AquariusVenus ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
💝 even though he appears distant, he needs just as much attention as a leo venus & he hates being ignored or forgotten, yet he will never tell you that, making him hard to read.
making him very hard to read & just as complicated as a scorpio venus.
💝 he is the “come & go, hot & cold” type. he’s known for being inconsistent in his displays of affection & attention. others often think his feelings are unstable. however it isn’t about feelings, it’s about aquarians need to withdraw & be alone for some time. he’s often surprised why others view him as inconsistent when his love isn’t actually wavering, he just needs space to recharge himself mentally. he will come back eventually, acting as if nothing happened, technically nothing happened for him. this is just his default nature & more codependent types may find it offensive.
💝 he is just serious as capricorn but just as talkative as gemini. he’s great at communicating his wants & needs. but he can be somewhat critical when maintaining his strict boundaries & standards.
💝 he’s not quick to enter rxships & it takes a lot for him to fall in love but once he does there’s no going back he is a fixed venus sign after all so he has a tendency to stay in rxships that don’t serve him bc it gives him a sense of familiarity & secretly, fearing the idea of having to start over from scratch.
💝 he’s non-judgmental, openminded & not very emotional so he rarely over-reacts & seems unfazed most of the time, meaning others often feel comfortable opening up & revealing secrets to him.
Turn On’s:
💝 he enjoys friendship based foundations & treats his lover like his best friend. this is mainly bc aquarius is the ruler of the 11th house which rules friendships. he loves someone who can make him laugh & make him feel comfortable. he wants to feel accepted, belonging, supported & mentally stimulated with a partner.
💝 he’s often not interested in conventional rxships & may enjoy quick flings.
💝 his ideal woman will be very unbothered & nonchalant with the ability to detach. she knows how to regulate her emotions & thoughts whilst viewing things from a logical perspective. she doesn’t lose her cool in any way, shape or form.
💝 he’s attracted to unique, weird, unapologetic, strong partners who don’t fit in & are outside of the box. show him that you have something nobody else has & don’t follow the crowd. he enjoys someone who is independent, friendly, stimulating, eccentric observant, dominant & dances to the beat of their own drum.
💝 his love language: respect his uniqueness, call him different, tell him he’s nothing like you’ve ever seen or will see again, dont tie him down, be his bestie.
💝 to impress him, wear something that isn’t basic or trendy. he doesn’t care abt matching colours or patterns, as long as your expressing yourself. dress authentic & unique as he thinks someone being themselves is the sexiest thing. also glasses. however, he usually finds beauty past looks.
Turn Off’s:
💝 he hates when his love interest makes it too obvious she likes him. her acting too obsessed too early can be cringey to him & make him feel suffocated. the tighter you hold him, the more likely he is to run away. he wants what he cant have & he desires romance that is unattainable to him.
💝 he dislikes neediness, clinginess & insecurity. a demeaning, boring, judgmental, nosey & bossy partner. someone who is to mushy or puts too much rules on him will turn him off.
💝 if she refuses to communicate through something that can be easily resolved (same for all air venus)
💝 emotional scenes & emotional outbursts from others scare him off. when emotions get too intense he tends to find the quickest escape plan. this is why he’s known for being cold-hearted.
💝 he hates more than anything a woman that make it too obvious she likes him bc he feels like it restricts his freedom. the last thing he wants is to be “trapped”. if he realises she doesn’t want to take it slow & let him be free at the same time, then bye. (for the sake of the rxship & your well-being, ensure to act less interested than he is, you have to be subtle & strategic with him).

do we get to kiss the narnia au blorbos 👀 how does our relationship with them develop throughout the course of the story? how does it start with both sun and moon and how does it end up? any significant trouble spots you can hint at without spoilers (unless you dont care abt spoiling!!)
and also i forgot if you already pointed this out somewhere but is there an aslan character? if so, who?
*inhales*
THANK YOU
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME TALK ABT THIS
okay. SO:
Yes, you probably will get to kiss the narnia blorbos...probably. Thing is, I'm not really good at developing romance plots (mostly cuz my brain never actually goes that far in planning and I always get caught up in leading events), but yes, I'm hoping I can actually get that far.
In terms of development...? Definitely Sun first, simply because he falls hard the second he meets you. Unfortunately, it's less because of you and more because of his past with humans and how scarce they are. You're the first human he's ever actually been able to talk to, you're there and you're real, and he doesn't want to let go of that. And it gets even better when he realizes that you like him too; after all, why else would you keep coming back to this dull and dreary world? He hasn't talked to anyone in a long time, and he doesn't want to give that up so soon, and of course, he has to protect what's his, doesn't he? Yes yes yes,especially in a world as dangerous as this one! He feels a strong need to protect you, especially after you meet Moon, who has a...slightly less pure love for you.
(Keep in mind, by the way, that Sun can be just as dangerous as Moon should he choose to be.)
Moon is definitely interested in you upon meeting you, but for...other reasons. He hasn't seen a human around in a long time either, or at least, not one who's lasted so long without his notice. Sun's lucky that Moon looks out for him, or the White Witch would surely punish them both for not handing them over. Thankfully, Moon is there to correct Sun's grave error by collecting the human himself! He hasn't had a new charge to tend to in a while, after all.
The Stone Garden is quiet up on the hill.
Moon does find you sweet and charming in your own little way, and he likes you, but like Sun, he wants to keep you for himself, and so he tries to convince you to take up his offer on visiting the Stone Garden and stopping by sometime, he's sure you'd like it, and he could protect you so well, just like all his other silent charges. You're so fragile, and fragile things need to be protected, yes yes, that's his job, the silent protector. And you're on board with it, too! Sure, he hasn't specified how long your visit would be, but you didn't seem to mind, none of his charges did in the end, or else they would surely say something about it. Every time he tries to take you, though, something pops up, and you leave him behind. Someday, he thinks, someday he'll have you all to himself.
Anything that could get you in trouble...? Well, a lot of things, actually, not that you really seem to mind. You find a good deal of interest in this world and its inhabitants, and they're all so friendly. Fortunately enough for everyone keeping a lookout for you, your obliviousness keeps you blissfully ignorant of all that goes on in the woods, and everyone is free to conspire as they wish. A few words of advice Moon's charges could have given you if they could voice them, however:
Trust no one.
Do not test the Dark Moon.
Beware the White Rabbit.
Avoid caves.
Don't eat anything offered.
Leave while you still can.
As for Aslan....
*laughs nervously*
weeeeelllll, someone suggested it being Michael, but the image of Freddy as a literal god was just to hilarious not to include, so I left it at that. Unfortunately I don't know much game lore regarding Michael (I really gotta do some research when I have the time), but I'd probably include him in Aslan's army as one of the people who escaped before Afton rose to power. After that, none of Aslan's followers were able to leave on account of being trapped in ice, and most of them were swiftly dealt with.
#asks#narnia au#THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTIONS#I REALLY APPRECIATE IT#also no the image of freddy as a god is too perfect i can't#it's all i can think of whenever this au comes up#but anyways yeah!#unfortunately this y/n has never heard of self-preservation#and the bois use that to their advantage#hope I answered your questions well enough :)

Catalyst
Author's note : Omg romance starts here😘😘 jkjk but srsly this is where my writing starts to pick up
Content : Mikey x Sachiko(OC), fight scene, Some light teasing (obv it's romance we're talking abt here)
Chapter 6 : A Fateful Encounter
-ˋˏ ❀* ‧₊˚* ੈ‧₊*❈꧁🥀꧂❈ * ੈ‧₊*. *₊°❀ ˎˊ-
Sneaking from bush to bush, from corner to corner, Rose was successfully tailing the leader of Toman. As she thought about how great she was at stalking people, Mikey took off. Realising he probably noticed her, she sighed in defeat.
"Maybe this wasn't a good idea," She mumbled to herself.
"What wasn't a good idea?"
The sudden voice of a stranger startled Rose, she turned around quickly and put her hands up in a defensive position, preparing to punch whoever it was behind her. But the leader of Toman was faster, he pinned both her hands above her head, rendering her defenseless.
"Let me rephrase it, why did you think following me was a good idea to begin with?" The boy asked in a playful voice, as if mocking Rose for her absurd actions. Though, she clearly didn't notice the tone in which he had because she was squirming like a maniac, trying to escape from his grasp, but it was no use. Accepting she couldn't wiggle her way out of this one, Rose flipped her hood back, revealing her signature pair of purple eyes.
"I'm the u-uhm..." Rose felt herself cringe at the name she was given. Hesitantly, she answered "Rose of Tokyo..."
The blond boy seemed to be surprised by the sudden mention of such a famous delinquent. He let go of her and took a step back.
"I'm sorry I didn't think you were...her." He hesitantly says that last part, silently telling Rose he felt the same way about her name.
"Just call me Rose, I didn't decide on the name, I know it's cringy."
The both of them awkwardly smiled at the comment.
"You still haven't answered my question."
"Ah, about that," Rose cleared her throat to ensure no voice cracks could sneak up on her during her conversation with the "Invincible Mikey".
"I was hoping to join your gang."
"Oh?" Mikey looked almost confused for a moment, then, he continued, "I hope you realise there aren't any girls in Toman."
"I'm aware," Rose cocks an eyebrow to emphasise the next words, "And what's the problem? You don't want girls joining your gang?"
"No, I only-" Mikey swiftly tries to defend himself.
"or is it because you think girls are weak?" Rose said confusing the boy with the new debate tactic she had recently read about.
"NO, it's just-" It proved to be effective, sending Mikey into panic.
For once, the leader was stuttering, trying to figure out how he wants this interaction to go. Of course, all of this was planned by Rose, hoping she could bend his will far enough to consider allowing a girl to join Toman.
Mikey took a moment to compose himself before continuing with a question. "Why do you wanna join?"
Rose decided her best action was to reveal her mission, to hide her identity. "I was sent to keep an eye on someone in your gang to make sure he doesn't get hurt."
"Who?"
"Sorry, can't tell."
The distrust and hesistance in his eyes were very apparent, so Rose racked her brain for a few moments and proposed a deal.
"Alright, I'll make you an offer: if I can defeat you in a fight, then you let me join ; If I can't, then we'll part ways as allies."
Testing his state of power, Mikey asked her. "And if I don't accept the deal?"
"Then we're gonna have some problems, Manjiro Sano." She threatened him, with venom laced in her voice.
Rose made eye contact with the gang leader, hoping she could seal the deal; Mikey seemed deep in thought.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke up,"I swore to never put my hands on a girl."
"Can't you make an exception? Come on, just this once?"
He seemed as if he was in thought for awhile before saying, "Alright, let's do our best then."
Rose smirked at him giving off a confident persona, but in reality she was going through the 5 stages of grief on the inside.
"Very well, first one to surrender loses."
Mikey hummed in agreement and they both head to an abondoned parking lot nearby to start their fight.
"Ready?"
"Mhm."
They both look up, establishing eye contact.
"3,"
"2,"
"1. "
"1."
As soon as the countdown ended, Mikey delivered his signature kick, but Rose easily dodged it by diving into a spilt onto the ground. Then, she kicks her right foot and trips his remaining leg on the ground. Despite being caught off guard, the leader of Toman reacts at lightning speed and does a side flip to get back on his feet, so does his opponent.
Rose goes right back to attacking him with punches and kicks. Although the martial arts prodigy was disoriented, he did a good job blocking her attacks. Then, he caught her off guard by grabbing the girl's left wrist mid-attack and tripping her feet. The latter falls down and hits her head. Mikey stood above her, raising his heel and bringing it down swiftly. Not wasting even a second, Rose dodged and got a hold of his left foot. He lost his balance and fell. The girl quickly jumped up and took several steps back.
Taking a look around her surroundings, Rose thinks about what she can do, then an idea popped into her mind. She smirks and runs up to attack Mikey with a punch, he blocks it and tries to attack back, but fails to notice Rose's strategy just yet. She side-jumps off the nearby wall, granting her just enough momentum to spin around and wrap her left leg around the boy's neck, performing a rear triangle chokehold. He loses his balance due to Rose's momentum. But she forgot one thing, Manjiro still could move his legs.
Without hesitation, Mikey kicks straight up. That left the girl with no choice but to release him to escape the hit. She backs up to get some distance while her opponent is trying to catch his breath. Rose leaves him with no less than a second before confronting him again, this time, she sprints straight to him. The boy was expecting a front attack so he quickly prepares himself to block a front attack.
Rose smiles to herself and uses her momentum to swing behind the boy and holds his arms behind his back, making him fall to the ground once again. After that, she locks her legs with his and successfully traps him. He struggles the best he can but once he realised that she used the unbeatable hold on him.
"I s-surrender."
Rose immediately releases him. They both take a few moments to calm down from that intense fight. Well, at least Rose did(she was the one jumping around).
"Are you alright? I didn't go overboard, did I?"
Mikey doesn't reply he just stared at her in absolute awe.
"That was amazing!"
"Thank you, I've been learning karate ever since I was 6."
"How do you know to how to fight so well? Your experience and technique can't be taught just anywhere, y'know?"
"No idea, i guess I just picked them up from friends?"
<sure..."friends">
Rose put her hand out, silently hinting for Mikey to get up off the ground. He takes her hand and winces at the pain in his arm. She notices the microscopic reaction from the boy and checks his arm for any injuries.
"Manjiro, there's blood," His name sounded sweet when it came from her lips. "It's just a scratch I'm fine,"
Rose ignored his excuses and took out a bandage from her pocket to wrap his arm up.
"I usually don't hurt my opponents this bad, I'm sorry." She apologised with a worried tone, shocked by the damage she caused despite already holding back. Rose reached for his hand but Mikey swats it away.
"How do you win fights if you don't hurt your opponents?"
Once again, Rose attempts to get a hold of his hand but her attempts were in vain as Mikey was very persistant on avoiding her help.
"Tell me and I'll let you bandage me up."
With a sigh, Rose defeatedly explains.
"I guess i just study my opponent's fighting style and predict their moves, using that, I find a way to take them out. In your case, i know you are trained in karate, judo and jujutsu. With that info, i deducted some moves I knew you would use since those 3 martial arts have quite a lot in common. Plus, judging by your personality, you probably wouldn't try anything too risky or rough since I'm a girl," Rose realises her explanation was too detailed and tries to lighten up the mood with a joke. "Or best case scenario, my opponent doesn't know how to fight."
Mikey snorts at the outrageous statement.
"Will you let me wrap your arm up now?" Rose asked, reaching out for his hand.
"no." the boy refused, not keeping up his part of their deal.
"What?! You said you would!"
"no i didn't."
Rose throws the roll of cotton gauze at his forehead.
"OW!"
"Take it as a..thank you gift for letting me join Toman."
"Ah, how am I suppose to explain this to Ken-chin."
"Well, please come up with something good because if my identity is somehow revealed I don't know what I'll do."
She looked into Mikey's eyes with vulnerability and hope instead of the menacing and threatening look one would have when their social status is on the line.
"I won't let that happen, promise. "
The girl looked away and paused for a moment before replying.
"Y'know, you're much nicer than I thought you'd be."
"What did you think I was like?" Mikey asked.
"I thought you were a cocky, rude troublemaker who was ruthless and unempathetic."
"Wow." The boy faked an offended tone at her words.
"I mean, you are the strongest delinquent in Tokyo! What do you want from me?" Rose tried to defend herself, albeit pathetically. After exchanging contacts with her, Manjiro went over the rules and regulations of Toman with her.
"Hey, Rose?"
"Yea?"
"Mind if I walk you home?"
Rose felt her cheeks flush at his statement.
"I can't let you go home all by yourself, injured. I'd never forgive myself if something happened to you."
"I uh..It's fine I can go by mysel-"
"Please?"
As Mikey looked at her with pleading eyes, she could feel all her morals flying away.
"Okay, fine. You can walk me home, but just drop me off close to my house. We wouldn't want you finding out where I live now, would we?"
"Don't think that'll be too bad, will it? "
Rose rolled her eyes and smiled at his teasing statement.
Mikey was first to rise up from his spot on the ground. He reached his hand out for Rose, opening up the opportunity for her to get up from the ground as well. Rose took his hand, as she tried to get up, the girl grimaced after realising how exhausted and hurt her body was after their fight.
"Yea okay let's go."
She grabs Manjiro's arm and tugs gently, urging him to prove that chivalry has yet to die. He happily obliges.
"By the way, can I call you something else? Other than Mikey?" Rose asks, testing the waters.
"You can call me Manjiro," Mikey suggested, "That's a privilage only for you, considering you won against me, sweetheart."
He teased the girl once again, causing her to transform into a tomato. "Okay I know for a fact you were holding back in that fight!" she finally addresses the concern.
"So were you!"
He's very ooc but idgaf it's nice

god i am just having so many thoughts abt monika and how literally every video essay on ddlc gets her WRONG
" she's a psychopathic / evil villain yandere " " she MURDERS her FRIENDS to DATE you " you people are all missing the point SO HARD
monika is inherently a tragic character above all else - she's an ai, given sentience as part of an experiment, or (if you choose to ignore the ddlc+ lore) a video game character given sentience and as such trapped in said game. upon realising that she is the only being with her level of intelligence in her world, she strives to find a way to reach out and interact with someone, anyone.
thus, she creates the mc.
it's specifically stated in ddlc+ that the mc is a creation of monika - that's why he has zero sprites, a rapidly fluctuating personality based on which girl he's talking to, and in general just doesn't feel Real. sure, that can be said for any dating sim protagonist, but it's extra prominent in ddlc - the mc is solely a vessel for you, the player, and he was created by monika because she is desperate for any form of connection.
saying she's heartless or cruel for what she does to the other girls ( or that it's solely out of selfishness and a want to get closer to the player ) is also just blatantly false when you remember that the other girls aren't real the way monika is ( at least in the narrative - she is still very much fictional too. ) her situation is comparable to the truman show a bit - she's the only "real" one, the only one aware of her surroundings. sure, the other girls interact with her in the context of the game, and her manipulation of their code drives them to do things she doesn't even seem to expect, but they're still working off a script, like actors.
another thing that people forget is that monika's love for the player is borne out of what you represent to her, not actually you as a person. how can it be - she doesn't know anything about you, really. she knows your name from your files for a spooky little jumpscare in act 3, but that can be whatever you set it as on the platform you play the game on. the main thing that attracts her to you is that you're a real person, someone she can actually connect with. it's why her song is called "your reality" - she doesn't actually have romantic feelings to the player, she wants to exist in a world where she's not completely alone - being in a dating sim, it's thematic that she describes her love as romantic. she tries to escape the game midway through act 2 if you're in full-screen (the bluescreen scare literally says "DDLC escape plan" on it) and barely anybody acknowledges it because it's so easy to miss.
from the beginning, she's trying desperately to make you see that she knows she's in a game without actually outright saying it - from her day 2 talk about her " epiphany ", her poems being specifically about that, to the many comments she makes about the game. i also like the tidbit that she's the one to give you game tips, but also doesn't seem to be aware of it? it makes sense because in the context of the game, she's the side-character there to facilitate your routes with the other girls, the unattainable club president who gives you tips and isn't actually romanceable. And it fucking kills her, because it limits the amount of time she has to get through to you. This is what leads her to change the other girls' code, not because she's a " yandere " ( if you want a character who fits that trope, look no further than ms "knife collector" "i want to peel open your skin and crawl inside you" yuri herself!!! ) .
#📁 : // ⦗ out of character ⦘#📁 : // ⦗ musings ⦘#i will stop ranting but i have. so many thoughts abt her.#she is my joker actually

Did you like mota? How do you feel about Tallis? Do you have any thoughts on her?
I personally love this dlc. I really enjoy playing it, it's interesting and fun but has serious and even dramatic moments at the same time. And it's different from the main game (in a good way). Like, I love da2 but this dlc succeeded in making us feel like we really are out of Kirkwall and having an adventure that's a bit separate from the rest of the game. And I do like Tallis as a character. I appreciate her role in the story and I like that she provides us with another point of view on the qun. But I also feel very sorry for her. She just can't break free. For me, her character theme is doubt. Idk if you know her backstory but she's an elf from Tevinter who was sold into slavery by her own parents and then captured by the qunari who deemed her an unsuitable convert because she was too "headstrong". Apparently she didn't want to be qunari at first and they wanted to use qamek on her. But Salit took her under his wing to make her a tallis so she escaped that fate. And as we see, with time Tallis changed her mind on the qun. I think it happened because of the qunari propaganda and because she had nothing and no one but also because she genuinely started to see good things in the qun. After all, among the qunari Tallis felt like her life meant something to other people, probably for the first time in her life. And she wants to believe that there is a society and ideology where people are valued and everybody has their own place and purpose. (Her line "most qunari don't even understant humans, why you act like you do. But I grew up among you. I understand perfectly well" makes me loose my mind). But she still has too much free will for a qunari so she doesn't really fit in. So she doubts. Tallis does feel that something's wrong but she just can't let the qun go. She doubts herself and the qun for years but still can't find the answers. And that's just tragic. I can't imagine what it's like, to live in doubts for so long. I'd like her to finally realize that she in fact wants to be free of the qun but at this point I'd be happy if she just found peace as a qunari. That's better than being in the state of constant inner turmoil imo.
Also the whole dialogue between Tallis and Hawke and the way they can mirror each other is super interesting like. "Just tell me: can you honestly say there's nothing to improve, nothing to strive for?" My pro mage Anders romancing Hawke may think that qun is horrible but she can't disagree with that. My Hawke and Tallis share this dedication to their believes and inablility to ignore injustices and that's where they find common ground, that is why they respect each other. Tallis' motivation in this dlc is literally saving innocent people so yeah.
Um. Sorry for such a long ask. Hope reading this isn't too boring lmao.
it was a fun dlc!!! you’re right it rlly felt like a breath of fresh air. it was nice to see what hawke and the gang are like outside of kirkwall for once just having a good time out (aside from all the deadly danger etc)
tallis was super interesting, i do like her. it was interesting to spend a lot of time with someone who was clearly on the track of her own story rather than a companion whose fate it’s up to me to decide. and i liked exploring the idea of elves joining the qun with an actual character rather than just vaguely suggesting that it happens. i don’t have any super exciting thoughts yet mostly bc i find the qunari difficult to approach conceptually but also just because i only got to know her like yesterday, i didnt rlly know much abt her beforehand except that she was qunari
my experience with her so far is obviously filtered through keir, who... did not like her at all agshsjsksk. she was incompetent and a liar, and she was picking up a blade for a belief system it was obvious she couldn’t even commit to herself. the qunari talking points didn’t help either, keir isn’t overfond of religion no matter which one it is; all he sees is the damage it does. he did grudgingly fight beside her at the end, mostly because he believed her that innocents were in danger and thought she clearly wasn’t up to the job herself, but he was happy enough to be rid of her and part ways at the end. it might have been just as in character to leave her, though, and i plan to do a second run through with other companions at some point so i might see how that turns out

Finally had a Byler Dream™ (is that a rite of passage at this point?) and I woke myself up by being too excited to jump on tumblr and gloat about it before I even finished the episode... So in that spirit I'm going to share the dream with y'all because it was very intense. I've edited slightly for clarity bc dream logic, but don't take this as fanfiction or headcanon or anything cuz it does NOT actually make any canonical sense.
It started with some promotional material they had which we were trying to analyze. It was only in very blurry subtitles/some flash of Mike's internal landscape via the upside down that showed him being anxious abt his feelings towards Eddie for some reason, like showing he had a crush/need for approval from him. I managed to find some screencap that was more clear and seemed to be someone telling Mike something about taking pride in himself so I was like "oh that's 100% gay" and trying to post about it but it got removed because it was too much of a spoiler they'd accidentally released.
Then suddenly they had dropped the next episode of Stranger Things, out of the blue basically. I was watching it with a group of people and I'm pretty sure there was more than just the Byler but tbh that was the only part my brain tuned in on.
It went like this- Mike was paired off with Steve and Robin, and they had all gone to this strange facility to find something but were now stuck in the upside down. They had figured out that very intense emotions could re-open gates to escape the Upside Down, so they were sitting together trying to come up with memories they had that could help them. They went around, with Robin/Steve not being able to think of something quite strong enough even though they had some intense stuff. When it got to Mike, he said something about his feelings for a girl (for some reason it wasn't El, just a petty crush). Robin suddenly goes "come on, you're going to pull that straight romance shit here?". Mike is confused, Robin asks Steve to back her up but he sort of chimes in like "C'mon, I don't want to do that like this." Robin goes ahead anyways, and says "yeah, I bet all we'd have to do is to get you to read out your diary and the portal would start opening, there's gotta be some intense emotions in there all about Will". She's slightly mocking, she's pissed about being stuck in the UD/doesn't feel positively about Mike. Mike is still insistent he doesn't know what she's talking about although he's starting to get uncomfortable. Robin says that it's fairly obvious, finally gets Steve to back her up so he chimes in like "as a kind of surrogate big brother to all you kids, I've had to see the relationship between you two over the years... At first maybe it was just friendship, and maybe you could brush it off as Will feeling a certain way, but I've also seen you", and then it starts showing this montage thing of Mike/Will. It also does show Mike having a crush on Eddie to show it isn't just coming from Will. He goes on "it's your choice if you want to make it platonic, but you've been doing this to this poor boy for years, I hoped you knew what you were doing because I don't want to see Will get hurt". (He's taking on the role of Jonathan a bit here as well as Eddie in a way, apparently my brain can't tell the difference between brotherly older dudes with long hair). Mike is starting to realize now, freaking out, a sort of wind picks up around them/electricity is crackling and shit. He did know about his feelings, but he's freaking out about the idea of them being obvious to others and at the thought of confronting them, especially of telling Will.
Robin comes in a little more gently, maybe regretting how she had acted, saying something like "I know it's scary but you can't just keep running from it. You're the only one who can do this, you have to take some pride in yourself" (or something a little more heartfelt probably). Mike still pushes them both away, he's sort of sobbing at this point, and finally cracks start forming and a portal tears open. They manage to all get through the portal, back into the regular world, and somehow meet back up with the rest of the group. They're being questioned on what happened, but Steve and Robin only give the barebones of what they were doing and how they got out. Mike is still basically shellshocked by the whole situation, like still shaking, but trying to hide his tears and shit. He still hasn't met back up with Will.
I think either the episode ended there or I just paused cuz I was freaking out a little bit, but I pulled out my phone to check Tumblr and basically go "WE'RE FUCKING WINNING Y'ALL" and suddenly my brain went, "it's weird how early they released this" and then I was forcefully woken up. I was so excited though y'all I was fully sobbing too because in my brain it was being done very masterfully. In reality there's... Some flaws with the execution, but I'm glad I know now what it feels like to Win. Manifesting my dreams are at least mildly prophetic dkdkdj
#the emotions i felt yall i was so excited#anyways... someday#stranger things s4#byler#also sorry if this unreadable i literally JUST fanboyed myself awake

sorry to post abt bbc les mis first thing in the morning but do you ever think how they put in so much effort to highlight the parallels between marius and cosette's early lives and did nothing with it
they even killed georges off earlier just to make the parallel clearer
davies, whether you like him or not, is very experienced adapting romance novels for television and this is the most conscious choice he made in the screeplay to make marius and cosette's relationship feel more natural in a tv setting but then they never bond about their shared loss, they never talk about their families and their yes kind of abusive households. Hell, Marius escaped his own abusive home and this could very easily lead to cosette realising that marriage is a viable way to get her freedom, being a young woman of society in france. Like, imagine running with Marius was her idea? She's going to england against her will and she tells marius 'let's elope' and he (being marius) is like 'no, I don't want to ruin you, I will do this properly' cause he's a dick but it fits the character
he promises he can do this, and then when he comes back she's gone and he's like 'noooo if I had eloped with her she'd still be here' and he wants to die and so we're back in business as usual, barricade time. Like it's so simple, barely anything changes all you need is a couple lines of dialogue. It's so easyyyyy
davies if you hadn't written the scripts in 15 minutes you would know this
#like he's so busy trying to make things sexy and failing cause there's no fucking sex anywhere#that he forgot to adapt the story#also. let's not beat around the bush here. Man cannot write dialogue

Shusumi for the relationship ask game
i dont know how you even found my blog but thank you *kisses your hand like a prince meeting a princess*
describe their canon relationship/dynamic
oh , you know. sumi is lonely and full of Emotions but doesn’t even know That let alone why she feels it and then a cool guy shows up and is Nice To Her and she goes omg!!! [latches onto him for reasons barely related to Who He Is As A Person] and akira goes Oh another person who wants to use me as a sounding board for their internal monologue. sounds fun :) This probably sounds mean, and almost DEFINITELY is not the dynamic the writers Intended for them to have, but i like it i think its really funny
legit sumi just wants someone to look up to and to rely on and akira was either blessed or cursed by god with a special talent for Being Relied On. she wants to feel like someones helping her and hes happy to help anyone. etc
your ideal/headcanon version of it? how does it differ from how it is in canon & why is this your favorite version? any other alternate versions of it you enjoy?
you know ive thought about royal trio and ive thought abt akesumi friendship but i dont think abt Just These Two that much.
first of all RIP to the person who sent this if they come back hoping for some Clearly Romantic ShuSumi Takes but to me they are like siblings. sumire doesnt Realize theyre siblings but akira is just constantly taking new younger siblings under his wings and she is included. theyre siblings in a very drastically different way from akira & futaba though akira and futaba are loud and obnoxious and chase each other around sojiros house like a couple of grade schoolers and sumi is not completely barred from that but her and akira are more like. they meet up and sumi talks about her Life and her Feelings and akira gives her Just Enough Advice To Be Helpful Without Being Pushy and then they, like, look at college application forms together or something. its practical, i guess is what im saying. akira Sometimes bullies and pesters her (affectionate) but her reactions dont tend to be very strong so its not as fun.
im Neutral on genuinely romantic shusumi, to me they are not that interesting as a ship and also they are both gay in the wrong direction and also they are big brother little sister mode, but i do exist in a state of absolute fascination with like. comphet shusumi. literally sumire is going I want a Perfect Life and that means Living Stereotypical Heterosexual Romance Tropes :) and she thinks she has found her opportunity here and is telling herself Yes i am IN LOVE! this is what that is! I cannot conceive of a version of the akira from my brain who doesnt know full well hes gay but if he somehow didnt wouldnt these 2 cringefail straight dating living their ridiculously played-straight damsel in distress & noble hero story be the funniest thing ever. And by that i mean fascinating and a torment labyrinth i wish them luck escaping
Also i think they are getting along fine and normal the way they are but like. sumire “used to relying on other people A Lot” yoshizawa and akira “just wants to help people. A Lot” kurusu. They can either have the perfect friendship that is exactly what sumi needs where he has the right level of involvement to help her gain confidence in herself while still knowing she can turn to someone for help. Or go straight off a cliff into bizarre codependency.
Basically I like it when things have the potential to be kind of fucked up. But they aren’t these guys are normal. They just sit in leblanc telling each other dad jokes. Akira buys a wallet just to put a comically large collection of photos of sumi’s greatest achievements in them and proudly show it off to his friends. She gradually goes from reacting to him experiencing something Comically Bad but Harmless like tripping over something with giggling immediately deliberately stifled by SORRY IMSOSORRY ARE YOU OKAY, to just openly laughing at him and he pretends to be annoyed but he’s happy about it.
what do you like about their relationship, why is it interesting or enjoyable to you?
I like Akira World’s Most Big Brother Moments #227. i like all the different winding pathways the concept of Them can go down bc i like having things to pick apart and analyze and look at from hundreds of different angles. i like. the video game persona 5 royal
what about the individual characters involved? what does this relationship mean to them, what makes it unique among their relationships?
No matter what, like. Sumire at the point in time where they meet NEEDS this, i think. Her sister just Died and she doesn’t really know it but she’s trying to figure out her place in the world Without her and also if the fact that most shujin students seem to dislike her is anything to go off of she doesn’t really like, have friends? She needs like. A hand to help her up. Someone To Lean On. Sort of like how Becoming Kasumi was not, like, The Best Solution To Her Problems, but was really helpful in getting her through that period of her life. & now she has someone who will listen to her and help her unconditionally and that is Great for her. She looks up to Akira she admires him she is eternally thankful & grateful to him. And also is convinced she’s in love with him
As for akira i . </3 For most of the time they know each other she’s kind of Just Some Girl He Knows. he definitely cares about her a lot & they have the chance to get closer in third sem what w her being Herself again & she Is part of his Little Sibling Collection. but i cant think of anything akira is getting out of this relationship aside from general Human Socialization. he just want to protect it want to see it grow up healthy (i say that a lot huh.)
favorite interaction they have in canon
Zero interest in them as a couple but sumis romance route IS one of the best things in all of p5 just for the scene where akira leans on leblancs counter Like That and stares at her just to be a Nuisance
favorite interaction they have in your head/a situation you want to put them in
oh god oh fuck i dont know uhhhhh. I think THEY should bully akechi together. I think sumi should get mad at akira. Not for anything in particular i just think sumi has the potential to be very mean if she will allow herself to Feel Negative Feelings and i like conflict between friends. Sumire tries to teach him gymnastics and he forgets hes not in a palace and does something stupid and embarrassing like faceplanting into a wall for no reason and shes very polite about it at first but in the long run she will not let him live it down. umm. thats it. i like them <3

song tag!
i was tagged by @albatris (thank u sm i love doing these!!<3) to pick some theme songs for my main characters but i am choosing to make it just a general nano story song tag bc i only recently mentioned an eliada song & cannot elaborate on [gestures] and wanna talk abt nano vibe songs :>
THE QUIET PLACE
aka ah shit here we go again another screenplay abt shitty immortals. this time with less murder (some murder) and more homoeroticism. its like a debate club in here iykwim
don't fall asleep at the helm / sleeping with sirens
i lost my heart, my home is the ocean,
the waves underneath will soon be my home,
i will fall asleep.
i'll close my eyes and dream of days when i wasn't all alone
:))))))) central conceit of the entire endeavor. i don't have to say anything more here i am just excited to dust off tge mechanics and make em hurt the same way again but different :3>
& genuinely this is the only true song for minor so far but i've been curating a few additional vibes i wna share. leaning into the unholy romance angle bc i wanna see how badly i can crash this car lmao
mr. fear / siamés
you know / i'll never disappear // just trust in me my dear / no cure is coming near // i'm not here to fulfill your parody // +++
how come my song becomes unreal? you never understand my melodies
remixing the good old unlicensed doctor/patient dynamic for minor eli/gray here :3 plus i promise even without linn around i will make this abt melodies. leaning into smth that only got the smallest of mentions in main tge >:3 i want to talk abt it but also U WILL SEE!!
evil in a closet / in flames
((from the album 'soundtrack to your escape' that includes the song 'the quiet place' ;3 which is a mainline canon gr*y song but does not fit screenplay context. but i had to include smth from the album for good measure)) so i went with the hardest self-drag:
i sink in waters deep
your presence kept me floating far from depths where secrets lie
maybe in another lifetime i can be the first you meet
and other romance crimes on main. also cannot resist the ocean imagery thruline!!!!!!! this is going to be SO MUCH FUN :D!
also tagging @ispybluesky @cospinol @wolfandrat to do this for ur nanowrimo projects i wanna know!!!!! >:3c
#i love that managed to put essentially zero information in this post unless you are alrdy familiar with tge#i just dont wanna preempt all the very fun conceits and angles this is going to have!!!!!!! i will post unwise snippets in november anyway#take this as a primer and a promise i am going to be as irresponsible as possible when handling eliada/gray#they deserve nothing but im going to give them everything and it's going to suck. impossible fun hrs ahead#tag memes#was this my tag? WHO KNOWS#also slotting this into#tge blogging#for good measure

HI JAY UM . i'd like to hear about aro suzie q :000!
HI BASIL!!! :D I am MORE than happy to talk abt her omg, I've had this little hc floating around since I first watched battle Tendency last September and it's one of my faves ^^
I hc Joseph as gay which plays a pretty big part in all this too btw
So honestly this hc has to do with the lack of romance/chemistry between Joseph and Suzie throughout part 2. The only times we see them interact properly are when Esidisi is possessing/transferring to Suzie after Joseph defeats him. The scene is supposed to hint at their budding relationship, but it really doesn't feel romantic to me lol. Joseph is a known flirt and likes winding people up, and the things he says to Suzie ("If we were ever to fall madly in love with each other, you could kiss [my lips] all you'd like") come off as more playful and teasing rather than genuine. And her reactions are even less convincing, since she calls him weird and ugly straight to his face. She does blush when she walks away, but to me that only really adds to the forced-ness of the whole thing.
The other scene is when the main trio are off to Switzerland and Joseph makes them turn the car around so he can yell back as Suzie. But again, he just calls her ugly!! And we're supposed to believe she's blushing and falling for that? Honestly, they're genuinely the least romantic scenes for a canon pair I've ever seen lmao.
And them getting married after spending 2 weeks together (after the most traumatic days of Joseph's life btw) was just silly. I know there's the theory that they got married early bc Suzie got pregnant with Holly, but I just don't buy that tbh.
To me, I think it makes a lot more sense that Joseph proposed to Suzie because he was still processing his grief and trauma from the pillarmen. She has some resemblance to Caesar (Blonde, Italian, talking shit about Joseph to his face, plus they were close before Joseph met them) so instead of taking the time to process how he was feeling and what had happened, he basically uses Suzie as a scapegoat to reflect his feelings for Caesar (and men in general) onto instead.
Suzie knows exactly what he's doing; AND THIS IS WHERE MY HC COMES IN. I think Suzie's struggled with her lack of attraction for most of her life. She took a job on the island with Lisa Lisa because then she could escape all the questions from friends and family about boys or marriage or children, because Lisa Lisa certainly doesn't care, and there's no boys or marriage or children on the island. But now the Pillarmen are defeated and there's no need for anyone to stay on the island, so Suzie has to go back to her old life. But suddenly a rich, handsome Englishman who she now considers a good friend is offering her an escape from everything again, this time through marriage. She says yes because she knows she'll never get a better offer. She knows Joseph doesn't love her like that. But also, I think she does it a bit as a way to process Caesar's death too, they find comfort in each other's grief because they know what they're both going through.
And with the whole "Cheating" situation, I know people say it's ooc for Joseph but I disagree, if only because I don't think he ever actually loved Suzie. He probably had multiple affairs as well, and Suzie probably knew. Joseph isn't subtle, after all. But honestly? She's glad he is, because it means she doesn't have to pretend she loves him anymore, and they both get what they want. By this point they definitely have a strong platonic relationship, and that's what keeps them going as a pair. Basically they're in an open marriage lol.
The only reason she's so mad abt Josuke is because now everyone knows he's "cheating" instead of it being between them, which leads to newspaper headlines and public embarrasment for Suzie.
#SORRY IF THIS MAKES NO SENSE IT'S NEARLY 2 AM#ty for asking abt this tho!! im rlly happy i got to ramble abt it finally<333#jay answers#fullmusicbard

i’m not too sure about how some Japanese style weddings go now, but can u write something for sasuke having to remove to garter from underneath the s/o gown on their wedding day. although i also think he would a be shy abt it.
“Special Day,” Sasuke x Fem!Reader
Summary: How your wedding with Sasuke would go.
Warnings: none!
A/N!!!! I don’t know anythinnnnng about Japanese weddings and I’m not going to sit here and embarrass myself or disrespect their culture in any type of way so I’m going to keep this as just a modern wedding if that’s fine with you guys! If needed, I could definitely educate myself on it and write another version! Ty ty.
.
.
.
.
The wedding day had came around extremely quickly, making the nerves bottle up inside of you even more than before. You were convinced Sasuke would run out on you or not bother to show up at the venue at all but it was only your anxiety talking.
You knew just how much he loved you and how confident he was in marrying you and even though he wasn’t big on romance, he had made sure to make the proposal as special as he could, you deserved that much.
As the morning and afternoon went by shifty, you were now standing in front of him at the end of the aisle in a big dress. Sasuke was pretty good on holding in his emotions but at the sight of you, he couldn’t help but tear up and wonder how he ended up getting lucky for someone to stick around and deal with him.
Your eyes had watched his shaky hands slip the ring up your finger, making you laugh quietly under your breath as you done the same thing, feeling his thumb brush over your knuckles as his head turned to make eye contact with you.
The butterflies that had exploded inside of your stomach felt almost like it could make you faint. It was such an overwhelming feeling that you had but it was all pure happiness and bliss.
“You may kiss your bride.”
Those words you’ve been waiting for felt like heaven and the way his hands had instantly grab a hold of you and his soft lips smash onto yours like he hadn’t kissed you in years.
He truly felt like he waited forever to do this and it felt like the ceremony was already extremely long but he was more than happy to let you have your way with the wedding, knowing your dream was for it to be big and extravagant.
You could hear your friends and family cheering and clapping, making you pull away with a flushed face and he set his fingers on your chin, pecking your lips one last time before holding your hand to walk back down the aisle as now a married couple.
It felt surreal to Sasuke, it felt like he was in some kind of dream that he was about to wake up from any minute but your hand giving his hand gentle squeezes, it reassured him that this was reality.
“I love you.” He blurted out, making your eyes move up to his and you could see the admiration written across his face as he stared down at you.
“I love you, always.”
The night had went on, you both had shared your first dance, you both had cut the cake, ate the food and took plenty of photos with not only each other but with everyone who had came to your wedding.
It was very long but eventful evening but once it came to the removing the garter underneath your dress, Sasuke had tried convincing you to not do it because of how awkward it was going to be.
“C’mon, it’ll be fun!” You tried to reassure him, reaching up to brush your fingertips along his cheek and he shook his head.
“I don’t know, me putting my head under your dress and go between your legs in front of everyone just makes me feel nervous. Shouldn’t we save that for tonight? When we’re alone?” He was confused on this lame tradition that you wanted to do so desperately.
He felt as if there wasn’t a point to do it and he felt embarrassed even thinking about being that explicit in front of their family and friends just to bite down on a piece of fabric and tug it off your legs.
It sounded a little too sexual to do in the middle of the dance floor but you insisted it was only fun and games, everybody does it at their weddings but it still didn’t make him feel comfortable.
“Do you trust me?” You asked him, reaching your hand out to grab a hold of his and he nodded slowly.
“Of course I do, what kind of question is that.”
“Then trust me when I say that it’s harmless and it’s just a game. No need to be nervous or embarrassed.” He huffed out a breath as he listened to your words and finally gave in.
It didn’t take long for you to be seated on a chair in the middle of the dance floor, watching his eyes go wide once he kneeled down in front of you. Soon his cheeks started to turn a dark shade of red as he looked up at you.
You started to encourage him, trying to ease up his nerves and it helped enough for him to somewhat lift up your dress for him to stick his head underneath and latch onto the thin piece of fabric that wrapped around your thigh.
Your friends were already tipsy enough to start cheering Sasuke on, especially Naruto who screamed at him to get it like there was a time limit. Once he had managed to pull it off your leg, his face was now red hot from and he quickly stood up.
“That was embarrassing.” He mumbled, making a laugh escape your lips while wrapping your arms around him tightly.
“You did great! Stop being so shy.” You mumbled, planting soft kisses on his hot cheeks, making him roll his eyes playfully.
Sasuke would be lying if he said he didn’t enjoy the activities for tonight. He was never a big social person when it came to big events, he was hardly social at all but being here tonight, getting married to you and interacting with everyone made him all bubbly and giddy inside.
He couldn’t help but feel the burst of excitement and happiness inside of his chest. It was such a new and fresh feeling for him, it felt good but at the same time he didn’t want to show or admit it, he liked keeping his calm cool and collected attitude to show how unbothered he could be.
But as he watched your face light up and beam with happiness tonight from being able to have your dream wedding, everything was worth it, everything was worth dealing with for you.
He didn’t care about anything else, he was just grateful to be able to give someone like you amazing things such as this.
.
.
.
.
Short but sweet, idk tried to make him as flustered as possible. Hope it somewhat went good.
I’m still getting back into this writing thing, I’m hoping I’m not fucking it up all over again sheesh

may we hear more abt the gay little pseudo-hungarian kings and their setting🤲 ive literally never seen any fictional worlds take inspo from my country plus i am obsessed w/ ur boys
AWH thanks so much for asking! I'd LOVE to ramble about my boys and the setting! Sorry for the long response ahead... fair warning..
The game is called The Devil City & Its 77 Vicious Princes. It's a super free ttrpg my DM @dukerin0 made! You can play as one of the sexy 77 nobles in the city of Zarkany which sits right upon the mouth of Hell. Lots of scheming political subterfuge, courtly intrigue and drama (ROMANCES INCLUDED if you're big on that like me teehee) and the best part DEVILS AND MAGIC LIVE IN THIS SETTING! It's a great twist and SUCH a fun setting to explore. I could go on but honestly check it out yourself and if you're interested feel free to give my DM a lil love and follow him on Twitter.
His game is also part of the TTRPGs for Reproductive Rights bundle if you want to support a good cause.
As for the Hungarian inspiration, to quote my DM: "It's inspired in part by the 1514 peasant revolt and resulting Tripartitum. I used it as inspiration for law-immune magnates running a lawless civilization."
There's also a few NPCs he's created and named that do little nods to some historical Hungarian figures.
-~-~-~-~-~-~
NOW ONTO TALKING A LIL ABOUT MY BOYS TOMAJ AND MÁTYÁS BELOW!!!
Tomaj (right) belongs to me and Mátyás (left) belongs to @uldren-sov
Tomaj is just a simple, humble blacksmith living in the tillage on the outskirts of the Zarkany called Brelia. For some small context, Brelia is a suzerainty of Zarkany, completely autonomous but subordinate to the High Counts that rule the City. In his younger 20s, he left his village and joined a small group of a freedom fighter revolutionaries that sought liberation from Zarkany. He's seen a few skirmishes in his time, and the dangerous magic that Zarkanians wield but when word got back to him that his father fell ill, he left the cause behind to take care of him, and in his father's inevitable passing, it made him the sole inheritance of the family farm and forge. He's spent a lot of his life living in solitude after that.
Mátyás was raised a wealthy and privileged courtier within the city of Zarkany. He grew up hating how vapid the social politicking of it all was despite this, and especially as his parents were trying to set him up with Princes to further their family's social standing. Not only was it all incredibly vapid to him but also dangerous given the lawlessness that Princes run in this city so he escaped to the Paraspire; a college within Zarkany that taught magic. He found his passion and calling in magic, and upon his graduation he sought to learn by traveling abroad to seek further knowledge. He's been on the road all on his own since then, a traveling academic and explorer, and in those years he's become something of a pioneer in discovering revolutionary magics in doing so.
Mátyás encountered Tomaj and his little village during his travels. He ended up commissioning the mans for a new weapon to which Tomaj took on. Mátyás was absolutely smitten by the mans; so rugged and handsome and sunkissed with freckles like wow!!! meanwhile Tomaj was incredibly reserved and unperturbed by Mátyás's attempts at flirtations or advances LOL. He's got some high guards up just by his nature and some of his experiences within the village that left him something of a social outcast, and overall distrust of travelers who come through his village given he's seen it all.
Anyway, these two end up having a few encounters here and there and Tomaj doesn't learn that he's a mage until Mátyás saves his village from bandits that rolled into town, making a flashy display of wielding fire with that NEW SWORD TOMAJ MADE HIM. The village vilifies him instantly and Tomaj can't sit by, despite his distrust of Zarkanians and magic itself, and watch it happen especially when Mátyás took a bullet and was in need of medical attention.
.. So he stood up for him against his own village, wow so gallant what a hero, and ushered him back to his place where he remained there for a few days to heal. Mátyás at this point has no damn idea what the man even thinks of him, constantly teetering on hopeless and hopeful that there might be something there between them meanwhile Tomaj is Struggling to decipher his feelings on the man especially upon learning what he was and had kept secret.
Cue the bullet wound festering into an infection and Tomaj, unable to just let the man leave with how ill he's gotten on his own, ultimately decides to go with him. They race horseback all the way back to Zarkany to see Mátyás's friend and physician (MY PRINCE ETHANAEL). Cue some dramatic scene of Mátyás passing out in the middle of their travels and Tomaj having to TRULY RACE ALL BY HIMSELF TO THIS FORIEGN CITY TO SAVE THIS MAN'S LIFE AGAIN. Tomaj is just PUTTING SO MUCH ON THE LINE FOR THIS MANS, THIS MAGE AND ZARKANIAN, THE VERY IMAGE OF WHAT HE'S FOUGHT AGAINST AND HARBORS DISTRUST FOR, AND FOR WHAT??? HE DOESN'T KNOW. IS IT FEELINGS? IS IT BC IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO? WHO IS TO SAY.
Anyway, they kiss after that and become an incredibly adorable lil couple living out in the tillage, occasionally traveling abroad together (or more like Mátyás dragging him to be his purse holder exploring new towns and places of power so he can study his magic while tomaj enjoys the views and new sights and keeps him out of too much trouble) . They learn a lot through each other, from their experiences as Brelian and Zarkanian alike, in their differences in upbringing and class and it's such a lovely little opposites attract dynamic. MWAH!!!
#*tomaj#*matyas#*Mátyás#should i feel bad about rambling as much as i did... mebe but I SHANT#hope u like it... i love them :/ sm ur honor...#THANK YOU FOR SENDING THIS ASK!!!

i think that although the theories/aus of puffy's son dream and wil's brother dream are interesting to think about, especially the implications, the (probably) canon statement that he really has no family to me hits the hardest. because it's just dream, you know. his friends hate him, he has none (p relatable), but i can't really imagine,, both not having friends and not having a family. that's kind of what keeps a lot of us sane and okay ( - quill anon (same anon from the c!tubbo c!wil ask) )
ouch quill anon ,, this ask Hurt. it’s true - usually, it’s our family and friends that keep us going, that are the ones that we fight for and live for and love for. c!dream’s “family” was his reasoning behind ,, a lot of the stuff he did, good or bad, and even now you can hear his desperation in getting someone, anyone to visit sometimes, in wanting to know how people are doing outside the cell.
at the same time, he’s a character very much defined by his solitude, by his isolation, by all of the time he has spent,, alone. by the alliances that had been broken, betrayed, forgotten. by how- at the end of the day - he sits for hours on end in an obsidian box with nothing but his thoughts to accompany him. it’s awfully ,, sad, despite everything he’s done. through it all, he’s alone. he survives the horrors of the vault (until this current arc) alone. nobody’s there to hear his thoughts. nobody knows his mindset, or feelings, or wants, or anything that really makes him human. for someone so driven by people, he spends so much time completely isolated - and it’s. honestly really, really tragic.
anyway, this is a sad little drabble set pre-roommates arc abt c!dream in the prison, alone, bc he makes me Sad.
tw: mentioned torture, abuse, violence, broken bones, blood, injuries, mental deterioration, isolation, panic attacks, self-deprecation, trauma, memory loss, death, contemplations of death, dark content, dark imagery
The blank book in his hand stares at him stubbornly, the stark white of the untouched pages nearly burning his eyes, used to the dark walls and floor of the cell. Dream’s hand shakes around his quill, ink splotches marring the pages from where his too-unsteady hand had let the nib brush against the paper and left freckles of black spots behind. He pulls his thumb back from the bottom left corner, hissing slightly when it leaves a dull red fingerprint behind, a smudge of half-dried blood further dirtying the paper.
He’d pulled out one of the books for some reason, probably on a whim, letting his hands run over the leather spine and along the thread of the binding absentmindedly after Quackity left for the day. He hadn’t touched them in a while - he liked to save them, at the beginning, just in case visitors came and he wanted to thank them or if he needed to communicate (though he hadn’t gone silent since Sapnap left, ‘cause Sapnap wanted him to talk and he doesn’t know why he still clings to that visit when it’s been months and he still hasn’t come back, but he promised that if Dream behaved he’d visit again and - it’s stupid to hope, but Dream can’t give up, not yet) and then he kept them because he would need them for the revive book and the Warden would confiscate them, anyway, so it was better not to get attached. Regardless, he’d stubbornly ignored the chest of books for a long time, let the remain closed and the clasp go unlatched as he wasted his days away watching the walls drip bright purple and pretend he didn’t miss his clock.
Until now.
He runs his fingers along the surface of the paper again, ignoring the red and black smudges they leave in their wakes, ruining the previously unblemished pages. The paper is smooth, bearing a very slight grain, and smells clean and woody - this book must’ve been a newer one the Warden replaced into the chest. He’d counted the pages a few times, front and back - there are fifty sheets, so a hundred pages to use as he sees fit, completely empty and untouched. The quill shakes in his hand, the tip pressed against the paper, unmoving.
What is there to write?
He’s forgotten why he pulled out the book in the first place, already - his head keeps getting fuzzier, memory impossibly fragmented and seemingly worsening with every passing day. He knows he had a reason because he’d been very determined about it, had spent what must have been hours dragging himself along the obsidian floor with a broken shinbone jutting out of his right leg and a dislocated left shoulder that he’d taken an extra few minutes to jam back in place by pressing it against the floor. Something had come into his head, probably in the middle of Quackity’s daily session, and he’d found himself desperate to write it down before he forgot despite the throbbing of his head and the pain in his chest making it impossible to take a full breath.
(He must have talked back, or acted defiant, or something - he doesn’t remember much besides the look Quackity had given him after, dark and angry and tight with rage. There had been a hand tangled in his hair, a blade jammed right up against his throat, curses and screams in his ears dying into a singular ringing echo as the blade was pushed deeper and deeper. It wasn’t until a few minutes later when Quackity realized that he’d gone too deep and that Dream was choking on his own blood - his memories shatter, and there’s nothing but more screaming, red and black and blood everywhere, warm against his skin, the sweet-sour taste of glistening melon on his tongue, a healing pot desperately stitching his skin together and bringing him back from the darkness that he’d swelled in the corners of his vision - mostly, he remembers everything going cold and numb and he’d realized, halfway into the Void, that he would never leave the Vault alive.)
His hands tighten on the book as he breathes a shallow, harsh breath through his teeth, because - oh. Oh. He looks back at the trembling white plume in his hand, at his shaking fingers clenched tightly near the end, and he swallows the thick, heavy feeling in his throat. Quackity had- and he had- and then-
Right.
He forces air into his lungs steadily, counting the seconds off in his head. He’d learned how to stave off panic attacks on his own ages ago, and the knowledge had come to full use in the Vault - the struggle to stay calm seems harder with every passing day, but he can’t exactly risk himself passing out every three seconds when he’s inevitably set off by the smell of blood or a twinge of pain or any of the million other triggers crammed into this tiny box that’s been the source of all of his torment for months. He keeps up the slow, steady breathing for another few minutes, just enough time to pull back the darkness creeping in from the edges of his vision, and looks back down at the blank paper.
It stares back at him, almost judgmental of his hesitancy. You opened me up, it seems to challenge him, why aren’t you writing? The quill still shakes in his hand. He doesn’t know if it’ll ever stop shaking again.
Dear, he begins, almost in defiance, proof that he Is Going To Write Something, thank you very much, he isn’t just going to chicken out and leave it a blank book (like you have before?) but the quill tip digs into the paper as he grinds to a sudden halt, the empty space next to the first word nearly taunting. He feels his mouth dry, heat rising behind his eyes - the book, silent and blank as ever, stays imprinted in his vision even as he squeezes them shut.
Dear, what a stupid, sentimental way to start a letter. He can’t even fool himself into thinking of it as a business venture, turn it into an elaborate plan to escape and address it to either Techno or Wilbur (who would never receive his message anyway), not without admitting his regard for the two edged past his pretense of professional interested and owed favors. He can hardly write it to Ranboo, not without compromising their already fragile alliance (if it even exists, anymore. The enderman hybrid had yet to visit for months - and sure, it was probably for the best, who knows how Quackity would react if he found out about the nature of their relationship, but that didn’t make it sting any less.)
In the back of his minds, name rise from where he’d kept them carefully buried despite his best efforts. Punz. Bad. Puffy. Sapnap. George. He shakes his head, trying to wave away them from his thoughts, but the effort is as fruitless as it has always been - he stares at the first word angrily, like it has betrayed him, and receives no response. The words are messy, shaking, his script overly looping and rounded like a child’s. He hates it, hates how cheery it looks, even on the bloodstained page - it looks like the beginning of a birthday card, or a perhaps a particularly dedicated Halloween party invite. Like he’s some sort of lovesick teen, writing letters to crushes that would never pay him a second glance. He laughed a little, without any real humor - minus the romance, that description isn’t all that far off.
Because- well. His memories might be shot to all hell, but he doubts he’ll ever forget the hatred on Sapnap’s face, a loaded crossbow pointed between his eyes, George’s expression set in disinterested apathy - “George, you can give the word.” Bad’s face, twisted in pity and resignation, voice carefully measured as he looks away and gestures at the cell, “you did do some pretty bad stuff to get put in here though, Dream,” the hidden “you deserve it” that he’d heard, just as clearly behind the words. Punz - “you should’ve paid me more” - jaw set stiffly as people poured through the portal, watching, wordless, as Dream bled out twice on that blackstone floor. Puffy, poorly hidden disgust flickering over her face as she looks away from him being dragged away in chains, sword held steady in her hands. Sapnap, that same fiercely determined expression on his face so familiar that thinking of it aches, even now, “it’s gonna be me, who takes your final life.” Months and months and months and months, alone.
Always, always, alone.
The page makes a quiet, complaining groan under his pen - he looks down to see it torn under the tip of his quill, the word completely unreadable under line after line of black ink scratched over it, each one deeper than the last. He stares blankly at it for a few minutes longer, the brief flash of anger that had seared through his body settling into numbness once more.
To whoever may find this: he scratches the words on the page slowly, keeping his print deliberately blocky and neat. The heavy feeling in his throat returns, stronger than ever, and he ignores it as he pushes on.
He pauses for a moment, wondering what more to write. Apologies? Accusations? He could detail every second that he remembers from Quackity’s visits, describe every inch of pain that had been pulled from his aching lungs, every line etched into his skin. He could apologize for every act of cruelty that had ever been caused by his hands, every bridge he’d ever torched to light the path to a better future. He could explain - everything, every tortured thought that had circled his head for hours on end and every night that had passed without any sleep and every time he’d pushed on without complaint or hesitancy because it would be worth it, even if he was the only one who saw it, it would be worth it because he’d sacrifice too much for it to be anything but. He could- he could, he could write and write until he’d filled every page of every book back and front, and would they even believe him? Would it even matter?
Goodbye, he writes at last. It feels strangely final. (He won’t be leaving this Vault alive. He knows this as surely as he knows that he will leave this world uncared for, unheard. As surely as he knows that he’ll always be alone.) With a quick snap of magic following the signing of his name, the book is preserved, shining slightly with a purple glow as he sets it back down in the chest. He looks around, the cell once again stiflingly quiet without the book to busy him, Dream once again completely alone as he’s been for - well.
(Pandas, eyebrows drawn in uncharacteristic seriousness from the usually painfully spirited eight-year-old, pinkie raised between the two of them, solemnity belied by the gap in his front teeth poking out between his lips.
“We’ll be together forever,” he whispered with the volume control you’d expect from a kid that age, which is to say that it wasn’t much of a whisper at all, but Dream, newly ten years old, remembers being particularly moved by the gesture anyway, moving to hesitantly hook his own pinkie in the other’s.
“And we’ll never be alone ever again,” he’d replied, voice faraway with a disbelieving sort of awe.”
“Never,” Pandas’ voice had been just as firm as his first statement, twisting his wrist to tighten the grip of their linked fingers further. “Best friends for ever and ever, right?”
“For ever and ever.”)
“For ever and ever,” he whispers, eyes fluttering shut as he slumps down against the floor, and only the lava bubbles in reply.

Fruits Basket Manga Review, ch (92-93)
That was painful & so well-written! This analysis will focus on kyokyo mainly & faintly on her effect on kyo. Although, her story affects tohru’s life immensely, I won’t analyze tohru’s part & will wait until it’s a tohru’s chapter to use the knowledge of kyoko’s past to better read tohru’s mind & understand her decisions! Can’t wait! after all, that’s why I’ve read the manga to begin with!
-Kyoko’s Atonement: (the weight of words):
Kyoko breaks down after she learns she’s expecting. Why? cuz she hurt her mom. The notion that “yeah my parents caused me emotional trauma & so I’mma hurt them as well” is toxic & burdening as it starts a cycle of pain. Kyoko was right. She had no idea how her mom felt seeing her rebel, or follow violence or hear her harsh words. I’m not cleansing the mom from guilt nor responsibility. I’m just saying since the mom’s pov is blocked from us, assuming shes similar to the dad is wrong. kyoko’s fear of being punished with a child similar to herself is genuine, realistic & refreshing to see expressed in anime! usually character like kyoko are cool & brave, but here she’s humanly weak & doubtful. LOVE IT!
Moreover, in furuba words weigh on ppl & have consequences. We see this with kyo. His dad destroyed him verbally with words “ not my fault, it’s yours” that kyo echoes back to yuki! meaning the consequences of the dad’s words cause harm to his wife, kyo & even yuki!. Kyo was tormented with his own words for long time & clung to them even more in order not to resort to suicide! “ not my fault, it’s the rat’s” . Words can crush you down so bad if you hear them from loved ones, & worse if you utter them back to other loved ones! here kyoko learned that just the mere thought of her future child echoing her words back to her would torment her to death! Excellent writing!
-Katsuya invented Furuba’s vision (Accepting weakness & moving on):
The teachings of kyoko & tohru were really katsuya’s after all. I’m fne with that. These teachings are the core of Furuba’s vision. He tells kyoko to accept that she’s weak, afraid & doubtful. it’s okay. But gives her tools to move on. Your kid isn’t you. They’re an individual person. As parents all we can do is give love/hugs (sth kyoko’s parents didnt do), listen to them (sth yuki’s parents didnt do) & if they do sth wrong will explain it & teach them well (sth kyo’s parents didn’t do, his wrong deed was being born a cat spirit & he was hated for it with no explanation, mom gave lots of “fake” love & escaped by death, dad became a raging monster). Accepting weakness & moving on is what the cursed sohmnas needed to do to heal & what tohru taught them. Off course, tohru herself struggled to follow her own teachings & that’s amazingly realistic!
-Kyoko’s guilt (punishment brings ease):
Kyoko wanted to be punished so harsh for her husband’s death. The gossip got to her. She failed him as a life’s companion. Taking care of our loved ones is a duty we carry with much love & care. Them slipping away is perceived as us failing by none than ourselves. The thing is, death comes with no warning at times. It was his time to leave. Accepting it or not, wont bring him back, but accepting it will help kyoko deal with pain while not accepting will cause more pain for her & tohru.
One of the most painful things abt grief is that it’s personal. Life continues around you. Only you feel it. “didn’t the world end when katsuya died”. No kyoko. Only you died emotionally. Only him died physically. Kyo once said “ mom why didn’t you kill me instead”. A different reaction to grief, guilt & pain, but same conclusion: neither katsuya nor kyo’s mom are coming back no matter how much pain kyo or kyoko felt.
Kyoko found ease in emotional death, neglecting & refusing life, punishing herself for staying after him.
kyo found ease in rage & blaming others as he his father did, later he’ll escape to emotional & physical slow death “ cat cage/confinement”.
tohru... found ease in pretending "I’m okay” & her mom is alive.. but not physically.. emotionally, so she’ll ignore the truth & live only for her.
Didn’t I say grief is harsh, weird & very very personal. It’s hard to explain, deal with & heal. The mere words of consolation hurt cuz the grieving ones dont want to accept loved one are really gone. Her dad’s harsh words cemented the “emotional death” that kyoko felt. I’m not needed. neither katsuya. nor parents in general. depression. misery. sadness. emptiness.
-The tv show helped to trigger kyoko’s desire to “meet” katsuya. She has already reached the conclusion that she isnt needed. So, the tv show with their words of the deceased wanting you to be happy. triggered her into misinterpreting the words as to mean her death NOT fuel her to live in his memory as intended.
- “Loosing your way first before finding your answer” is okay & so human!:
Ironically..Tohru... was the person Kyoko was punishing NOT herself: By being emotionally dead, kyoko neglected her daughter. Her world shouldnt be just one person. There are others. Katsuya himself gave her a person to love. Tohru. Kyoko chose death & unintentionally set tohru into a world of loneliness 10 times harsher thsn what kyoko faced. She was about to do, but was saved by a nameless child who reminded her of tohru. She chose wrong first but later saw her answer. Kyo chose death by accepting the confinement & he, too, unintentionally set tohru into a world of loneliness 10 times harsher if he wasnt with her. He chose wrong first but later saw his answer. Off course kyo’s story is more developed & complicated as he dealt with bigger issues than just tohru & his answer wasn't just loving tohru alone but also loving himself & choosing to live for them both: himself & tohru.
-Kyo’s guilt is a concussion thought eating him alive:
Part of why kyo’s story was one of the most human & complex is due him loosing his way first, failing, repeating mistakes “ I always though that hurting ppl was the only thing I was good at, after all, isnt that why mom died?” Kyo’s nightmare being a conscious effect of hearing tohru’s talk abt “ videos & memories of loved ones” is 1000 times stronger & more human than a cliche effect of seeing a “ hat” & to revive a a blocked memory... What the hell!! truly disgusting how the emotional weigh is reduced for stupid cliche drama !!!!!! ..
Anyway, kyo actively & consciously wanted punishment .He was sure that kyoko blamed him” I wont forgive you” can only mean what it literally means. The purpose of the nightmare is to cause kyo to seek “ emotional death” like kyoko & to loose his path more. It is meant to prepare kyo to refuse tohru even more. Therefore, the pay off at the climax will be better & stronger.
Reading kyo’s inner thoughts will never not be refreshing!!! Also, the slow burn is cooked on low , hot fire , so the pay off will be the most delicious there is!
Side Notes:
I’ve stated my feelings regarding the age gap between kyoko & katsuya in last chapter’s preview post. I’m done with it & won’t let it interfere with my analysis of kyoko nor tohru.
The idea of just being together as a fun hanging out activity without being bothered much of where reminds ms so much of kyo & tohru!! we see them being happy together in the anime in kazuma’s house, shigure’s rooftop, cooking pancake in the kitchen! I really like this domestic feel of romance! it contradicts the notion of expensive restaurant with the girl wearing a breathtaking dress to woo the guy for it to be utterly romantic as we see in movies, & other stories.
NGL, katsuya looked sexy waiting home.. damn it! >_<
I cried watching tohru between her parents, how they acted & how loved she was! T_T. it reminded me of my niece How her dad’s death affected her! She was the apple of his eyes.. T_T.
Tohru is indeed a rice ball! her dad gave her a masculine name while tohru is so feminine! his reasoning is “finding salty taste in sweet things make the taste better & stronger, kinda giving it a hidden flavour”, the rice ball has a pickle inside it & it’s what makes the taste so savory & delicious!
Grandpa’s “ chance meetings could lead to variety of outcomes, good or bad” YES! kyo/tohru/yuki meeting each other by chance. Fiction make it look weird, but trust me, real life has those by dozens!
“ i wonder how lost you’ll be, how much time you’ll need to get your answer”. He will screw up so bad, kyoko! it will be so good! one of the best screw up’s I’ve seen! so painful for him & tohru & amazingly written!
Kyo’s nightmare being connected to him remembering/dreaming of kyoko’s story is bigger effect than opening the ep with it & having the cause be sth that happened last ep, a week ago... the effect is NOT the same.
Momiji is so cute!!! did his curse break here or not yet? he seemed as tall as tohru.
Writing tohru worried abt kyo after seeing him pale is the tohru I know!! Not that stupid girl who watches the guy she loves have a panic attach in se3, ep6, then goes in ep 7...” dahhhh.. Jeez.. I duno why kyo is sleeping until now.. better laugh & make cute rice cakes” giggle giggle...That scene got me so furious even when I first saw it!! THIS IS NOT TOHRU! tohru cried for a stupid story that haru told abt puppets!! she’ll forget the person she challenges herself for is sick?! ugh!
I love seeing yuki & kyo chill & cool around each other.
Kyoko being fully dependent on katsuya can be a factor in her grief, but I’ve seen cases where both partners are independent but still be completely broken after the others’ death. Grief isn’t logical at all & is extremely personal.

kaeya as your boyfriend!
seeing all these hc’s for genshin is making me sob like god damn all these enemies to lovers for childe and lumine is making me simp for him. also i’ll never shut up about kaeya his yoho in the manga reminds me of oikawa and that just throws me into a whole other world of hurt
&& this is potentially the last piece of genshin content that i’ll post in a while bc i don’t just want to write purely abt genshin however !! if someone asks for it who am i to say no?
neways,,, kaeya as ur boyfriend!
the beginning of your relationship would have originated with his confession to you
despite being a huge romantic, kaeya confessed to you with no prior planning, nothing spectacular like a mysterious note leading to a tree caked in snow despite the rest of the world enveloped in a still night
in fact, kaeya hadn’t even come to terms with his true feelings when it occurred, he simply knew that he found you fascinating and of good company. besides, you easily bounced back his roundabout way of talking and your banter provided him good humour
so when the two of you were casually patrolling the streets of the city on the lookout for potential hazards, he’d dropped the bomb mid conversation when you guys were talking about your family
“yeah, i totally get that.” you had said in reply to his advice. “i’m just anxious i guess, on what i should do. after taking so long, is my brother even still alive?” after a shaky inhale, you laughed off the suddenly sombre atmosphere. “sorry, i didn’t mean to bring the mood down. i suppose i just felt a bit alone in this whole situation. its like no one is taking my brother’s disappearance seriously and its being overlooked because of all this dragon business.”
kaeya hadn’t been sure as to what to say for he felt slightly guilty for forgetting the reason why you ended up here as well. he felt an odd pang in his chest at your crestfallen expression, more so at how much you tried to cover it up with a smile.
he’d suddenly turn from walking beside you to standing in front, gauging your expression and successfully halting you in your step
he’d confess with a smile, clearly not expecting a response and solely in hopes of letting you know that he cared for you and you weren’t alone. he wouldn’t be nervous ion think, he knows his worth and would be completely comfortable with only being your friend. he’d let the news comprehend in your mind before turning around, wishing you a goodnight and a slight pun about how the early bird gets the worm
oh boy, kaeya’d would have never expected you to return his feelings but you did anyway, replying in a similar, quiet tone, expressing the emotions that you felt around the ice man and only THEN did he blush. he’d hid the majority of his reddening face behind his palm, looking off the right slightly to try and hide his face from you. the fluistered look on his face sent you out of this world
neways, the night ended in a limbo between awkward, flustered glances and timid silence, and finding the situation hilarious because well,, it just was to you two
the day after that, your relationship was relatively the same
except, kaeya no longer hid his lingering looks at you anymore which made 1). you blush and 2). everyone suspicious
but i mean they called it so,,,
everyone, that is, except paimon who exists only to be the biggest cockblocker you’ve ever met. no like seriously, did almost drowning cause the last sliver of common sense to escape from her?
regardless, paimon was on your ass every. single. time you and kaeya talked whether it be in private or within a group
like that one time when kaeya managed to get you alone in the library, having not had the opportunity to talk to you privately all day
he had stood a little too close to you (bc kaeya is a : dom and towering over you is something he would find pleasure in doing) as you talked. clearly, he wasn’t paying attention to your attempt at small talk instead opting to inch you closer to the wall with a smirk
you’re not completely dense, you knew exactly what he was doing but he was hot so you let it slide, finding the situation kinda addicting to be in
“anyway, amber was telling me something about cleaning up the aftermath of stormterror, something about barricades and the like, are you going to be helping us this time?” you had asked him, eyebrow raised over the book you had clutched to your chest
kaeya smirks and steps closer again, causing you to back away slightly. “and if i don’t?”
“go ahead and find out yourself, pretty boy, see how well that turns out.”
the bored challenge in your voice disappears when he closes the gap between you two, placing a forearm easily above your head and tilting your body in that respective direction, easily caging you in
“caring for me? where did your tsundere act go?” he whispered, breath tickling the hairs framing your face. by now, you were sure it was obvious that you were blushing
your eyes flick to his lips and back to his eye, his own catching the movement and you swore his lips stretched further into that smirk. his face edges closer to yours, a still silence in the form of an inhaled breath tense in the air and just as kaeya’s lips touched your own
the door to the library slams open
kaeya immediately brings his head up and checks behind his shoulder, body still encasing yours but this time in order to protect you
and you can’t see because,, well,, kaeya’s body was obstructing your vision so you turn to look around him but he moves that way too, protecting you from the intruder’s sight
but well, you didn’t need to see the person to know them because their voice was a dead give away
“kaeya!” paimon exclaimed and you hear kaeya’s short huff of exhaustion. “have you seen name? she said she was around here but,,, paimon hasn’t seen her anywhere. why are you looking at paimon like that?”
convinced that she wasn’t a threat, kaeya sighs and leans his forehead against yours. you giggle slightly
paimon finally sees you, at least your figure anyway and gasps. “wait a minute, is that a girl paimon is seeing? kaeya, what are you doing with this girl? unless,,, omg are you cheating on name?”
and without looking at the floating human, kaeya tells her to leave in a firm voice. clearly, he didn’t like any of this bullshit
and paimon gets a little scared before she huffs, telling him that she was totally going to tell you what he was doing
and the door slams after her with extra intended force and with the help of a few icicles
kaeya opens his eyes and gazes longingly at you, frustrated and annoyed at well,, being cockblocked. the moment of intense sexual tension is over and being flustered is well past you know. besides, you kinda wanted to clear up the misunderstanding before paimon spreads some nasty rumour. and sure, kaeya couldn’t care less about his reputation, but you cared about his
so you laugh at his misery and give him a quick peck on the lips before ducking under his arm and exiting the library
kaeya would be a little stunned at your move on him, but he was well aware of your cheeky side. for the rest of the day, he would declare war on you, trying to get you flustered again (bc its funny and cute). he’d do things like cooling his skin when you accidently touch him, standing way too close to you in group discussions and !! breathing down your neck (bc mans has cold breath) and just generally looking at your direction
you’d fight back bc he’s being ridiculous, winking when you caught him staring, squeezing his hand when he walks past and jokingly avoiding his attempts to get you in private
bc i mean, there was a dragon terrorising the world so romance shouldn’t be your first priority
a shame that kaeya thinks he’s all that and confident in his abilities that he’s like yes i can juggle saving the world and winning over my girlfriend in my sleep wym
when this silly “fight” is over, you finally let kaeya drag you into an alleyway, pressing you up against the wall and kissing you without words
and you smile into the kiss bc frustrated kaeya is so cute
and that’s the relationship, just a mix of pure fluff (bc kaeya really does care for you a lot), stupid banter and sexual tension!!
wow!
#kaeya#kaeya x reader#kaeya x lumine#why is kaeya so hot but so weak?#manga kaeya has me feeling some typa way#kaeya fluff#genshin#genshin impact#genshin kaeya

okay i'm back to talk about ace quinn & parker. if this is too rambly ignore me i just don't how to stop talking. this idea came to me after some of the posts about quinn reading/writing romance novellas. at first i thought maybe it's just a fun interest that's very different from Homicide. but you know that post "one of the reasons quinn and parker get along is because all their hobbies have to do w crime" ? that was bugging me. why would quinn, murder kitten, think about romance books so much
so i created this hc of quinn gets into romance novellas because he's ace and there're parts of human relationships he didn't relate to. which, cool, perfect, not a problem. but one day he's bored on a stakeout or something and decides he wants to know more. it started as research, like people watching, and then just. is fun for him so he keeps doing it.
hardison makes flow charts for parker for navigating human interaction and eliot talks thru different dynamics of relationships with quinn. because hardison and eliot both imprint and will do anything for their people.
and then when parker finds out about the romance novellas (or i guess the smut aspect of them? idk?) she's like "i don't get this" and quinn is like "no same"
!!!!!!!! more ace quinn and parker what a gift what a delight.....
i DO know that post [x] (i think) and i love this reasoning!! maybe it starts as vague curiosity, and then partway through the book he's like. wait this is hilarious. this is so funny, obviously no one actually thinks like th—oh. oh wait. oh wait do people....Think. Like This, and suddenly it's a weird little research project and he has a stack of secondhand books in every safehouse with notes in the margins
like, he can't ask a human person because then he'd have to talk to a human person, but he CAN read a romance novella like a textbook and dissect it for useful information to find The Appeal
[readmore bc this got kinda long]
for me, when i was first thinking abt quinn reading Bad Romance Novellas [x] i was thinking bodice rippers/particularly romance novellas of. A Certain Quality/Time/Type, because a lot of them tend to be,,,,,surprisingly dark and kind of distressing with their content, and i think that the idea that these frequently awful people/people who have horrific things happen to them Back To Back To Back can, in the end, have that cheesy picturesque happy ending with 2.5 kids and a golden retriever or whatever you're supposed to want....would be VERY COMPELLING to him for reasons he refuses to explore :3
(and then also like...dramatic romance is absolutely a spectator sport when you don't participate. as an aroace who enjoys shitty dating shows because Why Are These People Acting Like That, the absurdity of the whole thing absolutely backflips directly into comedy when you're watching with an outside perspective, and while i think he would find that kind of show deeply irritating, i think the like...condensed nonsense + internal monologue for Explanation Of The Thought Process provided by that kind of book would be very fun for him?)
There's also the fact that the plots tend to be romance-arc-centric and so (like hallmark movies, which i also think he likes; unlike real socialization, which he does not) follow a very predictable formula where you can enjoy your absurd romantic escapism with the assurance that you won't get the rug pulled out from under you. You know what you're getting into and you can watch this headstrong lady be swept off her feet by this questionable garbage pirate with good hair, stress-free, unrealistically, and it's great :3
it's Work Research, but it's also getting to briefly live in a version of the world where people are more predictable, this thing he doesn't get is broken down into an unintimidating formula, and the worst people who've experienced the worst things still have someone look at them and go, "hey, wait, stick around". escapism!!
also i LOVE the idea of a very determined eliot sitting quinn (and occasionally parker, who has had this talk before and likes to help field questions) down for a fun seminar on relationship dynamics. hardison made a powerpoint (eliot hates the powerpoint). there's snacks. this is the only way he can absorb information here we go have a colour-coded polycule diagram—
#as someone who catches themselves thinking ''wow imagine if people really thought like that'' whenever interacting with The Genre....#i think parker would also enjoy the specific appeal of people always following the set formula in these kinds of movie#like what theyre doing is Weird but it's Weird Predictably#you know what theyre going to say before they say it and you know what's going to happen before it does#finchtalks
