The Blake Family + sewing

[rwby-encrusted-blog]

can we get more domestic bees? Sorry, that's not the most specific thing ever,

Nah, It's fine. More specific than some asks I've gotten.

~~~~~

Blake: *Gaming*

Yang: Are you winning-

Blake: *Jumps, scrambles to cover screen with her hands* ...

Computer: mmmh. I feel Dizzy- and you? Are you alright?

Yang: ... Watcha playing?

Blake: ... Baldur's gate Three?

Yang: Was that Karlach's voice? You and her just do something?

Blake: *Blushing* N-No?

Yang: Oh really? *Taking Shirt off* Because I wouldn't blame you if she reminded you of *Flexes, Burns* Someone~

Blake: *Licks lips*

Yang: Oh? You look Hungry Soldier-

Blake: *Pounces*

Yang: AAH!

~~~~~ Weiss: Yang? Yeah, why does my card have charges on for heat and sweat resistant Red Body Paint? Among other things? Are you getting into 'Cosplaying' or something?

Yang: One could call it that.

Weiss: .... Wyll is a better companion than Shadowheart.

Yang: I will kill you.

Yang: (whistling as she saunters through the house, over to the bookshelf, and takes the old, beat up copies of Blake’s favorite books before bringing them to the basement workshop)

Weiss: ......What was that about?

Ruby: I don't know.... but I'm terrified to see how Blake reacts when she notices all of her favorite books are missing.

Three Months Later

Blake: (seething in her reading chair as she begrudgingly reads an ebook on her scroll)

Yang: (bursts out from the basement with a huge grin) Babe! I got a surprise for you!

Blake: Unless it's the whereabouts of my books, I'm not in the mood. My eyes are straining from the light on my scroll.

Yang: Oh, your books are in the basement- (gets tackled to the floor) DOUPH!!!

Blake: (murderous aura surrounding her figure) Say again?

Yang: Yeah... I brought your books downstairs-

Blake: And you never considered telling me when I asked you the HOW many times I asked you if you knew where my books were?

Yang: It would have spoiled the surprise.

Blake: (blinks) .....You have my attention.

Yang: (sits up and carries Blake into the basement where all of Blake’s favorite books have been rebound in custom leather bindings and covers) Ta-Da!

Blake: (shocked) Yang, what in Remnant?

Yang: I wanted to do something to make your books last a little longer. Those bad boys were falling apart when I got to them.

Blake: (Picks up one of the novels and traces her finger along the reinforced spine before flipping over the heavy-duty, dark leather cover. The title is carved into the front with ornate designs and colored in goldleaf)

Yang: What do you think?

Blake: You could have just bought me hardcovers, you know.

Yang: Where's the fun in that?

Blake: (Places the book back on the table and throws her arms around Yang’s neck) You're amazing.

Yang: (beaming as she returns the hug) I try.

Blake: But if you ever hide my books from me like this again, we're going to have words.

Yang: R-Right! Got it.

[paeeje]

I am frothing at the mouth thinking of how Blake and Yang are going to interact with each other from here on out. I see them walking hand in hand, Yang swinging their arms and Yang just not being able to stop saying “Girlfriend. You’re my girlfriend! I have a a girlfriend! Blake Belladonna is my girlfriend and she loves me!” And Blake laughs and pulls her in for a cheek kiss and says “Yes, Yang. I love you.” And Weiss makes a gagging sound

[tequiilasunriise]

Let’s see here- an abusive, narcissistic prick who manipulates women and has a clear red raging bull design but the fandom calls him a “fucken goatman” regardless?

At the very least Adam was so homophobic that, in a roundabout way, he became the number one Bumbleby truther (“I will make it my mission to destroy everything you love, starting with her”, “WHAT DOES SHE EVEN SEE IN YOU?!”, etc etc), the fuck does Montyass got going fer him???

this rewatch of sdmi has so far been a combination of skipping around and watching straight through from the beginning, and my feelings are increasingly that shaggy, daphne, and marcie are precious and oh my god someone please get these poor kids away from everyone else in this cast

[dragynkeep]

Can you elaborate on your adam and blake post and what could have been better? because the VA herself didn't give me vibes of being afraid like an abuse victim

i've talked before how i think tauradonna functions as a caricature of an abusive relationship & why it can be hard for people to relate to this because of that but mainly it's the point that we never actually get the relationship.

we get mixed recollections of the relationship before blake ran away, where they were mentor / student, potentially more, the comic has it that blake pursues adam while he doesn't want her & the vas are outright calling him a pedophile.

then we have the most outlandish "abuse" scenes that reek of caricatures because we don't have the "normal" basis of their relationship to see this build up in the actual cycle of abuse. we don't see the honeymoon period, the build up of tension, the incidents & what follows that. we have adam preaching like a one note, saturday morning villain & then him physically assaulting blake but in the context of them being enemies, which muddies the waters.

without this being a defined relationship & them actually being fleshed out, the abuse defines them & then becomes a caricature. ironically the writers developed a more realistic & believable abuse storyline in blake's treatment of sun in v4, where they have their honeymoon periods & then blake mistreating sun because he made her angry or did something she didn't like.

Home is Where the Heart Is

Yn is a former BAU agent, currently working at Georgetown. She met Alex whilst working for the FBI and is navigating her life with her and their son, Ethan.

Pairing: Alex Blake x Reader

Content Warnings: kind of CM case talk

Word Count: 1800+

Genre: Family Fluff

A/N: I'm going to stand by the fact that Alex Blake is the softest of the soft people, hence this needed to happen. I also hate how little recognition Ethan got in the show so I'm gonna give my boy what he deserves here. I'm thinking of making this into a series of one shots, different Blake Fam x Reader scenarios (may include some angst, knowing me it will) so please let me know what you think of this <3)

Joining the BAU was a dream come true, your way of making the world a safer, better place. And it just so happened to come with many other advantages. Although the beginnings were a little rough for you, feeling very out of place while being surrounded with FBI’s finest agents, soon enough they made you feel like a part of the family, like you truly belonged with them. And throughout the years you got to be a part of the team you’ve formed some of the best friendships with people that you knew you could trust with your life. But there was this one agent you held especially close to your heart, Alex Blake. Ever since she joined the team, the two of you were inseparable. One evening she finally asked you out on a date, to which you have immediately agreed. Falling in love with Alex was easy. Loving her even more so. Months went by and with that your relationship grew, soon enough you were introduced to her son, Ethan. The most precious little boy to ever exist. Not so long after that you moved in together and just a few months in Alex asked you to marry her. And this was your life now, you’ve never been happier.

But there were some definite downsides of the job. After all, there is only so much a human can take, the BAU knew it better than anyone else. There is only so much evil you can be exposed to before it starts consuming you from the inside out. You used to hold onto the last string of hope in each investigation, the hope that the last missing person would be found alive and there would be a somehow happy ending to this story. But at some point, even that was not enough. Over the years you’ve seen some of the worst horrors this world had to offer, you were met with death and misery at every step of your days. You’ve seen families torn apart, lives snatched away prematurely, unnecessary pain inflicted onto so many individuals. You’ve seen enough. You’ve had enough.

Making the decision to leave the team was not easy. You’ve spent countless hours contemplating whether or not to make that step before even mentioning anything to Alex. And after weeks of thinking, weeks of constant arguments in your head, making lists of pros and cons to both options, you finally decided that your time with the team has come to an end. 

Breaking the news to the team was easier said than done. You made a detailed plan how to tell each and every one of them personally, but when the time to put the words into action came you came up with a much better idea. Hotch was the first one, after all he was the person you handed your resignation letter to. Penelope was the second in line (or so she thought), you couldn’t stop yourself from making fun of her for the last time. In reality, you told the whole team that you were leaving and what your plan was, except for her. You knew the blonde woman could not hold a secret in for the life of her, so you all made bets on how long it will take her to spill the tea. When you broke the news to her, one on one, you talked about it as if you didn’t want the rest of the team to know. It took her a whole hour and thirty-four minutes to break, telling everything you told her to Morgan and Spencer. 

That was it. You were no longer an agent working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Just a short few weeks after leaving you managed to secure yourself a nice position as a lecturer at Georgetown University, finally putting your PhD in Biological Sciences to use. 

***

Working at Georgetown was peaceful, the change you so desperately needed. There wasn’t much going on, your days mostly consisted of teaching, going over the material for your classes and marking your students’ papers. To some it might seem a little too boring, but you loved the newly found routine. 

After finishing marking of the last papers, you’ve had for the day it was time to go home. Alex was away on a case for the past few days and you’d be lying if you said you didn’t hope for a phone call from her, telling you that they’re on their way back. 

Just as you got into your car the sound of your ringtone filled the space, getting rid of the silence that previously surrounded you. You smiled to yourself as you read the name that popped up on your screen.

“Hi honey.” the soft voice on the phone spoke, “I think I might have some good news for you.” Alex added, you could tell she was smiling from the way her voice sounded.

“Please tell me you’re coming home; I don’t think anything else would classify as good news at this point.” you replied to the brunette, hopeful you got it right.

“I am, indeed, we’re wrapping up at the station and we’re going to head straight to the jet.” your fiancé said with the usual for her calmness, you, on the other hand, could not contain our excitement. “I’ll see you in a few hours?”

“I can’t wait! I’ve missed you so much baby, so did Ethan” you stated, your voice filled with excitement. “He’s been begging me to do crosswords with him at least five times a day and you know how much I suck at them”

“Oh, come on, you’re not that bad” Alex chuckled, “I’m sure you’ve got at least one of the words right.”

You rolled your eyes and chuckled at your fiancés’ words, the bar for you was set really low, yet somehow you still managed to underperform. “Nope, not a single one, I don’t think Ethan will ever stop making fun of me for that.” Alex laughed as the words left your mouth, “but what can I say, I’d like to see either of you in my lab”

“I think putting me there would be a major safety hazard and you know that” the linguist added, still laughing at your previous statements. “I’m gonna have to go now but see you in a few hours, I love you sweetheart”

“I love you too, Lex.” you assured, after which Alex finished the call. 

On your way home you made a few brief stops to run some errands, you also picked up some of Alex’s favourite takeaway. Cooking wasn’t your strong side, but baking was, and your fiancé was completely aware of that. You usually opted for ordering food when it was your turn to make dinner, another effective tactic you’ve developed over the months was trading your cooking turns by agreeing to make some of Alex’s and Ethan’s favourite desserts.

The last stop you had to make on your way home was the little boy’s school. 

“Hi Mama!” the squeaky voice roamed through the space in your car as Ethan entered it, making himself comfortable in his car seat. 

“Hi honey, make sure to fasten your seatbelt” you replied to him softly. Ethan was a complete copy of Alex, dark, somewhat curly hair forming beautiful waves, big hazel eyes, contrasting with his pale skin, which was covered in light freckles, a precious addition to his face. “How was your day at school?” 

“It was okay!” the little boy cheered to you, “Is mommy coming back home tonight? I really miss her.”

“She is actually! I’ve just talked to her and she should be back in the next few hours,” Ethan’s eyes lit up at your words, “don’t you worry you won’t have to do crosswords with me again” you added chuckling.

“I love you mama but you’re really not good and them.” E.T. teased, a cheeky smile plastered on his face.

You laughed in response to the dark-haired boy’s words. The rest of the drive home was peaceful, Ethan told you some more details about how his day at school went, talking about some of the friends he made, the teachers and what new things he learned that day. It wasn’t long until you reached your final destination, you took the food out of the car and the two of you started heading towards your apartment.

When you opened your front door a lovely smell of your favourite dish filled your nostrils, that’s when you knew Alex, was already home.

“Alex?” you questioned as you and Ethan started taking your shoes and coats off

“In the kitchen!” the woman exclaimed, you knew she had a habit of giving you the wrong time when she planned to come back home, wanting to let you know she was coming back yet still wanting to somewhat surprise you.

“MOMMY!” Ethan called as he ran to the kitchen, filled with joy and excitement to finally have his best crossword buddy back in the house.  “I’ve missed you so much!”

“Aw I’ve missed you too love bug,” she said as she gave the little boy the biggest hug she could, simultaneously picking him up. “And you, I missed you too” the dark-haired woman smiled as she directed her gaze your way. 

“You said you’d be home late in the evening!” you jokingly snarled as you took a few more steps towards her, letting her place a soft kiss to your cheek.

“You can’t blame me for wanting to surprise two of my favourite humans with a nice meal, can you?” she giggles as she put her son down.

“I see we’ve had the same plans Doctor Blake” you smiled as you put the bag with Alex’s favourite takeout on the kitchen island, at which Alex laughed and proceeded to place anther soft kiss, this time on your forehead.

The evening went by peacefully, filled with laughter and Ethan’s snarky remarks regarding your crossword skills. You decided to have Alex’s pasta for dinner, saving the takeaway for the next day, or a midnight snack. Etty was delighted to finally be able to do some crosswords with someone qualified and you just enjoyed watching the two people you loved most. The three of you ended the evening snuggled up on the couch of your living room, Alex in the middle so both you and Ethan would get equal amounts of hugs that you so dearly missed. You decided to watch one of Ethan’s favourite disney films, Frozen. As much as you didn’t want to admit that in front of Alex, it was one of your favourites too. The little boy ended up falling asleep halfway through the movie, snoring gently as he was curled up, wrapping his arms around Alex. When the film finished, you carefully took him to his room, tucking him in his bed, leaving a gentle kiss on his forehead. You joined Alex in your bedroom, wrapping your arms around her in an attempt to hold her as close to you as possible until both of you drifted off to sleep.

This was your happy place. Your found family. Your home.

Blake: (sighs) Dad-

Yang: Hold on, Blake. I got this. (struts over to Ghira) Sir?

Ghira: Hm?

Yang: (slaps Ghira like chump who owes her money)

Blake & Kali: (shock)

Ghira: What in the world?!

Yang: Are you telling me that the biggest, baddest, chieftain of Menagerie is too afraid to hold a baby?!

Ghira: What?

Yang: (grabs Ghira's hands and waves them through the air while occasionally making him slap himself) These hands have fought countless battles! *slap* These hands have held your wife tenderly through passion filled nights! *slap*

Kali: Yeah, they have~

Blake: Mom!

Yang: These hands held your own daughter as a child and have only ever shown family love and affection! *slap* Are you saying you can't control these hands?!

Ghira: No!

Yang: Are you going to tell your granddaughter when she grows up that you were too afraid to hold her?!

Ghira: No!!!

Yang: Are you going to disappoint your daughter by denying her the heartfelt memory of seeing her father holding her baby?!

Ghira: NO!!! (leaps from his chair and struts over to Kali) Give me the child!

Kali: (hands over the baby)

Ghira: (takes the baby tenderly and returns to the chair like an absolute king - tears streaming down his face) She's so light.....

Yang: (tearing up with Ghira) I know! Isn't she?

Blake: .........I'm surprised that worked.

Billie: so, now that we're dating, I need to introduce you to my son.

Julianna: a bit late to bring something like that up, isn't it?

Billie: well, he is technically an adult. I think you ahould meet him.

*later that day, at Billie's place*

Billie: so this is Mark. He might look familiar, he used to be the outsider.

Julianna: ... (too dumbfounded to speak)

Outsider: why do we only have brocoli and untoasted bread in the fridge? I am starving.

Billie: because some brat won't eat his veggies.

Julianna: ... (trying to decide which of her 367 questions to ask first)

Outsider: and who's that? Your girlfriend? You two better not do anything indecent in the flat, that'd be disgusting.

Julianna: aren't you a bit old to be living with your mum? You're what? 4000 years old, and still unable to toast your own bread.

Outsider: I - you - urgh! *runs off with his untoasted bread to his room*

Billie, patting Julie on the back: you'd make a great aunt.

Everyone who’s like, “Weiss seeing the Bees kiss and thinking, ‘oh i sureee hope this doesnt awaken smth in me ohh noooo’” are amazing 10/10 yall are genuinely funny as fuck but also are we just gonna completely forget that:

1. Weiss’ “about time” LIKE GIRLYPOP KNOWSSSS THE POWER OF ✨SAPPHICISM✨‼️‼️‼️ WINGMAN WEISS TRUTHERS STAY WINNING‼️‼️‼️

2. Weiss stayed with Saphron and Terra and watched these two happily married WIVES raising their OWN CHILD in DOMESTIC BLISS like the bees kissing was monumental behind the poverty of language but sure as hell not Weiss’ first exposure to gay media akfkwkfkwsm

Anyways Bees stay winning and I hope they’re such insufferable flirts that Weiss gags at them <333

Yang: I'm making holy water

Blake: How is that making holy water?

Yang: I'm boiling the hell out of it

[munofmanyminds]

Closed starter for @coquetties based loosely on this

"What do you think, babe?" Blake's arms snaked around her waist from behind as they faced the windows overlooking a large garden. The real estate agent had made himself scarce, probably lurking somewhere in order to gauge their reaction to the house. It was a private showing, their second time looking at this house; their potential future home. Placing a soft kiss on her jaw, he smiled against her skin. "Is this it?"
