WEEWOO IM HERE FOR THE EVENT!! (also smth I noticed, you can't copy paste your moots @ from one post to another, bc they don't receive the notif;_; I checked my mentions for your @ and uh- nope)

ANYWAY "nights spent in" with Leona pls (or Ruggie or Kalim or Jack or Jamil 💀💀) I just want a lazy night with takeout and cuddles and looking at the city/town from the hotel or room balcony in peace but I also need this frigging degree-

Nights Spent In; Leona Kingscholar

Content; Fluff, so much fluff, gender-neutral reader, romance

Word Count; 650+

Author's Note; I came up with a whole meal for this and I want everything. All of the food mentioned is North Indian vegetarian food, except for Leona's. Best of luck with that degree, Soru!

As a reminder, do not put my work — or others for that matter — into AI as it steals. Link to Masterlist

You were lounging on the sofa on the balcony, a light breeze coming off the waves helping cut most of the heat from the day as night slowly painted the sky in a deep navy. Honestly, you could fall asleep right here, since you were warm and very comfy. Count on the royal family of the Sunset Savannah to spare no expense, even when it came to their balcony furniture for the smallest of their vacation homes. 

Speaking of the Kingscholars, Leona had said that he was going out to grab you both dinner, which would have shocked anyone else, but he put in the work when it came to you. You were the exception. Of course, though, he expected something in return, which was usually either using you as his pillow or giving him a kiss… or several until he was satisfied with how fast he could make your heart flutter. Smug bastard…

“Hmm, I went through all the trouble of gettin’ you food and here you are nearly passed out,” he sighed, having sneaked up on you. But he sighed, putting the food down.

Leona leisurely walked over to you before promptly laying on top of you and resting his chin on your shoulder, trapping you. He let out a long sigh and bumped his head against yours.

Taking the message, you started scratching behind his ears and hummed. “I thought I had to pay you back after we ate,” you mused.

He chuffed, but his tail was slowly waving back and forth in a relaxed manner, he was only putting on a show. “You can pay me now and then,” he grumbled, looking up at you and raising a brow expectantly.

You knew that face, it was the face that he made when he wanted a kiss but didn’t want to say it. “You can get the rest of it, but after we eat-” your stomach made a low rumble underscoring your statement. “Before I decide to eat you instead,” you joked, and poked him in the ribs to prompt him to get off you.

Leona rolled his eyes, but yielded, he wanted his damn kisses sooner rather than later. Plus the last time he had decided to lay on you and prevent you from getting food, you had indeed bit him. Even though you didn’t really leave a mark, it still stung a bit, and he would rather not get teased by the others if they found out it had happened again.

“What did you get by the way,” you asked. Whatever it was smelled divine. Your stomach gurgled even louder, sounding more akin to some beast demanding food.

Leona chuckled a bit at the commotion, but brought the food out. “Went to a small place, family run and owned,” and he brought out several containers of food. He looked at his order, “Malai kofta, raita, paratha, mattar paneer-”

You saw one other container and raised a brow.

“Rogan josh,” he answered, swiping the container away from you.

You rolled your eyes at him, but you were more than happy at the food he had got, and knew that he left a hefty tip even though he would deny it. Not only had he made you, and your ravenous stomach’s, night, but also the restaurant owners’ as well. 

Now content and full of food, the both of you laid in bed, your legs intertwined. “Thanks for getting dinner,” you hummed, feeling the sleepiness from earlier returning.

Leona turned his head to you, and rubbed circles on your hip, slowly. He was wearing the same expectant look again. “Aren’t you forgetting something?” But there was no smugness, Leona was full and just as tired as you, so he was more like a tired kitty looking for some love.

You shuffled over and placed a gentle kiss to his lips, and he let out a tired sigh, pupils dilating into round saucers. “I love you,” you placed another kiss on his lips before placing one on his scar and lingering there.

He bumped his forehead to yours, closing his eyes. “Yeah, yeah, I know… I love you too.”

Holy Shit I Just Realized Something (toh finale spoilers and Badly Structured, Massively Long Rant up ahead)

when we first meet willow in early s1, she's in the abomination track and as we all know she is Struggling. abomination magic just doesn't come as naturally to her as plant magic, which is fine, but it isn't being addressed by the school.

soon enough she gets switched over to the plant track as she wishes- i don't remember the exact details of the episode, it's been a little while, but iirc principal bump shows up after willow covers the entire inside of the school in vines and basically goes "no, i'm not punishing you, instead i'm switching you to the plant track because you're clearly more skilled at this type of magic."

which none of us really thought about, right?? maybe some of us were like "hm, that was a bit abrupt" but we didn't think too much of it because we didn't have much of an idea of bump's character yet.

not much later, it's revealed that bump himself is a part of the abomination coven. (it's not exactly Discussed but his sigil is visible in some shots, like this one.) he is bound by sigil to be restricted to abomination magic and nothing else.

one slightly less relevant detail that i find interesting is how he doesn't Look like an abomination coven member, and so he seems a lot less invested in his status as an abomination witch. now you may be thinking: ferret, that's a moot point because 1. not every magic user is going to have their preferred type of magic/coven/track whatever implemented into their design and 2. princy b wears his Principal Robes every time we see him up until the finale, so it would be difficult to implement those details into his design anyway.

now, that second point is actually, uh. Fair. but as for the first point, allow me to explain

here are two prominent abomination coven members, darius deamonne and alador blight

both of them are pretty obviously abomination coven members right off the bat. darius, being a coven head, has a Shit ton of purple in his design to indicate this (and that's not even including his hair). with alador, this is toned down, but it's still obvious by the permanent abomination goo stains on his coat (and also by the fact that he apparently doesn't wash his hands after working on the abomatons /lhj). these two are specialists, in different ways, of course, but ultimately their skills lie in abomination magic, and neither of them have expressed a wish to try other types of magic at this point.

but here's the thing. as far as i can tell, bump is Not a specialist. while he is a skilled abomination witch, we rarely see him make use of the fact except for during fight scenes- he doesn't seem very invested in it. plus, when we see him during the epilogue, he's enjoying a new hobby, which is...

...plant care, much like willow! :)

(side note i love the holes in his hat for frewin's horns)

now, of course you could interpret this as bump simply discovering a New hobby between where wad left off & the epilogue. but to me, this says that all this time he was held back from his passion for plant care for multiple reasons, for example his job as the principal of hexside definitely put a strain on him in terms of how much time he could spend doing things for himself. but now that he's retired, and the coven system has been dismantled, he can spend more time doing things that bring him joy, just like many others in the epilogue.

this means that when he saw what willow was capable of back in s1, and transferred her to the plant track, he was really saying "i see you're struggling, and i won't let you go through what i went through by forcing you to go down a path that isn't yours." and god he means so much to me for that.

anyways end of rant, if you're here reading this i sincerely congratulate you for getting this far without passing away . i am very unnormal about hieronymus bump and it shows.

(also, PLSPLSLSS reblog this if you agree i spent like an hour here sitting here typing this all up on my phone at 1am AHDKDJFJE)

I've seen some Hancock/The Ghoul fanart floating around as of late and it's so good so choice but I've seen no art with The Ghoul and Raul Tejada and I can no longer allow this fandom to sleep on my emotional support geriatric. Once I'm done with my finals it's over for you fools.

find the difference level impossible :D but seriously, this tweet gave me a stomachache from laughing so hard.

THERE'S MY TWO CREEPY TOO SIMILAR VESTAL VIRGINS THAT MAKE ALL THE MEN ON THE GRID (except lewis) GO HUUUHHHHH???

The sheer boomer nonsense of my retired father calling our top-choice house “too plain” in a disdainful tone like some kind of rich aristocrat (he is in fact a burly six-four denim-wearing capital-D Dad) when it would actually be the nicest house I’ve ever lived in, INCLUDING the weird goofy 70s split level he lived in for 30 years, which was literally his last experience buying a house in 1990 - a house full of Egyptian wallpaper and BLUE SHAG CARPET

Yes I suppose houses are staged to be plain in comparison nowadays but I suspect he doesn’t even know what he means when he says this

I think this is elder craftsman speak for “this is one those ticky-tacky pick-your-own-lot contemporary box builds and the owners didn’t select any fancy options when they chose all middle sliders in a 3D modeling program” but. Again. I must emphasize. If we can get them to accept an offer, this will be the materially nicest house I have ever lived in and it will have like… no structural flaws. None. So i mean.

I honestly think he couldn’t come up with anything substantially Wrong Enough to point at it with his House Touring Flashlight and go “there’s yer problem right there,” (and because the whole process of house buying is enough to make anyone nuts, especially a shy, neurotic, certifiably Weird Tool Dad) he just looked at the mid-tier trim and boring carpet and started making distressed bear noises

ya'll please i haven't even finished the 1k requests and we're already nearing 2k.

minhkhoa: ‘i can do anything’

bruce, bashfully tucking a lock of his hair behind his ear (despite his hat): stoppp omg, ur soooo bad ahaha~~~♡

there's an alternate reality where this vegas:

and this pete:

most definitely fuck.

snapshots of what could have been

sooo i got to be in the tunnel at the devils game on monday and gave fist bumps to the ENTIRE team!!! it will definitely be the coolest hockey related thing i’ve ever done for a long time, if not forever!! i can say i fist bumped JACK HUGHES like are we kidding??? also timo was the happiest going down the line!

every once in a while i have an interaction with a spider that goes completely chill like rn i was just vibing in bed when i felt one walking along my arm, in front of my phone screen and waddling off into the darkness without me really thinking anything of it & only after its done i realize that this makes me braver than half the US marines in the eyes of 70% of the population

TOP TIER MG Smut Moment™️ is in Secret Keeper when they’re bumping uglies and she looks over her shoulder and he’s holding his jersey by his teeth THE WAY I REREAD THAT 50 TIMES

lmao did you have to say bumping uglies i'm dying 😂

(but hard agree the jersey in his teeth detail elevates that one, this is my sign to write that detail more often 😇)

The visual storytelling of why there is a literal dent in my shin rn

You guys don't understand I'm a lover okay. I love everything. I love everything more than everything and I love everyone. I'm literally just some guy on this earth and everyone has been so kind to me the sun has been so bright for me the moon shines at night. I wear whatever I want so confidently now and it makes me so happy and I talk to people and I just love okay.. til the day I die I will love. There's so many books to read I've read so many of my favorites a million times the lines from hamlet and rosencrantz and guildenstern that reverberate in my head eternally... and the movies and shows I watch so much that give me joy and inspire me to just be silly and live and love. And.. idk if you know this but there's CREATURES on this EARTH that just LIVE N SHIT??? Like squirrels and deer and mice and pigeons exist its like HOLY SHIT YOU'RE TELLING ME THE CREATIONS ARE JUST IN MY YARD? FOR FREE? And the people in history I think of oh so often martin luther and your silly little church door you badass bitch lady jane gray who I forever mourn and also like hatsune miku I know she's not real but she has really good songs. And like guys hear me out the world is bad sometimes and I know you're tired of hearing about the good in the little things but I smelled a good smell today and was literally though the roof onto the moon I crash landed there I was so happy. The weather was warm the seasonal depression was gone and I got to see all the people I love so much. I'm literally just a silly little guy my purpose here is to love and lalalalalalal and brother I'm fufilling the prophecy I'm swimming with the stream the fish love me I'm literally so unbothered in my element. Look into my eyes and tell me you can't read me like typewriter print on an envelope.
