. . . more biblically accurate gojo rambles! "i'm in love with a little blue frog."
Tumblr media
𝐀𝐒 𝐌𝐔𝐂𝐇 𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐔 𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 . . . he loves teasing you with them. he's always been insecure about them. his parents would never directly degrade him, but he could tell. they didn't like the way he looked. i mean—who would? three sets of eyes was not normal by any means, it was confusing for his parents considering he had curse-like features. my, my, the drama that occured. regardless, he never made friends. his face, paired with his immense power, made it nearly impossible for anyone to like him—truly like him. so he hid his face as best he could. bandanas, glasses, his hair, anything he could do to hide them.
and then he joined this choatic team which was led by yaga. suguru, you, him, and shoko. an unstoppable squad of the best new generation sorcerers. he was skeptical, then he got comfortable.
hed play with his glasses and accidentally flick them off his face, his bottom pair if eyes would squint at the sudden exposure to light as he searched for his glasses. he only paused when he realized the three of you were staring at him. specifically, his eyes. "ah shit—!" satoru desperately searched for his glasses before you calmly handed them to him. "you didn't see anything!" satoru huffs and crosses his arms, worried he's lost his first and only friends. the silence was deafening, more like, anxiety inducing for satoru—until you spoke.
"you're so pretty, 'toru!" you comment and smile. huh? did his crush just call him pretty? with a gasp from shoko and suguru simultaneously, they both leap and ask. "wait—do you actually have six eyes?" satoru's surprised at your interest, taking a step back.
"can we see?"
"that's fucking cool!"
"they look like baby eyes, awww, oh my god!"
"why didn't we notice this before??"
"wait . . . THAT'S WHY YOUVE BEEN SO BITCHY OVER YOUR STUPID SUNGLASSES?" suguru shouts, his eye twitching as he recalls all of satoru's bitchiness over touching his glasses. "huh? yea . . . wait—y'all aren't weirded out?" you frown. "no?" you sound offended as you answer. "they look fucking cool, move your hair." you stand up and smile, pushing up his fluffy pale hair to see his whole face. "you're so pretty . . . " you mumble, locking eyes with his big set and smile.
ever since then, gojo's been getting quite comfortable not hiding himself (utahime and nanami almost ruined it though). maybe even perhaps too comfortable?
when he finally snagged your heart, you'd go on dates and occasionally sleep in eachother's rooms. the bad thing about that, is satoru is a living nightlight. if he doesn't go to sleep before you, there's six blue beams shining either in your face—or the back of your head. its mostly to annoy you, but—sometimes he just likes looking at you. one thing he does do constantly to irritate you? is manipulate the way his eyes move.
once he gained full control . . . it was over. one thing he does, is frog blink. he mostly does it to catch you off gaurd or distract you. for example, if you're in an argument . . . he will purposefully make his eyes blink at different times to throw you off. and it works, a lot. sometimes you laugh, sometimes you just get really confused, but eitherway your reaction is funny and there's no longer an argument!
it is really adorable when he cries though. his little eyes close in cresents and under them are bright red. they make smaller tears that join up with the big tears . . . and awwww. it was even cuter when he was a baby! tears rolling down his chubby with that cute little baby pout.
don't even get me started if the two of you are able to have a biological child! if his baby has his six little blue eyes? he'll cry—for a multitude of reasons . . .
number one: they look just like they're daddy!
number two: they might have to face what they're daddy went through.
and number three: those six-eyes on a baby look so cute!
because of his upbringing, he will never—and i mean never, fail to shower his kid with love. on their first day of kindergarten he kissed every single eye like you did for him and sent them off with an "daddy love's you." even if non-sorcerers can't see it, when they gets older . . . others will be able to see them. so he drenches them in love, gives them tips to maintain each eye, tells them how to hide them if they really want to. he's literally such a great dad, you love him sm.
Tumblr media
bc ppl wanted more, i gave them more! tell me if you want more scenarios with six-eyes gojo or anything like that!

Octomer Ratchet is so good. I can imagine any chromatophores he might have going wild while pursuing Drift, if he has any natural camouflage abilities.
Perhaps he plays a game with Drift, hiding among coral and rock formations in order to "sneak up" on him, his usual brights reds and whites distorting to match their environment-- Maybe arousal causes some colour changing as well?
IDK I just really like the idea of Ratchet changing colour (or at least hues) like a mood ring lmao maybe it even frustrates him a bit, like oh no my fucking chromatophores are going to give away this huge crush I have -- he might try to hide in corals or swirl up a bunch of sand with his tentacles initially
If Drift is a land dweller, then maybe they figure out Ratchet is interested in him by studying how Ratch's colours change, and what patterns/colours only appear when Drift is around...
...and maybe Ratchet's attempts at hiding/playing hide and seek (lol) are mistaken for aggression at first, because they don't know why he's doing it
and then they guess it's some kind of broody behaviour, like maybe he's trying to defend a nest or egg clutch that he doesn't really have?? Because Ratchet's grumpy but not usually aggressive and it's weird behaviour from him as far as they're aware. So then he gets a little pity from the facility staff but it's hilarious because he does want to Do It but all the guessing isn't quite right. Like yes it's about Doin It and Eventual Eggs but not in the way they think. Communication Issues lol
"stop giving me extra companion fish out of pity and just give me Drift, do you not see my cream and burgundy-red colouring, is this somehow not clear enough? Oh god here he comes, sand sand sand I need more sand why is this coral so small" no it is not clear to them, Ratchet. lmaooo
Anyway this is earthstellar but Tumblr will only let me send asks from my main blog and not my TF blog lol so ayyy just wanted to say, loving this mer AU situation 🐙💖
This is such a good concept,,, besotted Ratchet accidentally telling on himself with his own colors is genius. Also blushy Ratchet is adorable <3
Hmm a really clear concept just came to me... Security guard Drift at the marine research facility, Ratchet is the only mer there who constantly avoids him, so he just disappointedly assumes he gives Ratchet bad vibes
One night when he's on a skeleton shift, he passes by Ratchet's tank and suddenly notices that something is fucked up with the filtration pumps (or whatever I don't know how aquariums work)
He immediately makes an emergency call to the aquarium techs who are at home. They tell him to get Ratchet moved till someone arrives to fix it. So he's hesitantly going up to the tank like, "hey buddy I know you dont like me, but I gotta pull you out of here for a bit, it's not safe" Ratchet quickly pulls himself right into Drifts arms... and now he's carrying a big squirming octomer. Drift's pretty surprised, but he brushes it off as Ratchet wanting out of his tank
When Drift finally gets to the temporary tank he expects Ratchet to jump from his arms and signal for him to basically fuck off... instead, he goes to put Ratchet down, only to get pulled into the tank with him. Now he's sitting in chest high water, pinned by a heavy wiggling octomer in his lap
For Ratchet, life is good 😎👍
Drift, meanwhile, is mentally repeating "don't get hard" like a mantra, while a purring Ratchet's tentacles caress every inch of his plating. Since it was the middle of the night, they have to wait a good bit for someone who can fix the pumps to get there and make Ratchet's tank safe again...
Maybe, as the hours go on, Ratchet gets a bit friskier... or maybe he just leaves it at intimate exploration, because he's too busy watching Drift whimper and twitch underneath his tentacles <3

FIC REC WEEK 9 – AUs
Cold Space, Warm Welcome by Annie D (scaramouche)
Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: T Words: 15,572 Tags: Sci-Fi, Misunderstandings, Pining Steve
Summary: Tony’s spent a couple of years flying around the galaxy in his best friend Rhodey’s spaceship the Iron Advance, doing what could perhaps be counted as ‘hero’ work. Among their allies is Steve Rogers, captain of his own crew, with whom Tony has a… potentially friendly relationship. When Steve’s ship is irreparably damaged, Rhodey takes him and his whole crew onto the Iron Advance to recover. Tony’s not at all nervous about this, because so what if this is the first time Steve will see him without the Iron Man armor?
Reasons why I love it: Steve is so whipped for Tony, oh my god. I adore their dynamic here, and it's so much fun to see all of Steve's fumbling attempts to make his interest known from Tony's point of view, who is utterly oblivious. And the setting itself is fantastic, it really paints a picture of what their lives in space are like. I love this fic to bits, and I bet you will too!
The Scars of Your Love by blue_jack
Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: M Words: 5,462 Tags: Scars, Angst with a Happy Ending, Breaking Up and Making Up
Summary: On the day Peggy moved out, Steve stood naked in front of the mirror and looked at all the ragged lines running over his body. He felt like someone had taken a knife to him, slicing every inch open, and he didn’t understand how there wasn’t any blood. He traced one particularly thick scar on his stomach, gritting his teeth against the pain, the memory of the first time he’d brought Peggy over to meet his family and all the teasing that had accompanied it burning through his mind. He couldn’t imagine her marks ever disappearing, and in that moment, he didn’t want them to, didn’t want to ever expose himself to that much hurt again. Once in a lifetime was enough.
Reasons why I love it: Having heartbreak leave actual, physical scars on your body is such a kickass concept. Emotional pain is so real it often feels like it should leave scars, and Steve sure hasn't been spared during his lifetime. I really like how the whole later conflict with Tony is set up because of Steve's relationship with Peggy. It feels very true to Steve's character that he acts the way he does. And oh my god, poor Tony. I love this one, please go and check it out!
Missing and Ravished by SailorChibi
Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: E Words: 8,760 Tags: Serial Killer Steve, Officer Tony, Gore
Summary: Officer Tony Stark really did not mean to fall in love with a serial killer.
Reasons why I love it: This might sound weird, but if canon Steve ever became a serial killer, I imagine that it would be exactly like this. I love the whole premise of the fic, of Tony being torn between his duty, his morales and his emotions, and the moment it all comes crashing down is immensely satisfying. I love everything about this fic, so I hope you give it a shot!
Steve Rogers' Life Is Not A Romance Movie (He Wouldn't Get The References, Anyway) by someonelsesheart
Pairing: Steve/Tony, Pepper/Natasha Rating: T Words: 7,909 Tags: High School AU, Humor, Enemies to Lovers
Summary: Steve hasn't always had this ridiculous crush on Tony Stark. (Or, the one where Steve is his polite old self and doesn't really hate Tony Stark (unfortunately), Tony is a child progidy and apparently a cab driver now, too, and high school is still high school, even when you are the son of a billionaire.)
Reasons why I love it: Steve the spitfire makes an appearance! They're both such dorks in this, and the way they stand up for each other in front of bullies legitimately makes my heart melt. Also, Pepper and Natasha are queens, and I adore them with my whole heart. Definitely check this one out, it's adorable!
Stellar Love Affairs by AvengersNewB, BladeoftheNebula
Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: E Words: 5,407 Tags: A/B/O (Omega Tony, Alpha Steve), Mating Cycles, Space AU
Summary: Captain Steve Rogers gets assigned to command the starship Avenger. Everything is going as expected until he sets eyes on Tony Stark, who happens to be the first omega Steve's ever met.
Reasons why I love it: A Star Trek fusion, A/B/O, fuck or die fic written by two of my favorite people in this fandom? It's like this fic was written for me! I love everything about it, from the worldbuilding to the smut to them getting their heads out of their asses and finally communicating. It's fantastic, and I highly recommend you check it out for yourself!

"Kissing Classes" ♡ Luke Castellan x M!Reader
1st chapter ☆ you're here ☆ 3rd chapter
Tumblr media
2nd chapter summary: why was luke asking you for a second lesson? doesn't he have a girlfriend at this point?
1.2 words
warnings: miscommunication, queer depression, reader is not the best at reading a certain son of hermes, bad words (again).
tags: pre-tlt, friends with benefits (??), friends to lovers, luke castellan is head over heels, reader wants to forget about luke, reader loves blur (the band) and goes crazy when they are mentioned, luke isn't very good at hiding feelings anymore.
II. "How to impress a girl a second time?"
Luke's audacity to ask a second time how to kiss surprised you in a negative way. But what came from his mouth was way more frustrating.
— I think she wants the kiss to be more intense — he shrugged —. Do you know how to?
— Luke, is she not your girlfriend yet? — you consulted, eyes unable to hide your discomfort or rather surprised expression —. You know, it isn't right to kiss someone else if you have a thing going on with her. Plus, you didn't get me the CD player yet. And THAT was part of our deal — you sounded angrier than you wanted to. But it was such an idiotic thing to be furious at. He was your friend, even if you wished something else.
— She's not my girlfriend yet and I am working on the CD player thing — he reassured you without any signs of being nervous or angry.
— But if she's like- """an almost something""", don't you think it's right to only kiss her for now? At least until you have it sorted it out? — you seemed desperate —. I don't even know her name, gods... — you muttered.
— You are way too worried — Luke affirmed calmly —. You should calm down. I am your friend, and I'm asking you this because I need to. If we get in trouble, just say it was my idea, no need to take the blame.
— It's not a crime, but it feels so wrong. Luke. I don't think this is okay. — Well, you did sign up for the first time. But a second time? It was too much.
— Come on, it's not a crime, you said it — the Hermes Cabin Counselor repeated your words and sat down on his bed, you were still standing up —. I can get you anything this time too, please — he pleaded, now he seemed desperate.
— What is her name?
— Why do you want to know?
— Why wouldn't I? If this girl is real I should know her name by now, Castellan.
You almost never called him by his last name. He didn't hate it, but it seemed weird coming out of your mouth.
— She's called Sofia, it's like Sophie but-
— In a Spanish version, yeah yeah — you sighed —. I don't know her, but I don't care. There are so many in the Aphrodite Cabin that I wouldn't even like to meet.
— Well, you didn't like them since the beginning. But she's nice.
— Yeah. I get that.
You fiddled as a way to stop your nervousness, it wasn't helping. You sat beside Luke.
— So, what does she want this time? — you asked to know what it was all about.
— I was thinking of... something more intense. Perhaps tongue?
You stopped moving your fingers and a slight blush felt through your cheeks. "Damnit"
— I am *not* the indicated person for that. Thank you but I have to-
— I'll get you the rare CD of that band you like.
You raised your eyebrow:—. Which one?
— Blur? Was that it?
— MODERN LIFE IS RUBBISH DELUXE? — your mouth exclaimed surprise —. No fucking way, Luke. You are going to get me a 24 dollar special CD for teaching you how to do something.
— But I can and will.
You thought about it a little. Modern Life is Rubbish wasn't that hard to get, maybe your help was worth a little more than that.
— Wait- do you know guys my age who could like me?
Luke furrowed his eyebrows:—. I could get one. Why?
You hesitated for a bit:—. I want you to get me a date. I've been single for so long I'm helping you how to kiss. But you pay the date. I'm going to save for a Japanese Blur CD. You get me a date and pay for it — you proposed.
You weren't happy with leaving your silly crush, but you had to move on. Specially after the Kissing Classes™️.
— Alright. That's more difficult than the CD but I already owe you a player — the curly haired boy sighed and turned to you, marking a beginning to the lesson.
— So, if you want to deepen a kiss... — you started explaining —. I think a girl would like you to grab her by the waist or hips. Then you can give place to your tongue or something.
— Could you show me? — there was his stupid smile again —. Kiss me how I should kiss her — you made a disgusted face but then erased it and got closer to Luke.
— You get close to her. Maybe grab her waist — you did so with Luke's —. Look at her lips. Wait for her to give the yes, because it's important and... — you kissed him.
The kiss was more experienced than last time, maybe because you commanded it with your hands at your friend's waist and a slightly wider mouth than the first.
At some point, you introduce your tongue to Luke's mouth. He's into it, which is weird to you. You decide to ignore it.
The kiss deepens so much that at some point you grab his dark curls. Then pull away.
— You go with tongue when it's intense enough. You'll know the exact time — you wiped your now red lips.
The Hermes Cabin Counselor was starstruck. Like you just took him to the moon and back, when it was just a kiss over a lesson.
— You should tell me about Sofia — you told him with half a smile —. And the boy you are going to introduce me to.
— I'm not sure how I'm going to do that — he came back to Earth.
— Deal with it. I already taught you how to do this stuff. It's only fair for me to get what I want.
Luke nodded. He seemed upset for a second.
— Good luck — you said and greeted him once again to go to your cabin. This time it was earlier than usual.
Fuck Luke Castellan. You couldn't take this one-or-two-times-thing anymore. He was probably using you for his identity discovery or something. But this time you were more convincing, you tried so hard not to feel the actual kiss. Maybe you did. But that didn't matter. You were soon going to meet a boy Luke Castellan felt right for you, who was anywho but him.
Such an 'in my life, why do I give valuable time to people who don't care if I live or die?' day. Maybe it was time to listen to The Smiths, if you only had the CD player.
You fell on your bed. Another day, new chores to do. You were replacing the head counselor of your cabin tomorrow, since they were on a quest. Hopefully it was temporary.
But there was a certain boy you couldn't help but think of. He wasn't a child of Aphrodite, yet you always liked him. Maybe it was hopeless to keep being his friend, it only took you to these situations where you end up bad.
"I fucking hate Luke Castellan. He gives me the CD player and the date and I'm going to ghost him" you thought, if it was even possible to ghost him in real life.
You fell asleep, finally.

Batcest warning!! Look away if uncomfy
One of my favourite convoluted love triangle headcanons is Tim likes Jay who likes Dick who has had an unrequited crush on Bruce for years who just thinks of his boys as...his boys. Dami also has a crush on Dick AND Tim but will never admit it.
I like to think Tim confessed to Jay and Jay was like "fuck off" but started looking at him differently. Perhaps they meet up for a makeout session every now and then but Jay's feelings are with Dick who he refuses to confess to.
"I will bury this feeling under multiple layers of snark and disdain until I die-for reals this time."
Dick knew lil Jay had a crush on him but didn't think post-lazarus pit Jay still held the same feelings so just treats him as a brother. He's still pining for his father/mentor after all. Dick was so obvious with his feelings as a kid but Bruce never picked up on it and eventually Dick gave up, burying his feelings in redheads and work. Part of his leaving Bruce so dramatically was realising his crush would never come to fruition.
Damian's crush on Dick developed after Bruce's death and Dick took such good care of him. He slipped it into conversation a few times but Dick didn't take it seriously, thinking he was just confusing familial love with romantic love. His crush on Tim on the other hand is something he refuses to admit but most of his bro's have caught onto it. Even Tim knows but refuses to acknowledge it, weirded out by it enough. He's grateful when Jon comes into the picture and takes Dami's attention away from him.
Now Bruce may be the greatest detective but he is shit when it comes to romance and even more so when it involves his boys. Selina knows pretty much all of it but doesn't want to out the boys before they're ready-and besides who wanted to break the news to such a love-adverse, awkward man like Bruce?
I didn't mention Duke in the intro but that's because he's not part of the triangle (hexagon?) and altho he knows a lot of who is crushing on who there is absolutely no form of torture that could get him to talk about it.
Steph and Cass are the only ones who have it together because they've been dating for a while and are pretty open about it. Even Bruce knows and acknowledges them. He will protect his girls if anyone says anything homophobic to them and u can quote me on that.

It's their turn! 💛❤️✨
(Extra context of the meme below (mini fic?)!!!)
Tumblr media
After the events of Red Robin, Babs and Luke inform Jean-Paul of the issues and problems going on among the bats. During a mission, Bruce got hurt again and has been benched, meaning the situation of "Dick covering for Batman" is once again back in town. This creates a lot of tension among Dick, Damian, Tim, Jason and Bruce, making it almost impossible for them to work together.
Having their hands full with actual city saving, Luke and Babs called JP to ask him to go back and help for a while. Luke does apologize for it, since he knows JP is way happier in Europe and working on his own. It's not that JP doesn't like Gotham, but he grew tired of Bruce and Dick treating him like trash, so he left months after Jason had that - violent encounter with Tim on Titans Tower.
Jean-Paul admits that was part of the problem too; he didn't like it that Bruce seemed so at peace with Tim getting hurt. And Tim... Tim allowed Bruce to ignore his pain. That was maddening, btw, and Jean-Paul had snapped a few times against Tim, screaming that he shouldn't let Bruce walk over him.
Whatever. Jean-Paul had left. He went to Europe and traveled, getting rid of the order of st. Dumas by himself alone, and then getting rid of other groups equally awful and cruel. It was a tiring, slow job. He traveled a lot, and from time to time visited Brian in Spain to chat, but mostly he focused on ending the cycle of violence that he had been raised into. Eventually he did, and just months later, Luke and Babs call.
Being back in Gotham is - weird. It has been years, and Jean-Paul feels uncomfortable around Jason and Damian. His dislike towards Dick hasn't lowered, and it has stayed as a mutual feeling, although JP can't help to feel a bit of pity for Dick when he sees how tired and old Dick looks once he takes off the Batman cowl. But hey, didn't Dick argue that JP wasn't worthy? Then perhaps he should carry the weight of the mantle he insisted JP tainted.
Mostly, JP doesn't like being back at Gotham. Until he sees Tim.
Tim, who has - grown into such a smart, beautiful and sassy young man. Tim, who wears eyeliner, mascara and red lipstick. Tim, with acrilic nails as sharp as Catwoman's. Tim, with a perfume even more hypnotizing than Poison Ivy. Tim, lethal and beautiful. Tim, that makes JP's knees tremble as if he's a teenage virgin boy.
And it gets worse when they start working together. Huge news! Ofc JP had been called back because Tim refused to work with the bats anymore, and it's JP's duty to work with him and push him back to Babs (she does understand that Tim doesn't want to be close to the others, but she worries about Tim being alone, and doesn't want him going out without any support). And doing that is hell, because JP falls hard and deep for Tim.
JP is sure that he was completely whipped by the end of the third week working together. Maybe even sooner.
That's how Luke learns about it, since JP is awful at hiding his crushes. And Luke has the nerve to laugh, telling JP to ask Tim out as if Tim wasn't way out of JP's league! Does Luke enjoy seeing him suffering? JP thinks he will go crazy if he has to hear one more phrase about taking risks...
And yet JP follows Luke's advice: He asks Tim out.
He asks Tim out in a chat. A grupal chat. With Luke on it. And maybe he's hugging his cat George all the time while waiting for Tim to reply.
Against all logic, Tim says yes, and then texts JP on their private chat (the one that's supposed to be used for cases only), saying just one sentence:
"You're adorable, Jean-Paul."
For the record, the first date goes great. JP manages to get to third base, and Tim smirks smugly while murmuring "Puppy" on JP's ear, nails holding his long blonde hair to keep him in place: At Tim's mercy.

The scenes with Angel attempting to help Faith in Consequences are really hard for me to analyse.
On the one hand, it really does seem that we're meant to think that Angel's pitch is getting through to Faith, and that Wesley's ill-judged intervention is the only reason it doesn't work (that's certainly the position that Buffy herself argues for later in the episode). But, on the other hand, whether you believe Faith is already showing signs of feeling guilty about killing Finch or not (and I would agree with Buffy that she is), Angel's actual approach to the situation is to
chain up a girl who has so far killed exactly one person, by mistake; then
tell her that he knows what she's going through because he used to kill people deliberately all the time (something Faith has not yet done); and
that he found it "exhilirating ... like a drug" (surely unlike Faith, who has only ever argued that she doesn't care about killing somone, not that she liked it or plans to do it again); and
that he only stopped because he got given a soul (something Faith already has).
Perhaps I cannot fault Angel for projecting all his own weird personal issues onto Faith like this -- I will, after all, concede that I am part of the projecting-your-own-issues-onto-Faith-Lehane side of Tumblr myself -- but surely none of this is actually helpful? "I know what you're going through, because I too have gone through [something objectively different on every level]; luckily the solution for me was [something that won't help you]". And at the end of the episode, when Faith gets free, she immediately decides to do something that -- whether the writers intended this reading or not -- looks an awful lot like "consciously trying to behave like a soulless Angel right after he persuaded her they were actually the same". Because, as Faith herself puts it to Buffy: "it was good, wasn't it? The sex? The danger? Bet a part of you even dug him when he went psycho". It really doesn't seem that Faith learned the intended lesson from Angel's speech.
(The irony here, of course, is that Buffy does know somebody who accidentally killed a person while trying to look cool in front of his gay crush. Somebody who knows all about the guilt of unintentionally taking a human life and having to live with it afterwards. Somebody who the show was happy to remind us about last year when Buffy thought she'd accidentally killed a human, but who is conspiciously quiet about that aspect of his past this year and in fact argues against the idea that Faith can be helped at all. But then, as Giles is at pains to reassure Buffy this episode, he is only pretending to be on Faith's side.)

Hello~~ this is probably a weird request but can I have some hc of Shalnark x gn reader where he was tasked with investigating but literally don't have any information of them online? Like no accounts, no database or anything about them, and the more Shalnark tries to investigate them the more obssesed he becomes and kind of develops a crush?
Ooh, this is interesting, thank you for the ask!
Shalnark x gn!reader - no digital footprints?
Shalnark tried using the hunter website but it was to no avail. For some reason, the person that Chrollo requested to be investigated didn't show up on any records. They didn't have a job that perhaps could lead them? No. Did they have a birth certificate? No. He was convinced that this could mean one thing: you're from Meteor City.
He took it upon himself to ask about you from various people in Meteor City when he went back. He knew his chances were limited in finding good info since the population was massive, but you were well-known enough by a handful of people that he was able to locate you. You were working at a hospital in the city, just on the outskirts which helped you hide yourself from the general population
Chrollo likely took an interest in you after finding out about your ability. He wasn't interested in taking it, no he couldn't find himself doing that to a fellow citizen without them first being convinced it was for the better good of the city (strange morals, but oh well). Because of this, he wanted Shalnark to approach you first (not only was he more advanced at technology, but he was also outgoing and could attract people easily)
Shalnark spotted you while you were off on a break and took it upon himself to chat with you. It went smoothly, the two of you talking about the city and how different it is from when you two were kids. He managed to get your phone number, which was going by a different name (probably stolen from a mafia member a while ago) and used that to talk to you.
He doesn't like the idea of having to personally investigate you, he would rather read documents and articles but Chrollo wanted this to be done. Shalnark thought he would be exhausted by the end of his first day talking to you, but he found himself excited to meet you tomorrow. With that, he decided he would see what happens
Shalnark will likely start falling for you after a few weeks. He isn't really a hopeless romantic, so he was confused when he first started obsessing over little details about you. "No, I'm just doing my job" he might think, but in reality he was starting to get invested in the little relationship you two started
He would visit the hospital more often, sometimes talking about things other than your nen ability and even going around the city just for leisure. Sometimes Shalnark would forget why he was talking to you in the first place. This brings in a dilemma for him since he knows this is just for a job, but perhaps he really likes you for who you are. So far, you've been kind to him, and you two share a lot of similar interests.
Finally when the time comes to have Chrollo meet you, Shalnark doesn't break the news that he's part of the troupe. He's proud of his job, but he doesn't know if you feel the same way, and this for some reason causes him to be afraid that you might stop talking to him. It might take him a while to open up about his job, but what he knows for sure is that the outcome of his little mission wasn't what he expected.
Chrollo might find this kind of funny. He doesn't mind Shalnark developing a crush (probably saw it coming too). Shalnark would ramble about things unrelated to the mission sometimes when giving details to Chrollo, which hinted a lot at the crush. Would Chrollo try convincing you to ask Shalnark out? Maybe.

d-word matty leaving secret presents on girlies desk when she's having a bad week and she's like "who are these from???" they're just little bits, her fav lip balm, a tea she likes, and a face mask.
she talks to him about it being like, "Do you know who's doing it? it's so nice and I wanna thank them!!" Of course he's not gonna tell, so he's like, "No, no idea! sorry darling!"
she eventually finds out when she gets in early one day and sees him leaving something. He doesn't spot her, though, so he thinks it's still a secret. he comes over at lunch and is like, "You get anything from your secret admirer today?" And she's like "oh you admire me, huh?"
matty gets all stuttery and apologises because he thinks she finds it weird, so to calm him, she touches his arm or something and is like "no don't apologise, I love the presents thank you, matty," and perhaps even gives him a kiss on the cheek, then walks away.
matty is just so in love he can't think straight bc she touched him?? and kissed his cheek?? maybe this little crush isn't one-sided??
STOP IT THIS IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you basically wrote it all for me so i'm just going to dissect little bits if that's chill. like he so WOULD be perceptive of the little things you like and use all the time, like the tea and the lip balm and the sweets you get most excited about when anyone brings some in. and also imagining him trying to find the lip balm in the shop, especially if it's a slightly less obvious one, asking a staff member for help finding it and also being like "those sheet masks... can you recommend any good ones?", bless him. and i think you'd hope that it was actually matty leaving you the presents, but you doubted it, and your hopes were a little bit dashed when you asked him and he was like "oh idk" - when you do catch him putting a candle on your desk one morning (that you're beyond touched to notice matches the perfume you like to wear to work), you literally have to go out into the corridor and jump up and down with joy for a second lol. matty does get extremely flustered when he finds out you've clocked him as the gift-giver right as you guys are leaving the office that night, but it soon dissipates, replaced with what can only be described as gooiness as you thank him with sparkly eyes and a kiss on the cheek - the gooiness is then also replaced by giddiness, as you hold out your hand to him and say "shall we get the train home, then?" and don't let it go until you're on the platform at the station (a bold move on your part, but you like holding him), matty just so excited about the subtle confirmation that you like him as much as and in the same way he likes you <3

Hello there! Could I request some general headcanons of the hashiras (If it's possible all of them, if not you can choose whoever you want ^^) seeing reader (who's also a hashira) as an older sibling figure?? Please and thank you!
I hope you are having an excellent day / night <3
A/N: Hello! I'm a sucker for sibling relationships, so I love this idea! I didn't specify whetehr or not the reader is blood related to the characters, hopefully you don't mind. I hope you enjoy reading this, have a nice day/night ^^
Hashiras with a older sibling!reader
Warnings: none, just tooth rotting fluff (perhaps some minor spoilers about backstories though)
Tumblr media
She really enjoys ranting to you, especially because she feels like you actually listen to her. The topics range from any crushes she may have, favorite food, to her your presence matters the most
Looks up to how you protect others, she's really open about it, too. By that I mean, she's always complimenting you!
If you offer to braid her hair yourself, she will be incredibly happy! She will definitely repay the favor later on, too
Invites you out for food quite often and gets really excited to try new foods with you
Internally longs for your approval, please reassure her of how strong she is
Tumblr media
Really enjoys your company, your presence is comforting to him, even if you don't talk to him. With you, the silence is always comfortable to him
Secretly hopes to be sent on missions with you more often, but he also doesn't want you risking your life
You may be one of the few people that can make him smile, even if only faintly
Really admires your skills, by that I means he stares at you quite often. He will look away when you catch him though, he's just afraid you'll think he's weird
He would slowly open up to you over time, he truly feels like he can trust you enough to do so
Tumblr media
Gives "Younger sibling that is constantly pestering you (affectionately)" energy- but it's just because deep inside he doesn't want to lose you too
He always asks to wear matching outfits with you, might even do your makeup so you have matching eye marks
Always talking about how flamboyant you are, no matter what you do, even more so if you have any confidence issues, but also even if you don't
Let's his guard down around you, relaxing completely when you're around and becoming even more laid-back than usual
He always has your back, even if you're his older sibling- that's what siblings do, after all!
Tumblr media
Trust me when I say, he has an unspoken soft spot for you- and that soft spot stays unspoken
Despite how high his expectations are, you always seem to live up to them, and so his respect towards you is unwavering
Doesn't berate you as much as he does to others because of that respect, though he won't hesitate to if it means hiding his soft spot
"Protective/intimidating younger brother" energy, but he still needs reassurement from you every now and then
Teases you every now and then and he has petty fights with you, but in his mind he just thinks you're too good of an older sibling for him
Tumblr media
His admiration for you is something he'll never express out loud, but it's there and it has been for a long time
He's a bit harsh with his words though- and he doesn't hold back in any scenario. Truthfully, his intentions aren't bad, he simply doesn't want to lose another person he cares about
Trains/spars with you a lot, because to be fair, he thinks you are very cool
Another protective younger brother, except people are openly scared of him- but he won't openly protect you, that would make him seem too "soft" (from his perspective)
You are one of the few people that can criticize him without him getting too stubborn
Tumblr media
It's truly nice for him to have someone to rely on, though he's not fully used to it
He often goes to you for emotional support, and when you need it he's also there for you whenever you need it
Enjoys spending time with you whenever he can, but he does prefer it when he's not doing something related to his work- things like drinking tea with you and talking
Wants you to live a normal life, so he tries to step up as a sibling, even if you're older
All in all, he's very supportive of you no matter what, and he does his best to repay all the kindness you show him
Tumblr media
Another protective younger brother, he tries to be at your side as often as he can be
He doesn't know- or well, more accurately- remember why he's so attached to you, but he is, and he'd be lying if he said you don't make him smile every now and then
Drags you to spend time with him, especially in the early mornings. Whether it's training or just eating breakfast with him, he just wants to be around you
Glares at whoever tries to take you away when he's supposed to be the one hanging out with you- in his mind, you're HIS older sibling, so why should he share you? (He just wants you attention)
In the end, he's thankful you're patient with his despite his poor memory, even if he doesn't realize it yet
Tumblr media
She opens up to you about her true feeling, you're her shoulder to cry on- and she's there if the roles were switched, too
Teases you a lot, but never goes into personal topics. She's not heartless y'know
Finds your presence very comforting, it's a reminder that you're there for her, emotionally and physically. Additionally, it helps ground her, and keep her mind away from negative thoughts
Tries to keep you as far away from danger as she can, you may be older but she can be a bit afraid of losing you every now and then
Often spends as much time with you as she can, even if you're both very busy at times. If she can, she'll drag you around the butterfly mansion on days when there's a lot to do
Tumblr media
He's used to being the older sibling, so it may take him a while to get used to it. He'll still act older sometimes, but that's only because he cares
Sometimes you need to remind him that even the strongest people need to be taken care of and he reminds you that it applies to you, too
Whenever has doubts about something or he just wants to talk to someone, he comes to you
Looks up to you a lot. Not only because you're strong, but also because you are even stronger than him, because you support him
He's supportive of you through anything, that's for sure. You may be older, but he's your shoulder to cry on

Hey! So this may seem random, but I remember you posting about how Prussia would react to England dating Germany and I was wondering, how do you think he would feel towards your other ships for Germany (gerfra, for example)?
I think in all cases, he's overprotective.
Even with Francis who he knows is a good lover and though he seems to go fast, Gil knows Francis will slow down if his partner. But he finds it so weird when one of his best friends ends up dating his baby bro. So even Francis isn't immune to scary intimidating Gil. If anything, it might be worse than even Arthur. Though if PruCan is together, Gil doesn't have a leg to stand on
GerCan Gil is not saying shit. Gil is too scared of Matt still after the world wars. Though at the same time, I think there is extra worry because Matt had a burning hatred for both him and Ludwig up until a few decades ago. But at the same time, that's just how nationhood is sometimes. And Matt is very attentive and dotting which puts some of the concerns at ease. Francis and Arthur also assure him that Matt is very forgiving, sometimes when he shouldn't be, so now in peace time there shouldn't be any ill will towards them.
GerAme. Not as much overprotectiveness as with Fran and Art. A healthy amount of course. But Gil was his mentor so he know Al is a good kid when it is all boiled down. Though he gets concerned sometimes that Al is a bit overwhelming for Lud with how loud and oblivious he can be. But he trusts Lud's judgement and he seems to be coming out of his shell beyond work so perhaps it is good.
Okay, this isn't my ship but I have some interesting thoughts on Gil and his reaction to GerIta. There is a lot of interesting emotions/thoughts at play. One is the jealousy. It's canon Gil has a crush on Feli. So when Feli goes for his brother instead it stings a bit. But Gil loves Ludwig more than anyone so that jealousy never becomes anger or aggressiveness towards Lud. Then there is the HRE thing. Whether you think Ludwig is HRE or not, there is no denying their similar appearance. Gilbert probably has worries that Feli is only using Ludwig as a rebound or perhaps thinks Ludwig is HRE, but Gil sees Ludwig is slightly different (even if Ludwig is HRE with amnesia or the two share a body, or however you see it) so he worries Feli won't be satisfied and Lud will either try to mold himself into HRE for Feli's sake or end up broken hearted. He's not aggressive in his overprotectiveness, he even outwardly blesses the relationship, but he's keeping an eye out. As much as he loves Feli, he knows Feli has been hurt and that hurt people hurt people. And like I said, Gil's love for Ludwig trumps everything.

okay......anime. I'm sending a lot because I'm not entirely sure what you like? perhaps none of these? please ignore it as needed haha I am mainly getting it out of my system.
SERIOUS FARE - drama, action, adrenaline, feelings
Cowboy Bebop (1 Season, Complete) - slick, gritty, moody, jazzy, impeccably animated. neo-noir space-western about a crew of oddballs on a little spaceship just trying to get by. sometimes goofy, sometimes sad, always a favorite.
Chainsaw Man (1 Season So Far) - an impoverished, immature young man whose dreams include "eating some nice food" and "touching a girl" finds himself swept up in a career that allows him to do both those things and more, to varying degrees of satisfaction. also he can turn his body into chainsaws. it's coming-of-age it's horror it's action it's more found family it's good.
Violet Evergarden (1 Season, Complete) - some controversial choices were made for the adjacent movie, but the show is so good even standing alone. a traumatized child soldier slowly reconnects with her emotions by writing letters for other people. that's basically the whole story. made me cry a lot.
THE FUNNY PAGES - for when you need a laugh!
Spy x Family (1 Season, 2nd Incoming) - a delightful situational comedy set in Definitely Not Cold War Germany about a spy, his cover wife whom he does not know is an assassin, and his adopted daughter whom he does not know is a psychic. featuring moments of genuinely compelling found family connection.
Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun (1 Season, Complete) - a girl summons the courage to confess to her crush. a series of misunderstandings ensues and doesn't stop ensuing. more mistaken identity goofiness, a cast full of charming dumbasses, and some insights into life as a manga artist. also another bangin theme song.
TOASTY'S TOP 3 - my absolute favorites
Vinland Saga (2 Seasons, 3rd Seemingly Confirmed) - you follow me so you are probably at least aware of this and whether it looks like something you'd enjoy but I have to include it. a viking-era tale of trauma, war, revenge, redemption, masculinity, religion, politics, philosophy, and more! season one is the prologue, where the antagonist is (imo) the secret main character. season two answers the unmitigated violence of season one with the povs of normal working people who end up as collateral damage, and also pays off one of season one's earliest setups in a huge fantastic way imo. it's idealistic without ever failing to acknowledge the pain that comes when idealism meets reality. I love it.
Run With the Wind (2 Seasons, Complete) - there aren't a whole lot of sports anime for older audiences, but this is one of them and I rewatch it on a yearly basis. you have to kind of slow yourself down for it--most shonen sports anime are brisk, high-octane fun-times, but this one (a college-age series about the most Underdog of Underdog Track Teams) really takes its time building up the characters and environment, and chemistry between the dual opposites-attract leads is so heartwrenchingly beautiful. they complete each other! they love each other! what does it mean to run? why do we run even if we know we can't win?! the answers to these things are found within each other!!
Mob Psycho 100 (3 Seasons, Complete) -slapstick, drama, mindblowing action scenes--this is another one that needs a little time to start showing you what it is, but there's so much heart in this dang show. a hymn to all things mundane and ordinary, a rumination on the dangers of suppressing one's emotions, a story about a middle schooler who tries not to use his Unlimited Psychic Powers and a fraud exorcist who pretends to have powers but doesn't. absolutely worth the watch.
BONUS LIGHTNING ROUND
Shirobako (a stressfully/excellently accurate anime about the anime industry, the only cute-girls-doing-cute-things show I like), Keep Your Hands off Eizouken (weird girls making amateur anime in high school), Blue Period (for if you want to have an existential crisis about ART), Kaiji (Squid Game before Squid Game), The Great Pretenders (Robin Hood-ass confidence artists pulling off HEISTS), Haikyuu (my favorite younger-audiences sports anime, get hype for VOLLEYBALL), Beastars (the Furry One, gorgeous 3d animation, dark and weird and wild), and Neon Genesis Evangelion (surreal horror sci-fi/fantasy, "mechs" vs. apocalyptic "angels", I haven't seen it but it's a standard and also I've been told not to watch it while depressed)
ANYWAY thanks for receiving this absolute infodump, do what you will with it!!
Tumblr media
okay but honestly i didn't know cowboy bebop was one and done, i can commit to that

: : such sweet love
joshua x dokyeom, idolverse, fluff, est. relationship
2.4k words, no warnings
original work on ao3 | ib those photos they uploaded literally one after the other from their late night walk </3
summary: seungkwan goes on a walk with joshua and seokmin. he observes them, and marvels at the wonder of finding solace in someone who also finds solace in you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Seungkwan."
"No."
"Seungkwan-ah, you can't refuse your elders. Please."
"Shua-ssi, I can, and I will. I'm not coming with you guys."
"Pretty please?"
"No."
"Pretty pretty please with a cherry on top?"
"No. It's still a no."
It's Joshua, as it always is, causing him grief. Well, perhaps not always, but Seungkwan feels like whenever anything that's mildly inconveniencing him happens, it can always, somehow, be traced back to Chan or Soonyoung or Jeonghan or Joshua. The particularly exhausting things always seem to happen because of Joshua, actually. He wishes that sometimes his hyung would just stop doing these things, but, well. He's Joshua. There's no stopping him.
They're all currently in Japan, having flown there the night of their 8th anniversary for a fanmeeting, and normally, all the members are tired having gone through crowds of fans and airport security and flights and car rides. Normally people just want to stay inside and sleep or talk quietly together. That was what Seungkwan had been planning to do with Hansol, after all. And right now, it's the first evening after having landed, and instead of doing any of those things, Joshua wanted to go on a walk. And he was asking Seungkwan to join him.
And he would. Normally, Seungkwan would love to go on a walk with Joshua. It's calming, walking with him, his presence so soft and gentle-scented and comfortable. He would usually readily agree. But now, there's just one tiny, tiny complication.
Joshua was going on a walk with Seokmin. And he was asking him to join the both of them.
But Seungkwan is already in a relationship. And he loves it, partly because he loves Hansol, and partly because it means that he gets to do the third-wheeling to other people. He doesn't want to be someone else's third wheel.
"Boo, please," Joshua says, eyes sad. "I want to take nice photos. Of me! Seokmin and I won't do anything weird or overly affectionate, I promise."
Seungkwan shakes his head. "Hyung, just get Seokmin to take your photos for you."
"No, I want you to take them," Joshua whines, he actually whines, and now he's pouting at him. Oh god. "My Boo, do this for me, please? Please, do this for Shua hyung. I want you to take my photos, Boo."
Oh, he was pulling out all the stops to get Seungkwan to go. Doing aegyo and acting all sad and calling Seungkwan 'My Boo'. It's not fair. Why does he know that Seungkwan is weak for affectionate nicknames?
Seungkwan pretends to glare at Joshua for an incredibly long time, but Joshua just keeps looking at him all sadly and eventually, eventually his resolve crumbles. Not like there was all that much to begin with when it comes to his Joshua hyung.
"Fine," he says, sighing, and Joshua gives a small cheer. "Let's go."
"Aw, thank you Seungkwan! I love you so much." Joshua squishes him into a hug, and Seungkwan rolls his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, don't let your boyfriend hear you said that. Come on, let's get going. We don't have all night."
Seungkwan ends up taking zero photos.
Okay, that's a lie. Joshua does stick to his word and doesn't do anything overly affectionate with Seokmin, who'd greeted him with a bright beam and a hug when Joshua had said that he'd be joining them (what was it with this couple and crushing Seungkwan into hugs?) but that only lasted for a whole fifteen minutes.
He takes some pictures of Joshua over the bridge, and they actually come out really well, looking all sweet and soft and warm and he's very very satisfied with them.
And then, Seokmin wants pictures of himself taken over the bridge by Seungkwan too, and he complies, because this is basically the only reason he agreed to come on this walk anyway, and they turn out lovely, as one would expect from Seungkwan’s photography skills.
He also takes a couple of them together, and he feels a little like a professional photographer as he does so, instructing them not to look at the camera, Joshua-ssi, but to pretend the camera isn’t there. Joshua doesn’t listen, because he’s stubborn and annoying, but the photos look so good, and Seungkwan feels like maybe he could have fun on this walk.
But then. Oh, but then.
But then Seokmin takes out his phone, having ditched his camera for the walk to be able to hug his Shua hyung better (they'd actually planned to do as much PDA as possible, they really were little rats) and all hope of not being a third wheel is abandoned.
The thing is. Seungkwan loves these two. Both Joshua and Seokmin. They're people who are incredibly precious to him, and who he loves and appreciates and adores so much. They're some of the people who are most able to comfort him when he has a terrible day, and he can look at them and smile and feel his shoulders become a little lighter as the weight of worries are lifted when the ruffle his hair or crush him in hugs or tell him how well he's done. And it's even better that they've found such a deep love with each other, as well. That's something incredible.
But when Seokmin is making cooing sounds at his boyfriend and making Joshua laugh and smile so wide while he's taking photos of him on the steps of some fancy building, it's all Seungkwan can do to stop himself from bashing his head against the light-up steps until he ceases to exist anymore.
Joshua is just so, so devastatingly fond of Seokmin, and it makes his heart ache to look at. Even though Seungkwan also has a boyfriend himself.
He's just smiling, the entire time, unable to look at Seokmin or the phone lense properly without breaking into such a wide grin and it makes it impossible for him to possibly do anything else.
"Hyung! Oh, hyung, you look so cool! Yes, oh, this is so boyfriend, this is incredible, you're incredible, I love this!" Seokmin is basically just gushing out nonsense as he takes continuous pictures of his boyfriend, and his eyes are sparkling, even in the dark, and it's obvious how in love he is with Joshua.
Makes Seungkwan miss Hansol a little, actually. Even though he hasn't actually gone anywhere.
"Shua hyung, lean forward a little bit—oh yes. Yes, that's perfect. You look so good, hyung, this is amazing!"
Joshua is properly blushing now, and Seungkwan knows his ears are probably on fire despite the fact that they're covered by his hair. He's growing out his hair again, because Seokmin loves his shaggy hair, loves calling Joshua is lovely puppy hyung, and so Joshua is doing it because it makes Seokmin happy. Yet more proof of how fond Joshua is of him.
Seokmin finishes taking photos, and Joshua slings his bag over his shoulder to walk over to him, peering over at his phone and making exclamations on Seokmin's photography, claiming how good it is. They promptly switch places, and now Joshua is the one taking photos of Seokmin, and he’s cooing over his boyfriend too, and then they’re taking photos of each other at the same time, smiling and laughing and Seungkwan just stands beside a bench on the opposite side of the path, sighing.
So much for Seungkwan taking Joshua's pictures.
It takes a little bit of yelling on Seungkwan’s part, but eventually they’re continuing on their walk, Joshua and Seokmin both bending over Seokmin's phone, and it's like he's ceased to exist. This is precisely the reason he didn't want to come, Seungkwan thinks, shaking his head as he trots after them. He was going to basically end up being a ghost.
"Oh, your shirt looks so good in this light," Seokmin is saying. "Looking all smooth and shiny and silky! You have good style, hyung, where did you get it from?"
"If you want me to compliment you, just say so," Joshua chuckles. "No need to fish for compliments, you brat."
Seokmin just laughs, head tilted back, arm around Joshua's shoulders. "Okay, in that case, my shirt looks really good on you doesn't it, hyung? Do you like it? Is it nice?"
"It's lovely, Seokmin-ah," Joshua says, and Seungkwan can hear the sweetness dripping from his tone, all loving and unintentional and just undeniably there, even though he's walking behind them. "You're so lovely. I love you."
Then he's leaning in to press a kiss to Seokmin's cheek, and even though it's such a ridiculously cringy situation, they do it so simply and affectionately that Seungkwan can't help but smile at them.
And then speed up a little so he can walk past them as they stop in the middle of the empty street to look at Seokmin's phone some more. He doesn't want to be associated with the couple engaging in cute (gross) PDA in the middle of the night, thank you very much.
After a few moments, though, he turns to look back at them as he walks, slowing down a little because. Well, he does love them and doesn't want to abandon them, and also he doesn't want to get lost. He'll deny it if Soonyoung says anything, but his sense of direction is just a tiny bit terrible.
They've stopped in the middle of the path and are taking pictures together now, because of course they are, because they're basically on a late night date walk (plus Seungkwan) and they're in Japan and everything looks beautiful. Of course they'd want to capture this moment of them together. (Plus Seungkwan. Why is he even here?)
It's Joshua taking pictures, and Seokmin is teasing him about his lack of change of facial expression, and Joshua is nudging him in the side, and Seungkwan knows the selfies are going to turn out blurry, but Joshua will save all of them all the same.
And then he's turning the camera around, and Seokmin slings an arm around his hyung's shoulders, asking why he's doing that, and Joshua is leaning back against him so relaxed and natural that it's like they belong in each other's embrace.
They look so sweet, so lovely and loving that Seungkwan is opening up his own phone camera to take a photo of them.
Joshua is replying something stupid to Seokmin's question, saying something about how it makes his arms look longer and his face teeny tiny, and Seokmin gets caught off-guard by the weird and ridiculous answer, the hand around Joshua's shoulders half-raised into a peace sign while Joshua is winking at the camera and smiling and Seokmin—
Seokmin's mouth is stretched into the beginnings of a smile that looks like he's going to burst into endeared laughter and that's the moment Seungkwan captures with his phone, the love and happiness frozen in that one frame, forever there, but in real life, time is moving on and Seokmin is throwing his head back and his peace sign is fully formed and Joshua is no longer winking but grinning adoringly up at his boyfriend, and Seungkwan's heart kind of aches.
It aches with love for these two, aches with happiness and joy because they've managed to find such solace and peace and contentment in each other, and they've managed to live and swim through time while still holding that same sweet adoration. If he were to take a picture of them, again, while Joshua has a hand around Seokmin's waist and Seokmin is leaning his head against Joshua's, the same amount of love and happiness would radiate from the frame, and that is something so fascinating and wonderful.
So that's what he does. Seungkwan doesn't normally let himself quietly stand on the sidelines, but he does it now, content with watching them act so sweet and in love while he looks on and observes and encourages the beautiful, beautiful love story that they're creating together. His phone is up to his face, and he's smiling, looking at his screen as frame after frame of adoration is captured.
They don't even seem to notice, which makes it even better, and he takes photo after photo as they stumble together, into each other, with each other, smiling and blushing and kissing cheekbones and foreheads and noses, linking hands in hands or hair or waists. Seungkwan is smiling, too, just watching them, and he wonders how incredible it is to feel such love while watching others in love.
They're walking again, slowly, towards him, and Seokmin is pointing out that Joshua has his bag strap on weirdly and he's pulling it over his head for him, adjusting it and making sure it hangs neatly. Joshua is awwing at him, calling him adorable and gentlemanly and sweet and Seokmin is smiling, saying of course, he's always a gentleman, and that makes Joshua chuckle.
And then they look up at him, and something about Seungkwan's expression must give away how adorable he finds them, because Joshua just smiles wider and Seokmin waves. Seungkwan smiles back, waving too, and waits until they're close enough to hear him before walking on ahead.
"You guys are so cute. It's disgusting."
That makes Joshua laugh, and he still has Seokmin's arms around his shoulders, holding his hand as it dangles against his collarbone, and it's so sweet and domestic and comfortable that Seungkwan can't help but shake his head.
"Aw, don't be so mean! It's our debut anniversary, you can't be mean to us," Joshua says, making him roll his eyes.
"Yeah, well, it's my debut anniversary too," Seungkwan points out, "So I can say what I like. Come on, let's get going. I have places to be, you know."
"What places?" Seokmin asks, but Seungkwan doesn’t even look back at him, speeding down the path.
"Uh, my bed? Stop cuddling with each other and continue walking!"
He's pretending to be annoyed, all dramatic sighs and exaggerated groans, but as he glances over his shoulder at the couple as they walk leisurely through the silent streets, hand in hand, bumping shoulders and laughing together and Joshua leaning into Seokmin's shoulder while Seokmin rests his cheek atop Joshua's hair, Seungkwan can't help but smile again.
He's just so happy that they've managed to find such sweet love in one another.

Long-time pine Seddie
I was going to write this as an actual fanfic but now I feel like I'm never gonna finish it, so here you go the concept:
Eddie knows about King Steve and as much as he hates it, he also understands why all the girls like him.
Steve doesn't know who Eddie is... at least at first.
Here's all I had written till now:
Notes:
I'm literally at the water park right now and i felt OBLIGATED to write this istf if i had to ride the ride that my frs wanted i would have DIED
Eddie Munson wasn't the type of guy who would go to the water park at a quarter to ten. But there was a 5 dollar discount if you go before ten o'clock on a Monday, so here he was. Freshman year; in the longest swim trunks he could find, a tee-shirt and putting his sweat glands to work. If it sounded dreadful, it was probably because it was.
"Dude, why are we even here?" Eddie whined.
"Why are you complaining so much. You agreed to come after all!" Gareth said annoyed.
Jeff nodded "Just take off your shirt and maybe you'll stop complaining about the heat. Swim a little, try some of the rides. It'll be fun!"
"There's like... people around and stuff."
"And?" Gareth asked pointedly.
"No one is wearing a shirt Eddie, relax. What's the big deal anyway?"
Gareth shoved Jeff's shoulder "Maybe the girl he's been crushing on is here and he's embarrassed!"
Eddie blushed. "Dude, gross!" There was no girl. Him and a Jeff traded glances. This was the worst, change the subject! "Plus it's totally normal to wear a shirt!" Eddie tried to look for a way out. He started looking in the growing number of people someone with a shirt that wasn't in the act of taking it off. His eyes land on the lifeguard - some brunet guy who had his back turned to them. "See?" He pointed. "It's common."
Gareth only rolled his eyes as Jeff let out an exasperated sigh. "He's the fucking lifeguard." Gareth said "You know- you know what dude, whatever. Do what you want, we're gonna go hit the water slides."
Eddie would have felt a little bad for missing out on the time with his friends, but he was too busy feeling relieved that he didn't have to do anything. It was embarrassing enough that he had started school one year later than everyone and he'd been older since first grade. Now had to show said old and weird-looking body to all these people? No way in hell would that happen. He wasn't normal in too many aspects, he wasn't ready to be abnormal to his friends as well. How did this place fill up so fast anyway? There were way too many people.
He looked back at the lifeguard to give his mental thanks but when he did, he felt himself freeze. He recognized him. In fact, he had been spending the past few years avoiding him. (Granted - it wasn't that hard, considering they weren't in the same class, same year perhaps, but not same class.)
Captain of the swim team, the school's "star athlete" and girls' all time favorite boy: King Steve "the hair" Harrington. Tommy H. and Carol's lapdog. Disgusting.
Steve was the type of guy that would bully him for living with his uncle at the trailer park. The type to shove him in the lockers because of what he liked, whether it be music, or people, or other things. He was definitely one of the people who started calling him "the freak"... Well... Eddie had never met Steve personally, or seen Steve doing any of the things listed, but he was sure Steve matched that description perfectly. After all, that was his type of clique.
Eddie must have glared in his detection for a moment too much because Steve turned his head to meet his gaze. Before Eddie could turn his head and pretend not to be looking Steve save him a polite tight-lipped smile and an upward nod. The one u would give to the old grumpy man down the street that you've never met before. Or a kid that you've only seen twice in the school halls, which was the case for them. But none of that mattered. What did matter was that Eddie didn't want to be in "the King"s rance of sight.
He moved.
Eddie had almost fallen asleep on one of those beach lounge chairs, when this agitating voice woke him up.
"Hey man." Eddie opened his eyes to see Steve fucking Harington throwing shade his way. Was he going to bully him? Or kick him out? "Don't wanna wake you up but you're gonna burn."
What?
"What?"
Steve ignored the question. "The park store's open, go get some sun screens if you don't have any." He popped the unopened can in his hand and took a sip.
Eddie was too puzzled by what had happened to notice Steve had already walked over to his chair - looking bored as ever, scanning the area as if he didn't just talk to the one everyone treated like the plague.
Eddie couldn't fall asleep after that. Maybe it was because his mind was rushing with questions. Maybe it was because there was something in the way Steve slumped over his chair and occasionally blew his whistle to tell some kids not to throw the inflatable donuts or whatever they were called. Maybe it was the fact that he looked so... normal? down to earth? human. But the thought of the school's King made Eddie something uneasy settle in the pit of his stomach.
Three days later he went to the pool again.
What was he thinking? He wasn't even with his friends, he had no intentions of getting in the water and to top it off there was no discount so he wasted money he didn't have. That's right, he wasn't thinking. Unlike Steve who was a lifeguard just for fun, Eddie didn't come from money so he had to save up from birthdays or unspent lunch cash.
Still, he had to come again. Because, if not knowing why he couldn't get an annoying rich brat off his mind kept him up at night, his eye bags would keep on growing.
Eddie couldn't help but shift and look around for a certain employee there. With his Munson misfortune, he couldn't see Steve anywhere. He really wasn't thinking coming here like some weirdo to look for someone who didn't even recognize him. It was a bad thing that Steve didn't recognize him, in fact it was property for the better. He got up to leave.
It was hot, he was sweating and he didn't want to be here.
He absentmindedly bumped into someone turning his head quickly to see who it was. Brown styled hair- could it be?
"Sorry dude." the stranger said.
It wasn't Steve. What the hell was wrong with Eddie why was he so hell-bent on this asshole? That was it. He wasn't going to think about him anymore. No more idiocy.
This was the last time he was going to think about Steve.
That was not the last time he thought about Steve.
(I'll post summarized how I would have continued it later)
