I do like Temenos as a character, but for me, that rests heavily on the condition that he just bottles up each tragedy that hits him (Roi, the Pontiff, [REDACTED]) for the sake of getting to the bottom of the corruption in the Church, and that as soon as the group defeats The Big Bad (as in, on the stairs back down), it hits him like a truck and he breaks like a dam 😢

infinite wealth if sawashiro said "who gives a shit about ebina im going to hawaii with ichi" and then the rest of the game is a family vacation
Tumblr media
#Ok so here's my dream scenario. It starts w kicking kiryu out of the narrative bc girl. I love the guy but he does not need to be here!!#kicking him out of the narrative also banishes the ebina stuff. I'm still keeping him around but#he'll be basically built up to be the main antagonist of 9. We're ONLY focusing on the cult stuff for 8#the way 8 closes him off is already sequel bait so give him a proper focus game w 9#Anyways now that that's out of the way. My worstie sawashiro does indeed become a party member.#His moveset is mostly blade damage w some blunt damage mixed in. YES I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT GAME MECHANICS#His singular elemental move is him flicking a cigarette at the enemy. Yes this is based off of that one scene w ichi in 7#ANYWAYS I HAVE MANY IDEAS I CANT TYPE THEM ALL OUT RN BUT. FAMILY VACATION ARC. PLEASE#ITS INSANE TO ME HOW KASUGA 'I LOVE MY FAMILY' ICHIBAN WAS NOT ALLOWED TO PROPERLY INTERACT W HIS FAMILY???#AND THE MAJORITY OF SAWASHIROS CONFLICT INCLUDED CAST MEMBERS WHO DIDNT GIVE A SINGLE SHIT ABOUT HIM????#I keep thinking back on that scene where ebina shows him passed out on that chair and THE INTENDED AUDIENCE FOR#THAT SCENE WAS AN OCEAN AWAY LIKE GIRL. WHAT WAS THE POINT???#well another perspective of that scene would be that sawashiro would be glad that ichi wasn't the one that came to rescue. which is. Misery#me when characters are defined by their guilt 💥💥💥💥😵💥💥💥😵‍💫💥💥💥😱💥💥💥💥😫💥💥💥#Well. If y'all read all these tags. thanks. If anyone is curious about this self indulgent au that I've created feel free to hit me up#(Please hit me up I'm desperate to talk abt the arakawa family misery and I deeply wish this game was even more miserable)#rgg#nile talks

when i was 12 this was the coolest most mindblowing shit ever i was genuinely so obsessed with it I'd read it very day like the bible. I would die for a version of this with the post 3D world content over my country
#i hve vs super mario bros on my switch bc i wanted to chronologically play through the storied hero timeline and i couldnt find a rom#I think it has the same appeal as spid.erverse kinda except instead of multiple different people filling the same role as sp.iderman its#the same guy it's still mario but the changes come from things going differently at certain points in his life do you GET ME!!#LIKE!!!!!!!! MOST OF IT'S DETERMINED BY WHAT HAPPENS IN YOSHIS ISLAND AND THERES ALTERNATIVE PATHS IF HE WINS OR FAILS!!! GAME OVERS HAVE#CONSEQUENCES THAT BRANCH INTO THEIR OWN TIMELINES MARIO CAN END UP WITH DIFFERENT PARENTS ITS SO COOLLLLLL#and i love how each of the major branches has their own theme like “action hero” is the one with all the gameplay-focused#mainline titles “storied hero” is the one with all the M&L rpgs and more plot-heavier stuff and “blue collar hero” is this third one#with all the donkey kong titles and wackier/arcade titles WHERE i might add his design had a blue shirt and red overalls#and the tl builds off of those games into nsmb so i like to hc that he kept his early 80s design well into the later games <-autistic sorry#AND how thetimelines represent how their different backstories have influenced their personalities and thought processes a little like#what happened to mario in the blue collar branch like he either becomes EVILL!!!! and kidnaps donkey kong leading to dkjr or#divorces peach and has a self isolation arc after nsmb2 whats going on w him...#and i LOVE how all of them have a sort of common event where bowser invades the mushroom kingdom and in each timeline its#represented by a different variation of the original super mario bros game with action hero's event being represented by smb itself#which is fitting since thats the branch where mario and luigi ended up with their intended parents and everything went as planned#and i think a general theme here is that the more things go against intention the sillier it gets dont even get me STARTED on the time#travel shenanigans in bottom right which lead into the handheld remakes i love this so much its unreal#i do wish paper mario wasnt explained away as a dream but like thats its whole other world and art style and itd be difficult#to fit it into one of the major branches so i get why it was done. i probably wouldve just given it its own isolated bubble in the corner#at that rate i probably wouldve added so much more shit to the main tl im talking game&watch games i look at this and i see a pitch#for a full feature length autism production you understand

Mario kart mains 0 explanation:
Bruce - Dry Bowser
Dick - Shy Guy (magenta)
Cass - Daisy (likes her taunts; plays baby peach whenever she goes 1 on 1 with anybody - only plays dry bones when she plans on spamming her items)
Jason - Bowser Jr
Tim - Baby Luigi
Steph - Waluigi (she likes the way his legs bend - used to be iggy but found out the circles around his eyes are glasses, called him a nerd, and never picked him again)
Duke - Baby Peach (is mad there’s no Kirby)
Damian - Yoshi (switches the colors out when he feels like it but usually pink)
Bonus Terry - Wario (likes his taunts and usually pairs him with a super fast car and good traction wheels to balance it all out)
Bonus Matt - Isabella (used to play DK but thinks it’s funnier to absolutely demolish everybody with Isabella. Will occasionally go for toadette or a baby. Has never lost.)
#I’m slow on the arrowfam reading list so I’m scared to make a main post about them bc i don’t like being wrong#however#in my Mind#Ollie goes for king boo bc he rllly likes his taunts#and he thinks it’s funny to start explaining why he chose a king even tho he doesn’t fw monarchies to distract ppl when he’s in 2nd or 3rd#Dinah plays rose gold peach or metal Mario she says she needs to match the trophies she’s gonna win -has never won a game in her life-#Roy plays Roy but he didn’t know his name was Roy at first he just thought the glasses absolutely fucked#when he’s playing outside the fam he uses dry bowser#Mia plays lemme she thinks he’s the funniest little thing ever and wants to hold him in her pocket and squish him#will also play inkling girl and customize to match whoever she will be cheating with#nobody’s clocked it but Dinah#emiko LOOOOVES dks taunts but cannot drive with him so she usually ends up switching to Lakitu#will always say she saved anybody who fell off the map and should therefore be given a 10 seconds head start#the one time they granted it she revved the engine too much spluttered fell off the map and then drifted the wrong way#12th place by far - Mia was lapping hee#Connor originally played dry bones or link and picked peach once and was sold#not even for the aesthetic (tho he ALWAYS matches the bike the wheels the parachute etc.)#but bc he actually drives really well with her and never gets lower than 5th when playing#which doesn’t seem like much but the arrowfam focuses way too much on objects and not the actual racing#so they’ll successfully calculate where to throw a green shell that’ll hit 1 person and cause another to swerve into a bomb#but theyll fall of the map and start going backwards right after god bless them#lian plays bowser or squidling boy and has never been beaten but she thinks MK is kinda boring#she’s a mortal Kombat kinda girl#fuck the timeline she and Matt have a video game competition going rn they’re neck and neck#but they keep looking for rlly obscure games bc none of them want it to come down to smash. they both suck at it and won’t admit it.#bonus hal#god bless him he sucks squinting at the screen running into banana then bomb then off the map going backwards sucks#he plays the koopa troopa#he and Dinah have a not last competition and it’s infuriating to play with them bc everyone will have mapped them 17 times#and theyll still be trash talking eachother like it’s neck and neck at 1st and 2nd - ok that’s alll baiii

What's your love language?
Tumblr media
Quality Time™
In Quality Time™, nothing says “I love you” like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there—with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby—makes you feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed activities, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful. Whether itʼs spending uninterrupted time talking with someone else or doing activities together, you deepen your connection with others through sharing time.

So I can't get this out of my head so is Jeremiah cold blooded or warm blooded I mean he's a groomda But they're like humans right I'm very confused .
Ty for asking anon! I am FULLY prepared to go into a lil ramble abt Jeremiah’s weird biology situation here. I mean, dude gets shot in the chest (based on the location, he should’ve been shot on the heart or at least a lung) but then…is able to move around fine. He goes on a dangerous mission, he fucking scales walls (p sure he does his when you enter Bryce’s room as weasel kid), etc. He doesn’t behave like someone who got shot in an organ, despite the fact that characters very much so can die from getting shot anywhere an organ is (like Jay or all the npcs in the gameworks base). More info under the cut. Tldr tho: Cold blooded, I just feel like going on a ramble about character creation, specifically Jeremiah’s
So yeah, I briefly mentioned this in my latest fic, but Jeremiah is notably cold as a corpse. He *is* alive, I should say that, he bleeds in canon and then in my fic gets flustered, but he’s still cold. I’d imagine Groondas ARE warm, they are living beings after all, Jeremiah’s just the big ol’ exception. Everything about how he works is weird. Basis for this hc is admittedly snatched from @/hrokall (p sure i reblogged the post), but still.
What makes Jeremiah different though is purely because of him being a glitch. We don’t know much about the actual creation itself, and even what we do know, just feels. Odd. Ignoring the contradictory stuff though (‘Lionel created a groonda’ vs Lionel saying Irving made the npcs), the way I see it is that a character becomes, well, a character once they have all their assets and coding and stuff. Stuff like animations, sprites, dialogue, all that fun stuff. Bare minimum npcs like Captain Barnay don’t have much in the way of personality or dialogue because they don’t need it, making them flat characters. Even Junior in SoL primarily repeats “Hi!” or “Hi…” the entire time. Playable characters have more assets + files, and are completely sentient and able to do as they please (save for Rust for non-self-aware reasons) due to feeling like legitimate people.
So, for whatever reason, maybe something to do with swk, Lionel was fucking around with the Groonda files, and just. Completely forgot to save the files. He was 12 at the oldest, can’t really blame him for being forgetful here. But because the Gameworks is, in the video game universe, a real life corporation with employees and bosses and the such, they had all these files that should be gone due to being unsaved, but they’ve got all that work done, so the assets and such essentially become corrupted. Hence Jeremiah’s creation. He’s essentially a huge fucking glitch in the system, and, well, unsaved files go missing, and the in-game version of missing files would likely be a ‘dead’ character. Essentially like a zombie or a ghost. Something that should be dead, but isn’t.
So basically the long story short of it all is that Jeremiah’s essentially an undead creature. He still has blood flow, but like I said before, he’s as cold as a corpse. One day I’ll properly get into how I see the needs and stuff of characters and how the amount of assets/files affects them, but. This is a Jeremiah centric post and I’m trying my best to keep it that way

WHAT GOD ARE YOU?
– VESPER MOXLEY: Mirror God
You are a reflected God, trapped by a curse. Changing form as interesting things pass your little window into the world. You emulate the beautiful faces you see as they get made up and powdered before airing on television. You emulate the quaint little farms that run on commercials for cranberries. You copy these bits and pieces of media, these TV people, these ideals, into an identity. You know you are something quite different.. but do not remember what you were or what you liked before becoming a reflection. You know one day you will leave this mirror and you will not look the way you wish to, it scares you. Why does it scare you?
(+ i took it twice for vesper because i was so hmmmm about the result and now the two combined are making me sob)
Void Ghost
You have not yet been born into belief. Why don’t you believe in yourself? It's very critical to existing at this stage. You're floating around, for now, looking for your place in the new and rapidly changing world of humans.
– FENIX HAYES: God of the Unused Fireplace
You are a very powerful fire demon (you think so anyway). Since this house was built in 2008 with an electric heater, the occupants have never called upon you. You wonder what you would do if they lit you up (burn the place down probably). You want to roar ferociously and combust into a fire the size of the sun! For now, you lay in the hearth invisibly next to unlightable decorative candles and wait.
– DANIEL MOXLEY: Gust God
You were born free! As free as the grass grows! You could go in so many directions right now you might pull yourself apart trying. There are kites to fly and wheat to whip through and birds to knock around and- Oh no, you’ve tornadoed an old woman’s garage sale sign away. Go pick that up!
– VIOLANTE WAESPHINE: Void Ghost
You have not yet been born into belief. Why don’t you believe in yourself? It's very critical to existing at this stage. You're floating around, for now, looking for your place in the new and rapidly changing world of humans.
– ZEFYR: Force of Flood
It’s torture. You feel every blade of grass, every kitchen tile, every little set of running feet as you consume the land. You don’t mean to! You’re so angry! Why do they treat you this way!? You were an ocean spirit once, calmly sending waves and rains inland. The people were happy, you were pristine. Now every summer they have only built more, dumped more, stole more from you, WHY COULDN'T THEY BE HAPPY WITH THE RAINS AND GRASSES? "I WILL WASH AWAY YOUR ROADS! I WILL SOONER WIPE YOU FROM THE EARTH THAN SUCCUMB TO YOUR SLOW POISONING!", you bellow from roiling brown flood plains.
#tag games#for now i put the ocs banners on timeout bc i don't like them anymore but i have no time to do them but i also wanted to this so yea <3#i will proceed to scream now. like we all do.#VESPER RESULTS HAVE ME SOBBING TEARS. but also Thinking u know? i'm like. this makes sense if you think of the whole johnny problem slowly#killing her and erasing her. so THROWS UP. but in general i feel like ves sometimes is so focused on OTHERS that sometimes she forgets she's#a person on her own too and mmmh urghhh i gotta think of this. fenix result is sooo good. just let me say that this man could be way more#unhinged than what he shows. i think that if he Snapped for good smth terrible would happen. let's leave him to chill really..#daniel well..he's free. he really is but the tempest he brings with his freedom can be scary and bring disaster and like ok funky little man#we enjoy to see you end up in trouble but what if one day your actions will bring consequences to your loved ones? ever thought of that?#violante being void ghost...won't go into here bc i might cry. she never had a place where to belong i'm uGH WE WILL NOT TALK. and zefyr..oh#zefyr my beloved...they are just a complete vulcano of rage and death and this is already too long but i sooo see this with their background#and just I SEE THIS PERFECTLY. YOU GO FUNKY LITTLE TIEFLING MAKE EVERYONE SUCCUMB!!#also was i the only one to get void ghost for my ocs?? DID I FUCK THEM UP THAT BAD THAT THEY ARE VOID GHOSTS?? HELLO????#oc: vesper#oc: fenix#oc: daniel#oc: violante#oc: zefyr

GOJO SATORU: ❛❛ YES, I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND, AND YES, SHE'S REAL! ❜❜
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
.ೃ࿐ streamer!au: what happens when your gamer boyfriend brings you on-screen for the first time?
contents: fem!reader. use of she/her pronouns + reader is referred to as gojo's girlfriend. toji slander bcs he deserves it.
author's note: everyone welcome streamer!gojo to the world! he'll be here for a while...
Tumblr media
"oh, please," satoru laughs, leaning back and grinning at the screen in front of him. he tosses his hair, but it falls back into his eyes just seconds later. "no way you guys all thought i would lose that one. c'mon, have some faith in me!"
you watch satoru reply to the hundreds of comments lighting up the side of his monitor, smiling endearingly at the way he laughs at some and practically chortles at others.
it was only after the two of you started dating that satoru disclosed his streaming hobby, and to your surprise, he was pretty popular. thousands of people tuned in to watch him play some game or another every night, and well, it paid better than you'd expect.
satoru whistles, hands resting comfortably behind his head as a particular question catches his attention. "ah, do i have a girlfriend?" he muses, grinning as he shoots a quick side-glance at you. "yeah," he continues, snorting when what looks like a flurry of no fucking way's flood the chat.
he clicks his tongue disappointedly, shaking his head in mock disbelief. "what, did all eight thousand of you think i couldn't pull? thanks a lot," satoru deadpans, waving his hand and sighing dramatically. "i don't know what any of you mean. i'm a catch!"
you snicker at that, and your laughter only increases when satoru turns and gapes at you. he juts his bottom lip out, face sinking into an adorable pout at he crosses his arms. "even my own girlfriend's laughing at me," he mumbles petulantly. "hmph!"
satoru sticks his tongue out at you childishly, and you blow a kiss back. he pretends to faint before turning back to his monitor, quickly skimming the comments before he gasps. "what do you mean, she probably doesn't exist?!" he sputters, clutching his heart exaggeratedly.
the look on his face is priceless — imagine getting told by thousands of people that one, they think you can't pull, and two, that they don't even believe your significant other exists. naturally, satoru reacts as dramatically as ever. he pretends to ignore everyone in the comments before calling them out individually.
"oh, i see you, toji... fishy-guru," satoru gripes, wagging his finger at his screen. "my girlfriend exists and she's mine! don't even think about it." he pauses, squinting at the chat before correcting himself with an eyeroll. "fushiguro. whatever. either way, she's real and she's all mine."
satoru swivels his chair to face you, making an incredulous face as he gestures to the screen. "can you believe this?" he grumbles, ocean-blue eyes focused on you. "these guys don't think you're real."
you shrug, toying with the corner of his sheets as you smile back at satoru. he's so childish, but that's just one of the many things you adore about him. sure, he's an annoying brat, but at least he's a total sweetheart too.
your boyfriend extends his hand, beckoning you to come over to him. "c'mon, darling," he cooes, scrunching up his nose at you. "wanna help me prove these losers wrong?" satoru mouths please, and the puppy eyes he gives you are cute enough to convince you.
so you hop off his bed, running a hand through your hair as you stroll over to where he sits in front of his monitor. beaming like a kid on his birthday, satoru takes your hand and twines his fingers with yours.
smiling smugly, satoru pulls you on screen and into his lap, wrapping his arms around your waist and resting his chin on your shoulder. you watch the chat erupt with she's real's and how did he pull a girl like her's and smile, flicking satoru's forehead affectionately.
he ignores the thousands of dumbstruck users in his comments and holds you close to his chest, adjusting his grip on your waist to make his lap as comfortable as possible for you. satoru's adoring eyes are fixed on you, only you, even as his chat explodes.
suguru-geto: haha i already knew
toji-fushiguro: how the fuck did a loser like him pull her?
yuuji-itadori: gojo has a girlfriend??? what did i miss??

This is soooo lando https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT87GFgnq/
Latched On - LN
I sort of made two scenarios from this bc idk it felt quite short and I thought the second scenario was kind of kind of cute.
Tumblr media
Y/n had actually managed to focus on reading her book feet tucked into Lando's lap after he sat down and pulled them to rest there. He's been at it for hours now, at least that's what it feels like.
Sometimes y/n dramatises in her head.
Any shift of her feet earned his immediate attention away from his game. But now she's needs the toilet and it's an unavoidable need that she has to move for.
"Where are you going?" Lando questions as soon as she begins to shift her feet and finds them yanked back to position on his lap making her jump a little from the sudden action.
"I need to go to the bathroom." Y/n smiles lightly earning a slight frown. "Baby, I can't hold it any longer. I'm going to pee myself."
"Alright, be quick." Lando huffs not sounding at all happy about it.
Y/n makes sure to leave over stealing a kiss to try and get rid of the pout from his lips before she gets up and jogs off to the bathroom, following her orders to be quick. She has probably the fastest pee of her life and rushes to wash her hands before back to Lando who reaches an arm out blindly, managing to yank her downwards quickly into his lap.
"Hey-"
"Shhh...baby, I need to focus on this part." Lando mumbles with a small frown while she just relaxes back against him knowing to him this is the perfect set up.
Y/n almost rolls her eyes at the fact he shushed her but instead just focuses on watching the screen. She usually would try to ask if she could have a go too but he's on some sort of mission. Which means she's likely to be kissed and told a very kind no.
"Love having you this closer." Lando comments suddenly making her tilt her head and look at him in slightly confusion but his eyes are still locked on the screen as he speaks.
"What?" Y/n mumbles while looking back down at the screen.
"I like having you this close."
"Oh...I know, you hardly let me go to the toilet, Lando. I think it's fairly obvious you like having me close." Y/n laughs then resting her head back on his shoulder. "I like being this close."
"Good. I'm keeping you here." Lando smirks earning a grin from her.
-
As he drives as part of his career, Lando rarely allows y/n her driving privileges. Plus he swears down that she is quite terrifying as a driver to be a passenger to.
One habit he's gotten into, which does mean that she's always guaranteed in the passenger seat, is that he wants to hold her hand at all times, even when he's changing gears. Her hand is always tangled between his fingers, sometimes he'll even hold her hand and use it to move the gears from underneath his hand.
"You're going to break one of my fingers one day." Y/n laughs as he shifts gears. "I'm glad you try to make me drive managing this."
"I don't want to die, y/n." Lando smirks earning a huff.
"Rude." Y/n mutters since she strongly believes what he says is dangerous driving, is in fact confident driving.
"Baby, you know you're a hazard."
"I am not!" Y/n gasps then yanking her hand from his grip and quickly shifting and moving it around when he tries to make grabs for it. "No, hand-holding privileges provoked."
"Baby, gimme your hand." Lando whines making another grab for it, this time succeeding since her reactions are very much not that of an F1 driver. "Ha! I win."
"You're mean."
"Baby, you aren't the worst driver. You've never crashed...but you are kind of scary when you randomly let go of the wheel." Lando states earning a hum before he pulls her captured hand up to his lips, kissing the back of it. "I love you."
"Yeah, you better."
And then he drivers, not letting go of her hand and unapologetically scolding her every time she tries to take her hand back from his grip.

I think I said I would do no nut November as a joke bc I didn’t do October so 😭😭😭 here u go
desc: yandere nerd x gn willing reader, mentions of stalking, obsession, creep habits, the usual, was gonna make nsfw but it got long so maybe part 2 will actually be the no nut part
Tumblr media
The bookworm of your class has trouble not looking at you, not focusing in on how beautiful you presented yourself today, jesus, is that a new body mist? It’s almost like you knew he loves sweet scents.
He stares at the back of your head lovingly until you turn around and catch his stare on accident after you were about to speak to your friend. He freezes in the wooden chair he sits in and sees you slowly speaking to your friend while knitting your brows in a confused expression as you stare back.
Fuck fuck fuck. He manages to look away with red cheeks, ears burning a scorching temperature in embarrassment. He didn’t expect you to turn to your friend!! You had never done that so why now?
God, he hopes he didn’t look like a creep, he can’t even follow along to the lesson since his hands are too shaky and his mind can’t settle on one thing to think about other than you.
This is the only occasions his brain is fried and jumbled, he feels so dumb when you plague his mind to the point where he’s unable to think or speak.
The lesson passes thankfully, or so he thought until he sees you walking up to his desk, he hesitated to even look up, just staring straight ahead until you speak, if you listened closely you could these his teeth grinding in pure anxiousness.
“Hey, do you mind?” Your voice is in a regular tone, no anger, no disgust, nothing, this being the first time you’ve ever spoken to him, but he doesn’t pick up on that fact.
“Nono! Go ah- ahead” He mentally curses at himself for being such a mess up when his throat fails to smoothly deliver his words. He gets up, collecting his books and allowing you to get a better look at him.
“I was just wondering if you wanted to study together after school, you seemed to be a little lost during class so I wanted to offer my help” You grin, hoping it was friendly like you imagined it to be.
“Oh— um, yeah! I mean yes, thank you, sorry” He rambled, stupidly continuing his sentence even though it was just a yes or no question. He couldn’t imagine that his dream would come true by the hands of you.
All the stalking he’s done, passing in the same route you go after managing to log into your school account to find out what your schedule was, going to every party you went to just to hide in a corner for the entire duration to make sure nobody would try to take you home, he’d do anything to make sure you were safe and happy.
It’s humorous to him that he has you in his room now, looking around with your curiosity peaked at how he’s decorated his room, games and such, a few posters here and there.
He just hopes the last minute decorating suits him because the hundereds of photos he had to tear off his wall had him wincing every time, he’s never dared to take them off until now, nor even hide the plushies he’s bought that look like you, but he assured himself it was for the sake of you, so he managed to do it.
“So, can you remember what this mixture does? When the 5th and 8th are swished together?” You point your pencil, circling around the ones you were mentioning, wondering if he would get this one right.
This poor little nerd is shaking on whether to pretend he doesn’t know or impress you with his knowledge, he’s the top of the class but you thought he didn’t get the subject.
So he decided to pretend.
“Um… it makes this one right?” He weakly says, hoping his confused voice sounded realistic, he doesn’t like the taste of lying on his tongue, but he’s doing it for you so it’s okay in his mind.
You shake your head with a disapproving hum but make sure not to embarrass him by pointing at the right answer. “It’s this one, I created a rhyme to remember since it’s kinda hard to remember it” You wrote down your own creation of a rhyme on his notes, making sure it was right by whispering it to yourself.
Honestly too cute, his heart is pounding out of his chest while he gushes over how adorable you looked, you’re a drug that he can’t stay away from, and he loves every second of this high he gets.
As you scribble the lines down he hopes you write more so he can treasure how your handwriting and add it to his growing collection. The growth is spreading like wildfire just from you being in his room and doing normal things.
“Sorry if it’s out of the blue but I haven’t ate all day, can I get some snacks or something?” You could feel your stomach growl, hoping it wasn’t as loud as you imagined it to be.
“Huh- yeah sure! Of course!” He jumps up, quickly scrambling to get out from under the table the two of you worked on. “I’ll get you something, don’t worry!” He happily says, quickly zigzagging out his own room to get you something to eat.
You thought he was an interesting classmate, that’s for sure. You wondered what type of personality he had, was he always this shy and desperate to please?
You placed your pencil down, forgetting to set it down on something sturdy, it rolls down under his bed into the darkness, before you could even realize what specific area it rolled into. You make sightless grabs and manage to get ahold of something.
You bring it out to find out it’s nothing like a pencil and in fact a plushie, a cute one, but it looks a little familiar, it sort of resembles you? Maybe it’s just a coincidence? You pat it’s plush little head and place it down on the side, making another grab to find one plushie after another.
Seriously! How many plushies did he need? And why did they all look like you?
You only piece together that you’ve discovered a part of his shrine when you pull out a collage of pictures that all contain you.
You talking with your friend who was angrily scribbled out, another of you eating at lunch, one of you just tired during a lecture, and the most intimate ones being of you sleeping and in your house. You can tell one of them is more recent by how the picture was of you in your pajamas cooking yesterdays dinner.
Your eyes quickly dart to observe each photo, pondering about when or how he could’ve taken these.
Speak of the devil he enters with a plate of your favorite food, something you’ve never told him and you’re sure that it’s not another coincidence.
His jaw drops as he sees you surrounded by his plushie collection and most terrifying of all, his collage of his favorite pictures of you.
“That’s— um- I can explain! It’s just—“ He hastily shoves the plate onto his studying table, trying to reason with unfinished rambles of whatever, you honestly blocked it out.
“What is all this?” Your face contorts into blatant confusion and he can’t read the glint in your eyes, something he‘s never failed to do.
“I’m sorry, im s—sorry” He hiccups, already into a crying mess without any actual words of rejection, he’s on his knees, hands clasping onto your pants as he begs for who knows what.
“I-I promise I won’t stalk you anymore, please? I know it’s creepy and wrong but I like you I really do“ He cries, hoping you wouldn’t kick him to the side and yell at him like he’d assume you would do.
He knew he was a creep but he couldn’t stop himself, it all started with you helping him grab his things after he dropped it in a busy hallway and then the obsession never stopped, it was like a parasite that he couldn’t stop feeding and he loved every second of it, of you.
“It’s fine” You pat his head, brushing some hair out his face.
“It’s fine..?” He repeats, wondering if he’s heard you correctly, he sniffles and melts into your soft touch, even though he feels undeserving of it right now.
“Well I kinda had an idea that there was something up with you. By how many times I’ve seen you throughout my week, I’ve noticed that you’re always in the background watching me” You bring him up to stand, his legs are so shaky he’s almost leaning on you.
“You’re n..not mad right?” He hiccups again, now getting embarrassed at how pathetic he sounded, his glassy eyes scanned your expression, praying this wasn’t a cruel joke and that you genuinely didn’t mind.
“Not really, just.. don’t take pictures inside my house” You’re tempted to joke with him by whacking his arm with a plushie of his but you don’t. You just continue to tuck his hair behind his ears so they no longer stick to his wet cheeks.
“Ookay! I won’t” He quickly nods, eager to please you, especially since you seemed to have accepted him even with his creepy habits and flaws.
“And if you want a picture just ask, you don’t have to take them far away without my permission” You grab his phone, wiping his tears away with your sleeve and blowing his bangs out his face, he’s practically crimson red by how he closed his eyes thinking you were going to kiss his forehead.
“Here, look” You sit next to him, backs pressed against the wall of his bed as you take a photo, you tell him to smile after seeing the blank expression on his face.
“Sorry, I’m just nervous” He mumbles, wiping his damp face to make sure he didn’t look that bad in the photo, he’s only closed his eyes for one moment before he feels pressure on top of his lap, oh my god you’re in his lap why are you in his lap?
Before he can sputter out those questions you take a picture, making a kissy face as he looks flustered and confused in the photo, you turn his phone to show the picture you took.
“Why not put that one in your collage?” You turn to see how he looks and there’s not a single thought behind his eyes, looks like you broke him and the teasing has barely even started.
