#He's just gonna wait for Kathryn to do something

[lovewithmary]

I need more Alex x reader so maybe a childhood friends to lovers moment, but she’s a redbull driver 👀

Just friends where everyone but them knows they’re bound to be forever and everyone’s like when are they gonna get together. Cute snapshots of just them being sickenly inlove and oblivious. Maybe reader wins a wdc and Alex is so proud he doesn’t care that they’re in public he has to show how much he loves her and kisses her. Or maybe this happens and when one of them is interviewed they reveal they’ve been together for like 8 years at that point of something and everyone’s like jaw dropped shocked because they thought they weren’t together and just pining. Turn it on to everyone else.

Voyager rewatch s2 ep26: Basics pt 1

Voyager's first season finale cliffhanger! While I hated cliffhangers back in the day (waiting months to find out what happened was not fun, let me tell you) I think this one was pretty good in general, and it certainly set up some very high stakes to be resolved in the next season opener.

I'm not a fan of the Seska baby plot, and I honestly don't see how they wouldn't have figured out it was a trick, but I guess suspension of disbelief is required here. If I were Janeway, I'd never risk my entire ship to go rescue some baby who's most likely not even in any danger, but I guess when someone tells you they love you, it puts you in a weird bind where you kind of have to give them leeway to go back for the kid they didn't want with the Cardassian spy you both hate. (But yet, no such concern for the Threshold lizard babies- why didn't they go back for them??? Huh??? Why are Cardassian babies so much more important than lizard babies?? Answer me that, Kathryn! And I see Commander 'fuck them kids' Chakotay whistles a different tune when it's his unwanted space children they want to leave behind! Dude really hates Tom Paris that much, doesn't he?? What did he ever do to you, Chakotay?? I'm joking, but also a little bit serious.)

We get some Suder scenes, where, thanks to his mind meld with Tuvok, he's now just a weird ass dude obsessed with gardening, which, somehow, makes him even creepier.

If you ignore how stupid the actual plot itself is, the rest of the episode, where they try to figure out a way through Kazon space, and come up with ingenious ways of tricking the Kazon into thinking they have more ships, is actually pretty interesting stuff. (It could have done without the zany gag of accidentally projecting the Doctor into space in the middle of the battle- the whole episode has been pretty serious, and it was a little too incongrous to stick a silly gag in there while shit is otherwise getting very real.)

The part where the Kazon take over the ship is pretty hair raising stuff, I don't think we'd ever seen anyone capture a Starfleet ship on screen before. It definitely did not need the gross gendered violence thrown in there though- a bad guy hitting a Starfleet captain on their own ship is enough to show villiany, we didn't need the 'you're just a woman, shut up' bs in there too, that was just gratuitous misogyny. We've already established the Kazon are misogynists, there was absolutely no reason to put it in there. And did they really have to have Seska making a false rape accusation? The misogynist trope that women just go around making false rape accusations to get what they want is only bolstered by stuff like this, and it's harmful and unnecessary. We already know that Seska is bad, they didn't need to add that at all. (And anyway, a patriarchal society like the Kazon probably wouldn't even care or believe her, so they should have made up another reason for Cullah to want the kid.)

Leaving the crew stranded on a planet with no Voyager, no tech, a bunch of volcanos, some possibly unfriendly natives, AND a large snakey-dragony creature looming in the background seems almost like overkill in terms of having enough peril to place them in, but I'll go with it. Everything moved along at a good pace, and having the ship stolen is a hell of a cliffhanger. Seeing the Kazon fly Voyager away from her crew is deeply sad, and you know seeing that would have just lit a fire in Janeway and company to work even harder to get it back. And they do have a small sliver of hope of rescue- Tom Paris is out there in a shuttle, which was presumed, but not confirmed, to be destroyed (because of course Tom volunteered to fly a shuttle through a space battle to go back and get help) and Suder is still on board, having hidden in the vents when the Kazon takeover, and he said he wants to do something for the ship, so he's probably gonna fall back on what he knows best: murder! But like, its for a good cause this time- he's gonna kill those Kazon and present them to Janeway llke a cat bringing it's owner a dead mouse lol.

So yeah, even though I had a few issues in this ep, it's still an edge of your seat cliffhanger where you have to see what happens next.

Tl;dr: Some questionable story choices, but done with enough panache that it compels you to find out what happens in the second part asap.

Transcript under the cut

Arya: See? I told you that getting out of the house would do you good.

Casper: Yeah, I guess it helped a little.

Arya: Kat, how're you feeling?

Kathryn: Uh, I feel fine. Just a bit nervous about later...

Casper: Same.

Arya: It's gonna be okay Kylo and Valeria are going to be working together, so I'm sure they'll see something.

Kathryn: God, I hope so.

Casper: Something's better than nothing, right?

Arya: Yeah.

Kathryn: It better be good news.

Arya: It's gonna be something. My gut's telling me we're gonna find something. Come on, let's go. We don't wanna keep them waiting.

-

Sofia: -I mean, that's fair and all, but how are we going to prove that it was her?

Chloe: I'm still figuring that out. But it's weird how she crash lands onto Earth, rocks up at his place, only for him to go missing a few months later.

Sofia: Yeah, that is weird.

Chloe: Oh? Speaking of the Devil.

Casper: Oh, fuck.

Chloe: So where is he, then?

Casper: I don't know.

Chloe: Don't lie to us, I bet your "people" have him locked up somewhere.

Casper: You've got to be fucking joking.

Sofia: Wait, Chlo- Didn't they get into a fight recently? [Hushed] She probably set him up to be taken.

Casper: Wow.

Chloe: [Gasp] Oh, yeah! Wasn't your alien friend involved with that?

Casper: He's missing too!

Chloe: Is her, though? Or is he just hiding to avoid suspicion?

Kathryn: You're both fucking delusional.

Chloe: Do not get involved.

Kathryn: So you expect me to stand there while you accuse Casper of something so fucking heinous, and not say something? Yeah, you can get to fuck, honestly.

Casper: Why are you so obsessed with him?!

Chloe: Obsessed with him? [Scoff] Can I not just simply be concerned about someone's wellbeing, regardless of our history?

Casper: Cut the fucking bullshit. We all know he wants nothing to do with you. Why bother?

Chloe: Well, he wants nothing to do with you either since he's clearly been avoiding you lately.

Casper: He needed space, which I gave. Unlike you who's been following his every move.

Chloe: I have not!

Casper: Hey! While we're on the topic of you being a fucking stalker, who's to say you're not involved in his disappearance?

Arya: Cas...

Chloe: To even accuse me of doing such thing is disgusting. Especially since the accusation is coming from an actual creature who was no business being here.

Sofia: Her kind are probably planning on taking over.

Arya: Watch your fucking mouths, both of you.

Kathryn: D'you know what? Do us all a favour, and take your stupid fucking conspiracy theories, and shove it up your arse. Erwin Pries wouldn't even want to hear the bullshit that's coming out of your mouths.

Sofia, quietly to Chloe: Who's Erwin Pries?

Kathryn: Just fuck off! Both of you.

Casper: I fucking hate her! I did nothing to her, and she's done nothing, but give me hell for existing. What did I do wrong?

Arya: Listen to me. She's only targeting you because she's still hung up on Johnny, and she sees you as a threat. She tried it with Salem, too.

Arya: That girl is a nobody. Don't let her get to you, hunny.

Kathryn: I swear to God, if I ever see her again, I'm setting the bitch on fire.

supernatural s12e16 ladies drink free (w. meredith glynn)

s12e16 / hannibal s2e9 shiizakana

okay so it's kind of generic dead boy and girl in snow but the fur on her jacket and the positions and the grunty growling presumably werewolf just made me think hey it's a way less gory version of the hannibal scene

MICK My report to the home office ran long. We've had our hands full since... (Dean and Mick look down at a blood stain on the floor) Well, best not to dwell on that. DEAN Wow. That is some world-class repression. You are British. MICK We prefer to call it a stiff upper lip.

you're one to talk there, dean

SAM Wait a second. You killed them all? Even the ones that weren't hurting anyone? MICK Sorry? SAM I mean, werewolves aren't like most monsters. Some can control it. I mean, we – we have a buddy got bit. Nothing but beef hearts ever since. MICK And you trust him? Well, killing is a fundamental need for werewolves. And monsters don't just stop being monsters. DEAN Well, Garth did.

was wondering when this would come up

poor sammy. but dean's too excited for free and fancy shit. thanks for throwing us a bone, meredith

so old mick here lied about the girl being bitten, actual crisis of conscience or setup for having to kill her later to prove his point or...

(yay it's claire/kathryn keeper of my favorite hair on the show)

CLAIRE So, your foreign exchange student is totally lame. DEAN Yeah. He's Sam's best friend. (Sam sighs deeply) They're like nerd soul mates.

you jealous, dean-o

why is the moon literally being erased by cg, forgot to make the cloud?

secret third option, return to the hospital to kill her quietly before she's even turned. but he's sorry! oh how convenient she turned right as he was about to kill her so he had to fend off her attack

CLAIRE Sam, no offense, but who do you think the kids are gonna wanna talk to? Me, or some old skeezer?

skeezer lol

DEAN Yeah? I used to think the same thing. Well, here's a little tip. Things aren't just black and white out here.

took a minute but he came around

should have seen her getting bitten coming but i 100% didn't

SAM Mick, you killed a kid. We're not angry. We're done!

he gonna stick to that?

there's something about the way she said "unless i break out" that really worked. and the music was appropriate and far enough behind the dialogue it wasn't obtrusive

MICK The subject died in agony. Sorry. CLAIRE Yeah. Maybe second time's a charm. DEAN Hey, no, no. You don't get a vote in this. CLAIRE It's my life. I get all the votes. DEAN Sam, you wanna back me up here? SAM It's her life.

of all people, sam's gonna back her up on this topic 24/7

dean really in full-on protective dad mode this episode. i must have learned this little werewolf lore tidbit in fic and didn't realize because i honestly thought we already knew this sire business, or made some inference from the vampires 🥴

kathryn newton is so good as claire

they remembered to put the moon in a spot that vaguely looked like it was obscured by clouds, good job team

very special episode where mick learns things aren't black and white, after all

CLAIRE Right. Eat me, Teen Wolf.

lol tell him, claire!

BARTENDER It's not like I want to do this. My pack, we were happy. We didn't hurt anyone. And then hunters with weapons that I've never seen before, they show up and... take out 20 of us, just like that.

ha ha so bmol is to blame for it all because they went after the veggie wolves, i snorted. hammering us over the head with their point again

and the very special episode where claire learns again she's loved by her family and not in fact better off alone

always laugh this show makes blood draws happen in any old place, just slam a needle in, bing bang boom done

wish they'd leave her hair what i assume is her natural texture (wavy), whenever it's overly Done like this it doesn't really vibe with what she's usually got going on. was gonna bitch if dean didn't get a hug goodbye from her :p

really glad they didn't kill her off. feel like if this was in the early seasons, she would have died for the manpain of it all

Lotta Stuff

The Annecy cool-news train keeps a-rollin', while I'm still reeling in from the delight that is ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE.

Speaking of SPIDER-VERSE, more on Sony Animation's 2D animated Genndy Tartakovsky adult comedy FIXED was unleashed, though still no release date or how it'll be released - despite strong implication that it's bound for... The big screen! It's going to be completed in September, too. Right around the corner. I wouldn't be surprised if this dog takes BEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSE's 3/29/2024 release date, giving the crew the time they need to perfect the closer to this multiverse-spanning spider trilogy.

We got some of the major cast (such as Adam Devine, Idris Elba, and Olivia "Liv" Octavius herself, Kathryn Hahn), and Tartakovsky continues to describe it as more classic-like, an R-rated LADY AND THE TRAMP and ONE HUNDRED AND ONE DALMATIANS. "A very sweet, charming, sincere story of friendship and romance.” Basically, everything they revealed and everything they've been saying make this sound like a winner. Plus it's Tartakovsky, you can't go wrong. We get this - and possibly his action movie BLACK KNIGHT later on down the line - instead of his POPEYE... It's been hinted that some legendary animators have been brought to this project, too. Ones that the crew didn't think they'd get... Intriguing...

Also, it could be the first major-release theatrical 2D animated movie that isn't based on a beloved property or a sequel since... THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG? Because since then... It's been films like WINNIE THE POOH, TV series-based fare like SPONGE OUT OF WATER (mixed media) and MY LITTLE PONY: THE MOVIE. KLAUS was a Netflix film, though it did have a few screenings in theaters.

If it goes to theaters, and does pretty well relative to the budget (I'd imagine this didn't cost more than, say, $30m to make?)... Well, I don't know if it'd move the needle on more 2D films being made, let alone more adult 2D films being made... But it'd be notable and quite nice for this type of film.

In the world of streaming comes a Netflix-exclusive DreamWorks animated film written by Charlie Kaufman, of all people! (He did do uncredited rewrites on KUNG FU PANDA 2, to be fair, one of my all-time favorites.) Directed by Sean Charmatz, in his feature directorial debut, ORION AND THE DARK (based on the book of the same name) sounds like - seemingly - a whole-hog meditation on fear and the dark and the beauty the night can be... Wait why is this a streaming movie, then? I get that it's being produced up at Mikros, like the studio's CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS was, but I feel it should be a theatrical release. Sounds every bit as worthy of big screens as RUBY GILLMAN is. Either way, it's interesting to see DreamWorks having two theatrical titles a year (a sequel and a non-sequel), and also beefing up the slate with smaller, quirkier Netflix pictures. As expected, the look of the film is stylized and cartoony.

The teaser for Pixar's ELIO is finally here, from COCO co-director Adrian Molina. Just in time for ELEMENTAL's release. It looks like the colorful and fun-looking space adventure that was promised at this past D23, with neat environment and creature design, and alien humor to spare. I'm here for more space adventure animated movies. There's something rather amusing about this trailer debuting when virtually everything else on Disney's whole slate of live-action/VFX-heavy pictures got shuffled... Like almost aggressively so. AVATAR 5 pushed all the way back to 2031 (what the hell are our lives gonna look like at the end of this year alone??), STAR WARS here, Marvel there... Meanwhile, the animated pictures remain in place... Pixars in March and June, WDASes in November... Quite something.

Elsewhere, Jorge Gutierrez expands on MAYA AND THE THREE and, surprisingly, his THE BOOK OF LIFE... A new story set in the same universe, perhaps a new dynamic way of doing a shared universe that won't feel as complicated and tried-and-true as other ones out there? Good to see him getting to play around with that world of his, in addition to other projects he has lined up, including an adult dog cartoon of his own: I, CHIHUAHUA!

THE SPIDER WITHIN also sounds great: Horror and an abstract portrayal of anxiety attacks by way of the SPIDER-VERSE series, and one that I - an anxiety-sufferer - am game to check out. I'm guessing they'll put this on the Blu-ray/4K set of ACROSS... I mean I hope. That they didn't say where it'll be released colors me skeptical.

New WDAS short ONCE UPON A TIME UPON A STUDIO could either be a fun tribute to the studio's 100-year legacy, or just a cynical self-congratulatory cameo stew. I like that they're using hand-drawn for this, but there's something kind of... I don't know... Off-putting? About a studio celebrating its legacy in hand-drawn animation while... Actively not pursuing hand-drawn animation for feature films in the foreseeable future... It's only used for maybe shorts and Disney+ projects. I know they keep saying "We're gonna do 2D!" or "The director chooses CG or 2D", but I also know that that's bunk... Until an actual 2D feature is greenlit and is actually in production, then I'll believe it. Also... Making use of previously-unused audio of Robin Williams recorded during production of ALADDIN... Given what hell Disney put Williams through with that film, and since it's been almost a decade since Williams' death... I'm also a bit struck by that. I like the premise of this short fine, and it's cool to see characters spanning over 60 films and a plethora of shorts, but... given how Disney can be a little excessive in their self-congratulations and such, on their centennial year? We'll see. What I want to hear about is what WDAS is releasing Thanksgiving 2024... That's where my mind's at.

[baylardo]

the questions that r currently TEARING ME APART if i do threshold au with prodigy,,,,,,,,,,,,, and ngl they r SUBSTANTIALLY hindering me from wanting to develop something like,,, TOO fleshed out rn bc theres too many neglected/unaddressed variables and WHO KNOOOOOWWWWWS if theyre gonna come up in the series,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

would hologram janeway be normal pilled janeway or would she be thresholdy for one,,,,,,,,, like itd have to involve potentially knowing WHEN they make hologram janeway, this first ep says she was made???? i guess for chakotay’s mission,,,,,,, which is like ok then WHY BUN HAIR hahaha (iconic,,,, but at what cost logistically SIIIIGGGGHHHH,,,,,,,,,,) if it’s bun hair its like DEBATABLY pre-threshold janeway and UNFORTUNATELY IT MATTERS LOL.

and im also weirdly reliant and curious on if or how they’d address C7,,,,,,,, like that would determine their initial AIRS for me with each other like they seemed SUPER PLAT in that first ep,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, AND THIS EQUALLY UNFORTUNATELY MATTERS because of THE TRIPLETS LOLLLLLL and figuring out where THEY’D be during all of this, like i highly doubt theyd be with chakotay OR janeway on their missions (sad). and again likeeee depending on things for me itll determine hoooow theyd be situated, whether kathryn AND/OR chakotay remained in their lives after returning to earth, who they were staying with, etc. theres just a lot of variables i wanna wait on SIIIIGGGGHHHHH and itll have to take seeing them apart and them together,,,,,,, misery haha. like they could be with tom and b’elanna, they could be with gretchen, they could be with seven IDK LOL. 

maybe even depending on the nature of chakotay’s mission to return to the DQ i could excuse them being out there with HIM. i highly doubt it but siiigh ILL HUMOR IT BECAUSE I REALLY THINK HE’S THE PRIMARY PARENT,,,,,,, and again depending on kathryn and chakotays dynamic,,,, the hologram janeway seems like itd be SOOOOOOO PETTY TO HAVE LOL <3 but i wanna WAIT til i see WHERE THAT BOY AT like he could be stranded somewhere specifically isolated and on his own or something,,,,,,,,,

[fiadorable]

For the WIP game, I have questions about all of them! If I *have* to narrow it down to one, though, I'm gonna go with '5 times pike.' There are so many ways that one could go! (Also, I saw 'janeway naps on the beach' and my immediate thought was that 'good for her' meme 😂)

omg you would pick the one I have the least written for to ask about 😂

5 times pike's actual title is Five Times Captain Pike Accidentally Avoided His Fate and the One Time He Didn't (original, right?). I'm still trying to figure out how the multiverse is going to work so I don't even really have anything more to share, unfortunately.

However I do have a little something for Janeway naps on the beach, which you can find below 😊

ask me about my wip game

It was unseasonably cool that day. Not enough for the weather net to flag the temp and correct it, but enough that the sand was warm and the Gulf almost uncomfortably cold. Chakotay waded in from the open water, rubbing his hand back and forth across his head to fling the water from the regulation short strands, and gratefully accepted a towel and a cold drink from Gretchen Janeway.

"How's the tournament going?" he asked as he draped the towel across his shoulders. He gulped down the water as he turned to observe the beach volleyball game in progress a few meters down the beach from where Gretchen had set up her beach towel and chair.

"The Parises are up by one, but Annika hasn't served yet," Gretchen said.

Surprised, Chakotay turned back. "I though the agreement was for her to play on the Paris team since Hannes plays professionally."

"That was before Phoebe saw Julia's serve."

He watched as Julia Paris made a running dive to save an expertly spiked ball from Seven, allowing B'Elanna a chance to tip it over the net and trigger another few minutes of volleying. They were playing 3v3, Phoebe, her husband Hannes, and Seven against Julia, B'Elanna, and Tom. Several of the Paris and Janeway cousins gathered around the sidelines, cheering as control of the ball returned to the Janeways. Seven delivered a devastating serve to the Parises.

"And now they're tied again."

Chakotay turned back to look at Gretchen and saw that she hadn't even looked up from her PADD, and he smiled at the familiar amused but distracted look on her face. "Working vacation for you as well?" he asked.

"Quantum mechanics finals wait for no one," she said, making a few slashing marks with a stylus before looking up. "You didn't think Kathryn got all of her bad working habits from her father just because he was the admiral and I'm the professor, did you?"

Chakotay chuckled and said, "Even if I had been under that impression, it would have been corrected the moment I watched you two debating the nature of the Q as you polished off a carafe of coffee at 2300 last night." He turned his gaze back to the game and frowned. "Speaking of, where is Kathryn? Did she get called back to headquarters with Admiral Paris?"

"Oh, no. She's got the baby in the shade over yonder," Gretchen said, turning in her chair and pointing to the tree line behind her.

He followed her gaze until he found the erstwhile captain. She was stretched out on a lounging beach chair, carefully shaded by both the towering palm trees and an over-sized umbrella. Sunglasses obscured her eyes, but he could tell from the tilt of her head and the utter relaxation of her body that was out cold. A teenager sat next to her idly perusing a paper publication, also making notes on a PADD. "Don't any of you Janeways know how to take a vacation?" he teased.

"Hmm? Oh, that's Rebecca, Phoebe's eldest. She burns in the sun just like Kathryn." Gretchen's face softened as she watched her daughter sleep. "I haven't seen Katie sleep this much in a very long time," she said, softly.

"Spirits know I've done my fair share of napping since our return as well," he said, keeping his voice deliberately light. "In fact, a nap in the shade doesn't sound too bad. I think I'll join them."

"Mm," Gretchen said aloud, but he heard the other ten things she left unsaid. "You were a good first officer, Mr. Chakotay. I'm glad Kathryn had you to rely on our there. But this is your vacation, too. You are allowed to stand down your watch."

She didn't mean it in a bad way, he knew. "Mrs. Janeway, there's nowhere else I would rather be than right here, right now, in this moment." He pointed to the shade. "Except for maybe right there."

a real hero.

Aaron Hotchner x Gender Neutral Reader

a/n: so about five of you asked about 6x06, devil’s night, when jack dresses up as his dad for halloween. when y’all make the call, i deliver! here’s just over a thousand words of total fluff, thrown together in about an hour (please forgive my errors and tell me what you think!). this stands alone, but i’m throwing it in the ajf pile for good measure, as well!

words: 1.2k warnings: language

summary: “we're taught to expect unconditional love from our parents, but i think it is more the gift our children give us. it's they who love us helplessly, no matter what or who we are.” ― kathryn harrison, the kiss

masterlist | a joyful future masterlist | ajf faq | requests closed!

“..today it rivals only Christmas in terms of popularity.” Spencer and Emily come into the round table room, and you suppress a smile. 

If you know anything about Spencer, it’s that his love for Halloween knows no bounds. 

Emily sits down next to you, explaining, “All I asked was what he was planning to do this weekend.” 

You hide your laugh in your file, looking at Hotch over the top of the folder. There’s the smallest pull in the corner, the threat of a dimple. He looks up at you, and the dimple appears for just a split second before disappearing again. 

+++

Aaron’s anxious as you all wait for the go-ahead from air traffic control. He keeps checking his watch, and his leg bounces under the table. You’re the only two still in the cabin, the others took two other cars and are apparently taking their damn time to arrive from the precinct. 

You throw a Hershey’s kiss at him. He jumps and looks over at you. 

“What’s wrong?”

He sighs. “I’ve never missed a Halloween with Jack. I’m just nervous we aren’t going to make it back in time, is all.” 

You offer him a little smile. “You’ll make it back.” 

Just then, his phone rings and he answers it. “Hotchner.” A smile breaks across his face. “Oh hi, bud. Yeah. We’re almost in the air...Just a couple more hours...What?” He looks at you, and you furrow your brow. “...Let me ask.” 

He covers the mic. “I’d imagine people in their twenties have better ways to spend Halloween than with an over-excited five-year-old and his boring dad, right?”

You snort. “Hell no. I’m in.” 

And it was true - you didn’t have anywhere else better to be, and the lights in your house were already dark and had plans to stay that way to deter trick-or-treaters. There was no better way, in your opinion, than to spend Halloween with an overexcited five-year-old and his (allegedly) boring dad.

He shakes his head with a little smile and returns the phone to his ear. “Yeah, bud. We’re on for the three of us.”

+++

You sit on the floor of Jack’s bedroom, having been dragged in by two of your fingers immediately upon entering the apartment. He told his dad to wait in the dining room and closed the door behind him, so you imagine he has some serious business to discuss with you. 

“I don’t want to be Spiderman.” 

Your brow pinches. “Why not, bud?”

“The costume’s itchy and he’s not a real hero.” 

You hum, thinking. “Are there any real heroes you want to be, or do we want to toss out the hero idea entirely?”

He considers the options carefully, the pinch of his mouth starkly reminiscent of Haley. “I think I want to still be a hero.” 

“Okay. Do you want to come up with some ideas? We still have a little bit of time.”

A little bit of time was pushing it - Aaron wanted to get going before it got too dark out, giving them time for a movie before bed after Jack acquired his haul in the neighborhood. 

An idea comes to him, lighting up his face. “Can you get one of Dad’s ties? They’re…” he looks up, remembering, “...hung up on the front of the bathroom door in his room or inside the closet by the light switch.” 

“Of course.” You kiss his head, shutting the door behind you. You sneak down the hall and open Aaron’s door, trying to be as quiet as possible. 

“You know,” comes a voice from the dining room, “I can hear you?”

You throw your head around the door frame. “No, you can’t!” ...And shut the door behind you.

In Aaron’s room, you find the little hanging tree with all his ties, finding one of the red ones he wears all the time and one of which he has about five near-identical versions, just in case something happened out in the wild. 

You have half an idea of what Jack’s planning, but your only job right now is to follow instructions.

You throw the tie over your shoulder and make a play at sneaking back into Jack’s room while Aaron’s amused huff chases you down the hall. 

Closing the door behind you again, you told up your prize. “I got it.” 

Jack turns around, wearing the suit he got for Haley’s service. It’s only a little small on him, but he’ll probably lose the jacket anyway, working up a sweat even in the chilly Fairfax fall. “I’m gonna be Dad.” 

A little smile pulls at you, and for some reason, there’s part of you that wants to cry a little. Nevertheless, you pull it together quickly, kneeling in front of him to tie the tie. “I think that’s a great idea.” 

Jack puts his little hands over yours. “Can I try it?”

“Mhmm.” You put your hands in your lap, watching him fruitlessly tie knots, trying to get that crisp line Aaron manages every morning. When he gets a little frustrated, you ask, “Do you want some help?”

He nods, looking up and away as you undo his handiwork, giving him a four-in-hand knot that won’t eat him alive. You tighten it just enough to tuck under his collar, smoothing his jacket and fixing the ducktail sticking out of his shirt. 

“Ready?”

He nods, and you open the door. Jack tucks behind your legs. “Dad, don’t look at me!” 

Aaron, ever faithful, has his back turned right where you both left him in the dining room. “I’m not looking! Are you almost ready? ...Need any help?”

You nod at Jack, and he goes into the hallway. “No.”

“Okay.” 

You keep your distance, leaning up against a free spot on the photo wall as Jack steps into the dining room. 

“Whoa,” Aaron says, clearly surprised. “That is definitely not Spiderman.” He looks at you, but you don’t give anything away, a little smile on your face. 

“He’s not a real superhero,” Jack explains. 

“He’s not?” Aaron looks entirely the part of the confused father at the moment, arms crossed, eyebrows raised, a questionable orange-ish sweater. It almost makes you laugh. “Okay. I give up. Who are you supposed to be?”

You can hear the grin in Jack’s voice. “I’m you, Daddy.” 

Aaron’s face softens and he walks over to his son, embracing him before picking him up. He looks at you over Jack’s shoulder. “Was this your idea?”

You shake your head. “All him. I only filched the props.” 

Aaron shakes his head with a little smile you can’t read. Redirecting, he grabs his keys and his wallet with one hand, shoving them in his pocket. “Let’s go get some candy, my little G-Man.”

You grab your coat and Aaron’s from the coat tree, the bucket for Jack’s goods, and follow the boys out the door. You lock the door behind you, finding both of them waiting for you at the end of the apartment hall.

There’s no thought to what the other twenty-somethings are doing tonight. 

Nothing could be better than this.

Transcript under the cut

News Reporter: -Making this the third disappearance this month.

Johnny: Yo, Don. You seen this?

Don: What is it?

Johnny: Another person's gone missing.

Don: Shit.

Johnny: I feel like these people aren't just randomly going missing.

Don: What do you mean?

Johnny: Did you see the article that shared their last posts before they vanished?

Don: The cryptic ones where they're basically talking about how they're in danger?

Johnny: Yeah! That one, and before all of that some of them mentioned finding some weird shit that's been hidden from the public like documents, samples and- Oh shit.

Don: What?

Johnny: I just remembered something...

-

Johnny: I completely forgot I had this until recently.

Don: So... This is what you were on about earlier.

Johnny: Yeah. I found it while I was grabbing supplies for Casper; this was at my family's "abandoned" construction site.

Salem: Why did they abandon it?

Johnny: Found a better location... Something like that.

Cassandra: Right...

Johnny: I actually went back the other day to check it out again, but this time it was completely boarded up. Pretty sure it was being guarded or some shit.

Kylo: Can't say I'm surprised if I'm being honest. Do you still have the photos from the last visit?

Johnny: Yeah, I should do. I'm sure I sent you some, actually.

Kylo: You did.

Kathryn: Wait, Kylo, what's in that folder you just picked up?

Kylo: Looks like a bunch of documents? Let me-

[Paper falls out of the folder]

Kylo: Oh?

Kathryn: What is it?

Kylo: Uh, it looks like it's related to Project MK-Ultra.

Kathryn: MK-Ultra...

Salem: Is that the one where the CIA were undertaking illegal human experimentations and whatnot?

Cassandra: Yeah, it is.

Don: But why is that in there?

Kylo: I'm not sure... Looks like there's some old newspaper articles dating back to 1973 covering the controversy surrounding the CIA, use of LSD and mind control.

Don: Huh...

Kylo: [Flips through pages] There doesn't seem to be anything else in this folder.

Johnny: Did you say mind control?

Kylo: Yeah? Why?

Johnny: I- uh- I remember overhearing parts of a conversation that Casper had with Shi over the phone a while back. Apparently there's this guy who I think is some sort of dictator? I don't know, but from what I heard, he knows about Shi's ability- whatever that is, I don't know the full ins and outs of it.

Johnny: But apparently, he wants to use Shi for this fucked up project that he's got going on.

Cassandra: Wait, isn't he the one who can get into people's heads and basicaly turn their brains into mush?

Johnny: Yeah, and because of that he is also capable of mind control.

Kathryn: Holy shit.

Johnny: He was also talking about how the project usually always starts off with small groups of people disappearing for a period of time, and when they return, they're... different.

Don: Different?

Johnny: Yeah. Different. I didn't hear the rest of that conversation, so I don't know the specifics, but...

Kathryn: But what?

Johnny: Something is definitely going on here, and it has been for a while. Over the past few months, there have been God knows how many reports of "alien abduction", of people going missing for days, or weeks and when they return, they're not the same person they were before they went missing.

Cassandra: Like my Mum...

Johnny: Yeah, like Bella. Like Shiroba.

Kylo, quietly: And they're considered the lucky ones...

Johnny: What?

Kylo: Because not everyone survives. Not everyone is lucky enough to return home.

Johnny: You don't think Shi and Casper are somehow involved, do you?

Kylo: No. I don't think they are.

Don: But it seems that they know about all of this.

Kylo: Yeah... I think we'll need to talk to them about this. See if they can help us figure this shit out.

Johnny: I suppose we could do that.

Kylo: Hey, Zest. Did you manage to speak to Cas?

Johnny: Uh, no. Not yet.

Kylo: [Sigh] Johnny-

Johnny: I'm gonna speak to her! i just- I need to sit down and speak to Shi first, and then I'll speak to her. I'm meeting up with Shi on Tuesday, and I plan on speaking to her later that day.

Don: And then we're gonna ask them about [gestures to the pile] this, right?

Johnny: Yeah, can do.

Kylo: It's just...

Kylo: Time's ticking, Johnny.

Once Upon A Time Rewatch: 6x18 Where Bluebirds Fly

Whoop! Whoop! Zel Zel centric!

The yellow brick road! I wish the characters had an adventure in Oz so we’d get to explore it a bit more like we did Wonderland and Neverland.

Back off! Leave young Zel alone! Is magic not a common thing in Oz?

Aww this friendship is adorable. I kinda wish his name was Boq though to tie in with Wicked’s tin man, but they already included Boq.

It always makes me so sad seeing young Zelena. She was so sweet and her father is just the worst! She deserved so much better. She must have gotten her kindness from the little time she spent with her adoptive mothers, cause goodness knows her other three parents are evil. If she was raised by Cora to be Queen, I’m not sure she’d have had the heart to rule through fear like Cora no doubt would have wanted.

Get off baby Robin, you bitch! 

No you can’t hold her a little longer.

The Black Fairy: “I never grow tired of that new baby smell.” She is so freaking creepy.

She’s manipulating you, Zelly!

To be fair Zelena was almost that level of creepy when it came to Snowing’s baby back in s3. 

Lol. Poor Snow.

Okay. It is pretty adorable that Snow has been planning Emma’s wedding since after the first curse haha.

Help! Snow’s being super adorabubble!!

The fact that Zelena is probably Belle’s closest friend at this point lol. Poor Belle. I wish the others cared about her more but I do enjoy her dynamic with Zelena.

Zelena, don’t do it, girl!

Another entrance to the mines?

Other than Stanum (probably breifly) and briefly Glinda (the two-faced biatch) I don’t think Zelena has ever had any friends. She just had her horrible father growing up and that was it, no wonder she craved love so much. She’s always been alone and has known only hatred for something she can’t control (her magic).

Oh, so the Witch of the North is wicked too? Interesting. I wonder if she fell out with Glinda or Glinda turned on her too. I wanna know more about the Wicked Witch of the North! And heck, I wanna know what happened to the Witch of the East too!

Regina’s come to save sis!

God, these two fighting like children again lol.

Even though they’re fighting, Regina’s instinct is still to protect big sis from falling rock.

Getting married at Granny’s lol. But don’t they end up getting married on top of Granny’s or something?

David still not over Whale. Dude, you almost got Kathryn pregnant! You know what, it’s really messed up that they slept with others while cursed, even though they wouldn’t have if they weren’t under its influence. 

I think that deep down, Zelena just wanted a mother again. We still don’t know when her adoptive mother died but I think Zelena was really young. She was the only person to show her love and since Zelena going back in time may not prevent her death, she is desperate to find that love again from her other mother. She will do anything to have that again and that’s why she’s often so desperate to prove herself, she thinks power is the only way to win Cora’s affections. It’s the only thing that will make her mother, the only person she believes can love her, show her the love she so desperately craves.

It’s the king of the forest! 

Why is a Lion in a forest? Or tigers? I’m not even gonna ask.

Is Gideon more powerful than Regina? He knocked her down pretty easily. 

The Black fairy playing hide and seek with the Wicked Witch of the West.

Go Zel Zel!

This scene is so cool!

The Black Fairy can deflect magic? Weird that Blue hasn’t been shown to do that. I guess they have different power sets.

There Regina goes again. She is getting flipped around so easily today lol.

Yes! Thank you! Zelena is stronger than Regina confirmed. I was afraid they were going back on what they’d established in s3. She’s supposed to be more powerful than Cora, according to Rumple, who I think is easily more powerful than Regina. I’m gonna do a magic ranking one day. 

Magic is really affected by emotions. So because Zelena’s emotions are unstable, that makes her magic unstable? Interesting. I love it being connected to their emotions. 

What’s she using Zelena’s magic to do?

That lion is huge!

Oh, she made it into a scaredy cat. I wonder if it can talk.

Don’t say that Regina. Zelena needs you. You need each other deep down. Just wait till s7, you’ll be besties then!

Even though Regina’s hypocrisy this season gets to me a lot, I’m glad that Regina and Zelena’s sisterhood was tested and they didn’t instantly become besties. It makes their friendship all the more real and worth the ride in s7.

Snow: “And if she wanted to get married in a bathroom it would be perfect and exactly what it’s supposed to be.” Oh my God lmao! That would have been the best! 

Umm, how did the crystal summon a tornado portal?

I misremembered. I thought Stanum knew it would drain her magic but he seems like he’s telling the truth that he didn’t.

He’ll be alright. Dorothy will help him.

But what will she do with the crystals? 

Zelena: “You’re all I’ve got, Regina.”

I actually want to cry. This was so brave of Zelena. You can tell how much the idea of destroying her magic breaks her. It is a part of her. She’s had it since the day she was born. Can you imagine ripping away something that is that ingrained in who you are and have always been? It makes me so upset but it was important for her development. 

I wanna hug Zelena! 

It looks painful. I imagine it would be ripping away a part of yourself like that. 

Aww Regina is so proud of her sis and hugs her. I can’t!!

God I was so distraught when they took Zelena’s magic. You don’t understand. I think I still would be extremely distraught if she hadn’t gotten magic back in s7. The important thing was, much like Harry Potter meant to die when Voldemort struck him in the Deathly Hallows, Zelena meant for her magic to be gone forever and that is a bigger sacrifice for her than anyone will ever understand, akin to sacrificing her life. I wasn’t sure she ever would get it back but I wish Robin hadn’t given up her magic. It was very nice of her to do that for her mother, who’s magic was such an important part of her life but can you imagine mother and daughter and Alice and Robin kicking ass with their magic. In my head, Robin gets magic back a short time after the s7 finale. 

Why oh why didn’t we get more of a Black Fairy and Blue Fairy interaction in Storybrooke? At least we get some in the flashbacks next week.

She really hates her.

I can’t remember why Rumple can’t know why his mother gave him up. Guess I’ll find out soon!

This was such a great and important episode for my girl, Zelena. So proud of her. What an emotional rollercoaster! 

[wackiekebab]

Alright. Its time. Its thoughts time. Episode 8 of Wandavision. Was a ride. So here are thoughts. Spoilers of course.

So personally I really enjoyed this episode. I am one of those weird people who just adores exposition and backstories in narratives (especially books...I should never write again...) so just to have an entire episode of back story was amazing for me

If Agatha the Villain...why so hot...also why make me sympathize with her.

I mean I get that I was going to sympathize with her anyway because cool woman with cool purple coloured powers and cool wardrobe played by ultimate cool person Kathryn Hahn.

What I mean is...is this like a Thanos situation where we're trying to paint a sympathetic villain or...or is Agatha not the big baddie of this show.

Personally I hope that she shows up again because it seems like a shame to introduce this awesome cool badass witch just to kill her off. Like if she died say right now...I'm not gonna feel any kind of satisfaction.

So I'm really curious to see where they take her...I hope beyond the show.

(Also I'm a massive simp for Kathryn Hahn so I'm very biased ignore me)

Next. Wanda

Wanda. Baby. Sweetie. Pls. Let me hug. Pls.

Okay so emotions aside for a minute. Its interesting that Agatha is convinced that Wanda already had dormant magical ability and the mind stone just unlocked it. I guess it kinda makes sense.

Like considering something like epigenetics it kinda links up. (don't bully me pls I'm an animal biology student).

Can we talk about how much Agatha is like "bro. You desperately need a therapist" every 3 seconds and like...she's not wrong.

Also me thinking we might get to see Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the flashbacks: 🤡 

Also. Vision talking to Wanda about grief being the continued love of a person. My fucking god. I just...as someone who is still trying to process a loss from last year this just...it really hit me.

Okay so at SWORD

Hayward clearly wanted Wanda to see Vision...maybe because he thought she could bring him back

But she couldn't...which begs the question...why did it work in the post credits scene...

My theory is that Wanda was too bogged down in her grief and emotions to like...fully exert herself in her power...which is why when it was used as an energy source that could be quantifiably controlled...it did work.

And judging by the post credits scene we were right in saying that Hayward wanted to use him as a weapon...I mean look at Vision. Look at him. Look how they massacred my boy.

AND it looks like Hayward has indeed been trying to frame Wanda as the villain. Like...all that security footage we saw earlier was given out and made to look like Wanda just stormed in wrecked shop.

Wanda walking into SWORD and being like "I just want to give him a funeral. Its what he deserves. It's what I deserve."

And okay 1. My poor fucking heart yes it is what he deserves. And 2. Yes it is what you deserve you tell him Wanda

Also

Can I talk about how I cried my eyes out when she got to Westview.

I was watching like...oh why is she stopping there...its clearly so boring...there's nothing there...was she just like "whelp this is a good a place as any to sit and cry"...wait...what if that piece of paper in the car was like the deed to a house or a piece of land...oh if it is I'm gonna cry real hard...

AND THEN IT FUCKING WAS AND I CRIED

AND HIS NOTE

MY FUCKING HEART OMG WHYYY

Okay. I think its time we talk about:

The fact that Wanda just created another vision???? Just??? Created another one???

What???

Excuse me???

I mean. She really wasn't kidding when she said she just felt alone and then all of a sudden they were in a sitcom.

So. We've already established that Vision can't exist beyond Wanda's Hex...he starts to die...

So my question...or more...pondering...is what's going to happen to him...

And this new SWORD!Vision...what's he gonna do.

Also what actually is Agatha's motivation here...is she trying to gain Wanda's power. We've be shown that she wants to know how Wanda did it...presumably so she can do it (or something similar) too.

But why...and what for?? She does she really want?

Needless to say I am VERY excited for the rest of the show and can’t wait for next week...aaaaaa.

[boydidthatgowell]

the two times ethan yelled at mark and the one time mark yelled back

requested: no

pairings: amyiplier, platonic crankiplier

summary: ethan begins to over think and doubt his abilities to meet mark's expectations after he notices how quickly tyler learned to edit. he expressed his emotions in an unhealthy way, in the end, mark is there to reassure ethan that he is good enough.

this takes place in february of 2017

shit shit shit

ethan was on the brink of a meltdown.

the editing program had crashed before he could save the file. and when he opened the project after restarting the monitor, the gameplay timeline had removed all of the splits and zooms. this meaning: nothing was lined up. the gameplay was longer than the actual facecam video.

ethan could feel his heart begin to sink. out of everything that could have happened, this was the worst.

after tyler's first edit, ethan thought that if he perfected the video that mark assigned him, he could prove to mark that he was worth keeping around, that he didn't deserve to be replaced.

something that ethan learned that day, is that apparently the type of monitor he used didn't work well when rushed. evidence being that the second he started rushing to check if there were any old copies in the auto save folder, everything froze.

everything.

the mouse, the keyboard, the entire system just ... stopped.

and of course, there was no use in worrying about it. to his knowledge, there was nothing he could do to fix it. the situation should have been fairly easy to explain to mark, amy and kathryn.

... should have been.

it was about the time that ethan was going under the desk to unplug the mouse and keyboard when mark and tyler walked up the stairs, coming from the main room.

tyler stopped mid - sentence when he saw ethan. yet, he wasn't the first one to speak.

"hey man? did something happen?" mark questioned, walking towards the desk and crouching down.

ethan was startled, he whipped his head around to see a confused mark and tyler's legs. he couldn't quite see all of tyler since he was still under the desk.

ethan crawled out from under the desk, unable to explain himself. mark stood with him, face to face.

"what happened?" mark repeated, crossing his arms nonchalantly.

" ... uhm, okay, so everything was fine!! i was close to rendering it and the video was perfect, you would have absolutely loved it, but, but it uhm, it crashed!! everything went down and when i went back into post, i tried to see if there were ... if there were any auto saved copies because all of the splits had been removed for whatever reason but when i went to check for copies, it all froze!! everything!! i'm honestly so sorry i don't know what to do and it's just so ... i'm so sorry, mark. this is one hundred percent on me and i promise i’ll fix it somehow."

mark smiled in a bewildered manner and cocked his head, "ethan, it's fine man. it wasn't your fault, no need for stress. how can i help?” he offered, uncrossing his arms and shooting an empathetic expression at ethan.

“i don’t ... i don’t need help, mark,” ethan plopped himself back into the white chair, pressing restart on the computer for the third time, “i have it under control, it’s ... everything’s fine!!”

the harsh tone caught the other two off guard, given, this was ethan ... ethan never raised his voice unless he was kidding around or excited about something. mark shared a similar concerned look with tyler, and opened his mouth to say something before he was interrupted by ethan’s trail/mumble of nonsense that sounded something like: 

“it’s okay, it’s okay. the video should be done within the next couple of hours if i can get this damn thing working again.”

ethan sighed briefly as he was finally able to type his password in again and the system began to gradually come back to life. he soon became fixated on replacing the cuts that had been mysteriously trashed.

“ ... alright, man. if you need anything, tyler will be at my desk. i have to run up to best buy for another memory card ... for the uh ... the live stream on friday.” there was no point in mark wasting his breath, as ethan wasn’t paying an ounce of attention to what was being said.

tyler mouthed something to mark, and mark gave a reassuring nod towards him, gesturing at the youngest of the three.

------

thursday, eight fourty seven in the morning.

amy, mark and kathryn were all in the parking lot, chatting about preparation of the upstairs office, booting up the power strips and marking things off the checklist for the charity live that would be happening the next day.

“wait, why ... why is ethan’s car here? he usually comes in at nine fifteen.” kathryn pointed and chuckled at the dark blue four door sitting at the end of the lot.

mark approached the front door and pulled his keys out of his pocket, “it seems it’s unlocked, too.” mark ignored kathryn’s observation and huffed. “the door?” amy felt the need to clarify.

no one clarified though.

the girls dropped their bags at the front of the bottom floor, making their way to the right of the building to gather camera equipment to move it to the computer room.

mark didn’t follow, though. he calmly walked up the stairs, and to no one’s surprise, ethan sat at his work space, clicking away at some video timeline. the lights were off, so the only thing illuminating ethan’s face was his screen. mark didn’t even bother circling around the railing. he stood on the second to top step and rested his elbows on the white rail, holding three to - go cups in one of those cup carrier thingies.

“morning.” mark stated, more to get ethan’s attention than anything. “oh, good morning!! weird, i uh ... i didn’t even ... come in ... hear you - hear you come in.” ethan smiled half - heartedly. he pulled sweater paws over his hands and  tiredly rubbed his glassy eyes, adjusting to the morning light spilling through the windows. mark sighed and furrowed his eyebrows, finishing that last step and walking over to where ethan was seated. the older male reached over the younger one’s shoulder and dangled one of the cups to the left of ethan’s face.

“here, coffee, bud.”

ethan blinked through the sleepiness, “hey!! thanks mark.” he yawned mid - sentence.

mark set the cup reserved for tyler on the table in the center of the room, taking a cautious sip of his own coffee. he, at last, dropped his bag at the foot of his desk and leaned against it, practically sitting on it. he observed the obviously exhausted boy as he hurried to render a section of the project he was working on. ethan shook his head dramatically and spun his chair towards the one standing, “so!! did you get the chance to check your business email this morning? i sent you the finalized video that i exported yesterday evening. i was gonna have you review it and give me some feedback? i was just curious if you’d gotten it yet because i worried it would’ve had some trouble getting to you because of the computer problems yesterday that did get worked out, by the way - “

“and by yesterday evening you mean a quarter past four o’clock this morning, right?”

ethan shut his mouth quickly, turning his attentiveness near his screen once more, “ ... mhm.” he bit his tongue, shifting it around his mouth a bit.

mark really didn’t have the energy to watch a stressed ethan ramble, it was a pain for both of them. he liked to think he’d known ethan long enough to pick up on the fact that if ethan was hiding something, no matter what it may be, he’d purposely talk a lot to cover it up.

mark sipped at his beverage again, twisting the cup in his hand, “did you sleep at all last night?”

ethan pepped up his attitude slightly, “no, but you can get so much done if you don’t sleep. it’s fine, it’s not like i’ve been up for three days straight.” he chuckled lightly, scanning his eyes over the fourth bar in the timeline, double checking subtitle checkpoints.

mark stopped his meaningless hand motions and squinted. he clicked his tongue, “but you have.”

ethan frustratingly lifted his hands from the keyboard and folded them under his chin, turning his neck to look up at mark, “i’m sorry?”

mark placed his half empty coffee cup on the edge of his desk and placed his hands back on the surface, using it for balance, “almost every file, email, whatever, that i’ve received from you in the past ... not only three days, but almost week, i’m pretty sure, has come in at anywhere from one to five a.m. i’m not saying you haven’t slept in a week, but if you’re sending me messages in the dead hours of night, and then spending ... what? eleven? twelve hours a day here at the office ... when do you have time to sleep?”

ethan couldn’t speak. he’d been called out. there was nothing else to it.

“no, really ethan, tell me. i want to know. tell me when you have time to sleep.” mark pushed, raising his eyebrows, watching as ethan’s eyelids drooped.

“like ... seven to nine. usually. sometimes less.” he muttered, not bothering to make eye contact.

“two hours?”

ethan huffed angrily, “yes!! jesus fuck, mark, yes. yes. i have a horrible sleep routine. but look, man!! i’m here, right? i’m alive ... right? great!! no reason to fucking worry.”

i will make mark proud of me. i will complete more projects than tyler will ever even be able to comprehend. he won’t replace me. i’m a great editor.

ethan’s hands were practically shaking, and he hadn’t even had any of his coffee yet. however, he removed his hands from his face and hovered them over his keyboard again, thinking about what he was going to do before clicking the tab button a few times.

mark groaned in a fed - up manner and reached out to use his foot to drag ethan’s chair towards him.

“mark, what’re you - “

mark placed both of his hands on either arms of the seat, trapping the younger one and looking down at him, “first of all, do not raise your voice with me in my office. secondly, i need you to go home.”

ethan gritted his teeth, “you what?”

“i need you to go home and sleep or i need you to sleep on the couch. you will not work today.”

“you’re being ridiculous, just let me - “ ethan attempted to push himself back towards his work space. the attempt failed terribly, though, as mark just gripped the seat tighter, “you will not work today, ethan. that is an order. as your boss, i am telling you that you will take a nap today, and you will not work again until i see that you’re well rested. do you understand?”

“i don’t need a nap, i can push through it.” ethan protested, choosing to fixate his stare at mark’s torso rather than his face.

“do you understand me, ethan?” mark repeated, uplifting his eyebrows and making his voice quieter, yet clear somehow.

ethan thought for multiple seconds and gave up. he wasn’t going to win this argument, no matter how badly he wanted to. mark was his boss, and he couldn’t risk losing his job when that was the last thing he needed. he shut his eyes momentarily and nodded, “yeah. okay.”

mark grinned approvingly, “thank you,” he let go of his grasp on ethan’s chair and stood up straight, “there should be a blanket on the couch ... the yellow one.” he watched as ethan pushed himself from his spot and weakly trudged to the couch, where he collapsed. within minutes, he was out like a light.

------

ethan fluttered his eyelashes, chatter awakening him.

“hi tyler!!” was all he could hear faintly. at first, he was sort of confused and his mind was cloudy with exhaustion. a few seconds after becoming aware of where he was and what had happened, he rubbed his forehead and sat up on one elbow. he glanced around the room, no one was on the second floor other than him.

what time is it ...

he glanced over to the wall clock.

two p.m.

it was two p.m.

he had wasted five hours of precious work time, all because mark had ordered him to.

i should have argued more.

he shot up off the couch swiftly, barely making it to his computer in two steps. he desperately slid his mouse around the mouse pad, remembering he hadn’t actually shut his computer off, and just let it fall into sleep mode. the first page to pop up was the file folder for all of the projects he was in charge of. he sped through all of them until he found the one he’d been working on that morning. he needed to finish it before lunch so he could start working on a markiplier makes around four p.m.

just his luck, lunch was an hour and a half prior to when he’d woken up.

great, i’m behind.

“oh, you’re awake.” amy’s voice lingered.

ethan whipped around to the top of the stairs to see amy, mark and tyler close behind, “y ... yep!! i feel great, and, uhm ... i’m working on getting this sketch rendered and finalized by four, and then the markiplier makes should be finished by around - tonight. tonight, it’ll be done.” ethan smiled, unknowingly why he did. all of his actions at that moment were kind of involuntary anyways, given, he had just come from a semi - deep slumber.

“right, that’s fine. take your time with it, bud. tyler just got here to help us set up and sort cords and power strips into sections so we’re prepared for tomorrow morning. kathryn just went to the dollar store to grab us snacks for the stream. and, yes i made sure to ask for nerds, because i knew you’d want them.” amy explained to ethan. “yeah!! thanks dude. i promise that i’ll help you guys out once i’m finished with this.”

mark held his tongue whilst he and tyler started taking the camera and tripod out of their respective cases.

“of course, just, like i said,” amy made her way closer to ethan, “take your time. no one is rushing you.” ethan grinned in response, to which amy ruffled his hair and walked to the other two boys.

------

thursday, eleven fifty two at night.

all five of them were in the office, discussing their plans for the live stream.

while ethan would usually be laying face - up on the floor during these types of meetings, he was now seated in front of his computer.

the only one on their computer, to specify.

normally this would be fine, but, they were trying to talk, and ethan was clicking away like it was no one’s problem.

“and we’ll definitely play that spongebob movie game, that’s why i bought - “ 

click ... click click clack

“ ... hey bud, you can save and exit now, we’re done working today, alright?” mark kept civil, creasing one leg to rest on top of the other and looking over at ethan from the rest of the group. he beamed pleasantly, that was to no avail, though, as ethan paused for a couple seconds before tapping against the keys again.

mark had an endeavor to wrap up the meeting without being cut in on. that didn’t work out for him, regardless.

“we’ll definitely have to get the xbox out of the storage room sometime tonight though, or we’ll forget about - “

clack clack ... click ... click click click clack

“ethan, it’s okay man, you can put everything away now. you can pick up where you left off on monday. don’t worry about it.” mark didn’t show any signs of smiling that go - around. he only examined the boy once more.

“mm, yeah. okay, okay.” ethan mumbled, continuing his speedy pace of editing.

mark locked eyes with amy, expressing mild anger. amy showed sympathy towards her boyfriend, “it’s okay, pay no mind.” she mouthed inaudibly. mark suspired noticeably, “i may have to dust an old flash drive, so please stay patient with me as i - “

click

“ethan - “

“mark!! what?”

“ethan.”

“i’m trying to work - “

“ethan!!”

the yelling match was expected.

mark’s fist against the desk was not.

ethan, along with everyone else, jumped slightly at mark’s quick course of action.

the youngest of the group stood, astonishingly, tranquilly.

and just ... walked out.

he didn’t bother to grab his phone, keys, or glasses. he simply just, walked down the stairs and pushed open the front door to walk out.

mark pinched the bridge of his nose, inhaling sharply and choosing to follow after his distressed friend. he refused to look at the others as he practically sprung out of his desk chair and sprinted through the office, trying to get outside.

ethan was faced away from the building, hands shoved in his hoodie pocket and his entire body quivering.

“hey,” mark started, “i’m sorry for getting mad, i shouldn’t have done that ... but, please, what’s going on with you?”

the blue haired male turned around, laughing in disbelief, “what’s going on with me? really? so, tyler just ... walks in here one day and you guys decide to make a video where he edits some ... some shit gameplay and ... and he ... he sits at my desk and ... and uses my desktop to edit your video and then you have the audacity to say that he did better than you thought he’d do? really? without even ... and then you don’t even have the courtesy to reassure me - ... anyone that he won’t be replacing someone on the team? you can’t even take the time to say that he’s not better than me ... or amy? or ... or kathryn? seriously, mark? you are unbelievable sometimes, fucking ... “

mark had barely made it three paces out the door before his jaw hung open ever so slightly, thick eyebrows furrowed, “is ... that really what all of this is about? is this seriously a jealousy thing? if it’s a jealously thing ethan, just know that you don’t have a reason to feel,” mark stopped to take a deep breath, “ ... to feel envious of tyler. i can swear to you, you have nothing to worry about, ethan. falling under editing and film skills, he is nothing compared to you. i don’t want you to feel like you have to prove yourself to me.” he softened his voice a little, not wanting to frighten the smaller boy anymore than he already had, “you don’t have anything to prove to me.”

ethan clenched his jaw and began to shake harshly, slow, chilly wind blowing through his colored hair and putting a subtle blush on the tip of his nose. he fought the urge to cry. out of everything that could be happening right now, he definitely didn’t need his boss to see him act like a little bitch.

despite his wishes, two tears fell from his right eye as he blinked, “ ... i,” ethan looked down and gave a miserable smile at his grey sneakers as he did his best not to break out into a full sob, “i just wanted you to be proud of me, man. i wanted to show you that i could ... exceed past tyler’s abilities so you wouldn’t fire me and replace me with him because ... i don’t know, i really like this job, mark, i really do!! ... i just don’t wanna lose it because there’s someone better than me.”

mark muddled his face and shifted his stance, “i am proud of you, i am so proud of you ... what do you mean? did you see what you did in a date with markiplier? that shit was insane. i don’t understand.” he felt comfortable enough to take a couple steps closer to the other.

a twenty pound lump formed at the base of ethan’s throat, haziness overtook his vision and his knees began to feel as if they were as weak as mechanical pencil led. “i don’t deserve this job. i’m not good enough. i don’t meet your expectations, mark. i don’t work hard enough. there’s someone better out there.”

the eldest felt his chest crumble, “you’re joking.”

ethan cocked his head, and then completely understood what his boss had stated.

he shook his head disapprovingly.

“you work incredibly hard, man. are you serious? you’re so motivated and driven to create all the time. which is awesome. i’ve, honestly, i’ve never met someone as self - prompted as you. your work ethic is, most of the time, flawless. other than when you sleep for less than two hours and work for sixteen, yeah man, you’re a fucking legend in post. editing, filming, directing, audio work, all of it, you’re amazing. you are good enough, ethan. for me, for amy, for kathryn, for tyler. there’s no one i’d rather have in your place than you ... i am so glad i hired you. we’d be no where without you.”

ethan sniffed inward and took a deep breath, “can i hug you?”

“absolutely, bud.”

WandaVision Spoiler Alert!

I'm just going to post what I feel about this episode, this finale was quite a ride-

I got what I hoped for with the Vision vs White Vision fight. No wait, you know what, I actually got more than what I hoped for, I thought it was just going to be Vision and White Vision tearing each other down, destroying stuff, but Vision went for a philosophical discussion.

I was happy and kinda relieved to see the twins again. The moment with Monica was great and OMG HAYWARD U DICK U TRIED TO SHOOT KIDS??? (I HOPE HE GETS A GOOD PRISON SENTENCE)

And now that we're talking about Monica, I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE HER FUTURE IN MCU! I have a strong feeling that it was Nick Fury in the mid credits scene.

Kathryn Kahn is soooo good. I can't stress this enough, SHE IS A PHENOMENAL ACTRESS. The whole fight between Agatha and Wanda was amazing and she almost had us in Wanda's classic wiggly woo nightmare scene. Agatha's got the power, the style and the witchy laugh. She's totally is in my "top 5 Marvel ladies I stan" list, idc if she's evil. I just want more of that witch-

I want more of the trio too. Darcy's a queen. "Have fun in prison"? Iconicc. Jimmy Woo got his moment. And Monica, I've already talked enough about her. Just give them a series or something Marvel.

Wanda, honey, I would die for u-

SHE'S SO FUCKING POWERFUL OMG. Marvel really said that she's more powerful than the sorcerer supreme. She can make the whole world bow down to her RIGHT NOW. Idk if I am ready for the real Scarlet Witch or to see her as a villain in Multiverse of Madness. No matter how I much I prepare myself for that movie, I'm still gonna be stunned.

That whole fight sequence between Wanda and Agatha was mind blowing. Agatha was really like "You dare use my own spells against me Potter"-

And that Scarlet Witch outfit was really something.

(Marvel, Wanda just lost everything again, pls treat her good.)

This episode broke me. I cried, I held myself together through the whole show just to cry today. The last scene, the kids going to sleep, probably filled with hope that its all gonna be okay now, not knowing what was gonna happen next...that was so cruel Marvel. And Vision and Wanda's last moment...when I started watching this show I had no idea that I was going to get so emotionally invested in their relationship. I wasn't ready to watch Wanda lose the twins and Vision.

And the end-credits scene...I have no idea what Wanda is gonna do now and what's up with the twins. I just want 2 things: the twins back & pure chaos.

Now for what I hated about this ep, its obviously the Fietro/Ralph Bohner thing. Its kinda my fault for theorizing so much I guess but Marvel did Evan Peters dirty. They just casted him, knowing he is a fan favorite and fans are going to be so fucking disappointed, for that dick joke? Ralph Bohner? Really? Him being Peter Maximoff could have been a perfect setup for multiverse. It could have been the perfect setup for x-men in MCU. Disney bought the rights just for this smh. Can't believe this. (I AM NOT GETTING MY HOPES UP AGAIN WITH THE PERSON UNDER WITNESS PROTECTION THEORY-)

I can't believe this show has ended. Feels like it just started last week lol. Marvel gave us some really good stuff (with a bit of disappointment). I have so much hope for the future Marvel projects! Can't wait for the upcoming shows TFATWS & Loki.

The Landlord - Requested

Chris Evans x Fem!Reader

Warnings: Language

Summary: You and Chris are famous actors with a 18 month old baby who’s dreams will be fulfilled when she does a small audition for a movie. The video for their audition became a popular hit for a remake of Pearl, the Landlord. 

I somewhat changed the age, just around 1 and a half years old.

This was sooo late, and I’m sorry!

~~~

You were playing with your daughter, Rosalie. You were waiting on a message from your manager who was updating you on auditions. You waited for a few weeks. You weren’t impatient. It wasn’t for you.

It was for Rosalie.

Rose had insisted to be an actress like you and Chris. She has a big fantasy and could easily learn as a one-year-old. She barely spoke proper words, but it was adorable to see her stumbler her words.

Chris would even teach her a few tricks. She got some treats from her momma by acting like a sweet girl even though she’d laugh like the devil and scatter off. Chris taught her how to be a good liar, too.

Even though he was bad himself.

“I wah za, mama,” Rose points to the toy on the ground and you reached over to take the toy in hand before giving it to Rose. She giggles, “Tank you.” You smiled as Chris comes in.

You hear your phone go off and Chris notices, nodding at you. “You go answer, I’ll take over,” He says. You nod, getting up as you reached for your phone. Your manager had called you.

You turned to Chris and Rose who both sat in the room, playing with the toys. Smiling, you walked into the other room. “Hey, Kathryn.”

“Hey, Y/N. Guess what I found?”

“You found an available spot?” You asked. You could tell Kathy was smiling. “I did. And so far, they aren’t asking much for the part. If you could do something, I don’t know a video of her audition. They said that will do, since they didn’t want you to fly over. You know?”

“No, no, I got that. Should I send the video to you?”

“I can give you the director’s number. Adam Mckay is available anytime,” She said, you smiled as you nod. “Thank you so much, Kathy. Rose is gonna be so happy. This means a lot to her.”

“No problem. Tell her I said good luck!” You said bye and hung up. Walking over to Chris and Rose again. This time Scott was there, too. 

The two boys stare up at you, confusingly. “What’s the matter?” Scott asked. You bite your lip and smiled, “Guess who gets to audition for their first movie?”

Chris and Scott gasp as they turn to Rose. “You hear that, Rose?” Chris asked, he picks her up and placed her on his hip, “You get to be in a movie!” Rose smiles as she shakes the toy in her hand.

“Yay!” She says, you all laugh. “How does she audition?” Chris asked. You shrug, “Just a simple video. Nothing specific.” Chris furrows his brows, “What were you planning on doing?”

You shrugged again, “I don’t know, actually.”

Scott gasped loudly. “Guys! You’ve heard about that one video?  The little girl and Will Ferrell?”

Chris furrows his brows, “The little girl and Will Ferrell-? Oh!” Chris starts laughing as the boy confused you and Rose so much. “What video?” Chris grabs his left pectoral as he turned. “I’ll show you the video.”

After a while, you were shown the video and you couldn’t stop laughing. “You want her to play Pearl the landlord?” Chris nods, “I’m sure she can do it.”

“You know what kind of parents we’d be to have her say bad words?” You asked, Chris and Scott laugh. “Oh, sure everyone would laugh, come on.” You thought about it and softly sighed.

“All right.”

.

You stood there with a camera in hand as you smiled.

Scott sat on the couch, reading through the magazine. “It says here, Chris Pine is a Man of Style.” Chris looks over as he tries to open a beer in front of him. Chris nods once, “One heck of a man,” He says. Scott drops the magazine from his face. “Hey, did you get a letter from Russos?”

“Yeah.”

“What’d they say?” Scott asked. Chris looks over and sighs, “They can’t have the America’s ass no more.” Scott puffs out a sigh, “I’m sorry, man. I guess they couldn’t handle how much ass you had.”

Chris shakes his head till the door gets knocked on. Chris groans, “Ugh, it’s my landlord, Rosalie. I’m really late on my rent.” Scott shakes his head, “Oh man, I should go, she’s the devil man. You know how she is? I’m leaving.” 

Chris walks over to the door, “No, Scott. Stay, I’ll handle this.”

Chris opens the door and shows Rose on the other side of the door waiting. Chris leans on the door, “Hey, Rose.”

“Where’s the went!” Rose shouts. You were lucky Chris stood there without laughing. Chris holds his hand up, “You don’t have to raise your voice,” He says. Rose looks at you and you nod at her.

She looks up to Chris, “You pay now!!”

You were glad Chris kept his straight look, “I can give you half?”

“You pay... now, bish.” You knew Chris laughed at that once you took it, it was one of the outtakes of the video. “Hey, don’t talk to me like that, okay?” Chris says.

Rose drops her skirt in anger, “I’m tired of dis... crap...”

Chris sighs, “Look Rosalie, I thought I was clear in my email, that we needed a couple of weeks?” You smiled as Rosalie stomps her feet, “I work too hard!”

“Can we skip two more weeks?” Chris asked.

Rosalie picks at her dress, “I want my money.” Chris points at her, “Rose, you need to relax.”

“You’re an ahwhole...” She mutters, you snicker. Chris shakes his head, “Am not.” Rose stomps her foot and glares at him. “I want my money, bish.”

“Hey, don’t call me bitch I’m a grown man!” Chris says, Rose spins around as she mutters the word. “Bish, bish, bish, bish.” Chris pouts, “God, you’re mean.”

You knew when Chris fake cries in front of Rose when they play with the toys, she’d laugh. So she laughed at him in the video. Chris silently sobs and Rose looks up and cackles.

“Don’t make fun of me crying,” Chris sobs.

“You’ll be evicted...” She says. Chris wipes the fake tears as he shrugs sadly. “I’m not doing so well, Rose.”

“I pu you on da sweets,” Rose says. Chris holds his hands out, “Rose, I’m gonna pay you. I’m working three jobs now. Working nights...I’m-” Chris sighs. “I’m driving a cab. I just lost my title to America’s ass. My brother and I are going over my resume right now.”

Rose lifts up her hand and smacks it against the other, “I’m gonna shmack you.” Chris lifts up his hands towards Rose, “Okay. You need to relax, okay?”

“I want my money!!” Rose squeals.

.

Chris and Scott burst in laughter as the video stops there and you couldn’t help but grin at the two. “This is amazing!” Scott says. You held Rose in your arms, “You’re gonna be a star, mamas.” She laughs and plops into you for a cuddle. You waited for Kathy, your agent to give the news, so Scott and Chris had already posted the video on Twitter.

And everyone blew up.

~~~

This was sooo late and I feel bad, hopefully the anon can forgive me! I was running into so many writer’s blocks!

Eden’s Gate: Eden’s Gate Chapter 3 - No More Lies

Warnings: Swearing, slight angst. Paige is somewhat of a bitch in this. 

Word count: 1.7k

This is a short follow up series to Kidnapped leading up to the nuclear holcaust, and the beginning of New Dawn. 

Summary: The Winchester family work on tracking down Joseph Seed. Paige finds out about Kate’s pregnancy.  

Guest OCs: Barbara Teller (FC: Katey Segal), Morgan Costello (FC: Kathryn Newton), Ryan Cho (FC: Ryan Potter), Sarah Dunham (FC: Toni Storm), Ivan Wren (FC: Dylan Spouse) Isaiah Wren (FC: Cole Spouse). 

**********************************

A week has passed, and Kate is indeed pregnant. 

Fucking hell. John Seed was fucking right!!.

She’s most likely due April/May of that following year.

She can’t let anyone know just yet, especially now with everyone that is busy tracking down Joseph Seed. Wanting to kill him. 

Carrying the spawn of John Seed. The child might end up being a sadistic little shit just like him. It’s a matter of time when her stomach starts to get bigger. Paige is not far ahead of her, but she still doesn't have a baby bump just yet.

She radios Wheaty, telling him to meet her at the Whistling Beaver Brewery. He agrees, and will meet her there. 

Paige, Mandy, Kenny and everyone else is working with what Rachel had given them. She knows, she has to tell them, sooner or later Paige is starting to show signs of her pregnancy. She threw up that morning, and is eating excessively.  Kate knew it was a matter of time before she would go through that as well.  

Her and John had sex the night before his death. That was August 14th, now it’s August 26th. A little over a week, 9 days to be exact. Paige is probably 5 days to a week ahead of her.  Not sure how she was able to keep track of all that. Kate goes downstairs to where the others are. Including Rachel.

“Hey” Paige says, looking up from her laptop.

“Hey” she responds. 

“Are you hungry?!?” Mandy asks, who is cooking.

“Umm, no I’m good. I’m about to head out, and meet up with Wheaty” she says.

“Okay. Don’t get pregnant” Paige jokes, not looking up from her laptop.

Kate furrows her eyebrows at her. “I won’t” she responds. 

Rachel looks up from her book, and looks over at Kate.

“I’ll be back later” she says before leaving to her car. 

 ****************************************

After a 20 minute drive, Kate arrives at the brewery.

She’s a little early, so she sits down at a table, and waits for Wheaty. 

“Kate?!?” a familiar voice calls out.

She looks over to her right, and sees her long time friends Morgan, Ryan, Sarah, Ivan and Isaiah. 

“Hey!!” she says, standing up to give them all a hug. 

“We heard about what happened to your sister” Sarah tells her

“I told them” Ryan says, “Paige was my cage cellmate at St. Francis”.

“Yeah, yeah. We got her back, and Jacob paid the price” Kate says.

“And we also heard about you, and Wheaty killing John” Morgan says, through her teeth. Nudging her elbow at her. 

Kate nods her head, “Yeah. Yeah. I killed him. Well Nick Rye shot his plane down. Their trash talk to each other was hilarious, comedy level, and all we have left to kill is Joseph”.

“Sooo who are you meeting here?!?” Sarah asks.

“As a matter of fact, I’m meeting Wheaty here” she says.

“It took ya long enough.” Morgan jokes, “He’s a great guy. You deserve the best”.

"John's a douche, you deserve the best" Ivan tells her. Playfully hitting her shoulder. 

She nods her head with a smile. 

“Yeah I know. So Ryan, why did Jacob have you locked up?!” Kate asks.

He hesitates, “Because of my knowledgement in chemistry, and I may have caused some trouble in his region when he was still alive”.

“I got caught as well” Morgan says.

Kate’s eyes widened “When?!?”.

“A few months ago” she replies, "I was able to escape. Overnight". 

They chat for another few minutes, and they leave. 

Kate sits back down, and waits for Wheaty.

5 minutes go by, and he walks through the door.

“Hey” she says, when he sees her.

“Hey” he responds, kissing her, “So why did you call me here?!?”.

“I’m pregnant” she says, “I took a test, and it came back positive”.

His jaw drops open, “You serious?!?”.

She nods her head, “Yeah”.

“Do the others know?!?” he asks, “Your family?!”.

She looks down, “No. None of them know about it”. She sighs, “I don’t know how to tell them”.

“You don’t have to tell them it’s John’s. Just say it's mine” he tells her. 

She nods her head, “I can. I can. I’m a good liar, and all. But I can’t lie about this”.

“Faith is living with us. She’s helping us track down Joseph” she says.

“Can you trust her?!” he asks.

“She knows I’m pregnant”.

Wheaty looks at her confused, “What do you mean, she knows?!?. I thought no one else knew about it?!". 

“I never told her, or anyone. But she “sensed” it. She said I’m having a girl”.

He looks around in confusion, “She said you were having a girl?. When it’s not even an embryo”.

“That’s what I thought” Kate responds, “Unless she’s a witch or something”.

They chatted for a couple of hours, and they went back to their places.

Wheaty the Wolf's Den, and Kate the Winchester-Smith compound.

Arriving home around 6:30pm, the sun is barely setting. Kate walks through the front door, and is greeted by Barbara.

“Hey sweetie, your sister told me you went on a date?!. Who’s the guy, or girl?”

Kate chuckles, “He’s a part of the Whitetail Militia, he’s the host of a pirated radio broadcast, and is the best thing that has ever happened to me”.

She goes upstairs to her room. A few minutes later, Rachel knocks at her door.

-knock knock knock-

“Yeah?!” she responds. 

The door opens, and she sees Rachel walk in.

“Hey Rachel” she says.

“So how was your date?” she asks.

“It went good. We had a great time” she responds. 

“Did you tell him?” she asks.

Kate looks up at her, “About what?”.

“Your pregnancy” she whispers.

“Oh, oh right!!” she chuckles, then clears her throat. 

“Yeah. yeah I told him. Because he was the only one. Before you knew of my pregnancy”

“Are you going to tell the others?” she asks.

“I’m gonna have to” she mutters, “I’m gonna have to. Maybe now, or when everyone is here” she says again, looking down at the floor.

Rachel nods her head, “I know you're scared”.

Kate looks up at her.

“I know you’re scared, because it’s John’s, and Paige doesn’t like him. I know you’re scared that Paige might not love you anymore. That she might feel betrayed”.

Kate lets out a short breath, “Yeah, Yeah. I know she’ll be angry, but she’ll get over it because John is dead”.

As they're talking upstairs, downstairs in the dining room. Paige gets a lead on Joseph’s whereabouts, by hacking into the Hope County’s police system, and finding his location, or at least where he was in the last few days. 

She wanted to tell Kate in a private conversation before she told anyone else.

She goes up stairs to Kate’s room, she’s about to knock on her door, but stops when she hears her, and Rachel talking.

As much as she doesn’t like eavesdropping. 

She listens in on their conversation from the hallway, and regrets it.

“So when are you gonna tell them?!” Rachel asks Kate. 

Kate sighs, “I’ll go downstairs in a bit, and tell them. Paige might hate me for it. But I just need to get it off my chest.”

Confused, Paige puts her ear to the closed door. Trying to hear what else is being said. 

There’s a few moments of silence in the room.

“I can’t believe I’m carrying John Seed’s kid” she says, with so much frustration in her voice.

Paige hears this, and her blood starts to run cold.

“What?!?” she whispers to herself. Eyes wide. 

“I’ve thought about abortion, but I can’t do that” she says, “I can just lie, and say it’s Wheaty’s kids. She won’t know”.

“Come on. Let’s go downstairs and tell the others” Rachel tells her in a reassuring voice. 

Paige quickly goes back downstairs before they leave the room. She is fuming. 

“Hey did you-” Kenny asks her before getting cut off by his angry wife. 

“No!” she raises her voice, almost yelling.

He looks at the others confused, and back to his wife “Umm okay what’s wrong?!?”.

“Don’t worry you’ll find out in a few minutes!!!” she says angry, leaving the room to go outside. 

Kate, and Rachel walk downstairs to the living room. 

She clears her throat. 

“Hey guys there’s something I want to tell you, and I want everyone in here”.

Everyone comes into the living room.

“Where’s Paige?!?” she asks.

“She went outside” Kenny says, “Paige!!”.

Paige walks back inside, arms crossed and angry. She takes a seat on the arm of the couch next to Kenny.

Kate takes a deep breath, “So what I wanted to tell you guys was-”

She gets cut off by her sister, “That you’re pregnant?!?”.

Kate’s eyes widened, and all of her color drained out of her body.

Everyone looks at Paige, and then back at Kate.

“Kate you’re pregnant?!?!” Mandy asks.

Paige stands up, “Yeah, she is. With John Seed’s kid!!!”.

A loud gasps between all of them. Everyone, staring at each other in shock. Heads turning to one another. 

“But John Seed is dead!!!” Martin says. 

“This was before his death. I’m guessing. Am I right Kate?!?” she asks.

She nods her head, “Yeah. Yeah it was the night before I killed him”.

“And you had sex with him. I knew, I shouldn’t have let you untie him.” she says, running her hand through her hair before placing them on her hips. 

“Okay. So what if he got me pregnant!?!?!” she snaps at her, “He’s dead, and I can raise this child on my own”.

“Kate” Paige mutters, pinching the bridge of her nose, “That’s not the point. You’re carrying the spawn of John fucking Seed!!!!”.

Paige groans into her hands. 

“And you were gonna lie, and tell us that it's Wheaty’s kid. Weren’t you?!?!”.

“He knew I was pregnant, and he knows it's John’s. He told me that he wouldn’t mind being a stepfather to the child”.

Everyone looks back, and forth at the two sisters. 

“He also told me he wants to be there for the both of us” she says, placing her hand on her belly.

Paige looks out the window, her back to the others.

Everything felt like it was moving painfully slow. Time freezing, slowing down. After a few minutes, she turns back around, and says.

“No more lies Katella, okay? I’m sick of it. I tell you everything, and I mean everything. You gotta do the same with me. From this day on there will be no more lying, keeping things from me, or bending the truth, and everything in between.”

Kate nods her head, “Okay”. 

“And not just this. From the time when you lost your soul, getting a hit on demon blood, saying “Yes” to Lilith, and not saving me in Hell. Everything!!. You promise?!”. 

Tears begin to stream down Paige’s face, and Kate’s as well. 

She nods her head once again, “Okay. Okay I promise”.

So like could I ask for Thomas Hewitt with a breeding kink pretty please? (Love your stuff)

Oh man... I don't exactly have a breeding kink (mostly bc i cant get pregnant), but hoooh, one (1) Thomas Hewitt may do whatever he likes to me.

nsfw fic under cut, fem s/o bc im not a fan of even pretend kinky mpreg

So your new neighbors... They sure are something. Warm, kindly, a bit messed in the head. All ways you could describe them, but it was all a bit more than that. Luda Mae is a strict but motherly woman, and you can respect that. Hoyt is an asshole, but he cares about his family, you can also respect that. Monty's just a poor creep who can't get far in his wheelchair and you're grateful for that. In their trailor, Henrietta is off, but extremely sweet and doting, and Kathryn makes some great tea and is a joy to chat with.

And then there's Thomas. Luda Mae's massive, mysterious son who wore a mask covering the lower half of his face. She snips at you when she catches you staring, saying it's rude and the boy can't help being different. And of course you have to clear up that isn't why you are staring. That Thomas certainly has intense eyes and big, strong arms.

That's when Luda Mae decides to adopt you. You still work over on your dairy farm, but as far as she is concerned, you are always welcome at the Hewitt house, no exception. She even gives you a key to front door.

Maybe it was because there was someone who fancied her son. Maybe it was because she could tell you really didn't care about their dark family secret.

Cannibalism... Well you didn't have any strong feelings either way, so you simply continue on milking cows and hauling hay when you hear screaming from miles away, where their house was. None of your business, really.

When escapees run through your property, it's as simple giving them something to drink to calm them down, then garroting them when they had their back turned. You aren't a fan of having to clean blood off your tile. So you snap their necks and wait for Thomas to come collect the bodies after giving the house a ring.

You don't eat people, but you can't exactly let someone escape and spread news about what the Hewitt's were doing.

And of course, it gives you the perfect opportunity to ogle Thomas' bulky muscles when he hauls them away. Maybe even get him to sit down a moment for some sweet tea or water, since their dead either way. Thomas usually declines, since Hoyt isn't a fan of him taking his sweet time.

But it has been a sweltering day today, and when Thomas stumbles into your kitchen, you can tell it's been a bad day. His shirt's soaked in sweat, it looks like he pulled a muscle, and he is absolutely exhausted. So you offer him a sit down, some sweet tea, and maybe a sandwich.

Which, today, he accepts.

Thomas isn't much of a talker, so you idly chat enough for the both of you. About how the animals and sales are going, and how he has to come and see the calf that just got birthed a few days ago at some point. Thomas just nods and stares.

But today is a day of changes, and what you want to change most of all is how Thomas regards you. Luda Mae has had enough of you tip toeing around how you feel and wants you to confess for Christ sake! She wants to make sure her Tommy's going to be taken care of once she's gone.

So you bat your eyelashes, place a hand on Tommy's arm and ask him if he's seeing anyone.

Which... Okay, it flies right over his head. Clearly, yes, he can see you in front of him. He may be a bit tired from the chase, but his eyes work just fine.

It doesn't even hit him when you sit on the table, and brush his hair from his face and clear up that you're asking if he's dating someone. No, no he's not. You know this, so why are you asking?

He clears his dishes up and goes to living room to get the body, but Jesus Christ you have had enough, so you grab him by the sleeve and tell him that you like him. As in, you wanted to date him, like him.

As in you wanted him to kiss you and fuck you senseless, like you.

Which is when he finally connect two and two, and he jumps back. You? Like him? Of all people? Are you completely sure? Maybe you've just been alone on this farm for too long-

But you tug him forward so he's standing between your spread legs, and run your hands up his body - pausing to grope that meaty chest - and pull him down by his face to kiss you. It's entirely too rough and had too much teeth, but Christ, Thomas jumps right in. His hands shake as they grab you by the waist and pull you closer, one going up to twine in your hair.

You can feel his length get hard and press up against your crotch, and you can't help but rocking your hips and trying to get his fly undone.

Thomas isn't the kind of guy to jump right into things, but this is his first time, and you're so warm and adamant, and make him so... Happy? Is that the right word? No one outside of his family has ever cared for him, and you were always there for the family. One of few people who didn't care. You killed for them.

And now you wanted Thomas to take you up against your kitchen table.

He flips your over, your front pressed down to the table, and pulls your jeans down just enough to get to your pussy. He slips in a finger, to feel how hot and wet you are.

You moan and squirm under his weight when he presses up against your wall, so he adds in another finger and fucks his fingers in and out of you roughly. It leaves you breathless and thrust back against him. Heat surges through your gut when he leans over you, breathing heavily in your ear.

"Thomas," you whine. "I need you, fuck me, please!" Screw extensive foreplay. You could feel how big he was earlier, and you need that in you immediately. And if it's going to hurt, then so be it.

That sets him off, tugging himself out of his pants. He holds his leaking head up to your slit, teasing before thrusting in roughly. It's too big, too much, too fast, but Thomas doesn't care and sets a brutal pace. It's his first time, and he's hitting you in just the right spot, so you can't blame him too much.

"F-fuck, Thomas!" You stutter out, tears welling in the corner of your eyes as you grip your table cloth. The pace he set was brutal, but you don't care.

He wraps his arms around your waist, and makes small noises in your ear. He makes sure to hold you close, and fuck, you can feel all those muscles working.

"O-oh, oh, oh! Fill me up, f-fuck me full of your babies!" It just slips out of your mouth. If that isn't moving too fast, then you don't know what was. Hell, you didn't even want children, but Thomas did things to you. Like wanting him to fuck you hard enough to knock you up.

He pauses for a moment, the words sinking in. And you think he's to going to pull out and head home, but he doesn't. Thomas starts fucking you faster than he was, forceful enough to cause you to choke. His breathing is laboured, and you can hear him trying to moan out something that vaguely sounds like your name.

"C-C'mon Tommy. You're doing me so good," you gasp out a moan as he hits you just right, making your eyes roll back into your head. You can hold off for a little bit, but you're nearly right there. "Fuck! Oh Christ! Cum in me, cum 'til I'm gonna have your kids! Oh! Oh!"

It's that ragged, final thrust, and the feeling of his cum filling you up and spilling out around him that sets out off, sobbing out his name.

Both of you collapse on the table, but Thomas tries to keep himself propped up to avoid crushing you. He doesn't slip you, and keeps pressing forward into you even though he's going soft. When he can no longer keep himself in, a rush of cum follows after.

The sensation of it dripping out of you, down your legs, and pooling around your feet sends shivers down your spine. Thomas holding you open with a finger to watch certainly doesn't help. He rubs a hand along your back, and moves your hair aside to press a kiss to your cheek.

"Y-you go ahead Tommy, I'm going to be here a while," you chuckle, too uncertain to get up on your feet quite yet. "You, sir, have ruined me for any other man. It seems you're stuck with me now."

He makes a warm noise and nuzzles your neck, before standing upright and zipping his pants back up. You walks around before giving you one last kiss, and heads into the living room to get the body.

Christ, you just hope he didn't actually get you pregnant. That'll be one hell of a thing to try and explain to Luda Mae.
