Just doused myself in a lush bath bomb bath... Now I'm blue.

okay wait laughingstock concept Incoming: so im imagining some of the neighbors (maybe Julie & Frank) noticing that Barnaby & Howdy are a lil fruity, yk yk. and Julie's like damn, i guess we have to play matchmaker here.
so naturally they wind up getting the whole neighborhood involved. everybody's a wingman here. Poppy's dropping hints when Howdy drops off groceries, Wally is constantly asking Barnaby to go get him things from the bodega, etc etc. Howdy and Barnaby are facing this sudden change in town-wide behavior with slight concern and bemusement
eventually - lets say Julie, Sally, and Wally - get Barnaby into the bodega and then abruptly leave like "don't have too much fun without us you two *wink wink nudge nudge*". once they're gone (read: very obviously hiding outside & watching through the window) Barnaby & Howdy turn to each other like:
Barnaby: you think we should tell them we're already married?
Howdy: let them have their fun - they'll figure it out eventually

Tired Cyro Dads 5/8
One day Kaeya and Klee go into the Fortress with Wrio for a tour, and Kaeya nearly has a fucking stroke trying to keep Klee from accidentally blowing the place up.
He doesn’t know how Albedo does it half the time--sure he does live on Dragonspine so if Klee blows something up it’s not like there’s anyone around that would be hurt
…unless we count poor Mika who has to remake the maps anytime Klee’s explosions change the landscape
Kaeya may look calm and cool all of the time, but internally he’s freaking the fuck out. His blood pressure has never been higher and honestly, if there wasn’t a child around, he’d have a drink on him.
He feels trapped down there, and that’s on childhood trauma
Wrio is having a blast, pun fully intended, during the tour, making some dry jokes here and there about the structure integrity
“oh I heard it’s raining on the surface, now if we feel rain down here that’s not a good sign :)”
He definitely somehow drips water on Kaeya’s head after Klee bonks into something a little too hard and absolutely loses his shit when Kaeya screeches and jumps several feet in the air
Cue a confused Klee, who has no idea what’s going on, but Wrio says it’s okay and he’s the best! So she trusts it’s okay, she’s not sure why Kaeya is on the floor though…
It’s alright, she gives him Dodoco to hold onto for safe keeping, which does help ease his mind slightly
(mostly because he’s not entirely sure if Dodoco is a stuffed animal or a bomb….knowing Alice it could be either)
They both like to mess with people for shits and giggles. It helps the day go by, you know

Also on the subject of Valas and how other people (including other characters) misinterpret him, there's another layer to his interaction with Zaknafein that I find really amusing.
Because the entire thing is shown through Zak's perspective.
From Zak's end of things we see him repeatedly reference inside jokes between himself and Jarlaxle in relation to Arathis, all of which go over Valas' head because that's his grandfather, not *him*
So Valas just kinda awkwardly stands there in silence and just gives him confused looks as he keeps talking to himself about how 'one does not find a drow'
And Zak is interpreting it as evidence that Valas is a creepy weirdo just like his grandpa and just like... absolutely assuming the worst of him due to his social awkwardness.
But anyone who's read anything else with Valas in it (especially WotSQ or his cameo in Gauntlgrym) know that if it were told from Valas' perspective, he'd be like:
"Wow, Jarlaxle's bestie sure is a strange guy. Huh. Oh, well *shrug*"

while a lot of people find enclosed, confined spaces claustrophobic, byan actually finds they feel very safe and comforted in such places. maybe not for extended periods of time or anything, but when it comes to sleeping or taking a bit of time to calm down? they're perfect. especially on those days where they're experiencing hypervigilance, when there's something relieving about knowing that there's no one else with them and knowing that there's only one point of entry — if someone's going to attack them, they know where it'll be coming from.
it's not all that uncommon to find them napping in closets or, to a lesser extent, under beds, or even inside large cupboards if there's enough space. it's been a habit since they were a child, although they couldn't tell you exactly when it started.
