#where it’s about her likes and passions and feelings which they’re paying attention to

It really is fascinating how much Van Helsing’s gushing benevolent misogyny about Mina being a “pearl among women” and the like is practically identical to modern fandom’s Exceptional Woman Girlboss approach.
I really did love Mina’s “bro you don’t even know me” response to the worshipfulness. Does she deserve praise and recognition? Is she amazing? Absolutely! But the idolization and “you’re sooo much better than other girls” adoration diminishes her from a human to an idea, and one she feels no connection to.

Jorts season · Leah Williamson
Summary: leah and reader meet each other at a fashion show, leah's jorts throw reader off but the football player manages to charm reader into going out for a drink
Based on this request :) MASTERLIST
You’ve been modeling for a couple of years now. It had started out pretty randomly, and you didn’t really anticipate the career you have now. It was a friend of yours that asked you to model her self-designed clothes which she had made for a school project. One thing led to another, and you quickly found yourself talking to different model agencies across the country. They fell in love with your unique look, and you were thankful for it because you were now having the time of your life. You were grateful for the opportunities that had come on your path, giving you the possibility to see the world and meet amazing people.
It was a different day today, though. You were invited to a fashion show and found yourself sitting along the guests instead of walking down the runway. You didn't mind, because you had a passion for fashion as well and didn't only enjoy showcasing different items. The show was about to start in a few minutes, so you took place on your designated seat. Luckily, you had a good view and was seated on the first row. Most people had taken place as well and were chatting up with whoever was sat next to them. There was an empty seat next to you and you couldn’t help but wonder who would be arriving last minute to a show like this one. You squinted your eyes and read the nameboard that was resting on it. It said Leah Williamson, English football player.
The name didn't really ring a bell, which wasn't surprising, because you weren't that familiar with the world of football. You had a few friends that were, of course, but you didn't pay it as much attention as they did. The host started with tonight's introduction and thanked everyone for their presence. They were a few minutes in before you suddenly felt a gust of wind hit your skin. Once you looked up, you saw a tall blonde take place next to you. She quietly apologized to the people around you two, probably for walking in late and blocking their view while coming over to where you were sitting. She finally turned around and met your face with a small smile, a dimple appearing on each side of her face. You smiled back and took a quick look at the outfit she was wearing. Her outfit consisted of a pair of jorts, a white blouse and black shoes. Your eyes stayed blocked on the jorts she was wearing, embarrassingly long because you heard a chuckle leave the blonde’s mouth.
You felt yourself growing shy under her gaze, due to the fact that you had been staring the woman down, judgment probably visible on your face. She looked great, beautiful even, but the jorts? ‘’I can tell you’re a fan of these.’’ You heard, feeling an arm graze against yours as you felt the woman’s breath hit your skin. Models were starting to appear, gasps and whispers going around while the crowd was admiring this season’s collection. The blonde next to you wasn’t that interested in the pieces being shown in front of her, you noticed. She was more interested in questioning the stranger who was sitting next to her.
‘’I think they’re…okay.’’ You nodded, not sounding convincing because you weren’t being honest, at all. You just hoped the blonde next to you believed the words you said. She playfully rolled her eyes and nudged you while leaning in again to whisper in your ear. ‘’You can be honest, you know. I just had a friend of me roast me.’’ Leah said, as you remembered her name all of a sudden. You preferred not to be honest as you already started to feel bad for making her question the outfit she was wearing. ‘’I think it suits you.’’ You replied instead, your voice a tone higher than it usually is, probably due to the fact that you were being a lying mess. Leah snorted and shook her head before turning her attention on the models that were passing in front of her. You sneakily glanced at her and admired the rings she was wearing on her slender fingers, the earrings that hung from her ears and the blonde pieces of hair that were slightly covering her face.
The rest of the fashion show was great, you were captivated by the outfits that were being shown. The football player next to you seemed to enjoy them as well, as she was taking pictures of items she was probably interested in. You felt her arm graze across yours every now and then and she even managed to accidently step on your foot. It didn’t hurt, but that didn’t stop Leah from apologizing to you multiple times. You had giggled at her, blue eyes wide open as she cursed herself for being so clumsy.  
Once the lights were on and everyone was slowly leaving the big hall, you couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. The blonde was being so nice to you while you had been judging her, probably coming across as snobby. So, you decided to apologize as a nice person would do. Both of you had stood up now. Leah’s eyes were flickering from her phone to you, contemplating if she would restart the conversation or leave it as it was. You collected some courage and decided to take a step closer, oblivious to the thought that was racing through to blonde’s mind. Leah put her phone away as soon she saw you walking her way, a nervous smile appearing on her face.
‘’Hey, so-‘’ ‘’I was wonde-‘’ You both blurted out at the same time, stopping your sentences halfway before bursting out in laughter. ‘’You first.’’ She said, allowing you to finish what you were meaning to say. ‘’I just wanted to apologize for earlier.’’ You began, fiddling with your fingers while blue eyes stared at your form. A nice smile was displayed on her face, encouraging you to continue talking. ‘’I was being a bit rude.’’ You finished, softly laughing at your poor attempt of apologizing for your behaviour. Leah shook her head, questioning herself now if she had come across as harsh. ‘’It’s all good.’’ The blonde said and looked at the jorts she was wearing before taking a look at your outfit. The one she had been sneakily eying during the show. ‘’I’m always up for some fashion advice.’’ Was what she said before she took her phone out of her pocket.
‘’I can tell you have a lot to say.’’ You felt even more embarrassed by her teasing words, wishing the ground would swallow you up. ‘’I have time. How about you?’’ Leah smoothly asked before raising an eyebrow. The room was starting to get emptier. Most people had walked out already, probably heading over to the after show. To be fair, you weren’t in the mood to party. You weren’t in the mood for loud music either, or champagne or small talk. You took a look around before returning your eyes on the woman in front of you and nodded. ‘’I have time.’’ You replied, seeing a smile appear on Leah’s face. You both exchanged numbers before parting your ways, deciding to meet up later tonight for a drink. Leah had asked you for your name, of course, because up until the conversation you were ‘’miss judgy face’’. You snorted at her confession, crediting her for the creative name.
‘’I’ll see you later.’’ Was what Leah said as she took you in her arms, giving you a small firm hug before making her way to the exit. She turned around halfway and waved at you. ‘’Don’t worry, I’m changing outfits.’’ You heard her say, making you laugh once again. You waved back and decided it was time to head back to your hotel to rest a little before heading out to meet up with the interesting blonde. You found yourself chuckling at the awkward exchange you had at the start of the show. But let’s be real, Jorts?

I love your butch!Bea AU, so maybe something where Ava is just a silly little guy and Bea is just so done with Avas tomfoolery
‘do you have to be so…’
you grin. ’so what, bea?’
‘it’s just not going to work,’ she says, utterly worn down. it’s fun, though, to be honest, making her huff and roll her eyes and laugh at your antics with no stakes involved.
‘well, how do you know?’
you watch with a fair amount of delight when she goes through, quite passionately, a list of everything known about the halo and its healing capabilities, its protective nature over you and the ones you care for. she’s in a soft, big hoodie and blue socks that are wearing out at the heels — her favorites, so she’s reluctant to part with them, you think — curled up on the edge of the comfortable couch in your living room, a pillow in her lap. she’d gone to the barber yesterday, as she does every three weeks like clockwork now, and her fade is as neat as you’ve ever seen it, the short top, an inch long, perfect for you to run your fingers through, as far as you’re concerned, messy from sleep. her glasses are a little smudged and she’s languishing with her cup of coffee so, even though she could kill a man in less than a second and has been into triathlons (terrible) lately — you are not intimidated or deterred by her in the slightest.
there’s a whoosh of sulfur and then mary and lilith are popping into your house, effectively stopping beatrice’s laundry list of reasons your plan will never work.
‘what’s he trying to do now?’ mary says, headed to the kitchen while lilith settles into her favorite reading chair, seemingly disengaged but you know she’s listening.
beatrice looks pointedly at you. 
‘i’m feeling like doing something impulsive,’ you announce.
‘you? impulsive?’ lilith scoffs — a point for you, though, because she was paying attention. ‘who would’ve thought?’
‘whatever,’ you say, no bite in it. ‘i thought it would be fun to get a piercing, but beatrice is claiming i can’t.’
‘you want to pierce your —‘
she turns red without even saying it. ‘nipples,’ you finish for her, a grin on your face.
‘never mind,’ mary says, walking over to lilith with two cups of coffee. ‘i can’t listen to this. beatrice, text me,’ and then they’re gone.
‘did they just abscond with our mugs?’ 
beatrice sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose. ‘what’s this really about?’
‘uh, it would be hot, i think. obviously.’ you roll your eyes. ‘and, like, everyone normal can do all kinds of impulsive shit that i can’t. what if i just really wanted to, like, skydive? or get a face tattoo?’
‘ava,’ she says, undeterred and a little weary. ‘what’s wrong?’
you swallow, the question hitting you square in the chest in a way you didn’t expect. it’s something, to be so seen and understood by someone. ‘nothing is wrong, really, i guess. i don’t know.’ 
she reaches for your hand and you sit next to her, lace your fingers together.
‘i just — with everything going on with my back, i guess i just feel, like…’ 
‘a loss of control?’ she asks, patiently after you’d been quiet for a while. 
you feel yourself let out an honest-to-god whine before you can stop it.
she smiles, a little sad and a little determined — she’s been waiting for this, you’re pretty sure, which is equal parts sweet and annoying. ‘i have an idea that i think might work better than nipple piercings to help you feel better. we can leave tonight even, if you want.’
you perk up and her smile blooms even further. ‘while i do definitely want to hear your idea of impulsivity, i just also need you to know that nipple piercings would be hot.’
she really does consider it. ‘perhaps,’ she offers.
‘i’ll take that as a yes,’ you say. ‘tell me about your idea.’
she sits up a little straighter and explains, hesitant enough at first to gauge your reaction, that she’s been researching adaptive ski and snowboarding programs. 
‘the alps?’ you ask, immediately a little teary.
‘if you’d like.’ she picks at her nail for a moment. ‘i’ve found ones closer to here as well, so wherever you’d like to go, we can go. just say the word.’
‘you really mean that?’
‘of course i do,’ she says, so sure, so steadfast. ‘and, plus, you know i’ll enjoy myself too.’
‘ah, yes, with your double black diamonds. insane.’
‘well, and the aprés ski with you.’
you grin and kiss her cheek. ‘as long as you promise to dance with me.’
‘i’ll do anything you want to make you happy, ava,’ she says, and it hits you in the chest that she means it. she means it, even though you’re mostly full of nonsense half the time, and you like to play pranks on her, and sometimes you get stoned and pester her to watch grace and frankie with you even though she’d been trying to read. she loves you through it all, the worst days, and you love her the same: when her hands shake; when she’s frustrated; when she worries so much about decisions she’s immobilized; when she’s too strict, even now. partnership, you’ve realized, is a practice.
‘switzerland, then?’
she smiles and kisses you. ‘i’ll book everything now.’
‘you have a spreadsheet, don’t you?’
‘of course,’ she says, as if there couldn’t be any other option. you laugh and she pulls it up on her laptop — there really are tabs on the sheet for at least six different programs that vary geographically and by difficulty level, and she’s also mapped out places to stay and restaurants you might enjoy, as well as other local attractions. 
‘this is so extra,’ you tell her, your voice a little shaky and the glance out the side of her eyes telling you, without words, she’s onto you. but it doesn’t matter: she gets everything all set up for tomorrow morning, and it’s there: love greater than this world, laid out in confirmation emails and conditionally formatted columns. ‘maybe we can visit jillian after,’ you say, the alternative being bursting into tears.
beatrice hums, never opposed to the idea of a trip to spain.
‘she could figure out how to pierce my nipples,’ you say, and beatrice groans. it’s the little victories.

Zelda Spellman Fluff Alphabet
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A = Aroma (What do they smell like?)
Zelda smells of rosewood and patchouli.
B = Babe (What would they use as pet names? Do they use them a lot?)
Darling and dearest are often used when she wants something from you. She uses pet names on a regular basis, but usually when the two of you are alone.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
Sometimes, when she’s in the mood for them, then hell yes she’s a cuddler, but when she’s not feeling it, best keep your distance.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? What would they think about living together?)
She wouldn’t mind settling down, though she does fear that will make her seem old.
E = Emotion (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
She’s affectionate in subtle ways. A whispered praise, a quick peck on the cheek. She doesn’t like to make a whole public display of it.
F = Flirt (How do they flirt? Are they smooth or awkward?)
She’s an incredibly smooth flirt. Direct and seductive.
G = Gifts (Are they a gift giver? What kind of gifts do they give?)
She’s not a huge gift giver, though boy oh boy does she love being on the receiving end. She’ll occasionally buy you flowers and the occasional surprise gift.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
She’s alright with hugs, and she does give good ones, but they’re not near the top of the list on her favorite types of affection.
I = I Love You (How fast do they say the L-word?)
It’ll take a while to get that out of her. She might be thinking and feeling it, but it does take some time for her to admit it to herself, and even longer to say it to you.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
She can get majorly jealous. She’ll snap at whoever brings out the jealousy in her and it can be amusing to watch. She gets all red in the face and kind of possessive.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you?)
Zelda’s kisses are generally very passionate when it’s just the two of you. When around others, she tends to let it be more casual and chaste.
L = Little ones (How are they around children? Would they want some of their own?)
She’s good with children, though doesn’t often consider having her own, considering how Sabrina is such a handful. But she could be reminded of their better points and be convinced to give it a go with you to help out.
M = Meet (How did they meet you?)
She met you in the woods. She was preparing for a celebration with the church of night and you were out picking herbs and flowers. You caught her eye, smiled and she struck up a conversation.
N = Nurture (Are they good at taking care of you if you’re hurt/sick?)
She can be, though she often assigns that sort of thing to Hilda, who is better at it. She’d want you to have the best care possible, rather than her care.
O = Out (What’s a typical date night with them like?)
Candles, an incredible meal and slow dancing to an old record. Classic romance, but perhaps with a bit of a darker twist.
P = Propose (When do you/they propose? How does the proposal go?)
You propose the night before her birthday. She’s so busy worrying about what her family will have planned for her that she doesn’t see it coming. Though she does graciously and tearfully accept.
Q = Quirk (What small habit/feature/quirk do they have that you find especially endearing?)
The way she pays so much time and attention on her appearance when she has such natural beauty already. Watching her put on her makeup or choose an outfit is an art form that you never get tired of seeing.
R = Routine (What does a typical day together look like? Routines, schedules, habits?)
Your bedtime routine often involves you helping her unwind, which she is eternally grateful for.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you?)
She can be protective, casting spells to help ensure your safety or having Hilda keep an eye on you when she can’t.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, etc?)
She can really go all out if she has a mind to. She’ll plan everything down to the last detail to impress you, not that she has any need to go to so much trouble.
U = Unique (What’s something they’d only do for you?)
Wear pink. She is adamant that pink is not her color, and she’s right, but if for some reason you wanted to see her in it, she’d begrudgingly oblige.
V = Vulnerable (How long does it take them to feel comfortable being vulnerable around you?)
It’s definitely going to take Zelda a while to really open up to you. She can be fairly closed off until she gets to know someone.
W = Wardrobe (What would they wear to impress you?)
A suit. You’ve seen her don a million beautiful dresses and skirts, so if she really wants to blow you away she’d do it with a designer pantsuit.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
Zelda isn’t a morning person. You don’t dare wake her until she’s good and ready to get up on her own.
Y = You (What are some things they would like in a partner?)
Zelda wants someone who won’t threaten her independence. She still wants to maintain her own life and interests outside of the relationship and if you can’t get on board with that, she’s out.
Z = Zzz (What are their sleep habits?)
Zelda can be a deep sleeper, and she does on occasion softly snore. She’d deny it if accused, but it’s that kind of snoring that is more cute than bothersome.

More random SecurityWaiter/DreamTheory headcanons (part 3)
+some general fnaf movie stuff
-I like the idea that Mike, Abby, Ness, Vanessa, Max, and Cory(/whatever his characters name is/would be) are all friends and call themselves the fazgang, which Ness, Abby, and Vanessa were definitely the ones who came up with that
-Mike eventually agrees to take Ness to Freddy’s after months of asking, and the two of them + Abby and Vanessa all go together to hang out with the animatronics and tell each other stuff about the place (Ness finally finds out the truth abt everything)
-Mike listens to 80’s music and like “male manipulator” type shit (he’s an angsty trans guy bros a stereotype /pos) and Ness is a def a Swifty he loves “white girl who’s friends are almost all gay men” type music /hj
-when Abby finds out that Mike and Ness like each other, she is GOBSMACKED because her brother has always been chronically bitchless on both ends but then she gets all excited to try and play match maker (she asks Vanessa for help and they’re actually kinda good at it)
-Vanessa is a LESBIAN and I am MIKENESSAS #1 HATER !! /hj /lh
-Ness loves embarrassing Mike any chance they get ever (they do try their best not to overstep but they’re a bit bad at gauging where the line is, especially since Mike isn’t very good at communicating, so they do go too far sometimes but it’s ok normally it’s all good and fun and Mike secretly likes it he’s like “hehe that’s right they’re my partner and I’m their boyfriend hehe I’m a boyfriend hehe”)
-Mike and Ness are so clingy I will never shut up abt it they will text and call any time they’re apart but they’re together like any chance they get and when they’re out in public, Ness will make it obvious they’re together in every way they can (without making Mike uncomfortable) and Mike can be a bit possessive over them like if he’s upset or feels left out or like Ness isn’t paying him enough attention to him (etc etc which like doesn’t happen often cause Ness is obsessed with him) he’ll get more physically and openly clingy (example is my last art piece they’re so cute) and in private they’re just like always touching, kissing, hugging, cuddling, rubbing, caressing, tracing, holding they are SO CLINGY IDC
-Abby makes the fazgang friendship bracelets
-Mike is NOT a jewelry person even remotely but he will wear anything Abby or Ness gives him, he just makes it known that he prefers bracelets and rings as they’re more subtle and usually more masculine
-Ness on the other hand loves jewelry and accessories and fun clothing in general. They have earings, bracelets, rings, pins, glasses, jackets, belts, pants and shirts with fun designs, etc. he loves dressing up
-Ness’ love language is yapping (info dumping, rambling, pet names, words of affirmation, etc.) and Mike loves to listen (even though he has no idea what they’re on abt half the time, he just likes hearing their voice and seeing them happy/excited/passionate)
-Mike and Ness absolutely share music with/make playlists for each other, even though majority of the time their music taste is NOT similar like AT ALL 💔💔💔
-Ness likes buying Mike shirts. Usually they’ll be nice and buy him shirts with stuff he’s interested in on it (music, movies, etc.) but he will also buy dumb things or cheesy couple stuff to see how much he can get away with (Mike always wears them, even if he thinks they’re dumb, though if they’re too dumb he’ll usually wear hoodies and jackets over them. Still wears them though)
-Mike and Ness absolutely steal each others clothes. They don’t wear them, cause they’re different sizes and styles, but being the clingy hoes they are, they’ll steal shirts and hoodies and stuff just simply to have, especially if they have to be apart for a long time
-whenever/if Mike eventually gets top surgery, Ness immediately becomes more touchy because they know that Mike is far more comfortable. They hug and cuddle him without worry, they run their hands across his chest, they kiss his scars, etc. UGH they’re so sweet I love them
-fall and winter are Mike and Ness’ favorite seasons. Mike loves it because of the cooler and darker weather, meaning he can comfortably layer clothes and experiences less weather related sensory issues (temperature, sunlight, etc.), Ness loves the holidays and the seasonal treats
-Mike and Ness love carnival and arcade dates. Ness loves carnival treats and rides, Mike likes winning games, they both like getting cute little prizes for each other. They do have to take precautions for overstimulation though lol. Noise canceling headphones (Ness has the obvious over ear ones that they like to decorate, Mike wears ear plugs/buds), sunglasses if lights are too much, little codes to let the other know that they need a break or wanna leave, etc.
-they cook together. Again, I do love the “Mike can’t cook for shit” headcanon but frankly that’s not super likely so they just cook together and it’s cute
-cute at home movie dates where they either bond over nerdy shit (like Marvel, Star Wars, whatever) and Ness can’t stop talking about his theories and Easter eggs and general things he thinks about the movies the whole time, which Mike doesn’t mind since he’s already seen them plenty of times and again he just likes listening to Ness, or Ness makes them watch cheesy romcoms that make Mike want to pull his hair out and he actively complains and makes fun of the characters the whole movie, which Ness doesn’t mind cause like yeah he’s right but they’re also always like “omg us” and Mike is like “what no nuh uh we’re so much cooler than them/I don’t act anything like that” and then Ness gives him a look and Mike is like “babe, stop, no, we’re/im not like that” and then Ness starts making a silly little impression of some shit Mike does and then Mike sees their point but is still stubborn abt it and just akskdslsdn you get the idea
-ok that’s all for now giggles

Smut, the way you write it 🤌🤌🤌 as someone who hasn't dipped their toes into smut yet. Spill your secret, Alice.
How do I write smut like you?
Write, then let it rest and revise. Let that rest and revise again. Revise as many times as necessary - sometimes it takes longer, sometimes you’re just in the zone and the words are flowing.
Nobody writes a good first draft - it’s literally never been done. Make sure to give enough detail to get your point across, but remember- your reader’s imagination is capable of doing most of the work.
When you describe something be precise about physical locations. For example, “he touched her hip” is very different than “he touched her waist.” Remember which character’s hand went where! This is an important second draft check and it always saves me. You can’t give your character three hands when he’s only supposed to have two. Writing smut this is a very common problem, which I’ve heard described as “phantom limb syndrome.”
Focus on your character’s reactions. Smut isn’t good because it’s hot, it’s good when it makes the reader feel something emotional. You’re doing two things at once in a smut scene - first, showing erotic moments as they can only be conveyed by the written word, and second, you’re revealing internal thoughts and feeling of your character that would only occur in this context. For example, Lloyd and Princess. The smut chapter was frequently in his perspective due to the fact that I wanted to establish his emotions. The only reason he’d admit to those specific feelings so honestly was because they were being enhanced by passion.
Pace yourself in the build up to the main event - readers need foreplay. I always make people wait. Making the right promise to your audience is very important. Then, you have to lure them along with breadcrumbs in the form of interesting little twists and turns. Your reader has already set their expectations based on the feel of your writing and the things you’re focusing their attention on. They know they’re heading towards a gingerbread house. If you lay a trail of breadcrumbs and fail to deliver the expected “gingerbread house” at the end, they will not be pleased. Make your promise to the reader, and pay it off with the right currency. For example - don’t set up a hot, explicit erotic smut scene and then cut away before things get good. Technically, this might work if you’re writing a “closed door romance” but that’s usually not the style on Tumblr.
I’ve found the chapter warnings we put in the headers tend to set reader’s expectations. Those absolutely help not only for safety, but to direct you towards what stories you’d want to read.
Also, don’t be afraid to keep a file of all the good smut scenes you read. Go through it and make notes over what they did well and why it worked for you. Think about how you could use the same type of device in your work and try it out. I’m not saying to copy their work! But in the same way a chef can make an omelette in thirty different styles, you’ll start to see patterns in good writing that you can follow to improve your own technique.
Beta reader feedback is another important aspect of good writing. You can get lost and not see the forest for the trees, you know? Don’t ruin a piece that’s improving because you’re frustrated. Take your time as you write and the remember: breaks are an important part of the process!
Hopefully this helps! Also, I’m just one writer with a personal opinion and my own experiences. There are many different approaches to creative writing and they’re all valid.

I LOVED YOUR DOMESTIC FLUFF POST FROM BEFORE uhm-uh could i request natsume and arashi one ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
^—^ thank you anon !! & here ya go
Tumblr media Tumblr media
♡ — natsume & arashi | domestic fluff
‣ tw/cws: none
‣ reader: gender netural - they/them
‣ authors note: hai guys, it's been ages since I actually posted help...
Tumblr media
☆ — ARASHI.
now let me tell you, shopping sprees. 100%, Arashi is all about taking you out to go shopping. It's quite literally you and her thing. Sometimes Leo questions why she's always leaving practice as soon as it's over, is Arashi picking somebody over her unit? (he does eventually learn that it's you for the reason she leaves so soon)
she usually buys you new shampoo, conditioner, and other self-care products when she notices you’re running out or just cause she thinks you'll like the smell (because she also likes the smell) before you even know the bottle’s empty, she already bought new ones for you~★ not to mention she also buys toothpaste and floss when they’re on sale. Arashi pays close attention to all the makeup and skin-care products you buy. if they leave bad results.... she’ll make a mental note to not buy that brand again! ( ̄  ̄|||)
Arashi usually insists on you coming with her when going abroad but sometimes Arashi has to go without you cause business is on the line of course! and you're most definitely aware-- and usually can accept her missing presence. but that doesn't stop the fact that Arashi feels a little bad if you're left behind for long on her trips! especially if you happen to be clingier than usual when she returns. If that happens she always makes sure to fit you into her next flight so you don't get too lonely
speaking of you two when she's away: phone calls and facetime are frequent! even if she's somewhere where the time zones are different & she ends up calling you at 3 in the morning- she's still calling!
all in to listen to you ramble about things and your day, as she finds it very adorable in a way how passionate you are when you speak on things you like... does prefer to be actively involved in conversations though! so do try to conversate with her too!
Arashi usually wakes up before you do but she won’t get out of bed right away (unless truly necessary), instead she will stay in bed with you and watch you while you’re peacefully sleeping ( ꈍᴗꈍ) her lips curled into a highly smile from just how adorable you are, cupping your cheek before letting out a giggle. “Good morning, my love~” she whispers as you start to wake up and finally lift your body from the bed before pressing a little kiss to your forehead~. She loves lying in bed with you in the morning, peppering your face in small kisses, and snuggling up close to you with no intentions of letting you go either! It's a blessing almost, when she gets to do these things- since she's mostly occupied with work and Knights and when she returns from a long day of working, modeling.. performing.. you’re already knocked out like a bear, so she adores the hours in the morning she can spend some time alone with you, even going as far to risk some of her time on just staying in bed with you :heart:
☆ — NATSUME.
This dude takes an unhealthy amount of nighters, either have it be cause he's in his room in the underground archives or because he's playing video games like overwatch in the house you two share together— so you might wake up at midnight seeing this dude's back in your face & you have to force this idiot into going to bed (ノ_<。)ヾ(´ — ` )
You know it's mentioned he has a cat, or multiple cats… at his parent's house? Well, once he invited you over in hopes for you to meet his parents, and his parents and the kitties seemed to like you. Which to him was quite a surprise since his cats are similar to him, and not very quick to open up. Smelling on you and nuzzling your legs as soon as you came around them "(^._.^)ノ meow"
Natsume has a habit of waking up early despite being the horrible night owl he is, he's usually out of bed by the time you open your eyes to make breakfast or shower, the only indication he was still there is his phone's bright light. But sometimes, he just can't resist waking you up with him, the way your cheek was smooshed against the pillows o((*^▽^*))o eyes closed as you clutched onto the blankets, a leg strewn on top of his. His gaze rests on you, softly taking in the scenery, him unable to resist leaning down to press a light kiss to your cheek, pulling back just to press another one, soon enough peppering your entire face with kisses, feeling you stir underneath him, groggily rubbing your eyes “Natsu— what time is it” you mumble, struggling to push him off you “7:24, so go baCK to sleep”
“But you're the one who woke me up?....” and you can feel him snicker on top of you as he moves to pull himself off of you, only to be stopped when he feels your hand loop around his wrist, pulling him back “You woke me up so you gotta stay” you murmur, pulling the blankets aside to make room for him to lay back on you and much to your satisfaction, he doesn’t resist.
Contrary to popular belief! He likes to go on dates with his partner in the public eye, dare I say he also likes the thrill of getting seen with you by fans so they ask him a bunch of questions and he gets a reason to lovemail you. Knowing that you might be incredibly happy if that were to happen, or maybe embarassed... Knowing that those words of love he said will sooner or later he heard by thousands of his fans. ♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱ and probably even some back at ensquare, you might get a nose full from some curious teasing oddballs (wataru and rei especially)
He has some sort of nickname for you, the "kitten" nickname stays forever though even though it makes you screech sometimes— and he's aware of the effect it has on you (if it's negative, then he's planning on calling you kitten way more than he did when you two first met just cause he finds It, If not... a little humourous)

Attention
Tumblr media
TW: Smut. Language.
SUMMARY: After Drew and Rudy have to end up working, you and Elaine take it upon yourselves to show them what they’ve been missing…
WORD COUNT: 1400
*Requested*
You were so excited to be on vacation with your absolute favorite people and closest friends. Rudy and Elaine were the closest to you and Drew in so many ways, which was why you got along so well. You were nearly inseparable whenever you were given the chance, often found during days off at each other’s apartments or at least making plans for upcoming events. But of all of the comparisons within the relationship, the one you loathed had been just how much the boys seemed called to work. Late night shoots. Photo shoots. Interviews. Reshoots. Not to mention table readings and meetings-it seemed endless. 
“Well I think if they’re too busy for us…we should show them what they’re missing tonight…” The idea was usually one you would only entertain over wine and detailed jokes of how they would react. But as you both felt frustrated at how the majority of this trip was spent ‘homebound’ in the hotel while waiting on them, you would manifest your most sultry of motivations before making your way to the local club. 
The second you crossed the threshold, you had already captured at least half of the bar’s attention. There wasn’t a single guy within the space that hadn’t made note of you as you had both left messages on the boys’ cells where they could find you whenever they would get done with work. Although you hoped they would have come rather quickly once realizing you two had grown impatient, you were actually able to get quite comfortable in the time it had taken them to join your company a few hours later. But ny now, you weren’t alone and had been entertaining two other guys, just dancing, but enough to make both Drew and Rudy raise their brows in confusion. 
After offering their own greetings and kissing you both, having done so with a bit more passion than usual as this verified your plan with Elaine had worked, you were joined by them as they wrapped their arms over your shoulders and found comfort in your booth. But almost immediately as the song changed, you motioned for Elaine to follow you as you watched the eyes of your boyfriend look to you somewhere between bewilderment and confusion. In the same way you would look at her with this silent conversation, they would do the same until eventually joining you on the dance floor. Once again, you’d move away as an excuse to need a drink, where you would proceed to allow guys to pay for your drinks. 
The final straw would come when Drew noticed one of those guys reach towards your hip, his hand quick to pull you out of the club as Rudy had done the same to Elaine. Neither of them would speak to you as you only smiled to one another in the victory of this moment. However, the return to the hotel seemed truly endless before you were able to get the reward of such behaviors. Where Rudy pulled Elaine into their room, you were suddenly apprehended by Drew as he took you against the door with a rough thud. 
“What’s all this about?” He questioned as you shrugged, feeling his eyes narrow as you moved past him and moved to unzip your dress, doing so in such a seductive nature before looking over your shoulder. 
“Those poor guys are gonna think you’re coming back for them…left with boners and-”
“At least they gave us attention…Because our boyfriends were at work…Like always…” You let out a sigh as he suddenly came to understand the reasoning behind your change of behaviors. For this, he wouldn’t grant you even a second of kindness. He forced the fabric of the dress off of your shoulders in more of a cruel guide before allowing it to gather at your ankles. 
“That’s what all that was for, baby? You didn’t think I was giving you enough attention?” You compressed your smirk with your back turned away from him. He was quick to make up the distance, which was only in allowance by a single step, before he had you between his hands once again. 
“Well you have it undivided now.” He spoke in a near growl against your ear as your eyes rolled to the carnality behind his usual timbre of innocence. 
“No phone calls?”
“Not even if it rings for hours…which is how long you’re gonna be in here-”
“Not emails or-” Your attempts to walk away from him were interrupted as he pulled you back into him, this collision allowing you the chance to feel the extent of his muscles tensing against you. Every defined line making up his torso now tightened at your back acted as a support as he walked you to the bed. 
“Baby, I don’t care if the fucking end times happen, you’re not leaving this bed until you’re rightfully…and thoroughly…fucked…” You were thrown onto the bed, waist raised to meet the height of his own, before he carried himself inside of you at a steady pace. “But I want to savor this…for you giving any other guy even a second in thinking he could do this-”
“Drew-”
He pulled you up against him by your hair, that domineering grip now wrapped around your neck as he continued to speak against you, his thrusts in continuation as well. 
“You thought it was cute letting them put their hands all over you? Let’s see how cute it is when you see what mine will do to you-” He applied just the perfect amount of pressure into your skin before drawing bruises with his lips along your neck and your shoulder in sporadic placement before offering an eventual retreat that left you groaning in this abrupt absence. 
“You’re in for a long night, sweetheart-but don’t think for a second I’m gonna let you get comfortable…” You were twisted onto your back, legs pulled to the edge of the bed until he had his tongue in vicious flicks against your core, tormenting you to that edge as his name was synonymous to any attempt to breathe, before withdrawing in the desire to edge you. 
“Fuck!”
“You wanna play games sweetheart? You want my attention? Let me show you that you have it-” He lifted to his feet, pulling you into him again, thrusting into you every few words, winces and groans interrupting his attempts to speak as he still managed to get his point across intelligibly, whereas you were falling apart at his base. 
“You think I like being away from you? You have any idea how much I’d rather be doing THIS? I think about you every goddamn second I’m not with you…So you’re gonna let me act out EVERY one of those thoughts…the same thoughts those assholes had-the same ones you gave them…”
“Drew-”
“And when I’m done…” He was now leaning over you, hand at the back of your neck in unwavering dominance as he teased your lips with his breath but a kiss to which he wouldn’t commit. 
“You’re gonna be lucky if you can walk out of this bedroom let alone to any other club and act like you don’t belong to me. You’re mine…” His thrusts were impossibly quick, hands reaching every inch of your body from your feet pulling them in a bend to his chest to the deeper penetration granted as he moved and motioned you into the positions allowed by your body. Overstimulation present in abundance, you basked in his undivided attention until you were left trembling and whimpering, exhausted and spent, and a bit too eager to tell Elaine about it the next morning. 
“So how long?”
“God I still can’t sit comfortably.” You teased. “But it was the best we’ve ever had, what about you?” You asked in polite continuation of the conversation as she nodded, blowing out a deep breath. 
“It worked then?” Little did you know that the way you spoke of them in detail, the way you’d both been thoroughly relieved by your loving and even jealous boyfriends, had brought the dumbest smiles across their faces as they knew they’d done well. Even if it had all been a game. They had come to play-and their prizes were sitting before them describe just how well they’d done…

Who would the HiGH&LOW: SWORD Leaders main in Genshin Impact?
(alternative title; their kinnies)
Tumblr media
Cobra > Diluc
I think once Cobra gets into the game and goes through his story quest, he’d feel somewhat seen and relate strongly with him.
Their obvious similarity is they’d do anything to protect their home and the people they care about.
Stoic but friendly. Serious but passionate. Their families own businesses— Also, they’re both canonically lady killers 👀
Hence why the moment Diluc’s splash art appears on one of his pulls, you bet he’s already maxing him out 🤣
He wouldn’t play often, but you’d catch him playing on Tuesdays/Fridays/Sundays in the Foresaken Rift domain and farming artifacts.
I wholeheartedly believe he'd give advice to low AR players in Co-Op.
Yamato definitely teased him once about this. Cobra just shrugs him off and continues to deal with those annoying pyro abyss mages in his seat in Itokan.
Before he got Diluc, he mained Traveler for a good chunk of his experience.
Rocky > Beidou
These guys crossed hell and earth to get to where they are today!
Now, they're renowned legends in their areas. Rocky would understand her slack.
Would spend a little money just to get her in-slot weapons and constellations.
Like Cobra, wouldn't play often. As in "whenever he logs on, he triggers Stellar Reunion" not often.
Needs some guidance from Kizzy to get used to all of the mechanics and systems he doesn't understand.
He's a fast learner so no worries👍
Definitely asks her to pilot his account often.
Stays away from the fandom as humanly possible.
An honorable mention is Yelan. The aesthetic of her demo and her style piqued his interest.
Murayama Yoshiki > Venti
Ah yes, the playful menaces.
Venti Mains are stereotypically chaotic and wholesome bastards which fit Murayama.
I feel like he'd be too shy to admit he mains him, so he has Tartaglia built to put up a ruse.
Seki and Furuya found out. Didn't understand what he was ashamed of. It was THE Anemo Archon after all.
Nah, Todoroki found out and made fun of him. Got a good 'ol punch right after.
Would try learning some Lyre notes but then almost throws his phone away whenever he gets it wrong.
One time he caught Cobra playing near the seaside. Pestered the shit outta him to show him his UID so he could add him. 😭
Honorable mention to Heizou. Just the fact he throws hands instead of using a weapon. This show is literally about throwing hands!! It's perfect!
Smoky > Razor
CMON IT WAS OBVIOUS!!!
Smoky didn’t understand the game, but while spectating Takeshi and Lala’s gameplays, the wolf boy caught his attention. Not long, but he left an impression on him.
They’re both similar in style and personality-wise. My soft and scruffy loves ^^
They were raised in the environment they were abandoned in but received a found family in the midst of it. Their loyalties don’t waver and will stand by them ‘till the end.
I guess that’s why Smoky started using him for the majority of his experience.
He wouldn’t be aware he’s maining him, just uses him constantly because he was the strongest in his arsenal.
One day, he asks Takeshi to help him build his character.
Takeshi would be floored by the amount of Primogems he has.
“Uh- are you saving for anyone?” “What do you mean?” “For upcoming characters? You literally have 32k Primogems.” “What’s a primogem?” “…” “Do you mean that glitter you get from quests and events?” “…”
…Yeah, he’d forget the Gacha system altogether LMAO!
He's pulled before, getting Razor and all. But I don't think he'd pay too much attention to released characters.
Another thing I wanna mention: since he lives in the Nameless City, it’s probably difficult to get a stable connection so he lags and buffers all the time.
Peak "Razor Main" Behavior 👌✨
Once he gets far into the game, I can see him still maining Razor simultaneously with Xiao or Kazuha.
Hyuga Norihisa > Scaramouche
He has the worse reputation among S.W.O.R.D. and so does Scaramouche among his Fatui brethren. They're both well-respected and difficult to get along with if you're not up to par with their standing.
Along with him being a doll? With their stingy and arrogant personalities? It would fit ^^
Hyuga would laugh at the Genshin fandom's shenanigans, and by shenanigans, I mean their toxic behavior.
Would he participate in it though? That I do not know. He's an ass but he's not THAT big of an ass.
And I'll prove that— he would adore Klee.
Being the youngest among his family, he'd want to indulge in being an older brother to a little sister; especially one who makes bombs!
Would burn the grass below his Co-Op mates and slowly watches their HP go down HAHA!
BONUS!
Yamato - Arataki Itto (The himbo energy is strong on this one) Kizzy - Eula (#GIRLBOSSES) Takeshi - Bennett (I don't need to elaborate further) Lala - Kamisato Ayaka (She would just go for the pretty and fun characters, but would main Ayaka both being little siblings of the family and the desire to share their older brother's burdens)
I just had fun with this one, nothing too serious or deep. If you have any ideas, feel free to share them. If you see this in the Genshin Tag... Go watch HiGH&LOW right now. I am literally on a mission for everyone to watch this show (o゜▽゜)o☆

Family Ties 🤍 - July 2023 - Aries
Overall energy: Page of Wands
Dad is the issue, that’s mentioned all over this reading. Not only are you fire, your parents both come up as fiery 🔥 people too, and there’s a lot of drama between them because of Dad…probably cheating, and running off with some new love, that’s mentioned twice with Ace of Cups. You do not have a positive view of him at ALL, you find that he’s abused his power as a father and husband, could be someone dominating, controlling…actual abuse is possible, which is further clarified by emotional manipulation and immature behavior from a grown ass individual. He is pretty much the reason for everything wrong, that’s been agreed upon by everyone. You could get quite heated over the topic of him. Hopefully not at me, I hear ya, and I’m sorry about all of this 🙏
Mother: 5 Wands & Queen of Wands
Mom is drama, could be a fire sign, and could act more like a sibling than parent/child. They tend to compete with you, like if you look good that day, Mom would make sure to look even better. Could be the type to wear white at your wedding, type of energy. They instigate. You could be the same way with them. Someone is always apologizing to the other, and then one of you starts some other drama to have to apologize for. It’s like you/they/both feed off of the attention & drama you bring to each other. They feel really immature. They could like to doll themselves up around your friends or something, like there are CLEAR lines of things you don’t do, and they don’t seem to mind bulldozing right over them. Forcing you to confront issues left and right, as an Aries that’s your specialty so…joke’s on her. She is the type to say one thing and then impulsively do whatever she wants. This could also all be your energy, and she’s the one with a problem with it, you two have conflicts often. I really don’t get it’s you, but that’s possible, or at times, out of revenge, maybe. Still, you’re loyal to Mom…but possibly out of guilt…those are feelings that really need to be looked at more closely, because I get a heavy toxic vibe, specifically how she interacts with *you*. No one else. If you feel like something is wrong, too much, unfair, uncalled for, I’m pretty much getting that it is. You two could have a toxic Lilith aspect/conjunction in your synastry chart…if you’re into that sort of thing. Or she’s narcissistic, that’s possible too.
Father: 2 Wands & 5 Swords rev
Hmm…you’re not going to like this. Dad blames Mom for needing to leave. “She’s drama”, I keep hearing that, and I’m sure you already know that. They probably fought a LOT, petty competitions, nasty words being said with 5 Swords here, both of them trying to prove a point and trump the other one. There’s no love in that, just inflated egos exploding, it led to unhappiness & that’s all. The part that’s wrong is the part where he probably got involved while still with her, and left for another person. It turned him into “the bad guy”, when really he was just tired of fighting, conflicted over doing anything about it, and someone came his way to make him actually decide to leave. You’re directly underneath him, reversed, not speaking to him. He would like to change that, but isn’t quite sure how to. I think a lot of this reading is explaining his side of things, I’m getting Mom is very loud and demands to be heard over anyone else…ok, he has a side too. Then you can think it all over for yourself, and make up your own mind, cuz I’m kinda getting Mom doesn’t like you to do that.
Siblings: Ace of Swords & 8 Pentacles
I get one, they are very happy with what they do for work, but whatever that work is doesn’t pay enough, so it’s like they either live at home or are constantly borrowing money. Their passions don’t fund their bills, but they’re not irresponsible either. I heard “teacher”, that could be what they do, or is relatable in comparison salary wise and not making what they deserve! They’re actually very responsible and can handle just about anything thrown at them, but they’re not super independent and I get it’s because they can’t be. Not if they want to be who they want to be, at least for now, they need help. This could also show them as being a single parent and maybe Mom helps them with free babysitting and stuff like that. They could be significantly older/younger than you, enough that there’s a bit of emotional distance and not relating too easily, different generations even.
Grandparents: King of Wands, The Hierophant & Ace of Cups
These are Dad’s parents, you may not have much of a relationship with them either. It mirrors what Dad has done, but they won’t fight for him because they can’t. He’s their kid, they have to go along with what he decides and what makes him happy. They don’t know whether they agree with him, or what they can even do about it, he’s calling the shots and they just support him however they can. I get no hate on Mom, you, or anyone else, they’re just put into a position there’s nothing they can do. Dad has made his bed, and he has a side but they stay pretty impartial about it. Mom could be pushing away his side of the family, or constantly talking about them negatively so that you won’t try to form relationships with them, which is wrong. It’s normal to be hurt, but you can’t sabotage your kid’s life because of that yanno…lots of love to you 🤗
Spiritual Ancestors: 5 Cups, 4 Pentacles, Knight of Pentacles, Strength
Your ancestors are sad you’ve held onto grudges, negativity, and held back love for such a long time. And have been held back from love too. I’m getting that many of these issues do not belong to you, it’s like a repeated rant you’ve heard that’s formed how you feel and see things, but do not necessarily believe or feel yourself. Brainwashing, more or less. The Sun here is about recognition. Seeing the light ☀️ What has anyone done to you personally? Which of these grudges are yours? Are you fighting Mom’s battle and carrying her cross? The World shows enough is enough, it’s all over with and you don’t need to do this anymore. You never did. Take as much time as you need, but try to see things objectively, and see your family as the imperfect humans they are. Not to judge, just to understand. I see nothing about reconnecting with people, no one is forcing you, not even Spirit. They’re just saying the door is unlocked if you want to open it up. Dad is made out to be a monster and Mom…is really the one that is the manipulator. That doesn’t mean fight about it or flip sides because war is WAR, pick a side, no - just see it for what it is. For your own sake. Aries tend to be warriors, and especially for their Moms, I’m just getting that you’re old enough now to understand both sides, and you can separate yourself from their narrative. It was never your burden to have to carry, and a lot of this has been unfair to you on both sides ❤️
Oracle:
Generosity
You can afford to be generous with the gift of your time and attention.
999 is here with this card and both 9’s in your sibling’s energy. You being generous with them would mean more than anything, because I get they may not be your priority or maybe they feel like they don’t play much of a role in your life. But you could change that, if you want.
Transformation
Allow the energy of fear to be transformed by love, creativity, and compassion.
4444 is here with Transformation, and the negative perceptions & grudges in you (or drilled into you) - about your father. You don’t even have to forgive, just try to seek understanding & peace. Own *your own* perspective. Healing you is the whole point of this reading.

Its kind of funny how they have Hawkeye acknowledge how sexist some of his actions were when i feel like i always remember there being more women in those earlier seasons. I might be misremembering but i feel like if theyre going to do that they could at least make female characters more core. Like not every woman has to be plot relevant to be featured.
- Majoranon
Second post on your ask and much much shorter
I’m on my parallel rewatch atm and while there aaare overall more named nurses (especially in s1) they’re (thank you for pointing this out to me @genderqueer-klinger ) 1. not consistently named (ex. several nurses throughout the show will be called “Able”) and 2. named alphabetically, which can make them seem not quite real beyond a sexy conveyer belt (and there are exceptions AND I think it already started changing somewhat in “Ceasefire” s1 when Hawkeye pretending to be married immediately had several women rightfully drop him on the spot, AND I think it’s interesting that twice in the first couple of seasons -- and maybe later? Hawkeye makes a point of how he doesn’t pursue married peopl- uh... women, just women... yeah... sure...... Carlye is an important outlier, he’s going against his own principles!)
(also this is where I break in to imagine MASH form the POV of someone trying to tell their story and forgetting half the names and the timeline and that’s the reason for changing names/repeat names/odd ages/etc, but that’s another post + one of 100 versions of MASH one can imagine)
I do consistently wish there were more women who returned to the show (and you know... Ginger my beloved), but I do think overall there are a lot of interesting women throughout who have more single-episode plot-driven roles -- I have a feeling the difference overall between seasons 1-3 and 4-onwards is probably negligible but with less love-interests, but now just for interest’s sake will have a think about women whom I think are interesting in either a recurring role (Kellye, Rosie) or in their single episodes, and do a little comparison (again, more for interest than to make a point, because I generally just wish that there were more ladies with more screentime)
*
and all of this being said and going back to the line itself for a bit -- I think that Hawkeye acknowledging past sexist behaviour is very interesting as a reason for him to not want to lead Marina on, when I might argue that it sounds more like a misdirection (a real thing he feels, but not the real reason he’s letting her down/feels like he does -- the best lies are the truth after all). Because what of course comes next is him saying that she deserves a passionate, starving, wide-eyed artist, and that he’s “seen too much to ever be wide eyed again.”
I watched Blood and Guts the other day (s10ep12) and it was interesting to me that Hawkeye had a date, because I think it’s been awhile since he’s had one of those? I did a cursory look-through and from what I see + remember the last time Hawkeye had something related to doing something with a woman was “Taking The Fifth” (s9ep9) and he didn’t even end up doing anything at all, unless the nursing staff took him up on the offer to get topped by every one of them........ and before that I feel like it was “Inga” way back in s7?
Again, I’d need to rewatch and pay attention to that, but overall we know that the tone of the show changes a fair bit from beginning to end and these late seasons in particular let Hawkeye have way less fun, never mind be a flirt, and so when he tells Marina that he’s not what she’s looking for, it really does seem sincere + like he’s just not got the will to want to seduce anybody -- never mind falling in love. I’ve also boarded the aromantic Hawkeye train and I’m not going to be getting off it anytime soon, but I do think that fits easily with the read that Hawkeye used to really enjoy being wanted + the giddiness of getting into something with someone. He didn’t often go about it the right way/he didn’t always take the partner’s feelings into account, but there was something about desire/being desired that he gravitated towards, if not an actual romantic relationship -- and on some level he still wants that, after all he still gets very upset/morose when he doesn’t feel appreciated
(this could now veer into “and so what does this tell us about Hawkeye-wants-to-be-wanted-Pierce sexually” and I’m gonna not do that this post, because I tangent enough as is)
again, was talking to genderqueer-klinger about this -- they mentioned that Hawkeye keeps having to suffer from Main Character Syndrome by getting all the really awful plotlines while everyone else gets to frolic, and I then called him Mad Max, because a lot of the time he has episodes where he’s there to step into someone else’s story (the episode where he tries to help the Korean soldier, only to then help dig his grave, the episode with the Korean brothers, also Blood Brothers, heck even Marina’s story has Hawkeye in the role of love-interest-that-never-happened) and most of the time that story is bittersweet at best and his job is to contain all of that Narrative and he’s only a single lanky guy (it’s the real reason his posture is so fucked, he carries it all on his back)
he’s not allowed much levity, so we cling to the times he gets to do something lighter, like help deliver a calf or gather pictures so that a soldier can pretend to his ex that he’s over her, etc. But you know... maybe someone oughta be giving him a kiss every now and then, because my goodness does he not get as much love as I think he needs, which again, if aro-read, it’s also hard to define that love under an easy “give him a romantic interest” because that wouldn’t feel right either (and that’s not even mentioning episodes where BJ is going through His Stuff and is therefore mean to him, or the Hawkeye-centric episodes where they’re like “what if he has extra trauma from his childhood on top of that”)
maybe if someone gave him a good smooch/ruffled his hair/put him in their lap/f***** him/touched him/etcetcetc... I mean it wouldn’t fix him, but I think it would be good for him to not feel like he can no longer enjoy those things/is made too fragile by the violence to be held 
Anyway, keeping a running list now of episodes that feature women in an interesting way (this may be somewhat subjective at times)
stay tuned!

💋 🍑 😊 🎀 for Julian and/or Agata? Don’t feel obliged to pick both btw! I just love them :’)
Still gonna do both.
Julian:
💋 How affectionate are they with their friends? Their family? Their romantic partner(s) (if they have any)? Are they more physical or emotional when it comes to displaying their affection? Why?
He's affectionate. Doesn’t know the concept of personal space. Physical and emotional, he is such a cry baby.
*
🍑 Where is your OC’s favourite place to relax or calm down? Recount a story of their time spent in this place! What makes it so special to them?
Any couch he can find. He always falls asleep on them and it's a break time for his messy brain. Julian is known to over work his brain. I imagine that back in the days when she and Danica were not together yet, she worried over him doing this and would put a blanket over him, when ever it happened and they were in same space.
*
😊 What can make your OC smile even when they’re feeling down? What cheers them up and makes everything feel better for them? Is your OC genrally a happy person and do they enjoy making others smile? What about your OC makes others happy?
Other than alcohol? Well obviously Danica. And just in general being the center of attention if people admire him. He likes to make people laugh and tell exciting stories.
*
🎀 Do they wear a specific accessory with a special meaning behind it? What is their usual fashion sense like? What do they wear when they want to be comfortable and what do they wear when they’re going to a fancy party? Or do they just not care?
Julian dresses up nice and fashionable to keep up his cool back story. He loves to use money for clothes. He likes a bit of color and different patterns, but mixed with more neutral things. For a fancy party, expect him to wear something glorious that gets all the looks!
Tumblr media
Agata:
💋 How affectionate are they with their friends? Their family? Their romantic partner(s) (if they have any)? Are they more physical or emotional when it comes to displaying their affection? Why?
Agata is very subtle as she's very proper. She doesn't want to give a wrong idea about herself so she shows more affection in private.

🍑 Where is your OC’s favourite place to relax or calm down? Recount a story of their time spent in this place! What makes it so special to them?
Agata loves a good garden. It reminds her of Italy and her childhood home. She reads often outside and she likes her long walks. She has a passion for keeping up a nice garden (although she mostly pays other people for the work rather than doing it herself).
*
😊 What can make your OC smile even when they’re feeling down? What cheers them up and makes everything feel better for them? Is your OC genrally a happy person and do they enjoy making others smile? What about your OC makes others happy?
Once again the obvious one. Rusty and Ezra. WHICH SHE HATES. She would like to keep her cool and have her moment and these MEN just dare to come and make her smile. Angelo is the only one who is actually allowed to make him smile.
I think her smile is definitely contagious if she grants it.

🎀 Do they wear a specific accessory with a special meaning behind it? What is their usual fashion sense like? What do they wear when they want to be comfortable and what do they wear when they’re going to a fancy party? Or do they just not care?
(She has a fashion section in her profile) Usually she wears classy things and more dark and neutral colors. She loves velvet. She used to wear more lighter things but after moving to england, she has appreciated darker tones more. At parties she is definitely also one to catch everyone's eyes. She doesnt even have to try. It can be a simple dress and she could make it look like it was from a fairytale.

Another post on Moon signs you can drag me for
Before we get into the actual thing, I'd like to say this post initially started as something else but ultimately, what I tried to put across is, sometimes Moon signs aren’t that easy to decipher. It’s easy to grasp overall characteristics of the signs and then learn how to identify their specific traits. But what people seem to forget it that Moon represents the deepest side of us & our inner world - it’s uncommon to really see someone’s side of it unless you really pay attention. Sometimes I’m surprised to see what someone’s Moon sign is even if I know this person well. Meaning, people usually hide that part of them - or they just simply process it internally and others can’t see their emotional reactions. It’s also uncommon for folks these days to fully express their emotional needs so it gets even trickier to pin-point their Moon characteristics. I don't think I have to mention this but, of course, your entire chart should be taken into account, as well as house placement, aspects. Personally, I like to also look at Moon's dispositor.
Let’s start from my friends, Gemini Moons, who, I feel, get a bad rep for not showing their feelings and scanning every emotion like an AI. Nah-ah. I know this one Gemini Moon whose immediate emotional reactions aren’t very cerebral in the sense of processing everything in the mind and intellectualizing it aka, what people like to label as being un-emotional. Instead her reactions are often fast (air energy) but physically expressed through Mercury (Gemini Moon’s dispositor) and Sun (overall identity) – she has them both in Aries. She’s a crybaby who can burst into tears in a matter of seconds. So she’s not something that would stereotypically be assigned to a Gemini Moon. But what I did notice is that all Gemini Moons tend to have this weird look on their face when they’re processing stuff. As if they were about to have a brain malfunction; they stop and have that specific worried look. They also like to either gossip or tell stories (either real or made up lol); they’re great with words - they can talk for hours if they feel comfortable with you. They just crave interaction and mental stimulation. Their quick reactions tend to make them effortlessly witty. Even if they’re a withdrawn Gemini type, they make up for it through social media and technology or just a quiet exploration. My shy Cancer pal with Moon in Gemini is now a brand/website designer and an instagram queen who travels the world. This is great energy for content creators in general. And don’t forget that Geminis need to have their fingers in many pies. It’s because they always have a backup plan… and they get bored easily so they need that chaos around them to feel at home. They like to have options in everything, which is kind of funny cause it’s hard for them to make up their minds and actually choose something. And they store a lot of information in their brains… I feel like it must be exhausting, no? 
On the other side of the axis, whenever I see someone with a Sagittarius Moon, I can immediately say “yup, a Sag Moon indeed” (probably thanks to my Sag stellium), meaning, they all seem the same to me. Sag Moons often find comfort in exploration - best if it’s literal travel. They always seem to need to free themselves from their surroundings, family, roots or their own culture to discover something new and exciting, even if it’s only in the imaginary words - through books, movies and other medias. Their happiness always lies somewhere else from where they currently are. Like, I think all Sagittarius Moons that I know have left their parents and went their own paths early on. And they have this yolo attitude. Just like Sagittarius Suns, they’re massive dorks, probably also obnoxious… sometimes in a REALLY annoying way. They’re either a) very wise and curious b) lil preachy and stuck up c) just plain dumb clowns with no filter. But they’re all funny. And they take things lightly, with a natural ease. This means sometimes they may offend other people just because they assume everyone’s as chill as they are; „relax! I was just kidding!” - that’s a phrase you’ll hear from them often… I mean, unless you’re a jokester yourself and you’re unmoved by their sarcastic or teasing words. They have somewhat spiritual or philosophical nature so besides making you laugh, be prepared for deep monologues. They want to believe everything will eventually fall into place. It’s also hard to bring them down - or I should say, it’s hard to make them acknowledge that they're feeling down - they always try to distract or cover it up with a joke, usually a self-depricating one. If Sagittarius Moon (or Sagittarius in general tbh) is telling you that they’re unhappy, then it’s serious.
I’ve noticed there comes a point in life for a Libra Moon where they just have enough. They’re too nice for everyone and one day they wake up and yell about how they have to do everything for everyone and everyone wants something from them and bLah bLah. Makes me think of when Bieber was this overly nice kid and then he was like “I’M NOT TAKING PICTURES WITH FANS ANYMOREEEE AAGhJFJFUWIUq”. Yup, a Libra Moon, everyone. They know how to charm and appeal to people, I think overall they’re easily liked by others. Sometimes it’s simply because they like to kiss people’s ass just to avoid being rejected. That’d be a Libra Moon’s nightmare. They like other people’s company too much. And they thrive in relationships and in a big circle of friends. What they hate is confrontations (like every other Libra placement omg). They may be good mediators when it comes to other people but if they’re involved in an argument they get sooooo passive aggressive. They just don’t know how to handle conflicts - it’s as if their nervous system wasn’t designed for emotional outbursts (because, you know, everything needs to be peaceful and harmonious Venus-style). A fussy or angry Libra Moon will suddenly get loud as they blame someone for something… and then they’ll leave the room cause they’re scared to even hear the other side of the argument. Or, alternatively, they’ll make a doormat out of themselves just to stay quiet and avoid causing any rift. And making decisions? I think it’s common for them to have two different romantic interests and feeling so dramatically torned between them *Alexa play Agony from Into the Woods*. Then when they decide, they have problems breaking the bad news to one of them.
On the other end we have Aries Moons. *deep breath* Listen, I think I’ve said enough about having Moon in Aries (or rather purely dissing it) but last time it made a bit of controversy so why not wreak even more havoc. I have a good description for this one: I will punch you but be gentle with me cause it’s easy to break my fragile heart. So basically, imagine putting Buttercup and Bubbles into one person. And honestly, I need to say this, women with this placement are just hot badasses, look at friggin Angelina Jolie. The queen of badass. The queen of hot. People say because Aries folks move quickly (literally and figuratively lol), they often get bored with whatever got them excited last week... or yesterday. Ha, yeah, right. You get their heart to open up and they’re going to have their eyes for you ONLY, like a lil puppy. Give us treats and we’ll build our world around you. But NOT in a clingy way by any means, we need our space and independence after all. My lil niece is an Aries Moon and ever since I started playing guitar with her, she became my #1 fan or something. That’s the energy. But we get easily bored with day-to-day stuff so yeah, there’s that. Innocent and clumsy yet raw in their emotions - so there’s potential to make mistakes sometimes (or a lot of times) or having this tunnel vision, like „I want this and I don’t care about anything else!”. And then excusing it with some „but the heart wants what it wants” crap (looking @ ya, Selena Gomez). They experience constant inner movement and turbulence that needs a physical outlet in order to feel satisfied. WE NEED PASSION IN OUR LIVES, OKAY?!?!?? now leave me alone
Aquarius Moons aren’t as cold as you might think. People like to describe them as if their Moons actually disappeared from their charts: dEtaCheD, uNeMotiOnaL, tHey fEeL nOtHinG. It’s just they don’t sit and dwell on things, they find solutions to the problems. If something doesn’t make them feel right, they just leave that situation. They do care about other people’s well-being, they’re very sensitive in that regard, they’re humanitarians after all. Yeah, they detach, but from their own emotions - in order to make sense of them. They may seem like snow queens sometimes (and this comes from an Aqua rising) but they’re really friendly and if you pique Aqua Moon’s interest, they’re going to be curious about you. They like new exciting things so if you’re cool enough, you have their attention. Usually they’re pretty progressive as well and can’t stand injustice. That’s why you’ll see them standing up for those who are in need. Uranian energy gives them a specific type of sharp intuition and wit. Idk they’re just cute in a quirky way. But this buzzing, fast energy is a great recipe for anxiety, over-thinking and frequent changes of heart. Similarly to Sadges, they need constant exploration and stimuli. Intelligent, people-oriented (but not people-pleasing! Look to Libras for that), individualistic. They definitely need their own space and independence. Their decision-making is fast and it’s easy for them to just say „screw it, I’m doing this”. My Aquarius Moon friend just casually decided that she’s moving to Turkey cause nothing in our city (or even country) seems interesting or helping her expand… So she was like, see ya suckers, I’m leaving.
Leo Moons shine from within. You’ll spot them from a mile away even if they’re on the shyer side. They’re all lil stars no matter their profession. Very expressive people & easily excitable. Art galleries, live shows, theater - they love a creative environment even if they don’t pursue that lifestyle themselves... One of my Leo Moon friends is an art junkie – suggest taking her to an obscure play at the local bar, a music festival, a weird museum – she’ll say yes in the blink of an eye. And she loves discussing these things. A Leo Moon may not see themselves as artistically inclined, but usually sooner or later they at least try dipping their toes in music, arts, acting, dancing... you name it. They’ll learn a simple 3-chord song on a ukulele and then play it to you in excitement. Imagine a lil kid making you a puff piece and being super proud of it. Sometimes they just need some encouragement. Remember, Leos feed off of praise, that’s their fuel. Doesn’t mean they’re all proud, egotistical people but what it does mean is that they need a lil assurance to gain their self-confidence. I lived with a Leo Sun/Moon for almost 15 years (who’s a musician btw so yeah, a classic creative Leo type) - he did have some issues lol but ego wasn’t one of them. Drama followed him everywhere but I’m pretty sure he disliked it himself. BUT, with that being said, I feel like Leo Moons tend to dramatize themselves internally. People say it’s something Virgos or Geminis would do - because of their tendency to overthink, but Leos can just go straight to a worst-case scenario in their heads simply because they exaggerate everything. So don’t be surprised to see a Leo Moon feeling down and anxious. On the bright side, be their cheerleader and they’ll give that to you in return. They need sparks and dullness kills their upbeat spirit. They need to feel their own heartbeat so the feeling of excitement is crucial for their well-being. Romantic, giving and kind. They’re fixed fire so once they’re set on something or someone, they give their all and are rather loyal.
I feel like my chart low-key tells me I should dislike Taurus Moons but I just want to melt in their arms and just stay there? Like, forever? Low maintenance but a bit slow-moving and stubborn. They won’t settle easily, at least not officially, so you need to have a lot of patience with them. They need 3 things to feel secure and at peace: physical stimuli, time and a stable place they know they can always come back to. And it’s not like all of them are total lazy homebodies, they may be active spirits & travellers but they are going to have a reallyyyyy nice cosy flat somewhere near their childhood place (gotta be be close to their moms, you know). Not necessary materialistic but they may have one thing that they collect throughout their entire life and they won’t. ever. get. rid. of. it. There needs to be at least one constant in their life - like you know when Elton John decided to go to therapy but one thing he stuck to was shopaholism? Very Taurus Moon of him. Also, they’re very affectionate. In fact, may have issues differentiating between affection and passion - this is actually something Taurus Moon and Aries Moon have in common. Pro tip - and this is in regard to all Taurus placements - don’t smell bad when you’re around them (I mean, don't smell bad in general, no one likes stinky people lol). They have a sensitive smell. Doesn’t help that they like to smell everything. EVERYTHING. I swear, Taurus, stop sticking your nose in every single thing!!! You don't need to know how that piece of utensil smells like. Jeez.
Scorpio Moon (shoutout to those who remember me accidentally calling them sporpio last time I made a post on Moons lol). I honestly don’t know what to tell you... I feel like all you hear about Scorpio Moon is 100% true, there’s nothing to debunk here. It’s the Moon of extremes. Prone to jealousy and surpressing emotions; severe trust issues; they’re instigators. I was low-key bullied by a few Scorpio Moons when I was in school so there’s that. Very secretive and private. Scorpio Moon will be like “I’m in control of the situation!!!!” and you’ll just look at them and think, yeah, right, looks like the situation is controlling you. But keep being in denial, sure. Like, don’t get me wrong, Scorpios in general can be TOTAL SWEETHEARTS OMG but ya’ll have issues. Even celebrities who have this placements... Think Beyonce or Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus... I feel like they have issues lol, especially with control and the need for everything to be perfectly the way they want it to be. To be fair, that’s probably why they’re all so influential and high status: it’s either their way or highway. They need constant reinvention; they’re the ones to wake up one day and decide they’re going through a spiritual awakening blah blah. They also like to talk about dark and shocking topics while having casual lunch with you... So like, be warned that you may end up with a depressed mood after talking to them for 10 minutes. And their mood swings... don’t even get me started on that.
I don't know where to start with Virgo Moons... I feel like they're very calculated and nit-picky but they're a lot warmer than Virgo Suns. I think I called them softies in my last Moon post. Very sweet people but prone to anxiety. You gotta experience seeing them having a heart attack over someone mixing bananas with milk or messing with their stuff that’s been put in a perfect arrangement. I saw a Virgo Moon once literally squealing shouting "YOU'RE GONNA RUIN YOUR LAPTOP WITH THAT SUPERGLUE!!!" Highly entertaining to watch, not gonna lie. Gordon Ramsay has his Moon in Virgo - it’s conjunct Uranus and Pluto so that’s an extreme but I think him being fed up with people over small inconsistencies in their food prep is a perfect example of this energy (btw his chart is hilarious, it literally explains EVERYTHING). They're VERY picky with their food as well, just as Virgo Suns tend to be. Like, they’ll only have a specific type of single origin coffee or they’ll be vegan or something. Self-critical over their work, which is a plus... except for when finishing a simple task takes them a few hours because they want to make it perfect. They take everything seriously. This of course doesn't mean they're total bores - on the contrary, Mercurial energy gives them witty approach and a talent for choosing the right words at the right time. Tho they can be a bit awkward or shy with it. Can be as bubbly as Gemini but the grounded earthy energy gives them more practical and almost nurturing nature - earth signs are providers after all and Virgo is the sign of service - helping others is like their second nature. I’ve noticed they often find comfort in devoting themselves to a choosen task - this is why if they pursue something, they’re really good at it. They’re also very likely to dissect their emotions.
I’m not a fan of water Moons in general but Pisces Moon is the best water Moon in my opinion. Maybe because I like Pisces overall. I think it’s like a tweaked Sagittarius Moon - just more internalized, withdrawn & gloomy. But unlike Sag, who has a tendency to be an adventurous optimist, Pisces likes to focus on the negatives instead. Obviously, they can be very upbeat, they’re Jupiter-ruled after all, but there’s somehing whiny about them lol. Just like Sadges, they dream big and have their standards put up sooo high but if there's not much active energy in their charts, they’re often too passive to actually fullfill any of that - or I should say, they’re stuck daydreaming about it, believing it’ll just magically manifest for them... OR they do everything with an apathetic approach. What I do like about them is that they’re funny. And really chill - sometimes to the point of coming off as confused or hazy. I feel like a lot of them would just love to sleep all day... or sit by the lake and just think about the world. Most of them are also compassionate folks - again, maybe a bit too much. Hey Pisces, you don’t have to take everything to heart, it’s okay. On the bright side, they have big imagination and the ability to disconnect and just create. I have a few Pisces Moons in the family: one’s that sleepy artistic type with grand visions, one is an asshole-ish but funny entrepreneur with a questionable work ethic and one is a witty IT guy who’s actually a workaholic and likes to shut in his own world of computers and numbers or whatever he does there... So there’s this factor of tunnel vision, escapism and, on the more negative side, being kinda iffy and almost addicted to the way they want things to be. Once they set their eyes on something it’s done deal…
My issue with Capricorn Moons is that they're often trying to be sooooo mature omg, like, loosen up a bit. It usually starts when they're in their later teens... They can be the most rebellious kid that likes to have fun and suddenly they'll be like "I'm too old for this ugh grow up" *judgmental stare*. My 18-year old niece once literally roasted my sister that she's in her 30s and still doesn't have her own place (well so do I so I guess she also indirectly roasted me as well???). And she was SO deadpan with it. Because she herself wants to be independent and start a family before turning 25. This is classic Capricorn Moon energy. They suck out joy out of everything lol. Of course, OF COURSE, it depends on the whole chart but I feel like worst-case scenario is that at one point in their life (or maybe even a few times throughout it) they go through a massive shake-up that makes them change their attitude and re-evaluate their structures. There's this multi-instrumentalist Yvette Young - she's a sweet, funny Cancer/Leo mix but her Moon is in Capricorn. She used to be a competitive pianist but the pressure that was put on her has led her to severe health issues. Like yes, she’s now an extremely talented musician - thanks to family’s expectations & a rigid schooling system (Saturn) but it did cost her a lot. She has recovered since then but I think it's a perfect example of this energy. It’s very ambitious and hardworking but emotionally demanding in the sense that you have to actually put your emotions aside in order to deal with the rest. Another thing, because Moon can be associated with family, there's often a weird dynamic surrounding this topic. I don't think I've met a Capricorn Moon that had a completely healthy and happy relationship with their fam or one of the family members. Or, alternatively, there can be a strong bond between one of them but usually created in the atmosphere of hardships.
Last but not least, Cancer Moons. I had three school friends with this placement and all of them made this sad, whiny face as they said „oh I don’t knoooow anymoreee”  when they were feeling torned or frustrated. To be fair, two of them are water Suns so for them, it added to the mushyness. All Cancer Moons I know are family people or better yet, baby people. One of those school friends is now a guidance counsellor, working with kids; the other turned her instagram into a gallery of her own child after she gave birth. So much kid content, omg. There’s also something very indecisive about them… or I should say, hesitant. They’re not very fast at making decisions. Also, what’s interesting, they’re kind of like walking libraries, they remember a lot – so they store a lot of information in their brains just like air signs but they process it in a completely different way – emotional, obviously. I think this also makes them hold grudges a lot. For them it’s more of a question of „how does it make me feel?” rather than „how valid is it?”. There’s certain stubborness in them in that regard because they don’t keep their minds open. It’s also hard for them to walk away from people and situations, like a crab pinching you with its claws – it won’t let go. Sensitive but not easy to open up; very protective of themselves and their loved ones & they tend to shut down in their crab shells. But they may crave connection and the feeling of belonging. Also very caring and with a big imagination. They’re very receptive of their environment so mood swings are a thing for them.

There was a Girl...
Pairing | Jace Wayland x reader
Summary | When Clary becomes a shadowhunter, she notices how cold and ruthless Jace is. Every one seems to relate to his pain, not resonating at quite the same level. They’re all mourning nevertheless.
Warnings | Mentions of death, brief smut (handjob), angst, heartbreak, unrequited feelings (for Clary)
Requested ✖️
Quick link to my masterlist, if you’re interested in reading more of my crap 😬
Tumblr media
Opening your eyes, you awoke to Jace's chest, his blonde hair falling over his face. You preferred how it looked when it was a little bit scruffy instead of slicked back, and you reached for one of the hanging strands. They were like seams of gold, reflecting from the light that hid within him.
Most people had the wrong perspective on the young man, they only saw a well skilled shadow hunter. But they ignored the smart and witty, yet simultaneously charming person that he was underneath all of his runes. His parabatai Alec was familiar with the set of abilities that his brother figure had, and all that he would accomplish. People thought, because of Jace’s distorted, and confusing past, that he was just another warrior to serve whatever institute that he was sent to.
But in fact, he was not. His duty would always be, to put his family and friends first. He liked to put you on the top of the list, but you always felt the need to scrap that idea, claiming that you could not be his priority from start to finish. It was as though you knew what you future held for you, and how indeed, he could not manage to protect every person that he cared about. The prospect was a great responsibility, far too much for one shadow hunter, even if they be among the best of their kind.
To put such a weight on your own shoulders was defiantly cruel, it would always end in failure, no matter what was done to prevent said downfall. There was never a possibility of saving everyone, that was insanity. The monsters had to kill, in order for you all to remain outside of Idris, and continue on with your heaven sent duty.
“Jace?” You could tell he was awake from how he smiled at the sound of your voice. “Come on.” It was an attempt to encourage him, but you were quick to realise that it wasn’t working. He didn’t like mornings all that much, for good reason too, after all you were shadowhunters.
“Jace.” Your voice became louder and clearer, up to the point where it no longer sounded like your own. He looked away from the screen, to see the new girl watching him. She had an expectant glaze to her green eyes, which were much different from the shield that was covering his own. His pools were surrounded by a shadow of grief, pulling down the entirety of his face to the point where it looked as though he no longer wanted to live.
And that wasn’t entirely incorrect, he struggled at life, often never finding a moment of happiness, and if he did, then he would paint a smile upon his face and wear it to satisfy everyone else around. He had tried to cope with the loss that burdened his heart so gravely, yet nothing made it feel okay. You’d want him to move on, whether it be to lose his vengeful esteem concerning your passing, or find someone else to confide in late at night, to stay up with talking as his head rested upon the pillow, that he needed to wash, so it didn’t smell like you.
Or even, if not to share a bed with this new person, your overall plan as you sat with the angels above would be to find some kind of peace. But that appeared to be the last thing that he wanted as he digitally scoured the city of New York for monsters to uncover, and kill. If he couldn’t protect you, the love of his life, then he would settle for doing so with humans, after all, that had been the way that you had gone. The job had been your passion, yet simultaneously your downfall, and he’d be fine if one of these days he failed to tackle a beast, and it got to him first.
“Clary.” He greeted her, wanting to remove a dangerous monster from the streets by decapitating it. In memory, he would use your favourite blade, spilling blood upon its glowing stake to keep your legacy continuing, although, it did not do much but serve to release Jace’s frustrations. It was a day in which he wanted to speak to nobody, have nobody following him, nor asking him mundane questions about what it meant to be a shadowhunter. Hell, he didn’t even know! To him, the lifestyle was nothing more than accommodated anguish, though, he had been told not to promote it using those words, otherwise, there wouldn’t exactly be many people lining up to join the adverse fight.
And one of the people that he had in mind concerning excitement over a dire and ‘exciting’ lifestyle was Clary. She was naive, and whilst she didn’t know everything, today wasn’t particularly the day in which he wished to explain it to her. It, being predominantly anything. Whilst he had managed to be nice to her during the first few days, it was out of courtesy, considering Alec had an instant distaste towards the wide eyed redhead; he wasn’t sure why, but he supposed that Clary could see a detail of himself that was hidden from the others.
However, even through Jace’s welcoming exterior, was in pain. The feeling tormented him, denying him a break from the patronising pressure, leaving him to hold blame to nobody but himself. The hurt was cemented into his eyes, reflecting as he watched all other tragedies with a stone cold expressions, them hardly affecting him, because he had and was experiencing the worst routine of torture that was possible to him. He had watched you die, and nothing could take those horrific memories from him, no matter how much he wanted them gone.
That was the last time that he saw you. When you passed in his arms, a large wound in your abdomen pouring out with blood, drowning his desperate hands as he tried his utmost to put pressure on the life threatening injury. He wanted to save you but he didn’t know how, his training had always claimed that killing the monsters was more important than saving the life of a shadowhunter from an unknown bloodline. There had been nothing to prepare him for that day in the field, he was a fighter, and taught to be so, not a healer; he wasn’t a medic, he was just a warrior. “What do you want?” Blatantly fell from his round lips as he cast an eye towards the newbie, unimpressed by her timing, or her presence at all.
Clearly, she hadn’t received the memo to leave him be, especially today out of all the rest. Alec, having the personalised intel as to why Jace was emitting a solitary rut understood why he wished to be alone, and respected the space, granting him as much time to himself as he wanted. And whilst Alec was your friend also, he could feel the deep longing that was stabbing his parabatai in the chest, and it killed him too. Your death had been so unexpected, and now without you, there was a void within the institute. And the archer felt as though Clary was trying to fill it, and he saw that as nothing more than disrespect, though she was probably ignorant to the history that wandered the halls.
Her face revelled back at his tone, but nevertheless she continued on with her prying. “I was wondering if I could join you on the hunt, I’m getting better, Izzy even said so.” Jace refrained from rolling his eyes, and contained the feeling that was trying to burst out of his chest. It was anger, directed at everyone that was still alive, including himself. There was no fairness in it, to say that he was sad was an understatement, he was eternally devastated, the death of you had broken him, crumbled him into a figure that he no longer recognised.
“No, you can’t Clary.” He dismissed her, walking away, and going to grab his seraph so that he could hunt this sucker down, and bring upon the same kind of pain to its family as its kind had down to him. God, did you look badass as you swung it, and the thought alone had tears resonating in his unmatched eyes, thinking of how it was the last relic that remained of you.
Walking casually into the armoury, Jace had his hands prized in the depths of his pockets, as his expert and quick fleeting eyes focalised on you, and the weapon within your hold. Your body leant in harmony with the blade, the sound of it woosh-img in the air satisfying to all that could hear; that being only you and the Wayland boy.
“Can i not train in peace?” You groaned, lowering the blade whence you realised that you were being watched. The eyes trailed up your side where your shirt had ridden up, raking over the rune that you had drew upon your skin only this morning. A light laugh fell from Jace’s lips as he stalked forward, taking your seraph out of your hand, and going to lob it upon the ground, but the stern look in your eyes stopped him. Instead, against his nature, he placed it down as though it were made of glass, and rose to stand before you once more.
“Not when you look that good.” The blonde retorted with a sly smirk, sliding his hands up the sides of your hips, finding absolute solace in the feel of your skin. He could be against you forever, and he would not complain, so long as it did last for such a time. “Makes me want to do things to you y/n y/l/n. Terrible things. What would the heads think?” He asked, in reference to those that were in charge of the institute.
Stifling down remarked laughter at his sensually intended words, you raised your forefinger to the space above his brows, and poked him with enough pressure, so that he would pay attention to the notion. “That you’re not thinking with your own.” You went to cross your arms, but instead, Jace grabbed them, moving down to cast his hand over your own.
“Oh, I’m not.” The shadowhunter confirmed, placing your hand upon the crotch of his sweats, applying enough force behind his grip so that you could feel him twitching. “I am indeed having thoughts from elsewhere, would you like to see my sweet?” Licking your lips, you nodded, watching as he peeled the layer away, wrapping your hand around his base, and giving him a few jerks, feeling his pulse race through his cock.
“Tell me more about what you’re thinking my love.” You bit your bottom lip, fluttering your eyelashes up at him, only to reverberate a groan from the blonde male. He panted as your pace quickened, and he was almost certain that he was going to spray his jizz all over the floor if you did not uphold your sexual administrations. His head leant back, as pleasured sounds broke through the clenching of his teeth.
And then, it all stopped as a voice, dressed in absolute disgust, written over with unmotivated shock, interrupted your little exchange. “Really guys, this is a gym, not your damned bedroom. The two of you really are disgusting!” It was Alec, and he cringed at the fact that he had seen his best friend’s cock being stroked in your grasp. Yeah, he wasn’t going to be training today, or at least, not in the asserted place for it.
“Clary.” Izzy called her name, wearing a short lived smile. Whence she studied the expression of the redhead, she was quick to pay attention to the disappointment upon her face. There was confusion laddered in her skin, masking it with creased that made her look worried all at the same time. “What happened?” The Lightwood woman asked concerned, bracing a hand upon said girl’s shoulder.
“Jace snapped at me.” The newcomer informed her, frowning at the prospect, and then after all that, he had stormed off, as though she didn’t even matter. She felt well and truly rejected, like a newspaper that had been tossed in the street, and ending up in a horrible puddle. “I thought he might have liked me, but his attitude says otherwise.”
Izzy twitched her nose; she knew what day it was. There was no way to break it to Clary easy that Jace had no amorous emotions towards her, and so instead of being blunt with the new resident at the institute, she decided to tell the woman a story. “There was a girl...” she began, knowing that after all was explained, that Clary would understand.

Spirk fanfic rec
Some amazing Spirk fanfic to bless your dash because I’m falling in love with this shit all over again (this is like the 10th time this has happened lol):
Entering Orbit:  Jim escapes to Iowa to avoid the media frenzy following the Narada incident, but a late-night miscommunication results in Spock turning up on his front porch; rated m; 30,957 words
Papers in the Roadside:  Non-Starfleet AU. Jim owns a small bar in Chicago, keeps on picking up strays and taking care of everyone no matter how hard it makes his own life. Spock is a journalist writing feature articles for the Chicago Tribune; he depicts the world with uncanny skill, but hides more than one personal drama and is possibly under surveillance from the Vulcan royal family. They meet by accident just before their lives start to spin out of control; rated e; 49,637 words
Take Refuge in What You Know:  AU - Kirk has moved into a apartment/house and wants to get to know his neighbors. He meets his neighbor Spock, a loner who suffers from extreme agoraphobia. Kirk thinks he's beautiful enigma; rated e; 120,334 words
Listen, this is not only my favorite Star Trek fic of all time, it’s also one of my favorite fanfics in general. It’s right up there with Text Talk and The Shoebox Project from the HP fandom, which if you’ve read, you know are incredible and frankly life-changing. And this fanfic changed my life. The description the author gives doesn’t do the beauty of this fic justice. I suffer from agoraphobia and Spock’s depiction as an agoraphobic man was probably the most well-researched, sympathetic, empathetic, caring, realistic portrayal of what it’s like to be agoraphobic that I’ve ever witnessed in fiction. It made me cry like a child because I had never felt so seen and understood. This writer is incredible, and this fic is incredible. I can’t recommend it enough. It’s an AU, which I’m usually pretty wary about, but it barely even feels like an AU. It just feels like Jim and Spock. The author’s understanding of both of their characters’ is perfect, like just a spot-on portrayal of who they are. This fic genuinely helped me accept who I am and helped me understand that I am capable of & deserving of love. If you don’t read any other Star Trek fics (and you def should read more Star Trek fics because they’re amazing), then let this one be the one you read. I dare you not to read it three times in a row like I did.
Observations:  First Officer Spock comments on life aboard the Enterprise and his service under Captain James T. Kirk; rated m; 500,000+ words.
So the author of this fic actually did a thing where they made this fic into two books (similar to what The Shoebox Project authors did many years ago in the HP fandom). They don’t get any money from people buying the books; the cost is just to go towards producing the books. This fic is the equivalent of two LARGE novels. We’re talking 600 pages & up. It’s a huge fic. Now, that being said, I read it in one day. ONE DAY. It’s that good. This is another one of my all-time favorite fics, though not quite as dear to my heart as the one I listed above. It’s focused on AOS, and tbh, I forget that what happens in this book isn’t actually canon. Like it’s so well-told, it just feels like it’s now part of the timeless story of Kirk & Spock. The “professional” Star Trek writers would never be brave enough to do what this author does with Kirk and Spock, though. This fic will make you angry, will make you laugh, will make you cry. It has such a good grasp on every single character. It also shows the love between the crew of the Enterprise, which is always a treat, and it’s beautifully done in this fic. It has a sorta-enemies-to-lovers arc between Spirk and an enemies-to-close-friends arc between Spock and McCoy that is beautifully done and fleshed out. This fic is definitely a journey to go through, and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s extremely slow burn, and you will want to slap both Kirk and Spock (and McCoy) upside the head at certain points lol. 
Of Coffee Beans and Green Tea Leaves:  The progression of a relationship, through Coffee Beans and Green Tea Leaves. Basically, it’s an AU where Kirk works at a coffee shop to pay his way through school, and Spock visits often. rated t; 16,429 words
Love, love, love, this fic. It’s cute, it’s in character. They have kind of a rocky start together, so it’s got a little bit of that Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy i-hated-you-but-now-i-love-you-marry-me vibes to it. I’m a sucker for that, if you haven’t figured that out by now lol. It’s really good, and a really enjoyable read. And it’s not too long, if you’re in the mood for something on the shorter end of things.
 Please Don’t Touch the Vulcans:  The "yes" is out of Jim's mouth before he can think about it. Jim is chipper about having time off for the holidays. He asks everyone if they want to spend time together but sadly, everyone ditches Jim over the holidays because they have plans. McCoy visits his daughter, Nyota visits her family, and everyone splits. Not knowing Spock has feelings for him, Jim doesn't even bother asking if he wants to spend time together figuring he has something to do. Something cute, romantic with the boys spending time with one another and confessions; rated m; 17,690 words
Super cute and has lots of Sarek, which idk about y’all, but I’m always a fan of. Sarek and Jim kind of get to know each other a bit, and it’s cute. Sarek knows about they’re in love before Spock & Kirk know lol. If I remember correctly, there’s also some appearances from everyone’s favorite: Old!Spock! You also get a little bit of jealous and protective Young!Spock. So you’re in for a real treat with this one. 
The Ren shat’var Trilogy:  A split-second decision changes Jim's life forever, as he enters into a bond with Spock in the face of certain torture. Enemies to the Federation emerge from unlikely places, and the command team must contend with unexpected threats, as well as challenges within their own intense relationship. In this three-part series, the Enterprise races across the galaxy to confront the unknown, and Jim and Spock discover the true significance of their unprecedented connection; rated e; 184,411 words
Textual Attraction:  Valentine’s Day does not bring up pleasant memories for Cadet Kirk. But the serendipitous switch-up of his cell phone with a particular Vulcan professor’s will make his day far more interesting –and romantic. Perhaps some new memories can be made! 15,900 words
SO GOOD. Just SO good
Spaceman:  Academy AU. Five times Spock realizes he's attracted to a barista at the academy spaceport, and one time he decides to do something about it. rated t; 3728 words
Short, sweet, funny. You’ll love it.
Subtext: Texting your Vulcan first officer in the middle of the night is never a good idea. Especially when you have an obsessive crush on said Vulcan.The holidays are approaching and Jim is left entirely Spockless aboard the Enterprise when his First takes shore leave on New Vulcan. After some midnight pining, Jim sends a text he instantly regrets. That is, until Spock responds and willingly continues their textual communications to an inevitable conclusion; rated t; 13,032 words
Cute, sweet, funny. It’s a texting fic. I think you’ve probably figured out I love those. This one makes me laugh so fucking hard. Like actually laugh-out-loud-omg-did-i-just-snort kind of funny. Spock is great in this one
All Spock Wants For Christmas:  While Jim is away on a delegation mission, he panics about what to give Spock for Christmas. With help from Bones and Uhura, and in between some spam texting with Spock, Jim realizes he already has the perfect gift. And all it needs is wrapping paper and a bow; rated t; 11,966 words
And here we have another cute, sweet, funny texting fic. Sue me lol
The Morning After:  Jim convinces Spock to take shore leave with him on Risa, hoping the time together will help re-solidify their bond of friendship after some recent tension. Meanwhile, Spock convinces himself he's on Risa for one reason and one reason only, to prevent his wayward captain from getting into trouble. After a passionately illogical night of Romulan Ale and chocolate infused liquor, everything changes when Jim wakes with something other than a hangover filling his head. Something he's sure neither he nor Spock can handle. Because if Jim knows anything for sure, it's that his messed up thoughts belong nowhere near Spock's clean, ordered mind; rated m; 50,381 words
HAHA. This fic fucking cracks me up. You’ve got drunk boys pining over each other & not realizing it. You’ve got accidental marriage. You’ve got bed sharing. It’s great, it’s cute, it’s funny. 
Take This Sinking Boat (And Point It Home):  In which Spock pines, Jim isn’t stupid (except he kind of is), and Christopher Pike has had enough of this bullshit; 6698 words
Pike is great in this one, and it’s super, super funny.
Extracurricular Activities:   Spock returns to the Academy from a tour of duty to find an intriguing cadet captures his attention; rated e; 15,433 words
Veritas: Basically, Kirk and Spock are on trial because the Federation thinks they are emotionally compromised by each other, which is putting the lives of their crew in danger. They have to convince a court they’re not actually in love with each other. They think the claims are bullshit. They think it will be easy to prove that they aren’t in love or emotionally compromised, damn it. It isn’t; rated m; 186,80 words
This one is so, so good. A real gem off of Fanfic.net. I remember it was actually one of the first Spirk fanfics I ever read, and it blew me away. The progression of their relationship is really well-done and interesting. It has star-crossed lovers vibes and has some really emotionally intense moments in it, especially for Spock. 
A Habitual Affection:  Living in 1930s New York with the Vulcan you're secretly in love with is no simple thing. But Jim never liked anything simple. And then, the big snowstorm hit...; rated t; 7998 words
A beautiful TOS fic about one of the gayest episodes of Star Trek. Love this one. 
Atlas:  Between what was and what will be stands James Tiberius Kirk, in all his fractured patchwork glory. Because saving the Federation was only the beginning; rated t; 135,529 words
A beaut. Really great characterization, and the progression of Jim and Spock’s relationship is really well-done.
