when you're disabled, being financially abused by your parents never ends
#so you're telling me that you got 5k this week from claiming me on your taxes#while hounding me about how i haven't been contributing enough to bills & expenses (i was giving you what you asked for!)#and none of it will go to me because ''i owe it to you for living with you''#despite the fact that 5k nearly covers the mortgage for the entire YEAR#DESPITE THE FACT THAT I COULD PAY OFF MY OWN LANDLORD AND MOVE OUT#btw i literally only let her claim me on her taxes bc she said she'd be giving it to me. and this is the third time she has done this.#promised me it wouldn't happen again. she used me.#she does this thing a lot#where she acts like she's helping people but only does it to hold it over their head#i told her i could have been paying her more for bills but she told me i didn't have to#and now she's complaining that i don't pay enough#i will literally tell her not to help me sometimes#bc she'll do it anyway and then later on you hear ''i did something nice for you so if you don't help me with a favor right now...#...I'll do everything I can to sabotage your life''#so she literally only does it for personal gain#so that she can have an excuse to feel like she's better than all of her kids and that we're just stupid ungrateful assholes#all 3 of her kids could be telling her that her logic is wrong and she won't budge#another thing that happened recently is that she told me i needed to pay her back for a gift she bought me that got stolen#which is also something she does a lot. buys me things without asking and then telling me i have to pay her back for them#i had way more stuff stolen that i had personally bought#i didn't ask for that fucking keyboard sorry. I ALREADY HAD ONE.#and she's been going on about how ''she's the one who's ACTUALLY being affected''#she is FULLY AWARE that the dude she lets over has stolen from us MULTIPLE times#but apparently it's my responsibility to pay her back for something out of my control#STOP BUYING ME SHIT AND TELLING ME I DON'T NEED TO PAY YOU MORE IF YOU'RE JUST GONNA HOLD IT OVER MY HEAD#IF I'M SUCH A BURDEN MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO LEAVE#.bdo

boyfriend hcs (sfw & nsfw) • matt sturniolo
Tumblr media
bf matt
- being quieter by nature, a lot of the times you spend together is quiet time. sometimes you’re reading or watching tik toks and he’s working on stuff for work while music plays in the back. while you’re not talking or cuddling or doing cutesy stuff, you both find comfort and peace in each other’s presence
- staying in is his favorite thing, especially when he has to go out so often due to his job, nothing is better than when you both just chill out in his bed watching Netflix
- despite his introverted nature, he does sometimes take you out on super cute dates. Ice skating, top golf, farmers markets, movie theaters, concerts, even a fancy dinner occasionally
- LOVES treating you. you see a cute thing online? He’s already ordered two, they’ll be delivered on Friday. You have a favorite candy? He’s buying it every time he has to stop at a gas station or grocery store, even if you’re not with him, he’ll give it to you later. He also has a secret stash of it at his place, hidden from his brothers so it doesn’t get stolen, that way he always has some for you when you’re over. He can provide and it makes him happy to make you happy, no matter how many times you try to nicely refuse.
- touchy but lowkey about it in public even after your relationship is public. he’s not and never will be big on pda but if you’re out somewhere at a party or influencer event he still likes physical reassurance in small ways. Holding your hand when you walk in together, his hand resting on the small of your back while you stand next to him, getting introduced to some new people, him giving you a quick kiss on the temple before he leaves to get you both a water, just little things.
- in the privacy of your apartment or his is where he’s much more outgoing with physical expressions of his love. watching a movie together on the couch? he’s snuggled up against you. you’re making you both a snack in the kitchen? he’s holding your hips from behind, his chin hooked on your shoulder as he watches you. bed time? Spooning you immediately. He just loves holding you fr. Even if it leads to him sitting there with rosy cheeks from his brothers teasing when they witness it.
- remember that time Chris mentioned that when he gets furniture he usually ends up having Matt build it for him? Same thing happens with you. You made the mistake of casually mentioning during a phone call with your boyfriend that you were having trouble understanding the instructions to building a bookshelf you just bought, and literally 20 minutes later this man is rolling up, kissing your forehead as he gently takes the instructions from your hands and tells you “don’t worry baby, i got it,”. Matt has it all put together and moved where you want it in less than 30 minutes.
- literally so cute when you compliment him. he gets all shy and smiley when you tell him he looks good in an outfit that he’s wearing. gets all blushy when you compliment the stubble that paints his jaw when he’s in between shaves. secretly, sometimes he purposely ‘forgets’ to shave a couple days just because he loves that you like it
- on days when that voice in his head won’t shut up, anxiety overwhelming him, he finds comfort in you. at the beginning of your relationship he had been careful to not show you too much of his struggles, but as your relationship solidified, you became a person he confides in just as much as his family. he trusts you whole heartedly and seeks shelter from his minds storm in your embrace.
NSFW HCs BELOW. Stop here if you don’t want to read!

bedroom matt
- in private, just you and him? hands are on you 24/7, 365.
- in the mood in an instant. one kiss to his neck and he’s ready to go.
- loves your thighs. they’re so pillowy and soft and he loves having his hands on them, loves gripping them when you have your legs wrapped around him
- loves head obviously but truth be told he loves giving head just a little bit more. There’s just something about watching you fall apart on his tongue, your hips shuttering, chest heaving, eyes rolling back, thighs squeezing his head while your fingers dig into his hair. he could finish then and there just watching you.
- loves having his hand around your throat on the rougher nights. not always choking, sometimes just resting there, knowing he could if he wanted, sometimes he just wants to make you beg for it
- a fiend for kisses. loves kissing you so much and loves trailing open mouthed kisses down your throat when things heat up.
- sex switches up fr. sometimes it’s fast and rough and dirty and other times he really just wants slow and sensual and to make it last as long as possible
- he’s quiet in day to day life, but he’s more outspoken in the bedroom. his voice is all quiet and deep and raspy while he tells you everything he wants to do to you
- praise kink goes crazy, and it goes both ways. he loves telling you how good you are for him, how pretty you look under him. he also LOVES when you tell him, talking about how deep he is and how good it feels, and hearing you moan his name is his favorite thing
- of course, he likes feeling good too, but your pleasure is a priority for him. you never end a night without finishing a couple times.
- KING of aftercare. he’s kissing you softly after, telling you how perfect you are. Soon he’s up heating up the shower for you both to get cleaned up, getting out pjs for you and the softest and fluffiest towels he owns for you to dry off. legs sore? he’s massaging them for you. voice rough? he’s getting you a water asap. he wants to make sure you’re taken care of and feel loved
- LOVES showering with you after, it gives him a good reason to keep his hands all over you. you laugh about it when he tries to be all innocent about it, saying “I’m just helping you get clean baby 😇”
- overall he’s fr the type to rail you into next week and then be the most loving and sweet and wake you up with breakfast in the morning

'*•.¸♡ SAMPO BF HEADCANONS ♡¸.•*'
A/n: the Sampo hcs that have been sitting in my notes for way to long now, unfinished, not proof read, enjoy the crap ♡
Sampo x Reader
¡! ❞ the fact that you rizzed up the rizzlord is already a big accomplishment by itself
¡! ❞ but that he also never lied one bit to you and is fairly reliable, is an even bigger one, for him that is
¡! ❞ he gets you lots and lots of presents. Are they stolen? Are they bought? Are they pulled out of the trash and cleaned? Who knows...
¡! ❞ its a mystery, the whole relationship is a mystery in itself. People really thought this was not gonna work out, you heard the comments and honestly, it didnt only upest you. It also upsets Sampo
¡! ❞ he never showed it to you, how it affected him and his confidence that poeple truly think hes incapable of workinh this relationship out. But for you he always put on a brave face, "Sampo Koski always takes care of his friends and love!"
¡! ❞ but the truth is, he crumbles inside. You did saw the true Sampo, who can listen to you for hours without saying a word, who comforts you at your lowest and pulls you up again, who stays by your side and never leaves, who never lied to you
¡! ❞ very affectionate and touchy. Has his arm around either your shoulder or hips while walking. Even is the type of guy to put his hands in your back pockets, sometimes even pinching you to tease
¡! ❞ sometimes, he just like, is gone. Not after important things tho but you could be out for a walk and boom hes gone like??? And comes back with something for you, as an apology yk. He mostly just disappeared because yk hes on the run anyway, the moment he could get arrested anywhere hes gone
¡! ❞ also for your sake, if they see you together then...he would never forgive himself if they'd use you or treat you bad, maybe even arrest you too!!! Its one of his nightmares tbh, the kinds where he wakes up all sweaty and out of breath
¡! ❞ Sampo is Sampo after all, and Sampo kiiiinda needs care too. Especially yours. If youre a natrually caring and affectionate person, it would help so much. But just your presence at all puts him both at ease and not. Like I said, hes scared for your safety even tho he will give his everything to protect you
¡! ❞ He changed to good? Kind of, like he is more reliable, trustworthy and all that. Only around you that is but he will be more honest with other's too. Although he still has his flight instinct by any danger or problems with others. You kind of taught him confrontation ig?
¡! ❞ but now to more cute stuff!!!! Like i said, loooads and loooads of presents. They range from cute to absolutely creepy, usefull and useless, expensive and for free. There's everything. But the best is when he comes home, all wet and soaked clutching the chocolate he got for you with his dear life against his chest to protect them and the box
¡! ❞ "Don't worry! I had everything under control!...Kind off" --- Sampo, having nothing in control besides you in bed----
¡! ❞ oop no jkjk---unless you're into that :)
¡! ❞ hes such a tease too! Like have you seen his outfit, Sir, this is my blog pls put your FUCKING V-LINE AWAY

Hello!! I just finished playing Perfect Love and OMGGG, I LOVED ITT. The entire plot-line and game concept was extremely unique!! And ouuhhh I loved Milo the most <33. Best boy, really.
Is there anything else you can mention about Milo? Like some sweet fun facts about him that were not mentioned in the game? I'd really like to know him full on out! Otherwise, that's all. Have a good day, afternoon, or night!! :D
Wooo! I'm glad you liked it! It always makes me happy to hear!
I did have a list of things here about Milo, but here are some more.
Pre Milo:
In theory, Milo can have multiple forms, not just Violence and Manipulation. He can be motherly, competitive, preppy, vain, anything so as long as Eris is able to influence them in that way.
In the same vein, Milo is actually a really fast learner, as you can see in the game. He doesn't think he is but under the pressure of wanting to make sure that his love doesn't leave him, he learns and understands remarkably fast.
Milo is deathly afraid of bugs, as seen in the manipulation route. I guess that's what happens when you're forced to eat insects as child. Thanks bullies.
I think I should probably make him shorter but I headcannoned him to be about 6ft. It's literally because I'm really bad with heights so I wanted a good round number.
He really likes rabbits/bunnies as it's his favorite animal. He still has his first bunny stuffed animal that he had as a child and has repaired it several times. He likes large lop bunnies the most but his parents wouldn't let him keep it when he was smaller.
His major is school is kinesiology for the sole reason that I think it would be funny that he's kind of buff under all those clothes. He probably does work out on occasion, but considering how sad he is I don't think he always maintains it.
The backpack he is wearing actually handmade by him. He actually is pretty good at handmade crafts and makes a lot of stuff, however, he usually ends up not finishing them or throwing them away because he ultimately thinks its useless.
If you make anything handmade for him, no matter how bad you think it is, he will keep it. He also would probably add something onto it because he can't help himself.
If given clothing, handmade or bought, he will try to sew something onto it unless you tell him not to.
He is pretty good basic first aid because he always had to patch himself up when he was growing up.
If you access the scene in the code, you'll find that he likes more relaxing games like Stardew Valley, Spiritfarers, Animal Crossing, etc.
When holding hands, he will usually hold Eris by the fingers, not the palms for some reason.
Manipulation Milo:
He's learned he's like rubbing his face on things he likes (not at all influenced by my habit of doing that). Because of that, he likes to rub against Eris's hair a lot.
Pre Milo can actually hold his alcohol pretty well because of his size, but doesn't drink much and gets sleepy pretty fast after drinking. Manipulation Milo has embraced this and now basically can drink a ton without getting wasted. Tends to be a lot more clingy towards Eris the more he drinks.
Manipulation Milo practices speaking like Eris by recording them when he thinks they're not noticing. Practices a lot in the mirror to be as close to them as possible when talking.
Has learned to have a strong appreciation of cats and they come flock to him when nearby. Also has learned how to purr.
When holding Eris's hands, he tends to sweat a lot. Eris, I imagine can't hold his hand for very long without it getting soaked.
He never wears the first earrings that Eris gave him and keeps them preserved somewhere in his room. Always wears copies of it in case it ever gets lost or stolen.
Changed his eating habits to appear more thinner and dainty, to match his new personality and appearance.
Has gotten really good with social games, so much so that in some groups they can't play it anymore because he always wins. Also is surprisingly good at Co-op, especially with Eris.
Violence Milo:
Probably won't admit it, but likes being headpatted. Will come towards Eris and slightly nudge his head towards their hand to indicate they want to be headpatted, but will never ask them.
Eats a lot more now than he did previously. Pre Milo ate more like a bird, but Violence Milo devours his food. Seeing him eat meat is like watching a dog tear apart steak.
Because of this, he's also learned how to cook more meals. Before Milo just cooked to survive, but now Violence Milo makes pretty good meals. Will cook anything Eris asks.
Has gotten more into shooters and fighting games. He actually seems to have really good reaction timing now compared to what he was like before.
When holding Eris's hands, tends to squeeze too hard before loosening it because he gets shy. He's working on not doing that but Eris's hands have been crushed multiple times before.
Really into wolves and big dogs. Really likes german shepards and watching him play with dogs is like night and day because he's so mushy around them .
Probably has a punching bag with Ryan's face on it somewhere in his room. That picture has been replaced over and over again and that punching bag looks like it's on the brink of breaking.
Growls and whimpers in his sleep sometimes. When his back or head is stroked, it turns into a more comfortable and happy growl and he tries to hug whatever is closest to him. If it's mentioned to him by Eris, he'll probably get embarrassed. Being big spooned will also cause his leg to shake for a bit before he ends up sleeping soundly.
I hope I remember a lot of these facts later because I feel like some of this stuff I just made up on the spot.

The Mcdonalds' Love Language of Gift Giving
Luther and Mrs Mac hate Mac– this is undeniable. But it wasn't always that way.
Tumblr media
Did they have to do this? Not necessarily. Breaking into a house and stealing other people's christmas gifts were extra risky with Mac being there. Mac gets excited and screams when he sees his gift, and they were probably aware of this, which is why he was the last to open his gift.
And yet they chose to bring Mac each time, even though they could've instead stolen the gifts to bring home, pretending like it came from them. I can think of a few reasons why they don't, but the one I'd like to believe is that while they couldn't afford decorating their home, they still wanted little Mac to experience unboxing his gifts the way most kids would– surrounded by a christmas tree and bright lights.
When Luther got out of prison, he showed indifference and even hostility to Mac the entire time, which was why Mac believed that Luther was going to kill him (and Charlie). But it turned out that Luther had listened to Mac when he said he always wanted to go to Cooperstown with his dad, and so Luther bought a ticket for them. When asked why he kept it a secret, Luther said that he just wanted it to be a surprise. For someone who didn't show much emotions, Luther wanted to express his apology by giving Mac what he wanted.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mac does the same– he listens.
One of Mac's biggest romantic gesture in the show is buying the RPG for Dennis. He was even busying himself the whole day trying to figure out how to surprise Dennis with this. When he finally gave the RPG to Dennis, Dennis asked him, and how did you know I wanted a RPG? And Mac told him that it was because he knew Dennis... and that Dennis had mentioned it a lot of times. Giving a gift was Mac's way of showing Dennis that he cared, and Mac was all smiles after realising that his gift had an effect on Dennis.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mac was also the one who immediately suggested buying a rat stick for Charlie's 'birthday'. And sure, this could be seen as manipulative, since Charlie wanted to quit rat bashing but I honestly think he knew that if Charlie didn't bash rats, he would still find some other animal to bash. That's because they've known each other since forever, and Charlie had a bashing stick when he was a kid too. And Charlie appreciated the gift, getting super emotional out of happiness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(In the same episode, Mac bought Dennis a shirt too, but Dennis returned the actual shirt Mac bought for a nicer one. I think this was when Mac realised that he only enjoys giving gifts if the person receiving it actually likes the gift, which led him to listen to Dennis' wishes more and buy the RPG)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okayyyy, the last. This is minor but Mac's insistence on buying a pear for Charlie when he found out Charlie had never eaten one. And now in the cook book, he has "Pear tart for Charlie" in his section, with a note of thanks because he thinks Charlie is going to like it. Super cute stuff

Treech x mentor reader part 3/5
PART 5 IN THE WORKS READ THE REST OF MY BOOK 🤬🤬
HEY SO URM 3 PARTS ONE NIGJT?? ALSOOO THIS IS THIS IS THE SECOND TO LASF PART AND WILL BE SUPER LONG.
Once the academy ended the amount of food you bought was, small. Barely even a meal. Stuff stolen from the academy and off your own plate, which snow, had given you that idea as you watched him do the same, pocketing food for Lucy gray.
“This is stupid.”
“You’re stupid.”
Snow answers back amused by your expression.
“We can’t just bring them scraps! They need proper food.” You snark holding up the tissue wrapped sandwich. As you approached you could see some students already at the zoo muttering and giggling amusedly over the tributes.
As you approached you spotted treech, sat next to lamina on a bench in the far corner.
“Treech?” You call moving closer to the zoo kneeling down.
He turns his attention to you, before turning to lamina checking if she’d be ok, as she gave no response, he sighs standing up coming over to you.
“What are you doing down there?” He says amusedly
“Getting you water and food.” You roll your eyes standing up handing him the flask and the wrapped food.
“There’s barely enough for one.”
“So?”
“What about Lamina?” He says frowning.
“I’ll bring more later I promise, but that’s all I could get for now.” You say looking over to Lamina as she sits solemnly.
“So.. how good at you with an axe” you say shifting back and forth on your feet.
“What? Oh.. for the games?.. I’m ok, never used it on a person, only on wood.” He shrugs continually chugging the water in the flask.
“Hm.. so… would you say your-”
Immediately a crash, and bloody screams were heard as one of the tributes grabbed her mentor and started attacking her.
Immediately three peace keepers stood up from their posts raising their guns and firing at the tribute, bullets ricochet off the bars firing widely everywhere.
You couldn’t help the scream you let out backing away in fear, Treech turns to you reaching a hand through the cage grabbing your arm.
“It’s ok! Your ok! It’s fine.. you’re fine.” He cries out slowly down your steps before you fall.
He immediately grabs your arm in a funny way through the bar turning you away from the sight.
“I’d.. go home.. ok? Go home rest and come back later when this is all done. When.. the bodies are gone.. you’re gonna be fine y/n..” he nods worriedly letting go of your arm.
You nod gently, taking a few steps back trying not to look at the body. Snow however appears next to you grabbing your arm.
“Cmon. Let’s go y/n.” He says exhausted as he pulls you away from the zoo.
You turn back trying to see treech but he’s returned to his seat beside lamina looking even more worn out then before.
It was late in the evening when you came back, the zoo had no visitors and most of the tributes had sat down looking exhausted, apart from the occasional cough from Dill, there was not a single sound.
In your arms were two bags of food, and three bottles of water, enough to get treech, and Lamina through the night and morning.
“Treech?… treech come on!” I hiss out.
“My arms are hurting…” you hear movement and suddenly there’s Treech stood in front of you by the cage.
“You actually bought us stuff?” He whispers stunned at the sight of large amounts of food.
“It’s for you and lamina, I thought you both could use some and I did promise didn’t I?” You smile pushing it through the gates to them. Treech slowly reaches out, taking them from your hands carefully as if scared you’d change your mind and snap at him.
He quickly takes it handing a bottle to Lamina and a pack of food, she looks up at you slowly, sniffling and wiping her eyes.
“Thank you…” she whispers out before choking up again.
You smile back turning to treech. “Listen, tomorrow you’re all getting rounded up and taken to the arena to look at it and discuss strategy. Whilst you’re here, discuss strategy, do what you have to do. Make friends..” you whisper grasping the bars of the zoo.
“You’re sure.. it’s hard, there’s no one here who seems even interested in me.”
“They are, I’m sure of it, there just.. nervous maybe?” You offer out an answer only to get a scoff back.
It’s silent for a moment, your gaze goes to where wovey is sat leaning against her tribute partner, Bobbin.
“I do feel bad.. I mean.. wovey is so young..” you mutter looking in defeat at the small girl.
“You never know, she might pull through, tiny but mighty.” You chuckle as Treech makes a large hand gesture.
“Well I’m hoping you pull through and win.” You smile at him nodding your head.
“Thanks I guess. Well, I guess I’ll be seeing you tomorrow? Don’t try and sneak in the cage again. They were going to kill you” he says looking into your eyes with a frown.
“I won’t! Promise.” You smile taking your hands from the cages bars. “Try and get some sleep treech,.” You mutter as you move away giving him a silent wave which, surprisingly he returns it.
As you approach the arena running up the steps the first thing you saw was the tributes, all lined up based on there district and gender. District, then Male and female. You spot snow leaning close to Lucy Gray whispering in her ear, you hadn’t seen him since the last afternoon when the tribute was shot.
You spot treech stood nervously adjusting his hat looking around solemnly as more mentors arrive.
“Miss me?” You joke moving to stand next to him. You look him up and down noticing he’s much less tired today and has gained colour back in his cheeks.
“No.” He answers shortly. He nods to Reaper.
“Where’s that girl? His mentor?”
“Who clemensia? I.. huh. I actually don’t know.” You say curiously looking around at everyone.
Suddenly the gates open and peacekeepers guide everyone into the arena, as you begin to move in, you turn back to look at snow only to see Lucy Gray clutching tightly onto his hand.
‘Not bad snow, not bad..’ you think as you glance to Treech who’s shoulders immediately tense up.
Immediately the arena is scene, and it’s huge. The first thing you notice, is there’s not a single place to hide. Not one.
“Here, cmon let’s go look around.” You say to treech grabbing his hand pulling him into the arena properly.
“Don’t drag me..” he snaps but, he doesn’t pull away though, as you continue to drag him through the arena.
You stop pointing at a large rock.
“That’s the cornocopia. It’s where there will be weapons, and all kinds of stuff.” You say simply. “There will most likely be an axe too so there’s something you’re familiar with.”
“Oh.. right.. there’s no where to hide though?” He thinks allowed looking around.
“You can climb right? Look, up there. If you can-”
There’s a load boom before you can get your final sentence out.
“Oh fuck!” You cry pulling treech backwards as rubble and the arenas roof begins to fall.
“What the hells happening!” Treech shouts over the noise wrapping an arm around you pulling you away from a piece of rubble.
A plane, an enemy ship, falls through the sky and crashing into the centre of the arena, Treech pulls your hand dragging you from the rubble, but not fast enough. Before you can even blink, a piece of brick smashes into your head knocking you to your knees.
“Shit y/n! Y/n oh my god your bleeding… your head.” He gasps as he tilts your head up pressing his hand onto the wound.
“I’m.. I’m fine. I’m fine..” you try and utter feeling your brain because to mix and become fuzzled.
“Treech you need to get out of here.. you need to run…” you choke out.
“No no way! And leave you?” Treech pulls you up wrapping your arm around his neck. As he begins to manoeuvre you out of the arena.
Within a few minutes you could feel fresh air on your face as you make it out of the arena, many tributes and mentors stood outside staring shocked at the rubble falling.
Before you can blink, a peacekeeper has grabbed you and is supporting you as two begin to drag treech into the transportation van.
“Y/n?! Help her god damn it!” He shouts as he’s slammed into the van.
Time begins to blur and warp as you open your eyes again only to see your apartment walls.
Erm so next part will be out soon but I may or may not have accidentally deleted a chunk of it 😌 @ch8mpion

Hey! It’s my birthday today, I was wondering if I could have some birthday headcanons for some slashers? Like what the boys would do on their s/o’s special day. Include your favs, I love them all! (Especially Otis he’s my pookie <3) Ty! 🖤🦇
Yoo happy happy birthday! Somone is a Taurus i see. Sadly I dont write for Otis :( but I can write for other slashers!
Ghostface
Mans will print whole album with their photos and maybe give them something shiny too. Like nice earrings or that necklace s/o was looking for everywhere. But hes top tier stalker so he totapny knows what's important to them so if they have any cool hobbies he will probably buy something from that topic for example you like painting? Boom brand new paints! You enjoy gardening? Yoo new pots just dropped
He wants to take them out to nice restaurant, later maybe watch a movie or something
It doesnt matter how he spends this night as far as s/o is happy with it really
To be honest im 100% sure he will trow a party if s/o is extroverted person! Music food and party hats!
Micheal Myers
This guy will walk up to them while they are calmly sleeping like lil bebi, grab them and drag them to kitchen. "Wha- Micheal it's way to early for dinne- S/o didnt finish cuz they saw huge cake on the table.
It was clearly stolen but untouched and pretty! With strawberries on top!
He didnt say anything he just 👁👁 very much so. Plase say nice things, the nearest cake shop is like 20minutes away he had to work so much for it.
He also will fallow them everywhere, like more than usually??
Jason Voorhees
Men will pick up any flower in 30meter radius and then give them all to them
Also he may catch a frog accidently and decide thats a great gift too
He tries his best to be good boyfriend/husband material🥰
He will try to make is as romantic as possible! Whatever s/o wants will happen today😈
Thomas Hewitt
My dude gonna be in kitchen since 6am cuz the breakfast he made has delightful AND he woke them up by brining it to bed?? Come one Thomas you are spoiling them
He will probably just make a lot of good food for them!
Also he decided to do huge step in their relationship and begged Luda to buy some ALIVE chickens. Now they have baby chimkens to raise on the farm how cute.
Asa Emory
This goofball had difficult time deciding what to give them😰
He wanted to give them some pretty moths or butterflys but he didnt want to make it obvious
But at the same time it would make a great gift? Like its very iconic for Asa to collect bugs so it would make sense to give them to his loved ones? Idk man he just wants them to by happy
He will buy some takeout food and eat it together while watching some animal planet stuff
Also he decided to give them some cute beatles🥰 (if s/o doenst like dead animals he acually bought lil glass box, plants and made acuall lil home for lil beatle buddies)
Sorry if it feels rushed i wanted to hurry up so you can read it on the day of ur b-day🥰

Hey 👋 I wanted to request a scenario involving the twisted wonderland first years (ace, deuce, Epel, jack, and sebek). I thought of how they would react to an MC that bought them a gift with what little savings they managed to make. Crowley is barely helping them with a few necessities, yet the MC wants to show their gratitude to their friends.
note : i disappeared because of my college's final exam: writing a novel! however, i am back bby! uploading another one by tomorrow, answering some chats too ^^
cw: platonic relations !

ace trappola 
In his shoes, money is something he can somehow balance. Ace had a reasonably stable financial life, and his comfort in money sheltered him in his dorm. He didn’t care about how his money would sometimes fluctuate due to his impulsiveness in buying certain things. The cherry pies, the shoes, the random expensive things he thought were interesting, and some new trends. 
Ace never denied being spoiled; while he gets mad if some do, free stuff is free! Getting sparkly and new gifts was the norm for him due to his status as the youngest. So, he was not that surprised when you offered this one present. It was small and light, yet Ace held it close to his heart (not that he would tell you)
Yet, there was a hunch forming when he noticed your lacking luster. Less food on your plate and your lack of extra items in the house made Ace curious. What was with the sudden lack of something you usually had in stock? 
It wasn’t until long after your allowance ran out when Ace found out you spent a reasonable amount for him. Flattered as he is, he found this unacceptable! As your closest friend, he gave a big scolding! The scolding lasted a few minutes, it was mindless rambling, and you nodded alongside Ace. 
Ace smiled softly (this is a rare instance!) as he gave you a light shove. It was a shove to tell you to stop putting his wants above your needs. Being your friend was more than enough, as cheesy as it sounds, because you bring more joy than this shiny thing you gave. Well, maybe not much. Ace loved the gift.
“You’re dumb. No! I loved the gift. I mean, hello? A free limited edition card plus cherry pie?! Sign me up. But, yo, I need you to earn money. My family makes ends meet, and I am better than you. No harsh feelings… But you’re broke, so keep some savings, m’kay?”
Tumblr media
deuce spade
Deuce grew up in a tight-budget household, and his dear mother carefully budgeted everything in his house. Due to this, he wasn’t as spoiled as many kids his age. He didn’t get shiny toys. His clothes were sometimes torn and had to be patched up from his fights. Admittedly, some might have been stolen when he was a juvenile delinquent wanting to get something new.
Deuce now gets some excellent gifts with a pricey tag when the holidays roll in. Deuce is never the one to deny a gift that he can use and keep for a long time. Any donation is something Deuce Spade treasures and hides to keep it safe! So, rest assured your hard-earned gift for him is appreciated thoroughly. 
He can see or sense something quite late when it comes to certain things. After a few weeks, Deuce can see something wrong. While he is busy and more occupied with other things, the way your grocery trips seem to stop or lessen makes him observant of your nature.
After some questioning with others and Sam, he was shell-shocked. Never had he expected the effort put into a person like him. It made him happy but, at the same time, upset. Learning that you sacrificed what little money you had for a want made him remember the times he was a kid and he begged his mother or grandmother for a toy. It was akin to a feeling of guilt and thankfulness. 
It made him very appreciative of you even more. A friend never goes as far as to sacrifice something just for him. It usually just ends in favors. For this event, Deuce dubs you an exceptional friend, which means he would offer more favors than usual and might pay attention to your budget too. After all, you did a lot for him.
“I appreciate this so much, Perfect! However, this gift is costly. I overlooked that. I promise you! I am in debt, and you get more favors from me now! By the way, if you need more help with the budget, I have some experience!”
Tumblr media
jack howl
Jack is a very modest person who grew up in a very stable and well-disciplined environment. Money isn’t an issue, and his wants are always on the back of his head. So, gifts are something he isn’t that used to wanting. Discipline was evident in his character beyond his physical appearance. 
Every gift received is something Jack would make sure that isn't causing someone in trouble for financial terms and that it is safely used. So, when he received a trinket that suited his tastes from you, he made sure to keep it In excellent condition. One, it was a showcase of his appreciation. Two, he hates wasting someone’s gifts due to his recklessness.
Though, Jack had some suspicions about the fact your healthy meals and tuna supply had dwindled. Was the headmaster not giving enough as usual? He swore you had some excellent earned money from your errands that seemed ridiculous. When he later found the reason was the gift, Jack’s ears drooped as guilt washed over his being.
While the gift was something Jack truly liked, he was guilty that he indulged before realizing that you don’t have enough resources or money for himself. You smiled and waved off his concern, saying that his appreciation and respect were enough. That wasn’t sitting right with Jack. 
He always made sure to compensate you for your gifts with his gifts to you. Jack makes gifts rather than spending. After all, he knows you would try to pay with more money-oriented gifts. So, while you both enjoyed exchanging meaningful gifts, Jack reminds you that those are more important than the monetary ones. It feels more significant, he quotes. 
“So, I got you some diet foods. It is good, I trust you. While I know Grim won’t like diet foods in your dorm, this is a tasty and tuna-flavored alternative to the canned tunas. I heard some of the prices increased, so this is cheaper and as tasty… Yeah.. Uh... No need to pay me back!”
Tumblr media
epel felmier 
Soot and dirt always covered and smeared Epel's adoring face. He knew hardships and trials as quickly as he knew how to breathe. Gifts are something he gets on occasion. Not once did he seek out a token extensively. Meemaw was always telling him lessons and morality of appreciation and not being this little brat.
Call him prudish, but he hated gifts. The gifts of throwaway trinkets, cards that rot in a box, and flowers that decay to the earth. He hated it. But not in the way of pure hatred, just a big chunk of annoyance. He loves gifts that are unique, usable, and practical. So, giving him something he could use was a dealbreaker.
However, as grateful as he is, Epel is skeptical. The tuna and apple pies he used to see stocked up are now usually eaten in succession. You had some indulgences, like extra snacks, were suddenly put on hold. Initially, he thought of this instance as you being frugal as that Headmaster won’t give you enough. 
He felt immense guilt when he discovered that your newfound frugal lifestyle was because of the thoughtful gift on his bedside table. It was a gift he adored from you; it was compact, functional, and elegant enough to pass Pomefiore’s requirement for decorum. 
In return, Epel made himself your servant for other tasks that the Headmaster gave. Be it the weird cleaning spots or running across the field for a product you probably never heard of, he was familiar with. Epel even wanted to give back the gift so you could get your money back, but Rook smacked his head and declared how rude it was to return a gift even if the intent was  Sighing; Epel just compromises for the both of you.
“Yo, Prefect. Uh… Got any more weird tasks that Headmaster needs ya to do? I’m up for it. Look, don’t give me that face. I wanna help; you gave me a surprise. I’m just returning the favor, ‘kay?”
Tumblr media
sebek zigvolt
Like Jack, Sebek is disciplined in many aspects beyond his physique. He grew up with the mindset that he must serve Malleus and that Malleus was the utmost priority in life. He only came to know the wants of his young master or anyone close to his young master. So, gifts or his wishes don’t cross his mind.
That isn’t to say he has some longing for some matters; after all, he was still a young student branching out to discover new sides of himself. Ever since he stepped into NRC, he has known that not everything would be the same. Sebek turned out to be right as you also entered his life, making him more human than he was in his entire life.  He soon found out he sometimes yearns to hang out with friends; he likes to indulge in foods that were restricted from his diet as a trainee for a knight, and many more.
So, to indulge him a bit more, you bought him a gift. The gift is something that he was so fond of. It was up to his tastes and relatively hard to find, but it also was something from you– a friend he longed to bring out more humanity in him. Yet, from the get-go, Sebek can tell that something is wrong after you give him a gift. As your certified friend (and a bit of a mother hen), he can see your meals lessening and some of your necessities disappearing. 
Scolds you relentlessly, spouting out anything from “you’re young master’s friend, are you trying to hurt him?!” to “are you insane, human?!”. Honestly, it does wear him and you down to a degree over his thunderous voice, but you nonetheless appreciate those words. You sheepishly tell him that the gift was a thank you and reminder of how he is your friend. A privilege that you deem is of the highest degree. 
Sebek just rolls his eyes and consults with others on how he can repay a gift; after all, he only knows how to give. Lilia primarily consulted him; after all, Lilia holds a dear spot for Sebek. Lilia always nudges the lad to enjoy his youth more. Back to the topic, Lilia does encourage Sebek to show appreciation and give a gift too! It could be more practical than a sentimental one due to your current conditions (if only he could shout at the Headmaster as you do)!
“Human! I mean… Prefect! This gift holds a… forget it! I brought you a gift too! Alongside some essentials. I didn’t expect this gesture from you after all my yelling. You really are a handful. Lilia says you might like this… but I was hesitant to– JUST TAKE IT!”

𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞 ๑⁠˙⁠❥⁠˙- what would it be like to be asked to be their valentine?
including: vi, caitlyn, jinx, sevika.
Tumblr media
— 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬: fluff, f!reader, legal age gap, lowercase intended.
— 𝐚/𝐧: gotta love sweetheart aesthetic!
Tumblr media
𝐯𝐢 ♡
you were a very close friend of vi's. you'd stuck around when she needed somebody the most. you were the only person she knew she could rely on ever since vander passed. no matter how many fights you had, how life treated you both, how many opposites against your friendship there seemed to be in the way. vi's feelings turned into something deeper a while ago. she realised she loved you after she had an awful day at work, and the only person she needed to see was you.
despite a recent fight you had over vi letting her stress get the best of her, she bought you your favorite fast food and a heart pin for your bag, you loved those accessories, she noted. you were surprised to see her sitting at your doorstep with some paperbags after you came back from work.
"cupcake, you're finally here...happy to see me? i...got you those fries and sandwich you like...with a cupcake! just like you... listen, i know i was bad to you and i said mean things. you can punch me in the face! go on! what you mean no? ok...then, forget the punching. (y/n)...(y/n). i don't know how to be lovey dovey and stuff but i am trying here. i like you. i really do. can i come in? we can eat this...and maybe i talk you into being my valentine."
Tumblr media
𝐜𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐲𝐧 ♡
caitlyn slipped a lock of her long hair behind her ear as she anxiously tapped her foot against the wooden tiles of the hallway of your building. the enforcer sucked in a breath, glancing between the bouquet of white and red roses she'd ordered at the local flower shop. you both met at a local piltover festival while caitlyn was on duty. she helped you retrieve your stolen wallet and she'd been awestruck with you ever since. she knew you worked at a local cafe and she would always order her morning breakfast with you, sharing small conversations that meant a lot to her.
Caitlyn gathered enough courage to knock gently on your door. There is no turning back now, she thought to herself, as the monotonous sound of your footsteps began getting closer and closer until the knob turned, followed by the low creak of the door. And then your face emerged, your full body following. She couldn't help but smile. You were the most beautiful girl she'd ever seen.
"hello, (y/n). good afternoon! how are you? i am quite fine, too. better now, actually, after seeing you. oh, this bouquet? no, no, no, it isn't for me. i ordered it for you. i remember you told me you are fond of roses. they did remind me of you. so...would you like to go to the movies with me? amazing! and lastly...be my valentine, please."
Tumblr media
𝐣𝐢𝐧𝐱 ♡
jinx spent the whole morning and afternoon preparing a surprise for you. she was your best friend, but the blue haired girl wanted to be so much more than that. she'd loved you for such a long time, but never felt courageous enough to ask you out. the voices would convince her that you would never feel the same for such a loser like her. but this time, after two years, she wouldn't waste another valentine away from the girl she loved.
she broke into your house while you were visiting your family and went straight into your bedroom to give you her gift and proposal: with her colour sprays and inventions, she painted your walls and drew on them with little doodles of hearts, adorable animals, you both in a beautiful garden...she also spread handmade gifts all over your room. your bed was covered in red dye with hearts and a monkey robot on top of it held a banner: "(y/n), i love you! be my valentine!"
"toots, ya finally came home! ya like your surprise!? don't look so dumbfounded, it's amazin'! it took me hoooours to finish. look at that lil spinning ballerina i made for ya! and the bed, so soft! aaaand...will you be my valentine!? i love ya, toots! i want you to be my girl and we will kaboom boom blah togetha'! wait...ya love me back! aaaaah, i told y'all, she is mine! now come lay on ya nice bed and we will cuddle, valentine!"
Tumblr media
𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐤𝐚 ♡
you were one of the girls who worked at babette's. though not as a stripper or a prostitute, you were a waitress, trying to make some money in order to survive in zaun. if you were lucky enough, you'd get some tips here and there from drunks who were hopeful to get under your pants. however, sevika was different. you felt no malice coming from her. silco's right hand woman was different from the men who could only see you as a piece of meat. she actually treated you with respect. the bare minimum, yes. but in zaun, the minimum was a lot.
sevika was fond of you. you were a woman who she felt something she couldn't quite get a grasp on towards. it was a weird sensation on her chest, seeing you. her heart would pump faster and she'd feel thrilled whenever you demonstrated to be impressed by a story she told. it wasn't that she didn't feel physically attracted to you. she did. oh, how she did...though it was more than that. and that persistent, unknown feeling annoyed her.
you were dead concerned when sevika showed up bruised and bloodied from a street fight with vi. she definitely didn't expect to have you on your stupid cupid costume at valentine's day to be patching her up and gently cleaning her wounds, inside a small spare room of the bar. the sounds of the muffled loud music and you humming to yourself were swirling around her head as she glanced at you, releasing a strained breath.
"listen, (y/n). i don't know how to do this shit and i think it's stupid, but be my valentine. that cupid costume would give me second hand embarrassment had it been in anyone else, but you look like an actual angel in that. what you laughing at? that isn't corny! i wanna take you on a date, but i am fucked up right now, doll. tomorrow i will pick you up at your place by seven o'clock, be ready. gonna take you somewhere nice, not this dump of drunks. you're special to me, really...i mean it. thanks for being here. you can always count on me too, sweetheart."

I saw the ask about Lewis and I couldn't agree more! His attitude is entitled, his thinks the motosport world owns him something, and it pisses me off. This season on dts it just showed more (even if we all are aware on how they change stuff to look more dramatic and all).
He builted a character while in Mercedes, people bought it, and fail to see that underneath he is not all the mister fixing the world that people think
I’m watching the Merc episode right now and yeesh the attitude on this man. He really gives off the energy that he thinks he’s the first person to ever drive a race car, and now he acts like he could build one, too. He remains unpleasant af. And I 100% sympathise with his frustrations but he has this martyr act like he’s doing anyone a favour to deign to drive the Merc shitbox as if he’s doing it for free. You know where the door is.
But you know, besides Toto, I think that whole team was done with him. Even Toto looks tired but he’d have hung on, but between the way Lewis is talking about everyone and the way he says they talked to him - which I totally believe - I think Merc as a whole was sick of him. And that’s not even his fault, he lost the trust in the engineers that they could do their job.
Like, just yesterday in an interview Max was asked if he was skeptical when he saw the designs for the RB20 and he was like “I’m not an engineer, I trust they know what they doing and they know how to make a fast car”, which was in such stark contrast to how Lewis was saying he would be in the factory meeting with the engineers a lot about design over the break. He didn’t trust them anymore and they grew annoyed by his micromanagement. There was bitterness on both sides I think, and they were not working with him the way they should have been.
His obsession with being THE name in motorsport history is a complex on its own but I think he’d have been better going about that off track. Should have retired gracefully after 2021, stolen a bit of the hype from Max’s win, and transitioned to an advisory role or something. Even become some kind of diversity advocate for the FIA since he loves that sort of stuff. Idk if maybe part of his issue with Toto is that he convinced Lewis to stay with the promise of a good car and Lewis hasn’t forgiven him or what. He had a way out and he didn’t take it and now he’s punishing everyone around him because it’s too late to get out with his reputation intact.

Tumblr media
“Fine. If the old man tries to string me up for it, I’m throwing you under the bus,” he said.
You cocked your head to the side and looked at him for a moment. He wasn’t looking at you, his eyes were on the road, but the tips of his ears had the barest hint of a blush.
“No, you’re not,” you said finally. “You won’t do that.”
His eyes stayed on the road. “Are you so sure of that?”
You turned your gaze to the road in front of you. “Your ears go pink when you lie.”
Neither of you spoke much on the drive to where your car supposedly was. You were too busy willing your car to be where the spell said it was and Sweeney was a million miles away. What exactly he was thinking about, you could never be sure.
After about an hour, you drove past the eighth Circle K you’d seen.
“Wait, go back!” you shrieked, slapping your hands down on the dashboard. “That was it!”
The car jolted as Sweeney slammed on the brakes. “What did I say about yelling like that when I’m driving? Anyway, how d’ye know it’s the right one?”
You pointed at the odometer. It was thirty miles higher than it had been forty-five minutes ago.
“Again,” he said in a tone that indicated he was really starting to get fed up with you, “how do you know it’s the right one?”
“Does it fucking matter? It’s a Circle K that’s thirty miles from where we were, we won’t die if we check it out and it’s not there.”
“Famous last words,” the Irishman muttered, but still he pulled a u-turn and guided the little Corolla towards the parking lot.
“Worst case scenario, she’s not here. We can still get snacks and stuff,” you said.
“Worst case scenario is that this is a trap somehow and we’re about to get killed.”
You rolled your eyes. “Always a pessimist.”
As Sweeney pulled the car up next to one of the gas pumps, you saw it. You knew that paint job and you knew that slight ding in the front bumper (if Sweeney had just listened to you, you wouldn’t have had to hit him with your car). The spell was right and the vision had been correct.
You let out a whoop and made to lunge out of the car, but Sweeney wrapped a hand around your bicep, arresting your movement.
“What the fuck?” you snapped. “Can we just—“
Something in his face made you fall short.
“What’s wrong?” you asked quietly, following his line of vision.
The guy that was in possession of your car was leaning against the side of it, a lit cigarette in his mouth and a wide brimmed hat was sitting at an angle on his head. He wore a long dark trench coat and he looked like he was waiting for someone.
“Why is he here?” Sweeney asked lowly, more to himself than you.
“Who is he?” you asked.
Sweeney shook his head. “Someone you don’t want to fuck with.”
You snorted. “Unless you can give me something more concrete to work with, I’m going to get my car back.”
Sweeney said nothing, but you felt his eyes on your back as you walked towards the man leaning against your car.
“Hey!” you said brightly as you approached him. “I think you might have my car? It got stolen a few days ago.”
The man looked up at you and you felt your stomach twist uncomfortably. His eyes were black pools that reflected no light and his lips twisted into an unpleasant smile. You instinctively took a step back as the cold fingers of fear began to wind their way through your chest.
“Yes, I believe I do. You’re one of Mr. Wednesday’s little errand boys aren’t you?” His accent was similar to Sweeney’s, except he formed his vowels a little differently.
You immediately played dumb. “I don’t know any Mr. Wednesday, man. I’ll pay you, but can I please have my car? It’s sentimental.”
“Interesting. You say you do not know any Mr. Wednesday, but I bought this car from the frost giants. What would they be doing with a ride like this?” His voice felt oily, like you could feel it dripping down your spine, and it made your shoulders tense. Your heart began to pick up as though you were a rabbit poised to run.
You feigned ignorance. “Frost giants?”
He nodded. “Nasty lot. Heard they cut you up something fierce,” he said, eyeing the bandage on your forehead and your blackened eye.
You edged backward. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
He shrugged and you tried not to let your growing uneasiness show. You didn’t like this guy’s energy and you were starting to wish that you’d listened to Sweeney.
Speak of the devil and he shall appear. The weird man in possession of your car took a step towards you and you took another step back, but this time you bumped into the massive, solid form of Mad Sweeney. You instantly felt the nervous tension in your chest lessen.
“I think you’d better hand over those keys,” he said coolly.
The stranger’s lip twitched. “Ah, Mad Sweeney,” he said calmly, his eyes never leaving yours. You couldn’t seem to look away. You were rooted to the spot as terror squeezed your lungs. “You know, your story really isn’t holding water. Especially now that…this has shown up with you. Not to mention that bandage on your face. How’d that happen?”
You said nothing and Sweeney twitched slightly so that his body was now halfway in front of you. It wasn’t a direct threat, but it was clear that he was putting himself between you and the man.
“I said, hand over the keys.” His voice was tight with something you’d never heard in him before. Fear? No, but it was close.
The man pouted. “This one never wants to have any fun.” He turned to you. “Listen taibhseach.* You may have your car, but I want something in return.”
You looked at him warily. You had no idea who this man was, but you’d been in this game long enough to know not to make deals if you didn’t have to.
He took your silence as a cue to continue. “I will return your keys in exchange for the item you were sent to fetch for Grimnir.”
You opened your mouth to respond, but Sweeney cut you off. “Counteroffer,” he said, “you give us the keys and we don’t give you shit. This was their car to begin with. Give us the keys and I won’t make a scene.”
The man rolled his eyes. “Again, no fun. Here,” he produced your keychain from thin air. He dropped it into your outstretched hand and leaned in to whisper into your ear. “You will be hearing from me soon. And your attack dog won’t be around to protect you.”
You blinked and he was gone.
You slid into the driver’s seat of your car and inhaled as you ran your hands over the steering wheel. You wanted to revel in the feeling of having her back, but the feeling of uneasiness and fear that that man had left in his wake was weighing on you.
You turned to Sweeney, an obvious question on the tip of your tongue, but he held up a hand.
“Just drive. We should’ve left as soon as we saw him.” His voice was tight and the rattled look on his face wasn’t doing anything to assuage your fear.
After about an hour or two, your eyes began to get heavy and you started looking for motel signs.
“Pull over, switch with me,” Sweeney said. His voice sounded almost unbearably loud after riding in silence.
“Sweeney, can we please just find a motel? I’m exhausted, I have to sleep.”
His heart twinged at the tiredness in your voice. He knew that you needed rest, and badly, but he wanted to put that Circle K as far in the rearview as possible.
“I know you’re tired darlin’, but we have to keep going at least for another few hours.”
You sighed, but didn’t fight him on it. He chewed his bottom lip. You always complained or argued with him over this sort of thing, so the fact that you gave in so quickly gave away how spent you really were.
You pulled over onto the shoulder and swapped with Sweeney. As you settled into your seats, he looked around the interior of the car.
“You said this was warded?”
You nodded. “Against basically everything.”
He blew a puff of air out of his nose. “Good. It’ll make it harder for that cunt to find us.”
“Who was he?” you asked as he pulled back onto the freeway.
“Someone very powerful. And, like I said, someone you don’t want to fuck with. He gave up your keys too easily, I don’t like it.”
You shrugged. “Fine. Keep your secrets. I’m gonna try to get some sleep, but wake me up when we get to a motel.”
You balled up your sweatshirt between your head and the car window and fell asleep almost immediately.
Sweeney took that opportunity to scan your sleeping face, the fear from earlier a stone in his stomach. Why was Fear Doirich looking for you? He had said he wanted whatever it was that you had been sent to retrieve for Wednesday, but that was a lie. At least, it was a partial one. The Dark Man was plotting something, Sweeney just knew it, and it left a bad taste in his mouth.
Sweeney knew he couldn’t do anything about it now, but he could at the very least do his damndest to make sure that you were protected.

dear tumblr ,,⋋(•◇•)⋌,,
thank you so much for all the support on my top surgery fundraiser, whether it's donating, reblogging or just staying patient with while i boost the link multiple times. which i am going to keep doing! it's no understatement that this is the single biggest positive thing that's happening in my life, and the time i need your help most. so i'm making my voice heard as much as i possibly can to spread the word, and i appreciate all your help with it. it makes me feel loved as a person and not as a bunch of posts on a dashboard, i've been getting pretty isolated because of mental health stuff so even the small connection we have from your act of goodwill is really meaningful to me
i've been ok, mostly putting in work on my masters degree, although some of the 'work' included having a massive breakdown from months of burnout, and i'm currently in the middle of trying to get an extension and rework a large part of my project. mostly this is due to the subject matter of my work having had a lot of loaded cultural and personal themes, which, when being forced to think about nonstop for two years, while also moving in with the family member who is the source of a large part of all the trauma of it, was just too much. taking a stance to axe the project in its current form was hard and made me feel like a quitter but now i feel relief and realize it was an act of self love as well
so i'm trying to recover from that and see a way forward to a project i would like doing, but it's hard when your circumstances have left you this depressed. i'm also trying to become more mindful of the way i use social media because when i'm anxious i fall very easily into the numbness sink of scrolling social media just to avoid thinking... i've stared a daily list of Ten Things That Happened That Day That Didn't Happen On The Internet, although i never get to ten, and i dont think even pre-internet leon would have gotten to ten, but it's good to aim high and take notice even of the little things. maybe to some people this comes naturally but i have to be very deliberate about it. i think this article sums up how im starting to feel about the internet rn
i've cut most personal spending down as much as possible to save up to my top surgery, so i have to find fun things to do that don't cost money. i'm trying to sew because my partner knows a lot about it and can teach me (i'm currently trying to engineer the perfect underwear, weird hobby but it's actually an amazing dysphoria-buster because most store bought underwear that fits my ass is so feminine, to be able to make a piece of something so intimate be so personal is, omg, an act, of, omg, self love). i've also sold off some things to help save for my top surgery and doctor visits, i'm trying to not get rid of anything i will really miss but it's also an enjoyable feeling to imagine the item disappearing as it becoming a permanent part of my history and of my sexy flat boy body (~o_o)~
if i end up having some free time outside of my masters degree, my current dream project is making pixel assets. i think with all the cases of my art getting stolen and used without permission it would actually be really cool to put something together specifically for public use. i miss kaoani and flower banners and stuff. i dont know if i can ever make something so saccharinely cute and tidy but if anything it's a nice space to visit
did you miss me coming to tumblr to make long winded posts about nothing? hopefully when twitter falls we will all be on here reading each others paragraphs, hopefully i'll have more going on in my life and can write even longer ones. here is a nice drawing, and a link to the fundraiser once again :)

I would like to request headcanons with Sun wukong, MK, Mei, Red son and Macaque with a s/o (platonic) who is clever, adventurous, loves solving mysteries and down to Earth.
I hope it's not too detailed. You can omit a few details if you'd like.
Aw no worries! My first platonic request as well! Apologies for the brief response as well! Ps: all of this happens after LBD’s defeat.
Who are you? Sherlock? (Macaque, MK, Mei, SWK and Red Son with a platonic!reader who likes solving mysteries)
Tumblr media
Macaque
You showed up at one of his shadow plays and after his show was over you asked to speak with him.
He was suspicious, of course he would be, but agreed to meet you outside anyway.
Turns out you were just a person who was investigating a missing person who was last seen at one of his shows.
He had asked if you were a detective of private investigator but you denied and said you just wanted to help out.
He was confused but intrigued. To put it simply, dude was bored and wanted to tag along with you.
Was legitimately shocked when you solved the case WAY before the police did.
He sends a shadow clone to check on you while your snooping around if he cant.
You fill him in about MK in exchange, tell him if he got involved on something he really shouldn’t have, stuff like that.
All in all your pretty fun to hang around. He likes listening to you ramble about a recent case and how you figured it out. The more complex the better.
Sometimes he would suggest a really dark motive or story for a disappearance and you would just stare at him. He wouldn’t understand whats wrong lol.
All in all, emo monkie boy is a nice to talk to while figuring out who performed a, admittedly impressive, bank heist.
Tumblr media
MK
You showed up at the noodle shop one day, frankly you were a nice bit of interest after LBD’s defeat.
Hilariously enough, when you went to the counter to order you ended up interrogating asking him a couple of questions about a stolen artifact, the thief had last been seen eating at the noodle shop before practically disappearing.
Pigsy kicked you out (ofc course) but MK felt a bit bad and met you outside under the excuse of cleaning up the front.
He found it so cool how smart you were! You always noticed little things he couldn’t. He loves how smart you are, you two balance eachother out.
He, like macaque, will accompany you while you go to see a potential lead just incase things get ugly.
Please explain whats going on once in awhile he will get so lost sometimes.
If you get really frustrated about a mystery of your’s he’ll try and cheer you up with a bowl of noodles and some advice.
Coincidentally, his advice led you to solving that mystery, he was really proud of himself after.
Tumblr media
Mei
She caught you snooping around her house, plain and simple. You were investigating the infamous ‘Monkie Kid’ and you figured you would start with the girl most publicly helping him.
She was surprisingly ok with it when she found you. She though it was cool and happily told you everything.
She was kinda confused when you looked a little disappointed after her info dump. You explained how you actually liked solving puzzles and mysteries.
She got real sad after that and bought you a butt ton of puzzles to apologise.
She would totally tell you riddles and stuff like that.
Also likes listening to your rants about a recent case, its like ASMR to her lol. Bestie could fall asleep to that.
She’ll drive you around the city to find things and stuff like that. She doesn’t mind too much because she likes to spend time with you.
If you need to go undercover she’ll POUNCE at the chance to play dress up with you.
Tumblr media
Red Son
Bumped into while on a walk through the city. You ended up in some trouble and Red just happened to pass by.
He helped you out and you thanked him profusely. Red kinda just rolled his eyes and walked off.
He met you again when he saw you again at a museum (dont ask why he was there) writing something down about another stolen artefact.
You noticed him and waved. He didn’t really know what to do and awkwardly waved back.
He did end up helping with the burglary, you two were the literal dream team. Your smarts, his smarts? Un-beat-a-ble!
Would brag about how you and him could take over the world if you two wanted to. You just laugh and ask if he would supply you with infinite sudoku.
You like hanging around Red Son aswell. He provides a fresh perspective on a lot of your cases.
Over all, angry fire prince is a wonderful partner in (solving) crime.
Tumblr media
Sun Wukong
(Sorry Swk fans I can’t think if a meet scenario)
Honestly? Thinks your a nerd at first. I mean why sit around and scrounge for clues all day when you could be out there busting up bad guys?!
After he sees you solve a puzzle in a death temple adventure in less than 5 minutes he admits he thinks your smarts are cool.
Usually watches over you while your walking around a shady part of the city looking for clues.
You taught him how to do a lot of puzzles. Rubiks cubes, sudoku, wordles etc.
No listen, you two are the TRUE dream teams, you being the brains him being the awesomely handsome brawn. His words not mine.
Just imagine for a minute, remember that death temple I referred to earlier? Yeah imagine you trying to figure out a super complex puzzle with Swk trying to stop the walls from crushing you two. PEAK bonding experience I tell you.
He respects your skills, really! But he wont say it out loud. Hes too prideful.

thought I might add a little to a question unanswered by the video essay: the why?
not as an excuse, not a full explanation either because there's still the matter of the Telos money.
but why does a man live, breath and eat for his channel/career without the passion for researching and learning?
I can tell you that he truly *did* devote his entire time and energy to producing videos and engaging with the commentariat as a full time job, though if the video scripts were copy paste. He probably feels like he's devoted his entire soul for years into this project and the copy paste was "just" to keep up with the youtube once a week upload demands.
IMHO, what we have is a bloke with crippling anxiety, loneliness and body dysmorphia with a pathological fear of rejection who attempted to build an online queer community that wouldn't ever let him down. As far i can can tell he barely left the house, didn't date and i started to wonder if he really had moved when he wasn't visiting any of Toronto's very gay friendly places or even some of the museums and libraries, wasn't making any local connexions even when people reached out. Instead, he spent his weekends chatting online (often on livestream) about gay media, business, youtube and film making.
I think he could have built that safe haven if he'd kept the day job, produced a fully credited video once a month which was in the format of let's watch this documentary, let's read this book, let's dive into a topic and read the various articles followed by his livestream chats. There is clearly an audience eager for it.
and that's where it gets uncomfortable, right? the lines blur between shyness + not wanting to be hurt vs not collaborating and not being part of other established groups. Canada not only has multiple gay filmmaking scenes, advocacy groups and even a whole bunch of Canadian queer youtubers. They don't have to all get along, because there's more than just the Canada based breadtube, there are a lot of smaller channels that'd love the opportunity to network.
Anyway, it was during a live that i bought up some local Canadian networking opportunity, he backed off quite hard in a way that felt like a little bit more than anxiety about the fierce competition that goes on for such stuff. It felt vaguely like Little Britain's "The Only Gay in the Village" but mostly I was reminded of folks in my life who decided to forge their own paths in charity work and activism, specifically the very dodgy intersection between missionary work and charity and charities that are about the joy of bringing fish to the hungry instead of helping the locals who know how to fish get the new motor for their boat. It's actually a really complex and nuanced conversation where sometimes the least colonialist choice is to hold your nose and work with the local catholic church - yeah I know, that level of complicated, here's some reading before I start on the importance of translating books to creoles being a better investment than teaching english to match an english curriculum and how relief work is often predatory business opportunities and how secularism is a tightrope balancing act and don't get me started.
It is possible to walk and chew gum and listen to music at the same time. We can talk about how plagiarism is bad, how the algorithm rewards it, how this guy is probably getting more ire than the right wing grifters also brought up, why left tube maybe feels a lil intimidating, why people build their own little digital or offline communes, how being an educator and being a thought leader get smooshed together in an attention economy that wants to create influencers with a parasocial engagement with folks that want personal guidance, sometimes stolen valour/plagiarism/fake cancer is for power and clout and sometimes it's a maladaptive response to a desperate loneliness I hope I never fully comprehend.

Malina and or Kanej HCs pleaseeeeee
My boos I miss them all ty <333
Kanej Headcanons
I'll do Kanej because despite having read the books, I'm honestly not really familiar with Mal's character and therefore not likely to write something accurate.
Also sorry not sorry this is half angst because it's Kanej
Tumblr media
First of all, they both think the other deserves someone better/more suited to them;
Inej knows that Kaz needs someone who'd be willing to be with him despite not being able to touch. He needs someone with patience and who wouldn't mind waiting forever for him.
On the other side, Kaz thinks Inej OVERALL deserves someone better than him, someone who would be able to hold her, comfort her, kiss her...
Despite that, if Inej ever gets approached romantically by another man, Kaz will beat him up later, threaten the dude's mother, then frame him for a murder Kaz committed and get him sent to Hellgate, far far away from Inej
Inej doesn't ever worry or get jealous over Kaz speaking to other girls because she knows he wouldn't be interested in a million years
Ok so we all remember when Inej said “I will have you without armor, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all.” and Kaz didn't budge, basically a silent painful rejection
Inej said that because she 99.99% knew that Kaz wouldn't instantly take off his "armor" for her
She WANTED him to "reject" her because her goal was to go hunt slavers, far far away from Kaz
Sure, they could send letters, but they could never be genuine in the letters lest someone intercepts them and finds out Kaz's weakness
As long as there wasn't an unspoken "rejection" between them, Inej wouldn't feel completely free to leave after the whole Ice court heist and all
Obviously she will still love him, but she needed a way to let go of that attachment enough to go and follow her dreams
Inej thinks about Kaz every single day since she left him
She's always reminded of him in every single thing she does or thinks;
"That's exactly what Kaz would say/do"
Inej goes to visit Kaz in Ketterdam whenever she passes by with her ship
Whenever she leaves again, Kaz sends her off with a pair of gloves or a coat of his
After the events in Rule of Wolves, when Zoya tasks Kaz with finding the heart of St. Feliks (I think that's the name?), Inej was the first person he asked for intel. Since she travels around so much she surely heard something
Of course, when he's going outside of Ketterdam for jobs or other stuff, Inej is the one who takes him on her ship. He wouldn't trust anyone else
Inej once said a few affectionate words in Suli to him and Kaz immediately searched through all of his contacts for someone to translate it for him
Inej once stole a wealthy slaver's fancy watch and brought it back to Kaz;
Not because Kaz needed yet another one but more as a symbol that she was still what Kaz made her.
When Kaz bought her the ship, he made the captain's room look like a better version of her room at the Slat so that she would always have a reminder of him and the Crows
Because her "magic slippers" got burnt while scaling the incinerator in SoC, Kaz got her a nice pair of more practical boots and commissioned yet another Fabrikator to modify the soles and make them excellent for climbing
Kaz made Wylan work on cannon blueprints until they were perfect and had them installed
He basically went all out with that ship
Inej got a little tattoo that said "the Crow" with "The Wraith" under it on her back despite her issue with branding
She didn't get it as a label, she got it as a reminder of who she was
"the Wraith" was everything the Menagerie's Suli lynx wasn't. For Inej, the tattoo was a symbol of her strength
Kaz didn't know
He found that out when one day, she came to visit him and was wearing a backless top;
He'd gotten (stolen) a necklace for her and she asked him to put it on for her;
At first Kaz was really hesitant but he *GASP* took off his gloves, and gently brushed her hair out of the way and that's when he saw the little tattoo
This man FROZE and didn't even realize his UNGLOVED index finger was tracing her bare skin along the lines of the tattoo
When he realized it he quickly stopped and hurriedly clasped the necklace around her neck
He still isn't over his touch aversion, but he's doing better. He still quickly stepped back though, putting some distance in between them
He noticed the faintest flush on Inej's cheeks and that's how he knew she still loved him, he felt relief in knowing so
These days, amongst Kaz's men, the Wraith is a myth. They don't know that Inej is gone, they think she's always there in the shadows, spying and reporting back to Kaz
Only the OGs know the truth
To Kaz, this was a way of forever having a piece of her within the gang
I hope these are to your liking!!! It's hard to write Kanej without angst

Given how “unique” a Miku concert would be I’m surprised Crypton themselves didn’t send some team members or equipment personally to make sure things are set up right bc other than some performers that might hide their face/wear disguises idk how many usual concert locations have something prepped for “holo” projections compared to Japan and their Vtuber boom (although I’d rather buy a plushie from a booth but hopefully at least the theatres would have good sound quality)
Sucks for any workers scrambling and getting hate/hope it doesn’t affect the sales of any other indie ppl performing their concerts
The weird thing is it worked before. I went to miku Expo 2018 in cologne and 2020 in Berlin. Both times it was an actual hologram concert with the same band as magical Mirai. Neither of these two locations had a concert like this before, I'm pretty sure. All of the equipment must've been toured around with thew Miku Expo crew. Going against advertising and expectations (basically all of these concerts, and like all of them in recent years were holographic) without notifying buyers beforehand and also not even afterwards when people keep asking is, to put it lightly, customer unfriendly at best and a scam at worst.
I arrived a bit late in 2018 since I only had standard so I don't know how it was there, but in 2020 people went around giving out free stickers and badges, or general stuff they got from other miku events. One of them seemed to be a huge meiko fan so when she gifted me something I gave her the meiko badge I got from the random gacha button bags. Stuff like that really made it feel like a community coming together, so reading that giving out badges, stickers, etc. wasn't allowed this year, even for people who specifically got an okay from cfm and also got their stuff stolen from is surreal.
I had vip in 2020 and as far as I know everyone got their vip merchandise, which doesn't seem to be the case this year, which makes no sense because you would know how many people at this location have the vip ticket. Another thing I read is that vip ticket holders were supposed to be let in earlier for merchandise and the concert hall but it didn't happen, which also worked flawlessly before in my experience.
Merchandise being not enough for everyone is sadly not new, I was in line for it in 2018 and when I was three people away the store people shouted they were all sold out, which was very much a bummer but I thankfully bought the penlight and t-shirt beforehand in the online store so it wasn't too bad for me and as I said I was quite late to the so definitely in the latter half of the people that got in. Still should've been more but I would chalk it up to being the first concert in Europe and them not having expected such a huge crowd maybe. How this is still the case 6 years later and in America where there were concerts way before 2018 is beyond me.
I don't know if this is because of crunchyroll (it probably is tho) but I can't say cfm is innocent either since they partnered with them and it's their job to ensure everything is up to standard, which clearly didn't happen.
For me, I was really happy to hear there was going to be a Europe one again, especially since I really loved it, it is such a magical experience so the last year's being online only made me super sad since it isn't the same in the slightest, but seeing it's also partnered with crunchyroll I decided against it. It's because I loved it so much that it really saddens me to see what is currently going on (also probably why I wrote so much, very sorry). Miku Expo is one of the best, magical and insane events you can go to as a vocaloid/piaproloid fan and I wish for all fans, people who've been in the Fandom longer and already have been to Miku Expo, and newer fans that didn't have the chance yet, to have that same experience but this is not it. This being someone's first miku expo experience is just a sad thing to think about considering what a massive downgrade the experience is. I hope there will be official statements soon and that the people who are currently experiencing it still have a good time.
