#and he just goes ''welp. none of my business.''

[aroaceleovaldez]

I’m a bit nervous about sending an ask, but the curiosity has won me over, hope this isn’t too many questions

You said you headcannon Leo Valdez as dragon kin so I was wondering, do you think he has shifts often, if at all? If so, does he generally have some types of shifts more often or is it more balanced? And do the other campers and the seven know? If they do, did he tell them or did they piece it together on their own? If he told them, did he have to explain a lot or were they kind of just like “okay” and didn’t question it a lot? Like they just accepted it and didn’t want to overstep or something is what I mean

I think maybe I’m overthinking this, I really hope I’m not asking too many questions or anything

It's no worries at all! Asks/questions are always welcome!

I think his most usual shifts would be teeth/scales, but they're a lot more subtle so he either doesn't notice them as much or can ignore them. Those ones are probably semi-regular for him but again, more subtle most of the time (most of the time... every once in awhile he gets hit with a stronger maw shift and he's just sitting there gnashing his teeth at the air for like an hour cause his mouth feels weird until it goes away). Maybe also horns.

Less common ones for him but ones he'd notice more are probably wings, tail, and talons. Talons i mostly just think would be funny for him cause he has his habit of tapping his fingers as a stim. Him getting tripped up from the phantom talons while trying to stim, being confused for a minute about why his fingers aren't touching the table and he just ends up tapping out morse code into the air a couple inches above his desk instead. Wings and tail would probably just be pretty standard phantom limbs - they're just there and he's aware of them and maybe able to move them a bit. I imagine he'd eventually try to make some 'kin gear to help with those shifts specifically just so his brain stops error 404ing when his dragon limbs pass through solid objects despite his brain thinking they should be able to tangibly interact.

I don't think Leo would know what otherkin/alterhuman is when he first meets the Argo II crew, and probably wouldn't get the opportunity to learn about it for awhile. He doesn't really have the vocabulary to explain how he's feeling - just that he Is A Dragon. The rest of the crew probably also doesn't know what otherkin/alterhuman is either so they don't have an explanation for him, but, yknow, demigod life is already so goddamn weird, if Leo says he's a dragon that's not the most abnormal thing they've heard that week and they'll just take his word for it and accept it. And Jason probably understands the feeling re: being a wolf therian, even though he doesn't have the vocabulary to explain it either, so there's at least some solidarity there.

Earlier on I think Leo would just crack a lot of jokes about being a dragon, not particularly explaining how he feels about it to the others but just kind of putting the concept out there. He might try to explain it if the topic comes up but, as mentioned before, just struggle too much to try and find the words for it (the adhd/dyslexia/autism wording problems do not help there). I do like to think though that, due to their Hades/Pluto kid soul powers, Nico and Hazel would actually be able to pick up on spiritual-origin otherkin/therians/etc if they focused on it - Nico in particular, probably a lot more passively - and be able to kind of see phantom limbs/shifts sometimes (cause goodness knows how souls/spirit stuff works in the Riordanverse and I can have my self-indulgent silly alterhuman worldbuilding hcs if i want to - also at least partially inspired by some journal posts i've read of people mentioning people/animals/automatic doors picking up on their phantom limbs and being able to track the movement and stuff. if any demigod would be able to do that it's gonna be the kids with literal soul/phantom powers). I just find the concept amusing of Leo trying to explain this extremely metaphysical experience and Nico's just off to the side like "Oh yeah no, your soul is a dragon. Like, very literally. Dunno how that happened but good for you. btw why do you have ghost wings sometimes?" And Leo's grateful for someone helping him explain it but also isn't sure how he should react to statement. Eventually though one of the crew stumbles across alterhuman stuff - probably Leo or Annabeth, most likely accidentally through looking into daemonism stuff (you know they both read His Dark Materials) - and they put two and two together and finally have a means to explain it and Leo could not be more relieved (though he still doesn't know how to feel about Nico's soul comments).

I love rotating alterhuman demigods in my brain

fear or endearment | coryo snow x fem!reader

a/n: hello people of tumblr. yes, i'm getting on the train of writing for coryolanus snow (save me). he's just so writeable before the 10th games, i feel. after that i lose any touch with him, honestly, idk. bad man. welp! enjoy this little short blurb i thought of while i was at work yesterday (no connection, tho, just day dreaming). happy reading <3

warnings: none except snow's manipulative, calculating personality; this is pre-10th games snow btw

word count: 1,894

“you only like me because i bring you free stuff,” she says, her lips wearing a smile that holds the sadness of the half-joke she just made. it’s only an ironic way of saying the truth, and she thinks him a fool not to admit it. her hands get busy with carefully emptying the messenger bag full of food leftovers and pastries that the kitchen in her house deemed as unworthy for her family.

“not true,” coryolanus says with a gentle shake of his too-perfect head, eyes looking at her instead of raking over the gifts she’s brought. they’ll keep him and his family away from hunger for a week at least, if they plan carefully, “i like you regardless of that.”

she shakes her head with more conviction. it’s one thing to lie to himself about it, it’s another to tell the lie to her face. her face that has seen the brutal truth in people, her eyes that can see through any facade. it’s the reason she doesn’t watch television unless she absolutely necessarily has to – the facade built up around the ugly truth makes her sick to her stomach. “oh, yes, and my dream is to become a peacekeeper.” her sharp tongue responds.

coryolanus considers her words and the sarcastic look on her face, the faint grin she wears. he doesn’t like being confused, and yet she makes him feel that way very often. sarcasm is her companion in every conversation, and coryolanus suspects he might be one of the only people in the world she shows her bare soul and heart to, and even then she shows very little. her rebellious nature, though, is what makes him worried for her. sometimes he thinks he ought to follow her in her ways, even though it wouldn’t be easy. it would also be going against everything he’s fought so hard to have, and would continue to fight for.

coryolanus shakes his head in confusion, his cheeks blushing just the faintest tone of pink and curls trembling along with his head movements. she laughs fruitfully at knowing she made him confused, her head hanging back for a moment. she closes her bag, its contents emptied on coryo’s kitchen table, and looks down on them. “i know you wonder why i say things like that,” she looks up at him again, and coryo nods, his lips bit back in a faint smile, “can’t help it. must be some security mechanism in me, to joke or draw irony in serious matters.” she shuffles herself onto the table’s surface, now getting the view of coryo in front of her instead of having to wring her neck around every time to just look at him standing beside her. coryo nods again and smiles wider. “sometimes i want to shut up, but i just can’t seem to. and that tends to get me in trouble quite a lot. you know that well.” 

ah, yes, her rebellious nature that gets in the way of her education and reputation up-keeping. he might just be her only friend at school, because no one wants to associate themselves with such a rebellious girl as her. sejanus has been nice to her, but coryo guesses he lacks the courage to talk to her. coryo makes a grin and takes a step closer to her. her genuine eyes find his again and she searches them for some bit of truth. it’s hard for most people to guess what he’s thinking, but not for her. “i like you for that,” coryolanus tells her, and she furrows her eyebrows because by looking into is eyes she knows it’s the truth that he’s telling.

“hmm,” she just hums in surprise, “i know it upsets you, too. and that you worry about me, and that’s why you get me out of trouble, even if you don’t have to. you and your perfect attendance and grades, perfect attitude.” she counts off, and it almost sounds like she despises him for all these things. coryo shakes his head, eyelids fluttering while looking at her still.

“you of all people know how imperfect i am,” he says, “look where i have to live,” he gestures around the kitchen. but her smile drops, “it’s almost nothing compared to your place.” 

“where we live doesn’t say much about us,” she responds, “so many people at school think i’m this spoiled princess of the capitol living in my great mansion with mother and father.” she rolls her eyes. “only thing perfect about me are my grades, and even they are being pulled down because of my attitude.” she sighs. coryo nods, understanding, and stays close to her. “i’m really a rebellious child whose parents hardly have patience for. it’s not like i try to get into trouble, it just so happens that my opinions don’t go well with everyone else’s. i know i’m not the only one, but i might be the only one with guts to say those opinions.” she shrugs. “you know that associating with me can get you into trouble, too.”

coryo nods. “but it hasn’t this far,” he responds with a kind smile as the two of them look at each other. she wishes she could respond with a smile half as true as his current one, but her character has been beaten down. her eyelids flutter and she looks down at her hands. 

“why do you get me out of trouble, then? why do you worry about me?” she asks quietly. “we both know you shouldn’t.” 

“you don’t believe me when i say it,” coryo says, reminding her of the beginning of their conversation. she looks up at him again, chin raised. he’s wounded by her disbelief. 

“what?” she asks in half a whisper. coryo tilts his head, his facial expression saying that his answer should be obvious. his hand hesitantly reaches out to hers in her lap, gently coating her intertwined palms. she’s almost forgot how to breathe. he’s never touched her hands before. it’s always a hand at the small of her back, on her shoulder, arms around her. never the hands. it almost seems like he was saving them for... something.

“i like you,” coryo says just as quietly, hand over hers and eyes looking at her, this intense emotion suddenly between them in the air, “not just for the free stuff. it’s the depth of your heart and kindness,” one i know i’ll never have, “and your courageous nature.”

she smiles. “you have courage, too, coryo,” she tells him quietly, and finds herself lost in him now that he’s so close to her. his ice-cold heart warms at her using the nickname for him. she intertwines their fingers now, raising the formed knot higher between them, so that it would enter their line of vision. coryo looks at it, and his heart lurches in his chest, making him feel nearly on the point of fainting, “you do,” she says again, “you just need to... channel it in the right direction.” she utters in a the quietest of whispers. 

coryolanus doesn’t dare a make a noise even though his throat is dry and he needs to clear it, but he fears anything louder than a whisper might ruin everything, even his heart feels like it’s hammering too loud in his chest, “like this?” he asks in a faint voice, and she furrows her eyebrows at the weird question, but doesn’t get to doubt it because coryo is pressing his lips to hers, adding even more value to their moment together. 

for a person who is always able to calculate things to come, she is surprised because this she didn’t calculate at any point. but she’d be lying if she said she hadn’t waited for him to do this, to take a next step, for at least a few weeks now. her courage faded away any chance she had to do the same, to be the one who takes the first step. 

she grips his hand between them even harder, and her other hand goes to cradle the side of his face, but after the first few kisses their hands untie and she uses both of hers to hold his face, while coryo is too shy to touch her. she pulls away, both of them out of breath, and they look at each other. stunned. thrilled. without words to say about what they just did. 

“yeah, like that,” she finally breathes in response, always having something cheeky up her sleeve, “only...” she takes both of his hands in hers and places them on her waist, where they fit nearly like a magnet. coryo breathes a quiet sigh of relief, it was where he thought of embracing her, but somehow lacked the guts to do so. looking at each other, she nods at him and coryo makes a small smile. “i know you like me now,” she says quietly, and coryo even chuckles, “you wouldn’t be so nervous about me otherwise.” 

he nods, succumbing to the defeat of her cracking him, and stands between her legs that dangle off the side of the table. his hands on her fit right in place, both of them feeling that they’re always meant to be there. “sometimes, uh...” coryo shakes his head, a little nervous to say what he wants to, but she urges him on with her hand on his cheek serving a comforting touch, and he blushes when he looks at her, “sometimes i don’t know if i like you or i’m scared of you.” he admits.

it makes her laugh out loud, as if it was the most ridiculous thing she’s ever heard someone say. her head hangs low, and then rests against his chest once her laughter has started to subside. coryo feels embarrassed that he admitted that now, but he wraps his arms around her nonetheless. he knows she means no harm. 

she looks up at him, hands on his chest, and gets real close to his face again, “you better figure it out real soon, coryo,” she tells him, “i don’t want to be with someone who’s scared of me. i want them to be with me because they like me.” she says truthfully and coryo nods. he’s never really been around a girl or woman who’s made him feel like she has. it’s hard to explain, but her rebellious nature, her unpredictability are what scare him, but also what endear her to him. make him like her so much. makes his heart jump out of his chest when she speaks against a professor or simply flees a classroom. 

“i like you,” coryo assures her, “and i’m glad you want to be with me, too.” he says and they smile at each other. she nods at him and leans into his chest into a long embrace neither of them really want to get out of. 

coryolanus is scared of the consequences of her actions, scared for where it will make him end up. but life with her has colour. he doesn’t exactly want to give that up because he might get in trouble. he finds a way out of it with his wit and charm, anyhow. whatever problems she could get him into by being herself he can easily get out of, so maybe taking risks isn’t that deadly of a thing. not for her.

cupid!jungsu x human!reader (they/them prns) • 0.6k

romantic; fluff, s2l

[ yn is one difficult aim but they know how to flirt so its okay , cupid falls in love at first sight trope ]

back to suite

jungsu had never found his job hard. well... until now.

by some weird coincidences, jungsu's target of the day keeps missing his arrows. not once or twice, but precisely twenty three; he counts, yes, he's furious, yes. suddenly ducking to scratch their heels, sliding their body to the side to show off a dance they just learned to their friends, a vehichle passing by right as the arrow nears, and the list goes on.

all those arrows could have been used for two full days but some lame person named y/n decides that they get to waste all of that on them. and even in ways that are just too good to be true? like what do you mean a person littered a sandwich wrapper and another slips on it like they're in some cartoon and their bag flew and received the arrow instead?

it felt like a whole crowd is pointing and jabbing at him doing his job "poorly" when it's not even his fault in the first place! argh! isn't jungsu the one playing fate right now? why is some bastard giggling and jumping as if everything is okay?

and there again it goes, by sick chance, as if you heard him mocking you, your eyes are suddenly meeting his.

thump.

the cupid managed to follow you to the park, heaving a sigh of relief at the lack of distractions and people. if he ignores the fact that you're talking to yourself out in the air, everything should go smoothly now.

he gets back into his shooting position for hopefully the last time that day. you're sitting on a bench, facing right in front of him, all that's left is to shoot straight, this should all be easy. he's done this thousand of times. he waits for the wind to die down, for the birds to chirp less, for you to stop flapping your hands around and releases the arrow.

except there's a shriek from your mouth from the sudden wooden texture in your palm.

are you fucking kidding me? of course you just had to raise your fist at the same time, the hole formed prior to your fingers curling into a fist had perfectly caught the arrow. really now? what kind of sick twisted destiny is this? can you even call that a coincidence anymore?

you inspect the thin long item in your hand, head lifting only to fix your gaze on jungsu. he watches as you take in the large white feathers peeking from his back, the golden accesory he adorns on his head, the bow now held loosely by his side, and finally his face again.

it's quiet for a moment before the corner of your lips quirk up into a grin, "you're not from here are you, cutie?"

he ignores the stammering of his heart at the nickname, "none of your business." "right," you trail off as you hold out the arrow, "now what do i do with this?" and it takes jungsu exactly two steps closer to you when the arrow turns greyish and dissolve into particles. perplexed, you throw off the whole thing as it completely evaporates.

eyes widening at the scene, you turn to the winged creature, "is it supposed to do th—" "you werent supposed to catch it in the first place", he rolls his eyes, biting back from calling you stupid. nodding slowly, more to yourself, there's a silence that follows before you stand. "welp, there goes your arrow.

maybe you can try again tomorrow."

'that's not how it works' is what jungsu wanted to say but then you send him a wink, walking away with your sweet laughter ringing in his ears. he can't decide if your voice or his heartbeat was louder that day.

Hi! Can I request a fic where Leo and Donnie accidentally swapped bodies and try to hide it from the fam, but Mikey and Raph find out while tickling them after hearing Leo's laugh coming from Donnie's mouth and vice versa?

I thought it'd be fun to see how the twins would react to experiencing each other's ticklish spots firsthand.

Switch-iation

🎂: ROTTMNT

🧁: Leo, Donnie

🍫: Mikey, Raph

Summary: when the twins wake up in each-others body’s(probably because of one of Donnie’s experiments), they try to hide from their brothers. That doesn’t end well for them.

A/N: thanks for the request! I wasn’t sure why their voices would sound the same but the laugh would be different so I didn’t explain it lmao. I’m also really happy with this title. Cause like, a Situation (or I like to say ‘sitiation’) but switching? Get it? Okay I’ll shut up now.

Not really a TW but just a warning/info: To avoid confusion, Donnie and Leo will be referred to by who the mind is from the twin’s perspective, and who the body is from Mikey’s and Raph’s when they don’t know what’s happening.

TW; some swear words

Switch-iation

Leo woke up and stretched, getting out of bed and shuffling to the bathroom, not taking in his surroundings. He pulled out a toothbrush and stood in front of the mirror to brush his teeth.

But, it wasn’t him in the reflection. It was Donnie.

“What the fuck.” He whispered to no one. But his voice didn’t come out, Donnie’s did.

———————Meanwhile———

Donnie woke up, stood up, and went to grab his battle shell before going into the bathroom.

‘Huh. I can’t find it, it’s usually right here.’ He thought, deciding to get up and look around. It then he noticed something.

‘Wait a second… this isn’t my room. why would I be in Leo’s room? As far as I know I don’t sleep walk.’

As much as he hated to think it, he had an idea of what might be happening. So, he frantically ran into the bathroom, and looked in the mirror.

….fuck. This is the one and only time he will be upset that he was right.

“God damn it” he whispers. It’s Leo’s voice.

Welp. He better go find Leo. In his body. ‘Sigh. It’s going to be a long day’

—————————

Leo was pacing in Donnie’s lab. He had locked himself in, with the hopes that none of his brothers would notice.

He heard a knock on the door.

“Uhh..” his- no Donnie’s- voice was unsure at first. “I’m a bit occupied!” He called , trying to sound like Donnie being annoyed rather than himself being confused and maybe a bit scared.

“Hey, Donnie. It’s me, Leo” his own voice rang out with emphasis on the names.

Oh, it must of been Donnie, in Leo’s body. He didn’t think about the fact that Donnie must’ve gone into his body as well.

Leo let his brother in without a word.

“Here. I brought you this.” Donnie said, handing Leo his battle shell. “It’ll be suspicious if the others see it in my room, I always wear it.”

“Okay.” Leo responds, putting on the Battle shell. (He watched Donnie do it enough times that he knew how)

They decide together that it would be a good idea to hide until this wears off.

That plan goes well for exactly five minutes before shit hits the fan.

Another knock sounds on the door. It’s Raph.

“Hey, Donnie , breakfast is ready.”

Donnie nudges Leo, ‘you have my voice, Nardo’

‘Oh, yeah’ they trade thoughts.

Leo calls out, “No thank you! I’m busy in here!” A lot more confidently than he had before.

“I know Leo’s in there, and I am not allowing you to plan world domination together! Come on!”

Donnie, as much as he hates to, knows he has to act like Leo in order to not raise suspicion.

“How are you gonna stop us?” He calls, adding Leo’s classic smug lilt to his voice. It’s strange hearing it without the classic Leo Smirk (tm)

“I will break this door down. Out. Now.”

“Ugh, fine!” Donnie shouts, before lowering his voice and turning to Leo.

“Okay, new plan, we try to act like eachother while eating breakfast, then we go back to hiding.”

“Good idea”

The two of them unlock the lab and walk out, Donnie trying to display Leo’s confidence in his walk. To be honest, the king mask tails are bothering him to the extreme, but he has to hide it or they’ll be found out. Leo , meanwhile, is attempting to show Donnie’s indifference.

As the boys eat breakfast, Raph starts to get suspicious. Leo keeps making uncomfortable expressions whenever he moves, And Donnie keeps looking like he actually want to pitch in the conversation before he looks back to his phone.

Mikey is in a similar boat.

So, while the twins are arguing(that’s totally in character for the both of them) the other two conspire.

“Something is totally up with Leo and Donnie, right?”

“Oh yeah. Somethin’ alright. Maybe they’re hiding something?”

“Yeah. I have an idea of what we could do to get them to talk.” Mikey smirks

Raph smirks back.

They both stand up and walk over to one of the twins. Raph takes Leo, Mikey takes Donnie.

“What are you two doing?” Donnie asks.

“You guys are hiding somethin’!” Raph exclaims,

“and we’re gonna find out what it is~” Mikey continues with a sing-song.

With that, the two of them start digging into each twins respective worst spot(well, second worst for Donnie, as he was wearing his battle shell)

‘Oh, that’s usually not so bad for me!’ Bith twins think. There spots have switched too! It tickles so much! They can’t help it.

They both immediately start laughing! However..

‘Huh.’

Leo’s laughter is in high-pitched giggles, and Donnie’s laughter is in loud cackles.

‘They’re switched.’

Mikey and Raph both figure it out at the same time.

“You two switched bodies!” And stop abruptly.

“Heh. Yeah.” Donnie-no Leo- says.

“I guess we’re in a bit of a switch-iation!” Leo calls.

His laughter rings through the lair once more

Honestly, a lot of the day is spent mindlessly wandering.

Big chests!! I'll miss the stone ones' aesthetics, but big chests!!

We all went to bed early

Winter 5:

Bookseller is in town???

Cool pig had an Elliott Portrait, that's not weird at all

(apparently had an Alex portrait, too)

I go ahead and max out the ducks

then I go consume all the books at once

Kimi finds powdermelon seeds??

Winter 6:

After moving all my furniture, I get a bunch of renovations to my house. To be honest, I have no idea what to do with all this space, my place was already a little sparse.

Kimi dies in the volcano because she didn't bring food!

(Somewhere in here, I suggest EB take the lead on the Taro Root quest)

Wind in the night...

Winter 7:

The big tree! Noooo! —eh, it was only there a few days.

A little hardwood turns it into a cute little house, though

Turns out, I'm the only one of us cool enough to explore the mystery cave 😎

It's wine night, and I drastically underestimate just how many kegs I have

Winter 8:

There's always so much to do! —and yet I can recall almost none of it!

Ice fest??

Kimi is running late to ice fest, but no worries. ... okay, maybe some worries, I am anxious-typed.

Hey, whole bunch of new dialog!

Evelyn is worried it might be the last time she make a snowman with Alex. That's so sad!! (It's okay, nobody dies here)

Harvey froze his face

Clint is completely useless at making snowmen

KIMI CAUGHT DOPING IN THE CONTEST AND STEALS 1ST PLACE

(it's okay)

I call out how nobody noticed my literal clownshoes and then realized, “shit, I sound like Clint,” 100% clown behavior

Winter 9?:

non-canon day!!

possum gives us a snail

MAYO CHUG hang on let's try and get a picture

Kimi tries and fails to count down

I suggest using a bomb as a timer; when the bomb goes off, drink!

we are so bad at this

over 12 in-game hours and no mayo chug picture, truly phenomenal

A short session, but it's good to be back, and I'm looking forward to exploring more 1.6 content with my friends

[weekend-whip]

My brain has been starved of aftershock, finalfrontier, another ship content as of late. Give me your brain rot.

Welp, since it's the last day of May (here), and tomorrow begins Pride, I'll tell you that I've been filter feeding on an Aftershock mermaid au :V

Jesse is one-fourth mermaid—his mom is a half-mermaid, and his father is full human. He's still trying to figure out what scenario led them to get together, but he's not ever gonna ask.

Non-full mermaids can switch between having a tail or not by the "get wet get fins/get dry get legs" rule. Touching water will initiate a transformation; the speed of the transformation differs by individual/situation.

Jesse prefers to be on land, but mainly stays in the ocean due to his sister—an attack by fishermen caused her great injury, to the point that it's easier for her to remain as a mermaid than a human, so Jesse sticks around to keep her safe and protected and all that jazz.

He's also something of a siren, and loves to sing—not to lure anyone to their doom, just that he likes the sound of his own voice. However, he always makes sure he's absolutely alone when he does sing, because...well, he can't have some unsuspecting human catch wind of his irresistible notes. Bad times all around.

...this doesn't stop local ocean artist/musician Cole from overhearing Jesse one day, leading to him to constantly coming back to the beach to sketch Jesse singing on his little rock in the sun. Cole wants to talk to the mermaid, but like, you can't just talk to a mermaid.

Time passes and on a foggy morning, Jesse sings while a ship he can't see is passing by, with Miranda swimming not too far away. The ship turns out to be a fishing boat, and after hearing Jesse sing, manages to snare Miranda and Jesse in their net. Cole, just chilling on the beach when he suddenly can't hear Jesse anymore, realizes something's wrong and heads out to investigate.

He manages to free both mermaids without incident (haven't decided if there's a confrontation or it's a stealth mission) but either way Jesse goes feral over protecting Mira until Cole demonstrates he means no harm by freeing her from the net, followed by freeing Jesse too. Miranda reveals that they can at least understand one another and Jesse drags her away.

Couple days later, Jesse brings up some treasures and flowers from the ocean to thank Cole for the rescue with, and they finally start to talk and whatnot. Jesse reveals that he can turn human, and Cole...does not react as surprised as Jesse expected, but he's also okay with it (guess he's just that chill), so it's all good.

After that they have a bunch of "dates", with Cole showing Jesse some of the stuff he's missing on land, and Jesse telling Cole about oceanlife + making him some awesome seafood meals...however, Cole refuses to swim with Jesse. Jesse can't figure out why.

So yeah they get closer and Cole reveals that he first became aware of Jesse when he heard him sing, which freaks Jesse out because he think he's "hypnotized" Cole into loving him and proceeds to try and get away from him.

They meet again later, with Jesse explaining what he thinks must have happened...and Cole insisting that it can't be true. Jesse protests this until Cole grabs Jesse and jumps off the pier with him in his arms, plunging them both into the water.

...turns out Cole's been half-mermaid the whole time too, which is why he found none of this bizarre + how he handled the fishermen so easily + why he was always at the ocean to begin with yet never wanted to swim + he was immune to Jesse's song in the first place, confirming that he really did fall in love with Jesse for Jesse

Cole then dumps his whole lore about his mermaid mom being killed by poachers and how his dad tried to use his mermaid-ness to get into show business, driving Cole away from both his dad and the ocean. There's a whole thing here but I'm keeping it to myself in case I do write this one day ahahaaaa

But anyway, they're all happy that they can be together with no issue and they swim around and kiss and then maybe there's a sequel hook with Cole readjusting back to the ocean or something.

......haven't really thought about anyone else for obvious reasons lmao but I have very strongly decided that Jay is a blue octopus with yellow rings, and Jamie is a yellow octopus with blue rings. People get them mixed up and proceed to regret it.

Olivia, of course, is a shark. Haven't decided which Shark. Bridget is her annoyed narwhal sidekick.

Kai and Nya are also half-mer; Kai has a shark tail, Nya a dolphin tail. Have not decided what their situation would be; I just don't want go with the obvious routes :P

Zane, in a twist of irony, is a full human. He's Cole's confidant for Cole's life on land, and believes in Cole's "mermaid tales" because he's met one himself (Pixal).

idk what Lloyd's doing but he's probably some wildly poisonous form of half-fish. Even if he can transform there's always something creature-y about him snksnksnk

[roughandtumble-r]

It took me a while to finally do this, but Issue 50 is out, and I’m ready to talk about it! There’s a lot to cover here, so let’s jump right into it! Also, spoilers!

So both Sonic and Tails have been forced into fighting Surge and Kit, and while Sonic and Surge are getting ready to do so, Surge reveals what it is she’s planning on doing and why she wants to do it...

Surge is fully aware that her hatred towards Sonic is unwarranted because it was simply a false belief put into her head by Starline, but after thinking about it, she comes to the realization that none of this would have happened to her if not for Sonic. She’s really, REALLY upset that Sonic could have prevented her from losing her memories and has made mistakes and is still the world-renowned hero he is despite that, and it makes her realize that she actually DOES hate Sonic and wants to destroy him and everyone else even more now than she did before.

This goes even deeper a little bit later, but while this is going on, Starline takes control of one Eggman’s mechs, and the two begin fighting themselves...

Even after all that’s happened, Starline is still willing to let Eggman join him in his plan for world conquest. But Eggman? He’s had enough of Starline at this point and is ready to prove that he doesn’t need Starline to succeed on his own.

Also, Belle is still busy trying to fix Metal Sonic and eventually succeeds in doing so, only to find out by accessing his files that he can keep track of Eggman’s location, and the two set out to go find him.

Meanwhile, Kit is busy trying to defeat Tails, but while dodging his attacks, Tails becomes interested in Kit’s abilities and instead wants to talk to him...

Tails can tell that Kit doesn’t feel too good about himself, and Kit is also having a hard time making the decision to talk to Tails because he was programmed to always have Surge and Starline tell him what to do, but he eventually gives in and allows himself to tell Tails about Starline and how he feels towards him.

Tails then offers Kit to join him and the others in stopping Surge and Starline, but the mere idea of them stopping Surge from beating Sonic makes him stop listening to Tails and instead continue fighting him. 

Back to Sonic and Surge, Sonic is once again trying to talk Surge into changing herself for the better instead of fighting him, but Surge doesn’t see much of a point in doing so.

The two then continue fighting for a bit while Sonic continues talking about giving Surge a chance, and while this is going on, Starline has seemingly succeeded in beating Eggman with his Tricore.

However...

“So... how did you know I would use the cores to make the Tricore and use my glove to hypnotize you?”

“BECAUSE YOU JUST TOLD ME, PLATYPUS BOY!”

Also, after he defeats Starline, Eggman is met by both Belle and Metal Sonic, and Belle says one final goodbye to the man who was once her father...

Eggman gives Belle the choice to either continue hanging out with Sonic and the gang or work with him repairing his robots, but Belle of course declines his offer and begins making her way back to Sonic and Tails.

On her way out, however...

Welp, Starline’s dead. Don’t worry, give him enough time and he’ll come back, they always do.

Also, Kit ends up running out of water, and when Tails shuts off his backpack thing, he also somehow ends up knocking Kit out in the process.

While all of this is going on, Sonic and Surge have been fighting the whole time still, and it eventually leads to Sonic knocking Surge towards a hole and her just barely managing to grab the edge...

It’s okay, Sonic characters are immune to fall damage. She’ll be fine.

So Sonic, Tails (with Kit in tow) and Belle regroup and decide that the day is saved and it’s time for them to leave.

...actually, Eggman has other plans.

And that’s it for Issue 50! I honestly wasn’t expecting this Issue to be as loaded as it was, but I definitely had a lot of fun reading it and think it was a really good milestone Issue! I especially like the parts where we see Surge and Kit really let loose and let out their emotions that have building up since Imposter Syndrome, and I’m definitely interested to see where they both end up going in the following Issues. 

[cevansbaby-dove]

You’re so welcome! I also agree with @majaloveschris she stated great points as well! 👏

Like my previous post here stated…..it would so much better and calmer for the fandom if those claiming to have sources, just kept quiet until their “sources” actually confirm something, once confirmed they can post on their blogs and then we all sit, shut up and wait and when whatever it is happens…..boom, there’s everyone’s proof of which blogs are legit.

It would calm the fandom down tremendously. They can’t get mad at fans for jumping to conclusions based on the hoopla they are providing with NO EVIDENCE!

If people knew about Walmart, that could’ve been shared without giving away Chris’ location. All they had to say was Chris has something coming up and we might get an appearance…..see it gave nothing away. Then when he popped up at that Walmart conference we would have been like….okay, okay we see you guys do know something.

Instead it was “we already knew”. 🙄

All people with so called sources are doing is adding unnecessary drama and if we call it out, they block you or get pissy.

We had nice content yesterday that no one….once again knew was coming and now the fandom is riled up at the possibility of more crap happening despite Chris saying he likes being alone.

We have it down to this….. he either hates this girl, loves her, tolerates her, etc.

As fans with nothing but speculation……everyone w/ sources has “evidence” that feeds into whatever we choose to believe.

So please take everything and everyone with a grain of salt.

If people yell at you for asking simple questions…..there’s your answer…they don’t know crap.

If people claim to know things AFTER the fact…..welp.

If people’s are sharing chris’ complete whereabouts or every freaking detail of his life….they don’t have sources, they have stalkers.

If people claim it’s none of your business or claim they don’t want to give away Chris’ personal information and how we’re not entitled to it….I completely agree and then my question goes….then why the hell are you on tumblr giving away info about him.

If people claim to know something but says they can’t share but then comes back and shares a boat load…….*coughs* engagement rumors *coughs*

Look for those who share without giving away too much and don’t argue, look for those who aren’t saying “if we’re wrong”, look for those not arguing with the fandom or posting about the “possibilities” or maybe, etc. Look for those not gloating nor on any pr vs real bs crap.

Edwin Jusino on Twitter said this was PR, many claimed he was trolling BUT he replied to a few people and then went about his business and hasn’t talked about Chris nor Alba since. He stated the v day dump was coming without saying what it was and boom it happened. Everyone can believe whatever they want but when you know things 100%, you’re not wasting time arguing or yelling at an entire fandom!

Regardless of what’s about to happen or not happen…..we’ll soon find out at the same time the general public does.

I’m over everything and I’m tired of all individuals who know damn well they don’t know shit and have no sources yet continue to spread drama to the fandom for their own sick entertainment. I’m also sick of those getting info from wherever claiming this man is engaged with no actual proof and acting like they know a wedding is happening…….regardless if true, that’s not your place to give away. Simply saying “I have info they are real and you all will find out in September would have been enough”.

To anyone with legit sources and are taking the time to share, thank you and please don’t share things until you have actual confirmation from your sources, then as stated before, people can choose to believe whatever they want but when the thing you said will happen….finally happens the precise way you stated, fans will calm down because now they have evidence you’re not lying. It’s as simple as that.

You cannot get mad at this fandom for questioning anything if you don’t have any proof, period! Like I previously stated you don’t have to give away sources or Chris’ personal information, but you can share things in a way that protects the source and Chris and then ignore people calling you a liar and watch them go 😯 when what you said will happen, happens. It’s not rocket science. You may have a legit source, but this fandom doesn’t know who the hell you nor the “source” are.

If anyone can direct me to anyone with sources who actually had legit knowledge of something happening that no one else did, then that’s who I’ll keep my eye on….somewhat.

Everyone Please take EVERYTHING with a grain of salt. Alba is a troll and so are many in this fandom. Be safe and smart people!

gremble watches a hexer: episode 3

So this is the episode in which Geralt meets Renfri, and the vibes are very different from TWN.

It really changes their dynamic to have him be brand new on the Path, and for Renfri to be, in essence, his first extended interaction with a human. He's still trying to figure out what humans are like, he clearly wants to be able to put people in neat boxes -- but there's Renfri complicating the narrative by being undeniably a victim, but also eager and willing to immediately turn around and become a villain in her own right.

It also changes their dynamic that none of Geralt's decisions re: Renfri are motivated by wanting to fuck her. (I'm pretty sure he doesn't, anyway.) Like, she makes that play, when she's looking for a hook that’ll give her a way to control Geralt -- same way we saw her make that play with the thugs planning to kill her in her introductory scene -- but there’s no sense that it’s motivated by desire, just cold calculation.

(And when Geralt's like “uhm, no,” she taunts him and asks if he's incapable of it. She's not a nice person.)

There's no guarantee that they won't fuck later, because compulsory heterosexuality, but she is definitely not being set up like a love interest.

She's quite unlikable in this, and I get the impression that she's supposed to be—that you can pity her, to be sure, because she has indeed been wronged, but she's not a sweet and blameless “ideal victim.”

idk, it's just interesting.

*

FROM THE TOP!

*

Not a fan of threats of sexual violence being used as a plot device, but good on this girl for straight-up stabbing the dude!

(I assume the girl Geralt rescued is Renfri, since the dudes claimed she was a mutant before he killed them.)

*

Hm, and here is Vesemir telling Geralt he shouldn't have stepped in to kill the would-be rapists: “And if there were witnesses to this, what would they think of a crazed witcher cutting down half a dozen people?”

Foreshadowing for Blaviken, much?

Vesemir is ~banished~ from Kaer Morhen, wot? How does that even work? Seems like if you did something bad enough to get “banished” it would be bad enough that they wouldn't trust you on the Path anymore.

*

lol these subtitles are calling the path “the route,” which doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

*

Not really a fan of Renfri's actress or characterization in this one, she comes off like a spoiled child.

...A very mercurial and manipulative child.

*

Hah, I like that Roach has been trained to ignore commands from non-Geralt people. That vibes with my headcanon for why he likes Difficult horses.

*

...lolol okay I did enjoy the bandit jumping out to try to scare them, and then Renfri just bitchslaps him.

Renfri: TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER.

Bandit: I--

Renfri: SILENCE, YOU FUCKING SWINE, I TOLD YOU TO TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER.

Bandit: ...yes ma’am. 😞

*

100% A+ that Geralt carries his saddlebags with him when he goes into town! Yes! As he would! Same as you don't leave your purse sitting your unlocked car!

*

PFFT.

Hooray for Geralt saving a dryad from a basilisk or whatever, after she'd been shot with an arrow!

Oh no the arrow was poisoned!

It's okay, Geralt will suck the poison from the wound!

...It is awkward that she got shot in the tit though.

*facepalm*

It doesn't feel that sleazy, because Geralt doesn't feel sleazy—he's quite utilitarian about the whole business—but that is still a Choice someone made.

*

Oh no, Geralt is about to look “”hideous”” from taking his potions!!

Will it be less of a cop-out than TWN???

Answer: not in the slightest, he just looks like he’s on MDMA.

*

I do wish they would stop trying to force love interests on Geralt every episode, especially since they are developed so staggeringly shallowly, and we all know they're not sticking around anyway.

Also this actress looks VERY, VERY YOUNG, like, that is a child young, like, that could be a boy-child young, because they look the same pre-pubescent.

*

lolol Queen of the Dryads looks like Scully in camo facepaint. Welp, no one better for the job!

*

“I am a witcher, a mutated human. We are not allowed to love; maybe we cannot.”

THIS IS THE KIND OF CONFLICT I'M HERE FOR, BABY. 😎

*

lol I do like the “mama with a shotgun” vibe for the dryad queen. Like, Yes thank you for saving my girl, I appreciate it a lot, and now you are going to let her down gently, and you are going to leave. 🙃🙃🙃

*

The subtitles have definitely gotten better, and despite the excruciatingly tedious compulsory heterosexuality, this episode was a lot livelier than the previous episodes. Would recommend starting with this one, I think. You really don't need any backstory from the first two.

[vision-bound-muse]

More Kuki HC things: Not verse specific, just things that lurk or 900+ words of Rene rambling. This is a long post.

I hate the fact that is game is so vague, while simultaneously dropping small trauma bombs.

Her entire reason for leaving home is “I didn’t want to be a shrine maiden.” I… really think it goes deeper than that. I get that it is partially cultural, but even considering that it still doesn’t sit quite right. She says she got stuck in Inazuma when she went back to visit family but given the reaction to her seeing her sister. I really don’t think that’s quite true either and was just an answer provided to keep nosy travelers out of shit.

Kuki’s story quest really made me hate the Traveler and Yea on her behalf, that’s a ship that’s never going to happen here. I would be hard pressed to call it friends even and verges on a level of disrespectful behavior I have a hard time thinking she would be okay with… Getting.off.topic… If it was simply just about the shrines, there should have been a stabbing. (tbt it should have been a stabbing period).

Sdkfgsh

The mask was presented as a way to prevent people from recognizing her as a shrine maiden, (and also intimidate tf out of people) buttttt again half-truths, and she is hiding from her family. It is also a visual representation of that wall between her and everyone else.  

Shit only hinted at, again. I have thoughts, but I don’t want to linger in this headspace for too terribly long. TL;DR there are scars. Hence, Fortress Shinobu. She cares about Itto, that much is obvious, but he is very much kept outside those walls like (almost) everyone else she comes in contact with.

There is Shinobu and Shinobu presenting. They are both her to a degree, but really in? That’s specific to Caelus right now, thus discord thoughts for Jace along with some other things.

Less specific and mere rambling of theory crafting. Sorting, acclimating, expanding and so on. My brain is a pingpong ball, truly, which is why I dump these things here.

When I write her I get the general sense she feels like she does not fit in anywhere in Teyvats verse. Stuck kind of feeling… just there because she has nothing better to do than study look after a hand full of idiots. Which should feel like family but fuck it’s just not and its empty and forced. It’s babysitting in the true sense of the word, and I leave that bullshittery at the doorstep of Hoyo, flaming. You gave this girl a machine for a brain and ambition for centuries to leave her… a.fucking.babysitter. There will be none of that on this blog, she is a person with desires, and we will be putting that pretty brain and ambition to good use.

Direction: She will play up the responsible professional girl act because she full well knows that is what is expected of her and it is business. It has been drilled into the core of default Shinobu operations, but she is a rebel at heart. This girl is a runaway and the defacto leader of a gang which she has used to facilitate light organized crime.

To further, she is a Consigliere equivalent minimally and she is quite happy with this. Thus we will lean on that heavily in a less babysitting way and more of an I actively want to be doing this way. Seperate from the gang, because welp, that’s just done. There is just no room for growth there.

Problems? From subtle to brutal, it will be taken care of. She will use this to protect and provide for those she cares about, but also to quietly stir the pot. Bad little fingers there. This also speaks to some of the more negative aspects of her personality, a lot of interactions being very transactional. It is business, and she does look at it entirely as business at times. Additionally, it lets her have these special interest in a meaningful way beyond just a gaggle of lunatics. She will look to build her own little empire.

Knowledge: Varied per verse, but she is a quick learner and is going to look for things which can be useful from a problem-solving business aspect. Due to the force that is Itto and her mechanical role she field medic + she’ll quietly pull those bullets and patch you right the fuck up. Lawyering, given canon. The rest is tucked in that has nothing to do with her as a person and is just there to say she is smart without showing that she is smart. God bless you, Hoyo (in every sense of that southern fucking phrase).

Morally gray pumpkin: Kuki has her own rules. She is likely not going to stand for injustices or bullying. As she is self-sacrificing to a degree of insanity, she does not like to see people suffer without cause, being on the opposing side of that will probably be met with violence. With that being said, she is not above doing shady things if the job calls for it but do take care to make sure one is in the right before requesting her services as she is not going to have any issues turning shit right back around on people.

Personality and other junk: She likes a challenge, to be specific people that challenge those walls (or you know, just bulldoze right the fuck over them), and she does like it when people playfully mess with her. Earn that trust? She will give you unspeakable loyalty, but she also does not give up ground easily at the same time.

Society is dumb, expectations equally dumb. She is headstrong and aggressive, but not immune to reason and likes to be the one in charge.

What she is looking for is home and acceptance. Simple, seeing as she is very independent.

All things considered; this is what I want her to find.

[thebrideoftiffany]

king steve au

eddie and henry are acquaintances (idk henry buys weed/single cigarettes from him) but they’re friendly enough for them to joke with each other and Steve’s sees this and corners eddie and questions eddie about everything who what when where and how does he know about henry and eddie recognizes the look on steves face when hes talking about henry and hooooooo boy he gets cocky cus EDDIE KNOWS MORE THAN KING STEVE COULD EVER IMAGINE ofc he doesnt help him in anyway at least not easily anyways skips ahead steve and eddie make a deal eddie helps him get into the in with henry (steve thinks hes a mystery and is amazed by henry when really hes just a quiet kid whos minds his business) but when helping steve eddie also falls for henry so theres this like secret love triangle happening and henry hasnt a single clue that hes in it he just thinks “my god arent those two some weirdos anyway-“ STEVE DOESNT EVEN KNOW HE HAS A CRUSH ON HENRY HE JUST SEES THAT HIM AND EDDIE ARE CLOSE (not really) AND THAT JUST MAKES HIS STOMACH AND CHEST HURT ok i think im done

anon i am OBSESSED. i love this so much. you totally nailed the dynamic i always think of if steve got a crush on henry in high school: he’s a total fascinating enigma to him but all henry really does is be nice and keep to himself. and that steve doesn’t even fully understand what’s going on, just that he wants these awful feelings to stop, and he’s pretty sure henry’s the only one who can make them go away

eddie lording his (actually quite limited) knowledge about henry over steve’s head as payback for him being a douche for all of high school. getting steve to help him with campaigns or some other shit not because he needs the help but because he wants to fuck with him a little if he wants to know henry’s smoking preferences (that’s all he’s really got) and he knows king steve would rather die than anyone to know he’s been helping eddie the freak with his nerd game

eddie letting steve come over to his trailer when he knows henry is going to come buy, which leads to eddie witnessing the most uncomfortable interaction of steve having just no idea how to talk to henry and trying to impress him but henry’s confused to what he’s even trying to say, so eddie jumps in to wingman but surprise! he sucks at that too. so it ends with henry leaving with his weed and utterly baffled by what just happened and steve and eddie not even knowing where to go from here.

and then eddie’s got a crush too and now there’s a competition and eddie is the only of the three that actually understands what’s going on. henry just doesn’t even know its happening, he’s just noticed that steve and eddie are interacting more which is weird but none of his business, steve doesn’t fully understand why they’re trying to one up the other but one thing about him is that when there’s a competition he’s going to win. especially when it comes to henry

except they both suck so hard at it. everything they do backfires and leaves henry thinking their weirder than ever. or worse, that he wants nothing to do with them. and they’re quickly realizing that they’ve fucked it up completely with the guy they both like.

they finally both admit defeat, that henry is never going to be anything but a hot mystery they’ll never be able to attain beyond a few smiles and laughs, and so they truce and drown their sorrows together at a house party. then eddie goes to sell to the other partygoers but when he gets back he finds steve, made loose and genuine by the weed and shots he’d been doing with eddie, playing like darts or something with henry. and they’re both giggly and having fun and eddie’s like. welp. guess if it had to be anyone better it be steve. hope he figures out he wants his tongue down his throat soon

[ereborne]

I just noped out of a book because the main character’s big tragic backstory is that he’s a human who was married to a werewolf but then divorced her, and the pack that had previously welcomed him and which he felt was his true home cast him out as soon as he wasn’t married to a pack member, and so now he’s sad and all alone and has been for nine years. 

Leaving aside my kneejerk “what the fuck kind of wolf pack doesn’t keep all their pack members whether they started life as pack members or not, whether they’re still married to the Original Flavor packmate or not, once you make a person yours you do not let them leave what kind of wolf even lives in your heart even dogs know this, you keep your own that is the definition of pack what is wrong with you”--

This man has been alone for nine years.  Nine years, and you couldn’t make your own pack??  You’re supposedly a cop, you automatically have a pack, you have to have been putting real effort in to not have a pack, the tendency to turn into a snarling protect-our-own savage-the-outsiders pack is literally the biggest problem with cops here in our non-werewolf-filled real world I can only imagine (I very often do imagine) what it’s like in your wolfworld where you share scents and blood and magic with the others on your shift, how are they not your pack? 

His happy ending, from what I skimmed of the last three chapters with my lip curled, is marrying his ex-wife’s sister and getting in a knife fight with his then-and-now-again father-in-law and winning his place in the pack back.  He fucking deserves them.

💌 timestamp · AM 05:34 · 329 words · jaehyun x reader · fluff - new parents!au · warnings: none

gela says: this timestamp is based on this video on tiktok i saw;; 😭 i'm in tears because the lyrics of the song used goes so well on the vid 😩

edit: for anyone who wants to watch the video; here's the link to that adorable father & son 🥺

“why are you so cute and handsome at the same time, jiho?” jaehyun says in a soft voice, his fingers gently running through the baby’s soft cheek. “you have my dimples- but yours showed right away…”

you turned around to face the other side of the bed to feel your boyfriend’s warmth inside the chilly bedroom you two share however you felt nothing but his disarranged duvet. sighing, you opened your eyes to look for him. you saw jaehyun kneeling at the end of his side of the bed, your 2-month old baby, jiho was laying in front of his father with his eyes threatening to fall.

the baby coos as a response to his father, “oh no, we woke up mommy...” he said, but received a light kick from jiho.

“jae… it’s 5 am, why are you two awake?” you ask, sitting up to join the two of them.

“i woke up to drink water but i saw him awake, he wasn’t crying or anything… he was just staring blankly at the ceiling.” he answered, his eyes not leaving the infant. “i thought i’d spend a few minutes with him.”

you adjusted your position in bed, your back leaning against the headboard. a soft smile appears on your face as you stare at jaehyun and jiho. “jae, you’re enamoured of him…”

“he just looks so beautiful, y/n… i’m totally in love.”

you let out a chuckle, jaehyun's eyes were filled with hearts and love as he continued to run a finger through jiho's cheek. the infant was busy staring at the ceiling and kicking with his small legs, jaehyun wasn't done admiring his son. he nuzzles his nose on the baby's tummy, inhaling the remnants of a baby body wash which he loves the most and causing jiho to giggle to the ticklish sensation.

“he smells amazing-” jaehyun says, “oh no, wait”

“welp, it's daddy's time to shine! go and change his diapie.”

“ugh, i spoke too soon...”

Calum's POV

Who the hell are these people? It's a party for me and I know no one here. Fucking great, Oh yeah mate, trust me it's gonna be HUGE. You'll love it. This is the last time I listen to Ashton. Do I look like I'm fucking having a great time?

We need to get him a girlfriend. They all tell me I need to settle but I'm known as the lone wolf it never works with the lifestyle we have. Well somehow Luke and Michael make it work but to me it's exhausting.

"Aye mate, having fun?" I turn to see dyed hair and I know it's Michael.

"It's fine." I huff as someone shouts happy birthday once more. I see Roy across the way with some chick and he shrugs at me. I would've just preferred to go see Mali but she's always busy now. I just look at Michael while taking a sip of the beer in my cup I've been on this one since this shit of a party started.

"It could be worse you know? You could-" He's interrupted by Crystal who leans up and whispers in his ear he nods and begins to grab her hand. "We're gonna head out she's not feeling well." He gives me a sympathetic smile. "Happy birthday." is all he says when they begin to leave the room. Welp, there goes another friend.

I haven't seen Ashton since the party started and Luke definitely is getting it in with Sierra right now. Literally, all over each other, it's truly disgusting if you asked me. Deciding to move away from this wall I head to the kitchen to throw this drink away, taste watered down because of the ice. Pushing through the moving bodies and the lights everywhere, I dump that shit in the sink. Ashton comes my way trailing a girl behind him, "There you are! Y/n showed up?" I see the hair of a girl just talking to someone who's just come behind her.

Y/n has been around us for a while. I don't know when but our friendship started after we met at a party. She was waiting for Arzylea to join her when we started talking. Next thing you know she was a part of our inner circle. Not gonna lie, She's my favorite person in the group. Everyone thought that when Arz and Luke broke up, she would leave too but she's still here. And she keeps that group chat very entertaining shall I say. We've hung out a few times, with her it's different though. I don't feel the need to be THE Calum Hood bass player for 5SOS, she knew of me but cared more for the person I was. She asked questions even though she knew the answers. I just felt relaxed with her. As more people entered the kitchen, I go to the back porch where I don't see anyone. There are too many people and I don't even want to think about how to clean this up. Pulling a cigarette from the pack I just let the smoke fill my lungs and slowly exhale while leaning against the siding of the house.

"You know that's an awfully bad habit you have Hood." The familiar voice speaks, forcing me to open my eyes.

I chuckle, "Why aren't you enjoying the party?" I ask her.

"Come on you know that's not my scene." I nod silently agreeing. She looks stunning, the way her dress hugs her body, she's so effortlessly flawless. Most girls have to go through a tribal ritual to look as amazing as her. "Stop that." she laughs.

I shake my head slightly to remember what I just did. "Sorry I-I didn't mean to um yeah fuck." I stumble for words she just nods. "It's okay.'' she looks down and fumbles with her hands. It's cute how she does that, almost like she doesn't know she's the most beautiful person in the room. A harsh gust of wind pushes past and she shivers. I look at her and open my arms with my jacket she rolls her eyes but gets closer. Holding the cigarette with my mouth to free my hands I just pull her closer until I feel the warmth of our bodies touch.

"Thanks" She mumbles against my chest. She looks up at me before pulling the cigarette between my lips, just as I'm about to protest she takes a puff. Watching her smoke is by far the hottest thing I've seen, and I've seen Luke naked.

"Oh look who's punkrock now?" I smirk at her as she brings the burning toxin to my lips. Her laugh. Sounds like fucking angels I can feel her chest moving through my shirt. "Can I be in the band now?" She raises an eyebrow.

Dropping the small bud I just laugh along with her. "hEYYY I'm serious" she wines.

"Sure you are." I smile at her.

"No offense Cal but your party blows." She looks at the lights jumping on the hardwood of the deck.

"It's more of Ashton's," I admit. One hell of a birthday. She wraps her arms around my waist and places her head on my chest. "Happy birthday Cal," she whispers.

"Thank you y/n." I can feel my pulse in my throat. Being with her makes me so comfortable but yet I feel like I'm on fire. She gets me like no one else could imagine. I place my chin on the top of her head and just hold her. I don't want this to end. "Did Ashton invite you?" curious to how she showed up. In the group chat she said she had plans this weekend. I was really disappointed because if it wasn't clear enough I like her a lot.

"Something like that." She reaches for her phone and scrolls through her text. "From Ashton at 6:58 am," she begins to read slightly pulling away to look at the screen between us. "Hey Y/n! know you're busy this weekend but that doesn't matter because Calum likes you and won't admit it but it would be cool as lemons if you could show up." I'm going to fucking kill him. I hope he likes his ashes being burnt with that fucking lemon tree. She smiles at me and I feel like I could evaporate right the fuck here. Oh Ashton. I will kill you. The door next to us opens and some random guy comes out drunk as hell. "Oh h-hey you three," His burp interrupts him, "It's a great party in thheere"

As he stumbles Y/n goes to keep him upright, but his body has other plans. The foul smell that comes from the vomit projecting on Y/n is awful. He apologizes but quickly goes back inside wiping his mouth on his shirt. "Are you okay?" I ask her equally as shocked. Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment, I grab her hand without waiting for a response and drag her inside. After her many protest and looks from random people that can smell the bile on her, we make it to the stairs. There are too many fucking people here. Constantly pushing past bodies I know none of these bathrooms are cleared. I walk her down the hallway to my bedroom door when someone interrupts me. "Dude, I've been trying to get in there all night. It's locked. Complete dipshit of an owner right." He smirks reaching for a high five. I roll my eyes at his gesture and grab the key to open my door. His smirk fades into one of realization. He tries to apologize but I shut the door in his face after Y/n follows me inside.

I take off my shoes and she looks at me questioningly. "I have a bathroom in here you can use Y/n." as I relock my door. The last thing I need is for some stranger to come messing with my personal stuff.

"You shouldn't have-"

"Shut up. Some stranger just threw up on you. I would prefer to be in here with you than out there where I don't know anyone. Now go shower." She starts to argue but I just help shove her in the bathroom while closing the door. She knocks from the inside of the door, "Yes Y/n?" I smile at her playful banter.

"I need help. I can't reach the zipper" she says through the wooden door. I release the handle and nod. right she can't see me. Opening the door I walk in, "So your plan was to lock me in here?" She smiles looking through the mirror at me while moving her hair to one side of her shoulder.

"Not exactly, I was gonna kidnap you later." I grab the small zipper and begin to undo it. No wonder who the hell can hold this tiny thing. Once I get it down she thanks me. "Just throw it away okay?"

"But-" I stare at her and she agrees. Closing the door to let her shower. Clothes, she needs clothes. I walk into my closet and grab a t-shirt and her emergency bag. She came up with the idea since no one knows how to bring clothes anywhere we all have one outfit at everyone's place. Thanks to Michael she had to wear the outfit here, but her undergarments are still there.

I knock on the door and she's still in the shower so I leave the shirt and the bag on the counter in the steamy room. Walking out I take off the skinny jeans I'm wearing and change into sweats and a t-shirt.

So many options. Who ever came up with Netflix is a fucking genius. My phone buzzes next to me and I see Ashtons Name. A text, great!

From: Daddy 1:17 am

Bryana's here. Gonna go Catch up.

I just send him an 'Ok' because we all know they're still stuck on each other and there's no way in hell I'm going down there. About 20 minutes into big mouth Y/n walks out of the bathroom wearing the clothes I left for her. No one's ever looked that good in my shirt, shit I don't even look good in my shirt. "Thank you Calum" she quietly commented. "No problem." I pat the spot next to me and she climbs in the bed. I hit play on the tv remote as the show continues to play. I can't even focus on the hormone monster on the screen, this feels so fucking right. I feel her playing with my hand as she watches the screen intently. Her brow furrowing when she doesn't get the concept of Jay being a magician or the way her eyes crinkle when she laughs. I could literally just watch her all day. I mean I know she doesn't like me but I can't help but imagine what a relationship with her would be like. I don't want to jeopardize our friendship but this, this feels more important. It's just not fair I mean there's tour and I wouldn't want to be away from her that long if she were mine. I don't understand how she's single I mean look at her. And you don't find many girls with a personality like hers, she's so kind-hearted and the most humble person I know. When we were in Bali, everyone went to this pool resort and we thought she went missing for the day. But she returned home after visiting orphanages and helping at the village day clinic. I don't want to be selfish but I'll be damned if I let her go. I'm so thankful for that girlfriend of Luke's to bring her completely unbothered, outgoing, and amazing friend with her to that club in New York.

"Did you hear me?" The soft voice brings me from my thoughts. I look down at her "No what?" She starts laughing. I see a black screen on the wall and look at her quizzically. She raises her hands in defense "It's been off for the past 15 minutes." she shrugs. "You looked deep in thought." I just stay silent and look up at the ceiling. ''You can talk to me you know?" she whispers.

"Have you ever wanted something you can't have?" I ask. She chews on her bottom lip before responding.

"I suppose, I mean in regards to what?" but I cut her off, "Why'd you come tonight?"

"It's your birthday." she states clearly confused. "Ashton's text doesn't bother you?"

"I didn't think it would have to bother me?-"

"You had plans."

"You mean much more Cal." I let her words sink in. Did she like me the way I like her?or maybe she doesn't and I'm really hoping for something? No. This could never work. I don't do relationships.

"Do you wanna keep watching? " I ask her hoping she'll say yes.

"That was the last episode" she says as she turns to me a glimpse if hope in her eyes. "We can just talk Cal."

"I'm actually pretty tired." She nods, a small frown on her face as she goes and turns the light off. "Night Cal"

"Goodnight Y/n." I whisper before pulling her closer to me. I feel her muscles relax and soft snores escape her lips.

* * *

The sun in the room feels warm against my skin. Opening one eye I see the contract of the bright light against the walls. As I go to move the curtains I feel a warm presence next to me turn. Well, fuck me. Her shirt came up just the slightest to exposed her black lace panties to me and damn is it a sight. Look away. Look away. Look away.

Physically getting up from the bed she pouts and rubs her eyes. "Cal? " her slightly rasped voice speaks. "Yeah just closing the blinds. "

"Can you leave it just a tad. " she ask pulling the covers over her. "The soft light is nice. " I mean I can't say no. "Come here. " she demands and I get back in bed with her. "I should probably start cleaning soon. " I say as a line ass excited to leave the room. All I can picture is how good she looked in these panties and I need to take care of this soon.

"No you won't, since when have you cleaned? Plus I told you I'd help. " my dick is straining against these fucking briefs.

She softly traces random patterns into my skin as we just lay there admiring the room. "Cal" she mumbles.

"You've got an uh-problem. " the blood rushes to my cheeks as she notices my boner. "Sorry i-" I begin to excuse myself from the room hoping a black hole could appear. That would be great.

Surprisingly enough she pushes me to keep me in place. "It just occurred to me that I never got you a gift."

She runs her fingers over my manhood, "Can I make it up to you?"

"Y/n I don't think-" Oh fuck. My dick twitched at the sight of her removing my shirt leaving me speechless. The black lace that clung to her, which landed us in this situation, looked even better than before. "Um you -uh" I start mumbling trying not to look at her body for too long. I mean I could but I'd cum no question.

"It's either a yes or no?" as I was about to answer she started running her hand along the thin black lines. My eyes never leaving her hand as she teasingly rubbed her clit through the fabric. "You see Cal, I want you as much as you want me."

Fuck friendship. I replace her hand with my own to feel her. Fuck how long I've waited to do this. She pushes my hand away from her core while leaving open mouth kisses down my jaw. Licking my earlobe, she whispers, "You're the birthday boy."

She scoots further down the bed until her face is near my groin. This is a sight I could get used to. She slips her fingers in the band and starts pulling my briefs down. Her eyes light up once she sees my throbbing shaft. "You have such a pretty dick." Her thumb runs over my tip causing me to shudder and if possible made me harder. "Y/n you don't have to." My voice cracking a bit, why the fuck was I so nervous.

She rolls her eyes as she kisses my tip her tongue licking along the vein. She slowly begins taking me in her mouth, "Oh fuck y/n" I moan as she swallows around me, her hand pumping what she can't fit all the way. Her mouth is so warm and she's so fucking perfect. My head hits the headboard as my other hand laces itself in her curls as she bobbed her head along my length, letting every sound fall from my lips. Accidentally I pulled her hair which I was going to apologize for until she moaned. The vibrations that sexy ass sound I thrusted up. Fuck no I want to be in her.

"Y/n stop." She let her teeth graze my dick as she moved her mouth off of me. My stiffened member glowing with her saliva.

"I'm sorry this was a bad-" She started mumbling getting off the bed and fixing her hair.

"No!" I yelled surprised at my own tone. "I mean um you're great I just- I want to be in you." The redness on my cheeks very visible. She hesitates before sliding her panties off, "We don't have to I'm sorry I just thought that's where this was going and I-" She kisses me softly and I shut the hell up.

"Calm down, I was just thinking." She says straddling my lap removing her bra. "And before you ask what about well," she lines me with her entrance "It was whether I wanted a condom or not." Our moans are in unison as she slowly slides onto me. Feeling her tight walls stretch around me, her dripping arousal glistening in the soft lights of the sun. The whimper that came from her mouth as she takes all of me. "I'm on the pill and it's your birthday meaning you get the full experience." She says after a moment of her adjusting, sending a playful wink my way. She begins to move and I swear no one has ever felt this good. My hands find their way to her hips slowly rocking her back and forth.

"Fuck Cal" She whimpers as she begins to ride me. I move one of my guiding hands to find her sensitive nub, tracing small circles with the pad of my finger. She jerks back from the touch causing me to smirk, someone's sensitive. I place my thumb over her sensitive nub yet again rubbing back and forth eliciting a moan from her. “Cal I can’t-“ Grabbing her hair pulling her face closer to me, “ You can and you will, got it?” She whimpers nodding in agreement, “I’m not cumming till that pretty pussy of yours is pulsing.” Slowly grinding my hips up, grazing her g-spot with my tip. “Cal-fuck, this was supposed to be your gift.” Grabbing the back of her thigh slowly bringing her body closer to mine, I turn us so she’s underneath me.

“Go out with me and we’ll call it even yeah?” I ask her before continuing to thrust into her. Our moans fall in unison as I pick up the pace. Thrusting into her faster than the time before, the only sounds heard throughout are those of our moans and skin clapping together. My mouth finds its way to her neck, assaulting the soft skin in the area- leaving a reminder for this evening. I can feel her tightening around me, edging me close to my own release. “Cal I’m close.” She manages to mutter as I find my way back to her clit, rubbing fast purposeful circles. Watching the way her pants and moans fall through her lips to the glistening of her chest as it rises and falls with each breath. The sight being enough to drive me to the brink of insanity, “Cum for me y/n.” Almost instantly her eyes roll back as she arches her back, her pussy tightening without mercy forcing my own orgasm to appear. My hips jut forward as I release into her , slowly edging us both along. Our panting is the only thing to be heard as a gently collapse on top of her. “Did you mean it?” She ask, moving the hair from my forehead.

“If you mean me asking you out, yes.” She smiles and pulls my face closer to hers. “took you long enough.” She whispers before attaching her lips to mine.

A/N: (Also posted to Wattpad) I hope you enjoyed it. I'm actually really happy, I've been doing quite a bit of writing so yay! We have another calum smut blurb on the way.I also need help deciding who's the endgame for my Loki/Bucky love triangle but all with time. Anyways I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!

Space Is A Lie[SPOILERS FOR ISWM 4/2/22 TRAILER]

[Just a heads up, I talk in first person for this since I'm placing myself, ideas, and conclusions into this theory. Cause we're all watching the trailer and going to be a captain of Invincible. But for this, its coming from my perspective. Got it? Cool :)]

Let me be honest with y'all, it's 11:25 AM PST time as I'm writing. I just woke up and I wasn't expecting to get hit with a nuke of depression. Thanks for that Mark, didn't know I needed that instead of coffee. Off to a great Saturday morning for me.

Before I go to the main bits that concern me I noticed something. The main hub area going dark, the hallway with the posters saying "Don't Open the Door" that shifts to the spire structure, and the cryo chamber with glowing eyes and a hand also having poster plastered around seem familiar. It's like a call back to WKM(Who Killed Markiplier) when we walk through the house with a green sickly filter. It's like traversing through limbo, being alive but possibly dead. The three shots I listed have that same look to me but it's blue with snow or dust particles floating around. It's pretty cool to see, nice shots bro.

Getting right to the point, the happy crew shot is gone forever and I'm the reason why. The only time we see them is in the hallway scene where Mark isn't trying to spill his drink and at the end giving a run through of new/old faces. But my pride and joy, "The" pride and joy, reason to exist pride and joy is gone. And it's all my fault. Haven't even boarded the ship yet but the trailer is telling me I'm the problem. Always has been.

To stab you even more in the feelies that you can't out skate in heelies, we get new phrases. "You won't save them" and "You can't save them." Like wow, thanks for telling me honestly so I just go in with no soul and watch people die from my mistakes. Which is interesting that I guessed this in another theory before. Now he's just rubbing it in my face. Great manipulation strategy in writing there Mark, 10 outta 10 would recommend. That was sarcasm but in actuality good job on that cause it worked. Every person I meet in Space is just set up to die at a specific timeframe and it's my fault. It will always be my fault...

But what if I told you, that it wasn't real? This is a guess and a real big one too. What if it was all just a simulation of sorts? Like this nice fun fancy cosmic endeavor was just an act for us to play in while something real goes on behind the scenes? We get this idea with the consistent glitching, scenes repeating or changing, the codes telling us a story, words and phrases getting cut out to give a sentence new meaning. I can't be the only one that thinks this right? And it's done intentionally too. Someone or some thing is trying to get us to know the truth of what's actually happening. Now I think we're the one's really asleep and someone from the outside is trying to wake us up. So the "Captain needs sleep" poster makes a lot more sense.

I won't rule him out entirely but it could even be Darkiplier helping us out. He's done it a few times before in the past. So he could be finally breaking out and getting what he wants. Mark's channel. Did you think I would say "me?" Mark doesn't allow his egos to give us affection so the original plan for him stays. And I feel like he's going to be painted as the villain but have the moment to prove himself. Cool if it happens, missed opportunity if it doesn't.

Honestly, I don't mind if you guys think this is stupid and rip this idea to shreds. Not gonna harm me none, it's an idea, a theory I came up with due to the information given. Besides, Mark and the one's that worked on ISWM know exactly how the story unfolds. And it's just an edited trailer to keep us busy until the final project releases. So it's fine, just mindless thoughts into an endless galaxy of theories.

Things just don't happen by accident, especially this. Welp won't know until Monday which is around the corner. We can figure it out, it'll be fine.
