God of War: Heimes Week 2023!!!!!!
Tumblr media
HELLO CONTENT CREATORS AND ABSORBERS!!!! Do you like Hermes from GodOfWar 3 and also perhaps Heimdall from GodOfWar Ragnarok? Do you also like when they are TOGETHER????? Well GOOD NEWS!!!! I AM HERE to announce a wonderful festivity; HEIMES WEEK! A silly little week where epic content creators (such as yourselves) in the God of War fandom who enjoy seeing and/or enjoy making Heimes content (or have even always wanted to make content for it but needed a silly excuse) can opt in to be prompted for inspo seven days in a row. I'm really bad at intros can't you tell??? Anyways let's get into the DESSERT!!!
From April 23rd to April 29th, for 7 days in a row, each day will be dedicated to a different Heimes shipping prompt!!!
💟💟💟READ BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS💟💟💟
Heimes Week is hosted by yours truly @medievildead!!!! And first off, HUGE THANK YOU for helping me out with the banner, to the incredibly talented @romaine-arts (lineart) and @silvergoldraeven (colours)
Each day has TWO prompts to choose from. Options were left available so people who partake can have more creative liberties with the prompts. Each day you can choose one prompt or the other to take inspiration from, or even combine the two, or maybe even just do both separately, or you can do neither!
You aren't obligated to participate, nor are the people who do participate obligated to participate the entire week! You can do two days and just opt out if it gets overwhelming, or you can often Midway through the week and just do them at your own liberty, whatever you want to do. As long as you're having fun and happy!!!!!
💕THE DAILY PROMPTS;
❥❥❥
Day 1: First Kiss/Last Kiss
Starting out simple, prompt is first kiss. Doesn't have to be exactly a first kiss, can be a first confession, a first date, a first anything . First time they realize they have feelings for each other, even! Whatever floats your boat! Or, last kiss. Make it sweet! Make it angsty! Make it bittersweet! Do what ya like!
Day 2: Sacred Animals/Mythological Creatures
Rams and Roosters and Hawks! Selkies and Satyrs and Dragons, even!!!! Whatever creatures come to mind in regards to incorporating sacred animals (because hey, these two share a couple!) or mythological creatures somehow. Hey, doesn't even have to be creatures from their respective mythologies!
Day 3: Meet the Family/Culture Shock
Meeting the family isn't always easy especially when both of your families control entire pantheons! Something about them not getting along with each other's fathers, or even getting along with each other siblings? Or vice versa? Or you can even go with the culture shock root, them introducing one another to each other's cultures. Be it clothes or food or customs and traditions!
Day 4: Personality Swap/Gender swap
Breaking ship week tradition if we don't include this one, either a personality swap of one or both, Heimdall being a pushy flirt and Hermes being a prude? Or a gender swap of one or both. We love women in this house. Get serious or get goofy with whatever you think of!
Day 5: Crossover/Alternate Universe
Have you ever wanted to see these two in your favorite other media? Or perhaps you have an alternate universe where they are already existing in a certain other reality? Maybe you wanted to see them in the Elder Scrolls universe, or them in a Modern AU, or them with a Pokemon team. Show us what ya got! Go hog wild!
Day 6: Under the stars/Above the sky
Under the stars, stargazing or snuggling at night or doing anything really, indoors or outdoors, together or apart, or above the sky standing upon something tall or taking flight or whatever however you wanna take this and go about it in a bittersweet or not way. Combine the two of you want even (you don't have to)! Get poetic or get silly! Wheee!!
Day 7: Sparring/Choose your own!
Lastly but not leastly we have sparring! Doesn't have to be with each other if you don't want, they can be sparring or fighting something Side by side! Showing off their powers to each other, etc. Or, you can just choose your own! Come up with your own idea, or maybe there was a prompt from one of the previous days that you chose not to do over the other option and you want to return to it! Completely fine! Have as much fun and be as creative as your heart desires!
❥❥❥
HOW TO PARTICIPATE;
Literally just go for it! There's no entry form, or hoops you have to jump through. Genuinely just REBLOG AND WRITE IN THE TAGS or COMMENT ON THIS POST that you intend on partaking (even briefly!) on the day of April 23rd, post your day one creation that day and tag it with #HeimesWeek2023 !!!!!
Reason we ask people to also say directly here if they're partaking is because sometimes tumblr is a bit of a nightmare and doesn't show posts in tags right away all the time, and we don't want to miss anything that you guys create for it!!!!!
Still, everything we see posted in the tag or by blogs who partake will be reblogged here at @heimesweek, so we have a nice little Hub to Showcase ALL of the awesome things that people make.
OUR INBOX IS OPEN for any questions people might have regarding this!!! But BEFORE YOU ASK;
"I want to participate but my art isn't as good as others/I'm still new!"
Whether or not you think your art is good compared to others is irrelevant, any art or content created for this week is all the same in my eyes. It is members of this community having fun and pitching in to make content for a silly little ship that makes us all happy! And whether you're a digital artist or traditional artist, you're just starting out or have been drawing for a long time, we are just excited to see it all the same. We would love to see what you come up with and how you get inspired!
"I want to participate but I'm afraid I'll opt out halfway through/not meet up to standards!"
Literally cannot stress enough as I did before, you are not obligated to participate the entire week if you do opt in. Heck, you only have to participate one day if you want to. Or you can just take the prompts and be absolutely sporadic with them at your own leisure. This week is about having fun and making content that makes you happy! Making others happy is just an amazing bonus!
"I want to participate but I'm not an artist, I'm a writer/editor/headcanon blog!"
That's TOTALLY FINE AND COOL! I love reading, we love reading and checking out edits, especially the cool stuff that a lot of the writers in this fandom create. I know a lot of amazing writers who do reader and OC content in the tags and a lot of it is just as amazing as a lot of the fan art that I see. If you want to take each day and use them for a writing prompt or editing prompt instead of a drawing prompt, you are absolutely welcome to be my guest. I would love to see some of the stuff that you come up with based on the prompts. And there's never enough Heimes fanfiction anyway!!! They don't have to be long bits of writing either! You are not expected to meet any margin, it can be a ficlet or it can be 5,000 words if you truly want to pour your heart out. You don't have to reach a certain amount of letters each day. One day can be a long thick, the next day can be a short thick, you can do art one day and writing another day. You can do both. The world is your oyster!
"I won't be participating, but I know some of my mutuals/followers who might want to. May I still reblog this post?"
ABSOLUTELY!!!! SPREAD THE WORD IF YOU WANT TO!!!! PLEASE BY ALL MEANS!!! THE MORE THE MERRIER!!!! 💕💕💕💕 Share it! Reblog it! Please! We love to see it!!!! WOOOOO!!!!
"I was wondering if it was okay if I instead submit my contributions directly instead of posting them on my blog!"
Of course it's okay!!!!!! I know plenty of people who prefer to keep fan content separate from their blog, as well as people who prefer not to post their art on Tumblr but still come to the site to observe, and perhaps even want to participate! You are absolutely more than welcome to submit your contributions for the daily prompts here. The only demand is that if you submit any artwork or writing or any contributions to the promps in this way, is that you provide a link/mention to your tumblr or other social media so that due credit is given!***
Thats about all there is to be said as of now. Any important updates will be posted to this blog Other than that, WE HOPE TO SEE YOU FOR HEIMES WEEK!!!!!!!
***Please note that all accounts that link back to, are connected with, or are owned by users that post inappropriate or suggestive content featuring underage characters will be blocked, submissions of any kind sent by these users will be deleted, and any posts published to the heimesweek tags by said users will be completely ignored. This event is intended to be safe for work fanworks that can be created for and observed by users of all ages, so we do ask that any and all who post that kind of content please do not interact. AKA;

Date with the Patron:
Museum: his favorite dating spot. He has a good relation with many museum curators and the staff, making it so that he can "reserve" the museum at night for special occasions. That being, bringing one of his beloved muses with him will be a big step for him. He only invites those who has been kind and compassionate towards him despite... well... everything.
In this setting, he'll be much more open to reveal things about himself. He'll be wearing a face mask instead of his usual one. He'll talk to you about his favorite pieces and the story behind them. He looks in his element here. Happy, relaxed and excited.
-
Elegant restaurant: a nice little private spot is specially reserved for the both of you when you arrive. A nice bottle of wine/or any beverage you enjoy will be waiting. He'll want to hear everything you have to say. No need to know about him or talk about himself. All eyes on you, love. His go to for well-behaved muses or dates in general.
-
Romantic boat: he'll rent a boat and go all victorian/edwardian row boat recreation in here. Make sure to bring a parasol with you and seeds to feed the ducks and swans.
-
Beach gazebo: romantic picnic/dinner at the beach? Fairy lights? The lull of the waves? Soft Ambience music? Perhaps stargazing? Walking long walks by the beach?
-
Planetarium outing: be prepared for him to explain in detail about the story of each constellation. The people will think he is a tour guide who specializes in stars with how knowledgeable he is. He'll hold your hand (if you allow him) during the entire date. Will buy you anything you'd like in the gift shop.
-
Amusement park: this one will be the one he'll hesitate the most on doing. He dislikes big crowds and too much loud noises tend to disorient him but he has always loved the entire vibes of the Amusement park. His godfather brought him a few times (in secret from his parents) and would allow him to stuff his face with cotton candy, popcorn and win him stuffed animals. He has fond memories... he just wants to for at least a few hours, let his inner kid out. He'll win you all the stuffed toys you want.
In both the boat, amusement park and planetarium date he'll wear a facemask too because... the full mask looks to... out of place. He also doesn't tend to eat when on a date unless his muse is willing to not stare at him till he is finished eating.

ZEPHYR BAY BEACH BONANZA
Tumblr media
Join us for a week long celebration of the grand opening of Zephyr Bay! With summer so close we can taste it, now is the perfect time for everyone to have fun in the sun, build up that base tan, and enjoy the mild costal weather of the Northeast shore. There will be activities going on each day, so if you miss out on some of the shenanigans, don't worry! We have plenty of things to keep you busy (and a reason to keep procrastinating unpacking...).
DATES: Saturday, May 27 until Friday, June 2
For the full itinerary and list of activities, take a look under the cut!
ITINERARY:
Saturday — all day food trucks and drink vendors to satisfy your stomach with a bonfire starting after dusk; if you're the outdoorsy type, pitch your tent on the shore and sleepover!
Sunday — morning "hangover cleanse" yoga and a day filled with your favorite beach games, like bocce ball, volleyball, frisbee and more!
Monday — go horseback riding along the shoreline or take a boat trip out on the harbor to fish or simply enjoy the ocean with a drink in hand
Tuesday — Starlight Boardwalk is offering half price admission all day Tuesday, with a special summer fireworks show at the end of the evening
Wednesday — the planetarium staff will be set up on the beach with their telescopes for an educational evening filled with stargazing over the open ocean
Thursday — a few locals have agreed to give surfing lessons, and there will be jet skis and private boats for rent for tubing and other water sports
Friday — end the week with a low key, relaxed beach picnic; stop by anytime to grab your complimentary meal and socialize with your new neighbors, then grab a drink and party it up for the rest of the night with live music and entertainment!
GENERAL ACTIVITIES:
Between special events happening exclusively during the beach bonanza, it's a great time to explore the harbor and beach and all it has to offer! Below is a list of locations and general activities that can be enjoyed during the week outside of the events specific to our welcome week extravaganza!
Need some grub? Or maybe your sweet tooth is kicking in? We have a few recommendations! If you're more of a bruncher, The Hen's Nest has a great selection of brunch favorites, including bottomless mimosas! Honey Do has a wide variety of pastries, cookies, cakes, and other tasty treats to sate that sugar craving. Spritz Fish House provides one of the most upscale dining experiences in town, with seating on the harbor – perfect for a romantic first date to impress!
If you're more in the market for a straight drink, we've got you covered. Happy Hooligans may look like a dive, but don't let its appearance fool you – they serve great cocktails and seasonal beer while also offering a small menu of greasy but delightful seafood favorites like fish & chips and fried shrimp! Southbound Brewing Authority brings the best beer game in town, with a plethora of seasonally rotating draft beers as well as their set collection of house made brews. And if you're feeling more partial to something that won't get you buzzed, Purrfect Cup Café is a great way to spend an afternoon. Their coffee is amazing, but even more exciting is this cat café's furry residents looking for their forever homes!
There is plenty of shopping around the harbor, but we have some fan favorites we know our residents are sure to enjoy. Scratched offers used and new vinyls for that record player you still haven't set up in your living room. For the plant parents of town, Terracotta Pot has everything you need to start your summer garden and prepare for harvest season in the fall. Last but certainly not least is Zephyr Bay's Farmer's Market, where you can peruse rows upon rows of farm fresh fruits and veggies, flowers, honey, and homemade goodies like jams and pickles!
If you're looking to blow off some steam or find a sports team to join, Runner's High Intramural Sports Complex boasts multiple sports fields including the highly sought after pickle ball! If you're more of an indie music aficionado, check out Revolution Street, where local bands play every night. We saved the best for last – Starlight Boardwalk could keep you (and your kids, if you have them) busy for days. Play all your favorite fair games, take a ride on the tilt-a-whirl or any of the other amusement park rides, and stop by one of the many food stalls and trucks for fried dough, roasted turkey legs, and other fair food faves!

June 18th is coming as the first anniversary of Luca releasing on Disney Plus
I want to add to this and say that on June 18th, that's the day Luca and Giulia return to Portorosso on the train from Genova
So every anniversary, we can imagine Luca and Giulia jumping off the train as it's pulling into station, Giulia running up and hugging Massimo, as Alberto runs up to Luca and they hug each other. Then the kids proudly share their report cards to their families, share their best moments and stories that school year over a lunch of pasta, and the kids spend the rest of the day biking, swimming, eating gelato, annoying Ercole, and other summer activities. I imagine that night they have a sleepover at Alberto's hideout, stargazing as they try to convince Alberto to join them at school next year, but Alberto doesn't need school cause he's already an expert with a job.
Which reminds me, Giulia and Luca will also pick up their summer jobs, Giulia assisting Massimo and Alberto at the family business, and Luca going back to goatfish herding. They do have days off to play and be kids though, and if they don't get the same days off, Luca will help Alberto and Giulia at their store, and Alberto and Giulia will help Luca with herding (most likely with Giulia in the diving suit in that case).
They'll also run the Portorosso Cup, especially if Ercole tries to win back his title. The roles will be reversed, as Ercole will have to struggle on his own, while the Underdogs work as a team. They may also replace the swimming portion with something to make it fair for all contestants, or claim sea monsters can't participate in the swimming portion due to their unfair advantage, or maybe sea monsters would have to row a boat or run underwater in a diving suit as an alternative

For Now, For Always
~1830 words. Sora/Kairi. Set twenty years after KH3. Kairi POV. Slight Angst, Romance, Fluff. For SoKai Week 2022, Day 1: Anniversary.
Summary: Sora and Kairi revisit old haunts to celebrate their relationship. Though some moments are lost to time, others will stay with them forever. 
Tumblr media
Meet me at the beach, said the little note clutched in Kairi’s hand. A sudden breeze picked up, and she clung to the straw hat shielding her head. The late afternoon sun blazed down on the sand as the waves crashed against the shore. They lapped against the dock like playful creatures nipping at the soaked wood. 
Riku had unexpectedly stopped by the house a half hour ago to whisk the kids away, leaving her with the cryptic note. On the note was also a suggestion to wear a swimsuit and bring a change of clothes. So here she was, wearing her favorite swimsuit, one of Sora’s loose t-shirts, a wraparound skirt, and sandals. Her hair was swept into a ponytail and sunglasses protected her eyes. 
Days like this it was obvious she was not from Destiny Islands originally. The sun was brutal on her fair complexion, turning her from pale to burnt lobster to “how many freckles will fit on a square inch of skin” in a matter of hours. As she’d gotten older, she’d taken more precautions to protect herself from the relentless heat, hence her current getup. But the years of sun showed in her face now, at the corners of her eyes when she smiled, with the creases in her brow. 
Well, it was only natural. Everyone aged. The passage of time was as relentless as the waves beating against the shore, taking a piece of the islands with them each time. 
A long, loud whistle sounded out from behind her, and she flushed and grinned. Turning around, she saw her husband. In true Sora fashion, he was wearing a ridiculously colorful, unbuttoned islander shirt with hibiscuses on it, swim shorts, sandals, and sunglasses. 
The kids would groan about how he was such a dad, but somehow he was making the look work. Especially with that big grin on his face. 
“Hey, hot stuff,” he said. “You busy tonight?” 
“Depends,” she teased. “Do you know how to show a girl a good time?”
He gave her a wink. “You know I do.” 
“Then show me.” 
He reached for her hand and led her down the dock to their rowboat. Even after all this time, holding his hand still made her feel like a giddy, lovesick teenager.
“So, where are we going?” she asked as they settled into the swaying boat. 
Sora grabbed the oars and began rowing. “It’s a surprise.” With each stroke, they put more and more distance between them and the dock. She smiled at him and sighed. This brought back memories of all the other times he’d taken her on dates in his rowboat.
“Is this date gonna last all night?” she asked presently, curling a stray strand of hair around her finger as she admired the sun glinting on his chest and the muscles rippling in his arms. She sure hoped it would.
He grinned that wonderfully playful grin of his. “If you want it to.” 
“So the kids—”
“Are in good hands until tomorrow morning. You can rest easy.”
Kairi relaxed. It was hard not to fret about them even though she knew they were fine. Part of being a parent and all. Even though she wanted to spend alone time with Sora, they were always at the back of her mind. 
“Thank you,” she said, and he got that soft but intense look in his eyes he sometimes did. Even now that look made it hard for her to focus on anything else, and for once, she didn’t have to. 
Before long, the shores of the Play Island came into view. Their own little unspoiled paradise, brimming with moments long gone and possibilities yet to come. 
“Everything always leads us back to here, doesn’t it?” she said as they tied the boat to the dock. 
“It’s why I brought you here.” He helped her disembark, and on the beach was a tent for two, the makings of a cozy campfire, a cooler full of food and drinks, and blankets for stargazing. 
“You really went all out,” she said as she took in his preparations. 
“‘Course I did, it’s our anniversary.” 
She tilted her head, her hand going to her ring. “No it isn’t, that’s on—”
He smiled and looked past her. “Not that anniversary. It’s been twenty years, can you believe it?” 
“Twenty years since what?” 
He rested a hand over his heart. “What, you don’t remember? I’m shocked, Kairi, shocked and hurt.” His twitching lips indicated otherwise. 
Twenty years ago… They would’ve been fifteen… Oh, that anniversary. She smiled and bit her lip. Did he have something special planned to recreate it? 
“C’mon,” he said, reaching for her hand again. First they went to where the old raft was kept and sailed around on a new one Sora had made for the occasion. Then they enjoyed a nice swim before drying off and racing each other along the beach just like old times. They weren’t as fast or as limber as they once were, but it was still fun. Sora won, then chased her around until they collapsed into a breathless pile on the sand. That led to tickling and giggling and ended with him hovering over her. 
The sun sank low over the water, and Sora gazed into her eyes. His breathing was uneven and hers was too. The moments of silence like this said more than words could sometimes. They knew each other so well that they didn’t have to speak, they could just enjoy being with each other. 
He closed his eyes and kissed her, and she kissed him back. The years faded away and brought her to the moment he’d first kissed her. What a precious memory that was. She treasured it deep in heart, and the time that had passed, the thousands of kisses they’d shared since then, only made the memory more lovely, more wonderful, more beautiful. 
He smiled at her, a smile that made her weak and her heart melt. A smile with a soft, loving look in his eyes that still took her breath away. 
“Come with me,” he said softly, then helped her to her feet. The sunset sky was beautiful, and it was difficult to make out where it ended and the sea began because the two were touching at the horizon. 
He led her to the paopu tree and they sat on it together. Then he reached behind him and pulled out two pieces of juicy yellow paopu fruit.
“On this day twenty years ago,” he began, “you took a leap of faith and offered to share the paopu fruit with me. And what did I do? Stared at you with my mouth gaping open like a fish in true Sora fashion.”
Kairi giggled into her hand. She had caught him by surprise, so his reaction wasn’t shocking. 
“Once I recovered from my surprise,” he continued, “I quickly sobered up. Like any teenage boy, I freaked out a little at the thought of making such a big commitment as ‘intertwining destinies’ and ‘remaining a part of each other’s lives no matter what.’ What if I wasn’t ready? What if we changed our minds down the line?” 
“Fifteen is an awfully young age to make a forever commitment,” she agreed. Her younger self was brash and just went for what she wanted. And a good thing too in this case, because the paopu fruit really had worked. But she knew most people didn’t wind up with their childhood sweethearts. She and Sora were the exception, not the rule.
“Then other questions popped into my head,” he said. “What if I couldn’t be there for you? What if I couldn’t keep my promise?” 
She smiled sadly. Even after all these years the scars from their old wounds lingered. 
“But then I realized, all my fear and doubt wasn’t because I wasn’t serious about you,” he said. “It was because I was completely serious about you. And I swore to myself that I would keep you safe. That I would be there for you. That I would keep my promise to you. And that was when I knew I was ready to share the fruit with you and put that promise into words.” 
He offered her a paopu fruit now, and she took it from him. The lines and calluses in his hand were a silent testament to time. 
“Kairi, I’ll keep you safe,” he said softly, echoing his words from so long ago. Many of the little details of their lives were lost to time, tattered and trampled by its relentless march, but some memories would always remain. 
“Let me keep you safe.” She felt then as she felt now. Their love was ever new, evergreen. She would always love him as surely as the sun would rise and set again. And it would set for good, someday. Someday sooner than either of them would like. But that just meant it was even more important to treasure every moment together. 
She lifted her piece of fruit to his mouth, but he didn’t lift his piece. Not yet. His hand was trembling and his eyes were filled with tears. They looked so beautiful in the evening light, as boundless as the sky and as deep as the sea. 
“Sora?” she gently asked. 
“Are you ever so happy you’re sad?” he asked, smiling through his tears. “I know it sounds crazy, but—”
She shook her head. “It’s not crazy at all. Sometimes I wonder, are joy and sorrow just two sides of the same coin?” 
They’d both cried out of joy before—at their wedding, at the birth of their kids, at the renewal of their vows. In those moments it was strange how close joy felt to sorrow. At how her heart ached because she was so happy. 
“I think they are,” he said. “And when I feel like this, I get the sense we’re meant for something so much more. Loving each other just gives us a sweet taste of it.” 
“Yeah,” she said, smiling through her tears. “Maybe that’s why the paopu fruit works. Connecting our hearts and souls and bodies through a physical vow.” 
“Then let’s do it again. Kairi, I swear on my life to love and cherish you,” he said, his voice breaking. “For now, for always.”
Tears dripped down her cheeks at hearing the words from their wedding vows. “And I swear on my life to love and cherish you, Sora. For now, for always.” 
With that he smiled and lifted his piece to her mouth, and she lifted her piece to his mouth. They took a bite at the same time, recreating the cave drawing and the vow they’d sworn to each other so many years ago. Echoing the words from their wedding day. Getting a sweet taste of what their hearts longed for. 
It all led back to this place, this fruit, this moment. For now, for always. Whatever life threw at them, their love would endure. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N: The title of this fic is based on the song For Now, For Always written by the Sherman Brothers and sung by Maureen O’Hara in the 1961 version of The Parent Trap. The song just always really stood out to me for being so bittersweet and beautiful, and the lyrics feel really SoKai-in-a-few-decades to me. And now I finally got an excuse to write a SoKai fic based explicitly on the words to the song. Also, shoutout to @angel-with-a-pipette​ for the inspiration for Sora’s wardrobe a;lsdkfj we all know he’d rock the Hawaiian shirt look.
Thank you for reading!

💝 - What's their love language?
🌹 - If asked to define love what would your muse say?
💮 - Is your muse the possessive or super jealous type?
🌸 - What's their idea of a perfect date?
Let's talk about romance! Muse questions
💝 - What's their love language?
Obedience and submission. And self-improvement. Or a combination of these depending on the relation she has. Nunnally would like to make the person she loves happy. She would attempt to please the beloved one, fulfil their wishes, make sure that things are how they like.  Both for big things and tiny ones. In an unhealthy relationship, she would see her partner to be her Master. In a healthy relationship (which she is definitely capable of), it would be similar, but she would be more selfish, have clear boundaries and expect her partner to care to.
🌹 - If asked to define love what would your muse say?
Love it’s striving for someone’s happiness. If you love someone, you want to make them happy.  To give the everything you have and more. You want to keep that person close, talk with them, explore and discuss things, visit places together, read and play together. Laugh together. Hold hands together. If you love somebody, it’s that person who you think when you wake up and before you fall asleep.  
💮 - Is your muse the possessive or super jealous type?
Nunnally is neither too possessive nor really jealous. Although the beloved one would be very important for her, she understands the need for freedom, and would give freedom to them. It is very likely, that she would also ask for (some) freedom for herself no matter how healthy (or unhealthy) her relationship would be. After all loving and being loved would not end her devotion for Karlheinz. Most likely, anyway.
🌸 - What's their idea of a perfect date?
A rowing boat in the middle of the pond or river. In a garden, in the park or perhaps even in wilder scenery. With a small accident so that she could get rescued. Or rescue. Running in the warm rain on the empty beach. Getting completely soaked and laughing about it. Stargazing together. Perhaps more scientific observation of stars and planets. A game of chess somewhere quiet.
But in general, she would not care where. It would be important they are together.

uhm hi I'm nervous bc this is quite the silly little request coming from a silly little goober (me) but CAN I get a one-shot with stan marsh where the reader drowns (SHE SURVIVESSSSS VICTORY THEME PLAYS) <PLATONIC PLEASE> OK ty ty bye bye!!
I'm not too used to writing angst (so sorry if it's kinda bad lol), but I really liked writing this!! Hope you enjoy :)
Word count: 1.1k
South Park - Drowning (Stan Marsh) (Platonic)
“Woah!” You giggled as Stan pushed the boat off the shore a little too hard, making it rock frightfully. It was a small, wooden skiff, propelled by oars rather than an engine. Not the best boat, but the easiest to steal. Though you preferred the term “borrow.”
Stan cursed while he waded through the ice-cold water to catch up. You laughed at him, but you still grabbed him by the arms and helped him hop in when he got close enough.
It was the dead of night. The only light you could see was coming from your lantern—no one else was on the lake. No one you could see, anyway. But that was kind of the idea: one, you didn’t want to get caught with a stolen boat, and two, you wanted to be alone. It was quieter that way.
You both took up an oar and started to move away from the shore.
“Why didn’t we steal a boat with an engine again?” Stan panted as he rowed.
“Borrow,” you corrected, dodging the question because you were wondering the same thing now. Your arms were hurting and you could feel blisters forming on your palms.
After a few minutes, you both dropped your oars. “Think this is far enough?” You asked, looking around. A pointless task; you couldn’t see anything in the darkness.
“I hope so. I’m not rowing any more.”
“Then you’ll love the trip back,” you snickered, earning a playful shove from Stan. The boat rocked with the motion.
“I’ll get out the telescope.” You reached for your backpack, feeling unsteady as you stood to grab it. The boat was just so small; every movement you made sent it wobbling along with you.
“I swear, if we fall in…” You heard Stan mutter under his breath.
Ignoring him, you lifted the telescope grandly out of your bag, holding it in the air. “Ta-da!”
“That’s not a stargazing telescope.”
“And how would you know that?” “Uh, ‘cause I’ve seen one? And that one is way too small.”
You stuck out your tongue. “A telescope is a telescope. Now do you want to look through it or not?”
“You can go first.” Stan leaned back and reached for the lantern. He flicked it off.
The sky illuminated like a movie screen above you. Millions of stars freckled the velvety black fabric of space. A crescent moon hung suspended among it all, smiling down at the sleeping earth. You smiled back.
Lifting your telescope to your eye, you looked at some stars more closely. Stan was right; this telescope was definitely not intended for stargazing. But you pretended it was working, saying “ooh” and “aah” theatrically.
“Stan, you’re really missing out. I can see the big dipper, the little dipper…”
“Shut up,” Stan laughed.
“The medium-sized dipper! Ooh, and what’s that?” You leaned forward as if trying to get a better look at something. But you had forgotten that you were already on the edge of the boat, and your movement rocked it just enough to make you lose your balance and tumble into the water.
You heard Stan shout your name before you were even fully submerged. Cold, cold blackness swallowed you, seizing all sensation. Your consciousness slipped away.
Stan’s POV
He launched forward, gripping the edge of the boat and holding up the illuminated lantern. He screamed your name into the water. When you didn’t come up for several seconds, he really started to panic.
He submerged his arm into the icy water, feeling around blindly in hopes of grabbing you. “Y/n, come up,” he begged, jumping to the other side of the boat and checking the water with his arm there, too. “This isn’t funny!”
He accepted with a sinking feeling that this wasn’t a joke. It had been too long already; he knew you couldn’t hold your breath for very long. So he yanked off his soggy boots and jumped into the pitch-black water.
He couldn’t see a thing. He swam down in a hopeless effort to find you in the blackness. He used his legs to propel himself while his arms waved around wildly, acting as his eyes.
He was running out of breath. He was freezing. But he hardly felt a thing; he was too panicked, too desperate to find you.
His lungs threatened to give in on him. He could hear his oxygen-deprived heart hammering in his ears. He’d have to go up for air. He wanted to scream, but turned around nonetheless.
As he swam towards the surface, his hand brushed something. He gripped it instantly, relief flooding his mind as he continued to swim upwards. But the extra weight was slowing him down. His vision was starting to go wonky. It seemed to him that the dim light from the lantern above was growing brighter…
He breached just in time. Gasping and sputtering for air, he groped around for the boat, blinded temporarily by the water dripping into his eyes. Instead, he found someone’s forearm. It wasn’t yours; no, that was in his other hand. Then whose was it..?
“Hold on, I’ll pull you up!” He was pulled halfway out before the person helping him realized that he was also honding on to you, and that you were unconscious. They switched their attention to you, pulling you aboard before him.
“Uncle Jimbo?” He coughed, finally wiping the water from his eyes. Apparently—luckily—he was out on one of his late-night fishing trips.
“Geez, Stan, what the heck were you doing in there?” His Uncle interrogated as he lifted Stan from the water.
“Y/n—they—they fell in,” Stan remembered, his heart dropping. He rushed over to where you were laying.
Your chest wasn’t moving. “No, no, no…” Tears pricked at his eyes. “Please don’t go… Don’t go…” He couldn’t lose you. You were one of his best friends. A life without you... he didn't even want to imagine it. The mere notion made him nauseous.
“Check for a pulse, son,” Jimbo interjected.
Stan gripped your freezing wrist. His heart seemed to stop beating in those few seconds that he waited to feel something. He just about shouted for joy when he felt a weak throb beneath your skin.
At the same time, you spewed water from your lungs. Coughing violently, you propped yourself up on your elbows. You were still coughing as Stan pulled you into a hug.
“I thought you were dead!”
You weakly placed a hand on his back in turn. “You saved me, though.” Then, looking around, you realized you weren’t on the dinky skiff anymore. 
“Next time,” you whispered into Stan’s ear, “let’s steal this boat. It’s way nicer.”
Stan sniffled, giving a small laugh as he wiped the tears from his eyes. 
“Agreed.”

Thank you so much for requesting!! <3 and thanks for reading :]

Do you have any headcanon about the TD character's hometowns? Your headcanons are always great, so I'm curious about that
Time to do research on Canadian provinces. For this, I’ll write the town and province I think they’re from/live closest to and a little bit of why I think so.
Alejandro: Born and raised in Madrid, moved to Ottawa, Ontario when he was 13. Since his father is a Spanish diplomat, he would most likely live in or near the capital city of whatever country his family has to move to.
Beth: St. Claude, Manitoba. Southern Manitoba is a rural part of Canada and full of farms and St. Claude is a notable area with dairy farming which makes sense for Beth since I hc her living on a livestock farm.
Bridgette: Vancouver Island, British Colombia. Vancouver Island is a popular surfing spot with Cox Bay Beach and Chesterman Beach and British Colombia has warmer temperatures compared to other provinces/territories.
Cody: Hamilton, Ontario. With his dad being a professor, I figured McMaster University would be a good choice for his dad to work at since it’s a top university (it explains the high expectations, Cody’s intelligence and parental neglect).
Courtney: North Rustico, Prince Edward Island. I already hc’d Courtney to live in a small town (North Rustico’s population around 600) and it’s also a fishing community, which explains how she knows about rowing boats.
DJ: Born in Montego Bay, Jamaica and then moved to Montreal, Quebec when he was around 5 or 6. I think that he was young when he came to Canada because he doesn’t have an accent and specifically Montreal because they have a high Jamaican population and Montego Bay because it’s a low income area with higher rates of crime. 
Duncan: Welland, Ontario. This is the same hometown as Todd Kauffman, one of the directors of TD who has stated that Duncan was his favorite character to design.
Eva: Kharkiv, Ukraine then moved to Calgary, Alberta. Eva is confirmed to have been born in Eastern Europe and Canada has the third highest population of Ukrainians aside from Ukraine and Russia and Alberta has a high Ukraine population.
Ezekiel: Duchess, Alberta. It is one the smallest villages in Southern Alberta, which is mostly prairie so it seems fitting. 
Geoff: a suburb outside Vancouver, British Colombia. I got a little creative here; Vancouver has the third highest population of Hispanic people and it’s close to the coast of BC, so this explains Geoff being a party dude that knows how to surf and swim really well and Brody being from the same area.
Gwen: Val Marie, Saskatchewan. Gwen enjoys astronomy and the Grasslands National Park is one of the most optimal stargazing spots in Canada.
Harold: Halifax, Nova Scotia. I hc Harold to be Scottish and Nova Scotia literally means “New Scotland” in Latin.
Heather: Westmount, Quebec. It’s a really wealthy neighborhood in Montreal and knowing Heather’s background, it suits her. That and the name “Westmount” is sounds really pretentious so I had to put her there.
Izzy: Regina, Saskatchewan. This city is actually where the RCMP training academy is and I think it fits so well that Izzy would be on the run from them because she tried dicking around near the academy. Also, Saskatchewan has a high forest population which fits the vibe for her.
Justin: Born in Honolulu, Hawai’i then recently moved to Toronto, Ontario shortly before sending in his audition tape. Honolulu and Toronto are both big modeling cities so that’s where he would be based but he probably moved around and traveled a lot for jobs.
Katie: Toronto, Ontario. Finally! An easy one! This was confirmed in the playa de losers episode from season one. However, I do suspect they live in a smaller suburb outside of the city as she mentions having a small job on a pier.
Leshawna: Malvern, Ontario. It’s a predominantly black neighborhood in Toronto and in her bio, it states that she volunteers to help teenagers less fortunate than her which implies that she lives in or nearby a lower income neighborhood.
Lindsay: Tuxedo, Manitoba. She’s confirmed to be wealthy and Tuxedo is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods near Winnipeg. Also, I can imagine the utter confusion she would cause when she tells people she’s from Tuxedo.
Noah: Brandon, Manitoba. Manitoba has the second highest population of Indian-Canadians and quite frankly, it works because Team E-Scope is near each other to an extent.
Owen: Quebec City, Quebec. Owen is implied to be Catholic, or at least to have gone to Catholic school and Quebec City has strong Catholic roots. It’s also the capital of Quebec which adds another layer to him wearing the maple leaf shirt.
Sadie: Toronto, Ontario. She and Katie confirm this in the playa de losers episode in season one. I suspect she lives in a smaller suburb because of a comment about her and Katie having a job at the pier.
Sierra: Neustadt, Ontario. Sierra has a strong German heritage on one side of her family (presumably, her mother’s) as she’s x generation this, that and the third so I put her in Neustadt because it’s a rural town with strong German roots.
Trent: Moncton, New Brunswick. Lowkey, just wanted to put someone here because they’d probably pull someone from each province to compete. Also in the Bay of Fundy (where Moncton is), it gets super foggy in spring and summer and I just like to think that Trent was voted “most mysterious and irresistible” because dumbass liked to hang outside in the fog to write music.
Tyler: Edmonton, Alberta and Toronto, Ontario. I think Tyler’s parents are divorced and he lives mostly with his mother and sisters in Alberta and spends summers with his dad in Toronto. His dad has sports connections and a lot of athletes (including gymnasts) come from/train in Toronto and I have a sneaking suspicion his mom also comes from money, hence why she lives in the capital of Alberta.
Lowkey, this was so difficult to piece together and it took everything I had NOT to look at other people’s examples. I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think!

    The wind softly runs through your hair as you sit in the shade underneath your favorite tree. The warm air embraces you, giving you a sense of comfort and safety. The book held in your hands has captured your attention for the last hour. It wasn’t uncommon to find you out by the tree next to the lake; it was your safe space. It was where you were able to separate yourself from the crazy world that you sadly have to go back to at the end of the day.
     “Well hello there my little feather.” The sound of the familiar voices makes you slightly jump from your seated position. Clutching at your chest, you turn to face the intruder, “Han Jisung, you frightened me.” When you turn, instead of being face to face with Jisung, you see him hanging off one of the branches of the tree. As he climbs down, you close your book setting it aside, knowing that with him present, you won’t be able to read another word of it. Jisung settles down next to you, tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear. To this day, little stuff like this makes your heart flutter.
    “What is my little feather doing out here by themselves?” Little feather was his nickname for you. It comes from the fact that your soulmate mark was a little feather, and when the two of you realized that you were each other’s soulmate, that’s when he started to call you little feather. “Well, I was enjoying my book before someone interrupted me,” you say as you playfully glare at him.
    “Oh, well now that you’ve already been interrupted, you can focus all that attention on me.” Jisung cheekily grins at you as he attempts to lay down on your lap. Not letting him get away with his antics, you gently push him away. As a result, he plops his head on his hands, pouting at you. Rolling your eyes, “You know, I could always just go back home to read.”
    “And yet you choose to read out here where you know I can easily watch you from my house.”
    “Should I be worried that you’re watching me now?”
    “Little feather, I’m always watching over you.” He spoke of nothing, but the truth. Ever since you were a small child you had been coming down to this tree, and for the longest time, you had never noticed the little boy that would watch you from his window, until he finally made an appearance in your life.
    There was something off with Jisung, you could tell. Although he may not be outwardly showing it, you knew him well enough to know when he’s not telling you something. “What’s wrong?” The smile on his face fumbles for a quick second, but quickly returns to its position. “Nothing is wrong. What makes you think that there is something wrong?”
    “Han Jisung, I’ve known you for quite some time now, and if you think that I can’t tell when there’s something wrong with you by now, then you are sadly mistaken.”
    Putting his hands up in defeat, he says to you, “Ah, you’ve caught me, but don’t worry your pretty little head about it. It’s nothing to worry about.” You give him a stern look, wanting nothing more for him to tell you what’s on his mind.
    Unable to deny you, he slowly takes out what looks to be a letter from his pockets and gently hands it to you. Quickly taking from his hands, you scan over the document, dropping it as soon as you finished reading it. Out of instinct, you cover your mouth in shock, tears beginning to blur your vision. Jisung carefully gathers you in his arms, not wanting to see the look on your face.
    “You can’t.”
    “I have to.” Clutching onto Jisung, you let the hot tears run down your face. You couldn’t believe it. You knew that the chances of this happening were very high, but you had hoped that there was a chance for it to be avoided. Unfortunately, for the both of you, it was really happening.
    “Oh Y/n, it pains me to see my little feather like this, but you know nothing can be done about this. You know that once somebody gets their draft letter that it’s a done deal.”
    “I can’t lose you.” Separating from your hold, Jisung gently cups your face, making you look him in the eyes. “You’re not going to lose me, little feather. You know you can’t get rid of me that easily.” Jisung attempted his usual cheeky comment in attempt to make the situation more lighthearted, but the both of you knew that it wasn’t going to work.
    “Besides, let’s look on the bright side, now that you know I’ll be gone for a long time, you’ll be attatched to me like this until I’m gone. And when I come back, you won’t ever want me to leave your side ever again.” Smacking Jisung in the arm, you ask him, “How can you be joking around like this? You know that you can get seriously hurt.”
    “I’m not going to get hurt. I won’t allow myself to, but now that I think about it, if I do get injured, they’ll send me home and I can have you care for me.” Raising your hand for another smack, Jisung stops the attack, “I’m kidding. Look, let’s not even think about stuff like that, okay? Let’s just enjoy the time we have together, and not worry about it. Please.”
    And that’s exactly what the two of you did. Everyday leading up to Jisung’s departure, which happened to be two weeks after he told you, the two of you would meet up and do miscellaneous activities together. From rowing a boat in the lake to stargazing, from feeding animals to cuddling each other underneath the tree. The two of you wanted to make the best memories with each other so that you’d both have something to hold onto. Although, your family did not necessarily approve of Jisung, they let you have your moments with him, knowing that you would be in pain from the moment he left.
    The night before Jisung had to leave, the two of you met by the tree for one last time for a while. When you had arrived, you saw that he had set up blankets for the two of you. He wanted to watch the stars with you, while holding you for one more time. He had even gifted you a new book, telling you that anytime you missed him, you could read the book and remember how much he loves you. That night, the two of you slept underneath the stars by the tree, in the arms of one another, dreading the following day.
    The next morning, you had woken up before Jisung, using the last moments you had with him to admire his features. He was beautiful like this, and you couldn’t imagine the harsh conditions that he was going to be put through. When Jisung had woken up, the two of you laid in a comfortable silence, taking in everything. Once it was finally time for Jisung to go back home to grab his things, the two of you silently packed up and made your way to his house.
    At his front door, before he went inside, he gave you a gently kiss. A kiss that held so much meaning behind it, that you couldn’t help it when your tears started falling. Jisung’s tears were also falling, mixing in with yours before the two of you parted.
    Letting him hold you for one more time, you say, “You promise to write me whenever you can?”
    “Of course.”
    And with that, he takes your hands, and lays gentle kisses on each of your knuckles, and lastly kissing the little feather that laid on your wrist. Once he finished, he whispered, “I love you, my little feather.”
    “I love you too, Han Jisung.”

    When you had received noticed that you had gotten a letter, you had quickly snatched the letter from your father’s hand. Immediately running to your bedroom, you sit at your desk and quickly open the letter.
    Hello my little feather, It is I, your one and only. I hope you are well and taking care of yourself. Don’t worry your pretty little head about me. I’m doing fine, I even made a new friend. His name is Minho. He’s actually my senior and messes with me a lot, but I know that I’m his favorite junior. He’s looking after me, so no need to worry, okay? Oh how I miss seeing your beautiful face. I can’t wait for the day for me to come back and I can hold you in my arms again. I must end this letter here, but just know; I love you little feather. Your love, Han Jisung.
    Clutching at the letter, you’re glad that Jiusng was safe. You didn’t really need the letter to know he was safe, as long as the little feather on your wrist was there, then you knew he was fine, but you couldn’t help the little concern you had for him.
    And that’s how the following year went for you. As your life continued on, all you could do was wait to receive letters from Jisung, and every night right before you fell asleep, you would look at the little feather on your wrist, holding onto the hope that he was doing fine.
    Dear little feather, It’s starting to get a little colder isn’t it? I hope you are staying warm, don’t stay out under the tree for long. I can’t have you getting sick. As for me, your love is the only thing keeping me warm out here. That and of course the group huddles we have, but nothing beats the warmth you give me. Oh, how I miss the warmth of your touch. Promise me that when I return, you’ll never let me go.  Oh, what am I saying, it is me who won’t let you go. Anyways, I love and miss you little feather. Your dearest, Han Jisung.
    Dear little feather, I miss you so much. It’s getting harder and harder everyday being away from you. To be honest, last night I cried while the others slept because of how much I missed you. I laid a kiss on my feather, could you feel it? I want nothing more than to lay a kiss on your little feather. Today feels a little bit different than the other days, and I’m honestly quite scared, Minho hyung says I shouldn’t be, but I just can’t shake this feeling that I have. Maybe I’m just being dramatic, maybe it’s because I’m lovesick and I just need your loving right now. I must end this letter here; they are calling for all of us. I love you, little feather. Forever and always, your soulmate, Han Jisung.

    You were finally able to get a break in your day, and so you decided to relax down by the tree. As you were making your way to the location, you turn to check up on the Han household, however, a peculiar sight was in front of you. Two men in military uniform stood in front of the door. Slowing your pace, you watch as they knock against the door and Mrs. Han opens it. Upon seeing the men, Mr. Han shows up as well. The two military men then proceed to take off their caps and bow down to the Han’s and suddenly Mrs. Han is falling to the ground, but Mr. Han manages to catch her. The sight before you and the sounds of her cry was all you needed to know what it meant.
    Hot tears quickly began to run down your face as you quickly made your way to the tree. It took you everything you had to not stay on the ground when you tripped on your path there. Once you had arrived at the tree, your legs grew weak and you dropped against the tree. Clutching at the ache in your chest, you let out a sob. You couldn’t believe it, but there was no way for you to mistake what that scene meant. There was only one way for you to confirm it. If you checked your wrist, you would know the answer, but you weren’t sure if you wanted to know. If you looked and it confirmed your suspicions, then it meant the end for you.
    Finally deciding to look, you slowly open your eyes to check your wrist. Your heart stops. Nothing is there. Han Jisung was dead. Your soulmate was taken away from this world. Taken away from you. You scream out in pain.
    For the rest of the day, you had laid out by the tree and when your parents came out to search for you, they saw your broken-hearted figure and knew. They carried you back to your house, where you had laid bedridden for a month, lifelessly.
    The Han’s had visited you at some point and as a whole, you had all mourned together. When they had left, they gave you a journal, Jisung’s journal. It took you two weeks after their visit to open it, and when you did the contents of it made you cry. Every page that you had turned was about you. It was a journal full of Jisung’s favorite things about you and his favorite memories with you. That’s when you made it your goal to live the rest of your life in honor of Jisung, until the two of you meet in your next lives.

    You were running late again for the second time that week. If this were any other job, you probably would’ve been fired by now, but luckily for you, your boss likes you. As you briskly walk to your destination, you do your best to avoid bumping into those around you, though you do manage to get slightly pushed by a big man, causing you to bump into a tree. Finally arriving at your job, you let out a loud, “Sorry I’m late,” and proceed to slightly bow. When you rise up from your bow, you see your boss, Jinyoung, slightly roll his eyes at you. “Yeah, yeah, kid. Just get these books back where they need to be.” Smiling, you take the cart of books he referred to and begin to put them up. Aside from your boss, the other thing you liked about your job is that you were surrounded by books. The small bookshop that you were employed at was basically your second home. When there were no customers, you would pick a random book and read it until you finished it at the end of your shift. You recently finished a book called Turning Pages. It was about a person who had lost their soulmate to a war. It was one of your favorite reads so far. As you read it, the author’s words made it feel like you were experiencing their emotions as well. The fact that the two also had the same soulmate mark as you meant even more for you. You had made a mental note to purchase the book later on so that you could read it again.
    As you are finishing up putting the rest of the books on the shelves, the bell to the door sounds, alerting the shop of a new customer. “Y/n, can you go help them, I’m a bit busy,” Jinyoung asks of you. Pushing the cart back to the front, you can see that the customer is a man, though you can’t get a good view of him until you’re closer. Reaching the counter, you ask the customer, “Hi there, is there anything I can help you with?”
    Finally looking up at the customer, you can’t help but think that he’s attractive. “Hey, I was wondering if you guys had Turning Pages in stock.” You knew that there was only one copy left in the shop, it was the copy that you read. It still had the little sticky notes that you placed in them from when you were annotating the book.
    “Yeah, in fact, we only have one copy left. Let me get that for you.” As you were getting the book for the customer, you did your best to take out all the sticky notes you left in it. Going through them, you realized that you wrote a lot more than you thought. When you reached the customer again, you were still taking out your notes. “Sorry about this, I just finished reading it and I sometimes like to leave notes with my thoughts in books.”
    “Really? Then you don’t have to take them out.” You look at the customer in confusion. You didn’t know why he would want to leave your notes in the book. “I think it’s kinda cool that you wrote about it, and if it’s okay with you, I'd like to read those as well.” This was a first for you; you weren’t really sure if this was okay, but since he asked, then what else could you do.
    “Uh, okay, but just letting you know now, most of these were just the first thoughts I had, and I have like zero experience with romance.” You instantly regretted saying the last part. Embarrassed, you begin to ring up the book for the customer. Placing the book into a bag and you hand it to the customer, who instead of thanking you says, “Little feather,“ while pointing at you. Taken back by the two words the man said to you, you clutch at the small mark on your wrist and say, “Excuse me?”
    “Oh, I’m sorry. You’ve had a little feather on your shoulder the whole entire time.” Looking down at your shoulder, he was indeed correct about the little feather. It must’ve landed on you when you were on your way to work. Gently picking it off your shoulder, you lay it down on top of the counter, even more embarrassed by the fact that it was there the whole entire time.
    “I’m Jisung by the way.” Looking away from the feather, you see that the customer, Jisung, has his hand out for a handshake and that’s when you see it, the small little mark on his wrist Smiling, you take his hand, “Y/n.”
