cw | fluff, slightly suggestive (like barely), not proofread at all i’m posting this at 3:27 am :,)

“A gift?”
You stared down at the velvet box Suguru held out in front of you, puzzled; had you forgotten an anniversary and failed to get him a gift in return? Or had he done something wrong and gotten you a token to preemptively apologize before confessing? You couldn’t recall such an occasion that required a gift—Valentine’s Day wasn’t for another month, and it wasn’t your anniversary any time soon, either.
“Why?”
A soft chuckle escaped the lips of the man before you, raising an eyebrow at you, amused.
“I can’t get you gifts anymore?” he inquired. “C’mon, just take it.”
Suguru motioned for you to take the box in your hands, a small smile pulling at his lips (he always had one when he was around you). He watched, amused, as you took the box cautiously, eyeing him through your lashes before flipping open the lid, your eyes widening at the sight; inside sat a dainty necklace with a sakura charm and, alongside it, a small, circular, flat cut of metal that had the date of your anniversary engraved into it.
“Do you like it?”
You looked back up at Suguru upon hearing his voice, eyes still wide with surprise.
“This looks so expensive, Suguru, you didn’t have to get this for me.” Your tone, laced with guilt, prompted the man to frown slightly.
“I saw it when I was walking around the city with Satoru, it made me think of you,” he said simply, moving to stand behind you, his chest against your back and his chin on your shoulder as he, too, gazed down at the piece of jewelry. “It reminded me of—”
“Our first date,” you finished for him, a small smile making its way into your lips. “The sakura festival.”
“Mmhm,” Suguru hummed, pressing a gentle kiss to your cheek. “I got it engraved to make it a bit more personal—I know you like that stuff.”
“Thank you, Suguru, so much,” you said gratefully, turning your head to glance at him to the best of your ability given the angle at which he stood. “I love it, really.”
He simply smiled in response before gently removing the necklace from the box, letting you put it down before taking a small step backwards to put some space in between the two of you. The cool metal charm touched your chest as it laid it against your skin, clasping the chain behind your neck with deft fingers. He placed a soft kiss to the back of your neck before his hands grasped your shoulders, turning you slowly to face him.
“Beautiful,” he hummed, a satisfied smile on his face as you bit back a bashful grin. Leaning in, you pressed a chaste kiss to his lips, relishing in the feeling of his hands roaming your body before settling on your waist.
Pulling away after a moment that lasted far too short for Suguru’s liking, you laid your forehead against his, one hand against his cheek while the other toyed with your new accessory.
“I love it, Suguru,” you spoke sweetly, “but just because we’re dating doesn’t mean you need to drop this much money on me, I feel bad—what can I even do in return?”
The man’s lips pulled up into a smirk, a mischievous glint in his chocolate-brown eyes.
“I can think of a couple of things,” he teased, chuckling as you rolled your eyes and playfully hit his chest. Suguru leaned in towards you, his lips brushing against yours.
“I love you,” he whispered against your lips, eyes opening to gaze down at you, smiling at the warmth that filled his chest at the sight of you.
“I love you too.” Your eyes fluttered open as your gaze met his, so full of affection that it made your heart melt and your knees weak.
You loved Suguru; the way he held you, spoke to you, looked at you, kissed you; he made your heart feel so happy, so full of love for him that you weren’t sure if you could even call it your own anymore, and you felt content knowing he held the same love for you—it was you and Suguru against the world, and you wouldn’t have had it any other way.
Tumblr media
i definitely didn’t write this because of this one pandora necklace i saw that has been plaguing my thoughts bc of how pretty it was (and definitely not because i’m insanely insane for suguru).

Steve is an excellent gift giver, ask anyone in the Party, and they’ll tell you all about what they got from Steve for their last birthday. They’re not incredible gifts because of how much he spends on them or how fancy they are (they’re usually not very expensive and aren’t very fancy). No, they the best gifts because they’re useful.
Steve is a HUGE believer in giving practical gifts. He only gifts things that he knows his friends are going to use, things that they could probably buy for themselves, but Steve likes to give them to them instead.
For Dustin’s 15th birthday, Steve gets permission Claudia to teach Dustin how to drive. (Claudia says yes of course, because as much as she loves her son, she was not looking forward to being an a car with him at the wheel just yet Possibly ever.)
For Robin’s graduation, he buys her a new set of luggage so that when they go on their Hot Girl Summer Roadtrip that they’ve been planning (and eventually when she needs to move into her dorm) she’ll have a place to pack her stuff.
For Christmas, he buys El a bunch of different colors of glitter glue and film packs for the Polaroid camera Jonathan had bought her for her sracpbooking.
He spends an entire year saving up all of his quarters to give to Mike on his birthday, because he knows that Mike can never find any when they all go the arcade. (Mike can’t even pretend that it’s a bad gift, he wants to, but he can’t.)
It’s not just holidays and special occasions either, if Steve is out and about and he sees something that he knows one of his friends would love he buys it and gives it to them. Just because.
He’s at the sporting goods store getting himself some new running shoes and sees a set of sweat bands in Hawkins High colors and gets them for Lucas.
He notices that there’s a whole in one of Max’s gloves in the middle of December and buys her new pair to slip into her coat pocket when she’s not paying attention.
When he’s helping Joyce cook dinner for the Party one time and he sees her frowning at a old dented frying pan he goes out and gets a her new stainless steel one to see place the old one.
After everything Vecna and Upside Down related has been settled for good and he and Eddie have become tentative friends Eddie learns about this particular habit and skill of Steve’s. But he doesn’t realize at first that it’s Steve who’s giving him gifts.
It starts simple, a new pack of Eddie’s favorite kind of ballpoint pens that he used for everything (song writing, campaigning writing, and occasionally even doing his homework) slipped into his backpack, timed perfectly, as he had just used up his last one.
He doesn’t know how they got there, and tries to recall if he had bought them himself and just forgotten about it, but he doesn’t think he did. He decides not to question it too much though, why look a gift horse in the mouth?
The next thing he finds is a new notebook left in the passenger seat of his van after a hangout with the whole crew, again timed perfectly, he wanted to write a new campaign for Hellfire soon and needed someplace to write out all his plans.
He knows that it’s a gift this time because he sees a sticky note on the cover that’s says, “For Eddie :)”. He doesn’t recognize the handwriting, but he smiles at the wobbly little smiley face his anonymous gift giver has drawn.
The next gift comes in the form of a black velvet scrunchie, stuffed into the pocket of his leather jacket. It must have been put in there at some point when it was hanging up at Steve’s house during their group movie night that weekend. He uses it to keep his hair out of his face and because he thinks it’s cute.
Eddie starts to figure it out not long after that.
He and Steve are hanging out together, just the two of them, not for the first time. Eddie is playing his guitar on his bed while Steve is telling a story on the other side of the bed. They both startle one of Eddie’s guitar strings snaps with a loud twang. Eddie sighs, knowing that he’s gonna have to go get new strings soon now. Steve leaves not long after that with a goofy smile and a wave “good night”.
Two days later when Eddie gets home from Hellfire, he finds a pack of new strings taped his the front door without a note and Wayne has no idea how they got there. But Eddie knows. Who else could it have been but Steve?
And Eddie realizes that maybe all of the little gifts that he’s been given over the past couple of months were all Steve’s doing. Steve Harrington, reformed jock, ex-douchebag, genuinely good guy. Steve Harrington who’s Eddie has been trying gish best not to crush on ever since he had seen Steve wearing Eddie’s vest in the Upside Down.
Operative word there being “trying”, Eddie had been failing miserably and had gone and fallen for the guy against his better judgement. He couldn’t help it! Steve was just so nice and funny and thoughtful and HOT and Eddie was only a man, okay? He had been powerless to resist the Harrington Charm.
He goes to Steve’s parent’s house after he restrings his guitar with Steve’s gift to confront him. He’s not upset about the gifts, he’s just confused. Because why would Steve be paying such close attention to Eddie that he can buy such useful things for him? Why would he spend his money on Eddie at all?
When he opens the door Steve doesn’t look surprised to see Eddie there, but he does look nervous, which gives Eddie pause. Why is Steve nervous??
“You got the strings then, i’m guessing?” Steve asks, stepping aside to let Eddie in.
“Yeah, I got the strings, Steve. They kinda hard to miss, you taped them to the front door,” He teases as Steve closes the door behind them, neither of them moving to step into the living room.
“Well, I didn’t want you to miss them. We’re they the right kind? I wasn’t sure which kind to get so I asked the guy at the music store and he helped me figure it out, but if I got it wrong just eat me know and I’ll go get the right ones,” Steve isn’t looking at Eddie as he rambles.
“Steve,” Eddie cuts him off, feeling brave.
“Yeah?” Steve looks at Eddie now, and he can see the mix of fear, anxiety, and hope shining in Steve’s eyes.
“They were the right kind,” Eddie smiles.
“Oh, good,” Steve exhales. “I’m glad.”
“Steve,” Eddie says again, quietly, trying not to spook Steve who is clearly already nervous. “Have you been giving me gifts this whole time?”
Eddie is delighted to see Steve blush. “Uh, yeah, I have been. I do that a lot, I like giving gifts to the people I care about, I guess.”
“Steve,” Eddie can’t help his smile as he repeats Steve’s name again.
“Yeah,” Steve agrees, like Eddie had asked his opinion on something. His eyes are wide, the hope that Eddie noticed in them earlier has grown.
“Stop me if I’m wrong,” and Eddie really must be braver than he thought, because he leans in and kisses Steve.
Steve kisses him back almost immediately, and it’s not rushed or forceful. It’s soft and careful, no urgency to it, and it makes Eddie dizzy with how perfect it is.
And Eddie can’t help but think that this is by far the best gift that Steve’s given him.

My favorite thing about Punn calling Muang daddy is that no one has questioned it? Not Ashi, not their manager, not daddy’s doctor, not even stupid Title they all just accept it like yeah that tracks Muang is Daddy
The reason they don't question it, Anon, is because they can't argue facts. Muang is a single dad raising his adult child.
Tumblr media
Cutie Pie and Naughty Babe's Yi is still my favorite Indulgent Daddy, but Muang is so close to taking the number one spot that Yi should be shaking in his perfectly fitted pants for the rest of Naughty Babe's season because this exchange in Be Mine, Superstar's finale sent me over the edge.
Tumblr media
Punn's friends questioned Muang being Punn's dad for two seconds then purchased first class tickets on a direct line to DaddyVille. One of them even knew it was Muang, yet still called him "dad"!
Tumblr media
AND I LOVE IT!
Tumblr media
Muang really brings the daddy energy! He scolds Punn. He teaches him lessons. He always answers his phone when Punn calls, and he always helps Punn out NO MATTER WHAT. That's a dad.
Tumblr media
Muang is daddy to his doctor,
Tumblr media
but he is dad to his adult child.
Tumblr media
And he indulges all of his son's whims. If Punn wants to go to Japan tomorrow, Muang is going to make that family vacation happen, TWICE.
Tumblr media
And Muang still has time to be an All-Star MVP quarterback the way he stays catching everything stepdaddy doctor throws back.
Tumblr media
This man nor the fandom knows the doctor's name because the only name the neighbors hear being screamed through those walls is "daddy" so why would he question Punn calling Muang "dad"?
Tumblr media
Daddy IS "daddy" no matter the time or place. He might be an actor and a top-tier quarterback, but regardless of the situation, he will always be an indulgent daddy.
Tumblr media
And that's my favorite kind of daddy.
Tumblr media
Because they are givers.
Tumblr media
Amen.

I need to study but I keep getting hit with oc visions. Crimson we are really in it now
#What if you were the protag of a crime sandbox game and you’re just minding your damn business having fun creating a criminal empire#with the big twist of the game and your character being you’re actually a woman who was pretending to be a man the whole time#to be respected by all these damn mission givers in the mob#And your game is popular. nice and popular. gets a lot of sales even. so it gets rereleased#and then re-released. and re-released. and it’s been years since the company made a proper Sequel because you brought in so many profits#So not only are you getting tired of the monotony of replaying the same story time and time again but the world is too#and it turns out a lot of the world never liked you to begin with. they didn’t like the twist. people hate it.#because not only are you a woman. but you’re a masculine woman. in a male dominated video game franchise.#so your entire existence is now vitriol as the world wants the new protagonist already they want the new game and they’re sick of you#and then what finally kills you is a botched remastered that fully solidifies your fall from grace#and now all you have left in the void is your car.#and all you have ever know was crime. to steal and kill. to create chaos and wake up in the hospital after being ‘wasted’#This is all you are. All you have is the capacity to hurt others. You are a criminal and nothing else#Now go scam more fallen game characters in the void; buddy.#You need five dollars to get a burger!!!#anyways.

Fake Fic titles:
-Search History: How to Get a Demon Out of My Garage, Demon in Garage has Started Crying and Sizzling is Bad?, How to Stop Demons from Crying, How to Unsummon Demon From Garage
-Apocalypse Eyes
-No Friends? Build Your Own
-House Arrest
-Piano Man
Search History: How to Get a Demon Out of My Garage, Demon in Garage has Started Crying and Sizzling is Bad?, How to Stop Demons from Crying, How to Unsummon Demon From Garage
(I love this title)
Why isn't the internet helping him?! It was a joke! A stupid youtube video idea! HOW IS THERE A FLIPPEN DEMON IN HIS GARAGE?!! AND IT WON'T STOP CRYING?? THE WEIRD TINY YELLOW AND BLACK DEMON IS CRYING IN RANBOO'S GARAGE. AND SOEMTHING IS DEFINATELY BURNING? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!?!?!
or Tubbo a tiny bee hybrid thought it would be funny to play a prank on the human Ranboo he secretly lives with but bent his wing while chasing them around the garage and now it hurts.
this would just be a lot of screaming in fic form I recon
Apocalypse eyes
mmmm no idea's for this one apart from Giant XD with many many many eyes. that's all I got lol
No Friends? Build Your Own
Tubbo has always liked to build things. Elaborate machines, fixing trinkets, a very much not model bomb that was totally not a police violation.... YEP! Loves to tinker.
But he's lonely
So what do you do when you know how to build things? Build your own friend!!! He's been working on getting the robot to move and walk about with a little remote control, next comes artificial intelligence. *looks at clock. It's 5am* Maybe in the morning... *wakes up and walks into work shop* "Hello new friend. How are you today?" "I'm well Tubbo, how are you?"
*Tubbo staring in shock.* "WTF?!?!?"
or Tubbo is lonely human. Tommy is lonely tiny who decides a giant robot is the perfect way to make a new friend.
SOMEONE WANNA STEAL THIS? TAG ME TAG ME TAG ME!!!
House Arrest
Philza is under house arrest. It's boring. No one to talk to, nothing to do, just him and the occasional 'visit'. At least the crows would come by with gifts. Rings, gold nuggets, the occasional emerald, a tiny diamond man, feathers for quills, bits of iron... wait. go back
A tiny diamond man?
I thought it would be funny to just throw Smcykeppy in there lol
Piano Man
A tiny tommy lives in Wilbur's walls and constantly gets to hear the musician play. He adores them. For Tommy, its like he's living at a free concert where he gets to hear a songs progression from start to finish.
So to hear his idol struggling over one of his songs just won't do. He should record something to cheer them up!
So with all his might, he jumps across the piano (the only instrument he can semi play at his size) and plays a few miscellaneous notes which he manages to record.
When Wilbur comes back, he has no idea why there's this random piano recording on his computer but he swears he here's some very quiet muffled slurs in amongst the cuts. It's quite amusing. But the recording itself would work really good on this bit of the song here...
(I have so many more ideas for this one but I'm stopping here)
Anon these were fabulous. I loved these!! No friends, Build your own and Piano Man are definitely two fun aus I kinda wanna dive in and write. Maybe I will, maybe I won't who knows!

[Dear lord this will be a big one. Enjoy your time here I suppose. Why was I included in this blog why Birdo why would you do this to me I thought we got along]
[If you’re not familiar with us, we’re from a multiverse known as The Birdhouse. We are inter-dimensional beings created to fulfil small roles in said multiverse.]
ooc: looks like this
[Introductions below]
[The Narrator]
[That would be me. I hate this. The Narrator, I narrate things, insane.]
[Pronouns He/him]
[Please don’t include me in this Birdo i’m begging you please it’s annoying enough having to exist with the other ones in your mind and on google docs don’t add an anon blog too]
[The Cameraman]
[The Cameraman, not much to be said tbh. Your eyes into this world]
[Pronouns he/any. Normally addressed in second person anyway]
The Guide
[We’re really going through them all, aren’t we? Uh. Walking exposition, also possesses people to give exposition. Also knows the ins and outs of the multiverse too I guess. Any movie/videogame critic’s worst nightmare]
[Pronouns she/any]
— The Interviewer & The Reporter
[Twins of the group, also possibly the most annoying little shits to exist. Interviewer interviews people on current events, Reporter reports things. Not sure how well they’ll do their jobs here.]
[Pronouns for both are They/them]
~ The Therapist ~
[Local parental figure that everyone loves. Default form is slightly nightmare fuel but you get used to it after a while. One of the few people I actually tolerate honestly. Good on them. Role, as always, is obvious: they give therapy in a private pocket dimension that not even the Writers can access. Form can change to suit the client’s needs and/or wants.]
[Any pronouns]
The Conductor >
[An interesting fellow. Owns a train that travels around the multiverse as some sort of inter-dimensional public transport. Not nearly as nightmarish as normal public transport fortunately.]
[Pronouns he/they]
[/The Knock-Off\] [currently copying. me.]
[Fucking bitch asshole I want him to die. Keeps copying me and other people stop doing that they’re not even good imitations I don’t care if that’s your role you need to stop]
[Anyway, pronouns reflect who he’s copying]
The Milkman
[A weird guy. Not sure what to think of him. Partially Off-Scripter I think? Not entirely sure, don’t think he is either. Delivers milk specifically across the multiverse]
[Pronouns he/him, but he says he’s “jazzy on it though”… whatever that means]
The Delivery Man
[A nice guy, pretty normal, especially compared to his co-worker, The Milkman. Delivers things that are not just milk across the multiverse, including groceries, mysterious boxes, people, creepy death omens, and the like.]
[Pronouns he/him]
The Gift Giver
[Used to have their own account. Low key thought they were dead for ages honestly. Reasonable enough, I don’t mind them.]
[Pronouns any]
