Hypothetically, how do you think Mark would turn out if he never got his powers? What would he be doing? How would it change the original story? If the original Mark met this version of himself, how would they react to each other?
This took me a min to respond to because I am extra and had to draw something about this, but thay just means I was so delighted to take this ask, holy shit. I love thinking about AU's, tysm fo the ask, anon! :)
I don't know of the comics add any details about Mark's interests other than being a hero like his Dad (ex. even comic hobby seems to go right back to that). Nothing about school life stands out either, (besides struggling with geography, a detail I love sm), so he's probably an average student who fumbled hard when he started to get busy with Invincible stuff! So, while I can see the possibility of him working hard and striving for career that also helps saves lives ergo paramedic, fireman, emergency dispatcher, etc I actually adore the idea of him interning at the GDA???
Tumblr media
(Okay, note, while I do see him training or getting experience in random roles, Cecil would not EVER let Mark actually be a GDA solider because imagine telling Omni-Man his son got killed. Yikes! So, intern/trainer uniform and not the official solider one.)
I can see him diving into it wholeheartedly, eager to not only prove himself, but help people like his Dad does, kinda trying to get as close to his dream as he can be. And honestly, Nolan would probably be thrilled the last reminder for Colonization Time is permanently delayed (ergo Mark never getting his powers), so I can see him either encouraging this, or being slightly conflicted? I don't know how much he actually trusts the GDA or Cecil, so it could just be bittersweet?
But, I love the idea of GDA!Mark for the potential strain in their dynamic. See, while we can't have the kind of unfolding drama in s1 considering Nolan's slaughter spree might not necessarily happen, the idea of Mark having to process the weight of his own idolization, unable to stand side by side with him on the field, feeling like Nolan feed into the idea he'd get powers, only to end up disappointed year after year could foster some bitterness and/or desperate need to prove himself. He would see Nolan slightly more, but maybe that's just a reminder of what he can't do. Where he can't reach. Nolan having doubts in GDA, would only worsen the strain, how exciting!
Plus, GDA seems to be the classic kind of trust nobody type of government agency that may to try detach Mark's (almost) unshakable faith in his Dad, and could push him to look into what exactly his Dad's past/planet/history is exactly like for documentation, as Mark tries to grasp how much he trusts Nolan and the GDA. If Slaughter Time does happen, then that's incredible drama!!! As Mark, who feels aligned with both the GDA and his Dad, now has to work to find the truth, probably to prove his Dad's innocence, only to find the horrible news instead.
Does Nolan tell Mark and Debbie at the same time, who both already know, haven't told the others, and you got family drama of the fucking century again? Ideally? Yes. I love dramatic irony a normal amount.
I think GDA!Mark and Canon!Mark wouldn't get along tbh. While C!Mark is relieved by the lack of maliciousness, GDA!Mark is literally seeing where his entire life could have been if he'd only gotten powers. 'Cause, while I do think Mark is a fundamentally kind person, it's also clear he's incredible hard on himself which I think crosses over to alternate selves. So, he'd be bitter as fuck. Yeah, they both suffered, but I think the envy would go crazy. GDA!Mark would start questioning everything, like if that Nolan loved his son more for having powers, and if C!Mark just fucked it up somehow, so if GDA!Mark got powers maybe he could've done something different? Said the right thing? Like there's this desperation to know could it have turned out any other way? Was it truly his fault? Was it something he should've said better? I think there's a quiet spiraling despair in seeing the distorted mirror version of oneself and still seeing them suffering. Was there really no other ending? It had to be this way?
Thanks for the ask tho :D !!! Currently trying to remember I have this blog while I fight art block fjgkfg.
Oh! And Bonus idea of interning at GDA still means he hangs out with Teen Team!!! Maybe he helps log injuries, reviews battles, handles reports, memorizing villain weaknesses as base support, but there's this underlying part of him that still feels so useless next to them? I can see Rex and Mark getting off on the wrong foot immediately, but Kate and Mark bonding? Mostly because I want Kate and Mark bonding like please.

House stealing Wilson's food P1
P2
S1
1x20 Nothing in s1, so have them sharing (i've been told that these are) pretzels
Tumblr media
S2
2x4 Stole a chip from Wilson's plate to avoid paying for something other than a salad (hiding steak)
Tumblr media
2x6 Steals Wilson's crisps ("Is there a light that goes on when I have food?") (He also steals apple pie from Mark but Mark isn't Wilson)
Tumblr media
2x15 Not stealing but Wilson offers him some of his dinner
Tumblr media
Wilson's pancakes - unsure if stolen but he's got the whole tub so probably ("They're amaaazing")
Tumblr media
Wilson's salad
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wilson's sandwhich
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2x16 Wilson's orange juice (Which Wilson just takes back: slobber and all)
Tumblr media
2x23 notices food | thwarted
Tumblr media Tumblr media
twice
Tumblr media
is given food anyway
Tumblr media Tumblr media
S3
3x6 Stealing the tomatoes from Wilson's salad (Wilson also goes to stab one only to leave it, I like to think on purpose)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3x9 Steals half of Wilson's sandwich even though Wilson can't afford cafeteria food bell end
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3x14 Another sandwich lost to this vicious war (returned after one bite though)
Tumblr media
3x19 Another fry. Although Wilson did offer to get him to shut up. Also he didn't eat it during the scene.
Tumblr media
3x20 Steals his coffee, then complains
Tumblr media Tumblr media
S4
4X2 Stole Wilson's bagel (weirdly enough, the half eaten one for once?) and then threw it in his coffee
Tumblr media
Stole more coffee
Tumblr media
4x6 Wilson's lunch
Tumblr media Tumblr media
4x12 Okay, not Wilson, but stole Amber's drink, which Wilson did nothing to stop btw and didn't even blink at. Wilson probably swapped the drink around so he had the brat contaminated one.
Tumblr media
(Rather predictably, House's head/Wilson's heart did not have anything. Although probably for the best, House already stole Wilson's girlfriend (I do not believe this, but it is funny), he didn't need to add insult to injury by stealing his food too.)

risk ❀ s. reid x reader
in which you have the sweetest regular, and it’s probably too soon to tell him you love him!
Tumblr media
pairing: spencer reid x barista!reader genre: fluff tags: s1 spencer. who rambles. biblically accurate career!reader sorry if some of the coffee talk makes no sense to you. reader makes all the first moves. y'all kiss (aww). written in timeskip sorta it's not crazy (like maybe a month). not proofread sorryyy (im not). word count: 2.2k a/n: first instalment of my spencer reid eras tour🙂‍↕️ season 1 spencer reid i freaking adore you. he's so cute. gif!! i thought gifs in this series could be cute lol. envisioned 1x10 spencer bc of his nightmares if that means anything. enjoyyy ily im off to work 🏃 
There are many reasons you come to work each morning. The money (an obvious one), your coworkers who usually make each day a little bit more bearable. And Spencer. A regular who had become a little notorious for having an odd coffee order, that most of the store workers hated making. 
Except for you. 
It wasn't especially odd. But in a store that thrived on making the perfect cup of coffee, sometimes it meant remaking it three or four times because the shots didn't pour at the right amount of time, and recalibrating the machine was a hassle you all didn't want to deal with in the middle of the morning rush he usually came during. 
You had taken note of him the first few times he came in — always keeping to himself, flashing the most awkward smile you think you've ever seen on a human being, and ordering his old order (a large latte with as much sugar as you could fit in the cup). It was by the seventh time that had you thinking of him a little more often than just while you were at work. 
He looked a lot more exhausted than usual. His usually tame hair now loose and hanging over his face as he took a weary step towards the counter, fingers brushing strands away and tucking them behind his ears. 
"The latte, right?" you had asked him, and he had frozen, and you stood in fear of this not being the Spencer you thought he was, and you had just asked a total stranger about a coffee they've never ordered. 
But then he let out a nervous laugh, shaking his head. "Uh, no. Not today. Um—do you guys have a limit on how much coffee I can have?"
Your eyebrows furrowed. "No... we don't. I wouldn't recommend any more than like five shots in our largest size, though. It'd probably taste gross. But we can add as much as you need."
"Five's good. Yeah," he nodded his head, fingers wrapped tightly around the leather strap of his messenger bag. 
"Just... a five shot latte?" you clarified, and he froze again, shaking his head once more. 
"Do you recommend anything else? I—uh, I want it to be sweet enough still."
"I can do you a mocha?" you offered. "White chocolate mocha if you're looking for it to be even sweeter."
"I'll try that," he nodded his head, and out came his awkward smile, which had you smiling back just as awkwardly. 
Which was how he got to his current usual. It honestly became a test to ensure your coffee machines were actually running well, considering pulling five well-done espresso shots at once was no easy feat. And, again, most of your coworkers hated making his drink. 
Which was why it was palmed off to you. Every single morning without fail. And maybe in another universe you would join them in the hatred for this man's frustrating drink order. But then, in that universe, you wouldn't get to talk to him every morning (and slowly break him out of whatever shell he had locked himself up in). 
"I never asked," you began, staring at him over the top of the coffee machine while putting white chocolate fudge into the bottom of the cup. "Why did you change your order randomly?"
He parted his lips and his eyebrows creased together for a few seconds, as if he was deciding whether or not to tell you. You were kind of grateful he concluded on trusting you. 
"I wasn't really sleeping. When I asked about changing my order," he explained, hands letting go of the bag strap so he could talk with them. "Then I guess I just liked the taste of it? And it kept me awake. Which is a bonus."
"I can imagine it would," you nodded your head in agreement, flashing him a small smile, which he returned, bashfully. "Why weren't you sleeping?"
He went silent, and you almost cursed yourself for asking. Maybe you had gone too far. It was why, when you had begun to busy yourself with making his drink a little faster, you jumped when he spoke up again.
"I was getting these nightmares," he said, and your head lifted from the milk you were steaming. "Because of what I do for work."
"Law, right?" you asked, and he let out a small laugh, tucking hair behind his ear. 
"Sort of. I'm with the FBI."
"Oh, that's right," you replied, nodding your head in recognition. He had said that to you at some point in the earlier days when he first started coming in, because you had asked where he works so close by to be coming in as often as he did. "Can you tell me what part? Or is that confidential?"
"No, no, I can. I'm with the Behavioural Analysis Unit," when your face twisted into confusion, he added, "We use psychology to analyse serial killers and catch them. Well, not just serial killers, actually. But that's what we focus on."
"And it works?" you asked, eyebrows rising as you placed a lid atop his coffee, sliding it out on the pick-up section where he was standing by. His face fell slightly, and so you were quick to add, "Not—I didn't mean it like that. I just mean I'm shocked. That psychology is all you really need to catch a serial killer."
"It's not all we need. There's a lot of other elements that go into finding one. But our primary focus is how their brain works and we use behavioural science to figure that out. Actually, we used to be called the Behavioural Science Unit when it was first created."
He was too busy talking animatedly with his hands for him to have picked up his coffee, and you were too busy watching him with a smile to remind him it was ready. 
When he did reach for it, you could feel the familiar pang of disappointment that had started shooting through you every time he was picking up his coffee and leaving. A weird sensation that left you clawing at the walls of your brain to come up with something to say to keep him there. 
It was probably why you blurted out, "Are you seeing anyone?" Which was followed by stunned silence from him, and regretful silence from yourself. What a question. 
Slowly, he began to shake his head, his lips twitching into a confused frown. "No. I'm—I'm not." 
It shocked you a little. He wasn't jaw dropping, per se. But he was attractive. You had said it a few times to your coworkers whenever they asked why you talked to him so much — there was a running joke that you were already secretly dating him behind their backs. Not funny.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to..." you hesitated. "Go out for dinner? Maybe? I'm so sorry if I'm totally overstepping. In fact, I encourage you to say no, because this is a little weird. I'm so sorry," you rambled when you were met with only silence from him, wondering if you had weirded him out of the ability to talk. 
"With me?" he pushed out, his voice a little higher pitched than usual, and you nodded your head, because maybe he wasn't weirded out. Maybe you had just flustered him. You hoped so, at least.
"Yeah," you said. "Is that weird? Or is it okay? To ask that?"
"It's okay. Yeah. Yes. I would love—like to. I mean, that would be nice. Yeah," he stammered, and you smiled. 
"Here," you held your hand out and gestured for his coffee, taking it back and picking up a Sharpie to write your number atop the lid, before you slid it back to him. "I get off work at one. Call me?"
"I will," he nodded, eyes fixated on the number for a few seconds more, before he returned his eyes to you. "I will. Um—bye!" he took a step back, and you let out a loud laugh when he stumbled into a chair behind him. 
He was sheepish as he waved to you, bidding you another goodbye, the sound of the bell above the door ringing once, and then again when it fell shut. 
And you had, somehow, secured a date with Spencer.
Which turned into two dates. Then three. And then, with some weird stroke of luck and twist of fate, you were spending every evening you could at his apartment, and him at yours. 
But you were yet to kiss. 
Not by any particular reason. Really, nothing either of you did ever really called for a kiss. Which was as frustrating as it was understandable. Frustrating, because you felt like you were simply friends, who sometimes went out for dinner, and had feelings for each other. But he had told you very early on he'd never been with anyone before, let alone ever been on a date. Hence; understandable. 
But frustration was more overwhelming than you had thought, because you were on his couch, blanket draped over both of your bodies, as he read you a book — The Chameleon. A short story by Anton Chekhov (an author whom you were only barely familiar with). And yet, all you could think about was kissing him. 
In your defence, he was very kissable, as you stared at his lips while he spoke, your heart stuttering quite uncomfortably in your chest. You weren't sure what it was precisely about him that made him like that. Maybe it was the natural pout of his lips, or how they twitched in humour at the little jokes Chekhov had written into the book that only made sense in Russian, despite him attempting to translate it for you. 
Whatever it was, it was overriding your senses, and in true Spencer fashion, he hadn't noticed you weren't intently listening to his reading until he glanced down to catch a reaction to something he said. You caught as he closed the book and placed it off to the side, jostling you from your haze. 
"You don't like the book, do you?" he asked, and you were quick to shake your head. 
"No, I do," which was true. The parts you were actively listening to you enjoyed. "Sorry, I'm distracted."
"By what?" he shifted on the couch to face you.
You fell silent at that, the answer hanging on the tip of your tongue, unsure whether or not saying it could ruin things. You didn't think it would. "You."
"I'm distracting?" he asked, eyebrows creasing together and a confused frown pulling his lips down. 
Which confused you. "Yes?"
"I don't think I'm meant to be sorry for that," he said. "But I am."
"You shouldn't be," you breathed out with a small laugh. 
"Right," he nodded his head, laughing too, awkwardly. "How am I distracting?"
You studied his face for a few moments, which ended up being a pathetic excuse for a lip study, because you were fixated on them again, and you decided Spencer probably didn't even realise that that was what you were doing. 
"We haven't kissed yet," you told him, instead. 
"No. We haven't," he agreed. 
"Do you just not want to kiss me?" you asked.
He did that thing he does when he's thinking — furrowed eyebrows and parted lips, eyes blinking a few times, before he comes up with his response. 
"I just don't want you to be disappointed. I've never kissed anyone before."
"I concluded that," you answered. "I won't be disappointed."
"You might be," he mumbled, and his gaze averted from your own, which had another smile stretching across your lips. 
"Only one way to find out, right?"
He hesitated before nodding his head, lifting his eyes back up to look at you. It was then that you learned that, like everything else, you might have to make the first move on him. Again.
The thought made you laugh, and though he wanted to, he didn't get a chance to question why you were laughing, because your hands were on his face and you were pulling him into you, lips meeting his in a gentle kiss that elicited a surprised squeak from him. 
"You've gotta kiss me back," you murmured against his lips, and his response was a quiet 'oh'. 
But he was a fast learner, because soon after he was. Objectively, it wasn't the best kiss you've ever had in your life. But it got better by the second, and he was doing enough to make your heart stutter in your chest, his hands reaching up to cup your own face, palms and fingers covering the mass of your cheeks. 
His hands there provided him the ability to keep you there, and you had to pry them off your face so you were able to pull back for air, breaths coming out in short pants. Only for a short second, because he was chasing your lips again, and you laughed, before letting him kiss you again. And again. And again. 
Until both of you were out of air, and he was glassy-eyed and pink-lipped. Though, you were probably his mirror image of that.
And he smiled at you, crookedly. And you wondered if it was too soon to say you loved him. 
your reblogs and replies are always appreciated dearly ♡

this scene will have a special place in my heart REGARDLESS of what is about to unfold, even after the end of Link Click
Tumblr media
Lu Guang's genuine happy smile slowly breaks as he looks at silly Cheng Xiaoshi.
it's not just a small smile we usually see
Tumblr media
it's a smile that takes over the looming gloominess we have seen for the entire 3 seasons
Tumblr media
this smile is DIFFERENT. The pleasant warm forest background along with the young green leaves falling on them, it is one of the most beautiful framings of shiguang I have ever seen. If the leaves were yellow/orange, it would have made me cry like a howling hyena because that signifies 'the autumn of life', death is not far away. But it's green and young! it symbolises young and pure love. The warmth of the forest really holds them like a blanket. This scene is vibrant with youthfulness and lively spirit, and the focus of the scene is THEM.
You know what is interesting, why is Yingdu so special? We had multiple opportunities in S1 and S2 to see Shiguang framed like this but they deliberately avoided it. for example take this scene,
the focus is on their hands, which is of course very symbolic and it just looks like Cheng Xiaoshi just asked,
"Would you like to be my life partner?"
- "yes"
but they didn't show their faces.
But I am not here just to talk about Shiguang. It's him
Tumblr media
there is something in his expressions that pleasantly sends shivers to my heart.
He is genuinely happy to cross paths with them, probably in another life, he would not meet them as a spy. In another timeline, he would have enough agency upon his life to choose to befriend them of his own volition. Link Click is so agonisingly beautiful to portray the often ignored yet deep yearning of the human mind, the yearning to meet people who make you believe in 'found family', even if it's for a fleeting moment, you are grateful to be able to form human bondings, with people who feel to be 'your people'. You know when Beckett said that the fundamental condition of human existence is being enveloped by loneliness and that's why they are constantly in search of the 'others'...he was painfully truthful.
Whatever transpires (even if it's Xia Fei who actually kills Cheng Xiaoshi and wants to kill Lu Guang) this scene will not lose its value. On the contrary, the emotions will be more profound. In a world where destiny had not designed such a heinous survival game, we will be alive and happy together.
Another thing (apart from their friendship) he realises is that...how Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang are so deeply in love. (Listen, Ik the dialogues may add a whole different meaning altogether but I wanna write it cuz it makes me happy hmph!) He recognises it, and kind of wishes something of that in his own life too. I would not be surprised if he actually views shiguang as the model lovers he kind of pines for in his own life too ( probably with Vein-)
Tumblr media
whatever, this scene is PRICELESS!
edit : this.

It's calling you...
El saw Will in the void when she opened the 1983 gate. He was the one calling to her the whole time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Brenner told El that the demogorgon was calling her, but what if it wasn't the demogorgon at all... what if it was Will.
The lines are constantly blurred between the demogorgon and Will in s1. Will talks through the lights, the demogorgon comes through the wall. They follow the demogorgon's blood trail, they find Will instead. Will calls Joyce, the demogorgon intercepts. We can never really tell whether it's Will or the “demogorgon.” This blur could carry over to the opening of the gate.
Speaking of phone calls, almost every missed phone call in the show is related to Will in some way. When people try to reach him, they fail. Only when Will calls them does it go through.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I can't even give all of the examples because there are too many, but Will is always associated with phone calls. Will called Joyce in s1, Mike has had multiple missed calls to Will, Nancy tried calling Will in s3, etc. Will has to call, he has to reach out.
When Max calls the Byers, it doesn't just go to voicemail, it's busy. Someone is using the phone despite no one being there. That someone is Will. One of the first scenes we see is Will calling the police, but he doesn't call them, he calls... someone else. Whoever it was, they picked up. But there's no sound other than screeching. Who was screeching? We'll get to that in a bit...
El was called to. The "demogorgon" wanted her. So we have Will who is constantly associated with phone calls, but he's also mixed up with the demogorgon. Why? El answered his call.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The phone call Bob tells Joyce to let go is immediately followed by the lab's lights going haywire, then a door to the Upside Down opens for Will. They also cut to a faucet dripping and a clock going unusually fast. El's void is made of water and there's a clock ticking sound just before she opens the gate. These scenes parallel. The 1983 gate was opened for Will. He was calling out to her, just like the phone.
"All I needed was someone to open the door. And you did that for me without even realizing it." Ok Vecna I'm pretty sure El noticed the giant gate in the wall. So what didn't she realize? El didn't know Will was the one calling to her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Mike asked if El saw Will, she flipped the DnD board to the back. We assume she means the Upside Down, but what if that's not what she meant. What if she meant she saw him in the void? The back of the board is pitch black just like her void.
She places Will's character right next to the demogorgon. How does El know that Will is where the demogorgon is? She had to have seen him NEXT TO IT. This is the first time in the story where we see El sensing Will, so why would we assume she saw him in the UD before this point? She hasn't used her tracking power since she opened the gate. There's only one time she could have seen him. When she contacted the demogorgon, there might have been someone else there, lurking behind. Will!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When El puts Will over the walkie, Lucas says this. The name Blackburn means "black stream." The void is black and made of water. Could this be hinting at El tapping into the neighbor of the demogorgon in the void? Mike follows this with "Did that sound like a baby to you? That was Will." Hm that's interesting because we can actually hear Will in the void when El sees the demogorgon for the first time.
Yeah, that's right. You can hear him.
I can only add one video to this post so the number in the corner will align with the text accordingly!
I'm going to sound like a broken record because I've talked about this a few times already, but I think I finally put all the pieces together:
1 - When it cuts to the speaker, you can hear a faint voice come through. This sounds just like Will when he tells El to hurry. So we have a real "Did that sound like a demogorgon to you? That was Will!" moment. If you line up the hurry clip with the speaker video (not pictured), Will starts to disappear in Castle Byers at the exact time El breaks out of the void in the other clip. They're connected.
We don't actually see what's making the noises in the void the first round, we only hear it. What would the reason for this omission be?
I think the moment we see Will in the Upside Down Castle Byers is the beginning of everything. That's when the gate opened.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2 - The scream we hear when El opens the gate is the same scream that breaks Castle Byers. While this is just a demogorgon sound, it's interesting that they used the one that sounds the most human. Especially when this is the least common sound it makes. It has the same cadence and length in both clips!
I would also like to note that this sound has played when a demogorgon wasn’t directly seen. When Nancy emerges from the tree gate, we hear this weird scream too even though the demogorgon clearly wasn’t coming through with her. Gate, scream, invisible demogorgon.
The egg the demogorgon is eating when she touches it is about 20 feet away from Castle Byers. It can't be a coincidence that they placed them so close. They could've had Hopper come across that egg anywhere, why Castle Byers?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dustin used an egg to test if the deprivation bath was ready. El then found Will in UD Castle Byers using this bath. Eggs are associated with the gate opening, they used an egg just before she finds Will, and THE egg is outside Castle Byers. Will being in Castle Byers is related to the gate opening.
So what if the scream Will hears was the same scream from the gate opening? We don't see a creature on the other side of the blast, just white fog, so can we be sure it was the monster opening the door? Maybe the force of El opening the gate is what broke it. When people disappear from the void, they leave behind the fog we see outside of Castle Byers after the blast. This fog doesn't usually appear in the UD.
Most people don't sense El when she reaches out to them in the void, but Will did. He was reaching out to her. When El opens the gate, Will was already in Castle Byers in the UD. There's time shenanigans here. Time doesn't really flow how it should in the void. El was able to see a pregnant Terry in there before she was swept into her memory loop. Time also is weird in the UD. It wouldn't be crazy for El to be able to open the mother gate after Will got kidnapped in a weird paradox way.
3 - Coming back to phone call weirdness for a second, Will hears screeching over the phone. This may be a stretch, but it kind of sounds like a distorted version of El's screams when she opens the gate? Then Will's phone call was interrupted by the creature unlatching the door. So when Will's call goes through, a door opens. And he's met with the answer to his most fateful call. He hears El screeching as she opens the gate because that was the result of him reaching out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In their respective universes, both Will and the demogorgon destroy Castle Byers. So that's another mix up between the two. If Will really was the one calling out to El before she opened the gate, his destruction of Castle Byers is not only a physical representation of how he inadvertently destroyed it, but also an emotional representation. Will accidentally created his own kidnapping by asking El to open the gate. He created the trauma that led to his childhood destruction. The rod imagery at the end of this scene proves that.
Another possible reach, but we know that it was raining the night Castle Byers was built and the night Will destroyed it. If El's journey through the watery void also indirectly caused the destruction and creation of the UD Castle Byers, there's more water connections there. The UD isn't just mirroring visuals, but scenarios too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Hopper inspects the remains of Castle Byers, he finds a lion plushie. El was cuddling a lion plushie when Brenner told her she was going to make contact with whatever was calling her. The lion causes Hopper to flashback to Sara and El was in a flashback when we see her with her lion. So what if UD Castle Byers is a "flashback" to when the gate opened?
Tumblr media
Just before UD Castle Byers was destroyed, Will was singing Should I Stay or Should I Go. While these were not the lines he was singing, the song makes references to time weirdness. "I'll be here till the end of time" implies that Will is stuck in a time loop when he's in the UD. This song being sung during this scene may hint at its significance in the time loop.
Then there's lines alluding to kneeling in a black void with something on your back. Interesting how the demogorgon was crouched down in the void when El touched its back.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Speaking of kneeling, El approaches Billy in the void the exact same way she does the demogorgon. Billy, who is literally named William. I'm telling you the Will demogorgon mix up never ends. Billy makes himself disappear the same way Will does in the void scene. Oh and when El is looking for the source in Billy's mindscape, the song "William" plays. Very subtle (sarcasm). Will is the source.
Ok but how did the gate open?
Will died.
In s4, we find out that gates can be created by killing people. We also find out that music can open gates in the mind. Interesting how both of those things happen to Will around the UD Castle Byers scene. Will was singing to himself, then he got taken to the library where he died.
The big boy gates all meet at that library where there's a giant clock. Will was the fifth and final sacrifice. But wait! The original gate opened at the lab, not the library. Perhaps Will died twice... once at Castle Byers for a split second, then again at the library. The Castle Byers death opened mother gate, but the library death had delayed effects.
Or Will didn't die twice and it was just a joint effort between El and Will.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
El and Will have opened a gate together before. Every time El contacted Will up to this point, it didn't open a gate. Only when Will reached out himself did a gate open. We're right back to Will being the one calling out. He had to try for it to work.
Will was on the brink of death in Castle Byers. Maybe he wanted a gate to open right then and there so he could be saved. But time had different plans. So when Will called out to El in the void, she answered, and they opened the gate together, not knowing that this actually causes his suffering rather than heal it.
In s2 when they figure out that Will spelled out "close gate," the phone rings. They rip the phone off the wall. Another missed call associated with the gate. But this time, it was Will telling them to close it. He had to tell them to ignore the call. They destroy the call, they close the gate.
It's also possible that Will's call for help was manipulated by Vecna. Maybe Vecna showed El the demogorgon to hide his true intentions. Will has something Vecna needs to open the gate. Not to make everything about Will's mind theory, but if the UD is Will's mindscape, it could explain why Will’s call for help resulted in a gate. Max's call for help through music opened a gate to her mind. So is it really that far off to say that Will's did the same?
Alright lets get a run down of the timeline:
El reaches out to Will in Castle Byers, Will tells El to hurry. This aligns with the first call El hears in the void.
A bit later, El revisits the call, assuming it was the demogorgon. In a startled scramble, she accidentally makes contact with Will who was on the brink of death about 20 feet away. Their joint energy opens the gate and destroys Castle Byers.
This energy attracts whatever took Will to the library. Will is kidnapped once more and dies. This joins the gates in 1986?
Tumblr media
We know that the scene of Will getting taken from Castle Byers to the library is the opening scene of s5. Both s3 and s4 begin with a gate opening. Wouldn't it be fitting for the s5 opener to be the gate that started it all?

So, Bychance is on my radar and ... I think it'll actually happen.
Disclaimer, I realize this is me going full unhinged mode and some of this might be because I'm so bored lately but the more I think about where we left Will off in S4, the more I think Will might actually take a chance ( lmao? ) to be with someone new, even if deep down he knows it's not in his best interests--it'll be more a coping mechanism, an attempt to move on from Mike, and without realizing he might be repeating the pattern of his parent's relationship due to trauma.
This will ultimately result in growth for him, of course, and the breaking of these cycles. Will Byers will be free in the end, but the road there won't be easy.
So here we go--by the leaks of Holly being taken, and the outfits they are wearing, we can infer S5 Byler will mirror S1 Jancy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah. And how did Nancy start S1?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Having a one-time, two-time secretive thing with a jock ( bully ) that left a note in her locker at the start of the season.
Tumblr media
Something something bullies leaving a note in Will's locker at the start of the season.
Tumblr media
Something something a bully leaving a note at the start of S5 in Will's locker with a place and time to meet.
And what is one of the most noticeable things that Stancy and Mileven have in common?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah, they start seemingly very passionate, only to fall apart later. Add Bychance to that mix.
Now, about the place and time where Chance and Will likely secretly meet. At first I thought it would be Benny's Burger.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Benny's Burger, which also foreshadows Mike telling Eleven something about her Benny Burger's t-shirt in EP9. It is also established in these screenshots that Benny's Burger is a place commonly used for people to hang out, likely teenagers, to engage in illegal things like drinking ( and probably more, the 69 poster above Lucas' head notwithstanding )
We also have the whole 'WE ❤️ TIGERS' posters, and Christmas Lights which we have come to associate with Will, as it has been established that this is Will's favorite holiday as well.
Tumblr media
However, Chance and Will would have to be extra careful not to get caught, so chances are they'll go for places that aren't frequented ...
Now, the main question is, why Chance? And I'll admit this is all oh so fairly loose and likely a reach, but if we are to believe Will is going to have a secret thing with a bully, then out of all of the ones introduced in S4, Chance is the one that I'd dare to say we can connect Will with through symbolism, albeit vague.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first time we see Chance, we see the poster 'Defeat The Falcons' closer to him than anyone else on the team even though he was on the bench.
Now, correct me if Im wrong, but if there is an association with Mike and falcons, then it could hint at Mike having lost to chance this season. Foreshadowing he loses to a literal Chance next season? Since Chance didn't come out the bench this season. Yikes. Good luck, Mike. You're gonna need it.
We also notice he's sporting the number 22 in his shirt ( which considering the attention brought to t-shirts this season, I'd say this means something, especially bc 22 is Will's birthday and it is also speculated to be the date of the Creel Murders -- Chance and Will meeting at the Creel House oh god ... ).
Tumblr media
Speaking of 22, this scene is interconnected with Will in California through music--it does have a similar context in which both Lucas and Will feel abandoned by their friends. But we also see what you could argue is an extra that is supposed to remind us of Chance behind Will wearing a shirt ( again with the shirts ) that says 'I love contact sports'
Tumblr media
Moments before, we *just* saw Chance next to Lucas, in the same spot we see Mike as well--as if the two are being compared. ( Tiger vs Falcon? )
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We know Will is associated with tigers, but we can also infer that he loves tigers, which connects him to the 'WE ❤️ YOU TIGERS' poster in Benny's Burgers.
Tumblr media
This is as far as I have gone in my analysis, but I might rewatch S1 and S3 at one point to follow along the narrative patterns and see if I can uncover more.
My guess right now is if Bychance is established early on, then it might go for about a couple episodes before it inevitably crashes and burns--with Will being the one to end things, and then Byler happens at the end in a way that pays off.

I'm gonna be so serious, y'all are remembering POWDER and Ekko and not JINX and Ekko when screaming about how much you "wanted Timebomb endgame over Caitvi"
shoving JINX in a relationship with her current mental state is not a good writing choice whatsoever, because Ekko literally had to keep rewinding time because she kept trying to kill herself. If Anything, That relationship would be rushed and fanservice because they would have jumped the gun in 2 episodes vs the 2 seasons it took for Caitvi and showing their ups and downs throughout their whole relationship.
The alternate universe works because Powder doesn't become Jinx and the two don't separate, unlike this universe where the two have been at odds for 7 years and almost kill each other back in Ep 7 of S1.
"But Cait never said sorry!" she didn't really have to, because Vi never stopped being in love with the girl that she Knows Cait is at heart, the Cocktail Molotov scene in Act 2 makes that VERY apparent. Cait saying that she was waiting for Vi to recover to address Jinx is the start of it because Act 1 Cait wouldn't have even Considered doing that, because she was so gung-ho about putting a bullet into Jinx that she Demanded Vi move out of the way for her to do so. She holds herself accountable with the mistakes she's made ("We can't erase our mistakes. None of us." that wasn't just a line targeted at Jinx to prove a point, there's deeper meaning behind it), and moving the guards out of the cell proving that she trusts Vi and her judgment on Jinx is that apology, Caitlyn has always been an "acts of service" kinda person over being a "verbal" kinda person; it's all over the place in S1 but Especially here in S2. But even after she takes Vi's shirt off, you could tell by her eyes and body language that she was most likely going to stop herself again to apologize for hitting her because the wound was in the same spot she initially hit, which was part of the lead up for This wound to even happen, but Vi's the one that just pulls her back in instead.
I'm also gonna add on that Vi thinks she made the wrong choice in trusting Jinx and thinking Jinx's changed because Jinx locked her in the cell and ran away again. So why in the Hell would Vi go chasing after her Again to be met with the same result time and time again? Vi isn't responsible for Jinx's mental health and y'all saying that are just weird. And I think it's apparent that Stillwater probably wasn't even in the top 10 things in her head being with Caitlyn, she was just running wild on emotions that she hasn't allowed herself to feel like-- Ever. And even if it Was Vi probably would have said she wasn't comfortable being in a jail cell of all places.
What was I talking about? Oh right, Timebomb.
Like Yes, it's shitty that Ekko doesn't get a happy ending considering he's the most unproblematic in the entire show. But people tend to forget that at the end of the day, Arcane is a TRADGEDY. It's not She-ra, it's not The Owl House, it wasn't going to be wrapped up in a neat little bow where everyone gets to smile and walk into the sunset with their loved ones, especially considering the fact that this season's being used as build ups to other stories, it's relatively clear that this isn't the last we're going to see of a lot of these characters. When they come back into play? well... who's to say?
But also, let's address that a lot of the Caitvi hate is just straight up homophobia at this point because a lot of people can understand Mel's admission to manipulating Jayce as an apology but Cait's actions we're suddenly braindead and need shit completely spelled out. like good lord I'm so tired of this. Y'all would NEVER have survived Catradora let me tell ya...
(My next post is gonna be a long winded rant about Maddie so stay tuned for that...)

Okay so after the Monstrosity trailer came out I've seen a lot of different takes and analysies on Kai and why he's acting the way he is and I would like to contribute
In Dragons Rising Kai is a very goofy and a comic relief character. He throws puns and quips around even when no one finds them funny, he provokes and annoys the others even though both the characters and the fandom see it as unnecessary and rude. Especially with the spin-off trailer now out, why would Kai act like this after experiencing years of suffering? In the trailer he said something along the lines of "I just want this all to end", he wants to be back with his family, he wants his life to be normal again. And after finally returning he has an opportunity to be that way again. So why would he act like something is wrong when he could pretend that nothing significant happened at all and he is still his same "normal" self he was before the merge? The goofiness is a mask because he never wanted the land of monsters to happen and is pretending it didn't.
And I know that Kai's comic relief is a mask because he very easily can be mature. Recalling S1 Ep13 where Kai has to team up with Wyldfyre to retrieve the blade he can't exactly afford to be the immature one with Wyldfyre running around so Kai easily takes up the role of a responsible adult. Which seemed contradicting to me at first with his earlier behavior, but considering the context we have now, it makes sense. Kai is mature inside and he can switch back to it if he needs.
Another thing I've noticed, when in season 3 Kai was traveling alone with Nya in silence when he started making popping sounds to fill in the silence. And when Nya pointed it out, he said he hadn't even noticed he was doing it. Which is such a strange thing to add in, right? Where could he have possibly gotten such a strong habit that he didn't even notice he was doing it? Unless at some point he was traveling in silence all alone with no one to talk to so he had to think of ways to fill in the silence. Other people also pointed out this explains why he narrates to himself now too.
One more thing I noticed, when they were fighting Thunderfang, when Lloyd was having his powers drained, everyone had shown distress at the sight, but Kai's voice was the only one that cracked. Which is so strange, right? In fact I don't think I've ever seen a voice crack used in a distressing situation in this entire series. So imagine you spent years stuck in a monster infested land trying to get back to your family, only for one of them to potentially die right in front of your eyes. I think that warrants a voice crack.

Ok Jayvik Nation am I crazy? (I mean yeah but hear me out). Something I noticed while obsessing over Arcane (also if this has already been pointed out sorry I haven't done a deep tag dive but I haven't seen it mentioned) Also warning, image heavy post
OK SO
Something I noticed is when Jayce and Viktor (aside from the very first time they meet after the explosion) are together, most of the time Jayce is on the right side of the screen (not necessarily always on Viktors right side). As the viewer you are always seeing him on the right and Viktor on the left like so
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
See what I mean? This is especially prevalent in s1. (This is also done in Good Omens which is why I started noticing)
Now it doesn't always happen...I started seeing when it didn't because I noticed it happening so much. Now not including sometimes where the camera POV quickly moves to another scene, these were the scenes I noticed Jayce being positioned on the left and Viktor on the right.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now what do all these scenes have in common?
Viktor's mortality. The first Viktor being told by Jayce he's dying. The 2nd being him considering suicide (which obv parallels Jayce's), the 3rd is the Council meeting before Jinx blows them all up, and the 4th is where Jayce kills him.
What's interesting about the positioning of the 2nd image is yes I 100% get this is how it went in Jayce's case, he was on the right and Vik came in on his left. What's interesting is after their conversation and Jayce saves Viktor from that fate and promises him to destroy the Hexcore, look...
Tumblr media
Back to their respective POV sides.
The only other two times they're reversed for a long period of time happens oddly enough when Heimerdinger is present. Them floating in the lab and when they present their inventions
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I find that odd but I haven't made any connections yet (if anyone has any please add them!)
Now s2 is harder given it's their divorce era and they don't spend a ton of time together unless they're fighting. BUT
Starting with Viktor waking up, the first shot is Jayce on the right, Vik on the left (sorry I couldn't find a screen) but then it flips to this
Tumblr media
Which is the start of the divorce era. Viktor walks away from Jayce and the next time Jayce sees Viktor, he shoots him his giant hammer gun (again framed Jayce on the left, Vik on right as I posted above).
There's a bit of ambiguity when Jayce and Machine Herald V meet because Vik walks past him, it very much parallels the above.
Now the last time they're on opposing POV sides is when Jayce meets Mage Viktor.
Tumblr media
Promises are made love is confessed and Jayce is sent back. (I know the above isn't the correct scene since we the audience don't see the reveal until Viktor does when Jayce hugs him but you all get what I mean). Fights ensue.
Hell even in this screen they're on the proper sides. It makes me feel that even tho they're still at odds, they're close to being one again.
Tumblr media
TO THE ASTRAL PLANE WE GO. From the moment Jayce arrives he's on the right side. Aside from when Jayce gives Viktor back the rune and they spin, they're always on the correct sides
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And look how they end up in the end
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Given how detailed Arcane is I can't think this is all coincidence, it happens too much. But I had a lot of fun compiling this post and I'm not crazy right????

If it’s ok for me to ask, since you got more of an eye for art, I got a question regarding Rachel’s art on Lore Olympus. Now there’s no doubt that it got worse over time but for me, I couldn’t pinpoint why. Until one day when I’m in line in a Barnes & Noble’s, that I spotted the licensed bookmark. I took a closer look to it and took note of their eyes. And I remembered that the older art had colored pupils, not all the time but still. While the recents have solid black ones. Am I going crazy? 😅
Not going crazy at all, back when LO was still updating, there was a panel of Hera where her eyes were colored and we all went nuts for it because it was the first time in AGES she had done that (and we had been bitching about it for months prior LOL)
Tumblr media
But yeah, throughout S2 and S3, we really saw a loss in eye color, even in the close up scenes that would normally have them were missing the color that had been present before and it gave everyone the thousand yard stare look 😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Compared to S1, which didn't always have the colored irises present, but when they were, it really added to LO's visual appeal. Same goes for the lighting, sometimes she would add these little white highlights / sparkles to push the emotional storytelling through the eyes, but a lot of that was really lost in S2 onwards when the art started to take a nosedive :/
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Good shit right there.

I am still baffled by AO proudly declaring that she wrote the story "economically", and that she "didn't feel the need to say something again" if it was already implied somewhere.
No. A story is not supposed to be "economical". That's literally the opposite : a good story is supposed to be efficient, and say as much as possible in a short amount of time.
Imagine S1 if Vi had only said once that she missed Powder, and if her pain had never been shown on-screen again. Imagine if, in S1, Viktor's illness had been shown once by him coughing up blood, and then never evoked again, never playing its part in the story.
What point is there to your story if you never actually bother to show the multiple ways it impacts your characters ? Do people think a writer can just say something and then boom, the job is done ? How can you properly develop a story in these conditions ? How can people be happy with a story where the writers constantly disregard entire parts of it by saying "it's okay, it's implied, it was said once several episodes ago !" How can people defend this ?
EDIT : This is why I strongly disagree with the "but it was explained, you just didn't pay attention !" crowd. We did pay attention, but how can you consider it good writing when the story is not even fully written ? You cannot add a blink-and-you'll-miss it information and consider that it is equivalent to a full arc, or even a proper justification. That's lazy, and terrible writing.

You know, I think a thing that is rather unnoticed is just how much the music pieces made for helluva boss really adds to the scenes (I am not referring to the songs btw, like two minutes notice and house of asmodeus for example. They're bangers but I'm not talking about them here)
I have two examples of this that come to mind: Do you remember in s1 e1 during this scene where you heard the piece of music titled 'Stolas Speaks'?
Tumblr media
Let's head to s2 e4, and pay attention to the scene where Stolas is being wheeled into the hospital, you hear that piano again, the exact same note used near the start of the piece of music 'Stolas Speaks', even if you didn't pick up on it during this scene, that singular note still really sells the impact of this scene to you, even more so if you made that connection.
Tumblr media
For my second example: Let's dive right into the argument of s2 e8.
Pay attention to exactly when the piece of music starts, right after that explosive 'LET'S GO!'
Tumblr media
Now, I want you to pay attention to when the piano gets added to this piece of music, it's shortly after the show focuses in on Stolas instead of Blitz, something that is very clearly seen when you look at these two pictures.
Tumblr media
Finally, the piano ends shortly after the show focuses in on Blitz again in this scene, and the final note is timed exactly when Blitz's eyes get smaller, when Blitz has realized that he's fucked up majorly, with a piano note that just feels much more impactful than the other piano notes heard before the final one. The music piece in this scene paints the emotions the show wants you to feel during this scene very well, and it just makes everything feel so much more impactful as a result, and I love it so much.

it's time for me to sink my teeth into our first brotherly bonding session of season two (in episode one no less!)
firstly, it's equal parts heart warming and breaking to know that whilst jeff has opened himself up to alan and their relationship, the first person he goes to with problems is still charlie. after everything they've been through and the connections they've made, jeff still heralds his brother as his home base. (and yes, i have a lot of thoughts and feelings about jeff not wanting to tell alan about everything, but we're parking that to focus on my favourite adoptive/traumatised brothers).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
from the get-go it's clear that jeff and charlie have both come a long way since last season. charlie has established himself in his post-s1 life so comfortably that he doesn't even think to be worried. he's vocal about his desire to stay with babe and be there for him, but aware enough that he doesn't shoot jeff down completely. jeff is far more confident too. last season when discussing their powers and plans, he was all-too willing to let charlie's word be final, to go along with his brother's plans. he also would have taken a step back when charlie didn't immediately latch onto the conversation - he would have agreed to drop it and continued to deal with the issue on his own. here, he's able to assert himself and get charlie's attention.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
that doesn't mean jeff isn't anxious though, because he is. it's coming off him in waves. he makes a show of ensuring no one can overhear them, and it's enough to raise alarm bells for charlie. at first it's a little annoyance, wanting to move back to babe as fast as possible, but when he really sees jeff's hesitance, his protective nature starts to kick in. he still wants to be the person jeff comes to.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
jeff doesn't beat around the bush - he knows something's up and he's scared. charlie wants to take it in stride; he's a little taken aback at first, but tries to minimise the damage. he doesn't want to undermine jeff, but he's hesitant to jump to conclusions. life's only just got back on track for them all and although he knows that jeff wouldn't come to him if it wasn't important, part of him just wants to believe that his brother is catastrophising.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
jeff makes it clear that no, he's not leaping to the worst-case scenario. he's waited it out, he's thought about it, and he's come to the conclusion that something is really wrong and he needs to tell charlie about it. he's always been uncomfortable talking about himself, and he's never been one to mince his words, and he needs his brother to understand that this is serious. charlie is leading the charge in weird power world, and if anyone can help jeff, it's him. and you can see the moment that it sinks in for charlie, that his little brother is in trouble. he's not panicking, or overstepping, but there's a tension to him that we haven't seen all episode.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
charlie wants to help, and, as usual, wants to put people at ease. so he focuses on what he knows. there is help coming to the lab, they're making progress with the drug, and he wants to comfort jeff in this knowledge.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
but jeff has another bomb to drop, because it's not just that the drug isn't working and that things are changing. it's the uncertainty of it all. he's always had full confidence in his powers, always known them to be brutal, reliable and inescapable. but what he's been seeing and experiencing, doesn't add up and he doesn't feel like he can trust himself any longer.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and this is the kicker. this is probably the driving factor in jeff not wanting to talk to alan about what's happening. not only does he not want alan to worry about him (because yeah, the nosebleeds and new visions are scary), but he doesn't want to hurt the pack. charlie is the only other person in this delightfully fucked up little family who doesn't have that long, complicated connection to way. jeff knows just how insane it sounds to have seen way, and his little pause before he tells charlie only proves how conflicted he feels. he needs charlie to believe him, to make him understand that something is so very very wrong with him and his powers. but he's scared of the implications. either his visions are showing him something that isn't real and he can no longer trust himself or his body, or it is real and someone his loved ones loved his back, but he doesn't know how or why. and he can't tell alan or anyone else until he knows because he doesn't want to hurt them. and charlie is shocked, but it's not disbelief. it's the understanding that they're on the precipice of something big.
Tumblr media
and it puts as right back at the beginning of season 1: charlie and jeff against the world, brought together by a vision that threatens their fragile peace.

A Night Time Rush [Stan Bowes]
Tumblr media
Smut / Angst
Stan likes to be gentle with you whenever he's over, but sometimes he can't help himself if he's had a bad day.
Anon... I haven't written for Stan for a while but I was JUST thinking about this idea w him.. we r on the same brainwaves.
Fair warning I still haven't finished off S1 of Pose... Might sound ooc, hope it's still good <3
18+! MINORS DNI! READ MY SFW STUFF
Warnings: Stan's a pos I hate him <3 (shit talking Patty which I don't agree w truly. I love Patty), fem!reader so PnV, quick fuck, praise, hand job, creampie. (That's a bad way of saying breeding kink)
No one's perspective
⊹˚.⋆ ₊꒷ᘏᘏ︶ଓ︶꒷꒦⊹˚ᗢ₊꒷︶ଓ︶꒷
Tumblr media
Fuck. This. Bullshit!
Stan couldn't take it anymore. Not in his selfish mind. Patty was asking too much of him.
Was he, though? Was he really?
He felt like he was already taking enough days off as it is! There's no way in hell he can add a Wednesday off, too. Jesus...
... So maybe he was exaggerating it a little. There was already so much stress radiating off him like a stench that any little, picky thing from his wife practically set him off. It was obvious when he visited your apartment earlier in the evening. Stan stormed off in a frankly immature huff, leaving his sleepy kids wondering why mommy was so upset. Driving immediately to yours like the routine was second nature to him.
One turned key later and you peeked up from the couch, noticing Stan's pissed off look. Chest heaving as he removed his coat, he put his spare key to your place on the side table. "You okay?"
"Shut up." He snapped, which made you blink in surprise and a bit hurt. Stan winced as he realised he may have freaked you out, making him sigh, slip off his shoes and sit by you on the sofa. "Fuck.." He murmured, leaning his head back against the back cushions. Today certainly hasn't gone right.
Sensing his stress about to snap like a twig, you slid yourself onto his lap, already in some evening wear. Arms smoothly slid around his shoulders and legs on either side of his hips. His eyes were still closed but his hands went to your ass, kneading it like dough. Like he was a cat pawing at something comfortable. "Mm wanna tell me something love?" You asked, starting to press kisses to his neck.
Stan made a little 'mmh' noise, debating in his head wether he wanted to bother you with a vent about his wife again. He was sure you were sick and tired of hearing about this woman and how it's not easy to leave her like you so, so desperately wanted. And god forbid he mentions his little ones. He did love them, but lord, it was so much at once, and finding time for you onto- "What's your lady done today, hm? How's she annoyed you?"
"fuck... She was up my ass today," Your hands went to his belt, pulling the leather out of the holder slowly. The sound made Stan take a deep breath in. You smiled and hummed in his ear, encouraging him to continue venting. His zipper and button went next, slipping your hand down his boxers, jerking him off.
Stan moaned quietly, eyebrows furrowed for a second as he tried to formulate his words. "I already take so many days off... I try my fucking best and apparently I need, shit, more days off... I can't fucking do it. Work needs me. You need me.." He sighed into your neck, hips jerking up into your hand slightly. It seemed slightly unreasonable to Stan, but he wasn't going to bother you with details. You didn't need them. You just needed him.
"Oh, honey, I'm sorry." You cooed, picking up the pace which he hissed at. He let out a little 'ha' and his fingers gripped you. Wherever he could, he found something to ground him. "You're doing so well, baby, I think you're doing such a good job at work." You praised softly, smiling again and kissing the side of his face. Which in turn made Stan turn his head to kiss you deeply. It was needed. He groaned into your mouth, like he was trying to swallow you whole, keep you as close as possible.
"bite me... Please.. I need it. Bite me.." Stan muttered, eyes glazed over slightly in lust. You knew he didn't mean it. You couldn't, even though you wanted you. So desperately you wanted to kiss and bite his neck, make sure his co-workers knew someone else was making him so happy.
A small noise left you, something of a hum or a chuckle. "Stan... How about you just cum instead, hm?" You teased, pressing your thumb to the underside of the tip, rubbing it softly. His hips jerked up again, and he groaned again. Precum was leaking down his cock, coating your fingers viscously. That was probably proof enough he wanted to finish now. And quick. He just nodded though, his hands gripping at the loose fabric of your pajama trousers.
Awkwardly, you slipped the trousers down your legs, feeling one leg pool around your ankle. Stan just watched in want, needing you to go faster. Once it happened, he couldn't help himself and immediately gripped your hips, trying to get you to sit on his cock. "Awe, so needy this evening huh?" You chuckled, hovering over him for a moment. Stan just nodded, gazing up at you.
"please... Please bunny.." he begged slightly, attempting weakly to pull your hips down. A smirk was painted on your lips, and you gave in after a few seconds of torturing your boyfriend. Wrapping your arms around his shoulders, Stan guided you down until he bottomed out. A quiet moan leaving his lips as he wrapped his arms tight around your waist. It kept you in place as you adjusted yourself until it felt right.
The rolls of your hips were slow, calculated and desperate. A full feeling that felt like torture for Stan as he let out occasional noises. All he needed was to lay you down and roughen you up, make you scream his name which would've made himself feel better. Make him feel somewhat wanted. It didn't take long for him to start pathetically fucking up into you, occasionally whispering your name into your neck.
Stan was a selfish lover. And it was obvious tonight. He had only fucked you a small amount before he came, whimpering into your neck as he bunny humped you to drag out the feeling of his orgasm. It was like heaven. You just accepted it, letting Stan hug onto you. "That feel better honey?"
He nodded, and just stayed buried deep in you. Making sure his release was kept in you. You kissed his cheek and smiled as you pulled back slightly. "I want to stay here tonight..." He uttered, still holding onto you, keeping you close.
"Of course you can sweetheart... I'd never deny you anything."
