9. what's one bad habit that was hard for you to give up?

full-time employment *ba dum tss*

7. what's one thing you're interested in that most people who know you might not know?

honestly good question because if i fw something && i fw you then there's a 99% chance that i'm going to make it your problem. what if i say glee

14. who is a person, or a group of people, you feel like you understand now better than you used to?

his face is buried into corduroy, palm pressed to muscle. he's switched salves for something better tasting, something honey gold. @pontevoix sits with their one hand holding old leather, the other entangled into something oak like, finger twirling curls into hair.

he's using to watching armin read, the sight is quite familiar actually. there were nights in the barracks where he'd read carefully by lamplight or outside beside the crackling fire. he reads the words like they're something holy, scripted poetry of the mundane. these books were gifted from marley and he's learned they have their own fairytales of devils and gods, of devotion.

he listens to rough skin against paper, the work of just his thumb. armin's well managed with handling books and those who wish to hear their stories. this is become a habit like mouth to bottle.

“ i've been taking you for granted. ” the words slip with ease, like an easy admission. he comes too often and it's as if armin expects it now, seeking the familiarity in not being alone. the meeting's end and so do any appointments after, jean's become quite comfortable in the spot at his side. he waits for requests or more, much like a dog of the military would. he is their commander of peace now.

send me  ‘ hc ‘  + a word and i’ll write a headcanon about it regarding my character.

ino's showy with his pride. not in an overexaggerated way, but you'll definitely know. he tends to be very prideful in all his accomplishments because it means a lot to him. he's worked hard for what he's done and he's still working hard to achieve even more. his pride is heavily reflected in his own self-esteem. he takes more pride in his work the happier he is. granted he doesn't always need recognition for accomplishments but it really does help him take pride in himself. especially if he looks up to the person giving him praise or whatever.

now his pride can be damaged in a number of ways. insulting his work or intelligence is one of them. he has never thought of himself as the smartest, but what he does know makes him okay with that. he loves to show off all he knows to underclassmen, the younger sorcerers, etc so to insult him or try to talk over him in that way really dampens his pride and consequently his self-esteem.

send me hc + a word / phrase and i'll turn it into a headcanon ! / accepting

“  this is insane,  ”  semi laughs dryly. it’s less a comment about how incongruous he feels in his ill-fitting, too-long salaryman suit when compared to ushijima’s impressive athletic build and well-fitted team jersey, and more about how absurd it is that a mutual friend in france could have the kind of influence that would get him to reconnect with an old classmate who has far exceeded him in terms of success.

if it was the first case, he’d probably follow up with something like, “i haven’t seen you in ages, so i guess it’s natural that you’ve changed a lot. you look really good!” but since it’s not—— since it’s the second case—— he instead huffs in a tone of mild disbelief,  “  that bastard, tendo…. ”

he doesn’t even live in tokyo, let alone japan, and the guy is already pulling puppet strings through cyberspace to get his high school teammates to go to dinner together and catch up. honestly, semi is impressed. he probably should have offered sooner, but hesitated because he felt that going pro meant you left high school behind, and even if he asked ushijima probably wouldn’t agree. and yet, a few texts from tendo to ushijima, and a few hundred from him to semi—— since it’s much harder to convince a stubborn, crabby person—— and he’s made the seemingly impossible possible.
