I love your Sightshipping HCs! I have to say, I've never really thought about it before, but it's a pretty interesting ship. ^-^

What about Joey for 002?

Always happy to have an excuse to spread some Sightshipping headcanons around :D

Onwards to the character ask!

Joey

How I feel about this character: I really do like him and think he's complex character. This guy is a true "ride or die" friend, yet he's played often as comic relief among the main cast, and he also gets treated like a punching bag throughout the series despite the hard work, effort, and integrity he puts into everything he does.

Holy shit, the wringer this poor guy went through during Battle City and Alcatraz, then for Mai to fixate on him and blame him for her troubles during Doma because... he can't read her mind halfway across the world and help her?? Yes, we can place some blame on Dartz and the Orichalcos stone for twisting her mind, but there wouldn't have been something to be twisted in the first place if Mai didn't have some sort of grudge towards him. I'm not downplaying Mai's trauma by any means and have many of my own thoughts on her Doma era and the PTSD that was inflicted by Malik, but I don't think it was very fair of her to put all of this resentment and expectation on a 16/17 year old boy who by all means considered her his friend and would have done, and did do, everything he could to help her once he realized how badly she'd been affected by the whole ordeal.

Then everyone (not just Seto!) proceeds to take a shit on him during the Grand Prix arc, like he didn't also help save the world for the third or fourth time in the previous season?? Come on!

I know he started out as Yuugi's bully and antagonized him, but he's long since paid his penance and he deserves more respect.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: I'm an old-timey Polarshipper, though I vastly prefer this ship when Jounouchi has some more life experience under his belt as an adult and can approach Mai from that growth and life experience.

Wishshipping is cute, and I also like Buddyshipping. I'm a sucker for friends to lovers sometimes.

Can't remember the ship name for Rishid/Joey but I like that as both romantic and/or platonic friendship.

I also like Puppy/Violetshipping, because I am also a sucker for enemies to lovers. Or just enemies to enemies who fu

My non-romantic OTP for this character: I bro-ship him with Vivian Wong. I know it makes no sense but hear me out

They're both athletic jocks who are hot tempered and are wholly capable of throwing hands and holding their own if a fight were to break out in a bar. They'd be right at home in a John Woo flick.

And I ship them both with Mai so they can bond over their impeccable taste in the same woman.

My unpopular opinion about this character: I just said I polyship Joey/Mai/Vivian. That's about as unpopular of an opinion as it gets.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: A whole episode where he gets separated from his group during the Ancient Egypt arc and meets a woman with red eyes that turns out to be the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, but she's more well adjusted and has a sense of humor compared to Kisara. She's aware of the stuff going on, but she actively makes an effort not to get involved because who wants to deal with that? But she ends up getting dragged into world altering situations anyhow because sometimes life just be like that and you gotta roll with the punches. Amiright?

my OTP: *points to everything above*

my cross over ship: He would totally fawn over Kumiko Yamaguchi from Gokusen.

He would also fear her, immensely.

a headcanon fact: He still likes to dress up as Marylin Monroe when he's by himself.

He would like to get a gig singing covers of his favorite songs at a classy night club in a sparkling sequin dress, but he's low-key haunted by the poor reception he received from the popularity contest in high school and talks himself out of it every time the thought crosses his mind.

i think alterhuman au roman and virgil have the specialest little dynamic. like yeah they squabble like siblings and sometimes wanna strangle each other (roommates amiright /j /silly) but also they have a connection unlike any other. like. they know each others darkest secrets and they’d still defend each other to the death. platonically of course. if you mess with one of them, the other will fuck you up, even if they were just at each other’s throats. i love them <3

@cinn-a-mom here’s my part of the trade!! I hope you enjoy it!! (And thank you again for that beautiful Letter to the Refuge animatic!)

Broken Pieces

“Hairstripe! Hurry up, you slow poke!”

Hugo runs through Old Corona village, Varian trailing behind him carrying as much glassware as he possible can.

He tediously walks, one step at a time, trying his hardest not to drop any.

“Well...may-maybe you could give me a hand instead of, you know, yelling at me!” The glassware pile says from behind Hugo.

Oh wait, that’s Varian.

The beakers and vials begin to teeter over in the alchemist’s hands and almost hit the ground before Hugo swoops in and grabs half of the pile.

“Oh. There you are Hairstripe! You’re so short I couldn’t even see you behind all this stuff!” Hugo jokes with a smug smile.

Varian rolls his eyes, “Shut up, heh.”

He looks at the situation they had gotten themselves into with a small frown.

“Heh. Note to self...next-next time we definitely have to bring dad’s wheelbarrow when we buy glassware, heh.”

He almost drops a vial but steadies himself and continues walking.

“Yeah, no kidding. Though we wouldn’t need so much if someone didn’t blow everything up every two minutes,” Hugo remarks snidely.

“Hey! The last time was with your compound!” Varian fires back.

Hugo opens his mouth briefly, but remembers Varian is indeed correct.

“Touché...” he grumbles.

The two continue walking until they finally pass the marketplace. It’s only a couple more blocks to their house. They can make it without breaking any beakers, right?

Suddenly, a loud crash resulting from a broken flask causes Varian to whip his head around to face Hugo.

“Heh, now who’s-“

The alchemist immediately cuts himself off when he sees the boys’ biggest nemeses walking towards them: Hunter and Curtis.

Hunter is taller than Varian, but a lot shorter than Hugo. His brunette bangs swoop in front of his eyes on the left side of his face, covering one of his hazel eyes. Hunter’s father is a close friend of Quirin, and Varian has known the boy since they were kids. Only recently did he team up with Curtis when Varian exploded the town yet again. Curtis, a fiery red-head with a temper to match acts as the brains of the team while Hunter acts as the brawn. The two have been tormenting the brothers for about a month now, practically every time they leave the house.

“Right on cue...” Hugo whispers as he kicks away the glass.

Hunter is the cause of broken flask, and he stands there blocking the Hugo’s path along with his partner in crime.

“If it isn’t the Old Corona Menace and his assistant...” Curtis mocks, moving to block Varian’s path directly.

Hugo isn’t one for conflict, but he doesn’t like anyone insulting Varian either. And he especially hates that nickname that the village generously bestowed on his brother. He’d gladly take the fall for that one. He shakily delivers a snide comment.

“Oh, come-come on, fellas! You really need to step up your game on the insulting nicknames! I mean, Hairstripe may not look like much at first glance but he’s no assistant-“

Hunter laughs cynically and steps closer to Hugo. The brunette boy is significantly shorter than the blond, but he still intimidates Hugo enough to make him back up.

“You’re the assistant.”

Hugo stiffens slightly and gulps as Hunter gives him a shove, shaking him up and causing another test tube to crash to the ground.

Varian narrows his eyes at Hunter and grits his teeth. He’s heard the “Old Corona Menace” nickname multiple times before. He deserves it, but Hugo? Hugo should be allowed to have a better reputation.

“Sorry, what-what did you say to him?” Varian asks slowly.

Hunter starts to walk away from Hugo but Curtis stops him, enclosing in further on Varian.

“You heard him. That weakling orphan you call a ‘brother’ is just adding to our problem.”

“Yeah and that’s you Vari-jerk!” Hunter speaks up.

Hugo rolls his eyes and scoffs.

“Oh come on, that’s not even clever,” he voices under his breath.

“Shut it, Huge-o!” Hunter yells, trying to regain his ego.

Hugo resists the urge to roll his eyes again in fear of being beat up. Hunter may be shorter than him, but he and Curtis together can do a lot of damage. Especially considering the heaps of fragile and dangerous glassware that the alchemists were carrying.

“Listen, guys, we have a lot on our hands right now, literally,” Hugo puns. “So, maybe we can move our weekly bullying session over a day?”

He starts sweating nervously and backs up more when Hunter smirks at him, drawing even closer than before.

“Uh, or-or a month?”

A cynical laugh on Varian’s side causes Hugo to shift his focus away from Hunter.

“No this is a great time,” Curtis replies mockingly as he snatches up one of the flasks on top of Varian’s pile.

“Heh, uh, please don’t touch that...” Varian asks, trying to bottle up and distract from the anger he feels.

Curtis looks it over and tosses it back in forth in his hands.

“What is this anyway? Some kind of jar for your magical spells?”

Varian corrects him, just like he does everyone else. Even if this time it’s a little more strained.

“Heh..technically it’s not magic, it’s alchemy, and-and that’s actually a-“

Curtis drops the flask on the ground before Varian can finish, and it shatters into a million pieces.

“Ugh you’re such a nerd. Both of you. Let me let you in on something: no one cares about your sorcery-“

“Alchemy.” Hugo speaks up under his breath, but unfortunately Hunter hears him. He rolls up his sleeve, jumps up, and punches Hugo straight in the face.

The blow is so unexpected and so forceful that it causes him to stagger back. He drops all the glassware and it shatters around his feet. Hugo holds his injured cheek which most likely contains a bruise.

“Just another one for the collection...” he whispers, trying to stay strong.

“Maybe that’ll teach you to keep your mouth shut, Huge-o. You should have just stayed an orphan. You’re more of a nothing now than you were before.”

Hugo tries to keep in his tears, but Curtis’s words cut deep. He simply looks up at the boy with hurt and angry eyes.

“Awe. You gonna cry?” Hunter taunts, glancing kicking some of the glass in Hugo’s direction.

Varian stays silent through this whole exchange...but livid. His eye begins to twitch as his grip on the glassware tightens, causing some of the beakers he’s holding start to crack from the pressure.

“Whatever you call it, we’re tired of you morons blowing up our town! And if we get all your magic stuff out of the way...” Hunter moves over to Varian and grabs two test tubes from his pile, smashing them both to the ground.

Curtis crosses over to Hugo who’s still holding his injured cheek. The red-head threateningly stalks closer and hits the inside of his hand with his fist.

Varian can’t hold it in anymore and he throws down all of the glassware he’s holding. The sound of the glass shattering causes both bullies to stare straight at him.

“Don’t you dare touch my brother again,” he warns between gritted teeth.

Curtis and Hunter glance at each other nervously for a moment. After all, this is the kid who blew up their entire village only a month prior. Both of their houses were damaged in the explosion. There’s no telling what the “dangerous wizard” could do to them.

“Hairstripe, don’t-“

The desperation in Hugo’s voice seems to push Curtis on, even though he’s still wary of Varian.

“Wha-what are you gonna do? Explode us?” Curtis asks with a nervous laugh.

His comment gives Varian an idea and he readies a smoke bomb from his pocket.

He glances to Hugo behind him and backs up.

“Come on, Vari-jerk! Show us what you got!” Hunter chimes in.

Curtis shoots him a look. As far as they knew, Varian could kill them if they weren’t careful. However, this doesn’t stop the bullies from cornering the alchemy brothers anyway, their fists dangerously close to the alchemists’ faces.

At the last second, Varian gives Hugo a short nod and throws his purple smoke bomb on the ground. Before it hits, the brothers sprint away as fast as they can, leaving their attackers coughing and surrounded in smoke.

The two run all the way back to their house, stopping right outside of the farm to catch their breaths.

“Varian...the glassware-“

The alchemist cuts him off, still angry at the bullies.

“Hugo, I could care less about the glassware. We can buy more...eventually...”

He trails off, knowing it won’t be any time soon. They were in danger every time they left their house. He sighs and continues voicing his grievances.

“But Curtis and Hunter have-have been tormenting us for too long. I couldn’t just stand there and do nothing!”

Hugo rubs his cheek, his fingers hitting an old bruise next to his fresh one. Varian sees him wince in pain, and furrows his own eyebrows.

“We-we’re telling dad what happened.” He states matter-of-factly as he marches towards the house. “He’s the village leader, for Demanitus sake! He-he can do something-“

Hugo catches up with Varian and stands in front of him. The last thing he wants right now is to cause more problems for his family...

“No, Hairstripe. I’ll just say it was another acid burn...if he asks.”

“But Hugo-“

The blond calmly cuts him off again.

“There’s no reason to get them into more trouble. I mean we already destroyed their houses, which they won’t let us live down...”

Varian starts to raise his voice, not understanding why Hugo doesn’t agree with him on this.

“Hugo, that-that was my invention. You had nothing to do with it. But Hunter hit you! Twice in the last week! And the things Curtis said were...were inexcusable! Don’t-don’t you think they deserve some form of punishment?”

Hugo notes Varian’s tone; he sounds actually...angry. And when Varian was angry, the only smart thing to do is to listen. Hugo carefully considers his brother’s words. Even though Quirin adopted him years ago, it still feels weird to have people standing up for him. Almost as if he didn’t deserve it.

“Maybe...” he trails off.

But what would happen after the boys were punished? The bullying wouldn’t stop, that’s for sure. Everyone in the town already hates them. If Curtis and Hunter were taken down, there would surely be others to take their place, most likely targeting Varian. Hugo couldn’t take that chance. He could deal with a couple dumb bullies for his brother’s sake.

Hugo takes a breath and shrugs, standing up straighter to show he’s okay.

“But it’s just a bruise! Plus Hunter’s punches are wimpy anyway. Same with his nicknames,” the blond jokes.

Varian’s intense glare softens and he chuckles slightly.

“Yeah those nicknames are pretty dumb, heh. I mean ‘Huge-o?’ Really?”

Hugo smiles, glad that he successfully changed the subject.

“And ‘Vari-jerk?’ That’s Vari-insulting to many other Vari-interesting words that flow seamlessly with your name.”

Varian rolls his eyes but ends up laughing. He can always count on Hugo to cheer him up. Even if it’s with dumb puns. But that doesn’t erase that matter at hand.

“Are you sure, though? About keeping it a secret again?” The alchemist asks, hoping for a different response.

Hugo’s face falls, Varian isn’t going to let this go so easily, but he can still try to avoid the subject as long as possible.

“Yeah. I’m sure.” Hugo stays serious for a moment before his tone flips back to joking.

“Plus I’m sure you already scared them silly with that smoke bomb stunt.” He elbows Varian in camaraderie and the alchemist returns the gesture.

“Well they literally asked for it! And you can’t say they didn’t deserve it, heh.”

Hugo shrugs in agreement and the two walk a bit further to the door. Varian starts to walk in when Hugo stops him by putting a hand on his shoulder.

“Hairstripe...Varian. I don’t say this enough but...thank you for sticking up for me. It means a lot,” he tells his brother sincerely with a slight smile between the pain of his bruise.

Varian is slightly surprised at this out of the blue gratitude from Hugo, but smiles back and shrugs nonchalantly.

“Of course, Hugo. That’s what brothers are for, you know? We stick together,” he tells him, bumping him on the arm.

Hugo rolls his eyes but still maintains his smile. This is getting a bit too sappy for him, even though he secretly enjoys the affection. He tries to change the subject again.

“Ha, yeah. So much so that I’m apparently your ‘assistant.’”

He smirks, elbowing Varian again.

“I thought that was Cassie’s job!”

Varian immediately turns red and elbows Hugo.

“GAH! H-hey-shut up!” He retorts.

Their little episode at the expo is not one to forget. And Hugo will never let him live down the “Cassandrium” incident. Luckily, they both know he’s joking. Hugo’s comments aren’t painful or cutting like Curtis’s, just mildly annoying. But Varian wouldn’t change it for the world.

The two stand in an awkward silence for a while in front of the door, when Varian decides to go for it. He suddenly wraps Hugo in a hug, causing the taller boy to tense.

After the initial shock, Hugo’s wary at first, but he hugs him back. Like it or not, he really needs this.

“I-I just wanted to say, even though you’re adopted, I still love you as my real brother, Hugo,” Varian tells him genuinely. “Nothing is ever going to change that.”

Hugo blushes nervously, but the corners of his mouth start to turn up in a smile.

“I...uh...”

He sighs, and finally gives in to the “sappy” moment.

“I love you too, Hairstripe.”

And he means it. Their glassware might be broken, and even their reputation is shattered into pieces, but they have each other and that’s all that really matters.

[ghostietea]

Here's the thing. I don't think Akito at this point in the story even CAN know if she "love" loves Shigure, at least in a way that could lead to a healthy relationship.

All Akito's life, her view of love has revolved around the curse and possession. That's the way every single relationship up until this point has been formed... including her and Shigure's.... and I think she needs more time to understand what real, natural love means to her. To Akito, love was the zodiac. It was unconditional, inherent love that didn't have to be built. Scared of the unknown, she doesn't stray from these confines, and has no relationships outside her "bond." Of course Akito feels close to the zodiac, she was born to. Furthermore, there's possession, as in the zodiac but also in the toxic view of m/f relationships that Ren imparted on her. To Ren, relationships between men and women are always all or nothing, and women must fight to keep ahold of men... even in situations that wouldn't be romantic. You can see her reading this view of exclusivity even into the family dynamic between her, Akito, and Akira, treating Akito as a rival. It's this view that skews all m/f relationships, especially romantic and/or sexual ones, into a toxic form where a woman must possess men fully or lose them, and this has completely fucked Akito's view of relationships. We see this, of course, with Kureno. Neither love eachother romantically or are attracted to eachother but they play out this facade of something more because they believe that's how their relationship must be to hold onto what they want to preserve. To Akito, this is trying to preserve her possession of him through how her mother's worldview taught her: sex, the need to be something beyond platonic. And we see this same sexual power play over and over in her relationship with Shigure, who she fears she cannot keep ahold of, especially after the Ren incident. To Akito, this sort of relationship is power, it's possession. She's terrified of abandonment and believes she must own others, but especially men, or lose them, so she does what she "must" to keep control. It seems Takaya tried to pull some "but look she loved Shigure for real" thing but it just falls flat for me because Akito is falling back on the same old model. All throughout episode 12 Akito's talking about how she wants to keep ahold of Shigure, to possess him completely so he can't run away again. When she thinks he'll leave she even claws his face up, the first time we've seen this behavior from her in a couple episodes. And, in a way, it makes sense that she'd go for him. Shigure was a zodiac, someone Akito knew her whole life, someone she'd had relations with before. With a world falling down and everyone leaving.. if someone offers to stay it's easy, isn't it? When you can remember fond memories from childhood? When you can have someone to hold onto? Akito is just reframining the same possessiveness as before... screaming about him leaving, thinking of possessing him totally so he can't go. She's backsliding, tying love once again with possession. This isn't some feeling that she's newly able to discover it's the same old rodeo. Akito's made a lot of progress on her understanding of healthier platonic relationships which is why when she messes up in a romantic context and it's left unchallenged it feels so bad. Akito pulling this junk is wrong except for when Takaya wants that sweet endgame ship amiright folks?! Possessiveness from a person that is known to take it to violent extremes is fine in the context of an exclusive romantic relationship! Please, don't take this as some weird infantalization or idea that Akito inherently can't understand romantic love, that's not it. But I think her understanding of "love" in that way is so deeply entrenched with power, control, and fear of abandonment that I do not think she can untangle them yet. Regardless of what her feelings would actually turn out to be, I think Akito needs more time to figure out what love is outside of the context of the warped view the Sohma, and specifically Ren, gave her.

Sokka and/or Jet for the niche questions ask game!

Ok but both tho, starting with Sokka boy:

a song that reminds me of them: Warriors - Imagine Dragons

what they smell like: when he's not carrying jerky on his person somewhere--Sokka has a faint, underlying vanilla scent, but it's hard to notice unless you're looking for it.

an otp: Jetka and Yukka (I have a way trying to overturn tragedy for my boy)

a notp: I'm really...not a fan of tok/ka

favorite platonic/familial relationships: His relationship with Katara is an excellent example of a nuanced sibling dynamic, and I absolutely love his adorable best-friendship with Aang too.

a headcanon that is popular in the fandom but that i disagree with: That stupid Ambassador thing. Excuse you, but I don't feel the need to strip Sokka of his leadership role (easily the best leadership material in the gaang might I remind you) and stifle his potential for this, especially not the Fire Nation, that is terrible!

the position they sleep in: He subconsciously like being bundled up in something. Usually that's a sleeping bag when they're on the move, but another person works good for this too.

a crossover au i’d love to see them in: I've drawn multiple KH crossovers with him and I'm still more than a little partial to the idea tbh. It works well for Mr. "Heart of a Lion-Turtle."

my favorite outfit they’ve ever worn: Invasion armor! I mean c'mon, look at this gorgeous boy!

----------------------------------------------------

And Jet

a song that reminds me of them: Honestly, for real tho... The Sharpest Lives -MCR

what they smell like: spice and rain, sometimes he also smells of gunpowder, which is...suspicious.

an otp: Jetka supremacy amiright or amiright?

a notp: Jet/ko on the other hand, is trash.

favorite platonic/familial relationships: The Freedom Fighters as a whole, but especially Smellerbee and Longshot. They've got an interesting relationship and the fact that those two stuck with him after the others left strikes a chord.

a headcanon that is popular in the fandom but that i disagree with: People have this really vile idea of what he'd be like as a boyfriend and it makes me angrier than you would believe. I'm sure you can guess.

the position they sleep in: Messy. His position changes a lot, and he can bed down just about anywhere.

a crossover au i’d love to see them in: Same as Sokka's. I'd push them into this together using KH's Rule of Three. Also, it'd be a good way of showing that he still has a good heart at his core.

my favorite outfit they’ve ever worn: Maybe if he ever wore any other clothes! Fuck it, the Book 3 wear I designed for him, that's my favorite, I don't care if its a cop-out.

hi mom here's your platonic love letter

(can you tell i find myself too funny for my own good?)

Salutations, my esteemed birthgiver,

I would like to preface this letter by saying that I will be talking like an old british gentlemen and a toddler simultaneously, as I find myself amusing to an extent where it is not socially acceptable. But please, sit back, relax, and enjoy my incohesive rambling.

During the past week, I have been pondering words that I am fond of. Some I enjoy the way they feel on my tongue, like 'exsanguinate', and others I simply like the meaning of. For example, 'motherfucker', 'imbecile', or 'bitch'. I am exceptionally fond of the last one, as it has become a nickname of sorts that my friends call me when I am being particularly attention whore-y.

I would like to be a vampire, I think (minus the pale skin because I quite like my melanin, thank you). It would suit my current lifestyle very much, as I am already used to staying indoors 24/7 and lusting after blood. However, my fangs would be an issue, as even with the dull teeth I currently have, I have managed to bite my tongue countless of times and end up with grievous booboos.

I shall now express my fondness for your existence, mother. To put it frankly, I would tear the cover of my favourite book for you - which, if you couldn't tell, is something I would only do for a handful of people, most of whom are fictional. I would sail to the ends of the earth for you, even if I haven't a clue how to man a boat. I love you 3000. ngl even typing that made me sad cause holy fuck tony stark amiright

As much as it pains me to say, I am running out of bullshit to spew, and the one braincell I have left is about to collapse. After ending this letter, I have plans to recharge my brain by reading fanfiction and doing a whole bunch of nothing. What a lovely way to spend my night. I'm sure you'd agree. I'm ignoring the fact that reading fanfic and doing nothing is the only thing on my daily routine.

With much love,

Your demon child xx 🖤🖤

I AM IN TEARS I LOVE THIS SO MUCH VIG WTF????? pldjsjdjdjdd i don't deserve you BYE😭😭😭

#you'd be the smexiest vampire ever #i hope all your grevious booboos go away #pls ily #rae's asks<3 #vig<3

[allsassnoclass]

I would like a director's cut for Puzzle Pieces OR the lashton christmas present one you wrote for my prompt about what other gifts you had they do

well for the Christmas one (that was teacher!lashton, yeah?) I can tell you that I did not have a good time picking out the presents lol. I low-key hate choosing gifts for fics (I have a prompt from November that includes gift-giving that I still haven’t done yet for this reason).  I don’t consider myself a very good gift-giver, so figuring out what characters would give each other stresses me out.  In the end I couldn’t come up with a singular gift that would be expensive or meaningful for this Luke for a secret Santa, so instead I gave Ashton too much inspiration and let him choose multiple gifts.  I found half of them by googling good/meaningful gifts and picking what I thought Ashton could/would feasibly get.

I’ve already talked about Puzzle Pieces a while ago here but I will say more things under the cut (spoiler warning, obviously lol). some day I will combine these two asks into one director’s cut master post

so puzzle pieces. my baby. my pride and joy.  this idea started forming back in May (I know because I was looking through my asks to Helen on her blog recently and I mentioned it).  It took a while to get to though, because I needed to let it simmer in the back and wanted to work on too close to see first.  I love soulmate aus that include platonic soulmates without specifying what soulmate is which type, and I really like the idea of soulmate aus where first physical contact produces a color, so you don’t necessarily know if you’re soulmates right away.  two things somewhat bother me about soulmate aus and one of them is that once two people discover that they’re soulmates it’s easy smooth sailing with no buffer period.  like whenever two soulmates meet for the first time and then kiss after five minutes it’s very ???? to me because you don’t know that person!!! you don’t know them!!!!! part of what I wanted to show in this one was the development of a relationship between everyone, and one way to do that was to make First Touches a big deal so the boys didn’t necessarily know they were soulmates right away with the exception of malum, but they were babies and little kids sometimes become bffs within 2 minutes anyway so I figured that was okay.  how our society would change if soulmates existed in a distinguishable way is something I've thought of a lot, and that manifested as it being a Big Deal to touch someone for the first time in this fic.

originally, way back in the day, I was going to have a different color for each pairing, but that was going to get really messy really fast, so instead I gave each person their own color that they leave on everyone else.  I talk about why I chose each color in the other ask.

two of my favorite scenes to write were the scene right after the recording studio where Ashton tells Michael about his dad and the scene where Ashton touches everyone else for the first time.  I just really like Ashton/mashton lol but I also felt like the scene in the car fixed another thing about soulmates that bothers me: love takes work!!! I really wonder how many soulmate relationships would be happy ones if we had marks to designate soulmates in the real world. I wanted to ensure that our soulmate relationships in this fic were not friends/partners because they’re soulmates, but because they genuinely enjoy each other and put work into the relationship.  revealing that soulmarks could theoretically disappear like Ashton’s dad’s did was one way to put that in context of the greater universe.  earlier in the fic I mention also that soulmarks show how easy it should theoretically be to love someone, not that you love them.  they are not a guarantee.  giving Ashton abandonment issues made his acceptance of the boys as his soulmates that much sweeter in my opinion, because accepting their marks was his way of saying that he trusts them to put in the work to love him.

I know I've mentioned this before but Michael wasn’t ace until about 4 days before I posted.  I’m pretty sure there was a conversation about ace rep in fics that I witnessed in the early early days of the club and then I looked at the (almost finished) doc and was like. hang on a sec. I could add two sentences and as its written right now this guy would be ace. so that’s what I did! because it turns out a lot of Michael’s “is this platonic or romantic” dilemma/crisis fits really well with my ace experience.  write what you know, amiright lads?

also an underrated line in this is Calum is an old, comfortable sweater, but Luke is like a favorite pair of shoes.  They both fit him perfectly.  He feels more at home when either of them are around, and although the love he has for Calum is different, he thinks he could love Luke just as much.  He thinks he might, by now. like bruh that’s the point of the whole fic! loving people differently, not less/more!!!!! also I just really like that comparison of the clothing items.  feels good feels authentic.

the first time this was referred to as an ot4 fic it threw me off because it’s not romantic between the four of them but I like that people say it’s an ot4 fic because the mashton and muke friendships are just as important as malum in my eyes, although I love malum in this dearly and think they’re super super cute.

also initially I thought it was going to be around 8k.  whenever I give myself a word count limit I think a fic will be, I exceed it.  that’s fine though I'm okay with that. it’s a lot more important to tell the story in the amount of words it needs than to either rush it or elongate it.

anyway those are the puzzle pieces thoughts for the night, tune back next time for more that I'll inevitably be able to dig up because I will never get tired of talking about this fic

#ask #pixiegrl #emily #sorry it's so late em I know you're asleep but I told myself I wouldn't do this until I finished my essay #that was a lie <3 #also fun fact bella and peyton have not read puzzle pieces #which is fine you know read what you want when you want #it's just kinda funny to me because they're the people here I talk to the most and they both have not read this piece of my heart #and I posted it with bella in mind as a Fellow Ace #anyway. did anyone know that I love this fic lol #have considered writing a sequel but also don't want to ruin the integrity of the original #which is a danger when it comes to any extensions of a universe #sometimes you need to leave a story where it is so the author can't wreck it #(that being said I have vague ideas. I do) #soulmate colors au #director's cut

wait whats bee n boo boy--?

Ah Hello Anon Welcome To My Brainrot There Is No Escape-

But the long and short of it is I accidentally fell into the Dream SMP fandom but not really, because the only things I care about in this fandom are bee n’ boo n’ boy, which is what I say when I’m referring to Tubbo, Ranboo, and Michael, because you will tear this beautiful happy family with dads platonically married for tax purposes and a son who is a zombified pig but is still so loved anyways from my cold dead hands. who needs philicide minecraft when you can have actual good parenting amiright

Ohmygosh

I cannot even begin to express just how much

Mirio loves Valentines day.

He's like so siked to spoil everyone in his life that he loves.

Especially you.

I've said it so many times but Mirio isnt a morning person, never was and never will be.

But for you? His dad? His friends?

This boy be up at the crack of dawn.

He's got a pep in his step and is making heart shaped hashbrowns, bagels, and other breakfast food, again, all heart shaped!!

He's not the best cook, so although edible, things do end up kinda,,,,, crispy.

He'll gently wake you up first, mumbling good mornings as he kisses you and hands you a rose!!!

Lots of cuddling

He has a whole day planned and you best believe this man put cuddling on the schedule.

So many kisses!!!hugs!!And soft sappy compliments!!!

"You look so breathtaking this morning sunshine!!"

"Y'know I'm not really a fan of mornings cutie, but if they mean getting to see you so soft and adorably sleepy? I might just have to change my stance on morningtimes!!"

Mirio invited his dad and friends over so y'all could have a valentines day brunch!!!

So much wholesome conversation and laughter it's very nice, Mirio and his dad going back and forth with their equally dry/corny jokes 😂

After that y'all sit down and watch a couple movies together, and its cozy as heck

I cant say enough that Mirio views this day as a wonderful excuse to spoil and show appreciation to all those he loves in his life!!!!

Heck yea for focusing on familial and platonic love right along side romantic on Valentine's day too yehaw

After a couple movies y'all give hugs, take home boxes, and happy farewells to your friends and fam and wish them safe travels as they head home.

Heheheheheeheh.

And now it's time

For romance-

TO THE MAAAAAAAAAAAAX 💕😤👌

The second the door is closed Mirio is right near vibrating from excitement and anticipation of what hes got planned

Oh my would you look at that! Its kisses: part 2!

Excitedly kisses you and tells you to get all gussied up

Proceeds to run to the bedroom, and you swear you hear a tiny, Mario-eske "wa-hoo!" As he shuts the door 😂😂😂😂

What a freakin nerd amiright?

For a guy in a rush to get ready, he sure does take his sweet time swooning over you 🤭

Clutches his heart like you've stabbed him

"My goodness angel!! Didnt realize you had a secret 2nd quirk of makin people speechless with your beautiful self!"

Gonna be honest if you choose to wear makeup, hes gonna me like, the tiniest bit pouty.

"Mirio really if you're careful it's okay to kiss m-"

"OOOOOHHH NO BABY- I saw how hard you worked on your look! And you look stunning!! Well...moresothanusual....but still!! Nu uh no face kisses till the end of the night"

Makeup or not that hecker lasts like 10 minutes before near making out with you in the car good grief 😒

Drives you out to this really pretty field of flowers where he set up some lights so yall could slow dance and yknow.

Be cute as heck

He made!!! A picnic dinner!!!

Well okay!! Acutally Tamaki made the food!! but like!!!He helped!!!

I'm not saying he shyly kinda wants to pull a Lady and the Tramp.

But he does, and he's like so flushed and shy about it because he knows its cheesy but DaNgIt he wants to do it.

If you choose to do it with him he'll be so happy smoochin you.......and also steal the pasta from your mouth which on one hand- gross.....but also.....kinda hot just saying okay now look away from me and back to the headcanons.

Dances with you for hoursssssss, ranging from slow and loving to upbeat and silly, it's a good time all round.

Y'all end the night cuddling in bed watching something together, comfortable and warmed by the earnest and wonderful love y'all have for eachother.

"Happy Valentines Day sunshine"

"Happy Valentines Day my hero"

Hello! I was wondering if you'd write for platonic floof with Muichiro and Yuichiro? If so, may I request the two's shenanigans in Kimetsu Academy? Good luck with your writer's block! ;; And I hope you have a lovely day! 💕💕

Made it into headcanons so it would be easier! I hope you enjoy it, lovie!

▬▬▬

Warning(s): None, unless Yuichiro is a spoiler

(There's not a lot of gifs for Muichiro fsr. Why is that?)

Muichiro and Yuichiro Tokitou: Kimetsu Gakuen Shenanigans (Headcanons)

So

The Tokitou twins

(Where do I even start with them)

They're usually not the type of teens to get into trouble, but they're also not angels 100% of the time.

Yuichiro is worse than his younger brother, but Muichiro is the brains behind all of their encounters.

Probably the only people they won't fuck with are Tanjirou and his gang (since they're apart of that group of friends), Shinobu, and Sanemi. Everyone else on campus is free game for them.

If they're planning anything in front of the Kamaboko Squad, Tanjirou or Kanao will usually tell them off. That doesn't stop most of them from pitching in ideas left and right.

They make damn sure not to get caught by the teachers if they're pulling pranks. They're supposed to be angel students, and they can't ruin that reputation if they want to get away with things in the future.

Muichiro is on the Morale Committee and Yuichiro gets into a lot of fights defending his brother, so they often get paired together.

They never get anything done

If you want to ask if they switch places with one another, then the answer is yes.

All. The. Time.

They've figured out how to act exactly alike (monotone) so it's easy to pretend to be one another.

Yuichiro is good at math and Muichiro is good at English, so they do each other's homework.

Anything for good grades, amiright?

How to Seduce People

(A guide by Dick Grayson)

Look pretty (don’t give me that Look, Jay, it’s true--no, you’re very good looking, I think--eww--just because I’m your brother doesn’t mean--no, I’m not just saying that because you’re my baby broth--objectively--Timmy, stop laughing)

[muffled, Tim, who is holding the camera: Does this mean that you think you’re pretty? Dick, looking in the camera like he’s on the Office: Are you saying I’m not? *brief moment of silence* Jason: ...he has a point]

[Tim appears in front of the camera, wearing an oversized sweater and holding a huge thermos of coffee: Okay, so we were going to get Dick to tell us how to seduce people but he was basically useless so we’re going to film him actually seducing people and just analyze the data since it’s easier] [The camera is shaking the entire time because Steph, the camera holder, is trying her best not to laugh and failing super hard]

Stare at a woman so intently that you walk into a pole. Whisper to your brother that I can’t help it, her ARMS. I think she could kill me with her pinky but use the dumbest voice to show that you are In Love. Somehow. For whatever reason. While she’s trying not to laugh, walk up to her and tell her that you think she’s very disciplined and cool and then blurt out thank you for your existence and try to speed walk away, only to have her ask you out to coffee (when you picture the woman, picture korrafitness because damn amiright or is this just a gay thing) [Dick appears in the frame, in his bedroom, holding the camera, looking tired: First of all, that was a platonic thing-- Tim: You two literally text all the time. I saw you kiss her neck. Dick: PLATONICALLY. Tim: Oh my fucking god.]

Ask your barista about his day and when he says ‘good, thanks!’ in a really cheerful tone, say softly, it sucks that you have to pretend, and buy him a hot chocolate with whipped cream and sprinkles. The next day, appear and ask again. When he squints at you and asks if you’re the hot chocolate dude, get really flustered and say what’s hot chocolate in a panicky voice before buying the barista a lemonade even though it’s dead of winter. On the third day, somehow, the barista asks you out. [cuts to Dick in his bedroom again, looking even more exhausted: He doesn’t like me like that. Tim: He comes over every once in a while? You buy each other fancy food? He literally has a heart next to your name in his contacts. Dick: First of all, the heart is an inside joke, second of all, he told me that he didn’t like anyone-- Tim: Holy shit he’s crushing on you and you don’t even recognize it? Dick, loudly: RYAN DOESN’T LIKE ME TIM--] [cuts to boy who looks vaguely like Michael B. Jordon--why, you ask? Idk I just had Black Panther on the mind and so Michael B. Jordon being hot was on my mind I KNOW it’s random just roll--anyways, he’s kinda looking past the camera, like he’s chatting with the person behind it. He looks kinda embarrassed: Yeah, uh, I have a crush on Dick--don’t tell him, though, okay? I’ve been kind of dropping hints and I think he’s been ignoring them because he doesn’t like me that way-- Steph, dramatically from off to the side: NO at least TRY Ryan: But what if he doesn’t like me? Tim, flatly: he’s had sex with like 90% of his friends. Even if he doesn’t like you, it’s not going to change anything. Ryan: I want something serious, though. *they talk a bit more and Ryan talks about how he’s not sure if Dick’s looking for something serious but he is and Steph and Tim’s replies basically sum up to oh my god why is this so complicated okay fine use your own discretion but I think if you want it then you should try*] [Tim, looking extremely sleep deprived and high-key manic: HE DIDN’T FUCKING CONFESS. IT’S BEEN ONE-- Jason: It’s been three weeks, Timbo. Tim: What? No way, I only slept... Steph clocks him from behind. Tim passes out. Steph flashes a peace sign at the camera and the footage cuts off.]

At one point, Tim asks Bruce what makes Dick so seductive. Bruce stares at the camera for a moment, and then says I am your father in a really confused voice. Tim’s like yeah but you’re... y’know... such a good detective... and Bruce is like [covers ears] [covers face] [puts head on the table] [groans] I am your FATHER

There are a LOT more shenanigans along those lines

One involves Dick saving someone’s life

another involves Dick stabbing himself with a needle when he tries to sew a flower on someone’s jacket. He ends with a black and yellow blob and hesitantly says it’s a cute little... bumblebee? and apologizes. Somehow this seduces the person.

In the end, it shows super blurry footage of Dick with his hair slicked back in a tuxedo, smiling as he’s surrounded with women in super nice and elegant dresses. Dick looks straight at the camera, smirks, and mouths look pretty.

The rest of the footage is just like five minutes straight of Tim just. Screaming.

Anyways, feel free to add more.

[thatbassistbitch]

I have a deep platonic love for my best friends. All romantic love I’ve ever felt has only ever doesn't really matter to me, to me. Romantic love has only ever hurt me so I don’t believe in it as much as platonic love.🤷🏻‍♀️

who needs romance when you can flop onto your friend for snuggles and steal their french fries amiright?? nobody will ever love me as much as my friends presumably do

[playablekairi]

What do people mischaracterize Riku as? I'm not that into fanon and am curious

ah... this is gonna get long, sorry. plenty of other ppl i follow on twitter have said it before me, so i don’t take credit for this, but the soriku fandom in particular has a long history of hating kairi, and their flimsy justification for it is that she only exists to be sora’s love interest and how it’s pathetic that her existence revolves around nothing but him. they then turn around and do the exact same thing to riku’s character, and make everything about him revolve around his relationship with sora. so he winds up getting mischaracterized as someone who doesn’t have connections to any of the other characters and is even straight up uncomfortable around girls, because haha gay guys hate women amiright!!

this fails to take into account that uh... riku actually has deeper and richer connections to most of the cast’s girls than sora himself does, even though fandom has no problem characterizing sora as bi. to clarify, i do not mean this in a romantic ship sense. riku’s bond with kairi is VERY important to the plots of kh1 and kh2, equally important whether you interpret it romantically or platonically, because this series is at its core about friendship, and seeing fans say “oh that’s just comp het, he actually can’t stand her and did everything for sora” leaves me flabbergasted, especially as a lesbian who has experienced vicious comp het. also like... did they not play the game or...??? but i admittedly have a rikai bias, so moving along. his relationship with naminé is important, and has been continually revisited throughout the series. i don’t think it’s being set up in a shippy sense (or, at least, i sure hope it isn’t), but i think it’s important to note that they are two people who worked together behind the scenes quite often and there is a shared history there, even if it hasn’t been spoonfed to us. the same goes with xion, riku has spent WAY more time interacting with her than sora himself has (granted, for obvious reasons, but i digress) and their relationship is a messy thing i would really like to see explored in future instalments. even looking at minor characters, fans will use his brief interactions with shiki in ddd to ‘prove’ that he’s gay and not just, you know, an awkward disaster because he’s a sixteen year old boy. even his connection to aqua gets sidelined, which i think is a goddamn shame because i would love to see him be her apprentice after all this is said and done, because noooo riku can’t interact with anyone but sora. this isn’t to say that you have to ship him romantically with any female character, that’s not what i’m suggesting at all, but to outright and explicitly say “he has no connection to these characters at all ew how could you say that this OBVIOUSLY gay-coded male character has female friends you fucking homophobe” is. downright insane.

twitter is a bad place, anon, you gotta block the right ppl or you’ll lose your mind because i know that sounds like an exaggeration but i have honest-to-god receipts. in my opinion, it’s downright biphobic, usually misogynistic, and frequently verges on this weird fetishization of mlm relationships. i think it’s often a projection of their own insecurities, which is really sad, but it’s not my responsibility to hold their hands and walk them through their internalized prejudices. i’m here to have fun.

i like riku a lot, and he’s one of my favourite characters of all time. i find him very relatable. i myself am gay. i... do not need him to be gay? i see a lot of fans act like it’s a personal attack for riku to not be 100% gay. i can’t wrap my head around it.

okay this is getting long lemme tl;dr: mischaracterizing riku as tragic gay caricature who exists to do nothing but pine after sora and has actually always hated kairi is such a bad fucking take that it makes my blood boil. kh is about bonds, particular bonds of friendship, and to insist that riku only has a bond with sora and that it HAS to be romantic or else we’ve been queerbaited for years... goes against everything the series has always been about. it’s also hypocritical as fuck that they cherry-pick evidence that kairi’s role in the game is ‘only’ to be sora’s prize to be won at the end, and then turn around and treat soriku the exact same way. i’m over it.

#sorry anon this is messy as hell #it may also be spaced super weird bc answering asks on mobile sucks #anyway feel free to drop me a dm i’m always down to get salty about the toxic underbelly of the kh fandom #....... i feel like i need a disclaimer here that i do actually love soriku lmao #i just hate fans who are like soriku-or-death #kh #i love my disaster bi son riku kingdomhearts
