he always knew he never wanted it, even before the dreaded spider bite. but it was even worse after that, what with his heightened senses and increased panic. the heat was too much, the skin on skin was too much contact, the wetness of lips against lips was overwhelming. it always felt like he couldn’t breathe.
and so when peter finally got his head out of his ass and sorted out his own disastrous bisexuality, he figured out his crush on ned and mj. and he wanted to die. because he just wanted to hold both of them in his arms and never let them go, he wanted them to know that they were safe with him. he wanted soft forehead kisses in the mornings and kisses on cheeks as they cuddled and let the world pass them by. but he knew that they would want more than that, doesn’t everyone want more than that, won’t everyone need more than that?
but one day ned leaned across the floor while they built their lego star wars death star and kissed him softly on the lips. peter counted-one, two, three-before ned pulled away, and it took all of his willpower not to cry. and the next day when mj pulled both peter and ned towards her and kissed them both, peter put on a smile. neither of them noticed that it was fake. it was a mask, disguising his brokenness and his pain.
so he did everything to avoid the kisses, and the suggestions about going farther. he lied about having to go help mr. stark when ned pulled him into an empty classroom and started kissing away. he ran to the bathroom and hid when mj took them both to the movies and they sat in the back, in the make out spot. he was his own overprotective parent, always making sure that mr. stark was home when they would hang to avoid any implications of being home alone. he would invite other friends to their dates in order to avoid any chance of being pulled away for the things that he dreaded most. the excuses built up and up and peter felt the pressure pushing down on him, heavy with his lies.
YOOO lets do a Roman angst trade. You hit me with Roman angst and I’ll hit you with Roman angst. Can be a headcannon, an angsty theory, or a angst moment or whatever. I don’t care the medium, just come at me with your worst and ill do my best to match or one-up you. please do it I am very bored.
HC: the more Roman feels like fake for pretending to be okay and happy for the other sides, the more he turns into a porcelain doll. For example, his skin starts to turn to porcelain after pretending to be happy with the decision with what happened in the courtroom. Eventually it goes away as Roman forgets the problem or starts to feel better.
Imagine if he never gets better after making the decision to go to the wedding, Remus making it worse when he hits Roman because he hits him causing cracks in his skin. After POF, he tries to stop the spread of the porcelain and goes to the others but he overhears them talking and laughing with each other without him and even an off hand comment/joke how it’s a little more peaceful without his dramatic inputs. So he tries to deal with it on his own, not noticing cracks blooming from his chest, and tries to change himself to be better for the other(making the porcelain spread faster).
The others eventually come to check on the creative side that’s been missing for weeks, only to find a smiling, cracked, unmoving, procelain prince with strings attached to his limbs, laying peacefully on the bed and never to move again.
Also a small detail but I love that Jack’s been keeping up with his photography!
80% of them are of bitty. someone who manages the falcs social media gets a hold of the cutest couple photos and puts them up on all of their channels after the presser bc georgia martin does not fuck around and if anything the falcs as an organization doubles down on their support!!!!!!!
This headcannon is brought to you by the fact that I’m still listening to Lemonade all the time and that I follow a bunch of YouTuber Snapchats
After Bitty and Jack come out, Bitty has a public snapchat that he basically uses the way your typical YouTuber does. (this got really long lol, look under the cut)
Long awaited by @aquagirl1978&@violettduchess , tonight seemed like the night to shake things up with some Ikepri suitor Hogwarts Houses sorting! So without further ado, let’s see where our 8 Princes (along with Sariel and Rio, of course) would be placed - in my humble opinion -, and why!
♡♡♡
Jin Grandet: Gryffindor
• Jin seems to me like a fine mixture between Ron Weasley and Dean Thomas. He’s brave and caring, and will not hesitate to help someone who needs him. However he isn’t the best at social cues - no matter what he thinks - and tends to go about things the wrong way, despite having the best of intentions. But Jin has a good heart underneath his slippery exterior, and when it comes down to it, he will easily step up to save someone who needs saving, no matter who they are.
Chevalier Michel: Ravenclaw
• The 2nd Prince is nothing if not a bona-fide genius. He has a photographic memory and is able to read minds through careful discernment (or maybe you really are just that easy, MC). But his intelligence isn’t the only reason I would place him in the house of wisdom. The way he thinks is distinctly different from any of the other princes, as well as pretty much…well..everyone else. His uniqueness is both part of his charm and his downfall, but it puts him nicely in the Ravenclaw niche.
Clavis Lelouch: Slytherin
• I’m quite fully convinced that Clavis is actually just the living version of Peeves the poltergeist, but if I had to house him, he would go in good ole Slytherin. He’s sly and has a killer sense of self preservation. He plays both sides and is cunning when he needs to be. He has a heart, he was just never properly taught how to use it, so instead of selflessness and honor, Clavis uses it to survive. His street smarts could - and do - get him anywhere he wants to go, and sociability is one of the most highly regarded (but least talked about) traits of Slytherin house.
Leon Dompteur: Gryffindor
• Leon is the classic Harry Potter character, albeit a tad smarter. He’s heroic, brave, tends to take the troubles of others onto his own shoulders, and never steps away from a fight of honor. He is wildly protective of his friends and those closest to him, and he cares about people no matter their background or origins. But be careful, Leon; too much bravery can lead to foolishness. Also…his crest is… literally a Lion. So there’s that.
Yves Kloss: Hufflepuff
• Yves’s haughty nature probably stems from some internal insecurity. It’s a façade that’s rather easy to see through, and once you do, you see a soft-hearted, shy little boy who wants to do anything he can to keep what he loves held close. His gentle purity and adoration of sweets and baking lends his heart to Hufflepuff in my mind.
Licht Klein: Slytherin
•Hear me out. Licht is fiercely loyal to the people and causes he cares about. He keeps his internal struggles close to his chest and deals with them in external ways, even if those methods aren’t always what’s best for him. He is essentially the Draco Malfoy in our story, minus the rudeness. Licht is in a constant struggle between what he feels he deserves and what he actually wants, but that doesn’t curb his determination to stay resilient in his chosen path.
Nokto Klein: Ravenclaw
• He may portray himself as a man-whore, but you have to admit, Nokto Klein is smart. There’s a reason he is King Highness’s best informant: he’s the one who knows all the goings-on of everyone and everything at the castle at all times. His mask is part of his brilliance (as well as his emotional trauma, but I won’t go into that now). It perfectly conceals his true intentions and keeps enemy eyes perfectly distracted by his flippancy.
Luke Randolph: Hufflepuff
• It should come as no shock that I put our precious bear Luke in Hufflepuff. He has all the traits of the common ‘Puff. He loves food (especially ), he’s a chronic sleeper (same, boo), and he has the most intense loyal streak one could ever find in a human being. He’s protective of who he loves and will not hesitate to chop off a dragon’s head to save someone in need. But the moment the dragon is dead, he becomes as sweet and syrupy as the treat he loves eating so much - you are what you eat, right Luke?
Sariel Noir: Slytherin
• I think this is probably the most obvious housing. Sariel is smart, quick on his feet, self-serving, and always prepared for any situation. This hot little sadist is a textbook Slytherin, whip and all. He sees solid importance in what he does, and that fuels his tenaciousness. He has a lot of pride in his position and the institution for which he stands, and he has no trouble doubling down on his beliefs, as well as being so incredibly reasonable that he can convince others to take his side of whatever matter at least 98.5% of the time.
Rio Ortiz: Gryffindor
• A few months ago, if you had asked me what house I would place Rio in, Hufflepuff would have been my answer without hesitation. But with the release of his route imminent, there is proving to be more to this little golden retriever than we’ve been allowed to believe thus far. His devotion to MC is nothing short of miraculous, as he stays true to her even when she’s off gallivanting with the 8 princes of the kingdom. Also, the whole factor of him surrendering his life to MC after she saves him is rather Gryffindor-ish of him, don’t you think?
Wednesdays are for Headcanons: MLQC mixed tape 80s edition.
Let’s go 30 to 40 years back in time. To the years of Walkman, mixed tapes, mullets and neon colored baggy clothes. This is a Headcanon on the songs our MLQC boys would request for MC on a radio show and which ones MC would send them in return.
Kiro
Kiro is our bubbly boy who is the most versed one musically among the LIs and would probably be a rock star himself in the 80s filling all kinds of stadiums up to the last row and beyond. For him and MC I can’t help and think about feel good viby tunes.
MC is one in a million, the lucky Fan who has the proud winner of legendary Kiro’s heart. She runs around her house getting prepared for her date singing… “I should be so lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky”
Stuck in a cartoon, not being able to overcome the boundary between fiction and reality but is trying to save the girl he loves with everything he has, be it from close or far or even from the shadows. All he wants is her to take on him
“So needless to say
I’m odds and ends
But I’ll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is okay
Say after me
It’s no better to be safe than sorry”
Lucien
Of all the guys, the song for Lucien ia crystal clear. This man, whose solitude has been a monochromic and cold castle made of stone in which he has surrounded himself with an everlasting apathy, was shaken to his core when this woman has entered his world infiltrating through the cracks of this stone castle with her tenderness right into his heart. This man, now, wants her to teach him how to love, he wants to know what love is.
MC on the hand has to live a constant state of oxymoron as she cannot bear to get too close to him, afraid to get hurt again but also cannot fight her instincts that are telling her to see beyond the apathetic façade he’s showing and to see the Iridescence of a dream world he can show her. This is her answer to him asking her to teach him how to love:
“And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you“
Victor
Oooh Vicky, a man of sorrow, a man of a 10.000 wait, a man of "tough love”. Underneath his armour this guy has only one thing that his heart desires and it’s nothing than her love. Nothing else, he is ready to face all the punishments time and space can put through or how many light-years he has to travel through to find her again. He’s down to any and every challenge because Nothings ever gonna change his love for her:
“Nothing is gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I’ll never ask for more than your love”
MC is thankful for the hardened skin she has thanks to Victor’s mentoring and is more than willing to play her part whenever a new unknown is ahead or she has to survive through hardships. She’s ready for it all.
“The sound of your heart beating made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can’t go on is light-years away
‘Cause I am your lady and you are my man
Whenever you reach for me, I know that I′ll do all that I can
We′re heading for something
Somewhere I’ve never been, sometimes I am frightened
But I′m ready to learn 'bout the power of love.”
Gavin
I tell you one thing, this song is so Gavin that if Gavs lived in the 80s, he would be the one who wrote the lyrics of it I mean, Rick is even wearing a beige raincoat and all-denim, could it get any more “Gavinier” than that I ask you. Aside from the chorus which is Gavin’s promise in a nutshell these lines describe their S2 dynamic:
“We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching but you’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand”
They share a long history together but due to their positions there is a perpetual cold war going on between them and even though they never suspect each other’s heart’s contents they keep playing this “love game” and we poor Gavin stans cannot do anything but wait for the day this game will have a winner, our lovebirds that is.
MC is tightly bound by the shackles of faith and carries a heavy crown of being the Queen. Has to courageously face death, loss and calamities many times and she feels lonely, tired, nervous and terrified. Especially at those times she needs the presence of the bright eyes, wants them to turn around and wants the bearer of these eyes to hold her tight… forever.
Shaw
Our hot/cold rebel Shaw is not the type of guy to send a lovey dovey sing to MC, no no no. He wouldn’t even accept that he is in love easily and would play it “cool” until he can’t.
Also strolling on the high-value musical side of life, he would only choose a song from a music legend if he can’t help it.
Crazy Little Thing Called Love fits you well Shawty amirite? ⚡⚡⚡
“There goes my baby
She knows how to rock and roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
She leaves me in a cool, cool sweat
I gotta be cool, relax
Get hip and get on my tracks
MC is left in a dilemma by this unforeseeable, complex guy whose words and acts are in a daily roller-coaster. Does he love her, does he dislike her? Is he reliable? What’s his deal anyways and most importantly… Why must he be soo haaawt? How would she know?
"How will I know if he really loves me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I’m asking you what you know about these things
How will I know if he’s thinking of me?
I try to phone but I’m too shy (can’t speak)
Falling in love is so bittersweet
This love is strong, why do I feel weak?”
—-——————————-
Finally I have some spare time and preparing this post was really fun and I might make another one for the 90s, we’ll see :)
luisa never stopped treating Mirabel like a toddler
like, luisa probably had to take care of mirabel when they were children and of course the 6 yo, much larger in size and gifted with strength luisa would just carry 2 yo mirabel like a new born baby whenever asked to
but thing is mirabel never really grew up for luisa, for her mira was always her small portable baby sister
so even now that mirabel is 15 when someone tells luisa to go get mirabel she just says something like “mom needs you in the kitchen” and pick her up from the floor
or mirabel saying something like “I’m so tired from walking” and luisa says “I’ll take you on my shoulders” and mira being like “uh, luisa, you don’t really have to I’m not a little kid-”
or mirabel is in someone’s way but instead of luisa asking her to move she just gently lift her and put her a bit to the side
we even see luisa fixing mira’s clothes and glasses in surface pressure
you guys really like this so I made some silly clumsy drawings
pepa never really learned how to deal with her emotions properly because people alwyas told her to bottle all up and if people actually let her let go of her emotions when she was younger she would be a much calmer person and having to calm her down all the time wouldn’t be a problem
and in addition to this, pepa was the reason why the whole “we don’t talk about bruno” thing started, but indirectly
truth is that pepa really really loves her brother (in all of you she’s the first to rush towards bruno and give him a big hug) and when he dissapeared she was obviously devastated
alma started censoring everyone who began to talk about bruno because it would upset pepa and potentially cause a disaster
meanwhile pepa took the “we don’t talk about bruno” talk from her mother as “bruno did something bad”, eventually she started feeling anger towards him for dissapearing and since she can’t deal with her emotions she just started seeing bruno in an overall bad light and blame him for stuff that happened on the past (like the wedding fiasco)
when he comes back, rather than shocked like julieta, pepa seems guilty to see bruno again.

dolores likes the fact that mariano talks loudly because it’s easier to focus on his voice out of all the little sounds in encanto and that’s how she fell in love with him in the first place
Gray Wing is considered all of Silverpelt, with the stars and constellations that represent every cat making up his fur. In WindClan, kits often believe that rain is just dewdrops being shaken from his pelt, and some cats even believe that the moon itself is his gaze.
Similarly, there’s an old belief that the moor’s winds are caused by Windstar racing across the sky. Strong gusts are believed to be the result of Gorsestar running beside her.
There is also the myth that the many moths that flutter through the territory are messengers of Moth Flight, sent to whisper advice to the current medicine cat.
In the past, WindClan actively practiced Gray Wing’s idea of kindness and friendship. They fought only when necessary, and would offer aid to other Clans when possible.
Tallstar was especially fond of the tradition, but it was mostly forgotten during Onestar’s reign, since he believed the ideology sounded too much like Firestar’s way of doing things.
Unsurprisingly, this aided in WindClan’s turn in reputation, as they are now known for being harsh and antagonizing ThunderClan.
Crowfeather and Nightcloud are the only cats who can remember the old tradition, and they’ve been trying to reintroduce it since the change in leadership. Fortunately, Harestar is very open to the idea.
Guys, I’m all for the idea that the Clans have constellations that they believe are the forms of the first leaders, and that certain stars are specific heroes.
But I am even more for the idea that all of that is true, except that Gray Wing was so loved that the Clans said no, he’s not a simple star. He’s all of Silverpelt.
All the stars and constellations make up his fur because without him, the first leaders wouldn’t have been brought together and the Clans never would have existed.
When the friends and family he left behind looked up at the sky, all they could see was him and his love for them, and they wanted every Clan cat after them to see that too.
The myth that bad leaf-bares can lead to eating kits comes from a horrifying real-life event.
Not too long after the Clans first began, a severe leaf-bare caused many cats to starve to death. As the story goes, a litter of kits went missing from ShadowClan’s nursery during this time, and it was assumed that foxes were the culprit.
Soon after, a warrior named Maggottail came back from hunting with a surprising amount of prey, though the kills were mangled beyond recognition.
He said they were squirrels. But when asked again, they were rats. Then they were some strange type of Twoleg pet.
Eventually, the grieving queen’s mate coaxed her into eating. But as she bent to take a bite, she caught a whiff of her kits’ scent. The sound of the screeching and wailing that followed would haunt any cat.
It took many moons for ShadowClan to forget the taste of kitten blood on their tongues.
According to myths, a falling star is a StarClan warrior coming to retrieve a dying cat.
The Clans view the sign as comforting, rather than something to fear. While one of their clanmates may be dying, it’s known that they will be safe and happy in the afterlife.
For the Clans, the brightest star in the sky is thought to be Gray Wing. He may not have been a leader, but he was an important figure to all of the Clans in their beginning. From what the stories about him detail, it only makes sense that he became such a beautiful star.
