Oh, How I Love Thee
Tumblr media
Fandom: Spider-Man 2 (PS5)
Summary: A series of cute moments between Harry Osborn and reader based on Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem How Do I Love Thee?
Word Count: 3061
Pairing: Harry Osborn x reader (romantic)
Trigger Warning(s): Cursing, 3rd to last scene is reader panicking
A/n: I don't remember the last time I wrote a fic, but I loved the new Spiderman 2 on ps5 and I'm obsessed with/gay for Harry Osborn. Also apologies: English isn't my first language. Also please give feedback -- I have quite a few more of these in my drafts that I'll only publish if these are well-received!
How do I love thee?
Planks, nails, screws, and metal bars were strewn haphazardly across the floor of the apartment you shared with Harry. His eyebrows were furrowed the way they always do when he's determined to solve something. You'd long ago surrendered the instructions to him after his persistent insistence that he could figure it out. Instead, you simply leaned against him as you began organized the mess of a dresser you had attempted to assemble.
"Okay, how the fuck am I supposed to know with one of these screws is the 40 millimeter one?" he complained.
You adjusted yourself so that you were lounging more comfortably next to him with your chin on his shoulder while he wrapped an arm around your waist. “If I had to guess,” you started, “I’d probably read what’s on the top of each screw.”
He scoffed playfully. “Thanks, Captain Obvious.”
You gestured for him to give you the instructions, which he reluctantly did. "It says we need to put the x12 screws into the L2 bar first. Then we- oh for fuck's sake, why does this manual have pictures only? We're trying to build a coffee table, not a fucking time machine."
"Let's just try using the power drill on these," Harry suggested. "There's probably tons of extra parts in here that we can use if we mess up."
"Okay, Brunel. I thought you were a biochem major."
"Hey," he laughed. "Let a man dream. Can you hold this piece up?"
You obliged, and Harry picked up the nearest 40 mm-looking screw and drove it into the wooden bar at an angle to connect it to the bottom of the coffee table. You gave each other a look. It didn't seem right, but it did what it was supposed to.
"Trust the process?" you suggested. "I'm not going to try and read that chicken scratch again."
Harry shrugged. "Fair enough. As long as it stands up, right?"
The two of you repeated the process for the other four legs and the rack under the table. Finally, you propped it up to stand. It was a horrible mess, slanted and barely standing up. Truly, it looked more like a modern sculpture than a piece of furniture.
After a moment of silence, Harry said, "I'm gonna order something pre-made and get us takeout."
"Yeah," you sighed. "That's probably for the best."
Let me count the ways.
"I claim Yoshi," Harry declared as he selected the character for the round.
"Basic," you jabbed back. "My main's Toad, anyway. Rainbow Road?"
"Obviously."
The rain pattered against the windows outside. It was a perfect night to stay in.
As soon as the countdown finished, Harry sent a green shell your way and curved around you.
"Cheater," you jabbed as you spammed your controller to get back up.
"Hate the game, not the player," he bantered. "Oh, fuck you, Peach."
"How funny would it be if the bots won over us?"
"Not gonna happen," Harry replied. He threw a banana at your mini-kart and, by pure luck, managed not to crash into you.
On Harry's side of the split screen, it showed that he was on his final lap, with you a decent distance behind him. With the finish line in sight, you pulled the last trick in your sleeve. You grabbed Harry's chin and pulled him in for a passionate kiss, making him entirely lose focus. By the time you two pulled away, you were out of breath, and your side of the TV read 1st Place.
"Now who's cheating?" Although he was trying to scold you, the way he was catching his breath took away from it.
"Oh, please," you remarked. "You didn't mind."
Harry dropped his controller and, cupping your face with one hand and pulling your waist towards him with the other, he mumbled before kissing you, "Damn right I didn't.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach.
Your phone buzzed, stirring you from your sleep. Rubbing some sleep from your eyes, you fumbled around for it, barely reading 7:23AM off of it. You tossed it over your shoulder and rolled over, hardly getting anywhere before Harry pulled you back into him.
He pressed a soft kiss to your neck and nuzzled into you. "G'morning, babe."
"Morning," you yawned. Your eyes adjusted to the morning light and you tried to massage some warmth back into your hands. A flock of pigeons brushed by your window, tracking in a breeze that brought shivers to your spine. You stirred again, trying to get up this time.
Harry tried and failed to grab for your hand. "Where are you going?"
You smiled to yourself. Harry's morning voice never got old. "I'm just closing the window. It's freezing in here."
He propped himself up on his elbow and commented, "Well, word around town is that I make a pretty good personal heater."
You hummed. "I'll take that into consideration." You sat down on his side of the bed and brushed some wild stray hairs out of his face. "But seriously, just because we have the day off, that doesn't mean we should spend all day in bed. I can make us hot chocolate the way you like it, and we can sit out in the park, maybe try to find something good in Midtown?"
"That sounds great, baby." Harry leaned into your touch. "After a quick nap."
You scoffed as he grabbed your waist to pull you on top of him. "Nothing's quick with you," you remarked.
Your boyfriend just smirked at you. "Part of why you love me." You settled down onto him, resting your head on his chest and intertwining your legs. "Just... five more minutes, babe," he implored you.
"Five more minutes," you agreed, already drifting back off to sleep.
When feeling out of sight for the ends of being and ideal grace.
The movie you had been watching had run its course, and you were beyond tired. You resigned yourself to quickly run through your skincare routine and find Harry so that the two of you could go to sleep.
You finished rinsing the cleanser off of your face and stretched with such force that you got dizzy. Shaking this feeling off, you called for your boyfriend.
"In the kitchen!" he called back. And he was there, but sheltered behind the kitchen island on the floor with his laptop and countless papers strewn around him. The fans in his computer sounded like a helicopter about to take off. "I'm just finishing these last few emails," he yawned. "Then I've got to review the results of bee drones, verify the statistics Dr. Loughran gathered on the organ reproduction project, and then I gotta check if they repaired the particle accelerator yet and-"
You sat yourself down next to him and gently shut his laptop, kissing his temple. "Why don't we deal with this tomorrow?"
Harry sighed and leaned on your shoulder. "I've been putting this off for a while. I'm so close to finishing, just like 30 more minutes."
You ran your fingers through his hair and felt him fighting to stay conscious. "You and I both know that's a lie, babe. The weight of the world doesn't rest on your shoulders. Take a break. The work will be there tomorrow."
"But-"
"What did May always say?"
Harry sighed again, but relented and put his head in your lap. "You help someone, you help everyone."
You arranged the papers around you into a pile and grabbed a cushion from one of the kitchen island's stools to put behind your back. "Let the person you help today be you, okay?"
But Harry was already fast asleep.
I love thee to the level of every day's most quiet need.
"Do you ever wonder what would happen if you used conditioner before shampoo?"
"Not really," you conceded as you took another bite of your ice cream from your place on top of the dryer.
Harry sat on the floor organizing the dark, white, and delicate clothes into piles. "I mean, it's probably better for your hair, no? Like, the whole purpose of conditioner is to break down unwanted particles and moisturize your hair. If anything, it's probably better to do it that way."
"Maybe," you agreed as you hopped down and put the first load in the wash. "But wouldn't that be the same as using fabric softener before detergent?"
"Nope. Fabric softener just coats your clothes in microplastics. It's a long-term way of damaging the bonds between the atoms for temporary comfort. Technically, we should be using something like vinegar instead."
"I'm not putting vinegar on my clothes," you objected.
"Maybe you need to be more open-minded," he teased.
"Maybe you need to keep your head in the game," you teased back, throwing his dirty T-shirt at him. You yelped when he threw a sock your way. "Oh, I'll get you back for that."
"I'd like to see you try," Harry challenged.
By sun and candle-light.
Harry raced past you in the hallway, tugging on a shoe while awkwardly hopping. You sipped your tea from the kitchen island as you stared down the morning crossword.
"Running late?" you asked as he grabbed an apple and tossed it into his bag.
"Yeah," he replied, out of breath as he roughly kissed your cheek and gave you a squeeze before rushing towards the door. "Pete's gonna have to deal with the donors on his own if I don't get there on time. Wish me luck."
"Good luck." You filled out the five boxes for 23-across whose clue read 'Oscar-winner Streep.' "I love you."
"I love you, too," he called as he shut the door. Almost immediately, he opened the door again. "Forgot my keys!"
"They're on top of your nightstand," you called as you heard him tearing your room apart. The jingle of the keys confirmed that he got them, and he bounded over to you again.
"I love you," he breathed, kissing your cheek. "You're the best."
"I know," you chuckled. You leaned around the corner to watch him leave for the second time before returning to your morning routine. You had just finished eating your breakfast when Harry came running in again.
"Missed me already?" you joked.
"Forgot my phone," he explained, grabbing it from beside you. He kissed your cheek again. "But that, too."
"Love you!" you called as he fumbled with the doorknob and you walked to the living room. "Kick ass today."
He gave you a charming wink then slipped out the door.
You turned on the TV and let a talk show play in the background as you cursed at your crossword. This time, it took Harry about 6 more minutes to realize he had yet again forgotten something important. He barged in for the third and last time, profusely apologizing.
"You wouldn't happen to know a five-letter port city of Japan, would you?" you asked without looking up.
"Try Osaka?" Harry filtered through the pockets of his coats in the laundry room until he finally found his wallet.
"That fits."
Harry returned from the laundry room and leaned down, pressing three kisses to your lips. "Okay, I'm leaving for real now. I love you."
"I love you, too, babe. Show 'em how it's done."
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
"Oh my God, you should've seen the look on Hasan's face when Vijay showed up. Like, I get it, you dated way back in the day, but showing up in all white? So then MJ went to go pull the wine trick on him while I tried to distract Hasan so that he wouldn't notice anything was going on, but of course the universe wasn't satisfied." You huffed and caught your breath in the middle of pacing back and forth in the living room. "You know what happened after that?"
Harry, from his comfortable corner in the couch covered his mouth to hide his amusement. "Jess said something?" he guessed.
"Jess opened her fucking mouth," you continued. "And she was drunk off her ass because she always is, and she comes up to Hasan on his fucking wedding day and starts shouting about Vijay coming over. So at this point, Song is already asking Hasan 'Have you been cheating on me? Is that what this is?' And obviously Hasan would never do that but now Song's upset so the two of them go to argue in the backroom while Keith escorts Vijay out and MJ and I have to babysit Jess for the rest of the evening." You paused and took a sip of your mocktail. "It was literal hell."
At this point, you realize the smile taking over Harry's face. "What?"
He shook his head as he surveyed you in admiration. "You're hot when you're angry."
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
"Do I look good?" Harry asked nervously as he adjusted his tie.
You brushed his mess of curls away from his forehead. "You look perfect. You are perfect."
"I really need this interview to go well," he said, biting his lips. "Whatever this guy publishes is gonna be severely edited by Jonah, and if even half of what MJ said was warning enough, we're screwed."
"You're going to be fine," you assured him. When that didn't seem to work, you grabbed him by his shoulders and said, "Your mom would be so proud of you. Don't worry about what you can't control."
Harry took in a deep breath, and, hugging you before going into the meeting room, whispered, "Let's heal the world."
I love thee with the passion put to use in my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
"Good morning," chirped the barista as you walked in to the small café. "What can I get started for you?"
"Just a small pumpkin latte, please," you replied. You shivered and wrapped your scarf tighter around you.
"Anything else I can get for you? Maybe my number?"
"No, thanks -- that'll be all," you assured her, glancing behind you to look for Harry.
You jumped when he touched your arm. "I've got this one, baby," he winked and offered his card. The barista's eyes widened in realization, and she silently finished the transaction. One of her coworkers finished off the order and handed it to you on the other end of the kiosk.
You unlocked your car with your keys and laughed when Harry rushed to open the door for you.
"What's so funny?"
"You're jealous, aren't you," you jested.
Harry mocked offense as he got into the car on the other side. "I haven't the slightest idea what you're referring to, your majesty."
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose with my lost saints.
Harry crossed your arms on your chest and hugged you from behind to give you that comfort of pressure. "Breathe, babe. It's gonna be okay. This feeling will go away."
Your breathing was erratic, your face tingled, and you felt so dizzy you might pass out. "I could've lost you," you managed to get out between gasps. "So much could've gone wrong."
"I know," he said in a low voice. "I know. But everything's alright. Pete and Miles have a handle on things, they always do. That thing's gone. I'm okay. Everything's gonna be okay."
You rested your forehead on your knees, but Harry didn't let go of you. "I tried to get through to you but that thing just kept on speaking to me, and Dr. Connors said you were too far gone and then MJ told me what happened at the Foundation- fuck's sake you were in a coma for three weeks and you just show up-"
Harry crawled in front of you and gently took your face in his hands. "It was scary for me too, love. I thought it was going to hurt you and-" He took in a deep breath. "The worst is behind us, okay? Let's focus on that."
You nodded and tried to slow your breathing. After a moment: "None of that was your fault, you know? It wasn't you doing it."
"I know." He rested his forehead against yours and closed his eyes with a shaky breath. "I know."
I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears, of all my life;
"Okay, what do you think of this option?" You came out from the hallway with a new outfit and gave him a spin.
"Gorgeous," he breathed. "You look like an angel."
You sat down next to him on your bed. "Babe, I love you, but if all you do is flatter me, I'm not going to know what to wear to the gala."
Harry traced his fingers over the folds of your sides as you fiddled with the invitation in your hands. "Not my fault that my partner's hot."
"But it will be your fault if we're late," you retorted. "This one, the dark blue one, or the black one?"
He hummed. "This one," he replied with a wink. "It'll be easier to take off later."
He got up to leave the room, but you grabbed him by the tie, saying an inch away from his lips, "We'll see about that, handsome." And with that, you strutted away.
And, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.
You moved the needle onto the vinyl, letting the smooth jazz of Thelonious Monk fill the room. You waltzed over to Harry, and, wrapping one arm around his waist and grabbing his other hand, you swayed to the beat.
"C'mon, loverboy," you taunted him. "Show me some rhythm."
"I'm trying," he laughed, shuffling his feet.
"Baby, a little less Electric Slide, a little more moving those hips."
"Why don't you lead me instead?"
You spun in his arms and put your dominant leg between his legs and hummed as you swayed in a circle. Harry put an arm over your shoulder and started singing along.
"Glee Club paying off," you joked.
He bumped your nose. "Very funny."
You spun Harry as the music signalled that it was near its end.
"Have I ever told you that I love you?" Harry asked as he caught his balance.
You dipped him with the flourish of the music. "More than I can count."

Hi there! I was wondering if you have any military AUs? Like set in an army camp, for instance?
Signing up to join the army right after high school graduation may seem like something more jock-y, but for Characters A, B, C, D, & E, it was more of a continuation of an alternative extracurricular activity. The group decided that in order to continue their DnD campaign which just began a new chapter in the middle of a war, they needed some real material to base the new events on. Sure, joining the ACTUAL army may have been taking it a little too far, but we all have our passions, right?
“After a biochemical warfare-based virus wiped out the more mature half of the population, members of the army were quickly promoted to higher positions to fill in the gaps of command. It goes without saying that those who were rapidly promoted were a bit out of their depth. Here at Mordrake Base, we train such individuals intensively to completely transform them, all the way from privates to generals in a matter of months. If you think that’s impossible, well...you clearly don’t know the half of it." AU
When Characters A, B, & C are pulled from their beds in the middle of the night, they assumed it was for an additional latrine duty or an early morning ten mile ruck. Their captain, however, was nowhere to be seen, and the number of generals, high-ranking officers, and guards standing outside their dormitory didn’t exactly spell out “this is gonna be fun.” The trio are pulled into a windowless room and a very serious man stepped inside, tapped his clipboard, and looked up at them from under his horn-rimmed glasses: “any of you mind explainin' why you three are 100% physically identical to three enemy prisoners of war being held in this camp?”
“Some of the guys like going into the nearby town on weekend passes to drink and see hot women, but we don’t really get that. Most of our time is honestly spent refilling our supply of Nik-L-Nips and comic books. Those guys heard about our little tradition and decided to come with after they realized their usual places were closed on that Sunday, but I think they were expecting something a little different among the ‘nipples and hentai’ variety.” AU
Lifting up the spirits of new recruits can be a bit difficult, but one specific boot camp base has a tradition they’re keeping, and they have no plans to stop now. At the end of the first week post-recruitment, leaders of the base hold a game of “Murder in the Dark,” a psuedo-hide and seek game where “killers” take out their friends and everyone has to try and guess who committed the act before everyone falls victim. This has always been a great bonding experience for privates, but leaders of this camp become a bit concerned as the game progresses...in comparison to previous years, this one seems a bit too real.
“Everyone hates it when they’re forced into getting canteen duty, but that job got about a thousand times harder last month when the entire camp was placed on a vegan diet after a study was released that said it would ‘increase their potential on the field.’ Well, believe us when we say that it definitely made them a bit more MURDEROUS, but only towards the CHEFS, so THANKS FOR THAT.” AU
STEM-focused military bases are a bit more difficult to come by, especially ones that experiment on new recruits, but that’s exactly what you’d find upon arriving at Ravenpoint Base. There, tests are being performed with the purpose of discovering what traits the ideal soldier would possess and whether or not those traits can be taught, imbued, or trained. The end of a very long study had a surprising but undeniable result: the final algorithm states that the ideal soldier isn’t a physically-superior specimen, but an individual with a high IQ and a life-threatening illness.
“Did you feed Reggie?? Dude, he’s going nuts in the barracks -- he chewed through his box with his little squirrel teeth and is on a gaddam RAMPAGE in there -- WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WAS MY TURN, I TOLD WILSON TO DO IT. And Wilson...oh no. Wilson told Drake to do it. We. Are. So. Screwed.” AU

I think I'm getting better guys. Both mentally and physically. It's a weird feeling for someone who was raised with that strange mindset of "sudden poverty", let's call it that. Be thankful to walk the earth and never complain, you know the gist. I'm glad things can change.
I'm still revisiting biochem, which isn't really exciting, but some things just need to be done. For me biochem is one of those subjects that I can't help but hate and love with the same passion. I never have the right attention to follow along with the metaphysics of it, but the mechanisms of life control fascinate me every time. Bittersweet.

dishonesty
i feel like ive been dishonest with myself
i remember when i would pour my thoughts on these very same text box posts as a way to vent and to release my ramblings into the abyss that is already saturated with unimportant thoughts and people who feel like their words hold more weight than other's.
ive done myself a disservice -- quelling things that bother me or give me a lot of mental turmoil with pacifying myself by being a pushover and disguising that as the "grounding techniques" that modern day psychology created but truly i find it quite infantalizing. i think i can process feelings a lot more swiftly with just not giving a damn. but like, in a delicate way. like my delusion triumphs over the
i do not hold a lot of anger, but i do hold a lot of sadness, yearning, longing, and nostalgia:
i dont think i can look at the hudson river without reminding me of what it symbolized to me before. this will be for another story.
i dont think i can throw away with the old tumblr blogs because it will always mean something to me, something to laugh at, something to remember who i was before.
i look at those pictures of me -- oh god i looked so young. but somehow, i feel like im younger now. im not rushing to be where i am, and every moment i enjoy how new everything feels even if it was not new before. im cherishing. im taking my time. it's past cathartic. or maybe im always in a state of carthasis -- i dont know what is going on in my head biochemically.
i picture the activation of my brain's lobes being quite mellow, despite how i continuously fight to be the smartest person in the room. it has never worked out. i always pale in comparison by several hundred shades of gray to the brightest bulb. but i think i characterize myself with the primal fire of passion and heart. that is how i keep my light bright, even when everybody else has a much more sophisticated manner.
i think i mastered the art of the loudest person in the room being the smartest. i feel like i do have a lot of wit, charm, charisma. i definitely do not think it is enough to navigate around this world. i know im not smart, i wish i was lot more brilliant and i know that people have their own strengths. but quite simply put, the intelligent ones will always have a mark in history. the exceptional ones. i have yet to make the mark that i would like.
i think it may be pompous of me to reject compliments even if they are held in high regard by my peers. something about it just feels empty, im not satisfied.
i used to hate that i was not a sex symbol -- until i became a prize for several individuals. i used to hate that i was not at least a little bit intelligent -- until i felt that new england "academics" simply did not amaze me with their supposed wit and intelligence. they held their very own delusions, which i can respect, but not when their desires were to have my lips against theirs or my head between their legs or whatever kink they may have had.
but i think i want to understand what my own intelligence is. i like to think that i am socially intelligent, yet i sometimes feel like i am not engaged. i feel like my wit is guarded; scripted from what gets the best reaction out of people. perhaps that is where my intelligence lies. where laughs start. i am not a funny person but i like to make people smile and laugh. it makes me feel good, not that i deserve to know that people feel good around me. otherwise, it becomes self serving!
i think everytime i try to compliment myself, i find myself unsure of why these people feel like they want to be around me. is it for an act? are they trying to impress me?
i also think that it is quite narcissistic of me to believe that i am so different and unique from the cast of characters that i call my friends/acquaintances that i require a separate check list to meet the criteria of deserving their companionship.

twst characters and their college majors
Tumblr media
instead of a shower thought thing, this was a refilling-my-cup-with-water thought. wouldn’t it be fun to think about twisted wonderland characters and their college majors lmao. these are just my opinions! feel free to add anything and what other majors you think fit with the characters! for reference, i am in college. i’m a literature major. also riddle’s ssr card is so pretty!
NRC STAFF
dire crowley
unknown. no one knows. everyone suspects it’s something in education but the truth is, no one knows. his degree isn’t just hanging around his office surprisingly. everyone has a variety of guesses. crowley was most likely undecided for a majority of college and then chose a random major, let’s be real.
ashton vargas
sports medicine then went into education. definitely took care of plenty of sports teams before becoming a teacher.
mozus trein
literature. specifically, lit theory. he screams lit theory professor to me and it would be interesting how he teaches. probably more discussion based classes. but definitely a literature teacher who specializes in lit theory. probably add in a history minor too.
divus crewel
biochemistry. i know, i know. crewel is definitely more aligned with chemistry since alchemy can arguably translate to chemistry in our world. but i can see him being a biochem major.
sam
definitely some sort of cultural studies major. probably add a language minor and a business minor too. he’s thankfully not a business major and ultimately turned to business in the long run.
DIASOMNIA
malleus draconia
creative writing. now hear me out...it’s the vibes. sensitive artist who’s a loner and spends a lot of his time with his headphones in, writing. carries a notebook everywhere to write down inspiration. particularly really good with short stories and poetry. leads workshop. is the editor-in-chief for the school’s literature magazine.
lilia vanrouge
classics. he’s into the classics. he’s old. and he’s really diligent with his readings. is ahead of everyone and offers the most insightful knowledge and interpretation of the reading. would definitely be the cool ta everyone goes to. if he was a professor, he’d be a very chill one with some interesting stories.
silver
history and linguistics. double majoring because he’s simply built different. has a passion for both. really wants to make a con lang because he thought it would be fun. likes world history and was probably that history kid you remember from middle school. was tempted to go into the military but didn’t.
sebek zigvolt
architecture. i have no explanation as to why but he feels like an architecture major. really good at drawing for obvious reasons and also VERY good at math. everyone goes to sebek for math tips. leans towards interior architecture. i hate to say his designs would be minimalistic but it would be. hopefully someone introduces this man to color.
HEARTSLABYUL
riddle rosehearts
his mother absolutely forced him to go into pre-med. she had the whole thing planned out for riddle. bio major on the pre-med track. but riddle doesn’t like pre-med (plus organic chemistry completely demolished even him). eventually he leaves the pre-med track to pursue something else. probably goes to culinary school instead. really bad at cooking but becomes really good due to his discipline. probably becomes a pastry chef.
trey clover
culinary arts. there is no debate about this one. he would be really good at it too and would sharpen his skills with professional ones. probably a first generation college student too. leans towards pastries because he grew up learning how to work with pastries.
cater diamond
not in college. moved out somewhere to pursue a career on youtube and vlogging. he’s definitely an influencer and why would he need college when he already makes a living that gets him further than college could ever? he definitely has a tik tok. lifestyle vlogger, fashion hauls, dabbles in artistic makeup. has stated he would be in fine arts if he was in college. very talented and particular with painting.
ace trappola
english on a pre-law track. this man is a pre-law major. he likes arguing with people and would certainly be an interesting lawyer. he wouldn’t take anything seriously and probably doesn’t actually do his readings. he’s just really good at bullshitting and pointing to a random quote. probably wants to go into civil law. divorce law is a no no for him.
deuce spade
art history major. i don’t know how to entirely explain it but he definitely gives off a little bit of an art hoe vibe. probably really good at bullshitting his art history essays. would like to go into recreational work instead of museums and curation. has a specific interest in italian renaissance.
POMEFIORE
vil schoenheit
chemistry major with a literature minor (concentration in creative writing). he’s perfectly balanced with stem and humanities. got the beauty and the brains. believes it is necessary to be really well rounded. honestly his writing is really really good and everyone wonders why he’s a chem major when he could easily be a creative writing major. but also he’s really good at chemistry. probably does a lot of lab work and wants to work for a cosmetics company. most likely is an influencer on the side.
rook hunt
psychology major. specifically he’s interested in behavioral psychology. definitely has participated in multiple studies and wants to do his own research. probably becomes a ta for undergrad in grad school. really likes people watching simply because it adds to his experience as a behavioral psychology student.
epel felmier
agricultural studies. takes a lot of biology and chemistry classes in order to supplement his major in agricultural studies. first gen college student. got a full ride to the school so he only has to pay for room and board. really smart, probably got a really high score on his standardized test. can’t write for shit though.
SAVANACLAW
leona kingscholar
was an international relations major. probably in student government at one point and an ra. but after a year in college, he decided to take a gap year. speaks three languages fluently and took language courses. feel like his area of concentration would be europe but i can see him not knowing where he would want to go.
ruggie bucchi
economics major. can’t explain it but he feels like an economics major. probably talks about the stock market often and probably will become an accountant so he can play with other people’s money. is really good at stealing food, silverware, and dishes from the dining hall. the friend who knows how to budget and not waste anything too. first generation college student.
jack howl
veterinary medicine. interesting but i think it fits. specifically has an interest in house pets. the main issue is that he gets distracted from his readings easily and sometimes his notes are incomprehensible even to himself because he was up until 3 am reading 70 pages. had to take multiple biology and chemistry classes in order to meet his major requirements. first generation college student too and probably has a federal work study to complete.
OCTAVINELLE
azul ashengrotto
business major, obviously. definitely invests in crypto too during his time at college. probably talks about stocks and the market constantly. took one language course and became fluent in it on his own spare time. wears a suit. all. the. time.
jade leech
bio major specializing in environmental science. has a fascination with mushrooms and is in an environmental club. spends his time volunteering to help clean up gardens and teach kids how to garden. probably has a lot of plants in his room. dorms with floyd in his first year and then after that, azul joins them.
floyd leech
undecided but eventually goes into communications. definitely is a psychology minor too and joins the debate club. really good at debating and has definitely taken a few philosophy classes where he argues good points against other people. often times people have to back down from his arguments. definitely likes to argue too. rooms with jade in their first year and azul joins them afterwards.
SCARABIA
kalim al-asim
international relations. i said it. this kid is an international relations major. probably takes multiple languages and is fluent in at least 4. parents are probably diplomats and therefore he’s a diplomat’s kid. rich. never seen without jamil. his parents wanted him to go into international relations and he’s not exactly mad about it. has trouble picking an area of concentration though because he loves to explore the world.
jamil viper
psychology. it’s safe and it doesn’t really make him noticeable. but secretly, i feel like he would be into the fine arts. so he probably goes for a fine arts minor. but for the most part, he’s basic. definitely rooms with kalim and has to wake him up every morning so kalim doesn’t miss his 8 am. kalim just got unlucky with booking classes.
IGNIHYDE
idia shroud
computer science major and really good at programming. wants to program for video games one day. probably ends up releasing a demo for his game at some point in college. doesn’t go out much. lives on caffeine and red bull energy drinks. lots of all nighters and prefers to order in instead of going out (contactless delivery baby). also probably the guy who takes an uber everywhere (not because he’s trying to show off his money but because public transportation has too many normies). you would have to drag his ass to the dining hall because he’s going broke by ordering in so much.

hellooo can i request a drabble of uni!au art major tae and biochem major yn? also part one of the would you series is AMAZINGGG seriously i cant wait to read more!! <3
rich kid kim
Tumblr media
pairing: taehyung x y/n
wordcount: 5k
glimpse: tae’s cold and probably needs a friend more than he needs a model, y/n feels this nEED to take care of him, a term of enderment then a dash of emotional constipation and a sprinkle of jealousy :D
notes: thank you for the request babes!! writing this made my heart melt and aND!!! thank you omg i’m glad you like would you :((
if you squint or if you’ve read insufferable, this is most probably taehyung and his y/n!!!
taehyung is personally more than willing to pay himself out of this project
oKAY LISTEN
he’s not the proudest knowing that he comes from a rich family and he’s the only kid and he’s never really struggled for much
everything was just given to him without any hesitations whatsoever
and yeah he admits that he can nEVER admit that his pampered and luxurious lifestyle since birth has shaped him to be this way and it’s hard to unlearn these types of things
things were too easy for him and thAt’s what made it hard
tae is the farthest thing from an outcast..,.,.,.,
.,.,. but that’s him in his usual rich boi bubble of elites wherever he goes because he’s surrounded by people like him
hoseok and jimin have got to be his closest friends but of course they pursued business degrees and everyone must’ve probably saw that coming
nobody, however, expected the kim taehyung to pursue a degree based rootly on passion and even major in it
yeah that’s right what are yOU looking at???
he’s an art student and yeah he’s taking this seriously ://
do yOU have a problem with that?? do you?? no what did you say?? step the fuck up ky-
spoiler alert: people do have a problem with that
taehyung could tell that his parents did a complete 180 when they learned through jimin’s noisy-ass mouth (not even through their own son) that he’s gonna be getting an art degree
his dad’s the one who’s most especially disappointed at him because well he’s the only child and uhhhh.,.,.,, so who’s gonna inherit the company now.,.,,,
tae normally feels selfish and this time, he felt like he was being rational rather than being selfish!! this is what he passionately wants!! pls god can i be selfish oNE more time
eventually his parents had no choice because as their son explained,, having an art degree won’t keep him away from the family business at all and he could even expand it!! he doesn’t need a degree!!! 
lmao he’s been putting the money he gets on the stock market ever since he was ten years old
and they had to accept it eventually because this is what HE wants and if this is the only thing that he wants... then might as well help him through it, right??
now this is another dilemma
taehyung’s applied at a regular university in which everyone’s blended together and no one really cares about who’s who
it’s not exclusive to people like him.
he submitted his requirements and his portfolios by himself!!
and he got accepted!!
he’s nOT SURE if it’s purely because of his skills and himself and not his parents’ money nor influence
whatever it is, he doesn’t want to know because if it ends up being the answer he doesn’t want?? lol he’d crawl into a hole and mope for a week and would be doomed to wear three-piece suits for the rest of his life 
so anyways
yeah..,, this is one of the handful of times that taehyung is completely willing to pay himself out 
this project was supposed to be easy enough as what the professor said but uH he’d like to passive-aggressively decline pls and thank you
their final project was to make a portrait
right?? easy!!
a portrait of sOMEONE IN CAMPUS,,, regardless if you know them or not
(( well of course you’d get to know them by the end because yea they’re required to show proof that they indeed met and the model did agree to be painted ))
and by the end of the project, it’s either they keep it to themselves or give it to the model!!
that should be easy, right??
...
....
...... pls say right
oh my god tae should probably drop out now so he doesn’t get to do this
rich people don’t necessarily have to be educated, right???? maybe he’ll just settle into being a himbo 
he learned about the meaning of the word through urban dictionary that he tHEN only learned about like six months ago and now he gets so many things
taehyung’s not intimidated by the workload of it all -- in fact, he’s even excited about it because it helps him relax!!
what he’s intimidated about is the fact that he’s kim taehyung and there are only two possible options
either his model would be someone who knows him and would be taking every possible step to ensure that they climb the social ladder through him and they’re not even gonna be dISCREET about it
OR
his model wouldn’t completely care about who he is and in the process belittles him upfront and tbh his hart wouldn’t be able to take that and he’s probably wipe his tears away with dollar bills
there is almost no in-between, that one he’s sure of
so why are you like this?
why are you neither of the two and why are you sO kind and go against his expectations????
do you have an ulterior motive or something????
you who’s a biochem major and is actually another building away from his own
you who’s made the initiative that you become hIS model
you who actually oFFERED and almost begged to be a part of a project that would only be for tae’s benefit
... aha
that’s about -5 points from being a cool laid-back nonchalant gal
+10 for looking like someone who’s had a massively obsessive crush on him since day one and looking like you’d lay his life for him
no but lmao actually you just learned about taehyung in a magazine
you were bored at the dentist’s and scrolled through every possible outlet in your phone and it didn’t satiate you anymore!!! so how about reading a good ol’ magazine :D
then came taehyung
it was a whole issue dedicated to him and you were probably too dedicated into reading it that this time it was you telling the dentist to wait lol
that’s as far as you knew about him
and then you learned just some weeks ago that taehyung happens to study where you also study at and that was.,., inch resting
you never really saw him before around campus because it was too big and well maybe if you put in the effort, you’d actually find him
maybe you had a tiny lil admiration for kim taehyung just from one whole issue alone you read at the dentist’s or whatever
you’ve only known about this final project situation through changbin!!!
changbin, your neighbor at the apartment next to you, who’d crash over whenever his wifi feels the tiniest bit slow
yes you did spend a little more money to upgrade your internet situation (most times it’s the router who makes all the difference) because you were so tIRED of having things slow in the middle of researching for your projects in biochem)
no you will nOT have that <3
and of course changbin’s not having your that shitty wifi either so he pushed you to get that in the first place so he can use it too lmao
he’s told you just a couple of days ago about his final project and that maybe, just maybe, he’d make it into a move for this girl that he likes
nothing’s more romantic than pleading for someone to paint ur face right
and your grade and the decision to whether you’re gonna pass or flunk and graduate or retake are relying on you mostly
and in changbin’s case it’s also hIS heart on the line so yeah no pressure at all luv
“i kinda feel bad for rich kid kim, y’know?”
“what about taehyung???”
“eW do you have a crush on him??”
“addressing someone by their name equals to a crush??????”
your banters never stop because you’re as quick-witted as him and he both loves and hates it
he loves that omg someone can keep up with him and that way he gets challenged to always have the last say!!
he hates that oh god why is he friends with someone who reminds him of himself so much how is hE gonna deal with that??
sometimes he’ll purposely argue with you to fEEL something lmao
but there’s just something here that tells him you’re a little more interested now in this flow of conversation ever since rich kid kim was mentioned
“hm, nothing. i’m pretty sure he doesn’t have a model yet.”
he dodges you in the kitchen to look for peanut butter in your cupboard and oddly... you’re not berating him for decreasing your groceries....?
what does changbin mean by that? whAt model?? model as in taehyung doesn’t have the newest model of whatever car he wants? or maybe he has a model girlfriend and-
hold on wait wHAT
taehyung has a-
“m-model?”
he looks at you weirdly but you don’t even bat an eye when he gets ahold of your marshmallow spread so that he could make another one of his s’mores sandwiches
“uhhhh model as in he doesn’t have someone to paint for our project??”
is that what you wanted to hear or,.,
you and changbin share one (1) brain cell and it SHOWS
the two of you have to open your mouths, then close, then ponder, and then do that aGAIN until the both of you could finally grasp if you were in the same page
“oh cool!! i’ll be his model then!”
“yeah but did he ask”
“it’s gonna be easy!! i’ll just tag along with you to your building”
“yeah but did he aSK”
“we’re probably gonna hit it off instantly and then you’ll have to leech off from someone else for their wifi and food and every other necessity that you already have-”
“yeah but dID HE ASK????”
long-story short: no. taehyung most certainly did not ask you to be his model.
but here you are
saying that you came a long way is a bit of a stretch because taehyung mostly turns his head the other way around when you call out to him in public
progress is still progress :D
you’re eating lunch with him at the same table and this time you’re sat beside him!! when normally he’d just walk home to his apartment (lol that’s not allowed but you won’t be surprised to know that he has a free pass) and eat!!!
before that, taehyung would gLARE at you until you stop asking to sit with him in his table
yea he gets a bit lonely at time because jimin and hobi aren’t with him and hE’S the outcast but he won’t do anything about it,, just scroll through his phone while he eats and tune everyone out
you figured that maybe it’s changbin always linked with you in lunch because your schedules just matched up thAt perfectly like it does with tae’s
hee-hee so you might have elbowed him until he begrudgingly agreed to be tolerable, keep atleast four feet of distance from you, and not call tae rich kid kim
spoiler alert: taehyung doesn’t really care about whatever you do because doing those changes with changbin did nOT work at all
however
H O W E V E R
taehyung doesn’t know at all how you’ve wormed your way into his heart!!
what seem to be cold to you is his warmest he’s ever been in such a new environment and outside of his usual comfort bubbles!!!
it’s like you occasionally stealing the food from his plate when you have the same thing is the equivalent of h*lding h*nds with him
you putting your leg over his before he pushes it after five seconds mUST be the equivalent to marriage
wait he’s lying
taehyung does know how you’ve wormed your way to his heart
“hi! i’m y/n! :D”
ok u are a little bit sweaty and out of breath from doing all that fast-paced walking for the past ten minutes
your new shoes that you still need to break into further aren’t helping your situation in the slightest bit
honestly? this is all changbin’s fault <3
he unknowingly gave you the sign that you were looking for
if he says yeah five times with five minutes?? okay yeah you’re definitely looking for kim taehyung and offering yourself to become his model
you don’t wanna sound weird but you feel sorry for him and you wanna help him :((
he’s not helping you tho because he has long legs underneath those trousers and it looked like he wouldn’t budge at all not unless you jogged and stopped right in front of him
“hi! i’m y/n!! :D”
“...”
“.....”
tae’s a bit... perplexed
because who’s THIS entity and why are you standing in front of him
...
....
“bye y/n.”
:]
he wants to exit from this situation because oh my god??
why r u like this
he didn’t ASK for your name!!
and he doesn’t even know you and giving him your name honestly won’t do anything and he doesn’t get what’s your motive and-
“oh c’mon!! you didn’t even shake my hand :((”
he feels even more lost as he tries to wrap his head around that uh.....
you uh.... you wanted a handshake??
.....
tae doesn’t even hide his annoyance because it’s clear as day!!!
he’s blatantly tilting his head at you rudely with a blank stare omg take the hint pLEASE
realizing it now you mAY have came on too strong to taehyung that looks confused as ever
“hi, i’m y/n.”
changbin’s by one of the lockers taking pics of you beaming at taehyung and him scowling down to show you later how dumb you look and how you shouldn’t do this at all
okay LISTEN
his personality trait is to immediately assume the worst out of every scenario possible and that way when something slightly less worse happens? that’s a win babie ;D
he became ur friend in the first place because you heard him yelling since he’s at the door right next to yours and you could hEAR him throwing things around as he cusses his laptop
yeah he cusses his laptop what about it??
if you close your eyes hard enough, you could hear him throw his router against the wall (you later learned that he was so close to finishing his digitalization but then his laptop decided to die) before punching the air
(( the friendship started when you knocked vERY gently and offered him to borrow your laptop even if you aren’t done with all your homework ))
((( changbin thought at first that u were such an organized and too-friendly social butterfly who’s a kiss-ass to everyone but now he thinks ur the coolest person ever and he treasures you more than life itself )))
although, taehyung’s a lot more vicious and closed-off and critical than changbin
he narrows his gaze at you as you introduce yourself for the second time before merely clicking his tongue
“ok cool”
is that uhm
is that IT good sir
“you’re not,” you’re dancing around your words and being careful to not let a pout grace your lips at the sheer lack of enthusiasm, “gonna introduce yourself to me??”
you got a reaction alright
taehyung sCOFFS and that’s the loudest he’s ever been with you in the span of two minutes
“you followed me for ten minutes just to tell me your name. kinda seems like you already know mine if you do that, no?”
this is why you took up biochem instead of law
how do the lawyers not break down???
why does phoenix wright make it seem SO easy?? especially when he’s spoken to in a confrontal tone???
oh god taehyung broke you already
not to be rude but uh what do you wANT
can you get it over already??
“o-oh! uhm i was wondering if i could uHm,” you sound ridiculous now that you think about it and this is perhaps one of the only times you feel embarrassed, “volunteer to be your model for your project?”
hmm
was that a wrong answer,,,
sHOULD YOU HAVE SAID THAT??
“are you in my class?”
taehyung asks and he’s finally said a sentence to you!!! omg
you’re quite shocked so he had to click his tongue to get you to answer 
“no, actually!! i’m a biochem major and-...”
that’s all it takes before he hums and nods his head
and for some reason taehyung looks at you like you’re pREY
“are you a stalker?”
okay wait holy fuck wHAT
you know what
you took a sip from changbin’s coffee half an hour ago but why are you only choking on it nOW
you’re positively sputtering and now ur pressured bc tae thinks you’re a stalker!!! a damn stalker!!
“looked at you long enough. i don’t need a sketch artist and i could just-”
no no no pls no
this meeting is going downhill very quickly 
“oh my god taehyung i’m nOT a stalker okay!!!”
that shuts him up because your voice is so firm and okAY then how do u explain this stalker smh ://
throughout the whole time you’re talking about changbin being an art major and also your neighbor and everything in between, tae has such a neutral expression that you feel so intimidated
“-and that’s what!! i’m not taking advantage of you or anything, if that’s what you’re thinking i guess? i swear!!”
he listened and well if he’s being honest,,, okay yea you did make sense and he does know changbin
“okay then. i’ll think about it.”
“are you gonna give me your number???”
it’s either you’re so forward or he’s just not used to being caught off-guard
WHICH FUCKING ONE
“what for?”
it’s been so long ever since someone asked taehyung for his number
usually in galas and any other socialite gatherings you could think of, everyone’s number would just be in your phone automatically and you won’t even rEMEMBER how it got there in the first place
better yet, it’s been so long since he went back to his usual routine lifestyle of being himself 
his last gala was two weeks ago and tae had to keep looking at his phone to study pdfs and whatever clear pictures he can get of his reviewers back at home because he had a test tomorrow morning
“so you could text me where we’re gonna meet so you could paint me, silly!!”
:D
okay wOAH there
“i didn’t even say that you’d be my model????”
“lol but you were thinking it huh”
that’s it
taehyung has nO choice but to paint you if he wants to finish this project and graduate and have something of a thicker paper to flaunt
it came as a shock to him that hE took your offer and he could only imagine its effect on you
not to brag but tae didn’t even have to sweat for a little because it’s yOU who came to him with this offer!! not him!!
tae lives in the classiest apartment here in uni and everyone probably knows that
much to his insistence that he doesn’t want anyone from uni going outside his apartment, he had to take an L and invite you over
he wouldn’t risk doing his work in any place else because he doesn’t want anyone thinking and getting the wrong idea!!
speaking of, he’s regretting it now because you seem to be too happy being in his space
you’re pointing around and being awed at every possible thing!!! 
what??? is this ur first time seeing a rattan hanging chair :// or a massive couch?? or a canvas painting of something so beautiful?? all of that in what’s supposed to be a student’s one apartment??? christ y/n get yourself together
“so what do you want me to do?? where do i sit oR do i stand instead?? i’m gonna need you to know that-...”
“nothing.” taehyung deadpans before he gets his camera so he could get digital shots as well if ever he needs an extra touch when it comes to his final product
the gears in your head are going bRRR and you’re gonna have to ask him to elaborate but taehyung already sets the pace
“nothing. just be your rEALLY annoying self and pretend i’m not here.”
normally you don’t take his words to heart but this one just hits a little close to home bc it’s early in the morning and taehyung already finds you intolerable
“by pretend, do you mean-...”
“up to you. are you more annoying around me or no?”
how did he read your MIND
tae got the thoughts in your head word per word and you’re so amazed at that because fUcK you originally thought that he’s good at bluffing his way up
click!
it’s you smiling at him
no you’re beaming at him
and you’re in front of his morning-lit curtains and you’re against the light
the portrait itself is already visually appealing and satisfying and man the shadows!!! the value!!!! they’re so raw and dreamy and this is exactly his style!!!
it was just a one-take wonder as soon as he took a picture of you!!! and he may have you to hold that position if he needs the push!! he just needs to translate it to canvas with his own language and emotions and then he’s dONE!!
you’re a pain in the ass
you laugh and you move too much
taehyung had you to to revisit that pose and hold it and you wouldn’t stop giggling bc you were too proud that you did THAT!
you also ask too many things that even hE doesn’t have the answers to
how is he supposed to know if red string lovers exist when you went into a spiel just because you saw a red tube of paint???? and why is he saying his opinions on such trivial things when he has his final project to take care of???
and how is he supposed to know why YOU’RE here hanging out with him instead of finishing your own final project
jk maybe it’s the L word but you’re gonna subdue that as much as possible since taehyung looks like he’d leave you by yourself with any chance that he gets
and you even call him terms of endearment!!! nicknames!! pet names!! names that you’d call someone who’s familiar to you and you probably l*ve!!!
angel
that’s what you call him :))
“why do you call me that?”
“because you look like one”
“and how would yOU know what angels look like??”
“because if they were to exist then you’d probably look like one!!”
“but-”
“ok that’s one minute no more questions taehyung <3″
tae just provides you with all the conviction you need to take care of him without even knowing
not in a maternal type of instinct type of way, but rather in a sPECIAL someone type of way
you find yourself caring for him mOre than you ever could for any regular friend you have!!
you just throw a whole loaf of bread to changbin and call it a day
but for tae??? you go above and beyond!!
“did it ever hit you that rich kid kim never really introduced himself to you?”
oh right....
changbin points out one day and you could see where he was getting at
for some reason he always knew what was in your mind at any given time and sometimes it’s to your disadvantage
you seem to be growing on taehyung though!!
he tolerates you better now!!
sometimes he’ll find you loveable even
he likes having someone around and you’re the perfect contender
if he decides to not talk too much, then you fill up the white noise!!
if he wants you to shut up?? then yOU shut up but of course not without babbling for a little
he’s opened up but with some reservations
some reservations that you don’t mind but it’s normal that you feel sometimes left out, y’know??
because it’s been a good month since you and taehyung properly interacted but he still resents you as much if you think about it
“hey angel!!”
“what is it-...”
taehyung looks up from his meal that he’s been poking at his fork because this has to be the fourth time you call out to him
so he turns to look at you and-
oh
uhm
there seems to be a misunderstanding
you weren’t calling HIM
you were calling out to some other guy that iSN’T him
that’s seungmin!!! omg you haven’t seen him in so long and he just happened to pass by your lunch table!!!
apparently he has something to talk to you about which is why you’re standing up and leaving tae all alone on the table
seungmin’s smile is adorable as always and he gets you in a pretty good mood!!
oh god
dear gOD
what is taehyung feeling in his chEST???
tae’s grip on his fork is starting to get pRETTY tight
and if he’s aware enough, his right eye’s twitching and he’s practically scoffing under his breath
why tf would you call him that
WHO is angel and why is it nOT him anymore????
what he’s feeling is just unexplainable and it tastes something like betrayal
“who’s he?”
he quizzes you as soon as you get back to your table and you don’t waver one bit because you know he’s been asking questions recently
“oh that’s just seungmin!! we were childhood friends then he just transferred here awhile-...”
there’s a bitter taste on his tongue and it shows up in his face and you’re not even paying attention to him!!
“really? thought i was him for a second.”
ok now that got you to stop eating
????
why is he acting weird
taehyung looks even more irked because you look sO oblivious right now
“do you call everyone angel?”
o-oh where is this going
“uhm-”
you’re not even finished and to be honest you’re quite lost and taehyung sCOFFS you to the next century
“‘course you do.”
taehyung angrily finishes his meal and you leave it at that because ok maybe he had a bad day?? and he’s just taking it out on you??
and well tae DOESN’T want you to leave it at that
he wants you to ASK him why he’s mad!!! he’s passive-aggressive and it’s getting unhealthy but he’d rather choke than have him spill whatever he’s feeling
the next few days, taehyung avoids you like his LIFE depended on it
you’re not really bothered by it because he has his days, but this one’s just getting out of control
“are you giving me a time-out or something??”
lmao what did u do now
you nudge him when you see him by changbin’s apartment to borrow an easel even though he’s already got it by his apartment
yeah he’s mad at you and he’s petty but maybe he wants to see you again
tae’s giving you silent treatment and you don’t even question him for it
you don’t bother!!
you’re letting him do whatever he wants as always and he dOESN’T like it anymore!!!
he feels like he’s gonna combust at any given time and you don’t give a shit and he feels like yOU should give a shit because you always do!!
you always hover and worry around him but wHY does he feel like you’re not doing it anymore??
why does he yEARN FOR YOU???
it’s quite an an early night for you
you love biochem but sometimes it kicks your ass and it makes you retch at the mention of all-nighters nowadays!! bc they used to be fun but now doing them because you nEED to?? no thx
you’re already in your pajamas and you’re all washed up!! what could changbin need from you at 9 in the evening??
there’s an urgent knocking on your door and you resist the need to groan because you were about to really knock yourself out!! you need to get back all the rest you’ve wasted over your own final project
is that-
“taehyung?”
the man in question is in his huge yellow hoodie that swallows him up every time and he looks positively spent
his hair’s shaggy and his eyes are glazed and there’s a pink tint to his cheeks :((
he’s holding a baby hydroflask in his hands and you’re pretty sure that’s alcohol in there lol
“don’t call me taehyung!!”
he immediately snaps and you’re lost as aLWAYS
did he really just walk all the way to your complex to snAp at you??
“i’m not taehyung,” he frowns deeply and that’s when you’re a bit more mesmerized, “i’m angel.”
is this what you think it is??
your no.1 deflection move is to laugH and you’re doing that rn
something about this whole situation tickles you funny and you’re not sure what to feel about it
“i like your bottle!! i should get one for myself!!”
he could see right through you though
he ignores your stOOpid statements and goes to hold your hands :((
“no, no. i’m your angel. i-i’m your taehyung, right??”
listen
taehyung is the most confusing being you know and he’s so emotionally constipated that he outperforms changbin but this one,,,
this just feels so different
he’s hugging you
he’s embracing you
he’s burrowing his face to your neck and you’d be lying if you said you didn’t ever imagine what this would feel like :(((
he positively 100% might be in love with you
and you positively 100% might be in love with him too
he’s fishing for your hand by your side to put in between your bodies as he shakes it and that’s because he doesn’t wanna let go of the hug 
:((((
you’re melting and this what heaven must feel like :((((
“h-hi. name’s kim taehyung and i’m yours.”

The Foxes as Haikyuu!! Characters
Because both series are gay af and I love them (also, this actually started out as a Karasuno-Foxes thing but like 70% of them got Tsukki and so I expanded)
#1. DAN WILDS - Daichi Sawamura (Karasuno)
I mean, it’s kind of obvious. 
They’re both captains (also their numbers are both number 1)
Dan is passionate and gets the team to get their shit together. She’s the first female captain in NCAA Class I Exy in history and got a lot of shit for it because that’s just a given in being in a team such as the foxes. 
She fought tooth and nail for that team, and believed in it when everyone thought they were nothing but lost causes.
Daichi is also the captain of a team no one else believes in. Karasuno is often referred to as “the flightless birds” or “the fallen champions”. 
Despite that, Daichi tried to whip the team together and is very much passionate about the team, regardless of anyone who told him they're never going to make it.
#2. KEVIN DAY - Oikawa Tooru (Aoba Josai)
Kevin is actually pretty tricky because I have three other characters perfect for him.
But I settled for Oikawa because you can never go wrong with Oikawa.
Anyway, Kevin is an exy superstar and pretty much has fangirls going on for him, which is also the same case as Oikawa who’s also kind of a star (?) who was sought by different schools for his genius in volleyball.
Not to mention, Oikawa has a crazy flock of fangirls and gets interviewed almost every time whether their team wins or lose.
Also, it’s pretty funny because while Kevin is this great son of exy, the foxes mostly snaps at him and tells him to shut up a lot. 
That’s pretty much the case with Oikawa and Aoba Josai. 
Also, you can never not love Oikawa Tooru, just like how you can't hate on Kevin Day. If you do, you’re wrong and we have some talking to do.
#3. ANDREW MINYARD - Kenma Kozume (Nekoma)
I actually have a lot of options for Andrew. If Kevin had three, Andrew surprisingly had freaking six. I definitely did not expect that.
But I’m sticking with Kenma for obvious reasons.
Andrew is great at Exy. Without effort? He plays well. With effort? He’s god-like. He’s just that talented it's insane and infuriating.
Kenma is the same- his performance just increases depending on the effort he pulls.
Plus, like how Andrew doesn’t “care” for exy, Kenma doesn’t “care” about volleyball.
Kenma is cat-like, if that makes sense. Andrew reminds me of a cat.
They’re both smol and adorable beans.
Also, they both hate human interaction 
Plus they’re both fascinated with gingers who are obsessed with sports they don't care about way too much (Hinata for Kenma, and Neil for Andrew (I mean, who else is there??))
#4. MATT BOYD - Koshi Sugawara (Karasuno)
I can’t really see Matt as anyone else, really.
They both have that nurturing nature within them.
Like they’re the gentlest. Enough said.
BUT they can also be playful (?) like with Suga letting Hinata off with his crazy antics and Matt totally spoiling Neil.
Plus, Sugamama and Sawapapa = Matt and Dan
#5. AARON MINYARD - Osamu Miya (Inarizaki)
I was actually reminded of Osamu when I was reading Twinyards on AFTG.
I mean, Aaron is considered the “normal” twin. 
Same with Osamu.
Because their twins gets more attention, they’re kind of not appreciated enough (?)
Like Aaron is hella smart and he can play good.
I mean he’s majoring in biochem (I took a subject on that one once and the exams were literally the definition of pain and agony- never again) and assumably passing while playing exy- that is amazing.
I believe in Aaron Minyard supremacy.
Osamu is a great player and is pretty smart on his own but Atsumu is known as Japan’s best high school setter so that kinda gets all the spotlight.
What I mean to say is that they are both the “normal” twins.
And they’re underappreciated a lot.
Also both would lowkey kill for their twin brothers even if they act/show that they hate said twin brothers.
I mean, Aaron literally killed for Andrew and while there was no killing that took place in DIECHI Haikyuu!!, I’m pretty sure Osamu would totally do the same for Atsumu.
#6. SETH GORDON - Suguru Daisho (Nohebi)
Both Suguru and Seth are actually capable players.
But they have very crude personality and say the lousiest things.
Although Seth didn’t had that redemption Suguru did (because he dead) (but I mean, did Suguru even got a redemption arc? He was still lousy but more controlled in the end, tamed excellently by his girlfriend).
They’re both not really bad guys. Just have some issues here and there but not so bad that a little character redemption arc can’t fix (except Seth is dead and unless we’re adding fantasy and paranormal to the mix, we’re not getting any of that obvi)
I don’t know what else to say but both these guys only appeared like 30% of the series.
#7. ALLISON REYNOLDS - Rintaro Suna (Inarizaki)
I had a hard time trying to fit Allison into anyone. She's too gorgeous and amazing, okay?
But I decided on Suna cuz he fine.
They're both fine players who also gossip and pretty much know anything about anyone.
Also, they both have good instincts and intuitions.
Not to mention they're just both very pretty and I'm a total sap for them.
#8. NICKY HEMMICK - Taketora Yamamoto (Nekoma)
You'd argue Tanaka but Nicky totally gives Taketora energy.
They're both major simps.
No that's it, JK I'm messing.
Anyway, they're also both very honest and friendly.
And while they don't play as well as the other members of the team, they can take a stand and are willing to learn.
Plus they have the tendency to take anyone in, no questions asked.
#9. RENEE WALKER - Asahi Azumane (Karasuno)
If Renee is a goddamn angel then Asahi is freaking Jesus.
They're just the kindest characters in the series okay? No questions asked.
Like no one can hate them.
Asahi also gets mistaken as a bad person when really he is a good person just because he's big and looks kind of scary.
But Renee, often looked upon as a good person, is an ex-gangster who found religion. This girl can kill and people often overlook that.
She's a bad person trying to be a good person (that line's going to my grave)
They just parallel okayy
#10. NEIL JOSTEN - Hinata Shoyo (Karasuno)
Neil is the most difficult to fit into, really.
It took me like in a middle of typing for another character when I realized how stupid I was to not think of him as Hinata.
Because Neil is obviously Hinata.
For one, they're both smol gingers.
But also their passion for their respective sports is massive that it borderline crosses stupidity.
I mean Aaron whacked someone dead with Neil's racket and all Neil was thinking was if he could have said racket back.
And Hinata is obsessed with volleyball. Like Haikyuu!! wouldn't even exist if Hinata wasn't so obsessed of it and just listened to everyone that he's too smol to play.
Like how there wouldn't be AFTG if Neil listened to his mother and ignored his obsession with exy.
They tend to be so passionate that most of the times they ignore logic because it's their sport, okay? It's their world.
Also, Hinata tends to gravitate anyone towards him. Like every single character he meets tend to adore him and take him under their wing and just care for him.
He's a pocketful of sunshine.
Now, Neil might not be a ray of sunshine but he does tend to have the same effect.
Everyone feels the need to protect this boy and if you don't, there's something wrong with you. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules.
They're just precious and deserves to be protected and loved for at all costs.
Plus, they're both sassy af.

i'm here for the sleepover I brought snacks 🤲🍬🍫🍪🍿
how has your weekend been so far? I've had a very productive day studying for my biochem test (are u proud?) so I'm chilling out now
while i'm here i'm gonna ask u for a headcanon cause u know i love those: do u think eddie is a horror movie fan or is he one of those people who hates them with a burning passion bc they're scary
I AM SO PROUD! biochem is fun sometimes xD (no need to get ahead of ourselves obviously), my weekend was okay! seoul dropped in temperature so we're just chilling at home instead of exploring some more xD
I do love headcanons about Eddie and I also love snacks so:
Eddie isn't a fan of horror movies but he doesn't hate them either. He's more indifferent to the genre.
He, much to Buck's offended indignation, laughs at them.
The only times they really watch horror movies are when Hen or Chim recommend them, and that too, only if Buck decides if he wants to.
Eddie prefers science fiction, or action, and occasionally, a romantic movie if he's drunk enough to admit it to himself, but he's never met a horror movie that actually scares him.
Buck jumps at every single scare, but Eddie only laughs the entire time. Not at Buck (much) but at the stupidest ways people get themselves killed in these.
Eddie's the person commenting "he had it coming with the way he was doing that stupid shit" the entire time, and he's always onboard to pick apart that one white person who has to do the dumbest thing possible to get eaten or haunted or both.
Chim tried to watch a movie with Eddie once, and promptly decided that he can't because Eddie has the visceral need to comment on every plot hole and inconsistency ever because his brain just pays attention to all the details.
Karen loves watching movies with Eddie, and a lot of the time, she'll go watch science fiction movies with him so they both can whisper rapidly back and forth in the theatre (Karen-Eddie bestie solidarity thanks), much to everyone else's annoyance
Chris gets it in his head that he wants to watch a horror movie once, and Eddie hunts one down that isn't too inappropriate but still scary.
Chris and Buck sit on the floor, cross-legged, wrapped in a single blanket staring at the TV, and Eddie sits on the couch staring more at his boys than whatever's playing out on TV.
They're enraptured, minus the occasional jump or scream, not moving a single inch and movie night has never really been so quiet.
That's the last time Eddie gives them the popcorn bowl because one particular shriek sends the whole bowl flying as Buck and Chris cling to each other. Eddie's so stunned that he can't do anything but laugh and laugh and laugh, even with popcorn kernels stuck in his hair.
Buck never lives it down when Eddie recounts it at the station the next day.
(That's when he starts hunting for horror movies where technology takes over the world - would serve Eddie right)
sleepover weekend

*slaps roof of fanfiction* this baby can fit so much self-projection in there ~ @rauko-is-a-free-elf s wise words. enjoy <3
Dean's the one who can't get out of bed without coffee. The one who thinks sunday brunches are a thing just because real people aren't supposed to be up by breakfast time on the weekend. The one who'll crash face first into the couch, first thing he's back from college, because screw consciousness, that's why.
And yet, it's Cas who stumbles out of the shower on seven-am-biochem-Thursday, and proceeds to trip over the carpet and land in Dean's arms.
"I'm so fucking tired."
"Of the — carpet?" Dean frowns, looking over Cas's bedhead to examine the Queen lyrics-filled specimen. He's rather fond of it.
"Of being," Cas mutters, heaving himself upright and swatting at Dean's hand when he reaches to smooth his tie. "Whoever the fuck I'm supposed to be."
Dean tries to get to his tie again, and receives a particularly pissed-off glare for his efforts.
"And who is that?" Dean throws back, playful because why not; he's expecting a sarcastic comeback, a suffering eyeroll, or even to be annoyedly swore at — which he definitely wouldn't mind, coming from his best friend slash boyfriend slash dude with the literal sexiest voice Dean's ever heard — but he's definitely not expecting Cas to launch himself at him, purposefully this time, also gentler, and bury his face in Dean's shirt.
Dean waits, worried, but hands coming up involuntarily to hug back.
Cas doesn't budge.
"Babe?"
All the reaction that induces is for Cas to cling harder. And for words to get muttered — and reasonably muffled, into Dean's shirt.
"I hate that guy."
Dean raises his eyebrows, belatedly realizing Cas can't see them. "Huh?"
"The guy I'm supposed to be." Cas goes on, gritting his teeth. "Dean, I hate him. He makes my life miserable. And I — I'm just so tired."
And at that, Cas decides the point's been made, and stops talking entirely, leaving Dean with little more to do than hold on.
And think.
He knows Cas never got a chance to make the choices most people take for granted. The guy never got to choose his major, choose his hobbies. Hell, hardly even his friends. Private schooled and isolated until his parents up and shipped him off to Princeton pre-med, Dean's always believed Cas had the right to be mad.
Even though he's now in actual med-school, a year from becoming Doctor Novak — Dean gets a secret thrill every time he imagines that, and Cas knows, so it's not a very well-kept secret — and no longer in touch with his parents (who turned out, unsurprisingly, to be assholes who cut him off when they found out Cas is gay. Well, pansexual, but they didn't really care about labels once they'd met Cas's boyfriend. Dean. Who likes to take some of the credit for his boyfriend's relatively new disowned status, even though it had mostly been Cas being a badass, and finally, finally standing up for himself.)
So one might say things turned out fine, and there's no reason to hold grudges, but if Cas wanted to, Dean would have a hundred percent declared it valid.
But that's where Cas came in. That's where who he was, came in. A thinker, a dreamer, but grounded enough to not hold onto the anger. Independent, but rarely reckless. Plus, aware enough to work hard and reap well, while at the same time, searching for reasons to find the good in things.
Dean loves him, and admires him. Admires his intelligence, and tenacity, and courage. But this had never happened before.
Dean may have been the initiator of most hugs, but that could usually be traced down to Cas's nonexistent social skills, and Dean's embarrassing dependency on touch, in lieu of words. This, was one of the most passionately Dean had seen Cas feel something, outside of love.
And it was rattling.
If being this way — this ideal everything; top of his class, tireless, always in control — was burning Cas out, it couldn't go on. Dean would take a less 'functional' Cas over the wrecked-sounding prodigy in his arms anyday.
And god knew Dean Winchester was far from perfect himself.
There was only one way ahead.
Dean holds on quietly, and a couple minutes pass. Clearly Cas needs it, seeing as how he dissolves more into Dean as the seconds pass, the frustration leaving him vacant and devoid of energy.
"Cas?"
Cas shifts in his arm, tenses a bit. "I'm sorry, I —" He starts, sounding too obviously disappointed for some reason, and Dean hates it.
"Dude." Dean cuts him off, somehow not cheerful, but still bright. It's always easier talking someone down like this, and Cas has always, strangely, drawn from Dean's moods. "You're going to apologize for needing a hug?"
Cas remains quiet.
They both know it was more than that. Cas has calmed considerably, but he wasn't himself before. Or he was. Now, he's almost normal — but it feels like he's being who he's normally supposed to be again, and that's not good.
"Also," Dean continues, undeterred by the lack of response. "That guy? Sounds like a real piece of work. Ever thought of cutting him off?"
"It doesn't work that way."
"Don't see why not."
"Dean —"
"So it won't happen in a day." Dean realizes Cas is shifting again, and a little uncertainly, lets him pull away. Thankfully, he stays in Dean's space, albeit carrying his weight on his own two feet. Dean doesn't know what to do with his hands anymore, so he takes Cas's in them. Cas lets him. "It'll take time, be a process and whatnot, and you'll have me with you, you'll have all our friends really. Plus, isn't college about experimenting?"
Cas makes a sound which sounds like a chuckle he couldn't exactly help, and Dean preens, encouraged by it.
"And it's not like I'm about to let you go try and play for the other side," He adds, lightly. "You're stuck with me. But this could be your adventure."
There's a more comfortable silence.
Cas breaks it this time, clearing his throat. "You don't think I'm too young for a midlife crisis?"
"Take it from someone who raised Sam fucking Winchester, babe. This is way more of a teenage crisis." Cas cringes visibly at that, but that just means it's working. "Breaking out of your barriers, discovering who you really are? Netflix's coming-of-age producers are coming for your twenty seven year old ass."
Cas shakes his head, grumbling at him, but he's already sounding more like himself, and Dean can work with this. "You're mean to me sometimes."
"You tackle me like a mascot scoring a touchdown-hug sometimes."
Cas snorts. "That hardly makes sense."
"Your face hardly makes sense." Dean wastes no time in hurtling the first response in his head, and it earns him a less reluctant laugh. The weariness in Cas's voice remains, but the upset is wearing off.
"Great comeback, wasn't that?"
"Your face is a great comeback." Dean informs him with a huff, as he leans in to kiss the smug look off his boyfriend's face. Cas meets him halfways, tilting his head, and sliding a hand up Dean's arm and shoulder until it's around his neck. His fingers stroke the short hairs at the back of Dean's head, and he tugs just the way Dean likes it, earning a full shudder from the latter as he pulls back breathlessly.
"Are you trying to distract me?" Dean accuses dramatically, hand on his heart.
Cas shrugs, pulling on a nonchalant look, and almost succeeding. "You were making my dilemma sound too solvable. A man is excused some defense mechanisms, isn't he?"
"Not when I'm making progress, sunshine." Dean throws back. "Just, hear me out, okay? You want to do this, you're going to be making changes. Doing things, and more importantly, giving up things that don't feel like you. It doesn't even have to be a big deal. Unless you want it to be. I mean, you're a sucker for planning, making lists, that sorta thing, right?"
The easy smile has started returning to Cas's features again, and he nods. A little. (As if he appreciates Dean's rambling, and because he's Cas, he probably does.)
"So that's where we start. Hell, I could buy you a binder. There's this stationary place Charlie does not shut up about, and they might have those huge, black, spiralbound binders. Which I figure you're secretly obsessed with, you know, since you're secretly a nerd." Dean reasons, satisfiedly.
"It's hardly a secret."
"Oh, it is." He beams. "And I, your awesome, hot boyfriend, am your cover."
Cas rolls his eyes with feeling, leaving Dean basking in a momentary sense of accomplishment. But it's not the time. And it may have been him rambling, but it's not about him.
"So," He raises his eyebrows. "What do you say?"
Cas draws in a breath. "I say," he swallows. "Yes. Okay, I mean. Yeah. You — you make it sound doable. Plausible, somehow." Cas bites his lip. "Come to think of it, I haven't thought of a particular something I want to change, and I know I'll probably rethink everything six more times, and I know you'll still be patient with me, even when I don't change what doesn't feel right, just because I'm too used to it, and truthfully, maybe it's too soon to be thinking of changes, and we should slow down, especially you, because you're wonderful, but I don't think I can change myself as efficiently — and I don't think we can, either. But I'm grateful, and I agree, and I want to change things as well, and I'd like a binder, really, and you —" Cas scrubs his face with a hand. "I just know, that I - I feel different."
Dean grins. "Yeah?"
Cas breathes in again, slower. On the exhale, he sighs. "I love you."
"That ain't exactly a 'different' anymore, babe." Dean reminds, and it's all the motivation Cas needed to wrap his arms around Dean again, and plant a firm, telling kiss on his lips.
"I know. But it's easier to say, and I know you understand."
"Yeah, I do."
Dean smiles, and Cas mirrors it, crinkled eyes and showing gums, and an uncharacteristic dampness in his eyes in spite of the breathtaking smile, and it's too damn beautiful a sight to not kiss again.
So Dean does, and Cas only smiles wider, more beautiful.
*
In around twelve minutes, Cas's alarm for six forty-five goes off, and he pulls back in a frenzy — as dazed as Dean from the makeout, but senses just enough present to realize he's going to be late for his lecture.
They figure it out though, like they figure out most things — Dean puts together a sandwich while Cas gets dressed, and later drives him to class in his Baby, since he's obviously missed the bus. Cas ends up only three minutes late, and it's a good thing Dr. Harvelle is in a good mood, because she at least pretends to believe their unbelievably trite excuse, delivered in Dean's most earnest voice. ("Traffic.")
Later that evening, when Dean's back from his shift at the autoshop — it helps pay bills, and he gets to add 'experience' under engineering on his resume — and Cas is back from the hospital, and they're piled on the couch in front of the TV watching reruns of Doctor Sexy, tangled in each other, Dean remembers something he's been meaning to ask since the moment he gave what happened that morning, some thought.
"Hey, babe." he begins, as a by-the-way. "What exactly happened this morning?"
"I believe I tackled you like a mascot scoring a touchdown-hug." Cas answers, in the straightest of voices because he's hilarious like that.
"Yeah, I mean — you did." Dean snorts at the callback. "But like, what triggered it?"
"Oh." Cas pauses. "I believe we ran out of shaving foam."
"Shaving foam." Dean repeats, incredulously.
"Yes." Cas doesn't even have the courtesy to grin, when Dean snickers. "And usually, we have a spare bottle. I — I tend to make sure of it. But I checked, and we didn't, and I was supposed to make sure we don't completely run out of these things, and I didn't, and I —" He shrugs. "I just hated that I forgot, so much, in that one minute of staring at the mirror, and I was agitated, until —" Dean blinks, and Cas affords a tiny smile. "I realized I couldn't do this anymore. I had a revelation, it would seem, at how pointless all of that self-loathing was, and how I've tired entirely of being that person."
"So you got mad that you got mad?"
"I — kind of. But it was mostly the shaving foam." Cas points out, now deadpanning on purpose because Dean can't hold back the laugh. Nobody in the universe could have an identity crisis over shaving foam except for Castiel fucking Novak, and Dean gets to live with this ridiculous sonuvabitch, the adorable fucker, and watch him get more unbelievably perfect by the day.
"Cas?" He lets out, still laughing. "Proud as I am of your moment of truth, and you deciding to go easy on your expectations of you and all that, can I just say something?"
"Of course." Cas responds, immediately.
"I think I like you better with the peach fuzz."
And so it's Cas's turn to burst into a laugh, and it's not like Dean's stopped anyways, so eventually it's just the both of them laughing through the evening, and laughing through dinner, still tangled in each other, still piled on the couch, and Doctor Sexy still playing in the background, because some things change, and other things don't, and some things won't, and that's that.

Aelius Anatole Radošević De Silva
Anatole has changed a bit as a character since i was around the first time, so he’s getting re introduced. His open to make friends.
Tumblr media
art by @elizastarkart​
Name: Aelius Anatole Radoševic De Silva. He has two surnames because his mother is latina. He is a mixed Latine-Slav, with family that is all latine, vesuvian, and slavic. People he’s friend’s with call him Anatole (russian/greek pronunciation, he doesn’t acknowledge the French one). Only people he has a strictly professional relationship with, and his uncle call him Aelius.
‘Aelius’ means sun, while ‘Anatole’ means sunrise. He’s fully aware of this, he chose his name himself.
His nicknames are:
‘Nana’ is the most common nickname, and the one most people use.
His mother calls him Lilito, Nana, Nanito, Toly, Tolito, Tortolito.
His father calls him Lily or Lilu.
Toly, Tolytoly or Tolito are nicknames used by his maternal grandmother, his aunt, and his Vesuvian family.
He will not mind if you want to call him Toly, but you cannot call him Lily/Lilu if you’re not his father.
Asra came up with Nanatole, which he doesn’t like but lets Asra call him anyway. Asra also came up with Nana Banana and that is absolutely forbidden.
Family: on his father’s side both the Radošević, who are slavic (yugoslavic, specifically), and the Cassano, a prominent Vesuvian family who has had a hold of the Consulship for years.
On his mother side, the De Silva.
His father’s name is Vladislav, but everyone calls him Vlad, he’s an alchemist, a polymath, and works in what is most similar to biochemical engineering. He has one bother, named Valeriy, who you, however, might now as Valerius. Vlad’s biggest personality trait is being head over heels in love with his wife, and adoring his son more than he thought it was humanly possible to care about someone.
His mother’s name is Louisa De Silva (if you want to add her mother’s surname, it’s Lascal). The L-o-u spelling was a registry mistake she never changed. She moved half across the world while her native country suffer a military-civilian dictatorship to study Medicine. She swore never to go back as long as vestiges of said dictatorship remained in the country. She has two sisters: Paris, who lives in Vesuvia, and Alma, who remained with her parents out of her own choosing. Her medical experience include having been a volunteer war doctor. She didn’t change her surname when she got married.
The Radošević (pronounced Radozheveech) and the Cassano have been entangled families by friendship for generations upon generations, with some marriages between them. Notoriously: Vlad and Val’s father married a Cassano, Matilda, and his bother Mircea, Anatole’s great uncle, also married a Cassano: Florentino. Mircea’s brother and Matilda Cassano died when Vlad and Val were children still, so him and Florentino brought them up.
The Radošević are an overall eccentric family (think the european Addams family), whom are noted for: one, their self-sufficiency/self-preservation, which comes out in a very ‘eccentric people of the world unite’ manner. They appreciate people with character. Two, their leanings towards trades/professions, they do not conceive not doing anything (work hard to play hard). The Cassano, while sharing the quirk, they add the zest for life. It’s like they grabbed the Radošević and told them “you have forgotten how to live and we will remind you how.” Both of them are ridden with racially ambiguous bastard you cannot kill in any way that matters. They simply refuse to. Someone (either the courtiers or Lucio) compared them to roaches, they took it as a compliment.
This will tell you a lot about Anatole’s character.
On a last note, Anatole’s an only child. He has a good relationship with his parents, albeit marked by a sense of distance, solely because he was privately tutored from age 15 and on, which required him to travel a fair share. He was an argumentative teenager, but always cherished whenever he could see his parents. The older he gets, the closer they all become.
Favourite Food: Cake
Favourite drink: Coffee, in general.
Favourite Flower: Iris
Birthday: Nov 1st
Age: 29 (I calculate his age as if he had been born in 1991)
Zodiac:
Sun: Scorpio
Moon: Virgo
Rising: Libra
Mercury & Mars: Scorpio
Venus: Virgo
Patron arcana: Strength & Ace of Swords
Strength
Upright: inner strength, bravery, compassion, focus, Reversed: self doubt, weakness, insecurity      
Ace of Swords
Upright: breakthrough, clarity, sharp mind, Reversed: confusion, brutality, chaos
MBTI Type: INTJ-A
Gender: Transmasculine, but Nonbinary. Uses He/Him pronouns only
Orientation: Identifies as NBLM.
LIs: Julian, Muriel, @ilyamatic​‘s Andrico, @thelazaretmakesmesad​‘s Vishal.
“The sun-like strategist with a solution for everything, and a whole lot of hope in the future.”
More details under the cut!
Physical appearance:
Tumblr media
art by @lesbianarcana​
5′4. As you can see in the sprite down below, while he’s slim but with muscle, out of doing a moderate to high level of physical activity. The man has a nice waist and inherited his mother’s hips, which he’s very proud of. He likes his legs and his butt the most about himself
Dark brown eyes, long eyelashes. His hair is naturally black, but he dyes it blond.
Has a mole over his right eyebrow, on the left side of the bridge of his nose, and on his left jaw. He has freckles.
An horizontal scar on his nose, which he got by getting hit with a wooden scaffold square in the face. His nose wasn’t broken out of sheer dumb luck. He has a smaller cut on his cheekbone, which was done by a fencing sabre which lacked the proper tip protection/button. It was done onto him by someone else.
The nose scar is how he met Julian before the plague, as he was the doctor which cured his face.
He has several tattoos:
Right arm: A rapier on his inner forearm. Over his elbow he has a black work band, and over it the words ‘THE SUN IS MY UNDOING’ in all caps, circling his arm.
Left arm: a snake wrapped around his forearm, near to the wrist. The Odyssey quote ‘let’s have a toast to the incompetence of our enemies’ under the inner crook of his elbow, and a floral half sleeve.
Chest and Torso: AMOR OMNIA VINCIT over where his heart is supposed to be. He has laurel leaves on the base of his waist.
Legs: ‘o serpent heart hid with a flowering face‘ in his upper, inner thigh, like really up his left inner thigh. A floral anklet on his right ankle.
Languages Spoken: Too many. He speaks nine languages.
Magic Specialities: His magic is connected to both light and languages (it is a play on words with ‘logos’) so he is both adept in photokinesis — he is able to create and manipulate sources of light — and language related magic — which includes incantation and language manipulation. He learns languages as a faster rate than most people, and while he cannot speak or literally understand a language unless he learns it, his magic allows him to intuitively grasp the meaning of words that are being spoken to him.
This capacity also makes him very good at recognising hidden intentions in people. This is not an ability that he broadcasts having, and when he later succeeds Valerius as the Consul, it is something which aids his diplomatic work but he keeps private.
His words tend to carry more weight sometimes because of his magic, something which he can’t always control — it depends on many factors — so he tries to choose his words carefully and with consideration.
His familiar is a Raccoon, named Antu.
Occupation: While he did study magic and is in touch with his magic, he studied politics, diplomacy and international relations. By trade, and out of will to help people, he is a political analyst and, later in life, a Statesman.
Personality/Trivia:
Willpower or Stubbornness? Depends how you look at it. Passionate, generally devoted, hopeful, independent and sometimes defiant. He is a people-oriented introvert. Competitive, but not aggressively so.
Smarter than he gives himself credit for. Overall charming, even debonair.
Curious by nature, hates having his decisions taken for him.
He is proper, sometimes even distinguished, but he is feral. A firm believer in being kind and compassionate with people, until you cross him one too many times, then nothing will make him taint his vindictive wrath.
Is he humble? For the most part. His humbleness comes from knowing his own limits and knowing he’s not infallible. He does have, however, a good deal of pride in himself and trust in what he can do, and he doesn’t like being underestimated.
He’s not particularly loud, though when the chatterbox is on, then it is on, specially if he’s nervous. He is often never still. 
He’s known he has ADHD since he was seventeen.
Likes dancing.
He fences, almost every Radošević fences/sword fights, and he will let you know at the slightest chance. Which can be either him simply being hyper-fixated in fencing, him flirting, or him letting you know that if the occasion rises, he’s armed.
Friend shaped, lover shaped if you’re daring enough.
He wrinkles his nose when he doesn’t like something.
Speaking of which: he doesn’t like abuse of power, the Court, injustice, supremacists of any kind, unkind, hurtful and selfish people in general; he doesn’t like red meat (he says it tastes like metal or dirt), narrow minded people, incompetence, specially when displayed by people in positions of power, and purposeful apathy.
A mastermind archetype, but he draws his power from connection. He does not conceive a life not lived with others.
A bit of a bastard, he enjoys a good laugh.
He plays the piano and the harp, he sings, he cannot draw, he’s a lightweight when it comes to alcohol (which doesn’t really stop him), he likes the opera because he likes watching other people’s drama without being dragged into it, and his favourite season is winter. Also likes playing chess, reading, coffee, flowers, a well tailored outfit, learning, languages, the sea, mysteries, winter, a well laid argument, collecting quills, music, winning, knowing he loves and is loved in return.
When he was 7 he bribed his dad for more dessert, and he ate so much he vomited. His sweet tooth hasn’t gone anywhere, it is alive and well.
Perceptive little bastard, will knife cat you for the sake of it. He has a way more present sense of humour than what he comes across.
Would call himself a ‘trans masculine Mary Poppins’.
He is closest to his parents, his uncle, my other ocs Leonore, Medea and Sabine, his cousins Amparo Cassano and Milenko Radošević, Natiqa, Asra, Portia and Nadia.
If he liked women, he would be paired with Nadia. The possibility both terrifies and fascinates me.

It's not uncommon in our culture to use the "H" word frequently. We use it to describe our distaste for all things, from food to art and music—and most definitely politics. The line between love and hate, as most of already know, is dangerously thin. Rarely do we feel such compelling emotions for the mediocre. Surely in our mind's cavernous sorting system, the doors for love and hate are adjoining. And while these emotions share an incredibly important common denominator—intense passion—they drive us to do vastly different things. But with that line between the two so thin, is it possible to turn hate into love? Here are a few reasons worthy of giving it a try and some tips on how to do it:
1. Less hate is healthier
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously said, "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." And he was right on from a health perspective, too. Studies have found being nicer can reduce stress while hate often exacerbates it. Stress is believed to be a huge factor in the development of illnesses ranging from insomnia and digestive disorders to cancer. And decreasing hate supports healthier mental states as well. Healthier bodies and minds make us ripe for healthier relationships, too, which can be rewarding on spiritual and physical levels as well.
2. Less hate could mean a longer life
Author David R. Hamilton, PhD says the brain's production of oxytocin (which happens through emotionally satisfying interactions) can also help to reduce the levels of free radicals and inflammation, which can help to slow aging. He also cites a connection between compassion and the vagus nerve, which controls inflammation in the body. A study conducted on Tibetan Buddhists found kindness and compassion reduced inflammation.
3. Love and kindness make us feel good
When we turn our hatred into love—or at least, kindness—our brain releases chemicals including dopamine, which can improve our mood. According to Hamilton, "On a biochemical level, it is believed that the good feeling we get is due to elevated levels of the brain's natural versions of morphine and heroin, which we know as endogenous opioids. They cause elevated levels of dopamine in the brain, so we get a natural high, often referred to as "Helper's High."
4. Kinder people are more successful
David Brooks wrote for the New York Times that people who are genuinely kind and compassionate are usually the most successful: "In pursuing our self-interested goals, we often have an incentive to repay kindness with kindness, so others will do us favors when we’re in need." And a study published in Psychology Todayfound children who performed acts of kindness "gained an average of 1.5 friends during the four-week period—good support for the idea that “nice guys finish first.”
5. Creativity and kindness go hand-in-hand
While maudlin and depressed may be the more common way we think of great poets, authors, musicians and artists, new research has found a connection between art and kindness. Research conducted by the Centre for the Study of Group Processes at the University of Kent, found that there is potential for the arts to "be at the heart of strengthening our capacity for empathy, friendship, social bonds and concern for others, including future generations."
Turning anger into loving kindness can seem easier said than done. But you can try some of these tips to help you transform hate into love:
1. Be in service
When we help others, we think less about ourselves and those things that frustrate us. And helping others makes us feel better, too.
2. Meditate
Gaining some quiet time for self-reflection can help to shed light on reasons we may be full of hatred and show ways to transmute it. Even just a few minutes a day can help.
3. Think of something (or someone) you love
It's believed that hate and love can't co-exist in your mind, so when you're feeling hatred, try thinking about who or what you love, like a family member, a pet, music, a special place...
4. Be present
Often, our hatred happens when we're in "unconscious" mode. We're letting triggers or memories from the past affect our current actions. By staying in the present moment and observing our feelings, we're more capable of dealing with them properly.
5. Do you really hate it?
Like being unconscious to our actions, a lot of our hatred of things can actually be based on an experience we had a long, long time ago. Maybe it's time to check in and see if you really do hate something as much as you think. I routinely "try" garlic just to be sure I still hate it (and I most definitely do not like it).
6. Find the love in the hate
It's a thin line between the two, right? And as it's often the case in marriages or relationships, we can both love someone and find them extremely irritating at the same time. Can you love the fact that you hate someone or something? Does that change the experience at all?
7. Receive more love
Sometimes our hatred can stem from our own lack of being loved. Spend more time with people who love you or volunteer at an animal shelter or sanctuary where animals easily give you lots of love, and see if that changes your perspective.
8. Evaluate your diet
What we eat profoundly affects every part of our being. Food sensitivities and allergies can certainly impact our moods. So can foods high in processed sugars and flours, as well as caffeine.

hi! i'm the same anon who asked you about your work lol i'm really curious so i have more questions for you (i don't want to be annoying or anything so feel free not to answer if you don't want to) how long have you been working in immunotherapy? and did you always like everything related to science?
Hello and no worries—I don’t mind! You’re not being annoying!
July 13th will be my 6 year anniversary at work/in immunotherapy. 🥳 Where did the time go?!
I’ve always loved science in school! It was my favorite subject because it’s so relevant and interesting. But I hate physics, biochem, and ochem with a passion so I don’t love all the sciences! 😆
Anon, are you interested in science or did you study something science related?

People create their own problems, then suffer because of it
And let us be honest, this is quite a common issue. I have known the taste of it, and so do you, I believe.
I have seen people of such qualities, you know. I have this roommate guy, name’s Ivan. He is the “that annoying guy” in almost every story that I can tell about my life in Russia. And to be clear, no, I do not hate him. He is quite a cute guy. In fact, you might even like him without the language barrier. But the thing about cute guys is that other than being a lazy couch potato, they don’t do much. Now this dude, he have been actively telling me that he HATES dirty. So, perfectionist, some mr.clean, just like me. That is good. Problem is, that is not what he is. He is literally the dirtiest guy in the room, with dirty clothes piling up to the top before he took them to the laundry. So why does he keeps telling me that he is a clean guy, and he loves cleanliness, so on so on? Because, that is the person he wants to be. That is his “mirror”, by the way of our saying.
So what point am I trying to make clear? Well, I am trying to make clear that I am done with you. Finished. Ended. No more “creepy” following, no more holding on to a dead relationship. Because that is exactly what I want, after the day that you were being rude to me. The day that you sort of tell me to fuck off.
So where is the line between being a creep and a one-sided lover?
Not very bright ans clear, to be fair. I myself can’t really draw a straight line, but I know one thing. That is, at that time, and even now, I still love you. To a degree, of course. But as long as I wish to see you being happy, as long as I wish to make your life better and happier, I will count that as love. But you don’t love me anymore, so why m I doing this? I have been writing this question over and over again too many times, that I myself lost count. Does not matter tho. One can only hope for a day of a return signal.
But anyway...remember our last convo? That you told me that i was such a creep, and that I better “go get a life”? Well you offended me hard with those words. You used to tell me that you do not understand me. I guess you still kinda aren’t. You used to tell me that nobody can’t live with anybody. Well yes I am living a happy, energetic, full of love and passion-ish life right here. You see the point? I failed miserably in almost everything I did after our breakup. What in the f... I totally lost that cocky attitude of the age 18, because I lost too much. I felt the pain. I have been there and I understand how you mattered to me, how largely you affected me. I longed so hard for your caring hands. I loved them. Your hands are beautiful. So that is my life. That is the life that I got, and kinda deserved. And I stopped being that creepy ex of yours. You happy now? You should be happy. I felt a lot of pain, thinking about your words.
...or so you thought. Well, I stopped actively seeking informations about you. I had to stop myself from doing so, so as not to become a concern to you anymore. I have to fabricate another me, that is, the me that you see today. Some independent, harsh, cold blooded Russo-Vietnamese dude on the street of the capital of depression itself. But things have changed a bit, and I must confess...
I did seek your informations. Yesterday.
And please don’t hate me for it. There was this feeling... this weird one, kept pushing me to do so. I discovered some infos, like your new address, your boyfriend’s name, address, his history, the time and activities you shared with him,... For a while I did felt like a creep. But...what am I supposed to do? What would you do, were you in my shoes? Just chilling in some corners, believing things will be fine, and not starting to look out for your loved one? Anyway, I was wrong about he being younger than you. Or at least you two are of 2001-era. Which is fine, I totally get it. For a second there I actually thought I will lose you forever, after your endevour with him. But...you know what am I thinking? Don’t hate me for this, I’m just being honest on what I think about your new boyfriend. He is cute. One big fatty boy, kinda lovely-ish quality. His family is not the top dog of the city, but lives a fairly easy life. I did not found any other of his older relationships, meaning you were the first one that he actually loves. In fact, you said yourself that you felt like he did not understand the love that you are giving him. That is a huge mark for a downfall, and I am speaking from experience... Anyway, he has a liberal-eccentric mindset, just like you. So I believe your first moments with him were easy. You two had some real good time, I guess. He is CH2, meaning he can help you with your major studies. And that is good. But your anniversary were on 21/11/2019, and that is...strange. Since the guy is the same age as yours, I thought that he is no longer a freshman. So why did you have to ask me about what I studied for a CS major? My guess is that he arrived a year later than you, and had to start off everything from the beginning. Also, he is study discrete mathematics, so that is another clue. Oh and his whole Facebook profile is publicly open. Which is... not a good thing, if not stupid, especially for a CS major, and I am talking very honestly. It was neat if there were a creep who wants to find his informations tho.
And, his physique. Gotta say, you really have a taste for big, chubby guys. But you said yourself that this guy could not even lift you up. And when I asked for your weight...well let’s say that was not a smart question. Anyway, a 19 years old guy is a guy in his prime. If he cannot lift a tiny, 60kg-ish girl like you up, then what can he do, physically speaking? I really wonder.
And please don’t hate me for this
Who in their right mind would want to become a creep? Nope, nobody. But some...biochems had driven me to this stage, I believe. And since this is your field, may be you can be of help. I am just suggesting.
Anyway, short story before I have to sleep. It is almost 2AM, and I have to leave quickly tomorrow.
I once knew a big bro, who lives in Perth, Australia. His Steam profile name is Neo Jim Meownor. Which is sort of cute. He is a tall, thin guy. But a good person, from what I observed. He is like a brother to me. And today he texted me, on Steam, of course. He asked me why did he not spot me on Facebook anymore? Well, I closed the account, so that is a fair question. I answered the fact, and wished him a happy new year. Now the thing about him is that... he is living the dream. Almost my dream. He lives far away from the “communities”, with his beautiful and caring wife, who he already had a lovely child with. And he can play games almost everyday. He even has a channel for sharing his gaming footages. Also, he is an artist, and a very good one at that. Now I know, I always tell you that I will be some sort of computer engineer. But I used to love being an artist too. Living a peaceful life like that...that is the dream, my dear.
And that dream will never be fulfilled without you. Because you know me. You understand me more than you think. I love you.
That’s it for today. I’ll see you again, soon.

*cracks knuckles* it’s time to get ready to overshare !! thank you for sending so much in!! it was fun hehe
ursa minor: do you have hobbies or interests that no one knows about?
hmm sports, writing, and editing? i enjoy watching sports matches and being nerdy about analyzing the players and game lol, mostly basketball and volleyball! i hate playing sports though lol. writing and editing are just for fun! (irl ppl don’t know much so i guess it’s a secret). i’d like to pursue editing to something more serious though!
corvus: what are 5 things you appreciate about yourself?
1. neatness and i’m organized! / 2. i only surround myself with good people, if there’s something off about a person i immediately cut them off (idk if this is me running away from everything bad or that i respect myself lol) / 3. how easily inspired i am / 4. chill? (is that the right word?) sometimes i just can’t bring myself to care that much abt certain things lol / 5. fashion sense i think
orion: what element would you like to be able to bend?
i convinced myself i was a waterbender when i was younger lmao but i’d like to bend fire! no reasons, i just think it’s cool hehe

shizuku from whisper of the heart and ursula from kiki’s delivery service...they are just so comforting!! having a lil studio in the forest is such a dream!
betelgeuse: which video games gives you nostalgia for a place you have never been to?
ah i don’t play any video games :-(
deneb: you can turn one book into a movie,tv show or video game. which one are you picking?
omg this is a hard one! i’ll probably think about this more but rn i’m completely stuck >///<
spica: when do you consider a movie “good”?
no plotholes, it’s consistent, and not so cliche. the texture, not bland, and good writing is important too. soundtrack that evokes emotions is kinda important to me as well. not so much necessary but i like it when a movie has an open ending! i look forward to the cinematography a lot too :D but honestly, everything needs to work well together, the writers, actors, and production team.

moon: “A man is made of memories. It is all we are.“ (Lawrence) what do you think this means? Do you agree?
kind of! how we act and behave was all from our childhood—memories. it shapes us how we are today. we think a lot, we experience a lot, so it think this is what the quote means...? hopefully i don’t sound stupid lol
comet: you have the chance to undo one thing or decision in your life, would you take it? If you are comfortable sharing: what did you change?

delta iv heavy: what is your favourite thing about your degree course?
ah i’m not there yet (i’m assuming this is for uni/college). but, i’d like to study fashion design or something in the art department hehe
heavy falcon: what is a subject you are highly interested in but you would never study yourself?
english, biochem, interior design, history, ohmygod i have a lot. but the thing with me is that i’m very interested in anything, i’m curious, but i’ll never commit to anything that isn’t art because i’m simply just not passionate enough. there’s a difference with being interested/curious and passionate for me...? (not to mention i suck at anything else lol)
soyuz: language(s) you would like to learn?
chinese!! i’ve actually started learning 2 years ago but never continued with it because it’s just too hard !!! >:( i also can’t even speak my mother tongue fluently so i need to get that first before learning another one. the tones...are soooo !!! difficult !!!!! i’ve also learned french for 7 years but i sound embarrassing sigh
RCS: how do you stay focused and productive?
sigh...i’m the worst student ever. i just kinda guilt trip myself into studying like “you’re a burden if you don’t do good on xyz” or like just slap myself and get it over with yk? it’s not the best lmaoooooo
RD-270: Do you need silence to study? or do you like to listen to music? if so, what is your go-to study-playlist?
rarely, i like to listen to music 99% of the time. it’s either a random khh/krnb playlist with new songs i’ve never listened to, lofi, or piano music! sometimes i’ll listen to my own playlists but it’s distracting with songs i know lol
Raptor: do you study at home or do you prefer to study at the library/in cafés?
sigh, i hate studying outside. maybe that’ll change for me in the future. i’ve tried studying in the library and i got nothing good done. i’ve also never went to a cafe to study. although i do love the vibes, it’s usually too loud for me. i like being in the comfort of my own room :))
send me a space asks!

hey im a junior in high school and i was wondering, how do you choose a major that you're both passionate about and can find a job with decent pay in? thank you 💜💜
Research is very important !! My mistake was applying for chembio to my uni thinking it was biochem, but chembio was a whole different world from biochem, and is even located in a different college (as some unis may divide majors up into seperate colleges). I also came in declared rather than undeclared (my uni has a system where you need to declare your major after completing prereqs if you aren’t placed in a major in the college of chem, college of engineering, etc). This CAN affect your classes schedule, and I had more restrictions on what classes I have to take, which can be a bit frustrating. However, I was given more resources and opportunities in undergrad research and support as it is a small major, so that’s something you may consider!Note that it’s ok to be undeclared and try different classes until you find a subject that interests you! There are plenty of people who dont delcare until a few years in, so you won’t be alone in that. You can also switch majors if you ever find something else that sparks your interest! (although it may be harder to switch into some majors than others). For pre med students, you don’t necessarily have to be in stem to apply as well; it’s more so based upon a set of reqs that they have, so you can be an english major and still apply to med school. As for things you can do right now, some community colleges offer free college classes to highschoolers (within a certain unit cap) which is a great option for low income students or students who wish to simply explore classes. It’s a great chance to explore different subjects, and some can even be transferred to your uni later on and clear some prereqs, thus saving you some time! I personally did this and was able to clear all my non-major requirements (which is a total of 7 classes) before i even entered uni. In terms of pay, that can definitely be hard. I’ve had some friends who found a middle ground (ex, a lot of my artist friends decided to go into architecture instead of fine arts) so it really just boils down to research and what you personally can see yourself doing. Forcing yourself into something you hate can definitely burn you out, as I’ve experienced. 
Good luck on applications next year !! I hope everything goes smoothly for you ;;
