[eir-trixa]

WOTTG SPOILERS AFTER THE CUT

.

.

.

Can you believe Rick is validating me in my Percy-is-the-most-empathic-character take? I have legal basis but boi does it feel nice to have canon confirmation.

Second that book was short af I got the gist of it all while reading for like an hour.

Third, we addressed everyone else’s trauma. Percy’s still the group therapist LMAO 😭😭😭

Fourth, my son is such a good kid yall, this is why I lose five years of my life when someone insults or when he insults himself jfc my child.

Im honestly still processing and I have to reread the ending. Did it address Percy’s issues? Im going to go with “a bit” and call it a night. I mean, I guess it did? Percy got to unload and help Gale and Hecuba. We got an insight to how he’s managing to stay up and fighting and good despite all the shit he’s put into. Honestly the fact that he saw the humanity in Gale and Hecuba, that he saw their pain and grief and thats what made them trust him, that is so good. And the way he related to them. Goodness. And it highlights again how good a person he is, how much he feels and cares. I mean, he cried cause he had to send Mrs O Leary away, I cant with this kid-

I supposed what Im left unsatisfied with is how he still perceives himself as dumb? Baby, you survived San Fran for two months as a homeless kid without memories and pursued by different monsters who cant die. Youre the furthest thing from dumb.

He cant see this of course and while it was slightly addressed(?) by Annabeth telling him to his face that she doesnt give him enough credit, that he’s pretty smart, I dont think thats enough for addressing this particular issue. There was a time in the middle that he almost snapped because he thought Annabeth probably thinks him too dumb to know what to do next. Which I understand is frustrating to him. But to be fair this book made him look at Annabeth for a solution a lot. Theres also little comments about how when he cant think of anything - which is every 60 seconds apparently according to him- he looks at Annabeth. This doesnt help the co dependent allegations LMAO. Idk, I will die on the Hill that Percy is one of the smartest people in the series, not just emotionally but also in strategy. And theres, of course, nothing wrong with looking at the genius strategist for answers. Ive mixed feelings because definitely this is more of a Percy-insecurity issue than an Annabeth-being-bossy issue. But okay. One more book, heres to hoping we get more heart to heart on that front because Im 999998% sure she doesnt mean to make him feel stupid, Percy’s just got a lot of demons to fight but this in particular they need to figure out together. Still, its obvious how much they care for each other still. If only Dave and Hana did not piss me off at the start Id probably be a little more lenient about this.

Annabeth’s fatal flaw also makes a comeback, we love to see it.

And Sally Estelle Jackson. Now we have to find out wth is Percy’s middle name cause if Sally has one odds are she gave her son too. Trust me. Im Filipino. Iykyk.

Lastly, while I will forever and ever and ever support the trio from pjotv (theyre perfect and have done nothing wrong ever) I can see Rick’s injecting their personalities into the books. Im not sure if he does this on purpose or just subconsciously LMAO. Some of Grover’s dialogue is definitely inspired by Aryan. Percy being Lanky? Walker through and through, especially with his growth spurt lmao, and Annabeth’s confidence? All Leah. I can see what Rick’s trying to do. Ive no opinion on this, just pointing it out. I do love love love the live action. Just. I can see you Rick. You aint slick.

So there. I probably would need to reread the book properly at some point.

tara and luke be like "who's this lady?"

OKAY I'M SO EXCITED FOR NEXT WEEK LFG

[overrgrown]

stray my stand in thoughts in no particular order (e1-7 spoilers) ~

sorry it's long lmao I have a lot of jumbled thoughts that I need to yell about so this is me screaming into the void

Joe being used as a stand in by ming and tong is very telling

ming honestly doesn't act like a spoiled rich brat. he's occasionally entitled, but he's very polite to staff and he genuinely cares for his sister.

I don't think that ming wants to hurt his sister. he wants tong to choose him instead of his sister so that he can break her heart instead and then ming isn't to blame

idk if ming was ever trying to be subtle to Joe about what he was to him. he flat out told him he was a stand in (just didn't mention for who)

Joe getting a second chance at a maternity figure only to have her immediately fall into major trouble and then health issues has got to be triggering the fuck out of Joe rn

do we find out where Joe 2.0's spirit is at all? and what happened to OG Joe's body??

jfc poom is so pretty I can't focus

ik sol and ming are more than likely gonna become friends at some point but my messy ass would LOVE to see them be bitter bitches to the end with each other

where did ming get the chain....?

it's making me so fucking sad that Joe is falling back into his previous direct footsteps bc of his situation and its literally all he knows to do. same people, same habits, same mannerisms, same career, everything

he has an opportunity to completely rebrand and live his life without being under ming's thumb but he is consciously choosing to stay around him. why? what is so alluring about the person who used and emotionally cheated on you for who knows how long and then drunkenly called you the target of his actual affections????

Joe is not only too humble. I think he genuinely doesn't think he deserves better. this life is all he's ever known and he's never had the stones to try and improve himself and get his own life

his job is literally to be a nameless, faceless body double who does the work for a person who gets to take all the credit

(not that I'm shit talking real stunt doubles. y'all are the core of my fave action movies and ily)

but it says a lot about Joe's character and how passive he is usually and it's so interesting to me that he's the big risk taker when it comes to his stunts but he's too scared to make a move to improve his life or branch out on his own

those inconsiderate little bitches. you can't just add a character willy nilly to an already finished script. it'll throw off the whole movie and that's way more work for the writers

yo that hesitation at Joe not being able to break those mugs???? I felt it physically that was GOOD FUCKING ACTING

sol has never done anything wrong in his life he could murder someone in front of me in cold blood and I would help him cover it up

I would come out to sol i trust him with my party drink I'll go to war for him

damn bro how the hell did Joe get roped into being a stand in for HIMSELF that's some meta shit right there. like how is this not just self harm bc that's what it seems like to me

tharn? that's a new name. will we meet him?

ming's condo being green and gold like Joe's old house I am chewing on fucking concrete

OH THE MIRROR SWIPE THE HARSH REMINDER THAT HE IS IN ANOTHER BODY AND THAT HE IS USING THAT BODY AS A STAND IN FOR HIMSELF AND THAT HE NOT ONLY SOLD HIMSELF TO MING BUT HE SOLD JOE 2.0'S BODY GOD THAT WAS *chefs kiss*

is the backception here that ming is kissing Joe 2.0's back bc it reminds him of OG Joe or because it reminds him of Joe reminding him of tong hmmmmmmmmm either way: seek help babe you have a problem

the juicy juicy parallel of ming waking up to an empty pillow I'm gulping this shit down like water this is my life blood rn thank you for the delicious meal

i am not immune to the mesh shirt

AHA I THINK I JUST MET THARN

Update: I am correct

JOE'S ACCIDENT WAS A SUICIDE ATTEMPT?!?!?!?!? holy fuck bro

I thought I was going to hate ming a lot more when I started this bc I have a lot of manipulation trauma but I kind of.... get him

how old is tharn supposed to be bc he looks 16 and it's unsettling

I knew we couldn't trust that twink

YAS BABE YOU LOSE YOUR SHIT YOU YELL YOU GET MAD YOU TELL PEOPLE TO FUCK OFF YOU KICK THARN OUT OF YOUR ROOM DESERVE TO UNHINGE YOURSELF A BIT

ming is about to step off the edge I can feel it this man is about to overflow and drown everyone around him in his search for Joe

"tOng PlaYed tHe scENe hImsELF" oh so tong has always been a piece of shit got it

shut the fuck up why am I actually getting emotional over ming realizing that his Joe is the one in front of him and that it's been him all along

but on another note I am going to pound him into the cement for interrupting that shoot I hope the footage wasn't ruined by ming's emo ass

the back hug with the clear JOE though and comparing it to their first meeting?? stupendous no notes

up is going in a bubble I am kissing his forehead he acted the fuck outta that last scene MWAH

[andthebubbles]

okay at least this ep doesn't have anthony in it so hopefully i'm not taking like 3h to watch it

3x08

mmm delicious. i love a desperate, alone cressida making bad decisions. what if there's an AU where she's a serial killer? WHAT IF SHE HAD TO RUN AWAY IN S1 AND SHE MET ANTHONY WHO HAD ALSO RUN AWAY BECAUSE MAYBE HE KILLED (OR THOUGHT HE KILLED) SIMON

LMAO I FELT THIS SO HARD

SKFJGNFDKGNJKG

what the fuck?

ehe this is somewhat similar to the speech anthony gave to daphne in 1x04 "it is more than just your honour at stake, it is your sisters' too; the entire family name. it has been decided" (eeee i went and double checked it and i only missed a lil bit; also anthony is so pretty there halp)

HAHAHAA

why the FUCK is colin making this all about himself? no one replied to him while he was travelling? wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll didn't he choose to travel?

shut up colin, you have no idea what cressida is going through

SAME, GIRL

cress why don't you just explain your situation and ask for money....... or maybe she wouldn't do that haha... aahfdkjgdkjg fuck

colin. shut the FUCK up

cress kinda needs an advisor in this lol i feel like she's showing her hand too much. but then, she's like, idk, 20?

uh, isn't colin also without a title?

CUNT

heyyy they playing the duel music :3

so... does eloise not remember that cressida's father is a bitch..... ohhh well i guess she doesn't know the details about sending cress off to wales..................

why did it sound like the drink's already hit violet skjfngfkgjgk

CACKLE

but violet was like. a kid then. lmfao

JKDNGKFGJ AND THE BIT AFTER SKJFGKG dying

heh benedict's having a good time

that bit of colin sitting up on the settee is the best he's looked all season (25:15:ish)

why did this man wink at portia

SKDFJNKFGJN why is this so funny

ohhh to be an actor like polly walker.....

🥺

i love this convo actually

oh yeah you two are REALLY alike, i've been calling this since like s1

A Thousand Cuts has a really good anthony and penelope chapter. and ... was it also that fic that had a really good anthony and fran chapter, or is that another fic...? "but franny, it is so far." maybe it was.

yeah it's really OOC that anthony skipped fran's wedding. hmm. but like, i get actor schedules get in the way... idk.

violet's speech to fran is....................................... is it not a bit out of nowhere? or is she just being like this bc she's in the honeymoon stage with marcus lmao

HAHAHAHAHAA JFC THE PRIEST FUCKING KNOWS HALP

so... is fran's look after the kiss like... ....... oh whatever

ehehe (also the moment before with b&e but that's already been giffed so i've already seen it)

benedict~

lmao

hey, the piece fran and violet are playing on the piano, isn't that mozart, one of the sonatas, 2nd mvt, but it's a little bit off, and ALSO in the wrong key... aah ... it's in F major... and in the show it's in E major........... anyway i'm not sure if it is that piece because the notes are off a bit. maybe they did that deliberately. idk

now to try find which sonata it is lmao, classical music is so hard to google

oh okay. k330. in the end i just googled the numbers i had played before lmfao. but yeah, in the show it's not exactly that. if anything it feels inspired by that.

it could be another piece entirely though, just that it has similarities to k330 2nd mvt. anyway

MAYBE THAT HE DOESN'T FEEL GOOD ENOUGH. HMMM SEEMS TO RUN IN THE FAMILY

IS THIS WHERE HE RUNS AWAY

yeah he but-ed XD

HE WANTS TO MEET MORE MEN

what if they genderswap sophie skjfng????

awww

haha skjfngkjdfng he went straight from the bed to the swings!

awww this season really made me like portia

lmfao finch's sneeze

okay so i guess pen prepared that speech lmao and forewarned some people. interesting lighting they put on her btw. and yeah i do think she got off a bit lightly, but honestly if they were to do it ... probably closer to honestly, it might've been quite harsh. but who knows. anyway

gosh i love portia

:3

awwww

awwww colin finally got off his high horse. yay. your wife is awesome. you should be pleased, nitwit :3

lmaoooo eloise inviting herself to scotland KSJDNKJFGNK

SKJFNGKJGN

okay, can benedict, eloise and francesca all be queer

i want them to genderswap sophie!!!! but i guess they won't. i guess.

eloise and michaela are holding hands!!

okay so it was only towards the end of ep 8 when it finally felt like bridgerton again. minus the costumes. the first half of ep 8 felt like... wildly off the pace.

imo they didn't need to do cressida THAT dirty.

anyway i'll save this stuff for a ep 5-8 round-up post

[fandom-hoarder]

I'm watching walker now.

Opening sequence was cool. No reflection on the mirror for Cordi, i was like 😯 is that symbolic or just an opportunity for a cool wipe transition

Cordell lost in the sauce of his notes while larry and trey workout. He makes me exhausted just watching him

For a second i thought the cordi/geri in the atrium wasn't real

Lololol cordi being awk af with geri. I'm sorry, i am HERE for it. "Boy listening" -- NOT a fan of that phrase lol

These people do not feel like an intimate couple!! Lmaooo I'm trying to remember if geri knows about the case. Why is she like this. Girl, if he's distracted, maybe you should see what's up with him actually

"Part of the new chapter we've been talking about" ok why does this feel like a parallel to bonham and abilene 👀👀👀👀 what exactly do you think the new chapter IS, geri?

"I'm so happy for you" lmaooooooo for YOU not for US

I tried to pause and copy the letter to geri but it didn't show it all

Whoooo yes, go augie on the clues

Lolol omg Bonham

"Would it kill you to be a little less punctual?" Lololol

Lol abby

The angle on Cordell's framing in this scene 👁👁👁👁👁

Ooh, photography tricks (please make Augie go with something photography related, not the army)

Ugh GERI

Am i unfair? Or is her tone of voice really annoying lmao

Lmao Cassie and Trey snack stealing

Bleghhhhhh

New name pending

We love you and you make dad very happen

Bleghhhhhhhh

Geri feels more aloof than ever and i still keep getting a vibe like i shouldn't trust her lmfao please have a surprise villain reveal god.

Lmao Stella's face at the end of that scene, though. Still not slick

Bonham being all teary eyed and romantic

Cassie and trey besties

HOYT'S MOM?!!!

i am going insane ok, joanna is going after her grandchild and her son's best friend's daughter. Is sadie aware?? 👀👀👀👀

Omg BONHAM?? WHAT

Omfgggg bonham

Jfc what is wrong with that man

God that's so frustrating

Geri comparing augie to his mom. Hahhhhh

Yesssss augie

Tell Liam, yes

Cassie!!!

Omg Cordell's bitter tone about her and geri talking about him behind his back

👀👀👀

What a confrontation

There are 5 minutes leftttt

Everybody in here working on their mental health and cordell digging deeper

Cordell is not getting over this that quickly lmfao what is WRONG with you all???

WHAT?????

LAKELIGHT INN. NO CHECKOUT DATE SELECTED

So augie didn't tell them ANYTHING??

Lol take a minute? She's outta there

Lmfao yeah, window right there

HOW DID YOU NOT TELL THEM ANYTHING LMFAO

NONE OF YOU THOUGHT SHE MIGHT RUN?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I love the editing on these parallel scenes

Godddd

Idk wtf Cordell’s doing honestly. Idk if he's clearheaded enough to think to make himself bait, but maybe. It feels like he's got some kind of plan after he saw a picture that morning, and i have no idea what he was fucking doing all day

Goddd i NEED to know what's up between sadie and joanna

[allkinds-oftrash]

Took a nap but finally watched Episode 3 and I LOVED IT here's the commentary!

The Crown S5E3 Commentary

Non-Spoiler TLDR: This episode is centred on the Al-Fayeds particularly Mohammed and his son Dodi. It was an emotional rollercoaster but ultimately I loved it. It was pretty much watching Mohammed's brilliant character development but also half the time watching him be a fangirl of British society 🤡🤡 while loving an unexpected side character Sydney (minor spoiler but he is the best and deserved to be named) and Dodi. The last 15 minutes made me cry and laugh so much so prepare your tissues!

They're bringing back all the classics fur this season huh - first Claire now Alex as Edward and the lady who plays Wallis

Dodi's dad is a vibe His dad is RIGHT The British imperialists are the worst bud

Ooh that IS Dodi's mom lmao his uncle is a shit Awwe babey Dodi Holy shit?? The resemblance is uncanny!

Ohmygod Sylvie from Emily in Paris He revitalized the Ritz??

Not his dad being anti Black wtf Brooo you know what it's like to be discriminated against and yet???

It WAS Sydney Oh dear god they're meeting I hope he doesn't hatecrime him "British society is the finest in the world" Jfc Mohammed you dumbass it's not God the internalised racism is STRONG in this one

Not him firing Sydney and now enlisting his help in the same 24 hrs 🤡🤡 Okay but this British culture lessons is giving 90s makeover montage from teen movies back in the day

Ughhh the racism I am not vibing with it

Dodi and Sydney are very likeable and endearing though

Ohmygod Mohammed married that white lady from Finland - dude she's the same age as your kid!! This man's obsession with being British is not fun at all

Oooh Dodi wanted to make movies he's officially my fave

I was wondering why there were a bunch of white men running Living for this outdoor set Love the story very meta

WAIT DODI PRODUCED CHARIOTS OF FIRE Ohmygod I have 3 degrees separation from Princess Diana shdjshsk cos David Puttum always visited our film school for lectures (the film school was named after him so he was always invited to come down and give us guest lectures)  This is so cool but funny af cos all his lectures made me hate this film hekdjdk Awww they got a shoutout by David Puttnam

Lmaooo they were describing what went wrong with Wallis trying to invoke sympathy for her suffering but I'm like Good she was a Nazi Sympathizer sbsnsns

Sydney nooo are you okay??

THIS MAN REALLY BOUGHT THE FRENCH ESTATE SHDKSJS He is DOING THE MOST TO GET NOTICED BY THE BRF I CANNOT Like even I never tried this hard and I wanted to marry Harry as a kid shdksj

Okay but Sydney and Mohammed's development friendship means so much to me but Mohammed is still on thin ice cos he's a billionaire and is constantly trying to be British royalty I can't

Lmaooo Philly's Don't you dare Not Philly glossing over the Nazi Sympathizer confirmation 🤡🤡

Mans is SO disappointed over Lizzie not coming to the estate ssksmsq LMAO HE'S FINE He's like a fangirl I can't stop laughing please

SYDNEY NOOOO MOHAMMED TAKING CARE OF HIMM 😭😭 I'm OBSESSED with this full circle moment this is EXACTLY the kindness Sydney deserved at the end WELL I'M CRYING

Damnn Mohammed finally made it to the front row Jesus Lizzie just go sit with the man he doesn't a disease just cos he's brown AHHH DIANA awww she's hilarious and definitely growing on me as a believable Diana from Emma's version

Ohmygod their banter is on point She fits in so well with him already 🥺🥺 I can't wait to see her love story with Dodi!!

[deviantartdramahub]

2 notes

"She prefers Club, it’s obvious as hell with how she ASS KISSES HIM." Lol another instance of them sexualizing the friendship between A 15 YEAR OLD and a full grown man. Also jfc this post is so hard to read and all over the place, did the poster repeatedly slam their head into their desk before writing this?? Explains both the terrible logic and writing XD

But yeah there's also not a SINGLE bit of proof in this big shit-post either. Can you give REAL proof of Tri and Club being pedos please? But that's impossible, due to them NOT BEING PEDOPHILES, and Mod-S has also given up on her bullshit lmao.

Then they also make a comment about me sucking Club's ass. Further proof that the people on DADramaNow are the real pedophiles here.

And I know them saying authorities were looking into Club was just bluffing. Even if it wasn't, the fact that Club never got arrested or anything should've proven he's innocent. But you guys are all immature toddlers who must get what they want and can never be wrong...

Here we are six months later. No sting. It’s because even actual authorities don’t consider what they call proof to be valid. I've known feats of magic that were more legit than that.

As anyone who can hover their mouse over my name can see, I also still got at least about a thousand watchers, in fact here is the most recent person to fave a work of mine (notice the collection date).

[sauntering-down]

it's Monday and i did not wake up in a good mood, so i cheered myself up by rereading that time i experienced the first book in the New Jedi Order EU Star Wars series and liveblogged it to @cassiopixie. yes, that's the book where Chewie dies. no, she did not warn me. in case you want to experience the Nonsense™ for yourself...

well, i'm just diving into Vector Prime with absolutely no knowledge of the larger EU, so we'll see what happens

can't believe that run-on got published

…in what universe would Threepio's voice be considered "melodious" Leia. honey. are you okay. blink once for yes and twice for no.

if Mara's eyes sparkle or twinkle one more time i'm gonna riot

Mary: I was suddenly slammed with the memory of how there's a whole side plot in the EU with Luke falling in love with a Force Ghost who possesses another body and is from the planet CHAD me: ...what the unholy fuck

jfc i hope "Wurth Skidder" isn't a name because it's a fecking terrible one

hm, getting the impression Nomnom might be a bit of a douchebag yeah, he and his buddies just stoned a pit full of droids to death

tell me what's wrong with this, Mary. prove you're better than whoever edited this novel. also they're all young, in case you forgot. in case you forgot Danni is a young woman… she's young.

ah yes, he happily removes his disguise and surveys his "ornamental disfigurements" like a split eyelid and torn mouth, because that's totally a normal thing to do

THEY FUCKING COMMUNICATE THROUGH LUMPS WITH EYES THAT THEY STROKE A LOT MARY I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS

the thing turns itself inside-out and resembles the head of the dude he's talking to. what. the. fuck!

ah yes, recreational organ transplants, my favorite activity

this Wookiee's name is Triebakk and i s2g i keep reading it as Trebek so this Wookiee is Alex Trebek, the beloved host of Jeopardy gets really funny when the dude howls in protest imagine someone getting a Jeopardy question wrong and Alex Trebek just screaming wordlessly at them

politics are boring. i hope Jacen goes full Darth Brayden on them soon and stabs somebody

me: how much younger is he than the twins? Mary: Like…three years younger, I think??? Mary: So obviously he's not a baby, but a BABY all the same me: the wiki says a year and a half lol. so he'd be between 14 and 15, since the twins are 16… me: not QUITE a baby. a senior baby, perhaps. (aka the reason Anakin Solo is referred to as 'Senior Baby' frequently for the rest of this thing)

this story is going to be an ordeal

okay yeah Anakin's 15 and fucked up the Falcon by trying some flashy flying lmao gosh i love reading about characters who don't, you know, get off on MUTILATING THEMSELVES

HAH Anakin insults the Falcon and Chewie threatens to bite the kid's lightsaber in half. this is why the sequels sucked. none of this tomfoolery.

Lando invented an asteroid-dodging game that's only MODERATELY dangerous and somehow i'm not surprised at all

Mary: God do these guys ever RELAX and NOT TORTURE EACH OTHER

me: that'd be a no Mary: I…are we just reading carefully disguised hentai? me: very possibly

Mara's sick, the ~mysterious illness~ aka what's probably like mutated YV sperm or something, these sick fucks, is attacking her uterus and she's afraid she won't be able to have children… got some news for ya, lady you'll have a Ben eventually. he's MUCH better than the one we have now, i'm sure…

Jacen's in a Mood so he goes to annoy his little brother, a relatable sentiment

oh god Jacen is in top "i'm older and i know best so let me lecture you" form

YES THEY'RE GONNA LIGHTSABER BATTLE FUCK EACH OTHER UP a proper non-masochistic beatdown fuck yeah

Han's still fixing the Falcon and in the process gets annoyed at Chewie and zaps him in the ass with a live wire. i think this is flirting.

HAN AND LEIA ARE STILL DEEPLY IN LOVE SO FUCK YOU SEQUELS

point in this book's favor, Leia occasionally feels a little jealous of Mara's mentor-student relationship with Jaina, but overall the two of them get along REALLY well and it's just nice to see. no bitchiness or nonsense. good female friendship.

Yomin Carr, sabotaging a ship: ew ew ew i have to touch this filthy technology with my pure mutilated Yuuzhan Vong hands

i'm glad you're my copilot on this adventure. i think otherwise i would've quit right around the time the sadomasochistic rituals started…

k we're starting off at a dock on a planet called Reecee. i initially read that as Reeeee and wondered why anyone needed that many Es

Lando: hugs Han Lando: hugs Leia LONGER Han: >:||||| Lando: gives Mara the ULTIMATE HUG Luke: hell yeah my wife totally deserves this

this rando Jedi named Kyp has the top time when it comes to racing through the asteroid belt and Jaina reeeeeally wants to beat him lol Jacen crashes Anakin does better and then faceplants into a giant asteroid Jaina finally crashes after 27 minutes, more than doubling Kyp's time Anakin hasn't come back so i'm just gonna assume he's still floating around out there until i'm told otherwise

MAYBE I'D RATHER READ ABOUT JAINA BEING BADASS THAN PEOPLE GETTING CLEAVED OPEN WITH AXES, YOMIN CARR. EVER THOUGHT OF THAT

lmao Kyp's squadron leaves while blasting music through the loudspeakers and showing off their cool flying

okay, so far Jaina is all awesome all the time, Jacen won't quit philosophizing, and Anakin's the only one who acts like a normal teenager

Kyp's squad is called the Dozen-and-Two Avengers and ngl that does not roll off the tongue at all

OH BOY now Lando wants Han to go to Sernpidal, aka the next target of ol' Nomnom and Luke and Mara are going to the planet Yomin Carr just climate-changed to death Leia tells Han to take their least exciting Senior Baby son with him

and Kyp figures out a way to make it to Sernpidal. DON'T DO IT THE YUUZHAN VONG ARE GOING TO HAVE PAIN ORGIES THERE AND THEN DROP A MOON ON THE PLACE

sweet, it's Miko! he's going to be fed to a tentacle beast shortly, but hey, he's alive for now what with all the hentai and sadomasochism so far, i guess vore was next on the board

Nom Nom and Da'Gara: wow can't wait to mentally break this Jedi before we toss him to the tentacles!!! evil chuckling

every time Anakin and Chewie are in the same room, they pick on one another lol Chewie, you're like, 300 years old. stop stooping to a fifteen-year-old's level

welp, apparently in seven hours the moon's going to crash into the planet. THANKS NOM NOM

they've figured out SOMETHING is pulling the moon down. i can tell them right now it's disgusting because the YV thrive on that shit Anakin's gonna go find it while Han and Chewie evac as many people as they can… look at Senior Baby, finally getting to do something

god dammit Artoo you're supposed to lay off the rum i bet you haven't been going to your AA meetings again

me: this stuff would be really cool if it wasn't the fucking Yuuzhan Vong Mary: It would also be cool if it wasn't ONE WHOLE SENTENCE

#relatable

MARA SHANKS THIS BITCH FUCK YEAH press F to pay respects to Yomin Carr? I DON'T THINK SO

oooh, Miko's still alive! i guess they're torturing him by tricking his brain into thinking he's being repeatedly vored

Anakin Solo Has Two Dads

Chewie just fucking YEETS Anakin at Han lol

me: OH MY GOD WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK me: WHAAAAAT THE FUUUUUUUCK Mary: …I didn't want to tell you that this was the infamous book where Chewie dies, but… me: CHEWIE NOOOOOO .__.

like, okay, getting an entire moon to the face is a badass way to go, but OMG WAS THAT REALLY NECESSARY??????

now i feel bad for Senior Baby. he is baby. someone give him a hug

well, at least Anakin Gets Shit Done, rescuing the x-wing while they're being attacked by insects and he fries them with some electricity, which even Han is happy about. i am also happy because the last couple interactions between them were difficult to read lol

me: oh good, Jacen's not being a dick to Anakin about what happened to Chewie me: awwww Jaina is a good sister, hugging him and all Mary: They're good sibs me: too bad about that death and Sith thing

maybe you should lend Mara to your sons for a while, especially Senior Baby

let's EAT while reading about the fucking Yuuzhan Vong jerking off to pain

i have to revise my earlier prediction, i kinda love them all might be ride-or-die for Senior Baby, surprisingly. he's growing on me

Anakin: alright Jaina's the good pilot let's do some wild telepathic mind-joining shit so she can kick ass and take names through us! Jacen: welp, okay

we were deprived of Darth Aiden and got Darth Jaiden instead. tragedy.

anyway, the sibs do amazing for a bit, but then Anakin gets overloaded and loses the bond then i think he blasts off into hyperspace to escape the asteroids before he goes splat, but blacks out in the process nobody has ANY idea where he went, but Han and Leia go after him anyway. good luck dudes

meanwhile, Anakin's chilling out in dead space like "well, if my sibs are okay, that's cool, i don't mind dying. if they're dead, i'm gonna fucking riot"

Da'Gara: maybe i should be worried about the lack of communication from Yomin Carr? nah lol gonna focus on glory and shit instead

Han: WHERE did these idiot kids get their recklessness from????? Leia: wow. much wonder. very surprise.

Lando: the pilot was wearing a mask we think connected her to the ship, but nobody's tested it. Luke: aight hold on a second

oh thank GOD Han's stopped being a dick, actually hugs his poor kid

Jacen gets to put on the creepy YV living pain suit and creepy YV living breathing apparatus such fun

Miko… goes down taking two more YV with him. godspeed, dude

Jaina, Consummate Badass Pilot, catches the iceborer and skips off into hyperspace in one gorgeous movement

the war council convenes and pretty much decides they are SO fucked …so they're gonna like. evaporate as much moisture off the planet as possible, cool it down so the volcanoes quit working and the entire thing freezes. that doesn't sound right but i don't know enough about science to refute it

Senior Baby getting all excited about physics over here

…there are NINETEEN books in the NJO series how many different ways can you have the Yuuzhan Vong fetishizing pain and destroying entire planets

Mary: Thank you for letting me come with you on this wild ride hahaha me: no problem, my dude me: i will never ever touch anything from the EU ever again me: fucking Yuuzhan Vong Mary: Any EU book is better than Crystal Star, where Luke is sad because he can't feel the Force because a sun exploded near them, so he joins a cult that worships a giant golden blob me: that's just an average Wednesday afternoon for me

[dreamwritesimagines]

only Cherie would need another room just for planning. “Elias told you that Anthony had accepted every demand of your father.” Anthony Impatient™️ Bridgerton everyone lmao he just wants this over and done with like as soon as possible. he’s got tunnel vision, he just wants to marry Cherie no matter what. he’s not even reading anything. the settlement could have it in there that he has to sacrifice a kidney and he wouldn’t even second guess LMAO. 

“Anthony I have terrible news!” she almost gave Anthony a heart attack jfc ksksks why would she do that LMAO. “…That’s the terrible news?” YES ANTHONY IT IS. WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE??? i love how their worries are on different planets lmao. Anthony's terrible news is that Percy changed his mind and he would have to go to Gretna Green meanwhile Cherie...her veil not being finished on time, of course. but omg, this whole conversation just shows who’s the dramatic one and who’s the logical one on SOOOO many levels LMAAAO. the fact that she’s willing to sacrifice her frickin firstborn to church all for her veil and then Anthony just...gives a quick solution with no sweat at all. well, no sweat but a whole lot of Harlotness™️ that's for sure. he just can’t keep his hands to himself can’t he?? Obsessed Harlotness™️ Counter: Anthony - 1 | Cherie - 0

OH MY FUCKING GOD BWAHWJDSKJDAJVDHQKD ANTHONY WHAT !! IS !! IN !! YOUR !! POCKET?!?!?!? ALKSALSK HELP I CAN’T BWAHAHAHAHAHH it’s The Symbol of Whorism™️ Cherie, that’s what’s in his pocket. “Darling,” he said, somehow breathlessly. “You might want to stop moving.” SHE IS KILLING HIM AND SHE DOESN’T EVEN KNOOOOOW. Obsessed Harlotness™️ Counter: Anthony - infinity & beyond | Cherie - 0. he wins this chapter i’m sorry sklssks oh Benedict, idk if you’ve saved him or cockblocked him. both i think. LMAO he’s hiding it behind the desk i caaaan’t. this it too funny kskskss

TEN (10) !!! nightgowns?? why spend so much on that? when it’s going to end of on the floor either way??? alksalkslkasakslks sorry sorry. ANYWAYS THAT’S STILL SO MANY??? “Dear God, he will spoil you rotten.” i mean, isn’t she already?? ksksks Anthony’s already going above and beyond and they’re not even married yet. i mean in his eyes they already are but legally, not yet.

“It’s sheer.” well, you won’t be wearing it for long tho so there’s really nothing wrong with it sksks. i love how clueless she is. like, i really want a whole scene dedicated to her just realizing everything after their honeymoon just how clueless she’d been around Anthony and her just remembering every single innuendo Anthony hinted at her before. i can see her walking into his study all shocked saying, “You had too much fun with me asking you to take me to a brothel, didn’t you?” skskks it’s just too funny to think about. 

“It’s a nightgown for your honeymoon,” she reminded you. “What did you expect to wear? An actual gown?” oh Anthony would NOT like that skslsk i’m pretty sure he’d complain that there’s so many thing to undo and yada yada yada and he’ll get the scissors and Cherie would be so offended of him trying to hurt her gown and it’ll be a problem LMAO

“not to…rip easily. You know newlyweds.” AUNT LAVINIA SKSKSKSK tho i don’t think any type of fabric would stop Anthony The Obsessed Harlot™️ Bridgerton. if he wants it ripped, it will be ripped LMAO. “That Anthony won’t rip them off in the haste to get you out of them.” hmm, maybe an armor would do sksksk

“No, I don’t think Anthony wants to see me without my clothes on.” oh he’s been seeing/dreaming you without clothes on so i highly doubt he won’t want to see the real thing, i mean, Cherie, you saw his pocket earlier so LAKSLAKSLASK i know Cece is just DYING to tell her but it’s still two weeks out so patience <3

ugh. why is she here. she’s just ruined my mood completely. i won’t even name her. she’s not worth the effort to type lmao. “He might love you for now, yes. But that’s not the same as desiring you.” hmm, idk about you ma’am but your logic is a bit skewed. wanna know why?? bc you’re not getting both from your husband sooooooooo you don’t really have a say in that. UGH I HATE HER. SHE’S SUCH A JEALOUS BITCH AND I;M JUST CAN SHE FUCK OFF. she’s not even speaking the truth like my GOD. ask Anthony’s pocket, i’m sure it will prove his desires sksksksk (i’m sorry dee but i’m not going to let this pocket thing go it’s too funny)

“So I must ask. Should I send the invitation for you and your husband, or you, your husband and his mistress?” YES. YOU TELL HER!!! now THAT stung bc she knows it’s the TRUTH. “I hope it hurts.” omg.. does she mean like, the consummation? if so then :// bc she’s speaking from experience right? and like, i want to feel bad her but then. BUT BUT if she just means Cherie and Anthony's marriage in general then sorry ma’am, that ain’t happening. these two are far too in love unlike you.

but ugh, i hate how she’s just put those insecurities back especially when Cherie knows so little. like i’m sure everyone can see how much of a Cherie Whore™️ Anthony is with the way he just looks at her but she just thinks it’s admiration and love. and yes, it is, but it’s also Carnal Lust™️ and Desires™️ madam. Anthony loved you yes, but did he want you? YES. YES HE DOES. ASK HIS POCKET DAMMIT SKSKSK. tho i’m sure Anthony will be quick to reassure her of that.

“What happened?” he’s just so attentive aah i love him. like he just knows right away that something is bothering her.

“See through, you say?” ugh, Anthony will you stop thinking with your pocket for a second lmao. “Do you want me?” LSAKSLASKK SHE CAN’T JUST ASK THAT. god she’s going to kill him before the wedding idk what’s going to happen to him after LMAO. “I’ve never loved or desired anyone more in my life.” see??? “I’m nearly going insane here.” SEEE??? his pocket is about to Bust™️ LMAAAO but god this whole conversation is HILARIOUS. “I will enlighten you about that really soon.” oh god Anthony WHY DID U HAVE TO USE THAT WORD YOU WHORE™️??? we’re preparing for The Enlightenment™️ is that it then? that’s why that chapter is called Preparations? kslaksla i’m kidding, i’m kidding. we can NEVER be prepared when that time comes LMAO

“You could enlighten me tonight, you know?” CHERIE BWAHAHAHA it’s even funnier that SHE DOESN’T FUCKING KNOW WHAT SHE’S ASKING OF HIM. you are killing you future husband madam. “You deserve better than some stolen moment.” oh pls <33 look at this growth. honestly, who is this man. WHAT DID U DO TO MY OBSESSED HARLOT™️? lmao he’s being The Gentleman™️ right now and i love it bc he’s in soooo much pain while doing it lololol. “We’re going to another room with people in it before I give in to my desire and decide to enlighten you right here.” OOP. NEVER MIND. HE’S HERE. THE OBSESSED HARLOT™️ IS HERE. lol he never left. can never take out The Whority™️ out of this man. “Trust me, you won’t have to remind me.” pretty much lmao that’s been on his mind BEFORE you were courting. i doubt he needed the reminder.

but god, this was such a fun read (apart from the bitch bit lmao) but aaah so the engagement ball is next chapter right? and then the wedding after that??? EITHER WAY I CANNOT WAIT OMG. The Talk™️ omg Elias and Percy crying??? Percy walking her down the aisle?????? there’s so many things that’s about to happen and i’m so excited!! <333 amazing chapter as always love!

– TM Anon™️

Omg omg darling helloooo! Aaaaaa I’m so excited for this! ❤

I doubt Anthony was even paying any attention during those settlement negotiations😂 Like, he wanted to sign it as soon as possible so that they wouldn’t have to delay the wedding even for a day, he was so impatient! 😂

Oh I think she will do that a lot! 😂 Like, they’re incredibly different than each other and Cherie likes to be dramatic, it runs in her family 😂 So they will be having conversations like those many times 😂

The Symbol of Whorism™ I AM DYING AT THIS! 😂

Obsessed Harlotness Counter is like going into overdrive whenever Cherie is near Anthony latelyyyy😏😈

TEN NIGHTGOWNS YES😍 That was probably Aunt Lavinia’s idea and it’s uncommon for sure😂 Other brides probably got like one or two for the honeymoon but Aunt Lavinia knows better, she saw how they were looking at each other 😂

Oh she will put the pieces together after the honeymoon😂 And Anthony will have so much fun with that😂

He will complain about how there are so many things to undo the moment she changes into anything other than her nightgowns during the honeymoon😂 And Cherie’s gowns are very, very important for her 😂

AN ARMOR LOLLLL😂😂😂

He has been dreaming about her nonstop for a while now 😏

Oh Miriam is so wrong about that!

does she mean like, the consummation? if so then :// bc she’s speaking from experience right? and like, i want to feel bad her but then. BUT BUT if she just means Cherie and Anthony's marriage in general then sorry ma’am, that ain’t happening. these two are far too in love unlike you. Oh no no, Miriam is actually not speaking from the experience BUT she’s heard it might happen during her “talk” before her own marriage. I don’t think it hurt her during her own consummation, it wasn’t unpleasant or anything but it lacked passion💔 So she’s basically wishing some horror story she heard on Cherie, not her own experience!

That definitely made Cherie very insecure! Everyone but her knows how much Anthony actually desires her but not her ❤

ASK HIS POCKET DAMMIT Lolllll this is so good! 😂😂

Anthony will you stop thinking with your pocket for a second HONEY YOU’RE HILARIOUS OMG😂😂

Anthony thought she was joking at first 😂 He couldn’t even believe she would ask him that, he thought it was very clear 😂

Enlightenment 😏😁❤

lmao he’s being The Gentleman™ right now and i love it bc he’s in soooo much pain while doing it lololol. EXACTLY! Especially after talking to her…😈

that’s been on his mind BEFORE you were courting. i doubt he needed the reminder. You’re absolutely right! 😂 Anthony has plans for the honeymoon for sure 😏

Yesssss, the engagement ball is next chapter and the wedding chapter after that! ❤❤ I’m so excited, I hope you’ll like them! ❤

Honeeey, you’re amazing and you’ve made my day with this, thank you so so much! ❤❤❤

[janiedean]

ooh so linked to the Brienne ask re: the kingsguard part. What are your thoughts on Aerys’ kingsguard, especially like Arthur Dayne who Jaime from what I remember has complicated feelings for but pretty much idolises him. And they’re so loved by almost everyone in universe!!! Like idk how to think about them really my feelings for them are also complicated

+ okay good because I honestly don’t see why people love them so much like most of the things we’ve heard about them are like. Objectively bad. And like yeah the idea of them is cool but well that can only go so far. also I’m sorry if these asks are a mess I’m exhausted!! ALSO I think you’re amazing for answering all of us anons with such detail I always love coming on to your blog

(putting both asks in the same place uu)

in order: the fact that they're loved by everyone in-universe and fandom actually likes them (or at least arthur dayne hahahahaha god) is like... some of george's best trolling because guess what the entire point is that they're supposed to look like amazing people/the real deal when instead they're all terrible the end - except again for the poor martell prince whom we don't know enough about and I'll give him a pass bc martell people are usually not stupid af but in order:

as I said george has made a point of stating that knighthood is a rotten institution and the kg especially aerys being like... what should be the highest honor for a knight is equally as rotten as knigthood in general and is made of people who do Not Deserve The Title - I mean again hey it's orders so marital rape is fine, hey we're leaving the 15yo to man an entire castle? WHY NOT, the king is mad? WELL WE SWORE TO SERVE HIM, like not counting martell prince there isn't one single person in the aerys kg except jaime who actually upheld the oaths they swore ie protecting the innocent so make of that what you will

the fact that jaime aka the fifteen year old is literally the only one who gets the job and then goes there like 'hey we're basically covering for marital rape what the fuck' and no one else bats an eyelid should already say everything there is to say about these people's moral standard

the fact that none of them actually stuck up for the fifteen-year old who was obviously not ready for the job nor tried to idk do anything to make it easier on him or whatever also says everything about their moral standard because honestly fuck you

the fact that everyone thinks they're amazing jaime included when they're all pretty much shitty is like... well, same as fandom does, which means that the readers bought what people in-narrative do... except that the moment you scratch the surface it's really damned bad

and I'm saying barristan is on thin ice because from his chapters you can see he's like... not a bad dude but like his reaction to jaime being in there still when he saw aerys is 'ah that fucker who killed the king and was so proud he had to try and get into it at fifteen'? like??? fuck you?? honestly the fact that all of them literally served a dude who put people on fire and was a menace/danger to the realm and then have the gall to think that jaime is the worst or who didn't like try to help him or anything while he was obv struggling with his vows and the fact that he was serving a madman says all about their moral standards, again

and honestly arthur dayne is the literal worst of all of them because like - first of all oh you knight the 15yo who goes along with you slaying bandits and you don't try to dissuade him from joining the kg? what the fucking fuck am I supposed to think - second of all you don't even warn him of what is expecting him when he joins when you've been there for a while? - but third of all which drives me insane and I hate that fandom sleeps on it and goes around happily like ARTHUR/LYANNA THE SHIP OF DREAMS... okay listen like I have literally zero investment in lyanna as a character or in r + l and I don't necessarily think he did everything - I think they had a mutual infatuation and eloped and she sorely regretted it and then it was on r. who shouldn't have like acted on it because he happened to be the 20+ year old with a wife and kids, but there's the whole tower of joy situation - in which sorry but we have arthur fucking off KL with other kg people and leaving all the others in the literal shit bc they'd have to deal with aerys and it'd be less of them than they should be, to go with rhaegar to the tower of joy to help him elope which whatever, and then lyanna was left there after r. had to go back... when her brother and father were burned alive and like if she knew that then I doubt she'd have wanted to stay and if she didn't then they withheld fairly important fucking information, so like he stayed there guarding a pregnant 15-16 yo who most likely did not want to be there and who is pregnant by his best friend whose family oh accidentally murdered half of hers........ and lyanna was there even after rhaegar died so I mean it's not like the moment he happened this dude goes and says 'hey maybe we should actually go back and see if we can solve this mess' no he kept her prisoner there anyway - on top of that... here I'm wildly speculating but: he had to know rhaegar was dead and when ned showed up if we are to believe him and idt he was unreliable on that... ned didn't want to fight him or kill him he just wanted to get his sister and leave and like he was most likely in love with ashara aka arthur's sister so why the fuck would he want to kill him right, and like rhaegar's dead and arthur has nothing to lose by letting ned up especially knowing that lyanna is fucking dying in childbirth like she's dying her brother's there just let him up and solve it later esp when the dude doesn't want to kill you....... but no ned had to kill him because he wouldn't budge and why the fucking fuck wouldn't you budge at that point? your side lost the war, the guy you were friends with that you did all of this for is dead, the girl is about to die at least let her die with her family, why? - only thing I can deduce from it: that rhaegar told him that the baby's survival was the most important thing because third head of the dragon blah blah blah and that if the war was lost to just grab the baby and lyanna if she survived and fuck off to essos until he grew up, except that lyanna didn't survive so the conclusion is that he tried to stop ned from going up there bc he'd have found out about the baby and tried to stop them and at that point who gives a fuck if lyanna died or not but he'd have liked... let her die and kill ned in the process and done that most likely, and sorry but when they knightly vows are, I would like to remind everyone, In the name of the Warrior I charge you to be brave. In the name of the Father I charge you to be just. In the name of the Mother I charge you to defend the young and innocent. In the name of the Maid I charge you to protect all women…. like... what, what exactly has this dude done that would qualify as that? because lyanna would be young and innocent and a woman and he basically is letting her die, that behavior does not qualify as bravery and he'd like... deny the kid a chance of growing up with his family period if he killed ned and he didn't seem to particularly give a fuck las we checked, and that's like not counting the whole 'oh I won't tell the 15yo who idolizes me that he's signing

his life away to trauma nor I will support him for shit when he does' part of it, but the tower of joy stuff is shady whichever way you look at it and honestly the more time passes the more I'm convinced this guy is just a complete pos and the worst of them all except gregor when it comes to like 'people thinking you're a good knight and you're actually a pos instead' and I'm dying on that hill until george proves me wrong

and on that the thing is that... I ranted about it once here but basically jaime idolizes the shit out of him because he never saw that even if his subconscious kinda knows because when he had the weirwood dream his greatest fear was confronting the former kg and everyone was accusing him of stuff he couldn't have physically prevented (more ranting on the weirwood dream here) and he's there like 'ah I wanted to be arthur dayne but I became the smiling knight instead' but like... actually he is more of a true knight than arthur dayne can ever hope to be? because like in the above meta I was talking specifically about how to pia he's like... better than arthur dayne, but like not to be that person but jaime who thinks he's the gregor clegane of his time and not arthur dayne, while arthur dayne was... doing the shady toj thing with lyanna - saved an entire city from aerys blowing it up - risked his neck for brienne even if he didn't even like her as in he got himself kicked in a healing stump when he couldn't even stand up for himself so she wouldn't be raped - risked his neck going back for her at harrenhal and jumped into the bear pit without even knowing how he'd manage it - was actually being a decent person to tommen until c. forced him to leave - the moment he saw what happened with pia he gave her her rapist's head when she's like a commoner no one gaf about and took her into her service - when his squire wanted to bed her he like told him to be kind to her jfc - is per tyrion the only relative who actually loved him/freed him/actually stuck up for him (and tysha is on tywin thank you all very much and jaime feels so great about it he doesn't think about it until he can't anymore) (also he was the one chasing the bandits away in the first place so he was probably there like oH I HELPED A MAIDEN too lmao god fuck tywin) - actually stuck for his cat vow bc he took riverrun without bloodshed - sent brienne after sansa with the magic amazing sword because he wanted to upheld their shared vow to cat going against his own family - the moment brienne shows up like hey wanna blow this joint and leave the army you don't wanna lead to find sansa he didn't even like blink before saying yes and I'm supposed to think that in between him and arthur dayne he isn't the only one who actually stuck to his vows as well as he could/knows anything about them/is actually a trueknight™? because lmao the fact that jaime doesn't fancy himself one because of aerys when everyone fancies arthur dayne one when the latter did absolutely fucking nothing beyond slaying bandits to put his money where his mouth was while jaime didn't even like brand himself like that and still did all of that and half of it was acting on instinct not even like doing the math before and *he* was the one wanting to be knighted at fifteen and took his vows seriously when oh wait knightly vows are basically the epitome of selflessness is like again grrm trolling the hell out of everyone characters included but it's clear from the narrative imvho and I can't wait for the moment he serves the just desserts and a) jaime realizes it b) everyone else in-narrative realizes it c) bran timetravels to the fucking toj and we find out what actually went down there and this saint arthur narrative is burned to the ground because honestly no

there, I think I spat out almost all of my venom XD

[tellywoodtrash]

immj2 01.04.21 lb

lmao, guess i'm back on my bs.🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

vansh don't know shit about "his" riddhima, if he thinks she'd “bina soche-samjhe pee jaati” esp. after that paralyzing crap he pulled. she should tell him that and prove it's the real her.

can he stop answering every question with another question?????? so annoying.

this whole scene is so fucking dumb. anyone with a brain cell can tell it's obviously truth serum, coz he can't kill her and needs the truth.

“tum pregnant nahi ho kyunki tum riddhima nahi ho.” coz................. only one woman on the planet can be pregnant at a time? amazeballs logic, sir.

gotta say i love R 2.0 and her completeeeeee refusal to abide by V's fuckery.

WHAT THE FUCK HE JUST TACKLED HER TO THE GROUND JFC MAN EVEN IF SHE’S NOT PREGNANT THAT CAN’T BE HEALTHY FOR HER BONES

hahahahaha she's like "you want riddhima? i'll give you riddhima, bitch" and JUST plants one on him.

ofc he's the kinda weirdo who keeps his eyes open while being kissed.

lmaoooooooooo he lost himself in it. riddhima’s got a magic tongue huh? that proves her identity like some kinda biometric, but also soothes angry husbands into submission.

lollllllllllllllll he's having a real crisis of faith. coz if this is riddhima, man has he fucked up BIG TIMEEEEEEEE. if it isn't riddhima, he's still fucked up big time, by letting humshakal girl tongue-kiss him into oblivion.

he's so fucking stupid, why won't he just get a DNA test...................... WHY WON'T ANYONE IN THIS SHOW GET DNA TESTS WHEN PPL WHO LOOK LIKE OTHER PPL SHOW THE FUCK UP OUTTA NOWHERE ACTING FUNNY???

oh wait. does he think this is riddhima after all? coz he's ranting about dhoka and all............ if she's a doppelganger then kaahe ka dhoka???? 

ofc, aryan walked by and heard the rant. abbe yaaaaaaaar.

WHO THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK DOESN'T LOCK THEIR LAPTOP WHEN THEY WALK AWAY????? VANSH-I-WANT-ALL-MY-SECRETS-KEPT-FOREVER-RAISINGHANIA THAT'S WHO. MAIN TOH SUSU KARNE BHI NA JAAOON WITHOUT LOCKING MY COMPUTER. I’M NOT LEAVING MY SHAMEFUL INTERNET HISTORY OUT THERE FOR THE WORLD TO SEE.

oh ghar mein naya siyaapa yeh hai ki siya went off somewhere, despite vansh locking her up in her room. man, wtf he's really turning into some 90s movie villain dad.

ishani happy and vansh realllllllll unhappy about siya joining ishani's ranks of being a “bitch” (which is what this show calls all women who have a mind of their own............)

anupriya, you shoulda saved all this momming for the shitty boys you raised, instead of pushing patriarchal bs on the girls.

“siya vansh raisinghania ki behen hai, koi uska baal bhi baanka nahi kar sakta!!!!!!!!!” uh...............................

ppl would wanna murder her PURELY for the reason that she’s YOUR sister, dumbass. 

ugh this sasta!vansh and his ganda saxophone playing (always the same irritating tune). nahiiiiiiiiiiii chahiyeee humeinnn. mujhe mera kabirrrrrr do wapassssssssssss!!!!!!!

siya has taken vihaan bhai's “taadna is free of cost” motto to heart and is drinking the shirtlessness in. i'd be all for it if it was literally anyone else other than her own brother-dad's clone.

he’s like does your mom know you’re here, does your family know you’re here? she’s a fucking grownass woman, vyom. a dumb bitch who shouldn’t be out here unsupervised, but........ she grown.

OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGHE KEEPS SAYING “CHERRY” AND I LEGIT THOUGHT THAT WAS FAKE!RIDDHIMA’S NAME TILL NOW.................... I JUST GOT IT IN THIS SCENE, THAT HE WAS ACTUALLY SAYING THE THE FRENCH WORD “CHÉRI” AND THAT’S HOW HE REFERS TO ALL WOMEN.

her parvati bani poo parivartan is khaali looks mein haan, she still calling him AAP and talking like a coy little baby.

LMAO EMBARRASSED FOR WHAT???????? HAVING A TINYASS UNNOTICEABLE RIP IN HER THICKKKKK DENIM JACKET?????

yeh banda shirt hamesha paas rakhta hai, par pehnta nahi. it’s like his version of a fire extinguisher. if it’s being used, things have gonna hella wrong.

alskdjalskjdlaskjdlaksjlk he’s made a new saxophone dhun named after her. height of romance!!!!!!!!!!!!!! vansh bhai, kuch seekho. nahi, aapko toh hamesha biwi ko paralytics ya zeher ya truth serum pilaana hai, ya baat baat par goli maarni hai.

ishani is right, siya really needs to get out more, coz if she’s falling for this kinda basiccccccccccc bullshit..............

aryan has brought dadi to see riddhima waala proof. it doesn’t need to be April 1st to know that iska bohut bada popat banne waala hai.

yup vansh is here to dunk on him nice and good. oh aryan......... idk why you even try.

sassy vansh is the ONLY tolerable vansh.

oh daaaaaaaang aryan real mad, calling him bastard and all. show OTT pe aane ko wait kar raha tha aryan, taaki asli gaali bulaa sake.

dadi: “kisi par ilzaam lagaane se pehle dus baar soch liya karo.” coz............. that’s what YOU did, before you put everything that was happening in this house on riddhima’s head? even though you had zero proof???? i really think vansh needs to take dadi for a MRI or some shit coz her behaviour is just bizarre these days.

ofc he’s gonna answer it like WOH ZINDA HAI, MERE DILLLLLLLLLL MEIN.............

ok “yaadon mein”, same difference.

ishani, a spouse is for more than just sexual gratification. lord. everyone in this show needs so much couple’s therapy.

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU HAVE YOUR LOCATION ON FOR HER TO TRACK, ANGRE??????????? OMG YOU’RE THE WORST SECURITY PERSON FUCKING EVER. KHANNA BHAIYYA BHI ITNE BEWAKOOF NAHI THE.

asakdjlaskjdlaskjdlksajdfkjsd angre legit contemplating leaving his boss ka most valuable asset unattended coz his wife wants to fuck.

riddhima’s like yeah go, mujhe nahi mil raha toh kya, tum toh at least mazze le lo.

angre is convinced this is riddhima bhaabi. giving kasme vaade of even dying for her.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha he thinks vansh/riddhima were IDEAL COUPLE...... dude, isse zyaada ideal toh biryani aur ketchup waala combo hai. 

godddddddddddddddd anyone with a brain cell has by this point deduced ki this is real riddhima and she’s doing all this to save vansh from vyom in some way. stop taking the audience to be as idiotic as the main characters, show.

lmaooooooooooooooooooo vansh was all I’LL FIND SIYA and now he’s just sitting in the living room with his angry bird face till she decided to waltz in the front door. sooooooo.......... ishani can track her hubs, but you telling me vansh doesn’t have a tracker on siya????

what hulia??????? everyone’s ragging on siya’s new style while ishani and riddhima and that lollipop chick can wear whatever the fuck they want? what nonsense.

lmao everyone’s horrified to find out that siya’s learnt the basic definition of feminism. itne saal tak they kept her in the house so she wouldn’t know, but hawa lag hi gayi ladki ko.

precap: lollipop girl rubs up against vansh warning him ki aryan knows his secret. aryan and angre haathapaai as the former tries to shoot riddhima. they’ve framed the scene like he got her, but i bet he didn’t. koi aur aa gaya hoga saamne.

tw// mentions of sexual harassment, manipulation and death

ok I will literally never forgive th danganronpa team for making sayaka and leon two characters just to explain how the game worked

i didn’t really like sayaka, i found her annoying (it was mostly her voice lmao) but she had potential, but i do think she was a good first victim bc she was like,, the love interest n stuff

but leon is a completely different story,,

he got like,, 15 minutes of screen time, including his death, and he had SO MUCH potential,, he had such an interesting story with being a baseball star, but hating baseball, and the fact that he took depression naps, and he was so fun to hang out with in fte and he just got threw away like that to explain how the game works

and people just brush over the kanon situation because he’s underrated and stuff,,

i don’t think people realise that kanon was creepy. she said his name in her sleep, was obsessed with him, and used her emotions to keep him with her,

i do kin leon so i might be a bit biased here but the kanon situation was wrong on every level,

idk if i should call is sexual harassment because i do think she never actually *sexually* harassed him, plz correct me if I’m wrong though.

but she was definitely manipulative, if she was doing it on purpose idk about that, but she was manipulative

she had these emotional outbursts all the time, i believe was to get leon to stay and not to leave her, but i do know kanon does actually love leon, and isn’t just obsessed with him, which was why she was so upset when she read the killing game documents

the only person who she truly loved was dead, and it wasn’t better for leon either

all he wanted in canon was to be loved, and he died thinking everyone hated him. but kanon didn’t. he died believing he was unloved for doing something he heavily regretted

and while he will never be dirt free, he deserved so much better than what he got

his problems are brushed off by the fandom just because he isn’t as popular as the others. if he stayed longer, i think the fandom would love him, and actually realise what he’s gone through

he was stuck doing something he hated all his life, all he wanted was to be musician, but his life was cut short and the dreams were never accomplished

also, he is the only one who fought for his life in the trial, all the others just accepted death, but with Leon, he kept saying he objected, he tried his best to live. in the anime, he bangs on the doors in a desperate attempt to leave. he had a literal breakdown, and none of the others gave a flying fuck about him

he was sobbing into the podium thingy, begging for his life, and even in the execution, you can see how he tried to endure and survive it, but with the others, they just let themselves die.

leon is one of the most heartbreaking characters with one of (if not the most) heartbreaking ending and he deserved so much better

and the worst part, no one realises how heartbreaking leon is. because he, like hiro, got no development and was comic relief.

and, ik the manga isn’t canon, but in that, he didn’t even kill sayaka, and he still got the most brutal execution in thh (apart from junko but i dont like her so she doesn’t count)

he had the only person who truly loved him at home, he couldn’t say goodbye to the only person who loved him, same goes for kanon, and it’s not like his classmates made it any better.

they didn’t give a shit! they looked more scared for their own lives than remorseful for leon. in fact, Chihiro was the only one bothered by killing leon, and he wound up dead.

sakura literally goes “how disappointing” while leon was begging for his life. i get that danganronpa is a messed up game and is meant to be sad, but leons story was so subtly relateable and heartbreaking that no one even noticed it.

in conclusion, leon kuwata was robbed. he deserved better, and should’ve lasted longer.

jfc just made myself cry lol

This fic is a part of an EXO collaboration! 12 Days of Lust is the summary list if you’d like to take a look~ one day for each OT12 member~ I really hope you enjoy!

(The beautiful header image was made as a gift by my best friend @gamerboychoi​, thank you angel~)

Summary: y/n grew up in an adopted family, unaware of her origins. On her twenty-second birthday, her friend Kayla whom dabbles in the occult, gives her a strange book, telling her it can answer her questions if she uses it properly. Y/n being the innocent and curious woman she is, asked herself, “What could go wrong?”. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately depending on how you look at it), she accidentally performs the wrong spells, and summons a mysterious and dark incubus. There is something about him that peaks her curiosity more than it should, though...

“Happy birthday, y/n!” Kayla yelled from behind you, causing you to nearly jump out of your own shoes.

“Kayla, what are you doing here?! Don’t do that!” you let out a huff.

Your best friend laughed in response before rushing over and squeezing you in her arms. “I saw you come out of the bookstore! I was at the burger place across the street.”

Now that you had calmed down a bit, you gave Kayla a soft smile, embracing her in return. “Well I’m glad you’re here! I was just going to call you. I don’t have any plans today, do you want to go see a movie or something?”

Kayla raised a brow at you questioningly. “You want to go to the movies? It’s your birthday! We should be partying!” She started dancing to what you could only assume was music in her head, right out in the middle of the sidewalk. 

With a short laugh, you rolled your eyes and looked away from her in embarrassment. “You know I work in the morning, I can’t go out tonight!”

Your best friend scoffed. “You sound 70 years old, come on! We are young, full of energy, wild!” 

You bit your inner cheek, trying to hold your ground but knowing that Kayla would usually get what she wanted. She was very convincing, after all. You don’t want to seem like an old lady, do you?

“Fine, fine. We can go to a club or something, but only for a few hours, and if I say I want to leave, we leave, got it?” You furrowed your brows sternly at her. This time she rolled her eyes, disregarding you. “Hey, I have a birthday present for you! Come back to my house before you go get ready and pick it up!”

“You got me a gift? Really?” She could hear the excitement in your voice as your eyes lit up. Reaching over, Kayla patted grabbed your hand and pulled you down the street, her house conveniently just around the corner. Once the both of you arrived to the door, she pulled her keys out and unlocked it, throwing it open.

As soon as the door open, a chill ran up your spine. You had always known that Kayla was into occult things, but for some reason, entering her house always made you feel a deep unease in your heart. It didn’t feel right. You always looked past it though, as to avoid hurting her feelings.

Stepping into the house, your cheery disposition helped you push the discomfort to the side as you followed her to her bedroom.

“Here!” She said, shoving a box into your hands before you could even step into the doorway. “What is this?” You wondered aloud as you took the box. “Well the point of a birthday gift is that it is a surprise until you open it, sooo...”

You narrowed your eyes playfully at her before beginning to take the wrapping off. “Thank you for the life lesson, Kayla.” 

“Any time.” She smirked.

Holding the now unwrapped box in your hands, you pulled the tape off and opened it up, revealing a book inside. You froze, not even having to take it out of the box to know what this was. The cover was a dark leather, parts of the cover raised up to form shapes and symbols you didn’t understand, but knew couldn’t possibly mean anything good.

“Kayla, what-”

“Just hear me out!” she interrupted you. “I know you aren’t into these kinds of things. I know they make you uncomfortable, but I also know you have been going through a lot, you have a lot of questions about your life. Who your real parents are, what your purpose is, all that.”  You chose to remain silent, staring at her incredulously as she continued. “This book can answer every question you have, if you use it properly. It can also help you reach your goals, and I know you like to try knew things, so I think this would be great for you to just give a try”

A look of concern crossed your face as you stared at the book for a moment before removing it from the box, flipping it open and scanning the pages. “Kayla... This seems really dangerous... I don’t know.”

“Just give it a try, okay? It will be fine. Think on it!” She gave a smile before herding you back out the doorway and to the front door. “Now I have to get ready to run some errands before we go out tonight, so I will see you later, alright?”

You nodded, still a little lost in thought, not really taking in what she said as she rushed you out. 

“I love you!” Kayla called out as you walked down the sidewalk, before closing the door. “I love you too...” you called back, basically to her closed door, before heading back to your house.

Afternoon rolls around and you already made lunch, no errands to run, nothing to do until your plans with Kayla tonight. What did she say when she gave me the gift again?.. “This book can answer every question you have, if you use it properly.” ... What is that supposed to mean?  With a heavy sigh, you left yourself up off of the couch and go upstairs to your bedroom, where you left the book on your bed. Taking it in your hands, you begin to flip through the pages again. One of the pages catches your eye, however. The page described a way to summon a “companion to help you with your problems”. You weren’t sure what exactly that meant, but it sounded like what Kayla described to you.

After a while of staring at the page, you make up your mind. Curiosity wins, you are going to perform this ritual. These things don’t really work anyways, right? With that, you looked over all of the needed ingredients, which luckily were just typical household items that you had laying around. You quickly ran down the steps to grab everything before you lost your nerve, holding everything in your arms as you walked back up the stairs and to your bedroom.

“Okay!” You spoke aloud, an attempt to calm your nerves. “Let’s get this party started.” You took a moment to laugh at yourself. After that was out of the way, you carefully read the instructions, lighting candles in a circle around you before cutting up and pouring the different ingredients into a bowl. You pull out a piece of paper and sign your name it, but then pause, staring down at everything around you. It felt wrong. You shouldn’t be doing this. Nothing good ever comes from stories like these, and you didn’t want to be another fool who didn’t know what they were doing. Unfortunately, the desire to learn about your real parents and where they are now was too strong.

Well, if I am going to do this, I am going to do it as safely as I can. Quickly you stood up and went back down the stairs and into the kitchen, grabbing the biggest knife you could find. Once the knife was safely in your hands, you carefully walked back up the stairs, because you’re smart enough to not run with sharp objects.

Back in your room, you sat back down in the middle of the candle circle, took a deep breath, and burned the paper with your name on it in the bowl. 

Now all that is left is to wait. With baited breath, you sat on your knees, gripping the knife in your hand tightly as you looked around the room. Everything was in place, as it always had been. The monitor was by the window, your books were all in place... wait, were those DVD’s there before?!... Yes. Yes they were.

After a minute of nothing happening, you released your breath and dropped the knife onto the floor. “Well... That’s unfortunate.” You couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed for some reason. 

Before you stood up, you made sure to blow out the candles, it was probably bad not to do that, right? You shrug, grabbing them and putting them away. Once you had everything all cleaned up, you realized how tired your lunch had made you. Maybe you could get a nap in before going clubbing with Kayla? Yeah, that’s what you’d do. A glimmer caught your eye in the corner of the room. The knife was still on the floor, how did you miss that? Walking over to it, you picked it up and placed it on the table beside your bedroom door. You’d take it downstairs after your nap.

Your alarm blared at 6pm, shocking you out of your deep sleep and making you bolt upright. “Jesus!” You gripped your chest where your heart was. I really need to change my alarm to something a little more calming before I have a heart attack one of these days. Suddenly you recall the ritual you performed earlier in the afternoon and quickly looked around the room, and yet, nothing changed. With a sigh, you got up off of the bed and rushed to the shower so that you could get ready for the night.

After at least 40 minutes of deep introspective thinking in the shower, you stepped out and wrapped yourself up in a towel. You often let your hair air dye, so you just left it as is to make a mess on your hall and bedroom carpet. You make your way out of the bathroom and down the hall to your bedroom, opening the door and stepping inside the door frame. 

In your bedroom, faced away from you by your bed, was a man dressed in a tight-fit black dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up past the elbows. He was wearing black slacks and based on the form of his back and the part of his arms that was showing, you could tell he definitely had some muscle to him. 

Instinctually, you let out a shriek before remembering you left your kitchen knife on the table beside you. You quickly turned and reached for the knife, but to your horror, it wasn’t there. You were standing in your doorway with nothing but a towel, dripping wet, and you didn’t even have a weapon. 

“Looking for this?” The sudden voice surprised you, it was deep, yes, but somehow calming, smooth. It put you at ease just a tiny bit, but that in itself concerned you. The man raised his hand, revealing he was twirling the knife between his fingers. 

You didn’t say a word, honestly even if you wanted to, you weren’t sure your voice would work at that moment. W-What-... Before you could finish your thought, he slowly turned around and locked eyes with you. You felt your breath catch in your throat. Somehow though, he seemed even more shocked to see you, than you did to see him. He immediately stopped twirling the knife, his big brown eyes wide and his soft pillowy lips parted. Why...Why am I thinking about his lips right now? Stop it! He is a stranger who broke into your house! Get it together!

The stranger in front of you closed his mouth, jaw clenching as he did so, which gave you a weird fluttering feeling in your stomach. This isn’t how normal people react to a stranger breaking into their home... What is going on? “W-..Who are you?! What are you doing in my house?!” You stuttered out, taking another step back. “You’re... glowing?” He spoke again, completely ignoring your questions.

“...What?” You belted out, still frantic. He remained silent for a moment, as if inspecting not only you, but your soul too. His eyes felt like they were looking right through you. Just then, he began slowly walking towards you. Startled, you quickly backed up against the hallway wall before freezing, staring at him as he approached calmly. His eyes didn’t once leave yours as he reached you, pausing only inches from your body. You couldn’t quite place what he smelled like... embers? Cinnamon? What is that? 

“You really aren’t expecting anyone?... Really?” He spoke slowly, his right arm raising up beside you as he rested his hand on the wall beside your head. 

Pressing yourself closer against the wall as if trying to become one with it, you looked up into his large brown eyes. They seemed to have a never ending darkness in them. “W-what?...” You muttered, before realization lit up in your eyes. “Oh... Oh no, that worked?!” You squeaked, causing him to let out a gentle chuckle, catching you off guard. 

The man raised his free hand up to your damp hair, taking it into his fingers and playing with it gently, his eyes examining the strands as if he was deeply interested them. With his eyes looking away from you, you finally had a chance to see him up close and really take him in. He had short black hair that fell just over his forehead, the sides shaved. Three things stuck out about him. His lips, his sharp jawline, and the way that although his skin wasn’t even touching you, you could feel his abnormally warm body heat as if he was right up against you.

“I... I’m sorry, what... is your name?” You asked cautiously. He released your hair before moving his hand down your bare arm at an agonizingly slow pace, the heat of his hand making your skin tingle everywhere he touched. “Kyungsoo.” He muttered. Distracted by his touch, you didn’t even hear him. “Oh, I’m sorry, what was it?” 

His eyes quickly shot up again, locking with yours and sending chills up your spine. Slowly, he leaned in, fingers brushing your damp hair behind your ear. Everything he did was painfully slow and for some reason, it made your heart race. Leaning in, his lips just an inch away from your ear, he whispered to you in that deep, smooth tone. “My name, is Kyungsoo.” The hand he had beside your head moved down to rest on your hip, the only thing keeping it from your bare skin was what you realized now to be a much too short towel. “And you summoned me.”

The demon stood in front of you, eyes staring deeply into your own. Kyungsoo, he said his name was. “You’re very touchy for a demon who is supposed to answer my important questions, aren’t you?” This time it was Kyungsoo who froze, a genuine look of confusion on his face. “Answer your important questions?...” He asked, clearly not following. 

“Yeah, you know... the page said you would help me with my problems! You solve problems don’t you?” You prodded impatiently. 

“Pr-...problems?... Did you even read the full page?” He was clearly shocked. How could she manage to summon him without even realizing what she was doing? Was she serious? Was she just trying to play a dumb joke? 

You clear your throat awkwardly, looking away from him and to the side in discomfort. “W-well... Not exactly...” Kyungsoo let out a laugh of disbelief, taking a step back and staring at you. “I am not a demon that “solves problems and answers questions”, girl. I am an incubus.” He was clearly amused, something about you seemed to fascinate him. Maybe the glow he was talking about?

You stared at him with a blank expression, tilting your head to the side slightly as your eyebrows furrowed. “A what now?” 

“Hah! Are you-, are you serious right now? You aren’t fucking with me, right?” He lifted his arm up, running his fingers through his incredibly soft looking hair. “Hey!” You shouted, glaring at him. “Watch your language! And don’t make fun of me, I don’t know anything about this stuff, my best friend gave me this book!”

Kyungsoo let out a loud laugh as you scolded him for his language. The lightness of the mood didn’t last long, though. His eyes darkened and he approached you quickly, backing you against the wall once more. With wide eyes, you stared up at him, not sure what was going on in the least.  He switched moods so quickly that it completely caught you off guard. 

One of his hands gripped your wrist, pulling your body against his. The other hand mischievously slid slowly up the inside of your thigh as he leaned his head down closer to your shoulder. You could feel his warm breath against the bare skin, his lips just barely touching the top of your shoulder. From the feeling of his breath, his lips, and his hand sliding dangerously close to where it didn’t belong, you felt your head spinning. Is this what an incubus was? 

“w-wait... WAIT!” You shouted, lifting your free hand and shoving it against his chest in panicked defense. Kyungsoo hissed and stumbled back, raising a hand to the spot you shoved. There was nothing there, until he lifted his shirt and saw a hand-shaped burn right on his chest. Both of you stared at the burn in shock.

“What the fuck did you do?!” He shouted at you, wincing in pain. “I-I don’t know! I don’t know! I’m so sorry!” You yelled back in a panic, wanting to help but being afraid to touch him again. “Can I get you a bandage patch? Some water to disinfect it? I’m so sorry, I panicked!” you reached out for him, but he held up his hand to stop you. His hand no longer looked human, half of his arm was black with cracks that appeared to have embers underneath, his fingers now long black claws. “Don’t touch me!” He snarled at you, a furious look in his now pitch black eyes.

You were terrified, wishing you could just shrink yourself into a tiny ball and disappear so you wouldn’t have to be near him anymore. Just then, your cell phone rang from the bathroom counter where you had left it when you took your shower. Your eyes shot towards the bathroom, and so did his. Just then, you turned and sprinted into the bathroom, slamming the door behind you and locking it as quickly as your fingers would let you. Not a second later, you felt him slam his fist against the door and let out a yell of frustration, before complete silence. Quickly, you answered your phone and raised it up to your ear, your breathing uneven and panicked.

“Y/n? Y/n are you okay?!” Kayla worried on the other side of the phone. You couldn’t hear anything in the hallway anymore, so you tried to calm your breathing. “Y/n, answer me, what’s going on? Are you okay?” You snapped out of your daze at the sound of your best friend’s concerned tone. “Y-yeah... I am okay. Sorry.” Why did you not want to tell her what happened?... Her of all people would believe you. She’d know what to do. For some reason though, you wanted to keep this experience to yourself. “Hey, uh, Kayla? I think I am coming down with a fever... I don’t think I can go out tonight. I’m sorry” you lied. 

“Oh sweetie, you don’t have to apologize. Would you like me to bring some soup over or something?” You thought about that for a while. You didn’t want to involve her in this, but you also didn’t want to be alone tonight... “Yeah, sure. Bring some Comedy movies too, okay?” you asked in an almost pleading tone. Anything to help distract you. “Of course, sweetie. I’m already on my way!”

A few weeks since the incident had passed. All of your will power was focused on forgetting about Kyungsoo and what had happened, but no matter how hard you tried, you still couldn’t get him off of your mind. You never meant to hurt him, you didn’t even know you could hurt him.  With a heavy sigh, you flopped face down into your bed, letting out a groan of dismay.

Maybe Kayla would know how this happened... but how to ask her without seeming suspicious... After a few moments of absolutely zero clarity, you decided to just make it up as you went and picked up the phone to call her. 

A few rings passed before a yet-again-concerned Kayla answered. “Hello? Y/n? Are you okay?” A confused laugh slipped past your lips. “Me? I’m fine, why?” “Because you haven’t been yourself the past few weeks, and you haven’t kept in contact like you usually do.” You could hear the suspicion already in her voice. Great. I haven’t even gotten to the question yet. 

“Oh, I’m sorry, work has been really hectic so I have just been really lethargic, I am alright, I promise!” Clearly, you were lying through your teeth, but Kayla seemed to believe you anyways, despite your terrible metaphorical poker face. 

“Alright, if you say so...”

“Hey Kayla, you know a lot about demons right?” You decided to just throw it out there. Here we go.

“Uh... Yes, I would say I know a decent amount... why?...” 

Ah, riddled with suspicion. Valid, though. “I was watching a horror movie last night and a woman pushed a demon away, and her hand burnt his skin. Do you know why that would happen?”

“...” Uh oh.

“Well! There are a few reasons!” Phew. “The first is the person could be someone holy. Like a priest!” You tried to hold back a scoff. “I don’t think the girl was a priest in this movie. What are the other reasons?” You asked coolly, trying not to seem like you were prying. 

“Hmm... Well, I suppose another reason could be that she is a Nephilim.”

“A what?”

Kayla laughed. “I forgot you don’t know about these things. A Nephilim is someone who is the spawn of an angel and a human. They are very powerful, but hated by both angels and demons.” 

You paused, furrowing your brow. “Do you think Nephilim really exist?” 

“Personally, I don’t believe they do. I know a lot about them regardless though!”

Interesting. There is absolutely no way this has anything to do with me though. “Okay, what is so different about Nephilim? How are they different from humans? Do they have powers or something?” You were doing your best to sound only a little bit interested, but your best friendly clearly wasn’t picking up on your terrible attempts at hiding something. She was just excited to talk about her hobbies, and any opportunity she had to do so, she would take without question.

“Well they are naturally born with the gift of being skilled at hand-to-hand combat.” You had never fought anyone in your entire life. “They also are really good with animals. Animals love Nephilim people.” Oh? Now that sounds familiar. “Also! it is said that angels and demons can tell what human is a Nephilim because they can see a glow around them. It is said to be a bit duller than the glow of an angel.” 

Your blood ran cold. What was it he said to you when he first saw you?... “You’re glowing.” Was that what he said? He sounded shocked when he said it...

“Helloooo? Are you theeeere?” Kayla asked in annoyance on the other end of the line. 

“Oh, yes, sorry! My dinner is done so I have to go, thank you so much for talking to me, I love you!” Before she could get out much of a reply, you hung up on her. Your heart was pounding in your chest and you didn’t know what to think. A Nephilim? That isn’t possible. Even Kayla doesn’t believe in them! 

You needed answers. Not from Kayla. She was just guessing based on what she reads in her books. Not only that... you needed to properly apologize to him. Not only did you burn him in a panic, you ran away and slammed the door in his face. In your defense though, you didn’t know what he intended to do once he was angry. 

Still... an apology was due. So, you decided to summon him again. Hopefully he will show... is he allowed to just...not show? Well, we are about to find out. But before you do that, you need to find a proper way to apologize. Maybe you could cook him dinner! ... Do demons eat human food? That’s a thing right? One of the seven sins is gluttony after all. That doesn’t really have to involve food though... 

Ugh, stop over thinking! You berated yourself. Why does he make me like this? With an embarrassed groan, you shuffled off to the kitchen. Let’s see... What do we have? You opened the drawers and cupboards. Red sauce! I have meat in the fridge, and cheese... are those Lasagna noodles? Hah! Lasagna! Everyone loves lasagna!

Quickly grabbing all of the ingredients, you put the pots onto the stove top and began to preheat the oven. You poured the sauce into one pan and placed the lasagna noodles into the other. After prepping all of the meat, vegetables and cheese you needed, you formed your lasagna in a pan before popping it into the oven.

What else should I do? Wow, this is going to be terribly embarrassing if he doesn’t show. You rubbed your hands against your cheeks, amazed by your own determination. Even worse if he does show and he hates it...

Pushing that thought aside, you ran up the stairs to grab all of the ingredients meant for summoning the Incubus again. You also brought along with you some wraps and water bottle just in case any more accidents happened. Though you hoped that they wouldn’t. 

You placed all of the candles in a circle around you once more, repeating the entire process you did in the first place to call him to you. With fingers crossed, you burned the piece of paper with your name on it and waited patiently.

“Oh...” You heard the deep voice from behind you, much quicker to respond than the first time. Oddly enough, he had a smile on his face. This caught you off guard, as you expected him to still be furious with you. “U-uhm, before you say anything, I just wanted to apologize again, I didn’t mean to burn you- I have no idea how that happened still- I panicked, see, I have never been with anyone like that before and I would rather it be with someone I love- sorry that isn’t why I called you here-” You were clearly unleashing a panicked ramble as you struggled to form what you were attempting to say to him, but his expression didn’t change. He still had a bemused grin on his face as he leaned against the frame of the kitchen doorway, staring at you.

“Anyways, what I am trying to say is I am really sorry that I hurt you and then ran away and then slammed a door in your face, that was really rude of me, so... I wanted to make it up to you! So-” Just then, the oven timer went off, Kyungsoo raising a brow and turning his gaze to it. 

“Oh! So I made you a lasagna! Well... I made us a lasagna. I was hoping we could eat it together?” You were speaking as you wandered over to the oven, putting on gloves and pulling out the dish. You were so nervous that when you tried to get a better grip, you lost it entirely, the lasagna dropping out of your hands. Before it got to far, you felt Kyungsoo’s presence directly behind you before his hand shot forward, grabbing the dish with his bare hand. You felt his chest pressing against your back as he slowly raised the dish up, setting it down on the top of the stove.

“Oh! Oh no!” You shouted and spun around, nearly face planting directly into his chest. You quickly ducked under his arm and ran to the table where you left the water and wrap before returning to him, only to see him calmly looking down at you with that same smile.

The absolute confused and lost expression on your face made him chuckle his deep chuckle. It’s kind of cute though?... Kyungsoo raised his hand up in the air, showing not even the tiniest of burns on it. “I don’t understand?...” You frowned at him.

Finally, Kyungsoo spoke. “I live in hell. It takes more than a hot pan to burn me.” He raised a brow, a nod to the incident from a couple of weeks ago, causing you to begin your apology again before he raised his hand to stop you.

“I haven’t even caught your name yet. Not very host-like from the woman who invited me into her house and then burnt me.” He teased.

You grimaced before muttered another quick “I’m sorry”, rubbing your arm in discomfort. “My name is y/n. Didn’t you get that from the burnt paper?” 

“Why would I? You burnt it.” He smirked at his own terrible dad joke.

You stared at him with a look of shock before letting out a chuckle of your own. “Wow. That was terrible.” He shrugged his shoulders, still obviously full of pride.

“A-anyways... I made us dinner, if you accept my apology... I’m really sorry.” 

“You know,” Kyungsoo leaned back against the counter. “I knew you were making me dinner, but I didn’t know it would look this amazing.” 

You furrowed your brows at him. “What do you mean you knew?” 

He flashed another beautiful smile. “You summoned me, I won’t leave that easily. Not to mention, you never dismissed you. Slamming a door in my face doesn’t count.” Ignoring your shocked expression, he continued, “I’ve been around, you just haven’t seen me.”

You stomped your foot, earning another look of amusement. “You knew I was stewing in guilt this whole time and just let me?!” You pouted. 

“I didn’t want to startle you, I wanted to wait until you wanted to see me again.”

“What if I didn’t ever want to see you again?” You folded your arms across your chest. Kyungsoo looked at you with a hint of something dark in his eyes. It made you shift back and forth in discomfort. 

“I knew you wanted to see me again. It isn’t like you hide your feelings very well.” He teased.

You rolled your eyes but let his comment go before walking over to him, his eyes following you hungrily as you did. “Can you stop looking at me like that?!” You snapped. He laughed and held up his hands, “I can’t help it, I’m sorry!” After a pause, his expression got serious, as if he was having an internal battle. He looked confused, and a little lost. You knew that look well, because you made that face all of the time.

Your eyes shifted down to his covered chest. He was wearing the same outfit as when you first saw him. “Can I... look?” You asked in a careful tone. He gave you a quiet nod and you carefully lifted up his shirt to his neck. The burn was still there, but just barely. It seemed to be healing well. Slowly, you raised your hand up to his chest, eyes glancing up at him for permission. He stared down at you with a curious half-smile, giving you a cautious nod.

First, you gently touched your fingertips to his skin and quickly looked up at him for a reaction, but there was none. Then, you carefully placed your hand fully on his chest, bewildered that this time, nothing seemed to happen. 

Well, nothing in terms of pain. Something was definitely happening. Your hand was tingling, his skin was so hot, and it seemed like he felt it too, because when your eyes met his, that dark expression returned, his jaw clenched tightly.

“Are you okay, Kyungsoo? Does it hurt again?” You pulled your hand away, but he quickly stopped you by grabbing your wrist and tugging you against him. “No, it doesn’t hurt. I don’t know what this is, but I’ve never felt this before.” His voice was shaky, and you were concerned. 

“Kyungsoo, uhm...” You didn’t know what was wrong with him, but you could tell you needed to have this conversation with him now.

His hands didn’t release you, but he looked down at you expectantly. “When we first met, you said I glow. What did you mean?” 

He only paused for a brief second. “I mean you literally glow. There is a glow around you.” 

“But... What does that mean?” 

He let let out a breath before his hands loosened their grip, letting you go. “Well, I didn’t really believe it at first, but... I think that means you are a Nephilim.” You groaned. “There is that word again.” His lips curled up into a slight smile. “That means,” He continued, “that you are part angel.” His hand lifted to your chin, tilting your head up to meet his gaze. “Which explains why you burned me when you were feeling a strong emotion.”

Your cheeks flushed light pink and you averted your eyes to look at something else. “The lasagna is getting cold...” You muttered nervously. Every time he touched you, it sent multiple feelings through your body, none of them you recognized, but all of them made you excited as well as a little frightened.

Your emotions were tangible to him, he could feel what you felt, but he wasn’t going to tell you that. He also didn’t plan on telling you that he felt the same way, and it terrified him. He had never been faced with a situation like this before. It was always the exact same story. Someone would summon him to use his body, or have him use their body. He would take as much of their life force and energy as he could before leaving them there, wondering why they felt so drained for the next few weeks.

You were different, though. You didn’t summon him for sex. You summoned him by accident. Not only did you summon him by accident, you also showed concern for him. You apologized relentlessly for hurting him, you even made him dinner. 

When was the last time anyone has made me dinner? Never. 

On top of all of that, you even brought bandages and water just in case you hurt him again. A smile spread on his lips as he watched you turn away from him to grab plates and grab some lasagna for the two of you.

But... You were a Nephilim. His grimace went unseen as you set up dinner.

What did that mean? What were these feelings he had in his chest? He felt one, and only one, small thud in his chest. He was terrified. That couldn’t be a heart, could it? Did he even have one of those? This won’t do. This can’t happen. 

As you turned around with both plates, you were met with an empty room. 

“Kyungsoo?” You called out to the demon, but received no response. You quickly walked out of the kitchen and into the living room, but nothing but empty silence. Searching the whole house, you came up empty. With your heart in your stomach, you walked back into the kitchen. Both of the plates you had set up for each other was there, but the entire pot full of the remaining lasagna was gone.

“I need that pot...” You muttered. For some reason, though you felt you shouldn’t be affected by this, his disappearance hurt you deeply. You really thought the two of you were getting along. You felt that emptiness like a rock. So you ate both plates by yourself.

For the next few days you did everything you could to get him to come back to you. You cried, you shouted, you called his name over and over as if he was Bloody Mary and somehow that would make him appear in front of you, you  yelled at him in the middle of your empty house. You even tried to summon him by performing the ritual at least three more times, but he never showed. At some point you shouted “At least bring back my pot, you thief!” as a half-ass attempt to coax him out, but still nothing.

Eventually, you gave up. You were so mad at him, but he was a demon after all. What did you expect? Serves you right. It’s time to just let it go and move on. It didn’t last very long anyways. He was here and then he wasn’t.

A  couple of months down the road, Kayla managed to convince you to go to the club with her and your mutual friends for her birthday. You continuously told her no, so this time you gave in and dressed up in the most gorgeous dress you had. It was dark royal blue and draped smoothly down your legs, stopping just above the knees. The middle of the dress wrapped around your waist nicely, the top of the dress had sleeves that draped naturally off of your shoulders, and just above your breasts. To compliment this gorgeous dress, you had matching royal blue high heels and your hair up in curls, held in place by strategically placed bobby pins.

You were determined to enjoy yourself and get your thoughts off of that wretched demon. Once the both of you arrived at the night club, Kayla immediately assigned you drink duty and went to find the rest of your friends. Making your way to the bar, you ordered the both of you the fruitiest drink they had, Berry Lemon Drops. Neither of you were a fan of the taste of straight alcohol.

You turned around with the drinks, scanning the crowd for your friends. Spotting them on the other side of the room, you made your way through the crowd, giving Kayla smile once she spotted you. 

“Hey guys! It’s been so long since I’ve seen you all!” You put on a chipper tone as you handed Kayla her drink, taking a sip of your own.

“Oh my god, y/n, where have you been?! We thought you died!” Kayla’s closest childhood friend, Remmy, teased. With a laugh, you gave her a tight hug. 

“Last time I checked, I was still alive, but hey, you never know!” 

“Hey, do you guys want to dance?” Jamal, more-so your friend than Kayla’s, asked. 

“Yeah, of course!” Your mood was starting to rise the more you were around your friends, who made you feel safe. Maybe this was what you needed all along. Jamal took your hand and lead you to the dance floor, the rest of your friends following closely behind. For the next hour, you danced your heart out, laughing and smiling with the people who meant the most to you, completely pushing Kyungsoo to the back of your mind for the first time in months.

Kyungsoo walked up to the club entrance, a calm expression on his face. It had taken him a couple of months of reflection, but he had decided what he needed to do. As long as you hadn’t dismissed him, he couldn’t move on from you. This is what he needed. He had made up his mind. The bouncer stepped in his path and held his hand out, stopping him in his tracks. “Hold on man, you have to wait in line, just like everyone else.”

Kyungsoo’s eyes narrowed at the bouncer, a black smokey-like film spreading over the entirety of his eyes. The glare was enough to give anyone nightmares. The bouncer’s eyes widened as he stumbled away, muttering a loud “What the fuck?!” Kyungsoo didn’t hesitate. He walked right past the bouncer and left him there, questioning if what he even saw was real, or if he needed a new job.

Once he entered the club, however, he froze. There you were. Finding you was much easier than he thought it was going to be in this packed club. You were in the middle of the dance floor, with another man. He couldn’t help but feel his blood boil in his veins. The radiant smile on your face as you danced around the room, as beautiful as the angel you sort of were. The glow was brighter than normal, or maybe it just looked that way against your dark blue dress. His eyes were locked on you for what felt like an hour, just taking in how happy and beautiful you looked. 

The anger in his chest turned to a dull but constant ache. He came here to talk you into dismissing him, and if that didn’t work, he told himself that he’d kill you, if that’s what it took to free himself. The past few months he had spent in hell, trying to do his job, trying to forget. Every time he was with a human that summoned him, using him for his body and dismissing him, he felt nothing. It didn’t satisfy him anymore. He barely even had the will to feed off of their energy. He thought this is what he needed, but now that you were a couple hundred feet away, it was proving to be much more difficult to go through with.

After a half an hour passed, your feet ached and you were already dehydrated. The alcohol probably didn’t help with that.

“Hey guys, I’m gonna go get some water okay?” You left Jamal’s side, waving to your friends before making your way to the bar again. Once there, you removed your heels, letting out a sigh of relief. “Excuse me! Can I have some water, please?” 

As the bartender handed you a glass of water, you felt someone step up behind you. Although you couldn’t see who it was, chills ran up your spine, and that should have given you a decent enough idea. The presence came closer and you heard a whisper in your ear, the deep calm tone you recognized all too well. 

“Who was that back there?...” Kyungsoo spoke in a controlled and calm voice. Anger filled your body and your cheeks turned bright red. How dare he have the nerve? You turned around and raise your hand, ready to slap him across the face full force, but he caught your wrist way too quickly.

“You don’t want to do that, people are around.” He spoke quietly, making sure you wouldn’t try to slap him again before he released your wrist. “Answer me. Who is he?” 

“None of your fucking business.” You snapped at him, angrier than you’d been in years. “How dare you ghost me and then show up months later, asking who I’m dancing with? You have some fucking nerve!” 

Your eyes were brimming with tears that you struggled to hold back, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of seeing how much he affected you.

“Watch your language” He teased, a smirk on his face.

The look of shock on your face was unimaginable. You were thinking of trying to slap him again before you heard a voice from behind you.

“Is this man bothering you, miss?” It was the bartender, checking up on you to make sure you were okay. You turned around and gave him a weak smile. “No, no. It’s okay, I apologize for yelliing.” 

The bartender dismissed you with a nod before turning to attend to the other customers. Kyungsoo’s hands gently pressed to your sides, slowly sliding down to your waist before his fingers dug in, a bit possessively. He was trying to keep his control, but the way you looked tonight was making it incredibly difficult. 

“Can we go outside to talk about this? It’s more private.” 

You stared at him, eyes narrowed in a glare. After a moment of consideration, you turned and walked to the back exit into the alley without saying another word to him.

As he followed you out, he couldn’t help but watch the way your hips swayed as you angrily stormed out the door. Damn. How come everything you did had this affect on him? Once he followed you out and the door closed behind him, he was met with a sharp slap to the cheek, causing him to let out a shout of pain. Your high emotions burnt him again, but this one was less serious than the last, he could tell you tried to control it.

“How could you just leave me like that?! And you stole my pot too?! You ignored me every time I tried to call you back and talk to you, how could you-”

Kyungsoo approached you at an alarming rate, his hands reaching up and slamming you against the brick wall of the building. You let out a groan of pain and looked up. His fuming eyes met yours, expression unreadable. He seemed angry, but there was something more to it. How could he be mad at you? He was the one who abandoned you! 

“Do you have any idea how much you’ve fucked me up?” He hissed quietly to you, throwing you off guard.

“W-...what?”

“I’m a demon, y/n. I am not supposed to feel this way, but I can’t stop thinking about you. You have been on my mind the entire time I’ve been gone. I have been coming to terms with what’s happening to me, and I came here to end it, in any way I can.”

Your eyes widened, filled with fear. Guilt panged in his chest, another worrisome sign that maybe he does actually have a heart.

“But... I’m not going to do that. I can’t do anything to hurt you.”

“Like... because I haven’t dismissed you?” 

He snorted. “No, I could kill you in an instant, regardless of if you’ve dismissed me or not.” After a moment, his expression softened a bit. “But I don’t want to.”

You remained silent, afraid to interrupt. Kyungsoo Took her cheeks into his hands. He was coming to terms with how he felt, and to his surprise, he didn’t hate it anymore. The feeling he was feeling was... good. He didn’t know how to describe it. He didn’t know what love was, but it felt like a very strong word to use, and he wasn’t sure if that was appropriate. 

“I don’t want you to be afraid of me... I’m sorry if I scare you. I promise I won’t hurt you. His burning hot thumbs strokes your cheeks, his brown eyes staring down into yours. “You are the only human-, no, the only being, that has ever showed care for me. Me, one of the most vile creatures to exist. I’m not sure if that makes you a saint, or an idiot, but...” 

“Kyungsoo...” You tried to cut in, but he wouldn’t have it. 

“Let me finish.” He sighed. “Regardless, it has affected me. I’ve felt something change in me, and it is your fault. You’ve ruined me, y/n.” His voice darkened, but this time you weren’t scared. You believed him when he said he wouldn’t harm you.

“But Kyungsoo...” You tried again.

“Y/n, please” He urged, his thumb running softly against your lower lip. “Let me finish.” You shifted against the wall, looking up at him impatiently. 

“If you want me to leave, I’ll leave you alone forever. I’ll deal with what you’ve done to me on my own. It’s my fault, after all.” He closed his eyes, his head tilted back as he took a shaky breath in, trying to stay in control. “But I don’t want to. I want to be selfish, and I want to stay here. I want to explore every inch of you. I-”

“Kyungsoo!” You shouted at him this time, desperate to get his attention.

“Oh for- what? What is it?” He asked in exasperation. 

Your voice was quiet, slightly embarrassed, “I’m barefoot and this pavement is really, really cold... I think my feet are going to fall off” you whined, shifting from foot to foot against the brick wall.

Kyungsoo stared down at you, slack-jawed. A loud laugh escaped his lips. “You really now how to kill a vibe, don’t you?” He joked.

“It’s not my fault, my feet hurt! I’ve been dancing in high heels!” You pouted, glaring up at him.

“That reminds me... You never answered my question.” This time he tried to keep the jealousy out of his voice, asking as calmly as possible. “Who was that guy you were dancing with? Please, I want to know.”

You gave him a half-smile, raising a brow at him. “This is what, the third or fourth time you’ve asked? His name is Jamal, and he is my best friend from middle school. He’s married.”

Kyungsoo’s relief was almost tangible. “Oh, that’s... That’s nice. I hope I get to meet your friends some time. If you let me.” He prodded, trying to bring the conversation back to where it originally was.

“Soo, my feet... Can we go inside? They still hurt...” You frowned up at him.

Did she just call him Soo? Did she just give him a nickname? 

Kyungsoo wrapped his arms around your waist, lifting you off of the ground and wrapping your legs around his waist before pinning you back against the wall. You let out a shocked squeak but before you could say anything, Kyungsoo continued. “I’m done using words.”

Just as you were about to ask what he meant, he leaned in and pressed his lips against yours. He was rough, but not too rough. His lips were incredibly soft, and just as kissable as they looked. You felt your heart explode in your chest, your hands gripping his shoulders roughly to ground yourself. You must have accidentally burnt him again, because he groaned against your lips, but he didn’t stop.

Giving in to what your heart clearly wanted, you shut your eyes and kissed him in return, your lips seeming to move perfectly against his. Everything he was trying to tell you, you could feel in his kiss. It was enough to make you cry, but you held it back, because that would be awkward in this situation.

Kyungsoo’s hands mischievously slipped under your dress. His fingers traveled up your thigh, setting your skin ablaze. Just then, you felt something press against you between your legs, and you pulled out of the kiss, looking at him in shock. 

“Don’t look at me like that, I literally can’t control it, I’m an incubus.” He defended, “Besides, I can tell you enjoy it too.”

You furrowed your brows, looking up at him. “How would you know?”

He soft lips curled up into a devilish smirk before he pinned you between the wall and his hips. “Because I can feel it. Have you forgotten you’re only wearing a dress?” 

“...” Suddenly you realized your position. Kyungsoo had you pinned against a brick wall in an alleyway, your legs around his waist and your dress hiked up to your stomach. You were practically exposed right out in the open, and you could tell he was into it based on the shit-eating grin on his face.

“Oh my god, Kyungsoo, people could see! Put me down!!” You yelled, frantic.

“I’m definitely not god, but you can call me that if you want to.” As he spoke, he leaned down and pressed his lips to your exposed shoulder, trailing slow, burning kisses all the way up your neck and to your jawline. With every kiss, you felt his fingers grip your hips tighter, practically grinding you against him.

Although you were freezing cold just minutes ago, your whole body felt uncomfortably hot now, it was almost unbearable, but it kind of felt... good. 

“Kyungsoo, please, we can’t do something like this here!” You spoke with urgency, but your fingers betrayed you as you balled his shirt up in your fists, only egging him on more. 

Kyungsoo let out an impatient hiss, his fingers traveling up your thigh to your underwear before hooking under them, ripping them off of your body. “Then you better get in there and tell your friends you have to go. Now.” His words were breathy and you could tell he was having a hard time holding back.

Although the only piece of fabric keeping you from him was gone now, he used all of his willpower to refrain from being what he was, to give him just a bit more patience, and he set you down on the ground. 

You quickly brushed your hands along your dress to smooth it out and then, attempting to look prideful, turned around and walked back into the club with confidence. Kyungsoo only laughed in amusement behind you.

“Y/n! Where were you?!” Kayla demanded the moment she saw you make your way through the crowd. “We’ve been looking for you half an hour!” 

“What?” You looked at her with a confused expression. “I haven’t been gone that long. You’re over reacting!” 

“I am not over reacting. You went to go get water like, forty minutes ago! We looked everywhere!” 

Before you could try to explain yourself Kayla glanced down to your shoulders, raising a brow at the barely visible red spots on them. As soon as her eyes raised up to meet yours, they stopped half way and retrained directly behind you. You already knew what that meant, and your cheeks flushed bright pink without you even having to turn around.

“Y/n,” Kyungsoo cooed, indicating that he was about to embarrass you in front of your friends, “is this your friend I’ve heard so much about? Why don’t you introduce me?” His arm snaked around your waist, casually pulling you back against his chest.

You held back a groan of exasperation, looking at Kayla with pleading eyes. She didn’t pick up on your look, though. She was too busy staring in awe at the man beside you. “Who is this?”

Defeated, you tried to secretly bat his hands off of your waist as you spoke. “Kayla, this is Kyungsoo, I, uh...” Racing your brain from an excuse was proving fruitless. 

“We’ve known each other since middle school!” He continued smoothly. “I moved away afterwards. I just got back in town yesterday!” With an incredibly charming smile, he shook your best friend’s hand. 

Kayla was still awed by him, though she wasn’t aware that he was hamming it up. “It’s so cool to meet you, Kyungsoo! How did you know she would be here?”

“Oh, I didn’t! This is actually completely coincidence!” He smiled. “I’m so excited to see her again. I’d love to get to know her friends, too, but would you mind if I took her for the rest of the night? It has been years since I’ve last seen her.”

“Oh, of course! I understand, go have fun!” She smiled at the two of you. “And Y/n, you owe me a birthday gift!” 

You smiled and waved to Kayla as Kyungsoo practically dragged you out of the club.

The moment you stepped out the door, everything went black and you felt as thought wind was swirling around you. A second later, there you were, back in your apartment. Before you could even process what just happened, Kyungsoo grabbed your hand and tried to lead you up the stairs. 

“Wait a minute, are we just... going to pretend like that didn’t happen?” You looked up at him, astounded as your voice brimmed with confusion.

“Hm?” Kyungsoo barely acknowledged your remark. “I’m a demon, I can go wherever I want. Cool, huh?”

“W-, how did you bring me with you though?! You can just... do that?!”

Kyungsoo’s patience was slipping and he stopped pulling you along, opting to lift you up against his body, walking over to the kitchen before sitting you on the cold counter. “Yes, I can just “do that”.” 

Kyungsoo reached his hand forward to rest on your cheek, his thumb brushing gently along your soft lips. The sensation tickled, making you reflexively run your tongue along them. This definitely caught his attention and he looked into your eyes with what would have been an intimidating expression, if you weren’t aware of how soft he could be.

“You really are something...” He hesitated, but only for a moment. Quickly he leaned down, placing tender kisses against your neck, his hands sliding down to your hips to pull you against his body.

Even now you found yourself still caught off guard by how warm his skin was. He was like your own personal furnace. It seemed like Kyungsoo had a way to fill all of your senses and thoughts with nothing but him.

Was this okay to do?... 

He seemed so genuine, but he was still a demon... An incubus, at that, and you wanted your first time to be with someone who not only you loved, but also loved you in return.

You felt Kyungsoo’s lips trail kisses from your neck slowly to your throat. The feeling was so pleasant, you couldn’t help but naturally tilt your head back for him, and he left no area unkissed. They felt so full of passion... Was that your imagination?

“Soo, wait...” You pressed a palm to his chest, gently pushing him back a little.

“What’s wrong, baby?” He asked in a breathy tone. Baby? 

“I’m... a virgin... and I’m kind of scared...” Admitting this to an incubus seemed ridiculous, but you felt oddly at ease with him. “I want to do this with someone I love,” you looked up into in eyes, “and someone who loves me in return.”

He raised his brows, a look of concern on his face. “Y/n... I would never do anything you don’t want me to. Never.” He raised his hand to your hair, gently running his fingers through it to comfort you. 

“That’s what I was trying to tell you earlier. I think...” He cleared his throat, looking to you pleadingly, as if wishing you could just read his mind to make this easier on him. “I know I don’t know what love is. My very nature should mean that I am incapable of feeling it, but... what I feel for you... it isn’t just lust. There is something else there.”

Your eyes went wide as Kyungsoo tried to stumble out a confession, doing his very best to make you see how he feels.

“I want to protect you. I want to see you smile all of the time, and I want it to be for me. I know that sounds selfish,” he took both of your cheeks in his hands, placing fairy-light kisses on your forehead, cheekbones and nose. Anywhere he could reach. “but I couldn’t even do my job properly in the months I disappeared. I didn’t enjoy it in the least. All I thought about was you.”

“Kyungsoo...” Tears welled up in your eyes. You had gotten confessions before, but this one was different. This time, you felt the same way. Or at least, you were pretty sure you did. You couldn’t get him off of your mind during those months either. This was all happening so quickly, but you felt self with him.

“I think, I love you...” The moment the words passed his lips, he winced in pain.

“Kyungsoo?? Are you okay??” You reached out to grab his face, making him look at you. 

“I’m fine, I’m fine... I just... there is this ache in my chest lately... it doesn’t feel right... but I don’t want to talk about that.”

Dismissing the subject with a concerning amount of ease, Kyungsoo leaned forward and encompassed your lips in his. His kiss put all of his feelings on display, way better than his words could. He was intense, but gentle, full of passion and tenderness. He was holding back, you could tell. 

You finally let go of all of your worries and surrendered yourself to him, leaning in to his kiss. Your hand lifted up and tangled it’s fingers in his hair as you tugged him closer. 

You felt him groan against your lips, his fingers digging into your lips and you felt him growing hard against your stomach. “Y/n, I need you to give me permission... If this is what you want, tell me you want it...”

His eyes searched yours, a mixture of hunger and hesitation behind them.

You felt your heart begin to race in your chest. The way his voice deepened sent tingles throughout your body. Too shocked to speak, you nodded your head at him, averting your gaze to the floor.

“Tsk tsk...” Kyungsoo reached up, gripping your face in his hand and forcing you to face him. “I need you to use your words for me, angel. Tell me... you want it.”

Your heart was pounding now and you could feel yourself already getting wet. He hadn’t even touched you yet, you can’t let him know he got to you that easily. His ego was big enough as it is.

Forcing yourself to maintain eye contact, though every fiber in your telling you to avoid it, you spoke in a quiet voice. “I-I want it...” 

His hand that gently gripped your face moved, leaning you back as his free hand slid under your dress between your parted thighs, his body keeping them from closing. 

He reached two fingers down between your legs, giving you a look of surprise when he discovered how wet you were for him. He just barely slid his fingers up, ghosting over your clit. Unable to hold back a breathy moan, you locked eyes with him, painfully aware off the cocky smirk on his face.

Raising his fingers up to his lips, he slowly slid his middle finger between them, enjoying the way he could make you squirm without needing to do anything.

He removed his hand from your face and leaned in, placing a kiss on your exposed collar bone. “I didn’t hear that, angel. Tell me what you want.”

“Kyungsoo,” You whined as he teased and embarrassed you, losing your composure completely, “I want you to fuck me! Please!”

You heard him hum with satisfaction and before you could react, he wrapped his arms around you and lifted you around the waist, holding you against his body as he carried you to the kitchen table, laying you back onto it with a mischievous grin.

“What-... what are you doing?” Confusion flooded your brain as you tried to sit up, but his hand only pushed you back down again.

“I like dessert before dinner.” 

“W-...What does that even-” 

Within seconds his hands were on your thighs, spreading them open as he leaned down. 

“You can tell me to stop any time, and I will. Okay?”

You nodded before remembering how he chastised you for not using your words earlier, “O-okay...” 

He flashed a genuine smile before breaking eye contact to place a kiss on your inner thigh, followed by a soft nip. You let out a squeak, which earned a laugh in response.

Kyungsoo placed slow kisses up your thigh, almost tormentingly so, until he finally reached the place you wanted him most. Immediately he wrapped his lips around your clit, sliding his two middle fingers into you. He was careful, allowing you to adjust or tell him if it hurt.

The way he flattened his tongue and focused on the little bundle of nerves was excruciating, only enhanced by his fingers curling up against your walls, pressing against your g-spot as if he already knew where it was.

“O-oh, my god, Kyungsoo!” You moaned out as you tilted your head back, tangling your fingers in his soft dark hair to pull him closer.

“How does that feel, baby?” Kyungsoo growled, mercilessly curling his fingers up against your g-spot, his thumb rubbing circles against your clit.

“It feels- amazing! Don’t stop, please don’t stop!” 

“mm~” Satisfied, he replaced his thumb with his lips once more, his now free hand grabbing your hip and tugging you farther down the table, giving him better access to your dripping pussy.

You let out a whimper, breathing heavily between your groans of pleasure. A ball of heat began to build in your stomach, one you’d never felt this intensely before. Trying to chase your release, you lifted your hips off of the table, grinding against his tongue desperately.

Your eagerness was driving him crazy and he growled against you, the pace he slid his fingers into you quickened as he gently sucked on your clit, finally sending you over the edge.

“Oh, fuck! Kyungsoo, I’m- I’m cumming!”

Kyungsoo groaned against you, not letting up as he helped you chase your release. Your toes curled and you but down on your lower lip, almost hard enough to draw blood. Letting out a loud and desperate gasp, a wave of pleasure crashed over you and your eyes closed, making you see stars.

As you began to come down from your high, Kyungsoo pulled you off the table and into his arms placing gentle kisses all over your chest and face.

You gave a weak chuckle, hiding your face in his neck. 

“That was... amazing” you praised between attempts to catch your breath.

“Mmn,” He ran his tongue along his lips, licking your release off of them. “You taste amazing, baby.”

His arms held you tight as he carried you up to the bedroom, laying you gently down onto the bed. Before going any farther, he looked down into your eyes.

“Are you still up for this, y/n? Remember, you can tell me no. We can just be together and watch movies, if that’s what you want.”

Kyungsoo had been so considerate ever since he came to see you in the club, you almost forgot that he was a demon. It certainly didn’t match, but if he was going to do something bad, you figured he would have done it by now.

“I am sure.” You reached up, cupping his cheek with her hand. “Please... I want it to be you.”

He smiled the sweetest smile you had seen from him yet, before leaning down, gently nipping your earlobe before whispering, “Good, because I’ve been wanting to get you out of this dress from the moment I saw you in it.”

Pulling back, he grabbed the bottom off the dress, pulling it over your head and tossing it to the side.

He inhaled sharply, his eyes slowly trailing over every inch of your body.

“You’re so beautiful...” 

“Kyungsoo, come on-”

“I mean it.” He cut you off, leaning down and gently taking one of your breasts into his mouth, his hand massaging the other. A light moan escaped your lips, your back arching closer to him.

“Please, I want it.”

Kyungsoo paused, leaning back just slightly to meet your eyes. 

“What was that, baby?”

You whined at the way he insisted on teasing you. 

“I want you to fuck me! Now!”

“...” Without saying another word, he quickly began to unbutton his shirt, throwing it off to the side before reaching down to unbutton his slacks. You looked up at him through your eyelashes, batting them teasingly at him. 

“You are absolutely going to regret that.” He pulled his pants down slightly, along with his underwear. 

Up until this point, you had no idea what you had gotten yourself into. Now, however, it was painfully clear. As he pulled his pants down, you got to see the size of him for the first time. He was huge. Would that even fit? Oh god. Is it too late to say a prayer?

“Come here.” He commanded, and you felt obliged to immediately obey. Pushing yourself up off of your back, you made your way over to him at the edge of the bed.

“Open your mouth, angel.” 

Though you could feel your cheeks heating up like a furnace, you did as you were told, and he placed a hand on the back of your head, the other guiding himself past your lips.

The moment you took him in, he gathered your hair into his hand and slowly pushed you down on him, inch by inch. He only stopped when he felt you gag on him.

“You okay?” You looked up at him, obviously unable to speak, you nodded instead.

“Good. I’m not all the way in yet.” He pushed himself to the back of your throat until he bottomed out, letting out a hiss of pleasure as he held your head there.

“Fuck...”

After a moment, he slowly slid out of your throat enough for you to take a breath through your nose, right before forcing his way all the way back in. You looked up at him through your eyelashes again, watching his expression as you hallowed out your cheeks around him.

“Oh, fuck!” He cursed, burying himself all the way back into your throat again before looking down at you.

Your eyes were watering as you tried to take him the way he liked it, wanting to make him feel just as good as he made you feel.

“That’s a pretty look on you.” His hand tugged your head back, allowing you one more breath before he started to fuck your throat at his own pace. The way you hallowed your cheeks around him elicited a few deep, needy groans.

With every gag you made, the harder you felt him get. Just when you thought you were going to pass out from lack of oxygen, he pulled out of your mouth with a pleased sigh.

“I can’t wait anymore.” Kyungsoo wrapped his arms around your waist and laid you back down on the bed. Still trying to catch your breath, you collapsed into the sheets. Just then, you realized how exposed you were to him. Feeling embarrassed, you closed your legs, hiding your face with your hands.

“Oh no you don’t,” Kyungsoo muttered, spreading your legs open wide by moving his body in between them. He reached up and grabbed your hands gently in his, moving them away from your face.

“Sorry, I am just a little self conscious...” You pouted, a blush on your cheeks.

He scoffed before reassuring you, “You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.” and looking down at your body. You felt so exposed under his gaze.

He reached down and pulled out a condom from the crumpled mess that was his pants, but you grabbed his hand to stop him.

He looked down at you with concern, expecting you to say you changed your mind and you weren’t ready. He was just about to move away, before you spoke up.

“Uhm... This sounds weird but... Can we not use the condom?”

Kyungsoo’s eyes widened, a little apprehensive, but also a little excited. “You don’t want to use it?... Why not?”

“It’s just...” you groaned, not wanting to explain that it was something you were into. There were a lot of things you were into that you weren’t ready to tell him about, but maybe one wouldn’t hurt.

“I’ve always thought about doing this, without a condom...” You hoped he wouldn’t ask you to explain any farther, and luckily, he didn’t need you to. A smirk spread across his devilish lips. He planned to take advantage of this.

“Oh?” He gripped your hips and tugged you closer to him on the bed, his hand positioning himself just perfectly before he slowly, slowly pushed the head of his dick into you. Even with your pussy dripping from arousal as well as your own cum, he still had to grab your thighs to help him push into you.

He groaned and cursed under his breath again before locking eyes with you. “Is this what turns you on, baby? You like when I’m in you bare like this?”

The only reply you could manage was a moan, that sounded more like a whimper.

Unsatisfied with this, Kyungsoo gripped your legs and raised them up over his shoulders once again. “Brace yourself baby.”

You nodded and prepared yourself. He was the first man you’d ever been with, and you’d always heard the first time hurt.

You were taken by surprise when Kyungsoo gripped your hips and forced his full length deep inside you, sending shocks of nothing but pleasure through your whole body and forcing a loud moan past your lips.

“W-why doesn’t it hurt?” You asked him, deeply confused.

“I am an incubus, nothing I do is meant to hurt you, unless you want it to.” Leaving it at that, he slid almost all the way out of you before slamming back inside, hitting your cervix. 

You let out another yell of pure bliss, reaching up and gripping your nails into his arms since they were all you could reach.

Kyungsoo reacted by letting out a low growl, pulling out and roughly slamming back in. As he began to pick up the pace, he made sure to hit your cervix every time, a little reminder that he wasn’t wearing protection.

Immediately you felt overwhelmed, but not enough for it to be unpleasant. This isn’t what you imagined your first time to be like at all... it was so, so much better. As you clasped your hand over your mouth to try to keep the embarrassing noises to a minimum, Kyungsoo changed positions, practically folding you as he leaned down. 

One of his hands pulled yours away from your mouth while the other reached down, his fingers rubbing circles on your clit as he buried himself all the way in you, staying there for a moment.

“Don’t cover your mouth. I want to hear you scream.”

As if by command, you felt an unexpected orgasm already building. Was he really about to force you to get off from nothing but his fingers?

Yes. You felt your second orgasm rip through your body, causing you to scream Kyungsoo’s name as your nails dug into his back. The way your walls squeezed around his dick with every pulse made him let out an audible moan. 

You expected him to let him once you came, but he didn’t. He looked down at you as his fingers roughly circled your clit, the over stimulation feeling like a blinding heat.

“S-S-oo stop! wait! I ca-an’t!” You tried to stutter out, but he chose to ignore you for just a bit longer. Watching you unravel underneath him was driving him crazy, he couldn’t get enough of those beautiful moans.

“What did I say, baby? Fucking scream for me.” His hips suddenly began slamming back into you again, angling himself up to fuck himself into your g-spot as he viciously circled your poor overstimulated clit. It almost hurt, but in the best possible way. 

“fuck! Kyungsoo, fuck, don’t stop!” You cried out, lifting your hips to meet his with every single thrust. 

Kyungsoo’s thrusts began to lose rhythm, his free hand digging it’s nails into your hip to try and ground himself. He was losing himself in your pleasure, unable to help but feed off of it.

“Baby, I’m going to cum... fuck!” he hissed out as you clenched around him again.

“Come inside me” You groaned, lost in your own pleasure and wanting to share it with him.

His eyes widened as he looked down at you but didn’t slow down even a little bit. “Are you sure?” His thrusts as well as his breathing becoming shallow.

“Please, Soo, please cum inside me!” You cooed, about to lose yourself in your third orgasm, your head getting foggy.

Letting out a growl, Kyungsoo took hold of your hips and fucked you with an aggression you hadn’t seen in him before. He tilted his head back and let out a loud string of lewd curses before forcing himself all the way inside of you, his dick throbbing as he began to fill you with cum, more spilling into you with every pulse.

You cried out in ecstasy, your third orgasm approached rapidly as he released inside you, making your toes curl and your back arch. Kyungsoo stayed inside of you, not ready to pull out just yet. With a few absent minded and shallow thrusts back into you, he leaned down and kissed your forehead.

“You did so well, baby.”

You were absolutely exhausted. All you wanted to do was sleep. With the last of your strength, you reached up and wrapped your arms around him, bringing him down into your arms and peppering his face with loving kisses.

Kyungsoo chuckled and pulled you against his chest, pressing his lips to yours. In that moment, laying there naked, holding each other in each other’s arms, he realized what love was. He knew that he loved you.

Just then, pain shot through his entire body and he let out a shout of surprise.

“Kyungsoo! Are you okay?! What’s wrong?” You panicked, sitting up and looking at him for any obvious injuries.

The searing pain only grew in his body and he shot up in bed, looking over to you desperately, begging for help that he didn’t think you could give.

“Soo?!” You shuffled closer to him and pulled him into your arms, bringing his head to your chest and holding him as close as you could. You didn’t know what to do, but you hope that if you did have any angel in you, it would help him instead of hurt him here.

Kyungsoo reached up, his hands digging into the skin of your back as his demon form seemed to be taking over again. You’d only seen a glimpse of it, but from what you did see, it was terrifying. But you weren’t going to run away from him this time. You couldn’t possibly leave him alone in pain like this.

He let out another cry as he gripped onto you, drawing blood that you ignored. With a flinch, you brought him closer, whispering reassurance into his ear.

“It’s going to be okay, Soo. You’re okay, I’m here.” Your fingers brushed through his hair slowly, and you heard him growl. Huge horns that you hadn’t seen before sprouted out from his skull, twisting in odd directions as he held onto you.

You lifted Kyungsoo’s chin up with your fingers, making him look at you. His eyes were pure black, and he appeared to be crying in pain. his teeth were clenched and his nails continued to dig into your back.

You placed gentle kisses on his cheeks, forehead and nose, just like he had done to you earlier. “It’s okay, Soo. I won’t leave you again.”

He hid his face in your shoulder, nearly stabbing you with those damn horns. You rested your head on top of his, whispering any loving thing you could think of to him. 

All of the places you’ve always wanted to go, all of the things that made you happy, all of the pretty things in the world that most people didn’t give a second glance to. Anything to distract him from his pain.

“I love you, Kyungsoo.” You finally said it, and you meant it. You wanted to wait until you meant it.

Kyungsoo froze, moving his head from your shoulder to look up at you. “What?...”

“I said, I love you, Kyungsoo. I love you.” You repeated, laughing. The situation wasn’t humorous in any form of the word, but it was all you could do.

Only a moment passed before Kyungsoo let out another shout, hiding his face in your shoulder again. Your arms curled around him once more, but not long after, you felt something your your arm.

Shocked, you opened your eyes and looked down, seeing a horn laying on the ground from where it bounced off of your arm. You looked up just in time to see the other horn fall off along with it, and you were absolutely confused.

“Kyungsoo?... Are you okay?...” 

He didn’t answer, but you could see his skin and nails fading back to normal, right before he slumped against you in exhausted.

You carefully laid him down back onto the bed with his head in your lap and just ran your fingers through his hair, occasionally brushing them along his skin comfortingly. When he finally opened his eyes and looked up at you, he looked like he just fought a war. He looked exhausted, like all he wanted to do was sleep.

“Soo... What just happened? Tell me you’re okay” You brushed his hair from his forehead, looking down at him.

He took a few moments before rolling over so that his face was in your stomach, groaning like a child who didn’t want to wake up. You let out a laugh and roughly pinched his cheek. 

“Hey! Don’t ignore me!”

“Ow, hey!” He whined, making you sigh with relief. 

“I’m sorry, I don’t know, I-... Everything just hurt so badly out of nowhere, and then I blacked out...” He closed his eyes and you pulled the blanket over him.

“Well... I saw your full demon form, and your horns fell off... and then you passed out.”

“My... what? My horns fell off?” He sat up way quicker than you thought him capable of in that moment. His hands lifted up to touch where his horns would have been. Finding nothing, he let his arms fall back to his sides, looking dazed.

“Soo?... What does that mean?”

“Well... It means... I’m not a demon anymore?” his tone sounded as though he wasn’t even sure if it was real.

“What? You aren’t? Does that make you, like... human?”

“I think so... here, stab me with a nail” he pulled a nail out of the wall where a painting used to be, handing it to you.

“St- you want me to stab you? Are you insane? Absolutely not!” You pushed his hand away, glaring at him.

“Well, alright.” Kyungsoo took the nail and pushed it to his arm, immediately drawing blood. “ow!” He hissed.

You quickly retrieved a band-aid out of the night stand, putting medicine on it and placing it over his arm. “That was a terrible way to find out!”

“but it worked” he chuckled, easing your worry a bit. “Well... Now what do I do? I’ve never really... been in this position before”

The poor guy looked so lost. So you wrapped him up in your arms and laid back down with him again, this time under the covers. 

“Well, I think we both deserve a long, long night of rest, and then we can figure that out in the morning.” You smiled and leaned forward, kissing him softly.

Kyungsoo smiled against your lips, his arms wrapping around your waist as he brought you back against his chest. “That sounds like a great plan. I like that.”

“I love you, Kyungsoo.” You muttered, already on the verge of falling asleep.

Kyungsoo stared at your face as you drifted to sleep, never thinking anything could be so beautiful. He found a reason to be something different than what he was. Something better. Something that made him better. There was no way he was going to lose you. Not after everything you’d been through in such a short few months. From now on, he’d commit all of his time to treating you like the angel you truly were.

“I love you too, y/n.”

Survey #306

i’m v talkative today so pardon my jabbering below.

What is the strangest type of candy you have eaten? I think I've had one of those lollipops with a bug in it before as a kid? I don't remember. What would be your most ideal profession? A freelance photographer. But I'm honestly starting to lose hope. Have you tried those coloring books for adults? Yeah; it's funny you mention 'em, 'cuz a family friend got me one for my birthday earlier this month. What is a topic you definitely don't want to talk about with anyone? I don't like talking about my sexual history, doesn't matter who you are. It's just uncomfortable. What was your first gaming console? An Atari. Is there something you're eagerly waiting for? What is it? *SLAMS FISTS ON TABLE* MAY NEEDS TO FUCKIN' HURRY. My tattoo appointment is set then. :''') Do you/have you ever belonged to an organization? If so, which one? I was a Girl Scout when I was young. What is something you're very passionate about? Nature conservation, gay rights (equal rights in general, really), the pro-choice movement, and then there are less "important" things like certain hobbies interests and such. I'm sure there are more big ones that are just slipping my mind right now, considering I feel passionately for a shitload of stuff. What are you studying or what was the last thing you studied? I majored in Art & Design with a focus on Photography in college. But guess who dropped out. What was the last present you gave someone? I don't know... I mention enough that I don't have a source of income where I can really buy anything. I think the last thing I did was a Christmas gift for Mom a year or two back of a drawing I did of our late dog Cali, whom she absolutely adored. Do you enjoy plays? If so, what was the latest one you saw? Not really, no. What was the last thing you achieved? PHP has helped me focus on little victories, so prepare for an underwhelming answer haha, but it's something. I Facebook messaged an old friend I really wanted to catch up with, and everyone in group cheered for me. :') It was really heartwarming. What a shocker that this program is really helping me once again. What is something you would like to achieve at some point in your life? I would love love love to take at least one "famous" or award-winning photograph. It'd be such amazing validation that I'm talented at something I love so much. What is one philosophy you have regarding life/living/purpose? That's... difficult to answer seeing as I'm trying desperately to find my purpose. I do try to live by this old quote a therapist said once: "Deal with life, or life deals with you." I think it holds an incredible amount of depth and meaning in such a short phrase. How would you design the inside of your own home? I don't know the details of it, really, besides that shit is gonna look like a Halloween house year-round. I can imagine wanting black furniture, too, and having loooots of decor expressive of what I love and find comfort in. Gotta make a house feel like a home just for me. What is a band you remember liking from your childhood? Backstreet Boys, duh. Do you ever get mad at people for not having the same opinion as you (i.e. abortion being wrong/right, meat-eating being wrong/right)? Two things: it depends on the topic, and "get mad" is the wrong term for what I feel. It's more disgust; ex., I'm repulsed by anti-gay rights people and want absolutely nothing to do with 'em, but I'm not like, mad at them. Do you edit any of your pictures? In what ways? Oh yeah, and it definitely depends on the raw photograph. I edit depending on the mood it emanates; like if you've seen my roadkill photography versus nature shots, there is an extremely distinct difference in editing style and vibe. I'd say in general though, I tend to like to brighten my photographs and add more vibrance. If you like to take pictures, what is your motivation? God, I could write an essay on this. I just love and am so thankful for the fact we can literally freeze time forever with the click of a button and look back on fantastic sights, beautiful moments, memories... It's just magical to me, and I adore contributing to that art. Would you ever consider living anywhere cold? Well yeah, that's my preference, actually. What is your absolute favorite food? The spicy shrimp fritas from Olive Garden, jfc. Would you ever wear snake-skin pants, or other animal clothing? Fuck to the absolute hell no. What foreign country would you like to go to for a shopping spree? Idk, considering I'm not well-versed in the artistic creations of other countries. Perhaps India? Japan? I dunno. If you met your favorite musician, what would you ask him/her? I'm asking for his fucking autograph and a hug while I smile my face in two AND cry lmao. What do you spend most of your day thinking about? I ain't gonna bullshit nobody, my PTSD. In some way or another, he's lurking in that head of mine through memories, flashbacks, wonders of what could have gone differently... but thank God it's no longer in the forefront of my mind after my first PHP. I've come very, very far, but especially when trying to blank out my mind to fall asleep, parts of PTSD strangle my brain until I'm just finally out. I really hope that changes someday. Where is a busy place you would like to go to? Yikes, nowhere, really. I like to avoid busy locations. Do you think video games cause people to become violent? Absolutely not. You are responsible for the decisions you make; music, games, movies, etc. have no deciding voice in stupid shit you do, and it's bullshit that people blame art and entertainment for such things. Vocabulary: What was the last word you learned? I'm unsure. Have you or could you build your own site? Absolutely not from scratch. The closest I've gotten to that is my photography website, but it was through the assistance of Wix. What's the best thing you can cook yourself? Scrambled eggs, haha. I do make some bomb eggs at least. Are there a lot of graffiti around your neighborhood? No. Do you have a hobby that forces you out of the house? If so, what is it? Nature photography. Would you stop eating meat, if you had to raise and slaughter it yourself? Absolutely. God, I want to go vegetarian again... Besides English, what other languages can you speak? I can speak a very little bit of German. Took four semesters of it in high school and became very good at it, but lack of practice has pretty much ruined that. Besides English, what other languages can you read? I can read German well; as in, I can pronounce most words I see, but that doesn't mean I understand what is written. Do you think you could make it as a chef? Gordon Ramsey would deadass kick me off his show on day one, lmao. What's your favorite kind of tea? It marvels me JUST how many tea and coffee questions are in surveys. Anyway, I don't like tea. I am an embarrassment to NC culture. What thing/person/happening has made you the happiest you've been? lask;dfjal;wekrjwe What's the most freeing thing you've ever done? Stealing my happiness back from someone who had no right to hold it all in its entirety. That shit's mine. Do you think today's kids are really impatient? Most, probably, but in some ways I can understand it - at least, in the sense that with the assistance of modern technology and advancements in satiating our wants so quickly, kids just expect it. I definitely believe that patience is something to try to be deeply instilled in everyone, though. I don't have an ounce of it (in most situations) and wish I did. Have you ever tasted birch sap? No. How about the young buds/shoots of spruce trees? No. Which edible flowers have you tasted? One of my favorite Southern experiences is finding a bunch of honeysuckles and tasting the honey (is it technically even honey??). Tastes amazing. My family's hairdresser lives down a beautiful path that sprouts a massive amount of them, and as kids, my sisters and her two boys would go tasting them while our parents talked for so long, or if we were waiting our turn. Good memories. What has been your worst restaurant experience? I'm not sure, really. What's the most immature, adolescent thing that still makes you laugh? "Inappropriate humor type jokes." <<<< They can get me sometimes, too. Have you ever had a life-threatening condition? If so, what was it? No, thankfully. Have you ever had a custom print done on a shirt? If so, what was it? I don't believe so, no. Besides making a tye-dye one in HS with our school colors. Wasn't my idea and never wore it, haha. Do you ever read other people's survey answers? It depends on the person. If it's a friend, absolutely, because I love learning usually obscure things about them I wouldn't have known otherwise. If it's a user I don't know from wherever I got the survey, sometimes, depending on how short the answer is and my eyes kinda just scroll over it. Do you like daytime or night time better? Why? Daytime, especially mornings. I'm generally happier when there's light around. What's your highest level of education so far? Some college. Describe your ordinary day: My average day is embarrassingly uneventful. It's sitting on the laptop doing shit on various sites, none of which are actually important, and playing WoW, which is also without true substance, save for social interactions with my friends on there. I spray Venus' terrarium everyday multiple times as well to keep the humidity up, and obviously eat and handle that kinda bodily needs stuff. Would you ever have a UV tattoo? Ugh, that'd be so dope. I've seen some awesome ones, but idk if I'd get one, considering when am I actually going to be under UV light?? Like I wanna be able to see my tat. What is the brand and color name of your favorite lipstick? I have one black lipstick, but it comes right off so I don't even like it. I only ever put it on to take pictures. What do you like on your tortilla? Just ham and cheese. How about inside your pita bread? I've never had pita bread, actually. What do you like in your burger? It depends on where I'm getting the burger. My basic is cheese, ketchup, mustard, a bit of mayo, pickles, and a light sprinkle of diced onion, but sometimes I add bacon and take away the onions. How about on your pizza? I have three I tend to pick from: pepperoni, jalapeno, or meat lovers. Do you work better alone or in a group? Alone, definitely. Which body part would you not mind losing? I'ma be extremely honest, with just how horribly weak my legs are, I could live without them, I guess. Not saying I want to by any means, it's just exhausting using them. Ideally, I'd take away something minor, like a finger or something. What common saying people use is absolute BS to you? “'Everything happens for a reason.'” <<<< Fuckin' colossal "same." I won't rag on people who believe it, especially if it gives you courage to keep moving forward, but I don't believe it in the slightest. If it were so, I'd like to talk to whoever is in control of those "reasons," please. What is the most interesting thing you’ve read or seen this week? I had no idea elephants were pregnant for two years, like holy shit, can you imagine. It was in an article I saw on Facebook about a mother and daughter elephant who are both expecting and doing well. Wonderful to hear. What’s the most useless talent you have? Ha, I'm a master in the arts of catastrophizing and jumping to conclusions involving people hating me in one way or another. What’s something everyone looks stupid doing? I'm one of those people who hate dabbing done by anybody, like you look like you're just smelling your armpit. Which kids’ movie scarred you for life? I wouldn't say "scarred me for life" by any means, but when I was little, I was terrified of the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz and even had nightmares about her. It sucked because my little sister was obsessed with that movie, haha. In one sentence, how would you sum up the Internet? A source of incredible knowledge but also hate and misinformation. What would be the most ridiculous thing for the government to make illegal? I literally dread the idea of Roe vs. Wade being reversed. Banning abortion would kill so many people with operational uteruses and cause absolute pandemonium. How many friends do you have on social media and how many of them do you know for real? On Facebook, I have 124 friends, and I'd say I know most of them "in real life." However, having been on the Internet since I was so young and befriending loads of incredible people, a good chunk are "online friends." Hell, I'm more interested in their lives than most "real" ones. Long-distance friendships are so valid. What fact amazes you every time you think of it? Lots of things, generally regarding the stupidity of humanity. What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done? Probably going to the beach w/ my old friend Colleen. We had zero plans of doing it, but she just called me one morning and asked if I wanted to go, and off we went. It was a fun day. What has taken up too much of your life? I'ma be real, WoW. I don't think I'm addicted to it like I once was seeing as I go through spans where I barely want to play it at all and don't, so I truly am capable of not playing it, but rather it's just the most entertaining way to kill time in my life. I just don't like how much time I've invested into a game over six or seven years regardless. Where do you not mind waiting? Uh, nowhere lmao. Is there an app you hate to use, but still use every day? No; why would I use it if that was the case? Who is the funniest person you know? My friend Girt is fucking hysterical. What three words describe you best? Complex, passionate, and creative. What makes you think you’re smart? Lol who says I think I'm smart? Who inspires you? Korean Jesus. Okay on a serious note, not just him, of course, but he's #1 in an entire universe of ways. Do you aspire to be like somebody else? If so, who? No; I want to be my own authentic self. How did you meet your best friend? YouTube, back when it had more social aspects. Which one of your accomplishments are you the most proud of? I want to say my recovery, but like... I wonder a lot if it's "enough" to be proud of with how scarred I still am? I still struggle with a lot and feel like I could be so much better by now if I tried harder. If I'm completely honest with myself, I think it's finishing high school in the top percentile of my graduating class. There was a ceremony for the handful of us and all, and I cherish my plaque probably too much. Reminds me of a time when I knew what the fuck I was doing. What's the strangest thing you ever did as a child? Thinking I had "animal powers" where I could invoke the traits of certain animals at will, like what the actual fuck, Brittany. What did your mother teach you? Christ, a lot. Dad didn't do a lot of the raising, honestly, so much of my core values and whatnot were instilled by my mother. She taught me to care for and be nice to others, respect myself, try my best in everything, and most importantly that she is always there for me and my sisters no matter what and can tell her absolutely anything. She was very serious about us going to college and saving sex for marriage when we were younger, but she diverged from those ideas as absolutely necessary with experience. I'm extremely lucky with who I call my mom, overall. What did your father teach you? Eek... Read above. Not a lot as a kid (save for riding a bike and playing softball); most he's taught me has come following reuniting with him after my parents' divorce. I remember we went to lunch once and talked about my breakup, and he talked to me about sometimes, you just have to let people go in order to be happy, like with him and Mom. He's very serious now about ensuring us girls know that he is always there for us and will help us in any way he's capable. What makes you feel powerful? "Powerful" isn't something I really feel, if I'm being real. What are you ready to let go? It would be inexplicably fantastic if I could let every speck of Jason go in both my head and heart. What is your most bizarre deal-breaker? I don't really find any of my expectations and limits as "bizarre?" They're all valid to me. Well wait, idk if you'd find it strange that I absofuckinglutely would not date someone who hunts, but it's not to me. That's a difference in a very serious value to me. Would you rather be hated or forgotten? Hated. God, I don't want to leave this earth having given just nothing. I can live with some people hating me for whatever reason. What’s the biggest personal change you’ve made? Accepting my bisexuality, probably. That's something that I consider pretty big for two reasons: 1.) I could end up with a woman forever, and especially 2.) I was originally homophobic. I still have difficulty in fathoming how I ever was. What are some of your short-term goals? PHP is finally starting to make me build these again. I want to get better at selfcare, draw, write, and read more, I want to drink a lot more water, exercise way more... Lots of things, really. What is the weirdest thing about you? Uh. I dunno. Probably that I RP meerkats, which is a very obscure RP niche for sure.

The week in review:

Raw 12/14 NXT 12/16 NXT UK 12/17 Smackdown 12/18 TLC 12/20 + Main Event 12/17

Raw:

“This Sunday at tlc, it’s gonna be you and me against Nia and Shayna,” Lana says to Asuka, as a quiet ‘woo’ can be heard in the distance.

Lana facing her fears and fighting Nia Jax makes her the bravest person Asuka knows. Rolling. Fucking Asuka. ASUKA. wwe, stop.

Why isn’t Asuka accompanying Lana to the ring?

I like Lana’s gear.

Joe just compared Lana to a mosquito, goodbye.

Oh snap look how fast Lana did that headscissors takedown. We’re witnessing her progression, ladies and gents.

You know, I knew Lana would win this match, I knew exactly how she would win this match, but jfc what a treat watching it myself. 

Nia’s face lmfao.

Shayna wrecking Asuka so she can’t save Lana from her inevitable fate. Still curious on whether or not this beatdown injured her, if she was injured going into the match, or if it was all really just a storyline.

Yikes this is sad.

Man that leg drop onto Lana’s ankle actually looked kinda wicked, ngl.

*distant woo intensifies*

Wow we got real tears from Lana. Points.

Becky and Charlotte have been gone, Alexa hasn’t been on tv, the Raw women’s championship has become a meaningless prop... what a dead period for this roster.

Hi why is this match happening?

I will never not be impressed by Dana’s entrance.

Is Mandy actually hurt? Why did they take her off tv for so long? Is Shayna the resident kayfabe shelver? “Hey this girl is actually injured, have her written off by Shayna” ?? Cuz I know they’re not splitting Dana and Mandy up, and Dana has been on tv every week since Mandy left. Must be genuine.

These 2 are running roughshod over the entire division at this point.

OH SHIT MANDY’S BACK WITH A KENDO STICK

Lmfao the babyfaces are fucking done with Nia and Shayna. Honestly that’s great, I love it when babyfaces band together to stand up to dominant duos. This has been going on long enough. They took out Mandy, took out Lana, were about to take out Dana. Totally fair.

Highlight: Lana getting a clean win over Nia & being taken out so my queen can return

---

NXT:

It’s a funny thing with Toni and Rhea. Toni says she’s the reason Rhea came to nxt, but she’s also the reason I became such a huge fan of Rhea’s. Heard they were having some big TakeOver match and everyone was always praising Toni. So I checked into Blackpool solely to see what the Toni Storm fuss was about, and I left that ppv solely impressed by Rhea Ripley. Then I took particular notice of Rhea in the Royal Rumble a few weeks later, and I’ve been watching NXT UK for her ever since (til she moved). To see her growth has been tremendous, and she’s so young. Such a bright future.

The music to this is great.

Toni says she isn’t scared of Rhea, as if Rhea’s mere theme music didn’t scare the absolute shit out of Toni the week prior lol.

Toni’s not even a terrible promo, but the timing of her blinks could not be worse. Yes, it matters.

I can’t stop laughing at how fucking intensely Shotzi started this interview.

She does pissed off interviews well. I can feel her annoyance.

Really don’t want to see a Candice/Shotzi feud tbh but okay, I’ll try.

aaand there’s the howl. Awful.

Lmfao Rhea called Toni a piece of trash. This is gonna be interesting to see with the alignments reversed.

I don’t remember who won this match, but I’m betting it was Toni. Which is fair tbh. Rhea is probably on the “put some peeps over before moving up to the main roster” path that everyone in the women’s division walks on. They always eat at least one monumental, or a couple meaningful, loss(es).

Oh man that is fucked up. To not only be forced to continue punching/kicking a human (fun fact: the person on the offense takes quite the damage doing so) but to have the defenseless victim bleed out and beg for you to stop. That’s rough.

This was shot really well. That music holy shit, I’m creeped out. It’s like a horror movie.

I see the point. Numbs him to pain and breaks his will, while numbing her to mercy. Ruthless stuff.

Oh are we finally done with Indi’s neck brace? Cool.

I can’t believe wwe invested in this upgraded tank. I still don’t think it’d work on the MR, but points to the boss for shelling out the cash.

Wtf was that stumble and “fall” by Indi lmao.

If Candice was a real bully, she’d distract Shotzi by fucking with her tank at ringside.

Indi does need a mentor, she’s a hell of a lot greener than my mutuals have made it sound. oof.

Shotzi looks like she has no idea how to work with Indi, and Indi looks gassed, confused, and slow as hell.

All Indi knows it going from spot to spot while Shotzi waits around for her to get there.

Lol Indi failed at getting a dirty win. I don’t really care if this is a part of her The Way storyline, what a mess.

The only redeeming part of this piss poor segment was Theory shaking the troll’s head at Shotzi.

I’ll give wwe an extra $9.99 if they let this match have a clean ending.

“[Rhea] was at one point the biggest superstar in the world,” that isn’t even close to being true because Becky Lynch exists, but I’ll let it slide and pretend you said “in nxt”.

Their paths will be so similar to Becky and Charlotte in the future.

Wow what a sequence. That would’ve received an applause on the MR. Traded headlocks for restholds, threw around their strength, then went into a battle of pinfall reversals. Instead of following that with some stalemate, they didn’t take a breath and proceeded to dance with each other and showcase some chemistry before rolling back into a battle of pinfall reversals. The sequence started with a kick by Toni to Rhea’s midsection, and it ends with a kick by Rhea to Toni’s midsection. Peep that match production, good stuff.

My, my, those slaps to Toni’s back. Whew.

Yeah actually it’s really fucking cool that these 2 get to main event nxt together, come to think of it.

They sell well for each other.

Rhea has the best dropkicks, lesbireal.

Holy shit Toni’s headbutts make my own head hurt. God I wish she wouldn’t. Most people put their hands between the heads so no contact can be made, but Toni’s just like “lol fuck it”

This is a great match. This duo works a lot better with these specific alignments. Watching face Toni try to chop down Rhea is not as good as heel Toni being impossibly hard for Rhea to put away.

Women’s matches and never having a clean ending. Name a more iconic duo. Winter of overbooked women’s matches continues.

Like I had guessed Toni was gonna win anyway, but fucking come on.

*Bonus* online exclusive: Toni says playing by the rules got her diddly and squat, but like... she was a champion lol. “It ain’t even Toni time right now, it’s party time.” Alright.

Highlight: Rhea vs Toni minus the ending

---

NXT UK:

I don’t know why we’re getting Isla Dawn vs KLR but anytime I get to see KLR fight, I’m here for it.

Hell even Isla’s song never kicks it out of first gear. Song has so much potential but it never goes to the next level.

Ahhhh my Scottish queen is here.

No, don’t compare Sasha’s basement meteora to the double knees Isla did. That was pitiful.

Anyway, KLR vs any of the 4hw would be fantastic, take my money. Sasha, Bayley, Charlotte, or the woman KLR wanted to face at TO Dublin, Dublin native Becky Lynch.

That back body drop is horrendous as a finisher. It’s like when Becky won her debut match the exploder suplex. Awful lmao. Imagine if KLR lost to a back body drop ffs.

You don’t get to be this frustrated for not being able to beat the champion when you’ve only been fighting for like 3 mins.

Isla’s pisspoor speed going in the corner, and her pisspoor roll off of KLR’s tornado ddt. Shame.

Such a clean transition from a failed pinfall attempt into a submission by KLR, whew.

This whole match was just a flex by KLR lmao.

There was a time where we had Becky Lynch, Bayley, Rhea Ripley and KLR as our champions. Wow, take me back plz.

The background music of this stupid recording is so unnecessarily dramatic, wow.

All for the delivery of a chair. Of a fucking chair. Piper... shut up and handle your shit.

For someone so much larger than the little man, Piper is insanely unintimidating.

Highlight: I got to see KLR wrestle

---

Smackdown:

Bayley does run her mouth a lot. She’s kind of the EST at saying dumb shit that gets her into trouble lmao.

Bianca is so friggin good at interviews and in backstage segments. She hasn’t received much of a chance to do promos in the ring, let alone obviously to a live crowd, but I hope she shines there, too.

Has Liv reverted back to being a dumb blonde, or is it drugs? Stop letting her speak.

Love Riott Squad’s everchanging gear. Wonder who makes it for them.

Billie Kay claims that she’s a ‘seasoned’ ring announcer, and somehow that would not surprise me.

Tamina “get the fuck out of my face until I get a nap and a vat of coffee” Snuka, everyone.

Lmfaooo Tamina fucking chucked Liv across the damn ring. What a good job by Liv.

Ruby is exceptional at running the ropes. She gets a good spring off of it.

Tamina’s hair is always so beautiful, she gets points there.

Dropkick into a faceplant. Billie Kay gets pinned rofl. She’s so bad at wrestling and yet here I am ridiculously entertained.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with Carmella’s current persona, but man I wish she’d come out in a cut off tank top, camo pants, high tops and a printed hat.

I mean people are at home cuz covid, but go off.

Aye putting over Sasha. Good heel Mella.

Sasha has held the title for like a whopping 2 months and we’re already marking calendars. Sad.

In kf, Sasha is kind of mentally weak, so I’ll give Mella that. I’m not sure what it’s gonna take to shake that perception, either.

“Who is Sasha Banks if she’s not the Boss? Who is Sasha Banks if she’s not the best? It’s sad because that’s a question that not even Sasha Banks knows the answer too.” So I get that wwe are trying to help Sasha develop and fight off her past demons, but man these women are ripping her a new one. Sasha’s only 29 so she can grow and develop however she wants, but jeeze. Salt, meet the dagger Bayley stuck in Sasha’s back.

I like Mella cuz she knows how to hype her opponent’s accolades and strengths while cutting an immaculate heel promo where she hits them RIGHT where it hurts. She’s a pro. Heels should take notes.

This music is like the Jazz Vibes playlist I always listen to.

She just called Sasha cheap and frantic lmaoooo

Oh damn Sasha be out here looking like MONEY. That girl has style, even if it doesn’t always hit with me, she got style.

oof the crack of that slap to Reggie.

OOF the crack of the bottle shattering over Sasha’s poor back. rip.

Match at TLC should’ve been a champagne match. That entails whatever your mind comes up with; pouring alcohol on your opponent, dumping their head in a bucket of ice, breaking bottles over spines. It don’t matter.

“You don’t see me going around here bragging about how damn good I am,” lmao WHAT. Bayley is equal parts delusional and obnoxiously annoying.

One size heel does not fit all, but I think her version suits her beautifully.

If I were her I’d pick your brain too, but I’d also want a match, cuz people leave matches with you looking as good as humanly possible. Equal parts selfless as well.

She didn’t lie, this was absolutely her putting Bianca on the map on the main roster.

wwe: wants to strap a rocket to Bianca and make her a star. Also fucking wwe: “lol no we’re not gonna show you her full entrance, cry more scrub.” 

Bayley still looks weird without a title.

Bayley mocks Bianca’s entrance and then gets swept onto the apron lmao. Idiot.

Bianca is a lot of flash and showboating, which is great from an entertainment standpoint, but she needs to do a little... less.

Fantastic snap of the hand against the led board. Bayley wrecking Bianca’s arm gonna hinder the flips.

“I’m the ER. I’m BET-TER. haha.” lmao Bayley is such a fucking dork. Got sent into the ring steps for her bravado. Love that there’s always immediate repercussions for Bayley’s arrogance.

Bayley turned midway going down onto Bianca’s knee for that backbreaker, there. Hope she doesn’t have a massive bruise. Looked like it’d leave a massive bruise.

3 things I’ll apparently never get to see again: Bianca’s hair whip, Bianca’s full entrance, and Bianca’s 450 splash. I’m tired.

These stupid fucking squats while Bianca is dangling off the top rope rofl I swear Bayley is something else. Girl knows how to entertain. “Bayley got a bit cute and Bianca made her pay,” story of Bayley’s life.

Beautiful spinebuster by Bianca. At least SOMEONE in the women’s division will use it.

Bit of a miscommunication there it seems. Bayley goes for a B2B, Bianca tries to block it, Bayley drops down to dodge and go for a cradle. She rolls Bianca all the way back, stands up and hesitates before running at Bianca with an elbow - even though Bianca is not in position to receive it - which Bianca counters by rolling Bayley up, but it was super obvious Bianca was just scouting the next spot. Bianca goes to pick her up for a powerbomb but Bayley has to kick out twice to prevent herself from being pinned while Bianca tries to lift her. That entire sequence was super messy.

Then Bianca nearly drops her lifting her all the way up lol. Yikes. Gotta be pretty fluent to pull that off. Not to plug my fav (but I’m totally gonna plug my fav); it’s a move Charlotte does in almost every match against Asuka or Becky, and you gotta be not only built to pull it off, but you need to have impeccable timing to make the transition look smooth. Extra points if you lift them off the mat RIGHT before a 3 (which Charlotte usually does)

Anyway, good match with a messy last 2 sequences. Bayley did what Bayley does best.

Highlight: Bayley vs Bianca

---

TLC:

They really took Eva Marie and Sasha Banks’ characters and meshed them together while keeping Carmella’s obsession for animal print lol.

Really don’t like that gear. That’s a miss, Mikaze.

Beautiful arm drag. Sasha taking the idea of wrestling like a Lucha more seriously? Cuz she should, ain’t nobody else in the MR doing it.

Commentators say the trash talk is continuing, I say Sasha is quietly leading this match with a grimace. Peeped that “hit me”.

Carmella goes to suicide dive through the ropes just for Reggie to catch her, cept she got caught up and started turning in midair. Would’ve hit her neck and shoulder HARD had he not been there. Great catch indeed.

Sasha “rip my back” Banks.

Not to be douchey, but if you have to adjust your gear in the middle of a match and it’s not just to fill time or be used as character work, then you need to redesign your gear.

Sasha’s a great babyface once that bell rings man. I wish she could carry that energy everywhere.

Holy fuck that facebuster. SPIKED her head, oh my god. I have never seen anyone make a facebuster look so impactful. Points if intentional.

Oh the timing of Sasha blocking that superkick from legit connecting. God she’s good.

You know how I know this is a good match? I’m watching some of these near pinfalls and submissions knowing damn well Sasha’s gonna win, yet my anxiety is still spiking thinking Carmella might walk out with the title. I KNOW she doesn’t though lmao. Good sequences, believable offense, great near pinfalls. They work well together (I’m not surprised, Mella and Sasha both work well with almost anyone)

What a fantastic transition into the bank statement. Points.

That match should’ve ended by dq the second Reggie pulled Mella out. 

Sasha could’ve sold that double superkick pinfall attempt a little bit more.

Carmella having a breakdown. What does that mean? That means she’s about to lose this match lmao. There it is, not even 10 seconds later hahaha.

Sasha sells pain so damn well. Good for her. Good defense of her title. Points to Sasha, she’s phenomenal every time she has an actual match. Post-match and she’s already annoyed me though lol. Ugh. Maybe she’ll get it soon enough.

Nice “replay” wwe. Billion dollar company btw.

Billie, drawing a horizontal line is not how you write ‘clairvoyant’. 

“proficient in Japanese” aw Asuka was so excited for a split second lmao.

Oh no, she made a mask to match Asuka’s with a paper plate. Oh no no no. Travesty. 

Ugh I’m so excited. I’ve already seen this and yet I’m excited. Here we are, the whole damn reason I started catching up on everything I basically refused to watch since June 22.

SHE LOOKS LIKE MONEY, WHEW. The queen IS back. She’s so fucking beautiful man.

Love how annoyed Nia looks. This is your comeuppance tbh. Could’ve just faced a measly Lana, but no, you had to play too much.

Really Charlotte shouldn’t be in the tag division, and really she shouldn’t give half of a fuck about Asuka, but we’ll get to that more in the future since this is already nearly 2 months old.

Nia’s doing a great job selling Charlotte’s return, and she’s not even active in the match rn. She does good work.

Bad camera angle on Asuka hitting the ring post.

Asuka getting wrecked lol.

I really despise that the Raw women’s championship was tied up in all of these storylines that have nothing to do with the Raw women’s championship. The Lana crap, the Charlotte crap, the tag teaming in general crap.

In hindsight, I now find it curious that Ric Flair was in the back for this match. Very curious. I swear, if the past 2 real time months weren’t a part of some master plan the Flairs came up with together, I will be SHOCKED.

Charlotte’s fucking crazy for doing those moonsaults to the outside though, for real. I know she was a gymnast and an exceptional cheerleader, but MAN you could not pay me to do fucking blind back flips that high up. Crazy.

She should’ve given us a spear in this match. I wanna go rewatch her work just to see some spears.

Good match. They needed to not focus on destroying Asuka for as long as they did, pacing was off for a little bit there.

Love how Charlotte sticks her tongue out when she bridges up into the figure 8. She’s such an asshole lmao.

If I could’ve changed one thing about that finish, I would’ve had Charlotte bounce off the ropes before hitting Natural Selection. Other than that, it was great.

Charlotte looks good with a title, idk *shrug*

The way Charlotte looked over at Asuka though. I really don’t trust her in hindsight lol.

Like how this Firefly Funhouse is setting the spotlight on Alexa before Bray takes his leave of absence, only wish she hadn’t missed 2-3 wks of tv.

What a fun way of running a video package.

Inferno matches are insane and I’m not sure why anyone would participate in such.

Think it’s smart they’re both leaving their jackets on tbh.

Alright that was cool. The way Fiend called up the flames was fucking cool. It looks amazing aesthetically. They could’ve never done the set quite like this if there had been fans.

WE HAVE STRAPS?! IS FIRE NOT ENOUGH?!? Man. Randy is a fucking trooper.

Guys. Guys excuse me, that strap is on fire, can... can we not, please??

Man is swinging a god damn pick axe at Randy Orton, I--

I hope that wasn’t actually flammable liquid cuz otherwise Randy is now soaked in it, and that’s insanely dangerous. Oh that’s great editing. So it was flammable, but Randy was out of the chair before the fire rushed at him. Also covered the chair in blood. That was cool.

Orton just pull the damn string out of the jacket real quick lol.

Caught Orton’s attempt at an rko with a mandable claw. Points.

Can someone... put him out? Editing trick? Were the flames real? Am I real??

Shouldn’t the bell ring? Match is over, right??

The dummy was kind of obvious ngl. Not to sound like an asshole, but they should’ve made it a bit thicker and more solid lol. Doesn’t really take me out of it though, cuz even though I’m sure it was a stunt double that got lit on fire by the ramp, someone was on fucking fire, and that’s intimidating in itself.

Also the dummy is melting. I’d say they should’ve used pig meat, but I’m sure vegans and animal rights activists would’ve had a field day writing to Snickers about that.

Was a good match, for what it was. I was entertained.

---

*BONUS*

Main Event:

“Nasty Nikki” lol okay.

“The only reason people even know you exist is because you were Alexa Bliss’ best friend,” ouch. Truth is pain.

Ahahahah Lacey has hand sanitizer again. 

Love that submission Lacey jumped into through the ropes, plus an eye rake. Fantastic.

That’s curious. Lacey and Peyton are arguing over the hand sanitizer as Lacey wants to squirt it on Nikki, while Peyton is claiming it’ll get her DQd. Now I’m on Peyton’s side in the sense that it should absolutely be illegal, but Lacey’s done it in a match against Nikki before, sooo ???

I like how Nikki fell trying to get back into the ring before the 10 count. Adds credibility.

Haha Nikki gets the pinfall over Lacey because Peyton was being a nuisance on the outside. Lacey big mad. That’s great.

---

*Smackdown easily shined the brightest in what was a great week of wrestling. Utilized 8 women in 3 different storylines, couldn’t possibly complain about that.
