#They're just trying to have fun and me being annoyed is not their problem

[hawkinsoutcasts]

I don't like leaving critical comments on people's fanfics if they do not ask for critiques, but I wish folks didn't write Will and Mike as super ignorant sometimes.

Whenever people use the miscommunication trope, I feel like they tend to go too far with it to the point where it stops being believable and becomes annoying. Like, Mike and/or Will should realistically reach a point where it clicks in their head that "Oh my best friend is actually in love with me and I'm not misreading the signals."

Mike and Will are smart dudes, and I feel like, even though they struggle with insecurity and self-doubt, they're still smart enough to understand when one of them is trying to tell them something. idk that's just my opinion.

____

“Now you know she ain’t like you doin’ all that in the house Stack.” Smoke warned his brother as he saw him light up his cigar.

The boys were laid up on different couches opposite each other in just their boxers. It was a sticky southern summer day and they were taking no chances in the hot ass sun. They were both men of the night now. 

Stack had convinced his brother to join him in his world of eternity shortly after he turned. And his brother didn’t decline. Living in a world without his brother was unfathomable. 

When they told Annie, she struggled for a while - she didn’t want that life for herself but still wanted them in her life. Annie chose to love them anyway. She married them anyway. And that’s why she was the love of their life.

Annie was the center of their world, their matriarch, sun, moon, stars and the fucking sky where they were concerned. So when she expressed her dislike of them smoking in the house, it wasn’t a question of if the boys would smoke in the house. The boys, wouldn’t smoke in the house. 

Smoke's warning caused his younger brother to roll his eyes as he took a drag. 

“Well, this my house too.” Stack replied back with an impish grin. 

“Ion want no trouble. You not bouta fuck up my chance of getting some tonight cuz you wanna be smart Stack. Put it out.” The older commanded the younger. 

He shook his head.

“It’s just this one time and she ain’t here so she ain’t gon’ know. Unless you tell her.” Stack stared pointedly at his twin.

“You gon tell her?” He asked with a raised brow before sucking on his cigar once more. The flavour filled his dead lungs and swirled about for a bit before he exhaled. That was one thing he liked about being undead. The mechanics of his body worked differently. There’d be no choking over here. 

“We took vows man why, you always wanna rock the boat?” Smoke asked highly annoyed at his brothers antics. 

“Yeah yeah, I ain’t cheatin’. Just smokin’.” he took a hit of his cigar obnoxiously once more.

“I’m here bored as hell man. Can I live? You want some?” he asked his older brother cheekily.

He received a glare in response. Smoke still — smoked — obviously but just out on the porch, adhering to the rules his lady had for the house. The boys may have been undead, but her potted plants were not.

“I married her too Smoke. So if we gotta problem I’ll take it up with her myself.” 

And that was the thing with Stack, he was all bark and no bite because when his lady pulled up to the house earlier than expected he started singing a very different off key tune.

Annie's melodic laugh carried from the front porch into the house as her footsteps sounded on the wood, getting closer and closer to the door. 

“I’ll see ya’ll later! Next time bring a towel!” She yelled back at the girls whose car squealed off down the dirt road. 

“Shit.” Stack exclaimed frantically trying to stow away the evidence of his crime. 

She wasn’t supposed to be back yet. She said she’d be hanging out with the girls at the lake and coming home in the evening to make dinner. Stack's eyes found the clock, it was not time for dinner. 

The speed in which he ashed the cigar would’ve been comical if it hadn’t left a burn mark on the couch. 

“Fuck!” he spat. He flapped his arms about looking for a solution. 

The front screen door creaked open. She was here. 

Smoke glowered at him before rising to greet their wife. “Hey baby, you had fun playin’ in the water?” He’d angled himself strategically to block her view of Stacks soiled couch. He rubbed his hands on her arms, still a little damp from her dip. 

The move gave his twin enough time to throw a blanket over the mark and kick the cigar box full of evidence under the couch. 

“Yeah. Mary forgot her towel, so we had to cut it short.” 

She stretched up and kissed her husband long and deep before orienting herself around him to find her other one. Once her eyes landed on Stack she grinned. 

She tapped her lips expectantly and Stack closed the distance between them and ducked down before giving her a quick kiss.

She frowned at the small display of affection before she began unpacking her bag and recounting the events of her day. She covered everything from the moment she left the house until the second she landed back on the porch.

The boys typically liked hearing about her days, especially because they didn’t really experience them anymore. They barely saw the people they grew up with now, unless it was in the dark of night. A juke, a party, a hang… then they’d show, because that’s the only time they could.

“I missed y’all.” Annie said before collapsing back into Smoke’s lap on the couch. 

“We missed you too princess.” Smoke responded stroking her arm once more. He was always touching.  

“What’d you guys get into while I was gone?” She asked, beaming across the room at Stack. It was their turn to share with her the events of their day. 

Stack spoke up quickly. 

“We was thinking we change up the sitting room. These couches bout old as hell, I bet Mr. Chow got the connect on somethin’ nice and new for us. What you think?”

She looked around her and she scrunched up her nose.  “What’s wrong with what we got right now?”

“Nothin’!” Smoke replied alarmed and eyes wide.  

Annie furrowed her brow. Maybe they could use a bit of a refresh across the house stylistically. She shared her thoughts contemplatively. 

“Ion know bout somethin’ new. But maybe we could ask the girls at the shop for some new fabric, maybe change that. She’ll be good as new. No need to spend all that extra money.” She gestured to their fully functioning, not that old couch. 

“We got more than enough money.” Smoke reassured her as he always did, rubbing her back. He was the bookkeeper of their little family. He handled the money stuff, he made sure they were always good. Budgets, projections, the whole 9. 

Smoke didn’t wanna get involved in this play at all, but he saw the potential and it could work.  They’d replace the couch, Annie would be none the wiser and he'd still get to draw moans out of her that evening. It was a win-win. He chimed in. 

“Nah mama, we wanna make sure it’s nice and new. Chow got some styles from up North. Lemme talk to him.” Smoke bent down and placed a kiss on her temple once more.

“Let us handle it baby.” Stack said from across the room. 

She hesitated before nodding. 

“Ok.. I’ll leave y’all to it.” She said as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep in her lovers arms.

Smoke had stepped out that evening. Had to go check in on some business things and he didn’t want to be in the house right now, he was a bad liar and the more he could avoid Annie the better. 

Stack stayed home and kept Annie company but unfortunately the couch incident was steady on his mind. He didn’t like lying to Annie; it didn't sit right in his stomach. That evening she kept smiling at him, feeding him and loving him and it was all too much for him. Why’d she have to be so good? 

She had resigned herself to her room to wind down before bed. Stack couldn’t do it anymore. He had to confess. 

He marched himself over to her room and knocked on her door. The boys made sure the second bedroom was just for Annie. There she could make herself up, or just have a space away from them whenever she needed it. There was only 1 Annie and two of them, they never wanted her to be overwhelmed.

“Come in.” her voice travelled across the room and through the door. 

“Hi baby.” She beckoned him inside. She was laying on her bed, reading a book. He stepped inside the room and shut the door quietly. He stayed at the door though.

One thing Stack couldn’t deal with was anxiety. Annie helped him with that, and alot of his other emotional regulatory issues. He bit his lip. “I can come over there?” 

Annie looked at him funny. “Of course.”

He walked over and kneeled beside the bed. 

“I have something to tell you. Promise me you ain’t gon be mad.”

Her lip quipped up. “That depends on what you bouta tell me Elias.”

He squeezed his eyes shut. Her hand shot out to stroke his face lovingly. She had the sweetest spot for him. Elijah was daddy, but Elias? Elias was baby. 

“I promise sweet boy.”

Elias hung his head low before blurting out:

“Ismokedinthehouseandfuckedupyourcouchandimsorry.”

Annies face was deadpan. 

“You wanna say that again, in a language I can understand?”

He took a deep breath and tried again. Eyes still squeezed shut. 

“I was smoking in the house and fucked up the couch and I’m sorry.”

The room was silent for a moment before Annie broke it with her response.

“I know.”

“Now I know you mad —“ he stopped. His face scrunched up and his shoulders dropped the stress leaving his body like a waterfall.

“You know?”

She nodded her head. A small smile tugging on her lips. 

“Smoke told you?”

She shook her head. “No.”

“Then how you know?” He asked bewildered.

“I checked it out when I woke up from my nap on the couch. I lifted up the blanket you threw over the burn when y'all thought you were being slick conspiring in the kitchen. You never use a blanket.”

And it was true. Stack ran hot. Sweaty all the damn time. The fluffy fabric being draped all over his couch was uncharacteristic of him.  

“You not mad?”

“I ain’t happy that you lied to me, but it was creative and I wanted to see how long you could keep it up.” she wore an amused smile on her face. 

He huffed before admitting.  “I been feeling bad all night.”

“Who's fault is that?” She asked raising a brow. 

“You right.”

He paused before her spoke up again. “So you not mad?” He asked to clarify once more. 

“No. I’m not mad Elias. Plus, y'all wanted to replace my couch with no fuss. I ain’t complaining… just know I’ll want new carpets too.” She responded, looking pleased with herself. 

“Good luck explaining that one to your brother with his budgets. Time for you to go Elias. Shut the door on your way out.” she said before turning her back to her husband.

He rose from her bedside and smiled before heading towards the door. 

“Night Annie.”

“Elias?” she called out.

He stopped, hand hovering over the doorknob. He was so close. 

“No more smoking in the house. Next time I won’t be as forgiving.” 

“Yes ma’am.” He responded before closing the door quietly and assessing himself. 

He was relieved for a second because he was no longer lying to his wife and she wasn't mad. His chest puffed up. See? Wasn’t nothing to worry about. 

That was before he realized the predicament he was in and he deflated quite shortly after.

He done traded one problem for another. 

New fucking carpets too?

Smoke was gonna whoop his ass.

The thing you need to remember about comics ages and timelines is that yeah it's messy there are retcons at stuff and it will never be clear and perfect. But also, DC has an interest portraying age the way they do. They have an interest in aging Barbara down so she can be Dick's pretty girlfriend with whom he raises a cute dog (and maybe a cute little family next perhaps?). They have an interest in trying to keep Tim young and draw him younger than he looks so they can milk his Robin's popularity for as long as possible. They have an interest in drawing Jason to make him look 40 when Bruce slits his throat, to make him look like a grown man fighting a teenager when fighting Mia even though they're the same age (though i mantain that mia is a little bit older), in having him call Tim kid even though they're the same age, in having him offer Tim a drink and Tim pointing out he's not legal when Jason isn't either. They have an interest in Jason looking older in Jim Aparo's art style in ADITF than he looked in precrisis or in 308. They have an interest in Steph magically looking older in War Games, where she gets tortured and brutally murdered, than the fun colourful round and much more youthful art from her Robin run. There are probably many more examples but bottom line it's not fucking innocent. DC knows how to hire artists that know how to draw children it's really not that hard. Characters who look young, characters who remind you that they are young, create more empathy; which is good when you want the public to continue to root for them, and bad when those characters challenge the status quo or that excess of empathy might create pushback after you decide to have them brutally murdered. DC can't have Batman grievously wounding and causing the death of his underage son, but if he looks as old as Batman? DC can't have Jason making a valid point about vigilantism being unsafe for Mia and relating with her with childhood sexual abuse subtext because it makes the heroes (and especially Batman) look bad, but if it looks like this is a grown ass man harassing a teenage girl, then it's clear who is the villain, it's okay, no problem. DC needs Barbara to be younger so the power dynamic between her and Dick fits their idea of a perfect little nuclear family much better and they can shove Barbara back into the role of Batgirl even though she is very much a girl rather than a woman. DC needs Steph to look older when she's tortured so they can be edgy without people being too horrified at them doing something horrifying, DC needs Jason and Steph to look older on the day they die because young looking= innocent which makes it so much harder to victim-blame. DC needs Mia to look younger than Jason so they can make it look like the good old "good victim/bad victim" dichotomy and even though that's not what the story is actually about, regardless of how much it disrespects Mia's character to do so. DC needs Jason to look ugly because it's harder to empathize with ugly people and it makes it so much clearer who is the bad guy and who is the good one, and it's a much easier dichotomy, so much more comfortable than challenging the whole mythos around which Batman is built. DC needs Barbara to be sexy in their traditional male-gaze way, because this is the audience they're trying to appeal to.

So like, I know that I'm nit-picking when I say "actually according to any and all logic Jason is younger than Tim by a couple of months and than Mia by around three years". Or when I say "they should bring back Dickbabs' old age difference" or even interact with Dickbabs as if they still have that difference and refuse to interact with Tom Taylor's version of the ship. I know comics are incoherent and the timeline is messy; but just because it's messy, just because it's always been, doesn't mean it's innocent. So I'm gonna keep nitpicking, and I'm gonna stay an annoying bitch, because I refuse to allow comics to manipulate me out of my empathy. And because I don't see everything and am very aware of how easy it is to be manipulated even when you're careful, I encourage you to add to this with things you've noticed whether it's in portrayal or in art about character age, appearance, or any other device they might use to manipulate our perception of the characters -and what narrative these resorts serve.

Ok so I've done some cursory looking over hdg and it seems like it would like, 99% be my thing except for the caked in assumptions regarding consent.

If benevolent plant beings showed up from space and said "We're here to free you from capitalism and also do some weird kink stuff with you if you're into that" I would not need to be mindbroken about it. I would be like "Can you maybe also do some weird body horror stuff to me please" and they'd be like "Yeah and we're also gonna keep you as a pet" and I'd say "Yippee!"

If there's like, a bunch of stories about enthusiastic consent in the setting it would become my favorite thing I think, but im not seeing any reference to stories like that so far in my research.

No, I don't know if there's any specific stories like that. There must be a couple (there's nearly 1000 stories on AO3 alone!), but I've not seen them. Any other HDG readers can recommend any?

But yeah. HDG is firmly in a dubcon hypnosis era: it's usually about subs going "no I don't want this!" and they eventually get convinced (possibly with mind control! ) that they're actually denying their feelings and they DO want this.

I can totally see why that kind of consent situation wouldn't be for everyone! But it's a bit baked into the setting, so I don't know how much HDG you'll he able to find that doesn't have it.

Best of luck, and I totally understand if you just don't enjoy HDG because of the consent issues. It's not for everyone.

For what it's worth, while I personally don't have a problem with reading the dubcon, it is a bit annoying to me, as someone who would similarly just dive into being a plant-mommy's pet. An HDG protagonist will be all "damn you freaky xenos! Stop trying to give me the body I always wanted and fixing everything about my life and trying to give me sexy plant cuddles with fun drugs!"

And I'm like... Sis, stop complaining. Embrace being a pet and enjoy. This is everything I wanted.

(I hope I don't get evicted from the HDG fandom for my heresy)

cringe is dead right? anyway made up some danny phantom ocs. say hi to carly and carla, aka lee and la. do you get it? because the vampiress carmilla? do you get it? do you get the joke. do you ge- [gets shot]

i wanted to combine some of my favorite tropes for these two. i looove battle twins in media especially when they're side characters. like the twins from the book of life or something. i love battle maids/battle nuns too so. theres that. i also thought that they'd make some fun minions of vlad's. anyway heres a lot of headcanons and their story. to me. in my head.

instead of vlad's estate being a literal castle, to go with his vampire and gothic themeing instead i thought it would be badass as hell if he lived in a refurbished cathedral. he's over the top enough for it.

lee and la were twins who werent the best people, tho certainly not the worst, kind of middle of the road, when they eventually joined the church and became nuns to turn their lives around. though their old lives catch up to them and they're murdered in the church one night. their deaths causes the cathedral to be condemned and abandoned. a couple decades later, the dairy king buys the property and refurbishes it into a manor that he lives in until he passes, which is then where vlad steps in

vlad's a powerful ghost, and the way im assuming haunting works is that powerful ghosts claim territory to.... haunt yknow? dannys having territory spats with other ghosts because amity is his home/haunt, that kind of thing lol. so vlad's already OP as hell, by the time he's become rich enough to buy the manor he's highly respected as a millionaire and highly feared as plasmius (the wisconsin ghost? he probably has a cool moniker people use LOL). im sure vlad had no problem forcefully expelling ghosts from his territory and.... destroying them? second killing? who knows man lol afterlife makes that difficult to explain.

vlad makes quick work of getting rid of any ghosts that try to stay in the manor the second he moves in. lee and la arent the most powerful ghosts in the area, but they are the most prominent since their murder caused a lot of folklore to surround the church, and theyre the most attached to it and dont want to leave it behind.

they're also scared enough of plasmius that i imagine they just cry and beg and grovel at vlads feet begging him to let them stay and they'll do anything. vlad atp i feel would do all of the "dirty work" himself when it comes to ghost stuff, so he thinks maybe they wouldnt be so bad to take on as errand girls. so he does, he lets them stay under the condition they do whatever he tells them to whenever he says. they agree instantly

vlad in the show is def not above manipulating, threatening, or paying off others to do dirty work for him, so i think itd be cool or smth to have lee and la be the ones that were first added to the plasmius payroll. and then the buzzards, and the others, etc.

itd be funny i think that they're reoccuring side kicks that are this mix of like. team rocket but not as incompetent, but they are kind of goofy. they annoy the hell out of vlad when he's near them though, which has become more often since i think to pass them off to other people he'd act like they're his secretaries or something. or like their job and relation towards vlad changes everytime we see them like how team rocket always have different disguises LOOOL. tho they prob have to cover up more and stuff to not look... yknow... dead. i like to think ppl in danny phantom can be more or less sensitive to spiritual stuff, so the more sensitive you are the more lee and la would cause your creep factor to go off.

so for bitter reunions they probably dont do much except protect the buzzard ghosts for phantom and then skedaddle when plasmius shows up to fight him. they probably act as vlads "hired help" for throwing the reunion and jack makes a horrible first impression on both of them somehow. idk i just think itd be really funny if they hated jack and maddie HAHA.

idk to me vlad has a "scar and the hyenas" from the lion king vibe with them. hes like "god im surrounded by idiots" everytime he hears them speak

though i guess one important thing to note is that theyre Not his daughters! the whole point with these two is to emphasize the fact that plasmius is lonely. danny has two friends that, despite danny's immense power, are all equal. they love eachother, look out for eachother and care for eachother no matter what. lee and la may liven up the room whenever they're around, but they're ultimately scared of vlad and stick around for their own sake. over the years they've probably come to like him some, but they're still driven by fear. they're not equals, theyre underlings.

TONE DEAF :: Rosita and Norman <3

The first in a [hopefully] series of redesign + headcanon posts where I give you my take on a character for my AU

I'm grouping the two together because a] a lot of fluff headcanons I have, they share [because they're literally husband and wife]. And b] if I made an individual post for every single character, I... would go insane. So yeah. A bunch of characters are gonna get clumped together.

[FULL MASTERPOST HERE [yet to be made <3]]

HEADCANONS // BACKSTORY ⬇️

Me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic [also autistic]

Both of them are the same age, mid to late thirties.

In terms of general intelligence: Rosita has gifted IQ, while Norman is at genius level.

I know. I know Norman seems kinda dim in the movies. But guys [LMAO]. "I know it looks like there's nothing happening behind those eyes, but...... he can make entire computers!"

He's so smart yet so stupid. He's that kind of character. Like he can do all of this super impressive shit, and is super talented and can do math like BOOM done, but he's also kinda a "deer-in-the-headlights" when it comes to life [I LOVE HIM 👹]

Both of them worked hard and have their college degrees almost completely paid off at this point because of the scholarships they earned.

Rosita has a degree in engineering, Norman's a computer scientist.

They're both in STEM, it's just that Rosita likes to handle more of the mechanical aspects of things while Norman's better with the technical stuff, which I think is cute af.

Yin and Yang <3

This dynamic is just how they are too. How they act. Like for example, Rosita can be very to-the-point-

She's very much a problem solver and will get right to it once she understands what she's doing. Like yeah, she often takes a very methodical approach to it [see the scene where she's got all the papers laid out to try and learn to dance- very new territory for her], but once she learns, she gos all in. And EATS.

Norman's gotta have a plan before doing anything, meanwhile. He has a morning routine that can't be interrupted or else his whole day and mood will be thrown off. He reads through a recipe twice before even starting. That kind of stuff.

He's a lot more hesitant to even try.

A lot of people find Norman boring. But Rosita is enraptured by every word he says, she LOVES his long spiels about hyper-specific [and often mundane] things.

AAAA--

Norman is also a closeted DORK. He ran a tabletop games club in highschool with a couple other of his geeky ass friends [he's still into D&D to this day and has introduced Rosita to the game too]

[she's fun to play with, but super competitive. This goes for ANY game, actually, not just D&D. She'll kinda accidentally turn everything into a "contest" due to her inability to not do her very best] [it's mostly inspirational, not annoying, if that makes sense?]

I also wanna say Norman was in a weird amount of drama that he didn't want to be in at this time. Like all of his friends had falling-outs, and he was just always caught in the middle of it.

He's afraid of confrontation [UNLESS IT'S FOR HIS WIFE] [HE STANDS UP FOR HER RAHHHH] [this is gonna happen when I get to rewriting Sing 2, he's NOT just gonna take Crystal calling his WIFE "mommy pig"]

They're sooo "excuse me, he asked for no pickles"

Norman and Rosita technically met in high school, in Junior year when Norman first moved to Calatonia.

WHICH, he and his family did this because this was a point in time where laws having to do with the rights of animals were VERY flimsy, and Calatonia was one of the first and only safe places at the time-- for Pigs especially, actually.

The 3 Little Pigs is deadass CANON TO SING. So Pigs were/are actually a marginalized species in this universe.

[[during the warring period that I have yet to really talk about, they were often victims of the anarchy and poaching, so stigmas and insults around them still exist to this day]]

[[[[see Jimmy Crystal]]]]

So anyway, they "met" in high school- Norman totally crushed on Rosita from afar whenever he'd catch her in volleyball matches-

Rosita had a major tomboy phase throughout high school, slowly falling out of it during college [still only saves dresses and skirts for special occasions really]

[[Fun fact, Rosita is also sapiosexual [attracted to intelligence] [Roxanne Ritchi ahh] ]]

[[Norman is bi]]

They actually got introduced to eachother and had a proper arc when they went to the same college [which might've been a college in Redshore actually? But I'm not 100% sure on that headcanon. It would line up since Rosita's "wanted to perform in Redshore since she was a little kid" and Redshore is obviously a massive city with a lot of notoriety. Idk though- and it's not really that important to the story anyways]

Norman and Rosita had plans together- they were gonna make it big and live freely. Things were looking up with the lawmakers, who were finally repealing a bunch of nasty stuff that was put in place during the war times. And the two had hope that their dreams could actually be accomplished.

Rosita, who was originally gonna play it safe and become an engineer, was now thinking about attempting to become a performer [which Norman has supported since the beginning, he LOVES her singing, and often tells her that she's "better than some of the people I've heard on TV!"]

But. Life got in the way...

Present day, Norman works in Redshore at Crystal Enterprises. He's the head of some sort of organizational team- not really working on what he loves at this point.

And this is because of their children, who were a very sudden appearance in their lives [which is why we see so much struggle in the chaos at the beginning of the movie in this AU]

Rosita stopped everything, and Norman grabbed the first high-ish paying job he could, spending all his spare time on clocking in overtime hours.

The kids are all adopted, and there's only 6 now: Oldest Caspar [13], twin boys Mickey and Moe [11], middle child Kelly [9], little bro Freddy[8], and Zoey the sweet baby sister [6].

They became foster parents after the death of Rosita's sister [this hc is kinda subject to change, but this is the story rn. I'll specify on this later ☝️]

So Rosita's kinda put her life on hold for these babies. She's such a great mom to them, and they love her and Norman so much

But some of the older kids [Caspar specifically] are kinda in a rough phase since they feel like she resents them [which she doesn't], or that she isn't their "real mom" [which she IS]

This is like an E plot in the story, but definitely's gonna get at least a little bit of focus.

Rosita and Norman's marriage is falling apart just a little bit due to burnout, but it'll get better <3 [I can't do anything tragic to these two they're too sweet]

Norman snuggles up to Rosita in his sleep. Rosita starfishes LMAO

They wake up entangled. This is normal.

"Pig piles" are also a thing- there have been several nights where all six children "had nightmares" and so the family of 8 all slept in the same bed.

Norman has the best bond with the two girls out of all the children. They immediately latched onto him to be their level-headed dad.

Rosita can carry two kids at once easily, and often "relocates" them like this :>

She's probably the strongest out of everyone in the troupe if you don't count the potential Meena has. She solos.

She's constantly taking notes on everyone and everything around her. At the theater, you'll catch her tidying stuff up she spots out of the corner of her vision while you're having a conversation with her [she's still listening]. She knows everyones favorite foods, and allergies, and their preferences in things, etc. She's the most attentive and considerate out of all of them [the mom]

She may have a touch of OCD.

She gives the best hugs.

Rosita is also a FANTASTIC cook [not even a headcanon, I'm pretty sure the entire fandom agrees on this one] and often bakes stuff for her sweet-toothed children [and husband]

This is actually how she initially connected with Caspar, who refused to eat or speak at first when they were all placed with Rosita.

Cinnamon rolls.

Kelly will only eat the frosting off the top, and has ruined an entire pan before by doing this.

Rosita actually isn't the biggest fan of chocolate, small detail.

Idk why she just strikes me as not being an enjoyer.

Loves vanilla though. People are furious when she answers "vanilla" with zero hesitation to the chocolate vs vanilla question.

Norman is kinda a hopeless romantic, or at least really enjoys the aesthetic of it [in a sweet and not shallow way ofc], and goes all out every Valentine's Day: balloons, flowers, the works. He's learned that Rosita prefers strawberries over a box of chocolates, however. Has a tradition of getting a fruit basket for her <3

They also have a tradition from all the way back in college, where they go out to eat at specifically the in-universe equivalent of Olive Garden [which was the fanciest thing they could afford at the time] and eat a shared giant plate of spaghetti.

Norman loves coffee. Insists he likes it black but actually prefers a good 50:50 ratio of creamer and coffee.

Norman is also ☝️ lactose intolerant LMAO

[[or would be, if traditional milk was widely accessible/a thing. I say "lactose intolerant" but what I really mean is he's allergic to most milk substitutes- like nuts and soy [gives him tummy ache, not anaphylaxis] ]]

God, parenthesis are carrying me so hard rn.

Stopping here because I'm tired, but I could go ON about these two omg-

Normita forever rahhhh <3

[jollmaster]

if Aisleverse were to play out like of hazbin, how would you change it?

Like, what events in the episodes(or the episodes themselves) play out? Example: masquerade (idk if angel works for val in this au-)

well :D

I'll try to roughly describe how I would fit this into three seasons/thirty episodes (I don't see any reason to stretch the story out too much)

so here comes THE PLOT

season 1

meeting Charlie, Vega and their startup (a shelter for sinners during Exterminations), Charlie's meeting to Alastor and Niffty; Vega, of course, suspects that Alastor is just out for some further gain, and Niffty is just living life and doesn't mind working

information about Charlie's childhood, growing up and views in the first half of the season: we should know very well what motivates her and why she thought about injustice against sinners

story of her failed marriage to Seviathan, independent motherhood and the fact that even with all this, Seviathan helped her with the building of the asile

overall the first season focuses on simple local stories, basic world building and basic character information

but, of course, with hints that Vega has secrets, and Angel Dust hired as a janitor for a reason, being absolutely terrible at household chores

the only one with whom everything is crystal clear at the moment is Niffty, but without delving into her mortal past, because she doesn't remember much; it's known where she worked before Charlie's orphanage, and her connection to the Cannibal town and its governor is well-known

Alastor is a charming sarcastic lad, and Charlie is annoyed by that, but they're fun to flirt with each other, nothing serious

the small season boss is sir Pentious, but he works as a comedy villain

wake-up call boss is Valentino, and the story gets even darker by the finale; Angel worked for him as a security guard for prostitutes for a dose of drugs and has a vague idea of the inner workings of the sinners-overlord system

Vees as the main villains will be gone for a second season while enough Valentino

Charlie helps Angel finally get away from Valentino, by breaking their magical blood contract thanks to her half-brother, Asmodeus (Valentino is tainted by Asmodeus' blood), and it gives you reason to think that Charlie's been holding back A LOT about family ties

cliffhanger: Vees triumvirate and a hint that the main characters will have PROBLEMS with them

season 2

the beginning of the season is the meeting of the overlords through Alastor; among all the others, we get to know lady Rosie fully for the first time and learn about her and Alastor's acquaintance

there's no intrigue: they're JUST husband and wife in "couple who have been friends for a long time, but married for smth like ~10 years by human standards and still full of passion (in a non-sexual way)" stage, that's all

yes, Alastor has a personal life, and he's just a man

Charlie doesn't know it yet; however, Charlie quickly learns of Alastor's marital status when he decides to make more useful connections and decides to meet the local dark elf neighborhood governoress in person

in response to the question "why didn't you tell me you're married?" Alastor replies "you didn't ask"

more information about overlords (some of them try to save and care for people, some of them just use ones; story about Angel's family and Salvatore's sect)

again simple stories, but with a tighter focus on the characters and their pasts

Husk, who was introduced in the first season in a "haha funny grumpy cat that Niffty found in the attic" way and who slowly became local psychologist, turns out to be more complicated, and much older

he has no connection to Alastor, except that Alastor has caught his sunset as an overlord, and Husk prefers to keep the status quo and not talk about it MUCH

in general, this is where we learn more about Alastor, including his past; he has no long-range plans, he is absolutely satisfied with his current position

Pentious moves from hostility to neutral status and makes a truce with Cherri Bomb, Angel's friend who once helped him to escape from Valentino's tower; they start to become friends on the background of common interests, but so far very cautiously

Charlie visits Eden again, and Emily meets her already as an older friend; Charlie asks her to find more information on her friends-sinners, as he notices that it is the preservation of their sanity and memory that helps them to hold up better in the atmosphere of Sheol

in general, in the second season Charlie discovers that she can not only give the sinners shelter during the Exterminations, but also cure their mentality

speaking of the Exterminations: since the timeline of events is five years, they happen, but Adam's face and Adam himself remain a mystery to us (we know the exorcist leader's name, but haven't seen him in person)

Vees are the main villains, and Vox's conflict with Alastor is not so much forceful as ideological: Vox heavily clings to human life and customs, Alastor argues that a new order must be adopted

in the final episode Velvette brings the exorcist's head

cliffhanger: Adam in Eden removes helmet, but his face is NOT shown yet

season 3

no one knows yet that the finale is going to be fucked up

the beginning of the season is a celebration of the last days of the Week of the world creation: the main characters have bonded enough and we've gotten used to the local world enough to show that Sheol can be very friendly and creative

how sad it would be if suddenly things got even WORSE! COCYTUS BREAK AND LONG WINTER

yay, a reason to update the skins

Adam doesn't agree to remove Exterminations JUST because of winter (oh please, you're like children)

Charlie has a beef with her father, who didn't deign to warn her, knowing she had important business to attend to

in the first half of the third season, Lucifer Morningstar is introduced face-to-face fully (he's only appeared in Charlie's past and flashbacks before, not near his daughter in current timeline), and we sure even more that he's a crappy father and a tired millennial ruler who doesn't care about posterity

full disclosure of their history with Adam, albeit only from Lucifer's perspective (shown in such a way that we realize HOW unreliable he's as a narrator)

Naamah, Lucifer's fourth wife, is surprisingly friendly to Alastor and happy to see him; Alastor is confused because he doesn't yet know that he is only the FOURTEEN person in the entire story to survive eating the flesh of a demon

Pentious, who in the season 2 finale decides to join Charlie's gang, finally becomes their friend and bromances with Cherri

Vega's final closing arc, because Charlie becomes convinced of her origins; however, it's a secret that everyone guessed (Vega is clearly older than she said, clearly not just a prostitute and behaves more like a brawler)

no one puts it to her fault, especially Husk, who knew about it from the beginning; they're close friends, and Husk is used to keeping quiet about the past if it doesn't affect anyone

it's this season's final confrontation with Adam and the destruction of the asile (we're already attached to this place)

ofc some hellborns, include part of cannibal branch and local rural imps, help them

sir P dies, one of Charlie's dragon sons dies, all get traumas

Charlie takes her full form, and Adam is amazed that she's, well, a human girl in appearance

Charlie resolves the issue of bloodshed through a raised level of diplomacy; Adam doesn't agree to stop the Exterminations because it's a form of mercy and end to eternal suffering (sinners don't die fully unless their throats are slit with sacred steel)

Charlie is forced to agree with him, but unexpectedly Adam rebukes Lucifer for his obligation to allow sinners to be purified through Purgatory: Lucifer closed it when Adam started Exterminations after the first Crusade

final boss is LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR

Lucifer doesn't give the appearance of being happy to see him; after short (and almost failure for him) fight he, in his usual dismissive manner, allows Charlie to open Purgatory and become its mistress

somewhere in Eden sir Pentious is freaking out that after death he is human again and can walk on his feet

somewhere in Sheol Nifty is freaking out that she has both eyes back to normal and less headaches

redemption works even through death and rebirth, and the process of body rebirth can be reversed through a good attitude and restored sanity

Charlie's gang in final epilogue episode

winter has ended, spring has come

Charlie becomes the queen of Purgatory and continues to help mortals

Razzle stays with her as dragon son bodyguard, so Charlie is the mother of dragon literally

Vega and Angel remain her most loyal companions

Vega refuses to return to Eden because she believes she will be more useful here, in a place where humans have a hard time

she finds her father in the foreshadowing of Sheol, on the banks of Styx (he kept sanity and body), and bursts in tears after his "hello, María, my little girl" (her mortal name is María de la Vega); it's the first time when we see how she's crying

Angel preaches to sinners, being a sinner himself who has traveled a difficult path, and hopes to redeem and meet his sister in future

now we're free; will see you again, but not yet, not yet

Alastor says "my work here is done" and leaves to live his best life in Sheol: he's returning to half-woods-half-civilized roots as the most natural life for someone between human and deer

at least, he's a part of this world now like Goethe's Erlking, and he really loves this world

Cherri Bomb stays close to Purgatory with her recently deceased brother, Aidan, and one-eyed crow demon Frank (he was sir P's beloved egg boy), whom she promised Pentious to take care of

she also helps humans and has finally begun to uncover her badly scarred face (she ties up her hair with Pentious' scarf, which he gave her shortly before his death)

sir Pentious himself befriends Emily, helping her explore the question of redemption further, but the memories and scales on hands are forever with him

Niffty basically doesn't care, but for now she helps Charlie while continuing to be friends with Alastor and Rosie, for whom she's become a named niece or even almost an adopted child

Husk plays off the "Walking the Earth" trope, symbolically returning to his nomadic roots and carrying Charlie's word across the lands of Sheol

when Husk is asked what his name was when he was alive (he's the only one from Charlie's gang whose real name was never known), Husk laughs and says that it doesn't matter no more

we can choose to be better 🎵🎶

Villains in Casino - Ellis and the Dangerous Game

*Fan translation for funsies! IP owned by Cybird, translations are my own and may be inaccurate. See About page for more info.*

:readmore:

We infiltrated a casino on a mission,

and because we were disguised as waiters, we ran around the floor.

Female Waitress

"Next, please bring this drink!"

Neema

"Yes, ma’am!"

Casino Dealer

"Waiter there, bring me the drinks for our guests."

Ellis

"Okay, I got it."

Finally, it was time for a break, and we leaned against the wall and checked each other's information.

Ellis

"So far, nothing seems suspicious. I haven't seen any illegal transactions."

Neema

"Was it really just a rumor?"

Rumors of illegal transactions happening in the casino reached Her Majesty's ears, so we decided to go undercover, but so far we haven't seen any problems.

Ellis

"Maybe it's best to come back another day to investigate as a customer."

Neema

"That's true..."

Perhaps because we'd been running around the floor, Ellis looked unusually tired and I looked gaunt.

I turn my attention to the floor, thinking that if I can't get any more information, maybe I should go back out and try again.

A surreal space with sparkling chandeliers, excited people, and large sums of money constantly moving around.

(Everywhere is sparkling... Everyone looks like they're having fun.)

As I squint my eyes at the dazzling world, suddenly Ellis speaks.

Ellis

"Shall we try it, too?"

Neema

"Huh?"

Ellis

"Gambling. You seemed interested in it when you first got here."

(He noticed that ・・・・・・)

I don't have a taste for gambling, but the air of fun has piqued my interest.

Ellis

“I'll be the dealer and we'll both try it. Is the game Boker okay?"

He pulls me by the hand and we move to a secluded table, facing each other.

Ellis

"What should we bet? We don't have any chips."

Neema

"How about a punishment game? Maybe something that bothers each other a little."

Ellis

"That sounds fun."

As I watch him shuffle the cards, I think about a lot of things.

(That's it!)

There's something that the always kind Ellis-kun might be a little annoyed about.

And that's...

Neema

"If I win, how about no kissing for a week?"

Ellis

"Ehhh..."

In an instant, his hands stopped shuffling the cards and a look of despair appeared on his face.

There's something amusing about that face, and it awakens my mischievous side.

Neema

“I'll go with no kissing. What about you, Ellis?"

Ellis

"I've decided too."

Ellis deals 5 cards with his lips tightened.

Ellis

“I won't lose, I'll stop what Neema-san is up to.”

He stared at his cards with more enthusiasm than usual and changed two cards.

I changed three cards, but could only get one pair.

Ellis

“Are you ready?"

Neema

"Okay, here we go!"

We both show our cards on the table at the same time.

I have one pair, and Ellis has two pairs.

He wins.

(Too bad, I lost.)

I drop my shoulders and look away from the cards.

(Come to think of it, I didn't hear about Ellis' punishment game.)

I look up and see him staring at me, his eyes locked on mine.

Neema

“Congratulations, Ellis, you win.”

Ellis

"Thank you."

He walks around the table and stands next to me, looking down at me.

Neema

"By the way, what's the punishment for you winning, Ellis?”

In an instant, my lips are stolen.

My thoughts melt away as he kisses me so passionately that I feel like I'm being devoured, and when I reach for his chest his lips finally part.

Ellis

"If I win..."

But then his eyes meet my own, filled with heat.

Ellis

"In one week, I'll kiss you so much that your lips will be red and swollen."

Neema

"Huh?"

Ellis

"The moment you said you wouldn't allow me to kiss you, I thought of doing the exact opposite if I won."

Ellis-kun stroked my cheek with a dreamy look on his face, and gave me a sweet, intoxicating smile.

Ellis

"I won't stop even if my lips get cut or swollen."

Ellis

"Let's keep kissing, Neema-san."

My lips were sealed again, I regretted what I had said.

The sweet, indulgent kiss was like a slow-acting poison, driving me crazy and preventing me from ever going back.

Stop believing fandom trolls and giving them attention

The severe lack of critical thinking skills some people have in this fandom astounds me. Seriously, why do they even pay attention to this bunch of bored narcissists playing the victim card with a clear superiority complex? And if you try to point it out to them, we are the bitter arses ruining the fun for everyone. The audacity of this group who insists to insinuate that they are somehow connected to Louis' entourage is so annoying, frustrating and tiring.  

But the thing that irritates me the most, besides the fact that they are larries (as if people didn't hate us enough already and call us with all the derogatory terms that infer some level of mental illness) is the amount of fans - even quite adults - who will believe (or pretend to believe) anything regardless of how unreliable and obviously false it is, as long as it fits their narrative and fantasies. And I’m genuinely concerned to see how many people are ok with this behaviour. It’s insane to me.  

I will never tire of repeating that, as much as they try to say that their intentions were innocent, the fact that they never explicitly stated it but only said it once they were exposed, is a clear sign that their intentions were malicious. They intentionally deceived people. Their entertainment comes from making fun of other fans and misleading them. You can still make a fun and nice distraction without fooling people and engage with them with full transparency. But they are so intoxicated by their arrogance, that they fail to see how they have contributed to making this fandom a less safe space for everyone.  It brings nothing but stress and anxiety at the very last, and people certainly will think more than twice before approaching and interacting. This is the kind of shit that kills a fandom.  

Behind these trolls accounts, even when they say “but it’s just for fun, it’s not that deep”, the damage is done the minute they create them and don’t make it clear what’s what. Because when you see more and more fans genuinely believing and interacting hoping that Louis is behind it, or that is someone with “insider info”, or even just someone from his team to do promo and marketing, they have made a conscious choice to continue undaunted to keep quiet and prolong this charade. The fun they talk about is one-sided, the purpose is for their own amusement, only to entertain themselves, and sadly it’s done on the backs of others by taking advantage of their emotions. The damage they’ve done is no less dangerous than physical damage. And I am sorry if I appear intransigent, but some things are not to be trifled with.   

We have seen it all in this fandom, and there also have been really dangerous accounts in the past. The fandom is mostly made up of women, many are very young, teens or even underage who are easily persuaded by emotion without reasonable evidence. To always pass these behaviours off as goliardia remains morally unacceptable to me. It's not ok at all. These people wanted to do harm and even after they've been exposed and their evidences debunked (not doxxed as they falsely claim, literally no one from that account has been doxxed and that's another attempt of them playing the victim card and pushing their agenda), are back at it with their intentional deception. They're still misleading fans, and it’s so scary how easily people believe random accounts. They are not the first and most likely will not be the last either, but what is even sadder is that not only they hurt us fans, but also hurt Louis, and Harry. They see them only as fictional characters to be used for their own amusement, rather than as human beings like us. It’s unacceptable and there is no justification, and I’m sorry but if someone tries to say that all of this is normal or don’t see how much problematic is, then they too are part of the problem.

Loosen Up

Parties have never been much of Spencer's scene, luckily you've got no problem helping him calm down.

Warnings: Sub Spencer, Dom Reader, male fingering, male orgasm, choking, praise, finger gagging, lots of spit.

WC: 2.0K

You walked through the crowded party with Spencer’s hand in yours, and as usual, you were the one dragging him around as he aimlessly followed with an uneasy expression on his face. 

Looking back at him over your shoulder, you smile and tease him.

“You look like you’re enjoying yourself.”

He stops walking and turns to you with an annoyed look. His response is nothing short of sarcastic.

"How couldn't I be? A room full of strangers, loud music I didn't choose, and the possibility of being touched by people who don't understand boundaries? Sounds like a great time."

Your eyebrows furrow a bit and you give him a small pout, tightening your grip on his hand for reassurance.

“Hey, loosen up a little baby.. I’m just teasing.”

Spencer sighs and lets out a little chuckle despite himself, and he tightens his grip back on your hand. 

"I know you're teasing. But I just wish I could enjoy situations like these. They're just uncomfortable and stressful. And I don't see how anybody can feel otherwise."

You pull him over to an empty spot on an otherwise full couch, making sure you’re sitting as close as possible to him to help him ease his nerves. You extend your legs over his lap and give him a hopeful smile.

“Well, I enjoy them. I like being around everyone, seeing people enjoy themselves and having fun, what’s not to enjoy?”

He glances over at you and smiles affectionately as you take a seat, placing his head on your shoulder and leaning against you.

"It's just.. too much stimulation for me. It's noisy, bright, and crowded. There’re so many people I don't know, and they're all moving and talking and trying to touch me."

He looks over at you and smiles.

"It's nice to be here with you, though. That helps a lot."

As he speaks about his discomfort, you sigh and look around the large living room full of people. 

No one would notice if you two slipped away for a moment. You look back to Spencer and lean in to suggest a solution.

“Do you wanna get away for a bit? Maybe it’ll help calm you down?”

His eyebrows raise and he nods enthusiastically. He leans back against you and wraps his arm around your waist, looking off to the side for a moment before glancing back at you and saying in a whispered plea.

"Yes please."

Nodding, you’re quick to stand up and drag him along with you. He’s got one hand situated on the curve of your waist and one that’s awkwardly shoved in his pocket to attempt to make himself look smaller.

There’s a staircase that leads you to the second floor of the house, and you’re almost surprised to find how empty it is despite the large number of attendees.

You gently push open one of the doors that line the hallway, and Spencer doesn’t think twice before pushing himself in and walking inside in a hurried panic.

The quiet of the space immediately calms him, and he relaxes for the first time since arriving at the party. He doesn’t have a chance to speak, as before he can even turn around to look at you, you’re grabbing him by his neck and shoving him down on a couch situated in the middle of the room.

He lets out a soft yelp as he falls on the couch, and he looks up at you in confusion and a little bit of fear.

“W-what are you doing?!" He gasps and attempts to sit up, but you shove him back down before he can.

With the hand that’s wrapped around his neck, you loosen two fingers and reach them up to shove them in his mouth and make his jaw go slack. Spencer lets out a gasp of surprise and makes a noise of protest when you don’t remove them.

“Shh baby, you’re fine.”

You coo as you sit yourself down on his lap and begin littering his face with wet kisses.

"Mmmph mm," He mumbles into your hand as you kiss him, his eyebrows furrowed with confusion. 

“Shh shh, that’s a good boy. Wet those for me, baby.” 

You murmur in his ear, finally letting go of his neck in favor of further shoving the two fingers down his throat. You can feel the crude sloshing of his spit and tongue slithering against your digits, and it only makes things better.

There’s a distinct tent in his pants, and your lower body begins to slowly gain friction against him.

His breath hitches and he glances around to the room, making sure nobody is around to see what is happening. "Mmmf," he mumbles against your fingers, his saliva covering them and his jaw still limp as he stares up at you.

Spencer calls out your name in a breathless whimper, not quite wanting to protest what’s happening but also not knowing how to feel about it.

You continue to press your fingers against his tongue as you mouth at his sweaty neck, licking over the dampened skin as you mumble against it. “Take your pants off, baby.”

He whimpers when you lick his neck, and he glances down to his lap, his face flushing a bright red in embarrassment. But nonetheless, he obeys.

“Good boy..”

You praise and move out of the way to allow him to strip himself for you. As he’s pushing the denim down his legs, you’re slowly sinking to your knees in front of him. 

Once his pants reach his ankles, you grow impatient and yank the rest of the garment off for him. 

His pale thighs tremble around your head as you look up at him with a morbid expression of satisfaction. His entire body jumps and his eyes squeeze shut as he feels your soaked middle finger prod at his tight hole.

“Come on baby, loosen up a bit for me alright? Just wanna help you.”

Spencer nods the best he can as his veiny hands grasp and fist at the fabric of the couch beneath his sweat slicked body. His entire being is tense in nervousness, so it’s no surprise you’re not finding much luck in an easy entry.

Your finger teasingly circles his hole, spreading the sticky spit all over his most intimate area, making him tremble even more at how positively aroused and terrified he was. 

His once tense legs relax a bit, and you can feel himself presenting to you easier than before. The first knuckle pushes in with a great resistance, just barely allowing you any room to work with. 

You sigh and press a soft kiss to his inner thigh before speaking gently to him, as if he were that of a baby animal.

“Let me help you, love.”

Spencer’s chest heaves and he looks as though he might break down, but with a quiet moan he allows his body to go slack and let you have your way. He trusts you. 

The tight muscle practically sucks you in with how absolutely tight he is. His spit makes for a slick entrance, and the feeling immediately has him in shambles.

“Oh, there you go, pretty thing..”

The disheveled brunet drops his jaw in a deep moan, unheard by the crowd as the loud bass of the music booms from under your lap.

His eyes were still glued shut, almost too far gone without even taking another step forward. When the skin of his ass meets your hand, you sigh dreamily and gently twist the digit inside of him. 

He’s warm, just as you expected, and so so tight around you. When you try pulling your finger out, one of his shaking hands reaches out to your wrist and holds you in place. Spencer lets out a soft whine and shakes his head.

“N-No.. Stay in.” 

You nod, not wanting to upset him in this state. He was so very vulnerable, spread wide for you on some strangers' couch, warm slick walls pulling you in deeper, it was just what he needed and he didn’t even know it. 

“You want more, baby?”

Spencer shakes his head and he slowly lets go of your wrist, giving you the control, putting this into your hands once again. 

You curl your finger inside of him, making a hook as you carefully calculate your movements and don’t break your stare from his face. 

He looked like heaven. His fuzzy eyebrows furrowed in an overwhelming pleasure, and his mouth dropped wide open as a flurry of whimpers and whines sung about. 

As you begin a scooping motion, his thighs thrash beside your head and you place a firm hand on his knee as a silent warning. 

You hadn’t quite found his spot yet, but you knew you could. You’d just need a bit of help.

“How’s that feeling, Spence?”

And although your voice sounds blurry and distant to him in this euphoric state, he finds it in himself to be good and answer you.

“G-Good..” 

You tilt your head to the side and begin to thrust deeper into him. His small moans spurred you on, but you didn’t want “good” right now. 

“Just good?” You curl your finger even more and thrust into him with greater vigor. “How about now, baby?”

Spencer’s breathing grows more labored and you can hear each huff of warm air coming from his nose with every harsh thrust you dealt to him. You felt so good inside of him it was driving him crazy, he involuntarily opened his eyes for just a moment as they crossed in pure ecstasy.

“F-Feels.. re—really really good..”

You pout and let out a sound of dejection at his answer. Now “really good” just wasn’t good enough.

Sticking your tongue out, you let a glob of your spit drop onto your ring finger and look up at him to make sure he was still distracted with the middle one already as deep as possible.

“You think we can do better than that?”

Before he’s even got it in him to respond to you, you’re shoving your ring finger alongside your middle finger inside of his warm wet cavern. The sounds are slick and downright obscene, and it surely doesn’t help how his noises increase in both volume and intensity.

As you curl both fingers inside of him and finally hit that mind numbing spot inside of him, his eyes shoot open for the first time and he almost screams out in pleasure. The spot feels gummy and you know it’s the right spot by the way both hands reach out to grasp onto something. 

His left hand reaches out to grab at your hair, and the right hand reaches down to death grip your wrist and shove it even deeper between his legs. 

“Mmn—fuck, fuck. O-Oh.. Oh my god..”

He whimpers in a broken chorus of bliss, all accented by the sharp and persistent thrusts you’re still battering into his spot. 

It’s not long at all before his grip tightens on both accounts and his hips are bucking wildly in the air and he’s shooting ribbons of his release onto his chest and chin. 

“Fuck—I can’t.. I-I can’t stop.”

So neither do you, fingers still fucking him with a fiery passion that simply can’t die down now; Not when sticky ropes of white hot arousal drop against his hips and even drip down his shaft. 

“Pl—Please.. I can’t..”

Spencer cries out and throws his head back against the cushions once more, begging you to take him out of whatever arousal induced panic he was in. 

It’s only when you finally take your fingers out of the slick hole does he stop cumming all over himself. 

You sit back against your heels and sigh happily at the mess you’ve made, admiring how absolutely horribly you’ve defiled this man.

He’s somehow got cum on his face, dripping down his cheekbones and chin, and his heaving chest was positively covered in his arousal.

“How was that?”

You question with a cocky grin adorned in your face, and you’re so satisfied you’re not even bothered with the way your fingers are drenched  and soaking into the expensive fabric of your dress.

Spencer’s neck cranes up and he looks down at you with an expression that was nothing short of fucked, and he’s lost all shame for himself in this moment he’s got no problem admitting it to you.

“D-Definitely better..”

Poppy character development appreciation post!

In Branch's old pod, when Poppy says he can talk to her, she pays full attention, never takes her eyes off him, and when he hesitates she continues to smile patiently. In World Tour, while he's trying to talk to her, she has her back to him and is focusing on watering the flowers, and when he hesitates, she only half pays attention.

When a friendly but random stranger picks up Branch who is clearly not liking to be thrown around, Poppy doesn't laugh about it or go along with it. And instead of saying politely, "hey, excuse me, could you please put him down", she literally snaps at JD, "STOP, PUT HIM DOWN RIGHT NOW". (and of course she refers to Branch as her boyfriend🥰)

"JD is only here because he needs something". When JD confirms that's true, Poppy could've said, "Nah, there's more to it than that", and JD could've said, "Yeah, Floyd's in danger..." and Poppy would've gone "See, told you..." Instead, she gives JD a deadpan look and says flatly, "C'mon, I'm trying here." Again, blunt and not Queen Poppy's usual giddy politeness.

Poppy wants to hear the full story of how she and Viva got separated, whereas before Poppy would've accepted Viva's vague explanation like, "Oh well, we're together now, everything's cupcakes and rainbows!" Now, Poppy recognizes Viva is changing the subject to avoid discussing negative feelings, and thanks to Branch, Poppy now knows that sugarcoating everything is not the way to deal with your problems. Also, Poppy is patient and gentle with Viva - she understands this is a sensitive / painful topic for her sister, and isn't pestering, "C'mon, tell me, tell me, I gotta know!"

In Trolls 1, when Cloud Guy teases Branch who clearly is not amused, Poppy laughs despite the life or death situation they're in. In Trolls 3, when JD teases Branch about wearing a smaller diaper, Poppy doesn't find it funny and doesn't say something like "Oh, come on, Branch, just go with it, have fun!"

When Branch tells Poppy he didn't need his brothers growing up and doesn't need them now, Poppy doesn't object or try to convince him to go back and make it work with them anyway. She just follows him, supporting him in the way he needs: being there for him no matter what. Since things didn't work out with Viva, Poppy realized family is indeed complicated.

When Poppy stops Branch from walking away, she doesn't only say, "I've always been by your side, give me some credit". She says how they've been by each other's sides. She didn't get annoyed that he implied she'll leave him, because she sees now that he's afraid of losing her like he lost his brothers and his grandma. She tells him she's not going anywhere in a sincere tone, not being silly or dismissive.

At Mount Rageous, Branch is the one taking the lead / making the plans while Poppy supports it and follows his lead. She isn't being reckless with Branch blindly following along, and she isn't making light of the situation (like in the first movie she scrapbooks his plan. Also, her 'plan' is to 'rescue everyone and make it home safely', which Branch points out is not a plan. Now she's helping him formulate an actual plan). When trying to get onto the yacht, she asks Branch, "What do we do?" She now is willing to listen to him and respects that he can be a leader, not just her.

Poppy very bluntly points out Velvet/Veneer's bad behaviour. No trying to justify it, no trying to change their minds with kind words and catchy songs, no asking nicely to let Brozone go - she screams that their phonies in front of a massive crowd, and the way she's angrily pacing tells me she wanted to say something worse. A huge change from Movie 1 and Movie 2 Poppy.

The protective-hand-reaching forward thing that Branch has always done to Poppy - she did to him!

BONUS - development from both Branch and Poppy: when she goes on her sister rant and he snaps her out of it, he starts shouting her name then softens, while she realizes what she's doing, snaps out of it, instantly calms down and gets to the point.

Here are some other great Poppy development posts I came across:

[signanothername]

if it's not too much, can i ask how you headcanon the murder time trio? since they're not exactly "canon" to any of the stories from their respective original artists, it's interesting to see how different people interpret them :)) tbh, i do feel like, from nightmare's pov, having more personal henchmen seems... risky in a way, as that means exposing killer to other outside influences that he can't fully control. like, what if killer starts to have ideas (organizing a henchmen union for example lol) - new people are interesting, something new for sure? does nightmare have to provide for these new henchmen now too?? so many factors to consider! unless these henchmen are more part-time than full-time lol.

i also think that, individually, the murder time trio might not get along with each other at all. they are (or were?) all sanses, but they have developed different moralities that canonically can clash with each other. the only way i think they can work well together is if they don't know each other's backstories. they function well with a wet blanket of mysteries, and i headcanon that's how nightmare is able to control them. he has all the cards, and he can play their emotions well, either to make them get along with each other, or to sow distrust among each other as well.

ANON I LOVE HOW YOU THINK

To me personally, i take my interpretation by looking at each of the Trio individually with their stories and then try and string together how they’d act around each other

Killer just honestly wouldn’t care about the others’ stories or past or anything like that, so when it comes to Murder or Horror, Killer he has no problem with them and would get along with them pretty well

Aside him being an absolute bitch to them at times, Killer wouldn’t hold much hostility towards them, and any harsh or offensive comments he makes towards them would only be because he felt like it, Killer has no reason for doing what he does, he just does it cause he can

However, Killer is definitely the type to value his privacy, and any questions or comments that might disrespect said privacy, would definitely escalate to Killer fighting whoever pressed him about matters they don’t understand or have the right to know, he simply doesn’t like to be pushed around, and he’s one with a lot of secrets, and he wouldn’t let Horror or Murder get their nonexistent noses into his business, like know how people always portray Nightmare to always be like “my room is off limits”?? Take that and actually apply it to Killer, Killer’s room, belongings (especially his weapons), and thoughts/personal life are all off limits

Ironically, Killer doesn’t hold that same respect of privacy when it comes to the other two, he’d definitely and especially not respect their personal spaces and would probably be super touchy with them, Murder and Horror hate to be touched but Killer does it anyway (Murder and Horror don’t realize Killer does that not just to be annoying but because he’s reassuring himself that they’re real, that they are indeed in front of him and not just another figment of his fucked up mind, not that he’d ever tell them that tho)

Murder on the other hand, definitely hates being on Nightmare’s team, he has no interest in serving Nightmare, he only cares about his own AU, so i can see him be the quiet loner who just doesn’t engage much with Killer or Horror

However, I can still see Murder feeling ok with Horror, but definitely not liking Killer in the slightest, cause while Murder is deluded to think that he killed everyone in his AU cause he “had to” to get his LV higher to be able to Kill the human and supposedly save everyone from resets, to him, Killer only had done the same thing but only for fun, that Killer is no better than the human, so I can see Murder treading carefully around Killer and just overall being cautious around him, especially with the amount of Determination Killer holds, it’s much greater than his and that fact downright disgusts him, cause how many times has Killer killed those in his AU to have his very soul deformed like that, not that Murder would be outwardly hostile towards Killer, but mucv like Killer, simply passive aggressive

I feel like Murder is the one that would always pry into Killer’s “off limits” area, he’s not curious or interested, he just simply hates Killer for being a monster with many faces (Can Murder even call him a monster when his soul doesn’t represent that of a monster?)

But i feel like Murder would be in for a surprise as he talks with his Papyrus only for Killer to say something along the lines of “it seems I’m not the only one who sees my Papyrus”

I can actually see Papyrus be the only point in which Murder and Killer actually agree about something

I feel like Horror is on the same boat as Murder but to a much smaller scale, so he’s fine with Murder but would break Killer’s skull if he could, he’s still a lot less hostile towards Killer than Murder tho, he’d just engage with Killer as he’d engage with everyone else, but Killer definitely gets on his nerves with his very nonchalant yet passive aggressive attitude

I would lie if I said I don’t think Horror would feel a bit disgusted by both Killer and Murder for murdering their Papyruses, cause how could they? Papyrus is the only one they were tasked to take care of and they just Kill him off? And I can see Horror actually commenting on it, only to get a comment back from Killer about how he’s not any better than them, how he literally fed his Papyrus human meat, Horror is baffled by how on earth did Killer even manage to know that, only for Killer to be his usual secretive self and simply states that he has “his ways”

I can still see Horror forming a good friendship with Murder tho, and even forming some sorta alliance where him and Murder go “you scratch my back, i scratch yours”, very beneficial when you’re working under Nightmare

Killer is unfortunately on his own tho, especially with the fact Nightmare seems to have his eye on him 24/7, Horror and Murder try and stay away as to not end up catching Nightmare’s interest too, they don’t know why Killer seems to catch Nightmare’s fancy, but they’re glad they haven’t met the same fate and they’re not about to change that by getting closer to Killer, not only that, but I feel like Horror and Murder would definitely see Killer as the “pet” to Nightmare, his favorite “toy”, and with how Killer’s the closest to Nightmare, what’s to stop Killer from spelling their secrets or thoughts for Nightmare’s ears to hear??

It makes Killer a bit if an outcast, but Killer doesn’t really care

Not only that, I feel like Killer would definitely creep Horror and Murder out by his vast knowledge in the Metaverse and Players, and while Killer doesn’t make such creepy comments about how none of them have any true free will often, they still get to the other two to an extent

I can still see the Trio becoming friends still, but not in the same sense that is the star sanses are friends, more like the Trio are the kinda friends to try and kill each other as a form of showing affection, they’re always really mean to each other, and are definitely a bit distant, but they’re also in the same shitty circumstances under the same shitty roof under the same shitty boss, and none of them would admit it, but all of them find a bit of solace in each other’s company, cause it always means they’re not alone whenever Nightmare breaks their bones, even if the two who survived Nightmare’s wrath would only make fun of the poor bitch who faced it head on

I can also see them finding common grounds in surprising places

Horror is actually surprised to know that Killer doesn’t eat, that Killer has a problem with food just like he does

Murder is actually extremely surprised Killer seems to hate the human (at least to an extent) like he does

Killer is a bit relieved to know he isn’t the only one to killed everyone in his AU, that he isn’t the only one to gained Determination cause of it (even if he’s more severely affected by it)

The three are all relieved (not that any of them would admit it) they’re not the only one with fucked up mental health

As for Nightmare, I feel like he’d definitely have some sorta plan before he actually hires anybody, Killer isn’t hard to contain, just keep him at stage 2 and crush any hope he may have of any fantasy of him finding a better life for himself and he’d stay in line

Horror? Just threaten him with killing his brother, problem solved, he wouldn’t dare get out of line

Murder is the one i feel would be hardest for Nightmare to control, in fact, i fully believe Murder is always trying to run away to find his way back home, and so i feel like Nightmare would put Killer on babysitting duty, Killer is tasked with always watching Murder and making sure he stays in line, and while Nightmare never explicitly states it, Murder is fully aware that Killer’s watching him

It complicates things for Murder and i can imagine him actually succeeding in getting away a few times, only for Killer to find him and bring him back kicking to Nightmare’s feet

I actually like to think Nightmare’s lenient to an extent when it comes to the Murder Trio visiting their homes as long as they get back immediately once they finish whatever business they wanted taken care of, and it doesn’t get in the way of their missions, hell he’d even let them go for days at a time (Murder, however, is always dragged back by Killer, and it makes Nightmare think of how much of an ungrateful bastard Murder is)

Here’s the twist tho, Nightmare doesn’t allow them to go home out of the goodness of his heart, Nightmare simply allows it as a bit of a fancy manipulation tactic in which it would make it seem like he isn’t “too bad” (he’s so damn bad) and it would just give Horror and Murder less of a reason to plan any sort of treason against him (Killer’s too unfeeling in stage 2 to care enough to form an alliance) not that Nightmare’s worried about it, he’s more than capable to put them in their places had they dared, he simply doesn’t want to deal with such hassle when it can be easily prevented (i mean he really isn’t in the mood to find another Horror and Murder)

That however, doesn’t make any of the Trio any less expendable to Nightmare, especially Horror and Murder, Nightmare tries to always keep the same Killer around cause he just isn’t in the mood to condition whatever new Killer he gets to play by his rules again, but he definitely had a few different Killers over the years

Murder as well, he definitely was replaced with another Murder so many times (he’s the one who gets replaced the most)

I like to think Horror is the only one who never got replaced by another version of himself, cause Horror always tries his damn hardest to stay in line and keep on Nightmare’s good side, and whenever he goes on missions he’s always so very careful about how much damage he takes as to not be deemed useless by Nightmare, all motivated by his love and fear of leaving his brother behind by himself had Nightmare decided to kill him

It’s always surreal for Horror to see the Murder he formed a good friendship with to be killed off by Nightmare like he never mattered, only for Horror to be introduced to another Murder in the next morning like the presence of the previous Murder meant nothing at all, and it’s even more surreal for him to introduce himself to a new Killer or a new Murder like he never met them before, all back to square one

Killer might’ve served Nightmare the longest cause he was the first to be recruited, but Horror had always been the one to actually last the longest

[deniable-masterpiece]

yea i think milo is in kinda dangerous territory with how he interacts with fans, the parasocial relationships are actually so rampant. it's super sweet how he's always hugging ppl but it only takes one person with bad intentions or obsessive behavior. i just hope ppl don't ruin it for the whole fandom.

a lot of milos fans also kinda downplay the work or talk over fans of his costars too, they can be really aggressive and/or sexual constantly. i think his fandom is partially devolving into something pretty toxic.

yeah I wish he would learn that he needs to start acting differently. I've seen people get the wrong idea with how he acts, kissing and hugging them and saying he loves them. one day, someone who's obsessed will act out in a way that ruins it for everybody. it's a ticking time bomb waiting to happen, but I fear it will happen.

and yeah, even me, someone who writes fics about him and his characters and posts many thirsty ideas over him, but I can differentiate those as fantasy and not actually milo but somehow, regular people who I don't believe post about him to *this* level are acting weirder than me? it's kinda crazy tbh, because I can respect a boundary

and yessss it really is. I do sexualize him and his characters BUT, like I said above, I can separate the idea/fantasy I have of him in my head versus the actual man who has real feelings and emotions. it's a lot of women and the best way I can describe it is the equivalent to that scene in Yellowjackets where everyone was going after Travis. it's like this insane hive and it made me not really like milo as much anymore because of how much they reduce him, place him on a pedestal compared to his costars, and get super possessive over him like they're his. it feels really gross because this possessiveness didn't come until he became more "tiktokified" and it's women who want this new version of him instead of being fans of him no matter what he does. compared to me who's been a fan since the first zombie movie, where that was seen as "cringe" and he got constantly made fun of for being in it, i just can't help but get the ick when it comes to these women. (this is mostly evident in the fact that most people refuse to acknowledge his roles prior to Wally, because they just want to thirst over wally/new-era Milo and don't appreciate the person he used to be. name one ben plunkett or Nico Alexander fic or just a general post you've seen about it,, there are literally none for those "less appealing" characters.) i don't want to single women out but it's really them who I see making TikTok's about wally and milo and saying "that's my baby boy" and "feeling so maternal towards him" like its just gross at a certain point guys

it makes me feel bad for milo because we've seen his career path. he grew up overweight (from what I could see in pictures of him), was generally unpopular, kinda seen as cringe for his roles and generally gives off a nerdy vibe. I'm not trying to knock the man but this is just how his history has been, and it's a shame to see him get all this very deserved fame and attention but it comes with attracting weirdos who want to feel special and can't control themselves, ruining it for milo and everyone else

I hope he can just do the right thing and shut it down, and recognize that there is a problem and it'll only grow with the more he feeds it. I feel bad that he has to deal with it and ideally, all fans would understand that you have the right to say and do whatever online, but in person, there needs to be a standard set in place. it's literally so annoying because they really do see him as their own

[mervardent]

Hot take: the "Zhongli is the dad and Xiao and Hu Tao are children" fanon wouldn't be as popular if Xiao and Hu Tao had tall models

Nothing against you if you like this headcanon, mind you. It's so popular for a reason.

I just find it really annoying how this fandom tends to take one fanon and treat it as if it were canon, and then to try to annihilate other headcanons by calling them creepy.

There's nothing creepy in shipping two adult characters. If anything, I find creepy the tendency to infantilize people who are shorter or smaller. So, you're telling me you treat people as less just because of their looks?

Let's be real, if Xiao had the tall model, he and Zhongli would be one of the most popular ships in Genshin. We would have a lot of Tartaglia/Zhongli/Xiao fancontent as well. Just look at the ultimate master&servant ship, Thomato: it's the most popular ship of Thoma and one of the most popular ships of Ayato. Zhongli and Xiao also fit this trope, but add in here way more angst. And people love angst.

And Hu Tao? Again, she's an adult. As far as we know, she's in her early to middle twenties right now and was in her late teens to early twenties at the start of the game (here's the post where I do the math). Tartaglia is a young adult as well, and it doesn't stop people from shipping him with Zhongli. Hell, that was one of the most popular ships at the start of the game and is still a popular one now.

People often complain about all the romantic ships, which is valid, because people are often really weird about them. However, some platonic shippers show the same tendency. In general, this fandom has the problem of taking one fanon and acting as if it was the only correct one - same goes for stuff like "hahah, Ayaka is a yandere for Aether" (I get it, it can be funny, but c'mon, Ayaya is a pretty sweet character and has more to her than just memes that don't have a lot to do with her actual personality).

Now, clutch your pearls, because I have an even hotter take for you: you can enjoy dynamics which are mutually exclusive. You can be a multishipper and like Albedo with Kaeya and Albedo with Sucrose, but you don't have to make them a polycule in your headcanon if you don't feel like it. You can have two separate headcanons. You can prefer Yun Jin and Xinyan as friends but also understand and like the vision of them being a couple. You can prefer Zhongli and Xiao as a father-son relationship but also find the idea of them being in a romantic one interesting. Because guess what - they aren't actually a father and a son. They're friends, and also, to a degree, a master and a servant. What you'll do with that is up to you.

Seriously, I admire fellow NeuvillettexFurina shippers for fighting so strongly that the narrative "Neuvillette is the dad and Furina is the daughter" didn't become the only "correct" one. Stay on your post, fellow soldiers.

To conclude:

Your headcanon/ship isn't the only correct one.

Stop treating all the adult characters/people who look younger or are shorter like children.

You can simultaneously like a few different interpretations of the same relationship.

It's supposed to be fun. Let's not ruin it for others just because we have different tastes.

[that-one-enby-ranger]

I feel like Halts gets along with, or at least doesn't mind, most of the rangers, and I think most of rangers get along anyways, them being a happy little family and all, but I feel like there are defintely some rangers Halt fucking hates or has a strong dislike for.

Meralon is definitely one of them, but let's be real most of the rangers probably hate his ass, he's such a prick. I mean, Halt literally said "the man's a fool" in the book, and Crowley kicked him out of his fief and sent him to a new one so its kinds obvious.

I think him and Norris also don't get along. It's not a full on rivalry or anything they just don't like each other, Halt because Norris is humourless and takes things too seriously, even for him and probably is the type of person to be like "erm actually that's not very funny because..." and Norris probably doesnt like Halt because he's actually interesting and funny and any joy and fun in his life is bad. Once again I feel like a lot of the other rangers find him insufferable as well but he's not a full on jackass like Meralon so they tolerate him and are still nice.

Denison is another one. I know him and Halt actually kinda got along better in the book and Denison actually turned out to be decent he was just a little full of himself and didn't like the short Irishman telling him what to do but I don't care this is my headcanon I do what I want. They probably sometimes have understandings because Denison might try to be decent and Halt doesn't feel like being a complete asshole to him when Denison's being nice, but they still have a lot of disagreements and stuff so Halts just like "don't like that twat"

I've mentioned this one a couple times before but I headcanon Halt and Samdash hate each other for absolutely no reason. They can work together if they have to buy they aren't happy about it. They're both assholes to each other and no one knows who started it. They're literally have arguments in the middle of a meeting because on of them disagreed with what the other said. They can be professional but they can also act like literal fucking children. The funniest thing about it is that they both think everyone else hates the other. Halt thinks everyone else doesn't like Samdash because he's "annoying" and "a prick" and "has a stupid haircut and a stupid face" or whatever and Samdash thinks everyone else doesn't like Halt because he's "antisocial" and "angry all the time" and "really mean did you hear what he said about me :(". In reality not that many other people have a problem with Samdash and actually find him fun and a good friend and not that many people have a problem with Halt and just think he's quiet and minds his own business and is smart and just kinda chill most of the time. Crowley's so sick of both of them.

Everyone else in the corps Halt doesn't have a problem with. He probably finds some other peeps annoying or insufferable (I mean there's 50 of them) but not enough to hate them. Everyone else he either actually likes, doesn't care about, or doesn't know well enough to have an opinion.
