#I can't do all the lads because I am actually very tired

[smithy-smith]

This came to me all of a sudden and I could not sleep until I made them real. Although I can’t be the only person to have thought of this...

[automaticllamacycle]

May Jesus forgive me for what I’m about to say.

Making matty jealous at an industry party until he spanks you and fucks you so hard afterwards

I am going to be combining this ask with this one that I got because they will fit will together hehe : literally matty just fucking you RELENTLESSLY like that man is not stopping until your actually crying like tears are flowing down your face

Disclaimers: reader is quite drunk during the sex, but I'm acting like this is in the dom/sub au I (kinda) have going on so they are in a very committed relationship and have discussed situations like this before! Anyways now onto the horny thoughts (even though im writing this more like a traditional fic)

this ended up being like 1.5k words. It is now 2am so it is NOT proof read, like not even a once over I am SLEEPY

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

industry parties are the worst. You despise them. Its all the same every time. You would show up with Matty, have a few drinks of alcohol, and hang by Matty's side while he talked with people from the label. It got old really fast in all honesty.

Tonight you just wanted his attention more than anything, and you are determined to have it by the end of the night. You arrive to the party on his arm and the same old pattern begins as he's dragged away by Jamie to go talk to someone. Without Matty at your side, you excuse yourself to the open bar. One drink turns into two, which turns into three before you even realize it.

You planned this out beforehand. You thought to yourself, maybe if you got a bit drunk and needy, you could convince Matty to take you home early. After drink number three you walk over to Matty, and lean to whisper in his ear. "Baby, can we go home? I'm tired of this."

Matty can tell you're a bit tipsy from your mumbled speech. "Sweetheart, this stuff is important I can't just leave because you want to leave."

"But Matty-" you start, putting on pleading doe eyes. He cuts you off before you can finish your sentence.

"I said no. Now, go on, it shouldn't be too much longer, anyway. You can be patient."

So, you found yourself back at the bar, with another drink. You've had too much, but you don't really care. Too pissed at Matty to really give a shit.

After another hour passes you stumble back over to Matty. The liquid courage must be working because you don't even care about the fact he's talking to people. You nearly crash into his side when you reach him. "Matty! Can we go now?" He shoots you a glare instantly before turning back towards the two men he was speaking with.

"Sorry guys, this is my girlfriend Y/N. Please, continue on with what you were saying!" Matty's hand is around your waist in a bruising grip. His lips quickly come up to your ear to speak in a dark tone. "Behave."

You do behave... for a total of five minutes, then you get needy again. You start small, leaning into his side and placing your arm on his chest. The alcohol dulls your rational thinking enough that you have no shame in your next actions, reaching up to kiss him on the neck. Matty laughs off the kiss, not so much as turning his gaze to you, continuing to listen to the men speaking to him. His grip on your waist tightens. He's starting to get mad.

You don't stop. Your hand paws at his chest while you balance on your tip toes to whisper in his ear. "Please, sir. I need you-"

Matty steps away fast, not letting you connect your lips to his neck again. "Haha- sorry lads I think it's time I take her back home. Jamie is right over there and would be happy to answer any other questions you two might have." And with that Matty's hand firmly grips your wrist and pulls your behind him, out the door, and to his car.

Once your on the road, he finally speaks after giving you the silent treatment. "What the fuck was that? Were you trying to embarrass me? You know it's important that I talk to people like that at these things."

"I'm sorry- I just wanted your attention."

"And you thought the best way to do that was to beg me to fuck you in front of those guys?"

"I whispered it!"

"Whispered? You call that a whisper? I'm almost certain they heard you. How much have you had to drink tonight."

"Uhm... I lost count."

"No shit."

The rest of the car ride was filled with silence. When you arrive at his place, he doesn't even go around to open your car door, instead heading straight to the front door of his house. Once your both inside, he sits down on the couch. He's angry. Really fucking angry.

"Bend over my knee. Right now." You don't dare disobey him. That would only increase your punishment. You lean your body over his legs, giving him access to your ass. Matty flips up your dress to reveal your lace underwear that is already soaked through.

"I'm sorry sir- I- I promise I didn't mean to embarrass you. Just wanted you so bad." You flinch when his hand strikes your ass.

"Fucking slut. Just because you didn't mean to doesn't mean you avoid getting punished." You gasp as his hand comes down again, just as hard as the first strike. "Besides." His hand spanks you again. "You knew what you were doing when you decided to order all those drinks didn't you?" His hand hits you again, showing no mercy. "Needed some courage before you could be such a whore in public, huh?"

"Yes- yes sir- I knew what I was doing. I'm sorry." Matty's satisfied with your answer, but that doesn't stop the onslaught of his hands. You'll be bruised for at least a week. He wants you to remember this every time you sit down. He wants you to remember and learn from the punishment.

By the end of it, you're sobbing. The strikes were becoming too much, and you needed him to touch you. "Matty- p-please I- I need you, please."

"Have you learned your lesson?"

"Yes, sir. I'll never do it again. I promise." you say through choked sobs. Without warning Matty carries you to the bedroom and throws you onto the bed before he starts taking off his clothes. He's hard through his boxers, which are soaked with precum. You follow suit and take off your dress, wincing as you take the lace of your underwear off of your ass.

Matty's on top of you the next second, his cock at the entrance of where you need him most. "You know, I shouldn't even give you my cock. Only good girls deserved to get fucked."

"No! no no no! Please. I need you, I need you so bad." Tears flow down your cheeks.

Matty enters you suddenly, filling you to the hilt. He gives you no time to adjust to his size as he begins pounding into you. "Fine. I'll give you my cock." He groans out. "But I'm going at my fucking pace and you're going to take it."

His hips move rapidly, thrusting into you hard. All you can do is wrap your legs around his waist and dig your nails into his back. The moans that leave your mouth are desperate. Your cries fill the room, along with the sounds of skin meeting skin. Matty's pace is near animalistic.

Matty flips your over so you're on your stomach. You don't have the strength to hold yourself up, completely pliant on the bed. "Poor thing can't hold herself up? Thought you wanted me to fuck you?" he groans, continuing his fierce pace. The new position allows him to go even deeper into your cunt. It's all becoming too much.

"Matty-" you cry. "It's too much- I can't"

"Take it. Be my good girl and take my cock. You were fucking made for me." One of his arms wraps around your waist, pulling your up so your back is up against his chest. He uses his other hand to hold onto the headboard of the bed, steadying himself so he can thrust into you even faster.

"Matty- shit I can feel you in my stomach- fuck-" At your words, his hand shifts lower on your waist, pressing over where his cock bulges in your stomach.

"Yeah? You feel that?" He presses down harder, making a whine leave your throat. "Only I can do this to you. Your cunt is made for my cock." You moan out in agreement, drawing closer and closer to orgasm, and Matty is getting close too. "You gonna come for me? Gonna milk my cock?"

"Yes- yes sir- please."

"Go on then come for me." When he speeds up the pace of his hips, you're a goner, falling into the waves of an orgasm. The pleasure overwhelms you, pulsing through your veins. You cry out his name over and over again as he fucks you though it.

Matty is not far behind. It only takes a few more thrusts before he cums inside of you, filling you up deep inside. As soon as he's finished, he practically collapses on top of you. He takes the time to trail kisses on the back of your neck as you catch your breath and come back down to earth.

"You did good for me, baby. Did you learn your lesson?"

"Yes, sir."

"That's my girl. Let me take care of you now."

I am actually tired that people keep comparing Artem and Zayne.

Look man I'm an Artem loyalist ok I went into the game thinking Zayne was going to be the one because from an outsider perspective, yeah.

Having spent countless hours in the game now...

Artem being work partners with MC, despite Artem's massive crush it's a slow burn colleagues to romance based on mutual trust and affection. By the time they're dating it's more a confirmation than a confession. With Zayne just from experience he's so reserved that it really almost feels like MC is the one pursuing him and always questioning herself about it. Business Trip makes me a little sad tbh cause yeah it ended well but it's so clear she wants a little bit more of that public casual affection.

They do both have reserved personalities but will surprise you

Artem can surprisingly be very fun and spontaneous and Zayne is extremely calculating and yes he'll go to arcade with MC but it's more just to watch her have fun and be in the same air as her, I think Artem and Rosa (MC) actually go to enjoy themselves and be a little competitive and have fun. From what I've seen Zayne prefers the planned dinner dates and itineraries or just cooking at home. One of his dates is literally... one of those work fairs with like tables and booths. Artem and Rosa's dates spawn the entirety of "grocery shopping and a movie at home" to "we randomly decided to enter a shooting tournament on a whim cause we were in the area"

Not afraid to be bold with affection (Artem freaking proposed at someone else's WEDDING omg Zayne could never I think he would die)

Artem never doubts or coddle MC's ability, complete faith and trust in her ability to protect herself (fortunately all the LaDS boys have this but of the ToT boys I know there's been moments the others kinda coddle her and are overprotective, and of the 4 ToT Artem is hands down the first to say 'Go on without me you can handle this.' You can fight me on this. If you have doubts the last Mystery Little Boss event was wild proof for me.) I just feel like Zayne gets a little overprotective the difference is... he can't really stop her.

In contrast to Zayne, Artem's personality is very warm with MC; he smiles brightly and laughs loudly with her, he'll swing her hand in public, people literally already think they're dating even in the main story. With Zayne I feel like he's so reserved in public to the point I think outside his hospital colleagues who might see her often, people might be surprised to find out if he's even married (I have a coworker like this. So reserved that they handed me their wedding invite one day and I was like???? EXCUSE ME since when did you even have a relationship???). He likes to save his affection for private moments and that's fine and dandy but it's not like Artem to not be affectionate with her constantly and I'm not just talking his confession when he kissed MC in front of the whole theme park or in the middle of the street in front of his mom, no I'm talking just the casual always throwing his arm around her shoulder and holding her casually close to him, even during the recent billiards tournament. I just think it would take a while for Zayne to get to that level of comfortable and for Artem its like, a need.

There's a few more but I'm done. I love Zayne, I do, I'm just tired of people saying he's Artem copy/paste cause he's NOT they could not be more different and if you go into the game thinking you'll get Artem 2.0 then I'm sorry man.

What the hell happened with Crow: an autopsy (Part 2)

Hope you didn't think I'd forgotten about this post yet. Lads, ladies, and other lovely people, here we go. I have more yelling about bird boy to do.

But first, a few disclaimers. For people who may have missed part one, yes, as the title implies, this post is part two of an attempt to analyse Crow's character throughout 5Ds' whole run. You can find part one here. Now, both for people who may not have the time/energy to read my first, huge post about this right now, let me explain what I'm about here before we start again: My analysis is not meant to deter people who like Crow from liking him. It's also not meant to convince Crow haters otherwise, even if I admittedly personally like Crow. All of this stuff is just my personal attempt at dissecting how his character was handled in the show and why that might have been. And because this is part two, and I covered the Fortune Cup and Dark Signers arc in the first post, I'll start with the pre-WRGP arc, then dig into the backstory Crow was given directly before the WRGP begins properly. Also, mind the length of this post. I'm physically incapable of writing short things.

I also feel the need to reiterate another thing before I really get into the meat of things again: If you were hoping to see any old rumours about 5Ds confirmed, this is the wrong post. In fact, thanks to the very thorough work of someone over on Reddit (another shoutout to @mbg159 here, who's the author of those posts), I know for a fact that literally all the big rumours surrounding Crow are one big pile of logistically impossible horseshit, and I think after so, so many years of people citing this nonsense, the fandom as a whole finally deserves to let these go:

No, Crow was not meant to be a dark signer, least of all the final boss of season one, and Blackwings were not the reason he got more screentime later.

No, Aki being sidelined was not the result of her irl voice actress' pregnancy.

Yes, I know these two posts are both a long read each, but I cannot begin to tell you how tired I am of these rumours. So even if you don't have time to read the stuff above, please take away this: The big 5Ds production conspiracy theories are. all. bullshit. Because, to put it in as simple terms as possible, none of them work out logistically. The events people have pretended affected the show's production in a major way all don't line up with the actual production timeline. So just can the rumours already. Please let them die. And no pitting Aki and Crow against each other on his post or because of this post, yes? I beg you, I am so tired. Ok? Ok.

All right, now we can get to the good part. In my previous post, I left off at the end of the DS arc. So, in what position is Crow at the end of the DS arc? He helped save the world by defeating Goodwin and got his very own signer mark after Rudger/Roman Goodwin's death.

And now, where is Crow at the start of the pre-WRGP arc?

(Bam. Delivery bird boy be upon ye.)

This time, Crow wastes absolutely no time coming back on screen. We see him again within the first episode of the second half of the show, and wouldn't you know it! He moved in with Yusei and Jack and the three of them have a funny, brotherly, bickering dynamic between them. Also, as a fun little add-on that is very much in line with his deeply Satellite, down to earth characterisation from the first half, Crow now works as a delivery driver to earn money for the household. That's all very nice and good.

But what is his role in the plot from here on out? Well.

First, a small note about the pre-WRGP arc. Though this arc is fun to watch because it gives us a lot of silly character interactions the show no longer found the time for once the WRGP started, the pre-WRGP arc really can't be said to bother with actual plot much. It's the known filler arc of 5Ds, and as such, Crow is not the only character who gets pretty much nothing plot-related to do during this arc. Thus, I'll only give a quick run-down of what he does get up to, just in case any of these tidbits end up showcasing a relevant aspect of Crow's character I might come back to later.

Furthermore, another thing that's pretty much obvious to everyone who's ever watched the show in its entirety but still bears mentioning: Crow gets a lot more screentime from this point on out. Technically. Why do I say "technically"? I'll get back to that further below. For now, just keep it in mind.

So, how does Bird Boy spend his time during the arc where the plot's on the back burner? To be honest, on the sidelines, mostly. Don't get me wrong, Crow's there. Most of the time. But he gets pretty much only two episodes where he's the focus, and both of those aren't exactly known for being 5Ds' most memorable episodes (even though I still like them both tbh, but I digress): For one, in episode 68, he gets to convince Bashford to move in with Martha so the depressed old man isn't spending his entire retirement living in a scrapyard.

(This episode's comedic moments are actually fairly solid. But those are just my two cents.)

And for two, in episode 85, Crow gets to bond with the boys' somewhat cranky landlady, Zora, by duelling some sense into her son, Lyndon. (Which also introduces us to a duelling tactic only Crow uses that we will later see again: Losing on purpose.)

(And here we can see Crow showing off his skills at dealing with petulant children.)

Now, do these two episodes where he gets to be relevant actually do anything for Crow? As a character? Debatable. If nothing else, they strongly reaffirm the values Crow represents which we were introduced to in the first half of the show, though. They reintroduce us to his stubbornness, to his (in comparison to Jack and Yusei) more playful nature, to his very Yusei-ish dedication to doing the right thing, to his penchant for spite, and to his strong sense of family and community and his belief that these two things shouldn't be abandoned unless you have a damned good reason for it.

You may notice that there's a sizeable gap between these two episodes. That's because those episodes are where we get the only smidgens of plot in this arc. Among them, highlights like Sherry's introduction, the first reveal of accel synchro, Aki's turbo duelling license exam, three separate story beats hinting at the machinations of the emperors of Iliaster (Luciano's little stunt with Rua and Ruka, Placido getting started on building a killer robot army, and the Jack double being unleashed onto NDC), and Bruno's introduction. So, here's the thing: Crow is technically present during most of those episodes, too, but he doesn't actually get to meaningfully interact with the plot-relevant elements. (Which is not to say he doesn't have nice moments here and there. He does get to bounce off the other characters, and, just as one example, helps Yusei and Jack upgrade Aki's duel runner, as well as help Yusei build Rua's duel board. Crucially, he doesn't get to do anything that later becomes plot-relevant, though.) Moreover, not one, but two characters who end up becoming major players in the series' finale are introduced here, which is relevant insofar as that Bruno and Sherry both end up needing a good amount of development before they can impactfully take their later roles. Now, I say this with nothing but genuine appreciation for both these characters, because I do like them, but I feel the need to point out what this means not just for Crow, but for pretty much everyone who isn't Jack or Yusei: Every minute of screentime that was dedicated to Bruno and/or Sherry was one minute less the writers could spend on the rest of the cast. This is not to say that time shouldn't have been spent on them, they needed it, especially because they were introduced so late, but it's something I do want people to keep in mind when talking about who got how much screentime and whether or not that time was well spent. (I also have a larger gripe with the definition of "screentime" in general, but more on that later.)

So when does Crow get to be relevant to the plot again, now that he's even a signer and all? Well, not until episode 94, when the WRGP arc has already started. (Note that I'm using the 5Ds episode list on wikipedia as a general guide for which arc and which season starts where. You can find it here.)

*Deep breath*

So. Episode 94.

(Pictured: One very scruffy dragon. Bird? Dragon-bird. Bird-dragon. You figure this shit out.)

That episode. The episode where Crow, who was awarded with the status of a signer during the finale of the DS arc, finally gets a dragon to match his mark. And the episode where we finally, finally, get some actual backstory for Crow that goes beyond his involvement with the Enforcers and childhood with Jack and Yusei. A backstory that's only Crow's own. Except. How do I put this politely...

This shit doesn't make a lick of sense. Neither the events in the duel between Crow and Bolger in the present resulting in Black-Winged Dragon's appearance, nor the Pearson backstory.

Now, I'm not saying this to step on anyone's toes. From a writing standpoint, I can even make a fairly reasonable guess as to why this episode/mini-arc is here, I think: As I mentioned in part one of this analysis, Crow was not only introduced very late, but also got very little backstory of his own, which set him apart from the other signers. Don't get me wrong, he did get some backstory—we know of his strong connection to Duel Monsters because he learned to read from cards, and we know of his involvement with the Enforcers/Team Satisfaction. Crucially, though, Crow doesn't really get a backstory segment that feels as unique to him as the others. Aki gets her tragic past with her parents and her powers, Jack gets his betrayal of Yusei, which also doubles as part of Yusei's backstory, who as the protagonist understandably gets the most backstory, and even the twins, though they are as always treated as one unit, get their very own segment about the time when Ruka was essentially in a coma. Meanwhile, Crow only has that one-off tear-jerker moment about learning to read from his cards and his being a part of the boys' duel gang, which, and I cannot stress this enough, is treated as more of a Yusei and Kalin/Kiryu backstory by canon than a Crow backstory. Thus, it makes perfect sense from a writing standpoint that the Pearson/Black-Winged Dragon mini-arc would be here. Crow, up until this point, has neither a backstory segment dedicated solely to him, nor a signer dragon to call his own. So, how do we solve this? Give him both in a strategic double-whammy! The math checks out. Unfortunately, the writing of said mini-arc... doesn't.

Now, look. The juicy question of whether Crow would have worked better as a non-signer or not, which I already discussed in part one aside, I personally don't hate what this backstory is trying to do. It's just that the whole Pearson-drama has some very notable, logical holes which I'll get into below. Furthermore, this is not the first time something related to Crow has some unfortunate, logical and/or chronological issues. I already brought up the infamous fridge and Rex Goodwin's rather confusing backstory in part one, both of which raise some serious questions. However, Pearson and everything surrounding him arguably blow that clean out of the water. Let's examine this more closely, shall we.

The long-overdue backstory we get for Crow begins with a mystery: Mikage and Trudge, for a reason that is never given to us, are investigating the death of Robert Pearson (whose death would have been several years ago at this point), whom Crow knew very well, and they're doing it because they found a hint that the person who killed Pearson used an illegal card, Crimson Mefist, to do it.

(Post redemption-arc Trudge actually doing his job instead of bullying random Satellite citizens. Who would have thunk.)

Thing is, here, we already encounter our first, minor problem: Pearson has never been mentioned up until this point, not even as an aside. And this issue is compounded by the fact that not only Crow seems to know him, but Trudge claims to as well, because "Satellite used to be his jurisdiction". So, a named character who's familiar to both one of our protagonists and a notable side character, and we've never seen hide nor hair of him. If we pull our heads out of the story for a second, the irl reason for how this came to be is probably pretty obvious: Pearson was never mentioned before because the writers had nowhere near as solid of a plan for Crow as they did for the other characters, which leads to him being introduced out of nowhere here because we need a backstory and a dragon for Crow and we need those now. Moving on.

The mention of Pearson having been not simply killed in a fire, like Crow previously assumed, but having been murdered through a special, illegal card immediately makes him suspicious. So, he goes to consult Bolger/Bolton, another never-before-seen character who gets introduced in service of this backstory, and who knew Pearson well. And while this guy certainly acts amiable towards Crow at first, implying that the two have a good rapport, at least, he quickly starts acting suspicious when Pearson's murder comes up. Moreover, we as the audience at this point already know Bolger's looking for Black-Winged Dragon so he can use the card essentially as collateral to save his company. And the name "Black-Winged Dragon" already leaves very little to the imagination as to whose deck this monster is supposed to fit into. But, in a small twist, we learn from Crow that this was apparently Pearson's card, and supposedly lost in the fire where said man died, to boot. Then Bolger challenges Crow to a duel, too, offering to tell the truth about Pearson's death if he loses, but demanding Black-Winged Dragon, which he believes Crow to be in possession of, if he wins. So far, so good. We've got a mystery here, and canon is not contradicting itself just yet. Until we get to the actual backstory, which shows us the time Crow spent with Pearson, that is. Before we get into that, I'd like to highlight one theme this mini-arc introduces that actually feels like it fits Crow: Legacy. Over the course of meeting Bolger again and being reminded of his time with Pearson, Crow starts thinking about whether he's taking over his former mentor's/father figure's legacy well enough.

(Crow having some Deep Thoughts TM, featuring one of Yusei's most relaxed, easygoing smiles in the entire show, probably.)

This theme, I would argue, is one of the major things this backstory introduces that really meshes well with the Crow we already had until this point. He's a community-focussed guy and absolutely a family person, if him taking care of Satellite orphans is anything to go by, so leaving behind a good legacy for the people after him (read: the kids he took care of) would absolutely be something he cares about. We see this element of legacy again in his cards during this episode, too, which canon implies he inherited from Pearson. (I'll get to THAT can of worms below.) And on paper, with the themes he's already got going, Crow being the only one to inherit his deck rather than build it all by himself would actually make sense!

However. This is where we have to get into the meat of the backstory. I'll start by listing the barebones information Crow's backstory with Pearson gives us, then going into why several aspects of it are either logistical or chronological nonsense.

So, as canon tells us, Crow met Pearson after Kiryu/Kalin was arrested, when the Enforcers/Team Satisfaction all went their separate ways. During this period, Crow had already set up shop near the original Daedalus Bridge and started out taking care of orphans, but it wasn't all smooth sailing. He was, by his own admission, "living aimlessly". Then, during a pinch, Pearson and Bolger show up, take care of some bad guys for Crow and the kids, and Crow sees a new role model in Pearson. Pearson, who rides the Blackbird, plays a Blackwing deck and owns Black-Winged Dragon. So, he joins up with Pearson, presumably learns how to work on duel runners from him, and also befriends Bolger. Then, one day, a fire breaks out at Pearson's workshop and the man in question dies, but leaves Crow his runner and his duel disk before he does so. End flashback. Because I want to tie this together nicely, we also learn later that Pearson technically left him Black-Winged Dragon, too, by sealing it in his runner. And, of course, that dragon later becomes Crow's very own signer dragon.

Several points to be dissected here. And funnily enough, Bolger's duel with Crow isn't relevant for any of them. Let's start with the big one: The timeline. I want you to remember that as far as canon is concerned, Crow is 17 during the DS arc. Moreover, it's canonically stated that Jack stole Yusei's first duel runner two years before the show's start, at which time Crow would have been 15. And their time together as the Enforcers must have been even before that, because Kiryu/Kalin was already in prison for a while at that point and Crow and Yusei don't reunite until the DS arc is basically in full swing. So, I'll make a vague estimate here and say that during the time of the Enforcers, Crow would have probably been 13-14. (Which is hilarious when you think about the fact that this gang of angry teenagers essentially took over the entire duelling underground of Satellite, but I digress.) Now we add the idea that Crow met Pearson after the Enforcers, but that he died before canon starts into the mix. That means Crow first ran into Pearson sometime around age 15, and that he then died presumably before Crow turned 17. So far, so good, that still slots into canon, even if it makes Crow pretty damn young for some things. He's even missing the personalised Blackbird duel disk he later wears during the Enforcer days, I went back to check. What he is not missing, however, are his Blackwings. And this is where canon may or may not have made an implication that, if intentional, breaks this timeline. See, during the scene where Pearson's workshop is burning down and he's already trapped under debris and has embraced death, he tosses Crow his duel disk and leaves him his runner.

(Two important screenshots, in sequence. One, Pearson with his duel disk still strapped to his arm. His deck is very obviously still in there. Two, Crow with that same duel disk, as made obvious by its distinct shape.)

What this implies is that Pearson also left Crow his deck. Which, yeah, fair enough, if I were dying in a fire I'd probably also think "fuck it, not like I'll need my cards in the afterlife". What this (and Crow's look the first time he sees Pearson's monsters) implies, though, is that Crow didn't start playing Blackwings until Pearson left him his deck. Which is factually untrue, because there is literal evidence in the show that Crow already had Blackwings during his time as part of the duel gang, before ever meeting Pearson. (The exact episode, if you want to check for yourself, is 33, where Crow summons both Bora the Spear and Blackwing Armor Master during a flashback.) However, I will concede that the show never actually states this is the case, it's just implied by what we see on screen, so perhaps the idea here was that Crow already played Blackwings before Pearson, but grew to love them even more through his mentor/father figure, and so later happily integrated the deck he inherited into his own. Crucially, canon never states this outright, either, though, so the option remains on the table. But, to give the benefit of the doubt here, the possibility that this could still slot in with canon and that it was just handled poorly is there. The same cannot be said for the Blackbird, however.

(Uh oh. So much for canon continuity.)

The above two screenshots directly contradict each other. First we have Yusei, upon reuniting with Crow in Satellite during the DS arc, casually remarking that Crow finished his duel runner. Which means that canon at this point suggests to the audience that one, Crow built this duel runner by himself, for himself, and two, that Yusei knew about it for a while already. Then there's the second screenshot, from the Pearson backstory episode, where Crow outright claims the Blackbird was left to him when Pearson died. I don't think I need to tell anyone that these two things can't be true at the same time. And again, I think this is where Crow fell victim to the writers not having a clear outline for him. At first, he was supposed to be this scrappy guy who also built a duel runner for himself, just like Yusei. But now, he's a signer, needs a backstory and a dragon, and because a theme of legacy is introduced alongside Pearson, the runner suddenly needs to be inherited, as well as (possibly) Crow's cards. Now, a crafty fanfic writer could probably reconcile the above contradiction somehow, and I know some stories that accomplished that. But the point isn't that we, as the audience/fandom could make this work, the point is that canon didn't make it work. What canon, sadly, also didn't get to work was Black-Winged Dragon.

(We meet again, bird-dragon.)

Here comes the next elephant in the room: Everyone and their mother who has watched 5Ds knows that Black-Winged Dragon was never implied to be a signer dragon up until the duel where Crow acquires it. In fact, an entirely different dragon is teased so heavily long before BWD ever shows up that it to this day is one of many people's major gripes with the show's writing.

(Why, hello, Life Stream Dragon! Fancy seeing you here.)

And yet, Black-Winged Dragon is turned into a signer dragon before Life Stream Dragon, who was teased more than sixty (!!!) episodes before BWD was ever even mentioned. Why? Simple: Because Crow became a signer and Rua/Leo didn't, because the signers all need dragons (or else the "5Ds" part kind of doesn't work), and because Life Stream Dragon thematically doesn't fit Crow.

Now, I've seen people post theories to reconcile this weird hitch in canon, hell, I've even posted an idea for how it could be reconciled myself. But, again, that isn't the point here. The point is that as far as good old, barebones canon is concerned, it isn't reconciled. Canon at first states there are five signers, suggesting that there are also five dragons. But then, the fifth dragon never shows up, and one of the signers dies, to boot. Only for canon to then teach us, oh, no, look, the signer marks can wander from one person to the next. And to add insult to injury (at least where the show's writing and internal consistency is concerned), the signer mark that was "freed up" by Roman/Rudger's death doesn't wander to Rua/Leo, who any attentive watcher would have expected to become a signer because it was heavily teased during the DS arc, but to Crow. Frankly, I'm not surprised many people were angry about this, but in case my disclaimer didn't make it clear, I don't think it's productive to pin this on Crow by claiming his cards became super popular irl. There was definitely an out-of-left-field writing choice made here, but the only answers as to "why" were left in the 5Ds' writer's room, I believe. At a guess, if you want me to throw out a non-sugarcoated theory as to why, though? They probably thought Crow would be a more interesting character for their target audience. He's a scrappy guy who sticks it to authority, he's brave, he's funny, he plays a cool deck, and most of all, unlike Rua, he never embarrasses himself in a duel on screen. Why am I highlighting that last part? Because I feel like people sometimes forget that the target audience for this show, at the time of its creation, were about twelve year-old boys. And you can feel free to contradict me on this, but most twelve year-old boys I've known and know don't want to project themselves onto a chracter who loses and gets his butt kicked a lot, and who's a bit awkward and steps in it sometimes, which is much closer to how actual twelve year-olds are—but that's exactly why they prefer the cooler characters. And Crow is the cooler character, by average twelve year-old boy logic, regardless of what the grownups of this fandom think.

So Crow gets a dragon and the writing doesn't bother explaining the how or why of it, let alone tackles any of the implications made by Black-Winged Dragon's existence as a signer dragon. (Like what does this mean for the larger worldbuilding? Does the Crimson Dragon actually have more than five servants, but chooses to only ever bestow five marks at a time? Can any "dragon" the Crimson Dragon chooses be a signer dragon, and it just so happens that the constellation of signer dragons is nearly the same as the original one in present-time 5Ds canon? Did the Crimson Dragon specifically elevate BWD to a signer dragon because it felt like it? Was BWD always supposed to be a signer dragon? Was Pearson supposed to be a signer, but died too early before the dark signer prophecy was set into motion? Am I overthinking this? (Yes.)) He also obtains his dragon in what feels like the weirdest way possible to me, because it suddenly??? Just decides to appear in his runner????? Out of nowhere??????

(Why is that here. How did it get there. Why did Pearson even put it in there. And HOW. Is it just wedged between the machinery or what???? And how on earth did Yusei, Bruno, and/or Crow never find it before this point considering how often someone tinkered on the Blackbird on screen???)

(This scenario, of course, also raises the question how the other signers even got their dragons. But like many other, interesting questions, this episode chooses not to interact with that one whatsoever.)

In short, this backstory is a bit of a mess, to say the least. For as much good as it tries to do by contextualising Crow's character and giving him something that sets him apart from the rest of the protag group, it feels like a rough draft of an episode was given the green light to be produced without any editing, judging by the contradictions and weird implications. As such, it harms Crow's character as much as it builds it, as evidenced by how much fandom backlash he still receives years later for the things that were bungled in this backstory and also in different aspects of his character writing.

Now, you may notice this post has gotten stupidly long due to just how convoluted the specific hangups of Crow's backstory are. I originally meant to cover the WRGP and even the Ark Cradle arc for Crow in this post, too, but due to how much there was to say about canon's attempt to finally make Crow a "proper" signer, I've decided that trying to force another two whole arcs in here would be a disservice to the analysis and the character, and also make this agonisingly long, so I'll close this part out here and write a part three, perhaps even a part four depending on how much material the WRGP gives me to work with.

There's one more thing I need to get back to before I finish up this part, though: The "screentime" discussion. I mentioned far above that I take issue with how some people seem to be using the word screentime, and now I can explain why. First, I want you to take a look back at the episodes I covered here, those being 65-95, essentially. Now, as anyone who usually dislikes Crow will tell you, Crow is present in most, if not all of these episodes. He's on screen. He's getting screentime, and, according to many people, hogging it, even. Okay. Now, I want you to look back up at the analysis. How many episodes did I cover where Crow actually gets something to do? As in, where he's either the focus of the plot or gets to contribute to it in a significant way? There's the old man Bashford episode. There's the Poppo Time clock episode. There's his two backstory episodes. That's four. Four episodes. If you're generous, you might add in the episode where he gets to narrate Yusei's backstory alongside Jack and the two fake Jack episodes where he gets to have an emotional moment or two with his foster-brother. If you're less generous, you'll note that none of these episodes have Crow actually interacting with the main antagonists in a meaningful way or set up anything important that pays off later. (Hell, he doesn't even get any, and I really mean, any meaningful setup interactions with Sherry, who ends up being his final-boss-level opponent during the final episodes! Aki gets more meaningful interactions with Sherry than him, not that this ever gets a payoff.) And this is why I take an issue with people claiming Crow gets so much "screentime" post DS arc. Because to me, "screentime" should be time spent letting a character act meaningfully within the story, which most of the pre-WRGP episodes aren't for Crow. He's on screen, yes, but in many episodes, it wouldn't matter one whit whether you replaced him with a nameless side character, which isn't exactly a great look for a supposed third of a protagonist trifecta. Perhaps I'm being too strict with my definition of "screentime" here, fair enough! But the claim that Crow hogs screentime already rubs the wrong way during this comparably unimportant arc, so I can't leave it alone. It feels very decidedly malicious to claim a character who during some episodes seems to only be there to provide exposition or make whatever jokes Yusei and Jack's personalities aren't suited to is stealing screentime from other characters. As for the WRGP duels and whether he's "hogging" anyone's screentime there, I'll dig into that nonsense in the next part, please be patient with me.

...Phew. Okay.

Now, before I leave you to wonder whether I'm every finishing my Crow analysis in full again, I want to attempt to do the same thing I did in part one—propose some changes that could have been made to the writing for Crow's character in order to make things slot in better with the rest of canon. With a small disclaimer, of course: These are just my suggestions as to how Crow's character could have fit into canon more smoothly and been done less of a disservice by his own backstory.

So. First, a quick-fire thing about the pre-WRGP, to get that out of the way: Crow, alongside Aki, is the only signer who didn't get his own confrontation with either Iliaster or their minions. (Yusei had Ghost, Jack had fake Jack, Rua and Ruka had Luciano.) Instead of having him confront a cranky old man in a scrapyard or Zora's son, they could have easily given him a very short side-story where he gets to experience the threat of Iliaster up close and personal, too. Hell, they could have very nicely cut the recap episode where Crow and Jack lie in the mess of Jack's terribly built coffee table and philosophise about Yusei's backstory for this, too. (As funny as their interaction about the coffee table and Jack lying on the floor with a perfectly intact coffee cup are.)

(Pictured: Two idiots (affectionate) contemplating life among the scraps of a shitty, broken coffee table.)

Then, there's the Pearson backstory, of course. So, here's the thing, I think two very different kinds of "fixes" could have worked here. Crucially, they both depend on Crow's status as a signer. I argued in part one that Crow might have worked better as a character if he hadn't actually become a signer, so I'll give both versions here. Let's go.

Option A: We try not to touch canon too much and Crow stays a signer.

How to do this? Frankly, I think what Crow's mark and Black-Winged Dragon were majorly missing was setup. The mark is the smaller offence here, since, fair enough, the idea that signer marks can wander from person to person isn't too out there for 5Ds canon. However, the lack of a dragon despite the alleged 5Ds stands out, and Life Stream Dragon's wasted setup only makes it worse. Thus, making Black-Winged Dragon make sense would have required giving him the same amount of foreshadowing as Life Stream Dragon, at the very least. And you know who could have been great for that? Sweet, ever-forgotten-by-canon Ruka. She was already shown having flashback dreams to the signer dragons' first battle against the dark signers, so who's to say she couldn't have gotten dreams about a shadowy, new dragon she's never seen before? Perhaps even dreams where she's not sure if the dragon is good or bad at first! It could have provided intrigue, it could have made the audience curious. To strengthen that, canon could have also bothered taking the question "hey why are there only four dragons now" seriously. No character in canon ever questions why there are five marks, but only four dragons. Even Rua, who was previously hopeful that he might secretly be a signer, never brings it up. If canon had bothered to actually point this mystery out, they could have used it not only to foreshadow Black-Winged Dragon, but to aid Life Stream Dragon's setup, too. What the fuck am I talking about, I hear you ask. Hear me out: Life Stream Dragon is shown way, way later down the line, long after the audience probably already accepted that it was simply never going to show up, literally bursting out of Power Tool Dragon's armour. We are not provided with an explanation as to why. Imagine if they had sprinkled in another dream Ruka could have had about the ancient past here. Imagine if they had used the opportunity to show something like, oh, during the battle, Life Stream Dragon got injured so badly they had to protect its wounded body with a suit of armour, in the hopes that it would heal. And with one original signer dragon out of commission, the Crimson Dragon sadly had to choose a replacement in between, because the Earthbound Immortals were sure to return. Bam. Black-Winged Dragon. Two signer dragons, set up simultaneously, without forcing the canon lore to do somersaults. Furthermore, to actually explain why Pearson had the dragon but wasn't a signer, they could have easily sprinkled in a flashback between him and Crow. Maybe Pearson could have mentioned how the dragon always feels like it's never really his, as a joking aside. It would have been enough for me to suspend my disbelief, you know? And then the rest of canon could have played out exactly as we know it. Crow could have confronted Bolger, could have obtained Black-Winged Dragon because maybe the dragon finally decided he was worth throwing its weight behind. The mystery behind the missing fifth dragon could have been solved, and it would have made for satisfying payoff without kneecapping Life Stream Dragon's setup or conjuring an extra dragon out of thin air. And really, stuff like the runner thing could have so easily been solved by simply picking one version (did he build it himself or inherit it?) and sticking with it. All it took was a little more care.

Option B: We assume Crow didn't actually become a signer, but try to keep his backstory intact.

Okay, this version works under the assumption that Crow, despite partaking in the final battle against Goodwin during the DS arc, didn't receive a signer mark. To make this work, I would, bluntly put, simply make it so that Black-Winged Dragon doesn't exist. Pearson can still play a powerful Blackwing monster during his flashback that Bolger wants to find and sell later, but it simply isn't that dragon. Really, Blackwings have enough to choose from there. If the backstory episodes had been placed a little later, say, during the pause in the middle of the WRGP, he could have even received something like Blackwing Full Armor Master here. (Yes, I know that card didn't exist at the time, but my point is that he could have simply received a powerup like Yusei and Jack did, instead of a completely new monster.) With this setup, they could have still added the intrigue of taking the question why there are only four signers now seriously. They could have still set up a mystery about why no one ever saw the fifth dragon outside of dreams. And it could have made Rua becoming a signer later, and in this version getting the tail mark instead of a completely new one, that much more satisfying. And Crow could have kept his "fuck destiny, I'm trying to save the world here"-attitude from the DS arc, providing a nice, amusing counterweight to our heroes chosen by an ancient Incan dragon deity. All it would have taken would have been not giving him a mark and switching out Black-Winged Dragon for something else.

So, take your pick, I guess. In the meantime, I'll try my best to work on part three faster than I did part two, lmao.

See you next time!

- it is kept secret for the longest time, because he's worried people will see you as weakness of his (you totally are), so he tries. It fails. Bro has the biggest grin on his face the second he spots you. I'm talking visible hearts and sparkles

Please let me hold your hand 😔 will collar you if you pull something like holding hands or kiss his cheek, ONE OF THE SEVEN FORBID YOU KISS HIM ON THE LIPS IN PUBLIC -> immediate collar after each one - you're still into that shit (if you're not, are you really a Riddle simp? 🤨)

- will try baking for you, but he takes everything literally (I'm pretty sure he is autistic, it's the fellow awtysm radar in me), so he often messes up. You eat it, because you love him (and it's not worse than Lilia's cooking, so)

- platonic: best friends. Besties. Will share so much tea on tea parties, about everyone, even people you guys don't know. It's so fun. It's a whole 😗💅 friendship. (Though Riddle doesn't know much gossip, it's fine, he will remember what you tell him)

- definitely bakes you sweets that are to your taste, if you don't like sweets he will cook. He's been preparing for this moment his whole life let him do his thing

- is afraid of blood. IDC. You get a cut and bro is freaking out, you're going to die while he's passed out because of the bloo- he is now gone 😔

- that said, loves taking care of you as long as it's not a bloody injury. Brings you blankets, cooks you soup, boils you tea, you name it

- teeth brushing together and I also mean the kind where he brushes yours, he says it's not kinky but you are not really sure

- doesn't know how to say no but is a master at leaving situations, like you don't even know how and your request with going idk where has turned into rule 8289402917364829 to not speak to people in glasses on a Thursday and now you have to compensate by eating his tart,,, or something

- 😏 <- why does he actually make that face

- you spend time together by having either little tea parties or just hanging out in his room

- his love language is baking, but I also think it's quality time

-> will ask you to join him in the kitchen while he bakes, to be next to him while he's studying and things like that

-> just loves having you close to him

-> ALSO ALSO: one of those friends/bfs that will force you into calling/messaging once you've arrived home, telling you to dress warm, buys you food, yells at Crowley for you (tells Riddle to yell at him because he was raised to respect others while he knows Riddle will not care - after all, Riddle likes you, too)

- walks you to school

- asks you to put Ace and Deuce into their place because he just might snap anytime soon and despite being afraid of blood, it will be the last thing a few of the Heartslabyul students will see ☺️

- doesn't have bad memory per se, but often forgets trivial things

- it's kinda endearing

- platonic: joins you and Riddle in your tea parties (tea in both senses), knows about everything that's going on in the school, all the gossip (Cater is the one who tells him, but anyway)

- "You don't have a magicam account😨😰?" "Wdym Crowley doesn't allow you to use your phone for social media and entertainment?!" Suddenly you are allowed to set an account 🤨

- EVERYTHING about your relationship is documented. He doesn't post all of the pictures and videos he has, but he posts a few.

-> likes to keep your relationship matters somewhat private rather than just post it all, it's for him only (and for you when he decided to finally send the pics from the date 2 months ago 😒)

- has a weird sense of humor you can't always understand. He seems like he's having fun, though, so it's fine, let him be excited

- he copes with internal conflict by occupying his mind with social media (twinss except I do that with games,,, anyway), telling jokes and being very unserious but he let's this mask fall whenever he's around you

- the actual Cater is so lovely 😔 he may not be as full of energy and as loud but he's still the biggest sweetheart

- you put him at a high place, whilst he puts everyone above him and is used to people just disregarding him, so when you show up and try your hardest to focus on him he just wants to cry for days on end. His opinions matter to you and you always listen to him even when he's talking about the stuff you have no idea about 🥲

-> late night crying sessions together (crying brings people closer), and you just love spending every second together

- he definitely needs assurance, so don't forget to text him a "good morning, love" a "goodnight, love" as well as words of affirmation and reminding him that you love him and him only and that he's amazing. Also please don't ignore his messages 😔 he will think you hate him

- refuses to get drunk in front of other people because he could start spilling his secrets, but he does when he's with you = crying a lot

- dates are two kinds:

1. you go to a very aesthetic location, you have a picture perfect (intended) date, it is later all over your social media

2. just you and him being in love and spending alone time together. His room, your room, in the garden, cooking together, you name it. All he cares about is you (only takes candid photos yet they look so good??? Sir??)

- just two people foolishly in love, that's it, that's the tweet (Tumblr post?)

-I really think he'd be one of the best bfs, hands down

- he writes fanfiction. "But, Noya, there's no way he-" ☝️😐 he does. I was thinking about Sebek writing FFs about Malleus, but Sebek doesn't seem like the type (Sebek for sure daydreams), but Deuce? He does. With Ace. They just share FFs and recommendations (he still doesn't know how to tell Ace he doesn't really write well)

-> tried to keep it a secret until you one day mentioned this cool fanfic you've read the night before with your favorite character

-> "you read fanfiction?😨" Yes, Deuce. "And you mentioned it to me so casually?" You lovable idiot

- thinks you are very cool and respects you greatly

- you have a group chat with him and his mom as well as a private chat with her

- the group chat is just the sweetest thing ever. His mom loves you and you love her, and Deuce is just there to observe and for the two of you to poke fun at (in an endearing way - talking sweetly about Deuce while he reads it all)

-> in the private chat, you're gossiping and having the best time of your life. His mom is so cool and such a girlboss (not to mention a total MILF - if it doesn't work out with Deuce you'll go for his mom 😔)

- that said, Deuce is very submissive and breedable

I will not elaborate

- dates with him are definitely outside, you either go for a walk, for a ride, or something like that

- brings you gifts all the time, they're mostly really stupid, but he's always like: "I saw this and it reminded me of you" or "I saw this and thought you might like it" your room is getting full, but you can't say no to that face.

- kiss his hair, he's sitting down and you do a little smooch, or the back of his neck

-> he gets all red and stuttering and then you hear it about it from his mom

-> "When will I get grandbabies?" Miss I want your child 😌☝️

- ehm

- just the loveliest puppy love, with a lot of hugs and kisses, he also doesn't care about where you two are and PDA is no problem for him (as long as it's like a little, he wouldn't straight out makeout with you,,, maybe)

- soft boy, will worry about everything but you and his mom will reassure him at all times, so we're good 😌

- BOY

- okay I ended Deuce with PDA and I'm going to start with it here

-> PDA all the way, will makeout at the lockers, near friends, he doesn't care. You do? Too bad (just kidding he will actually respect your opinion, but you also have to respect his so like)

- will bring you to his room while Deuce is there just for the laughs

- will try to protect you from trouble, because he has this feeling of needing to protect you

- "This one is for you, babygirl" and then misses his shot at club, you laugh,,, but why does he keep doing that when it has worked like twice so far (Floyd also tells you all his shots are for you and doesn't miss)

- screams when in distress, you scream with him. Yes we're fine, Jack.

- steals tarts and cakes from the dorm kitchen and then sneaks into your room to eat with you, then acts oh so sad when Riddle collars him and he has to go sleep at Ramshackle 😩😩😩 oh woe is me (sneaky bastard)

- you definitely curse at one another, jokingly, you call him a dick, he calls you a bitch. But you're his bitch and he's your dick 🫶

- people are concerned, but you guys are fine

- talks about his exes sometimes and then realizes his mistake and keeps apologizing for days, you tell him it's fine (you've already had the talk, and you know his mouth just runs faster than his brain can keep up - you do say if something he said hurt you and he then tries to make it up and not repeat it ever again)

- dates are never the same, like I can't stress enough how your dates are just in the spur of the moment and you end up eating bananas on Crowley's window (you almost fell to your death so that was the last time you did that)

-> has a weird habit of remembering things like that, like if you cut yourself - never be close to a knife, if you slipped on ice - not going outside when it's freezing, you almost fell from that window - never let you be higher than a chair when he's around. It's sweet, but let me live my life goddamn

- while texting he has started putting /j after everything just to make sure you don't misunderstand

- it's an emotional rollercoaster with him, but you somehow still return, is that okay? Not necessarily, but you love him too much and he loves you, too

- tells you often, that he loves you. Like, any change he gets, he will be saying "I love you" "Love you" it's kinda cute because depsite that, he still gets nervous and all red, at least you know it's genuine

- will beat up anyone for you (with Deuce because they're a buy one get one free, or frequently bought together)

-> you got used to your dates sometimes being with Deuce, but it's fine, you spend all the time together anyway (Epel hates your love, so you tease him on purpose, Jack is just lovable and is happy for you guys - just don't let it distract you from your studies!)

Why did Riddle get so much text? He's my favorite.

Why does Deuce have 2 banners? because he's my bbygirl and I couldn't decide, he looks great everywhere.

When will be the next part? With how life's going rn, soon.

Who will be in the next part? I haven't decided yet, but either Pomefiore or Octavinelle.

Have a great week everyone, hope life is going well, goodnight 🫶🫶🫶

How about some headcanons of the boys with a hostess s/o?

(your writing literally makes me sooo happyYy ASDFGGJKLAJDHSHAAAAAA❤️❤️❤️❤️)

Hi sorry this took so long, very busy last couple of days but I DO see all the asks and am getting to them in the order I received them. This prompt has been in the back of my mind for a bit and I'm super excited to finally get it out, all the deets below the cut as usual.

Kazuma Kiryu

He's had his fair share of visiting and helping with hostess clubs so he doesn't judge you for it. In fact, he sympathizes a lot with your struggles. Always wishes you a good day at work.

Kiryu understands that sometimes after hour dates happen as part of your work and he is seldom jealous. If a date runs long, he'll stay up late waiting anxiously for you. Not the type to bombard you with messages because he knows you're working.

He loves all your hostess outfits, it makes him blush so hard. If you ever ask him to help pick one out, he just goes bright red and says "Ah... you look so good in both, I can't decide". Sometimes he drives you to work or picks you up after a shift.

Majima Goro

Like Kiryu, he has some experience helping out hostesses so he's very supportive of you. He's a much louder supporter though, letting out a very loud "Knock 'em dead today, hot stuff!" as you walk out the door.

Jokingly gets jealous, pouting childishly if you have an after hours date and saying "Huuuh? Why cantcha just tell 'em your cute lil' ass is already taken?". In reality, he's just proud that at the end of the day you come home to him. He feels so lucky to have you while everyone else has to pay just to look at you.

If he gets time, he might swing by while you're working, much to your embarrassment and to the amusement of the other hostesses. He won't take up your time from customers, instead he briefly drops off gifts or food before giving you a kiss. Once he leaves, the other hostesses tease you a little but really they're just jealous how much he dotes on you.

Akiyama Shun

Literally owns a hostess club so your job doesn't phase him. In fact, he probably met you via work related business. Having said that, Akiyama never actually expected to date a hostess and the idea actually makes him blush a little.

He thinks you look cute in literally anything so don't bother asking him to help you pick an outfit. Whenever you ask if something looks good, he answers with a yes so quickly that it's almost scary. When you point it out to him, he says something like "I AM being honest, you do just look good in all of them."

The most sympathetic of all of the boys given the fact he literally owns a hostess club. Due to his connections, he can totally pull strings like giving you a day off when you're super tired or getting you a discount on certain jewelry. You also really inspire him to put more effort into running his hostess club.

Saejima Taiga

He's been to hostess clubs but he's more likely to meet you when you're off duty, somewhere like a grocery store where you bump into him. Saejima is totally a meet-cute kind of guy. He will be stunned by how beautiful you are.

Honestly neutral on the whole hostess thing. Any career you choose is fine by him as long as it's what you actually want to do. The most important thing is that you're happy and healthy.

He'll joke about whooping the asses of dudes who try to get handsy but he'd never actually go so far as to physically intervene with your job. Very good at restraining any jealousy and channels that energy into making sure you're okay by giving you shoulder massages after a long day or making you coffee before work. Saejima's a nurturer at heart.

Tanimura Masayoshi

He'd be surprised that you're a hostess. Tanimura isn't the most perceptive so he honestly never really bothered guessing what job you had. He just figured you'd tell him whenever you wanted to.

Tanimura is a protective little lad and his experience with work makes him very watchful over you. Worries most about your personal safety at work and says things like "If a guy ever tries to pull some shit, just call me and I'll be there right away!"

Hypes up your outfits because he loves the way you smile when he compliments you. Texts you on his breaks to ask how your day is going. He reminds you to take enough time to eat and rest, which is ironic given that he always forgets to eat and rest.

Ryuji Goda

Supports you fully, both emotionally and financially. He will ensure that you are the best dressed at your job. Ryuji will go out of his way to keep up to date on newest trends, so if there's a new clothing or makeup line coming out that's popular, you can bet that you'll wake up one day to find it gift wrapped on your nightstand.

At some point he will offer to support you financially, as he worries that you are working too hard and he wants you to know that he can support you both regardless of your career choice. As long as it's a job you want to do, he's satisfied. It's his way of showing that he's got your back.

Some of his men might whisper behind your back that they don't understand why a man like Ryuji is with someone like you but Ryuji will stomp out those rumors immediately. He'd never judge you for your job and on his watch no one will judge you for it either.

Nishikiyama Akira

He honestly thinks it's kind of cool that he's dating a hostess. Nishiki gets a secret kick out of noticing how many people want to spend time with you only for them to find out he's the lucky man who actually gets to be by your side.

Nishiki is the kind of guy to anonymously leave gifts for you at your hostess job, and they are always very flashy: a gorgeous bouquet or a custom necklace, things that will makes the other hostesses swoon and will make you blush.

Deep down, Nishiki actually gets jealous easily but he does try to hide it. He'll ask "So, how did your after hours date go?" with a hint of sarcasm but he can be easily soothed with a hug or a kiss. Nishiki doesn't actually mean any harm, he's just scared of being discarded.

Daigo Dojima

Out of all of the boys, Daigo has the least experience with anything hostess related. He's actually a little traditional in the sense that he's inexperienced but he's by no means conservative. At the worst, he'll just be confused as to what your job actually entails. However, Daigo is a logical man and an explanation is all it'll take for him to get it.

Daigo is the type of man to be very gentle with his partner, likely in direct contrast with the harshness of his work. He might not be able to call or text during the day, but he'll watch out for you in other ways like sending a private car to pick you up after a shift, or laying out a special new outfit for you before you wake up.

He really trusts your instincts and would never question the safety or legitimacy of your job. However, if you ever do feel unsafe, call him and you'll have the full force of the Tojo Clan at your back.

Mine Yoshitaka

Plays it cool when you finds out you're a hostess but is honestly the worst with jealousy. Mine is king of jealousy city. He doesn't necessarily understand why you work as a hostess when he can totally just take care of you both but he won't go so far as to outright tell you what to do.

Will go out of his way to not actively express jealousy as he doesn't want to be a bother and he totally knows it's a him issue. Honestly, teasing him about it actually helps. Knowing you see right through him and that you aren't bothered by these types of things makes him feel more at ease and the both of you can laugh about it later.

He is going to take you shopping and you cannot argue. Otherwise he'll just bring home one of everything and tell you to try them all on. He does it to support your work but also because he loves seeing you all dolled up. Mine is also totally down to teach you more about certain types of alcohol if you're unfamiliar with the subject.

[aurora-ze-aquarius]

Lol it’s like noon where I am, but have a good night, I guess? XD

Anyway, I’ll ask for general HC’s on Finn, Leland, Rod, and Holley, please! :)

Eyoo It's the spies :D

Finn

While he does take his work pretty seriously, he can also be pretty patient and friendly with his fellow spies (like in those cars 2 promotional videos, where he mentors Mater)

His closest friend was Leland and lemme tell you, he's definitely very traumatized after what happened

Tends to overwork himself, especially late at night

Needs both tea AND coffee to function in the mornings (Yes, he does feel like a traitor.)

He's getting therapy of course, but he isn't sure he can ever move on

Actually mentors the rookies at CHROME HQ, and they say he's pretty good at teaching them. Pretty patient, and encouraging, quite not what they expected at a spy academy, but it's welcomed nontheless.

Despite being really embarrassed he dragged a civilian into the whole Allinol mess, he's glad it worked out in the end. And hey-! Mater does make a pretty good spy.

Has a tendency to hyperfocus on things. When he does so, he tends to accidentally pay less attention to his surroundings. (Like what happened in Italy, with the helicopter)

Oh yeah, he likes savory foods

-

Holley

She's always wanted to become a spy since forever, though there are times where she does miss the quiet life of a civilian

Very into tinkering with technology, chances are; she almost always has the latest gadgets available in the market, and really likes to work with them

Came from a very wealthy family, who unfortunately do not approve of Mater, yet they can't do much about it because technically, he saved the world and was awarded an honorary knighthood

She knows too much isn't good for her, but she absolutely loves sweets and deserts

Has a long distance relationship with Mater, but they make it work quite well

A few years after the events of Cars 3, Holley retired and moved into Radiator Springs under her new civilian name

-

Rod

Sarcastic, witty, the king of roasting the everliving out of you. Do not attempt to make a comeback at him, it won't work.

May come off as cold and very serious, but really, he's actually pretty nice. Quite mischievous even.

Absolutely loves spicy food. They're the best. Anyone who disagrees otherwise is wrong.

Was said to be one of the CIA's masters of disguise. Suppose that all changed after what happened in the bathroom

Ladies (and lads) would swoon over him. He's got the looks and the charm to him. Heck, even when he was just a little boy in the hospital, the nurses immediately called him a handsome little baby

Has a younger sister named Lillie (who's around 10 or so) and those two were very close. Lillie wanted to become an agent like him, but after getting the news her brother was never coming back, she's faced with the reality of how dangerous his work truly was, and isn't sure what to think.

-

Leland

One of the more extroverted spies at CHROME, Leland is always there to lend a hand (er- tire) to his fellow comrades in need.

Met Finn at the spy academy, in which, they quickly became fast friends.

Though he may come off as laidback and aloof, he takes his missions quite seriously, and is actually a pretty fast thinker.

Came from a large family. Has 2 sisters and a brother.

His guilty pleasure is gumdrops, he can't help himself, ok?

Needs at least 5 cups of tea each morning to get work done. Finn often judges him for it, but Leland often retaliates by pointing out how he drinks tea and coffee, so really he's no better

A lot of folks at CHROME really enjoyed Leland's presence, and seeing him gone was just devastating. Leland's family was just as heartbroken, if not even more

That's all for now! Thanks for the ask

Pretty Little Liars (Chase X Chief)

A/N: XD another special chapter for @knnw-a because I just can't help but fangirl like a fool for her small comic teehee XD

Because my god its soo cute!!

I also added an extra scene where Chief blushed with Carin

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I think we all know how this would go by now XDXD

This. Is. HIGHLY. Suggestive. (Chase is very dominant in this, eheks!)

___

Lying.

That is what Chief Charlie Burns is good at.

Superb, as a matter of fact. It came to a point where he had risked his own life due to his... deception.

To say Chase was disappointed was an understatement. This distaste worsened when Chief flat out told Chase to not be bothered about his business with Carin, a female human that associated with them during the Lad Pioneer incident.

'This isn't going too well...' Chase growled, swinging a right hook on the wooden training equipment. 'Not only he's avoiding me, Chief is starting to get closer with that...femme.' his optics narrowed and he slammed a mean chop to the branch, nearly snapping it off.

"Oi! Be mindful of it! I'm using that too!" Heatwave yelled, snapping the police bot out of his brooding.

Chase sighed and wiped his tired face, still contemplating about confronting his partner about this.

"This has to stop." Chase muttered out loud and walked off, leaving his teammates in confusion.

"What has got to stop?" Blades asked, tilting his helm towards Chase. "Is it my singing? Or is it Heatwave's nagging? I mean, I understand that Heatwave is kinda bossy but-Ow!" Blades was promptly silenced with a knuckle to his helm by the firetruck.

"Hey! I was speaking the truth!" Blades cried out, pouting at his leader.

"You want another one?" Heatwave replied, holding his fist up again.

"No!" Blades denied, sticking his servos out. "You're mean..." he added softly.

"Yes. I am. Got a problem?" Heatwave rolled his optics, crossing his arms in front of him.

"Can't you be nicer?" Blades asked, rubbing his injured area.

"Sure. On one condition."

"Name it!" Blades said eagerly.

"You behave." Heatwave smirked and knocked the helicopter's forehelm before trotting away, leaving the yellow and white mech to sulk even more.

"Aww, come on!"

---

"Chief! I wish to speak to you at this instance!" Charlie demanded, using his holoform as he barged into the human area. On a normal occasion, Chase deemed that this humanoid avatar is an extra and seldom used it.

Today shall be an exception for the mech, and we all know WHY.

"Chase, what have we talked about coming into the human area?" Chief sighed. Taking a large gulp of coffee, the police officer set his cup down to face the ticked off Cybertronian in human disguise.

"Talk. NOW." Chase seethed, yellow eyes contrasting with Charlie's dark ones.

"About what?" the Chief replied with a clear annoyance in his tone.

"Why are you ignoring me? Why do you always lie to me? WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CARIN!?" Chase snapped, slamming both hands down on the table.

"Where is this sudden anger coming from?" Charlie's eyes twitched as he stood up to level with his angered partner.

"Haven't I told you that it's-"

"You tell me it's none of my business, ONE MORE FRAGGING TIME, I will not hesitate to use force." Chase lowly growled, successfully making his charge flinched.

"Chase, I can explain-"

"Do it then." The mech cut him off, which was a first for the both of them. All these while, Chase has been so obedient and lenient with the man that Charlie failed to realise that his guardian has feelings too.

And BOY, he is NOT happy now.

"Why are you always lying? Does that mean you don't actually care for me, sir? Is this another 'White lie' or so in your human terms? EDUCATE ME THEN!" Chase seethed.

Seeing that the aging human wasn't replying, the impatient mech decided to take matters to his own servos and made a grab of the man.

"H-HEY! PUT ME DOWN!" Charlie yelped, hitting Chase's back as the mech slung him over his shoulder. Chief's attempt on getting loose had failed as he was brought into a room.

To be exact, HIS room.

Locking the bedroom door, Chase harshly dumped the man on the bed and pinned him down, not letting the policeman escape.

"You're. MINE." Chase lowly stated, sending shivers down Charlie's spine.

"It is MY business to know EVERYTHING about you. I am to be given the HIGHEST clearance of your secrets and to be kept NONE of your fibbings. ARE. WE. CLEAR?" Chase stated, his commanding aura surpassing Chief's usual strict demeanour.

"C-Chase-"

"I said ARE WE CLEAR?!"

"Y-Yes..."

"Yes what?"

Charlie stared up at the mech, unable to answer as he gaped in shock. "I-I-"

"You BELONG to me. Is that clear?" Chase hinted again, pressing closer onto the grey-haired man.

"Yes...Sir?" Chief hesitantly replied, which made it seemed like a question rather than a statement.

Sighing, Chase ran a hand through his holoformed hair and smirked at the terrified man.

"I see you are STILL in doubts of who is in charge of this situation. Let me give you a lesson then, Charlie."

[travellingwiththedead]

Ok, I am less tired now so rambling post about Stranger Things 4.2. SPOILERS after the read more

Those two episodes were just o.o everything was happening so much xD

First of all: How very dare they? Eddie deserved better :( How did his arc end up being "You're only a hero if you don't run away?". That's bull. Living to fight another day is way more useful than randomly getting yourself killed. And I'm not even sure him staying and getting mauled by the bat things actually helped anyone.....

Max ;.; poor, brave girl. She also deserved better. Not sure what exactly El did to restart her heart but going by that scene where El can't find Max's mind at the hospital later I'm thinking that she was either to late and Max's heart had been stopped too long or her mind is still with Henry. Because it's been established that he basically eats the minds of the people he kills, right? And he killed Max so I'm guessing most likely she's with him?

El is a badass, no doubt, but is it just me or are her abilities coming with less of a cost now than they did in earlier seasons? Most she gets is a nose bleed yet she's been doing some quite strenuous things, especially while she's in Max's mind. (Also I vote she gets best quote for "I piggybacked from a pizza dough freezer." xD). And Henry's apparently got no draw backs any longer from using his abilities since he is in the upside down? Maybe because he's connected to that hive mind or whatnot.

And on the subject of Henry: My dude, what even is it you want to achieve here? I totally get the "people suck" part of his spiel but if he just wanted a place without people he might as well just stay in the upside down? Wouldn't he just destroy both places by completely ripping the barrier apart? I don't get it.

The adults got a way smaller role in these last two episodes than they did so far this season but I gotta say I love them for believing that the kids can win this. They say "Our kids got this, and we'll help them in any way we can". Love that for them.

Last but not least: Oh Will :( first he gets his little heart broken and then he has to put up with Henry kind of being in his head again. I just do not see this ending well for the poor lad. They'll kill him off in s5 (is there gonna be a s5), aren't they? It's going to be one of those "They're connected and both have to die if we want to get rid of the bad guy" things, isn't it? Because so far Henry's like heckin Michael Myers: No matter what they throw at him, leave him out of your sight for even a second and he'll survive it somehow. Guy's got third degree burns at the very least, gets thrown out an attic, and just walzes off.

Event for a cause | Niall Horan

Summary: Niall's been busy for his performance at The Royal Albert Hall for a cause and Y/N has work on that day what will happened to the both lovers?

" I know me too, I just hate that the fact it has to start shooting the same day you'll perform in Albert Hall" "If only I could change the date but it'll take time I mean its getting close and it'll be hard to reschedule." Niall said "No worries love you don't have too, I don't want you too, the work will be too much for you when you needed to focus on your rehearsals which will start tomorrow." Niall just look into her eyes and grateful for having an understanding partner "Aweee! I love you so much" Niall said and hug her "You will be there right? In my rehearsals? Please baby even just in rehearsal right?" Niall asked "Yes baby I'll be there, I'll be with you while I still can of course."

In rehearsal

Niall was confused "Cause I know you're tired and don't over work yourself you can relax now so I'll drive." "And that's why you're the best I love you" Niall kisses Y/N and gave her the keys

As they both enter the car Y/N said to Niall to pick a good music on the road while Y/N drives Niall open his phone and sees a notification from different social media usually he ignore it but sees Y/N's username so he open it "Baby, why's the music taking too long?

[writingsfromstarfleet]

Oblivious - Pavel Chekov X Reader

A/N: This is a request for @dancingwith-thesunflowers who’s just a lovely lil human, I hope you enjoy this!! You lot as always are included, I hope you enjoy too :) x

also known as mal can’t actually write endings

You weren't unfamiliar with the concept of being the youngest; most of your life you were at the bottom of the age scale wherever you went. Joining Starfleet, you were relieved somewhat to discover that you were not the only one. Pavel Chekov had joined you, a Russian lad with a talkative streak, and the the two of you quickly became friends.

Pavel was kind, and he was very funny, telling you stories of his childhood back home in Russia, and he had so many to tell. They never got boring. You had made a habit of meeting together every evening for a drink, the talks however drawing long into the night. Talks of this, talks of that, both everything and nothing in particular.

You had come slowly to love the feral little Russian, though you weren't about to tell him that for fear of him not feeling the same. A friendship was formed and the last thing you wanted to do was scare him away. So instead, you sat by and watched him chase after others. Pavel had met a girl, Irina, and he seemed to really love her. You laughed with him through the good times, and sat with him through the tears after arguments. They decided to call it quits after discovering they were too different.

Assigned to the Enterprise, though in separate departments, you were still as close as ever. You spent all the free time you had together, though now you were joined by newer friends, too. Sulu, Uhura, Scotty to name a few. Your new life on the Enterprise only pushed you closer, and to your dismay, your feelings resurfaced for him.

"You know," Uhura started, whilst the two of you were sat in the mess hall. "You should probably just tell him."

You looked up at her, pulling yourself from the daydream you were having.

"Huh?" you asked, feigning innocence.

Uhura had none of it, smirking at you over the top of her glass, the knowing look she sent you saying everything. Raising your eyebrows, you sighed.

"Am I that obvious?"

"Oh, Y/N, of course not, not to Chekov at least" she laughed, and you airily joined in. She was right, and you weren't about to deny it.

Things were going well with Pavel, though you still hadn't mentioned how you felt to him. You got all the more close, and it didn't seem as though that was going to change. That was, until, Irina came back. Almost immediately, he seemed infatuated, spending most of the next couple of days with her; he even missed your evening drinks. The most you saw of him was a quick passing in the halls, or at dinner, where he only spoke about things Irina had said or done. You grew tired of it, beginning to distance yourself slightly.

Why were you being like this? You asked yourself this daily. You weren't sure, it wasn't as though he was your boyfriend, nor did he like you back like that, something you and convinced yourself was true.

Sitting on your own in the mess hall, you were joined by the Captain, a change welcomed, but left you a little confused.

"Captain, an honour to have you join me." He laughed a little, not unkindly.

"Please, it's Jim, Y/N, you know that by now."

"Old habits and all, Jim, apologies." He shook his head dismissively, smiling as he sat.

He was formal during the day, however, but come the night he relaxed a little more. Kirk saw his crew as his family, and there was nothing he wouldn't do to ensure they were safe and happy. It was important to him, and to have a captain who cared so much, you considered yourself grateful.

"Now what's this I hear about you and Mr. Chekov, then?" Jim's question caught you off guard, and you lowered your glass and looked at him, confused.

"I'm sure I don't know what you mean, Jim."

"You can't kid a kidder, Y/N. I'm not as stupid as I may look, y'know? I know how close you two are, and here you are, on your own, looking sad. I also happen to have noticed the absence of my ensign, and putting two and two together, well, it became obvious."

Realising he was right, you shot him an incredulous look and he chuckled. Sighing, you opened up.

"He's been spending time with his ex from the academy, Irina. I barely see him anymore.."

"Then tell him how you feel about him."

"Not you, too. Is there anyone who doesn't already know?"

Jim smiled at you. "Apparently, just the two of you, now."

You put your head in your hands and sighed. Placing a hand on your shoulder, Jim spoke one last time.

"For what it's worth, Y/N, you haven't seen the way he looks at you."

With that statement, he cleared his tray and left you be. Mulling over his words, you wondered if what he said was true. Did Chekov like you, too? No, there was no way. You weren't exactly his usual type. You were friends, nothing more.

Down the hall, Chekov was making his way to the mess hall with Sulu, Irina having left that morning. They were deep in conversation as they walked.

"And I just don't know why Y/N is ignoring me." Chekov's voice was strained and had hints of sadness in it, and Sulu smiled at him.

"It might be because Y/N is jealous, did you ever stop and think that?"

"Jealous? Of what? We're friends, nothing more. I mean, I'd love to be with Y/N, but the feelings definitely are not returned."

Sulu raised his eyebrows. "I wouldn't be so sure, have you seen the looks you get?"

Chekov paused to consider the words from his friend. Did you like him back? No, you only saw him as a friend, surely.

Entering the mess hall, Chekov caught sight of you leaving, and decided to follow. Sulu nodded, joining some other crewmembers as he watched his friend leave.

Taking off down the hall, you knew he was following you, and you willed your legs to just keep walking. Your brain, however, told you to slow down and speak to him. There was nothing you wanted more in that moment than to avoid a confrontation, you didn't know how to word the thoughts in your head.

"Y/N!" His voice called for you; you walked on. "Wait, please, I want to talk to you."

"I don't!" You called back, nonchalantly. You thought you had out-walked him, given that it went very quiet. Feeling a hand on your arm confirmed you were incorrect.

"Why are you avoiding me, Y/N?" Refusing to face him, you looked away, trying to continue your walk. "Please?"

The tone of his voice made you feel guilty; truth be told, you didn't know why you were avoiding him. Your jealousy wasn't necessary, there was nothing to be jealous of, really. It's not like he was yours to be jealous of. All of these thoughts raced through your mind in that minute, so much so that you failed to answer him.

"Y/N? Y/N?"

"Because I love you!"

His eyes widened, and so did yours. You couldn't believe you said that out loud, and you backed away slowly.

"I- uh, well, I-uh.." Failing to find any words, you looked down at the floor. Pavel smiled, his eyes now looking at you with such adoration.

"Oh, you precious thing."

Before you could look up to question his statement, he lifted your chin up so he could look you in the eye. With as much gentleness you'd ever felt, Chekov placed his lips on yours. Shocked at first, you slowly melted into the kiss and cupped his face with your hands. He placed his arms around your waist, pulling you closer. Sadly, it had to end at some point, and you pulled back to look at him.

"You.. do like me. I thought they were just joking" you laughed out, resting your forehead against his.

"They? Oh, the crew told you the same as they told me."

You stared at one another, and laughed. Genuine, true laughs, stood in each others arms.

"How could we have been so.. oblivious?" You asked between laughs, and he smiled down at you and shrugged.

"I really do not know."

While you may have been oblivious before, now, you were not. You loved him, he loved you, and that was all that mattered.

[bansheefox]

Sooo I am the only one who watched the coming soon trailer for next episode maybe a 100 times already and it's going insane?

I'm going try to break it down a recap what we are seeing, but since the screenshots I have were taken on my phone, the quality is horrible, so sorry for that.

So soon at the beginning we see this fella (top) here, wearing that neck piece that represents the high council (I guess?) and I seen a lot of people saying it's Rassilon, but I don't think it is.

Next (bottom) we have the one and only Gat back (is great cause I personally think she's very hot) but that could mean that what we seeing are images from the past, most likely what The Master is showing the Doctor. Gat is accompanied by two Time Lords or just regular gallifreyans, I can't really tell

Next (top) we have the Master offering his hand to the Doctor and by the background, must be very early on the episode, as soon as he got himself in Ko Sharmus . We also have in the trailer a little more ahead The Doctor pleading for him to save her friends and she'll do whatever he wants, so maybe it's in this moment, since the trailer does not make that clear

Next (bottom) we have Gallifrey destroyed, nothing new here, very standard at this point

Now it gets interesting since we are now looking at The Doctor at Gallifrey (top), facing the destruction. Not a lot to analyze here, but it's going to be brutal watching her confronting her trauma like this

Next (bottom) on we have the Master, looking very pleased with himself and looking up. On the ground we can see gallifreyan and and off camera by his side we see The Doctor trapped in something, some sort of contraption which seems very interesting. By the looks of things there are still in Gallifrey.

Next (top) we can see a Cyberman ship, I can't really tell if is the same one that is carrying the Cyberarmy and Yaz and Graham cause I really didn't pay much attention to the ship design last episode, but it's probably the same one. They are most likely landing in Ko Sharmus.

Next (middle and bottom) we have another interesting shot of the Cyberarmy actually in action on the ground, and as we can see, that's Ryan on the corner so we are definitely in Ko Sharmus now and in the next shot we see Ryan looking at the same Cyberman very scared/shooketh

Now let's get to the shots that left me trembling and screaming into the void. Here we have my granddad Graham looking very worried and bruised?? Is that a bruise on his cheek? WHAT THE FUCK GUYS. YOU CAN NOT LEGALLY HURT GRAHAM, THAT'S FORBIDDEN, and he is talking with Yaz and MY BABY YASMIN KHAN HAS TEARS IN HER EYES? I AM SEEING THAT CORRECTLY CHIBS? DID YOU MAKE HER CRY AGAING? THAT'S ALSO ILLEGAL! STOP HURTING MY FAMILY 2020!

Next on we have the Master snapping his fingers in The Doctor's face (maybe a form to establish a telepathic connection?) And telling the Doctor to brace herself.

And the next shot is of the Master's eyes, probably having made the connection and showing the Doctor something? I have no idea.

Now this shit right here left so scared I can't even form words correctly. In this next shot (bottom left) we have the Doctor looking very scared/shooketh/ and we can see metal with something blue shining in the middle in front of her, so probably Cybermen?

Next (top) we have someone (WHO LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE YAZ WOULDN'T YOU GUYS AGREE?) looking through something and crying. Here's where it get's tricky because I could swear she was trapped somewhere watching something happening to someone important to her (maybe she's watching Graham get that bruise?) BUT someone idiot had to plant the seed of paranoia in my brain and said that it looks very much like she's looking from the inside of a Cyberman AND WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK??? IT CAN NOT BE RIGHT???

Next (bottom right) we have the same shot of the Cyberidiots walking around like assholes and a gun pointing at them (Ryan or that old guy?)

Next on we have Ryan with a gun and that old guy with him entering somewhere that looks suspiciously a lot like where the Doctor and the Master where.

In the next shot we see the Cyberjerks shooting at my new crush, the hot girl with the hat *insirt here 'Quit playing games (with my heart) by Backstreet Boys* so R.I.P to my hot wife with the cute hat (thanks for that Chibs)

And in the last one we have The Master using a tiny guy (sorry but that's kinda hot?) And he seems to be in the same place where we just saw Ryan and the old lad (ohh look at me being British)

Okay, so next we have the Doctor and the Master standing somewhere (Desolation???? It kinda looks like it) not much to analyze here.

Next we have the Doctor yeeting herself at the Master ( ARE THEY GOING TO FIST FIGHT CAUSE FIRST OF ALL THAT'S HOT AND SECOND THAT'S WHAT I CALL SNAPING) and it look like she's had enough with his games. (Poor thirteen tho, she looks like she literally being dragged through hell)

And next we see The Doctor holding her head and screaming a la Jean Grey, and that poor baby is not really going to catch a break this episode huh. I JUST WANT TO WRAP HER IN A BLANKET, GIVE HER SOME ADVIL AND KEEP HER SAFE, IS THAT TO MUCH TO ASK? It looks like something is going wrong with the telepathy thing.

And last but not least we have another shot of the Cyberbutts looking like BITCHES as always

Next on we have Ryan screaming which filled me with fear and anxiety, cause he's screaming a NOOOOO so pained that it can only mean something is happening to either Yaz, Graham or the Doctor herself (my money is on Graham to warrent that reaction from Ryan, but worry not guys, I am halfway through selling my soul to keep my fam alive, safe and happy)

And in the last we have THOSE ASSHOLES AGAIN and that's it.

Soooo let's talk guys, tell what you think and let's theorize to survive until next Sunday.

By the way, if you guy wanna talk with my poor depressed soul, hit me up please, I would love to talk about the show with laterally anyone, since my cat is tired of hearing it.

Roger stands on the East corner of Hyde Park, his foot nervously moving up and down and his fingers tapping against his own thigh. He was probably much earlier than the time he and Y/N had arranged the meeting, but he was very much anxious about actually meeting her. He got here as soon as he could.

Roger watches taxis, yellow cars and buses driving by, waiting for Y/N to get out of each of them, but to no avail. Then, as he watches a girl similar to Y/N get out of a taxi - not really sure it's her, a feminine voice startles him from behind.

“Hey,” she says softly, and he can hear she's been running. Her hands are in her bag, putting her money back into it, eyes fixated on her hands, “sorry I'm late. There was a small traffic jam.” Y/N smiles innocently up at Roger and he almost faints.

She's just as beautiful as he remembers last seeing her, months ago. The last occasion they were together, she wasn't in a fit state, but she looked more beautiful than ever. Y/N's wearing her best dress - yellow with different flowers scattered all over it, ending just above her knees. 

“Hello.” Roger says and moves his sunglasses up into his wild hair. Y/N smiles at him again, visibly nervous about meeting him as well. 

“Hi, Roger.” She replies. There's a silence fallen between them while they look at each other, and then Y/N clears her throat, bringing Roger out of the small trance. “So, are we going anywhere?”

“Yes, yes, we are.” Roger coughs anxiously. “Uh, anywhere you want!” He waves his hands around. “Fancy a bite? Or, or, or, a uh... coffee?”

Y/N can tell he's nervous and she's slightly relieved that she's not alone in this. “Yeah, uhm... coffee's too hot for today, though. Maybe a milkshake?”

“You're quite right there,” Roger replies and chuckles, 'love' almost slipping past his lips out of instinct, “alright then. Let's head to Oxford Street. I think there is a—“

“—a sort-of-american diner, if I remember correctly.” Y/N finishes his sentence, knowing him and herself too well. It was a place they went during rainy days, mostly, or when they were craving something of a slightly different culture.

“Yeah.” Roger nods and smiles, turning slightly so they can walk side by side in the direction Y/N came from. Her eyes are on her feet, a smile playing on her lips as she recalls the times of eating out in the restaurant with Roger. He's watching her, sun shining on her face and legs, through her pink sunglasses that do no good in guarding her eyes from the sun. She's ever so beautiful.

Roger thinks his favourite looks of her are when she's in the sun, or at home, sleeping. Maybe making breakfast? He can't really choose. In all truthfulness, she's beautiful always and everywhere. 

“Here we are.” Y/N brings him out of his thoughts, waving her hand slightly to show that they've reached the place. Looking through the window, some people are inside, but not too many. Roger hopes that no paps or fans show up while they're there. Not today, it's too important. Y/N's too important. “Roger?” 

“Yeah, yeah.” He mumbles and holds open the door for Y/N who eyes him suspiciously while walking in. A quiet 'thank you' escapes her lips and then Roger's standing next to her at the entrance inside. The place is bigger than it looks from the inside, and there's even—as far as Roger can see—space for them in the small garden. “Let's sit outside, in the sun.” He suggests. “If you don't mind.” He quickly adds. 

“No, it's alright. Let's go.” Y/N agrees and they walk through the diner. The workers and one or two of the people there eye Roger and Y/N, recognising them. They're here almost every day and seeing the rockstar with his girl isn't a shock anymore. What's the shock this time is that the pair haven't been here together for more than half a year, and they've returned.  

There's a table for two right in the middle of the terrace with the sun shining straight down. A perfect place for proposing, he thinks. Roger - being the ever-so-kind gentleman - pulls a chair back for Y/N, in which she gladly takes a seat on and then sits down himself.

A waitress soon comes and gives them the menus, and walks away. Both their eyes skim over the foods and drinks, and Y/N remembers different occasions about some of the orders they've made here. The cheese burger with fries and coke were ordered when Roger had a tragic hangover. Two cheesecakes and chocolate milkshakes were taken when it was late at night and the two of them wanted something sweet. Delightful memories.

“I'll have the vanilla milkshake and some ice cream with the same flavour.” Y/N says to the waitress once she's returned. Her chin is rested upon her curled up fist, her elbow on the table. She's looking upwards, and with the sunglasses, her beautiful hair and dress, Y/N looks like a dream to Roger. He sighs happily.

Y/N eyes him once it's his turn to order, but she doesn't look at him very visibly. He's still thinking, humming as he does so, and then he makes up his mind. “I'll have the same, thank you.”

Usually he'd settle for a Pina Colada, a Martini or Sex On The Beach, but Y/N realises he's made progress. Perhaps it's because of her. Or because he can't live without her and the things stopping him are alcohol, cigarettes, parties and drugs. The waitress walks away with their orders, and they're left alone outside in the sun.

“Nice choice.” Y/N states with a slight grin, looking at him cheekily. Roger shrugs.

“Guess I'm a different man than I was.” He replies and they both chuckle. Perhaps he's not telling the whole truth, because that's what he decided just today - he's going to change. “So,” Roger leans onto the table, his arms crossed over one another, “how have you been?”

Without you? Miserable. “Well,” Y/N starts to say and then leans more onto the table as well, “I've been keeping up with work because I no longer have any distractions, and I've had time to develop my creative work.”

“Really? What have you done?” Roger asks, excited to hear if she's started painting or writing. 

“It's not much, but some drawings and poetry.” Y/N answers. “Ah, it's not poetry if none of the lines have rhymes! It's just rubbish.”

“Now, don't do that, love.” He encourages. “Anything you do is magnificent. Hope you'll show me some of that rubbish one day.”

“You don't wanna read it.” Y/N retorts. “It's not enjoyable.”

“I can't—and neither can you—say so until I've read them.” Roger insists, and the waitress comes just in time to bring their orders. Both of them have to lean back into their chairs so that she'd have place on the table to place their orders.

After the waitress leaves, Y/N shoots Roger a short shy look, her cheeks blushing a tint of pink. She leans towards her milkshake and plays with the straw, looking at Roger. “So how have you been?” She asks Roger, making his eyes drift up from her hand to her eyes.

“Uhm,” his voice cracks a little and he clears his throat, “shows and some new music. That's really all that has been going on since...” Roger looks out into the distance, his hand touching his dry lips slightly.

“Roger, I asked you how you've been, not what's been... happening.” Y/N says and her look is a little devastated. Roger sighs and looks at her for a short moment before his eyes and head go down, tired, really.

“Fuck, I—“ his voice breaks again, “I—I—I can't, uh... I can't live without you.” Roger finally looks at Y/N and the look on his face makes her heart break, and she wants to cry. “I've been horrible. At shows, I give my best but the lads are still a little disappointed, and then afterwards I drink or get high, and then sleep the next day away. I don't... I don't know how to live normally when you're...”

Tears slip down Y/N's cheeks and she quickly grabs Roger's hand, holding it so tight in her grip that she fears it might break his knuckles. But Roger's numb as the love of his life holds onto his hand. He looks at her.

“Roger...” she drifts off because she doesn't know what to say to him. 

“And I didn't want to tell you because I fear that you don't love me anymore, maybe you've found someone else and my phonecalls were getting on your nerves and I just...” Roger flails his free arm around, “I missed you so much I didn't know where to put myself, and I took drugs and alcohol, thinking they'd help me forget about you, but they only worked for a while.” There is a pause. “I can't live without you anymore. I don't know how to live if you're not here.” He says. Y/N listened and she nodded, his words making her cry. 

She doesn't know what to say for a while, and after a few minutes Roger wants to speak up, thinking that Y/N doesn't feel the same way, but she speaks first, beating him to it. “I'm sorry...” she is interrupted by a wheeze of her own, “I'm sorry for ever breaking up with you, I only thought it would hurt me less, and that was so egoistic and sounds so stupid when I say it out loud! I never...” she calms her erratic breaths and cries, “I never wanted to hurt you like I apparently did.” She pauses and pulls her sunglasses off with her free hand. “I am so, so sorry.” Y/N's looking Roger in his beautiful eyes and she sees relief and... 

“I forgive you.” Roger says and suddenly stands up. Y/N is so tied to him that she stands up right after him instinctively. They step closer to each other so their faces are barely not touching. “I forgive you, and I never thought badly of you. Never.” 

And suddenly, he's pulling her in for a steamy kiss, grabbing her face by the cheeks, not minding if any strands of hair are in the way. Y/N gasps through her nose out of shock and then leans herself towards Roger, both of them almost losing balance. Her arms immediately link around his neck, pulling him as close to her again.

She missed this everyday. His lips, his breath on her skin, his hands, his touches, his voice, his emotions. Y/N hadn't even realised half of the things she was missing of Roger.

They both feel each other's tears streaming down their faces, tasting salt in the kisses and they're tears of happiness. Y/N giggles, and it breaks the kiss but Roger would want nothing more than to see her smile because of him and his face breaks out in a smile, as well. He has the widest smile on his face Y/N has ever seen him wear. 

“I am never leaving you again.” Y/N says quietly to him and touches Roger's nose with her finger. She then caresses his cheek and kisses him again. “And that's a promise.”

“You won't be able to.” Roger replies and Y/N raises her eyebrows in question, tilting her head back a little. “If you haven't forgotten, these hands are quicker than lightning.”

Y/N laughs, tilting her head back fully. “Don't doubt my memory of you, Roger Taylor.”

The pair sit down at their table after some fooling around and finally eat their cake and drink their milkshakes. The sun shines down on them through their sunglasses as they're smiling at each other and talking about different things. Few of the waitresses are meltin in awe, seeing Roger and Y/N reunited and being loving towards each other. All was well.

The end!

I Will Be There

Pairing: Harry x Character: (Ella)

Prompt: Where (Ella) texts Harry about how she's going to be horrible during her AMA'S performance. Harry then video chats her and they talk about it

Warnings: Fluff, supportive Harry, body image, a little cursing

_ _

A/N: Hello! This was another idea I had and decided to finally write it.

_ _

It's been months since Ella found out that she was going to be performing at an awards show.

The American Music Awards.

Ella has been petrified about being at the event altogether. She was excited that she was asked to perform her latest singles, but she was also going to be performing in front of so many other artists that she has admired for so long. She was nervous about what they would think of her.

Ella has been friends with Harry since one of her close friends invited her to go to this wedding she was invited to. Y/n went and there is where her friend introduced her to Harry Styles, the charming British lad that once worked at a bakery.

Ella and Harry then became very close and they always had contact with each other no matter what country they were at.

Currently, Harry was in London where he was resting at the moment after touring for a whole year.

Ella was in California where she was lying in bed, her head wrapped up in a towel because she just came out of the shower. Soft music was heard from her Bluetooth speaker that she had mounted on her nightstand.

She began texting Harry, telling him the big news that she was going to perform in less than a week at the AMA'S.

"Love. That's amazing! Congratulations."

_"I'm nervous though. What if I sound terrible and what if they make up stories about me that I can't _sing or I didn't dress appropriately."

"Love, you are going to be fine."

"I can't do it Harry."

"Hold on Ella"

Ella waited for a couple of minutes until she received a video call from Harry. She smiled at the picture she had his contact as, him puckering his lips wearing his pink Gucci glasses.

"Can you hear me pet?" Harry's voice rang out, as his face started to shift and discolor for a bit until he stopped moving around and his face was still.

"Harry?"

Harry smiles, showing off his dimple

"Yes love. Its me."

"Why FaceTime? We were just texting."

"I like FaceTime better. I wanted to talk to you face to face."

Ella touched her chest, feeling touched by Harry's little response.

"I wanted to say that no matter what happens at your performance it's only going to last for three or four minutes. Don't overthink it, while you're up on that stage you'll get nervous, yes, I'm not going to lie about that. But once you finish performing you're gonna wish it never ends, but it always does."

Ella let that sink in her head, as she imagined hearing the praising and claps from the audience and seeing smiling people bobbing their heads to the beat of the music. You wanted to feel ready, but you were so close to being ready now that Harry made the performance seem as a regular performance in front of your fans or family.

You were ready this whole time, you just didn't want to make yourself think you were ready.

"Ella don't worry, I'm going to go the AMA'S I'm going to be backstage and I will be there if something happens or if you feel self-conscious. I'll be there for you Ella, I won't allow you to feel alone because I'm going to be with you."

Ella frowns and she remembers that Harry was on break after he finished his world tour. He can't go, there is no humanely way that Ella will allow Harry to travel down to California just so he can be with her.

"Harry you can't come. The AMAS is during your break. I'm not going to let you come and see me. I don't want you to interrupt your vacation just for me. "

He shakes his head, closing his eyes for a bit and opening them, "You can't stop me love, I'll make it, don't worry okay? I don't want you to worry about me, just relax okay I'll be fine."

Deep inside you were regretting telling Harry about the show you were going to perform, but at the same time you wanted to see someone from the crowd that wouldn't be judging you.

 Flashback

“Does she really think she has a good voice for the boss? Look at her, she’s short and ugly.”

Ella would constantly hear the other girls banter about her and how she looked. She always felt self-conscious about her body and especially her face. She was wanting to change her face and add more definition to her body as well, but her sister stopped her from choosing to change her beautiful features.

“Ella, you don’t have to change your face to stop the people from talking about your face and body. Don’t pay attention to them, they’re just jealous because you’re one of the lucky ones that got signed off with a record deal and look at your nose, honey we have the same nose, why do you want to change your nose?”

“I am tired of hearing them talking about my face how they always tell me how my eyebrows are ugly and that my body is my obstacle because I’m… fat.”

“Baby, you’re not fat stop saying you’re fat. You’re beautiful the way you are and there is no one that will change that. Because if you change how you look, you are changing to look like the person that the people want to see you be, but once you change your body you’re not going to recognize yourself you’re going to feel as if there is a stranger in your body. You’re not going to feel as yourself.”

_But her sister didn’t understand how she felt when those girls would criticize her about her looks and how they constantly told her to fuck off and leave the building where she was training her voice where she was determined to become a famous singer or to become someone. Ella just wanted to be noticed for once. _

“I just want them to stop Daisy, I can’t take their judgments anymore, I hate hearing them talk about my body and I just want to change it so they can finally stop talking about me for once.” Ella sighed out, wiping away the tears that started to fall down her peachy, freckled cheeks.

“I know darling, but you can’t just decide to change your body because you want people to stop talking about you. If you want to change the way your body looks you have to do it for yourself to be happy not to make someone else feel happy. Remember it’s your body, you’re going to feel the pain, but them… they aren’t going to feel any pain because it’s not their body. So if you change your body, you’re not going to be benefiting yourself, you’re just going to be another victim of theirs.” Daisy emphasized, cupping her little sister’s cheeks and kissing her forehead giving her reassurance that she wasn’t alone, that she had someone to be there for her and that she was never going to leave her side until she finally admitted that she doesn’t have to change for anyone’s liking.

Flashback ended

  “Love? Did you hear me?” Ella came back to the present where she was seated on the mattress of her bed, forgetting that she was facetiming with Harry.

“Sorry Harry. Did you say something?”

“It’s all right. You’re getting a little sleep eh?”

“A little Harry. Sorry I wasn’t paying attention to you, I got uh… distracted.”

“It’s fine love. I’ll text you or you can text me… whichever works.” Harry smiles and looks down, showing off his beautiful dimples that Ella loved so endearingly.

“Yea, yea. Maybe tomorrow? We’ll see Harry.”

Ella stared at her computer screen as she remembered the first time they met at that party and how he was like a magnet, pulling in anyone that was affected by his beautiful charm, and aura. That was his gift, he always managed to pull anyone that felt interested in knowing this lean, tall green-eyed man that at first looks intimidating, but once you talk to him he is nothing, but a big stuffed bear that you could cuddle with every day.

 The comfortable silence brought Harry back as he was also distracted staring at Ella’s freckled cheeks, he found her cheeks his favorite facial feature on her face, reminding him of the many little stars that stare back down on him every night.

Harry breaks the silence by clearing his throat which cause Ella to come back from her deep thoughts, as she stared at Harry’s pink heart-shaped lips as he was speaking,

“Love, it’s getting a bit late. Im’a leave ya so you could rest up for your day tomorrow, yea?” Harry asked, as he was rubbing his eyes himself, showing that he was also tired from the long talk.

“Yea. I should get to sleep, I just lost track of time. Sorry if I kept you up.” Ella apologized, covering her mouth as a yawn escaped her lips.

“Don’t apologize love, it’s actually already morning here, I couldn’t quite fall asleep, I kept overthinking over somethin’. But thank you for texting, I would’ve still be up doin’ nothin’.”

“Harry! You never mentioned it was morning there already. I forgot that London is eight hours ahead. I’m so sorry Harry, I’m going to leave you so you can get your rest. Good night Harry.”

“Don’t be sorry Ella. It felt good to talk to you again. We should do this again some other day, maybe tomorrow, or… I mean when you can or if you want to do this again.” Harry stuttered out, as Ella smiled finding Harry being cute, stuttering trying to be understood by her.

“Yes Harry. I enjoyed this very much, especially your company. Good night Harry, dream of your lucky stars.” Ella finished off, as she watched Harry smile again showcasing his infamous dimples,

“Good night love, dream of your many desired dreams, I’ll see you real soon Ella.” He farewelled, as Ella smiled, but her smile disappeared when she saw the video call come to an end when Harry pressed the little red button on the screen and her screen was replaced with a black, empty space.

A/N: Hey! Let me know what you thought of this one, and feel free to go to my ask box, or message me if you want! I would love to hear what you thought. Much love -A.❤💓

P.S. (Let me know if you want this to be a series or not. okay that's it im going now.)

Oh dear, I'm so dumb ahahhahah! I've never used tumblr before, I created this account only for contacting you, and knowing that I could forget to put the anonymous I called it a random name instead of my Twitter account so I could still remain anonymous ahahahahhah. I feel like scooby-doo where in some episodes they tied the monster up and then there was no one or it was just a robot and they hadn't found the real criminal ahahahhahah. 

Also thank you, yesterday I was feeling even worse but today I am better thank you, a little bit tired but better and I would gladly cuddle with you on a sofa with tea, I love tea🥺 How are you sweetie?

Yeah I've ridden for about eleven years now and don't worry sometimes I find it scaring too, now the horse the I ride is a little bit fearful and when she hears or see something different she gets scared so I have to be careful but I absolutely love her, she is the sweetest horse I've ever met, she loves cuddles so much, some time ago I found her laying in her box and I spent a little bit of time with her like this, just chilling in her box and cuddling. She also loves food so much, the other day she tried to steal my bag because there was food in there ahahahah.

When I'll take my driver licence I will, I couldn't before because the closest shelter to me is not reachable with public means so I'll have to wait but next month I'll do the theory exam so in a few months I will be able.

I understand you, I don't live in a big city fortunately but I don't live in a very green area so moments in nature are a blessing. I'm lucky because I have a little garden and I love listening to music or studying there, especially during spring or summer.

I don't have a favourite genre when it comes to music but my favourite artists are Louis, Zayn and Little Mix, I also love Mika and I listen to some italian music too (I'm from Italy), when it comes to books my favourite one is called "Chosen by a Horse" by Susan Richards, it's really sad and it makes me cry everytime but I love it so much. My favourite movie... I don't know I like watching movie sometimes but I don't think I have a favourite, I don't know there is nothing coming to my mind... what about you? What are you favourite books? Movies? Artists/songs?

I have never died my hair, I would like to die them lilac but I would never do that, I like my dark blonde colour and I am too scared, but I love died hair, I remember you said you have your hair pink, that's so cool😍😍 OMG pink is so cool!

Also I would love to help you with your chapters, ask me away anything and I will help you, wow you write? I am every day always more amazed by you, you surprise me every time😍

I hope you have a good day love, I can't wait to talk to you again and sorry again if I haven't talked to you yesterday🥺💙💙 *giant hug for you*

That is how I felt! Or like, when you open a gift box to find another gift box or bag inside.

I hope this week we have better days my love, I really hope we do.

I’m starting classes this week and I am excited for some of my courses but nervous. I didn’t have the best experience last year, even more during the end of the fall semester since I had to cope with prepare for exams, submit assignments and projects, all while trying to grieve my grandma’s passin away.

She and I were very close. Even now after some months, it’s still hard.

I’ve been always very fearful due to my moms paranoia, always afraid of the rides at the fair, of motorcycles, horses, climbing trees or just overall heights. Ironically, my mom did broke her nose riding a motorbike when she was young, and fell from a horse while partying and almost broke her hip 5 years ago.

Your horse though, sounds amazing, I would be up for feeding her and cuddling, and even brush her hair. What kind of food do they eat? I’ve only see them get fed apples and carrots in movies. Does she have a name? 🥺

Of course your favorite book would be titled that! you are so cute, wait did you ever saw a tv show called Saddle Club? I don’t remember much about it but I wanted to call you saddle ___ (I don’t know what your pronoun is) I’ll stick with saddle pal/lad for now 🥺 The only thing I have engraved in my mind about that show was their song “Hello World” because it was the first song I learned in English. Well that one, and - this is what dreams are made of- from the Lizzie McGuire movie.

I actually made a bingo with some of my favorite movies a while ago, let me know how many you got/seen!

Artists... I love Bea Miller, Rina Sawayama, Kiana Lede, Hozier, Lorde, Khalid, Tom Odell, Taylor, Harry, Niall and Zayn’s music too (besides Louis ofc)!

I have dyed my hair all colours I believe. Currently is just a loud magenta pink 😅

My favourite authors are a Spanish poet that goes by the name Loreto Sesma and an author from Uruguay named Eduardo Galeano. All of her poetry and most of his books/ essays are my favourites, I apologise if you were expecting a tittle in particular but I truly can’t choose.

Okidoki, now more questions for you Valentine! do you believe in ghost, or demons? Some kind of Heaven/Paradise/Afterlife/nothing? What 5 words would you use to describe yourself? What scents do you like?

Side note before I say goodbye for today: I fixed my curiouscat account issues, so if you’d like to continue this remaining week in there, let me know. I mostly go into tumblr from my pc so maybe it could be easy for both of us to do this in cc:

I leave you the link and a big kiss, have a nice Monday 🌼🌿🥨
