strawberry lips
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
☓ pairing ! student|jungwon x newstudent|f.reader
☓ genre ! strangers to lovers, fluff
☓ wc ! 1.2k
hi there, actually pretty proud of this so i hope you enjoy;3
Tumblr media
Since the beginning Jungwon knew he would be busted the moment you stepped into the classroom. You were the new student and as you introduced yourself Jungwon was busy being love strucked, was it love at first sight? He doesn’t believe in such shit but damn he for sure considered it.
What captured him the most were your lips, those glossy pinkish lips that looked like strawberry coated with sugar.
To his luck the seat next to him was empty because a week ago his friend Sunoo changed subjects saying biology is boring as fuck… dude really thought biology would be fun? now he’s in history class as if that wasn’t even more boring.
But Jungwon couldn’t thank him enough, you‘re gonna be his new seat mate.
You were walking your way up to the empty seat noticing the boy with curious eyes watching you, you smiled at him and he returned the smile.
„Hi sorry but i didn’t catch your name“, „it’s y/n“ when you both made eye contact you swear you could see sparkles in his eyes he is so pretty
„and yours?“, „jungwon, yang jungwon.“
Jungwon couldn’t really keep his eyes off you the whole class long, he would look at you with a side-eye noticing that you’re nibbling on your gorgeus lips. „tasty?“ he asks leaning slighlty back, „huh?“, „your lips“, thinking for a second what he means by that „ohh-“ slightly chucking „..it’s a habit, but yes it’s actually tasty, tastes like strawberry“ you grin at him taking out the lipstick you always carry around, appyling it on your lips to keep them smooth.
Jungwon could only watch, mesmerized by your beauty and realising once again that he’s fucked.
 
-2 weeks later-
As you walked into school, approaching your locker you noticed Jungwon leaning on it looking fine as fuck with his leather jacket and his styled hair talking with Sunoo.
At your first day here Jungwon wanted to walk you around and introduce you to his friends, gotta say they are definetly some dorks but you knew it would never be boring. Since then you all started to be friends.
Sunoo is the one who sees you first „hi bestie“ he grins at you, putting his hand up for a high five which you high fived back „hi hi“ you laughed, turning to Jungwon seeing him already looking at you with adoration, you don’t know why but everytime you interract with Jungwon you heart beats faster.
Ever since these last two weeks you both started to bond over the tiniest things feeling really comfortable around him, such a god damn gentle man when i tell you.
Noticing him staring at your lips which were once again painted with a lipstick- „i would say blueberry or grape because they look slightly purplish“, you laughed, you both had this game in which he would guess the lipstick you had for the day, don’t know when or why this game started but it was kinda fun. „it’s blueberry“ you answered, „man i’m so good in this“ he pats his own shoulder making you giggle.
Taking your books out for biology „ready for hell?“ asking him wiggling the book of anatomy in your arm „wouldn’t call it hell when you’re with me“ he simply states, making you chocke on your saliva looking at Sunoo who only smugly smiles at you bidding his good bye for his history class „bye bye lovebirds“ leaving you alone with Jungwon who stares at your lips once again. You cough „well let’s go.“
After that flirty accident Jungwon started to get more bold, saying stuff like: hey gorgeus, princess , telling you most likely everday you look pretty, complimenting your lips, stroking the hair out of your face to have the excuse to rest his hand on your cheek, slinging his arm over your shoulder. But two could play this game.
„hey handsome“ sitting down on your seat, looking at you „hey gorgeus“, leaning down for you bag thankfully your hair covering you red cheeks, yeah you’re boldness left your body.
„are you free after school?“ he asks „why? you wanna hang out?“, „yeah i wanted to take you somewhere“ looking at him with knitted eyebrows „why does that sound like you’re gonna kill me and burry me somewhere in the woods?“, rolling his eyes „god woman you gotta stop watching true crimes“, „can’t, they’re to good, anyways yeah i’m free“, „perfect“ it was quite for a second until- „strawberry?“ noticing him staring at your lips „yes sir“ poking his dimple making him smile.
When school ended you both walked outside seeing one of Jungwons friend „HE HE“ you greeted Heeseung, him turning around looking at you annoyed „shut up michael jackson“, making you chuckle „you both going somewhere?“, „si seniorita“, looking at you with a glare „i hate your humor“ heeseung says, „you’re just jealous“ you answer back, you could annoy Heeseung 24/7, Jungwon slings his arm around your shoulder „well, before you both strangle each other i’m taking her with me see ya“ walking side by side bumping your hip into his „so where are we going?“ „you will see.“
After 15 minutes of walking you knew where he is gonna take you and your heart is about to burst, he once asked you what your favourite season of the year is and you immediately answered with „spring, definetly spring“, he looked at you „why?“ „because of the cherry blossom, they’re so so pretty“ you answered with adoration in your eyes and Jungwon only fell more in love.
Still having his arm slinged around your shoulder you take his hand that was hanging next to your neck in your hand squeezing it as you approached the ‘‘cherry blossom festival“ you looked up at him with happiness „jungwon-“, „we’re here“ he looks at you with a smile squeezing your hand back, „stop, it’s so pretty here“ you walked further from him admiring the scenery, the blossoms swaying with the wind past your hair, one sitting on top of your head.
Jungwon watches you with a big smile, you turn around walking back to him hugging him „thank you, it’s so calming and beautiful here“, he hugs you back slinging his arms around your waist „you’re welcome princess“ you lean back admiring his eyes they are full of love, moving his hand to your head he removes the blossom letting it sway with the light breeze again.
Looking you straight in the eyes one arm around your waist and the other hand on your cheek slightly caressing it with his thumb, „i love you“ your hear your heart thumping in your ears „i love you too“, leaning closer, few centimeters away from kissing each other, until he closes the gap, engulfing your lips with his, melting into his touch kissing him back he pulls you closer by the waist not wanting to break this moment, if it wouldn’t be for the oxygen, you broke the kiss catching your breath staring at him, him carressing your lips with his thumb „they do really taste like strawberry“, „tasty?“, „hell yes“ leaning down kissing you again.

Jschlatt x Ped Nurse fem!reader
I hope you guys like this! I'm actually kind of proud of it and really hope you guys are proud of it too!
Warnings: child cancer patient death, this is def angsty, hospitals?, some kissing at the end (no smut, sorry).
Words: 1,511
-------------------------------------------------------
Being the roommate of a very popular youtuber and streamer- when you’re not famous yourself at all- is a lot of pressure. You don’t like to be in his streams or videos, so whenever he’s filming or streaming, you have to lock yourself in your room till he’s done. You two had been friends and roommates since he moved to Austin. You both moved around a lot, but you didn’t really mind it because you weren’t alone doing it. Jay kind of felt like your rock in ways. Something that always pretty much stayed the same. Aside from the occasional haircut or different hoodie.
Yes, you had a little crush on him. Couldn’t really help it because he always had cute nicknames for you, always super touchy. Not to mention he was the only guy who actually ever listened to you.
Your job was pretty demanding. You were a pediatric nurse. Your whole job revolved around kids. Being around kids that much, you obviously start to feel like an older sister to them. Doing everything in your power to make sure they’re comfortable and not scared. Especially for the ones in critical care, or the ones with life risking illnesses. But, getting attached is dangerous. When the ones who are on end of life care eventually reach the end of their life, you’re just broken for days. Blaming yourself for not doing anything more for them, even though you know you did everything in your power for them. They never passed away sad, always surrounded by loved ones and the team helping them.
Today was different, though. You had a patient. A 7 year old girl with stage 4 lung cancer. She was an orphan. No family and was thrown into the hospital by her foster family and just left behind. She had been under the hospital’s care for 5 months and you formed a strong bond with her. She felt like a little sister to you. She was doing so good. She was getting better. Then, close to the end of your shift, her heart monitor went flat while a doctor was in there talking to her. It was like your whole world stopped. The cancer grew so much in what felt overnight, blocking her lungs, not letting any oxygen get in. There was no saving her. She was really gone.
When you finally got to your car after staying 2 hours overshift, helping everyone with the little girl, you completely broke down. You stayed pretty good at being neutral in the hospital, but it was just too much. How hadn’t any of you seen her cancer growing? I failed. I failed her. You almost couldn’t drive home, stopping a few times just to try and collect yourself. Pulling up to the house, you saw a car parked in front of the house. Shit. You totally forgot. Jay got home from being away in Japan today. You were so excited all day because you missed him so bad. Now look at you. A total mess. He had a super long day of travel and now he’s gonna have to deal with you being a blubbering snotty mess.
Pressing your forehead against the steering wheel, you sighed, trying to gather your emotions. When you looked up you saw him. Standing on the porch, holding the black and orange cats, smiling like a dork in that stupid Seaworld hoodie and basketball shorts. That would usually be enough to brighten your mood and make you laugh, but tonight it just made it all worse. You let out a sob and pressed your hands against your face, leaning your head back against the headrest. Jay frowned and quickly let the cats back inside, rushing over to your car and opening the door.
His arms instantly wrapped around you, his body acting like a huge cocoon of warmth and comfort for you. Sobbing into his chest- dirtying his hoodie with your tears- he rubbed your back and held you close, pressing his cheek to the top of your head. “What’s going on, hun?” His voice was soft and concerned in your ear, making you break down even harder. He gently picked you up bridal style and carried you inside the house, sitting down with you in his lap on the couch. “Gotta talk to me, sweets. Can’t help if I don’t know what’s wrong.”
“She's gone.” Your voice was scratchy and quiet. Schlatt’s heart broke seeing you like this. He didn’t know how to help you. His baby was sad, the little voice in his head whispered. Who was she? He was trying to remember if you mention anyone in recent history being close to death.
“Who’s gone?” He kept his voice gentle and rocked you in his lap a little.
“Remember the little girl who had cancer? The orphan?” He nodded- his heart sinking- and you sniffled, wiping the tears away. “H-Her cancer grew… blocked the oxygen from getting to her lungs.” You let out another heart wrenching sob and he held you closer, gently kissing your forehead. “I couldn’t help her, Jay…. I didn’t even see her cancer was growing! I failed her… I wasn’t with her when she died. I promised her I would be there with her!”
He shook his head and forced your chin up to look him in the eyes. “Babe, you did everything you could to help her. You had no control over what happened. She was sick, baby…. You did more for that little girl than anyone probably ever had before in her life.”
Knowing he was right, you nodded and leaned the side of your head against his chest, just trying to focus on his steady heartbeat in your ear. When you eventually stopped crying, you managed to get up to take a shower and get in pajamas. Luckily you had the next two days off. You probably would’ve called out anyway if you didn’t have them off. When you got out of the shower, you saw stuff laid out on your bed. A smile formed on your face. They were little gifts Jay got for you while he was away. He always did that for you when he went on a trip, but this time it just felt so much more substantial. After looking at what they were, you heard him in the kitchen.
A frown formed on your face when your mind started racing. He was always doing things for you. Always comforting you on bad days, always buying you things you’ve shown interest in, face timing you on your breaks at work just to try and make you laugh because he knows how rough your job is. He was always just there. Your heart started racing. This wasn’t just a crush, this was love. You were in love with him.
Gaining all the courage you could possibly muster at that moment, you rushed out of your room and to where he was in the kitchen. He was making food for the both of you. He looked up at you and smiled. “Good shower? Help a little bit? I’m making this chicken thing Ted told me to try-” Before he could say anything else, you grabbed his face and kissed him. His hands took a second to land on your hips, but when they did, he pulled you close and kissed you back, letting out a soft grunt. Fuck. It was so much better than you ever imagined. His lips were so soft and tasted like cherry chapstick, his facial hair lightly scratched at your cheeks in the best way possible, his hands roamed the length of your back, keeping you pressed up close against him.
When you finally pulled away, his eyes were wide with shock, lips parted and tongue nervously running across his bottom lip. “I love you.” The words came out before you could stop them, and you saw a deep red spread across his cheeks and nose, a smile forming on his lips. “Damnit Jonathan, say something!” Your voice came out needier than you wanted it to, but it got the message across because his lips landed on yours again, sucking out the last bit of anxiety left in your body.
Your arms wrapped around his neck and you moaned softly into his mouth. He pulled away after a few seconds and pressed his forehead against yours, lightly rubbing his nose against yours, smiling wide. You giggled and he started peppering your face with soft kisses, making you blush a bright scarlett. “God, I love you too, toots.” His voice was laced with amusement and just pure adoration. He couldn’t even believe what was happening. You in his arms, your lips on his. It was everything he imagined and more.
He vowed to you that he’d treat you like the princess you are, promising to never cause you pain or heartache. Because why would he do anything less. You were his girl now. He wasn’t just gonna let it go. He was forever and always yours, and you were his.
-- Bree <3

Someone give me ideas of what to write with him or Ted 😭 I don’t have anymore ideas

Dude, My Babysitter Is A Ghost AU
AKA the Gravity Falls Danny Phantom crossover, and why it should have more content because IMAGINE the HIJINKS:
First, the sheer fucking Horror of Vlad and Gideon meeting, can you EVEN imagine?!?
But then also imagine the stupidest triangle in the world with; Stan trying to scam Vlad out of his money, Vlad trying to scam Ford out of his ideas, and Ford helping Mable matchmake his brother the con with the other scammer.
Why? well - "They'll kill each other or they'll kiss, maybe both." "Sounds romantic!" "Sounds disgusting, actually. But at least they'll leave me alone so, let's do it." "That's the spirit, sorta! Great to have you on board Grunkle Ford!"
Then you have Sam interacting with the teen squad and she fucking hates Robbie for being such a poser and a jerk, she barely gets along with any of them tbh except obviously Wendy and, perhaps less obviously, Thompson.
It's nor like Danny and Tucker don't hang out with the teen squad, but they've got their own things going on.
Danny has his hands full with the twins and their friends, not to mention the mystery shack as a whole.
Tucker took an apprenticeship with McGucket and now they are so ahead of the curve it's wild.
Jazz bonds with Wendy over being older sisters and with Dipper and Ford over science, but real goal is to help the town.
After the "never mind all that" act was repelled, people have been able to talk about their weirdmageddon experiences.
However, talking about it brought back unpleasant memories, and with the blind eye society gone those memories were there to stay.
That meant having to deal with supernatural trauma, for the first time in the case of many people in gravity falls, and luckily as a resident of Amity Park and a student of psychology, she wants to offer her support in any way she can.
Her help is not professional but it's very useful and she's about the only expert on the subject, able to help both the human townies who have dealt with the supernatural, and the supernatural residents witn their own complex issues.
Pacifica takes ass kicking lessons from Valerie and learns how to go from rich bitch who bosses people around to do her dirty work for her, to bad bitch who takes charge of her own life, can handle situations and gets 👏🏻 shit 👏🏻 done👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
She also recognizes Sam as Fellow old money with mommy and daddy issues and a crush on a nerdy loser dork who's too cute and smart and sassy for their soft hearts, despite their rough exterior, so they have an ✨️understanding✨️
There's so much more I can say, but I'll leave it here for now.

Christine Canigula was socially ostracized & developed a complex to protect herself: an essay
(suddenly i NEED to infodump about Christine actually so here)
Something I only noticed on rewatch: the way Christine will say something silly and then just kind of gingerly wait to see if Jeremy reacts well to it before continuing, almost like she's asking permission?? (e.g. the gap after the first stanza of "Play Rehearsal"). And it's only after he riffs off her bowling alley bit that she feels comfortable talking about her personal feelings with him (right before "Guy that I'd Kinda be Into"). The same happens with their "weird noise" exchange immediately before "It's pretty killer to sit and chat with you." I know theater relies on being succinct, and that 'bonding over shared quirks' and 'feelings talk' are both just crucial parts of relationship development... but I don't think it's a coincidence that it always goes in that order!
It's like Jeremy has to pass these *trials of weirdness* before she feels safe opening up to him and it drives me BONKERS so I wrote a whole 1000 word thing about it under the cut and this got too massive and I'm sorry. Also some autistic Jeremy meta at the end if that sweetens the pot hehehe
Table of contents:
Why she was ostracized
How she was ostracized
How that might inform her pattern of relationship development with Jeremy and Jake
How gender caused Jeremy's experiences to differ from hers, and how that affects their current relationships with "popularity" and peer acceptance.
1. Why she was ostracized
I am just so certain that Christine has been bullied or at least majorly outcast for a lot of her life. She's very obviously neurodivergent and because of that she can have these obnoxiously deep and repetitive interests, she can't judge if a piece of information will be genuinely interesting to someone, and she doesn't take social cues very well.
She frequently interrupts people when they're talking (an ADHD symptom btw), even when they're literally talking to her about the thing she wants to hear!
(C: "Do you find that? Because I totally find that!" J: "Uh, yeah, I-" C: "-And no matter how hard I try....")
(J: "I know the last thing I deserve is another shot, but-" C:"Jeremy, just... say what's on your mind.") (girl I'm sorry but that's what he was doing..... I have a whole other thoughtpiece on how this particularly fucks with Jeremy while they're dating but thats another thing...)
She doesn't seem confident in her interpretations of people's emotions and she'll ask/talk about them point blank (both theirs and her own) in a way a lot of people would find rude
("Uh, you seem really nervous...") ("Popular people are fucked up! *mutual laughter* …I mean, you're one of them!") ("I am flattered, this is new / still I'm not sure what I should do" <- as a response to getting asked out, that's pretty bold! Plus the entire part where she laughs at Jake's "rich boy routine") (also compare and contrast to Jeremy's "I don't know what I'm supposed to say right now." idk. are your allistic stage dorks in the room with us right now motherfuckers)
I'd go on about her hyperfixations/special interests too but I think Play Rehearsal pretty much sums it up lol
2. How she was ostracized
All this to say that I am CERTAIN she spent a lot of her schooling having "nice girls" patiently let her sit with them at lunch for weeks at a time until they finally get sick of her rambling and faux pas. Only when they leave does Christine realize that they didn't actually care about anything she said... And this happens over and over and over. (I know this seems hella specific but I swear it's an actual phenomenon... at least I'm pretty sure? sdjflksjf)
But anyway, it's clear that by the time they're juniors, Christine has kind of (and I do only mean kind of) figured out what behaviour other people respond poorly to. And from evidence I stated in the intro, I think she's become really careful about which people she lets herself get attached to. She doesn't want this to ever happen again - which means if she's going to hang out with someone, she has to know that they actually care about her, that they know she will sometimes be obnoxious or blunt, and they'll still be okay with that forever.
3. Applying this to her canon relationships
You can extend this to Jake, someone who sees her in her element in drama rehearsal (the thing everyone finds annoying about her because she won't shut up about it) and STILL likes her. I think it's a totally valid reading that her bluntness with him later ("Upgrade") is just because she misreads him / doesn't quite get the social standard that she should be white lying instead. But I think you could also read her as testing the waters. If she's really going to commit to dating this guy, she's gotta know he's okay with her being herself. And the fact that this guy (and I think it's significant that he is a boy, for reasons I'll explain in the end note) genuinely seems to like her is a whole new level of peer validation ("I am flattered, this is new") -- so of course she's gonna fall at least a little! It doesn't hurt that he's "tired of being the person that everyone thinks that I am..." just like her!
Her history with being pity-liked makes Chloe's "advice," that Jake's just toying with her and is going to move on soon, even scarier, because that's genuinely happened to her (on a platonic level) so many times before.
Jeremy is also a good candidate from the beginning because he's weird he's a weirdo he doesn't fit in and he doesn't wanna fit in you ever see him without this stupid cardigan on? that's weird! And she keeps warming up to him not only because they're getting to know each other but because he gets progressively more willing to not only tolerate (as Jake does) but *participate* in her weirdness!
First, she does something weird and he tolerates it ("Play Rehearsal"); the next time she's weird, he participates! (bowling ball before GTIKBI). Then finally finally finally he initiates the weirdness and lets her join in! ("weird noises" exchange before GTIKBI reprise).
And notably, it is THIS moment that canonically signifies that they've hit the apex of their canon relationship development. If there was an achievement called "Befriend Christine," it would have popped up right then and there!!!
IN CONCLUSION: YOUR HONOR I LOVE THEM T_T
4: Christine vs. Jeremy: Gender differences & how that ultimately impacts their social goals
I also think all of this would have happened to Jeremy too if he'd been a girl. But because, generally, young boys feel less social obligation than girls to take pity on the autistic kid (and because boys tend to be more quickly recognized as autistic) he just ends up completely alone for most of his school life (Michael nonwithstanding - and yeah there's an important distinction between your childhood friend putting up with you and knowing that, woah, I guess literally nobody else ever will).
Meanwhile, Christine has had people "put up" with her, and she's SICK OF IT!
That's part of why their complexes are so different, because Christine is trying to check everyone she meets to make sure they'll be okay with her weirdness before she gets attached, Jeremy is trying to eliminate his weirdness altogether because he's never even experienced his peers listening out of *pity* so how the hell can he expect someone to ever listen to him out of *interest?*
Jeremy has never had someone pretend to like him before, so he completely lacks Christine's fear of befriending someone who secretly hates you. He doesn't realize how bad it'll hurt him if he destroys his real self for popularity, if he befriends people who would have bullied his real self. He doesn't know what disingenuous friendship feels like, so like a very young Christine he's still actively trying to get there because he thinks it's the only kind of validation he'll ever get.
Do you see what im saying? Do you see it???? AUAUGUGUUGGH

I hope you all have a lovely day/night!!
Tumblr media
.⋅ ۵♡۵ ⋅.
She took in a wobbly breath, her bottom lip quivering as she pressed the heels of her palms into her eyes. Trying her hardest to slow her tears.
She hated love. Absolutely loathed it.
All it brought along was pain and misery. There was no such thing as a fairytale romance. No such thing as love at first sight. No such thing as soulmates. It was just an aching, sinking feeling in her chest. A black hole swallowing her completely.
Love was chaos.
And she never wanted to feel it again.
"What are you doing?" He asked in confusion, staring down at the girl in front of him.
Y/n was hanging upside down off her couch, lips pursed in a pout and eyebrows drawn together. "Looking for a new perspective." She hummed simply.
Tanaka bobbed his head with a nod, as if he understood what she was talking about. "Ahh, I see. Yeah that makes perfect sense."
Y/n snorted at his mocking tone, "If you're going to be snippy about it, you can leave."
Ryū huffed, "You're the one who invited me, dumbass." He took a spot on the couch next to her, putting his legs up on the back of it and hanging down much like she was.
She simply responded by sticking her tongue out at him. Tanaka copied her.
"What exactly are you trying to gain a new perspective of?"
Y/n's head turned towards him and she stared at him for a moment. Taking in the sight of her best friend. Ryū was beautiful. At least, she thought so. For a bald headed weirdo. Yes, he would argue that he was not bald and in fact buzzed, but she'd simply shrug and say they were the same thing - if only to mess with him further.
His eyes were mesmerizing. Dark and stormy. Reminding her of the sea. She could hear the waves crashing against the shore. His hands, large and calloused, yet warm. Strong. Comforting. His smile, toothy and wide. As bright as the sun. How she adored his smile.
As she gazed at him, she pondered whether or not she should be honest with him.
"Just..." she started, getting lost in his eyes as he watched her. Waiting patiently for a reply. "Life."
And there it was. That smile. Taking up half of his face as he let out a boisterous and contagious laugh.
"You're such a dork, y'know that?"
Y/n's heart squeezed at the sight before her and she let out a chuckle of her own. Reaching over to shove at Ryūnosuke playfully. "Shut up, jack ass."
Y/n had been best friends with Ryūnosuke for as long as she could remember. They were neighbors and his older sister often babysat her as a kid. Of course, Ryū would tag along on occasion, as they were around the same age. (She was 9 months younger, but she didn't count that-)
They didn't hit it off instantly. In fact, Y/n thought Ryū to be an impulsive and pigheaded oaf half the time. And Ryū thought her to be a conceded and pristine little brat. But over time they started to like each other more and more.
Now they were practically inseparable.
Tanaka's parents weren't around much, and so he came over a lot. All the time, actually. And because his sister worked as hard as she did, it was usually just him and Y/n. And her parents both worked too, so they weren't always home either.
Not that they minded. They liked it being just the two of them. And had developed a close bond because of that. They even had their own traditions. No one else was apart of it, it was just them. Always had been and hopefully always would be.
It wasn't until semi-recently that Y/n had discovered her feelings for Tanaka.
Truth be told, she kind of always knew. But she ignored them. Pretended they were something else. Forced herself to believe otherwise.
It was fear that kept those feelings at bay. Hidden deep within herself. But over time, the things you bottle up have to come out eventually. As much as she wanted to, she couldn't bottle up her feelings forever.
Sooner or later they were bound to erupt.
Y/n's hands clutched at her notebook, crinkling some of the paper from the force. Her heart was beating so fast she was sure it was going to explode. Her palms became clammy and she bit down on her lip to stop it from quivering.
She had come to see Tanaka's practice, like she usually did whenever she had the time.
However, this was not what she came here to see. Ryūnosuke fawning all over Kiyoko. It wasn't the first time she had witnessed it, but each time felt like a stab to the chest.
She hated seeing him get so excited over a girl.
A girl that wasn't her.
Envy ran through her veins and no matter how hard she tried to force the nauseating feeling to go away, it never did. Y/n felt stupid. Getting so overworked, so upset, over a guy.
But this wasn't just any guy. It was Ryū.
The same boy who shoved her childhood bullies off the swing sets when they made her cry. The same boy who would carry spiders outside for her, because while she was scared of them she didn't want them to die. The same boy who snuck through her window every time she had a nightmare. The same boy who gave her his umbrella because she didn't have one, and walked home in the rain instead. The same boy who gave her flowers every year on her birthday, her favorite kind too. The same boy who brought her boiled potatoes every day for a week straight because she was sick and wouldn't eat anything else.
This was Ryūnosuke Tanaka, her greatest and grandest friend.
And he was in love with Kiyoko. Not her.
Y/n waited for Tanaka outside the gym like she usually did. They always walked home together.
However, Tanaka was no where in sight.
Deciding to give him the benefit of the doubt, she chose to wait for him. She busied herself with reading, Y/n always kept a book on her. She had an earbud in as well, playing one of her many playlists in an attempt to further help pass time.
It wasn't until about 45 minutes later that Tanaka actually showed. She snapped her book shut, slipping it away into her bag and doing her best not to show her irritation.
"Hey," she glanced up at him and nodded in greeting. "Hey."
"Sorry I'm a bit late."
She shrugged as if it was nothing. "It's fine. I used the time to catch up on my reading."
"Well at least you got to do that." He teased as the two of them began walking. Y/n rolled her eyes, chancing a glance in his direction. Ryū had his eyes on the sky, his hands were shoved into the pockets of the gray hoodie he was wearing. He hadn't realized she was looking at him, thankfully. He always walked on the side closest to the road, wanting to protect his friends.
They walked in comfortable silence for a few minutes. Simply enjoying the sights and each other's company. Like they usually did. Y/n couldn't help but think of earlier. Of the way Ryū's eyes lit up at the sight of Kiyoko. Of how he showed off for her during practice. How his smile, the one that was as bright as the sun, was directed towards her. Was she the reason he was late?
"So," she breathed out, tearing her gaze away from him just as he glanced in her direction. "Is Kiyoko the reason why you were late?" Her tone was teasing, and she grinned at him as if she truly believed there was no way that could be true. As if it was just a joke between two friends.
Tanaka's cheeks warmed at the accusation and he cleared his throat, rubbing at the back of his neck. "Yeah, actually.."
Her smile instantly fell.
"What?"
"We were just talking and I lost track of time. I didn't mean to make you wait so long. But uh, I've been thinking of asking her out."
Y/n blinked, trying her best to wrap her head around this. "Ask her out?" Her chest tightened and her stomach dropped. Ryū had once again returned his gaze to the sky, so he had yet to notice her rigid posture and the frown pulling at her soft lips.
"Yeah. I've had a thing for her for a long time now, and I think.. I think she might like me too. At least, that's what Noya said." He turned to flash a grin in her direction, but it faltered at the broken expression she wore.
"Y/n? Hey, are you okay?"
She felt like a hot iron rod had been shoved down her throat. She nodded, a bit too quickly and did her best to force a smile on her face. "What? Yeah, of course. I'm fine. Just thinking is all... I'm really happy for you, Ryū." Her voice wobbled as she spoke his name and she bit down on her tongue. Praying he wouldn't notice.
Ryūnosuke didn't look convinced, but luckily, he decided against saying anything. At least, for now. "Thanks, Y/n. So uh.. I was hoping you'd help me with something?"
She couldn't speak, tongue thick and heavy. So she only nodded, being unable to do anything else.
"Do you think you could help me ask her out? I mean- I just- want to say all the right stuff, ya know?" His cheeks were pink, pinker than they were before. And he wouldn't meet her gaze. She was thankful for that, at least.
Her eyes stung with tears and at the sight of her house she began to pick up the pace. Tanaka seemed to notice this, and he arched a thick brow in confusion. "Y/n?"
"Yes." She choked out, quickly making her way to the door and keeping her back to him. Throat tight as she fumbled with her keys. "Y-Yeah, I'll help you. Sorry I just uh, I gotta pee so- I'll- I'll see you later-" she didn't give him a chance to respond as she opened the door and quickly shut it behind her.
Y/n's back hit the door and she stood there. Unable to move. Unable to breathe. Slowly her tears began to slip down her cheeks and then she found herself sliding down the door. Hand coming up to press against her mouth, to muffle her cries.
This was silly.
This was stupid.
She couldn't possibly be crying over a boy.
But no matter how hard she willed herself to stop, to force her tears to stop flowing. They only came faster, blurring her vision and restricting her air flow. Her breaths came out in short bursts, gasping as she wailed.
She pulled her knees to her chest, cradling herself in an attempt to give herself some small form of comfort. As she predicted, it didn't really work.
Y/n didn't respond to any of his texts that night. Instead replying in the morning and making an excuse of getting distracted by homework.
Tanaka either bought it, or decided against saying anything.
The next few days were filled with her giving her advice on how to ask Kiyoko out. She decided to bite the bullet and just get it done and over with. She was his best friend, after all. This is what a best friend does. She wanted Tanaka to be happy. And if that meant helping him get together with some other girl, then so be it.
Besides, their special tradition was coming up. And at least she got to look forward to that.
Every year, on the anniversary of their friendship, Ryūnosuke and Y/n would get together on her rooftop and watch the sunrise. No matter what day it was, how tired they got, if they had school the next day. It didn't matter. Because this was for them. Just them. It was a special moment for the both of them and they looked forward to it each year.
That wasn't all they did. They'd usually decorate the roof together, make a little area with pillows and blankets where they could sit comfortably. They'd hang a sheet from a wire connecting to some trees for a makeshift screen and use her small projector to watch some of their favorite movies. They'd make snacks together, which usually would end up in a food fight. They'd snuggle up under a blanket and watch the stars, laughing at inside jokes and reminiscing on memories. Tanaka would pretend he knew constellations and would make up random names for them, pointing to bunches of stars as if they were the real deal.
Sure, it wasn't a grand affair but it was fun. And it was special. It was tradition.
Tumblr media
Wednesday, 4:37 PM.
ryū <3
hey, i'm gonna be a bit late
i promised kiyoko i'd
take her home
y/n
hey, that's okay thanks
for letting me know
want me wait for you to set
up and make the snacks?
ryū <3
nah thats okay
you can start without me
Y/n bit down on her lip in frustration, staring down at her phone in her hand. He didn't want to help set up? He didn't want to help with the snacks?
They've always set up together.
They've always made the snacks together.
It was tradition. It was part of the fun.
Maybe he'd make it in time to still help out a bit?
Y/n stashed her cell away in her pocket before setting off to work. She placed down a blanket on top of the roof and grabbed a few folded ones for them to use when they were up there. She put up some of her fairy lights and then set up some lanterns. The sheet was next, coupled by her laptop and projector. She tossed up some extra pillows for more comfort before getting started on the food.
Cookies, they were a must. They had them every year. Chocolate chip and gingerbread. Hot cocoa was also a must. She prepared an array of different snacks, some which she had gotten earlier in the week for this very night. She had to travel all the way to Tokyo for a few of them. Their favorite bakery was there and held some fan favorites they had each year. The owners knew them by name. They knew exactly what they came for when they came in around this time of year.
This time, Y/n ended up coming alone. It did not go unnoticed. She claimed Tanaka was busy, which he was, trying to seduce Kiyoko. But that didn't make it any harder.
Everything was ready. An hour and a half had passed and Ryū still hadn't shown.
Y/n was just about to call him when she heard a knock on her door. Strange, Ryū never knocked he always just came in but she didn't think much of it and moved to answer the door.
"Well it's about damn time. What took you so long anyway-" she yanked the door open and stopped in her tracks.
Ryū beamed up at her sheepishly, apologetically, and next to him stood Kiyoko.
"Hey, sorry we're late. We got to talking and time just flew by!"
Y/n blinked, hand still on the doorknob, half tempted to slam the door in their faces. "It's.. fine.."
"Did you get everything done in time?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Oh great! Think we can come in? It's fucking freezing out here."
Y/n was silent for a moment, staring at his arm which was thrown over Kiyoko's shoulders.
"Earth to Y/n?"
The door flung open. "Yeah, yeah, come in." She turned her back to them, eyes stinging as she padded her way to the kitchen.
This had to be some fucking joke, right?
He was messing with her, wasn't he?
"Sorry for coming without warning, Tanaka ensured me it was okay." Kiyoko spoke from behind her and Y/n took in a quiet breath before responding.
"It's fine. Don't worry about it." She flashed a small smile towards her from over her shoulder, trying to remain polite and civil.
Kiyoko sent a small smile back.
"The food looks great!" Ryū hummed, observing the array set out on the kitchen island. "You outdid yourself this time, Y/n."
Said female could only smile. Not knowing what to say. Part of her still couldn't believe this was real.
The three of them helped bring some of the snacks up to the roof, they had to get there via Y/n's bedroom window. Which she found a bit awkward. Kiyoko had never been to her house before. They weren't very close and while she was a nice girl it just felt strange having her in her room.
Perhaps this was Tanaka's way of getting them to become closer? The girl he liked and his best friend. But if that was the case, why did he have to pick tonight of all times? It was their special night. Their tradition. No one else had ever been involved, had ever been allowed to be involved.
Y/n had just finished grabbing the container of cookies as she made her way to the window. Ryū and Kiyoko were already settled on the rooftop. They had a blanket draped over their shoulders and their hands were connected. She did her best not to stare. They were talking to each other, she had no idea what the conversation was about and honestly she didn't care.
She didn't want to sit next to them while they were cuddling, but she didn't have much of a choice. She did her best not to seem stiff and awkward, but she failed miserably.
They had barley been here five minutes and she already felt like a third wheel.
Y/n decided to start one of the movies, as Tanaka and Kiyoko had been talking for the past several minutes while she just sat there. At least this way she might be able to distract herself from this horrendous night. And perhaps they'd shut the fuck up.
The talking did calm down a little, but Ryū was still very much all over Kiyoko. The sight alone was enough to make Y/n's blood boil. She felt so uncomfortable. And she was angry that he brought her here in the first place. This was their thing. Their special night. Their tradition. Sure, it might not have been very flashy. All they did was sit at home and hang out. But it was their thing. They did it every year. They had never brought along other friends before.
And he hadn't even asked if it was okay first.
Y/n was torn between just letting it go and trying to have a good time, or allowing herself to be mad about it. She wouldn't say anything in front of Kiyoko. That wasn't fair to her. It wasn't like she asked to be here, Tanaka was the one who brought her along and said it was okay. But even then, she didn't want to make him feel bad either. Maybe she was just being stupid.
She was torn from her thoughts at the sound of Kiyoko giggling at something Ryū had said. Y/n glanced over in their direction, being unable to stop herself. He had his arm around her shoulders and was feeding her something. She laughed as she took it from him, shaking her head to herself. Their cheeks were flushed and Y/n felt her stomach drop. She started to stand up and make her way towards her bedroom window.
"I'm just gonna go to the bathroom real quick," she mumbled out the excuse, and Tanaka nodded in acknowledgment.
Y/n climbed through the window, being careful not to trip as she made her way inside. Like she had said, she went to her bathroom which was connected to her room.
After closing and locking the door behind her, Y/n turned to face her relfection in the mirror. Her eyes were glazed with tears, but she refused to let them fall. She sucked in a shaky breath and turned on the cold water, splashing her face with it.
Why was this so complicated? She should just suck it up and be happy for him.
There was nothing she could do about it now. Her feelings would have to be bottled up and forgotten.
No matter how hard it may be.
Y/n let out a sigh and dabbed her face dry with a towel. "I can't wait for this shit to be over..."
As she made her way back into her room, she paused in front of her window. Freezing in place at the sight before her.
Her hands latched onto each other. Gripping so tightly they shook. Her eyes were wide and glossy, and she bit down on her lip to stop it from trembling.
Kiyoko and Tanaka were kissing. One of his massive paws was cupping the side of her face and the other sat on her waist. One of her hands cupped the back of his neck while the other sat atop his shoulder.
That was the final straw.
Y/n yanked the window open, causing Kiyoko to jump and pull away from Tanaka at the sound. She closed the laptop and started tossing things inside her room.
"Y/n, what-"
"You guys have to leave."
Ryū arched a brow in confusion. "What, why?"
She shook her head, claiming she'd get the rest later and threw their jackets at them. Tanaka caught them easily. "Don't worry about cleaning up, I can do it." Y/n said, waving Kiyoko off as she reached to help with a food platter.
The two shared a look before following Y/n inside. She started carrying the food in, quickly putting them on the kitchen island. Before she could slip past them to grab the rest, Tanaka reached over and grabbed her arm. Holding her firmly in place. "Y/n, stop. What's goin' on?"
Y/n looked up at him, biting the inside of her cheek to contain herself. "It's nothing-"
"Well, clearly it isn't. We've barley been here an hour-"
"My cat is sick!" She blurted. Being unable to come up with a better excuse.
Ryū's eyebrows furrowed. "Toji? He looked fine earlier-"
"He's sick. He was throwing up when I came in." She sputtered, sticking to it and hoping Toji was hiding somewhere- that was until she saw Toji brushing up against Tanaka's leg. He sent her a look.
"He seems fine to me."
Kiyoko bent down and gave him a scritch, the feline let out a little mew. Purring as she pet him.
Y/n's face paled and she quickly yanked herself out of Tanaka's grip and reached down to grab her cat. Cradling him in her chest. "No, I think he ate a toxic plant - I thought I saw him eating something and I wasn't sure before but-but now I am! So you guys need to go."
She ushered them towards the door, Ryūnosuke nearly tripping over his own two feet as she did so. "Y/n-"
"I'll call you later. Promise." She sent him a tight lipped smile and made no hesitation to quickly slam the door shut once they were outside.
Toji wriggled in her grasp, but she didn't let him go. Not until a few minutes had passed and she was sure they were gone. The fat cat jumped from her arms and went to go munch on some leftover kibble in his dish. Y/n watched him with a teary gaze. Silent and still. She sniffled, reaching up to wipe at her eyes harshly.
This was shit.
This whole evening sucked shit.
Their tradition felt lame. It felt like he didn't even care about it anymore.
She was done with it. She didn't want to deal with these stupid feelings anymore.
"Stupid Ryū.." she cried, shuffling over towards the island and snatching up a cookie. She practically shoved the entire thing in her mouth, muffling her cries.
"Fuck.." She sniffed, "I hate men."
A week went by and Y/n did her best to avoid Kiyoko and Tanaka. She barley responded to his texts and definitely didn't answer his calls. Y/n felt it was best to take herself out of the equation. It was too hard to be around the two of them. Especially right now. Maybe once her feelings for him faded a bit?
She dodged him as best as possible, saying she was keeping a close eye on Toji and she had lots of homework to do anyway.
But keeping away from him provided to be more difficult that she originally thought. He was a persistent mother fucker. He obviously knew something was wrong, or off, but no matter what he did or how hard he tried, Y/n wouldn't tell him what. She'd just brush him off and tell him she had something to do. Then she would leave. She hadn't been to any of his practises either.
Ryūnosuke didn't know what was going on, but he was determined to get to the bottom of it.
Y/n opened her locker to get a textbook she needed for her final class. She was listening to music in a poor attempt to drown out her sorrows. Feeling a hand on her shoulder, the female jumped and whipped around. Hand coming up on instinct and slapping the person's face. Her mouth droppen open and she yanked out an ear bud. "Ryū! What the hell! You scared the crap out of me!"
Tanaka cradled his face, eyes wide in surprise before he let out a burst of chuckles. "Damn, Y/n. You're stronger than you look."
Said girl scowled. "Yeah.." she mumbled, not sure what else to say. She turned back towards her locker and started putting away a few things. "Did you need something?" Y/n was trying her hardest not to get upset. But it felt like someone had shoved cotton down her throat and she really wasn't ready to be this close to Ryū yet. She just needed some time...
"Actually, I did want to talk to you about something." He leaned against the lockers next to hers, sliding his hands into his pockets.
She let out a sigh. "I really don't have time right now, I need to get to my next class-"
"It'll only take a sec." He reasoned, taking her silence as a 'go ahead'.
"Look, I know you've been avoiding me lately and I just want to know why-"
Y/n scoffed, shaking her head to herself bitterly. Tanaka's eyebrows furrowed as he studied the sour expression on her face. "What?"
"It's nothing." She snipped, struggling to put her textbook into her bag. Fumbling with the opening as she tried to get herself to calm down.
"Well clearly it's something."
"Just drop it, Ryūnosuke." Y/n spat, shooting him a glare in frustration. Her chest was growing tight and it was starting to feel all stuffy in here. She finally got her textbook into her bag and slammed her locker shut.
Tanaka watched her in surprise, she never called him by his name. It was almost always Ryū. "No, I'm not gonna just drop it." He kicked himself off the lockers and moved in front of her, blocking her path.
"Move."
"No."
Her shoulders sunk. "Get out of the way."
He rose his brows, staring at her challengingly. "Not until to tell me what's going on."
Y/n ran her tongue along her teeth, once again shaking her head. "I'm not dealing with you right now." She moved to step past him but he grabbed her, stopping her from going anywhere.
"Y/n, I'm bein' serious. Tell me what's wrong." He pleaded, stormy eyes searching her own relentlessly.
"So am I. Now let me go." She demanded, trying and failing to get away from him. Her eyes were starting to sting and she knew she had to get out of there fast. Lest she break into tears in front of him.
"I will if you just tell me-"
"I don't want to do our tradition anymore!" She snapped, hands balling into fists, nails puncturing her skin.
Ryū's eyes widened and he took a moment to take what she said in. "What?"
"It's stupid, and it clearly doesn't matter to you anyways, so I'm done. I don't want to do it anymore." Y/n's voice cracked and she bit down on her lip to stop herself from saying anything more than that.
"What are you on about? Of course it matters to me." He huffed, completely taken aback by her words.
"Well clearly, it doesn't." She argued pathetically.
"Is.. is this because I brought Kiyoko over?"
Y/n let out a dry chuckle, lowering her head and blinking furiously to try and stop her tears. Just hearing it stung. It felt like a slap in the face. A bitter reminder of that horrid night. "It's our thing, Ryūnosuke. Ours. Not anyone elses. You should have called me, you should have asked first before just bringing her over."
"You're right. I'm sorry I didn't check with you first. But I didn't think it was a big deal. It's not like it's a super important tradition or anything."
Her gaze snapped up to his. "Not important?" She asked, ripping herself away from him.
"Y/n, I didn't mean- hold on a sec-" she tried to get past him again but he grabbed her once more, directing her back in front of him.
"It is important just not like... super important, y'know? It's just some silly thing we started doin' as kids. I thought it would be fun to bring other's into it." Tanaka reasoned, but Y/n shook her head.
"Well, it doesn't matter now. Because it's done. I don't want to do it anymore."
"Y/n, come on, you're seriously going to stop doing the tradition over something this stupid-"
"Yeah. I am."
Ryū's eyebrows came together in frustration and he clicked his tongue. "What is the matter with you? You haven't been acting like yourself."
Y/n rolled her eyes, fed up with his pestering. She just wanted to leave. It was too soon. He should have just let her go. "You're the one who isn't acting like themselves. Kiyoko this, Kiyoko that, fucking bullshit." She hissed, yanking a hand through her hair in agitation. She hadn't meant to let that slip out but she couldn't help herself. He had her cornered and she needed to get the hell out of there.
Ryūnosuke stared at her in shock, but before he could get another word out, Y/n removed herself from his grasp and stormed into the girl's bathroom. Slamming the door behind her.
It was too late to stop her tears now. Y/n cursed under her breath, glad no one else was in here. She started to fan at her face, hoping it would help. It was a futile attempt.
"Y/n, wait. Come back!" She heard Ryū's voice through the door and she puffed out her cheeks in agitation.
"Go away!" She choked out.
"Y/n, c'mon. I wanna talk about this." He leaned his head against the door, hitting the wood with a small thud.
"What did you mean by all that?"
She snorted at that, scrubbing at her eyes, thankful that she wasn't wearing any makeup or mascara to smudge.
"Y/n, don't make me come in there. You know I will." Ryūnosuke huffed, cringing as some passerbys sent him strange looks.
She shook her head, even though she knew he couldn't see her. She quickly slipped into one of the stalls, closing the lid and sitting down on the toilet. She buried her face in her hands and pray that he wouldn't come in or hear her crying.
Tanaka let out a sigh before pushing the door open and storming inside. He couldn't see Y/n anywhere but there was only one stall closed so he walked over to it and kicked the door open. Spotting his best friend sniffling into her hands, whilst sitting on the lid of the toilet.
He crouched down and placed a hands atop her knees. Giving them a gentle squeeze.
"I could have been peeing." She grumbles out angrilly and he cracks a small grin. "Y/n.. Talk to me. Please."
Y/n lets out a puff of air, peeking at him with red puffy eyes through her fingers. Ryū sends her an ecouraging smile, thumbs brushing against her legs softly. She wets her lips with her tongue nervously. "I'm happy for you, Ryūnosuke-"
"Stop calling me that."
She sends him a look.
"It's Ryū."
She snorts at this, rolling her eyes before continuing. "I'm happy for you, Ryū. I truly a-am. I don't want you to th-think that I'm not. I'm your best friend and if you're happy, I'm h-happy. But I can't help the aching feeling in my chest. I'm s-so scared of losing you. I don't w-wanna lose y-you. I just... I just need time. I dunno."
His eyebrows come together again as he processes this. "Is this about Kiyoko?"
Y/n deadpans. "No, it's about Nishi, you dumb fuck."
Her chest tightens with the realization that she's already said too much. And with the soft look on his face, she feels her heart stutter within her chest. Suddenly she's very aware of where his hands are. And she starts to shake her head. Trying to stand up and push Tanaka off of her.
"J-Just forget it, f-forget I said a-anything." She started, wishing this conversastion had never happened in the first place.
Ryū stumbled a bit, catching himself on the edge of the door before he could fall. He quickly stood up and grabbed Y/n by her arms, stopping her from going anywhere. He pinned her against the wall of the stall. "Y/n, stop! You can't just say all that stuff and then dip!"
"Yes, I can. I j-just did! Now let me go, Ryū!" She tried to get out of his hold again, but this time he wasn't letting her go anywhere. Not without a proper answer.
"I'm not letting you go anywhere! I don't understand, I know I can be a bit dense about this kinda stuff so I need ya to tell me straight up!"
"Ryū stop!" She wailed, pathetically trying to push him off of her.
"No! Tell me what's wrong! Tell me what's going on inside that thick head of yours! Tell me how I can fix this!" He begged, not meaning to yell at her but being unable to help himself.
"I like you, asshole!"
Ryūnosuke's eyes widen and in his moment of surprise, he losens his grip a little. Before he realizes, Y/n manages to shove him off of her. She pushed past him, a heap of tears, and runs out the bathroom.
Leaving Tanaka standing there dumbfounded. Eyes wide and breath hitched in his throat.
Man, he's really fucked up now...

OKOK IMA WRITE ONE ABOUT JACK THURLOWE😛😛
A/n hey everyone this is the jack x y/n that was requested i hope you guys liked it its my first time writing actually smut i tried my best and lemme know if your interested in a part two..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media
“Best friends”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
warnings: 18+, kissing,fingering, dom! jack, praising and degrading, mention of death, the feeling of being insane, hallucinating, and drug use. if im missing any let me know!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You and Jack have been close friends for a few years you guys had an instant connection bonding over the same interests and opinions and you felt like you could talk about anything with him.
You received a call from him and he said in the most nonchalant way
“yeah my dad died today”
“holy fucking shit are you okay what the fuck”
“I'm fine but can you come to stay with me at my mom's I don't wanna do this alone”
you had agreed and you guys traveled to Colorado. this house had always creeped you out and so did his mom. You hadn’t seen her yet you figured she was just hiding in her room. You look over to Jack having a conversation with someone who wasn’t there and this wasn’t the only time this has happened but you shrugged and thought it's his way of coping with his dad's death But it was still odd but you didn't wanna ask him about it.
Later that night you and Jack we sitting on the floor in his room completely stoned out of your minds you were talking about nonsense and laughing so hard you almost pissed yourself.
Everything had become quiet and peaceful but the energy shifted very quickly. You look over at him.
“hey jack”
“yes y/n?” you take a deep breath as you get up and walk over to him. “stand up” he followed your instruction and got up. he stood in front of you he had such beautiful eyes almost staring into your soul but in a good way. You just looked at each other your breaths becoming in the sink and the air around you started to become suffocating .
You stepped closer to him all these impulsive thoughts running through your head you wanted to kiss him. No, you needed to kiss him. For a long time, you have thought about your best friend in such explicit ways.
You always wondered what it would feel like to have his hands on you what it would feel like to kiss him and have him in you just the thought of it sent shock waved through your entire body.
You never told him you felt this way but you hoped he felt the same. He came closer to you we were inches from your face. He looked at your lips and back to your eyes. Without saying anything he kissed you. you kissed back and within moments the kiss grew sloppier.
You guys had backed up onto his bed. Him on top of you he had stopped kissing you and started kissing your neck and down your chest leaving hickeys he was marking you as his. you let a whimper leave your lips and this made Jack smile and gain more confidence he asked if he could take off your shirt so you sat up and took off your shirt and he helped you unbuckle your bra.
He looks in shock “Wow” this made you giggle as he starts kissing you again and then down your body stopping at the waistband of your shorts.
he looks back up at you and goes to take off his shirt getting stuck and you have to help him you giggle finding this cute and he blushes in embarrassment
“you are such a dork jack” you giggle
“oh, hush y/n do you want me to continue or not hm?”
you stopped giggling “well go on im waitingggg”
you smile and he went back to your shorts sliding them down and off your legs and does the same with your panties. his hands travel back up your legs spreading them so he can get a clear view of your wet pussy. “I've barely touched you and you're already so wet for me?” he cooed at you.
He slowly kissed your inner thigh going up to your aching pussy. He teased you by lightly kissing and licking your clit.
a whimper left your mouth you tried to keep quiet and Jack smiled at this.
“your pathetic noises are so cute y/n there is so need to be quiet” he went back to giving you pussy attention. He dipped his fingers in and this new feeling sent shockwaves through your body making you let out a pathetic moan.
he was rubbing circles on your clit while still pumping his fingers hitting your g spot almost every time.
“you're doing so good for me y/n such a good little slut”
“oh fuck” you whimpered out
he continued as you felt a knot in your stomach grow and you feel your climax approaching.
“Please Jack” you could barely say while your breathing was getting heavier and you becoming such a moaning mess for your best friend.
“god who knew my best friend was such a pathetic slut” he sped up his movements and his fingers hitting your g spot with a little more force you feel your walls start to contract around his fingers as you start to reach your climax. You moaned his name.
“cum for me beautiful cmon I know you want to” At this you felt the world around you collapse as you reached your climax you were practically screaming his name. he pulled his fingers out bringing them to his lips and licking them.
“holy fucking shit,” you say trying to catch your breath”
“All that noise from just me using my fingers? Pathetic.”
he stands up and you noticed the bulge in his sweatpants.
“you want some help with that?” you look up at him.

Work has been pretty tiring lately so I haven’t been in the mood to draw, so have some head canons instead!
* Warriors family owns a bakery! He secretly has the biggest sweet tooth in the chain because of this!
* Knows how to bake everything and cook simple meals but only in a kitchen on a regular stove. Cannot for the life of him figure out cooking on the road on a travel cooking pot.
* Because of this, Warriors thinks Wild is a godsend!
* I like to think that Warriors and Wild got on a wonky foot at the start of the adventure. Wild, once learning that Warriors is a captain, started treating him more of superior officer and that really threw both of them off. Wild since he doesn’t quite consider himself a knight, though he still views knights positively. Warriors, because traveling with the chain is a chance to let go of his Captain Mask, they resolve this!
* The two of them think the other is SO COOL but they struggle trying to tell each other that, dorks!!
* I absolutely love the head canon that Warriors loves oranges so I’m taking that one in too! (Pretty sure I first heard of this from @/crazylittlejester in his You’re Apart Of Me series!)
* Wild is a Freak and his favorite vegetable is a tomato, loves them so much he can eat them plain like an apple. Just straight up takes a bite out of it! (If you want you can also imagine these as hylian tomatoes!)
* Legend has heterochromia! In his rabbit form he has red eyes like albino bunnies, the magic transferred over and how he has one red eye and one blue eye!
* Twilight’s hair is thicker than the others, and his roots are growing in darker, similar to his wolf fur.
* Twilight is extremely hairy!!!! That man has to shave almost everyday just to keep his clean shaven face
* Legend’s joint pain/mobility issues mainly comes from overusing the magic bracelet to transform into a painting. Turns out you’re Not supposed to force yourself into a 2D version every chance you get, who knew?
* I’m a huuuge Sky has lightning scars believer, especially since he had to use himself as a lightning rod 3 times in the battle against Demise!
* Sky is one of the most affectionate Links in the Chain! It’s mostly due to his upbringing since I believe that all of Skyloft is super affectionate! Of course, Sky is always respectful of the other’s boundaries <3
* I’m a fae Hyrule enjoyer and I think he’ll feel really safe and comfortable around both Time and Warriors, due to Time always being surrounded by fairies since he was super young, and Warriors being bonded with Proxi
* Wind actually has a pretty good voice! The others learn this when Wind sings his sea shanties
* firmly believe that Four has the best pranks, and he’s always super secretive about it, so most of the time he falls under the radar! Only other person who knows that Four is the Ultimate Prankster, is Wind, who is in awe of him
* These boys Wrestle!!!!! Once they all get comfortable with each other, you best believe they’re full on tackling each other
* I do genuinely believe they all care very deeply about each other!!!! They finally found people who knows what they’ve been through <3

been thinking abt the different dynamics and general relationships between the gang. so here's those thoughts summarized, with my more in-depth ones under the cut
chai and peppermint they have a very fun dynamic, with their bickering and bantering. the evolution of their relationship is fascinating and sweet, and i will forever love how peppermint starts caring about chai fairly early on and lies horribly about it to his face because she doesn't want to admit to anyone—least of all herself—that she's getting attached
chai and macaron their dynamic is just nice and sweet. chai helps macaron grow more confident and tries to help him relax. macaron helps chai by rooting for him and complimenting him when others won't. it's also rlly cute how they're the only ones to refer to each other with nicknames/terms of endearment (mac and little guy respectively)
peppermint and macaron endlessly fascinating to me how they both love roxanne and what she built so much that, despite not meeting due to her keeping them at arms length, they're ultimately brought together
macaron and cnmn their dynamic is so fun! cnmn's bluntness contrasts well with macaron's cautious nature. love how macaron built cnmn because he didn't want to be alone...and was self-aware enough that he needed help to also make them a therapy bot
chai and cnmn such an interesting dynamic. the guy that supresses basically any and all negative feelings and hides his past and pains; the therapist robot that recognizes that, but is just tactful enough to not call him out on it...for the most part
cnmn and peppermint kind of a similar dynamic to cnmn and chai. she appreciates cnmn for his more analytical side than his goofiness
cnmn and korsica these two can be fun. korsica definitely appreciates how direct cnmn is. i think post-game, they probably bond a bit over how they both got pretty fucked up by kale physically.
chai and korsica their dynamic is just...truly fascinating to me. mostly bc of their parallels. i've made a post talking about that in the past, though, so i won't repeat myself. but i also really like their differences. the main one that i always think of is her drive to challenge herself and need to do more, which contrasts with his more lax nature
peppermint and korsica they're neat. they get along well because they're pretty similar. both assertive, tactical, and confident in their own skills; share a distaste for puns and a need to keep busy; total dorks. post-game i imagine they grow pretty close.
macaron and korsica these two have a lot of potential for a interesting dynamic. they both look up to and respect roxanne a lot, and knew that something was wrong with the company but did not act due to their own beliefs. her levelheadedness is a good counter for his anxiety.
chai and peppermint their relationship starts off the most strained out of all of them, with the exception of korsica for obvious reasons. something that i find interesting is how she starts to care about him fairly early on. despite being (understandably) mad at him for blowing her cover, she checks in on him and compliments him throughout the parry tutorial. later, when she shows up at macaron's lab, she runs in saying, "don't be dead!" and lies horribly about being worried about him when he asks.
the two of them both seek out loneliness and prefer to be on their own. but it's interesting how, despite being described as the "loner hacker girl," peppermint is actually far more inclined to seek help and companionship than chai. she clearly doesn't want to admit that, though, considering how, as i said earlier, she lies about being worried about him. she does sort of let it slip when she mentions how 808 provides companionship as well as being a spy drone, though
the two of them have a very fun dynamic. they bicker and banter. their interactions are often filled with a sort of confidence, if that makes sense. not really sure how to explain. all of the lines they say to each other when she gets called in are sort of assertive in some capacity; that same confidence. there's a growing trust there.
chai and macaron their relationship and dynamic is very nice. there isn't as much to say as the previous dynamic, but that's because they don't rlly have a whole lot of growth in terms of theirs. it stays basically the same the whole time. but that makes sense and works well, because macaron's growth is centered around him becoming more confident. which chai is great for, because he's probably the most confident member of the whole gang aside from peppermint and probably cnmn.
they're the only members of the gang to refer to each other with any sort of nicknames/terms of endearment (chai calls him mac; macaron calls him little guy), which is neat. also really cute.
also, to discuss the lines that they say when he's called in: they're actually fairly assertive and confident. they have no lines where they check-in on each other, but this time there are no exceptions. i honestly find this a little strange, i feel like out of all of them, macaron would want to check on chai the most.
peppermint and macaron something that i find so interesting about their relationship is how they both seemed to be very close to roxanne despite the ways she held them at arms length, yet they never met until recently-ish. it makes sense why. but it really does make me wonder if roxanne never even had pictures of her kids in her office or anything similar. i also find it fascinating how their love of roxanne, and what she built, is what eventually causes them to meet
we don't really get to see them interacting one-on-one much, but they seem to get along relatively well. they have a lot of similar interests and hobbies (stem stuff), which definitely helps with that. i can imagine them helping each other out with projects when one of them is struggling with a certain bit of code or figuring out a design or...other tech-y things
macaron and cnmn the bffs! i love them. it's really interesting to see sort of a reverse of peppermint and chai, who sought loneliness and preferred being on their own, with macaron, who was sort of forced in many ways to be on his own but chose to seek companionship by making cnmn. i also find it fascinating how he specifically chose to build them with the purpose of being a sort of therapist. it shows how self-aware he is. i also find it hilarious that he named him CRAP, most likely without meaning to
their dynamic is very fun! cnmn's bluntness has a nice contrast with macaron's more nervous nature. the way that macaron prefers peaceful options, whereas cnmn is totally down to fight, but simply can't due to macaron's preferences being reflected in their design. inaction vs action, but in a friendly and compassionate way
chai and cnmn such an interesting dynamic. the guy that supresses basically any and all negative feelings and hides his past and pains; the therapist robot that recognizes that, but is just tactful enough to not call him out on it...for the most part. i get the sense that chai is sort of wary of cnmn in some ways because of that. but he also respects them and enjoys their company. they have fun! they're both silly fellas! they enjoy puns!
i love how cnmn has his own sort of growth, and chai, while he doesn't fully know how to help them with it, does what he can: offer his support. it's very sweet. it's also interesting because it's the reverse of what you would expect. you'd think cnmn would be the one helping chai with his insecurities, but instead they're the one being offered comfort and support
cnmn and peppermint kind of a similar dynamic to cnmn and chai, but i don't think peppermint's really wary of cnmn. she enjoys his company more for his analytical side, rather than his goofy one. i think she appreciates his bluntness. she also appreciates that he knows when to and when to not share his thoughts and perceptions, for obvious reasons
i wish i had more to say about them, but similar to macaron and peppermint, we don't get to see the two of them interact one-on-one. and they don't have As much in common, aside from that cnmn knows how to hack. the two of them likely aren't particularly close, but that doesn't mean they don't care abt one another.
cnmn and korsica these two can be fun. korsica definitely appreciates how direct cnmn is. i think post-game, they probably bond a bit over how they both got pretty fucked up by kale physically. they would try to help her feel less self-conscious about her scars, and offer support on the whole in regards to some of her insecurities. in turn, she would teach them to fight and help them with their own insecurities in regards to how they feel like they don't do enough for the team
in terms of actual canon interactions, this is another one where we don't get to see very many, so i don't have much else to say. but i do think they'll become fairly close
chai and korsica these two are so interesting to me. they're the only ones with voice lines when she's called in where they ask one another if they're okay ("korsica, you got this?" "you alright, chai?"). she also actively compliments him, unlike the others ("good timing!" "very precise, chai!"). and, of course, she has her moment where she compliments him in the hideout after she joins the team. also special shoutout to him calling her "vandelay security's finest" (heard if you perform one of her jam combos)
their dynamic is just...truly fascinating to me. mostly because of their parallels. i've made a post talking abt that in the past, though, so i won't repeat myself. but i also really like their differences. the main one that i always think of is her drive to challenge herself and need to do more, which contrasts with his more lax nature
peppermint and korsica they're neat. they get along well because they're pretty similar. both assertive, tactical, and confident in their own skills; share a distaste for puns and a need to keep busy; total dorks. post-game i imagine they grow pretty close. peppermint helps korsica with her implants and things down in security; korsica helps peppermint with getting rid of some of kale's bullshittery that's still left
i'm viewing their dynamic here from a more platonic lens, but peppermint's crush is important to take into account. though i'm not sure how much it would really change up their dynamic, aside from peppermint's flustered-ness causing potential cute/silly moments
macaron and korsica these two have a lot of potential for an interesting dynamic. they both look up to and respect roxanne a lot, and knew that something was wrong with the company but did not act due to their own beliefs (macaron didn't want to fight; korsica pushed down her feelings because she had finally achieved her dream). they also both have arm implants, which i'm sure macaron helps her adjust to
her levelheadedness is a good counter for his anxiety. i imagine her presence, though perhaps intimidating at first, can actually be rather calming. especialy since she is known to offer reassurance to those that need it (her interactions with chai being the primary example). i see the two of them as pretty good friends

I promise dis is da last request….. basically…. Scott and the evil exes (minus roxie) as parent. Y/n headcanons cause Yolo (agian so sorry bout meh overload… I just luv ur work)
omg it's not an overload at all!! i love the fun requests you have :D
scott and the evil exes (minus roxie) as parents!!
scott pilgrim
chaos but not in the absolutely crazy way - in the "i have no idea what im doing" way
he doesn't know how to hold a baby or how to feed a baby or how to change the baby's diaper
so you're going to have to give him like. a lesson on how to.
BUT WHEN HE FINALLY GETS THE HANG OF IT, expect him to actually let you sleep??
he knows it was a lot of work carrying a whole child for 9 months and even though he's exhausted from being up all night with a baby who's whining and crying for seemingly no reason...
he's just happy you're getting your much needed beauty sleep
matthew patel
somehow already knows exactly how to parent??
you don't know where it came from but seeing him bond with your kid is just precious
mattie has an air about him that causes the baby to just... stop?? crying??
you have no idea how he does it but whenever you can't figure out what's wrong, matthew can
this man is a sucker for playing peekaboo with the kid though
like an absolute sucker
the delight on his face when the baby gets surprised is hilariously adorable
lucas lee
bro was built to be a father IM JUST SAYING
he would be an incredible dad
he's not sure about the ins and outs, but neither are you, so it's a learning process for the two of you
the late nights of crying are less than favorable, but whenever one of you is too tired, the other takes over so they can get a little shut-eye in
he's definitely the kind of dad who wants the baby to be his little mini-me
MATCHING OUTFITS.
you're going to have to explain to lucas that he cannot put a mini leather jacket onto his 2 month old child and is going to (jokingly) argue with you over it
todd ingram
he gets the hang of the whole dad business pretty damn quick
especially for someone who was panicking about it merely weeks before the birth
and the day of the birth
and every day after that
NOT THE POINT
similarly to lucas, he thinks the whole matching outfit thing is absolutely adorable, and he's going to try to rope you into it too
he's gonna show the kid all of his favorite movies and play his favorite songs for them, even if they're too young to understand what's going on
he's also the kind of dad who totally talks to the kid about how much he loves their parents
kyle katayanagi
he has thrown confetti at this child every single month anniversary of their birth just because he thinks it's the funniest thing ever
and honestly, it kind of is
he's not happy about being up all night, and he's gonna complain about it A LOT
just give him the "i carried this fucking child for 9 months you have no room to talk" look and he'll shut up SJDKFHKSDJHF
despite being a huge dork, he's really helpful with the kid!!
i mean duh
he's the dad
absolutely loves playing with them
he reads them a bedtime story literally every single night and he doesn't plan on stopping ever
ken katayanagi
at first, he isn't sure what to do
of course he wants to bond with his own kid, but he doesn't know how to go about it
literally just hand him the baby while he's going about his normal tasks and he'll eventually get the hang of it
he loves putting the baby to bed, and whenever you can't find him, he's probably sitting in the chair next to crib and making sure the baby's okay
he's gonna be a little more overprotective of both you and your child just because he doesn't wanna see any harm come to either of you
like at all
gideon graves
he's the most responsible man ever
that being said, you once handed the baby off to gideon and came back to see he was explaining all the different parts of his music studio
to a 3 month old
who could only giggle and cry
that being said, he does take care of a lot of responsibilities around the house
moreso now that there's another person to worry about
he insists that you take care of the baby and make sure they're fed and changed and stuff
he starts cooking and cleaning more in between gigs, and even though you can't come as often anymore, he makes sure to make it up to you every single time

Do you think Taylor and Alec's relationship would meaningfully change if she was able to recognize the similarities between them instead of doing her best to rationalize how different they are?
the more notable thing about this scenario is that it would mean she would accidentally experience self-awareness and probably subsequently have some form of brief mental crisis over her behavior + well of unaddressed emotional issues before going "oh well i have other things to deal with can't stop now haha" and tamping the self-awareness and well of unaddressed emotional issues back down to resume bug-eyeing people. but outside of that i think she would start experiencing some sense of, like, self-loathing solidarity with alec over both being people who do really fucked up things due to problems & issues.
meanwhile alec is fine with doing terrible things if necessary but generally considers his other teammates to be more moral than him + is generally trying to be better not worse. so his initial perception of taylor is "dork whos a better person than me and also smart and works hard (meaning i can listen to her/let her do all the work as leader while i chillax)" and then he watches her skid downhill at 1000mph seemingly actively TRYING to be worse and he's like. Uh. Are you sure. Aren't you supposed to tell me mutilation and torture is bad. while totally oblivious to the fact that she feels any solidarity with him. and she's oblivious to the fact that he's oblivious.
like i think she would go on a one-sided conversational rant with him about how they've both been driven to do terrible things but that's just how the cookie crumbles so it's time to take bakuda's life advice and cut this dude's eyes out. while he's following absolutely none of it but still nodding and going "uh huh i guess we can cut his eyes out if you're sure" because he doesn't care enough to inform her that he has lost the fucking plot.
also you know how lisa is trying to manipulate-fix taylor and taylor is trying to manipulate-fix rachel. i think taylor might try to do what she does to rachel to him as well a little bit and it would not work. at all. like she does Get On Rachel's Level, and it works, but it's distinctly in a way where she knows far more about rachel than rachel knows about her, and she's using that information to speak in her language while still treating the whole thing like kind of a puzzle? she has to put effort into being on rachel's level. that wouldn't work for alec, you have to manage a level of really genuine flippancy 2 connect w/ him, and that's why aisha is the only undersider he actually rlly bonds with. you have to already Be on his level. so taylor would try to actively calculate her approach to socializing with him and it would just soar over his head + vaguely annoy him.
conclusion: she wouldn't be all "HEEEY ALEC [leans on counter] JUST WONDERING WERE YOU PLANNING ON TURNING INTO YOUR RAPIST DAD YOU FUCKING HATE?" like she does in canon (easily one of the top ever taylor socially oblivious moments) but they would still not b friends. he would carry on feeling vaguely positively about her from a distance and she would carry on not getting him but, like, in a nicer and less judgmental way than canon. i don't actually think there's any plausible scenario in which they're friends. closer teammates than in canon, sure, but not friends.

dorcas meadowes headcanons <3
it’s about time i did the object of my affections
FIRSTLY i am so undecided on what house they’d be in (i don’t read much hogwarts stuff i prefer aus so it’s not something i really think about tbh) but i like both slytherin and gryffindor dorcas
really close with pandora (ravenclaw together?) it’s a friendship they never excepted and even fought it off at first but pandora was relentless and dorcas is forever grateful for that (think grumpy sunshine friendship)
THE most powerful witch of their age like voldy had to personally kill them?? what more do i have to say
they never died and lives happily with marlene and a kitten
due to this they have an academic rivalry with lily but they actually both love it and it motivates them to try their hardest even when it seems like a struggle. they soon bond over other things like muggle books and music, forming a real friendship
they became enamoured with marlene on the quidditch pitch, and through spending more time with her fell in love with the fire that burned so brightly in her.
became an auror, eventually progressing to being the chief of auror’s (or whatever the title for that is)
in a muggle universe they would have a powerful role in something creative; think top music producer, ceo of a gallery, tattoo artist with their own shop.
hates being called dorky or dorks unless it’s marlene or james for some reason
came out as non-binary at 19
likes to smoke weed but not with other people, a solitary smoker who uses it to reach their most creative self
the exception of this is of course pandora
didn’t want to join the war, but knew their power would be needed, and they couldn’t imagine a world where they let marlene fight and possibly die without doing everything in their power to prevent that
has a slightly strained relationship with mary, they are good friends and hang out all the time as a group, but mary and marlene’s past always sits in the back of dorcas’ mind
ignoring time periods… favourite music is velvet underground and nico, unknown mortal orchestra, LCD soundsystem, and big thief.
loves yorgos lanthimos
sees themself in many fictional characters, including but not limited to; spencer reid, spencer hastings, cristina yang, and emily prentiss.
can be emotionally avoidant, but works hard to be able to be present and honest for marlene.
both nostrils pierced and a vertical labret, likes to wear their hair in braids and matches rings in it with their other piercings (they are a gold person always). wears a LOT of bracelets and necklaces
struggles with their ambition, they see it as a positive force, but also like a burden as they often feel unhappy with their professional life when they’re not rising up the ranks fast enough.
despite this, they feel completely content and at peace with marlene and their little family (the friend group)
has a funny little friendship with remus. they don’t hang out very often just the two of them, but somehow seem to gravitate towards each other in group settings and dorcas innately trusts remus with a lot. their respective friendships with lily help this bond grow
so yeah, she is my girl fr <3

Part 4
Hunter Bradley
Background/story
Hunter and Blake met when they ended up in the same foster house/orphanage
Hunter’s bio parents died in a car crash when he was about 9
He still remembers them
Hunter saved Blake from some bullies and they adopted each other on the spot and became inseparable
Could have been adopted a couple times individually but refused to leave the other behind
Hunter is extremely protective of his little bro and will not lose him to anything or anyone 
They still bicker and tease as siblings do, but are very close and open with each other
Then their adoptive parents came and adopted them both (Blake was 9, Hunter was 11-12)
They were amazing parents and loved their boys very much
They loved them too
They are ninjas and teach the boys their ways (they are very surprised to find that they have the same/similar elements despite not being related)
Lothor kills their parents (He’s attempted to come back before and the elemental academy and the thunder academy (which used to be one academy) fought him off)
Sensei Omino blames Cam’s dad for the death of so many ninjas/students, including their parents, so he raises Blake and Hunter to hate Sensei Watanabe and all who he teaches
Sensei Omino is a very strict teacher since thunder elementals can get volatile and destructive if they let their emotions get the better of them
Pushes them to use their rage to fuel their powers as an outlet, which is why they are so powerful
Also just very pushy in general, often harshly and without mercy (Hunter took the brunt of it to protect Blake)
Once Sensei Omino and the rest of the Thunder academy (formally known as the Academy of Thunder and Lightning) get kidnapped by Lothor, Lothor strikes a deal with them to destroy the wind rangers and he’ll let the other students go
They agree (they get to free their fellow students and get revenge on the man who killed their parents)
Hunter is genuinely surprised at how easy it is to become friends with Dustin
He sees him as a bit of an airhead and a dork at the beginning (he’s trying to bury his feelings with insults)
Has to try very hard not to start actually liking him
After the whole evil then good then evil then good again thing, he and Dustin become very good buddies and they hang out a lot both on and off the track
The also share a lot of shifts at Storm Chargers, though Hunter works a bit more since he doesn’t have school anymore
Appreciates Dustin’s honesty/bluntness
Him and Dustin infodump about dirt bikes all the time (Blake joins but he isn’t nearly as technical or mechanical as Dustin and Hunter)
Loves hanging with Dustin’s family (he’s always wanted a big family like his)
Eventually realizes he has feelings for Dustin and has to deal with all that emotional mess
Tori is like the sister he never had and he likes to taunt and tease her (they are twins your honor)
He teases Blake about her all the time
He secretly has their whole wedding plan if they ever get together
Hunter approves of her becoming his sister legally
He’s a hopeless romantic but shh it’s a secret
Blake teases him about Dustin when he figures out what that whole thing is
“Hypocrite”
They are both equally bad at flirting (Tori and Dustin thinks it’s cute, much to their mortification)
He despises Shane on sight
Out of all the rangers, he’s the one that he imagined when Sensei Omino described the elemental ninjas
Hates how self-confident and arrogant he can come off sometimes (different flavors of protective older brother)
Toxic rivalry that turns into healthy competitiveness
They bond over that protective older brother-ness
Still have a rivalry and are competitive but a bit more playful
Tori joins sometimes if they challenge her
It’s all fun and games
Feels bad about kidnapping Cam that one time but then realize how lucky they were that Cam didn’t engage any safety protocols
Cam can be scary when he wants to be
He also lets them test out his new security system once he programs it in >:)
Hunter respects the shit out of him
Everyone is protective of their greenie (He gives littlest sibling energy) (even though he’s an only child) (And also older than three of them)
Kelly is chill and he likes her as his boss well enough
Personality/headcanons/arcs
Had to grow up quick because of his bio and adoptive parent’s death (no one tell batman)
Often comes off as “dark and brooding” according to his brother
He’s snappish and quick to interpret things as an insult (opposite of Dustin)
Also hotheaded and stubborn
Doesn’t talk a lot to people outside of his brother (Dustin didn’t mind and just talked enough for him)
Is actually a big softie, especially for kids (and Dustin)
Dustin sussed it out immediately and tried to introduce him to is little siblings and cousins as soon as possible because he knew they’d love him (he was right)
Started rapping/singing to Blake to make him feel better after he woke up from a nightmare and it went off from there (really likes rap/punk/rock music)
Didn’t have a lot of friends because trauma and also basically raising his brother
Very snarky, he and Cam will roast your ass into oblivion
Also just blunt, he and Dutin bond over this (People think Dustin is an idiot because he’s not afraid to ask questions and people think Hunter is mean because he always says what he thinks about people)
Resting Bitch Face
He has The Smirk ™ (you know what I’m talking about don’t pretend like you don’t)
Is an absolute powerhouse
Again, him and Blake use their rage to power their abilities (and they have a lot of rage)
Go through a Zuko arc to learn how to put the power back in their punches after joining the rangers
Blake and Hunter are the fastest of the rangers
Hunter is like thunder, loud, powerful, and can shake you to your core
He’s also just physically strong (second strongest to Dustin)
They have arm wrestling contests all the time (Dustin is holding back because he can actually toss Hunter into the sky if he wanted)
Shane gets creamed whenever he joins
Blake, Tori and Cam are smarter than that
Can somewhat control the weather (when he and Tori fight, they can create a storm) 
Use their powers to speed up their bikes on occasion (Dustin says their cheating to which they mention the whole sensing the earth for the best path thing and that whole conversation happens)
They don’t use it during official races, they’re just trying to beat out the other
Blake and Hunter have little electricity lines on the arms from their powers (they don’t hurt, they’re more like birthmarks than scars)
Specialized in the thunder staffs, but can use almost any kind of big, sharp stick (scythe, spear, sword, etc.)
Has nightmares about his parents dying (less frequent now, but it was bad for most of his childhood)
Sincerely hated every single person on Lothor’s ship and was tempted to burn it to the ground multiple times but didn’t because of The Plan
Hates what Marah did to Dustin (if looks could kill)
Opens his own academy after taking over for Sensei Omino (he goes into retirement) (not entirely by choice)
Mainly works with kids
Does what Thunder sensei should’ve done for him and Blake
His kid from Good Will Hunter is there
Also teaches them about dirt bikes and motocross (and his awesome freestyling racer boyfriend- Hm? What was that?)

Kung fu panda the dragon knight characterisation and scene analysis. (Shipping problems aswell)
(This has been a long time brewing)
Disclaimer : this analysis is strictly from my trained observation using proof and layout of a scene. Thusly any scene signifiers and connotations used is viewed not from an audiences eye but from the perspective of a media analyst and animator view. Consideration under the ruling that this is merely by anaysis. disagreements while valid are not to be posted"
(Also take a shot for how many times the word subtle is mentioned)
Right so where do i begin? Where all things start i suppose. The premise.
To cut a long symopsis short two weasels travel to china to gain magical relics and po must stop them. Along with a knight from England whos agender relies heavily on revenge.
Simple plot. Nothing special. I can deal with it. Fine.
But things get complicated along the way as things do. While season 1 and 2 are flawed its fun. Like paws of destiny. Just a pinch of salt. Fun.
But i still have issues and one such is the nonsensical chaos that is implied in shipping. I was quite happy with the subtle chemistry and bonding po and blade had. Subtle being the key word.
ive a degree in snimation and excelled in character design, lore and characteristic signifiers. The subtlety here is how po would look at her during the moon festival. Its not platonic. Why you ask? He looked her over up and down in a way that signfied a hint just a hint of developing affection.
Now fast forward to when blade was angry with him saying po took advantage of her anxieties so she could let her gaurd down and unwind a little.
So lets look at how po spoke suring his response. The cues as it were dictate
"I just wanted you to see what you'd miss about china - and...what you'd miss about me"
The last part wasnt as strong at the opening statement. Their was a pause. That pause shows sadness and the rest of it was said in a gentle vulnerable way. Perspective? One of two things po is an innocent guy so it could be construed as him just wishing to be missed but due to the cues again can be caught as something else.
Blade throughout season one and two actually likes po for him. They've bonded through thick and thin.
So now we come to the simp himself Collin. So here we had emphasis on had a bad ass tracker who was tracking down blade because she was a wanted criminal. Po was collateral or at the very least he saw as an accomplice. Now this comes to an important analysis. Towards the end of season 1 blade and collin are fighting on top of the mountain. Collin is very vehement on doing his job. Fair enough. But lets for a moment fast forward to season 3 where he literally simps for blade because reasons? If he hesitated during that fight in season one just for a moment that the stones for s3 are set. But nope.
Also lets look at some signifiers that suggest romantic scenes. Or at the very least implied. Back to season 1 end. Po and blade share a very long hug. Po even leans into it nose to neck. Intimate. But we also see the romantic view of the mountain scape. Its drawn out to say the least. Ooookay subtle doesnt need to have any emphasis on it really.
If po hugged tigress like this then people would be frothing and loving it and i digress the scene sets itself. You do not hug fruends in this manner as its considered affectionate or intimate.
Bored yet? Annoyed that theirs analyse? Well its not over yet and it only gets worse.
So season 2 is littered with what we can call growth between our band of heroes. Po and blade holding hands all the time. The bit that comes later worth note is when blade is at her most vulnerable and po writes in a book about the rules of being a dragon knight. He doodles master masterdon giving po a piggyback. When blade mentions it po gets all embarrassed which again is subtle like he doesnt want to look like a dork in front of his friend. He later grabs blades hand and fistbumps the air. Staying like that for a bit. Now while this is sweet and hes very much riding out the high.
"You can let go now"
"Not yet"
But again it shows chemistry and banter of growth. A huge contrast in season 1. Growth.
Season 3 is such a mess. Pacing of story issues. Character cringe. Twists that actually made no sense and at one point they could of very well summoned captain planet.
So collin still wants to bring blade in but hes not subtle about showing he very well has a crush on blade. Now this gets rather intrusive as the episodes continue. Collin doesn't really add anything to the group. Akna has her ingenuity though is socially awkward. Ruhkmini is the literal voice of reality but brings the group together with hiw resourceful she is. Collin just stumbles along. Which again is a shame considering what he brought in season 1. Weiman was also wasted potential.
So season three kills off the main villian which is somewhat derivative. Veruca was such a poignant character with a goal in mind to ravage England from those that rejected them to create something new. Fine this was fine and they should have kept it that way. But no.
So lets cue to season 3 where blade reunites with po. He runs to her picks her up, spins her around and they hug? This is very romantic coded. You would not pick up your sibling this way nor a friend. Later we find po is so depressed that blade does all she can to help him (the episode is one such pacing issue) so both are in a gorge po is paralysed by a plant and cant move and blade is literally high of a plants pollin. I wish i was joking. So po does everything in his power not to get up or attempt to rid the paraylse but to hold her hand. Again subtle.
So lets cue to the end if we can even call it that. Collin asks blade out finially asking her i suppose and she just shook her head. Keeping it open i guess as her response could be taken in a few ways. But theirs a but. Then we see blade returning to china to star gaze with po which is a stark contrast to season 1. They also share baobao buns. In a moonlit restorant outside in a seating area. Signifiers, the moon has such strong romantic connotations.
England has nothing for blade anymore. Shes a wanderer free to go as she pleases. Unhindered and in no ones shadow. So if she actually said yes to collin it would complicate a lot. She doesn't want to be a knight and being a debutante is something she voiced very clearly thats not what she wanted. Whats she going to do wait till hes fone with the dutys for the day and thats it? Collin would possibly like that. No actual chemistry between them. It'll be like zuko from the legend of Aang falling in love with after after chasing him all over the globe.
Blade is independent and from what we do see she comes back to po?
The whole bestie signifier just isnt convincing nor is this oh they act like siblings. Its as if they were queer coded. Like perish the thought po would be into another a bear.
This is long overdue and again i really wanted to get into alot. So much more about pacing issues and when the script contradicted what we actually saw.
Po and blade for the record never actually wanted to officially get together. I was quite happy for them to be hinted at, subtle and sweet.
End of shipping/character analysis. Now piss off im tired.
(British humour)
(Will need revising at some point)

Byakuya headcanons
Tumblr media
[Above: When you tell them to stop being poor but they keep doing it anyway]
Took me a while to warm up to this twerp. Then again, I have some experience with finding the charm in smug aristocrats in unlikely found family situations...
This is kind of an easy one, but I like to think Byakuya has more affection for his surviving classmates than he cares to admit. They all know that, to one degree or another. So they put up with him treating them like lowly employees, and he puts up with them treating him like an equal.
Byakua spends a good chunk of Trigger Happy Havoc biding his time, waiting for the right moment to "win" the Killing Game with the perfect murder. The fourth trial changes his mind, and after that everyone pretty much lets bygones be bygones. But Byakuya's never forgotten what he intended to do, or how thoroughly he planned it. The closer he gets to the others, the more it haunts him, and he doesn't talk about it.
I don't have any specific ideas about what sort of murder Byakuya was planning. But when I watched chapter five I became certain he was the killer, until the twists at the end. The timeframe of the murder largely depends on Toko's testimony, and it conveniently forces Makoto and Kyoko to break each other's alibis rather than work together towards a common goal. So I'd imagine Byakuya's perfect crime would look something like that.
I'm a big fan of the way Dan Avidan voiced Byakuya in the Game Grumps play-through. Nothing against the actual official voice actors for the character, of course. But after he gets the hang of it, Dan does this low, almost growly thing that adds so much seething contempt to the dialogue. For me it's the missing piece that elevates the character from Draco Malfoy to Baron Zemo.
Upon escaping the Killing Game, Byakuya thinks he's the leader of the gang. He is not. It's just easier to let him believe that nobody else can make a decision without his approval. What keeps this dork squad running smoothly is that he's not a complete tyrant, since he respects Makoto and Kyoko for their insight.
Byakuya is sharp enough to pick up on Makoto and Kyoko's feelings for one another, arguably before either of them do. On the other hand, he doesn't actually expect them to act on those feelings. (Byakuya does not read my fanfiction.) From his point of view, it'd be like if his gardener made a pass at his attorney--it'd never work out, and he wouldn't want either of them to get hurt, and more importantly it would reduce their usefulness to him personally.
It's hard for me to get a bead on Byakuya's relationship with Hina or Hiro, beyond the fact that they're all in the larger group. The lazy approach would be that they're not close to each other but they all have Makoto in common. But to me the interesting thing about this found family is the idea that everybody has a special attachment to everybody else, even if we only see them being rude to each other. So I choose to believe Byakuya has a unique bond to Hiro and to Hina, and I just have to keep digging to identify it.
Along those lines, I want to believe Byakuya cares--at least a little--for Toko. Don't get me wrong--he obviously despises the way she moons over him in front of everybody. And I'm hardly convinced he reciprocates her romantic feelings. However, Toko is a masochist that takes every compliment as an attack, and Byakuya is very observant. If he wanted to be nice to her, he'd treat her exactly the way he does treat her, and nobody would know the difference. (Well, Kyoko could figure it out, but I'm not sure she'd give a shit.)
I am intrigued by the fact Byakuya's family is part of some secret cabal that controls (controlled?) the world, which gives him access to a library full of secret knowledge he reads for fun. Kind of like when I read Time Life's Mysteries of the Unknown. I think he should have a peculiar interest in Atlantis or something goofy like that. Hmm, maybe that's how he bonds with Hiro...
I like the idea of the survivors going underground immediately after THH, and getting by on their own for a while before the Future Foundation locates them. To that end, I imagine them leaning on Byakuya's Illuminati-type shit. Like, his family had some secret underground bunker set up for the end of the world, so we might as well see if it's still intact. I also wonder if the troops he led in Danganronpa 3 were assigned to him within the Future Foundation or his own private army from his connections to the cabal.
Obviously a lot of these are still pretty half-baked. Maybe if all goes well I'll find ways to refine them...
