When Bradley managed to pull his head out of his ass long enough to invite you to Noah's birthday party, he hadn't anticipated what it would be like if you actually came. You texted him back on Friday, letting him know you would try to stop by. But now that he and Nat were setting everything up, Bradley was feeling anxious. 
Every time a guest arrived, he poked his head outside to see if your car was there, only to be disappointed. He wanted to see you. That much was plainly evident now. But he wanted to do way more than that. He missed you so much. 
"She'll be here," Nat told him as she held Noah. "There's no way she's going to be able to live with herself if she disappoints this little guy. Isn't that right, Noah? Now pout at your dad."
Bradley laughed as Noah and Nat both made sad, pouty faces at him. "You're right. Nobody could say no to that," Bradley said, blowing a raspberry on his son's neck until they were both laughing. 
Jake strolled in with two six packs of beer and looked around. "Happy birthday, Noah. Where's your babysitter, little dude?"
Bradley rolled his eyes in response, and just as he was about to say he wasn't sure if you were even coming, you opened the front door and met Bradley's eyes right away.
"Hi," you said softly, your arms filled with gift bags and treats as you shifted everything around nervously. 
"Princess," Bradley said before he could catch himself. His heart was pounding as you bit your glossy lip anxiously and turned your attention to Noah. 
"Happy birthday!" As soon as you said those two words, you had Noah's full attention, and he squirmed to get out of Nat's arms and run to you. Bradley watched you kneel and set everything on the floor so Noah could hug you. 
"See? He needs her here. And I don't think he's the only one," Nat whispered as she shoved Bradley toward you. But Jake was right there as well, and Bradley knew for a fact that Hangman was interested in you. He'd been not so subtly asking about you since he saw the photo of you on Bradley's phone at the Hard Deck. The photo of you wearing your purple crown. 
"You must be the babysitter," Jake drawled with a grin as he approached you on the floor with Noah. He was looking down the front of your little dress, Bradley just knew it. And when you looked up at him with innocent eyes, nodding and introducing yourself, Bradley was on the verge of kicking Jake out of his house. Because it looked indecent, the way you were positioned and the way Jake was easing himself a little closer still. 
Bradley cleared his throat loudly. "I'll just take these into the kitchen," he said, scooping up the gifts. And that's when he noticed you'd made a whole container of ants on logs wearing party hats made out of lettuce. Bradley wanted to throw you over his shoulder and take you to his room, make love to you, and never hurt you again. He met your eyes, kneeling just a foot away from you while Noah pawed at you. 
"Okay," you whispered. You looked far less pleased when you were looking at Bradley than you did when you were looking at Noah or Jake. He deserved that. He knew he did. He was lucky you even decided to come today to make Noah happy. 
Oh god, Bradley wanted to take back every horrible word he said to you, but he couldn't. The damage was done now, just as he had originally intended. And he had to watch as Jake helped you stand and run his fingers up your uninjured arm. 
"Hi!" called two of the moms of Noah's daycare friends as they walked in with their own kids, taking Bradley's attention away from you. He greeted them and their children, and ended up adding even more gift bags to his arms. 
Then Mav and Penny arrived. Bradley let Penny take his face in her hands and pat his cheeks, something he probably wouldn't let anyone else do to him. And then she kissed him and asked, "How's the dating thing working out for you?"
Bradley laughed sardonically. "I've pushed that to the back burner, Pen."
"Yeah. Mav told me that Meredith is giving you a hard time. If there's anything we can do...?"
"I appreciate it. I'll let you know."
When Bradley finally went into the kitchen to put Noah's snacks in the refrigerator and set down the gifts, he froze. You had already made your way in here. Your back was to him, and you were talking to Jake. Bradley could hear your laughter in response to something Jake said, and he had never been so jealous before. He was so used to coaxing that gorgeous sound from your lips himself. Those glossy lips that Jake was eyeing up, no doubt thinking about doing something dirty to them. 
Bradley's breath caught in his throat as you turned to glance at him over your shoulder with a bland look. He was so used to your flirtatious smile and bright, wide eyes being focused on him. God, he had taken it all for granted, and now you couldn't stand him. 
And if Bradley thought he had been jealous a moment ago when Jake made you laugh, it was nothing compared to the outrage he felt as he watched Jake touch your waist. He squeezed you gently, letting his fingers dig into the fabric of your floral dress. All of the gifts tumbled out of Bradley's hands and onto the table, and you sidestepped Jake's grubby little hand to turn and look at him. 
"One of my gifts is fragile," you said with annoyance, rooting through the pile to make sure it was okay. But Bradley was looking at Jake, and Jake was looking right back at him before his eyes dipped down to your ass. 
"Seresin. Let's go outside. Now," Bradley growled, pointing at the sliding glass door off the kitchen. 
Jake's little smirk grew as he said, "Sure thing, Bradshaw," and headed out. 
Bradley slid the door closed with a thud and rounded on Jake. "Don't touch her."
Jake laughed heartily. "You fucking her, Rooster? Damn, you must be. Or you were." He paused, and Bradley could feel his cheeks heating up. "Maybe it wasn't any good for her? Because right now, she's not looking at you at all, man."
Bradley ran his tongue along the inside of his cheek and clenched his fists. "Don't touch her, and don't talk about her. Don't even fucking look at her."
But Jake just cocked his head. "Hey, that's some great advice. And here's some for you. If you have access to a hot little piece of ass like that, you don't keep her tucked away in your house. You show that off. Let everyone know about it. That's what I'd do."
"Jake. Just stop." Bradley was fuming now, and also annoyed that he was letting Hangman get under his skin. But Jake was right; Bradley should have been showing you off when he had the chance instead of going on dates with the women from the app. Maybe then you and he would be in a place where he could be bold enough to ask you to stay with him in spite of Meredith.
"Why should I? Are you dating her?"
Bradley closed his eyes for a beat and let out a puff of air. "No."
"If you don't want her, why can't I have her?"
Bradley shook his head. "I never said that." 
You opened the sliding glass door and poked your head outside, and both men stood at attention for you. "The pizzas are here," you told Bradley. "Want me to pay the guy with the money behind the TV?"
Bradley cleared his throat and glared at Jake for a second. "I'll take care of it, Princess," he said, pausing in the doorway with you. He had missed being this close to you, close enough to smell wildflowers. Your expression was softer now, almost that of an injured animal. He wanted to apologize for hurting you, but he settled for letting his fingers trace your knuckles before he pulled out his wallet for the pizzas.
You didn't flinch. You didn't back away. But that look in your eye grew a little sadder, and Bradley knew he had put it there. "Princess," he whispered, softer this time, and your lips parted before you turned and walked away from him and outside to Jake.
-----------------------------
You were a mess. You shouldn't have come to the birthday party. All you wanted was to see Noah and bring him some treats, but it was killing you to be around Bradley, pretending like you weren't crushed. 
And the second you had let your guard down, Jake started flirting with you. Which was fine. It didn't really matter. He seemed sweet enough even though he kept cornering you in conversation every time you tried to talk to Penny. You did manage to sneak away as Nat waved you over. But you could tell by the sympathetic look in her eyes that she knew Bradley had basically dumped you. 
"Hey, Natasha. It's nice to see you," you managed with a small smile. 
"I'm really happy you came," she replied as Noah ran up to hug your leg before returning to his friends. He had been hanging out with you more than anyone else, really. "And clearly so is the birthday boy."
"Yeah, well... I'm kind of attached to him, sadly," you said with a forced laugh. Then you asked the question that had been on your mind since you arrived. The one you were afraid to hear the answer to. "Hey, is Meredith coming?"
Nat's eyes went wide and she almost dropped her slice of pizza. "Hell no. Why would Meredith be here? In fact, I would go so far as to say that if she decides to show up, I will drag her outside myself and make her leave."
You were gaping at her. "She and Bradley aren't... talking? About getting back together? For Noah?"
Now she really did drop her pizza right onto the hardwood floor. "Who told you that?!"
"Nobody."
Bradley had lied to you about Meredith. But why? What would be the point in that? And if he wanted to hurt you, then why did he invite you here today? Why was he looking at you like he missed you and calling you Princess instead of ignoring you? 
You bent and used your napkin to wipe up the cheese and sauce, and when you stood, Nat looked like she was about to rage. Without another word, she took off in Bradley's direction leaving you with so many questions swirling around in your mind. 
When you made your way back into the kitchen to throw the napkin away, you decided it would be a good idea for you to just sneak out the back door and head home. You once again felt drained and undesirable and disrespected. It didn't really matter how badly you wanted to be here for Noah if Bradley wasn't going to be honest with you about what was going on. You reached for the container of snacks for Noah and set it in the refrigerator, and then you turned to find Jake right behind you.
"Oh!" you gasped, jumping awkwardly. "I didn't know you were in here."
His smile was so charming, you could do nothing but smile back as he said, "Just came in for more pizza, but found something so much nicer instead." He touched your arm again, and you rolled your eyes.
"You're a shameless flirt," you informed him, as if he didn't know that already. 
"What? You don't like that?" he asked, taking a step closer.
You matched his smirk with your own. "Maybe I like a guy who can be subtle sometimes."
"Hey, that sounds like my good friend Bradshaw," he said, running his thumb slowly up to your shoulder. "But maybe he's a little too subtle? A little too reserved? You deserve to be set right on a pedestal. All out in the open."
You laughed. You couldn't help it. This was absolutely ridiculous. "No, I think I would prefer a throne. Like a Princess. In a castle," you told him, thinking about all the castles you and Noah had built out of blocks while wearing your paper crowns. Thinking about the times you and Bradley had been so comfortable together, talking on his couch.
"Okay," Jake drawled. "I like where this is headed. And if Bradshaw doesn't want you, I definitely do, Princess."
You opened your mouth to tell him not to call you that, but he was already leaning in and kissing you.
----------------------------
Bradley saw red. He never really understood that expression before. It never made sense. Until right now. It felt and looked like all of the blood in his body was obscuring his vision. And all he wanted to do was make Jake Seresin hurt.
Jake's hands were on your face and neck, and his lips were pressed to yours. Right in the middle of Bradley's kitchen.
Bradley just got finished being reamed out by Nat for being the world's biggest dickhead, so he was already on edge. Already looking to apologize to you and hoping you'd listen to him. But the sight of Jake kissing you was just one step too far, and he wasn't going to let this fly. 
With three swift steps, Bradley was right there, grabbing Jake by the shoulder and pulling him away from you. The startled look in your eyes, and the way you were still holding your arms tight to your sides had Bradley shoving Jake against the refrigerator. 
"I warned you, Hangman," he growled, but Jake just smirked and licked his lips like he was savoring the way you tasted. The fact that he now also knew how nice your lipgloss was had Bradley seeing double. 
"Bradley, it's okay. Stop." Your voice was soft, and then he could feel your hand on his back through his shirt. He turned away from Jake and focused his attention on you instead, unclenching his fists.
"Come with me, Princess." His voice was deep and raspy, and when he wrapped his arm around your waist, you spun away from him. 
"Bradley!" you demanded, a little louder this time. 
"Please?" he asked, and when he leaned down and kissed your forehead in front of anyone who might be looking, you let him take your hand and lead you into the bathroom. When he closed the door, you leaned back against it and bit your lip in silence.
"What the fuck are you doing to me, Princess?" Bradley asked, his tone pleading. "I can't even look at you, baby. I can't even smell you without hating myself even more."
"Good," you whispered as your gaze settled on his lips. "Where's Meredith?" you asked maliciously. "I haven't seen her all day."
He knew now that you and Nat had spoken. You knew he lied to you last weekend. "She's not coming, and you know it."
"Why did you lie to me about her?"
He swallowed hard. "Princess, I'm so sorry, I-"
"Why? I don't understand! And why do you suddenly care about me today? You told me I'm not right for you. You told me you needed someone better. You said you didn't want this." You gestured to yourself and looked away from him like you were ashamed.
Bradley gently guided your chin with his fingers until you were looking at him again. "I fucking lied about that, too. You're the only thing I want." He eased himself closer to you, desperate to feel your body against his.
You narrowed your eyes at him and pushed on his chest. "You can't keep doing this to me. Leave me alone, Bradley. I don't have time to mess around with you. I know how much you hated doing that with me."
"We weren't just messing around, Princess," he said softly as he backed away from you. He was silently begging you not to open the door and leave him as he swallowed hard. "It meant something to me."
Your eyes fluttered closed as you tilted your head back against the door. He watched your fingers grab at the hem of your dress as you looked at him reluctantly. "Bradley," you whispered. "It meant something to me, too." The anger was gone from your eyes now as you asked him, "Why did you try to hurt me like that on purpose? If you want me, why would you do that?"
"I'm just trying to protect you." He knew he was pleading, and he knew you deserved to hear everything. You also deserved a hell of a lot more than he could give you, and he didn't want to have an hour-long conversation with you in his bathroom during Noah's birthday party. 
"Protect me?" you asked softly.
"Yeah. I just want to protect you," he whispered, running his fingers along your bandaged arm. "Will you let me touch you, Princess?"
You reached for his hand, and Bradley let you take the lead. When you linked your fingers through his and gave a little tug, he went willingly. You pulled him close until you and he were breathing the same air, and he could feel your body heat.
"Protect me from what?" you asked softly, and Bradley had to brace his other hand on the door next to your head as you kissed the edge of his lips softly. "I don't need you to protect me. I need you to appreciate me. Show me some respect. I'm not stupid."
His heart was pounding at the feel of your lips on his skin. "I know you're not stupid, baby. I'm the one who can't get his shit straight. Not you. I'll tell you everything," he promised, panting slightly. "I swear. Just stay. After everyone else leaves, please stay. Let me explain? Let me be good to you?"
Your eyes were alert, examining his face, trying to make sense of everything. When your tongue darted out to wet your lips, you said, "Okay. I'll stay. But you only get one chance, Bradley." 
"I won't fuck it up. I promise. I've missed you so much."
This time you kissed him square on the lips, pulling him closer still by your linked fingers. The soft fabric of your dress was rubbing along his hand, and he knew he would give you anything you wanted. But he had to know, so he released your lips.
"Baby, what the hell were you doing with Jake?"
You paused before saying, "Just talking." 
Bradley shook his head at you. "No. Your lips don't need to be touching his if you're just talking." 
You sucked in a breath as he brought your hand up to his lips and pressed a kiss to each finger. "He kissed me," you whispered. "He called me Princess."
"No," Bradley grunted. "I call you Princess. And he doesn't get to kiss you. Especially not in my house. Tell me I'm better."
Your eyes flashed with sudden need. "You're jealous."
He nodded and kissed your pinky. "You're goddamn right I'm fucking jealous." The softest smirk touched your lips before Bradley leaned in and kissed you. "Am I better than Jake?"
You were smiling now, your eyes wide. "I can't believe you're jealous over me."
Bradley growled. "Am I better?"
"You're better, Bradley."
He covered your lips with his while you rubbed your hand gently along his abs.
"You're such a good girl. Too good for Jake."
"Bradley!" you moaned as he kissed you again. He couldn't keep his lips off you now. This was all he wanted to do. Just kiss you. But he needed to get out of the bathroom before he did something stupid again.
"I know, baby," he whispered against your cheek. "We're gonna talk later. Let's go back out there. And you can tell Jake that you're not interested in him."
You laughed softly. "You want me to go tell him that I'm not interested in him? Because you're jealous?"
Bradley just nodded again. "You go tell him, Princess. Now. And then later on we can talk more."
"Okay, fine," you whispered smugly, and Bradley opened the bathroom door. He watched you walk on slightly unsteady legs as you made your way toward Jake in the living room. Every couple seconds, you smirked back over your shoulder, and Bradley silently urged you on. 
Jake eyed you up and down and then met Bradley's eyes as you spoke to him. He looked annoyed now. Bradley felt elated. 
-----------------------
Bradley was jealous! He had lied to you about everything, and now he was jealous that you were giving Jake attention. This day was turning out so much better than you thought it was going to.
You took a deep breath, looked at Jake and said, "I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression earlier, but I'm not interested in you. Not like that."
"Huh," Jake grunted. "Well, I can't say I'm not disappointed, Princess."
It sounded so wrong, hearing that nickname from anyone other than Bradley and Noah. "Please, don't call me that."
Jake's smirk, which was kind of cute an hour ago, was grating on your nerves now. You wanted Bradley to haul you back to the bathroom again, or better yet, his bed. His handsome face was all you could think about as you caught sight of him out of the corner of your eye. 
"You know, Bradshaw's alright," Jake drawled, and you turned back to him. "Just the slowest one to make his move on a girl. Don't wait around on him if you want more. He has more baggage weighing him down than anyone I've ever-"
You immediately cut him off. "Don't talk about Noah like that."
"Whoa," he said, chuckling and holding his hands up in surrender. "That's not what I meant. I mean the emotional kind. He's been through a lot. It slows him down, makes him hesitate. That's all I'm saying."
"Well thank you for your concern," you replied sarcastically. "But I think they are both worth the wait." You turned toward Bradley where he was talking to one of the daycare moms, and when you walked past him, you let your fingers trail along his lower back. He turned, and the look he gave you almost made your steps falter as you made your way into the kitchen.
If Bradley and Meredith weren't trying to work things out, if there was another reason why he tried to break things off with you, then you'd figure things out with him. And you wouldn't rush him. Because he couldn't stay away from you, and you couldn't stay away from him either. And you didn't want to have to try to fight it.
"Help me get the cake ready?" Nat asked when she saw you. 
"Sure," you replied, opening up disposable plates and getting four candles ready for Noah. You had to keep biting your lip at the memory of kissing Bradley in the bathroom. You were distracted, and Nat must have asked you something. 
"I'm sorry, what?"
She just shook her head. "I know Bradley is an idiot, but please, give him another chance. And you should stay away from Jake."
Had everyone seen him kiss you before? "I wasn't trying to-"
"When Bradley settles down, it will be for life. Meredith definitely stunted his ability to commit, but that fact still remains. Jake's got a different method, if you know what I'm saying. Not one to commit to a hairstyle, let alone a woman. So don't listen to him. Now, can you carry the birthday cake out to the living room?"
You just nodded slowly at her words and took the cake to Noah while Nat lit the candles. The room was full of people, and there were so many voices singing to Noah while Bradley stood next to you with his son in his arms. But it felt like just the three of you. Just like all the other times in Bradley's living room and kitchen. His deep voice warmed you everywhere as his fingers stroked up your spine when Noah blew out the candles. 
"Did you make a wish?" you asked, and Noah's exaggerated nodding made you laugh. "I'm sure it will come true."
-------------------------
Bradley kept glancing your way as you and Noah opened up one of his new toys to play with on the living room couch. You liked his eyes on you. You liked his attention. You liked knowing he was jealous earlier. 
"You want me to make you some coffee, Princess?" he asked, popping back into the living room as you and Noah raced cars across the floor. 
"No, we're busy," you told him with a smirk, looking up at him. "Aren't you supposed to be cleaning up with Nat and Penny?"
He took a step closer and said, "I just want to make sure you're not leaving yet?"
You shook your head. "You asked me to stay. I told you I'll stay."
Bradley grunted and went back into the kitchen, and a few minutes later, Penny and Pete came out. "You ready to go, kiddo?" Penny asked Noah. "You're coming with us for a sleepover." Noah looked up at her from his spot on your lap before he turned around to wrap his arms around your neck. 
"That sounds like fun, Noah!" you told him, giving him a squeeze back. You were going to miss him so much. You'd already been missing him like crazy after just a week without him. Hopefully Bradley would help you make sense of things, because you didn't want to have to keep missing him or his son. 
Noah gave you a kiss, and then Bradley handed Penny an overnight bag and scooped Noah up in a hug. "I love you. Be good for Penny and Mav." And then they were gone, and Bradley was looking at you on the floor in front of him.
Nat poked her head out of the kitchen as Bradley reached down to help you up with hopeful eyes. "How do you want me to wrap up the rest of this cake?" she asked, holding up a roll of aluminum foil. Then she looked between the two of you, and you stepped away from Bradley as she asked, "Wait, it's just the three of us left? Wrap up the cake yourself," she said, tossing the roll to Bradley and grabbing her bag. "Bye."
You watched Nat breeze out the front door without a backward glance. "What was that all about?" you asked, suddenly very aware that you were now alone with him.
He laughed softly. "She wants me to finish talking to you. Now, apparently."
"Well then, talk," you said, taking another step away from him toward the kitchen. "And don't make me cry again. If you do, I'm leaving."
He looked a little panicked, which made you feel like you were completely in control of things for once. He followed you cautiously as you went to investigate how much of the cake was left. Just when you turned toward him to reach for the roll of foil, Bradley set it on the counter and shook his head. 
"I can take care of that later, Princess," he mumbled, caging you in against the counter and kissing you softly. 
You moaned and reached for him immediately, kissing him back, he was still so sweet, and even less demanding than he had been in the bathroom. But then you jerked back, bracing your hands on his forearms. 
"What's going on, Bradley? You're still all over the place. Tell me everything," you demanded, your volume rising with each sentence as he looked abashed. "Nat spilled the beans about Meredith. Then you told me you lied to me. You got jealous about Jake. But you sent me away in tears a week ago. Just...what the fuck?"
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I should have never said those things to you last weekend. I didn't mean a single word of it. I was just trying to protect you."
"You keep saying that!" you complained, pushing on his forearms until he let you move away from him. "But you're not saying anything at all." You ran your fingers along your bandaged arm. "And I already got hurt."
"Princess." Bradley followed you across the kitchen to the table, but you pushed on his chest and shook your head. 
"Do not make me regret staying here right now," you whispered, and he took a deep breath. "Don't make me regret kissing you in the bathroom."
He stood up straight and ran his hands through his hair. His lips looked pouty and kissable. His cheeks were flushed like they had been earlier. But you were going to stand your ground with him.
When he didn't say anything, you pressed harder. "Talk to me." You watched his Adam's apple bob as he swallowed and looked at you intently, but he still said nothing. "I'm leaving."
"No!" gasped, reaching for you again, pulling you closer. You were going to protest again, but then he whispered, "I need you."
"For what, Bradley?"
His voice sounded soft, almost defeated as he told you, "Meredith wants custody of Noah."
------------------------
Come on, jealous Daddy! Tell Princess everything! Hope you enjoy your fic, @beyondthesefourwalls And thank you @mak-32 !

Christmas with the Yellowjackets Headcanons
didn't have enough to make individual posts so i just threw them all together. includes Jackie, Tai, Van, Nat, Shauna, Misty, and Lottie. (seperately, you're not dating all of them lmao)
"All I want for Christmas is you" plays while Jackie Taylor is in the car, 5 injured 3 dead. Jackie loves Christmas music. She's got that shit blasting all hours of the day. if you hear one more Christmas song you think you might just scream. 
Jackie is so into Christmas. She's got the tree up and fully decorated by 12:01 AM the Friday after Thanksgiving. she started buying new decorations November 1st. She's not putting those decorations up, however: that's what she has you for. you lowkey dread the holidays just because of drill sergeant Jackie ordering you around the tree to put up ornaments and lights and shit. they all have exact placements that she's planned out ahead of time. 
Jackie forces shauna and you to watch Christmas movies every year. it's always the same exact ones but Jackie is so excited every year. she has custom made stockings with your names on it and everything. her house is the go to spot for Christmas parties every year. she has mistletoe everywhere and will use it as an excuse to kiss you. 
Jackie's gifts are also very thoughtful and indicative of the amount of attention she pays to you. Jackie without fail manages to get you things you never even knew you wanted but now cherish above your other possessions. she's full on wrapping them. they're all very festive and different prints that somehow all tie together anyways 
Tai Turner 100% wouldn't decorate for Christmas if you didn't make her. she's so content to exchange gifts in her bland house. if you make her get a tree though she's running the tree decorating like it's the navy. that shit is going to be aesthetic and evenly spaced out if it's going in her house. 
she'll let you have one of those really small ones in your room if you wanna decorate one yourself with fun ornaments. she rolls her eyes whenever she sees it but is secretly fond of it
Tai's presents are always perfectly wrapped with the optimum folds and tape placements. She refuses to be bad at anything, and certainly isn't going to let wrapping paper get one over on her. Tai buys presents whenever she sees something and all of her Christmas shopping is done by like August. 
she'll wear a Santa hat if to ask her but it's about as far as she'll get into the Christmas spirit
Van Palmer loves Christmas. She has such happy memories from her childhood of sitting on the couch watching Christmas movies all day. She likes going around to Christmas parties and getting to see all her friends in cheery moods. 
I definitely think Van spends most of December walking around in the ugliest Christmas themed boxers you've ever seen. You're rewatching her favorite Christmas movies and she's wearing Christmas tree print boxers, some kind of Christmas themed innuendo shirt (this Santa goes down or some shit), and her trusty Santa hat. 
Van puts real effort in wrapping up your presents but she's still not good at it. they're unwrapping slightly at the edges and there's way more tape than is needed. She definitely gets you a gag gift every year and after you open it she's like 😁😁 as she pulls out your real present 
Nat Scatorccio is not great at coming up with gift ideas. She'll power through it and eventually get you something you'd like, but god damn would she kill to just get an Amazon link. she either hands you something wrapped in crinkled up printer paper or it's double bagged in the plastic bag it came in. 
Nat would enjoy useful items more than anything I feel. You ask her what she wants for Christmas and she's like “🤔🤔… Broom.” she's completely serious about it; she'd be happy if you just bought her groceries. 
Nat's very hesitant about holiday stuff because her family never really celebrated it all that much as a kid. She enjoys how happy it makes you more than anything. She almost cried when you get her a stocking with her name on it. It's so precious to her as a representation of her place in your life. She grins so wide whenever she sees it. 
Nat loves those super dumb Christmas shirts. Like ‘My other car is a sleigh’ or something. ‘Jingle my bells’. she has no shame, truly. 
Shauna Shipman also isn't super into holidays in general i feel. she'll let you put a tree up and decorate whatever you wanted and wouldn't really care how it looked. holidays for her are more about spending time with you and her friends and family. she remembers holiday stuff fondly but doesn't care much to get into the holiday spirit unless that's your thing. she enjoys the weather a lot and loves to have the excuse of the cold to cuddle in bed with you all day. 
Shauna complains incessantly about how all the radio stations only play Christmas music. she's fuming on almost every car ride because of it she's so dramatic. If she sees s Christmas movie on she will change the channel. Jackie's forced her to watch them so many times she can almost quote them. 
Shauna gets you something she knows you'd like, definitely something you've mentioned before. I think she'd also make you something special. something like a mixtape or a little poem she wrote about you, just something to express her feelings about you. Shauna wraps your presents but it's just whatever wrapping paper she has on hand. one present is covered in gingerbread men and the other says ‘Happy Birthday!’ all over it
Lottie Matthews blushes when she gets caught under mistletoe with you even when you're in a committed relationship. she's so shy about it for some reason.
i also think Lottie's parents were very absent as a kid so she probably never got to celebrate Christmas all that much either. She absolutely beaming whenever you get her a stocking or want to wear ugly Christmas sweaters or something. she loves anything about Christmas that reassures her position in your life. 
Lottie spends way too much money on you every year without fail. she just loves and appreciates you so much and wants to give you everything you could ever want. they're all things that you'd actually want or use and she's clearly put a lot of thought into each one. 
Misty Quigley is so happy to be included you have no idea. she's literally in awe when she sees that you have a stocking with her name on it. i think she might actually cry when she got back home. You ask her if she wants to go to an ugly sweater party with you and she almost passes out. She immediately has so many ideas, you guys will be winning the contest if she has anything to say about it. 
I feel like misty could get a little overwhelming just because there's so many things that she feels like she lost out on as a kid that she wants to make up for with her partner. Misty tries to force cute holiday moments just a little bit but you know she means well. Misty stands underneath the mistletoe until you come over from wherever you are and kiss her. she's so quietly smug about it too. 
Misty spends like 3 hours watching tutorials on how to wrap presents. She's perfected it to an art form. she stumbles into bed exhausted and covered in tape, it looks like a bomb went off. she hands you a present with like origami stars and shit on top when Christmas comes. Misty's the type to wrap the book she got you to look like a chair somehow.

Tumblr media
september 1994
The fall leaves swirl around the backyard as you watch a gaggle of kids run past you, their giggles filling the blocked off outdoor space and warming your heart. You watch your son Christopher smile, the party hat situated on his growing mane of hair waving about as he runs with his friends. It was hard to believe that your baby boy was ten years old. Double digits. It feels like yesterday that you and Eddie were holding him in your arms, newborn home straight from the hospital and ready to begin your new lives as parents.
You find yourself half-paying attention to the conversations happening around you, the parents talking amongst themselves as you try to add to their different topics sporadically, silently wishing for some of your own friends to show up and save you. There was nothing wrong with the parents of your son's friends, other than how quick they were to gossip about and judge you a few years back. You were just wanting to crave any actual conversation with people you loved.
“Auntie Robin has arrived,” Robin announces from inside the house. You stand from your position on one of the chairs situated outside, sliding open the back door of your home to come and greet her. Bags are hanging to her sides as she lets out a small squeal, rushing over to hug you tight. Wrapping your arms around her, you return the gesture, happy to have her here to help endure the countless screaming children and judgmental parents that made your life all the much harder four years ago, but insisting that it no longer bothered you for the sake of the kids. 
"Where's Vickie?" You question.
"She'll be by later, she's wrapping a few things up she had planned out a while ago. I tried telling her that the kids don't want to go to band practice on a Saturday, but she said they needed the extra practice before heading to their competition next weekend," she explains. She looks around the house for a moment, chin resting on your shoulder as she takes in the decorations.
“Can't believe it's taking me this long still getting used to the new house. The old one just held so many memories, ya know? But I do like the upgrade,” Robin tells you, breaking away from the hug and sending a smile your way. You take the bags from her and place them on the coffee table, guiding her into the kitchen for a snack or something to drink.
“It definitely was time for the upgrade. With my promotion money plus Eddie’s hefty contribution, we definitely could afford it,” you explain a bit, pouring a glass of water and offering it to her. She takes it and gulps it down, sighing in relief before her brows twist in a bit of concern.
“Speaking of, where is Eddie? Is he outside with the rest of the kiddos?” She asks, looking through the large window in the kitchen to try and spot him.
“Actually, I think he’s upstairs with-“
“Here we are!” Eddie blurts out, darting from around the corner and greeting you both. “Sorry to keep you waiting sweetheart. Kas here decided she didn’t want to wear the outfit Mommy laid out for her, so she gave Daddy some grief. But we worked it out, didn't we Kas?”
You reach out for the two-year-old, hands resting underneath her tiny armpits and bringing her close to your body, placing her on your hip. Eddie reaches out to plant a kiss on your lips, a quick peck before offering a hug to Robin. You raise your index finger and play with your daughter, tickling her chubby cheeks and watching her giggle. 
“Now why didn’t you want to wear the pretty dress Momma laid out for you, babygirl?” You ask her, your voice pitched up as you stare at her in wonder. You turn to Eddie with a smile, taking in his slicked back hair and nicer attire before opening your mouth once more. “How’d you convince our little stubborn princess to wear it?”
“I may or may not have promised her a big piece of cake,” he admits, coming over and wrapping his arms around you. You shake your head, laughing as you play with your daughter’s hair a bit. Robin sets the glass of water down, looking between you two for a moment before reaching her arms out. You give in and hand Kassandra over to her godmother, watching the smile on Robin’s face grow as she begins to dance to the low music playing in the living room, extending your daughter’s arm in an attempt to dance around with her.
Robin makes her way into the living room, leaving you and Eddie alone in the kitchen. His hands find purchase on your hips, tugging you close to him as he dips down to take your lips in his again, making sure to take longer now that your hands are baby-free. You bring a hand up to cup his cheek, melting into the kiss as you taste his minty fresh breath. Eddie sighs, his fingers hooking into the loops of your jeans and trying to tug you closer, leaving no room between you as your bodies press together.
“Alright, alright. It’s still a kids birthday party after all. No need to scar any kids today,” you tease, pulling away from his as you play with his beautiful brown curls. He smiles as you, hands still on your hips as he traces random patterns into them with his thumbs.
“Okay, okay,” he says, admitting defeat. You chortle, looking deep into his eyes before pressing a chaste kiss to his cheek and peeling yourself from him. “I called for pizza on the phone upstairs, so it should be here shortly. Cake is still in the fridge, away from the tiny grubby fingers. Do you need me to do anything?” 
“No, I think everything is handled right now,” you tell him, flashing him a smile. He comes over and presses a kiss to your shoulder, before you both turn to the sound of the door opening. You walk towards the front door, watching Steve and a very pregnant Nancy come into view, your smiles stretching as you greet them. 
“How are you guys?! I feel like it’s been forever since we properly hung out, even if it was just three weeks ago,” you ask, retreating to Eddie, who is quick to wrap an arm around your waist. 
“Yeah, I know! I’ve been pulling a couple weekend shifts at the Hawkins Post since my due date is coming up. Trying to get everything situated there before I start maternity leave,” Nancy explains, extending the gift resting in her arms to you. You're quick to put it on the table with the others, jogging back and nuzzling into Eddie's warm figure.
“I still can’t believe you took the job there after all the shit that went down during your internship back in ’85,” you let out, shaking your head. She laughs, rest her hand on Steve’s arm as she nods.
“Oh trust me, I know. I was really worried about going back but the new management is so much better, and with all the creative freedom I was promised and have now received, helped with the decision. Plus Steve here," she looks to him, smile big and bright as she rests a hand on his arm. "Helped convince me to move back and take the job. And I'm glad I did, I’m really happy there. Hey, is there somewhere I could sit? My back pain has been horrible since the third trimester started.”
Nodding, you lead Nancy towards the backyard, allowing her to take the seat you were sitting in before Robin's arrival. Meanwhile inside the house, Eddie clasps a hand on Steve’s shoulder, a smirk situated onto his face as the two boys watch you make your way outside. Eddie turns to Steve, who has a face full of admiration.
“Can’t believe you’re finally gonna be a dad man. I’m really happy for you and Wheeler. You have everything ready? The due date's coming up soon, right? Couple weeks now?” Eddie asks him.
“You know she doesn’t go by Wheeler anymore, right? Like we've been married for two years now man.” Steve chuckles out.
“Yeah, yeah, I know. Old habits die hard I guess,” Eddie lets out, shaking his head as he walks into the kitchen.
"But yeah, we've got everything ready. Nursery is done and the bag for the hospital is packed. Baby proofing has been done for a bit now, so we're just waiting for the main event."
“That's really great to hear, I can't wait to meet the little guy. You want something to drink, man? We have sodas and water out in the coolers, as well as some juice boxes, and for us adults,” he pulls out a couple of beers. “We have brewskies.”
Steve reaches out, taking the beer from the metalhead's hand and clinking it against his. Twisting off the cap, he brings the glass bottle to his lips and lets out a sigh, relishing in the crisp taste.
“So how was the tour?” Steve asks. Eddie’s eyebrows lift as he tears the bottle away from his lips, nodding as he wipes the small amount of beer dripping from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
“It was awesome! We had an amazing turn out, which was metal as hell. Really happy it happened during the summer so I could take little man on the road with me for a few stops, and he loved it. It was tough being away from Y/N and Kas for so long though, so I’m glad to be back home for a good bit,” he tells Steve, smiling as he peeks out the window at the sight of you, hands moving everywhere as you animatedly talk with Nancy.
“That’s great, I’m happy for you man. And I’m really glad things worked out between you and Y/N. I know it was a bit difficult a few years back, but I had faith that the two of you would work your problems out and get back to being the annoying loving couple everyone knows you to be,” Steve teases. Eddie smiles, a blush creeping onto his cheeks at his friend’s kind words. He clasps a hand on his shoulder again, nodding at the words. 
The sound of the doorbell pulls Eddie from the conversation, excusing himself from Steve as he jogs to the door to greet the pizza delivery person. Grabbing the multiple boxes of pies, he tips them and bids them a good day, shutting the door with his foot as he walks through the house towards the backyard, carefully gripping and balancing the tower of boxes. 
“Alright kiddos, it’s pizza time!” Eddie shouts playfully, letting out a “woohoo” as he sets the boxes down and starts laying them out on the table. He flips open a box and takes a big whiff, sighing in content as the delicious smell flows through his nose.
You watch from your spot next to Nancy as the child line up by the snack table, Eddie taking orders and dishing out the slices, making jokes and hearing the kids roar in laughter. You can’t help but beam at him, which doesn’t go unnoticed by both Nancy and Robin.
“So how have things been now that Eddie’s home from tour? Happy to have him home?” Robin asks, handing your daughter back to you as she begins to cry and using her now free hands to scoot closer to Nancy, forming a small circle between the three of you. 
“It’s been good! Like, really good. I missed him a lot but I know he was out doing what he loves and what was important to him. I'm just glad he's back now so the bed doesn't feel empty anymore. Not to mention that we've-” you look around you, making sure there are no children within earshot before covering your daughter’s ears. “We’ve been having sex like…non stop. It’s fucking amazing, like mind-blowing orgasms left and right, multiple times a day even, but I’m almost worried that I’m gonna get pregnant again if we keep going at it like we have been.”
“Would that be such a bad thing? Do you see yourself having a third?” Nancy asks, letting out some laughs. You bite your lip and think for a moment, before nodding.
“I wouldn’t be opposed to another. I mean, we have room for one more in the new house, so that wouldn’t be an issue. I think I’d want to wait a few more years before trying again though, that way I can soak up my time with baby Kassandra here before trying to tackle that all over again,” you answer, nuzzling into your daughter and tickling her sides, an adorable chortle coming from deep in her chest. The group of you laugh at your daughter’s cuteness, rubbing your finger at her chin to coax more giggles out of her.
“That’s really good! Happy things are working out between you too, really,” Robin lets out, rubbing your arm gently.
“Sorry to interrupt ladies,” Eddie cuts in, sliding in between the small gap of the seats and holding out a plate of food to you. Nancy takes the plate for you as you hand off your daughter to him, watching his eyes become bright and his smile stretching as he makes eye contact with her. He lifts her up into the air, shaking her around and pulling more laughter from her tiny body. You thank Nancy and take your plate, eyeing Eddie and Kas as your heart melts at their behavior. 
The idea that your marriage nearly came crumbling down four years ago felt weird to think back on, considering how things have evolved since then. Some days aren’t as picture perfect as other, and the negative thoughts haven't left your head completely, but it isn't nearly as bad as things were all those years ago. You were content with where you both stood, with the two of you still attending therapy every few months and communicating with one another about certain problems that may arise. But ultimately? You were in a much better place than you found yourself at Christopher’s sixth birthday party. 
Christopher runs up to you, smiling as he shows you his empty plate. You laugh at the boy, tussling his hair a bit as you pull him onto your lap and take a bite of your pizza.
“Hey Robin, do you mind taking a family photo of the four of us?” You ask, reaching over towards the outside side table and grabbing one of the disposable cameras you bought for the party. She nods, taking the device from you as you playfully pinch Eddie on the leg, waving him over as he dramatically gasps.
He sits down in the chair Robin was in, scooting it closer to you and turning it to face her. Resting Kassandra on his lap, he reaches around to lay an arm on your shoulder, bringing you closer as you all crouch into one another, the biggest smiles adorning your faces as you wait for the camera to snap the memory into existence forever. The flash goes off, freezing the moment in time before Christopher hops off your lap and takes off running after his friends. Eddie’s figure stays close to you, leaning in to press a gentle kiss to your cheek before moving his lips closer to your ear.
“I love you so much sweetheart,” he whispers, pulling away with a grin. Looking into his eyes, you can't help the genuine grin that creeps onto your face, handing resting on his knee as your chest fills with awe.
“I love you too baby. Now give me my daughter and go get ready to bring the cake out, you big sap.” You tell him, before moving your own lips close to his ear. “I’ll show you just how much I love you later tonight, big boy.”

Archer x Reader Halloween Headcanons
another year without any archer halloween content, so i'm making my own!
credit to @lovingwanda for the idea :)
How Halloween plans would go with each of my fave characters!
🎃🧛🏽‍♀️👻🧟‍♀️🎃
STERLING
"Batman and Catwoman? Really? Isn't that, like, as basic as you can stoop?"
Halloween, like all festivals, is an excuse for Sterling to get shit-faced. More so than usual, so he's game for whatever dumbassery you've got in mind... plus his own.
More likely than not, he'll wanna go to a strip club. Practically insists on it and whines like a little kid until you give in and agree.
"What? I've never been to a strip club for Halloween. Are you gonna deny me of hot vampire tits now? After you coerced me into this ridiculous outfit? Wow..."
If you got him drunk enough, he'd agree to dress up as whatever you want him to. He might grumble and say you're demeaning him by sticking a pair of bunny ears on his head, but, secretly, he's enjoying it. Plus, those ears attract a lot of attention so... he's basking in it. But he won't tell you that. He can see your little smirks and smiles, but he's so totally not lapping all of it up. No, he's embarrassed! Sooooo embarrassed that he's having suuuuuch a good time with you.
As for trick or treating? As much as he wants to go out and get free candy from strangers, he recognises that he's far too old for such a thing. However, he absolutely will drag you out to "chaperone" AJ and her friends when they go out trick or treating. And takes a 40% cut for looking after them. Then, uses you as a scapegoat when Lana finds out about it. Obviously.
LANA
"Slutty nun is kinda on the nose, no? Also, who told you about that?"
Halloween is a little... overwhelming for Lana. The very idea makes her uneasy, which is ironic for the absolute force she is in and out of the field.
She wants AJ to have a good time, of course, but there's a lot going on with all the mayhem of trick or treating and running about the streets of New York at night. And the fact there are people dressed as murdererous psychopaths, covered in blood etc. Well, that sends her already worrying brain into overdrive.
"Is this a good idea? I mean, everyone does it. Trick or treating. So... yeah... fine... right? Maybe you should come with me. No. You should definitely come with me. AJ would appreciate it too."
She's not one for partying until the sun rises, but she'll indulge in some of the festivities like staying at home, sharing a bottle of wine with you, and answering the door for other trick or treaters once you've both done the rounds with AJ. She leans into the whole domestic mom thing even more and dresses up in matching outfits with you! (whether that's slutty or savoury is up to you...)
Steadily throughout the night, she does get more and more pissed off, though. The constant getting up to answer the door, hearing the same phrase screamed at her over and over, and the general lack of quiet agitates her to no end. Still, she'll try her best not to blow a fuse since she knows how much you enjoy Halloween. She can, after all, be very caring.
ZARA
"I swear to god, if you don't come up with an original idea for a costume, I'm blowing the building up."
Halloween is one of Zara's favourite holidays, if not her number one favourite. She wants to do it ALL, and she's taking you as her prisoner for the night.
First on the checklist (yes, she made an itinerary, it's that serious) are couple costumes. She already has it planned out, you don't get a say in it, she knows your measurements, she's bought you a custom costume and you WILL wear it.
"Aww, see? You look adorable, like I knew you would. Now, smile for the camera."
Then, the night unfolds as such : carving pumpkins, apple bobbing (look it up), witch hat ring toss, Halloween scavenger hunt, and ending the festivities off by rolling around a bar until some truly unholy hours.
She used to go trick or treating a lot as a kid, but she's definitely outgrown that now. However, she always makes sure she has sweets to give the kids who knock on her door. She won't admit it, but seeing all the little kids in their adorable costumes is her favourite part of it all.
CHERYL
"You call that scary? What are you? Five years old? I was reciting Suspiria when I was five, not Hocus frickin' Pocus!"
Halloween for Cheryl imbues her with an especially sinister energy. She's already crazy as it is, but tonight? Watch out.
Due to her strange, eccentric upbringing, she never really had the chance to go trick or treating like a regular, non-billionaire child. She doesn't get the appeal and she has absolutely zero desire to get free candy that was – in her words – bought from a store (the dollar store) she wouldn't set foot in even if she were dying of a disfiguring disease and it housed the only cure on Earth.
"God, that really is a pathetic attempt of a costume. Like, did you even try? A month? This took you a month to put together? Why do you even bother?"
All being said, she will spend her Halloween with you, provided you do exactly what she wants.
That includes : sitting through the most fucked up films you've ever had the misfortune of watching, using a oujia board (since she thinks those are fun and doesn't take your cautioning against 'doing it properly' serious), only saying "trick" to all the kids who knock on her door and laughing in their faces when they don't know what to do, and listening to all her crazy conspiracy theories at 3AM because she refuses to go to sleep and you're now too scared to.
KATYA
"I do not get it... You want me to dress up as... тыква?"
Halloween for Katya is a foreign concept since it's not a widely celebrated holiday in Russia, but she is curious about it.
Most of what she knows has come from various western films, a little from what you've told her, and a little from Sterling. Although, he was mainly talking about the vampire tits at the strip club which wasn't all that useful. So, when you have your first Halloween with her, she's both excited and only slightly confused.
"This costume is scratchy and poorly made. Where did you say you got it from? Spirit? Well, there was absolutely no spirit put into the production of this polyester abomination, I tell you that."
She would love to experience what it's like to go trick or treating, but when you tell her that it's only for kids, she gets super frowny and demands you take her anyway. Which you do 'cause are you really gonna say no to her?
So, when you inevitably end up in a crowded bar, slurping Halloween themed cocktails, she agrees and says trick or treating is for kids... but she lets you in on her candy haul nonetheless.
PAM
"Fuck yeah! Weirdest but hottest couples costume award here we come!"
Halloween, much like Zara, is basically a holy holiday for Pam. Up there with no socks day.
Your agenda is simple : dress up good and drink even better. It's an absolutely foolproof plan.
"You want me to carve a pumpkin? Right now? After I had, like, seven of these scare-o jell-o shots? Alright. Gimme the knife."
Something that surprises you is to find out just how incredible her special effects makeup skills are. She can give you a gnarly gash on your face like it's nothing. That open zip wound thing? Yeah, she can do that too. A pus-filled boil? Pam's your guy. Any gory thing you can think of, she's got you covered.
Once you're done letting her decorate you with some truly horrible looking injuries, you spend the rest of the night at her place, watching horror films, knocking back those aforementioned scare-o jell-o shots that she prepared earlier, and having a damn good time until you both pass out on the couch.
so... yeah! that was all very silly n self-indulgent, hence why i only did my faves. if you want me to come up with stuff like this for other characters or anything else for any character, inbox me! and happy halloween!

Jenna/JJ Walker HCS!
Tumblr media
since I've also seen the other jaylings get their HC posts, now it's JJ and soon ethan's time to shine!!
(most of these are connected to or need the lore post to understand; so check it out if you haven't!)
Jenna, at first, seems like a sweet and shy kid (if you didn't intimidate her), but she's a literal demon once she gets a bit used to whoever she's talking to
^ to continue with the above, she has trust issues, so if you already leave a bad first impression on her or if she just seems wary then she'll have a hard time even standing next to you
and for that reason it was hard to bond with Jay before he got his memories back, he's a person she knows but doesn't at the same time, and it heavily hurt her because she just wants him to love her like his daughter again
she still was able to keep a good relationship with Nya, but it was a bit hard to talk sometimes because of how much Jenna's changed and that they haven't seen eachother in years
she had such a big bond with Cole, so it would be an understatement saying she missed him severely
she was also very close to Kai! Lloyd, compared to now, wasn't very close to Jenna pre-merge but would love to sneak her some candy when Jay didn't let her
Zane was also pretty close, he'd only wear obnoxiously oversized hoodies just to carry Jenna in them
Wu loved spending time with Jenna, and would give her some scrolls to read to improve her Ninjargon! Jenna hosted tea parties with him, too, and would give him a pink birthday hat instead because his current hat was 'too boring' in her perspective
her handwriting was also pretty decent, too
she is touch starved but sometimes needs her space or she'll get snappish, hugs are what usually calm her down
her favourite animals are, well, dragons! she had basically been around dragons her entire life, so she was never afraid of them, other than dragons though she really loves cats!
her blue phonecase even has a cat on it, it's a small white kitty in the middle and she decorated the rest of the phonecase with small stickers (that are mostly Jay's old ones she borrowed, like his pins)
suprisingly tho, her favourite colour is neither red nor blue, it's actually lavender! her second favourite being any shade of gold, she digs those kind of colours :D she only wears clothing that mostly consist of red and blue to match with her family, she doesn't hate those colours though because they're also on her favourite chart
when she was almost 14, she hit her growth spurt and became the second tallest sibling (Noah being the tallest), she couldn't stop laughing at the look on Kaida's face when she realized she's becoming the shortest 😔 (even Tessa is taller than her, and Ethan was already starting to be tall for his age)
she's, unsuprisingly, unbelievably stubborn, and tries to convince herself to not give up too quickly
she has whole boxes of markers, coloured pencils, and paint! her obsession for art is too great, she even asked Lloyd if she could help paint the new bounty
when she'd go out, there would be some paparrazi she obviously did not like them that much, but had grown used to ignoring them
she had so many of those children colouring books and had alot of drawings pre-seabound, and most of them were complete, but they all burned down along with the monastery in crystallized :')
she was a bit anxious about going to school, but was still excited and had enjoyed it! alot of kids had wanted to be friends with her and she didn't mind the attention
she's a theatre kid! would act in alot of plays when she was still at school and she goes absolutely all out when she does, now she isn't so open about that fact but would sometimes sing and dance in secret (she got caught by Kaida one time, and she never felt so embarrased)
her room's walls are painted by her, she painted simple things like landscapes with some dragons thrown in there
she's that sibling who's always got your back, she'd get into fights if it meant that she'd protect you that way
but she is not much of a good listener, wanting to hurry up with things, but if you needed to rant to somebody so badly she'd try
for her whole life, she was very protective of Ethan, their dynamic was good but got a bit wonky during the timeskip because of how dull everything seemed, and because of how Jenna would be in her room most of the time
she loves to cuddle him alot tho and is still able to carry him sometimes, she never realizes that he's heavier than he looks lmao
sometimes, Lloyd would come and find them asleep on top of eachother on the living room couch, the movie they were watching still playing on the TV
and she despises how Ethan never knocks on her door, fsm knows how many times he's jumpscared her when he slams the door open 💀
she loves to pull pranks on people (that people is Kaida) with Quinn and Finn, those three are unstoppable 😎
speaking of that, Jenna warmed up to them eachother quicker than she expected, it just took a while because she was still not sure of them, but she liked their energy and they didn't seem like a threat to her
she was just envious of the two because they spent their entire lives with Nya and Jay, which was what slowed down the process
being very protective of Ethan, she hated the fact she had to share him, so she was very wary of everyone (especially Noah, who she noticed loved to spend time with him) and didn't want him so close to anyone
but when she saw the way Noah treated him gently and had genuienly loved him, and how much fun Ethan had when he spent time with him, she grew to love Noah aswell
Jenna loved to climb on his shoulders before her growth spurt, with him being ungodly tall she felt like she was standing on the borg tower
with all of these fights, she never thought she'd get along with Kaida one day, theur fights would even sometimes get a bit too heated, but once they starting warming uo eachother, and talked in conversations that weren't fights, they both quickly became protective of one another
she doesn't know how to use a gun, she never used a gun before, so Kaida had obviously taught her (Tessa and Noah taught her too when they could)
BUT she does know how to use a sword! she would sometimes train with Lloyd during the merge timeskip, so she has some pretty decent fighting skills and is good with a sword for her age
she has a love-hate relationship with sparring, tho
she hates blood, she really hates blood, but having seen it so many times in her lifetime (*cough* including hers *cough*) she got only a bit used to it
she was scared about coming out as aroace, but nobody in her family is straight (obviously) and neither are the walker kids (obviously #2) and was suprised when they were all so chill
Jenna: Guys, I'm aroace.
The rest of the walker siblings: Cool.
Jenna: ...what-
Ethan: What's an aroace?
during her stay with them, Ed and Edna would teach her how to engineer and how to use unimportant spare parts to make something new, and she was suprisingly a quick learner and it had distracted her a little from what had happened
she is not a great cook in the slightest, she'll break the pan she's using the moment she touches it :'D
she is an avid reader of comics (just like her dad) and finds them to be more interesting and funnier than books, she borrowed jay's starferer comics during the timeskip after the merge and read them all, and god she did not shut up for weeks about it (which made lloyd very proud lmao)
she loves to swim!! her love for it had plummeted a bit after seabound however
but before the merge, she had been taught how to swim by nya quite alot and always loved to go to the beach just to jump in the water (she's that kid to do those massive cannon balls lmao)
and she loves to run too! she'd never back down from a race and is extremely quick, unless you're Tessa or Quinn it's hard to catch up to her sometimes
(I hit that block limit 😭)
EDIT: she, obviously, knows some swear words
she has frequent nightmares from her ptsd (cough crystallized cough near death experience cough fuck I'm spoiling again-) and gets extremely anxious, the pain seems like its still there, and she cannot stay alone by herself for too long or she'll spiral
EDIT: she also has slight pyrophobia from crystallized (try to guess why)
^ during the merge timeskip, when they started happening more frequently, she'd instantly go to Lloyd, but now she almost always goes straight to Tessa during those times. when she's at her lowest point especially, Tessa's the only sister who listens to her and lets her cry it all out which is why she's one of her closest siblings
in fact, Tessa's the first sibling she grew close to!
Nya does know about these problems too, and when Tessa for any reason isn't able to help Jenna heads straight to her
sometimes, when her anxiety gets the best of her too, she talks walks across the monastery courtyard and climbs up and down the stairs a few times, it always calms her down
Tessa mostly uses her a benchpress along with their sisters, so no one is suprised when they see Tessa benchpressing Jenna who's currently on her phone
she's usually comfortable around Finn and Quinn, and begged Quinn to teach her how to fly once she got her powers too
when she and Kaida got along, those hellspawns LOVED to gossip, and would constantly laugh about an inside joke between them while everyone is so confused (me and that one friend meme be like)
like how the brothers have movie nights, the sisters all have movie nights too!!
before Kaida warmed up to them, she'd constantly fight with Jenna during the film and Tessa would try her darndest to shut them up, while Quinn is just focused on the TV while eating popcorn 😎
and if it isn't obvious enough already, other than Ethan of course her favourite sibling is Tessa, but Kaida quickly followed suit
when she'd be bored, she'd grab Finn and Quinn to paint the walls of their room together
whenever she hears Noah talking about Sasha, she goes "nope" and leaves the room instantly
Jenna borrowed Lloyd's old headphones, which she also decorated with her stickers, she only lets Tessa use it
it's easy to tell that something belongs to Jenna, she always has her nickname 'JJ' on her stuff everywhere
EDIT: Jenna also gets an aviator jacket from Tessa! all the sisters have it :DD
in the future, she eventually gets more chill and Ethan will become the energetic one
-
ohh my god that was LONGGG..
bb boy ethan's next!! I'm going to sinai tomorrow though and staying until saturday, so yeah expect him to be a little later on!

The Christmas Spirit
My Hero Academia
Lee: Bakugo
Ler: Mina, Kaminari
Description: The Christmas party with Class 1A is as lively as ever! Except Bakugo, being the Grinch of the class, refuses to get into the Christmas spirit and wear a Santa outfit. Mina makes it her mission to get the grumpy Grinch into the Christmas spirit, but she'll need a little bit of help.
*Contains swearing and death threats
Requested by @queenofcreatures14
Christmas in Class 1A is never boring. Sato was making and baking away in the kitchen, Momo making the eggnog for everyone, and everyone singing Christmas carols. Yep, Christmas was festive for this class and everyone was in the Christmas spirit.
Well, almost everyone...
Bakugo was just standing, even more grumpier than usual, behind a couch. He kept muttering under his breath about how he hated this holiday. He was so into taking crap about Christmas, he wasn't aware of Mina and Kaminari, two of his classmates, sneaking up behind him with a Santa outfit. Mina was about three inches away before Bakugo looked back and saw her. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Bakugo said screaming louder than usual. Mina quickly hid the outfit behind her. "What are you talking about?" She said, acting like nothing happened. "STAY AWAY FROM ME OR I'LL KILL YOU!" Bakugo stormed off in another direction, angrily muttering about how much he hated this damn holiday. Mina sighed. She was so close. "Hey, we have many other opportunities to try." Kaminari said. "We'll definitely get him next time."
They didn't get it the next time. Or the next next time. Or the eight other next times. Actually, they kinda lost count when they got to four. Bakugo was just too damn stubborn to put the Santa outfit on. It was driving them insane. It was so bad they got frustrated and gave up. "What is wrong with that guy? He's being such a Grinch!" Kaminari complained. "He needs to get into the Christmas spirit one way or another." Mina sighed and plopped down on the couch while the others were in the kitchen, waiting for the arrival of their guests. Kaminari and Mina sat there thinking about how they could make Bakugo wear the Santa outfit when someone opened on the door. The door opened, and Aizawa poked his head in. "Hey. Did the party already start?" Someone had entered the room, dressed in a Santa outfit. "Eri Claus!" Everyone ran up to Eri and complimented her. Everyone except the Grinch.
That was the last straw for Kaminari. "Bakugo, what's wrong with you?" "What's wrong with me?! What's wrong with you?!" Mina began sneaking up behind him again. "You're acting like such a Grinch, man! Live it up a bit. Get into the Christmas spirit." "If you say one more thing about that damn-" Mina managed to get the Santa hat on Bakugo. "WHAT THE HELL, PINKY?!" Mina managed to avoid getting smacked my Bakugo and his fist. "TOUCH ME AGAIN AND YOU BOTH DIE!" Bakugo stormed off, still wearing the Santa hat. Jirou and Hunter happened to walk by as Bakugo bumped into them. "Merry Christmas, Bakugo!" Hunter said. "Die, dumbass!" Bakugo yelled. Jirou rolled her eyes and walked to Mina and Kaminari. "What's his deal?" Jirou asked. "He's being such a Grinch." Hunter backed up. "He's just mad because it's Christmas." Jirou smirked. "So, he's still gonna act moody?" Mina turned to Jirou. "What do you mean?" Jirou looked at Mina. "Wanna know how to get him to do what you want?" Kaminari jumped. "Yeah, that's be great! So what do you have to do?" "And how do you know that?" Hunter asked. Jirou smirked. "Well, it all started with Midoriya telling me a story..."
Bakugo was pouting in a corner with the hat in his hand. "Stupid holiday. Why does everyone love it so much?" At that moment, Mina walked up to Bakugo with her arms crossed. "Hey, Mr. Grinch." "What?!" Kaminari jumped from behind and tackled him to the ground. He pinned Bakugo and wasted no time in tickling his sides while Mina scribbled his stomach. "WHahahahat ahare dohOhohohOHohoing?!" "You're smart. You figure it out." Kaminari said. "You have been acting like a jerk all night. And it's time you got into the Christmas spirit. So wear the Santa outfit!" Mina jammed her thumb in Bakugo's belly button, causing him to scream and thrash violently. It wasn't like Mina to get mad at anyone (besides mineta, but he's gone now, and she's glad). So for her to be mad at someone was something no one wanted to see.
"STAHAHAHAP IHIHIT, DAHAHAHAMN IHIHIHIT!" Bakugo screamed when Mina found her way to his armpits. "Hey Kami, do you hear something?" Mina said, acting as if there wasn't a screaming laughing blonde at her mercy. "No, I don't here anything, Mina." "IHI'LL KIHIHIHIHILL YOHOHOU!" "Don't threaten us, man. You're in no position to make death threats." Chargebolt said as he crept towards his ribs and used his quirk to send his all to famous tickle shocks all over the explosive blonde's ribs. "NAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! LEHEHEHET MEHEHE GOHOHOHOHOHOHO, MOHOHORON!" "Only if you promise to wear the Santa outfit." "GOHOHO DIHIHIHIE!" At this point, everyone in Class 1A and 1B was witnessing Bakugo being tickled. Some were cheering, some were ignoring the entire thing, and some were worried about Mina and Kaminari after Bakugo was free. "Man, I wonder who is screaming like a girl." Mina teased. "SHUHUHUT UHUHUP, PIHIHINKY!" Mina ignored him as she dug harder into his armpits. Meanwhile, Kaminari dug into his thighs. Bakugo started kicking wildly. "STAHAHAHAP THAHAHAT*snort* DUHUHUNCE FAHAHACE!" Both classes awed at that. "Man, why didn't you tell me you're ticklish, Bakubro?" Kirishima asked. "Probably because he wasn't not manly enough to tell you." Tetsutetsu replied. They fistbumped and chest bumped. "I'm definitely using this against him." Kirishima laughed as he joined Kaminari and Mina tickle Bakugo by going for his thighs.
After five minutes, Bakugo still refused to give in. Kaminari and Mina were getting impatient. "Come on, bro! Just wear the Santa outfit! It's not that hard!" "IHIHI WOHOULD RAHAHATHER DIHIHIHIE!" Mina smirked. "Then die you will!" Jirou decided to help. "Go for his feet and neck! Those drive him crazy!" Mina and Kaminari stopped to let him breathe and got into position while Kirishima stayed at his thighs. Bakugo lost his attention to his lers and focused on Jirou. "You're...the one that...told them... weren't you?" Jirou shrugged. "Maybe I was." "You little-GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NOHOHOT FAHAHAHAIR! STAHAHAHAP THAHAHAT!" Bakugo's laughter was much higher and his thrashing and kicking more violent than ever. "Man, you have some extremely ticklish feet, Kacchan!" Kaminari said in his Midoriya impression. "I don't sound like that. Do I sound like that!" Deku asked Uraraka, who just shrugged.
Eri came in to witness what has happening. "What's going on?" She asked innocently. "Oh, Mina and Kami are tickling Bakugo." Uraraka replied. Eri nodded. "Does it hurt?" "No not at all." Tsu said. Bakugo screamed. "OHOHOKAY! I GIHIHIVE!" "So you'll wear the Santa outfit?" Mina asked. "YEHEHEHES! I WIHIHILL! PLEHEHEHEHEASE STAHAHAHAP IHIHIT!" Kaminari grinned. "And you'll also be nice to everyone for three months without snapping?" "YEHEHEHES!" "And you'll help me with my homework?" Kaminari asked. "YEHEHEHES!" "And you'll do all of my chores, bro?" Kirishima chimed in. "YEHEHEHES! JUHUHST STAHAHAHAHAHAHAP TIHIHICKLING MEHEHE! I GIHIHIVE!" Kirishima, Kaminari, and Mina stopped. Bakugo curled up into a ball to breathed and get away from them. "Well, Bakubro, let's see how you look in that Santa outfit."
Bakugo cursed his stupid ticklishness. He was now in a full Santa outfit sitting among his classmates and eating some of Sato's Christmas cookies. Only this time, he had a slight smile. Despite his pleading and threats, he found it sorta nice that he got that attention from his friends (although he would never admit that). He thought maybe the party wouldn't be so bad. "Hey, Bakubro! Midoriya and Todoroki wanna talk to you" Kirishima called. Bakugo sighed. Of course, with his luck, he couldn't have nice things.

Oh oh! How would Thanksgiving look in hell with the Hazbin Hotel and I.M.P company (if you write for Helluva Boss)?
Certainly!
Hazbin Hotel'
You know Charlie is gonna deck out the hotel. She's got lights up, she's got a turkey cooking and of course everyone is wearing a nice suit or dress, that's not optional.
Niffty has the place sparkling clean. She was up all night cleaning and still has the energy of a five year old on caffeine. She terrifies me and yet I envy her.
Alastor and Husk aren't really in the spirit (Husk was Russian so he didn't celebrate but oh well) but Charlie still made them wear nice clothes for once. They both looked charming surprisingly.
THEN CAME ANGEL. He didn't put on his suit properly his tits were still sticking out and he had his slacks pulled down to his hip bone. He tried to act flirtatious with Alastor and Husk and was sent to his room for an hour for being a bad boy by Vaggie. Thank you Vaggie.
Speaking of Vaggie, she isn't celebrating because she's too busy with the advertising portion of the hotel's business. She's just too busy but promised to eat something with Charlie later that night.
Overall Charlie went through a lot to celebrate and nothing was set on fire so that's a plus.
I.M.P.
Blitz is like "they just eat food together? Don't they do that everyday?" Yes Blitz but there's meaning behind it. "Fuck that let's party!"
Blitz pulls out the horse decorations of course and everyone has to wear a unicorn hat except Blitz. "This is my Thanksgiving".
Millie is in it for the chance to go to the human world again and steal food like the gremlin she is. She just straight up robs places and runs back to the portal where Loona is waiting.
Loona isn't really in the spirit but thinks it's fun when everyone works together so she'll deal with it.
Moxxie takes this chance to educate everyone on the meaning behind Thanksgiving and goes into a long, deep rant on it. Millie convinced the others to halfway listen.
Overall it isn't much but they have a good time and that's what matters, right?

My Troubled Horsie
(A fic based on this Au)
Warning: This story contains silly self-indulgent fun that's NOT meant to be taken seriously AT ALL.
Philip's face was filled with interest as he sat alone on the couch, watching the TV attentively.
A show about animated horses going on adventures called 'My Troubled Horsie' was currently playing.
While in search for the history channel, he stumbled upon the series by accident and instantly became hooked after the first episode.
It had everything - angst, drama, and, most importantly, a good story as well as good morals.
He couldn't get enough of the show.
He was addicted.
At the moment, he was watching the season 1 finale where Penelope Pony had to inform Steve The Stallion of some bad news.
As Philip continues to watch, Caleb enters the living room.
A smile spread across his face at the sight of his baby brother.
It was evident that the brunette was captivated by the content on the screen.
"I see someone's grown fond of the TV," Caleb lightly teases, only for Philip to deliver a sharp shush, not giving him a single glance.
Taking a seat beside his brother, Caleb whispers, "What are you watching?" as he turns his head toward the TV.
In the show, two horses were having a face-to-face conversation in a meadow.
The mare had a pale violet coat, pale blue eyes, and a ruffled balloon-shaped mane along with a tidy tail. On her head, she wore a pink bow.
Her expression was dull as she looked at the mustached stallion wearing a black top hat in front of her with half-lidded eyes.
"Oh, Steve," Penelope began, her voice flat and monotonous. "I'm sorry, but I won't be able to make it to your party."
"Why not?" Steve wondered, worried.
Penelope sighed before revealing the reason to her friend. "Today, they're sending me to the glue factory."
That line broke Philip's heart. How could they do that to Penelope? She should have been spared. The mare was not deserving of such injustice. Meanwhile, Caleb was confused by the cartoon. He had no idea what a glue factory even was.
In the next scene, a yellow stallion with an orange mane and tail, blue eyes, and an eyepatch was clinging to a helicopter, having just caught Penelope from falling into an active volcano.
Both petrified ponies hung for dear life.
"Hold on, Marco Polo Pony!" Penelope cried out to the stallion.
"I can't!" Marco Polo Pony would confess as he continued to cling to the landing skid.
"I don't have any--"
Penelope's hoof suddenly slips out of his.
The stallion's eyes widen with shock as he watches the love of his life plummet to her death.
"HANDS!" He shouts, reaching a hoof out, but it was too late.
"AAAAAA!!!" Penelope screamed, flailing her limbs around.
This was it.
The end.
She soon shuts her eyes, accepting her fate.
Just as the purple pony was about to hit the lava, the screen cuts to black.
The show's end credits then play, accompanied by happy music and lyrics about love and friendship.
'That was... certainly something...' Caleb thought to himself, still confused about what he had just watched.
Suddenly, he feels something hit his shoulder.
Looking to his left, he sees Philip resting his head on his shoulder, exaggerated tears welling in his eyes.
He starts to sniffle like a wet cat.
The blonde proceeds to awkwardly pat his head.
"Uh, there, there, Philip. I'm sure she'll be... fine..."
Truthfully, Caleb had no clue of the pony's fate, but his baby brother was clearly saddened by that scene, so, being the older one, he tried to comfort him the best he could.
"Maybe they'll make a season 2."

I GOT to learn more about Dolores!
@allyennah also asked this lmao
Tumblr media
Full Name: María Dolores Adelaida Alvaros y Marasigan
Gender and Sexuality: bisexual (cis) woman
Pronouns: she/her
Ethnicity/Species: Half Drow/Half Human
Birthplace and Birthdate: 10th day of Ches 1464 in a small barangay (town) in Cupang, Sina Una :)
Guilty Pleasures: Kids. She would never have them and had nightmares about being a parent but she's fond of them on their own. Like she's so weak to kids. The one time she got utterly mad so far was when Kagha was threatening to imprison and torture a child (like...the eldritch powers truly came out when Dolores was intimidating her to spare the kid)
Phobias: spiders lmao. She would not last a day in her father's homeland in the Underdark. Kar'niss would be an interesting person to meet.
What They Would Be Famous For: She already is (in)famous in the islands of Sina Una for nearly destroying an entire town :).
What They Would Get Arrested For: Murder :) and bc of her pact (which IM still trying to figure out the full conditions) she has been almost arrested in every town she's been in but thanks to the "kind" mercy of the eldritch creature she has a situationship with, she almost always gets away.
OC You Ship Them With: None tbh :) she truly zoomed in at the one person who has been appreciative of her efforts this entire time and has planned out their life together lmao.
OC Most Likely To Murder Them:
Also none. If anything Dolores would probably adopt them.
Favorite Movie/Book Genre:
Comedic plays I'd say. Anything to make her laughs.
but okay okay assuming this in the modern day and they share the same media as we do, she'll be a Romance novel and movie lover! She's a perpetually tired eldest daughter. She'll love the escapism and unabashed joy of a good Romance novel. The Brown sisters trilogy by Talia Hibbert would be her favourite.
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche:
Same idea as the last question...assuming this is in the modern day and we share the same kind of media as they do then she generally won't be a fan of doorstopper books and incomprehensible movies. She can appreciate the artistry of them but that's it lol.
Talents and/or Powers:
Aside from the powers given to her by her patron, Dolores is good at weaving and has knitted shawls and scarves for the camp. (Withers is fond of the hat she made him)
She's also highly organized and good at most housework thanks to her parentification :)). Not that she likes doing them. She still hasn't cooked for the camp because she finds no joy in cooking.
Why Someone Might Love Them:
Dolores is fiercely loyal and wears her heart around her sleeve. She has a lot of love to give. She's also compassionate and a good listener, an open shoulder to cry on.
A lamplight left on in the darkness, leading them home...so to speak :)
Why Someone Might Hate Them:
She can be overbearing, thanks to her wanting to find fulfillment with being needed. It's like something that she clashed with nearly everyone in the party early on bc like...just bc they have problems doesn't mean she has to solve them or god forbid use her illithid powers to read their minds (Gale and Wyll did NOT like that at all). She can be nosy as well and it is something she struggled with Shadowheart at the initially as u know Shadowheart prefers to keep things a secret as part of her calling to Shar.
How They Change:
She learns that it's okay to be selfish from time to time and not to sacrifice herself constantly. She also learns to channel the deep-seated anger she had for her family into something more healing. Like finding peace doesn't necessarily mean forgiving and forgetting the person who has harmed you.
Why You Love Them:
Dolores is like...my answer to most eldest daughter stories I've encountered :)). They almost always are too fluffy and ends with the daughter forgiving and reconciling with her parents after years of neglect and/or abuse. And that is fine I guess but I hate how most of the narrative around eldest daughters is basically that.
Sometimes your parents are abusive and they suck ass. Sometimes siblings also perpetuate the same kind of abuse your parents and living in the same abusive environment does not excuse or forgive their actions. And it's totally okay to have a negative reaction to this, to be utterly pissed off and angry about your situation.
It's fine to be resentful and hate your family. If they didn't want to be hated then they could've spent the entire time you're alive not being...abusive.
And there is absolutely No Need to dress eldest daughter obligations as "a way to show love to the people she cares about." Fuck that lol. Dolores can love and want to care for her family without being forced to give up her freedom to care for her siblings bc her parents suck at being parents.
Without getting too deep into it, Dolores is the most personal OC I've ever made. Moreso than the Ryder twins who were already very personal OCs (but for a different time period in my life and a different set of trauma lmao). There are some parts in her backstory (which I shall eventually post) that are similar to things that happened to me irl. While my family isn't That bad compared to Dolores' own family, a lot of the feelings are still there lol.

Your takes on the squad’s Halloween outfits ? 👀👀
Price will wear whatever his daughters want; fifteen years in a row he's dressed up. From going full Glam-Rock Freddy for his eldest to Bandit Heeler for his youngest, he will spend literally hundreds to make his kids smile.
Gaz loves group outfits. I mentioned this a little while ago, but he loves going to parties with the team and getting all matchy-matchy-- the only issue is that Soap loves pulling fast ones on him and managed to get him to come to the party in a slutty nun outfit. Even with it, he still thought he rocked it (he did, his ass looked amazing) (this happens almost every year)
Soap will try to deny it, but he also loves a bit of boob window every now and again. Gag costumes are his favorite-- so if he's strutting in with stilettos and Shrek clothes, he'll do it. Halloween's supposed to be fun, why not go all out?
Ghost will do the bare minimum. He'll wear a hat, maybe, but he won't want to. With that being said, if a hoard of children run up to him and ask him to dress up as Thanos or Hulk or something, he'll do it.
Roach likes to be matchy-matchy with Gaz, but he likes little changes. Sort of a Rin and Len sorta thing. He also likes the freedom to be silly and get into his interests, so you know what? He will go as Percy De Rolo-- no, yeah, he will get really dweeby with it.
Nadya hasn't gotten the chance to do Halloween stuff in so long, so it'll take some convincing, but she will get dressed up for it. She really really likes doing something subtly with the group; like if they're all going slutty, she'll show off her legs a bit, she'll get some thigh action in there.

Fighter #12 - Jigglypuff
Tumblr media
- Jigglypuff is a sassy little creature. She’s a big diva who isn’t afraid to speak her mind.
- Her most prized possession is a pair of pink star-shaped sunglasses. She never wears them out on the battlefield because she doesn’t want them to get broken.
- She doesn’t know what it’s like to have a nightmare because she’s never had one in her life. Her dreams are always super nice and fun.
- Anyone who upsets Jigglypuff will be slapped into next week. She might look sweet and adorable, but she’s not afraid to throw hands if the fancy strikes her.
- If a fighter is having trouble sleeping, she'll sing them a soothing lullaby.
- Pufferfish are Jigglypuff’s favorite animals. They remind her of herself—puffy and cute, but also strong and quick to defend themselves. She has a tank with three of them in her room.
- Forget props on April Fools’ Day—Jigglypuff can prank people using her voice alone. When someone sits down, she’ll make a quick whoopie cushion noise and run away. At this point, the fighters know that it's just her messing with them.
- Thanks to Ken, Jigglypuff is a HUGE fan of Powerpuff Girls and has tons of merch from the franchise. Even her pufferfish are named after them—Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup.
- She is always the first to sing on karaoke night. Once she has the microphone, you’d have to literally pry it from her hands or else you won’t get a turn. Jigglypuff never gets tired of singing and could perform all night if given the opportunity.
- She is her own number one fan.
- On the subject of fans, she makes for a great cheerleader.
- She's a major contributor to the party planning committee, which consists of all of the princesses, Palutena, Marth, Lucina, Sora, Kirby, and herself.
- When Peach first heard that Jigglypuff evolved with the power of the moon, she took it very literally and wouldn’t let her go outside at night. Red eventually picked up on it and explained to Peach that Jigglypuff only evolves when given a Moon Stone, not when exposed to the moon itself.
- Speaking of which, Jigglypuff loves roaming around outside at night. Every evening, she'll go out and sing to the moon, gracing the ears of anyone nearby with a peaceful serenade. Even back when Peach was adamant about her staying inside, she still found a way to sneak out. Nobody tells her what to do (unless she trusts their judgment).
- She's the type to punch the air in her sleep.
- Jigglypuff loves falling asleep on people. She finds their presence comforting and having them there makes her feel extra safe.
- She’s proud to be part of the original twelve. Since they’ve been with her the longest, Jigglypuff has formed strong bonds with every single one of them. She grew particularly close to Samus, as she was the only other girl in the group.
- Some of her accessories are actually gifts from the original twelve. The sun hat was from Mario, the bow was from Samus, and the flower was from Ness.
- Due to her bubbly and upbeat personality, she appears to be very energetic. However, Jigglypuff actually tires out pretty easily and needs at least two naps a day.
- She is a master at using the curler. If you want curls done, Jigglypuff’s the girl to ask.
- Tropical vacations are her absolute favorite. To her, nothing beats the warmth of the sun on her body as she relaxes on the beach, listening to the waves crash along the shore. She and Incineroar are trying to convince the roster to go on a trip to Alola.
- Leaf is her real trainer, but whenever Jigglypuff returned to Smash Mansion, Red was in charge of taking care of her. It wasn’t until only recently that Leaf decided to tag along for some reason.
- On nice days, she enjoys going outside and catching butterflies with Villager.
- She has tons of slumber parties with Samus. Usually, they start out with Jigglypuff busting into Samus’ room while she’s trying to relax. Initially, Samus will tell her to leave so she can unwind, but one look at those big round eyes and she can’t help but smile and cave in.
- Jigglypuff LOVES ribbons and bows. Samus gets her a new one for her birthday every year.
- Jigglypuff always has a first-aid kit on hand for when fighters receive injuries. She’s an amazing caregiver and will try her best to cheer up whoever she’s treating.
- She’s the type to always pick “Dare” in a game of Truth or Dare. She has nothing to hide; she just enjoys a good challenge.
- She and Kirby have this game where they copy each other for the whole day and the first one to stop loses. The loser then has to buy the winner ten bags of their favorite snack. If Jigglypuff loses, this is an easy task; Kirby isn’t picky and loves pretty much any food you give him. If Kirby loses, however, it’s a different story. Jigglypuff refuses to have anything aside from those apple gummy rings which, for whatever reason, are super difficult to find in the Light Realm.
- She and Leaf like to go fruit picking together. When they get back to the mansion, they’ll bake pies, pastries, or any other fruit-related dessert using their fresh pickings. Sometimes Kirby will tag along too.
- Jigglypuff is currently teaching Toon Link how to flirt with girls. He insists that he doesn’t have his eye on anyone, but she doesn’t believe him in the slightest. She’s dedicated herself to finding out his mystery crush and becoming his wingwoman.
- She sang opera once and made a single tear fall down Ganondorf’s cheek. No one saw except for Jigglypuff herself, and surprisingly, she hasn’t said a word about it.
- She loves giving and receiving head pats. They’re her primary form of affection.
- If something doesn't go her way, her first instinct is to pout. For some fighters, it's too adorable to ignore and they end up just giving her what she wants. For others, Jigglypuff has to resort to more devious methods of getting their attention.
- She and Kirby frequently go for rides on the Warp Star together.
- Her favorite song from the Smash soundtrack is Pokemon Center. It’s upbeat, fun, and reminds her of her travels with Red and Leaf.

Happy STS, Claire! Hope your Disney trip has been awesome. I have a silly question for you today. (If you must know, I want to ask about Ethan, but spoilers, or about the professor, but I'm still processing that delightful story from his POV, so maybe another time.) So. Here we go. Halloween q instead. It's the high school AU. Halloween party. [Redacted] and Louisa are both attending. What costumes are they wearing?
Happy STS, Kate! And happy almost Halloween! Disney was indeed awesome, and definitely put me in the right mindset for this question! (No worries, there will be plenty of time for the tough ones later!) I'm also so glad you specified that we're in the (still as yet hypothetical) high school AU, which makes it infinitely easier for me to answer. 😅
So, Halloween party!
Louisa is dressing up in a flowing white Grecian gown and a golden laurel leaf crown to be gray-eyed Athena, the goddess of wisdom, in anticipation of the much wiser woman she'll someday be. And this may just because I saw Dial of Destiny on the plane AND waited for an hour to get on the ride when it kept breaking down, but [Redacted] is Indiana Jones, because he strikes the right balance for him as both an intellectual AND an action hero. And it goes without saying that he'd just look so damn hot in that hat.

General dating hcs pt.1 (Who Is the Red Queen?)
Links to other parts: Pt.2 (to be written and linked) Characters: Mad Hatter, White Queen, Red Queen.
Warnings: Spoilers for chapter 3 and some chapter 2 content, spoilers for the game in general.
Possible ooc as it is my first time writing for these characters. Don’t repost my writings, reblog instead
Wanna check out my other works? Here’s my Masterlist!
Tumblr media
Mad Hatter
Though hatter isolates herself she's truly lonely and exhausted of the eternal teatimes she has. She only has Dormouse and The Hare, well at least the illusion that they're still there with her. So when you came into her life, willing to spend time with her, willing to talk with her, willing to dance at balls and parties and spend the eternal tea times with her feelings very quickly started pouring into her heart. She still hated the eternal teatimes but they became more bearable with you, she felt the urge to sleep despite being scared too, she started drinking a little less. She knew the affect you had on her and was confused at first. But when your feelings went face to face with hers she finally understood. You soon ended up dating the Mad hatter.
Hatter is very, VERY, touch-starved. She barely interacts with people and most are scared away from her due to her insanity. But because you weren't scared and willing got close to her and weren't afraid to touch her after the dance you shared at the duchess's mansion she started craving more of your touch, she wanted to be held in your arms. Now that you're dating hatter absolutely adores cuddles, though she's often the little spoon whenever she feels like it she'll insist that she be the big spoon for once. Seeing you in peace as you sleep while she cuddles you makes her wonder if she could look like that too when she sleeps and not be endlessly tormented in her dreams or fear something bad will happen when she's asleep.
One talent hatter has kept with herself for almost all of her life is making hats! She's loved making hats for most of her live but stopped making as many around when doormouse and hare died. But now that everything has passed and she's slowly started healing, you can be her personal model! She'll make hats of many different shapes, sizes, and colors just for you to wear. The smile that appears on her face after you finish trying on all the 30 hats she made for you in 3 days is 100 percent worth it.
White Queen
Dating the White queen is almost like a enteral vacation. Everything is very relaxed with her and she brings with her a calming aura that seems to calm everything down even in tense situations. You two spend a lot of time in the gardens together, having tea parties, trying out clothes together, and reading.
Every now and then you two get invited to parties or balls and you two always end up dancing together. Dances with the White queen are magical, even if you don't really know what you're doing she'll guide you all the way and even make your stumbles look graceful. She definitely likes dancing way more then she use too because of the dances you two share. It feels like that she could dance with you all night and never let go among the starry sky. The glowing darkness lighting up around you as you waltz in eternal grace.
Being the White Queens girlfriend also means that you keep the majority of her secrets and feelings hidden when she wants, you can look at her face and read how she feels in a second and even if there are a few slip ups it all ends up okay. You know the fact that she slaughtered the red queen and if anyone else were to find out her head would be taken, so you keep that secret locked away eternally. You don't want you girlfriend being killed because of her freeing wonderland from the Red Queens tyrannical rule. Many lost their lives innocents lost their lives from the red queen by just accusations and the red queen paid for her actions with her life. Despite knowing the dark side of things you still don't despise White queen and would gladly walk around wonderland holding her hand for all of time.
Red Queen
You're very special if somehow you ended up dating the Red Queen (Also probably very lucky and insane-). But to each their own I suppose. Red Queen cares about order and justice over all despite her twisted ways of enforcing it and she expects you to follow her order and justice as well as anyone else. While she may let you break one or two laws once the second time she'll send you to the dungeons. She believes it's for your own good and that sending you there will help you understand her way of justice. Unless you really piss her off your chances of getting your head chopped off are very very veryyyy low.
The Red Queen cherishes every single minute second with you, it's not that she's scared she's gonna lose you but it's that she's totally scared that she's gonna lose you. Though she pridefully takes her position of ruler of wonderland, it is a lonely position. She hated eating dinner alone every day, she hated how lonely things would get, she knew some of wonderland despised her but she could care less. But then you appeared in her life, you didn't fear her, despite her insanity you loved her. Now that you've shown her love her twisted brain clung onto it and now it's not letting go until it absolutely has too. Even simple things like working on paperwork together, eating dinner together, or even sleeping together at night, she cherishes it all.
Every morning her long blonde hair becomes a mess due to how much she shifts around in bed and it's a hassle to take care of. Though she may not vocalize it at first she wants you to brush and do her hair, she's curious about what it feels like to let someone else do it for once because she never lets servants touch her gorgeous hair and she wanted to relax a bit more before she had to do her duties as queen. Eventually she vocalized her want and she didn't regret it one bit. Your hands gently brushing and putting the red bow she always wears into her hair was like a dream come true to her and once you finish she'll reward you with a little kiss on the cheek thanking you.

spare north to the future christmas/holiday headcanons? or i guess if you wrote them they would be canon? anyway here are mine, in the order of character appearance ❤️ hope you like them
when it's just her and appletini, jen makes paper snowflakes at the vet's and puts them up everywhere. she'll give a bottle of non alcoholic mulled wine to appletini, who'd have nothing to give back to jen (she is brainrotting thinking about aegon, obviously). embarrassing.
appletini tries, maybe succeeds in dragging aegon to her folks' house for christmas dinner. if he does decide to come, she'll definitely do that thing where she pats him down before entering the house with him and of course, brushing that lock of hair behind his ear. can't have that escapee getting out in front of her parents, so inappropriate!
aegon probably spends his last bucks buying something small but personal for sunfyre and appletini, then in the evening goes to ursa minor to beg for dale to put another ten rum and cokes on the tab "in the spirit of the holiday". sings christmas carols at the bar and sounds heavenly even when he's drunk. he also loves to make snow angels. fight me.
sunfyre is just happy to run around the snow and tries to eat it, hopefully no bears steal his full course meal! also if there is wrapping paper, he will tear it to pieces. keep him away from the christmas tree. (of course, everyone will forgive him once he curls up at their feet)
heather does the MOST with her christmas outfit and makeup, full mariah carey, holly jolly queen. she would love to hang out the whole night with the girl troupe at the bar but kind of understands that not everyone wants to get wasted on christmas. but she still makes the biggest effort to get everyone together bc she loves her girlies.
appletini's parents spend the whole day preparing christmas dinner together, placing mistletoes at convenient places for aegon and appletini to stumble under, making calls to neighbors to wish them a merry christmas. appletini's mom and dad also reminisce about how they fell in love and gossip about the two lovebirds.
joyce is eagerly awaiting new books for christmas, so eagerly in fact that she just buys one herself. she may not necessarily even read it right away, she just needed one to feel alive. goes with the current, doesn't care about any specific plans as long as she has her book. secretly likes the magical feeling of christmas and excepts something special to happen, though it may never!
kimberly got presents for everyone. she gives me rich girl vibes. definitely gave appletini some slutty clothing to slut that girl up slutty, saying the present was "really for aegon". probably got joyce something gothy like a skull shaped candle and some necklace/bracelet for heather with text that says "slut xoxo"
trent wears a christmas hat for the entire day and looks like an actual big elf. he gives appletini bacardi breezers for christmas without realizing that she would not indeed down them all that second and that they'd rot in the fridge until the end of january. he also buys a few drinks for aegon bc well, they are bros. the two also play patty cake while sitting on barstools and dont ask me how that ends up
the ice fisher is ice fishing, because, well, um, it's christmas. no murder allowed!
THIS IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!! and are you sure you don't live in Juneau, Alaska in 1999 because I swear it's like you know these characters and party with them at Ursa Minor 3-4 nights per week 😂😂
The thought of Appletini forgetting everything except Aegon, like 😭 "Christmas what? Jesus who? The birth of our savior when? Sorry I was preoccupied planning my wedding to a man I just met who might be a murderer. the color scheme will be green. we will live in my parents' basement."
The Ice Fisher does not necessarily respect major holidays...
You will get to see Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Valentine's Day in the NTTF universe! Although they might not happen the way you would hope... 👀
Chapter 4 is over halfway done and will hopefully be ready in the next few days! 💜

Happy STS! I hope you’ve had a good week :) what kind of clothing do your OCs wear? Do they have a fixed aesthetic, or do they just wear whatever they feel like wearing?
A belated happy STS to you too, Captain! And I am so overjoyed you asked me this question, because I love talking about my characters' clothing!
Jade Shaw is a grown-up goth chick. She wears a lot of black and purples, and generally wears dresses or skirts unless it's not practical to do so. As an adult she'll buy whatever cheap thing with skulls or pentagrams she finds online.
(please see @artbyeloquent's amazing depiction of Jade in such an outfit)
Caz Mraz insists that, unlike other vampires, he's never gotten stuck in a certain era, but all his outfits are pretty reminiscent of the 1940s Rat Pack era of Las Vegas (as well as the flamboyant outfits of mobsters like Bugsy Siegal). So lots of nice suits, often three-piece ones, with ties and handkerchiefs and a fedora-style hat (and a pair of nice wing-tips). He especially likes grays and blues, but he'll wear just about any color that looks good on his pasty body.
One of my favorite descriptions of their outfits:
“Why are you dressed like that?” she asked, when he finally strolled up. “I told you this was a party.”
He glanced down at the thatched pattern overlaying his gray, three-piece suit. A navy-colored tie was tucked neatly into the vest, paired with a shirt in robin’s-egg blue. It was a good suit and — dare he say it — very flattering on him, and he said so to Jade.
The witch locked her truck and fixed him with a glare that should have burned the clothes right off him.
“Do you not own a pair of jeans and a t-shirt?” she asked.
“What am I, a house-painter?” he replied.
He had nothing against house-painters, but Caz had earned his last coin with manual labor nearly 600 years ago, and intended to keep it that way.
Jade started down the sidewalk without him.
“Maybe you’re just jealous I can pull off this print,” he said, following behind like her stretched shadow. “Or that this shirt brings out my eyes.”
“Your eyes are silver,” she said.
That shut him up. After all these years, he still forgot his eyes had been drained of their color. Leave it to Jade to unknowingly sink her claws right where it smarted.
“You look nice,” he eventually said, since he could never shut up for long.
She really did. Jade tended to wrap herself in black dresses or skirts and various trinkets. Whether that was to mark her status as a witch or not, he didn’t know, but it certainly made her fearsome. She had once mentioned allegiance with one of the forces that sacked Rome. It fit. When Caz had first seen Jade — her lips and eyes painted black, the tattoo on her shoulder, the metal stud through her mouth — he would have offered his head on a platter if she invaded his village.
Tonight she was wearing a black dress with straps that formed a pattern over bronze flesh, and her lips were purplish in color. Her eyes, as always, were that dark amber. They were burning into him now in response to his comment.

We did it!!! Xillia 1 is complete and I think we had a lot of fun along the way 😊 here's the recap, as usual:
We did have to finish up some sidequesting first, like talking about Leia's dad's cooking which was very cute. Apparently Jude has been living in Fennmont for a while because he said he celebrated his most recent birthdays there. So he basically left to pursue medicine when he was like 12????
Also I forgot to mention this last time but Princess Carrie's husband is named Julius, which seemed like a weird coincidence given the sequel, but they're obviously not the same person because you meet this Julius and he's an old man. Still, could they be related? He IS an Elympion from Trigleph 🤔
We also tried the colosseum group battles and cleared the beginner level no problem. My sister liked unlocking the top hats and had everyone wear them the final battle.
Unfortunately, the second level of the colosseum with all four Chimeriad (3 of whom were supposed to be dead?) was too much for us. Together they are genuinely harder than the final boss.
We were about 30 black feathers short of completing that sidequest 😫 I was hoping we might find some more in the final dungeon but nope.
Compared to fighting the four of them, Wingull alone was too easy and we both kinda laughed at that. Sis: "We're mocking AND killing him. Aren't we supposed to be the good guys." Me: "THEY [the party] are. WE [the players] aren't."
After defeating Wingull, he drew his sword. Sis: "Is he going to kill himself or attack again?" Wingull: *does both* Sis: "I guess I was right"
She kept worrying she did something wrong when we seemingly had to fight Gaius and Muzet alone. "Was I supposed to look around more??"
Tbf we DID have a glitch after beating Wingull. For some reason Jude was floating way above the map but when we moved we were back on the ground where we were supposed to be. No idea how that happened.
Also my sister did very well at the solo fights! Her combos were effective, but also spamming Swallow Dance just like I did 😅
I forgot that each party member shows up one at a time and uses their mystic arte. It was nice too because we hadn't even seen Leia or Elize's, we never played as them though they were in the party.
When Alvin shows up to fight he says that he finally found where he belongs 😭 we are so proud of his character growth
After finally beating them, my sister was STILL hoping the party would kill Muzet. She could use some of Alvin's character growth 😅
Alvin was the most upset about Milla's plan to become Maxwell. Sis: "Does he have a thing for Milla? Or does he just have abandonment issues."
She thinks Jude should become a spirit too. Not sure how that would work but it would be a cute AU
Isla's husband ends up starting a company with Alvin. Sis: "It's because he's used to partnering with traitors."
Now Rowen is basically doing Wingull's job. Her: "So is he planning on killing Gaius too?"
Her most hated characters were Muzet and Agria (and Teepo, of course) and her favorite was Alvin, but she also liked Jude and Rowen and Elize. Leia was accepted eventually, Milla was ok too
Elize put Teepo away in a box. Me: "Look, it's your happy ending." Her: "I wish she had done that at the beginning! So does that mean Teepo won't be in the sequel?" Me: "No he is." Her: "WHAT?!"
Jude sends the messenger bird to Milla. Sis: "How is it going to get there? Is it a spirit bird?"
Milla swats at Jude's hand like a cat. Sis: "Aw, she left him sparkles."
The sky is still clime green. A great pun to end on.
And with that, we're finished! So what next? Xillia 2 is definitely an option, though I'm a little unsure how much she'll like it given her stance on whiny characters (and Elle is... Elle.) I still want to try Berseria, I think she'd enjoy that story a lot. But ultimately it just depends on her schedule. We likely won't play another Tales game for a while, but I'm hoping we will again someday. Thanks to everyone who read these little updates of my sister's and my adventures!! :)
Xillia masterpost here.
