Abt that moira lw Sloan 3 way
Do you think they would actually be good parents? If so how do you think it would go?
It's ok if you don't want to answer :]
If we disregard how much of an issue it would be for at least 2 of them (Lifeweaver constantly being on the run and Moira working for a criminal organization) I think its a bit of a mixed bag
Niran would be a great dad. He'd be a very gentle and patient parent, but knows when to be stern and when/how to punish. He would do everything in his power to make sure his kid succeeds in life and trusts him to tell him anything. He's certainly not actively looking to have a kid, but if for any reason he did, he would do his best to be a good parent and I think he would succeed. I think he would be somewhat strict? But wouldn't enforce rules too harshly, he probably just worries a lot.
Sloan.. well.. they would definitely be a good parent, yes. But they are A LOT more lax than Niran. As long as the kid is having fun, then thats enough for Sloan for sure. I'm sure as the kid gets older Sloan lets them break the rules a lot, go out when they arent supposed to, get that piercing Niran thinks the kid is going to regret, that sort of thing. Gets very competitive regarding whatever after school activity the kid does. Teaches them how to use power tools. Teaches them a lot of practical stuff probably. 100% the fun parent.
Moira.. would be a somewhat absent parent. She really doesn't want children. Not to say she would completely neglect the child, because I think despite her aversion to children she subconsciously has very strong motherly tendencies, especially when the kid is very young and can't really fend for itself, I can totally see her having cute quiet moments with them. She's also the only one out of the three that can actually cook, so she for sure is the one making sure the child is getting properly fed. But when it comes to the emotional side of parenting, Niran and Sloan do the heavy lifting. The kid would definitely go to those two regarding any issues before going to Moira. But she loves to teach, would probably enjoy helping them with their homework, probably strict on them getting good grades and going to a good college.

As tragic as it is to see He Tian battle so hard to get out of what his family has decided for him, I’m gonna be screaming into the night about how sweet it is to see the other three be dead set on not leaving him behind.
Jumbled thoughts incoming
And like, it makes total sense at this point. Mo has been looking for He Tian like a compass seeking North whenever he’s not on sight and ZhengYi are Loyalty Personified but I love that all three not only wait for him, but take an active role to go and look after him. (And it’s Mo leading the operation!! And He Tian sees it!! And that he’s touched by it!!) They could consider he’s with his family and to not intervene, ZhengYi could be leaving together but nope, they were four when they arrived, they’ll be four when they leave. Which also makes me wonder if Jian Yi already has an idea of what could be going on, he’s already got kidnapped, is somewhat aware of his family’s endeavors and how they’re tied to He Tian’s. 
We’ve often seen both He Tian and Jian Yi being alone, pensive, surely burdened by what their future could entail. So far, we’ve had a better view into He Tian’s mind and where the antagonists want him but not a clue (unless I forgot them) as to what happens to TianShan during high school or when they’ll meet again precisely. Narratively, it would make sense for He Tian to leave now that they’ve made their bond official through the piercing but ya know, let me hope that they still have cute moments together before the big sad hits.
Almost on the contrary, the timeline for Jian Yi is set in stones but the motives and the amount of knowledge Jian Yi has about his fate at that point are a bit more blurry and more complex? (Like it would appear his mom and his grandpa have contradictory goals, maybe neither he nor his mom know what'll happen because why would he even enroll in high school?) And it might be wishful thinking but I badly hope pushing ZhengYi into comic relief has a purpose for the story more than just being a way for them to be included during the TianShan focused arc. Maybe Jian Yi is in a phase where he’s hiding his own anxieties and fears behind a facade of naivety and cheerfulness? All things that could return to hit him in the face when he sees He Tian can’t escape no matter how much he tries. 
To return to him, I have no idea whether we’ll still see what happens to He Tian once he’s separated from the rest but there’s a possibility we’ll have parallel storylines, him alone on one side, the other three on the other, and part of me would love to see that and learn more about his family dynamic but there’s also the possibility that he’ll just vanish for us readers, just like he’ll vanish from Mo’s point of view.
No clue how it’ll unroll because let’s be honest, TianShan is what caught a lot of the more recent readers and if we’re a little cynical, maybe the author doesn’t want to just cut them up completely for a very long number of chapters. I could totally see visual parallels of them alone in their respective rooms, we don't even know if they'll go completely no contact for years but if they do, it'd be harsh to just... not see He Tian anymore. Though Old Xian has very very often decided to not show us everything, so I wouldn't rule that option out completely.
Either way we’ll get long chapters of sad lonely Mo??? Thinking he was abandoned soon after coming to terms with his feelings??? Who still decides to keep the piercing and the guitar and to keep working hard????? So no matter what I’m getting my heartstrings played with but if we could have a little insight into the He family as a compensation and heavenly sent ZhengYi development, I wouldn’t mind it.

Beautiful Sinner
Tumblr media
Chapter 1: Why? Previous Parts: Prologue 1/2 , Prologue 2/2
Next Part: not here yet! Word Count: 3,426 Main Pairing: Toko Fukawa x gen!neutral reader Summary: Things seem to get more and more strange Author note: I meant to post this a day after I posted this chapter on ao3 but I forgot...hahaha SORRY. also happy late new year againn
Tumblr media
The words echoed in your head like an empty room.
“You must kill someone if you want to leave” …..You couldn’t talk. There was nothing that needed to be said. In fact, there was nothing said for a few minutes, the only thing that spoke were everyone’s eyes. Just looking into them, you could almost hear “…Are they going to try to kill me?”
The air felt so heavy, so thick you could cut it with a knife. But as thick as the air felt… a sharp voice was able to pierce right through it. It belonged to that lavender haired girl…Kyoko.
“So? What are you going to do now? Just stand around glaring at each other?”
Her pointed comment was directed at everyone in the room. It seemingly helped everyone pull them back into reality.
Taka perked up at this. “R-Right... She's right!... Sometimes, even if you're nervous or afraid, you just have to step forward!” He said confidently, though It looked like he was about to cry. “To forget such a simple fact... I can't forgive myself. I'm so ashamed! Please, someone hit me! I can't forgive myself! Somebody hit me! Punish me!”
Mondo grunts in response. “Jesus. If you have time to yell about it, you have time to DO something about it.”
“Perhaps, but...what is the mission, exactly?” Hifumi whimpers. “Idiot! To look for a way out, duh!” Leon responded.
“And we totally need to find out whoever was controlling that stupid bear and beat the hell out of 'em.” Junko angrily stated.
“...B-But before we do all that, maybe we should look at the handbook... It's probably best to check out the school regulations Monokuma mentioned before doing anything else.” Chihiro said. She was right about that…Mondo was almost killed a few minutes ago because he unknowingly broke one of the rules.
“Ah…that’s right… we should probably take a look at that now…I don’t want to get blown up.” You said as you glanced over at Mondo.
Junko sighed in response. “Fine. Then let's hurry up and check out the stupid rules already.”
You turned on your e-Handbook, the first thing that appeared was your name. From the main menu that popped up, you selected the School Regulations icon. An itemized list appears on-screen, it was the rules being imposed on us.
Students may reside only within the school. Leaving campus is an unacceptable use of time.
"Nighttime" is from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Some areas are off-limits at night, so please exercise caution.
Sleeping anywhere other than the dormitory will be seen as sleeping in class and punished accordingly.
With minimal restrictions, you are free to explore Hope's Peak Academy at your discretion.
Violence against Headmaster Monokuma is strictly prohibited, as is destruction of surveillance cameras.
Anyone who kills a fellow student and becomes "blackened" will graduate unless they are discovered.
Additional school regulations may be added as necessary.
You were starting to feel nervous again, you lifted your head from the screen and saw the same stormy expression on the other’s faces…including Makoto.
“This… this is…I don’t…what….” You started to stutter. You just couldn’t seem to gather your words right now. Your words were interrupted by a piercing yell coming from Mondo. “This is bullshit! What the hell kinda rules are these!? I'm not gonna let them control ME!”
Celeste giggled into her hand. “Well then, why don't you wander around the school without a care in the world and see what happens? Personally, I would love to see what happens when someone breaks one of the rules.”
“But if he got punished like what we saw before, I don't think there'd be a respawn waiting for him...” Hifumi nervously said. Mondo was silent for a few seconds.
“…..”
“I... Ever since I was a kid, I grew up with my older brother pounding this into my head... When a man makes a promise, he has to keep it, even if it kills him.”
“…So what?” Junko crosses her arms. “I've made a ton of promises that I still have to keep, that's "so what"! Mondo clenches his fist in anger. “So I can't afford to die in here!”
Celeste toys with hair as she looks away from him, looking uninterested. “None of that made much sense to me, but you are saying you will follow the regulations, is that it?” Mondo looks stunned for a second before scratching the back of his head slightly embarrassed. “Huh? Oh, well...yeah, I guess you're right.”
“Hey, um...I have a question. For regulation number six...what do you think it means exactly?” Sayaka softly spoke up. That rule she was referring to was… “Anyone who kills a fellow student and becomes "blackened" will graduate unless they are discovered.”
“You're talking about the second half, right? Where it says, "unless they are discovered"? I was wondering about that myself.” Makoto said. “I was wondering about that one too…what do you think it means?” You followed up.
Byakuya answered for us. “It's saying that if you want to graduate, you have to kill someone without anyone finding out it was you.” Toko shivered. “B-But why...? Why do we h-have to do that?”
“I don't see any reason to worry about it. Just worry about following the rules as they've been explained to us.” He crosses his arms. “Frankly, I don't want to hear anything from someone who waits for others to decide what to do for them.”
“D-Don't jab at me...” She responds while blushing lightly. You couldn’t tell if she was happy or upset over that comment.
Aoi confidently clenches her fists. “Now that we know the rules, let's start exploring the school!”
Ex…exploring?..... right now?..to be honest you were too shaken up STILL about everything that just happened. You don’t understand how this can fuel anyone to do anything. That and… you were worried about exploring this massive school possibly alone knowing that there could be someone lurking… just waiting to kill you. You weren’t gonna go down without a fight for sure but…its still horrifying to think about.
Both Leo and Taka agreed. “True. We need to find out where exactly we are. Is there any way out? What about food and supplies? There are tons of questions we need to answer!”
“Damn straight! Okay, then let's all start looking around!” Leon replied
“...I'll be going alone.” Byakuya states flatly. “What!? Why? That's a pretty stupid idea, don't you think?” Junko criticizes him.
“Someone here might already have started thinking about murdering one of us. Are you saying we should stand around with them in our midst and make it that much easier for them?”
“W-Wait, hold on a second. That would never—!”
Byakuya cuts off Sayaka almost immediately, following with a stern, serious expression painted on his face. “Don't bother saying it couldn't happen. You can't deny the possibility. That's why you all seized up with fear when that graduation rule was made clear to you.” He cockily smiles. “Am I wrong?”
“B-But......”
“So, I'm simply acting in accordance with what I think is best for me.” You scoffed in annoyance. What’s this guy’s problem.
Before you could comment on his responses to Sayaka, Mondo steps in very heated. “Hold on! Like hell I'm gonna let you run off and do whatever you want!”
“Out of my way, plankton.”
“Wh--!? The fuck's that supposed to mean!?”
“One tiny bit of plankton, drifting across the sea. So minuscule, so insignificant, they couldn't possibly have any kind of influence on the boundless ocean.” This severely angered Mondo. Somebody was definitely about to get beaten up.. “I'm gonna kick your ass!”
“S-Stop it! We shouldn't fight!” Makoto spoke up. However, this was a bad move on his end.
Mondo turned to look at him, his anger still boiling inside him. “The fuck you just say? You some kinda goody-goody little bitch?” You stepped in front of Makoto. “H-Hold on Mondo! Relax!” You attempted to de-escalate the situation. Instead Mondo shoved you on the ground away from Makoto, you landed on your arm. “Get outta my way!”
“Ugh!—" A groan escaped your mouth. Before Makoto could acknowledge you, Mondo was already getting closer to him. His face was red hot and his hand was clenched so hard you could see his fist turning white. “Who do you think you are, talkin' to me like that? You think you're my fuckin' dad or something!?”
“N-No, I wasn't--!”
“Fuck you!”
*WHAM*
Makoto’s body fell straight onto the ground. It was like something straight out of a comic book, Mondo punched Makoto so fast you bet he didn’t even see it coming. One second he was standing there perfectly conscious the next second you saw him unconscious on the ground.
“MAKOTO!” Both you and Sayaka screamed.
Everyone else was in shock for a moment before ultimately rushing coming to check on him…by everyone else you mean everyone besides Byakuya, Kyoko, Celeste, Toko and.. Mondo. You rushed by his side and started to shake Makoto somewhat gently. “Makoto?! Are you okay?”
“Ah! Y/N d-don’t shake him!” Sayaka stuttered out as she kneeled next to you. “Oh my! This is becoming quite interesting.” Celeste giggled into her hand in amusement.
“O-Oh no! Makoto! can you hear me?!” Taka frantically yelled.
“Wh-wh-what just happened?!” Yasuhiro yelled.
Junko annoyingly scoffed. “Weren’t you paying any attention? Mondo just punched him! We haven’t even left the gym yet we’re like already messing up!”
“Get off my ass I didn’t punch him THAT hard.” Mondo was still visibly angry but was slowly calming himself down. He glanced over at Makoto a few times, showing no other visible reaction to him.
Now it was your turn to get angry. “What do you mean not that hard? He’s not moving!”
“It’s not my fault he’s a weak little punk!” He responds defensively.
“D-do you think h-he’s dead...?” Toko stuttered. Before you could respond Kyoko came near Makoto and placed her index and long finger gently on his carotid artery, checking for a pulse. Luckily, he was in fact not dead.
“No. He’s alive, just unconscious.” She stated plainly. You let out a sigh of relief. “Ohh.. thank god..” Sayaka was put at ease as well. “Thank goodness….”
Hifumi anxiously glances at Makoto. “So.. uh… what do we do about him now that we know he’s—” right before he could finish his sentence, Monokuma popped up without any warning.
“Phuhuhu!~”
“Kyaaaaah!” Toko screamed.
 “That was so fun to watch! You guys haven’t even made it to your dorms, yet you’ve already started to slaughter each other!” He laughed into his paws maniacally.
“Slaughter?! He’s not dead!... why are you even here?!” You yell at him. “That’s how it always starts! Sooner or later, you’ll be towering over his dead, soulless body. As the innocent or.. who knows! Maybe the murderer! Those tools you have are pretttyyy sharp and pointy! Can those scissors cut skin?” He teases.
“For the last time these tools are for HAIR—!”
“Anywho… I’d love to keep tormenting my lovely students but!...” He waddles over to Makoto. “I’ll have to steal your little friend here!” You and Sayaka protectively grab Makoto’s shoulders, pulling him towards you both. “No! You’re not taking him anywhere!”
“Y-yeah!...” She agrees. “Now now kids! Not too aggressive! Remember, you can’t touch me otherwiseeee…. You’ll be DEAD!” He shouted towards the end of his sentence. “Besides, I’m not going to kill him. That’s your guy’s job. I’m just going to safely put him in his own dorm, so when he wakes up, he can join you. Can’t have you guys be focused on him when there’s much more interesting things for you guys to explore!”
“But…how can we?!—” Kyoko cut you off. “Step away from him, Y/N. You too Sayaka.” Her stern voice made you both flinch. Sayaka nervously looked at Kyoko. “B-but…”
“Now, both of you move.” Sakura sternly said.
“………….”
“…………”
You both hesitantly moved away from Makoto’s unconscious body, allowing Monokuma to come back and carry him. He crawled under his back and lifted him up slowly, it looked like he was struggling as his arms were trembling, but he still somehow kept his composure with that same creepy smile. “Ah.. you worried I’m going to hurt your little boyfriend? *huff*.. don’t worry, I would never hurt my students!...for no reason that is.” And with that Monokuma ‘carried’ him out of the gym and to his assigned dorm.
You continued to sit there kneeling on the floor as you stared at double doors, slowly closing. Leaving everyone in a state of silence for a few moments. That is until that one individual spoke up again.
“Anywho… I’ll be leaving. Try not to get yourselves killed.” Byakuya stated flatly before beginning to walk towards the double doors. “W-Wait you’re still leaving?... even after what you just caused?!” Aoi called out. “I haven’t done anything. That idiot has only himself to blame.”
“You—!” You angrily get up from the floor, Sayaka watches you hesitantly as she got up alongside you, putting a hand on your shoulder to lightly reassure you. “This is your fault! What do you get out of provoking people huh?!” He spares you no glance, not even an acknowledgement of your existence. It’s like you don’t exist to him.
“Goodbye.” He says before finally leaving. Another person leaving your group. “...ugh..”
Sayaka rubs your shoulder gently. “hey... are you okay?”
“…..Uh.. yeah I’m fine… I think.” You responded while you stared at the doors. She took notice of this. “Don’t worry about Makoto, I’m sure he’s gonna be okay..!” Aoi some-what confidently states.
“But—! What about Monokuma?” You stammered. “If Monokuma’s intention was to hurt him, he would’ve done so already. Not only that, but we’d already be dead.” Kyoko said.
She was right but… this didn’t stop you from worrying about him. Especially considering the situation you were in now. “Yeah… yeah she’s right!” Taka perked up. “We’re still alive and well so that should mean something!”
“Yeah m-maybe for now…t-there’s no telling what that bear is doing to that idiot… probably ripping out his t-teeth or stitching h-his mouth shut s-so he won’t talk a-again…” Toko said. This caused most of the group to be repulsed of the thought. This didn’t help your worries, in fact that made it worse.
Sayaka’s face turned white. “D-don’t say that! That’s horrible!” Junko nodded in agreement. “Right, what the hell Toko? Are you trying to freak them out again?” Junko herself seemed a little disgusted as well.
“ u-um so… are we still going to look around the school…?” Chihiro asked while nervously fidgeting with her fingers.
Oh right… we were supposed to be exploring by now. Instead, everyone including you got sidetracked with the whole Makoto situation...
“Oh yeah that’s right! We were supposed to be looking around.” Yasuhiro stated, rubbing his head. “So…is the looking around the school together off the table or…?”
“I believe it would be wise to investigate separately, we can find our own clues I suppose. Perhaps Byakuya’s idea wasn’t too bad, yes?” Celeste questioned. Unfortunately…. she was right. Exploring in one big group would’ve most likely declined your chances of finding clues to escape. Though, you felt nervous even thinking out doing it alone.
“Okay! Then it’s settled! We will investigate alone!” Aoi confidently said.
Before anyone else could respond, Toko quickly spoke. “W-wait what?! B-but that’s practically s-suicide! Are you t-trying to get me k-killed?!” Toko whined.
“Alright alright! Then… go explore with Y/N! I’m sure they don’t mind.” Aoi replied.
You and Toko exchanged looks. Her eyes then followed from yours to your waist apron, her face immediately contorted into a look of disgust. “….N-No…!”
You just continued to stand there in silence, unsure how to respond. “……” What was her problem with you?
Junko groaned. “Then what do you want?! You’re making this much more difficult than it needs to be, girl!”
“….um…maybe we should rethink investigating alone then…?” You stated. “How about we look around in groups instead? Probably groups of four.” Sayaka nodded in agreement, clasping her hands together. “Oh! I like that idea! How does that sound, everyone?”
Most of the group looked at each other momentarily before silently nodding in agreement.
 “I can roll with that.” Yasuhiro crossed his arms smiling.
 “Eh…alright.” Leon shrugs.
“W-were changing the plan that fast?! Just like that?!” Hifumi stuttered.
“Actually...I want to investigate alone.” Taka said. Aoi tilted her head in confusion. “Huh? Are you sure?” He proudly put his hands on his hips.
“Yes! We shall meet again to talk about what we found elsewhere.” He states confidently as he puts his hands on his hips. Another one who wants to search alone huh?
Aoi shrugs. “Okay, suit yourself.”
“So, about those groups uh…. Who is—”
“I’ll pick them!” Taka cut Hifumi off, leaving him a little defeated. “Hmm let’s see… how about Yasuhiro, Leon, Junko and Chihiro?”
“O..okay!” Chihiro happily stated.
“Cool! I can deal with that!” Yasuhiro states.
“Fine with me.” Junko shrugs.
“Fantastic!” He places his hand on his chin. “Hm...let’s see… how about Kyoko—”
“I’m investigating alone.” Kyoko spoke up sternly. Taka looked a little surprised. “O-oh? You too?” She silently nods. “If you say so then…” He looks around at the other group of students. “Okay, since Kyoko is investigating alone... let’s do Sakura, Aoi and Mondo!”
You? In a group with Mondo?
Mondo scoffs. “Whatever, sure. Let’s just get this shit over with.
Aoi confidently pops her jacket collar. “Got it! I’ll do my best!”
Sakura only silently hums in agreement.
“So that leaves me, Y/n, Celeste, Hifumi and Toko...!” Sayaka wrapped her arm around yours. “Hey y/n, would you like to investigate with me?” She gives you that same warm smile she gave Makoto. “Just until Makoto comes back…?”
“Ah…well…”
“I-If you want to of course!...I don’t want to pressure you.” You chuckle dryly, giving her a smile back. “It’s okay, Sayaka. I’ll go with you.” She lets out a sigh of relief. “whew..okay, good!”
Taka happily extends his arms up. “Perfect! All who is left is Celeste, Hifumi, and Toko! How convenient, you guys can be a group!” Toko gives Taka an irritated stare. “W-what am I?!..Left overs?” Celeste glances over at Hifumi, then to Toko. Her expressions weren’t the most readable like the others, but you could tell she wasn’t thrilled about this group choice. “Ah… actually, I—”
“So… are we ready to go investigate?”  Yasuhiro cuts her off unintentionally. “Actually, I’d rather—"
She gets cut off again. “It seems so! Okay everyone, we will meet up later to talk about what we have found! Let’s go!” Taka proudly states. “But please, watch your step!” Hifumi looks over at Celeste, who held an unreadable expression. “Uh…are you okay miss Ludenburg?” She turns her head to face him, her face held a blank stare while she held her pale hands together. “Yes, perfect.”
He nervously chuckled. “O-okay, if you say so.”
She was not perfect, not even close.
“Are you ready to go, y/n? What should we explore first..?” Sayaka asks you. “How about the dorms? I want to see what they look like since it seems like were going to be here for awhile..”
“Aww.. you really miss Makoto, hmm?” She teases. You put your hands up defensively. “Wha-? No. I mean, yes I am worried about him but I wanted to check out the dorms from the-“ You could hear her giggling into her hand at your reaction. “I’m just joking. Let’s go!” She drags your arm towards the exit and you both made your way through the hallways towards the dorms, the others soon followed behind to begin their own investigation. You don’t know what the future will hold, hell you don’t know if you’ll even survive the first night. Will this investigation even be worth it? If there was a way to escape…surely it would’ve been patched by Monokuma? It makes you nervous. But right now, you’re willing to do what it takes to figure out a way to leave Hope’s Peak Academy that doesn’t involve taking a person’s life.

Totally Pucked
Summary:
HOCKEY AU
Mikasa Ackerman hates her annoying neighbor, Eren Jaeger. He is loud, he is annoying, and worst of all, he doesn't remember her from their childhood. But that's fine, she has enough things to deal with like why the real reason she quit dance and her cousin/adopted brother's return to hockey as Eren's coach.
Eren Jaeger knows exactly who lives across the hall from him, even if she doesn't. It doesn't matter though. It would be breaking one of his rules to hook up with her anyway. So he continues to shove her away.
But as fate would have it, these two keep getting thrown together, whether they like it or not.
RATING: MATURE
Ships: Eren/Mikasa, Armin/Annie, Levi/Hange, Gabi/Falco, Jean/Pieck
NOTES:  I have no idea what this is. Do not ask me. I've read too many hockey romance novels and this the result. We're going to pretend that Marley and Paradis are somewhere in the midwest of America (because that's what I'm from). Everything I know about hockey is from google and romance books so sorry if anything is wrong.
COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER: Any recognizable elements belong to Attack on Titan
CHAPTER ONE:  And they were neighbors
“And breathe in. 1-2-3. Then release.”
Mikasa listened to her guide meditation. 
Then the banging on the wall started. 
Ignore it, she told herself.
“Another deep breath.”
“YES!” A woman in her neighbor’s apartment cried. 
Mikasa tried to ignore it.
She tried.
It was seven am in the morning. Didn’t he have practice tonight?
And could the Reiss family not afford to make these walls a little thicker? 
Mikasa pinched the bridge of her nose. 
She was acting like Levi. 
Historia had told her about this place, promising a good price since her father owned the building. 
What Historia had left out was the jackass who lived across the hall.
Eren fucking Jaeger. 
He was loud.
He was obnoxious.  
Mikasa had known him previously. They had gone to school together before he moved. He had been her first kiss and her very best friend.
But that was all forgotten. It was almost eighteen years ago. She didn’t expect him to remember. In fact, they didn’t say much to one another. Even though she wanted to tell him that the walls were thin and the women he brought home were far too loud. She wanted to tell him that if she got woken up by his parties one more time when she had dance rehearsal in the morning, she was going to dump sugar in his gas tank.
But she couldn’t do any of that.
Why?
Because Eren Jaeger was the Center and star player of the Shiganshina Scouts who Levi was currently coaching. That meant Levi would somehow get involved, the last thing that Mikasa wanted.
She wanted to do everything on her own. 
Besides, she had caused enough problems for Levi lately.
She could have told Historia but Historia was already trying to cover Mikasa’s ass from what had happened to cause her to completely quit dancing.
No one knew why the principal dancer of the Karifa Dance Theatre, the most popular dance theatre in the midwest, would just up and quit. Why would Mikasa also stop teaching classes and then just disappear off the face of the planet? 
“And breathe in,” the voice said again.
But it was the moans from next door that caught Mikasa’s attention.
This was it.
She was done with it. Walking over to the wall, Mikasa pounded on it as loud as she possibly could.
In response, the woman next door only got louder.
“Fucking Jaeger,” Mikasa muttered under her breath. 
Swapping over to her playlist on spotify, Pierce the Veil filled the apartment, drowning out the noise from next door. 
—-------------
Eren had only a few rules for hooking up.
Never give them your phone number. They’ll sell that on the internet.
No photos.
No repeats.
Absolutely under no circumstances hook up with anyone related to the team.
Always use protection and make sure they don’t know where you throw it away. 
Those rules were simple and how he successfully handled his shit.
He had a legacy to live up to after all.
Eren Jaeger.
Son of hockey legend Grisha Jaeger and brother to hockey legend Zeke Jaeger.
The Jaeger Dynasty is what they called it. It didn’t hurt that his half brother played for their biggest rivals. It was always a bloodbath when they played against each other. Now with Levi coaching, it would be worse. Zeke and Levi also had a rivalry. They had played for opposing teams in college. Levi was a monster on the ice,a legend. Levi Ackerman was an idol of Eren’s, much to Zeke’s chagrin. When it was reported that Levi was in a car accident and it wasn’t looking good, Eren had cried.
But now after years of physical therapy, Levi was returning the ice.
As a coach, his coach.
As soon as Levi was announced as their new coach taking over for Dot Pixis, Eren threw up. 
“You fucks better skate better,” Levi told them. 
He didn’t yell.
He didn’t scream.
He just gave them this look that terrified the shit out of everyone.
“What kind of pass was that, Kirstein? I’ve lost two fingers and can do better than that! My cousin would out play all of you!” Levi called the forward.
Jean grunted as he skated away. 
Levi’s cousin was Mikasa Ackerman, Eren’s first kiss and the woman across the hall.
She was also now off limits.
So Eren found other women to occupy his time. 
Because rule number four said that you don’t hook up with anyone related to the team.
The blonde he had in his room was pretty nice this morning. Her name was Sharon or maybe it was Shelly. 
Fuck. 
He didn’t remember.
There was a different blonde waiting for him, leaning up against his suv after practice. 
“Oh no,” Eren groaned upon seeing Historia. 
“Oh no is right. Do you know you’re a PR nightmare right now?” Historia didn’t look up from her phone as she continued to scroll. “Hockey Star Eren Jaeger was seen smoking weed and leaving with a random blonde last night. The Bad Boy is leaving a trail of hearts behind him. Bad Boy Eren Jaeger dukes it out with football player Boris Feulner in a club in downtown Shiganshina club.”
“Okay, I get it. You didn’t have to take me on as a client,” Eren muttered under his breath. 
“Oh no, I did. Because your brother is my cousin which makes you family. You know I do PR for other people as well? Not just you. And you are a pain in my ass right now. I have other clients who need my help more than you.” 
“Then go bother them,” Eren unlocked his suv. 
“No, because you are an actual problem. Look, chill out. Find a girlfriend. Find a PR girlfriend for all I care or become a monk! The season will be starting soon, then no one will care about you. It’ll all be about the team,” Historia commanded. “And stop being mean to Mikasa.” 
“Oh so that’s what this really is about,” Eren scoffed.
“No, it’s not. She doesn’t even mention your existence to me. I just know you’re an asshole who likes to be loud and play his music far too loud. She’s my friend, afterall.”
“I’m nice to her,” Eren muttered as he opened the door and threw his bag into the backseat. 
Historia raised an eyebrow, “whatever. Just…go. And stop making life hard for me!”
—---------
“Well Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a hell of a game tonight. Zeke Jaeger vs Eren Jaeger. It’s also the first game of Coach Levi Ackerman taking over the Shingashina Scouts! Can you believe it? Just a few years ago, it was a showdown of rivals Zeke and Levi. Now Zeke is facing Levi as a coach!”
“That’s right, Shadis! In case you didn’t know, the commentators for tonight are me, Theo Magath and my co host,  Keith Shadis. We’re coming to you live from Maria Coliseum in Shingashina! Tonight's matchup is the Marley Warriors vs the Shingashina Scouts. Let me tell you, it’s going to be a bloodbath out there. There’s so many rivaliers at play here. Not to mention two brothers facing off, the youngest coach of the Shingashina Scouts ever. History is going to be made tonight.”
“Have you seen the celebs showing up for this tonight? Of course, we have hockey legend Grisha Jaeger here along with his wife, Carla Jaeger. Looks like Grisha is wearing a Scouts jersey and his wife is wearing Warriors,” Shadis said. 
“That’s so interesting to me. Carla isn’t even Zeke’s biological mom. Though from what I’ve heard, the woman has been a huge supporter of Zeke since he lost his mom,” Magath announced.
“That she has. We also have model Frieda Reiss here. She’s Zeke’s cousin and rumored to be dating someone on the Warriors yet she’s wearing a Scouts jersey to support her own team.”
“Those are just rumors. Frieda and the Reiss family have been huge Scout fans. Not to mention a sponsor.”
“That they have.”
“The most surprising face in the crowd tonight is Mikasa Ackerman!” 
“That’s not surprising to me, Magath. Mikasa was instrumental to Levi’s recovery from that nasty car accident. It’s Levi’s return. It’s his first game since the accident. There is absolutely nothing that would stop her from being her. He is, afterall, her adopted brother. There’s only four years between the two of them. Not to mention, she used to play hockey after all. Many were confused when she didn’t go on to play in college. I’ve seen videos of her skating and I have to say, I think the girl may still have it.”
“Can you imagine if Levi was still playing and he and Mikasa were on the same team?”
“The Warriors would have zero chance then.”
—--
“WOO!! That’s right!” Sasha yelled in the box as the Scouts scored a goal. 
Mikasa shook her head as she took a drink of her beer. “You have far too much fun at these,” Mikasa laughed. 
“Only because Jean and Connie are out there. Do you miss the ice?” Sasha asked as she sat down next to Mikasa. 
“Not really, especially living across the hall from Eren,” Mikasa rolled her eyes.
It was lucky that it was just the two of them in the suite. Hange would have been there but they had another lecture to give. Mikasa didn’t know what the status of that relationship was. She didn’t want to. There was an unspoken rule that neither Levi nor Mikasa talked about their sex lives or relationships. In fact, they both liked to pretend that neither of them had sex even if they had walked in on one another. It was bound to happen when they shared a townhouse once Mikasa had entered college. 
Now that they were 27 and 31, respectfully, they still pretended. 
“GOAL! From Kirstein!” Shadis announced and Mikasa was pulled from her thoughts. 
“YEAH! THAT’S MY BOY!” Sasha yelled. 
Mikasa took a drink as she shook her head. Some people thought Sasha was hooking up with Jean or Connie. That couldn’t be further from the truth. The three of them had been friends since high school. 
Mikasa had one rule about her hookups: no hockey players. Though there hadn’t been many. There had been one guy in college that Mikasa didn’t like to remember and a few one night stands she’d rather not remember since then. 
Mikasa sighed, not really paying attention to the game. It was a bad idea coming here. It brought up so many memories. 
Everyone wanted to know why she quit and moved back here. 
Everyone could go fuck themselves. 
It was none of their business.
The game continued on with Mikasa not really paying attention until the end. 
It ended with the Scouts winning. 
At least Levi would be in a good mood when she saw him. 
—-------------------
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
Levi looked up from his desk to see his cousin leaning the doorway. 
“Great game,” Mikasa smiled.
“That goal should have never gotten through,” Levi muttered as he stood from his chair.
“Yeah, yeah. Springer should have gotten it away from one of the Galliards but it happens.”
“If you would have been out, they wouldn’t have gotten close to the goal at all.” 
“They don’t allow women in men’s hockey, you know,” Mikasa rolled her eyes.
“The league should reconsider that,” Levi remarked.
Mikasa shook her head. 
“How has it been?” Levi asked as he walked towards her. 
“I’m not…it got rough during the game. I just thought about dad a lot. Then mom. And then what that asshole said and my thoughts started spiraling…”Mikasa trailed off.  She held back tears.
“That’s why you took this time off,” Levi reminded her. 
“Hey Coach, we’re….” Armin trailed off. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt.”
Mikasa took a deep breath.
“This is my cousin, Arlert, Mikasa. Mikasa, Arlert,” Levi introduced them. 
“Hi,” Mikasa nodded. 
“Hi, are you coming to Zeke’s with us?” Armin smiled.
“I…um…”Mikasa looked towards Levi.
“She is. I have to go grab Hange and I’ll meet you there,” Levi remarked as he pulled his coat on. “Arlert, can you take her?” 
“Oh. I don’t want to be any trouble,” Mikasa looked down. 
“No trouble at all. Eren’s suv is huge,” Armin assured.
“Sasha is riding with them,” Levi added. 
“Oh! You’re friends with Sasha! Then you have to come,” Armin grinned. 
“Okay,” Mikasa nodded.
“I’ll see you there then,” Levi added as he started to walk out of the office, the two of them following him. He watched them walk out. 
He trusted his team with her and Mikasa couldn’t spend her life hiding in her apartment, no matter what she thought. He locked his office and made his way to the parking lot.
—-----------------
Jean, Connie, Eren, and Sasha were waiting for Armin and Mikasa by a Cadillac Escalade. 
“Are you sure there’s enough room for me?” Mikasa asked Armin.
“Of course! Eren’s car seats seven. You can have the front seat,” Armin offered. 
Sasha grinned as Mikasa walked up. “I’m so happy you decided to come!”
“Ackerman,” Eren greeted Mikasa. His hair was still wet from the shower.
“Jaeger,” Mikasa replied.
“Hey, Mikasa,” Jean greeted her. 
“We haven’t seen you in forever!” Connie added. 
“Yeah, sorry. I’ve just been…” Mikasa looked down. 
“Connie! You’re going to be on my team for beer pong, right?” Sasha jumped in.
Mikasa was so thankful for Sasha. Though Sasha didn’t know the exact details about what had happened to cause Mikasa to quit dancing, Sasha knew enough. 
Sasha knew that a man had made a remark about Levi that had greatly upset Mikasa to the point that Mikasa punched the man. Historia had made the whole thing disappear, PR wise and legally. 
“I told Mikasa she could sit up front,” Armin informed Eren. 
“Just waiting on the Rookie now,” Eren told them as he unlocked the car.
He opened his passenger door for Mikasa and then went and got into the driver’s seat. Sasha, Jean, and Connie piled into the back row while Armin sat behind Mikasa. 
A young man came running out of the rink. 
“Sorry!” he said as he reached the suv and climbed into the seat behind Eren.
Eren shifted the car into drive and drove out of the parking lot.
“Falco, this is Mikasa. Mikasa, this is Falco,” Armin introduced them.
“Hi,” Falco waved to her as she turned around.
“Hi,” Mikasa replied.
“So are you Eren’s girlfriend then?” Falco asked.
Mikasa jumped in her seat, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Eren was gritting his teeth.
“No, I’m not,” Mikasa looked away from Falco.
“Oh. Sorry. It’s just that Armin always sits up front.” 
“Mikasa is Levi’s cousin,” Eren informed them.
“OH!”
Mikasa started fidgeting with her hands before she began picking at her nails.  She bit her lip. 
Music began to play, pulling Mikasa from her thoughts. She immediately recognized the Bring Me the Horizon song. She looked over at Eren, his hands flexed on the steering wheel. She noticed that his phone was now sitting on the hands free clip that was on his vent. She wanted to thank Eren but she had a feeling he would just shrug it off. 
—---------
The ride to Zeke’s was uneventful. 
Eren hadn’t been expecting Mikasa to come at all. 
They hadn’t hung out since they were kids, which she never told him whether she remembered that or not. 
As soon as they arrived, Historia launched herself at Mikasa. 
“I can’t believe you’re here!” Historia quickly whisked Mikasa off into the living room. 
“I can’t believe you all hang out after almost killing each other on the ice,” Mikasa remarked.
“We only hate each other on the ice. Most of us went to either high school or college together,” Zeke explained. “Welcome to my home, Mikasa,” he grinned at her.
“Thank you,” Mikasa replied. “Sorry for just showing up.”
“Think nothing of it. You’re Levi’s sister practically, you’re always welcomed here,” Zeke reassured her.
“I thought you were his cousin,” Connie noted.
“I…my parents died. Levi’s mother took me in,” Mikasa looked down again. 
Historia’s hand slipped into Mikasa’s.
Mikasa’s parents had died? 
Eren had no idea that had happened. Levi had never mentioned it, then again why would he? When did that happen? It had to be after Eren moved away. 
“My mom also died,” Zeke confessed.
The whole reason that Eren, his mom, and his dad had moved so that Zeke wouldn’t have to change schools since Dina had passed. The same age difference between Levi and Mikasa was the age difference between Eren and Zeke. Though most of the time, it didn’t feel like there were four years between Eren and Zeke. 
“Way to bring down the mood, Connie,” Jean rolled his eyes. 
“Be my partner for beer pong?” Historia asked Mikasa.
Mikasa bit her lip before nodding. 
The doorbell rang and Zeke excused himself to answer it.
Gabi, Falco’s girlfriend, arrived with Pieck, a good friend of Zeke’s. It wasn’t long before Zeke’s friend Niccolo arrived along with the rest of the Warrior’s team. Then the last of the Scouts showed up. Hange and Levi were the last to arrive. 
Zeke and Hange ended up very quickly in a debate about something in theoretical physics that Eren did not understand at all.  
Eren found himself watching Mikasa more than he wanted to admit to himself. There was something off about her. It wasn’t just that her parents had died. Sasha and Historia were trying very hard to include her in everything but Eren could see very quickly that she was beginning to get overwhelmed. There was this part of him yelling at him to go save her, help her but he didn’t have a clue how to do it. When she excused herself and went into the kitchen, Eren followed her.
He saw her take a deep breath and close her eyes. Careful not to touch her, Eren went to the fridge and pulled out a beer. 
Mikasa jumped. 
“Sorry,” he said as he held a bottle out to her. “I swear this is good. Zeke drinks the most random shit just because he likes the bottle. This one is good.” 
Mikasa took the bottle from him. 
Eren reached over and twisted the top off of the bottle before grabbing one for himself. 
“Thanks,” Mikasa remarked before she took a drink.
“They can be overwhelming,” Eren noted. 
“It’s okay. I just….” Mikasa trailed off.
“Dealing with some shit?” Eren finished.
Mikasa snorted, “putting it mildly, yes.” 
“The loud rock music from your apartment clued me into that.”
“You don’t want to know what the moaning women have clued me into,” Mikasa snorted again.
“That I’m an excellent lover?” 
Mikasa scoffed. 
“Don’t scoff at that,” Eren grinned before he opened his own beer. 
“Shouldn’t you be out there with everyone?” Mikasa looked down as she took another drink. 
“Eh. I wanted to check on you. You know…because of Levi.” Eren took a drink of his beer and put both beer caps onto the counter. 
“You never check on me next door.” 
“You seem like you don’t want anyone to talk to you.”
It was true. He had thought about talking to her. When he first saw her outside of her apartment, Eren had thought he had won the lottery. She was taller, obviously but her eyes were still that gray he was obsessed with. Her hair was cut into a pixie cut but it was still Mikasa. 
“It’s not that I don’t want anyone to talk to me. It’s just…I don’t want to talk about the shit with my parents or why I quit my job or Levi’s injuries,” Mikasa looked down. 
“Alright, so you're stuck on a desert island..” Eren grinned.
Mikasa looked up and rolled her eyes. “I’d get a boat to get off the island. That’s the worst question ever. I thought you’d come up with something a bit more creative.” 
“Would you go forward in time or back in time?” 
“Forward,” Mikasa answered.
“Really why?” 
“Because I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing and I hope future me has the answers. I just need to get out of this slump,” Mikasa confessed. 
“MIKASA! I need you again!” Historia yelled.
“I should go,” Mikasa left Eren alone in the kitchen. 
He stood there, surprised that she had confessed that much to him. 
—------------------------
It was starting to get late. 
Hange and Levi had already left. 
Mikasa wasn’t sure if she should ask Sasha or Frieda for a ride home.
“I’m heading out,” Eren walked over and told her.
Why was he telling her this? 
“You want a ride home?” he asked.
Oh.
Eren was actually offering her a ride home.
“Um, sure. That would be great,” Mikasa bit her lip. 
Eren nodded. 
“Let me just tell Historia and Sasha,” Mikasa replied.
Eren nodded again. 
She quickly found Sasha and Historia. Historia walked back over to Eren with Mikasa.
“I’m watching you,” Historia told him before walking away.
“What was that about?” Mikasa asked as she followed Eren to the door. 
“She’s my PR. You’ll be happy to know that I’m not allowed to hook up with anyone for a while,” Eren scoffed as he opened the door.
“How horrible for you,” Mikasa rolled her eyes as she walked out the door.
Eren grinned at her as he closed the door behind him. He walked ahead of her, unlocking the suv, and opening the passenger door. He closed the door behind Mikasa once she was in before he climbed into the driver’s seat. He put his phone into the clip on the vent. He hit play and rock music filled the suv as they drove home. 
Mikasa was thankful Eren hadn’t found the need to speak the entire way there. 
Tonight was fun. She had spent the majority of the night playing beer pong or pool with Historia and Sasha. Some of the team had tried to get to know her but Mikasa didn't know what exactly to say. She didn’t want to explain why she had given up hockey because apparently, Levi was bragging about her. She didn’t want to explain that she had gotten into a physical fight with a male dancer. She didn’t want to talk about her parents' death. 
The days off since she had quit just reminded her how much she didn’t even really care about dance. She had just been doing it in her mom’s memory. But she also had no desire to return to hockey. Not that she could, she was too old now unless it was rec league. But she didn’t want to do it.
Now she was just living off of savings. She knew she was lucky for that. 
Eren pulled into the parking garage that was attached to their apartment building. After getting out of the car and locking it, they walked silently to the elevator. 
As soon as the elevator closed, Eren put his key into the elevator, allowing the elevator to take them to the top floor.  
“Why are you being nice to me?” Mikasa asked.
“Honestly, because your cousin scares the shit out of me and I’m not in the mood to get yelled at by him tomorrow. Besides, I am nice,” Eren scoffed.
“Really? Because last time I talked to you, you told me to fuck off and slammed a door in my face,” Mikasa answered.
“Okay, first of all, she was hot. I was in the middle of something…”
“Oh I’m sorry, I don’t want to hear your sex life when I have to be up early the next morning!” 
“Do I complain about hearing all the shit from your apartment? No, I don’t.” 
“You know all that goodwill you built up today is gone. You care about no one but yourself. You don’t care that others don’t want to hear you having sex or being loud or fighting all the fucking time. You only care about yourself.”
“If I don’t, then who will? Huh? You’re like some ballerina in a music box.”
“What is that supposed to mean?” 
“You just exist to be pretty and perform whenever some wills it. There’s no substance to you,” Eren scoffed.
Mikasa reared back like she had been hit. Her hands shook. It took every bit of power not to punch him in the face. 
“Fuck you,” Mikasa gritted out.
“You’re not my type, Ackerman,” he shrugged. 
“You know what? I actually thought you were a person. I actually thought for a moment I could be friends with you that you were….” like I remembered. But the words wouldn’t come out. “But it turns out you’re just an asshole who lives across the hall.”
The elevator doors opened. 
“And don’t you forget it,” Eren answered. He pulled his key out and left the elevator. 
Mikasa scrambled out of the elevator and into her apartment. She threw her keys into the bowl next to the door. Throwing herself onto the couch, she buried her face into a pillow and screamed.
Fuck Eren Jaeger.

i took a nap! and my dream was long (well, not really) and complicated.
soo... dream journal time!
oh shit i dont know how to do the read more on mobile well pretend this has a read more and maybe if we imagine hard enough the tumblr gods will put one here
JK im on desktop later here's a read more
it involved me talking on discord to one of my mutuals ^-^ who i was nervous wanting to Impress. and they said england is hot and i was taken aback (sort of. more complicated than that but whatevs.) but also like u arent wrong. england is overhated these days i would maybe date or sleep with him is all im saying. i was speaking to a few diff mutuals on discord but especially excited/nervous to speak to this one.
blurry for a second.
and then a dog pounced on me. and this little old lady ran a training school i was for some reason in. but it was a Psychological training school meant to strengthen your mind apparently. it was popular in canada so i was excited one opened up down here for some reason. they had one where i used to live in florida so i was happy they had one in my new state, and with dream logic i'd moved 0.2 seconds ago so yknow. and the lady was training a lot of animals especially a dog and this one dog was not well trained so he bit onto my arm, and i stood there in horror for a few seconds, not wanting to move to do minimal damage, until she came and bitched at him for acting up, so he let go. and she was like yeah this is why i run a training school.
and her house was tiny so it was in her backyard. she had me follow her to the back where it looked like a dog park. all dirt and dust and equipment. no grass. i thought it looked nice in the dream altho now that im awake it looked pretty crap. but actually i thought it was nostalgic like playgrounds u go to as a kid. it looked like a dog park. also apparently she hammered in one of the rules for me. i forget what it was exactly but later she specified it was related to "the treadmills."
suddenly it was no longer me but a group of people who were all friend and who i identified as being friends with. but i myself was no longer there. and these people were eager to try out the equipment.
tw body horror for this part
pretty sure this is impossible irl but for one of them, this girl pushed her two friends down onto this sheet of barbed wire, and i guess what's supposed to happen is that it pierces your outer layer of skin, but she pushed way too hard and pierced many layers of skin. what you're supposed to do is pierce a few and pull yourself off. it hurts and builds your pain tolerance. the old lady was like oh shit i fixated so much on explaining how to be careful on the treadmills that i forgot this. and the people on the barbed wire were in pain slowly ripping through each layer of skin to minimize the damage. they accidentally leaned back in Pain so their arms also got attached but just the few outer layers so it only hurt a bit to pull them off. like stinging pin pricks. totally tolerable but still unpleasant.
the girl had been so excited btw she just shoved them down hard and didn't realize it would cause problems. i could feel the pain and fear of these people it was ouchie.
also i was trapped consciously. strapped down. unable to move unless i agonizingly ripped spiky metal through my skin all at once to get away. i have many nightmares abt being trapped lol.
then randomly the mlpfim ponies showed up. and they started triggering my severe emetophobia which i dont even wanna talk abt. it was more hinted at than anything but i was scared being trapped like that. also a common theme in my nightmares.
then fluttershy who felt Ill decided to go upstairs (we were suddenly in a basement but also not really bc the initial house had stairs too and was bigger and fancieron the inside than it seemed. that bitch had an aquarium against the wall. and fancy dark wood.) to make food for the others and herself to feel better. and since this dream was like a movie "i" the consciousness followed her upstairs to watch her. and she prepared something that had marshmallows on top i think.
and then i woke up.
also at some point the people strapped down were jeremy and candance from pnf i think. or timmys mom and dad. my brain smashed a bunch of junk together.

Some headcanons abt the detectives bc I'm bored.
(disclaimer: i have not read the comic and don't intend to so if there are any OG bodies stans that know canon facts which dispute any of these headcanons, I want to note that I am only talking about the show here, not the book)
Karl:
Definitely a bi disaster. He has a preference for women, but he's very aware of his attraction to men as well and doesn't see anything wrong with it.
Secretly has a massive sweet tooth, but it doesn't fit his cool-guy vibe so nobody knows about it
If he could wear fishnets and multiple piercings, he would.
He has never liked reading. It isn't his thing, at all - he's always been a very modern person and movies are just so much better. He avoids paperwork like the plague and every time a case requires a lot of reading he considers giving up and cold-casing it just so he can skip the boring research.
If he was ever transported to 2023, he would despise most of it. Mostly the no-smoking rules. But one thing he would like is the rom-coms and the reality tv shows - specifically the awful ones. He likes laughing at people.
Shahara:
Judging by the colorful middle-school-art-teacher outfit vibes, she was very into art - specifically floral impressionistic styles - but had to drop it when she became a mother and a cop. Just didn't have the time
Has been to every pride parade she ever had time for. Probably unlabeled and no gender preference
Was a massive rebel as a teenager. Snuck out to house parties, drank underage, probably faked an ID once or twice. Or three times.
Hates crime mystery novels - not because they're bad, just because she's good enough at her job to be able to easily nitpick the plotholes and immediately guess the killer.
If bodies was a show in her world, she would be a stan. Like she'd have made a whole fan acc and everything.
Alfred:
If he could wear piercings, he definitely would. Not many. He's not that extravagant. But he'd probably have a couple earlobe piercings and he'd usually wear studs or very small hoops, mostly in silver or bronze.
stole his mum's dress as a kid once when she wasn't home. He liked it, but when she found out she was furious and he never did it again.
I think he had a decent relationship with his father at first, but as he grew older and continued to suck at lying his parents Figured Things Out the relationship sort of dwindled. They don't speak now. There was no dramatic moment, but eventually the periods of silence grew longer until they never stopped.
He's very interested in fashion. Goes out of his way to keep up with trends and so on.
Work comes first for him because even though he loves Charlotte and Polly with all his heart, it becomes difficult to pretend around them all the time, and a good case is also good escapism.
During his time deducing The Shake, he accidentally stumbled along a different Shake which meant something else entirely and it all got rather embarrassing from there.
Iris:
had an emo phase, which heavy quotations around 'phase'. The fashion style changed, obviously, but she's still emo in spirit. We all know it.
She probably played the cruellest pranks on Alby known to man. To be fair, Alby fought back just as hard - especially after that one time that Iris accidentally spilled water on his new fancy tech during a prank gone wrong when they were teenagers. THAT did not end well for her and there were definitely a shitton of slugs involved or something equally disgusting
Hates sweets. or sugar in general. Shes a fan of bitter, strong things. Like vodka, probably. Or that 'six-shots-of-espresso-nothing-else' monstrosity Crowley ordered in good omens
Tried to hit on Lorna a couple times early on and when Lorna remained totally oblivious she gave up.
Was really into true-crime stuff as a teenager, but nothing involving terrorists. Ever. For obvious reasons.
She saw Mannix as a sort of father figure for a breif period of time, which is part of the reason she was so loyal to him. Immediately after the incident at the throat in episode 5, she turned her parental figure attention to Shahara.

I enjoy them more when I'm out and walking around in them but they mostly make me really lethargic and sometimes make my joint/chronic pain flare up. today is a rainy day and lethargy is hanging around!) // I have slept under the stars (I guess? probably?) // I meditate outside // the sound of chirping calms me (if crickets, absolutely not. birds chirping and singing is one of my favorite sounds ever though. it's the thing I miss most about not living in a city, though sometimes they do make an appearance) // I enjoy the smell of the beach (depends on the beach, but yes) // I know what snow tastes like // I listen to music to fall asleep // I enjoy thunderstorms (mostly, yes, but I'm one of those people who gets a pressure headache whenever one is in the distance. I'm a human barometer) // I enjoy cloud watching // I have attended a bonfire // I pay close attention to colors (not as much as others do but I do enjoy some good color) // I find mystery in the ocean // I enjoy hiking on nature paths (yes, but less and less over the years as walking has become harder) // autumn is my favorite season
MISCELLANEOUS
I can fall asleep in a moving vehicle (and anywhere else, lol hello sleep disorder) // I am the mom friend (absolutely, but I'm slowly letting this go a bit. it's become a bit of an overcompensation for perceived flaws. but it'll always be a part of my personality) // I live by a certain quote (no, but there is a kind of mantra I've come up with to help me during low periods: "I am worth trying for.") // I like the smell of sharpies (yeah but I'm not going around sniffing them) // I am involved in extracurricular activities (does volunteering count?) // I enjoy Mexican food // I can drive a stick shift // I believe in true love (complicated. I believe in love - that's basically my entire belief system - but I don't believe in fate. I don't believe in the concept of there being one person out there who will heal all my ills and be a perfect partner and sweep me off my feet. but... I am a romantic at heart and there's a small part of me that hopes that if I ever have a romantic relationship it'll be one and done. regardless of how irrational I know that is. I've literally been a domestic violence preventionist/relationship/sex educator, trust me, I know!) // I make up scenarios to fall asleep (it's basically the only way I can sleep) // I sing in the shower (not really but I do make weird noises and talk to myself!) // I wish I lived in a video game (WHO would want this?? sounds like a Kafkaesque nightmare) // I have a canopy above my bed // I am multiracial // I am a redhead // I own at least 3 dogs
I don't have anyone to tag since pretty much everyone I thought of has already been tagged. If you want to do this go for it!!!

Love and Letter
Tumblr media
pairing : college student! Yuta Nakamoto x secret admirer
word count : 4.5k words
genre : fluff
summary : A series of letters melt the anti-love’s heart.
warnings : cursing
For the “...dear you” collab hosted by @theje0ngs 😄
I had fun writing for this story. I’m sorry if I posted this early, I’m just so excited to show this to you. Please enjoy and leave feedback. 😁
Nakamoto Yuta. The perfect embodiment of the rebel guy moms would always remind young girls to get away from. Pierced ears, long hair that defies the school rule, a scowl on his face as if hating everyone which he does. A total rebel that is feared by students and teachers alike. The classic bad guy who never showed up for classes, only staying a minute for attendance roll call then skipping. 
And he wanted it to stay like this for the whole year. 
Why does he have to attend Creative Literature class when he’s not even a Literature major? Annoyed, he pushed the door of his locker and was startled when a piece of paper fell from the said locker. His name was written in front in cursive form. To say that he’s not intrigued is a total lie but he waited until he was seated in class when he unfolded the paper. 
‘Hi, Yuta. 
Please don’t be alarmed, I’m not a bad person. 
I notice you a lot in the school hallways and honestly, you’re a little scary. 
I know you’re a nice person. Please lighten up a bit.
XOXO,🍎’
A chuckle escaped his lips. Just a little scary? Him? A nice person? Isn’t this weird? Who in their right mind would make an absurd letter like this? 
But a smile escaped his lips as his mind drifted on the letter in his pocket. Should he start smiling more? Talk to some classmates? Maybe he can find out who wrote the letter. Fuck, this is so dangerous. 
Although it is ultimately different from his usual aura, he greeted the discipline director waiting by the school gate. He also gave a bow to the teachers he passed, smiling lightly at his classmates he only recognized by faces. They were obviously surprised at the sudden shift in his attitude but greeted him as well. By lunchtime, he was hanging out with the guys in his Physics class and laughing at their jokes.   
‘I don’t know if you received my letter the first time but I noticed that you’ve been a little brighter and that you’ve been hanging out with some friends. 
That’s nice. 
I’m happy to see you happier. 
Thank you for making my days brighter, Yuta.
XOXO,🍎’
Yuta smiled. But it was the letter sender who made his days brighter. Does that person like him so much? Or is this something that is made up? He doesn’t want to know but he liked the feeling of receiving the letter. 
He’s used to it by now, saying good morning to the school guard and the discipline director before entering the school gate. He would smile at the other students who were early for class, even helping some with their things. 
Every morning, he would pass by the school’s soccer field. His turf back in high school. If only he continued playing soccer, maybe he can be a part of the team and defeat these guys with terrible form. He smiled while rubbing the back of his head, walking to where the Arts building is. Soccer isn’t for him. 
‘Do you like Messi? 
I noticed you’ve always stopped by the soccer field every morning. 
Maybe you can try out for the soccer team. Didn’t you use to play for the team back in high school? 
It will be cool to see you play again.
XOXO,🍎’ 
He glanced around to see if someone was watching him read the letter but the students are busy with their own things. That person knows that he plays soccer back in high school? Is that person a schoolmate from before? But he’ll have a hard time locating who it is considering that he went to a local high school near the university. 
Is this a sign from above? Should he really try out for soccer? He did miss the feeling of the ball in his feet, the smell of the grassy field, and the excitement it brought him. Why did he even stop playing for a girl who never cared about him?
With the letter in his pocket, Yuta got accepted in the soccer team. The coach even thanked him repeatedly for changing his mind, claiming that he had been coaxing Yuta into applying since his freshman days. The guy only smiled, rubbing his head while apologizing. “The soccer golden boy is back.” And he is. He’s happy to be back. 
But training is so tedious that it startled him. Back in high school, training is such a piece of cake. Why did you have to run fifty laps around the field now? Maybe his body is really startled that for the first time in his college life, he got sick. For two days, he skipped school and just stay at home to rest. Now, he’s debating if playing soccer is all worth it. Should he quit? But he just started. Can his body take on this intense training? 
His friends were greeting him when he returned to school. The other guys from the soccer team teasing him that it’s like that at the first time but he’ll get over this. Hopefully, he will. There isn’t a letter in his locker that made him feel odd. Well, what did he expect? Maybe it already stopped. But he kinda liked it. Even looking forward to it every morning. 
“Dude, you have to attend creative literature tomorrow.” Jungwoo, one of his classmates on the said subject claimed. “We already paired for the project. Your partner seemed really down.” 
Yuta laughed at that. “Who is my partner?” 
“Y/N. She always comes early in class, sitting on the back row.” 
“A girl? Can’t I pair up with you instead?” He revolted quickly that made his friend reason out that nothing will be done if they pair up for the project even asking him the golden question of all, ‘Why are you so scared of girls?’ But Yuta just shrugged, not wanting to explain it to him. 
‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away. 
I’m glad you’re feeling fine and that you’re back in class. 
Also, the apple juice from the vendo machine tastes great. 
I hope you’re not allergic to apples.’
XOXO,🍎’
Funny, that person will say that. He isn’t. And it’s not bad to try it out. 
When he entered the room for their creative literature class, he immediately saw the girl Jungwoo was describing with her face buried in the book. Why is he even scared of talking to a girl? 
Yuta breathed hard before sitting beside her. “Y/N? Am I correct?” He asked which made the girl turn to him. Yuta handed her the same apple juice he’s drinking. “I’m Yuta Nakamoto and we’re partners for the project?” 
The girl nodded, thanking him for the drink. “It’s an epistolary piece we should make…” 
“Epis…? What?” 
She lightly giggled at that which made him stare. “Epistolary.” She said emphasizing all syllables. “It’s a letter-type fiction. We write a story using letters.” Yuta nodded at that. Letters. “I have the idea already but since it’s a pair project, I can’t start on it until I show you.” 
Can’t she show it now? Can she just do the project without his help or without talking to each other? “Do you want to discuss it after class? I’ll be in the library if…” 
“I have soccer practice.” He immediately said that made her stop. He gave her his phone, asking if they can just talk through messages that made her nod, typing her number in. The moment she returned the phone, he immediately stood up to talk to his friend, Taeyong, in the first row.
---------
“You just ditched her?” Taeyong asked that made Yuta ruffle his hair. He shouldn’t have told him. “That’s a pair project, Nakamoto. You’ll both get a zero if you don’t cooperate.” 
Yuta showed the text message he shared with Y/N. “She said she’ll just do it. She’s smart. She can do it.” 
The other shook his head. “Why can’t you just talk to her? Y/N isn’t bad. The thing you’re scared of with girls. I’m sure Y/N isn’t like that.” He raised an eyebrow at him. “All I’m saying is that you should stop being this total jerk on her. He’s not like your ex, Yuta.” That took his attention. How did he know that? “There are talks around.” But before he could ask him to elaborate, Taeyong turned a sharp left. 
The rain was falling hard that made Yuta sigh while taking out his umbrella. Soccer practice ended early because of the muddy ground that made him hate the rain. Today, of all days? He just returned from sickness and yet there’s no training. As he neared the steps of the building, he saw a familiar girl with her hand held out in the pouring rain. “Y/N.” he called. 
The girl gave him a timid smile before returning to what she was doing. Weird. Does she love the rain so much? “Do you have an umbrella?” He asked that made her shake her head. “Do you want to share? I can walk you to the bus stop.” 
“It’s fine, Yuta.” Y/N whispered while shaking her head. Once again, she started playing with the droplets of rain. Truly odd. Maybe Taeyong is right, she really is different. Yuta handed the umbrella that startled her, “Yuta!” But he was already running in the rain. Shit, he might get sick again with this. 
‘It’s been raining non-stop this past few days. It’s so gloomy. 
Also, I learned a new word today.
Niwakaame. 
Isn’t it Japanese? 
Rain Shower. 
I love the rain shower. 
How about you? I hope you don’t hate the rain as much. 
It helps water the plants, you know?
XOXO,🍎’  
A giggle escaped his lips. It does, doesn’t it? 
He just had a reason to like the rain. 
Since soccer practices had been on hold because of the rainy weather, he would always find himself in the library working on that epistolary piece with Y/N. She would always type her ideas and he would check if it was alright. But really, what does he know about all of this? 
He was just thankful that she became his partner, she's really smart and creative. He'll probably pass creative literature with ease because of her help. Another thing is that she never talks when she's in front of her laptop and he was thankful that she's saving them from awkwardness. 
He put on the straw of the apple juice before slipping it beside her notebook. Yuta returned to his comic book when he heard her say in a soft voice, "I didn't know you like apples." Yeah, he honestly didn't know that he did either. 
‘Soccer is such a boring sport for me before. Why does it take so long for players to score a goal? 
But watching you play, scoring that goal in the last minute, I’ve never felt that thrill and happiness before. 
Congratulations! 
And if no one told you this before, I guess I’ll have to tell you now. 
You are really cool, Yuta Nakamoto!
XOXO,🍎’   
The class was cheering with excitement when Yuta entered the room, everyone was congratulating him for the amazing game. He beamed happily, thanking them as he poked a straw to the apple juice he was holding and putting it on Y/N’s table but she didn’t even look at him and was just typing in front of her laptop. 
“You’re being chummy with her.” Taeyong claimed while elbowing his side. “So what’s special about Y/N that she’s the only girl you talk to?” 
Yuta had to laugh, voice resonating to the whole room. Instead of the professor, it was the TA who came for class. He just asked them to talk with their partners that made the class scrambled on their seats. Yuta sat beside Y/N who kept on typing in her laptop as if not caring about anything. “Y/N.” He called softly. “Are you alright?” 
The girl almost screamed when Yuta held her shoulder. “Yuta?” She called then stared around. “I’m sorry. Is the class starting?” She immediately put down the screen of her laptop while biting her thumb. 
“The prof isn’t here. The TA just wanted the pairs to talk about the idea.” She whispered an ‘oh, I see’ before putting out her laptop which opened a document. “You seemed busy.” 
“Paper due today.” She answered while typing, bouncing her legs while she bit her lip. 
The TA started walking around the room to see what the students are doing which made Y/N close the document, groaning when she failed to save it. The girl bumped her head to the desk that surprised Yuta. “You can type your paper and pretend to listen to me.” Yuta suggested that made her look at him. There were tears in her eyes. “Just pretend that I’m telling you the story.” 
Y/N wiped her eyes then breathed hard before opening her laptop to start with her work. Yuta smiled when she started typing words on her laptop. “Someone is giving me letters.” But her typing didn’t stop and he wondered if she was even listening to him. “I don’t know why but that person gives me comfort all the time.” The TA approached their table and she started typing at a slow pace as he continued talking to her, “I always wait for that person’s letters every morning.” 
When the TA passed, Y/N returned to her usual typing that made Yuta shrug and just watch as she focused on her work. Maybe she isn’t interested in hearing his story but it feels good that he got this chance to tell someone about the mystery sender always giving him smiles. He placed his head on the table, facing her. “I hope you meet your letter sender, superstar.” Y/N said without looking away from her laptop. And he wished he did too. 
‘Ureshii. 
I’m happy you’re always happy, Yuta. 
I’m happy to hear your laugh echo in our room. I’m happy to see you smiling at everyone you pass by. 
I’m happy you’re coming to class and enjoying soccer. 
I’m really happy for you, Yuta.
XOXO,🍎’
A smirk appeared on his lips, so this person is in the same class as him? He usually passes by this person as well. He really wants to see this person once and thank him or her. 
A thought passed his mind. What if the sender is a girl? Can he actually talk to her? Maybe not. This is probably better. That he’s curious about the mystery letter sender. 
It was the midterm week. Everyone is super busy with the things they have to do, college life is so fast-paced that it scared Yuta. He’s used to getting left behind but what if he gets too left behind? He’s not super smart, not even studious. And a failing grade meant an automatic expulsion from the soccer team which he slowly grew to love. He should just be back from his usual rebel phase. 
The thing he was scared of happened because of Math, specifically Trigonometry. He had to admit that he was blank the whole time, the result of not going to class during the first few months of school. What’s more annoying is seeing everyone’s score on the bulletin board and his fifteen points in Math. 
“Take a tutorial class and retake the exam. It isn’t that hard.” The soccer coach said. “I don’t want to expel you in the team, golden boy.” But most of the tutors are all girls which scared him the most. Yet he didn’t want to fail. 
As he skimmed the possible Math tutors to help him, his eyes fell on one specific girl that he knew who could help him. The only girl he could talk to. 
‘Keep your head up. 
It’s Math. It is naturally hard. 
Don’t beat yourself up instead focus on what you did. 
You solved an entire equation, fifteen of it and that’s admirable already. 
Keep it up, Yuta! You’ve done a great job. 
XOXO,🍎’ 
“This answer is wrong, superstar.” Y/N claimed, circling her pencil to the number two which Yuta got as an answer. The guy looked at it curiously, sighing hard while bumping his head on the table that earned looks from everyone inside the coffee shop. The girl had to giggle at him before closing her book, “We can rest if you want.” 
Yuta followed her by closing the book then drank his apple juice that made her shake her head. “Y/N, do you remember the letter sender I told you about?” He asked before leaning his head on top of the books. The girl only nodded in answer. “Should I meet him?” 
“Him? Your mystery sender is a guy?” 
The guy shrugged. “But I want to think that the sender is a he so I won’t get too nervous.” But Y/N only gave him a confused look. “I’m not good with talking to girls. I mean, I’m really scared of holding a conversation with them especially after I broke up with my girlfriend.” Yuta breathed before continuing, “She gets jealous even if I just smile at another girl and maybe that was when the trauma started. When we broke up, I just can’t shake it off. I feel like it’s wrong for me to be talking to a girl.” 
Y/N nodded. “Well, you just told that whole sentence to me. And I’m a girl.” 
“Oh shit!” Yuta exclaimed. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. Please don’t be offended.” Y/N shook her head, smiling at him. “I think you’re really pretty and smart.” 
“You think I’m friendly?” He gave her a confused look. Friendly? But he clearly said pretty. Yuta chuckled before nodding at her. 
It was Y/N’s idea to give the mystery sender a response in a form of a letter, just Yuta saying that he’s thankful for the letters the sender gave him. He even shared how he liked Keisuke Honda better than Messi, how he thinks the apple juice from the vendo machine is the best drink there is in school, and how he started to think of the rain in a better light. He thanked the sender for encouraging him to study Math and the support he got from playing soccer. By the end of the letter, he told the sender that he will wait in a coffee shop to meet him or her so he can properly thank him or her. 
"Y/N!" Yuta called while running in the hallway to where she was. He kept bumping on other students, apologizing quickly to them. "Y/N! He took the letter." She shrugged, looking at him confused. "Do you think he'll come to the coffee shop and meet me?" 
"Did you tell her that?" He leaned beside your locker while she took out books for her consecutive classes. 
Yuta nodded, taking her books for him to carry. "I'm nervous. What should I do?" Y/N was startled at the action. "What if the sender is a she? How can I even talk to her?" 
The girl giggled. "Like how you're talking to me, Yuta." 
He stopped walking and she was steps ahead when she noticed Yuta was gone. "Can you come with me later?" 
Y/N sighed, shaking her head at him. “You can do this, superstar.” 
--------
Yuta was so nervous that he kept on ordering water to ease his nerves. Every time the chimes of the door ring, he would stare at the door and hope that it was the letter sender. He lightly glanced at his wristwatch, it's been an hour. Will that person even come? 
He's in his fifth cup of coffee, almost two hours have passed since the time he told the person in the letter. Yuta had already given up. Maybe she wouldn't come. He was about to stand up when Jungwoo came inside the coffee shop and sat in front of him. The younger guy handed him a folded piece of paper, "Someone wants to give you this." 
"You know who it is?" 
He nodded, "I saw her putting the letter in your locker once." Her? "But Yuta please know that she has her reasons why she doesn't want you to meet her." 
"Can you just tell me who she is?" Jungwoo shook his head, apologizing before standing up to leave Yuta alone. 
‘I received your letter and I’m so sorry for not coming to meet you. 
I’m scared. I don’t know why but I am. 
I don’t want to erase your smile when you find out that this is just me, I appreciate your letter, I really do. 
And I’ll treasure it all my life. Thank you, Yuta. I’m sorry.
XOXO,🍎’ 
That's it? He won't get to know who she was. He cannot thank her for giving him something to look forward to every time. Is it possible to have your heart broken before it can even beat for a person? 
Creative Literature class. Today is the last day of submitting the epistolary piece he and Y/N had been working on. He did the usual morning routine, go to the vendo and pick up a juice for him and her. But he can't seem to find the courage to push the button for the apple one so he settled to the orange-flavored juice. "Shit!" he cursed. He never knew Y/N's favorite juice flavor. He would always give her the apple flavored one. So with a heavy heart, he settled on the apple one. 
Weird, he thought. It's almost time and Y/N isn't here yet. Taeyong entered the room and placed a folder in front of Yuta. "Y/N wanted to give you this." He was startled. There's always something fishy about Taeyong and Y/N so he asked him the question that's always bugging him. The other guy chuckled, "We're cousins, stupid." Taeyong supplied that made Yuta nod. He didn't know that. 
"Where is she?" Yuta asked while opening the folder. There's a page full of computerized words, the story she wrote. "Is she sick?" Five pages of the story and on the last page, hers and his names are written in her handwriting. 
"She didn't tell you?" Yuta shook his head in a questioning manner. "She's going to New York for the Exchange Student Program. It's her flight today." 
Yuta skimmed the contents of the epistolary piece she made then focused on the handwriting. Why did it take him so long to realize everything? Taeyong called for his name but he was already outside the door of their classroom. He heard Jungwoo calling him but he was already out of the gates and hailed a cab. "Airport. Please step on it." 
He took out the letters that he kept in his notebook, nine different letters to be exact. Yuta smiled seeing the hidden message in the letters. She cannot hide from him anymore. "Where are you?" Yuta asked when she answered the phone, his foot stepped inside the crowded airport. 
"Airport?" He answered 'I know', "Gate four."
"Wait for me there." She called for his name but he was already running to where she was, putting the phone in his pocket. "Y/N!" he called which made the girl turn to where he is. He lightly bowed at her parents, asking if he can talk to Y/N for a while. 
"It's you, isn't it? The letters." He asked which made the girl stop. "Why didn't you just tell me?" Then he shook his head. "After confessing, you're just going to leave me?" 
The girl giggled at that. "It's just for two months, don't overreact." The guy breathed hard. "Did Jungwoo tell you?" 
"I saw the pattern with the epistolary you did. Saw how you wrote my name and realized you never told me the juice you wanted and just went with the apple juice I always gave you." The girl smiled then he showed the nine letters he was holding. "Why the hell are you so smart that you have to put a secret message in your letters?" The girl giggled. 
The announcement for the plane passengers heading to New York can be heard, "I have to board, Yuta. I'll see you when…" 
But he pulled her closer, wrapping her in his arms. "I like you too, Y/N." A final call for the passengers can be heard and he hesitatingly let go of her. "I'll message you every day." Y/N nodded before saying goodbye to him and her parents, facing the boarding gate without even looking back. 
----
Nakamoto Yuta. The perfect embodiment of the soccer superstar every university wanted to have. The model student who greets everyone, female or male, when he passes by them in the hallways. The loyal boyfriend who only has eyes for one girl. 
He couldn't believe only a month had passed. He misses her so much even if the time they spent together is much longer than the time they're away from each other. 
A normal day, a normal scenario for him. He quickly went to his locker to get his books for Physics class when a piece of paper fell, making his heart race. 
'Did you miss me, my soccer superstar? 
How many girls have fallen for that smile? 
Or are you just smiling for me? 
If you do, Room 3F.
XOXO, Y/N' 
He slammed his locker shut then passed by the vendo machine to get an apple juice, even tapping his foot when it took a long time to go down. Yuta ran to the third floor, catching his breath when he's outside room 3F. 
The moment he opened the door, a pair of arms wrapped around his neck. "Hi, Yuta." She greeted that made him smile. 
She's here. She's really here. 
"Why didn’t you tell me you’re back?” But he just wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her tight. “And I was complaining last night about missing you.” 
Y/N giggled. “That’s why I went home early. I heard you’re famous with the ladies lately.” Yuta sighed, bopping her nose while teasing her for being so jealous. “Too bad we don’t have the same class together.” 
The guy chuckled worriedly. “Well, you know I had to skip class that day and go to you to the airport.” Y/N nodded. “I didn’t submit our project so the professor gave us a zero.” 
“What?”
Yuta laughed, shrugging. “On the bright side, we’re going to attend the same class in summer.”  
And he knew, from her grin, his anti-love phase is over.

I know someone is going to ask me about the secret message in the letters but I’ll let you discover it. 😁

a shy, goth s/o who goes by they/them pronouns
Tumblr media
requested by anon; HIII!! I recently started watching soul eater and i finallyyy found someone who writes for them so im reallllly exited!! So i wanted to request something!! Can you do like how Crona, Kid, Soul and Stein would be like in a relationship with a shy goth s/o who uses they/tem prounons (sometimes she). Also when they talk about the things they like they get superrr extroverted and could talk for hourss about it! Also would it heart to ask if you could make cronas a lil longer, they are my comfort character🤧Also wanted to ask if you did emergency requests! If you dont that’s totally fine!!
[a/n: thank you for this request, my lovely anon! It gave me the way to get back into a writing flow again. I quite enjoyed writing for these characters since I don’t get very many Soul Eater requests, as for emergency requests...go ahead and send them in but I apologize if I don’t get it done quickly, seeing as I’m not quite that active on here like I was before. for now, enjoy! - yours truly, bunnyy -`ღ´-] 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- truthfully, i think he'd be a little confused at first
- about the whole pronouns thing
- despite being friends with Crona
- so, he'd approach Maka, Crona, and Subaki about it
- he'd be a little embarrassed because he mistakenly exposed his HUGE crush on you
- Subaki coos at him and thinks it's sweet
- Crona is glad to help, knowing that using they/them pronouns is still a foreign concept for some people
- Maka would definitely tease him but ultimately, she's glad he had asked for help
- after realizing that it was a rather simple concept to understand
- he'd get SOOO cocky
- he absolutely loves your style
- obviously thinks you're the coolest person to ever exist
- now the only thing in his way??
- your shyness
- he's only interacted with you a few times but because he tends to be a bit abrasive, you usually keep your distance
- the few times that Stein had called on you in class to answer a question was the most he's really heard you talk
- you were good friends with Kid though
- so you ended up hanging out with the group a lot
- he's seen how passionate you could get whilst talking about your hobbies or about things you liked to Kid or Liz
and Patty
- it made him a gajillion times more attracted to you
- after FINALLY gaining the courage to ask you out (you can thank Black Star for telling him that it wasn't cool to be such
a wimp)
- he'd be on cloud nine
- being in a relationship with Soul would be fun
- he'd be a little awkward at first but he'd soon ease into it
- he's really good at respecting your pronouns
- in the case that he slips up, which i don't really think he would, but if he does he'd feel absolutely terrible
- like he'd beat himself up so hard
- he would do anything to make it up to you
- 100% would cook you a super nice dinner as an apology
- if anybody ever made fun of your style or your pronouns, it's over for that person
- they'd have, not only Soul and Maka on their ass, but they'd have Black Star and Tsubaki, AND the literal son of the grim
reaper and his twin pistols
- overall, Soul would be such a sweetheart
- you make him so, so soft
Tumblr media
- gosh i love him so much
- okay
- Kid is definitely somebody who would be up front with his feelings
- he knows about your use of different pronouns and he really admires your bravery to be so open about it
- i feel like he's definitely thought about going by he/they pronouns
- thinks it's absolutely adorable how shy you are
- despite being shy and closed off, he never overlooked you like some students or other staff
- he knows how clever you are
- don't even get me started on your style
- he love love loves your goth style
- especially when you wear anything with skulls on it
- when it comes to his feelings, Liz gets fed up with how ridiculous he's being
- she's watched him break down crying because the stripes on his head aren't symmetrical and someone as precious as you
would think he's trash
- which obviously isn't true
- he sees you out on the balcony, sat on the ledge and book in hand
- he's noticed you with it a lot but it's only the 1st book of a series
- he figures that maybe you just haven't had the chance to find the rest of them
- after some research, he finds that the series had been completed but because of the lack of readers, it was put out of
production and copies were pulled out of libraries and bookstores
- but alas, he had found one of the only complete series in existence in somewhat excellent condition
- it was quite expensive but that was really no problem
- he had wrapped up the set and had gifted them to you with a note and as you read the note, your cheeks burned
- he confessed his feelings
- the next day, you had approached him and thanked him for the gift as well as confessing your own feelings for him
- he thought the stuttering and flushed cheeks was adorable
- 100% the power couple at the DWMA
- sorry i don't make the rules
- Liz and Patty are definitely in love with you, especially with how versatile your fashion is
- Patty has definitely volunteered to paint your nails before
- MATCHING RINGS
- Kid definitely gets you a et of skull rings, just like his
- will go beast mode on anyone who makes fun of your style and/or use of pronouns
he's be such a gentleman and he practically worships the ground you walk on
- as he should  
Tumblr media
- Stein would be quite used to the use of they/them pronouns since he has students who go by them
- when there's word of a new teacher at DWMA who goes by they/them, he's quite intrigued
- so much so that he would volunteer to show you around the enormous school
- 10/10 falls in love with you instantly
- your shy demeanor is such a contrast to your style
- definitely lives for teasing you
- anything to make you stutter
- but he'd be very blunt about his feelings
- he makes sure that you're being respected by students and staff alike
- threatens anybody who doesn't
- he gets you some screw earrings or a necklace (if you don't have piercings)
- it's his way of making sure people know that you're his

- he's a bit more on the playful side so just always be prepared for cheeky remarks
- he doesn't mind your shyness at all
- since he doesn't really favor going out too much so most of your dates are in doors, his place or yours
- probably with a cup of coffee and a book
- he can be sweet when he wants to
- isn't really into pda but i wouldn't be too surprised if he had a moment of spontaneity and pull you into his arms and
kiss you passionately  
- some students think it's romantic and others definitely tease the both of you
- since your social battery probably runs out pretty quick, he loves that it gives him an out from tiring staff get
togethers
- Death Scythe thinks it's absolutely HYSTERICAL to make fun of Stein's moments of softness
- but ultimately, he thinks the way Stein looks at you is sweet and makes him happy that his friend has found someone like
you
- cause you're the best
- duh
- his wardrobe has infinitely improved since the both of you got together
- all thanks to you
- overall 15/10 a good significant other
Tumblr media
- ahh Crona, sweet sweet Crona
- they're the freaking cutest
- now i know that in the anime and manga, it's written that he uses he/him pronouns but it seem like on tumblr everyone has
just settled on using they/them instead because of Crona's androgynous style and frankly it's a bit of an unclear area
- so uhhh yeah, let's get started
- Crona would have trouble admitting that they had feelings for you, so they tries to hide it but alas, Maka had caught on
- it took Soul a bit longer to realize but he eventually did
- the group had caught on and thought it was adorable
- all of them had tried to help in any way they could
- but Crona just couldn't muster up the courage to tell you
- the both of you were quite shy so it was nearly impossible to get some type of interaction between the two of you
- Crona also really loved your style
- the both of you were similar in so many ways
- Black Star had actually been the one to let it slip that Crona had harbored some kind of affection for you
- Tsubaki had smacked him upside the head and chastised him since it wasn't his place to say anything
- but now that it was out in the open, it had given you the slight confidence boost you needed to confess
- but when you did, Crona just stood frozen, almost mortified by your words
- you took it as rejection and ran off into the woods surrounding the school campus
- Ragnarok had then made an appearance and started tugging at Crona's cheeks and telling them that they should go after you
- but of course, they hadn't
- instead, turning to Maka and Tsubaki for help
- the two had taken it upon themselves to look for you and clear up any misunderstandings
- the next day, Crona had approached you and apologized
- even though they're words were stuttered, you appreciated the gesture and asked Crona on a proper date
- they accepted before panicking because it had dawned on them that they had never been on a date before
- overall, Crona is such a sweet partner
- sure, a bit unexperienced but sweet nonetheless
- they try their best
- both of you have similar styles and everyone thinks the both of you are just the most adorable couple on campus
- Crona loved hearing you talk about the things you loved
- your eyes would sparkle and you'd move your hands so animatedly
- it's almost like you're a different person in that moment
- they just adored you
- they'd get upset if someone had disrespected your pronouns
- Ragnorak would definitely rage if someone disrespected you
- as much as he hated to admit it, he really really liked you
- mainly because you always carried sweets around for him
- ugh I just love Crona

SCENARIO REQUEST: ❝hidden earrings?❞
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia ] [ Characters: Todoroki Shouto ]
「 Todoroki discovering that his S/O who has two holes on their ears for earrings.」 For info: In Japanese schools, girls can't wear earrings, necklace, rings. S/O has holes in their ears because they come from another country and did them there.
TODOROKI SHOUTO
"[First Name]-chan, isn't it hot like that?" Tsuyu questioned.
It was in the middle of summer and it was extremely hot in Japan during that time of year. You were aware of the rules in Japan ― they don't allow girls to wear earrings, necklace, rings and piercings. You never tied your hair up in fear of getting into trouble for having ear piercing. No matter how hot it got, you kept your hair down to avoid trouble. You were not a really a jewellery person but your mother convinced you to try on earrings while you were still in [Preferred Country]. In addition to that, your old classmates wanted to get matching piercings to commemorate something. And now, you're in Japan with two holes in your ears.
The ones with long hair in the class were you, Tsuyu and Yaoyorozu so it was expected for you all to tie up your hair to fight against the intense heat that came during the summer. You could feel the sweat building up around your neck, it was extremely uncomfortable but you didn't want to risk the questioning that will occur once you reveal what you've been hiding.
When it comes to summer, everyone starts to lose the blazer and most girls opt to lose the stockings/tights. The only ways you decide to cool yourself down was to do the same as most students. Even so, it didn't help the fact that sweat was starting to accumulate around your neck which made your hair stick to your skin. It wasn't long till you begin to regret your life decisions but you can't risk letting anyone knowing that you have piercing on his ears.
"Everything's fine. I just need to wash my face to cool myself down." you smiled and quickly walked past the girls before making a beeline towards the toilet to freshen up by washing your face.
Todoroki was a bit worried. Perhaps you're trying a bit too hard to act strong in front of everyone but he can't seem to figure out the intention behind your actions. The two of you walked side by side, trailing behind a few classmates. He glanced at you a few times and realized that you were sweating buckets. The boy has suggested a couple of times to tie up your hair or get some ice cream along the way but you shook your head and insisted that you were just fine. You were relieved when the cool air blew against your face the moment you entered the dorms.
Midterms were just right around the corner and there was a least one week for you to prepare for them. And what better way to prepare other than asking your smart boyfriend to tutor you in the subjects you don’t fare well at? It didn’t take long for you to get changed, gather all your books and meet up with your boyfriend in his room. Now that you've made yourself comfortable by the coffee table placed at the centre of his room.
"Make yourself comfortable, [First Name]." Todoroki said. As usual, his room was clean and tidy without any trace of mess. He was never the type to invite people into his room that often which means his room is never messy.
The moment your boyfriend left the room, you began flipping through your notes to find which topic that you're struggling with. Just the sight of your notes were enough to make you feel a bit tired. The yawn that leaves your mouth was inevitable as you stretched your arms into the air. Just the thought of having to go back to school tomorrow and train again made you let out a heavy sign. You slowly let yourself relax and laid down on the floor of Todoroki's bedroom. After a long day at school, you normally just want to lie down and do nothing until tomorrow comes. You let your hair sprawl out on the ground freely.
When you stopped to think about it, you have only been dating Todoroki for a month and never had the chance to tell him about your little holes on your ear. Your hands moved unconsciously to your ears, rubbing the lobe between your thumb and pointer finger. Your mother had told you about the rules of Japanese schools, not to have any piercings or tattoos. Honestly, not actually wearing them shouldn't pose a problem but having these holes might make people misunderstand and think that you have piercings.
You let exhaustion take over you. All that training that Aizawa put you through today was just too tiring and you felt your eyes slowly fall shut on its own. The world of slumber welcomed you with warm arms and you never heard Todoroki come back to his own room. On his hands was a plastic bag filled with drinks and some snacks. When he noticed you sleeping soundly, he thought that it was best for him to just let you be. However.....
"Sleeping on the floor must be very uncomfortable." he muttered to himself as he put down all the items he had brought in.
Todoroki grabbed one of his pillows and carefully placed it on his lap before moving your head onto the pillow. And it was at this moment that his attention was brought towards your hair. He never had any trouble adapting to hot and cold weather that much so he could never relate to those who often complained about the weather. While he was busy brushing your hair between his fingers, his hand stopped right next to your ear. It was then he realized that you have two holes in your ears.
He couldn't seem to mask his surprise and curiosity at all. If you were awake at this moment, you would be teasing him. However, you're fast asleep and completely oblivious to his staring. Todoroki couldn't help but cup your cheek, smiling to himself as you nuzzled onto his hand. He felt slightly upset at the fact that he never realized that you have holes on your ears, thinking that he was not that observant. Even though Todoroki's touches were gentle and soothing, you stirred awake at some point, feeling an itch on your ear. Todoroki noticed you shifting a little and moved back to give you some space to move around.
"You never told me you pierced your ears." he announced nonchalantly. You got flustered under his gaze, feeling a bit ashamed of yourself. Your hands instinctively moved to cover your ears.
"D-Don't look too much.....I never told anyone about these before." you muttered.
"Don't hide it, I want to see it." he coaxed you, his hand gently placed atop of yours. You slowly moved your hand away from your ears, letting your boyfriend have a clear look. Todoroki gently touched your ear, his thumb brushing over the hole. He finds himself feeling a bit amazed at the fact that you used to wear earrings. Under his gaze, you feel very awkward, especially when he's just rubbing your lobes.
"Shouto, what are you doing?" you asked but your question remains unanswered as his mind was elsewhere.
"I guess giving her earrings wouldn't be bad idea, knowing that she has holes on her ears."

Thank you for requesting! 。٩(ˊᗜˋ)و*。 We tried our best for this scenario. Honestly, I had no idea that in Japanese schools we're not allowed to wear earrings. Its also because I don't wear earrings myself. We hope you liked it! ― author Lou
Thank you for requesting it! Also thanks for teaching us something new. Hope you enjoyed this! ― author Natsuki

Haikyuu!! Fic Recs
I love reading fanfics, and I have so many bookmarked that I want to share. Hope you all enjoy and give these writers all the love. All of these are completed works, and they are a mixture of one shots and multi chaps.
Kagehina
where the night goes by bigspoonnoya (M)
Summary:
When their bond loses the immediate context of volleyball, they're left to consider why it's still so vital and important.
Meeting again, by chance, six years later.
Somewhere to Belong by Esselle (E)
Summary:
Once a year, all the villages that follow the way of the sun offer up one of their own to be taken to the sun god's divine temple. Kageyama Tobio, an orphan and loner, never wanted to be chosen—and until the sun god appeared, no one ever wanted to choose him, either. All Tobio wants is to find a place he fits in. What he actually gets is another story entirely.
by this time next year by reeology (T)
Summary:
"I got offers from two universities," Kageyama announces, pointing at his chest with his thumb. "I'm going to play volleyball at Keio this spring."
"You still have to pass an exam, even if it's an easy one," Takeda-sensei hurries to add, although he is beaming and bursting with pride at his fluffy little crow chick taking off to play volleyball at a university level.
"I'll pass," Kageyama says with the same kind of confidence he uses when he tells Hinata he'll get the toss to him. He looks straight at Hinata, and Hinata jerks and turns red, wondering if maybe Kageyama knew he was daydreaming about something as stupid as the way Kageyama talks to him during a game. But then Kageyama just points at him and says, "You'd better get in, too."
Hinata, stupid, naive, idiot that he is, grins wide and nods and says, "Yeah!"
He doesn't know what he's in for.
Not Alone by seconddaysea (E)
Summary:
"I'll visit you," Hinata says. "So you're not allowed to get lonely, you got it?" He turns so they're facing each other, hands warm against Tobio's back. "I'm already lonely," he replies quietly, and he presses his face against Hinata's heart, squeezing his eyes shut, because if this is a dream he doesn't want to wake up.
maps, from me to you by tothemoon (T)
Summary:
This is a (non-chronological) account of the memories they make out of millimeters.
Iwaoi
we can do better than that by spaceburgers (M)
Summary:
Oikawa and Iwaizumi go on a road trip during the summer after their high school graduation. It doesn't go as expected, but maybe that's not such a bad thing after all. 
we shine like diamonds by whiitemists (T)
Summary:
Oikawa is nine when he first hears the word. The boys on the playground whisper it like it's dirty, like the way they daringly mutter the word fuck and then look over their shoulders to check their parents hadn't heard.
"You know Abe-kun from class?" they snicker, hands cupped around their mouths like they're passing along a filthy secret. "I hear his older brother is... gay."
here comes your man by newamsterdam (T)
Summary:
Iwaizumi’s left his cell phone on the bench, and while Suga keeps his gaze away from Iwaizumi the phone lights up with a new message.
Iwa-chan, it reads, Have a good day today! Good luck! <3 <3 <3
Suga chokes. It’s hard to imagine anyone calling the scowling and fierce Doctor Iwaizumi “Iwa-chan.” But marriage probably comes with all sorts of liberties.
Mrs. Iwaizumi must be quite the doting wife, Suga thinks. Delivering hand-made bentos and sending along loving messages.
No one really knows much about the new surgical resident, Doctor Iwaizumi, other than the fact that he's married. Suga's determined to find out more, and make a friend of him in the process.            
just hear me out by loveclouds (T)     
Summary:
To stimulate Japan's low birthrates and take most of the guesswork out of dating, a beeper system was biologically developed in people's wrists, an audible confirmation to show romantic compatibility.
Iwaizumi's beeper has been going off for Oikawa since they've been kids. Oikawa's has only ever been silent.
 Call Security! by DeathBelle  (T)    
Summary:
Oikawa Tooru is attractive, charming, and irresistible.
He thinks so, anyway, until he meets the mall's new security guard.
In which Oikawa has a crush, Iwaizumi has no interest, and a chain of shoplifting incidents brings them together.
Bokuaka
(Don't) Touch Me by DeathBelle (E)         
Summary:
Akaashi has always had an aversion to human contact, but earlier in his life it had been bearable. It isn't until his last year of high school that it becomes intolerable. By the time he enters college, any skin contact has the potential to send him spiraling into a breathtaking panic attack.
He reconnects with Bokuto in college, and he seems to be the only person with the ability to calm Akaashi down. He finds himself relying on his old captain more and more, especially when Bokuto deems himself Akaashi's own personal guardian. Despite their connection, he can't touch Bokuto, either; no matter how badly he'd like to.    
Upstairs by yoogiboobi (E)    
Summary:
Bokuto first sees his neighbour at the supermarket, three days after he's moved into his new place.
[...] 
For about a second, a heartbeat, he's met with a pair of dark, piercing eyes, with what is probably eyeliner, looking back at him. It really is just a split second before his hand knocks down three cereal boxes that hit him square in the head, effectively making him break eye contact and drop his groceries to the floor.
In which some of the first things Bokuto learns about his upstairs neighbour are the colour of his eyes and the sound of his moans.         
bang! now we're even by Authoress (E)
Summary:
Akaashi only has two rules when it comes to his profession. One, complete the job as swiftly and cleanly as possible. Two, never trust anyone who smells like blood.
Rule three is to shoot Owl Eyes in the face should he ever come across him, but Akaashi never tells anyone about that one.
Crisis Converted  by valiantarmor (E)    
Summary:
Akaashi Keiji is just a normal cop with a penchant for getting himself into trouble, when quite suddenly he finds himself with a big promotion and a brand new partner.
But his habit of finding trouble hasn't gone away -- if anything, it's only gotten worse. 
cracks in the pavement will lead you home by deusreks (M)    
Summary:
Bokuto often thinks about Akaashi, especially when he’s running. It’s like his legs know where they’re supposed to take him. He grows into a habit of running a lot, just to keep that feeling going. Cracks and holes in the pavement aren’t fun to jump over if the final reward isn’t seeing Akaashi’s face.
An alternate universe with a little bit of magic and a lot of growing up.         
Ushiten
died in my dreams by MTrash (Makaria) (T)
Summary:
If anyone asked Ushijima how it came to this, he wouldn’t be able to formulate a proper answer.
Ushijima likes his quiet, his order, and his solitude. That is, until a loud, talkative and a little chaotic cyber tech convinces him that that's just plain boring.
while i nodded, nearly napping (suddenly there came a tapping) by pseudoanalytics (T)     
Summary:
Of course if there was one thing that could be counted on, it was Ushijima’s blunt, total honesty. “Do you think Tendou is attracted to me?”
Reon froze. “T-Tendou?”
“Yes.”
Tendou was notoriously hard to read, but Reon kind of figured that he wasn’t the type to be anything less than painfully overt with romantic affections.
“I... I don’t think you have anything to worry about. I think if Tendou was attracted to you, he would let you know,” Reon said. “I'd guess he just considers you his best friend.” He hoped his answer would satisfy whatever frenzy the guy had worked himself into so Reon could finally take advantage of his last precious hours of sleep.
But instead, Ushijima visibly deflated in front of him. “Yes. That’s what I thought too,” he said miserably.
Oh, Reon realized. Oh no...
Executive Excursion by DeathBelle (E)    
Summary:
Tendou is fun, quirky, and interesting.
Ushijima is none of the above.
It's no surprise that Ushijima is drawn to Tendou's magnetic personality. What's surprising is that Tendou seems to like Ushijima, too.
With a little support from his coworkers, Ushijima decides to take a chance and ask Tendou on a date. The results are better than expected.
fascinating facts about geckos by miracleboysatori (T)        
Summary:     
Ushijima Wakatoshi.
That’s the coach’s name. And he’s the new biology teacher on campus, so not only is he incredibly beautiful, he's also smart as hell.
Tendou can tell he’s completely doomed.
Affection, and other Quantifiable Actions by badbavarois (T)   
Summary:
(He's a monster) Ushijima Wakatoshi isn't a monster.            
Misc/ Other ships
but not for spring to well up by tookumade (T)  OsaSuna 
Summary:
After ending a relationship with a fiancé, Suna returns home and tries to heal from heartbreak. Here, he finds friends in the form of the Miya brothers, and learns patience, forgiveness, and what happiness means to him.           
the more things change by deadseasalt (E)  OiKage   
Summary:
“So let me get this straight. You went to the Meiji-Chuo game and saw your old crush and after watching Meiji bring Chuo to a crushing defeat, you realized you were still crushing on him big time?”
Kageyama wishes he could spit in Tsukishima’s drink. “It’s not a crush.”
Tsukishima laughs. “You poor dumb fuck.”
Third Impression by DeathBelle (E) Kuroo x Semi
Summary:
If Semi has a type, Kuroo isn't it.
After their first meeting, Semi concludes that Kuroo is smug, presumptuous, and a little too flirtatious for his own good. Their second encounter doesn't change his mind, and Semi does his best to avoid a third.
Kuroo has other ideas, and Semi finds himself tricked into an impromptu tutoring session with Kuroo himself.
It doesn't go as badly as Semi expects.
Mannequin Men by surveycorpsjean  (E) BokuAkaKuroTsukki
Summary:
The modeling world is full of hungry wolves, constantly clambering over the other, snarling and desperate. They fight, and they kill, trampling over anything in their path.
In this case, Akaashi fell in love with the wolves.
Efflorescence by h_lovely (E) MatsuHana
Summary:
"Are we flirting?"   "Do you want to be?"
[Efflorescence (n.) a state of blooming, flowering, and development.]

some trans Jeff thoughts:
he realized he was trans in elementary school and just went fuck it I'll just start introducing myself as Jeffery and see if anyone decides to stop me (as we know, jeff winger can get away with almost anything)
he got top surgery the second he could afford it (around the same time he started at his law firm), and probably bribed someone to keep it a secret
"I'm jeff winger and i would rather look at myself naked than the women I sleep with" are the words of a man proud of his transition
he's really insecure about his fashion sense, which is why he mostly dresses like the douchey guys at his firm in the start of the show, he thought you can't go wrong with the sleazy lawyer look
he will never admit it but he feels super good about the dean hitting on him, because the dean is a (cis) guy, acknowledging that Jeff is more manly than him
i think he starts out stealth and comes out to everyone one by one, probably starting with abed because he knows abed won't judge him and will probably just see it as an interesting backstory.
abed just says it's cool and maybe worth a prequel exploring Jeff's transition, and jeff asks him to predict how all of the members of the group will react to him coming out.
abed's predictions:
britta will be over-the-top supportive and do a ton of research about trans history, probably put together a slideshow just to prove how progressive she is, and jeff will be a little bit weirded out, but also touched that she did all that for him, though he would never let her know that
shirley will be confused, because she doesn't know how someone she trusts and knows so well could be part of a group she was raised to hate, but ultimately realizes that there's nothing actually against the lgbtq people in the bible, and, as a cool character development arch, starts to advocate against use of the bible to justify bigotry
troy will just think it over and decide that Jeff's physique and coolness are even awesomer knowing how much work he'd had to put in to be like that, and respects Jeff's manliness even more
annie will give him a hug, say something sweet about how she'll always love him, and worry about his health, because even she read somewhere that taking testosterone makes you more likely to have a heart attack, jeff will explain that the risk is still only as high a cis guy, and she'll be the one to always remind him to take his shots
peirce will say at best say "jeff winger used to be a chick?" and at worst call him a slur, either way there's sure to be a lot of misgendering from him, and pestering to know Jeff's deadname (needless to say, Jeff just doesn't tell peirce)
the whole group goes out of their way to keep their beach trips a secret from pierce (the girls don't want him there anyways, he's too liable to be creepy) even though jeff knows that even if pierce saw his scars, all he would have to do is make up a story about some childhood accident and pierce would never question it
sorry this ended up being super long. can I hear some of your headcanons for him?
YES ALL THIS!!! yes yes i’m fully accepting this as canon oh my god
i’m about to type a whole ass ESSAY at midnight because i have been DYING to talk about this for months ajfdksljk,,, this is going to be obscenely long and i might end up adding even more to it as i continue to rewatch the show because there is truly no shortage of trans jeff content (especially when you’re trans and see transness in every little thing ajdkslfkjs)
spoiler warning for literally everything about this show under the cut <3
i 100% agree, i feel like he realized he was trans super young, especially since in the show we see him as a little kid a couple of times. 
Tumblr media
like look at little jeff with the oversized sweatshirt and little ponytail!! that’s childhood trans fashion. not to be dramatic but part of me thinks that jeff’s dad left before he fully came out to his family (which gives him even more angst about it, because until that one Thanksgiving episode, he’s never able to prove to his dad that he’s a better man), but part of me thinks that his dad left after he came out (which adds that spicy i-should-have-stayed-in-the-closet guilt that he has to work through). 
either way, because his dad wasn’t there, he had to base his concept of masculinity on something else, which was becoming a lawyer!! there’s some line that’s like “after the dust and divorce papers were settled the only man i looked up to was [the lawyer guy]”. like, replacing your father figure in your mind with the concept of “a job where you can talk your way in and out of anything and distort other people’s concept of reality”? that’s trans.
Tumblr media
 and the fucking THANKSGIVING EPISODE... i struggle to watch it without crying hehe <3 yeowch! the dichotomy of willy jr. being the “wrong” kind of man because he’s “too soft” but jeff also not being enough despite adhering to all the social standards of masculinity... fuck!! this whole scene of him telling his dad “i am Not well adjusted” and talking about how he gave himself an “appendix surgery scar” when he was a kid and he still keeps the get-well-soon letters from his classmates under his bed? oh my god. the implication of people loving him not despite his scars but because of them?? trans. i can’t think about this episode for too long or i’ll start yelling.
Tumblr media
OH and this scene? where he talks about how his mom got him a girl costume for halloween?? and everyone said “what a cute little girl” and after a few houses he stopped correcting them?? and “once the shame and the fear wore off, i was just glad they thought i was pretty”?? THAT’S TRANS... the man needs validation oh my god... and then in all the halloween episodes we see he has these ultra-masculine costumes (a cowboy, David Beckham, one of the fast and furious guys even though he never watched the movies, a boxer with his DAD’S boxing gloves... god) costumes are about becoming something else and he always chooses to be hypermasculine and that is trans.
Tumblr media
THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION EPISODE!!!!!!! being uncomfortable during P.E. is a queer experience. period. but him being specifically uncomfortable in the clothes someone else is assigning to him? trans. “are we gonna talk about clothes like a girl? or use tapered sticks to hit balls around a cushioned mat like a man?” TRANS. and him eventually stripping in public? celebration of transness. and the fact that he eventually becomes comfortable in both the uniform and his own style!! trans!! god i love this episode. 
Tumblr media
AND AND AND!!! the gay dean coming out episode!!! where it’s the three of them discussing the best way for the dean to come out as gay despite not entirely identifying with that label!! so we have both frankie and the dean who are sort of ambiguously queer, and jeff who’s a stealth trans man who’s probably only out to only the study group at this point. this scene where the dean and jeff have this like eyebrow communication while frankie is talking is just so cute. queer-to-queer communication. “I am so curious” “oh?” “intellectually.” “oh...” ajfdksljfk this scene just screams high school GSA to me and i love it so much.
Tumblr media
and SPEAKING of the dean!! i totally see you on that. i feel like jeff has some internalized homophobia/biphobia (like he’d throw punches over someone else, but when it comes to himself he has a lot of shame). and also seeing the dean so confident in all his different outfits/costumes has a weird affect on him bc it’s like “okay, the dean, a cis guy, can do that, but i as a trans guy could Not because that’s Breaking the Rules”. which, like, throwback to the halloween thing. of course there’s no right way to be masculine, but mr. winger does not know that.

another thing!! the episode where their emails get leaked? that includes his emails with his therapist. fuck!! he was outed to the whole world in that episode!! no wonder he was so fucking angry!! this whole episode (and really any time he mentions his therapist) is so interesting when you think about them as a person he talks to about his transition. OH which adds to the thing with the dean!! “and you told your therapist you wanted to be alone this weekend” and “not you jeff, i know you’ll be visiting your dad” ”I told you to stop reading my emails”. luckily his study group has his back and just makes fun of him for emailing astronauts lmao
Tumblr media
and WHO can forget “they’re giving out an award for most handsome young man!!!!” what else is there to say about this line besides: he’s trans. you know he didn’t get awarded enough for being a handsome young man when he was a kid, and no amount of compliments when he’s fully-grown can really make up for that. some people crash a kid’s bar mitzvah to cope with the fact that they struggled to be seen as themselves when they were a teenager <3
Tumblr media
also his weird relationship with pierce? where he kind of hates him (understandably lmao) but at times has this almost-friends-almost-father-son relationship with him? especially in this episode where he’s forced to bond with him and ends up having a good time by accident (at a barber shop no less, the perfect place to Be A Man with your Man Friend). idk what to say about him besides the fact that pierce says his mom wanted a girl when he was born and made him dress like a girl (and his middle name is anastasia!) so if they’re gonna do any bonding over transness it’s gonna be that. 
Tumblr media
okay one last thing and then i’ll shut up for the night. this episode kills me (and almost kills jeff hahahahelpi’mcrying). it’s a very Trans thing to not be able to visualize your future self, it just is. growing up trans at the time he did? i don’t know what kind of future he saw for himself, but i’m so happy that he ended up with a group of friends who became his family and love him the way they all do. i’m so emotional over this asshole it’s ridiculous. 
in conclusion:
Tumblr media
they’re trans, your honor <3

Tumblr media
Who says Halloween can’t be romantic?
Pairing: Emo! Jungkook x Reader
Word Count: 3.7k
Genre: fluff
A/N: HI OMG IM SO SORRY THIS IS LATE. I love you, I hope you like it. I’m sorry it isn’t longer but, I still can’t wait for you to read it.
-you never imagined that the quirky lil bakery down the street from your university would change your life  
-But it did
-“Omg shut up, you’re so dumb.”
-“Rawr xD”
-“Did you just say rawr xD out loud??? That totally defeats the purpose of its existence...”
-“Don’t cite the deep magic to me witch, I was there when it was written.”
-“And now you’re quoting the chronicles of narnia- alright just go back to sleep you big dummy...”
-“Mmm but you married a big dummy so what does that say about you”
-“Jungkook don't spoil it oh my god!”
-“Like they don’t know what’s coming already- spoiler alert losers! I get the girl.”
-“I hate you...”
-“Mm yeah- I love it when you talk dirty to me baby. The last time you said that- we ended up fuc-“
-“Ok! That’s enough! Our story begins...”
-Jungkook’s bakery was quite famous around your city
-If people didn’t come for the gaudy Halloween decorations  
-They came for the music  
-Exclusively pop punk, if you’re wondering
-It was like 2009 everyday  
-Which was comforting, considering the world has gotten a little
-Tricky
-Since then
-But anyways
-If they didn’t come for the music or the decorations
-They came for the AMAZING espresso  
-And the spooky themed treats
-But if you’re being honest
-You think the main thing that keeps them coming back
-Is Jungkook  
-If his sweeping black hair didn’t get you
-Or the adorable cheeky twinkle in his eyes
-It was the tattoos and the piercings  
-He looked like he walked right off of a black veil brides music video set  
-He was hot
-This was obvious
-But he didn’t seem to think so
-You had come to the conclusion that he was oblivious  
-he shoved his feet into his big black doc martens every morning  
-Slipped on his beaded bracelets and studded chokers
-Pulled his fall out boy t-shirt over his
-Massive
-Tattooed
-Biceps
-And just thought hm
-I’m pretty average I guess (lol)
-That’s a direct quote from him btw
-Men truly are hopeless
-Jungkook opened the bakery two years ago
-He had mentioned to you that he had saved up money from his 3 part time jobs to put a down payment on the building  
-Which was wedged between a sex shop
-And a thrift store
-And honestly his bakery
-Blackheart Bakery, if you’re being specific  
-Fits right in
-Jungkook refuses to hire new staff
-“They won’t do it right.” He whined to you one day
-“One time I tried to hire this guy and he put the sugared googly eyes on the cookie skeletons ALL WRONG”
-“How do you put googly eyes on wrong?” You had giggled
-“you just do- i- See? This is exactly why I can’t hire anyone...”
-You had started chewing on the end of your pencil in the midst of your laughter
-It was an unconscious habit
-And it makes Jungkook shift uncomfortably, his hands moving off of the top of your table
-“Don’t do that...” he had muttered, smirking to himself as he walked back behind the counter  
-he did that a lot
-He’d mutter something  
-Mildly flirtatious under his breath and then  
-Just walk away
-It was quite confusing
-But honestly you had a feeling he was just a filrty person  
-You certainly weren’t the only girl he smirked at
-Not that you pay attention
-Ok  
-Maybe you do  
-Kinda  
-Pay attention  
-but it’s not your fault!!!!  
-You just  
-Can’t help but feel a little jealous
-You kiiiiiinda have a little thing for him
-Ok
-Maybe it’s a big thing  
-Maybe it’s a massive
-Gigantic
-Towering  
-Crush  
-But look at him!!!
-You simply couldn’t be blamed
-It was his fault  
-Yep
-That’s what you’re going with
-It was Jungkook
-And his tight t shirts
-His ripped jeans
-His dangly earrings
-His tattoos
-His big
-Stupid boots
-Ugh ok
-Focus  
-You have work to do
-The whole reason you began coming to Jungkook's cafe was so you -could find a consistent place to study for your exams
-You were in school to become a teacher :)  
-And teachers have to study very very hard  
-Educating the youth is no easy feat  
-Jungkook had asked what you were studying during the first week you arrived at his spooky house of baked goods
-“Oh I’m an education major”
-“Ahh so you’re getting an education about...education.” He concludes
-“I love it.”
-“So meta.”
-“Are they educating you on the disparities between impoverished children and wealthier children?”
-His wide eyes were brimming with genuine curiosity  
-You kind of got a kick out of how candid he was about such heavy conversation topics
-“Not as much as they should be but, I’m actually writing a paper on a similar topic right now...”
-This caused a brilliant grin to come over his face
-It was almost blinding really
-And it made your heartbeat all wonky  
-“Of course you are. You look smart like that...”
-He had backed away from your table then, seemingly satisfied
-Had you passed the vibe check?
-“I’ll leave you to your paper.” He nodded to your laptop but as he walked away, he pivoted back towards you on and the heel of his combat boot, “welcome to Blackheart Bakery by the way, let me know if I can get you anything.”
-Another brilliant smile is sent your way  
-“Thank you.” You had smiled back, sending a tiny wave his way
-Which in turn, made HIS heartbeat all wonky  
-You’re cute
-Like really cute
-And despite how often it may seem like his eyes are elsewhere
-They are ALWAYS on you
-Every chance he gets he is glancing your way
-Smirking to himself at how endearing you are
-Brow furrowed
-Lips pouted in concentration  
-Completely oblivious to his gaze
-He has to remind himself to look away  
-He doesn’t want to be a creep
-“Creepy men deserved to get kicked in the teeth...”
-He’s said this to you before when another patron had made you uncomfortable
-Jungkook kicked him out immediately  
-“If you don’t leave, I’ll have no choice but to kick you in the teeth. One, because I can’t compromise my personal philosophy and two because you’re making my favorite customer uncomfortable.”
-Oh look there goes your heartbeat again
-WONKY
-The guy leaves in an angry rush, flipping Jungkook off in the process
-Saying something about leaving a bad Yelp review  
-He doesn’t care tho
-He definitely doesn’t want to be a creep
-You’re just so  
-Pretty
-Ugh
-He rolls his eyes at himself behind the espresso bar
-The latte in front of him neglected  
-In need of a bit of foam
-“Focus Jeon, she’s just a chick...”
No wait
-“She’s just a woman. A woman who I respect, like I respect all women...”
-He’s been watching a lot of feminist theory on YouTube
-He likes staying educated  
-And also fuck the patriarchy
-The man waiting for his drink has arched a brow at this point, wondering if his barista has lost his mind
-“Uhhh medium...” he checks the cup for his awful hand writing, “ghostly toasted marshmallow latte!”
-“Thanks.” The guy mutters, throwing a judging look Jungkook's way  
-He gives him a lazy salute as the guy struts away with a briefcase in tow
-“Thaaanks.” Jungkook mocks him, his face scrunching up in annoyance  
-Stupid man
-With his stupid briefcase  
-As Jungkook is pulling out a batch of cream cheese frosting stuffed pumpkin muffins  
-Or as Jungkook calls them
-PUNK-in Muffins
-Movement at the counter catches his eye
-is that
-”oh shit...” He grunts, hastily wiping his hands on his apron and rushing over to the counter
-normally he would meander
-stroll
-or even slump to greet any new guests at this hour
-and by this hour
-he means 45 minutes before closing
-Jungkook’s bakery is open til midnight on weeknights
-9pm on Sundays
-and 3am on Saturdays (for the culture of course, gotta keep it spooky)
-tonight happens to be a Friday night and the person awaiting his assistance is
-you
-”You’re still here?” He gawks, the black polish on his nails glimmering as he punches in a few keys on the register
-You offer him a tired and slightly amused smile, “No. Y/N died around 4:30, you’re speaking to her ghost. Please leave your message after the tone.”
-Jungkook cracks a smile, his palms resting on flat on the counter, “Do ghosts check their voicemails?”
-“Oh of course not but, I will be checking yours because you have access to caffeine.”
-Jungkook laughs
-no...he giggles  
-and it’s fucking cute
-but you digress
-“I feel like I should cut you off...this is your 4th latte; I’m pretty sure you’re 80% caffeine at this point...”
-“Noooo, don’t do that.” You whine slumping against the counter, “I just need to finish this one page...”
-He quirks a brow as he scribbles something on your cup, unimpressed with your statement, “You said that three hours ago. I’ll make you another one but I’m not putting an extra shot in.”
-Your face turns up in protest but he click his tongue against his teeth , shaking a manicured finger at you
-“Ah ah- nope. I don’t want to hear it. You either take that or I’m making you a hot chocolate and shutting the buildings power off.”
-With a dramatic sigh, you concede
-“Ugh fine. Here-” You go to hand him your debit card but he shakes his head
-“Put that away.”
-You want to protest but given the fact that he’s made the rules thus far during this interaction, you doubt you’d be able to stop him.
-A smile appears on your face then, appreciative of his generosity
-“Thank you.”
-He merely grins, waving you off before rolling up the sleeves of his black Blink 182 shirt
-as soon as his tattoos are out
-all the moisture leaves your mouth
-you try your hardest not to stare at him
-expertly, he eases the espresso shots into the milk, tongue poking between his lips in concentration
-and you
-being sleep-deprived
-and a little loopy
-decide to  
-flirt????????
-if you could even call it that
-which you could but you shouldn’t
-“For the record, when I finally dig my way out of this of mountain of death I’m stuck in, I will definitely take you up on that hot chocolate...”
-Jungkook’s brow quirks at the tone of your voice, his hands suddenly itching with nerves
-was that
-was that flirty?
-should he flirt back?
-“My hot chocolate is legendary. You won’t be disappointed.” His lips display a small grin as he places the lid atop your finished latte, “Also mountain of death is a great name and I WILL be stealing it.”
-You giggle
-again
-“and I WILL be suing you for copyright.”
-He laughs now, wiping up the bit of milk he spilled
-the sinewy muscles in his forearm tensing and untensing
“Good luck getting me to show up to court.”
-and that’s kinda how it was between you and Jungkook
-for like six months
-it was a little bit flirty but never anything to push either over you over the edge.
-and speaking of being on edge
-recently, you had gone from vacationing in your timeshare on the edge
-to signing a 35 year mortgage contract  
-4 bedrooms
-2.5 bathrooms
-of pure
-unrelenting
-stress
-you could feel it in the middle of your back
-shoving itself up between your shoulder blades
-your body seemed to ache with it
-the worst part being
-it was Halloween
-You should be out with your friends, having fun
-wearing itchy costumes and drinking sugary drinks
-but instead, your headed towards the bakery to work
-Jungkook was behind the counter, smiling happily at a family dressed like the cast of scooby doo
-from what you could see he was wearing a skeleton onesie
-his jet black hair tousled perfectly above his head
-he looked adorable
-(and hot)
-He notices you instantly, his face turning up in surprise
-you offer up a small wave and head over to your table
-you know he’s going to say something about you being there but
-you don’t really have much of a choice
-this work has to be done
-it takes him a second to spot you but when he does
-he seems to perk up
-his smile brightening as he looks back towards his customer
-as you’re setting everything up, you feel a presence (not the spooky kind) at the end of your table
-it’s Jungkook and he has your regular order in one hand, along with something wrapped in skeleton-patterned parchment paper
-“I know, I know.” You acknowledge before he’s even able to chide you for being here
-He smirks “What are you doing studying on the holiest day of the year??”
-You giggle
-“The holiest day of the year huh?”
-“Of course. Halloween is the one night a year that the homies can dress like total -sluts and no one can say anything about it.”
-This makes you giggle again
-“And you went with slutty skeleton huh? I love it- it’s like as naked as you can possibly get.”
-He chuckles, gesturing to his costume
-His floppy black hair getting in his face
-“Damn right baby.”
-The way he grins tells you the pet name is a joke
-But the deepening of his voice gets to you anyway
-“Thank you for this. I promise I’ll get out of your hair early tonight.”
-“The only thing I’m worried about getting out of my hair is this white spray paint. You’re welcome to stay as long as you want.”
-He’s put a streak of white spray paint in his raven locks
-Why? You’re not certain
-Does it look good on him, like everything else does?
-Absolutely
-Its been a few hours since your night of studying began
-Jungkook’s dropped off two free lattes since you’ve arrived  
-As well as a slice of his ‘I write cinnamon not tragedies’ bread
-Which was equally hilarious and delicious
-You caught him glancing over at your table a few times but you didn’t think anything of it
-He’s probably just checking to make sure that no one needs your table
-His bakery is packed most nights but Halloween is a special night at Blackheart Bakery
-He has a trick or treat counter set up with free (homemade) candy
-A photo op complete with a fake haunted house backdrop
-A Halloween playlist
-And a bunch of discounts on his signature lattes and food
-you watch him amongst the chaos
-He is completely unfazed
-He seems elated at the amount of customers he has
-he grins and laughs at something a man dressed like Thor says at his counter
-he seems entirely in his element
-you realize that the denial tactics you’ve been trying out haven’t been working
-because this floppy haired, tattooed, slutty skeleton/baker kind of has a hold on your heart
-you’ve been friends for a long time now
-he always makes sure you’re taken care of
-he always asks if you’re ok
-he always gives you this little grin
-it feels like a secret sometimes
-but maybe it’s been his way of letting you know where he stands
-he’s been bringing you lattes and pastries for months now
-he never charges you full-price
-he always reminds you not to work too hard
-he
-fuck
-he likes you doesn’t he?
-you look back over at the counter to see him bending over and handing a skeleton cookie to a little girl dressed like Captain Marvel
-he laughs at something she says
-his eyes focused entirely on her and whatever she seems to be proclaiming to him  
-your heart goes wonky again
-alright
-enough is enough
-you’re doing this  
-Jungkook’s done so much of the work thus far
-it’s time for you to seal the deal
-and if he rejects you, well…
-you can just crawl into a hole and never come out again
-easy peasy
-You can feel his eyes on you as you get up to take your place in line
-luckily there isn’t anyone else behind you
-rejection with an audience would certainly be worse
-Jungkook has his witty comment ready for you as you approach the register
-“I know for a fact you haven’t finished your third latte and I’m not making you another one until-“
-“I’m not here for another latte.” You laugh, trying to ignore the thrashing of your heartbeat
-“No? Well, are you finally going to try my Welcome to the Blackened Chicken Parade Burger then? I’ve been asking you for like three weeks…”
-god he’s fucking cute
-“I’m here to ask you out.”
-Jungkook swears he feels his heart stop
-“You’re here to…”
-He repeats the first part of your response as his he didn’t hear you
-his black fingernails anxiously tapping against the countertop
-“I’m here to ask you out- on a date.”
-Jungkooks face seems to go through various stages of confusion before a shy smirk presents itself on his pretty mouth
-“Me? You’re asking me-“ He places a hand on his chest, “-out on a date?”
-“Yes!” You laugh, slapping the counter a bit too hard, your nerves getting the best of you, “Are you down?”
-He shakes his head but his answer contradicts his movements
-“So down, beyond down. There is no one on Earth who is more DOWN than I am. Yes. My answer is yes. 50000% yes.”
-you can’t help the smile on your lips
-“great. So are you free next Friday then?”
-He grins with his teeth this time, nodding emphatically  
-“Consider the shop closed.”
-and so it was
-you returned to your table moments later  
-feeling on top of the world
-you did it
-you asked Jungkook out
-and he said yes
-and now you
-NOW YOU HAVE A DATE WITH JUNGKOOK
-LOOK AT YOU GO
-TAKING CHARGE
-you try your best to engage with your studies but with Jungkook on your mind
-its really hard
-roughly two hours later, things at the bakery have finally started to slow down
-“Hey uh- Y/N?”
-Jungkook's voice that pulls you out of your studying trance
-he’s standing at the entrance of his back room, waving you over with his hand
-and who are you to deny him?
-you make your way over there, annoyed at the instant increase in your heartrate
-he stands awkwardly to the side and gestures to the boxes on the metal rack
-“I just remembered that I’ve never given you a tour of the place. I give all my regulars a tour of the stockroom and my office and uh-”
-he cuts himself off and clumsily cups your cheek
-he pulls you into a kiss
-a really good kiss
-his lips are so warm
-he smells like cinnamon
-you could literally die happy
-The ridiculous nature of his first attempt to kiss you, makes you giggle into his mouth
-you feel him smile, his hands smushing your cheeks together as he pulls away
-“Ok I lied. There is no tour. I’ve just been watching you focus on your computer for the last two hours and you’re just really fucking cute and-”
-this time, it’s you who cuts him off
-“You better give me an actual tour next time. How else am I going to steal your secret recipes?”
-he scoffs in mock offense
-“Ah ha! So that’s the only reason you asked me out huh? Should I be calling you Plankton instead of Y/N? Ew no wait- that would make me Mr. Krabs and he’s a dirty capitalist...”
-You laugh, “Oooh good point. Guess you’ll just have to be Karen, my computer wife.”
-This makes him laugh now and the sound warms your soul
-“I could live with that- I like your last name better anyways.”
-with another kiss, your adventure with the emo baker of your dreams begins
-It may have been Halloween but it sure felt like Christmas to you

Everything I learned or experienced from watching the commentary track for “Community”:
*deep breath*
The Pierce writing the Greendale song subplot had a darker version cut by NBC.
Pierce helping Troy with sneezing had a cut Chevy line: “you used to be the big man on campus AND NOW YOU’RE A JOKE.”
Chevy Chase seems to not know what ecstasy is.
Dan Harmon definitely is familiar with it.
There was a shooting at the school they filmed the debate scenes at which put the cast and crew into lockdown. 
Joel McHale received emails from church groups regarding the content of his “Man is Evil” debate.
Donald Glover hits on Yvette Nicole Brown in a Barack Obama impression.
Chevy Chase loves being behind a piano.
He also loves doing prat falls.
He improvised calling his beastmaster owl “Abed” in Introduction to Statistics.
Jack Black filmed his episode in one day.
Annie having sex with a guy, him revealing himself to be gay, and her never seeing his genitalia was drawn from Alison Brie’s life.
According to Dan Harmon, Slater is supposed to be the Jolie to Britta’s Aniston. 
Dan Harmon was worried people would think he was ripping of Funny or Die with Jeff and Slater’s relationship declaration form.
The cast of Derrick Comedy is Pierce’s joke team in Romantic Expressionism. 
Yvette Nicole Brown came up with the Burt and Ernie tag.
Craig Cackowski is on the show because his sister wrote for the show.
JUST MY OPINION, but Chevy Chase and Dan Harmon seemed quite appreciative of each other in the first season. 
The “Goldbluming” joke was a big point of contention between Joe and Anthony Russo.
I can’t confirm... but it really sounds like the show killed a frog for Britta’s prank. 
The Starburns - Abed chicken scene was an intentional homage to Heat.
Abed and Jeff are both cut off from people according to Dan Harmon. The difference is that Jeff can manipulate people and Abed covets that ability.
Jeff and Britta had sex in Modern Warfare partially to make the episode important to the overall story’s structure (in addition to it being the first real high concept episode).
Abed wears a Boondocks shirt because Sony owned it and it was free to use by the show. 
Dan Harmon does not respect Good Will Hunting as a movie.
The “so it begins, the greatest relationship ever known” kiss took 30 takes.
Betty White did not know Toto’s Africa before filming her rap.
The music budget for the second season was entirely spent on Abba music for Epidemiology. Dan Harmon paid out of pocket for the Sara Bareillis song they use in Paradigms of Human Memory. 
In Calligraphy, Gwynnifer is named after Dan Harmon’s twitter “nemesis”. He confirmed it is a code name for Britta, who had been hooking up with Jeff since the space bus. 
Dan Harmon repeatedly refers to Jeff and Britta as the inverse of Jim and Pam from The Office.
Bruce Hornsby was supposed to punch Pierce in the season one finale. 
Chevy Chase was upset with how cruel Pierce was in Advanced Dungeons in Dragons.
Levar Burton changed the line from “more fish for Levar” to “more fish for Kunta”.
The joke of the tag where no one says anything to each other while they surf their phones is supposed to be that it took place on Britta’s birthday, but the writers realized that it was the wrong time of year. 
Dan Harmon paid for that Sara Bareillis song because it was set over the first Jeff x Annie shipper video he had seen. 
The dean’s cartoon tag exists because Paradigms of Human Memory is somehow the only episode that came in UNDER expected time. 
At the end of Competitive Wine Tasting, Abed was supposed to hear a gunshot coming from Stephen Tobolowsky’s office after proving Angela was, in fact, the boss on Who’s the Boss?
Yvette Nicole Brown calls Gillian Jacobs “Stinkerton” for some reason.
No one on the commentary was happy with the Jeff calling Annie “kiddo” scene in Geography of Global Conflict. Actors, directors, nobody. 
Chevy Chase told Maggie Bandur that she shouldn’t write comedy. 
Dan Harmon tweeted as all the characters for #AnniesMove.
Dan Harmon realized the sound was off to Abed and Troy’s Christmas Rap while doing the commentary.
Dan Harmon said a lot of the planning in season three was about minimizing Chevy’s contact with the cast and crew.
Gillian Jacobs said she didn’t move much in Virtual Systems Analysis when Abed wasn’t supposed to be inhabiting her. (My opinion: none of the other characters seem to follow her rule.)
Alison Brie raps on set a lot.
Gillian Jacobs was in an Apple PC commercial that never aired. 
Dino Stamatopoulos repeatedly requested to be killed off the show.
Jim Rash’s stand-in was bronzed to fill in for Danny Pudi who was absent while his wife was having twins. 
Jim Rash was in and out for a bit while winning an Oscar for The Descendants.
Dean Laybourne was self-conscious about his appearance to justify John Goodman’s appearance for another movie. 
Moses Port said the opening of season four was supposed to be a fake out to make people think the show suddenly sucked.
Annie’s The Ring entrance was filmed backwards then run in reverse.
Britta’s ham costume had to be recolored to prevent her from looking like a scrotum. 
Intro to Knots was originally supposed to be filmed in one shot as an homage to Rope. The first two minutes was all they managed to get through. 
Gillian Jacobs says Troy and Britta have nothing in common.
According to Dan Harmon, Chevy Chase was happy to do his scene in season five and was open to coming back for more.
According to Dan Harmon, even if he wanted Chevy Chase back, Sony would have refused his return to the show.
Jonathan Banks told Christopher McKenna that he would “punch him in the heart” which Dan Harmon wrote into the show. 
It is all butt confirmed that Annie is the Ass Crack Bandit.
Advanced Advanced Dungeons and Dragons was so behind schedule that it totally rushed/altered the season five finale. 
Dan Harmon says Jeff shares things with Britta that he doesn’t with Annie but feels things for Annie that he doesn’t with Britta.
Dan Harmon and Paget Brewster were good friends before she joined the show.
Frankie’s backstory is that she is moving to Colorado to take care of her handicapped sister.
Chang is actually gay.

YGO Protagonists
Atem:
*Oldest brother... Literal dad
*Is very protective over the rest of them
*Seriously don't touch a hair on their heads because you will lose your soul.
*He totally has Kaiba on Speed dial and calls him over the dumbest things to get a rise out of him (but they are friendly?( Seto would also murder you dead if you hurt these munchkins he just won't admit it... (I will not apologise for this)
*Does not understand memes (mee mee's?) but tells dad puns for days.
*Always gives compliments and gives great life/dueling advice to the rest (puts a hand on their shoulders with that knowing and proud look).
*Will spend hours bragging about how far Judai's come, how smart and talented Yusei and Yusaku, how Yuya and Yuga created original dualing rules, how Yugi is awesome. He will tell anyone and everyone (they all secretly love it)
Yugi Mouto:
*Younger older brother? (identical twins but younger of the two)
*Super optimistic, always there to lend a hand and is very pacifistic... but will throw hands if the situation requires and without hesitation.
*Has Kaibaman in his deck to spite Kaiba (it works every time)
*HE SHARPENS HIS HAIR!
*Yes it can pierce a wall... It was for science.
*Usually the one to help escalate the chaos, and than pretends to have no idea why the house is upside down... And on fire... And the fire is green.
*Is the only one other than Atem to get Yusei to go to sleep.
*He loves puzzles, telling riddles and leaving little clues around the house for the others to solve (and they always get a present even if they get it wrong because they tried.)
*Doesn't see anything wrong with his fashion sense.
Judai Yuki:
*Problem child 1, needs a hug
*Memelord, will constantly troll Atem with movie references, and anything he can think of. (Yes he does quote the star wars prequels during duals.)
*Yubel makes sure he's looking after himself and has woven their way into the family. They and Astral have fun conversations. (Pharaoh the cat gets on very well with Atem... Werid.)
*Either he's happy, outgoing and herding the younger kids into various pranks. Rounding up Yuya, Yuma, Yuga and Yugi into his antics, (we don't speak of the Eggwitch incident). Sometimes he manages to drag Yusaku in to join them, giving them all a part to play and praising their efforts (they haven't been caught)
*OR he's depressed, haunted and full of guilt. He finds comfort by spending time with the others, hating being on his own. Everyone even those fairly reserved pick up on his mood and direct him to different tasks. Especially with Yuya, both of them can talk for hours about what ifs, shoulds and shouldn'ts.
*Favourite non dualing activity is helping Yusei to bake, he has burned many a cookie but he loves icing cakes.
*Very protective, will tap into the power of the Supreme King and Yubels abilities sometimes as unconsciously when one of the others are upset, or he's pushed into a corner.
Yusei Fudo:
*Oldest after the twins, literal mum
*Can't take care of himself to save his life but cares deeply for the others. Packing them lunches, helping them with school work etc.
*Takes Yusaku under his wing as soon as he sees his tech skills, both of them stay up for hours working on projects until Yugi scolds them at 4 am.
*Always half asleep, covered in oil and holding a cup of coffee (no he doesn't have a problem.) He mumbles codes and always seems to fall asleep holding a wrench.
*Usually he's accompanied by Yuga or Yusaku, either sitting and asking questions about their projects or working on a shared on/Yusaku's own stuff. He doesn't like working alone so it works out.
*Can do the "Mum look" and it has stopped the Supreme King, Dark Zexal and Zarc in their tracks.
*Card games on Motorcycles...having his bike borrowed by the little ones who want to play a card game on a bike but aren't old enough or know how to drive.
*Likes to bake, learned from Martha to give the others birthday treats and finds it fun.
*Claims he can never get sick... Liar.
Yusaku Fujiki
*Problem child 2 (all problem children need hugs and therapy, Kaiba get your wallet)
*Tried to stay closed off from the others but finds he enjoys their company and their antics.
*He has a Metapod hoodie that Yuya won at a carnival and gifted him. He wears it all the time, its cosy.
*Pretty Awkward, very cold sometimes without meaning it but somehow there all able to understand what he means without getting upset or offended.
*He spends hours working on projects with Yusei, neither talk much and it's a comfortable silence. Yuga often accompanies them, full of questions and joy and he enjoys sharing his work.
*Prefers to watch the others dual than to dual himself, absorbing the strategies and while he doesn't quite understand their motives... He finds himself smiling at Yuya's shows, wondering what he means with his smiling routine.
*Offhandedly told Kaiba that he fixed some holes in his security system. Kaiba went on a firing spree (yes with his firing people coat) and his was promptly hired. He actually enjoys it, and is now Kaiba's favourite brat.
*Also... The missing persons list is growing after Yusaku finally opened up about his past.... Werid.
Yuya Sakaki
*Problem child 3 (see above)
*Smiles go for miles
*Finds a lot of comfort from the others. The first time he let slip about Zarc, Judai was right there with his glowing green/orange eyes and they bonded instantly.
*He tries to only dual for entertainment and fun but that can't always be the case, though it really rattles him up afterwards. Do not make him mad in a dual if you value your life.
*Plays a lot with Yuma and Yuga, as the oldest of the trio he tries to set an example... He never said it was a good one....hes part of Zarc.
*He always has a game, an idea and the others will always be his faithful audience. He's made real solid dualing into an art, Atem and Judai have made his monsters real at times without the need for the tech (it was beautiful)
*Starts the appreciate Dragons Fanclub with Yusei and Kaiba.
*Yes to capes (Sorry Edna)
*Fusion dimension isn't available at the moment... Or the forceable future.
Yuma Tsukumo
*Second youngest, space boy
*Atem gives him advice and praises every one of his duals even he loses, teaching him that every one can be used as a step towards success.
*Astral befriends Yubel, and often makes remarks at the Zarc fragments, he and Yuuri get on the others nerve.
*He spends most of his time with Yuya and Yuga, either dualing, watching Yuya dualtain or pranking. He started their lengendary prank war against Judai and Yugi...(Yusei was out of the house for a week and Atem gave up). It was a battle for the ages.
*He does worry at times that he's so behind the others skill's levels but as he gets closer to them it matters less. He cheers on every one of them, bragging about how cool they are.
*He takes up other hobbies, baking, cooking, and dragging everyone into family game nights. Which all end fine and do not result in a pissed of Zarc threathing Wario before kicking his switch out of a window... Nope absolutely not.
*Has a constellation book.
*Likes using big words he doesn't know the meaning off. And than trying and failing to convince everyone he knows exactly what he just said without googling it... While Astral facepalms, definitely picked it up from Yusei.
Yuga Ohda
*Tiny baby
*Yugi picked him up once and everyone starting to sing "it's the circle of life."
*He loves watching Yusei and Yasuke work, because they answer his questions properly and look at his inventions with respect and a critical but kind eye. They slowly teach him his to improve and it shows in his work.
*All of them were interested in his Rush duals and listen to him explain, finding it interesting and another new way to play.
*Yuya teaches him how to dualtain, both of them putting on hippo-tastic shows for their friends and loved ones. Fulfilling their goals to have fun.
*He steals everyone's hoodies and jackets, doesn't care how big they are he will steal them and wear them. And look adorable despite his argument that he isn't.
*Everyone is the most protective of him as he's the youngest and while he's touched, he's super protective over them and offers himself as a cuddle buddy whenever anyone has nightmares.
And there all one big crazy family
