how seventeen act with their clingy s/o
requested by @cinnamoroxie: aaaa your writing is so cute <33 what ab svt w a pretty clingy / touchy reader? take care of yourself lovie and ty for writing this if u do!! 💓💓
notes: i hope you enjoy!
masterlist
Tumblr media
seungcheol:
this man is the father of 12 children and a dog. do you think he'd hate clingy people???? loves it when you randomly reach over to take his hand, or play with his hair, or poke his cheeks. is totally okay with you needing to be squished up against him whenever you're in the same space, bc tbh he really wants that too
jeonghan:
pretends to hate it whenever you practically fall on top of him whenever you see him, but wraps his arms around you so tightly so you can't move away. has a hairband permanently on his wrist, partly so he can tie his hair and partly so you can fiddle with something while his hand is in the space between you. his favourite act of clinginess is when you put his head into your lap and pet his hair
joshua:
have you seen this man? he adores affection, but also becomes so awkward in the face of it. basically shuts down if you kiss his cheek more than 5 times in ten minutes. lets out those beautiful laughs whenever you basically tackle hug him every time your eyes meet. would let you put the world on pause to hug him even if the world was trying to end all around you
junhui:
clingy back with you. you have competitions w him about who is more clingy in your relationship. junhui once spent the entire day hanging like a baby bear draped over your back, and you in turn spent the next day Refusing to let go of your arm linked in his. he starts fake-crying if you're in the same room as him for more than five seconds and yet Have Not come over to immediately crush him in a hug
hoshi:
either cannot get enough of it or is a blushing mess the entire time. you pecked him on the lips one time while he was with the rest of the 96z and he went such a bright pink that it was all they talked about for a year. he pouts The Most if you suddenly let go of his hand while you're walking, but is rendered flusteredly silent if you bend down to kiss his knuckles on a whim
wonwoo:
doesn't mind it, as long as it's not too public. however, he still absolutely loves how your touchiness means that your hand is intertwined with his basically 24/7. will politely tell you if it gets too much, but you being so open with your affection helps him relax too and has definitely been the one to lie in your lap a few times when he's had a tiring day
woozi:
he's resigned himself to essentially forever being your hug toy. used to dislike it if you were attached to him for a little too long, but now he visibly pouts if you're not huddled up next to him on the couch while you're together. goes rlly red if your clinginess manifests itself in kisses, and can barely talk for a minute straight afterwards
minghao:
if you flop into his lap the minute you see him, he'll look down at you in mild panic bc he thinks that something terrible has happened to you to make you clingy. soon gets used to it tho and realises it's just your love language, and is way more relaxed when you unexpectedly put your head in his lap. lets you play with his fingers. and his rings. and his nail polish, which keeps getting chipped bc of you
mingyu:
have you seen this man's arms? i'm betting he gives the best hugs. probably works out for that exact reason. if you suddenly hug him then he's not letting go for at least half an hour. looks like a kicked puppy if you try to leave his arms even if "mingyu seriously i need to pee so badly let me go—" "no, you initiated this, you're not escaping so soon"
dokyeom:
it never even occurs to him that your behaviour could be classified as 'clingy' because he. he is the exact same as you. loves to boop your nose and will giggle so hard if you do it back to him. the idea of you two Not being touching in some way is a concept that just doesn't exist. jeonghan jokes you must have a string connecting you two or something bc you're always together
seungkwan:
he's a hyper person, can barely sit still due to his urge to kick hoshi or argue with dino. however, if you're next to him and link an arm with his or lay your head on his shoulder, he's instantly ceasing his frantic bouncing so you can comfortably touch him. if he gets too worked up tho, then he'll grab your hand instead n drag you around while telling everyone off bc even when mad he'll let you touch him for however long you need
vernon:
totally cool with it. you wanna tug on the hair on the back of his neck while you're bored? he'll tilt his head downwards slightly to give you better access. if you're wearing face paint or makeup tho, pls don't lean your head on him bc he'll get yelled at by seungkwan yet again if he goes to the guy for help in removing makeup stains from his clothes
chan:
loves when your clinginess turns into you just babying him. pinch his cheeks, play with his hair, coo all over him and he's grinning so hard and his serotonin levels are through the roof. vv chill when it comes to your affection, goes about his day super normally even if you're basically hanging off his back like a koala

Persona 3 Characters Ranked By How Good of Hugs They Give
kotone/hamuko/minako. best hugger in sees. she's a hashtag empath, so she always knows when you need a hug, too. will tug your head down to rest on her shoulder and start rubbing your back and everything. the technique? perfect. 10/10 no notes.
shinjiro. he's a lot less likely to hug anyone but aki, but when he does, it's big ol bear hug and he's not letting go until they feel better, period. he feels slightly awkward about it, but once he's holding on, he's committed. he's got that weighted blanket swag. (he doesn't smell the best though which holds him back from first place)
ryoji. hug will be a bit awkward at first but then he'll find his stride and suddenly he's a good hugger for all the same reasons as kotone. he had to get it from somewhere, after all. loses some points because he can be a little overly familiar, so he might employ back-rubbing in situations where it's unneeded.
fuuka. she's a little shy and less likely to hug, but if she does, she'll do it with all her heart!! a very gentle hugger who will try to console you as you're hugging. she might also start crying if things get emotional tbh but she won't get your shirt too wet. she also isn't likely to let go until you're smiling again.
aigis. she may be made of metal but i think we know from the ending of the game that she will cradle her loved ones so gently and with all the love and protection in her whole body <3 probably hugs a little tentatively because she doesn't want to crush the recipient of her hug. she's surprisingly warm, not cold, and her arms are less rigid than you would think.
i HAD to put koromaru this low because he technically can't hug you. but you can hug HIM and he is soft and warm and loves you so much.
yukari. she has good hugging technique, like fuuka's, but she's much more hesitant to actually hug and is more likely to pull away prematurely because she suddenly gets bashful. if someone else hugs her, she might even freeze up rather than hugging back, even if she wants to. her mind is racing with other thoughts as they hug, which makes her hug a little awkward and distracted.
theodore. gives an excellent gentle hug but he has no idea what to do next. he'll just stand there totally still indefinitely, and you have to kick him to get him to let you go.
elizabeth. hugs very enthusiastically but she will be saying some weird eccentric shit into your ear while you're trying to enjoy the hug. you could be on the verge of tears and she'd be like "oh my, is this what you humans call a 'bear hug'? should i summon a bear persona? ohohoho."
akihiko. he will hug with reckless abandon, but he is very awkward about it and hugs way too tight. like, a firm hug is nice and all, but akihiko please i cant breathe you'rE CRUSHING ME AKIHIKO--COUGH COUGH HACK--
minato/makoto. very stiff and wooden while he hugs you, so the hugging technique itself is pretty poor, but he has good awareness of when a hug is and isn't necessary and knows exactly when to squeeze a little and pull back. a quiet, slightly awkward hug.
ken. would be higher up on this list if he could just accept that he is Small but whenever he hugs someone he has to attempt to hug them in a Big Boy way which means he'll be trying to pull you down so he can hug you from "above", like with your head on his shoulder, and your back is gonna hurt like hell afterwards because he is just way too short.
junpei. gets self conscious and jerks away in the middle of a hug, just like yukari, but his technique is also awkward and wooden like minato, and if he's emotional enough to hug without feeling awkward then he'll be squeezing too tight like akihiko. worst of all worlds.
mitsuru. oh god. you're hugging her. why are you hugging her. what does she do with her arms. where should her face be. oh my god you're still holding on. are you saying something? she is not listening. she is too busy standing completely still like you're a t-rex whose vision is based on movement and if she just stays perfectly still you'll forget she's there and wander off.

Sniper x Scout x A clingy s/o
Polycule moment, gender neutral reader
Jeremy thinks your cuddliness is really cute. He appreciates the physical affection so much and will return the favour tenfold !
Mundy on the other hand struggles at first, as he doesn't know how to reciprocate, but with plenty of communication he figures out how not to he as stiff as a board.
You and Jeremy would have to show him how you like being held or cuddled. You'd guide his hands, and Jeremy would adjust his posture. Regardless, you both were very patient with him.
Scout and Sniper are on opposite ends when it comes to PDA. Jeremy does not care if others are around, he's gonna give huge bear hugs and big kisses all the time ! He doesn't care if the others know, and if anything, he might actually prefer them to know ! Like, "look at me, I have the two cutest s/o's ever !"
..Mundy on the other hand isn't so comfortable with it, and you'd often remind Jeremy if he gets overexcited and tries to show Mundy affection in public.
But in private? You all practically pile on top of each other showing affection. Ie, Mundy showing one of you affection, and the other practically throwing themself at him in order to get affection to. (I hope this made you think of a gmod ragdoll because thats what im going for)
In private places, Mundy straight up does not wanna let go, he's gonna cling until you tell him you gotta move. But once youre back comofortably, back to koala bear mode.
Something Mundy does that Jeremy thought was a little odd at first was sniffing. Sniper likes sniffing you and him like a puppy. He just finds your scents comforting.
Mundy loves giving you and Scout kisses on the forehead or top of your heads so he doesn't have to bend down that much. Scout can and has bragged about being the perfect height that he can kiss either of you on the lips without having to tell one of you to bend down. And if you're small, sometimes you settle for kissing them on the neck or chin so you don't have to ask them to bend down.
Scout 10/10 ambushes you with hugs from behind. And if Sniper sees him approaching you from behind? If he knows what Scout is doing, he'll keep quiet. But there have been times he completely outed Scout just because he was happy to see him and eager to greet him.
Scout acts like he likes being the big spoon, but he actually really likes being little. It gives him a sense of comfort and safety, but if anything, he prefers holding you guys while facing you instead of away. Bonus points if he can hold one of you to his chest like a plushy.
Sniper on the other hand likes being the big spoon. Just the feeling of you or Scout pressed against his body relaxes him so much that he falls asleep in just a few minutes. You and Scout don't have the heart to tease him for it cause he never gets enough sleep unless one of you are around.
You three sometimes have to take turns to see who gets to be in the middle. Sniper doesn't always participate in these little negotiations, he's just happy that you both wanna cuddle.
If youre small, Scout fucking loves carrying you, it makes him feel so strong and he gets to hold you close so win win. He has tried to pick up Sniper but they both fell over, and Sniper hasn't let him do it since. Snipes would carry you if you asked, and would be super blushy and amazed if you ever managed to carry him ! Same for scout tbh
Jeremy will sometimes grab you by the waist out of nowhere and pull you close to his side, bumping your hips together. The only reason he doesn't do that for Sniper as much is cause of the whole PDA thing.
Mundy is very prone to pulling either of you on his lap, but typically gets crushed after he pulls one of you and then the other insists to join (he likes it though).
Sniper usually sleeps at the innermost side of the bed cause hes a super light sleeper, meanwhile Scout sleeps at the edge side because you might need a nuclear bomb to wake this man up. Scout drools in his sleep btw and Mundy has seriously considered bringing a towel to bed because of it.
Every fuckin time you laugh Scout cant help but join even if youre laughing at something really gruesome or something. Sniper cant help but smile too.
Even tho Mundy isn't big on PDA, sometimes when he feels overwhelmed he'll hold your or Jeremy's sleeve or the back of your shirt for comfort.
Anyways. In general there's just so much bickering so there's never a dull moment. And Scout never fuckin shuts up so there's a lot of snarky remarks to be made.
But sometimes you or Mundy start feeling a little overwhelmed with all the noise. You both can recognize easily when the other is getting a little overwhelmed, but Jeremy needs a little time to figure out the cues. But when one of you lets him know, he'll start being a little quieter or just outright stop talking until he knows you guys are okay.
Back to cuddling hcs. You guys tend to fall asleep and wake up at completely different times, so you managed to keep a proper sleep schedule purely so you can all sleep together.
JEREMY KEEPS HOGGING THE BLANKET. AND MUNDY KEEPS HAVING COLD PEETS. Every fucking night Sniper gets annoyed and puts his cold feet on Jeremy to bug him, accidentally kicking you in the process, and it doesnt even wake up mister jer bear over here.
Anyways you guys have two blankets now
They love u lots :]

Sister location(separate)x reader who got an animatronic head springlocked onto them but survived? They kind of live with it but it does cause confusion is everyone(even themselves tbh)
Authors Note: °• .·.  Soo... in the sense of canon I dont know if I'll be able to do like animatronic x reader? Since of ennard and all. So I decided to just make this a Michael Afton x reader. Also I wanted to add a bit of a twistttt... Sorry about that! Warnings: HA , A CLIFF HANGER! I may write a part two to this actually because I had a nice idea. Binge watching stranger things is giving me thOUGHTS! Use of "r" !! .·. • ° ♥︎After that snap on your skull , everything became blurred. You remembered being a freshman in highschool. Your family had just moved to the town of Hurricane. The day you drove into the driveway of your new house , your eyes were glued on the other home across the street. Everyone in the coldasack seemed pretty friendly with one another , and your neighbors were especially happy faces.. on the outside. Clean and sleek , the supposed 'man' of the family gladly shaked your dads hand with a business man grin. The red head , who you came to learn went by the name Elizabeth properly skipped off with your other siblings. Her mom seemed to gently nudge the younger brunette boy to go show off his little bright yellow bear plushie to your brother. As the adults walked off , you and the boy your age stood around. He switched his head over to your direction , gave you a begruding smile and introduced himself to you. The only reason you guessed was his dad starring daggers into him. His hand extended out to you and you extended yours. "Micheal..." he not so pleasantly spoke. You gave him a cautious "R..." as a response. Awkardly you two shook hands and were made to go converse , really because of your's and his parents (more so his mom) trying to guide you both to start up a conversation. You were more opened to this , but he wasn't really talking. After that day , your family got certainly close with the Aftons. Always heading over to their house for special holidays and particular events. With you and Micheal being forced together , a sort-of friendship formed out of it. As time passed , you even became one of the people in his sort of circle. All of you would cause mini chaos , dawning early masks micheal got his hands on from his dad. You got along nicely with his siblings , Elizabeth being a very talkative/sweet child and Micheals littler brother was less bouncing around. You felt bad for the kid , never ever joining in on the bullying the boy would face by the hands of his older brother. Even questioning Micheal about it , he'd give you a light teasing and change the conversation. The year of 83 was not a nice one for the town , especially your neighbors. The crunched and mushed head of Micheals brother in the jaws of Freddy. It was just terrified silence carried with the laughing of the ones who caused this ... then screams. Glancing over quickly , the realization of what hadhappened mixed in with the most truest form of fear dawned Micheals face. After that day the relationship between your families became tarnished. Your parents started to regulate and try to stop you from seeing Micheal. Though with being his friend , you felt like you somewhat needed to see him again. There were nights where you would take horrendously long hikes to his house after moving a good ways away (why? you did not know for shit) and he would just sobb in your shoulder. You would wrap him in a hug and try to console him as much as you could. You were conflicted , but realized that Micheal wasn't really that much of a monster as everyone would build him out to be. You always tried to help him in any way possible , being right at his side. When you realised your slowly growing crush on him , to be honest it was weird. He always seemed like a really great friend to you , especially when his dickish behavior died down after that large loss. You got to witness that cocoon he had up before slowly being unraveled around him. You stuck with him through his darkest time. He was your friend you and you were his. But maybe.. maybe one day your friendship could flourish into more than this. Oh was a big storm coming in...

(It’s time for obscure asks with Julie!) what are your favorite and least favorite parts of the holiday season? If you could have coffee with one person, dead or alive, who would it be? What is your current favorite lyric?
yikes this is a hard que- NO IT ISN'T!! I love the community, I love the bonding, I love eating with my people, with my community, even if said community is small or mostly online (or both)
Dead too? Pete Steele. full stop. man had a heart of gold, a big teddy bear man with a prankster streak, I have always wanted to hug him and when Mom told me he died when I was literally 4 I cried and I still get sad that he's passed... alive? any of my moots or tbh anyone I interact with a lot on tumblr, including That One Tumblr Crush that hopefully No One Knows About
this is the one that has made this response take so long to shell out, I have gone through my spotify multiple times and I'm still struggling to pick one so idk if this is my favorite but in this very second, my favorite lyric is...yeah no I can't pick one but I can pick multiple from one song, if that's enough? I chose Appetite of a People Pleaser, and I do need to have a minor tw for ED, since the song is describing a character who people pleases so much that they develops an ED, that and I will be discussing my actual food habits and how or why I relate to the song, and while my eating habits are not unhealthy for my body, it can sound like it is, so... be careful:
"So many flavors that one would abhor
Even though I've had enough
I still demand
Give me more"
I very often can (and do) eat a pound of meat in one sitting, I usually eat roughly 10 or 12 ounces, but I can eat a full pound (16 ounces), and many people hate how I eat, some bully me for how I eat, many tell me I'm gross, and more still tell me things like "You'll regret that when you're thirty!!" and I get it, that woman was worried about me, but I would rather die young and live than die old and survive
I also relate because sometimes I get told I'm eating too much or I'm only eating this much because it's not filling, which also isn't true since I know more than a few people who eat this way and eat less, so I suppose "Even though I've had enough" I add "in your eyes" to it
"Call me obsequious
I guess I'm a bit dramatic
Sometimes my appetite is eerily erratic"
I love the word obsequious (and recommend looking up what it means bc tbh it surprised me a bit) and I love even more how Ghost made it sound in the song
as far as actually relating to the lyric, my appetite can be eerily erratic, people get creeped out by how much gusto I have about my food, how hungry I am, how very in love with my meat I am, and often getting freaked out about my cravings, such as raw meat
"Wondering why I'm a burden or so it seems
Aren't I everything?
Maybe if I try a little harder, it will be okay one day"
this one is because of my people pleasing, I often try harder than is healthy to make those around me happy that I burnout and become exactly what I'm aiming to avoid becoming, a burden
"Sometimes my appetite is violently contrary"
this one could be self explanatory, since I've already mentioned my eating habits, but I haven't added that I literally have had no carbs in almost a year (no I will not be adding carbs back to my diet I feel alive for the first time in my life)
hope that's not too much of an answer!!

Can i ask for a dark! Peter Parker that is super clingy?
[TW: mentions of suicide, self-harm, unhealthy relationships, involuntary drug consumption]
>>500 followers special!<<
Clingy Dark!Peter Parker
Tumblr media
It's exam season and I'm panicking how's life going for yall
Clingy Peter is like a koala bear
Just hangs on to you and doesn't let go
Except that koala bear is completely unhinged, so more like a drop bear really
Two weeks into the relationship he was ready to get married tbh
Has he drugged you to cuddle you a little longer? Most definitely
More than once probably, rip your liver
Would deliberately hurt himself to have your attention
"Pretends" to be a danger to himself
(he already is, just tends to embellish it with very dramatic acting)
"I don't want to hurt myself when you're around"
Definitely has threatened/hinted that he would kill himself as a last resort to have you stay with him -> not necessarily in a break-up situation, even a "it's late and I should go home" situation
Fake crying/meltdown/breakdown so you hug him
"No, no, no, don't leave me!"
You were just going to the store
If you pay too much attention to someone else, even a relative, he goes through a legitimate depressive episode
If he doesn't have your undivided attention he will make up a wild story to have you pity love him
His hand is constantly on or around you
Gets fidgety and irritable when you're not around
Camps out outside the bathrooms waiting for you but only because you started a fight once about a grown man going into the women's restroom
Whatever you're doing, wherever you're going, he's coming with you
Your friends regularly point out how unhealthy that is, so Peter gets quietly angry: he can't have you believe them
He might or might not have bludgeoned some of them into a near-death state
The blood on him is because he hurt himself and he needs your attention...right?
If you manage to hang out on your own or with someone, Peter's stalking you without a doubt
If you don't text/call him back right away, he starts to genuinely panic
Scares away any man you know (the ancient art of threats, blackmailing and caving someone's face in), maybe except for a male parental figure if you have one - it would be very counter-productive to have your parents/guardians wary of him
I feel like he would easily worm his way into your mother's/female parental figure's heart with that sheepish look he has
Asks if you still love him like three times a day at least
Stalks your social media and gets upset at any mention/picture that involves someone else
Peter's thoughts would spiral if you as much as don't give him a forehead kiss first thing in the morning
For him it's an immediate sign you're probably angry or hate him and that's he's not good enough and you love someone else and-
No, you're just still sleepy and detached from reality
If you're anything but chipper he's preparing for you to confess your hatred towards him, which, let's be honest, is not going to happen anytime soon
His hugs crush bones and suffocate, Peter's like a scared toddler holding a teddy bear
Which is a pretty good analogy, really: he's terrified of you leaving him (in any sense of the word) and he's convinced that aside from you there is nothing worth living for
If you're just doing some chores around the house, he's either helping you or following you around
You could be cooking or ironing and he's just standing there, back hugging you silently
Because of his clearly unstable emotional state, you developed a habit of frequently telling him you love him and asking him if he's okay
Peter's a huge fan of that
You can barely talk to anyone without him getting upset, so he's easily alienating you from your social circles

YIPPEE also: i forgot to mention these two in my list of Music Mary Introduced Norman To (iirc it was elton john, fleetwood mac, and billy joel) but. she strikes me as the type to listen to cyndi lauper and kate bush. this definitely isn’t a prompt i just felt the need to bring it up
i have. a few headcanons but i dont wanna flood your inbox so im just gonna rattle off as many of em as i can :D👍
norman derives a lot of comfort from stuffed animals but since getting back from the institution he’s become really embarrassed about it
he has a pretty limited range of safe foods because either Taste Bad or Texture Bad. usually Texture Bad
he’s really warm. he doesn’t notice it, but whenever mary hugs him or something she’s like “holy shit you’re cozy”
tbh. i feel like norman forgets to eat pretty often. partly because sometimes he just… doesn’t realize when he’s hungry until it starts to Feel Really Bad
now that ive written these i am hella curious as to your thoughts on ‘em! again they’re not quite prompts but they can def be fodder for something!
I LOVE ALL OF THESE!! Also don’t u dare be afraid of flooding my inbox, I WISH my Inbox was flooded.
I can imagine the institution really did it’s best to just crush any decent coping mechanisms Norman had. They probably thought it would help him “grow up” or deter his age regression (I know that’s only technically canon to the book, but Tony performs those parts even when it’s not necessarily in the script. He’s so good at knowing when to put Norman in a childlike mindset). Suggestion: Modern AU where Mary takes Norman to Build-A-Bear?
The thing that’s so funny to me about Norman’s horrendous eating habits is that Tony was JUST AS BAD 💀 his milk drinking was fucking infamous. He lived on grilled cheese sandwiches and chocolate junket pudding. He adored hamburgers and literally has multiple quotes saying “I was trying to listen to this director/someone who was speaking to me, but I was sooooo hungry I wanted a cheeseburger SOOOOOO bad 😫”. They both love to eat garbage basically, and u know what? Slay.
And now I’m like really thinking about the stuff Norman eats and Jesus Christ. it really is just candy corn, fried chicken steak, grilled cheese sandwiches, peanut butter, milk… like… girl … EAT A REAL MEAL 💀💥 even when he DOES remember to eat, he’s just eating the most horrendous crap. No wonder he doesn’t put on weight, he’s eating like.. styrofoam.
Also the Kate Bush fan hc for Mary is SO real. I bet she likes The Police too I can totally imagine her and Norman jamming out to some of their tracks.

//i’m gonna post some kaislynn/molly headcanons bc it’s my blog and no one can stop me
he’s probably what convinces her to leave trostenwald (not bc INSTANT CRUSH, more like actually talking her into getting out of comfort zone)
gets her out of her shell in general, tries to get her into shenanigans (and probably succeeds) and to open up to casual friendly physical affection (which would be VERY slow going)
they bond over being weird despite having totally opposite temperaments/being an introvert & extrovert to extremes, trusts him more than most of the group early on since he seems to have the least amount of ulterior motives (other than jester and yasha probably). might teach him (and yasha!) about plants & flowers since she’d be the ONLY PERSON IN THE PARTY WITH ANY NATURE PROFICIENCY, and would let him play with Juno in ferret form when he needs something to do
molly probably knows she has a crush once it sets in tbh, she’s not good at subtlety or even lying lmao. might even catch her doodling him in her sketchbook. is both a teasing bastard but also kind about it at the same time.
she doesnt have a card before he gets lorenzo’d, but his nickname for her is ‘sunflower’ (i stole that from either a reader insert fic on ao3 or a thing on tumblr?? i forget but i LOVE it)
doesnt trust cree IMMEDIATELY because of the blood magic more than anything, but also seeing something making molly visibly uncomfortable is so out there that it’s a red flag
in werebear au, she first transforms in front of the nein when lorenzo was about the kill him; i’m thinking her silver cuff bracelet is how she keeps herself in control most of the time, and she just casually takes it off and bears out when she sees molly about to die (and by casually i mean consumed by RAGE)
i think werebear works well for a molly lives au, cause a huge ass werebear charging at you might’ve been enough to get lorenzo to at least get away from molly long enough for her to heal him and scold the shit outta him (while still transformed, bc it would be funny)
in canon au, some weird feywild-y shit happens after he dies akin to yasha’s wing bustin’ out. maybe weird eye shit or shadows bleeding off her body as she’s grieving, idk! think dark fey-type stuff
would probably want to take his coat with them, but unless they actually were a thing beforehand she would let the rest of the nein decide what to do with his things. i cant remember if he had anything moonweaver-related, but she’d probably take that as her memento. would probably ask jester if she could help collaborate on his deck sometimes
she probably gets really clingy to caduceus (as much as he’d be comfortable with at least), as he’s just such a soothing presence to everyone while they’re grieving, and they can also bond over nature & the wildmother. eventually might worry that she’s using him as a replacement for molly and back off for a while til they talk about it. either way they probably end up as besties/platonic somethings in both molly aus
after finding molly’s empty grave, she’d be keeping his coat for the time being. it’s a blanket now.
oh god she would have such i-hate-him-but-he’s-hot feelings about lucien you don’t wanna know; if he caught on to her feelings for the ‘sliver’ and teased her about it she would probably actually punch his stupid face. like i said she’s not good at subtlety
at molly’s second ressurection? she’s crying, can’t even look at his fucked up body until the group’s started the ritual. i have no idea if her help would’ve made a difference in the first try, druid magic and all that, but either way she’d be making him promise to thank the Wildmother later
he notices her last, as her legs are too weak to get up while she’s watching him go through the nein and remembering his deck. as soon as he’s said the word ‘sunflower’, since no card, she’s running at him and practically knocking his ass over with the force of the hug. big passionate smooch if they were together, but definitely getting tears all over him. probably the only time she doesn’t get all flustered around a naked person
she’s watching him like a hawk once they’re back at the grove, mostly because she’s just so happy and relieved that he’s okay. she skips out on the team meeting to keep an eye on him, and is still out there when he curls up and falls asleep.
does not let jester do greater restoration if she can help it; they have NO idea how this process works, and messing with it could be a bad idea! no touch!!
if her and molly actually end up together, they end up moving (semi-permanently bc molly can’t possibly stay in one place) to nicodranas, bc you know the beach life eventually grew on kaislynn, but she also tree walks to the blooming grove regularly
if kingsley.... wellp she’s gonna be real sad about it but she also wants him to be happy, so she’s just gonna keep her memories close and try to become a better liar

Jealousy
With Xiao, Diluc and Albedo
—————————
Xiao:
It’s very easy to make the vigilant yaksha jealous
He doesn’t really know that it’s jealousy though, he just knows that he does NOT like the way he feels when other people flirt with you
He’ll sit there and bear with it though, at least until he can get you alone. Then, Xiao will grab your arm and give you a spine crushing hug, practically growling in your ear
“You are not interested in them romantically, right??” He’ll ask “Right???”
You’ll assure him that no, you don’t like those other guys and you still love him. He’ll loosen up and sag against you “Alright...”
Xiao believes you but there’s an ugly voice in the back of his mind that whispers over and over that he isn’t right for you, that you’re destined to be with someone who doesn’t have to go out and slaughter demons at all hours of the day. Someone else could make you far happier than him.
That’s why jealousy is such an ugly emotion, he’s secretly jealous of someone who isn’t even real! A mythical person his brain has created in order to torment him
So when you assure him that you love him, that those other people can’t compare to him...It feels nice
Diluc:
Poor Diluc lmao
He doesn’t get super jealous tbh but there are times where he feels inadequate
Usually, he has a perfect poker face but when he sees people flirting with you while he’s bar tending at the Angels Share, he just wants to step out to collect himself...or sulk
He’ll call Charles to take over for him to he can ‘get some air’ but yeah, he’s really just sulking behind the tavern pffttt
You’ve been laughing it up with those new knight recruits for two hours now, you haven’t even spared him a glance. He loves that you have friends!! Don’t get him wrong, despite being knights those guys seem like great people! But damn, he wishes he could make you laugh like that more often. Maybe he needs to get some new jokes...
When you come outside to see him, his face will flush bright red “Hey Diluc! Whats wrong?” “Nothing, I’m just feeling...hot” “Hot..? Take off your coat, silly! Come back inside, you gotta hear this story!” now he feels like an idiot lmao
He can hide the face that he feels jealous and play of off at him just being his awkward self but later, when the two of you lay down to go to bed he’ll hold you close and whisper all kinds of stuff about how much he loves you, basking in your love when you return his affection
He feels much better now :’)
Albedo:
Since he isn’t usually openly emotional, you wouldn’t be able to tell he was feeling jealous until he opened his mouth
“Hm. You have been spending an awful lot of time with Captain Kaeya lately” he’ll point out, almost sounding bitter about it “I could have used your company here in the lab”
He may not be the most social guy on earth! However he likes when you hang around him! So when you’re busy with other people, he’ll huff and sigh a lot more while you’re away. Sucrose thinks it’s a little funny :)
“Kaeya was helping me train, that’s all” “Training...I could help with that. I’d say my sword fighting skills are superior to his” “Albedo? Are you jealous that I was training with Kaeya?” “No”
He isn’t that convincing though, especially with how quick he is to deny it lmao. Albedo CANT STAND feeling inferior to anyone so while his face may be showing neutral emotions, inside he’s screaming “I CAN DO THAT TOO!! PICK MEEEE” lmao
You’ll never hear him say it. That quick denial of being jealous is the closest you’ll get! So C’mon, take him up on that training opportunity! It would make his day :)
He gets over his jealously pretty quick though so you don’t have to worry about him sulking or pouting *cough*Diluc*cough*

the demons brothers + a touch starved mc
Lucifer
If you’re going to Lucifer because you’re touch starved, then you’re definitely going to be close to him already -- he doesn’t let just anyone touch him.
.......He’s also touch starved but won’t admit it, so one of you is gonna just have to bite the bullet and make a move.
(It’s gonna have to be you)
You’re going to have to go about this carefully--make a really good plan and then execute it flawlessly.
Literally just throw yourself at him. 
He’ll catch you. 
Probably.
Nothing says ‘give me affection’ quite like yeeting yourself off the staircase at him, and he definitely understands what you want when you latch on tight to him like a weird little barnacle that he cant peel off no matter how hard he tries dfghjkkgf
He’s really warm and he smells Really nice and he hugs you so tight, like it’s the last chance he’ll ever get, so he’s honestly one of the best snuggle buddies. 
He’s gonna act all fussy about your love-attack at first--just play with his hair and smother him with lots of kisses and he won’t be able to resist snuggling u. Or banging u, but that’s your choice
Y’know, because “demons can’t resist temptation” and all that jazz. 
(tbh he just likes likes you alot)
Mammon
...Why are you staring at him like you wanna eat him?
Seriously, knock it off, you’re freaking him out!
Wait, why are you coming closer…? Get Back you Fiend don’t you DARE wrap your arms around him and nuzzle your face into his chest like that what the FU--
...Oh.
Huh. This is kinda nice.
(Just hug him. If you want his affection, just wrestle him into a bear hug and don’t. let. go.)
At first, Mammon doesn’t really understand affection that isn’t along the lines of a friendly/loving punch. He’s not used to kindness. It’s a fucking tragedy. 
He doesn’t know how to ask for love because I don’t think he even realizes thats an option, tbh. 
He’s kind of like an unsocialized puppy--will definitely put up a fight until he realizes that, hey, being snuggled is nice.
Luckily for Mams, you are touch starved and determined to show his stupidass what affection is supposed to be like. 
He’s going to get so blushy. Sooo blushy. He totally pretends to not like it at first, but inside he’s over the fucking moon happy.
It takes him a while, but eventually, he realizes that he can ask you for snuggles too. At first he’s all “C’mere human, I bet you’re just itchin’ for me to hug ya, so let me make all your dreams come true!”
(It’s a defense mechanism.)
But over time, he eventually seeks you out and just flops on top of ya, and doesn’t feel the need to make a big show about it.
He feels safe with you, and that’s priceless.
Levi
Is incredibly confused about why you’re seeking out him for affection.
When you ask him if you can give him a hug, he expects you to just like... Wrap one arm around his shoulders for .2 seconds. 
Which doesn’t sound too bad, so he says “Um, sure, I guess? I dunno why you’d want to though” 
So when you climb into his lap and wrap your arms around him like a koala bear, his brain straight up blue-screens. 
Seriously, he forgets how to breathe. Don’t squeeze him too hard or he might never restart.
You smooch him on his cheek and his soul promptly leaves his body and is ejected into the atmosphere at mach 5.
This is literally better than Heaven. And he would know, he used to live there.
He totally freezes up and makes a wheezy sound that’s somewhere along the scale of “Dying Animal” and “Exploding Sink”
Needless to say, you create a snuggle monster.
I promise you that you’re never going to be touch starved again, because once you’ve given Levi a taste, he can’t get enough. 
He constantly needs to be touching you. Holding your hand or the fabric of your shirt, leaning against you, sitting with you in his lap while he plays video games--it literally doesn’t matter, he just needs that contact with you or he might literally die. 
He’s very enthusiastic about it dfghkfd
Satan
Look… Satan is very smart. 
But he’s also incredibly dense at times. 
You have to be blunt with him, or else he’s just not going to know what you want.
(Feelings that aren’t all consuming anger and hatred are still a bit new to him--he’s learning as he goes)
Just walk up to him and tell him that you need him to snuggle you right now, dammit. Lay your soul bare to him. 
He really does love that you trust him. It makes him feel all weird and fuzzy inside.
And how can he possibly say no when you set his heart alight?
That said, he is a bit of an over-thinker. 
Worries about crossing boundaries or making you uncomfortable and a million other things--give him lots of reassurance pls
He isn’t opposed at all to cuddle sessions, especially if he’s able to read at the same time. 
It definitely becomes a normal thing to cocoon yourselves up in a really fluffy blanket to read together.
Satan is honestly one of the best to snuggle with because he’s very chill about it. You want this and he wants this, so he doesn’t see a point in playing games.
So yeah, he’s chill! But he’ll also threaten the life of anybody who interrupts you guys 
Asmo
Please, he knows that you’re touch starved before you even do.
Until you’re upfront about it, he’s going to tease you by like, patting your head, playing footsie with you, giving you only the briefest of hugs--just slowly giving you a taste of his affection until you finally cave and demand that he snuggles you properly. 
(Is that a euphemism? It could be lol)
As soon as you ask he’s gonna push you down onto the nearest couch/bed/whatever and just flop on top of you. 
Honestly, Asmo wants You to be the one holding Him. He wants to use your chest as a pillow, and doesn’t he just look so cute all snuggled up to you like this? He totally does, you should take a pic of him!
Cuddle sessions are absolutely going to become a regular thing, and he makes them into a big event each time. My mans Asmo is gonna bust out the candles and the softest blankets and the fluffiest pillows.
If the opportunity strikes, he’s definitely gonna try to bang you.
If not, expect to do face-masks together. Maybe manicures. But definitely the face-masks, at least.
He’s gonna spin this into a fuckfest or a self care session--it really just depends on what you prefer sdghjk
Once you’re in his arms, he will tickle you. rip
Beel
He is the BEST hugger in the whole entire world.
When you approach him and ask for cuddles he will pull you into a hug without hesitation.
I do not care how tall you are, Beel is taller. He will engulf you in a hug and rest his chin on your head and sway you back and forth 
You want a piggyback ride? Hop on. 
Just wanna watch tv and snuggle? Great idea! :D but maybe don’t watch cooking shows or he’s gonna drool on you dfghj
(lowkey I think he would really enjoy watching human movies with you. He found Mamma Mia to be absolutely enchanting)
Want him to lay on top of you and crush you until all of your woes have been squeezed away? He will absolutely oblige you
Congratulations on your newly acquired teddy bear! Please don’t forget to feed him.
Literally just sit on his lap or wrap your arms around him whenever you want, he’s always down for a good snuggle. 
He’s by far the nicest about it too, he won’t tease you about it and he will never hold back from telling you exactly how much he loves holding you in his arms
Definitely loves to be the big spoon but has no problems with being the little spoon either. 
He’s just so fuckimg SWEET
Belphie
Oh, you're touch starved? Perfect. He's been in the market for a good snuggle buddy.
You silly human, why didn’t you come to him sooner?
Don’t listen to what Asmo says, snuggles are Belphie’s domain.
Once it’s established that you two are going to be snuggle buddies, he will literally just abduct you for snuggle time. 
He doesn’t care what you’re doing, he’s going to throw you over his shoulder like a sack of flour and haul you off to his blanket nest whenever he wants.
He just wants you all to himself. 
Will share your snuggle time with Beel tho.
After abducting you, he's just gonna toss you onto his bed and fall on top of you. He's really warm and he really just wants to lay on you. Partially so that you cant escape once he falls asleep lmaoo
He's happy to just talk to you about whatever you want while you guys get your snuggle on, but be warned: he's eventually going to fall asleep. 
Probably mid sentence. 
He won’t wake up when you poke at his cheeks or shake him, either. So uh. I hope you’re in the mood for a nap too!
Get matching sloth onesies with him. He’ll tell you it’s stupid but he’s actually thrilled with them. (Make sure you also get Beel a bear one though)
((part two with the undateables + Luke))

─• team 7 as types of best friends
︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵
Tumblr media
‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ ‿︵‿
(am i writing something about best friends again? yes. do i care? no)
𝒩𝒶𝓇𝓊𝓉𝑜:
Is the best kind of friend. He’s loyal, funny, kind and genuinely cares about the people in his life. What more could you possibly want?
He is the one you usually go to when you need a pick me up. It doesn’t even matter what’s wrong, when you come over and he sees the look on your face you’re immediately getting pulled into the biggest hug ever
Has such a way with words that you find yourself smiling or laughing in every situation, he’s just that good. Your friendship in general is all sunshine and rainbows and laughs lol
Speaking of! Naruto gives the best hugs ever and you can’t change my mind
He envelopes your whole body in a bear hug before picking you off the ground slightly and kind of just…holds you for a good minute or two. It’s very comforting
Is down to do everything you want, no matter how crazy it might sound. He’s adventurous like that and your presence makes everything better anyway
You can call him at 3 am and you best believe he’ll go and get ice cream with you
Gets very protective and stands up for you even when you’re not around
Always believes in you and your dreams, no matter how impossible they might look to others. He supports everything you do 100%
If you ever feel like giving up, he’s there to pick you and to encourage you to keep going
Because of that, you feel like the best version of yourself around him
Lowkey has a crush on you (and you totally made out once shh)
𝒮𝒶𝓀𝓊𝓇𝒶:
Sakura, my baby, she gives the best advice! You can come to her for everything and after an hour or so of talking all of your problems suddenly disappear or just don’t seem that serious anymore.
You guys often have sleepovers that consist of you gossiping about boys/girls or whatever’s been happening around the village lately
You don’t really get any sleep tho and just stay up laughing and eating junk food (be prepared bc after one of these nights, she’ll make you eat greens for like a week bc you don’t argue with a doctor)
Sometimes Ino joins you as well
She has the tendency to get very caught up in her work and everything she does in general so Sakura really appreciates it when you get her out of that state and force her to relax
Will get mani-pedis with you each month
Face masks and bath bombs are a must! (yes, with no context)
She will too resort to violence if someone dares to talk ill about you 😊 she’s even scarier than sasuke
Your opinion matters a lot to her so she comes to you for advice or even just a good talk as much as you come to her. You got each other’s backs always
Has meet all of your significant others and she only liked…one of them :(( the others she couldn’t stand lol
Is really, and I mean really good at reading people and their intentions so she understands right away when someone isn’t serious or just wants to play around with you (and she’s always right too)
(has tried to get you and Naruto together numerous times bc of that)
You definitely had a slight crush on all three of them at some point
𝒮𝒶𝓈𝓊𝓀𝑒:
Sasuke is just…Sasuke lmao (which means perfect jshgkj)
He is the best listener. Can listen to you vent about anything under the sun without interrupting once!
Tbh, you feel the most comfortable around him. You can let all of your emotions out, be it anger or sadness, bc you know he won’t ever judge you
His presence alone is very comforting and while he was rather awkward at first, with time he started comforting you with words and soft touches as well
Is not as adventurous as Naruto but you can rope him into some crazy shit too! Just ask
He is the one that you can chill on a roof with and watch the stars all night. That’s usually when talks about deeper topics happen and he finally doesn’t hold back
Remembers everything you tell him, no matter how insignificant it may be
Will slap a bitch for you no questions asked! Sasuke doesn’t jump to your defense impulsively like Naruto does but if something pisses him off, violence is suddenly the only answer 😊
We all know he isn’t one for physical affection but if you happen to hug him, he’ll NEVER push you off (but he won’t always return them either)
You guys have this thing where you get in his car and drive around for a few hours just to get away from everything
He will sometimes relax while resting his head on your lap. If you start playing with his hair he might even fall asleep
Will play the role of your fake boyfriend if you ever need one lol, and he doesn’t even ask any questions (he makes an amazing fake bf tho)
Your mom adores him

Old Time Memory (Terrance Swaino x f!reader)
Alright, so uh... I already stopped considering myself a writer tbh, but... Here I am :’) Not sure if anyone’s gonna read it (I mean... there’s not even Small Engine Repair fandom on AO3 so he’s clearly an unpopular character... and the story’s not even smutty so it’s definitely not gonna be popular xDD), but I just had this idea about Swaino for a while and decided to get it out of my system. Enjoy?..
Summary: Sometimes high school reunions are not that bad after all.
Warnings: none; alcohol consumption and a bit of kissing. i’m so fluffy, ugh
Words: 2088; gif by me (credit if using); AO3 link if you prefer reading there
Tumblr media
“Sometimes it feels good to be back,” you catch yourself thinking as you take another sip of your beer.
Life is unpredictable indeed. This morning when you were driving your car on the way to the small town you were born and raised in, you were full of doubts. Do you really have to attend this thing? High school reunions are overrated. Not that you hated school or have bad memories about it… Actually the memories are mostly rather nice, but… It’s been so long since you left, and you weren’t in contact with any of your classmates. You saw some of their pages on facebook, and just couldn’t find anything in common any longer. It’s crazy how life pulls you in different directions and in the end it’s like you’re from totally different worlds. What are you gonna talk about anyways?.. But even though the idea seemed questionable, this morning you still found yourself on the road. Partly it was curiosity, partly this nostalgic feeling, the excitement of walking the streets you knew so well as a kid but haven’t seen in ages… And also you just needed some distraction since life has been rather stressful for the past few weeks. You felt like drowning in the work routine and the prospect of escaping for a while to the place of your young and carefree days seemed not so bad.
But if someone told you this morning that you’re gonna end up in a karaoke bar drinking beer and giggling quietly at the hilarious singing talents of people on stage, you’d be really surprised. And you’d be even more surprised to learn that you’re gonna be in this bar with Terrance Swaino.
Oh man, Terrance Swaino… You haven’t seen him since high school, not even on facebook. But you still recognised him immediately. You and him never really used to hang out together - you were way too different. You were a good girl at school. Not really a nerd, but rather quiet, you studied well and never caused problems. And Swaino… Well, you couldn’t call him a bad guy, but… He definitely was someone who could get you (and himself) in trouble. He wasn’t stupid, but he never had excellent marks, prefering to fool around rather than studying. You didn’t really interact with Swaino until that time a teacher paired you up for a chemistry project.
The feelings you used to have for this guy you couldn’t explain even now, being a grown up woman. Did you have a crush on him? No, definitely you didn’t. But there certainly was some sort of mutual attraction, and neither of you knew what to do with it. This guy used to drive you mad sometimes, made you roll your eyes and think “oh god, what an idiot!..” And yet, truth be told - you liked him way more than you wanted to admit. Hell, you even went to a school dancing night together once, and that night, it was almost… Romantic? It didn’t go any further though, because you and Swaino? Come on. You would make the weirdest couple ever...
Anyway, back to the present day and the high school reunion. You see Swaino, and he sees you. And before you know what’s happening, before you even open your mouth to say hi, he hugs you, and it’s one of those bear hugs that make you suddenly feel small against the man’s frame. He even lifts you up a little, causing you to gasp in surprise.
“I’ll be damned, look who’s there! Y/n, is it really you??”
“I think so, yes,” you giggle at his excitement. “Hey there, Terrance Swaino.”
“Wow… Look at you!” he clicks his tongue, observing you for a few seconds, an expression of pure joy and amusement on his face. “You’ve changed.”
“And you’re still the same, except for the beard,” you say, and he laughs at your simple joke before saying with sudden seriousness:
“It’s good to see you again.”
“Yeah, it’s good to see you too.”
The party goes on as it should. You meet people you used to know. There are smiles and small talks, you learn about their jobs, families and kids, tell them about yourself. You were right, there’s nothing much in common between you now. But Swaino… You feel a different kind of vibe from him. Like you both don’t really belong here.
He finds you again at some point, when you’re already considering getting back to your hotel, and suggests going to the bar. You hesitate for a moment, and then...
And then this bastard smiles. No, he grins, and suddenly for a moment you literally see that boy from school. The boy you wanted to punch and to kiss equally badly sometimes. The boy who actually kissed you once, and it happened to be your very first kiss. That charming dumbass. Yep, he’s changed for sure, you lied when you say he didn’t. He’s got these wrinkles at the corners of his eyes now when he smiles like that, and somehow it makes him even more adorable. This smile left you no chance to say no.
So now you’re here, having another pint. You know you’re getting pretty close to your drinking limit, but for now you’re still in control. You feel a bit tipsy, but in a pleasant way; relaxed and cheerful. It’s been a while since you went out last time, and you’re just enjoying the night and Swaino’s company. People keep coming up on stage, they sing, mostly badly, but no one cares - a typical karaoke night.
“Shit,” Terrance laughs to himself, taking another sip. “Can’t believe I’m hanging here in this bar with you .”
“Huh?” You raise your eyebrow. “Why’s that?”
“Are you kidding me?” He chuckles. “You were always so quiet at school, not much of a party goer.”
“Well, things change,” you shrug.
“You still look kinda too serious for this place, you know,” he teases, licking his lips.
“Oh yeah?” Maybe it’s just the alcohol that has such an effect on you, but you suddenly feel slightly offended. “You know what? You don’t know me, Swaino.”
Grabbing your glass, you finish your beer at one go and give him a smirk before getting on your feet.
“Wha… W-wait, what are you doing?..” You hear him mumbling as you decidedly make your way towards the stage. Karaoke isn’t really your thing but tonight you’re drunk enough to be a little adventurous. Swaino silently follows you, looks in amusement as you turn the catalogue pages searching for the song.
“Noo… You’re not gonna do it!”
“You bet your ass I will!”
The song is Bon Jovi’s It’s My Life - for some reason it’s the first thing that caught your eye. When you’re on stage with the microphone in your hand, you feel a slight rush of panic, but the look on Swaino’s face, both amused and terrified, is so hilarious that it makes you forget the fear. Fuck it. No one knows you, and no one gives a shit after all, everyone’s just having fun.
And you sing. You’re not sure if you sing well, but it’s fun, and people sing with you, and damn, you really enjoy yourself, huh?
“YEAH!!” Swaino screams, as the song is over and the audience gives you a round of applause. “THAT’S MY GIRL Y’ALL!!!” And you feel almost like some kind of a rockstar… Until you suddenly trip on your way back down from the stage. Alcohol did, in fact, play its dirty trick on you.
Swaino’s large hands save you from falling on the floor.
“Whoa, ma’am… Guess someone needs a bit of air, huh?” He scoffs before literally pulling you over his shoulder to carry away.
“Fuck off, Swaino, put me down!” You try to protest, but he’s bigger and stronger than you, and he puts you back on your feet only when you’re outside.
“Idiot,” you mutter, but as you look at his face and his adorably tousled hair, you can’t help but smile.
“Easy! I actually saved your ass here,” he retorts. “How’s your leg, by the way? Can you walk?”
“Yeah, I’m fine,” you make a couple of careful steps. “Thanks for catching me.”
“Anytime. Consider it stage-diving.”
“Always wanted to try it.”
“Who knew you’re such a rock star now,” Swaino chuckles. “Love it though. You were great.”
“Good to know.” You feel the heat on your cheeks at his words and the way he says it. Oh no. You can’t be into him after all those years… Or can you?..
“Wanna get back to the bar?” he asks after a little pause.
“No, you actually were right - I do need some air,” you admit.
“Okay. Well, if your leg is fine we could take a little walk around the neighborhood,” he suggests. “I bet you missed good old Manch Vegas.”
*
You end up sitting on the bench at the top of the hill. From here you could see the lights of the downtown, and you always found this place beautiful. In your teenage years, it was also a popular dating place. Guys would drive the girls here to make out in the car at the sunset… Or not only to make out, according to gossip. But apparently the times have changed, and on this Friday night you and Terrance are here all alone.
You sit in silence for a while. The view from the hill is still truly lovely, but you just can’t help glancing at him. The wind is playing with his messy dark hair, and somehow at this moment he seems so beautiful to you. You’re not sure if it’s the alcohol, or your teenage memories… Or just the magic of the night. Or a bit of everything.
“Hey, Swaino.”
“Huh?” He gives you a questioning look.
“You know you were my first kiss, right?”
“No shit, really?..”
“Yep,” you nod.
“Well… Basically… You were my first kiss as well. I mean like the first real one… Kinda…” he shrugs, letting out a small laugh.
“Seriously?” you raise your eyebrows. “I thought you were an experienced guy.”
“Nah. I just wanted to look cool.”
“I see.”
You both laugh quietly at the memory.
“Anyway, how was it?” Swaino asks suddenly.
“How was what?” You give him a puzzled look.
“Well, the kiss. I did good?”
“Oh, that… Man…” you hide your face in your palms for a moment before looking at him again. “That was… Actually, REALLY awkward.”
“Was it?”
“Uh huh. You just… I think you… didn’t really know what to do with your tongue,” you snort a laugh.
“Ah, shit.” He shakes his head and you laugh again, together.
“You know…” Swaino starts, after a short pause. “I uh… I think I got better with my tongue now.”
“Really?” You try to play it cool, but your heart nearly skips a beat when you hear yourself saying “You got a proof?”
“I guess.”
With this he leans in closer, and there it is - this precious moment when you already know it’s happening, and the anticipation almost makes you shiver. A gentle bump of your noses against each other, a light scratch of his beard on your skin, and finally, finally his lips capture yours.
Damn. It feels great. From the very beginning. You expected him to be rough, but he kisses you with a sudden tenderness, he is unhurried, and yet pretty much determined, as you can feel his large palm cupping the back of your neck, urging you to move even closer. The way his tongue presses against yours, shamelessly claiming your mouth, that barely heard low moan escaping him as he savors the kiss, the way he holds you - all this is hot, and yet so sweet it makes you melt.
“So… Did I make any progress?” His voice is slightly hoarse as he draws back a tiny bit, still so close you can feel his breath on your lips.
“You… sure did,” you mumble, reaching out and letting your fingers sink into the softness of his hair. “Don’t be too full of yourself though, Terrance Swaino.”
His extremely content chuckle tells you he actually is quite full of himself and you want to punch him for a second, like in good old school days when you weren’t so sure if you liked him or hated him. But when he kisses you again, nothing else matters any longer.
Sometimes it feels good to be back.
Indeed.

Thanks for reading! Any feedback is highly appreciated!

“Love isn’t beautiful but with you it was”
Life disappears in the blink of an eye, but the memories created and the human connection formed does not. The memories created are embedded in our hearts and follow us through different paths of life. Whether those memories are good or bad, they become something we reflect on in later moments.
Nishimura Riki couldn’t exactly remember the first time he met you but all he knew was that he had never hit off with someone the way he did with you.
September 2012
Although Niki couldn't pinpoint the exact date you guys started talking, he knew it was in September of 2012. He knew at first he disliked you and wanted nothing to do with you because you had stolen his spot on the swings.
“That's my spot, I told Jay I was going to stay here forever,” he said while his friend who was behind him nodded enthusiastically, backing him up.
“Your name is not on it and you didn’t buy it so why should I leave?” you asked him without coming down because you got there fair and square.
“I called dibs on it,” he said while puffing out his chest.
“Dibs are for babies,” you say while continuing to swing. “I’m not a baby,” he retorts.
“If you say so, then why are you wearing a Talking Tom T-Shirt?” you ask and his face begins to turn red. “It's cool, isn't it Jay?” he nudges his friend asking him for support. “Cool man, girls just suck” Jay responds and they both leave. “At least I dress myself!” you yell at their retreating figures
After that day, Niki made it his mission to disturb you every day and never wore his Talking Tom shirt again after that day.
August 2016
“Niki!!” you screamed as you felt another water balloon hit your leg. At this point, your entire body was soaked. The young boy continued to laugh and run as you chased him. You were beginning to regret spending your summer break with him when you could be watching TV instead. Eventually, you give up chasing the blond-haired boy and go into the house to dry off. Thirty minutes later, Niki comes in with a bottle of orange juice as a form of apology. You snatch it without further thought and drink it. Looking up at him after you finish drinking it, you both burst into a fit of laughter. “You’re lucky I love food,” you say. Maybe spending the summer with him wouldn't be so bad.
December 2018
Your crush on Niki was painfully obvious to everyone but him. Your friends teased you, his friends teased you yet when you were together you denied it with so much vigour. Niki had liked you for a few months now. Everyone was enjoying the slow burn that was going on between the two of you; the soft glances across the room, the way you always looked for each other among crowds, the way he knew where your secret birthmark was even though your close friends didn’t.
It was the way you complimented each other that made everyone cringe and aw at the same time. The jacket you got him for his birthday was his most prized piece of clothing and the only person he let touch it was his mum. This year though, you gathered enough courage and told him how he meant to you and how you were content with being just friends even if it hurt a little. But you weren’t expecting Niki to say he felt the same way, even more so. Your friends heaved a sigh of relief and choruses of ‘Finally’ were echoed.
It felt good being with someone.
January 2019
Everyone argued with people they loved right? Your parents did, the old lady that sells fruit and her boyfriend did so you and Niki weren’t an exception. After being childhood friends for so long you’d think you could trust each other enough to talk about the things that bothered you but he refused to, claiming that he didn’t want you to see him in a different light and how it would hurt his pride. You would tell him that no one knew him more and cared about him the way you did. At times, you’d let it go not wanting to push him but that day you couldn’t take it.
“We need to talk. Why have you been avoiding me these past few days?” you asked him.
“I’ve just been busy” he replied.
“No, you’ve been avoiding me. I know you well enough to know when you're hiding something” you said.
He wouldn't budge, he never did especially when you cornered him like this. He started to get irritated and said, “I said I’ve been busy so forgive me if I can’t give you attention all the time. Not all of us are as clingy as you” You winced; it was your fault for pushing him to the edge like that. Nevertheless, you wouldn't give up. “ I just want you to say how you feel and what bothers you. I’d never look at you in a different light and you know that. You might want to be strong but it’s okay to show some sort of emotion, it doesn’t make you weak rather it makes you look like someone that acknowledges what is wrong and doesn’t try to ignore the problem or solve it on their own” you comforted him. As the words entered his ears, you could see the walls surrounding his heart crumbling. “It’s okay to ask for help or just to rant to someone. Even if we won’t be able to provide an immediate solution, it should help” you added taking a few steps forward and grabbing a hold of his hands. You squeezed them tightly.
“I...I’m just scared you’ll leave once you see the not so perfect side of me” he managed to say. “I will stay with you, why don’t we make the best of everything without worrying about the future?” you asked while smiling. He returned it and pulled you in for a hug. “Thank you, truly,” he said and you smiled under his embrace.
After a few minutes you spoke up, “Oh yeah, Niki?” you called his attention and he hummed in response. “Don’t ever shout at me like that again, I can deck you and you know it” you said.
“Got it, boss. Sorry for being a jerk”
June 2020
You usually went on diets and exercised a lot but you were losing weight at an extreme rate and you weren’t even on a diet. Niki was worried but you brushed it off telling him it was stress from school but it got worse. You found it difficult for you to balance yourself, you felt nauseated, getting even more frequent headaches and being tired all the time so Niki decided that enough was enough and took you to the hospital. Neither of you had expected the result of the scans that were run.
“I’m sorry but there is a tumour in your brain,” the doctor said. The air left your lungs. “You can choose to get the surgery and live in the hospital for 8 months or live with the tumour for 3 months” he continued. You thanked him and left the hospital. The elephant in the room was very much alive and neither one of you wanted to address it. Did you want to stay in the hospital for the rest of your life or did you want to say with your loved ones? You thought that they would go through and that won’t be worth it.
“Niki” you called out.
He looked at you with a sad smile and just pulled you in for a hug, careful not to hurt you. “Do you want to tell your parents?” You nodded. You couldn’t just leave without saying anything. Picking your jacket, Niki drove you to your parents house.
“I just wanted you guys to know, I couldn’t just leave without saying anything,” you said with your eyes cast downwards. You couldn’t bear to look at your mom who was already crying or your dad who was blaming himself even when it wasn’t his fault or your sister who was basically your best friend. Niki had given you guys privacy but you knew it was just an excuse for him to be with his own feelings.
“I’m going to stay close to home in the meantime so I can be closer to you guys,” you said. Your eyes were already becoming glossy with tears. You inched towards your mom, taking her hand in yours and said, “You did an amazing job of being my mom and I love you so much”. Moving to your dad, you said “You did a good job of protecting me so don’t think otherwise. Let’s make all the memories we want to now without any regrets”. At that, your sister burst into tears “I… I can’t bear to lose you” Your heart clenched. “I can’t bear to lose you too” She continued crying. Your mom wiped her eyes and said, “From today, live the way you want to. Eat what you want and do what you want.” From the corner of my eye, I saw Niki staring watching the whole scene. After an hour, I stood up and went home with Niki. The car ride was a long and awkward one. When we got home, we just slept hugging each other.
Starting tomorrow I was going to live.
July 2020
The pain is getting worse but the smiles on my family and friends faces are enough to keep me going. I wrote letters and got gifts for them. Niki looks at the calendar every day, I can’t tell him to stop because I can tell he’s hurting so much. Why can’t I just be okay for everyone?
August 2020
The time comes faster, Niki and I went on a getaway for a few days. He deserved a break from everything that has been going on.
September 2020
I never thought I'd die as silly as that sounds. I asked my parents and sister to leave when I got to the hospital. Niki refused to leave and stayed there till I took in my last breath. He kept crying begging me not to go and how he’d do anything.
“Does it hurt a lot?” he asked between sniffles
“No it doesn’t, it just feels like a needle” it hurt like a truck.
“Liar”
I chuckled and held his hand till I couldn’t anymore. “I love you’’ I say as the lights fade.
╔═*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*═╗
Dear Nishimura Riki,
When you see this, it means I’m already gone. First of all, don’t beat yourself up too much. I could write for ages about how much I love you but now that I need to, my mind goes blank. You’ve done so well for putting up with me, hats off to you. You might not want to but move on, even though id like you to remember me; let your heart heal and be happy.
Take care of yourself and don’t skip any meals. Eat well and be happy, make sure you visit the places we never got to visit and enjoy yourself. Live life the way you want it every day. Be nice to people and smile more.
Thank you for all the happy memories, my love, I’ll be forever grateful for you. You made my life colourful and worth living.
Love isn’t beautiful but with you it was.
Yours truly,
Y/N.

My mcu favs w/ crush and relationship hcs (pt 2) (not proof read)
Tumblr media
- gonna be honest she’s not familiar with romantic feelings, takes her awhile to even realize what she feels for you
- you make her heart all melty and soft, you make her face heat up, you make her question everything she does
- you make her feel even giddy and overly happy and it kinda annoys her tbh
- she thinks you’re out to get her or something and have casted some spell but when she asks thor he has no idea what she’s talking about until she describes what she’s feeling and he just laughs and thinks she’s joking
- she’s like no. I’m serious ?
- to which thor would tell her what it is, he has a bit of an idea because of Jane
- tbh loving somebody romantically, caring about somebody to this extent scares her
- she’s lost so many people and because of it became a raging alcoholic
- if she lost you she doesn’t know what could happen
- she tries to push you away but quickly realizes she doesn’t like doing that to herself or you
- asks you to go out drinking with her often if you’re up for that
- she’d find it funny how easily you get drunk but has no problem taking care of you, in fact she would probably drink with you more often so she can take care of you because it’s the closest to intimacy she feels she can have with you (no she is not taking advantage of you or anything, it’s more just the thought of taking care of you feels intimate to her)
- also you’re cute while you’re drunk
- trans with you so you can be tougher if you’re not that tough already
- tbh asks thor to do the same with you, whether it be cuz she’s not around or because you need the extra training
- eventually Thor’s at the point where he’s like you gotta tell em and she’s like no 🖕
- but she does eventually
- she’s kinda awkward about it but she tries to sound confident with it ^^
- dating you is very different than just being her friend tbh
- like you might’ve been surprised at her asking you out, even if it’s kinda obvious to anybody that knows her well
- to any stranger you just seemed like friends with a strange rivalry relationship but that’s really not the case
- she’s much more flirty in a relationship, since she’s confident you’re with her for a reason.. she’s not the type to doubt your relationship, you’re with her for a reason
- much more protective in battle though
- she doesn’t say she loves you enough, but she shows it through her actions
- asks thor about the romantic stuff but he has no idea really so she goes to Bruce who kinda has more of a grasp on it
- tries to take you to like normal restaurant dates... kinda awkward since she had no midgardian clothes at that point
- lotsa quick kisses on the cheek or forehead
- likes cuddling as she finds it just.. kinda intimate ?
- still likes to take care of a drunk you
- quick pecks on your lips are very often
- doesn’t like the idea of going on a lot of Thor’s saving the world shits unless you’re on board with it
- thor jokes about how she’s all badass and “I don’t give a fuck about saving the world or anyone else” until it comes to you
- she kicks his ass
- but he’s not wrong
Tumblr media
- when she likes you she’s a bit like wtf
- like she doesn’t realize it for a moment until jane explains it
- before she was her usual talkative self but there was a lot of nervousness and stuttering at times, just unusual awkwardness that made Jane raise a brow
- it makes more sense now
- since she’s aware she likes you now she often asks you to hang out, to help her out, whatever it is
- the gal is clingy af what can she say
- lotsa hugs she loves giving you hugs often does them for a greeting
- just an excuse to hold you though tbh
- at times will get tongue tied
- she tries to flirt but it just makes you confused she’s not good at it you’re not even gonna know she’s flirting
- eventually grows impatient about it and is just like “I LIKE U DUMMY! DATE ME!”
- and now you date
- she gets into things a bit quickly so if it’s too fast tell her, hopefully not a dealbreaker
- dates are often because she’s got a lot of creative ideas for dates ^^
- still hugs you as a greeting but a lot longer and intimate and a kiss follows after
- speaking of kisses she LOVES to kiss you and she does so very often
- very needy
- big cuddler
- just like “CUDDLE ME”
- so demanding
- often talks about you and how much she loves you she can’t help it
- but if anybody did the same she like “shut up nobody cares”
- even with you though she’s blunt, but much nicer about it
- likes going on just good dates, restaurants , picnic, whatever
- she eats all the food
- tries to impress you so she might say she was best friends with thor at a point
- and that she’s helped him out before and .. yeah etc
- she likes buying you clothes tbh
- especially if you don’t dress good let her dress you up pls
- would be sad if you didn’t get along with Jane
- it would be a dealbreaker actually
- she knows she’s a bit much so she feels happy you love her anyways
Tumblr media
- vision of course will not understand his feelings
- he understands you definitely make him feel something, that something being good
- for a moment he might think he feels like this is how best friends feel towards another, or even thinking he sees you in a familial light
- tony quickly tells him that is not the case
- once vision understands what he really feels he’s not sure how to go about it, he can be quite oblivious
- he’s aware of this but still .. what does he do?
- asks tony for advice, he tells him to flirt and see how it goes
- but tbh that doesn’t work, you don’t even realize he’s flirting gonna be honest
- he’s just bad at it
- so he tries to just simply state his affection, that doesn’t work because he doesn’t know how to word it without it sounding platonic, or getting too nervous about going too far
- he doesn’t wanna overstep boundaries
- tony is in pain watching this btw
- tony eventually is just like “he wants to know if you would like to go on a date” “w- I.. yes?”
- in a relationship he is very sweet
- kinda cliche though, since he doesn’t have a concept of romance at all
- looks up a lot of the things he should know about romance he doesn’t want to ask you that
- while he has no problem protecting you, he doesn’t feel the need to be overly protective unless needed
- he’s logical, reasonable, he only gets protective if he has to, even with how he feels towards you
- but do you distract him? Yes absolutely
- he’s okay with living comfortably and normally for once with you, unless it’s something you don’t want or are not ready for
- once you’re conditioned to a certain lifestyle, even if it isn’t a good one it can be uncomfortable to get out of and he understands that
- he loves to kiss you, often initiates kisses or forms of affection
- you were the first to kiss him, it made him so flustered but so happy and now he’s addicted to kissing you
- loves kissing your hands
- if you have any insecurity he will do anything in his power to prove you wrong and that he doesn’t see you in that light
- he understands he has responsibilities but other than that, loves spending his time with you
- he understands you’re a distraction so he tries not to fight with you, he wants to prioritize the people when it comes to this kinda thing
- which you of course understand
- once you teach him what dancing is, his love language is dancing with you
- you two just stay up talking about nothing and everything
- having kids with him isn’t an option, but he isn’t opposed to adopting children
- after all, all he’s ever wanted was to be a normal significant other to you
Tumblr media
- do not have a huge concept on her character so forgive me 🙏
- she can be a bit flirty, not that you mind though right ?
- she just loves spending all her time with you
- probably met you before wandavision
- so you’re probably already together
- even then in wandavision you two were “roommates”
- doesn’t explain all the flirting girl .
- agathas fall would be letting Wanda find out she had a soft spot for you my god
- while she’s all confidence and flirty in general, she’s a bit softer with you
- like she genuinely means the things she says when it comes to you
- eventually asks you to date her, you don’t have much room for dates outside of wandavision
- you two are always together btw
- loves dancing with you
- she has a good grasp on romance so she has no issue with it
- she is full of confidence when it comes down to it tbh
- holds your hand often
- your relationship ain’t official till like the 70s probably
- might joke after wanda has kids that you both should have kids too
- while she’s causing her mischief you back her up to make her look less suspicious
- seriously in the mist of all this she’s grateful for you
- especially when you get her out of the hell that Wanda puts her in once again
- to which she will actually confess she loves you, and cares for you
- you aren’t just like.. some person to date
- she’s not the most vulnerable obviously
- so the fact she finally is.. it’s just a lot
- “idk I just love u a lot hun . Cant I show I love u 😊”
- she’s just so overly sweet with you
- she’s so awful to everyone else at times that she just likes being .. with you and being a softie
- likes you playing with her hair
- she loves a good cuddle
- cute nicknames like hon, or hun, or just teddy bear
Tumblr media
- with a crush quill might try to act overly friendly
- and probably flirts a lot
- he’s very like obvious with the flirting so you’d have to be oblivious not to notice it
- he can be quite protective as well
- like not just in fighting but even with just others like even before dating he’s very jealous
- if he makes a joke you’re always in on it somehow
- he tries for form a close bond with you just cuz he likes you so much
- it’s likely he likes somebody that can easily protect themselves doe
- probably has some dumb handshake with you
- honestly he acts like a close friend to you
- people might mistake you for a sibling like relationship if it weren’t for his flirting and him staring at you like you’re his entire universe
- seriously Sam says Bucky has a staring problem, quill is fucking awful
- it’s constant and rocket is always like “you’re staring”
- and he’s like “nO” and then continues to stare
- has you listen to his favorite music of course
- especially the love songs ;D
- will just dance with you to the music he puts on
- one time you guys are dancing to the music he put on like normal but it’s a slow love song, so hes like let’s so dance bae
- and then he tells you how he feels for u
- now u date <3
- lots of forehead kisses
- cuddle bug absolutely
- still a jealous boyfriend though tbh he will try to seem all tough in front of any man he thinks might be better or something he will do anything to show off
- your relationship doesn’t change just lots of kisses and hugs now and I love yous
- you’re totally the relationship that’s like “I love you more” “nooo I love you more” and the guardians hate y’all so much
- he uses nicknames like hun, honey, love, sweetheart
- let’s just say you slow dance more often, and kiss while doing so ^^
- he flirts with you still but it’s a lot more sweet rather than before where he might’ve just flirted with you in terms of like it being kinda like calling you sexy and shit like that, now it’s more like wow u look beautiful I luv u 😊🙏
- would do anything for you, even if he wouldn’t like it
- doesn’t mean he wouldn’t hesitate tho
- going on separate dates isn’t really an option since you guys fight left and right and are always with the guardians, but he decided every once a couple months you guys go on a date together and have some fun
Tumblr media
- Loki doesn’t get crushes, so this is a new thing for him
- and tbh he doesn’t know how to take it either, especially when he realizes how strong those feelings actually are
- he hates the idea of being vulnerable in general, especially when it comes to you
- over time it just... happens
- but if there’s any indication he likes spending time with you he will try to lie his way through it, he’s a good liar of course so it probably works
- however he shows he at the very least cares about you, he shows a sign of protectiveness when it comes to potential enemies.. enemies that happen to be dangerous for you
- plus he’s around you like constantly and claims he has nobody else to harass
- he claims he doesn’t care about you at all, but even thor can tell through this lie
- the way he looks at you makes it obvious
- the way he doesn’t try to get you involved in his more dangerous schemes
- and if you do, and you get hurt he feels guilty and tries to help you feel better
- he claims he just owes you one for getting you hurt though
- eventually thor bothers him enough to get him to confess feelings, which takes a lot for Loki to even go through with
- he acts confident, even moreso after you say yes, but deep down was extremely nervous
- the male is good at making you feel important, after trying so hard to hide his feelings he is tired of it and just wants to be more honest about how he feels about you
- no issue being vulnerable, he trusts you but sometimes it can be hard
- he goes to you for a lot of his problems, even if you cannot help, just venting and you listening helps
- he was already with you a lot but now there’s no excuses and it’s even moreso
- “what? I just wanted to visit my beautiful s/o” “we literally just saw eachother 5 minutes ago can I please go to bed”
- likes pressing your foreheads together, he finds it sweet
- jealous of thor? Absolutely. Pls comfort him and tell him you’d never leave him for thor
- he’s so used to just not being as good as him, he wants to be good enough for you
- deep down there’s just so many insecurities he has
- so it causes him to worry like all the time
- having a reassuring and patient s/o is so good for him ^^
- flirting becomes a thing in your relationship
- it makes him feel more confident pls give him this
- protective, he feels like he has to be tbh because he never gets anything good in his life and if he does he loses it, he’s scared to lose you too
- if for some reason he can’t see you he makes an illusion of you to talk to
- when he fake dies you’re the first he goes to see so you don’t think he’s dead, he loves you he wouldn’t want to do that to you =(
Tumblr media

- gonna be honest bucky with a crush is cute
- first of all he smiles at you a lot, Steve is the first to notice how much he smiles around you, it’s the most he smiles like ever
- just has a lot of nice conversations with you about anything and everything
- also whenever you’re around even if other people are around you he’s just like “hey y/n :)”
- heart eyes for you, just can’t help but stare all the time
- he has a staring problem but with you? Yeah 10x over
- Sam always has something to say abt it also
- his idea of flirting with you is really just saying hi to you, just being overly friendly which is noticeable for a guy like Bucky
- eventually would ask you out, he tries to ease into it but he gets a bit impatient
- he was also nervous asking you out but yk
- when dating him he becomes very protective
- one of the most protective bitches on the list tbh
- he gets nightmares about you dying like all the time it breaks him everytime though
- lots of cuddles, whether it be from a rough day, he’s just tired, or had a nightmare
- he likes his hair being brushed by you and played with, even when he cuts it
- he’s scared of killing you and turning into the winter soldier again
- has dreams about when he’s hurt and fought you as the winter soldier, he keeps thinking about if Steve wasn’t there to help, he really could’ve killed you and that terrifies him
- even when you tell him it wasn’t him, he appreciates it but still feels horrible about it
- touch that metal arm, but like gently Yknow . Nobody’s ever touched that arm with such kindness and it makes him soft and feel lucky
- speaking of soft Bucky is very soft, there’s many soft moments with Bucky and vulnerability
- it’s easy to be vulnerable with you but not others
- lots of handholding
- he loves hugging you for long periods of time
- still has a staring problem but now Sam openly makes fun of him
- just big dumb smile on his face as he looks at you
- especially when you’re dealing with kids, seeing you be around them makes his heart warm
- maybe he does wanna be normal, settle down and have kids
- though the thought scares him it is something he desires
- we all know he calls you doll

my humble and for legal reasons sarcastic opinion of the characterization i’ve seen:
the prevailing sangihun dynamic is FALSE. uwu-ified choccy milk babygirl gihun with a moral line he’ll never cross ✨ DOES NOT EXIST. cold-blooded olympic athlete at black friday sales sangwoo with 2 alternating expressions (1.fuck, 2.off) DOES NOT EXIST.
mind that i project needlessly onto my favorite characters, and therefore may understand a fraction of the thoughts running through sangwoo’s head as my mans was slowly rotting alive in his own bathroom. which is to SAY the gifted kid’s fall from grace and the crushing pressure to meet expectations or greet your lifelong friend: Guilt hits a little bit close to home. in this Very critical essay, i’ll share what that’s like. please be warned that it’s heavy stuff (wait, this was supposed to be sarcasm-)
firstly, some screw-ups like us DO end up resorting to extremes to keep up with expectations. the logic is simple: even if it’s a lie, it’s just our weight to bear, isn’t it? often it’s these honor roll kids that are good at cheating, fibbing, and workarounds that carefully maintain the high standard imposed on them since childhood. do we feel AWFUL about it? does it wreak havoc on our mental health and in the long term pose some dangerous self esteem and integrity issues that cause us to spiral even more and damage our relationships…? WELL LEMME TELL YA, I SURE AS HECJK HOPE NOT but sangwoo’s clearly jumped from point A to point Z in that alphabet. he’s VERY much at a stage of misery that would take years to undo by the time of the show.
Tumblr media
point is… you’ll notice (especially if you’re One Of Us) that we don’t do this because we stopped caring. often it’s the opposite, that we care a whole stupid lot. a divide starts between the you that deserves love and good things and the you that’s fallen so behind that any harm to them at the expense of loved ones’ pride and the community’s respect is an inconsequential and near masochist price to pay. (self-care also tends to decline, but south korean society is big on the importance of the physical face, so a businessman like sangwoo is understandably well kempt for other reasons.)
to me, pathological liar cho sangwoo hides agony and self-hatred. after every instance in which he’s chosen self-preservation, he ends up choosing his mother’s health and happiness over his own life. his mindset of wiping his worthless self from the equation so something better will replace him is DAMN FOLLY, I SAY!!!! sangwoo doesn’t redeem himself in the finale, he shatters. he thought it was the right choice to rob a mother of her son. what does life have to do to someone to think that? why does it scare me a lot that i’m starting to get an idea…?
what i’m SAYING is that the extremes sangwoo takes in the games are easily a continuity of lying about his residence in america, of siphoning the wealth of others to toss up and lose six billion and somehow never think to try something else. he’s a sick fuck with an attitude, but the Prodigy Turned Asswipe At Rock Bottom trajectory follows REALLY REALLY WELL here. therefore it’s my idea of how he ended up as the guy we see in S1. and you know what that asswipe needs??
A HUG!!!! REAL THERAPY!! and for GIHUN, seemingly the only person he trusts to accept him when he’s completely lost face, to PROVIDE love and support. to let him be weak and tender and NOT. NOT. NOT the callous bastard that came this 🤏 close to total desensitization to violence. imo THIS is the true sangihun dynamic!! one that doesn’t have any coping mechanism attached to it whatsoever!! this version sparks JOY!!! the possessive, domineering, and enigmatic stone face act that fandom interpretations give to a long-term depressed and isolated man doesn’t appeal to me tbh. he shows signs and hints of the altruistic and almost gentle person he can really be (with proper guidance…!)
his name means “helping each other” and while it was chosen to emphasize his contradictions.. maybe it could be a sign? i’ll take more of that sweet sangwoo please <3 my shriveled grinch heart needs it <3 <3 but that’s all i’ll say about that!! to each their own!!!
Tumblr media
NOW. GIHUN.
YA’LL. THIS MAN……………..

A LITERAL WALKING RED FLAG??? how did so many shippers miss it COMPLETELY??
ignoring my additional lengthy history with deadbeat dads with an addiction (well, except for the extent to which it colors my opinions here, if you will 🥸) … gihun’s an alright dude at first glance. but the rift between his personality and the violence he encounters is just…. astounding? and deeply troubling, seeing as he’s joking about military ranks like this is a discord RP server after the first round. ahem. the exceedingly ruthless and gruesome first round?? the only other characters we see enjoying themselves to this extent are deok su and his pack - but there’s gang violence history there, so it tracks. but GI HUN??? (funny that his name means “high ranking”)
and not to mention the raging hot topic that was the very last scene. turns his back on the airplane terminal a few STEPS from boarding and JUST AFTER calling his daughter…. for the sake of revenge? for some righteous cause that borders on delusions of grandeur??
well. actually… i think my sangihun agenda can explain that one. which is where my idea of their dynamic from gihun’s POV takes form. (still keeping in mind that these are all opinions! thank you kindly)
gihun’s had experience with the almost primal violence in the lights-out section of the games. he tells ilnam about the protest that happened when he and his coworkers were laid off, where he watched a friend die. when this repeats with allies like saebyeok and most critically with sangwoo, he pretty visibly shuts down. a whole year passes before ilnam’s fucky wucky doctrine and the sight of salesmen recruiting new players shakes him out of it. so there’s already two reasons to be roused to Battinson levels of vengeance, but…? enough to leave gayeong?
enter: the darker implications of gihun coming to a stop just before winning the games. turning back and reaching for sangwoo’s hand. what choices is he making here, and how are they layered? he’s choosing survival, you’d say - he values life over monetary gain, and that’s noble. but… what about his mother’s life? her treatment?
in his last moments, sangwoo’s ultimate motivation is reparations. his purpose for competing was to right his wrongs, namely the years he’s spent deceiving his mother. he feels I’m Human Garbage tier remorse, and this was discussed earlier - in no way does jamming a knife into his neck help the woman he cares about the most! … but it doesn’t negate that his last act was, in his mind, selfless. gihun’s appears to be, too. UNTIL you read it as effectively putting sangwoo’s life above his own mother’s, his own daughter’s love for him, and even his ex-wife’s lack of financial independence.
in the last moments of the game, he chooses sangwoo. his safety is his only motivation - there’s a broken man laying at his feet, wishing they were kids again, and you can see the sorrow and pity in gihun taking over. when that choice gets turned on its head in a few fatal seconds, you can also see his radicalization finish as early as That Scene.

here’s what i mean.
he’s constantly putting sangwoo on a pedestal. i don’t even have to explain - we’ve seen the memes. i’ve become the meme just to annoy my friends. Did you hear? HUH? You don’t know about the SNU genius??!! … it was adorable and all too sobering to watch. but the answer. Is. Right. There!!! he’s a gambling addict doing irregular small jobs, debt-ridden and divorced, on the brink of losing everything else - of course cho sangwoo, the best of the best, the shining example of discipline and achievement, would give him hope? of course it isn’t possible for life to screw over someone so deserving of the most it has to offer? of course sangwoo’s going to be okay, and at least he’ll have him to lean on?
WROMG, SIR. he watches in real time as the system they’ve both become trapped in grinds up the last of sangwoo’s will to go on. he sees the fate of someone who really, truly had it all going for him, and when you’re witness to a death like that - the “long line of Buddhists” in your family may as well end right there. and i saw exactly that in gihun.
which is to say….. S2 gihun, at least to me, sounds like a scary mf. god knows about that hair but, thinking of where he’s coming from, i see a flipped sangihun dynamic (in life or in death, take your pick) as the True Gospel. intensely protective gihun who won’t let sangwoo go off the deep end again, who does everything in his power to get him help and bring his walls down, or in worse cases, avenge the heck out of him. sangwoo smoothing the furious edge in gihun so he doesn’t go off doing a Stupid when his family is perfectly intact and needs him. sangwoo being quicker to embrace normalcy and showing him what to be grateful for. this is just the park i’m in!
i see gihun as the rowdy, bloody-nosed fight-picking kid in their youth. i see sangwoo as the occasional extra pair of fists, but mostly the quiet, nose-in-books boy who was terrible at making friends and content with just the one. and they’re currently my everything :))))))
pls ❤️ ask me for sangihun thoughts if you want to, i will dust off my bible. xoxox
