George Clarkey x Fem!Reader

___________________________________________________________

He is always bragging about you. He thinks you’re such a kind-hearted, hard-working person and isn’t afraid to tell the entire world.

“Yeah, my missus is studying law. Oh, she’s incredible."

He is not afraid for anyone to know how whipped he is for you.

We know how up-to-date and interested he is in what his sister studied/es, so he's absolutely the same for you, if not more. Best believe he always remembers what you're studying at any given time, and remembers little tidbits of everything.

Brings you snacks, tea, and coffee when you’re studying late or doing assignments because he wants to make sure you’re eating and drinking enough.

If you go to the bathroom or just step out to do something, he'll refill your mug so you have a fresh cup when you get back.

If you've been having a stressful time and he's streaming, he'll go check on you every couple of hours to make sure you're okay. ("Hang on chat, I gotta go check on my girl real quick.")

You guys often make dinner together, considering it one of your 'couple traditions'. But whenever one of you is busy, the other surprises them with dinner. Mid study session he'll pop his head through the door like "Dinner'll be up in about 15 minutes, lovey. Finish up for a bit and come eat with me?"

You don't even have to be working - you could be curled up in bed for a lazy evening and movie. He'll slip away mid-movie without a word and come back half an hour later with a warm meal, a bottle of wine, and a sweet treat for dessert. He LOVES acts of service, and doesn't expect any praise or acknowledgement from them. He almost views them as a 'non-neogotiable'; the George Clarke Package just includes it and he will hear no arguments.

Is genuinely super interested in your work and your day. Every night during dinner he’ll ask about your day and listen intently while you go through it all.

He’ll sit and listen while you think out loud when working through legal problems. Won't try and interrupt (unless you ask, of course) - he just lets you have your moment. How your mind works absolutely fascinates him. Definitely smiles to himself unconsciously when you have your 'ah-ha' moment

100% would roleplay being your client or something if it helped you, even if he doesn’t really know what he’s doing. He’d probably insist on making up different characters and giving them different accents.

“Where is my character from?”

“It doesn’t really matter, honey. You’re just a generic person.”

“This character kind of sounds like an arsehole... French it is.”

Yes, it makes it more difficult to do the task with a straight face, but he loves making you smile.

“George, did you know that you legally cannot steal a pigeon?” “…Darling on a completely unrelated note, how would you feel about a pet?”

Will check on you while you’re studying to make sure you’re having breaks.

“Come have a cup of tea with me, love. You deserve a little break.”

Drives him insane when you study with a messy bun and one of his hoodies. And if you wear glasses? God help this man

Absolute study buddy king. Helps you with flashcards, quizzes, the whole nine yards. He does try to make it more lighthearted, because that is his nature, but if you really need him to he will knuckle down and be serious.

If you do a quiz, 10/10 will be Game Show Host George. Half the time you have to convince him not to break out the rainbow sequin suit he (for some reason) owns.

Definitely tries to turn it into cheeky drinking or strip games, but he reads you like a book and knows whether you're in the right frame of mind for that. Would never presssure you into anything, but he may encourage you to unwind and enjoy yourself a little, particularly if you've been stressed recently.

I cannot stress this enough; he is so proud of you. He knows how stressful of an industry it is, and if you’re putting yourself through university he just admires you that much more. You genuinely inspire him to work hard and achieve his goals (and he is not afraid to tell you or anyone else this).

He remembers a random tidbits of what you tell him. Like he’d definitely be with his friends and they’d say something incorrect or inaccurate, and he just has an “Erm, actually☝️🤓” moment in his signature cocky sort of way. (he kind of loves showing off that he remembers things)

Already campaigning for you to be a consultant of some sort for the podcast.

George: "She'd be pefect, honestly. We gotta hire her."

Max: "I am really not the person to be talking to about this."

George: "But then we'd be able to work together!"

You: "I'm not even registered yet, George."

George: "But when you are, boom! Immediate job! Not that you'd need help getting one but surely working on the world's best podcast would be great on the ol resume, eh?"

Max: "Ah yes, because of all the legal problems we experience on a daily basis?"

George: "Well with the shit we talk about, wouldn't be surprised if something comes up one of these days."

Absolutely invites you on YouTube Court, and just sits back and watches with the biggest smile as you deliver the most air-tight and well researched defences to the most ridiculous cases ever. Proud Boyfriend George moment. His subscribers LOVE you - George is flooded with comments and DM's asking for you to come back.

Does his judge costume from YouTube Court get used outside the videos? Perhaps. Cause let's be real, he'd be down to clown in some wacky roleplays just for shits and giggles, even if it's only for a little bit. Knowing him, he'd make some dumb, joking comment when the cameras stop rolling and it just progresses from there.

George: "So, missy. You know disrespecting the judge is a criminal offence, and I feel it's only fair to impose a punishment. Do you have anything to say for yourself before his Honour teaches you a lesson?"

Stephen: "George, we're all still here, you haven't left the Discord call yet, ya twat."

Maybe gets a little bit dejected sometimes. As much as he adores his job, he gets a bit worried that you secretly want someone who is doing something more than YouTube and content creation. But you always assure him his achievements are just as important as yours, if not more, and he’s the one for you. You're endlessly proud of him.

You definitely get on really well with ArthurTV. Being an ex-lawyer, he loves being able to give you tips and help you out. He definitely reads your papers. Not even necessarily to proofread them (although he will: "I just highlighted a couple of minor typos") or anything, he just finds them fascinating.

He definitely organises date nights, both spontaneous and planned (after consulting your shared calendar, of course). He likes to find the cutest and chilliest things for you guys to do; think mini-golf, arcading, and movie marathons. He also loves adventuring around with you to find new spots to try.

I reckon he’d put something in the calendar a week or two in advance like “Date Night <3” so it gives you time to organise yourself. But he never pressures you if you are too busy. Or organises things wayy in advance as post-exam treats or something.

George is a spontaneous guy though, so if either of you are ever free, best believe he’s taking you out or ordering takeout for a relaxing night in. After a long day, he'd message something like, "Just seen a new Italian placed opened up a few streets away. Care for a bite?"

I fully believe that you'd submit an assignment or get a good grade back and he'd immediately crank the music in the flat for an inpromtu dance-party. 10/10 ends in a sweet old-timey dance where he's spinning and dipping you around the living room before you both collapse in a fit of laughter and you order dinner. (Your pick of food, of course.)

"I'm sorry to tell you poppet, but you can't admitted as a lawyer. You know they don't allow criminals."

"I'm not a criminal?"

"You are - you're a thief!"

"???"

"You've stolen my heart."

"Oh my days."

For some reason, he just kind of assumes that you read the Terms and Conditions on absolutely everything.

"Oh yeah? Well my girlfriend's a lawyer, and she'll sue your ass!" (he says this a LOT. no matter how many times you try to correct him)

If something happens when you go out, like the boys get bombarded or followed by fans or something, ask them to leave. If it's really bad, and you have to throw in like a "Don't make me press charges for harassment," #proudboyfriendgeorge is just standing across from you like "Yes slayy girl queen! Serving absolute professional-lawyer-puss over 'ere!" (he's a bit drunk atp)

"Y/n, Simon murdered me via Among Us. Can I press charges?"

When you graduate, you best believe he's in the closest row possible with the biggest bouquet of flowers ever.

Definitely has a lil something to remind him of you on his Useless Hotline desk. It'd be something subtle like a lego car you guys built together, or a gift you bought him.

If Max asks you to come on the podcast, George is so excited. George normally sits next to Max when they have a podcast guest. Not when you're there. He's right beside you, hand resting on your thigh just out of camera shot, smiling lovingly as Max asks you about your degree and life with George.

All in all, he's so proud of you and loves telling anyone who will listen that his lady is a badass lawyer.

"---I've been without food for multiple days in a row; That damn bread roll would've been nice to have, but it ain't a big deal." Not anymore, not after having been out there, on the field; Sure, soldiers got their nice military rations to cook up whenever they had the chance to do so, but...

Well, let's say, not all of those rations have reached their destination - and some days simply didn't offer a man enough time to eat, to fill his body with calories, even if he were to have food on his hands. Life can be incredibly unkind to some, especially when shooting bullets. One signs up for that when joining the military - whoever complains isn't made for it, will either wilt under the sheer pressure of every-day-Marine-life or crumble before even getting there, all broken and shaken to the bone, forced to go back to a much more mundane, normal kind of life.

Marc sighs, swallows again, keeps holding that ice-pack against his temple; He thinks the pain killers are kicking in, the persistent ache inside his skull starting to feel a bit... lighter, perhaps. That's the good thing about taking those pills on an empty stomach, even if it can cause some side-effects - all of those chemicals will be absorbed rather fast.

"...Coffee, though? Yeah, would really like to have some of that stuff at some point... dunno, once I'm outta here or whatever." ---Or, if he's being asked to stay within the infirmary, he'd also take a coffee while sitting around here, on this stupid blue chair, sure. Doesn't matter to him where he gets to enjoy his hot beverage (as much as one enjoys the bitterness of it, honestly), as long as he is going to have it at some point of this morning.

A huff, another glance at Harrow, a somewhat arched brow at the vegan-thing. "Suits you. ---Being vegan, I mean." A shrug. "Sure as hell got some food-OCD going on as well, huh? Yeah... ah, well."

A slow-blink, one of many, and Marc finally sits up a bit more straight again - his movement tentative, deliberate in nature, as he leans with his back against the chair's backrest now. Tilting his head back a little, heavy-lidded eyes gazing straight ahead at some imaginary point somewhere inside this room.

"...Y'know, the military's fucking your ass if you got some stupid food-preferences going on. Imagine being out there, stationed somewhere in the middle of the desert, and all you got is some questionable water and military-rations; Sure, there are vegetarian and vegan options existing, all of that, but... even if you were to be one of those things, at some point you'd stop caring." A light snort, a hint of a smirk. "---You're just so damn tired and exhausted after a while, you'd eat absolutely anything when you finally get the chance to do such. ---So, no, I'm not vegan or vegetarian, nor do I have food allergies. ...Never have been either of those things before, either. Always enjoyed my fish sticks and chicken nuggets as a kid."

A chuckle, with Marc having to think of Steven here - oh boy, he'd be so utterly fucked if he were to be a military guy. Not that Steven would ever consider to be one to begin with - never in a million years - but... yeah, it's funny, the thing with him having chosen to not consume anything that includes, or comes from, an animal to begin with.

A sudden new wave of pain shooting through his head, a groan that follows, with Marc closing his eyes. Alright, okay, yeah, he's still banged up and he needs to take things slowly here...

Arthur huffed, somewhere between a chuckle and a sigh. He reached up to adjust his glasses, perhaps just something to do with his hands. It had been a frightening moment, not that he would confess to it - fights used to shake him up so severely that he would be uncomfortable for the rest of the day. The sight of blood, the thought of someone being hurt - it didn't ruin his whole morning now that he was a bit older, not anymore. 

He did understand the thought of being upset over losing a roll and a coffee, though. He was never the same, with missed coffee. 

“If you’re hungry, we’d be able to get breakfast,” he informed, glancing to his watch for just a moment. “This kind of thing puts my schedule on a bit of a lockdown, you could say - priority is taking care of you.” Keeping him from getting in another fight, mostly, but Arthur could phrase it however he wanted. 

“If I say that you need breakfast, we can get it for you. The kitchens normally keep things for a while - worst case scenario, we find two cups of black coffee and make it work.” It was a fun sort of power, how much everyone trusted him with things. He had a good track record with taking care of people, so his higher-ups were a bit more willing to let him get away with things; trips away from the facility, getting special foods or drinks for his patients. 

Getting breakfast would be next to nothing, in terms of ease. Especially when the hospital almost always had something left over after breakfast that just sat around. 

He paused a beat, before casually continuing; “I’m vegan - another thing to poke fun at, I’m sure. But if you have any allergies or dietary preferences that I should be aware of, I can bring it up to the cafeteria staff.” 

Maybe his eyes gave him away, that clinical glint back in them; but it would be fascinating, to know if Marc had anything that would need to be brought up.

Not sure if this kind aus are your cup but i really wanted to share so hope you like it 😊

Buck and Tommy meet each other way before Buck goes to LA and 118. They meet at the army. Buck is a seal, he went through it and he really likes physical aspect and the easy comrade that goes between guys, he feels like he belongs.

Tommy left army because of some injury and became a firefighter in 118, everything there goes like in canon until Tommy is asked to go back as a pilot for seals operations (i don't know anything abt usa army and seals and if it's possible but that's fiction so who cares right). He and Chimney aren't close in here and Chimney and Hen think of him as some brutal guy distant guy without any emotion.

And Tommy becomes a pilot for this group of young seals. They all came here after dadt, one of them even is an openly gay and noone is looking at him differently. So Tommy feels easier in their company, he opens up with them. He even hooks up with that cute guy with adorable birthmark above the eye. After both of them are getting closer, they like each other more and more with every interaction. They decide to try a relationship but keep it secret because they know they can be separated in different teams. But their team knows and approves, everyone is just happy for them.

And then Evan gets pregnant. Of course he wants to have a child nd Tommy agrees. Evan leaves seals and goes to LA because Tommy has a house there. They get married so Evan can be in Tommy's insurance. Tommy still has a year and a half to his deployment so he can't help Evan during the pregnancy and with the newborn but he comes for the birth.

When the baby is few months old Evan feels restless sitting home all the time so he goes to fire academy. And then to 118. He doesn't tell them about his husband or child and they still see him as a mindless young guy although this time he doesn't steal trucks for hook ups because he loves his husband. But they really like him.

When Tommy comes home Evan is over the moon. Now they can be a family together finally. Tommy goes to harbour and everything is perfect. Once he visits Evan at work and everyone there is super surprised. What do you mean Buck's married? And to Tommy? They think Buck is in an abusive relationship because well Tommy can't be a good guy for someone so positive and full of life as Buck.

ANONNNNN HOW DO YOU DROP A GEM LIKE THIS ON MY INBOX WITHOUT WARNING OMG (Also do y'all know how happy you make me by sharing all your mpreg woes and joys with me? I love that this is a thing ♥) This has everything I love! SEALs Buck and Army Tommy, yes! And the fact they make important bonds in their unit is so incredible! The 118 not liking Tommy is such DRAMA, I love it. Because yes, if you think about Tommy pre-Hen Begins and Buck, it's not a match you'd consider. And the 118 who knows Buck as this relentless sunshine and Tommy as, frankly, a jerk? Yeah, they don't like how that sounds. It also goes so well with this problem the 118 has of seeing Buck as someone who doesn't know his own mind. So naturally they think he doesn't know what Tommy is like. You gotta tell me more anonnnn! How do they find out about the baby? How does Tommy feel when he finds out his husband is working at his former station where he didn't leave such a good impression???

I'm torn, because on one hand I fucking love daemon AUs and there's so much fun potential in one with this cast.

But on the other hand, if we're assuming that daemons- being a fun symbolic animal-shaped embodiment of a person's actual soul- tend to more openly display the feelings that their human half might be trying to keep hidden... I mean, there goes half of canon out the window.

Siffrin's daemon would be doing big sad kitty eyes at getting left out of the group hugs in a way that left him no plausible deniability at all.

That said, daemon ideas for the main cast:

Siffrin- black-footed cat. Looks like a cute little house pet, actually a wildcat with an alarmingly efficient rate of kills on its hunts. ...But, even though they're solitary creatures, they're still very closely related to the branch of the feline family tree that ended up actively domesticating themselves and becoming modern housecats. Has a very long range and scouts out ahead from Siffrin a lot, something that they both kind of hate but are determined to endure to be useful to the rest of the party. As part of Siffrin's soul, carries both their desperate desire to reach out to others and their intense self-loathing- in other words, you can tell when things are getting bad bad in the loops when Siffrin starts getting scratched and bitten for touching her.

Isabeau- dog, but specifically one of those horrendously smart working dogs bred for sheep-herding or similar, the ones that if you leave them without A Real Job to do for too long they figure out doorknobs and basic mathematics and then start shredding the couch from boredom. So people who don't know much about dogs just go 'oh! big fluffy friend-shaped guy' and ones that do go '...okay so you've definitely reorganized an entire library to get everything back in alphabetical order at least once, huh'.

Mirabelle- horse. Beautiful! Majestic! Talented! Really, really scared, so extremely nervous, oh God what is happening send help. Would prefer to run from problems but if you back her into a corner you will be getting trampled to death. Visually, probably one spiral horn away from looking like a storybook unicorn, just an absolutely stunning fairy tale of a creature.

Odile- magpie. They're all over Europe, but there are a lot of Asian species, too- a creature meant for lots of different places. More to the point, like all corvids they're smart as hell and surprisingly social.

Bonnie- unsettled! They're a kid, their daemon won't be taking on their adult form for at least a couple more years. Keeps trying to take big, strong forms, but they just don't feel quite right yet.

Loop- doesn't seem to have one. Siffrin's daemon finds something hauntingly familiar about them, though... Don't worry about it. It's probably nothing. :)

The King- whatever experimental craft he's been fucking around with has been doing uhhhhhhhhhhhhh not great things to his soul, or maybe it's just the result of his terrible personal decisions. His daemon was a wolf, very much in the Does Not Do Well Separated From The Pack sense, which is unfortunate, considering. If Mirabelle's daemon looks like she stepped out of a fairytale about unicorns and virtuous maidens, his looks like it should be lurking in the pages of kind of story where the maiden and her grandmother both get eaten up long before the woodsman gets there with the axe.

[strawwbyy]

Honey I'm hungry, give me a total opposite of the whb mc, like girly does not like getting exposed from this horny mfs. She's shy too. Like "wanna fuck?" "No thank u.." "..oh" literally like that, she's shy at everything bro does not wanna have sex unless it's necessary. Like right it however ya want.

Realistically I don't know how far this would get you in Hell, considering that humans need demon energy to survive. BUT, ignoring that, I think it would be kind of fun depending on the demon. As Solomons descendant, demons seek mc out (initially at least) because of the shared soul or smth like that, and since they're super horny anyways and i know mc a baddie i feel they would take adversion to sex as a challenge. Considering the story, some bonds that we have with mostly the kings come from sex. Especially Lucifer I feel got closer to us thanks to this. In the end I do feel like the demons would respect whatever desition we take, but big part of the mcs character is how sexual they are and that makes demons like her a lot, so it's hard to imagine an mc who doesn't want to have sex with anyone!

- If I had to go one by one with the kings...

Satan... i have a hard time thinking about this guy because he likes mcs freakyness sooo much, and he's always talking about how she has to be open with her desires and lose whatever human shame she's got left. so im not really sure. Mammon i feel would be the most happy even without sex. he'd be happy with any sort of affection from mc anyways, he literally fell in love at first sight (his words not mine!). plus he's the most respectful considerate king out of all, the best fr. Leviathan i feel wouldn't mind either. even after having sex with him the first time he still had plans to kill mc later on, but the moment he kinda fell in love or at least got infatuated was during his SECOND murder attempt, where mc cried and felt srry for him (i didnt.) so he felt butterflies or whatever the fuck he felt. So yeah he wouldn't mind too much, maybe he'd be confused at first and a lil upset but eh. Lucifer is a little hard too??? cause his relationship with mc has gotten closer during his four cards which all were basically just sex. Like, at the beginning of his selfie card he was kinda agressive and didn't care for mc, but after and with the following cards he became totally infatuated and gets hard at the sight of mc so. idk. Beelzebub... im sorry but i do not see this man being into this kinda mc. like he wouldn't hate mc but i feel like he would ultimately lose interest if none of his advances are met. i don't like beel a lot honestly, i feel he'd be kinda pushy and confused at first and just give up eventually. he loses interest fast. Belphegor......... y'all im sorry he would not waste a second on an mc who doesn't wanna fuck him. literally the only times he "cares" about mc is during horny moments. even his philia is described as him developing feelings only if you put the effort into turning him on and stuff. soooo big nono Asmodeus i feel would be okay with this??? like it would take a while for him to accept it seeing as he's literally the king of lust but i do think he's capable of separating sexual and romantic love if you push him to it... he'd enjoy mcs affection anyways. i havent really payed too much attention to his character in his selfie and i haven't read his teacher card, so i'm not too sure how his feelings for mc developed. anyways that's my opinion :) i feel the nobles aren't built up enough for me to think of how they'd interact with this kinda mc. ultimately all demons would respect our desition but some would be more dissappointed than others. Hell is a highly sexual place so it kind of goes against the story, but i did my best lol!

After seeing your discussion on Roy and Alex talking in volume 9 about Ed turning 16 soon, which means he'd be of age to be used as a human weapon, along with Roy's plans, I thought to ask, what are your thoughts (possible analysis maybe) on that scene with Roy and Alex a bit later?

The one where after Maria Ross is "killed," the news gets passed on to Knox, the Eric's, and Armstrong? (I feel it never gets talked about)

I find it intriguing in that scene that the mostly comic relief character, Armstrong, looks like he was trying to physically restrain himself from harming, even killing Mustang, his superior, after Maria Ross' "death", visibly enraged for the first time in the manga. I felt it was a reminder of his discussion with Mustang of using his (Armstrong's) strength for good. So, in that scene, doing otherwise would just be repeating Ishval again.

Thank you so much for this question!! It made me so keen to look into that section further, and YES ISN'T IT SO INTERESTING.

First of all

Hi, Doctor Knox! I love him? Every character who went through Ishval deserves to have their brain put through a dishwasher, but This Guy is the only one who knows what that would do to the brain and still agrees. He has seen things. What things? The human experimentation through the war! More precisely, Roy's human experimentation!

There are very few adults in this series who haven't been responsible for reprehensible things. And Knox's story is such an interesting part of that. But that's later.

First, a few things:

(I snipped the next panel before considering the structure of this post, but's it's just pointing out that Roy is also there.)

He hasn't done it for a long time ... Yeah, Knox knows exactly how long it's been, and he doesn't think very much of you.

But this, now, anon, is what you're talking about:

Armstrong's absolute RAAAAAAGGGE! He has been slowly heating up in this story, a pot just now coming to a turbulent boil, but still he reins himself in!!

What I'm reading here is betrayal. He thought Mustang had these same ideals, would value them too - had some integrity! Enough to wait for the facts, to seek the truth and not just what was handed him! They've been looking at corruption in the military and here - here, Armstrong KNOWS this is part of it, because he knows Hughes was killed looking into it, and he knows Maria's story checks out, so he KNOWS that she is being framed, and here is this man he trusted? Who killed her without waiting to find that out?

I wonder - I just wonder - if he's sizing Mustang up for Hughes' murder, too. If he's trying to remember what about Mustang made him want to hint at everything about the corruption and bring him along for the ride. Mustang was Hughes' friend, and Armstrong thought that meant he wanted to find the killer, but he's suddenly wondering if Mustang was snooping to weed out everyone involved. He'd be next. Or Denny Brosh. Or the Elrics.

And ohh he is so filled with grief at losing the chance to save Maria. He knew it was a long shot, if they weren't even accepting Brosh's testimony, which would account for her lost bullet, but there was still hope as long as she hadn't been hanged, right?

Hints and clues all over again - but while Mustang can be a jerk, he's not one to repeat a phrase meaninglessly.

A beautiful young woman, Knox said. And in the East, Mustang tells Armstrong, there are plenty of beautiful ladies to go around.

Or maybe just one.

Armstrong is shattered. We saw the rage flowing through him and yet he didn't burst out in anything. He hung limp. He fell into his chair. Everything he saw was against his understanding of people and truth and what was right.

But if Mustang really means what it sounds like - if he is talking in the same codes Armstrong had to use to tell him about the corruption in the first place ... then he hasn't betrayed Armstrong. If he is still the kind of man Armstrong would follow out of Ishval to fix the bloody path left behind them - then these are words of hope!

Ohh, I love how Arakawa pulls these things together. It's just all so dense with meaning :')

Thank you for your question, anon! I'd love to hear what you think! And if you (or anyone else!) have more questions, I'd definitely love to hear them. I'm likely to post answers as I reach sections, so if you ask for something super far ahead I will take a while to get to it :)

[toasty130]

Yeah, honestly, I hadn't really considered it until now, a lot male characters get sexually harassed in Aphmau stuff. The Michi stuff especially, isn't put to light a lot of the time, and I've noticed that it's mostly used to oppose Aphmau, like, almost to say, "Look at this other woman, she can steal your man.", when it really isn't that. In the context of Minecraft dairies, we don't really know what happened to Laurance when he was trapped with Michi, however we do have clues in dialogue like "This male mefiwa here, this is her lover, I have no use for him since he didn't want to have fun with me at all! Hmph!" And "There's not exactly much of you to have fun with...", there's context clues that Michi might of done something, or at least tried to do something to Laurence, and if the rebirth would of continued, I wonder if that would of gone deeper...

Another thing with Michi, when Aaron was switching over to be the main love interest, Michi also switched over to trying to get with Aaron. Of course, in Mystreet season 1, that's more played for laughs, like OOO, look at Michi trying to be Aphmau, and cause ✨Drama✨. When Michi's behavior, shouldn't be played for jokes, because, she can really hurt people.

The Zane ghost stuff, is extremely sad. I mean, when he was trying to tell his friend (along with, brother!) that a girl kissed him without consent, they brushed it off, like, it was impossible. I don't blame Kim for this happening, I mean, she was getting possessed, and I feel like the fandom sometimes blames her for that, but no, this is Ghost's creepy actions...

I was always a Laurmau person, I mean, as soon as Laurance was introduced in Minecraft dairies, I was hooked, to this day, he is my favorite character. Later in season 1 of MCD, Aphmau and Laurance's relationship is so sweet, and even most of season 2, I was rooting for them. For many years, I held a grudge against Aaron, because I thought Laurmau was better. When Aarmau and Laurmau are both equally good, just dynamics. Even though, I do agree that Aarmau needed to develop on screen more, and I feel like, if it did, it would of prevented some Garmau and Laurmau fans from hating it for all eternity.

I really hope season 7 of Mystreet is good though. I'm a bit hesitant on it being animation, because from the little part we saw of the animation being used, there's a high chance it could be overwhelming for some viewers. I have my own opinions on the animation. The blush on the female characters, is intense. I understand if it's like...make up, but I don't think characters such as, Katelyn, would put on that much blush. Another thing with Katelyn, I feel like she'd have more muscle, but in the animation, she doesn't, it just feels off for her character. I feel weird making this comment, but the chests. I mean, I don't know each and everyone one of the female character's body types, but I don't think everyone would have the same chest. Aphmau having a bigger chest, I see that happening, she's supposed to be a little more on the chubby side, and that can mean having a bigger chest. I'm just kind of nervous, because I already see everyone falling under the same body syndrome curse, that goes for the guys too! Not everyone guy is ultra tall with a more broad body. Just like not every girl is short, with a curvy body. It's animation now, you aren't stuck to one body type for a character, do don't make everyone have the same body.

(sorry it took me awhile to reply, I didn't get a notification😅)

I like Mystreet as much as the next person, I was a MCD person, and I'll always be a MCD person...with that being said, from time to time, I think about the comparisons for characters between the two properties...you know the usual, like the Mystreet Laurance and MCD Laurance, or sometimes Garroth, or even Katelyn...this rambling session isn't about them though, it's about Dante.

By far, Dante is one of my favorites in MCD. At first glance, he can be forgettable. He's not apart of the Aphmau love triangle, nor is he apart every adventure in season 2, but when you get the whole picture of MCD, he's character is amazing.

I mean, there's so much to him. His personality, his morals, his history...his family. Dante is a character that is easily expandable.

By far, one of the most important things about Dante, is his loyalty. This man, stayed 15 years in the same place because his Lord told him to, no matter how many offers for him to leave came up, he didn't, and that is extremely compelling.

With that said, it's time for Mystreet Dante...anyways! Dante in Mystreet (+ Phoenix Drop High) is quite different. First off, Dante in Mystreet is extremely flirty, to the point he's creepy and disrespectful. In Phoenix Drop High(mostly effecting Mystreet later on), Dante taught Travis creepy behaviors, such as touching others without their permission. Of course, this is all played for humor, Dante in Mystreet is all played for humor...even when his behaviors are far from it.

To add to this behavior, it's very obvious from the first episode of Mystreet, that Dante is supposed to be seen in a more love interest route, a route that Mystreet Aphmau realistically, doesn't chose. I find this odd, comparably, in MCD, Dante views Aphmau as a sister, and I'd like to believe Aphmau views Dante as brother, or at least as someone who is family...this really makes me wonder, why did Jessica, in Season 1 of Mystreet, put Dante in a love interest light? When she makes it very clear In MCD, that Dante doesn't view Aphmau in that way.

Another thing about Dante, that reloves around love, is his relationships, romantic relationships that is. In season 1 of Phoenix Drop, Dante not only dates Kawaii~Chan, but Nicole(An obvious reference to MCD). In MCD, The Kawaii~Chan and Nicole situation is taken as a situation that is sad and complicated. I'm not exactly sure on times, but Dante does Date Nicole for awhile, before she must go back to Scaleswind, and if I remember correctly, Nicole does ask Dante to go with her, but he refuses, because of his commitment to Phoenix Drop. After Nicole gets to Scaleswind, she finds she is with child, but then there's Kawaii~Chan. During the 15 year time skip, Kawaii~Chan travels a bit before settling back in Phoenix Drop. Dante and Kawaii~Chan only date after Dante and Nicole breakup...but eventually, Nicole comes for a visit. When Nicole visits, Kawaii~Chan is three months pregnant, while Nicole is also obviously pregnant. There is a very important thing to this situation, Dante doesn't know he is the father of Nicole's child. So for years after, Dante, lives unaware, until the child (Or Dimitri) sneaks away from Nicole, but after that gets sorted out, Dante steps up, he takes responsibility for Dimitri.

Now, none of that happens in Phoenix Drop High. It's just Dante dating Nicole and Kawaii~Chan at the same time. Of course, Dante deals with consequences of being a jerk to these two girls, because if I remember correctly, they dump him. I just can't help but think about it, since the two situations are very different in the priorities, one, doesn't make anyone a villain, it was a situation of major miscommunication, and as soon as every communicated, the situation turned into taking care of everyone and becoming a family. While in Phoenix Drop High, the situation is there to paint Dante as a major jerk, rightfully so, because he shouldn't be dating two people at the same time, but I just can't help but notice the two situations...and how they paint everyone in it.

There is only a few redeeming qualities of Mystreet Dante. He is funny sometimes, like in Dante and Travis the show. The changes between MCD Dante and Mystreet Dante, just makes me think about why...why did they change him so drastically? Was it just fit a trope, was it something deeper, or was it nothing at all, and I'm just thinking too deep?

(If I get any facts about MCD Dante wrong, please tell me, I haven't watched MCD in awhile)

Positioning Louis as the "Edwardian wife who becomes trapped by her husband" in a literal sense does no justice to analyzing his actual place and role as a Black man in his society and in his relationship with Lestat. Any interpretation or analysis you do of him when it comes to their relationship cannot be stripped of the racial aspect because it's constantly there. Texts analyzing Edwardian wives (and particularly ones this fandom loves to bring up) typically were white and the dissection of their place in societal rules are always viewed from the aspect of gender that is within these texts only allowed to white women, but never to Black men or even Black women. And gender and race become inseparable when you discuss the latter, no matter how people may view it.

This is why I can't take this approach to analyzing Louis' story seriously because if you don't consider the racial aspect in his relationship even to himself and his sexuality, what's the point? You're still centering the standards that were more placed upon white male/female couples than you're willing to look into the unique structure of Black families, religion, their view of homosexuality and how that sooner heavily influences Louis than the family's "need" for him to be sold off to an Edwardian husband. Even in Louis' own story, him and Claudia being Black is more centered on than any demeaning "housewife" comment he tries to go against from Claudia's perspective. She makes that comment once, whereas we have at least two episodes from Louis' perspective that have very blatant hints and showings of the racism he still suffers from under the Jim Crow era and how it affects his self-worth as well as his relationship with Lestat who doesn't seem to take into consideration how any of the blatant racial aggressions and objections still affect Louis and what he considers to be important to achieve in his own life.

Then there's also the pointed topic of Louis' position as a Black man who is a pimp to the Black women he has as sex workers, as well as how his position as a Black father affects Claudia, another Black girl. If you insist on Louis being centered as this "Edwardian white wife" who is confined by his implicit gender in his marriage, where does that leave Claudia and the blatant misogyny and disrespect she gets from both him and Lestat? Lestat who is her white father abuses her. Positioning Louis within the strict confines of "being her mother" doesn't do her any favors because he didn't hesitate to choke her when he was deeply emotionally distressed, nor does it make him look any better when he's fine with chopping up her diaries and then delivering them on a silver platter so that Daniel, another white man, can read and dissect. Even if he does this under the sole pretense of "doing right by her", how does it in any way help when he also can't face up to his failures towards her?

Both Nobara and the blonde witch (Momo?) make good points about the role of women in this Jujutsu society. Momo points out that power is not enough for them, that that which is good enough for men isn't for women, that they are held to higher standards, and for them scars aren't badges of honour as they are for men, but make them undesirable and damaged goods.

And then there's Nobara, pointing out those are sexist standards one doesn't have to adhere to, that it's on them for playing by the rules and having those exigences in mind. That she likes clothes and looking pretty, but for herself, she doesn't expect it from others or respect more someone who does as well if they don't want to, like she likes Maki but dislikes Mai. And she too is right! It's true that adhering to those exigences perpetuates the standards! But what she says doesn't negate what Momo says, which is the fact that, yeah, okay, it sucks, but that's how it is and not playing by the rules just makes everything harder. And harder still for someone like Mai (or Maki) to whom perfection isn't just the goal, but the very starting point being people from one of the main clans. So she can understand and defend Mai's position and approach to the problem, as Nobara understands and defends Maki's.

This all gains layers of complexity and juiciness considering Momo and Mai are Utahime's students and Todo's classmates. I am sure the manga won't go there, but wow is it intriguing how Utahime's situation may have influenced their views. What a pity the manga won't go there

ally and lou really did such a phenomenal job at creating these two characters who are just. such perfect opposites yet balance each other out so well. they are foils they are yin and yang they are the most special guys on planet earth. their relationship to each other AND just their relationships to the world at large is so fascinating and fun and heartfelt.

like we have kingston who's entire life is his community. he knows he doesn't have to worry too much about his own shit because he's put so much effort and time and genuine care and devotion into his community that he Knows he's got people who he can count on, who he can lean on if he needs anything. he's secure in his position in life; he knows who he is and where he stands. he's spent his entire life building bonds and ties to the people around him. he gives everything to his city and his city gives it right back. he holds his hand out fearlessly but knowingly and people take it.

and then there's pete. who. has never really had any kind of community. his family don't accept or tolerate him. before the adventure it's unclear if he had any real friends, and his last serious relationship was codependent and unhealthy and ended in a pretty bad way. he's trying to navigate psychosis and transition entirely on his own without stable housing or health insurance or any real support network. he doesn't care about himself or his health because no one else ever has so why should he. life is easier when he's got a thick wall up between himself and the world. this body isn't one meant for love so why treat it like it is.

and they look at each other and. they don't get where the other is coming from at first. kingston says he'd sacrifice pete for the community but then he realizes pete is a part of his community. and pete realizes he has to let a little of his guard down, has to actually consider other people and let them in if he ever wants to have any kind of stable life for himself.

and then they both get thrown into this. weird quirky group and they just. genuinely all fit together so well? like misty has been at this for a long time. she's kind of shady but she has all these connections and she's such a fun, flamboyant presence. she's vigilant and knows how to look out for herself and shows all these people who are still figuring this world out how to look out for themselves, too. and ricky who is so genuine and enthusiastic in the way he navigates life. pete even said he was obsessed with the way ricky does masculinity; he seems like he's such a stereotypical dumb jock macho archetype, but then he's just this sweet, selfless guy who is about as secure in himself as someone is capable of being. and kugrash who's there reminding them all of the realities of the city: that there are people (or other creatures) that fall through the cracks. they get deemed unworthy or unseemly and Lesser, the people (and animals) you look away from. but he says no no. these are still people. they still deserve the same dignity you'd give anyone else, even if i'm the only one who can give it to them. and sofia, who. god she keeps them all grounded. the other 'newbie' to the world of magic, she really, really needs some friends, so she's so unafraid to be a friend to each and every one of them. she was never shy about showering them with genuine care, even a literal sewer rat and a twitchy, messy drug dealer. they just all fit together so well and they all are just. genuinely trying their best to navigate a big, scary world.

and of course kingston is the guiding light, as he's so used to being for the people of this community that he cherishes so much. he has roots here, so he's a steady presence for everyone around him, even pete, who was so convinced for so long that he actually didn't have anything to offer. all he has is this scary new magic that he's only barely learning to control, and so many people want to take that power and use it for their own gain, but the party accepts him not for what he can do for them but because he is a person and they're all in this together. and they're all a little bit lonely, but now their world is getting so much bigger because they have each other in it.

every single pc from unsleeping city is just So incredibly endearing. to Me 🥺

All of these "who has more anything gender!" polls are just. white man without extreme body builder muscles v white man without extreme body builder muscles. The gender is "masculine" stop pretending it's universal

Lucifer doesn't care how the labcoats say it works; he knows there's no such thing as a clean break from a drift the minute the plug is pulled. Instead, Michael goes from a second consciousness beside his own to being dragged out of Lucifer the further Lucifer gets from him, both of them gripping tight to the connection until it slips, until it snaps, with a violent recoil that knocks Lucifer's brain out of alignment and reminds his legs that they don't work. His next step falls too fast, too heavily, and refuses to take his weight. It's only Michael, now only a voice outside of Lucifer's head yelling his name, catching him from behind that allows Lucifer to collapse to the floor with his dignity intact.

Imagine Ghost accidentally conditioning the 141...

Ghost is busy. Always. Too much paperwork, too many reports, too many logistics to handle before training. It’s 1400 before he realizes he’s skipped lunch. Again.

Not a big deal. Not the first time. Won’t be the last.

But he is hungry.

His eyes land on the bright pink bag of Valentine’s Day mini Snickers that’s been sitting, untouched, on his desk for a week. They were part of a bulk shipment to the base; some gift or something.

Not exactly lunch. But it’ll do.

He grabs the bag and heads for the training field. He’s two minutes late, not that it matters much because Soap and Gaz already have the unit ready.

"Where’s Price?" he asks, tearing open the bag as he walks up.

"Got pulled away. You’ve got this one, Sir," Gaz replies, raising a brow as Ghost lifts his mask just enough to pop a Snickers into his mouth.

Ghost doesn’t react, just grunts.

Today’s drill is a simple infiltration exercise. Hell, it's something Ghost or Price hardly have to be here for. Their presence would be more of a formality. Gaz leads the attackers. Soap leads the defenders. The teams get ten minutes to plan, to prep.

And then Ghost sounds the time up, and the groups move.

Ghost watches, leaning against a crate, chewing another Snickers, barely paying attention to one of the new guys—until the kid steps right into a trap. Ghost sees it before he does.

Blue powder erupts into his face.

Soap’s defenders descend, but the kid doesn’t go down easily. Blind, but still fighting back, holding his own until his team pulls him out.

Soap's team wins. Barely.

When it’s over, the teams regroup. Ghost is still eating Snickers.

He turns to the recruit, still dusted blue.

"What 'appened?"

"Didn’t see the wire." The kid shifts uncomfortably.

Ghost turns to the unit. "Who set it?"

One of the defenders raises a hand. Ghost considers him for a moment before reaching into the bag.

He tosses a mini-Snickers at the soldier.

The guy catches it. Looks at it. Looks at Ghost. Eats it.

Ghost turns back to the newbie. "Held your own. Tha' matters. Surprises happen. Don’t let ‘em get you again."

And that’s it. Training’s dismissed. Ghost pockets the rest of the Snickers and moves on.

...

The next day, Price is still gone. Ghost doesn’t skip lunch this time, but he still brings the Snickers bag.

They run the same drill.

Same recruit. Same route. But this time, he checks everything. Quick. Efficient. Finds the wire. Disarms it.

No blue powder today.

Gaz’s team wins.

Ghost eyes the recruit and flicks a Snickers at him. The kid catches it mid-air.

...

By the end of the week, Price is still gone. Ghost keeps the pink bag of Snickers on him during training. Like it's just another part of his kit.

One or two mini snickers get handed out every session. And nobody really notices at first. But the team starts moving differently.

They work harder. Smarter. More ruthless. More efficient. No one wants to be the guy who doesn’t get a Snickers.

Even the veterans sharpen their tactics. Gaz and Soap notice. But no one says a damn thing. If Ghost is going to give them snickers, then shut the gel up and let him give them snickers.

...

They're sent on a mission. High stakes.

They don't lose a single man. Not a single injury.

At the end of it, back on their transport home, Ghost pulls the pink danm bag from some unassuming pocket and hands out the snickers.

The men take them without question. They earned it.

But Ghost is running low. The bag nearly empty.

...

At the next training, Ghost doesn't hand out a single snickers. Not on purpose, but the bag is empty, so there's nothing left to do.

But the others notice. Gaz squints. Soap looks like a confused dog. Head tilt and all. The newbies glance at each other, shifting.

...

Two days later, Ghost swings his door open at 0600 sharp—and pauses.

Sitting just outside his door, neat as you please, is a bag of mini Snickers. Not the Valentine’s ones anymore. Just regular.

Ghost blinks. Hums. Pleasantly surprised, he picks up the bag, inspecting it briefly before stuffing it into his tac vest like it’s just another piece of gear.

He doesn’t think much of it. It’s a good snack.

At training, he does as he always does. Watches. Observes. Evaluates.

And then, without thinking, he tosses a Snickers at a recruit who clears a building faster than expected.

He snaps to attention as he catches it, eyes shining. Ghost does not question it.

The pattern continues.

And when he starts running low, Ghost finds a fresh bag of Snickers waiting for him.

Somebody—somewhere—has decided that the Snickers will not run out.

...

At training, at drills, in the field, there is a silent expectation. A new, unspoken rule. Do something exceptional? Get a Snickers.

The machine of the 141—the deadliest operators in the world—now snaps to attention at the crinkle of plastic.

They move with a ruthless kind of precision, bodies coiled, eyes sharp—waiting, anticipating.

Even Gaz and Soap are part of it now—though everyone refuses to acknowledge it outright.

But the moment Ghost hands one of his men a Snickers, he takes it.

Silently. Gratefully. Like a goddamn reward.

Ghost does not acknowledge this. Not out loud. But he keeps handing them out.

And they keep earning them.

They'd quite literally kill for a Snickers. (imagine what they'd do for an expensive piece of chocolate)

...

And then Price comes back three weeks later. He walks into the training area and pauses.

Something is off.

The unit is too sharp. Too focused. The newbies stand stock still in their group, as if waiting for something.

Gaz and Soap exchange a look. Soap refuses to meet Price’s eyes.

But he doesn't acknowledge it, until he begins unwrapping a plastic sleeve holding a new pen. The plastic is thick and loud. And half of their fucking head snaps his way. The hungry eyes of three dozen of soldiers latching on him.

Ghost, standing at the edge of the group, tears open a fresh bag of Snickers.

And now the entire fucking unit reacts. Subtle shifts in stance. Focused attention. Expectant silence.

Price squints. Frowns.

Ghost flicks a Snickers at a recruit. He earned it today.

The recruit catches it like it’s a holy offering and eats it immediately.

Price’s frown deepens. Slowly, carefully, he turns to Ghost. “The fuck did I miss?”

[tyrannosaurus-trainwreck]

Sorry, still not over Darcy critical-failing that proposal! Not that sorry, though. I have no idea why Pride and Prejudice hits so hard when most of Austen's other novels are like "They're fine! I like them! Anyway..." for me.

But, here's the thing. Darcy is being an asshole. Darcy isn't an asshole, generally, but he's really being one about his whole Regency Era situationship with Lizzie. Like, he rolls in on day one with this giant fucking chip on his shoulder, acts like he's too good for everyone, and why? Well, he's rich, and he's got lofty connections.

Except who's he rolling with right then? His spineless dustmop of a bestie and his bestie's godawful sisters. Bingley's the sort of guy who can be peer-pressured out of being in love!

Like, you know that thing where you have a friend, and they introduce you to another friend, and that friend is such a wet sock that you find yourself reevaluating your friend because they're hanging around with this guy? Like, okay, Darcy, do you have friends, or do you have toadies? Is this your bestie, or did you find a gentleman's companion that you didn't have to pay?

Later on we meet his aunt, who's the goddamned worst.

Like, we all hate Mr. Collins, right? This woman has Mr. Collins over twice a week for a quiet evening of performative dickriding. That's the kind of taste Darcy's family has. Voluntarily spending hours with Mr. Collins on a regular basis.

There's no talking about Mrs. Bennet's lack of decorum or matrimonial grasping or entitlement without talking about Lady Catherine flying in on her broom to scream at her nephew's fiancee, right? Especially considering that her basis for doing so is a cradle engagement that she seems to have never spoken to her nephew about as an adult and a fucking rumor that she assumes pertains to Lizzie.

She doesn't even talk to her fucking nephew before spending half a day in a carriage to make a blazing spectacle of herself in front of the entire Bennet household! He finds out she did that afterwards when she tries to make him break off the nonexistent engagement that she's announced to half the fucking kingdom by that point.

I mean, unexpected point to Mrs. B, who notably did not even walk down the road to Netherfield to act disappointed at anyone.

Also hard to get on too high a horse after Georgiana's near-elopement with the country's biggest asshole! Like, oh, the Bennet sisters are embarrassing? The Bennets lack propriety?

Buddy, you hired a sex trafficker to look after your sister and then your sister almost fucked the one-man-crime-wave son of your late property-manager. And you didn't even manage to hush it all up properly! Sure, he's keeping your sister's name out of his mouth, but he's running you down like a dog in every other respect to the whole county!

Like, "Oh, look at me, I'm Fitzwilliam Darcy! I'm not going to lower myself to correcting any of The Plebes who now think I deliberately misadministered a will to fuck over The Help out of cheapness and spite, especially when all it would take is one conversation with That Fucker's commanding officer, but god forbid I ever have to go out in public with a Bennet! I might die of shame and secondhand cringe!"

So he's got all of that going on, and then he busts in on Lizzie with a proposal that's got huge "I don't consent to being attracted to you" energy and runs her entire family into the ground. This is after Lizzie's spent approximately three centuries being negged by his mannerless nightmare of an aunt, so that's at least one extra level of "Really, bruh?" in there.

And then he fucking claps back at her rejection! Instead of going "Oh. Huh. Whoops. Guess I'll just have to go marry one of the other ten thousand women lined up waiting to marry me!" he's like "What the fuuuuck did I ever do to you, you fucking menace?". At which point she checks him so hard he spends the next three months bluescreening and looking up how to be polite to people you haven't already known for five years.

So like I said, he is being an asshole here. He knows how to act right, he just hasn't bothered to do so once since posting up in Netherfield because idk, he's on vacation or some shit.

Critically! However upsetting Lizzie finds The Proposal Incident (half-hour crying jag, spends the rest of the day hiding in her room), she is at no point worried about Darcy's subsequent behavior.

This is while she still thinks he genuinely did Wickham dirty and before she's had a chance to get character references from the 500 people working at Pemberley. This is the guy about whom her dad later says "Kidding-not kidding I can hardly say no to this rich fuck, can I?" when asked for his blessing. This is after Mr. Collins literally said "I've heard no means yes these days" to her fucking face and then her mother tried to make her marry him anyway.

She preached a full on sermon about the man's shortcomings to his face immediately after saying she wouldn't bounce on his dick if it was the last one on earth and after the adrenaline crash wasn't like, "Fuck. Fuck. Fuuuuuuuck my entire life, he's going to burn down the vicarage and frame my father for tax fraud."

Everything that she's seen with her own eyes about this snobby bastard tells her he's not going to go crying to his aunt and get her cousin's patronage revoked. He's not going to go out of his way to fuck her or her family over. He's pissed, and he was definitely playing the ass with that proposal, but he's not going to lash out over it.

So this is Lizzie seeing Darcy at Peak Asshole, with extra assholery that he didn't even do but he couldn't be bothered to tell anyone he didn't do, and Lizzie's still like "omg you're such a fucking prick, how do you even get out of bed in the morning" instead of "Well, RIP to my prospects, there's no way that man doesn't have the lot of us consigned to a convent by parliamentary decree now."
