6, 25, 28, Bromtilda. :)
6. What is their favourite feature of their partner's?
Matilda would say Brom's smile and the way his whole face lights up, but she might also very much appreciate his arms. (She would probably never admit it).
Brom loves Matilda's eyes, since they give away everything she's thinking—at least to him—and they're so pretty. And as for any other features, that's between him and his wife, thank-you-very-much.
25. Who needs more assurance?
They are both confident and self-assured, but I think we can agree that Brom doesn't have a single anxious or insecure bone in his body (pun intended), so Matilda would have more moments of doubt between the two of them. She's not used to being vulnerable but Brom is pretty good at reading her, and he's got enthusiasm enough for the both of them, so it's easy for her to relax with him. Besides, he's pretty sure she can do anything. (To backtrack, though I think Brom does have his moments, however rare, where Matilda assures him as well. So, like, maybe he has one bone of uncertainty. Sometimes. Usually in regards to his dad.)
28. What do they do when they're away from each other?
They both have their own lives within the community, and their own hobbies and friends, so I think they both like having their moments of doing their own thing. Brom is very extroverted, so if he's not with Matilda, then he's probably with the Babes or Ichabod, etc. Matilda, meanwhile, needs some time to herself, and her own space, so she takes advantage of the times that Brom is away to relax or get some things done. She also enjoys spending time with her friends, like Judy and Lucretia, and the fun and support she finds with them. I think it might take Matilda and Brom some time to figure out that balance, though. (I kinda think Matilda would go crazy if Brom was around twenty-four-seven.)
Thank you!
Send me a pairing/ship and a number.

i will positively leap upon the opportunity
from loneliness into loneliness, my queerplatonic jamie + dani fic, a part of the scene that's the first time they sleep in dani's bed together. picks up right after jamie's offered to stay with him, in the hopes of keeping him from rolling onto his injured shoulder. this sequence is me like. we are going to lean HARD into This Is About Longing, About Pining (Platonic) For Someone.
--
Dani’s eyes widen as he processes the words and Jamie is briefly and intensely convinced that he’s just fucked up on an enormous level. He’s about to backpedal, beat a swift retreat from the room and possibly leave the house entirely, but before he can so much as grab his crutches, Dani is responding.
“You’d do that for me?” The corners of his warm, dark eyes crinkle softly, his head tipping slowly to the other direction. There’s something fond and a little awed in his expression, and Jamie can’t bear to look at it for long.
He shrugs one shoulder and looks down.
“I mean, yeah, it’s… ‘Course I would.” Jamie feels a little bad, maybe more than a little guilty, because this isn’t exactly the generous offer that Dani seems to think it is. It’s more like he’s asking for something for himself and making it sound like he was doing Dani a favour, which is probably even more selfish than just asking for something in the first place. Like- It is for Dani, right, Jamie really does want to keep him from rolling onto his bad shoulder if he can, but…
Just the hallway. That’s all the space that had separated them, two rooms across a hallway, and it had felt like they were worlds away. Jamie had closed his eyes and imagined it: how it would feel to slip out of bed and across the hall, get under the covers next to Dani and sleep there instead. He’d been embarrassed of himself immediately, but what nobody knew he was thinking about couldn’t hurt anyone, and so he’d imagined it until he could practically feel the warmth of another body beside his. And now here, sitting on Dani’s bed, so close to what he’d been imagining that his skin seems to ache at the thought… Jamie is a good liar, but even he ain’t a good enough liar to convince himself the offer is all or even almost all for Dani’s sake.
The chance to sleep next to someone that he’s close to, sleep holding someone that he’s close to? Jamie has to take any opportunity he might get to do that. The last time he had been consistently able to, he had been dating Keeley. There hasn’t been anyone since her, not beyond a fling for a night or two, and not even that for a while.
“I mean, I think that, if it’s… you know, if you think it’d help, yeah. Course I’d do that.” Jamie takes a deep breath, shrugs that same shoulder again, and makes himself say at least a little bit of the truth. “It’s nice. To- You know. It’s nice.”
“I understand, Dani says, nodding like he really does. “I don’t like sleeping alone.” He says it so directly, like there isn’t nothing wrong with it, and when Jamie hears it in Dani’s voice it’s hard to believe it’s any kind of character flaw like it seems when he feels it in himself. Dani laughs in a brief, humourless huff of breath. “I mean, I do not really like being alone at all, and lately… Lately I have been alone very often. So yes, if you want to, I would very much like it if you slept here with me.”
The touch of a hand reaching out and grabbing his makes Jamie look up, meet Dani’s eyes. Dani’s fingers tighten in a brief squeeze.
“I think it would help in more ways than one,” Dani says, and Jamie nods.
“Yeah,” he mumbles. “Think it would, yeah.” It’s the closest he can get to admitting to the ache in his skin, the way he’s hated sleeping in the guest room because it was so close but so far away from where Dani was sleeping, just across the hall.

wait hold on now I am genuinely curious: Why is D-Sides your favourite Gorillaz album? I never vibed with it myself so I am interested in hearing what you like about it that I'm missing out on.
so, i haven't listened to Gorillaz in a long while, nor do i tend to listen to music that actively these days, but i re-listened to the entire album, side 1 and side 2, to try and come up with a reason why i like it so much. i do want to preface and say, yeah, the album (side 1 atleast) is very "plain", there's not a whole lot going on, nor are there any guest artists on any of the songs.
but in listening to the album again, a few things kinda appear in my brain regarding the album. one is that it brings back a set of memories of taking trips to and from Ohio to live with my mother and step-father during a few breaks between high school, and how a lot of the songs in the album i remember heavily listening to while trying to sleep in the back of their car (i'm 6'2", and sleeping horizontally in the back of a moderately small car was. not great). i had the main 6 albums before Humanz installed to my kindle, since Humanz hadn't come out yet as these trips were between... 2014 and 2016. i mainly remember hearing D-Sides the most i feel on those trips, whether it be intentional, or my sleep patterns would have me looping back around to D-Sides... that or i mostly started with D-Sides at the beginning of those trips.
another thing i'm kinda thinking about after having re-listened to the album is how much side 1 kinda reminds me of Boe, in terms of the vibes; there's a lot of somber vibes i get from some songs that fits well for him (Hong Kong and Spitting Out the Demons both being notable songs that remind me of Boe himself, and also of those long trips). side 2 on the other hand, it's remixes remind me a lot of the Sims 2, specifically the console version, as i associate a lot of Sims 2 with it's console selection of music... which is mostly a more heavy focus on the electronic tracks from the PC version; a lot of the remixes feel like something i could hear playing on the radio while i'm controlling my sim around and doing tasks.
last thing, maybe, is that i never hear folks refer to D-Sides as one of their favourites, so maybe that's why i have it as mine. out of respect perhaps.

five and luther moments where they are twins? it's canon that they're twins, do u have any concept of them?
Five and Luther being twins is actually a corner of comic canon I ignore! My opinion on that bit of canon is that it is only there to give Allison a reason to help Five because he's such a little bastard in the comics. She doesn't give a fuck if Five were to stop existing, but she does have a *vested* interest in keeping Luther around. How do we solve that? They're twins! If Five's mom is killed and he's wiped from existence, so is Luther! Better help him, then!
I also think the Hargreeves are more compelling as a completely forced family. That no one is actually related to any of the others but they're aggressively being siblings, despite how terrible their childhoods were and they've estranged themselves from one another. They could have treated it like a school situation, even around Reggie being "Dad", but no! They're a family! Plus, that Five, pragmatic and (surface level) self-centered, dedicated his entire life and survived horrors to get back and save these six people he's not technically related to. They're his family - not by blood, but through growing up together, being in the Umbrella Academy together, and because he says so.
