#wish he'd get better so he'd be happier and able to have a life :/ and have a decent life with me

[fallingdownhell]

May I request Yae Miko, Dehya, Cyno and Childe getting defensive/angry/protective (whatever you see fit) about someone saying they deserve better then their s/o because they aren't in the best physical shape? (Be that being fat, disabled ect.)

Honestly? It felt so self indulgent writing some of this, especially Dehya's part, so thank you for requesting it<3 Also, since I'm writing about some conditions I'm not affected with, please let me know if I missrepresent any of it, and I'll immediately change it! Characters Included: Cyno; Dehya; Childe Content: gender neutral reader; established relationship; various conditions on reader: being deaf/overweight/in a wheelchair; mean comments being made by others; characters defending reader; does that count as comfort??; not proofread yet Word count: 1,6k words Enjoy<3

Cyno

being deaf was never the handicap to you as others would probably see it

of course, it was difficult, learning to interact with the world and the people around you when you could not hear any of it, but rather than seeing it as a hindrance, you saw it as a challenge, one that you were determined to overcome

now, as an adult, things were going pretty well for you. Most the people you often interact with know about your condition, so they tend to be more patient when conversing with you

growing up, you began learning sign language to communicate with the people around you, as well as reading their lips. Over the years, you got more and more fluent in the language, so this was working out pretty well for you

Cyno, upon first meeting you, was fascinated by the way you percieve and interact with the world

despite the fact that you were not able to hear anything at all, you were the most lively person he's ever met, always smiling and laughing at everything and everyone around you, always seeing the good

after first meeting you, he immediately went and started to learn sign language as well. He had this desire to be close to you and spend more time with you, and he thought, in order to better communicate with you, he should learn how to talk to you

Now, a few years later, you've been in a relationship with Cyno for quite some time, and he could honestly say, that he's never been happier in his life

you brighten each of his days, simply by existing within his proximity, your smile was contagious and he often found himself just staring at you, never getting tired of your beauty

however, sometimes, there tend to be voices that question the relationship you have. Mostly people who didn't know you all that well, asking Cyno how he could even be with someone who could not hear a word he said

While he did pity those people, he always jumped to defend you. You may not be able to hear, but that didn't mean you were any less than anyone else in this world. In his eyes, it's just another thing about you that made you unique

It was always like this. Whenever anyone was talking bad about you, or telling Cyno that he should find a better partner, he always defended you, claiming that there would never be someone better than you

and if those idiotic people still don't get it by the lovestruck way he talks about you and continue to pester him, Cyno can get annoyed very quickly, not hesitating to draw his weapon on them

he wouldn't actually fight them, but the possibility of it being there scared them enough to run with their tails between their legs

but, at the end of the day, he never tells you about those encounters he has, not wanting to bring down your mood with it. He'd much rather enjoy the stories you have to tell him each day when he comes home to you

Dehya

when people were thinking about Dehya, they thought of a strong, independent woman, beautiful, smart and capable of many things. They respected her, and many wished to become the person by her side

when rumors came about of Dehya having a partner, people began to talk among themselves, guessing on who it could possibly be and what they would look like

No doubt would someone like her only settle for a partner just as good looking, smart and strong as herself, right?

well.. let's just say, the day you and Dehya became public with your relationship was a very... tough one

People knew you as being one of the most trusted merchants of Caravan Ribat. And while they all agreed on you being a very likeable and easygoing person, many of them also made fun of you behind your back, for the simple fact of you being overweight

a fact that you had always struggled with since your childhood. You've tried a many great ways to loose weight, yet either nothing worked or only had very short lived success

eventually, you gave up hope and stopped trying, instead learning to love and accept yourself for who you are

And exactly that love you held for yourself is what drew Dehya to you in the first place, eventually falling in love with all of you. Sometimes, you yourself couldn't believe that she actually loved you, questioning how you got so lucky. But not like you were complaining about it

Still, the glances and whispers people threw your way when you were walking through the streets, hand in hand with Dehya, often brought you down, knowing exactly what they were talking about

but anytime that happened, Dehya jumped right in, telling those people off, yelling at them to mind their own damn business. And it always worked as they hurried away, afraid of her wrath coming their way

whenever this happened, she'd always comfort you afterwards, knowing that, despite everything, words like that still hurt and weighed down on you. She'd then always tell you how much she loved you, how beautiful you were to her, pointing out everything she loved about you. It always helped to brighten your mood again

then one day, it just so happened that while you were out on a date with Dehya, someone decided to be bold and walk up to Dehya, finally speaking out loud what everyone was thinking

"Dehya.. why exactly are you with them?", he would ask, voice timid and quiet, yet he just had to ask

"You got a problem with my choice in parner, huh?", Dehya spoke up, ready to defend you against the entire world if she had to. She stood up from her place, standing in front of the guy as it almost seemed like she got ready for a fist fight

"N-no! I just meant... they don't.. exactly... suit you..", the guy tried to argue, but realised that with every word, he was just more and more digging his own grave

at this point, Dehya was fed up. She did not care for any onlookers as she beat up the guy. Once he was on the ground and apologizing profusely to her, she let go of him, instead addressing the crowd that had gathered around them

"Okay, everyone listen up because I'm not gonna repeat myself after this! They are my parnter, and I do not care what any of you think or have to say about it. It's my choice and you all better shut up about it, or I'll beat you up just like I did this punk!", she yelled and pointed at the guy still on the ground, blood running from his nose and mouth. Pretty sure she made him loose a teeth or two

surprisingly, after this encounter, people stopped commenting behind your back, your days becoming much calmer and more enjoyable since than. And even if you might not agree with Dehya's actions, you couldn't deny that it did have a positive outcome

Childe

most people would suspect that a person as active in their day to day life as Childe, would want a parnter that is at least similar to them in that way

yet, when they find out that his significant other is actually disabled and in a wheelchair, they can't hide the surprised sounds and expression on their faces

they can't possibly imagine how a relationship like that would last very long, seeing as the two of you would be polar opposites

oh boy, would they be surprised to find out that you and Childe have been going strong for several years now. Sure, you were not able to walk and sometimes, in specific situations, dependent on him, but those are also the moments Childe loved, when he got to show his strength when lifting you up or doing something else for you

at first, you felt stupid for having to rely on him in those specific situations, since you always strived to be as independent as possible, despite your situation. Yet Childe always comforted you, telling you that it wasn't a weakness at all to ask for help every now and then. On the contrary, knowing when you need help can be a great strength. So, that's how you decided to see things from then on, and it did help you a lot

and even though you were bound to this chair, that did not stop the enjoyment you held towards life. You loved traveling around, exploring the world and expieriencing it first hand

it helped a lot that Childe got to travel around a lot thanks to his work, so you'd always ask to accompany him. Of course, there were times where he couldn't do so, but most of the time, he was happy to take you along and show you all the places he knows about, and even discovering new ones with you

whenever he couldn't take you along on his travels, he'd always come back with a tone of souvenirs for you, along with so many stories to tell you that never failed to grab your attention, wishing that you could have been there with him

overall a very good, very protective boyfriend

the first few times he heard people talking about the two of you behind your backs, he went over to them, drawing his weapons, ready to kill whoever dared talk bad about you in his presence

word spread around quickly and soon, no one dared even mutter a word about your relationship, in fear that the Harbinger might catch wind of it and came hunting after them, ready to take their lives

Childe did not mind that reputation at all. He was already known as a battlehungry maniac, and if it meant people left you alone, not having to worry about ill intended comments, than all the better. He can handle it

the most important thing to him is, and always will be, your well being

What are Stellar's relationships like with the other main Sonic Co.?

I'll break down a handful of relevant relationships for you!!

Sonic - Stellar's dad

Stellar loves her dad, and is most like him in personality. This makes it so they are usually on the same page when it comes to what they do and don't like, but it also means that there is no one on earth who can annoy Stellar like Sonic can. 😂 As much as she loves joking around with him, sometimes his teasing and sarcasm can get on her nerves. Sonic has truly adapted to his role as an embarrassing dad, so dad jokes are non-stop in the hedgehog household. Even so, Stellar loves Sonic a lot and nothing makes her happier than running all over Green Hill with him! She wishes he'd take her on more of his big adventures.

Shadow - Stellar's papa

Stellar and Shadow are very close, but in a way that is different than how she is close with Sonic. Shadow is a quiet, steady, and responsible force in her life, one that she appreciates greatly. She knows she can rely on him for almost anything, and she finds a great amount of comfort in his presence. Shadow would do almost anything for her, and she knows it. That being said, Shadow can come across as overprotective, which becomes a point of contention between the two of them.

Tails - Uncle figure

Since Tails and Sonic were living together when Stellar arrived, he's always been an active part of her life. Once he got over the drama surrounding her existence, he was SUPER stoked to be an uncle! He was one of her regular babysitters growing up, and she really likes trying to bring out his more playful side. Even so, she finds it a bit hard to connect to him and his interests at times, as she's not very techy. She might not understand all of his brainiac lingo, but she does love all the fun gadgets he comes up with! He actually helped create her skates as a way to help vent her excess chaos energy!

Knuckles - Uncle figure

Knuckles is probably the uncle she relates to the most, as she shares his love of adventure and the outdoors! She often spends time listening to him tell stories of all the adventures he and Sonic have gone on, her eyes filled with stars. She admires him greatly, and thinks he's super cool! The only thing she doesn't get is how he can spend so much of his time sitting around and guarding the Master Emerald. She has far too much energy to be able to sit still for that long!

Amy - Aunt figure

Amy was another of her regular babysitters growing up, which is also how she and Camellia became so close. Amy would come over to visit with Camellia in tow, and the two would spend a majority of the time playing together. She sees Amy as a warm, loving person, and she feels like she could tell her almost anything. She does know not to piss her off, though! Amy is a force to be reckoned with when she's upset! Of course, she's delighted whenever she comes over, and it always helps that she brings yummy baked goods with her!

Rouge - Aunt figure

The aunt she's closest with, Rouge helped Stellar shape a lot of her personal style. She's the rich auntie type, always coming over with gifts and taking Stellar out to have girl time. She is responsible for a lot of the more feminine aspects of Stellar, seeing as she's the one who introduced the world of cosmetics to her. If it wasn't for her, Stellar would have been dressed in oversized t-shirts and running shoes all her life!

Blaze - Aunt figure

Being softer and more reserved, Stellar finds it harder to connect with Blaze. It's not that she doesn't appreciate her, she's just can find her a bit hard to read at times. She definitely exudes that queenly energy, and she can find that a bit intimidating at times. Even so, she's always happy to get opportunities to know her better, and she recognizes she's an empathetic and responsible person.

I should also mention that the only one out of this group that she genuinely sees like blood family is Tails. Everyone else are kind of like god parents or something, haha! She doesn't see any of the other fankids as cousins, basically. She sees them as peers/friends.

• Pairing: Jay Halstead x Reader.

• Requested by anon: Just sending you a request about Jay seeing your bump for the first time.

• Warnings: none, just tones of fluff.

• Word count: 1752.

• A/N: so I’m trying to update as much as I can now, I hope you’ll like this and please share, comment, reblog e like if you want, it’d mean a lot ❤️ love you all and thank you for your support.

Pregnancy sickness was no joke.

Since you found out you were pregnant, toilet and bed had become your best friends, if you weren't in bed you were throwing up and if you weren't throwing up you were in bed resting.

You were warned the first few months would be tough but not so tiring you couldn't even do the housework or even work.

Not that you had any other choice though. Jay wouldn’'t let you touch anything even if you wanted to.

In fact, since you told him you were going to have a baby, he became super protective of you, he wouldn't let you do anything, not even cook. Not that you minded, you never told him but you loved madly that protective side of him and you felt so lucky, because you knew your baby couldn't have a better father.

You couldn't wait to see them together, to see the love of your life become a father which was one of the things he wanted most. Since the good news had arrived, you immediately noticed a change in him.

Besides the overprotectiveness, he had gotten incredibly sweeter—which you didn't even think possible since he'd always been the sweetest, most thoughtful man you'd ever met—he was much more present. He was just happier.

You couldn't believe how a little bean could make him so content, happy, joyful. He was always so smiling, his beautiful green eyes sparkled so much that they alone could light up an entire galaxy. He was so beautiful it hurt, and with each passing day you loved him more and more, which you didn't even think possible.

He always tried to give you everything he could, he was always there for you, asking if you wanted some water, if you wanted something to eat, when you were throwing up he never left you alone, not even for a second, he was next to you holding your hair and he’d stroke your back, and how angry he’d get if you threw up in the middle of the night and didn't wake him up.

Every night before going to sleep he’d caress your non-existing baby bump, talking and whispering sweet things to the bean in you womb. He usually talked about his day, how much he already loved him/her and couldn't wait to hold him or her in his arms.

He had already started buying a huge amount of toys, cradles, strollers, even though the baby was several months away and how much you enjoyed seeing him built the cradle with that joy printed on his face which made him even more irresistible.

The more you looked at him, the more you didn't know what you had done to deserve such a beautiful person by your side, how could’ve you been lucky enough to give your child the best father that any person could even think of having.

That baby wasn't even fully formed yet and already had Jay wrapped around his finger.

“It'a okay baby I'm here, everything will be alright,” Jay kept whispering comforting words to you as he held your hair with one hand and stroked your back with the other as you threw up. What better way to start the day than having your face down the toilet?

God you hated this, you couldn't wait for this phase of constant vomiting and endless exhaustion to end. It was a nightmare.

“I'm so sorry my love. I wish I could take this from you.”

You shook your head slightly. “It's not your fault,” you muttered initially “Actually yes, it's mostly your fault.”

He laughed. “I'll take all the blame.”

You stood up and feeling dizzy, you leaned on Jay, who put his arm around your hips, holding you tightly to keep you from falling.

“Baby are you alright? Do you need to lay down?” he asked, his voice worried. It broke his heart to see you sick and so weak and, above all, not being able to do anything to help you.

“No, no, I just want to brush my teeth now,” you replied “Baby you will be late for work.”

“There's no way in hell I'll leave you right now, forget it, I'll be late I don't care, Voight will understand.”

“No baby he won't,” you chuckled, knowing your boss well.

“Like I said, I don't care about anything or anyone but you, you are my priority and I want to take care of you baby,” he retorted before leaving a kiss on the top of your head and from the tone of his voice you understood there was no room for you to argue.

After brushing your teeth, Jay went into the kitchen to make you something to eat for breakfast, and while you were changing into a shirt (obviously Jay's), you noticed something that made your heart leap with joy.

Your belly was finally starting to show.

It must’ve been the pregnancy hormones, but you started crying with happiness. It was an indescribable feeling seeing your baby growing inside of you. You didn't tear your eyes away from the mirror even for a second as your hands continued to caress your baby bump, the shirt lifted.

You stood in profile, facing the mirror and God, you would never have believed that just seeing your belly grow could give you such an indescribable emotion. When had it happened? When did it grow so much? Did it just grow overnight?

You were so distracted by looking at your belly in the mirror you didn't even notice Jay had run into your bedroom, worried stiff.

“Baby what the hell? Why you didn’t answer me? You scared the shit out of me, I thought you passed out or something.”

If you weren't so up in the clouds, you would’ve teased him about his overblown concern and the way he always thought the worst.

You turned to him. “Baby look!” you exclaimed, cheering like a little girl in a candy store.

Jay's gaze dropped to your belly and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he too noticed your growing baby bump. His mouth dropped open in amazement and at the same time a huge smile formed on his face.

“Oh my god…” he sighed, not expecting to tear up at the sight of your belly growing. How could he not be moved though? His baby was in there growing, his child.

“God baby you're so fucking gorgeous,” he said before pulling you into a warm hug. He kissed you like if his life depended on it, his hands on your face. “I love you so, so, much I can't even explain it.”

“Jay….” you whispered, feeling him sniffle. You broke away from his embrace for a moment, noticing how he looked down and immediately tried to wipe away his tears. “Oh baby….”

He shook his head, but you placed your hands on his face and lifted his head, forcing him to look at you. With your thumbs, you wiped away his tears even though in the meantime you were the one who was crying.

“Don't cry please you're gonna make me cry too.”

He giggled through his tears, hugging you again before pulling away and showering you with kisses.

“I'm sorry baby I just… I just feel so lucky, so blessed to have you,” he said, then looked down at your still uncovered baby bump, “You both are my miracles. I honestly don’t what I did to deserve both of you.”

His hand began to caress your belly his eyes used on jt as you looked at him, your eyes scanning every inch of his face. Seeing him so happy filled your heart with so much joy you were almost afraid it was all just a beautiful dream.

“The mother of my children… Man, how did I get so lucky?” he marveled, but he seemed more talking to himself than you. It was as if he was trying to convince himself about what he had done in his life to deserve such happiness, but he really didn't know how to answer. Before you could say anything, he leaned in front of you, lowering himself to your belly.

He started planting kisses all over your belly, as his hands continued to caress you. Just the sight of this brought tears to his eyes and you had put a hand in front of your mouth to avoid bursting into tears like a fountain.

“Hi baby it's your dad again,” he whispered after giving a kiss on your baby bump, addressing the little bean inside you. “Hurry up and get out of here buddy, I really can’t wait to hold you… And also because I don't like seeing mommy feel so sick, I know it's not your fault but I just want her to always feel good,” he sniffed again and by then you had lost every ounce of self-control and became a total mess, “I love her so much baby and you can't understand how lucky you are to have a mom like her, and how lucky I am to have someone so wonderful and fantastic like her by my side, to spend the rest of my life with… And I love you madly too little bean, I haven't even seen you yet and you've already made me fall madly in love with you and if only you could look at me…” he chuckled “I'm a mess right now and I only saw the baby bump… I can’t even imagine what will happen when you’ll be here…”

As your hand stroked through his hair, your face was still streaked with tears and when Jay looked up at you and noticed you were crying, he stood up and placed his hands on your cheeks before wiping away your tears.

“I'm just…These damned hormones…” You let out a sob and you both laughed.

“Sorry love I didn't mean to make you cry,” he said, giving you kisses and kissing your tears away. It wasn't new to see you with tears in your eyes every time Jay spoke to the baby, so he had gotten used to it a bit even if it wasn't easy anyway, he hated that even a single tear wet your face.

“How about we go do some shopping for our baby?” Jay asked, giggling when he saw how your eyes lit up and how you stopped crying as soon as you heard the word shopping.

God what I’d do without you.

YOUR REQUESTS ARE OPEN !!! could i please ask for some headcanons of Thor with a daughter whos way younger than Magni and Modi and shes just ,, a total daddies girl, she follows him everywhere, mimics him in everything he does, shes just his biggest fan lol !

i know this was sent in forever ago and i'm so sorry it took me forever to get around to... but i hope you enjoy this anyway..... reader is pictured as a child between 7-9 but it kinda jumps around a little

fem!reader (no pronouns used) | no tws

NEW TAGLIST!!

thor with a daughter who adores him headcanons

you are his absolute pride and joy. he is horrible at expressing his feelings in every way imaginable, but it's so obvious to everyone around him that he cherishes you so very much

you're actually his mini-me, and he's so proud of that. he doesn't think of himself as a good person to look up to in any sense, but you do, and he'd be lying if he said it didn't make his heart swell

you're so young, so innocent and kind.. but all you seem to want to do is be exactly like him. despite all of the atrocities he's committed, things he hopes you'll never find out about.. you want to be just like him

he hopes you don't find out about everything he's done. he wants you to look up to him in this way for the rest of his life. he takes it and holds onto it tight, the feeling in his heart and the warmth in his soul.. it feels so good to be loved

you have no way of knowing how much he appreciates you. you're just a child, but you show him more love than he feels he deserves. walking up to his legs, wrapping him in such a tiny hug.. he needs it. he needs to feel how you make him feel

his relationship with you definitely makes him reflect on how he needs to be better for magni, modi and thrúd as well

definitely denies having a favorite child, but everyone with common sense can EASILY tell it's you. you're never not by his side and he always gets so giddy whenever he's with you

your existence makes him better. he never thought that one person could change everything about him, but that's just the truth with you. you inspire him and you are what he fights for

he doesn't ever want you to be afraid of him, but when you get old enough to question what he's done.. he's take a really mature approach to that whole conversation. he doesn't want to lie to you, and he won't, ever. but he still wishes you never knew. he knows it'll change your view of him

back to happier things

piggy back rides— definitely a big thing for him. it's so special to him to just be able to spend time with you, and he wonders how he was able to get this lucky with you at all

your protector. having the god of thunder as your father means you have constant security— but it's only because he cares so much about you he can't bear to think of you getting hurt— so he keeps you safe himself

this need to protect you only increases at the deaths of his sons. he's terrified for your future but he tries not to think about it

you're his biggest fan, always rooting for him no matter what. you are what makes him realize he needs to stand up to his father. he isn't a punching bag, he isn't free labor, he's a real person and he deserves to be treated that way

and when you start developing powers of your own? he's over the moon, ready to train you in using those powers right from the beginning

overall, he becomes a better father and a better person through you and your outlook on the world. it's a very sweet, special thing to him <3

[the-fluff-piece]

Law's wedding day

Fluffy, fluffy sfw story about Law x fem!reader getting married. In this first part it's the evening before this great event and he thinks about his past.

Tomorrow was the big day, Law would marry the love of his life and everyone he ever cared about was there. It was absolutely overwhelming to him, he couldn't fathom that this was really happening. There had been enough moments in his life when this seemed like a fever dream. First he thought he wouldn't live that long - than he was driven by revenge. But he found someone that completely changed his priorities and turned his life upside down, for the better.

He sat in his room in the polar tang and dreaded the tradition that he had to be apart from her on the night before their wedding. It was the first time in months that he had to endure a night without her and the loneliness didn't really help his anxiety.

His gaze fell on his suit hanging on the wall, ready for the big day. It suddenly seemed to big to fill for him. Too much meaning entwined within. Would he be a good husband? What did he know of love or family?

Like so often when he felt alone and had no one to turn to, he looked up to the night sky. It made him think of all the people that where gone. And in moments like these, it felt like a conduit to the past.

"Hey Cora-San, how are you?", he began talking to the stars above him. He didn't have a picture or a reminder of him, so he just spoke to the same sky he had once shared with his savior. "You wouldn't believe what happened. I asked her to marry me and she said yes! I will be a husband. I will have a family.", he happily announced, imagining Corazon smoking on his bed. "I'm really proud of you Law!", he would say. "I knew you could do it! You're free!", he would probably add proudly.

He would be so proud, Law thought as the image of his dear friend faded and he was alone again. I wish he could be there when I say my vows. I wish he would slip and fall on the dancefloor the whole evening. The thought made him chuckle. But he won't.

Like many he'd cared about - he won't be there. It has been so long, Law could only guess what his parents might be like on his wedding day. Would his father have made a far too long, awkward speech, spiked with typical dad jokes? He hoped so. Would his mother have cried when he kissed his bride? Maybe. And Lami...? He didn't even know who she would have become. But he was sure she would have been unnerving and wild and absolutely wonderful.

As his thoughts where slipping towards all he had lost, there was a knock on the door. "Law?", Bepo's familiar murmur came from beneath the door. "Law, are you awake?"

"Yes, what is it?", Law answered.

"I can't sleep, I am so nervous", the blushing bear confessed as he opened the door. "Can we...I mean can we just...talk?"

"Sure", Law pointed at his bed and his first men sat down with a groan. "Aren't you nervous?", he asked shyly.

"A little", Law answered, raking his hands through his hair. "It is a big day after all."

"It is", Bepo said.

They sat in silence for a few moments, the huge mink staring at his fumbling paws. "I hope I don't mess up my speech", he said softly.

"And even if, it would be funny", Shachi's voice said from the half open door. "Mind if we join you?", Penguin asked while already pressing past his buddy.

Law knows that he won't be able to stop them and points towards the bed. All three of them where sitting there squeezed on his small bed in the small cabin, Law sitting at his desk. They brought some grog, for the nerves and where in the highest of spirits. "MAN LAW I am so HAPPY", Shachi announces to half the ship. "This will be an awesome wedding! I'm gonna eat and drink so much!", Penguin chimes in. It seemed to inspire Bepo, the bear seemed happier and more relaxed. "Oh, I look forward to my suit. Law and me have similar outfits. It will be so great!", his black eyes gleamed with unfiltered joy.

A chuckle escaped Law's throat, his gloomy thoughts gone. "Now you smile Law, but wait until I tell everyone in my speech what a weird kid you were!", Shachi joked. "What?! At my wedding? In front of my bride?", Law shook his fist. "Like the story when you tried to use your powers to fly and hit your head so hard you almost past out?"

Penguin, Shachi and Bepo exploded in laughter - it was so infectious Law couldn't help but smile, too. "If you do that it's toilet cleaning duty for a month!", Law reprimanded him.

"What's going on here, you guys are so loud I can barely sleep!", Hakugan stood in the door frame with his hands on his hips, his white mask gleaming like a ghost in the shadows.

"Yeah, you look so tired, man!", Penguin teases and they laugh some more.

"Jeez boys, can you tune it down?", Ikakkus locks appeared behind Hakugan. "If you're throwing a party at least tell us?", she complained. Law could already see more figures in the hallway as both of them squeezed into the tiny room, too.

"It's getting really crowded in here", Law said, jumping a little in his chair when Jean Barts giant face appeared in the porthole of Law's room.

"Hey, I want to party, too!", his muffled voice could be heard from outside. "There is no party here", Law screamed at the crowded cabin. "Party? We're in!", Law could hear even more of his crew from outside. This was getting out of hand - everyone pushed into his room.

Unnerved, he summoned a room that engulfed the ship and teleported everyone, including himself, on deck, so he could finally breathe again. When everyone thumbed onto the polar tang, there was a short moment of confusion - until Penguin screamed "PARTY ON DECK", followed by a collective "YEAH!", as everyone started bustling around to get tables, food and drink outside to get the party really going. Law stood there, baffled, as he watched his crew.

They where a great bunch, he would be getting married to a great girl. On the horizon, he could see the lights of the straw hat's boat. They were great friends. Fully realising that he was surrounded by his friends - his found family, Law couldn't be happier. For the first time in so many years, he could hardly wait what the future would bring him. With a laugh, he joined his crew.

In the next part, Law's wedding will take place. There will be quite a lot of fun. Will Bepo mess up his speech? What will the straw hat crew do? Who will take the microphone and sing karaoke?

Decided to finish Pulasan! He's a drain fly!

In the fruitbugs' equivalent of eastern Europe, there's a whole level called (creatively) the 'Spooky level'- it's a place where the sun never rises, with a small village, a castle on a mountain (Bloodlime's) and a forest full of dead trees. Very few people go in the forest, mostly because there's not much there besides agressive, cartoonishly 'spooky' foes- but Pulasan is one of the very few fruitbugs that lives there. He calls himself a 'were' drain fly, but he looks and acts the same regardless of moon phases. Unlike some trans fruitbugs, Pulasan was coded as a trans man by default- the reason being that the fruitbugs creator, despite being straight and cis, thinks big, hairy trans men are cool. Deep down it makes him question his orientation, but the creator tries to shove it aside- however his secret repeated interactions with Pulasan in-game is telling. Pulasan was also given the ability to create 'wolf' foes the first word in quotations since Pulasan doesn't actually know what a wolf is, so they're more bug like than anything in both appearance and behavior (they chitter, and climb on trees). Those wolves foes have a mind of their own, but they obey Pulasan completely- they're more like weapons/bullets than anything despite that.

Pulasan is feared by some, due to his 'unusual' attitude- his thing is that he loves to live a feral life, where he bites and claws people he dislikes! He's not shy about it too, feeling no remorse after biting or clawing... Or so it seems! Pulasan DOES loves to bite, but he does feel bad, and most importantly he feels lonely. He has no friends- other fruitbugs heard of his behavior and avoids him as a result, even if the individual is 'stronger' than Pulasan himself. So he just wishes to one day meet someone who will either understand him and accept his personality, or, better, bite and claw with him. However Pulasan doesn't actually seek out people to meet and accept him- he just stays in his dead forest, hoping his lover will just appear one day- and that'll be the case, since players will have to go meet him in order to finish the game. As a person, besides his feral act, Pulasan is definitely love and attention-starved, which can make him very eager to get closer. In general he's always brash, loudly speaking (or roaring) what's on his mind, but he's even more so with people he likes. He'll be awkwardly overly eager/enthusiastic with any conversation, even you talk about the weather with him. Pulasan's just very happy to finally see someone who wants to be his friend! If you were to join in in his eagerness, or/and befriend him, then he'd get even happier (and probably won't be able to contain it)! He might try to act cool sometimes to impress you and can be a bit clingy, but he's fiercely loyal and will protect you from pretty much anything... Except a sentient bathtub, maybe. If a serious relationship is started with Pulasan, then he'll be very in need of physical affection and time spent together. He'll be much gentler with you, trying not to be constantly loud, but still just as happy.

#o #rose'socs #fruitbugs #fruitbugs pulasan #finally got around to make a ftm bear type of guy. more to come 💖 #and yes he's the autistic 'biting you biting you biting you' type #the giant teeth in the true form is based on the drain fly's mouthparts who seem super long? at least in what i saw #trying to make ref pics more dynamic- i hope the design stays clear despite the poses goinh on? #i know that at least on the true form it's hard to see but: his hair is still long/the same as regular form it's just behind the arm

This one is gonna talk about trauma (vaguely but still) so if that's not something you want, you've been warned. Largely it's more of a focus on the influence trauma has on Kakashi and how I think he'd learn to heal because I'd rather write happier thoughts than just angst.

I think there's some interesting stuff you could write about with Gai helping Kakashi handle his trauma. Kakashi has this shift in healing that I really think could be interpreted as learning to heal with Gai at his side.

I imagine Kakashi is avoidant of physical touch that gets better as he grows up. He actively doesn't want to hurt anyone so he's reluctant to even touch people on the shoulder, he shies away from hugs and startles when others try to touch him. Usually keeps himself a little further away from people in a group setting, just enough to feel like he's keeping them safe.

I also think it's Gai who helps him a lot with this. With all their competitions and Gai just generally communicating love through touch, I imagine it's just something Kakashi doesn't notice getting better until there's significant progress. There are still times where Kakashi struggles with touch but Gai finds a good balance with him of respecting his wishes and ensuring that his touch stays a familiar safe presence and keeps him from being touch starved. The times where Kakashi initiates things like fistbumps always results in such a sincere smile from Gai like he's given his friend the best present he could have asked for.

Being guarded and untrusting. There's probably multiple reasons why. He doesn't want to hurt others, he's afraid of himself, he refuses to lose more people - just naming a few. But this is a common enough response to trauma. Again I think it's Gai who really helps start the shift here.

Kakashi would still care deeply for people he lets in even if he comes across as distant. But I imagine Gai is just an unwavering support system for him. I'm talking like laying on the floor in his bedroom together talking about the latest flashback, just letting Kakashi blurt out everything on his mind with no judgement no commentary until he's done. And even when he is, just a reminder that he's there for him, always will be.

I'm talking like Gai being able to get Kakashi to open up to him even if he can't do that with anyone else. Regular check ins when Gai knows something's wrong from the small slips in facade when Kakashi relaxes enough around him.

And I'm talking Kakashi in return being there for Gai. Immediately able to recognise the attempt to hide a negative emotion and trying his best to meet Gai in the middle. A little hesitant to reach out and console him but not allowing himself to pull back, commited to try and help as he figures out what to say. Speaking softly and calmly with gentle movements to show Gai he's safe with him.

I also think that Kakashi knows how important it is to have Gai in his life. When he confronted Sasuke he claimed everyone he loved is already dead, not allowing anyone to understand the depths behind his friendship with Gai. Refusing to have a target placed on the person who never feared him being too much or too dangerous.

The whole silly rivalry they portray highlights some of their dynamic and brings out better traits in Kakashi that his distant act doesn't allow normally. But it also keeps them safer, keeps them able to be there for each other.

#tw trauma #kakashi hatake #kakashi & gais friendship is so pure to me I just think they make each other better #got a lot of thoughts today but i just kind of see gai as the force of good who influences kakashi to be better for his own sake ya know? #gai maito

❝ so, what would you be? if you had to power to change all the things making you unhappy, what would your life look like? ❞ (Leah; @mxrvelouscreations)

@mxrvelouscreations

Luther liked this place. It was laidback, it had great food, and there was one particularly cute waitress who, for some reason, seemed to enjoy talking to him. It helped him to feel a little less alone to come here and hang out for a bit. Plus things were reasonably priced. Until he was able to find another job after leaving San Francisco, he'd have to scrape by on very little, so he appreciated the affordability of the menu.

He'd told Leah a little about his situation, but not much. He was new here, he'd just moved into a nearby apartment building, and he was looking for work. He'd left a longtime but bad employment situation and was looking for a new start. That's about all he wanted to share, both because he didn't want to get her wrapped up in his problems, and because he was too ashamed to tell her that he'd actually killed somebody.

As he chowed down on his cheeseburger with extra pickles, Luther half smirked at her question. "You really wanna know?" he asked, putting the burger down and wiping his mouth. "Actually I always kinda wished I'd gone into law enforcement. I don't know why, I just think it would've been a better fit for me. So I guess if things had gone better for me and I'd had a happier life, I'd be a cop by now," he said with a chuckle, taking a sip of his Coke.

[bridgertonbabe]

Of course Alex fucked up with Eliza again! He’s his father’s son! And he’s a bridgerton and patience is NOT their virtue!

Can’t wait to see how a) Alex mucks up and b) how Eliza eventually forgives him for being a complete tosser and then mucking up and c) how they finally get back together and if, like his dad it does take 6 years 😂

After his talk with his dad Alex had actually trekked over to Lizzie's house to apologise but when he reached the corner of her road he saw her just outside her home with her boyfriend and his heart sunk. She was so smiley and enamoured with the muggle boy that any hopes of being able to eventually win her round plummeted. As much as it pained him he continued to linger, tortuously watching on as Lizzie kissed her boyfriend goodbye and waved him off as he left in the opposite direction where Alex was stood. He would have taken the opportunity to march up to her and beg for her forgiveness but he hesitated. It occurred to him that just because he wanted to apologise to her right then and there to make himself feel better, it didn't mean that was what Lizzie wanted and he didn't want to impose on her and sour her mood any further. With great reluctance he forced himself to turn around and head home, deciding instead to wait until they were back at school to extend his apologies to her.

Except once they were back at Hogwarts, Lizzie steered well clear of him as best as she could. It didn't matter if she was sat with William and Charlotte at mealtimes, if Alex started heading over she'd immediately abandon her friends and walk straight out the Great Hall; she'd purposefully look the other way or keep her head down if they were ever passing each other by in the corridors between classes; and worst of all she stopped attending the Art Club which was where they used to have most of their one-on-one time together throughout the school year. As the weeks wore on Alex's despair grew more and more and he pulled his younger brother aside one day, desperately pleading with William to talk to Lizzie and let her know just how much he wanted to make amends. At first William didn't want to get involved and though neither his brother or best friend had told him what their falling out was over, he was on Lizzie's side without question knowing his brother must have said something to really upset her for her to not let the issue drop. However he wasn't without feeling for his brother and when Alex mentioned that Lizzie was going so far as to no longer attend Art Club, William relented and assured him that he'd have a word with his friend but that he wasn't going to push her if she still didn't want anything to do with Alex.

Lizzie was still terribly distraught about her fight with Alex even though she put on a tough front and acted as if their falling out hadn't affected her emotionally. Their argument played over again and again in her head, how condescending and rude he had been towards her and the lack of faith he had in Tyler ever accepting her magical identity. He had touched a nerve because while she didn't want to admit it, Lizzie was terrified of ever telling her boyfriend about her other life and losing him over it.

Tyler had made her happier and more confident in herself than ever before and the thought of losing him scared her - and yet frustratingly despite how incensed she was with him, a tiny part of her still clung onto some sort of hope that Alex's sudden attitude towards her regarding Tyler could be out of jealousy. She tried to shake off what she believed to be her foolish heart's wishful thinking - as if Alexander Bridgerton would finally fancy her back just as she was moving on from him - however she couldn't help humouring the thought because it would at least explain why Alex had become so antagonistic towards her out of nowhere. The more rational part of her brain dismissed the thought as nothing more than a silly notion from the distant lingering feelings for Alex that she had yet to fully wash herself of, and she had to insist upon herself to pay them no mind; she had to look forward and focus on what she had with Tyler instead of what she had spent four long years wishfully yearning for with her best friend's older brother. It was this underlying internal conflict which had caused her to double down on avoiding Alex because had she been fully over him she'd at least be willing to hear him out, but out of dread of forgiving him and being around him again and having her affections for him potentially resurface, she decided she had to stop interacting with him altogether.

Though it was a massive effort to undertake Lizzie was determined to stick to her guns and did everything she could to dodge Alex as best she could. She had nearly gone two full months before William tried coaxing her to at least hear his brother out and though her friend acknowledged she was cutting off her nose to spite her face by no longer attending Art Club just to avoid Alex, she stubbornly stood her ground and insisted she was just no longer interested in painting now that they had their OWLs to be concentrating on. William didn't fight her on the matter and didn't raise it with her again much to her relief, and from then on she saw even less of Alex around Hogwarts and she thought perhaps he had finally got the message that she no longer wanted anything to do with him.

The first term passed by quickly and soon it was December and the older years were gearing up for the Yule ball that would be taking place in two weeks time. Lizzie was largely unbothered by the excitement of it all and was simply looking forward to a night hanging out with William and Charlotte; however she was having to endure the inconvenience of a seventh year by the name of Jayden Mitchell not taking a hint.

The Gryffindor had asked her to the ball twice before but despite her polite rejections he didn't seem to comprehend her answer of "no". Then one afternoon as she had been perusing a bookshelf in the library, Jayden once again materialised and asked her for a third exasperating time. Lizzie turned him down once more and despite his protestations she stood her ground and made it as clear as humanly possible that she wasn't the least bit interested. Jayden persisted, arguing that as muggleborns that they had to stick together and it wasn't like any of the purebloods were going to ask her. Lizzie rolled her eyes at Jayden's flagrant attempt to make her feel insecure and give in to him and went to walk away from him only for him to block her path. He then backed her into the shelves, gripping her tightly by the wrist and told her she would go to the ball with him whether she liked it or not and that he wouldn't hesitate to slip her a love potion or even go so far as to confund her into accepting his offer. Defiantly Lizzie still told him no, refusing to be intimidated by him which did nothing to deescalate the situation as his grip on her tightened until she audibly winced in pain - but then all of a sudden Jayden was wrenched off of her and flung into the opposing shelf rack.

Lizzie was stunned when she heard Alex's voice reiterating the fact of the matter that she had told Jayden no and looked to him in awe as he put himself between her and the Gryffindor as a means to protect her. Even with Alex's presence however, Jayden refused to back down and and demanded to know what business of Alex's it was to get involved. Lizzie couldn't believe her ears when Alex firmly told Jayden that it was his business as he was taking Lizzie to the ball. As bowled over as she was to hear the lie fall from Alex's mouth, she remained silent on the matter when she realised Jayden had nothing to fight back with. Pissed off but with no other choice but to accept defeat, Jayden stalked off muttering bitterly under his breath.

As soon as the bully was out of sight Alex immediately turned round to Lizzie and checked she was okay. She insisted she was fine and thanked him for coming to her aid before they fell into a tense silence once it occurred to them both that this was the first time they had spoken to each other ever since their falling out. Lizzie wasn't sure what to say but she couldn't in good conscience continue ignoring him especially after he had just come to her rescue. Just as she went to speak, Alex blurted out an apology before earnestly expressing just how sorry he was for everything he had said to her, for everything he had implied, and for hurting her so much that she had opted to avoid him than spend even a single minute in his company. He voiced his desperation of just how badly he wanted to make things right, to repair their friendship and for their relationship to go back to normal, and he just hoped she could find it in her to give him a second chance. Though a part of her wanted to maintain her distance from him for the selfish reason of wanting to prevent any fanciful feelings for him from returning, deep down she knew she couldn't keep punishing him for his poorly articulated words, words which he clearly regretted in great abundance.

Much to Alex's eternal relief his apology was accepted and Lizzie assured him that she believed him and that she too wanted to rebuild their friendship. He then offered her another apology but this time it was for claiming that he was taking her to the ball. He truly hadn't meant to come out with it (even if it was what he secretly desired) but his mind had been scrambling to come up with something to finally put an end to Jayden harassing her and unfortunately pricks like him only backed down if a girl was spoken for instead of taking her response of no as an answer for its own. Lizzie waved off his apology, acknowledging that the lie was frustratingly necessary to get Jayden to leave her alone and thanked Alex whole-heartedly for stepping in when he did.

Then much to Alex's surprise Lizzie enquired if the lie had thrown a spanner in the works for his plans for the ball, in case he had already asked someone else and word ended up getting back to his date that he was allegedly taking Lizzie. He assured there was nothing to worry about since he hadn't planned on attending the ball anyway. Alex hadn't expected Lizzie's incredulous reaction to him missing out on his final Yule ball and demanded to know why. Truthfully the last term had been such an endurance for him that he simply hadn't been in the mood to humour the winter formal - but another underlying reason was him wanting to make himself scarce so Lizzie could enjoy the ball without having to spend the entire evening avoiding him. In lieu of being honest with her, Alex casually shrugged off his intention to skip the ball to being nothing more than him not being bothered. He was shocked when Lizzie insisted he attend - and was further staggered when she reasoned that he had to go since he was her date. For a brief second his heart lit up with excitement before Lizzie pointed out that Jayden would now be expecting them to attend together so it was necessary they keep up the lie. Alex weakly tried offering to feign sickness on the night of the ball but in the same breath thought aloud as he acknowledged that his absence might only give Jayden free rein to harass her again; and so the pair decided then and there to go through with attending the ball together.

Though they were simply going as friends and as a means to keep Jayden at bay, Alex couldn't help the feelings he harboured for Lizzie. He had to keep reminding himself that they were only friends, that Lizzie was still with Tyler, and that he should just be grateful that he had her back in his life once more. Meanwhile unbeknownst to him, Lizzie was experiencing a similar conflict of emotions. Though her heart was almost singing with glee at the thought of going to the Yule ball with Alexander Bridgerton, she had to pragmatically remind herself that it meant nothing, that Alex didn't like her romantically (in spite of the naive idealistic long-lasting hopes that he potentially might), and that she was already very happily coupled up with Tyler. In fact she was certain that a part of her was merely wishful for the date to have some sort of meaning purely because she hadn't seen Tyler in so long and was missing him; she had to be projecting her pining for her boyfriend onto the next best thing, she just had to be.

On the day of the ball Alex met Lizzie along with William and Charlotte at the entrance to the Great Hall, and as soon as he laid eyes on Lizzie his heart skipped a beat. She was wearing a beautiful sparkly rose gold dress that made her perfectly resemble the illustrations of fairytale princesses that his mum used to read to him when he was little, and he was utterly in awe and couldn't believe his luck to have someone as heavenly-looking as her on his arm for the night.

She's not yours, she's not yours, she's not yours. His brain frantically reminded him as she caught sight of him and sent a winsome smile his way.

A small part of him wished he had pretended to be ill after all if only to keep his distance from Lizzie and prevent his heart from aching any more than it already was just from being around her, but he forced himself to put his feelings to one side as the whole point of accompanying her in the first place was to keep her safe and out of harm's way from Jayden. He simply had to let go of his emotional hang-ups and simply enjoy the evening for what it was; time spent with a close friend. Though he wasn't too big a fan of dancing he let loose for Lizzie's benefit as they jumped about and spun around on the dancefloor together, exchanging laughs as well as spying on William and Charlotte as they discreetly spiked the punch bowl. He caught sight of Jayden a few times on the edge of festivities skulking about miserably but he paid him no mind; so long as Lizzie was having a stress-free night, that's all that mattered.

Eventually Alex and Lizzie wore themselves ragged from all the dancing and singing along and after first collapsing back into their chairs at their table, they decided to head out into the gardens in order to cool down faster. It was a particularly cold December night so nobody else had dared to venture outside but Alex was pleased to have the opportunity to relax in relative peace away from the festivities raging on inside. After sitting together on a bench to catch their breath back, they then went for a stroll around the gardens as they caught up on everything they had missed out on over the intervening months being absent from each other's lives. Their endless conversations flowed just as they always did and Alex was simply elated to have Lizzie back in his life and have everything returned to what it once was - except for the fact he was now in love with her.

Lizzie then paused and took a moment to thank Alex once again for looking out for her with Jayden and for going out of his way to accompany her to the ball, a show of gratitude that Alex reassured her was completely unnecessary because he would always look out for her no matter what. His heart fluttered when Lizzie smiled at him and told him she had missed him, a sentiment he instantly echoed before Lizzie gave him a hug.

The embrace did nothing to settle the butterflies raging madly in his stomach and as he hugged her back he savoured everything about it; the feel of her against him, the smell of her hair, how perfectly they seemed to fit each other. He only wished it could have lasted a few seconds longer before Lizzie drew back and gave him an enchantingly soft smile - and then without thinking, Alex leaned in and kissed her.

She gasped out his name in surprise after his lips had pressed against hers and it invigorated him to kiss her more tenderly as his hands rested on her hips. After a few seconds Lizzie recovered from her initial shock and she sunk into the embrace, kissing him back as she laid her hands against his chest. The kiss deepened as Alex cherished every last second Lizzie allowed him and his hands moved to cup her face. The kisses they traded were everything Alex had dreamt them to be and more; never before had kissing someone made his heart race, made him feel at peace, and made him never want to break apart from the embrace. Nobody else had ever captured him the way Lizzie had and more than anything he wished to capture her in exactly the same way as he drew his lips away from hers and began peppering kisses along the column of her neck. She blissfully sighed as she held him close to her, her hand running through his hair as she enjoyed the feel of his lips on her.

"Lizzie." he breathed against her in between kisses. "I love you, I love you, I love-"

When all of a sudden Lizzie shoved him off her and she reeled back, her eyes now wide and bewildered as she looked at him with a face of horror.

"Liz-"

"Why would you say that?" she swallowed. "Why would you-"

"Because I do." he blurted out. "I love you, Lizzie. I've been so blind-"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." she shook her head frantically. "That shouldn't have happened. We shouldn't have done that."

"Lizzie,"

But Lizzie had turned on her heel and was already hurrying back down the path, shaking her head as she went. Alex ran after her, calling out her name and begging her to stop so they could talk but Lizzie cried out over her shoulder for him to leave her alone. Despite her wishes Alex persisted, needing to calm her down and talk things through, to make her understand just how much he truly loved her-

When all of a sudden Lizzie whipped round and a second later Alex found himself on the ground, having been knocked back by a solid punch to the face. They looked to each other with identical expressions of shock, neither one able to process that Lizzie had just decked him.

"Sorry." she trembled. "I'm so..."

She trailed off wordlessly, her own shock rendering her speechless before she turned once more and fled back into the Great Hall. The only thing she could think of was getting out of there and back up to her dormitory and into her bed. She hurried through the crowd of dancers, ignoring who she was sure was William calling out to her as she kept her head down, slipping her way past everyone until she was hurtling down empty corridors and along staircases until she had reached the sanctuary of her dormitory. As soon as she did she burst into tears and flung herself on her bed as she tried to process everything that had just happened.

Alexander Bridgerton had kissed her. He had kissed her! After the last four years pining after him he had finally kissed her and it had been heavenly. It was more than she could have ever imagined kissing Alex to feel like; it had been all-encompassing, it had spun her world on its axis, it had been tender yet passionate and she had never felt such bliss.

But as euphoric as kissing him was, she was filled with immense guilt for cheating on Tyler. Her boyfriend who she hadn't seen in months, who would be eagerly waiting her return the very next day was none the wiser that she had been wrapped up in the arms of another boy and kissing him. She felt like the worst person in the world; she should have pushed Alex away the second his lips brushed against hers, she should have never kissed him back; but she did and now she was a cheater.

And then Alex had gone and told her he loved her, the very thing she had always longed for and dreamed about; and then she had punched him? She hadn't even meant to, she just wanted him to leave her alone to dwell in the guilt of cheating on Tyler, and instead for some reason her hand had formed a fist and smacked against Alex's face to stop him from following her.

If she had felt conflicted before the ball, it paled in comparison to the sheer amount of guilt that now consumed her as she tried to wrap her head around what on earth she should do. How could she look Tyler in the face and confess to him what happened? If she kept it to herself could she even live with lying and the guilt of it all? How was she meant to see Alex again after everything that had just happened, and just when their friendship had been back on track? Could he even still love her after she punched him square in the face? For the rest of the night Lizzie tossed and turned and cried intermittently, her brain refusing to rest as she thought through everything and anything, desperately trying to figure out where to go from there.

The next day Alex and his younger siblings returned home to My Cottage and as soon as he stepped foot out of the fireplace he stormed past his parents and straight up to his room, ignoring their calls asking what had happened to his face. He locked his bedroom door and crashed into his bed, preparing to mope the holidays away as he settled under the covers and buried his head in his pillow, hoping he could simply sleep his heartache away.

After a few hours however and after he heard his doorknob being rattled, he heard the sound of someone apparating into his room and the familiar weight of his dad sinking into the bed. Benedict gave it a few minutes before he asked his son what had happened between him and Lizzie, since William had shared with him his knowledge of the pair falling out yet again. Alex rolled over to face his dad and Benedict asked if Lizzie had been responsible for the shiner on his face, which Alex confirmed with a glum little nod. After his dad asked again, Alex revealed that he had kissed Lizzie and his dad groaned in response. He spilled everything, about making up with her and going to the ball together to save her from Jayden, how he had kissed her without thinking and told her he loved her, and then how she had run away after punching him after he refused to leave her alone. Benedict didn't know what to advise his son to do even though he had similarly been there, done that, and already got the t-shirt from his past with Sophie. All he could recommend to his son was to give Lizzie the space she needed and simply see what the new year would bring.

Alex reluctantly agreed with his father, knowing it was best to respectfully give Lizzie the time to work things out and let her reach out to him when she was ready to (if she ever would be). His parents tried their best to keep him preoccupied from dwelling on what had taken place as well as keeping him from moping in his bed for the duration of the holidays, but as hard as Alex tried to force himself to get into the swing of the festivities, his cheeriness was mostly just for show. The holidays flew by without any word from Lizzie, who hadn't even reached out to William, which had left his brother mightily pissed off with him for upsetting his best friend yet again. Alex was hopeful upon their return to school that Lizzie might finally be ready to talk - but much to his growing heartache she had returned to avoiding him once more, although this time there was an air of self-conscious discomfort instead of the previous hostility whenever they did cross paths or catch each other's gaze.

Miserably Alex accepted that he had well and truly ruined their entire relationship for good and that he'd have to make do with the melancholy that now plagued him. He tried his best to putting all of his energy into his NEWT studies but even his purposeful academic drive did nothing to quell the heartache he suffered from as he tried to sleep at night. One night in particular he couldn't stand being left to dwell with his own thoughts and jumped out of bed and left Ravenclaw tower in search for the classroom where Art Club was hosted. To take his mind off of everything he grabbed a canvas and some paints and started to paint as a way to de-stress and distract himself. Working on his art proved to be such a successfully welcome distraction that he barely even registered the creaking of the classroom door opening and closing until he suddenly sensed that he wasn't alone - and when he looked up he was shocked to see Lizzie hovering by the door.

The two of them remained still for a several beats, neither one sure what to say or do until Lizzie eventually stepped forward and looked down at the canvas he was working on. She then made shy small talk about his painting and Alex found himself responding, as if there wasn't the elephant in the room from their last interaction. Eventually Alex couldn't keep up the weak attempt of acting like nothing was wrong and blurted out an apology for everything that had happened between them; for kissing her when she had a boyfriend but also for not just letting her leave when she asked him to and provoking her into punching him. Lizzie fell silent in light of his proffered apology and Alex dreaded any sort of rejection she might respond with - but to his surprise Lizzie excused his apology for kissing her by pointing out that she had kissed him back. In turn she extended an apology for punching him, explaining she hadn't meant to and that she was deeply regretful for being violent towards him. Alex was quick to reassure her that it was okay, seeing as he hadn't respected her boundaries, and he light-heartedly complimented her on her powerful left hook. They fell quiet again as they contemplated on one another's apologies because while it had somewhat cleared the air, there was still palpable tension between them that had yet to be addressed.

Alex couldn't bear the silence filtering between them any longer and he opened his mouth to say something (even though he didn't know what exactly), when Lizzie beat him to the punch and revealed she had broken up with Tyler. As soon as she had dropped that bombshell Alex froze up. She had broken up with Tyler. She was no longer with him. Lizzie was single.

His mouth hovered open as he processed Lizzie's new relationship status (while trying to ignore the excited fluttering in his stomach), and she explained how she had felt so guilty that she didn't feel right continuing the relationship with her boyfriend. She admitted she never actually admitted to the transgression as when she had met up with him, Tyler had confessed he wasn't sure he could make the long-distance work, and so the break-up had ended up being amicable much to Lizzie's relief.

Lizzie swallowed hesitantly before she went on to explain that the reason she had been keeping her distance from Alex ever since they had returned to Hogwarts was because she wanted to take the time to figure her feelings out; and it was then she confessed she had been in love with him ever since her first year of school. She explained how she had fancied him for years and how she had tried moving on with Tyler because she thought he would never see her the way she saw him, but then he had kissed her and professed his love and it had left her utterly confused. She didn't know if he meant it or if he was just caught up in the moment but either way she didn't want to desperately cling onto his words and cloud her own judgement because of her years-long infatuation with him. She wanted to make sure what she still felt for him was real and not just a schoolgirl crush, and that she didn't want to dive straight into anything so soon after breaking up with Tyler, knowing it would be best to have some time to herself to think everything through thoroughly. After she had finished her explanation she looked to him with shining eyes, asking him how he truly felt about her and assuring him that she would be okay if his feelings for her had changed.

Alex then had the opportunity to wear his heart on his sleeve, explaining how his feelings for her remained unchanged and how much she meant to him, how much he adored her, how dearly he was in love with her. He apologised for being so slow to recognise the depths of his feelings for her and also for acting out in jealousy when she was with Tyler, not to mention kissing her knowing full well she wasn't single. He wanted her to know just how special she was to him, how kissing her made every other kiss before her pale in comparison, how he had spent the better part of the last year pining after her and wishing she felt the same way back. He was profusely sorry for every misstep of his and he could only hope that if she was willing that they could make a go of things, and he vowed he would never do anything to jeopardise or screw up what they have and what their relationship could end up blossoming to be.

Nervously he awaited her response, hoping for the chance of a lifetime; and then Lizzie stepped forward, cradled his face in her hands and kissed him. As soon as her lips had met his he melted into the kiss, holding her close and sighing with relief; both of them knowing in their heart of hearts that this was the start of the rest of their lives together.

[goatpaste]

since ur fresh out of sbr hell I wanted to ask how u felt about Johnny getting 'healed' by the corpse bc while it didn't came out of nowhere it felt like a pretty ableist way to end a story w a disabled protagonist imo

yeaH its

Johnnys story is messy for sure

i really cannot speak about it fully as an able body person for sure

while i feel Johnnys whole complex issues with his disability is real as its can be for some people. But Araki, like most topics in SBR does NOT have the place or nuance to speak on these topics a lot of the time.

Johnny's writing on his disability is messy, i do think it being more about his self deprecation over a disability he had only within recent years gain in an act of his hubris coming back to get him. Him struggling with his own turmoil or the many ways his life changed and his ability to do everything the way he used to. Him having thoughts of wishing he was able to walk again. This isn't new in terms of writing a disabled character, this is the way many are written. But i think in terms of Johnnys character as a starting point it worked. Johnny character was like that before he was disabled. he's not one for moving forward emotionally without a push. He will wallow and be a sad sack shit head about whatever until he dies unless something comes along

Had his story insteed of just being miserable about being disabled and it a focus of his character and the end goal being that he can walk again and its kinda meant to be one of the only good things he gained from the end of the story. But instead been about his obsession with the spin and then later the corpse and believing it to be some magic cure all that would make him walk again. Thinking this was the path to making his life better if he could walk again. Then the story devolving into realizing this wasn't going to make him happy, and how far he'd come as he was and how his drive has led him to be able to do all the things he loved doing before his accident and choosing to wallow in his breaking point, and the way he'd become happier than he had been in so long because he was improving himself as a person. the person he'd become and grown into because of who he was then and there, and because of the connections in his life like Lucy and Gyro.

Johnny learning to love his body and grow into his new strengths and weakness. That his shitty feelings weren't all based in his inability to walk, but lots of other things that he let pile up in his heart. and stuff instead of a story where, "yay some magic corpse 'fixed' me/my problems"

like yeah again, maybe im not the best person to interperate the 'right' way to tell this story, or explain my full feelings on it. But i do feel that Johnnys whole character arc and story about his disability and goal to walk again could been handled better at the very least! idk, again. im sure theres gonna be a lot of different points to be had about Johnny's character in a lot of different ways ykno.

I'm the anon who sent a message about having an amazing boyfriend but I feel like he deserves better the other day. I wanted to update that he's helping me work past my fears and guilt about being with him. If I open up to him about my needs even though it scares me he tells me how proud of me he is and how much he loves me. And if I disagree with him we discuss it and we always end with being super lovey and he again tells me he's proud of me for being able to voice my opinions because he knows how scared I get. And today he was talking about how wants to marry me one day, and that if I had to move states he'd want to come with me because of how important I am to him.

So yeah I just wanted to share that even though I'm broken, and have severe PTSD from neglect, forced isolation, csa, sa, physical, emotional, mental abuse, etc. Like: I was still able to find someone so gentle and caring for me. And I'm becoming a lot happier again, maybe for the first time in my life. So like, if I was able to find my love I think others like me also have a chance to find the same happiness ♥️ and I wish you and your followers all the best wishes

thats awesome to hear anon!! Im so glad ur boyfriend is being so helpful during this for u! <3 so proud and happy 4 u! wish all the best <3

A/N: Well let’s see how this goes for out favorite dumbass -Danny

Words: 1,190

Phase Five Masterlist

Previous Chapter // Next Chapter

Listen to: ‘Special Girl’ -by Dodie

xii: Birthday Surprise

Back in New York, Cat was showing a healthier skin color than in the past few months, but she was just as miserable. Perhaps even more.

One good thing at least was that she wasn't an Avenger, the danger of having their name dragged through the mud was not possible. She had to make sure no one could link Zero and Copycat together though, and that was proving to be more complicated than expected.

"Mouse, can you hack into a network without being noticed?"

"In theory, yes. But it would take a while."

"How long?"

"I might be able to give you a stat if you tell me exactly what you want."

"My S.H.I.E.L.D files erased from existence. Can you check if any copies have been made? On paper and online."

"It would take me a while to track down all the places that file's been. From there it depends on what comes out to tell you whether it's possible to erase it entirely or not."

"Get to it, then."

Harley would not believe her if she said she was happier, but he would also be sad to hear it hadn't done anything to cheer her up. The one thing he'd asked, she couldn't do it: to stay away from trouble. In her defense, trouble had walked up to her.

Her eyes landed on her phone, it used to be a picture of her and Matthew but after they broke up she figured it was time to get rid of it so she put Pietro. The young woman looked at it wishing it could speak.

"You always knew how to handle me, not even I know how to do that... and I'm supposed to be an adult!"

Cat stared at the screen, Pietro's smiling face was looking at her, he was full of life... back then she was too. She used to be able to see the good side of things, at least to find them amusing in their irony, but now...

Nothing could've changed her life for the better had she done it differently. How did she survive all those years with no hope in sight? All thanks to her brother, Harley, and Kurt, bless their hearts, always checking on her. Matthew wasn't out of the list, but his name had a question mark and it was starting to vanish.

Cat couldn't forget the way he'd acted the last time they spoke. She'd hurt him when all he'd tried to give her was home. "Home" was not a word she could recognize as a feeling. Matthew couldn't get to her. How can you tempt someone with something they don't know? You're supposed to give it, and then you take it away. That's how you win.

"But he wasn't trying to win, was he?" She asked at her brother's picture, swallowing the lump in her throat. "I thought he'd know... I wanted to stay..."

Cat put on her heart-shaped sunglasses and left the apartment with Sharon's envelope. She had no interest in seeing what was inside, the only thing she double-checked was the money.

She put on Pietro's old leather jacket, which was falling to pieces, and walked out of the building. It'd never been a big deal, but today was supposed to be her birthday. Cat tried to remember why on earth she'd celebrated her birthday last year. She could hear young voices if she focused for long enough, but that was it. A little frustrating and worrying.

She got to Steve's old bike and turned the ignition. "Mouse, give me an update."

"About your file or the world?"

"The world."

"There's been a sighting in Egypt of two new superheroes— a woman and a man. Few men died but they were part of some kind of cult."

"What about the giant thing that came out of the sea?"

"It's just a rock, hasn't changed since it came out."

She turned right at the end of a street, barely missing an old lady. "Tell me the updates on my files, then."

"Power broker's system is strong."

"Can't go faster?"

"Not if you want me to go unnoticed. Should I remind you there is a possibility Sharon has printed a copy of your file?"

Cat drove faster. "I'll take care of it if I need to."

"Boss."

"Yeah?"

"You missed your stop."

She pulled the brakes abruptly, making a rubber mark on the pavement. "Fuck!" The mutant parked next to the sidewalk. "You could've let me know sooner..."

"I'll do it next time."

Cat approached the restaurant and tried to determine if it was a good idea to take off her sunglasses. She decided it was not. The host watched her appearance with apprehension.

"Is Mr... Jigsaw here?" A security guard approached her, she eyed him with disinterest. "You don't look like a 'Mr.' to me."

"Give us a minute, ma'am," the host said, glancing at the envelope in her hand before walking away.

A minute later he was back, she felt the security guard following her tail and she smirked, she could've taken care of the guard if she wanted to, but she wasn't there to fight. When she got to the table the older men looked at her with loads of interest. Horror washed over Cat at the sight: Billy Russo was there.

"You're one of the gorgons," she couldn't deny he was still handsome, but there was a clear difference in his face: it was covered in deep scars. "Where's your other half?"

"I'm not missing any parts," she replied, but it came out quieter than expected. To make up for it, she added: "Unlike others."

Two of the men moved but Billy raised a hand to stop them. "We have to make allowances with a lady like her," he tilted his head. "Are you here to get rid of me?"

"If I were here to kill you I would've done it by now," she threw the envelope on the table. "They have a message for you."

Billy grabbed the papers. "I'm listening."

"You can't go back to Madripoor unless you get your shit together," she seized a man's drink and sniffed it a little. "They'll send someone worse next time. I'm reasonable, you don't wanna be stuck with him, he's the bad kind of hugger."

Russo watched her down the guard's drink without making a single comment, she poured the remaining droplets on the other guard's crotch and placed it back on the circular table. This had been a warning for her as much as it was for Russo. Sharon could give away Copycat's identity to the guy that wanted her dead the most.

"I have a question," Russo said at last. "Do you work for the Power Broker?"

"I work with the Power broker sometimes. But mostly for myself, and occasionally, my cat."

"What's your name? I doubt you chose the name Gorgon."

The woman sighed deeply, she managed to sound bored. "I don't care how any of you pathetic rich guys call me as long as you pay. Zero's good enough."

Billy raised his glass and winked at her. "Zero."

"See you never, if you're lucky," she smiled, briefly waving at him in a flirty manner before exiting the place.

By the time she climbed on her bike, Cat decided to quit working for these people no matter how petty she felt, would rather eat her own foot before helping any of Russo's friends.

[kittytheartist]

*cough* so is anyone gonna comment on how Tsukasa made an entire fake world for Mitsuba to be happy in and didn’t bother him a single bit. Like he just let Mitsuba live his fake life

hi Anon!

you're SOOO right! no one talks about that but??like?? that's so cute?? and people say Tsukasa doesn't even like Mitsuba, like what? what was that? because what I'm reading is that MITSUBA IS ONE OF THE ONLY PEOPLE TSUKASA CARES FOR!!

he gave Mitsuba his own present, he's tried to grant his wish how many times??

can't believe people think Tsukasa doesn't care about Mitsuba! he says he likes Mitsuba!

and he got him a gift! a welcoming gift, because he cares, who has he given a gift to before in this manga besides Hanako? he used to bring his brother gifts all the time, and he gave Mitsuba something he thought he'd like!

something to help his wish come true, and he lets Mitsuba have fun and meet people, just like he wanted and remember, Mitsuba is a main character okay? it's not just about Hanako or something, this whole fake world wouldn't be a thing unless Mitsuba wanted something like his wish.

I believe Tsukasa really does want to grant Mitsuba's wish and make him happy, I really do, because the fake world is for him for his happiness

it's all for Mitsuba, this is a solution him, a supernatural thought would be good, and Mitsuba did like it, with how it seemed Tsukasa stayed in there for a little bit he didn't do anything, you're right Anon, he let Mitsuba enjoy himself, he didn't bother him

which, I think is kind of sad thinking about because he also thought Amane was better off without him but, hay! I'm sure Tsukasa was happy with how it was turning out, since Mitsuba seemed satisfied, but oh well it seems he'll keep trying to grant his wish, although seems right now is Sakura wish time..

also Tsukasa was excited, I swear he was! he celebrated and used his party popper before anyone else could turn things on and surprise him

when has he done this with someone he doesn't care about or just sees as a creation of his? NO WHERE!! and I'm sure we all know where we've seen Tsukasa act with someone he could care less about and only sees as useful sometimes

yeah safe to say he has never let be treated/treated Mitsuba like that! I'd say he's quite protective more then anything! i also stand by Mitsuba being one of the only people Tsukasa has tried to comfort or help make feel better

he's also more gentle with Mitsuba despite punching him to help him gain some backbone and I think they created a connection considering how Mitsuba acts, it may not be apparent, but they have this sort of bond that comes naturally, I feel it in my bones with how their relationship has progressed

and lets talk about how willing Tsukasa is to get Mitsuba something? like friends? he was ready to make Mitsuba a friend, and was also ready to be his friend, but I'm sure we all know how Tsukasa has a harder time with that, with how Tsukasa in the red house said that Amane would be happier without him and how he hated him, how was he supposed to know Mitsuba would except him as a friend?

his speech bubble is FRILLY!! he must be very happy (not just because he wants to know if sparklers will still crackle in his stomach I swear bare with me)

but am I the only one who feels sort of like Tsukasa thought Mitsuba, a creation without memories would rather be able to see his self... because I'm quite sure Tsukasa knows of the powers of school mystery number three, especially since he talks about how powerful the power is

and helping Mitsuba become stronger...feels kind of like Tsukasa knows a creation without a goal or knowing is horrible, so he tried to let Mitsuba forge that himself with the powers...maybe I'm looking too much into it and Tsukasa really did just make him number three for a big plan but I feel like there could more to his relationship with Mitsuba, I think he cares

I know Tsukasa isn't the best at showing affection and doesn't really know what people like, but I think they have something going for them that isn't toxic

#oh and btw only fake Mitsuba real Mitsuba is out of question #they're both different and Tsukasa has a connection with fake not real #i know a lot of people cant exactly see them in a good light because of what he did to real Mitsuba but i dont really relate the two much #but i totally respect it when people say they cant ship them or see them as besties but #i cant stand when people talk about it in a light more about how Tsukasa cant really have healthy relationships or its because he's kinda #messed up #i just hate when people do that and i cannot respect Tsukasa hate #anyways this focused on Tsukasa but i wouldn't mind talking about Mitsuba and hos interactions #uhm yeah but thanks for the ask this was fun! i love them and dont think they should get so much hate #glad you got my back Anon lol #this post might be a little everywhere but i tried #tbhk #jshk #toilet bound hanako kun #jibaku shonen hanako kun #jshk manga #tbhk manga #yugi tsukasa #tsukasa yugi #sousuke mitsuba #mitsuba sousuke #tsumitsu #mitsutsu #tbhk analysis #kinda #jshk analysis #nsjdhjxhdirbdjbr

[riddlerosehearts]

🐍(signing with a snake for convenience) thank you for the good luck wishes, i finished the exam and it went alright! i saw your earlier post, how are you feeling right now? i myself have a cat too and can only imagine how devastated i would feel if the same thing happened to me, i'm really sorry you're going through this and hope you're still taking care of yourself. if it helps as a distraction, how would you imagine nico (& leo if you wish!) as new students at NRC?

signing with the 🐍 emoji reminds me of jamil, which imo is good because i love jamil haha. so hopefully you like him too. glad your exam went well! i'm feeling a little better now than i was earlier, but still not great, honestly. my family took that cat in as a stray who we have evidence to believe had been abandoned, and we'd given her a matching name with our other cat--our first cat is named daisy, and the one who died was named lily. we knew she'd have to be put down sooner or later but everybody felt so sure that it wouldn't be this soon. i sincerely hope your cat lives a long, healthy life.

as for your question: hmm, well, i'm terrible at explaining my thoughts sometimes. let's see if i can come up with something that makes sense LOL. i'm going to imagine an AU where rather than being isekai'd like yuu, nico is just a character from the twst universe.

so the way i see nico in the current riordanverse canon is that he's made a lot of progress toward healing from his trauma and trying to be happier and more outgoing, like he was when we were first introduced to him in titan's curse. he cares about others and wants to be able to have friends. but he still has a lot of anxiety about putting himself out there, and he still barely understands modern technology (which, i'm unsure how that'd be explained in this scenario, but it's a magic world, anything could've happened. maybe he's a fae or half-fae, or maybe he was stuck in some sort of magical stasis for decades like in PJO.) and has this lingering fear that he doesn't fit in with most people. i also see him as a natural extrovert who mostly became withdrawn as a trauma response.

so i guess if we took nico with his canon personality/development and made him a character in the twst universe, then he'd be incredibly nervous about going to NRC and not knowing how people there will react to him, but he'd also be willing to try his best. and if he got placed into ignihyde, then he'd soon end up feeling frustrated because, okay, sure, he can see why the dark mirror looked at his soul and thought he should be put into this gloomy, lifeless dorm full of quiet serious people who keep to themselves. not too long ago he might've thought that was perfect! but now because most ignihyde students keep to themselves or to their own groups while also hardly leaving their rooms, it makes for a very lonely atmosphere when nico no longer wants to be alone all the time. and when he does try to speak to his dormmates he doesn't really get most of what they try to talk about because they're engineers and tech nerds and he... very much isn't. he also doesn't understand how to operate most of the technology the dorm is filled with and runs on.

i can imagine him wanting to transfer dorms but being terrified of not fitting in any better anywhere else, until he ends up talking with yuu during alchemy class and finding out that they live in a dorm that's haunted by ghosts and otherwise only has a population of two. nico and yuu could relate to each other in a sense because even though yuu has ace and deuce as friends, they still feel lost and out of place in this world. and they think it's pretty cool that nico can control and summon ghosts. they sort of joke that it'd be a lot easier to keep the ghosts in line if they had his magic, and he's like. well what if i moved into your dorm and helped you out. which crowley decides to allow and nico is a lot happier there because even though ramshackle is way smaller than ignihyde, it's also less lonely. he can talk to the ghosts and to yuu and grim. and as he gets more used to being there and a little less afraid of opening up, he could make friends with some of his other classmates. maybe even with some of his old dormmates. if all the canon NRC students are also around in this, then i'm sure he and the shroud brothers could find something to talk about given nico's interest in mythomagic.

nico's development in the later books is also heavily influenced by will, so if we had will in this AU then that might change things a bit. i'm very indecisive just in general and also i don't get will nearly as well as a friend of mine does, so it's possible that he could get accepted into RSA which would separate him from nico, or that he could get into NRC but definitely in a different dorm because he doesn't fit ignihyde at all (will have to ask my friend her opinion on this, actually). in the latter case i think nico would especially look forward to the classes they share, but would vent to will about still not fitting in and would wish that he could transfer dorms to be with him. but crowley would discourage him from trying to transfer because of how difficult the process is and will would encourage him to put himself out there more and try harder to make friends, which could lead to his conversation with yuu and his transfer to ramshackle (it being a different case since it's not, like, an official dorm anymore and nico's magic is well-suited to crowley's own needs). leo or other characters being there at the same time might change things slightly too.

but yeah, either way, i think he'd love chilling with the ghosts in ramshackle and with his canon development where he's starting to become more open and less brooding, he could end up really enjoying being at NRC even if he still struggles sometimes! if we were talking about a version of nico who was still 100% convinced that he could never fit in with anyone and that he needed to be alone all the time, i guess he'd probably just stay in ignihyde and cause yuu a lot of confusion by summoning ghosts from ramshackle into his room to give himself someone to talk to. if he was from the PJO universe and got isekai'd into the twst world then i don't think nico would adjust well to that at all. i have a feeling that as he is right now in canon, he'd consider going to school in some other world a complete waste of time in the first place and would tear twisted wonderland apart trying to find a way home if that happened.

i am going to stop here though because i rambled about this way more than i did before though LOL. i hope this is the kind of answer you were looking for and that it doesn't all seem like. completely OOC and that what i'm trying to say makes sense. i love sharing my opinions but i'm also not very confident in them sometimes. i could try to come up with something for leo if you wanted, but i'd also love to know if you have any thoughts on how he'd be as an NRC student!

#asks #anonymous #posting this very late at night again #if you have a different take on any of this don't be afraid to say so btw lol #genuinely the most thought i'd ever given to a twst x pjo crossover before you asked about it was #'haha what if nico taught idia how to play mythomagic. what if percy became BFFs with deuce.' #so this is basically just my first thoughts on this whole concept and the ways it could go! #twisted wonderland #pjo #riordanverse

[Five Glances] from Spencer

𝐀 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅 ‘𝐅𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒’ 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐁𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒 - for @ofsketchs

[ One ] - Spencer didn't talk a lot about what he went through with Tobias. He knew that he couldn't pretend it didn't happen, but after a few years, people stopped keeping as close of an eye on him, which made the brunette far happier. What they didn't see, usually, were the shakes he'd get sometimes. The cravings if he saw someone else high, or when he was too stressed. His eyes followed a man as he walked across the street, notebook in his hand, and for a moment? Spencer felt jealous. Jealous that he wasn't having his urges, jealous that he was able to walk around like nothing was going on.

[ Two ] - It took a few days for the urges to pass out of Spencer's system, and he spent the time tucked away in a B&B in the town. It was beautiful, a place he knew his mother would love, and he made a mental note to take her here sometime - it was the least he could do. The first day that he truly felt like himself, he spent it down in the square, sitting and people watching with a coffee in his hand. It was the first time he felt normal and he loved the normalcy. It helped. A laugh caught his attention, forcing Spence to look up from the crossword on the table in front of him. The brunette he saw before was there, laughing with two people that he guessed were friends. Family, maybe, the way he was with the female. But they looked..... happy. He just hoped they didn't get a case there to make it go away.

[ Three ] - It had been several months since Spencer had been in Stars Hollow, but when they got told that the unit was going to shut down for several months while things got figured out, he knew where he was going. He needed away from the city, away from the loud noises and the people. He needed some solitude. It sounded dumb, considering he was sitting in the middle of a diner in the town, but compared to DC? Or back in Vegas? God, it was quiet. He looked up as the bell rang above the door. Tobias - he had picked up his name, thank you detective skills - walked in with an older woman, similar in features. He couldn't help but feel a little more at ease. True, it was a stranger, but there was an odd.... familiarity to it.

[ Four ] - Normally, Spencer was good at being alone. He had spent most of his life, both as a child and an adult, doing such. He had friends now, true, and he had been on dates, but most people still found him weird. He was, he wasn't going to argue that, but there were times.... times that he wished he wasn't. He was only 24, still figuring himself out. He had actually spoken to Tobias a few times, but more than a glance usually, he was too scared to walk over to him. He groaned quietly as he pushed himself up off the bench, just barely missing bumping into the man on his mind as he did so.

[ Five ] - "Did you know according to statistics, doing crosswords decreases brain shrinkage in people with mild cognitive impairment far better than just doing memory games?" Spencer got the words out quick, fast - like if he didn't say them now, he never would, and that could very well be the truth. When Tobias looked up, the brunette had to swallow down his fear, tightening his grip on the bag strap across his chest, just to stop himself from running.
