the arven x reader fic i'm writing was supposed to be a oneshot and i think you can tell by the first few chapters by it's lowkey rushed pacing... i just wanted to write a nice short falling in love w arven story but then i just kept writing
and writing
and writing
and near the end of i wanna say chapter 4? i realized i cannot write all this and keep it a oneshot 💔 so i locked in on the most recent chapters
im sorry for the somewhat unexpected change ... too late to truly rewrite the beginning chapters but i will continue to improve 🫡
rewriting the early chapters of I'm Sorry because I really hate how flavorless it is LMFAO i'll update my progress but as of this post chapter 1 is rewritten with a new flashback scene of the battle you had with Arven, chapter 2 is a little longer with better wording, and generally more flavor and juice :)
keep an eye out for the next update too because i have literally been RENEWED. my graduation is in like 15 days and trust me when im free i will be writing like a MADDDDDDDD MAN
Arven has an Instagram account where he posts the different meals he's cooked, photos of his Mabostiff and you.
He's 10/10 like jordan_the_stallion8. He'll find out the exact recipes of your favourite restaurants/places so he can make them at home. Sometimes shares then to the internet.
He also has a Discord-equivelent JUST to join the school server, but he rarely uses it.
Amethio
Amethio probably had an Instagram at some point, but it's long forgotten as he focuses on his work more.
I can see him having Tumblr for some reason. And I can't even think of the reason.
Conia
Conia would have an Instagram she'd often post on.
It's has an aesthetic and a theme.
There's a lot of cat pokémon on her page, and you.
Onyx
He has one Facebook account and an Instagram account that has one or two photos from 2013, one of which being something he accidentally posted.
Doesn't use social media often, if at all.
You'll see edits of him from events around using photos from events, but he wouldn't have seen any of them.
Kieran
Avid Instagram user.
10/10 sends you different reels and tiktoks he finds funny or helpful.
He has been on Twitter once or twice. But he avoids it like the plauge. It scares him.
Spinel
Spinel has every social media with multiple accounts for different purposes.
He probably uses Instagram moreso to message and stalk people than anything.
But, on his main instagram he'd post the best and most inoccent photos. A lot of photos of you, your and his 'mons, and fancy places he has taken you to.
His preferred app would be Reddit or Twitter.
Sango
Sango 10/10 has Tiktok and posts there often and she has a huge fan base.
Most of her posts are her talking about something, showing off her pokémon or clips from live events.
She keeps you out of everything so you can keep your privacy.
Sango also streams on TikTok when you're not home, or near her, since she knows that her urge to show you off to everyone would be pretty strong.
In the end, she'll try to ignore the comments asking about you if you show up during the stream.
Could you do some more fluff headcannons with Arven x M!Reader pretty please? 🥺🥺🙏 Your writing is soo good and im craving more!!!
Your wish is my command! My brain was dryer than the Sahara desert when writing this. I've had this in my drafts for WEEKS because i just couldn't think of anything. Im surprised i got this far ;-; im sorry
🩷Buy me a coffee?
Even more fluffy Headcannons | Arven x M.Reader
Arven was the one to confess to you surprisingly enough. He was worried you wouldn’t feel the same way about him so decided to get the gut punch out the way and await your rejection.
When you didn’t, the poor boy was seeing stars. He wasn’t even sure himself that you had said what you did. So when you clarify that you DO in fact feel the same as him, the biggest grin shows up on his face. Though Mabostiff is the one who gets to you first, knocking you to the ground before Arven even got a chance.
In the relationship, Arven makes it abundantly clear that he doesn't care how you look, dress, gender nothing. He wants you to know he loves you for you, and if someone has a problem with you or your relationship. They can talk to him and he’ll deal with it.
Nemmona has fought someone who had an issue with you and Arven. Many ‘let me at em’ were said and Arven was elbowed many times, his nose still hasn’t recovered.
Rule 101 with Arven, he cooks on the road. Doesn’t matter how good you are or how passionate you are. He handles all the sandwiches and grills out on the road, that's his golden spot to impress. At home however, that's when he is more laid back.
Originally, Arven was nervous about holding your hand in public; he didn’t want you to be ashamed of him if someone said something or for you to feel uncomfortable about it. He knows what people can think even in a small community.
It's not until you initiate a hand hold or arm hold with him that he will lower his guard. Once he knows you are comfortable and 100% then he is as well. After all it's your feelings and opinions that matter to him.
Sleeping is a war ground, Arven can be a blanket hog, even when cuddling somehow he has 90% of the blanket. It's difficult to tell if it's on purpose or not. Though it will always end up with one of you asleep on the floor because you fell off. Once you woke up to Arvens feet in the air and him handing off the bed. He was none the wiser.
No he will not do your homework or assignments for you. Will he help you. He sure is gonna try but he is just as clueless as you. Mr Hassel makes as much sense as a rubber on a ruler. It doesn't.
He once tried, key word. TRIED. to draw you with the encouragement of Penny and Giacomo. Please be nice to him when he shows you. He did try honest.
March 19th has rolled around once again being i am now once again here. Witting more birthday headcannons to fill the bottomless pit of my soul. Originally i was going to write Danganrompa ones but then remembered the fandom is basically dead just like all of my loved characters... Then i thought JoJo's, then MHA, Then KNY, Then Horror and many many other fandom i'm in and eventually decided to finish what i started. POKEMON! Scarlet and Violet edition! I'm gonna have to write a hundred of these ain't i...
When it comes to your birthday, Arven has absolutely zero plan. Not because he doesn’t have any ideas! Man has many ideas… too many to keep track of.
Arven has so many things he thinks you’ll enjoy, or places he wants to show you that his brain is about a thousand steps ahead of him, and the day before he just crashes out and wings everything on the day.
To him, this is your day, has nothing to do with him, it is your time to feel as happy as possible! Even without a plan our sandwich professional is going to work his ass off to make sure your smile never fades.
He may actually cry if it does.
In the morning, expect breakfast in bed. Equipped with all of your Pokemon already fed exactly how they like it. He takes notes. Any chores need to be done, Arven’s already done them. If you even attempt to get up before you have finished your breakfast, he will physically stand in the doorway with the most stern puppy dog eyes you will ever see on a human being.
Arven even put extra effort in to make it look pretty, please enjoy it ;-;
As for the actual day starting, he is essentially going to follow you around the entire time. If you want to stay in and watch movies, every blanket is there, PILLOW FORT! Shiny hunting may not be in his skill set but he will damn well try! Arven is more than happy to join you in some Pokemon battles, trainer or wild he is your player 2.
No you cannot convince him to play video games with you. Arven could watch you all day though so if you want to ramble about your favourite game, his imaginary tail is eagerly wagging behind him while you talk.
Best part of the day, Lunch and Dinner. He goes ALL OUT! Anything you want to eat, it's yours, nothing is off the table, no matter how weird or exquisite it is. Hell you could ask him for just a bowl of cheesy nachos and he will make the greatest bowl of cheesy nachos the world will ever see.
He is so smitten with you already, so seeing your smile enjoying his food this time just feels so special to him. Arven put so much effort into this and to know you're happy with it makes his heart swell with love.
When it comes to gifts, he gives you 2. One he bought, most likely an item of clothing you had your eye on but couldn’t quite get yet. And the second is a handmade gift. He didn’t have help at all, don’t ask Nemona she didn’t help, Nemona and Arven didn’t work together in peace, that didn’t happen! YOU SAW NOTHING! Also ignore the Mabostiff hair.
🧡🪩Carmine🪩🧡
Our excitable queen will make this day so special for you. Carmine will ask a few days prior about previous birthdays you’ve had and no matter what you tell her, she is now DEAD SET on making this the best one!
You will be waking up at the crack of dawn. She did not wake you up, on purpose. But her Aggressive shuffling of things in the next room can cause some noise.
Remember those Kimonos Carmine gave you during the festival? Well turns out she has more, the shuffling was her digging them out from her hiding spot. Handmade by her and her Grandma. Custom made just for you, and hers matches, just with small differences to fit your personalities!
Unlike Arven, Carmine has planned a day ahead although she will ask about everything before actually doing them. As excitable as she can be, your comfort is a top priority for her so if you say no to something she planned, consider it crossed off her list of fun things.
Carmine will however take you to the Shrine at some point towards the end of the day. Most likely around Sunset where she will tell you some of the Village's oldest tales and secrets. This is also where she gives you a gift. A Wood carving of your Pokemon. She had it made by an old friend of hers, hiding the carving here so no matter what you wouldn’t find it ahead of the day.
She will give you sneaky gifts as well though, just not in the traditional sense. You will suddenly find your item bag restocked with a bunch of different poke balls. Your bag now has a fluffy pom pom on it, when did that get there. Your worn down shoes suddenly look brand new. When did your hat get fixed?
This is also the only time you can convince Carmine to come to Paldea with you that doesn’t involve Area Zero or School. So take the chance whilst you can.
💜💤Drayton💤💜
Oh boy, Drayton our beloved. This day is going to be… Unique
One of two situations will happen, though neither start until he wakes up around 1pm.
Situation 1) Colgate has a day full of battles and adventures just waiting for you! Starting the day off with a nice pokemon battle between you. Followed by a full catching lap of each area within the Terrarium. He even enhanced his shiny hunting skills just for you! Drayton will still scare them away though, but he saw it this time!
Randomly throughout the day he will just pull you into spontaneous hugs, which is something he does anyway but these are different. Toothpaste wants you to know how much he loves you so will pamper you the entire day. Every hug you face is covered in kisses from him. Drayton will open every door for you, take off his jacket for you to sit on when you stop for a picnic. In regards to physical affection, Drayton towers over the others.
Drayton even packed extra pokeballs for you, well Luxury balls, he wanted these ones specifically to use on this day. Makes it feel more special to him since he never changed the ball he uses.
Is your cheerleader. Like Arven he will follow you around when exploring the terrarium, so when you find a Pokemon you want and start up that battle. He is yelling his lungs out. Many a Rowlet was woken up. One even sat on his head at one point ruining his hair. Probably in retaliation to the squawking he was doing.
He may be a chill, go with the flow person. But today he is letting it loose, just having fun with it. All that built up energy is coming out today.
Situation 2) Lazy day. Drayton will grab you and pull you into him, laying you on his chest so he can just wrap you up in his embrace for as long as you let him. He has a blanket set up for you and the remote within your reach, movies and tv shows set up ready for you. If the pair of you aren't near a bed or sofa to just lay down and chill, he will carry you to one of them, whichever you feel more comfortable in.
No you are not getting up to get something. If you want something either Colgate is getting it, or one of his Pokemon are more than eager to help. Drayton won’t stop you getting up of course, you’ll just have to wiggle your way out of his steel grip first. Unless it's the bathroom, he will let go. He isn’t weird so don’t even think about it.
🖤🎶Giacomo🎶🖤
Giacomo is the same lovable DJ regardless of redemption or not. So when it comes to your birthday, he is ready! Has he written and produced multiple songs just for your birthday, yes. Will he play them randomly throughout the day to catch you off guard just to see your genuine reaction, absolutely!
He cannot cook, in fact among the star crew he is the WORST cook. Giacomo and ovens are sworn enemies, even a microwave will fight back. Best he can do is a cheese sandwich. So no special birthday food, he would have asked for help, he really would. If he remembered he actually has to ask and can’t will it into existence randomly.
You may have to call Arven in for assistance.
Giacomo may not be able to cook, but damn can he have a good time. One of the best people to spend a birthday with, he is a DJ after all, if you wanted it, he would turn the entire star base into a celebration just for you, he has the power to so after all, why not use it. If this is post redemption however, he will dial it back ten fold it will still be to your liking but less… Grand?
If parties aren't your thing, no worries! He has an entire day long music playlist set up to play on speakers throughout the rooms. When a really good song comes on, he’ll stop whatever he was doing to pull you into a dance with him, goofy or romantic he will have fun with it.
When it comes to gifts he is an ask and you shall receive kind of guy. He doesn’t spend money throughout the year on himself, he wears the same outfits basically every week, it's a system. The only time he spends money is on other people. So he has the money to spare.
Giacomo will straight up just give you his card directly when you can’t decide on something. The biggest toothy grin on his face as he ushers you to enjoy your special day.
Orders in for dinner. Doesn’t matter when or what it is. So long as he doesn't have to call Arven again.
Surprisingly enough this is one of the few times he actually lets go of things, no team star, no school, no DJ work, nothing. Just you and your birthday are his priorities today.
The other leaders will show up throughout the day to give you a gift tho. You’re part of the family now.
🩵❄️Grusha❄️🩵
SNOW CABIN
With Grusha, your birthday is a multiple day event.
For the next 3 days, he has a cozy cabin booked for just the two of you to spend time together. You know those really cozy winter cabins you see in those cheesy Christmas movies? One of those.
Grusha will make sure this time is fun for you, it's one of the few times you will see a childish side of him surface. Snowball fights are a must, your birthday is the only time you can get away with chucking a snowball at him and not start an all out turf war with his Pokemon and yours.
Any and all Gym challenges are cast aside, The gym can do without him for a few days, this is your birthday after all. The gym can take a few days off.
The morning is the only time he will be outside the cabin, so this is when he will take you ice skating, build a snowman with you and just genuinely enjoy the snow with you. Since he's around Snow almost all the time, he tends to forget just how much fun it can be.
Once inside though, that's when the Grusha you know will show. The soft romantic side of him showing in full force. Sat by the fire, curled up in eachothers embrace, just living in the moment, enjoying the natural conversations that come. No movie or TV show, no rotom phones, just a genuine conversation.
Even if what you are talking about is a topic you both have talked about before, doesn’t matter. As long as you are smiling and enjoying your birthday trip, he is satisfied.
💜🪻Kieran🪻💜
You mean the world to Kieran, he owes you life times of debt. To him you are his anchor, his reason to keep going. So when it comes to your birthday, this is a day he is going to make special.
Kieran over thinks everything the day before, practically pulling his hair out when he reads through is incoherent scribbling of ideas. Carmine makes an attempt to help and it results in Kieran slumping into the corner in a defeated ball.
Once his nerves have settled and his thoughts are consistent does he finally get an idea he likes.
For the entire day, he is going shiny hunting with you, taking you to each area helping you get as many cute colourful pokemon as you can within the hours the day gave you. And don;t worry about the Herba, he has that covered. He wasn’t the champion for nothing.
Kieran is already touchy, constantly wanting to hold your hand, today is no different. The entire time he is holding your hand and following behind you, watching you with heart eyes every time you point at a Pokemon or drag him back to the academy.
No battles today. Kieran won’t allow them on your special day. To him they mean negative things, competition. This is your day, not his, not Drayton, no that random beach lady. Yours. So battles are off limits. If you want to watch a battle he is fine with that though.
You can go one day without battling you maniacs!
He only has his Hydrapples ball on him today, his bag is empty at the start but full by the end of the day with the amount of rocks, and things you find. He emptied it just for today. No pebble left behind! It's also totally not because he wants an excuse to go shell hunting.
Future thing: He would definitely propose on your birthday. Just saying.
