#Redacted Sam

[sweetfangs-eternalcharm]

Opinions on the Talbott pack?

They make for good allies and nice trump cards in the back pocket. Milo's a lot more closer to them than any of us, but they're kind of like... extended family in a way?

[mythallia]

sam met darlin’, and 15 years of celibacy went down the drain.

Asher loves shifting. If you were to ask him what his three favorite things were, it would be his Baaaaaaabe, shifting, and wings/pizza (the third is actually the pack, he says the wings/pizza combinations right there with them though)

When Asher shifts he feels like he's finally able to shake off the restriction of being human. He can run as fast as he wants (outside at least...baaabe was upset last time he got zoomies in the apartment)

When he gets excited its almost like he's a puppy who hasn't grown into its paws yet. He wiggles, he rubs up against people in the pack, he gnaws on Baaabe and a few other people, he tries to hit other shifters heads with his paws, he runs into David and Milo all the time, he and Christian will vocalize together (like when actual wolves chatter and whine at eachother?), sometimes Ash will actually just make a noise that sounds like screaming, he carries the pack kids, he teaches the younger wolves in the pack how to wrestle sagely, and he lays on top of anyone close that will stay still long enough for him to. (Sam and Darlin are his favorite targets, Christian and Milo are close seconds)

Ashers wolf is also very large, and as Beta of the pack, he has the authority to make that size power. There are very few times he's needed to, though. One of the only times the other pack members have seen him like that was shortly after Darlin' came back to the pack. He and Tank had gone on a run together, on their way back, a set of vampires sent by Quinn tried to attack them. The vampires didn't last long, barely able to get a hit on either of them. Tank did take a hit though. They always do when there's a fight. What wasn't expected was how Asher reacted to them taking said hit. He had no hesitation ripping the head off of the leech trying to hurt his family, and he didn't move from his protective stance in front of them even after they shifted back. Going as far as to wrap himself around them while they waited for their mates and David to arrive, nuzzling into their uninjured side licking and nibbling at them in an attempt to sooth the pain since healing magic still isn't his strongsuit. The injuries weren't bad, just a few cuts and a solid bruise spreading up their right side, but still enough that he got scared. He only moved when his Baaabe and David made him so that Sam could have access to heal Darlin. That was what permanently cemented in everyone's mind that Asher was truly the best choice for pack Beta.

Asher let's younger members of the pack climb and ride on him when he's in both forms. When he's in wolf form and a pack meetings running late, he'll curl up near the main table and let the youngsters sleep on him. Plus, he's still close enough that he can listen to the discussion going on and give an occasional huff/snort to agree/disagree with David or whoever else is speaking

Ashers favorite thing to do is shift and lay with his mate. He loves when he can sprawl out and they just lay against him. He tucks their head under his chin and curls his legs and tail around them. Sometimes, he'll just lay between their legs with his head on their stomach or chest. His tail thumping so hard it's reverberating through the bed, or the floor, or their couch, whatever surface they're on you'll probably be able to hear the telltale thumping of a happy wolf's tail

Milo and Darlin' when they all meet up for dinner in the hotel lobby 1 1/2 hours late after breaking their mate's back.

Reservations be dammed, but they still all got dressed up. Ties are a little crooked and someone whore the wrong colors socks.

[plaqying]

*screams something inaudible about samuel collins being strangely similar to pearl from starlight express and runs away*

Shawpack Smash Remix Ramble (SSRR)

Holyshit Vincent and Lovely, welcome to the family - I love how they were included this year, also the fact that Vincent is just so polite the entire time was adorable, give it a few more sessions he'll be an asshole talking shit too-- specially if you put him with Asher.

Let's all respect Milo for providing the snacks, he took pride in those.

Hats off to Asher for continuing to be the best gameshow host but ngl i was shook he made a spread sheet, didn't think he'd know how to operate excel, im prolly projecting tho

Not David being surprised at how Asher got shit into his house when his ass is literally married to someone w/ the same golden retriever like personality?! I live for Asher and Angel banter and i need more of it.

BAABE GLASSES WEARER?!?!?!👀👀

I love how the three of them always fight over their age while literally only being months apart (Rolewise David fits as the oldest but that's too obvious, my bet is Asher is out of the three of em and David's the youngest.)

The silence aka the mate's trash talking eachother is peak comedy as always

Sam winning and David losing wasn't something i saw pls, My bet was on Vincent turning them to Ash (Heh--)

Conclusion: Loved it, Loved them, will always do, thank you for coming to my ted talk

[yourfavjay]

Asher and Babe trying out new baking recipes more specifically cookie recipes to use all the cookie cutters they have even having playful competitions to see who can be the most creative.

Milo and Sweetheart bringing Aggro a cat safe treat and cuddling up with him on the couch while they start a new show, of course they all fell asleep.

David and Angel taking the day off to organize their garden and take care of all their plant babies, Angel loves talking to the plants especially the flowers they planted for David’s mom.

Sam and Darlin watching the new fancy espresso machine they bought together work away so they can drink their morning coffee together, they have all the syrups and stuff too. (sweet tooth Darlin my fav)

[sweetfangs-eternalcharm]

6'3?! Jesus what a tree you are

It's not that tall, that's like 5'10 in the basketball world.

[mythallia]

how vampires respond when they get asked “what happens to your body when you die?”

[kitheking]

sam telling vincent that he can hear the pack members fucking on vacation is SO FUNNY

sam calling vincent at 3am like “you’ll never believe what david is doing to his mate next door” 😭😭

[puffin-smoke]

favourite quote from the new smash tournament:

"I got cookies, I got brownies, I got chocolate I got caramel, I got sweets, I got sours, I got chips, I got dip, I got salsa, I got a veggie platter, what are you hungry for?"

"Milo. I'm a vampire."

"FUCK."

[kyndahot]

When Quinn witnesses Darlin fight in their wolf form, all he sees is a beast. A ferocious monster, big and intimidating and powerful. One at his beck and call, no less. He lets them lick their own wounds when the fight is over. If they did well enough, maybe he’ll offer them a quick pat on the haunches before leaving them be in their own blood and sweat. They don’t know a lick of healing magic, let alone anyone in their circle at the time that might help them. Darlin walks around with large bruises and bandages strung lazily across their body. Not for lack of trying— they’re just so sore, so tired that it takes effort to reach the places that need covering. Their poor eating habits and lack of sleep make the healing process especially slow.

When Sam witnesses Darlin fight in their wolf form he sees a scared animal. Cornered, wild eyes darting around— as if looking for a way out. Lip curled with low posture. They fight like they’ve been backed into a corner even in the most open of spaces. Once they shift back, he’s all over them in seconds. Checking for wounds, healing said wounds, tight hugs and deep breaths. Affirming to them that they’re ok, he’s ok. More than anything he’s reassuring himself. The wounds he can’t heal he wraps and treats with the supplies he has until he’s recuperated enough to continue healing them. He’ll bring them food in bed, much to their chagrin.

“I can get up myself! You don’t have to bring it to me I’m fine.”

“You’ll pop a stitch if you move around too soon. Quit your whinin’, you big baby.”

When they’re alone, Darlin will shift and lay in Sam’s lap sleeping soundly. He’ll run his hands through their fur and get caught tracing the large scars where fur refuses to grow back. Soft and gentle as if they’re still fresh, still tender. He 's caught in a trance staring at nothing while doing so until a rhythmic thumping breaks him from it.

Still asleep, it’s Darlin’s wagging tail.

[porcelaininkpot]

Too many people overlook how California is a coastal state WHICH MEANS DAHLIA IS RIGHT BY THE OCEAN

WHERE ARE THE SURFER ASHER HEADCANNONS??? AS A MATTER OF FACT WHERE ARE THE SURFER PACK HEADCANNONS?????

WHERE ARE THE BEACH FICS WHERE VINCENT GOES CLIFF DIVING BECAUSE YOU KNOW HE WOULD

AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE DAMN CREW HEADING DOWN FOR A BEACH DAY AND DEAR PUSHING BACK THE TIDE SO CAELUM CAN COLLECT SEASHELLS

AND WHILE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BEACH THERES ALSO BIOLUMINESCENT BEACHES. BECAUSE I SAID SO.

AND THE VAMPS CAMP OUT AT THE SHORE IN HEAVILY TINTED CARS WATCHING THE SUNSET BEFORE THEY CAN GO ON NIGHT WALKS AND KICK UP STARS IN THE SAND.

[chimckenns]

“Hey Darlin’.”

“Mmm… you look stunnin’”

“Boop”

“You’re just a softie under all this, I know you very well, Darlin’.”

“Come here, let me hold you.”

“[Kiss] One for the road.”

“Oh Darlin’…”

“You don’t have to be alone anymore, I’m here.”

“I’ll always be here for you, whether you like it or not.”

“Let me take care of you. Please.”

“I know you’re strong, but you don’t have to be in front of me, Darlin’.”

“Fuck…the things you do to me…”

“Oh no, I’m not letting you. Keep your hands to yourself. Let me do all the work.”

“Soft skin… [kiss] soft lips. You’re heaven on earth, Darlin’.”

“Spread those legs. I need to see this work of art.”

“Let me see how you ride it.”

“Come here. Yeah, come. You never need to ask to sit next to me, Darlin’, you know that.”

“Lay your head on my chest. Just like that.”

“You mean everything to me.”

“You unlocked something within me. Something that I thought I’d never feel. But I do. For you. I love you. [kiss] So much.”

“[Chuckles] I could get used to this. You, kissing me awake every morning. You’re so cute. Oh hush, yes you are. Don’t think I don’t see that blush on your face, Darlin’ come back here. [laughs]”

“Don’t you go calling me cowboy. If anything that’s what you are after the way you were riding me last- [laughs]”

“You’re beautiful, Darlin’. Every inch of you.”

Disclaimer: These are all made up :) they’re not in the videos
