To me, I don’t think Buffy or the audience can ever truly know if she’s in love with angel or just in attachment with him. I believe she is just in attachment and especially before innocence and after his encounter with the first, just full on enmeshment with him. No boundaries whatsoever, his pain is her pain (which is extremely common in parentified children who feel they have to protect their parents from their pain like what buffy does with joyce), just like how she describes her feelings towards riley later which is NOT a good thing, empathy is good, taking on others pain as if it’s your own is extremely unhealthy. (Yes I’m pulling on my psych degree for a tumblr post, human behavior and buffy are two of my special interests)

What I mean by “in attachment” is that she has all of the same anxieties and insecurities about angel that she does with her father. Angel’s erratic and unpredictable behavior plays on her anxious avoidant attachment style SO AGGRESSIVELY. He keeps showing up, giving her little information at all and even less about himself and then vanishing leaving her hanging, and anxiously wondering about him which can mimic thinking you’re romantically interested when really it’s just an unresolved problem you desperately want to solve. She has a lot of valid criticisms about him before they’re officially together about his inconsistencies, him treating her like a child, him being too old for her and then all of a sudden she’s saying she wants to die when they kiss and that she loves him (after he forces her to say she loves him before he’ll tell the truth about drusilla). That is exactly how falling into attachment goes. Once you’re hooked all your feelings that are caused by a bad relationship with a parent are projected onto the partner who you are unknowingly recreating that dynamic with which is why such intense and strong feelings can happen so quickly and suddenly you’re ignoring all concerns you had before forming this attachment with someone.

He’s not her soulmate, he’s just the first guy to treat her like her father did and if you don’t address that cycle the relationship is recreating it can be impossible to move on because they will ALWAYS feel like something is unresolved and if you don’t know why you feel that way you can misinterpret it as true love or destiny because why all would you suffer so much and still love them if it wasn’t? It’s a mistake SO MANY of us make in our romantic relationships and these portrayals of unhealthy attachments being sold to us a soul mates doesn’t help us at all.

She does it with Riley also but she walls herself off so she doesn’t get AS attached to him as she did angel but their relationship is still her trying to fix the relationship with her father by changing herself so maybe this time he’ll stay. It’s why his opinion still matters so much to her when he comes back in season 6 despite him being a truly awful person to her who has done nothing but make mistakes and whose opinion should not matter to her at all after everything he put her through. He is another pseudo father figure she craves approval from.

It’s why I love her relationship with Spike so much despite all the bad they go through before season 7. We know her feelings are real because Spike doesn’t play on her anxious-avoidant attachment at all because he is ALWAYS there even when she’s mean and claims she doesn’t want him there. And to me everything they do to each other makes perfect sense, their relationship is exactly what two people with severe trauma and one with anxious-avoidant and one with just anxious-attachment going into a relationship together looks like. You hurt each other A LOT because you’re working out all your issues with each other and they don’t have ANY help from a therapist or someone who can help minimize the hurt so they both just use their worst coping mechanisms and the fact that they go through all that and still get to be together and happy and healthy on the other side is just everything to me because that so rarely happens in the real world, where you get to be with the person who was also a catalyst for healing and having to go through all that suffering together only to have to start over -hopefully from a much better place - but still with someone else BLOWS. So Spike and Buffy to me are about hope and healing (including the unpleasant and very ugly, dark parts of healing people rarely talk about) and getting to do each phase of that with someone AND enjoy being happy and whole together is just UGHHHH I love it so much.

nct 127 as cursed college profs

very partially based on stupid shit i've had the pleasure and misfortune of seeing in my own classes. happy finals season girlies </3 i rise from my casket of inactivity to bring you the shit post i wrote on the subway on the way to an exam. whose class do you think you'd survive?

cw: cynical college humour because i'm coping, adult humour

taeil: not even that old, but barely knows how to use technology. spends the first 15 minutes of lectures trying to figure out zoom, then the rest of the time poorly explaining quantum mechanics from a textbook written 20 years ago. trips down the stairs two days into the semester and goes on medical leave, only to be spotted on vacation a week later. no one even gives him shit for it.

johnny: originally the cool, chill prof who occasionally went out for drinks with his classes, until he realized he was cool and tried to get even more hip with the kids. now he uses bad memes in his slides and films tiktoks in his lab. the number of students who ask to get drinks with him significantly boosts his ego, but no one tells him they’re doing it just to cross “drinking with a prof” off the frosh bingo card.

taeyong: the sweetest, loveliest, kindest soul you will ever meet—except he’s only taught twice in his life, just got put in as a replacement for a prof who tripped down the stairs, and gives you the most god-awful final exam known to man. he’s also stressed out (on your behalf) at any given moment, to the point where he just passes everyone with an 80 and calls it a day.

yuta: the hip, fashionable prof who only serves looks and random commentaries on society in the middle of his lectures. undergrads fight to the death to join his research group, but the ones who make it eventually realize he spends most of his time partying with the department’s money. yet still, groundbreaking work comes out of his lab every year…

doyoung: retired from research a few years ago to teach full time, but not a single person knows why. he may offer the clearest, live-saving explanations in his lectures—but he constantly looks like he wants to go home and will decimate your entire existence with a single look if you ask anything about the syllabus two weeks into the semester.

jaehyun: the hot single prof. every single freshman girlie has a sickening, concerning, fanfic-esque crush on him. some go as far as nearly failing his class and then booking office hours with him before finals, only to find out that he’s been using Doyoung’s teaching material for years, without credit. he is very much horrendous at teaching on his own. and very much gay.

jungwoo: wanted to go into early childhood education, somehow got coerced into doing his masters, then his phd, then post doc, then— still fulfills his dreams by treating his students like kindergarteners. this includes gentle parenting of frat boys who won’t shut the fuck up during class, handing out healthy vegan treats, and encouraging “mindful moments” while you write the hardest exam he has ever administered.

mark: refuses to teach because he doesn’t think any of the kids will take him seriously, is forced to anyways by the department. as a prodigy so fucking removed from what it’s like to be stupid, he ends all his quantum lectures with “this is pretty straightforward,” and books it back to his lab on an electric skateboard. yes he built it himself. no he won't let you try and ride it.

haechan: shares an office with mark and spends most of his free time figuring out which organic compounds he can mix together to perfectly recreate the texture and smell of cum. if he doesn’t show up to class, it’s because he’s terrorizing pigeons on the street for science. shows gruesome videos of explosions and chemical fires for a chemical safety lecture. has had the fire alarm pulled on him at least twice.

#nct #nct 127 #nct texts #nct imagines #nct fanfic #nct scenarios #nct timestamps #nct blurbs #nct dream #taeil #johnny #taeyong #yuta #doyoung #jaehyun #jungwoo #mark #haechan #shitpost

~First Time Babysitter~

Summary: Its Lucifer's first time babysitting for both Charlie and Vaggie. he's a bit confused but does his best to help out.

Feel free to request any little Charlie or Little Vaggie idea's. I always appreciate getting asks and am overjoyed every time i get a notification in my inbox

Charlie and Vaggie were both having a rough day and decided to regress together. Husk was the only available to watch them so he had to babysit them. It was tough, especially because Charlie was being this hyperactive child. She kept trying to draw on the walls and run around. Husk knew he needed a drink. His raging alcoholism was a coping mechanism for him.

Vaggie was more on the shy side. She didn’t really trust him and was clingy to her demon plushy the whole time. He must’ve scared her. She needed a more kind, fatherly babysitter. Not him. So he defeatedly pulled out his phone and called Lucifer. Hwo did he get his number? Lucifer literally gave it out the last time her was there.

“Wassup, Husker Fuck,” Lucifer tried to sound like a fun dad with his very chill cool kid slang.

“Don’t call me that. Just- Come over to the hotel into Charlie and Vaggie’s room, It’ll be easier to just explain in person,” He pinched the bridge of his nose. Vaggie had started crying and he had no idea how to deal with it. He didn’t know what she needed, especially since she was mostly non-verbal. Sometimes she would speak a couple of words but that was it. it wasn't too loud but it was noticeable.

“Is- Is that vaggie crying-”

“Yes! Just come over, please,” Husk hung up the phone. Not even a minute passed before a puff of sparkly smoke formed and Lucifer appeared.

“Alright, Husker, what-” He cut himself off, staring at the situation in front of him. Everyone was in baby get-up. Vaggie was already crying but now she was wailing, clearly embarrassed. She hugged her demon plushy tightly and tried to hide behind it. Charlie was just happy to see her dad because she hugged his leg.

Husk caught Lucifer staring in confusion and realized that he didn’t know about his daughter’s coping mechanism.

“Okay, so, Vaggie and Charlie are both age regressors. Basically it just means they revert back to a mentally younger state. They had a rough day today so now they’re having a playdate. Can you please watch them? I aint cut out for this,” He told Lucifer. The king of hell nodded in understanding. He could see how this could help someone.

“Alright, I think I understand. They’re basically just babies right now?”

“Vaggie is feeling 2, but Charlie is feeling 3. I’m gonna go grab a drink, good luck,” He gave his warning before leaving the room.

Lucifer didn’t understand fully what this was and thought it looked a little weird at first but he really needed vaggie to stop wailing. He tried walking over to her but Charlie was attached to his leg. He dragged her over to vaggie and kneeled down in front of her. He just needed to treat her like the age she was feeling.

“Hey, M-Vaggie, its okay, you don’t gotta be embarrassed.” he sat down and put her in his lap. Charlie wanted attention but she was patient and silently waited for her turn.

Vaggie actually managed to calm down quickly with him. She didn’t know what it was or if it was just his personality, but she felt safer, and more comfortable with him. The meltdown she had earlier was due to anxiety about regressing around Husk but now she felt content.

“There you go, it’ll be alright,” he pet her hair.

Charlie was now started to get impatient because she threw her moth plushy at him, trying to get him to pay attention to her.

“Hey!” Lucifer warned.

“Wan attention too!” Charlie pouted angrily. Lucifer sighed.

“Alright, Come here, Duckling,” He told her. She scooted up to him and leaned against his chest from the side, just like Vaggie.

The two were cuddling him and did not want to get off of him. After a while, Lucifer’s legs were starting to fall asleep and he needed a break from cuddles for a sec.

“Alright, why don’t you two play with your toys?” he suggested.

“No, more cuddles,” Charlie mumbled.

“Come on, guys, my legs fell asleep,” He whined, hoping they would understand.

“Deal wif it, dada,” She told him. She always had sass when she was younger so it made sense that she had it when she was feeling younger

Finally, after what felt like forever, they both got uncomfortable with the leaning position they were in and went to go play with their toys. He was surprised they didn’t get bored faster.

Charlie and Vaggie were playing with their stuffed animals while Lucifer watched over them. With this new information, he had a lot to think on. Maybe he could finally be there for his daughter. He could take care of her again and be a better father than he was when she was physically younger. He smiled to himself, happily knowing he got his little girl back.

Mutant Mayhem hc time besties!!!!!! Mainly mutant fam hcs because they’re spinning in my brain

And obviously spoilers for the movie (which comes out tomorrow!!! I’ve held onto these for a whole three days since seeing the movie on Saturday!!!!)

Scumbug actually ends up becoming a confidant for Leo, and he learns how to talk to her, and Splinter just has to hold back happy tears

Just the boys in general getting taught by Scumbug and being so intent on learning how to talk to their new parental figure

Bebop and Rocksteady (ofc) help Raph to learn some… better coping mechanisms than fighting, and the three of them definitely have weekly meditation sessions with Splinter

GIANT FAMILY CUDDLE PILES

Mikey is SO tactile and loves physical affection and he absolutely climbs all over Rocksteady, who will remain as still as possible for his baby brother so NO ONE SPEAK TO HIM

Leatherhead definitely clicks with Raph. Idk why, I just think they click, they become really close!!!

And after April fully becomes integrated into the family… that’s their sister!!!! She gets included in the cuddles!!

Mondo and Mikey becoming twins is so important to me… they are so goofy and silly together

I think Donnie would REALLY get along with Wingnut, idk I think Wingnut has such strong big sister energy, and she’d be one of Donnie’s biggest cheerleaders (besides the other turtles) when he starts really getting into tech

There’s definitely a parent/teacher conference night, and Splinter shows up, because he wants to show his boys that he supports them, and the teachers are just in a puddle of emotions over how much he gushes over his sons, and how excited he is to learn how well they’re doing in school. He’s probably the proudest parent any of the teachers have met, and he quickly becomes a teacher favorite over how much he supports his kids.

I just think the entire school would see the brothers, know what they did for the city, and automatically just be ready to lay down their lives for the boys and their family.

Like, Raph has a wrestling meet, they go, and the family is just completely surrounded by people from the school who give death glares to anyone who even glances at them wrong.

This goes along with my 2012 “best kept secret in the city” hc, but as soon as it comes out that the boys are only 15, i fully believe the adults who were helping them immediately have a crisis, because those are literal children, and Leo, Raph, Donnie, and Mikey become unofficially adopted by every adult in New York City

I just hope you know that knowing my hc of NYC knowing about the turtles and keeping them a secret is now canon in Mutant Mayhem is making me THRIVE besties

#mutant mayhem spoilers #mutant mayhem #tmnt mutant mayhem #teenage mutant ninja turtles #edit: scumbug's pronouns have been confirmed as she/her

Recovering Together: Reader x Heartslabyal

The last two weeks had been rough to say the least. 8 hours days turned into 12, 16 and even more if you weren’t careful. It was draining; physically, emotionally, socially. You’re sure you would have Overblotted if magic was an option. It hurts more because it’s been so long without seeing your partner. Now, finally, you have a moment to breathe and they’re determined to show you how much they’ve missed you.

Small snippets of the boys taking care of you when it’s hard to take care of yourself.

Warnings: Trauma (Emotional), Physically Exhaustion, Self-Doubt, Implied Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms (Reader, Cater), Crying, Comfort, Intense Emotions, Talk of Puking, Overworked Reader, Eating Issues, Implied Negative Self Body Issues, Fighting (Deuce)

Riddle:

It takes longer than you’d like to admit to go see Riddle. He had been asking you to come visit and you’re paralyzed between hiding under a table and running into his arms.

You know that Riddle isn’t going to blame you; he’s half of the reason you had finally been released from your prison. You know your grades have slipped and your uniforms are wrinkled. You also know it’s not fair to put him into the ‘strictest person on earth’ box. He cares about you and that care is about every part of your life. The issue is that you’re tired and just want to relax.

You agree to come over and have a study date, even if the thought of looking at a textbook has you wanting to puke. You could tell he was upset you were avoiding him and you want to talk to him in person. It wasn’t fair to him to lie.

Riddle opened the door to his room before you finished knocking and you smiled. He was dressed more casually than normal, no jacket or bowtie but his shirt was still tucked in and buttoned up. You didn’t resist the urge to kiss his cheek as you walked in, taking in his room. It was perfectly tidy as always and you felt some of the tension leaving you.

“How are you?” Riddle asked and you turned to him, the smile on your face falling a little. His eyes were bright, happy to see you but the rest of his face was tight, like he thought you were going to strike him. You frowned, Riddle taking in the dark circles on your face and your lack of energy.

“I’m tired. I’m sorry Riddle, I didn’t mean to avoid you. I just, I…” You trailed off, giving a sigh before shaking your head. Communication is important and you’re not going to skip it, even if you really, really want to. “I’ve been exhausted lately and I know that I’m slipping. I don’t want you to think less of me so I was kind of avoiding you. I’m sorry.”

Riddle relaxed as you gave your explanation, giving a slow nod of his head. Lots of different emotions flickered over his face and you let him think, not wanting him to speak until he was ready. He gestured you over to your normal study table and you walked over, pausing when you saw what was on it.

Instead of the normal pile of books and paper, one of Heartslabyal’s teas sets has been laid out, a plate of sweets and finger sandwiches as well. A quick glance showed that there were no textbooks in sight and hope swelled in your chest. You startled as Riddle walked up behind you and began to help you out of your jacket.

“Thank you for being honest with me. I have noticed that your grades are starting to slip but that’s not because of you.” Riddle was calm as he moved to pull your chair out, giving you a gentle smile as you sat. “You’ve been working hard and I wanted to show my appreciation.”

“I didn’t know how to tell you that I just wanted to spend time with you and not study.” You were embarrassed to admit it, looking over Riddle’s shoulder. He surprised you by giving you a smirk and reaching out for you head. He raised it to his mouth and gave a gentle kiss, holding your gaze confidently.

“Just like that. I will let no one come between us.” You grinned back to him, face hot. You would trust him at his word; no one would get between you.

Trey:

The idea of eating sweets makes you sick. It’s a horrible place to be and with your sweet tooth, you’d never thought that you’d hit this point. It’s only after days of being offered sweets instead of payment and eating your feelings that you can 100% say you have no desire for anything with sugar.

You don’t have the heart to tell Try as you walk into Heartslabyal’s kitchen. He’s so focused on cooking he doesn’t hear you walk in. Your content to watch him and know that whatever he makes, you’ll eat. Eventually he turns around and gives you a gentle smile. You know he can see the exhaustion on your face but all he does is wave you over.

“Prefect timing, I just finished up.” You wince internally but walk over; you’ve missed Trey so much you can stomach any sweet for him.

“What is it?” You ask as he turns around to get a bowl. It’s only now, standing so close to the stove, that you realize you don’t smell sweetness. You smell something hearty and savory and your heart clenches.

“Pot roast.” There’s a half smirk on his face as he speaks and then sets a bowl in front of you. Your face lights up and he chuckles, sliding a spoon into your hand. “I can’t guarantee it’ll be good but I wanted you to have something home cooked.”

“Thank you Trey.” You ignore how close you sound to crying and take a bite. His hand on your shoulder is grounding and you lean into the closeness. It tastes perfect; the potatoes are soft and it’s warm and filling. The bite settles into your stomach like a weighted blanket.

“It’s delicious.” You say, smiling and leaning back to look at him, ignoring the tears running down your face. Trey makes a surprised sound and leans down to kiss your forehead, his voice soft.

“I’m glad. You deserve it.”

Cater:

Normally, it’s easy to figure out where your partner is. He’s a huge social media person and if you’re not in the photos, Cater is tagging you. It’s been hard to keep up with everything going on and you’re so busy trying to keep your head above water it takes a few days to realize you aren’t being tagged.

It hurts, even though logically you know Cater is trying to let you rest. The two of you still text constantly and he tells you all about his day. You’ve even done video calls way too late at night. It’s only Magicam that’s stopped.

Cater immediately proposed that the two of you get together after your horror weeks. He had never asked to hang out while you were busy and you did your best to push the ache down. He’s charming and bubbly as always when you finally see him, kissing your cheek as you walk into the rose garden.

Your bruised emotions are soothed when you see the tea party all laid out. Cater has a very keen aesthetic eye and you always feel special when he pulls out all the stops for you. It’s easy to fall into conversation and it’s one of the reasons the two of you get along so well. You don’t notice until it’s been over an hour but Cater hasn’t once reached for his phone. As happy as you are to have his full attention, it is a mystery.

“Aren’t you going to post this on Magicam?” Your question is innocent enough but Cater still freezes like you’ve caught him red handed.

“Ah, I should have known that you would notice out of everyone.” He laughs and scratches the back of his head, cheeks dusting pink. “I wanted it to be just us for a bit.” You smiled back at him, reaching out to squeeze his hand.

“I missed you.” You’re smiled turned a little wry as you looked him over. “You stopped tagging me so I thought something had happened.”

“I didn’t want to bother you!” Cater was quick to jump in. He reached for his phone and the paused, looking at you. “Do you want to see?”

“Of course!” Cater beamed at your words and you scooted your chair closer to his. “I feel like I’ve been living under a rock, catch me up on what’s been going on.” He doesn’t need any more encouragement than that. Cater quickly begins to recount the news you had been missing, everything from politics to brands, even some sports.

Your heart feels like it was going to beat out of your chest when you saw the folder marked with your name. He begins to flip through it, showing you everything he had saved specifically for you. You lean your head on his shoulder, happy to let him keep talking. Later, you would tell him that you would visit him every day if you could and it was worth it to see him at a loss words for once.

Ace:

Ace had been attached to your hip all day and there was no way you would complain. Technically you had to work tonight but the extra hours of sleep in the morning (yay more than four!) made you feel human enough to invite your partner over. He was knocking on the door before you were even ready, insisting that you stay in Ramshakle and have a day in. You were too tired to argue and snuggling sounded like a better idea then going out anyway.

He made a comment about how tied you looked but left it at that, very tame for how Ace usually was. He also came with snacks and treats, something you only realized after he got there. The days of work had made it difficult to find the time to go shopping.

Ace had strong armed you into letting him buy dinner, another surprise to add to the pile. He didn’t make a big deal about it but you had watched his eyes scan your empty cupboards as he said it. Now, warm and full of good food, you were chatting and trying your best to ignore work creeping back up.

“You ok?” You startled at Ace’s question, taking a moment to realize that he had stopped talking. You gave a sheepish smile, leaning into him.

“I’m ok, sorry for spacing out. So, what did you do when Grim set Deuce on fire?” He watched you for a moment and then smirked, leaning back with his usually swagger.

“Nothing of course! Those two can take care of themselves.” His face turned more impish as he kept going. “Jack had to dunk them in a fish tank and then Crewel found them. You should have seen his face.” Ace began to do a Crewel impression and honestly, it wasn’t half bas. You began to laugh, imagining Deuce and Grim dropped in the fish tank, poor Jack caught in the middle.

Ace watched you laugh, his face going soft was you giggled. He didn’t say anything as the laughter began to turn into tears. They started gradually, the hiccuping sobs replacing happy cries. He gave a sigh, shaking his head as you turned to him with wide and surprised eyes.

“Stupid.” He pulled you to his chest, letting you burying your face in his shirt. Ace’s tone was gentle and he began to rub your back. “You don’t have to push yourself for me. I’m here.”

His words opened the flood gates you didn’t realize were there. You clung to him and let it all out, Ace holding you close. It felt good and you couldn’t stop once you started. He made no move to stop you, vowing to support you in any way. Ace might not be the strongest or the smartest but he’s yours and he’s be damned if anyone could take that away from him.

Deuce:

It takes you longer than it should be recognize Deuce at your door, face bruised and flowers clutched in his hands. The flowers look like they’ve seen some shit but you take the bouquet as it’s practically shoved into your arms.

“Sorry if I woke you up, I didn’t remember when you said you’d be up.” He rambles as you let him inside, cheeks pink. Even though the two of you have been together for a bit, he insists on ‘taking care of you’. It’s too sweet for you to try and stop him.

“You did wake me up.” Your sleep deprived brain takes a moment to kick in and you wince as Deuce’s face falls. You’re quick to reassure him. “I’m glad you did though, I wanted to see you.”

“I wanted to see you too.” He gives you a bashful smile as he follows you into the kitchen. You begin the hunt for a vase and some snacks, wincing as most cabinets turn up empty. Eventually you find a box of stale cookies and a vase.

The two of you happily much in silence and you take in your partner again. He looks more than pleased with the cookies but it’s easy to see the cuts on his knuckles. You frown and gently reach out to look at his hands.

“Did you get into a fight?” Deuce freezes at your question, looking a mix of ashamed and determined. “What happened?”

“It was for a good reason!” Your raised eyebrows show you don’t really believe him and he keep going, face serious. “They were bad mouthing you.”

“Me?” You ask, surprised. Deuce nods, frowning as he recalls what happened.

“They said that you must be a bad partner because you’ve been so busy lately and you must not care because you weren’t trying to see me.” You wince and looked away. You for sure felt like a bad partner. It wasn’t up to you of course but being unavailable did make you feel horrible. You wanted to spend time with Deuce, you were just so exhausted and drained it was hard.

“What did you say?” You were dreading his answer but perked up when he scowled and slammed his fist into his palm.

“I told them to shut up their mouths! You’ve been working so hard and I really admire that. Who wouldn’t be proud of a partner like that!? I’m upset you’re forced into it but they shouldn’t act like you want it to be this way.” Deuce continued on his rant, the passion burning brightly in his eyes.

You couldn’t stop yourself from leaning across the table and kissing him on the lips. All the fight disappeared from him, leaving only the shy boy from before.

“Thank you Deuce, it means a lot.” His face was soft as he gazed back at you and squeezed your hands gently.

“Of course. I’ll always have your back.” You grin at his words, leaning over to give him another kiss. You would scold him about losing his temper and rushing into danger later.

Hi! I really love and appreciate your analyses work because I find it so rare to come across these days. Most content about TWST I found is either about in-game stuff or fics of various genres and AUs. It's refreshing in a way, and I just want to tell you that I absolutely adore your work.

I just read your analysis of Cater in canon and how romance comes into play, and I couldn't stop thinking about something when you mentioned how he lights up after taking pictures. Since Cater moves around a lot due to his father's work, I think the pictures immortalize whatever connections he had regardless of how long he got to stay in the area before he eventually moves away with his family.

Aside from Magicam and pictures being his coping mechanisms, it's what little Cater has to connections and relationships even if he distances himself due to his fear of rejection and of being forgotten. I only know bits and pieces of Cater in-game because I don't have many cards of him, but the little I do know of him made me think that he would take pictures to keep memories that would be forgotten once distance and time come to pass. He yearns for deep relationships similar to Riddle and Trey's friendship, but he's so afraid of what comes with such a sentiment that he would resort to pictures and a memorable, public image to keep everyone out of arms' reach.

Even if the people he was friends with (prior to moving away) forget him and move on with life, Cater would have his Magicam account and the pictures. He'd find solace in the memoirs he had taken himself, whether it was just a day inside the Heartslabyul dorm or something as grand as Beansfest. He also takes pictures of the latest trends such as the newest cafe or dessert in town, maybe even a once-in-a-lifetime traveling circus if that's a thing in TWST. Those trends are probably his gateways to finding people with similar interests (I'm using similar doubtfully because Cater does craft his personas so well that he might as well be a pseudo-INFJ) aside from meeting a Magicam influencer quota.

I believe Cater cherishes pictures this way aside from maintaining an image and switching personas in order to be liked and remembered—because those are the closest things that could resemble deep and close relationships to him without compromising his fear.

I may be wrong though, so feel free to correct me! I did say I don't have many cards of Cater so I'm not entirely sure if my speculation is justifiable or otherwise. I'm so sorry this ask became so long 😭 Cater is such an interesting character to analyze, and he's not even in my top 5 personal favorites. I hope you have a nice day!!

[Referencing this masterlist!]

Hello, I’m glad that you enjoy my works! ^^ I kind of do some of everything, but analyses are a big passion of mine. I’m happy that they’re being appreciated since they often take me a lot of time and effort to put together.

Ah, that must be in one of my older analyses, so it’s probably suuuuper outdated by now 😅 Mmmm, I do think it’s generally accepted that Cater desires deep and genuine connections like what Riddle and Trey have (but is too scared to open up to others). However, I don’t know if he actually places a ton of value in the pictures he takes. In my initial post, I meant to imply that Cater likes taking pictures because of the inherent clout that he can rake in from it, not that he necessarily attaches precious memories to those pictures.

Cater may use social media as a coping mechanism, but he also uses it to project what is knowingly a manufactured image of himself and his life out into the world. He takes so many pictures and posts so frequently (and not all of them are associated with doing things with friends; a lot of them appear to be selfies); it’s debatable whether it’s all just for show to feed the social media algorithm/his need for online validation or if he actually cherishes each and every photo (and thus the memories associated with them).

Social media is a means for him to find stability because the internet provides him with a way to keep in touch with everyone no matter where he physically is. However, social media also promotes an environment in which you’re encouraged to put your “best face” out there, to get the most attention and social approval (likes, shares, etc.). In heavily relying on social media for his socialization, it has probably fostered some of Cater’s currently observed insecurities (ie the fear of rejection or being seen as vulnerable if people learn about the not-so-perfect parts of him that he keeps off of Magicam—because what is social media if not a carefully curated photo album of all your “best” moments?).

How Cater engages with others online actually isn’t detailed often; whenever he mentions his socials, it’s almost always in the context of posting something or tagging someone. It sounds very “one way” and passive; Cater seems to be posting more than actually interacting with others or having extended dialogues. We see in his Robes vignettes that he likes comments, but the way he speaks about them makes it sound like he has to like back as an obligation to thank a particular user for the engagement. He confirms in his latest JP birthday interview that he’s always thinking of new places and things to post, but he doesn’t say his motivation is to make friends, he says it’s to get likes. Even when he’s by himself and doesn’t have to put on a show for anyone else (ie post-party in his Ceremonial Robes vignettes), Cater is concerned about getting likes. He presents his intentions as very shallow ones (whether you think he’s a reliable narrator or not is another question though 😂).

Cater also mentions using horoscopes as ice-breakers, which gives him a chance to show his social intelligence and skill at making people feel comfortable talking to him. I don’t think he’s really intending to find people with similar interests or actively going out of his way to try and make new friends; when Cater approaches someone, he usually wants something from them and he knows how to use his cheery and laidback demeanor to do it (ie he asks Malleus for a photo of him in Malleus’s PE Uniform vignettes, he gets cozy with Adeuce to get them to do his chores for him in the main story episode 1, he talks about using the freshmen for “good material” for his Magicam in his Robes vignettes, he consistently asks Vil to collab or take pics with him so he can get some of Vil’s clout, etc.). Cater uses his amicability to get others to lower their guards and play along with him. Then you have Trey, whom we know Cater likes and has said before that he wishes he had “someone like Trey” in his youth. It’s clear that Cater wants to be Trey’s friend, but this isn’t reflected in Cater’s behavior. He doesn’t go out of his way to try talking to Trey or inviting him to hang out; he seems to spend more time with his club friends Lilia and Kalim, but even then, they mostly get up to shallow activities like sitting around, eating snacks, and talking. Cater doesn’t push beyond that boundary, and the limitations of his own comfort. Likewise, we don’t really know of instances when he made efforts to befriend people online or via his socials.

Cater has a conversation specifically on the topic of memories, experiences, and departures in Silver’s Halloween vignettes. In it, Silver talks about how once he graduates, he won’t be able to visit his school friends like Kalim anymore and how that will make him feel lonely. Cater says that while he could worry that “I might not see you guys again someday”, he could also just as easily decide to have a good time with his friends while he still can. “That way, I’ll always have the memories”. Notice his use of “I” rather than “you”, referring to Silver. Cater may be speaking vaguely about his own experiences moving around and leaving friends behind. If we accept this interaction at face value, it does seem to imply that Cater puts value in making real connections and spending time with his loved ones, without necessarily having to immortalize the moment in a picture. It is the memories he cherishes—so while it can be said that he may place more value in pictures associated with certain happy moments, it’s also true that he's capable of just enjoying himself and appreciating what he has without commemorating the event with a photo.

dbksbskwwb Anyway, it’s hard to say for sure just how much Cater cares about those individual pictures just because 1) he’s an unreliable narrator, 2) you really wonder if he has more selfish reasons for acting as he does sometimes because he has demonstrated the capacity to manipulate others, and 3) his best memories don't always come with pictures. This doesn’t mean Cater is heartless or a bad person! I definitely think it’s possible he has some kind of attachment toward his pictures, since those are the closest approximation Cater has for the intimacy that he seeks without leaving him vulnerable to others. It’s just that I’m not sure if he places as much value in the pictures he takes as we may think he does. He has other motivations mixed in there, and it's possible to isolate Cater's feelings attached to happy memories from the pictures.

P.S. Just so you know, you don’t necessarily need Cater’s (or any character’s) cards to learn more about him; sometimes Cater lore is dropped in other peoples’ vignettes and event stories. Additionally, you can almost always find a source for his vignettes online by either Googling it or just accessing the unofficial Twisted Wonderland wiki.

hiii!!! do you think you could do a young wilbur soot x gn! reader where they’re 16/17 and the reader gets her drivers license finally but you and wilbur have been broken up for a year so you drive past his house? or base it off of olivia rodrigos drivers license song because i’m totally not going through that in my life rn 😅

I Know (We Weren't Perfect)

I hope you feel better 💕

In which- You've been broken up for a year, but you can't help but go back and find out the truth.

A/N: lol where I live, we don't get our licenses till we're 18 or smth like that. Imma try my hardest cause I haven't listened to Olivia Rodrigo's music in ages and I don't have my license so... Also, I'm so sorry this took so long. I have my motivation back now. I'm also really shit at endings and I am on the verge of genuinely crying so I had to try and make the ending happy for me, I'm sorry. I did try my hardest, but I don't want to cry.

Chapter info: bittersweet, poor Olivia Rodrigo recall, sad reader, sad everyone ig, driving, reminiscing, swearing, loud music, somewhat alright ending (I didn't cry WOOHOO)

Pronouns: None (You/Yours)

Based off of this song:

Masterlist:

---

You had always talked about this moment with him. You were both so excited for this moment. You had both talked about this since you were children, and how excited you both were.

But it didn't quite work out in your favours.

He had recently broken up with you. You weren't sure why. But it left you in shambles, your head screaming for an explanation. You genuinely loved him. So fucking much.

People you wish didn't find out, found out. And immediately spread rumours about why he broke up with you. He found another person who made him feel better, he didn't love you anymore, he hated you, he thought you were too much to deal with. You couldn't believe anything they were saying. You didn't believe anything. What blonde girl? Who is the blonde girl? Who are they talking about? What are they talking about?

You knew it wasn't the healthiest coping mechanism, and you knew it was hurting you more than helping, but you just couldn't help it. Driving through the suburbs was a struggle. Your mind kept drifting off and convincing you that you were driving home to him.

You didn't even know if he lived in the same city as you even more.

You still had his phone number, and you got confirmation from Tommy that his phone number was still the same. Time and time again, you tried your very hardest to contact him and ask about what happened, but you couldn't bring yourself to press the 'send' button.

Now, you finally have your drivers license, and oh my god, did it hurt. The minute you found out, you cried in happiness. "I HAVE MY DRIVERS LICENSE" you yelled over the phone to your friend. But little did they know, you curled up under the blankets each night and sobbed. Why was he gone? Why is he suddenly out of your life?

Is he alright? Does he still love me? Does he still know who I am? Does he think about me like I think about him?

These thoughts plagued your mind each night.

You can't even dare to drive past the coffee shop you visited every week, along the road next to the beach, near any of your mutual friends' houses, past your schools.

My goodness, you still love him, it hurts.

And no one understands.

Where is he now?

How is he?

Contacting Phil, your "father figure", your comfort now, you ask how Wilbur is, how he's doing, how he's holding up. If he still thinks of you.

And the answer you got back was certainly mixed.

The message read: (Don't worry, sweet. He is totally alright, he's doing well. I haven't heard anything different from him from when you both were together. And of course, he definitely still thinks of you. Would you like me to come over?)

And you replied: (Yes. Yes. Please. Come over.)

And now here Phil was. On your sofa, next to you, holding you close, letting you cry.

And the message entered your head again. And it all made sense.

Phil hasn't heard anything different. Wilbur used to ramble on and on and on about you to Phil. and nothing has changed. So of course he has to still talk about you. And he still thinks about you. So he is affected by it, but he may also be too scared to reach out to you.

"Phil" You said with a shaky voice.

"What's wrong, sweet?" He replied soothingly, almost entirely like Wilbur. He's learnt how to talk to you like a daughter, instead of a friend.

"Your message. You said you don't hear anything different, and he still thinks of me? But he used to ramble on about me all the time? So does he still do that?" You frantically asked.

He laughed a little, bringing down your hopes, and then he continued.

"Y/n. Of course he still thinks about you. Of course he still rambles about you. It's all positive I promise." And that's when you blurted your true question.

"Can you take me to him? Please? I need to see him." You pleaded, and Phil lead you out to his car, and off you went.

As soon as you got there, you raced up the front steps, and knocked slightly on the door, awaiting him. What you didn't expect was him on the phone, a can of some drink you didn't know, and a scruffed up house.

As he locked his focus on you, you noticed the weariness behind his eyes, the worry. His eyes widened, and he said goodbye to the person on the phone, and looked at you quizzically. Extending your arms sideways, like you always used to, he placed his hands on your forearms and pushed them back down to your sides.

Tears brimmed your eyes. Did he hate you? Did Phil lie? Does he not want you he-

You felt long, familiar arms wrap around you and lift you off the ground, spinning you around. You were glad he's alright and still thinks of you but you knew you couldn't just immediately go back to being attached at the hip. At the best for the moment, you could go back to being friends.

"I'm so fucking sorry. I was drunk and I didn't know what I was doing. And when I woke up at my house, I was so confused. Please forgive me, I feel so bad for leaving you. I've meant to contact you and apologise, but I couldn't. Please. I still think of you. Please?" He started with no tears, and ended in a sob.

You waved off Phil and walked in with Wilbur.

"Of course I forgive you. Why wouldn't I? I just wish one of us asked or reached out. I really want to go back to what we were, but we can stay as friends, or whatever you want, okay?" You comforted. Now you understand.

"Please. I am happy with going back to what we were. I would like to be friends first but if we can't wait, which I know for a fact is unbearable for both of us-" He laughed. What a joyous sound., "-we can go back."

And that's where the relationship began (for the second time)

---

Again, I do apologise for making it a happy ending. I didn't know which you wanted so I went with what felt fright for me. Hope you enjoyed it.

topher and confucius being besties in middle school makes me happy, but it also makes me sad because theyre not friends anymore in high school. its a shame because they seem to be good friends :(

If my math is right, then they both may have been in the seventh or eighth grade when the whole Christopher Columbus debacle was starting up and eventually spread all over the news and internet. So I’m thinking Topher pushed Confucius away not wanting to drag him down and “get cancelled” with him. They both were already pretty active on the internet but mostly for silly kid stuff like just watching or making cringey videos and watching anime. Again, just silly kid stuff. Nothing serious really. But quickly they both turned to it as an unhealthy coping mechanism— Confucius losing his closest friend, which would later push his other friends away and deepen his usage of the internet as a result. And Topher using the internet to escape the real world and the crap his clone father did, it providing a sense of comfort and control, until he turned into what he is now; a Reddit user 😱

Little details I like to think about is them meeting in the fifth grade and bonding over Warrior Cats and watching the same content creators on their iPad because of course they’re both iPad kids(just Topher’s was cracked worse than satan’s asscrack and Confucius had the newest model lol). They made a whole Warrior Cats oc clan with the most complicated name possible and before they broke up they were even making a whole ass animatic with their thinly veiled Mary Sue self insert ocs except neither of them could draw, especially not cats. Like the little comic I posted, they pretended they were anime characters fighting. Yes, they both were the two losers Naruto running during recess. Yes they went through a phase of saying sugoi and kawaii and other Japanese words in nearly every other sentence. They had sleepovers almost every week and would marathon movies like the Twilight Saga and other movies they really shouldn’t be watching at their age but do anyway because their foster moms weren’t exactly paying attention to what movies they were picking out every week. They were just the embodiment of carefree cringe. Living their best lives. Just a couple of stupid preteens dorks.

Now, in highschool, they tend to just purposefully avoid each other. Even though deep down both of them really do miss each other. It’s just Topher is too busy being kind of an asshole and stuck in this state of self loathing and other issues and being an actual social outcast of his own making, and Confucius is too stuck in his phone avoiding his feelings and also now that he’s got JFK as a friend who likes FlipFlop (because of him) as much as he does it’s only further distracted him from his unresolved feelings over Topher and the good times they had together. They both deeply, deeply regret not going back and talking and staying friends. Because in truth Confucius would have probably stayed through the whole ordeal. Although I can still see them both being chronically online. Just together. And most likely worse somehow? And very, very annoying.

Sorry for the rambling, I just have so much soft thoughts about these two being former friends and the potential of them making up is what fuels me. I wanna write a fic about this sooooooo bad but I’m so busy and by busy I mean I procrastinate too much AND I’m busy aihdjsh I may start one tho and it may eventually get finished???? Question mark, question mark?????????????

I’ve been talking to my sister about TedBecca. She doesn’t watch the show. Described the Red Thread of Fate to her (btw she said it’s obvious they’ll get together based on that alone). And you know what? She’s right.

Wait. Don’t throw stones at me just yet. I stand by the fact that it remains unlikely because they are really clever about it and avoid going there by basically making sure they never spend time together. Which is hilarious when you think about it. And by hilarious I mean infuriating because they are the ones who have established they’re essentially in each other’s bones and have been since birth. They keep reminding us of that, and of the fact that they keep missing each other (Rebecca searching for him when he has a panic attack, or her losing her phone just when he decides he’d like to hang out in a pointedly not professional setting). They are hell bent on keeping them apart. By all accounts, possibly forever. Not even for the sake of preserving a fabulous friendship because it’s objectively not there. They’re not in each other’s pocket in that way. They are not each other’s go to person in crisis.

Yet… When you lay out all the evidence, you would be hard pressed to argue with my sister’s logic. It’s utterly obvious that they belong together. Yes, romantically.

The man she is really into is effectively Ted coded. She meets him just when Ted was trying to reach her. That’s ridiculous. That’s on the nose, guys. It just is.

She eats his biscuits every single morning and she’s almost feral about it. They’ve yet to address that and we can’t just move past it.

They are going on the same journey, just not together. Recovering from their ex partners. Craving love and a stable, loving family. Both of them. That’s their wish fulfilment. That’s their happy end. Funny, that.

Ted is a mess and so is she. They’re both really kind and a bit mad and they instinctively know when the other is down and what to say or do to pull them back up. Instinctively. It speaks of something deep and visceral. Gut and heart. But also they never hang out. Or when they tried there was something in the way. Funny, that.

Granted they’re not in love with each other.

Instead, the writers have established the following:

What Rebecca seeks in a partner is someone who makes her feel special and cared for. Makes her laugh. Likes to sing and is unashamedly corny. Bonus points if they cook delicious food for her. Funny, that.

What Ted needs is a person who loves his sense of humour and is not just humouring him (lol). Someone who cares about and understands his profound relationship with his son. Who senses when he is struggling (handy because bottling stuff up is his coping mechanism of choice) and would know what to do when his anxiety gets the better of him. Funny, that.

Period.

#seriously though #you tell anyone about this and they would agree they’re endgame #im trying hard to not get excited over this but it really is driving me up the wall #why the need to show ted wanted to spend time with her #I read on an ant*tedbecca thread that it’s just friendship #except that’s not what they do. ever. that’s not them #it makes it peculiar and therefore note worthy #I need that next episode so bad #if only to drop ice water on my face because I’m on fire over here #too much to handle #tedbecca #ted x rebecca #ted lasso speculation #ted lasso spoilers

Hi hello me!!! I would like a headcanon please!! 🤲🥰

❤️❤️.

Chay does not like Khun or Kinn when he first meets them. it takes special circumstances for him to shake his first assessments of them to even give them a chance.

Khun’s the easy one—he and Chay match well in personality (the mutual sass when they introduce themselves my beloved!! 🥰) and while they don’t share the same interests, they have enough overlap they have a lot of fun hanging out together. But after their introduction, the parts of Khun that Chay sees are him trying to cope with the chaos Korn’s stirring and Khun’s coping mechanisms, dissociation, and distancing from the stress and triggers come off as very dismissive and even cruel. Chay doesn’t understand it, he doesn’t know Khun well enough to, and he doesn’t try to (why would he? this mafia family ruined his life)

In my mind, the changing point for their relationship comes after the finale gunfight—Porsche begs Chay to stay with Khun because they’re stretched thin and Khun’s spaces are the safest place for him right now. Chay hates it, but accepts it for Porsche, figuring he’ll just hide in a corner or something and ignore everyone.

But, at some vague point during all this, an alarm goes off. Turns out to be a false alarm, but before they figure that out, Chay watches Khun lock down his room, locate his brothers and Porsche, hunt down the problem, etc—basically Khun goes full protective mother bear in every way he can, and a few things start clicking for Chay. because he too is extremely protective of his loved ones but limited in what he can do, and it completely reframes his view of Khun and who he is.

Kinn and Chay’s relationship takes a lot more work.

The first problem is that they have a fundamental personality clash—Chay’s whole thing is that he draws a circle around the people he cares about and guards them jealously. He wants to share their burdens and make sure they’re happy. Chay would burn the world for the people in his circle, consequences be damned. And for a very, very long time, Porsche is the only person in that circle. Kim is the second. Chay hasn’t even considered adding anyone else yet.

Kinn also cares a lot about his people, but his whole thing is taking on all his people’s burdens. He gave up his dream to become the heir for Khun. Kim never would’ve been able to go to college and stay mostly out of mafia business the way he does without Khun and Kinn supporting him completely. Kinn plays his cards to protect other people (Porsche) more than himself and he’ll put himself in the line of fire to protect any of his guards. Kinn’s circle is huge, and quick to expand. Chay doesn’t get Kinn.

Plus, Chay’s upset and kinda jealous Kinn’s so important to Porsche. He hasn’t gotten the chance to deal with the fact that Porsche abandoned him for weeks to go take care of other people—he knows Porsche was coerced and he’s pissed about that too, but Porsche chose to lie—and now Porsche is confiding in Kinn the way he never did with him. Chay’s still pissed about everything in general. He wasn’t happy when Porsche asked if he could take care of him and Kinn, his face just screamed ‘he’s rich and has a whole building of guards, why do you have to take care of him’, but this was also the first time Porsche has ever asked him for anything and Chay will always compromise for the people in his drawn circle, so of course Chay said yes. But the mafia still ruined their lives, is continuing to ruin their lives, and Kinn is the face of said mafia. Entirely fair? No. He’s mostly pissed at Korn, and Kinn’s getting some of that anger just because he’s available whereas Chay doesn’t interact with Korn. But these sorts of feelings aren’t rational, and Chay’s too trapped in it all right now to get a chance to even safely think through and process how he really feels. So for now, Chay’s just scared and trapped and angry and hiding all of it under overt politeness and courtesy and running away from him as soon as he can make an excuse.

Now, I do actually think Kinn and Chay will become really good in-laws one day, I can see them getting on together spectacularly.

But not without getting rid of Korn first. Or at least some extenuating circumstances that give them a break from Korn’s shadow where they have a chance to have a good heart-to-heart. It’s actually one of my favorite scenarios to throw at them in fics in general, Chay’s straightforward approach to life plus Kinn’s caution and determination make for a wonderful combination in Getting Shit Done 🥰

anyways the tl;dr of this is the only Theerapanyakul Chay instantly gets on with is Kim, the others have a mountain to climb first

Send an ask, get a headcanon

#kinnporsche #i don’t think people acknowledge Chay’s anger in canon enough yknow?#he’s not explosively angry #he’s overly courteous and quintessentially 🙂#but he’s still angry #ask game: headcanon gacha

AITA for asking my friend to stop telling me about her partner because I’m secretly in love with her?

I (25X) have an unhealthy tendency to develop feelings for friends of mine that are in relationships. It’s a coping mechanism of sorts, since I can have the feelings without ever having the pressure to confess since they’re already in relationships, and I can just pretend they like me too.

Anyhow, a friend of mine (24F) I knew in highschool has been dating this guy (35M) since she turned 18, and I do not like him at all. I have voiced my complaints about him and the nature of their relationship and how they got together (both worked together part time from when she was 16, he was 27) and that I was concerned for her. We got into fights about it years ago (3 years ago iirc), only because of the age gap and because I disagree with some of the bf’s political stances, but they’ve been together for 6 years now.

Before she moved out of state, we reconnected and started talking a lot more, and have been for about 8 months. She’s been a lot more comfortable sharing some of the other stuff her bf has done. He’s manipulative and abusive in all sorts of ways (mostly verbal abuse and blackmail, ex: he’s sent her nudes to his friends before to humiliate her for not “behaving” properly), and she’s told me about how much she wishes she could leave him, and I mostly just offered support. But as we continued to talk, we both used each other for emotional support and started flirting a lot and talking about how much we meant to each other and I ended up catching feelings for her.

For a while it was fine, but then a few weeks ago she stopped talking about how much her bf sucked and was telling me about all the expensive things he buys her and trips he’s going to take her on and it’s pretty much all she talked about, and it just made me so uncomfortable. In the past when she did this I was uncomfortable because I disliked the guy, but now that I know more about him and I feel for her deeply it makes me so irrationally frustrated.

So this is where I might be the asshole. I told her I really didn’t want to hear about her bf unless she needed to vent about him. She went ballistic on me in DMs and lashed out about how she wants to be able to share the good moments of her life too, and that she’s proud of her bf for “changing his ways” and that he “hasn’t even been harmful for a few weeks”. I told her that I don’t trust him at all, that I don’t like him and I’ve never liked him and she accused me of not wanting good things for her. I told her it hurt me to see her so hurt when he’d lash out, and she told me that when you love someone you’re willing to see the good in them even when they’re bad.

Part of me feels like if I hadn’t had feelings for her I would have just let her ramble about her bf, because she’s right she does deserve to be happy. But I just hate him so much that I’m suspicious of anything good that comes out of him.

I’m 100% aware the boyfriend would be an asshole here and groomed her, but my question is more if I’m the asshole for what I said to my friend, like if I should have just sucked it up because she’s already having a hard time already or if I was okay to ask that.

What are these acronyms?

4. So for a future itmf: can I please, please, PLEASE get something where people are actually on wei wuxian's side? Please? I have read so many fics where wwx is blamed for EVERYTHING. Oh lwj had to mourn you. Oh you and lwj are getting married? Sorry but we're gonna be on lwj's side of the wedding party.

Read a fic recently where lsz told wwx "you're the one with the words aren't you?" And could only think to myself how unfair that is. Yes, wwx is the one who can talk more, and easier, but that shouldn't mean all communication in their relationship is on him.

Read another where wwx and lwj were getting married and literally every single junior was on lwj's side of the wedding party? And more or less said wwx wasn't good enough and had to prove that he might be one day?

Idk, sorry for the request turned rant 😂 I just keep finding fic like this and I'm TIRED and I just really need to read something that doesn't put all the weight of everything onto wwx alone and actually gives him people who genuinely care and are in his corner. Please I'm literally begging 😭🙏

try stiltonbasket's fics. as a whole, their works have wwx working through his trauma at his own pace and then living a happy life with unconditional love and support from lwj and his other loved ones through the entire process. very comforting.

most of apathyinreverie's fics very much carry this vibe

absolutely all the fics from Vrishchika. She is the best WWX writer hands down. She has the characterization perfect, and she knows WWX's value. - I would probably have others, but this is the first name I can think of.

Hauntcats also likes to surround wifi with loving support, as well as giving him his due as the genius and all round amazing human being he is

5. Hiii, lovely people! I hope y'all enjoying autumn in all its splendor if you're on the northern hemisphere (or lovely spring if you're not).

8. Hi! Can you recommend some fics where Wei wuxian doesn’t have a golden core but also doesn’t starting demonic cultivation?

10. Hi mods! You do awesome work! I’ve recently read “The Price of a Home” (and associated series) and “Hold You Like a Victory” and I was hoping you would know of any more fics that play with the concept of WWX being a whipping boy. This seems like something that easily fits into the canon Jiang family dynamic and there’s just so much potential for fleshing out this AU. I’m dying for more content with this premise.

14. I’m in the Mood For: Any fics where WWX submits to the Lans for cleansing in exchange for safety for the Wens. I read Decay by ante bunny and loved the premise, but wanted more focus on the consequences of the cleansing.

I love the theory that resentful energy can’t heal but can hold things in stasis, and thus WWX is literally being held together with resentful energy. Because otherwise how did he survive getting stabbed and dropped at great height and starving all without a golden core.

It seems like something WWX would do - allow his execution is exchange for the Wen safety. In fact, I guess I’m in the mood for any fics where cleansing WWX reveals injuries or WWX giving himself up in exchange for Wen safety?Thank you, mods! You are awesome! @philomathmac

Hi there, friend! I'd love to hear you ramble about two of my favorite Black Clover pairings Langris x Finesse and Finral x Vanessa, if you don't mind? Also, can I hear your Duck x Fakir from Princess Tutu opinions as well please? The awesome fanart you've been reblogging of them recently has given me life! Cheers!! 💖

Hi Acacia, thank you so much for the ask!! 💕 I’m having a horrifically busy semester, so I greatly appreciate the chance to sit down and talk about some of my favorite characters. This is SO EXCITING, prepare for a very lengthy post 😅

💛💙 Duck x Fakir (Starting with these two because they are my everything right now.)

My roommate convinced me to watch Princess Tutu a few weeks ago and I totally fell in love with it! The character arcs are so spectacular. I actually thought about asking you if you had seen it, as it seemed like something you might like based on the other shows you post about (But then I had already pitched it to everyone I knew irl so I figured I should just relax 😆).

But getting back to Duck and Fakir, I think they’re absolutely perfect for each other. Personally, it makes sense and compels me. I believe it’s canon that they have feelings for each other, or at least it’s strongly implied? Either way, Duck inspires Fakir and Fakir believes in Duck, which i think is so sweet, and I feel like Duck and Fakir bring out the best in each other. Also, the way they change together throughout the story is so beautiful! They both end up in way more mature and healthy places than when they started and were a big part of the other person’s growth. I think the best ships are the ones where the narrative weaves their stories together in that way.

This is just me ranting, but I need to mention how beautiful it is that Fakir loves Duck not as Princess Tutu, just as Duck. In Mytho’s case, he thought of Duck as a friend and he was very kind to her, but he didn’t love Duck, he loved princess Tutu. For Fakir to love the real her ties in SO WELL with how she grows from her insecurities and confusion about her identity. I could also scream for a very long time about the fact that Fakir would stay with her forever, even if she was only a duck. The love they have for each other is so mature, but also so sweet and innocent at the same time. They’re perfect!

That’s why the conclusion of their arc broke my heart so much, because they were perfect for each other and would have made each other so happy. It’s so bittersweet. I wouldn’t change it for anything, but I’m a sucker for the fics on ao3 where Fakir writes her back to being a girl. I can envision them having such a happy future together.

🩵🖤 Langris x Finesse

Im so excited to get the chance to talk about these two. They’re one of my all time favorite pairings and they’ve been on my mind recently! In my opinion, they make sense and are super compelling.

I sort of feel like at this point, I’ve thought about them so much that they’re more like my headcanon characters than a faithful representation of the actual characters in the show (I tend to do that lol😅). But even if I try my hardest to separate all of that from what is officially canon, I personally think that Langris and Finesse make more sense than Finesse and Finral. I could see those two being good together under different circumstances even if they aren’t my favorite ship, but I’m really not on board with the way the show is handling it. I’m not gonna open the can of worms that is Finral returning to his abusive household right now, but that is very unhealthy (and it seems like the show is encouraging it??) Even beyond that, I feel like Finral isn’t in the right headspace right now for a healthy relationship. He’s trying his best and I wholeheartedly believe that he cares about Finesse. But he’s been using romance and idealizing girls as a coping mechanism for a very long time, and from what we see on the show I feel like he’s romanticizing Finesse to a degree that wouldn’t be healthy in the long term. She’s his childhood crush and dream girl, and he feels like if he becomes “good enough” for her he can “win her heart.” I don’t know if I’m explaining this right at all, but in my opinion he’s not really treating her like a partner, as much he’s treating her like an ideal to someday be good enough to achieve, which is more tied in with his own self worth than actually seeing her and loving her for all she is. (Although I would totally see them together under different circumstances if he takes time to work on himself!)

Anyways getting back on track, we don’t see that kind of idealization with Langris. He seems to see her and what she wants more clearly, and loves her enough to accept that she is more interested in Finral and step aside. I feel like they so compatible as well, because neither of them are very passionate people like Finral or Vanessa are. I feel like they would have a beautiful, more subdued kind of love and would be able to fit neatly into each other’s lives.

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the time period before Langris was possessed when they were engaged. My heart always breaks when I think about the fact that Langris truly believed Finesse hated him. I think he always felt that she would rather marry Finral, and that he was never able to be really open with her because of this, and even that he resented her for it. I think it’s so compelling that all of this is essentially a misunderstanding, because Finesse does like him, and clearly cares about him and trusts him because even after he went crazy at the royal knights exam she tried to defend and protect him and wasn’t afraid of him (I love Finesse, she has such a beautiful heart). I think that after some character development on Langris’s end, they would be good for each other.

💚🩷 Finral x Vanessa

Vanessa and Finral my darlings!! They have such a sweet canon friendship and seem to support each other so well. For me they make sense and are compelling.

I love how on Vanessa’s end, she is gentle with him when he needs support, but she also isn’t afraid to speak her mind to him in the early seasons when he’s being a sleaze. She keeps him in line, both in the sense that she helps him be a better person and also that she pulls him back to reality when he’s spiraling and feeling insecure. And since I mentioned Finral’s idealization of girls before, I should say that I personally can’t see this happening with Vanessa because they’ve been friends for so long and have both seen each other at their worst. He knows her so well that he couldn’t idealize her if he tried. If he falls in love with her, it’s because he truly sees her and loves her for all her faults. I think they would work so well in a relationship together in a hypothetical future when Finral has decided that going back to House Vaude isn’t the right choice and has gotten over Finesse.

Also on the topic of the future, I see them being incredible parents. They are both passionate and caring people, and I believe they would fully devote themselves to not repeating their parent’s mistakes. It would need to be a slow burn and they would both be very cautious because they value their friendship so much. But I think they make so much sense together!

Thanks again for the ask, I had so much fun with this!!

I’m nervous because this is my first time doing a request, but I love your haikyuu dad series and I would like to ask if could you please write some angst about fem!reader having a miscarriage and then breaking up with character because the were in pain for their lost and relationship wasn’t working after that (doesn’t matter who was the one that decides to break up) and then two years later after not seeing each other she finds out that he’s a single father/ or married and then ending up together or as friends (in the case of him being a single father) I was thinking that for character it could be Atsumu or Osamu, Sakusa and Akashi (but you can pick any other characters that you feel more comfortable with if you wish)

I hope you can read this and like the idea, if you don’t feel comfortable writing this I understand so don’t feel pressured 🫶🏻 (Btw, I love absolutely everything you write and apologize if something it’s wrong with my grammar, English it’s not my first language and I’m still trying to learn without using a translator)

Hi hun!!! You did amazing for your first request and it was very easy to understand!!! I get it can be nerve wracking i still haven’t requested anything yet so😭I’m so glad you like them I try to keep them interesting!!I love all those characters you picked too!!(ps. I’ve never written miscarriage situations before so I don’t go into depth because I don’t want to be insensitive or wrong so if I’ve written anything wrong let me know and I can try and fix it!!)anywho tysm for requesting if anyone wants to see anything else pls let me know I love requests sm!!!

Part two!

Tw- miscarriage, crying, grief, toxic coping mechanisms, single parents, one night stands, breakdowns, jealousy(over someone being able to have children/provide boys with a family, infertility, cursing, absent mother, be very cautious if you’re sensitive to anything affiliated with miscarriages maybe even infant loss, idk let me know if I missed anything it’s very likely that I did but I reread to try and catch everything!!

I think I’m sick rn so I may have accidentally made them short!! Im sorry for that!!

Atsumu

When you’d met Atsumu it felt perfect, unfortunately a year later that came crashing back down onto the two of you.

You struggled with getting pregnant and it hurt, why couldn’t you do this? Than finally you’d been able to concive after why felt like forever a big wave of relief rushed over the two of you.

Unfortunately that happiness didn’t last for long, you’d lost the baby. Neither of you took it well, you had already planned out a nursery and ordered a few baby things and every time you saw them you wanted to break down, it wasn’t fair. What did you do wrong? You’d tried for so long, done nothing wrong, yet you still weren’t able to have your little baby, it wasn’t fair.

At some point it got to where you two didn’t really talk anymore, you were both grieving and it led to your breakup.

You felt it was best but looking back almost a year later it wasn’t. You see Atsumu sat in a cafe two tiny car seats placed in little high chairs in front of him.

He looks like he’d fit perfectly in a family, it looks like where he belongs and you weren’t able to provide that.

You see Atsumu’s eyes dart around the building, when he spots you it’s obvious, he gives you a soft smile, one after a year of healing you’re able to reciprocate it still deep down hurts, it’s a feeling you never want to experience again.

Before you know it you’re sat beside Atsumu listening to how he rattles on about his twins. You look over at the two little babies to see two sleeping babies, a boy and a girl, they look like they’re his whole world, and you wish you could have provided that.

“I assume you’re happy with your wife now” you’ve got a soft smile contradictory to the words that fall from your lips.

His brows furrow, “…y/n they’re from a one night stand…” you don’t know if that makes you feel better or worse.

Had he really not moved on?

He hadn’t Atsumu felt like shit after that one night stand, it felt wrong and he wanted to undo it immediately but now that he has his precious babies he wouldn’t un do it for the world and he’s just hoping he can get you back as well.

Osamu

It hurt, it felt like everything was resulting in an argument lately. Both of you were easily agitated after you’d lost the baby. It hurt both of you and you couldn’t grasp why it was happening and it just felt like you were running in circles constantly chasing the word why but always being just steps behind from understanding.

It resulted in a breakup. It hurt, you won’t lie.

You aren’t sure what compelled you to go into Onigiri miya, maybe it was the fact that you wanted to feel comforted after so much time maybe it was the fact that you weren’t really paying attention as you walked here, maybe it was everything built up onto each other.

When you walk into Onigiri miya you almost forget it’s been so long, long enough for him to have a set of three year old little girls sat on the cabinet, they look just like him when he was little and you can’t help but want to live on them.

You see Osamu’s bright smile when he looks at you face a bit, you look rough. You’re a wreck without him, you practically live in the food provided by your office cause you never really learned how to cook and you’ve got eye bags because Osamu was always the one to stop you from overworking yourself but now you throw yourself into work to hide from the grief of not only loosing your baby but your soulmate, maybe that’s why you’re so eager to go on that date Osamu offers after you learn he’s a single dad.

Sakusa

Neither of you handled it very well. It was an all around negative experience there was no growth from it, it left you as completely different people and it never really got easier you just got used to it and learned how to function while having all these emotions but the pain never lessened.

And eventually you both decided it was best to take a break. Of course when it resumed your ex-fiancé had the most precious little girl by his side.

She was only a month old, if that and she’d been the product of a one night stand.

Sakusa had always wanted a family, you couldn’t help but feel jealous of the woman who was able to provide him with one. She was able to have the most precious little girl and she didn’t even want her. Of course when Sakusa brought up the fact that he was now a single father, he feared that the love of his life would leave him now because of his daughter, but of course if that would have been your decision he wasn’t going to chose you over his baby.

And you don’t regret your decision to stay with Sakusa anyways, not when your first daughter sits in between you and your husband, you smile softly as your husband eases your baby into her arms she’s got the most precious look of wonder as she stares down at the little girl.

Akaashi

When it happened he felt the way your relationship began to be ripped apart. He initiated the breakup asking for a break to grieve.

That’s what happened, you both decided for the best to take a break. And a few career changes and years later you’ve met again.

You periodically kept in touch just about the holidays no major things.

You worked at a little daycare now so when you see him drop off the cutest little boy who nervously holds onto Akaashi’s hand you can’t help but let out a little awe.

It was what you wanted to have with him, what you prayed for every night that wouldn’t come no matter how hard you tried.

The sparks where still present with Keiji, almost everyday he’d come in to pick up his little boy and he’d make you giggle softly like you did in highschool and before you know it, he was asking if you’d give your relationship a go again.

Let me know if you guys want to see anything else because I really love requests!!
