Love at Midnight (Falling in love ft. the 4 Paxley siblings being dumasses in romance. x reader hcs)
4saken light headcanons (Forsaken light gang headcanons. Mostly fluff and silly shenanigans)
If you ever saw my request from yesterday (not the one you released... PLEASE IGNORE IT IW AS HIGH FROM EXCITEDNESS. 😭😭 i am cringing pleasemforgive me :(( (you can still use the dadmjoke idea if you want...)
Instead of doing dad jokes, can we have a little snippet (and a bit of headcanons) of A marcel with a darling who is a picky eater..? Like they will try anything with hesitation (as long as it passed the eye appeal). I am not speaking for all picky eaters out there so ill just use myself for reference... three components of a picky eater (who uses sense... idk if I worded this right) 1.Looks 2.Scent 3.texture (can judge by looking) 4.taste. Idk if its just me but I often experience sensory-based food aversion...
I don't have much experience with picky eaters so apologies for any inaccuracy aaaaaaaaa so this is probably just a ramble/musing of the things he'd do with a picky Eater s/o
But imo he'd pick up on that right away. When you politely tell him you're done with your food. He asks if it's not to your liking. You lied through your teeth and said you're just full, but he knows better. Marcel starts taking notes. Of things you like or don't like in the things you eat.
One, looks matter. Problem is if it looks too pretty that it looks like art, you instantly don't want to eat it simply out of not wanting to ruin the plating. So he mentally notes that it just has to look like food but also neatly plated. You eat with your eyes first after all. It has to look appetizing to your eyes specifically. Marcel took the time to carefully plate it so that you'd be interested in trying it.
Then the scent. Yes he knows there's a lot of exotic foods and high end ingredients but if they don't smell good you'd yeet that plate out the window even before it reaches your table. So Marcel would remove any ingredients that you don't like the smell of and it would not be in your nose's vicinity as to not ruin your appetite.
Texture is also a thing. While you sometimes taste it first before deciding if it's palatable you can also notice how the texture is going to be from looking at the plate. You'd notice if the cake already looks dry and you wouldn't touch that plate at all.
The last one is taste. You're very particular about the flavor profiles you like, and Marcel is used to navigating through them. For something you're used to eating and liking is not a problem. But for something new, he realized that you're very hesitant. He learned to try and introduce one or two new things and not bombard your plate with things you would eat/try for the first time. Filling the plate with some things you like eating helps to try and get you to try something new.
Also he'd eat his plate first, and he wouldn't fake or overreact. He knows that you know when he's lying. Marcel would have a bite first to convince you to try. He's a very patient man and he's gonna take his time and guide you to try something new with him.
It's definitely something new for him to navigate in the relationship, but if it means seeing you try something and liking it, Marcel is more than happy to put in the effort.
imo He'd try and learn how to cook himself and it's specifically tailored to your taste haha
Is your offer from "Love at midnight" still available...? I would like some marcel writings, I'm barely surviving because there are barely writings of him, can we perhaps explore him..? 🥹
(please pardon the grammatical errors! English is not my first language :(( )
HI!
y e s
we need more marcel content man is fine af
just look at him! my beloved
But then again i'm not sure what you really wanted so uh i did a short fic/drabble/whatever this counts as. Tis' just fluff and Marcel realizing that you fell first, but he fell harder :D
also mini local menace Clemar bc ofc he is
Enjoy! hope it is to your liking hehe lmk if there's something more specific or like headcanons you'd like of this fine gentleman
Perhaps that's what love is when he finally feels it with all five senses. Marcel wouldn't know any better. The slow progression of this relationship that culminated in that grand reveal that felt like he's been run over by a carriage.
Maybe it's his keen sense, or maybe he's just so zoned in on you. The way he'd pick up your scent, of flowers, sweets and something so indescribably...you. He tells no one about this lest they think of him as a creep, but personally Clemar thinks it's a talent. a very specific talent with very niche usage.
Macrel would know if you've been here just a moment ago. He'd be able to tell just from the scent alone. The perfume you had custom made for yourself is the one scent he's acquainted well with. He would be able to deduce what you've been doing just from this alone.
Maybe that's what it feels like to fall in love with your scent
The way his eyes would be able to find you no matter how crowded it is. Marcel would notice when you're walking down the market street from a mile away. He's always paying attention to the details. All of it. from the tip of your hair all the way down to your toes. He would know if you got a haircut, no matter how miniscule the changes are.
He'd notice immediately if you tried to style your hair a different way that day. And when you look at him? He wouldn't mind getting lost in those eyes for eternity.
Marcel look at your fashion choices today as well, noting all the tiny things that would've gone unnoticed by others. He already has a mental database of what clothing style you like, colors you often wear and accessories you fancied. As much as others see it as him telling Clemar it's rude to photograph you without permission, he's just as guilty as his other half is. The private chambers he has back at castle Aberleen is filled with candid photos of you, one he'd hide away should he have anyone visiting his room. Those pictures are for his eyes and his eyes alone.
Perhaps that's what it feels like to fall in love just with the sight of you.
Or maybe it's when he hears your voice? Everything else is on hold and he has to turn around to where your voice is coming from. You'd be there, greeting him with that sweet voice he's all too familiar with. One that's been engraved in his mind.
How he can pick up all the details on your current emotions just from your tone and how you speak. Marcel knows when you're annoyed or feeling sad even before you told him about it. He'd recognize when you're happy about something just from that slight change in your pitch. Even Gusion calls him weird for being able to do that, but he paid no mind. Clemar teases him non stop but it bothers him not.
He's usually not one to hear complaints from clients or anyone else,really. Marcel never liked those fussy entitled customers and how they'd always have something they don't iike. But you? That's an entirely different story.
He'd zip his mouth shut and listen to you talking about your day, the good and the bad. Venting about anyone particularly annoying that day. Marcel would stop whatever it is he was doing to focus solely on you.
Maybe that's what it feels like to fall in love with your voice.
His heart skips a beat when your fingers brush against his. How you're so shy when trying to hold his hands as you walk down the streets. He'd give you a coy smile before interlocking your fingers, feeling your warmth. Marcel likes it when you play with his hair, he'd melt into your touch.He freezes for a moment when you fell asleep mid-reading, head resting on his shoulders. Clemar jokes about waking you up, to which he'd smack his partner square on the head.
He longs for your hug, one you gave him every time you return after a while of being away for work. Marcel basks in your warmth, as if he's a man who's been in cold ruthless winter for months.
He would always be sure to touch you with such care and gentleness, afraid that you'd break if he did it wrong. Cupping your cheeks and feeling the heat rush to your cheek when he kisses your forehead and teases you.
He always wished you'd sleep for longer when he has you in his arms. Hoping the sun takes longer to rise so he can stay in bed with you for just a little while more.
Perhaps that's what it feels like to fall in love with your touch
He'd have the taste of you imprinted on his tongue, faint when you share your sweet treats with him, offering a spoonful for Marcel to try. Who is he to reject, even if Clemar jokes about it being an indirect kiss. He doesn't even realize how hungry he is, and it's not about food.
Or when he places a kiss on the back of your hand during those ball and events he has to attend. The one you made more bearable for him to participate in. Giving you a kiss on the cheek as a 'thank you' for the dance.
Or maybe when it's all over and you're both alone in his room, uninterrupted by no one else. When he kisses down your neck, soft pecks trailing your belly and when he kisses up your thigh. A taste so unmistakably you, one that made him hunger for more. Marcel went back up to lock eyes with you, his hands ensuring there's no escape.
He dives in for the kiss, the all too familiar taste flooding him. Sweeter than anything and oh so intoxicating.
Maybe that's what it feels like to fall in love with your taste.
Marcel leans into the kiss smiling, hands wrapped around you as if you're going to escape if he ever let's go. Taking in all of you, so eager and with such passion. One that you return with just as much as you both became lost in this moment.
He would never trade you for anything in this world. You are his everything, someone he'd give his entire world to.
Perhaps that's what true love is to Marcel Paxley, 21 Years old, when he felt it with all five senses.
Looking up heights for the main YYH characters. Most of this comes from the wikia, but if you find any other sources, let me know.
Urameshi Yusuke - 5′8″
Yukimura Keiko - 5′4″
Kuwabara Kazuma - 6′3″
Kuwabara Shizuru - between 5′8 and 5′10″
Botan - Between 5′6″ - 5′8″
Hiei - 4′10″ during Dark Tournament, said to be 5′3″ at the end of the series.
Yukina - 4′10″
Minamino Shuichi - 5′11″
Yoko Kurama - 7′
Koenma - estimated 6′
Genkai - 4′3″
Annoying, there’s no official page I can find, but this will have to do for now. Some estimations unfortunately.
Yusuke isn’t 5'8" although most of the others’ seem accurate. Yusuke is actually quite short and near Keiko’s height, which is stated during a short little arc near the end of the manga when he has to infiltrate Keiko’s all girl high school. He borrows one of Keiko’s uniforms and it fits him pretty well. If he was a whole 4-5 inches taller than her I don’t think that would be possible. So Yusuke is canonically around 5'4" or 5'5".
*** Please note the heights in @grimtwin‘s post were updated which the current reblob does not reflect, but I didn’t wanna lose @1nerdygurl’s helpful commentary
I’ve never seen a comprehensive official breakdown of numbers (and I generally lean towards skepticism of some things in the wikia lol), but hopefully this will help some people:
Above are official animation reference drawings for relative heights, which should do for most artists and writers in the majority of situations. The first is from Perfect File 2, the second photo is from my very incomplete collection of settei (anime production reference materials) - this one is heights for Chapter Black key characters. (Apologies for the not-so-great quality, neither of these pieces are great for my tiny old scanner so I had to take photos with my phone.)
The animation team has stated one of the hardest things was figuring out relative heights from Togashi’s drawings lol. When I draw/write, my mental benchmarks generally start with “Kuwabara is a full head taller than Yusuke, Yusuke is a full head taller than Hiei, Kurama (Minamino Shuichi) is half a head taller than Yusuke” and then extrapolate other characters from other panels based on this basic measuring stick (of Yusuke basically lmao). For example, Yusuke and Botan are pretty much the same height, or Botan is possibly a bit taller (it’s sometimes hard to tell with her hair, or maybe it’s heels haha). One thing I’ve always found odd/interesting is that there are quite a few artists in both Asia and North American fandoms who swap Yusuke and Kurama’s height, although the four main characters frequently appear side by side in manga panels (and anime sequences of course) so they are by far the easiest to figure out.
Also, two more tidbits with regards to Yusuke’s height:
In the Dark Tournament arc (when he’s unconscious from receiving the spirit wave orb from Genkai), Keiko specifically recalls they used to be the same height (when the series started) but that he had a growth spurt and is now noticeably taller when they are sitting next to each other (but probably not 4-5 inches taller lmao, I think the estimate of about an inch or so makes more sense).
As much as I do love making fun of Yusuke’s size with the cross-dressing incident, it took place in the manga, which offers a more realistic depiction of the girl’s school uniform than the anime - i.e., looser and not so form fitting; there’s some give in it. For a real life comparison with a uniform style that is very similar to Keiko’s school (volume 19), see this post from a few years back where male and female students swapped uniforms at this Yamanishi public high school: http://maiji.tumblr.com/post/102748438489/noragamis-today-a-public-high-school-in-japans
Mobile legends may be horribly unbalanced in some patch updates, matchmaking systems might be horrendous and some random players you meet can be absolutely horrid and toxic
But that ain't stopping me from simping for like almost all the characters tbh y'all can't stop me lmao
(you wouldn't believe how many characters i'd smash but that's another ramble for another shitpost lmao I have this reaction image for a reason)
May contain : 4 idiots with terrifying powers and horrible social skills trying to survive. Xavier is honorary parental figure (he's lowkey confused about taking care of his 3 kids) Yin and Melissa are a menace to society. Julian is a socially awkward bean. Silly shenanigans. Yin is banned from the kitchen. Lieh being an ass in general. Probably found family trope if you squint.
Note : I wanted to write some silly headcanons for these guys. They all would trauma dump on each other tbh. Have fun reading!
Melissa definitely have nicknames for the boys. Yinyin, Jules and Xavi.
Julian is in charge when Xavier is away. Mainly because he's the least likely to drag the other two into trouble (most of the time).
Yin is the big brother figure, but shares a braincell with Melissa.
Is also banned from the kitchen.
The one time they let him cook he blew up an entire room.
Melissa is the one in charge of cooking, since she's used to help her late mother everyday in the kitchen.
Julian only knows how to make fried eggs and instant noodles. Or anything that's done in under 10 minutes, if he has to cook.
Xavier knows some elf cuisine because of his heritage. Sometimes help Melissa cook dinner or supper.
He'd tell them about elven cultures and festivals. They'd stop by and partake in the festivals if time permits. It was fun.
Julian doesn't sleep much. Is often on guard duty if they're out in the wilderness or somewhere out of town/cities.
Sometimes take turns guarding with Yin and/or Xavier
Melissa would patch up their clothes when they're damaged after fights. She has some emergency sewing kit with her at all times.
They would help treat each other's wounds after a fight. They all know basic first aid for one reason or another.
The four getting used to each other took some time. Not only different in terms of background and family history but also because they just decide to run off together hoping to solve their problems.
What finally helped them was Yin opening up about his past and why he's stuck with Lieh.
They all eventually share their own past and problems. And they slowly form a bond with one another. A strong one
Julian once thought the cotton candy Melissa got for the four of them was insulation. Oh when everyone realized he basically had no childhood due to the raven trainings.
'You can eat that?' and off Melissa and Yin go dragging him to try the many things he missed out on.
Julian doesn't admit it, but he had fun. Walking around and relaxing for one day. He kept the fat bird keychain they got him.
Would later develop a liking for pastries specifically. Sweet or savory doesn't matter.
They'd take the time to stop by bakeries on their travel to buy some for everyone. Maybe sit down and enjoy it if time permits.
Xavier often info dumps about advanced magic theories and principles. Julian understands somewhat, Melissa says she'll just wing it. Yin doesn't understand a damn thing he just stares blankly at him.
Melissa definitely would try teaching them how to at least sew and fix things like the buttons on their clothes and simple quick fix. She can't always just sew every time they fucked up their outfit a little.
Yin and Julian often have sparring sessions together.
They have to find a large area because the brawl does sometimes make a tiny crater. So they find some empty area just to be safe.
Julian has a knack for origamis. Yin can only fold a paper plane.
Xavier, Yin and Julian are very protective of Melissa, despite knowing she's more than capable of defending herself.
Some suspicious guy starts flirting harassing Melissa? Yin's already throwing the first punch and Julian already has a dagger out.
Xavier may or may not already be aiming to blast their heads off from behid the group.
Melissa just lets them have their fun
Yin is a sweet-toothed idiot. Melissa often bribed him with cookies and snacks. That's how he usually gets dragged into shenanigans with her
Julian called Xavier 'dad' once on accident. The gang (Yin & Melissa) has yet to let him live that moment down.
Xavier doesn't admit it out loud but he thinks of them as his family.
The gang knows though. They just don't tell him that they knew.
Julian would go with Xavier to feed some stray cats sometimes. They spend a few hours with the fur babies.
Xavier's ears turn a deep red color when he's flustered or embarrassed.
Yin tells terrible dad jokes. Julian sometimes counter with his dark humor.
Melissa multiple times tried to get Yin to at least wear something over his bare chest since he's wearing bandages and nothing else from the waist up
He says it's uncomfortable. Only decides to wear a jacket when they go through snowy areas.
Lieh is lowkey scared of Melissa since she's one of the few who could attack him without hurting Yin. The most ya boi feel during the 'Melissa does voodoo on Lieh' shenanigans is uncomfortable tingling feeling. Nothing he can't handle
Gets into verbal fight with Julian too when he's taken over Yin's body for a while.
Julian has a fascination with birds, especially Ravens (duh).
He actually manage to train a raven to follow his command. Will eventually amass an army of ravens if left unchecked. Current raven friends count : 12
Lieh would sometimes pop up during their travels to make some sarcastic remarks on the group. Or just be a nuisance or maybe try to kill one of them.
Mellisa would shove some plushie stuffing to shut him up.
Xavier still has some allies in the monastery. They help with intel so he can keep everyone save.
Julian is usually the one to scout ahead for danger first so he can help and inform the others.
Xavier gave him headpats that one time after he spotted some traps before anyone got hurt.
Julian blue screens for a moment. Yin and Melissa are just chuckling to themselves
They're all idiots and are kinda terrible in showing their appreciation for one another, but they try.
They'll always have each other's back, though. Whatever happens.
All 4 of them are in a constant state of 'we can't ibuprofen our way out of this one, gang' though.
