there was plenty of stimulus for young children.

Rex also got a better look at 99. At first from his voice, stature, and the wrinkles lining his face, Rex had thought the man old like his name, but as he looked closer, he realized the man was not elderly, just had some sort of facial deformity. Perhaps a muscle one as well, as he looked awfully thin and hunched over oddly as he walked.

The children in the class appeared to be engaged and attentive, save for a group of similar-looking boys in the other back corner.

The big bald boy was playing with a toy half hidden under his desk, his face lighting up with joy occasionally from his own, internal musings. His stature was intimidating for a seven-year-old, but such an innocence played out in his eyes that Rex had to believe the kid would not hurt a fly. At least, not on purpose.

The second boy had long wavy hair, pushed back by a red bandana. He was staring out the window, boredom etched across his features. Rex thought he looked a little like Cody when he was fed up someone’s bullshit.

The scrawny one with glasses appeared to be scribbling notes in the margins of a book. He might have been taking notes on 99’s instructions, but Rex doubted it, as no other children had books out to take notes in and the boy was hunched over it like it was the only thing that existed.

The fourth boy was sleeping. Wispy white hair sticking out in all directions as his head rested on his folded arms across the desk. Even through the oversized hoodie Rex could tell by the boy’s pointy elbows that he practically had Fives and Echo beat for the “most emaciated kid of the week” award.

Mr. Plo noticed the direction of Rex’s gaze and gave him a small nudge, “Those are the quadruplets. They transferred here this year. Bit of a special case, those boys. Not so different from yours, perhaps.”

Rex took one last look at the brothers before turning his attention back to 99’s mini lecture. He hoped Fives and Echo would behave differently from those boys at school. He hoped they would at least try to pay attention.

After sitting in on 99’s lesson, Mr. Plo lead them back to his office and had them sit across the desk from him. He laced his fingers together and leaned his elbows on the desk, smiling warmly at Fives, “Did you enjoy the tour?”

The boy nodded, “Mm-hmm!”

“I’m glad,” Plo glanced quickly over at Rex, then turned his attention back to Fives, “Now, your father told me that you’ve never been to school before, is that true?”

Fives looked to Rex before cautiously letting out a small “uh-huh.”

“Okay, that’s alright. Would it be okay if I asked you a few questions?”

“What kind of questions?”

“Well, your dad told me you were really good at math, so I wanted to ask you some math questions. Then we might play a couple games. Is that alright?”

Fives’s brow crinkled and his eyes darted between Mr. Plo and Rex. From the look Rex didn’t doubt Fives knew this was a test, but the boy eventually shrugged and muttered a quiet affirmative.

Fives made it all the way through to multiplication before he started having problems answering the principal’s questions. He clearly did not know his times tables, but from what Rex could remember, that still meant he was on track for second grade.

After the math questions Mr. Plo pulled out a few logic puzzles and had Fives complete them. Fives seemed to do so without difficulty, filling in the picture with the correct puzzle pieces and picking the right color to finish the pattern.

The principal seemed quite pleased with the boy as he put the puzzles away, “You did a very good job, Fives. I just have one more question for you if that’s okay.”

Fives nodded, though Rex could not help but notice that the kid looked tired.

Mr. Plo slid a piece of paper and a pencil across the table, “Could you write your name for me?”

The boy visibly deflated a bit, but he said nothing and reached out, gripping the pencil awkwardly. At first Rex had no clue what Fives was writing; the lines were large and wobbly, curving in places they should not. By the time the boy got to the second vaguely “s” shaped letter, Rex realized what “name” he had been writing and reached out gently to still Fives’s arm.

Large brown eyes looked up at Rex in confusion.

“Fives…” Rex started softly, “That’s your other name. Could you spell ‘Fives’ for us?”

Fives squirmed in his seat, looking down at the paper for a long moment before meeting Rex’s eyes, “This is the only one I’ve seen before.”

“Okay, that’s okay,” Rex whispered, and he honestly was not sure if that was for his son’s benefit or his own. He reached out and flipped the paper over, “Do you know what letter ‘Fives’ starts with?”

The boy opened his mouth to respond, but no sound came out. The room was so quiet Rex could practically hear the tears welling in Fives’s eyes before he saw them. He sprung into action, scooping up the already shaking boy and shushing him softly, hoping to stay the torrent of “I’m sorry”s that were sure to follow.

“It’s okay,” Rex soothed, shooting an apologetic look to Plo before turning his attention back to Fives. “It’s alright if you don’t know. Nobody’s mad. I’m not mad. Mr. Plo’s not mad. It’s okay.”

Fives sniffled against Rex, but Rex could tell the boy was already calming down, his breathing slowing to his usual rhythm.

Rex set Fives back down in his seat, but kept his hand on the boy's shoulder, “Today was a tough day, but you did a really good job, okay? A really good job. I’m proud of you.”

Fives wiped at his eyes, his ears turning a bit red as he mumbled a shy thanks.

Mr. Plo cleared his throat, “Thank you so much for answering my questions, Fives.”

The boy nodded.

Plo continued, “I would like to place you in the class that we sat in on today, if that sounds good to you. The other children will be your age and will be on similar levels in most subjects.”

The principal paused and studied Fives, “Now, Fives, you’re a smart boy and you’re probably going to notice that the other kids in your class are better at reading than you, but can I tell you a secret?”

Fives frowned and looked from Rex to Mr. Plo.

Plo leaned over the desk and lowered his voice conspiratorially, “Your intuition and logic skills are beyond those of many children twice your age.”

Fives shifted in his seat, “R-really?”

The principal nodded, “It’s quite impressive. You'll be reading in no time.”

Fives left the school with higher spirits than when he had entered and that was enough to convince Rex it was the right place to send the twins. As he was setting up for Fives to start the next week and for Echo to start after the holiday break his phone rang.

It was Kix.

"What?" Fives asked after Rex hung up.

Rex smiled, "Go get in the car, we're going to go see your brother."

hi neha! just wanted to pop in and tell you how much i love your fics and love seeing you on the dash <3 i’d love to know if you have any headcanons (for any of the 126) you feel super strongly about, and if any of those headcanons have emerged in your writing in any way? — maddie/reyesstrand <3

hi maddie!! this is so kind, thank you <3 same to you and your writing! i'm working my way through your fics and each one is such a treat, i'm enjoying them all so much <3

this is such a good question! i think most of my headcanons end up making their way into fics, i don't have the self-control to keep them out haha

one of my big ones is that andrea taught carlos to cook, and one of the reasons he loves it so much is because of the connection with his family. i imagine andrea being taught by her mom, and carlos hearing all these stories about her first time making certain dishes from his abuela, growing up. i think the way he gravitates toward food and cooking as a way to care for the people he loves is definitely something he inherited from andrea, something she inherited from her mom, a love language passed down.

going off that, i feel like carlos is often the one to cook and send food, when something happens. like i can see him making a bunch of things for marjan while she was recovering from her gunshot wound, for paul when he was recovering from having the internal defibrillator put in in s3, after mateo lost marvin in s4. i could see him stress cooking a bit after the events of 2x08 and having a bunch of things to take over to judd and grace as they recover. like, i see him wanting to do something, and if he can cook and stock their fridges and make sure they don't have to worry, he will.

i think another one of mine is prob the strong carlos and paul friendship tbh, it's not huge in the show, but it definitely shows up a ton in my fics because i love it so much. i just feel like they'd really get each other and have a lot to talk about. catch me adding carlos and paul moments to every one of my fics lol

i've always headcanoned iris as bi. i haven't written her too much yet, but she plays a pretty big role in both my wips atm and i'm having a lot of fun writing about her navigating her attraction to women.

also hasn't shown up in my fics yet but it will, but i think marjan sets aside one night a week to spend hours facetiming with her family back in miami. and when i say hours, i mean she calls as soon as she's off work and then she's just talking, cooks and talks, gets passed around from family member to family member, that kind of thing. i think she's very close to them and definitely misses them a lot, so these nights are her favorites of the week.

i think tk has a very good eye for furniture and decor, having grown up with the parents that he did. there was a little nod to that in you saw the truth in me, that his house in LA was very black and white and kinda boring, doesn't feel like him at all, and that's because it was done by a designer and he gave them no direction. if he had decorated his own house it would've looked so different, so much brighter and quirkier. i can see everyone texting him when they're moving or they just want to change up the decor in their places for his thoughts, and him having a lot of them. (usually offering to go furniture shopping and point things out, i think that'd be very cute)

#gonna stop there bc i feel like i'm rambling lol #but this was so much fun thank you!!#reyesstrand #911 lone star #answered

fang do you maybe...ahaha...wanna talk more about divorce and geto...

there are like 3 asks in my inbox about this concept im kind of surprised but ofc i can elaborate.

cw ;; you and getou have daughters, a bit angsty, not rlly smutty LMAO sorry guys just wasn't what i had in mind, 18+

i think you and getou probably have a bit of a toxic relationship. not in the sense that it's like super actively harmful or aggressive, but i think getou's kinda nonchalant attitude becomes really, really damaging for your self-esteem after you get married. it was fine when you were younger, because you were less busy and you didn't need as much reassurance on the romantic aspect. relationships are work afterall.

but now you both have kids and while getou does his share, while you're still married - he doesn't seem to really respect you or your effort. he's not incompetent though, he's actually a very good dad to your two little girls and a otherwise a very responsible person. does the dishes and chores, helps with important things.

for a long time, you don't really want to get a divorce because you didn't think it's anything to be upset over. it's only after shoko very helpfully points out that he's simply doing what he has to do and that most men are just kind of terrible. and it dawns on you that she's right. you're grateful getou is a good dad and even better a good roomate, but that doesn't mean you have to stay in your relationship.

because while you're married, he doesn't seem like he's paying much attention. so you think on it for a while, and then ask for an amicably divorce and to coparent to the best of your ability. of course it hurts, but you think it'd be best. that helps you swallow the pain.

when you bring it up, you're kind of expecting him to be completely fine with it. you've been thinking about it forever now. getou doesn't show any signs of romantic affection for you, and that stuff is pretty common. you're better off friends than lovers. you can't really remember the last time you had sex or even kissed in a very intimate way and when you tried before it tended to be brushed off.

but when you do bring up the divorce... he looks sad? and that's confusing for you. he looks almost angry, and is silent for a long time. it's very unusual. because getou is so.. non chalant all the time. he was so bored, he always looks bored.

"is this what you want?"

"...yes? we'd still coparent and have equal custody, you're a good dad. but i mean, there's nothing between us right? it's okay to say you don't love me anymore,"

and he grits his teeth and sort of looks away

"right. right, that's how it is. okay. we should talk more in the morning,"

it's weird. he's weird for the weeks leading up to when it's finalized. you can't wrap your head around his reasoning at all. it's not like you feel no guilt, but you think staying together for your kids when the two of you are so unhappy isn't gonna be worth it regardless. they're not clueless either and you were careful to explain that it wasn't their fault. that you were still good friends with their dad.

and you can raise happy kids while not being together. it's all stuff you thought about plenty before bringing it up, because you don't just have you to worry about. you had considered everything. except for getous strange reaction to your suggestion. his dejected, angry expression. how he all of a sudden kissed your forehead at breakfast and look at you for the next few weeks.

when the divorce was finalized a few months later, you moved close by so that your kids wouldn't have to haul their stuff back and forth. and other than the obvious - you still saw them often and spent time as a family where you could

getou was odd. he was touchier. he seemed to cling to more when he hadn't before. you didn't really push him away, but you didn't embrace him either. it was so offputting, you just didn't think about it until you saw him - and each time he'd so eagerly hold onto you like it was natural and normal.

at first, you thought he was doing it for your daughters. you figured maybe they would feel more at ease. but he didn't do around them, he only did around you.

and one night, he shows up at your place. the both of you needed a break, so the kids were with friends. you were drinking wine and watching some movie and the doorbell rings.

there you find getou, who seems a little tipsy. he reminds you a little of when you were dating in college, bac when he would show up to your dorms and drunkenly take up space in your bed.

it makes you a little nostalgic, so many years later, to see him like that. he has more lines on his face, more handsome. his hair is still long though.

"hey,"

"...hey. what are you doing here?"

he reaches his hand out, cupping your cheek. they're still big, still warm. familiar. he rubs his thumb along your cheek.

"just wanted to see you,"

you scoff a little, but don't push him away.

"you saw me yesterday when you were dropping the girls off,"

he laughs a little.

"i know, i know. but i wanted to see you. just you,"

"you know, you've been acting real weird since this all started,"

he gets a little close to you, and you feel your heart in your throat. the tv light makes shadows on his face. he looks blue.

"have i? how so?"

"you act like you still have feelings for me," you scoff, hands on his chest but still not pushing him "if you just wanna hookup, there are plenty of-"

"that's not why im here, though." he smiles at you "not that that'd be bad either,"

"then why? why do you keep acting like this,"

"i miss you. i want you back. im sorry. what else would it be?"

he leans in to kiss you and you don't refuse him. he does it the way you like, like he knows your body completely. it's warm, and soft, just right. perfect. you cling to the front of his shirt, and he hums.

"you're too late for that," you say. he shakes his head, pressing his lips to your forehead "you couldn't have done this before?"

"i didn't realize. im sorry, swear. i can make it up to you," his throat is hoarse. he makes you wanna believe him "let me in. ill show you. i still want you,"

you frown.

"i thought you weren't here for a hookup," you huff. he laughs.

"what better way is there for me to show you?"

you let him in against your better judgement.

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #67

A dear friend of mine stayed the night last night, partially in an effort to find reprieve from the stressors in their life. They came and existed in our space in the way that felt most natural to them, without feeling pressured to be a particular way or do any particular thing, and it was beautiful.

The next morning, which was today, we played a little DDR (I didn't think to take a video for you; I'm sorry) and generally just… existed in a very chill sort of way. It's as though they are less a "guest" and more as though my house is also their house. I couldn't be more grateful for the fact that this is the dynamic that we have with this friend.

Later in the day, another friend and her son came over to visit. This is the same friend to whom I gave the bowl I repaired. She brought lots of tasty snacks for us to enjoy, and we had a lot of very lively conversation.

You know, admittedly, it's hard for me when people bring food to my space to share; I'm used to being the one who provides, not being the one that others provide for, haha. But that's all right; it is good to sit with this kind of discomfort until I become accustomed to the notion that I'm allowed to receive the same kind of care that I try to give to others. This time, I tried not to apologize and I tried to accept the gesture without trying to "make it even" somehow. And this time, I was successful. Though I must admit, I did have to stifle a small, guilt-induced panic when she began doing the dishes in my sink!!! Hahahaha!

But you know? I sat with it and I dealt with it. Because all of the old conditioning that tells me that "I am a bad person for accepting this kind of care and help" is false. I am not supposed to give and give and give until I am empty. I am supposed to receive, too. I think on all of the people who taught me that receiving love and kindness from others without feeling guilty is selfish of me.

When I think about it, I'm vaguely aware that they resented their responsibility to give to me (in the case of parents, things like time, attention, and basic needs) not because there was anything inherently wrong or bad about me or my wishes and needs, but because they themselves were running on empty all the time, thanks to their life circumstances, the choices that led them to those circumstances, all the generational trauma that they were carrying around and all the unreasonable expectations of themselves that they were trying to fulfill from the conditioning that was ground into them as children, which is the cause of it all.

…I wish I knew then all the things that I know now. So many things were put on my shoulders that weren't mine to carry, and I simply bore it without a second thought, because I had no other basis of comparison to tell me that none of it was normal. And so when they told me that I am bad and that carrying it all is my responsibility (presumably in order to make up for the notion that I am bad), I believed them. I know now that this sort of thing isn't true, but even still, it's sometimes hard for me to disbelieve it.

…But that's what practice is for, right? We can challenge the beliefs that tell us we're no good, and we can put better ones in their place! Here's how I've been taught to do it:

First, you have to identify the emotion that is troubling you. You can use an emotion wheel if you struggle with alexithymia; they're super duper handy like that.

Next, you have to examine the beliefs you carry that are driving the emotions. That's because our emotions don't come from nowhere; often, they show up as a result of our beliefs backing us up into a scary corner. So stop, take a moment, and try to figure out what they are. Often, such beliefs are unreasonable. Things that begin with "something must", "something should", "something never", or "something always" is a good place to look for unreasonable beliefs. In my case today, the guilt I felt was driven by a belief that goes, "I shouldn't be accepting all this effort from my friend; I don't deserve it."

Next, you have to stop and ask yourself how the unreasonable belief kept you safe in the past. And this can be anything. In my case, often in the past, if I accepted effort or kindness from my caregivers, often enough they'd lord it over me later, using it as a tool to guilt me into doing something I don't wanna do, or use the fact that I accepted their favor as proof that I'm selfish if they get angry at me about something later. Otherwise, they'd give something to me only begrudgingly, only to resent me for it later, and resentment led to a lot of verbal punishments in those days. So the best way to keep myself safe at the time was to refuse most anything that was done on my behalf on the basis that "I didn't deserve it." Agreeing with my caregivers that I did not deserve their time or care was important in those days, because to disagree with them about anything was to invite verbal, relational, or physical violence upon myself. As you can see, this part that examines how the belief used to serve you can get complicated and messy pretty quickly, so it might be a good idea to do it with a friend in order to keep yourself stable.

The next thing to do is to examine whether or not the belief is still keeping you safe. If it is, then by all means do continue to run with it, but try to see if you can modify it just a little in order to make it a bit more merciful towards yourself. But if not, you can then decide to change the belief to something that is better reflective of your current circumstances. I am no longer around people who are going to weaponize the kindness that they give to me at a later point (and even if I was around such people, I have boundary skills now, so their efforts would be moot in any case), and so all this belief does is stand between me and allowing myself to receive care from others. It also, very inconveniently, denies the people who care about me an opportunity to feel good about doing something kind for a person who is good to them. And that's no good.

The final step is to change the belief. But you can't go crazy with this; a brain won't be able to accept something that is wildly different from what it's used to. So I can't shift the new belief to something crazy and extravagant like, "I deserve all the kindness all the time from all the people." Instead, you have to try something more moderate, like, "I am just as deserving of kindness as any other human being, and I can accept the effort made by others if it's made in good intentions." And sometimes it can take a long time to fully shift to the new belief; that's okay. It just takes practice, and it just takes choosing it even when it feels scary to do. So, from shifting to the new belief, instead of feeling guilt, instead I felt a little nervousness. But a little nervousness is manageable! Easy peasy! Barely even an inconvenience! 😜

This process is called REBT, and it has helped me to break down a lot of my conditioning so that I can choose better patterns of beliefs and behavior. It's amazing stuff.

So, having done this, I was able to make myself a plate or two out of all the wholesome foods my friend brought. And it looked like this:

I also made us some tea. I loved the way the cream looked in the mason jar this time as I poured it into the tea! Check it out:

You know what, Sephiroth? You can do any of this, too. You can accept kindness from others. You can work on changing your beliefs, even if you were violently conditioned into believing some really awful stuff. You can have good tea and good snacks and lively conversation with other people. Because you can believe that you're good enough as you are. You can believe that you belong. And given that you're way smarter and way more mentally flexible than I could ever hope to be (unless, of course, the developers are lying about you being the strongest ever?), you have the capacity to do this even better than I can.

If a silly derpasaurus like me can recover, then anyone can. And that includes you. So please try. Please. You'd have so many people willing to hold your hand and walk you through the process, no matter how difficult it gets. I'm one of them.

You are loved because I love you in the same way that anyone loves their friends. Please be aware that lots of other people love you, too. So make good choices. Don't disappear. Don't put yourself in a position where there's no choice but to stop you from hurting others. Because make no mistake, if you continue to make bad choices that hurt others, you WILL be stopped. So please… choose healing and recovery instead. Because otherwise…

youtube

This is who they are. This is who they'll be. And if you think you can stop them, then you need to think again. Because they are amazing. If they fall, they'll get back up again. And they won't let you hurt your planet, and they won't let you hurt your friends.

…And, as much as I love you, if I was capable of standing at their side to stop you from doing stupid things just because you'd rather break everything than be brave enough sit down with your pain, I would. I'd do everything in my power to find some way to restrain you instead of destroy you, but still, I would be trying to stop you. Because breaking everything isn't going to give you the peace and safety you think it will. Believe me, I've tried, albeit in much smaller ways; it only makes things worse.

Nothing is ever broken beyond repair, and that includes you. There are people in this world who love you enough to call you out on your nonsense, come what may. I'm one of them. You're not alone. So come on; it's time for you to do something else, because this destructive path ain't gonna do it for ya.

I'll write again soon. Please stay safe.

Your friend, Lumine

sorry if these are boring but 8 29 32 mayhaps..?

NOOOOOOOO NO WAY thinking about bushmed is NEVER boring!!!!! these are actually really fun and make me think about their dynamics a lot so it's super enjoyable for me!!!!! AND I LOVE HEARING FROM YOU AND ANSWERING UR ASKS MY FRIEND!! ^___^ LETSa go ehe!!

8. What happens if one of them gets sick? omg... how did you know i love sickfics (and its absolutely SICK that i havent written a FIC about this!!)... sniper and medic are both pretty medically savvy (and decently physically in touch with themselves) so they immediately know when they're sick. in terms of admitting it.... well.... sniper has no problem admitting he's sick. it can't be helped! he just sulks in his camper and treats himself until he feels better. medic on the other hand.. will acknowledge that he's sick BUT he will not stop and rest!! it's hard for him to slow down! :( either way, neither of them are afraid of a little sickness. it doesn't stop them from trying to cuddle and spend time together (even at the protests of the other one; they don't want to get each other sick!); even at sniper's protests, medic will dote on him and get him whatever he needs! medic will catch sniper toiling around in his van (doing dishes, trimming his plants, etc) and will sometimes have to remind him that he needs to be resting! but for the most part, sniper behaves himself and does so. medic, however, needs to be extracted from his lab and laid down in his room (or sniper's van!) and watched carefully.,. hehe.,., good thing sniper's sharp eyes are up to the task! ;) once he gets into his resting mode, he actually finds that he enjoys relaxing; it's getting him out of his workaholic mode that's the challenge! either way, both listen to one another's medical insight (medic is always eager to try any Cool Natural Remedies sniper has and listen to him explain how they work)!

29. Who is more likely to jump in an elevator? Who freaks out? LOL i love this because the answer is so obvious to me: medic jumps and sniper freaks out. i don't think sniper is particularly jumpy, but i think he's used to being the one who would "rock the boat", jump in an elevator, etc, so he just doesn't see it coming... until medic >:) medic is VERY devious and likes playfully startling sniper (it's very hard to do, after all. there's very little that escapes sniper's sharp eyes gut-feelings!) just to prove he can KSDFKSDF. after which both always have a hearty laugh; sniper shakes his head and waves his hand and medic giggles and bounces from foot to foot and is like "did i scare you!!! HOO!!" and sniper's like "yeah, y'did, better keep you right here where i can keep an eye on you >B//) and pulls medic close to him and holds him there, which of course medic eats up and Clings back! HEHEHEH i also think sniper would always be Wary of the Integrity of whatever vessel they were being transported in, whereas medic would be like hoo hoo! who cares! we'll be fiiiine!! SKDFKSDF

32. Who’s the better story teller? OHHH THIS IS SO CUTE!! i think medic prefers being the storyteller because he loves to talk about himself and all of his misadventures, but i think sniper is more fun to listen to. sniper will lilt his voice and gesture with his hands (and sometimes sneak a little jumpscare in and squeeze medic's waist! >:) heh heh!), really cultivate a Mood. that said, sniper loves listening to medic talk; he thinks it's so cute that medic constantly interrupts himself and laughs at his own jokes and gets sidetracked and then hits you with the punchline in the middle of nowhere!!! sniper can follow it easily and it can't help but make him smile. medic's giddy joy is contagious! but medic absolutely eats up sniper's stories about hunting (men and animals) and will eagerly perch on his lap and make him account everything about it in excruciating detail!! sniper knows how medic likes to hear stories so he always obliges... and uses it as a way to get a little flirty a little handsy with his beloved doctor!! ^v^ HEHEHEH... omg this makes me want to write a little fic about it!! GRAAAHHHH maybe if that's something people would be interested in, i will! HEHE

I'm not from the u.s. ask: 4, 16, 24!

4. favourite dish specific for your country?

Bourgondisch stoofvlees!!! I know Burgundy is perhaps more Belgium/France than the Netherlands, but the south gets a little bit of Burgundy stew, as a treat 😌 it's basically beef stewed in beer until it's soft enough to melt in the mouth, with flavouring ingredients like butter, onion, laurel leaves, cloves, mustard and apple molasses (a common Dutch bread spread - we like our sweets here. Not me tho, I've got too much eastern Europe in me for that. Still, the apple molasses are definitely good in this). Put it on some potatoes (the Belgian way is fries of course, my personal choice is a good fucking mash) and you'll be in heaven. I've found this recipe, but it's in Dutch - hopefully your browser will translate it to English.

As this food isn't like, exclusively Dutch, I will give an honorary mention to boterkoek, which is like a rich, velvety, melt-in-the-mouth type of sort of shortbread. Super simple to make, super rich and tasty. Just beware, I've found some people aren't as fond of the buttery texture. Here's a recipe; my personal tip for authentic flavour is vanilla, and a royal pinch of salt

16. which stereotype about your country you hate the most and which one you somewhat agree with?

The weed stereotype bores me to fucking tears. Yes we have legal weed shops, they're called coffee shops. No, not everyone smokes weed. Literally do not care. Weed tourists (yes a real term) annoy us to no end. On the flip side, the cycling stereotype? 1000% correct. This is, together with Denmark, pretty much the safest cycling country in the world. If we see someone wearing a helmet they're likely a tourist. The country is also fucking flat and tiny so cycling is easy. People here regularly go on cycling holidays. The Tour De France is perhaps one of the biggest sporting events on TV alongside football (tho I don't like it personally). We have parking buildings just for bikes that can store up to 9000 of the fuckers. Yes, these get filled up. Everyone here cycles

24. what other nation is joked about most often in your country?

Like any other country, we joke about our neighbours! In our case, the Belgians get the worst of it (tho the same goes for vice versa)

Thanks for asking!! Feel free to send more of these

DRS: Makoto Naegi

well, here we go

oh, he thought Naegi's luck would work the same way as Komaeda's

PERHAPS YOU LACK THE MEANS OF SELF-OBSERVATION I am saving that one

first roasting him then comparing him to a butterfly, still doubting that luckster wouldn't be a danger to others

they're on completly different pages, Makoto doesn't understand a thing he's saying and he doesn't believe what Makoto told him about his luck, somehow Gundham ended getting something out of this conversation

Komaru was in a closet once

Kaede commenting about Makoto being experienced as a brother made me think how this is typical Kaede problem-solving, she took the initiative to confront Masaru, but asked Makoto for help,

she knows when someone can handle a situation better than her and is open to inviting them to the conversation, but still has to take the lead and stays involved instead of letting Makoto deal with it on his own

so Makoto is a "complete newbie" when it comes to online games, huh. Chiaki offering to teach him was kinda cute

Kyoko interaction so marriedcore, they're gonna investigate together "We can each see things the other might not ;)", Makoto's flipping through reactions and she's just giving him that little smile the whole time

they didn't find anything and she still said it wasn't wasted time, oh they're not giving up on the investigation yet, but still, they spend the whole afternoon together and then the next event also starts with her

it's honestly a little funny how he's making nervous expressions so much while she's mostly smiling, even making that closed-eyes very content face, I don't remember Kyoko smiling this much in thh

them!

apparently they've been talking for a while, curious, oh it's the one where she tells him to be careful, okay it's my favorite this far

pfft

Tsumgi waging psychological warfare on Makoto for fun

out of his Potential of Talent options I have to say, I didn't even expect Sayaka to be there, but I ended up liking this one the most, it was interesting, also what was that with him telling Komaru he hasn't told their parents about his plans, I thought he was a good boy

ugh, Makoto has more events than others, it's the longest compilation, glad I started with it, it would be a pain to go through later when I'll lose my enthusiasm

It takes so long bc I am taking notes, I am fucking studying everything they're saying, taking it seriously, I am on a 7th page of notes and just getting into Hiroko & Kokichi event

When she said "Let's hear Kokichi out" never ever have a single sentence meant so much to me, I love her for that, this is so groundbreaking to me, if I were in his shoes I'd tear up but I am a weaker bitch with the same issues so

both of the fake origin stories he has here have him already in the area of the academy as a baby, that's really interesting, is it implying that he has no past prior to attending if so, is it a message to them not to pry or his feeling, was he raised there, what (screaming)

a little weird choice for Makoto to have so many events and then in several he's just sorta there for exposure, like, that's so very protagonist of him to be present during interesting situations so we can see them, adding nothing to them,

in Kyoko & Shuichi and Hiroko & Kokichi events it's super clear he's just there as a side dish, and in his event with Togami they just *subtly* explain to us who did what for a barbecue despite not being interested Togami entertains him long enough for Naegi to say what he has to

Junko's event was weird, guess I have to do her events next to try to understand, she said she's bored of her old shtick and that she wants an exciting, unpredictable future. When Makoto said she'll be fine, she called him a bad judge of character, but that's wrong, he was just

thinking of the other Junko he knows, it's not his fault or a bad judgement. I am thinking of the moment when she looked happy at the prospect of that hopeful future he believes she has, the deadpan reaction is delayed like it caught up to her that he's talking about

Mukuro, not her. At the beginning of their interaction he makes a comment he already told Mukuro, Junko has a wildly different reaction, then she shares that she has no hope and he reassures her, she smiles and then he brings up knowing her for 3 years, she gets angry

not saying that's exactly what happens, just trying to wrap my head around it, my theory is that she thought he knew he was talking to a different person, so she was disappointed when she realized he was talking as a Mukuro's friend and not as an ult hope giving even her a chance

I was also trying to guess why Komaeda was making that face in Makoto's "My Future" and all I came up with are those two scraps: 1)Makoto acted in a way he didn't expect, he's disappointed because he doesn't understand Makoto's hope?

2) he's jealous of what the other luckster is able to achieve? He said that luck is a lame talent, he never saw it as equal to others, but turns out it isn't as much of a setback for Makoto as it is for him and the other is still able to reach high in a way he wouldn't dare to

I am not one of the Komaeda specialists tho, so I'll leave figuring it out to them, my brain is too small and my heart even smaller and already filled with Kokichi, I am not gonna give myself a headache over this, have fun

First posted on December 9, 2021 (twitter) Detailed notes below (WARNING: since this was the first one I went through, I didn't know what to focus on and it ended up extremely long, none of the characters I'll be posting about next will have a comparable amount of notes, I am so sorry, keep reading at your own risk):

first event: Gundham Tanaka

calling Naegi a sinner

he thought Naegi's luck would work like Nagito's

assuming that luck has to be dangerous, if Naegi doesn't think he's dangerous then it's his obliviousness

Makoto doesn't understand Gundham at all

somehow Gundham ended up answering some existential question he had just by talking at Makoto (we don't learn what)

he let Makoto pet the Devas in gratitude (offered their "blessing")

second event: Kaede Akamatsu & Masaru Daimon

walked in on Kaede scolding Masaru for sleeping at the music venue

turns out she asked Makoto for help, he checked on other kids off-screen, they were in their rooms

WoH remind him of his sister so he's concerned for them and can't ignore them

Masaru taking their worries as trying to control him

did WoH really have a fight? It looks like they guessed right, judging Masaru's face

Komaru locked herself in a closet once

"intervening will only make him rebel more"

"I can tell you really have experience as a brother"

both Kaede quotes, I guess this scenario shows her personality well, she took the initiative, but relied on somebody who she believed was experienced to assist her

third event: Chiaki Nanami

sleepy... zzz (for real)

Chiaki! you're going to spill your soup, oh no, she doesn't hear us, she has air pods

jk, she woke up

pulled an all-nighter, I feel you

she met somebody other than Sonia that's from Novoselic online for the first time? Or was that Sonia all along, hm?

She always prioritizes the game over chatting, but not this time

she invited Makoto to play with her, he called himself a complete newbie, but he's interested

aww, she offered to teach him

he tells her to lower her expectations for his luck with drops

fourth event: Kyoko Kirigiri

so Makoto is investigating the island himself, something with the mysterious photo that probably wasn't taken by Mahiru herself since she "doesn't remember taking it" AND Kyoko offers to investigate together

those two are so marriedcore idc

she looks so pleased to spend time with him, while he's constantly making some nervous expressions

for Kyoko it's fun, not a serious investigation

they both look forward to seeing each other again (it's evening)

fifth event: Kyoko Kirigiri & Shuichi Saihara

they have been there for a while before Makoto joined

Kyoko was telling Shuichi detective stories from her investigations, talking about detectives she worked with, many are dead now, she rarely gets to talk with fellow detectives nowadays

she's looking out for Shuichi, Makoto adding that it applies to her too

sixth event: Maki Harukawa

she's accusing him of being "conspicuous" right off the bat

they got an idea that the picture might be of a ghost?

she said she'll tell his classmates that he's "up to something interesting" if she meets them, nice

seventh event: Tenko & Impostor

"Tenko, you look like you're in agony"

well, that was harsh of the Impostor, guess he was feeling very Byakuya today

it's good to see her trying to change

eighth event: Komaru Naegi & Sayaka Maizono

Komaru being awkward around Sayaka just like in the prologue

ah, she's mad at him for not getting it

they're annoyed at each other now

ninth event: Tsumugi Shirogane

they're going to watch a movie

bonding over being basic bitches

Tsumugi sends a psychic attack, plainly

A rivalry?!

Oh my god, psychological warfare on my Makoto

"teasing", you were torturing him, girl.

Potential Of Talent:

-Maybe I should talk to another lucky person (Komaeda)

"Aren't I lucky, getting sick on a school field trip?" bastard, what the fuck do you mean by that?

still calling himself a scum and thinking his talent is lame

they both think that the other's luck is more impressive

-I am lucky my sister is here! I'll talk with her. (Komaru)

uh oh, they're picking up where they left off

he's never been uncomfortable with ultimates, duh, he's one of them

Makoto is asking a big question, will they be back to ordinary after graduating from Hope's Peak? I think not.

She tells him their parents are stressing about what he's going to do post-graduation

Oh? he hasn't talked to them? One would think Makoto to be mama's boy, but guess not.

Makoto, does death flag mean anything to you?

-Who knows a thing or two about chasing dreams? (Sayaka)

Surprisingly cute, I like what she said, Makoto can work with anyone, doesn't have to limit himself to a group of related talents since they don't really exist

I am proud to be an idol, but...

she compared talents to weapons, people with tangible talents weaponize them, Makoto doesn't

she said that makes him different, but she also expects him to find "his weapon" eventually

she knew he was looking for advice and pulled the classic "I'm a psychic" joke

tenth event: Byakuya Togami

he gives Togami a ticket? To what?

a barbecue, Leon's idea. Togami didn't want a ticket before he knew what it was for

Mondo is involved, to prevent Monokuma interfering, that's why they need tickets too, those are illustrated by Hifumi and his idea (he def got from cons), important events should use tickets, looks like the event is group effort

Togami calls it pointless and Naegi a nuisance

Teruteru will help with cooking (so more of a boys night rather than their class like I first thought)

Teruteru and Kirumi's cooking is good enough for Togami, shocking.

eleventh event: "Junko" Mukuro Ikusaba

she loves swimming, got to move a lot

"guess models have a lot more stamina than you'd think" ha! Makoto... "More or less." girlie, I can't.

"I've never gone on school trips or anything like that before", "It was my choice", at least she gets to be happy now

the camp is a golden opportunity for ultimates who live very busy lives (like her)

stop frowning, Makoto! Now you've done it, she's embarrassed

Mukuro retreated into the sea (but dragged him along)

twelfth event: Hiroko Hagakure & Kokichi Ouma

Hiroko pointing out how wild Hope's Peak is as a concept

Kokichi calls her Hiromom

"Can't guarantee an answer though." I like her

Shut up Makoto, it's a good question. Hiroko is smarter than that and wants to hear Kokichi out

Hiroko being chill about Yasuhiro's talent and having a normal relationship with him, so good, so exceptional in DR universe full of fucked up people, bonus points that she knows how people can treat their talented kids (profiting or shunning) and goes back to acknowledge the issues can occur in any family, the status of an Ultimate doesn't change anything, parent's role stays the same (therefore it shouldn't matter whether a child is talented or not, parent's love should be unconditional)

but yeah, Ultimate households have a /slightly/ higher chance of those problems happening

"I was born from the big tree behind Hope's Peak Academy", "I often dream about what it'd be like to have parents. I want the clearest image possible!" (he makes a serious face here, slightly upset even) "Didn't you say you were abandoned as an infant in a coin locker at the station nearby the academy?"

Is Kokichi pointing at something more than not having parents in his life? Is it a message not to pry into his past? Is it a genuine feeling that his life started at the academy? Is it not a metaphor and he was raised at Hope's Peak?

she calls him a naughty kid for that outrageous lie and he changes from that serious face to his biggest smug smile

Summer Festival: (Live Street Performance)

-Fuyuhiko is performing with us. What's he up to?

so Fuyu tried playing instruments... and found out that it isn't easy to learn playing

they brainstorm what to do (non-described)

-Nekomaru is performing with us. What's he up to?

screaming wildly, apparently, maybe he's yodeling?

they also brainstorm, while doing vocal exercises

-If anyone has an answer, it'll be Ibuki!

"have you heard of body percussion, Makoto?"

"Ibuki gave me some valuable advice!" Idk about that.

Send-off bonfire

-I did manage to get along with Ultimates... (Hajime)

Hajime "Wait, aren't you an Ultimate too?"

yeah, yeah, basic bitches bonding 2, maybe no psychological warfare this time boys

-I've gotten a little stronger at least... (Mukuro)

time to get roasted by Mukuro ig

ok, at least he knows, "I am as scrawny as ever", he meant emotional growth, "your heart and will or some junk"

"you've been plenty capable from the very get-go!"

I'm glad they got to talk about memories and that she's being so positive

-I'm still not quite sure what luck is exactly... (Nagisa)

not Nagisa telling Makoto he's complicates

"Harsh evaluation", guess Naegi got roasted again

My Future...

two paragraphs? of "people working behind the scenes"?

a group of academy personnel entered this world to perform tests

what the photos have to do with tests?

Shuichi didn't understand Chihiro's "technobabble" aww (I wouldn't either)

Mahiru's embarrassed, she started all that drama, and it's leftover data from resets

enlightening experience: many people are involved that we don't see (allowing them the camp experience with all this unseen work)

Nagito's looking so disappointed, is it because Makoto acted in an unexpected way? Is he jealous of what Makoto is achieving with the same talent as him?

Thirteenth event: Junko Enoshima (real)

she can also swim a lot, but it bores her with how effortless it is

Makoto makes the same comment about stamina, but unlike Mukuro she flips out at him (So did he notice she's different? It's almost like he did for a moment, but then no) [I didn't know Junko and Mukuro aren't both at the camp and that there are 2 parallel timelines to include them until I was doing Junko's events]

bored of her old shtick? wants a future?

how cute that he tries to support her, thinking it's the same Junko

"you're a bad judge of character", no, he's just thinking of your sister. Is she upset because she thought he knew and he failed that expectation, talking as Mukuro's friend instead of ult. hope talking to her?

Somewhere in the main plot, out of events, Makoto gains the confidence displayed in "My Future", the investigation helped him figure out what he wants to do - work at Hope's Peak, this is exactly what he needed to gain his hope fragment

Hashira + tanji, nezuko, zenitsu, inosuke and kanao running a restaurant. Who does what and what shenanigans and/or hijinks ensue?

Considering I have experience in all departments of mom&pop shops, farm to table, fine dining, fast food, and corporate restaurants (don't ask how I bounced around from job to job for a w h i l e) I'm sure I can come up with something creative lol hope you guys enjoy!

......

Hosts/Hostesses: Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Kanao

I mean come on, they're likable characters for a reason

They've got the whole floor plan figured out for the entire week, and can also adapt in case anything happens (i.e: Someone calls out)

Tanjiro is definitely the ring leader of the trio, always making sure everyone gets to where they need to be and ensuring every server gets a turn to be sat

Nezuko is more comfortable taking people to their tables and ensuring everything is clean. Half the time they don't have a busser but when they do, usually not everything is how it's supposed to be so she can quickly take up for the slack

I'd imagine Kanao is more comfortable answering the phone, probably has to have Shinobu's or Tanjiro's permission to use it even though it's literally her job

They'll oftentimes leave little notes of encouragement in the server books such as "hope your shift goes great!" or "if you get overwhelmed don't hesitate to tell us!"

They're all super accommodating and respectful towards patrons, after all they are the first faces that they see

Overall they're all sweethearts and everyone loves them. Dare to hurt them and the back of house staff will be running you out with pots and pans-

...

To-Go: Muichiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke

Oh yeah, it's happening, and these three are a force to be reckoned with when they're working together

Zenitsu is running payments and orders through doordash/ubereats/grubhub

Muichiro is running food and asking if anything else is needed, yes, he's forced to have a pen and pad because he forgets things easily (just his way of keeping track of things)

Inosuke is in the back packing orders and making sure everything is right before it goes to the To-Go room

Of course they rotate the system they have so that way no one gets bored with anything

If alcohol is included in an order, they'll have Tengen or one of his wives check the ID, make the drink, and deliver it to the car

They're minors and legally can't make or run alcohol so it's kind of a given that they'd ask for help

Shenanigans include playing the song "Neon Blade" on loop when it gets super hectic, mostly for the energy but also to set the tone of pure panic on a busy Saturday night

They also make a lot of Shirley Temples for themselves, lord knows how many Inosuke has had and god knows how many he allowed Muichiro and Zenitsu to have... not that he would care anyways lol

And don't get me started on the espresso drinks they bring in on their way to work, it's insane

Overall, though chaotic at best, they're all a dream team and management couldn't be happier to have them on their staff team

...

Bartenders: Tengen, Suma, Makio, and Hinatsuru

I'm adding the wives because I can lmaooo

But yeah no this flashy quartet have the bar down to a goddamn science

Tengen is the bar manager, making sure everything runs smoothly while serving patrons

Hinatsuru is head bartender, working right under Tengen so really she's the true manager of the whole thing lol but she keeps things running well with Tengen

Makio is the assistant bartender, apprenticing under Hinatsuru. Everyone loves her and she keeps the bar lively with jokes and a fun presence

Suma is the barback, making sure all of the bar glasses and dishes are clean and cleaning surfaces when necessary. She's the real money maker of the bar everyone thinks she's so adorable

They don't let their relationships with one another interfere with work, if anything they keep it a huge secret and tell everyone they're "roommates" just to keep everything professional

Their cocktails and drinks are all top tier and they have drinks named after every staff member that works there

They're flair bartenders, naturally so because Tengen thinks that bartending should be a show and not something to just watch aimlessly

And for the love of Christ do NOT fuck with their station or anything in it, the wives will have a cow

They adore the servers, hosts, and to-go staff, they're always the first to step up when something goes wrong (more specifically Makio)

When they're all closing the bar they just make it as fun as possible despite any complaining or fatigue they may be experiencing

Overall they are the real power couples and there's nothing that can separate them

...

Back of House: Gyomei, Sanemi, Obanai, and Genya

Also including Genya in this because there's absolutely no way that they can handle that shit with just three of them back there

They all switch stations daily so there's really no telling what could go on as far as a day to day workday goes

However the one thing that does remain consistent is the constant bickering between Genya and Sanemi, which is fitting because they're brothers

"Genya- my bitch in CHRIST the sauce isn't supposed to be this salty-"

"What does it matter to you? Besides... you're just a prep cook."

Cue the fist fight that Shinobu and Rengoku have to break up-

Aside from that, Obanai is a dishwasher, occassionally will work the fry station but that's only if he's up for it

Gyomei kind of does a bit of everything, you can say he's a jack of all trades in the kitchen

Sanemi is not only a prep cook but also the salad guy, he has very little patience so it's just easier for him

Genya works saute, it's just something that came easy for him and he doesn't have to be near his brother

However one thing is for certain, come for any of the front of house staff and they will definitely cook you into something-

They also make food for the front of house workers in case they're hungry... no management doesn't have to know

But despite their problems, they're the real assets to the restaurant and honestly work too hard for their own good

...

Servers/Key Holders: Rengoku, Shinobu, Mitsuri

They're fast, friendly, even doting on their patrons that they serve

But fuck around with Mitsuri one good time

She will put you through a window no hesitation

Regardless though, they're all super helpful when they're working as Key holders, which are basically shift leads

They kinda float around everywhere all at once, making sure everyone does what they need to do

If the hosts need help bet your ass Shinobu is with them all night

Rengoku will help in the kitchen if need be, button down on or not

Mitsuri kinda floats in limbo between working as a server and being a key holder. Basically fixes any fuck ups that happen in the system

They're always leaving little notes of encouragement for the younger staff members, always praising how hard they work

Though they are very parental with the way they manage, always asking "why" instead of demanding things be done

Rengoku will 1000% pick up the slack where it's needed, half the time he's not even serving or managing, the man is bussing tables

Which kinda leaves Shinobu and Mitsuri to float around and see if anyone needs anything

The amount of coffee and energy drinks they have on a daily basis makes all of the other staff members wonder how they're still alive

But overall they work hard and there's nothing that will ever change their management style

......

I need a fan service episode of the demon slayer characters running a restaurant right fucking now-

OC asks #2, 7, 22, 28?

2. which oc has never had their first kiss?

Emiri. Adi's sister Tia and brothers Kisin and Zak(they're still kids though, dunno if they count). And I feel like Josetta's All-work-no-play mindset means she hasn't had a serious enough relationship for a kiss yet.

7. which oc has the most cohesive color palette? the craziest color palette?

I tend to prioritize cohesive color palettes for my characters, definitely within an outfit, and if they become one of my Main OCs they tend to get signature colors I try to stick to for all their outfits(ex. Vikkari's blue-green-purple, Jaaide's deep green, Trinne's red/pink-purple(-green), Tavi's teal and yellow, Adi's pale pink/cornflower blue). So pretty much all of them have a cohesive color palette, I guess the closest some get to "crazy" is maybe one of my alien OCs from SWtOR, where I'm trying to match an outfit to green/blue/orange skin?

22. which oc likes to read to their partner? which oc prefers being read to?

Adi definitely likes to read to Heodan, and also likes it when he reads to her. Emiri doesn't have a romantic partner yet, but she loves reading out loud, usually to Aloth since he's her bff(and the one who taught her to read). Tavi likes to listen to Aloth reading.

Vica and Endrali will both read aloud when Theron or Arcann is in the room but aren't necessarily reading to them.

Jas absolutely loved listening to Tristian reading, now loves listening to him tell stories.

28. which oc would start a podcast? what would it be about?

Adi would start two, one for baking and one for history. Occasionally overshares about her personal life.

Eisza would start one that's stories from bounty hunting. Half of them sound too wild to be true.

Vikkari would start a cooking one, dishes from all the places he's visited. There's usually a story behind how he learned each one.

Kei would have one about weapons and their care, probably goes on semi-regular tangents about "swords don't work that way" or "that's a FARRIER not a BLACKSMITH" etc

Trinne would start one about the different schools of magic and their use/history but either she gets bored and gives it up or she gets shut down for her not-entirely-negative views of entropy and blood magic.

Tragen’s STARTS on some other topic(not sure what), but turns into just being ASMR bc people really just like listening to his voice

Cam(Ryder) would have one that’s super mixed bag. One day it’s weapon stats/breakdown, one day it’s movie critique, one day it’s “SO PEEBEE AND I WERE RUNNING AROUND A VOLCANO YESTERDAY AND-” with frequent guest appearances from PeeBee, Suvi, and Liam

OC Asks

Dorms and Archons

Twisted Wonderland x Genshin Impact

Part 2 of 2

Part 1

Dendro Archon

The Recluse Scholar

𝓚𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓶 𝓐𝓵-𝓐𝓼𝓲𝓶

Kalim was excited to have a new friend! Oh the parties they'd have! The fun! The food!

When he met you, you were... distant. Did he do something wrong? Did he upset you?

He really did try to find out what he did wrong, and often sent you invitations (Malleus eyeing the invitations) you some of the parties he makes, but you don't show up nor reply, making him sadden.

Jamil low key face palming

During a normal sunny day at school, he and Jamil headed to the library to grab some books, and during the process, he found you, tucked in a corner with mountains, upon mountains of books around you, and you? You were reading.

"Ah? S/o??"

"HEEEEK!!!!"

he startled you so badly that plants from outside grew. which of course caused a commotion.

Kalim apologised for startling you, but he asked a question about your attendance, your reply was to fiddle with your sleeves before answering with a small voice that you were afraid of people despite being a deity.

Kalim immedietly thought of Idia, but he crossed the line of no return, but Kalim smiled warmly, held your hand, making you choke, and said a more softer voice that he'd throw a smaller party, just the three of them. (Don't tell me you forgot Jamil, HE MAKES THE DANG FOOD)

You accepted.

Several parties later, you two were unsurprisingly in love with each other that the students of NRC were rolling their eyes at the moments the two shared. COULD YOU TWO DATE ALREADY!?!?

When you two started dating, Kalim made a celebration, but kept you in a more secluded section, that way you could be apart of it, but not near a large crowd of people. And you were thankful for it.

As a couple, Kalim practically adores you. And he's super affectionate too! Jalim is glad to have someone more tameable and it also makes it easier to locate Kalim if he ever goes off by himself.

𝓙𝓪𝓶𝓲𝓵 𝓥𝓲𝓹𝓮𝓻

He thought nothing of you at first.

Until you had full scores on everything.

He had requested you to help with Scarabia's studying, in offer of full meals, which you complied with due to living in a run down dorm and doesn't have a lot of money to support themselves with.

However, the study group went wrong due to the amount of people.

Jamil then figured that you didn't work too well with large numbers of people, and he found that you were slightly dependent on him when it comes to speaking.

He ended up planning smaller groups, working on those who had the worst grades then up.

And thanks to you, their dorm gradually got better.

Jamil spent time with you whenever he was free from following Kalim, and he was fairly fond of you.

You were soft, very soft, but highly reliable in terms of knowledge. So he'd often vent to you which is surprising.

But your presence and advice helped him grow better.

Jamil fell for you when he found you smiling at a Scarabia student showing you their improved grade, you looked like a warm hearted maternal parent, and his heart skipped at the sight.

When you two began dating, it was a bit rocky due to Jamil's family duty to serve the Al-Asim family. But Kalim was very kind to allow Jamil more free time, in exchange that he brings you over for more study parties!

You figured since Kalim wasn't fond of studying and more for partying, that you'd make a study party which improved Kalim's grade by ten folds. Jalim practically wept tears that the seven sent him this angel.

Geo Archon

The Consultant

𝓐𝔃𝓾𝓵 𝓐𝓼𝓱𝓮𝓷𝓰𝓻𝓸𝓽𝓽𝓸

Azul was greedy for the power you possibly possess. and your money.

Azul underestimated you since he witnessed your lack of brains in terms of money. You forget about having your wallet on you, and whenever someone offers to pay for you, you attempt to buy everything without a single thought.

This was going to be an easy contract, Azul thought. They're an idiot, Azul thought. They can't complete this contract, Azul thought.

"I've completed my end of the contract. Now you must do yours."

"Huh? Nani?"

Azul was stupefied by this, he whipped his head towards the Leech twins, both begrudgingly nodding their heads in confirmation at the archon completing their conditions of the contract.

Azul had tried to change the details of the contract, you of course allowed it the first time.

But when you returned with the conditions once again completed, Azul tried to add more.

However, you weren't having it.

You stood up and leaned down to Azul, towering over him. A sudden pressure weighed the three mercreatures, it was heavy and foreboding. Your eyes glowed a gold with the amber ombre in your hair glowing gold as well.

"I was lenient to allow you the first time. Either fulfill your end of the deal or break the contract. But if you break the contract, you will suffer the wrath of the rock."

Azul was terrified.

When Azul fell for you, he questioned himself. How in the seven did he fall for a person like YOU!? He will never remember how, but all he knows is that he's in waaay to deep.

When you two became a couple, you were far more charasmatic and charming than before, it was like it was turned up a notch. Or two. or more...

The contract loving couple have been making more money than ever thanks to the Geo Archon, the avatar of contracts. It's either fill the conditions or suffer the wrath of the rock. Or just, don't make a contract. Simple.

But then we got the one brain cell trio doing their dumb sh**.

𝓙𝓪𝓭𝓮 𝓛𝓮𝓮𝓬𝓱

Oya?

What an intriguing being.

Jade was the first to be interested in you. But he couldn't exactly find you that well since you practically mixed with the crowd a little too well than he'd like. [Bro, Zhongli and Venti has statues of themselves around Liyue and Mondstaft, AND NO ONE MANAGES TO THINK "hmmm.. You know, he looks like one that statue there.. Wait a minute-" LIKE, SRSLY!!! Venti is more obvious, I can understand Zhongli since he wears more funeral consultant clothing, but he still somehow blends in with the crowd. Unlike a Lil wind spirit.]

But when the moment came where you made a contract, Jade was more than happy to hinder you, only for you to complete the conditions before he could figure out your plan.

"... What?"

["OSMANTHUS WI-"]

After that fiasco with you giving a very large heavy warning, Jade was by your side whenever he wasn't with Floyd, questioning your knowledge, in which you were more than happy enough to comply.

Jade fell for you when you showed how competent you were unlike the other miserable guppies in school. Sure you had a few problems, but nothing with a little Jade there and everything is perfect. He also favored your knowledge, specially about fungi.

When you two became a couple, it was.. Strange to say, a air headed but scary consultant with a sadistically calm eelman? That's ringing bells for everyone.

𝓕𝓵𝓸𝔂𝓭𝓮 𝓛𝓮𝓮𝓬𝓱

Floyd had zero, zip, non, 100% no interest in you. Why? You looks, sound and seem boring. And he stand corrected.

it was later when you completed the conditions, which, not gonna lie, spooked Floyd.

"Hah?"

Later, he began to go after you like he did with Goldfish (Riddle), and when he tried to squeeze you, he found himself squeezing a shield instead.

He found himself utterly thrilled and had did several attempts at you, which failed.

His interest in you and your abilities heightened.

Then your relationship bloomed.

It was hard to say if it was romantic or platonic, but either way, Floyd was perfectly happy. Happy to have a partner who continues to show things or tell him things about their world.

As long as Floyd kept out of trouble and/or content, Jade and Azul didn't say question their relationship.

Pyro Archon

The Warlord

𝓛𝓮𝓸𝓷𝓪 𝓚𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼𝓬𝓱𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓻

Who are you? What are you? Why are you here? What are you doing? Get out.

Leona didn't care for you, not one single bit. Until you messed with his sleep schedule due to your chaoticness.

Whenever your around, you just bring trouble with you. And he doesn't like it one bit.

And when you bring trouble, you bring noise.

Which officially ruins his nap times.

However, Leona praises and respects your prowess in battle. You always gave it your all, which he liked. You weren't holding back, which allowed him to gauge how powerful you were as a deity with or without your element.

As it turns out, you're stronger than what you make yourself out to be, but what catches Leona's attention the most, was how calculating you were. It was as if you were analyzing him

To be honest, he felt violated.

At most times, you're energetic, but when your quiet or serious, it's either pack your sh** and leave or get out of their way.

Because when your either if those, you will either send someone to the nurse with severe casualties or some of the schools property will be destroyed. And of course, there is a justified reason for this.

Other than to make Crowley very upset of course.

Leona fell for you with your strength. He loves a woman who can lead and he could just relax. Unless it comes to some other type of leadership, like in the bedroom, then that will change. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

These two are dangerous as a couple when Leona's awake and active. And when Leona's on the move, expect a gremlin to be tailing after him, and be sure to clear out of their way. Mercy didn't in their vocabulary.

𝓡𝓾𝓰𝓰𝓲𝓮 𝓑𝓾𝓬𝓬𝓱𝓲

Huh? Do I know you? No? Goodbye.

Ruggie, quite literally, didn't give a rats ass about you.

To him, you were like any other beast man, rowdy and rough, other than your form that is.

But thankfully, you knew how to take care of yourself. Less work for Ruggie. I guess.

Not only that you knew how to cook. That was a god sent gift to Ruggie. Sadly though, you only know how to make mostly meat dishes. If it contains vegetables, expect the veggies to be over seasoned.

Leona was scared when he saw you in the kitchen, only to calm down seeing you being calm and not rowdy.

Ruggie fell for your cooking. He is literally the term "To get to a mans heart, you go through their stomach". although you should work on cooking vegetables better for a more healthier lifestyle.

𝓙𝓪𝓬𝓴 𝓗𝓸𝔀𝓵

Strong? Strong.

You two are 100% besties.

You two are glued to the hip whenever you guys are free or share classes.

You both like to exercise and spar, so you two mostly go for each other.

To say the least, Jack mostly saw you as a sibling. Sorry, no romance.

Jack often scolds you for not eating more vegetables.

Which makes you pout and huff.

Cute lil tyke - Leona

Hydro Archon

The Judge

𝓡𝓲𝓭𝓭𝓵𝓮 𝓡𝓸𝓼𝓮𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓽𝓼

Nice, another rule setter like me. We're gonna be great friends.

"Explain why two cubes of sugar should be in a lemon tea? It's blasphemy."

I see you have chosen violence 😌

Riddle at first liked you, until you learned about the rules of the Queen of Hearts, did he start to hate you.

"BE QUIET OR IT'S OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!"

He loathed you.

He thought that since your a judge, you'd understand the rules, much like him. But no, you judged the rules as well, evaluating if they are fair or not.

Whenever you call out on the rules that appeared ridiculously stupid to have (like the two sugar cubes in lemon tea. That's bs to you.)

After the overblot, you were more nicer when he changed.

He stand corrected.

But he didn't mind it, he low key enjoyed arguing with you, without him screaming at you of course.

You two as a couple sends fear in everyone. A judge and a tyrant? That's a deadly combo.

𝓣𝓻𝓮𝔂 𝓒𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓻

Trey had taken a liking to you, seeing how similar you are to Riddle.

He enjoyed answering your questions about rules, but if there were rules he can't remember, he'd look at them with you to not only answer your question, but to commit them to memory in case.

What he's scared of is when you give trials regarding about incidents. Riddle would present his case then the 'innocent' or innocent would present theirs.

If the person is guilty, you ensure punishment, because like Riddle, you detest rule breakers unless in reason. You didn't mind them bending the rules as long as it doesn't break.

Trey is envious of your abilities, but you reassure him the his Doodle Suit is superior if you can use it against others magic.

You often praised him as well.

You admitted to thinking about a scenario of if Trey was born in Tevyat, he'd receive a hydro vision.

He flushed in response, secretly happy to have caught your attention.

You two as a couple puts everyone, minus Riddle because it's you, at ease.

𝓒𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓶𝓸𝓷𝓭

#ohmyseveniminlove #calltheambulance #loveatfirstsight #goddescendingfromheaven #pinchme #PLSNOTICEMEANDLOVEME #foryoupage

He practically fell for you.

To him, you were perfect.

"You have flaws? I only see perfection!"

He's a smooth talker, albeit feminine due to having a lot of sisters, but smooth nonetheless.

He's a simp for you, willing to use his unique magic to do anything and everything for you.

Literally fell at first sight of you.

As a couple, Cater often takes couple photos with you, at first you were content with the pictures, but at this point they kinda peeved her when he takes pictures on every occasion.

"Smiiiile~"

"Cater, I love you, but please, stop."

"If you give me a kiss I might~"

𝓓𝓮𝓾𝓬𝓮 𝓢𝓹𝓪𝓭𝓮

You're his role model.

Literally the Geno to your Saitama.

He carries a notebook with him to take notes on you since he strives to be like you. A model being.

Even if he looks smart, he still has a split braincell between Ace and Grim.

Don't hold it against him if he's trying to know almost EVERYTHING about you.

More platonic than romantic.

𝓐𝓬𝓮 𝓣𝓻𝓪𝓹𝓹𝓸𝓵𝓪

Complete opposites.

And completely disliked each other.

You rubbed him the wrong way, maybe it was because you were more justified than him, better at things than he was.

He didn't know what, it was just you being better than him. He understands he's not smart, because he foes dumb sh** with the other two.

But whenever you have to deal with their messes on their own, he feels irritated.

He often tries to get after you as well.

"Oh wow, such a god you are. Pathetic."

*cue angry archon noises with an 8 feet tall wave behind them, ready to flood Ace's ass.*

Yeah, your relationship is very... Rocky and slightly concerning.

Here's part 2! I'm happy that you read this! I will have a link to the first part after connecting the links to certain parts. Feel free to request or refer to the main master list pinned on my blog if you wish to see other choices to make! Happy reading!

Bakusquad crushes headcanons because I'm in the car and I'm bored :)

These are ship headcanons (kamijirou, shinkami (kinda??), momojirou, kiribaku and kamisero) not how they act with their crushes, just to be clear

(Jirou is part of the bakusquad and you can fight me in that)

Ok so I like to think that Denki actually dated Jirou

Like, they're just super cute come on

So yeah, they started dating near the half of their first year and Jirou was super flustered at first

But she'll get used to it pretty quickly because they pretty much did all that they already did as friends? Okay Kami would sometimes get Jirou to a romantic place and have a date but they prefered to make out in Kamis room, or play the guitar in Jirous and sing something

So because of this it started to not feel so special? Or was it just Jirou loosing interest? She didn't know but it didn't feel the same as when they started dating

So it was an afternoon near the end of the summer when she decided to tell him

They ended up both crying hard but they were in good terms, they were still friends

Kami told her that he still felt something for her but it was true that it was a lot less intense than when he asked her out

Jirou was a bit awkward at first to show affection towards Denki again because she didn't want to hurt him or anything

But one day playing videogames with the rest of the squad Denki leaned on her shoulder and told her "you can touch me you know, I said I'll be ok" and with that Jirou recovered her best friend

After that, Kami developed a crush on Shinsou

So after gaining the courage and a lot of help from the squad, Denki asked him out

(I don't really ship them so here have some angst)

Shinsou declined the best way he could

"You see Denki... is not that I don't like you but I'm... ace and not very interested in relationships right now..."

In that moment something broke inside Denki

"I'm so sorry"

"Oh, no, it's totally fine man, you don't need to apologize for what you feel"

"We can... still be friends if you want"

"Yeah, I'd love that"

When Denki got to the dorms and went straight to his room, his friends knew something had gone wrong

"Am I that unlovable that all my crushes end up bad?"

All the squad denied that and Jirou cried a lot because he felt that it was part of her fault all of this

They spent the night cheering him (and Jirou) up

There were tears, videogames, snacks and cucumbers

Kiri had liked Bakugo since the first time he saw him at the entrance exam (I don't know if they were in the same area but see how much I care)

He was just so manly and strong, so he decided to be his friend

It wasn't that hard to pass through all the walls Bakugo had put up, unlike Midoriya had told him

And once he saw the soft side of Bakugo it was very easy to fall in love with him

For Bakugo it wasn't exactly like that

He didn't go to UA to make friends even less fall in love

But his plans were ruined by a red sunshine

He didn't understand why, but the redhead got to him pretty quickly and he found himslef not minding it

He found himself enjoying being with him

At first he convince himself that it was because he was entreteining to train with him but that was a lie and everybody knew it

And suddenly he found himself dreaming of Kirishima and wanting to take care of him and hold hands and- omfg he was screwed

He tried to ignore it and convince himself that he didn't had a crush on his best friend but he finally gave up thinking that someone without a crush wouldn't spend that much time convincing themselfs otherwise

So yeah, he was in love with Eijirou

So he started to leave little hints to him

He would cook him his favourite dishes, spend the entire night with him until he undesrtood the homework, make sure he didn't freeze to death because jfc this man was fucking crazy

And each time he would make them more and more romantic to see if he'd catch the hint

Obviously Kirishima always ended up convincing himself that it was all in a friend way because this boy is dense as a rock (pun intended)

Katsuki was going crazy, so in their second year, the very first day they got to the dorms after winter break he shouted to Eijirou he loved him

The conversation was something like this

"Hey man! I missed you so much!!"

"It was only two weeks Shitty Hair"

"Two weeks are too much time away from my best friend"

"That's it, that's fUCKING IT, EIJIROU I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU, I'VE BEEN SINCE LAST YEAR AND IT'S LITERALLY KILLING ME"

"..."

"...Well, say somethin-"

He was cut by Kirishima kissing him

"I'm in love with you too"

They came back to reality when everyone in class 2-A started clapping, saying "awwww" and whistling in the case of the bakusquad because, man, they waited way too long for these idiots to confess

From that moment Kiri and Bakugo were even more inseparable than before, if that was possible

Their rooms were now only one

They had clothes from the two of them in each wardrobe and always slept together

And you would think that Bakugo liked privacy and all but this man claimed Eijirou as his boyfriend every fucking opportunity he had and Kirishima loved it

Jirou had a crush on Momo

Like, a huge crush

Just look at her, she's perfect!

So when Momo asked her out she couldn't be happier because it wasn't something big or extravagant, it was just them sitting under a cherry tree while Jirou played the guitar (Momo knew Jirou didn't like big things)

Even if that was all she wanted she asked Momo if she could answer her the next day

Jirou spent the whole evening going from one side of her room to the other, thinking if it was ok for her to date Momo because Kami was still hurting and she still felt like she had something to do with that, because after all she was the one who broke up with him

She was snapped out of her thoughts when Denki tapped her in the shoulder

She didn't even heard him get in

"Jirou? Are you ok? You seem stressed..."

And so, Jirou started crying

"Momo asked me to be her girlfriend"

"But that's something good no? You already told us you liked her"

"I like her so much Denki, I really do, but I feel like it's not fair because I'm going to get an amazing girlfriend while you're still hurting because of me and Shinsou"

Denki spent the night with Jirou in her room comforting her, telling her that it wasn't her fault Denki was sad and that he was much better now

He swore he didn't resented her, she was one of his best friends and he only wanted to see her happy

So the next morning Jirou got up early and the moment Momo stepped in the kitchen Jirou told her she accepted

Momo was a bit sleepy so she took a moment to answer

But when she processed she swepped Jirou off her feet and kissed her a million times

Momo would take her to expensive restaurants and get her the best tickets to all her favourite artists

Jirou started recording her songs and a lot of them were towards Momo, she would get them in a cassette (she knew Momo liked old things) and leave it in her girlfriends door

Sero was fucked up

He loved Denki, he always had, but since that night when he saw Denki in so much pain because of Shinsou, that night he wanted to go find the purplehead and punch him in the face, he knew he no longer loved him as a friend

He never told anyone about his crush because he supposed it would go away shortly

Spoiler: it didn't

So there he was, in his third year at UA in love with his best bro

It was physically hurting him so one day, when he drived Denki to an important mission in his intership he kissed him

"For good luck"

Denki short circuited right there

Luckly Kaminari had gotten better at managing his short circuites so, although Sero had to carry him inside the agency, he came back when someone snapped their fingers at him

Sero was trying to play it cool at the dorms but he had to tell the squad what he had done because his friends weren't stupid

They were very surprised because almost the whole school thought they were already dating

Now was Seros turn to be surprised

The squad said they weren't quite sure because they thought that Sero and Kami would've told them but it did look like it

By the time Kaminari got to the dorms it was past midnight

That, obviously, didn't stop him from entering the common room shouting at a sleeping Sero that had stayed in the couch, waiting for his friend

"YOU FUCKING BASTARD"

"AAH- wha- oh Kami!"

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING"

"Kami I can explai-"

Kami kissed him so hard Sero swore that he could have melted if Denki hadn't separated to shout-whisper at him a little more

"What were you thinking, kissing me and leaving without giving me the chance to kiss you back idiot?!"

Sero smiled

"That means you acept my confession?"

"Of course you moron, I've been in love with you since the start of the year"

"Good, now how about we go to my room before Iida can report you for shouting in the middle of the night? I don't want to miss any time with my new boyfriend because he has detention"

They told the rest of the squad in the morning and all of them reacted the same way

"Finally"

(How dare Bakugo and Kirishima say that?!)

Denki tried to take Sero to as much romantic dates as he could because he didn't want to happen the same as with Jirou

Sero realized this and told him that he wasn't going to stop loving him because their dates consisted in playing videogames late at night in one of their rooms

Denki finally understood but still liked to take his boyfriend to romantic places, just sometimes

With Mina... I don't really ship her with anyone? But I like to think she had a crush on each of the girls in the class

Like, first it was Jirou, they clicked good together although they were different

They would spend efternoons in Jirous room, Mina helping Jirou with her personal pieces because she had a really good sense of rythm, but then Kami started liking her so Mina tried to grow out of it, she didn't want to interfere

Then it was Uraraka, she was just so smushy and cute, so lovable, Mina loved making her blush but, once again, there was Deku (or so she thought), so nothing

Tsuyu was a bit easier, it was nice to be with someone so calm to contrast with her extroverted personality, she was like a refuge from all Minas energy, but it wasn't the big thing, so when Tsuyu started dating Uraraka, Mina wasn't even hurt, she was happy for her friends

Momo was a strange crush, Mina figured it was because she always helped her with her studies and other things, Mina was always the one helping others in middleschool so it was nice to have someone return that to her, she also grew out of it and just in time for when Momo started dating Jirou

Hagakure was the most difficult to overcome, they just fitted so well together, they were both super energetic and crazy, they spent whole nights talking about anything that came to their minds, either personally or on the phone

Mina had a good sense of fashion so she started to help Hagakure with her appareance, she bought her a lot of transparent clothes as a joke (she wore something more than that) but Hagakure actually loved it

She also started painting freckles on the invisible girl, some on the face and the shoulders, she varieted almost every day but they found a pathern that Hagakure loved (glittery freckles with some stars and diamonds) and she wears them everyday

She also paints her lips with some transparent-with-a-little-of-color and glitter (id that makes sense?) lipstick (like, if she's wearing something yellow the lipstick is a bit yellow and so)

It was Hagakure who introduced Mina to jewelry and piercings (I like to think she has a lot of piercings in her ears) and Mina fell in love with it, she started to wear a lot of rings and necklaces and got a whole lot of piercings, but she specially loved to decorate her horns

(I actually really like this ship????? Might as well do some fanart)

So yeah it was pretty hard

Kiri was the only one who knew about all her crushes and he always made her feel better and made it easier to move on

Of course kiribaku, kamisero and momojirou end up married as pro heroes (and maybe Mina and Hagakure as well but that's up to you)

Okay, that was long

Longer than I expected

But it's fine, it only lasts one hour or so of car ride and I really had fun with this

Hope you enjoyed these story because I don't think it still can qualiy as headcanons as much as me

(Pls don't hate me for he shinkami, I actually like it but I like kamisero better)

OMG, so I had this idea like Luke x reader where they're not public but Cal, Ash and Mike don't like her (probably bc Luke has been hurt so many times) buuut they individualy come around bc they saw like some cute moments of reader being supportive, or taking care of Luke, or being total badass and like they come around and she meets Liz and Liz is like totally happy with how smitten Luke is and well they just have this fluffy moment Pretty please 👀

Perfect - L. Hemmings

Okay so, I was happy with this but then I didn’t know how to end it so IM SORRY IF IT IS BAD. THANK YOU FOR THE REQUEST, I HOPE YOU LIKE IT! ITS ALSO SHORT SO IM SORRY FOR THAT! IM NERVOUS TO POST BAHAHAHA

Original story by sarcastically-defensive17

It was something out of the ordinary for Ashton, Calum and Michael to not give somebody a chance: so it infuriates Luke to not extent as they deliberately made efforts to avoid Y/N at all costs.

The three men were the kindest people he knew, so he couldn’t fathom why they chose to make his new girlfriend feel less welcome than she already did.

Y/N tried to ignore the cold shoulders she received, knowing it was their way of trying to protect Luke. His past few relationships had resulted in him getting hurt so badly that he was scared to give it another chance.

Until she came along.

It was hard, in his line of work to find somebody who didn’t want him for his fame or his money, but he practically struck gold when he met Y/N, who was so deep in her rock and roll love that she had never heard of a band from Australia named 5 Seconds of Summer.

It was quite a shock when, after a few dates, she found his almost decade long music career listen in black, white and every Colour of Michael Cliffords hair online.

They were now onto their fifth month of dating.

It took the a while to bring the guys around. Calum found comfort in his friends relationship when he witnessed Y/N going into complete nurse mode, and having so much patience while Luke experiences the dreaded man-flu.

He was always one for the drama.

Ashton got close to the woman when he visited Luke at his house during a long writing process. Everybody knew that when Luke was writing, he would go days without proper sleep and not take care of himself, so Ashton, ever the doting friend, intended to bring him coffee and food to make sure he was getting nutrition.

He didn’t expect to walk in on the two of them playing some of their old songs. He learned a lot about Y/N that day, including the fact that she can definitely keep up with him on the drums.

Michael was by far the hardest to bring around. He had been the one to set Luke up with his last girlfriend, who ultimately broke his heart after months of emotional manipulation, so he was hesitant about getting involved in any way with another relationship of Luke’s, out of pure guilt.

It took many stressful weeks and a very intense tournament of Super Smash Bros. but Y/N eventually earned both her victory and a boatload of respect from Michael Clifford. Although, that was built majorly after a tweet surfaced of Y/N defended both the band and Michael’s fiancé from hateful trolls under the guise as a fan. Her and Luke were keeping their relationship out of the public eye for now.

That proved she cared about Luke, but also about his friends. And she was a badass at video games.

The next person to meet, was the most terrifying for Y/N.

She stood by Luke’s side outside of the modestly sized house. The shutters curtains inside were drawn open, and from the outside she could see two people bustling about.

“You okay?” Luke’s blue eyes bored down at hers, concern creating a thick film over the icy colour.

She breathed in through her nose for a minute, breathing out a sigh and smoothing her hands over her black dress, “Just peachy,” her smile was tight and nervous. “Trying to make sure I don’t ruin my chances to get your parents to like me.”

Luke laughed loudly, and she shushed him immediately to increase the tune before they were to enter.

“You’re worries my parents won’t like you? They like everybody!”

“That’s what you said about the guy,” she mumbled, thinking back on the numerous times Luke had promised her the three would like her, and the amount of time she spent trying to win them over. “I’m just nervous, sorry.”

He laced his fingers with her, pressing a kiss to her knuckles, “I’ll be right by your side, my love.”

She flushed at his words, taking a deep breath and pressing her finger to the button. A bell chime sounded, and moments after an older blonde woman was pulling Luke into a hug and pressing kisses to his cheeks.

Y/N found herself smiling at the contact.

The blonde woman turned to her, a wide smile on her face that matched Luke’s. He got a lot of his looks from his mother, that was for sure.

“And you must be the girl who has my baby so smitten,” she pulled Y/N into a crushing hug. “He hardly shuts up about you. It’s so nice to finally put a person to the pictures he sent me!”

She flushed at the comment, shooting Luke a look over his mothers shoulder to which he flashed a cheeky grin.

“It’s so nice to meet you, Mrs Hemmings,” Y/N matched the smile on the hemmings’ faces, feeling happiness wash off of the pair.

“Please, it’s Liz to you,” she pointed at the woman teasingly. “Come on, dinner is almost ready and Andy is fussing with the tellie.”

She was guided through the door by Liz, Luke being left to follow behind them. She was pulled over to an older man who had the same eyes as Luke.

He brightened up at the sight of his son and their guest, “Oh, somebody dragged the Giraffe in. And you must be Y/N.”

She was offered a hand to shake, and she completed a gesture with a smile at his comment about Luke.

“Nice to meet you,” she beamed.

Her nerves were building on the surface as they sat through dinner.

Liz couldn’t help but notice the glances her son would sneak at his beau, and her heart swelled at the sight of him so happy.

She told Luke to excuse himself to clean the dishes with his father, and after slight protest from the two men they conceded, leaving Y/N and Liz alone.

It was quiet for a beat, Y/N not knowing whether to start a conversation or wait for Liz to speak. The older woman made the decision for her.

“You make him so happy.”

Y/N raised her eyebrows, mouth dropping slightly at the emission, “Uh, I do? I mean-“

Liz chuckled placing a hand on her arm to calm the woman’s nerves.

“Honey, Luke doesn’t bring just anybody round to meet us. We’ve only met one of his girlfriends before you, so you must mean a lot to him,” she winked, her blonde hair falling onto her shoulders as she rubbed the woman’s arm.

“Really?” Y/N couldn’t believe the confession. Surely Luke had done this before, it doesn’t mean he values her anymore than he did the other girls.

“I’m serious, Y/N.” Her face holds a smile, but her eyes shout nothing but truth. “I can see it in the way he looks at you. I think my baby boy is in love,” she whispers the last bit, shooting a sly glance towards the kitchen where Luke is with Andy.

Y/N flushes and turns her gaze down to her hands on the table, “I can’t deny that I feel the same way about him.”

Liz erupts into a wide grin, pulling the woman into a hug before she has the chance to realize.

A throat clears in the entry to the dining room, and they turn to see the Hemmings men watching the scene with raised brows. They look so similar that it brings a lopsided smile to Y/n’s face.

“Everything alright?” Luke asks, leaning over to kiss Y/N’s forehead and take his seat next to her.

“Everything is fine, isn’t it, dear?” Liz smirks, watching the way the two hold each other close.

“Everything is just perfect,” Y/N rests her head on her lovers shoulder, smiling at the woman in the room.

21) “People change people.” - Corey Matthews, Girl Meets World

23) “Dan could be like a difficult uncle. I didn’t love his fire-breathing conservative politics. I didn’t love the transformation that came over his novels. In Semi-Tough, he created two benighted Texas jocks and laid their prejudices bare. He was declaring himself a member of the Mark Twain coaching tree. In later books, Dan seemed to be trying to prove he could still tell a racist joke. He insisted that his memoir—the last truly immaculate piece of writing he delivered—include a tirade against political correctness. When his editor said people might be offended, Dan said, ‘Fuck people.’

There are certain writers whose style you pilfer. Certain writers whose moral fiber you try to inherit. For me, Dan represented a third category: a writer whose aura you replicate—or, failing that, try to stand in for a while.” - Bryan Curtis, on Dan Jenkins

24) “Never marry anything. Never choose. Even in love, it's better to be chosen.” - La Dolce Vita

Because the value of great stories lies in the tension between desire and need, between the yearning for the ideal, and the unshakable conviction that ideals don’t really exist, at least not the way we want them to. A great story should hurt a little when it leaves us. There should be some hope, but that hope should remain somewhere just an inch beyond our fingers, because that’s the truth. Even if you had all the perfect moments in the world, you’d still be reaching.” - Zach Handlen, on the Futurama series finale

26) “You can’t see him because he has sunglasses on.” - Alissa Levy

27) “The cinema is the greatest art form ever conceived for generating emotions in its audience. That's what it does best. (If you argue instead for dance or music, drama or painting, I will reply that the cinema incorporates all of these arts).” - Roger Ebert

28) “‘Are you gonna let politics ruin a friendship?’

Yes tf I am

People talk about politics as if it’s this isolated, abstract concept that only matters at election time. Somebody’s politics is their world view. It’s whether they think certain human beings deserve rights. It’s how they think the world should be. And if somebody thinks that the world should be colder, meaner, less accepting and downright hostile to people that are different to them, then sure as fuck is the friendship over.”
