...
#ugh. the fucking struggle of a thing i will not talk about. its just an off shoot of one of my many#obessive compulsive tendencies. it just makes me think of my dad. like hes also a fucking anxious person but hes like. i have the thoughts#but then i dont let them control me so its not an issue. and he knos i get caught up on the structure and identification of problems so#hes always like. its only an issue if its like ruining ur life. and hes right and i definitely meet the standards of both of those things#bc im fucking thinking abt these things constantly. its in my head literally all the time. every second of the day#and i mean i guess this specific thing isnt ruining my life but it certainly isnt helpful and in combo with everything else my quality of#life is not what it could b. idk it just feels all empty which is y i became a fucking workaholic#bc i just get so fucking bored stuck in these stupid patterns that at least i can make myseld useful as i drive myself nuts#it also doesnt help that im still trying to unfuck my leg and not being very successful bc theres this fucking voice in my head like#keep moving. u cant sit down. walk around. dont stop. dont stop. dont stop. i can feel the muscles getting irritated again#its unbearable bc it doesn't really even hurt. i just kno im fucking it up for myself and i have all this excess energy that i cant get rid#of bc i cant run. anyway its just irritating#i probably triggered myself by watching the bear all day lol. its so good but it reminds me of working in a shitty banquet hall when my#brain was on fire. and theyve got that toxic workahoism that i so desperately cling to. and in a weird way i can relate tho their fucked#up mom when everyones just trying to help but shes so fixated on this thing that's clearly causing her distress but shes just screaming at#them. like i mean i have insight into my issues and i try not to let them affect anyone but me but its so hard when its like. i have to do#this thing. i have to do it. i kno its bad. i kno its fucked up but shut the fuck up and let me do this. u dont fucking understand#but i wouldn't say that bc i kno its irrational. ugh. i also have to go to a lab dinner tomorrow. maybe#no time has been listed so idk. its for my leaving so im technically the focus. hate that for me. whatever. itll b fine#at least the place is within walking distance and its like less than 3 weeks until i leave#unrelated

Mike schmidt as your boyfriend hcs ꩜
Pairing: mike schmidt x fem! Reader
Contents: slight angst if u squint, Fnaf mention, Reader and mike are sooo cute hehe
.❀。• *₊°。 ❀°。 .❀。• *₊°。 ❀°。
-You and Mike met in 1983 when you were 15. Mike was smart in the things you werent, So you two made a deal that you could copy off of him . One day when you were walking down the halls you saw the meanest boy in school Trying to bully mike and it pissed you off.
-You pulled the boy off of mike and punched him with no hesitation, Mike was so sure there were hearts in his vision. You were brave and fearless, But you were also gentle and caring when you offered help if he was hurt, He wasnt but He had never wished he was more than on that day.
-Thats when you two started becoming close. At first it was small talk or friendly banter but it slowly turned into never being seen anywhere without each other.
- One lucky day in december of senior year he decided to tell you how he felt in the garden you had showed him. Mike was never romantic, He didnt know what to do or say, So he did whatever guys did in the movies he’d seen. He handpicked you some beautiful pink flowers and wrote you a cute but short letter and handed it to you.
-You accepted his feelings and looked at those puppy dog eyes that crinkled as he smiled.
-Mike is very loyal. He has your initial around his neck and he talks about you almost all the time. (Abby tells you all about it) He has even gotten into a few fights for you, He always defends you even if you aren’t there.
-As mike got older, He starting learning the old way of love. He opens all doors for you, The occasional flowers and cute poems he writes for you, the sidewalk rule, He really knows how to treat his lady.
-Mikes Love Language is definitely quality time. Youre the love of his life and he wants to be with you always! There are alot of times where mike doesnt know what to say or show you how much he loves you. But you know he does by the way he follows and takes you everywhere. How he offers to spend time with you when he gets off of that strange nighshift where he works, Even if it means he gets no sleep.
-Mike is a family man. He loves his little sister and you love her too. You and Abby have a bond that was fun and ‘girly’, in mikes words. (Mike wears bracelets you and abby make for him) When Mike opened up to you about his brother and his parents one day, You just put your head on his shoulder, letting him talk and not mentioning how his voice would wobble and crack every once an awhile.
-Mike struggles with his emotions and mental health. When he feels like its getting bad, He tends to distance himself but you reassure him you are there for him no matter what. You hold mike whether hes crying or not and whisper sweet words into his short curly hair.
-Mike is very jealous and protective. He tries to not to show it but its obvious. His arm slinged over your shoulder everywhere, Making sure everyone knew you were his. Even when you talked to people, He subconsciously glared at the people taking your attention away from him. Mike eyes, that could be so welcoming, were cold.
-Mike loves the date nights you plan for the two of you. Whether it was going out or staying in, He loves being in your presence.
-Mikes favorite part of everyday is at night when you two would cuddle while talking about your future together. He wants to spend the rest of his life with you and hes thrilled someone like you wants that with him too.
A/N!!!: happy halloween!! What are u guys going as? Me and my bf are going as mavis and johnny :3
Hope you enjoyed!

When they have a crush on you
«─────────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ───────────»
▸ Characters; Law, Kidd, Luffy
▸ Warnings; GN reader
▸ a/n; my first OP work !!!! im still trying to grasp how to write for them but !!! i hope you all enjoy :] (psst- requests are open!)
«─────────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ───────────»
-> LAW
▸ Law refuses to show any emotional vulnerability. So when he realizes that YOU are the one making his emotions go absolutely haywire- its not a good scene.
▸ He cares about you so much. He doesnt form attachments easily, so when he does prepare for him to never let go.
▸ He starts to avoid you. Like, you cannot find him on the polar tang type of avoiding. He's afraid to put you in serious danger, he's wanted by the world covernment, has billions of beri on his head- he couldn't stand to put you in more danger.
▸ Law SAYS he is perfectly content with holding these feelings in until he dies. He is lying. At some point his frustration comes to a head and he just , corners you in the sub after not speaking to you for THREE WEEKS and word vomits all his emotions out while looking like a tomato.
▸ If you accept law is . surprisingly elated. This commitment doesn't feel heavy or scary like he imagined. He's not the biggest fan of PDA but he ABSOLUTELY links pinkies with you when walking around. (bepo, shaichi, and penguin are yall's biggest fans ever. they SO hide in the bushes during the first date and get discovered 😭)
▸ If you reject law .. he'll retreat back into his shell. He was open with you, and now he probably wont be. ever again. Really awkward interactions ensue.
-> KIDD
▸ He's so oblivious to his own emotions !!!!!! He's so mean to you all the time but he's killing anyone who lays a hand on you. He feels nauseous and feverish and embarrassed whenever he's around you but he's anxious and jittery when you're NOT around!
▸ He gets sooo jealous too. you could be like, sitting next to someone and he'll be breaking a tankard in his fist 😭.
▸ HE TRIES SO HARD TO IMPRESS YOU!!! He's smashing someone's face in extra flashily when you look his way. Carrying super heavy objects when youre in his vicinity. showing you all his latest inventions. He's almost like a really aggressive, abrasive puppy waiting on you to praise him.
▸ He probably blurts out all of his feelings when you sit just a little too close after one too many beers. He's raging at you for "making my head all spinny" and "making me feel like im gonna vomit glitter" while Heat and Wire are cackling in the background. Killer has his head in his hands while Kidd continues his drunken rant.
▸ If you somehow manage to wrangle him back to the ship and accept his confession, you will have a clingy, kissy kidd to deal with. He will not let you go. Your post-confession gift is a cranky, hungover kidd.
▸ If you reject him ... Kidd practically explodes. Not at you, but everyone who pisses him off is getting chewed out 10x as bad. He's hurt, and he needs time to tend his wounds. Your friendship will never be the same, but he won't make your life a living hell.
-> LUFFY
▸ Luffy is straightforward, honest, and determined. If he likes you, he'll say it loud and clear. He doesn't exactly know the line between romantic and platonic feelings, so it'll take someone like robin or sanji to clear that up for him.
▸ He is also very physically affectionate. Where you go, luffy goes. You have to practically beg to go to the bathroom alone. Skinny, Tall, Short, Chubby; luffy loves it all! He gomu-gomu no cuddles you constantly.
▸ He doesn't really get jealous. He trusts you! And he knows youre great, so obviously everyone would want to spend time with you! Just make sure he's in your top priorities.
▸ Luffy's confession is in everything he does. He never steals from your plate unless he's given permission, always makes sure you get the best cuts of meat / best quality veggies. He may just suddenly hold you and kiss you if hes in the mood. Luffy is probably on the aro/ace spectrum, so your relationship may be on the platonic spectrum some days + the romantic spectrum some days.
▸ If you turn down all of Luffy's advances, hes naturally a little let down. He won't stop caring about you, but he'll attempt (key word; attempt) to give you space and not be so affectionate. (how could you possibly turn this boy down >:[)

Hello there.
Since you're taking a request, then maybe some poły relationship with Theo and Mattheo. Preferably male lub gn reader
Thanks and have a good day
aaaaaa a non-monogamous relationship with my two favorite boyos??? abso-fuckin-lutely!!!
polyamorous theodore nott & mattheo riddle x gn!reader headcanons
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(lovely pictures from @demieyesore)
since it wasn’t specified if the boyos were dating each other as well or not, i made it ✨up to reader interpretation✨
❕gender-neutral reader❕
TWs: violence (it’s theo & mattheo, what do you expect?), brief sexual harassment/attempted sexual assault (?)
requests open (please for the love of god)
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
general headcanons:
mattheo is little spoon and i will take no arguments
(he’s almost always in the middle <3)
if you call theo literally any pet name he will die on the spot
same if you call mattheo any variation of ‘pretty boy’ or ‘cutie’
(extra bonus points if you compliment something unrelated to his physical appearance, like how well he did on a test, or how perceptive he is. homeboy will have no idea how to respond. he’ll just be like 🧍‍♂️🥹👍🫶)
the poly thing actually only happened because there was a very aggressive love triangle thing going on and then they were like “wait this is dumb”
plus, it makes a bunch of the teachers uncomfy, + both of their fathers, so really it’s ideal
they r possessive as F U C K
they can share with each other, that’s it. no one else.
i dare anyone to try to bully or harass you
or actually, even just look at you
OR IF SOMEBODY TRIES TO ASK YOU OUT
someone call an ambulance for the poor fuck 💥🚑🚨🩹🪦💀
lil oneshot thing? idk man:
you go to one of enzo’s stupid parties without your boys
“i’ll be fine guys, promise”
y/n was, in fact, Not Fine™
someone tries to hit on you but just DOESNT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER
let's say it’s cormac mclaggen cause mf is creepy asf
(i know everyone makes him like ‘the bad guy’ but yk what if you don’t like it go write ur own headcanons. they’d probably be better anyways)
anywhore, cormac is like, getting a lil too close for comfort
just kind of haranguing you the whole night
offering drinks, complimenting how you’re dressed, telling you that your boyfriends are “so lucky to have someone as sexy as you”
🤮🤮
you are OBVIOUSLY uncomfortable
but shit hits the fan when he grabs your waist/hip area and tries to kiss you
✨surprise!✨
your mancandy was here the whole time 😌
(not cause they don’t trust you, they just don’t trust anybody else)
💥👊😡🩸🩹🔪🗡️💣
cormac: 🥊🦷😵‍💫🩸🩹🩼☠️⚰️🪦
(lowkey hot to watch em defend you but yk)
((y/n for literally no reason: 👁️🫦👁️)
(((if you tell mattheo you think it’s hot, he’ll just go 🥺🫶💋😚🫂)))
misc:
expounding further on my earlier mattheo x reader headcanons, a scientific study i’ve conducted has found that mattheo riddle is, in fact, a himbo
from the new partridge dictionary of slang and unconventional english, a himbo is “a man objectified by his good looks and presumed lack of intellectual qualities, a man who trades on this image, a gigolo”
objectified by his good looks? have you met tumblr? ✅
lack of intellectual qualities? well, he thinks violence solves everything and thinks with his dick instead of his brain so i’m gonna say yeah ✅
but let’s keep it going, shall we?
a himbo is also defined as the “human version of a golden retriever—beautiful, incredibly well-intentioned, and dumb.”
…yep
beautiful ✅ well-intentioned (in his own mind) ✅ & dumb (lovingly) ✅
additionally: buff 💪 ✅ & respects his romantic partner(s) ✅
“but hp-hcs,” you bemoan. “what does that make theo?”
well, my dear delusionists, theodore nott is a hunk—not quite a himbo, but close
hopefully this venn diagram i made of some of the himbos & himbo-adjacents in the hp world will help illustrate this for you

FATUI CAT :D
I am here to deliver on my promise of cat!reader headcannons, under the cut cuz its long
Tw: none i think??? If there is then pls tell me
Relationships: Platonic harbingers / reader
—-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pierro
Scary
Just say away if you dont particularly like him
He probably wont mind, he’s too busy to care about a cat of all things.
But like if you do like him, i recommend snoozing in his lap.
He’s got a lot of paperwork to do so its unlikely that he moves around a lot.
Its giving villain in a turning chair menacingly stroking a cat while giving an order to a nervous henchmen to inconvenience the heroes. 
You could try yelling at him and only quieting down when he pets you or lets you onto is lap
But, depending on his mood, he might just kick you out of his office
Would assign some poor Fatui henchman to take care of you so you have a constant guardian even if the other harbingers arent there. 
Dottore
Again
Scary
If you, as a cat, show human-like intelligence dottore will certainly pick up on it
Personally, as someone who likes cats and science, I would hang out with him
But like bad vibes
The worst vibes imaginable from this man.
Dont touch the chemicals he has.
We dont know what it is but just to be safe, assume all of them are acid.
Columbina
I love her sm 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Gives the most satisfying scritches and sings the sweetest songs
She’s one of the most safest harbingers to nap around
She’d put clips and bows in your fur regardless of gender.
Spends like 5 hours singing and grooming you like she doesnt have work to do.
No one has the guts to interrupt her though.
Capitano
Even though he’s scary i have a hc he’s nicer than he looks.
He isnt around Zapolyarny palace very often bc he’s out doing military campaigns and what not
But when he is at the palace, its safe to hang out with him
He’d have no issue with you catching a ride on his shoulders.
I also like to think he has a pyro vision(if he has one) and so he’s warmer than most
Perfect for a cat in snezhnaya. 
I think he’s nicer than he looks and it would be funny for the tiny cat to run straight to the big scary harbinger for pets and cuddles.
Pulcinella 
Its grandpa time babey
He gives you only the highest quality cat food.
You spend the day with him and you leave with 5 extra pounds just from the amount of treats he gives you.
You dont even have to do tricks or anything he just rewards you for existing.
He’d give you a kitty version of the harbinger coats, sponsored by Pantalone. 
Scaramouche
Oh this is fun
You know how cats are just assholes sometimes and like do things specifically to piss you off
Yeah do that
Swipe at his hat tassles
Get on a cabinet and yell, mocking him for being so tiny
Rest assured that he will torment you in return
Like i love scaramouche so much, he’s my baby, id adopt him a million times over if i could
But i can only restrain the bastard instinct for so long
He told the fatui in charge of you to make sure you leave him alone and is so close to killing him when you inevitably waltz around the corner.
Sandrone
You’re not allowed in her workshop
No ifs ands or buts
Her robots are to delicate to risk getting knocked over by a cat
If you’re really insistent on watching her then she might allow you to watch from the door
But thats it
Outside of the workshop though, she wouldnt mind letting you in her lap while she is carried around by her robot. 
Just dont jump off without letting her know before hand
You might get crushed by the robot
If you manage to make her like you and look sad enough, she might make a robotic toy for you.
Maybe a robot cat friend or a mouse for you to chase.
It keeps you occupied and lets Sandrone make another robot, win-win!
Signora
She does seem a bit cold at first
Feels like the type to not like animals bc of how messy they are, etc.
But she will warm up to you quicker than say Pierro or Sandrone.
Another source of heat in this frigid country.
She sends one of those fire moths to go with you and it is very much appreciated.
Girls night with Her and Columbina hanging out and taking care of you ^-^
Pantalone
As mentioned in the original post, i think Pantalone likes cats
He’d spoil you so bad lmao
Doesnt matter if you’re mean or nice or apathetic
He has a corner in his office dedicated to you.
Its got a box of toys, the softest bed money can buy, the most elaborate cat tree imaginable like wtf man, one of them self cleaning litter boxes, a water fountain, and an automatic feeder.
The feeder is on a schedule but that doesnt really matter because Pantalone will give you treats anyways.
He even gives you your own allowance from the fatui treasury.
He gives you one of those cat collars with the little bell.
Arlecchino 
You could hint to her that you want to go to the orphanage.
Everytime someone mentions it, give a little chirp and stare at her intently.
She’ll probably get the idea and set aside a week or so for you go to the orphanage to play with the kids.
They’re all very gentle with you and like to call you a mini snow leopard.
Arlecchino thinks its kinda cute but she wont say it.
Tartaglia
The bastard instinct returns
I like to think that he isnt present when the other harbingers found cat!reader
Imagine he arrives heavily wounded and is confined to bed rest 
And like, when the doctor gives the go ahead for guests, cat!reader jumps onto the bed and starts purring up a storm
Cats purr to comfort others as well as to show happiness
Childe’s barely conscious but the fluffy thing is comfy and he cant move so might as well let it stay.
When he does wake up he’s more than a little surprised to find a cat in his bed
You have a collar so he assumes you already belong to someone, pets you and then lets you out of the room while he goes over to see what the other harbingers are doing.
Khdsgoiewjrlksjf might try making this a longer fic if i have the skills but anyways-
Very nice to you
A bit rough on the playing but hey, it helps hone your hunting skills
Not that you need to hunt, you get fed regularly and i doubt there’s much mice in Zapolyarny palace. 
—-------------------------------------------------------------------------
And thats all i got. If yall want, feel free to expand on the concept or send some asks for more specific interactions! This is the first time ive done anything like this so i hope its good enough.

GALE SFW HEADCANONS:
finally we got our lover boy here. its not a secret that he like gets super easily attached. i kind of hate that they patched that out bcz it fit his character so much. but yeah in my mind its canon he gets attached suppperrr easily also kind of the type of guy to love bomb tav. not in the manipulative way tho like he genuinely thinks hes in love.
he gives everything he has in relationships too like tav IS his everything. he can be pretty clingy but thats just cuz he loves them so much ❤️ ok yandere vibes hold on. not really but imagine.
the type of dude to draw pictures of him and tav holding hands in his diary (they are not drawn good) also definitely talks to himself a lot, or maybe to his cat (sometimes abt tav)
hands down the funniest mf at camp like hes the type thats just naturally funny he doesnt even try to be. its hard to take him serious sometimes bcz of it😭😭 he gets mad af about it too. like his funnyness is a blight on his existence he just wants to be taken seriously. also feel like he has the worst luck too like fucked up things always happen to him and thats also hilarious LMAO constantly has the camp in stitches
he has bad spatial awareness so hes always triggering traps and tav gets so mad 😹😹😹
love language:
giving= words of affirmation and quality time
always wants to be with tav. also loves to compliment them but he does it in his corny ass wizard way lol like in the most extra way possible. he cant just say "ur eyes look beautiful today" hes got to say some shit like "ur viewing orbs are looking most ravishing this eventide". i bet he would write poetry abt tav but he wouldnt give it to them bcz hes lowkey embarrassed 😔 like insecure in his ability not embarrassed by the action itself. he just wants to do tav justice and he doesnt think he can.
receiving= quality time
as long as tav wants to be with him too hes happy. he worries abt being too clingy so sometimes he'll distance himself and if tav closes that distance on their own itll make him so happy. like thats the best thing ever to him. to have somebody that wants to be in his presence and listen to him ramble.
i feel like gale is similar in height to astarion so like 5'11/6' hes probably closer to 5'11. like that is the most gale height to me. also hes a little thicker with some muscle. hes def got a lil belly 🤭❤️ his pecs are rlly smthng too like thats where most of his muscle goes. those look heavy let me carry them for u king 🤲🏻😼
GALE NSFW HEADCANONS:
A FREAKKKKKK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS MAN IS A FREAK. WHAT was that shit in the sky ?????? THE FUCK ??? like he is THE MOST kinky mf here he will do almost anything. ONLY with ppl hes comfortable with tho. otherwise hes vanilla af. i honestly feel like hes mostly submissive tho just cuz hes chill like that. equally gives and receives. like straight up tav is his BABY he will do ANYTHING for them. probably introduced to most of his kinks thru tav (and mystra....... unfortunately.....)
loves to give head. like dear god. will beg tav to let him for real. hes very good at it too
incorporates sooo much magic. will make fake!gale fuck tav so he can watch. will use hot and cold magic and all that. electricity. the thunder stuff or whatever its called. literally anything u can think of to spice it up. he has thought of it. will also do freaky shit like using magic to mess with tav in public if u know what i mean
doesnt have a high body count i lowkey feel like mystra was his first. and he hasnt smashed anybody since. until tav.
exhibitionist AND humiliation kink. so these work hand in hand bcz like i said he doesnt do kinky shit with ppl hes not comfortable with so doing it where strangers might see is ultimate humiliation for him. but also likes to humiliate tav with it too.
will say a lot of nasty shit. this i feel he doesnt go super overboard with but its nasty compared to how he usually is. mostly when hes begging.
im gonna say gale has a solid 5 on him. and hes got hair i feel like most of the companions do but it works rlly good on gale lol. like hes got a happy trail and everything 🤤 nice hairy armpits too so u know hes got that manly ass MUSKK 💦💦💦 anyway i think his pp is pretty straight. like a wand lol. its a pretty normal pp.
aftercare with gale is the best yo like he makes sure tav is taken care of first and then cleans up on his own unless tav offers which he usually tells them to rest lol. hes just so sweet.

hello!! oka u have to hear me out!! so reader (preferably fem but if not is fine!!) is a demon so they know muzan, and at one point muzan is in his female form and reader doesnt know its muzun so they start flirting with him (and muzan kinda likes it ngl) but then at one point muzan kinda tells us the truth, i would like to see how that goes!!
(Omg you scared me bc when you said “U have to hear me out” I was like oh god what is it but then I read the whole ask and everything was okay. Anyways, thank you for requesting and I hope you enjoy!)
Deceiving Disguise 
Muzan Kibutsuji x FEM! Demon! Reader
(Warning: Somewhat bad flirting)
Tumblr media
You were walking around at midnight in a somewhat busy town. The lights hanging around town were bright and colorful it was so pretty. Your demon form looked mostly human besides from your eyes and claws but you wore gloves and sunglasses so humans didn’t notice a thing.
You been in this town many times before so you knew where everything was. You knew where all the tastiest food shops were, all the high quality shops, you knew everything. You would always come here at night and wander around whenever you weren’t hunting for somebody to eat.
Nobody in this town has ever caught your eye, well it’s not like you were looking to date anyone.
That was until you saw her.
“Who is that gorgeous woman over there? Surely I would’ve noticed such beauty sooner. Could it be that she was new around town?” You think to yourself.
“I’m gonna go talk to her.” You say to yourself, trying to encourage yourself to talk to this mysterious woman.
You walk up behind her, throat tensing up a bit due to the nervousness, and gently tapped her shoulder. She turned around giving you a small smile, you could tell on her face that she was wondering why you tapped her shoulder.
“Uhh I- sorry to bother you but are you new around here? I’m usually here all the time and I would’ve definitely remembered a beauty like you.” You said, hopelessly trying to flirt.
“I’m flattered that you think my disguise is beautiful.”
Your heart immediately dropped to your stomach, “Holy shit it’s Lord Muzan.” You think to yourself, heart pounding as you try and desperately think of what to say next.
Being able to read your thoughts, Muzan spoke up, “Don’t worry dear, I liked it.” He says as he places his hand on your cheek caressing it slightly.
To stunned to speak, you froze there. Muzan chuckled a bit and turned away, leaving you shocked at what just happened.

if dabi doesnt necessarily care about the abuse or even endeavor being a bad person then would he be a simply selfish and empty character with no "redeeming qualities"? i guess it is interesting that view but it also makes it kinda hard to care about his character
He actually does care about the abuse. I remember I think, @ seabhactine on twitter once mentioning that phrase "bullying wasn't enough" was mistranslated, I think, and it more referred to the actual abuse, so that one panel with Dabi's reaction to the News Conference was more him laughing that the "exposure of the abuse wasn't enough to tank his dad's career". BUT He's also mentally unwell and has the emotional range of a cup filled with oil and vinegar. In that in some ways his feelings/thoughts are dissonant or even opposing, as so often happens in the damaged and traumatized brains of abuse survivors.
Tumblr media
That's why he goes on Shouto as if he's jealous and pissed off that the physical abuse didn't result in a "better legacy/produced someone half-baked". Intellectually you can know something is wrong but your feelings can also conflict. He knows there was abuse, knows it was wrong, but also literally cannot feel bad for Shouto for going through it. I know I say this about Hawks all the time when you try to make sense of him, but it applies to Dabi - "crazy" is not just a random adjective. Trauma of the sort deeply abused children go to actually shows up as brain damage. You have to read Dabi with the understanding that he's not going to be "rational" and cohesive.
Lastly, redeeming qualities as a term is very subjective. It's very much based on what someone likes. And Dabi being messed up, conflicting in his own ideals/wants/beliefs does not make him empty, but actually makes him a very compelling, richly characterized sort of character. It makes him interesting which should be the only redeeming quality a character ought to have (my opinion).

LOVE LANGUAGES: request: love languages of Yangyang and Chenle
ACTS OF SERVICE: Chenle
I dont think Chenle is going to be very vocal about his feelings for you but instead he'll show it in little acts of service. You craved some fruits once in your relationship? Now your house is always stocked up with your favourite fruits.
You're too tired from work? He'll be at your house even before you reach and brings your favourite takeout so you can eat with him and go to sleep.
If you're arguing he won't apologise but would still do small things to show he cares. If he's drinking water and you're next to him, he'd not look your way and hand you the bottle so you can drink too. You are dozing off watching youtube, he'd snatch your phone, put it on charge and tuck you in the blanket before he grumbles how annoying you are and pecks your forehead.
GIFT GIVING: CHENLE, Yangyang
We all knew Chenle would be here. I've written more about Gift Giving on my 'NCT Dream as bfs who give their gf princess treatment fic' (hehe promo)
I'll say it again tho. He's the type to make you kiss all over his face before handing you his card and telling you to go all out.
He'd spoil you with expensive gifts even if you tell him not too.
Everyone has a hyperfixation, whether you hoard electronics, plushies, stickers, toys, stationery or whatever- hes supportive, buys you any new product in the market he thinks you'll find cool. Also the type to secretly keep track of your amazon wishlist, to buy you the things you like.
Yangyang will be more on the handmade gifts or small gifts type. Like things that aren't fancy but significant.
Like earrings/rings/jewellery you eyed in the mall when you were walking together. Guess what he's giving you on your anniversary.
A book your friend recommended to you which you asked to borrow when theyre done, he'll get it for you. Will also read your annotations and smile to himself, glad he gets to read the books that have a hint of you in it.
Another one to support your hyperfixations. He finds them cute.
PHYSICAL TOUCH: Yangyang, Chenle?
I have a feeling Yangyang is the clingy annoying types. Like y'all hang out together a lot in silence but after a while he'll get bored and decide to annoy you. Especially if you're the type to like your personal space, guess what- he also likes your personal space, he'll be all up in it.
Will sit on you, bite your cheek randomly, lick you for no reason (ew), tug your hair to annoy you, tickle you etc. His way of showing you love
Chenle at first will be a bit distant but slowly and gradually as he gets more comfortable he's going to get so clingy. But he'll be moody about it. He always wants to share a blanket, he'd share a pillow with you if you'd let him but as soon as you start to wake him up or try to pull the blanket to yourself at night when he steals it HE'LL GLARE AT YOU SO BAD. He's scary. The next morning apologises for being mean if you're sulking about it. Allows you to get a separate blanket for yourself so he doesnt repeat this. (He can't control it he was sleepy :/ )
QUALITY TIME: YANGYANG, Chenle
They both love to spend time with you. They find it very intimate when you are comfortable with eachother enough to sit in silence without feeling the need to talk. They LOVE when you're alone together spending time and you can tell what the other wants by their eyes alone. I'll elaborate;
If you're having a fight with your friend on text and you sigh and keep your phone down, they'll already leave everything they have and open their arms to you so you can bury your face in their chest and just relax. They'll hold you and stroke your hair. Only when you look up and smile at them softly they'll let you go and then ask you to talk about it. Cute.
WORDS OF AFFIRMATION: I'M SORRY NONE. a little Yangyang tho once hes comfortable with you. He'll say constant i love yous, tell you you're pretty, stuff like that. I cant see them saying much cheesy stuff so I'll keep this short.

i’m going to have to be honest, i don’t think today’s episode was very good.
of course, there were bits i loved as is with every malevolent episode, like jarthur saying each other’s names like that and arthur styling his hair after clark gable and john remembering, john literally acting like trying to kill oscar was nbd :), it was all very endearing.
but man. some of the other stuff threw me off so bad. there were NO STAKES, any sense of urgency created was immediately destroyed by jarthur literally talking their feelings out. one second is literally jumping on walls like a rabid dog, the next he’s calmly communicating with john and then he’s acting superior and calling him a child.
like, we’ve seen what triggers arthur’s erratic behaviour (usually a distinct lack of john) and how he acts when he’s like that, and sorry but just don’t think this was a case of that.
furthermore, arthur calling john was weird. not in the oh no! is john is canonically a child so you cant ship him with anyone because fuck that, that was not the implication, but in the sense that i think it was incredibly ooc of arthur to say that. like, he recognised that yellow was Like That because he was awful to him, not because he was a child. so why is he saying this to john? he says john can’t handle his emotions, which yeah because he can only talk to you which john makes very clear. arthur says its unfair for john to expect that he never speak to anyone again, but that’s not even what john asked. he doesnt want to be ignored and rather be included, which is a totally reasonable thing to ask for! he even says to arthur when he’s going off the rails that he’s used to being ignored by arthur by now and i don’t think this is another manipulation tactic.
seems like both of them forgot the main goal of the show: separating john from arthur without the king taking him back.
the friendship breakup with oscar at the end was ridiculously tacked on and in my opinion shouldve been the beginning of the next episode. but no, obviously that couldn’t have been done since the next episode is the season finale.
which brings me to my next qualm: this is a terrible penultimate episode. penultimate episodes are supposed to raise the stakes higher than theyve been the whole season so the finale is literally unhinged. and malevolent has been excellent at doing that (see: part 27 the roots). But all this episode does is nullify the stakes, we’re not looking forward to anything next episode. John and arthur are in their healing era (there was no divorce this season let’s be real), theyve left oscar, the stone is gone, the butcher is in police custody and daniel is fine.
so how is the season supposed to end with them (presumably) in the dark world? around a year ago, harlan said dark world arc soon. when is soon.
the lack of stakes in s4 has been a persistent problem for me i think, most conflict has been resolved either within the episode or soon after, especially jarthur relationship problems, which are like the core of the show
don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying i dislike s4, i love it, especially the first half, i think part 31 is the best malevolent episode to date. it’s just that with how well written it’s been, i was taken aback by this one just being…. ok?
i think that because every malevolent episode is such a banger, this one kind of being all over the place, especially with arthur’s characterisation, is kinda disappointing? ofc, ik basically all of harlan’s fam and himself were sick during november + they had a whole baby, so i’m hoping the shift in quality was a circumstancial thing.

Hey! Can you do cute domestic headcanons with Kurapika and a female reader? 🥹 if ya feel like it <3
Tumblr media
THANK YOU SO MUCH ANON THIS IS MY FIRST EVER REQUEST!!
(i wrote this three times and it crashed and deleted let’s try this again🧍‍♀️)
ENJOY!!
lets say this is during a time where he isn’t actively hunting the phantom troupe
also we’re going with where you guys are moved into a apartment together
for your safety he has security measures installed and teaches you how to fight if you don’t know how
if you do, great!! you two train together
especially if you know nen
that aside
kurapika’s love languages are:
acts of service
for this really he’s just a super helpful and motherly partner
feeling sluggish? give him your to do list he’ll do it all
feeling unwell? he’ll nurse you back to health
need to get this done but too busy? he’s got it
truly a caring lover
for quality time
he likes reading, shopping, cooking, cleaning, going on walks and cuddling with you
anything with you really
it is quality time after all
i feel he would also have a little bit of words of affirmation/praise in there
more so to you
”wow your so analytical and intelligent”
”your such a cheerful person, spreading happiness wherever you go”
”your so persistent towards your dreams….how admirable!”
or if you have impressive hobbies/talents or skills
”this only took you ____to learn?? your a genius y/n!”
”wow your self taught? your a natural!”
for your physical appearance he compliments your clothes and hair more than anything
not because he doesn’t love your beautiful eyes or sunny smile
but for example, when he saw melody, he didn’t see her as ugly or pretty
he just didn’t know she was a woman 😭
see what i mean? he just sees his girlfriend in a beautiful dress.
in his mind it’s less superficial
hope that makes sense
”you look stunning!”
“you did something new with your hair, i like it :)”
”is that dress new? it suits you y/n”
if you compliment him back he’ll be bashful about it
as for cooking
if your the better cook you make breakfast/dinner and he makes lunch
and vice versa
being the better cook comes with lots of praise 💖
he’s willing to learn more and is open to criticism if that’s the case
but if not abs he’s more skilled in this aspect he’ll teach you and give you tips
with cuddling you had to initiate it first
you came up to him while he was reading a book on the bed and snuggled up to him, laying your head in his chest and getting under the covers as he wrapped an arm around you, continuing to read
it gave him butterflies
he definitely likes to cuddle more often after that
sometimes even initiating it himself
he came up to you while you were watching tv on the couch and put his head on your lap/shoulder and you started to play with his hair
he also likes headpats
he gives you one and if you return the favor it makes him very happy ☀︎
bath time!!💗
he would be very nervous and shy about bathing together at first and makes sure your comfortable 1000 times
he doesn’t peak at you or look down
such a gentleman 🦋
if you want to add bath bombs or bubbles that’s fine by him as long as it’s noting messy
he’ll scrub your scalp and places that are hard for you to reach
would appreciate the same but doesn’t know how to ask
he does eventually after bathing together a couple times
“um..y/n? there’s this spot i can’t reach…could you get it for me?”
if you like to do makeup he would find it amusing to watch
ask to put some on him and you’ll be met with a polite refusal
although, ask for him to put it on you and he won’t decline
doesnt know much
knows a few basic things but gets some mixed up—it doesn’t look terrible tho
the result actually isn’t bad
eventually you meet his friends
killua isn’t all that interested in you, yourself- more so what type of person caught kurapika’s eye
unless you prove yourself to be cool right off the bat (liking chocolate robots or skateboarding)
leorio a simp 🧍‍♀️
may or may not “playfully” flirty with you. he cuts it out when kurapika straightens him out tho
he wouldn’t accept your offer even if you did flirt back- he’s too loyal to his buddy :)
gon is curious and the most interested in you
asks you all sorts of questions 😭💖
gon and killua can be a handful so i hope your patient, or at least not a hot headed person.
if they give you a headache kurapika sets them straight
he apologizes for the inconvenience in your own home
also gon and killua eat a lot-
but it’s fine because you send them grocery shopping which gives you some peace and quiet
that is until they come back with chocolate robots and snacks for dinner
so you and kurapika end up going shopping yourselves—leaving leorio in charge
which leads me to my next topic- shopping!!
kurapika is a responsible shopper, he stays on budget and doesn’t get distracted from the list
if you can do the same? great!!
if not you get stuck on cart duty
your job is to make sure no one steals the cart, put the items in the cart and..!
SCAN THE ITEMS!!🤩
if you want to ride in the cart he wouldn’t mind but would find it childish and a bit embarrassing
don’t forget you left leorio in charge..and gon and killua did NOT listen to him…😭
your house is a mess- they jumped on your bed, had a pillow fight, ate whatever snacks were left and went through all your stuff
“uhh- whoops!”
I REALLY HOPE U ENJOYED THESE ANON IT TOOK SO LONG TO GET OUT-
MY APOLOGIES FOR THE WAIT THANK YOU FOR BEING PATIENT AND MY FIRST REQUEST!! ♡♡

is it ok for u to do eren or armin with number 34?? i love ur headcannons sm they’re so accurate 💗😭
I love u so much thank youu😭😭😭 and ofc!!! I’ll do both bc I have nothing else to do rn
34. dating them
More headcanons/masterlist
Eren - In the beginning he’s just very charming but the whole thing is like u fell first but he fell harder, he’d slowly get obsessed (but its mutual anyway) he started to fall even harder when he saw u getting along w his family and his mum loving u just made him love u more😭 hes just a silly family guy 🤷‍♀️
He defo asks everyone and their mothers for advice on what gifts to get u and what he should do for anything bc he thinks he’ll fuck things up but he still lowk ignores the advice he asks for and goes w his gut💀 his guts acc never wrong tho he usually makes the right decisions
U guys have a great relationship overall tho he likes couple pics and does post u but u guys arent like LOUD abt ur relationship u both just post a normal amount with each other but not necessarily abt them like u dont make i love my bf posts but u do post like out with the bf etc etc ao people know and ur couples pics are GOOD asl (bc hes a picky shit who wants them to look perfect) and u guys are very quality time people,, hes not that clingy in public but when ur alone its like a flip switches and he becomes a baby with separation anxiety😭 like he’ll follow u around everywhere even if ur just getting a snack or making a drink
Armin - He’s obv shy and he has a hard time saying what he fr wants and eren gives him unsolicited advice😭 armin still follows it tho but its just funny bc erens half pissing around giving him outlandish advice like the ‘girls ALWAYS like this or this and this’ but u can always tell armin has good intentions so its cute
he gets annoyed when u make fun of him when he tries be affectionate he denies it but he goes RED and his gifts are always super thoughtful and sentimental,, he’s a normal amound of affection like he likes holding ur hand in public and arms around ur shoulder is all standard but he only gets more clingy when hes tired☹️☹️☹️
hes defo the type to not want u to get out of bed and trap u inside and hes very acts of service he defo remembers ur drink order from the shop and makes u breakfast etc he can cook very well imo🤷‍♀️ but hes always insecure for some reason like he keeps on feeding u while he cooks asking what U think the dish needs as if he doesnt know any better😭 anyway bc u like his cooking the dinner dates r usually at home which he surprises u with☹️
U guys get very giggly when ur doing smt together like if hes trying to explain smt to u and u dont get it idk how to word it like u guys match each others energy u have a cute banter with mini inside jokes like IDK armins just such a loverboy i love bf!armin😭
Hes super like huffy when u tease him for shit like ‘awwww u wanna watch a movie with me’ he gets pissed and muttery like ‘i just thought it’d be cute if we did but if u dont want to then ig not’ while turning away and u’d both just be giggly bc u both cant keep up a bit
Hes also the type to come home w like a ‘just bc’ gift like ‘I thought this bracelet would look good on u’ or ‘a random guy on the street was selling flowers i felt bad so i bought some😭’
Sorry my armin ones got so long i realised ive never gone into depth abt him but I LOVE IT SM lmk if u guys want some more bf!armin headcanons lolol
My requests r open for anything u can ask me any specific headcanons for eren or armin or any character aswell!! Tysm for reading 🫶🫶

BABE WAKE UP NEW ✨️BAD FIC IDEA✨️ JUST DROPPED
Tumblr media
Fic idea i might ACTUALLY be able to do, even though its probably super generic and has already been done 20 different ways before
Text under cut because the img quality is kind of shit for some reason
Anyway this is one of my less unhinged fic ideas (its probably too generic tbh) so let me know if this is any good/ if you'd read it/ thoughts/suggestions
Text because the img quality is bad lol
Fic idea for an hcom/ love/enemy triangle
narumitsu/kirinaru
similar idea to other fic but different and less fluff more drama. in the aj era.
Since its canon (i think??) phoenix refused to get any help from edgeworth when he got disbarred, i wanna expand on that idea in a relationship/love triangle way.
When phoenix gets disbarred he's intially offered support from edgeworth (even though he's still in europe) but he denies it out of pride. Even though phoenix says he doesnt need help, edgeworth has a feeling he's lying to get him to leave phoenix alone and decides to preemptively go back and see him in person. In a plot-twist-twist, phoenix is tipped off to edgeworth's suprise visit, and leaves the office before he gets there (still out of pride and believing somehow if edgeworth saw him he'd hate him for some reason) and somehow ends up staying with kristoph. Edgeworth finds the office empty and since he's persistent (in a yaoi way) he continues to look for phoenix.
Meanwhile phoenix is hiding from him at kris's house and they sort of have a thing but its kind of like a toxic old man yaoi type thing (they are terrible for each other). Kristoph is really nice to phoenix but really he's just manipulating him
and eventually Edgeworth finds out where phoenix is and goes there knowing it's kristoph but never having seen him in person before and when he gets there kris refuses to let him in like "yea no he's mine now he doesnt want to see you" with a smug little bitch attitude and while edgeworth gets the vibe he's totally lying, he's still hurt at the thought of it. He tells phoenix about it and tries to gaslight him into thinking he actually hates edgeworth (for real) and that he is WAY better for phoenix anyway. Edgeworth keeps thinking maybe phoenix really DOES hate him and that maybe he should move on since phoenix has seemingly moved on already.
Little do they both know theyre both completely incorrect about eachothers' assumptions because phoenix thinks edgeworth is chasing him to humiliate him and edgeworth thinks phoenix is running away because he hates him (for some reason) but really theyre both doing what theyre doing because they love each other. Phoenix trying to spare Edgeworth's feelings by not tarnishing his image of him by seeing him disbarred and Edgeworth not caring about that at all and just genuinely wanting to help/take care of him.
Eventually and after talking to someone else about it (maybe maya/franziska/gumshoe) edgeworth finds phoenix out somewhere and before he can run away he stops him to explain everything and they realize they love each other ❤️

typing out my pulsefire AU lore here --- (very heavy on the AU and headcanons oops)
the basic AU plot is mostly about Pulsefire Ezreal and Aphelios time misadventures (the plot is them banding together to try and get access to the back rooms Time Liminal Spaces to save Alune)
Aphelios and his sister Alune were twin time-cyborg-super-soldiers/killers created in collaboration with PF industries to fight off apocalyptic threats. Alune was considered something of a success project with her immense strength (telekinetic/physical) and lethality, Aphelios ended up on the lower end of quality (was slated to be demoted to fodder-level of soldier, and had a "personality wipe" (<- this also ended up botched). At some point, Alune hatched a plan to get them both out of the lab/armory and they both take a bunch of the PF weaponry during their escape (aka Alune just busted them out of there with brute strength). on the run from their escape, Alune attempts time traveling to locate a timeline/world/universe where they can't be easily followed so that she and her brother can peacefully live. however, she ended up in a liminal time space Thing and got stuck, leaving Aphelios all alone (which isn't Great, he's relied on her guidance his whole life)
... so he ends up timehopping around looking for someone who can help, maybe even one of these trouble making time explorers who know their way around time space AND the law and wouldnt mind helping a runaway guy. especially since he doesnt really. have funds to hire someone so he's kinda looking for someone ballsy and thrill seeking enough to help him out. (probably in exchange for his own combat capabilities. or hell, all the fancy equipment he could trade with)
he runs into Ezreal, a pretty infamous time explorer guy (he's caused a shitton of paradoxes and time-fuckery and is wanted by MANY people). and.. while Ezreal is up for pretty much Anything, the liminal time spaces is like the one (1) place he'd never go near bc nobody ever really survives going there. no point in going somewhere where you might not ever get out of without any form of reward, right. (Aphelios eveeeentually somewhat persuades him to help, at the very least to try and research/find/seek out a way to help his sister out. He's surprisingly persistent.)
and for Ezreal's lore, he used to be the kid of some tech ceo (or just tech guys) and his parents had high expectations of him becoming a researcher/STEM guy as well, but Ezreal caved into the pressure, ended up performing poorly in classes and started hard-slacking off until he was disowned. he ended up taking up some "experimental surgery" at one of the PF labs to become heavily augmented by technology, thinking if he couldn't make it as an academic, he could still find some useful way to contribute to society. except uhh. there WAS a (bad!) reason the surgery was kept under wraps and not made public... at some point or another, there's a raid at the specific lab he was staying at, most of the facility ends up destroyed in the chaos. armed with a ton of time traveling/warping tech, he saw it as a sign to say fuck it, and left the reality to explore time space and get into all sorts of nonsense, throwing caution into the wind. (And eventually runs into Aphelios...)
One of their first encounters happens to be while they're running from the timecops and Aphelios saves Ezreal's life, which does make the explorer feel indebted to him...
(a lot of the AU revolves around the theme of humanity, since Ezreal struggles with it a lot as he had a lot of his body replaced by cybernetics and technology and it's something of a body horror kinda situation to him, and Aphelios is (while he does have some augments and stuff as well) more so along the lines of like. Figuring out how to be human when he's always been treated as a weapon and tool his whole life. Both guys are woefully self sacrificial since they don't see themselves as like. human enough to have their lives have value, but throughout the misadventures they kinda come to realize bc they care about each other and other people they meet, maybe they ARE deserving of human contact/care/love/etc. :) also epic awesome battle scenes and stuff)

tell me more about tbgo poppy creek rivalry 👀
ok this got kinda long sorry LOL i have some thoughts on how itd work
so, i think instead of creek deliberately antagonising branch bc he gets some sick kick out of it, its creek trying (and failing) to worm his way back into the snack pack, and more importantly into poppys life. poppy would struggle with wanting to grab him and shake him and throw him off a cliff AND wanting to set a good example to her kingdom, to follow the mantra of "no troll left behind". in public she has to put on a brave face, and pretend like she actually tolerates, maybe even LIKES creek, but if theyre alone (or just with branch. branch still hates creek hes just not the focus) poppy actually lets him have it
since creek episodes would focus on poppy instead of branch, more of the snack pack actually get involved with the creek situation. they are treated as actual characters, and most of them dont like creek either but ALSO have to pretend to tolerate him: it wouldnt look very good if the queens friends dont follow her lead, right? creek becomes the one guy of the friend group that no one actually likes. obviously he wouldnt be an ACTUAL member of the snack pack and he still wouldnt be used nearly as often as guy diamond and smidge, but he still ends up "part of the gang" several times, and its made VERY obvious that they cant stand him. creek probably notices, and then we get some of that delicious twerpitude he shows with branch where he gets all touchy and mocking because he knows they cant do anything about it
creek week would be about poppy struggling to figure out how to deal with creek. her dad always said "no troll left behind", and even though creek wanted to leave EVERY troll behind, poppy cant deny that he is still a troll. she lets him back in the village, but says she will keep a very close eye on him. he says oh hes sure she will, she always used to when she thought he wouldnt notice 😉. poppy shudders. the rest of the episode is poppy watching, and hating, how creek reintegrated into the village. since the snack pack are the only ones who really know how creek acted, other trolls find it much easier to forgive him: theyre sure he really DID feel like he had no choice! its not like he looked super smug while telling them or anything! maybe branch also suggests the waterfall test (still using himself as bait), and poppy is desperate enough to go through with it, except instead of being cast out from the snack pack (they would not be present in the scene) poppy instead sees creek look all sad and pathetic. and she knows she shouldnt, but she feels bad. hes still a troll. she says hes sorry, and he says he forgives her because thats what friends do, then reaches out for a hug. branch shakes his head. poppy hugs him. the camera focuses on poppy, looking torn and uncomfortable, then on creek, looking smug, then on branch, who pinches the bridge of his nose and groans. episode ends.
haircuffed, this might be controversial but i think its peppy who ties them together. he thinks they used to be so inseparable, and whatever lovers spat (poppy tells him thats not what this is. he laughs it off) theyve got going on can just be solved by spending some quality time together. poppy is horrified, and says dad, no, you dont understand, its a difficult situation! creek is unbothered, but he says hes looking forward to spending a loooot of time with poppy. hes really wanted to catch up :). throughout the episode, creek acts exactly like he did when they were dating (ie, manipulative and controlling with a pretty icing coating), and poppy cant believe she ever saw anything in him. poppy would still pretend to get along with creek, just like branch did in the actual episode, but instead of them both agreeing to "act so close that it creeps poppy out into releasing them", poppy doesnt make any plan with creek. she just pretends that she actually forgave him, that theyre actually close, until peppy decides theyve buried the hatchet and releases them. branch, who had spent the whole episode brainstorming ways to reverse the haircuffs (explaining his absence), arrives with a chainsaw (the same one creek pulled out) and chases creek into the distance. peppy asks if shes gonna stop branch from attacking her friend. and she says no, dad, i hate that guy. ill fill you in.
the fast and the friendliest, instead of it being mentor vs mentor, poppy just doesnt want creek mentoring ANY of the children. shes seen what hes capable of! he has an utter disregard for anyone elses safety! and creek says "wow, poppy... i thought you really believed i changed... i guess you dont trust me afterall..." and otherwise lays it on really thick, until poppy gives in and says he can mentor priscilla, since shes the smartest and could probably tell if hes about to endanger her. throughout the episode, poppy sees creek work with priscilla and, wow, hes actually being very responsible! and priscilla seems like shes having a good time! maybe... maybe he really HAS changed. maybe he IS trustworthy! then, on the day of the event, creek finds out that branch is one of the other mentors. he didnt know, since he was so focused on poppy, but he still wants to show up his "competition" of course. he tells priscilla he has absolutely no doubts about her ability to win, but... just to make sure theres no chance she gets even close to second place, he attaches a booster bug to priscillas flyer bug. then it happens exactly how it does in canon, with priscillas flyer bug malfunctioning. branch and keith save priscilla, and even though theyre both tied for last place they look like they had fun. priscilla thanks creek for mentoring her, even if she ddnt win. creek loses his temper a bit, and says the only reason he volunteered in the first place was so his pupil could WIN! he wanted to prove he could be a GOOD mentor! he wanted to impress POPPY! he didnt care about this childrens event, he didnt care about PRISCILLA! priscilla starts crying, and poppy is pissed. she says this was supposed to be a fun event for the kids, and she thought he really wanted priscilla to enjoy herself. she thought he really changed. she thought he was trustworthy. she leaves, followed by branch (who sticks out his tongue) and keith (ditto). creek looks sad and pathetic. priscilla has calmed down a bit, and now shes with her parents, who say something about pursuing legal action against creek for the child endangerment. someone throws a tomato at him.
unsure about how bad luck branch could work with this new dynamic since... it is very specifically about branch. maybe instead of biggie being his partner, poppy is (and biggie is the presenter)? and creek talks about how branch is Clearly ruining everything for poppy, really love i dont know what you see in this jinxed troll. and poppys angry, because that is HER boyfriend youre talking about! poppy is the one who gets fixated on clearing branchs bad luck, but by the end of the episode she realises that SHE was the one causing the "bad luck" by getting in her own head and stressing branch out. she says shes sorry, and branch forgives her because theyre "best friends", and they agree to try their best for the rest of the event no matter what happens. the ending is exactly like in canon, with creek ending up eating shit and losing the game for himself and aspen. sorry aspen!
