ೃ dating nagi seishiro
genre: fluff
pairing: nagi x fem!reader
note: aaa hello everyone this is my first fanfic here hehe hope you guys liked it :D this was longer than i thought it would be, but i hope you guys enjoy this teehee ; like, reblog, and follow for more!
Tumblr media
overall, you think dating nagi was one of the best things that have ever happened to you. although he isn't much of a talker, he would rather show his affection through his actions, and to be honest, you liked that better than talking. as someone who has a low social battery, you appreciate the way nagi would notice the tiny little things about you; noticing when you would get tired, needing something, or anything else that you thought wasn't important.
he would always surprise you in many ways, and that's one of the things that made you love him a lot. if he felt it, he would sometimes tease you, especially if you were shorter than him.
"you're so short, y/n, it's cute." he would say with a straight face that made you both annoyed and flustered by how he was towering over you (curse him and his 6'3 ass).
"nagi, shut up! i get it, you're tall. you don't have to rub it in my face all the time." you huffed, crossing your arms and avoiding eye contact because you know that if you were to make eye contact with him, it would just result in you breaking your annoyed facade.
"eh? but it's cute. you're so tiny i can just fit you in my pocket." you swear you've never wanted to strangle someone so bad in your life before.
-
the first time he's ever introduced you to reo, you were honestly a tiny bit scared of him. nagi has told you a lot about him, and although he seems like a really nice guy, the way he's staring down at you like he was trying to see through your soul kind of terrifies you, giving you a sense that he was overprotective over his best friend. but, as time goes on, you and reo would become close friends as well, sometimes gossiping about nagi behind his back (not in a bad way).
"look at him playing soccer, isn't he so cool?" you gushed, giving reo a small punch to his shoulder.
he gives you a pained look. "hey, come on! what was that for?" he turns his gaze towards nagi, amazed at the way he handles the ball. "yeah, aren't i so lucky to score a treasure like him?"
"excuse me, he's my boyfriend." you complained, puffing your chest out and letting out a small 'hmph'.
"yeah, yeah little miss possessive-over-her-crazily-good-at-soccer-boyfriend, i get it." reo teases, quickly moving away from you as you were about to punch him, for real this time.
"oh no you don't. GET BACK HERE, MIKAGE!" you yelled, chasing reo around (you gave up, of course. he's a soccer player, of course he'll be as fast as lightning).
instead of being jealous, nagi actually adores your friendship with reo. he likes that you were able to become friends with reo, just as he was friends with the boy.
-
jealous nagi happens once in a blue moon. he rarely gets jealous, and he doesn't really show it, so you wouldn't know he's jealous unless he speaks up about it.
you remember the way he got jealous when kaiser was playfully flirting with you. nagi didn't show it in his face, but the feeling of jealousy slowly made its way to his heart, making him feel... upset.
he quickly walked over to the both of you and draped his arms around your neck, resting his head on your shoulders.
"hm? sei, what's wrong? are you tired?" you asked, confused. he's never really done this move unless he was tired of walking around, yet you haven't been out for even an hour yet.
"no..." you hear him mumble, which honestly confuses you even more because he doesn't clarify what was going on.
kaiser can almost sense the jealousy coming from nagi, and he smirks. literally.
"say, y/n," he starts, and you turned your attention to him, making nagi even more upset. "are you free later this afternoon? i'd like to take-"
nagi was quick to move from his position so that he was standing in front of you this time, holding your hand tightly. "no, she isn't. she's going to be with me, so kindly fuck off."
"w-wait, nagi that's a bit-"
"let's go, baby. we're on a tight schedule, aren't we?" you guys weren't, but any excuses you were about to made evaporated into thin air with how fast nagi was walking while holding your hand.
-
within the enclosed space of your (or his) room, there isn't much difference in the way nagi acts towards you. maybe he's just a tiny bit more affectionate, but other than that, he's the same as the way he would on the outside.
cuddling with nagi is the best. you're like the perfect size for him to cuddle and basically engulf in his form. he would lay his head on top of yours, watching whatever was on your phone and he wouldn't complain even if it wasn't something he's interested in. he would notice when you were feeling sleepy, and when you do fall asleep, he would turn off your phone and place it on the bedside table, falling asleep as well. cuddling is almost mandatory for nagi every time it is just a relaxing day, because to nagi, just being able to hug you and be close to you is enough for him to be happy.
"nagi, move, i need to go pee," you let out a small laugh, adoring the way his lips formed into a pout. "i'll be back before you know it, i promise."
he reluctantly took his arm off of you. "hurry, i want to hug you again." you chuckled, kissing the top of his head softly.
when you returned, you see him hugging your pillow, fast asleep. honestly, this boy can never go a single minute without having his hands on you.
-
you could never get enough of seeing nagi play soccer. that was actually one of the reasons you were able to get to know him. you were on your way to class when your attention was taken by the boys on the soccer field. you didn't have much interest in soccer before, but seeing how nagi plays just hits different.
he looks beautiful on (and off) the field.
"h-hey, watch out-! duck!" the warning came a bit too late as seconds after that, a ball came flying at you and hits you in the face. honestly, you were lucky you didn't pass out from it, but the impact of the ball was enough to make your nose bleed.
nagi was the one who took you to the nurse's office, and to be honest, you both got along pretty well in the twenty minutes of being in the nurse's office.
you had to thank your past self for stopping by the soccer field that day, or else you wouldn't you and nagi would have never even met.

to find a cure | austinbutler
summary in which austin tries to find himself in the art of pottery, and instead, finds you wc 3,932 tw mentions of depression
note : aaa i saw the request @scrambled-eggs-y posted about this and i could not stop obsessing so i decided to write on the idea as well. go check out their fic, it’s linked here , it is phenomenal <<33 i hope u guys enjoy my rendition of pottery!austin !!
Tumblr media
It was amazing, how much stress he lived under every day for two years. Shooting Elvis was nothing short of a dream, one that Austin would be forever grateful for, but it wasn’t as pleasant as his mind had made it out to be at the beginning. The past two years had been so strenuous, so draining on him from the long hours and the consistent studying and learning of his role. It had taken a seriously heavy mental toll on the boy and it wasn’t until he was bedridden in a hospital in Queensland that Austin realized how serious it was. 
He got many texts and calls from friends and family, wishing him well and hoping that he would get better soon. He was admitted for a week, so by the time he returned home to LA he was feeling a lot better, physically. But there was still a pressure weighing down on him emotionally, and Austin wasn’t sure if treatments and doctors would help him this time. 
That feeling never truly went away— not for a long time, at least. It was almost a full year since he finished filming Elvis, and he’d tried to cope with his depression by throwing himself into his other projects, into his friends and family. He never took the time to work on himself, so when he was between jobs and had nothing to do but be by himself, he was miserable. And that was just the case in the early months of 2022. 
“You should try getting into art, or something,” a friend suggested to him. Austin had gone to one of his closest friends, Ashley Tisdale, for help, finally admitting defeat after a year of living with this unhealthy mindset. “You know, I heard painting is really therapeutic. Maybe you could try that? Or I heard about this new pottery class downtown. That could be nice.” 
Since the wrap on Elvis, Austin had reached a level of depression he’d never even known was possible. It could easily be described as imposter syndrome — he didn’t know who he was, who was living in his body, taking over his soul. He felt lost within himself, like he wasn’t Austin every morning he’d wake up. For nearly three years of his life he dedicated every conscious moment to becoming Elvis Presley, so having to adapt back to his old ways — his own ways — felt impossible. Elvis was all he knew for such an extended period of his life… It made sense that Austin had lost his own individuality in that process. 
But trying art as therapy? Austin almost laughed at that — sure, he was an actor, but he wasn’t big into the arts, like sculpting or painting. “Ashley, you know damn well I can barely even draw a stickman.”
“You don’t have to be good!” she assured him. “Just try it. I’ll go with you, if you want.”
It was about a week after that conversation when Austin called her up, swallowing his pride and asking if she would stay true to her word and accompany him. “You mentioned somethin’ ’bout a pottery class? I’ve never tried pottery… let’s do that.” It took a lot of strength to pull himself out of bed every morning. But Austin was big on trying new things — it was something that made him feel excited, encouraged him to step out of his comfort zone, and since filming Elvis he hadn’t found anything that made him feel like that again. So he felt good about this; he felt good about getting out of the house — and that surprised him more than anything. 
“I’m happy you wanted to do this,” Ashley said, smiling at the boy from the passenger seat of his car as Austin backed into a parking stall just a few blocks from the building she directed him to. “It’s good, seeing you out and about again. I was getting worried for a bit there.”
“Yeah,” he said, putting the car in park and shutting off the engine as he looked over at his friend. “Me, too. But I think this will be fun.”
They both got out of the car, walking across the parking lot. “I have a feeling you’re gonna suck at this,” Ashley teased, and Austin rolled his eyes as he slung an arm over her shoulder. 
“You’ve got just as much experience as me at this pottery thing, so you can’t say shit if I’m terrible.” He smiled. Ashley was someone who Austin held very close to his heart, and he had for a long time. She was truly the only person he trusted enough to go to if he was struggling, and this just proved his theory. She was his best friend, nothing more than that, and it made Austin happy knowing that he had such a good support network in times of need. 
He held the door open for her as they walked in and Ashley found the two of them seats near the back of the room. There were a few other people taking the class, some looked more experienced than others, but Austin didn’t feel nervous at all. He was excited— he loved trying new things, even if he had no clue what he was doing. He couldn’t even guess what half of the instruments in front of him were used for, and it was comical how confused Ashley looked beside him. They were both screwed — so what else could they do but laugh about it?
They put on the smocks hanging near the side of the room, after realizing everyone else was wearing them, and Austin rolled the sleeves of his shirt up to his elbows as he sat down at his station. 
“Okay, I think we can start.” The voice came from you, standing at the front of the room in a pair of light washed jeans and a tank top. You were tying a white smock around yourself, which had paint splatters and stains all over, and you had your hair tied up messily but somehow it looked perfect, within the imperfectness. You had soft features, a kind smile, and Austin genuinely believed that you were the prettiest girl he’d ever laid his eyes on. 
“Is she… is she the instructor?” He leaned over to Ashley, his gaze never falling off of you. 
“I think so.” Ashley looked over at Austin, who was too busy gawking at you to notice that his friend was watching him. Ashley grinned ear to ear at her realization, seeing the way his tongue darted out to wet his lips, his eyes seemingly sparkling at his admiration over you, a total stranger. “Oh my God.”
“What?” He snapped out of his trance, looking over at Ashley like nothing had happened. 
“You think she’s cute.” At her words, Austin felt himself blushing. And he was quick to defend himself, stumbling over his words and the heat in his cheeks only made it worse. At his nervousness, Ashley laughed. “You totally do! Oh, this is adorable.”
“Would you shut up?”
“Okay, first things first, who here has experimented with pottery before?” You, who Austin was marvelling over seconds before, were now drawing the attention of the class, taking a seat at the station in front of you. A few people around you raised their hands, but Austin and Ashley kept to themselves. “So the rest of you have no clue what you’re doing, then?”
Everyone laughed, but Austin was too distracted, unable to tear his eyes away from you. You were enchanting, your skin glowy and your eyes so soft and kind, as well as your smile. He couldn’t get over how adorable you looked — you were the human embodiment of the word sweet. “Well that’s all right. You’ll figure it out with the rest of us. So the first thing we’re gonna do is wet our hands and prepare our clay on the wheel.”
The class went by quicker than Austin expected, and for the whole hour he figured he’d only spent a total of two minutes not looking at you. You were ethereal, encouraging a feeling in Austin that he hadn’t experienced in a long time, and that was why when they were cleaning up at the end of the lesson, Austin turned to Ashley and asked if she wanted to attend next week’s class with him, as well. 
“Yeah, sure.” And that’s how Austin ended up as one of the class’s regular students, and by a month in, not only was Austin’s adoration for you growing, but he was actually becoming pretty good at the whole pottery thing. 
Currently he was attending a class without Ashley — she couldn’t find a babysitter for the night, and Austin assured her it was fine. He didn’t mind going alone, he quite enjoyed spending time by himself, and if he was being honest, he’d been trying to work up the courage for a while now to talk to you. Ashley continually teased him about it, and though he knew it was lighthearted, Austin really did like you. He wanted to talk to you, not just in passing or when you asked if he was doing okay with the lesson. He craved a real conversation, much like he’d been dreaming about since the day he saw you. Every night of his was spent excitedly going to bed, so he could fall asleep and make contact with the girl that mainly existed inside of his head. He’d never been so in love with the idea of someone before, and Austin was getting tired of only meeting you in his dreams. 
Austin was excited for this week’s class, a little bit more than all the others. He’d been planning to finally strike up a conversation with you, and once the day came, he couldn’t wait. 
So he showed up early. Only by a few minutes, but being in the vicinity helped ease his nerves a bit. It was funny, really, the contrast between the man he was now versus how holed up he had been only two months before. A pottery class, something that Austin never would’ve guessed he’d be frequently attending, was what saved him. A depressing spiral he was previously caught in, something that seemed would never come to an end, was easily prevented by a simple suggestion from a friend, something as silly as an art class. And now, he was working up the courage to ask out a girl, something he hadn’t even thought of since the beginning of his past relationship of nine years. He never really advanced towards a new one after their split two years before, never felt the need to nor did he meet anyone that he fancied, until laying eyes on you. It felt like love at first sight, and Austin was smart enough to realize that this was a feeling he didn’t want to let escape him just because he was a little scared.
The class started as it always did, with you welcoming the new students and saying hello to the returning ones. Today they were making vases, straying from the usual path of simple things like bowls or cups. The style that you wanted the class to try was a bit more advanced, with a slight curve and a weird shape to it. Austin was excited to try out his newfound skill, but the more he thought about it, he realized he would probably do anything you asked, realistically. It was humorous to him, how quickly he’d fallen for you when he didn’t know a single thing about you. Aside from your love for pottery, of course. That was something he found himself pondering a lot of the time when he dreamt of you — you were artistic, which was a trait that Austin loved. That meant you appreciated the beauty in things, you were creative and were such a kind, warm-hearted person. And this was just from what he gathered from the way you taught the class. There was so much more he was dying to know about you. 
About halfway through the class, you asked, “Okay, and how’s everyone doing?” You were walking the length of the room, peering in on certain people’s creations. Austin was working absentmindedly, his focus being more on you standing only a few feet away, admiring one of the older lady’s work. “Margaret, this is beautiful. I love the way you put your own spin on this.” And I love the way every single word sounds falling from your lips, he thought.
It was only a few minutes later before you came behind Austin, and he was momentarily embarrassed by the way his heart picked up so quickly at your presence. “This looks good,” you said, moving to stand beside him with your arms crossed. Austin watched as you chewed on your lower lip, eyes clouding over with thought before you bent down. “I feel like you might wanna add a bit more of a curve, though.” You placed your hand over his lightly, applying a slight pressure that caused Austin’s stomach to twist. By the speed at which his heart was racing, he was sure it was lethal. “There we go. Good job.”
You were gone as quick as you came and Austin focused the next few minutes on recuperating himself. It was child-like, the way you made him feel, the undeniable crush he had on you. But no matter how on-edge and starstruck he felt when you were around, he begged for the feeling back. 
It wasn’t long until the class was finishing up and they were putting their creations on the back shelf. Austin rinsed his hands off, drying them on his smock while he gave himself what seemed like the most important pep talk in the world. Just talk to her, he told himself, his eyes watching you as you cleaned up your station. She’s just a person. She’s not scary. Nothing can go wrong if you just say hi. 
Taking a deep breath, Austin made his way over. He owed this to himself. 
Nervously, Austin lifted the smock up and over his head, folding it once over before hanging it up. Then he turned on his heel, looking directly at you. “Hi,” he said. What the fuck was that?
“Hi! Austin, right?” 
God, you were so kind. The smile on your lips, forming perfectly on your face. It was as if the act of smiling was meant solely for you; you had perfected the art. Your eyes stared up at him like he was the only person in the world you cared to talk to. Austin’s heart thudded in his chest. “Yeah, yeah, you’re right. I’m Austin.” Shut up, shut up— but say something! “I just, uh, figured it’d be nice to talk to you when you’re not teaching me how to make clay into a bowl.” What the fuck was that?— for a second time!
“You know, that is my speciality,” you said with a laugh, and Austin found himself smiling way too much for the simple small talk the two of you exchanged. 
“Well you’re really good at it.”
“Thank you, Austin.” He loved the way his name sounded when you said it. Thankfully, you continued talking, saving him momentarily from having to come up with something. “You’re getting pretty good, too! I noticed you’re coming every week. Usually your girlfriend is with you— where is she tonight?”
Girlfriend? “Girlfriend?”
“The woman you always come with.”
Oh! Ashley. “Oh! Ashley. She’s—she’s not my girlfriend.” His cheeks were heating up and Austin prayed that the nervousness he felt wasn’t transferring onto his expression. “Just a close friend. She got me out of the house for the class.”
“Well that’s good,” you smiled, and Austin crossed his arms as he smiled back. “I’m glad you continue to come. So you’re single then?”
What? “What?” That was a quick jump.
“Usually I find that a lot of the people that come to these classes are married couples.” You were speaking while continuing to clean up now, and Austin helped you as best he could. “Pottery can be a very romantic thing, so it’s not unusual to bring your significant other to a class. You should bring them, you know, if you have a partner.”
“I don’t.”
“Oh.” You were speaking almost absentmindedly as you shoved things into drawers, wiping up the counter space. You kneeled down to grab a few paint brushes that had fallen to the ground before pausing, looking up at Austin. “This is gonna sound so weird, but I really feel like I’ve seen you before.”
Austin chuckled small, his hand moving to his jaw, his fingers playing with his lips, “I get that a lot.” You looked on at him, waiting for an answer. “I hate saying this because it makes me feel like just the biggest douchebag.” You laughed, and the sound was so pretty coming from your lips he had to answer. Maybe he could impress you. “I’m an actor.”
You snapped your fingers as soon as he said it, and Austin laughed. “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood! Oh my god, I can’t believe I didn’t clue in.” You stood up, and it was then that Austin became aware of the drastic height difference. You were a lot shorter than him, which he adored, and he couldn’t tell if the glimmer in your eyes was from the sudden change in conversation or if it was just a look you always had. “I’ve lived in LA for so long but it’s always surprising to me when I meet famous people.”
“I could say the same about people calling me famous,” he joked, and you smiled at him genuinely. 
“I can’t believe I didn’t know it was you. But then again, you’re almost unrecognizable in that role. I loved that movie — Quentin Tarantino is one of my favourite directors. And for him to dip into the Charles Manson story, I just… that was such a great film. I loved Brad’s character, he was so complex and, like, the whole bit about Charlie’s deciples, I mean…” You rambled on about the film, hardly mentioning anything about Austin’s role, which was definitely something he noticed but it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. He loved that you didn’t talk about him at all, actually, and instead enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the film itself. “Quentin had such a good take on Once Upon a Time, Leo’s whole bit and how he tied Sharon Tate into it… I can’t imagine anyone else telling the story in a different way than he did. But I mean, he’s always—” You’d been going on for maybe about three minutes before realizing Austin hadn’t even gotten a word out, and your cheeks instantly turned a slight shade of pink. “I’m sorry.”
Austin was smiling, chuckling as he stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the counter behind him. 
“I can’t believe I just went on for, like, ten minutes about a movie you’re literally in. Like you didn’t know anything I just said. Oh my god.” You were rambling again, and Austin found it charming. “This probably happens to you all the time. I’m so sorry. This is embarrassing.”
“No, no, it’s okay,” Austin reassured you, and you looked up at him as if to say, you sure? “I love hearing people’s thoughts on the film. It’s one of my favourite movies, too. I’m a huge fan of Quentin’s work, so I understand. I mean, I was completely fangirling the whole time over him.”
Your cheeks were pinkish, and you smiled small. An awkward silence settled over the two of you and it was almost thirty seconds before you spoke up again. “You know, next class I’m thinking of trying mugs.”
“Like coffee mugs?”
“Mhm,” you nodded. “They’re a bit difficult, though.” Austin licked his lips as he listened to you speak, and the way your eyes flickered down to his mouth didn’t go unnoticed. “The, uh, the handles are the tricky part.”
He hummed, meeting your eyes when you looked back up to them. You gulped silently, lips curling into one another as you pressed them into a thin line. He couldn’t be making up the tension between the two of you. 
“Will you be here next week?” you asked, shifting back and forth between the balls of your feet and your heels as you waited for an answer. Austin nodded, and the softest smile grew across your cheeks. “Okay. Then I guess we will be making mugs.”
“I’d say I’d better come prepared, but I don’t really have the facilities to practice at home.” Austin didn’t know what he was hinting at, but it was something. And thankfully, you caught on. 
“I teach other classes so, um, maybe you would wanna drop in at some point this week and use the wheels here?”
“You’d let me?” He was grateful that you had offered, because if he was being honest, Austin had no clue where he was going with the rest of the conversation. It made him feel a lot better knowing that this wasn’t just his idea, but that you wanted to see him, as well. 
“I don’t see why not. If it’s strictly for practice, that is.” You gave him what seemed to mirror a firm look, and Austin smiled at your playful seriousness. 
“Of course.”
“Okay. Then drop by any time,” you said, stepping back slightly as you grabbed your jacket off the back shelf. When you spoke, you glanced back at him over your shoulder, making eye contact the whole time. “I teach classes on Thursday from five until nine pm, if that’s not too late for you.”
“Nine is perfect. Let me walk you out.”
After grabbing his things, the two of you exited the building. Austin held the door open for you like a gentleman, reaching above your head to push it open from behind, and you thanked him once you stepped out. He watched as you took out your keys to lock the door of the shop, Austin stuffing his hands in his pockets while he waited. 
“Where’s your car?” he asked. 
“Just up here on the left,” you answered, and Austin walked you to your vehicle. Once you arrived at the small sedan, which beeped from the unlocking of the doors, you looked up at him with a smile. “Thank you for walking me out.”
“Oh, don’t thank me for that. Common courtesy.” He gave you a smile.
“I’ll see you on Thursday?” you confirmed, and Austin nodded, reaching over to open your door for you. 
“See you on Thursday.”
Smiling, you silently thanked him before ducking into your car, and Austin closed the door for you. He crossed the street to his own vehicle, watching as you drove away in yours, and the warm feeling that enclosed his heart wasn’t something he was afraid of, but something he embraced. 
The past year was harder for Austin than any other time in his life. Depression was something he combated on a daily basis now and it was extremely difficult for him to move past that feeling of being lost within himself. But there was something about taking this class that made it just a little bit easier for Austin to climb out of the hole he’d been stuck in for so long. And now, after speaking to you for maybe ten minutes, he realized it was you. You were the cure that he needed to this awful sickness he’d fallen ill to, and he was finally starting to feel a little bit better. It’d been years since he felt that, better, but finally he did. And it was all thanks to you.

i wanna start a luke hughes au!! (also the new pics on his insta?? it’s so tsitp vibes 😛😛) (& i’m not giving up on will + daisy, just trying something new!)
i’ll finish the rest of the will + daisy asks before starting the au!!
thinking about…
best friends to lovers ?!
after college, they’re both famous .. (read a little more to find out why 😛)
theyve known each other since birth bc their parents are best friends
they go to umich together
her name is mabel patterson (i just love that name - it’s so cute, it gives tree hugger x granola girl)
she has brown hair, dark green eyes, freckles, dimples, average height, wavy hair but more like beach waves, her hair is long
she’s very outdoorsy, loves to swim (she’s on the swim team in hs + at umich), loves hiking, obsessed with the beach - she always has sand in her hair or on her clothes, she loves flowers, painting, fruit, reading, poetry, she drives a white jeep rubicon (quinnifer taught her how to drive!), loves lorde + taylor swift
she’s liked luke since she was little (like MASSIVE crush) but got over him during high school (junior year because he took a different girl to prom & it broke her heart - she vowed to never like him again)
he starts liking her the summer before college
they get together that summer (really doubling back on her vows, huh?) and are a couple by the time college starts
she’s does socials (monday q’s) + graphics (insta posts) for the hockey team (overused but i love it)
she has a brother named seth that’s the same age as jack. seth and jack r besties
quinn is like her older brother - she always goes to him for advice
she majors in communication and media with a minor in gender, race, and nation (my girl is a feminist!!) & second minor in creative writing
luke leaves to play for the devs & mabel stays at umich to finish off college
she doesn’t move to new jersey with him but moves to nyc because she published a book during college and it blew up so she’s a famous author???? like jenny han style
i can see her books having movies + shows (and she could be like the director or the producer of those shows mmm so greta gerwig + jenny han) and luke comes to the premieres with her and he comes as mabel’s bf instead of famous hockey player luke hughes & it’s so cute
like everyone love mabel because she’s this amazing author & they love luke because he’s this super awesome hockey player - they’re the definition of a power couple!!!
so many details, so many little things, & i’ll elaborate more on it all later!! aaa i’m so excited 4 this!

Questions for Writers...Characters Edition!
Hi ho what's the dealio! We're back again....with another tag game? I'm outrageous XD! Kidding kidding! But seriously, I'm bored and have a lot to do but no spoons to do them...so I'm doing a tag game instead! Woop woop! And this time, it's a question for writers...characters edition!
As always, I will be tagging my besties @bleepbloopbotz @udaberriwrites @mrsmungus @sliebman10 @fattybattysblog @tsunderesalty @aislinnstanaka @justanotherpersonwhowrites @0nelittlebirdtoldme @mikaharuka @oceangirl24 @lena-hills @kayedium-writes @bees-and-sunshine @danceswithdarkspawn! And of course, open tag to whoever wants to join in!
Now! On to the questions!
🌹 Who is your favorite character? And why?
Trucy! I love Trucy, she is my darling baby. I love her because not only is she silly and chaotic and optimistic, but she's also emotionally complex and intelligent. In my honest opinion, she's the perfect assistant/co counsel for the WAA. Don't get me wrong, I love Ema and Maya! But they really perfected it when they made Trucy.
🌹 Go to all your works on AO3, and on the filters side bar, click the drop-down arrow for “Characters.” Who are your top 5 most written characters?
Naruhodou Ryuuichi | Phoenix Wright (41)
Mitsurugi Reiji | Miles Edgeworth (37)
Ayasato Mayoi | Maya Fey (33)
Karuma Mei | Franziska von Karma (32)
Odoroki Housuke | Apollo Justice (23)
Huh! I expected Trucy to be much higher on that list. Legitimately surprised that Apollo had her beat XD. But yep! These are my top five written characters! Phoenix in the lead damn. You go Phoenix!!
🌹 What characters do you wish you wrote more?
Honestly? A lot! But the two I'll be choosing are Maggey Byrde and Adrian Andrews. Idk why I don't write them much, I do like them enough and they're friends with the characters. I've only written Adrian in one fic and Maggey...never? Which is a shame! Cause these characters rock!
🌹 Which characters do you think you write well?
None. I'm bad at writing all of them
Ahem, I mean. Maya and Franziska, definitely. I think I've written these two so many times that I subconsciously get them, and excuse me if that sounds like bragging XD.
🌹 Which characters do you think you could improve on writing?
Honestly? Klavier. I do like how I write him, but I feel that I write him...too sane? If that makes any sense? I definitely don't write the more absurd parts of his character too much. And I also don't leverage his popularity/rockstar status enough. Idk, XD.
🌹 What character did you at first hate/dislike, but then grew to like/love?
Franziska. I thought she was kinda mean at first. But then I wrote her some more, fleshed her out and got to know her more as a person...and I grew to love her. Yours Truly, Franziska von Karma did accelerate how much I loved her. It was so fun getting into her psyche in that fic, and dear god did it make me love her more XD.
🌹 Which character did you immediately like/love the moment you saw them?
We all know who this is. Trucy, of course! I knew the moment I saw that little ray of sunshine that I'd love her, and I have! She is so amazing and cute and smart and funny and AAA! I just love her so much! Idk what it is about her, I just adore Trucy.
🌹 Which character voice do you have the most fun writing?
Franziska and Maya's. (These two really come in a package, don't they? XD). I like writing Franziska's dialogue cause I like her blunt and formal way of speaking, that's always fun! And I like writing Maya's dialogue cause it's casual and friendly, but never takes away from seriousness if she needs to be serious. If that makes sense XD.
🌹 What character voice do you have the least fun writing?
Any of the AA characters with obnoxiously "smart" or "deep" vocabularies. So Wesley Stickler, Richard Wellington, and Redd White. I swear, I hated writing White's dialogue in Turnabout Camaraderie, and I know I'll hate writing Wellington and Stickler's dialogue.
🌹 Which character do you feel like you’re the most similar to?
Hmmm. None? XD. But if I had to pick, I'd pick Maya. Maya I feel matches my excitable energy, though I don't usually steal from crime scenes XD or get accused of murder. If I ever get a spiky haired lawyer friend then I'll let y'all know!
🌹 Which character do you feel like you’re the least similar to?
Apollo. Apollo is detail oriented and perceptive and I am the...opposite of that lol. He's also very snarky, and while I love that for him, I feel I'm too excitable to be snarky XD.
🌹 Quick! Pick a character and then have them make an AITA post on Reddit, why did they make it and are they the asshole?
UUUUUUHHHH
MILES
And he's asking if he's the asshole for trying to get Phoenix thrown in jail for the murder of his mentor.
(Spoiler alert, he's the asshole)
That's all! To all my besties answering this game and to all the potential players who I didn't tag...have fun!

Rescue us from the worst birthday!
Tumblr media
My wife, Terana ( @im-a-blackstar​ ), and I --two humble queers-- set out to have a nice vacation for our birthdays and 3 year anniversary. We decided to go to Florida to go to Halloween Horror Nights, a horror convention, and visit my mother (who has been having a rough time the last few years). All did not go well and we need help. 
The brakes went out on our car due to ABS unit failure ($2070)
My mother’s car’s timing belt broke on the highway ($500+)
My mother’s car was towed and impounded ($500+)
We need to buy my mom a new car ($1500)
We had to get an emergency flight home ($600)
We need to fly back to FL to pick up our car and drive home ($300)
Unrelated and not included in total: Our heating fuel and car insurance bills are due ($1500) 
Needed: $4470   Recieved: $2050
If you can help at all it would be amazing! Even just a reblog!
Venmo: @NixHunter
CashApp: $DoktorNix
Keep reading for the full, ridiculous story of how my birthday went. 
Our trip started out lovely! We were staying in a nice resort in Orlando, we went to see a Gorillaz concert, and the convention was fun! Then, on my birthday, we drove down to Melbourne, FL to visit my mother and have dinner with some of my old friends. (Yay, more good times!)
On the way back to my mother’s house from dinner, the brakes gave out on my 4Runner. (Boo. Super bad times!) I was able to coast it into a gas station parking lot and we requested a tow through AAA. After 3 hours of waiting and calling repeatedly, it became clear there were no tow companies open at that hour of the night (I had so many slurpees at that 7-11 where we waited). We decided to leave the car and come back in the morning. To save us the cost of an uber, my mom agreed to come pick us up and take us to her house just 20mins away. 
On the way to my mother’s house, just 1 mile from her exit, her car stopped getting gas. It started slowing down and we pulled off on the side of the highway where it gave out completely and would not start again. We called a friend and got a ride the rest of the way to the house. It was officially a very shitty night. 
In the morning, we took an uber back to the 7-11 to get our car. We got a tow from AAA to a mechanic my mother uses. The mechanic told us the ABS unit had gone out and repairs would be $2k and take a week to do. Super. We had to be back home in 4 days for work and because our dog sitter would be leaving. Mild panic attacks ensued. 
We went back to my mom’s house and waited for a friend to get off work so we wouldn’t have to guide an uber driver to a random spot on the side of the highway. We drove out to her car and called her roadside assistance. We were then informed (wait for it) that no tow trucks were available after 5pm. We took a picture of the sticker highway patrol had put on her car saying she had 48hrs to remove the car, then went back to her house. 
In the morning, we got a very expensive uber back to our hotel ($100, but if we didn’t get back that morning for a timeshare pitch, they would have doubled the cost of our room). While we listened to a sales pitch we couldn’t afford and didn’t want, my mom got another ride to her car. Or tried. When she got there, the car was gone and had been taken to impound. 
Mom called to argue that the sticker said she had another day to move it, and after being transferred through several people, she was told the fine print said if she was on a “low access highway” (I still don’t know what this means) she only had 6hrs to move (with the lack of tow companies and time of night we stopped, this would have been literally impossible). Now she was stuck with a $400 cost to get the car out of impound. 
Meanwhile, Terana and I still needed to get home! We put out a call for help and gathered some funds. We decided to try and rent a car since we had so much luggage. We checked apps and called around most of the day and found out that no car lots in the area would rent a car to go out of state. We would have to take a plane. (You have no idea how much I hate flying.) 
The cheapest way to get a flight home was going to require we also  add a night to our hotel stay. Altogether this was over $600, but still cheaper than an earlier flight with our amount of baggage. Things continued to suck. 
We put out a call for help on our Facebook pages and we were able to get enough money for the hotel stay, the flight, and a portion of the repair fees. (We are very lucky to have good friends!) We made it home in time for work and to relieve our dog sitter. 
Now, however, we still need to get back to Florida and get the repaired 4runner from the shop and drive it back to NC. My mother has had her car inspected and found the timing chain went out. No clue what other damage it may have done. Impound fees have now mounted to over $500 and repairs will be a $500 minimum. Her car only cost $1000. She plans to leave the car in impound, but they still want $300 (at least) if she abandons it and she will need another car. My mother lives on social security and I have to send her around $500 a month just to cover her basic bills... I will have to help buy her a car. 
Any help at all is appreciated and I thank you if you even just managed to read all of this. I am in constant panic mode right now and don’t know how we’re going to make it through this. It is already an expensive time of year when we need to pay $1000 for heating fuel for the year and $500 for car insurance.

BTTF Year-End Tag Game!
AAA THANK YOU @cheriboms AND @bttf-dork FOR TAGGING ME!!
This year:
How many times would you guess you watched the first back to the future movie?
Too many times to count...
Did you get any sweet bttf merch? If so, what!
Yes! BTTF Playmobil advent calendar and an off-brand Funko pop Doc!
How many cans of Pepsi Free did you chug this year?
Pepsi free? None. Normal Pepsi on the other hand.... Over 50 cans for sure.
What was a favorite bttf fanfic you read this year?
There were so many good ones, but if I had to choose... I choose 3!
Oh, How the World has Changed by @itsthemorph I just love the idea of Clara in 1985, even if it's only one chapter, I am sure the other parts will be great :)
June of Doom: let the Suffering Begin by @unknooooow. Now these ones are dark. They have become my Roman Empire, so I think about it once every few days. But again, I love angst, especially realistic. :)
Double Visions by @daryfromthefuture. While there were many good ones this one stuck out due to it having the talk of Citizen Brown (the not-so-silly doc). And it's also very touching and captures the friendship spirit greatly!
A favorite bttf fanart you saw this year? (please give us a link, not a screencap/repost!)
AGAIN MANY GOOD ONES.
this one by @future-boi LITTLE MARTY LITTLE MARTY
this one by @maxintime Cause Browns my beloved <3
this one by @bttf-dork (do u have any idea how long it took for me to find it, I thought I imagined it) THE COLORS, THE SHAPES AAA.
This one by @cheriboms The silly, the goofy, the little Baby Emmett (I WILL EAT THE FANART)
Did you create any bttf fanart or fanfic? If you did, what one(s) are you proudest of?
My time to shine :) /j
I am especially proud of June of Doom chapter 11 (Better known as Doc Has a Stroke literally). It took me two months to write, and it is still the longest one chapter I ever wrote (3k words). Also! I am afraid of hospitals and blood, so I have no idea how I wrote it. Also believe it or not, it was inspired by the animated series...
One more writing project I am proud of is Alteration. It is not because of how much I wrote, but how much I am still planning, and how many Ideas I have for it. I have every single detail planned :)
With art it's a bit more tricky. Since I am not THAT proud of any of them, but BTTF 2 end scene redraw is still one of my favs :)
How many times were you late for school this year?
At least three times, due to reasons outside of my control. But I hate being late.
Did you watch any other movies/tv shows with BTTF actors in them?
My Favourite Martian (1999) Where Lloyd plays an Alien. I watched it because of my silly alien doc au. And I had an amazing angst idea out of it (I wrote it for June of Doom)
That is about it...
Was there a memorable moment you heard a Huey Lewis song this year?
In the car. My parents are tired of me ranting about BTTF so Imagine me (not a singer) scream-singing Back In Time. :DDD
How many times did you fall down this year?
Honestly, either I didn't. Or I did too many times to count. Cause I don't remember
Did you get to see BTTF: The Musical? What was your experience like!
No...
How many times did your mom retell the story of how she and your father met?
Not many, maybe once.
If you could describe your year in a BTTF quote, which one would it be?
This one is the toughest.
It will either be "I repeat, Verne, this is a fool's errand." "Does that mean you're coming?" I always tagged along when I knew my friend was making a dumb decision.
Or “Why do we have to cut these things so damn close?”
⚡️LIGHTNING ROUND⚡️ Did you get to: go on any trains, skate on a skateboard, ride a horse, drive a Delorean, run in the rain, go to a dance, hang up a clock, play the guitar, pull an all-nighter, read science fiction, or drive thru Burger King this year?
To the dance, I even went as Marty McFly. (Even if it was 80' themed I did not win, they did not get the joke :(
Your future is whatever you make it! So what are you going to make of this coming year?
More art. Even more angsty fanfiction :)
I am tagging @unknooooow and I believe everyone else has been tagged. Maybe @jayisnotdrawing @bri-to-the-future @brinkle-brackle and @bentothefuturee @pine-killer55
Game by: @mjf-af

Hey there,
It's been a while hasn't it? 2 whole years is a long time to be gone, so to those of you who remember me, don't worry I'm alive and well! Or as well as I can be, and to those who don't remember or don't know me, hi there! My name is Ender, or at least that's what most people know me for.
I'm the first anon who tecnically originated the whole Unsung Falls thing, if any of you remember it, I'm also the one who kinda made the named anon things so prominent in this blog.
Now that most of you are familiar with me, you're probably wondering what happened, where I've been, the whole shee bag. Well, for starters, I'd like to apologize for just vanishing for 2 years straight, I hope I didn't freak anyone out during that time.
But explaining what happened, well, the entire thing started when I was at the peak of my hyperfixation with dsmp, I found Loudly's blog and started interacting from there, but I was starting to fall out of interest with the fandom, and when Technoblade passed away, well... I couldn't hold myself much longer in the fandom, and I started drifting away from a lot of things I used to enjoy.
Then life happened, and life is still happening, I started learning more abaut myself and dealing with a lot of personal things, specially abaut my gender identity, remember when we joked abaut Ranboo stealing our genders? Yeah, guess that wasn't much of a joke after all (this little egg finally got out of the shell 🏳️‍⚧️!). Another things is that I've been researching for my first big scale school project that I have to present untill the end of the year, so yeah, I've been busy.
But just because I've been busy dosen't mean I forgot abaut this blog, I've made incredibly good memories here, and I've met amazing people as well, specially the blog owner, you were a big inspiration and motivation to pursue my little writing streak Loudly.
And don't think I've forgotten abaut any of you Unsung Falls anons, I may not remember all of your names, but I do have many found memories with all of you, and belive me when I say that you all made an impact bigger on me than any of you will ever know.
I'm not sure if I'll be back fully or not, I might drop by every once in a while, but I'm not sure, but what I am sure is that I won't ever forget this blog or any of the people in it. I might move on from the fandom, but I'll always remember every single one of you with a smile on my face.
Besides, I'm always lurking around in this blog, even when I couldn't interact much, so don't worry, I'll still be here even if you can't see me.
I don't see this as a goodbye, I see this as a "see you around", because that's what I hope will happen son.
See you around Unsung Falls!
From a young Farlander and aspiring writer
– Ender Anon/⟒⋏⎅⟒⍀ ⏃⋏⍜⋔💜🤍
ENDER!!!! :")
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OH MY GOD, OUR BELOVED HI!!! Oh I missed you, we missed you, god two years hi. This feels like the end of a season finale where a character last seen in like season one appears and the crowd goes wild.

Congrats on the gender btw🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️!!! holy shit so epic!!!! And your project, and your writing!! aaa, incredible soso cool, you're doing fantastically and I'm so proud of you.

Guess who’s awake again. It’s me. And I just want to repeat how good you are at foreshadowing and setting up the pieces. Like Jack pushing Tommy had been building for a while as this quiet annoyance and snidy remarks, but I didn’t realise what was going to happen until [In the corner of his eye, Wilbur noticed Jack lean over to whisper something in Niki’s ear. She nodded once, her face unreadable.]. This was the point where everything clicked into place and I had to pause to come scream in you inbox. Because this is the moment the plan forms in their heads, before that they were just kinda hoping Tommy’s lungs would kill him in that passive, “I’m not going to kill him, but I’m also not going out of my way to save his life, let alone risk my own while doing it” kinda way.
And it’s so obvious what they’re about to do and Wilbur is completely blindsided by it because he’s been so focused on Tommy the entire time that he either missed all the signs or didn’t care to interpret them. And it’s just, the narrative has been quietly building towards this for quiet some time, but I didn’t realise this was how it was going to end until the last ask I sent before chapter 27 when your “Niki will remember that” line suddenly snapped into place with actual canon. But it was always going to end this way. It’s the only way it could have ended.
Also, congratulations, Bee! You are now 4/4 on getting very close to killing major characters, but having everything turn out okayish in the end. And reading Wilbur’s breakdown was so much fun even though I’d already figured out what was going to happen. Just another thing to show what an amazing writer you are. It didn’t feel too drawn out if you knew, but it’s still long enough to make it plausible and let it have that emotional weight.
I’m skipping over the Priest and Schlatt, but I’ll get to those in the proper analysis. Just know that when Schlatt showed up I realised that we had only had 2/3 of the major scene and it hit me like a train. I really did get everything I wanted out of this chapter. Also, you managed to make me feel bad for Schlatt for 0.5 before I remember that he is an asshole who still could have tried. So good job.
I’ll probably write the analysis in my notes like I did with Stars and send them in in batches. So you’ll probably get those in a few days, because I’m about to dissect this entire chapter like a surgeon.
-🌲
aaa thank you spruce!! god yeah I've been building up to jack murdering tommy for a WHILE. it's been something I just wanted to leave in the background to brew, reminding the readers that yeah, jack and niki have held this grudge for a while. it never went away. and sure they weren't actively planning to murder him, but if the opportunity arose they were certainly going to take it.
niki will remember that :) yeah that was funny to me
and yes wilbur doesn't notice because he's so focused on so many other things! it's incredibly obvious to us as the readers but he just doesn't realize. not to mention, despite knowing that tommy did it to jack first and knowing how pissed both he and niki are about it, and knowing that niki and jack have the same kind of friendship he and tommy have, he never REALLY thought that niki would do something like that. jack? maybe yeah. but niki? his niki? his closest friend besides tommy? it just wasn't something he ever seriously considered. she wouldn't hurt him like that. she's niki.
god you're right I really do nearly/do kill a major character at the end of every long fic of mine. oops. didn't mean for that to be a theme.
I'm so glad you enjoyed that though. the main reason for tommy's brush with death was more about wilbur being forced to confront and make a decision both about his own faith and tommy's. he forcibly pulls tommy away from his goddess, while also finally shouting everything he's wanted to shout at his own goddess. he's truly done after this.
HA YEAH you think things are over and then boom schlatt appears and you realize oh yeah bee said there were 3 scenes she was excited for :) I'm very glad you got the conflicting feelings of feeling bad for him for a second before remembering what a dick he is
i'm soooo excited to hear all your thoughts spruce

25. Have you ever upset yourself with your own writing?
Oh god absolutely. "Say so" was actually written very slowly overtime in a discord dm! Purely bc i would get very sad while working on it :') I've gotten myself with feels a few times but that one in particular was rough on me
I usually stick to writing fluff and/or smut bc i do not handle angst very well jejfkek i actually once got sent home early from work bc i read a sad angst fic on my break and couldn't stop sobbing (rip to my old manager she probably thought someone had died or something OWNFJWKDJ)
20. What’s a favorite title for a fic you’ve written?
I really loved "Fish out of water" i thought i was pretty clever with it kwkdkekfke
However my favorite fic title is for one not posted yet, but its called "Hold Your Breathe (And Count the Days)" and if you understand that reference, i love you KEKFKEKF
6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?
SOBS oh god okay i could say SO many, but i don't wanna flood this ask with a massive list (but if anyones interested in a fic rec list from me plz!!!! I am blessed to have so many amazing friends that are fantastic writers and id love to shout them all out)
But off the top of head! I have reread the tanzen fic "An Almost Perfect Lie" by butterfree?? I want to say? Like a million times. Thats actually the fic that made me cry so hard i got sent home OWKCKWKFKDK but legit its a beautiful fic especially if you like angst with a happy ending!!

Tagged: WIP Game
The Game: Make a new post and post your latest line from your WIP & tag as many people as there are words. Please, I don't know enough people for that, but each of them is worth more than a thousand words, how's that?
"You are the ones we, we discarded our humanity for! F-for the people. Now I understand it." He gripped the hilt on his sword tighter, yes now he could understand it. No, now he could feel it. To have someone believe in you, to have someone to protect. Those were lord Wagnas and Lord Noel's convictions, not his. Not until now.
Tagged by: @celestialspark Thank you for the tag! :D this was fun to do and I thankfully didn't forget, so sorry my brain is garbage these last couple of months... aaa and now I had to dig out a fanfiction idea I had buried deep into the pits of WIPlandia :D;; It's SaGa inspired and maybe one day I'll be brave enough to finish and post it somewhere.
Tagging: @dragonwithgoggles @jasleh @civveon @palastel @jitterzart @spotofmummery @valde-draesia tagging my amazing writing friends who make word magic!

Had the closest game i’ve had so far while learning Sisters in WH40K 10e. Lost due to a combination of factors but it was still a really good game. I learned a lot about how sisters work as an army, how their units interact with the enemy’s, and how to exploit their advantages and minimize their weaknesses. Key takeaways are:
1. Crusaders and Pengines are fucking amazing lmfao. Crusaders are incredible targets for the Suffering stratagem and can generate a staggering victory point value for their cost, Pengines you can just ram up anything’s ass at a high velocity and tie it up in melee or you can Tank Shock. I was playing at 1k points and even just 3x2 units of Crusaders and 3x1 units of Pengines forced my Necron playing friend to play at my tempo. Having so many units also means I had more deployment chances which means a more flexible deployment. Having so many units i could trash meant more miracle die for meltaguns and guaranteed charges.
2. Adepta Stratagems are unbelievably good. Suffering and Sacrifice lets you dump massive amounts of enemy damage into a black hole. I forgot to use it but Light of the Emperor lets you ignore -1 to Hit/Wound (which would’ve been helpful against those fucking LYCHGUARD AAA). Divine Intervention makes solo character units such a bitch to clear (and i just had the thought you could abuse the enhancement that gives you bonus miracle dice with that huh). Holy Rage makes even CCW sisters melee semi-decent and drives good melees in sisters bonkers.
3. Sisters Epic Heroes are hella goated. Daemonifuge is a great assassin unit, Triumph brings so much utility and melee power, Junith Eruita as a leader brings lots of survivability with -1 to Hit and bonus CP.

Ok the pets how ever you see them most affectionate to least and why?
Before I start, I just wanted to say that my academic year starts tomorrow so I'll be probably less active (not that I'm super duper active here in the first place lol). But if you, my dear anon, or anyone else sends asks, which I still very much love keep em coming, the waiting time for me to respond might be longer. We will see! Now that I complained enough we go to the actual response from the most to least affectionate:
Penny once again takes first place, probably unsurprisingly. Damn, girl just takes all the W's. So yeah, does she even need an explanation? She love physical contact, mostly hugs but almost anything works for her, if she knows you, you don't ever have to ask, just hug her, hold her hand, kiss her on the cheek, etc. If you read that and remember, I once said that she even remembers all her closest friends' preferences when it comes to hugging. Not only that but others naturally often want affection from her or give it to her, she's soft (bc chubby), warm, nice, and of course likes it. And of course she always has a word of reassurance or a compliment ready.
Zoe. She likes affection, romantic more but platonic absolutely as well. Her favourites are hugs and kisses, especially the latter. If you're her romatic partner then be ready for a lot of those and preferably return them as well. She likes kissing people in general, while lips are reserved for that romatic partner, cheeks, foreheads and noses are all fair game for her to kiss. Plus, she gives them to more people than just her closest people. It's her default way of greeting, so if you introduce someone to her that she absolutely doesn't know, she will introduce herself and give a polite cheek kiss (that depends on the person's age though, she won't go kissing a child like that bruh). Also those butt slaps I mentioned once, they are a legitimate sign of affection too, though she's way more careful with those of course. Another type of affection she has are pet names: darling, honey, etc.
Minka. Her style is more "agressive" though. She will rush at you to hug you or straight up jump at you and count that you will catch her. Once she's hugging you she will most likely slightly jump in place, not enough to break the hug though. Honestly, she will do that with everything, especially hand holding. If they are running to somewhere it is guaranteed that she will grab as many hands as possible and rush with them, it's affectionate and useful since she's pretty fast too. Speaking of that jumping at people, she also likes sitting on others' shoulders and will unexpectedly climb onto you to do it, one moment she's not there, another she just is. She mostly does that with Sunil and Penny though because they're the tallest. But! She also loves picking others up, the problem is that she's of small stature, so the only ones she can realistically pick up are Russell and Vinnie, on a good day Pepper and Zoe are also possible. Her favourite way to hold others is bridal style :). Plus, she loves cheering on her friends or others, no matter what, they can be performing on stage in front of audience but they might as well be cracking an egg, "Wohoo, Rusty! You cracked that egg good!" "It's just... cracking an egg." "Yeah! Exactly! You go!"
Vinnie. He's basically a constant fight between "Aaa I want affection and I love my friends so much, grrr I want touch and love" and "Stars above that's embarassing", visual representation :
Tumblr media
I tried. It's more complicated with physical affection but when it comes to compliments etc he has way less shame. Hells yeah he will compliment others a lot, like "Yes, this painting is amazing!" and "Sunil stop, this was genuinely incredible", "Let's fucking gooooooo!" So yeah, he compliments others a lot, because they need to know how great they are, goddammit! When it comes to touching though, he's way more hesitant and won't initiate it that often. If someone else does however, he will never be the one to let go first because he's got that comfirmation that this someone wants it since they started it, and he loves physical affection so much, he's going to prolong it as much as possible. In fact, once he's this comfortable you might need to use your whole strenght to make him let go, he's not strong himself but damn he's determined. The one kind of it that he doesn't hesitate about it giving pats as well as sitting on his friends' shoulders etc (so like Minka). He's climbing there and he's staying there, if you have to go to the toilet, too bad, you're going with him sitting on you.
5. Sunil. Needs a bit more of a reason to be affectionate, but absolutely can. He's just a bit reserved, likes being affectionate to others and loves being on to receiving end, it can help him calm down and feel like he's not alone. Him giving it is mostly limited to the ones he's closest to, so his friends but his parents as well for example. At times he can absolutely smother a selected few with affection, he just needs to be in the right mood. The one type of hug that he loves giving the most is hugging from behind since most people are shorter than he is so he can rest his head on their head or shoulder. If he's affectionate with his words he's not letting out a rush of sentences, it's usually just focused on one thing and those are usually accompanied by a happy few claps.
6. Russell. He's just not that affectionate, especially physically, it's just not his style plus he's a bit insecure about pda, in private it's fine. He likes it and all, but not as much as the previous ones. He would much rather express his affection or gratitude with words and he's used to it. As their sorta leader he's used to saying stuff like "Good job!" or "Mhm, we all managed once again." He has a tendency to hug others when he's happy though and it's mostly on instinct, he doesn't really control it. But that all makes it so much more special when he does give you physical affection, when it comes to receiving it he will be very happy but also a bit bashful, you might even see a blush.
7. Pepper. She like being on receiving end of physical or any other affection more than she lets on, she really does, she just won't say it and it's rare she will initiate it. Because of that, if let's say the hug is prolonging she will always let go first, usually accompanied by some sort of comment, like: "Alright, alright, that's enough of that mushy stuff, haha." When it comes to giving affection, for the same reasons she's hesitant and, as I said, will rarely initiate it and those will usually be patting your back or ruffling your hair. When it comes to words of affection, she will often disguise them so she won't sound "too sweet", so she won't say for example "Good job out there!" more likely it will be something like "That definitely wasn't the worst!." She genuinely means those words in a good way though and always will accompany them with a playful smile so you know that, and once you know her enough you'll realize that's just her way of complimenting others.
Yipee! Affectionate babies. They are all my babies
