My friend already had to deal with not feeling like a "regular" girl cause she had to stab herself constantly to live. It's disgusting that on top of already having to deal with that feeling, she also had to deal with this issue as well. That her survival cost her and her family so much money every year.
She is gone now. I watched her suffer and try to rebel. I watched her live the most she could. I heard stories of her wrecklessness just so she could feel normal for a bit. I can not even begin to fathom how much the sheer monetary value the world had forced onto her life for simply existing hurt her. All weighing down until she couldn't anymore. (She did not end herself, just to be clear. She was wreckless in her want to feel more normal in regards to taking her medications when she should. Eventually, it took her. This was a horrible accident that could have been avoided if things had been put in place to better support people in her position. She just wanted to live)
I know so many people in the same boat. All having issues with the costs of being able to not die after what is something that doesn't normally kill people, cause them immense pain, or problems.
Hell, even if I don't have to buy medications to live. The sheer fact I am having to plan my whole life around the financial cost of making sure I can get mobility aids to walk and stand up without suffering is horrid. I think about it every day. Especially as each doctor visit grows closer and ends with them talking about said aids. I can see how much people think my ability to even walk is worth. I lie awake thinking about the sheer fact my ability to walk even has a monetary value. How will I afford it? Would it be cheaper to give up? Is the pain worth the price? Am I burden to those around me? Am I worth the price to exist? How can I justify my ability to walk aginest the money we need to eat?
This stuff doesn't just hurt people financially. It is an insult to their face. A blatant disregard for their life. Telling them the amount society thinks they are a burden or that people see them as an easy way to get money. Simply for things that either just happened, you were born with, or a whole host of other reasons that does not justify making someone pay to not die or to be able to walk, or hear, and so forth.
fyi things like insulin, hearing aids, wheelchairs, glasses costing money at all is a form of structural ableism

Mother Knows Best - M.S.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"what if something's wrong?" or... the one where you're pregnant with your first child, and matt can't stop calling up marylou's phone with questions. warnings: pregnancy, mentions of kicking, throwing up, general pregnancy symptoms. matt being a worrywart because he cares so much word count: 666 a/n: requested by anon!
Tumblr media
you doubled over, well, as much as you can, a groan leaving your lips. it took matt three point two seconds to be across the house and by your side, face full of concern.
"what's wrong? is everything okay?"
you laughed as much as you could manage standing back up as the pain in your stomach slowly dissipated.
"i'm okay, honey. baby just kicked me and i wasn't expecting it."
he nodded sympathetically, immediately helping you walk over to the couch, getting you to sit down.
"do you need anything? water? a snack? ibuprofen?"
you shook your head, smiling at him.
"matt, i'm fine, baby. take a breath."
he nodded, sucking in a sharp breath like he hadn't allowed himself to breathe in ages.
"i'm sorry, they just kick you so much-- i get worried."
you nodded, getting him to sit down with you.
"i know. you worry a lot, but it's because you care. it's okay. i promise i'm alright."
he nodded again, calming himself down. he'd never been seen pregnancy firsthand, and he'd be a liar if he said that he wasn't worried about anything and everything going wrong. that was his kid, he couldn't let anything happen to them.
"i'm gonna call my mom real quick."
you couldn't help but laugh, waving him off to go do so.
matt had called his mother for every single thing that had happened during the first seven months of your pregnancy. every pin drop, every ache, every pain, every tear, he'd called her, panicked. she'd been able to calm him down each time, offering solutions and advice, and also telling him to stop worrying so much.
now that you were nearing the eighth month, marylou never got a break from her son's contact. not that she minded, of course. she adored you both, but you always failed to talk matt out of phoning her. "it can't hurt to ask", he'd always respond with. and no, it couldn't, but still.
at this point, you just let him do it. it calmed his nerves, which in turn helped keep you relax, and helped the baby overall, so it wasn't much of a sacrifice to just let him do his thing. marylou was an amazing mother in law, and you were incredibly grateful to have such a good support system around you.
you giggled to yourself as you heard the back end of their conversation.
"is it normal for them to be kicking her so much? it's not gonna cause any problems, right?"
you felt bad for teasing, because the concern in matt's voice was genuine, but you could just see marylou fondly rolling her eyes on the other end at her son's dramatics.
"what if something's wrong?"
"are you sure?"
you covered your mouth with your hand, attempting to stop the laughter as you knew exactly how marylou was responding. you waved at matt, signaling you wanted him to walk back over to you.
"bring me the phone, baby, i want to talk to her."
he nodded, walking back over.
"mom, she wants to talk to you real quick."
he passed the phone to you, and you pressed it up against your ear, smiling.
"hey! i told him i was fine, but you know how he is."
she laughed into the receiver.
"i do. he just loves you, that's all."
"he does. i know he does."
matt looked at you suspiciously, wondering what his mother was saying about him.
"you've been an absolute saint this whole time, we're so grateful for you."
you could almost hear her smile through the phone.
"of course. what are mothers for, after all?"
you smiled, wrapping up the phone call. matt took his phone back, a fake hurt look on his face. you kissed it away, grinning at him.
"you know i love you, even when you worry so much. it means a lot to me, knowing our child is going to have an amazing father who cares so deeply about them."

The Great Non-Proposal Proposal Disaster
A drunk and tired Eddie at a 118 party, who is sprawled over the couch suddenly tells Chimney: “I’m going to ask him to marry me,” while giving Buck the biggest hearteyes.
Importantly, they are not together at this point, but Chimney assumes the secret that he's been let in on is that they secretly have been for a long while now and this is an actual serious plan Eddie has. Eddie forgets ever saying any of this, Chimney does not. This causes many problems, but maybe solves them too.
On ao3.
Ships: Buddie
Warnings: none
~~~
The barbecue at the Grant-Nash house should be winding down. Most of the kids have passed out around the room and the speech of adults is slurred with alcohol. The only people that are still animated are Bobby and Buck, Bobby because he doesn’t drink and Buck because he’s Buck.
As far as Chimney is aware, Maddie is on the porch with Athena, Karen and Hen. She had Jee-Yun the last time he checked, so he can just sink into the couch and watch Bobby and Buck talk through half lidded eyes.
He is distracted by Eddie falling next to him on the couch. His cheeks are rosy and his eyes glazed with the haze of alcohol. Chimney rarely sees Eddie loose-limbed like this, but it’s nice to see him relaxed for a change.
When he feels Chimney looking, he lolls his head to look back, sliding down the couch a bit more as he does. “Chris is sleeping. Him, Denny and Harry all still have controllers in their hands,” Eddie informs him, clarifying where he’d been off to.
The mental image makes Chimney snort lazily, before turning back to the scene before him. It is miraculous that either of them still feel up to digging through the pantry as they talk about ingredients, he thinks to himself.
Eddie groans and slides down further, shamelessly putting his head in Chimney’s lap as he also watches Buck and Bobby talk about some sort of spicy herb powder Bobby got at the market.
“Comfy?” Chimney asks, amused brow rising.
“Very,” Eddie sticks his tongue out. Then goes back to watching Bobby and Buck, mostly Buck, though, eyes tracking every excited gesture from the other fondly.
There is a moment of silence and Chimney is half falling asleep, since as much as he loves Buck and Bobby, they are also not that interesting and he’s old and tired. However, he gets snapped back to wakefulness by Eddie suddenly sighing: “I’m gonna ask him to marry me.”
Wide eyed and suddenly very much not half-conscious, Chimney stares at a seemingly oblivious Eddie, who has graduated from watching Buck fondly to full on heart eyes. What the fuck?
“Y-Yeah?” he manages to get out, needing to check if he heard what he just heard.
“Yeah,” Eddie says dreamily, not even looking Chimney’s way.
Chimney looks around. He needs someone to share this with, someone to also know this is happening, to help explain what is even happening. But there is no one. Only Chimney has heard and now he has to live with that.
Now that the shock is wearing off, it is starting to make a lot of sense. Since Ana and Taylor neither of them have seemed interested in dating and instead Buck has only gotten more and more involved with Chris and Eddie’s life. They have a plethora of inside jokes and hang out constantly. Honestly, now that he thinks about it, the only surprise is that Buck managed to keep it secret that him and Eddie have been dating for god knows how long.
It must have been a good while already, since Eddie is planning to propose to Buck. Chimney doesn’t know if he should feel hurt that it’s this serious and they didn’t share it with anyone, or that he should just be glad they’re together. I mean, everyone with eyes can see how in love they are, they just all assumed both were too dumb to see it themselves.
However, they did figure it out themselves! Yay. Now Eddie just has to propose and if they want a wedding they have to tell everyone and then they can all be put out of their misery and no longer have to watch the pining, because they’ll instead be sappy… which might not necessarily be better now that he thinks about it.
Fuck. It suddenly hits him that he can’t say anything until Eddie finally pops the question. If he says something before, everyone is going to interrogate them about how and when. And then Buck and Eddie will want to know how they know and Chimney definitely won’t be able to keep it a secret if that happens.
Dammit, Eddie needs to ask Buck soon, because Chimney sucks at this. He is about to inform Eddie of this fact, but when he goes to do that, he sees that Eddie has fallen asleep.
Well, fuck Eddie, he can have his beauty sleep later. Chimney is not making this mistake again. Sadly, before he can prod Eddie, Buck suddenly says: “Chim, don’t move!”
Of course, Chimney freezes, giving Buck startles eyes that quickly turn annoyed when he sees Buck has his phone out. “Really, Buck?”
“Oh shut up, you don’t know the material this asshole has on me. Him and Chris are menaces,” Buck rolls his eyes as he takes the picture.
Chimney has to make an effort to not let his face show anything. Now that he knows that Buck and Eddie are together, he is seeing it everywhere. Like of course Eddie has embarrassing sleep pictures of Buck and of course Chris is in on it. How did they all miss it?
Thankfully, Buck is distracted by taking his picture, which gives Chimney enough time to lean into the annoyance instead of the revelation. “You’re so immature.”
“How is Buck immature now?” They get interrupted by Hen, who is entering along with the others, breaking the moment and further robbing Chimney of any chance to talk to Eddie about what he has just confessed to him.
Eddie blinks awake at the interruption and Buck pouts: “Come on, I almost had a good angle.”
Chimney watches as Eddie blinks into wakefulness as he rubs his eyes, before processing the words and grinning: “You’ll never get me, Buckley,” in the most unsubtle flirting manner known to man.
All Chimney wants to do is groan ‘get a room’ but he has to last longer than that, so instead he wrestles his lips into saying: “Let’s go home,” instead, only belatedly turning to Maddie so he doesn’t look like he’s telling Eddie that.
He’s sure he is weird during the goodbyes, but how can he not be when Buck is driving home with Eddie and comes walking in with Chris asleep in his arms while Eddie does all the doors, a lovesick smile on his face. Fuck, this wedding cannot come soon enough.
Maddie even asks if he’s okay when they’re driving home. Chimney almost breaks then, but he can’t. It isn’t fair to Buck to ruin a proposal he doesn’t even know is coming by sending his sister his way, incensed at not being let in on this life change. So he just grimace-smiles and says he’s fine, before rushing off to put Jee-Yun to bed.
The next day, he gets no panicked texts or calls from Eddie about it, which is weird and when he goes into work the next day and Eddie is normal, a dread pools in his stomach. Eddie doesn’t remember telling Chimney this. The one person he could have talked to about it, doesn’t know. Shit.
It’s fine.
It is fine.
It is totally fine.
Chimney can so totally and completely do this. Now that his eyes have been opened, he can see how intertwined the two are. They’re practically married already when you objectively look at them, so the proposal can happen any minute now. Chimney can last until then.
…He will just be unable to be normal around either on of them until then, but that is just a sacrifice he’ll have to make. It’ll be fine. Eddie will propose, Buck will come in excited, everyone will know and Chimney will be able to breathe again.
Then three days of pass and nothing happens. Granted, three days is not long, but it is if you are Chimney caught in this rough situation. There are only so many times you can walk away and Hen is about to demand to check his dick to see if there is anything wrong with him, since his excuse of the bathroom is wearing thin to the point of being worrying instead.
So, Chimney starts dropping hints. It’s out of the goodness of his own heart really. Eddie should be thanking him for pushing so nothing gets ruined. And he’s subtle about it too! He just pointedly asks Eddie if there are any plans on his days off, nudges him knowingly when he catches him looking at Buck, and wiggles his brows behind Buck’s back when the two of them talk about hanging out together. Like he said, subtle.
Eddie is giving him looks whenever he does it, likely catching on to the fact that Chimney knows, but that’s okay. As long as it gets him to move, then it is worth it. Soon they’ll all know anyway and this problem will be solved.
But now a week has passed and there is still no Buck coming into work with a ring. He is starting to drag his weirdness home to Maddie, which is unacceptable. He does not want to rush Eddie in his proposal, but something has to change. For fucks sake, Buck is making cookies for Chris’s bake sale, how is Eddie not on one knee already?
Meanwhile Eddie does indeed not remember telling Chimney any of that and is only slightly panicking because it seems that Chimney has caught on to his feelings for Buck. This would be less than ideal, since Eddie is planning to take these feelings with him to the grave.
Buck is so important to him, he cannot imagine his life without him. He craves for them to be something other than they are now, but he is scared to change it. Chimney’s nudging has made hin aware of how obvious he’s being, but he can’t seem to change it, looking away from Buck is just impossible.
However, it is not just all bad. Chimney’s nudging is knowing, too knowing. It’s almost as if he truly does know something, something other than Eddie’s crush. They’re all nosy and meddlers, but he feels like Chimney wouldn’t do all this just to fuck with Eddie when he knew how anxious Eddie is about it all. Which means he must know something. Maybe even something about Buck’s feelings.
If there is a person Buck would tell he likes Eddie, it is Maddie. And if there is a person she would tell, it’s Chimney. And if there is a person who can’t keep a secret, then it’s Chimney. Therefore, there is a chance that Buck likes him back, but also isn’t willing to risk it.
Of course, this is not set in stone, but the idea makes him feel better about the whole thing. Which means that Eddie is prepped when Chimney finally cracks.
Chimney cracks exactly eight days after the party where Eddie confessed to his and Buck’s secret relationship and to his proposal plans, a personal record for keeping a secret.
Today’s shift has been terrible. They are not subtle in the slightest and if Chimney has to go another day of watching a blushing Buck as Eddie gets something out of his hair, or them practically on top of each on the couch, or them flirting in the middle of a high stakes rescue, without the ability to say something about it? He is going to scream and tear all his hair out.
They’re off for 48 hours after this, which means that Chimney has decided Eddie has more than enough time to pull together a proper proposal. On top of that, sinceBuck has his stupid sperm donation, they’re not leaving together for a change. So, Chimney can yank Eddie to the side when shift is done.
“You have to ask Buck.”
“What?”
“You have to ask Buck,” Chimney repeats. “I know, okay. I know and I can’t keep my mouth shut, so if you want to do it, before I explode and do it for you, then please, do so. Quickly.”
Eddie blinks for a few seconds, then blushes as he bashfully rubs his neck and asks: “You think he will go for it?”
Oh my god, really? He’s insecure about it? All he needed was a fucking pep talk? Chimney has been suffering for this? He levels a look at Eddie and says: “Eddie, that man is so gone for you, it is almost nauseating with how sweet it is. Please, put all of us out of our misery and ask.”
“It’s a big change. What if it goes wrong? What if he says no?” Eddie says, nervous now. Chimney has never seen Eddie nervous like this.
Instantly, he softens a little, remembering that Eddie is nearly a decade younger and very much burned by a marriage before. “Buck’s not going to say no, I promise. What you two have is solid. It can only get better. You just got to ask.”
“Thank you, Chim,” Eddie smiles, straightening his spine a little and giving him a nod, before marching out of the firehouse with a pep in his step, hopefully to finally put a fucking ring on Buck’s finger.
“Just doing my duty,” Chimney says, mostly to himself now. Just 48 more hours, then he’ll be released of this hell and they can all be happy for the engaged couple. He almost made it. Thank fuck.
To not go insane during those 48 hours, he drops Jee-Yun off at the Lee’s and whisks Maddie away to a no phones spa. He cannot deal with the suspense of waiting for a text that he did it from Eddie. If Buck wanted to immediately tell his sister he got engaged, then he shouldn’t have had a secret relationship behind her back. Chimney is totally writing this up to plausible deniability if confronted.
Still, despite his maybe harsh attitude, he is buzzing with excitement in the kitchen next shift, waiting for Buck and Eddie to come in. After all he has gone through for them, he thinks he is entitled to feeling smug about knowing first and keeping it a secret.
When they come in, he instantly knows it happens, because Buck is practically beaming, looking as if he’s about to burst with happiness, while Eddie’s shoulders are relaxed and he’s staring at Buck with open adoration.
He sees Hen and Bobby exchange looks, them also catching onto the couple. However, Chimney struggled for them, so he gets first dibs on commenting. So he grins and calls out: “Okay, you two, show us the ring.”
Instead of an even bigger grin like Chimney has expected, Buck frowns in confusion at him, while everyone else turns to look at him, a ‘what the fuck’ written all over their faces. Eddie is just staring at him as if he can’t believe this is happening. “Ring?” he finally squeaks.
“Yeah. Ring,” Chimney says slowly, not sure what isn’t clicking. “You were going to ask Buck to marry you. You told me. Since you two have been dating in secret for god knows how long without telling us. Which is rude, by the way.”
Buck now turns to look at Eddie, smile back, though shier as he says: “You said that?”
“I- I don’t remember that,” Eddie stammers now bright red. “And I never said that. I- You told me to ask Buck out, not propose to him!”
“What? No!” Chimney responds. “You’re already together, why would you need to ask him out?”
“Since when have we been together?” Buck says, now registering the rest. “We had one date. Did I miss us dating?”
“No, you didn’t. I only just asked,” Eddie panics.
“Okay, what is happening?” Chimney mutters, unsure how they went from A to B.
Bobby and Hen both watch the chaos unfold for a moment, before Hen steps in: “Okay. Shut it. Eddie, just tell us what happened.”
“Hey, no fair! Why does he get to tell his side?” Chimney protests.
“As one of the people actually involved in the relationship or engagement, or whatever, I feel like he knows better,” Hen says, condescendingly sympathetic.
“Rude,” Chimney mutters, but he shuts up.
“Eddie,” Hen prompts, gesture for Eddie to explain. Next to her, Chimney crosses his arms expectingly, curious how Eddie will get himself out of this one.
Meanwhile Eddie is flustered a bright red and explains: “Chimney started acting weird like a week and a half ago. I thought he caught onto my feelings for Buck or knew something, then he pulls me aside and tells me to just ask Buck. I thought he meant ask him out. And I did. We went on one date, just one. No secret relationship. We were going to tell all of you immediately.”
“Yeah, I can confirm, only one date. I would have not been able to keep that secret,” Buck interjects, holding his hand up like he’s in a classroom wanting to get a turn to speak.
“We know, Buck,” Bobby says gently, which is so rude. Chimney knows what he heard, he can’t believe he’s getting betrayed like this. He knew Eddie kind of forgot, but he remembered when Chimney reminded him. How else would he know what Chimney was talking about?
“Chimney,” Hen asks, which is why she is his favorite, because Chimney deserves to have his story heard.
“Eddie told me he was going to ask Buck to marry him,” Chimney explodes. “He did. I heard it with my own ears. He said it and then he didn’t ask and I have been suffering in silence trying to not ruin his proposal for Buck and now he’s pretending like he doesn’t know anything!”
“When did he say that?” Bobby asks, trying to soothe the situation.
“At the barbecue!” Chimney exclaims. “He was watching you and Buck putter around and straight up said, and I quote, ‘I am gonna ask him to marry me.’ How else am I supposed to interpret that?”
“You said that?” Buck asks Eddie, voice quiet and awed.
“Uhm, I- I don’t remember doing that,” Eddie flushes, not meeting Buck’s eyes.
Cautious and fragile, Buck asks: “Did you- did you mean it?”
Eddie’s eyes snap up and he looks caught for a moment. Impossibly, he becomes more red as he swallows thickly, then softly admits: “Uhm, may- maybe. Would that- would that be… okay?”
A smile blooms on Buck’s face as he nods: “Yeah, that- that would very much be okay.”
“Oh, that’s- that’s good, so uhm-” Eddie searches for his words, clearly wanting to do something, but unsure how or if he should.
Watching them now, it begins to dawn on Chimney that maybe Eddie had not been lying about them not being together and there not being a proposal plan. That these idiots truly had not figured their shit out together before these past two days and Eddie just said that because he is a fucking asshole, who likes to make Chimney suffer with his lovesick foolishness.
“No,” he interrupts them, breaking the moment as they both snap their eyes to him. “After all I have been through, you are not proposing to Buck like this after one date. You are getting a ring and doing it right and keeping me the fuck out of it when you do it.”
“Hey, no fair, he can do whatever he wants. If my boyfriend wants to ask me to marry me, he can,” Buck argues, having Eddie’s back, because of course he does. He always has.
“Boyfriend?” Eddie repeats, bashfully happy.
“I mean, if that’s okay,” Buck offers.
“Oh my god, you can’t jump straight into being fiances,” Hen exclaims, realizing at the same time as Chimney does that they haven’t even had the boyfriend talk yet, but are jumping head first into the fucking marriage talk.
“We can do whatever we want,” Buck sticks out his tongue.
“Yeah, what he said,” Eddie says, because he also will always have Buck’s back.
“You don’t rush these things,” Hen argues.
“Everyone calm down,” Bobby also inserts himself into the explosion of noise as voices overlap while they all argue.
Chimney is pretty sure neither Buck nor Eddie care about what any of them say and are walking out of this shift engaged. He went through all this trouble to not ruin Buck’s proposal and all he did was rob Buck of a proposal.
As he listens to them talk he can only think one thing; Maddie is going to kill me for keeping her out of the loop on this. He should have really learned his lesson about not involving himself in Buckley secrets.
~~
A/N:
A moment of silence for Chimney here lmao. Like he did not deserve any of this and it is not his fault Buck and Eddie are like this xp
I have been writing so many secretly married fics that it was nice to change it up for a fic, even if you got to keep them the idiot4idiot that they are (affectionate)

Note
heard you were asking for hurt/comfort: how about tlou!omega!reader and alpha!abby go on a mission with another omega and reader gets possessive when abby starts being overprotective of the other omega
these two make me mad
(i ship the token omega from here with the token alpha from here and yup the reader is the one who introduced them)
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
For a few months you've been advocating very loudly for the omegas who want to join the military team in WLF: you know for a fact that they'll be faster than alphas, take more risks and generally be useful. It's not even omegas you have to fight - of course there's people who don't think it's a good idea - but the alphas. They complain and complain and complain and don't take any omega in training with them for a mission.
One time you had to stand up for a fellow omega with a gun in your hand and put a round of bullets near the alphas' feet to show them you're not joking, and it gained you a certain reputation among other trainees. It becomes a common occurrence for you to take a new omega on the patrol.
(Does drive Abby insane? Yes. Is she proud of you? Also yes.)
So when this young, polite omega comes to you and asks to take her on the patrol with you, you agree right away, not remembering that you're scheduled with Abby this time. It's not a big deal, and it's a good practice for Lily to be in the presence of an annoying mother-hen during the patrol, so you don't see the problem. Abby doesn't either, so you all go on the patrol.
You stop to get your guns, and you show Lily which ones will be better for her for now - she's probably not used to the recoil your shotgun gives you, so you select an easier option for her. Lily smiles and thanks you. You and Abby take your own guns.
"How can I help?" Lily asks, smiling and almost bouncing from excitement. It's cute. You like her.
"Give me your gun." Abby tells her, and when Lily dutifully hands her the gun, Abby goes through the usual check. Then she returns it, and Lily blushes. "All good."
You blink. You check your own gun. You don't say anything and try to not stink of displeasure.
It's not like you need Abby to check your gun - shit, out of three of you you should be the one to check everyone's guns. And usually, Abby asks if she can, you know it strokes her instincts to take care of you, but today is like she suddenly remembered you're an independent person and don't actually need her.
It hurts.
And it doesn't get better. You show Lily all your tricks and share your experience, pointing out every little detail she needs to pay attention to, and Lily listens eagerly, like an A+ student.
Then she trips over a rock, Abby catches her and stabilises her, and Lily blushes, flustered, says thank you in a sweet voice. She smells pleased too, and she clearly attracted to Abby - or, you think when you observe her longer, just not used to an alpha being all chivalrous. Lily doesn't notice she is doing this. Abby doesn't notice she is paying more attention and care to the other omega right in front of you.
You're the only one who sees it and it drives you crazy.
Somehow, you keep it civil with Lily - she is young and inexperienced and you don't have the luxury of causing a scene because you're in the middle of nowhere and have to look out for any possible threats.
But you can't help yourself. You keep closer to Abby and an one point you nuzzle her right in front of Lily's face, and the quiet growl that escapes your throat when you lock eyes is enough for Lily to look away, embarrassed. Abby laughs, clearly thinking you're being cute, but you growl at her too, still hurt.
It becomes awkward really quickly. You stay close to Abby, touch her every chance you get and it's embarrassing for you. You're not a teenager to go around marking your territory - even more, you have a damn responsibility to teach Lily, not to make her feel othered because she smiled at your alpha. It's unbecoming.
You get over yourself when you see how hunched over Lily is, clearly intimidated by you: she walks ahead of you, looks around and desperately pretends everything is fine.
Abby makes a move first, not able to have an omega in distress next to her, but you growl at her so loudly she stops, her eyes flashing red as if you're provoking her.
"What's the matter with you?" She asks, annoyed, and you roll your eyes.
"I'll deal with it."
You walk over to Lily, leaving Abby and her stoic expression behind.
"Hey. I'm sorry I got so territorial."
Lily looks at you with such deep guilt you're taken aback.
"No, I should be sorry, Abby is your alpha and I swear I didn't know I was acting like I was courting."
"Hey, relax, I'm a big girl. I know how their mother-henning can get to you. She is no better, but I'll deal with it later. Anyway, I shouldn't have let it affect me when I am here to teach you, so. I'm sorry."
"It's fine, really, I totally get it. And I've learnt a lot today! Thank you." Lily smiles, eager and anxious.
She is still intimidated by you, but at least you cleared your conscience. You let go of it: you got territorial, Abby gets territorial, it's fine, it's how it works.
After this Lily is hyper-aware of her behaviour around Abby, and Abby looks at you like it's your fault, which pisses you off - mostly because it's true.
The patrol goes smoothly, until it doesn't: you hear the noise from the bushes and you have time to only look at Abby to alarm her. Next moment the infected tries to jump Lily and Abby knocks her out of the way while you put a load from your shotgun into it, making it turn to you. Abby still stands in front of Lily, clearly protecting her while you are in active danger and this? This hurt like a bitch. You reload and put another round right in its head, blowing it up to pieces, and everything is quiet again.
All of you breathe heavily, recovering from what just happened, but you think faster: there will be more in a second.
Just like this, Lily shrieks, ambushed, but she quickly shoots and puts another one down. You come together, back to back, and watch for the next threat. Abby usually goes aggressive and saves you ammo by using her hands, but you prefer to keep the distance - especially when you have all the skill for it. You hear it first, and since you're expecting it, you immediately shoot it down before it can be fully seen. Again, alphas may be strong, but omegas are fast.
"What the fuck?" Abby murmurs. "They're not supposed to be here."
"No, Manny said they had to clear out this place last week. It seems like they missed a spot."
No more infected come at you, and you sigh, releasing all the tension. Lily looks shaken, clutching the gun like her lifeline. Abby's eyes soften and she pets her on the head.
"It's okay. You did well."
"Thanks." Lily nods tightly and looks at you, alarmed. You nod to her, seconding Abby's words. You're hurt and pissed off, but Lily has nothing to do with it, so you keep it to yourself.
You come back to the stadium and after giving Lily an assuring speech that she did well, you go straight to your room. Abby follows you, confused and also a little pissed off. The moment the door closes, you let all your frustration out.
"You chose to protect her over me." You say angrily, and Abby frowns. "What? That infected was coming at me and you just stood there! I guess a younger omega who eats out of your palm is better than- than whatever I am."
Abby doesn't blink, she just stares at you, quietly furious, and you feel your eyes water. You kept it together the whole day, not letting yourself feel like you're not enough and Abby wants something completely different, someone completely different, but right now, safe in your own space, without a trainee to care about, it all crushes over you. You feel abandoned.
Abby' fury dies down the moment your lower lip starts to wobble and the first tear slides down your cheek.
"Sweetheart, no. You are my omega, come on. I don't want or need any other omega, I love you."
Abby comes over to you cautiously, ready to back off at any moment, but you lean into her, letting her hold you in her arms.
"I'm sorry." Abby murmurs into your hair. You keep crying silently, but your hands are clutched tight in Abby's shirt. "I think of your trainees like they're our little siblings, or- or kids, someone we take care of together, not in favour of each other."
You let out a sigh, sagging in Abby's arms, knowing she will catch you and hold you. She does, and slowly walks you to the couch.
"I'll do better. You will never feel like you are not who I want again."
You chuckle humourlessly, and Abby pinches your side in response.
"You don't believe me?"
"I do. I don't believe myself, Abby, and that's a battle you can't fight. But I'll do better too."
"I sure as shit hope you will, or that battle will end in me marking you-" Abby stops speaking abruptly.
You look up to check what made Abby freeze: she looks like she's got a bad fucking idea up in her head and she probably thinks she is a damn genius for it. You face is still wet, but you've stopped crying and now just watched Abby with an increasing concern.
"Let's mate."
"Fuck off, Abby." You shove her playfully and she smiles like a maniac, clearly proud of herself. "It's stupid."
"It's perfect."
Alphas are idiots, you think as you sigh loudly, preparing for a long discussion of "why getting a mating bite is not the greatest solution against my low self-esteem, Abby".
Yeah, alphas are idiots, but at least your idiot alpha is cute.
(in the end, you're the one who bites first and Abby reminds you about it every day)
(and Lily gets her own idiot alpha)
(after Abby scares the shit out of her)

So, Marketing college graduate. Apologies for the long post, but I felt it was necessary to point out how wrong this all goes, and I need to stress one thing about what I was taught during my 3 year program is that Marketing is a tool to help drive sales. A lot of people hear that and think that its all about sales, all about growth, and all about how we're able to help build better business. Its not. If anything its just another way to get people interested in a company/product/service/etc that's being offered.
My program coordinator wanted us to think critically about how we're supposed to help a business either expand into a certain field that they've specified, or what you can do to help managed/automate some functions for them to focus on other aspects of that business. So yes, the website, SEO, ad placements, etc. are important functions, but that needs to be measured with "what does the company actually need?". She wanted us to think about what would be beneficial to both the client and business. Hence why all my major, semester-long projects, across all classes, were done with thought put forth that you need to consider what is important to the client.
As an example, we had to help Carlington Booch, a local kombucha brewery, expand sales through online orders for kombucha (he had already implemented a subscription service for the website), have a full makeover of his website, help securing sponsorships from local businesses in the city, and help boost his social-enterprise. The client also ran a non-profit called Ashes to Rubies, and its meant to help combat drug addiction and homelessness in the city. So the kombucha business was meant to help pay for all the non-profits' activities and events. He would even hire on being that were on their way to beating their addictions. So we had to think about the overall impact that our suggestions would have, and whether or not they were even worth encouraging to pursue.
My group and I came up with a redone website that incorporated a storefront to it, instead of going to a separate website. We also provided him a better social media plan to help boost both parts of the social-enterprise, and bring awareness to the non-profits' activities. Including pointing him towards events where he could network and get possible sponsorships. It was a great project, and I honestly love the fact that my whole class not only gave him a lot material to work from, but after our semester was over, were told that he was implementing a lot of our suggestions to his business. It felt really good to know that we were able to help a local business achieve what they wanted.
That's what Marketing is to me, and should be for anyone that studies it. Its a form of communications, and its one that can be used for both capitalism and general, everyday functions. At its core, its function is to communicate to the larger populace about events/activities/cause, and potentially get people to participate. That's why I said we were told up front that its a tool for sales, not the main driver of them.
The problem with the marketers in OP's main post is they're the main problem that I have with capitalism; the never-ending drive for endless growth and expansion. There's never been a a need for something like that. When you focus on just that, you miss out what the grand picture is. The ACTUAL reason why people enjoy doing what they do. I wouldn't have suggested to the kombucha guy to go out and focus on door-to-door sales in an effort to get more people to visit their brewery and events. Nor would I suggest getting them to go around and sell their products in stands on random corners of the city. Its something they could do in the grand scheme of it all, but is it really the best use of time and resources? 'Cause once you realise that all the tools you have in the toolbox have a function, its then that you realise there's a lot of more nuanced use cases.
Again, apologies for the long post, I just get really urked when I see stories about people doing really stupid things despite going to school and learning about how to and not to do things.
My dad raises grass-fed beef cattle and I help him sell it, mainly by maintaining an online presence. For a while, I kept having the most ridiculous conversations with people who I assume were marketing students. I didn't want to be rude so I'd try to let them down gently but this one guy just kept insisting that with his magical marketing skills he could grow our business.
What he could not seem to comprehend is that we could not grow our business, at least not without significant time and monetary investment. Cows take two years from pregnancy to the size that you can sell. If we buy adult cows, our margins become razor thin or even negative. Even if we somehow could acquire some cows, our barn and hay fields are already near maximum capacity. Renting another field would be relatively easy, building a bigger barn not so much.
Cows are living animals, they aren't widgets that can be produced infinitely. Besides that, many businesses inherently cannot grow, because if they do they'll become something else. The delicious bakery down the street cannot produce much more than they do, if they began mass marketing and production they'd eventually be selling the equivalent of Twinkies. We grow grass-fed, organic beef, if we expanded how long would that last? Eventually we'd become the very factor farms that we hate. Some things can only ever be made on a small scale and they are usually the best things.
But also, what are they teaching them at marketing school and how is it so disconnected from reality?

What do you think would be Weiss' feelings about Yang consistently getting better grades than her ?
Ohhhh boyyy do I have thoughts on this
For one obviously I think she’d be kinda really upset about it
I think yangs a huge point of insecurity for Weiss for a really long time and I think this would really add to that in a bad way
A lot of Weiss’s problems in the beginning is insecurity
She has worked VERY hard throughout her life to be good at everything she does, she’s had to, that’s the standard she’s held to,
and she’s worked probably even harder to be good at this
Because she JUST started doing this, she doesn’t know what she’s doing, she just got here!! She had to fight a huge fucking knight thing just to be here!!! She’s putting blood sweat and tears into every second of this but she is still new to it and nothing can fix that
Yang however
Has done this her entire fucking life, she’s a god damn legacy- which you KNOW early Weiss was obsessed with
She’s got crazy experience and general knowledge and she has it so casually
Yang simply doesn’t have to work anywhere near as hard as Weiss does to be as good as she is
And even with being very good at what they’re doing yang is also well liked!! She’s popular!!! She knows how to talk to their peers in a way Weiss feels totally alienated from
For a character defined by her loneliness to stare at a character defined by her relationships with others
And it’s made so much worse by the fact that yang, is in the beginning, the only person on her team she had any hope of getting along with
Ruby’s the leader which is a position Weiss is gunning for even after Ruby gets it, she also blew her up, shes also 2 years younger then her which is understandably infuriating when she’s made the leader, they have seemingly nothing in common at first there’s no hope
Blake fucking hates her and her whole bloodline ZERO hope there
Yang is NORMAL she got in the normal way, she’s well liked, would be great for networking, she’s good at their job AND communicating while doing it, she gets along with pretty much everyone
EXCEPT WEISS!!
To yang this is just some racist rich girl who’s a total dick to her little sister for no reason, like yeah it is weird they made the girl 2 years younger then everyone the leader but that’s NOT RUBYS FAULT!!! And Weiss is her age just totally being so rude to Ruby for no reason, AND she doesn’t get along with yangs team partner, who yang actually likes (not to mention Weiss doesn’t get along with Blake cause she’s like fantasy racist, something yangs clearly not chill with)
And to Weiss this girl is the absolute representation of all of her insecurities when it comes to proving she belongs here and when it comes to her social isolation
This would just be the nail in that coffin
Weiss would be mad because grades were probably the one thing she thought she had over yang and now she has nothing and it’s a slap in the face of how god damn hard she’s been working
Not that she’d actually vocalize it, depending on if this is before or after the white fang reveal, if it’s after she’s probably upset about it but can deal with it alright if it’s before she’s def PISSEEDDDD
This isn’t me saying yang is perfect and that everyone should be soooo jealous of her or anything
I’m saying Weiss is one of the best written characters
And everything she does makes perfect sense
And that canonically
Weiss starts out as a lonely socially isolated insecure teenager girl, who was abused in a way that made it incredibly hard for her to navigate socializing, desperate to prove herself, working as hard as possible to do everything right
And she’s constantly standing next to the canonically popular, hot, tall, “party girl” character who’s been doing this all her life, who also is immediately super chummy with both of Weiss’s other teammates with seemingly no effort and on top of it had good grades
If I was Weiss I would’ve fucking strangled yang
AND she drives a motorcycle id fucking kill her
Weiss is so strong for eventually getting along with her it’s a huge sign of how fucking mature she is to constantly be improving herself as she does in the first seasons
Which I think is super because of the fact that yangs SOOOO older sister coded
And Weiss lovesss an older sister figure
Like yeah did it definitely add to her hate at first that Ruby and yang had a relationship she’s never had with her sister? Yeah for sure
But the SECOND that they slip into friendship they’re solid cause yang also loves a younger sister figure and Weiss is SUCH a middle child
Moral of the story is that I think it would really frustrate Weiss but depending on when it’s brought up and stuff she’d probably honestly take it really well cause she’s really good at dealing with this kind of thing at this point
After having to acknowledge that racism is wrong and your entire family’s evil and the way you’ve been thinking about the world your whole life is wrong and evil and needs to change
This is probably something she gets over kinda quick

Hi y’all! Ive been missing lol. Don’t worry I still have so much analysis on Weyler in season 1, but before throwing myself all the way back in I want to do a quick play by play analysis on their first meeting! (I didn’t mean for it to be so long oops)
Right before Wednesday meets Tyler for the first time, she accidentally runs into a Jericho farmer who instead of checking on Wednesday only calls her a weirdo and turns away in disgust. This matters because it truly underlines the unforgiving attitude Jericho holds towards outcasts.
As we enter the Weathervane we see Tyler panicking and frustrated over the temperamental beast, the espresso machine. Wednesday pops up and we hear the disdain in Tyler’s voice upon seeing she’s a Nevermore student. Wednesday doesn’t care and only demands her quad. Tyler looks over at the machine confused by the reply. When she explains what it is we see Tyler break out into a smile and explain that while he understands what she’s putting down, he literally cannot do anything at the moment to help her as the machine is broken. After their drip breakdown Wednesday asks what is wrong with the machine, Tyler replies
“It’s a temperamental beast with a mind of its own, and it doesn’t help that the instructions are in Italian”
He observes as Wednesday grabs the book and quickly gets to work fixing the machine. You can see the look of bewilderment on his face as he asks if she reads italian.
Then Wednesday replies “of course it's the native tongue of Machiavelli”.
Wednesday offers to fix the machine in exchange for a taxi out of Jericho. Tyler makes it clear that Uber or a train are her only options.
Wednesday interjects explaining Tyler has a “valve issue” and that she's seen it before. Tyler replies “Where? You have one of these monsters at home?”
Wednesday explains her doll guillotine and Tyler still seems unsure and is slowly letting his snarky personality peek out when BOOM Wednesday fixes the espresso machine. Tyler is impressed and comments “I never met a Nevermore kid who got their hands dirty” and finally introduces himself.
He lets out his own brand of snark before offering her a ride to the train station after his shift. Wednesday tries to bribe him into leaving early but Tyler assures her he “can't be bought”. Wednesday agrees and sits to wait as Tyler gives her a second glance before chuckling to himself.
This introduction shows us clearly what the pair are going to be for each other.
Tyler is the espresso machine, a temperamental beast in his own right. Much like the broken machine ruining Tyler’s work routine, his hyde has caused dysfunction in his life. He doesn’t know how to identify the problem let alone address it. With the actual problem being a “valve issue” that Wednesday quickly fixes Tyler is impressed.
In an espresso machine the valve’s function is to regulate pressure so that the machine can safely continue chugging on. The machine is not a problem, it only needs its regulator controlled much like Tyler or his hyde (I have hard time calling it his hyde because in my head Tyler is not separate from Hyde, Tyler is just a hyde but whatever) needs to be regulated. The machine cannot work without the valve, and Tyler is who he is because he is a hyde. He does not need to be fixed, he just needs to figure out how to reconcile with his outcast genes. Considering Tyler does not know much about outcast society, and is in fact raised to be prejudiced towards it, his hyde is foreign to him much like the instruction manual is.
Enter Wednesday who not only grew up in Outcast society but who’s family is famous and respected within it. Much like she can read Italian with no issue, she also has first hand experience with “valve issues” (in this metaphor monster/outcast issues and emotional control). She is a perfect match to help Tyler address his hyde because she can easily read the signs and analyze what the hyde needs.
The specific callout to Machiavelli is important. Machiavellianism is associated with being cunning, manipulative, and strategic. The term comes from Machiavelli's book “The Prince,” where he argued that it's okay to do whatever it takes to gain power. Typically Machiavellians have little regard in adhering to moral or ethical standards. The primary focus is on money, power and competition whilst community, self-care, and family are thrown to the wayside.
Wednesday and Tyler could both be called Machiavellians, the difference is that Wednesday covets this trait publicly, whilst Tyler savors this side of himself in the shadows. Another key difference is that Wednesday exerts too much power and control while Tyler has none. The two share the similarity that unlike a Machiavellian they do care deeply about family and while not accepting it are community oriented people.
Both speak the same language, but Wednesday holds more control because she understands it while Tyler is still learning to interpret it.
Once Wednesday is able to fix the machine Tyler shows wonderment and it shows that maybe, just maybe, this girl can understand him and that she is different from other outcasts. His separation of Wednesday from other Nevermore kids also helps to quietly validate Wednesday’s need for individuality (especially from her parent’s alma mater).
They turn to talk about ways out of Jericho where it is decided that a train is the only option. In literature trains symbolize a lot. The first is often a journey (I trust you know why). In terms of relationships they can symbolize societal differences and obstacles, (think of how trains are separated by class and you are forced to move through cars to reach certain points). They also represent change, belonging, and control. For Wednesday I believe the train is meant to represent her attempts in control over her own social world. Wednesday has the bad habit of isolating herself because love and emotion scare her.
The steam for the espresso machine and the steam that powers the train represent this emotion. Tyler needs to learn to control the emotions that cause his hyde to wild out, and Wednesday needs to let go of control and isolation in regards to her emotions so her train can run. They both have problems with intimacy and emotion, but in opposite ways. Tyler offering passage to the station and Wednesday being able to recoordinate the espresso machine shows that the other has the capability the other needs to properly function.
When Wednesday tries to bribe Tyler he quickly shoots her down. He can't be bought or controlled so easily. I think this is to show that Tyler doesn’t truly care about power over others (money is useless without an economy) he only wants to respect his own autonomy. Wednesday relents and Tyler chuckles and it shows success for each character’s arc. Wednesday let go of control of when she left and gave it to Tyler, and Wednesday respected Tyler’s decision (that he based on his own moral identity). It’s truly the best little snippet of foreshadowing.
Or it could just be a cute romcom style coffee shop meet cute.

Jax definitely had a falling out with ragatha and Zooble and idk what it is but I do feel like Pomni is going to have a dispute with him. (This is not hate to jax btw)
Jax is definitely a little bit of an asshole but other than Gangle he clearly knows these mfs really well, ig he just likes to mess with people as effectively as possible but whatever.
He also wanted Ragatha to crash out btw idk why anybody got anything else from that scene he was clearly amused and messes with her all the time for that purpose. He was playing in her face that entire episode.
Also btw Gangle didn't say that she thought ragatha was a bad/fake person. Jax also did not say that. They both said that her positivity is hard to take seriously because she acts overly cheerful everyday . It's like Pomni when she 1st arrived, they are kinda annoyed in a way idk.
She isn't evil because of that. Neither of them said she was being malicious. There is a huge difference between what she's doing and manipulative behavior . It's not exactly the best behavior tho don't get me wrong.
Also, Jax is chronically online and a big ol nerd . He doesn't like slice of life anime bcs it's boring and "embarrassing" which implies that he watches other genres of anime. He also made a reference to breaking bad and to me when someone can make references like that it means they are a nerd through and through. He also acts in a very theatrical way. Like all the time, he speaks acts and moves in a very over the top fashion
And to Segway into my next point, he knows way too much about Zooble being gay + the less negative stereotypes of it(the batista and tattoo artist combo)
Jax is ALWAYS clocking Zoobles tea about them being gay, and idk maybe it's just the fact that Zooble is they/them (if their not please tell me bcs im actually getting confused about that) but it's so weird that he has so managed accurate jokes locked and loaded😭😭
"And Zooble turns straight." A funny ass joke but why does he know that Zooble is gay in the 1st place😭
Zooble only expressed disliking their body to Caine, and it is a reoccurring issue, but Gangle and ragatha don't seem like they know anything about it. So it's not like Jax knows it's because of that😭
He also says " Wait You're giving away parts now" and like idk it just seems as if he really gaf in that moment chat😭 like I swear he clearly has some kind of messed up affection for them both.
Also I would like to articulate that Zoobles problem with Jax is more about how he is as a person, but whatever tf is going on with ragatha is some deep shit. Cause Zooble stays on his NECK all the time. But ragatha is..... yoh honestly their dynamic gives me stress
Ragatha might have a uncomfortable and complicated relationship with him but Zooble certainly does NOT 😭 they don't gaf 💀
Zooble is like the only person who seems to be viewing jax from a very objective standpoint, so I have a feeling that if Pomni spends time with Zooble in the next episode she might not like Jax as much .
Zooble is actually the only person Pomni has had basically no interactions with so it's a possibility that the next episode is going to either be about Ragatha or Zooble and Pomni. Honestly I want another Zooble episode bcs they're cool as hell
It also could be an episode where we learn more about jax / his relationship with the others bcs so far the only episode Jax wasn't a main character in was episode 3 so he's clearly important.
Overall at this point I'm just wary of jax but really interested in him. He is definitely a complicated dude

having Rey be "a nobody born of nobodies" puts her right where Anakin was at the chronological start of his story. and I think that's the best for her from a character/writing standpoint, because people tend to forget that the character makes the name impressive, not the other way around. if she's "secretly a Skywalker" now she has all this baggage to lug around and a bigass sign floating over her head that says "You Must Be This Tall To Be A Skywalker" because if for some mad reason you're watching these things in order you've got about six-ish movies of Skywalkers doing Shadow Wizard Money Gang shit and you're going from that to a Sandy Girl. being a Skywalker is the last thing this kid needs, because how in the fuck could she live up to that in all of three acts?
evidence: Ben Solo
like absolutely keep Rey as a Force User, but make her one in her own right. you need a reason why? It Is The Will Of The Force. that's your reason. because The Force is all things- not just the Jedi and the Sith and anyone else who can do psychic party tricks- and damn near every problem in this entire series was brought on by some nerd trying to impose their opinion of how things should be on everyone else; the First Order, the Empire, the Sith, hell even the Senate and the Jedi were causing problems that boiled down to ego, "my way or the highway" mentality. the Jedi learn that there's a "Chosen One" who will bring "Balance" to the Force, and they automatically assume that their "say goodbye to your family kid, it's not child abduction if we convince them to give you away so you can join our cult spiritual order and do sick tricks with your mind but if you have Bad Vibes™ we will kill you uwu" horseshit was obviously how everything was supposed to be. and how'd that shake out?
Order 66, two sith, two jedi. there's your fuckin' balance, fuck you.
why does Luke's lightsaber call out to Rey? well it didn't, it's just an object. but lightsabers and Force Users go together like peanut butter and jelly, and Rey's one of those things, so the Force is like "fuck it, Luke's clearly not using this so let's make some sammiches". like the Force doesn't have a mind, I don't think, but it certainly has a will or at least a sort of homeostasis to it that tries to level things out when they get all tipsy
I genuinely believe that the new SW trilogy wouldn’t have flopped out into irrelevance like it did if they hadn’t dumped Finn on the side of the freeway like a new pet rabbit the week after easter

Do you think it’s possible that J. K. Rowling had a different plan for book 7 and then changed it ? The hallows just seemed to come out of nowhere and generally, she does set up things in advance. And the book just feels very weird pacing wise.
I agree regarding the pacing, and I talked about it more here.
As for why it happened, I can only speculate since I don't really know what she was thinking. And I think a lot of elements in book 7 were planned. What the horcruxes are and the horcruxes in general were set up already in HBP (and earlier to a degree), Regulus' story was planned, and I think some aspects of the Hallows were planned. I think she had the idea for them, but perhaps that idea was a little different from what came out on the page in the final version.
She has stated in interviews that a lot of the information about the Hallows was supposed to get to the gang, not via Xenophilius Lovegood, but by Florean Fortescue (ice cream parlor guy), fro example, who for some reason, was a more major character:
Florean is a descendant of Dexter, and I originally planned Florean to be the conduit for clues that I needed to give Harry during his quest for the Hallows, which is why I established an acquaintance fairly early on. At this stage, I imagined the historically-minded Florean might have a smattering of information on matters as diverse as the Elder Wand and the diadem of Ravenclaw, the information having been passed down in the Fortescue family from their august ancestor. As I worked my way nearer to the point where such information would become necessary, I caused Florean to be kidnapped, intending him to be found or rescued by Harry and his friends. The problem was that when I came to write the key parts of Deathly Hallows I decided that Phineas Nigellus Black was a much more satisfactory means of conveying clues. Florean’s information on the diadem also felt redundant, as I could give the reader everything he or she needed by interviewing the Grey Lady. All in all, I seemed to have had him kidnapped and killed for no reason. He is not the first wizard whom Voldemort murdered because he knew too much (or too little), but he is the only one I feel guilty about, because it was all my fault.
(Source)
So, the Hallows, I think, in concept were planned when she wrote book 6 or 5 maybe, but something about how she went about them changed along the way.
I think most of the camping trip wasn't planned, and I think she did, initially, plan the Horcrux Hunt to be more like what we see at the end of HBP (why else introduce the possibility?), but decided against it for reasons I do not know. The final battle, I think, was also changed from her original plan. I think a lot of the wand lore she made up around the Elder Wand was her realising she did an oopsie in the planning and didn't want Harry to actively kill Voldemort, and it was a good enough "out" so her main hero won't have to cast the Killing Curse (which the book almost leans into, Harry casts the Imperius, then a Cruciatus, only one Unforgivable remains after).
I also think she wasn't particularly interested in writing the war or Harry's story in general. I talked about this before, but DH feels to me like JKR was rushing to the finish line because she wanted to be done with it. She probably felt like she wanted to move on. And, as for the war, she doesn't write war, particularly well, especially in DH. I don't think she was very interested in the politics and war she introduced and tried to hand-wave them away because it's not what she wanted to write.
I think the books weren't meant, initially, to have as much magical politics as they do. I think she ended up writing herself into it by accident. And the camping trip in DH, the way it's written, almost feels like how she wrote herself out of writing Quidditch every other book (JKR is on record for saying she doesn’t like writing Quidditch and trying to excuse not writing it). So, like the Triwizard Tournament cancelling Quidditch, I think the Horcrux Hunt was a good way to not actually write the war and politics too much. She gives a taste of it, but not to the degree Neville, Luna, Ginny, or even Dean were experiencing. So, I think that's an element to it.
Now, do I think book 7 is the least consistent book in the series? Yes. But DH is in a unique spot where its lows are very low, but its highs are very high — so I can't help but love sections of it and ideas from it. I love the Deathly Hallows as a concept and wish it was just set up better (and not contradict the established wand lore). But, from the above quotes from her, I think it's clear book 7 has changed from her initial plans.
She also stated she killed Remus and Tonks since she left Arthur alive in book 5:
Tumblr media
(Source)
But she decided on that change in OotP.
We also know Dean Thomas had a whole scraped plot line:
Dean is from what he always thought was a pure Muggle background. He has been raised by his mother and his stepfather; his father walked out on the family when Dean was very young. He has a very happy home life, with a number of half-brothers and sisters. Naturally when the letter came from Hogwarts Dean's mother wondered whether his father might have been a wizard, but nobody has ever discovered the truth: that Dean's father, who had never told his wife what he was because he wanted to protect her, got himself killed by Death Eaters when he refused to join them. The projected story had Dean discovering all this during his school career. I suppose in some ways I sacrificed Dean's voyage of discovery for Neville's, which is more important to the central plot.
(Source)
This plot line was scrapped due to pacing in Chamber of Secrets (though she alluded to it with a line in DH).
So, we know her plans changed, but her plans changed throughout the whole book series, so it's hard to say if more or less changed in book 7 than any other book... I think DH's disjointed feel (besides being influenced by the movies) has more to do with the kind of changes she made and when she decided on them. I think book 7 was more her trying to rein the series back to where she originally envisioned it going after books 4-6 strayed from that initial plan to a degree. At least, that's my guess, since I'm not a mind reader.

Love and Deepspace boys on vacation with you.
Tumblr media
Info : 1.1k+ word count (about 300 per part), pure fluff.
Notes : I'm trying to go back to writing now that summer started but I have no ideas ^^, I will slowly go back to posting though!
Tumblr media
Rafayel 
Likes to spend time with you in meaningful ways, so some days the two of you stay inside his studio, perhaps painting together or doing some silly crafts together, and other days he takes you out on a trip somewhere pretty. With him, vacation is never boring, no matter how short or long it is.
The two of you probably visit all the galleries and art sites available if you go on vacation somewhere abroad. Rafayel loves art so it was a no-brainer that he would want to see art from other parts of the world as well. If you are not someone who likes museums though then don’t worry, afterwards he can take you somewhere more fun!
Beach days with him are frequent, he literally lives on an island so the two of you have easy access but also even if you are abroad and it’s possible, he asks you to go to the beach. Rafayel looovess swimming so if you are up for it then of course he wants to do so with you, if you prefer to tan or stay on land then it’s okay as well, the two of you can build sandcastles together! Also, he’s like extremely prepared for beach days. I'm talking about having a full bag prepared and snacks always stocked kind of prepared. You didn’t even know you were going to go to the beach that day but somehow he still had all the stuff with him.
He always takes pictures! Rafayel liked to capture your happy memories together, so you never really need to worry about whether or not you will have a souvenir from your vacation since he always takes photos, sometimes you don’t even notice it! Most of the photos are of you and the views, which he then uses for inspiration for his paintings.
Zayne
He rarely gets vacation but when he does, of course he wants to spend it as best as he can but I don’t think the two of you would travel far, perhaps to the beach max. Most of your holidays are spent catching up with each other and spending quality time as well as doing domestic things such as cooking together.
When the two of you do go to the beach though, he goes full doctor mode - he applies sunscreen on you, makes sure you won’t tan when the sun is at its highest, keeps you under the umbrella when possible, gives you cold drinks, the whole works. Zayne will however chill out a little when you ask him, since he was supposed to be relaxing and not fussing over you and he might even join you for a swim.
Zaynes favourite part of the day is waking up next to you because for once, the both of you can sleep in and since he usually wakes up earlier than you, it means he gets to watch you sleep and he swears he can melt at the sight of you sleeping so peacefully. 
No matter where the two of you go, he seems to have everything planned out and figured out already, even if he claims he didn’t prepare beforehand (he always does because he doesn’t want you to worry about getting lost). He carries everything with him as well, from snacks, to medical supplies, to even a change of shoes for you in case your current ones won’t fit well. He is happy to carry all the souvenirs you buy as well.
Xavier
Captain Jenna at this point expects that you both will put your time off request at the same time, at first she was annoyed at it because two of her best employees were gone during the same time but she came to understand that at least that way the two of you can spent the whole day together, so she approves it anyways. Xavier has a lot of unused vacation days so it’s never a problem if you want to go somewhere, even if it’s for a longer time.
You probably go somewhere nearby, not too far from Linkon. Xavier wants to experience new things, but also long rides easily cause him to get sleepy and he doesn’t want to miss out on the time the two of you have together. Somehow, the destinations he picks all turn out amazing and you are not even sure how he knows those spots.
Street food is the main part of your vacation - both of you want to experience the culture, no matter where you are, and the best way is through food to taste all those different flavours and new dishes. Later on, you try to find some entertainment like arcades or whatever is in the area, then at the end of the night it’s usually stargazing at a pretty spot before going back to your hotel.
Xavier somehow doesn’t get lost, even if he doesn’t know the place and isn’t familiar with the map. He also gets along with the locals well and has no issue asking for directions when needed. I do think that he naturally walks fast because of being a hunter but if you need breaks then he doesn’t mind.
Sylus
The type to take you on an expensive vacation abroad, but then spend most of the time doing domestic and simple things, you still love it though. He can take you wherever you want in the world whenever you want since he has private transport and he always takes care of any hotels, so you literally have no reason to worry during your time together.
The days are often slow and relaxing. Sometimes you spend it in the hotel together, perhaps reading or just catching up on whatever was going on in your lifes. Other times it’s spa when the hotel offers it, he gets you beauty treatments as well if you want those. But when the two of you do go out, it’s very fun and exciting. Sylus knows all the best restaurants around and reserves a table for the two of you, he also has some nice spots planned and knows when to go so there would be less people around.
He loves to take you shopping. Souvenirs, clothes, whatever it is you want he will get them for you, it’s no issues since he has money and if you try to talk to him about it then he just says that it’s your vacation and you deserve to be spoiled so you don’t need to worry.
Sylus knows many languages and he likes to use them, which means that he takes care of talking with others. He also loves to experience the different cultures so you often wander through the main streets, try the street food, listen to the local music and see what’s popular in the area, as well as learn the history of the place.

Of all the girls in Danganronpa girls I think the most openly affectionate with her boyfriend would absolutely be Akane~
she doesn't give a damn about PDA in fact she found that she liked it and is very casual about giving and receiving love especially with giving it. So you can guess that in private she is an absolute cuddle bug, unfortunately in summer that's actually a detrement due to how hot it is and of course Akane doesn't care cause she wants to cuddle and doesn't even see the heat as a big deal due to the fact of growing up with air conditioning being non-existent in her poor environment in which her and her siblings grew up in.
Akane owari being clingy during summer
A/n:my first summer post......and I'm posting it on literally the last day of June, well better late than never and feel free to request more for summer
Tumblr media
Akane is really clingy. She loves hugging you, kissing you, and literally clinging onto you whenever she can, in private and in public too, who cares if someone sees, in fact it's better that way cause then everyone knows you're together
You usually enjoy her clinginess sure her hugs are very tight and can last for many minutes, but it's just because she's very strong plus they feel nice and warm so it's not really a problem
The only time when that actually starts to bother you and becomes a bit of a problem is during summer cause akane is just as clingy and cuddly as she is at any other time of the year and she doesn't see a single problem with it
No matter how many degrees there are, she's still gonna hug you and demand cuddle like you're not sweating bullets already, not to say the constant affection is bad its just.....a lot to handle when you're already burning from the heat
What makes it even worse is that she still constantly works out and exercises, which makes her even more sweaty but she genuinely seems immune to it or the heat and will still ask to cuddle like nothing
However she does really like to eat ice cream or popsicles while cuddling and so she gives you the cold food as a thanks for agreeing to cuddle
If you complain about how hot it is and refuse her cuddles she'll lightly tease you for not being able to resist a bit of heat and will continue asking until you say yes
"Come on y/n you serious? A little bit of sun is gonna stop ya from cuddling with your girlfriend?"
"It's just really hot akane, I'm already so sweaty, I don't want to, I don't know why you want to cuddle with all this heat"
"Cause I really love you and wanna be close to you, come on please, it won't be for much"
".......fine, you're lucky I love you"

Trapped ch2
[smut! Look away!]
Whoever said lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice is in fact a liar. Blake Belladonna found herself opening her eyes from her old Beacon bed once again. She was unclear how long it has been since her first appearance in this pseudo familiar world, but memories came flooding back.
“Oh, this again.” She was quick on the uptake. Not only was she back in her pajamas, but felt strangely more comfortable than the last time. Whatever happened last time didn’t cause any problems after her and Jaune left. That was a plus in her book.
Speaking of Jaune, Blake looked around to see if the boy had returned like she did. She found no knight waiting this time. Instead, a reaper sat on her bed in pajamas while double fisting two sandwiches.
“Ruby?” Blake blinked twice, genuinely surprised to see her leader.
“Hey, sleepy head…” Ruby said slowly, dragging out each word. “So uh, this place is weird. Kinda reminds me of Jinn.”
“Oh yeah. Never really thought of that. How long have you been hanging around?”
“Not long. Maybe five minutes. Tried to wake you but it wasn’t happening. Now I’m eating.”
Blake could see the girl’s hands trembling from where she sat. “Were you freaking out in those five minutes?”
“That may have happened.” She inhaled the sandwich in her left hand. “There’s an interesting sign on the door.”
Blake turned her head and once again read it aloud. “Requirements unfulfilled. Achieve Ruby’s satisfaction and calmness.” How interesting. The objective had nothing to do with Blake specifically this time.
“Weird sign, right?” Ruby chuckled awkwardly. “Hehe, it's almost like this place is like those spaces found in naughty manga.”
“That’s exactly what this is.”
Blake watched her leader go nonverbal as her nostrils flared from a deep breath. Ruby slowly inhaled the second sandwich. It was clear to Blake the girl was stress eating from refusing what she knew to be the truth.
“Cool.” Ruby finally said after a couple minutes. “Why not? The rest of my life should make this feel normal.”
“So I can see you still need a second.”
“How are you so calm about this!?” Ruby blurted out. “I get you’re cool, but this cool!?”
“It’s my second time here.”
“You’re what!!? Who was here last time!?”
“I…don’t think that’s my business to tell.” No need to make the rabbit hole deeper than it was getting. “From what I can tell, you lose your memories after leaving, but gain it all back if you return. You definitely would’ve known about this place otherwise.”
“Because I would’ve remembered, or because you would’ve told me?”
“Yes and probably. I don’t see it staying a secret.” Jaune definitely would’ve acted off and frankly, Blake knew she wouldn’t be better. “And before you ask, there’s no other way out.”
“Yeah, I know.” Ruby jumped down to the floor.” I was kicking and yanking the door like a psycho. You’re a very heavy sleeper.”
“Or the room thought you should get that all out of your system in private? I wouldn’t be surprised. What kind of sandwich were those?”
“I don’t know. A mix of beef and turkey I think? The cheese was definitely cheddar.”
“I didn’t eat one last time but I definitely smelled tuna before.”
“So what? We want for nothing here? Ya know, except for escaping?” Ruby tapped her foot anxiously.
Blake was starting to sense a pattern. “First Jaune, and now Ruby. It could’ve been any combination of our group, but I’m here again for another first time experience. If this room considers who’s in it, am I the best choice to help them get used to this?”
Thinking about it, Blake couldn’t see anyone else taking this well enough while handling two of the most anxious people in the group. Anyone else might come off too strong or out of their depth.
“Ruby, it’s okay. We’re gonna get through this. I promise. Take a breath, then take a seat right next to me.
The silver eyed warrior does exactly that. After a slow and measured breath that raises her shoulder, Ruby exhales like a deflating balloon before taking a seat to Blake’s right.
“Sorry.”
“It’s alright. You’re nervous. I take it Yang’s never really talked to you about this stuff, has she?”
“Nope. Not that she wouldn’t. It uhh, always felt embarrassing for me. I’ve read some intriguing books.” Ruby blushed deeply. “I’ve even done some self exploration whenever I could find the time. Not as much as I would’ve liked though.”
“Yeah, finding privacy isn’t the easiest. You could’ve told me. I will cover for you.”
“R-Really?”
Blake smiled and gave a nod. “Of course! Everyone needs to take the edge off from time to time. Trust me, you wouldn’t be the only one. So, I take it you like girls if I’m here?”
“To be honest, I’m a little surprised to see you.”
“Oh?” Blake’s head tilted.
“Not that you aren’t beautiful or anything! You definitely are! I actually really don’t care, all things considered. It’s more about a vibe for me. If that makes any sort of sense.”
“Hahaha! Ruby, that makes total sense.” Blake wished they were having this conversation outside of this place. “You have yourself figured out more than you know. That’s good.”
“Ya think so?” Hearing that took a little weight off Ruby's shoulders. “Thanks. It never stressed me out but I definitely haven’t put in the time to sort it all out. Maybe that’s why I’m so anxious? Feels like I'm going in the deep end.”
Her hands were still fidgeting. The warm and soft feeling of Blake’s hand rested on top of her knuckles, gently rubbing them for comfort.
“Don’t worry. We aren’t going as deep as you might fear. Can you get fully on the bed for me?”
Ruby nodded, scooting backwards until her legs and feet were completely on the mattress. Blake moved behind her and put one leg on each side of the girl’s body. Both arms hugged Ruby’s waist while Blake rested her chin on Ruby’s shoulder. Findings cautiously pulled up the cute night shirt on the reaper to feel her stomach directly, earning a jolt.
“Ticklish?” Blake whispered.
“A little.” Ruby squeaked. She turned her head to see her teammate looking calm and caringly into her eyes. “Can I…kiss you?” Why was her heart racing already!?
Blake leaned in and pressed her lips against Ruby’s. A certain tension must’ve subsided, because Ruby’s body trembled a little less than before. The leader had the courage to kiss Blake back. The Faunus kept her own intensity well within reason. Ruby was always an ambitious person, much like Jaune. The difference being Ruby often did find herself in the deeper end of things before realizing. It was what made her the leader after all. Her boldness was always inspiring and a guiding light, but it had its drawbacks. Not this time. Not if Blake could help it.
She pressed her tongue lightly against Ruby’s lips, seeking an initiation inside. Ruby welcomed it by opening her mouth more and greeting it with her own. She didn’t try to take the lead and instead mimicked the way Blake traced the tip of her tongue, sliding it side to side as if to inspect the area. Ruby found it interesting; pleasant even. Her body sunk more into Blake’s embrace and once again she found the courage to kiss deeper.
“Mmmm.” She moaned softly, happy when Blake matched the same effort. Like smacking happens each time their lips briefly separated before reuniting. Kissing must’ve been a spell. Ruby found herself in a light trance, slipping more and more into the state of mind. A warmth trailed up her ribs and cuffed her left breast. One squeeze was all it took to make the girl quiver and take a breath. “Aaa~”
Blake’s eyes widened. Ruby’s face was so flushed already. A pretty strong reaction from the start. “You okay?”
“Y-Yeah.” Her voice cracked. “My… nipples are really sensitive. They’ve always kinda been that way.”
Understatement of the century. Blake watched Ruby fidget, going as far to rub her thighs together after another gentle squeeze. “How have you survived wearing bras? I’ve never seen you like this.”
“Sports bras.” Ruby sighed with pleasure. “The fabric isn’t so bad. Depending on the corset, I can get away with no bra or just use pasties.”
“Huh, the more you know.” Blake placed two of her fingers between Ruby’s nipples and closed them gently. Blake was rewarded with another moan and the sight of Ruby’s back arching slowly.
“Blake~” Ruby whimpered, her hands reaching up to hold the girl behind her.
Now Blake couldn’t help but blush. She wasn’t expecting such strong reactions. Her hands gave Ruby a quick break as they left to pull up the girl’s shirt. Ruby’s boobs weren’t only soft, but perfect for her body. Looks like she is somewhere in the C range. The nipples that caused so much pleasure were pale pink in color. Not to mention stiff as of now. Blake traced Ruby’s areolas to see the response. More whimpers dribbled out from quivering lips as Ruby did her best to keep still.
“You said you’ve done some self exploring before?”
“Y-Yes.” Even talking was challenging. “This didn’t feel as crazy with my own hands though.”
“Is that right? So, you’ve never had an orgasm from doing this?” Blake’s question was meant with loud silence and red ears. All the confirmation she needed. Without a second thought, she held Ruby’s boobs fully in her hands to massage. The reaction was immediate.
The red haired girl acted like someone quickly tased her. Fingers left an impression against her skin as they pressed and separated her chest. Her legs clenched again as Blake lightly pinched both nipples. Not only that, but her mouth became infatuated with the crook of Ruby’s neck.
“Blake!” Ruby whined. The feeling of a wet and meticulous tongue running across her skin made her swoon. Blake wasn’t afraid to add a little pressure either with small bites as her nails dared to flick her nipples. “Ghaah!”
She didn’t let out. Blake kept this pace and watched Ruby melt. Each flick brought a yelp while a squeeze caused restless fidgeting. The hold Ruby had around her neck grew tighter with each passing second as Blake left marks on the girl’s pale neck. The idea came to pull on Ruby’s nipples just enough for them to bounce when Blake let go. Again and again, she pulled, watching the poor girl’s toes curl up. Blake whispered in her ears again.
“Are you close~” Blake teased.
“Y-Yes.” Ruby had never felt this hot before. “I’m really close, Blake.”
“Close to what?”
“Cumming.” Even the word brought its own pleasure. “I’m gonna cum.” Her voice was cracking again.
Blake kissed Ruby’s ear. “That’s good. I wanna see that. Let it aaallll out.”
She twisted Ruby’s nipples suddenly. The reaper’s nails dug into Blake’s clothes while her body became stunned with pleasure. Ruby could feel something in her squeeze tightly like never before, trapping her legs together and actively ruining her cotton panties. How long has she been trembling? Better yet, when would it stop? Ruby’s head couldn’t find these answers. She only knew that eventually her voice came back in the form of heavy breathing as her body rested against Blake who gently rubbed one of Ruby’s cheeks.
“Good job. You did wonderfully.”
The praise felt good, but it was third compared to the tingling between her thighs and buzzing sensation from her nipples. Ruby bit her lip. “Are we done?” She asked hesitantly.
Her body was probably laid down on Blake’s bed while the girl in question stood up to reach under her bed and pull out a box. Ruby’s eyes turned to the size of dinner plates as she saw various dildos. Some blue, others pink. One looked rather smooth and generic while another had deep grooves in a spiraling shape.
“Has that always been there?”
“I took a gamble. Looks like this place knew what I was hiding. Plus a few extra. I told you we all need to take the edge off. Don’t worry though. I meant it when I say we aren’t diving off the deep end”
Blake found what she was looking for. A small dark purple toy no longer than her own hand, and some lube for it.
“What’s that do?” Ruby asked, gaining an immediate answer when Black pressed the button of the base. The entire thing let out a low buzz as it vibrated. “Oh…”
“It’s on the lowest setting. No different than one of those cheap massage devices for shoulders. Now then, are you up for trying this? It’s okay to say no.”
A real funny thing to say while already holding a vibrating toy. She could tell Blake was being genuine though. She didn’t even seem like she wanted to use it personally.
“We’ve gone this far. I trust you. Plus… I am still pretty in the mood.” Ruby blushed.
With that said, Blake returned to bed. Only now she was at the end of it. Ruby watched bashfully as her friend removed her robe before focusing on Ruby’s pants. Her hips raised to help Blake, who had no problems removing them and slipping up pink, damp underwear. Ruby chose to ignore the smirk on Blake’s face.
“Gotta admit, I’m jealous. Wish my nipples were that sensitive.”
“I promise you don’t.” Ruby deadpanned. She watched as Blake lathered up the toy in lube. “Umm, please don’t go too deep. I’ve never actually…”
“I promise.” Blake finished. “Wasn’t planning on it. Okay, I need you to spread your legs for me; also bend your right knee.”
Despite her embarrassment, Ruby silently did what was asked of her, revealing herself completely. Flushed pink lips leaked of Ruby’s arousal. Blake also spotted just how swollen the girl’s clit had become. Her body was more than ready. A small patch or red hair rested on top of her mound. Looks like Ruby actually kept herself well groomed. Blake just noticed there wasn’t even hair on Ruby’s legs. Maybe it was genetics? As someone with a hairy father, Blake really hoped it wasn’t Ruby’s genetics. Sensitive nipples and less shaving would be so unfair.
“Umm, you’re staring a lot.” Ruby chirped.
“Hmm? Oh, my bad.” Blake smiled sheepishly. She refocused her attention.
Ruby couldn’t see Blake’s movements perfectly, but she could watch a hand move closer. Vibrations on the bed grew closer and closer until the toy pressed against her slit. Another gasp faintly left Ruby’s lips. Slowly, the toy slid up and along her, barely touching her clit but making its presence known before hanging around the entrance of her body. No more than an inch was put in to let Ruby feel its power; the constant movement that alerted her senses and caused her eyes to flicker. The focus on Blake’s face was captivating. Their eyes locked as Blake laid down with her head between Ruby’s thighs. Not a word was spoken. Blake’s left arm snuck under Ruby’s bent knee before her hand held a hip for leverage. That same tongue that asked for an invitation and caused a red mark on Ruby’s neck, now took the pleasure in exploring another new area as Blake kissed another pair of lips.
Ruby’s jaw went slack. Only gasps flew out as she felt her clit become captured in bliss. The toy pushed in a little again before leaving, maintaining its position right at the entrance as it drew out more desire for Blake to taste. Fingers held onto the sheets for dear life. Ruby couldn’t look away from the alluring sight of Blake’s eyes staring back as she dined. The pleasure would’ve made Ruby’s hips pull away, but they are trapped in place now, leaving Ruby to endure every tongue lash of the girl who made sure to slurp up every drop.
“Bl-ake. This is…wow.” Her chest was rising high and falling low.
She felt her clit get sucked harder, making her teeth sink into her bottom lip. Ruby had to close her eyes for her own sanity, but that made the experience feel so much more intense. Where would Blake strike next? Ruby was always wrong, and she was happy about it every time “Aaa~ Aaaaagnh!”
Blake knew she could hold this position well past Ruby’s breaking point, but that wouldn’t be fun. The toy was nice and she genuinely believed Ruby could handle an extra inch; yet that didn’t interest Blake much. What did draw her in was Ruby herself. The taste her leader had might as well be nectar. Not only was there a subtle sweetness thanks to her natural scent, but also a creaminess that coated Blake’s tongue and felt right when it went down her throat. A little self indulgence is fine, right? Ruby didn’t seem to mind going with the flow.
Succumbing to her own ideas, Blake pulled the dildo out of Ruby. Now that her right hand gained its freedom again, it mimicked the left in bending Ruby’s left leg before slipping under the girl’s knee and grabbing her waist.
Ruby couldn’t form a thought quick enough as she felt her waist get lifted off the bed slightly. The vibrations she had been powering through was replaced by the ravenous tongue she was quickly becoming fond of. It dared to borrow deeper than the toy and be twice as unruly.
“AAAAAAAHHHHH!”
Yeah, Ruby didn’t mind at all. Blake happily indulged in the stronger, more addictive taste. She didn’t care at all how tightly the walls around her squeezed. She wasn’t giving up this flavor until it was spilling out. Dripping down her chin wasn’t enough.
“So much for impulse control.” Blake chastised herself. Not enough to feel bad about it though. She turned her gaze upward to check on Ruby. Poor girl was redder than her favorite cloak and had her eyes shut tightly. One hand remained an anchor of stability by clutching the sheets while the other gave into stimulation by playing with her left tit. “Hehehe~”
Blake let her mind wander off. No Bneed to change positions anymore. She wanted Ruby cumming just like this; deep in the throes of pleasure and excitement. It wasn’t gonna take long at all.
Ruby panted as if she was Ty on the final stretch of a marathon. The pressure underneath her navel grew more intensely while inside became so hot she could feel the warmth spread. It was impossible not to know exactly where Blake’s tongue was. Its motions became frustratingly slow and more dramatic. It pushed up on the roof before dragging itself in a dreadfully long circle around its surroundings. Tears began welling up in Ruby’s eyes as the tip returned to the starting point, pushing up again as it took its time curling its way out; maintaining the pressure all the way until it found a nice, evil little spot where it could disturb her clit from the inside. Just like that, Ruby found and lost her voice all at once.
“BLAKE!!” She howled. The tongue finally left, flicking her clit abruptly on the way out.
The older woman watched Ruby’s spoiled flower convulse, its nectar squirting out onto the sheets and Blake’s body while the girl shook like she was possessed. She couldn’t hide her personal satisfaction in watching her work bear fruit. It might be vain to think, but in her opinion, she couldn’t think of a time Ruby looked prettier than right now. Blake got on all fours right over Ruby and gently kissed her flushed face all over while she went through the waves of the orgasm. Ruby tried to hide her face but it was no use.
“You okay?” Blake hummed
“Th- ungh.” She stammered repeatedly. “I- that was….crazy. Really crazy.” Ruby finally said after finding her voice again. Her body was still trembling uncontrollably.
“If I didn’t know any better, I would think you're freezing.”
“Shut uuuup!” Ruby groaned, attempting to hide a smile from Blake’s smug face. “I didn’t know orgasms could get that intense!”
“I did give you plenty of foreplay. Not to mention you were sensitive already. Let’s not forget, lots of new experiences for you today.”
“Trying to downplay your achievements now?”
“Nope. Giving you notes is all.” Blake was riding a wonderful high right now. Something about giving that kind of pleasure was deeply gratifying.
“It’s not like I’m taking that advice out of here. Although- wait, nah. I don’t wanna think about what could happen if I show up here again!”
Neither said it, but the likelihood of returning felt very real. Blake wasn’t going to worry about that right now though. She turned her attention to the exit. Blake would be lying if she said she wasn’t expecting a bright green light. To her surprise, once again, it was only half green!
“What the-” Her head turned back to her still recovering leader. Flushed skin, damp thighs, and ruined sheets. How was this not calm and satisfied!? The requirements said nothing about her personality, so what was going on!?
“Ruby? Would you say you’re pretty calm and satisfied right about now?”
“I am pretty sure I have experienced three moments of immense clarity here, yes.”
“Well I need you to keep that clarity as I tell you the door isn’t unlocked.”
“Why would it be?” Ruby said lazily. “You have had a single orgasm this entire time.”
“I know, but the requirements didn’t say anything about me.”
Finding the willpower, Ruby sat up and looked her dumbfounded friend in the face. “Blake, I like to think we know each other incredibly well.”
“I…do too?” Blake said. She could feel the judgment coming from Ruby.
“Okay, so do I look like the type of person who would walk out of here without you feeling good?”
In hindsight, this was Blake’s fault. She had forgotten who she was dealing with. Deep end or not, Ruby was always going to try her best in all aspects. Blake was almost speechless.
“The love of your life is gonna be one lucky person.” Blake said with utter amazement.
“Huh? Not exactly the response I was expecting. Thank you though!” Ruby grinned. “Soooo, I’ll follow your lead. What are you up for?”
“Frankly I didn’t think this far in advance.” Blake admitted. As willing as Ruby was, it was easy to see the exhaustion her body had. No way her legs were moving any time soon. “Lay down. I have an idea.”
“Roger that!” Ruby flopped back down on the pillow.
“Hehe, we can take a break.”
“Nah, I’m good. I really can’t believe you didn’t want a turn. You even took off your clothes.”
“It’s not like I didn't. It just wasn’t at the forefront of my mind. I opened my eyes to you freaking out. I know my priorities.” She slipped off her underwear.
“Okay, fair enough.” Ruby had mildly forgotten about her stress eating earlier. “I’m better now! This has been fun. I might not be as good as you but I’d like to try and-”
Her view of the bed above them became blocked by toned abs and boobs that might as well be mountains from this perspective. Blake’s knees rested on each side of Ruby’s head, and if the reaper dared to let her eyes drift down, she’d be faced with lush pink lips surrounded by short silky black hair. Slender fingers ran through Ruby’s hair, tugging gently to pull her head back to see Blake staring down at her. To say Blake looked gorgeous from this angle would be an understatement. Ruby was in awe.
“I don’t think it’s said enough how pretty you are.” Ruby said, blushing wildly again.
Blake let out a soft giggle. Honestly, sometimes Ruby was so adorable without even trying. “Thanks. Now then, tap my leg three times if you need air. Got it?”
“Yeah, sure thing.” Her words drifted. Ruby already brought her hands up to hold Blake’s hips, eagerly pulling the woman down until she properly sat down.
Blake’s cat ears twitched. She didn’t expect Ruby to immediately get work. Her tongue was ambitious yet careful. Blake felt it trace the outline of her folds before slithering down the middle. She used her grip on Ruby’s hair to hold both of them steady as Blake began to ride her leader’s face properly to help. Blake was making sure to be extra careful but Ruby seemed to have other plans. Cat ears twitched again thanks to Ruby pulling Blake’s body further down, really allowing Ruby’s tongue to bury itself.
Even Blake couldn’t help but sigh blissfully. She could tell the girl was trying to imitate a few moves. Ruby wasn’t half bad. Blake continued rocking her hips.
“I can’t help but feel like you’re trying to get a little revenge on me.” Blake teased. Her body was slowly but surely getting into it. “Go counter clockwise. I like that.”
Ruby did as she was told, switching directions and paying close attention to how the walls around her flinched. There were brief moments Blake’s grip on her hair tightened, or thighs tensed. Ruby recalled silly little tips about spelling letters with your tongue could help find weak spots. Might as well give it a shot. A pity victory from Blake was out of the question.
“A, B, C, D, E, F, G-”
“Nngh~” Blake hunched forward.
“And we have a winner!” Ruby repeats the letter slowly, feeling Blake’s body respond with a stronger taste to drink. She wasn’t kidding about going counter clockwise. Ruby reaffirmed her grip on Blake’s hips. Good thing too. Blake started being active in her riding. “Looks like she likes it. That’s a relief.”
Blake braced herself with her right hand pressing against the wall as she leaned forward to ride faster. Fingers dragged down her hips and moved to hold her ass tightly. This was so much better than that toy she grabbed earlier. With the way Ruby’s tongue nearly slips out before sliding back in with each arch of Blake’s back, Blake might as well have been riding a dick. She allowed herself to shut her eyes and just enjoy the feeling of getting eaten so eagerly. Ruby wasn’t tapping out, so Blake wasn’t going to think twice about this ride.
“You’re doing such a good job.” She panted, grinding Ruby’s tongue in a specific spot until the girl actively played with it. “Uunngh, yeah. Right there, Ruby~”
It was so strange hearing her name with such desire. Ruby never thought too hard about her future love life, but between this and Blake’s comment earlier, it was hard not to think about it! There were a few people that came to mind, and the idea that they might moan her name like this was a danger to her own heart.
“Maybe I do want to come back here?”
Her internal conflict continued, but it never distracted her enough to leave Blake unsatisfied. Probably because she was doing part of the work by moving her own hips. Ruby wasn’t sure how long she’s been underneath Blake, but she really didn’t care. She found time to breathe through her nose each time she licked upwards, and the weight on her felt calming. The taste of the Belladonna freedom fighter was rather subtle and not that different from filtered water going down Ruby’s throat. In truth, if Blake wanted to sit here for a while, Ruby couldn’t find a reason to complain yet. Her tongue might get tired, but that’s a pretty fair trade off for this stunning view.
“Ruby, just a little longer. Okay?” Blake’s heads up was responded with hands pulling her down again. “Haha, oh you’re so cute~”
The sultriness in Blake’s voice might as well be honey for the ears. Ruby continued using her winning strategy. Each G that was carved with her tongue brought Blake’s ass sitting with a little more pressure after every buck of her hips until it remained planted, now squirming side to side. A twinge of pain came from Ruby’s scalp as Blake’s grip on her hair started matching the intensity of her walls, but it was okay. Ruby focused on her friend’s pleasure all the way until thighs squished the sides of her head and her mouth finally had Blake dripping down the corners of it.
“Fuck! Ruby~” Blake gasped, feeling her orgasm take her at least. “Ruby!!!!”
Yeah, she would definitely be interested in hearing her name like this a few more times. Ruby watched Blake’s climax closely. Her stomach was tensing up a lot along with her triceps. She didn’t look nearly as wrecked as when Ruby felt her own orgasm. As expected, and probably for the best. While it would be awesome to be a natural at this, Ruby feared her head would be in jeopardy if she pulled off that miracle. Blake still had the strength to remove herself, giving Ruby back the ability to breathe normally. Never has fresh air felt so good yet so disappointing. She didn’t even realize how heavy her own breathing was at first. Ruby looked over to see Blake’s flushed, glowing face as she let her body recover.
“S-So…a passing grade?” Ruby asked genuinely. Blake only rolled her eyes and smiled before bending down and giving a kiss that wasn’t shy at all about getting a taste of itself. As if Ruby didn’t have more reasons to blush.
Blake sat back up, poking the girl in the forehead. “Solid B+ with an A for effort.”
“Hell yeah. Honor Roll.” Ruby let her body go limp in satisfaction.
“Haha! Ruby, never change.” Blake looked over to see a fully green sign, then joined Ruby in laying down. “Final lesson, after care. I have a feeling you’ll be great at it.”
Ruby didn’t even get to ask what Blake meant before an arm was placed over her body to pull her in to cuddle. Ruby grinned at the resting face on her shoulder before closing her own eyes. Blake was absolutely correct. She was a pro at this part! Tried and true!

Randomly got this idea from all the stuff I see from tiktok. yearning. So I hope you enjoy my yapping!
Yearning With SBG Main Six
Ashlyn:
Subtle "favoritism" in the group: As we know Ashlyn tends to even with the group just not as much now avoids people and any form of physical contact if the amount of times she looked like she wanted to send Aiden through a wall for touching her is anything to go based on. Her yearning would be her not avoiding said person and choosing to be with them in quiet moments. She wouldn't talk or attempt any form of conversation, but she would sit slightly closer to them then she would with the others and she tole4ates simple physical touch from them.
Protection through actions, not words: as stated by red Ashlyn is more then willing to stand up for herself if necessary and this willingness to protect herself also turns into her very quickly and willingly standing up for who she's yearning for. She doesn't ask if they need her help or anything instead she'd put herself in between them and the threat. Or if she finds out about a problem there experiencing she'd take care of it without telling or asking them.
A hint of softening of her normal demeanor: Ashlyn's default emotion and description is cold and deadpan stuff like that. Though her yearning causes her to be unusually soft around that person. It's not very noticeable, but it's there. Through the way her eyes linger a little to long, when her brows furrow in concern rather then annoyance. Ashlyn would even be less mean wanting to make them happy so she's less blunt and actually sugar coats stuff a bit.
Remembering small details about them, but never bringing it up: Ashlyns very observant and one of her tell tale yearning signs is when she observes them a lot, remembering every detail she can. She never tells them she remembered these tiny details or ever bring them up, but if they pay attention to certain actions she does they'd find out pretty quick how much she pays attention. Like how she just so happens to have something they like such as a favorite snack or drink.
Aiden:
Constantly giving gifts including ill-fitting ones: Aiden honestly doesn't really care about money cause he's rich rich this means if he sees a something cool/flashy that reminds him of you or himself he will buy it for you. It doesn't matter whether or not you'd like it or even want it he can and will buy it for you. Think like a gigantic spider man hello kitty plushie because well one why not and two he's spider man. Or like something extremely spicy when you can't handle heat. He wants to be someone you think about a lot.
Boldly inviting himself into someone's personal space/activities: As shown multiple times Aiden and personal boundaries/space for the most part do not mix. This means Aiden would not hesitate to invite himself to join you when you clearly want to be alone or enjoy some quiet. He also 101% shows up unannounced at your house or somewhere you told him you'd be. His reasoning if questioned would be "I was bored, so I want to annoy you!" or "figured you could use my irresistible very charming company!" And no he doesn't care whether or not you wanted him there.
Attempting to show loyalty through reckless, unnecessary acts: Aiden is Aiden so he's gonna be hella reckless for literally no reason. If he decides that your having a small issue with someone or are in slight trouble he can and will very impulsively may I add jump in on your defense in a very dumb way. This includes him doing stuff like doing some dumb risky stunt to prove that he's devoted to you or he'd confronting someone he suspected of being mean to you the rudest way he can. He does this stuff in hopes that it'll catch your attention or even make you admire him.
Tells a lot of personal stories and thinks you should share just as much: As we all know Aiden talks quite literally just to talk. Him yearning involves him wanting you to feel comfortable enough with him to tell him everything which means he's gonna tell you everything so you know he trusts you in hopes you start to subconsciously trust him. And when I say he tells you everything he tells you everything; personal stories, adventures, random thoughts he gets. He'll also ask you a bunch of personal questions and if you decide to answer he's actually quiet and waits for you to finish talking before he shares a story or asks another question.
Ben:
Obsessively texting/writing long unsent messages/letters: As we know Ben doesn't speak so it's kind of hard for him to express his emotions so to make up for this he'd spend hours crafting long detailed texts/journal entries about/for you. He does this to make up for all the feelings he can't verbally tell you and when I say he spends hours on them he spends HOURS on them. He fixs them, deletes them if he thinks there bad, and then rewrites them. Though you'd rarely probably never even be sent/given any of the messages or letters.
Quietly supporting them in group decisions: Ben usually just goes with whatever Aidens pick is, but when your involved it's different. Whenever the group is having any kind of discussion that involves a decision or everyone is trying to come up with a solution Ben makes sure that your opinion and ideas are heard. If you happen to hesitate to speak up or if everyone else is talking Ben would use text to speech and if that doesn't work he's more then willing to shut everyone up by hitting something. He then proceeds to make everyone focus on you so you could give your opinion or idea.
Becoming a silent presences like a shadow: Ben wouldn’t want to bother you by constantly attempting to hang out with you instead he’d almost become your shadow. Always just by coincidence be there whenever you need him. He also tends to just quietly follow you around not talking or messing with you just close enough for you to know that he’s there and listening to you. He’d just always there when you need him.
Remembering small details about them: Bens quiet very quiet he’s an observer and picks up on tiny details and facts about you; favorite drink, a random issue your having, or something you talked about needing to get. He’d silently and most of the time without you knowing acquire said item for you or even take care of your problems if he knows how. Ben doesn’t mind if you don’t know that it’s him he’d take satisfaction in knowing your happy and content now that the issue is solved.
Logan:
Obsessively replaying past social interactions between you two: As confirmed by Red Logan has social anxiety so he probably already replays past social interactions he’s had with people, but with you it’s 10x’s worse. He replays yours and his interactions multiple times picking every moment he could have said something wrong, ignored, or misstepped. This causes him to remember a lot about you and he can’t help, but want your interactions with him to go perfect.
Clinging onto small acts of kindness: If you show Logan even the tiniest action of kindness he clings into it. It is on his mind a lot and he'd try to subtly pay you back. He does this because he wants you to be kind to him and come to him for things since he always does something nice in return. He also will remember any compliment or shared moments between you two taking it as a lot more significant then it actually was. And no matter how small the act of kindness was he always seems to turn a bright red.
Subtly hovering and trying to help: Logan would constantly try to be around you when he knows your doing things like school work. He doesn't ask for your attention or anything, but if need be he offers help. For Logan it doesn't matter whether or not it's something you'd actually need help with he'll ask to help or he'd always make himself available for tasks in hope that out of everyone in the group you ask him for help. He'd offer to do things like; carry something, grab something, or just correct a mini mistake you made.
Writing detailed plans for hypothetical social scenarios: As we know Logans not really good with social interactions and well yeah Taylor helps him, but he still panics when it comes to you. He wants you to not see him as a awkward person. He writes out entire conversation he could possibly have with you and every response you could possibly have. Even if he might not use the drafts or even remember what he should say he still does it because it makes him feel slightly less awkward,
Taylor:
Excessive doting and praise: when your the person of Taylor’s affection she would suffocate you in compliments even for small actions. Such as just styling your hair slightly for the day she would go “you did a good a good job on your hair today!” Or “you’re really good at everything aren’t you?” This isn’t Taylor just being her normal sweet self. This is Taylor wanting to be a person you associate with positive feeling so you’d want to stay close to her because of the good vibes and encouragement she gives.
Subtly engineering situations to spend time together: Taylor loves being around you any chance she gets and when she can’t think of a way to ask you to hangout without it sounding weird she’d make up stuff like ‘needing help’ with something you happen to be at or ‘accidentally’ showing up somewhere she knows you’ll be or she’d just so happen to need to go the same way as you. Just to subtly manipulate the situation so she can spend more time with you.
Constant checking in and offering help: Taylor would constantly monitor you always making sure your okay. She’d constantly ask “are you okay?” Or “do you need anything?” Doesn’t matter if it’s obvious that your happy and having a good day. She just needs to constantly check in with you and if she even suspects that your lying about being fine she’d go around and ask anyone including teachers to see how your day went.
Expressing intense worry for minor issues: If you show the slightest hint of discomfort or get a small injury Taylor reacts with exaggerated worry/concern. She'd fret openly not trying to hide it for a moment. She does this in hope that you'll form an emotional bond with her to the point you'd start subconsciously going to her when you feel bad knowing she'll take care of you.
Tyler:
"Accidental" acts of service: Tyler's not the type especially in the beginning of the webtoon to openly offer help yo people. Though if he found out someone he liked was having difficulty with something, he would do small things for them. He just so happen to find an item they lost or he just so happen to deal with a minor problem for said person. He does this all while acting like he just so happen to be there and how he didn't know you were struggling or having issues with that thing/person. You did manage to catch him in the act of helping you though just grumbling to himself about how you don't care about yourself enough.
Sarcastic warning that is just concern: as we know Tyler more often then not has a tough boy attitude and can be very mean so when you attempt to do something stupid or risky Tyler would hit you with some sarcastic or exaggerated warnings/remarks. He'd say stuff like "yeah don't come crying to me when that blows up in your face" or "wow.. that's soooo smart... best idea ever.." His tone is always annoyed and snarky, but he always watches you very carefully to make sure if it does go wrong he can help you quickly. He's basically just saying be careful in a Tyler way.
Hyper vigilant protection that can come off as controlling behavior: Tyler will be very protective such as constantly watching over you to the point where he can come off as being overbearing and over protective. This is his way of ensuring your safety because he's horrified of you getting hurt in any way. Tyler would snap at someone for being mean to you and scowl at anyone he deems a threat to your safety. If you ever ask him he'll just claim he was 'annoyed' by the situation.
Tolerating their presence: For someone like like Tyler just allowing someone in his space without attempting to push them away is a very deep sign of affection. Tyler will complain about your habits and make snide remarks, but he wouldn't push you away. He always values your presence, but he wouldn't actually tell you that.

Trapped in the past aftermath
Tumblr media
(Just wanted to write a small fic about this cause I want some nice fluff for detective y/n. But for the first part of this is here.)
After the news came out that y/n was alright, heros and the batfamily came to visit but the hospital staff forced the heros to stay outside as only a limited number of them could come in as the room was a bit small for how many came to show up but not after Gordon nearly hugged so hard that it nearly crushed the cast around y/n's chest but y/n was safe now and just needed to rest but of course chief Gordon needed to go back to the station so had to leave but not without checking in every now and then when he was on his break and bringing in food y/n loves cause nurses and doctors gave permission that y/n could eat food normally. Batman was relieved as well due to the fact he was the only one to see y/n at the aftermath of who ever attacked him back at the wearhouse so seeing y/n just comfortable and safe brought Batman to eased state but now he has to find who ever did this to y/n.
The first hero outside of batman to visit y/n was the flash and also the first ever to write on the casts y/n had as y/n allowed it cause it was fun to see flash doodle a bit on the cases y/n had on and then goes on to talk about the hero stuff he did today as saving people and stoping villains to try and swoon y/n but the detective just liked to at least see flash again even if he talked y/n's ear off and added another teddy bear to the get well soon plushie collection. Wonder woman was the second as she mostly wanted to see y/n okay after hearing how beat up y/n was but was glad to see he was okay even with the cast on his arm, leg, half of his head and chest but was glad to see he was okay and had y/n talk to her mostly as she listened as she enjoyed hearing y/n's voice after such a scare like that and especially how Batman made it sound but the same as Batman, she will help in finding who did this but before she left y/n let her sign a or all his casts but she just signed his arm and indulge with a small doodle next to her small message to get well soon.
Superman was the third and was even allowed to bring krypto in surprisingly. Superman was worried seeing y/n basically covered nearly head to toe in casts but y/n said he was fine and superman had to keep krypton from jumping on the hospital bed and laying on y/n as he was krypto's favorite humans as y/n always pet and gave treats to krypto. Superman being more worried about y/n being in pain was with his x ray vision to see y/n's bones and some being screwed together and luckily y/n's ribcage was mostly not to far damaged that it was easy to bolt together but y/n ultimately had to snap superman out of his worrying spiral and reassured superman that y/n had worse injuries which just worried the man of steel more and y/n had to reassure him more.
The bat boys visited and of course all of them signed the casts and stayed the longest out of everyone that eventually the nurse and then the doctor had to come in and ask them to leave and so they did as it was basically the first week of being in the hospital after Mr delight's visit to y/n as y/n feels guilt over what y/n now think is him abandoning someone but he grew up and got a job here and y/n does worry that other villains from y/n's past might come back and be as bad or worse than mr delight but he knew that was a problem for another day and he just hopes a that maybe they won't find him at all.
(Anyways, that's it for my yapping session! Hopefully you guys like it and I'm trying to get back into writing fics again but hopefully that'll be soon! If you like this one please don't be shy and request any ideas for stories or y/n you have! Buy for now please stay safe and drink water!)

Hellooo!!
I have come because I was listening to music earlier today and a song came on that I immediately thought fit Jay in your Reboot Gone Wrong AU!! The song was "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers if ya wanna give it a listen. I just thought it fit well. :D
Gotta say,I listened to song and tunes out I listened to it before when I had stardew Valley era.
Yes,A lot of things work with lyrics of song and how it goes(especially how both part are same lyrics but with little feeling of different way it was executed vocally)
I could say that the part with “she is touch his chest now,he takes off her dress now” would definitely be opposite of Jays thinking,lyrics going all about him thinking of what is happening while the animatic would show them almost not interacting (most of their perfect match thing would be public for sake of others eyes),It could show that song goes by Jays perspective rather than the story itself.
“Swimming through sick lullabies,Chocking on your Alibis” definitely would work with scene showing Nya flirting with Cole in that infamous scene and then her trying to come up with explanation to Jay at his parents junkyard after Pixal tells about perfect match.
“but it’s just the price I pay” yes,it fits Jays self consciousness,He always tries to find problem in himself.Skybound showed how he believed something was wrong with him that strained Nya away from him(either his personify,Junkyard origin or unseriousness,his mind comes up with explanation).in some way,He just accept that idea and moves on(or does he),so basically paying price and learning lesson(or is it)
“Open up my eager eyes, ‘cause im Mr.brightside” this part in my opinion would fit him finding fatherly bond with Lou,with showing them spending time in arcade,him helping Lou with homework,monitoring him train on his powers and celebrating his achievements. And yes,He is Mr.Brightside.Despite such big chunk of his life being full for drama and woe,He found good in it,which is being Lou’s uncle
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As much as I wanted to draw all sequences I wrote about,Im quite busy and booked on things going on irl, sorry 😭😭😭😭😭😭
but I really wanted to answer to this question with something to show my appreciation ,so I got this little piece showing that Even when Cole and Nya were having wedding,Some of that jealousy was still eating Jay from inside.
I like idea that he believed in deep meaning behind his and Nyas relationship,he believed in them being made for each other,or at least being more than just a couple. He can’t understand why it’s Cole and not him,why it took him almost half year just to sure he and Nya are dating,yet It took Cole few month TO MARRY HER (actually it’s Cole and Nya rushing everything cause they are young and stupid and yk)
“How did it end up like this” of course a little denial is fitting for Jay,tho it’s literally them(him,Kai and Zane) being witnesses on their wedding,Also maybe implying how fast Cole and Nya went in their “relationship” to rush into marriage
“It was only a kiss” x 2 would be basically jay saying “yo,she didn’t like you that much,stop dreaming delusions and live your life,if you care for her and Cole,You should be happy” to himself,Convincing him that he and Nya don’t belong together
Also,thank you very much for inspiring me to draw this part of story,Sometimes I get stuck with how to follow the story,what piece of timeline to show and how to integrate changes of AU,Im happy people see associations with my story in songs/other media and Im glad for how my vision of Jay in this AU was perceived by others
Again,thank you for being interested and supporting my art!💙💙💙💙
O hope to find time to make full sheet for Lou,Im still stuck on what Animal choose for his signature animal
