Hello my beautiful little freg, I hope you're drinking water and eating on the regular and have been getting good sleep! ^^ (hope that you'll be able to see this with all the crap going on with my Tumblr rn)

I'm here to request a CanonCharacter X OC (unless you'd rather it be a reader ^^) fluff oneshot! Of course you don't have to take the request if you don't like! I do know this will be a mostly Lemon request page.

So, It would be a ROTTMNT Donnie x OC(future), the OC being Tamsin! :D

Now for the basic plot: Tamsin has had FIVE kids, and of course with that she's grown a Lil bit chubby, which causes her to be a little self conscious, especially with how she sees April and Cassandra look much better compared to her.

And maybe one day, Donnie walks in on her looking at herself in the mirror, kinda sadly staring at her stretch marks and stuff and he does his best to make her feel better about herself?

And it just gets all fluffy stuff, then they start getting all romantic and kissy-but before it gets too out of hand they hear little giggles and see their kids watching from behind a corner (cause their sneaky lil shi-). And it just ends up as a fluffy cuddle pile with their kids? I hope it isn't too much and I'm SO SORRY IF IT IS 😅 sometimes I get carried away in this stuff- Anyway, I hope you have a good day wherever you are! 💜

-request for yours truly, Hypocriticaltypwriter.

yesssss!!!!! Tamsin my beloved! also yes, i'm able to see your requests with the shadow ban!! i also love this ask bc i headcanon donnie as like the thicker people<33 this also is my first time writing said family but hey! that comes with the ask! ——————✧◦♡◦✧—————— type: ✮request✮ genre: ✮hurt/comfort(?) & fluffy✮ fandom: ✮ROTTMNT Future AU!✮ character(s): ✮Donatello Hamato, Tamsin, Jerimiah, David, Zuccone, Niccolo & Magdeline✮ crossovers?: ✮nope!✮ tags: @hypocriticaltypwriter ——————✧◦♡◦✧——————

It had been about two months since Magdeline was born; Donnie's and Tamsin's youngest child, and Tam had began getting back into the rhyme of things. Being more active and caring for her children took a lot of work, witch made Tam all more aware of her body; mainly her appearance.

She had been trying to work out and try new diets, but nothing seemed to work. That piece of tummy was almost as stubborn as Don.

So, after a small, early-morning work out routine and a jog around the house, she stopped in front of the full-length mirror in her bedroom. Tam was wearing her exercise outfit which consisted of a sports bra and a pair of sweatpants.

Tam slowly came to a halt as she examined herself closer in the mirror, focusing on the patch of stomach. She stood in front of the mirror, sweaty and disheveled, and pondered why she couldn't get rid of that spot, that stupid spot.

Tamsin grabbed at it, squishing it; her expression soured at the texture. The dark, self-douting talk started to seep in. One by one, they slowly started to weigh her down.

"Why am I like this?" Tamsin asked herself, her eyebrows furring and her big, green eyes becoming watery.

"Like what?" a strong voice came from behind her. It was Donatello, her husband. He watched her the entire time she stood in front of the mirror and questioned her appearance.

"You look great to me," He continued, leaning on the door frame and sipping his coffee.

Tamsin looked back at him, tears being blinked away, "What do you mean 'great'? Aren't you going to say I look stunning?" She asked with a hint of teasing anger.

"I mean," He deafened, coming closer to her and wrapping his arms around her waist, "Yea, because you'd look a lot better with no clothes on." He churred, leaning in closer for a passionate kiss.

Donnie started to lean his weight onto the woman, in a heated battle, before a little voice interrupted them.

"Mom? Dad?" Jerimiah asked quietly as he rubbed his eyes.

Tam pulled away to comfort Jerimiah, much to Don's disgruntled following.

"What's wrong, honey?" Tamsin asked sweetly.

"I heard a loud noise," the oldest said, "And I gost scared. Then David woke up, and then Zuccone and Niccolo woke up too."

"Chain reaction," Donnie snorted at his own joke, sipping more of his coffee as his wife gave him the "It's Not Funny To Bully Children" look she had had to give Leon more times then he'd like to admit.

"What?" Donnie asked defensively, "It was a good joke.." He mumbled.

"Can we stay with you?" Jerimiah asked, already sleepy from the encounter.

"Sure," Tam purred, "You guys can stay with us."

——————✧◦♡◦✧——————

The kids filled in one by one, grabbing pillows and blankets to construct the nest of comfortableness. With Donnie and Tamsin in the middle and their kids in the surrounding space, tangled in their legs and arms.

David laid on Tam's stomach, cuddling closer and becoming more snuggled in. He yawned and softly said, "Mama comfy. Mama best pillow." as he nodded in and out of consciousness.

"I agree," Donnie whispered, "You're a comfy pillow for mutant-hybrid babies now, you can't just give that up." He said tenderly.

Tamsin giggled, knowing that with any form she took, her family would love and support her through it.

"I love you, Tam," Donnie said at last.

"I love you, too, Don."

——————✧◦♡◦✧——————

OH MEEM GEE, that was a roller coaster of emotions. overall, i had a lot of fun writing this one! it was supposted to be longer but im tired and school rlly sucks atm >.<) hope you enjoyed! i really hope to draw more of your ocs in the future!

romcom love- headcanon

masterlist

prompt: romantic comedy style moments during different parties/events.

includes: billie dean howard, cordelia goode, audrey tindall, ally mayfair-richards, wilhemina venable, mildred ratched, tammy, and xandra terrell.

☆ billie dean howard ☆

halloween telethon

• look at me i'm sandra dee, lousy with virginity

• only half of that applies.

• True: Billie Dean is dressed as Sandy from Grease- hot, cigarette hanging from her lips, off the shoulder top, belted leather pants, fly off into the sunset at the end of the movie Sandy to be exact.

• however she most definitely is not a virgin, and the word lousy is not in her vocabulary

• you do have chills.

• they're multiplying.

• she ends her conversation with a producer and makes her way towards you and you are definitely losing control- are your hands shaking? act natural

Y/N: *dramatic gasp* Sandy?!

BILLIE: Danny?! *borderline shy smile* is it everything you imagined? *does a tiny spin*

Y/N: it's electrifying.

• she laughs at the awful awful joke

• at some point during her tour you bonded over your love of grease and your distaste for the sequel (argue with a wall i love michelle pfeiffer but babe i couldn't take the second movie)

• the medium was chosen to host a televised halloween fundraiser

• many other celebrities, including friends of hers, joined for the event (all in costume)

• as part of the crew you don't have to dress up (since you're not on camera) but here you are in your usual all black outfit plus a white and red Rydell High cardigan à la Danny Zuko

BILLIE: look at you *touches your shoulder*

Y/N: fits like a glove

BILLIE: good, i'm glad. *looks you up and down*

PRODUCER: on in 5, Billie!

BILLIE: alrighty! *turns back to you* you are formally invited to the after party, by the way.

Y/N: oh? i-is that allowed

BILLIE: *hand drops to hold your forearm* darling, it's my party. i can even escort you there if you'd like.

PRODUCER: we need to put your mic on, Billie.

BILLIE: *keeps her eyes on you* on my way! *hand falls to hold yours* so i'll see you later, doll?

Y/N: yeah of course! an escort sounds nice- a ride, from you. in a car, i mean—

BILLIE: *nods along*

Y/N: —you driving or your driver.

BILLIE: precisely. *squeezes your hand before letting go*

Y/N: i'm gonna stop talking.

BILLIE: we'll save it for later *winks*

☆ cordelia goode ☆

mardi gras

• you're a student at Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies

• spending most of your time exploring and learning and practicing...alongside the supreme's daughter, Cordelia

• who everyone knows you have a mutual crush on, but neither of you talk about it

• or your first kiss...or the other kissing and the *cough* touching *cough*

• sometimes Delia doesn't really know how to talk to you properly, especially in front of others

• instead of real conversation she ends up spewing historical facts, and you let her

• so here you are with your head in her lap talking about spending your first mardi gras together

CORDELIA: have you ever been to the parade?

Y/N: no, sadly, my parents usually keep me home through the holidays. they're worried i'll end up 'flashing the world for a coconut' whatever that means.

CORDELIA: *scrunches her nose* flashing the- oh! Zulu Coconuts

Y/N: gesundheit.

CORDELIA: *squishes your face* no they're one of the throws- the like, party favors

Y/N: is that not dangerous?

CORDELIA: *adorable laugh* i'm sure they make eye contact or something before tossing them. but they're hard to get and some people will do anything to get them, even- you know...flashing. the people throwing the treasures know that, they will sometimes take advantage by asking women to *mimes lifting her shirt and shimmies*

Y/N: *trying not to stare at boobs* so no one actually has to do it?

CORDELIA: nope. those who do can be arrested, public nudity and all that jazz- i mean there are children and families around.

Y/N: so jail and semi-nudes all over the internet. yeah, not worth a coconut.

CORDELIA: the flashing is mostly just in the Bourbon Street area of the French Quarter. its known for strip clubs, so those interested in that sort of thing can see some version of that year-round.

Y/N: but not for free *wink just to see her smile*

CORDELIA: think about it, though, the spring-breakers get wasted, lose their inhibitions. shame, they don't even experience actual Mardi Gras traditions.

Y/N: what's French Quarter like otherwise?

CORDELIA: throughout the year? beautiful. balconies in the French Quarter are a wonderful place to enjoy the music, architecture, history, the atmosphere, and culture of the city. a lot of Bourbon Street balconies are rented out during Mardi Gras.

Y/N: is a lot of the parade there?

CORDELIA: no actually *laughs* there's a size restriction on floats in that area!

• she gets excited over the oddest things

CORDELIA: there are some small foot-parades through the French Quarter, but most of it is sleazy men

Y/N: no thank you

CORDELIA: agreed

Y/N: do you know what the masks are for besides fun?

• she can talk about literally anything- read a cereal box or a phone book for all you care

• her lisp just makes you melt

CORDELIA: in the beginning, masks worn during Mardi Gras allowed wearers to escape society and class constraints. carnival goers were free to be whomever they wanted to be, and mingle with literally anyone. on the darker side, women who wore masks had their reputation questioned.

Y/N: we can never win.

CORDELIA: right? but now, everyone wears masks. in fact, float riders are actually required to wear masks by law. it's the largest masked party in North America.

Y/N: we should for sure buy some

CORDELIA: i know where we can get them

Y/N: perfect!

CORDELIA: we should get the ones that cover just our eyes, though

Y/N: why?

CORDELIA: *mumbles* how else will i kiss you?

{ i'm weak in the knees for nervous rambly nerdy baby delia, so this will become a one shot }

☆ audrey tindall ☆

xmas party

• mutual friend's party

• both steal glances when the other isn't looking

• you trying not to fan girl and her trying to play it cool

• bump into each other in the kitchen doorway

• do the thing where you keep stepping to the same side and laugh and say "sorry" a ridiculous amount

AUDREY: i'll go left

Y/N: okay

AUDREY: *facepalm* blimey i went stage left

Y/N: *laughing* i- i like your antlers

AUDREY: my? *touches her head* right, thank you *looks up when her hand hits something else*

• mistletoe!!!

• both blushing with your backs against either side of the doorway

Y/N: is that-?

AUDREY: yes...i'm guessing that doesn't grow there naturally

Y/N: right

AUDREY: i'd hate to break a sacred holiday tradition

Y/N: don't want coal in your stalking?

AUDREY: *grinning* i have been naughty year round

Y/N: you have a chance to be nice now, though

AUDREY: *steps closer* i didn't catch your name

Y/N: i didn't give it

AUDREY: *grin* okay, stranger. *head tilt* brace yourself.

• hot cocoa flavored kiss~

• wiping and reapplying her lipstick afterwards

• chatting, blushing, giggling, and innocent touches the rest of the evening

{ turning this into a one shot or else i'll burst into flames }

☆ ally mayfair-richards ☆

school dance

(cult never happened, she's not a senator just a restaurant owner, Oz is 13 and she had him on her own, let's pretend parents can chaperone)

• as a member of the PTA, Ally is signed up to chaperone the middle school dance

• as one of the new teachers, you are too

• you bump into each other at the snack table, smiling shyly at each other before she introduces herself

• she assumes you're a parent, you assume she's a teacher and it makes for a confusing conversation

ALLY: i'm sorry i never asked which one is yours

Y/N: oh *looks at table* i didn't bring one

ALLY: you didn't?

Y/N: should i have? i didn't realize it was a requirement, i missed that memo

ALLY: *throughly amused and confused*

Y/N: what did you bring?

ALLY: *slowly understanding* the blonde, glasses, bow tie *points to dance floor*

Y/N: *incredibly confused*

ALLY: *smiling* i don't work here and i'm guessing you do?

Y/N: yes? *realizes* oohhh

ALLY: yep. i was wondering what meeting you were talking about before *laughs*

Y/N: oh my gosh- i just thought maybe you were on the second floor, i never go up there

ALLY: let me properly introduce myself. my name is Ally, i do not work here but i do own a restaurant in town, and i have a son named Oz. now you.

Y/N: my name is Y/n, I do work here, and your son is in one of my classes

ALLY: wait- what's your last name?

Y/N: L/n

ALLY: *chuckles* i don't know how to put this but i think my son has a crush on you

Y/N: really?!

ALLY: he talks about you all the time. all of the times.

Y/N: oh my gosh, i remember those days.

ALLY: right. I had a thing for my chorus teacher. can't sing for my life but i took her class every year.

Y/N: *smile* i had an english teacher who had to be almost 6ft tall, amazing blonde hair, blue eyes, always wore grey or navy, and a nose piercing! i was smitten, probably obvious about it, too.

ALLY: you think he knew?

Y/N: she, Mrs.Robins.

ALLY: *laughs* wait Robins like Mrs.Robinson?!

Y/N: only in my dreams

ALLY: *holds intense eye contact* is their a Mrs.L/n, now?

Y/n: nope...is it Mrs.Mayfair-Richards?

ALLY: nope *laughs* i'm a child of divorce

• both sip from your caprisuns

• the sexual tension bro

ALLY: well then, that's cleared up

Y/N: luckily

☆ wilhemina venable ☆

office party

• Jeff and Mutt don't need a reason to party but why not celebrate a new product/project

• though their mysterious assistant loathes these social events, she plans them and therefore must see that everything goes according to her plans

• since you work on a completely different floor, you've never actually interacted with the infamous Miss Venable

• all your knowledge of her is by word of mouth and holy fuck why did no one mention how stunning she is

• she yelled at this person and her and him and fired what's-her-face and she loves purple

• but not a word about how tall and elegant and the hair and the glasses and the heels and the lipstick

• so you can imagine her surprise when you take the empty seat at her table, nervous for reasons she doesn't comprehend

• she's certainly never seen you before, she'd remember, but when you say your name she recalls reviewing your work when it landed on her desk and she remembers being almost impressed

• the conversation isn't flowing

• it's more drops of sarcasm and remarks about your coworkers lack of intelligence and decorum

• is she harsh? maybe a little. is she wrong? not at all!

• and then you say something that makes her smile- almost laugh, a little lift at the corners of her mouth and an amused puff of air through her upturned nose

• maybe she's a little...sharp...

• maybe...you're really into that

☆ mildred ratched ☆

valentines dance at women's bar

• you saw the redhead when Gwendolyn first brought her to your bar, but missed the chance to speak when she stormed out

• knowing Gwen for years (as a regular customer) you ask what happened and if you can help

• she explains what the beautiful stranger is going through, respecting her privacy while giving enough for plausible advice

• she takes your suggestion and brings the redhead back for the sweetheart's dance

• Mildred is a little thrown by your tousled hair, fitted trousers, waistcoat, and loosely buttoned shirt

• she just can't stop staring

• Gwen, what a wingwoman, makes an excuse to go talk to someone she's had her eyes on

Y/N: what can I get you, Red?

MILDRED: it's Mildred, water is fine.

Y/N: *grinning* on the rocks?

MILDRED: *tight smile* please.

Y/N: coming right up

MILDRED: Gwendolyn says you own the place?

Y/N: co-own with an aunt Lana, it's my pride and joy.

MILDRED: *looks around* is it difficult hiding...this place

Y/N: trouble is expected...but it's freeing nonetheless

MILDRED: *accepts her water with a nod*

• you feel her eyes as you tend to other customers

• flipping bottles and mixing drinks with flare

• you let Mildred sit and observe in peace until she needs a refill

MILDRED: you enjoy making a spectacle of yourself?

Y/N: is that your way of saying you can't look away?

MILDRED: *sips drink*

• once the slow dancing starts, you sit with Mildred and ask her to tell you about herself

• when she's slow to share, you do the taking

• she nods meekly when you ask her to dance

• turns red when you say "i don't bite"

• sighs (almost happily) when you hold her a little closer

• and fights a smile when you spin her around

• may or may not catch her glancing down your shirt

Y/N: see something you like?

MILDRED: *her eyes meet yours* pardon?

Y/N: my clothes, what else?

MILDRED: i- do you dress like this all the time?

Y/N: when i can, yeah. can't exactly run this place in a skirt and heels. *look her up and down* i certainly don't look like you when i do

MILDRED: i suppose

Y/N: *laugh* ouch—

MILDRED: no i mean to work—

Y/N: i know i know, i'm only teasing- is that a smile, Mildred?

• she's almost surprised at how relaxed she's become, when did that happen?

MILDRED: i suppose

Y/N: so are you enjoying your first sweetheart's dance?

MILDRED: *almost whispering* i suppose

{ i turned this into a one shot because i love soft millie! }

☆ tammy ☆

met gala

(obviously she's not married!!)

• you show her around the office when she's hired as one of the Met Ball coordinators (after the other one had a family emergency or something?)

• you work well together

• dividing and completing your tasks with ease

• for example she hires some australian nutritionist as well as the kitchen staff

• friendly conversation and occasional flirting

• you grow closer over the months of planning

• working lunches/dinners and grabbing coffee/tea/snacks for each other

• go out on a few unofficial dates when you have to visit the venue

• ex: walking around the museum together to see the changing exhibits, stopping to eat at restaurants Tammy wants to try

• she doesn't share much about her personal life but oh well, a milf is interested in you homie so no complaints

• you're together when the gala is on lock down as security hunts for the missing necklace

• luckily Tammy finds the missing necklace in a fountain

• she goes back to upstate new york when the event is over

• lot of texting and phone calls

• she comes to the city when she can to see you, sometimes you take the train to her place

☆ xandra terrell ☆

cinco de mayo

• she works at a club near your university

• you've spent an embarrassing amount of time silently yearning for the hot bartender

• we can thank tequila for pushing you two together

• cinco de mayo fell on a saturday night so the place was packed

• who knows how it was arranged but one minute you're having a churro and the next you're being nudged towards Xandra for a body shot

XANDRA: i'm on the clock, babe, so you'll have to take it

Y/N: *nod like a whore*

• like a pro she puts the filled shot glass in her cleavage, a line of salt along her collarbone, and a lime wedge between her teeth

• you can feel her hum as your tongue swipes the salt

• you can smell her perfume or lotion or whatever the fuck smells so damn good when your nose grazes her chest and you manage to slip the glass from between her tits

• and you can taste her lipgloss when you suck the lime, up until it falls to the floor and she kisses you fully

{ also turning this into a one shot because I AM GAY }

1, 8, 17, and 23 for riya, jorina, and maeve!

muah muah ty // vanilla sunday meme

1.) Is your muse a romantic? Do they dream of love and marriage?

RIYA — mmmm. she enjoys romance (the flowers, the intimate activities, the candles and sweets and gifts etc etc) but i don't think she's been big on fantasies of marriage or happy ever afters, been too busy chasing pleasures day-to-day with whoever holds her fancy to think hard on a settled future. even through her relationship with victor, the love and romance was there for sure but she never personally had thoughts on marriage. maybe could have gotten there 🤷‍♀️ we'll never know

JORINA — unfortunately she got bit by the love bug when aleksi came around and all of those romantic ideas slowly came back to her, thoughts that she'd abandoned after the blight because her family was so miserable after the loss of her mother. she used to hope she'd one day share a love like her parents', but then she had to watch her father fall apart after the loss of his wife and she went nope! no thank you!! i'm not gonna let myself wish for anything that could end up like that. and then she Did start just that because she fell for aleksi and on occasion found herself wondering what their future could look like, and the thoughts were annoyingly romantic but tinged with a worry that was hard to shake.

MAEVE — yes she is 😭 yes she does all the time 😭😭 stories were what she used to cope with her situations living with her parents and later carden, and a vast majority of them were of the romance genre. she more than once worked herself into tears dreaming of what it'd be like to experience a true Romance, to share a love so genuine and comforting that taking vows would have any sincere meaning. struggled to find these dreams for a while when things were utterly dreadful with carden around, but in time they came back and were stronger than ever. sickeningly romantic in all she does, with friends and partners alike she simply wants to spread love however she can.

8.) Is your muse comfortable with, or proud of their body? Are they insecure?

RIYA — so comfortable with her body that she's constantly showing it off lol. the flowy dresses with slits down the skirt, deep cuts or open windows for her chest, if she's frisky and the fit suits then some additional skin showing at her sides. i don't imagine she's ever felt insecure about her body because she's been spoiled with compliments and support all her life. no reason for her to be worried about her build when clearly it's pulling in plenty of lovers and she's looking fantastic in all she wears, which y’know are clearly the most important priorities here. she'd probably still be wearing such an outfit during the party's workings right now if i didn't have the strong feeling warden rasha shut that shit down by day 3 at most when he found the time to find new clothes to toss at her 🙄

JORINA — has always been a Little Bit insecure about her body, i think. not in a hateful way, but in the way that she'd on occasion be reminded how the family's poverty affected her body (cheap clothing and hunger that kept her from properly filling out said clothing) and she'd feel self-conscious about her appearance for a little while after. had a straight up Confused phase while in the crushing hard on manslut aleksi period, because i imagine he was slutting it up with all kinds of folk which meant she'd never have a chance to like. compare herself to a specific type, but still went through some bouts of insecurity by way of inexperience and perceiving herself as unappealing compared to his lovers. all fine in the end because he's the one to help her build confidence in her appearance :')

MAEVE — sadly endures a period of discomfort during her years with carden when she’s led to believe that all she’s good for is her body and pretty face, but goes through a wondrous amount of growth and healing once she’s free of that life. becomes incredibly comfortable with herself, the confidence practically radiating for all to see. a bit of a shock to see the difference between her in the early years of going off on her own compared to down the line when she’s had time to work on herself and also receive a great deal of help from certain lovers.

17.) Does your muse leave hickies? Do they ask for them?

RIYA — the amount varies on the kind of nasty she was getting up to, but she absolutely leaves them and takes great joy out of leaving one or two in places that can’t easily be covered up. causes problems on purpose n all that. doesn’t ask for but clearly wants and enjoys receiving them in return.

JORINA — don’t see her leaving very many and she’d rather implode than ask for them, but wouldn’t terribly mind receiving them (so long as they’re in places she can cover with clothes).

MAEVE — yes and yes :) calls them love bites and leaves them everywhere on her partner(s) when things get heavy, gets excited knowing she’s left her mark on them. an unfortunate act to enjoy when her partners are witchers that heal in minutes :// likes receiving them most on her lower body and chest but won’t complain if left elsewhere.

23.) Is your muse the type to discuss their sex life or sexual prowess with others?

RIYA — nothing too egregious and she’ll accept wishes from a lover for her to keep quiet on their particular activities, but she’s not opposed herself to speaking openly on the topics. it's just sex shrug

JORINA — fuck no 💚

MAEVE — yes, but it’s usually for potential or already established partners. loves to add in some teases to her flirting about such things when she's after sex, maybe even just bluntly describe certain acts if she believes it'll really get them going.

#ch: valeriya de clairmont #ch: scout jorina #ch: maeve sommers #almost redacted victor's name for the joke but it's fine we all know

This is the anon who sent the ask! Sorry Tumblr’s being dumb to you, if you want I can send another? BTW, don’t worry about long replies, personally I’d love to hear what you have to say!

first, literally thank you so much-- like. absolutely means the world that someone I willing to listen to my rambling XD

second,, it will definitely be long... now I actually saved it in a word document to avoid the issue, (also reinstalled the app)

sooooo, I proudly present: relationship and character connections of "An Unfortunate Case" (color coded cause I like color codes)

quick disclaimer, I don't understand how relationships work. at all. help me.

No. 1.: Henry Jekyll

Jekyll and Hyde. our title characters. the reasons behind Hyde's creation are a bit different from the book, but still pretty close. Henry is a lower-level doctor at St Jude's hospital, he doesn't earn much, he cannot work on things he's passionate about and he has fallen out with most people in his life. he's miserable and he blames himself for it. but also,,, not himself. cause it cannot be his fault. he suspects there's a darker him inside his head that's causing all his problems. and that's how Hyde is created, from the pure self-hatred and want of freedom of Jekyll. he looks at Edward and sees himself, that part of him that he rejects, despises and hates, now in its own identity, free to run around and be an outlet for all his piled up troubles. he hates him but he enjoys the feeling of carelessness "being Hyde" comes with. and even if he lets up after a while, this story cannot have a happy end for them.

he has 2 good friends, Lanyon and Utterson, the latter he has had a heavy crush on since university. but sadly he never knew how to make a move. he will never be able to let go of this feeling.

Henry confides in Lanyon the most, he's always been there for him since they met and it's not likely he's going anywhere. Jekyll heavily relies on Lanyon, even if he has a hard time admitting it.

he later on gets married to Lisa Carew through an arranged marriage (believe it or not, Hyde was the one who got him her hand) and they quickly realize how much they go well together! however, he can never truly love her as long as he has his love for Utterson in his heart. but he considers Lisa his closest friend by the end of the day, both sharing passion in arts and music.

his relationship with Lucy Harris is completely platonical on his side. he admires her work as an actress and supports it with all his heart. she might have something going for him, but he's too in his own head to notice that,,

Stride has been trying to tear Jekyll's reputation down for ages, claiming to be worried for and because of his mental health. personally Henry doesn't believe this. But when Stride sees Jekyll getting the hand of the girl he loved.. now that's just outrageous isn't it.

No. 2.: Edward Hyde

he flirts with every living human being. he has charms and he knows it, even if his mere presence causes people to be on edge.

the pressure he gets from Jekyll is something he is very much not fond of. as Jekyll's supposed darker self, he was created with a lack of self-control, so he's able to let out all the emotions and urges that built up in the good doctor overtime. yet he keeps getting repressed into Henry's subconscious. is he just some glorified prop to him? someone who is not their own person, but a way to make himself feel less like a shitty human being? Hyde often ponders on these questions and yet he finds it hard to separate himself from his.. "better" half.

Utterson despises him and is actively scared for the safety of Henry once he learns about their supposed connection to eachother...

the first person he meets after being set free is Lucy. she immediately rejects any sort of romantic moves from him and she definitely wins his respect. will that stop him from flirting with her?... nope

Stride and Hyde actually interact a lot more as the grumpy lawyer is pretty much Hyde but grew up with a normal life. and Edward hates him, which feeling is pretty much mutual. tho this might also be Jekyll's fault

out of all the people,,, he ends up with Lanyon. maybe because Robert can actually handle his dramatic personality, maybe cause he's also lonely. but the two begin dating very quickly and let me tell you, Hyde would do anything to keep his boyfriend.

Lisa knows Hyde but doesn't actually know his story. and Hyde isn't too interested in her either, so that ends there, mostly.

No. 3.: Robert Lanyon

our other flirtatious little pansexual gentleman

best friend of Henry since university, always backed him in his pursuit of their local lawyer, Utterson. now Jekyll relies more on his friend than ever and Robert clearly sees this. he'd do anything to help Henry, if only he'd tell him what's wrong ... they could always fix everything

surprisingly, Stride and Lanyon get along rather nicely when away from others. but I mean, who doesn't like Robert, he's a sweetheart.

Hyde. oh boy. poor 1.63-meter-tall Lanyon meets 2 meters tall Hyde. no question, even a master of pick-up lines like Robert is speechless at the antics of Edward. and Hyde likes his attention on him,, so he gets himself a hot goth bf. he cannot be happier and is truly at peace with him, despite his sort of disturbing, yet familiar aura.

Utterson and Lanyon are also good friends, maybe even like father and son. they often hang out, walk around, drinking coffee together, discuss issues in society and share their favorite books.

No. 4.: John Utterson

the oblivious asexual friend who doesn't pick up on Jekyll falling heads over for him.

he supports both his friends in their careers and like a dad, is proud of them both. he knows Jekyll has hardships and tries to be there for him whenever possible, often taking care of the doctor when he forgets to do it himself. he's worried sick for Henry.

this worry only amplifies when he meets Hyde, this supposed colleague of Jekyll. he immediately feels that something is off about the man, and avoids making contact whenever it is possible.

Stride has been his rival since they first met in a trial. he hates the man's arrogance, heated behavior and maybe envies his charisma. but you didn't hear that from me-

No. 5.: Lisa (Emma) Carew

Lisa is a pure artistic spirit who finds her first true supporter in the person of one Dr Jekyll. after their arranged marriage, they both confess to eachother that they have truly no feelings in a romantic way.. but they quickly find their common ground in their love for art.

Lisa loves to visit the theater Lucy runs, she loves the songs, the well choreographed performances, the wonderful music, the beautiful actress...

she met Hyde on a few occasions, every time had this eery feeling afterwards she couldn't place anywhere.. why did he look so familiar..

Stride and Lisa had a fling of romance back when she was around 20. The well dressed, smooth-talking lawyer and his musical interest fascinated the girl for a long time and she was set up to marry him.

No. 6.: Lucille /Lucy/ Harris

after meeting Hyde she sees the potential in him and invites him to try out acting. she doesn't care too much for his silly attempts at flirting with her as long as he keeps it line. turns out, her suspicions were correct, Edward is a great actor and goes on to become well known in higher society under Lucy's hand.

the first time he met Dr Jekyll, she couldn't decide what to think of him. she thought she knew someone like him before.. she felt drawn to him, but he was blinded by his own love for someone, leaving her alone to figure out her feelings.

this one girl in the audience she kept catching the gaze of. one time after performance she invited her for a cup of tea. they had a great time, maybe something was starting to build between them.

Lucy likes the company of highly intelligent or sophisticated people, so Simon Stride and her meet regularly, for a tea, a bit of chit-chat or whatever they feel like discussing. Stride often provides her with legal advice.

No. 7.: Simon Stride

Henry Jekyll, that bastard. why does that man still have a job? can't people see how dangerously unstable he is?? Stride tried to explain them oh so many times, but no one seems to listen. maybe they'll listen once it's too late..

Lisa has been the love of his life since he met her, back when she was 19. it's been so many years and he never stopped loving her. he'd spend hours talking with her about music, his personal passion. she seemed to be enjoying the topic.

no man in the world disgusts him more than Edward Hyde with slimy personality, uneasy aura, his beautiful long black hair, his imposing and strong frame, the way he could make anyone flustered,,,. no, he was definitely not jealous of him, why would you even think that?!

he had a strong dislike of his rival, Utterson, but also he didn't really see why was that the case. one day they just declared eachother as archenemies and it stayed like that since.

wow you made it to the end :'3 I'm truly honored, thank you again for the ask,,, it most certainly means the world to me that I can talk about something so dear to my heart as my own creations!!

#jekyll and hyde #the strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde #mr edward hyde #dr henry jekyll #au #an unfortunate case #robert lanyon #john utterson #rambling on about shit is my type of time passing #yes i had this all in my head until now

The Fall

When Leo saw Zoey, he knew it must be destiny. She was dressed in all black, had long, curly black hair, and was armed to the teeth. Leo had seen her sneaking up behind him of course, but the sight of her left him stunned! Which was unfortunate, since she now had a knife to his throat.

“Alright buddy, give me all you’ve got and nobody gets hurt,” she said.

“Okay, okay, easy there. Here, take it.” said Leo, taking out his wallet and giving it to the lady. I wonder if this would be a good time to ask her for her number?

You see, Leo was not only an idiot - he is also a hopeless romantic. No matter how many times he got turned down, he never gave up on love. Sadly, it doesn’t look like Leo will get a chance with Zoey, as he watched her flee into the night. Dejected, Leo hung his head and began the long walk home. Until a moment later, when Zoey came sprinting back, right past Leo and towards the opposite direction.

“Wonder what got into her?” Leo wondered out loud.

He found out a couple seconds later when a large man meandered into sight. He was wearing a hockey mask that was splattered with blood, and the machete in his hand was dripping something onto the floor. It didn’t take a genius to figure out what it was. After the government collapsed, society has descended into chaos, and going out at night was a gamble few took. Of course, Leo knew this. As the man in the mask came closer, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

“Perfect! I was having just the worst night, but luckily you're here now!” he said to the man as he drew a large buffalo knife, previously strapped to his thigh. “The perfect target to take all of my... frustrations.” The man halted in his tracks, now facing a rather large, armed man rather than a fleeing woman. Now it was Leo advancing, tossing the knife from hand to hand.

“N-now hang on a second,” said the man, taking off his mask and slowly backing away, his eyes growing wide with recognition and fear. “Y-you’re Leo! Listen man, I don’t even want to be a part of their gang! They forced me! Just let me go, I won’t even tell the boss I saw you.”

“Nope, thanks for the option though!” said Leo, now less than five feet away. His eyes narrowed as he closed in on his prey. “You hockey-masked losers took everything from me.”

Before the man could even try to run, he tripped over some debris while backing up and went sprawling. Leo pounced and it was over before the man could even cry out, Leo's knife carving through him like a Christmas ham. While cleaning his knife on the dead man, Leo heard loud banging behind him, followed by a string of curses. He turned to see that Zoey had somehow gotten tangled up in a bunch of trash cans. Apparently she had stuck around to watch, which gave Leo some hope. Maybe this girl was finally the one!

“Hey over there!” said Leo. “I’m afraid I never got your name. Mine’s Leo. Need any help?”

“Stay away from me or I’ll kill you!” Zoey shouted in response, flailing her knife with one hand and extracting herself from trash with the other. “I mean it, stay back!”

“Alright, suit yourself,” Leo said with a shrug, sitting down on his victim. “I’ll just stay over here, and you can chill out in that trash.”

And that’s exactly what would have happened, except at that moment a group of men in hockey masks rounded the corner. “Oh shit!” one of them said when they saw the dead man Leo was sitting on. “This fucker killed Jerry!”

Before he was finished speaking, Leo was already up and running. He could handle a couple goons, but eleven of them? Leo's a nutjob, but he's not suicidal. Zoey was soon running beside him as the gang of hockey-masked lunatics chased close behind.

“Hey,” said Leo with a cheesy wink. "Third times the charm? C'mon, give me a chance! I mean don't get me wrong, our first date is going great, but I'd love it so much if you gave me your name. Maybe next time we can get coffee or something?"

“Absolutely not!” huffed Zoey between breathes. “I make it a point never to hang around too long with sociopaths.”

“Jeez, go easy on me! Besides, I seem to remember you being the one who mugged me earlier.”

“Yea, but I’m no murderer. And you even killed one of those masked freaks! Kill one and the rest bring the hammer down on you. How could you live here and not even know that?”

“Oh! Don't worry, I did know that!” said Leo. “I just don’t particularly care. They have taken something very precious from me, and they shall pay.”

“Ooo, very dark and ominous,” said Zoey, rolling her eyes. “Let me guess, now I’ve offended you by rejecting your creepy ass, so now I have to die too. This night just keeps getting better and better.”

“No no no!” said Leo. “I'd never hurt you. Besides, you simply haven't seen the light of reason yet. Just look a little closer, and I'm confident you’d realize that you and I are perfect for each other!”

“I seriously can’t believe this is happening to me right now. A murderer is smooth talking me while we flee for our lives. I don't want your help! I'm not some damsel in distress, waiting for you to sweep me off my feet!” said Zoey.

“Well, in my defense, you are in a little bit of distress right now,” said Leo. “You seem to be running a little short on breath. If you like, we can take a short-cut and make this date a little more... private.”

The eyebrow wag that accompanied that statement made Zoey want to gag, she didn’t trust this man, and this certainly wasn’t a date, but he was right. She'd been sprinting as fast as she could, but they had not lost the gang. Leo on the other hand looked like he could keep running like this for hours. Well, maybe not hours, but certainly longer than Zoey could.

“Alright,” she said between gasps. “Lead away.”

Leo took Zoey’s hand and darted to an alley off to the right. He vaulted up a wall and grabbed on to a balcony overhead. He helped Zoey up, and soon the two were jumping from building to building, with the gang of thugs shouting curses at them from the street below.

“Would you look at that, it’s a full moon!” cried Leo. “This is just perfect. A moonlit date on the rooftops with the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes upon. Is there a man on this Earth luckier than I?”

Zoey just rolled her eyes and focused on running. She’d have to come up with a way to escape from Leo later. Right now, all that mattered was putting as much distance between her and the mob below.

After about ten minutes later, Leo slowed to a stop.

“So, what shall we do now? Is there somewhere I can escort you to before taking my leave?” he asked after Zoey had caught her breathe.

“Leave? What do you mean?” asked Zoey. She had been prepared to fight tooth and nail to get away from this freak, and now he was just going to let her walk away?

“What can I say? It’s been a fun night, but ol’ Leo isn't known for putting out on the first date! But you do have a point. How could I leave without determining when our next date will be? How’s Friday work for you?”

Zoey was taken aback. Dear lord, is this man actually serious? Should I play along or risk him getting angry with me? What’s more dangerous, upsetting him or playing along with his little fantasy?

“You know what, I can tell you're frazzled from the night. You’re not ready to say when yet, maybe a little scared of commitment but that's fine. I’ll just swing by next week and see what you think then. Ciao!”

----------------

And with that, he was gone. Zoey just stood there, not knowing what she should do. She was safe for now, but who knows what Leo would do next?

I can’t just sit here. I have to find out more about him, see how much a threat he is. I can’t have him showing up to my house, he’s too dangerous. Plus, I have no idea where I am right now.

And with that, Zoey began to follow Leo. It wasn’t hard; the man didn’t seem to have a care in the world. He whistled as he went, his blond hair bouncing with the actual pep in his step. How someone like him could exist in this world, Zoey had no idea. Then she remembered how he had killed a man not even an hour ago. How could he do that? Soon, Zoey became aware of a fire in the distance. Leo hadn’t seen it yet, but he seemed to be walking towards it. When it finally came into his line of sight, he stopped skipping and started running. Zoey had a choice: either start running and break her cover or lose him. She ran.

----------------

As Leo neared the burning house, he felt equal parts dread and joy. On one hand, he had really liked this house. On the other hand, only one person could have done this. Only one person knew he lived there, and if he hurried she may even still be there. The thought of seeing Amy again was exhilarating, and Leo ran faster and faster towards his home. He turned the corner and there she was, outlined in crimson flames.

“Ah, Leo, you saw my little smoke signal. It’s so nice to see you!” said Amy.

“Amy! It’s been too long, I-”

“Now stop right there. If you think I came here just to see you you’re even more of a fool than I thought.”

“You didn’t?” said Leo, more than a little hurt.

“No. Did you really think you could kill some of my boys without me knowing it was you? You’re not exactly inconspicuous.”

Amy whistled, and one by one men in hockey masks appeared from the shadows. They had Leo completely surrounded, but the man only had eyes for Amy.

“But Amy,” he said. “I did it for you! They’re holding you back, clouding your judgement. I was helping!”

“How would killing my minions help me, Leo?!?!”

“Well, I just figured if I got all these losers out of the way we could be together again. You know, just like old times.”

"You’re delusional,” said Amy. “Now, before you die, were you alone, or did you have help? Cus if I kill you and more of my men keep dying, there’s gunna be hell to pay.”

Leo look deflated, but he still answered her question. “Naw, it was all me. I even kept track. It was twenty-eight.”

“What?!" Amy exploded, surprise and rage both evident on her face. "I only heard of you getting involved like, a week ago! What do you mean twenty-eight? We only know about seven!!!”

Leo shrugged. “I was a bit more careful at first. I figured our breakup was too recent and you might not want to see me, so I made it look like they died for some other reason. I thought you were ready to move on and let bygones be bygones, but clearly not.”

“Leo, it’s been a year! I left you because you’re psychotic, and if anything you’ve only gotten worse since the government fell. Boys, kill him!”

The men in masks began to close in on Leo, but he did nothing. He just sat, staring at Amy with a look of defeat on his face. Zoey had watched the whole transaction and desperately wanted to leave, but Leo had saved her life. She hated to be in anyone’s debt, especially a dead man. She snuck up behind the man closest to her and stuck her knife into him, right in the small of his back. He cried out and spun around, swinging his machete in a wide arc, but Zoey was already gone. The rest of the group turned to see what was going on, and when Leo saw her his face lit up.

“Oh hey! It’s you! Mystery Beautiful Girl! That's what I've been calling you in my head, since I never caught your name,” said Leo.

“I’ll tell you if we get out of this alive!” she yelled behind her and ran for the hills.

Leo leapt into action, once again whipping out his knife and flinging himself at the man between him and Zoey. Amy screamed in rage as she watched another of her cronies die. He slashed at another two that got too close and quickly chased after Zoey. He was running at full speed when something caught his foot and sent him flying into a nearby empty food stand.

“Sorry!” said Zoey from a small road off to the side. “I didn’t know how else to stop you, you were running so fast . Come on, through here!”

Leo quickly joined her, and moments later the mob went running by. Once he was sure they were gone, Leo turned excitedly towards Zoey.

“So, what is it?”

“What is what?”

“Your name!”

“Oh, right. It’s Zoey. Now don’t go getting the wrong idea here. I only came to help you because you saved my life earlier.”

“Oh right, right. No matter, you’ll come around eventually. So what did you think of my ex? She used to be pretty cool, but now we just don’t see eye to eye for some reason.”

“Yeah that’s some mystery you have there. You two seem good for each other.”

“You really think so? Thanks!” Lea responded dreamily, with a big dopey smile on his face. “But since she’s still being a loser, let’s just focus on us for now. Did you think of when our next date should be?

"What? No!!” said Zoey. “I followed you mostly because you dropped me off in some random roof and I didn’t know what else to do!”

“Oh. Sorry for that, but I did offer to walk you home. Anyway, if Friday is no good, how’s Saturday? Full disclosure, I don’t really have anything to do anymore, so I’m basically always free.”

Zoey took a moment to think of her response. Leo didn’t seem like that bad a guy, other than all the maiming and killing. Sure, she still didn’t want to go on a date with him, but maybe having him as a friend wouldn’t be too bad. In this city, you need all the help you can get.

“Listen Leo,” she said. “I don’t want you to take this the wrong way, but I don’t want to go on a date with you. Ever. Sorry.”

“Oh." said Leo dejectedly. "Well why didn’t you just say so? In that case, see ya!”

“Wait,” said Zoey. “That’s it? It was that easy? I thought you were going to kill me or something if I rejected you.”

“Now why on earth would I do that? That’s a bit of an overreaction if you ask me. No, I’m just going to go sulk in my burned down house and try to get over another heart-break. Or I guess two, if you count Amy as well. So, once again, see ya.”

Wow, that was really sad, Zoey thought to herself as Leo walked away. I actually feel bad for the guy. Well, at least I don’t have to worry about him anymore.

As Zoey turned to leave, she realized that she still didn’t know where the hell she was, or how to get home. Alone at night in an unfamiliar place, with danger around every literal corner, she didn’t really have any choice but to chase after Leo and ask for his help. His silhouette was already far into the distance, so Zoey began to run in order to catch up with him. Before she could more than five feet, she felt an explosion of pain in the back of her head. Her body kept moving while her head stopped, and next thing she knew she was lying on her back looking up at the girl from earlier, who was clutching her hair.

“Why hello there,” said Amy. “You must be Leo’s little friend. I don’t think I’ve seen you around here before.”

“What do you want from me?” said Zoey, her head still aching.

“Oh, nothing really. It’s just that I was all set up to get rid of a major thorn in my side by killing Leo, and then you came by and ruined it all!" Amy screamed into her face. "And to top it off, you caused another of my two beloved minions to die. Leo will probably be moping around for a while, and now that I know which of his safehouses he’s staying at, it’ll be easy to finish off. So, I figured I’d get the hard part out of the way and kill you first.”

Without waiting another moment, Amy plunged a knife into Zoey’s chest. It took Zoey a couple seconds to realize what happened. She looked down at the knife as she slumped to the ground. This wasn't right, was it? This wasn't how it's supposed to end! The villain is supposed to monologue, then the heroine makes a miraculous escape! So why was Zoey's vision getting blurry? What's this sticky stuff on her hands? Amy's laughter trickled in through Zoey's ears as the world faded to black.

Wait. Before losing consciousness, Zoey had a moment of clarity. So I’m dying. Damn. That sucks. But, she said she’s going to kill Leo too. Dammit, I hate to admit it but I kinda liked that sonuvabitch. He’s funny. I can save him. And more importantly, I can still get revenge on this she-devil.

She opened her eyes to see Amy had her back to her. Zoey struggled to her knees coughing blood and feeling absolutely miserable. Amy turned around with a look of confusion on her face.

“Wha-? What the hell? Shouldn’t you be dying or something? I've got things to do.”

Zoey drew one of her knives and threw it, as she had hundreds of times before. Of course, that was always at a wall or something, never a person. And also when she was not dying from a gaping wound in her chest. And yet, the knife flew true, sticking right between Amy’s eyes. Amy briefly looked at the knife in disbelief before crumpling to the ground. Zoey leaned on the wall and eased herself to a sitting position. She looked up at the stars and sighed.

Leo was right, it really is a beautiful night. Full moon and everything. I had a feeling that bastard would be the death of me. With her head clear and her eyes full of stars, Zoey took in her final breath.

----------------

Two weeks later, Leo wanders the city aimlessly. He hadn’t been able to find Zoey again, and there has been no sign of Amy or her gang whatsoever. A man without a purpose, nowadays he just gets into fights with random strangers. That is, until he saw Teresa. She was tall and had short black hair. She was also the middle of a drinking contest with a man double her size. She finished her mug as the man passed out, then asked for another round. My god, she’s perfect, thought Leo. This must be destiny.

What is your take and opinion about the friendship between Inupi and Koko? Do you think it was toxic and Koko was still his best friend due to guilt and to have some tied connection to Akane? And Do you think Inupi took advantage of that and used Koko for his money?

You have such a good understanding of Koko, I am curious to know what your opinion is of their dynamic. Thank you

hello there, darling :) beware of a lot of talking ahead!

INCLUDES KOKO & INUPI BACKSTORY + TENJIKU ARC SPOILERS

mine is an unpopular opinion, i don't think their friendship was toxic at all. although, it does seem like akane was of greater importance for koko than inupi, she'll never surpass the bond that koko and inupi share as friends. inupi will always come first as a friend rather than 'the only thing keeping me connected with my deceased crush', before 'akane's brother' and 'someone that reminds me of her', inupi is a friend. i think many tend to forget that because of the kiss scene and simply erased inupi's identity as koko's friend, assigning him the identity of a kind of replacement for akane.

friendship and love (or any other romantic relationship) are two different bonds that cannot be compared. it's simply not alright to just be asked to balance out a 'more important' one between a best friend and a lover, take koko, inupi, and akane. though, akane was never a lover, koko holds a romantic view towards her, making the bond between the two a romantic one some way or another, so akane will always come before inupi in love, and inupi will always come before akane in friendship. (if that makes sense at all?)

koko wanting to save akane in the incident and not having inupi in mind at all doesn't mean inupi is any less than akane is, we can just say the heart is selfish, if you let it choose, it will always choose love before friendship. adding koko's promise to akane to always protect her and keep her safe, it's pretty reasonable why koko wanted to save her and not inupi. (and given the circumstances; koko was merely a kid, there's just not much he could've done. it's a miracle he managed to take one of them and himself back to safety)

regarding the kiss, it was out of frustration, bottled up feelings, and longing for akane, not inupi – inupi at that moment hold his last tiny bit of connection with her, he was at that moment a link for koko and akane. (again if that makes sense hahah) sadly, i've seen many viewing the kiss as something romantic between koko and inupi, something that kiss didn't hold at all. i see the kiss as koko giving closure to his feelings for akane, him whispering akane's name right after kissing inupi is like a kind of apology, for wanting to let go of her, and for having kissed someone he doesn't like (something she had told him not to do)

↑ it's also the reason why koko got mad when inupi mentioned about him not getting over akane because of his obsession with money during the tenjiku arc. he had already let go of her, but letting go of someone doesn't mean that the feelings are going to magically evaporate, which is why he saw akane again in inupi.

now with everything the both of them spat out at each other during the fight, koko realized he's made inupi live with the guilt of being the one saved when koko truly wanted to save akane and not him, he's made inupi feel guilty for simply living. all that and him not being able to stop himself from seeing akane in inupi has lead to him deciding to take different paths from inupi in order to avoid driving their friendship into toxicity.

and about inupi taking advantage of koko for his money, nope, not at all. if inupi was already his best friend before koko was all that 'money genius' stuff, then the bond continues to be the same after koko and his money glory. i think everything inupi has said and done is enough to prove that koko means so much more to him than just his money :)

koko and inupi's friendship isn't toxic, and i will always stand by that. what will be toxic between them is a romantic relationship, because for one, we all know that koko will be visioning inupi as akane, and two, we don't know if inupi holds any romantic feelings for koko, if he does, he won't be feeling the best because he knows koko loves akane and not him, and if he doesn't, there isn't anything to lead them into a romantic relationship.

hope this mess and rambling made sense at all!

thank you so much for this ask and for giving me an opportunity to talk about them, nonnie :) have a great day/night ♡

The Meeting of a Lifetime AU Part 4: One Year of Togetherness

Pairing: Ethan x f!MC (Arundhati Kulkarni)

Characters: Ethan Ramsey, Arundhati Kulkarni, Ruby Ramsey (OC), Uma Kulkarni (OC), Alan Ramsey

Word Count: 1581

Rating: General

Summary: Ethan and Arundhati meet after 15 years.

Category: Fluff

Tagging: @nooruleman, @sophxwithers, @schnitzelbutterfingers, @jooous, @red-rookie

A/N:

@nooruleman: Noorie, I am extremely thankful for your help, support and motivation. It was only because of you that I decided to write this series. You are a literal sweetheart. Thanks a lot for your help!

I sincerely apologise if this turns out to be messy or not up to your expectations.

On their first anniversary, Ethan and Arundhati decided to take Alan and the girls to the aquarium for a day of fun and relaxation.

'Who wants to go to the aquarium?', Arundhati burst into the living room, clearly excited, forming a plan in her head.

'Me! Me!', the girls shouted.

'Then let's start packing up! We're going to leave once grandpa is here.'

'Is grandpa coming with us?'

'Yeah, he is.'

'Then the trip is going to be even more fun, isn't it, Uma?'

'Yup!'

A few hours later, they were on their way to the aquarium, when Alan realised why they were going on a trip in the middle of the week.

'Happy Anniversary, my children. Forgive me, for I just remembered it right now.'

'That's fine, dad, all that matters is you wishing us', Ethan mentioned.

'Yeah, dad, don't worry much about it.'

'Are we there yet?', the girls asked, eager to reach the aquarium.

'No, kiddos, but we will reach there in half an hour.'

As soon as they reached, the girls started pulling their parents towards the entrance.

'Wait, girls, don't run, the aquarium isn't going anywhere!', Aru said, scared that they would slip and fall.

'Aru, don't worry, I'm right behind them.'

The girls were mesmerised by the vastness of the aquarium.

'This aquarium is huge!'

'I know. It has many floors. How cool is that!'

'Wow', Uma said, looking around, deciding where to go first.

'Where do you want to go first, girls?'

'To see the penguins and the octopus!'

'Okay, let's go.'

'Look, they are giving him toys.'

'He's coming out to get them!'

'Go buddy go, you can do it!', the girls cheered along.

'Good job, bud!'

'What are these spiky ball-shaped things here?'

'They are called sea anemones.'

'They are so small and cute! I love them!'

'I know, they are so colourful and pretty!'

'What are those cup-like things, dad?'

'Oh, they are the suction cups, sugar. Octopuses use them to feel and smell things.'

'That's so cool!'

'This was amazing! Let's go to the penguins next, mom!'

'Okay, chipmunk, let's go. Slow down, girls, there is no need to run. You might hurt yourself!'

'Look how cute they are, Uma!'

'I know, they look so cute flipping their arms around.'

'Look at that penguin hop!'

'It's so funny to look at.'

'There are so many of them... How many do you think they have, Uma?'

'I think around 90-100. What about you?'

'I think around 200..'

'But why are they shouting? They are hurting my ears..'

'Looks like they are talking to their friends!'

'Come on, let's go to that fish tank over there', Ruby pointed out.

'Wait, grandpa, why are the bottles present in that fish tank?', Uma observed.

'Oh......'

'Hello, I'm Stephen. How may I help you today?'

'Could you please answer some questions that the girls might have?'

'Sure! Ask away!'

Why are there bottles here?'

'They aren't your regular bottles, they are treasures!'

'Treasures, that's so fantastic! Are they pirates?'

'Who?'

'The people who run this aquarium..'

'Oh, sadly, that's not the case. But, the people who bring them, called divers, are similar to pirates.'

'How?'

'Sometimes, when searching for fishes, they find various beautiful objects, which they keep as a collection in this tank to make the fish comfortable and to let them feel as if they are still living in the sea.'

'That's amazing! They look so lovely.'

'Where do they come from?'

'They come from Eastport Maine. It is one of the old fishing ports of the USA.'

'Wow!!', marvelled Ruby.

'We only include natural materials and keep away materials like plastic as they can cause harm to the fishes.'

'Ohhhh'

'How do the fishes use these treasures?'

'Some of them use it for laying eggs, while some use it for hiding.'

'That's so awesome.'

'Do you have any more questions, girls?'

'Nope.'

'Okay, thanks Stephen, you helped us a lot.'

'No worries, it's my job.'

'Okay, who wants to have lunch?', Ethan asked as Stephen walked away from them.

'What are we going to have?'

'Let's go check the canteen!'

'Yes please, my stomach is rumbling', commented Aru.

After getting the kids what they wanted, Ethan and Aru were going to sit down, when Alan approached them.

'Don't you want to spend some time alone?'

'What do you mean, dad?'

'Isn't it your anniversary today?'

'Yeah'

'Then go, celebrate it privately.'

'How can we do it now?'

'I meant, after taking the kids home.'

'Don't worry, Dad, I already have something planned.'

'Care to tell me what it is?'

'Sure, but not in front of Aru.'

'So, are you ready to explore more?'

'Yeah!!'

'Do you want to see the seahorses next?'

'Yeah, let's go, grandpa.'

The girls were in awe of the seahorses.

'Look at the different colours of the seahorses! Some of them are pink, the others are purple. It looks so splendid!'

'Look at those baby seahorses, Ruby!'

'They look so cute!'

'Will they eat the small fish here?'

'No, sugar, they might eat the same food, but they won't harm each other.'

'Grandpa, what are they eating?'

'Wait a moment, chipmunk' he peered as close he could get, 'I can't say if it's exactly that, but it looks like shrimp to me.'

'Is this seahorse changing its colour, Ruby?'

'There might be a little bit of change. I wonder why...', the kids discussed amongst themselves.

'Wait, why are those big seahorses dancing?', Ruby asked, pointing to a pair of seahorses near the end of the tank.

'Chipmunk, you can look it up after we go home, okay? I'm sorry that there is no one here to answer your queries.'

'No problem, dad, I know it's not your fault.'

'Mom, I'm tired, can we go home now?'

'Are you sure, chipmunk? Don't you want to explore?'

'No, dad. I just want to go home and sleep.'

'What about you, Ruby?'

'I agree with Uma.'

'Okay, then, let's go home. But first, who wants to get some souvenirs?'

'Me! Me!', the kids shouted.

'Let's go then.'

Ethan waited outside while Alan and the girls went in to get what they wanted.

'So, what did you get, girls?'

'We did not want to get anything, dad.'

'Why may I ask?'

'It was too boring, and the same stuff, everything was printed with their logo. Nothing felt interesting.'

'Oh.. and what about you, dad?'

'I did not find anything that I liked.'

'I hope that's not a problem.'

'Not at all.'

'Good, let's get going, shall we?'

The girls were so tired that they crashed on their beds as soon as they reached.

Ethan and Aru used this golden opportunity to celebrate their anniversary.

'Happy Anniversary, darling.'

'Happy Anniversary, love. You are the best gift I have ever received in my life and every day I thank God that we met again after all.'

'Aru, my love, my life has changed for the best since I met you. You have made me a human capable of emotions simply by existing. I will truly never be able to thank you enough. You have made me the man I am today.'

'Ethan, you always know how to make me feel all warm and fuzzy.'

'I have a surprise for you.'

'What is it?'

'Let's go to the kitchen to find out.'

When they entered the kitchen, Ethan started playing a romantic track.

'Wow.. this looks magnificent, Ethan. The candles smell so lovely. When did you get the time to set all this up?'

'I have my ways.'

'Candlelight dinner with such beautiful roses and amazing tender music... who knew that the great Ethan Ramsey is such a romantic?'

'I think everyone started to know that after we started dating, Aru.'

'What do we have for dinner, sir?'

'Oh, we have chicken alfredo, vegetarian lasagna, chocolate cake and red wine.'

'That's a lot of food. How did you manage?'

'As I said, I have my ways.'

'Okay, Dr Terminator, keep your secrets, but I must say, it looks very tempting.'

'Thanks. You will never stop using that nickname, will you?', he asked.

'Never.'

'Good, I'm quite fond of it.'

'Mmmm... this is indeed heavenly. I've never had anything this good. You are an amazing chef, Ramsey.'

'Why, thank you.'

'The wine goes so well with both the chicken and the lasagna, great choices, Ethan.'

'I know, that's why I chose them.'

'I don't think I will be able to eat anymore, darling. I'm too full.'

'At least have a bit of the cake...'

'Okay, honey. But only a teeny weeny bit.'

'Sure.'

The girls walked in just as Ethan and Aru finished cleaning up.

'Hi girls, how was your sleep?'

'It was good. What's for dinner? I'm really hungry.'

'Chicken Alfredo, Veg Lasagna and Chocolate cake.'

'That sounds really delicious.'

'Thank dad for it, he is the one who made everything.'

'Wow, thanks, dad! When did you get the time to make all of this?'

'That's a secret, kids. But I can tell you tomorrow when mom is not around, okay?'

After cleaning up and tucking the kids into their beds, Aru and Ethan collapsed into their bed.

'Today was an amazing day, darling. Thanks a lot for everything. I love you.'

'Oh honey, thanks for everything, too. You are my everything. I wouldn't be here without you. I love you', he cuddled with her before dozing off to sleep due to exhaustion.

Why do you think Sunrise did that event in with Sesshomaru and Rin's VAs mirroring InuKag? They have already done that CD Drama, do you think they did that to give hope to the shippers? What if after so many hints, if they reveal in the anime that Sessrin isn't canon, aren't the shippers gonna be disapointed? This may be a dumb question and your answers are always smart and well-articulated, but i seriously don't understand their marketing strategy, do you care to explain for me?

Oh, hey there! I appreciate all the love you've been leaving on my blogs lately. I really hope I'm able to give you an answer you're satisfied with. Sorry it took some time to get back to you. I hope this makes up for it. 🙏

I'm not gonna lie, I'm up and down about how I feel about that livestream and what it means for the future of this ship. My brain has been on roller coaster mode since basically the moment the sequel was announced. We're in the home stretch now, and we better get the answers WE WANT the second that sequel comes out. Since it's evidently not going to happen anytime sooner- welp!

Before the livestream aired, I really thought us fans were on the verge of discovering the mom and that it was going to be Rin. We still had hope she wasn't, but at the same time most of us antis were "bracing for impact." lol

Then nothing happened.

We were pretty shocked but obviously relieved. The days before it came out, I was telling others (as well as myself lol) that just because Sesshomaru and Rin's VAs had a livestream together doesn't confirm anything. Besides, why does that have to automatically mean that both pairings need to be romantic? We all know how integral these characters are/were to each other's storylines, so these pairings make the most logical sense, wouldn't you say?

In the previous livestream with the voice actors who play Inuyasha and Kagome, they discuss the new character Moroha and introduce her as Inuyasha AND Kagome's daughter. Now let's compare that to the other livestream with Sesshomaru and Rin's VAs. When they described Towa and Setsuna, they did so as Sesshomaru's daughters NOT Sesshomaru and Rin's daughters. That to me is the most telling piece of evidence.

Like how could they not use that prime opportunity to tell us Rin's the mom when her voice actor was literally sitting right there??! We were all expecting it and they still insisted on giving us nothing! What this tells me is that it's possible this mom is a new character, and it even appears she is quite pivotal to the new series. I keep changing my opinion on that part though to be honest with you, because sometimes I think she won't be important at all in the grand scheme of things. (See what I mean about being up and down? lol) Idk about you, but it seems to me like we haven't even met her character. If it was Rin, why keep it a mystery? It's not like Sessrin's popularity is exactly a secret in this fandom. Why wait until the big reveal if it's "so obvious" in the first place? How does Sunrise benefit from hiding this information?

If it does end up being Rin, it would've been better to just come out and say it. If this ain't just pure fanbait like some of us still hope it is, why hold back? Give 'em what they want already and let us antis be at peace. If they hope to think that I'll change my mind and give this sequel a go just because I've waited this long so might as well, they're sorely mistaken. If anything, I'm going to be pissed they kept us in the dark this long when they could've just saved us all the trouble. I imagine that goes for a lot of us, shippers and antis alike. Whatever way you look at it, I won't be invested in this sequel if Sessrin goes canon- period. I cannot and will not be on board with a series that promotes such a harmful and insulting dynamic.

Which brings us to Sunrise's marketing strategy. Well, I definitely think they have been catering to the fans of this ship for quite some time now. Because, ya know, money. Whether that's because they plan to make this ship canon or not remains to be seen. "Show meee the moneeeeyyyy!" *yells in Jerry Maguire*

There was first the drama cd and more recently that calendar which included art of adult!Rin with Sesshomaru, but neither of those are canon first off. Also, does anyone know if it was actually confirmed to be pro-Sessrin fan art? I mean, I know it doesn't look very good when the artist who made it is a Sessrin shipper and certain fans are fawning over their OTP, but that doesn't necessarily mean the calender automatically is either last I checked. I wonder why it can't simply be Rin as an adult visiting with Sesshomaru. I believe in one picture she's seen giving him a flower, much like little Rin would've done, or just as any child does for a loved one. So if Rin is still bringing him flowers as an adult, I would assume that means their relationship dynamic hasn't changed at all. That's what's supposed to happen, too! If an adult's relationship was established with another person while they were just a child, then that adult will always view them as a child no matter what and vice versa. Even when those children become grown-ups, that won't change. That's just how things are, or how they're supposed to be rather. In other words, a normal healthy adult-child bond does not resemble one like Sessrin.

Both Sessrin fans and antis agree there haven't been any romantic implications between Sesshomaru and Rin in the original series. That's why I can't understand for the life of me why we're even having this discussion. Alas, here we are. This is what happens when society has conditioned us to believe that the only proper (aka "best") way an adult male and a young female's closeness can evolve is with romance. So maybe it's not obvious at first (because that would be illegal), but we should EXPECT their relationship to shift in that direction. Why, you ask? Well, simply because sexualizing young girls is the norm so why not, right? No clues or foreshadowing required! Because like I just said, that would be illegal. Fiction has loopholes for this kinda stuff, so problem solved?

Nope! Aging her up counts too, folks! When you look at a girl character and the first thing you think is, "I can't wait till she grows up so she can f*ck" then, yeah, you're a part of the problem. You may not realize it, but you are. That's not to say you're a bad person or that it's even your fault, just saying that there are times in all of our lives where we start to question some of our beliefs. If you not only support but desire the idea of a romance eventually forming between a grown man- yes, 19 is an adult- and a young girl, then you should probably ask yourself why that may be and re-evaluate. Please stop using cultural differences and history that dates back almost a thousand years to justify this so-called tradition.

"You all shouldn't think too deeply about this, it's just fiction! Ugh, you're ruining the fun! Antis should all just shut up! Only we can have problems, but when you do it's just complaining!"

Right....

And by the way, most of us are not even complaining. We're being critical of the content we're watching. Criticism isn't always pretty unfortunately.

If Sunrise and Rumiko do decide to go through with this, then I will disappointed, sure, but not surprised. Romanticizing these sexualized images of young or pre-pubescent girls has been happening for far too long, after all. We've become desensitized to it sadly enough, especially when the media continues to glorify it. I wish we'd realize how many young girls- or minors in general- we're putting in danger by sending messages such as this.

To you young teenage girls and even boys reading this, you may not fully understand right now, but it's never okay for anyone to tell you that your body being sexualized is a natural and beautiful thing. It's going through through a lot changes at your age, yes, but they should never use your curiosity to satisfy their sexual needs. Don't allow some of these stories to be an example of what is acceptable to occur in your own life if you were ever to encounter a similar situation, especially if fiction is all that you have to compare it to. It is not in any way, shape, or form okay for an adult to say or do sexual/romantic things to you. Even a conversation that may seem harmless at first could have dire consequences. No, not even if you trust them and they're one of your favorite people in this world are these things ever appropriate. What they're asking from you or showing you is dangerous, and even if it doesn't seem like it they are very likely taking advantage of you. If you're ever unsure about something, don't hesitate to come to me. Or maybe you have a loved one that you can go to, that works too. 😊

Idk if I even gave you a definite answer, but perhaps it's because I'm still figuring it out myself. If I ever do, ha! I hope by allowing you to get inside my head for a little bit you got a better idea. Or maybe not, and I just made it more confusing for you. Oops! lol Feel free to hit me up again, dear, and have a nice day/night!! 👋

Woop-de-doo, it's Lord Scarlet stuff part 2

This was a post I planned on making WAY sooner, but I accidentally lost the original draft so I didn't even bother to try doing it gain until recently. And just now something happened that changed everything; and I mean what both DID and DIDN'T automatically give me the right to post this. I almost deleted my first post at that, and here's why:

In the first post, I mentioned that when I initially found out Vic was lying to me, I was quiet about it and just stopped talking to her out of fear, and then when I asked for help on what to do I was told to leave without a word. I don't think that was entirely the right thing to do in the long run, because it may have been the easiest way out but I'm better off with proper closure.

And the thoughts she left me scarred with never left my head. Time and time again, I'd find myself crying myself to sleep again at the thought of Brock forced to hide romantic feelings for Master Frown and not know who he was anymore while Frown was left unaware and in love with someone else, even if it wasn't Lord Scarlet.

And the pain sometimes came with a want to confront Vic one last time and open up to her about how I wasn't blind anymore, and how much she really hurt me. But I, again, wass scared she wouldn't care and would cut me off.

So when the pain got worse, I did what any coward would do: tell everyone else about my pain.

Now I DID tell friends of mine other than the Unikitty Amino staff about what happened, and they were all sympathetic and understanding about it. But then I told almost everyone, and then made my vent post on here (as well as Wattpad). As much as I wouldn't want to call them call out posts, they might as well have been. I didn't want people to harass Vic and make her mad...but at the same time I kinda did. I was too scared to face her that I was hoping that someone would do it for me. I even tagged accounts of Vic's. Not cool of me at all.

Now the Tumblr and Wattpad posts got me pretty much more of the same: sympathy, and acceptance that I had moved on. No one came after Vic but we could still agree that none of her actions were justified (I even got @careeningle's attention...sorry about the aneurysm)

Now comes the next important thing that happened, because I mentioned @friffinx kinda being responsible for me getting back to the Lord Scarlet Amino to write the message that I did. In it, I said that after I sent the message I did I would leave the Amino again & for good.

Well...I lied. I still checked in every day for the same reason I started venting: I kinda wanted Vic to see my message. Even if she'd ban me, I wanted to see if she'd ever notice my message. And that would've been the end of it if it wasn't for Brook.

I briefly mentioned Brook in the last post. She was another OC of Vic's, and was exactly to Brock what Lord Scarlet was to Master Frown; a carbon copy love interest. Except Lord Scarlet was far more developed and drawn & written about more. Brook didn't even really have a distinct personality, she was a girl Brock and that was it. But with reptilian overlord eyes. (To be fair, Vic drew Brock like that sometimes too)

(I didn't include Vic's art unless it was in chat bgs or whatever in the last post, but for the sake of referencing/proving a point, this is what Brook looks like)

No one really paid attention to her for the longest time. She was there in the fanfics because according to Vic, "Scarlet needed a friend." And like I said in the first post, Brook wasn't said to be canon so I never found a reason to really care for her. Plus I can only recall someone giving Vic fanart with her, and it was with Scarlet (@plastic-papercuts made it, go follow her she's gr8).

But then one day, for some reason, something in me clicked. I actually thought of a story idea for her. Somehow this bland cutout of a character had potential in my eyes, and I weirdly started liking her because of it. She suddenly felt...more real. I got pretty invested in my idea and newfound interpretation of Brook, and describing it would make this post way longer than it is so if anyone asks about it, I'll probably make a whole other post about it.

Anyway, I came up with a little plan: draw out this idea in the form of a comic and post it to the Lord Scarlet Amino. And see if Vic gets suspicious and checks out my profile and then maybe bans me. It felt a bit better than total silence and she'd probably see that someone gave a crap about Brook after all.

So I started a new chat called "It's Brook" to share my progress with the other members of the Amino, which there weren't too many of but we had fun in it. It was basically me, @friffinx , @soapycocacola, @plastic-papercuts, and a few others who aren't on Tumblr (or at least don't think are) chatting about how awful Vic was and calling out her lazy art tactics like tracing and using assets/clips right from the show. And of course me sharing the comic progress I was making. Again, this doesn't make anything we did right but it felt good getting everything off our chests. We were like a secret rebellion against an absentee dictator. One time Vic came online as we were chatting and even viewed my profile, but nothing happened. And it stayed that way until I opened Amino up one morning. For those of you who don't have it, the menu shows all the communities you're in when you open the app, and all of mine were there except for the Lord Scarlet Amino. I assumed I must've been banned overnight. But I wasn't banned from Vic's other Amino so I commented on her wall on that one. For Vic's sake, I won't show how the conversation went (and I'll explain why at the end) but here's how it went:

Me: Did you ban me from the LS Amino?

Her: There was drama in one of the chat rooms and I'm not having it. I didn't want to do it and it's not a big deal It's just an amino and you're still on this one AM I RIGHT?

Me: Yes, but I assume you read my updated bio. As I hoped you would.

Her: Nope.

Me: Oh. But you know what? Ban me from here too for all I care, I feel like you deserve to know why I left and came back: *insert me finally telling her how I know she lied, that she hurt me, and what I did was wrong here*

Her: Lol ok be that person but keep in mind that I'm one of those people that doesn't gibe a fuck lol

And then she banned me from that Amino too before I could type and submit a fitting farewell reply.

At least I finally got all the built-up emotional pain out of me, but it did help me realize something important: we never really were friends. I wanted more of her content despite all her red flags as a person so I tried enduring them, thinking it'd be worth it, and she only kinda cared about me when I was being a yes man. She never kept any promises and didn't respect me the same way I did her. So I could at least feel confident knowing she most likely didn't care at all when I first left.

@friffinx and the others didn't get banned, though, and Friff even started another chat on the LS Amino called "It's Brook 2" where they talked more about Vic being a terrible person. And it didn't take long for her to shut that chat down too and ban everyone from it that time. Friff sent me screenshots of what happened next (which again, I'm not gonna show), where Vic basically had a meltdown. She changed her username to "Little Miss Guillotine", and made a post about her being "finished with the bushit". In it, she announced that she didn't even like Unikitty! anymore but was still gonna keep/use Lord Scarlet because she wanted to. The part that made my blood almost boil wasn't her views on the show, she's free to have her opinion and I couldn't care less about it. What DID was that she acknowledged that she lied the whole time because "she didn't care anymore" and said that it was "our faults for believing it in the first place" and that "we needed to grow up"/"stop brining it up"

Ooooh boy, victim blaming, my favortie...

Since then she changed the Lord Scarlet Amino's theme to make it about The Penguins of Madagacar (again, fine with me). Either way she was still a narcissist and I thought she'd, sadly, likely never change. And my friends and I all thought that was the end of it.

Until a few hours ago...

I was browsing the Unikitty Amino and saw a new member named BlueCat. Didn't think anything else of it until the user PMed me. And this is what happened:

I didn't know what to think other than "I thought this day would never come", I was that shaken. This was so left field-ish that what else could I do but believe her? It didn't even seem suspicious or like she was trying to be a suck up, that wasn't Vic at all.

But the one thing I knew I had to do was ban her because even if she meant well and did it for the right(?) reasons, but I still asked if I should in the staff chat. @girly-glorious (also amazing so pls check her out :D) told me that yes, it was ban evasion so since I'm a leader too now I could to it on my own. But I knew I had to message Vic first and Girly told me to be careful, so this is what I sent:

And then I banned her, the end (not really)

Now I don't understand how or why this sudden behavior change happened but I don't know if I should question it in case it's personal. But again, I at least want to believe that she's really being genuine and had a change of heart because never in a million years could I imagine her being this mature. Again, she didn't demand that I forgive me or probably even expect me to. But the message still does leave me feeling sorry for her.

Now I thought that was the real end of it until I see the Penguins of Madagascar/old Lord Scarlet Amino on my sideboard.

She unbanned me.

Now I don't know where we'll go from here, if anywhere. I'm not too sure if I can really let my guard down around someone who hurt me so badly just in case she does it again. So I may not talk to her again, but if she really asks something from me, I might try and build up courage to ask her more about how she came to apologizing to me. Plus she followed me on Wattpad too.

But this is why I didn't show our conversation right before my ban or her "f.u." posts. Because I don't want people seeing more of Vic's past behavior and possibly embarrassing her about it if she ever sees this. But that's kinda why I felt like it was 100% necessary to finally make a sequel post in the end; I'm hoping people at least acknowledge Vic has changed and don't keep thinking about based on what I shared out of attempts to gain sympathy like a crybaby.

So before I go: PLEASE, DON'T GO AFTER OR HARASS VIC. I KNOW YOU PROBABLY WON'T, BUT THIS IS SERIOUS. ALL THE PROBLEMATIC LORD SCARLET DRAMA IS STUFF OF THE PAST AND NEITHER OF US WANT TO KEEP LOOKING BACK ON IT.

I hope this helps whoever's reading as much as it did me.

u said the other night that u would explain the "you go too fast for me" line, i'm not the anon that asked about it but if u would be willing to do so still, i would love to hear ur thoughts. i have a straight friend who laughed at it bc they interpreted it as the surface level "crowley drives really fast" and thought it was intended as a joke and i don't know how to explain to them the depth of that line and i was hoping ur reading ur thoughts might help me articulate mine. thank u

oh yeah absolutely. I should have known that my adhd would get in the way of me remembering to explain it without that ask there to remind me!

Ok I feel like you’re asking me to explain it to people who literally do not have any media literacy so let me take it truly step by step.

Step 1: writers, actors and directors use subtext in film. Literally all stories have SOME KIND of subtext because stories suck without subtext. subtext can be things that are implied about a character’s feelings (eg we kind of know han and leia have feelings for each other before they tell us so), it can be symbols you use to encode your story with political/ideological messages (famous example: the eyes in the great gatsby...the light in the great gatsby...gatsby in the great gatsby), and you use it to create tension and raise the stakes in a scene by making the scene be about two things at once, a surface level thing that moves the story forward and s secondary thing that moves character forward...I wish I could think of any other famous example off the top of my head but the one they use in so many writing classes is basic instinct...the detective interrogates sharon stone “what’s your new book about?” She says “about a detective who falls for the wrong woman.she kills him.” She’s implying he’s gonna fall for her etc. This is super obvious but there can obviously be subtler examples

Ok so premise 2: it’s more likely that a scene or piece of dialogue or plot point serves a purpose beyond its literal meaning when reading it literally (and only literally) would render it completely superfluous to plot or character. This is especially true of gay coding in film. is there any point to Plato having a picture of Alan Ladd in his locker or swinging around a rubber hose like that in Rebel without a Cause if NOT to tell us he’s gay? 10/10 film teachers (all across the Kinsey scale) say nope all of that is there to Drop Hints He’s Gay. Ok at this point if your friends go “obviously that’s just a prop not a plot point that has another purpose as well”...he’s a great example. in BBC Merlin when Arthur is dying he gives his seal to someone to take back to Guinevere, naming her as his successor and then he goes off with Merlin who is trying to cure him and then he dies in Merlin’s arms...on the dvd commentary, as he hands off the seal, the writer of the show said “oh there goes the last vestige of his heterosexuality—i mean marriage!”...like yeah he was half kidding but writers absolutely know this stuff and they know use of subtextual cuss creates a subconscious impression in the viewer’s mind, leading them to the right emotional place (in the Merlin example, even if you don’t read the handing off of the seal as a symbol of him saying “goodbye to his heterosexuality,” it gives you the mental impression that he is easily parting with Gwen and going with Merlin).

Finally in the context of that actual scene: 80% of the conversations aziraphale and crowley have in that montage are completely unnecessary to plot. it’s all about character. By the time we get to the car specifically, we already know aziraphale is anxious about rules but willing to break them, we know these two like each other and we know crowley likes to be nice to aziraphale. So what possible new thing could they communicate? well, lots. even without a gay reading...we get that aziraphale cares enough about crowley to specifically break a rule for him, that he’d rather do this than see crowley in danger, and we also get that crowley wants to hang out and is disappointed that aziraphale won’t come with him. Up to the point where crowley offers to give aziraphale a lift as a thank you, you can be like “ok even if I read this at a surface level, I’m getting new character information, this all makes sense and is communicating new information to me” but it’s utterly pointless to have crowley offer a SECOND TIME and insist “I’ll give you a lift anywhere you want to go” and it really serves no purpose for aziraphale to say “you go too fast for me” in THAT voice if NOT to tell us a subtextual GAY story. What does it add to the story for crowley to offer again and for aziraphale to say I can’t come with you because you go too fast if NOT to also communicate to us something about their relationship? even if you don’t read it romantically it’s just so clear that it communicates crowley being needy and aziraphale being unwilling to get on crowley’s level about breaking the rules/being friends. But it’s clearly romantic (like deliberately meant to build up subtextual “oh it’s forbidden” romantic tension). Look at the performances and directing choices! They matter! he doesn’t say this line in a funny way...this could have been played as a joke. Like aziraphale was using heaven as an excuse the first time he said no to the ride but actually he’s been trying hard to hide that he’s scared of cars going too fast!! I know it doesn’t sound like a good punchline but I could 100% direct that scene to be incredibly funny with no dialogue change. You just need to change the tone and pacing to set up “you go too fast for me crowley” as a comedic reveal...but he says it softly....he says it super seriously and sadly......why.....WHY......

Valentine's.

"What are those?" You raised a brow at the flowers on your desk.

"Those are flowers...the things with petals and they small nice, you sometimes find them in a garden..." Anderson sarcastically muttered.

You rolled your eyes and bopped him on the head with a file you had in your hand "I know what flowers are smart arse! What are they doing on my desk? Did someone leave them for Sally?"

Anderson shook his head "Nope...they're yours from a secret admirer..." he wiggles his brows.

You narrowed your eyes "It better not be you winding me up!"

"It's really not!" He defended "I don't know who left them, they were on your desk this morning when I came in." You looked back and forth from Anderson to be beautiful bunch of flowers whilst you removed your jacket and hung it over your chair. You moved them to a spot on the floor beside the desk. "It's strange...sunflowers aren't usually associated with Valentine's," Anderson uttered as he tapped away on his keyboard.

You looked down at the flowers, baffled, yet the corners of your mouth were tugging upwards "They're my favourite.. you quietly admitted before your eyebrows knitted together "But I've never told anyone they're my favourite, so how does this person know?"

Anderson simply shrugged "Maybe you did tell someone and they've either a) blabbed or b) it could be the person you've told..." Anderson wiggled his brows and you glared at him through your eyelashes.

"It doesn't matter, just someone being nice. I don't do Valentine's anyway..." you began to type up a report and Anderson sniggered in his seat "What?" You narrowed an eye.

"You don't do Valentine's because in all the years I've known you, you've never had one! Come on Y/N, do you have any plans for tonight?"

You sighed as you typed, not taking your eyes away from the computer screen "Well apart from me taking a long romantic stroll up the wine aisle and then the aisle with all the chocolate at the supermarket...no."

You could hear Anderson half groan half laugh "Why don't you put those police skills to use and figure out who your admirer is?" You glanced down to the sunflowers again and pondered over Anderson's comment.

"No."

Anderson blinked at your deadpanned reply before letting out a dramatic sigh. He sighed again, even louder and then again, trying to capture your attention.

"I'm trying to focus..." you warned him with a deadly look "I don't have the time to find this person!"

"There's always time lurveeeeeeeeeeee!" He teased and you flung a pen at him, he caught it with a loud clap "I want to know who it is too!"

"I'm going for lunch..." you uttered and saved the file on the computer before shutting it down. You grabbed the rest of your things and looked down at the sunflowers again...not knowing who left them was slowly starting to eat away at you. "I'm going to drop in and see Sherlock and John before getting my usual at Speedy's for lunch. Do you want anything?"

"I want to know who your admirer is!" He stood up and practically shouted it across the office. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the pair of you.

Your face burned from blushing so much "You are so lucky I don't have my gun on me right now because I'd use it on you..." you gritted your teeth at Anderson who sheepishly smiled. You grabbed your things and left.

"Hey," you walked into the flat and found Sherlock perched on his chair and on his phone texting away "Where's John?" You noticed the doctor's absence.

"Picking Rosie up from nursery...why are you here?" He muttered and you rolled your eyes, plopping yourself down on John's chair.

"Well it's nice to see you too! You know I pop in every afternoon before I go to lunch to see my favourite cousin!"

He looked up to you with a smirk "I'm your favourite?"

You gruntled "Don't tell Myc." Glancing around the living room you noticed a stack of unsolved cases building up on the fireplace "You taking a break?"

Sherlock rolled his eyes and stood up, making his way over to the stack of letters and papers and ran a finger through them all "I'm waiting until your finished with your current case. You know I only like working with you. Although I don't know why you work at Scotland Yard, you could do so much better."

"I enjoy it," you craned your neck to look at him "Plus I get flowers..." you added, smiling to yourself. It quickly disappeared when Sherlock caught you and raised a brow.

Before he could open his mouth to interrogate you, someone entered the living room with a tray carrying a teapot, cups, milk, sugar and biscuits "Ooh oh! Only me! Y/N!" Mrs Hudson cooed "Its so lovely to see you, tea?"

"No thank you, Mrs Hudson. I'm just popping down to the cafe to have some lunch. My break doesn't last forever!" You laughed and stood up.

"You've just missed G-" Mrs Hudson but herself off when she spotted Sherlock sending her a conspicuous glare, one that you didn't notice. She cleared her throat before continuing "-John!" She almost yelled out his name "Yes he's just away not that long ago."

"Right..." you politely smiled "Well I have to be off, see you both later!"

"Have a wonderful Valentine's Day Y/N!" Mrs Hudson grinned just as you headed towards the door. You tightly shut your eyes before groaning out a strained 'Thanks'. She giggled to herself "Oh Frank and I had wild Valentine's days...he'd do this thing where he was-"

You quickly cut her off "-Got to go!" You sent a single wave to the both of them, Sherlock was starting to grimace on his seat as Mrs Hudson continued.

You stepped into Speedy's and were instantly hit with the smell of coffee. The cafe was covered with bright red hearts and filled with couples holding hands and lovingly gazing at one another.

You made your way to the counter and just as you were about to place your order the waitress held her hand up with a smile "It's already taken care of, just take a seat."

You raised a brow "W-what do you mean?" You asked as she came around from behind the bar and took you to a table that had a single sunflower on it and a little package wrapped in brown paper and tied with red string with a heart gift tag attached to it "What is this?" You breathed out, too flabbergasted to speak more than three words.

"Courtesy of your admirer," the waitress coyly smiled "I'll be right back with your lunch." She walked away and left you more confused than ever. You slowly sat down in the chair and read the tag on the package 'Open this book and you will find, the reason why you have made me lost my mind.' You let out a small laugh and tore the paper off a journal of some sort. You looked at the plain cover with a furrowed brow before you opened it inside. You gasped to yourself finding the pages bursting with little drawings, hearts, poems and a list on the second page with the title 'Reasons why I can't get you out of my mind'. With each word you read your smile grew;

'•Your smile.

•Your laugh.

•The days you smell of strawberries because you've brought those flavour of sweets into the office.

•The days when you're proud of yourself for closing a case (I'm proud of you too.)'

You felt your heart flutter, you shut the book over with a soft thud as the waitress came with your lunch. "Can you tell me who it was who left this?"

She sadly smiled "They told me to keep it a secret, I'm sorry." She walked off and you let out a sigh, brushing your fingers over the cover as you tried to deduce who it was.

"I can't believe I'm saying this but Anderson," his head popped up from behind his computer screen and he turned the radio he was listening to down a little. You let out a defeated sigh "I need your help finding out who my admirer is."

"Yes!" He ecstatically stood up and swivelled his chair around to sit next to you. He soon got into detective mode "They left you that too?" He pointed to the book and you handed it over to him, even if it felt like handing him a piece of your soul. "It's interesting that they've typed everything and then glued the bits of paper in so you can't figure who it is by their handwriting..." he thought aloud "Have you made a list?"

"Not yet," you uttered before grabbing some paper and a pen "Okay, we'll start with this floor...let me see....there's Jackson, Daniels, Williamson, Samuels, Anderson," you playfully glared at him beside you before he tutted, took the pen and scribbled his name out. "Uhh...there's Hunter and Peters too-"

"Don't forget Lestrade," Anderson interjected.

You looked up and furrowed a brow at Anderson "Do you really think so?" You asked in a hushed tone.

"Why not?" He shrugged. Your eyes flickered up to Greg and you gulped before writing down his surname and a trembling hand. "Why are you so shaky?" Anderson asked and you shook your head. It hit him and he smiled widely "You like him don't you?"

"Shut up."

"Do you want it to be him who's done all this?"

"I don't know! Maybe?" Anderson sent you a knowing look and you let out a groan "Alright yes! Yes I like Greg and yes I want him to be the one who's responsible for this, but what if it's not?" Anderson blinked once and then twice, realising that you had a point.

The pair of you peered over your computer monitor and looked at Greg who was on the phone in his office. He looked over and saw the two of you staring, you and Anderson quickly sat back down again looked at each other. The radio was still playing in the background, the host was playing Valentine's requests.

"This next one is for Y/N Y/L/N!" The radio cackled and you looked at Anderson in shock, although he was as equally as shocked. "Apparently this is the only love song she likes..." he laughed "'It must be love' by Madness."

You turned to Anderson and a smile slowly formed on your face "It's true..." you whispered to Anderson "It's the only one I like. But again, I've never told anyone. How do they know?"

"I can ask about, see if anyone knows anything?" You nodded and he dashed away. You reached over to turn up the radio a little before sitting back down in your seat and smiling to yourself.

The rest of the day dragged in, you barely saw Anderson as he was busy trying to get to the bottom of who was your admirer.

"It's alright," you assured with a disappointed smile "Thanks for the help though." You gave him a quick hug before putting on your jacket and flinging your bag over your shoulder.

"No problem, I hope you find out. Have a nice night, Y/N."

"You too!" You picked up your flowers and left.

On the way back home, you stopped off at the small shops at your house to pick up some shopping. A worker smirked seeing you with the biggest bunch of sunflowers in the world in your arms.

"Someone was lucky!" They winked and nodded towards the flowers.

You smiled "If only I knew who they were from!" Making your way down an aisle, you reached your hand out to grab a pizza for yourself when you froze seeing a note on top of the box of your usual choice. 'Dinner's ready, Y/N. You better hurry home.'

You ran as fast as you could out of the shop and down he street to your flat. A light was on and you look in a deep breath before rushing into the stairwell and practically leaping up the stairs.

You stood outside your door for a moment, a million thoughts running though your head, nerves creating a knot in your stomach, trembling fingers...you had to compose yourself.

Lightly pushing on your door, it opened and you felt tears welling in your eyes seeing your flat beautifully decorated with flowers, candles, hearts cut out of red paper and a trail of rose petals leading to your living room. You placed down your bag and flowers on the long table by your door and then took off your coat. You walked though to the living room slowly and felt the air leave your lungs within less than a second.

"Greg?"

The Di bashfully smiled and guiltily held his hands up. You reached your hand out as you walked towards him, relieved when it pressed against his chest and knowing that he was there and he was real.

"Happy Valentine's Day, Y/N."

You let out a watery laugh and wiped away a stray tear with the back of your hand. You leaped into his arms and he spun you in a circle "I can't believe you did all this for me."

"Why wouldn't I?" You both pulled back at the same time but were drawn together again like a pair of magnets, your lips crashing together. You finally thanked your admirer for all the wonderful little gifts he had gave you throughout the day.

You pulled back, both of you smiling so wide that your cheeks ached "How did you know? How did you know everything? The flowers, the song...how did you know all of that?"

Three weeks earlier...

"And you're sure? 100% sure?" Greg asked as he took down notes.

"I'm positive...I know that her favourite flowers are sunflowers, she always goes to Speedy's for lunch. Always. I also know that 'It must be love' by Madness is the only love song on the planet she likes. I've heard her bang on about it so much that it once almost made my ears bleed and I know that every Wednesday after work she goes to the shop beside her house to pick up dinner which is always cheese pizza."

Greg nodded and scribbled down everything "Okay. Thanks Sherlock."

Greg looked off into the distance before looking down at you again, innocently ignoring your questions with a smile before pecking your lips "Dinner's getting cold!"

------------------------

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope you've all had a lovely day 😁❤️
