Normalize guys that are best friends, who have been through a lot in their friendship and got even closer, cuddling and kissing each other platonically because that's fucking rad.
Same for lady best friends too. Kiss your friends. Cuddle with them. Tell them you love them. Life is too short to be that straight.
Another day another slay reminder that platonic friendships are as good as romantic relationships. At the end of the day, you just need someone who loves you and sticks with you. It can be a friend, or a lover. <33
Summary: Ace and Deuce wants to know why MC disappears for a few days every month.
Pairings: Ace X Reader, Deuce X Reader —> (pairings could be seen as platonic or romantic)
Ace and Deuce were very suspicious.
MC was acting weird. Not that, that wasn’t the pot calling the kettle black.
They noticed MC would disappear for a few days every month.
MC would leave Grim with them, much to Grim’s dismay.
They also noticed before she disappeared, she would nervously talk to Professor Crewel and he would give her a small box.
“What if she and Professor Crew--!!!”
“Shut up Deuce! There’s no way!”
When they asked her about it, she would never tell them.
She was resilient.
They tried. They tried so hard to make her tell them. Grim couldn’t find out and he lived with her. It was to the point that she threatened telling Riddle on them and leaving Grim with no tuna.
Ace and Deuce gave up.
Or so it seemed.
The three in one brain cell trio were ready next month.
After MC left Grim with them, they waited a few hours.
Then to the Ramshackle Dorm they went.
It was oddly quiet.
No sound could be heard and most of the lights were off.
Except for a faint glimmer where MC’s room was located.
“But what if-?”
“Shut it Deuce!”
Ace used his magic to open the door.
Deuce and Grim followed him in.
….then they heard it.
It was faint but there.
Sobbing.
MC was crying.
The three panicked and ran.
“MC!!!” They broke into her room.
Their hearts broke.
MC looked up in shock. Her face had tear stains and she was hugging a pillow to her. Several other items lay around her: hot water bottles, candy bars, blankets, just to name a few.
“MC, Why are you crying?!?! Whose bone do I break??!!” Deuce seemed to have reverted back to his old ways. Grim ran to her and hugged her. Ace just observed the scene.
“What are you guys doing here???”
“Forget about that, minion! Why are you crying?!!”
“Deuce and Grim, go reheat her soup and warm up her water bottle.”
“But-”
“Now.” With the way Ace looked at them, they readily did as they were told.
After the door closed, Ace went to MC and wrapped her tightly with her blankets.
“A-a-ce…” MC was trembling.
“Stupid MC, why did you suffer alone?”
Ace sat next to her and pulled her close by her shoulders.
MC silently cried.
Deuce and Grim returned after a few minutes.
Deuce was a bit red in the face and seemed to realize what was going on. He hesitantly sat next to MC and handed her the hot water bottle. “Here you are MC.”
MC took it with shaking hands. Deuce’s heart broke even more and hugged her. “I’m sorry MC.”
“Hey! What is going on?! Why is MC crying?!”
“We’ll tell you later Grim, just be quiet.”
Ace looked around the room and noticed the package Professor Crewel gave her. “MC, when can you take the next dose?”
MC looked up from where she had nestled her head in Deuce’s shoulder. “In an hour.”
Ace nodded. He took the bowl of soup from Grim’s paws and turned to MC. He scooped a spoonful and carefully lifted it to her face. “You need to eat.”
MC shook her head and buried further into her hug with Deuce. Deuce patted her head and looked at Ace, helplessly.
“You have to eat.” Ace repeated. “Please.”
MC looked at him in shock. Ace never said ‘please.’
It showed how worried he was that he had to resort to that.
Grim was frozen.
Deuce nodded his head along and gave MC his best puppy dog eyes. “Please.”
“Okay.”
MC sipped the soup as Ace held it up to her again.
After handling all she could, MC just laid her head on Deuce’s shoulder. Ace left to get a glass of water, so MC could take her medication.
Grim had chosen to bully the pillow out of her arms so he could lay on her lap and purr.
Ace returned. MC took her medication.
MC’s boys cuddled her while she slowly dazed away into slumber.
Well this has been a while since Larries were attacked by outsiders.
This was tweeted yesterday by a Larrie with 1.5k followers. The tweet didn't do huge numbers. It was just this tweet.
Out of nowhere comes Lizzo with her 2.1 million followers and not only does she QRT said tweet (screenshot above), but she does a 2nd tweet where she asks to be left out of 'our' conspiracies.
Why is Lizzo so deep in the fandom that she sees those tweets? Again: she has 2.1million followers. The person who tweeted didn't follow her.
Why blast it like that in a QRT? Why that tweet? I can't imagine the hate someone like Lizzo gets, why single out that tweet?
Why add another tweet about CoNsPirAcIes? What's the use? Why do this? The thing to blast? As a friend of H?
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 2015/2016. Next thing you know we'll get Lou in front of a camera waving an iPhone
Alright y'all, I gotta confess. There's a friendship/romantic trope out there that I LOVE and is not seen as much as I would like to. And that's the grumpy goth/emo with the big o' cinnamon roll duo!
Otherwise known as "Human Iceberg Melted by The Human Ball of Sunshine"
Here are some great examples I've found of this trope:
Aang and Zuko
Keith and Hunk
Raven and Cyborg
Bonus Trio: Tohru, Hana, and Uo
Hannah and Millie from 'Dumplin''
And of course everyone's favorite power couple, April and Andy
Bonus points when the Ball of Sunshine Cinnamon Roll hugs the Emo Iceberg, and the grump is 100% on board for this sweetheart's hugs!!!!
This dynamic is just so wholesome and I will always be 100% on board for it when it is healthy and good for both characters.
