Your eyes burned with desire as they scanned your co-star's torso, his suspenders still hanging from his shoulders to prevent his civil war period pants from falling. Who's making the carpentry with the shirt off? Tom's manly hands worked the wood, his biceps contracting with every movement he made, his callused fingers smoothed the surface of the furniture under construction. You swallow hard before biting your lip. His brown curls were falling over his eyes and you suddenly dreamed of running your hands through them or that his curls tickle your inner thighs while his tongue took care of your warm and wet spot, just for him. You remembered that your colleague told you that he had trained as a carpenter, all like part of the male members of his family, as a back-up solution if he didn’t become an actor. He had told you that he was happy that it could be of use to him now, but you didn't think it would be so hot to see him work. Your whole body was a furnace, heat radiating every inch of your skin. You raised your cup of coffee to your lips, trying to suppress a grimace at the coldness of the liquid.
"Cut!" you heard. "Y/N, you winced as you drank from your cup ..."
"Yeah, sorry, sorry. Would it be possible to heat the coffee or give me water instead?" you asked nicely.
One of the director's assistants reached out to grab your cup. Your eyes were lost in the direction of your co-star who was getting up from the top of the cabinet. Tom gave you a warm smile and your heart skipped a beat. It wasn't hard to play out the desire for his character when literally your whole body was reacting to his sight. Sometimes you could feel a connection with the British. The only major problem: Tom had a girlfriend. You weren't that kind of girl to get involved in an already established relationship. You liked your partner, found him attractive, you felt close to him but never revealed those feelings to him, because he was taken. It was not your place; the seat was taken. However, a little hope burned deep within you, the dream that he felt the same, an illusory utopia in which he would leave his current girlfriend for you. Tom's girlfriend was on set, visiting, and you could feel his frozen gaze on you. Your eyes locked with hers and you could see an authoritative, territorial glow. Tom was hers, not yours. Your eyes narrowed in an annoyed expression, your irises almost silently defying the woman standing in front of you. You would never attempt anything of course, but you didn't like to be stared at, you also hated possessiveness. Nothing about your behavior with Tom off the set could suggest any ambiguity. So, it turned out that Tom's girlfriend just didn't like you playing her boyfriend's love interest, on screen. But, hey, that was part of the job, right? This girl was dating Tom, she knew that her career required screen shares with actresses in a romantic plot, isn't it? The assistant director brought you your cup, warning you that this time it was only water. You nodded and your gaze fell on Tom again. His hairdresser was reworking his curls a bit to make them appear a little damper. A little pinch in your stomach reminded you that you wanted so badly to be in this woman's shoes.
"Is everything good on set?"
The director asked to everyone to get back in their place, you settled down correctly on your brand, leaning on the fictitious stoop and the boss then shouted "Action". The scene picked up a few moments from where it had left off earlier.
Your eyes scanned Tom, working with wood, and you drank your "coffee" - which was now water - dreamily. Your co-star glanced at you with a smirk that fell to the ground. He stopped in his movements, placing the hammer on his wood desk to turn fully towards you and approach.
"I will end up believin’ that you’re only callin’ me to look at me ma'am" he said in a somewhat gruff, country accent.
“You might be right, but if I am asked, I will deny everything altogether” You replied nicely. A smile almost as brazen as the Brit in front of you.
Tom grabbed your hip, slamming you against him. You half opened your lips by planting your feverish gaze in his eyes to reveal the desire that consumed between you.
"Ma’am, it’s not respectable from you, you’re an engaged woman"
Out of context, this scene looked like bad porn. The first time you read it you remembered laughing out loud, even more so the first time you repeated it with Tom, who had thought the same thing. It took both of you a lot of hours of preparation not to laugh today, during the shoot. But the film was beautiful, the context was even more beautiful, you were wearing that civil war pioneer costume.
"But I'm not married yet ... and my husband isn't giving me the attention I deserve"
Tom's leg was between your thighs and despite the petticoat and vintage underwear, the pressure was enough to make you really horny, without having to act for the camera. You let out a small moan as your co-star moved closer to you, delivering his cue before you jumped to his lips in a languid kiss. It was in the script but deep down you weren't sure if you were acting or not. Tom lifted you up while leaning against the wooden column on the porch, keeping your legs around him despite your petticoat. Your hands clung to his shoulders while taking care to drop his straps. With a hasty hand he pulled his pants down just below his butt. His lips were on your throat and your hands were running through his curls before you pushed him away.
"Not here. Someone could see us." you said, your voice a little rocky with horniness.
God you wanted this to be real. Your co-star grabbed you by the legs again in a rush, you let out a little cry of surprise before laughing, wrapped like a Koala around Tom who came through the doorway while kissing you again.
"And cut"
Suffice to say that it was not a good day to visit her boyfriend on a film set. Tom's girlfriend looked like a real dragon when you laid your eyes on her, still in Tom's arms, because he loved walking with you and laughing after the scene. His laughter filled the room as he let out another of his stupid jokes:
"Does my character get clamydia? Because by wearing this koala, I have doubts about my sexual health"
You burst out laughing before hopping on your own two feet, firmly on the ground, not without a little slip. The petticoat is really not suitable for the stunts. You dusted off your costume and your head turned to Tom's girlfriend again. You could almost believe smoke was coming out of her nostrils and if her eyes were daggers you would be dead by now. The film crew however found their joke very funny since a few seconds later, the entire set and its employees were laughing at Tom's nonsense, just like you had done a few seconds earlier. You slapped your fist on Tom's shoulder with an amused smile before tilting your head towards his molten girlfriend.
"You should join your girlfriend, Holland, instead of clowning."
Tom rolled his eyes before kissing your cheek and heading towards the thundering dragon, not forgetting to wink at you. Was he actually flirting with you in the presence of his girlfriend? You shook your head as you chased the idea, happy that the first part of that day of filming was over.
Everyone was going to sleep, well that's what he thought.
Comfortably seated on the sofa, t-shirt and boxers as the only casual outfit, sunk under a thin blanket, Tom was reading the script for tomorrow's scene. A scene he already knew and which had already warmed his cheeks at the first reading. But tomorrow he had to be ready. His eyes went through lines of text, little dialogue, a lot of action. And the more he read, the tighter his boxers got, he tried to stretch the fabric to make himself more comfortable but nothing helped. Tom had a fucking erection right in the middle of the living room reading his script. He heaved a sigh of desolation. He should have gone up to his room and made love to his girlfriend, reduced that tension between his legs ... but he didn't want to ... worse yet, he knew if he did, it wouldn't be her that he would think of. It had been a long day and the scene earlier had made him a little exhilarated. After all, the "bad porn" scene he and you were having fun portraying had the desired effect. And then his girlfriend flustered him. She wasn't wrong, the tension between you and him was there and he was attracted to you.
Tom put the script on the coffee table, glancing around him before repositioning himself on the sofa. His right hand to cross under the blanket and he came to feel his penis through his boxers, releasing a small sigh of comfort. His fingers began to weigh down his testicles as his thumb stroked up and down his cock through the fabric of his underwear. He tilted his head back on the armrest of the sofa, enjoying his own medicine, his lips and eyebrows pursed.
You stayed for the night. Despite the storm that was Tom's girlfriend, you had spent the evening in his rental house with several members of the team. Tom's girlfriend went to bed angry and soon enough and you stayed so late that Tom offered to take one of the extra bedrooms. You called it a night before your co-star, but now you were awake, uncomfortable with the room temperature. You needed some freshness and you got up slowly to go down to the kitchen. You only had reached the bottom of the stairs when you heard a noise, or rather, a sigh. Discreetly, you tilted your head and saw a figure lying on the sofa. A rustle of fabric caught your attention again, a soft moan accompanying it, making your body heat up more than it already was, but in a new sensation. Another moan was heard.
Tom was quite oblivious. His hand continued to stroke his hard cock through his boxers but he needed more. That's why he grabbed his dick straight into his underwear, making him sigh with glee once again. Images of this day of filming came back in his mind; how this period corset curved your boobs, so inviting ... How your breath was so erratic, the way he pressed his knee between your legs, wishing you weren't wearing this civil war costume. Tom leaned his head back on the armrest, letting his hand guide him into his own desire.
"So pretty for me, y/n"
You were still in shock at what you heard now, but an unseen force made you sit in front of the stairs as quietly as possible with your legs spread. It was incredibly sexy and the warmth you had felt before was nothing compared to that moment. Your hand slipped under the elastic of your improvised pajamas. It was bad, so bad. Someone could come down at any time and find you there, lying on the stairs, touching you as Tom did the same thing, without seeing you, a few feet away. Your fingers caressed your lace panties, putting pressure on your folds already swollen with desire. Tom's moans and his praise for your fictitious self, brought you into one of the hottest fantasies and you could imagine the British between your legs, your fingers replaced by his. You have inserted a finger in you, not without pressing your free hand against your mouth, pinching your nose to avoid moaning too loudly. But Tom was still unconscious, in his own high, as his hand picked up the pace on his hard red cock, about to unleash his intense pleasure just imagining you beneath him, moaning his name.
"Fuck, Y/N"
Your hips sank under your fingers at the hearing of your name coming out of her mouth again, you had just started your torture that you were already ready to losing ground. Your pace was rushed, strong and passionate but damn, you wanted this man, this man who had a girlfriend and yet moaned your name on the living room couch. You felt your toes twitch, your head thrown back against the staircase wall, your hand still pressed against your mouth to silence you. But the moan of your orgasm has escaped you.
For a moment, in his own orgasm, Tom thought he heard your muffled voice with lust, his cock contracting even more in his hand as his cum covered his hand. He threw his head back on the armrest again, closing his eyes to take a few seconds to recover from his orgasm. The guilt only invaded him a few minutes after the realization: He had just masturbated while thinking of you while his girlfriend was sleeping in a room above him; he was screwed.
You wiped your hand on your pajamas before holding on to the railing to gently get up. Without a word, you went up the stairs ... Never mind for that glass of water you wanted to take ...
The next day, Tom had asked his girlfriend not to appear on the set, out of respect for her ... Well, that was his biggest excuse ... he didn't want her to see how this sex scene disturbed him and how much he loved this idea of him fucking you passionately in period costumes. You never talked about what happened, Tom never knew you were on the stairs the other night, he never knew your little secret ... The scene, well that choreographed, was so intense but so insincere at the same time. Sometimes you could hear when Tom wasn't playing but you also knew when one of his moans was real, even though you weren't actually having sex. Because it was nice to laugh about it but your film was not made in the framework of the porn industry.
Months had passed, the press tour had started last week. You weren't surprised to see Tom's girlfriend join in behind the scenes in a few interviews. She liked so much to analyze all the behaviors of her boyfriend to blame him later, initiating the argument. You could see that Tom wasn't happy but you were just the good friend. His makeup artist would go out of her way to try and hide the dark circles under his eyes and as your hairdresser added the finishing touches to your hairstyle, you smirked at Tom out of the corner of your lips.
"Tough night?"
"If only that was what you were thinking ..."
You wanted to yell at her "why don't you leave her?" but you held back. Your hand simply landed on your co-star's thigh in a reassuring gesture. But it did not escape the journalist's eyes. The man had worked with Tom before, so your co-star wasn't going into new territory. But without knowing why, you felt it really tense ... And you quickly discovered the reason for this tension.
"Y/N you're pretty new to the movie industry and for a big lead role you found yourself shooting some very intimate, nude scenes with your co-star. Tell us, how was that, being so intimate with Tom Holland? "
You let out an embarrassed chuckle, the question was meant to make you uncomfortable, and the fact that the reporter was talking to you like Tom wasn't in the room made you nervous. You sat back in your chair with a tight smile.
"I'm not sure. Whatever my answer would be, I could piss off his fans greatly."
"Oh, come on ... not even a small impression?"
"Let's just say he's not the most obnoxious person to play this kind of scene with or even watch in general."
The journalist's smirk reflected an "I feel you, girl" and a "I'm not done with this bullshit." He tilted his head, his eyes turning to Tom.
“That's a compliment to you Tom. And you, it was your first intimate scene in the movies for you too. And from the footage… it's scorching, you even seemed pretty comfortable with it. How did your girlfriend take it when she saw the first pictures? "
Tom tensed too, he bit the inside of his lips before looking at you and then at the reporter. He leaned down from his seat to take a sip of water and cracked his neck before letting out a laugh that sounded so wrong in your ear. It didn't amuse him, you knew that.
"Come on, man ... What can I say? Like a girlfriend watching her partner be intimate with another. But she knows it's cinema, it's our job."
There was a game between your co-star and the reporter, like a man-to-man, brother-to-brother bond. The advantage of having already worked together but above all, that Tom is so natural in his words. Yet this is what pushed the man further in his questions.
"Your on-screen chemistry is still intense. Those kinds of scenes should bring you closer, though."
"Of course, we get along well off the set y/n and I but yeah, you know ... it's still weird ... It's a bit like sleeping with the nice and shy neighbor that your mom has been trying to settle you with since you were a teenager ... It's nice but it's still weird and platonic. "
Your throat tightened at his words. The performance he had just made hit you in the stomach and you were hurt and angry at the same time. In your head you were screaming and your rage was telling you to retort that it was weird for him to say that when he had jerked off the night before your sex scene, whispering your name. But you knew it was better to say nothing at all, for your career and hers. You put on your best smile, hiding your hurt feelings, you just faked a laugh and looked at the reporter.
"Yeah, I was going to say he was like a brother, but the neighbor's shot is more original."
The interview ended with a few questions about the film to which you answered with the usual speeches already pre-written by the production team. At the end of the interview, you have to thank the reporter, your tongue pushing against your teeth, your smile twitching. Tom turned to you and sighed dramatically.
"Pfff, the hard part is over. Last interview of the day. Would you like to grab a bee..."
"Fuck off, Holland." you cut him off, releasing the tension you felt during the interview before leaving the room, your assistant on your back.
Your uber was already there and you almost jumped in to get back to your hotel. As soon as you got back, you undressed to put on a bathrobe and did what any girl would do in a cliché romantic movie: call room service to have champagne delivered to you. You told your assistant that you wanted to be alone and for once she listened to you, not without wondering if you were okay. She was a lovely woman, about your age, maybe a little younger, very concerned about your sanity and your interests. You assured her that you just wanted to have an evening of your own. And she left you alone.
The champagne drunkenness was the worst: it was delicious, you didn't feel the alcohol rising and you were quickly intoxicated. You were lying on your bed, your mouth full of chocolate - more cliché than you, you're dying! - the bottle of champagne completely empty. You leaned over the phone and called room service to ask for another bottle when there was a knock on the door. In your drunken state your eyes widened, surprise /
"Wow, that was quick" you said to the receptionist before hanging up.
You stumbled to the door. You were pathetic. Make you sick for a man, who wasn't even single. Speaking of the wolf - well rather the spider, in his case -. Tom stood there; his forehead creased by your appearance. You laughed at your previous thought - that of the spider -. Then you frowned, you didn't want to see him but he was still there.
"Can I come in or is the party private?" he asked in a half-amused, half-frustrated tone.
In a burst of contention, you opened the door and turned your back on him to your bed, which you sat on the end of, not caring whether Tom would come in or not. But he came in and he looked worried.
"Y/N, have you been drinking?"
"No, shit?! Good's on that, Sherlock" you said sarcastically.
Tom closed the door behind him before approaching you but you reached out to stop him. You shook your head negatively. No kindness, no kind Tom's best friend. You were fed up with this game.
"You are a great actor, you know?"
He wanted to speak, confused by your words but you stopped him in his tracks. It was your turn to speak, it was your moment. He had disturbed you in your drunken moment so he was going to listen. Why was he even there, after all?
"That sometimes you wonder what the line is between fact and fiction."
Your co-star wasn't sure where to look, he didn't understand why you were in this state and he really did care. Besides, you had been so cold after his interview, he had to understand. Did all of this have a connection?
You laughed alone, absorbed in your thoughts. You grabbed the champagne glass that barely had a left champagne in it - which is why you ordered another bottle in the first place - and then you kind of toast, pointing at Tom with your glass.
“You're an enigmatic character all on your own, Tom Holland" you said, by marking the intonation on his name. "You give sweet and funny, perfect boyfriend vibes, while giving off a fuck boy vibe that takes you against a wall bluntly. That's what makes you a good actor ... " you paused." "Just like now! A few months ago, you jerked off while blowing my name in your living room during the shooting ... and now ... you say about me that I am the nice little neighbor who 'we fuck for pity. "
You put your hands dramatically against your lips, hissing a little "oops" as Tom's eyes widened in surprise. How could she even know this intimate moment?
"Wh-what? How do you know that?" he asked with a shaking voice
You chuckled, drunk, the deceptively guilty expression. You could be such a bitch when you were drunk.
"It was supposed to be a secret."
You have swept your words with your hand, the champagne flute still between your fingers.
"You are playing with me, Holland. And I don't like it. What you said was hurtful!"
"I am not. Y/N, I am not play-"
"And you know what's funny, Tom? You know?" you cut him off, for the umpteenth time tonight.
"Uh no."
"No, of course not. Well, here's the funny thing: it's not respectable from you, mister. You have a girlfriend." You imitated his line from your movie with your own words and an attempt at a masked British accent in a South American accent wanting to sound like Tom and his character.
Tom really didn't know where to go. It was too much for him. He who had just come to get answers to your behavior now had some, but it was way beyond what he expected. You were drunk declaring your love to him while reproaching him for still being in a relationship, without taking his own feelings into account.
"And you know what's sad ... is that, damn ... I really thought you liked me."
"You're drunk, Y/N. We're not having this discussion."
You suddenly started to cry and Tom felt really helpless in the face of the scene in front of you. No lie, you looked pathetic.
Your co-star ended up approaching you and, in your vulnerability, you let him. Slowly, he took the glass of champagne and placed it on the entryway cabinet, then hugged you. You buried your nose against him, too drunk to care about your behavior. You were still mad at him, but the softness of his arms was so good, everything was heartwarming. Tom kissed you on the top of your head as he rocked you.
"I like you. I didn't know how to tell you." He spoke.
"What a romantic way to declare yourself." You joked, slightly laugh in his shirt.
“You said it,” he joked too, still hugging you.
"But you have a girlfriend."
"I was about to leave her. I didn't expect to receive a drunken outburst of love in the meantime, that's all."
You laughed again, lighter. The point of your feelings flew away, relieved to have confided your love, even in an advanced state of intoxication. Even more relieved to know that Tom shared your feelings. You frowned, however, as the words came back to you, your eyes plunged into hers in a confused pout.
"But ... earlier?."
"I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to offend you… I just didn't know how to shut up this guy…"
You pursed your lips, your brows furrowed, still nodding your head to say that you understood - well, more or less -. Tom smiled you really looked adorable when you were drunk ... well, when you didn't look like an evil bitch ... he kissed your forehead, then your nose, then when he got to the level of your lips, he hesitated, before kissing the corner of them.
"I really like you ... really, really like you. But I'm not an asshole cheating on his girlfriend. Let's leave some time to digest tonight. Let me break up with my girlfriend before I can properly kiss you."
You simply hummed an answer, his scent had invaded your nostrils from the moment he hugged you, his words were soft as cotton, just like the tone of his voice and without wanting to offend him, you had started to fall asleep. The Briton let out a laugh before kissing you on the forehead and pulling you over to the bed to tuck you in. Tom brushed off a strand of your hair admiring your beauty. Even with the mascara that had run off, even with the messy hair and the boozy breath, you looked beautiful. Fearsome, but beautiful.
"Good night, Y/N".
He kissed your forehead again before leaving the room with a smile, knowing that his feelings for you were mutual.
That night, Tom left his girlfriend.

Hi! I couldn’t find a fluff list, but I could have not just scrolled enough, lol! Anyway, could I ask for Asmo x Succubus reader where Y/N is insecure about her body and how she’s bigger than other sucubi?
Awww this is so cute! Of course I'll do it! And Succubus reader?! Where do you get these awesome ideas?!
TW: Insecurities, Suggestive scenes. Minor babies DNI.
"Are you sure she's one of us?"
"She looks way too big. Is she a hybrid?"
"Must be. Succubus are supposed to be small and dainty, right?"
You were used hearing this all the time growing up. Yet it never stopped stinging in all the wrong places.
You had acquired almost every bad habit in existence. Overcontrolling your diet, wearing restrictive clothing that bit your skin, overexerting your body. Nothing worked.
But Asmo noticed it all along. And he knew you were doing it all wrong. He didn't want to confront you about it directly in case you were uncomfortable but he was always supporting you from the sidelines.
"No you must try this pastry, MC. It's has your favourite toppings too!"
"No MC your skin will be all red and marked. Get this dress instead."
"MC you've run enough, come I'll take you to my favourite spa."
But this time, it was different. He found you curled up on the floor next to your bed, softly sobbing away in the dark.
"MC?! MC what's wrong, my darling?" Asmo was worried sick just looking at you. You looked like you hadn't eaten in days.
"Put back the curtains, Asmo. I don't want light in here." You whined.
"I would let it be if you were having fun in the dark, love but this doesn't look fun." Asmo wrapped his arms around your form.
"I don't have to see myself in the mirror when it's dark." You answered. This positively broke Asmo's heart.
"And why wouldn't you want to see it? Why wouldn't you want to see someone as gorgeous as yourself?" Asmo demanded.
"Look at me Asmo." You said looking up at him teary eyed. "Do I look like a usual succubus to you? My body...it's...not like theirs."
"So it's a bit different so what?" Asmo questioned, "You're still gorgeous. And honestly because you're bigger, there's more of you I get to touch and leave kisses on."
And with that he proceeded to leave little butterfly kisses all over your shoulders and arms.
You smiled a bit. "You mean it? You're not just saying it for my sake?"
"I only let the finest have a taste of me, darling." Asmo said easing you onto the bed. "And you? Well I'd let you have me whole. You're the most beautiful being I've ever laid eyes on."

I believe Greg’s claims that his family situation was horrible. When a grown-up man feels like he has no other choice but to run away from his family (remember, Greg was, like, 20 when he left) and then has absolutely nothing good to say about them for years and years later - that’s an indictment of the parents, not the son. They forced him into activities that had nothing to do with his actual intersts (including wrestling which can be... very unpleasant when you’re not into it), and absolutely forbade him from anything associated with the thing he actually LIKED, music. They didn’t allow him to dress and look the way he wanted and not in a “I am not letting my toddler wear the same shirt for 20 days in a row way’, in a “your son is 18 and you are still forcing him to cut his hair the way YOU want it to look”. That’s bad, that’s really bad. Greg wasn’t just sick of a ‘boring, mundane life on the suburbs with too much meatloaf’, he was suffocated in a toxic household.
And I understand why Greg was upset and defensive when Steven started with his ‘maybe your parents had a point’ thing. It must hurt to hear your son, the only family you really have in this world, defend the family you ran away from. Steven’s not thinking totally straight, he accuses Greg of keeping him away from his grandparents but he saw the stacks of unopened letters - implying that Greg has TRIED to keep in contact with them but the DeMayos were the one who refused. He’s focusing on the image of normalcy and humanity that the DeMayos house represents, on school and friends and graduations and home-cooking and adorable spoon collections - and not on Greg feeling they could never accept him and that he had to hide his most treasured possessions from his parents.
But ALSO Greg should apologize to Steven and work to be a better parent. Steven wouldn’t have been happier under an upbringing as strict and overcontrolling as the DeMayos. But Greg’s only two options weren’t “toxic overbearing ‘normalcy’” and ‘living in a van and never going to school’ - he is at fault for going into the absolute extreme opposite of his own upbringing and prehaps of projecting his own desires over Steven’s needs. Steven has told him, quite clearly, that he is upset about growing up without a stable roof over his head, about missing out on school (which both an opportunity for his future and a chance to expand his peer group and make a lot more friends), about never going to a doctor’s (nobody could guess what effect Rose’s healing powers could have on Steven’s body! Steven really lucked out that he didn’t NEED to go to the Doc for most issues, but nobody could have guessed it!) and Greg’s response was just “Yeah, but what I had was worse!”. I understand why Greg’s instincts were to go on the defensive but he is the adult and the dad and Steven is his teenage son it’s Literally His Job to be the bigger person in the argument.
And just as I consider Greg’s seemingly 100% negative feelings about the DeMayos indictment enough that they were shitty parents, then I find Steven’s mixed feelings about Greg as an indictment that Greg’s parenting has been flawed. Steven is currently a very messed up teenager, and Greg is his dad; Steven’s healthy development and happiness is his responsibility! I understand why Greg Turned Up the Way That He Did considering his background, but he is at the very least complicit in many of the Shit That Fucked Steven’s Mental State to the point that it is today. Even if I accept the idea that Steven HAD to live off-the-grid due to being a Gem (and I don’t necessarily. Yeah, his mother is a Space Alien, but his dad is a US citizen and he was born on US soil, he can have a fucking Social Security Number), Greg could have... like... tried to find some sort of structured non-Gem activity that Steven might be intersted in (we’re not going Full DeMayo here) like an afterschool class or something to give Steven a chance to develop his nonmagical skills and bond with more children his age. Which would have lowered the amount of time Steven was stuck alone in the Beach House just waiting for the Gems to come back and allowed him to develop his interpersonal skills and create a bigger support network for himself... these are things that could have really helped Steven in the long-run!
Steven opened up to Greg about his issues (and we know how hard it is to Steven to actually open up!), and what Greg ended up offering to him was more about Greg than about Steven. The message of the “Mr. Universe” song is “you can be free! You can be anything!” and that was clearly so meaningful and touching to young Gregory DeMayo, but it is the exact opposite of what Steven Universe wanted and asked for - some sort of direction and stabillity. And it’s... not the worst mistake in the world for a parent to make, to try and give your kids what YOU want rather than what THEY want, especially when you are dealing with such a complex problem as Steven has. But when you realize the You solution isn’t working... you have to process that it’s not working because they are not You and they require a change is perspective and maaaaaybe they might feel a little hurt that you were projecting on them and might want an apology or at least an acknowledgement that that’s what you were doing and that you’re going to Not Do It now?
If you are a parent and you have a child who is as messed-up as Steven is right now, that is kinda your responsibility bcause your child is your responsibility. If you have a child that is mad at you, you should at least have the self-awareness to think about what you might have done wrong. If your child literally shouts at you something that basically means “the source of all of my problems is the fact that I am your son”, then... that at least requires some self-reflection. Steven said stuff that was Dumb and Wrong and Hurtful things in this car argument, that’s true. He WOULDN’T have been happy under the thumb of parents like the DeMayos, Greg probably was justified in cutting them off, it’s not his dad’s fault that he never meant his grandparents. But inside these dumb and hurtful things there is a kernel of real frustration and hurt. And instead of acknowledging that frustration; Showing some sort of regret for not being able to give Steven a more stable and ‘normal’ home life that he now desires, promising to do better in the future, even just a “sorry I messed up, I didn’t mean to mess you up”... Greg just acts like he ignores it completely.
If your child has an outburst that they was clearly ashamed of and was clearly Pretty Unhealthy, you can’t just say “I’m proud of you, you called me out on my bullshit. And if you do, you can at least, like... acknowledge that things you were called on in any way???? Rather than just make it about yourself and YOUR upbringing and how it was much worse, which... even if ya don’t mean it, comes off as just you ‘proving’ that your parenting style IS right, because, hey! You can tell me anything! While meanwhile your kid is processing that no, he can’t tell you anything, because you are not actually doing anything useful for me right now. When your child tells you that your parenting style was bad and harmful to them, you should not immediately go into the same old routines you always do right after that???
I fear that the whole experience might have made Steven’s question Greg’s love for him, that maybe now he sees Greg’s kind and accepting nature as insincere and just as an attempt to overcompensate for his own issues. Is Greg really proud of him or does he just say it because that’s what he’s ‘supposed’ to say? But I have no doubt that Greg loves and cares for Steven a whole lot and that he raised Steven the way that he did because he thought that was the best option possible and that... the whole situation is just hard for him. Steven is dealing with a lot of issues that he never outwardly displayed to his parental figures before and it’s hard for them to adjust and to know what the right solution is. And it’s just plain easier to try and fall into your regular parenting techniques that always seemed to work before (like giving your child more ice cream and telling them their emotions are valid), rather than try and totally dismantle your approach to parenting in one evening.
It’s important to remember that Greg’s probably not in the best place right now either. Just because I think it is Greg’s responsibility as the Dad to be the bigger person in the argument and see what part of Steven’s complaints are valid... doesn’t mean it’s not also a hard thing to do when he’s also bringing up memories of Greg’s abusive childhood and saying his parents might not be all that bad. That’s gotta make it hard for Greg to think rationally about Steven’s words. And that’s not factoring in the supernatural element in which Steven’s trauma gives him Scary Dangerous Powers and Greg is the squishest, most fragile part of Steven’s family.
But it’s still Greg’s responsibility to make Steven happy and healthy, and on that day, on “Mr. Universe”, he messed that up. And I believe Steven when he says that he messed that up before too. Greg’s not a bad person, but... an apology for the missteps of parenthood is what Steven needed at that moment and what Steven was hoping for, and Greg’s inabillity to deliever it was what caused the rift in their relationship most of all. I mean... The show literally spells that Steven needs to hear some sort of ‘I’m sorry’, not just from Greg, but from all of his parental figures! Remember how “Prickly Pair” ended???
Cactus Steven is a metaphor for Meat Steven, for Cactus Steven to find peace he had to hear Meat Steven acknowledge that he hasn’t been the best parent and that he’s sorry. And it’s no coincedence that Steven has very rarely heard his parental figures apologize to him and that it has yet to happen in SUF, my prediction is that it’s gonna play some sort of part in the finale and with Steven fixing his relationship with Greg and the CGs.

What Do You Believe Dialectical Behavioral Training Program
What Do You Believe Dialectical Behavioral Training Programs
Is being too “on top of things” causing you distress?
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a well-established treatment for people who suffer from emotion dysregulations and impulsive behaviors. This includes people with self-harming and suicidal behaviors, substance abuse, and chronic interpersonal difficulties. And while DBT has shown efficacy for many people struggling, there is a specific group that seems to just not benefit from this form of treatment: people who suffer from maladaptive overcontrol. This type of coping style often leads to difficult to treat disorders such as chronic depression, anorexia nervosa, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. Luckily there is a newly developed, evidence-based treatment called Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT) to address symptoms of maladaptive overcontrol.
Maladaptive Overcontrol: what is that?
Maladaptive overcontrol is a type of coping with emotional pain that leads to social isolation, aloof and distant relationships, risk aversion, strong needs for structure, inhibited emotional expression, hyper-perfectionism, and detail orientation over general situations. This is picture of low openness, low flexibility, and social signaling deficits is thought to be the result of combined biological and environmental factors. Unfortunately, this coping style leads to limited opportunities for learning new skills or forming close social bonds. Because of this, people with maladaptive overcontrol tend to suffer from emotional loneliness and “feel anxious on the inside yet not display any overt signs of anxiety on the outside” (Lynch, p. 144).
How do I know if I have this?
The way that maladaptive overcontrol would show up is often through behaviors that at first glance appear very effective. These include high detail orientation, perfectionism or high achievement, resistance of temptation, rigid adherence to rules, and high tolerance of pain or distress. However, while these behaviors are often reinforced in a person’s environment, they result from a heightened sense of threat in social settings. This leads to a low tolerance for: making mistakes, spontaneity, displays of overt emotion, and difficulties accepting feedback from others. These folks also tend to lack the range of facial expressions that allow for non-verbal connections as they read social interactions as a threat and their faces tend to “freeze” in response to threats.
Would you ever lie for me? The response you’re looking for with this question is: “I would never lie for you.' An employee who won’t lie for you won’t lie to you, DeMars says. Tell me about a time that you were challenged ethically. Don’t trust a candidate who says he’s never faced an ethical challenge.
Click To Tweet
Instead, you’d do better to cultivate an environment of balance, a self-awareness of one’s limits and health in order to work most effectively. To create a balanced work environment, encourage employees not to take work home with them! You can try restricting work-related emails and calls to certain hours as much as possible.
Are you willing to adopt a dialectical world view? Practicing DBT involves a skillful balance of strategies which emphasize both change and acceptance. DBT challenges the therapist to believe that clients are doing the best they can and want to improve; at the same time, clients need to do better, and/or be more motivated to change.
SO, if you are the type of person who goes above and beyond to avoid all mistakes, is constantly sensitive to perceived criticisms, bases your self-worth on performance/achievements as compared to others, and avoids novel social situations, you might have an overcontrolled coping style. Ask yourself if you struggle with making connections or trying to suppress your authentic emotions. Do you feel that people often misread your face or think of you as untrustworthy? These, too, are signs you may lack some skills in social signaling.
What can be done?
The only evidence-based treatment designed to specifically target maladaptive overcontrol is RO-DBT. RO-DBT is an outpatient treatment consisting of weekly individual sessions, weekly skills-training groups/classes, and phone coaching as needed, lasting approximately 30 weeks. While traditional DBT emphasizes behaviors that are typically overlearned or compulsively engaged in by people with maladaptive overcontrol (i.e. avoiding conflict, restrain from acting on impulses, delaying gratification, distress tolerance, increase organization), RO-DBT necessarily teaches different behaviors. RO-DBT encourages the practice of disinhibition, participation without planning, being more open to feedback, and emotional expressions.
What you can do now?
It is understandable if it is hard to seek treatment of this magnitude. It also may be hard to find RO-DBT trained therapists as this is a newly developed treatment (based on years of research). Fortunately, you can begin taking small active steps towards engaging in Radical Openness. Here are some ideas:
1. Try to let go of preconceived ideas of what should be. For example: if you are constantly upset that something was not done correctly, can you look for a possibility that another way to do the task is also correct? Celebrate the diversity of what the world has to offer that you miss out on when you think you already have the answers.
2. You can become more open to the feedback of others, even if it means letting go of your quest for perfection. When your partner tells you that they get upset every time you re-fold the laundry they just folded, can you just listen and learn from their experience despite an urge to dismiss it, deny, justify, or defend your actions? Ask yourself: is my need for the towels to be folded perfectly getting in the way of what is most effective for this relationship? Is there something here to learn?
3. Practice playing! Be silly, move your face and body in ways that are silly. Put on music and dance around, laugh out loud, flap your arms and “bock” like a chicken in your living room. Just let loose and engage in a silly moment without planning it out.
If you believe you or a family member is suffering from maladaptive overcontrol in response to painful emotions, you can always seek out professional help of a therapist familiar with RO-DBT. It takes time and effort, but these are behaviors that can be learned and practiced, helping improve social connections, live more flexibly, and foster an openness to all that life has to offer.

What Do You Believe Dialectical Behavioral Training Programs
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) training is education for mental health professionals interested in offering DBT to their clients. App for mac productivity. It provides information for experienced care providers on how to use this therapeutic approach, and is typically aimed at care providers who are already qualified and practicing. Numerous trainings and seminars for dialectical behavior therapy training can be found around the world in settings like educational institutions, research centers, and psychotherapy programs.
In dialectical behavior therapy training, care providers learn how to use DBT to work with clients who have borderline personality disorder (BPD), although it can also be applied to the treatment of other personality disorders. This approach to therapy has its roots in cognitive behavior therapy, an approach that works on modifying harmful behaviors to help patients manage their mental illnesses. Patients with BPD often have a history of invalidation and rejection, and DBT provides validation and acceptance as part of the practice to keep patients in therapy, rather than making them feel invalidated by the therapy, which can force them to drop out.
There are two different components to DBT, and both are covered in dialectical behavior therapy training. The first is psychotherapy, in the form of individual sessions with patients and their care providers, both in person and over the phone. Patients typically keep diaries and charts, set goals, and work with their therapists to identify and modify behaviors. The first priority is a reduction in self-harming behaviors, followed by those which are considered therapy interfering, and then work on improving the patient's quality of life.
This is paired with regular group sessions for skills training in different areas of life. Dialectical behavior therapy training emphasizes the team nature of the treatment by working with therapists in groups as they start to develop strategies for working with patients in groups and one-on-one. Patients and therapists work cooperatively in an allied relationship in DBT. This can differ from some other kinds of therapeutic relationships where the therapist may be an absolute authority, rather than a cooperative partner.
Therapists in dialectical behavior therapy training learn about the issues specific to caring with patients who have BPD, and discuss ways to avoid and minimize problems that may arise during therapy. Therapists assume the best about their patients and stress that all patients are working on self improvement. Their patients cannot fail at the therapy as a whole although they may have off days or weeks. The therapists also stress affirmation and support through techniques like meditation and mindful thinking, to help their patients deal with the sometimes overwhelming emotions associated with BPD.

only
for
Padawan’s
Like,
you
don’t
seem
to
have
one
So yeah
Grievous
probably killed a lot of children
There
are
so
many
Maybe
don’t
send
children
to fight
your battles
Why
Would Dooku
want to set a
trap for his best general
Minion disposing
Tea?
Also, why are you
playing
into it?
Like,
fair enough,
don’t turn down free
Intel
But,
you could set a trap
and
be doing other things
Like hunting down
Vice Roy
it doesn’t
make
sense
“Are
we
the
bait
or
is
grie
-vous
the
-bait,”
Good
question
Definitely grievous though
He was clearly
offered up
as a
distraction
From
Vice Roy
We
must
consider
who the trap
is for
Grievous
You’re
supposed
to
take
him
out
Your
droid
is
track
ing
an
in
coming
ship
Here
we
go
Match
es
the
descrip
tion
Keep
out
of
sight
Whoa
whoa
hold
up
Why
are
they
calling
and
answering
to
you
These
are
Raden’s
troopers
Dude
has
literally
hijacked
his
whole
life
Dude
just
kick
him
Like
fourth
time
but
,seriously;
Capturing
him
could
turn
the
tide
of the
war
They’re
literally
handing
him
to you
on a
silver
platter
Dude - needs a break
If
he doesn’t know we’re
here
Instantly
down to
do
Dooku’s
Dirty
Work
“We
need
a
plan,”
That’s
what
he
just
said
Whelp
That’s
neat
Cool
Mood
lighting
works
Guards
Does he even know what
happened?
Or
did
Sidious/Dooku
set up
this
elaborate
trap
while
he
was
out
And
he’s
just
coming
home
like;
Why
is
the
place
so
heckin
trashed
Whelp
Dick
Dude
didn’t sign up for this
Welcome
home
general
Half willing to give it to you
Whelp
*Oh*
Cough
ing
Don’t
let
him
cut
the
line
Whelp
Heck
He’s
Trying
“ Don’t make me destroy you,”
If they try to foreshadow that ear
lier
No
Bad
Ter
rible
Whelp
Seriously
did they just
reattach his
legs??
Also,
They really did not bring anything else to capture him
with
Besides
cables
To
Grab
And nothing to tie him up
with
How did they
think
this was going to
go?
Argh
Just got
slap
stick
ed
Haha
“Pack
him
up”
?
Whelp
Dude
they
are
just
knocked
out
Whelp
Neat
Walking
a little
funny
Whelp
The clones get in the way
No
you
didn’t
bring
anything
to
restrain
him
with
“Taken
him,”
Dude he just said
“taken”
Not like he said
“killed”
The most objectionable thing he said
in that
was
blaming
the clones
for his failure
And
clearly
that
isn’t
your
issue
Narrowing of the eyes was a
good
reaction
(Pretty sure the darkness is
Him putting unwonton pressure
and guilt tripping
(Gas
lighting)
He’s just too much of a
coward
to say anything
because he can be held
accountable
At the
fifth
thing
Let’s
tend
to
the
wounded
Good
job
reflect
ing
mate
Whelp
Docter
where are you?
Don’t
be upset with me
master
Geez
Dude does need a
break
Even
his
own
lair
is
toxic
Conversation
Rrgh
Look
Aww
Spare
parts
Off
Body
guards
Remotely
deactivated
for
a
re-charge
Oh
so they weren’t killed
Gosh
dude came back to
A bunch of droids
laying
dead on the ground
Like;
“These.. aren’t. mine,”
Dude
is
having
a
tough
day
Argh
Not
good
Good
Lock down the
Perimeter
Good for
him
Whelp
Looks,
Better
Whelp
Watching
Yeah, those guys are dead from
grievous
He wacked them with metal claws
Those
guys
don’t
have
a
single piercing mark on them
Nor
dented
helmet
Not ready to take on grievous
No one is
Dude has
robotic
arms
It’s time
we
retreated
Make sure to bring something to
restrain him
next time
Whelp
Grievous isn’t doing anything
Good
for him
“ You are
not going anywhere,”
Well, he tried
He WAS
just given
An
ultimatum
from his boss
Gotta
stop
caring
about
those
things
“ Guess
we’ll have to fight
after all,”
Or
blow open the
door
Or
sizzle
it
open
with
your
light
sticks
Lots
of
options
Bring
scout
Aight
Whelp
those guys are dead
Also
how did they even find
them?
Okay, that one makes sense because he was parked literally 5 feet from the base
Fair
Game
Get out of there R6
Good for him
Whelp
That one
guy...
Whelp...
Yet
Good
for
him
Of
R6
You told him to
leave
Dick
You surprise attack him
Call hypocrite, fair fight
Aaw, he’s
nice
Fair
Whelp
Shit
Straight to the point
Doom
Man
-sion
Here
we
come
Whelp
Dude with the force
can’t lift one guy
Well
General
Dude one trap
and you’re ready to call it quits
Lame
We’ve seen the lower levels of your home
No you haven’t
You were on ground level
And you only just saw anything below that
now
“ we’re not impressed,”
Dude speak for
yourself
Also,
fun
Good
way
to
heal
“Good, Good, Jedi,”
This should be entertaining
- way to heal-
“You shall provide
sport for me,”
Like;
That
Whelp
Good
time
to
entertain
our
guests
He’s
a
good
host
Whelp
Dude
has
a
dinosaur
And
bots
Dude
level
spiked
for
a
moment
Hmm
Nice
Oof
That
sounds
painful
Armor
Patches
“Contrary to your belief
I have other things to do,”
Good
for
him
He rans
a med channel
“ go see to it my
repair,”
Implaments
(?)
*Impale
Ments
There may be
some discomfort
But I’m pretty sure
he was already uncomfortable
Argh
No sedatives
Off
Weak
link
Whelp
Surprised
his pistol
did anything
Like seriously
even the swords would take
a few
whacks
There we go
stabbing it with a sword
Your
knight
instinct
Whelp
And that clown just became the damsel
Whelp
Whelp
Fail
Guess
he’s
dead
Or
broke
something
Splat noises
are kind of
humorous
So it could just be a
broken
nose
Great
Whelp
Instinct
Grievous is going to pay for this
Dude he made a humorous
“Splat”
sound
“Splat”
is not
a
death
sound
It
is
a
broken
nose
sound
“Destroy
him,”
I understand your pain
No, this is the time to take the kid away from the
bad situation
(Or actually give him the
don’t kill things talk)
That’s the better option
(Since he is still an adult and
can make his decision)
“ but you forget your teachings
Nadar,”
Not like that
That is how you get
hit in the face
But in this war
strength prevails
He literally
does have a point
You two survived because of
“superior genetics”
You’ve literally been
hustling him since day one
And revenge is fine
in terms of accountability
If someone stabs you,
You’re allowed to stab
him back
Abusers?
Get their
abuse
back
Specifically in Murder
The dead
isn’t alive
to take revenge
And while he is right
that accountability is better
That murder doesn’t
equal murder
Because of
the belief
That all (human)
Sentient life
Inherently makes
the world better
By the possibility of them
contributing good
Which is why
I advocate
accountability
The way
dude is handling it
is shitty
Firstly; all those present to the body are considered
enablers, if
they
enable
murder
And
everyone
who
sees
the
body
has
to
be
on
high
alert
And
accountability
on
sight
Because
if
you
five rules
A
Murder
-er...
Point being dude should.
shut the fuck up and
help him find this dude
The rules have changed
Yes, yes they have
“ perhaps you are the one that has changed,”
Shut up toxic
Dick
Enabling selfish dick
“ come now,”
He realized he fucked up
“ We
need to move
now,”
There’s
no
saving
that
Whelp
Skipped
past
that
Looks
better
“Gor,”
He
named
it
Oh
Where
are
they
Yeah wait what happened with the
doors?
“Gor...”
Aww
He
sounds
so
sad
Argh
Oof
That
pissed him off
Incoming
message from Count
Dooku
Oh,
Good
The Jedi have infiltrated your Lair
Damn
He
really
didn’t
tell
the
man
about
anything
Your
recent
defeats
at
their
hands
Wow,
Dude can Literally not get a
break
You just called him
five minutes
ago
Fuck you
He looks so
Tired
And
Done
“Reassess
your
effectiveness,”
Oh
that’s bound to piss him
off
That you actively did
that
I’m expecting a face
Heel turn
“You”
There
we
go
“ you
deactivated
my
Guards,”
Oh....
[I assumed he just
forgot]
“ You let the Jedi
in,”
No actually
they found a magic brick
Unless Count Dooku just so happen
to press
the button
at
the
same
time
Which
if so
nice
Makes
dude’s overconfidence
even sweeter
“ so you would testing me,”
Dick
And he’s starting to look
It
Oops
He’s pissed now
Like I know this is
culminating in a fight scene
But I would just love
if just walked downstairs.
And was like
yes
I will go with you
Out
of
Spite
“ i’ll play your little game,”
In your condition you need your
rest
I will rest when the Jedi
are dead
Oh so that’s how they capture
him
Maybe after he kills the
young one
Sentry
Those robots do
nothing
Whelp
Control
Room
He’s
Done
Oh,
what do we have
here?
Oh,
this is what he does?
Master
the Jedi are about to enter the control room
Snarky
little
shit
“Nadar,
get
inside,”
Yeah,
No
Ahh
Nadar
Cutting
out
the
abuser
Whelp
Absolutely
can
kick
ass
Surprised
no
one
who
understands
accountability
“Greetings
young
Jedi,”
Greetings
Boomer
“How
Ex
citing,”
Neat
And
Meta
Defeat
us
all
You’re one person
but I accept the understanding
Get him
Master
Oh
he gets to see his apprentice die on the
big screen
Wait, where is the other
Jedi
Where-
Oh no
Self-awareness
Oww
But that wouldn’t kill a
determined
Whelp he accepted death
“No,”
Yep, he’d rather die than live in the world
you made
Enabler
(Technically;
Both of you)
Welp I will kill you all
Do you hear me Jedi
Do you hear me
Fair
game
Enablers
kill
enablers
No
one
wins
“ R6
is that you?”
How?!
Meet me at the
south landing
platform
I’m coming for you next
Fisto
Whelp, i’ll be
gone by the time you get here
Dick
Whelp
R6, I’m at the
platform
Going
somewhere
How?!
But
also OK
Whelp
Hmm
Fan Technique should actually help in the
fog
Whelp
Pawn In Dooku’s game
That power will only
consume you
Like you
Flaunting it
Right now
Unless his battery
gives out...
Whelp
Ok
Cheating
How
quickly
power
can
switch
hands
Whelp
Enabled
Expect
ed
Accom
plishment
So
there’s
room
improvement
Oof
“His heart was in the right place,”
Not
accountability
“ to answer power
�� with power
It’s not the Jedi
way,”
HAHAHaHa
What’s the title of this
again?
Star
WARS
The
Clone
WARS
It takes
two to tango
Feckin hypocrites
In this WAR
HAHAha
“ A danger there Is,”
I feel bad
for the
voice actor
that had to say that
with a
straight face
Nailed it
perfectly well
“Oof losing who we are,”
Oh, that scene
Chills.
Oh
I REALLY liked this episode
It was funny
self-aware
and even
had some good moments with the villains
Also
They killed a
motherfucking dragon
