The bearded one is too old and blowing cigar smoke in your face.

The big guy in the mask nearly makes you piss yourself, also has a staring problem.

The scot with the blue eyes like a haunted Victorian child is too handsy and off putting.

All of them have your brain screaming *DANGER*...

Until the one with the sweet, blindingly white smile apologizes about them and offers to pay your tab because they're being right assholes...

And you don't know your mistake until he's pounding your ass away to oblivion an hour later and prying your jaw apart to spit in your mouth. You didn't realize he was just as bad as them until you're crying from overstimulation so bad you don't even try to stop him from snapping pictures and videos for his mates from the pub as he purrs at you in that *sweet, sweet* voice "poor little slag."

This is so funny to me because this is very much how I would see the 141 men.

All of them are beautiful, but I would have strong opinions about them initially:

How are you?

I don't know if you've seen the bts pics of the last two eps but I would loooove to hear your opinion on this

On top of this, Buck seems to be wearing a button up with vertical stripes...

Do you think the brown-ish color means anything?

Would love to hear your thoughts on all of this 😊

Ty!!!!!!!

I am good thanks - recovering from being at and presenting at a conference and therefore not being able to watch 7x08 live (not an experience I want to repeat - I felt so left out having to avoid spoilers!!)

I have indeed seen the bts and you’ll be delighted to know I am literally as we speak in the middle of writing a meta on this very costume!!!

I’ve gone on a bit of a deep dive into Buck and brown and thought I’d update my buck in vertical stripes theory as well!!

Also side eyeing Eddie in his will reveal get up - so that’s getting a look in too!!!

Thanks so much for the compliment! I am glad you like it!!!!

THIS IDEA SO SO FREAKING CUTE! I CANT TAKE IT! AHHHH! NOW I NEED TO WRITE A LITTLE BIT TO BRING THIS IDEA TO LIFE!

I hope you like it!

“Okay. Do you guys remember what I told you?” Prompto asked the three nicely dressed kids in front of him. 

All three kids nodded up at the older man. Prompto took a moment to fix them up a little before Noctis’ big speech.

Nikolas had on a suit, similar to his father’s kingly raiment just shrunk down and with his unruly hair combed and slicked back out of his face. Both Neveah and Malena had on the same style dress; ruffled sleeves that lead down to a bow at the waist and poofy below the waist. They had their hair in the same style as well, curled and down with a matching headband to keep it out of their faces.

“Okay then. Let’s go get a good spot then.” He said, leading the three kids out into the ballroom where the speech was taking place. Noctis had been practicing on his speech for what seemed like weeks now and it was Prompto’s duty to make sure all went well with the kids. Obviously, Noct’s first choice for watching the kids was Ignis but both Gladio and Ignis had to be on stage next to him. So either it was Prompto or one of the Citadel staff and Prompto offered up to watch them before Noct would even ask a member of the staff.

Prompto and the kids stood off to the side of the crowd, so once the speech was over, all of them could join up easily. Nikolas stood in front of Prompto while the girls stood on either side of Prompto. The crowd a grew around the stage and soon there was a quiet ringing from a glass to signify the start of the speech.

Noct stood up from his spot on stage and approached the podium, looking down at Prompto - who gave him a quick thumbs up. Nikolas smiled as well, giving his dad a little encouragement. Soon after Noctis stood up, Gladio and Ignis took their spots next to him while Clarus took his spot next to Regis.

Both of the girl’s eyes lit up as they saw their parents on the stage. Nikolas caught a glimpse of it but didn’t think much of it. Ignis was always strict on them (as well as him) so Nikolas figured they could behave enough to be trusted to stand without someone holding their hands. But once they saw both of them make their way to the front, both girls took off running.

“Mal! Nay!” Nikolas called out, but not loud enough for people to know. He tried to catch them but they were quick. Prompto noticed about a half a second later. “Shit! Stay here Nikky.” he muttered as he tried to run after him.

“Daddy!” One twin called out.

“Pop!” the other followed as they ran closer to the stage.

Ignis heard them first, quickly turning his head to see them running toward the stage. He saw Prompto trying to run after them but it had seemed the girls were a bit faster than him. He quickly nudged Gladio towards the situation and gave him a concerned look. Gladio eyes bludged a little as he saw them running but there was no way he could leave his post to stop them. Noctis had already started the speech and both men weren’t sure what to do to keep the twins from charging up the stage. They just hoped Prompto would catch them in time.

“Oh no no no no no! Come back please!” Prompto called out as the girls as the stairs off to the sides of the stage. “Neveah! Malena!” he whined, but the girls weren’t stopping. Prompto made it all the way to the stairs and tried to grab at least one of them but they slid from his grip.

They ran up the stage and the sound of little footsteps caught Gladio’s attention first, making him chuckle. One girl ran right into Gladio’s legs and the other to Ignis’, hugging them tightly.

“Daddy and Pop did a good job!” both girls said with a big smile on their face. The audience “awwed” and laughed at the situation. Both Ignis and Gladio turned a little read in the face, quickly trying to convince the girls to go back to Prompto. Gladio bent over and put Malena on his hip and Ignis bent down to get to Neveah’s level. 

“You know Pop and I are working. You two were supposed to stay with your uncle.” Ignis said, trying not to be too loud. 

“But…but…” Malena started, her pout getting a little deeper.

“We wanted to come up and stay with daddy and you…” Neveah said, tugging on Ignis’ suit jacket. “We just wanted to say hi…” she said in a sad tone.

“Yeah and say we love you.” Malena added. Ignis and Gladio sighed deeply, knowing they couldn’t get mad at them for a reason like that.

“Seems like we got a couple of visitors.” Noctis joked over the mic. The guest chuckled and Ignis quickly picked up Neveah and stood up. He cleared his throat before speaking.

“Our apologies. Our girls are still young and have yet to learn what it means when mum and dad are on duty. I hope you excuse the interruption.” he said in his politest of tones, holding her tightly on his hip.

Prompto was at the front of the stage, sighing heavily. He looked up at Noct and gave him a sad look. “I’m sorry…They just went running and I couldn’t stop them.” Prompto confessed. 

Noctis chuckled and shook his head. “It’s fine Prompto. Why don’t you and Nikolas join me up here? This is a family affair right?”

Prompto gave him a warm smile and motioned for Nikolas to join them onstage. Prompto stood next to Noctis and Nikolas stood in front of him, smiling softly at the crowd. Gladio and Ignis kept the girls on their hips the entire time, gently laughing when the girls decided to hug their necks a little tighter or give them a kiss on the cheek. Noctis looked over to Regis, who was smiling softly from his spot and gave him a gentle nod to continue.

TF141 Flirting Styles According to Katt

I had to stew on this one for a while. I feel like every one of the guys could go a more direct or indirect approach so I had to decide what direction I wanted to go for each of them. Just my personal headcannons though.

Edit: This post ended up sooo long, so I broke it into several posts.

Let's himself relax at home. Goes to kids games and plays with the littles most. Your older kids getting into their teens and happy to see him but getting more independent. And so when his oldest daughter begs him *not to go to her football match* he's horrified and promptly shows up regardless. He wants to see his girl play his favorite sport, dammit...

He comes home depressed because the girls on her team asked her who the old, homeless, fisherman was.

Or...

Titling this: Husband wears the same holy 3 shirts and nasty work jeans all the time and refuses to buy new ones... inspired by my own husband.

YES! This is the kind of John content I LIVE for!!

You can't tell me though that John wouldn't be so bummed about what the girls had said. But I don't think John's daughter would pretend not to know him. She may have some of that teenage embarrassment, but will fully own that he's her dad.

If she's anything like her mother, she would be so proud of him and all he does for them, even if he looks like an old, homeless fisherman.

Especially your dad and my mom, Yada Yada

I raise you, being a new recruit on base and youve been given said advice and take it. Basic goes smooth and so on. And then you get assigned to train (as a division, company, etc.) with 141 and due to the crush you have on (any of them) and you put in 200% effort.

Not to get notice, but out of embarrassment (I totally would).

Doing stupid shit to avoid attention because you just straight up dont want to embarrass yourself and then the team is getting congrats for the rise in marks and it puts you at center attention like -

It's funny to me because every mentor I've ever had in college said the same thing about my career field. "Don't take the extra trainings, don't volunteer for committee, don't put more on your shoulders just haul the mail and protect your peace" kinda thing.

I could imagine being an 80% person. You never give it your all, you do just enough to be 'good'. Then when you develop this crush on (insert 141 member here), you do all this extra stuff to avoid them because you know you'll embarrass yourself. As you said, doing 200%. Just wanting to die the entire time but it's better than making a fool of yourself. The guys benefitting off your extra work.

What would be a real kick in the pants would be if they knew you did this stuff to avoid them, they're riding your success, and they're watching you the whole time. Splitting duties to peep at you and report back to the group on how you're doing. Maybe confronting you at some point to expose your efforts to be ignored have backfired in multiple ways, and they offer to repay the favor (this could be suggestive or literally helping you with tasks).
