Can I get an assortment of the Dano characters you write for with a s/o that loves to garden? Or a s/o that enjoys painting/sketching them? (I wanted to send you a request but I'm so bad at requests EEK SORRY!)
Gardening with Paul Dano Characters
Featuring: Louis Ives, Jay, Eli Sunday, Hank Thompson
T33TH HI!! I loved your idea and I think it's a cute prompt for the warmer months!! Tbh I just used this to write some of my favs + get some practice in writing some characters I barely written for! <33
Eli Sunday
- I think he would help you create a garden, whether for extra money or just for you to enjoy
- Don't exactly rely on him to do a lot of hard work though
- Sure Eli will provide the supplies and everything you need throughout the day
- but after you're done planting, he would want you to pray with him for a bountiful garden, for rain to come and bless your crops, and then that's it
- Would go on about how "we're" making great things together and how it's wonderful that you both are giving back to God's Earth
- Even though all he didn't do anything and you had to cater to the garden throughout the entire season
- Don't bring it up he'll deny it
Hank Thompson
- Hank just loves watching you garden
- He doesn't know a thing about gardening, he doesn't understand how you keep everything alive, but he is so enamored by it all
- I think he likes gifting you random seeds and house plants he thought you'd like
- Okay okay hear me out: Hank would totally love crafting those native wildflower seed bombs that are made out of mud and stuff
- He loves getting messy!! He loves spending time with you and playing with mud!!
- While it's not a traditional way of gardening, I think it could be fun night out if you and Hank went around throwing the seed packed balls into people's lawns and random patches of grass
- Then a couple weeks later, you two can go on a walk and admire your work!!
Jay
- He's so adamant about gardening, he has the greenest thumb out of the bunch
- Jay is sweet he probably has matching sunhats for the both of you
- All of his food comes from his own vegetable garden and he's so so proud of what you both accomplished together
- Even if there's wonky looking and small veggies, it happens sometimes and it doesn't deter Jay
- And if you love planting various flowers and plants? Oh he's just as in love!
- While it may not be your intention, he loves what you're doing for the local pollinators <33
- If you two had your own home I could guarantee that it just looks like a giant greenhouse. House plants everywhere.
Louis Ives
- Oh she admires your hobby so much!!
- She thinks about starting a garden of her own, planting strawberries or keeping a few succulents around all the time
- But honestly she just doesn't have a whole lot of time, so she just sticks to reading a whole bunch around it
- Yeah she's the kind of girl to think too much about flowers and it's meanings and she gives you them to show her love
- Please let her garden with you, teach her the basics of rooting and how to fence off wild animals and insects please she is begging
- Fun dates at the nursery !! Her being amazed at all the different kinds of plants and it's just an afternoon of ooo-ing and awe-ing
- Once she grows something and it blooms/ripens, she's so excited! She's sending you pictures asking if she did it right and immediately wants to gift them to you!
Summary: After passing out on a mission, Jay is left in worry
Warnings: Passing out due to not eating, kinda hurt/comfort, Jay is a big ol softy, first time writing for Okja!! Love this film <3
Also, two fics in one night? Y’all are spoiled, enjoy <3
Jay should’ve seen the signs earlier.
The way you shook, your eyes tired and face gaunt. You insisted you were fine whenever anyone asked or offered food, smiling as you tried convincing yourself that your reasoning was for a good cause. You, much like Silver, often went on strikes of hunger. Your love and dedication towards the planet, for it’s beautiful creatures, it wasn’t something you ever took lightly.
Many times in your activism, Jay would have to be a gentle but firm voice that if you can’t take care of yourself than who will take care of the animals? He was good at reminding you to eat, even if it was a small amount of fruits. Jay carter for you, as he did all living things. But perhaps, he cared for you more…
More than he led on. Anyone could see it, the way he treated you. His nurturing ways went towards every single person he came across, but with you it’s like he tried to outdo himself with acts of kindness.
Just for you.
Seeing you in such a vulnerable place, your body teetering from side to side as you waited for your signal, was like torture to Jay. All he felt was worry.
He knew you were fully capable of taking care of yourself, you were by far one of the strongest people he had ever met. Working with you was an absolute pleasure, your dedication was admirable. However, that didn’t mean it didn’t annoy Jay at certain times.
Like now, as he watched you stumble upon getting your clearing to move towards your task. Seeing the way you wobbled like a toddler just learning to walk, how you clutched your stomach in hunger, all Jay wanted was for this mission to be over.
It was a simple one, thank the high heavens, you and all the others had done what you needed successfully and were on your way out. You walked alongside Jay - well more like stumbled - the tall man congratulating the group on their hard work today.
You smiled gratefully at him, proud of yourself and your team. The truck came into view and you sighed to yourself in relief, feeling exhausted and ready for some much needed rest. You couldn’t help the tired and heavy feeling that filtered throughout your body.
Everyone was talking amongst themselves, but in the haze you felt it all came out… muffled. A hand rested gently on your back, Jays… His face was close very close to yours but blurry. You could see his mouth moving, the worry in his eyes. That’s when it all went dark, the last thing you could register were strong arms wrapping themself around your weak body.
It was a while before you finally came too, the room quiet and empty. So you thought, as your eyes tried to adjust to the light. Your head pounded, much like it had earlier, but a little less. Everything else felt like you were moving in jelly, achy and slow.
You groaned as your tried to sit yourself up, all your bones felt heavy. It wasn’t until warm, gentle hands helped ease you up that you realized you were very much not alone. Without even having to look, you could tell exactly who it was. Jay.
“Easy, there.” Jay spoke softly, as he stepped back once you were in a more comfortable position. You didn’t want to look up at him, worried you’d find him staring down at you in an upset manner. After all, you had passed out whilst narrowly being finished with a mission. If it had been any sooner, you could have risked the whole thing. You could be kicked out…
Jay noticed the way you were avoiding his eyes, he saw the look on your face. You looked guilty, perhaps even ashamed. Gently, he sat next to you on the bed. His right hand was placed on top of yours, his thumb rubbing gently as his left hand met with your chin and lifted it up so you could finally look at him.
He opened his mouth to speak, but you cut him off. “I’m sorry,” you squeaked, cutting to the chase. “I’m sorry I almost screwed up the mission, I should’ve been more careful. I was thoughtless, I could have ruined today and-“ you were cut off by Jay pulling you into a hug and shushing you. “It’s okay,” he spoke, as his hands gently petted your hair.
When he pulled back from the hug, he wore a sweet and genuine smile. “It’s okay, y/n. You didn’t mess up anything, only gave us a scare is all.” He said the last part in a firmer tone than he had started, giving you a cautious look. You bowed your head, “I’m sorry.” You mumbled, “You just have to be careful, y/n.” Jay said, “and take care of yourself.” You tried to feign a look of confusion, but Jay wasn’t gonna take it.
“I know you haven’t been eating enough again, y/n.” “What, no-“ you tried to start but he cut you off. “Don’t say you haven’t been, I know it’s true.” You looked down once more, ashamed and embarrassed. “Y/n, I admire your dedication I truly do. And a part of me understands why you do what you do, but in the end how are you going to make a difference if you’re not able to be a hundred percent in it? You have to take care of yourself, y/n. Otherwise, I won’t have a choice but to put you on the sidelines. Got it?”
He was firm, but gentle. He cared about you and wanted you to put your best self forward. You looked up at him again, nodding. “Okay,” you said. Jay had a small smile on his face, bringing you into another hug. “Where are the others?” you mumbled into his shoulder. “Out getting you food for you,” he replied.
“Somebody had to stay behind and watch over you, I refused to leave your side. I was worried,” Jay admitted the last part a bit bashfully. You leaned away from his embrace, to get a look at his face. It was filled with a mix of emotions, sorry still clearly evident in those eyes. So was a blush on his cheeks.
“You were?” you asked, you knew your boss was a good and caring person but you never imagined he’d be so torn up over you. “Of course I was, y/n. Seeing you like that made my heart stop, I was frozen with fear. The sight of you like that and the thought of never getting you back… it was terrible.” Jay’s voice wavered, and guilt ate away at you.
“I’m sorry,” you apologized once more and leaned into him again. He held you gently against his chest, arms wrapping around you like a shield. “It’s okay,” he hummed. “Just don’t do it anymore, alright? I need you to be safe, on and off the field. I cant afford to lose you…” You nodded against his chest, listening to the sound of his heart. “I promise.”
I have a tendency to get out of character and just have cheesy/sappy romance >>
- He's very open about his affiliation with ALF and doesn't mind if you were to join the cause
- Though it's a serious test of putting his emotions aside during missions; you both were made aware of how severe it can get, but he sometimes can't help but worry
- But if being on the more active front ends up becoming too much for you, he has no issue with switching your position into something more passive; like a getaway driver or temporary medic
- Jay loves giving you petnames, ranging from a classic dear or darling, to something more out there like birdie
- I can see him being a romantic at heart, always taking the little alone time you two have together and making it last forever
- He love language is acts of service, he'll just do small tasks for you without even mentioning it to you
- He just cares that he sees you relieved and happy <33
- While Jay usually cooks for you and you both spend some downtime together, there are moments where you two go out
- A dream date would definitely be taking him to one of those cat cafes sponsored by local no-kill shelters
- Jay definitely has a soft spot for older cats; as they approach him, he will devote all of his attention to the elderly felines
- Dates like these involve getting a lot of pictures; they're perfect when Jay doesn't know you're taking them
- He does the same to you though don't worry
- I can see him not being entirely clingy, but he loves cuddling and having you in his arms
- Never gonna get ready in the morning because of him; he just wants to talk to you and check up on you before the day starts
- Jay loves sneaking kisses throughout the day
- Good morning? Kiss. Good luck before a mission? Kiss. You tied his tie for him? Kiss. You're just existing? He loves you so much
Jay with plus size gn!reader? There is such a lack in jay fanfic lol
Jay x Plus Size! Reader Headcanons
I love him sm, definitely gonna have to write for him more <33
- He's literally such a breath of fresh air in the sense that he doesn't mind your body, but he's also consistently appreciative of it
- Not in a "oh the body is a plus" way either, it's more that he just fell in love with you as a whole, not so much the personality or the body, y'know?? He's just so normal about it, it's never either or with him
- Jay is a very assured man, knowing what he wants and he wants all of you
- He loves holding you
- Whether it's tracing your palm before interlocking his slender fingers within your slightly chubby ones
- Or if it's just hugging you behind, feeling how soft you are against him
- Jay goes full malewife for you shdbsk
- His main love language is acts of service; he enjoys working hard to make you happy
- He definitely loves to make you all of your favorite meals dhdbsj
- Doesn't matter how stressful your day's been, you deserve to be treated well
- Kind of guy to kiss all the parts of you he loves if you're having an off day
- Plot twist: he loves everything about you <33
- He's also very protective of you
- If anyone were to make any negative or disgusting remarks concerning your body, his anger issues will get to the better of him
- You have to be present to help hold him back </3
- But no matter how upset he is at the disrespect, if you tell him to ignore it, he'll keep to himself
- Opting for muttering about how awful some people in the world can be instead </3
So this is a really random request lol, but could u do relationship headcanons for Jay from Okja with a reader who loves cats? Kinda like Catwoman 😂 idk I think that dynamics cute 🐱❤️
Jay with a Reader Who Loves Cats
this is reminding me of a convo I had with a friend about Jay having a collection of old cats he's rescued <33 I love it def going to inspire Reader's role in this
- Anyone who's a friend to animals is a friend to Jay !!
- But Jay can be very hesitant when it comes to owners with a lot of pets, it's very easy for it to get to hoarding territory
- As he gets to know you however, a weight is lifted off of his shoulders and he is confident in your care
- He has so much respect to those who help out animals locally and on a smaller scale compared to an operation like ALF
- And you housing and rescuing strays and cats from kill shelters? You have his and ALF's heart
- You're a solid ally to their cause, always getting calls from Jay if it's possible if you have room in your place for any rescues
- And ofc you say yes
- Jay refuses to admit it, but whenever his teammates become to much for him and he's in town, he's always at your place
- The cats always swarm to him like a magnet
- Especially all the elderly cats, his presence is so calm and warm to them omg
- While he visits he also makes sure you take care of yourself
- Your task is no easy feat and Jay believes in an equal balance between animal health and human well-being
- Even moreso on the human side if your health is really at risk
- If he finds you passed out on the couch, his first instinct is to give you a blanket and making sure you're comfortable (while minding all the cats cuddled up to you)
- When Jay stays, he's never there in the morning
- But you'll always wake up to a freshly made breakfast wrapped up on the counter and a "thank you" note on your nightstand
