… just wanted to pop in here with another sweet thought though:

(And this scenario only applies if the producers decide to stop killing the good characters)

Donna hosting a dinner (given colony house, I’m sure she’d be the one to host) with the rest of the survivors (main characters only for reasons of space) to see how’s life been treating them and Jade shows up with his pregnant wife (who somehow believed everything). Just imagine him standing in the doorway as he holds her hand, everyone’s eyes going from him to her round belly and back. And at some point during a quite moment with just himself, his wife and Kenny he asks for permission to name his unborn daughter after his mom (sth like Tiana or Tia or sth like that)

No, I’m not sniffling, just my allergies 😭😭😭

Thank you, anon!

I reckon those dinners would be monthly - always at Donna's, because she likes to host and also lives in the intersection of everyone else's places.

Jade is ALWAYS there - annoying everyone, teasing Jim, giving Ethan new projects, teaching Victor how to play the violin.

A year or so passes, before he appears with a guest.

His beloved girlfriend of a bunch of months, who has seen the way his eyes glass over, has woken up more than once with his screaming, dried his tears when it got too much.

The one who believed him.

It's not a surprise when he gets engaged - Tabby helped him pick a ring, Julie gaped at the prices (and maybe he got Julie a pretty ring too, just because. She deserves nice things.).

Everyone attends the wedding as well - Victor plays Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the violin (the only piece he learned), and Boyd is the one to officiate the ceremony.

No one expects Jade to be a father, he never actually said he wanted that, but a few months of marriage bliss, you notice your feet swelling and your period going bye-bye.

Tabby is the one you call - your mom was still a little baffled that you chose to marry a guy a decade older, so you don't trust her too much on this matter.

Tabby is the one to drive you to the doctor to get a blood test - you don't trust pharmacy ones -, and when it comes out positive, she hugs you, even going as far as staying with you until Jade comes back home.

She waits outside.

And she hears a scream, before barreling in, only to find Jade twirling you around, eyes wide and smiling like a fool.

"I'm gonna be a dad!"

It's all settled. On the next communal dinner, Fatima brings in a cake she baked for you, and you all celebrate it along with Kristi and Mari's wedding anniversary.

A few months later, Jade pulls you to a corner, where Kenny was previously talking to Boyd. He's alone now, blinking as your husband gapes like a fish.

Finally, you sigh, softly taking Kenny's hand in yours.

"It's a girl." You smile, having found that out a few days ago. "Jade and I have talked about names, and we want to honor your mom."

You look at your belly, round and soft.

"It's Tiana. Tiana Herrera." Jade says, looking up at Kenny.

You can see his eyes water, and he sighs shakily, squeezing your hand. Jade's own eyes water, and he brings you two into a group hug.

"It's perfect." Kenny exhales, nodding his head. "Perfect. Thank you."

Guess who little Tiana's godfather is?

Request: "Very politely asking what my chances are of getting a Jade Herrera x reader with an age gap… them already being a couple when they arrive in the town.. just what that would be like🫶🏻"

Rating: M, because it's Fromville. Nothing explicit, tho

Warnings: spoilers for season 1, age gap (Jade is in his early forties, reader is mid/late twenties), canon compliant violence, fluff?, s1 Jade being a menace, blood mentions, death mentions.

Jade is naturally protective, even if he doesnt show it well - e.g. literally telling you not to die, instead of asking you to be safe

When he started dating you, he dialed it up a notch - holding your hand to cross the street, making sure you're in the opposite side of traffic when walking on the curb and he's glued to your side, even sipping/tasting your food or drink to see if it's safe 🤡

Jade is the youngest child by 6 years, conceived to fix her parent's marriage. It clearly didn't work but she felt the tension her entire life. That's why she thinks her father hates her, because he's the one who left. When in reality he left because he was starting to hate the person he became when around her mother, but he never cut contact with Jade. Only cutting the contact with her mother. Her brother moved out and across the country as soon as he turned 18 and she hasn't heard from him since.

Being old enough to know what was happening during the divorce, Jade thinks her father didn't fight for her, but he did. Her mother threatened to take her away permanently if he didn't do as she said. Not willing to strain his relationship with his daughter as he did his son, he agreed to financial support if he got to have her every other week.

Her mother is an entitled bitch who thinks that Jade is her meal ticket. So her father gave her a credit card that she was told to never tell her mother about.

Jade also dated Beck simply to piss off daddy.

When her father actually came to her show, it was a big deal that he said he loved it. She'd never felt more seen, but she would never tell anyone. This day was the moment she really started seeing Tori as a friend.

HOW ABOUT SOME HCs?!

HOW THEY CUDDLE~

🔥 Hanzo is a full-body CUDDLE MACHINE. Big spoon, little spoon, it doesn't matter to him, he just likes to be close to you.

🔥 In the winter, it's like having your own personal heater, but in the summer, it's a little unbearable at times. Hanzo will pout if you shove him away.

🔥 Hanzo has a lot of nightmares since his time in the Netherrealm; at times he is inconsolable until you take him in your arms and give him reassurance.

🔥 Hanzo is impossible to wake in the morning, and he will fight you tooth and nail over getting out of bed.

"Just...five more minutes. Come on, I'm the Grandmaster."

❄ Kuai likes his space- he also knows that he is literally cold to the touch, which isn't always favorable.

❄ That's not to say that Kuai doesn't ever cuddle! He's just sort of low-key about it. An arm slung over your shoulder here, a forehead touch there.

❄ Kuai is not one to admit when he's tired, so you might find yourself locked in the arms of a snoring grandmaster. Smack him awake and he will irritably say "I wasn't sleeping. I was merely resting my eyes."

❄ After an especially dangerous encounter for you or for him, he will hold you like his life depends on it, mumbling little praises into the nape of your neck and tell you how important you are to him.

"I could have lost you- I will never let that happen again. Never."

🍡 Jade is a very intimate person, and this translates to her physical touch as well. Expect lots of small tracing of your features and little compliments being showered over you.

🍡 Hair play QUEEN. Jade will run her fingers through your hair constantly while cuddling, and will even do it until you fall asleep.

🍡 Absolutely will not let you go if the two of you have been separated for a long period of time.

🍡 Is the master of sneaking out from under you to go make breakfast or get a glass of water.

⚡ Raiden is a god, and unlike his brother, he has not meddled much in human affairs. The first time you snuggle up next to him and rest your head on his shoulder, he's a little confused.

"Are you feeling unwell? Would you like to lie down?"

⚡ It takes some time to explain to him that physical touch and affection are important to you- but once he gets it, he goes all out.

⚡ May or may not consult Fujin for cuddle techniques, and of course the windy brother gladly obliges.

"And they...like this feeling of being smothered by a loved one?" "Quite a lot!"

~ Appearance ~ A lean and fit Doberman who stands a little over three feet tall, Jade has a somewhat short muzzle with a triangular nose, somewhat long, pointed ears that stand upright (the right ear has a chunk missing from it), and a small, stubby tail.

Her fur is primarily popstar in color, with a parrot pink inner ears, facial markings, muzzle, chest, stomach, forearms, and feet. Her hair, which is tied back in a high ponytail, is Persian plum in color, and her eyes are pale silver in color.

Her outfit consists of a black tank top with ocean boat blue trim, black track shorts with ocean boat blue trim, ocean boat blue fingerless gloves with studded black cuffs, and black and ocean boat blue boots with white cuffs, as well as a black studded choker collar and two silver studs in her left ear. ~ Personality ~ A cocky and aggressive woman, Jade has a lot of faith in her abilities as an Extreme Gearist, and gladly rises to any challenge put in her way. She is quite stubborn, and definitely does not give up easily; however, she does not like to lose, and will typically become cranky and sullen if she happens to lose to someone, unless they manage to somehow earn her respect.

Jade is not above taunting people during a race or fight, and isn't above resorting to underhanded tactics in order to win. She will play especially dirty against someone if she feels that they deserve it, and has a sort of "eye for an eye" mentality.

~ Abilities ~ As Jade is quite physically fit, she is quite a bit stronger than she looks; while she has no actual fighting style, she is scrappy, and definitely knows how to throw a punch or kick. Being a canine, she has strong jaws and sharp teeth, and can deliver a nasty bite. She also has a superb sense of smell, and is quite fast on her feet.

Jade has a lot of experience as an Extreme Gearist, and has competed in her fair share of races. Her Extreme Gear, the Houndstooth, is black and pink in color, and bears the insignia of a snarling dog's head on the top of it.
