(reader has hair that can be curled with the sock method. i am writing this bc i saw a comment on a tiktok tutorial for the sock method that was like “idk how much more my husband can take this)
katsuki would be the boyfriend that’d be absolutely bamboozled when he walks into your room to turn in for the night, and you’re putting socks in your hair.
i can just imagine the most judgmental stare emerging from his rarely judgmental look (at least for you)
like.. he doesn’t know how much more he can take when he cuddles up next to you and you’re looking like you have a ufo on your head 😭 he gets curling your hair but… socks. they’re socks. he’s baffled.
but then he kinda gets it when he wakes up next morning and your hair looks absolutely majestic. (he obviously expresses that “the sock thing is still goofy”, and just compliments the outcome on your hair)
despite so, the sock method never gets old for him in terms of how much it baffles him— and he will continue to give you split second judgmental looks until the day you pass 💀
Eddie’s on live one night because he’s an insomniac with a lot to say but he’s already lost because he’s got his phone set up on his nightstand and he’s in bed. Inevitably he falls asleep without turning off his live stream.
For like six hours, you can watch two middle aged men restlessly sleep. At one point in the night, Eddie wakes up just enough to pull his hair up and take off his socks. Steve wakes up twice to go to the bathroom, both times mumbling ‘going to the bathroom, don’t need to follow me’ to the dog. Ozzy follows anyways. Steve wakes up and takes off his sweatshirt because he’s hot. Eddie wakes up and puts it on because he’s cold.
Steve at one point mumbles something in his sleep about blue and yellow in the west.Eddie, not even halfway awake, reaches over to him and pulls Steve into his arms. He rubs his back until they both finally drop off into a restful sleep.
Like an hour later when the sun is shining through their curtains, you can hear a door in the distance open and then close. It’s followed by a call of, “Boys?”
Eddie and Steve sit straight up in bed and Eddie says, “We forgot to pick Wayne up from the airport.”
side order was obviously psychological and physical pain for 8 (what else is new) but have you ever thought about how much fun they could've had in certain levels?
mostly with the fact the ∞-ball levels can be a nice session of exposure therapy considering 8 has been an unintentionally traumatized 8-ball murderer for however long they were in the metro (aka: the balls no longer fall!! they're saved!! its a late squidmas miracle!!!!), and also they can occasionally watch from afar as the battering lentos (big boi fishes) somehow solve things while playing with it.
there's also the fact two of the bosses sing BANGERS. absolute icons of their generation. where would we all be without the new idols that are my bois asynchronous rondo and pinging marciale???
also 8 gets to witness the true power of gay moms in the elevator of all places with a very done with life sanitized dj who might as well be their sassy aroace cousin who most definitely talks shit about everyone /j
tl;dr side order is peak comedy at times and fanon 8 should be shown to have at least a bit more fun than ive seen.
imma leave you with this tiktok i found that tempted me to make a character out of the one parallel bobot lookin guy cuz honestly why not
