I feel like you all know and can guess my stance on this, but just to be clear: I do not and will not write x reader fanfics for the real life people Seb plays. I may occasionally base my rockstar!bucky au look off the tattoos and eyeliner he had as Tommy, but that is as far as it goes.
And I definitely will not write for this new role of his, including using pics from it as inspo for other AUs. Like I said, I think my followers would have guessed my feelings on this already, but if you send me any requests or pics about this movie you'll be ignored, so don't waste your breath ❤️

Alright, a couple of regular replies, and then some about Jade!
eh-nonnie-mouse asked:
I'm so nervous to de anon but your newest comic of Floyd/Idia comic is too cute! I'm sure Floyd totally doesn't have any ulterior motives once he realizes what position they are in.
This is such a silly thing to be nervous about since I write problematic content (mostly incest) and enjoy your Shroudcest stuff a lot. You have such a beautiful art style and I am so happy my anon blurbs (the Seb/Ceil and Fin/Ciel and some other NSFW stuff) make you two somewhat happy 😊. I know I don't interact with a lot but I hope to drop more chats in non anon.
Thank you so much! We really appreciate it <3
Floyd is super invested in that game he’s playing, but once they’re in this very convenient position, he’ll show Idia how much of a multitasker he can be >:3c He’ll impress him for sure.
And even though it’s going off-anon is an anxious thing to do, it’s good to see a person behind all those asks :) Nice to meet you!
Anonymous asked:
(Referring to your fem twst art) I absolutely NEED to see fem!Silver in Aurora’s 1959 commoner outfit! She would look so pretty!!! 🥺😍🥺😍
Ahh SHE WOULD, ANON, SHE REALLY WOULD!! And honestly this is my favourite outfit of Aurora.
I don’t have anything to show right now, but I really hope to draw fem!Silver in this dress. Even though she probably spent the majority of her time wearing pants…
Btw thank you for loving my fem!Silver, it means a lot ;w;
Anonymous asked:
In this household we love Jade ❤️
In all seriousness the fandom doesn't give him enough love, Jade is always the other woman when it comes to ships and worst of all it's always Floyd his own twin brother that gets the girl anyways. Make a donation to save Jade from second male lead syndrome 😢/j.
Ahh, poor Jade. Always a bridesmaid, never the bride… I can picture him sobbing quietly and wiping his tears with a tiny little handkerchief… :”(
To be fair, I think Jade finds his position quite advantageous: if everyone always pays attention to Floyd, he gets to not only act as if he isn’t the same when it comes to being chaotic and dangerous, but also have this element of surprise!
He also doesn’t flirt as obviously and as often as Floyd does, so we can blame Jade’s sneaky ways to collect his bottoms lol
Anonymous asked:
by chance, do you think Jade would like using idia as a lab rat? aka feeding him all kinds of mushrooms to test their effects and inevitably doing the affection +100 nighttime-activities command with a very drugged up idia
Anonymous asked:
I wonder if Jade being the awful guy he is (lovingly) would test out every single kink from A-Z on Idia?
Those are two different asks, but I feel like they are kind of connected because in my head to Jade testing out kinks and using someone as a lab rat are pretty much the same thing lol And to answer both of them: YES, Jade would absolutely do that if he had an opportunity. I guess the second option is more possible because it seems less dangerous, and I wanted to say that it would come first, but…. Honestly? With Jade it could go either way.
He could either start experimenting on Idia and it’d turn out sexual, or he’d start having sex with Idia, but then they’d end up experimenting somehow.
I don’t know what needs to happen for Idia to get stuck with Jade-the-shroom-guru and his tests, but Jade would be very excited. I mentioned it our other Jade/Idia posts, but: he would love to see if some mushrooms would change the colour of his hair or the way it burns. In this way, Idia is the most perfect lab rat ever – it’s so much fun! Not to mention how helpless Idia becomes when he’s drugged up… even more-so than he is usually~

hey, i don't want to overwhelm you, but do you think there would be another part for the end of the line series in the future that deals with the course of the first pregnancy?
everything is fluffy and smutty.
sebastian is the very best husband ever and wants to take care of everything while his wife just sits there making her baby and just looking irresistibly sexy doing it.
he is so incredibly sweet and holds her hair when she throws up. the weeks of nausea are terrible and it hurts his body and soul to see her like this, but of course, as always, he manages to make everything better and more bearable.
he always pays a lot of attention to her belly and kisses every inch of it. he keeps stroking it, snuggles up to it and tells his unborn child everything and nothing. he teams up with it against his wife, who just has to giggle about it.
and don't forget bedtime. he turns his dramatic and super hot love story with his wife into a child-friendly fairy tale.
when she gets into her insatiable phase, seb is right there and satisfies her in every imaginable way, just as she needs it. be it his hands, his tongue or his big cock. she is so much more sensitive than usual and already falls apart at his appearance and the look he gives her. god she needs him. it's best if he never stops pounding into her.
and if she feels like a fat and ugly whale for even a second, he's there to wipe that bold statement out of her mouth. just the fact that she's carrying HIS child turns him on. damn it. if you think all the boners before their relationship were a torture you cut yourself. the sight of her and her growing belly makes him so hard that not even several cold showers would help. luckily he doesn't have to hold back anything anymore.
he takes care of it and in her future pregnancies so she doesn't give it a second thought about how she looks.
(maybe that could be used for another fic if it doesn't fit here) but seb will definitely not stop talking about the pregnancy at work and subliminally bragging about it. he's so damn proud and soo in love with his family.
and yes, leander (or whoever he hates working at the auror office right now), he and his wife are fucking each other and now the loveliest baby is on the way! remember it!
and seb often goes for walks with her as long as she feels good enough for it. everyone should know that HIS wife carries HIS child. she's HIS and he's HERS!!!!!
and when his wife wants to take revenge for everything he does for her and fails to surprise him, seb is also there to make everything better. he is everything to her and she can't stop crying. those stupid hormones. she finally wanted to do something for him and then he does something for her again. but she doesn't need to worry. a shared bath makes everything good again. seb is happy when you are happy.
and when it's time and the baby comes, seb will go a bit crazy and maybe or maybe not he'll smack his buddy garreth. all the orgasms must have helped, right? or? everything will be fine. she will be fine and his baby is healthy and beautiful. omg it's coming he has to keep his nerve. luckily uncle ominis aka the mother of the group is there. he always struggled with those two idiots when they just danced for their feelings. then childbirth will also be easy peasy!
(that was a very long text and i hope it wasn't too much for you. these are all just ideas. if you're considering writing something like this, you can just use it and tinker with how the muse is kissing you in this moments.
i just wanted to get my thoughts out there and you always write everything so damn beautifully. i love you and your writing. and please take your time to think about it if you would like to write about it.)
♥︎♥︎♥︎
I’ve been sitting on this for a few days because I wanted to comb through it and absolutely try to incorporate some of this into End of the Line !! I’m still playing around with how I’ll start it but you actually gave me a couple ideas with this so HELL YEAH, THANK YOU MY DEAR !! 💞
I’m half considering writing it in a timeline sequence but we’ll see 🤷🏻‍♀️

@kritischetheologie tagged me for the 20 questions for writers game, thank you c!!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
twenty!
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
76,628. it's kinda insane that i wrote 51k under just six months last year.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
currently only writing for f1, but i've published works for star wars, peaky blinders, the old guard and batman. on another account that has been liquidated many years ago i had footy rpf and teen wolf fics.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
carry each other (hal jordan/bruce wayne), worked the blade (seb/mick), to the finnish line (seb/charles/kimi), spoils of war (seb/mick) and a favour returned (seb/lewis).
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
i do, unless it only says "please write more of this", because i don't have anything polite to reply. but i love getting replies from authors too, so only fair to return the favor. there are definitely times when i just re-read a bunch of comments and they can really help to lift my mood or feel better about my writing.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
lmao that would be the prince au break up sex fic, someday to say out loud. making george ask alex to tell him he loves him even if it isn't true and ensuring that he can't and won't believe him... partly why it's hard for me to go back to writing prince au is because it was very easy for me to project my unmedicated depression onto george, and (thank god) i'm not in that place anymore.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
mmhh my star wars fic maybe? i'm not overly fond of happy endings, the best i deal out is a hopeful but kinda open ending. out of my f1 fic it's a favour returned, i guess -- there's some talk about longer term commitment and trying and failing to say that they like like each other, or consolation prize, where mick admits twice that he's been thinking about seb.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
not in the classical sense i guess or not that i've seen.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
boy do i. i mostly write smut and use it as a catalyst to nudge a relationship to another level. i don't really get the what kind? question. what kinds are there? wholegrain?
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
haven't written one yet, but i've been toying with the idea of an f1 and the expendables crossover.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
if i had a nickel for every time someone pulled entire lines from a fic of mine and barely paraphrased them, i would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
on my old ao3 account, yes! i haven't been approached on the new one and i don't think i'd give permission now.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
prince au aka the myth of devotion with gabby @prettydangrotten. sorry to be sappy on main but galex truly one of the best things on the internet that's happened to me just for the friends i've made because of them :)))
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
all time? propably stiles/derek or eames/arthur from inception. also it was sterek that first got me to tumblr, back in like 2012 or something.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
ugh right now it feels like i'll never finish anything again. but i have a long star wars wip that's like 75% done but i haven't touched for three years. there's a roc sebmick fic i started and i actually know how it should go from start to finish, but i've been struggling with writing this year, so, i don't know.
16. What are your writing strengths?
i've been told the internal struggle/tension that narrator is facing is pretty tight and i do agree :) i also think the porn i write is nicely physical and pretty hot.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
longfic. like. i wish i could do it -- i had a 54k wip on my old ao3 account -- but i don't have the energy or the commitment. this is also why i struggle with WTB and SOW -- i want to write more to both but i feel like they are snappy and valuable as they are and i'm worried i'll ruin that if i add more.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
english isn't my first langauge so all dialogue is in another language in fic for me. i'm not super fond of adding another language on top pf that.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
teen wolf!
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
spoils of war or prince au. prince au has probably the most of me and gabby is incredible and one of the best writers and kindest persons i know and i feel incredibly fortunate to have created something with her. spoils of war was a challenge on a lot of fronts but i'm proud of the storyline and it has some of the best lines i have ever written i think. and it got @antimonyandthyme and me very close :))
aaaand i'm gonna tag @prettydangrotten @des-iderate @grideon @antimonyandthyme and @husbono.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let's spread the self-love 💞
phoebe!! this is such a brilliant and thoughtful ask game - thank you SO much for thinking to pass it on to me ❤️ also, i am SO sorry that it's taken me a week to actually reply to this 🙈 i saw this, LOVED this, but then had to go to work so didn't have time to answer it properly... and then of course had forgotten completely about it by the time i got back from work. i am literally THE WORST when it comes to answering my asks, istg 🥲
but here we are now! it's monday, and i feel like we could ALL use a bit of self-love on mondays, so i'll be passing this on ASAP once i'm done here. thank you again for thinking of me ❤️❤️and let's do this!!
my top 5 fics that i have written (for my current fandom), in no particular order:
love's a game, wanna play - AKA my fake dating AU, the one that really started it all, the one that's probably still the most self-indulgent thing i've ever written. this is probably the fic i have most enjoyed writing, out of everything i've written - it never fails to make me smile. ❤️ fake dating is just one of my favourite tropes ever, and they're my favourite boys, and.... yeah. MASSIVE soft spot for this one, always. (and yes: i am going to update this one day. i really am. but it might not be soon, because like i said, this fic is one which i genuinely enjoy writing. but currently, my writing is coming more in fits and starts/intermittent writer's block, unfortunately. i feel like i can't truly write a chapter of fake dating until i'm truly ENJOYING writing again. but whenever that is? you can bet there will be a chapter 7, because yeah, i fucking love this fic. it is my BABY. my beloved <333)
you are perfection, my only direction (it's fire on fire) - my dragon riders au, and the one that's my pride and joy for its worldbuilding and just the high fantasy/soulmatism theme of it all. worldbuilding and fantasy and soulmate themes are (you guessed it) some of my favourite tropes to read about, and i am really proud of the way i turned that into writing here 💙
it's you and me, that's my whole world - my prince!charles and his oblivious pining really-dumb-for-an-engineering-student idiot of a best friend pierre. this one just makes me feel so soft and fond whenever i go back and reread it - i just, i love them, your honour. (and charles IS the prince of monaco. the end.) 💜
long live the walls we crashed through - AKA my emotional reaction to the seb retirement announcement (i processed it by making him give relationship advice to half the grid (because why wouldn't i?) and then taking his OWN advice and finally going to talk to lewis.) it's soft and meaningful, and it's sewis, and it's a healthy dose of seb & the grid feels, and it just means a lot to me. a lot. 💚
so i guess all the rumours are true (you know i love a rouen boy) - ahhhhhhh, so, choosing the last one was SO hard for me, but in the end it just had to be this one: my monaco vlog au (AKA the one where i watched charles' monaco vlog in 2022, then rewatched it way too many times until the only thought left in my brain was "oh my god, i have to make this about piarles somehow.) and i did. and i am still very proud and very fond of this one 💛
HONOURABLE MENTIONS (because i can't NOT, and also because choosing was SO HARD for me) to your lips, my lips (apocalypse) and Game For Two and (you are the best thing that's ever been) mine. these three fics are all very special to me, in their own ways, and more than deserve their mentions on my honourable-mentions podium <333 ❣️
thank you again for this amazing ask (and for giving me the chance to go through my own fic archives!) this was an amazing way to make me smile again on a monday evening, and i hope that this answer might make some of you reading it smile too <333 ily all!!

Hi mod i dont know if you happened to hear deux new podcast(her voice is just no, so i dont blame you if you font). But she invite someone from backgrid and in general say that most of the celeb photos are not stage and no pr, the publicist dont call them and pap just happened to be in good place and good time or they are locals and they know they way around the city. Also she mention that seb and aw are so private(I guess private is ther word of the day always🤣) and we rearly have something from them so this photos are natural and the person she invite just anwser : yes...yes..yeah- good i guess. That all photos are not stage. Lol i would have a couple of questions to her, i guess she wouldnt anwser me because she didnt before but like
Why we always have seb and aw before movie premiere, awards, promotion etc. They just happened to be alive and outside at that time?
Why in rome they were looking, at least aw straight into the camera, in such big turistic place a lot of people have cameras and took photos and they for sure could be in the background of some turist photo yet they somehow were able to find the pap? Did he scream they name? If so why noone else turn around? I will if i heard that. Or they just looking in direction of every camera in hope of finding pap? (Im looking at you aw)
How big chances are that they find them there are a lot of turistic places in rome, i huess this one was the most famous so i give ot a pass amd i can take that this local photographer was ther for hours and find them
Why seb stylist put this photos on his story? He always dress seb for vacation in hope that someone will take his pic so he can show his work? Does hi dress seb day to day? Why he didnt post other seb day to day looks?
If photos was not stage and aw didnt know they were taken why she like the post in less than 30 minutes without being tag by deux or in comments(someone tag her yes but she like this before) and she dont fallow deux. What? Aw was scrolling and happened to see this? Or she was hoping someone will post it? But this would give away she know of the pap, or maybe because photos were not stage she somehow find out the photographer in the croud is pap not turist and then what for hours stalk ig to try to find the photos?
Also why aw delate the comment of this one person whi say they working in taiking the rome photos down because they think pap was stalking aw
Last questuon how they get this good shoot of them in place where there are ton of people, some look like they wait to have place fir giod pic.
Ps. Why we rearly have any pic if cillian outside the awards events, does he go to places where pap dont exist or they just affraid if taking puc if him? Or meryl how come we dint have a lot if pic of her on vacation etc.
Also why she aka. Deux change 180? She goes from they are situationship and dont call each other gf and bf even have a guy who say that they are pr to trying to do everything to prof they are real, private and in love. Does this podcas was a save after the comments under the pic she post? What happened? Does she never hear pap go onlune and say that for example megham m puc were stage? Now whole hw is so saint that noone stage pic and everything is just good luck?
If she can anwser this questions i will say she is right. To bad she never will, she right now call people who say they could do things fir pr or like that she call them jealous fans so yeah.
DM had sources for the PR situation and now her sources are totally real, unpaid, backgrid helping her definitely unpaid podcast prove these two are so real and were clearly caught off guard... 🙄 Please.
DM will never answer these, at least truthfully because when she was supposed to be bringing in a different source was paid to hold off and must have been paid good to completely change her opinion so far as to gather proof from Backgrid 😂😂😂 Totally believable, especially with the way these two, who've been to Italy countless times unseen were suddenly spotted everyday looking sooooooo loved up. Give me a break Duex 😅🤣

Tumblr media
Tom was so excited to see you and the boys. He planned a date with your tomorrow. He knew you'd have to bring the boys with you today but he was excited to see them. He likes kids, he's always wanted to be a dad. He thought by now he'd have a couple kids running around but that hasn't happened yet. He really likes you though, and he's hoping that this works out.
You both have agreed that you don't want media or fans to find out. You know you will get hate. Anytime Chris mentions you, posts you or anything people insult you. You can handle it, as long as they don't go for your kids your fine. Chris is mad at his "fans" but he hasn't publicly said anything. You know that when the media finds out that you're dating tom they'll insult and berate you. Tom also prefers to keep it private. He's seen the media ruin relationships before and he doesn't want that to happen to you and him.
He also knows you don't want your sons in the spot light. They've been seen a few times and Scott posts them, with your permission of course. Just a couple videos. Mostly from when they were babies though since he has a lot of cute videos of them as toddlers. Including videos from when Felix called Chris poopy. Which he did until he was three, so did Flynn.
Tom makes it to where you guys planned on meeting. He sits down on a bench and looks around. He sees you down the street holding hands with the twins. You were looking at Flynn who was telling you a story. Felix was fiddling with something but Tom can't tell what it is though.
"Mommy look it's tom!" Felix tugs on your sleeve. You look over and see Tom smiling. Felix let's go of you hand a runs over to tom. "Hi! Look I brought my web shooter!"
"Really? You plan on fighting crime this weekend huh?" Tom smiles as Felix sits next him.
"Mhm I'm gonna fight the green goblin!"
"Really? Remind me to never get on your bad side."
"Okay!" Felix giggles as his brother joins him and Tom.
"Tom! I got to ride on a train!" Flynn says excitedly.
"Really?" Tom looks up at you. "Hey love." He stands up hugging you.
"Hey babe." You kiss his cheek before moving back. "Boys we're at a park why don't you two go play?" You suggested.
"Why because you want to kiss?" Flynn teases making a kissy face.
"Mommy and tom sitting in a tree-"
"Alright go play." You shoo them off.
"I missed you." Tom grins as he hugs you again. "How was the trip?"
"It was good they were well behaved. Just watched a movie and played with their toys. They're excited to spend tomorrow night with Seb so we should be able to spend some time together. Plus there's no bunk beds for them to push each other off." You laugh as you both sit down looking at the boys. They were dress in bright colors to be easier to spot in the crowd of kids.
"Really I get you all to myself?" He wraps an arm around you and follows your eyes to the boys who were shooting each other with "webs" aka silly string. "I can't believe you let them bring those." He chuckles.
"It wasn't worth the fight. As long as they weren't doing it on the train I don't care. Sebastian is less than pleased with me though."
"Just tell him I bought them he already hates me." Tom laughs as you rest your head on his shoulder, he rests his head on yours.
"That's true. So what do we have planned for tomorrow?"
"Well dinner and maybe we can go to my hotel to watch a movie." He smiles at you.
"As long as it isn't a kid's movie then yes."
"Oh... I was thinking toy story." He jokes you giggle looking up at him.
"I've seen that movie a hundred times."
"What really?"
"Yeah that and Encanto. They're obsessed! Every time it's one of those."
"Ooh we should watch Encanto!" He grins laughing as you lightly slap his chest.
"Flynn! Stop spraying toddlers with the web shooters only shoot your brother or I will take it away." You shout at your son who looks at you.
"Sorry mom!" He responds.
"Sorry what were you saying?" You ask tom sitting up.
"Uh somehow Felix has both of the web shooters now." Tom points out giggling as he watched the boy shoot his brother.
"I hate you for buying those." You say.
"But they love them! Look at that smile." He defends.
"Okay you go take it from Felix then." You smirk at him.
"Easy." Tom stands up and walks over to the boys. "Buddy wanna give me one of the web shooters?"
"No you'll give it back to Flynn!" He stops shooting his brother to look at the actor.
"No I won't I promise."
"I don't believe you and besides you're not my dad so I won't have to listen to you." He grins victoriously.
"But I am spiderman."
"Well I still don't have to listen to you!"
"He's dating mommy so yeah you do!" Flynn crosses his arms.
"Nun-uh." You watched the interaction from the bench.
"Well he gave the we shooters to us! So you have to listen to him." Flynn says proudly knowing he won.
"Fine." Felix pulls off the web shooter handing it to Tom.
"Thank you buddy." Tom ruffles his hair before joining you.
"It's easy huh?" You laugh.
"It would easy for you they'd listen to you."
"Sure they do." You laugh.
———
You made it to the restaurant you but Tom wasn't there yet. You sat on a bench outside of the restaurant to wait for him. You play on your phone texting CJ about the trip to New York. You leave tomorrow, Monday. It was just a short trip but you enjoyed it. The boys were having the time of their lives as well.
"Hello love." Tom walks over smiling.
"Hey! I'm starving let's go in!" You kiss him before he takes your hand and the two of you walk into the restaurant. "You should've hear the boys when they found out I wasn't bringing them tonight."
"What? I thought they'd be excited to stay with Sebastian."
"Apparently they like you more." You laugh.
"Really? They barely know me."
"They think we're definitely gonna get married and you'll be their dad. They mostly like the idea of having a dad but at least they like you."
"Oh... I mean I would be a good dad." He grins before he turns to the hostess and gives his name.
"Yeah." you smiled to yourself. You both follow the hostess to your table. Tom pulls your chair out before going and sitting in his. "Uh if these dad comments and stuff from the boys make you uncomfortable I can talk to them I know we haven't been dating for a while so their dad question might be a bit much too soon."
"They're just confused. I'm kinda happy they feel comfortable enough to ask me those kinds of questions you know?"
"Yeah. But I don't want them getting hurt and I don't want it to hurt more if we were to break up." You look at your menu. You feel his eyes on you as he take a moment before talking again.
"Don't think about the ifs right now. Let's stick with the original plan. Okay we can even push it from six months to a year I don't care as long as your happy." Tom assures resting his hand on yours.
"Yeah... Maybe we should push it a bit y'know... They're getting attached already."
"I'm very loveable!" He chuckles before he looks in the menu. "So how long were you thinking?"
"A year."
"Works for me." He peaks at you. "What're you getting?"
"I don't know yet... Do you know what your getting?" You ask smiling at him.
"No."
———
"I should get back to Seb's place." You say lifting your head from his chest to look at Tom.
"No just a little longer? I'm not gonna be able to see you for awhile." His arms tighten around you.
"I told him midnight though."
"The boys are probably sleeping can't you just text him and let him know you'll be a little longer?" He begs. You think about it for a minute. Sure you like being in his arms like this but you feel bad having Sebastian watch them for longer then agreed. He isn't even letting you pay him. You look at Tom we just smiles. You guess thirty minutes wont hurt.
"Fine. But only 30 minutes." You reach for your phone to text Sebastian.
"Thank you!" He smirks leaning down to kiss you. You smile telling Seb that you're gonna be late. He responds telling you it's okay and that "you better be leaving room for Jesus cause I don't want to be the uncle to that big baby's kids" word for word of course. You laugh showing it to Tom who chuckles.
"I don't think this counts." You joke referring to the fact you're laying on him.
"Hey I don't want him to be uncle to my kids either. He'd probably try to turn them against me!" Tom laughs.
"He probably would." You laugh, before texting Sebastian back telling him a little bit of what Tom said. Just the first sentence. "I could stay like this all day." You mumble snuggling closer to him.
"Me too." Tom looks at the ceiling grinning. He doesn't want this day to end. He knows you don't have enough money to travel to London, and he can't come to Boston nearly as much as he wants to. He knew a long-distance relationship was going to be hard but he didn't think it would be this hard.
He wants this to work out with you. He loves you. He knows it's only be four months, it might be too soon but it's true. He loves you and he loves the twins. They're like mini yous. Except that look like their bio dad. Sure they have your eyes and nose but their face shape, hair color and other features are from Jake. He loves that the boys are comfortable enough to ask him about him being their dad. He has always wanted to be a dad. When he was younger he thought he'd be settled down by now with a couple kids but obviously life hasn't gone that way so far. He definitely didn't think he'd be dating Chris Evans' daughter, or a single mom, or someone almost ten years younger than him. He's glad this is where life has taken him though. He hasn't been this happy in a while.
He doesn't know what the future holds. But if it was up to him you'd be there.

vro0m’s rewatch - 116/304
2013 Monaco GP
Okayyy today we're watching the worst race of the season aka MONACO
Massa and Grosjean (twice) ended up in the barriers, already.
Oh dear, there's a new controversy. What now. Apparently after the Spanish GP, Mercedes did a 1'000km test. Pirelli allowed them to do so I guess to understand the tyres better but it's illegal according to the FIA. Merc says the FIA signed off on it and that another team did that earlier in the year (who?). A meeting is happening. Lauda says they've been asked by Pirelli to do the test, they asked the FIA if they were allowed to do it, they said yes and he thinks other teams have been asked too. Honestly I understand the issue but if the FIA said they could do it, it's on the FIA and not on Merc. Lauda says one of them has tested earlier in the season (WHO?). Damon Hill says what they did wrong is that, as the team who struggled the most with the tyres in Barcelona, they somehow managed to get picked by pirelli to do the test. Brundle says it's impossible to do testing in Barcelona without people noticing because there's a hotel overlooking the track etc. and so why didn't they come out earlier and say it happened rather than try to hide it? Also he says it can only have been "premeditated" because such a test involves a lot of logistics. They agree Pirelli has to ameliorate the degradation of the tyres and lessen the risk of delamination and so they have work to do but they did it with one team. 
Ted says Redbull is one of the teams who are vehemently protesting what happened because Mercedes has protested many things they did before so they're trying to heat the issue up. (Is that where it all started?) Ferrari is also pissed. They're trying to get Lotus to join them but they don't want to take part in it. (Apparently last time they protested something Redbull didn't back them up.) McLaren are partners with Mercedes so they're not saying anything, even though the partnership is about to end as McLaren moves to the Honda engine. It's like children in school drama isn't it? 
Quali report. It was wet! Massa didn't take part in it, he crashed quite heavily in FP and the team couldn't get the car back in shape in time. Grosjean made mistakes 3 times during practice, touching the wall twice, he didn't make it into Q3. Seb thought they could challenge the Mercedes but he made mistakes and he's 3rd, ahead of Webber, Raikkonen and Alonso. Both McLarens in Q3 for the first time since Malaysia. It seems Jenson had a fuel pump issue and he's only 9th, though. Lewis wasn't happy with his setup during the FPs, and he's 2nd, while Rosberg got his 3rd pole in a row. But well… I'll wait and see how they do during the race before getting happy about it. 
Pinkham asks Lewis if he thinks they can get a 1-2 in the race. He says it's gonna be tough but he's excited, he just hopes to get a good race. He says it's the most special GP to win apart from your home GP, but it's also the most difficult race to win so when you do win and get to meet the Prince it's the “crème de la crème”. 
Now we hear Redbull has lodged a protest against the whole Mercedes testing thing. 
OH MY GOD BABY ROSCOE?!
Tumblr media
They are in cars, each with a journalist. So at this point Lewis has been living in Monaco for a year. He says he loves it "I was literally so bored in Switzerland" (😭😭😭 yeah look, we have other qualities).
Tumblr media
The journalist says he has his team-mate as a neighbour now. Ah here we go with the brocedes installment. Lewis says sometimes when he doesn't have food he just goes upstairs and knocks on his door. They're talking about how extremely difficult Monaco is. Rosberg, in his car, is asked if he's the jetski king and he says yes I am. Then they see Natalie Pinkham getting in a wetsuit and Lewis says she looks good in it. His journalist says yeah too bad you're not with her, and he tells him he’s with the other guy who's there. Ah they are actually going jetskiing. Nobody explains anything in these broadcasts damn.
Of course, Lewis immediately sprays Nico and starts laughing like an actual maniac while Nico gets water off his sunglasses.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But well, then Nico does the same thing to the skysports crew, so. Then Natalie Pinkham is riding behind Nico and he makes her jump for some reason?! They're supposed to be racing but everybody forgot to check the time. I'm very confused about the rules of this race, they really literally didn’t explain one thing, but whatever. Lewis does the same thing with Brundle?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyway Lewis lost. 
Now Ross Brawn says they weren't secretive about the testing, as while they were setting up for it all the other teams were still there. He also believes that it wasn't their responsibility to communicate on the test as the test was a request from Pirelli. He says they didn't try any upgrades or anything like that ; they did what Pirelli wanted which was a constant car, as consistent as possible. 
Oh. Oh. Seriously. What’s with that haircut?
Tumblr media
I do not like it. 
Formation lap 
Bianchi is being pushed off the grid, the car has an issue. He’ll start form the pitlane
And they're racing! 
Oooh Lewis almost overtook Nico but it's so narrow here. Yellow flags, there's been something at the back. Seb is attacking Lewis, but he locks up. Contact in the midfield in the hairpin. A McLaren just cut the chicane as they are racing each other again. 
At the end of the first lap, Rosberg is still in the lead followed by Lewis, Seb, Webber, Raikkonen, Alonso, Perez, Jenson, Sutil, and JEV. Maldonado pits. Van Der Garde also pits as he lost his front wing. Seb attacks Lewis again who swerves back and forth to defend which is supposedly not allowed. And then they all go on tyre saving mode. We might reach record levels of boredom. 
Almost 10 laps in, it's an engine fire for Pic. So most probably a Safety Car. No. Actually not. 
20 laps in. The Mercedes boys are finally told they can pick up the pace a little bit. Webber pits. Raikkonen pits. Jenson pits. It's a bit earlier than they all hoped for, as they're trying to stop only once. Massa pits. Still nothing in the top 5. Ah yep! Alonso pits. 
30 laps in, we have yellow flags? Ohhh Massa crashed. Perez pits, Lewis sets the fastest lap. Apparently Massa crashed in the exact same way he did in FP3. Seb pits. It's a Safety Car, the first of 2013, actually. Surely now the Mercedes will pit? The Safety Car has picked up Seb, but the Mercs are still running free. We see Massa sitting surrounded by marshals and medics who are putting him in a foam neck brace. Grosjean pits. Maldonado pits. Rosberg is in. Lewis is in. It worked well for Rosberg who is still on the lead. But for some reason the Safety Car has released the Redbulls who went around the track and Lewis finds himself behind them. It's confusing I don't understand why they did that. 
40 laps in. Lewis attacks Webber! Oof it was close. Perez overtook Jenson after Alonso made contact with him. Maldonado crashed after contact with Chilton. Red flag. The barriers are dislodged and in the middle of the track, they need repairs. They're all getting new tyres I think. I mean it would be stupid not to. 
Ah, now Toto is Mercedes' executive director. 
Alonso is told he'll need to give back a position to Perez because he left the track to avoid contact with him and it's a "would he have not retained position if he hadn't done so" type of situation. 
The cars are back on the track behind the safety car. Perez is allowed to overtake Alonso. And Safety Car in. Lewis attacks Webber again. 
Lap 50. Lewis is still putting Webber under pressure. His tyres are starting to suffer. 
Lap 60. Bianchi DNF after a slight crash. And Grosjean crashed into Ricciardo. We see a slow-mo, Crofty says "that's Grosjean behind Ricciardo he's just gone… launched himself over the rear" in a surprised tone of voice. Brundle glumly says "he worries me that boy". (Remember when he said "he doesn't seem spatially aware of his car" in 2012? Lmao.) So that's another Safety Car. Nico almost ran over a pigeon. Here they go again. It looks exactly like it has looked since lap 1 (except Lewis isn’t P2 anymore, so actually worse).
Lap 70. And it had to happen, as Perez was racing very daringly since the start : contact with Raikkonen. He got squeezed between him and the barrier. Raikkonen pits. Contact between the two McLarens. That was weird. 
And it's the end of the race thank GOD 
Rosberg wins, Seb P2, Webber P3, Lewis P4.
Lewis confirms what Toto said at some point which is they didn’t ask him to hold back, he decided to hold back. He says actually he was told he needed a 6 second gap and maybe it was a bit more than that. And that's why he ended up behind after the pit stop. He congratulates Nico and the team. He just has to keep working harder. Pinkham asks how tough it is because it looked like bad luck. He says it doesn't put it down to bad luck, he just wasn't good enough this weekend. That's all. You can tell he doesn't wanna talk.

Hello. I just discovered your blog, and I wanted to ask you something regarding Devils and Realist. Mind you, I have never read the manga nor watched the anime. Is Dantelion a teenager or an adult? I'm asking because I've seen people ship him with William, who's 17, and from what I can gather, William seems to be a reincarnation of Dantelion's past master. I just hope that this isn't a Seb*ciel situation is all I'm saying.
Hi anon, welcome to hell, aka my blog.
I'm going to be honest with you there, it's questionable at best. I cannot give you a definitive answer on "is this ship morally acceptable?", but I want you to be able to figure that out for yourself, so I'm going to give you all of the facts as I know them. With minimal spoilers.
(However I can very easily say that this is not a Seb*ciel situation. We're not talking about p*dobait written by someone who depicts children in gross and undefendable ways at every single occasion. We're also not talking about content that can and has been used to groom children. So if your concern is about real life influences and consequences, don't worry- this is inconsequential compared to the disgusting sins of Kuro.)
So, what do we know about Dantalion/William?
Starting with the "this is weird!!" parts:
William is 17 at the beginning of the manga, and Dantalion thinks he's Solomon immediately. At that point it has already been implied (and guessed by William himself) that D and S were lovers. We never see Dantalion in his human (don't quote me on that the lore is messy) youth, and though his human form is supposedly of an appropriate age for the setting (17-18) it's barely different from his true form (yeah, the millennia-old one, which does canonically look youthful, but also if he's as scary as canon says he is I'm going to assume it's youthful as in under 30). Demons sort of canonically care more about age than physical appearance (I'm making this assumption based on Lamia. Dantalion seems to be the only one who minds.) which... complicates things. William is canonically a completely separate person (and soul) from Solomon, so yes that's a 17-18 year old, 100%.
Now the "I mean... I guess it works?" parts:
William turns 18 in the manga, and the most popular (and heavily supported by canon, with things like "Your soul should know") interpretation is that Dantalion only really likes William near the very end of the manga. You could even argue the only somewhat romantic thing between them happens in the very last chapter (but that's only if you don't count the countless moments when Dantalion misses Solomon so much William just has to witness his intense yearning). None of the romance is confirmed, the only person who's canonically attracted to Dantalion is Gilles (I refuse to add Lamia. It's depicted both too childishly and too politically to matter.) but even that is arguably not true and that's... a whole other issue I'm not going to get into right now. Makai Ouji is not a romance, the main plot is political intrigue with lots of occult BS.
And finally the "this could go either way but it needs to be considered and interpreted because it's relevant" parts:
This manga (and anime) is very queerphobic (this is not up for debate. dare question my words and I will get angry.) in many (unintentional, I think) ways and its "unapologetic" depictions of "in your face" queerness are bad (Gilles. he's so bad he makes Grelle look like good trans rep. and I love him but this is terrible.), but also it does not shy away from representing unhealthy relationships that could very much seem queer (Michael and Uriel are just one example among many). But it has always depicted Dantalion and William as healthy. (Which gave me whiplash reading the manga because Dantalion and Solomon were mutually destructive. The contrast is baffling.) All of the canon romances are m/f (Gilles/Dantalion is one-sided and only seen a few times. and again, could not be an actual thing). Lots of romantic tropes and typical subplots apply to Dantalion/William.
And my very simplified opinion (for your own peace of mind, or need to unfollow/block me):
ngl I'm just here to see Dantalion yearn for Solomon, some dead guy who never treated him right. Dantalion/William? whatever I don't fucking care I don't ship it. if you ask me (sorry if you don't get that reference), shipping them is like shipping inukag, but I was an inukyo bitch. (like sure, I could like the alive, currently canon version... but why the fuck would I? also similar age gap) I think the romantic moments are peak romance because the angst is spicy as hell. and Dantalion says the cutest shit (again, "Your soul should know" fucking haunts me, this dude wants Solomon to be there so fucking bad it's lovely and sad). but as I've said, it's technically not canon? like, even the gayest interpretation of Makai Ouji is that these hoes still don't date. honestly if Dantalion/William really bothers you it's still readable, just skip the very last page of the manga and you'll be fine? even the end isn't that bad. if you want to avoid questionable/triggering things in Makai Ouji this ship isn't what you should be worried about. worry about the homophobia, transphobia, (we're talking Kuro levels and above) issues of consent (but it is depicted as bad. there's just a lot going on.), weird amount of whiteness????, and other things. but again, it's readable, the anime is worse than the manga tho (it's really not that bad still).

💌 Requested by: @real-kate-bishop-aka-hawkeye
Pairing: Sebastian Stan x Reader ft Marvel Cast
Request: Age gap! Reader is in a relationship with Sebastian Stan and they’re in a movie together that has been nominated for the Oscars. Both of them are up for best actor and actress.
a/n: I hope you like this, I’m so sorry for the long wait, love! Enjoy!💖
Double Win
“How are you feeling?”
“I’m a bit nervous. But I’m excited to be here. It’s gonna be a good night.” You reply with a smile as Sebastian squeezed your hand. The two of you were currently in the car on your way to the venue that hosted the Oscars.
“Hey, whatever happens tonight, whether we win or loose, I’m proud of you.” Sebastian says as he brings your hand up to his lips and presses a kiss to it.
You and Sebastian were both nominated for your first Oscars ever. The movie you guys both starred in has been successful in the box office and has snagged multiple nominations during awards season.
You first met Sebastian during a table read for a disclosed Marvel project. You were a new actress in the business having been in small movies and had some parts in tv shows, but being casted as Kate Bishop was your big break (I know she’s like 16 in the comics, but for the sake of this request let’s just assume the actress casted is in her 20s). You and Seb instantly clicked at the table reading. From there on a beautiful friendship formed which slowly grew into a relationship. Despite the age gap, everything you guys did together felt natural. Natural in a sense where it was familiar, as if you guys have known each other for years. When you were with him everything fell into place.
“I’m so happy that you’re finally getting recognition for your work. You work your ass off on these movies, you deserve it so much.” You admitted as he strokes your hand with his thumb. Sebastian tilts his head at you with that crooked smile on his face.
“After all, you were robbed for I, Tonya.” You added as you nudged his shoulder with yours. His smile breaks as he laughs.
“Are you still mad about that?”
“YES! Oh my god, it irritates me so much. Like how did you not get nominated for I, Tonya? You were amazing as Jeff!” You exclaimed waving your free hand in frustration.
“Well that doesn’t matter anymore. Because now, I’m nominated for a movie I starred in alongside my girl. To me, that’s all that matters.” He said as he leaned in closer to you. You hum contently as he nudges your nose with his. He presses a kiss to the corner of your mouth, careful to not get any of that sinful red lipstick on his lips.
The moment was interrupted by the driver announcing that you have arrived at the venue. Before leaving the car you quickly fix your hair and make sure Sebastian didn’t have any lipstick on his lips. Sebastian buttoned up his suit and looked back at you before opening the door.
“You look beautiful, by the way. I just wanted to tell you before everyone starts shouting it at you.” He tells you with a boyish grin on his face. You playfully roll your eyes and thank him. He opens the door and you guys are met with the flashing lights and chaos of the red carpet.
🕓 Time Skip
Half an hour into the awards show and they’ve announced the awards for Best Supporting Actor and Actress. Your nerves were getting the best of you, making your leg bounce in anticipation. You tried having a few glasses of wine to help you loosen up, but it was no use. Sebastian, who had been beside you the whole night, noticed your nervous tic. He placed a reassuring hand onto your leg to help calm you down. He didn’t say anything but his silent gesture was appreciated. His hand helped ground you and tell you that he was there for you.
Chris Evans and Brie Larson walked out from backstage and entered the stage. The audience clapped as they approached the mic.
“Hello everyone! Of all the movies that have been nominated for this category tonight, something that they all have in common is a female lead who is a force of nature and captures the attention of the audience with their strong presence on screen.” Brie starts.
“Here are the nominees for Best Actress.” Chris continues as they announce the names of the nominees. As your name is announced you feel your heart beat quicken and squeeze onto Sebastian’s hand, a smile hiding your anxiousness.
When they finish the names, Brie excitedly opens the envelope. She and Chris share are look before they announce the winner.
“And the Oscar goes to..”
“(Y/n) (Y/L/N)!!” They scream into the mic.
You freeze as you hear your name. Around you the people clap and stand as you remained seated in your seat in shock. Sebastian is the one to pull you out your state of shock, leaning down and gently pulling you up.
“Baby, you won!” He exclaimed as he pulls you into his arms. You come back to your senses and wrap your arms around him quickly pulling away. You make your way up to the stage as people congratulated you as you passed by the aisle. When you approached the stairs, you hold the train of your dress to avoid pulling a Jennifer Lawrence. Chris is quick to help, lending you a hand up the stage. He hugs you and congratulates you over the audience. Brie approaches you with open arms and hands you the Oscar. The two move to the side to give you your moment. You face the crowd with a big smile, Oscar in hand.
“Thank you guys.” You start as you glance at Brie and Chris. You look back to the crowd and quickly spot Sebastian, who has the most proudest look on his face.
“This is unbelievable, I can’t believe this is happening! I’ve been dreaming of this since I was a little kid.” You mused as you looked at the Oscar gleaming in the light.
“I guess I should start by thanking the Academy. Thank you for this opportunity. Thank you to the cast and crew who have been part of this movie’s journey I love every single one of you. Thanks to my team, who have been so kind and supportive to me from the start and have helped me get to this moment. To my family, I owe you all so much you have been so supportive of me and pushed me to follow my dreams and have been there every step of the way. Also, to the women who were nominated alongside of me tonight, you guys are amazing and continue to inspire me to become as talented as you all are. Lastly, I want to thank a special person. My co-star in this movie, my best friend, biggest supporter, my rock, my lover. Sebastian you have done nothing but been there for me through thick and thin. I don’t know what I did in my past life to deserve someone as special as you, but I’m thankful that I have you. Without you I don’t know how I would survive in the madness of this, I love you.” You looked at Sebastian through blurred eyes as you made your speech.
“Thank you!” You finished as you excitedly held the Oscar up in the air. The usher instructed you to stand by the side as Brie and Chris walked to the mic.
“And now for Best Actor!” Chris says as they announce the nominees. When Sebastian’s name was called you clapped and cheered as he gave the camera a shy smile.
“And the Oscar goes to!”
“SEBASTIAN STAN!” They announce, Chris screaming it a bit louder than Brie. You gasp and clap as you see Sebastian being congratulated by your fellow co-stars and director. He makes his way up to the stage instantly looking for your eyes. A giant smile is on your face as your eyes connect. He’s hugged by Brie and Chris. Chris moves to hand him the award but Sebastian is already striding towards you. The audience laughs at Chris’ reaction. Meanwhile Sebastian brings his hand to cradle your face and pulls you into a passionate kiss. The crowd cheers and whistles as you wrap your free arm around him. For a moment it feels like it’s just you two in the whole venue. You pull away, lovingly smiling at each other.
“Go get that Oscar, champ.” You teased and nudge him towards Chris, who claps him on the back as soon he approaches him.
“Sorry, got caught in the moment.” He chuckled making the audience laugh.
“Man, I—. This is just an honor, thank you so much for this. I don’t know what I did to get here, but thank you so much. Thank you to the Academy. Thank you to the cast and crew who’ve worked hard day and night to make this amazing movie the way it is. My team, thank you for dealing with me, I appreciate it. I wanna say a very special thank you to two of the most important women in my life. My mother, who sacrificed so much to give me a better life, I’m up on this stage because of you. I love you and I’ll make sure to give you a call as soon as I’m home. I think you guys know who the other woman is.” He exclaims as he turns to you with a twinkle in his eyes, the crowd cheering him on.
“When I say this I’m being dead serious. I’m gonna marry that woman one day.” Sebastian points at you making the crowd go wild. You laugh, looking down as your face turns 50 shades of red.
“(Y/n), you keep me going everyday. You inspire me to better myself and become a better man. For the two years we’ve been together, you’ve been beside me through it all and I just want to thank you for everything you do. You’re my safe place, I love you.” He said while looking at you the entire time. He thanks everyone again before the music begins to play.
🕓 Time Skip
As the show came to an end everyone headed towards the after party. The cast and crew of your movie celebrated over champagne, some speeches, a little crying, and lots of hugs. The whole night Sebastian never left your side, his hand was either around your waist or the small of your back. Constantly whispering sweet nothings into your ear as he pressed kisses to your face.
“Seb! (Y/n)!” You and Sebastian turned to the voice to see Chris pushing through the crowd along with Scarlett and Brie.
“Hey!” You greet them as you all pull each other into hugs.
“Congratulations you two! You must be on cloud nine!” Scarlett said as she squeezed you as tight as she can.
“The look on your face when you won, oh my goodness! Priceless!” Brie laughs as she held onto your arm.
“I honestly can’t believe it! It’s just so surreal like what the fuck? I’m still processing it!” You rambled, eyes wide with shock. The two laughed at your reaction.
“I’m guessing Seb is gonna be getting some as soon as you guys get home?” Scarlett teased. You rolled your eyes glancing at Seb who was talking to Chris and Samuel L. Jackson. He caught your eye and sent a quick wink towards you.
“I don’t kiss and tell, Scarlett.” You winked at the blonde. Your name is suddenly being called across the room by Chris.
“When’s the wedding?” He asked, a few feet away from you and the girls.
“As soon as he gets the ring!” You answer teasingly making Seb blush. Chris turns back to Sebastian pointing at you.
“You heard the lady, Seb.”
“Who says I don’t already have the ring?” Sebastian shot back making everyone sound like a bunch of teenagers.
When you guys got back home, you and Sebastian celebrated in the early hours of the morning between the sheets. When you wake up the next day you see a blue Tiffany’s box paired with a rose resting on Sebastian’s side of the bed.
And you said yes.

Sooo after watching TFATWS I’ve been thinking a lot about THIS GUY, aka my comfort character and, in my opinion, the most beautifully complex character in the MCU.
And I just gotta talk about this SCENE. The pain and confusion in his face?? His voice?? Sebs INCREDIBLE acting? Heartbreaking. THIS is the scene why I will never side with Tony at the end of Civil War. Yes, the winter soldier killed Tony’s parents. But Bucky Barnes did not. Bucky is the one who suffered the most bc of Hydra. His entire Identity was literally stripped away until he had no idea who he was anymore. And every time he caught even the tiniest glimpse, he was tortured and brainwashed AGAIN. I don’t think everyone understands how much he must’ve resisted in the beginning, only to fail time and time again and eventually give up and lose hope.
Tumblr media
This look? He knows exactly what’s coming. He knows it’ll hurt and he’ll scream and he’ll wake up lost again. But he doesn’t fight; he’s accepted that he belongs to them, that they can do whatever they want to him, that his body isn’t his own and they can use it in whichever way suits them best. He’s nothing more than a weapon for them to wield. And it breaks my heart.
So no, Tony has absolutely no right to be mad at BUCKY when Bucky is the one who has to live the rest of his life with all the trauma and pain of what Hydra’s done to him for decades. Tony lost his parents. Bucky lost himself.
In a way, it also reminds me of what the Capitol does to Peeta in the hunger games. They manipulate his memories, turn people he loves into threats, totally twist his perception of reality and break him down piece by piece until he can’t tell right from wrong anymore. He’ll never be the person he once was, just as Bucky will never go back to being the person he was before being captured by Hydra.
Tumblr media
So honestly, Bucky being able to kind of put himself together again and pick up the pieces of his shattered identity shows just how strong he really is.
As I said, yes, the winter soldier killed those people. But Bucky Barnes did not. He has nothing to apologize for.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Bring Me Home // Harry Styles
Acceptance (1)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My eyes are closed and my whole body is tingling like I left it for too long in a nightmare and it's finally waking up slow and groggy.  I'm surrounded suddenly by cold winter air as a door opens. Someone in the distance calls my name but I can't dig myself back up to reach them. My toes wiggle and dance with the dirt in my sandals and I reach for that feeling. My arms cover my chest, stopping the cold from hitting my wet bathing suit and I can't help but wonder if this is what he felt like, it must have been cold. Wet and cold, with the ocean spraying sand and foam.
"June?" My eyes flutter open. The broken, fluorescent bulbs of a gas station throw sickly, yellowing shadows over my sister. I look around and the only door I'm in front of is the freezer section. The frozen single-serve pizzas are staring back at me sadly.
I look down at her hands and see the Powerade she grabbed, bags of chips, and a gallon of water. "I'm back," I say slowly. I grab the water, becoming fully aware of my cottonmouth. Taking big gulps I think of my brief and tragic winter vaca hallucination and remember it was definitely summer. Guzzling this water as if it were from the Tuck Everlasting spring itself and I'd live forever, I glance at the aisle mirror. Unfortunately for this man I caught him staring at my sister and I. I cap the jug and hand it back to her, "go pay."
I  turn my back, heading to the corner where his aisle and mine meet. "What's up?" I ask bluntly, "Do you usually creep on scantily clad women who're minding their business?" getting to him I realize how I shrink in his presence and the tiredness his face holds. And there was something else.. Familiarity.
He looks uncomfortable, "Was just making sure you weren't dead on your feet," he smiles nervously, "I tried to chat with you before your friend came in but you didn't respond."
I squint my eyes, if they weren't so glossy and my head didn't feel like it belonged underwater then maybe I could have placed him. But alas, like offerings to Xibalba, the stars were not in position for this tribute. Aka me. I again cross my arms and let out an "mhm." Angrily plucking a snack from his hand and walking away, I'm very aware of how many he can hold in the same hand as his bottled water.
I want to ask my sister if listening to all those true crime podcasts have done nothing for her since she's waiting for me in the darkened parking lot. But I figure the wrong place, wrong time. The lot is riddled with potholes and faded paint and there's usually one kid hanging around the outskirts, seemingly waiting for someone. She tosses me the Powerade and some Visine eye drops. "That bad?" I ask.
"They're as bad as your sunburned ass," she laughs, I shrug. We can't win them all.
We cross the deserted street to the ocean where the fire is blazing and our six closest friends are waiting for us. The waves lap the shoreline and the moon shines high above like a nightlight I had once wanted to kiss, but now holds my secrets. I disliked the dark, but I dislike the heavy stare the  moon now follows me with even more. I heard laughing, crackling fire, and the subtle sounds of a playlist through speakers. I could almost forget why we were there. I vaguely register a car driving off as my sister takes my hand.
 "Is it time?" she asks, standing near the fire. Sam gets up from a log, shakes his brown curls from his face and stands at the shore line. Craning his neck upwards he checks the moon's position. Just this once I wished it would close it's eye. He makes a sound that seems like a "yes," as it struggles to leave his throat and I can't tell if it's from the angle of his neck or the emotions of what we're here to do.
Sam grabs the box and we walk to the boat they probably used in the Notebook. We row over to the crag of ocean rocks that leads to a trail up a cliffside. No one speaks. I can feel a wetness coming over my cheeks that I'm certain had nothing to do with the ocean spray. We tie the boat to a tree and move up the cliff. I will my sandals to corporate and keep me right but that's like asking seaweed to keep the shark steady so I let the cliff wall guid me instead. Slowly the rocks and granite turn to dirt, and grass and I know we made it to the top. From this point, the moon sits perfectly centered over the cliff's edge. I can feel the choices we've made and how this is completely and utterly the best one.
I hear laughter again, feel the excitement, the friendship. However this time it's not something any passing person would see. It's a memory of many times that had come before and many times that would not come again. We open the box. A small blue and silver ceramic pot sits inside. Sam pulls it out, walks over to the edge and pours a little in his hand. He tosses his brother's ashes into the sea that took him. The final middle finger Elijah would have given if he had been alive to do so. Except if he was alive he could give two and I know one would be for me. I close my eyes as he throws the rest.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
That beach and gas station were still part of our stomping grounds, but that summer it was less frequent and we spent more time cuddled on couches and wandering graveyards. Death will make you do strange things. Guilt will make you do stranger. I watched days, weeks, even months blur together until finally it felt like the fever broke and I woke up. Fall feels like a rebirth, a brief moment of clarity before winter asks if that's what you really want. I dress and drive to the gas station.
 Turning off my car I can feel the cool wind coming from the shoreline. Walking to the waves I crane my neck the way Sam did and wish for the moon above me. I need to know what it saw. The ocean spray cools my body and nerves while waves kick sand on my boots. I stand there listening to the crashing for some time before someone pulls me from my depths.
I turn around to see the gas station worker, he waves. "Where did you kids go?" he calls over the crashing. "I thought you forgot about old Seb," he chuckles as he walks to meet me. "Was worried something happened,"
 "Something did... happen," I reply. He frowns, understanding my emphasis. "Yeah," I say heavily. I start walking away, I want to go to the cliffs. He stops me.
 "You know that guy came back a few nights later," he pauses, "he was looking for you. Said something like wanting 'to make sure that girl was alright,'" he pauses. "It took me a minute to realize he was talking about you. He said you looked sad," I must look confused because he fumbles on, "uh.. he uh was there the last night you and your friends were here...." he trails off, gesturing to the shore, "tall, dark hair, had an accent."
I trace that night back to it's beginning when a memory hits. Oh. Now, how does one tell Mr. Harry Styles, "Sorry about last night, it's just that I was sad and angry and had to spread my friends ashes"? Because unlike John Mulaney I haven't lost the best excuse I have.
"Has he been back since?" I ask.
 "Only once," he replies.
I smile a smile that has stopped reaching my eyes and pat his arm as I walk away, "Thanks, Seb." I say. I make it a few yards before he calls again.
"Oh! I gave him your name," I hear the triumph in his voice. Seb wasn't always the best for remembering. He's getting older and lost his wife a few years back.They ran the station together but ever since she passed it's just been him. We told him to hire help, even to hire one of us since that was our go-to snack shop when we're at the beach. However, he's a stubborn man and refuses the help he doesn't think he needs. I turn around to see him smile his wide, goofy smile and for a brief moment I'm happy with him.
"Did you now?" I ask playfully, "Then why hasn't my mysterious man found me yet?"
He shrugs, "Maybe just waiting for the right time, or to find you at my shop again," he smiles wide.
"Maybe," I respond, "I guess I'll have to come around more," I start walking away but suddenly I turn on my heels, as if forced by unseen hands, "Maybe instead, Seb, you could hire me? Increase my chances at seeing him."
He pauses to think. I know he thinks he doesn't need help, but I know he does and I need to help someone since I can't help myself. Or maybe I'm a masochist. Or maybe if I can meet my "mystery" man I'd have a break from this nightmare.
He sighs and walks over, "Well I guess it would be okay, since it's for love and all,"
I almost kiss him. "You're one lucky man, Seb." I put my arm around his shoulder, facing his station, and wave it in an arch like we were imagining a better world, "With my help we might even fix those potholes." He laughs and I lead him back to the station to fill out my paperwork.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I never make it to the cliffs, I end up helping Seb well into the night. When I pull up to my apartment I see my sister's car in a guest spot. I sigh heavily, taking a long drink of my melted slushie and make my way inside. She's asleep on my couch with reruns of the Golden Girls playing and a plate of uneaten food on the coffee table.
She wakes as I sit on the floor between her and the table and pick at the food. "Where were you?" she asks.
"I got a job working for Seb," I hold up the slushie.
"What? He actually hired you?" she half sits up, "What kind?"
I stick out my blue tongue and she lays back down in disgust. She likes the red. "Yes, Jo, my sweet talking is good for more than drinks in a bar," I say dryly.
"Well maybe you can get him to have better snacks," she opens the covers for me to join her. I crawl under the blankets with my big sister like I'm a child again and hope the protection she offers will keep my dreams at bay. But like many sailors and ships lost to its melody of waves, the siren sea calls me back.

Kuro extra ch107.5: a testimony to the characters’ agency
Kinda (super late!) companion piece to my take on overused comic relief being foreshadowing, especially since Sensei or Editor K did say that we could take that extra chapter as foreshadowing. 
Let’s start with Vincent then, since I made a post on the subject before: i.e Vincent’s offering us the intro and, more importantly, the conclusion to this extra chapter... 
Tumblr media
...which happens to be a summary of one of the main themes of the series. 
It’s also relevant for him to be the narrator of this extra chapter, taking on the role to bring wise words to us readers, because Vincent always expected to be killed several years before it actually happened, even if it’s likely that he never tried to do anything to escape this fate. 
It was also pointed out before that, back when he was still alive, he had weird moments of foreshadowing/breaking the 4th wall as well, which fits with his behavior in that extra chapter.
Vincent’s dead though and personally I doubt he’s coming back, so let’s move on to the rest of the cast in this chapter. 
First, where our main characters (Seb & Ciel) are concerned, there is...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...literally nothing to add. xDD Just kidding, but for real, we know that Ciel is after revenge and that Seb enjoys playing the butler in his little game with Ciel, meaning he’s just chilling till we get to the revenge part lmao. And that’s it. Next.
Let’s talk about Druitt, who organized this event... 
Tumblr media
seemingly innocent and kinda stupid as always at first...
Tumblr media
until his true colors are revealed, which was exactly the same in the JTR and Campania arcs. 
That’s why we can expect more involvement in the current arc or even in future ones, because Druitt tends to get involved in many messes of his own will (and always in relation to selfish interests), even if...
Tumblr media
...he’s not particularly dangerous on his own. xD
Since I don’t have a lot to say about Irene Diaz, because she’s pretty secondary, we’ll move on to Charles Grey, who has a history of getting in the way (the murders at manor arc) because not very fond of our!Ciel, but that’s nothing to really worry about because...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lizzie is a skilled fighter too and the extra chapter does foreshadow that, at some point, they’re probably going to face each other, on a matter that will most likely be related to our!Ciel (current arc?? idk maybe?). 
Speaking of Lizzie, her agency is described loud and clear in the extra chapter...
Tumblr media
...which happens to be similar to Finny’s...
Tumblr media
and since they’re both sweet children, I hope they’ll live long lives and that our!Ciel will one day thank them for their devotion. 
Moving on to Snake, who was also present...
Tumblr media
...this is particularly interesting, because it seems that a main part of Snake’s agency will always be related to his bonds to Noah’s Ark circus troop, which is probably foreshadowing that he may be conflicted when he finds out about what our!Ciel and the rest of his servants did to them.
Does this mean that he will leave the Phantomhive household or that he’ll forgive Ciel and his colleagues, I don’t know, but I think it’s rather clear that Snake will find out pretty soon about what happened to Joker and co (could even happen in this arc by the way, so brace yourselves folks).
About Grell now...
Tumblr media
...I think we get it. Next.
Let’s talk about Lau, whose behavior in the extra chapter is particularly on point with how he generally acts in the arcs Ciel asks him to get involved, which is to say...
Tumblr media
...that he always does whatever suits his best interests and he’s generally not bothered no matter what happens, be it Finny becoming a giant or Seb and real!Ciel coming back from the dead. xDD
That’s why the extra chapter foreshadows (in my opinion) that one day, once our!Ciel will stop being of interest to him, Lau will stab him in the back pretty naturally and with no hard feelings. 
This leaves us with only Frances and UT and well...
Tumblr media
...if the extra chapter doesn’t foreshadow that Frances is rarely bothered to ever get involved (the current arc anyone?) then I don’t know what is. 
I mean, crazy business is literally happening right under her eyes and she’s neither shocked, nor fighting or running away, just calmly supporting Lizzie’s wish to be of support to Ciel and handing her own rosette to Seb when they all ally to get rid of the giant snake. 
You can take it as her being fishy or as her being 100% confident that her kids will be alright as long as they’re together, just like it might just be that she wasn’t supposed to get a lot of panel in that chapter, either way it’s interesting. 
As for the Undertaker, the extra chapter makes it pretty clear that...
Tumblr media
...he’s trying very hard to bring the dead Phantomhives back from the dead (confirmed in ch140 to be his main motivation so far), but this chapter also may have hints about...
Tumblr media
what his link to the P family is. There we go, that’s basically everyone. 
One more thing I gotta point out though: most of the characters in this chapter fought over higher ranked-rosettes than their own, because it was supposed to grant them more power. 
Therefore, I find it’s particularly interesting to look at those who didn’t get involved, aka those who didn’t care about getting more power, because it tends to hint about fishy (or more complex) characters in general. So who are they? 
Well, there is Seb, because he had the highest ranked rosette in the first place, but also because in general he doesn’t care about much besides getting Ciel’s soul for his dinner. Pretty simple, but then again, Seb’s character is exactly that way. 
Ciel too, which is pretty revealing of his motivations in the story, because he cares about getting revenge over his enemies, yes, but he already has the strongest weapon at his disposal (Seb), so he doesn’t have to wish for more.
Again, I won’t ramble about Irene Diaz, not that I don’t like her (I do!) but she’s pretty much foreign to the main plot and that’s probably why she didn’t care to get a higher ranked rosette (instead probably running away or something). 
Lau’s case however is particularly interesting, because we know he only cares about meeting his own interests and yet he didn’t seek more power. 
That’s probably why he’s currently the most mysterious character of the story, because Sensei said before that he’s very interested in Ciel (and not in Seb), but that might not just be about business only. 
Maybe as long as Lau is entertained (as he said in ch13) that’s enough to keep him still and that’s why getting more powerful for no particular reason doesn’t tempt him? 
Next before last is Frances, neither bothered by the situation nor seeking more power, even very willingly giving her rosette to Seb when he needed it (following Ciel’s plan), which is pretty weird.
I mean, not only could she have wanted more power for many reasons (like keeping her kids alive for example or getting revenge by herself for her family), but the fact that she handed her rosette to Seb and literally left (she didn’t go back to the manor to have dinner with the rest of them) may hint that she only intends to be helpful without seeking more powerful means.
It could be a hint that she knows that powerful means may cause (or have already caused) the downfall of the rest of the family (look at Ciel selling his soul), or it could simply be because she’s pretty realistic like her brother (Vincent never tried to avoid his fate despite knowing he would die young). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Once again though, I notice a parallel between Frances and Ciel (friendly reminder that Seb once said he’d like her to be his master’s mentor), neither seeking to be more powerful than they already are, despite their family’s tragic circumstances (Ciel because he already has Seb and Frances because ??).
And finally, the Undertaker, who didn’t seek to get more powerful either. 
In fact he even gave up his own rosette at the end for the sake of trying to bring Vincent back, which is once again pretty in tune with how he’s ready to sacrifice literally everything to help salvaging the Phantomhive family. 
And if that doesn’t betray how much he loves them all (he’s the only one who did that in the chapter, knowing that no rosette = no panel) then I don’t know what is.
That’s about it. :)) Long post that’s, like, 3 years late, but thanks for reading as always!

Extended Family
Pairing: Sebastian x Reader
Warnings: Relationship hard patch  
Word Count: 1300ish
A/N: This is for my 1 year anniversary + 2k followers celebration. This drabble is for @ifyougetkilled-walk-it-off
It’s part of my LLL verse and it’s late summer 2014. Sebastian and Y/N have 8 months old Isabella, but they aren’t currently living together as their relationship hit a rough patch.  
Betaed by: Also Rach aka @ifyougetkilled-walk-it-off who also stars in the fic.
***My fics are not to be saved nor posted on any other sites without my express written permission.***
Tumblr media
Sebastian was spending a lot of time in the gym recently. Not because he was on a tight schedule to get ready for the third Captain America movie just yet, more because it helped him get out of his head.
Ever since he had moved out of the apartment he had basically lived in his suitcase. His mom and friends had expressed concern for him as he spent the occasional night on their couches before heading back to a hotel. He didn’t have a stable base and they thought he needed that. It wasn’t untrue. Sebastian was starting to feel like a drifter in his own hometown, but the issue was he didn’t want to create a new home. He wanted Y/N and Isabella. He wanted to resolve things with Y/N and move back home. The only thing was he was scared to push her. She had said she needed space when he moved out and he was determined to give her that. Even if it meant his heart was breaking a little more each day he wasn’t spending with the woman he loved and his daughter.
So to get out of his head and focus on something other than his shortcomings he was spending time at the gym. He was just finishing up for the day when Don’s voice sounded through the room calling out his name.
“Hi, Seb. There’s a woman here to see you.”
Sebastian frowned as he put down the weights, heading towards the front. A smile broke on his face when he saw the young woman standing in the front area scrunching her nose as she saw him.
“Well, you look gross,” Rach spoke with a glimmer in her eyes. Rachel Lee was Y/N’s best friend and bandmate. Sebastian hadn’t seen her for a long time, but something about her presence put him at ease. Rachel was loving and easy to get on with. She had quickly become like the little sister he never had. Sebastian hadn’t realized how much he had missed her too until she was standing right in front of him, pushing him away when he tried to give her a hug.
“Ew no! Are you crazy?” she complained with a smile as Sebastian laughed at her, giving her cheek a kiss instead.
“You smell like a gym sock,” she complained, pulling a face at him, making Sebastian chuckle.
“Well, it’s good to see you too, Rach,” he spoke, before looking more solemn. “Y/N is not here.”
“I know,” Rach answered with a sigh.
Of course, she knew. There wasn’t much the two women didn’t share. Sebastian knew that, so he just nodded, lowering his head slightly preparing himself for what was coming. There was no doubt in his mind where Rachel’s allegiance lied and he only saw one reason for her visit. He had fucked up. He had told Rachel once that he would never hurt Y/N. He had never meant to but somehow he had anyway. He still wasn’t sure what had gone wrong between them, but he didn’t blame Y/N. He deserved whatever Rach was about to say to him.
“Seb. Can we talk? Is there an office here or something?” Rach asked. Sebastian looked up at her. He was surprised to see she seemed more anxious that she seemed angry.
“Yeah… Yes,” Sebastian nodded, quickly yelling back at Don if it was okay to borrow his office for a while. After the shouted back a confirmation, Sebastian held out his hand showing Rachel the way down a hallway before opening a door for her. Not as soon did the door close before Sebastian turned around to face her. Whatever this was he didn’t want to drag it out. He already felt his heart pumping faster as he fought to keep his body under control and not spin into a full-blown panic attack.
“What’s up?”
“Seb, I consider you family,” Rachel took a step towards him and her face softened a little when the confusion must have shown on his face. “You know that right?”
“I… I consider you family too. I just… With the way things are…” Sebastian babbled and he felt the tears press against his eyes as he spoke. Thinking about where he stood with Y/N was painful. They weren’t hostile towards each other at all. They seemed slightly less tense that they had a week ago, but things were still off between them. It was like they didn’t know how to be around each other and it had never been like that before. Not even before they were dating and Sebastian had walked around with feelings for her for months before admitting to them. He had never felt out of place with her before. He did now and he hated the feeling.
“They miss you. Y/N doesn’t know how to say that right now but she misses you like crazy. And that little girl needs her father,” Rachel continued and the tears started to fall down Sebastian’s cheeks. He didn’t try to hide them. He had no reason too.
“I miss them too. So much,” Sebastian choked out and Rachel reached out to take his hand.
“I know that. You two need each other. You’re good for each other. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t believe that,” Rachel said softly and Sebastian looked down.
He was so overwhelmed with emotions he didn’t know what to do. He didn’t know what to think or to say.
“What do I do? I want them back,” Sebastian muttered and Rachel squeezed his hand.
“I think it’s gonna take a bit of time. And I think you and Y/N are going to need to talk to someone, but right now you could go to her,” Rachel smiled when Sebastian looked back into her eyes with a surprised look on his face.
“I think Isa might be teething. Either way, she is grumpy as hell and she has a slight fever. Nothing serious,” Rachel quickly added when she saw the worried look in Sebastian’s eyes. “But Y/N is tired. Damn stubborn too so she won’t call you but she needs you there. They both do.”
“I can’t just go over there,” Sebastian stuttered, wanting nothing more than to run out the door and back home right that instance. “She said she needed a break.”
“She doesn’t know what she needs right now,” Rachel sounded a little sharper. “Y/N needed the fighting to stop and she had no idea how else to make that happen than to ask you to move out. She never stopped loving you and I very much doubt she ever will.”
Sebastian choked up and without warning he took a step forward, wrapping his arms around Rachel in a tight embrace. He didn’t think about how long or hard he was holding her for. He just took comfort in having her close. If Rachel was here asking him to go home he had to believe there was still hope. She was Y/N’s oldest friend and no one would know Y/N’s heart better Rachel.
“Can’t breathe,” Rachel hissed and Sebastian instantly let her go, looking down sheepishly.
“Sorry,” he muttered.
“And now I stink, too. Thanks, Seb,” Rachel scolded, with a playful glimmer in her eye, making him chuckle.
“Now go see them,” Rachel pushed him backward out of the door and Sebastian quickly pressed a kiss to her cheek.
“I will. Thanks, Rach,” he grinned before twirling around and basically running down the hallway, smiling a little to himself as he heard Rachel yell after him.
“Shower first!”

Playing Devil's Advocate: Reunion Edition (Part Five)
Tumblr media
That’s right! Another devil’s advocate before one of the most anticipated weeks in fandom.  This is a different type of devil’s advocate though. This is going to be a fun devil's advocate. With the all the social media countdowns, pictures, offhand comments and general fan merriment it has been a fun time to be in the Emmerdale fandom. If you are a Robron, Vanity or Coira fan at least. It is not a great month for the antis. You had a whole year my dears. It is our turn now.
With that said, I will be looking at two popular speculations about the reunion and arguing if it could happen or not.  The third one is more personal and doesn’t have Robert or Aaron involved. Don’t forget to read to the end. I give my opinion on where I fall in all speculation and what I hope to see in the future.
So, let's crack on!
Speculation #1: Aaron Gets the DJ to Play their song in the club to get Roberts attention. (The Big Gesture)
I feel this speculation is on the nose and doesn’t need explanation.
Why This Will Happen
Aaron knows he must make a big gesture to counteract all the harm he has started this week. To do that Aaron would have to do something to get Robert’s attention. Playing their song in a crowd, Aarons own version of ‘Going in there and saying it loud.’  It might not even be with the DJ; it could be Aaron jumping on the mike or even walking up to ‘Aaron Dingle Lite Mike’ and causing a scene just like Robert did with Alex the first time he saw them together. Aaron will have to pull out the big guns to get Robert’s attention to even talk to him.
Why This Won’t Happen
Aaron is not the romantic type. He is romantic in small ways. Keeping a watch. Wanting the Vegas coin engraved.  Taking Roberts underwear to prison. He is a quiet romantic. Big gestures, even in this scenario would not be on Aarons radar. Aaron is quiet. He will try and get Robert on his own. Talk to him. Try and convince him in his own way. Maybe wear the watch. Bring the watch with him. Maybe he has been holding onto their wedding picture on his phone. It is the simple, quiet things that make Aaron a romantic.
Speculation #2:  This is all on Aaron now.
Since Aaron has been the one sending mixed messages, trying to kiss Robert, pushing Robert away, doing what he does on their wedding anniversary, the getting back together part has to be on Aaron.
Why This Will Happen
Robert has been in the forefront for the past year. He has been grasping and trying to get Aaron back only to realize that at Christmas, he needed to let him go and just learn to be friends. Robert has taken off his ring and moved on. He is confident that they don’t have a chance and that he will have to learn to be his friend. Now that Aaron has confused Robert, it is up to him to do the work to get Robert back into the fold. Aaron has to put in the work to convince Robert that he loves him and wants him back. Robert did his part and now it's up to Aaron to do his.
Why This Won’t Happen
No matter what, Robert and Aaron follow a pattern. Aaron will only go so far before Robert takes over and runs them both to the finish line. They both might have grown up and changed a lot in the past year, but sometimes certain things never change. Aaron will only go so far before Robert figures things out on his on and pushes them both to the finish line. That finish line being a couple again. I noticed it sounded dirtier than indeed. Finish line equals being a couple again. Unless you want it to sound dirty, go right ahead!
Speculation #3: Ross and Victoria find comfort in each other.
Victoria is stressed out. She lost Adam, is taking care of Rebecca and is just in a holding pattern.  Ross is upset because his life has been turned upside down since the acid attack.  Both were already dancing around each other, and soon they will confide in each other. Make each other feel a bit better. Become proper friends (Ross finally makes friends with a woman first), and then they develop into something more.
Why This Could Happen
The show was chemistry testing them and have passed what I call, “The Joey Principle” aka their real-life relationship doesn’t affect the chemistry on screen between their characters.  It has been a long time since Ross and Victoria have been in a relationship that would have to be built up over time.  It would be different for the characters (working through pervious issues, figuring out new issues and going forward) and they can comfort each other. Keep the Barton/Sugden line going after all. (Much to Robert’s horror).
Why This Couldn’t Happen
They have been tested before, and nothing came of it. The show might have used them as a way to talk about Adam and giving more of a point of view to Victoria as they slowly focused back on Adam. Those two always seem like ships in the night. Always passing but never connecting.  Ross might still be connected to Debbie. Victoria might be stuck in White Drama land for a bit longer. Those two might just never cross.
Final Thoughts
I have seen so much speculation for the reunion and beyond. It makes me happy to see so many happy about the future after spending the last year in pain, fighting with each other and sadness.  This is the kind of speculation that I adore. Happy and fluffy speculation is good for the soul. Yes, we might be building up hopes a little too high, but I feel like its ok to do that right now. The episodes were written by Maxine, and she never disappoints.
So, here is where I stand on Robert and Aaron reunion and beyond.  I think it's up to Aaron to make Robert realize that he does love him, want him and need him.  After the past week and a half that will take a lot for Robert to think Aaron even cares about him.  Robert felt something shift with that Valentines Day and tried to get Aaron to talk about it.  All the hope curded the minute Aaron played a few mind games with him. Aaron didn’t do it on purpose, but he did it, and now Robert is going to push away a lot easier than before. It is up to Aaron to get Robert back into the fold. However, once Robert is back and believes Aaron wants, loves, and needs him again, Robert should be meeting Aaron halfway. They both got to meet in the middle this time around.  Be better than the last run of their relationship. Well, try and be better for a soap couple. Be each other’s best friends and push forward together. Become that family with Liv and Seb that we all wanted to see before (I know Seb is still a point of contention for some).  Aaron and Robert have come back to each other (its been a year) and they will never look back.
As for Victoria and Ross. I’m such a huge fan of this possible couple. That’s why I threw them in there at the end. Get the conversation going about them.  I feel like they were testing them out earlier in the year to see how they would play and they got some attention. I’d love it if they both became friends and supported each other. It would be a breath of fresh air for Victoria and give Ross someone else to play against. Debbie and Ross are played out. Time to give Ross and Victoria someone new to play with. I say, viva Roctoria! (I know for a fact that one person just shuttered reading that ship name. Sorry Justine!).
I sincerely think this week will have high highs and low lows. It will address many issues left over and give us a new starting point for Robert and Aaron. Also, give us a better place to start with Vanessa and Charity as well.  What do you think? What are your speculations? Share with me below or visit me on Tumblr @AmandaJ718! Don’t forget to check out some of the other devil’s advocates I have written in the past. It is good for a laugh or two. Until next time, I will see you around in Emmerdale!

Ok:
Luna, you’re the best. You’re smart, you’re talented, you’re dedicated, you’re creative and caring, a wonderful listener, so much fun to debate with, and the best friend anyone could ever ask for. I’m so grateful for everything you’ve helped me with ever since we started talking; I respect your resolve. You’re unique and amazing, and I’m so, so sorry this is happening to you.
I won’t go into detail because it’s a complicated story that’s also way too long, but I’ve sort of felt that way before too (thinking it might be better if I just disappeared/wishing I didn’t exist/feeling worthless). It sucks.
I don’t know if this’ll help, but just know that I’m always here to listen if you need it. You can Email me (though I guess that’s probably not an option lol) or just, like, I don’t know, maybe post something on the blog like ‘Evans can we talk’ and I’ll definitely see it and respond because I stalk this place 24/7 (Evans is a creep please don’t encourage her). I’ve also been considering finally getting a tumblr so maybe we’ll be able to PM each other sometime.
There’s absolutely nothing to apologize for. It’s really brave to talk about stuff like this (I never can). And if there’s any way I can help, please, let me know.
  (Also, funny story (it’s actually gross and is basically just Evans whining about stuff):
I know from experience that stomach-related sicknesses suck. When I first started taking swimming lessons I was an idiot with zero stamina who could barely swim halfway across the pool without coming up for air, so needless to say, I ended up gulping a ton of water (especially since my teacher didn’t go easy on me; mom told her not to because I’m a sloth and I usually won’t do any exercise on my own besides simple stretches and some walking/running). I mean, the water in swimming pools is usually a bit disgusting, and it’s even worse where I take lessons because it’s a pretty old place and I don’t think it gets cleaned that often… so not only did accidentally swallowing it trigger my clean-freak senses, I also ended up with a terrible stomachache. I thought it was fine, that it would pass. But then I got a fever and every other thing I ate made me feel like someone was twisting my intestines from the inside, I couldn’t even lie down and rest for a sec because whenever I moved or tried to change positions it got even worse ;p; (also my mom never let it go, she kept jokingly 'reminding’ me that water from a swimming pool is not something you should drink after I started swimming again. I guess I kinda deserved it, though. I was an idiot))
That sounds so lovely <3 I’d really love to go visit Norway myself sometime, though I’ll probably have to wait a few years (my mom has back problems that make it painful for her to stay in one position for too long, so long plane/car rides are a huge no). And oooh if you have any good pictures I’d love to see them :D
Thanks, I’m glad I managed to explain my shipping reasons (like it’s so hard to properly talk about why I ship stuff sometimes XD)! I would give anything to have you join me in Stoki hell so let me just recommend basically the entire Remember This Cold series (it’s angsty as heck so proceed with caution…there are bits of humor and fluff in there, though, and then some extremely rare (almost) pure fluff fics. Like the one where Steve wants to propose but is a nervous bean because Loki’s a PRINCE and he wants to make it perfect). I’ll also try to find some more good fics later becase I can’t remember any titles right now ^^;;
YES ANOTHER T'CHALLA FAN I adore this guy (also I feel like he has a really cool voice. Not really sure why, it just sounds so nice). I really respect him for his attitude towards Steve and Bucky after he figures out Bucky’s not the real murderer, and how he later stops letting his anger towards his father’s killer consume him.
We’ll fangirl over the Black Panther movie together when it comes out, won’t we *schwing*
(right after I wrote 'schwing’ I got this mental image of Hisoka having his glowing, expolsive schwing moments after seeing T'Challa. And then Hisoka schwinging in theater while watching MCU movie fight scenes. Why am I like this)
I can draw, but I don’t know how to animate so these memes will never be a thing ;-; it’s so sad, I’ve got everything planned out…everytime eyes are mentioned the screen zooms in on Illumi’s eyes (yes even when Illumi’s not in the song because he’s a Zoldyck assassin, you can’t keep him out) and the word 'eyes’ gets the weird treatment where all these high/low/metallic(?) voices get layered so it sounds like the creepiest thing ever
('History has its eyes on you but it’s actually Illumi’ is both the animatic I want to see the most and the animatic I hope will never be created)
Fun HxH facts I want to let you know about:
Kite (AKA Ging’s student and Gon’s big brother figure) is dead and has been brainwashed into being a weapon/punching bag for his captors. When sunshine angel Gon meets the new Kite he lets Kite beat him up and then hugs him, promising to save him (THE FEEEEEEELSS)
Forgot to mention this about Chrollo, but when Kurapika killed one of his troupe (a guy named Uvogin), Chrollo acted all cool and never really talked about Uvo…
but then he had the rest of the troupe murder 2000 mafiosi guarding a building they were trying to get into, and while watching the chaos from afar, listening to their enemy’s screams, he started waving his hands as if conducting an orchestra…
“Uvogin-san. Can you hear it? This requiem we’re dedicating to you.”
(jeez Chrollo we know you’re extra but you can’t just murder 2000 people and play a funeral march with their cries of horror every time you lose a subordinate)
Lastly: There’s a new character named Knuckle who’s like the HxH version of Metal Bat. He is the sweetest cinnamon roll. I love him. I’ll send you a pic later
So um did you hear the news about Hinami
(Queen Luna cosplaying Maka(? or any of the other three MCs)…omg that sounds so awesome)
*facepalm* ok WHOOPS I actually read about that on the SE wiki a while ago. How did I forget about it
Yep! It was so good <33 (Lizzy looks so graceful and pretty I can’t even) I actually found the whole movie on YT but just watched the parts I was really looking forward to seeing animated, like UT’s fight scene, Seb getting stabbed, the rest of the Midford family…(Francis’ hair shocked me. Idk how to feel about it. At first I thought it made her look like an old lady, but then, the more I look at it, the prettier it gets…like, it’s actually a really nice design, but I guess I got too used to manga!Francis lol)
Light is the trash GOD.
(hope you get to read the light novel! As far as I know it’s got a TON of L and Naomi in it so it might make you feel better :D)
Oh yeah, I get what you mean. Light’s reasoning/views on the justice system probably connects a lot to the culture and social issues of Japan at the time.
DN’s probably still one of the easier-to-adapt mangas out there, though, since the themes of justice and questioning the idea of 'greater good’ is something anyone can relate to (and they still botched it, I’m very salty about this and you can’t stop me ;-; even with how terrible Ryuk and Rem looked in them, the Japanese movies were WAY better, and it’s actually pretty rare that Japan makes a good live-action movie from a manga or anime. Apparently the TG movie that came out this year was pretty good too, though :D).
(I apparently somehow accidentally erased the part where I mentioned I actually read HCs/theories about Japanese-American Light on tumblr somewhere….that’s what got me thinking about it.
I agree though, seeing how different cultures would change Light’s character would be very interesting.)
The lack of potato chips doomed the entire Keikaku from the start.
I can see you being similar to Pearl too! I think I’m maybe a bit like Lapis…or possibly Connie. Or maybe Blue Diamond because I also cry way too much (but then again BD actually has a reason to be miserable so)
Those are both cool gems<3 and yeah, they’re both really pretty :D
I was talking about gem 'roles’ back on Homeworld, though ^^;; like, how Pearls are considered servants or pretty accessories, Diamonds are leaders, fusions like Garnet are outcasts, Rubies are 'dumb muscle’, Sapphires are valuable prophets, Peridots are tech experts, Jaspers are soldiers…sorry, I should’ve been more specific OTL
I’d probably be a Pearl lol. I could see myself being a Peridot and being scared to death without a Quartz soldier to guard me but I’m not good with any kind of technology so nah.
And sorry for asking weird questions, I forgot it’s been a while since you watched the show ^^;;
Hey, don’t feel bad about slow replies! Like I said before, I seriously don’t mind as long as you’re ok :D and I’m so glad I’ve managed to help.
('a friend I appreciate’ *ugly sobbing* thank you)
Did someone say suffering?
*'Remember That We Suffered’ plays in the background*
DID THE QUEEN JUST SAY 'Goals’ ABOUT SOMETHING I MADE OMG I’M FREAKING OUT TYSM
Ayyy I’m so glad you liked them! (The Hide pic was painted with the intent to kill)
(last thing:
I’m sorry, this is probably really creepy, but I ended up telling my mom about you because she asked who I was talking to (she knows I have internet friends and has seen me writing messages before). Since I’m only 13 she worries about the people I talk (she knows all my friends on ao3) so I told her some small things like your age, that you’re from Croatia, that you play the piano too and that you mentioned having a sister.
I’m really, really sorry if this makes you uncomfortable, mom just worries a lot and she likes to hear about my friends (like, she worries for my safety on the internet so she has to ask me some basic things about the people I talk with, and when she knows I have a good friend on the internet she sometimes wants to hear if my relationship with them is ok). I’d never tell her something really private but sometimes she wants to talk and I know she worries for me so I do tell her small, random details from our convos.
if you’re uncomfortable with that, though, I’ll stop. Again, I’m so sorry about this.)
And after two weeks of silence, the species finally shows some signs of life.  ;-;
I’m totally not crying.  I’ve said this so many times and you’re probably getting annoyed, but I have no idea what I did to deserve you in my life.  You’re actually the only person I’d told about my current mental state at that time, and I’m so glad you didn’t freak out or just write it away as me overreacting (like my mom did), and it means so so so much to me. Truly, thank you for being here for me. (And not giving up on me, considering how long my replies take ;-;)
I’m here for you as well, though, so if you’re ever feeling down, you can message me ^^ 
Oh, it’d be cool if you’d get a tumblr! I can guarantee my replies would be faster then, since the messages would show up in my notifications...
Also, to brighten things up a little, this is how I picture you at the beginning of the message:
Tumblr media
Oh  god that sounds disgusting XD And perfectly describes why I don’t wanna do swimming as a sport. Are you still swimming? It’d be cool if you were, cause it’s a really beautiful sport imo. 
That’s unfortunate... Hopefully you’ll be able to visit it someday ^^
Tbh considering the shit I unironically ship sometimes, no ship is weird enough to be unexplainable. Name a single reason why you ship it, and it’s valid in my eyes. Heck, it can be ‘they look good together’ and I’ll say ‘makes sense’. Y’know why? Because I’m one of those ppl who will ship it if they so much as look at each other.
ok fun fact: I’ve loved T’Challa since I was like 8, because every summer, there would be a weekly publication of superhero comics, and Black Panther was almost always there, and I was a nerd even then, so I’d always buy them. Other than Spiderman, Black Panther was my favourite superhero. 
Lololol I need the HxH Cast watching MCU movies. Oh yeah, I found this a while ago and immediately thought of you:
Tumblr media
Amazing... If you ever learn to animate, please send me a link, because I will pay money to see that. Just. I’m not even into HxH, but I’d give up a lot to see the crossover XD
Ouch, that seems like a lot of feels... Seriously I have no idea where you get the mental strength to read to many angsty moments...
um, yeah... i have actually... but um, she’s alive, right?
Turns out I gave my skirt I’d used to charity, so until i find a replacement, I can’t take any pics... well, at least i can grow my hair out to Maka’s length till that happens XD
I adore the movie, seriously, the animators did such an amazing job with it, especially the most important scenes. BUT HECK; WHEN WILL WE FIND OUT WHAT OUR CIEL’S NAME IS?? It’s been hinted that it’s quite unusual, BUT THAT MAKES IT EVEN HARDER HNNNGH
Oh yeah, I’m gonna find that novel even if it kills me, because I need the L. 
lol I still haven’t forgiven the movie adaptation of Avatar the Last Airbender. It was so bad that most people (including me are denying its existence). I might watch Death Note some time soon, so I can judge it for myself tbh... 
Of course, the chips were a vital part of the Keikaku... No wonder it didn’t succeed...
No worries! It’s not your fault! Tbh, i dont think id even reached that part when I was watching it, so it’s interesting to hear all the roles...  Aw, you’d be an adorable Peridot ^^
Tbh ‘friend that I appreciate’ doesn’t even begin to describe how precious you are to me. You’re the first online friend I made and the first person I told about my mental state, so honestly, you’re one of the people I feel closest to...
Nah, I don’t find it creepy at all!! Seriously, I sometimes tell my parents about people I talk to, so I’ve mentioned well ^^ It’s your choice what/who you’ll talk about ^^
