𑁍 Svt as your bf
Requested: Nope
Genre: Tooth-rotting fluff
Warning(s): None
Requests are open!
S. Coups
P R O T E C T I V E asf!
Someone's bothering you? He's there!
Would give you advice on how to handle the situation if he isn't there.
Clingy little booger.
Cozy, rainy day
You two were laying on the bed snug as a bug!
You laying on his chest listening to his heart beat
Slowly both of you guys falling asleep (watching twilight cause duh lmao)
When I tell you this man would run out and get you snacks at 3 in the morning...!
You want chocolate chip cookies? He's got you!
You've got him too though.
He's having a rough day at work? You're there giving the best moral support/advice you possibly can
You guys are so supportive of each other! 😭
When he's driving — hand on your thigh
So touchy!
Wonwoo
Quality time is his vibe
He's playing video games, you're off doing in the same room
Comfortable silence
Sometimes though, he wanted a lot of attention
When he wanted it, he would do it in little tiny ways
He'd hold your pinky in his
He'd start playing with your hair
If you didn't give the attention he'd pout about it until you did. Very cute
Mingyu
This man is the definition of golden retriever!
Loves to be little spoon
Not that he can't be big spoon, this man refuses to be!
Occasionally, he will be if you need it
But for the most parts, it's him.
The literal definition of empath
You're crying? He's crying while trying to comfort you.
Your excited about a new game coming out? He's just as hyped about it as you are
Date nights at least once a week assuming he isn't on tour
He's mostly planing them
A lot of them are fancy too!
When you guys are out in public, he's holding onto you in some way
He's holding your waist, your hand, even the sleeve of your shirt if need be
Anywhere he can touch → he's touching
Buys you flowers very often!
He just loves you sm! 😭
Vernon
Chilled out
A little too chilled out at times.
You remember how they said he'd eat sandwiches everyday if no one cooked for him?
Well, neither of you knew how to cook.
The guy was okay with eating sandwiches everyday if you made them
You didn't even do anything special with them
Just that you made them made them taste better to him
Maybe made with love?
Never got jealous really
He knew who you were going home with at the end of the night. He knew you'd never leave him for someone else
He had complete trust in you
Joshua
Kind and gentle type
Very romantic!
He'd made you a scrapbook with all of your firsts together for an anniversary present.
There was even a pressed flower from the very first bouquet he'd gotten you in there!
He'd take you on romantic get-a-ways when you were both very stressed with work and needed a break
He likes to comb/brush your hair.
Sometimes he's even shampoo your hair for you!
He would help you whenever you were cooking in the kitchen.
He loved to bake sweets for you to eat!
Jeonghan
Loves to cause a little bit of trouble for you!
Absolute prankster
He'd gotten sick one time and kept trying to get you to give him a kiss
Every time he'd attempt it, you'd dodge him but in the end you'd ended up getting sick because who could resist him?
He would even sometimes draw on your face when you were sleeping
Of course, you'd do the same
It was a playful goofy relationship
The best kind in my opinion
But when things got serious, they got serious
He knew when to stop the act and behave accordingly
The absolute best!
Woozi
Obviously, not big on pda
Definitely the one to initiate it, though, because he doesn't want to make you uncomfortable with it.
When he's working late in the studio, you'd drop by and hang out with him until he's done
Often ended with you passed out on the couch lol
He would ask your opinion on what you thought of what he was making
He valued it so much!
He took some of your advice when you offered it and vice versa!
When he was frustrated with work, you'd force him to take a quick break and take a nap with you. He was constantly over doing it!
Dude needs a break!
Seungkwan
Sassy, sassy, sassy
You dish it out, he takes it and vice versa!
Little he said / they said tiffs
More like the "I love you more" "no I love you more" type of vibe
He loves to gossip with you about all your mean and rude customers/coworkers/patients etc.
"I cant believe [insert name here] did that! Oh my God, how are they not fired yet?!"
You're fired up about a situation, so is he.
He likes to play argue with you, know what I mean?
Almost an enemies to lovers situation when you guys first met
He was pretty blunt when he's met you.
Nothing rude, just the way he was saying things was more direct than what you were used to so it rubbed you the wrong way.
Sooner or later it got cleared up obviously because you guys got together
Cute feisty relationship!
Dk
Big Ole ball of energy/positivity
You having a bad day? Not anymore!
Will literally do anything to see you smile
This man particularly hates to see you cry. Breaks his heart!
You'd come home sobbing because you'd gotten scolded at work for forgetting to clean up one thing, it was an accident
Seokmin would be right there trying his best to comfort you "You want me to go yell at your boss for you?" he'd joke
You'd laugh a little and tell him no.
He'd set up a little movie date at the house for you.
Binge watching whatever show you that cheered you up the most
You wouldn't leave his side the whole night
Hoshi
Maybe a little possessive
Jealous when you are giving others more attention than him!
Not like off the rails psychotic jealous
More pouty than actually jealous
It's so cute though
One time, you'd been talking with Dk about something silly.
Soonyoung had walked in seeing the two of you laughing your asses off
The little puffy cheeked man was huffy
He plopped down next to you and pulled you close to him giving Dk the stink eye 😭
Dk sitting there like ?????
Bending himself backwards to make you happy!
He doesn't even have to!
He just does it because he wants to keep you!
His philosophy is "you keep them, how you got them" (I hope that makes sense)
You treat him the same way!
Junhui
Another golden retriever!
Himbo energy lmao
He loves to make you laugh in any way he possibly can
This dude will make himself a whole ass clown just to even get you to crack a hint of a smile!
For date nights, he picks out your outfits
They aren't always great but you know, he made an effort and you always wore them because it was so sweet of him to do that for you
Couples shirts are a must!
Not everyday but pretty often.
They're usually corny, though
Like one time he'd bought you a shirt with his face on it and he'd had on the one with yours
Treats you so well!
Minghao
Not lovey-dovey but would shower you with acts of service and quality time!
Loves it when you're just hanging with him while he's painting or maybe even doodling and you're doing your own thing
Just being in the same space with you brings him peace 🥰
Date nights are something similar.
Except you guys are doing an activity together.
Maybe yoga, maybe ceramics
For some reason, I think pottery is something you guys would enjoy together
He's there putting the slip on your nose playfully!
It's adorable! Ajdndj
Dino
CLINGY
A little koala lmao
Constantly at your side
Maybe a little codependent
You know those anxious dogs that follow their owners everywhere and get annoyed when they leave a room?
This is him! But in a less dramatic way lol
You're in the kitchen cleaning dishes? He's sitting on the table talking with you or maybe helping you.
He's so cute
He's down bad for you!
All because you've got his heart!
He'd even ditch practice if you called him telling him you'd had a bad day.
Coups would be upset about it lol
But Dino didn't care. He knew you needed him!
He'll do anything for you!
A/N: May start a tag list? If you want to be added, lmk through ask , and I'll add ya! Requests are open!
Feedback is welcome!

OMG UR RECENT ZACK LEE WORK IS SO GOOD I NEED MORE PLS AND YES WE LOVE ZACK !!!!! i love the other boys as well but zack hits diff esp bcz he’s one of the first characters introduced 🥹
Ty!! i'm glad you liked the last Zack piece! AGREED he def hits different, part of the OG group, just makes me feel a bit nostalgic for the simpler times. How about some Lookism boys first date HC? Including my faves as well of course
Lookism First Date HC
(Zack, Goo, Gun, Samuel, Jake, Johan - a lengthier Vasco gen + romantic hc here)
Zack Lee
Classic movie and coffee/meal guy (as seen with Mira)
Honestly probably the only guy that would opt for the typical teenage stuff (which isn't a criticism!!)
Will absolutely dress up and style his hair (also as seen with Mira)
But give him absolute and complete free rein? Would LOVE cheesy and domestic shit
Matching outfits, tandem bikes, couples cooking lessons, tour of Seoul so he gets to experience everything with you, farmers market, reenacting home life in IKEA (like 500 days of summer if you've seen it)
Builds up a lot of it in his head but tbh doesn't even care. Just spending time with you? On your own? <3
Would literally want to do anything and everything with you
Goo Kim
Theme/amusement park
Thrill seeking and high-energy to suit this blonde
Tbh a bit too much for a first date as it's an ALL DAY EVENT, but Goo's a bit much anyway
Face paint, character ears, character costumes - he would happily do the whole thing. Think Vasco at Notte World.
A little bit of cash flashing with fast passes and whatever bribery required to get to the front of the queue
Takes a LOT of pictures. More of the mascots and place than you two though
Buying and feeding you all the fun character foods + snacks
Gun Park
Spa. He is so high-end, exclusive, full spa experience
The downtimes we've see him with Goo are surprisingly chill and matches Gun's vibe more than Goo's
Jacuzzis, hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, massages, manis, pedis - literally anything and everything so you're a puddle at the end of it
Uses it as an opportunity to relax as much as to get to know you
He appreciates a good body, but doesn't check you out as much as you expect and NOWHERE NEAR as much as you eye him up
Keeps his sunglasses on the whole time
Samuel Seo
Tell me this guy wouldn't be out to impress
Completely dressed up, flowers, chauffeur
And there's no way you would be paying for anything at all. He'll even pay for your shopping trip for the date outfit.
Books the most exclusive restaurant in town. Not just that, either opts for a private room or just books the whole place out just for you two
Definitely will involve a helicopter - either to get you A to B, or a night time tour of the city
Will definitely put out on a first date (no judgement). This man exudes sex, let's be honest
Jake Kim
Night time drive and stargazing
Look this might sound sketchy as hell for a first date but it's Jake, he's not a stranger
You already know him but this is your first official date. You both can talk to each other without the chaos of Big Deal and revel in the peace
Super intimate and surprisingly romantic. It's soft and comfortable, he'll be making you laugh a lot
Will take you to a non-sleazy lookout point to look at the stars and maybe share a beer
It's easier for him to be vulnerable with you especially under the cloak of night
Johan Seong
Hiking or picnic or just walking around a park
If this is a first date there is no way that Eden and Miro aren't coming along
The pups might know you already, but this is a big milestone and it needs to involve his babies
Awkward but so endearing. Very skittish. He's not familiar with this sort of situation and blushes a LOT
Absolutely rubbish at small talk or making the first move - you can tell he obviously wants to and likes you though
You best make the first moves unless you want to tiptoe around forever

ALSO!!!! Any ideal wedding inspo for the twins mayhaps?? I know me and Education Alert only have $20 to our name, but I’ll make it work 💪😼
EDUCATION ALERT LMAOOOO
Answer is under read more cause it’s kinda long
Hmmm… Diva actually— I don’t see getting married? Or at least not the traditional marriage. If her partner wanted one, she’d just go with what they’ve planned. But that doesn’t mean she’s NOT romantic.
I imagine it’s more of— the two of you driving around a new city, on a road trip together, in a rented convertible with the rooftop down, listening to your guys’ favorite music on the radio. It’s night time with the city lights on, and you both are either heading back from having fun all day or heading to have more night fun at wherever. I think she’d talk about how much fun she’s always having with you, and that she wishes it can be like this for the rest of your lives. And when she brings out the ring,
Tumblr media
It’s a little silly, but they’re still really cute— matching rings. Like I’ve said before, she’s not the traditional kind of girl that wants to get married, but she would still confess her love and her want to stay committed to you— she just wouldn’t care for the whole ceremony thing. I also think she’d do this if you guys were dating for like 3 years.
Here’s some photos to fit the vibes
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As for Eddie? Id say he wouldn’t see himself getting married since he’s never really… thought of himself in a relationship before either. It’s all still very new to him. But if you were together for 5 years, yeah— he wouldn’t mind getting hitched.
I think Eddie would want it to be perfect, but since he has NO idea what he’s doing? He’d either let you do most of the planning OR he’d base it off the pictures and stories of his parents’ wedding.
His parents’ wedding in his eyes is the most ideal because his parents are still very much in love and happy with one another. Their wedding also fits a lot of his preferences; small and intimate, nothing flashy or expensive.
Still, he’d want it to be perfect for the both of you— so if you have any changes you want to be made, you guys will figure something out.
I imagine the rings he has are actually his grandparents’ rings, that his grandpa passed down to him when he heard his eldest grandchild was ready to settle down. They’re simple and not that grand, but it holds a lot of sentiment for Eddie. (Yours would be his grandma’s on the left, his is the one on the right :) )
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And the wedding would look something like this, in a church with his family and friends and yours. (I like the decorations of one and two, but the vibes of the third pic)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nothing too crazy, just you and him— all your loved ones, and even though he isn’t religious, part of him doesn’t mind having some higher being watching over them on their special day. It’ll certainly give him a chance to thank god for allowing him the chance to finally love and be with the only person he’d ever imagine himself with.
This is what he’d wear (in this shade or a dark grey— loid looking ass)

+ he had a warrior cats phase
+ he helped the rest of them study for all their finals, and he doesn't like to brag, but it's DEFINITELY the only reason why they passed
+ he spends the most time at the dojo, his dad works a lot, so it's just easier for him to stay at the dojo and help out with different classes / help around the mall

Fragrances I think Sailor Moon would wear….
Tumblr media
Moonlight by Ariana Grande
Tumblr media
This is Ariana’s least talked about perfume in my opinion, and it’s truly a shame because it’s the best smelling one in this particular line with the bottles that have the puff ball design. Not saying its her best fragrance over all, just my favourite in this line. The only drawback is the longevity isn’t the greatest, you will have to reapply or use some lotion or perfume oil to layer it with that will boost it’s lasting power. The smell of this though, is so worth it even if the lasting power isn’t great. Makes for a great scent to wear to bed, because if you wear it just before bed, how long it lasts doesn’t really matter. But i mean, i feel from the bottle, to the name of it, to the notes, this fragrance is USAGI in a bottle. It has usagi written all over it. The purple iridescence on the bottle gives that very 90s sailor moon pastel colour palette so frequently used as backdrops in the anime. The puff ball on it, is almost representative of a rabbit’s tail or her buns on her hair. It’s called moon light. It smells sweet and she is a huge sweet tooth. Could this be more fitting for her? Anyway, I’ve rambled unnecessarily about the bottle’s design but lets get into the thick of it. The notes. So this smells sweet definitely but not as young as it’s two other counterparts, Ari and Sweet like candy. This one has a more sultry edge. It opens with plum and black currant, which are juicy and delicious. The middle notes are soft marshmallow and peony and i think these notes especially have Usagi written all over them. Very soft and sweet. Marshmallow especially is a note I associate with her very much so there will be one more fragrance with marshmallow in this list as we move forward. The base notes are vanilla, sandalwood and amber which give this a maturity not many of the other fragrances in this line carry. This is delicious smelling but strikes me definitely as a night time fragrance. I think usagi would take a shower before bed, and use the moonlight shower gel and lotion before finally spraying the perfume. (If you’re thinking of getting this fragrance PLEASE get the shower gel, lotion, and body mist too, layering them all will help it last longer.) I can also see her wearing this to an evening date with Mamoru. This fragrance gives dreamy sleepy night time vibes. It’s romantic and elegant. She’s a romantic at heart so i can see her spraying this on any birthday or valentines cards she writes for Mamoru so that he remembers her, and she probably sprays this on her hair brush before passing it through her golden locks so he gets a whiff of it when he hugs her. Its a very pretty perfume that merits a hug for the wearer honestly. You want to hug whoever wears this because its just so lovely. I would wear this at night too. I mean it’s called moonlight. Yeah this is her romantic and cosy night fragrance for sure!
Live Irrésistible Délicieuse by Givenchy
Tumblr media
This is her every day, day time scent. The one she wears to school or when she’s hanging out with her friends, when she’s just being Usagi and not Sailor moon. If she were a real person and you met her, I think you would smell this. We all know she’s a huge lover of food, especially anything sweet. This girl is a sweet tooth so it’s no surprise she’d want to smell as delicious as the desserts she eats. She’d want to smell irresistible and this is exactly what this perfume encapsulates. Also the juice in the bottle is pink, and this is her colour. Its a very youthful carefree fragrance and what better match for our teen protagonist. The main player note here is definitely the cherry, it stands out the most but this fragrance has an interesting french pastry note which makes it heavier than the typical fruity perfume. Most fruity perfumes are usually reserved for the summer, but i feel it is one that can be worn year round. The caramel, vanilla and almond at the base give it body. Its rich but not cloying and sure to satisfy a sweet tooth. Sad to report though, that this is discontinued. ( I hear Mukhalat by Montale is a decent dupe for this, but it contains strawberry instead of cherry) I’m pretty sure you can still get it some places online if you’re a lover of cherry and absolutely need this in your collection but I’d grab it quick. (If it’s any consolation, there are plenty of other cherry based perfumes, so missing out on this isn’t the end of the world. I can make a post for cherry perfumes if any of you guys are cherry lovers, just let me know.) Some lotions this would be very well paired with are fruity ones I suggest maybe the body shop butters and lotions? Something in their strawberry or mango ranges. I can see Usagi pairing this with these lotions or a simple vanilla lotion.
Moon carnival by Vilhelm Perfumerie
Tumblr media
This is a brighter tropical floral, and the perfect summer time perfume. The white florals give it a delicate yet robust tone, and the citrusses at the top along with that tropical passion fruit note give it a brightness that’s classy yet very fit for hotter weather. This would be perfect for a summer day or a summer night. I have never been to Japan but I know and have heard that the summers can be intense and humid, and seeing as Usagi is from Japan, I think she would be drawn to a fragrance like this during the summer. It’s also appropriately named. I can see her wearing this to a summer festival to compliment her yukata or to the beach or to a picnic. I’ve heard many say this makes for a great wedding perfume. Especially if you are having a spring or summer wedding, something about it is so classy. It has a creamy soft quality thanks to the marshmallow and vanilla notes. Remember I said Usagi would be a sucker for the marshmallow notes? This is her expensive marshmallow perfume, and the Ariana Grande one is her affordable marshmallow perfume. Of course she is a high school student but she is also a princess, so i think it won’t be that far fetched for her to acquire this perfume. Or maybe it was a gift from Mamoru? Who can say? But I feel this is her choice for summer and a possible contender for a wedding fragrance in the future for her.
Luna by Penhaligon’s
Tumblr media
Now, we’re at the final boss perfume. This is her princess mode perfume. It’s also on the expensive side but not a ludicrous price range for a fragrance. Plus she’s the princess of the moon, i think she can handle it. Penhaligons has a few fragrances themed around Greek and Roman mythology and since this anime sort of does too, I couldn’t find a more perfect fit. The bottle and scent totally give a dreamy, ethereal, princess serenity vibe and what a perfect fit to wear with that Dior inspired 1992 palladium dress. Can’t you picture her wearing this fragrance and that dress and looking over from her castle balcony? Are you getting the other worldly, dreamy vibes? I certainly am. Anyway, on to the notes: It like many fragrances, greets you with a light and refreshing burst of different citruses, lemon, bergamot and orange, so the opening is cheerful and bright, then we get to the middle notes the delicate rose, juniper berries and jasmine which give it a feminine softness, it’s definitely very refined, something you could see a princess wearing. The base notes are balsam, musk and ambergris which are refreshing, clean and woody. There is definitely something dreamy and magical about this fragrance. It's relaxing and gives a spa or altar vibe, you know? A truly romantic fragrance too, I can see this working as a wedding fragrance if you are going for the ethereal fairytale sort of theme. This is definitely her past life fragrance. Something she would be seen getting teary eyed over because of the memories it evokes for her.
🌸 As always if you want to see more fragrance match ups for characters you love or for yourself, hit me with an ask! 🌸

Oh, Dick taking Jason to rooftop dates and romantic trips
A trope I adore with Dick and Jason is their flirting/dating including a lot of playfulness. Which directly translates into games of chase, ahhhhhhhh. Just an easy, lighthearted competitiveness - equal parts taunting and teasing until one or the other is able to close that distance. Hands catching each other, arms around waists, grabbing one another straight out of the sky. Then it's just tumbling across rooftops, or sitting on high ledges as they catch their breath. Cackling because it's young and dumb and wonderful.
And Jason being all enamored because Dick is especially handsome when his hair is all wind swept. And Dick being just as taken because there's nothing more striking than the flush on Jason's cheeks, the breadth of his smile, the heave of his chest. ˉ̞̭(′͈∨‵͈♡)˄̻ ̊
Their 'dates' aren't anything over-the-top, usually. It's always more private; a mundanely intimate affair (because really? it's what they can manage with what time they can manage and it's not nearly enough, but they make it work; they always have). It's meals stolen between over-full schedules, hidden away on the corner of rooftops, legs dangling over high ledges - sun warming their skin. It's them catching naps when they can, tucked in close to one another with any suitable structure at their backs to hide them from view.
It never fails that anything more gets interrupted, but they try. Rooftop picnics at any time of day to watch the sun rise, the sun set; to watch clouds pass or airplanes flying overhead in the night sky. Calling one another to weird vantage points to overlook all manner of things: dumb, comedic, sweet, saucy. It's them watching a screening at a drive-in theater from an awkward angle. It's them watching the pure romance of a couple dancing in the privacy of their apartment - blinds open wide and warm in the yellow light and Jason swooning in the most quiet of ways because they're lost in each other; it's him getting embarrassed when Dick sweeps Jason into a slow dance of their own to match (only there's no music, just the wind rushing through the air, whistling in their ears and pulling at their clothes) and Jason ducks his head because his heart is beating overtime and Dick just leans his head against Jason's and slows them to a sway and ahhhhhhhh.
This is already so chunky and I haven't even gotten into romantic trips ffffffffff. But okay here we go the romantic trip!Dickjay portion!!
(Side note: I vaguely remember plotting a whole WtMBU/N&R verse short on Dick planning a trip to the EU for Jason's bday and them being on that flight together and ahhhhhhh airport!fluff is so sweet but focus focus focus).
❣╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯❣ Dickjay Trips ❣╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯❣
Immediate digression because ahahahaha probably on family vacations these two do the most to be so over-the-top embarrassing. Just anything to shame poor Tim and Damian (and Bruce). Flashy outfits, socks and slides, coordinating; millennial bops and vibes amplified. Joking about the mile-high club (out of ear shot of Bruce because Jason would die. Again). Just being absolute menaces, as big brothers do lol.
Okay digression done. On their own, these two are a lot more chill and endlessly more covert hahaha. Regardless of where they go, they would enjoy each other's company though. Neither of them really care to stay still, so they have a good time with a strong mix of more physically demanding activities mixed with more educational (historic, cultural, etc) experiences.
(Basically: hiking to see nature's wonders or a stunning view of the city!! Museum viewings where Jason is enthralled and Dick appreciates it all, sure, but his attention is stolen entirely by Jason tbh. If wherever they are is known for some craft, taking a class together and making xyz and ahhhhahahaha both turn out crappy so they agree that's Bruce's souvenir.)
Just these two doing all sorts of new things together. And being able to (generally, depending) express themselves as boyfriends which isn't always an option back home. Because no one knows them this far away. It's just them and who they want to be. It's not that the affection comes easier, but there's no deadline to it; nothing to pull them away, or take their time. It's just Dick and Jason and ahhhhhh.
Though lbr these two would work remotely to an extent undoubtedly and they'd gripe at each other about it, only some time later they'd be called a hypocrite for doing the same damn thing lol.
(Photos!! The both of them take great candids of each other but anything that goes to the family is downright moronic lol).
Another semi-digression. But Dick actually knowing a lot of languages (conversationally) from his time with his circus trope. And Jason getting a little blushy about it because hot damn. He's not used to his competency kink showing up in this sort of fashion - how far is their hotel from here hello???
What they'd enjoy most is wandering off the beaten path together though. Be that the countryside, tall brush golden and up to their thighs, tickling their fingertips or even just within the city - empty streets, tripping over cobblestone and swinging around lampposts into one another's space.
Extra: Dick and Jason souvenir shopping towards the end of their stay. Them buying thoughtful and beautiful things for Alfred and Cass and Duke, but Tim and Damian? Ahahahaha, they make it a game of who can find the tackiest thing, or what would make their two brothers cringe the most.

(Also, tell me why I think they're both stoners 😂 I would love to smoke with them)
Heyya!🍞 please don't be nervous, promise I don't bite 😋🍀 and of course! I'm happy to write for these underrated dorks♡ The two of them certainly do give off stoner vibes 🤣🤣Sorry for the long wait on this and hope you enjoy~

Headcanons: NSFW and SFW - Penguin x S/O x Shachi (Poly)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Warnings: NSFW (Threesome, implied double penetration, lowkey exhibitionism, overstimulation)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media
🐧Penguin🐧 & 🍳Shachi🍳 - SFW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
🐧🍳 Penguin and Shachi are pretty relaxed when it comes to their relationship with {Name}, both developed a crush when {Name} had first joined the crew. Originally they both regarded it as a passing interest, maybe because {Name} got along really well with them. It became pretty obvious that it was more than just the way one would think of a friend. Penguin and Shachi had confided in one another due to their feelings. In the process of which both had admitted how they felt towards {Name}. Neither wanted to damage their relationship with eachother nor did they want to let go of {Name} until Shachi suggested that they could both date {Name}, permitting they were alright with the arrangement as well.
🐧🍳 The initial relationship had its notable honeymoon phase and its fair share of unfamiliarity and awkwardness. As all relationships start, there is the need to learn about one another. The preferences, boundaries and just random things about each other as well. Thankfully the three balanced each other out well and managed to settle comfortably into the relationship without any hardship.
🐧🍳Penguin individually truly is a textbook romantic, he valued the ideas of dates and spending time together. Planning outings, giving little gifts and tokens as well as remembering every anniversary. He is also very proud of his shiny and fancy pebbles collection. One of his little tokens to {Name} for their 100 day anniversary was one of his favorite pebbles.
🐧🍳 Shachi is a bit of a polar opposite in comparison because he preferred spontaneous displays of affection and spending time together. Often there wasn't a date plan more of a 'we'll see how it goes and where the night takes us'. Although food accompanied these dates more often than not. It was rare if Shachi planned something not involving food. He also had a habit of making up little songs to sing to {Name}
🐧🍳 Was not all that unusual if Penguin and Shachi had little bouts of conflict in regards to what they wanted to do. {Name} didn't mind all too much so long as they could all spend time together, they were agreeable to most plans unless it really caused Penguin and Shachi to start fighting. The fight consisted of whose choice or idea would be better. It never really spiraled too far out of control though. {Name} took precautions to make sure it wouldn't get to that point. Usually by making a suggestion of their own they could reach a peaceful consensus.
🐧🍳 One of the more friendly natured competitions that arose between the two is one of contending for affection and attention. Sometimes it is very chilled and other times it's very obvious that they enjoy capitalizing {Name's} attention. It's more accurate to say they are like puppies it's not done out of spite or any unpleasant intention. They genuinely just love getting attention from {Name}.
Tumblr media
NSFW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
🐧🍳 They can be an equal mix of subtle and bold, Penguin and Shachi will dance around the topic, subtly hinting to wanting {Name}. They will drop very obvious hints here and there, more often than not riling themselves up in the process all the while {Name} plays dumb to all of it. Solely to watch just how far Penguin and Shachi will push themselves, rile themselves into such a worked up state before outright telling {Name} exactly what they want and are going to do to them.
🐧🍳 Penguin and Shachi are very familiar with one another due to years of working in almost perfect tandem in combat. They use that skill in the bedroom as well. Solely focused on pleasuring {Name}, coordinating their actions for the greatest capability. They love the moans that they are capable of eliciting from {Name}, and wanting to watch their partner lose their minds to ecstasy. Personal incentive fuels the two but also the fact that it turns them on so much as well is a bonus. The underlying moral of the story: Penguin and Shachi are quite big with overstimulation. For {Name} and themselves.
🐧🍳 Penguin adores biting, hickies, just anything to leave marks on {Name's} body. He tries to leave marks everywhere he can, Shachi who noticed this habit got a bit jealous. To combat that jealously he will leave marks of his own. Both will absolutely lose their minds if {Name} is the one to initiate and leave marks on Penguin and Shachi. They will wear it like a badge of pride, unabashed about their hickies, bite marks and even scratch marks. If there is any complaint it's usually as to why {Name} didn't leave more.
🐧🍳 The usual way of going about things is threesomes, but that's not to say that Penguin or Shachi won't try to capitalize on {Name} when the opportunity presents itself. Both Shachi and Penguin could agree that having {Name's} sole attention was quite pleasant. It they felt like being pampered and they would try to create situations where they could enjoy {Name} all to themselves.
🐧🍳 Very open to each other's tastes and kinks, including exploring and experimenting with some new things. Once Shachi randomly decided to kiss Penguin while {Name} was beneath them, getting a front row seat to their make out session, and accidentally got a nosebleed. Penguin and Shachi took note of this, the fact that {Name} would get turned on when seeing them kiss and made sure to occasionally put on a little show, exclusively for {Name}~♡
🐧🍳🍋 Penguin, Shachi and {Name} were so occupied and tied up with one another they didn't pay attention to anything happening outside. They were far too focused on sharing and indulging in the pleasure of the situation. {Name} let out little moans and whines feeling the way Penguin and Shachi thrusted at opposing paces. {Name's} back felt the warmth of Penguins chest while he sweetly kissed their neck. Shachi placed a kiss on {Name's} lips, the feeling of being trapped between the two of them while being driven to the edge again is pure bliss. They tried to keep their voice down but struggled to do so when everything was just driving them mad with lust. The languid pace, and calm kisses seemed to contrast the overwhelming feeling {Name} experienced. The occasional chuckles from the two men seemed to prove the intention while watching {Name} come undone again. They all decided this on a whim, truthfully neglecting some of their chores in the process for a little private time. Their clothes didn't remain on for very long the moment they were in the room. The little sounds and touches that drew each other wild, knowing all the little sensitive spots to rile them up. For the most part they tried to keep it tame, tried to keep it quiet as to not disturb their crewmates with knowledge of what was going on behind closed doors. Law didn't really seem to get it, he knew that three of his crewmates were skipping out on chores and would be damned if he found them skipping out again. He saw the closed door, and didn't think twice before opening it. Law was greeted by the interesting scene of {Name} pressed between the two pirates, a mess of entangled limbs. He awkwardly stood there not knowing where to cast his eyes, even if he wasn't looking, the sounds made it obvious as to what was going on. Penguin looked back and nonchalantly greeted him, "Oh captain!" Shachi chirped, {Name} was far too occupied to greet him and they sank their teeth into Shachi's shoulder to keep their voice in. Penguin and Shachi let out strained grunts and gasps feeling {Name} tighten so much around their cocks. Law turned around, shut the door and immediately deleted the sight from his brain. "Shachi didn't you put the sock on the door?" Penguin inquired, his hand trailing up to play with {Name's} chest. "Hm? I did, see its over there" Shachi pointed towards the door, the sock hung on the handle... of course on the wrong side.

Hello, it is 1 am as I am sending this but I was hoping for a matchup!
I would like a romantic matchup please
My name is Vance, He/They, Bi
I have a very quiet but bold personality which means being reflective and observant, able to consider the long-term ramifications of actions. I participate in Theatre, golf and play guitar, I like drawing, writing, being outside, history, the "old fashioned" way of doing things like cooking ect, the color green, traveling, forest. I dislike arguments, how the internet has made people act, being rude in general. I am a very hyper person, I am quiet when you meet me but warm up quickly if you treat me like a person. I do not have a type.
I hope this works and I hope you have an amazing Day/Night!
- Vance 💚
Hi Vance! You submitted your matchup request twice, I simply went with the first one you sent, hope that’s okay!
I match you with...
 Husk!
Tumblr media
You didn’t give me a lot of information so I had to go mostly by vibes; with that said though, I think Husk is a good match, because he shares some of your personality traits. You’re both observant, you pay close attention to detail and you’re quick to notice changes in the behaviour of other people, and you tend to be more on the quiet side at first though you’re not afraid to speak your mind.
You’ll be quick to warm up to Husk because he’s genuine and he honestly likes you, which means he’ll let you express yourself around him.
You might have a couple arguments with Husk, but he's good at finding a way to amend things in a quick manner.
He loves your hobbies; he’s an old man...I see him being interested in golf out of all things. It’s a somewhat relaxing activity and you two can talk about this and that while you practice it.
Absolutely enjoys theatre as well! I’m not sure what kind of theatre we’re talking about, but surprise him with a date there to see a magic show and he’ll have the time of his life. He’ll be smiling the whole time and will even be able to explain to you some of the simple tricks they do on stage.
He appreciates your love for travelling and will tell you all about his travels when he was alive. It’s really fascinating to listen to his stories late at night, while everyone else at the Hotel is sleeping soundly, the bar illuminated by a dim light and with a drink you can take a sip of once in a while in front of you. You’ll be too enchanted by his stories at some point, forgetting about both the drink and the hours passing by.
Your habit of doing things the old fashioned way is very attractive to him, though he might not tell you directly. He’ll watch you with a fond smile instead, gently swaying his tail when you look his way.
You two will have little concerts where you play the guitar and he plays the saxophone; these instruments make for magical, old-timey melodies, everyone else at the Hotel will be charmed by them.
Husk loves your art, whether it comes in the form of drawing or writing. When it comes to your drawings, he’ll definitely want to hang them around the bar as decoration. If you let him, you’ll definitely find him staring at them sometimes out of pure admiration for your skills.

Hi!~ :3 Any Preston/Thad cute headcanon for this poor baby? (i'm the baby and love ur fanfic!)
I gotcha baby.
1.) Preston kissed Thad first and when he did Thad nearly vibrated himself into oblivion.
2.) Thad's not really into comics like Preston and Bart but he will still let Preston rant to him about them. He likes listening to Preston's voice and him being excited about something. When he was in Craydl he didn't really get to see or experience a lot of joy so he really likes latching into it and vibing with it.
3.) Thad also isn't into video games but he does like watching Preston play. He likes the stories that come with the game.
4.) Thad is okay with doing 'nothing' with Preston and is content to just share the same space with him, Preston was worried for a while that he was too boring for Thad but Thad isn't a person that needs to be constantly stimulated. In fact, Thad gets overstimulated very quickly so Preston's slower pace is appreciated by him.
5.) Thad is into music, he plays multiple instruments (piano, flute, viola, and a few more) and he has written music for Preston's films.
6.) Preston introduced Thad to about 75% of the music he listens to.
7.) One of their mutual favorite 'dates' was synced headphones where they listened to the same songs and danced to them, each song got more and more romantic.
8.) Thad makes sure Preston makes it home safe every single night, even though he's not 100% out to the world there are people who know that he is bi and Thad doesn't want to leave anything to chance.
9.) Thad also checks in on him multiple times a day, he's saved him from missing homework, lost bus passes, wallets, cameras, whole backpacks and even his lunch on multiple occasions. Preston is sort of clumsy.
10.) Preston admires Thad for his boldness and his confidence, little does he know Thad doesn't feel bold or very confident but Preston's belief in him makes him believe in himself a little more.
11.) Bart 100% is Preston's best friend, and he can certainly talk to him about anything, but there are some more personal things like dealing with his mother's abuse and his father's negligence that he feels more comfortable talking to Thad about because he feels like Thad really gets it more. And he does.
12.) Preston always lets Thad take the last fry.
13.) Preston really did not understand the hype for New York pizza until Thad zipped off there and back with some. He was very quickly educated that yes, New York pizza really is all that.
14.) Preston is a Blue Lantern, Thad is a Green Lantern, symbolically. Now wouldn't that be an interesting concept to explore.
15.) They are both actually into some pretty niche stuff spanning music and movies. Bart is always willing to give ANYTHING a go, and he will enjoy them, but Thad will actually have the sorts of conversations about the thing that Preston wants to have.
16.) Preston has actually saved Thad's life and he doesn't know it, yet.

May I request a Headcanon of the dorm leader's reaction to their S/O singing "It's a small world" to the point the song gets stuck in their head. I'll give you a cookie if the Leona Headcanon took place in chapter 3.
I removed some characters cuz idk what to put in their hc, I honestly dk the song so I have to search it up
Dorm Leaders reaction:S/O singing "It's a small world"
TW:Minor Spoilers, GN!Reader, Reader was refered as childish
|A/N: Ik u want a S/O but I don't rlly know how to make this somewhat romantic kinda vibes, so feel free to think of this as a platonic HC or just imagine they are not yet dating|
Riddle Rosehearts
A children song??
The first tme he heard you sing that is during your food break.
While Ace, Deuce, Cater, and Trey are talking, you are just there singing a children song and not having a care to anything around you
At first he's mildly annoyed by it
"They sure are noisy"
Also called you childish during the duel and said something about your parents
After the OB incident, he apologized to you and everyone ofc
You two would hang out more because you would always suggest it, and he would agree if he has a time to spare
Which apparently led to you on singing that again and again around him to the point where it distracts him most of the time
The lyrics won't come out of his head
He probably memorized it at this point
He can't even sleep because of thinking of it or focus on his studies
He would sometimes accidentally write a part of the lyrics on his paperwork because he's thinking of it too much
Though, all of this would only happen when you're not around
He's so used to hearing your voice sing that, that he already has it permanently locked in his head
Over time, he gets used to it
He wouldn't say this to anyone but whenever someone broke a major rule and scolded them, he would try to think of the song again to cool a little
Maybe because it reminds him of you
"You sure are noisy...hm hehe"
Leona Kingscholar
He just wants to sleep...why?
He let you and Grim stay in his room when Azul took your dorm and he is rethinking about his decision
He is honestly annoyed
He hate hate HATE the song. Told you to "Shut up or else I'll kick you out"
Which you didn't, but at least you lower down your tone
He stayed awake for a little while, looking like he's plotting to strangle you while laying down and trying to make a sleep
He did fall asleep for about 3 mins
He complained in the morning about not having enough sleep because of you, despite the fact that he has way more sleep than you do
I am positive most of us sleep very late or even at sunrise
It happened for night but he just plugged his ears, it works, but he can still hear you a little
After Azul got defeated, he's relieved he finally got his room to himself again
But then your childish song started playing on repeat in his head
Usually at this time you would prepare for bed while singing again and again, he's so used to it
He'd rather die than admit, but he misses those nights
Right now, he feels lonely again
He would think of it every night in his bedroom, having a strange ache in his head and chest
He would always complain to Ruggie about losing an hour of sleep because of it and Ruggie just laughed and teased Leona
"What an annoying herbivore"
Vil Schoenheit
He thinks you're far mature for age to like this song but he doesn't discriminate
He keeps this thought to himself
If Vil is being honest he would've included you for VDC, your voice is beautiful
But like the other two, he is a bit annoyed at the fact that you sing that literally everywhere and anywhere when you get the chance, you even have no shame about it
He will credit you for your confidence and ignorance to those who scream at you to stop but will you please pick another song that seems calming at least?
Well, at least you don't do it during the meeting...
The more he pass by you in the halls, the more the song digs into his brain to the point of it not finding a way out
Wouldn't think of it everytime but it would suddenly enter his brain at random moments and he's like "What-"
It mostly comes whenever it seems to be quiet by the time, mostly at night which is unlucky for him
"Ah...can't I just have my needed rest"
Over time, he gets used to it and will be able to shrug it off easily the next random moments it comes again
(I can't think of anything else for Vil)
Idia Shroud
"Normies...ugh" —Idia's first thought
He just watches you through the cameras since he doesn't really go out of his dorm, don't ask why he's watching you in a the first place
You two wouldn't have met before chap. 6 if it wasn't for Ortho who you recently befriended
He doesn't want to meet but Ortho seems enthusiastic and really wants him to meet you, he would be sad if his big bro didn't do this.
Meeting with you wasn't so bad, you listen to him talking about his likes and you weren't as annoying as he thought
The time passes, Idia feels more comfortable rambling about his waifus around you
Ortho is happy his brother gets a new friend
You started singing your theme song (that's what Idia calls it) when you got comfortable, Idia doesn't like the song
But oh well, at least you don't cut him off, he doesn't really mind it anymore
The more time he spends with you, the more your theme song gets stuck deep into his brain (cuz ur the only person he hangs with +Ortho)
He doesn't get annoyed by it as much as he expected, tho it lure his attention to somewhere else
He would have to replay the game to see what the characters said
It doesn't distract him in his sleep since he only sleeps when he feels tired to the point of passing out (does he even sleep tho? I dont think he needs to, does he?)
Part of him wants to tell you this but a part of him doesn't want to make you uncomfortable
I hope this is good enough for you dear wisher<3

Birdsongs
Chapter 2
[first] [prev] [next]
Summary: The Life Pilgrimage is the biggest music festival of the century, set to take place all across the continent. Small-time rock band, GIST, and the up-and-coming alternative band, Empire, are both lucky to be among the hundreds set to make appearances, but there's just one problem. Neither can afford the travel expenses on their own. For better or worse, they're stuck with each other for the next five weeks as they try to make their dreams come true.
And, perhaps, among the chaos and music, two unsuspecting souls find one another...
Ships: Jimmy/Tango (slow burn romantic), Joel/Lizzie (romantic), Jimmy & Scott (platonic)
Warnings: Alcohol, Bad Driving
Months passed, and Jimmy had almost entirely forgotten about the travel situation. To be fair, he barely remembered the event. Or rather, tried not, lest he start to get nervous. But time moved on, and the date snuck up on him. Right up until the night before and Scott rang him up asking how much luggage space he would need. And then suddenly he had two hours before bed to pack, all the while in his ear Scott flipped between calming him down and stressing him out. It only ended when Lizzie and Joel returned from their date night to settle both of the worked-up men down and help Jimmy in person.
Jimmy woke up early that morning, exhausted, with one very poorly organized medium luggage against the wall, a half-empty backpack at the foot of the bed, change of clothes already laid out, and his guitar held too-tightly in his grip. It almost made up for the fact that he forgot to set his alarm, and that the only reason he woke up was Lizzie pounding on the bedroom door.
Scott was already waiting in the driveway, tapping on his steering wheel while Fwhip one-sidedly chatted. Jimmy froze when they made eye contact. He was in A Mood. Probably not helped by the scramble Jimmy caused the previous night or how long he’d been waiting. Maybe he could call a taxi, but that would probably make things worse.
Bless his sister. Lizzie took one look at him, and before he could say a thing she was asking Joel to put her stuff in Scott’s car. It did mean Jimmy was stuck with just Joel for the entire half hour drive, but for once Joel forwent the teasing to instead excitedly ramble about the trip. They even managed to get through the Timmy’s drive-through without incident, which Jimmy chalked up to a pilgrimage miracle.
By the time they got to Gem’s house Jimmy was finally awake and more than a bit jittery, case over his shoulder so he could hold his hot chocolate to his cheek like a heater.
“It’s summer, dude. Not even that cold.” Joel joked. Jimmy just hummed, enjoying the warmth.
He heard Lizzie squeal. “Gem!”
“Liz!”
The two women practically knocked each other over as they collided. Her hair had grown out since Jimmy last saw her, tied back with flowery clips, but she still wore her favourite overalls, a few new embroideries added to its collection. There was another girl, almost as tall as Scott, dressed in a black sweater and beanie. She wore a kind expression, but there was still something a bit intimidating about her.
Behind them, wheeling out the last of the other band’s luggage, was someone much more in line with Jimmy’s mental image of what they would be like. He was muscled, shirt and vest sleeves cut to show it off, and covered head to toe in scars, dotted with a few tattoos. His face was rough, and he quickly snapped at something the girls said, though he sounded jovial about it.
Gem waved Empire over, giving them each a hug before turning to her bandmates. “This is Skizz, our guitarist, and Pearl’s our manager. Impy and Tango went to pick up the trailer.”
“Pleasure to meet ya folks.” Skizz said and held out his hand to shake each of theirs. “Gem lent me one of your CDs. Really love your sound, got a real folky-experimental vibe to it. Can’t wait to get the full live experience!”
Jimmy stuttered out a “you too,” as his hand was roughly shaken. Oh, god, were they supposed to listen to each other’s stuff before today? He hadn’t even thought of that. He could see from the look on Joel’s face that at least he was thinking the same thing. 
Gem laughed. “Ignore Skizz, he likes going above and beyond.” 
“Hey, any excuse is a good excuse to listen to some great music!” 
Jimmy rubbed the back of his neck, a nervous chuckle escaping him. ‘Great’ wasn’t a term he would ever dare to use for what they made, not for lack of trying on Scott and Lizzie’s part. Those two at least basked in the praise. Scott even seemed to be cheering up again, enough to start chattering with Pearl and Fwhip. Or maybe it was the coffee.
Lizzie was off to the side still talking to Gem. “I’m so sorry we’re late, Jim got a bit behind.”
“It’s no problem, so did Tango. Apparently, he lost something? I dunno, Pearl was the one talking to him. And Impulse took his keys with him so we can’t even get our luggage in the van ‘til he’s back!”
At least Jimmy wasn’t the only one who messed up.
“Hey,” Joel called to him. “Help me with the luggage.”
Nearly thirty minutes later a large trailer pulled up to a very frazzled group. The new arrivals didn’t even get a word in before the chaos started. They were already well behind schedule. Ten people’s luggage had to be piled into a single minivan. Joel’s drum set was hassle enough just getting here, but getting two into the trailer storage compartments was a nightmare. Their saving grace was Scott and Pearl, the last stand between the large group and a giant toppled pile of panic.
Fwhip had just forced the last drum bag into the side compartment, backing off so Jimmy could force it shut. “I didn’t know we had so much stuff.” He whined. Their manager only gave a tired grunt in response.
Impulse came by to do one last double check on all the locks. The man was built, both strong and large-boned and a bit heavier. But, somehow, he managed to be the least intimidating of the GIST band members, with the kindest face Jimmy could recall, and the fashion sense of a dad at a backyard grill party. “Is that everything in?”
“Think so.” Jimmy replied.
“Good, then we can head off. Tango!”
There was a funny little noise, presumably of acknowledgement, before a head of scraggly blond hair held back by a headband poked out from the minivan trunk. Impulse took something out of his pocket and tossed it to him. “You drive the van first. Radio’s in the centre console already.”
“Me?” Tango whined. “Ugh, fiiine.”
Fwhip clapped Jimmy’s shoulder as he pulled himself up into the doorway of the trailer. “Jim, you go with him.”
“What!” He squawked.
“Hey, this is a two team effort! Plus, you made us late, so you’re first up. Now hurry up, you guys are leading.”
Jimmy pouted, but the redhead ignored him. Impulse at least gave him an apologetic pat on the back before heading off as well. With a deep sigh he awkwardly made his way over to the complete stranger. Whom he was going to be stuck with in a van. Alone. For the next ten hours.
 If he was honest, he was kind of avoiding him. Quite frankly, despite his stature, Tango was otherwise basically what Jimmy initially imagined GIST’s members to be. Leather vest, blood red pants barely tucked into bulky steel-toe boots, more than a few piercings, and at least one tattoo half-hidden by his short sleeves. The weird red glasses and oddly sharp-toothed smirk were not in his imagination, but they certainly didn’t not go with the look. He also quite visibly had some sort of pocket knife dangling from his neck. The exact type of person Jimmy tried to avoid.
Anyone friends with Gem will be fine. Anyone friends with Gem will be fine…
He held out his hands to Jimmy. It took him a second to realize they were for his guitar. He pulled it off his shoulder, only to hold it more securely to his chest.
“Don’t bother, you won’t get it off him.” Scott called from the window, giving an unimpressed, almost bored look to the two. Jimmy hugged it tighter.
Tango raised an eyebrow curiously but shrugged and closed the trunk. “C’mon little buddy, let’s get going.”
They shuffled into place. It was a lot easier getting his guitar into the van, thankfully. The van was shockingly pristine. He felt almost scared to put his hot chocolate cup next to a metal container he presumed was Tango’s. A walkie talkie had indeed been set up in the centre console, little stand and everything for it on the dashboard.
Before he started it up, Tango reached over with a hand once again. “Tango, by the way. Don’t think we properly met in all the hubbub.” He said with a giant grin.
For a moment Jimmy eyed it suspiciously, but eventually he pulled on a polite smile and shook back. The grip wasn’t as firm as Jimmy was expecting but shook a little too hard, Jimmy’s elbow banging against his case. “It’s Jimmy. With a ‘J’. Don’t let my bandmates tell you otherwise.”
“Oh, is that so?” Tango giggled. It was a bit wheezy, and broke halfway through, but it was an actual giggle. So far removed from his appearance that Jimmy was sure his brain immediately reset itself on any assumptions he’d yet made. It was downright adorable, if he was completely honest. “There a story there?”
“Sort of, I suppose.” The tension eased out of Jimmy’s body, his smile becoming something more genuine. “Not that interesting, though.”
Tango leaned back, pushing down one of the suitcases so he could see out the back window. “Well, we got plenty of time to share stories today. Let’s get out of here first, before the peanut gallery starts abusing their walkie talkie privileges.”
Jimmy made a small hum of agreement, and off they went. 
“So then Joel just jumped!”
“No!”
“Yep, flew through the air with all the grace of a mole tied to an anchor. Face went right into the floor! All in front of Liz.”
Tango full on cackled, hand slamming down on the steering wheel. Jimmy joined in, inadvertently crushing part of the map between his leg and case. “Was he okay?” Tango barely managed to ask, wiping a tear from his eye.
“He was fine. Drove him to the hospital but the only thing seriously damaged was his ego.”
“Ah, young love. The worst decision maker.”
Jimmy rested his forehead against his guitar, a wistful grin on his face. “I’ll agree to that.”
It was several hours into their trip, and so far the van had been filled with nonstop chatter. A few check in calls on the walkie and bathroom breaks were the only thing able to interrupt the flow of stories. It was nice having a new face to exchange with, someone who Tango hadn’t already known for years. He was honestly expecting plenty of awkward silence from Jimmy based on what he saw and heard from Gem. But once he started going, Jimmy never stopped.
He was so wrapped up in the embarrassing stories that he almost robotically took the map from Tango before Tango could even ask. It was kind of funny. Until Tango got curious and lifted up the empty Timmy’s cup slightly angled towards the other. It wound up absentmindedly in Jimmy’s hands for a good twenty minutes before he gave it an odd look like he had no clue where it came from and put it back. Then, Tango had a new game.
“So,” Tango leaned over to flip the radio to a new station when the old one finally fazed out of range, music replaced by some talk show. “Your band’s been together for a long time, too? If you were already doing shows in college.”
Jimmy hummed, as if he had to think about it. “I suppose, yeah. They had a thing going in the garage before that, but they got serious around then. Scott and Lizzie really wanted to go somewhere with it.”
They? “Were you not part of the group?”
“Hm?” It seemed to take a moment for it all to register. “Oh, uh, I guess that depends on who you ask. Ha…”
“What, were you backup or something?” Tango leaned back, staring at the man curiously.
Jimmy hesitated, rolling his head to the other side of his guitar case so Tango couldn’t see him fully. It didn’t hide the embarrassed blush. “Well, it was mostly Scott and Lizzie’s project, really. They only brought me in cause they needed a guitar. I’m not really on the same level as them or Joel, though.”
Tango hadn’t heard anything from them, so he couldn’t honestly assure Jimmy he sounded fine. But… “Hey, you’re good enough to get a spot on the pilgrimage!” He pointed out. “Two people can’t carry a four-man to that sorta thing. You could be the best soloist in the world and fail hard in a band.”
“I guess.”
“It means you add something. Your band wouldn’t sound the same without you, and that sound’s what got into the pilgrimage, Jimbo. Face it.”
There was a long pause where Jimmy had his whole face hidden, turned towards the window even if the case wasn’t in the way. Then he turned back to Tango with a teasing smirk and said, “What are you? My dad?”
It felt like a punch right in the gut.
Tango hung his head a protracted groan, pushing his knuckles into his eyes. “Nooo, just ship me off to the retirement home now, why don’t ya?” He whined, leaning on the steering wheel as he crumpled.
There was a yelp and a lurch, and a hand pushed him back into his seat while another grabbed the steering wheel. “Tango, watch the road!”
They swerved back into line, the van rumbling over the ridged divide and a few loose sunflower seeds scattering from the bag in the centre console. An airy squeak escaped the taller, who seemed to slump for a second before Tango laughed nervously, which got him a glare. “Are you trying to get us killed? Eyes on the road and hands on the wheel! And where’s your seatbelt? I didn’t even notice!”
“Sorry, sorry.” Tango waved off, reaching for the seatbelt.
“And you know what I’ve been thinking this whole time you’ve been driving really fast, too. You should slow down, we’re going to lose the trailer!”
“Yes mom.” He groaned, then froze with a small, “Oh.”
Both stared at each other for a full second before the van erupted into laughter. “You know,” Jimmy started once he was able to take a breath. “You aren’t nearly as scary as I thought you’d be.”
“I take offence to that.” He joked. A sign on the side of the road caught his attention as it flashed by. This was their turn off the freeway. Tango stuck his head out the window to double check the trailer was still behind them before he slowed. 
Jimmy held up the map for him to better see, and made a little noise, almost like a chirp. “There’s a truck stop with a few restaurants and drug store up ahead.”
“Cool.” Tango agreed, picking up the radio. “Hey, Impy, we’re pulling off up ahead for dinner.”
A crackly response came back. “Roger that!”
A few minutes later they were finally free from their prison, able to stretch out in the evening sun.  Poor Jimmy with his gangly limbs managed to crack every bone in his body from the sounds of it. Tango laughed as he splayed out over the hood, looping his guitar onto his back to press his face flat against the warmed metal while they waited for the trailer to park and file out.
When he finally noticed Tango staring at him his face lit up and sat upright. “Sorry.”
“Nothin’ to be sorry about, enjoy the space before the rabble shows up.” Tango shrugs. Looking around, the easiest thing to find something for everyone was a Wendy’s visible through the window of the lobby. It was one of those giant stops with a constant flow of a dozen vehicles, nothing like the big empty gas station he was expecting when Jimmy said truck stop. Better for them, rather than ten of them piling into some poor diner with two staff.
The rest of their group piled out the side of the trailer like a clown car. Some looked worse for wear, poor Gem looking ready to hurl while her brother rubbed her back. The only ones who looked unbothered were Impulse and Pearl.
“Finally, I need to eat a vegetable.” Scott bemoaned, tying off the bag of snacks-now-garage they’d gotten at the last stop.
Pearl let out an amused gasp, “Mate, it’s been seven hours! Gonna have to get used to it.”
“I’ll amend my statement, then. I need something not covered in ketchup flavoured dust.”
“You let Skizz buy the snacks, huh?” Called Tango. Only Jimmy seemed to hear and tried to muffle a laugh. Tango flashed him a toothy grin while he pushed his glasses up onto his head. He pulled a notepad out from his pocket, “Alright, you guys get snacks and whatever toothpaste you forgot, and we’ll get the real food. What y’all want?” 
“Nuggets!” Both Gem and Fwhip shouted. “With honey mustard-” “With barbeque!”
Their heads whipped to glare at their twin. “You always get barbeque, it’s my turn!” Gem accused quickly, shaking her many friendship bracelets as she wagged her finger at him. Fwhip gasped, getting ready to shoot back before Tango jumped in.
“Hey, hey, no need to fight, I’ll get both.” He held his hands up in appeasement.
Their eyes went wide in awe, as if he had just turned water into wine in front of them. “You can get them to do that?”
“Of course?”
A gasp of laughter escaped Skizz. “What, you think they only allow one sauce per customer or something?”
Freckled cheeks lit up to match their hair. Oh jeez. Tango rubbed his hand over his eyes while the air grew thick with embarrassment and chatter. 
“Oh my gosh, you did!”
“They totally did.”
“Isn’t that how it works?”
“No, of course not!”
“But- I mean- Mom always-”
“Are you bloody kidding me?”
“Wait, did your mom tell you guys that you could only get one sauce?”
 “A’ight, a’ight.” Jimmy, bless his heart, managed to pull himself together enough to interrupt. “Orders first, then you can laugh at them.”
“Hey!”
Eventually they escaped the mocking circle with everyone’s order to sit in line for the long wait. Tango had to admit, though most of his experience so far was only Jimmy, he was starting to like this other band. They seemed more than a bit eccentric, but that wasn’t anything he couldn’t also accuse his own band of being. Well, no, it was a very different sort of vibe, that was for sure. Not a bad one, though. They might all even survive the entire trip.
He and Jimmy were the last to show up at the tables, and the bags were torn apart like they’d been thrown to rabid animals. True to his words, Scott only got a salad and coffee, meagre looking next to Skizz and Jimmy’s pile of burgers. Tango couldn’t blame him, he wasn’t all that hungry himself after snacking in the car all day. “Do you want some of my fries?” Jimmy still whispered, which got the first genuine smile out of Scott Tango thinks he’s seen since they met that morning.
“You good to drive the last two hours?” Asked Pearl beside him. “I can switch if you need to.”
Tango flashed her a thumbs up. “We’re good.”
“Sorry for dumping you with a total stranger.”
He shrugged, picking at another fry as he watched his driving buddy. Another of his bandmates – Lizzie, was it? – had started to tease him about sitting next to Scott. There was something odd about the way the other band interacted that Tango couldn’t quite put his finger on. Or maybe he had become too comfortable with his own friendships. “Seems like a good guy, I don’t mind.”
A few hours later they were pulling into the RV park for the night. Tango could have gone several more hours, but according to the rest it would throw off their travel route, and everyone else looked exhausted. Excitement had finally died down into a low simmer. Jimmy especially seemed ready to pass out. There was just one issue…
“Where’s everyone gonna sleep?” He asked as he dropped their cooler on a picnic table.
That woke everyone up. Glares darted among the group, but before fights could break out Scott stepped up. A notepad plopped onto the table. “I’ve worked out the arrangements while we drove. Pearl, Gem-” The two girls perked up. “-You two are with me in the queen.”
“Of course you give yourself the queen.” Fwhip rolled his eyes.
Scott ignored him. “Impulse and Skizz, you guys share the couch pullout. Fwhip you get top bunk, Lizzie and Joel can share bottom bunk.”
“Because we’re practically one.” Lizzie cooed, clasping her hand with her husband’s.
“Yes, you two combined are about the size of a normal person.”
“Hey!”
“And Tango and Jimmy can share the dinette pullout.”
“Again?” Jimmy groaned. Ouch, rude , though Tango understood. They’d just met this morning and it felt as though they were already being pawned off as each other’s babysitter.
Pearl smiled, “If you feel that strongly, Jimmy, I’ll switch with you-”
“NO!” Both Jimmy and Scott shouted.
The table went quiet. Jimmy shrunk down like he was trying to become one with the bench, while Scott rolled his shoulders back into his previous composure. “If we need to change sleeping arrangements later we will, but I think this is fine for tonight. We brought a tent for when we have room to set it up, so hopefully it won’t be cramped every night.”
A clap emitted from the end of the table. With his usually wide, friendly grin, Impulse stood up. “Well, there’s a firepit. How about we go buy a couple logs and beers and we have a fun first night on the road?”
Tango snorted. Leave it to Impulse to come up with the most dad get-along plan. 
“I’ll pass on the beers, but I’ll take some marshmallows!” Pearl seconded. Everyone else slowly loosened back up, agreeing with increasing enthusiasm. Imp and Skizz jogged down to the small park store before it closed. Scott, Lizzie, and Gem wandered off to get ready for bed first while the rest sorted their luggage. Tango wound up cleaning out the fire pit. Only Jimmy remained at the table, still looking half asleep and fidgeting with the strap of his guitar case.
Once the pit was ready for Impulse’s return Tango flopped down onto the opposite bench, wiping the soot onto his pants. “Sleepy?”
Jimmy startled, half-lidded eyes popping wide open and a little squeak like a chirp escaping him. When he realized it was not a serial killer sneaking up on him but just Tango, he seemed to instantly slip back into his half-awake state. Head rested against his case, he said, “M’not used to stayin’ up late.”
“You one of those morning people I’ve heard myths about?” Tangle chuckled when he got a sleepy nod.
“Early bird catches the worm. That’s what mum used to say. Although in her case it was a cow, not a worm.”
“Couldn’t be me, I haven’t gotten to sleep before the AM in years.” Tango smiled. Just the thought seemed to make Jimmy cringe, burying his face against his case and shaking his head. Chewing his lip, Tango finally asked, “Whatcha got there, anyways?”
That seemed to catch the taller man’s attention. He leaned back, staring at his guitar case like he’d only just realized it was there. There was a flash of some emotion Tango couldn’t quite catch. Then, he carefully laid it out on the table and popped it open.
Inside was a white Stratocaster. Hardly in the best of shape, with scratches along the edge from where it seems it’d been dropped or banged into things. Well loved, perhaps quite old by now, but in good playing condition. It would have been quite plain, in fact, if not for the stickers. All over the body, front and back as Tango got to see when it was lifted from its case, were various stickers. 
Tango had known people who’d put stickers on their guitars from venues they played or countries they travelled. That didn’t seem to be the case for Jimmy, though. There were a few, but most seemed to be cheap dollar store stickers, the kind that came in multiple themed covered in glitter that flaked off. One was the exact sort of gold star sticker one might get in primary school. It was placed right under a cartoon cowboy hat, which was next to a brown fish. Further along was a little yellow bird, slapped overtop another, bright red sticker. It was hard to see in the twilight, and it seemed someone tried to pick it off before the cheap paper ripped, leaving a streak of white through the middle.
Jimmy fidgeted more the longer Tango examined it, until he pulled it below the table. His ears were red as he stuttered. “Sorry to disappoint, it’s nothin’ special.”
“Wh- no! It’s a good guitar!” Tango raised his hand before he thought better of touching the man. They were still pretty much strangers. “It’s cute. You put those on yourself?” Idiot, of course he did, he chastised himself. Who else would? Some sticker gnome who sneaks into guitar cases at night?
It did make Jimmy perk up a bit, loosening his hold. “Yeah, whenever I see one I like, or for special occasions. Some of them are from my friends. Though, Joel said it would make it sound bad…”
“That’s just a superstition.” Tango handwaved.
“Ha! That’s what I thought. I told him it just needed tuning.” His chest puffed up slightly, a smug smile stretching across his face. If he was a chicken Tango imagined he’d be strutting around like he’d just won some great debate. It was adorable, if Tango was honest. 
Thankfully, he wasn’t. He cleared his throat, “So, is it, like, your lucky guitar or somethin’?”
“Hm?” Jimmy blinked, deflating in an instant. “Um, not really? It’s, um, it’s my only guitar. The only one I ever had.”
An impressed whistle escaped him. “Really? That’s amazing, it’s still in pretty good condition, then. Really spoke to you in the shop, huh?”
Jimmy let out what was quite possibly the world’s cutest noise, and his face turned bright crimson before it disappeared behind the guitar. Well that was certainly not the reaction Tango was expecting. He waited for a reply, but none came. In fact, no words at all came as the minutes stretched on. A bit worried, Tango was about to beg forgiveness for whatever nerve he’d struck when Skizz shouted, “Beer’s here!” and shattered the bubble they’d been in. 
A few people were already gathered around the pit. Pearl was bundled up into her biggest sweater while chatting with Gem, who was still running a towel through her hair. Fwhip eyed the pair of men with a knowing smirk that made Tango feel like an idiot but walked past them to help with the beers. 
Scott came out of the trailer buttoning up his pyjamas. “Jimmy, it’s your turn. Before you pass out.”
You would have thought the bench Jimmy had been sitting on was on fire. In one swift motion his Strat was back in his case and both were gone. Tango sat there for another moment, then groaned, slamming his head against the table. Wonderful, he’d already managed to shove his foot in his mouth only a day into their month-long trip. Not wanting to wallow in his misery, he grabbed his lighter from his pocket and joined Impulse. Maybe some controlled pyromania would cheer him up…
Caught up in his own head, he almost missed the unreadable look Scott gave him before he disappeared back into the trailer.

if you’re hearing THE HEAT IS ON by GLEN FREY playing, you have to know STEPHEN MEYER (HE/HIM; CIS MAN) is near by! the FIFTY year old BAND MANAGER has been in denver for, like, FIFTEEN YEARS. they’re known to be quite DEMANDING, but being FUN-LOVING seems to balance that out. or maybe it’s the fact that they resemble JOSH DUHAMEL. personally, i’d love to know more about them seeing as how they’ve got those DESIGNER SUITS, CROCKERY PURCHASED AND NEVER USED, A LIST OF DIRECTIONS FOLLOWED BY A LAUGH AND A JOKE vibes. and maybe i’ll get my chance if i hang out around the WASHINGTON PARK DISTRICT long enough!
tw: death, murder mention, drug and alcohol abuse
ABOUT.
Name: Stephen Meyer Nicknames: Steve Age: Fifty Date of Birth: 10th October 1972 Birthplace: Canterbury, Kent, UK Occupation: Band manager Romantic/sexual orientation: Heteroromantic/heterosexual
Stephen was raised by a single father in Canterbury in Kent. His mother passed away around 12 months after he was born, for reasons unknown. Reasons still unknown. He’s been convinced since he was five that his dad murdered her. This obviously isn't true, he's just always had a very active imagination.
He was never much of a family guy, he doesn’t believe in it. Simply the idea of playing happy families freaks him out.
At the age of ten his father remarried and the family up and moved to the US, which is where his life really began to take shape. He developed a love for music, had a garage band by the age of fourteen, and would drown his sorrows in sound.
It was no surprise to anyone, however, when he got out of there as fast as he could upon finishing high school and ended up at the Manhattan School of Music.
When he graduated he made no move to head to his new home, instead chose to hang around, see what he could do with his new found life. That was how he ended up getting involved in tour management. He'd spend his downtime with his own band, trying to get them noticed and to get someone to sign them. He had little success and in the end realised that perhaps he wasn't supposed to be the musical one.
His new life was a chaotic one though, nights filled with drink and drugs, partying from dusk to dawn and rarely ever sleeping.
He was thirty when he made the decision to go into actual band management instead, and then five years later, made an effort to clean up.
The move to Denver came around the same time and that's when he started working as an independent manager, unlike the past five years, where he'd been working for a small record label on and off.
He found someone he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, but not get married, not start a family. According to them both they have the perfect life with no stresses or strains, although it remains to be seen if that’s actually true or not. 
HEADCANONS.
He spends most his time riding around on an electric scooter. It totally pisses everyone off, but he’s past caring.
If there’s one thing that Stephen is, it’s Jekyll and Hyde; he spends his days working acting goofy, fun and eclectic, yet when he’s at home he’s much calmer, chill and that can be felt by other people.
He has a collection of baseball caps that he never wears, merely hangs up on his office wall.
WANTED CONNECTIONS.
- current partner ( two years ). - exes. - best friend. - close friends. - artists he’s managed over the years. - old band members.

Road trip with eddie road trip with eddie ROAD TRIP WITH EDDIE IMAGINE, like you're vibing to music in the car or sitting on the roof of it while he plays guitar at night or doing random picnics whenever you see a pretty field, STAR GAZING AND SO MUCH MORE AHHHHHHH
A road trip with Eddie would be something he’s planned for ages. He’s saved up money, thought about things on the cheap, and when you both graduate together, you’re going to get out of this shitty town that hates him, and go on a summer road trip.
Eddie’s van is stacked with all the essentials, as well as pillows and blankets, so you two can sleep there for cheaper. You say goodbye to Wayne for a little while, as well as your family and friends, and all Wayne asks for is a hat for Eddie to bring back, to add to his collection. Mostly though, he asks for you both to stay safe, and for you to keep his boy out of trouble.
His sweetheart is of course along for the ride, he can’t abandon her! Plus, Eddie does think about how he’s going to he playing her for you a lot, on grass, or picnic blankets, or on top of his van. He thinks about bringing his acoustic too, but he needs the space. Plus, maybe someone will hear him playing for you on one romantic evening, and secretly be a talent scout or something! Anything to make a buck, especially on the road with you, and especially to add to the adventure!
Every night, every day, is like a date with Eddie! You two do get a lot of alone time usually, either out in the world, or with Wayne not home, but this is totally different. You have so much freedom! Plus there’s no worries Wayne or your family or any of your friends are gonna walk in while you two thought you were home alone, and doing a workout in the bedroom. Eddie parks pretty discreetly if you two wanna do that, or you may be in a hotel room for the night. He’s not gonna put in any less effort, or be quiet, or subtle, Eddie would never do such a thing, but he also guesses you don’t want some nosy grandma or a police officer snooping around the rocking vehicle either.
The whole year leading up, you’d both marked locations you want to visit. Although Eddie is very fun and adventurous, so he’ll do a detour if in a 7/11 you guys are getting your next meal from, there’s a brochure for somewhere fun just a town away. Why not! Not like you two will ever be back in... oh, Colorado, back in Colorado again!
At least not for the foreseeable future. Eddie saved up a lot, for years for this road trip he always a wanted to have after graduating. So while you two try to be as cheap as possible in some aspects, you don’t have to worry about money if you want to go visit a new place or attraction. Eddie loves the spontaneity! And if he gets an idea in his head, it’s bouncing around until his feet are firmly planted in the intended location. You’re free to do what you want, as young people, in love, out in the world.
Sometimes Eddie will want to take you on a date, on what he’s already affectionately entitled ‘the worlds longest date.’ So if you haven’t passed anywhere super fun for a while, he’ll take you to a diner for a full meal, milkshakes and desert, instead of snacks from a gas station, a hot dog vender, or sharing a burger from McDonald’s. He always wants to keep things new and exciting. And when you two are fed up with junk food, it’s time for a picnic, filled with so many fruits, and cheese, and wine Eddie convinced the cashier to sell in 80’s America. He even leaves a chocolate bar on his dashboard right, under the windshield for a while, to melt it, so he can try and make a little dip for chocolate covered strawberries for you. The man never stops trying for you.
Eddie wants to visit every state he can in his van, that he made sure was perfectly healthy before setting off into the sunset with you. Obviously places like Alaska and Hawaii aren’t exactly on the table, but for years, and especially in recent years, this hasn’t just been a road trip. It’s not just been a celebration. Or a milestone in his young adult life. And you know it. Eddie’s trying to find if there’s a spot for him in this country, that really sings out to him. Somewhere he could escape Hawkins too.
And with you knowing that, Eddie really dives into your opinion too. After all, even if you wanted to move to his least favourite, most boring, most cookie cutter hell on earth place, Eddie would always follow you to hell and back, because all Eddie wants most, is to be with you. So no matter what, Eddie will follow you anywhere. Because these states aren’t his future, his travels and new experiences aren’t, you are his future. And now he’s finally graduated with you, and had a summer just dedicated to being a fun young perosn in love, travelling around without a care, he can’t wait to somewhat settle down with you. In a place where you both belong, together.

saw your bored post, gimme your best hcs abt racetrack and spot, and also jededaius (christ idk how to spell his name i did a wholeass paper on the man) and octavious :3
SPRACE AND JEDTAVIUS YIPPEE
okok i have so much rly random and specific stuff for them sprace especially
ok for sprace i’m gonna do some individually and then collectively
RACEEETRAAACKKK
-race is definitely the little love coach/gossip girl in the lodging house, he definitely picks up on every little hint of feelings between the boys (and bothers spot and jack with it). -for some odd reason i just. feel like race had a crush on davey at some point or at least found him attractive but he slowly turned into javid’s biggest supporter LMAO -he trusts albert with his life (bad idea). probably had to go through the “uh can i tell you about something” shit with him before he started dating spot. it rly stressed him out for a while but he’s good now albert’s fine race’s fine. -he and katherine were probably the first people davey told about liking jack, and he was so fucking exited about it on like an unhealthy level. davey asked him if he could keep a secret, let’s just say he didn’t. -actually like never smokes, just has the cigar bc it makes him look badass and allows him to do fancy flourishes with it at the end of every sentence. -that being said, he gives major theater kid vibes. -jack was his first friend, and crutchie kinda just joined the group later on. he’s the second youngest of the trio, and they consider eachother brothers.
spit concord
-gets no bitches. likes to think he does but doesn’t. race loves him for that honestly. -hotshot became a newsie before he did even though he’s slightly younger. he probably found spot in a trashcan somewhere and dragged him back against his will -they’re besties i’m here for it -huge dog person. i could see him stealing food and then giving it to some street dogs instead of feeding himself 😭 -can not down any amounts of alcohol ever without getting insanely drunk. one shot and he would pass out bro -hotshot was the first person he told about dating race, and he was NOT happy about that 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️ -not because he’s homophobic just because he didn’t want to lose spot :(
SPRACE MY BELOVEDS
-race met spot at the races in brooklyn and nearly got beat up for being in his territory, but it was still love at first sight for both of them -so naturally, race came back the next day to say hi. they had like a normal conversation that time and settled on a compromise for race to be able to sell at the races but nowhere else. -they became pretty good friends and were still gay pining over eachother but theyre both dumbasses and didn't realize -race told jack about liking him, and jack nearly went all the way to brooklyn just to tell spot to keep his grubby paws off his brother -eventually they started dating, probably during or right after the strike -race still isn’t allowed to sell anywhere in brooklyn 💀 -race got caught in a storm once and spot forced him to stay in brooklyn for the night because he didn’t want him to get sick or cold (not that he would ever admit that ofc) race didn’t want to make jack worry, but he took it as an excuse to cuddle with spot so he did it anyways -race calls spot short all the time. like all the time. to the point where it’s annoying to everybody not just spot -cheek kisses, neck kisses, occasionally hand kisses but they’ve probably only kissed on the lips like once (they’re too panicky and nervous to do it again) -hotshot and jack are prolly like decent friends actually, just because they can bond over worrying for their gay little younger brothers
wow i love jededaius and octavious from the hit movie trilogy nihgt at tge musiem
i have like a lott LOTT less for them but let’s begin
-were never truly enemies, closer to rivals. they just felt like it was their duty to fight eachother and gave them something to do all night -octavius is a huge hopeless romantic, wrote a whole bunch of love poems about jedediah even before the feeling was mutual. jedediah eventually found them, good thing he can’t read, much less in latin 😀👍 -guYS PLEASE CAN YOU STOP MAKING THE WESTERNERS HOMOPHOBIC LET THEM BE HAPPY PLEASE (clearly they’re aware they’re museum exhibits so they’re definitely caught up on modern standards) -jed is asexual. yep -octavius literally cannot ride a horse idc if he’s a roman centurion he’s unable. that’s why they use the rc car instead of jed’s horse -they have movie night with the other exhibits once a week, and they always cuddle together away from the others :) -jedediah is really cocky and arrogant most the time, but is really sweet and gentle with octavius. probably brags about him
ok that’s it 😭 ik it’s not a lot but
TY FOR THIS ASK!

Which Thirdverse nextgens would like to be in relationships, and which would be happy being single, barring Sunny, Tiger, Earth and Cut?
Thank you so much for asking!! Even though most of the ng cast doesn’t have any love interests in the story, that doesn’t mean all of the “single” characters wish to stay single forever, and it’s really fun to think through what their takes on love would be. Which are the following:
Laffy Taffy totally does not (/sarcasm) have a crush on one of her classmates. Their name is Nightmare Night and I first introduced them in this status! She’s definitely in that hormonal middle school era where crushes come much more quickly, but overall she is interested in finding someone who’ll be more than a friend to her.
Galatea is extremely social and has lots of friends at school, and while she isn't anywhere near seriously thinking of relationships in this stage of her childhood, it's been suggested to me that maybe she be somewhere on the ace/aro spectrum. It would certainly break stereotypes regarding asexuality, as my more recent work is known for, so I'm thinking about it as a possibility!
I like the idea of Blackberry Maple preferring a single life. He’s not asexual or anything, he just has a very wide network of friends and couldn’t see himself choosing one to spend the rest of his life with or choosing one location to settle down in forever. The Apple family farm is his home base, but he sees that as different from choosing a partner himself. His lifestyle is just not compatible with a steady monogamous partner.
I’m also toying with the idea of having Orchard Sunrise be not particularly interested in relationships, because getting married would mean losing her disability benefits /JOKE Though she does genuinely value her independence and knows that “who’s going to take care of you?” isn’t a good reason to look for a partner. She can get her caretaking requirements and companionship needs met through her other relationships. If there’s any interest at all, it would be an “if it happens it happens, if it doesn’t it doesn’t” attitude about romance and a complete lack of desire for children.
The real reason I’m thinking of this is because it would be funny as hell for Applejack’s dreams of having a child-in-law and grandchildren to rest on her most cringefail child because her two more competent children aren’t interested. I can definitely see Fireside Jam failing his way through a few relationships and learning some hard lessons before he settles down, but it is something he wants to do.
Bismuth Sun just gives me the vibe of someone who would want a partner. She puts in effort to prioritize her family even with her busy and stressful schedule because of how much she adores them, and she would be the same way with a romantic partner.
Outside gossipers wouldn’t think this to be very likely because of how they perceive their attitude, but Celestial Blessing would like to settle down with a lover someday too. Maybe even produce an heir to pass their knowledge on to. Of course they’re secure in themselves and devoted to their work so finding romance isn’t at the very top of their priority list; it’s not something they desperately seek out. But they would like it to happen eventually and hopefully not have to wait 15+ years to even start dating.
I like to think Evergreen Blaze has had a girlfriend at some point in his life, probably a fellow Wonderbolt or somepony who’s Wonderbolt-adjacent. I don’t imagine such a relationship being toxic per se, but Evergreen wouldn’t find it very fulfilling and he’s too emotionally stunted right now to admit to himself that he would much rather date a stallion.
Moonray Chill is one of those “straight” girls who just hasn’t found a boy she likes yet but is very close with her female friends! She enjoys going to sleepovers where they practice kissing boys on each other, cuddle in the same sleeping bags together, and (in the human au) admire each other’s bras. Just gal pal things! “Mom, what do you mean you’ve never done that with any girl friends?” She’s just an oblivious girl overall and that includes being oblivious to why she isn’t all that interested in boys.
Lantern is in a stage of life where they still feel like a child in many ways, so as of now they aren't thinking about relationships that much when they're still struggling to figure out who they even are. I like to think there are a few passing celebrity fancies, but even then it's a struggle of, "do I want them or do I want to BE them?" One day they'll figure it out, once they feel like they have more agency over the rest of their life.
Strawberry Breeze grows up into a proud bisexual mare whose standard for a partner is “whoever proves worthy.” It’d a high standard for someone with as big a personality as hers, but she’d say it’s perfectly achievable.
Daisy Wasp seems like she would be very selective with partnerships. If she had a partner during the main story, at age 15-ish (I don't plan for her to, just hypothetically), I think she would struggle because of all the time she volunteers as a peer conflict mediator. She wouldn't have much emotional energy left to commit herself to a lover's wants and needs. If she waited and got a partner when she's older, after she's sorted through the issues of her main arc, it would go better. Still, she would take her time to choose someone who also has good coping skills and boundaries so they can support each other through the highs and lows without being emotionally over-taxed.
You know those jokes about people who have never been in a relationship but still know a lot about how they should be (and how they should NOT be) from hearing all of their friends' stories about their relationships? Daisy Wasp is like that.
Fairyfly seems like the type who would think he should have a partner and an heir one day (despite being the lowest ranked of changeling royalty lol) because changelings are a species of love and he thinks it would be expected of him. Even though King Thorax and next-in-line Ocellus are both single, as far as I have planned rn. He has plenty of time to figure out what he actually wants beyond what (he thinks) is expected of him.

*jump out the bushes* hey ozzy~~
Listen, bro I have a request.
M3 going on a date to the tarven with mc. They are having fun, they get drinks, mc getting a little tipsy nothing crazy, BUT that tarven has a stage and let people to perform on and tonight is a karaoke night (I don't know if karaoke exists in Astraea but that definitely won't stop me >:) )
Anyway!!!
M3 look back to mc who's pretty drunk and jokingly tell them to go up stage and perform and mc is like "fuck off dude not a chance" , so they start to tease and call a chicken
Normally mc would roll their eyes and brush it off but nah not this mc. They are drunk and don't give a shit
So they climb up the stage, steal some poor guy's lute and go " I declare this song for a very special person to me , they are sitting with us right now btw" they point at their Lis " I hope you would appreciate what I'm about to do because you won't hear that from me sober. Love you, dumbass"
And they start singing "can't help falling in love" by Elvis Presley and holy shit their voice is amazing!!!
By the time they finish, everyone is clapping and Lis walk up to them shaking them like WTF?!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING THOSE LUNGS?! And mc is like " Hold on. I'm gonna puke-"
Btw Ozzy thanks for writing my reverse au last legacy hc. You really did amazing and I'm so glad other people liked it. That really made my day.
Ok that's it. Later Ozz. Peace✌️* vanish to atoms*
Oh hey my metaphorical inbox-house has bushes now! Upgrades, people. Upgrades.
GN!Reader, you're drunk, hehehe this is so cute, MC is drunk as a skunk, I give my own lil' song rec but will use the Elvis one for the scenario, though I personally like the Michael Buble version.
M3 Together Because It's More Fun, Colored Bullets Are Romantic With That Character (Felix, Anisa, Sage)
Okay so it's one of the rare times Anisa gets off of work early and doesn't have a shift tomorrow and Felix has torn himself away from his studies, and Sage has decided the night would best be spent at the tavern having fun.
Well. You're having fun. A little much.
Felix gets drunk of a glass of red wine, so he has a hard time judging other people's tolerance. He had meant to encourage you to drink water but he kinda zoned out for a minute there and suddenly you're three drinks deep and it's kinda too late.
Anisa has been on top of it, feeding you snaccs and passing you water and making sure you don't get sloppy. She's happy to let you have your fun - you've been working hard and you deserve it - but she's also gonna make sure you're not putting yourself into danger or something.
Sage is probably the best at making sure you don't overdo it because he obviously has the most experience. Not to say he's gonna harsh your vibes in any way - the Vibes Are Integral To The Night - but he's gonna take good care of you.
Regardless of who you're partnered with, they're all keeping an eye on you. Sage, ever the gentleman, asks you a bunch of sexually revealing questions. Felix, ever the wise man, asks you a bunch of embarrassing revealing questions. Anisa, ever the Single-Brain-Cell-Mom-Friend, tries to stop them but only ends up asking you to elaborate on just about any answer you give. It's all in good fun though, don't worry.
And then they announce they're starting karaoke, and anyone can join!
... Felix wants you to do it. He nudges your shoulder and puts a lilt to his voice as he says that Oh Darling He Just Wants To Appreciate Your Talents And It Would Mean So Very Much To Him If You Did This :)
Anisa looks at you with those big eyes and hair poofed out in excitement and she's like,, three inches from your nose as she says that You Need To Do It. She Needs To Hear An Earth Song and She Needs To See You Doing Something So Adorable. Please. If You're Comfortable.
Sage,, nuzzles into the crook of your neck,, purrs against your throat,,, Hai :3 his tail flicks along your stomach :3 You Know You'd Probably Have A Lot Of Fun Up There :3 and he gives your hips a little squeeze :3 And He Definitely Wants You To Have Fun :3 kisses your cheek :3 So You Should Go Do It!!! :3 yes he's going to be checking you out and having horny thoughts that's just implied
Well, it seems like everyone wants you to do it.
You stumble onto the stage and you have your microphone and you point at Felix and you're like 'THIS IS FOR THE CUTEST GUY WITH THE NICEST ASS HERE, AKA MY BOYFRIEND!' and he's just !! The tips of his ears are turning pink because everyone is looking at him but he's focusing on you but also he wants to sink into the floor a little bit because did you have to introduce him like that? Of course you did. You Are Evil Incarnate. But he loves you anyways.
So like,, you start singing right? If it were me I would sing like,,,, Nicotine by P!ATD but that's me.
But anyways Felix is not expecting you to go off like that. Your voice is far more impressive than he could have imagined, especially the alcohol-enhanced emotion that seeps into the words.
'Wiiiiiiiise meeeeen saaaaaaaay, only foooools ruuuuuuuush iiiiiiiiiin, but I ca-a-a-an't heeeeelp falling in looooooooove wiiiiiiiiiiiiith youuuuuuuuuuuuu'
That's the song stretching the syllables not me
And you're looking at him, grinning and swaying around and seeming so impossibly delighted by the sheer prospect of... being with him.
And the tips of his ears are red and his nose is burning and he can barely speak because the words keep tumbling over and over in his head and hohohohoho he is Not Okay
You take the stage, swaying from side to side a little, and shout that 'THIS IS FOR MY SUPER HOT CAT WIFE!! LOVE YOU BABY' and Anisa is choking on her milk wine Because She Really Didn't Think You Would Do That Oh Gods. And now everyone is looking at her because A Knight Lieutenant Is Letting Her Partner Act So Embarrassing In Public? And Anisa is ignoring them because She Has Standards To Uphold but you sure as hell don't, and she won't let anyone impose on you.
I would recommend Would You Be So Kind by Dodie but that's just me
'Like a riiiiiiveeeeer flooooows, surely toooooo theeeee seaaaaaa, Daaaaarling, soooo it goooooes, some things are meaaaaaaant tooooooo beeeeeee'
And Anisa is just falling in love with you all over again because yes obviously this is an adorable song and the fact that you're beaming at her and flashing her finger hearts and whatever and you're just so sweet and probably a little bit awkward and she gets the awesome honor of being Your Knight
Cat hair poof cat hair poof cat hair poof your (half) cat girlfriend is So Very Very Just Absolutely Captivated By You.
Like I said, Sage is totally checking you out a lot a bit and he's not at all sorry. So when you're up there, leaning on the microphone pole and waiting for the band to start,,,,,,, do you think that Astraea has pole dancers? If they do Sage is zoning out imagining you as a pole dancer. If they don't then man He's About To Have A Fucking Universe-Shattering Idea
I would recommend the Michael Buble version of LOVE but that's just me
'Shaaaaaaall Iiiiiiii staaaaaaaay, would it beeeeee aaaaaa siiiiin, if Iiiiii can't heeeeeelp, faaalling in looooooove wiiiiiith youuuuuu'
And you're looking at Sage?? Like you're drunk and whatever but you're still focusing on him and there's such an earnest burning in your eyes when you say that you've fallen in love with him and his tail goes still and his eyes go all big and his ears are twitching and flattening against his hair and there's a little bit of him that wants to cry (in a good way)
And he's just staring at you because his brain is short circuiting
You stumble back off the stage, giggling and laughing, and practically crash into the table. Luckily Anisa and Sage are able to stabilize you and Holy Shit Everyone Is Losing It
Since when could you sing like that?? Why have you never sung for any of them before?
If your singing sounds like that then what does your moaning sound li- Anisa kicks Sage in the shin so hard he nearly falls out of his chair
You cut everyone off by slamming your hands on the table hard enough to make the mugs rattle and declare that You Gotta Fuckin' Pee But You Cannot Walk and then you stumble and trip over your own feet and faceplant
,,,, your partner loves you so much
Anyways you get carried home because you Cannot Walk
Depending on how badly you Cannot Walk, Felix might have assigned Sage to carry you. But if you can walk a bit, you're leaning on his shoulder and he's still too flustered to talk because Why Did You Mention His Ass but also he is such a fool for you
Anisa! Is! Carrying You! Even if you don't necessarily need her to. She asks you a thousand questions about Earth music and romance songs and poems and stories. She wants to pick something suitable to serenade you with :)
Sage but he's koala-carrying you so your legs are wrapped around his waist and you can nuzzle into the crook of his neck and hes carrying you and bouncin' you a little bit and kissing whatever parts of your face he can reach because Why Are You Such A Sweetheart He Really Really Loves You :'3
