I think my favourite thing currently about the LU fandom is our ability to completely, purposefully ignore the actually important parts of updates. Twilight is dying? Lol but he has his titty out. Wild is lamenting deeply to himself about his fears? Shut up boy, look at that frog! Time is thinking about his future child? But has anyone tucked Hyrule into bed yet?
"It's annoying when you guys focus on the meme stuff." Actually it's funny af. Keep up the good work everyone.

"it's so embarrassing you like that popular thing" "oh ew that geeky/strange thing is so cringe lol" "oh it's kind of weird you get excited about that harmless shit"
dude i love how ironic and jaded you are and that's so cool and sexy of you. and i am so so glad to tell you - you won!! we all had a meeting and we decided that you won, and we are writing your name on the inside of a burger king crown. the marker smeared, sorry, but we knew any form of real effort is ugly to you. but anyway. congrats! you are officially the coolest, most ironic, most jaded person in-the-world-right-now. we would throw you a party but you would think it was totally boring - and besides, we're weird so we wouldn't have been coming. we would have brought our love of beetles and of baking and of little canapes. we would have brought our artsy videogames and pages of writing. we would have written a poem with you, our hands covered in ink, and spread out a canvas to dance on, the night so lurid and pink.
but do not worry. we will not throw the party. we will just get you a ringlight and that crown i mentioned. it is a nice crown, except for where one of us dropped it.
the vote was a really hard one because we had so many cool ironic people to pick off the shelves. all of you have hands that rot fruit, how strange is that - you can't look at something without destroying it for other people. you like it when you can squeeze a person into a pinpoint - all us small ones scampering our little feet around our ugly joys. the vote was also a hard one because we kept our voices down because you don't like it when we talk too loud. you were on your phone at the time, talking to people other than us. you are a ghoul of every moment - half in, half out, you resent us for being here without shame or embarrassment.
so good news! we have invented an island for people like you. you get to go there and speak into the air things like if you still like watching harmless twitch streamers in 2023 you're fucking boring. you will say things like liveplay podcasts are fucking ugly and it's kind of awkward they try to make everything gay. on the island we made you, all of your words will have weight. they will form in the air like icicles, large white behemoth letters that will crumple in anvils around your feet. maybe we will send someone there once in a while to sweep, but honestly you might be there for a while, alone, waiting. we are busy being outside looking for mushrooms and flapping our hands and humming. we are busy kicking our little heels while we watch cringey tv. we are busy - sorry! as an apology, we have pre-filled the island with every bland, mediocre, unscented thing we could find. the island has the texture of american cheese. the island has an ocean that never gets angry. the island is perfect for you, trust me. you will be so happy there - as happy as you can be, ironically.
we want to say we are sorry for doing harmless things that you find annoying, childish, or unappealing - but we are not sorry. we thought we could help you, because we don't mind laughing at ourselves, but it turns out you are allergic to color and noise and atmosphere, so this is the best that we can do for now. we are all making a big shirt that says i voted in the ironic monarchy. we got you one that is just a fast fashion buttondown. i am so excited for you and this island and the big life you have won. you have a cool jaded grey life and miles of irony to roam. i love you! be well.
now leave us alone.

dad! wriothesley x mom! reader. mr rizzley as a father to his adorable lil twin boys. one day while reader was at work he decides to giev them a tour in the fortress of meropide and then reader finds out and scolds wriothesley:)) basically just a fic full of domestic and fluff🫶
AWWWGASHJD 🥺 That's literally so adorable ?!?! Damn, now I've got the visiomn of Wrio cradling one of his twin boys in each of his arms while they cling to his shoulders stuck in my brain aaAAAAAAAA
「 CWS : 」 Reader is called 'Mommy', etc. but no pronouns or mentions of readers biology are explicitly mentioned !! Also i didn't have the chance to mention the kids' looks, but in my mind im imagining your kids to look like mini Wriothesleys lmao
Tumblr media
Wriothesley knows he's in for one of your long-winded lectures when you find out. He knows you're gonna chew his ear off, and that he'll sit through it and give you his whole attention like a good husband, but in the same way that he can't resist it when you ask him of something, he can't resist when his kids beg him for something either.
"Daddy, daddy!" Thomas yells right into his ear, making him wince. "What's that over there?" Thomas points one of his short arms at the entrance to the pankration ring's elevator, eyes glittering with curiosity. Sitting on his opposite arm, cradled to his chest just like his brother, Edward shares the same look.
"That? Oh—" He stutters for a second, wincing internally. He can just tell how much you're gonna tack on to your lecture later if you find out he brought your kids into the pankration ring. "That's... daddy's old workout place. Nothing cool to see there, bud. Haha. Hey, do you guys wanna see what Miss Sigewinne is up to—"
"Let's go there daddy!" Edward exclaims, trying to jump up where he sits, making Wriothesley quickly have to brace himself to not fall. "We wanna see where you practice beating up bad guys!"
"It's... Let's— Uh."
"Let's go daddy!" Thomas says, gripping his collar and tugging it as if to try to lead him there like a horse.
In unison, they chant: "Let's go let's go let's go!"
And Wriothesley can do nothing but sigh and let his kids tug him where they want him to go.
By the time he's getting back into the elevator to head back to the administrative area, he can say he's a little winded. Just a little, mind you. His kids, however, are bursting with life after they'd damn near forced him to show them every single nook and cranny of the fortress.
Oh he's in for such an earful later.
As Thomas and Edward continue to chatter to him about how cool the fortress is, how nice the people are and how awesome they think their daddy is (that last part makes him smile; makes him puff his chest out just a little bit more) Wriothesley nods along with each thing they say. Adds in a little bit where he needs to, corrects a couple details, but generally lets them prattle on about what they've seen.
"I wish mommy could've come with," Thomas says with a pout, and Edward nods. "I bet mommy has a lot of stories about this place, too."
"Haha—" Wriothesley laughs, but it's a little strained. "Y— ahem, yeah, mommy's been busy with work today, so how about we don't mention the tour today, hm? I'm pretty sure that mommy's gonna be super tired at home so we shouldn't—"
The elevator doors open then, and there you stand, eyes narrowed and arms crossed over your chest. Staring into his very soul.
"—make a lot of noise. Hi, sweetheart."
Your boys, however, all but jump for joy at your appearance, hopping out of their father's arms to run and cling to your legs. "Mommy! You're here!" They both cheer, grinning brightly. And for a moment, your cold rage at your husband is tempered as you crouch to their level, offering them a small smile.
"Hey, beetles," you coo, as they grab one hand each and clutch it tightly. "You two have fun running 'round the fortress with daddy the whole day? I bet you two saw lots of sights."
"We did!" they say excitedly, and in a blur of words and exclamations, they both try to tell you all about the things they've seen with their dad. You let them talk for a bit, smiling and nodding, before you gently interject.
"Sounds like you two had quite the day with daddy. Let's go back to his office— I have some snacks that Miss Sigewinne laid out for us."
They cheer once more like the little boys that they are, releasing your hands as they run back in the direction of Wriothesley's office, barely slowing their steps when you yell, 'Be careful!' behind them. Then you turn to the man himself the glare back on your face as he grins a little sheepishly at you.
"Before you start!" He says, holding a hand out placatingly, "I didn't plan to give them the whole tour. I was just gonna bring them to the cafeteria, then they got curious and... well... you know how they can get. "
You just sigh, the tension in your shoulders easing just a little. Because you do know how they get, and you know that Wriothesley can never say no if they ask nicely enough. It's one of his greatest weaknesses.
"Just— Please tell me you didn't bring them to any of the more dangerous places, please?"
And he has the audacity to snort. "Okay. I won't tell you then, sweetheart."
"Wrio!"

Hi!
can you do a fic w/ Oscar where the reader is a PhD student so they can’t really go to any of the races so fans online are DRAGGING her by saying she’s a bad gf, Oscar should cheat on her, and she doesn’t deserve him etc. Maybe she has like an identity crisis at a race and is questioning everything so Oscar is there to comfort and reassure her?
I’m sorry this is very long!
also I love your writing :)
The Psychology of Fans
Oscar Piastri x Reader
Genre: hurt/comfort, fluff, angst if you squint
Request: omg I love this idea, specifically because I am a student. Also send me ideas plz 🙏. I don't think y'all understand the excitement it brings me to make something that you enjoy :)
Summary: it's a busy time in readers life working on her PhD in psychology. She wants to support Oscar as much as possible but is struggling to find the time. The fans take notice of her lack of presence and start tearing her down because of it.
Warnings: Toxic fans, panic attacks
Notes: written in third person. This one was challenging, but fun to write!
Masterlist
Tumblr media
Everything had been going amazing for the couple. She was starting her PhD in psychology, and Oscar had signed with McLaren for a seat. They were ecstatic for eachother.
They had their own dynamic that worked for them. Spending time together when they could but being patient with the other if things didn't go to plan.
When they started dating, she had requested that her socials and information remain private. She didn't care if people knew they were dating. She just didn't want to deal with the fans and media while she was deep in her studies.
Things between them were great. Oscar tried to keep things as private as he could. It was simple during his formula 2 career when they started dating. There weren’t as many people watching his every step.
His fan base grew exponentially as soon as he signed with McLaren. All the sudden people were everywhere asking for pictures and autographs. All the while, people were asking about his dating life. They were asking questions about her.
When the Australian Grand Prix came around, she made sure she was there to see it. She wanted to support Oscar and his first formula 1 race. It was an exciting moment for him and you wanted to share it together.
The cameras and fans were relentless and ridiculous, in her opinion. Their was never a moment of peace since they wanted to know everything about Oscar and his guest.
After everything was said and done, the fans took nicely to her and Oscar. It was relieving for both of you. It gave the press team less to worry about. Not that either would have cared, but it was nice knowing he wouldn’t had to hear about it in meetings.
School had started picking up the pace. McLaren was struggling this season. It left both of them stressed and longing for each other. She wanted to support him more then what she was but her schedule didn’t allow for it.
Sometimes she would travel with Oscar but didn’t go to the track. It was a small gesture that he appreciated. He didn’t care where she was as long as she was cheering for him.
The fans had taken notice of her lack of attendance. Coming up with their own assumptions about why she wasn’t there. Calling her names that were untrue and hurtful
“Oscar deserves better.”
“Bet she just wants a top driver.”
“Maybe she has other guys when he’s gone.”
It was driving her insane. She knew it shouldn’t get under her skin, but it did. Oscar did deserve someone who could support him full time. Who cheered him on at every race. It was causing her more stress then she could manage.
She decided not to tell Oscar. The idea of burdening him anymore made her feel sick.
~
It was now the British Grand Prix and she had decided to go and support Oscar despite the work that was piling up on her plate. He had gotten new upgrades on his car and she was saying prayers that they worked.
She practically fell over when he finished fourth. Screaming in joy for the Australian who had been working so hard.
It was on their way out that everything seemed to fall apart.
Fans wanted pictures and the cameras were still in his face. He tried to shied the girl beside him from it, pulling into his side while he walked. It was then he heard what they were saying. Heat rising to his face.
“If you’re not going to say something nice then let us through please.” Oscar pushed past everyone and forced his way to their car.
He held her close that night and reassured her that they were spewing lies. This if they were acting like that then they weren’t real fans.
~
Oscar was shocked when she came to the Hungarian Grand Prix. He knew she was stressed about school. He saw the dark circles under her eyes. But she is absolutely determined.
Peoples criticism was getting worse by the day. Oscar had started to catch on since his PR team was now bringing it up but he didn’t want to push her.
It was the end of qualifying. Another success from Oscar. A success she didn’t get to see despite all her best efforts.
The thought of what everyone was saying ran wild in her head. An interaction with a few fans left her devastated. They were saying she was only here now because Oscar is doing well. How she should support him through it all. How he could do better then her. How he deserved more.
She was sobbing now. Her mind screaming insecurities. Her breath uneven and her hands clutching her head as she tried to block out the voices.
Oscar had been looking for her after the press conference. He wanted nothing more then to hold her in his arms and celebrate his achievement. He’d been looking for ten minutes with no sign of her.
He tried calling and texting, but had yet to receive an answer. Worry started to settle in his chest. His efforts now expedited only to run right into Lando.
“Have you seen y/n anywhere?” Oscar asks the Brit.
Lando, however, was out of breath. He had run around trying to find Oscar for a few minutes. “I heard her in your driver room. She sounds awful mate.”
Oscar didn’t waste a second moving in that direction. He felt a bit stupid for not having checked there first.
It didn’t take him long until he was swinging open the door to reveal her curled up on the floor. Her hands over her ears and body shaking.
He crouches down next to her. Slowly so he doesn’t scare her.
Sue didn't notice his presence. She couldn't even see her surroundings. Everything was going dark and she knew she needed to breathe or she would lose consciousness.
She heard faint yelling. "Lando!"
It was Oscar's voice. The sound almost drew her back to reality. But the dark confines of her mind had too much of a grip.
Oscar was ready to go into his own panicked state, but he needed to remain calm. He hears Lando slide into the doorway. His face dropping immediately now that he can actually see her.
Oscar takes her into his arms. Her curled up body was now placed between his legs. Her back against his chest.
She was completely absent. She wanted to protest and understand what was happening, but the fear of letting the voices in made her refrain from doing so.
It was difficult for Oscar to stay calm. He'd never seen her like this. He ran his fingers gently up and down her back. He uses his leg to push hers closer to the ground. Her body is trying to fight his, but the lack of air in her lungs makes it difficult.
Oscar wraps his arms around her now, pulling her further into him. Still trying every tech he knows to soothe her.
Lando came back with water and made his best attempt at coaching him through this.
She still was struggling to breathe, which concerned them both. Her hands gripped her head so hard he could see little spots of crimson in crescent shapes.
"Talk to her, mate. It might help her get out of her head."
Oscar nodded his head at Lando's suggestion. The Brit then ran off again to investigate what happened.
Instead of holding her around her middle, Oscar switched his tactics. Moving his hands to slip underneath hers. The little specks of blood now decorate his fingers.
Her mind was trying to grasp onto anything to bring her back. The thoughts are doing their best to pull her back under. She knows Oscar is there. She tries to ground herself with his touch.
He's repeating his words - a prayer falling from his lips willing her back to him. "I've got you. I'm here. Breathe. You're safe."
She tries to slow her erratic heart. Her body has been dry heaving and coughing from the sheer amount of static.
She finds the feeling in her arms and legs come back, using it to push herself further into Oscar. Then, finally, she can feel the thick cloud that has taken hold of her mind to start to filter through. The end of the tunnel in sight.
Her body practically goes limp. Oscar holds her up and leans her head on his chest. Trying to soothe the female in his lap.
Everything in her body hurts, but her lungs are finally getting some reprieve. She takes in the situation around her. Oscar's comforting touch keeps her present.
Her body stops trembling. Only little hiccups now escape as the tears slow. It hurts Oscar to see her like this. She looks broken and he dosen't know how he didn't catch it sooner.
"I'm sorry" falls from her lips. He just shushs her and continues to stroke her arm. "You deserve better than me."
Oscar is taken aback by her admission. He was too stunned to stop her before she continued on. "Other girls can be there to support you. They aren't as busy with school. They are prettier and can travel with you, and you wouldn't have to worry about them cheating -"
Oscar shifts them around until he can see her face. Her puffy teary eyes shattering him. He holds her face in his hands. “Other girls aren’t you.”
She can’t stop the tears from welling in her eyes again. A flurry of emotions tries to take hold once again.
“Who gave you that idea?”
She shakes her head. Willing him to ask anything else. Panic again rising into her throat as caught wrack her body. She tried to pull away from him. Her body starting to close in on itself again at the memories.
Oscar doesn’t let it happen. Holding her in place firmly yes every one of his touches are gentle and loving. He silently wills Lando to come back faster. His teammate has dealt with anxiety and would know better then him what to do.
“It’s okay, Love. We don’t have to talk about it.” He soothes and reassures her until her body goes lax agains his once again. Put exhaustion takes over and she can’t will herself to stay coherent and conscious any longer.
Oscar is relieved when she falls asleep on him. Her breathing becomes even and her body now relaxes.
Lando reappeared in the doorway ten minutes later; Out of breath and drenched in sweat. “Mate, you’re not gonna like this.”
~
The two boys moved the girl to the small couch and draped her against it gently.
Oscar was trying to hold in his rage. He wanted to storm out of the motor home and unleash his anger on everyone who ever said a word against his girl. The girl he loves. The one he chose and trusts and is ridiculously proud of. Her accomplishments deserve to be praised, not torn down by those who call themselves fans.
Lando had warned him against it. It would be a PR mess and might actually cause her more anxiety. So he bit his tongue and put on the Oscar everyone was used to seeing.
He practically sped through all his media duties. Wanting nothing more then to see that he got her back to the hotel room. Back to a safe environment where she could open up to him.
Oscar was done quickly and back in his room and changed within an hour. The woman asleep on the couch still breathing evenly.
He knew he didn’t need to, but he waited for Lando. The Brit had offered to help him get her back safely and fend off any media who tried to talk to them.
He welcomed the fact that they were distracted. Not caring much as passerby’s gave him weird looks.
~
She woke up in a foreign place. She distinctly remembers being at the track. Regardless, she couldn’t help but sink into the comfort.
Oscar her her shifting around. Gently seating himself next to her on the bed. “How are you feeling?”
“Fine.” She rasped. Her throat both sore and dry from her earlier wailing.
“Please don’t panic-“ he places a hand over hers. “- Lando told me what happened. We’ve both made statements about it and the PR team is doing the rest. Everyone agrees it isn’t right.”
A weight felt like it was being lifted of her chest. “Thank you.”
“Don’t thank me. It’s my job to make sure things like this don’t happen. I love you so much and I hated seeing you like this. I don’t car in anyone else sees it. I see it and I see you. And you want to know what I see?”
She shoot him a quizzical look, curious as to where he’s going with this.
He smiles. The smiles that makes her feel warm. The smile that make heat rise to her face.
“The greatest thing I could have ever asked for.l

Entering your world
Returning home one day and finding a character from a game in your supposedly save heaven was definitely not something that was on your “definitely want to experience” list
But here he was, Vil Schoenheit himself… and he was crying the moment he saw your face?
Total confusion. Yeah, I understand.
After him apologizing, his reasoning for crying was being too happy to be in your presence, he explained how he went to sleep and woke up here
Did this remind you of the typical isekai trope? Yes but who were you to complain?
After all, you had a magical model sitting there on your shaggy couch
For the next few days, you expected some other character to pop up or Vil to suddenly undergo a magical girl transformation like they were used so many times in anime but thank goodness that didn’t happen because you weren’t sure if your heart could take any more surprises
Living with Vil was surprisingly relaxing though
It is no secret that Schoenheit is loaded from all his modeling and acting so you expected him to be more or less useless when it was about making himself useful
But would you look at that? He was actually pretty good
So good in fact that you had already dubbed him your househusband and even saved him under that name on your phone after he got his own
Of course, you never said that to him in his face
And for that, I thank you
You see, Vil wouldn’t do this for everyone he met. Oh no. He would probably just throw money at them to pay some sort of rent and then go on with his day
But you were the Overseer! The hecking OVERSEER!!!
When he first saw you, tired eyes and hair that could only be described as being a bird nest looking at him from a long day of work, he could not hold himself back
Tears of joy streamed down his cheek, him thinking that he died and ascended to heaven
Only after you asked him how he got here and offered a place to stay did he finally understand that this wasn’t just some sort of delirium or dream, no he was with you
He nearly started to cry again and his thought process, his head being filled with screams of happiness, must have been a copy of his own fans whenever they saw him
So he took his job as your househusba- *ahem* “roommate” seriously
What he might not even admit to himself was that he didn’t do this just because he thought so highly of you. No. It just meant easy access to your more private areas of your life
Your room was just so nice! Your bed felt like he was laying on clouds and it also smelled like you! Oh, did you save him under “house husband” on your phone? In that moment he squealed
He might even keep some things from you. Nothing too bad. Just a shirt or hoody… maybe he took more than just one
But the Overseer forbid- wait that saying doesn’t work here
But goodness forbid you bring someone into the small bubble of him and you
They don’t even need to do something bad. Vil will just see something that isn’t even there
That one friend of yours? Oh, they threw some disgusting looks in your direction. (They didn’t, he just imagined it)
I would like to remind you that TWST is apparently a place where it’s totally cool to teach teenagers how to make poisons
Yeah, he might not have a lab or certain equipment here but he can work with what he got. Especially since househusbands are always surrounded by chemicals
Suddenly that person is gone. Apparently, they have eaten something wrong but the doctors are just confused about how and why and so much more
The longer he stays the more possessive of your attention he gets
Mention someone and suddenly they also fall sick
And all he did was hand them a homemade meal. People are so picky about what they eat these days…

We Need To Talk.
At the Schnee Mansion, a party is taking place. One of the guests in said party was none other than Coco Adel.
Coco: Man… It's a good party, but I need a break from all this.
Trying to have some alone time. Coco left the party room and walked through the halls of the mansion. After taking a great distance between her and the party, she decided to enter one of her rooms. And what room did she go into? Well, to the private study of Weiss's late father, Jacques Shcnee.
Coco: Perfect~
She said, leaving the lights of the room off and walking towards the chair at the end of the room. She took it and looked around. I turn the chair, putting the back miranod towards the door. In front of her she looked at a painting that seemed like something new. It was the photo of Weiss with her mom, sister and brother. All smiling with joy.
Coco: *Smiling* They look so happy.
At that moment she hears someone open the door and tries to make herself small and hide with the chair.
Coco: (Shit! Am I allowed to be here? I have to stay quiet so they don't find me.)
Suddenly she hears voices, two people to be exact, Weiss and Winter.
Weiss: What do you want to talk about, Winter?
Coco: (Oh, it's Weiss and Winter. Maybe I can just...) *about to stand up*
Winter: Well, it's complicated.
Coco: *Sits down* (...stay here.)
Winter: *Nervous* You see… Um… your friend Jaune…
Coco: (Jaune? What did he do this time?)
Weiss: Yes? What about him?
Winter: Well, it's hard for me to say this, you see, he and I…
Coco: *Excited* ("He and I"?! ✨OMG!✨ What did those two do?)
Winter: Well...
Weiss: Yes?
Winter: Well...
Coco: (Come on...)
Winter: You see... *Stops* Damn, this is hard.
Coco: (God damn it! Just say it, woman!)
Weiss: Just take your time. I'm here for you.
Winter: *Smilies* Thanks you, Weiss. *She takes a deep breath* I… *Looks into her eyes* I am pregnant with Jaune's child.
Tumblr media
Coco: (She is what?!!!! Jaune fucked the cold sister and got her pregnant! Holy crap! Damn vomit boy, my respects)
Weiss: Oh... I see.
Winter: What? Is there something wrong?
Coco: (Oh~, Weiss is against it? No way! oh man this is great!)
Weiss: Well, you see, I also have something to tell you.
Coco: (What? What does she have to tell… No way! There's no way that happened!)
Winter: *Worry* What is it?
Weiss: Well, I... I am also pregnant with Jaune's child.
Tumblr media
Winter: *Shock* What?!
Coco: (I call it!! Holy shit! The two sisters?! Oh my god! How did he do it?! The two most bitchy girls I know, got pregnant by Jaune?! What a fucking legend!)
Winter: When did this happen?!
Weiss: Well, we're on a mission together and then… it just happened.
Winter: *Angry* What do you mean that "it just happened"?!
Coco: (Oh she is mad~✨)
Weiss: It just did!!
Winter: It just did?!
Weiss: *Angry* Yes and we did after coming back too!!
Coco: *Having fun* (Ooooh!~)
Winter: You bitch!
Winter was about to "kill" Weiss with her bare hands, but stopped when she saw her mother walk in.
Willow: What's going on here?!
Coco: (Man, right in the best part)
Winter: Mother, is not what it looks like!
Weiss: Winter is trying to take my man!
Winter: What?! Of course not! Weiss tries to take my man from me! I got pregnant first!
Weiss: No, it was me!
Willow: ENOUGH!
Winter/Weiss:....
Willow: Who is this boy you guys talk so much about?
Winter/Weiss: Jaune
Willow: Jaune?
Winter/Weiss: *nod*
Willow: *Worry* Oh dear....
Winter: Hold on…
Weiss: What do you mean by "Oh dear…"?
Willow: Well... I was hoping to tell you two after the party, but... I don't think I'll be able to. Girls… *She takes something out of her pocket* I am also pregnant with Jaune's child.
Tumblr media
Weiss/Winter/Coco: WHAT?!
Weiss: But you are twice his age!
Willow: I know but when I''m with him I feel like a young woman again.
Coco: (Damn~)
Winter: But mom, pregnant at your age! Won't you have some complications during childbirth?!
Willow: With my Aura that Jaune helped me activate, my doctor told me there is nothing to worry about.
Coco: (That's nice to hear... I guess)
Winter/Weiss: But-!
Willow: Girls, Girls, calm down. I know this didn't come as a surprise. But look at it on the bright side. It is a beginning to start having a loving family. Just imagine that.
Coco: (Oh… How beautiful. But what do the daughters think?)
Winter: That...
Winter:....
Winter: That does sound nice.
Weiss: I...
Weiss: I also agree with Winter. Jaune would be an excellent father for our children.
Willow: *Excited* Excellent! Let's go tell Jaune the good news! Klein!
Klein: *Shows up* Yes Ma'am?
Willow: Prepare a bed for Jaune to lie on. I think he might need it.
Klein: Understood. *leaves*
Willow: Girls, lets go.
Winter and Weiss nod and the three leave the office to look for their children's future father. Leaving Coco alone in the room.
Coco: Jaune, you are not a legend…. You are a fucking God!! Holy fuck!!! You lucky bastard!!

often he finds himself singing to u, rapping small verses or even some sentences he feels like singing, bc GOD who would even complain hearing song mingi sing? he'd let u dye his hair whatever color u'd want, often go shopping w u and spoiling u and then showing that cute grin on his face whenever he'd make u flustered infront of other people. we heart mingi, honestly.
yunho . . .
ok so hes big man right? hes tall, hes cute, hes like got the most cute and clumsy and loving personality. this man will definitely cuddle u late at night or whenever he'd come back from rehearsals or sumf. he ALWAYS finds a way to make u nervous, for example: hes taller than you so he'd cower over you when hes asking for something or wanting to sprinkle a lil bit of playfulness into the situation. the lesson is that yunho is puuuuurrrrrfect!
jongho . . .
wakes you up by humming small tunes into your ear, if your mad at that u clearly shouldnt even be thinking of that bro. flashes that smile that has you literally KICKING YOUR FEETS. its absolutely atrocious the amount of smiling this man has me actually doing whenever im watching his lil moments or something. he'd defo take loads of couple goals pictures with you, wear matching outfits.

wooyoung . . .
idk why ok but he gives off enemies to lovers typa beat. like he would be battling w u at first and then be heads over heels, and when u FINALLY get together after some plan of friends, u realise that hes literally AMAZING. yes he probably is playful, mostly probably teases alot ngl, but thats his way of showin his love. he absolutely adores u, even if u guys are havin a competition, you always get reminded u got the most loving n best boyfie in the whole wide world. ALSO bonus he buys u so many flowers ur garden is HOARDED in the amount of flowers, he gotta clean all of it up w u, giggling when he realises how cute you look when ur mad and pulls u into a kiss, eventually forgetting about the overload of pretty flowers in ur garden.

Chan, hugs with Chan would feel like drinking a warm drink on a cold snowy winter morning.. nice, warm and comforting, the ones that make you wanna lay in bed all day. He would hug you with his entire being, you’re having a bad day? He’s gonna hug you. You just received good news? He’s gonna go in for the hug. Now I do really think he would love hugs even more if he was the one receiving them as well. One morning you’d wake up in bed alone only to find him doing something in the kitchen. He wouldn’t be aware of your presence until he felt a pair of arms wrap around his middle and a body pressing into his own. He’d smile and hide his face with one hand. The love he feels for you already overwhelming his senses and the day has barely even started!
He’d also melt into the couch if you sprawled on top of him while he was relaxing. Coming home from the studio he was surprised to find the house empty. He figured you must still be working as he sent you a quick text saying he was home. He decided to settle down on the couch after washing up and changing into a comfy pair of clothes. Not know how much time has passed the front door opened and closed. A few seconds passed before he saw your figure appear in front of him as you flopped onto him. He would greet you with a small quiet “long day?” And you would only groan in response and nuzzle your face further into his neck as his arms wrapped around you in a long comforting hug.
Lee Know, Lee Know would hug you from behind. I feel like he wouldn’t really give you an opportunity to hug him first. It’s almost as if he knows that you’re gonna hug him when you approach him. But you’re not complaining and a hug is a hug. You would lean into him as he gently rocked you two with a gentle kiss to the top of your head. One of the only times you’d be able to catch him off guard is when he’s tired. For instance he could be standing in the kitchen late at night staring off into space after getting some water. You would slowly creep up to him trying your best not to make any noise. He would let out a startled noise when you pounced on him. He would lean his entire body weight into you catching you off guard sending you both crashing into the kitchen floor. You would groan and weakly whine out his name from underneath him as he sleepily giggled.
Cooking with Lino was always fun, as most of the time it would end up with you sitting at the bar and him doing the cooking, but this time he was behind you guiding you through the recipe. You excitedly bounced your way into the kitchen with Minho right behind you. You expected him to tell you to sit down as he got started. You were a bit confused when he made his way behind you but flushed when he pulled you back into him by your middle. He wouldn’t let go of you the entire time as he guided your every movement hand and arms on top of your own, your back flush with his chest. While you didn’t think it was going to well Minho seemed to have all the confidence in you even if he was guiding you like a puppet through it. It’s moments like those that make Minho not want to let go of you ever.
Changbin, hugs with changbin would also be warm and comforting, but I can see them happening during times of joy. He would be ranting you about his new concept for an upcoming comeback when you all of sudden found yourself wrapped around him. He would stop and probably giggle a little asking where the sudden physical affection is coming from. You would start to feel shy and a bit embarrassed making a move to pull away. Bin would quickly pull you back into him whining about how he was just surprised reciprocating your hug. After that hug bin turned into an absolute baby for your hugs. He’s the type to whine when you two are not touching in any sort of way at all times. Sulking in the practice room while the others are starting to get fed up saying something along the lines of “you literally just saw them.” But of course the others would never understand how much you mean to him.
He especially loves coming home and you’re already asleep curled up in his bed. He’d quickly wash up eager to get into bed with you. Gently sliding beside you, he would wrap his arm around your middle. Holding in his coo as he felt you place your own hands on the arm he wrapped around you and push yourself closer to his chest. Waking up next to him would be in a similar position, just with him being pressed to your chest. And as long as you’re still sleeping when he wakes up he is not going anywhere. He is absolutely infatuated with you and wouldn’t change a single day with you.
Hyunjin, Hyunjin gives off quick gentle hug vibes.. I can’t explain it, but he just seems like the person who favors kisses over hugs so his hugs are always cut short. As you know he’s a busy man so he’d rather leave you with a short hug and a meaningful peck before he’s out the door. He’d hug you before before he’d leave for schedules and after he comes back. He would hug you when you woke up and before you went to bed. In short he hugs you a lot. The amount makes up for the shortness of it all. Now if he’s painting or sketching he absolutely loves when you drape your arms over his shoulders loosely wrapping around them and resting your chin atop his head. He would hum in appreciation with your gentle approach. No words would be exchanged as you watched from above as he moved his hand across whatever surface was in front of him.
A cool breeze made it’s way into the bedroom as Hyunjin joined you in the bathroom for your morning routine. He gently pull you into his side for a quick squeeze before releasing you and joining in brushing his teeth. This was a special morning where he didn’t need to be rushing out of house as soon as he awoke, so when he was finished in the bathroom he waited outside in the bedroom for you. He knew you were starting to get tired of his constant short hugs so he decided to indulge you just this once in a longer warmer hug. Walking out of the bathroom you were instantly enveloped in Hyunjin. You stood confused for a couple seconds but once you realized what was happening you were quick to put your arms back around him. Small tears gathered in your eyes as you realized how hectic everything has been lately. You and Hyunjin both didn’t realize how needed a long hug was until now, and you’d happily stay in your lovers arms forever.
Han, a lot of people see Han as the type of partner to be clingy and always wanting physical affection, not that I also don’t think that, but I also like to think he only likes to show it in the comfort of his own home. Where no one will judge him for being to touchy or clingy with his partner. Another late night kitchen hugger. All it would take was a look from one of you before you both found yourselves in the gentle embrace. He found peace in you and always looked forward to coming home to you after a long day at the company. You two would be completely flush, leaving no room for oxygen to flow between your bodies. Faces hidden in each others neck or shoulder as you just basked in the presence of the other. Enjoying the time you had alone with absolutely no worries or doubts that some one must be doing something wrong.
It was easy to fall sleepy in Hans embrace. You’d catch yourself dozing off in the middle of kitchen with him holding you up. Not that he minds, he loves how comfortable you are around him. You’d both be slowly moving around the kitchen before he caught your arm and dragged you into him. Seeing you really is his favorite time of the day. He knows that he can hug you for as long as he wants without you getting upset with him, without it feeling rushed or watched. He loves when you rake your fingers through the back of his hair, when you softly start to massage at his shoulders. All of the days tension and stress melts off him just by looking at you.
Felix, he hugs you anywhere and everywhere, from behind, from the front, from the sides. He loves when your sitting down because then he just plop his head in your lap and wrap his arms around you keeping you from moving. He loves going shopping with you because then he can wrap his arm around your middle and keep you close to him. He loves when you approach him because then he can wrap around you from the front smothering you with him. He just loves hugs and loves you and you aren’t complaining.
Felix loves shopping with you, he’d probably say it’s his favorite thing ever. He would go store to store with his arm wrapped around your middle because how can he not show you affection when you’re right next to him. He’d only let you go when you wanted to try on clothes after arguing that he should go into the fitting room with you. He would awkwardly stand off to the side waiting for you to either come out and show him or come out and be done. You didn’t have a lot of clothes to try on and the store seemed pretty busy so you didn’t want to hold any other shoppers up. You came out of the fitting room a little pouty because non of the clothes looked how you imagined they would look on you. Felix in response would giggle and tell you that it was ok and you’d try the next store. Your arms would be slightly lifted from your sides just knowing and waiting for his soft touch. You softly smiled as you felt the familiar touch and you started to wonder if Felix even knew about his constant embrace or not. You’d never complain though, it was something you loved about him.
Seungmin, very similar to Han when it comes to only showing physical touch in privacy. Of course in public he would hold your hand if you wanted to, but he would never hug you as to him it was a private showcase of love. At first you thought he was embarrassed to be seen with you, but he quickly reassured you that he just doesn’t feel comfortable showing much physical affection in public. Even in the privacy of your own home he wouldn’t hug you that much. He would gently squeeze you before he left to do schedules but most of the time he chose to show affection in soft touches.
You always hated when Seungmin had to leave for work, it always seemed like it was all day and the time you had together was spent sleeping. But you knew that he couldn’t help it so you got used to the house being empty of him. Of course before he would leave you would wake up much to his disapproval. Most of the time you’d catch him right before he was out the door putting on his shoes. He’d head you coming looking up and seeing you sleepy tumbling around the hallway in his direction. His gaze would soften as he opened his arms for the hug he knew was coming. He would rightly bound you in his arms and squeeze. You just recently started squeezing him back and he loved every second of it. Gently rocking you two in a circle he would release you with one quick squeeze and a kiss in your forehead before promised to be home later and walking out the door.
Jeongin, even though he doesn’t like physical affection all that much, hugs with Jeongin would only happen when you two are cuddling. On the couch, the floor, in bed. To him it feels for meaningful and personal. He wants them to be long, he prefers showing his love for you in ways that last longer than a couple minutes. He’d prefer to be wrapped up in your hold it comforts him in a way.
Laying down on the couch Jeongin was quick to join climbing on top of you. Resting his head in the crook of your neck your arms would come up to rub his back. He released a loud sigh as you felt him start to relax. And at this point you knew it had been a long day for him and expected him to fall asleep sooner rather than later. His hands would come up underneath you and hold onto your shoulders so they weren’t awkwardly sitting at his sides. No words would be exchanged between the two as your hands roamed up to his hair, slowly carding through and detangling it as you went. You knew he fell asleep when soft snores started to escape him. Moving back down to wrap around his back you’d find yourself nodding off not long after.
—————
Ahhh it’s finally finished, this has been in the works for awhile but I’ve been mostly asleep or in to much pain to finish 😭 I’m sorry if any of the members feel rushed I added bits and pieces for the past month, but I already have another work in process so you won’t have to wait another month 😊 and reblogs/feedback would be much appreciated.

have any snippets you want to share from what you wrote last night? 👀
it took me a bit to figure out how you knew i’d been writing last night hahahahahaha. i’m finally settling back into working on the sequel to the poison immunity fic! progress is slow but steady, which has actually been quite nice. This takes place on Zou after the crew arrives from Dressrosa but before they split up again to go to Wano and WCI, respectively. Disclaimer, of course, that this is a draft :'3c
“A whale’s lifespan is rarely longer than, oh, seventy years,” Brook hums, tilting his head to the side, curling white-bone fingers through the darkness in a vague gesture out to sea. “I will cherish my time with Laboon, but in the grand scheme of an endless death, the years he has left are so very small.”
Zoro watches him, bleached body almost reflective even in the dim moonlight, and not for the first time (or the tenth time, or the hundredth time) Zoro is struck full-force with the incomprehensible horror of Brook’s strength. More than any of them, he is an immovable force. Untethered (and who could blame him) but still here. 
“Fifteen at most, then,” Zoro replies, “give or take,” and Brook tilts his head the opposite direction, a learned courtesy to show he’s listening. 
“Optimistically, yes,” Brook replies. His voice is light, carefree like always. “Whatever I am given, I will take. It’s more time than I spent half a century believing I had, after all.”
“We’ll all still be alive.”
“And quite spry, in fact.” Brook nods. “When Laboon passes, I will still have my crew. I won’t be alone—not again. Not yet.”
“Not yet,” Zoro grunts back, blunt as ever, and as he shrugs a wordless yohoho! floats up between them. He thinks of a span of time more than twice his age, so long he can’t wrap his head around the depth of it—and he thinks of sagged bodies decaying in sprawls across rotten wood, purple and bloated with a poison of their own. 
“I find it funny that people so rarely talk to me of death,” Brook hums, light and easy. 
Zoro snorts. “You’re always talking about death.”
“Oh, indeed. But one man does not a conversation make.” He chuckles, then—quick. Bright. “I would know!”
It’s hard not to feel his own mouth pull into some kind of involuntary smile, even as his brain processes what’s been said. Brook is just so—Brook. Not for the first time, Zoro marvels at him. 
Still, though—
“Maybe it’s ‘cause you do that,” Zoro says. “The jokes and shit.”
And Brook throws his head back—his arms out—and laughs. Laughs loud enough to wake Nami but doesn’t, somehow (which is a good thing and also a terrible thing, Zoro thinks—he wonders how long it’s been since she properly slept, waiting for them here, waiting for Luffy to come and fix things). Still, he mutters, Oi—and Brook twists his bony neck to look down at him—grinning. Always grinning. Physically incapable of anything else. 
“Oh, but that’s the point!” Brook says, absolutely delighted. “I’m a musician!”
Zoro feels his own eyebrows raise, but Brook is Brook is Brook—so he just grunts,“I don’t follow.”
And animated in his own strange, manic little moment of joy, Brook sways, spinning once across the grass and slipping out of his coat in the dance—before he folds smoothly into a crouch in front of them both. Without missing a beat, he gently, gently drapes his coat across Nami (and across Zoro’s legs, too) and says, “My job is joy.”
“Joy.” It’s a statement and a question in one. 
Brook simply nods, standing straight again. In the moonlight, his bones shine. “Death is an inevitable part of life, and if I can make you fear it just a bit less—make you laugh just a bit more when you think of it because you think of me, then I have served my purpose. We are surrounded by death—seeped in it—but death is proof we are alive. All things need an antithesis, a mirrored opposite such that its best qualities can shine against the juxtaposition. Without death, what is life! And what is life if not laughter and music and companionship! We must laugh at death to laugh in life!”
Zoro watches him, bursting forth with a half-coherent rambling into the night—and he doesn’t get it. But at the same time, he does. 
But— 
“Maybe it's good for the others, but I’m not afraid of dying,” Zoro bites, more defensive than he means. It has been—a day. “I’m not afraid of shit.”
With easy acquiescence, Brook nods. “Of course,” he says, still light and breezy. “I believe that’s part of what our dear Navigator has taken issue with—one could argue that’s part of the overall issue at hand. But, I must say—if anything, this is proof that you do still fear death. Fundamentally different.”
“Oi—”
“It’s not a weakness!” Brook says, shaking his head. “Or if it is, I’m quite spineless myself—oh, but I do have a spine! You can see it right here—” he poses, distracting himself, giggling against the sky as Zoro frowns. 
“Doesn’t seem any different to me. And also—I don’t.”
“Everyone has a spine, Zoro—even if you can’t—”
“That’s not what I meant and you know it,” Zoro grumbles—but it’s around the twitched lips of a suppressed laugh. Because of course—
And then Brook says, “You do indeed. You fear our Captain’s death more than anything, anything in the world, though you know better than anyone but me, perhaps, that it will come.”

if you wouldn't mind sharing, what did schitt's creek do disappointingly in its story? thank you!
so, like. i mean, i think the show was flawed from the start -- i think a lot of the jokes rely on this image of the, like, small-town 'hick,' that in turn relies on a pretty hefty set of classist assumptions that i don't think dan levy was, you know, interested in interrogating in any serious way. i don't watch sitcoms for their revolutionary politics lol but there were certain moments in eg. roland and jocelyn's characterisation in particular that left an incredibly bad taste in my mouth. (ftr i think season 1 is pretty poor, 2-4 are genuinely good tv, 5 + 6 are a mess.)
but my specific frustration was -- so, at the end of season 4, we see moira despondent that the crows have eyes 2 was shelved; we also see the culmination of a season's worth of work having gone into the community production of cabaret. from here, the plot beats seemed so obvious to me that i was literally like certain i knew how moira's arc would end: clearly, this was an opportunity for her to realise that pursuing the sort of 'fame' she had before was a losing battle that was making her unhappy (and had always made her unhappy!), and that she could find genuine fulfilment through pursuing the kind of 'local,' small-town community opportunities that cabaret was supposed to represent. i mean obviously i have my various communist gripes with this position, but like, by the standards i hold sitcoms from nepo babies to, it's fair enough! it's a compelling enough response to the setup of the show -- the roses have lost everything and have to learn to live without everything. moira relied on a seemily fictitious narrative of public adoration; an insanely easy way to eke some character growth out of her would surely be to have her realise that small, local projects with her friends bring her a joy that public validation never could.
but, like. by the end of the show, moira gets back on the showbusiness ladder, to the point where her old show is rebooted. johnny gets a foot back in the business world. alexis is a businesswoman. david is a businessman! david chooses to stay in schitt's creek whilst the others leave for NY and cali, which is a compelling enough narrative choice on its own, but like -- come on, he opens a v bougie business and Gets Married and whatever the fuck else, it's boring, it's the same old narrative of assimilation into the bourgeois classes. it makes for a nice contrast against the end of season one but i don't believe he's a fundamentally changed person; he's just found a way to make his old tendencies make sense in a new setting.
there's a sense that the lives of the roses essentially reset; that they've been given the opportunity to return to their old lives, taking the 'lessons' they were able to learn from their time in schitt's creek with them. if anything's been "learnt" then it's these v individualist perspectives on, like, bootstraps and hard work; david and alexis have graduated from being nepo children into people with a legitimate intellectual claim to the bourgeois class. johnny has proven himself as a businessman. moira has uhhhh put on a production of cabaret, which justifies her going back to the old life that clearly made her miserable. like -- there's no sense that their old lives were bad, just a sense that they hadn't quite earnt the right to them yet. and in that, everyone in schitt's creek ends up ultimately reduced to a vehicle by which they can earn the right to their bourgeois status. it's a v nasty ethos, and as much as i find individual points of the show pretty funny (like, funnier than your average sitcom), i just -- like, it's so cruel at its centre?

Hi! could you do a reader with Five Hargreaves with Prompt 13. 'If I didn’t know any better I’d say you have feelings for me.'
thank you :)
Praise of my past
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Five Hargreaves x Fem!reader
Sorry for getting to this late💗
Prompts: 13 “"If I didn't know any better l'd say you have feelings for me."
Warnings: Five being cocky and heavy flirting with the reader, cussing, implied spicy book. Also a lot of “tension”
Length: Medium
Tumblr media
Five Hargreaves knew more things then most people have the hope of knowing, he was very observant. He would walk into a room and immediately take notice of every small detail but, when it came to you it was something he took joy in noticing.
The way light would reflect off your hair, or the smile placed on your lips at almost every moment of the day no matter what. You always tried to being out the good in people and you even managed it with five.
But you hid behind being nice and sweet but when it came to five being around you couldn’t stop being shy. When ever his eyes look at you, your stomach was filled with butterflies and heart racing. He made you so flustered.
But five noticed that you couldn’t keep eye contact with him for more then a few seconds and he’s caught you glancing at him when you thought he wasn’t looking.
He took pride in it.
So that’s why he got closer to you at times, touches that lingering or just making comments that made you flustered. Five wasn’t stupid, far from it, but he was stupid in love and he knew you were too.
He just wanted to catch you in the acted. So that’s what’s he was going to do.
Sitting alone in a chair with a book in hand you take a sip of your drink, enjoying a moment of peace. The past few weeks have been a handful but at least now you got at least five minutes of quiet.
“Praise of my past, now that’s something I wouldn’t expecting you to read.” You spoke to soon. Your eyes go wide and look at the person who interrupted you and there you saw five looking at you with a smirked.
“I’m full of surprises.” Panic and embarrassment took ahold of you while you closed the book and shoved it close to your chest.
Five chuckled at your reaction and walked towards you and you felt nothing but heat fall over your body. He looked amazing in the lighting and every time he was near, you couldn’t think about anything else but him.
“Reading a book is nothing to be ashamed of,” he took a seat next to you while placing down a glass cup, “I’ve read that exact one.” You gasped in shook and little bit of amusement.
“No, you? The great Five has read a romance book?” The giggle that left your voice made it hard for him not to smile, even if you were making fun of him.
“The apocalypse has a limited amount of books to read.” The giggles turned into laughter at the vision of, Five Hargreaves reading this book.
“Even the..” taking a break you tried not to explode with laughter, “Exotic parts?” Five nodded and that broke something in you. Letting the book fall from your lap you leaned over and your laughter only raised.
Five watched while the same warmth in his body reappeared at seeing how happy you seemed to be. Though he wished it was something else that made you laugh and not him, but he’ll take what he can.
The book was closer to Five and he picked it up, you being too hysterical to notice, he opened the book to the last part. His eyes scanned over the page and tried to find the one scene he liked and remembered.
Coming down from your high you wiped your eyes while tears perked up in the sides. Then you looked back at five and your face dropped and you saw how far he was into the book. It made you flustered and ashamed even if you knew he’d read it before.
“Wha-…What are you doing?” You asked him while his grin only grew and glanced at you. “You have this page marked.” Moving quickly you tried to grabbed it out of his hands but he teleported away before you could.
A groan left your lips while your hands met with just the air. “I thought you would know better.” His voice sounded too amused for your liking.
Turing around you crossed your arms and shifted your weight to one leg. “Give me it back, Five.” He’s never seen you this mad or how you looked at him, he liked it.
“Woah, that’s new for you.” Teleporting away you looked around for him but found nothing. “I thought you never got mad.” A yelp left your throat when he wrapped his arms around you out of no where.
It didn’t take you longer then two seconds to realize how he was holding you and how close he was. He was teasing you and you couldn’t tell if it was because he liked you back or pulling a prank on you. But he was being a asshole because he knew how much power he had over you.
His arms wrapped around your body and his body pressed back against your back, his head now sitting on your shoulder and you could hear and feel his breath.
“If I didn’t know any better I’d say you have feelings for me.” He whisper close to your ear and your breath hitched, a lump found it’s way to your throat causing it hard to speak.
You didn’t know what to do next because this could be a sick joke, a way to make you look like a fool, but how could you not give this a shot?
“You’re the one with your hands around my waist.” You felt proud when you felt him tension for even one second but he let out a chuckle and he relaxed.
“That’s a fare point, so let me make one.,” he turned you around facing him and closely. “I do have feelings for you and I know you have them for me too.” He took your chin into his hands and made you stay looking at him and into his eyes.
“Ditch the book and let me show you what romance is really like.”

THE CHARIOT
Control, Willpower, Success, Action, Determination
With the fact that you now know what it is you want, now all you need is the journey to get there. With your willpower and control over your own being you will be successful in reaching your goal.
The main point of this card is that you need to keep the focus while continuing on in your goal. Much like driving a car you have to be careful of everything around you.
You are someone who is courageous and brave so that means that the journey you are taking should be an easy one if you know that kind of person you are. Be bold in what you do and how you do it.
VII THE CHARIOT
Tumblr media
You felt your heart beating rapidly as you tried to take in breaths. Your muscles were aching but you wanted to keep going. “Alright guys! We're done for the day.” The dance teacher called out to all of you. 
As the others were getting ready to leave the studio and enjoy some dinner, you stayed behind to drink a bit of water. While they had all made their way out, you were left in the room alone with one other. 
“(Y/N)?” Jeongin called out to you. “Do you wanna go out to eat?” He asked. 
You had gotten close to the youngest of the group because of the way he seemed to hold himself. He was a shy boy at first but once you got to know he was such a joy to be around. He might not be a sunshine like Felix was but I.N had his own light that brought everyone in. 
He called for your attention. He wanted it in the way he walked but once he had it he acted as though he didn’t need it. It made you laugh at how he made people think he was an innocent boy when really he knew how to get people to like him without trying. 
“I'll eat later, Innie.” You smiled at him. “Imma try to get some of the routine down better.”
“Don't push yourself.” You almost cooed at his frown. 
“I won't.” You got up, bounding over to him. “I know better.” 
When you turned to get to the stereo, you noticed he was putting down his things and stretching for a moment. “What are you doing?” You asked him. 
“I'm going to stay and help you.” His smile made your heart flutter. “Nothing wrong with a little bit of extra practice.”
“You don't have to.” You told him. 
“It's okay.” He shrugged. “Besides, I want to go out with you anyways.”
You laughed a little as you became flustered. “Okay.” You looked down to the floor with a smile. 
And so you and I.N danced for another hour laughing as you guys spent a good while just goofing off. It made the whole practice better–being able to laugh things off with him. You had always liked the way he sang. The classes you took with him for vocal lessons had you watching him in awe. And watching him dance honestly made you feel heated. But that’s how you felt about all of the boys. 
“That's enough for the day.” You grinned, leaning over the panting boy. “We can go to eat.”
After getting showered and meeting up in the lobby of JYP, you both made your way down to a small restaurant that was open. It was a nice thing and you were glad he had waited for you to finish. You like it better when you ate with other people. You were excited how dorm life would  be like. 
“You're really into this.” Jeongin began. “I like that about you. You have so much motivation for this whole thing it's hard to keep up with you.”
“I try not to go too hard.” You told him, taking some kimchi. “It sucks to burn yourself out.”
“There are a lot of people who do that.” I.N nodded to himself. “Chan Hyung said it when he was a trainee they did that a lot.”
“Yeah, I don't want to end up like those people.” You smiled softly. “But honestly doing this means I'm ready for what's to come. I know if I keep at it things will go my way in the end.” You looked up at him, grinning. “Gotta keep a positive mind over it.”
“Like me staying with you to go out to eat?” He asked with a teasing smile.
“You really wanted me to?” You raised a brow.
“You're pretty cool.” He shrugged. “Almost as cool as Hyunjin.”
Hwang Hyunjin the boy who made everyone swoon with his good looks. You wished you could reach his level of attractiveness. Most of you all had a crush on him the day you met. But I.N was pretty obvious with it–at least his admiration for him. 
“No one is as cool as he is.” You laughed. 
“He's kind of dramatic though.” I.N added. 
“But very handsome.” You pointed out. 
“He is.” He sighed deeply, nodding along with your statement. 
Hyunjin might have been a handsome boy, but your type were the ones who had braces and the youngest of the groups. 
You suddenly grinned, reaching over to poke his forehead lightly. “You are too!” You giggled. “I think you're very adorable.”
“I am not!” He whined, jokingly rubbing at the spot you poked. 
“Yes you are!” You continued. “You can call yourself whatever you want but to me you are super cute and adorable.” You sat back down in your seat, expression turning soft. 
“I like that about you.” You admitted. 
His cheeks turned bright red causing you to smile. You had a long road ahead of you but you were glad to have the boys along your side. And you couldn’t help but to have a crush on one of them. 
“I'll show you!” He whined.
“I'm excited for it!”

Let’s deconstruct this…
Ok, so at this point I’ve seen a great many things written on Who Ed is with a capital W, and even I’ve thrown bits and pieces of my hat in the ring. But there is one particular thing I have a burning desire to express, and that is, respectfully, Edward’s softness is his own damnit.
Tumblr media
There’s a pretty popular notion gaining traction in the fandom that Ed’s softness is just as much a performance as Blackbeard. That him embracing it fully in those brief moments of episode 10 before “the kraken” was unhealthy actually, and he wasn’t being true to himself. In summary: Ed requires Blackbeard to be whole. And my question is: why do people find Ed an unreliable narrator in his softness, or more specifically, why do people think he lacks autonomy of it?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It bothers me when people say that Ed is trying to be like Stede to gain approval in these moments, because the only major similarity I see is aesthetic. Guys a huge theme of the show is older queer men finally finding ways to escape varying forms of toxic masculinity, and understanding that their queerness does not exclude them from manhood. Homogenizing two effeminate gay men and implying that one is “losing himself” to the idiosyncrasies of the other goes directly against this goal. In fact it actually perpetuates negative gay stereotypes, but I’ve made a video essay where I discuss that at length.
Tumblr media
Edward writes and performs a song on deck when he wants to process and share his feelings openly. Not only is this waaay more emotional honesty than we ever see Stede express (on purpose at least), but this is a creative outlet unique to Ed. Theatrical story telling is an established motif in Ed’s character the same way literary storytelling is for Stede’s. Edward’s not only dealing with his hurt in a way Stede definitely wouldn’t (he didn’t, Stede went out of his way pretend everything was fine in episode 8), he’s also doing so through an established passion of his.
The Swede wasn’t full of shit when he said that performance can simply be an expression of you. This is not Ed trying to put on a new mask when the old one proved ineffective. This is him finding comfort and even joy in finally using performance to reveal himself instead of hide. I don’t understand why the credit for this beautiful moment of self discovery must be ripped from Ed and used to accuse Stede.
Tumblr media
It’s the same with the “SiLk GoWn”. This is the same person who lovingly touches every piece of nice fabric he lays eyes on, and lit up like a fucking Christmas tree the second someone said the word “fashion.” Ed has had a deep love and longing for such a soft pretty thing since day 1. These were ingrained and suppressed in Ed all long before Stede came on the scene. That robe may literally belong to Stede, but just as he wore it as a sign of his newfound boldness under the safety of someone loving him for who he is, Ed’s choice to wear it symbolizes the blossoming autonomy of his own identity. To continue enjoying the things Stede made him feel safe enjoying even without his presence.
Tumblr media
Now let’s move on (or backwards I guess?) to the academy. Something I’ve seen a lot is people decrying that Ed is sacrificing his authenticity to play a housewife for Stede. Guys… he just folded some socks, calm tf down. Saying something like this about a gay man just trying to do something small and sweet for someone he loves, again, really seems to perpetuate the toxic masculinity this show hauls ass to deconstruct. Yes the answer to toxic masculinity isn’t just “effeminacy is perfect and good”. But Ed can be genuinely content with finally being able to partake in the domesticity he never got to experience without perpetuating that.
And you know what, he can be unsure of the best way to fulfill that desire and change his mind. I don’t quite like the disregard for Ed’s autonomy when people say his decision to stay at the academy or find an escape is driven only by whatever he thinks Stede wants. He is taking Stede’s feelings into consideration because that is perfectly healthy when you love someone and want a life with them, but his choices are still absolutely driven by his own needs moment by moment too.
Tumblr media
I think people really take Ed understandably not wanting to be subjugated by the British and run with it. Like yes he is visibly uncomfortable with the soldiers treating him like an exotic animal they’ve tamed because no shit. But I don’t know how many times Ed has to blatantly state he does not want to be a pirate anymore for it to be believed.
Tumblr media
Edward is not an exception to this. Even if he managed to thrive emotionally in this line of work once upon a time and there are aspects of it he enjoys, Ed still became a pirate out of desperation. He didn’t choose it any more than Oluwande and Jim did, he was fleeing poverty and abuse.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s not that piracy is a net bad and that Ed should want to distance himself from it. It’s that he assumed piracy is the only option he’s ever had in life even when it hurts him, and the realization that he has the freedom to choose differently is empowering and a net good. Him wanting to run to China with Stede, or take the crew’s funky acts on the road, whether they’re practical or not (especially in this show) is beside the point. The point is Ed’s absolute unbridled joy in their possibilities, the pure delight in discovering that you are not chained to a series of decisions you made under extreme duress 30 years ago.
No, Ed is not doing a complete 180 of his personality during his NoBeard era. He’s been forced to sacrifice his personhood for decades, and is now finally wrestling it out the grasp of thousands of people… at the age of 50 and during two of his darkest moments no less. How absolutely amazing.

Some hcs I wrote for Yu Ran, with the same prompt as the Ethan/Feng Xun hcs I wrote! For @boybandposter , I hope it’s good enough!
. ࣪ ˖ Yu Ran:
Tumblr media
• Yu Ran’s wise and levelheaded personality would make him the perfect boyfriend. He’s got everything you could possibly ask for in a partner- he’s smart, kind, and attractive!
• Growing up, Yu Ran seemed to me to be very docile and defenseless and would often let himself get pushed around. That being said, though he has climbed his way to the top in Tangton’s council now, he understands how it feels to be powerless, and so isn’t going to let slide anyone messing with you, under any circumstances. Kindness be damned, don’t let him find out someone has hurt you if you don’t want him to unleash hell on them. He’ll stick up for you, that’s something he’s quite good at.
• He may not be fond of violence, but trust me when I say it won’t go unnoticed if someone has upset you. He will take care of them for you. Speaking of taking care of, he loves to take care of you. Simple little things like bringing home your favorite food, listening to you rant after a long day, or just checking on you every day- all of these things are how he shows you he cares. He is very generous as well, I think he’d also be quite fond of spoiling you with a nice gift from time to time. The look of pure joy on your face is all he needs to feel fulfilled.
• Yu Ran seems to never run out of patience, and so I think he would be the ideal person to confide in if you have a problem. Not only is he patient, but he is extremely smart- he can solve a problem if you need him to. Even if he is great with advice, he’s not so talkative unless he really needs to be, like when he’s working. He much prefers to listen to you rant about something, give some advice, and then work out what he can do for you in that moment to fix what is bothering you. If you’re really upset about something, he can offer a distraction instead. I think he’d really enjoy reading to you!
• He’s definitely the overprotective type, but not in a too overbearing way. He is more concerned with keeping you safe- him being a politician and you being in a relationship with him, it’s only natural that you could be a vulnerable target for anyone trying to get under his skin and oppose the morals and ideals he purveys. His protective and caring nature might agitate you at times, but he means well. He will always remind you to stay vigilant if he can’t be by your side. There’s some evil people out there after all!
• I feel that Yu Ran would be excellent at showing his affection towards you though small gestures and acts. He feels the little things are most important- he remembers your favorite tea, or your favorite flowers, and often surprises you with how much he remembers. He’s very observant and pays attention to the little details, and what may not seem important to you will always be important to him.
• Quality time is extremely important to him- he would love to teach you to play chess, if you’ll allow him. If you’re not as patient as him and can’t get the hang of it, he understands. He is a busy man after all, so he would never take the time you spend with him for granted, regardless of what you’re doing. He probably prefers to stay in to spend time with you- he enjoys simple, laidback sorts of activities with you. Especially if he has a stressful day, there’s nothing he would enjoy more than to read a book next to you while you do your own thing, or taking a relaxing bath with you if you would be okay with that.
• He won’t admit it, but he is also fond of physical touch and he does quite enjoy when you pet his horns. He finds your fascination with them to be endearing. While he’s probably not fond of pda, he really enjoys physical touch when it’s just the two of you. Yu Ran will hold you close to him while the both of you sleep, and takes all of the time he can get to do so. His embrace feels safe, and comforting. It provides you with this feeling of protection.
• I imagine his job probably gets stressful for him sometimes, and so as much as he loves taking care of you, it would go such a long way for him if you did something for him to make him feel taken care of as well. I think if you were to do something nice for him like cook for him or buy him something, he would have to hold himself back from proposing on the spot. He’s used to caring for you, and when that care is returned and he falls for you even harder, it’s how he knows you’re the one and only person he could ever love.

May I plz request welt bf headcannons ? Both sfw and nsfw plz
Welt Yang Boyfriend Headcanons
*a/n: 𝓜𝓻. 𝓨𝓪𝓷𝓰😍 my very first honkai love*
As always, 🛑Minors DNI🛑
Sfw
Being in a relationship with Welt is as easy as breathing. You make him feel young again and he wants to spend as long as he can going on adventures and creating everlasting memories with you. He is literally the most accommodating, easy going, and kind man in the entire universe. Just wants to travel the universe with you and hold you tight
Welt also is quite the romantic and easily sweeps you off your feet, literally and metaphorically. This man had PomPom clear the main cabin of the express to give you the most perfect confession of your life. Candle lit dinner, dimmed lights, beautiful starry view of space, even showed up with small bouquet of roses to give to you when you came to the main cabin. The only thing he missed was actually telling you to come meet him and the only reason you ended up coming in is thanks to Himeko giving you a little hint
Please remember though that Welt is a bit of a traditionalist in the sense of respecting personal boundaries both in public and private. It’s not that he won’t wrap his arm around you or hold your hand, but he won’t ever do it without asking first and he certainly won’t be overly affectionate in front of anyone. So if you’re looking for a smoochy while Dan Heng and March are there, you’re out of luck because the man will dodge you or go for a forehead kiss
With Welt being a bit of traditionalist I also think he’s a bit overprotective of you no matter your gender and sees himself as sort of the stereotypical ‘man of the house’ in the relationship. Not to say he’ll emasculate you or be misogynistic, he would literally apologize his entire life if he ever did that, he just takes it upon himself to be your protector and takes on those types of responsibilities. However, this will never make Welt stop you from going on adventures with others or alone. He wants you safe, yes, but he never wants to keep you in cage just to make himself feel more at ease
Dates with Welt are always well thought out and planned with you in mind. Welt is a pretty simple guy, he just likes seeing the sights and going to cool places, so it’s incredibly easy for him to find joy in any place or activity. Shopping? He could spend hours in a tech or mechanic shop looking at gadgets or just looking at you try on clothes or fawn over something you like. Sports? He may be up in age, but that doesn’t mean he’s decrepit and he will dunk on you with only a shred of mercy. And you know he’s always happy to go adventuring or exploring in even some mundane place like an abandoned mall or hospital.
Welt loves, loves, loves just existing with you. He loves being domestic and mundane with you by just doing your own things in the same room or doing something sweet together like cooking or doing the household chores together. He especially loves learning to cook something new that neither of you have ever tried before
Cuddle with this man and he will practically be putty in your hand. He’s literally so tense and getting a moment to just melt into your arms makes him feel 10 years younger. Also, ask him to tell you about something while cuddling and you’ll have his heart beating. He loves to subtly show off to you all the cool things he knows and can do. So please praise him and maybe lightly fangirl when he does cool things, it really brings his confidence up. He also thinks it’s really nice that you listen to him and ask him about more interesting things since most people only ask him to explain something educational and not actually retell any cool adventures he’s had
Welt is definitely the type of man to make you tea when you sound under the weather or you feel too hot/cold. He also might have a bad habit of letting you off the hook when it comes to work or the more boring bits of running and being on the express. He just doesn’t want you to overdo it like he does sometimes. You might also be the only person Welt 100% listens to regarding his well-being. Himeko and PomPom cannot thank you enough for getting this man to finally lay down and rest instead of staying up all night.
Fighting with Welt is incredibly rare and it never ever gets explosive or is done in public. The only thing he ever gets irritated with you over is if you have a lack of self preservation. He absolutely cannot stand seeing you battered and bruised, or worse on the brink of death because of an enemy. He’s great at communicating, even if it sometimes feels awkward, and he will sit you down and tell you exactly how he feels about your lack or care for yourself. Welt loves you, and not just loves you, he is in love with. You own his heart, you are his entire being, and he will be a dead man before he lets something take you from him prematurely. If you also happen to bring up how he sometimes acts and how he likes to play martyr himself, he will work on it with you so you both can stay safer while out in the field
I feel like Welt likes to give massages and he’s pretty decent at it too. He’s definitely better at massaging your back than say your legs or feet, but he will absolutely give you a full body massage if you ask. He won’t even make you pay him back, he just wants you to be comfy and relaxed
Kissing Welt will always make him flustered, doesn’t matter if it’s the first time you guys kiss or the 1 millionth time, his cheeks always get a bit pinker after. This man lives for the domestic type of kisses. He loves when you welcome him back to the express or even just back to the room with a kiss and a sweet smile. Same with the welcome kisses he loves goodbye kisses and will not leave the room or the express until he gets at least one kiss. Do not, and I mean do not, play with his kisses. Welt can be surprisingly childish when you try to play any sort of joke on him like pretending you didn’t hear him say goodbye or dodging his kisses. I mean he will legit do it back to you for as long as you did it to him all while he gives you this teasing smile. He will purposely not say goodbye to you anymore and even just straight up put his hand in your face when you try to kiss him and then chuckle at you when you give him a surprised pikachu face
This has nothing to do with Welt being your bf, but I really can’t help but think of Welt when I hear Constellations by the Oh Hellos and I can’t help but imagine him quietly singing this to himself when he thinks no one is around
Nsfw
This man right here is anything you want him to be. While he does have a slight preference for being the one in control or at the least bottoming from the top, he has no issue letting you take control whenever you want
Welt is a bit hesitant to try anything that’s not standard in what he considers ‘normal’ sex. Things like toys, bondage, or more intense kinks like choking or spanking have never really crossed his mind before. He’s willing to try them out for you though, but he won’t ever be too rough with you when it comes to spanking or choking since he’d rather be sweet and cherish you
Omg Welt is a certified pussy/ass eater and he gives earth shattering blowjobs. He can go all night just giving oral to you. Literally let him go to town on you and you’ll have to shove his head away or actually yank his hair to get him away from you because trying to actually move away is impossible when he’s got an iron grip on your thighs
He doesn’t mind if you laugh or crack a few jokes during sex. Sex is weird and makes weird noises and he’s held back some laugher himself from time to time. So don’t feel bad if you giggle at something silly that happened because chances are he’s laughing about it too. Just as long as you aren’t laughing to be mean he’ll join you in your laughing fit. I like to think at least once Welt’s glasses came off his face and just bonked you in yours in the middle of sex, definitely brought the sexy mood down for a moment when you both couldn’t stop laughing for a solid minute
Once you introduce Welt to some different kinks, I think he really takes to shibari and tying you up in general. It’s just really intimate to have him wrap different colored rope over your body and have him practically worship you while he does it
Speaking of, he loves giving body worship. Literally treats you like a king/queen and calls you as such
Loves when you praise him, again with wanting to impress you, he loves when you moan out how good he’s making you feel and loves it even more if he gets you to a point where you can barely even form a single word
Has definitely a time or two turned one of his massages into sexy time by being handsy with you of course only after he heavily hinted at what he was gonna do in case you wanted to refuse
Welt also really loves having early morning/sleepy sex with you. He especially loves it when you both get to be on a planet since on the express there really isn’t any soft, aesthetic morning light streaming in
He plays music when you guys have sex, like records filled with sappy love songs or soft songs with no lyrics will be quietly playing in the background making it feel like some scene in a movie

Matty won't shut up about Este's success
1103 words
a/n: Once again this was not requested but I looooovveeee the idea of Matty being Este’s biggest supporter through big moments in her career so here i wrote about it🥰🥰 it’s a bit short but lmk what u think!
(I wrote an entire 15 chapter fic of this universe! Read it here if you want more Matty and Este😌)
“A 35,000 person capacity festival is just unfathomable to me. I can’t even picture that many people—let alone going up and performing for them. Being present in the crowd at your headline set back in 2019, where I specifically remember being impressed by you and your rockstar-esque poise and confidence, I can’t help but wonder if these crazy performances are an easier pill to swallow now? With that experience?”
Matty humbly shot down the ‘rockstar’ comment.
“That’s very kind, but I mean the festival crowds are something I really will never get used to. The pure size of them is one thing, but there’s also this energy of needing to win them over. Keep their attention. It’s a lot of pressure, so I don’t think I can say that I find it easy.”
The interviewer nodded their head in understanding, comfortably sat on a chair across from Matty and asking him a few questions before him and the band took the stage at Big Weekend 2023 in Dundee.
“Yeah, totally. And I’m sure it’s interesting going straight into a summer full of these big festivals straight after the break you’ve just been on, right?” They asked.
He draped one leg over the other before answering. “A bit. It’s always nice to warm back up with a headline show since that’s where we feel the most comfortable. Also—as silly as it sounds—three weeks was a long fucking time. For me, at least. When we’re in an album cycle and touring the shit out of it, it’s so rare for us to stop for that long.”
“What do you get up to when you’re off nowadays? I can sense a workaholic vibe from you, so is that time spent in the studio? Jumping to the next thing now that Being Funny has been out and heard and loved?” The interviewer said in a thick Scottish accent, shuffling their cards as they spoke.
“You sensed the vibe correctly,” Matty confirmed, “though it’s not entirely ‘work’ to me, I guess. It’s just the way I make sense of the world, sort of dunno what else I’d do. So yes, I did write and I am working on the next album. But I didn’t get around to it right away, since I spent some time celebrating first,”
“That’s a very artistic answer, Matty. That writing isn’t work and is ‘the way you make sense of the world’,” They joked, earning a sheepish chuckle from Matty. “May I ask if you were celebrating anything in particular? The success of your UK tour?”
“It wasn’t that self indulgent,” he explained, “I was hoping you’d ask because I love talking about it. My girlfriend is a writer for The Guardian, and she just had a huge piece of hers published. She’s the real rockstar out of the both of us, to be honest.” Matty’s face immediately lit up at the chance to gush about Este, figuring she wouldn’t mind.
He thought back to moment she gave him a call to break the news with a fond smile.
“Hi, love.” he said after he picked up.
Este was bursting at the seams with joy to say what she said next. She couldn’t even bear to greet him a ‘hello’ back.
“It’s going to be on the front.”
He dropped the chopsticks once gripped in his hands. “You’re fucking joking.”
Her smile was so wide it hurt her cheeks as she paced around the small office she shared with a few other writers she worked with. She giggled, nodding even though Matty couldn’t see her.
“17th of May. They chose mine as the Culture spotlight,” Este explained, “So there’s a snippet headline on the cover, and then you’ll flip to Books & Entertainment and my name will be the biggest one. Not just in my usual column.”
“You’re fucking joking me!” He repeated himself, audibly joyful with a volume so high she had to pull her phone away from her ear.
“Matty, you’re screaming. I hope you’re not in public,”
He was, and didn’t care. “I’m at a very nice and small Japanese restaurant that is so quiet that every single person here is looking at me like I’m crazy, for your information. Este’s on the fucking cover!” Matty exclaimed equally as loud.
She heard busy and happy commotion in the back, making out a few congratulatory remarks from the guys and the touring crew. Blush crept onto her cheeks, trying to squeeze a ‘thank you’ through to them between Matty and his continued rambles.
“I’m just so fucking proud, baby. Every time I get to read the newest thing you write it somehow tops the last—I don’t know how you do it. Actually, it’s quite annoying. Seems too effortless. It’s about time they print your name all big!” he endlessly complimented.
“I love you so much.” Este shortly said.
He could hear the grin in her voice. “Can’t be that much if I love you more,” Matty argued, “Sorry that was a bit cringe. Hann is rolling his eyes. You’re in love too, bro! Don’t act like I’m weird for it!”
“Her name’s Este Manansala, by the way. M-A-N-A-N-S-A-L-A,” Matty spelt out her surname to make sure they got it correctly, “She writes on books and literature, so it was an article about Yellowface by R.F. Kuang, a new novel out. A really, really thought-provoking conversation about white vs. minority authors—the nuances of being an author of colour. From a great perspective, too, since she’s Filipino and a woman and an immigrant. You should go read it,”
He stared down the camera lens to the hypothetical viewers, as if he could say it straight to them.
“But hell, check out all of her past stuff as well. Genuinely the most humble and intelligent human I’ve ever known. Plus I’ve written pretty much every love song of mine since like 2019 about her, so if you like my music then you have her to thank as well. Anyway—I’ve just overtaken this interview to talk about my girlfriend—sorry, mate.” apologised Matty, though he wasn’t all that apologetic.
“Don’t be sorry! I love it. She sounds incredible,” The interviewer beamed, matching his energy and feeling the admiration Matty had for her through the air.
“She is.” He smiled wide.
“If she really is the rockstar like you described, I feel like I can say that you’re her groupie.”
They belly-laughed together. Matty pictured Este’s smug expression and the way she’d definitely use that line to tease him in the future.
“Oh—I’m telling her you just said that. She’ll love it. Because you 100% can.”
