[catchersupremacy]

soz if u guys arent here for this but these are MY personal grid A/B/O assignments + reasoning:

Max: alpha and i feel like i dont need to explain this one LOL

Checo: omega but i could be persuaded to see beta checo !! like take one long look into his beautiful big brown eyes n little freckles and motherly aura and tell me you dont see it ….

Charles: controversial but …. alpha. omega charles truthers i see you. i love you and hold you dearly. but to me charles is just a softer alpha u know ?? but he still has the bite too him … like hes all sharp teeth grin n you KNOW its all casual with him but you cant help but fall in love w him anyways ….

Carlos: DOUBLY controversial but I AM AN OMEGA CARLOS TRUTHER !!!! like again. look into his big brown eyes n plush lips … look at his quotes about how he was “too soft” when he was younger n just wanted to be friends w everyone … i will die on this hill

Lando: TRIPLY CONTROVERSIAL but alpha lando scratches an itch in my brain actually !! like chest puffed bravado rookie lando wanting to prove himself bc people always assumed he wasnt an alpha … now mellowed cheeky alpha lando whose gone through 2 older omega teammates (spoilers for daniel LOL) and learned a lot from them …

Oscar: alpha but i could be persuaded to see beta !! idk hes just so chill. so unbothered. people assume hes a beta bc of his attitude but hes just been raised so that he literally does not care abt designations at all

Alex: beta but i could be persuaded to others … like this one is not solid solid to me ?? but hes genuinely just so chill with everyone on the grid that hes like a stabilizing force … a calming presence u know … even though he absolutely has the capacity to be teasing n silly

Logan: omega end of sentence. look into those sad eyes and miserable aura and tell me you do not want to bundle him up. hide him away whisper sweet things to him. he would love it too the frat boy logan-ers are lying to you …

Daniel: omega LOL i mean i can see alpha danny n would not necessarily be opposed to it but his kind of mentoring of max n lando … his wide eyed curly hair braces when he came into f1 … also honey badger nickname speaks omega to me. it whispered in my ear and i saw the vision of danny stuck with angry baby alpha max n the two slowly learning how to coexist abd slowly becoming one ot the closest people ever to each other

Yuki: i actually dont have a preference LOL i mean i think the whole “shorter/smaller person is an omega” thing is a tired trope so i feel i have a little predisposed bias against omega yuki BUT i am generally open to all designations for him

Fernando: I AM ALSO AN OMEGA NANDO TRUTHER i am too hung up on his twink days w the old grid to ever really see him as anything more then a conniving little omega who absolutely kicks ass and proves the haters wrong LOL. you love to see an omega whose a little feral out there. like go forth and cause mischief or something

Lance: i wanna say omega but i could be persuaded …. like look at him. plush hair big brown eyes with fluttery lashes pouty lips. hes a little spoiled thing like hes so cat coded to me. lanky ol omega who knows what he wants

Pierre: omega !!! i dont rlly have an explanation for this one it came to me in a vision BUT i love omega pierre … pretty little bratty omega …

Esteban: beta but generally open to all interpretations !! he seems so like neutral to me … like big lanky guy whose trying his best to stand out n get his moment in the sun but gets a little overshadowed by other stronger personalities …

Lewis: alpha 100%. again hes calmed hes mellowed but this man has the calm quiet “i know im the shit. what are you going to do about it?” alpha demeanor to me. like he absolutely tore it UP when he was younger n was brash n confident (and was not the best alpha) but after the nico situation and teaming w valterri he rlly had his eyes opened and now he’s just chilling

George: alpha but i could be persuaded to other points of view … like this man was crazy n dedicated enough to powerpoint present why he should be in mercedes 😭 i think that he is deffo like hyperaware of designations/tries to do his best by everyone in the paddock tho

Kevin: omega BUT i could be persuaded for beta kevin. no real explanation again but i am once again influenced by rookie kev and also his fatherhood

Nico: alpha or beta. again no real explanation for this he just gives off cocky would-be-an-asshole-if-you-didnt-know-him-well alpha vibes but in an uncle way. like the guy who likes to tease you but goes too far sometimes and doesnt rlly apologize for it

Valterri: beta through n through 🫡 again influenced by his stint at merc where he was the perfect second driver and was also brought in to help smooth over turbulent emotions that were left from the brocedes divorce and nicos subsequent retirement. definitely grew into himself a little more post merc tho and now gives no fucks about what people think abt him or his designation. viva la vida

Zhou: i wanna say alpha OR omega. my narrative is that he was a shy rookie who’s not super comfortable in his designation yet when he first debuts but as he spends more time with “no fucks given” valterri he slowly becomes more confident and comfortable in himself. thats it sorry zhou fans im not well versed in the zhou lore 😭

Band of Brothers Ages: IRL vs. Actors

Did you know that according to a 1947 study, almost half the men who served in WWII were still under age 26 by the end of the war?

What this is : A (very long) post comparing the ages of the actors in Band of Brothers vs. the IRL figures they are portraying.

Background: Did I need to do this? No. Did anyone ask for this? Also no. Did I do it anyway? Yes.

Disclaimers: This is SUPER approximate for the most part. I based IRL ages off of D-Day unless otherwise noted, and actor ages off of January 1, 2000, the year filming took place (the latter is where the most variation will be because I didn't try to figure out what month filming started). I also didn't fact-check birthdays beyond googling. Most are sourced from the Band of Brothers and Military Wikis on fandom.com, Wikipedia, and IMDb.

I broke them up into rough categories, which are, again, approximate. I know I often forget how young the real life people were here, and this was a good reminder of that. I also found it interesting to see which actors were actually younger than their roles!

———————————

18+ only beyond this point

———————————

Bob walked out of the house and down to the end of your garden, where the cliffside gave way to rocks and boulders of varying sizes, allowing access to the crashing waves below.

He stood looking out at sea with arms crossed and his eyebrows pinched as he thought about what Gillian had said.

“Pieces of Alex, dragged for miles…”

He rubbed his face and let out a frustrated sigh. Part of him wanted to chalk the deaths up to coincidence, in the hopes that there was no curse, but he didn’t really believe that was the case. If you believed there was a curse, then there was one.

Obviously Bob didn’t want to die a painful death, but the problem was it was too late. He was already madly and unconditionally in love with you, since the very second he laid eyes on you, and even before, your soles were tied and imprinted on one another.

There was no one else for Bob, and he knew if he even tried to walk away, or move on with his life, he’d end up right back here every time.

Bob didn’t want to even try and leave, he didn’t want to die, but it didn’t matter if he got to spend whatever time he had left with you. Even if he did leave, he was still doomed to die, as he was already in love with you, no amount of distance or time would change that.

Bob sighed, his heart aching from the sheer force of what he felt for you, and turned to look back at the house.

—————————————

10 minutes went by and Bob still hadn’t come back. Your stomach churned and you got up out of your seat and grabbed a shawl from the coat hanger.

“I’m going to find Bob.” You told your mom, and she nodded, a sympathetic smile on her face.

You closed the back door behind you and scanned the dark garden. Bob was nowhere in sight, so you did a lap around the house to check.

Once you’d rounded back to the cliffside, you began to worry. His car was still at the front gate, but he wasn’t here. Perhaps he had taken a walk down to town to clear his mind.

You decided to check, and began to walk down the winding road down the hill.

The night was silent, and the sun began to slowly peek its head over the horizon, casting a dark blue glow over everything.

Something felt off, but you couldn’t place your finger on it. You couldn’t feel Bob. Ever since he had walked into your store a few days ago, you could feel him when he was nearby, the goosebumps, the hairs on the back of your neck, the heat in your stomach, but it wasn’t there now.

You picked up your pace as you got close to town, and began walking up and down the little streets until the sun was fully in the sky and everything was light and airy.

Children laughed and squealed on their way to school, parents chatting away to friends as they walked, the fishermen in the harbour coming back with their first catch of the day, but for once all of the makings of a normal day felt like they were masking something far more sinister.

By midday, your legs ached and you had checked every corner of the island you could think to check, and you were sick with nerves.

Where was Bob, how far could he have gotten without a car, and why couldn’t you feel him anymore?

Your mind raced to horrible possibilities, what if he was dead? No, he couldn’t be, you hadn’t heard the beetle, you have to hear the beetle! You kept telling yourself this over and over as you finally made your way on wobbly legs back up the road to your house.

You walked into the quiet house and your shoulders slumped.

“Bob?” You called hopelessly. Nothing. You wanted to cry, you were terrified.

Suddenly your Aunt Gillian popped her head out of the lounge, looking like death reanimated. She held her head and shuffled over to you. You wanted scream at her.

“Bree, I’m so sorry for last night. I don’t know what came over me. Did you find him?” She asked apologetically.

You shook your head, and suddenly the dam broke and you began to sob.

“Oh honey. Come here.” Gillian pulled you into her and held you as you cried.

“I can’t feel him anymore. He’s gone, Gilly.” You sobbed, your insides twisting painfully.

“No, honey, no. He can’t be, you would have heard it, you would have felt it.” She said stroking your hair.

“Is… is that what happened when Alex…?” You asked through your tears.

Aunt Gillian just nodded sadly, you could hear her heart beat speed up, and immediately felt bad for asking.

“I’m sorry that happened to you.” You said, “I know I didn’t say it last night, with everything going on, but I’m so sorry.”

“I knew what I was getting into. I just… didn’t expect it to happen so fast. I thought we’d have more time.” She whispered.

Your mom appeared at the top of the stairs and she immediately made her way down to pull you both into a hug.

“I’ll make some tea and we’ll brainstorm.” Your mom said, disappearing into the kitchen.

As you and aunt Gillian followed, she apologised again, “I really am sorry for last night, it was so strange, I just didn’t feel like myself.”

You smiled at her, all forgiven, “It’s ok Gilly, I think I’d do the same if I… lost Bob.” You whispered, suddenly feeling sick at the thought that you might have already.

The three of you sat at the kitchen table, drinking the chamomile tea your mom had brewed to calm your nerves as you flipped through spell book after spell book for anything that would help.

After what seemed like forever, you mom stopped, leaned closer to the book and the suddenly stood with such speed it made you jump.

“Got it!” She exclaimed, tapping her index finger twice against the page.

You stood and leaned over the table to see what she was pointing at.

“It’s not foolproof, but if we do it right we should be able to see what Bob is seeing. Hopefully we can figure out where he is that way.” She said.

“Let’s do it.”

—————————————

Having found Bobs big wire framed glasses in his car, and a bottle of his oaky cologne in the glove compartment, you gathered around the kitchen table and placed the items in the middle, surrounded by pillar candles arranged in an even circle.

Along with this you placed the page of your diary with the love spell you wrote when you were younger.

You joined hands with your mom and aunt and they ran you through what you would need to repeat.

“Are you ready?” Your mom asked. You took a deep breath and nodded.

Your mom gave you both the signal to start the spell.

“Take my mind and make it free, place it where my loves should be. Mighty Hecate make it so, where he is I need to know.

Take my mind and make it free, place it where my loves should be. Mighty Hecate make it so, where he is I need to know.”

The three of you repeated the spell over and over and over, louder and louder each time until eventually you were shouting at the top of your lungs, and still nothing was happening.

Your throat hurt and you kept repeating it over and over, but your mom and aunt had long stopped, watching you desperately cry out those words, until eventually you let out a loud sob, gripping the table as you cried, feeling defeated and heartbroken.

Your mom was about to call it off, and tell you she’d find another way.

A single tear slipped from your eye, rolled down your nose and dropped into the centre of the candles.

A bright light blinded you and engulfed the room, and the candles blew out.

Suddenly, you weren’t in your kitchen anymore, you were looking out at sea, the dark waves below you crashing thunderously. You tried to turn to look around but your body didn’t move, and suddenly you realised it wasn’t your body you were in at all, but Bobs.

“Bob!” You called, but no sound came out.

“Robby, please, where are you?” You cried.

Suddenly a sound echoed in what you could only imagine was Bobs head, a low grumble that gradually grew into a meniacal, menacing laugh.

You recognised that laugh, it wasn’t Bobs, it was the sound you heard coming from Aunt Gillys mouth the night before, the psychotic cackle that sent chills up your spine.

You suddenly realised, with absolute horror, that it wasn’t Aunt Gilly either, not now and not the night before.

“Hello.” The voice cooed, “Its getting a little cramped in here.” He said.

“Are you… is this Alex?” You asked, trying to steady your voice.

“Clever girl, much smarter than that Aunty of yours. She didn’t even realise I was there, bouncing around in her mind for months.”

“Why are you here?” You demanded.

“I’m owed this life, mine was wrongfully taken from me! If Gillian had told me that I would die, such a painfully long death, just for being with her, I would have run. I should have been allowed that choice!” He became angry, his voice echoing loudly.

“Bree?” Another voice, sound and familiar this time.

“Bob?” You called, “Bob, I’m here.”

“Bree! I can’t see anything, what’s happening?” He cried, panic in his usually strong voice.

“Bob just hang on, okay? I’m going to fix this!” You sobbed, but his voice didn’t come back.

“Bob?” You cried.

“He’s gone darling, my desire to live is so much stronger than his. He would have given his life up for you. Pathetic.” Alex’s voice cackled again.

Just then Bobs body turned slightly, and you caught a glimpse of the cliff side and trees on the ledge you took Bob to the day before.

“Fuck you!” You screamed, and suddenly you were being forced out by Alex, and you landed with a thump on your kitchen floor.

Your mom and aunt scrambled to your side, making sure you were okay.

You let out a loud, wracking sob as you fought for breath.

“It’s Alex!” You managed to get out. “Alex has Bob, I know where they are.” You gasped for air as you rolled over onto your knees.

Your mom and aunt followed you out the door as you ran as quick as you could.

“Wait!” Aunt Gilly shouted.

You spun around, already out of breath.

“What do you mean Alex has Bob?” Her hands on her hips, a confused expression on her face.

“That wasn’t you last night, Gilly. Alex has been with you since he died. He’s angry and he wants the life that was taken from him. I have to get to Bob before it’s too late.” You said, before turning on your heel and running down the winding road.

———————————————

All Bob remembered was turning to face the house, ready to walk back in and declare his love for you, and that he would not be scared off. He wanted to spend whatever time he had left being loved by you and loving you right back.

Instead of walking towards the house, his body turned back to the cliffside and walked down the stony path towards the boulders and rocks that gradually dipped towards the sea.

The next thing he remembered was darkness and hearing your voice. He was so relieved and tried to move towards it, but instead you kept getting further away, and then he heard another voice he didn’t recognise.

“Bree?” He called, panic washing over him. “Bree where are you?”

Nothing. Everything was deafeningly quiet, and pitch black. He tried to move around but felt like he was suspended in mid air, not gaining any sort of traction.

All Bob could do was wait, and think about how hard he would kiss you the next time he was given the chance.

————————————

You ran on tired, aching legs up the little path that led to the secret ledge you had shared with Bob. You stopped as soon as you had reached the grassy patch of land and your eyes desperately searched the small area for any sign of Bob. You doubled over and tried to catch your breath as you did so, gasping for the oxygen you had deprived your lungs of the entire 20 minute journey.

As you stood back up, you suddenly felt two large hands on your back, and you were pushed over the ledge. Luckily your hand found purchase on an exposed root, and you clung on with what little strength you had left, not to plummet into the violent ocean below, jagged rocks glinting menacingly in the sun, like teeth waiting to chew you to pieces.

Bobs head appeared over the edge, a crooked grin plastered on his face. It was Bob looking down at you, without a shadow of a doubt, but it wasn’t Bobs eyes. Two deep brown eyes replaced his sparking blue ones.

“God you really are incessant aren’t you?” He chuckled, and this time it was Bobs voice, as you were no longer in his head with Alex.

This made you shudder, but you had to remind yourself it wasn’t really him at all.

“Let him go, Alex. You can’t have him.” You gritted out as you exerted all of your strength to hold onto the root, which was becoming more and more slippery by the minute.

“I already have him, you stupid bitch.” He spat. “You Owens women are all the same, take take take! Selfish cows just thinking they are entitled to taking a mans life just so they feel wanted for once in their pathetic little existence. Your aunt told me about your mother, two men, TWO MEN she stole from. Two lives that could have continued had she just left well enough alone.” He was angry now, pacing up and down the length of the small ledge.

You were slipping.

“And you know what? As long as your blood line continues, this will keep happening. Because you’re all whores, selfish, disgusting whores. No. No I can’t allow it to go on, for the sake of humanity you have to be stopped.” He looked down at you, deranged eyes on the face you’d come to love so much.

He suddenly lifted his boot and stomped down on your fingers. You screamed as white hot pain seared through your hand, you gripped tighter as you felt your body slipping further down.

“Fuck you!” You cried, gritting your teeth together.

He lifted his boot again, and brought it down even harder, causing you to inadvertently loosen your grip.

You couldn’t stop yourself from falling now as the last of the root slipped from your fingers, and you closed your eyes to prepare for the impact.

[honeybeehimbo]

looking for new partners for m/f pairing's where i play the male. discord only. i love angst, smut and a little fluff (not too much fluff or it gets uninteresting for me, sorry!) plots under the read more, but open to other ideas too. some fandom ideas also under, hence the tags. like and i will dm you or dm me directly

best friend's older sister

muse a is a vampire/demon hunter, muse b is a monster with a soul/conscious. 

summer best friends

emergency contact

older muses reunite

something based off this, cue all the angst

ideas with my own muses

drew (kyle allen fc), a musician, reunites with the girl his songs are all about. can be another artist or someone outside the musician lifestyle.

chase (dylan minette fc), your typical geek boy, is hooking up with the popular girl, who wants to keep it a secret. but chase is catching feelings

rish (rahul kohli fc), er doctor/chief resident, your muse and rish dated in their 20s, but eventually broke up because they never saw each other because of rish's commitment to his work and inability to make time for the relationship. your muse suddenly pops up during the graveyard shift at the er with a twisted ankle (or something else!) rish is the doctor in charge and they catch up and old feelings resurface.

elias (andrew garfield fc), a magnificent fine artist needs a nude model, which is your muse, tensions arise and it's clear that they both want each other. but elias has commitment issues. (this one is really bare bones, but im open to adding details, maybe making it more forbidden, affair? age gap? im open to hearing ideas)

fandom wants

canon x canon only! i will not do canon x oc

marvel: peter parker (andrew garfield or tom holland) against any other female marvel character from any "universe"

glee: finn hudson against any female glee character, might also be willing to do crossover with other shows in the same realm.

ER: i will play pretty much any of the guys from the show er against any of the female ones.

one tree hill: jake/peyton, brooke/lucas, rachel/any male, mia/any male, alex/any male, i will not do any of the canon pairings that actually end up together, since i feel like that story has already been told.

sex education: any girl/otis

Map: Detroit's Downtown Shoppers Parking Guide 1954

Downtown Detroit was literally built on the premise of parking lots when the city population was at its peak of over 1.8 million people in the 1950s. This “Shoppers Parking Guide” in 1954 promoted the message, “To Shop Drive Car, To Work Ride DSR.” The pamphlet notes that there is always a parking space available and if you find yourself at a parking lot that is full, simply use the guide to find…

PREVIEW:

Faraway houses wink at him in the distance, roofs glimmering under the gentle morning glow, getting ready to face yet another day with its tenants who will be waking up a few hours later than him. For the first time after an hour he bothers to look at where the sun attempts to greet him; and not for the first and last time, he wonders what it is like to be at home—permanently at home, and not driving a giant monstrosity delivering cargo from one state line to another every damn week. Gently, like the unhurried rise of the sleepy sun, his thoughts start drifting to the what-ifs, but he never lingers too long to the point that these what-ifs start making sense. He turns away, back to the task at hand, listening to the loud roar-purring of the engine and the staticky quality of radio music. Not another lonely fucking country song. …But when did all country songs ever get happy? Seven miles. There’s only seven miles left before Brahms. He’d already passed through other quiet little towns, and whenever the outline of houses do not find him on the road, the shiny faraway waters of the massive Toluca Lake do. It waits for him like it always had, wondering when he’ll be dropping by again; and like the sun, he tries not to take notice of it too much. It’s too pretty; too inviting; too distracting; and last time he got distracted it had gotten him into a bit of trouble. All he has to do is drive, go through Brahms, then after Brahms, there’s another quaint little town to pass through. And this quaint, nice, quiet little town… Well. Shouldn’t be new to him anymore. It’s only a passageway: a bridge to get him to his point B. After that, it’ll be over, and he’ll be circling all the way back to where he’d come from, which should take him another week. He’d be waiting for new-not-so-new instructions by then, sending him back on the road once more after a couple days’ rest in his not-really-permanent home. It’ll be like nothing happened. Said quaint little town had been lenient on him for the last seventeen years, and even though he could sense its anger because he got out safe and sound, it never dared pull him back. He’s always around, anyway, observing. Like he never got away. Did he ever get away?

Sibling Showdown!!!
