nct dream reaction ₊˚ପ⊹
➸ the dreamies as boyfriends.
alt title: the dreamies are boyfriend coded—that's all.

masterlist
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ mark lee
mark is very easily flustered in general, so what is he supposed to do when the prettiest person ever is just simply existing in his presence? just remembering you're in the room and stealing a glance your way awakens the most teenage-boyish feelings within him, tips of his ears red and nerves bubbling as if he isn't already in a relationship with you
he's endeared by the most minute gestures and quirks of yours, the ones that go unnoticed by others. like your little huff when you're frustrated or the way you scrunch your nose when you're not satisfied or contemplating something
they way you randomly squeeze his hand when you guys are walking will drive him up the wall. this man will audibly gasp or squeak, clutch his chest, and squeeze his eyes shut to recover from the way his heart is suddenly and fiercely pounding in his chest
he's constantly geeking out over you, though he doesn't gush to the dreamies too often. they'd just make fun of him and tbh he doesn't wanna hear it, but on occasion he'll talk to jaehyun or johnny since they're close and more than willing to lend an ear
can only go so long without a kiss from you. i give him maximum two hours (sometimes sooner) before he's looking into your eyes in that way that tells you he's going to kiss you
his hands would come up to hold your face and his lips would mold into a soft, doughy smile before pressing into yours. it's delicate and lingering, and he breathes you in every time, hands only leaving your face to wrap tightly around you and hold you close to his chest
would do the typical 'wipe the corner of your mouth with his thumb' when you're eating together or pick an eyelash from your cheek, holding it up and insisting you make a wish and blow it away so it comes true
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ huang renjun
we know renjun has no filter, but i don't see him being too frequently outspoken about his feelings with/towards you; he's slightly reserved in this regard because giving cheesy compliments feels slightly foreign and awkward and he doesn't thinks it's something he's good at
initially, that is.
that reservation lasts up until the moment the most unplanned, instinctual, and heartfelt "gosh, i could look at you forever," leaves his lips.
he didn't plan to make you flustered; in fact, he didn't even plan on saying it out loud. he was just obliviously voicing his thoughts, but once he saw the flush of red that spread across your cheeks, eyes dreamy and wide with surprise, renjun questions how he ever went a day without being the reason for this look on your face.
huang renjun pays so much attention to detail when it comes to you, whether it's about your favorite food/restaurant or your coffee order or the different scents/products you like. you'll literally never have to repeat yourself with him, he's always listening very closely and noticing all the small things about you that no one has ever picked up on
he's so gentle and considerate, an 'actions speak louder than words' kind of guy. constant acts of service, making sure you keep up with meals, helping with chores, naming and watering your plants, etc.
and, undoubtedly, he's definitely the best out of the dreamies at taking care of you when you're sick.
now... he will wear a mask and wont kiss you until you're 100% better
or at least until he's sure you're not contagious
but you can bet this boy is making you fresh tea and soup daily, checking your temperature every thirty minutes, rubbing menthol on your chest and running you a bath + sticking a towel in the dryer so it's warm when he wraps it around you and gets you ready for bed
will not leave your side until you make a complete recovery
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ lee jeno
his natural resting state is his face tucked into your neck or shoulder
before he's even opened his eyes on an early morning, his face is nuzzling into yours, lips nibbling at your neck, plush and wet and leaving the lightest of kisses on your warm skin. he's completely enveloped by your scent, lulled to sleep for a bit longer by the sounds of your even breaths
if you're standing in a queue or at a party, he'll rest his cheekbone onto your shoulder, both arms wrapping around your waist. occasionally he'll leave a kiss on the nearest accessible spot of exposed skin, but since he's the shyest member (according to the dreamies), he might not do much more in regards to PDA
hand holding is a must though, especially when it's cold and your linked hands are tucked into his jacket pocket. so cheesy but you gotta let it slide bc it's lee jeno
loves to help you pick your outfits/shop with you... loves it.
has absolutely all the patience in the world, and will watch you with stars in his eyes as you style yourself, nervously offering his opinion every so often
will ask you to get up from your seat so that he can take it and pull you onto his lap instead. 7/10 times he'll get hard but can you blame him...
speaking of laps, please let him nap on yours :( jeno will pout and beg for a chance to sleep on your thighs or tummy, insisting that the quality of his sleep is drastically improved when he's on you. also, it's implied that he wants you to massage his scalp and play with his hair... will be out within five minutes if you do
and if he were to stir awake and the lights in the room were too bright, he'd tiredly drag your hand over to rest on his cheek and shade his eyes so he can keep sleeping
would absolutely love if you showed an interest in any of his hobbies
for example, he'd be so giddy if you let him teach you how to play a video game, holding your hand over the mouse and keyboard and pressing your fingers down on the buttons as he mutters instructions into your shoulder
or if you wanted to ride bikes with him or go to the gym with him, he'd be so attentive and watchful over you, making sure you have a good time doing the things that he likes
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ lee donghyuck
the partner privilege is real with this one
like, he'll be actively feeding you a bite of his food and another member would ask to try it, and he would immediately complain (even though he eventually gives in anyway) just because ugh! it's not the same as letting you have some, you know?
and on the topic of food, when you try his, he will be feeding it to you. no, he will not let you do it yourself so don't even try it—lee donghyuck lives and breathes for the way you roll your eyes in feigned annoyance before accepting the spoonful he so meticulously prepared for you, cheeks stuffed because it was probably too much. he'd even coo at you, going on about how cute you look and asking how you like the taste
will feel betrayed if you watch an episode of a show you're meant to be watching together without him. and while he's on tour or stuck at the dorms, he will facetime you so you can watch it together
he's genuinely so enamored and obsessed with you, in a way that might not even be entirely normal or sane. loves laying on your chest so that he can hear your heart and yes, he will shamelessly ask you to scratch his back, humming contently after each drag of your nails on his skin
cannot seem to get enough affection, ever
also cannot seem to get close enough to you. if it was possible, he'd merge into you to be closer but since it isn't, he'll just have to settle for cuddle sessions where he's wrapped around you like a koala, leg swung across you and pinning you in place.
he's a little dependent when he's with you, so he has a bit of a hard time when he's on tour. hyuck needs to talk to you and hear your voice and he will do anything and everything necessary to make that happen, whether it's staying up ridiculously late, or getting up before the sun to match your schedule. when he's away, he misses you so, so bad that it literally and physically hurts
and he's so soft on these phone calls, constantly reminding you that he misses you and your voice and your touch
he'll endlessly tell you that he loves you, all teasing and jokes aside—he can go back to doing all that when he gets home. for now, he's rambling about all the things he did that day that you would have liked and promising that he will bring you there one day
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ na jaemin
the honeymoon phase never truly ends when you're dating na jaemin. he is the biggest flirt, and i do not say that lightly
compliments and teases you like it's second nature because it is. he's constantly trying to swoon you and is not at all shy about skin-ship, clinging to you when he feels like he needs a bit of extra loving.
i think people underestimate how romantic jaemin is because he tends to be a bit subtle about it, and contrary to popular belief, i think he'd only really pull that side of him out in private, only for you to see. he's not particularly against PDA, just prefers to soak you in when the two of you are alone and together
slow kisses that hide how eager and enamored he really is, fingertips softly grazing all the way up your arms until they disappear into the back of your hair. it's insane how every kiss feels like the first with him, just as exciting, giddy, and warm.
if he has to get up before you for practice or schedules, he'll leave a kiss on your forehead before literally tucking you in, promising to be "back home and in your arms before you know it!"
when i say na jaemin would do anything to make you happy... that is not at all an exaggeration
movie night? you can pick the film and snacks. a couple's trip or vacation? he'll have you make a list of everything you wanna do and follow it through to the very last detail. an argument or disagreement? you're always in the right. if he so much as senses it's escalating, he'll quickly apologize. whatever it is you're fighting about, it's not worth upsetting you over. genuinely has so much love for you, he doesn't ever want to see you unhappy.
learns the recipes to your favorite foods so that he can make them for you whenever you want/crave them
if you were comfortable with it, he'd shower with you every single day, it's literally his favorite thing
and it's not even sexual half the time bro :( i mean... unless you wanted it to be
it's his fingers slowly scrubbing the shampoo into your scalp, hands massaging your upper back and shoulders, applying your facial cleanser and drawing shapes into the foam on your cheeks and forehead...
will 100% hog the hot water, though
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ zhong chenle
uses humor to flirt with you
even when he's mad at you he's still cracking jokes lmfao
kind of mean when he's playing around, but he knows to never take it too far. he doesn't actually want to hurt your feelings, he only wants to convince you that he's not as infatuated with you as he actually is.... although sometimes he slips up lol
like, he'll be gawking at you with so much love in his eyes, then suddenly crack a joke or poke fun at you. it might be quite confusing for an outsider, especially since after he's done laughing at you, he'd lean in and peck your cheek as a wordless truce. you're used to it by now though, and it's honestly kinda sweet because you know by now that pestering is his own way of showing you that he loves you
will pretend to ignore you so that you're forced to ask him for attention because he likes feeling needed/wanted by you
chenle is the personification of the phrase 'dating your best friend'. there's no one who makes you laugh quite as hard as him, or who knows you as well as he does. and, even at times where he isn't the most directly affectionate, he's still following you from room to room as you go about your day, dramatically dragging his feet bc where are you going without him :(
if you praise him for any reason at all, you've immediately turned him into putty and rendered him incapacitated—his cold front has been breached, and no amount of shrugging or 'tsk'-ing from him can hide the grin on his face or the way his eyes have softened and molded into hearts
your approval means everything to him, and he'd never tell you, but he'd constantly worry if he was enough for you or if you deserved better
when he is in an affectionate mood, you can expect lazy kisses just about anywhere. he gets in these moods when he's sleepy, far too tired to keep up his cold act, choosing instead to nestle himself in your warmth and soak in everything that is you.
instead of playing with his ring to go to sleep, you find that he frequently falls asleep, quietly snoring, with the material of your shirt clutched in his hand
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ park jisung
is touch-starved and it shows!
but the idea of outwardly asking you for affection terrifies him, so every time you perform any kind of skin ship, he desperately tries to express how much he likes it by smiling at you or leaning into your touch in hopes that you catch on to the fact that he loves it and he loves you and he wants more
eventually, as he grows more comfortable in the relationship, daring to initiate some touching of his own... as soon as he reaches this point, you realize there's no stopping him
he'd pick up the cutest little habits like spontaneously kissing you mid sentence because he just can't help himself or wait until you're done speaking bc he just needs to kiss you now or he'll die
that, or he'd catch himself playing with your fingers as he listens to the sound of your voice or while the two are laying down and you're telling him about literally anything
his thumb will be brushing ever so gently over your wrist, knuckles, and fingers as he hums to ensure you that he's still listening, his deep voice making his chest rumble under your cheek
but his favorite habit he's developed by far would be having you curled up on his lap, and it's not even in a sexual way or whatever
genuinely, he's never felt more at home
jisung busies himself caressing your soft skin or playing with your hair as you both mindlessly talk about random topics
and all of a sudden he's hyperaware of the situation and his heart swells up with love + a brush creeps up on his cheeks because hahaha wdym you're sitting on his lap rn??!?!?!
and if you glance up at him, fully expect him to get more flushed and hide in your shoulder
constantly buys you your favorite snack but eats most of them before you get around to trying them :( but like you can't even be mad
overall very soft and baby and just about anything you do makes him fall in love with you again

Meeting again. Alexia putellas × reader.
This is a look into the beginning of Alexia and reader's relationship before the big event.
This is part 1 of a series.
My life has been a bliss. As a Spaniard my dream was to join barcelona. I started out at the youth academy and moved up the rank until I found myself as a part of the senior team. 
My journey was full of ups from winning championships with my dream team to winning individual awards. However, I had a few downs, most notably my ACL tear. When I tore my ACL I thought my career had ended. My road to recovery was nothing short of hard but I got through it and came back stronger. I couldn't have gotten through it without my support system at barcelona. I had a whole network of loving friends who helped me, some I grew up with at the academy and others I met on the team. 
My most notable friend was alexia putellas, she and i met in my early days at barca. We bonded over our chosen path, and our will to do anything to be the best. In our early days of friendship I was always in awe of Alexia's eyes. I would find myself gazing into them for a long time.
One day while we were in the tactics room she whispered in my ear with the biggest smirk on her face “ you are staring people are gonna notice.”  my cheeks immediately turned red but i didn't say anything i just refocused my thoughts on the coach.
After everybody left the room, alexia and i stayed behind and closed the door. 
“Do you want to tell me something?” she said with a smile on her face. 
“ Always cocky. It's not funny anymore.” I responded, which led her to stop.
“ and i don't know if i should tell you anything.” I added.
“ Then don't;” she said. She then pushed me against the wall and started kissing me. The motion was swift but surprising. Without hesitation I leaned into the kiss. We didn't separate until our held breaths gave out.
“ Well, that answers that I guess.” I said, holding her hand.
Our relationship was almost perfect for 6 years after that. Of course we had little spats but nothing major. The world didn't know about us but our barca family did. We did everything together. We roomed together, sat in the locker room next to one another. We even captained our team together. She was a midfielder and I was a forward, our chemistry was pertinent on and off the pitch.
While our relationship was thriving, so was women’s football. More eyes were on us every year. The compassion got harder and we got better. We won several league titles,cups and even the champion’s league. The little spats started after Alexia won her ballon d’or. Alexia was a perfectionist, football was her life and it was mine too. We would get cuddled up in bed and watch hours of footage together and we both loved it. But the pressure was too much for her and she started to act out. She would stand me up for dates, not answer my calls, and leave me to go to bed alone. She made me feel like I was an inconvenience to her. I felt like I lost all priority in her life. 
One day I got home from training and left her behind like I had been doing for months. We were supposed to go  have lunch with my parents but she said she had to do extra training so we switched it to dinner. After about an hour of waiting after I got to the restaurant, my parents decided to go home without eating because Alexia didn't show up. She left me stranded  and ashamed. So I decided to end our relationship. I deserved better than to be number 2 in her life. Not after all we had gone through together. 
I got home, packed my bags and waited for her by the door. When she arrived I immediately got up.
“ You not coming to tonight's dinner is the last straw. I tried to be patient but I can't anymore. I love you, I always will. But I am leaving you and barcelona. I am not renewing my contract.3 i said, i then went to her and kissed her. Surprised, she whispered “ I am sorry, please don't leave.” 
I kissed her again and left. 
That was 3 years ago.

Can I request Bonten and toddler reader? Where the reader is deathly allergic to a lot of things (eggs, peanuts, chocolate etc) so he’s on a very strict diet. But the new nanny doesn’t care about his all needs and basically gives him tons of food that he’s allergic to. Bonten come back to se reader basically dying and the maybe the nanny thought it was a good idea to throw away all the epipens for some reason.
(name) had a strict diet, the little one having a range of food allergies and because of this Bonten made sure he never came into contact with his allergies, They didn't want another restaurant situation where the kitchen used peanut oil to cook his food when they specifically said to NOT use it resulting in a rush to the ER and a restaurant being shut down.
On the fridge was a list of his all his allergies from severity and each member had a list on their phone as keeping their precious cargo alive was top priority.
"I have?" (Name) asked holding the peanut butter cookie, having two things the boy is allergic to being pleanuts and egg and pleanuts "yeah whatever" the nanny said on her phone, having brought the cookies from home as it was something Bonten NEVER kept in the penthouse as (name) tended to get into snacks if left unattended.
(Name) nibbled on the cookie and wandered around before his throat started swelling, a guard having come into the room to see it.
(Name) began gasping as the Nanny began freaking out "WHERE IS HIS EPI PEN?!" The guard yelled out and she shook "I-I tossed them!"
"Why?!" The guard yelled as an ambulance was called "because they're toxic and full of chemicals! That's not good for babies!"
When Bonten got to the hospital, the guard relayed it to them and they saw red.
"WHY WOULD YOU BRING THAT?! IT SPECIFICALLY SAYS IN YOUR CONTRACT THAT ALLERGENS WERE PROHIBITED FROM THE AREA! YOU ARENT EVEN ALLOWED TO EAT THE FOODS FOR A SOLID 24 HOURS!" Sanzu screamed at the nanny as (name) was in recovery, Koko fretting over the little one and letting the others deal with it.
"And you got rid of his EpiPens?! Are you insane?!" Mochi barked out and the woman was crying at this point but they didn't care.
Mikey was staring coldly from the corner, (name) was his son--- sure he was the others son but that was his baby.
He found (name).
He worked towards recovery for the babe and wasn't about to let him go like this.
He spent nights bottle feeding him as (name) would only eat from them.
This act was seen as traitorous but Bonten was merciful.
She would never be able to work in Tokyo again, destroying her career in an instant and blacklisting her.
Affectively ruining her life.
When (name) woke he felt a hand trace his forehead "papa..." He mumbled with a croaky voice and glanced to see Ran "gave us a scare" Ran joked and (name) pouted "I feel... Unlucky" he grumbled and Ran helped him sit up as a nurse came in and helped him be free from the monitors "let's head home, Mikey and Sanzu have a treat for you"
Kakucho and Rindō picked them up and Kakucho brought (name) friendly snacks.

Jenna and Reader break up and months later they have this Olivia Rodrigo-Deja Vu moment
Do You Get Deja-Vu?
Word count: 3.4K
Summary: you were in a toxic relationship when you met jenna ortega. She will help you through it and after it, eventually becoming a couple. Though your road to recovery will be hard.
Warnings: angst, violence, domestic abuse.
Pairing: Jenna Ortega X Fem!Reader
AHHHH IT TOOK ME A LOT TO WRITE THIS I WAS CRYING A LOT 😍 I hope you didn’t mind me adding a lot of backstory to this, but I had to elaborate it somehow! Anyway I hope you like it! 🤍✨
———
You met Jenna Ortega when you were in the worst and darkest place you had ever been. You had just come out of the worst relationship you bad ever been, it was a toxic one, your ex boyfriend was one who would always hit you for one misplaced word. You were both actors, so it was really hard having to put on a mask for the fans and show yourself as a healthy couple when in reality he would hit you and use you whenever he got the chance to do so. He was so protective over you, you couldn’t wear what you wanted, you couldn’t go out without him. You so badly wanted to report him to the police, but on the other hand, who would believe you? He was more famous than you, you had gotten into the acting world thanks to him. If you ever reported him everyone would think you did it for attention, and call you a liar.
Eventually at some point, people close to you and even fans started noticing your bruises, they started noticing how you stopped posting on social medias and how your smiles on interviews were less and less, when you talked it always seemed like you were about to break, but for the sake of everyone around you you always pretended like everything was doing okay. However, you were slowly slipping away. It was becoming hard to pretend and people started noticing that, as well. Your “boyfriend” was friends with the cast of the series “Wednesday” so on night he got invited to have dinner with them, of course you had to go with him, you couldn’t have a moment alone. When you two arrived at the restaurant you all were having dinner at. Your boyfriend held you at his side tightly as he introduced you. “Hey everyone. This is my girlfriend (Y/N). I hope you don’t mind I brought her as well, she insisted to come” he lied to everyone, and you were forced to reply with a smile as he kept you by his side.
Little did you know that Jenna had been following your interviews. She knew something was going on, and if it was domestic abuse she was ready to act upon it. She knew how these things happened because she already had friends in these situation and she promised herself to never let it happen to anyone else that came in her life, wether she knew them or not. Dinner was going by smoothly as of now and everyone was talking pretty loudly while you just kept quiet and picked at your food. You had even started eating less because he wanted you to be skinny. You were deep in your thoughts when Jenna asked you a question “what about you (Y/N)? Are you working on movies or tv shows at the moment?” You looked up at her question, looking confused as you glanced at everyone before replying. “Well I’m working on-“ your boyfriend interrupted you.
“She’s working on a series with me. It’s cute that we have almost every work together right?” He looked at you with that creepy smile of his as You looked down with a small, fake smile. You could barely speak for yourself anymore. “Right…” you said and went back at picking at your food, Jenna just nodding at his reply. At some point you asked to go to the bathroom, luckily you could be alone at least in the bathroom. “I’m gonna go ask the waitress something, I’ll be right back” Jenna said as she stood up from the table, trying to follow you without being noticed. You were in the bathroom checking one of the most recent bruises when you heard Jenna speak. “Did he do that to you?” She asked softly. You immediately put your shirt back down as thought about your reply.
“I-I uh… I tripped and fell down the stairs just today..” you lied, but you knew that she wouldn’t buy it. “(Y/N), I’ve had friends in this situation before, I can recognize when it happens… you can talk to me you know, I believe you. I’ve been following your interviews, I know what’s going on. I understand if you don’t want to talk to me about it, but you need to speak up”. From then on, Jenna became your best and only friend. You would talk to her about everything, about each time he’d beat you up, and she tried helping you get better and speak up to the world your situation, you wished you could. One night though he started beating you pretty badly. He wanted to kill you, he had punched you almost everywhere, you could barely walk, but you needed to run away.
You ran away, you ran so fast, faster than you ever did in your life. He was chasing behind you with a gun, which he couldn’t use until you were out in the open. You tried to run in the woods, hoping to lose him there. If he didn’t kill you then you would tell everything to the world and he couldn’t have that, he had to shut you up. Fortunately luck was coming your way because you happened to be running in the same woods where Jenna was shooting her scenes. You saw lights from where they were shooting and ran exactly there. As soon as you were close you started screaming for them to hear you “HELP! Somebody please help me-“ they were recording when you showed up and you hoped they would record the scene, because at least you could finally report him.
“(Y/N)? Is that you?” Jenna could barely recognize you, your whole face was bleeding and he had almost reached you. “P-Please call the police- he has a gun he wants to kill me” you were really shaken. Somebody did call the police as the recording crew held him back. They wrapped up recordings for that night, and when the police came as well as an ambulance for you they recorded your statement and the crew gave the police the recordings of him threatening you. As soon as police left with him and the adrenaline washed out from your body you burst out crying, finally realizing everything that had happened. You were free… “oh (Y/N)…” Jenna said as she came to you and hugged you tightly, letting you break down in her arms. “You’re safe now love… it’s over. He can’t hurt you anymore…” she kept whispering sweet nothings to you, to calm you down.
And so started your road next to Jenna. She wanted to help you recover, she’d do anything to see you being the happy girl you once were, however, it seemed like you were too far gone. You had troubles even trusting people. You trusted her of course, but there was still some fear she’d hurt you, even if you knew she never would. Even with your fear which Jenna totally understood give what you went through, she insisted on wanting to be close to you and slowly but surely you let her. She had saved you after all. She was your guardian angel and you couldn’t help but thank her everyday for helping you get better. Even with your trust issues, eventually she wanted to be more than friends, and you realized that when one day after filming she kissed you. “Is this okay?” She whispered, citing her character’s sentence from her movie “the fallout”.
With tears in your eyes you hesitantly nodded at her words. From then on you were a couple. You hadn’t gone public because you were scared, she understood everything. She understood your episodes and was there with you all the time even when you didn’t want her around. You felt like you didn’t deserve her. Ever since that douchebag you felt like you didn’t deserve anything good, and she was too good for you. She was what you have always dreamed of, yet you didn’t feel like you deserved her, and she definitely deserved someone better. You decided you should talk to her about how you were feeling so you waited for her awake in her trailer after filming.
“Jen.. can we talk?” You asked her once she came back. By the look on your face she could tell that it wasn’t something good. “Yes hun what is it?” She asked as she sat down on the sofa next to you. “I-I think I need to leave… I need to leave and get better on my own…” you started, which made Jenna confused and worried. “What are you taking about?” She said and searched for your eyes with her own, but you couldn’t stand to look at her. “Jen I’m a terrible girlfriend… I barely trust you, I snap at you all the times, yet you’re so patient with me…” she interrupted you “babe you went through some terrible shit, what you do and how you feel is completely normal I’m not gonna blame you for that… please look at me” she said and tried to reach for you hand. You had tears in your eyes.
“Jenna I look at the mirror and I can’t recognize Myself. Yet You stand there at my side, telling me how beautiful I am, I fail to believe that… you’re too good for me and I don’t deserve that. You deserve someone better than me” by now she was crying too and she put a hand on your chin to make you look at her. “You’re everything I could ask for (Y/N)… and you deserve everything good after everything, why can’t you see that?” She tried convincing you but she knew it was hard. “Because he made me believe I don’t! And even though I know it’s not true I can’t help the feeling that has built inside me that I don’t deserve you, and I don’t want to drag you down with me into that hole I’ve fallen in” you brought a hand up to her cheek to wipe the tears that had rolled down her cheek.
“I’d do anything to see you well… please don’t leave…” she said and you moved closer to her, foreheads touching as you now caressed both her cheeks. “I wish I could…” you whispered as you cried “but I can’t… I need to get better on my own and I care about you too much to drag you into this. Please tell me you understand this…” you cried and she squeezed your hands. “I wish I could…” she said and looked deep into your (e/c) eyes, full of tears same as your own. “ I promise you l’ll come back to you stronger than ever but with the same love I’ve always felt for you and that I never managed to show you.” She nodded. “Can you stay the night at least? Please…” you nodded at her words and the two of you started kissing very deeply, eventually moving to the bed as Jenna crawled on top of you and you kissed like it was the last time, which it it was. The kiss soon tasted salty with both of your tears. Lips quivering as you made love into the night for the last time.
In the morning when Jenna was soon aware of the lack of your presence because your side of the bed was cold, meaning you had already left for at least two hours, though you had left her your sweaters and your perfume, so she had something that reminded her of you. By now everyone that followed you knew what had happened. Your ex was now in jail and his career officially over. This is the reason why you decided to inform your fans with an instagram story. It was a black picture, and you wrote on it.
“Hi guys! Just popping up to say that I will be taking a period off of everything, movies, series, interviews, all of it. By now I’m sure you all know what happened and I need to recover. I have a long way ahead of me but I promise I’ll come back for you. I love you all! <3”
From then on you completely disappeared. Social medias offline, instagram, whatsapp, facebook, just everything. You didn’t tell anyone what your “road to recovery” was, because you didn’t want anyone to know that you were that desperate to go to a clinic, pay psychologists and psychiatrists all to get better from having been domestically abused. You met people with same experiences and sharing everything helped a lot, thankfully you had the best team of doctors following you, and in a year and a half you were back to smiling like you used to. You never stopped thinking about Jenna. You never stopped loving her, you wondered if it was the same for her or if she had moved on.
Of course Jenna hadn’t moved on. You promised to her you’d come back, and she’d wait for you forever. Sure the first period was hard. No one had known about your relationship so she had to smile throughout everything, but eventually she managed to live with it.
Then you went back home. You were completely another girl, well you were the girl you used to be without him. You had gained a bit more weight so you weren’t too skinny anymore, your body was perfect now. You had started putting make up on once again, you took care of yourself more. The old you was finally back. At some point you even decided to pop back out on social medias.
“Hey guys! Missed me? :)”
Was your first instagram story after a year and a half. Then you decided to make an instagram live, decided to explain everything that had happened. You were in your bedroom, hair long and wavy on your shoulder with some simple makeup on. As people joined they could tell from your eyes that you were now finally happy. “Hey guys! Wow, I didn’t expect this many people after I went M.I.A for almost two years” you giggle. People had definitely missed you. Most of the people were asking you how you were. “I’m fine now guys. It took a while but now I’m fine. This is why I’m doing this live now actually, because you deserve to know everything that happened.”
You waited for more people to join the live and then began explaining. “So, as you know I was in a very toxic relationship with this other actor that I’m not gonna name because of privacy.” You started but then you read comments asking you if you were comfortable with saying everything. “Yes guys I’m comfortable with saying everything. I worked a lot on it but here I am.” You explained everything to everyone. You did get emotional at times but you were okay. At some point even Jenna joined the live and god did you look beautiful in her eyes, you always have but now you were glowing. She had never seen you like this, though she didn’t have the guts to text you anything.
Of course your instagram live grabbed the attentions of journalists and interviewers. You had talked about Jenna helping you throughout your dark period, so you both got called on an interview to talk about it. You desperately wanted to see her, and this was your chance to meet her, talk to her and thank her. When you got the news that she had also agreed to take part of the interview you couldn’t help but be happy. It would be your first interview alone after years and you were so happy it was with Jenna.
———
You arrived early as you had been asked to to the location and headed for the makeup. “Hello guys! I hope I’m not too late” you said with a smile and they quickly put makeup on you. When they were finished and left the makeup booth. You saw Jenna. “Jen?” You called for her and she turned around to face you. She looked so beautiful and so did you in her eyes. However she suddenly felt scared. Now she was the one scared that she wasn’t enough for you. You left her to ger better on your own and you came back looking amazing, she felt like she wasn’t enough to help you, and all of the sudden it hurt.
You went over to hug her but she made up an excuse before you could reach her. “I uh, I have to go to the makeup booth” she said and you stopped in your tracks, nodding as she walked away. “We’ll catch up after the interview then?” You asked, but you got no reply. Soon you were both called for the interview. “Ladies and gentlemen, (Y/N)(L/N) everybody! For the first time in screen after almost two years!” You walked through the stage, people cheering for you as you smiled at the huge crowd in front of you. You sat on the couch ready to take in that atmosphere again. “Wow. It feels so good to be back. Hi everyone!” You said with a smile as you looked around. The interviewer continued asking you how you were until it was time to call Jenna. “May I have the honor to call on stage the person that has helped me the most?” The guy nodded.
“Jenna Ortega everybody!” You said smiling as you watched your one and only love walk on stage as well. Then you started explaining everything once again until the interviewer asked you a question “and how was Jenna the one that helped you the most?” He asked, which made you turn to look at her. “Well…” you hesitated, but you took her hand in yours and gently squeezed it. She didn’t pull it back and smiled at you reassuring you. “She helped me by loving me, I should say. Ever since I met her she knew what kind of situation I was in and she was basically the only person to believe me. And then when he was arrested, she never left my side. She kept wanting to be by my side, trying to reassure me whenever I had my episodes. I was at my lowest point in life and she helped me not to go deeper than that. If it wasn’t for her, then I don’t know what would have happened to me.” You said looking at her with tears in your eyes, you looked up trying to make them go away.
Everyone applauded and gave you time to keep going, Jenna squeezed your hand. “And uhm- I don’t know how you could love someone that was so low in life, but she did, she loved me so much and I loved her back with all myself… she was so patient with me, but I felt like I didn’t deserve her and I felt like she could have someone better than me” you were crying at this point, a couple of tears had left your eyes and you were given a bottle of water and some tissues. “I left her to go to a clinic and recover. But she was the best help I had before that and Jenna,” you turned to her. “I’m so sorry if I broke your heart, but like I promised I came back for you stronger than I used to be and with the same love I’ve always felt for you”
The interviewer decided to take a break and you two both went backstage, with Jenna refusing to leave your hand. When you two were somewhere private you decided to talk to Jenna. “Jen I was serious in there… I’m so so sorry. I love you so much and I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t love me anymore and-“ “shut up” she interrupted you. “W-what?” You asked looking deep in her eyes. She got on her tip toes and kissed you softly, tears leaving both of your eyes as you brought your hands on her hips and you felt her hands on your cheeks. “You look amazing…” she whispered when you two separated from the kiss.
“I’m having a deja vu”

Hey sorry to bother you but could I request some headcanons with Gale, Wyll, Zevlor and Halsin taking care of their S/o post jaw surgery? I'm getting bilateral jaw joint replacement surgery in September of 2024 but I have to wear braces before that and they just tightened them today and hoo boy is it painful 😖
Plus it would just be really nice to have something to read while I'm recovering in the hospital. Thank you so much, I hope you're doing well ☺️
YOU'RE NOT BOTHERING ME ILY/P
I myself need tight braces or even surgery due to my overbite so this is right up my alley I got you pookie💋💋 ALSO I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK IN RECOVERY‼️🩷
Warnings: not proofread
Bg3 chars x gn!Tav
Tumblr media
Honestly not quite sure what to do with you
Although if you can't talk he might joke about how you can't stop him from ranting now to which you just roll your eyes and smack him on the shoulder
If solids are off the table you best believe he is going around all of Faérun to find the best soups recipes for you so you suffer a little bit less
Gives you a notebook and his favorite pen if speaking isn't possible and he just looks at you with the cutest face while you write, waiting patiently
Insecurity after the surgery? Nuh uh he won't allow it he will worship your entire body to prove it, he'll probably enjoy it more than you I can't lie.
Tumblr media
Floored, kinda like Gale he has no idea how to take care of someone "injured" in that way
His new vocabulary is just "what do you need?" And then skittering off to get whatever you might need when he figures out what you need
Water? Food? Cuddles? Do you want to close the curtains?? WHAT DO YOU NEED.
he also gives you something to write notes on but he's panicking everytime while waiting because he feels it's stupid that he doesn't just know what you need at all times but he's trying his best <3
Tumblr media
Halsin is probably the most chill and laid back when it comes to your surgery, he knows you'll be fine but that doesn't mean he won't do everything for you
He's acting like you just had surgery on both of your legs and not your jaw— he even asks if he should carry you where just throw up your arms and furrow your brows at the druid while he looks at you like a confused puppy.
Definitely has some natural herbal stuff to deal with your pain, he's so thoughtful.
Can honestly just look at you and tell what you need, He's a very perceptive man which saves you the cramp of writing. It even surprises you how much he can read you but it's not unwelcome by any means.
Tumblr media
Probably getting you so many gifts to make you feel better ontop of some smooth sweet words while he runs his hand up and down your arm
A decent cook but if there's something he doesn't know how to make he'll just get it from a restaurant instead, he doesn't wanna risk you not liking it.
Half writing half hand gestures
By the way you move or even just gesturing to him he can know what you want and moves to get it after giving the crown of your head
"I'll be right back with that, my love"
he's so sweet it's gonna give you cavities
He reads to you aswell if you wish obviously
I do apologize if this is bad I woke up like 30 minutes ago and I'm HUNGRY but I tried I hope you like it :3

burgers and milkshakes have literally been proven to increase risks of diabetes, cancer, autoimmune diseases, obesity genes, fatty liver ETC but if it makes you feel better for having a bad diet you do you
I wasn’t gonna respond to this, but considering how you clearly missed the mark and didn’t realize that the post is pro recovery for eating disorders, I feel like I have too.
I’ve had an eating disorder since I was 11, OSFED to be exact. I have literally been so sick at one point that my spine was showing through baggy clothes and my friends would literally force feed me during lunch. If you want to criticize me for having a bad diet, go ahead, but criticize me for having an eating disorder and not taking care of my body, don’t do it by acting like I only eat burgers and milkshakes.
Also, burgers and milkshakes are major fear foods for many people with eating disorders. I am terrified of ice cream and have literally started bawling once when my dad tried to take me to a restaurant where they served milkshakes. You missed the entire point of the post.
You are allowed to enjoy things in life that previously made you terrified, you are allowed to enjoy things that yes, may not be the healthiest for you, but when you have an eating disorder relishing in those moments is one of the key parts of recovery.
Please, educate yourself, there’s a reason you’re on anon and not commenting from your actual account.

BTW I’m betting $1 million dollars that syd and carmy are not getting together next season . I don’t watch the bear for them specifically or for any of the romantic relationships that are being set up, but I think it’s obvious the writers are going to eventually introduce syd and carmy as a legitimate pairing buttt imo season 3 will be syd and Marcus figuring out where they stand and probs eventually coming to a realization that they’re better as friends and Marcus deserves more/better than syd is ready to give him, carmy is going to be confused as to why this upsets him while simultaneously finding closure with Claire, but all of this will be the background of some bigger story of them opening the restaurant up to the public . I genuinely do not think we will get real syd/carmy until like season 4 at the very earliest, and even then I think it’ll be the writers making it blatant that syd and carmy have feelings for each other which they won’t act on until season 5 .
Also the syd carmy shippers make this relationship out to be the most prominent thing in the show when it really is just an interesting minor subplot in a show about a thousand different and more interesting things . Like why is the bear tag full of syd x carmy ooc fanfiction and not grief and child abuse recovery and found family . And Richie of course

"B.C. has become the first province in Canada, and one of a handful of jurisdictions in North America, to implement a permanent cap on fees charged by food-delivery companies.
The Food Delivery Service Fee Act has received Royal Assent in the Province of British Columbia and will now provide more cost certainty to restaurant and bar owners throughout the province.
“Shifting consumer habits throughout the pandemic led to B.C.’s restaurant industry continuously adapting to stay open and serve their customers,” said Ravi Kahlon, Minister of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation. “By passing legislation to make the delivery fee cap a permanent support for restaurants, we’re leading Canada in providing more stability and certainty to the sector itself, and to the delivery drivers who work within it.”
B.C.’s cap limits the fees for core services that delivery companies can charge restaurants to no more than 20% of the dollar value of an order, echoing similar permanent caps enacted by Seattle and San Francisco. Restaurant and bar owners facing ongoing challenges from the pandemic and global inflation will no longer need to worry about delivery fees as high as 30% returning when the temporary cap would have expired at the end of the year."

Jaewon Breaking Through The Fog Of Depression [LONG POST]
So throughout the last several episodes, we’ve got Jaewon, and the reactions of the various people around him, trying to get him out of his funk one way or another. Let’s go through the list of failures, before we discuss who succeeded:
Taehyung. I’m not gonna waste any word count on that man, he doesn’t deserve it. He had no idea what Jaewon was going through much less why, so nothing he said was helpful or relevant. He was the one person actively trying to instigate Jaewon, thinking he’d banter back and not realizing how serious he considered the situation. Taehyung’s lack of empathy and ‘nunchi’ makes him unpalatable.
Tumblr media
Eunji. She’s an interesting one. Unlike Taehyung I think she understood more of why Jaewon was so affected (not because of his past but because of his present with Jihyun), but was afraid that she would lose him so she manipulated him in his vulnerable moments so that they stayed together. She kept trying to tell Jaewon that he was fine now in an attempt to convince him that he was, when in fact that probably just invalidated his feelings more than ever. Instead of encouraging his recovery it just made him feel misunderstood and alone.
Tumblr media
Jihyun. While Jaewon trusts Jihyun and knows that Jihyun knows him, he can’t believe a lot of what Jihyun says to him because he KNOWS that his opinions are biased. Jaewon may be thinking that Jihyun is saying what Jaewon wants to hear, not that he actually means it, and so Jaewon is automatically disinclined to believe him. He wants to believe him so badly but he’s convinced himself that there’s no way that Jihyun truly believes what he’s saying. Isn’t that the worst part.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His Therapist. I know she means well, she’s the one other person who knows everything about Jaewon. But her job is to try and ‘cure’ him to the best of her abilities, and sometimes in trying to do that she missed what needs to be done. It’s unclear whether she’s being able to treat the symptom or the root issue. She tells Jaewon what he needs to do, but that’s easier said than done, otherwise he would’ve done it by now. Her telling him isn’t the point, he had to come to that conclusion by himself so that he believes it, before acting on it. It didn’t help that she was getting so visibly frustrated at his story and his reactions.
Tumblr media
Now. Who succeeded? It’s the most expected and most unexpected persons around Jaewon:
Yoonwon. Yoonwon is probably Jaewon’s one true friend, someone who knows what he’s like and doesn’t judge him for it ever. He genuinely cares for her and loves her. They’ve absolutely got each other’s backs, and if there’s one thing these two do it’s never lie to each other. Seeing Yoonwon break down after Jihyun gave his ultimatum was probably the first time we saw Jaewon get out of his depressive trance and react with energy. His hubris is his desire to take care and protect those around him (often to his own detriment), and that instinct kicks in for Yoonwon. Until now, Jaewon did what he thought was best to prevent Jihyun (or anyone else) from getting hurt, but seeing her he realized that people were getting hurt despite, or even because of what he was doing. It was the first step of many towards his change in attitude and perspective. What he was doing was not only not helping but it was actively hurting someone he loved, so something had to change.
Tumblr media
Restaurant Ahjumma. She’s a legend, she’s an icon, and she is the moment. Jaewon only knows her as a close friend of Jihyun, but has nothing personally connected to her. Even with leaving out specific details, he’s able to share his worries with her, and she (quite literally) smacks some sense into him, reminding him to look at the bigger picture and remember what’s actually important. Loving the ones you love, and pursuing your own happiness is more important to living than drowning in guilt, and taking care of yourself is the first step in that direction. She used the most simple of words that everyone understands to help Jaewon clear his mind. She knows nothing about Jaewon and he finds there’s a comfort in getting support from someone who doesn’t know you and had no opinion of you beforehand. Her combined street smart wisdom and maturity remind Jaewon of a more hopeful future.
Tumblr media
What I absolutely love is how Jaewon only managed to connect to two women for entirely opposite reasons, but with a similar result. Jaewon believes Yoonwon because they know each other so well and he knows she wouldn’t lie, and he believes the ahjumma because they don’t know each other at all and as someone Jihyun trusts she has no reason to lie. While on opposite ends of the spectrum, they are both people that Jaewon doesn’t have to put up a mask around, there’s no pretention. It tells us so much about Jaewon, what he values in a person and in a relationship. Yoonwon makes him realize what he’s doing is wrong, and the Ahjumma gives him the courage to do what is right.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To stop running away from what scares him…
Tumblr media
…and face it head on.

thunder force taken from the 2021 film.
you’re an embarrassment, you know that?
we don’t do that. we don’t take that kind of guff.
the room is furnished in a non-distracting manner to help with your recovery.
did you take that from the restaurant, you little outlaw?
how about you get thirty minutes of shut-eye. i’ll wake you.
dang it. you always get carried away.
let me at least feed you.
you suck.
people are afraid to leave the house. all this fighting, all this crime.
would you say grace, please?
now, get in that dumpster. ‘cause that’s where the garbage goes.
somebody’s an overachiever.
i know we don’t have a lot of time, so let me say this. if this goes bad, i wanna thank you for being my friend.
not to sound like a femme fatale, but it feels like i need to kill them.
you know, killing people is not a recognized hobby.
thanks, lord, for making such kick-ass food. if jesus was here, he would crush it.
so, my fuse is a little short. this is a trigger environment for me.
don’t point at me. don’t judge-y point at me.
it’s a miracle you’re still alive.
some people just deserve a dumpster.
you know, it’s like trying to skip a rock in a lake. you know the lake’s gonna eat it. it took you half an hour to find the right flat rock, but you got to throw it.
get a shovel. i’m gonna bury that bitch.
i know things are weird between us because we had harsh words.
this is set to extra-crispy, you donut hole.
you’re gonna crack from the stress though. that’s why i’m here.
you got a weak glass there.
i worry about ya, but you do make a hell of a pancake.
that’s expected. but you still need to eat.
you know, i’m scrambling to find the silver lining here.
i wanted you to be safe out there. i developed a high-powered taser for you.
you need to work on your phrasing, because in that scenario, you just made yourself the dog.
we need a little snack break, get our brain juices going again.
now that we’re going into a possible physical altercation, i’m feeling my stress rising.
it’s not a massage chair, you idiot.
sometimes i do need to drink it like it’s cocoa.
you think i don’t talk to you enough? am i too tough on you?
use your big brain.
you have a really weird vision of how rich people live.
i barfed river water on you.
we have clean clothing for you. everything you could possibly need, and we will burn what you are wearing at the first opportunity.
you don’t think before you act. you always do the stupid thing.
i’m ready to get my hands dirty.
you deserve a pickle bag.
the whole point is i’m scaring people.
whatever you say. you’re always right.
so, i can’t say, “(name) is a stupid bags of crap,” i have to say, “(name) is a stupid bag of crap”?

Through Fire & Blood III
Tumblr media
Kyōjurō Rengoku x DragonRider!Reader
A/N
so
I've had this stored away a very long time in a dark corner where I completely forgot about it
So I'm finally going to post the last chapter I wrote for it and then this fic is up for adoption :3
Hope you enjoy this last chapter from me
Part One
Part Two
It wasn't until Kyōjurō was turning the corner to his home did he realise that you’d called him ‘Mister Loud Restaurant Man’. which had him grinning for a delectable little moment before the realisation that you didn't know his name came crashing down. That realisation was soon brutally crushed as another realisation came crashing down. 
Kyōjurō didn’t know your name either. Kyōjurō had been walking on autopilot, lost oh so deep in the ocean of thoughts about the whole ordeal that didn't even realise he’d made it home, to his room in fact. He stood silently at his door, bewildered at how lost in his thoughts he’d become. 
Putting on his sleepwear Kyōjurō replayed the scene in his head mulling over what he could’ve done differently. He lay down in his futon, his thoughts still swirling, however Kyōjurō was not one to linger on what ifs, so he decided to rectify his mistake with a deceptively simple idea. Exchanging names.
You had been wearing a delicate grin amongst your blooming cheeks with your head in the clouds–both literally and figuratively–since your little woodland encounter. Of course, your small band of friends had quickly noticed the change in behaviour. 
“You know, for someone that just got knocked out of the sky, you seem awfully…giddy,” Arthur spoke, Your friends hummed in agreement before trying to pry answers from your stammering lips, all the while your dragon giggled in glee knowing the reason you were acting so unusual. It didn't take long for the rest of your team to start prying for details, each of them blasting you with question after question. At this rate they'd end up blasting you out of the sky with their constant stream of inquiries. As if you needed to be rapidly plummeting back to earth again today.
After the horrendous ride back you’d remained sat on your bed carefully tending to your dragon’s wounds. Being sure to make up a better splint for a more effective recovery. The night's events played ever looping in your mind, thoughts flooding your brain and spilling out your mouth. Your dragon half-heartedly listens to your worries. Of course it wasn't that the beast didn't care, they certainly did, It's just that you seemed a bit… hysterical about the topic at hand. Raving about how strange demons were and how stunningly heroic your rescuer had been. Your thoughts were spinning and you went with them spilling an endless sea from the depths of your mind out through your mouth. 'What's up with demons? Could they be connected to the hunter activity in the area? What about this Demon Slayer Corps? Could they help if the demons and hunters are connected? Would they? And then there was your oh so handsome saviour tonight… 'The way he swung his sword…' or 'how the brilliant flames seemed to make him appear ethereal…'
Your dragon rolled their eyes, oh boy were you hooked.
---
The next time you meet it was certainly not at a restaurant. Although once upon a time it could've been. Kyōjurō has been sent to an old abandoned mansion near the coast that'd supposedly been cursed. People would see bright flashes from the far off abode combined with the most horrible screams and screeches. The corps had initially sent in a few teams to investigate but none had reported back. Now the corps was sending in the Flame Hashira.
You on the other hand were following up on hunter attacks with the rest of your team. You'd managed to narrow down possible hunter bases to 3 main points on the coast. 
Over the next week the team would investigate each location to see if their suspicions were true.

So, care to share some info about the two OCs, and especially their stands?
IM SO HAPPY YOU ASKED!!
THIS IS GOING to be long
Okay so, Stromae Polnareff is Polnareff's adopted son- he took him in from the streets of France when he was about 8. He hates getting help or having to ask for it because of his tough life on the streets. But when Jotaro goes off to Morioh, Polnareff suggests the Stromae tag along- since he's an adult now and deserves independence. (Hes about 19 during DiU) Despite a rough life, he wants nothing more than to be a chef as cooking is one of the only things that makes him truly happy. He takes up an apprenticeship at Tonios restaurant, after finding out about the place through Josuke. His stand is Fortress Round UR ♡. In reference to Fortress Around Your Heart by Sting. Im still really struggling with its ability, even after two weeks of having this oc, but I have a vague idea. Fortress is a more protective and defensive stand, that acts as a shield. When active, a forcefeild will appear around Stromae- anyone who comes in contact with the field itself will have thier emotions wildly skewed and manipulated. Its an emotions-based stand, which would makes sense as Stromae struggles with his emotions. Stromaes character arc is more centered around learning to trust others and being vulnerable enough to ask for help when he needs it. I'm thinking he also turns up in Golden Wind, but probably because SWF notified him that his father in trouble.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
As for Pallas Temple. Hes a 24 year old jockey in the Steel Ball Run. Hes a very sparky and fiesty character, who often likes to taunt the other participants- but he has a good heart. Coming from an incredibly traditional background, Pallas has always longed to be a jockey- but hes parents believed that was only a man's job (Pallas is trans). Despite this, hed train tirelessly to become a great rider because he wanted to prove that he could do it. One night, while practicing- he was bucked off his horse and trampled. This left him with severe concussion that took his speech and made him terrified to get back on the saddle for a time. Not to mention, the recovery took a WHILE. Struggling with speech loss and apraxia because of his fall though wasn't going to stop him for long- as he went into the Steel Ball Run anyway. Hes hiding alot from his fellow riders, but thats fine by him. His stand, Dead or Alive- is just as wild as he can be. (Dead or Alive, by Bon Jovi) The stand itself is actually made entirely out of ransom notes, letters, and other papers. He often uses the ransom notes to speak, but this serves two purposes. Only stands users can see his notes, so he can weed them out rather easily from normal people if the are receptive to his notes. His stands true ability though (a freind helped me with this) is based on the notes aswell. In order to get out of the grasp of the stand, it opponents have to complete the tasks that the notes tell them to do. Examples would include: Cut your finger off, strip, jump off your horse. Minor to moderate tasks that are more meant to annoy but also to assert that Pallas could really control the situation if he wanted to.
Again, thank you so much for expressing interest in my ocs! It put alot of care into them and their respective designs.

Dear Mr Tracy... (Part 7)
Tumblr media
Sweetapple | Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 - Bit 1, Bit 2, Bit 3 | Part 5 - Bit 1, Bit 2 | Part 6 | Part 7
@flyboytracy​​​​​​​​, @amistrio​​​​​​​​ and @onereyofstarlight​​​​​​​​​  you asked for it, so you get to suffer more :D
So sorry for the delay on this. Apart from the obstacle that was Christmas and all the work before and after it, this fic needed thought. At 2am this morning, the scene coalesced in my head, so here we have it :D
Many many thanks to @onereyofstarlight​, @gaviiadastra​ and @katblu42​ for putting up with my whining this morning. Unfortunately, brain threw a minor migraine first thing, that while it didn’t throw me to the ground, it messed with my head (is still messing with my head, damn thing). But fortunately before I was forced to go back to bed, this got written and my friends got whined at.
Anyway, soooo much emotion in this, probably why it was so hard to write. The first bit might sound a little familiar as I think I posted a bit for a WIP Wendesday at one point, can’t remember.
I hope you enjoy.
-o-o-o-
Scott hated arguing with Virgil.
Hated it with a passion. Not the disagreements about tactics in the field or how many kitchen sinks he should take with them on vacation. That was part and parcel of who they were.
This, however…if Gordon thought Scott was blind to the worry that was consuming Virgil, his fish brother was the blind one.
Ever since they rescued Dad, Virgil had been hovering. At first it seemed his brother couldn’t let Dad out of his sight, as if the man would disappear like a dream.
And yes, Scott had a bit of that himself. Dad had been so sick, for a while there it was possible they had only brought him home to die.
But Dad, being Dad, had survived and taken the first of many steps towards recovery.
It was a long journey and Scott was very aware that his father still had a way to go, but his medical brother was clinging to symptoms and placing restrictions on Dad’s movements that seemed far more for his own insecurities than any health issue.
Scott had consulted with his grandmother and her answer had been to give Virgil time.
So he gave Virgil time.
And Dad chewed on his bit wanting to be let loose.
Scott supported Virgil. Scott believed in Virgil.
Scott watched as the man wore himself down.
He had tried talking to him, but Virgil would list symptoms and arguments would break out. If it was Scott’s fault that he was far too much like his father, so be it, because somewhere amongst those arguments, Scott had stopped listening to his brother.
It wasn’t a realisation, it was an acknowledgement. He had made a decision and acted.
Leaving Virgil behind.
And it felt awful.
But Dad needed his freedom. After being stuck on that rock in space for so long…Scott couldn’t think of a worse imprisonment…and he couldn’t help but empathise with his father.
So it placed him in direct conflict with his medical brother.
It felt wrong.
It was wrong.
He wasn’t sure how it had gotten so bad. Why he had let it go so long.
But Gordon snarling at him wasn’t going to fix anything.
Virgil’s empty seat glared at him.
Scott should have gone after Virgil. But he hadn’t. Because he knew that if he had, it would all have just dissolved into another argument.
God, he hated arguing with Virgil.
“Scott? Are you listening?” Gordon’s glare was fit to scorch him.
“Is there anything worth listening to?” It was sharp and uncalled for, but it generated the response he needed it to.
Gordon shut up.
“Scott!” Dad was frowning at him.
Actually, everyone was staring at him.
Excellent.
Perfect.
He threw down his napkin and stood up. “I’m going for a walk.” He didn’t bother to acknowledge whatever it was that Gordon growled in his direction. Instead, he strode from the room and out through the restaurant, ignoring the questioning glances of both Tia and Kayo.
The sea air was refreshing as it hit his face and for just a second, he gave himself a moment to settle his emotions.
A seagull squawked off to his left.
A hand landed gently on his right shoulder.
He turned, ready to shake off whoever was messing with him, but the hand gripped a little tighter and Kayo held a finger up to her lips.
Scott frowned, but obeyed, a reflex from in the field he could not resist, and as she gestured across the road, his eyes found why she needed his silence.
On a bench, facing the ocean, Alexander Sweetapple had Scott’s brother in his arms.
Hugging him.
-o-o-o-
 “You need to step back and look after yourself.”
There. He had said it. For good or bad.
Virgil stared at him a moment before looking away again, first up at the ocean, but then down at the grass. His elbows returned to his knees and Alex was shut out from seeing his face as those strong hands combed through and gripped dark hair. The mere sight of him was anguish itself.
Alex had to turn away, yet again caught between his need to respond to the grief before him and the fact that it probably wasn’t his place.
But there was no one else doing anything!
“I can’t do this.” It was quiet and muffled. “I just can’t…” There was a tremor in the last syllable that had Alex turning to the man in alarm.
“Can’t do what?”
The face that looked up at him was red, strained, almost broken. “Lose them.”
Alex swallowed. “Your Dad is getting better.”
The sound Virgil made could only be a pained scoff. “I’ve nearly lost Scott so many times. I thought that finding Dad would help. But it has only made it worse.” A harshly drawn in breath as he once again stared out at the ocean. “If we lose Dad, we’ll lose Scott as well, and I can’t…”
The hopelessness in the man’s voice had Alex responding without thought. He wrapped a long arm around those big shoulders and drew the man close. He needed a hug.
God, he needed a hug.
He nudged that bowed head to his shoulder and just held the man. The tension in his body was fit to bust something, but he seemed to relax just a little as Alex stroked a thumb across a bicep.
“It’s going to be okay.” Alex had no clue at the truth of those words, but regardless, he felt Virgil needed to hear them.
Muscles flexed under his arm as if to resist the words, but Virgil did not pull away.
Nor did he say anything.
So Alex just sat and held him.

I do see how I misunderstood your original post, apologies. However, that doesn’t change the fact that you’re assigning motives and connections where there are none. Angus says very clearly what he’s packing and why, his motives are explicitly laid out and doesn’t offer any sort of clue that he might not be telling the truth. He doesn’t make any mention of the draft before, during, or after this scene— in the case of the restaurant scene, he says that he’ll be sent to Vietnam as a result of attending Fork Union, not because he was drafted.
If you want to talk about draft dodgers, that’s cool and a very good and worthy thing to discuss as far as American politics go, but this movie is not about a boy who is actively trying to dodge the draft. He’s 17, he’s not at risk of being drafted until at least his 18th birthday, so he wouldn’t be preemptively preparing for something like this�� what good could wearing a swimsuit like that on vacation do in terms of being drafted? He’d have to wear it to his assessment; just owning that piece of clothing isn’t enough proof that he intended to use it for that purpose. Also, as far as draft dodging techniques go, there are ways that were much easier for someone like Angus to do; a big, popular choice was going to college, or faking a medical condition— hell, with the trauma history to his shoulder, he might not even be eligible for the draft in the first place, depending on how it healed and what functionality he’s capable of (which, to be fair, in the film, it seems like he makes a speedy recovery).
Anyway, my point is, claiming to be gay to avoid the draft, whether true or not, was a very extreme choice, and there were things he could have done that would be easier and less damaging. In 1970, when the bulk of this movie takes place, homosexuality was still classified as a psychiatric disorder. People were hospitalized and criminalized for being gay. In America, it was still classified as a mental illness up until 1973, began being decriminalized in 1961, and wasn’t until 2003 where all the laws left that were anti-gay began to be invalidated (of course, recently, we’ve seen discriminatory laws being put back into place, but I digress). There was a very big stigma around being gay back then, and, if Angus showed up to his drafting station and claimed to be gay, he wouldn’t be sent to Vietnam, but he also likely would not be going home to Boston either.
Again, it’s great to discuss the ethics of the draft and dodging it, but this movie doesn’t talk about it because that’s not what this movie is about. Angus dodging the draft is not brought up, because this movie is not the story of a troubled boy who is dodging the draft, along with other hardships in his life.
If you want to watch a movie about the draft/dodging the draft, I suggest The Boys Who Said NO! (2020, dir. judith ehrlich) which, while not fiction, does paint a very good picture of what the environment and conversation around draft dodging was at the time, and gives a tidy little retrospective of the implications of these actions.
First off, you sound like that person who sent that weird essay to maia crimew. Second off, please take a film studies or film analysis course. Just because the film isn't ACTIVELY about something doesn't mean it's not a theme. Third, Angus is a junior who repeated a grade. Fourth, (this list is out of order with your ask) gay men fully could not join the military. It wasn't just if they were drafted. It's also very silly to me that you're acting like you know a lot about Vietnam drafting but using dodging instead of resisting. I'm a queer woman who has studied prep schools during the Vietnam era very intensely. Just because something wasn't popular doesn't mean it didn't happen. I am a film student, the curtains are never just blue. The filmmaker's intention ultimately doesn't matter. There is an underlying theme of Vietnam War fears throughout that movie and I literally just identified one. Grow up <3

Relationships of Vinziel! TDAU OC
Bruce: Best Friends (they consider each other brothers). In the past whenever John would leave and eventually forget Vinz is even in his pod, Bruce would be there to accompany him when he's not busy with Brozone
Fun fact, Vinz actually caught a tiny crush on Bruce but he knew Bruce had a wife and kids so he kept it under control. Eventually he had to tell Bruce to get it off his chest. They had a long conversation about it and they stayed best friends and are even more close than ever. Vinz got over the crush and that was that.
Bruce is the one who keeps Vinz in check, making sure they don't go too overboard with their offensiveness. Bruce doesn't defend or even mention Vinz in social media because Vinz doesn't want him too, so he respects his wishes.
Whenever Vinz is badly hurt or injured Bruce would let them stay at his place in vacay Island till they recover and during Vinz's recovery he won't be allowed to touch gadgets or be allowed to use social media.
As much as Bruce wants to he can't stop Vinz from doing what he does, because no matter how much he gives Vinz attention he still has his own restaurant, wife and kids to take care of, so he can't always give Vinz the attention he wants, so he let's Vinz do his offensive shit, because it's what Vinz's wants. Bruce has tried countless times to get Vinz into therapy but it doesn't work since Vinz still craves attention.
Basically Vinz is so fucked up in the head no matter how many therapy sessions he goes to, he'll always want attention because he's been deprived of it since birth. They get into SO much drama it's like two new ones every week.
John Dory: ex-lovers. John only dated Vinz to experiment if he's gay or nah. John Dory can't even consider Vinz as an ex since John treated them like a stranger he occasionally talks to. Vinz was very bitter after the breakup, although John didn't feel much.
Whenever they hang out it's always at his pod. They'd talk for a bit (mostly on John's end) Only talking about Brozone, and eventually John would leave Vinz alone to do Brozone shit, saying "I'll be back in a minute" which he never does and just forgets Vinz is even there, until later he finds Vinz in the same spot, and walks past him like he's not even there.
In terms of social media John sometimes posts about dramas Vinz gets into, always starting his paragraph with "He was never like this when we were dating" then says how disappointed he is and what not, not to get some clout or anything he genuinely feels that way. Vinz's defenders and/or John Dory haters say "Of course he only began to act this way after you two broke up" implying John had some part in Vinz's downward spiral, which yes he did.
Clay, Branch, Poppy, Floyd and Viva: They all don't know Vinz as much, they did once get super offended and what he said that Bruce had to explain to them personally that Vinz didn't mean it, and they all just forgot about it, they never mentioned or got involved in Vinz's drama like Bruce. Vinz doesn't interact with them much apart from when they visit Bruce and sees Vinz there as well.
