Brother’s Best Friend - Nicholas Chavez x fem!reader

summary: you’re Cooper Koch’s sister, coming to visit him after his success in Monsters where you meet his co-star.

warnings: slightly suggestive at the end!

word count: 752

a/n: lmk if this needs a part two because i will write it.

Being the sibling of an actor wasn’t easy. Your older brother, Cooper, quickly became well known after Monsters blew up. To celebrate, you drove to LA to see him.

You had visited plenty of times before, living in California, but this time was different. Something in the air felt so wonderful as you drove, windows down, wind through your hair. Today was going to be good, you could feel it.

You pulled into the driveway of your brother’s house, noticing a couple of other cars, but not thinking anything of it. When you strolled up to the front door, you didn’t even get the chance to knock before the door flew open.

Cooper exclaimed your name, pulling you into a tight hug. “I didn’t know you were coming!” He said, hugging you still. You chuckled, hugging him back.

“That was the point!” The two of you stood on the porch, simply enjoying each other’s embrace for a minute before you whispered. “I’m so proud of you.”

He relaxed at that, slowly pulling away to look at you properly. “Thank you.”

Before you could say anything else, your attention was drawn to the man standing at the doorway. It only took a second for you to recognize him.

“Oh! This is Nicholas. Nic, this is my sister,” Cooper said, stepping back to introduce you two.

You smiled, nodding at him.“Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you, too,” Nicholas nodded, although his eyes lingered over you a little bit longer than they should have.

Cooper cleared his throat, putting his hands together and smiling. “Okay, come in, come in!” He ushered, pulling you inside with them.

“I hope I’m not interrupting,” you say as you walk into Cooper’s house, entering the living room.

“Oh, not at all. We were just hanging out,” Cooper explains, sitting on the couch and patting the spot next to him. You joined him, Nicholas taking the spot on the other side of you. “So. Fill me in. What’s new and exciting?” He asks, smiling at the cliche question and picking his drink up.

You chuckled, shaking your head. He knew how much you hated when your relatives would ask that after a long period of not seeing them. “Same old, same old. School, work, sleep, and repeat, y’know?”

“Nothing new at all? No new friends, more than friends?” Cooper teases, nudging you and sending a wink your way.

For some reason, the question makes your cheeks flush. You knew this was just Cooper being Cooper, but something about Nicholas sitting next to you made it awkward. “You’re acting like we haven’t spoken in months, I texted you yesterday,” you laughed, shaking your head. “You would already know.”

He smiles, nodding his head. “I know, I know, just teasing you. Do you want a drink?” He asks, moving to stand.

“Uh, maybe just water?” You ask, thanking him as he moves for the kitchen. Nicholas takes this opportunity to speak up.

“What school do you go to?” He asks, and it’s clear his eyes have been on you since he sat back down.

“Oh, University of California San Diego,” You nod, smiling at him. It was nice of him to fill the silence, because you know you wouldn’t have the courage to.

“Really? That’s cool. What do you do there?” He asks, sipping at his drink.

Fuck. You knew he’d ask that. You clear your throat, suddenly finding a loose thread in your shirt very interesting.

“I’m an anatomy major.”

Nicholas chokes on his drink, immediately bringing a hand up to his mouth. You can’t help but chuckle, seeing him struggle to swallow it. He laughs once he does, nodding and wiping his mouth.

“Anatomy, really?” He asks, the two of you chuckling again.

“Yup. Gonna do something in the medical field, not quite sure what yet.”

He nods slowly, putting his drink back down. “You gotta be pretty smart to do that, huh?” Nicholas asks, smiling at you.

It takes you a minute to respond, finding yourself hypnotized by him. His pretty smile, eyes, hair. Everything, really. Your smile sticks until you remember he asked you something. “Oh! Yeah. I mean, I guess. It’s not easy work,” you ramble, trying to recover from that awkward silence, feeling your face heat up again.

Nicholas laughs again, watching the color bleed into your cheeks. “Well, if you never need a reference, I’m here.”

[candlestickmick]

Seeing how people (chronically online teenage girls) are trying to cancel Nicholas Chavez, I think he has a chance of sticking around for at least another few years.

[candlestickmick]

about the Nicholas Alexander Chavez drama with him kissing Chloe, I honestly don’t get why everyone is so pissed. He has a girlfriend yes, but she was in the room and didn’t tell him off. They’re grown ass people. It looked like it was just touchy to me, plus it was a goddamn duck lip peck. I’m like that with my friends sometimes so I don’t see it. I’m just low key worried all the parasocial people are gonna make him stop pursuing acting because the comment section of his latest insta post is NASTY. can we just be supportive of the man’s success because this feels like some highschool shit…

sorry for the rant I just wanted to post my feelings somewhere!!!!

Evan Peters x Actress!reader

summary: Evan is your boyfriend, but has been hesitant lately about showing you off.

word count: 658

a/n: this is not my best work, i just had the itch to write, so bear with me. criticism and suggestions are welcome <3

warnings: none!

You and Evan had been seeing each other for a few months now, under the radar. It started as a coffee date after a chemistry read, where you were casted as a couple in an upcoming movie. You had hit it off pretty well, and one thing led to another.

It was four months in, and it was getting harder and harder to hide. Your urges to soft launch him on your story were strong, but not as strong as your loyalty to Evan. You would have to talk to him about it first.

“Hey, Ev?” You ask, lifting your head from his chest. The two of you were sitting on his couch, curled into blankets, watching one of those cheesy Hallmark movies. He hums in response, taking a second to tear his eyes from the screen. “What do you think of me maybe posting you just on my Instagram story?” You offer, sitting up a bit more to sit face to face.

Evan paused, clearly not expecting that question. He lets out a prolonged “Uhh” for a second, grabbing the remote to pause the TV. “I mean, I don’t know,” he says eventually, scratching the back of his head in thought.

“Not anything super serious. Just…a soft launch.” You say, watching his expression as it sticks. “I just feel like it’s been long enough. Y’know?”

He hums at that, clearing his throat. “I thought we were gonna wait until after the show aired.” Evan looks at you fully then, making eye contact with you. It sticks for a moment, an unvoiced conversation happening between the two of you.

You deflate, seeing the hesitance in his eyes. “Listen..” He comforts softly, pulling you close again. “I know. It’s easy to jump right into showing each other off when we like each other so much, but I’ve been burned before. I’m not saying I don’t believe in us, I just think we should wait. Okay?” He explains, hand slowly running up and down your arm.

Part of you wants to lash out. Yell about how he’s not proud of you, and he doesn’t deserve you. But that small part of you understands. You weren’t just normal people. Relationships were a big deal in this industry, and had to be passed around carefully. Luckily, that part took hold as you relaxed into his side. “Okay,” you whisper, nodding and returning to your position on his chest. He reaches for the remote and the movie resumes, gaining your full attention once more.

—————————————————————————

Today marked the six month anniversary of you and Evan’s relationship. Half a year may not seem like a big deal to most adult relationships, but to you two, it was something to celebrate. Your TV show had just come out, it was getting great ratings, the two of you were scheduling interview after interview. This was your excuse to be alone.

Evan had made a reservation at a fairly fancy restaurant, telling you to dress your best. You spent at least two hours getting dolled up, and maybe matching your outfit to the color of his suit.

When you two arrived, you were seated immediately. It was a beautiful, dimly lit restaurant with off-white linen tablecloths. The prices were nowhere to be found on the menu, which is how you really knew it was bad.

Before you could think about it any further, you heard the click of Evan’s phone camera. You look up, seeing your boyfriend smiling at his phone, solidifying your theory.

“Did you just take a picture of me?” You ask, watching him tuck his phone away.

“Maybe. Is that a problem?” He teased, picking his glass up to sip his wine.

“I suppose not,” You chuckle. “Who are you sending that to?”

“You’ll see.”

HOT TO GO! Comic cover 🍕🏳️‍🌈

[candlestickmick]

There are two things that make Mike Crew such a funny character.

1. He’s just… such a bad person. Leaving aside avatar stuff, because every avatar does casual murder, Mike Crew was was terrible even before he became an avatar. He’s already got a body count by the time he encounters Ex Altiora. The statement giver of that episode is like ‘I’m pretty sure this child is willing to murder me for that book’.Got his parents killed by a spooky book and was like ‘yeah, I want more of that’. Casually murdered someone (many someones?) with the Boneturner’s Tale and then when he decides it’s just not quite working for him, chucks it in a library a place where it’s guaranteed to ruin someone else’s life. If you think about it, Mike Crew managed to contribute to the eyepocalypse twice. Everything Jared got up to is lowkey Mike Crew’s fault. He just does not care about other people. Iconic

2. He’s short

Kars

Important! I tried my best to find reliable sources for Aztec/Mexica culture. One of my main sources was Coyolxauhqui, the moon goddess and the beautiful stone relief that presents her. Using her as inspiration for bells in Karss hair and the headdress. I limited my palette thats why there is no green in the drawing, a choice i made fully aware that the feathers of a quetzals bird are emerald green.

I gave Kars straight bangs to incorporate aztec hairstyles, he is holding the stone masc from jojo slightly styalized to resemble the rounded rectangular shapes used in aztec artwork. I also colored the mask, as a lot of sculptures and reliefs from anchient times were painted, and it would give the masc an even more striking look.

Behind Kars is a record (very choppily drawn sorry) which is based of real drawings but is improvised by me to present the stone masc, young Kars, the sun and Quetzalcoatl as a serpent.

You're welcome to scrutinise my work if you want, im open for constructive criticizm espechially around the cultural aspect.

I drew these two losers a couple weeks ago and forgot to post it.

[candlestickmick]

ai generated images make me increasingly sad and tired the more i see them in more and more casual contexts. i dont know how to explain, but it just fills the world with a bunch of nothing. no matter how visually stunning the pictures might be, there's nothing behind it for me. no dedication, no emotions, no feelings, no hard work or creativity, nothing i can truly think about, admire or enjoy. i dont think thats how art is supposed to be

This five seconds clip is one of the funniest things in all of the DC universe.

Things I love about this:

1. The fastest man alive didn't think there was a man crime fighting in a bat suit.

2. Barry thought rumors of a man in a bat suit were too good to be true to the point where the news that he exists makes him physically react.

3. Green Lantern is over it all after the first sentence.

4. Hal is so apathetic.

5. Bruce does not even attempt to look over when hearing Barry. He just tinkers more.

6. Wait wha-

And of course:

Eh, he's over there. 😒

Surprised to see negative comments on social media poking fun at how they are "big" around the waist as compared to the animated.

For a 60 and 40 year old, I'd say they look really great at their age!

I remember people poking fun at Grant Gustin for being too skinny to be The Flash too, but look at how he stole the show as Barry Allen!

Temuera Morrison who played Boba Fett was made fun for being "fat" too but he took it gracefully by showing his workout video.

It's an example that body shaming happens to men too. Because everyone is so used to seeing fit and muscular male superheroes.

Why can't people just appreciate everyone as they are? They've done superb jobs portraying these characters for many years.
