A Simple Hack

Pairing: Husband!Luke Hughes x Wife!fem!reader

Summary: A simple TikTok hack led to a big discussion.

Warning: Lightly proofread, Spelling, and punctuation mistakes.

For context, you and Mo are childhood best friends.

part 2 part 3

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

The movie theater near you sold little to no snacks; if they did, it would be expensive or the kind you hated. So your best friend sent you a TikTok of people pretending to be pregnant so they can sneak snacks into the movies, and you knew you had to try that.

You and your best friend Mo were supposed to meet your Husband Luke at the movies to see the new Captain America movie.

The two of you sat in Mo’s car in the five-below parking lot, stuffing as many snacks as possible into the styrofoam half-balls. Mo looked up at you. “Wait, did you tell Luke that we do this?” Mo wondered, and you shook your head. “I want to get his natural reaction. Plus, he would go on about how I don’t have to worry about because he’ll take care of me. I don’t want him wasting money on overpriced snacks for me,” you explained, placing your leggings up over the styrofoam ball to keep it in place. Mo squints her eyes towards you. “Wow, it must be so hard having a billionaire as a husband,” Mo said, making you roll your eyes.

You and Mo had a girls-only sleepover at her apartment the night before. Which gave you guys the perfect opportunity to get cheap snacks.

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

Mo pulled into a parking spot at the movie theater, You saw Luke waiting outside. “He’s going to die.” You laughed, fixing your three layers of tank tops. You and Mo threw your hoodies on; Of course, you were wearing one of Luke's.

When Luke noticed the styrofoam, his mouth dropped, and he was speechless for the first time in his life. 

“Hi, bub.” You smiled, pressing a kiss on his cheek. Luke looked down at the ‘bump.’ “Why?” was all Luke was able to say. “Best way to sneak in snacks. I refuse to spend $15 on a snack and a soda that I’m going to finish before the trailers start,” you whispered, knowing that someone might narc on you. Luke placed  his hands on your ‘bump.’ 

“Angel, you know I’ll pay for you.” 

“I know, but I don’t want you wasting money.”

“I don’t mind. I want to spoil my wife.”

You and Luke have been married for a year, and you still get butterflies when he calls you his wife or Mrs.Hughes. 

 You pulled Luke into a chaste kiss. “I love you, bub, but it’s okay,” you assured. Luke still looked upset. “Don’t worry, I have some snacks for you,” You added.

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

Luke still bought you a drink because he felt guilty. 

You guys stood in the lobby, waiting for Mo to find her ticket on her phone. You noticed the employee who scanned the tickets kept glancing over towards you guys. “Quick, put your arm around me, pretend we’re together,” you mumbled, placing Luke’s hand on your hip. “We’re married,” Luke reminded, and you gave him a cheeky smile. “I know. I just like hearing you say it.” You told Luke, who was blushing. 

Mo grabbed onto Luke’s bicep. “Let’s go,” Mo whined, pulling Luke and you. Mo and you were a package deal, you weren’t going to date anyone who didn’t like her. You told Luke that when he asked you out in tenth grade. The two had kept a weird friendship over the years.

Then Luke realized why the ticket girl was staring. “She probably thinks I knocked both of you up,” Luke groaned, throwing his head back. Mo scrunched her nose up. “Ew.” Mo gagged.

You ran your fingers through your husband's curly hair, knowing that would calm him down. “She’s not because I have proof that I won.” You smiled, wiggling your ring finger where your engagement ring and wedding band rest nicely. Luke smiled that you were wiggling the symbol of your marriage loud and proudly.

“I’m going to throw up. Can we go? I want to see my future husband, Anthony Mackie,” Mo groaned. Luke mimicked Mo, which led them to mimic how Miley and Jackson do from Hanna Montana. You stood between them. “Stop,” you pretended to be annoyed, but you were glad that you didn’t have to worry about them hooking up behind your back. 

“Now Luke, don’t just stand there. Excourt your baby mamas to the theater.”

“That’s not funny, Angel.”

“Ew,” Mo whined before walking ahead of you two.

“I thought it was funny.” You smiled

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

You guys walked toward your theater when some guy accidentally bumped into you.

“Sorry,” the guy apologized. You were about to say no problem, but Luke shielded you from the guy. “Watch where you're going!” Luke scolded, his fist clenching. You nervously glanced at Mo, who looked just as shocked as you. The guy looked like he was in his late 30s and was a little taller than Luke. The man put his hand up in defense. “I said I was sorry.” The guy explained. 

 Luke was about to say something but stopped when he felt you squeezing his bicep. “Get out of my sight,” Luke muttered; the guy walked away. Luke was never the one who would pick a fight, not on or off the ice; Luke brings you a bouquet of your favorite flowers if he didn’t like the tone he used when he spoke to you.

Luke spun around, one hand cupping your cheek and the other resting on the side of your ‘bump.’ “Are you okay?” Luke wondered, his eyes piercing into yours. “Luke, I-I’m fine. I promise.” You assured, wondering what the hell has gotten into him. The entire walk to the theater, Luke wrapped his strong arm around the styrofoam as if he was protecting you and the snacks. Damn he must really be hungry You thought. 

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

Luke helped you into your seat before sitting in his, “Thank fuck. I’m starving.” Mo grinned, ripping her styrofoam out.  

You ripped yours out and handed Luke the snacks you got for him. “Thank you, angel, but take my card next time,” Luke mumbled before pulling you into a chaste kiss. You bumped your nose against his. “No. I have a big girl job. I can spoil my husband with snacks if I want to,” you smirked before pulling him into a lingering kiss. You thought after all these years Luke would give up trying to pay for you, but you forget how stubborn he can be. 

You placed the styrofoam between you and the armrest that holds the drink. You notice a sad Luke out of the corner of your eye. You gazed up at him. “What’s wrong, bub?” you wondered. Luke glanced at the styrofoam and said, “Maybe you should keep that on. What if an usher comes in? can’t have my wife getting in trouble.” Luke explained, You knit your eyebrows together. What the hell is going on with him? You knew he was right; you put the styrofoam back on. Luke grinned and placed his hand on your thigh, You looked over at Mo, who was as confused as you were. 

Throughout the whole movie, Luke kept placing his hand on the styrofoam, claiming to see an usher. 

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

You and Mo were in the lobby, standing outside the men's bathroom, waiting for Luke. 

“Okay, what the hell is going on with him?” Mo wondered, you shrugged. First, you thought he was only acting like this because he was hungry, but he was still acting weird after you fed him.

“He’s being so clingy…even for him, and it’s grossing me out,” Mo admitted. You tried to think of what could make him act like this. 

The Devils were on a winning streak, so it couldn’t be that.

Luke didn’t have a bad practice yesterday, he would’ve told you.

You felt a pair of strong arms wrapped around your waist. “Ready to go home?” Luke mumbled into your neck. You nodded and waved bye to Mo.  

You saw Mo mouth the words call me forming her hand into a phone and putting it towards her ear. It warmed your heart knowing that even though she argues with Luke, she kind of cares about him. 

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

When you get home, you take off the styrofoam ball and head into the kitchen to make Dinner. Luke was following you like a lost puppy. 

Luke sat at the kitchen island, admiring you the whole time you made dinner. “You okay?” You wondered, draining the boiling water from the pot. “Yeah,” Luke smiled, standing up and walking towards you.

You were mixing the butter into the pasta when you felt Luke's strong arms wrapping around your waist. He slipped his hands under your shirt, holding your bare hips. “You sure you're okay?” You wonder as you continue to make dinner. “Yeah,” Luke assured, shoving his face into your neck.

Luke was placing delicate, small wet kisses on your shoulder, A sharp breath was released from your mouth when Luke placed a wet kiss on the pulse from the side of your neck.

You snapped out of his spell and pulled yourself out of his arms. “Angel,” Luke whined, trying to rewrap you into his arm. You caught his wrist, and you looked into his glassy eyes, the same kind he gets after sex. “Let’s talk on the couch,” you said, tugging him towards the couch. 

You placed Luke down on the couch before sitting next to him. Luke looked down at his lap. “Is something wrong? You haven’t been acting like yourself since Mo and I met you at the theaters.” You said starting to get worried. Luke kept staring into his lap, you noticed he was blushing.

“Are you upset about something?”

Luke shook his head

“Did something happen at practice yesterday?”

Luke shook his head

You grabbed his chin and made him look at you. “Then tell me what’s going on in that beautiful head of yours. You know I won’t judge you.” You gave him a reassuring smile.

“I want to have a baby,” Luke blurted out before his brain caught up to him. You stared at him; you and Luke talked about having a family back when you were engaged. “Seeing you acting like you were pregnant. Letting people at the movies think that I put a baby in you…It drove me crazy,” Luke explained. It’s all starting to make sense: yelling at the stranger at the movies, wanting you to keep the styrofoam on during the movie, helping you into your seat. It was all because he liked seeing you be pregnant. 

“Imagine a mini us running around, I can teach them hockey.” Luke smiled; the idea of a toddler running around did warm your heart. On the plus side, you won’t have to deal with period cramps for nine months. 

You knew you wanted kids, especially after you married Luke, but due to his crazy schedule, you thought you would have to wait on having them. 

“I don’t want to force you or rush you into having them. I know we’re young, and my schedule is crazy, but I know our love for each other is strong and can get through anything.” Luke smiled, your eyes glossed.

You know he would be a good dad every time you see him hang out with the kids from Hockey in New Jersey (Sorry if that isn’t the name). It always made your ovaries explode. 

You wanted kids, and so did he.

You smiled at him. “Okay…Let’s have a baby.” 

Luke pulled you into a passionate kiss.

Theead was getting LOOOOONNNGGG in the comments but!! To answer your questions:

Re: Epic the Musical

BOO WHY WOULD YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE 😭😭 I have my favourites from each saga but I'm so indecisive 🫠 I think the ones I listen to most recently are Odysseus, Monster, and Done For?.... but I genuinely love all of them 🥲

Also!! Off topic but recently I've been watching this series of youtube videos on a channel called "MadsNBooks" (or smth like that) where this woman who's apparently been MARINATED in greek myth from a young age reacts to Epic and it's SO interesting. I had no prior knowledge with greek mythology so I really got to enjoy Epic as a story purely its own, completely divorced from any other context. But it's still so interesting to learn about the changes Jorge made from source material, and how historical/cultural context shapes elements of the story I never even thought about.

Re: crochet

A lot of things XDD but lately I've been making a lot of tops! I'll post pics of my latest completed projects later~

frrrr im such a yapper especially when it comes to books 😭

omg odysseus gives me chills EVERY SINGLE TIME i swearrr (also i love all the ones with hermes in them)

hmm this is interesting, i studied a bit of classics when i was in school but i did more aeneid and less odyssey so i should defo check it out - listening i did notice some things like odysseus did not stay loyal in the og myths 💀 but then w greek myth there's always something that makes u go ew which is why it's actually so interesting to see different takes on them

(idk if u know about orpheus and eurydice but the common view is that he accidentally turned around and hence sent her into the underworld but i've seen a few interesting takes about how maybe she wanted him to turn around bc the underworld gave her more freedom than if she'd returned with him which is sooo interesting - also there's another thing about medusa but i digress)

also naturally this led me to more book stuff haha but have you read either a) song of achilles or b) circe (both by madeline miller) because those books also have beautiful prose - song of achilles is the more widely popular but circe is really dear to me and has a bit of the odyssey in it soooo

oooh crochet tops!! i need to get around to making clothes bc i think i've finally got the ability to get right tension level in the yarn that my stitches are even, normally i just make small things (my irl friends get showered in them on their birthdays)

My favourite Naposéphine headcanon :3

Was chatting just right now with @credo--ergo-sum and suddenly remembered my main silly Naposéphine headcanon. Now I need to share it with you too.

So Napoleon gave Josephine the name she's famous with, but I headcanon that it also happened viceversa. I've always been bothered by how she called him "Bonaparte" despite them being very close. I know that it was normal back then, but it still feels odd to me, so I needed to find some other reason.

Naps dropped the U from his original surname Buonaparte around the time of their marriage. It was for pronounciation purposes, because in Italian U is pronounced "oo" like in "shampoo", while in French it's more like "ew". If you try to say this one before a straight "o", you get it, it's tricky. If you know both languages you know it's a little mess.

I keep imagining Napoleon hearing his name contantly butchered for seventeen years, even without mocking intentions. In the context of his first years in France, it must have drawn a parallel with how excluded and estranged he felt. A name represents you and the way people treat it represents how they take you and your presence. Also think about how the British made a point of calling him "BUonaparte", as a reminder of how he wasn't even French to begin with, much less deserving of being their sovereign.

The period around his marriage was crucial for Napoleon's process to belong to the French society, which the marriage itself was a huge part of. It makes sense that he took the name-changing decision now.

I headcanon that "Bonaparte" was the way Josephine personally butchered his name. Can't bother with dealing with a difficult sound, so let's drop it already - that seems typical Josephine laziness. Especially about letters you may also write ("oh non, please don't talk to me about writing...")

But Napoleon might have actually liked the sound of it. Maybe he liked it because it came from her? That's not important. He surely must have liked how it was faster to write too. He would then take inspiration from that to change his surname.

Josephine helped Napoleon when he had to enter in Parisian society and become the figure we know today as Napoleon Bonaparte. It's nice to think that his final name was her idea, not just the opposite, as in "I helped in creating you so your name will tell everyone about it".

That would mean that Josephine sticked to "Bonaparte" as a reminder of that.

Do you like this headcanon? Hope it isn't too much of a stretch from reality!

PERSEPHONE

reading the myths of perspephone instead of paying attention to lectures, as you do. kindred reads be upon ye.

--

lady of the estate i like it :>

going INSANE for several reasons.

*explodes*

--

its called a CADUCEUS skjdkwkjdke

infernal juno!! what a fascinating moniker

and by extension comparison. which i personally take it to mean "the consort of this realms guy up top".

probably a stretch but what if the box alluded to pandoras? persephone kinda encompasses the worst and best does she not?

more epithets/ descriptors!!

zeus being zeus *gags*

aphrodite in arms is both hilarious to think of but very interesting choice of phrase. all fairs in love and war . or something lol

--

aight so for context: demeter had sought and recieved this prophecy (just think about how it must feel for a mother to hear this kind of news. like good grief)

so she hides persephone away in a cave but zeus shows up disguised as the snake creatures guarding the sleeping seph.

hes a snek.

and then along came zeus...

bebe zagreus aw

smol thunderbolts in his chubby lil hands :')

there was something here about how he took care of (and loved?) zagreus but also left him to die. which really sucks. rest in peace lil bro (hes said to have been reincarnated as dionysus so rejoice lol)

--

pallas (athena)!! love cleverhand as a title lol its just neat

🐍Random Rant #1🐍

TW: Aladdin(1992), Chapter/Book 4, bondage, p*edophilia(but technically legal in the story), general nastiness, mentions of icky yuck times (non-con), female anatomy

⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾

I was watching some Twisted Wonderland on Youtube last, and a video autoplayed right after what I was watching was over. It was the scene for Aladdin where Jasmine kissed Jafar. I left it on because I was thinking about Jamil x Reader am a twisted individual.

The chains... I'm not one to kink shame. If you like bondage, I'm not gonna shame you. BUT. There needs to a whole lot of consent, which, in this movie, there wasn't.

The apple thing is just iconic. I love the symbolism of apples in this movie. As a writer, I just think it's perfect. When Aladdin gave Jasmine the apple during A Whole New World, it was a symbol of his love. According to the University of Michigan, "It is a complex symbol, with a variety of meanings and incorporated in a variety of contexts. It can mean love, knowledge, wisdom, joy, death, and/or luxury. The apple could be an erotic association with a woman's breasts, with the core sliced in half representing the vulva,". As written in the quote, apples also have erotic meaning, which is represented when Jafar forced Jasmine to feed him the apple. Jamil please give me an apple (Also, ew. Jafar got apple juice and shit on her face.)

"Genie... I have decided to make my final wish. I wish for Princess Jasmine to fall desperately in love with me." I could see Jamil doing this, both normal and overblotted Jamil. If regular Jamil did this to the reader, I would be jumping for joy. If overblot Jamil did this I would fucking puke, I swear to god.

I guess 8 year old me tuned out what I didn't want to hear. I genuinely gagged when I heard Jafar call Jasmine "pussycat". NASTY. People calling people anything referring to animals, especially sexually, just sickens me. It makes me gag.

Almost everything Jasmine says about Jafar while she pretends to be in love with Jafar is something I would say about Jamil. Tall, dark, well-dressed, and she starts saying something about his eyebrows at some point. ME. Literally me.

The kiss was obviously really gross and icky. That is exactly how it would go if it were overblot Jamil. I love how disgusted everybody in the movie looks. Even Iago looks disgusted, look at his fucking face.

One last thing...

There goes Jazul stealing my heart again. IT'S CANON, I WON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER.

[guessimate]

Let's meet the Tians. This household is a family of shepherds. I gave them 1 ram and 3 ewes. And one of the ewes got pregnant and gave birth really quickly because it was spring.

And with the lamb... came a lamp... The matchmaker brought them one on the day of the birth of the lambs. The man of the house would like to rub it and make a wish. He'd probably wish for health...

Because of the ROS. He was supposed to be bedridden this whole round, so I infected him with food poisoning twice, gave him the flu once, and I also sprinkled in a couple of colds. Food poisoning definitely hit him the hardest. I never infected him with pneumonia, because he was not rolled to die. Even with all these diseases Fumi was somehow feeling way worse than Hiroki, even with all the throwing up and low comfort he suffered. And she had to do all the work around the house, as well.

Right after Hiroki got Fumi pregnant, he was put on strict bed rest. As a typical Popularity sim, Hiroki didn't care about having a baby. Their baby survives and it will live quite a long life, if nothing bad happens on the way. It's quite crazy but this baby is a 4th boy born in the Asian part of my town. I really need them to produce some girls. Both the baby boy and his mom survive the birth. Baby boy is named Tasuku. He has brown hair and brown eyes.

Hiroki got over all his illnesses at the very end of the spring rotation. I must say the cheapest bed in combination with no bathtub is not a fun combo. The only way of getting comfort was lounging and napping on their sofa.

The ROS meant that this family was not allowed to work a regular job, as the wife couldn't leave her bedridden husband home alone (and she was pregnant anyway). Only Fumi would have been allowed to open their store, but they had nothing to sell. They earned nothing this round, so they will just have to pay $500 rent. I think it's understandable, because they had to be quarantined. Fumi had a fear of seeing vermin, so I think she was afraid Hiroki would get sick again.

~*~

You can disregard the rest of this post.

I have been reading a bit about farm animals in China, and I've come to the conclusion that sheep in Shang Simla could have been domesticated as early as 3000 BC. But that would be too early for monasteries, as these were only established around 3000 years later (68 AD). Let's say I'm starting from Han dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD). I should probably look for proper hanfu cc... But I'm just going to accept that the garments used in my game are not historically correct. I should probably just put all my male sims in this same outfit, maybe this if they go to war.

Anyway, this part of my 'hood is just vaguely ancient Asian-inspired, but for context that's what I should be doing. I'm sorry if my 'hood is not very accurate, but I should probably be cutting down on my cc instead of furthering my search.

[cozycryptidcutie]

“You’re glossing over the boob thing” and you’re ignoring the fact that this is his COUSIN!! If I saw a random person naked I’d be like “ahhh a naked person” but if I saw my cousin. That I live with. Half naked inside of our house. And their balls was slipped out I would not be so uncomfortable that I demand they cover up. I’d be like “ew balls” and LOOK AWAY.

((I should prolly include some context that a 21M was trying to demand his 19F to dress appropriately becuz she wore a tank top by itself that he gave her in the house that they both live in. Her boob was out. I can only imagine it was a nip slip I highly doubt she’s walking tits out. They fought. He ran to his mom who owns the house and said to cut her slack cuz she’s going through things with her parents getting a divorce. Her whole reason for staying at the house. Meanwhile his reasoning is his parents house are big. ))

[ireneswanyu]

I also try to grasp of the situation, what I understand is:

KS and Oly committee made a trial and gave her a 3year suspension, for both the drink and assault.

Both drink and assault are allegations (this means legally requires more investigation, these two cases could not be 100% facts, so let's hold our horses cause it's kinda obvious ksu and other media are sensationalizing all three skaters cases, more information will come out soon.)

This leads me to believe, ks and oly committee made a speedy trial and gave penalties to the skaters based on allegations (legally meaning the cases required more investigation cause yes you need more context and to know the motives), so rightly haein's legal representation will seek retrial and aims for leniency. (I'm not sure about the way they will go about it: "this was a mutual attempt to retry being together, young lady was blinded by love and didn't know how to handle the situation, no bad intentions, he was also in love with her, he isn't mature enough for this relationship so why did he try to be with her again, it's both their fault" well... we'll see how that goes, I literally don't know)

This is a morality case, not a pedophilic one. Age gap issues in romantic relationships among teen lovers is normal (to some cultures at least) (even though I don't personally like it, still I understand. Where I come from it's rare but you will encounter this one 17yo teen who has 3years younger gf and though most of us agree this is kinda ew, still no one does a thing and even their parents know, you hear them say: but they're both teens, which it's technically true and okay...then he turns 18 and she's 15 and we all know they're still together... I wonder how these dynamic works...is she/he less mature? Is she/he more mature? What are the boundaries like? To my experience, these relationships don't last but it's the first time I see it going on trial like this so I'm about to learn something new)

In my opinion, so far, it's mostly on haein's fault cause I expect an adult to protect others and be wiser with their decisions, I'm glad she's addressing the issue and apologising and accepting the verdict. I think her legal team will claim he was a willing participant though.

I believe both are good people and good people make mistakes too, hold them accountable but let them learn from thes and move on, because people can and do change.

I do believe this is a bit of modern Romeo and Juliet: they love each other and want to be together but their families don't want that. So they're together in secret, both consent to these.

For what I read so far (I bet I'll change my opinion later for sure), it's clear what's haein fault, we don't need Sherlock Holmes here, but I worry that his family found out and they are the ones after her so his side seems heavily influenced to me. I think this cause he has feelings and wanted a relationship and cause of some translations that had me confused,so... they say he did voice his discomfort, he walked away, didn't like their contact so he asked to stop seeing each other ect. (He did the right thing and protected himself!) And then the translation says he was in shock, he's treating his trauma(not specified) with help of psychiatrist and then the translator adds that it sounds off to them and it probably means therapy but I think "is it or it isn't psychiatrist?" Yes, I think it matters. No one should doubt this has affected him and he seeks help, we assume most people would choose therapy, but I wonder what if he has other more serious conditions that already require a psychologist and no it's even bigger of a shock?or is just something his family is using and exaggerating to fight her?

I read, he can ask for leniency for her.

Also... this case sounds more like sexual misconduct and less of sexual assault/harassment and again, not sure cause of the translations so I think it's more safe for me to wait and not lean heavily on any sides, just general observations and be open to almost everyone's view.

I think what's key here is that both skaters have different understanding and view of their statu. For ex. She thinks they were 100%together, while he is half way there.

Today I read, that there's little room for leniency but I think that's just to create impressions for when they will receive leniency. I hate sensationalision so much.

To me, I have also big issue with the skater who took photos... I don't know if it's creepy or for gossip... Is it for personal use? do you share it with other weirdos? how many people knew and why is this amusing to them?

My brain cannot process what the assault claim and drinking situation among the Korean skaters are turning into.

So Haein Lee is actually the skater accused of assault on a minor but turns out they were dating last year when BOTH minors, broke up because of their parents, and got back together in secret?

She requested a retrial. As well as the skater who took "offensive" pics of her, though we don't know who they are.

So. Who came forward with these sexual assault accusations? Was it her boyfriend? He came into her dorm and their issue with him is a guy entering a girls room 🫥

They never mentioned skater c came forward with it so did they just discover a legal girl with an underage boy and call it sexual assault? Nowhere is it mentioned skater C (so, the boyfriend) accused skater A (so, Haein Lee) of sexual assault and that's where I'm deeply confused.

[grabowskibeepboop]

Haven't seen vol. 3 yet, but if there isn't a scene like this, it still happened, just off-screen (also am really bad with timelines, so I just assumed and you just have to go with it)

Quill, in whatever context: I haven't had sex in months!

Nebula: Don't you mean years?

Quill: Huh?

Nebula: My sister hasn't been around for quite some years now...

Quill: And?

Nebula: And, who else did you have sex with since that?

Quill: That's... none of your business!

Drax: If it's been months, that means it was someone who's also not around anymore.

Quill: Guys, it's really not that important-

Drax: But the only other ones to leave us were Thor and that stone guy.

Quill: Can- can we change the subject please?

Nebula: Quill... Did you sleep with Thor?

Quill: No! W- why would I do that? Honestly, I'm offended by you even assuming that!

Nebula: ... Hey Ladybug!

Mantis, coming over: Yes Nebula?

Quill: What are you doing?

Nebula: Read him!

Mantis, happily: Okay! *Comes closer to Quill*

Quill: Stop! Need me to remind you I'm your brother? And I'm kindly asking you not to touch me!

Mantis: ... Sorry Nebula, he's right.

Nebula, grumpily: ...

Quill: Hmpf *turns around to walk away*

Nebula: *pushes Mantis against him*

*Both grunt*

Mantis, gasping: You were right Nebula! He has intimate memories with The God Of Thunder! (All I know is that she can read feelings, but I assume she can tell the difference between those that come from memories and those that don't)

Nebula: Heh, you little whore!

Drax: Whoah dude, nice catch!

Rocket, from the distance: Ew!

Quill: ..... Are you gonna look at me any different?

Mantis, shaking her head: No, you're still my brother in the first place!

Drax: Nah dude, that was one fine god, even I would've taken a chance if he gave me one.

Nebula: I ain't judgin', we all have secrets.

Rocket: I am judging, but you're my best friend and I don't want to hear about your sex life!

[the-crow-binary]

I'll give you some work to do: Isaactor, Isaavor, Isaacula, Hecula, Macula, and Lenector :)

OH OKAY SO THAT'S HOW YOU WANNA PLAY ? MHM. I SEE. OKAY. WE'LL PLAY.

Isaactor:

1-The MF and PtR mangas <3 Love how they and their relationship is depicted in both. Mostly because Isaac is SUCH A FUCKIN MESS LMAO 2-The drama. <3 The tension. <3 (the little bit of psychological horror in Rosaly's death scene in the PtR manga :) ) Aaaaa <3 3-Hector wanting Isaac and getting him but only partially because Isaac will always see himself as Dracula's servant before anything else and Hector will forever be second place no matter how much he cares <3

Isaavor:

1-THE FUCKING STABBING SCENE- AAAAAAAA and the first fight too, of course. <3 They were already flirting back then. 2-The parallels you talk about better than I can. <3 3-Their japanese voices. Like FR ISAAC IS OUT THERE DOING ASMR TO THE DADDIEST OF THE TREVORS TO HAVE EVER BELMONT. GAH. I LOVE THEM.

Isaacula:

1-There's no way this can be healthy and i'm all here for it. <3 2-Isaac doesn't need nobody to dehumanize him, he does it all by himself. All he lives for is pleasing his Lord <3 3-Well okay this is extremly niche but in the context of the "Dracula was still Mathias before Lisa's death and he actually cared a lot about Isaac and saw a bit of himself in him and their relationship was somehow wholesome" idea... the heartbreaking drama of Mathias' fall, turning into Dracula who, out of madness driven by grief, no longer feels the same way about Isaac. He changed for the worst and Isaac lost his father figure... but still, he's his Lord, and he loves him. He will never abandon him, even if Dracula no longer cares about him... like he used to.

Hecula:

1-THE FUCKING TORTURE ??? PLEASE ??? EVEN WORSE THAN ISAACULA. HOLY SHIT. HECTOR DOES NOT LIKE WHAT DRACULA DOES TO HIM. And that's hot. <3 Give me that sweet sweet drama and pain. <3 2-Dracula using Hector as Lisa's replacement because he misses her so much and have the worst coping mechanisms ever like holy fuck dude <3 3-That one attack in CoD where he hugs you with his wings and drink you blood. <3

Macula:

1-HHHHHHHHHHHH "self love" and "self acceptance" and "accepting your fate even though you hate it" themes <3 The hate and disgust beetween the two (Mathias being mortified at his future self, Dracula being reminded of how he used to be, realising how low he has fallen, and absolutely hating it wich basically means hating him) that eventually lead to those themes <3 2-Selfcest but deeper. Hot. <3 3-Sex used as salvation. <3 (hate that i have to limit myself to just three things > :<)

And ofc, the best ship, Lenector:

1-Lenore's death scene. Her choosing to look at Hector instead of the sun when she dies (and the music was really emotional, really good). Too bad it wasn't as deserved as people seems to think > :< 2-Hector giving Lenore a piece of her own medicine by trapping her. Ok it served more as "protection" or whatever but at least she was terrified <3 Especially when Isaac arrived. Lol. Lmao. 3-Hector patronising Lenore. The sex jokes were big ew but him being sassy or standing up to her from time to time was nice... but it's also what gave me the false hope that he was playing her game to manipulate her and stab her in the back later, wich KINDA happened but definitely not in the way I wish it had. >:(

[kaleidosouls]

I love your Pearl redesign! I also love that you gave her a more motherly personality, cause Steven deserves a Mom! 💖 (I know he had Garnet in canon, but still)... But is your Pearl still an inventor and knight, like in Canon? 💜Also, what is your Pearl’s relationship with Amethyst, since they don’t argue like in Canon? 💙And how does your Pearl feel about Greg, since the crush on Rose/Pink isn’t there?

thankyou so much!!! this made my day ;w; im answer your questions so apologise that i literally am clinically like, unable to be brief. god how i wish i knew how. i ended up going into way more detail and writing than what you asked so im sorry for using your questions as writing prompts sdgkj

she's still an inventor and knight, and insecure about these traits since they were developed over thousands of years and not what she was made for. rose just thought of her as another joining her forces while pearl could only see it as a transfer of ownership, so in a way she saw learning those skills as a way to be a better servant for rose's cause but no one had really Asked her to pick up arms or technology, she was simply interested in those things without realising it herself. im sure shed be similarly enamoured with the concept of knighthood as it's a more glamourized form of servitude.

pearl and amethyst would have similar like, butting heads in canon except pearl isnt berating and diminishing amethyst like she did, but still a sort of like shes telling or trying to encourage amethyst to 'do her chores' and amethyst hates it and is dramatic about it. pearl is clearly very ocd driven but more meek so she'll tell amethyst, please pick up those things on the floor and amethyst going UGH I HATE IT HERE, its something that over time does make amethyst feel like shes improper but pearl isnt too prideful to not stop when amethyst asks her to, and amethyst learns over time to be more considerate with pearl than just make a fuss every time cause pearl takes it very seriously. pearl still tries to do things she seems helpful sometimes without asking like tidying up a few things in amethyst's room which makes her mad and pearl doesnt understand why but is actually distraught when she makes amethyst unhappy

they are very much still a sort of opposites to eachother but pearl has a more introverted personality, shes more easily embarassed by amethyst's antics than offended. she like cares deeply about her bc she and garnet basically 'raised' amethyst over the hundreds of years since they found her in kindergarden. amethyst has is jealous of both pearl and garnet being so 'put together' and it makes her question herself but shes not in suicidal depression like she is in canon (where she talks about literally not asking to have even been born)

i think further on in canon after some development with steven too theyd get a lot closer and learned to work some of their differences where pearl has learned to 'let loose' some more and amethyst has grown more responsible. pearl needs to learn to exist For herself and not depend on anyone else for her worth and amethyst wants to form an identity for her own and she needs to accept her own flaws and that relying on other people doesnt make her lesser.

wrt greg, i could see pearl initially being very awkward around him. like moments in canon where she like, ducks behind garnet around greg and such except wtihout the context of 'ew the Disgusting Useless manthing that STOLE my gf' and more like, oh no one of the alien people >< greg is such a loose chill guy and itd bump against her neat and tidy outlook, but she would grow to like him and find him fun. i believe All the gems become torn on how to feel about greg when like, rose becomes more attatched to him than them, pearl would specially not understand and feel frustrated why she cant come along on 'dates' because shes used to being around rose as much as possible, rose presumably having already had flings with humans but like, in secret from the others. greg would also be like, Greatly insistent on letting her act in servitude towards him and become upset by her trying to act like what to him is like a maid or something worse, something pearl wont be able to understand for a while until after she sorts this out with steven.

wrt the whole, giving birth to steven, im torn on how to change it in the sense it still doestn Fully make sense to me how it happened anyway but, i feel like pearl would be so shocked she wouldnt really process the depth of what was going to happen until it did. greg should bring up the living conditions for the baby and theyd probably get the house in the temple built before steven's birth, rose finds the idea of the house super endearing but amethyst is the one who suggests greg should 'just move in', and no one has really any complaints about that. (bc theres no valid reason he adn steven couldnt live in a house when they could just build one anytime anyway?? greg is litearlly homeless and poor?? i think rose wouldnt even think to consider that greg's life is difficult, but when greg brings up all his anxieties about raising a baby, the rest of the gems were definitely concerned)

when it happened pearl went throw stages of depression where shes denying rose is really gone because shes just shapeshifted into this baby thing, and unable to really reach or talk to rose or see her over time makes her frustrated and angry and upset in a way not even the gems had ever seen her, where she butts heads with greg who similarly ends up having an outburst because hes in so much grief and he didnt really Want her to be gone and they couldve jsut adopted a human baby but he felt he had no right to deny her the right to have a kid if thats what rose wanted. pearl has a similar thought to canon that if they just pull the gem out rose would come back before snapping back into herself and seeing how everyone is grieving and in pain and that like, Thud in her gut that she really is gone, for real, like she might as well have been shattered, and sinks into a very long depression where shes near catatonic similarly to how she was when losing her diamond. she floats through the motions and does whatever anyone tells her to do but doesnt really talk anymore. everyone else is going through their own like, ways of processing and coping with this and they really dont know how to support each other, and garnet doesnt want to push pearl into fighting because shes barely there mentally so she ends up spending a lot of time in the house with baby steven, with greg picking up working in the car wash like in canon bc hes broke and has a son to raise. i think this is where shed actually pick up the habit of watching steven sleep, this has just ocurred to me sdklgj idk why she does in canon other than canon pearl is a freak but while steven is like an infant and pearl is too depressed to do anything she starts to just watch steven and babies sleep most of the time. greg like, rants out loud to pearl whenever hes home, which is fairly often anyway, like walking himself through the steps of baby 101 and she kinda just watches it almost absentminded, but thanks to her gem processing she Is absorbing most of what greg is saying to her, she just doesnt react much. greg also starts to ask her for help more and let her help with chores which she greatly takes to because its like thank god something to fullfill my self worth and give me something i can do. i think this is what gets her slowly becoming more active again because of settling into a parent routine and caring for a baby gives her more than enough things to do. shes intially scared of even touching steven like he will break, and theres a lot of like, alien doesnt know how human babies work moments, but she starts to absorb herself in parent 101 books and knocking at vidalia's door with a questionaire and becoming familiarised with baby stuff. itd probably get to the point greg has to like pry steven from her bc steven is His son you know. i think pearl and greg would probably end up becoming pretty good friends through this experience, honestly. same with garnet and amethyst. greg would take a much more active role in steven's life than having to distance himself bc of 'gem stuff', he would also raise steven to love music the same way in canon.

i think while pearl and greg wont get along 100% of the time, as their personalities dont quite meld, theyd be a pretty good co-parenting duo. greg would teach pearl a lot about humans that she had no idea about and she takes his lessons to heart, often Too literally, and he has to clarify things to her later. she would share the feeling from canon that humans seem 'very fragile', speciallyafter spending time with a baby. she probably became really horrified at all the horrible ways babies could crack their skulls that contributed to her overprotectiveness of steven later. as well as her mentally transferring her servitude from rose to steven. i think many people would regularly assume pearl to be steven's nanny or maid than a mother bc thats how she acts like, which like upsets steven when hes in his teens because he wants her to be his friend, not his maid.

anyway no one is gonna read all of this but tahnk you sdlgkjs oh and to add, while i dont want pearl to have a crush on rose i believe she would idolize/admire her in a way people could interpret as crush-like but i want her to feel about rose as platonically as garnet and amethyst do. like its simply not a romantic thing bc in canon she is Literally her owner and in my au pearl thinks of her as such.

Chook & Sosig Walk the Plank | Part 1

The Adventurer's Log

Release Date: 2019

It's time for some point and click role-playing pirates. Chook & Sosig is an indie game I got in one of the giant itch.io bundles (it's also on Steam) ages ago and kept meaning to get around to and not actually doing so. Its time has come.

I did find out after my first session that the dev had made a few tiny free games previous to this one that would have probably given more context and more of an introduction to these characters, but that's okay. The characters get introduced at the start and I'm not feeling like I'm missing too much by not having played them. Just go with the flow!

So this is your standard point & click with the pointing and the clicking and inventory, but it's framed as a group of anthropomorphic characters, both dead and alive, who have come together in the pub to play a role-playing game and their game master has set it for a pirate theme. So the game itself is set in this pirate game, while it occasionally goes back to the gaming table for some banter and comments from the players.

To introduce our group of players we've got:

Sosig: The blue spaghetti cat, one of the two titular characters and the one we play.

Chook: A ghost chicken and Sosig's buddy. I'm not sure anyone else is actually aware of her? She also acts as the hint system because she peeked at the GM's notes.

Cow: An undead cow head, one of Sosig's best friends and proud to be one of the living dead.

Exley: The owner of the pub, the Cheeky Unicorn, and the Game master here. Also undead, an undead sheep.

From left to right: Sosig, Chook, Cow, Exley.

Hebble: An energetic and playful fox who theoretically helps Exley at the bar, and seems to be a bit of a mischief maker.

Min: A bat who is also the only psychic around and keeping Hebble in line here.

From left to right: Exley, Hebble, Min.

Going with the flow and hey, alive or dead, they're all kind of cute.

With introductions out of the way we got started landing us on the first island:

Cape Codnapper.

And Sosig looking the part with his bandana hat and eyepatch. The first goal was to find the other characters. I went to the building first which turned out to be a shop owned by Cow. Although Cow was really using it more as an excuse for a place to store his hoarded items. Customers ew.

Customers are unfortunate consequences that must be dealt with.

I examined all the things, including that gold fish who was apparently washed up in that bowl and rescued by Cow who would like to get him a proper tank (eventual puzzle goal?), and of course, I had a chat with Cow. I was also able to get the torch off the wall and Cow just let me have it.

Back outside I then met Min's character, a somewhat superstitious pirate.

She wants to set sail, but the fountain has stopped running and it's apparently bad luck to sail while the fountain is stopped. Our first goal is here!

She also talks about a treasure on a haunted island and a wish granting Sea Goddess. Goals?

At the other end of the island I found the dry fountain and Chook. Chook was playing a retired pirate because she didn't want to do anything except hang out and provide clues and hints.

Nearby, was Hebble playing a fortune-teller, or attempting to anyway.

He was having trouble getting the crystal ball to work. He also gave me info though: Cow was the one to stop the fountain by pulling out a side panel and doing something in there.

I pulled out the panel and found a series of switches for which I'd obviously need a code.

I went back to question Cow. He did turn it off so that people would have to stay, and as the only shop here, they'd have to buy from him. Since he doesn't like customers he'd just sky rocket the prices so simply selling one item a month would keep him afloat. I had a few different threatening choices such as the dreaded cruise ship and browsing oh no, and got him to break with the threat of greasy kids getting their greasy hands all over everything.

Exley wasn't entirely happy with Cow's character breaking so easily, but Sosig is apparently persuasive. Greasy kids, nooo!

He sent me on a trail through a small series of notes that ultimately led to a note with the right code and so I was able to activate the fountain and set sail!

Not many islands. Yet. There was more map to be found.

I first went to a sea shrine. There were doors with a couple statues with movable arms that would affect panels above the door raising them up and down. I assumed I'd need a bit more info before dealing with that so I left it. (Spoiler: I did not need more info).

Then I went to a place called the Adventurer's Guild.

I met another character Hebble was playing, this time a very enthusiastic hunter... who just loves animals... on the wall where they won't keep running around and acting up. Pleasant. And he just loves displaying things... But he also had a map kicking around. Once I was able to find it I discovered it was also missing islands but it turned out he'd put them down in ultraviolet ink to keep pirates away. He didn't believe Sosig was a pirate though. I would need ultraviolet light to read the map so there was the next goal!

I then found Goblin Isle with a handy-dandy information sign.

From the sign I learned, among other things, of a luminescent orchid that gives off ultraviolet light.

Further in I found the orchid but it wasn't doing well because it was shaded by foliage. Then I found the goblins themselves. The group complained about there being goblins in a pirate themed game, but Exley didn't have pirate figures and did have goblins, so he'd make them fit. I'll take goblins anywhere!

They also had a parrot! And some scissors. The goblins were making soup for themselves and as an offering to the sea goddess, but they needed fire to actually cook it. If I could bring them fire, they'd let me have the scissors. What they did let me take was their beloved bitey parrot 'child', so the parrot could go travelling and learn. After all:

"A well-educated goblin... is a DANGEROUS goblin. Wise words to live by. This whole bit was adorable.

I went back to the Adventurer's Guild and Cape Codnapper in search of fire. I had no luck but I was able to get the parrot to bite the cork or whatever off a keg of rum and what else do you with rum but soak your unlit torch in it? Still no fire.

I went back to the sea shrine as the still unsolved area and this time got the door. It really was just trial and error and paying attention to what moved what... mainly trial and error for me. It opened into a cave with a lit torch where I was able to get fire for my rum-soaked torch. Deeper down I found another character played by Cow.

Cow was claiming to be a part of a cult selling Goddess Water. 100% not a multi-level marketing scheme nosiree. He also writes poems, but no one likes them and all left, so now it's just him and a pile of bottles of the 'best water'. But Sosig asked to join and got a voucher to use at the shop.

I went back to Goblin Isle with my lit torch. Sosig comments on it staying lit in the rain at the sea shrine island, so I assume the fire would have gone out if I hadn't soaked the torch in rum first. Some unknown advance planning there!

The goblins let me take the scissors in return for the fire, but the scissors were too dull to cut with. Taking the voucher back to the shop I was able to use it to search Cow's junk bin where I found some sandpaper and could use that on the scissors. Then I was able to cut the foliage, get the orchid and bring it back to read the map, unlocking more islands to visit.

I'm still not sure what the plot will end up being, but by Min's comments, the goblin talk and the Goddess water I'm assuming I'll need to find the treasure and the Sea Goddess? Exley, what's the plan!

My plan was to check out the new islands.

I first went to Forsaken Atoll where I found Viking Min.

She told me about how she and her crew were looking for the Sea Goddess to grant them a wish for a bigger boat. But they got lost and she's an aggressive sailor. She crashed the boat and her crew left her. I was able to light her fire and warm her feet though...! I couldn't do anything else here. Maybe later?

I then found a tavern, The Beast Below.

There were a few important points here. Cow's character runs the place with Hebble's character helping as the waitstaff.

Outside are some gulls for a Gull Mail service. One of them was particularly grumpy and feral and tore up a bunch of letters and flyers for its own nesting, but really the gull success rate in general for their mail delivery was only about 50%.

There is a cocktail menu but I can't order any until proving myself a hero and none of my deeds so far were heroic enough.

There's also a customer feedback book in which everything written was done by Hebble.

Hebble is just on break because no customers means breaks though he may be feeding Cow some white lies about how exactly that works. He was also the one to suggest the cocktail menu instead of the more pirate-y goodness, which led to all their customers leaving previously. Pirates! They want grog, not cocktails!

To use the gull mail service a mail token was needed. Cow would give me only if I got a mail card. I could get one from a business he sent some too. He also set up the gull service as competition to the bottle mail service run by goblins because he doesn't like goblins and also wanted a use for the feral seagulls outside.

From there I went next to an island that turned out to be said Bottle Mail Central run by goblins and another of Min's characters, the Goblin Queen. She did not like the gull mail service. The gulls keep ripping up the haunted treasure flyers even removing the address! One of those flyers would be useful for us... Pirate and treasure after all.

The party once more commented on the goblins.

Hey, I'm not complaining. Use those goblins.

Hebble brought up having lots of dinosaurs too and even a dragon. Exley shut him down. But dinosaurs! I'm with Hebble here.

Anyhoo, Min was happy to give me her mail card as she wanted nothing to do with the seagull service, and had left it with one of the bottle goblins. Unfortunately, that goblin lost it to a polar bear. That polar bear likely ended up at the Adventurer's Guild as there aren't normally polar bears around, so if it's there it's likely the one.

It sure did end there! As a rug... I found the card in its mouth but had to open it. The tail was also a spot to interact with and pulling it did open the mouth but I needed a way to hold the tail in place to keep the mouth open. Parrot time again.

I got the card!

Before I went back to the tavern I made a stop by the last island I hadn't checked out yet. Secret Reef.

There was a sad gull. I was able to light a fire in the stove and get a tap dripping on the hot plate, but otherwise couldn't find anything to do here at the moment, so another place for later I suppose.

Then I went back to give the card to Cow and get my token. The token caused a bell to go up a pulley alerting two of the three gulls and getting them to leave their nests but not the third at the top, which was the one I really wanted, because the pulley got stuck on a knot I had to cut first. That got the top gull to move. It came down with a flyer piece in its beak but was too angry to let me near. I'd need a way to calm it.

Like...a calming poem? Goddess Water Cow was willing to write one but needed a pen; his were dried up. He previously bought his from the wonderful shop on Cap Codnapper. So, onward.

Nah, never that easy. Shopkeeper Cow no longer had any pens due to waitstaff Hebble buying them all. Back to the tavern, where Hebble was willing to give me one but only if I wrote a good review for him. Sosig promised to do so, but the pen is out of ink.

And so that's my next goal. Try to find some ink. I'm not actually sure where to go about doing. Hebble suggested the ink of octopus and other similar critters. I'll see what I can find next time...

tbott blurb

techno and y/n babysit tommy, and his new friend tubbo:)

no warnings:)

^^^^^^^^^^^

Techno blinked lazily as he chewed on a piece of toast. y/n had only woken him up about ten minutes ago, and he regrets not staying in bed. Currently, Tommy was standing next to the Technos chair tugging at the bottom of his shirt trying to get his attention. It was far too early to interact with Tommy, so techno was ignoring him.

“Techno he's about to cry.'' Phil said with a slight laugh. He wasn't wrong. Tommy was indeed about to cry.

Techno sighed and looked down at Tommy, “what.”

“I'm gonna have a friend today!” Tommy said excitedly. Suddenly no trace of incoming tears on his expression. Technos brows furrowed and he looked over his shoulder at his father and best friend stood in the kitchen.

“See it was pointless, now I'm just confused.” he said annoyed.Y/n and Phil laughed.

“Or you could ask him what he means?” Y/n said.

Techno sighed again, “what ever could you mean by that thomas.” Techno said sarcastically to his baby brother.

Tommy looked at him slightly confused for a moment.

“Techno..” Phil said, mock disappointment in his tone. “My friend Sam needed help with something today, so he's gonna bring his son over, and i was going to ask y/n to babysit, because Wills out with friends.” he looked to Y/n.

“Sure! Sounds fun.” Y/n said with a soft smile.

Tommy grinned excitedly, he hadn't met sam's son yet, but he was excited anyways.

“Is he the same age as tommy?” Y/n asked Phil.

“A bit older I think, Sam said he's quite shy but he's really well behaved.” he passed her a coffee he'd just made. She nodded and thanked him.

Phil was really glad to have her around so much lately.

Techno looked at Y/n fondly as she made her way over to sit next to him. Tommy climbed into a seat across from her so he could tell her all of the exciting plans he had for the day that he'd thought of moments before.

As techno tuned out the baby babble from Tommy, he stared at his best friend for a bit.

“Are you gonna stick around?” she asked him, snapping him out of his daze.

“Hm?” he asked, not fully hearing the context of the question.

“When sam's son comes.” she said with airy laugh, realizing he wasn't listening whatsoever.

“Oh. Do you want me to?” he usually doesn't even stay around when she's watching only Tommy, so she excitedly nodded. He shrugged, “then I will.”

Y/n was even more excited now.

Y/n listened to Tommy for a little while longer before the doorbell rang and Phil walked quickly from the kitchen to open it.

When he opened the door, Phil embraced him momentarily and they shared some hellos and how are yous before Phil turned and pointed Y/n out.

“Thats Y/n! She watches Tommy all the time and she's amazing at it.” he smiled proudly.Y/n stood and made her way over to shake Sam's hand, “hello!”

“And that one sat at the table” he pointed to Techno who looked over at them, “is one of my other sons.” Techno gave a small wave.

“Does Y/n babysit that one too?” sam joked. Phil and y/n both laughed softly,

“I would say so.” phil said.

Techno glared and Y/n laughed.

“Alright then! We should be off!” Phil said.

“Right! Y/n this is Tubbo, his name is Toby but that's his nickname, he likes it better. He's a bit shy but i'm sure he won't cause any trouble at all.'' Sam patted the shoulder of the dark haired boy by his side.

Tubbo waved up at her shyly, and she offered him a sweet smile and a wave back.

Over at the table, Tommy was practically vibrating in excitement.

Sam nudged Tubbo inside after giving him a hug and a sweet goodbye, so Phil and him could be on their way.

Once the front door was closed, Y/n clasped her hands together.

“Alright! Have you had breakfast yet?” Y/n asked, looking at the small boy in front of her. He shook his head and she nodded.

She pointed to the table tommy and techno were at and told him he could take a seat so she could get started on breakfast for him and tommy.

Once he was seated at the table, Tommy finally decided it was his time to introduce himself.

“Hello! I am Tommy, I like dirt, disks and I like fire. Were best friends now.” he said proudly.

Tubbo stared at him a moment before smiling and nodding.

Techno stared at the pair, almost laughing.

Tubbo caught technos glance, and stared back at him for a moment,

“You have a metal booger.” he said matter of factly.

Y/n snorted a laugh from the kitchen and Techno scoffed looking over his shoulder, “Don't laugh at that!”

“It's the first thing he's said while he's been here!” Y/n said with a snort

“It's a nose ring.” he said, looking at tubbo, resting his arm on the table. Tubbo nodded and Tommy ignored the conversation and started to tell Tubbo his entire plan for the day.

Techno sighed and stood, walking to the kitchen. He walked behind Y/n and rested his chin on her shoulder.

“Can you make me breakfast?” he mumbled.

“Didn't you just eat?” she said.

“...yes,” he said.

“Then no.” y/n laughed techno pouted and she swated her hand at him, he laughed and picked his head up. “Go check on the boys for me?” Y/n asked him sweetly.

He didn't want to, but he did anyway. As he walked back to the dining room, he stood dumbfounded.

Tommy and tubbo, and all of the chairs that were at the table, were gone.

He looked at the living room, and there they were. They had somehow, silently, moved all the chairs to the living room and were attempting to make a fort.

He made his way over to the couch quietly, and crossed his arms.

“This is all wrong Tommy, have I taught you nothing?” he said, a small smile on his face.

Tommy and Tubbo looked up abruptly, startled after not noticing him come in.

Tommy pouted and tubbo smiled innocently.

“Here, let me help.” Techno made his way into the middle of the living room with the smaller boys and started grabbing the couch cushions to set across the tops of the chairs to create a little cubby underneath. The boys watched in wonder. “Okay now we need blankets and-”

“Pillows?” Y/n cut techno off as she stood in behind the couch, a large smile on her face and a hand on her hip.

He looked at her for a moment. And then laughed softly. “Yeah.” he awkwardly scratched the back of his neck.

On the other side of the fort, Tubbo looked at Tommy, “are they boyfriend and girlfriend?” he whispered.

Tommy looked at him, appalled. “Ew no that's yucky.” he made a disgusted face and tubbo giggled.

Y/n rolled her eyes at the three boys, and turned on her heel, “How about we finish the fort after breakfast?”

The boys nodded excitedly and raced back to the table.

Techno shook his head as he followed behind the boys with a small blush on his cheeks.

He sat down at the table with them even though he wasn't eating.

Y/n placed two plates of cut up waffles in front of tommy and tubbo, and took a seat next to techno across from them.

Subtly, Techno tugged her chair closer to his and she blushed softly.

Tommy and Tubbo were talking about their fort, and techno was listening.

Y/n smiled fondly, Techno claimed he hated kids but he was so good with them. Y/n watched as tubbo reached over at techno, probably trying to grab his nose ring, and Techno laughed and swatted at his hand. Y/n stood, silently going down the hallway to Techno’s and Tommy's bedrooms to gather blankets and pillows.

While she dropped a pile of blankets onto the couch and some pillows next to it, Techno was helping the boys take care of their dirty plates.

The boys ran out of the kitchen to the dining room, excited to get back to their fort. Techno followed smiling happily, grinning even more when he saw y/n.

“Dad texted me saying he and Sam will be back in a bit. Not for the whole day, just to grab some things.” he said, standing next to her. She nodded.

They both watched as Tommy told Tubbo where to place things.

They were currently pretending they were starting a country for themselves.

Y/n bumped technos side, “Thought you hated kids?”

Techno shrugged and smiled at her, “It's nice to see Tommy with someone of his..chaotic level.”

Y/n placed her hands on her upper arms as goosebumps started to raise on her arms. Techno noticed, “Is that sweatshirt you keep here still in my room?” he asked.

Y/n was looking at Tubbo as he crawled out from under the fort, giggling wildly as Tommy chased behind him.

“No, I brought that home to wash and I didnt bring it back.” she said, smiling at the boys in front of them.

Techno nodded and wordlessly disappeared down the hallway, Y/n glanced towards him for a moment before looking back to tommy and tubbo.

Her eyes widened as she watched Tommy drag Tubbo back under the fort by his feet, she would've been more worried but Tubbo was still laughing loudly clearly having fun. She laughed to herself as techno came back down the hallway, a red sweatshirt in his hands.

y/n raised her eyebrows, very surprised. “Seriously?”

Techno shrugged. “Aren't you cold?”

“Well yeah but-” she paused. “Nevermind. Thank you.” she grabbed it out of his hands before he could change his mind.

Y/n pulled it over her head.

Just as she was about to join the boys when suddenly, she heard gasps.

Both boys quickly fumbled out of the fort and down the hall to Tommy's room, Tubbo running after Tommy.

Confused, Y/n and techno stood for a second before Y/n heard techno sniff the air.

“Why does it smell like fire?” he asked nervously.

“Fire? What-” Y/n was thoroughly confused.

With sudden realization Techno quickly made his way around the couch looking into the fort, and only a tad bit surprisingly, one of the blankets inside were on fire.

His eyes widened and he quickly ran to the kitchen to get under the sink,

“What are you-”

Just before she could finish her sentence, the front door opened with Sam and Phil standing on the front steps, just in time to watch Techno run back into the living room to extinguish the fort with the fire extinguisher.

Sam's eyes went wide.

Once Techno had successfully extinguished the fire, he stood up straight, looking to his father.

“Hi..dad..” he said sheepishly.

“Where are Tommy and Tubbo?” Phil asked, trying to keep calm.

“They ran to Tommy's room” y/n said softly.

Sam visibly relaxed.

Phil was silent for a moment. Almost speechless.

“How!?” Phil yelled.

🎶 Back on the bullshit I never got off🎶

Is this another unnecessary story arc?? With three sections??

Yes.

Wushanju Crew Chat

Wang Meng: You know, I’m someone who appreciates consistency in my day. My life is pleasant, very few issues indeed if you ignore the big ones. And yet. Yet here we are. With unresolved messes at the end of a day.

Wang Pangzi: SOMETHIN YOU NEED TO SAY MARY POPPINS

Wang Meng: We need to talk about Huo Daofu and the glittery bead curtain.

Wang Pangzi: MY FAVE TEEN WIZARD SERIES

Wu Xie: did you turn on that suggested word thingy lol

What glittery bead curtain

Wang Meng: I closed the shop at 6:00pm this evening on the dot. I locked all of the doors in and out of the shop very carefully, especially in light of recent events. The hall leading to the back office was empty. I filed the day’s paperwork, updated and sent emails, and then spent an extra hour organizing receipts and dusting. When I came back out, there were glittery iridescent bead curtains over the front entrance to the shop.

What could this mean?

Wu Xie: uh that you need to spend less time at work?

Wang Pangzi: LOOKS LIKE WE GOT ONE FOR THE DETECTIVES. THE MYSTERY OF THE BEDAZZLED THRESHOLD COMMENCES

Wu Xie: I think we can be relatively secure in thinking a glittery bead curtain isn’t a hostile threat

Wang Pangzi: SAYS YOU

I REMEMBER YE OLDE EXPLORATION TIMES HOW FAST THINGS GOT FURIOUS

BEANBAG CHAIRS SET AFLAME AND LEFT ON DOORSTEPS AS A WARNING

GLITTERBOMBS FOR DAYS

PANIC AT THE DISCO

Wang Meng: Ugh, forget it. I should have just taken them down, regardless of who they belong to.

Zhang Qiling: They are not mine.

Wang Pangzi: A BOLD STATEMENT COMING FROM OUR PRIME SUSPECT

SOMEONE QUICK GO DRAW CHALK AROUND THE DOORWAY TO MARK THE SCENE OF THE CRIME

Wang Meng: Do we know anyone who *would* sneak in and put those up? For whatever reason, legal or not? Even as a joke?

Wang Pangzi: ARE YOU SERIOUSLY ASKING WHETHER WE KNOW ANYONE WHO IS CHAOTIC, AN OUTLAW, A PRANKSTER AND/OR SNEAKS INTO PLACES

BECAUSE THAT WOULD MEAN OUR SUSPECT LIST IS LITERALLY EVERYONE WE KNOW EXCEPT FOR YOU.

Wu Xie: okay let’s think about this; for starters, I didn’t break into my own shop

Wang Meng: You would be in danger of doing some work in the process, that’s true.

Wang Pangzi: LOL

Wu Xie: ANYWAY let’s keep going. For example, Xiao Ge would only break in somewhere for a good reason. Xiao Ge, did you do this?

Zhang Qiling: No.

Wu Xie: okay who’s next

Wang Pangzi: YOU REALLY MISSED YOUR CALLING IN INTERROGATION TIANZHEN

REALLY PUT THE SCREWS TO HIM

IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE;)

Zhang Qiling: How can we be certain *you* didn’t do it?

Wang Meng: Admittedly that was my guess, too.

Wang Pangzi: WOW I SEE HOW IT IS

BLAME PANGZI AS USUAL

ANYWAY HOW DOES HUO DAOFU FIT INTO THIS

Wu Xie: Oh yeah him! Oops I got distracted

Wang Pangzi: UR ENTIRE HISTORY IN A NUTSHELL

Wu Xie: Ugh fuck off

Wang Meng what abt Huo Daofu??

Zhang Qiling: ?

Wu Xie: oh sorry xiaoge I didn’t realize you wouldn’t have spent much time around him last year

He and I go way back

Zhang Qiling: Way back where?

Wang Pangzi: YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHO HUO DAOFU IS

YOU WERE EXTREMELY POLITE AND BORDERLINE FRIENDLY TOWARDS HIM

Zhang Qiling: I wanted him to feel welcome. I wanted to be sure he understands he has a place here. A specific place.

Wang Pangzi: FOR A SILENT GUY YOU ARE A MASTER AT SUBTLE POWER PLAYS IM ALL TINGLY

LMAO THE IDEA OF WU XIE LEAVING YOU FOR HUO DAOFU IS HILARIOUS AND ALSO NOPE

Zhang Qiling: Rationally, I understand that.

Main Chat

Wang Meng: Huo Daofu is coming for the weekend—didn’t Wu Xie tell you? Wu Xie asked me to check in a week ahead so we could start getting ready for his arrival

Wu Xie: oh yeah I did do that

Wang Meng: Fortunately I know you and so I already went ahead and took care of everything.

Re: the trip

He made a deal with Wu Xie’s doctor that he would do periodic checkups on him here at Wushanju

Bc Wu Xie hates being in the hospital

And frankly the hospital hates him too

Wang Pangzi: FAMILIARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT LOL

I FORGOT HUO DAOFU WAS DOING THAT

A VERY CHIVALROUS GESTURE

WOULDNT YOU SAY

XIOAGE

Zhang Qiling: Is it safe for him to be here with a criminal loose on the premises?

Wu Xie: Right, back to the curtain! Let’s focus on the curtain, hmm?

Wang Pangzi: I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS WEEKEND.

ALSO WE CAN RULE OUT XIAO BAI FOR THE CURTAIN SHE JUST SENT A SELFIE FROM NORWAY COVERED IN GREEN SLIME WITH ZERO CONTEXT, UR PROTEGE INDEED

Wu Xie: okay but who else would do something so oddly charming yet illegal and—wait.

Wu Xie: oh everything is normal and fine and safe as usual, why do you ask:)

Li Cu: I heard about ur necklace thing. nice of you to NOT mention it.

Ur lucky your cool boyfriend cares about you so much or you’d have already died like ten years ago

Wu Xie: lol try twenty years ago

Li Cu: That isn’t funny.

Unknown Number: …What?

Wu Xie: shit ur right, okay that was a bit glib, my apologies.

…I use humor as a coping mechanism?

Unknown Number: and Li Cu, how do you feel about that?

Li Cu: he doesn’t even know what that phrase means

He doesn’t cope, like ever

In fact

It’s kind of why we met

Which is a funny story in retrospect tbh

Wu Xie: haha what are you talking about sweetie hahaha need I remind you of certain anecdotes that could idk send me to jail maybe lmao

Unknown Number: …You know, perhaps an in-person meeting might be more effective?

Wu Xie: haha such a nice idea but why

Main Chat

Wu Xie: If I go to jail, I’ll have to create alliances for protection, right, that’s how it works on tv

Who do we know who spends time in jail

Other than Hei Yangjing, he’s only ever there for like 12 hours and i suspect he just gets himself arrested bc he enjoys the breaking out process

Also how’s the curtain case coming along

Zhang Qiling: Has someone threatened you?

Wu Xie: well not yet but soon I’m sure

Wang Pangzi: WHERE WAS THIS PARANOIA WHEN WE GOT TAKEN TO THE TEA HOUSE HUH

Ugh maybe for like one afternoon we could go to Ms. Lee together? She knows how to word stuff

Wu Xie: uh…okay.

Li Cu: Anyway you don’t need to worry abt jail

As if you would survive prison for one day you’d piss off half the place in like an hour or less

I gave Ms. Lee the heavily edited version of the desert highway to hell roadtrip and i discussed it more in terms of like “nightmarish but still wouldn’t take any of it back”

Well maybe the sand

that shit was everywhere

Wu Xie: oh kiddo. It’s fine, really…You don’t have to explain yourself to me.

Li Cu: no, no it’s just

I do technically have a dad

who is an asshole. Being a son doesn’t really mean shit to me bc it sucked.

So you need to stop backing down just cuz ur guilty abt stuff. I’m really really glad ur not my dad in a good way. Do u get what I mean there

Where’s the mafia widower I followed into hell, huh

Wu Xie: Ur a good kid, despite my influence. I’m really glad you have someone to talk to after everything I…after everything. Wow this talking through feelings thing is kind of weird but nice ur right

Focus on the curtain thing

Just stfu and go away

Wu Xie: <3 screenshotting this <3

Li Cu: I take back everything I said. This is why Xiao Ge sleeps on the roof. I hope the ghosts of the Wangs put up that curtain to strangle you somehow. Go die in a stupid way, it’ll suit you.

Wu Xie: lol don’t worry I’m not gonna embarrass you with it or anything

Main Chat

Wu Xie: omg guys look how cute my kid is *sending screenshot*

Instead, it leads him to a beautiful noble omega he cannot have, a political plot he cannot escape, and a threat on his life. ❤️ Read on AO3

He needs company, companionship, to knot ― he needs an Omega Heat Companion. At least, that’s what the Healers say, and even Draco can admit contacting the person they’ve referred him to might be nice. Of course it turns out to be bloody Potter. ❤️ Read on AO3

When he finally gets one (with Draco Malfoy's name on it), he almost wishes he hadn't. Malfoy is everything Harry hadn't expected him to be, and out of the shambles of Harry's common sense arises a friendship that threatens to be more. Can Harry keep his mission secret from Malfoy? And even if he can do that, is it even possible for him to keep his hands off of Malfoy when he offers to help Harry through a rut after learning that Harry is exceptionally aggressive and violent during them? +++++ I have already completed this fic, I will be posting once, maybe twice weekly, depending on how well-received it is! I am also working on the second part, and have it half-way written. ❤️ Read on AO3

Everyone knew what it meant when Malfoy didn't return to Hogwarts for his fifth year. Harry had done a spectacular job at denying it at first, of course. Tried convincing himself that it was just because Voldemort was back. That the Malfoys probably just ran off with their Dark Lord, or, what he had hoped most, had run away from him. It wasn't until Hermione gave him that look that said that if he didn't pull his head out of his arse soon, he was going to be absolutely hit upside the head, that he had to accept it. Malfoy hadn't returned to school because Draco Malfoy had presented Omega. ❤️ Read on AO3
