romantic epiphanies

aka. when they decide to marry you

ft. zoro, shanks, ace, sanji, sabo

part 1 | part 2

a/n: in the words of Rosa Diaz and Jake Peralta “romantic epiphanies are dope”!! this just a bunch of fluff about when one piece characters decide they want to marry you/what makes them have that “aha!” moment?

the moment zoro decided he was going to marry you was on a random thursday night as you were brushing your teeth. it’s something the both of you do everyday. it’s mundane, it’s normal, it’s routine. but for some reason, something in his mind or his heart felt different - a good different - and suddenly he couldn’t stop thinking about how nice it would be to see a ring on your finger.

shanks never really saw himself being tied to one person. that is until he lets one rip in front of you for the first time and you simply combust into a fit of laughter so uncontrollable you actually snort. the sound is music to his ears and he decides right then that all he wants for the rest of his life is to make you laugh.

for ace, the moment he decides he’s going to marry you follows an intensely emotional conversation about his true background - who his blood relatives were. he went into the conversation expecting you to leave him, but instead a pressure builds behind his eyes as you state very matter-of-factly, “it doesn’t matter who your family is. you’ll always be my ace.” the way you utter those words with such certainty has ace wanting to propose on the spot.

sanji was always so sure he’d propose in an extravagantly romantic manner - anything less would be unacceptable. but as he wandered into the kitchen he was blessed with the sight of you in an apron, face and hands covered in flour (and god knows what other mixture of ingredients). upon hearing him, you’d turn to face him with a smile that made his knees weak “i was trying to make you a snack!” and then he steps forward to wipe some of the flour from your face and the words slip right out of sanji’s mouth before he’s even realized what he’s said (before he’s even had the chance to plan a proposal), “will you marry me?”

for sabo, the end of your third date was the deciding moment. your lips lingered on his a little longer than the other kisses you had shared and the instant you turned around to toddle back into your home he races off calling for koala to help him pick out a ring. though, he’s not an idiot, he knew your relationship had to grow more before he popped the question, but there wasn’t a doubt in his mind that you were the one he was going to marry.

Headcanons for working with Jake Peralta and he's secretly in love with you...

When you first started at the precinct Jake was immediately attracted to you. At first it was harmless flirting but when he started to get to know you, things slowly became more serious.

Boyle would tease Jake about his crush on you, bigging him up to ask you out but Jake never did - he always chickened out.

Being put on a case with you was always the highlight of the week. He would high five Boyle under the table and would flash you a wide grin and a wink.

Even if he's not on a case with you, he'll offer to help you figure stuff out or help you with the paperwork afterwards which you always appreciate.

Jake's always very complimentary of you, never overstepping a line but always making sure you know how good you are.

He offers advice to you whenever you need it, it's not always good advice or very practical but he offers it anyway.

His main goal every day is to make you smile and make you laugh and he makes damn sure he achieves his goal. He loves your laugh, loves the way your eyes crinkle, loves how happy your smile is.

If there's a promotion available, of course he wants it but he goes into Holt's office and recommends you. He doesn't tell you but you're the best person for the job and he can't sit there and lie to Holt saying that he's the one for the job. It's you that deserves it so he tells Holt just as much.

He's the first person to congratulate you on getting the job. He couldn't have been prouder of you.

"I mean, why wouldn't you get the job you're awesome?!"

It's Holt that spills the secret. He's giving a speech in the bar and lets slip that Jake recommended you.

You can't believe it. You pull Jake aside asking if it's true. He admits it is... When you ask why, he smiles, shrugs and says, "Because it's you, (y/n). It's... It's you."

You start to see Jake in a very different light after that.

You are in love

pairing: jake peralta x reader

cw: none

word count: 1600

summary: literally just based off the song you are in love by taylor swift, was written so quick but i love it

════════════════

One look dark room, meant just for you

“Jakes staring again,” Amy hummed nudging you to look.

You made eye contact with Jake who quickly looked away, your face went red and you tried to hide your smile.

“He wasn’t even looking at me.” You reply, shutting down Amy’s ideas.

“If you say soooo,” she blew you a kiss and stumbled over to the bar.

Before you knew it Jake was over sitting beside you, you smiled and took a sip of your drink.

“Hey.” Jake said.

“Hi.” You replied.

“Having fun?”

“I guess, just very loud in here,” you shrugged.

“I can’t believe you’ve been with us for three years now,”

Time moves too fast, you play it back

“I remember how shy you were, how you were scared of Holt.” Jake teased.

“Shut up Jake.” You playful shoved his arm, then resumed fidgeting with the buttons on your coat. “I remember you being oh so adamant to help me.”

Buttons on a coat, lighthearted joke

The two of you went back and fourth, Jakes only goal was to torment you. Something he done very often, you didn’t mind you thought he was funny but never would you admit that.

“Do you want to get out of here?” Jake asked.

“Actually yeah, I’ll call a cab.”

“No need, I’ll drive us I haven’t been drinking.”

“Okay.”

No proof, not much. But you saw enough.

Jake stands up and holds out his hand to help you up, this of course had your face turning red and your heart thumping. It was the little things he done that mislead your heart, there were times where you swore your feelings were mutual. Maybe you were wrong, but sometimes you allowed yourself to dream.

Jake even went as far as opening the car door for you, usually you’d roll your eyes at the gentleman approach but for some reason it was sweet when Jake done it, as much as you’d joked that he was a womaniser you knew he was far from that.

Small talk, he drives.

“So how are you enjoying work recently? Feel like I haven’t seen you in ages.” You ask as Jake drives.

“The usual, busting drug lords, bringing down the mafia, saving the world day by day.” Jake replies.

“Ha ha very funny Peralta.” You roll your eyes, and his only response is a bashful grin, one that you know will reply in your mind.

Coffee, at midnight.

You and Jake went back to your apartment, you read the clock which hits midnight as he hands you a mug of coffee.

“Gonna be up all night,” Jake jokes.

“Oh I can image, you high on caffeine like a little child.” You tease, Jake just pulls a mocking face at you.

You go sit out on your balcony, Jake follows behind you and you sit in a comfortable silence drinking your coffee.

The light reflects, the chain on your neck.

“The moons reflecting on your necklace,” Jake says, bringing you out of your thoughts.

“Really?”

He says, “look up” and your shoulders brush.

“Look up,”

No proof, one touch. But you felt enough.

As you do you brush shoulders with Jake, the touch sending chills down your spine. It was as if he sent electrical waves coursing through your body, it just solidified your undying commitment. You ever longing attraction. It spoke volume.

You can hear it in the silence, you can feel it on the way home, you can see it with the lights out.

A comfortable silence emerged yet again over you both, that happened often with Jake. It’s not that you it was awkward but because you simply didn’t need to talk. As you watched him admire the moon the feeling that settled in your stomach grew, you found yourself reflecting on your feelings. It was simple. That feeling was heard in the silence that feeling was felt on the way home, and you could see it with the lights out. There’s was only one answer.

You are in love.

True love.

════════════════

Morning, his place.

You and Jake had been on your second date together, he asked you out two weeks ago. It came out in a complete blur.

You and Jake had just chased down a fugitive on the run, you ran two blocks which included jumping over fences and dodging hotdog carts. God this job was going to kill you. But finally you got the guy as a result of you lunging forward and landing on top of him knocking you both to the ground. Jake arrested him and you turn to make your way back to the car when he calls out for you.

“(Y/N)?”

You turn around, “yeah?”

“Go on a date with me tomorrow night?” He blurts out in one breath. You didn’t catch a word.

“What?”

“Go on a date with me tomorrow night?”

You couldn’t stop the stupid grin that overtook your face, of course you said yes. The date had gone so well, so well that when you got home you stayed awake all night thinking about him. And of course you had no hesitation asking him out for another date.

Burnt toast, Sunday.

Now you lay in his bed, slowly waking up. Although when you hear the fire alarm you jump up and run to the kitchen.

“Jake?! What the fuck!”

“Burnt toast…” Jake pulls a face and grabs the toast from the toaster, the toast which is fully cremated.

You look between Jake and the toast, the situation of course has you both laughing as you make him sit down. You from now on are appointed to make the food. You sit together on his couch eating toast (not cremated of course).

“You wearing my shirt?”

“I can take it off if you want… sorry it was just the first thing I grabbed.”

You keep his shirt.

“No why would you apologise keep it. Looks better on you.”

“Just my ex, got mad when I used his stuff.” You shrug, you didn’t realise how much that upset you until Jake lifted your chin.

He keeps his word.

“I promise I’ll never get mad at you,”

And for once, you let go, of your fears and your ghosts, one step, not much. But it said enough.

Usually you didn’t believe promises, but how could you not with Jake? Jake who was fiercely loyal and dedicated, Jake who would do anything to make someone smile. You knew he would keep his promises, and two months in that still withstood.

════════════════

“Jake!” You squeal running down the sidewalk.

He catches you and grabs your waist.

“You completely dodged the mistletoe.”

You kiss on sidewalks.

You roll your eyes and turn around, you wrap your arms around his neck and pull him close. You share a passionate kiss, one that has your head fuzzy and lips swollen by the end of you. When he pulls away you blush like an idiot and take his hand, you walk towards the car.

You fight, then you talk.

“No but seriously,” Jake starts as he gets into the car. “Why did you dodge the mistletoe. Is it about your family again?”

“Jake we’ve had this conversation.” You sigh as you turn on your engine and start the car up.

“I know but I don’t understand, you bring me to family events but you refuse to introduce me as your boyfriend.”

“Because it’s not that simple!”

“What’s not simple? All you have to say is ‘mom, dad this is my extremely handsome boyfriend Jake’ see easy.”

“Jake be serious come on,”

“Sorry. But please just tell me what’s so wrong with it, are you embarrassed of me or something?”

“How can you say that? Of course I’m not embarrassed of you Jake.” You sigh. “I don’t tell my family because I can’t handle them ruining this for me. Every time I’ve been happy they ruin it for me, either it’s them discrediting me becoming a detective because my sister has became a doctor, or it’s them making me feel bad for feeling sad when someone disappoints me, or most frequently it’s them picking apart all of my boyfriends because god forbid I’m happy for once. That’s why Jake. That’s why I refuse to introduce you as my boyfriend because I refuse to let them put things into my head.”

“I’m sorry, I had no idea.” Jake rubs a thumb over your hand.

“No it’s not your fault, I should have told you.”

════════════════

One night, he wakes

You smile looking at Jake before returning to your book, the lamp on your beside table dimly lights up the room. And again you find yourself staring at Jake, who’s so peacefully sleeping. His features outlined by the light, making him look ethereal. You were staring so intensely that you almost didn’t notice him waking up.

Strange look on his face

“Why are you looking at me like that.” You softly laugh, “everything okay?”

Pauses, then says;

“You’re my best friend.”

And you knew what it was.

The simplicity of the words has your throat stifling. You could recognise that realisation anywhere.

He is in love.

You knew he shared it too.

You can hear it in the silence, you can feel it on the way home, you can see it with the lights out.

Finally you weren’t alone in this. You shared it, the love lingered all around. It was heard in the silence by both, it was felt on the way home by both, and it was seen with the lights out, by both.

caramel pecan — would they make amends quickly after a fight? + jake peralta 👉👈

caramel pecan — would they make amends quickly after a fight?

⤷ with: jake peralta

Jake can be so stubborn. He's always doing whatever he wants, even when people say that he shouldn't. We saw him going against almost everyone because he knew what was happening. Jake got himself on the verge of dismissal a few times because of that. Jake "Source? I've got a vibe' Peralta.

This is all true, but Jake is way more parsimonious when it comes about relationships. Not when it comes about his ideals or morals, but he's when it comes about the people he loves. We all've seen it. Even when Jake knows for sure that he is right, he can put that aside and chose to make up instead of fight. Maybe because he don't want you to be sad, maybe because he wants to be close to you again, but all his stubborness can be overcomed.

Don't matter if you were the one to start the fight, if you did something he disagree with: if Jake understand that this isn't as important as your relationship, everything will be okay. You both may need a few minutes to breath in and understand your feeling, but as soon as he does that Jake will come back to you. Sometimes he don't even know he will make up with you, it just happens.

He hates dishonesty, in any kind. The only thing Jake needs from your is your honesty (unless you don't think that Die Hard is the best movie ever made) and your companionship. That's all.

Jake is immature, often confronted by his on naivety, but he is quickly to realize what really matters to him. All his stubborness and purposeful annoyance will be ignored. Jake loves you, he cares about you, and that's all that really matters.

Unless the subject is babies. Then he would need to go through a hostage situation to clear his mind first.

if you enjoyed, please reblog! i promise it makes a difference ♡

Granted, I stopped watching B99 in season 6 but the ending of "Captain Peralta" is probably my favourite Holt and Jake moment because both Andre and Andy brought so much to it in such a short scene at the very end of the episode.

It's one thing for the story to show us Jake finally realizing/admitting that his father is a shitty dad and him facing that reality means protecting himself and establishing boundaries but facing that reality also means losing a hero only to reveal/realize that Holt is Jake's true hero and the father figure he needs and respects and who doesn't let him down and who does the things that father figures do. It's another thing for the actors to embody that material and embody that material they did.

The unabashed pride and warmth and affection Andre gives to Holt when looking at Jake? That gravitas, that fatherly, authoritative validation he provides in simply his expression and tone of voice

and then the way Andy shows Jake's genuine surprise and vulnerability and shyness and embarrassed sort of pride at making Holt proud that he's almost a kid himself in receiving that validation?

It's just such an important scene to me in the context of the show?

Next morning you woke up with a headache that felt like if an elephant has passed over your head. You felt your body a little more heavy than normal, you thought it was for the drinking but when you opened your eyes you noticed that Jake had one of his arms wrapped around you while he was sleeping, you felt your heart stop working for a second but then you heard him muffle something.

-w-wait A-Amy- you heard him say and that absolutely broke your heart, you didn't even cared what he was actually dreaming about, Amy could be strangling him and you couldn't care less about it

It was just annoying, the way even Charles considers you the second option, how he would love the idea of Jake and Amy dating and how you would be a plan B if things go wrong, it was annoying and you were tired.

You moved Jakes arm out of you, after all he was basically passed out so he didn't even noticed, you wanted to just leave but you still cared about him maybe a dumb decision but you just couldn't help it, but also you knew that you deserve better, and that when things don't get better with one person you need to start searching for a new one…

You went to his little laundry room and you took your still a little wet clothes; you put them on a plastic bag and left the apartment. You didn't really wanted to leave him alone so you called Charles

-Hello Y/N how is the lovey dovey stuff going? TELL ME EVERYTHING!- Charles said in an excited voice

-SHUT UP! I am hang over!- You say annoyed through the phone -Listen I know you had no freaking lead of anything yesterday, so it's time to pay for that, come to his apartment and take care of him-

-What happened?- Charles says worried

-Nothing happened, the dude just puked on me since he got horribly drunk and then passed out, he's still passed out, but I am no man's nanny so you better come and take care of him- you say with an annoyed tone of voice while getting in your car

-You sound upset, are you okay?- Charles said worried

-Just shut up and come babysit your friend, this fucking hangover is killing me too much to be his nanny that's it- you say annoyed and hang up the phone, you felt annoyed yet sad, about everything and with those two, and everyone, everything felt shitty and you just wanted to go home and stay in bed all day.

Charles view

Charles felt slightly worried at all that call but didn't thought much about it and just went to Jake's place, he lived close to him so it didn't took him long. He could've swear that saw Y/N's car leaving as he arrived, it might be true it might not, the important thing is Jake.

Charles got into Jake's apartment to noticing still sleeping on the bed, Charles thought on making breakfast but as he walked to the little kitchen he noticed a little bagel and a coffee in a table, it was noticeable that it was fresh since the coffee was still very hot, Charles smiled and shakes his head.

-Jake…- He starts trying to wake Jake out preparing some small medicine for the hangover -Jake wake up-

Jake starts waking up slowly and jumps out of scare looking at Charles -Charles what are you doing here?…- he asks a little confused feeling his head like if it was about to explode -Where is Y/N?-

Charles shrugs -In her apartment I suppose- he says handing Jake the hangover cure -She called me in the morning for me to come and care for you-

Jake looks a little embarrassed -Man, maybe she's mad at me… I fucked up and ended up throwing up on her…- he says ashamed

-Yeah she mentioned it but I don't think she was annoyed at you- he say handing him the coffee and the bagel -She left this here for you-

Jake smiles -Man, I owe that woman a lot now-

Charles nods -So can I ask what happened yesterday? She slept here didn't she?- he asks with a teasing voice

Jake's eyes widen a little bit and shakes her head -No… I mean, yeah but it isn't anything that you're thinking about, I just messed up her clothes and so she had to borrow some mine and I invited her to stay but just in a friend way, nothing more- he says looking a little shy

-No wonder she was annoyed- Charles whisper to himself

-What?- Jake questioned

-Nothing!- says Charles noticing the words that came out of his mouth -Anyways! You just rest okay? I still have some work on the precinct, but I will bring you some food later!- said Charles trying to escape but Jake stopped him

-Wait, tell me what did you said before first- he says stopping him from leaving -Or I will find a new best friend!- said Jake threatening Charles with his biggest fear

-Jake I can't Y/N is going to kill me… Don't do this- Charles says really trying to escape

Jake let's him go and gives Charles his back -Okay then, I thought we were best friends but I guess not-

Charles felt like exploding, for one side you were going to kill him and from the other side Jake was leaving him out of their friendship, he couldn't stand it… -Y/N-HAS-A-CRUSH-ON-YOU- He says quickly like letting a bomb out

-WHAT?!- Jake asks in shock -SINCE WHEN?!, HOW DO YOU KNOW?!-

-Jake please I can't answer all that, I just… Found out a while ago okay? That's it, now I really need to go bye- Charles said running away from Jake's apartment. Jake tried to stop him but wasn't able to leaving him with those news.

A couple of days passed by and you guys started working again, you had no idea Charles spilled your secret and Jake tried to not make it noticeable that he knew.

-Hey Y/N, here I got you this- Jake says handing you a cup of coffee and a bagel -Repayment- he says with a smile

-Thanks- you smile back and kept on doing some paperwork, you still felt a little hurt by what happened so you just decided to take a little distance from Jake

-Anyhow, I would like to invite you dinner since… Well I still feel guilty for what happened- Jake says to you

-Today?-

-If you're free then yes!-

-Sorry I am actually not free- you say trying to not get in much detail

-Are you sure? I will take us to a good restaurant and everything- he says playfully, you just shake your head

-I am sure, I already have plans, sorry- you admit

Jake nods -It's okay- he says a little disappointed -may I ask what are you doing tonight?- he asks curious

You felt a little uncomfortable to say it but at the same time you thought "Fuck it" -I have a date- you admit

-A date huh?- Sargent Jeffords says as he overheard you while passing by -Who's the lucky fella?-

You felt a little more embarrassed at the office noticing, you didn't like to open up much about those things -It's a mutual friend, my best friend will come with their partner and will present me to this guy better… Kinda like a double date-

-So you don't know him?- Jake asks

-I kinda do, we have met in my friend birthday parties or events like that and we hit it off really well but he had a partner at that time so, now he has been single for a while, me too, so we are gonna try- you say with a little hope that he would help you take Jake out of your brain

-It's this guy?- Jake roll his computer screen to you to show you your date's Facebook

-How did you?…-

-I just had to navigate over your friend's pictures to notice a group one in their birthday and since your group of friends is mostly girls it wasn't hard to assume this was the guy- he says in a cocky tone of voice

-Jake is a great detective!- said Charles

-That's scary don't stalk my date or my friends- you said a little uncomfortable at that -It's nothing serious anyway- you say taking your coat as the work day was ending

-It is serious, look at what you're wearing, that's definitely serious- Jake's say pointing at your dress

-Seriously stop- you say to Jake getting a little annoyed at his comments exposing you at the office

-Fine fine- says Jake taking his own coat to leave too -Hold the elevator, I am leaving too- he says to you and you do. No one thinks much of it.

The elevator opens and you two walk to your respective cars.

-Make sure to take care of yourself!- Jake says to you

-I know- you say getting in your car and leaving

Jake feels the urge to follow you just in case but he also doesn't want to present himself as more of an stalker. Just his luck, he just discovered you had a crush on him and you start moving on… Maybe he's truly not made for love…

you and all your little things | jake & amy

Based on an old prompt I received in my inbox a loooong time ago:

"this is either a fic request or just a nice thought, depending on if you like it haha! i saw a reddit post today about a woman who said she loves finding kitchen appliances in the wrong place bc she knows that means her boyfriend must have tidied up the kitchen. she said on a stressful day, coming home and finding something in the wrong place makes her feel happy that her bf is trying to do something to make her day easier - even if he messes up a little. gave me early j&a vibes, season 3ish"

Rating: G (Pure fluff <3)

Words: 1.4k

Read here or on AO3

----

She doesn’t think too much about it… Or maybe rather she tries not to think too much about it.

Amy Santiago tries not to think too much about the fact that she really likes being in a relationship: the solid, silly, and amazing kind with Jake Peralta. She might even be loving it, if she has to be completely honest.

It’s the smallest things she usually loves the most and it drives her that much more insane that the man does the tiniest, trivial things and she swoons as if he’s asking for her hand in marriage - not that she’s thinking about that yet… duh. Or… maybe a bit? How can a guy she’s been with for just barely 6 months mean so much to her already? Is that normal? More importantly: is it safe?

Even during the entire (and very intense) ‘annoying and difficult to be around’-phase Jake happened to go through when she first started at the 9-9, deep (very deep at times) down, Amy always knew she liked Jake. Even before they were dating, obviously, but now that she has him her true and completely unhinged feelings are starting to surface and show. Slowly, bit by bit like the iceberg in the horizon, threatening to come closer and crash into her. No, of course, she doesn’t think of their relationship as a fatal shipwreck but they did just watch Titanic a few days ago and the metaphor is right there. After the movie, tiredly stretching after having fallen asleep with her head resting in his lap, Jake had suddenly gone silent and looked at her through the dark with a look so intense she could’ve sworn he was about to tell her a century old secret that could change the world.

“Ames?” he’d said so seriously that it made her heart drop to her gut.

“Y-yeah?”

“I’m about to ask you something very important.” Even in the dimmed light of her scented candles, she could see the depth of his brown irises grow darker. What had happened to the lighthearted and never-serious boyfriend of hers?

“W-what?” She was tired, disoriented from her mid-movie nap, and now she was supposed to sit here and just witness him breaking up with her or something. Her life was definitely a joke. Silence swallowed them as he reached over the tiny gap between them and grabbed her hands. Another few seconds snailed by. Neither moved from their seats on the couch.

“Will you paint me like one of your french girls?”

What? Her brain short-circuited.

“What?”

Then she saw it. A glimt, so mischievous it couldn’t hide, ever, appeared in his eyes. Lips broke into a tight line that told her he was holding back a grin. Even in the darkness, it was clear as day that he was messing with her.

“Jacob, you asshole!” she punched his shoulder and he finally broke, letting out a cackle.

So yeah, no actual Titanic happening in their relationship, and Jake has totally stolen her heart, and Amy is all at once completely enamoured but also horribly scared of how quickly she’s falling… getting used to it. Mainly, as already mentioned, the little things.

Jake utterly, obliviously and completely messes with her way of thinking logically and even worse… her love and respect for organizing.

Example: A couple of months ago, Jake had stayed the night. Even though she was going to work the in the morning, while he had a day off, Jake had insisted on staying the night. In the morning he’d sent her off with a kiss (and a playful smack to the butt) before passing back out in her bed. Driving to work Amy couldn’t help but overthink all the mess she’d come home to because untidiness was part of her boyfriend’s DNA. Even though it took some minor controversies and time getting used to, now she didn’t mind too much. Cleaning was fun and if it meant that Jake was making himself at home and stuck around more often then she’d gladly put up with it. It was safe to say that she was both pleasantly surprised and amused upon arriving back home to her now-empty apartment.

When she walked into her home the air was crisp, clean even, telling her that Jake had aired the apartment for her before leaving. Lucky her because she’s pretty sure that the smell of their miserably burnt popcorn from last night must’ve been hell to get rid of. Suddenly she wondered what else he’d done. She didn’t expect anything but maybe Jake Peralta had the potential of being a tidy boyfriend. After taking off her boots and coat, putting it away as per usual, Amy wandered through her apartment as if she was visiting an exhibition at a museum; curious to learn and openminded.

The blanket from last night was folded and rested across the sofa’s armrest - just how she always did herself but she’s positive that she didn’t do that yesterday. They’d made out on the couch and Jake had carried her straight to bed to continue the horny activities. It was safe to say that neither of them had gone back to the living room after that. Sure, the blanket could’ve been folded more neatly but Amy couldn’t possibly get herself to do anything about it; she’d been too busy smiling from ear to ear at the image of her boyfriend folding the huge, black plaid to the best of his abilities.

The kitchen had been cleaned as well but she did happen to do a double-take when her eyes wandered across the sight of their two mugs (yes, they have stupid matching couples’ mugs) standing very much washed and clean, she also noticed, on top of her coffee machine. Following her own logic, mugs would always belong in the cupboard: above the plates, next to the glasses.

However then, suddenly, Amy could also see it from her boyfriend’s point of view: what do you use mugs for? Coffee. Where do you make the coffee? Coffee machine. Duh. Thus they belong together.

She’d napped a picture of it and sent it to him right away.

Amy Santiago:

Never thought of doing this but it somehow makes sense.

A few moments later her phone pinged, notifying her of a new message.

Jake Peralta:

oh ames welcome to the wonderfully logical world of jake peralta

She’d chuckled at it before heading for further exploration of her own home. Besides it being tidy as usual (almost up to her own very high standards) she didn’t notice much. The bed was made, shower scraped clean and his dirty clothes in her laundry basket. From day one they’d made a rule: she didn’t mind washing his clothes but the least he could do was put it in the laundry basket and not leave it all over the place. Never had he broken the rule. And for him to clothes leave behind for her to wash is okay since he always does the same for her when she leaves something behind at his place - so far he’s only turned two of her white items pink. The first time, very early on in their dating slash situationship, he'd confessed straight away.

Jake Peralta:

don’t be mad. i turned your t-shirt the color of love.

click to open attachment.

He’d texted her the first time.

Amy Santiago:

Wow, what a unique take on messing up my white t-shirt.

Jake Peralta:

sorry :(

Amy Santiago:

It’s okay <3 I’ll just have to steal one of yours

The second time he'd left the item on her bed, folded in something resembling a heart, with a note with 'color of love' and a tiny heart next to it. She couldn't be mad - even if it was her night shorts. The note she kept in her drawer.

Although she hadn’t noticed earlier that day he'd stayed over on his day off, she later comes one more puzzling yet amusing surprise. One is when she’d been looking for her reading glasses and couldn’t find them, only to randomly come across them… lying next to her toothbrush. She’d been more than curious to understand the logic behind the placement and sent him a picture.

Amy Santiago:

What is the logic behind this?

Jake Peralta:

You always read in bed before going to sleep. You always brush your teeth right before getting into bed. I thought it was normal to pair the two?

Wow. She’d been smiling and blushing so hard and if he had been there with her then he definitely would’ve teased her about it.

He definitely wasn’t a titanic. He was a million things, tiny little things, that made her heart flutter and lips curl into stupid school girl smiles. What can she say? Jake Peralta has a wonderfully weird brain and she’s slowly, bit by bit, falling more and more in love with him and his logic.

( goodbrother d /peter gadiot / cis man and he/him ) hear ye hear ye — the riverlands welcomes LORD MERRICK GOODBROTHER of HAMMERHORN. king matthos baratheon is glad that the thirty-two year old appears to be adaptable and he shall overlook that it’s said they are also impulsive, as long as they are glad to celebrate peace in the seven kingdoms. fortunately for them, matthos remains oblivious that they AREN’T happy with his reign.

Name: Merrick Goodbrother Age: 32 Orientation: pansexual, panromantic Loyalties: House Goodbrother, House Greyjoy, the Iron Island, Daella Targaryen Religious affiliation: The Drowned God Appearance: broad shouldered and 6'3 he can cut quite an imposing figure. Beard is almost always left somewhat scruffy, only bothering with minimal maintenance unless something else is required of him, and dark hair is left to curl around his ears and collar. Gait: his walk is almost lazy and lithe, never truly in a hurry and always appearing relaxed, but there's a strength coiled behind his steps. Aesthetic:

Family: -

Father: Viktarion Goodbrother is the only father he'll ever claim Mother: unknown Siblings: Iravan Goodbrother, Extended family: Talyssa Goodbrother (sister in law) Marital status: single

Personality: -

Traits: intuitive, loyal, mercurial, fun-loving, reckless, humorous, protective, affable, careless, easy-going, forthright, provocative, outspoken, irreverent, persistent. Values: he's a man with few qualms and there's very few lines he wouldn't cross out of devotion to those he loves. Merrick rarely finds himself bound by high morals, if anything he likes to push the lines of what's acceptable ( though fun tends to win out over cruelty, usually ). Mostly he values his freedom and the ability to make his own choices, respects those who remain neutral or non-judgemental. Fears: if asked Merrick would claim that he was fearless and for the most part he wouldn't be lying. At the very least he's not someone who really fears the repercussions of his actions nor does he worry about death or even have much regard for his safety. He can't even fear having regrets on his deathbed when he indulges himself so often. The loss of his family is perhaps the closest thing to a fear he has but now it somewhat extends to Daella too. Moral Alignment: chaotic neutral Temperament: sanguine Zodiac: scorpio sun, sagittarius moon, leo rising Inspiration: gwaine ( merlin ), joey tribiani ( friends ) , frenchie ( the boys ), jake peralta ( brooklyn nine-nine ), merry brandybuck ( lotr ), han solo ( star wars )

Biography

tl;dr - to him his life had already worked out far better than it was supposed to by being adopted into House Goodbrother and so very little was taken seriously. Merrick cared for nothing outside of his family and his own enjoyment. In his search for something more he set off for Essos, spending the first eight months of his time there doing nothing but indulging his every whim. It was during one drunken night that word reached him of Targaryens and a rough, barely considered plan entered his head. He had every intention of finding them and using the knowledge to his advantage ( what advantage that would be he had no idea ) but from the moment Daella Targaryen intervened on his behalf he's been at her side.

As unruly and unpredictable it felt like Merrick was always meant to be a part of House Goodbrother. His true parentage might have been unknown but it had never been something that concerned him when he felt so at home running through the halls of Hammerhorn and exploring with his siblings.

It was difficult to make Merrick to anything that he didn't want to or didn't find some kind of enjoyment. The only person who could ever really leverage his love for them effectively was Viktarion and so he learned sail and fight because his father taught him and continued only because it kept his attention. Later in life he'd be grateful for the freedom his skill with a blade allowed him, granting him the confidence that if he ever talked himself into trouble he'd soon be able to fight himself out of it.

Most of his teenage years were spent hot on the heels of Iravan, following his brother from island to island as much as he would let him. Their adventures slowed when Viktarion decided that it was time for his brother to marry and while Merrick gained a sister, he lost the man he considered his partner in crime to duty.

His twenties continued much the same way - he sailed, he fought, he drank sometimes in that order other times not but always repeated. It was supposed to be endlessly fun but the older he grew the less fulfilling he found it. By the time he reached twenty-six even the fondness he held for his family wasn't enough to soothe the itch he felt to do something else. So like so many other spares before him, he set off for Essos.

He could hardly claim that it offered him anything different, simply providing a change of scene for his usual antics. For months he was unchanged until he caught a rumour of Targaryens. He reached out to a few sources, confirming that if he located them it'd be worth his while.

By some miracle find them he did, only their first meeting was far from what he'd expected it to be. Predictably he'd managed to get himself in trouble, only for it to be Daella Targaryen who intervened on his behalf. From that moment on he felt indebted to her and offered his sword and protection in return.

For the last five years he's been going where Daella does, being whatever she wants him to be and doing whatever she needs him to be. He had found contentment in it but as they're bound for Westeros he found a familiar restlessness creeping in.

Headcanons:

He can turn his hand to using most any weapon that finds its way into them. Growing up he practised most with axes and bows but he now has a fondness for swords. He only started using a shield when he met Daella, finding that he felt the need to have something else to protect her with.

There was a time when he showed great aptitude and promise when it came to his studies but never applied himself enough for it to truly come to anything. He does still show flashes of intelligence, though he much prefers to keep it hidden underneath his careless attitude.

He's been learning high valyrian for a few years now and has made decent progress with the language, achieving a conversational fluency even if there are plenty conversations he doesn't fully understand if they're spoken too quickly.

( gavin leatherwood , 21 , cis male , he / him ) hey , is that JAMES POTTER wandering the halls without a companion ? the SIXTH YEAR is getting bold . and here i thought the GRYFFINDOR was always more dynamic , candid & resolute . but then they are also known to be impulsive , image-conscious & flippant , so maybe that makes sense . these hard times are enough to change anybody , i suppose . and did you hear people are saying they’re in THE ORDER ? rumors fly when people are cooped up . here , i’ll show you — JAMES always reminded me of the reassuring weight of an arm slung around your shoulders ; willow branches rustling in the warm summer breeze ; the smoky sweet smell of mesquite and citrus ; forever reaching for the horizon , even when the golden light of the setting sun blinds you ; uncalloused hands that never quite rest still ; the hum of electricity in the air before a summer storm ; wearing the limelight like a second skin ; the adrenaline of making someone you love laugh ; ink-stained fingers and unruly hair from a sleepless night ( is it perfectionism or obsession ? ) . and i’ve heard HE DRINKS FELIX FELICIS BEFORE EVERY QUIDDITCH MATCH . let’s hope the PUREBLOOD doesn’t get attacked by the beast . or let’s at least hope that rumor doesn’t get back to them before they do .

character parallels include richard gansey iii ( the raven cycle ) , orpheus ( hadestown ) , gilbert blythe ( anne of green gables ) , jake peralta ( brooklyn nine nine ) , steve harrington ( stranger things )

two words : hero complex

james is what happens when a child is told his whole life that he is extraordinary , and it’s true . he grew up sated on love and comfort and wealth , the only child of two wealthy purebloods who had once thought it impossible for them to have a child , and lavished every ounce of adoration they had upon james for proving them otherwise .

he was a prodigy — there’s no doubting that . chubby toddler fingers that crackled with magic grew into long fingers wielding a wand with expert ease . unsteady toddler footsteps turned into daredevil swoops and turns on the latest broom model .

there have been many who have attempted to hate james , and there have been many who have failed . it’s something about his smile , equal parts mischievous , charming , and oh-so earnest . it’s something about his hazel eyes : the laughter lines that line them , the way they glint with curiosity , the softness they hold when he looks at his friends . it’s his easy confidence

and let’s be HONEST , it’s the fact that he’s fucking gorgeous . you think he’d get away with as much shit as he does if he was plain ? hell no . he’s a pretty boy & he gets all the privilege that comes with that .

of course , there have also been those who have attempted to hate james and SUCCEEDED . and they wouldn’t be wrong ! his confidence can tip over into arrogance . his pranks have been known to border on cruel . he has ZERO self awareness , and well and truly believes he is the good guy of every situation . he sticks his nose in where it isn’t wanted , and tries to fix what isn’t broken . he tends to view the world in black and white .

you might think his arrogance would mean he doesn’t care , but actually , the opposite is true . if something’s gone wrong , or someone’s unhappy , he unconsciously (a) assumes he can fix it , and (b) decides it’s his responsibility to fix it . shoulders all responsibility and can get very stubborn about it . main character syndrome fr

probably like , 60% of his brain real estate is devoted to loving his friends . this boy is so fucking ride or die . he is devoted to the marauders and considers them his brothers

*this voice* that boy has adhd and i really believe that

predominantly hyperactive / impulsive type : fidgety , impulsive , talkative , impatient , restless

see : james canonically playing with a snitch like , constantly

often speaks before he thinks and regrets it , but just passes it off as a joke rather than admit that he doesn’t know why he said that

allergic to bees & wasps just bc gansey from trc is and i can say so

often has insomnia , so you can find him in the gryffindor common room at very late hours , sketching out new ideas for a prank while fiddling with a snitch , or attempting to take something apart , figure out how it works , and put it back together

oh yeah also he doesn’t take felix felicis before every quidditch game lol i just thought that would be a fun rumour . he does have stupid luck with his lot in life tho

also gonna point you towards seven by sleeping at last bc that truly is james’s theme song <33

um idk what else to add ? this intro took ages to finish & i feel like it’s so messy and short but oh well such is life

[initial reactions] Legacies 4x17

That was... an episode.

They're trying to go back to normal and putting Lizzie with MG and, it's not just the Hope/Lizzie shipper in me but I honestly didn't feel they had chemistry the entire way.

I'm not fond of putting MG in Boyle's role. I know they're trying to make him the Jake Peralta but... it's just not happening and they keep pushing Ethan to Lizzie too, which is... talk about shoehorn.

Especially MG being mad about Lizzie choosing Ethan. And it just makes me think that NONE of the vampires in the school know what the hell a sire bond entails. 'Cause the bigger threat to MG 's romantic visions is Lizzie herself.

Again, I don't know if it's the Hope/Lizzie shipper in me but Lizzie had no reaction to MG's grand confession. It's not a secret to Lizzie MG is in love with her. It's something she's known forever.

"Because I love you with all of my heart and all of my soul."

And this is Lizzie's expression?

MG deserves better than this storyline. I thought we were moving on with this stuff when Kym was around???

As for Hope ---

As a fully activated tribrid does anyone else feel they can barely tell the difference between No Humanity Hope and Real Hope? Like her personality has finally settled into more violent (than before) and impatient. Like a true Mikaelson vampire except she has her caring dial and filters dial at a 40% instead of 5% when she had her Humanity off.

Even how Hope said 'gratitude' very much harkens to her sad sack No Humanity era.

Also, LOL, my man Landon saying what I've been saying: Hope - Bad at plans.

Remember when Willow used to disparage Buffy about always resorting to violence first and how 'she's not that bright?' Well, Willow Rosenberg, you have never met Hope Mikaelson.

Whose only plan is to pummel something to death and little else.

Alaric, maybe include Lizzie in this war plans since she's essential to it and apparently is letting her ned out even more because did you hear that scientific method talk??

Elizabeth. That was HOT.

So I guess Lizzie took Little Hope's talk about being the smartest seriously, huh?

Can we stop screwing with Landon, please? Let him out or let him have peace? Let the kid out FFS. He doesn't deserve this. Why is he so apart from the cast???

Does Aria have a newborn? Is that why he can't expose himself to a lot of people on set??? What is going on with this situation?

Aurora/Rebecca Breeds laughing at Ken (her RL husband) is amazing. Also, please, Ken, you might be able to do more magic stuff and are stronger you still can't hold a candle to Klaus and Elijah.

All of Ben's talk about only a god can kill a god and what I'm getting from that is... Hope's gonna power up to god level.

Anyway, Landon does make Hope happy, you can't really deny that and they do have the star-crossed lovers thing. But I still think they would be much better as friends and exes. Plus, as the Originals have shown us, people can love more than one person.

This is more moving pieces, getting characters to breathe. Although one of the relevant parts here that I've discovered is that everyone in the school knows about Hope and Lizzie's sire bond but it seems none of the vampire kids know what a vampiric sire bond entails.

Lizzie is living her best life, if not for the impending god war, she loves being a vampire.

So, in the next god fight, can Alaric give both Hope and Lizzie human blood? Caroline drinks Human blood from Blood banks, they can do the same for their two heaviest hitters to get a leg up in strength.

Since yesterday i'd reached the daily limit of Tumblr, I was deciding to continue learning Spanish by myself (my bff, who has graduated her second bachelor degree major in Spanish, is super busy) and this time I want it to be more ordered. Laters, until I've been able to post/reblog again, guess what who just have headache *Jake Peralta's voice*. Yes. Headache. I haven't felt headache this way after studying and learning since I was in 12th grade. But that time, I had been studied mathematics for 7 hours straight in the row. I still remember that I forget almost every advance mathematics I have known in my life. And when I was a 1st year student in the University, I never do maths by pens and papers, I always use calculators - even dividing a bill when going out to restaurant with friends - hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

But I do NOT want to be like that, with Spanish. It matters to my careers. So sad for every working people in third-world-country and without true democracy, whose languages' skill must be required more than native tongue and English. I hope I'm gonna get well soon. I hate when I can't literally use my brain. Yes. I love my brain so much.❤🧠 Even if zombies were real and they cause the apocalypse, I won't allow them to have a taste of my brain. 🥸👻😈

PS. I do sleep at night. I slept at 1 AM - 9 AM, today. I used to stay up all night and day for many times, I've found out it isn't funny. One time I did that before Russian Literature's examination, I wrongly wrote and explained about Pushkin's works...you know the result...

PS.2 Don't even ask me about other classical Russian writers, except Dostoyevsky. This man inspires me to stay sane. Even the one who wrote Doctor Chivago, I forget his name now.

Brooklyn nine nine season 3 episode 9 watch online

If Jake wins, Amy has to go on the “worst date ever” with him. It’s revealed that the two overachievers have had a long-running bet to see who can catch the larger number of bad guys. Two in a row! The week after the first essential episode, Brooklyn Nine-Nine really started developing what would become a key relationship: the one between Jake and Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero). Robinson and Samberg are fantastic in the first example of their increasingly great buddy/nemesis chemistry, but this is an episode that allowed Lo Truglio to break out of Boyle’s regrettable season-one Diaz infatuation and show off his excellent physical-comedy abilities and his character’s culinary fearlessness. And a scene where Holt admonishes the team for mistreating Boyle while holding two adorable puppies is an early example of what would become one of the show’s strengths: undercutting traditional notions of masculinity. The B-plot here is solid too, as Boyle returns from being shot, forcing everyone to be so nice to him that they even allow him to order lunch (a.k.a. Rosa instantly senses that Doug is pulling some sort of scam, and the dynamic between Diaz and Peralta elevates the episode, defying a “dumb guy who stumbles into solving the case” setup of so many cop sitcoms - Jake doesn’t solve the case and he doesn’t trust his partner, even when she says, “1,000 push-ups,” their code for absolute confidence.

This episode marks the first appearance of Doug Judy (played perfectly by Craig Robinson), an identity thief who promises to help Jake find his nemesis, a notorious car thief named the Pontiac Bandit. In chronological order …Īfter a relatively rocky start to the series, this is right around when creators Dan Goor and Mike Schur and the writers started to settle into their characters, displaying a greater knowledge of their performers’ individual strengths. There are often highlights, but rarely lowlights. We’ve also noted a special commendation for the standout performer in each one, but it can’t be overstated how much the success of Brooklyn Nine-Nine comes from its remarkable cast chemistry. These 17 episodes chart the progression of that ensemble, providing some of the show’s most memorable character-based moments and evolving gags (on that note, we stuck with one Doug Judy, one Pimento, and one Halloween Heist episode for this list). Sure, multiple-Emmy nominees Andre Braugher and Andy Samberg are the faces of the show, but one of the great joys of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is the extent to which it is a true ensemble endeavor, and choosing the show’s essential episodes requires highlighting great performers like Stephanie Beatriz (as Detective Rosa Diaz), Terry Crews (as Sergeant/Lieutenant Terry Jeffords), Joe Lo Truglio (Detective Charles Boyle), and the entire gang, as well as a rotating troupe of guest stars. But we can be reasonably sure that whatever else it does in its final ten episodes, Brooklyn Nine-Nine will continue its focus on what has become the show’s biggest asset: one of the best TV ensembles of the last decade. The season was recalibrated in response to the events of 2020, and it still remains to be seen what this cop comedy will look like now that “copaganda” has become a familiar term. “We’re going into an eighth season with a new challenge, which is that everyone’s knowledge and feelings about police… have been profoundly affected.This week, the men and women of New York’s 99th precinct will gather one last time as Brooklyn Nine-Nine reveals its eighth and final season, capping off more than 150 episodes of consistent and impressive workplace comedy. Season eight has tackled the Black Lives Matter movement, with the four original episodes that had been written getting put aside so that the series can focus on this crucial topic.Īndre Braugher aka Captain Raymond Holt told Entertainment Weekly: “It’s a very complicated subject, but I think they have to be portrayed much more realistically, in terms of this: the convention… that police breaking the law is okay because somehow it’s in the service of some greater good, is a myth that needs to be destroyed,” he explained in ‘The Awardist’ podcast.

hey guys angry white boy here to talk about racism, what could go wrong? I saw a post the other day that I won’t tag or anything cause I think it’s for a safe space for black people and that’s not my place? Anyway the post was essentially pointing out that people defend Billy from stranger things and glorify him even though he was very very racist. It got me thinking about how obvious racism needs to be for people to be like “oh that was racist”. Cause so many people are denying Billy was racist, he singled out the black kid and hated him, I think he called him “like that” or “that kind” at one point whICH like how can’t you tell??? But we live in times where people can say that stuff irl and worse and everyone goes “oh it was just a joke”, “oh it wasnt about race”. and that sucks. So I became hyper aware of racist shit I’ve been doing (yeah apparently you can still do that stuff once people have forgotten about black lives matter, shocking I know) and I’m gonna address them. - Avoiding watching media starring black people. I swear I never did this intentionally but when I look at the shows I’ve watched it’s like modern family, the middle, parks and rec, the office, boy meets world and brooklyn 99. While all these shows have some representation, some better than others, you can very easily make the argument that the main character and thus the person the audience is set up to empathise with most is white. And whilst characters like Captain Holt are main characters, I’d say Jake Peralta would be the main character of the show. I grew up watching fresh prince, thats so raven, true jackson vp so it’s not like I had a primarily anti-black childhood either. I genuinely think this is just because I subconsciously think I’d relate more to “white shows” which is stupid and anti black. I say anti black and not racist here cause I’ve recently been watching shows starring latin casts and as I’m typing this I’m realising I don’t know about a lot of asian shows that aren’t anime. What brought this to light is the new show Killing It which looks great, has one of the best actors around in it imo but I genuinely hesitated before watching it and I’m relatively sure it’s cause the main character is black. And that isn’t right but if I don’t admit it then it will continue. -Being hyperaware of my friends that are poc. This one I hate that I do, I’m really trying to see people as people while appreciating their cultures and where they came from but I’m so desperate to ensure that that isn’t always the focal point of our conversations that it does more damage than good. I think this will get better once I hang out with some of my poc friends (genuinely a mix of all different races here hence why im not naming the races but i get that it can sound like i mean the 2 black people i work with or something stupid like that) more and get more comfortable, right now non-white people seem new to me and I think that’s where this is an issue.

Those are things I currently do that I’ve realised are a problem and I’m fixing them. Things I used to do included: assuming people were white unless proven otherwise, spoke over poc especially black people, avoided reading about racial issues, got butthurt over really dumb stuff, assumed poc weren’t neurodiverse or queer (representation matters so much). Oh also just as an ending thing, a lot of this Ukraine support is rooted in racism - let me explain. Supporting Ukraine is important, supporting anybody suffering is important, that’s what being a human is about. However some of you acting like this is the first war and suddenly wanting to support refugees better start applying that same energy to Palestine and Syria and Iraq (yeah damage remains after a war, just cause they aint at war anymore doesnt mean theyre suddenly back to normal). “But if you look at who our enemies usually are...” 1) Racist af. 2) The enemy in the Ukraine situation is Russia and idk bout you but to me they look pretty similar.

There are so many videos on the internet of different animals coming together to take care of the young of a different animal. Because in nature, we’re programmed to look after children. If there’s a kid in need of money, I’ll give them some. If there’s a kid needing to know good adults exist and rescued, I’ll help them. I’d do absolutely anything to help a kid idk, most people are supposed to be that way like tigers and lions and wolves and dogs and any animal you can think of. But some of you won’t help a kid in a warzone because the media you like and the daily mail taught you to be scared of different melanin levels. This was a really long rant but sometimes I think this stuff is necessary, and I think sometimes a guy like me needs to say it cause you dont trust the guys that look different to me.
