on paper gustholomule is basically just mountain dew but in my head its a sweet sparkling red wine with notes of cherries and oak
#krav talks#toh#gustholomule#theyre both trans + gay but gus is aromantic and matt is maybe gray-ace??? not set on that tho#and theyre just friends until theyre like 16-17#and then they have this whole courting phase for like 6 months#where theyre both like. toeing the line between romantic and platonic#sort of a will-they-wont-they type of deal that agonizes their friend groups#but theyre both surprisingly chill about the whole thing#even matt is just like “if it happens it happens idk i dont wanna rush it”#and gus is sorta exploring his feelings towards romance and like. wondering if he even wants a romantic relationship with anyone#(amity & willow tell him to talk to lilith and he does and shes pretty great at helping him figure that out bcus shes romance-repulsed)#luz has been waiting for the two of them to get together since she first found out that they were actually friends#so shes the most agonized and impatient of them all#especially because shes also been waiting for hunter & willow to get together for YEARS as well and they still arent a Thing#everyone teases her for it bcus she and amity only knew each other for like. 3 months before getting together#anyways gus and matt always have a relationship that seems strange from the outside but feels perfect to them#such as them not moving in together for YEARS#despite how often they visit each other & stay overnight#and also when they do move in they have separate bedrooms#and they dont ever really have dates. they dont do any like. romantic gestures for the most part.#but they'll kiss and matt will sit on gus's lap even in public but they also wont hold hands or use pet names#their petnames are “bro” and “dude”

Sabecha things cuz I’m bored grrrrr
i mean honestly since it’s been almost two years since I’ve invented this ship it’s about time i spill the beans on my headcanons
homie they literally appeared together in Combat Arena X, Waste World and debatably Walk. Possibly in the Gameworks. They definitely met.
Honestly i see them starting as competitive frenemies in Combat Arena X and then during a heated fight they just make out one day they chill and chat and kiss under the moonlight.
Rebecha is 5’7” and Sado is 6’7”…it’s a whole foot of height difference. And yet. Rebecha is so strong that she can literally just scoop Sado and raise her above her head. It’s always funny to imagine- and- Sado sometimes, nonverbally, teases her by just bending over to her eye level- and and- other times Rebecha just, grabs her tie and pulls her into a kiss- A- 🤭
Since, yknow, Sado is a computer virus which pretty much paints her a criminal in Gameworks’ eyes, they at least try to keep their relationship secret. Especially from Irving. Only Wizarro knows. He’s Rebecha’s bestie. Anyways yea they’re like forbidden lovers and that’s where the angst comes in.
“Right person wrong time so much?” YEAH-
Sado may be a psychopath but has a soft spot for Rebecha, and Rebecha is probably the only person who’s not afraid of Sado and isn’t phased by her antics
also she doesn’t really care if Sado hurts someone unless they’re her friend (and then waste world comes around and Rebecha befriends Rust and Rocky and everything goes to shit)
Sado and Rebecha have this weird on-and-off relationship, both from some arguments and being assigned to different games.
tbh despite the fact that Rebecha hates her job she used to be a ‘goody two-shoes’ until Sado’s rebellious attitude rubbed off on her.
they would be great partners in crime 🙏
Rebecha is pretty grumpy and doesn’t really know how to show affection meanwhile Sado easily cheers her up and mainly shows physical affection
surprisingly, Rebecha is the more protective one (she has self-worth issues and is afraid that Sado will get killed/deleted when caught), and Sado only protects Rebecha when she is in danger (she doesn’t want to seem clingy)
you know those animal relationship dynamics? Rebecha is a raccoon and Sado is a fucking possum
“Hates everyone except one person x Hated by everyone except one person”
the only way that Sado can fall asleep is to use Rebecha as a weight blanket.
Too much energy and annoying x No energy and annoyed with the iconic flavor of ‘OH FUCK THAT’S MY IDIOT’
theyre both ambiamorous. They dated Chandrelle until she left them for Lazarus LOL and Sado is still salty about it.
in conclusion, i have a weird taste in ships and they have their ups and downs and I love their flaws

aot: the mitchie cinematic universe
okay so im just gonna write down some of my aot headcanons in a modern setting bc like...im right. anyways:
eren and armin met on reddit
erens a reformed brony but it’s still a comfort show of his
armin defends furries (as he should)
he also got sasha and connie to go to furcon and at first he was nervous abt taking him because they thought that they would be mean about it but they ate that shit up, none of them are furries but they fuckin love them
connie gets wasted and eats baby food
jean got his license first and never stfu abt it
marco unironically prefers the cafeteria food to home cooked food
levi went to jail for a really long time when he was like 17. nobody except erwin knows why. whenever anyone asks erwin he just goes “you shouldn’t have asked that.” and stares at you until you change the topic
additionally, levi’s mugshot is single-handedly both the hottest and scariest thing ever
moblit is saving himself for marriage and volunteers to teach sex ed to hanges class 
hange has not yet realized that moblit would stop waiting for marriage if they approached him in that way
eren is an AVID redditor. i’m talking 4 out of the 6 hours of his phones screen time is the reddit app. he used to be obsessed with 4chan too
historia runs a pretty popular fashion instagram account
some random guy (possibly reiner while he was in his closeted era) left the funniest hate comments when historia posted a picture of her and ymir together for valentines day. ex: “WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE TOGETHER” “MY HEARRRRTTTTT. I LOVED HERRR”
bertholdt spam reported his account so he would stop bc the second hand embarrassment...my god...
jean loves drake and it’s everyone’s problem
the way mikasa figured out that she was bisexual was by kissing eren and annie, and then saying, “so it’s definitely not a problem with either gender, i think it’s just you guys” and that’s how two hearts were broken that day
annie and armin were each others beards but armin actually started to love annie and so she had to hit him with the “im glad you know youre pan, but im still a big fat lesbo. love u”
they broke up and then annie met hitch on a cruise, now theyre cute long distance gfs which is better for annie bc she doesnt like people hanging off of her
connie thinks he can breakdance. key word is “thinks”
sasha eats bits of everyone’s lunch
sasha also films tiktoks in the middle of class. her “we not hump1ng” dance with jean went viral and so that's how 900k people have seen jean miming sucking a shlong in the middle of honors calculus
armin is surprisingly good at dancing, he’s most definitely a quirked up white boy
mikasa has a candle collection
hitch runs the school confessional account
eren started to 'come out' as bisexual because jean found him on the r/lgbtq subreddit asking if they thought his feelings about a specific guy friend was bordering on romantic. jean ss’ed it and sent it to him, eren called him, and then jean became a god of a wingman
marco is catholic but like is super chill about it
ymir pulls over to take pictures of vultures for historia
historia and jean got high as motherfucking kites one night because they ate out of the wrong brownie pan at a party and the whole time they were just staring into each others eyes like “i love you. why dont we hang out more. you are so cool. we are divine love from the universe. we should be best best best friends.” they karaoke'd piano man together that night
ERWIN WAS A DRAG QUEEN IN HIS COLLEGE YEARS!!!!!
erwin and levi met when erwin visited prison for a psych thesis he had and they just hit it off. literally. levi thought erwin tried to insult him and then he tried to punch him (erwin was trying to ask him on a date to the commissary🤞)
mikasa and annie are autistic besties
connie is an ipad baby turned teenager
zeke is in a shitty garage band and pulled the “hope you guys like weezer” conversation, verbatim, with eren when eren was in sixth grade and he was an angsty sophomore
that was probably erens downfall tbh
one time there was a lice outbreak in their little group and armin and historia (bc theyre definitely siblings and their parents are erwin and levi) brought it home to levi. he rented a hazmat suit
also, everyone got it, INCLUDING LEVI, except for hangë because their hair is so dirty. levi switched to tea tree shampoo that day
hangë is the leader of the schools gsa
moblit used to be a church camp counselor before he realized he was queer and also an agnostic
eren and armin started dating because while they were smoking together, high off his ass, eren let it slip that he does...questionable things to Imaginary Armin during his alone time and wanted to make sure it was okay with him. armin, also high off his ass, replied that yes, it was, because he ALSO does that
historia has a crusty little white dog named bella thats her pride and joy and it fucking hates eren
reiner cries to tears for fears. slay
reiner also has an addiction to saying “you just got slayed”
bertholdt cries almost every time he gets #krissed
ymir knows this and purposefully sends him #kirssed videos
for one last #krissed hc, reiner was sobbing over his mental health issues at 2 am and decided to record a tiktok with the Space Song audio but then it turned to him being #krissed so he just started screaming (tiktok: )

What kind of relationship do you think Ayano and Kano have? Especially considering this shitshow going on with them and Shintaro
answer is here but... >:3
both are very messed up and filled with guilt/feelings of failure over their whole thing from back then. kano is so ashamed he ended up doing the things he did even if under the threat of saeru and ayano is ashamed she even dragged him into it in the first place, only to end up leaving him & seto and kido alone... she feels like such a failure :((
i think ayano would rly try to talk about it, but disregards all of kano's own remorse and just like kido and seto she's like yeah u shouldve said something but its ok we're family and ayano is even more like this bc she feels so RESPONSIBLE for kano's mistakes she's like oh my GOOOOD especially for shit like having to pretend to be her corpse, ayano rly feels like she's singlehandedly put kano through hell. so she's all over him like a worried mom lol
and he IS all messed up but he's like id rather get stabbed again than be honest abt all these feelings of dread bc what am i supposed to say?? that i feel empty and clueless and lost and sad and undeserving even though everything is ok and my sister is back?? in what world do i have the right to feel the way i do after all the mistakes ive made. like who cares i feel undeserving, its not about me. if anything its about kido&seto getting ayano back. its about ayano getting her life back!!
but ayano keeps acting so apologetic and remorseful and it makes kano so sick. bc how can she feel so responsible, it wasn't her. it was clearing eyes. kano is so angry that ayano and also even shintaro&mary keep blaming themselves for things that weren't their fucking fault it was CLEARING and kano's like IM the only one who knew for so long and didnt say anything. if anyone's a fucking asshole its me!!!!
so... i think both kano and ayano are going to each other like i know ur hurting talk to me💖 no im fine. YOURE doing badly. talk to me. NO YOU NO YOU NO YOU and its stupid
and for the whole shintaro stuff. well kano IS SO MAD at him because 1. hes dating his sister and is overprotective over her 2. he is FUCKING UP with his sister making it WORSE 3. HE LIKES HIM *HOLDS HEAD* DESPITE IT ALL HE LIKES HIM SO MUCH💔💔💔
erm. after ayano's breakthrough/kano starting to see shintaro etc etc i think... both kano and shintaro are so terrified of their relationship so ofc they wouldnt tell anyone. which is why itd be 10000 times funnier if theyre caught. idk how that would go but i just know itd be funny. i havent given it much thought yet but i just want it to be a sitcom moment i love secret relationships and characters finding out one by one
erm abt how ayano would react i think shed be surprisingly chill about it?? like she's not mad or not even weirded out she's probably just like hehe THERE IS something to like isnt there shuuya :3 and kano wants to die. maybe she'd be iffy if its very fresh after breakup with shintaro she's like girl ur not ready for a relationship LEAVE MY BROTHER ALONE‼️‼️‼️ but it all depends in what mental context she is at. also if she was like this, kano and shintaro freak out like RELATIONSHIP⁉️ WHO SAID ANYTHING ABT A RELATIONSHIP WERE NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP and its so ridiculous and insane. lol.

The Kyr Family!!! (aka i finally have specifics for g'ika's siblings (and parents))
I may not have their looks totally mapped out yet but i'm gonna work on that next, i think that's my main goal this weekend
I'll put it all under a cut, in order of oldest to youngest
Edit: okay after i started typing, the ideas just started flowing so I actually got kinda carried away. but thats okay bcs now theyre like, more shaped!
Asurge Kyr: Zabrak, blue skin, black facial markings and snake tattoos spirally both arms ending with the heads on the backs of their hands. 6 horns, 3 on each side going straight back connected by the facial markings. Super tall, stick thin, tends to slouch. Asurge was raised on Mandalore, was a deadly hitman, was feared across the galaxy until they very surprisingly retired and settled.
Pronouns They/He
Pops Kyr: Chiss, medium length curly hair, tall and fat. Covered in scars. Pops transitioned late in life, having lived his whole life as the wife of a abusive politician, had their child, then escaped with their child. Pops was reluctantly taken in by Asurge when they needed safe passage. Pops and Asurge fell in love while destroying Pop's ex's career and underground gambling network.
Prounous: He/Him
Bal: The Balancer. Biological child of Pops Kyr. Long dark straight hair, "picture perfect" Chiss heir. Tall. Bal was born deaf, uses Galatic Sign to communicate. Bal is stoic and serious, has a lot of trauma from seeing their Father commit atrocities. Bal immediately latched onto Asurge and looks up to them, following in their footsteps and became a bounty hunter. The Balancer is their codename.
Pronouns: They/Them
Fresa: Togruta, light red/pink skin with green montral markings. (idc if that isn't natural this is sw i can do whatever i want.) Super long head montrals. Known for her hearty and boisterous laugh and great capacity for compassion. Fresa is very sure of herself, confident, head strong. She isn't afraid to voice her opinions and she'll do whatever it takes to get what she wants. Married to transfeminine as of yet unnamed togruta, they have a toddler together, with another child on the way
Pronouns: She/Her (wife's pronouns are also she/her)
G'ika: Obviously my most posted about family member, he started it all babey. Human, pink dyed hair that's long on the top/back and shaved on the sides. Shortest family member. G'ika was found as a toddler, drowned and abandoned, his near death experience is what gave him his force touch abilities. Fresa was the one to figure out that skin to skin conact was what set him off. G'ika moves to Coruscant at age 19, 2 years before the war starts. He hopes to find a jedi chill enough to teach him gow to better control the force, feeling like his self taught methods aren't the best. G'ika cannot hold down a reputable job, resorts to underground work, freelance repair work, smuggling, and information dealing. His roommate on Coruscant is Tosa, a Chadra-Fan that agreed to let him move in with her.
G'ika's pronouns are He/They
Solus and T'ad: (yes i admit their naming is lazy on my part but i think it's funny. Their names are literally One and Two in mando'a) Twi'lek identical twins, their skin is a dark orange-y pink color. Think Thing One and Two, they're very mischievous, they're inseparable, often just referred to as "the twins", and like to trick people by switching names every so often. Very smart duo, Solus loves to build droids, and reprogrammed an SBD, Spuddie, to help around the farm, T'ad enjoys fixing farm equipment and makes makeshift blasters. They're both selectively mute, tend to keep to themselves, and will sometimes wander off and spend days away from the family camping in the nearby forest.
Solus and T'ad both use they/them pronouns

more valeria thoughts
i truly think she could be besties with vex bc i didn’t know much about her before making valeria & theyre similar in a lot of ways & even have facial scarring lmao (at least w/ the mod i have of her). like i think they would fucking hate each other at first just on sight but then after a little while they start being friendly & eventually it gets to a point where if anyone sees them go off on their own to talk in the cistern everyone can automatically assume they’re 1) gossiping about stuff they pick up on going through peoples things in town 2) plotting the take down of someone they both hate or 3) genuinely just chilling with each other bc it’s been a while.
however their first few interactions would be like trying to introduce two feral cats to each other.
i also think she could be good friends with karliah. i hate the idea that she just stays in the twilight sepulcher at the end of the thieves guild quest because she’s spent so long by herself that i don’t think she should be so lonely anymore!! valeria would respect her a lot.
generally valeria is kind of quiet but when she talks she can come off as very intense. she doesnt put a lot of emotion in her voice. but it’s easy to make her laugh, people just don’t really try due to her Vibe.
she finds a stray cat in the ratway during a routine sweep, with two dead skeevers nearby. she slowly befriends it & takes it back to the cistern. brynjolf gives her some shit about it but the facade quickly shatters when the cat rubs it’s head against his hand & immediately begins to take to him more than valeria. valeria is like wtf you stole my cat. bryn just “are you jealous, lass?” & she “>:| no.” (yes)
despite this the cat sleeps between the two of them later on when they’re ✨an item✨. the cat does not ever really get a name other than “Cat” or “Kitty” because neither of them are that imaginative lol
i think valeria would be good at parkour in the “quick escape from a place i just broke into” kind of way. jumping off balconies into the perfect tuck & roll. scaling buildings in riften just to sit on the roof. that kind of thing.
if anyone ever has the audacity to ask outright about the scars on her face she just tells them “a skeever did it” & leaves it at that. i imagine the only person she ever tells is brynjolf, but like, way later into their relationship.
speaking of, their relationship is so dumb. it’s a years long waiting game of who’s going to admit their feelings first &, surprisingly, bryn is the first to break (i imagine he says it when he thinks she’s asleep next to him but SIKE). by this point mercer is dead & valeria is guildmaster so she freaks out a little & disappears on a job on the other side of skyrim for at least a month the next morning because hm! she thinks she might love him too & she doesn’t know how to deal with all of that.
when she comes back bryn does the classic “sorry lass, i’ve got important things to do” as a way to keep the space she put between them by leaving. this pisses her off because when it comes to him she can’t take what she dishes out & then that’s when she realizes Hm. Maybe I’m the Problem.
they do eventually make up & valeria apologizes for disappearing. and then they have lots of makeup sex
overall they try to keep their whole thing on the down low because it wouldn’t do to have any underlings getting too big for their britches & claiming valeria plays favourites. vex knows ofc (she probably helped put together the job valeria disappears on for a month lmao) & probably delvin.

For the ask meme: Georgie or Wendy, 🌲 🍁🌿🌠
i cant let some "or" stop me from following my dreams. i shall do both.
georgie
🌲
georgie cares for people the way most people care for like a particularly sad looking kitten sitting alone in the pet shop window. she can sympathize, but not relate, and the sense of emotional connection only lasts so long as it is entertaining to her.
this isnt all bad though. shes as good a listener as her occasional role of bartender implies and gives really good impartial advise. the people in her life know they can rely on her when theyre in a truly tough spot, they just also know they cant expect too much regular investment from her when the stakes arent so high.
🍁
oh yes! the bar is georgie's domain and she knows every hidey hole and secret back room (of which there are surprisingly many) like the back of her hand. if she needs some time alone and doesnt want to be found, she absolutely wont be.
she does technically have her own room, a place where she retreats to when the bar is closed and theres nothing else to be done, but its less like a physical space and more like an absence of space. kind of like a sensory deprivation chamber she chills in when shes tired of having a single limited body/consciousness to manage.
she doesnt really go outside.
🌿
little acts of service, little allowances. it may not be readily apparent to the people around her but when she really likes someone she dials down the mysterious and untouchable vibes. just allowing someone to like get in her space and get to know her is kind of a huge deal on her part.
since most folks assume that theres nothing they could do for georgie that she couldnt easily do for herself (correct) shes genuinely very charmed whenever someone does make any kind of effort on her behalf. theres a broom closet somewhere that no one ever uses with a wall full of cocktail napkin doodles that wilhelm has drawn for her over the years.
🌠
georgie is a darling, she is simply not Baby. 1/10
.
wendy
🌲
wendy has a lot of Big Feelings. shes a compassionate person at heart but the sharp edges of her own anger, her defensiveness, her experience-earned fears of vulnerability warp her perception of the people around her and make it hard for her to connect.
shes very bad at offering kindness, or at least she thinks she is, which means shes bad at it until she stops paying attention. she often says the wrong things because she makes the mistake of thinking theres always something shes supposed to say. she gives good hugs.
🍁
after her childhood home is destroyed wendy winds up living in her fathers old emergency bunker which, after auree joins her, doesnt offer much in the way of personal space. eventually she ends up living in a proper home again, but privacy is still a finite resource. honestly she doesnt really mind it. if she really needs to be alone though sometimes she'll return to the bunker. its the sort of place that maybe shouldnt be comforting to her, but it is.
she likes to go walking too. haddie doesnt like the idea of her walking around the city alone at night so she typically doesnt tell her. the rebellious feeling of sneaking out is part of the experience. auree will usually join her at some point though, whenever shes done feeling rebellious and wants company again. if theyre out together theyll typically walk to a park auree likes, or towards the ocean.
🌿
physical touch, anything from bumping shoulders to squeezing hands to a full body embrace, is what works best for auree, and since wendy didnt have a whole lot of experience caring for anyone before her, its become kind of her go-to. shes still working on caring for other people besides her without feeling teeth-itchingly awkward about it. the effort is certainly there at least.
likewise, auree is the one most attuned to how wendy likes to be comforted, which mostly amounts to either paying really close attention to what shes saying with lots of nodding to showing shes listening, or holding her so tightly her bones creak. depends on the situation. no one else is quite as hands on, but haddie and henry have both more or less picked up that verbal affirmation paired with an affectionate pat will be met with an eye roll and poorly repressed smile. which is basically a declaration of love coming from her.
🌠
wendy is 8/10 extremely babymode

Chara, the fourth Blook cousin:
A crack theory that accidentally become way more serious than it should have because it somehow, despite my best efforts, ended up making sense
Brought to you by my idiot conspiracy brain (affectionate) and by encouragement from my Tumblr followers
Under the cut for the sake of your dashes and sanity
Ok here we go my very elaborate accidental theory, because in order to answer the complex questions simply you must first make simple things more complex or something
First, you need to know that Chara became a Blook cousin by adoption.
All of the Blooks are adopted.
Ghosts are not born into families, they make their own.
Got it? Great, because we’re about to start running
so first, im gonna make surprisingly uncommon claim in this fandom, and I am going to say that undertale ghosts are all dead
I’m taking the tiny details we know about ghosts and sprinting with them to new places
Ghosts also do not have souls I decided
Undertale souls do not work the same as souls in traditional mythology
So every ghost is soulless Unless and Until they become corporeal
Evidence: Monster souls cant exist without bodies, and ghosts are monsters, therefore ghosts cannot have souls without bodies
Further evidence: Asriel doesnt steal blooky’s soul, blooky is unkillable, we have no concrete evidence that blooky has a soul
What about mettaton? He only has a soul after he has completely committed to being corporeal and to a specific body.
Also maddy and mettaton are both only killable while corporeal
Im also connecting the dots we have about souls in a new creative way so let me live for a second
Additionally, i am going to claim that there are a lot more ghosts than just the blooks, some evidence given below
Theres like actual scientific knowlege of ghosts in the undertale verse which seems unlikely if theres literally only three or four
The underground is so much bigger than you think, theres that giant forest in snowdin, a large town in the ruins, the huge city of new home, who knows how much space in the large open areas of waterfall etc. Its really really big okay
Also based off evidence of blooky, we can conclude that ghosts can turn invisible whenever they want to and/or haunt objects to hide
So I personally think that ghosts are, generally speaking, extremely reclusive
And the blooks are just a special exception, a beautiful family, amazing for them
So anyway im going with typical ghost lore for now, for the sake of ease, so im gonna say ghosts generally come from monsters who are particularly restless or unsatisfied when they die
HOWEVER i dont think they remember being monsters or anything before being a ghost. They just kinda fizzle into existance with a fully formed personality and immortality while being unkillable and feeling vaguely uneasy
ALSO i personally think that chara was a ghost for a long time before they became a blook by adoption
Based on game lore, i think ghosts can possess any inanimate object and just kinda wear it? But it takes a lot of strong emotion to become corporeal
And chara is the super weird exception because they were a human not a monster.
They dont have a soul (i headcanon that their soul got destroyed when asriel died)
And they KNOW this, which is a huge part of why they kinda just... give up
Because they lost their ability to fulfill prophecy
Also, without a soul, they lost their ability to reset, so for the first time since falling underground, theyre subject to the relentless march of time
But theyre still weirdly strong and powerful and more emotional
ALSO they DO still remember being a human but they catch on pretty quickly that other ghosts dont have memories and because chara is stupid they just lie to fit in
Theyre too tired to explain themself, they just want to be alone and feel awful
Now back to ghost lore
Emotions are a lot harder for ghosts??? I decided
And they dont know why,, they tend to blame it on the soul thing
But realistically its actually more of the immortality thing making actions not have consequences and/or or not having a body so they cant have a sense of touch or have physical effects of emotion
They all know that ghosts just tend to be way more floaty and bored and numb
And thats part of why the blooks are so special
Maddy’s rage and Mettaton’s yearning and Napstablook’s misery are like... not great all of the time...
but theyre also way way more emotion than most ghosts have,,, they are just a family supporting each other, being as functional as they can,, just an emo(tional) ghost family
most ghosts barely do anything except like stare at walls but the blooks have their snail farm and that helps them have purpose and it is good
And they hold each other accountable and it is nice
So anyway chara just chills and is in a depression coma for a few decades before the blooks find them and are like “our child/baby cousin”
and they raise them for a cool minute
They are all very protective of the new baby emo blook
And chara doesnt get therapy but at the very least they once again have a family, and they decide they want to try to become corporeal eventually just like mtt and maddy
So anyway chara starts hanging out in the ruins a lot more and they finally tell the blooks theyre leaving to go become corporeal in the ruins
This is actually because they are trying to hang out with toriel
because they miss their mom ;;
but chara’s not gonna admit that to anyone, especially not to themself
And because theyre still repressing their emotions constantly and pretending to be fine, they cant become corporeal
And they hang out in the ruins for a long time because they feel guilty lying to everyone about everything
They still feel like its their fault that all the monsters are stuck underground, because they were SUPPOSED to save everyone and they COULDNT and it HURTS
But again, they are doing too much repression to use this guilt to become corporeal,
so instead they just kinda hide and watch toriel from a distance and cry
Blooky visits them the most, thats why blooky is chilling in the ruins so much at the start of the game
Theyre just there to visit their shy baby cousin ;;
Ofc they wont tell frisk about this because chara wants space and privacy and blooky respects that
but maddy and mtt also visit them a lot
Oh also when mtt and maddy start dissapearing, blookys mental health plummets as their family and support system starts to dissolve
Blooky was actually doing extremely well (for a ghost) for a long time, i headcanon,
but theyre doing the worst theyve been in a long long time during the game, because of family issues
So anyway, chara dissapears when frisk shows up, and maddy assumes this is becaude frisk hurt their fragile feelings
Maddy spends hours desperately searching the ruins for chara and cant find them and assumes that they had their heart crushed and went to hide and disappear in a depression coma for another few decades, and thats part of why maddy is so furious with frisk
Like,, to be clear, maddy is still jumping to conclusions and throwing blame around with no proof, but also, its a logical conclusion to come to
And mettaton has already disappeared too and been gone for a while, too, by this point, so it hurts even worse
But anyway, what actually happened to chara is that;
Because chara is a human ghost, not a monster ghost, normal ghost rules dont apply to them
And they can possess living things too they find out
Maybe they knew it a long time ago, maybe its a new discovery, but for whatever reason they end up possessing frisk and theyre like “what the heck”
And frisk still has most of the control
But now chara is like,,, “this is my chance, im a human again, gotta save the world for real,,,”
and they cant explain this to anyone without revealing their past
so they just chill in frisk’s mind while being super crypic and trying to figure out how it works
Pacifist route, this is pretty much exactly what happens
They manage to help frisk save the day
And in my headcanon, the no mercy route is started by frisk who is scared when faced by monsters attacking them
And then chara, who was aready hiding in a semidepression coma for a while, immediately transitions to a panicked “gotta protect this body, gotta protect my chance to be human, i died and threw away my chance to save everyone the first time, i CANNOT lose this chance again”
And so the combination of both frisk and chara is the genocide run
Because frisk kills in self defense, and whenever frisk hesitates, chara jumps in
Also theres leftover feelings from the whole asriel incident
Because again, ghosts come from monsters who died unsatisfied
And chara’s main source of unsatisfaction is how they were trying to get asriel to kill people before he died and then he didnt
So thats a strong strong feeling ruling them
So anyway by the time they both realize how bad its become they figure its too late and also the amount of LOVE has made them numb
And thats when chara who, despite everything, still has idiot hero complex and thinks they need to save the world
So, while panicking, they step in at the very end, and erase the timeline and delete everything
And also to clarify
They DONT HAVE this power at any other point in the game
Because, guess why
They become corporeal
Just like maddy, the no mercy route is the only thing that gives them strong enough emotion to spontaneously become corporeal
So they become corporeal and as soon as they have a soul again and can reset again, they just erase everything
Ok back to fluff
Post pacifist route, they are still a non corporeal ghost
They can still float around and look just like the other blooks
And it takes them a while to open up about things, but they do end up moving back in with blooky so that blooky isnt completely alone
And also they do way better with a family
Also they can float through the mountain and talk to flowey down below and bring him news
And now that they know about him, they can bond with him and explain that they dont have a soul either but that doesnt mean theyre worthless
Oh ALSO
The other dead humans dont have ghosts
BECAUSE
ghosts only come from restless dead MONSTERS
and chara is the weird special exception
Because they were a monster when they died
They became a ghost and asriel didnt because they were way more restless and stressed than asriel was when both of them died
Like sure, asriel felt awful, but chara was the one who was way more like “this is my fault, i CANT die now, the world NEEDS me”
So anyway
charablook the emo tween ghost and asriel flowey the eldrich goat daisy are siblings once more and they hang out and eventually they are okay and have a family again
Thank you for reading, this has been my thoughts on a crack theory that accidentally went too far
This isnt even everything, maybe i’ll make a part two eventually, but i promised to have this post out like two days ago, so i wanted to post SOMTHING
Anyway leave your thoughts if youd like
Im not looking for people to disprove it, i already know its crazy, i dont think it was intentional by the game writers, but i do think its a fun concept
thats the fun of it, so if anyone wants to run with it im all for it lol
Thanks again! Have a nice day!

For the oc questions, what about 5, 8 and 12 for both Rowan and your starlight oc (I don't remember their name but i saw you talking to Lucas about them a while ago and they looked,,, So cool) and 25 for Rowan because I am literally down on one knee ready to marry him
ajshqjdjqhdj tysm im so glad u like them 😢😢 and my starlight ocs name is atlas!!!
5. how easy is it to earn their mistrust?
for rowan, its surprisingly not easy. his trust is very hard to earn, so for the people who do earn it, he holds them on a higher pedestal and therefore will endure a lot more behavior from them that would usually result in him not trusting them anymore;;; if that made any sense lmao
for atlas, its also a little hard, mostly because they try to have a hopeful and positive outlook on everyone they meet and believes that almost everyone deserves a second (third,,, fourth,,,,, even fifth) chance
8. what were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child?
rowan was told nearly everyday to start being more like his sister, sage (one of the leading causes of him inferiority complex lolz) and he was also often told to speak up since he's naturally really softspoken
on the other hand, atlas was always told to pipe down or chill out (which they never did. bless) and to stop talking so loudly. their parents used to joke that they'd make them both go deaf
12. how do they deal with an itch found in a place they can't quite reach?
im not sure if this is like. a metaphor but im gonna take it literally bc its funny to think about lamoaao
rowan will slam his body into things to try and like. beat the itch out?? hike if the middle of his back itches, he'll just slam it into the corner of a wall (gavin saw him do this once and thought he finally lost it)
atlas will use ANYTHING to reach it. whatevers closest to them. pencil? yea. literally a whole carrot that theyre about to cook? sure. a FUCKING KITCHEN KNIFE?? unsafe but absolutely, theyve done it before and the probably will do it again
25. what are their thoughts on marriage?
im sorry shawdy bae but he hhhaaates the concept of marriage. hes all fine and good with loving someone and choosing to spend their lives together, but the idea of getting the government involved rubs him the wrong way. plus the way hes seen legal marriages turn out just,,,, not for him

D.A.R.E - JJ Maybank
Request: Heyo. If your requests are open, do you think you could write one where the reader doesnt drink nor smoke? JJ's friends make fun of her because of that, too. Like, theyre on the boat, chilling. And someone offers the reader a beer, but declines and drinks out of her water bottle. Just some fluff too with JJ. - @unique-equestrian
A/N: Sorry this took some time to get through, thanks for being patient. 
Outer Banks Masterlist
☯︎ ☯︎ ☯︎ ☯︎
You had been surprised the when JJ asked you out. It was a party on the beach that your friend dragged you to and he had offered you a beer while pouring one for your friend and you’d told him you didn’t drink. You didn’t like the taste of it; just like you didn’t like the smell of weed and so you didn’t smoke either. Something he found out on your first day when he asked if you wanted a hit from the blunt he was smoking and you said the smell grossed you out.  
He’d laughed, “I smoke all the time, it’s probably all I smell like.”
“I know.” You’d replied, “consider this a testament to how much I like you that I haven’t left.”
You got used to the smell on him but you still didn’t smoke and you still didn’t drink. You weren’t interested and JJ was surprisingly unbothered by it. But it was different to abstain from substances when you were just with JJ or your friends but with his friends you felt like the odd person out. Which didn’t mean that you were going to suddenly cave and start drinking but you did feel a little out of place while you sat on the boat watching them all grab beers out of the cooler Kiara had brought along.  
JJ sitting next to you, arm draped over your shoulder. He was starting in on his third beer, telling Pope he was a wuss for still sipping at his first.  
“Don’t let him bully you Pope,” you said, nudging your boyfriend in the ribs.  
“I’m not! I just didn’t know he was such a lightweight!” JJ replied, “you’re trying to compete with this one to see who can stay sober the longest.” He held  his beer bottle between his legs as he pulled closer rubbing his fist against the top of your head.  
“Stop it! JJ!” You laughed, shoving him and trying to break out of his grasp but he held on. “Let go!” You finally managed to duck your head under his arm and pull away, grabbing your water bottle and moving to sit next to Pope. He laughed as you fixed your hair.  
“Did you get a beer?” Kiara asked, holding on out to you, “might help deal with him.”  
“Ah, no thanks, I don’t drink.” You held your water bottle up by the lid before twisting the cap open and taking a sip.  
“No fucking way JJ, you didn’t tell me you were dating a girl who didn’t drink.” John B exclaimed. You could hear the disbelief in his voice.  
Meanwhile Kiara reached for your water bottle, asking to see the stickers that you had stuck to it. She mouthed ‘I love these’ as John B and JJ continued to discuss your non-drinking. You smiled and nodded.  
“She doesn’t smoke either.” JJ said, “even though weed is totally natural.”  
“I don’t like the smell.” You shrugged, “I don’t wanna smell like that all day.”
“JJ smells like that all day.” John B pointed out.  
“I know I keep trying to break up with him but he won’t leave me alone.” You teased.  
“Hey!”
“I’m kidding!”
“Seriously though, have you ever tried it?” John B asked.  
“Smoking?” You turned back to look at him and missed the change in JJ’s face. No longer laughing, he was waiting with a practical scowl on his face to see what his friend’s point was.  
“And drinking.”
“Uh, I’ve tried like, beer before. It was just really gross, I didn’t like it. And I don’t like the smell of weed so I’ve never tried that. Or like regular cigarettes either. My dad’s a pretty heavy smoker so it kinda turned me off of the whole thing.”
“Yeah but weed is different than cigarettes.”
“She said she doesn’t smoke.” JJ said.  
“I’m just asking man.” John B replied, holding his hands up.
“It’s okay,” you insisted, looking back to JJ, “it’s fine.”
Conversation lulled back to normal, Kiara moving over next to you to tell you that she liked the environmental sticker you had on your water bottle and talking about a beach clean-up that she wanted to take part in next week. You mentioned your slow but mindful attempts at sustainable living and a more plant-based diet and she was practically announcing to the whole boat that she was going to steal you from JJ. Every once in a while you would look up from your conversation and smile at your boyfriend, making a dumb face or just winking when you caught him looking your way. Which he did, a lot.  
“Do you wanna anchor here?” John B asked, slow the HMS Pogue to a stop.  
“What are we doing?” You asked, looking over at JJ.  
“Swimming.”  
“You can swim right?” John B teased.
“Fucking lay off would you.”
“Hey, it’s fine.” You swore, grabbing JJ’s arm.  
JJ sat back on the bench while Kiara and Pope both moved to the front of the boat to get in the water, John B following after them. “Is my juul in your bag?” He asked, already reaching for the backpack you had sitting beneath the bench.  
“Probably.” You pulled off your clothes and folded them but didn’t bother getting in the water with the others, opting to sit with JJ instead. You sat beside him, facing him and taking his free hand in yours while he smoked. “John B was just joking.”
“I don’t care. It pisses me off. Who gives a shit if you don’t drink or whatever, he shouldn’t be hasseling you. You can do whatever the fuck you want.” JJ said.  
“I know that.” You kissed his shoulder. This wasn’t the first time he’d gotten pissed at someone for making a comment about you. But it was the first time you’d hung out with his friends and he had been excited for them to meet you. Hearing John B make fun of you for not drinking just got under his skin. “Don’t stress, I’m not bothered.”
“Fine.”  
“That’s super convincing.” You teased, kissing his cheek this time and pulling away enough that he could turn his head so you could kiss him on the lips. You pulled away and scrunched your nose up when smoke seeped out of his mouth as you kissed him. “Would you stop doing that?” You laughed.  
“I can’t help it! Stop kissing me when I’m smoking.”
“You realize you’re always smoking right?” You asked.  
“Fuck.” JJ groaned, “fine we’ll compromise. I’ll smoke less but you have to make out with me more.”  
“So what do you get out of it? Cause it sounds like a win-win for me.”  
JJ leaned over and kissed your neck, grinning when when you tried to hunch your shoulder. You were ticklish just about everywhere and JJ took every opportunity to tease you about it. Especially when he was macking on you.  
“Hey, are you guys coming in or not?” Kiara called, breaking your attention.  
“Hold on!” JJ shouted.  
“Come on, let’s go in.” You stood up, still holding his hand and trying to pull him with you. “We can continue this later when you’re friends aren’t right there.”
“Fine,” he groaned, slipping the vape back in your bag, “hey you know it doesn’t bother me you don’t drink or smoke right?”
��I know.”

Pilot: Part Two
Pairings: eventual Joey x reader
authors note: i own nothing from friends, all credit goes to their respective owners. feedback is always appreciated.
Feeback is the glue that holds my writing together!
Tumblr media
PART ONE here
the next morning, you were up bright and early, ready for a long day of work, but you loved your job, you worked at victoria’s secret. you weren’t a model or anything you were just a sales person, you didn’t make thousands, but it was enough to get by.
you took a shower and got dressed, after doing your regular day things you headed to monica’s apartment, as you knew that would be where everyone was.
you were about to open the door when monica and paul walked out, “oh, morning you two!” you sent monica a smirk and she glared before letting you in,
“morning all!” you smiled at the fact they had pushed monica’s table closer to the door, to hear.
“i had a really great time last night,” you heard monica say, as you sat down at the table next to chandler and opposite joey.
you saw them kiss and then monica walked in and closed the door, smiling,
“that wasn’t a real date,” joey started, smiling, “what the hell do you do on a real date?” he asked her, laughing.
“shut up and put my table back,” monica said to him, walking to the kitchen,
“all right kids, i gotta get to work. if i don’t input those numbers.... it doesn’t make much of a difference,” chandler said, making rachel stare at them all,
“so, like, you guys all have jobs?” she asked them and monica turned around,
“yeah we all have jobs,” monica smiled sweetly at her,
“that’s kind of how we, buy stuff,” you added onto monica’s sentance,
“yeah. i’m an actor,” joey told her and she perked up,
“wow, would i have seen you in anything?” she asked him,
“oh, i doubt it. mostly regional work,” he told her and both you and chandler scoffed.
“oh wait. unless you happened to catch the wee ones production of pinocchio,” monica told her, sitting down,
“‘look, gepetto, i’m a real live boy,” chandler quoted, and joey got up,
“i will not take this abuse,” he sighed,
“you’re right, i’m sorry,” chandler started, going for the door, “‘once i was a wooden boy, a little wooden boy!’” he sang, running out of the door, joey sighed then followed him,
“i better go too, gracie wants me in early because her “number one” client, jamie is coming in for his girlfriend,” you said to the ladies, standing up from your seat,
“wait, y/n, what do you do?” rachel asked you,
“i work at victoria’s secret,” you smiled at her and she smirked,
“yeah, she does!” monica laughed,
“oh, monica would you grow up? i’m not a model or anything i just work in the store, and sometimes i actually get to pick out some of the outfits that could potentially be on the runway,” you smiled and left the building, seeing joey and chandler walk down the stairs you ran to catch up to them, “guys! wait up!”
you all walked downstairs, talking about work when you got outside, and called yourself a cab,
“see you later, guys,” you smiled at them and left to go to work,
once you got there, gracie greeted you with a smile,
“y/n! good to see you! shall we begin?” you nodded at her and she continued, “okay, so, jamie is going to be in soon and he said he wasnt sure what to get her so i know you can help with that, and he said you two have the same body types so that’ll make it even better!” you nodded before going to restock some of the things while you waited.
about a half an hour later you felt a tap on your back, you turned around to see a tall, very good looking man standing over you,
“are you y/n?” he asked you, you nodded and smiled,
“yes, you must be jamie?” you shook his hand that he held out for you as he spoke,
“yes, i’m uh, here for my girlfriend,” he reminded you that he had a girlfriend so you backed off,
“yes okay, is it a special occasion or just a night in or, well you know,” you smiled up at him and he nodded,
“last one,” he laughed and you smiled, he had the nicest laugh.
“okay well, any specific things she likes, color or material wise?” you asked him, and he shook his head,
“uh no, i believe the only thing she told me was, i need some lingerie for tonight, so unless you can figure out the stuff from that i have no idea,” he laughed which made you chuckle,
“um, okay i’m sure we can find something for her, follow me please,” you said to him and he followed you,
after a long time of talking and looking at stuff you finally finished your shift for the day and headed home,
“bye, gracie!” you called out to her,
“bye, y/n! see you tomorrow,” she called back.
you caught a cab and they drove you back to the apartment complex, you headed straight to your apartment to change before joining the rest of them at central perk. monica was explaining what paul had said to her and then what a girl at work had said to her,
“of course it was a line!” joey exclaimed,
“why? why would anybody do something like that?” monica frantically asked,
“i assume we’re looking for an answer more sophisticated than, to get you into bed,” ross answered her question.
“is it me?” she asked them, “is it like i have some sort of beacon that only dogs and men with severe emotional problems can hear?” she asked them.
“alright, come here. give me your feet,” pheobe said, monica sat down and pheobe started massaging monica’s feet.
“i just, thought he was nice, you know?” monica said to them, and you sighed, putting an arm around her,
“i’m sorry, mon’,”  you said to her and she leaned into you, it was silent for a while before joey spoke up,
“i cant believe you didn’t know it was a line!” he laughed before you shoved him off the couch.
“guess what?!” rachel yelled, running into the coffee house, making everyone look at her,
“you got a job?” ross asked her,
“are you kidding? i’m trained for nothing!” she said weirdly excited, “i was laughed out of twelve interviews,” she said still happily.
“and yet you’re surprisingly upbeat,” chandler pointed out,
“you would be too, if you found joan and david boots on sale, 50% off,” she said, passing monica the box of the boots.
“oh, how well you know me,” chandler sarcastically said.
“theyre my new, i-don’t-need-a-job, i-don’t-need-my-parents, i’ve-got-great-boots boots!” she exclaimed,
“uh, rach?” you asked her and she nodded looking at you, “how’d you pay for them?”
“a credit card,” she answered you,
“and who pays for that?” monica asked her,
“uh.. my father,” she mumbled walking to the counter, but everybody heard,
“i’ve got an idea,” you said to them before explaining your idea and walking with them all back to the apartment,
“come on! you can’t live off your parents your whole life,” monica told rachel,
“i know that. that’s why i was getting married!,” she explained to her.
“give her a break, it’s hard being on your own for the first time.” pheobe siad to monica, and rachel calmed down, looking at pheobe,
“thank you,” she thanked her.
“you’re welcome, i remember when i first came to this city, i was 14, my mom had just killed herself and my stepdad was back in prison. and i got here and i didn’t know anybody, and i ended up living with this albino guy, who was cleaning windshields outside port authority, and then he killer himself! and then i found aroma therapy, so believe me i know exactly how you feel,” pheobe explained, rubbing rachel’s back.
everybody was silent and staring at her as she got up,
“the world you’re looking for is... anyway,” ross said, sitting in her seat.
“all right. you ready?” you asked her, holding up the scissors and she looked at you,
“i don’t think so.” she sighed,
“oh come on! cut! cut! cut!” ross started chanting and everyone joined in,
“cut! cut! cut! cut! cut!” everyone yelled.
she grabbed the scissors as ross held out the credit cards and she cut them one by one, after she was finished everybody cheered,
“well done rachel!” you exclaimed, hugging her.
“welcome to the real world! it sucks. you’re gonna love it,” monica told her.
it was later in the night and you were chilling with chandler and joey, in their apartment,
“i’m serious! i don’t help the women change, i hand them the clothes and they change, if they like it they tell me, you idiot!” you exclaimed at joey,
“oh come on, y/n. you’re telling me that you’ve never looked,” he pressed,
“nope, i’ve never looked,” you said to him, grabbing your coat.
“well kid’s i’m gonna go home, i need sleep,” you said walking to the door,
“bye,” chandler waved,
“later,” joey said, and you went to your apartment and crashed there for the night.
the next morning you were all hanging out at the coffee house like usual,
“i can’t believe what i’m hearing here,” joey sighed,
“i can’t believe what i’m hearing here,” pheobe repeated joey but sang it instead,
“what? i said you had-” monica was cut off by pheobes singing,
“what i said you had,” she sang,
“would you stop?” monica asked her,
“was i doing it again?” she asked them,
“yes!” everyone yelled at her.
“would anybody like more coffee?” rachel said, walking up with an apron on and coffee in her hand.
“did you make it or are you just serving it?” chandler asked her,
“i’m just serving it,” she said to him,
everyone raised there mug up to her
“yeah i’ll have some!”
“yeah,”
“me please,”
“kids, new dream,” chandler started, “i’m in las vegas. i’m liza minnelli,” he starts and the guys start nodding at him.

IF LILY DATED...
Tumblr media
HI this is a long post. the idea for this was inspired by my favorite @delicatejisung who also has an nct dream oc that you MUST follow. also i know the edit sucks. also also i write very light nsfw stuff in this. like mentions but no smut cuz i don’t do that. HOWEVER there are no nsfw mentions w jisung. ik teens do whatever and lily is only a year older than him but 1.) i will not do that because he is still a minor and 2.) they just aren’t like that together. they don’t need it
THIS IS ALL HYPOTHETICAL NONE OF IT IS OFFICIALLY CANON. lmk which ones sound cute cuz even tho it’s not gonna happen .. lilno and chenlil might have stolen my heart
mark:
you can bet they’d be so completely in love with each other
very sweet, very romantic
“baby” “babe”
in front of the camera they’re normal, the same amount of affection as usual, oftentimes less
lily, when mark is talking or being unintentionally attractive: *bites bottom lip, looks up a little, seems like she’s trying not to smile*
he does his rap in mfal to her randomly and it’s cringey and funny but he does it to make her smile because he knows it’s her fav title track
when she sings he smiles so wide because in his opinion. there is no sound more beautiful than her voice
they talk to each other so well. like. they can sit for HOURS just talking and it never gets old to them
writes genuine love letters to her but will cringe and hate himself if he gives them to her until she gets teary and smiles
her basically giving him book reports about the books she reads and he literally falls more in love with her when she’s screaming about the novels because she is so PASSIONATE
her falling asleep in the practice rooms or studio late at night because she INSISTS on staying with him
and when he kisses her he likes to tilt her chin up with his hand of holds both sides of her face
hyuck taking credit for the whole relationship
she has a collage of polaroids of them, of him (including some of the ones from qtah) that are separate from her other photos of friends (she has a lot)
mark has a few polaroids of her that he keeps by his bed and he always smiles when he sees them
HE 10000% WRITES SONGS FOR HER AND SHOWS HER BUT HES REALLY NONCHALANT ABOUT IT
she never calls him oppa (even a bit before they start dating tbh)
when she has to do sexy performances or just acts sexy you will 100% find mark at his most awkward
they will have fun doing ANYTHING they’ll be happy through anything if they’re together
they could go through five watermelons in a day
konglish all the time. and getting excited/thinking something is funny and jumping and screaming
“can i have your netflix password, lils?” “mark you’re literally richer than me and still use all of my accounts”
her getting embarrassed by him and giggling
she will continue her campaign to get mark to play spiderman
lazy days making music, him watching her cook, binge watching american reality shows she likes, and literally just days where theyfe in bed and make out and talk and make out
shopping trips all the time
they love to do activities together. like, they’ll go places and try new things
she’s desperate to visit his home and his family
and they have their ideal life planned. like. if they weren’t idols they’d get an apartment together. they wanna have some pets together. they have trips they’d like to go on together
they grew up together, they’ve loved each other for years, they’ve been pillars of support
but as much as they’ve loved each other they grew to be IN love with each other
but teased by every unit especially 127. wbk.
they’re more.. private than the others. they’re alone together a lot and don’t overdo it in front of the others
SLIGHT nsfw below. no smut but. and then some fluff near the end <3
ummm so like. vanilla for the most part even tho lily is a bit more ✨wild✨
oh um. ass grabs. when they’re alone but. constantly
when they get comfy with each other (read: when mark finds confidence and is comfy) he will always have his hands on her ass
even just resting there
mirror selfies with his hand on her ass
if he can’t touch her ass, it’s always a hand on her thigh
very affection when alone together, moderate when they’re with others
he likes to lay on her stomach and she loves when he lays on her shirtless
so many days where they just lay in bed together, tangled in lily’s blankets, music playing in the background, lazy makeout sessions... need i go on? CUTE SHIT
mark isn’t great at expressing his emotions publicly, and they hold so much of their relationship just between them. they both always know how much they love each other
renjun:
so they’re SOFT
song covers together
she tries to learn mandarin but. she ends up getting frustrated that she can’t get it and renjun kisses it better
he tells her the wrong words in mandarin a lot and it has fucked her over a lot, especially in lives
“oppa, how do you say ‘i bought that shirt for renjun?’”
*in mandarin* “i am in love with renjun”
they’d be a bit more obvious about their feelings, a bit more touchy
when they confess, they’re together right away, no questions asked. they literally need each other
sleepovers every night and they’re generally really cozy
lily reading, renjun drawing, a movie playing on her laptop that they aren’t paying too much attention to
renjun has specific articles of clothing he puts aside in his closet because he KNOWS she’s gonna take those specific ones
he is very into giving her flowers and little gifts
shes asked him to give her mf art lessons LMAO
ended with them covering each other in paint and making a MESS
they’re silly together, they’re the couple who knows how to cook but starts playing with the ingredients and makes a mess
they leave sticky notes for each other everywhere
lily jumping into his arms
constant pecks on the lips. the dreamies are sick of it. so sick of it.
deep talks late at night
lily being funny and having a box of his stuff in her room even though they live in the same place
nomin threatening renjun
but then lily fourth wheeling with them all
somehow they become even more of a savage duo
when they make eye contact while performing they’ll make faces at each other
he turns the koala joke into her pet name
so he calls her koala and she calls him a pain in her ass
SOFT KISSES he always cups one side of her face
he braids her hair a lot or does cute little styles
lots of cafe dates
will KILL any of the others if they wake her up when she’s sleeping
the type of romance that’s sappy but also they can most definitely roast each other
she likes to wrestle him LMAOO
the way they’re basically chenji’s babysitters is SO FUNNY it started to happen a lot right after they got together
they want to adopt a puppy and name him moomin
SLIGHT nsfw below. no smut but. and then some fluff near the end <3
okay so it’s kinda.. more hesitant and sometimes she takes the lead more than he does
their make out sessions are more heated but don’t always lead to something
like the way it’s going youd THINK it’d be something, but then they just decide to watch a movie and go to bed
he really likes her neck and collarbones but can’t do much to her neck because yknow they’re idols
there’s almost no insecurity in their relationship
it’s very relaxed and loving, and everyone around them can see and feel the love
jeno:
a bit unexpected
a ✨whirlwind romance✨
lilno? more like lilmino because jaemin is always there
a part of her was genuinely sad that she broke up nomin and everyone looks at her like she’s crazy
torn between her love for him and letting him go if jaemin confessed
they can be a bit more obvious in front of fans than the others, because for some reason there isn’t much suspicion there
in front of czennies he lowkey flexes and picks her up over his shoulder a lot, has his arm around her a lot, and they wink at each other from across the set
he holds her waist a lot, and he’s super protective
but also the !! softness !!
have literally been walked in on several times of them just peppering each other with kisses and laughing and its literally lowkey a movie romance
working out together
practicing dances together
the type of guy to literally ignore everything she’s saying because her beauty distracted him
she hits him on the arm for that
passionate kisses
there have been too many times where the others walk in the kitchen and lily is sitting on the kitchen counter with her arms around jeno’s neck as they’re just making out
they’re the couple that’s yelled at by the dreamies the most because sometimes they need to chill out
LMAO THEYRE LIKE THE HORMONAL HIGH SCHOOL COUPLE
and like they love each other deeply and fully, it’s not high school in that regard
but they giggle too much and are kinda all over each other sometimes
they use pet names just a BIT too much
the older guys are a bit more protective of her with him than they would be with any of her other options
cuz while they’re softies
they escalate their relationship super quick
and it’s RIGHT for them
but the hyungs are protective
jeno surprisingly isn’t that jealous because if he could actually get lily
he knows neither of them are going anywhere
him constantly telling her how beautiful she is
her encouraging him and telling him he’s so talented and more than he thinks he is
when they ride the tandem bikes (i think that’s what they’re called? the bikes with two people?) it’s just jeno pedaling
OH and when they make eye contact during stages it only enhances their stage presence because they both wanna look sexy for their boo
jeno is rooting for lily solo because he knows she deserves it
super sweet and wholesome and they make each other smile so WIDE
she pops his zits for him LMAO
cuddles for DAYS and jeno’s fav thing is when she falls asleep in his arms
touches his muscles all the time
SLIGHT nsfw below. no smut but. and then some fluff near the end <3
they make out so much OMG
a bit wilder than she would be with others
she loves to run her hand down his abs
when she does that or touches his biceps it lowkey turns him on
jeno is a bit more reserved than the others at times, but with lily he feels utterly HIMSELF
he doesn’t feel like the jeno who is just a hot rapper. he feels more than that with her
they bring the light out in each other
hyuck:
another unexpected pair but a lot more expected than jeno/lily would be
they’re both literal sunshine and they would be such a beautiful couple
lily aka the only human alive to fluster hyuck
and even THAT doesn’t happen very often
hyuck’s lap = lily’s seat
SO touchy and affectionate but not in the way lily/jeno would be
it’s like constant hand holding, hugging, sitting on each other, leaning on each other, stars in there mf EYES
while they still tease each other and mess around
i have a very specific image in mind of them waking up together, hyuck leaning over her, the biggest smiles on their faces, and then kissing each other
and lily’s just like “hi” with the cutest smile, and then he says it back with the same smile
it might surprise you but hyuck POSSESSIVE
will gatekeep her and not let anyone hug her
always calls her his girlfriend in front of the members
he stands behind her with an arm around the middle of her torso a lot and she’s just absentmindedly playing with his fingers
only a tiny, lil bit obvious in front of czennies because they’re both so affectionate?? and before they dated lily would call him the love of her life?? and keep her face close to his?? this is NORMAL for them
but one of the biggest clues is hyuck being physically unable to not stare at her lips sometimes
they read each other’s tarot nearly every day HAHAH
very romantic as well
she sings him “you are my sunshine” all the time, just stroking his face and staring at him with all of the love in the world
like i said, they still tease the fuck outta each other and roast each other and are at each other’s throats but then they can flip INSTANTLY
he kisses her knuckles and traces her face
he games and she’s falling asleep on his lap
127 squad doesn’t like when they’re being forward because haechannie is the maknae
she loves life cuz more hyuck = more taeil
he will move mountains to make her laugh or see her smile
he’s begging sm for a sexy dance break with the two of them
she’s obsessed with how gorgeous his skin is
the type of boyfriend that notices the tiny little things
he’ll do things/get things for her just because he thought of her or remembered something she said
SLIGHT nsfw below. no smut but. and then some fluff near the end <3
another one that’s a bit wilder
theyre not shy LMAO
steamy intense makeouts like
how is he so good? lily is very satisfied
overall they’re such a fun beautiful HAPPY couple
theyre both so loving and wonderful and there is not one single doubt in anyone’s mind that they love each other fully
jaemin:
literally impossible in any universe
chenle:
lily and chenle have always been two sides of the same coin and he had been waiting for so long
the SMILES
the most beautiful happy smiles at each other ALWAYS because how did they get so lucky?
they were each other’s first proper kiss (canonically, as well)
it’s perfect because they’re best friends and always have been
nothing much changes except the affection and little things because they’re both still best friends
jisung being on all of their dates
he always buys her expensive shit and she hates it so much
she puts on lipstick JUST to kiss his cheek
jisung has walked in on them vibing, on them making out, and yeah he’s sick of it and so happy he only saw them kissing
always sleeping in the same room (usually at his place 👀) but theyre a huge mess when they sleep at night and someone ends up hitting the other because chenle moves too much for her liking
they’re still competitive and of course they still have their alliance
because dating or not, they would fight to the death on that rooftop
chenle literally will kiss every inch of her face because he likes hearing her giggles and he can’t believe he finally got his lily
CUDDLING ALL THE TIME and they’ve fallen asleep on the couch in the dorms and when they’re sleeping HARD the others like to see how many things they can balance on their heads
he will HYPE HER UP ALWAYS
but then say summ like “her face is weird tho” after and unless they’re in front of fans he ends up kissing her after she hits him
when she has to be sexy on stage, he is HERE FOR IT even if the stage is with another person because!! YES his girlfriend is hot, he’s LUCKY
she loves going to his house!! mostly because his family but also
they get to have privacy and be a couple
they’ll hold hands on camera cuz they don’t give a single fuck
they’re definitely outed and have to go public
which just makes their competitive streak and constant roasts WORSE
she loves the sound of his laugh but will yell at him if it hurts her ears
threatens to get one of his predebut photos tattooed on her
a big part of them loving each other is annoying each other and being soft behind the scenes
always together
SLIGHT nsfw below. no smut but. and then some fluff near the end <3
the more intimate aspects of the relationship were really weird at first
but they’re very compatible so it was just fun to them
he WILL honk her boob. has done it in front of the others by accident and jaemin forbid her to see him for a few days
they kinda taught each other how to kiss way before they dated so it was funny when they did it as a couple
peak friends-to-lovers and even czennies can’t help but love then
jisung:
god their shyness is kinda annoying
really confident in private- they talk a lot, they’re very good at just chilling
but lily has to be the one to hold his hand because he’ll get nervous even when he’s so comfy in the relationship
i mean not that the dreamies have time to be in a relationship, but jisung was so SCARED to kiss her and have his first kiss
she thought it was funny
clumsy duo and they tease tf outta each other for it
chenle always being around
they can’t tell who the members are more protective over in the relationship
hugs!!! she loves to backhug him and he thinks it’s cute cuz she’s so tiny
they watch harry potter too much
she has almost convinced him to ride a rollercoaster but ended up failing
he makes fun of her height a lot and then she’ll trip him or something
he’s kinda protective and gets insecure that he’s younger than her sometimes but she just kisses his cheek and tells him to stop worrying
tbh they’re the most innocent, wholesome couple
they wanna go out on dates and they do but catch another member tagging along to babysit them
she gets wine drunk next to him and he can’t drink so he just has this drunk woman on his hands and doesn’t know what to do but honestly she just wants him to cuddle her to sleep
his voice is her favorite sound and she wants him to sing more
whenever anyone says something weird about jisung they both hold up the handcuffs cuz
they’re super weird they can be so confident and then one of them gets flustered and will be a shy baby
trading lines in concerts
lily making cute faces at him, staring at him blankly, winking at him, acting cute to him in front of fans
they share one braincell together and probably accidentally outed themselves by using pet names and like. holding hands on live
and then the OH SHIT face happens
they’ve given the older members heart attacks because he’ll give her a piggyback ride, they’ll hug really tight, or WORSE... they’ll give each other a lil kiss
they’re more innocent by nature but they love kissing and he loves holding her face because her skin is pretty and soft
he wears her perfume on his wrist so he can smell her and smile
the type of boyfriend who is CLUELESS about girl stuff
he wants her to try a different hair color. like a weird one
she refuses
taeyong actually loves them together so much
them dating and being IN LOVE and jisung still gives her cash for her birthday
the “i love you’s” are so. cute. and full. of. LOVE
she is merciless when theyre playing something against each other. she’ll TRY to get him out
usually lily is clingier but when she’s standing and jisung is sitting with his arms around her waist and his head squished to her side it’s so cute
he gets randomly really clingy at times and won’t let go of her
emotional bub will get teary because he loves her so much

So... What would you say if there's a a ship between Yusei, Jufai, and Johan? Not sure if there's a name for it. I think Yusei and Johan would spoil Judai.
Holy shit you’re a genius I guess their ship name would be universeshipping? Dunno if this exists for another ship tho but I’m gonna call it that and for fun 5Ds timeline takes place a couple years after GX and satellite is another place all together
Theyre all the same age more or less Judai’s 25 and Yusei and Johan are 26
1. Who makes the first move and how?
Johan makes the first move and tells Judai he likes him because if he doesn’t then no one will, from there its Judai who invites Yusei in later after meeting him during a tag duel tournament
2. Who is the most insecure and what makes them feel better?
Judai and sometimes Yusei, Judai has a lot of PTSD to work through and anxiety, Yusei has self esteem things he struggles to work through. For Judai both Yusei and Johan make sure he’s grounded and that he knows they’re both here for him. Talking about it helps him remember everyone is ok. For Yusei he struggles with guilt over team satisfaction days and Kiryu, Judai and Johan work together to distract him and help Yusei feel loved.
3. Who is the most romantic?
Yusei surprisingly, but Martha always taught him to be kind, chivalrous and to put those he loves even high than a pedestal if he loves them and cherishes them.
Yusei buys a nice car with all that science money and takes them out on trips to the beach or to another city for the day. He builds them duel runners and helps them get their licenses, Judai is better at this than Johan but they want to enter as a team for the next circuit tournament.
Judai brings souvenirs from other dimensions, sometimes items and objects and other times whole ass spirits
Johan is more traditional, bringing a new tool Yusei needs back home or buying friend shrimp bento from the train station for Judai
4. Who can’t keep their hands to themselves?
Judai if course, he’s always touching Johan and Yusei, he’s very tactile and needs to touch the person he likes to confirm they’re still here. He’s always resting on Yusei’s shoulder or holding his knee when he works. For Johan he always holds his hand or arm and Johan likes to wrap an arm about Judai’s waist. Yusei isn’t as touchy as the other two but he’s the middle spoon damnit
5. Who says ‘I love you’ first?
Johan to Judai a few years after graduation when theyre hanging out at a bar and in the very late morning next day Johan asks and Judai laughs and says sure.
For Yusei after meeting him during the tag duel tournament Judai feels an instant spark between them. He asks Johan how would he feel about another partner and is a little worried when Johan takes a couple days to come back to him about it but he’s fully on board because he can’t deny he hasn’t thought about another partner. Judai tells him it’s Yusei and Johan is dying because shit he had his eye on the mechanic too.
So they invite Yusei everywhere and he shows up and this continued for a year or so when Yusei finally sits them down and says I don’t know if it just me or what but I really like you both and you’re dating and Judai almost explodes with love like NO SILLY WE LOVE YOU and Yusei startled and pleased says he loves them both back.
6. Who would they ask if they ever had a threesome?
They’re already a threesome they don’t need a four - not yet at least
7. What do they get up to on a night out?
When all their schedules align they go out to theatres or the movies. Sometimes they go back to Yusei’s orphanage to help out Martha and get the shovel talk from her and Crow who are both there to protect Yusei. But mostly they stay home and chill, eat euro japanese fusion food Johan and Judai are now masters at cooking and enjoy each other’s company.
8. What do they like in bed?
Yusei and Johan love spoiling Judai, so much that he’s become a little brat and it’s a good thing Yusei’s a brat tamer otherwise Johan would be lost without him. Judai likes to be edged until he’s mindless with need and Johan loves to play until that happens. Yusei enjoys checking on both of his lovers to make sure everyone’s happy and particularly loves it when they both end up so incoherent from working each other up that they need him to take over. Yusei doesn’t mind switching and neither does Judai but Johan stays firm as a top and they always wrestle him to try letting them take care of him for once.
9. What is the most embarrassing thing they have done in front of each other?
For Judai nothing is really embarrassing except the time he called Seto Kaiba Dad over the phone when Yusei and Johan were present. (Plot twist Kaiba is his Dad but no one from the public is meant to know) he had a lot of explaining to do.
Yusei often seen as deliberate and graceful tripping over his feet like a newborn foal when they go dancing together the first time, he doesn’t dance. Thankfully the other two get to sandwich him in the name of saving Yusei’s integrity and balance.
Johan spends a lot and randomly and hoards, Judai found the receipt for beauty items like body lotions, shampoo etc and he’s like JOHAN WHERE ARE THE REST OF THEM WHERE ARE YOU HIDING THEM, Johan guiltily points to the garage and Judai walks in and Yusei also looks guilty so he’s just YOU WERE ENCOURAGING HIM? Unbelievable
10. What two songs, two books and two luxury items do they take to a desert island?
Dunno one motivational song and one song that switches between languages for different verses. For books one survival guide and another on plants. Luxury items tool kit and solar panels
11. What do they hide from one another?
Judai hides his panic attacks a lot because he doesn’t want to burden the other two with them.
Yusei hides the fact he’s afraid of losing them
Johan hides when he’s sick, until he’s actually badly sick and the other two drop everything to care for him and scold him for not telling them sooner.
12. What first changes when it starts getting serious?
Between Judai and Johan not much it’s always been close and all for them. Yusei doesn’t sleep very much when he first realises he has a crush not on one of them but the both of them
13. When do they realise they should get together?
Judai and Johan get together when they’re wasted and thankfully remember it when they wake later despite their killer hangovers. Yusei confesses and they all get together because if its all mutual why not
14. When one has a cold, what does the other do?
If Judai is sick they spoil him, they get him any food he wants within reason and Yusei takes the day off work to be with him. Johan usually calls the doctor to make any appointments or to pick up meds
If Yusei is sick it takes both Johan and Judai to pin him down into bed, he will not rest ever and the fight is long and hard until finally Yusei switches tracks and is out instantly from exhaustion, from there the spirit duo watch over him and make sure hes hydrated etc
Johan waits until he’s got bronchitis level sick and they have to take his dumb ass to the ER
15. When they watch a film what do they choose and why? Who gets the final vote?
Judai gets final vote because we all know the other two will be too busy watching him rather than the damn movie
16. When the zombie apocalypse comes, how do they cope together?
They’re fine they keep each other alive and on their alert, eventually they find a survivors settlement to support, build and live in
17. When they find a time machine, where do they go?
I guess crimson dragon is the time machine, I dunno go back to the start of Battle City impersonate KC staff and watch the duels live
18. When they fight, how do they make up?
They rarely fight and if they do its over small things like why didn’t you check your phone messages, i asked you to buy milk Judai and you came home with a twelve pack, frozen shrimp and everything but the milk - they make up easily they know when to set aside their pride and say sorry
19. Where do they go on their first date?
For all three? Hiking and camping
20. Where do they go on holiday?
Somewhere new if they can afford it, maybe Europe
21. Where do they get nervous about going with one another?
Judai gets nervous whenever Yusei and Johan want to visit the other dimensions, shit happened there and he doesn’t want them to be hurt again
Yusei is nervous about taking them to meet Jack who is the strongest personality member of his family but Jack takes to Johan immediately for some reason, is it the crystal beasts ??? Or is it because Jack is white and so is Johan? 😂
Johan gets nervous about going to amusement parks because Yusei and Judai will make him ride every single rollercoaster without mercy
22. Where does their first kiss happen?
Judai and Johan first kiss after graduation but Judai stupidly doesn’t think it means much until later when Johan kisses him again and says he wants to date him
Yusei kisses Johan one morning theyre all together, Judai’s falling asleep into his toast and Johan has just passed Yusei a cup of coffee, Yusei gently pulls Johan in close and touches his cheek like may I and Johan nods so Yusei kisses him
Judai and Yusei kiss for the first time when Judai comes back overexcited about a new spirit he found that Yusei may like to add to his deck and Yusei waits until it’s revealed and Judai calls it into the house, its a monster that supports his synchros . He says yes and Judai jumps on him like thank you Yusei! I knew you’d say yes but I kind of promised that you would - an Yusei kisses him to shut up but also because he loves him so much
23. Where is their favourite place to be together?
They love to hang out at home, especially in the garage, half workshop and half cosy nest where Judai and Johan cuddle or dick around in whilst Yusei works on their runners
24. Where do they first do the do?
Judai and Johan first do it in a hotel room after reuniting and after they decide to start dating.
The first time with Yusei is at home where Judai announces he’s in the mood and both Johan and Yusei stand at the same time immediately, they’re so whipped
25. Why do they fight?
They rarely fight but sometimes its Yusei and Johan over who spoils Judai more and Judai has to step in to calm them down like I’m right here, kinda hurts my feelings when you talk about it and I can hear and it cools them off instantly because it isn’t Judai’s fault - its theirs - Johan spends too much on him sometimes and Yusei is too easy to say yes to dangerous things Judai wants to do like go tame wild spirits without back up
26. Why do they need to have a serious chat?
They need to have a serious chat about if they’re going to move in together and where will they go that has enough space if Judai keeps bringing home orphaned duel spirits
27. Why do their friends get annoyed with them?
Theyre cute, and they only have eyes for each other. Everyone feels like a fourth wheel and Shou and Manjoume won’t let them live it down. Shou really does like Yusei though, thinks his junk deck is ultra cool.
28. Why do they get jealous?
Yusei is jealous of Judai and Johan’s easy confidence, it was always hard for him to show it at first but now he’s better for it having two boyfriends to show him the ropes
Judai rarely if never gets jealous of anyone but he is occasionally very briefly jealous of how smart Yusei and Johan are - Yusei is a head astrophysicist and Johan is a successful clinic owning vet (you can pry this headcanon from my cold dead hands, Johan is absolutely a vet and specialises in animal rehabilitation)
Johan is a little jealous of Judai’s free spirit and the fact he doesn’t have a day job like himself or Yusei but that doesn’t mean he’s not busy, he’s always out hunting people down to take abused spirits from them, deal them judgement as the Supreme King and banish their souls to the shadow realm - Pegasus actually pays him really well to find new monsters for his company to paint and turn into new cards and ofc pays him for rescuing spirits. Judai and Pegasus have a deal where he calls up and passes on any jobs he feels will be for Judai
29. Why do they fall a little bit more in love?
Judai falls more in love every time they end up at home at the same time, because they can go to bed together and cuddle. He loves Johan more every time he talks about an animal he saved or a furry patient who had a funky name. He loves Yusei more every time he comes home and says his project is moving along as planned, he loves how Yusei talks to his own duel spirits and treats them all with equal love and respect.
Johan falls in love with Judai every time he wakes him and Yusei up at dawn to watch the sun rise. He loves Judai when he dances to music and gets them all up and stomping their feet. He loves Yusei when he opens up about his life and tells him about the rougher parts of his childhood. He loves how smart and bright both of them are with all his heart. He also thinks the crimson dragon tattoo Yusei has across his back is very sexy
Yusei falls a little harder each time Judai stays up late with him or waits outside his office at work until he’s done so they can drive or walk home together. He loves Judai’s energy and curious trivia about anything and everything, no conversation is boring with him. Yusei loves Johan a little more when they relax together with coffee and books while Judai is away, Johan is exceptionally handsome and beautiful all at once and Yusei wishes he was as good at drawing as Judai was so he could capture his best looks
30. Why does it work (or not work) between them?
It works because they’re busy people with busy lives but there’s always one of them at home at any given time - usually Judai as time between jobs is long and hard (he’s their house husband!) - waiting for the other two to come back to him. They know they’ve found home in each other and each day is a new opportunity to say I love you to each other.

More homestuuuuuck
I’m a little tired today so I don’t expect much intelligent analysis out of myself, but if anything classpecty happens I doubt I’ll be able to help myself regardless.
Tumblr media
oh, always
(EDITS: added note on horn colors, link to ask on potential Blood powers reference)
> CHAPTER 12. Really Convoluted Metaphorical Horseshit
Tumblr media
cuuute
In the bowels of a different ship, at a moment in time that is not pinpointable in either direction from the previous interaction, another Dave raps quietly to himself.
another dave raps quietly to himself.  i am glad that phrase exists it brings me joy
(LATER EDIT: A friend on Discord pointed out that throughout this entire update, Karkat's horns are #FF0000 red. They were normal candy-corn colors in previous glimpses at the ship crew, though they used a dark single-color shortcut typical of old Homestuck at one point... but THIS time it stays STARK red even when we zoom in close later. Is this just artistic liberty? Did Karkat color his horns for fashion? Does this happen to red-bloods like the Sufferer after a certain age? Just how much time has actually passed, here? We might have to wait for the commentary for this one.)
KARKAT: I WAS SAYING I THOUGHT WE MIGHT GO, I DUNNO, ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE ENTIRE SHIP WHILE THE CLOTHES WERE WASHING. KARKAT: SEEING AS THIS DECREPIT MACHINE WE WERE SO BLESSEDLY PROVIDED WITH MAKES A WHIRRING SOUND SO PANCHAFINGLY ARHYTHMIC THAT IT THREATENS TO ERADICATE THE ENTIRE CONCEPT OF TEMPO FROM THE UNIVERSE.
Karkat really has chilled out hasnt he?  like this is surprisingly level for him, and that fact is hilarious.
KARKAT: AND YET SOMEHOW BASICALLY ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE WE STARTED THE LOAD IS THAT YOU’VE BEEN USING IT AS A FUCKED UP BEAT TO WHISPER TO YOURSELF ABOUT FLOWERS TO.
oh gosh that’s why he’s rapping
> ==>
DAVE: kanaya was telling me this kids story the other day about this dude who didnt cherish a flower enough until it peaced out to do flower stuff idk its not pertinent to the story DAVE: except the flower was a person DAVE: because it was a metaphor
Oh right, coming back to the Little Prince stuff I was too lazy to metaphor-deep-dive into, and literally asking the same questions we were asking about who the Little Prince’s story applies to mapped here if anyone at all, like Dirk and such, or what biases were in the retelling of it and the way Kanaya phrased it.  So now we’re practically mocking it by deep diving it here, hence the last page’s “DAVE: i was just thinking through some really convoluted metaphorical horseshit”, which means we’re both about to further explore AND shit all over the existence of this story metaphor until it doesn’t mean anything and most of the meaning we drew from it earlier is made a joke~
well, not “we”, cause I was too lazy, so... y’all
DAVE: anyway what goes down in the story is that once the flower lady is out of the picture DAVE: the main character goes around making all these connections between her and everything else in the universe until every damn thing feels like a symbol for how much he fucked up and how much he will never see her again KARKAT: THIS SEEMS PRETTY FUCKING INTENSE FOR A KID'S STORY DAVE: yea thats pretty much what i said
Oh holy shit.  That’s yet another way to put it.  Are we doing a whole moral takedown of the Light aspect today?  cause it sounds like we’re taking a dump on the Light aspect and RoboRose getting too obsessed and immersed in it, which would be excellent
DAVE: but i guess its not so much what the story was technically textually about but more like the version of it kanaya internalized and then told me when we were talkin about how she misses rose
exactly
DAVE: so like now im taking the story she told me she was projecting her feelings onto and projecting my feelings on top of that
yes absolutely, you just rephrased it a different way with that exact same bias
DAVE: this is just one big game of emotional projection telephone so feel free to go paraphrase it to roxy later and make it about whatever fuckin thing youre currently missing
perfect. i need an emoji for that Italian thing for when you pinch your thumb and forefinger together and kiss it
ah this’ll do:
Tumblr media
its like the expression “choice” but in nonverbal form
[...] whatever fuckin thing youre currently missing KARKAT: YOUR ABILITY TO GET TO THE POINT DAVE: gotem DAVE: anyway you’re not gonna have to miss that skill of mine for long DAVE: get ready for this shit because i am about to slap you with the point so hard youll fall ass first into the washer DAVE: just scrambling around in there getting all sudsy DAVE: but your brain is gonna be so blasted from the mindfreak of a point im about to make that there wont be anything left to clean
Anytime dave is told to get to the point he is contractually obligated to spend at least 20 seconds talking about how he’ll get to the point in a way that is not getting to the point
DAVE: so its genuinely cool that kanaya can go around creating meaning that may or may not be actually present in every little thing DAVE: connecting every feeling she has to the idea of her wife existing out there DAVE: so i told her she should keep that shit up DAVE: but im having the opposite issue where im struggling to find anything to be that kind of tether because every single thing i could possibly consider about what it is were doing just reminds me of yet another thing to be afraid about
Great examples of Light being good and bad!  Attaching strands of connective meaning to everything.  --though, in Dave’s case AND Kanaya’s case you could argue it’s both bad in terms of effects.  That it’s great for Kanaya to care, but that she should be able to divest herself and live on her own terms without idealizing Rose literally everywhere she looks, personal growth which would be useful in helping bring Rose back to her in the first place.  The struggle they’re looking forward to is largely philosophical, not just physical, and until Rosebot acknowledges that she was wrong it’s not over.
DAVE: everything fuckin sucks huge cosmic donkey sack and im terrified KARKAT: OK, SO I FEEL LIKE YOU SKIPPED A COUPLE NECESSARY STEPS IN YOUR POINT CLARIFICATION PROCESS.
Pretty sure Dave was on the same page as most Epilogue and start-of-HS2 readers.  This situation is pretty bleak to dump our heroes into, no matter how much we believe will be resolved in the long run.
DAVE: ok but were you going with sweet or savory please give me that much at least KARKAT: YEAH IT WAS GOING TO BE SUNDAE-BASED. DAVE: nice KARKAT: YEAH. KARKAT: DO YOU WANNA WATCH MORE GBBO AFTER THIS? DAVE: absolutely
--ah, Great British Bake-Off, can’t say I’ve indulged
do they still have that?? did they save it from old Earth?  or did they go where unflooded Britain used to be and say hey, new show reboot
KARKAT: GREAT. ANYWAY, LIKE I WAS SAYING, FOR THE LOVE OF SWEET HUMAN CHRIST, PLEASE BACK UP TO WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU’RE ACTUALLY SCARED OF. KARKAT: ALSO COME HERE, IDIOT.
That last line is like, exactly as fucking sweet and awesome as we imagined their relationship to be.  :)
> ==>
Tumblr media
OH MY GOD THAT’S ADORABLE
DAVE: ok yeah this is a better position to unleash all my inner fears n anxieties from
indisputably.
DAVE: those times its like my mouth was saying words about the situation wherein our friends are AWOL and maybe dead but my brain wasnt fully letting me experience the emotion that goes along with them DAVE: man its like i cant even start genuinely thinking about how afraid i actually am for rose and john without my brain flippin its wad and whiting out DAVE: like haha fuck i hope theyre ok DAVE: now i better make a fuckin joke before i succumb to the gaping mouth of despair waiting for me to fall in it as soon as i look down and acknowledge that its there ogling how juicy my ass looks as it trembles with terror
I really hope that the writers of HS2 know full well that this feeling? the one Dave is describing here? is what many of us who got way overinvested in the well-being of Homestuck’s surviving characters felt reading the Epilogues and Homestuck^2.  So I really hope they’re working through it in a way that will result in a preponderance of GOOD THINGS happening and hope-filled situations.  Cause that “can’t even think about X” feeling is too familiar, and if they understand it as well as it LOOKS like they’re getting to, I’d really like them to give us a helping hand healing.
I think that’s what they’re going for?  Seems hopeful for me to think so, but they HAVE been doing better as HS2 has been going forward, from an emotional standpoint anyway; definitely better than the Epilogues.  And I’ve worked through some of that stuff with the help of that, because it’s MUCH easier nowadays to think about Homestuck without my gut clenching.
DAVE: i guess im just fucked up about how to worry about dirk and be angry at him at the same time DAVE: because if i get as unholy pissed at him as i sometimes wanna be i also gotta admit to myself that maybe i coulda done something different there
Mhmm, Karkat’s potentially a pretty good person to speak with here since he’s done so much work trying not to feel responsible for everything that’s ever gone wrong.
DAVE: also like DAVE: and this by the way adds a whole other layer of guilt on there that i dont really know how to fuckin reckon with but DAVE: even with all the shit hes pulled and the fact that we are more or less heading toward having to take him down DAVE: whatever that is gonna mean and whether or not he planned it like that DAVE: i just DAVE: me and him had come so far with each other and it was really cool for a while to have him and i DAVE: ugh DAVE: i dont WANT to hate him
Yeah, Dirk and Jane’s heel-turns were really shitty for anyone who was a fan of them in the fanbase, as well.
KARKAT: WELL THEN QUIT FUCKING PICKING AT THE SEAM ON MY SHORTS AND SPIT IT OUT. THEY'RE BARELY HANGING ON TO THE DEFINITION OF "SHORTS" AS IT IS.
That is an adorably real boyfriend-laying-in-boyfriend’s-lap thing to do
DAVE: the part i mentioned before about how we really have no goddamn clue how long this trip is even gonna take DAVE: i cant help but feel like its barely getting revved up DAVE: and for me and roxy and jade and callie and kan thats normal shit at best and boring at worst but we all have our immortality to thank for that DAVE: we can just dick around in space for near-eternity waiting to catch up to our friends who may or may not be our enemies now and itll be fine DAVE: i mean no itll be categorically miserable DAVE: but well survive it KARKAT: HOLD THE FUCK ON. DAVE: but you KARKAT: DAVE. DAVE: no lemme say this
Oh god damnit.  Karkat’s limited lifespan.  As if we hadn’t ALREADY covered a nauseatingly extensive gamut of disheartening topics of conversation.  We really have to confront every shred of misery in their past, present and future one after the other after the other in the Epilogues and HS2, don’t we?  >:(
I guess it had to be discussed, though.
DAVE: we dont talk about it much and i got shit to say about it DAVE: its not like i never thought about how youre mortal before but i just thought wed be able to figure it out before it mattered DAVE: come up with some kind of plan DAVE: i was just distracted being happy with you i fucking guess and so i didnt think up a way to fix it DAVE: and now thanks to dirk we have to work it out right the fuck now DAVE: because i cant spend this trip just sitting around watching you get old and die
Jesus.  I mean, WE know(?) that it’s not gonna be THAT many years, but THEY don’t know that.
Unless it really IS going to be that many years and HS2 is going to shamelessly take a fucking sledgehammer to our feelings for no goddamn good reason.  Which it won’t!  Right???  >:T

Dishwasher ding
> Dave: Grapple with the clean, soggy consequences of the passage of time.
Hey, don’t make it a metaphor here. --though, fuck.  I suppose we are dealing with everyones dirty laundry.  God damnit.  SURE, deal with it all story but then GET IT OUT OF THE WAY AND PUT SOME SERIOUS FUN AND LAUGHS IN HERE so we don’t feel like we’re wading through an entire garbage dump!!!  *click*
Tumblr media
Karkat’s eyebrows-only mouthless frown is really cute.

okay Karkat explain the nope you’re lodging

*put*

*foot*

DAVE: ok go on
I mean I at least appreciate the time investment in adorable boyfriends.  That’s definitely something of SOME good value they’re giving us in exchange for this misery
> ==>
Tumblr media
That Karkat image makes me wanna do that red-shaky-gif-thing with it
KARKAT: IT'S NOT LIKE I'M NEW TO THE PARTICULAR MOOBEAST WRANGLING EVENT OF SOMEONE I PREVIOUSLY LOVED BRUTALLY TURNING ON ME AND LEAVING ME TO TRY AND CRAM MY FEELINGS ABOUT THE SITUATION BACK TOGETHER ALL ON MY OWN.
True
KARKAT: HE DID THAT ON HIS OWN. AND WE MADE THE CHOICE TO GO AFTER HIM ON OUR OWN.
Yes, and you’ll possibly convince him more of that over time, though not in this short conversation
KARKAT: I WAS FOLLOWING YOUR LITTLE TRAIL OF COOKIE CRUMB FEARS UNTIL IT LEAD TO THE BIG SNACK FINALE OF WORRY ABOUT MY FRAGILE MORTAL MEATSACK. KARKAT: IF I HAVE SOMEHOW NOT BEEN CLEAR ABOUT THIS WITH YOU YET, LET ME GO AHEAD AND RECTIFY THE SITUATION RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. KARKAT: HANGING OUT WITH YOU ON THIS LONG TRIP TO WHO THE SHITTING FUCK KNOWS WHERE IS QUITE LITERALLY THE HAPPIEST I HAVE EVER BEEN IN MY ENTIRE MEAGER EXISTENCE. KARKAT: I'M SO ABSOLUTELY BLISSED THE FUCK OUT OF MY MIND TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT YOUR STUPID IMMORTALLY SMOOTH HUMAN FACE SKIN EVERY DAY AND NOT HAVE A COMPLEX ABOUT IT.
D’AWWW
And with that darkly angry expression too, that’s PERFECT
I mean it’s true.  What exactly would they be doing DIFFERENTLY on Earth C other than enjoying each other like this?  It’s pretty fucking great.
...hm.  Isn’t this journey-not-the-destination stuff pretty Breathy?  Karkat’s proving more balanced by the moment.
KARKAT: AND I'LL BE STRAIGHT WITH YOU. IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVEN'T BEEN EXPERIENCING SOME COMPLICATED GUILT, MYSELF. KARKAT: THE FACT THAT I'M HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE JUST FUCKING CHILLAXING AND BEING IN LOVE IN SPACE IS A CLEARLY INCONGRUOUS WITH THE REASON I'M ACTUALLY HERE CHILLAXING TO BEGIN WITH, AND I'M NOT LETTING MYSELF FORGET THAT, EITHER.
Pff.  He feels guilty for ENJOYING IT so much.  <3
KARKAT: BUT I RESENT THE IMPLICATION THAT MY HAPPINESS IS REGISTERING FOR YOU AS YOU HAVING TO JUST "SIT AROUND AND WATCH ME GET OLD," BECAUSE I KNOW YOU KNOW IT'S MORE THAN THAT.
I’m glad Karkat knows that DAVE knows somewhere in him that it’s more than that, because yeah, if Karkat thought he DIDN’T know that at some level that’d be a reason to take MUCH MORE SERIOUS offense.
KARKAT: LIKE, JESUS, DAVE. YOU KNOW I'M AFRAID FOR YOU, TOO, RIGHT? KARKAT: OR DID YOU FORGET THE WHOLE HEROIC DEATH THING? KARKAT: I WORRY ABOUT LOSING YOU FAIRLY FUCKING REGULARLY.
Hah!!!  Point taken.  Karkat must view Dave as practically more fragile than HIM.
KARKAT: ONE: WE'VE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH HELLACIOUS PANWARPING TRAUMA THAT I REFUSE TO NOT ENJOY THIS SHIT WHEN I FINALLY FUCKING GET IT, NO MATTER HOW LONG IT MAY OR MAY NOT LAST. KARKAT: TWO: IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE DOING NOTHING. WE’RE MOVING. WE’RE WORKING. WE’RE HEADED SPECIFICALLY TO A PLACE WHERE WE WILL UNDOUBTLEDLY ENDURE YET MORE FUCKING HELLACIOUS PANWARPING TRAUMA. KARKAT: AND THREE: WE'RE DOING THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE FRIENDS WHO WE CARE ABOUT THAT NEED US. THAT IS OUR FOCUS, HERE. NOT OUR FEAR. IT'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE WE HAVE TO SAVE. KARKAT: SO DON'T FUCKING WORRY ABOUT ME, DAVE. I'M FINE.
Okay, this is great and wholesome.  I am now retroactively GLAD that this topic got brought up.  :)
> ==>
Dave is still afraid. There is a part of him that will always be, he thinks. He has accepted this about himself. There is another feeling coursing through him too, though. It’s something he's felt before, though never quite so intensely. He looks up at Karkat and understands, viscerally, the simple power his words have. They pump through Dave’s own body, alive and warm and true.
He wonders if Karkat realizes it, or if he’s just, as always, saying what he feels as he feels it. Dave doesn’t attempt to dissect it further. There will be time for that later.
Every really loving moment like this is sort of undercut by the fact that it’s also, in some senses, part of alt!Calliope’s narration and, by extension, her fanfiction.
EDIT 2: There's also either a hint to potential Blood powers or even an explicit Blood power use here that I didn't recognize. I'm leaning towards it's-laying-the-groundwork-for-future-use-of-Blood-powers-but-isnt-magical-in-this-case.

Smooooch!
That was nice.  Still gonna wait on doing any commentary til next time or a Bonus update or two, cause I’m beat.  See y’all next time!

In a collaborative effort with my friend who doesn't usually ship things but I got him hooked on Shinra/Beni somehow, I present: fire brigade shenanigans. Lmao I don't usually write things but I am rly vibing with these dumb idiots.
❖ How do they get together in the first place? Well, after a long hard day of training, they're both hot, sweaty and out of breath. And Beni just kinda has a lightbulb moment, like "Oh. I like Shinra.", grabs him by the collar of his shirt and... Shinra thought he would punch him. Shinra really really thought he would punch him. But instead he gets kissed. It takes his brain like 5 full seconds to catch up to what's happening but then he realizes. He doesn't actually mind that this is happening. Actually, he likes it.
Beni breaks away for a second, letting them both catch their breath. And then kinda gets a little bashful, like "I'm sorry, I just did something weird...". Shinra just looks him in the eyes and tells him to kiss him again. His whole face is burning and the adrenaline is coursing in his veins, making his blood pound in his ears so hard it's almost matching the intensity of the butterflies in his stomach.
So they just end up making out.
Arthur is laying face down in the dirt 5 feet away from them. He has no idea what is happening. Shinra that isn't a princess.
❖ Shinra ask afterwards. "Does. Does this mean we're dating?" And Beni just has an absolute poker face the entire time. Obviously it means they're dating, fucking brat.
❖ The single inch of height difference is very very cute. Also Beni surprisingly likes getting carried around by Shinra. Beats walking.
❖ Beni wouldn't be caught dead in the normal Special Fire Force outfit. Except maybe if Shinra wanted to see him wear it... He would consider it.
❖ Shinmon Benimaru care instructions: If matoi is not available a regular mop will suffice.
❖ You think they might not be open to stating that they’re dating, but no. Beni is very blunt. “Yeah, we're together. What, do you have a problem with it? You wanna fucking fight???” Shinra might combust out of embarrassment though… And has to stop his boyfriend from just fighiting random people in the streets.
Everyone in Asakusa is incredibly impressed though. It's not everyday someone wins the heart of fucking Shinmon Benimaru.
Beni is a picture of tranquility as always but Shinra has that nervous smiling expression around him for a good long while before he finally chills out. Beni holds his hand and Shinra blushes so hard he nearly sets fire to something.
❖ Oh my god please just imagine the fit Hibana would throw when she finds out that Shinra got snatched away from her by none other than the captain of the 7th. Shinra, why are you dating that savage!? She’d be stewing but I think she’d be smart enough not to try to challenge him for Shinra’s hand in marriage lmao… Or maybe she would… (She would not win.)
❖ Okay before anyone finds out they’re dating Obi might accuse Beni of trying to poach Shinra for Company 7. But no, they’re just like, together.
Obi: Why are you spending so much time in Asakusa?
Shinra: I’m… I’m training….. with captain Shinmon… Training. Yes.
Benimaru: lol no we fuckin'.
Arthurs reaction to it is hilarious as always.
Arthur: I don’t like it.
Tamaki: Hey just cause theyre both men doesnt meant it’s wrong…
Arthur: What are you talking about? Shinra is getting more training than me.
❖ Do they use cute pet names? Hahaha no, what are you on. They’re definitely more likely to just use insults but said in a very soft tone of voice instead. They might be idiots but they're each others idiots. Also imagine they affectionately calling each other "devil" and "monster". Why are you like this.
❖ Shinra says “I love you” first. Beni is not a man of many words and would probably express the sentiment trough actions anyway. He does let it slip verbally at some point though, and Shinra is dedicated to making him say it again as soon as possible. He says it a lot when hes hammered though. Like every 5 minutes. Just staring at his boyfriend and smiling. Shinra thinks he might cry cause it's so cute.

i preplanned those tunnel tweets + made a list of specifically what pictures i wanted and finished making the worms earlier this morning so like i wasnt Winging It at all but it sure felt like it! bc weve only ever gone to the tunnels as a group before, but today the only time i could go was in the 25 minutes before my evening class and no one else was free then so i was like whatever ill just go get my pictures and then to class and it’s fine. so i put my little sandwich baggie full of worms in my pocket and went over to the machinery building, which is where the tunnel entrance is, but the entrance is in the basement and there’s two ways to get into the basement both of which are almost always locked so i was like well i’ll just check and see if either of them are open. and it turned out the freight elevator was allowing trips to the basement so i got in and went down
the freight elevator spits you out in like this really cluttered and fucked-up looking storage basement basically which is where the tunnel entrance is and while the tunnel is dark the basement itself is usually lit by these shitty fluorescents HOWEVER! today when the elevator doors opened it was absolutely completely dark in the entire enormous basement. but at that point i was like i made it over here, i have my worms, i have my photo list, i have time before class, and what are the odds the elevator will be working again, ill just use my flashlight who cares. so i turned my flashlight on and started picking my way through to the tunnel entrance, except i stopped and made a detour to take pics in that little office room because i thought it would sorta look like the room where they found gertrude’s body and i could make a fun joke about it  ANYWAY as i’m coming out of the office room i notice that the stairway door directly across from me is open, which is weird because they’re Never open because they don’t want us to go down there. so i was like, shit, maintenance and/or security are down here and my only way out is the super obvious elevator so ill just wait them out so i like turned my flashlight off and crouched behind a bunch of shit
anyway i just sort of huddled in the dark for a while and soon enough it became clear that no one was actually coming so i took advantage of my proximity to the ground to scatter some worms and take that first worm pic where im pointing. and then i was like okay, might as well get the tunnel bit over with. so the area of the basement where the mouth of the tunnel is is closed off with this big metal fence and there’s like a wire-mesh on the front with a huge padlock only years and years of horrible college students have managed to sort of beat the bottom half of the gate a few inches outwards + compromise its integrity enough that its easy to pull far enough open for someone else to slip through. however my problems today were 1) like i said ive only ever gone with a group before, meaning i’d always had someone to hold the gate open for me, and i had never attempted to get through without assistance before let alone back out and 2) the gate is RIGHT next to the stairs that i mentioned earlier were open when they usually never are. so i stood there for a minute like... okay, say i DO try to get through myself, and i get stuck. OR, say that happens and THEN whoever was working down here comes back and im stuck so i get caught and in trouble.
and then i was like actually fuck it we ball so i like. sort of just got down fully on the ground (which was gross btw do not recommend) and like rolled and twisted and pushed myself around until i wiggled through. that was the moment when i sort of started to accept just how much tunnel dirt i was gonna be covered in by the end but it was so far past too late to back out so i headed into the tunnel entrance. it gets TRULY dark like really really soon after you walk in also like i thought the basement outside was dark because the lights were off but the tunnels are like....  DARK. anyway i stopped halfway down the entry tunnel to try and set up the like “worm door outline” thing from after MAG39 and like initially i had thought that i could figure out an okay way to at least temporarily get them on the wall bc theyre made of latex and super light but it was quickly apparent that that would not be the case so i found a patch of the floor that looked smooth enough to be a wall and set it up on there instead. so i’m like. squatting on the floor in this very dark and kind of gross tunnel, and i have my phone laying on the ground next to me flashlight-side-up so i can see as well as use both hands to dig cold little latex worms out of a sandwich baggie and arrange them in a pattern on the ground and the flashlight was lighting up the tunnel in the most fucked up way and it was dead silent and the WHOLE time i was like, and this is the moment when like a maintenance worker turns the corner and finds me and is just like, hello??? theres some clown playing with worms in the tunnel????
anyway that did not happen and instead i got my little doorway set up and then it was time to take the first pic (of the worm door by itself without me in it) which was when i realized that when i open my camera app my phone forcibly turns the flashlight off so every time i wanted to take a picture in the tunnels i was gonna have to turn my light off and just like chill alone in the pitch dark in a tiny tunnel for however long it took me to take each photo and i was like hm okay wig i guess so i took the door pic and then it took me like four tries to get myself positioned right for the cringe ass fail worms one because, surprisingly, it is difficult to position yourself directly in the center of an archway of worms that you cannot see, and while i was doing all those failed tries i got to spend a lot of time laying splayed out on my back in the dark on the tunnel floor anyway i got it finally so i just sort of kicked the worms to the sides and kept going in further. to get to the pit you have to turn left at the first fork and then take a right and then theres this weird like step? thing? in the middle of the tunnel and if youre me you have to do a super awkward crabwalk limbo step thing to get over it because the pipes on the ceiling above it are hot and the step comes up to like 6 inches below the pipe but also i dont like to touch the top of the step because its gross. so its always a production. this time i think they had worked on that pipe recently or something because it was leaking so the step was wet and the pipe dripped hot water onto my neck while i was crawling under it LMAO
anyway from there its a straight shot and it opens out into this like larger room near the entrance to the engine room and the pit is right at the edge of where the dirt of the tunnel turns into the concrete of the room floor. and theyve like half-covered the top of it in wooden planks but theyre not held down so when you have to step on them just for a second to get out of the tunnel its so nervewracking. theres overhead lights in that room though so that was nice idk if i couldve managed the flashlight-camera-transition in the dark AND one-handed. so i took my from-above tunnel pic and then i was like (checks my photos list) “well...... i did say id get two from inside the pit.” i had actually never been in the pit before because the other two times i’ve gone to the tunnels i’ve been with other people and they would barely even let me get near it let alone get on the ladder. so i was like well i guess there is a first time for everything so i put my phone in my back pocket and ducked under the little yellow chain they have up and started going down the ladder and i got like 8? maybe 10? feet down before i thought to look down again and let me just say..... all the times we had looked into that pit from above we had never guessed anywhere CLOSE to how deep it actually was. thats all. so i was like.... um i was expecting to be able to like, stand on solid ground while i take this pit selfie, but that was clearly not going to be an option, but also i had committed this far already to getting these pics from the pit so i was like ugh i guess and hooked my one arm over the ladder so i could get my phone out w the other hand and take the pics from in there. and then i climbed back out. the ladder rungs made my hands SO gross and dirty with rust i was like eugh eugh.
but after that the only picture left to take was the one w my pen and the only way for me to go was back out towards the entrance so i was like its fine im almost done. so i went back out until i got to the tunnel after the first fork and i was like cool here’s a good a place as any so i got my pen ready + went to get my camera out, and literally RIGHT as the flashlight went out and the camera app opened i was like SO sure i saw something move vaguely in the darkness to my right like REALLY close to me shoulder height so i was like uhhh no and took a flash photo more out of reflex than anything and i didnt see anything but also the flash lit up for like,  one second and then it was dark again so i like switched back to the flashlight really quick and obviously it was just a normal tunnel and i was the only one there so i opened the camera app again to try to take the pic again and literally just like the first time right as the flashlight turned off i was soooo sure something moved right next to me like so close but i was like “nell. youre being insane.” so i didnt do anything and i just took like three more possible variations on the pic i wanted and then i turned my flashlight back on and once again obviously nothing was amiss so i was like epic win and went back out the tunnel entrance. and then i was like............. oh god i have to do the gate squirm again. but there was no other way so i just did it really fast before i could really get worked up about it lol and then i went back over to the freight elevator only when i pressed the button it would light up and then immediately go dark when i unpressed it and i was like oh fuck because 90% of the time when you get in on the ground floor this elevator literally refuses to take you to the basement and i was like oh no it re-locked while i was down here and now i can’t get up this way so im just like in this basement for the foreseeable future but then of course as i was going down that tangent the elevator doors opened and i stepped into the fluorescent light and looked down and was like wow i am just so thoroughly, completely, orangely covered in dirt. but i made it home with like 5 minutes to wash up a bit before my evening class so that was a win! i did learn however that i should never take my evening dose of adderall directly after a bit of minor breaking&entering while the adrenaline is still there because when i got to class i almost jackhammered a hole through the floor with my shakyleg
