#and when they flirt out of game

[juiceicicles]

Steve plays DnD with Eddie and the kids (not Hellfire, none of them are ready for that yet) for the first time and attempts to seduce a dude to get information.

The thing is, Steve’s character is also a dude. When he first asks, Eddie is shocked, the kids are confused because “he’s a man, Steve” and Steve just pulls out some old Harrington charm and sufficiently flusters Eddie and gets the information needed.

Most of the kids are just happy it worked. Will is happy and surprised because apparently both Eddie and Steve are cool with gay people, cool enough to roleplay as them! Mike is having an internal crisis because the lord has a wife but it still worked so is he gay or straight? When asked Eddie just says he likes both, which prompts a small internal crisis. Eddie is a weird jumble of feelings because Steve is flirting with him! But like in character. So is Steve gay? Is his character gay?! What’s happening!

Steve’s flirty remarks make it out of the game and just become Steve flirting ruthlessly with Eddie, but prompts no questioning from the party because “it’s an inside joke”.

from your character analysis ask meme, for alhaitham: Are they prone to jealousy? would he be too logical to be jealous? Would his jealousy be in vain or would it perhaps be a sign that his partner has crossed the line of sorts?

Definition of jealousy:

I apologize for taking some time with this ask. I’m going to answer this in a more analytical format because I think this situation calls for it. I want to say that no, under normal circumstances, Alhaitham is not the kind of person to get jealous. In my experience, there are usually three triggers for jealousy:

1. Reader interacting normally with friends and hobbies and partner gets (unreasonably) jealous

2. Reader getting too involved with spending time with friends/hobbies not realizing they’re neglecting partner which gets them (reasonably) jealous

3. Reader specifically does things that will incite jealousy within partner by purposefully doing things like ignoring partner or flirting with others

Alhaitham would not get jealous under the first instance. Being a very independent person, he would understand and respect his partner’s need for it as well. The second instance would be the closest he’d feel to your definition of jealousy. While he’d be able to withstand it for a while, eventually he’d probably feel neglected and would pull you away to capture your sole attention.

As for the third scenario, while he would get upset and would get jealous, I don’t believe this would happen in a normal relationship. Personally, I would never flirt with someone that isn’t my partner just for fun, even if I’m close to them. I think that’s a very hurtful thing to do to someone that has feelings for you.

So long story short, no, I don’t think Alhaitham is prone to jealousy. Not that he’s “too logical” to be jealous. He just understands and respects people’s need for independence. That being said, he probably can end up feeling neglected if left alone too long.

really wish my one friend would quit flirting with me. and trying to goad me into hanging out more. and assigning us fictional characters that are oh-so-coincidently either couples or with romantic tension. and then interrupting our gameplay to ask me repeatedly if I think they’re “like us” (which they rarely are…). and matching my icon on discord without asking (again, usually by insinuating a couple connection). and giving me random things I do not want and did not ask to receive (and then forcing me to take them???).

Transcript:

Matilda: Are you almost done? Courtney: Uh-huh! Is he getting restless? Matilda: Erm…

Courtney: Oscar’s outside if you wanna find him. Matilda: Sure. Courtney: And tell him he’s not supposed to be smoking!

…

Matilda: You’re not supposed to be smoking. Oscar: I was just pretending-.. to look cool, y’know? Matilda: [snorts] You’ll fuck yourself up, like nanna did.

Oscar: Your nan was pretty cool though. Matilda: Yeah… Oscar: Thanks for doing this, by the way. I know it’s kinda short notice.

Matilda: Isn’t it usually the woman who does all this wedding planning bullshit? Oscar: Sexist much? She couldn’t plan a piss up in a brewery anyway-.. and she deserves it, and she loves surprises. So, yeah.. all she’s gotta do, is turn up in whatever pretty outfit you’ve cooked up together n’ have a good time.

Matilda: I wish it could’ve been us, sometimes. Oscar: What? Matilda: It would’ve been so much easier if we’d had.. chemistry, or whatever.

Oscar: We don’t though, do we? Matilda: Fucking-.. obviously! God, you’re so vain; what did you think this was, a confession? You may as well be my brother. Oscar: The fuck else am I gonna think when you say shit like that?

Matilda: We grew up together, we understand each other-.. we’ve even slept together. Why didn’t it feel right? Why is it so hard to find someone I have an actual connection with? Like we do, but.. romantically. You two you make it look so simple. Oscar: I don’t know.. I guess fate had other plans, if you believe in that sorta stuff.

[Robin whimpers upon seeing Courtney, immediately reaching for her] Oscar: He’s hungry. Courtney: Clearly! What’s up?

Oscar: Tilda’s super jelly-.. she’s finally interested in what’s between a guy’s eyes as well as his legs. Matilda: [laughs] Fuck off. Courtney: Awh, you’ll find someone special sooner or later.

Oscar: And when you do, you’ll understand how simple it can be. Matilda: [scoffs] With me? Doubt it. Courtney: Bah! You’re impossible to console.

Oscar: Triss needs a lift, by the way. Courtney: Now? We could-… Oscar: Nope! The boy is hungry n’ I’ve got shit to do; Tilda can do it.

Matilda: I wish you’d stop tryna force-… Oscar: [whispers] He has a girlfriend numbnuts-.. pleeeeease just take him? I’m running out of cars. Matilda: Okay, okay! Get off me already.

I fucking love writing Dual POV because you get to write one section where the character laments deeply that he has fallen for such a suave cool effortlessly sexy guy who just kissed him senseless (for the undercover job, of course)...

And then you get to swap immediately to the other POV where the "suave" "cool" "effortlessly sexy" guy in question is panic-texting his ex-boss's wife begging her to tell him what to do because I fucked up Sarah I really like him Sarah I'm sorry I know it's 11pm Sarah I'm going to fling myself off the roof Sarah!!!!!

Anyway. None of you know what or who I'm talking about but that's okay, I'M having fun. And you all will too when I get you to read this fic and join me in rarepair hell.

hello helloo! i just read through your modern au and I'm in love (shocker), i wanted to ask if you'd give some more info on poppy? apologies if there's already a dedicated post to her, looking is not my specialty

there is not! i will gladly ramble!

~

in this au, Poppy is slightly less fearful than canon. this is for several reasons! 1) years of therapy. 2) anxiety meds. 3) teenage years of her friends dragging her out for Shenanigans & hyping her tf up! but she's still a worrywart! she's very cautious! she can and Will see the bad/dengerous side to every situation. but! now she has the tools to not only cope with but combat her intrusive thoughts & fears <3

i think i mentioned it before but she Did Not Realize she was trans until highschool! specifically, when she met Sally! Poppy had to stop by the theater department after school for some reason or another, and Sally noticed her looking longingly at the costume dresses (Poppy thought she was alone lol)

and while Poppy was mortified at being caught, Sally was delighted. they only knew each other in passing and from reputation but Sally started holding up dresses to Poppy and complimenting how well they suited her. (i could joke about how Sally could sniff out the lesbian in her before Poppy even knew she was a girl!) Poppy, flustered by the sudden attention and apparent acceptance, didn't know how to handle it and fled. then started avoiding Sally in the halls. but! eventually she had to go back for Insert Reason Here, and ofc Sally was there. this time around Sally is a little gentler and less assertive, but manages to coax Poppy into checking out the more ~feminine~ costumes again. thus begins their little meetings where Poppy tries on costumes and Sally is her biggest hypeman

it takes a while for things to Click in Poppy's mind! it isn't until she tries on a dress that Sally custom-made for her, wearing some makeup and a wig, that Poppy has her oh moment. unfortunately, some of their ~mutual friends~ (Wally, Barnaby, Howdy) walk in on them. there's a short, terrifying moment where Wally is all "who's your friend, Sally?" and Barnaby has to lean over to let him know "that's Poppy, bud". before Poppy can fully freak out, Wally immediately goes OH! and starts complimenting how pretty she looks. Barnaby chimes in next to ask if the dress is home-made bc it fits Poppy beautifully, Howdy nabs a necklace from the nearby gathered accessories and put it on her to "tie the outfit together". in short! Poppy finds nothing but support from her buddies & they're more than happy to help her figure out this new internal crisis / revelation

then of course eventually she's found out by her family, which goes very well (im using sarcasm! it goes terribly!). Poppy isn't outright disowned or kicked out or in immediate danger, but her relationship with her family is ruined by their transphobic bigotry. her friends have her back throughout this, and the guest room at the Beagle farm is always open to her! Sally continues to make custom clothes for Poppy (something that becomes a love language for the two of them <3).

honestly, this period in Poppy's life is part of what like... idk... strengthens her, in a way? her continuing to be herself and actively rebelling against her family, i mean. Poppy becomes a pretty stellar liar lol (lying to her parents about where she's going, who she's hanging out with, what she does after school, etc). she's very cautious about all of it, but she does it! she's determined to pursue and discover and Realize the woman inside her! i have this sweet scene in my mind of the Group at the Beagle farm chilling on the floor with notebooks, brainstorming on possible names. (Sally enthusiastically says a variation of 'exquisite' to each one, and then when Poppy says 'im not sure about that one' Sally - still enthusiastically - says a variation of 'horrible terrible how could you suggest such an ill-fitting name'). despite everyone's efforts, i like to think that Poppy finds her name entirely on accident! maybe during the Gap Year Road Trip! maybe they stop by a SoCal poppy reserve in superbloom and the flowers Resonate with her! who's to say!

but Poppy begins her (medical) transition in college! she, of course, gets shit for it, but she also begins to find community and enjoyment in the local queer community. and of course, she has her buddies <3

but anyway! i like to think that Poppy participates in local farmer's markets with her crochet work & baked goods, the latter of which is a complete hit! that, plus her first experience with going to a tearoom inspires her to strive towards owning her own! tearooms are right up her alley, i'd say - calm, quiet, and Poppy can make peoples' days a little brighter with a tranquil atmosphere & delicious treats! i swear i have a reason between 'Poppy british = she goes into tea business'. honestly! tearooms are more about the tiny sammies & tasty cones w/ cream! and feeling Fancy while chatting!

i think it takes a while for her to actually be able to start up a tearoom. I'd imagine she starts by holding a small, single-table reservation-based one in her own place once the Group decides on what town to move to. it's successful, slowly (but steadily) grows, until she can get an actual House and transform the ground floor into a full tearoom. lil shop by the checkout counter, several different rooms, a sizeable kitchen. staff! the tearoom is a humble one, but it's a killer holiday & tourist destination! the high ratings even bring in people from out of town!

and when it comes to Poppy & Sally, bc yall know i'm a sucker for Popstar - i like to think that they start dating after (mostly) all of them move into their new town. & after they both have been in prior relationships! and then they never stop dating. well, they do, but that's so that they can upgrade to Wife Status. and then they never stop being wives so there <3

but Poppy is successful and happy! she had a rough go of it but she Makes It! and she continues to make it!

Kyle and Kendra got a visit by a disguised vampire at their house and Kendra had already flirted with him which left Kyle feeling worthless, but when they went out for dinner, Kendra and the vampire wouldn’t stop flirting and even shared a kiss in front of everyone. Kyle lost his cool and ended things with Kendra right away. Later that day, they divorced.

i've got very little written for this overall but here's another snippet from the jaydick + koribabs piece bouncing around my head lately

“Mm, can’t. Sorry,” Barbara declines. “What? Why?” Tim asks, his voice tilting too close to a whine. “C’mon, Babs. You’re not Rapunzel, you can actually come down from the tower,” Dick jokes. Barbara huffs, and [Jason] can imagine the eye-roll. “Afraid I’ve got a hot date tonight,” She explains, before smug viciousness envelops her voice. “Isn’t that right, Red?” “Sweet-talking me now, gorgeous?” He replies, entirely focused on unlocking the safe in Mask’s office.

The whole premise is that Barbara and Jason keep flirting with each other but aren’t actually interested in each other (though they may or may not have rolled into bed at least once...maybe twice); sort of bored, sort of trying to move on from their crushes (Dick and Kori).

Everyone else, however, does not realize this and assumes they’re fucking. Cue the shenanigans and possessive jealousy from both Dick and Kori.

And that's about as far as I got lol

five lines, five tags (though imma be honest i think everyone i'd tag has been lol so): free for all! whoever wants to, please do and feel free to tag me:)
