Eddie Munson does do the whole rock star thing, but it doesn't quite go the way it did in the daydreams of a sixteen-year-old kid trying to stay awake in school.
He leaves Hawkins after the world doesn't end, gets himself out there, takes all the hurt and fear and fucked up shit and puts it into a handful of good enough songs to get himself signed.
It's not quite the genre he grew up with, not quite something any of his idols might have played, but only because it is so entirely Eddie, so influenced by where he's been and what he's seen that it kind of doesn't fit one specific influence.
It's new and it's good, is the point. Really good. And he skyrockets fast enough to give himself the spins.
He's recognizable and then he's famous and then he's too famous and too young to know what to do with it and too far from home and everyone he loves to really cope with it and it's just.
Eddie isn't built for it. Eddie hasn't even processed the fact that he was maybe supposed to die in that place, or the fact that he did watch people better than him actually die, but he's out here shooting to the top of the charts and being called the next big thing and it's too much.
It's just enough, at the end of it all, for him to self-sabotage his way out of being more than a one-hit wonder.
One big hit, a contract broken by the guys at the top with the fancy lawyers because Eddie has become the too much thing, just like always, and it's over as quick as it started.
He disappears, becomes one of those whatever happened to him? he was supposed to be the next big thing? stories that travel by word of mouth and then fade with the shift in conversation.
So what does happen to Eddie Munson?
He falls hard, he hits rock bottom, he crawls his way home to an uncle who deserved for Eddie to really make it, make him proud, have him financially set for life and get him into a real house with two stories and a garage to park the truck in, maybe even a yard for a dog.
He spirals and isolates and falls apart and stops letting himself make music at all and makes some personal choices that will probably have lasting effects on him for the rest of his life and then somewhere along the line a girl with hair like tangerines and terrible aim manages to smack him with her cane and says if I learned to walk again, so can you, asshole.
There are people in his life again after that, a reason to get out of bed and realize that he can make Wayne proud in more ways than the one he'd already fucked straight to hell.
Eddie watches a bunch of kids graduate high school and then he packs up and chases down some people who pulled him out of hell once before up in Chicago, crashes on Steve and Robin's couch until he gets himself a job painting houses and they can afford three bedrooms instead of just the two.
He cuts his hair, not short but shorter, and he gets more tattoos and itches for the guitar that sits in a case under his bed, ignores it. Itches for the pen in his hand, ignores that too.
He's still barely past his mid-20s and he still has some fucking around left to get out of his system, some finding out to accomplish doubly so, but he learns as he goes no matter whether it's forwards or backwards.
He falls in love and falls out of it, gets fired from jobs and tracks down new ones, gets into fights with his friends because they're all a little fucked up and codependent and weird but makes up with them for the same reasons.
The thing with Steve happens slowly, going from tolerating each other for the sake of knowing they'll always be on the same team to genuinely liking each other to discovering a care between the two of them that's a bit too strong to be normal about even if it still takes them a half-dozen so-called turning points to really name it and take it and keep it.
Eddie's 33 when they buy a condo together on the outskirts of Chicago two weeks after they fall into bed with each other for the first time, and he's over a decade on from being a kid who rose to the top too fast but it doesn't feel dissimilar, that sensation of a too-good thing that's bound to go wrong.
Only this time he doesn't try to sabotage it, tries the opposite, tries to hold it tightly in ways that would probably be too tight for anyone other than Steve Harrington with all his deeply intense feelings and inability to love at anything other than an eleven.
It's in the move that Steve finds a box of notebooks, snoops because it's who he is, and finds years worth of words that never made it past the tip of a pen but did, eventually, make it that far.
And it's not an easy thing, convincing Eddie that they're words worth sharing, because Eddie doesn't want it to be an easy thing. He can't let kind words shoved into his orbit by a beautiful man be enough to make it feel worth it, can't see a world where sharing his art doesn't end in another great big self-induced mess that he can't let happen when he's finally found something good.
He doesn't want to go on tour and get screamed at on stage and, besides, he's pretty sure the rest of the world doesn't want to scream for him anymore either, but then Steve has to go and remind him--
"You don't have to be the face of it. You can just be the words; you are so fucking good at being the words, Ed."
Which still isn't quite enough to be convincing, but it's a start in a solid six months of the words coming easier now that he has someone to share them with, someone to listen as Eddie plucks away at a guitar that sits out in the open now, free of dust.
It stops feeling like something shameful to hide, his music, and the thing is? It doesn't feel how it did back then either.
It's not an escape or a purge of violent energy or a distraction from everything he didn't know how to think about. Sure, it takes all of that into consideration because it takes the whole of Eddie into consideration, but more than anything it's just fun.
Like he's thirteen and still learning how to play the guitar, like it's just a hobby that never has to go anywhere, like it's just art that maybe deserves to be heard.
Everyone pitches in on ideas when they find out he's trying to come up with a pseudonym, and it's goofy and supportive and kind of the final straw in reaching out to old, burned bridges to see about any new artists looking for equally new tunes.
The first time Eddie and Steve catch familiar lyrics being sung by a new hotshot band on the radio, Eddie cries not because he's jealous or disappointed, but because it feels right.
He doesn't like being up in front of the crowds, had only ever walked across tables and made himself big and scary and loud out of self preservation, would always rather his biggest performances be for the people he knows really care.. Besides, after everything he's survived he's learned, albeit slowly, that he really likes the freedom of the quiet.
This way he still gets to say what he has to say, gets to throw his hat into the ring of an artform that he loves without selling his soul to a machine that tried to eat him alive (trust him. he knows what that feels like.)
Of course, someone is going to put 2 and 2 together eventually, the industry isn't as big as it looks and pseudonyms only pull so much weight when you went out in such a spectacularly messy and memorable fashion, but Eddie's got his condo in Chicago.
He's got the guy he shares it with in his bed.
He's got two cats and a windowsill full of plants he's going to keep alive this time, Steve, just you watch.
He's got his uncle settled in Indy these days, a small place with a small yard.
He's got music, too. Turns out even his own tendency to self-destruct couldn't take that away, huh?
It's what got him out of hell alive, after all.

currently rewatching s3 and honestly... yeah no wonder Mike and Will had to be across the country in s4 for the plot to work they're too fucking good with this. even in s3 where they play a lot of plot support for El they're actually CARRYING the groups actions
s3 actually makes the difference between Mike and Will and the rest of the party Extremely clear. El, Max, and Lucas are lost at first, ranging from not taking Billy too seriously or just not knowing what to do
Mike and Will are the only one's with first hand experience. Will was possessed by the MF (Henry) and Mike sat next to him like this for over two days straight. Will has the intel and Mike has seen what possession looks and acts like up close. they KNOW what they're doing in s3 which is why they take the threat of Billy and the MF so serious so fast. even El has to ask them how possession works and how you can identify it. because despite having powers she still has no experience with this
that experience also gets highlighted in situations like the pool, where Max wants to wait and see what happens with Billy to know if he's flayed but Mike and Will know they have to act first
Tumblr media Tumblr media
they know you don't wait until someone activates. the entire population of Hawkins lab was killed last time someone activated and they both witnessed it first hand. but the other's weren't there for that and don't really know how to deal with the current situation
also, Mike and Will are fully on the same page regarding the supernatural, which is why they're so efficient. Will gives his insight on the MF (Henry) and Mike immediately jumps to thinking of a proactive plan. the sauna idea took him less than 5 seconds
they would have completely fucked the plot of s4 over had they been in Hawkins i'm so serious. s3 literally shows us exactly why they couldn't be there:
Will can tell when Henry gets close (which s4 even confirms he is still able to do). had he been around in s4 he could've warned everyone if Vecna got to Max. no wondering when he's going to get you. Will would Know and he'd Tell you. they wouldn't lose time looking for Vecna in the Creel house, they wouldn't lose time scrambling to get headphones last minute
Mike is incredibly good at adapting prior knowledge to new situations which the Hakwins crew was Abysmal at. Mike can apply chemistry facts from years ago when it's convenient and can convert Will's possession into a working possession-test for Billy. but in s4 we have to suffer watching the crew remember that fire was the UD's weakness and then never use it on anyone but Vecna himself. a bottle of hairspray and a lighter could have gotten them out of being strangled by vines but they only had the clunky molotovs for Vecna. their planning methods directly contradict Mike's approach to plans
also. both of them act proactively. everyone at Hawkins lab died because they didn't stop Will in advance and s3 shows they learned from that. i honestly can't see a way for them to be on board with an "i'll be bait" plan. they directly argue against waiting for him to take action multiple times in s3. they KNOW that's how people die because it's too late when he gets here
and best of all. MIKE LITERALLY CALLS OUT WHY THE S4 PLAN DIDN'T WORK. word for word. you could paste this into s4 and pretend it's Mike berating them for the plan they just came up with
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
s4 makes it super clear that Mike and Will being absent is BAD with their friends directly commenting on how they're not here to help, and the last shot of the season being them returning to town speaks for itself, but s3 also directly shows us why. based on how they've dealt with the UD's/MF's return just six months before s4 shows how they would have approached something like s4. and at this point the two of them are too good of a team with too much experience to let them be around for it
(which would in universe most likely be Henry waiting for both of them to be out of the picture and out of universe be the writers putting them on the gay roadtrip in the weed van to be able to set up endgame s5 in peace without having them be in the way)

Legit ANYTHING Corey related- im head over hEELS for that man rn
Im also a sucker for fluff ;)
Dating Corey Cunningham Would Be Like This:
A/N: Might as well start with the dating hcs 🙃 requests are open if you want more for this guy. Please keep in mind that I'm not comfortable writing smut yet though; I've noted that on my inbox page and pinned post, but I've been getting quite a few smutty asks 😅
Tumblr media
🔪• Corey's been through a lot, and to find a person willing to give him a chance and treat him like a person who matters... I absolutely believe he'd turn into a soft yandere. He's head over heels in love, protective to the point of killing anyone who tries to hurt you or take you away from him, and obsessively infatuated. He lives for you, and he'd die for you, period.
🔪• You probably meet him when he's being pushed around by a group of bullies somewhere in Haddonfield, and manage to get them off his back for a while, with a string of hateful comments. The boy's stunned that someone's standing up for him, and when you help him get his glasses back on after they were slapped off his face, he's stunned all over again. It takes Corey a good minute to stop stuttering and staring at you with wide, dopey eyes and form an actual sentence to introduce himself.
🔪• When you take him back to yours to patch him up, you can't help but notice his breath hitch at your soft touches, such a contrast from the rough shoves and harsh words he gets day after day outside. Heart eyes to the extreme as you concentrate on stopping any blood, and apologise when it stings. Corey barely notices it, and when you pull away as you finish, he chases your hand for a second before he blinks back into reality, heat rushing to his cheeks as he looks down at his feet and thanks you.
🔪• He has no idea why you're so nice to him, but from that day on, he's hooked. You're gonna start seeing him randomly pop up wherever you are, and at first, you assume it's because Corey wants to have you around so it discourages people from picking on him. Nope. He wouldn't mind if he was kicked around, if you could lean in close and clean him up so caringly again. He's fallen hard and very quickly, especially when you reassure him that you know he didn't kill that boy on purpose. You believe him? He almost cries, and looks up at you in wonder, with a hopeful "really?"
🔪• Corey Cunningham has found someone that sees him as a person instead of a monster, and he adores that the person is you. It doesn't take him long to ask him out; it is hard for him to get the courage to, since he's worried that he might be going too fast and certainly aiming too high with you. Saying yes to him will just fully unleash Corey being the clingiest, doting, protective boyfriend you'll ever know. He won't let you go now that he's found you. If he can't have you, no one can.
🔪• He's pretty goofy with how he acts and what he says, but you've told him it's cute, so he won't try to change. Being with you, he wants to keep you happy all the time, and keeps you to himself as much as possible, just in case you start listening to what others have got to say about him. Whatever you tell him though, he'll try to remember as much as possible, so he can how he's been listening by bringing it up again or giving you a little gift related to it.
🔪• To be honest, Corey's a really sweet, doting lover, and he looks at you like you're an angel whenever you're close together, or just working around the house. He'll follow you around like a lost puppy, and has puppy eyes to match, constantly clinging to you and wanting to help with whatever he can. It could get a little annoying if you don't want a shadow around you all the time, but he wants you as happy as possible, so if you tell him your boundaries, he'll eagerly follow them.
🔪• Corey's obsessiveness grows the closer you get, to the point where he goes as far as to kill for you. After he runs into Michael Myers, he takes both of your hands and looks you straight in the eyes excitedly as he tells you that he's not afraid of people anymore, and that he loves that you're always there to protect him. But now, he wants to be the one to protect you. He loves you to death, and he wants to prove it. It's up to you to decide whether or not to let him deal with anyone that upsets you with his violent methods, but he can and will if you say the word.
🔪• If you happen to meet Michael Myers, he won't kill you, but he won't be all soft with you either. His idea of being nice is not killing you, and that's that. Gradually, gradually, he'll decide to protect you, even opting to lurk around in the shadows and check on you and Corey every now and then, like a twisted kind of father figure or friend. So, if you're ever in trouble, you've got Haddonfield's boogeymen behind you when you need them.
🔪• It's scary to see the level of protectiveness and unhidden anger in Corey's eyes when someone's rude to you in front of him, a dark glare in his usually kind eyes. Suddenly, they've gone missing, or they've died in suspicious circumstances, Corey not paying any attention to the news report as he hugs you from where you're curled up on his lap with a small frown on your face. If you ask him for the truth, if he did it for you, he'll shrug and nod, "Well... yeah, I- I did it for you. I love you..." and that's all the explanation there really is.
🔪• He likes taking you for rides on his motorcycle in the evening, just to feel your arms embrace him tightly and a proud grin on his face when he knows you're enjoying it. Corey tries carrying you back upstairs afterwards, which ends up with you both collapsing in a heap on the bed, and him engulfing you with a tight hug with kisses planted on every inch of skin he can find.
🔪• Speaking of affection, Corey can be pretty smothering with it. He's shy and awkward at first, but after hugging you for the first time, and having your first kiss, he can't get enough of your attention and affection. He'll drink it up with a lovesick smile and lean into all of your touches. He can show how needy he is by whining in protest whenever you break a kiss for air, and latches back on in a second.
🔪• The pet names he gives you can be the basic 'baby' and 'sweetheart,' but Corey calls you stronger, more meaningful names at intimate moments too. 'Angel' is a very common one that he coos when he wakes you up gently in the mornings, burying his face in your neck, or whenever you're cleaning him up after a fight or a kill.
🔪• The times when he's most vulnerable, when you've got him wrapped around your finger playing with his curls, he'll whisper to you how all of him belongs to you, that he'll do anything for you, die for you. He's being absolutely honest, and it's nice to hear, but sometimes, when your eyes meet his desperate, loving gaze, you have to tell him that you don't want him to do anything too extreme for you, that you love him just the way he is.
🔪• You can never just kiss Corey briefly before you leave the house to work or anything. He'll draw out any affection you give him for as long as he can, so it's a hard task to prise his hands off your waist with a promise that you'll be done with work soon. It often ends up with him trailing after you, holding your hand tightly and stroking the back of it absentmindedly with his thumb.
🔪• Being in a relationship with Corey Cunningham is full of loving attention, obsessively so, and to know that he'd go as far to basically go on a killing spree for you is nice in a weird kind of way? There's no hope of getting out of it though, because he's happily devoted to you now, and that's just the way he likes it. God forbid anyone who tries messing with it.

post!imposter au where everyone is soooo desperate for your forgiveness. honestly, seeing so many of the genshin impact characters get on their knees and beg and cry for you had a sick and twisted sense of pleasure coursing through your veins.
so imagine telling zhongli that you would give liyue another chance if he became your disposable little sex toy. and the geo archon is already hard beyond belief, many of his fantasies coming to life as you stepped on his hard-on without a trace of shame, harshly rubbing your shoe against it. he comes a fucking lot and you have to punish him somehow once his cum stains your bare skin. he doesn't even remember why he was there in the first place, he just wants you to ride him until his balls are empty or rail him until his hole basically takes the shape of your cock. slap his face, tell him how stupid he is for not being able to recognize you as the real creator as he sobs sorries pathetically under you, coming for the nth time that night.
and imagine how whiney venti would be once he finds out about this. you should be fucking him!! not that boring old man!! please!! and he can act like he's doing it *for the sake of mondstadt* all he likes but you and morax know better. especially when he's humping your leg like a crazed, air-headed dog. he'd honestly be so desperate for you- i mean, your forgiveness, that he'd basically do anything that you ask of him.
alternative idea: everyone recognized you as the creator the moment you arrived in teyvat and months later you started a new custom in which you put hand-picked characters in a giant room and order all the characters to put on a show with each other (imagine all the ships, hehe) until you can eventually choose the best amongst them and add them to your new list of toys.
Warnings: yandere themes, sagau, gn! and dom reader, smut, mentions of cum, sub! venti and zhongli, implications of past mistreatment, jealousy, ask to tag.
Literally speechless at how big brained this concept is, like it’s genuinely god sent. This isn’t particularly long but just know I’m going to think about this everyday until I die.
18+ UTC
Tumblr media
Zhongli is immediately intrigued when he hears about a way for you to possibly forgive Liyue and its people, his heart still ached at the memories of your past treatment. He wondered how exactly it was he could possibly make it up to you, he’d be willing to do anything – he had told you so himself – but he never expected your request to be so lewd, nor did he realize how much he would like the sound of it either.
It’s uncharacteristic how fast he replies, even when it comes to you; a contract is a contract and he prides himself in always analyzing each and every single one he, himself, partakes in. Maybe, you tease, it’s because all the blood that normally circulated around his brain flowed straight down into his dick.
He had always been a bit shameful, some habits die hard; even the ones he’s had for thousands of years, even if it includes some from his younger and more, let’s say, aggressive youth. All this to say, Zhongli had always thought of what it’d be like to have sex with his beloved creator.
He doesn’t even remember how or when his clothes were torn off, the normally pristine suit he always wore was sullied with dust as he kneels in front of you, he can’t even remember when his hard on had grown so painful; all he knew was that your feet feel too good rubbing his cock. His face begins to twist into one of unrecognizable pleasure, his normally wise and pristine personality long since crushed under the intense bliss he was feeling in the moment.
It’s funny, you realize, how even when clothed you could feel the way he pulsated with every touch, his face was turning impossibly red as he let himself be toyed with, he couldn’t help the way his breathing began coming out as pathetic pants, you wondered if maybe this was something he’d always wanted; to become someone’s toy.
You doubted the shoes you were wearing were comfortable down there but he didn’t seem to mind as the wet patch in his pants grew in size and dampness, it was pitiful how easily worked up he was. Eventually, you let him take off his pants, which he does in a manner too sloppy to have come from a man such as Zhongli, and you son come face to face with his dick, and maybe it’s the sudden release from its confinement in Zhongli’s trousers, they always did appear to be quite tight, or maybe he had been close to shooting regardless, because soon enough you find splatters of cum in your skin. The pearly liquid is thick as you scoop it out from your arm and it’s not hard to look down at the archon with a questioning look.
You chuckle as you slowly remove your underwear and clothes; “Already coming, Mr Zhongli? I’m afraid you still have an awful lot to make up for…”
The news of your sexual randevouz with the Geo Archon travels quickly through the winds to the eager, and jealous, ears of Barbatos, the deity of Anemo. It’s as such that he immediately requests your presence in his humble region under the pretense of a much needed apology.
That is, until you arrive – soon enough he’s throwing himself at your feet, tears in his eyes as he begs for your forgiveness. Oh, how was he so blind? To hurt you was the last thing he’d ever dreamt of, he can’t even live with himself for what he and his people have done!
With faux tears, and an aching cock, he asks what could he ever do to receive your blessed forgiveness before bringing up what the wind had carried.
The minute you agree he’s back on his knees, desperately humping your clothed legs, he was so grateful for how revealing his Archon outfit was because it only took a few movements until his cock was free and he could excitedly rub himself against your skin.
“I-I just can’t-t believe you’d go to that – oh, ah! Fu~ck! – that old hag first! He’s s-suchgh… a brute with no brain…!”
Venti makes sure not to cum on you nor your clothes, completely and utterly focused on not commuting the heinous crimes his fellow archon had given way to. It’s incredibly hard to part his cock from your body but he makes sure to angle his cum in a way that will ensure your precious skin is clean.
“S-see? ‘M nothing like that- hmm?” You decide to just kiss and shut him up, “Ahh~ My lord, hah, if you wanted to kiss me s-so badly… you could’ve just said so… heh.”
He lets you unrobe him, in fact, he relishes in the way you undress his form; the intimate way you tug and pull at his clothes is so enchanting to him, he’s basically panting by the end.
“Oh no,” he moans, letting you push him on the marble table, “what will you do to me? Don’t tell me you’ll defile~ No! Don’t leave, please! I was just joking, your grace, you know I want you, I want you so bad… just, use my body~ Please?”
By the end of the night, his beautiful voice is but a mere whisper, his throat long since hoarse from screaming and moaning.
“Ha-ah!” Tears swell in his pretty, round eyes, “Ye-esh! Thankyouthankyouthankyou- hghhh…!”
Now, all you have to do is see if Ei will take your offer too.

Hello i just discovered your blog and i love it but may i request an MC who was a child of a brutally war and had like 3-5 younger siblings who died in the war and one day when they are walking around a pure-blood said something along the lines of "OH their Siblings deserved to die" and MC just losses it and straights up punch the pure-blood in the face and knocking them out, how would the HCL +Professor's react to mc in that situation? (Btw I'm sorry if this is a too sensitive topic u don't have to write it if u don't want to, XOXO have a good day or night)
A/N: not to worry, that's what the warnings are for.
HLC REACT TO MC PUNCHING A BULLY
WARNING: MC has PTSD, terrorism, blood racism, hurt/comfort
It was less of a war and more of a massacre. The slaying of muggleborns in the 1885 attack was terroristic and unjust. MC was the only survivor of their family. Their siblings were gone. All that was left was the screaming in MC's head. The screaming that kept them up at night. The screaming that told them to run....to hide...
The pure blood student laid on the floor, holding his nose. Blood poured out as the student whined. MC stood over them, fists clenched. MC's knuckles were already bruising from the force of the hit. Their breathing was fast and irregular. Their eyes were wide and blank, they seemed a thousand miles away.
SEBASTIAN SALLOW: He'd never seen MC move so fast. Before he could tell the instigator off himself, MC threw themselves at them and punched with enough force to break bricks. He doesn't realize the state MC's in at first, laughing and jeering at the bleeding bully.
Until he notices MC isn't laughing with him. They're strangely quiet. Shaking. He hears a Professor coming and he steers MC away from the scene. "MC? What's going on with you? ..MC?" He gets a closer look at their face and sees silent tears flowing from their wide eyes. He's seen this face before, on Anne after they found their parents dead.
He takes MC's good hand and gives it a gentle squeeze. "MC. Come back to me. Come back to now. The pain is in the past, don't let it halt your future." He gently talks MC down from their episode and stays with them until they insist they're fine. Even then, he's hard to get rid of.
OMINIS GAUNT: He swears he heard bons breaking when MC's fist collided with the bully. He knew a staff member wouldn't be far away from the commotion and he immediately dragged MC away. "You shouldn't have resorted to physical violence. What that bastard said wasn't acceptable, but now you could be facing detention or worse! That sort of behavior is brutish! Just jinx them like anyone else, at the very least. ..MC?"
He'd just realized MC wasn't talking, not even trying to defend their actions. "MC..? I need you to talk to me. What's going on?" Silence. MC was as still as a statue. Their hand was clammy in his. "What they said....there's more to it, isn't there?" He didn't know the full story, but MC's silence was too loud to ignore.
He takes them to the undercroft to recover in peace and talk to them privately about what really happened.
ANNE SALLOW: She had her wand out but MC's fist was faster. "That's exactly what you deserve!" She huffs and grabs MC's good hand. "Let's go, before staff show up." She walks with them a while before asking about their hand. "Are you alright? You hit them pretty hard." She examines MC's hand. It was heavily bruised and possibly broken, but nothing a healing potion wouldn't fix.
She looks into MC's eyes and they seem to look through her. "MC? MC, it's alright. You're alright. You don't have to fight anymore. The danger has passed." She speaks soothingly until they seem themselves again. She hugs them if they let her. She has the strongest urge to comfort and cuddle.
IMELDA REYES: She sees red. How. Fucking. DARE they! MC swings once but she keeps the pain train rolling. She kicks them in the ribs. She curb stomps their stomach. She pushes them down the nearest flight of stairs and spits in their direction as they roll away.
It takes more than a minute for her to calm down and realize MC hadn't moved or said anything. "Hey...you good?" She's still breathing heavily from the adrenaline. "Let's get out of here." She gets them out to the flying lawn and pulls out her broom. "You going to use yours?" MC complied and pulled out theirs but still hasn't said anything or changed their blank expression.
"Follow me." She leads them to a high cliff away from the castle and the noise. "This is where I come to think...or scream. You look like you could do both right about now."
NATSAI ONAI: She uses depulso without her wand and the bully slides across the floor far away from them. She looks at MC with great concern. "You don't look so good. I have never seen you attack someone like that, even over pure blood nonsense. What was it they said that got to you?"
MC's tears come and it breaks her heart. MC was hurting in a bad way, she could see it in their eyes. "You were there, weren't you? This attack they mentioned." MC breaks into sobs and their knees give out. She catches them before they hit the floor and holds them close. "I am here. I am here, MC. I will not let anyone hurt you. Never again."
GARRETH WEASLEY: His eye twitches and he has to hold back the urge to bring out his wand. He couldn't curse the bully without risk, but he could do something. He drops a small green bottle on the bully's lap. "Here. It'll clear up the nose bleed. Come on, MC." He, somewhat forcefully, pushes MC away and leads them around the corner.
He smiles to himself when screams echoed down the corridor. The boils the potion gave the bully would last for weeks and be horrifically painful. "Got exactly what was coming. What does that git think he's trying to prove? Many purebloods are accepting of muggleborns. The terrorist attack all those years ago was a small extremist group and they're ALL in Azkaban or dead."
He talks and talks and talks, going off on tangents and eventually forgetting what he started talking about. It's not that he never noticed MC having a hard time, he just thought if he could distract them from it instead of drawing attention to it, he would be of more help.
AMIT THAKKAR: He's so shocked by what the bully said that he doesn't even process MC punching the daylights out of them. He just watches the bully writhe in pain on the ground. He's as still and silent as MC. Both processing what just happened.
LEANDER PREWETT: "Levioso! Descendo!" His magic throws the bully helplessly into the air and then slams them back down. They'd be lucky if they didn't have multiple broken bones. He pockets his wand and takes MC's hand. "Come on."
He takes them outside for some air. MC's outburst then sudden silence was unnerving him. "What happened in there?" He asked calmly. "He mentioned siblings of yours? Was he taking the mick or...?" His unfinished sentence hing in the air between them.
MC finally focused on him, years starting to stream down their cheeks. He could see it in their eyes, real pain. The kind of pain that makes you shut down. He doesn't know what to do so he holds their good hand and looks back into their eyes. "You're going to be alright."
"Maybe we should go..." He eventually says and he starts to walk away. MC follows and they walk in silence all the way up the astronomy tower. In the clear and cool air, they take a simultaneous deep breath. "People are rotting no matter where you go. Be it skin or blood or belief. The human superiority complex never ceases to disgust. At the very least, know that you have a friend in me, MC. I'm with you."
EVERETT CLOPTON: He throws a fogging dung bomb and he and MC escape the commotion. "Good on ya for putting that twat in his place! If you ask me, you should have just cursed them, but a punch will do." He laughs as he takes MC to a more secluded corridor.
He doesn't realize MC isn't okay until he tries to give them another one of his special dung bombs "for emergencies". Their blank expression first leads him to think they don't like the dung bombs, but when he takes a closer look at their eyes... "Oh...oh Merlin, MC, I'm sorry. I thought they were lying. Your siblings...that's why you...oh..." He awkwardly puts away the bombs and holds out his arms. "Come here, let me make it better."
POPPY SWEETING: "You really showed them. How dare they say such a thing! How horrible of a person do you have to be to believe muggleborns deserve death? Honestly! I can't even imagine what their parents are like." She spits in the bully's general direction and stands with MC as the bully slowly gets up and runs off.
"They're probably going to tell a teacher. Don't worry, I'll be your alibi. They tripped." She smirks and nudges MC with her elbow. She frowns when they don't react. "MC? Hello? Hey!" She waves her hand in front of MC and she gets more worried when MC still doesn't react.
She calms down and takes the time to examine MC's body language. Treating them like a stunned beast, she speaks softly and reassures MC that everything is okay.

Hii could I request Paul and Marko with a reader who is like Lisa Frankenstein? Just some head canons if you don't really know who she is
Okay, listen, I just finished watching the movie, and I can't stop thinking about it - that last scene? Beloved wife? I told you I would hold your hand - iconic. So yeah, eh there are some spoilers here for Lisa Frankenstein.
It has gotten a little bit linger than i thought, and it's a bit more Marko x reader than Paul x reader x Marko, but the pairing is definitely there! 😅 Hope you like this!
--------------------
"Where are you going?" Trent looked at me. His schoolbag was hanging from one shoulder, his sunglasses slowly sliding down his nose. I shrugged. "For a walk."
"Mum said you had to be home by five."
I rolled my eyes, sighing. Ever since my dad had decided to not only date but marry Trents mom, my life changed. Of course, it had already changed before. That kind of tends to happen when your mom decides to leave. And then die.
"Fine." I walked away from Trent, away from the stuffy schoolbuilding filled with people I didn't want to know. I didn't want to move here, I had liked my - miserable - life back in Santa Cruz. But, with dad being married and all, I had little choice. Moving to Santa Carla, it was. Trent was okay, I suppose. He didn't force me to hang out with him, and he'd let me be - mostly. His mother, however, was overbearing, always wanting to know everything and controlling everything. It gave me an odd, almost claustrophobic sense. And dad? Well, he was more focused on keeping his wife happy than he was worried about me. Luckily for me, it wasn't all bad. I had found a small little sanctuary hidden within the woods.
"Hello again," I said softly as I found my way through the woods. Hidden between several thick trees and bushes was a headstone. The stone itself was rather sober, only a name etched into it. On the ground in front of it, however, was a small bust of a devilishly handsome face. I assumed the face and name went together. It was a shame, really, that this guy had been dead. Had he been alive - well, damn... But he wasn't, and besides, there was this guy in my history class - Michael Emerson? - who was actually kind of cute?
I sat down next to the stone, making my homework, reading in some books, and finally feeling a little at peace. I looked up when I felt a raindrop fall on my nose, quickly grabbing my stuff. "I'll see you later, Marko!" I said softly before running off. The rain started to really pour, and I ran as fast as I could to make it back home to my place.
That night, a storm raged over Santa Carla. Rain, winds, and heavy thunder rolled over the small town. Lightning striked multiple times, but there didn't seem to be any fires anywhere. I lay on my bed, ready to go to sleep. I stared at my window. Lightning flashed again. In the bright flash of the light, I saw a shadow appear in my window, a silhouette. I shot up, looking straight straight my window. Red eyes stared back at me.
I screamed. The red eyed silhouette waved at me, motioning for me to be quiet. Who was he to tell me to be quiet? Angrily, I stepped towards the window, ready to give him a piece of my mind, when suddenly my window flew open. The man stepped inside. I froze. I wanted to scream, but nothing came out. I just looked at him. He looked at me, then at my room. The bed that was slept in, the clothes laying on the chair, the walls filled with drawings and sketches...
He slowly but surely moved towards my art wall, tilting his head as he looked at one of the drawings.
"What is it?" I asked, not sure what to do.
He just pointed at it. It was the drawing I made of Marko's headstone and the bust. I frowned. "So? What about it?"
He pointed at it again, then at himself. I frowned. Surely he didn't mean that-
"You're Marko?" I asked in a whisper. With a sly grin, he nodded. I froze, frowning. "How? Why are you here?"
This time, he gave me a genuine smile. He made a C with his hand and then waved. Puzzled, I looked at him. "Because I said see you later?"
The next morning, I was woken up early by dad. "We need your help."
Once again, he nodded. I took a deep breath.
"I- Hiw? I didn't mean for you to come and see me? I mean - you're dead! I meant I'd come back to your grave?"
Marko looked at me, a hurt expression on his face.
"Sorry! I'm sure you're an alright guy if you were actually - you know - alive?"
I could have sworn I saw his expression turn even more sad. I sighed, deciding I could deal with zombie emotions later. Right now, Marko - or whoever he really was - desperately needed a shower and some clean clothes, and I was in desperate need of some sleep.
I sighed - the woman he married had been working in the meat industry, selling blood. I didn't know why, nor did I want to know why. I had tried to tell my dad that I didn't want to help with the work on the farm, what with me not eating meat anymore and all, but apparently that was not a conversation I could have. I had no say in the matter, I had to help.
Thirty minutes later, I showed up in the barn, begrudgingly starting the work of cleaning them, when a loud metallic clang caused me to look up. One of the many pipes through which the bodily fluids moved had made the sound. I looked up, screaming when the pipe snapped and gallons of blood were poured on top of me. I dropped the shovel I'd been holding, running out of the barn, leaving bloody footprints everywhere I went. I quickly went into my shower, cleaning the blood off of myself.
When I got out of the shower, dressed in my bathrobe, I noticed Marko sitting in a dark corner of my closet. He had changed his muddy clothes for some bright coloured pyjama trousers and an old band shirt I'd gotten from Trent. He looked at me, a certain hunger in his eyes.
"Are you alright?"
He nodded, then shrugged.
"Oh! You need food!" I was already halfway through my room towards the door when I stopped and turned to look at him. "Eh - what, what do dead guys eat?" I asked.
I froze when Markos hand grabbed my wrist, finding the one spot of blood I'd missed, and slowly licking it up. I pulled my arm away from him, disgust written all over my face. "You can't just lick people!" I hissed before realisation dawned on me. "Wait, you need blood?"
That evening, Marko and I sneaked out of the house towards the barn. I had spent the whole afternoon dragging an old and rusty bathtub into the barn, placing it under the broken pipes. I told Marko to wait by the tub as I opened the faucet. It didn't take long, or blood ran into the tub, filling it quickly.
Marko nodded, grinning. I sighed. "I can get you some blood tonight, alright?"
The more Marko drank, the more handsome he became somehow. I couldn't help but feel a warmth inside me when I saw him drink, heard the moans of delight...
"What the hell are you doing out of bed, young lady? And turn the faucet off! It's bad enough that you made us lose so much product today!"
I jumped, freezed, and looked at my stepmother, not sure what to do.
"And who the hell is that? Is he drinking blood? I told your father that I didn't want you to bring your kind over to this place. He wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I knew that morbid loving people like you would only bring trouble, you freak!" She was about to scream, but before I could do anything, Marko was already upon her. Her neck was ripped open, her blood was drunk, and then her lifeless body fell to the ground. I stared at Marko, not really knowing what to say. 'Thanks' felt wrong in this situation. And yet, it was somewhat right?
"You just killed -" I stopped talking, not sure what I was going to say. "We need to bury the body," I decided, grabbing her feet, smiling shyly as Marko easily lifted the dead weight in his arms. I lead the way to the forest, back to where his grave had been - and I couldn't help but feel rather content when he dropped her body in the grave.
"Is it bad, down there?" I asked. He shrugged and then nodded. I grinned. The woman deserved it. Just a little bit. "Good."
One night, he stopped me when I was about to enter the barn. I stopped, puzzled, before realising what he wanted. "You want human blood?"
In the days that followed, every single night, I sneaked him out of the house unseen, making sure he could drink more blood. The more blood he drank, the more whole he became. The more time I spent with him, the more I realised I liked him beyond his looks. And yet, he was still dead. And yet, I still fancied Michael Emerson.
"You know, at the party two weeks ago, he spent a lot of time talking to me? And you'd think it was great, because at the time it was, but then at school he just ignored me? As if we didn't spend three hours connecting? Like, who does that?"
Marko looked at me, clearly telling me that it was Michael Emerson who did that.
"Maybe it was because I was drunk and ran off to throw up, but still. How hard is it to get a guys attention?"
Marko shrugged. I agreed - it shouldn't have to be so hard. But even with his presence, even with his clothing suggestions - no matter what I did, Michael ignored me. I sighed as I pulled the bathtub into the barn again.
He nodded.
After that meal, Marko finally began to talk. His voice was hoarse, but he could tell me about him. How he enjoyed art, how he had been turned into a vampire in the early 1900s, how his vampire family was probably still alive. In the four hours that followed Michael's death, I couldn't help but realise I had never loved Michael. It was Marko. I wanted to make him happy. It was him I wanted by my side. I took his hand in mine as we walked down the forest towards his old grave.
"Shit. I can't just give you human blood, I mean, I wouldn't even know where to get it and -" he was already gone. Quickly, I ran after him, not wanting to abandon the creature I'd come to see as a close friend. He ran towards the boardwalk, the beach - and he found a lone man. Before I knew it, he had bitten the man, draining the blood out of him. It was over surprisingly quick.
The next evening, we spent some time outside the house, lounging on the roof, when I saw Michael riding up to the house on his bike. "What's he doing here?" I asked out loud, looking to see what was happening. Downstairs, the front door opened, and Trent stood there, grinning. Not only that, but within seconds, he was kissing Michael. I looked at it with wide eyes, before jumping off the roof and screaming.
"You motherfucker!" I launched at Trent. "You knew I liked him you fucking piece of-" I stopped when I heard a pained groan beside me. Marko held on to Michael's body. His teeth latched onto his neck, draining him dry. I looked at Marko, a small smile appearing on my face. I then looked at Trent, who was about to either scream or faint.
"You're going to be fine. Just don't tell anyone about this, alright?"
"We can try and find them?" I offered.
"They'd kill you upon sight."
"But you'd be reunited with them."
He chuckled. "You may not value your life, but I've come to value yours quite a lot."
I froze. "You do?"
"You saved me."
"I didn't mean to," I admitted. "It purely happened by accident."
"Happy accidents do exist."
I smiled, laughing when he pulled me close. "I think they do."
"Are you going with?"
"Sure. Do I need to bring the shovel?" I asked, a bit enthusiastically. Of course, killing was bad, I knew that, but there was something about it that gave me an indescribable thrill.
"Nah, we'll find a bonfire." He grinned as he took my hand, leading me towards the boardwalk and the beach.
I'd started a fire while he fed, enjoying the warmth of the flames when I suddenly felt a strange presence behind me.
"What's a pretty thing like you doing all alone?"
I looked at him. "Waiting for a friend."
"I can keep you company if he's running late."
"Don't worry, he's right on time." I grinned, knowing that Marko wouldn't say no to a second meal.
"Shame he isn't here yet, " the young man chuckled, "he might have enjoyed the sho-"
I screamed as he grabbed me, pulling my head to the side, feeling his teeth grazing my skin. I struggled in his grip, moving as much as I could, trying to hold him off when finally I heard his voice.
"Get the fuck off of her!"
Within seconds, I was freed. Marko was standing protectively in front of me, staring at the other vampire. "Paul?"
"Marko? You - you were dead, man! How did this happen?"
"Lisa did. She's a bloody Saint-" I groaned at his pun. "- If it hadn't been for her, I'd be buried still."
"So you saved my mate?"
"Your mate?" I spat the words out. Marko could have told me something about that before leading me on. For weeks he'd been sharing a bed with me, for weeks I'd helped him kill and cover up, for weeks we'd been circling around each other, and now?
"You didn't tell her?" Paul asked, and then he looked at me again, a look of compassion but also curiosity in his eyes.
"Tell me what?"
"Only a mate can save a vampire from the death." Marko said. His eyes softened as he turned towards me. "I didn't want to overwhelm you more than I already did that first night."
"What does it mean being your mate?"
"So, how is he-" I pointed at Paul, "- connected to us?"
"You're one of the loves of my life."
"Aaawh!" I grinned. "That's why you killed Michael? For us?"
Marko chuckled and nodded.
"He's also my mate. And yours."
I grinned. Sure, him almost eating me was quite bad - but if you looked past that, he seemed to really care about Marko, and maybe he could also do that for me?
"So... we - the three of us? We're a thing?"
"We can be," Paul said with an enthusiastic grin. "If you want that is."
"How about I get to know you first?" I asked, smiling as Marko stood next to me. Paul chuckled. "Want to go out for a kill?"

hey!! i hope you're having an amazing day <3 for the valentines day prompts could i request a platonic "you’re my family too." for roan and the reader
luveline's valentine's mini party ♥︎
thank you for your request! eddie and roan tw burns | fem!reader
Eddie burns himself at work, an angry stripe of red blistered skin up the length of his forearm. He goes to the ER, and he gets everything dressed properly. His arm hurts really bad, but he's not in any danger of infection as long as he's clean and careful. 
Roan thinks he's gonna die. 
To be fair to her, it must've felt a little traumatic for her to get picked up from school by you instead of him, and then to be brought straight to the hospital. You'd done a really great job at looking after her while he was getting looked at, you'd been more calm than he or Uncle Wayne, that's for sure, but you're no miracle worker, and you'd cried. Roan had seen Eddie in a hospital bed with his shirt cut off and bandages wrapped around his arm and burst into tears herself. No amount of vending machine treats had helped.
Eddie's home now, he'd barely been there for the night, and though it's past Roan's bed time you're all awake at the kitchen table. Roan lies against Eddie's chest, refusing to leave him for even a second since she sat down, and you're making mac and cheese. 
"Roanie, Roanie, macaroni," he sings quietly, hand buried in his daughter's soft curls. "Where'd your macaroni go?" 
She doesn't sing along. Her nose stabs him in the ribs. 
"I'm really sorry about dinner," you say. 
Eddie tips his head back. "Why, angel?" 
"I mean, I'm sorry I didn't get dinner for her when we were in the ER, or you, I was just so worried. It's no excuse, but–" 
"Woah, hey, what? You don't have to be sorry. I don't think any of us were thinking about dinner."
You're moving fast at the stove, tipping the saucepan of mac and cheese into three different bowls. He notices you giving yourself the smaller portion and promises to make it upto you eventually. His poor girl. 
His poor girls. 
"I just don't want Roan going hungry," you say.
Eddie frowns, because he doesn't want that either. 
"Are you hungry, sweetheart?" he asks, moving his head down to talk near her ear. 
She nods and sits up. She's concerningly quiet, and Eddie decides enough is enough — he's gonna cheer his baby up if it's the last thing he does. He turns her around in his lap and aeroplanes her food though she's probably too old. He does voices, he kisses her cheek, he bounces her on his knee and shouts, "Earthquake!" until she's giggling and begging him to stop. 
You don't pepper up as Roan does. He plops her down in his seat to use the bathroom, and he hears your quiet tones as he returns, pausing by the stairs. 
"I'm really sorry, Ro," you're saying.
"It's okay," Roan says. 
"No, it's not. I didn't mean to scare you today with daddy, and I'm sorry I wasn't being as brave as you deserved." He hears you sniffle. "I didn't mean to scare you," you repeat. 
"You didn't scare me," Roan says. 
"No?" 
"No," she says. 
"Can I have a hug?" you ask.
Eddie steps quietly into the doorway to watch you embrace her. She climbs into your lap and hugs you tightly, her chubby cheek pressed to your chest. You hug her and you look so miserable that Eddie feels his heart break for you. He has no clue why you're taking today this hard. He thinks you must've been more terrified than you'd let on. 
"I'm supposed to look after you," you murmur. "You and Eddie, you're my family." 
"You're my family, too," Roan says. 
You make a sound like you've been punched. "I know," you say. 
You kiss her forehead and push her away from you gently. 
"I'm glad I didn't scare you, baby. Thank you for being so brave today. I'm so proud of you." 
Eddie grins at the way Roan puffs up. He slips into the room and rest his good arm across your shoulders, leaning down to kiss your cheek as he squeezes you. He rests his nose against your cheek. 
Roan's not the only one who was brave today, he thinks. Then, Christ, I'm getting soft. 
"You looked after us just fine," Eddie says, standing up. "Now you gotta look after yourself and finish your dinner, sweetheart." 
Roan nods with a sense of urgency. "We need juice," she says decidedly.
"And you need another tramadol before bed," you say to Eddie. 
He sighs in relief. His arm fucking kills. If he didn't have his girls he'd be rolling around on the floor.

Not sure if this is a pointless question, but I read your “what if Charlie time travelled from the end of BD2 to the start of Twilight” meta, and I propose a vaguely similar scenario:
The year before Bella comes to live in Forks, Charlie gets into bird watching. Really into bird watching. Turns out there’s a rare species of bird living in his garden, so he sets up high-quality cameras in order to capture images of this bird.
Charlie loves birds so much now.
Bella comes to live with him, all is ok, until the motion sensors on his (well hidden) cameras start going off frequently at night, and Charlie can’t for the life of him figure out why. Fear not, he can slow down the footage he captures! Maybe the bird lives in his roof now, and–
Hmm. That looks suspiciously like Edward Cullen’s face (we’re talking very, very high quality cameras here). Pfft, don’t be ridiculous Charlie, of course it’s no–
Oh, oh yep. It’s Ed. Moving very quickly towards what looks like Bella’s bedroom every night. Instead of denying it, Charlie is 100% convinced he’s right on this (he is).
What does he do?
Anon's referring to this post.
Caveat
I sigh as I write this but anon, sadly, this would never happen. First, Edward enters at night, has low/no body heat, and there weren't any automated lighting systems and if there were he probably would have moved faster or scrammed.
A vampire's natural speed is such he'd be a blip on a camera, likely not captured at all depending on the frame rate, and in dim lighting he'd be barely visible and even if Charlie's gone all out for some reason with infared Edward wouldn't pick up on it without giving off heat.
Edward's more likely to get caught because of Bella's window hinges, which notably squeaked when he first snuck in, but he uh... greased... those...
Edward's getting caught when Bella fesses up (which was never).
What Does He Do?
Alright, Edward gets caught on camera.
I'm going to assume this is before Edward confessed to Bella that he'd been doing this, as he'd been doing this for quite a while before he fessed up to her.
Which means Edward hasn't introduced himself as boyfriend, Charlie has no idea that Bella and Edward interact much if at all, Bella for that matter doesn't know either as she's been sighing from afar and having emotional whiplash from Edward's push and pull technique of acting as if he's very intrigued and then ignoring her for weeks straight the next second.
Charlie at first wonders if he's hallucinating, because what the fuck, this kid is moving crazy fast around their house (he's there for only one frame as the frame rate's too slow to fully catch his movement) and... int he middle of the night like this and then he just leaves at daybreak? What is he, Dracula?
Charlie, not being highly technical (canonically the Swans are not the most compute friendly family/reminiscent of the times when personal computers weren't everywhere yet necessarily) might wonder if he's been hacked by some local who has beef with the Cullens. It's possible, he supposes, he doesn't know how hacking works but this is also something easy to check and put a stop to.
Charlie goes to visit Dr. Cullen, shows him the video, and says, "Hey, can you confirm whether this is happening and get your son to knock it off if it is?" Charlie's not going to press charges, this is stupid kid bullshit (as it just looks like Edward's running around I imagine and I doubt he has cameras that capture Edward actually going into Bella's room), but he needs to stop this.
Carlisle has a talk with Edward in which Edward is mortified, mortified beyond imagining, and tries to explain to Carlisle just what he's doing running around the Swan household at night and getting caught on camera. He tries to explain that he's deeply worried about Bella, she might die in the middle of the night because of spiders, but it... doesn't sound... good...
Edward does, I imagine, come off as an anxious person in love who isn't sure how to handle his feelings/isn't quite mature enough to admit Bella's need for privacy/that Edward can't control every aspect of her life nor should he. I imagine Carlisle and Edward have a good long talk about this, Carlisle thinks everything is resolved, and Edward immediately returns to breaking into the Swan house.
He just destroys Charlie's security system first.
The mystery of who keeps breaking Charlie's cameras (and Charlie does suspect Edward because of this except... how the hell is he doing it?) is resolved to Bella later as canon progresses. She finds it funny and romantic. Silly old dad had no idea a vampire in love with her was breaking into her bedroom.

Probably bad transformers animated headcanons
Bumblebee listens to 100 gecs and uses TikTok. Both of which he does with his speakers turned up. In public.
Prowl has considered buying a fur suit but stops himself every time he's about to go through with it.
Optimus purposefully misuses slang and memes to watch the crew members that know what the terms mean die inside. Even pronounces them wrong for extra flavor.
Ratchet watches soap operas. It started out as simply being curious as to what trash the humans consider good stories but then he got legitimately invested.
Sometimes Bulkhead tries eating human food just because it looks really really good, but it always inevitably tastes kinda gross because he wasn't meant to process that kind of material. He wants to find a way to convert it to energon but until that day comes, he's forced to simply stare and long for it.
The repair crew has movie nights once a week with Sari, both to get a better understanding of human culture, and as an excuse to hang out. Every once in awhile they accidentally pick a movie that they don't realize Sari probably should not be watching until it's too late. They do not speak of the Friday the 13th incident. Or the time Sari picked Coraline and Optimus had to leave halfway through.
In that vein, after realizing how jumpy he was about spiders on Halloween, Optimus actually tried giving himself a degree of exposure therapy so no harmless tiny arachnids needlessly die by his axe. Now he at least TRIES to bring them outside with a cup and a piece of paper, but he's not above just asking Bulkhead to do it instead.
Ratchet has taken to finding old junker cars and trying to fix them up in his spare time. Their makeup is painfully simple compared to Cybertronian anatomy, and it's not like he has to worry about what happens if he can't fix one fast enough. He still thinks just selling spare parts on the open market is barbaric, but it's kind of therapeutic for him to just work on something like that without the stress of having someone's life or even just general well-being in his hands. He lets Bulkhead repaint them when he's finished.
Sari does NOT actually know how sex works. At least, like, not accurately. The version of it she told to Optimus was wildly off-base, but still juuuust close enough to freak him out.
Similarly, Prowl has observed nature long enough to get a sort of incomplete idea of how all that goes down, and has come to the conclusion that organics universally lay eggs.
Bumblebee plays horror games with the lights off just to prove hes not chicken, and then has horrible nightmares for a week straight. He also fully believes in every video game creepypasta/myth you tell him, and swears up and down he's seen Herobrine.
Bulkhead is terrified of mice because he doesn't understand how anything can be that teeny tiny and he heard they can chew through metal like some kind of freaky organic scraplet. He gets nightmares about Ratchet opening him up and finding a whole colony of them chewing on his wires.
Sometimes while Megatron was just a head in Sumdac's lab, he'd be bored enough watch whatever was on TV between schemes and naps. The only thing he would ever admit he liked was wrestling because he felt at least a little vindication watching the pathetic organic wretches beat the slag out of each other. That and it reminded him a bit of his gladiator days.
Shockwave is a pretentious energon tea drinker and has whatever the Cybertron equivalent of a loose leaf tea infuser is. He INSISTS it's objectively better and whatever the more normie type of energon is simply cannot compare.
Lugnut has date nights with Strika but they usually start off as sparring matches that get juuuust a little out of hand. He would not have it any other way and loves when his big scary wife throws him across the room and into a wall, then immediately rushes over to check if he still functions. It may be the concussions, but he swears she looks like a holy being towering above him from where he's slumped over on the floor.
Blitzwing is actually pretty functional from day to day. He's had his multiple faces for long enough that he knows how to cope with them and work with them. Sometimes he has poor impulse control, and sometimes he can't stop himself from feeding his anger, but overall he's actually pretty good about keeping himself in check. He just leans into the whole "crazy" schtick because he knows that's how others see him and no matter what he does, he's not gonna change their perception. It's sort of a spite thing when he annoys people with it, but it's also kind of a self deprecating cry for help that he's REALLY hoping someone will eventually pick up on.
Starscream is only a Decepticon because he wanted to pursue acting but nobody would hire a Warframe. He sought out fame and adoring fans in the gladiator arena, and he got what he was after until Megatron kicked his skid plate and Starscream was suddenly no longer the popular seeker heartthrob bad boy, but a laughing stock who fell when someone bigger and stronger clipped his wings. He originally joined Megatron with the intent to climb the ranks and snatch his following out from under him, but then the war broke out and his whole plan was thrown off track.
No Cybertronian is 100% okay with Earth vehicles looking the way they do and not being alive. It's pretty creepy seeing what they think is just some guy carrying an organic around only to remember right, yeah, the organic's controlling him like cordyceps in an ant and he was never alive to begin with.
Blurr has to intentionally talk much slower than he would at his natural speaking pace just because nobody can understand what in Primus's name he's saying.
Between him, Jazz and the Jet Twins, it's actually kind of a meme on Cybertron that the elite guard badge messes with your speech synthesizer because Sentinel is the only member that speaks even slightly normally.
Jazz once attempted to show Sentinel a nature documentary that Prowl recommended. Sentinel proceeded to purge his fuel tank about five minutes in and forbid jazz from watching that filth outside his own quarters.
Both of the jet twins play fortnite whenever they're on earth and come up with the nastiest incomprehensible insults they can to spam into the microphone because they think that's just part of the game that nobody is taking seriously rather than unbelievably toxic people having mental breakdowns at losing.
And finally,
Cybertron has its own cryptids and urban legends: a long, serpentine beast, as long as 60 Warframes that slinks through the oil of Iacon's aqueducts. A jet black cybercat with three tails that will take your spark if you look it in the optics for too long. A shuttle painted in neons, appearing at the station on its own when there is only one transformer at the station, speaking honeyed words in a voice that sounds too familiar, and promising to bring you home safe, but keeps driving and never stops until you're in stasis or offline. A spectral figure that haunts the underground tunnels that few dare traverse, keeping to the shadows and darting out of sight, but you can always hear their engine revving, and always hear their anguished wails. A frame-bare mechanical avian, practically skeletal, that circles over the sea of rust, massive in size and always waiting to swoop down on unsuspecting mechs. They are spoken of in hushed whispers, none know for certain whether they are real or simply fiction. Most think it's silly to believe in such things, but the superstitions around them persist.

Raian with Friends & Family 👥️
Requested by @aneenasevla
▪︎ let's be honest, Raian doesn't have friends. His feral nature, type of life he is leading and the lack of emotional and social intelligence. He knows one thing only, how to kill and destroy
▪︎ Fast forward, he's now around 27/28 I guess so I hope after his Grandpa's death he'd become little grounded and tasted how it feels like to loose someone he secretly cared for.
▪︎We also established that Raian is an Introvert mostly, so connecting with ppl other than those who prepare his missions at the back office isn't a habit of his.
▪︎ Raian, only considered one person to connect with and that was Ohma and still is. Not out of appreciation per se, but out of inner respect and as a kure, it runs in their tradition to respect strong challenging opponents.
▪︎Raian and Ohma, are mostly training together, yes they do have side conversations, tease each other. Raian mainly pick at Ohma and give him hard time.
▪︎ Will Raian ever be loyal to Ohma ? the answer is yes and no.
▪︎ Raian is an assassin from a ruthless clan his loyalty will always be to the clan #1 any one else can die or go to hell he couldn't care less.
▪︎With Ohma, apparently his only acquaintance, he will consider being there for if needed or if he felt its needed. Anything related to destroying count him in.
▪︎ Raian is possessive and the jealous type, so If ohma has another group of ppl he would hang out with or a GF , Raian will hate it and will make sure he'll speak filthy about them, make trouble and cause inconvenience to anyone . That was few years back
▪︎ Raian now, has a huge responsibility on his shoulder that even his friendship with Ohma is on a stop-loss till he get his revenge.
▪︎Raian knows Ohma is there for him and the clan because they allowed him to live among them and be part of them,however; he is very distant now, training non stop , have no time and had grow bit mature, so I hope .
▪︎ In Festival seasons, Raian would occasionally enjoy some Saki or beer pints with the clan , the firework, he's not a fun killer. Few years back he would had ended with fights after each and every celebration just for fun, now he is hardly ever seen socialising at all.
▪︎ Fusui his sister, she is probably the only one who has full access to him. Knows his moods and his where abouts, his missions and she does check on him every now and then. He sometimes answers with a ( F*ck off ) or keep her on read and send her the middle finger emoji , his way of telling her he's in an ok mood or doing fine.
▪︎ the time he didn't respond with 24hrs, Fusui gets worried. Listen guys, Raian is an Asshole we all know that but he's a rare treasure to the clan and he's a big ass stupid idiot trouble maker baby who might be going through hard time after grandpa got killed. I feel he's been in an inner conflict for some time now.
▪︎ Raian will either mature or becomes a nightmare unstoppable and unattainable.
▪︎ I Hear you asking about his parents: not sure but I think they dropped his case with his first ever kill. They don't hate him they just believe and certain that Raian is war God and they probably just like the rest of the clan members, know he'd destroy anyone who'd try to speak up or trade the Clan secrets or jeopardise their Safety. THAT RAIAN NO ONE SHOULD SEE .. lucifer himself will dethrone himself and run straight to hell saving his ass from Raian.
RAIAN & Gifts 🎁:
▪︎ He basically rips the cute nice ribbon apart , has an annoying look on his face, without much though given to the gift he picks it up from the box look at it : ( WDF IS THIS ) no thank you and no consideration. Just throws it away in hopes he'll use it one day.
▪︎ At school , Raian had few crushes but he crushed them back quite literally when the girl used to approach him shyly with his birthday gift but instead he slams her to the wall push her with his body, lift her skirt teasing her, grab the gift , opening it fast, looking at it , through to the ground , laughing at her crying face and walk away. Still for some reason girls at school liked him a lot ...
▪︎ fast forward, the only one who gives him gifts is YEP YOU GUESSED IT FUSUI ...
▪︎she buys him gifts everytime she goes on a mission, expensive perfumes, showr gels, expensive knives sometime, she gets him a branded trainer, she knows his size.
▪︎ Did he ever got her anything ? The answer is
NO NO NO
▪︎instead he always gives her his Credit Card .. that's what he does for her and she's okay with it.
▪︎ Raian as an assassin he earns so much more than her .
▪︎ Surprisingly though; I think Raian do have great taste , basic, clean with a twist. He never shops he only goes online to certain stores picks something he likes throw it at his sister face and still calling her a bitch 🤣
▪︎ Christmas and Gifts : let's not be delulus , Raian purposely choose a mission to get away from all the gatherings that annoys the shit of him.
▪︎ he comes back and he has gifts laying on his bed, he secretly gets excited and has a tiny little smile.
▪︎ he would probably receive a gift from Fusui, Holies, karura, the school girl crush who still with a hope and I guess few more from the close clan relatives, his mom will try to hug him but Lord his eyes and the way he'd look at her sents her back to her seat ...
I hope you enjoyed it 🤗😚

AITA for surviving an assassination attempt?
For context, the other month my rival (18M) blackmailed me (17M) and my friends (15-18, F, M, cat) into pulling a heist so he could exonerate us, otherwise he'd be forced to disband our vigilante group. (He was a detective but that's not really relevant rn). Once we did it, though, he had the entire building swatted, absolutely surrounded by what looked like cops from all over the capital, and I had to let myself be arrested and interrogated to give my teammates time to get out of the premises. Of course we knew this was all just a plot on my rival's part to corner me and assassinate me, so we'd hatched an escape plan in advance to get me out. Fast forward a few weeks later, we ran into my rival during a heist on a ship, and he was absolutely, balls to the walls, furious at me. Granted, it was probably a buildup of so many things and this was just the straw that broke the camel's back, but he seemed genuinely pissed that I ruined his lifelong plot and that I 'have things that he doesn't' and 'don't let the bonds of my past hold me back'. But whatever, that's just Tuesday for us. But THEN (this all happened after we fought each other on the ship, so we were both pretty fucking drained) he decided to sacrifice himself to save me and my friends and asked that we complete our heist on his behalf to avenge him.
Like?? Yes, me and my friends would have done the heist regardless, but... I know he'd always been a sore loser - we've fought before, but it was something coy, the two of us had been holding back a little because we were scheming behind each other's backs - when he lost that fight, he'd said he hated me but we both knew that that wasn't the only thing he felt about me. (I also hated him, but we were in love about it. I thought he knew.) And now that he lost this battle, he just decided to... straight up go ahead and die? I'm sorry, did you think it was easy to contrive the entirety of Tokyo's police force and convince a desperate public prosecutor willing to sell people to the devil for one pack of yakisoba that she's capable of righteousness? I know my rival wouldn't have respected me if I had actually ended up dead in that dingy interrogation room anyway, the way I wouldn't have respected him if his initial deal was actually legit and not a coverup for his mercenary job. I survived for him, so why wouldn't he do the same for me? I know he could beat me in the game if he'd just - lived, and started another scheme to end my life, I don't know! It's so unfair.
Anyway, I just needed to get that off my chest, we have more pressing things to do rn. Like killing God. We're killing God on Christmas Eve BTW so if you ever feel like joining us on that, my number's still the same. Or, our online forum is still up. Whichever you'd like.

For a poor COVID sick brain, may I give this prompt from a medicated dream scene I just woke from 😘:
Steve: “Yeah. I’m both-sexual”
Robin: “do…. do you mean Bisexual?”
Steve, nodding confidently: “yeah that’s what I said.”
oh my god I love you but please go back to sleep
-----
Robin let herself in the front door, pocketing her spare keys, and waving a thank you to Keith, who had not only swung by the grocer with her but dropped her off at Steve's afterward. He owed her, for taking Steve's shift on top of her own, and she had promised she would get Steve back on his feet as fast as possible.
She headed for the kitchen and ditched her bag before bolting up the stairs and straight to Steve's room. He'd sounded awful on the phone when he'd called in, and she'd worried about him literally all day. She didn't even consider knocking on his bedroom door, couldn't fathom why he'd shut it in the first place since he was the only one here, and froze when she saw the mound of blankets on the bed.
"Steve?"
The mound shifted like some kind of jello turtle, and Robin relaxed at the sign of life.
"I brought- uh, I brought you soup," Robin tried, a little louder than before. "It's still in the can, I didn't- you'd probably get sicker if I tried to make it from scratch. I got oyster crackers too, the little ones you like to just eat plain like some kind of heathen. And uh... some cold meds, because- Steve? Can you hear me?"
A sound emanated from beneath the blankets, which began to roil until Steve's ridiculous, floppy hair appeared approximately near the pillows. "Robin?"
"Yeah," she said, moving closer so he could see her. He stared, eyes bleary, hair awry, and face flushed and Robin's heart gave a little twist of sympathy. "You look like shit."
"Oh, you're real," Steve said, flopping back. "I feel like shit."
"I know, you called in sick," Robin said, coming to sit at the end of the bed. She didn't want to get sick, but she wanted to be there for him. "You've never called in sick. You once came in with a hangover so bad you spent the entire shift-"
"Stop, god, please." Steve flopped the covers back up over his head, muffling his voice. "I'm so fucking cold, Robin. I'm going to die."
She pursed her lips and got back to her feet. "I'm gonna go warm up the soup. That'll help, right?" Steve made some kind of unintelligible noise, and Robin nodded. "I'll be right back."
It took longer to find the can opener than it did to heat the soup, and a concerted effort not to spill it on her way back up the stairs with it, the bag of oyster crackers crammed under her arm. She wasn't sure that soup actually helped colds or whatever Steve had, but it seemed like the right thing to do, and it wasn't like she could just leave him here alone. He probably hadn't left the bed, hadn't eaten anything. She'd probably have to excavate him and make him take a shower.
Or not, she thought as she got back to the room to find Steve had excavated himself to the floor and was lying spread eagle in his boxers. She sighed, setting the soup and the crackers on the nearest flat surface.
"Steve? Are you okay?"
"You left," he said plaintively.
"And this was as far as you got following me?" She didn't mean it to come out so incredulous, but it was better than outright laughing at him. Probably. "Get up, you should be in bed."
Steve groaned and put an arm over his face. "I don't want to be in bed. I've been in bed all day. Alone."
"Well, now you're gonna be in bed all night alone, too," Robin said, nudging at his ankle with her socked foot. He twitched his leg and kicked at her half-heartedly. "I'm not feeding you soup on the floor."
"But you'll feed me soup in bed?" Steve asked.
"I'm not feeding you soup anywhere."
She nudged at his foot again and he twitched his foot back at her again, but he struggled to roll over and crawl back onto the bed. She waited until he was seated and at least somewhat stable before she opened the bag of oyster crackers and put it in his hands. He stared down into it with a frown.
"Not soup," he said after a few seconds, and Robin coughed to hide her laugh as soon as he looked up at her.
"Crackers," she said. "I'm going to go get a thermometer and frankly I don't trust you with a bowl of liquid unsupervised right now. So eat some crackers, I'll be right back."
She left him there, staring into the bag of oyster crackers as if it contained all the answers to the universe, and made her way to the nearest bathroom. She wasn't sure which one he'd keep a thermometer in, but she guessed the upstairs one, nearest to the bedrooms. A bit of searching proved her right. She tromped down the stairs just to make a little noise in the huge empty house, grabbed the cold syrup she'd brought, and returned to his room to find him exactly as she'd left him, crackers uneaten.
"Robin," he said, without looking up. "I think I like both."
She looked between the crackers and the soup. "Well, that's good," she said, moving to set the cold meds beside the soup, which she picked up and stirred before holding it up for him to see. "Do you wanna trade me, and then you can put some crackers in and have both?"
Steve's face screwed up. "What? No, not- not- that's not both. I mean, I-" He looked up at her, like she should understand, and she nearly fumbled the bowl in her grasp when she realized what he meant.
"Oh." She stood for a beat, and then: "Like both."
He nodded, and dropped his gaze away, back to the crackers, and hell, apparently they did contain some answers to the universe. "Yeah. I think I might be... both-sexual."
"Do... do you mean bisexual?" she asked gently.
He nodded confidently now. "Yeah, that's what I said."
It wasn't, but she was pretty sure she didn't need the thermometer anymore to tell her how high his fever was- the answer was surely very high, to the point she considered maybe trying to carry him to the hospital immediately. To the point where she was pretty sure he wasn't going to remember any of this in the morning. She sat beside him and gingerly tugged the bag of crackers from his grasp, replacing it with the bowl of soup, which he immediately wrapped his hands around like they were in the arctic and it was his only lifeline. She sprinkled some crackers over the top, and watched as he fished them out with his spoon, more eating the damp crackers than the soup.
She leaned against his shoulder. "I wish I could know what conclusions you would have reached if I'd handed you the soup instead."
Steve snorted. "It wasn't the- it wasn't the crackers." He shoved the two he'd fished out into his mouth and held the cracker-bereft bowl closer to her for more of them, until she obliged. "I kept having dreams."
"God that's even better," she said. "Steve Harrington fever-dreamed his way into a sexual awakening."
"You're making it weird," he told her, using the back of the spoon to push the crackers under the surface before scooping them up.
"It's already weird," Robin said, shoving her shoulder into him a little more for emphasis, and then: "Congrats, by the way."
He stilled, twisting a little to look sidelong at her. "Is it... is it something you're supposed to congratulate? Should I have-"
"No, Steve, no," Robin told him, shaking with laughter and dumping more crackers into his soup to distract him. "I'm just- you've just come a long way from the guy I sat behind. I like this you a lot better."
"Oh." Steve turned back to the soup and fished out a couple more crackers, but then just sat there with the spoon resting on the edge of the bowl. "Me too."
Robin smiled. "I think I'll like you even more when you're not delirious."
Steve chuckled, the sound turning into a cough he fought to suppress. "I think I'll like me better then, too. You brought meds?"
"Yeah," she said, nudging his bowl. "I'm not giving you anything on an empty stomach though. There are limits to my ability to nurse anyone and they stop at cleaning up if you puke. So, drink up."
He gave her a bit of a lop-sided smile, but he raised the bowl to his lips and took a few slow sips, and Robin clambered to her feet to get the meds with a smile of her own.

Vance hopper hcs (pt 7) [dating hcs!]
(warning this was not proof read and i am tired)
general hcs:
the relationship would either have to be you guys being friends first or growing close and then dating, he needs to trust the person 110% before he can date them
has a bit of a player rep because of self-distructive tendencies (using girls to distract, etc)
if you're a guy it'll take a lot of reassuring his internalized homophobia and working through that together as well. some times it'll be fine but then it'll hit harder than ever before, straining the relationship a LOT
pushes a lot of potential partners away because he doesn't allow himself to feel emotions and puts up lots of walls. if you truly want to date him it'll be a lot of work for the both of you to make it work
who he tends to go for:
I'm gonna be honest he tends to go for ladies a lot, and finds himself crushing on them more often
there will be guys who catches his attention every so often
unfortunately, he tends to go after straight guys a lot and shoves his feelings aside-
tends to like femininity in guys a lot, just subtle features
very much likes someone who compliments his personality a lot
likes muscles,, like- well defined ones, muscle tone etc etc. enough said
piercings will make him fold twice as fast, tattoos though? folds instantly/j
in public:
ride or die. legit just ride or die.
someone talks shit about you, you dating him, or makes a rude comment/remark whatever? already going after them. you literally don't even have to ask
not very lovey-dovey in public. prefers handholding, pinkies interlocking, subtle touches, hands in each other's pockets, giving you his jacket
speaking of his jacket, he does, in fact, expect it back sorry not sorry
lots of staring- not in like- a creepy way LMAO just like- admiring from a distance yk
dates don't usually happen either sorry, will take you out if you asked or something special was happening
despite being not very lovey-dovey he is very possessive and gets jealous easily, usually the reason why he gets into fights over you (besides remarks from other people about you)
in private:
boundaries are tbh one of the first things discussed in the start of y'alls relationship, he doesn't want to fuck it up
lays out ground things, stating a lot that "hey i don't have much money so i can't buy you things" and "i don't like showing a lot of affection in public" as well as "i have a lot of mood swings and we will fight at one point, maybe even a lot"
warns you a lot that you can leave him at any time very early in the relationship
once you date for longer he'd probably let you paint his nails... if he was dead asleep LMAO
honestly though if you asked and he was whipped enough he'd probably let you paint like,, a pinkie yk. nothing else though
you can touch his hair but only with a lot of coaxing. braiding it? it's fine just take it out after. ponytail? also fine, might keep it in
man was raised with MANNERS, would never lay a hand on you (fem/neu/masc doesn't matter)
tends to have more patience with you but with his short fuse fights tend to happen often but they're never screaming matches or physical
if it does progress too far? he's driving or walking out saying he needs space and he'll come back in an hour or longer depending on what it was
flowers are rare, only for anniversaries/birthdays/etc. he is not from a high economic class, man does not have a lot of cash on him nor does his family
lots of movie dates in though, watching horror movies on purpose to see your reactions, tease you whenever you get scared
a lot more affectionate in private, more touches, hugs, etc
you will get crushed by him constantly, puts his full body weight on you. no mercy.
very cuddly, less so when manic episodes arrive but when depressive ones do? all he really wants to do is hold you and just kinda be in the silence
also early morning cuddles are indeed a thing and he WILL force you to stay 5, 10, 15, or more minutes with him. responsibilities be damned
as you get more serious he'd probably give you smaller, more personal things, as gifts. honestly probably random shit he found too that he found cool-
if the idea of kids was ever brought up he'd entertain the idea somewhat but shut it down until way later
he has lots of self-doubt so a lot of the relationship is saying "yes I still love you Vance" and "no I'm not going to leave you Vance"
he honestly appreciates you more than he can ever say, "i love you" doesn't ever seem "big" enough of a phrase to say

Atom Smasher - SFW Alphabet
Tumblr media
WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS OF THE BLACK ADAM MOVIE, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
A/N: They/them pronouns used for reader! Likely a bit OOC sorry!
(credit for the SFW prompt goes to Jschqtt right here on Tumblr!)
Tumblr media
Albert Rothstein:
A: Affection (how affectionate are they? how do they show they care?)
Albert is a pretty affectionate guy, but he's not excessive. He'll gladly hold your hand in public and give you a quick kiss but that's as far as he'll go. He loves, loves, loves doing things for you!
Ask him to do anything and he's already up and ready. He loves doing acts of service for his significant other. He would like to be more affectionate but I think his bashfulness stops him.
B: Beauty (what do they admire? what do they think is beautiful about their S/O?)
Oh gosh where does he even begin?
He loves passionate people, people that are ready to explain their interests to him without a second thought. The kind of people that can rant about something for like 20 minutes straight. He finds that these kinds of people tend to have a light in their eyes that he admires in his partner.
I feel like he's someone that admires people's hands? Very random but I think he'd like to play with his partners hands a lot.
C: Cuddles (do they like to cuddle? how would they cuddle?)
Cuddling is such a blissful thing to him, a dream really. He's definitely a bit stiff every time the two of you cuddle, but he warms up to it fast!
He likes to lie on top of you and snuggle his face into the crook of your neck, he's almost like a teddy bear. He craves cuddles.
D: Domestic (do they want to settle down? how are they with cooking and cleaning?)
A part of him daydreams about the future of his life and the possibility of settling down, but he's still very young, the pursuit of his vigilante career is a big debris against settling down and he knows this. I don't think he wants to settle down for a very long time.
For cooking... He tries. He's not horrible but he's not the greatest. He knows how to make basic meals like noodles and rice and eggs but doesn't tend to try to make anything more than that.
For cleaning he's actually really good! He wants you to enter his home when it's always pristine, he also just isn't a fan of living in a really dirty space.
His belief is that he must clean his plates and cups and table so one day whenever you feel like it, you can eat and drink and sit in his place, perfectly catered towards you.
E: Ending (if they had to break up with their s/o, how would they do it?)
He's horrible at trying to communicate that he's ending things because he doesn't want you to hate him. He'd ask to see you and meet up to go somewhere. Nothing fancy or special, because he's ending things.
He stutters a bit but the words leave his mouth. His reasoning soon follows, if he had to end things it'd likely be due to his work with the Justice Society, after seeing a comrade die for the first time he couldn't help but imagine that one day that could be you. He won't risk it, even if you're all in.
F: Fiancé (how do they feel about commitment? how fast do they want to get married?)
Marriage is something that does pop up in his head but he wouldn't act on it, don't get the wrong idea: he's ABSOLUTELY dedicated to you but he's sensible enough to realize he still has stuff to figure out about himself before taking that big step with you.
G: Gentle (how gentle are they? physically and emotionally)
Due to his powers, and rather fit form, Albert likes to be gentle and won't risk hurting you in any way. He's the pinnacle of gentle, his touch is feather light at first before transitioning into a comforting firmness.
Emotionally he is very light-hearted and well intentioned, always taking your feelings into account and just.. thinking about you a lot. He's not a mean person and doesn't even like pretending to be.
H: Hugs (do they like hugs? how often do they do it, and what are they like?)
Before dating he rarely hugged you at all, he didn't want to overstep in any way and would only hug you if you approached him first, and gosh does he love your hugs. You may have been the first to initiate the hug but he's always the last one letting go. He can't get enough.
Whilst dating his hugs double, but he still puts your comfort into consideration, if you're not liking his touch he's immediately off of you, no questions asked.
His hugs are the pinnacle of comfort, his body isn't overly cold or overly warm but it's all consuming. He holds you like he hasn't seen you in years. A 10/10 hugger.
I: I love you (how fast would they say ‘i love you’?)
He's the type to say it in the heat of the moment but mean every word, maybe you saved him during a mission or did a cool trick with him, either way the words leave his mouth before he can stop himself. He'd probably say the three special words around 7 months into dating.
J: Jealousy (how jealous do they get? how do they act when they’re jealous?)
Admittedly, Albert can have a jealous streak but feels great shame for these feelings. He thinks jealousy is ugly on him.
So if he sees someone getting a bit too friendly with you he's frozen at first. He doesn't want to cause a scene and he doesn't want to embarrass you in any way so he just... Watches.
You can easily catch on with the way he just stares at you and the random person flirting with you, he looks like a kicked puppy.
If someone was making advances on you and making you uncomfortable he's not afraid to just grab you and look at the person with slight apprehension, he's brave about it though.
K: Kisses (what are their kisses like? where do they kiss their s/o, and where do they like to be kissed?)
It's a tie between your cheek and your open palm.
He loves kissing your face, smothering it with affection and love. But one day when he was tasked with waking you up and you lightly pushed his face away he held your palm and planted a kiss against it, ever since he's been enamored by the act itself.
L: Little ones (how are they around kids? do they want kids?)
Dude is too young to even think about kids right now, he's never thought about it really.
When it comes to kids though he's a mix of awkward but very friendly, he's always so nice to kids and is completely ready to play a round of mermaids with a bunch of kids at the pool if he has to.
M: Mornings (how are mornings spent with them?)
Mornings start with a kiss, returning to the open palm kiss thing, he usually gravitates towards kissing your hand or cheek in the mornings because he's conscious about his morning breath.
He's usually up first but is definitely not happy about it, he'll lazily tread into the kitchen and make a warm beverage for you or a light breakfast before getting ready for the day.
Albert likes to do things with you, anything, he'll touch his shoulder against yours as you wash and dry the dishes together. He'll be smudged against you as you brush your teeth together. He'll be humming a tune whilst you help each other make the bed. And he'll sit on the floor with you whilst folding laundry. Mornings are so raw and very domestic with Albert.
N: Nights (how are nights spent with them?)
A quick hearty dinner, few conversations about each other's day and watching a bit of TV before settling in bed.
He's very loopy at night and not very communicative, it takes him a bit to brush his teeth and get ready for bed. He hates the way clothes sometimes cling to his skin when he's exhausted and so he wears very little in bed.
He's actually okay with you having more blankets than him simply for the fact he likes chilly air sometimes.
O: Open (when would they start revealing things about themselves? do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Albert's a mix between the two, if you ask him about something, more often than not he'll tell you outright and honestly.
If you aren't working with the Justice Society or affiliated with them in any way, he's quite reluctant to tell you he's a vigilante working with them. But if you've been dating for a while, maybe 6 months? He'll tell you.
He does like things to go organically though so he'd appreciate it if you don't constantly bombard him with personal questions all at once, he's not secretive but he might not also want to share certain things until your relationship has grown.
P: Patience (how easily do they get angry?)
Albert is very patient and pretty understanding, he's an easygoing guy so it would genuinely take a lot for you to anger him. He's patient with others as well and doesn't immediately act out of anger.
Q: Quizzes (how much do they remember about their s/o? do they remember every detail, or do they forget everything?)
He'll remember random things about you but definitely not every detail, he'll of course remember your birthday and other important dates. But besides that it's a mix up.. like he'll remember your favorite color but sometimes forget your favorite kind of drink so he just buys one of everything if he can.
R: Romantic (how romantic are they? do they go all out for dates, or do they prefer staying home?)
He's not opposed to staying home for dates but when he wants to get to know you better he'd suggest going out to places. He'll absolutely try to go all out on dates however he's far from perfect, still he tries his absolute best for you.
He's romantic without realizing, and does it best when he isn't trying and simply speaking comfortably.
S: Security (how protective are they? how would they protect their s/o?)
He's very protective and thinks about your safety first and foremost. He'd take buildings and bullets for you if he needed to.
T: Try (how much effort would they put in? like dates and gifts?)
He'd put in so much effort it's astounding, he wants to go above and beyond for the one he loves and tries his very best to.
U: Ugly (what are some bad habits of theirs?)
He breaks things very easily without realizing. A habit that forced him to choose softness first because he just breaks and breaks. And some things he breaks he can't replace.
He gets a bit paranoid sometimes, and then feels the excessive need to call you like 10 times within the same hour.
He sometimes gets in this headspace that the people in his life think very little of him or that he's useless and then dwells in this belief without actually asking you or his loved ones. He has the bad habit of keeping bad thoughts and bottled emotions to himself.
V: Vanity (how concerned are they with their looks?)
He's a mix, on one hand he wants to look his very best and on one hand he doesn't want to go overboard.
W: Whole (would they feel incomplete without their s/o?)
Albert is one of the characters that I think would thrive in a relationship, he puts all his heart in it when he loves you, so without you he'd be beyond devastated. He'd definitely feel lost for a while.
X: Xtra (what’s a random hc for them?)
He's a karaoke CHAMPION
Y: Yuck (what are some things they wouldn’t like, in general?)
He despises bigotry in every form. He's also not a fan of very judgemental people.
Z: Zzz (do they snore? sleep talk? sleep walk?)
He's a light snorer but that's the extent of it, also has the tendency to try and seek out your body in his sleep.

Your breath in my heart
6x12 coda, 1,6 k words, read on AO3
Based on this post and this little insane acting choice Ryan made
Eddie watches Buck as he's sleeping on the couch
Honestly, Eddie isn't even that surprised about Buck showing up at his doorsteps. He told Maddie when she tried to figure out when Eddie could take up a shift during the project "Buck recovery 2.0". He said that Buck will clock what's going on within the first day and he told her that he wouldn't be joining in and rather let Buck decide who he wants to see and when. 
It's not like he isn't worried. On the contrary. He'd prefer to have Buck within a few feet of him at all times so that he just had to reach out to be able to feel Buck's pulse thrumming under his fingertips. 
But he also knows what it's like. Well, actually he doesn't. Because unlike Eddie, Buck really died. Buck was gone for several agonizing minutes. 
So no, he doesn't know what it's like to die. But he does know how it feels like to think that you're dying; to be convinced that the next breath you take will be your last. And he knows how it feels to meet death face to face, to feel its cold hands reaching for you and to feel them brush over your skin. He knows what things like that do to a person. And as much as he wants to be near him and make sure that he's ok and has everything he needs Eddie is well aware that Buck will need space. He'll need room to think and feel and figure out how to move on. 
Because distraction and talking and therapy, all things Buck has plenty of right now, only bring you so far. After that it's work; work you'll have to do yourself and within yourself. 
Maybe Buck needs to let himself break and Eddie will make sure that Buck knows it would be ok to do so. He'd give him the literal room for that in a heartbeat if he decided he wanted to beat up some furniture. But Buck isn't like Eddie. Buck turns on himself and not on other people or things. Still, Eddie would offer him a room where he could think and process and cry in as much as he wanted to. There is always room in Eddie's life to give to Buck, figuratively and literally; always. 
So yeah, he didn't take part in the whole babysitting thing and trusted Buck enough to know when it got too much for him and do something about it. Eddie didn't think Buck would straight up flee to his house but he's really not surprised that he did. 
He's also not surprised when he watches him flop down on the couch and make himself comfortable there with a few well practiced adjustments. It's far from the first time he's done that. And the couch that Margaret had picked out? Eddie's seen it, when he picked up Chris who had insisted on staying at Buck's for the afternoon so they could finish watching the documentary they'd started before that horrible night. Chris giggled and pointed over to it and gleefully announced, "Buck has a couch dad!" Eddie only raised his eyebrow and looked at Buck who was sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck, "My mom picked it out." It almost sounded like an excuse. So Eddie had walked over to look at it and…. Yeah that couch was not only way too small but also so not Buck's taste. It was way too…. neat? And didn't have any of the big soft cushions Buck loved to snuggle into.  No wonder he looked so relieved to be able to sink into the softness of Eddie's couch.
What does surprise him though is seeing Buck fast asleep only a few moments later when Eddie walks back into the room. 
Eddie just shrugs, clinks the bottles together and takes a sip of the beer. Then, instead of going back to the kitchen to leave Buck sleeping in peace, he finds himself leaning against the frame of the archway. And then he just stands there, sipping on his beer and looking at Buck. He watches as Buck's chest rises and falls in a steady but natural rhythm, all on its own and finds himself not willing to move; at least for a few more moments. 
There is a deep sense of content settling in his own chest which is surrounded by relief and a feeling of certainty. Relief that Buck is sleeping because he's exhausted and not because of an induced coma. And the certainty that he will wake up again;  that he will look at Eddie with these bright eyes and that his face will light up with genuine affection the next time he sees Christopher. So, Eddie keeps watching Buck sleeping on his couch.
It's funny, really, that he also didn't take his eyes off Buck in that moment when Eddie had thought he, himself, was living his last moments, lying on a street somewhere in LA in the middle of the day in a pool of his own blood. 
Then Buck had lived his own last moments, had come back from the dead and still hadn't been safe. And Eddie? This time, with the roles reversed, Eddie hadn't been able to look at Buck while he might've very well breathed his last breath at any moment while being stuck in a coma. And that's really not fair on Buck. 
Eddie had felt so many things the one time he had glimpsed at Buck from outside the room. And the mix of all his thoughts and emotions hadn't made any sense to him. He just knew that he didn't want this to be the last image he had of Buck in case he didn't make it back to them. 
And he had that irrational fear that if he'd look at Buck and talk to him, Buck might stop fighting, might take it as a permission to leave him. He doesn't know why he thought that. He knows Buck doesn't just give up. Or else he wouldn't be Buck. 
But he just couldn't do it. Couldn't look at him hooked up to several different machines working on keeping him alive. Eddie was too afraid Buck wouldn't wake up. He didn't trust himself not to fall apart looking at him while not knowing if he'd ever see that shining blue of his eyes again; if that brilliant smile would ever light his face up again. He would've broken had he witnessed Buck's last breath like this. And yet he would never have forgiven himself for not being there in his last moments. 
But Buck came back to him, to them. 
Buck came back and as if by a miracle he seemed to be in perfect physical health.
Now there Buck is, breathing on his own and finally resting. Albeit looking overall exhausted, he looks so peaceful in his sleep, it makes Eddie's heart ache. 
Eddie knows that Buck will be ok; that he'll get through this. But he sure as hell is not envying him. Working through these kinds of things can be daunting and frustrating and very exhausting. Buck is strong though. And Buck is surrounded by people who love him and who are willing to help. Eddie won't push him but he will also not allow Buck to run away from it. Because that's something Eddie knows all too well and it doesn't end well. 
He'll do what he does best and hold Buck accountable and call him out on his bullshit when it's needed. Eddie will give Buck the room he needs and have his back and be at his side through all of it because that's what they do. 
He knows that one day though he'll have to tell Buck; Eddie will have to talk about just why he can't take his eyes off Buck, why he couldn't look at him and watch him not being able to breathe on his own; why he almost crumbled in front of Chris and why he had to keep some distance after Buck woke up. 
He's not sure he'll be able to properly phrase any of it because he can't even say the words out loud in his own mind. But they will talk about this. When Buck is better, when he doesn't need all his energy focused on healing. 
When they talk in the kitchen an hour later and Eddie brings Buck to tell him how he's really doing, there is this moment where his breath catches in his throat after saying the words, "You died, Buck." For a heartbeat the horrors of that night and the following days come crashing down on him and he has to grip the jar in his hands a bit tighter. He knows, however, that it's not the time to give into these emotions, not when this is about Buck and supporting him and making sure that he'll understand that it will be difficult but that he can't do the same thing Eddie had done for so long and run away from it. So he reigns himself back in and keeps talking. 
He tries his best to be a safe a steady presence in the kitchen, an anchor point for Buck. He lets Buck choose the pace of their conversation. And even though he can see the tears in Buck's eyes, can feel him struggling, he's happy to be there with him and to be able to provide that space for Buck where he can start his journey on the hard road of healing. 
Later when Buck leaves, Eddie tells him, "You know there's always room for you here. You're welcome to sleep on my couch any time." Then he winks and says with a grin tugging on his lips, "You can move in and live on it, for all I care."
