September 11 2022
If there was one thing Bradley wanted, it was to spend the rest of his life with you.
If there was one thing Bradley definitely wanted, it was to have a family with you.
You wished he was more creative, more romantic, but when your period was late and you started feeling queasy about food, you took a pregnancy test and burst into tears when you saw the result.
You had been trying for this for years and you were exhausted.
Mental breakdowns, crying sessions, crises, fights, negative tests, negative doctor visits and more, it hurt a lot for years.
But one day everything changed.
That test that you were used to seeing as negative came back positive that day.
You were pregnant.
You wished you could create something to share the news with Bradley, but he came running to your screams, his eyebrows pinched together in distress and he ran into the bathroom with a frantic "Baby?!"
You were jumping, holding the test with tears streaming down your face, "We're going to be parents! Bradley, we're going to be parents!"
"What?!" Bradley screamed, his vision instantly blurring as he gasped for air and gasped for air, and he stood up to ground himself from the overwhelming emotions and pulled you to his chest, giving you a bone-crushing hug.
Another thing you'll remember forever.
°•°•°•
Of course you were smart enough to wait nine months, but you didn't expect Bradley to be so protective of you the moment he found out you were pregnant.
"Why are you using the kettle, baby? There's hot water in there."
"Oh no, honey, you're not taking Duke to the park by yourself."
"Don't sleep too close to the side, baby, come here, into my arms."
"What are you doing?! Hell no, you're not even going near the vacuum cleaner."
You could barely breathe as Bradley watched you, his body ready to interfere with you.
God forbid, because right now your baby is lying in your womb sipping on damn cocktails in your bladder.
“What happened? What happened?” Bradley woke up frantically, his sleepy eyes wide and his hair a mess as he leaned towards you.
“Baby, I’m just gonna pee.” you chuckled quietly.
He rubbed his eyes as he got out of bed, muttering, “Okay, let’s go.”
You sat down on the bed, looking at him in shock as he yawned and waited for you.
“Bradley, I’m seriously just gonna pee,” you said, before pointing to the bathroom, “Right there.”
Your husband’s arrogance made him look at you in confusion, “Yeah, I know. Come on then, let’s go and pee.”
You stood up, “I’m not gonna pee while you’re staring at me like a hawk.”
“Okay, I won’t look then.”
“Roo!”
“Whaaaat?” He shrugged at you as he dragged you to the bathroom, looking at you, “I just want to protect you and our baby.”
“I think that’s great, but baby,” you sighed, “Go back to bed and let me pee on my own, okay?”
He wasn’t sure, his eyebrows furrowed as he crossed his arms over his chest in displeasure as he watched you step closer to him, wearing your fluffy slippers.
“Relax, cranky,” you teased, before pressing a kiss to his cheek and heading into the bathroom.
Brad, being Brad, sat on the bed, his eyes glued to the closed door, mentally prepared to rush you if you did so little as whimper.
But minutes later, you washed your hands, yawned, and rubbed your eyes before jumping on your waiting husband.
You shook your head and let out a laugh of disbelief, “I can’t believe you.”
Worse, Bradley wasn’t the only one constantly freaking out and protecting you from the world’s many terrible dangers, and more specifically, TV remotes, vacuum cleaners, and everything else that was going on around him.
But so was Duke.
The little—now big—pup was definitely his dad’s best friend, because Duke’s body had grown and he would be right next to you whenever a family member or friend got too close. If you were all sitting on the couch, Duke’s paw was always on your belly next to Bradley’s hand.
It was enough to make you wonder if Duke was even human.
Bradley shared the news with the squad when you were almost 3 months pregnant:
"She's over there!"
His voice was drowned out by the clinking of glasses and the heavy bass of the rock song playing through the crappy speakers in the corner of the room, but it was still unmistakable. His "greeting" was followed by shouts and howls from the rest of the group, many of whom raised their glasses in honor of your (late) arrival.
"My hot wife!"
Bradley, despite his drunkenness, smiled widely and greeted you protectively, as he had for the last few weeks – this time he removed your coat and purse, along with any bags or extra weight he had hanging on brass hooks underneath.
You scanned the bar table and his facial expression for any signs of displeasure or concern.
He couldn't pinpoint exactly when he started "dad mode," his tendencies to go into overdrive, but it definitely started that rainy and cold Tuesday night in your shared bathroom as you sat leaning against the wall of the tub with three positive pregnancy tests.
“I wish you would stop calling me that, Brad,” you sneered as he helped you free your arms from your jacket. "One day you'll make a scene."
The drunk man chuckled.
"What can i say,baby?."
You nodded and rolled your eyes at his antics as you turned your attention towards to your soon to be husband and the man of the hour, intending to pull him in for quick hug and a kiss.
“Y/n!”
Despite the loud noise of the bar, you heard a familiar voice. You turned back to see Jake coming towards you both. Approaching Bradley first.
"Hello, birthday boy," Jake's voice was soft against the drunken slur that was beginning to take over Bradley.
"It's not nice of you to be late for my party,"
“Well sometimes traffic can be a pain in the ass,you know that. But here are my two favorite people standing together. Come give me a hug” he slurred, pulling both in rather roughly for a bone-crushing hug.
You managed to squeeze out a giggle between Jake's bone-crushing hug.
You saw Bradley stiffen out of the corner of his eye, as if saying, "Jeez calm down, dude. She's pregnant, for God's sake," or letting the interaction continue.
He knew he wasn't allowed to do the first one because you both agreed to wait until all your friends and family gathered at the same time to tell them the great news, so Bradley let Jake hug you. You hugged extra tight despite his unrealistic, dramatic concerns that he would crush his fragile body or somehow harm the baby. When he released you from his grasp, he made sure to send Jake a reassuring smile.
Your greeting to Penny and Natasha was short and sweet, both opting to kiss you on the cheek.
“Let me see it one more time,” Natasha’s voice was quiet, almost a whisper, over the chatter of the bar.
You felt the heat creep up your cheeks as she took your hand in hers to examine the ring on your fourth finger.
The ring was thin and gold, studded with a single, elegant but large diamond in the center.
“It's beautiful,” she whispered, marveling at the way the jewel floated even in the dim, tungsten glow of the bar.
You mumbled a quiet “thank you” before leading back to the other side of the table. You turned to where Bradley was waiting for you with his arms outstretched, a shit-eating grin on his face.
You caught the wind of tequila on his breath as he wrapped his arms around your shoulders.
You tasted it too, kissing his lips quickly and - oh my god, had he gained weight too? Or was he getting more bulkier? But he looked like a whole damn meal like this too.
"So okay?You did worry me when you said you were going to be late,are you okay now?" Bradley's question was asked in a low voice so only he could hear.
Bradley had been celebrating all day with Jake, Natasha, Javy, Mickey,Bob,Maverick and Penny so this was the first time he saw you since you kissed him and sent him off to work this morning.
You nodded and smiled, but your face made Bradley believe otherwise.
"I felt nauseous when I got home from the office. It took me a little longer to get out the door," he shrugged, implying that it wasn't a big deal but that he didn't feel 100 percent ready to party either.
“Baby,” Bradley half-scolded you, feeling a good portion of his hum leave his body when Y/N said she wasn’t feeling well. Clinging on you like a koala because of the alcohol in his veins.
"Why didn't you tell me you were not feeling good? I would come home and sit with you."
“I wasn't going to ask you to interrupt your best friend's birthday dinner just because I was vomiting for the umpteenth time this week,” you said sternly, making it clear that you were fine.
"I'm fine. I promise."
Bradley's jaw softened at your sentence, the muscles in his torso relaxing from their tense positions.
"Oh! Will you two stop whispering and get drunk with me?!" Jake shouted across the table, bursting the bubble that had temporarily surrounded the couple as both whispered about their sweet little secret they were dying to tell everyone.
“You,” Jake pointed a finger at Y/N’s head. “Don’t be shy. Now,” he pointed at the bartender who was making drinks at the opposite end of their table.
Both you and Bradley chuckled nervously, not sure how to handle the fact that you couldn’t drink without airing dirty laundry.
“I think I need to eat some food before I do that. Why don’t you get some for Bradley,” You grabbed Bradley’s shoulder and pushed him forward, praying that it would be enough to entertain the drunk boy.
“Fine,” Jake glared.
“That’ll make it hard for you to keep up later, though!”
He grabbed Bradley by the bicep and pushed through the crowd to get him liquor, which he was so eager for.
Your conversations with Penny were light, mostly about what they had done today and the bet they had made that Bradley would need to have a ride for the night.
You successfully dodged Natasha’s questions about how the fertility and planning were going,how the doctor was and was it helping your sex life.
“We are trying hard,it is going good,” you replied with a nervous chuckle, the truth being that you were pregnant right now.
It felt like ages before the two of them – Jake and Bradley– returned.
You had chosen the fries and were sipping on the ginger ale Bradley had bought you before Jake came, but you were interrupted when Bradley and Jake returned to the table.
He was drunk.
Quite drunk.
More than tipsy.
Damn he wasn’t even seeing straight anymore.
And you knew it because his body was even warmer and his eyes looked even hazier than before he left.
You definitely imagined them having more than one shot at the bar, but you didn’t have much time to think about it before you felt his arms wrap around your waist and rest on your hips. You returned his touch, wrapping your arms around his shoulders and resting your head on his chest.
“I love you,” Bradley murmured into the soft spot between your jaw and ear, then his hands slid under your shirt to rest on your lower belly.
“I love you too,” you said again.
You could feel him smiling against your skin as he cradled the barely-there baby bump beneath your oversized sweater.
Bradley was the only one who saw you regularly enough to notice the small changes your body was going through. To everyone else, you still looked like plain old Y/N.
“We like you more but if you don’t stop fooling me in the middle of this bar,” You began, speaking light-heartedly and quietly into your ear, “Everyone will know and you won’t understand. You have to be quiet in order to have that announcement party you’ve been planning for weeks.”
Bradley sighed, knowing you were right, and loosened his grip on your stomach, choosing to at least throw an arm over your shoulder to keep you close.
“I know what you’re up to,” Jake and Natasha looked at the two from across the table.
This caught the attention of not only Jake and Natasha, but also Bob,Maverick and Penny. Everyone turned to look at Jake, anticipating what he was going to say next.
“So what’s going on here, Y/n?” Jake asked flirtatiously.
A frown formed on Btadley’s face, his arms quickly pulled up to his chest as he huffed.
“You’re trying to get out of here and leave us alone on your birthday.”
“I guess I’m not even here then. I guess I am just your fantasy then,” Bradley said, rolling his eyes.
“We’re not trying to leave you, man. I promise,” you stuck your pinky out on the table as a gesture of sincerity.
“Besides.” Jake’s drunken chatter was starting to sound rather childish now, and it was getting more and more entertaining by the second.
“We don’t do that, Bangman,” Bradley Replied.
“Liars. Both of you.”Jake threw a bunch of straw wrappers in Bradley’s direction, which bounced off Bradley’s chest and landed near his feet.
They were both heavily intoxicated now, and you didn’t want a fight between them.
“Where could we possibly go, hmm?” Bradley scoffed, resting his chin on the knuckles of his free hand that was resting on the table. "What better thing could we possibly plan than spending time with you on my birthday dinner?"
They watched as Jake fought his remaining sobriety for an answer, but he eventually gave in to his drunkenness and said, "I don't know. You're probably going to fuck each other or something.”
The table burst out laughing and you hid your face in Bradley’s chest because you were embarrassed.
“It wouldn’t surprise me,” Penny said before taking a long sip of her cocktail.
“Look. We’re in agreement.” Jake tried her best to sound serious in his drunken stupor.
“Prove to me that you won’t leave me at here and have another shot,” Jake said like a 5-year-old.
“Dude why the fuck they would leave you here at his own party dinner?” Bob asked but Bradley cut him off. “Fine,” Bradley shrugged. “Let’s go back to the bar then.”
Bradley started to pull Jake towards him but was stopped abruptly.
“No,” Jake said quickly.
“Y/n too. If you both drink, you can’t go home and leave me,” he said proudly, as if it was the smartest idea he could come up with.
“Hangman, maybe she doesn’t want to drink with y-” Bob was cut once again.
“Oh my god Bob stop, she loves drinking!�� Jake absurdly said.
He couldn’t even form proper sentences and he wouldn’t listen to anything you said or Bradley or Bob.
You just knew that Jake was sloppy drunk and acting like an idiot like he always did, but you couldn’t help but feel your palms start to sweat.
You couldn’t tell Jake the real reason you couldn’t have drinks with the group tonight, so you quickly tried to come up with another excuse since you’d been stuffing your belly with fries since he’d given you your last one.
But there was no need to think any further when Bradley was helping you with his.
“She can’t do that, man. Now, come on. Let’s get some more tequila. Looks like Nat,Javy and Mickey needs some more too, hmm?”
You pinched your nose in annoyance. He was doing his best to keep this all under wraps, but Jake was making it extremely difficult.
“Who are you? Her guardian? Are you telling her what she can and can’t do?” he shouted.
“No, you fucking nun. She can’t drink because you can’t drink when you’re pregn-”
Damn it.
Bradley covered his mouth before he could finish his sentence, but it was too late. He wasn’t sure what he was thinking when he said it. To be completely honest, he wasn’t even sure if he was thinking.
He silently prayed that neither Jake nor the others would hear him, but when they all looked between him and you with wide eyes, he knew immediately that it wasn’t true.
“Y/N, are you pregnant?” Maverick was the first to speak.
You felt stuck in place, only able to stare at Bradley with a very fast beating heart and an open mouth.
“I, um, I – yeah?” It came out more as a question due to your state of shock.
“I’m so sorry baby,” Bradley cried, turning to you to comfort you.
He was writhing with fear that you were angry with him, but it was mostly the alcohol that made him think that way.
“You have a baby?” Jake’s voice was unusually low compared to how loud he had been shouting earlier.
“Yes. It will be.” You were laughing nervously as you spoke. “I’m sorry Bradley ruined the surprise. We wanted to throw a big party and tell everyone at the same time, but I think the cat’s out of the bag for you.”
You rubbed the palm of your hand over Bradley’s back, silently assuring him that you weren’t mad at him. But the others were in a completely different world.
Jake didn’t say anything, just moved from his position next to Bob to get between You and Brad.
He looked at you both with an expression that resembled both anger and confusion, which only increased your discomfort.
In a split second, he wrapped his arms around both of you and hugged both of you tightly.
“Wow! This is the best news i heard today. Uncle Jake…What the fuck?! This is amazing!!
Now he was wandering around, smiling from ear to ear as he ran to Mickey and Javy, who had lost their minds again, to pull them into a group hug on her own chairs instead of on yours and Bradleys.
Both your eyes locked on each other in the middle of the group of friends and they were forced to be a part of his sandwich.
A smile and a knowing look exchanged between you, and despite not coming out in the most fashionable way, you knew that your precious little nugget would be surrounded by people who loved them very much. Everybody took their time to hug both of you and congratulate you.
By the end of the night, Jake leaned over his knees and placed his icy hands on your belly.
"Hi, I'm Jake, I love you..." He began to kiss her belly in a drunken voice.
"Fuck off Jake, that's enough." You burst out laughing as Bradley shouted from behind you.
"Okay.”
And that's how your pregnancy was revealed…
Few weeks later…
For a few days, it was Bradley and Duke’s normal protectiveness that you had gotten used to, but it wasn’t until Bradley’s mother invited you to a family gathering that Bradley reached a new level.
“Go join the others, okay?” You told him, “I’ll be fine here with your relatives,” and despite not being sure, he did as you asked, but looked at you often to make sure you were okay.
When someone is pregnant, that’s the talk of any sit-down.
“You’re glowing!” Many of Bradley’s family members fawned over your belly and your pregnancy, “Did you find out the sex of the baby?” one woman asked. You said you didn’t because you wanted to know when the baby was born.
All of this was fine.
But.
A lot of hands were constantly touching your belly.
You knew it was good intentions, but you couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable with every hand touching your belly—hands from people you weren’t that familiar with.
Every time someone touched your belly, you tried to take a discreet step back, trying to put your hands on your belly before they did, but it was no use.
Bradley knew you like the back of his hand.
So, in a failed attempt to hide your discomfort, he immediately tried to save you as you stood with a forced smile on your face with 6 of his relatives.
“Hi,” he chuckled, wrapping his arm around your waist before placing a quick kiss on your cheek.
“What if you’re not the father!” A woman joked happily, “We were just giving Y/N tips for the first month when the baby came,” she said before leaning forward to caress your belly, “I think it’s a baby girl.”
You frowned at the touch, taking a slight step back as you also moved closer to Bradley. He understood, wrapping his other arm around your waist, his relative pulling his hand away reflexively,
“Anyway, I’ll be so happy. Can you give us one minute please?” He asked them with a gentle smile before taking your hand in his and letting you both go to a quieter place.
You sighed in relief, caressing your little belly.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” He asked softly, his hands covering your face, “What’s wrong, honey?”
“I just-” You sighed again, feeling overwhelmed with emotions that would make you cry.
“Hey, hey,” Bradley’s mood changed instantly, his eyebrows furrowed as he hugged you, pulling you closer to his chest, “I’m right here, I’m right here.”
“I just,” your husky voice said before you pulled away slightly but still leaned into him, “Everyone keeps touching my belly. Like, all these hands and all these people and some of them are like, some of them are just rubbing it or something or holding it there for a long time so they can feel the baby kick and it just makes me so uncomfortable.”
Bradley nodded as you spoke, looking into your eyes as he began, “You have every right to be uncomfortable, baby, I’m so sorry,” he said softly, “How about we go home, yeah? We can just go.”
“But your mom-”
He shook his head, “My mom will understand, I promise. I care about your comfort more than anything else,” he said. “Let’s go, okay?”
“Okay,” you sniffled.
“Yeah?” He smiled softly and leaned down to press his lips to yours in a soft kiss. “I love you, I’m so sorry.”
“I love you too,” you replied, before sighing, wrapping your arms around him. “And my back really hurts.”
“We’ll go home,” he said as he began to rub your back. “And I’ll massage you until you fall asleep, how does that sound?”
“Heavenly.”
He murmured, “How about I call my mom so you can say goodbye? You don’t have to say goodbye to everyone, I don’t want more people touching you.”
“You mean like I don’t know,” you shrugged, “Isn’t it a bit rude?”
“Fuck it,” Bradley replied instantly, “I can’t risk making you feel any more uncomfortable because someone might think it’s rude.”
And he kept his promise. Bradley called his mom so you could sneak off alone and say goodbye to the relatives.
And then he kept his promise once more because as soon as you got home he was buzzing around like a busy bee, making sure you were happy and comfortable before massaging your back.
“Mmh i love you so so so much,baby”
“Love you too honey.”

I think that season was genuinely really good. The overarching plot payoff wasn’t done very well, but almost all of the individual episodes hit for me.
Space babies was the low point of the season for me, but it was the first episode and I forgive it. It even had some moments that I enjoyed
The devils chord was great and had an extremely compelling villain.
Boom was interesting and made me actually like Ruby a lot (something I was struggling with the first few eps)
I think 73 yards was very good, it’s confusing as hell, but I enjoyed watching it enough to rewatch it twice. Also Millie Gibson’s acting in this was amazing
Dot and Bubble was compelling as well and then those last 5 minutes? Ncuti Gatwa acted his ass off.
Rogue was one of my favorite doctor who episodes ever, like it had eveyething! Bridgerton parody, alien birds that wanted to cosplay, a gay little subplot that ends in a tragic sacrifice.
The legend of Ruby Sunday was fun and I enjoyed UNIT’s presence. The whole scene with the time window made me emotional and the reveal at the end was great.
Empire of death was enjoyable, the acting was amazing and I liked the call back to 73 yards. I do still think the overarching reveal fell flat, but for me that just doesn’t really detract all that much from my enjoyment of the season over all.
Overall I really enjoyed it and it has episodes I know I’m gonna come back and watch again (mainly rogue and 73 yards). Although they need to go back to longer seasons, I think a lot of the problems I did have with the season could have been solved with a few more episodes.
Okay that’s all for my doctor who rant

“What good did love do, Doctor? When did it ever help?”
So I spent last week at my parent’s house finally pulling off the surprise birthday party I’d been planning for months for my mother and I was there for farrrrr too long and I ate waaaay too much and I only had six days from when I got home to get my head right and ready to start a new job after nine effing months of doing nothing. 
I’m starting on Monday and I’m super anxious about it, and everyone is posting about what’s going on with Doctor Who so obviously I decided to let Ruby and 15 turn my brain off for a bit, it’s the least they can do. Maybe that was a mistake, because woooooof y’all. I’m devastated that the season is already over. 
And as such, we def need to talk about both of these episodes at the same time. 
The Legend of Ruby Sunday / Empire of Death
Wherein, The Doctor and Ruby show up to UNIT to finally ask about the old woman they keep running into on their adventures, and immediately very purposefully fall into a trap. 
I have to say, as much as I love 15, baby boy has NOT been very observant this season. He’s caught up in having fun and showing his feelings and all of that is fantastic and beautiful but if this had been 10 or 11 they would have been mulling over this situation the entirety of the season and I probably wouldn’t feel so much like I just got whiplash. 
Like, the internet has been telling me to think about this random ass lady, instead of seeing the Doctor trying to puzzle her out in his downtime. And that’s the first time I’ve really thought to myself, ‘this is incredibly unlike the doctor.’ But we’re going to let it slide, because he’s otherwise charmed the pants off of me.
There was a lot I was definitely about in these episodes, in no particular order - 
OBVIOUSLY, the Rose / Ruby bonding. Absolutely adorable. They immediately gravitated to each other and I love that. It’s so sweet. And I’ll take ANY scrap of 14 I can get, but 15 asking ‘how’s your uncle?’ really made me greedy for more. Couldn’t my girl Rose given like, even the smallest cute little anecdote? Like ‘oh, he’s really into gardening right now…’ or something? Gimme like, even the littlest bit. I neeeed it. But fine. 
15’s outfits. I’ve loved all of the stuff they’ve put him in all season but HELLO that leather jacket and the cozy sweater he had on in the mish mash TARDIS? Gorgeous. Beautiful. I want to buy it right now.
Also, the mish mash TARDIS itself, and the little kiss 15 gives it at one point. Love all the random throwbacks inside that little thing even if I don’t know most of them because no, I never went back and watched the original seasons, so sue me. I’m pretty sure I spotted 11’s little scanner tv thing though, and I love that. I miss Matt Smith. 
And the Doctor lashing out and punching the wall and huffing and puffing and screaming and then Mel giving him a kick in the ass. I’m going to keep talking about how I love that 15 is actually okay with showing his feelings, but I do think he got too lost in them. We all been there, boo. But like, you heard that sick TARDIS sound (that’s going to haunt my dreams) and you were just like ‘oh I’ve heard that before’? BOY you are so distracted. 
Anyway, I’m vaguely aware there’s background on Sutekh that I should probably google if I want to fully understand the situation, but I’m not gonna do it. I accept that it’s the god of death and the doctor fought it once and banished it to the time vortex, but I have to say, I find the rest of the storyline a little bit weird. It hitched a ride on the TARDIS and traveled with the Doctor for basically untold amounts of time and no one ever noticed? And it’s appearance is NOT related to 14 casting that salt at the end of the universe, even though it was pretty clear that the rest of the random god appearances were? 
I guess I’m willing to accept all of that, but gang. Here’s the thing. After all of that time traveling around and watching the Doctor do what he does (and admittedly trying to sabotage him by planting harbingers? I guess? Wherever they went?) you’re still not going to kill him right off when you finally hatch your plot? You KNOW he gets out of things. You know he literally gets out of everything. You’ve watched him wiggle his way out of shit because his adversaries have given him an inch but you’re like ‘it’s fine, that won’t be me, because I REALLY need to know who this random human’s mother is?’ 
Nah. Nah nah nah. Like, maybe if you had really tried to kill him and he got out of it, I’d be like, ‘okay fine’ but that death cloud was half-assed and they beat it on like, a moped. 
If we’re going with real scary gods that have literally the power of basically everything, I’m gonna want their actions to make sense. 
I also have to admit that when the Doctor was monologuing about how the whole thing was his fault, when he said about all of the things he’s done “I thought it was fun”, I found myself thinking about how he really has been playing a game of his own devising and maybe he…shouldn’t. And it felt like maybe he thought that, too. Like, when is it gonna be enough for him? 
The point is, It’s super sweet that Ruby got to figure her shit out, they got me I cried at all of that, but the whole thing did feel a little disjointed to me. Which is fine, because now I’m sitting here like, ‘yo I need more’ but there isn’t more, not for forever, and clearly that’s how they get you. The arch wasn’t a cliff hanger really but also it kind of was and I’m unsatisfied. Maybe that’s the point. 
And I do now agree with Tumblr that the most interesting thing in all of this is how 14 and Donna reacted to the death cloud, and their reconstitution, and the realization that Rose was at UNIT during the entire thing - that’s going to occupy my brain for a really long time.
At the end of the day, eight episodes was not enough. But I’m SO  endeared to 15 and I love the direction the show is going, haters can hate all they want but Doctor Who was always weird and it was always for outcasts and it’s beautiful and stupid and silly and wonderful. Wonderful and perfectly imperfect. 
Friends, this season came at a time I really needed it. I'm thankful it helped me through my forced work hiatus, it's part of the tapestry that kept me going. And that's the good that love does. Doctor Who, I love you.

Can you do reader and kp are rival’s and they both like each other and when y’all play against each other her and reader flirt the whole Time.
No Snarky Remark?
Kelsey Plum x reader
———————————————————————
Summary: Reader plays for the Indiana Fevers against the Las Vegas Aces and continues her flirtatious rivalry with Kelsey Plum.
Warnings: a few jokingly mean comments? Let me know if I missed anything
———————————————————————
Readers POV:
Kelsey and I are two of the greatest basketball players in the WNBA. With that being said the media has had us against each other since my Fevers debut. We’ve had many games against each other, making sure we keep the media entertained with some playful banter.
Today, we have a game at 7pm against the Aces so all the Fevers have been shooting around for about an hour before we decided to get something to eat before the game. We all agreed on something simple and quick as we made our way to the restaurant.
As I pull out the seat between Caitlin and Aliyah, I hear someone next to me ask “So Y/N, how are you and Kelsey doing?” I look to where it came from to see Caitlin smirking as I sit down. “Um the same as always. I still think she’s annoying and over confident and I plan to show her that at the game tonight.” While yes, I do think Kelsey is absolutely gorgeous and a great ball player her ego plus her attitude do not mix well with such.
“Oh I see you just wanna show off for your girl tonight. I’ll make sure to pass you the ball a few extra times tonight.” I hear Caitlin say as I see a few of my teammates laugh and nod along as if they agree. I look at them confused before saying “Okay woah one, Kelsey is not my girl and I don’t think she ever will be, two you won’t have to pass me the ball because I’m gonna get way more rebounds than you.”
After a few more jokes were cracked and dinner was finished we all made our way back to the team bus to head towards the arena. Along the way me and Caitlin agreed that whoever got more rebounds in tonight’s game would get 20 bucks which I agreed to immediately, knowing I’d win that bet.
Once inside the gym me and Cait shot around with each other for a few minutes until the Aces arrived and she decided to go look at some film before the game. Leaving me to go stretch and fix my hair whilst making a mental note to slide my ankle braces on before entering the court.
Just as I slid my ankle brace and shoe back on a see a figure in front of me causing me to look up quickly. “You’re gonna need those braces for when I break your ankles tonight.” I see Kelsey standing there confidently as she crosses her arms across her chest. “Yea I hear you. What that sticking out of your shoe right there, is that an ankle brace?” I say slyly pointing to her foot.
She shoots her head down quickly as she goes to see if she was indeed wearing an ankle brace. “Made you look! Can’t remember if you put on ankle braces or not Plum? That’s not good might wanna stop by the memory doctor on the way to the E.R after I break your ankles.” I say patting her head as I stand up. Before she can get another word in Aliyah came and told me it was time to get on the court. As I’m walking away I turn around and ask with a smile “What no snarky remark? I must really have an effect on you then.” As I’m turning back around I see Kelsey’s flushed face as well as her teammate coming to tell her to get on the court.
———————————————————————
After jump ball, which we surprisingly got, Caitlin carried the ball up the court before getting double teamed. I ran up closer to give her an easy pass and caught the ball before planting my feet and shooting from right behind the 3 point line. As I let go of the ball I see Kelsey run up to block me a second to late as I blow her kiss right before the ball goes in. I can see a small pink tint on her cheeks before she runs to get the ball.
As she runs the ball up the court, I widen my stance as to guard a little heavier. She dribbles for a second before passing inside the paint giving an easy lay up to her teammate A’ja. I see her smile out of the corner of my eye and decide to step up my game just a little.
With about 3 minutes left in the second quarter I dribble the ball up the court before stopping in front of her. “You’re a little to pretty to be getting beat like this Kelsey. You’re not going easy on me are you?” I say smirking. “Never.” I see her eyes lock on mine but Aliyah has already set me a screen so I run to the left and shoot a three making the score 16-23. She looks like she’s ready to fight me but I just turn around as I smile and get ready to guard her.
As she brings the ball up the court I see her look to the left and the right observing her teammates. “Hey L/N, miss me already? It’s okay I’ll make a shot for you.” She dribbles to the right but passes left before going back to her starting spot and dropping a three and winking at me.
I was subbed out for the first 6 minutes of the fourth quarter but when I went back in Kelsey was already out. I smirked and waved as I brought it up the court seeing Caitlin wide open in the right wing. Passing the ball quickly, the defense went back up on caitlin so she passed to Erica who shot an easy floater.
By the end of the game the score was 56-63 in favor of the Fevers. As I walked to the locker room me and Caitlin stopped to sign a few things and take a few pictures with fans. In the locker room, we all cheered and celebrated a little before the majority of the team decided hang out at a local bar to celebrate. I of course agreed and told them I’d be there around 9.
After everyone else left the locker room I was headed towards the door before I saw Kelsey as she knocked on the wall. “Hey what’s up Kelsey? Come to look at all the posts about me whoopin’ your ass out there tonight with me?”
“Yea yea I made all kinds of shots out there tonight and you know it” she says smiling. “Yea but mine made us win.” I say putting my bag down on the floor right next to me. She walks a little closer towards the back lockers as I turn around to stand in front of her. “But I will admit you made some good shots.” I say looking down at her.
“We’ll beat you guys at the next game.” She says looking up at me. I nod my head slowly “yea?” before my eyes slide down to her lips and back up again. “Yea of course.” She whispers. I lean forward just a little as I see her eyeing my lips. “You know I meant it, when I called you pretty.” I admit. “I’m sure you did. It’s hard to miss tha-“ she starts but I cut her off by leaning forward and kissing her gently. She freezes for a second before kissing me back eagerly. I put my hand on the side of her face pulling her closer as my other hand reaches her hip.
“I’ve wanted to do that for a while.” I say as I pull away. “I’ve wanted you to do that for a while.” She says smiling. “Oh well allow me to do the honors.” I quickly lean in again shoving her into the lockers kissing her harder than before. We stayed like that for as long as possible before breaking away for air. “Glad you feel the same.” “You have no idea. Give me a second.” I say pulling out my phone before calling Caitlin. “Hey Cait, yea I’m not gonna make it to the bar tonight, sorry. Also, I want my 20 bucks.”

Holding a cloth to my mouth when I cough because:
1. Ew germs.
2. Ew loud.
People trying to sleep and I’m coughing like I’ve got tuberculosis. Or like a toddler. You know that cough that toddlers do? Like the most aggressive coughing ever. That’s me.
Except I cover my mouth when I cough because ew germs remember?
#I do wish for death though#every time i cough my very hurty ribs like to make me think that my chest is being crushed#I’m gonna have to make an appointment with the doctor when mum gets home#because last night I kept waking up unable to breath from pain in my ribs#I’m lowkey kinda worried I’ve permanently fucked up my ribs#if I inhale too hard then I want to cry from pain😃#and like… I’m a pussy and don’t handle pain well so there’s every chance that I’m over exaggerating but…#it’s terrifying?#like it genuinely feels like I’m dying sometimes#I’ve been trying to check my ribs but I can’t press on them too hard to feel them because it’s very hurty (like tears to eyes kinda hurty)#I can lift my arms above my head to make them more visible but it hurts and I can’t twist my body in a way that allows me to touch them#not without it knocking the wind out of me with pain#I’m gonna need to go to the doctor I think#tbf tho I’ve had multiple days now where they’ve had near constant strain and whatever#like if I wasn’t heaving and throwing up I was and still am coughing endlessly#and I had a very physical day today so that probably isn’t helping#it’ll probably go back to just being sore tomorrow#but still#it’s sort of scary#if I die because my ribs killed me im gonna be so pissed#that’s not a cool way to die😑#guys if my ribs kill me can we pretend it was actually a bear that crushed my chest?#that’s much cooler#I think “murdered by bear” sounds much cooler than “weird fucked up ribs ig🙄“#anyway#I’m gonna try and sleep now and hope my ribs don’t constrict and kill me in my sleep!!!#nighty night!!! 😘😘😘😘#who threw the tennis ball!?!🎾

#txt#it is what it is#fuck it we ball#like idk what else to do#and it really erks me that my boss thinks she has the right to tell me I need to go to the doctor#because bitch I’ve been all my life I’ve been misdiagnosed with stomach viruses utis and it’s never that#I’m not risking being misdiagnosed again. I’m waiting for my gyno appointment bcuz it has fucking everything to do with my period/reproduct#REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS#like hire more people if it’s such a loss when I’m gone ??????#don’t fucking text me telling me that “As a mom I’d tell my kid to go to the doctor😇 as if my parents aren’t fully aware of the pain I’m in#and have been fully aware since I was 10 years old#I know what’s going on bitch I don’t need to waste money at a walk in clinic for them to tell me I have a uti or my stomach is just hurting#u think jus fucking about with this shit. no I plan for this every month. usually it’s not terrible. this month has been hell#there’s nothing I can do to avoid it. I take meds and they barely do anything#i deserve to rest bcuz I’ve been busting my ass this year and last through this pain#i can afford to miss a few days off work. sorry yall can’t#I’m sorry for ranting this had jus been an issue my whole life. they used to grill me as a kid at school for missing#and it reminds me of that so much and it makes me feel like a child again#being told It’s JuSt period CrAmpS just TakE medicine#meanwhile I’m literally puking from pain#meanwhile my insides feel like they are blistering and on fire and my lower body is being yanked to the floor#ok sowwy I’m gonna go cry about it now

#I fucking hate doctors and the medical field so much#I was FINALLY starting to get on the right path#called a php place and think I know where I’m going#have a therapist I’ve been talking to here and there#I’ve been trying to get into a psych evaluation right?#called 5+ places the other day and they all had 5-8 month long waitlists#I need to get most of this shit done before June#so that ain’t gonna work#called the psych place my doctor referred me to#(would like to add that I did call this same place right after my doctor visit a few months ago and they never called me back)#so I had no hope they were even going to pick up#I was shocked when I heard someone picked up and even more shocked when they said they had an opening for fucking Wednesday#literally I felt like everything was finally aligning#I scheduled the appt for a zoom meeting at 10am#then I get a bunch of random emails saying my appointment was changed#now I have two different appointments- Wednesday and Thursday both at 9am and with a totally different doctor#so I was like???? ok guessing something happened but I didn’t think much of it - called to figure out what day it actually is#when I called to confirm they told me that I can’t be tested until I get an internal referral#I told them I did get a referral???#they looked at it and it was just a referral for depression not adhd or anything else#but then when they looked more into it they found in the notes she wanted me to get adhd testing#SO she just forgot to add it to my referral#I get people make mistakes#but this is like the 4th time something like this has happened lately#I’m just trying to be healthy#and it is fucking RIDICULOUS how incredibly hard it is to find the proper help#also the girl yesterday when I made the appointment said yes to all my questions but sounds like she doesn’t know what she’s talking about#was like ‘does this test for adhd and autism?’ ‘yeah for sure’ and then I find out they don’t even test for autism#so now I have to find a totally different person to either do both or just test for autism#either way I feel incredibly disheartened and overwhelmed and sad
