#BUT TY MAYA. HAD FUN WITH THIS ONE :]

[ahhfear]

MY FINISHED ADOLIN COSPLAY FROM LAST YEAR!!

the leafy chain is to represent maya, in this picture it’s hard to see anyone but sureblood but i also had a galant charm and a sword maya charm. and of course my wedding ring.

these last two are mostly silly, i think it’s important you know w bought horse socks for this cosplay. and the last picture is of me proposing to a lovely shallan cosplayer with a ring pop. it was a very fun time

[IDs copied in alt text: 5 photos, IDs in order from right to left, top to bottom.

first ID: a photo of a cosplayer dressed as Adolin, shown from the thighs up. The photo was taken in a park, with trees and dappled sunlight in the background. The cosplayer is slim with pale skin and their curly hair in black and gold stripes has been pulled back in a low ponytail with curly bangs hanging over their forehead. They wear a modified Kholin uniform in shades of blue. They wear a medium blue, puffy sleeved shirt with tight cuffs, a darker blue vest with gold detailing, and navy blue pants. The vest has been sewn and altered extensively. It has gold trim along the edges. There’s a vibrant panel in the centre of the front, attached with two rows of gold buttons, and the Kholin glyphpair is embroidered along the panel in gold. There is a gold chain attached to the bottom two buttons on the vest, lined with green leaf charms, and a chain on the right side has an iridescent white horse charm. They are wearing jewellery as befitting a prince - necklaces, pins, and a ring. One necklace is a gold chain with coin-shaped charms hanging from it, and the other necklace has a shiny pendant. The pins are attached to the vest, both gold, both over the heart. One is circular with a blue gem in the centre, and the other has a pointed flower shape with a white gem. They stand confidently, their left hand resting on the hilt of the sheathed sword on their belt. That hand wears a gold ring with a diamond in the centre. In a final touch they also wear dashing gold sword earrings.

second ID: a further zoomed out picture of the same adolin cosplayer in the same pose, this time with a more neutral expression. their whole body is in frame and the background is not blurred. their shoes are brown heeled boots the same color at the belt hilt for the sword. one foot is up on a small ledge

third ID: the same cosplayer, pose and framing as the first picture. the only difference being they have a huge grin on their face, as if they were just told a very funny joke.

fourth ID: a photo taken in a different place, indoors, pointed down at the ground, showing a pair of feet in light blue socks covered in horses and their legs, as well as a hand wearing a gold ring with a diamond in the middle.

Fifth ID: a photo back in the park. the adolin cosplayer is on one knee in front of a shallan cosplayer, who has red ginger hair, a green long sleeved dress white pants, dark brown boots, a white glove and a brown bag. they are both holding a green ring pop that the adolin cosplayer is holding up. they are both smiling at each other. the adolin cosplayer has a blue ribbon tying their ponytail and the chain with the white horse also has a gold sword and a black horse, but the black horse is unclear against their dark pants.

thank you to @cosmereplay for helping write the first ID and edit the others.

INFO ABOUT MY BVZ OC JESSIE

(any art that isn't mine will be credited, if there is no tag or mention, then the art was made by me!)

Official character sheet! - @orbit805 TY POOKSTER RAHHHHHHHHH

(image on the right is text added by me, DW I'll retype it below)

Story Below

- Jessie grew up working in a circus with her twin sister, Marie. The place was pretty popular, but the circus put none of their funds towards the health of the loyal performers. They were abusive, but manipulated them into believing they weren't. When Jessie and Marie were around the age of 7, Marie caught a deadly disease due to the horrible conditions her and Jessie were forced to live in, sentencing her a life of bedridden misery for the little time she had left. Not long after Marie died was when Jessie realized the full extent of the abuse she and others were put through. She ran away, not looking back.

- In her process of making an escape, she was quickly discovered. The company would rather see her suffer gruesomely then let her escape the cycle of abuse they put her through. When she was found, both her arms and legs were shot off. All she remembers is passing out, and waking up in a small, quiet, cold room. When she strength had returned, she realized the modifications she had been given, new limbs. So, without questioning things too much, she did her best to get used to her new wonky limbs and stumbled around until she found an exit. She didn't have time to find whoever helped her.

- After that, she came across a junk yard, which she then made a home of her own there. There she discovered her love for tinkering and building. Along the way, she would meet two unexpected allies. A robot assassin, turned from foe to friend, and a humanoid droid, unwillingly to speak of himself, but very willing to aid her in anything she may ask.

Story End

Fun Facts!

- here's a not very fun and long fact: Why she needed her neck replaced isn't something I'll go into detail with. Not long after she met Marie and Ann. Some people (cough cough Mafia) weren't very happy with who she had with her, and in short, wanted to get rid of Jessie, so they would have no safe place any longer. Jessie was originally dead, but due to Karmor's power screwing up events, Jessie never died. According to Marie and Ann, a mysterious figure had approached them, and offered their help. They claimed to be a wizard from Manas, but that's all the details they gave. Not longer after that, Jessie had woken up, with a new neck, but very much alive

- She's made models for what a more humanoid version of Ann could look like, but even soon, Ann still refuses, they preferred to stick to their original form, no matter how restrictive, it's what they're used too.

- Jessie is a horrible cook. Thankfully she's the only human among her group, if she wasn't, the other two would be dead from food poisoning - because of this, Marie often brings back food for her after his jobs

- She likes to tease everybody, but sometimes she takes it a tad bit too far

- She's a very curious person, and will learn about anything or anyone that interests her

- She's a loud person, but will go quiet if you ask her about her past

- She's a fan of sweet-spicy foods (especially chicken)

- Her arms/legs could probably stretch all the way through Maya

- With how discreet she can be, sometimes she ends up seeming like a threat or foe to others, but really she's just curious. She has no ill will towards anybody, not even the ones who hurt her most

- She gets very giddy around people she looks up too

(cough cough @solzticesoulz Wildfire mentioned)

- A song I believe is fitting for her (voice wise and some of the lyrics)

BvZ Canon characters + OC interaction

- She's heard of Devlin's work, even bought a couple of his weapons one time, just to dissect them out of curiosity (and for a temporary replacement if Marie ever broke/lost a gun he used, which isn't likely)

- She's asked Marie and Ann to keep a look out for Karmor - she doesn't know anything about him, but she has a feeling about him that's making her curious

- She's probably never interacted with Albus. The only sorta way I could picture them meeting is if Albus teleported off to fuck who knows, ended up in the old junkyard Jessie used to call her home, and she just happened to be there at the same time

- She would only talk to Hipswitch for job purposes, since he doesn't particularly interest her. But if she wanted someone taken out, she would ask Marie to do it. She would probably only ask Hipswitch so she could get Ann to stalk him and Karmor to get more intell

- Mahatma and Atilla's situation does interest her. For the case of actual medical needs, that would probably never happen.

HEY!! what're your fav cadina fanfics? and do you have any suggestions for new fanfic writers 😭

omg okay so i saw this morning while i was at work and knew this had to wait until i got home to get my FULL attention and then i had to stay at work late so here we go!!! this is LONG so i put it all under the cut!

cadina fic recs (first, some ones from my friends, and then many others i heavily recommend, in no particular order):

Get in, Loser! We're going... to fall in love? - SUPER cute slow burn made by the incredible amazing talented stunning 16Sydd16. Genuinely one of my favorite Cadina fics of all time.

ANYTHING by the Cadina Captain herself, Chisamaya. Maya's been holding down the Cadina fort for YEARS and has 13 INCREDIBLE Cadina fics on her AO3. She's also on Tumblr @chisamayas and posts super cute fanart of Mean Girls and Cadina all the time! My personal favorite fic of hers is Collared (very smutty pet play fic) and I will live and die a Collared stan.

can i come and sweep you off your feet? - super adorable (and angsty at some points, especially for poor regina) fame AU by my very talented friend ninesixtheenths / @girlkisser-wieners on Tumblr! i absolutely also recommend her rugby fic, which is rejanis but is 10/10.

(mean girls) series by anonymous - this is from another friend of mine who posts these anonymously instead of tying them to her account. there are SO MANY good ones in here (12 at time of writing this) including a soulmates au, a superhero au, and some GREAT character studies of both regina and cady. there are a few rejanis fics in this series too but they're all phenomenal.

okay onto fics that aren't from my friends but i heavily recommend, in no particular order:

Mirror Me Back - okay i know i said no particular order but this one's a lie. if you haven't read MMB yet, stop what you're doing and read it right now. it's very smut heavy, however, this is genuinely the fic that got me into writing for this fandom and it is one of the best fics i've ever read across any fandom. every day i perform rituals for an update /j

On Predators and Pack Dynamics - omegaverse fic that is genuinely incredible. obviously very smut heavy but i love the characterization of them here and i also often pray for updates on this one.

if i could tell her (how she's everything to me) - role reversal & arts high school AU from 2020 where cady is the popular one and regina is a little socially awkward. very cute, very sweet, very fun.

Pretty Girls - mean girls 2024 rewrite where cady and regina were anonymous pen pals before cady moved to evanston. really loved this one!! one of the first i read in the tag.

To You, I Can Admit That I'm Just Too Soft for All of It - grad school au that i absolutely LOVE. the chapters are unordered snippets but they are so cute and fun. the author also does some social media stuff with it, i believe on tumblr, so it's a cute little tie in!!

you would find her in a polaroid picture - SUPER good college au!! genuinely recommend anything this author writes tbh i adore their stuff!!

i choose you and me, religiously - once again recommending anything this author writes as well. SO talented. this one is a slow burn idiots in love au and it's just. chef's kiss. muah. i love it.

to answer the other part of your question, about the writing advice, my genuine main piece of advice is to just keep writing. even if it's stuff you don't intend to publish, or a half-baked idea. write drabbles for yourself and just let the words get on the page. i used to publish in a different fandom circa 2017-2019 and hadn't published in YEARS until i started writing a thousand pictures (well, really, don't look for me, but ya know, this all REALLY took off with a thousand pictures). despite the fact that i haven't published in a very long time i never really stopped writing. my google drive is full of folders of assorted drabbles of self indulgent bullshit. snippets from other fandoms, self insert scenarios, some original ideas that with a lot more cooking, could potentially be novel worthy one day. (i am a LONG ways off from that though lol)

my point is, publishing fic can be daunting. even writing coherent or long enough fic to make a cohesive story can be daunting at first. it's better to write for yourself and get the practice of writing even just singular or small series of scenes if you aren't ready for a full fic yet. writing should be fun! make sure you're having fun doing it and trying not to stress the details too much!

if you have any other questions about writing please feel free to ask!! i love talking about my process and stuff and am always willing to share gjsnkgng

Hi! I love seeing all your farmers' different adventures and romances, and the way you comment on different things in the game - character specific, plot stuff, setting and art, and even bugs and glitches lol.

I was wondering whether you have some sort of, like, masterpost or directory page listing each of your farmers? I know you have quite a few and between breaks from tumblr, my own huge pile of OCs, and all the other CI OCs on here, sometimes I lose track of which names/tags to check on your blog when I get back to things after a while, y'know?

If you don't have one and aren't interested in making something like that, all good!! I don't expect you to go out of your way and do anything like that omg, I just thought if maybe you had one and I missed seeing a link somewhere, or if you've got a page for personal ref that you've been umm-ing and ahh-ing about sharing, then uh HI there is at least 1 person who would love to see and utilise it!

Ty for your time, hope the coming weekend treats you kindly! I look forward to watching more of your and your farmers' stories unfold on my dash! :)

!!!!! You have No idea how much this ask means to me thank you so much!!! The utter DELIGHT I am experiencing rn is insane!!

It's literally never occurred to me to make so much as a personal ref, and I probably won't for another for years, but for now I do have some lil tidbits I can give you. And some motivation to eventually get everything in my head onto the screen!

The Main Guys you need to know are Morimiya and Maya. They're the farmers I've played the longest, so they have a lot of lore, personality, and the most tags! I even bothered drawing them, so you know they're a big deal!

Other than those two, I kind of have a rotating cast of Farmers. Some stick, some don't.

The guys you do not need to know about because I deleted them are Hestia and Tanya. Their tags still linger, but I won't remember much about them if asked and I don't think there are any queued posts for them left.

I have 2 farmers who are on hiatus: Clementine and Matteo. Clementine will return once we get a full mermaid update I think.

Matteo is a farmer I tried to run like my sims blog, but I very quickly quit having fun with it. Idk if he'll be back, but you can definitely go through his tag for a little story!

Then there are my up-and-coming farmers who will probably get a lot of screentime on this blog: Juniper & Selene.

Juniper is my crazy lil guy, and Selene is really just the lucky farmer that Stuck.

Then there's my absolute darling who has not received a single post: Tokori.

If you want to absolutely make my day, send me any kind of ask about Tokori! He was my very first farmer, back in Coral Island's earliest days, waaay before this blog's days. So he didn't survive the Big Update, and I never even got screenshots of playing with him.

May your weekend be as full of joy as what you've brought me.

Finished AAI1……. 🫡 you know the drill….

Okay… I don’t even remember half this game which isn’t necessarily the games fault but the episodes were kinda disjointed which i know was probably to do the like. before and after effect.... so forgive me if I forget anything!!!!

-okay to start, Kay Faraday was sooooo cute... i really enjoyed her and i thought she was fun. There were times where she felt a bit more... one dimensional or staticy? but i think her interactions with miles and gumshoe made her so fun. i also loved seeing her as a babyyy shes a queen for kicking miles' ass sorry that was funny as fuck.

-DAMMMMMNNNN!!!!! DAMMMMMNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!! DAMNNN!!!!!

-okay im done... in all seriousness shout out to this being my second favorite reveal of the series so far... tying in the callisto yew being shih-na. that shit was so fucking good. i LOVEDDDD CALLISTO!!!! she was so good and her personality actually might be one of my favs of the game so far... i stand by my cancelled wife. and Badd..... he was great too i loved his mannerisms and the way he spoke... he was your stereotypical old detective and i loved the whole 'uncle badd' sorry faraday you died so soon but at least you were hot right i mean what. . . also sorry ill forever love the way Badd showed up here it was so good.

-okay sorry this is literally one of my top five scenes. idk. idk. something about it made me feel so.... AUGHHHH!!!!!!!! I fucking loved lang and callisto (??) so the betrayal he must of felt when he was such a guy that was big on trusting those around you... like damn. damn. sorry i wont let this go on for too long but i think lang is my fav character out of the game. he was funny and charming and i fucking loved when he came back to 'accuse' Franziska and the fact he calls her sis... like OOOH its good. AND LANG MY GUY YOU GOT SHOT... the franzy and lang parallels are parallelling in my head idk.

-the next person to make franziska scared like this is getting shot you CANT DO THIS TO MEEEE FRANZZZYYYYYY!!!!!!! THEY WERE so cute. i fucking loved little miles and franzy together i was genuinely obsessed with this whole episode... i loved loved seeing them as babies... the way franzy followed him around in this one vs the way he protected/stood up for her in the following episode when she got accused... like idk. i fucking loved it. i love them. im so excited for this next game to see more of them.....!!!! i can only hope we get a little more emotional depth with the two of them....

-okay uhhh oh yeah. miles thinking abt phoenix in his most desperate moments and what he would do... yeah you're tied by the red string of fate... also fuck this game for not saying his name out loud COME ON!!!! LMFAO. sorry i just miss him and maya so bad...

-oh! i loved seeing all the old cast come back, esp. meekins and LARRYYYYY!!! theyre funny.

-oh my god how could i forget miles special interest steel samurai and seeing it was larry beneath the mask thats so fucking funny sorry... also the fact that when he loses the samurai baby miles' first question was who would ever have a child with you LMFAOOO

oh yes... by far my favorite thing in this game.... i love miles' internal dialogue and little moments. it definitely gave him some depth and made him so much more enjoyable (not that he wasn't beforehand!!!) he was a lot of fun to look into and see how his mind worked. i grew a lot fonder of him and it was funny that nearly everyone had a chance to call him out or make fun of him at some point... hes a very emotional character (whether he admits that or not....) and i really enjoyed seeing that side of him from his own perspective :,)

-overall id give this game between a 7-8/10!!! i had fun for sure, but the pacing was a little rough esp towards the end... i think the first three episodes were like 7 hours and then the last two were like 18 combined!! it got a little tedious but it also had the best moments so idk how else they could've changed things LOL. definitely fun though.

-agent lang i love you

Since you're the most multi of multishippers I know (I actually love that - it makes your blog interesting and reflects a very open mind!), here's a ship ranking challenge for you involving a lot of the same people: Mola, Sola, Maya/Cam, Maya/Zig, Maya/Miles, Klare, Eclare, Alli/Dallas, Alli/Dave, Jazel, Jellie. I had like 50 other ships in mind but already forgot them because my memory is a disaster these days. Anyway, the challenge here is that no ties are allowed :) Have fun!

Omg ty! I’m honored to have that title! And wow this is even harder than your previous one!

1. Camaya (so pure and sweet)

2. Eclare (loves <3)

3. Bhandallas (I love them sm)

4. Bhandurner (they were so amazing together)

5. Sola (in my feelings are them)

6. Mola (so much chemistry)

7. Jazel (I’ve grown to like them even more. They could’ve have been the perfect endgame.)

8. Zaya (it’s complicated as you know haha)

9. Klare (they were a cute first love ship)

10. Jellie (If Hazel/Jazel wasn’t disrespected & Ellie actually liked Jimmy back, they’d be cute.)

The Anime Binge-Watcher’s Queer Anime Ship Tournament: Round 2 Results!

My god, I thought last round was intense. I can’t even describe how brutal the results were this time. So many nail-biting moments, so many shocking reversals, and we even had an outright tie in there! Not to mention the agony of my number one pick biting the dust in one of the most heartbreaking close shaves ever, but it’s fine, I’m fine. Here’s to another kickass round, and have fun checking out the highlights below the Keep Reading link as I set up round 3!

Most Voted Poll: There was a surprising uptick in voters in a lot of these matchups from the first round; Kawoshin vs Kumirei and SuleMio vs KuroMaya both racked up over 800 votes in their brutal contests. But far and away, with a staggering 1905 votes, the most popular poll was Hibimiku vs Victuuri. And folks, this one just about broke my heart. It’s one thing to lose in a blowout to an obvious favorite, but to run such a close race with such a tidal wave of support, vote after vote pouring in from all corners of the internet as two fandoms smash into each other full-force like the battle of Gondor, only to come just the tiniest bit short of snatching victory? Listen, this is y’all’s poll, and I’mma let you finish, but HIbiki and Miku had the single greatest romance of all time, you hear me? Of all time.

Least Voted Poll: But just as a lot of smaller polls suddenly shot up the voter counts, a lot of the more popular winners from last time took a heavy backseat this time. Madohomu and ToukoYuu’s high first round vote counts both slumped into the 200s range, and YukiTouya vs KobaTohru hit dead last with a measly 185 votes. The Dragon Maid girls went into the 400s range last time in their victory over NanoFate, but for whatever reason, very few of those fans returned to help them survive against the Cardcaptor Boys. I wonder why?

Biggest Blowout: Once again, UtenAnthy put out an incredibly dominant performance, trouncing RekiLanga 81% to 19%. But this time, it was actually Madohomu that took the biggest lead, destroying Adashima 85% to 15%. No surprises in either case, as they’re both huge legacy ships going up against far more recent and less popular offerings. Something tells me neither of them are done wreaking a trail of death and destruction just yet...

Closest Nail-Biter: My heart wants to put Hibimiku’s narrow loss against Victuuri here, as going 47.1% to 52.9% against the history makers themselves is an accomplishment to be proud of. But this time, we have the literal closest a race can possibly be: KaseYamada and AshEiji fully tying at 50% each! A genuinely impressive showing from both fandoms. Both ships will now advance to round 3 where they’ll face off in a three-way showdown with Madohomu. Pray for their souls, it’s going to be a bloodbath...

As for me, I once again ended up split 50/50 for wins and losses, with 4 of my picks advancing (including that one tie) and 4 falling short. But man, the loss of Hibimiku makes it seem so much more brutal. Oh well, more misery to come in round 3!

Full Results:

2-A: Adachi x Shimamura (15%) vs Madoka x Homura (85%), 294 votes

2-B: Kase x Yamada (50%) vs Ash x Eiji (50%), 316 votes

2-C: Suletta x Miorine (72.7%) vs Claudine x Maya (27.3%) 864 votes

2-D: Yukito x Touya (64.9%) vs Kobayashi x Tohru (35.1%), 185 votes

2-E: Shinji x Kaworu (69.2%) vs Kumiko x Reina (30.8%) 818 votes

2-F: Hibiki x Miku (47.1%) vs Victor x Yuuri (52.9%), 1905 votes

2-G: Touko x Yuu (74.1%) vs Cocona x Papika (25.9%) 223 votes

2-H: Reki x Langa (19%) vs Utena x Anthy (81%) 432 votes

[redrosydiaz]

1, 2, 3, 8, and of course... 11 for the ST ask game ♡

ahh blakeeee!!! ty for sending so many!!! 💕💕

(also omg i was almost entirely finished answering all of these and then i fAT FINGERED MY KEYBOARD and it deleted everything 😩 i tried my best to rewrite them as best as i could but damn. rip to anything that slipped through the cracks)

1. Favorite character and your favorite outfit of theirs?

ooh okay i think i have to go with steve harrington as my favorite character, because as much as i love eddie, steve has been IT for me since the beginning. steve has taken me on a whole journey, i have been right there with him since the beginning. i am ride or die for that bitch!! lkdfjsl.

and as for favorite outfit, ohhhh man that's tough. he's got a LOT of good ones!! but. if i had to choose one, it would probably be that cute little bubble vest fit he wears at the end of s3 when he and robin are bring their resume in to family video. it's just so cute and he looks so good in it, and also his hair with it is Thee Perfect Length for me, like i love steve with his hair long enough that it starts to curl at the ends. the whole Look is just too good.

(this one!! i couldn't find any good photos so this gif will have to do)

2. Favorite season of Stranger Things and your favorite scene in it?

this is another hard question because my answer totally depends on what exactly is meant by favorite lmao. like, if favorite means which season is the one that i love most and has captivated me the most then the answer would be season 1, because that one is just next level!! like, the vibes, the relationships, the mystery, the conflicts, the discoveries!! it's all so good and s1 does a FANTASTC job of setting up the whole show!! but then if we're looking at favorite as meaning which one did you have the most fun watching and enjoyed a lot then my answer would be season 3, because that season is just SO fun!! it's so vibrant and bright and it truly encapsulates summer so well!! not to mention it gives us scoops troop my BELOVED, and we see more of the relationship between steve and dustin my beloveds, AND there's more erica!! AND this season gives us ROBIN!!! AND ROBIN AND STEVE!!! so!!!! its a huge win and its a great season for those reasons!!

3. Favorite scene in the entire series?

i think this is probably going to be SUCH an obvious answer because it's probably the one everyone and their mother gives, but, i HAVE to go with robin's coming out scene. like, it's just one of the best coming out scenes i've ever seen. and that is ENTIRELY because of maya hawke. like god, her expressions throughout that whole scene? as steve describes the girl he likes and it becomes strikingly clear that he's talking about robin and robin is sitting there like how do i break it to him. god her face is just. SO REAL. and then when she says "steve" in that tiny whisper of a voice, and her eyelashes sort of flutter like she's trying not to cry and she gives him that LOOK. MY GOD ITS GOLDEN ITS SO FUCKING GOOD. im tearing up rn just thinking about it. and then steves reaction too!! his little oh, and the way he just immediately starts making fun of robin's taste in girls, just steadfastly accepting her and not making it into something huge and scary. just treating her like shes robin and not anybody or anything different. the way robin feels SO much relief and joy and safety there. god its just such a beautiful scene and so powerful too and i just love it so so much.

(i do HAVE to give a shoutout to the running up that hill scene at the end of dear billy because NO scene has EVER given me chills the way that one did. the way max's grief has been drowning her and the complete turning point this scene was for that. like this was the first moment that she chose to not let that grief win. she fought it and she fought it hard and she pulled herself out. she had help, of course, the memories of her friends, the ones she loves, but it was ultimately HER that saved herself in that scene. and godddd its SO powerful and its SO well done and just the way they used that son is INCREDIBLE and also sadie's acting in that scene is just PHENOMENAL, and then when it ends and max is in lucas' arm with dustin and steve surrounding her too and the soft instrumental version of running up that hill plays as the screen goes black. C H I L L S!!!!!!)

8. Favorite weapon/power?

another super basic answer probably but what can i say? my favorite weapon is 100% the nail bat. i mean, who wouldn't want a wicked baseball bat full of nails to swing at monsters?? i mean come on that is so badass. but ALSO i love that the bat has a little bit of all of the original monster hunting trio in it? like it's nancy's baseball bat, but jonathan is the one that put the nails in it and it was meant to be his weapon, but then steve claimed it as his own and used it and bam now it's his. i just love that symbolism!!!

11. Your opinion on Tommy Hagan?

HAHA I LOVE THAT YOU ASKED ME THIS ONE FKDDSFLKD (also the "of course" sdkfjdslf i am THAT transparent huh 😂)

nah but i fucking LOVE tommy hagan. he's just one of those characters that isn't necessarily given a firm backstory or anything, but there is juuuuuuust enough personality that it is SO easy to build your own backstory and mold it and him into something you want it to be — and boy oh BOY have i done that with tommy myself lmao.

but yeah it's like — the tommy we see, sure, he's an asshole, and yes, he says and does some really shitty things, BUT i don't think anything he's said and done has reached that level where it's like totally and completely irredeemable, yknow? like he's not so far gone that he can't turn himself around (hello!! steve did!! and sure, maybe steve is a kinder, nicer person at his core, but if he can do it, so can tommy, especially given that tommy idolized steve so much.)

there's just something to me that is so fascinating about taking a very simple one dimensional character and giving him layers. giving him three dimensions. putting him in scenarios and giving him motivations that explain WHY he is the way he is and HOW he got there and WHO influenced that? filling in those gaps makes him a MUCH richer character and in turn makes his interactions with the other characters SOOO much more interesting and layered.

like, i love to think that tommy is the middle child in a large family of all girls. he's got two older sisters and two younger sisters. i oscillate between liking to think that his parents are still together but overwhelmed with work and the girls and other responsibilities, or that theyre divorced so tommys grown up with a single mother in charge. either way, tommy ends up sort of forgotten, just a bit. there's not enough attention for him, which is why when STEVE gives him attention for the very first time, when he CHOOSES tommy for the first time, tommy is stuck on him for life.

their friendship grows and so do they and steve stays this constant through it all, and that means so much to tommy. i think that once girls start to show an interest in steve and once steve starts to show an interest back, tommy gets jealous, because that means that steves full attention isn't on him anymore. (and whether you look at it through a 'tommy has a crush on steve' lens or not it still applies either way ((though as im sure you're all aware i DO look at it through that lens LOL))).

carol joins their group, and either steve nudges tommy towards her or tommy nudges himself towards her because, well, if steves gonna get himself a girlfriend, so is tommy because he's not getting left behind. and he loves carol, he does, but also it's a lot more complicated than that (see the beginning of my latest fic, keep me on a rope, for more on The Complicated Relationship of Tommy Hagan and Carol Perkins because ohohoho boy do i have THOUGTS on that).

and then nancy wheeler happens and steve gets his heart broken AND his world rocked AND the biggest thump on his head of his life and suddenly he's not tommys best friend anymore. he's not even his friend. and that fucking HURTS tommy. because look at that? even STEVE left in the end. and so tommy lashes out. he gets meaner. he latches onto billy hargrove, but he doesn't give a shit about tommy. he puts up that protective shell so he can't get hurt again, and that means never letting anyone in again. that means settling for what he has, who he has. that means stewing in these hurt feelings and this awful grudge and the hatred for years and years until—

somewhere down the line (way waaaaaay down the line) tommy gets tired of it. he gets sick of being bitter and lonely and miserable. and he finally gets HIS thump on the head. he does some digging deeeeeeeep into himself and he does a lot of self reflection and he realizes that fuck. he's been an asshole. he's been a jerk. he's been a total dick. he's hurt people he loved, people who didn't deserve it. he's pushed them away. he's isolated himself. he's turned into this shell of what he could have been.

and so he starts to work on himself. starts to make amends.

or he doesn't. that's a possibility too. he can get stuck in his ways and he can live out a bitter lonely miserable life too!

but that's the thing about tommys character — he can be and do and say whatever you want!!!! and THAT is why i love him so much.

(plus, as i said it is just SOOOO fascinating to explore his relationship with steve and with carol because BOTH are SOOOO complicated and SOOOO layered and there is just SO much going on in that little brain and body of his that even HE can't sort through it all.)

So the plan didn’t go quite as it should have; to be fair, how was you and Kate supposed to know that the glass wasn’t quite so strong? When both of you came crashing down through the ceiling, Clint Barton had looked ready to kill you, but it seemed like the tracksuit gang was going to do that already.

As all three sat on old, rusty, mechanic ponies, you desperately tried to find a way to entertain yourself and/or escape. As you looked around, however, something caught your eye; up on the second level, there was a man sitting, watching the three of you. He looked much younger than the rest of the guys there, and he wore a brown coat over his red tracksuit. His gaze traveled and met yours, but neither of you looked away. For a few moments, you remained with your eyes locked on each other.

Until he blinked. Stifling a laugh, you smiled and looked away as he ducked his head. When you looked back, the handsome stranger was looking at you again, so naturally you winked at him. He seemed unsure of how to take it, his mouth opening in surprise slightly before he closed it, got up, and walked away.

———————————————————————

Talking with the higher up woman also didn’t go to plan; though it was surprising to you that not only was the strange man who accompanied her hot, she herself was gorgeous. But you remained professional, keeping track of the conversation as it slowly deteriorated.

You were ready when Clint made his great escape; unlike Kate, you were well trained in how to get out of captivity and secretly you had worked the duck tape off. As the rest of gang ran after Clint, you took on the handsome stranger that was left behind.

He whipped out his gun, but you kicked it out of your hand. Now that you were free, you realized his skills were not on par with his own, so you decided to have a little fun while Kate figured out how to escape.

“Aw, and here I was thinking we had something special.”

The man lunged for you and grabbed you by the shoulder, but you quickly twisted his arm around, forcing him to spin away from you and release his grip. He struggled against your hold, but you quickly ducked down and whispered in his ear.

“You’re adorable you know, playing hard to get.”

The man managed to slip out and got up onto his feet again, warily looking at you. “Well you seem to be quick to catch me.” He threw back with a hint of a smile.

You caught his fist as it came towards you, pulling it down and giving him a light kiss on the knuckles. “Well handsome, maybe you should ask me to dinner, hmm?”

His other hand swung around, but you managed to duck; the man did, however, grab onto your leg, making you fall. You grabbed onto his shoulders, pulling him down with you. You both collided into each other, landing on the ground with an ��oomph”. The man’s eyes flickered over your face, his slight smile reappearing.

“I’ll pick you up at 6 then.”

You didn’t have time to respond, Clint crashing out of the upstairs office with Maya close behind. An arrow shot by the former finally freed Kate, causing you and the man to get up and rush off. Just as you reached Kate, you looked back as the man went towards his boss. He did pause for one moment, throwing a glance back at you. He smiled, winked, then turned around to join the fray.

You and Kate rushed off to go help Clint, but your heart felt warm and fuzzy. Falling for the enemy was never a good idea, but maybe in another lifetime you two were meant to be.

Worst part of the "Damian needs to be humbled" narrative is that it could be done in an interesting way. But fans and writers alive seem to only look at it at one way.

For me at least, a potential good Damian Gets Humbled story would be about him learning how to appreciate the little things in life. Maybe him finding community in other people? We know that he believes he needs to prove to "someone" that he can handle everything himself but that's a fantasy, obviously.

Like just workshopping here, what if Damian wanted to make something with the vegetarian meal options at his school, so he runs for class president and actually wins cause he's a Wayne at the end of the day and despite what fanon thinks he's very good at networking. But he realizes he can't make everything by himself so he starts a Vegan/Vegetarian/Environmentalists conscience club at his school and he builts a community?

Obviously there are way more interesting ideas out there than this one but it would something neat, it would be new we don't see very often and it might be...fun? Not sure if DC knows that word....

sorry for the following negativity, i know you're not intending to be annoying, but if someone says "arcs with this concept are terrible" they don't really want to see someone just suggesting another arc with that concept.

And even with your suggestion, there still is actually no good "Damian gets humbled arc". it’s not a good arc for Damian. He can make friends in school without tying it into that.

Reason it is not a good arc for him:

this is sill ascribing flaws to him that he doesn't actually have. He has worked with people! Plenty of times! it's not like he needs to "learn he can't do everything by himself". he started a superhero team, albeit in a badly written book, because he had a threat he couldn't deal with alone, he worked with colin in pre new 52, maya and jon in post new 52.... learning other people can work with him isn't new for him. he likes to be *in charge*, and that works with him feeling like he has to be able to do everything himself, but... why should he not be in charge? Other characters have been in charge of peer groups as teenagers and it not been treated as a character flaw for them..

there can be a plotline of 'damian makes friends at school' without trying to tie it into the most annoying narrative possible

Niece & Nephew

Hayley Does Halloween  Hello could I please request one with Tyrone Mings where you’re taking your nephew and niece trick or treating and he’s just so good with them and it makes you want a child with him? ❤️ Tyrone Mings  Word Count: 1,013 “Who is ready for trick or treating my little babies?” you crouched down as you put Maya’s coat on over her Tinkerbell dress. “I don’t need coatttt” Max huffed. “It is very cold out, I don’t want you to catch a chill babe” you told him. 

“NO” Max groaned again as he stamped his feet. Tyrone intervened as you stepped aside. “It’s cold out buddy, I know you don’t want to wear a coat. But you need too, we can still see your costume. I know that is what you are worrying about. But people can still see your costume” Tyrone reassured him. 

Max nodded and reluctantly put his coat on. “Now let’s go and see what sweeties we can get. No eating on the walk though, we need to count them once we get home so we can see who the winner is” you smiled as Tyrone was really getting into it.  “Hold my hand Maya please” you asked her as she gripped your fingers as you shut the front door behind you. “Max, make sure you stay with Uncle Ty please” you smiled as Tyrone grinned.  Seeing Tyrone with children, especially your niece and nephew it filled you with such joy. He got on so well with him, they loved him probably more than they loved you. They wouldn’t like to admit it though, but you know they did.  You, Max, Maya and Tyrone were all busy knocking on people’s doors. Everyone was complimenting on the children’s costumes which they loved.  “Look at all the sweets, that lady gave us” Maya opened up her sweet bag. “Oh wow, you lucky little thing. It must be because you are cute” you teased her as you gently pinched her skin.  “They are having so much fun aren’t they” Tyrone mumbled as he held your hand. “They are” you smiled as you cosied up alongside him as they ran to get some more sweets from houses.  “Say please and thank you when they person gives it to you” you shouted as you watched them run to the door as you two waited behind them.  “Thank you so much�� the pair shouted as they ran down the small steps all excitedly. “I am so happy, look how many sweets we have. Mummy and Daddy are going to laugh at how much we got” you both smiled.  “They are, but we aren’t going to tell her how much we eat okay. She won’t be pleased with us, because you need dinner “ you told them both.  “We should get going now, its pretty cold and my toes feel like they are about to fall off” you laughed as you shivered as Tyrone cuddled you. “I think you have enough sweets, I won’t be having any of that pouting” you teased Max.  “Come on” you pulled Max’s arm as Maya was excitedly skipping all of the way back to her front door. “I wish we could see you all the time Uncle TyTy” you heard Max mumble as he held his hand tightly. “I wish I could too, but football is busy right now. I promise I will visit you both very soon” he smiled as you heard Max squeal with excitement.  You all got home. “Finally” you shouted as you flopped on the sofa as Maya and Max jumped on you. “Hey, hey. How are you so hyper. You haven’t had any sugar yet” you smirked as they jumped off of you.  “Let’s see who has the most sweets alright, tip them out into your piles and we will count them all” you smiled as you jumped off of the sofa.  “What do we get as a prize?” Max cheekily asked. “Ohhh hmm. I will have to think about that one” you laughed as Tyrone started counting Maya’s sweets. “Maya has 20 sweets and Max has 22. Max is the winner” Tyrone cheers as Max jumps and down on the spot hugging Tyrone as he lifted him up in the air.  The front door opened and in come Maya and Max’s parents. “Hello babies” they both shout as they run up to them all excited. “Ahh so many sweets. You are so lucky aren’t you” you smiled as you hugged them. “Thank you so so much for looking after them. I hope they had a good time trick or treating” You smiled. “They loved it, they were so good. I have a surprise for you” you opened up your bag and handed Max and Maya some presents. “I know Max you won how many sweets you had. But I got you some more sweets and a lot of goodies for you” you smiled as they cuddled you.  “I will see you soon. I love you both” you cuddled them as Tyrone gave them both a cuddle too. “I will miss you both, maybe you can both can come and see me play football soon. Would you like that?” he asked them as they both jumped up all pumped with joy.  You headed off back home after such an amazing day.  - “I have had such a good day today have you? But I am so tired” you yawned as you sat on the sofa. “I had a lovely day too babe” you cuddled up to him.  “You are so good with Maya and Max” you smiled up at him. “I love them, they are just so sweet. It is great to hang out with them” you nodded.  “I love seeing you with them, it you know made me feel something” you looked at him as you turned to him. “Oh?” he looked at you with a puzzled look on his face. “It makes me want to have a baby with you” you mumbled.  Tyrone’s eyes popped out of his eyes practically. “Oh really? I didn’t think you would” he asked you. “Well seeing you with them today has made me change. I want a baby with you Ty” you mumbled as he had the biggest smile appear on his face. “Yes I want one” he smiled.  Taglist: @footballffbarbiex​​ @evie-pr​​ @sanchos-dream​​ @meteora-fc​​ @mrsmctominay​​ @penguintransporter​​ @football-and-fanfics​ @footballdaydream​​ @hotyeehawman​ @trentski26​​ @footballxixstars​​​ @hazardybala​​ @yagetintoit​ @chilly-me-softly @pickfordsmount @kingneyney @bellinghamsbitch​​ @mrspulisic10​ (these tags carry on from the baby series, please let me know if you want to still be on the list)

Okayyy, Nikka, this is completely your fault. I’m now down a rabbit hole with your ocs and their pairings, and I have way too many cute Instagram reels saved so what better to than headcanon! (feel free to reject every single one of these haha)

(https://www.instagram.com/tv/CfCxgBWAunj/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) <- okayy, so this for Blaze x Kirsten. So, context for the video is that the the two started off as friends, then realised that they could have feelings for each other, and they finally have a chat about it and say that they’ll see where it goes, and he teases that ‘when their fist bumps turn to kisses’, and she gets all cute and flustered. I know you said that for Kirsten, Blaze was ‘crush at first sight’, so I thought it’d be super cute if Blaze is all teasey about their feelings when he most certainly has feelings for Kirsten.

(https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ci2u_g0Jz-P/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) <- this one for Blaze x Kirsten because Blaze loves travelling, and if he ever visited a location he knew Kirsten loved too he’d totally do this trend every year. On the topic of travelling and airports, if Kirsten ever had to travel for some ‘mayor’s daughter’ event thingy and Blaze didn’t go with her, guaranteed Blaze would be there waiting for her at the airport and I’d imagine that it’d be a cute run, jump, hug, pick her up and spin meet where they whisper that they missed each other — even if there was a full moon the night before, Blaze would be there.

(https://www.instagram.com/reel/CSzSQLelQLO/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) <- for Asher x Loren because it’s stuff like this that A does to show their love. I totally imagine him stopping Loren and glancing down at her shoelace and just tying it, and gently tapping her thigh when he’s done.

(https://www.instagram.com/reel/CS7TIRbDMZE/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) <- Kaidan and Lira because the boy is whipped!!

You can’t even get me started on Maya and Phoenix that’s a whole other can of fun worms… that I’ll probably send at some point this weekend :)

Gosh, I’ve word vomited everywhere, I hope this all actually sends and doesn’t look at all weird.

GOD OK mental breakdown under the cut because i don’t wanna clog the dash

THE FIRST REEL IM CRYING LIKE FORGET KIRSTEN. THAT SHIT WOULD WORK ON ME!!!!!!

no cause blaze WOULD tease her about her crush. kirsten is literally the fucking worst at hiding it. like she thinks she’s being subtle about stealing glances at him but he Knows and he never not uses it to his advantage. like that “uhuh” (god bless him) i imagine him doing that to see how she would react because she would’ve never EVER seen it coming. blaze always tries to sneak in an attempt at flirting when she least expects it and he relishes in her reactions. like she starts stuttering and she can’t look him in the eye and pls it’s the cutest but most chaotic thing ever 😭😭 pre-relationship blaze x kirsten is like that high school crush that’s wholesome and sweet but can also give you brain damage ugh that’s the good shit

AND THE SECOND ONE YESNEHJSJ please imagine them doing it at the place they made their relationship official. SOBS the photographer in kirsten would love that so much and i imagine her having a separate photo album for all her pictures on trips with blaze where she also took TONS of candid photos of him 🥹 kirsten is a soft lover. despite growing up surrounded by the most expensive things she’s always been a huge sucker for sentimentality so i can just imagine her buying one of those glass to glass picture frames where she inserts a candid photo of blaze with a sweet little note written at the back and surprises him with it <3 AND THE AIRPORT THING SHUT UP I WISH THAT WERE ME :(((( if it was the full moon the night before, blaze better be ready for nurse kirsten because she WILL check on him and make sure he’s okay. he’ll probably be like “kirs, you’re the one who just got off a long flight-” “shhhh are you sure you’re fine?” 😭😭😭

I totally imagine him stopping Loren and glancing down at her shoelace and just tying it, and gently tapping her thigh when he’s done.

UM??????? HELLO???????? PLEASE IMAGINING ASHER LIKE THIS IM GONNA CRY THATS SO CUTE HES SO CUTE listen i almost feel bad for giving him loren because loren is a fucking clown 😭😭 this could go two ways: loren would thank him and give him a quick peck on his jaw like a normal person OR if circus hours are open, she’d sneakily take a picture of him and send it to the group chat with: “i got him boys. i made the demigod kneel” like this bitch just won’t give him a break. but please she would be sooooo smitten :((((

THE WAY OUR BRAINS CONNECT WHEN IT COMES TO KAIDAN AND LIRA BECAUSE THAT IS SO THEM 😭😭😭 pls it literally makes my heart go whoosh just thinking about k appearing dominant and carefree then you break down their walls and peel all their layers and suddenly they’re the babiest ever UGH SECRET SOFTIES ARE EVERYTHING TO ME

and god… phoenix and maya.. ever since i wrote that whole list of hcs i haven’t stopped thinking about them. i just know your hcs are gonna murder me

Part of You. Spencer Reid x OC! Character. Chapter 12.

Chapter 12: Jealous and Undercover

(Not my gif)

Summary: Hotch has Derek and Bridgett go undercover to catch an unsub in a swingers club. Spencer gets jealous and reminds Bridgett who she is coming home to at the end of the night.

TW: Mentions of murder, talk of partner swapping, jealous Spencer, teasing Spencer (clit playing), unwanted touching, getting attacked by the unsub, more teasing, sexual innuendos. 

Word Count: 3.6k

A.N.: This is season 10 Spencer! Also, I think I’m going to be putting out 2 chapters a week (Saturdays and Wednesdays)! Lets see how it goes first! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Do you know if Maddy or Kevin had any problems with anyone at their work? Or just anyone in general?” Derek questions the best friend of Maddy, one of the victims in the murder.

The girl sniffles, wiping tears from her eyes. “No. They were both nice, warm people. Maddy was always the first to volunteer at their daughter Maya's school field trips, PTA meetings. Kevin was hard working, but everyone loved him. Who would do this? Maya lost both of her parents.”

Bridgett hands the woman a tissue. “That’s what we’re trying to figure out. We read your statement you gave to the police and you said you were with them Saturday night, dinner, drinks; did you notice anyone suspicious when you were out?”

The woman sighs, staying silent.

“You know something you’re not telling us, Desiree. Talk to us.” Bridgett states.

“There’s a club that a friend of ours owns… it’s a swingers club. That’s where we were on Saturday. My husband and I went along with them and our partners got traded. I’m not sure the name of the man that Maddy ended up with but Kevin never lets her go alone.”

“So it’s a threesome?” Derek asks.

“Not always. Sometimes Kevin would watch while Maddy… you know.”

“How many times have you been there?” Bridgett questions.

“The four of us together… six or seven times. I think Maddy and Kevin went more frequently.”

“We’re going to need the name of the club, as well as the partners you and your husband had.”

***

“So all the victims went to the same swingers club. Club Encounters.” JJ says.

“They had to have met the unsub at the club. And had sex with him.” Rossi adds.

“Or let him watch.” Spencer says, writing something on the board in front of him.

“We need to get in the club. It’s Friday night so it’s most likely going to be packed.” Bridgett suggests.

“She’s right. Bridgett you and Morgan get dressed, you’ll be going undercover as a couple to get into the club.”

Bridgett looks over at Derek, suppressing a smile and raising her eyebrow at him. Spencer spins around quickly, not looking thrilled with Hotch’s plan. Bridgett makes eye contact with her boyfriend across from her and gives him a “calm down” look.

“Sir? We’ll be going undercover as a couple?” Bridgett questions.

“Married couple. Get back to the hotel and get ready. Be back here by 8pm. Everyone else, work on calling the names of the partners and asking them if they know anything.” Hotch leaves the room, leaving the rest of the team smirking at Derek and Bridgett.

“Let’s head back to get ready for our night out, Mrs. Morgan.” Derek jokes before walking out.  

Bridgett bites her bottom lip to prevent herself from smiling at his joke. Spencer pouts at Derek as he passes by, Derek paying him no mind. Bridgett gets up from her seat, grabbing her stuff and following Derek.

“Could I come with you guys… back to the hotel? There’s something I need to grab.” Spencer says, running to catch up with them.

“Yeah, come on pretty boy.”

***

“Come on, mama! You have like 10 more minutes before we have to leave.” Derek calls out from the other side of the door.

“Okay give me like 2 more minutes!” She responds, fluffing her hair up again.

Derek sits on the edge of the bed, fiddling with the watch on his wrist. Spencer was on the other side of the room, still not liking the arrangement that was going on. Derek scoffs out a laugh at Spencer’s visible pout on his face, looking like a child who was told they couldn’t get a second piece of cake for dessert.

“What’s on your mind, kid?” Derek asks, breaking the silence in the room.

“Hmm, nothing. Just uhh, thinking about the case.”

“You know I can tell when you’re lying right?”

The bathroom door opens up, Bridgett stepping out in a sexy tight white dress, the dress ending mid thigh ,and baby pink high heels. Spencer bites his lip, taking in the beauty that is his girlfriend. Derek’s eyes scanned his coworker’s body, shocked that she looked sexy as hell.

“I need help tying my dress.” Bridgett says, turning around and moving her hair to the side. Her entire back was exposed, both the men could tell she wasn’t wearing a bra, which drove Spencer up the wall.

Derek looks over at Spencer, motioning him to Bridgett. Spencer clears his throat, walking over to her and tying the little strings together on her dress up for her. Bridgett turns around and smiles, fixing her hair to flow down her back, completely oblivious to the gawking stares both of them were giving her.

“Well, what do you think?” She asks, smiling at both men, doing a spin.  

“I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but god damn you look good.” Derek gawks, making Bridgett’s cheeks get hot.

Spencer shoots him a dirty look, wrapping his arm around Bridgett, and giving her forehead a kiss.

Derek stands up, grinning. “I’ll give you two lovebirds a minute. But you need to be downstairs in less than 5 minutes.”

“Yes sir.” Bridgett replies, giving him a sarcastic salute.

Spencer rolls his eyes, tilting Bridgett’s chin up toward him and forcefully kissing her after Derek walks out of the room. Bridgett moans against him, tangling her fingers in his hair immediately. Her free hand slides up his chest wrapping her hand around his tie and pulling him close. Spencer pulls the end of her dress up over her butt, exposing her skimpy underwear. He pulls back from the kiss, looking down at her practically see through white panties.

“Is someone jealous that Derek and I are playing a couple?” Bridgett teases, nipping at his jaw.

Spencer slips his finger under the elastic of her panties and lightly circles the wet bud between her legs. Bridgett grips his arm, moaning loudly.

“You’re coming back to me, tonight, Bridgett. And in this outfit, you understand me?” He speaks in a deep voice, not breaking eye contact with her.

“Y-yes sir.” She mutters, trying to keep her composure. Spencer draws his fingers back out, coating his lips with her wetness as he licks his fingers clean. Bridgett presses her lips against his, tasting herself on his plump lips.

“Let’s go before Derek comes back up here.” He says, biting the side of her neck roughly. Bridgett yelps, laughing, massaging the area.

“I like jealous Spencer.” She states, fixing her dress and grabbing her clutch.

“Hey,” Spencer calls, pulling her toward him. “I love you.”

“I love you too. And, don’t worry, Derek and I aren’t going to do ‘swinger’ stuff, alright. We’re just trying to catch the unsub.”

“Yeah, I know.” Spencer says, stuffing his hands in his pockets, giving her a small forced smile.

Bridgett strokes his cheek softly, looking at his brown eyes. “Come on,  my love.” She says, pulling his arm out of his pocket and holding it in hers as they walk out of the room.

***

“Can you hear us?” Hotch asks through the earpiece in Bridgett’s ear hidden by her hair.

“Yes, sir.” Bridgett replies, walking arm and arm with Derek through the busy club. There were people dancing together on the dance floor, grinding against each other and making out. “I’m not trying to judge, but I can’t imagine sharing my significant other. I’m not good at sharing. I failed that part of kindergarten.” Bridgett jokes.

“You just have to pretend to share me, pretty girl.” Derek says. They both sit at the bar, sipping the fake cocktails they ordered. Derek wraps his arm around Bridgett’s waist, pulling her close to him.

Bridgett stiffens up around his grasp, her eyes flying over to him and growing wide.

“Hey mama, you gotta relax. I know you’re nervous, you haven’t done a lot of undercover stuff, but you gotta loosen up. We’re playing the part.”

Bridgett nods her head, resting her hand on his thigh, kissing his cheek. Derek nuzzles his head in her neck. It felt so weird cuddling up to a different man, and her boyfriend’s best friend nonetheless. As they were “fake” flirting, Bridgett’s eyes scan the room, fixating on a man that was staring them down.

“Derek, blonde man in a blue jean jacket in the left corner, black rimmed glasses.”

Derek picks his head up nonchalantly, turning it slowly toward the left corner of the club. Derek eyes him, studying his face and his body language. The man was definitely checking the two of them out.

“You see the scratch marks on the side of his neck?” Derek says in her ear.

Bridgett nods her head. “Carolina Doane had DNA under her fingernails, but they couldn’t identify it. Come here.” Bridgett takes Derek’s hand, leading him through the crowd over to the man. He takes a swig of his drink, eyeing the couple.

“Hey. Saw you checking us out from across the room. You like what you see?” Bridgett asks.

“Have a seat.” The man offers the chair across from him. Derek sits down first, Bridgett sitting on his lap. Derek snakes his arm around the front of her waist, keeping her in place.

“What’s your name, handsome?” Bridgett asks him.

“Connor Campbell. And you two?”

“I’m Isabelle, and this is my husband, Danny.”

“What are you looking for?” The man asks, taking another drink from the glass in his hand.  

“Well to tell you the truth it’s our first time here. We’re new to the swinging game. But I think I want double the fun.” Bridgett replies, “I don’t like to share but I like to be shared.”

“I think that can be arranged.”

“You come with anyone?” Derek asks.

“No. I came here alone. Easier for people to approach me. You want to head out of here? I have somewhere we can go.”

“Go with him. But try to keep him from going home. Garcia searched his name and we have units at his house searching for evidence. Try to stall.” Hotch’s voice rings from her ear.

“Yeah, let’s get out of here.” Bridgett says, standing up off Derek’s lap.

As the three of them headed out of the club, the potential unsub was getting handsy behind Bridgett as they made their way through the crowd, touching on her ass and hips. Once they made it outside together Bridgett walked in the middle of the two men. Clinging onto Connor’s arm and touching his chest, trying to make it look like she was interested in him.

“You’re an eager little one aren’t you?” Connor moans, slapping her ass. Bridgett bites her tongue to hide the disgust on her face.

“Yeah, it’s what I love about her. She’s very eager to please.” Derek replies, giving her hand a comforting squeeze, he could tell she was uncomfortable.

“Why don’t we get the party started in the car? I’m kinda into the voyeurism thing.” Bridgett says, slipping her hand under his shirt.

“You good with that, man? With me touching your wife in front of you?” He turns his head to Derek waiting for permission, even though he was already touching both sides of her hips.

Bridgett gives Derek a nod subtly, letting him know it was okay.  

“She’s all yours. You be a good girl and listen to him, got it?” Derek says, playing into this role too well.

She shoots Derek a nervous look behind Connor’s shoulder before he turns back around, Bridgett faking a smile at the man as he begins to touch her inner thigh, breathing heavily against her neck. He reeked of disgusting musty  cologne, cigarettes, and the whisky he was drinking inside. She was going to need a bleach bath after this was over.

“How much pleasure can you really get from your husband since you want to be shared?” He whispers to her, groping her breasts.

“And you think you can please me?” Bridgett asks.

“You’ve never wondered what it’s like to be with someone who can give you all the pleasure in the world, sweetheart?”  

Gag.

“We got him. He’s the unsub. Take him down, we’re on our way.” Hotch says in the earpiece.

“FBI, step away from her and put your hands up.” Derek says, drawing the gun on him.

Connor grabs Bridgett by the throat, pushing her against the brick building behind her. Her head bounces against the wall at the force he grabs her. Bridgett sinks her nails into his face, scratching him and attempting to push him off of her. His grip tightens around her windpipe as they struggle with each other, making her cough and gasp for air. Derek grabs Connor by his shirt collar, throwing him to the ground. As Connor’s hand drops from her neck, Bridgett loses her balance from the heels and falls to the ground, still choking and coughing. She watches Derek get on top of him and handcuff him.

“You good?” Derek asks, motioning over to her.

“Fine.” She chokes out, her voice sounding hoarse, still coughing deeply.

Two black SUVs pull up on the sidewalk next to them, the red and blue lights flashing, the team running out to help Derek and Bridgett.

“Are you okay?” JJ asks, helping Bridgett up off the ground.

“My head.” She moans out.

JJ turns her head, touching the spot that was sore on her scalp.  Bridgett winces and whines at the stinging on her head.

“You’re bleeding. We’ll call you to a medic.” JJ walks with her to the car, placing her in it while she speaks over the walkie for an ambulance. Bridgett shivered at the cold breeze from the wind and the blasting car AC.

“Here, sweetheart.” Kate takes the coat in her hand and wraps it around Bridgett’s shoulders. She has a towel in her hand as well and gently applies pressure to the back of her head.

“Thank you. Where’s Spence?”

“He’s with Derek, he’ll be here in a second. You did a good job catching the unsub, Bridgett. When the police got to his house there was another couple there, they were tied up and had been there for 2 days. They said he was torturing them and told them after tonight they’re agony would be over.”

Spencer walks up to Bridgett, his face softening once he sees her. “Hi, babe.” He says softly, bringing her in for a tight hug.

Bridgett nuzzles into his neck for comfort, relaxing against him. “Hi, baby.”

Spencer pulls away, giving her a kiss on the cheek. “The ambulance is here. Let’s get you checked out.” Spencer takes the towel from Kate, smiling at her and thanking her for taking care of Bridgett. Spencer guides her to the ambulance, letting the man take a look at the wound on the back of her head. He stayed by her side the whole time, holding her hand as they cleaned up the bit of blood on her head which stung more than anything.

“Do you have someone that can stay with you to make sure you don’t develop a concussion?” The paramedic asks.

“Yeah, she’s staying with me.” Spencer replies.

“Okay good. I’ll give you a list of questions you need to ask her every hour. If she starts to slur her words, throws up, has a seizure you need to bring her into the hospital. Keep ice on your head, avoid sleep for the next 6-8 hours.”

“Got it.” Bridgett mutters, keeping the ice pack he gave her on her head.

***

“I’ll make us some coffee since we’re not sleeping until tomorrow.” Spencer says, helping Bridgett sit on the bed.

“I need a shower. Desperately. I can still feel his disgusting hands on my skin.” Bridgett slips the heels off her feet, rolling her ankles around. Without asking, Spencer unzips her dress for her, sitting next to her.

“I gotta ask you the questions before you shower.” He says, taking a piece of paper out of his pocket.

“Spence, no you don’t. I’m fine.” Bridgett replies, taking her arms out of the sleeves of her dress, shimmying out of the dress the rest of the way, leaving her in only her panties.

Spencer’s eyes grow wide, his pupils dilating at the sight of his half naked girlfriend. He clears his throat, looking back at the paper. “What’s your name?”

Bridgett sighs, rolling her eyes and walking toward the bathroom. “Bridgett Rhonda Mendez.” She calls from the shower, turning the water on.

“How old are you?” Spencer’s voice seems closer. She pokes her head out from behind the curtain, chucking at him leaning against the sink. She draws the curtain back, fully on display and wet. Spencer sits in the closed toilet seat, trying not to look at her.

“I’m 27.”

“Do you know where you are right now?”

“In the shower. Waiting for my boyfriend to join me. He told me that I was coming back to him when the night was over.”

Spencer licks his lips, looking back at the paper. “Umm, what day of the week is it, today’s date, and the month?”

“Friday September 16th. Are we done?” Bridgett asks, slowly lathering the body soap all over her torso.

Spencer watches her for a few seconds, contemplating taking his clothes off and joining her.

Emily had a good point, Spencer had an IQ of 178, but a woman walks by, or in this case is sudsy in front of him, it drops down to 60.

Spencer looks down at the paper in his hand, he knew what was written on it, but he needed to look away from his girlfriend. “What happened prior to you hitting your head?”

Bridgett turns the shower head off, grabbing the towel off the rack next to the tub and dries her wet body off. Spencer’s eyes not leaving her glistening body.

Get it together, Spencer. Fucking Christ.

“Campbell was trying to get me in the mood by talking creepy to me. Hotch said to take him down and Derek drew his gun on Campbell. Then he grabbed me by my throat and choked me out against the wall.” Bridgett looked into Spencer’s eyes the whole time she was summarizing her night, drying the “fun” parts of her body off.

“You’re good… no concussion.” Spencer mutters, stuffing the piece of paper back in his pocket.

Bridgett leans up to kiss Spencer, making sure to press against him a little extra. “Do I get anything… special for answering all my questions right?”

He swears he feels his whole body jump at the feeling of her hot, silky smooth skin pressed up fully against him. “What did you have in mind?”

“Well… I got a bump on my head and even though the paramedic did a good job with making sure I’m okay, I think I need a doctor’s opinion.” Bridgett whispers in his ear, nipping at the spot behind his ear. “I think I need a full body exam to make sure I’m okay and not broken.”

“Well, I’m not an actual medical doctor, Bridge.”

Bridgett laughs at the fact that her attempt at being sexy went right over his head, just like every other time. At this point he should know all of her sexual advances. She presses her forehead against his shoulder for a second, trying not to make him feel bad for laughing.

“Spencer, I know. I’m trying to tell you to fuck me without actually saying the words.”

“Oh, right. Well, let’s give you that examination.”

***

“Okay, what’s your next question?” Bridgett asks, grabbing a handful of popcorn and taking a few bites.

“Have you given thought to us moving in together?” Spencer asks.

Bridgett’s eyes grow wide, Spencer took the game to a whole new level with his question. First they were just asking random questions that Bridgett found online like, “Have you ever practiced kissing in a mirror?” To which Bridgett learned that Spencer had. Now he was getting deep.

“The thought has crossed my mind a few times.” Bridgett replies with a smile. “Same question to you.”

“You said we couldn’t repeat questions!” Spencer says.

Bridgett playfully rolls her eyes, laughing to herself. “Okay, okay. In the next… 6 months do you see us living together?”

Spencer gives her a flat face, “You realize you asked me the same question in just different words?” He tosses an M&M at her, the candy hitting her chest and rolling down her cleavage. Spencer laughs, throwing his arms up in the air.

Bridgett airs her shirt out, the candy rolling out the bottom into the bed, she grabs it and pops it in her mouth.

“Really?”

“Really what? They’re my boobs! I know where they’ve been! And I showered! They’re clean! You’ve eaten things off my boobs before!  Don’t avoid my question!” Bridgett says loudly.

“I would say less than 6 months.”

“Really? You want to wake up every morning to me, have to deal with me all the time? Always somewhere in the apartment everywhere you turn and look? Imagine all my hair ties all over the place. You’ve started a collection in a jar at my apartment because I keep losing them.”

Spencer nods his head, “We already spend all our time together outside the job, I wake up next to you all the time, and I love it. I think it makes sense for us to live together officially.”

“Okay, well my lease ends in the next few months. I won’t renew it when it’s over.” Bridgett smiles, leaning over their snack pile to give him a kiss.

The tone of the kiss turns quickly once Bridgett starts to move the snacks out of her way to get closer to Spencer.

“I have to ask you the concussion questions again.” He says quickly, still trying to recover from the sex they had less than 45 minutes ago.

Bridgett groans, rolling her eyes. “If I could answer the questions in the middle of us having sex, and I answered them right, I think my brain is fine.”

[phoenixyfriend]

I am seized by a fatal need for courtroom ninja drama fic

But not serious courtroom drama. I'm talking Phoenix Wright style Nonsense.

(Some of this was provided by the folks over in @sloaners​‘ server, but the bulk of it was me spitballing nonsense at people who actually know the games, which I do not. I do paraphrase a few times to make it more feasible as a tumblr post/fic concept, rather than a rapidfire text conversation.)

Or one of those like. Reality TV paternity test things? But specifically in my mind the people involved in the actual paternity are a married couple and someone that joined them to be their third, and Clan Elders are throwing a fit about how the baby might not be the heir by blood! while the actual parents are like "I could not care less, this is our child, all three of us, please stop getting involved."

HashiMitoMada would be a VERY good option for the paternity nonsense, mostly because I can see Madara screeching at his own elders about how he already said Izuna would be his heir and he's not changing his mind!

Tobirama is just begging the paternity test to work faster off-screen because he's the only person with the machines to make it happen.

(Hashirama is just. Moping in a corner.)

"I just had to INVENT a paternity test that works before the birth! I had to figure out how to test amniotic fluid! If you assholes make me do something this stupid on such short notice again, I will be digging some shallow graves!" "...for who?" "I haven't decided yet."

Anyway, jumping back to like a Phoenix Wright-style murder investigation.

The victim was Danzo. Even the prosecution isn't actually that interested in making sure someone gets arrested, but they're legally obligated to do at least try. A bunch of people all acting really suspicious about who killed him. There is at least one shitty fake mustache-on-glasses disguise to provide a paper-thin alibi.

WAIT The other thing this gives us is ninjas in three-piece-suits but half of them wear the suits wrong. I’m talking mismatched buttons. The wrong way of tying their tie. Sewn-on-cufflinks. This is Naruto, for instance.

Tobirama would wear it properly, except he's rushing about in a lab coat, screaming at everyone to get out of his way because he's The Entire Forensics Team.

(This is the part where I have to confess that I have only seen the live-action movie of Phoenix Wright, as I don't game, so I just have the live action and tumblr osmosis.)

At this point, of course, we gotta ask: Who is the most Belligerent Witness And who is the Helpful™️ Witness that's super enthusiastic but entirely useless

I can see, say, Mito being a solid witness that both defense and prosecution are really thankful for.

Modern gen you have like... Sasuke and Neji are both incredibly belligerent witnesses. Neji at least is polite about it but pulls the "only answers with the absolute minimum of information."

Lee and Gai would have the over enthusiasm but forget to say actual vital testimony until pressed, and Naruto would love to help but might not be entirely sure what the case even is.

Shikamaru falls asleep when the lawyers consult their partners. Prosecution A consults Prosecution B for thirty-seven seconds, then turns around and the witness is asleep at the stand.

Tobi (as in Obito with mask) is an incredibly frustrating witness. They have to declare a recess just so all the lawyers can recover their blood pressure. "Can we please get someone up on the stand with this guy as a handler? I'm--I'm going to explode."

Gaara: Helpful. Polite. Answers with detail. Answers the spirit of the question as well as the letter. Includes more detail. That's too much detail. Gaara please stop telling us about the sounds that bones make.

His testimony just drags on forever.

Ninken can and will take the stand! Pakkun even enjoys it! Some ninken require translators.

ABURAME TRANSLATING FOR A RANDOM GIANT CENTIPEDE THAT WITNESSED A MURDER IN THE FOREST OF DEATH

There are arguments about whether or not the testimony can count since nobody else can confirm the translation except Other Aburame so how do they know the Aburame aren't part of the coverup.

"Okay, so this Danzo guy had like fifty shell companies but I think I found the route that leads back to him?" "Nah, that one goes to a guy that died eighty years ago that's still collecting pensions: his family lied and said he was still alive for the money." "Fuck!"

Also I just. I love the idea of Sasuke and Madara being the exact opposite kind of belligerent witness.

Also, Orochimaru answers with pretty much the exact kind of wording as Gaara, but where Gaara is trying to be helpful and provide detail for the sake of the case, and failing to see that it's maybe not necessary, Orochimaru just wants to see people squirm. ...similar thing happens with Sakura and Kabuto. Similar phrasing, very different energy.

I keep picturing all of Team Taka as part of Forensics and Evidence Collecting ajshakshjd

Juugo, holding up a rabbit: I found a witness.

Karin joins forensics and Tobirama nearly weeps from joy until he finds her criminal record "Shit, that was supposed to get thrown out when I turned eighteen."

Tobirama: I asked for an assistant, not a criminal. Karin: I'm on parole. Tobirama: That makes things worse. Karin: I know how to use a [concerningly advanced machine that I, a business major, cannot name]. Tobirama: ...never mind, I'm keeping you.

Karin: I know how to DNA sequence AND use LA-ICP-MS Tobirama: [weeps with joy]

Suigetsu would be great at blood splatter analysis. ...I think I read somewhere that blood spatter analysis is actually over in 'fake science that's pushed by cops and media but actually doesn't work' BUT apparently it’s in the Ace Attorney games so we’re going to ignore reality a bit. We’ve already got dogs and rabbits and centipedes as witnesses, what’s a bit of blood spatter?

He's also probably really good at cause of death stuff? Like looking at corpse and figuring out how long it took the victim to die, which blow did it, whether any damage was inflicted post-mortem, etc.

Sasuke is usually too busy playing Belligerent Witness but sometimes goes to join Taka for... uh... reasons.

Juugo: [takes the stand] Lawyer: Hey, uh, why's that Uchiha guy with him? The witness-- Judge: No, no, we need Uchiha Sasuke on hand when questioning Expert Animal Handler Juugo. Lawyer: ...why? Judge: Property damage.

(Sasuke as a work partner with Juugo, also moonlighting as a witness/suspect in Danzo's murder.)

One time they need Juugo but can't find him even though court is already in session and he said he'd be here, turns out he was lured away by Kakashi's army of dogs. Kakashi didn't notice until he turned to ask Pakkun if he could help find the missing expert.

Juugo is a decent lab assistant, I think?

Anyway.

Tobirama taking on Team Taka as his forensics team while Orochimaru is... hm... traveling the country to promote his new autobiography, which is outselling the newest Icha Icha to Jiraiya's ire.

Sloane suggested “a case where it's all the Sannin as suspects in a murder. They would be THE WORST, say... the murder of Hanzo.”

To which I suggested “The Sannin are all suspects but the people on trial are the Ame trio, maybe?”

Which garnered the response of “It could be a surprise upset IN COURT that the trio should be on trial.”

We love a court upset.

Suigetsu finds out that the cause of death was actually an entirely natural heart attack, but while he was determining this, the rest of the team and the lawyers found like eight conspiracies by Zetsu, three by Danzo, four by Orochimaru, and an entire network of nonsense by Sasori.

INO IS THE PSYCHIC. I know her thing in canon is reading minds but pls. Ino is Maya. The Spirit Medium.

Is the judge: 1. Hiruzen 2. Hashirama 3. Hagoromo 4. Mifune 5. The Daimyou

(Old dude with authority, optionally easily distracted/questionably competent. I'd have gone for impressive facial hair but only Mifune and Hagoromo have more than like... Hiruzen's weird soul patch.)

It's not a soul patch but I don't know what facial hair is called and I can't just call it a goat beard

Response commentary was as follows: The Daimyou would unfortunately be closer to the personality of the ace attorney judge, more blindly agreeing with things that sound good :joy: Hiruzen could be fun if only for the competing facial hair for a beard, yes xD Hagoromo would possibly be most buckwild tho WELCOME TO MOON COURT

I managed to get this far with like... NO idea who the judges were except “IDK maybe Kakashi?” but consider:

...HashiMada rival lawyers

Dropping over to Izuna vs. Touka for when Hashirama and Madara inevitably become suspects of something or other themselves and have to be witnesses.

(Tobirama's too busy running blood tests, Anija, let Touka handle it, she's better at people anyway.)

...Hashirama is like. Marginally more put-together than Madara, right? So that... makes him Edgeworth... somehow... That feels wrong but Madara as Edgeworth feels even more wrong.

Madara is very into screaming OBJECTION

ALSO consider: Friction when a doctor from a nearby hospital gets called in to provide expert testimony on something because Karin is like "no hey I should be the one doing this" and then she sees how cute Sakura is.

But also at some point Kakashi vs. Gai for a nonsense case. Their personalities are both VERY FUN for this sort of thing.
