I’ve been in Barbie hyperfixation land ever since I watched it, and Ken is such a fun character to read about so I tried throwing my hat in the ring. I didn’t really see anything like this but the idea of ballroom dancing with Ken like in a Barbie princess movie,,, it’s been spinning around in my brain like a microwave pizza roll. If this is incomprehensible it’s because it’s 1am and I already took my melatonin lmao if anyone else wants to write smth like this *gestures vaguely* I would love to read it I wanna see more formal princely Ken fics
- once a month President Barbie holds a formal gala!!! What, did you think every night in barbieland was a chill dream house party with planned choreography? No, of course not! We gotta add some variety
- every Barbie has some knowledge of classical dance, along with other choreos, yes even you!
- You’re getting dressed in your FAVORITE fancy outfit, you’ve been waiting to break it out since the last gala, the month before!
- You make sure your hair and clothing are perfect before you get in your car to pick Ken up. You find him in town, already in his clean pressed suit and ready for dancing. You let him sit in the passenger’s seat after he asked nicely :)
- Once you get to the ballroom, there’s a table full of plastic treats, the President really goes all out on these events! There’s even a chocolate fountain! The chocolate doesn’t move, of course, but what does in Barbieland?
- There’s a classical song playing from a live band of Barbies. It’s so nice of them to play their beautiful music for tonight, and they do get to dance at some point or another because they deserve it 🩷
- Ken asks you if you’d like to dance with him, crossing his fingers down by his waist hoping you’d say yes. You nod, and he fist pumps the air before reaching out for your hand.
- Making your way to the center of the dancefloor, the barbie band starts a new song, one that you know very well. You and Ken dance together beautifully, every step in sync and perfect.
- That is, until you take a misstep and trip over your feet, falling in slow motion to the music.
- Ken, thinking quickly reaches out, and the slowed time flashes back to normal as soon as you’re back in his arms. He holds you close for a moment before bringing you back to your feet.
- Taking a break, you two decide to go out onto the elegant balcony connected off the ballroom, and stare up into the starry night sky of barbieland 🩷
“Where are you going?” He heard your small drowsy voice ask from the darkness. He didn’t answer as he silently started putting his boots back on. “Come back under the covers and cuddle with me.”
Cuddle? He was Billy Hargrove. Billy Hargrove doesn’t do cuddles. So why did he find himself pausing before kicking off his shoes to lay with you again?
LOL HIHIHIHIHI I AM REWATCHING SK8 WITH MY ROOMMATES AND WAS LAUNCHED HEAD FIRST BACK INTO THE SHADOW REALM WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THISLL LAST BUT ITS FINALS WEEK FOR COLLEGE LETS GOOOOOO
Shadow + Winter shit HCs!!
HE WOULD BE A TERRRRIBLE ICE SKATER
OH MY GODDDDD
so you thought oh! cute date idea, lets go to the local skate rink, c’mon hiromi, it’ll be fun <3
and he just. As Soon As He Get On The Ice he just. He’s already on his ass. please help him. Oh no, he’s trying to get up on his own oh no youre going down with him oh no it all went wrong
You guys get him (and yourself if you’re not that good at ice skating either- you can suck together in that case <3) a little penguin shaped walker thing for the ice rink. one of these guys v
you guys end up quitting after a bit, sore butts on both of you (u-u
but!!! you get to have hot cocoa at his place!!!
and he has a Special Way he makes it (no youre not allowed to know his secret way. he wants to make u his special cocoa geT OUT OF THE KITCHEN-)
But its very good. Is that peppermint? or does it have cinnamon? It is exactly to your tastes and you have no idea how he did it. 10/10 cocoa experience
After getting a second mug, you guys are choosing to order takeout from you guys’ favorite restaurant and sit down to watch your favorite holiday movie :))
Alright, I guess I’m just never allowed to leave the sk8 fandom 💀 my roommate and I just binged the whole thing bc they never saw it and we’ve been meaning to watch it, so have some general headcanons I scrounged up, I tried to look at the old shadow server but didn’t get much inspiration, does anyone else remember that place???
SHADOWMATCHABLOSSOM HCS PART 2: THE SEQUEL WE DIDNT NEED
Here is part 1! If anyone wanted to look at my 2 year old headcanons 💀
Alright, we all know Hiromi’s a lightweight
As shown by him literally clinging to Joe
Joe and Cherry love him but oh my god does he need to figure out how to hold his alcohol 💀
Joe can handle it, he’s a bigger dude who has a drink from time to time, and Cherry is used to drinking but bougie.
Shadow doesn’t normally drink, so when he does he just. Shitfaced, as soon as he sees a glass. Doesn’t even have to have anything in it.
So who has to carry him home and tuck him in bed and give him a little kiss after a rare night out? His oh so kind, sweet, caring boyfriends 🙄
They’ll also leave water and meds by the bedside for his hangover in the morning, because they’re (cherry is at least) thoughtful like that
But this doesn’t happen often, they don’t go out that much! When they’re not at work, they’re at S, and when they’re not at either they’re SLEEPING. They all work so hard and for what 😭 working to live or living to work besties???
But that just makes it more special when they do get to go out
Whether it’s a date night or just a trip to a bar, they’re always going to have fun
They tried to implement a date planning system, like Hiromi plans one, then Joe the next, then cherry the next
But that fell through, they more so just do movie nights and order takeout when they have the energy to chill out together
I feel like they’re all some degree of workaholic?? Like they will just go and go and go and they won’t stop working
Like cherry? There’s no way he’s not super self disciplined, and Joe owns his restaurant, it’s not like he can just skip work all the time. Hiromi loves his job and even though he failed trying to get with his manager, he still respects her and is technically her friend, so he likes to do his job well.
So because of their work and S, they don’t get much time to veg imo
Most often one will go in the group chat and ask “hey, do you guys want to watch a movie tonight?” And then they will order food, because as good as joes cooking is and how much he loves making food, a lot of the time when he gets home he doesn’t want to make more food than he already has that day.
Instead of planning date nights now, they will pick movies :)
I really don’t know where this is going but I’m tired now so goodbye!!! See you whenever I get sk8 inspo again!!
he gives THE BEST hugs you cannot tell me otherwise
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MANS ARMS
THEMS ARMS IS MADE FOR HUGGING
*pats Hiromi’s head* this man can hold so much soft cuddle opportunities.
Big spoon yes, but have you considered:
little spoon Hiromi
like if you’re smaller than him (He’s 5’10” last time I checked) and he was the little spoon?? amazing, never change.
if you’re a bigger spoon than he is?? Equally as nice, damn wish I were that big and or tall.
hes just laying in front of you and you give a lil kith on the back of his neck when he’s the little spoon? 🥺 and he kinda wakes up cuz you know the minute he hits a pillow mans is out like a light, and he just kinda “hm?” And turns over just enough to kiss your nose?
ok ok how about laying on his chest? He seems like he’d be so warm 🥺
you two are just chilling on the couch watching your show or a movie and your head is over his heart and it’s late at night? You two are just going in and out of consciousness?
or what about him laying on your chest?
it was a long day at the flower shop and you’re sitting at one end of the couch and he just kinda flops over and chills over you? You’re loosely wrapping your arms around his shoulders and back and give him a lil forehead kith and go back to what you were doing beforehand?
this last one isnt really cuddles but what about when he wins at S and you’re there at the finish line
and he kinda pulls what Reki and Langa did in the last ep but reverse kinda? So not really, but hes like. jumps off his skateboard and runs at you and next thing you know you’re off the ground and being swung in circles in a hug. He’s still riding the high of victory and the adrenaline is still running :) and you’re laughing and he’s super happy and you’re proud of him, maybe not for playing dirty but this is S, and he is Shadow, it’s just how he rolls.
Updates: Mondays, at 9 AM CDT! On a hiatus rn, will be back Monday, Dec. 20th!! Sorry for such a long hiatus that I keep extending!! It’s been stressful!

A/N: ahhhh it’s here ( ´ ▽ ` ) I hope you guys are ready, I also hope I’m ready! This is my first time doing something like this so I hope it goes smoothly and you join me for the ride!
So I saw this tiktok come up on my fyp right? And bec my mind only goes into one direction, my brain went Shadow shadow shadow shadow
so have some late night ((11:50 pm)) HCs of Shadow being an embarrassing himbo boyf and his shy artsy S/O
So Hiromi isn’t exactly like a ”golden retriever“ type himbo, he has red/orange hair for crying out loud, but he would definitely embarrass you, even at the cost of his own like. What’s the word. The word I’m looking for. Dignity maybe. Anyway he’d embarrass himself to embarrass you (affectionate)
like show off at S (especially when he wins a beef, never let him win a beef when youre there oh my god), get you flowers whenever he can, visit you when he’s in the area delivering flowers and making a huge show at your workplace (your coworkers think you two are very cute) all just to see that adorable little blush when you try to hide your smiles
He‘s especially gushy whenever you make something
literally anything it really does not matter
he will praise your smallest doodles, scribbles, paintings, sculptures, digital models, music, poems, everything.
But if you draw him or write about him, he will die.
like that’s it you guys are getting married at his funeral because oh my god he thinks it’s so good
it doesn’t matter your skill level he will love it and you regardless
bc no one has ever done anything like that for him before and he’s so fucking gushy about it it’s adorable
if you include his favorite flowers or maybe the flowers he based his moves on, thats even more just. Hiromi heart eyes
he just thinks your craft is beautiful and amazing like his S/O
if you give him what you made he will show it off to his friends, like he does not give a shit what they think he wants to show off
just a big old ‘haha my S/O is so great look at what they made me’
cherry and Langa probably don’t say much but they think it’s neat
Joe probably wants you to make him something and Hiromi just gets super cute and pouty like no this is my super talented S/O get your own
and Joe will go up to Cherry saying bls and Cherry just bonks him with his fan
Miya probably tells you it sucks and that youre a slime but he actually thinks it’s kinda cool that you did that! maybe if you’re doing something like it at S when you’re waiting for a beef to finish, he’ll (not so subtly) sit by you and watch you do it
if it‘s a drawing, Reki wants you to show him how you draw and what techniques you use, he wants your art secrets in case he can use them too, if it’s something else he might still ask about it because while it might not be something he knows much about, he’s still interested in creative things!
Still doing mobile things and still getting the hang of writing for Shadow, if you liked it then reblogs are appreciated :) have a good day/night
prompt: "why the hell is there glitter everywhere?"
plot: the sk8 family trying to throw shadow a birthday party but hiromi forgot his own birthday
Thanks sm for the request!!! I hope you like it :) sorry if the ending was rushed, but it’s 4 months late 😓
warnings: none! Unless glitter counts
~~~
HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY HIROMI!!
Throwing a surprise party couldn’t be that hard, right?
Wrong.
Even with the brain power of a child, two seventeen year olds, an Italian chef, and a calligrapher (who is really just hogging all the brain cells), they were still only able to make the building look a little less than mediocre.
“C’mon, it's the old man’s 25th birthday! We gotta keep going!” Reki said. He was about to fall from putting up streamers in the tallest possible corner of Joe’s restaurant, before Langa steadied the stool he was on.
“Reki, this place is the best it’s probably gonna get.” Joe came out of the kitchen with a badly iced cake, “come tell me what to write on here,”
“Just write ‘you’ve aged.’ that’ll be funny,” Miya didn’t look up from his game, but he did give a little mischievous grin at his suggestion.
“I am not writing ‘you’ve aged.’ that would be weird.”
“Then just add ‘well’ and a smiley face.” Reki said.
“‘Well, smiley face, you’ve aged? That doesn’t sound nice-”
Cherry was tired from their shenanigans all day, “Just write Happy Birthday, you damn gorilla,” and as he turned, he actually saw the cake. “Do you even know how to ice a cake?” he didn’t wait for an answer as he brought it back into the kitchen to fix the horrid decoration job. Hopefully it tasted better than it looked, Cherry had his work cut out for him.
With that, Joe figured they should probably finish up the final touches on everything, and Miya, Reki, and Langa were left in the restaurant with no adult supervision. Worst idea yet, the three of them were already up to trouble. Reki still thought the space could use more pizazz, as he knows Shadow is no simple man. Reki took a cup of glitter and started trying to find somewhere to put it, maybe on the tables? Yeah, that sounded good. He grabbed a pinch and sprinkled it over the plastic tablecloths, for some variety. He didn’t notice, but Langa was sneaking up behind him to get some glitter. By the time Reki figured it out, it was too late, and it was already everywhere.
“Dude! I just washed this hoodie!” Reki said with a smile. He laughed as he threw some glitter as a revenge attack, not noticing that Miya was right behind Langa.
As the first speck of glitter hit the console, Miya was up and throwing glitter back at his assailants. Reki ducked behind a booth, hopefully he'd be safe here. Alas, a face full of green and purple glitter hit him, very on brand. Reki got his own red ammo, and released it onto the catboy.
“What is going on here?” Oh noooo, mom’s back. They halted their war in fear of the pink haired man. “I can’t deal with this right now- Go visit the flower shop and tell his manager she needs to keep him busy. I need to sweep up this mess.” Without a word, the three boys marched single file out the door, sent on their mission.
They weren’t very subtle. Miya, Reki, and Langa went to try to tell Shadow’s- Uh, Higa’s Manager about his surprise birthday. While he was working. They didn’t plan out Cherry’s request that well.
Oh no, Higa came out of the break room, and Mrs manager went downstairs to work on a pick up order. He stopped in his tracks, seeing the devil’s dandruff all over the ground.
“Why the hell is there glitter everywhere.”
The three boys look down and they all start talking over each other, though none saying the truth. Higa was not having it, the more they panicked, the more it fell from their hair and clothes.
“No- you know what I don’t care, get out,” Higa started pushing the boys out the door, not without (very sparkly) protest. He just got done sweeping the main floor, and now these hooligans left a snail trail of unicorn barf that he’d have to clean up before more customers came in. It was a busy day too, Higa could barely have the time to think. He woke up, came to work, and has been busting his behind all day! He didn’t even remember his birthday, it was that bad. The days leading up to today hadn’t been easier either, what with everyone wanting bouquets for some reason.
By the time Reki, Miya, and Langa had gotten back to the restaurant, with an incomplete mission by the way, Oka had been called to help clean up the rest of the glitter while Cherry had to go back to the cake. Oka gave Reki the broom and dustpan he was using, sighing as he walked away to make sure other things were in order.
“What were you guys thinking, roughhousing so close to the start of the party,” Oka was getting ready to pick up Higa, unaware that the boys never got to tell the manager to keep him there. Reki was busy sweeping, Langa taking out trash bags, so Miya had to run after him out the door.
“Ah, wait! He might be home, I don’t- uh, we didn’t get to tell the manager to have him stay at work. I don’t know.” Oka nodded at the new information, and Miya dashed back in after a fallen streamer.
Oka figured he had nothing to lose if he checked the shop first, so he started there. Luckily, Shadow was just leaving. Oka ripped off his helmet and jogged to the locked door to wait for him to come out. He soon heard the door chime and he rose to meet Shadow.
“Oka, I uh- what are you doing here?” Shadow was confused, so Oka vaguely gestured to the moped and held out a helmet.
“We’ve got a surprise for you,” Shadow was still confused as he took the helmet. They rode back to the restaurant, and as the ride continued, Shadow was just more perplexed. He didn’t know why they were at the building, this was getting weirder. He heard hushed voices inside, and saw the lights turn off. Oka pushed open the door, and out popped his friends. Everyone had a little party hat on- now including him, and then he remembered.
“Oh shit, you guys remembered?” He wasn’t used to this… he can’t recall any time in his- now 25 years of life, that anyone had ever done anything like this. Despite the chaos earlier, there were purple, green, orange, and pink streamers and ribbons. Very familiar bouquets adorned the tables, surrounded by a more tasteful amount of glitter that he deemed acceptable. Cherry came out with the cake, already lit with what looked like a million candles, which started the songs.
By the time the candles were blown out, Higa was nearly crying. He could say without a doubt this was the best birthday he’s ever had, while they celebrated long into the night.
