breathed the bittersweet | learner tien/alex michelsen

“I just always thought—“ Alex began, then looked away. “Never mind.” Alex, older, taller, stronger in some ways but much weaker in others. Alex, I always thought it’d be me. Well, Learner thought, he could forgive that. No one in this sport was selfless.

i’m procrastinating at work so here is my zeev headcanon. in my mind zeev is the resident bratty bisexual fairy godmother who feeds off of chaos and cute boys. he’s a seguin variant, flirts with everything not for any specific purpose, but more to just see what would happen and what narratives he can create and control. he’s everyone’s first gay kiss but he only kisses them so he can send them off on their own journey. there are no power dynamics with him, he is the power dynamic. power bottom, power top, he will be whatever is needed as long as the result is a mess that he can play with.

list of men he’s kissed in no particular order:

-will (has kissed multiple times, his go to boy kisser, kisses him for fun and chaos, was in training to be a zeev but met mack)

- leno (he watched willzeev kiss as a “”forfeit”” and immediately felt threatened. by who? four nooners and two boys kissed later he still doesn’t know)

-gabe (fwb, secretly doing zeevs bidding between will and leno so zeev has playthings for when he visits, is getting zeevs help bagging mrempe in return)

-voter (he’s always there and always down, would be fwb but not bitchy enough for zeev)

-mack (too cute not to kiss, mack actually kissed him first by not pulling away from the 80th air kiss at the draft, also- will)

-leno again (zeev mentioned his kiss was worse than mack’s and uh why did will react like that?????)

-hagens (approached zeev thinking kissing him would help line chem at bc, it didn’t)

-rick c (zeev was bored and wanted a challenge, not the first dad he’s kissed but the only one he thinks about again and again)

-mack once more (zeev mentioned off hand that leno is trying to beat out mack, will sits smug knowing they’re fighting for second place, zeev tries not to think about the celebrini who actually has 1st)

-tzjh (who do you think taught him everything he knows? and yes. both were there.)

-bedsy (did more than kiss. can confirm the civic is tricked out, zeev now has a thing for chains)

-mack again (cuteness aggression bc mack tried to be intimidating and possessive of will, zeevs dick did NOT kick when mack flushed petal pink after and giggled, leno apparently needed another drink but his beer is still full???? but why are the four of them together? oh yeah, zeev scheduled “training” at mack’s place )

-willmackleno- he got them drunk, told them they all suck at kissing and left the three of them locked in a utility closet at the bar to “practice” and oh nooooooo there’s no one home except zeev and rick and oh nooooooo looks like zeev needs some conditioning…we should take advantage of the time we have…...better get his number in case zeev needs help during the season……..

wow. Wow. where to start. when is our wedding.. u get it

i agree one thousand percent. i love the idea that will was in training “to be a zeev” bc like YESSS they both love having ppl love them and being obsessed w them it’s like Their Thing… and they met each other like Wow ur Just Like Me!!!! they Will do everything in their power to keep their Guys in line (thinking abt them) but are Soooo willing to share w only each other bc. Obv. i think zeev is Much more out in the open abt it tho… constantly reminding mack how he’s never won anything… (in ur ideas) keeping leno hanging on his every word abt will or mack bc he Knows how weird and obsessive he is over will and by proxy, mack!! (and then vice versa for mack as well!!!!)

i’d like to say that i don’t know tzjd like At All but i’ll go with it! (or tyler seguin but i respect him if he’s the way u say he is ie flirting w anything that moves)

in the same realm of keeping ppl obsessed w him… having gabe do zeev’s willleno bidding while he’s away… mhm mhm exactly exactly… gabe waiting zeev’s direction on what to do all the time bc he too is hung up on the #benefits bc zeev is #likethat i just know it

hagens not being previously warned by leno abt zeev is this only slightly not believable thing abt him kissing zeev and his reasons for doing so which i find very funny

rick… 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

the mackleno of it all that u have created and shown to me is beautiful and i thank u for it 🙏 also So Real zeev the cuteness aggression… unreal. insane. too much to handle so i do in fact get it

BEDSY…. WOW my brain is fried i’m going to be turning this over in my mind forever now i think thank you so much WOW wow. wow. the chain. YES THANK YOU. zeev already knew it was a thing but never was interested in it Enough to do anything abt it w will or leno… but bedsy is just #different

thank u zeev for doing gods work and forcing willmackleno to figure their shit out bc lord knows they’re not doing it themselves and sure u Can fuck that old man as ur reward! god bless!

Imagine if Momo had Twice’s backstory.

Imagine if she hadn’t been born into wealth, if she had a working class family. She still has her absolutely amazing quirk, but it’s not like she could use it to make anything she and her family wanted because quirk use is illegal. Hell, maybe she can’t even use her quirk to its full potential because eating the amount that would allow her to have excess fat cells to practice making things is too expensive for the family.

Imagine if Momo’s parents suddenly died, and she was left all alone in the world, only just a middle schooler. No relatives, no guardians. To survive, she had to quit school and go work; and this job is her entire livelihood, it’s all she has - it provided boarding and food and pay. Then one day, that’s alllll gone due to an accident and an unfair boss. She’s thrown out into the streets, and now spends nights under a bridge with a trash can bonfire. She’s only 16 years old.

She’s a really good kid. She’s so kind and gentle at heart. But life is so hard. It’s lonely and cold and she has no one to trust except for herself. All the things she wants is out of reach— actually, even basic necessities are out of reach. It’s frustrating; hurts, even. She just wants a break from the bad luck; she just wants some comfort. Experience the carefreeness and fun any other teenager her age gets, like any other 16-year-old girl.

Most of all, though, Momo wants to feel like she has some control and power. She doesn’t want to feel so insecure and weak, so lacking in self-confidence and anxious. She wants feel better than that, wants to be more than what she is - a homeless orphan - and she can be. If she use her quirk.

It’s too easy of a choice. She can have everything she wants by making it herself! Clothes and a cellphone and counterfeit money, even. Oh, but here’s the catch - it turns out she can’t. Her quirk requires her to know the atomic configuration of the object she wants to produce. That’s…molecules, right? Molecular structure? Knowing about elements? Knowing the exact raw materials things are made from, knowing how a cellphone works, what with the electromagnetic waves and CPU and batteries…

Momo hasn’t been in a science class for years. Hasn’t been to school since she was 14, nor had she catch up with things on her own time, too busy working or surviving the streets. She’s a real smart gal, but lacking things like a teacher’s guidance and encouragement, textbooks and education, just plain resources and support - that hinders her a lot.

Plus, with the little food she’s able to get (because, again, she’s homeless and completely broke), she’s all skin and bones and no fat to make anything big or complex.

Turning to Villainy wasn’t at all her goal, but one thing keeps leading to another. So she illegally used her quirk. So she tried to sell little trinkets she made for some money, and so that was illegal too. So it started to be a bit of con work, making counterfeit items that would bring in more cash. So that caught the attention of some cops and then she’s on the run. So she’s using her quirk to evade them, to protect herself, to commit more and more questionable activities. So she ends up on a top wanted list because her quirk was seen as too powerful, too dangerous, too much of a threat to a society that just doesn’t trust her with it, doesn’t trust her to know what she’s doing, doesn’t trust her to be a good person. Never has, and never will. And they will never help her either, now.

So what? She just wanted to survive; and maybe do better than just survive. Have fun, have comforts, have means, have confidence, have opportunities, have what she was denied. Have people to trust, have friends, have a family and home again.

Momo just wanted to live, and she deserves that, doesn’t she? Born unlucky, but she could still make something of herself, even with limited choices.

And that’s how she became a Villain.

And that’s how Twice became a Villain.

The Danish monarchy in the 18th century: we will make hospitals for those of our people who cannot pay for treatment for their diseases, whole being careful not to cause harm or interfere in their private lives.

The British monarchy: we will make hospitals for our military personnel, but on the condition that their bodies now belong to us and we can experiment on them with wild abandon. You have the flux?
