★ SOUL SEARCHING

wc: idk lol ; 6:48 pm

because he’s observant, he notices patterns really well. this means he knows around what time you get your period, so he knows what to bring you and he always checks up on you. same thing if you get like—seasonal depression. he knows because there are certain things you do that just kinda let him know.

for example…

"what's wrong?" tsukishima asked, coming up behind you and putting a light hand on your waist.

"huh?" you hummed, reaching over to grab the lighter. "nothing, i'm fine. why do you ask?" you hated lying to him but you felt so pathetic. you were so incredibly sad and had no idea why. you just were.

he sighed, “please don’t lie to me.”

at his words, your lips began to tremble as you tried to hold it all in. biting your lip—trying to discipline yourself with pain—you simply shook your head and lit the candle. “i’m not, kei.”

you thought using his name would make your lie sound more convincing.

instead of replying immediately, tsukishima moved closer and wrapped his arms around your waist to pull you into him. his voice came out muffled as he buried his face in your neck. "you're lighting a candle. you always light candles when you're sad, so tell me what's wrong."

as if on cue, tears immediately filled your eyes. your eyelids accidentally fluttered and the salty drops began falling and running down your face, staining your cheeks.

but of course, he was right. you did light a candle whenever you felt sad. you hadn’t even noticed.

you didn’t need to say anything for tsukishima to take you by your shoulders and turn you to face him. gently, he placed his hand on the back of your head and tugged you closer to him, wrapping his long arms around you and pulling you into a bear hug.

the calming smell of your boyfriend’s laundry detergent; the aroma of your fall-scented candle; and the feeling of knowing you were safe in tsukishima’s warm, comforting hug hit you all at once, causing you to start trembling with sobs.

tsukishima didn’t speak or move—save for the soft caress of his hand up and down your back—he just stood there and listened while you blubbered and stuttered over how you didn’t know why you felt the way you did this time of year.

“what’s wrong with me?” you asked yourself, sniffling.

still holding you in his cozy embrace, tsukishima shook his head. “there’s nothing wrong with you, love. you’re not going crazy, i promise,” he said softly, loud enough for only you to hear. you felt him press a soft kiss to your temple. “your feelings are valid.”

To those who hasn’t gotten to role play with me yet and want to. Like this post. I’ll make starters.

Whenever servants get a swimsuit alt, they always talk so unnaturally about it like “now that I have a swimsuit, I can do anything!” Like I what does that even mean? I know this is nothing coming from Fgo but it makes me roll my eyes every other time it happens.

i don’t write it much anyway, so it’s not much skin off my back, but don’t think i don’t notice when people tell me they feel unsure/uncomfortable/[insert your word choice here] writing intimate scenes with a muse who is intersex

but suspiciously they do not have that same reservation when they want their muses to fuck straight up monsters 🤔

when Mike and Will are in first grade, they attempt to run away. This is spurred by two things: Lonnie Byers’ general presence, and the boys’ current favorite book series, the Boxcar Children. The thought of living in a train car seems super cool to them, and since they live so near to train tracks, they figure that there must be an abandoned train car or two somewhere nearby. They begin trying to gather supplies—as discreetly as two six year olds are able to, which isn’t very discrete. Jonathan, age 11, finds out almost immediately. When he tries to convince them why it’s a bad idea, they—with their little kid logic—actually convince him to go along with it, at least for a little bit. With the condition that he goes with (after all, there’s an older sibling taking care of the kids in BCC, right?). He helps them pack a little better, maybe talks to Joyce about the kids going on a camping trip (to get away from Lonnie for the weekend), maybe implying (lying) that there will be Actual Adults there with them. And there’s no need to make excuses to Mike’s parents—Karen is pregnant with Holly and the whole house is focused on getting ready for the new baby. Karen will likely just think he’s at the Byers’ house. So over a weekend (starting on a Friday after school), Mike, Will, and Jonathan go exploring— looking for a boxcar or any abandoned train car—mostly looking along the train tracks. They eventually find the Junkyard—which the kiddos get excited about anyway (even Jon bc Boxcar Children was his book first shut up), so they proceed to search for hidden gems. They find a bunch of little treasures (a cracked but useable magnifying glass, an old working radio, and even a set of slightly cracked dishes in the trunk of one of the cars), but their biggest discovery is an old Bus. Jonathan tells them that, at least for tonight, it’s almost as good as a boxcar. Mike and Will immediately agree and the trio set out to make the space livable (to kid standards, at least). Set up their blankets and sleeping bags, etc. Jonathan reads to them (from the Boxcar children ofc). And the weekend goes along in a similar vein. The younger boys get homesick by Sunday morning, ofc, so they agree that the Bus can be Their secret place that they go to sometimes. Like the boxcar in the Children’s backyard. (And then Jonathan forgets about it after a while bc I completely forgot about the whole bit in S1E7 where they’re trying to find the kids—won’t remember til they go to pick up the Party and then Jon will want to hit himself for forgetting. The rest of the Party (once they become friends) don’t know about it. It stays a Mike and Will thing—until the Bus is p much destroyed in S2 RIP Bus). Joyce never finds out. (At least not for a v long time—maybe it’s one of the memories Mike uses when Will is possessed by the MF) Not about This run away attempt anyway.

Will tries to run away the second time when they’re in fourth grade. Again, mostly bc Lonnie Byers and his A+ parenting. And plus Will thinks one less child might make things easier on his mom. By this time, Lucas and Dustin are their friends too (and thus voices of reason, bc Mike is an enabler who probably immediately offered up his basement). So they’re talking about it—going over the pros and cons (Mike is still advocating for his basement), but Karen happens to overhear and it’s immediately Game Over: Joyce is told. She is, ofc, devastated. And they have a long talk about how much she would miss him if he were gone (ouch I hurt myself😃). So that’s the last time he actually tries to run away (Joyce gives brief thought that that might be what’s happened at the beginning of S1, but with the confirmation that Mike is Not in the Know, she thinks it’s v unlikely).

(And then during/after the divorce, if Will wants to run away, he either runs to Mike’s house to spend the night, or he runs to Castle Byers… He runs to it in the Upside Down. He runs to it after his possession has been lifted—as his friends (Mike) begin to pull away. And, after a Fight with Mike, he runs to it one last time…then there’s no longer any place in Hawkins Will can run away to.)

When they move to Lenora, Will thinks about running away back to Hawkins. He doesn’t go through with it though, because Mike hasn’t really been responding to his letters, and thus there’s no one to conspire with. Plus, with El, he doesn’t want to leave her alone. She’s quickly become a sister to him, and he knows (even tho school sucks for her), she likely wouldn’t want to run away from Joyce and Jonathan—considering she already lost Hop.

Once Will and Mike get together post-whatever happens in s5, Will tells him about almost running away to Hawkins (to Mike), and, it turns out, Mike had almost the exact same thought (esp when he couldn’t come for Christmas). Like he told Will during SB, Hawkins isn’t the same without Will there. They talk about ‘running away’ from Hawkins after they graduate high school—basically going to college out of state. “It’s not really running away if I’m with you, though. You’re home.” Michael Wheeler is full of cheese.

Short little thing I typed up

“What is this?”

Yan turned over the small, see-through bag in his hands, brow furrowed as he looked at the contents.

“It’s a gift,” Houji said. “For Valentine’s Day.”

Yan looked up at him. “Isn’t that a western thing?”

“We have in Japan too.”

“Hm.” He opened the bag and pulled out a piece of chocolate. He glanced back over at Houji, eyes narrowed. “I can’t eat this.”

“It’s traditional.” Houji smiled. Yan muttered something under his breath, then sighed and put the chocolate back.

“Thank you,” he said begrudgingly.

“You have to pay me back next month.”

“Or I could kill you right here and now,” he said. Houji chuckled.

“Oh, could you?”

In response, he brought a hand up to Houji’s head and ruffled his hair. Houji narrowed his eyes.

“You are terrible,” he said, running his fingers through his hair, trying to brush the loose strands back into place.

“I’d have to be” — Yan smiled — “to put up with you.”

Houji paused for a moment. Finally, he pressed a kiss to Yan’s cheek.

“Happy Valentine’s Day,” he said. Yan turned away and closed his eyes.

“Happy Valentine’s Day.”

so this airport has been almost exclusively playing chrimmins music and now suddenly i hear hozier take me to church ???? not complaining but what the hell lmao

hrm okay like this post and i will come attempt to plot things with u lol i’m not very good at plotting but i do wanna put those beasts (our muses) in situations together <3

fuck me i will be 33 tomorrow.

pls be proud of me bc i finally purged my inbox properly so that anything older than december is gone as well as anything i know i don’t have muse for at this point :’ ) ofc any unprompted or plot asks were left untouched, and i’ve held onto hc asks and kind messages that got buried. but the number is much smaller and i feel a whole lot better!!

Y’all the drastic change your muse can take …whew. When I first made Elizabeth she was built for the romance of a fellow rpers muse — who she was then? To who she is now? Oof

i’ve been obsessively rewatching the two second of pyro in the dp3 teaser and i really wonder if this pyro is supposed to be a pruned variant that’s managed to survive in the void
